Known in the sense that they know it’s possible, sure. Known in the sense that they know what the likelihood of any given rate increase is over 15-30 years (and are therefore capable of pricing it in)? No. “Priced in” has a very specific me

This is pointless word-smithing to get out of being blamed for consequences. These popups exist because of GDPR requiring them, they’re GDPR popups. GDPR is the prop65 of privacy, and there was no chance of any other result.

Companies would just change the checkbox from “I acknowledge the privacy policy” to “I grant you this license”.

First, for some people front loading their earnings is important so they can enjoy more of life. Second, as another thread goes into, the risk-adjusted picture of startup vs established tech company is quite different.

That’s what the comment you’re replying to is saying, you just used more words. You’re downstream from someone who asserted they are a hard 0 on the caring, which it sounds like you agree is… unlikely.

If you actually don’t care you wouldn’t post because it wouldn’t occur to you to. Edit: I find that most people who scream “I don’t care what you think” generally mean “I’m not influenced by what you think”. Which is an important difference

It would be fascinating to take a sample of people, compare their avatars to their real life appearance, and then have them spend an hour talking to a shrink about why they are so similar/different. Anecdotally, I know many people in b

There is no chance that those were the three options at a federal public meeting, primarily because that type of survey is not how public meetings work. It’s certainly the case that public meetings are not binding on the agency, nor should

I mean, that is how it works, but sometimes agencies overstep their delegated authority and are overruled by the courts. Then they have to go back to the congress and get their authority amended or not.

This is how laws work in the US though, it’s called rule making authority. For example, the clean air act doesn’t specify any of the levels or pollutants, it empowers (or in that case creates) the Department or Agency to make rules within s

Good luck convincing the HN crowd that the FBI aren’t rubbing elbows with the MSS under everyone’s bed.

Huh? First, the bank can’t possibly price future interest rates into the price of a fixed loan as they’re by definition unknown. Second, we’re talking about the economic model of which is better for consumers. It assumes no refinancing to l

Oh good, more adoption of this exhausting trope of religious texts being called myths. Very inclusive.

That math is my favorite example of economists not living in the real world. It doesn’t account for the ability to refinance.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, this is a very good answer. Maybe because you left out the implied “and then firewall off that vlan”?

Maybe you’ve never experienced good management? Good managers are significantly different in very obvious ways even in the absence of conflict. A good managers job is not just helping you navigate chaos.

That’s something like a 50% premium over Azure, even before reservation discounts, that’s insane! Edit: todays pricing looks like about 20% higher, still. How are these prices so different.

This quote has, pound for pound, provided more comfort to terrible leaders than any other. It’s also just not true, good leadership is very obvious.

The sad part is they think that all the reporting and metrics, and the juking of the stats which goes along with it, is making things better. In reality it’s generally keeping things the same but with a pretty coat of paint.

Your conclusion sounds an awful lot like the people in your first sentence are right. Anecdotally, this is what I’ve seen. As people progress on the engineering side and the work gets more demanding, increasingly people bail out and make th

You might want to do some research into the words “science” and “pedantry”, since the former is just meticulous application of the latter. Calling a scientist pedantic is a compliment. That aside, you’ve been arguing that these models under

You said “… models end up internally implementing…”. This is incorrect and also importantly different than what you just said. The model and the training using ICL are different things, which it appears you are now beginning to understand.

Your second bullet isn’t what the paper says. It says that the model’s accuracy under in-context learning from the meta gradients is similar to manual fine-tuning with back propagation (under some surprising constraints in the name of “fair

Our ability to prove a theory or not is entirely dependent on our ability to gather evidence for or against. How many other theories can be thought of is totally irrelevant. Low confidence means inability to prove or disprove. That is it. E

What it means is that we lack the ability to prove either of those theories, not necessarily that either theory is bad.

“We don’t know” is by definition not a theory though, it’s a lack of a theory.

This has been blind tested time after time, and at best nothing beats out a carefully opened bag that’s folded tightly. Many of the fancy containers are actually worse.

Get someone to do both and blind taste them, he’s right.
