skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
As a somewhat technical leader/manager, I’m pretty comfortable with SQL but that also means I know i could pretty easily goof up these queries. I don’t know much about the quality or exceptions that may be present in the underlying data either. I simply wouldn’t trust my own results for fear I was overlooking something. So, I’d rather ask the BI person to make this for me. They should be more intimately familiar with any footguns.

For that reason, I see the technical part of this post at odds with the initial premise that a leadership role should need to learn how to query their data. If the resulting information, stats, etc are being used to answer business questions and make business decisions, it would be best that the person that specializes in this produces said information/queries.

If there’s some tool GUI interface and the datasets are clean or well documented, then maybe the self service nature is on the table again but anything moderately complex likely will still be run through the BI team. In a sense, it’s just basic QC, it’s not that I’m completely helpless. I might even do a first pass and kick it to BI for them to review, but seldom do I find myself in a real world situation where I’m confident enough about my knowledge of the underlying data so that gives me a huge pause most of the time.

The lack of a terrorist nuclear attack is hardly remarkable. There have only been a few "broken arrow" incidents. Most of them would have caused major damage to the physics package and other key components. Or everything is deep under the ocean, beyond scuba range.

Even if a terrorist somehow obtained a complete warhead in good condition they would have a limited time window to use it. In order to operate reliably, warheads require regular maintenance by skilled technicians, and then every few years the entire thing has to be pulled and remanufactured. This is part of the reason why our nuclear deterrent is so enormously expensive: there's a lot of support infrastructure behind the weapons and delivery platforms.

A radiological weapon (dirty bomb) is a more realistic threat.

According to the nukemap calculator if you're ~1km away in the open you'd be fine, and firing from cover (e.g. behind a berm or hill) you could be as close as 200m away with hearing protection and make it out alive so long as you immediately run upwind.

my own theory. Depending on cyclical geography limitations, humans have been forever moving out of Africa sporadically, going way back to Neanderthals and possibly even before. It wasn't just one wave, it was multiple waves from time to time.

The people that ended up in Australia were some of the earliest anatomically modern humans that successfully made the trip out and for some reason or the other were not really able to colonize Europe/Asia and kept venturing south until they ended up in Australia

Other later waves probably made it to the middle east and went back. Some made it a bit into Europe and some of asia. But it wasn't until relatively recent times, that we got waves that finally got a foothold in Europe/Asia and eventually outlasted other homo species that had dominated those areas for a 100,000 years.

If we want to play this game, I have no shortage of Swift brigadiers and abandoned Swift projects to point to, too.

Truth be told; if you look at Swift and Rust and think they are equals in terms of multiplatform support then you must not use many different computers. Fish is written in Rust because Swift does not have maintainers that care about the sort of work Fish does. All of Swift's promising aspects are completely negated by it's borderline unusable standard library.

On the other hand, the amount of actual entropic "information" that is processed when you identify a Rubik's cube as such may be nowhere near as much as you think it is, and most importantly, 10 bits may be nowhere near as little as you think it is.

If we use your example, which is that of identifying an object, we may simply ask the entropy of what the distribution of possible objects-to-be-identified is at t=0, prior to any analysis. Saying we can resolve 10 bits of this entropy per second is equivalent to saying that we can identify one object from a uniform distribution of 1024 per second. Let's suppose this is a low estimate by several orders of magnitude, and that it's really one from a billion objects instead that you can identify per second. Then this would still only be about 30 bits/sec.

None of this changes the main thesis of the paper, which is that this is much lower than the 10⁹ bits/sec our sensory systems transmit.

> the VIN being written into it for no reason

There is good reason for this: theft protection. A long known crime model is the "chop shop" where they tow away a car, then cut it up for parts. Because the VIN is in the ECU a chop shop has less incentive to exist since there is less money in it.

It does of course make legitimate repairs harder, and probably there should be a process to write a new VIN in - but it should only be available to someone who can verify the ECU wasn't stolen (which isn't free).

I'm not sure about how it works in WoW but I can give you a warning about what happens in StarCraft. To prevent other people from editing StarCraft maps (which are MPQs), users would intentionally mangle the MPQ format in just the right way so that the game could still play it but other tools could not open it for editing. So, if there is anything like that going on in WoW world then it might be very hard to reassemble the original MPQs and get a byte for byte match.
Perhaps, but the Sino-Vietnamese War is nearing 40 years old by now. A lot of combat experience and grand strategy from then is completely irrelevant by now. Arguing over how much the basic infantry experience has changed from then to now is one thing, but gaining a significant naval and air power when your last major conflict had zero such thing is another.

That's primarily the reason why the PLA shouldn't be taken seriously. They are mechanizing their military with zero real idea what makes them any good.

Funny I see this kind of misguided comments all the time.

Their immigration policy is never only about illegal immigration. Do you actually think it is possible to tighten immigration policy without affecting H1B?

If you need evidence, just look at what happened between 2017-2021. H1B denial & RFE rates were way up, and the administration tried multiple times to roll out policy that significantly restrict the eligibility of H1B visas. They even used coronavirus as an excuse to issue travel bans on H1B. How is that making legal immigration easier?

But you don't just perceive an object's category (like "cat"). We also perceive a high amount of detail about the object - colour, pattern, behaviour, we make comparisons to past behaviour, predictions of what's likely to happen next and so on.

Sure, some parts of the brain don't receive all that detail, but that's necessary for abstraction. If you pumped all the sensory data everywhere, the brain would get overwhelmed for no reason.
Carburetors are one of the most complex parts of a classic car and thus a bad example. If there are major carburetors problems it is probably simpler to replace it with fuel injection. (but only if a community of people work together - all the different maps and such in the ECU need to be created before you can make a useful fuel injection - this is long tedious work)
On AirBnB just check the "Display total before taxes" box on the search results page.

Not including fees in the nightly rate makes sense as some are fixed rate, and having the option to see the cost for the total stay (including fees) solves the problem.
That's awesome and reminds me of a similar experience I had with Schwab some years ago. I contacted support with a question from an account with a paltry amount of money in it and got back a very detailed and helpful response. My account value to them was probably similar to your $2.50/month VPS account so I was blown away at the quality of the response. I have stuck with the company for years and recommended them multiple times.

> The eastern Orthodox church refers to itself as the "Catholic Church" in internal documents. After the west fell in 476, they continued to present themselves as "the" Catholic church...

Is that really so odd? Doesn't "catholic" mean something like "universal," and I think it would be very odd for one faction of a split organization to cede that kind of title to its rival faction.

I might be misunderstanding your point, but I kinda feel it should be followed up with a kind of "Did you know, Western European, that these two different things are actually similar in this way you didn't know about?"

I knew I explained that poorly. What I mean is that, in comparing "y'all" to "all y'all", a simple "y'all" is "you guys (and maybe me)" while "all y'all" is "you guys and not me".

Grammatical constructs can have a lot of variation between languages, and there are certainly nuances that can't be expressed in English the same way that it can be in other languages. One thing we lack is a nuanced sense of past, while other languages have baked in ways to express recent past or distant past (e.g. Bantu languages).

My proposed interpretation regarding "all y'all" is not academic, just a native feel, and I'm sure other native speakers could disagree.
> deciding that this is the most relevant activity to keep doing at the moment, instead of doing math or going out for a walk.

How many bits of actual decision is going on here, as compared to the period of time that decision applies to?

For example, if a person decided once per second whether or not to go for a walk, that could be 1 bit per second. But if that person is constantly transitioning back and forth between walking and not-walking, we could consider their behavior pathological. Instead, for most people, the information density of these decisions is quite low, i.e. the per-second decision bits are very compressible.

Personally, I only decide whether to go for a walk (or not) _at most_ once every few minutes. Even if we add in bits for "where" and "precisely when" and "how long", I think we're still at just a small fraction of 1 bit per second.
If so I think that is probably fine. Masculinity is also a trait that has been diminishing with each generation.

Because every nuclear power developed their own enrichment processes and bomb technology, their bombs have different isotope ratios in the fallout. It's possible to analyze the fallout to determine where the bomb came from. That might not tell you who is responsible (as the weapon may have been stolen), but it would at least tell you which country's nuke it was.[1][2]

Also, one nuke isn't as destructive as you might think. If you play around with nukemap, you can see that a 50 kiloton warhead detonated in Chicago would be the worst attack in US history, but the city would not be gone. Around 5% of the population would be killed and another 7% would be injured.[3] Remember that the two cities that were nuked took about 10 years to rebuild, and that was in a country that had lost most of its infrastructure and manpower in a devastating world war.

>it requires physical access to the device

Reducing your attack surface to the people who can/are willing to gain physical access to your device to use a passkey is orders of magnitude smaller than a password that can be taken and used from anywhere in the world, without having to get up from their computer.

If someone really wanted to gain access to something of yours, they could take you and your family hostage and force you, but that is an incredibly small attack surface. "What we have accomplished" is shrinking the attack surface, not perfect security.
> beware of people over-systematizing and over-centralizing, as it can come at the cost of delivery efficiency and defeats the point of operationalizing design

Yes but also be aware of systems (or lack of) that people deliver crap fast (which is only better than delivering crap slowly).
The problem is that there's no way to specify an exception specification like "I propagate everything that this lambda throws" (or, for generics, "that method M of class C throws").
Nor can you access a modern site from their phone unless you have a Yubikey, access to SMS, or a recovery code.

If you need to do this, it works the same for a passkey: if it’s a very close friend, you can share the passkey with them. If not, you can use the same login you’re now with the same MFA. Passkeys don’t need 100% adoption to be effective: the big win is blocking phishing attacks and that works as long as you’re not using passwords by default.
The article doesn't say, but I wonder if this suit is being backed by a "detransitioning" organization. A number of groups recruit people who are still unhappy after their transition, and promote them heavily. The fact that there are so few of these lawsuits implies that there just aren't that many such people.

The plaintiff claims that they were prescribed drugs without any examination. If so, it should be easy to demonstrate from the records. It would be deeply unfortunate if such a prominent doctor had screwed up this case, and presumably there would be more such examples to follow.

And if not, that too should be obvious from the patient records. Unfortunately, that would not prevent the anti-trans organizations to keep seeking out any single individual harmed by their transition in the hopes of destroying the possibility of a procedure that has helped a great number of people who are very happy and healthy post-transition.

These letters are jointly distributed, and the entropy of the joint distribution of a second of "plausible" English text is much lower than the naive sum of the marginal entropies of each letter. In fact, with LLMs that report the exact probability distribution of each token, it is now possible to get a pretty decent estimate of what the entropy of larger segments of English text actually is.

For school once I had to write a program called "Poetry Writer". Basically it would take input text, build a linked list(taking in account proceeding and following words) with for each word and output a randomized version of the poem.

I HAD to of course name all of my variables as poets and poems.

So you have "Edgar_Allen gets new The_Road_Not_Taken", all was fine during my tests but for some reason it did not interface well with the code provided by the teacher to do the actual input so I had to take it to the TA for help.

I then learnt why descriptive names, not just comments are helpful. Although, the TA was impressed by my selections XD
That still doesn't explain strange sentences in the article such as"

> Why does the brain need billions of neurons to process 10 bits/s?

Maybe the article is being intentionally disingenuous here? The brain is definitely not processing 10 bits/s, maybe a small part of it is.

I'd also say that you can make very complicated problems with only 10 bits of input (e.g. calculating busy-beaver of N), so "processing X bits" where X is a small value is no guarantee that this should be doable with a low amount of processing anyway.
