Great point, the incentives and mutual interests are definitely there. I think it comes down to how ideological the opposition to climate change is in Aus... I.e. are they completely committed to not doing anything effective to mitigate it

Thanks for the link, already ordered the other sensors. Looks like SGP30 isn't quite as easy to use with ESPHome right now, so something to upgrade to within a year. Its really amazing how great the ecosystem is with ESPHome, I was al

Whats the chance that $500M is actually to help the reef and not just used for corruption or forgotten about until the next election? I have zero faith in the current Australian gov doing anything to mitigate climate change... Otherwise thi

I personally believe morality and self interest strongly overlap over the long term, but short term they are largely independent conditional on the probability of getting caught... Humans might have too short lifespans, memories and limited

On a related note, I've been looking for a good sensor that is hopefully plug & play and reliable for integration with home assistant. Is something like https://www.banggood.com/Geekcreit-Nova-PM-Sensor-SDS011-Hig..

What human bias would a knowledge seeking AIXI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIXI ) agent have? AIXI is incomputable but that doesn't mean unbiased approximations would have any resemblance to any human-provided

Pricing in externalities are the only good economic argument for tariffs I'm aware of... Carbon tax + tariffs in proportion to the lack of carbon taxes would be the most logical way of setting up a market-based solution to climate chan

The problem is people who would pay to avoid ads are those worth targeting... I'd love if a single service could let me opt out of all tracking and ads internet wide for a fixed fee, say $50-$100 a month.

I'm getting tempted to go the LineageOS with MicroG route on my Pocophone (need to confirm it works first). Does this mean I can use the Play store and apps such as Spotify without much issue?

You actually have to make it deliberately slow if Google's js is disabled? that seems a little malicious...

It is a huge amount of money. Though the real question is the feedback loops UBI creates IMHO... The money will be injected straight back in the economy as people are still living paycheck to paycheck at that wage, so given studies show eve

Just to add here that the columns and not just the rows are also sampled at each node so the trees are deliberately prevented from learning too much. This helps improve diversity and reduce overfitting. This is typically around 1/3rd o

Its an interesting question; if you're an aggressor and see a 'low tech' civilisation recklessly build an obvious Dyson sphere what probability do you put that its a honeypot from a real threat... and so on. I personally find

Have there been any studies about whether Dyson swarms harvesting under 0.1% of the star's output are detectable, especially if the designers want to minimize the chance of detection? I suspect that civilisations that make it to the Dy

As a gross approximation, the hormones and other chemicals might act like hyperparameters in the neural networks. Increase learning rates, adjust regularisation penalties, few-shot learning vs generalisation etc.

I'm kind of surprised no insurance company has started offering medical tourism yet... go to US hospital for this treatment or get a holiday and treatment in one of these destinations. (edit: I'm not in the US so no idea what is t

This is good advice, will read the article now. Just checked out lofi, looks really great actually! Been looking for a minimalistic spotify visualiser / interface for my linux htpc.

I was thinking more ram, faster ssd or better gpu... but a browser accelerator that worked would be pretty cool :)

Its not unreasonable, people frequently talk about hundreds or even thousands of tabs open here on HN. I have 8 virtual desktops with different projects open, R studio and Jupyter notebook windows plus reference reading material. The work I

I would _love_ if firefox handled lots of background tabs better, my biggest complaint is how the browser UI lags with lots of background tabs open. This seems like its a scheduling issue, operations in background tabs should be lower prior

DNN's make good features though, especially if you have time series data or lots of text. I agree that the final model should be a randomforest/xgboost/lightgbm for typical tabular data.

If your concern is that it will reduce the supply of blood to younger people who currently use it then this is something that can be solved with incentives in a way that everyone benefits (e.g. people using it for rejuvenation pay more to s

I'm honestly pretty conflicted here and the best thing that is coming out of this is some healthy debate. IMHO the strongest argument against publishing it is because its built from Reddit it includes a lot of toxicity... VinayPrabhu o

Would be cool if this can be integrated with mpv, I tried SVP but integration is a bit awkward when you just want to chill. That said SVP is nice for 30 fps youtube videos on slower connections or just videos without a high-quality 60hz sou

This is a great resource, thanks for sharing! I'd be interested to hear what kind of experience people are having with these frameworks in production.

Will scikit learn and pandas work without issue as well? Keen to try PyPy once I can run a typical data science stack.

Arguably computer graphics are the best candidate since many engines already have a velocity buffer for effects like temporal anti-aliasing and motion blur... would need API integration though. My hunch is motion interpolation is preferred

A bit off topic but I've been thinking there has to be a better way of handling this at the LCD controller level here... Currently, a 60hz screen isn't perfect and pixel overdrive will be used to reduce motion blur. In effect, the

There is a lot of data science work even in the low thousands of samples. Arguably most of the work will be on medium size data.

Technically every hypothesis that fits our data should get a little weight, plus our best available models of the universe show there should be billions of planets as habitable as ours. That is evidence in the abstract sense and we currentl
