No they are not. I've asked that question to quite a few well-published economists studying innovation and the off-the-record answer is always: > Patents are an extremely noisy and biased measure of innovation; conflate innovation w

TBF the College Parks location is by far the most important one; the most visited one; and the one that holds the most interesting stuff. Never met anyone who went to the Kansas one or whatever

I wish! The tier-based limits are still the same! At least it's more expensive now so I guess I will be able to hop to the next tier sooner? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck using 2.5 for anything non-trivial. I have about 500,000 news articles I am parsing. OpenAI models work well but found Gemini had fewer mistakes. Problem is; they give me a terrible 10k RPD limit. To increase to the next tier, the

Any sense on how PDF.js compares against other tools such as pdfminer?

You really don't need many users to flag a post. Get five users constantly flagging anything that makes Trump look bad (and a complicit mod that doesn't undo this) and that's all you need.

It would be really interesting to see the list of people who flag these news. At this point, I mostly browse HN by clicking on COMMENTS so I can see the actual stories that got flagged (that always have to do about democracy being eroded by

Any advice? Figured maintenance would be annoying (utilities, making sure things that break down get fixed, etc). Also, did you go for a big bank (Santander BBVA etc) or smaller one? Gracias!

By any chance, would it be possible to share the PDF? I haven't heard shipibo language in a long while, and am quite curious about it.

Just file a complaint with the CFPB. They are incredibly useful and will contact Stripe directly and basically be your onbudsman.

This will probably get flagged, but if you read this, spent a few minutes trying to understand the gravity of this specific EO. Every federal employee even in independent agents must and will jump when Trump says so. Even if he asks them to

Because people in independent agencies are by act protected from exactly these things. Think for a bit, why were they not just called "agencies"? And for all the stupidity of congress, if the fail to protect against a self-coup,

This is what ChatGPT "thought" about your comment: ``` - Misses the point of the original comment. - Overly pedantic instead of engaging with the sentiment. - Unclear analogy (PRC as a continuation of the Shang Dynasty). - Appears

Agreed. Why so many heli's to McClean? Are they just too stingy to pay the I66 toll in the afternoon?

This is crazy. Why would Spain or Colombia have to see Gulf of USA together with the actual name?

Being in academia (or very adjacent to it), there are two types of BlueSky users: 1) The ones that moved because of ideological reasons 2) The ones that moved b/c Twitter became a desolate hellscape. I'm closer to (2) than to (1),

Any suggested customizations or additional extensions? I use FF at the office but mostly Chrome at home, and the transition might be a bit painful.

So sad that Blackstone bought ancestry.. newspapers.com is a really nice tool for researchers (and most things that get touched by PE end up enshittified)

Perú has a field at like 5000 meters that requires ten hours of bus drive to get there. Maybe we will force teams to do that? Or maybe Colombia will require them to play in the jungle? Or Argentina will go back to giving you food that makes

I think he is talking about the 2024 arxiv paper by some netflix (?) researchers that say that it's best not to normalize the dot products (so instead of cosine similarity you just have a dot product). For most commercial embeddings (o
