That would result in insanity for me. Is there any argument other than it seems like cave people must have?

so this is a price discovery mechanism in an early tranche of tickets?

How does resale help the artist? By inflating expectations for ticket prices for the next show?

Yes I agree. My point was more generally that the discussion around whether other people can tell ignores how one feels themself. I don’t often hear that point made, that you can’t lie to yourself IF it’s important to you that it’s natural

That can be the right call (and is the one I would make) but for situations like this, it may be as much about how you think about something yourself rather than how others view it. If spending more makes it mean something different to you,

I love deeply observing paintings and also love taking a photo while in a museum. It helps me remember the details and review like spaced repetition the things I saw, or spend more time observing nuance later. Are many people ticking boxes?

I suspect you would need much more kinetic energy to get a thermite reaction going than the aluminum powder in a sand blaster.

many of these leaderboards were built internally by curious ICs and taken down by leadership (for obvious reasons).

This is such an under appreciated point. I feel the same about wine but have ruined myself for coffee, bread, cheese, etc.

I have almost exactly the opposite reaction. By not caring so much about the minute details of physical things, or having the very best croissants or whatever, frees you up to enjoy anything or focus on interactions with people, ideas, anyt

I had to provision a 1U server in grad school. Turing that thing on in the office was a joke. Completely impossible to work with it on if you were anywhere in that part of the office.

Fun to see this here. I had the good fortune of participating in the first match of motorcycle polo in Rwanda back in 2007. This continued on for a while and eventually got a writeup in the NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2012&

Only the ridiculous ones. You can get an M6 for 2500 or an M3 for 1200. Lenses are 400-2k unless you go for crazy glass.

This raises a good point. Most people who aren’t public writers might be misidentified based on the prevalence of others work in training data sets. Kelsey Piper might have a very different experience with this than a mostly offline normal

I think it can be radically more pedestrian than this. Just affording basic life in a high COL area is insane. Getting an apt in NY and paying for childcare for two kids can already be a 16k/mo endeavor, no porche entering the equation

How can a t-shirt possibly be worth $100? Is that truly better than alternatives?

The paper suggests it’s for forecasting. How this doesn’t just represent the relatively small number of training samples isn’t obvious to me. If most of the time series for training go up and to the right then I assume that’s what the model

It seems like most of the implementation is FPGA, which I wouldn’t call “physically burned into silicon.” That’s quite a stretch of language

This seems like a pile of generally good, and some non-obvious advice, that's also useful outside of the boundaries of ML (it would also apply to a PhD in Neuroscience for example).

I have a three year old and would still never subject others to tablet noise. Yes they’re the literal worst to fly with but don’t export your misery to others.

Kids playing games is the truly annoying one. You feel terrible saying anything but it’s also some of the most annoying sounds.

I’m not sure how you can come to the conclusion that AI is an advocate for the individual writ large. It seems that AI can just as easily be used to make algorithmic decisions on who receives care (based on symptoms etc). Whether or not tha

On a mobile platform though… Rentable defense is already a thing, but rapidly deployable mini-interceptors like Anduril and many others, or electronic countermeasures could plausibly become much more widespread.

This was a surprisingly satisfying and interesting read. Cool setup and delightfully random but well answered question.

while an important consideration, I'm sure there are many on the up side of the k-economy that don't believe that persistent surveillance is warranted or ethical.

We already have speed cameras Al over NYC. Often the posted speeds there are 25 leading to some absurd tickets.
