The uncomfortable reality here is that the Chinese are simply better than us at most things. But simply surrendering all of our core industries is not a viable plan for any country. This puts the US in a difficult position. We are loosing t

This is getting off topic but I do not believe that the Commonwealth of the Philippines was legally/formally a US territory in 1939. It was a protectorate whose foreign affairs were administered by the United States, but it had its own

*nobel memorial laureate. This is exactly why people get annoyed with the branding of the bank of Sweden’s economics prize. We have yet to see the prize for chemistry awarded for research that does not reproduce.

That was a tabloid page turner of an arxiv preprint. Really nice mixed methods research paper that conveys the depth of these scams.

I too have always found this strange but I have never found a solid reason. Having an explicit declaration of intent is not a terrible feature in a data type so this is not exactly a bad choice. Also this means that a camera roll from a sin

I find this attitude to be really frustrating. Based on my experiences teaching math a student is not going to learn how to do the impressive things that you might call thinking if they don't have a solid foundation in how to do the ba

This really isn’t fair. It is not simply hope and pray: it is a clearly stated/enforced deterrent that anyone who violates the policy will be terminated. You lose your income and seriously harm your future career prospects. This is mor

For $500 you may as well spend an extra $100 and get a Mac mini with an m4 chip and 256gb of ram and avoid the headaches of coordinating 4 machines.

Agreed. These services offer a lot of valuable social infrastructure, and it would be nice to keep the good and stop the bad. On a personal level I do something like this on my home router by adding latency to specific websites and I totall

This is kind of an unreasonable request. The OP is making claim of a general trend not obscure and subtle bias on any single article. Informally the claim feels true from my experience with Wikipedia and it makes sense that a small number o

Yeah my bad. I saw the substack subscribe footer followed by the full Gutta Percha section and figured that it was a separate article. In my defense that was a very circuitous lead in.

I think your link is broken. Need to scroll past a more recent article on an incident of 19th century American history before the target article on botanicals and golf balls.

This post really nails it. The fact that access to a user photo is an all or nothing game and the most basic operations require full access is a huge problem in Apple’s ecosystem. Web browsers are able to easily let a 3rd party upload a fil

To your point there are plenty of apps that explicitly operate on the photo reel so the api/permission is needed. Steelmanning the point: plenty of apps request photo permissions that shouldn’t need it. This is really an Apple problem

Exif data is really fascinating, and exiftool is really worth playing around with for an afternoon. The metadata on color space, focal distance, aperture are all really useful tools for making photos look correct on an arbitrary display sur

On principle no it is not surprising given the points you mention. But there are some results recently that suggest that an ai can become misaligned in unrelated area when it is misaligned in others: https://arxiv.org/abs&#x

I think this is something else. These plans are not about cutting moribund departments that produce nothing. These are plans to fire people who are currently performing well and delivering for the company absent any downturn. This is very d

No disagreements with the article. Best to be clear eyed as this comes down the pipe. Getting told 'we will fire you as soon as we can' is not a great workplace, but the bigger indictment of management here is that they have no pl

The title is a bit misleading: the Interview is mostly just boomer rambling with very little talk of San Francisco. There is a brief digression about Hitchcock's Vertigo - which is a great movie and I enjoyed that section. The movie is

This is true for mature markets but a new technology that a horde of lawyers are salivating over a chance to sue has a significant asymptomatic risk. One accident and the whole business is illegalized.

I doubt that an A/B test would really do much. System prompts are kind of a superficial kludge on top of the model. They have some effect but it generally doesn't do too much beyond what is already latent in the model. Consider th

Not sure this is true. Most of the famous Irish writers were Anglo-Irish Protestants (Yeats, Wilde, Swift, Beckett). Joyce is the notable exception here. The Irish certainly produce great cultural works of the English language (well beyond
