The ColPali paper(1) does a good job explaining why you don’t really want to directly use vision embeddings; and how you are much better off optimizing for RAG with a ColPali like setup. Basically, it is not optimized for textual understanding, it works if you are searching for the word bird; and images of birds. But doesn’t work well to pull a document where it’s a paper about birds.

Yes.

They are clearly preferring to save their money on insurance and keep the chance to lose all their belongings and be displaced. That is a fair way to say what happens when people with the option to buy insurance don't. Including people both whose houses burnt down and whose houses didn't burn down.

In economics there is a difference between stated preferences and economic or "revealed" preferences. It shows what people say they want and what people do with their money are not always the same thing.

Sometimes especially what people say and what people do with their money differ in predictable ways.

It can be fun to juxtapose the observed behaviors with what people say. Makes for very compelling and sometimes cynical commentary.

This doesn't block you from visiting MSN, but it does stop their articles from appearing in search. The reason is that MSN just re-hosts articles from other sites rather than provide anything of value. MSN posts often outrank their original source because Microsoft is pushing it hard on Windows/Bing/Edge.

For example: https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/jodie-foster-heckled-a... is just a re-hosted version https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/jod...

My hope in hiding MSN is to allow the original sources to rise back up to the top.
If you actually have a tracking system like this (a lot of insurance companies will offer it), you'll find the bar for unsafe driving is ridiculously low.

The truth is insurance agencies always want to find a reason to increase your premiums, because the law says you can't just increase the premiums for no reason. Most premiums are lower than what it "needs" to be, so if they find an excuse, they will jack up the premiums.

Indeed, the objective from your manager is to launch X feature (as designed by the design and product teams and in collaboration with three other teams) and achieve Y% usage within the quarter of Z.

However, if the company’s priorities change, significant on-call issues arise, the design team experiences a layoff, the front-end team undergoes an exodus, and the product team abandons the project, you will not meet your objective. Any one of these, or more could happen.

Consequently, you will be considered a low performer. You could have kept the ship afloat, kept the trains running on time, and deployed your part of the project on time and under budget, but still be a low performer on paper.

I don't know anything about db-engines.com but I have literally been hearing nothing but good things in regards to postgres for 20 years now.

I guess as a "newer employee" (8 years now) I see that and say "yeah, that was pretty much my first job search. Maybe a bit better reply rate". I may not have been applying for jobs in 2008, but I feel this bust isn't just about low hiring. And that's what makes it all the worse.

For reference, these 8 years and 3 jobs later, I'm probably around 300-20-0. Or 1 if you the count the part time freelancing that just showed up out of the blue. But I didn't even apply for that.
To be fair I've seen NYC _pedestrians_ yell at other pedestrians for walking wrong, NYC isn't exactly an outwardly friendly place in that respect.
I have more of an issue with the idea that you can make a previously dangerously fast street/road safer by mere virtue of reducing the speed limit, but leaving it physically designed as before. You lower the limit by -5, the +5 speeding turns to +10 speeding and absolutely nothing changes save for wasted paint. I wish North American traffic engineers (and municipal politicians) were better educated on the idea that the only reliable way to slow down drivers is to force them to slow down by making it physically intensely uncomfortable to speed, and that sending drivers to body shops after fender-benders with traffic calming features is preferable to sending vulnerable street users to the morgue. Alas, both occupations are still stuck in an outdated car-centric view of urban transportation.

This competency shortfall is present in other transportation- and infrastructure-related fields. See for example how badly North American construction companies and government bureaucracies handle big transit projects. Third-world levels of mediocrity compared to the cost-effective, competent management in, say, Spain or Japan.

In emails case all the larger providers I'm aware of retire addresses to prevent this sort of abuse, probably learned the hard way. Could Google OAuth do something similar here?

It now occurs to me that large businesses might have the same issue with emails and former employees (easy to imagine John Smith departing and at a later date John Smith being hired) so I wonder how they typically handle this.
> With the change, the light always sits green for drivers on Palm, so cars are now always flying through that street when they previously had to stop at a stop sign. Why don’t lights ever sit idle with the pedestrian crossing on and the cars must wait?

Where I live, this doesn't happen because there's not enough pedestrians to justify it. When I drive in Seattle, the lights never idle, but pedestrian cycles are always included.

With a non-scramble intersection, not including pedestrians by default allows for faster cycling, including for pedestrians that want to cross the alternate way. With a scramble intersection, I'd bet if a pedestrian shows up and pushes the button, an idle green will go yellow immediately. Yes, it's a longer wait than crossing immediately as you would at an idle intersection, but now you can cross diagonally, so that may be a win.

It's worth checking with the traffic engineer to see how they would decide to always include a pedestrian cycle, perhaps during times of high pedestrian use like during hours where students are likely to cross the street between classes.
May you never have to write one again, but if you do, it might be helpful to think of the cover letter as a reflective writing exercise. You might be able to gauge your level of interest in a particular role by how easy it is to write about, for example. Or it could just be some practice at communicating your strengths and abilities (this would definitely apply to me).

IMO it's too disheartening to put effort into such personal writing without the awareness of some kind of direct value or benefit, since chances are it's going straight into the void.
As someone who has been MetaARPA for about 20 years at this point I would be _pissed_ if they sold out.
In general I'm in agreement that they present a life where being an "influencer" is a goal in and of itself, but I think it's mostly harmless, like kids wanting to be a rock star or a professional athlete. These are unobtainable for most people but learning some music or sports or video production isn't a bad idea for anyone because you don't know where it will lead.

The specific criticism of "flaunting their huge wealth" does not apply at least to MrBeast -- he specifically is not very wealthy (I mean, he may be, but he says that he is not and he does not flaunt any such wealth; on the few occasions where his personal life is highlighted it seems he lives rather humbly). He claims to put all of the money he earns back into his videos; so when he makes enough to buy a "lambo" or whatever he will buy one and give it away to whoever can swallow the most toothpicks or whatever.

MrBeast does not push a life of luxury as his lifestyle, he presents a life of being a celebrity influencer whose life is making more spectacles.

The messaging of this article is causing people in this very comment section to conclude that climate change is progressing slower (or even not progressing at all) based on a revision of a plant CO2 uptake study that was done in the 1980s.

Like it or not climate science is extremely political and selectively reported science (which this is) that is presented to the public needs to account for the context in which it exists or it is no better than propaganda. The fact that the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is primarily funded by the US Department of Energy is plenty of reason to be suspicious of its motivations. They have a vested interest in shaping the public's perception of energy production and its impact on the climate.
This was at the center of controversy many years ago, described as a sort of alt-right pipeline. I believe there are studies about that exact algorithm behavior on youtube. My understanding is that it was changed to loop back around to trusted content sooner.

I agree, in my limited experience the sub remains consistent even when changing the Google Workspace domain. So the email changes but sub remains the same. The issue seems to be clients matching on email/hd claim instead.

I wonder what action is causing the sub to change like the author suggests is happening.
No, the inference they have isn't reliable enough to predict anything except with broad groups.

And not only that, almost every form of auth has the same vulnerability not just log in with Google. If you own the domain, you own the email IDs as well and you can very likely reset password.
1) it makes the travel of a pedestrian going straight become a zig zag where you have to weave into streets that you don't care about. You end up minimizing distance for cars but maximizing distance for pedestrians. It should be the other way around

2) HAWK signals, which are pedestrian buttons affecting lights on pedestrian crossings away from intersections (usually on stroads) have been shown to be worse than nothing because drivers don't really notice them nor the pedestrians (in drivers heads "intersection" equals "watch out for cross traffic, everywhere else it's "go forward and pay attention to the car in front of you"), and pulls some pedestrians to an unwarranted sense of safety.

3) "which isn't super common" tells me that this a very car dependent place. There's a mid block pedestrian light on mission between 1st and 2nd in SF, and there's always someone waiting on it to change. Part of the reason it's there is because there's a straight pedestrian route that allows you to get from Market Street to the terminal.
Green state is very short. 15 seconds is barely enough for 2-3 cars. My guess this force drivers to speedup.

> What would make such a system an improvement is being able to store and retrieve facts about players (HP, stats, inventory), NPCs(names, location, history), and Places(items, descriptions, inhabitants) in order to solve the needs-haystack problem. Creating a world ontology and being able to CRUD facts against such an ontology would be a game changer(literally).

Curiously, those are the exact things LLMs can't do well, and are not really supposed to. This is all stuff you (or an external system) should keep track of and supply to LLM in context "just in time". This is to say, LLMs are an important component, but alone they won't work. They need their tools :).

In short, LLMs are pure "system 1", the complete solution still needs "system 2", which fortunately is more amenable to classical computing approaches.
Fires can get caused by all kinds of things beyond power lines. Its added risk but its only really a risk because the wind, humidity, and fuel load were so ideal. At that point it could be a cigarette butt or freak lightning storm or an arsonist and it would do in the hillside all the same.

Do you mean bins where people like, take an orange flag out, cross the street holding the flag, and then put the orange flag back in the bin on the other side? This is the first I'm ever hearing of that, and it sounds immediately ridiculous. But with further consideration I could see this being quite interesting for significantly changing the dynamic.
Does anybody know why that is? I was under the impression UK staff are cheaper than US staff.
I really don't understand here, the proper way to use Google's OpenID implementation to authenticate someone is to use the `sub` claim. Don't use the email, don't verify it yourself, use the `sub` claim. It's a known fact and is properly documented[1].

If the `sub` changes, it's because it's not necessarily the same person so have a flow ready for that. It could be an employee left and came back, a domain change, an IT error that lead to a reprovisioning of the user, etc.

I also fail to see how the proposed solution of having a 'A unique user ID that doesn’t change over time' is different from the `sub` claim. However, the new ID associated to the domain could make sense to enforce a strong 'Everyone from the @domain.com has access' statement.

That would only be true if people could expect multiple insurance events over their life time.

But, if the expected time to an insurance payout for a good driver is longer than their life time, then good drivers will never have enough money in their account to cover an accident that occurs.

Building a network is something anyone can do. Join meetups. Find local user groups. Find online groups and get active in them. Give talks. Write and publish your thoughts locally and/or online. Talk with people. Ask (good) questions. Let people get to know you and the way you think. Many more ways exist than just these.

Connecting with other professionals in various ways is all there is to building a network and anyone can do it. They just have to do it.

Correct, I mean the actual, ready-to-eat hot breasts. The whole point is that health shouldn't have to come at the of convenience when there's good options right there. You can't blame a person who's working to make ends meet and doing the labor of childcare on for choosing food that is literally ready to eat over a raw chicken that takes extra work to prepare. Half the reason junk food is so popular is the convenience, and we have to set the incentives so the good stuff isn't worse.
