Brought an inactive home security system onto Home Assistant using the below repository, so I can track everything from smoke alarms to motion, doors, and windows. I swear there's a niche business opportunity in retrofitting all these

If I recall, Hertz requires 80% which is still terrible, considering the low range of some of their vehicles and that DC fast charging above 80% gets much slower against all that voltage pressure. So you can double your total charging time

I feel you're onto something, and like others on the thread, I've got too many anecdotal observations of service providers blatantly being in-your-face apathetic in the US vs, say, Japan where even if forced by convention, people

The way I think of this for some Asian languages is that Japanese and Korean are like English and Dutch, while Mandarin is like one of the Romance languages (e.g., Mandarin is to Cantonese as Spanish is to French). The three have an easier

Not that this holds up to scrutiny, and there are certainly issues with fungibility of lives and money, but let's say the value of a life in the US is $10 million. $10 billion in fraud is 1,000 lives claimed. The sentence could have be

This is expected, right? It would be surprising if something as general as GPT-4V was trained on a diverse and nuanced set of radiology images, vs say, a traditional CNN trained and refined for particular detection of specific diseases. It

Assuming some thought was given here, I wonder if the Mandarin Chinese used by Yueh in the first movie was meant to be movie magic like with the use of English, or was there a conscious decision to keep it completely frozen over the millenn

Hypothetically speaking, ML could be most valuable if the results are counter-intuitive but actually right, for instance if there is some obscure rule it correctly cites where the car with the head-start handicap always wins in the case of

Perhaps worth pointing out that the big direction depends on each jurisdiction's guidelines for claiming range. The EPA in the US and Canada seems closest to reality, while the long range version in Germany still shows 533km/331mi

It's impressive how well these estimates work, given the outsized impact many of these factors can have. These things are more negligible in an ICE as the denominator of energy stored in a gasoline tank is 4-5 times more than an EV. I

For English, I think it's equal to a general "go/do it" cheer. E.g., "Let's go!" to cheer for a team, and "You can do it!" when talking to a single person or a few people. And just as shallow or

True! This is well outside of the original point, but Beijing and Tianjin are interesting cases and perhaps useful for regional aggregates because they are essentially black holes that have taken GDP and capital out of their surrounding are

Just a minor nit on the provinces, you excluded Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai which have province level status and almost 60 million in population combined, close to Thailand's 70 million, and a weighted average HDI of 0.87. Heterogen

Following CAR-T studies earlier from Novartis, I recall that cytokine release as an adverse event was also highly predictive of the treatment's efficacy. So terrible as it is, it's also an indication of the immune system at work.

Not to make it sound hopeless, but Old Chinese is lossy because it tended to favor conciseness at the expense of unambiguous clarity. There is no total truth and a bit of subjective interpretation is required. 持而盈之 for instance is "持=h

Yeah, not a good example. Written vernacular mandarin started in the Ming dynasty and more or less was forcefully promoted in the Qing and later Republic of China as _the_ way to write Chinese, meaning other dialects lost out on developing
