The church of economics considers it holy when negative externalities are factored into prices.

I don't know. It's kind of beside the point of rich foreigners coming and littering up the mountain. Probably it should be required that their employers buy insurance on their behalf. In fact, they went on strike for something lik

I don't think the grandparent poster is suggesting that the sherpas be forced to recover the body. If you read the article, it makes it clear that in practice , several poor people already are cleaning up after the rich people who h

To be fair to nsxwolf, I did not originally explain. I tend to gradually expand my comments. The first iteration was just lashing out at this trend I see on this site which I highly disapprove of: facile reactions to any work that the comme

I think when you add "why try to reinvent the wheel?" to the end, it is less of a question and more of a statement. Similar to saying, "Why would you do that?" after someone does something silly. You aren't actually

I am 100% positive that they considered that before starting to work on this ASIC. Some possible reasons: GPUs are insufficiently specialized, or use too much energy on the subset of work that Apple wants to enable with this chip. GPUs are

Even if it is, that's a questionably useful observation, because computers can consume and dissipate much more energy than the human brain.

As gently as possible, I want to let you know that not all relationships are like the one you so unfortunately experienced with your father.

Their front page right at this moment has several unpleasant articles, including three Islamophobic items, one anti-Semitic item, and one joke accusing liberals of equating conservative economic policy and racism. So that's probably no

It seems something like this would be great for airport scanners too, although the biggest benefit would be in luggage scanning. I think the challenge would be finding a diverse enough set of true positives to train the model.

I see this error so often on hn. You say, "we don't need x, we need y." When in reality we need neither, and both would be highly beneficial.

The millennials we are talking about are not, for the most part, going without shelter. They are living in smaller, less nice place than they would otherwise, and/or renting. Homelessness is a qualitatively different problem than middl

I can see where you got your expectations from. You should reach out to the researcher. Maybe they can tell you why it's not OSS. I'd not be surprised if it was some mix of medical devices being a special case, and the IP being ow

Yeah, I will say that I downvoted you. Your expectations (source code, that the results would be documented to your satisfaction after a trial of size N=1) seem unreasonable to me, to the extent that I personally think it is downvote worthy

You're tilting at windmills. Most threads where someone starts something new has someone making similar complaints to the one you're making here. Yet people's behavior doesn't change. And it won't -- it's just

That's incredible. For anyone who doesn't think in terms of square feet, that's a square with a 270 meter edge.

Well. Google does not outsource the daycares. So that would not be a delta versus Apple in this domain.

It doesn't require it, except that Apple has failed to decouple Safari from iOS, and so it can't be updated like regular apps.

Ad hominem arguments are chiefly problematic in pure logical discourse. In normal human rhetoric, the reputation of the person making the argument often factors in to whether listeners view the argument as truthful. It's not a problem

It's not like Google's daycare is particularly accessible either. The cost is far above market rate -- almost 2x from what I've heard -- and your chances of getting in are <10%. It's not a free benefit, and it's

I only have a few milliseconds to do the search. I erred in what I said though. I find one or two improvements on the initial result during the time I have allotted. I'd reach out, but I doubt the company would approve of talking to

Yeah, I think the main issue is that I have only tested on pessimal problems so far. In this case, I'm only able to find one or two solutions before I run out of time to iterate, so neither Tabu nor SA are giving me much. Monday I&#x27

I think you mean that they will not necessarily find optimal solutions, at least when the problem size is large. I understand that. What I don't understand is how to verify that they're giving me anything better than local search.
