We don’t have to completely wipe ourselves out to regress or stagnate. There have been many civilizations that have regressed.

Solid state batteries and fusion might in the end suffer from a similar economical problem. That they turn out to simply be too expensive.

This seems completely unrealistic nowadays, unless you are the size of China or the United States. The EU could also do this, but there seems to be currently only limited appetite for a more integrated EU.

Without Manchin the Inflation Reduction Act would not have passed. Arguably Biden‘s biggest accomplishment.

Radiology seems like a good field for AI because it's easier to see what automation would look like in practice, since an MRI, CT-Scan directly produces data and which can be fed to an AI. How well this actually works, I have no idea.

They probably have this data. But the data is most definitely heavily polluted: Fake job listings, jobs posted to several sites, sites that aggregate job listings etc. This data is probably more polluted by AI then AI has influenced job ope

Or it could have been internal politics. Amazon top management set the goal to cut 30k and after internal discussions with lower management they come up with 14k positions that can actually be cut.

This is actually a good read: https://www.nber.org/research/business-cycle-dating Employment is an important indicator according NBER.

I always overestimate how much I can do in one day and I underestimate how much I can get done in 100 days (with the caveat that I have to work on it consistently).

I recently talked to someone who works at a company that builds fairly complicated machinery (induction heating for a certain material processing). He works in management and they did a week long workshop with a bunch of the managers to fig

Is that still true?

Any example? Unless it was completely racist, I feel like a lot of people have been complaining about H1Bs for many years without any problems. Also here on hacker news.

I guess we'll see soon if this theory holds. If the 100k per year fee is truly implemented, H1B will be mostly dead.

Well, China is now completely dominating the renewable energy sector. There were some efforts in the last few years of the US and some other western countries like Germany to catch up. But it kind of looks like this space will be ceded, for

My understanding is that mosfets themselves are usually not UL certified/listed. I recently did a UL certification of a power supply and the IGBTs we used were themselves also not UL certified. The UL certification was more about the o

That is even true for covid for obvious reasons, because Covid runs out of people it can infect at some point.

What clicked for me was drawing the chain rule as a graph. When I was in school I just applied the chain rule without thinking about it. I really didn't mean this to be some deep insight or anything. Just an anecdotal comment.

Obviously, Newton and Leibniz and many other Mathematicians (and other people) understood the chain rule before back propagation. But unfortunately I am very far from a Newton or Leibniz, so it took me a lot longer to grasp why the chain ru

by _fizz_buzz_ 1y ago
Funny enough. For me it was the other way around. I always knew how to compute the chain rule. But really only understood what the chain rule means when I read up on what back propagation was.

It's really not as big of deal anymore. My co-worker got an electric car and has his own house with a garage and never ended up installing a wall box. He simply charges at work or while buying groceries.

Floating ice will displace exactly as much water as it does when it melts to water. Ice that melts on a land mess such as Greenland and Antarctica will raise the ocean level when it melts.

This can only be used where efficiency doesn't matter, like military applications for powering a drone. The overall efficiency i.e. grid -> laser -> pv -> grid would be atrocious.
