This sounds to me like you're extrapolating your own experience and generalizing it to the whole population, when in truth you are likely to be an outlier: most kids do fine in school (and always have), and most home schooled people find it harder to contribute meaningfully to society (due to less exposure to socialization opportunities and poorer education).
> There is no “consensus” in the scientific method.
But there is consensus on how to use the scientific method, and sometimes the evidence accumulated with that method mostly agree with a specific part of the hypothesis space, in which case the consensus is to call that part the consensus
In terms of air quality sensors, what really made a difference for me was getting a CO2 sensor. "Fresh air" (low CO2) behaves way different than what j was taught. I live in a newly constructed building, which apparently is almost hermetically sealed. And we have no AC, since we're in Europe. As a result, air quality (in terms of co2) goes downhill unexpectedly FAST. And opening the windows for 5 to let in fresh air is definitely not enough to restore quality to sensible levels. EU norms say that public building should have less than 800ppm CO2, as anything above might affect cognitive abilities. However, reaching that level is almost impossible without constantly cracking the window (or an AC). I'd never have expected this....
FYI, I've been using ublock origin with Firefox on android for years and never encountered the bug you're talking about, so it might be rooted in something else. I'm using a pixel 6 ( and a pixel 3 before that), in case that's relevant
Just as a counterpoint: this very much depends. I probably spent at least a year (probably more) of my PhD (in Europe) just teaching a class I built up from the ground up myself. I barely got any research done the first year I gave that class, and every subsequent year it still took a large chunk of my time. It's part of the reason I spent a total of 7 years doing a PhD (which is long, considering I already had an MSc), during 5 of which I taught my class, and grew it from 10 students in the first year to 200 in my last. But I don't consider that time wasted. I had a blast and found that teaching helped me understand the fundamentals of my fields at an extremely deep level that I'd never reached otherwise. It didn't improve my research output, but I feel that the soft skills and understanding of fundamentals was a real advantage. My future career also didn't suffer, I'm now working as researcher at a FAANG AI lab.
This does not at all sound how all LLMs I know work. Eg no model the size of ChatGPT should need grammar correction. Having that run client side sounds even more weird. Where did you take this information from?
Just being pedantic here, but: if we take your approach to the extreme, we would only ever pick the one thing that maximizes joy. Eg say one week trips above are the coolest thing you can think of. then you'd compare any potential purchase against it, and it would fall short. So you'd end upmnever buying anything (except tickets for one week trips). Don't get me wrong, your strategy sounds sound, I'm just saying that it's too greedy of an algorithm to apply it thoroughly. A slightly improved strategy would be to instead think of marginal prices: how much would I be willing to pay for X, instead of another piece of Y. Ie, if you already had 10 one week trips this year, you'd not be willing to spend as much for #11 than you'd be willing to spend to go from from 0 to 1 trips or 1 to 2
Interesting approach. Aren't you worried that chatgpt is feeding you bullshit without you noticing? I'd imagine chatgpt read as much science fiction content as science one, so there's no way to know if it tells the truth or hallucinations. How do you deal with that?
> I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content
I found that at least for myself, this was just a lie I kept telling myself. HN contains almost zero actionable content, and I've not been an epsilon better off for reading it. I come to see it as infotainment.
As you'd be recording all of your conversations, this is illegal under some legislations, unless all your conversation partners agree with being recorded/their convos being stored.
Slightly off topic, but: i noticed more and more rust frameworks using async. I was under the impression that most of the time async makes programming much harder, while increasing peak performance. But is that trade off worth it for most people?
I can't follow the author. Are they saying that this self talk is actually good for them, or bad? It sounds like he was really kind to themselves, yet the sueounsing text implies these were actually examples of "not loving oneself"
> the boy found peace in his formative years crawling among the debris and refuse on the outskirts of post-blitzkrieg Manchester.
As far as I know, Hitler never tried to take England in a blitzkrieg. It seems like the author just wanted to use a hip word, but they completely lost my interest with that mistake
The question here is whether option 2 is implemented on the edge device (which in turn makes it more likely that someone can steal your identity) or goes over a government owned server (which means the government could soy on you)
It regularly gets gamed very hard. You can sell old high karma accounts for quite a lot of money, because those are best for such things. It's also a thin line between astroturfing and fill on spamming products. But I have no doubts that some reviews on Reddit are payed for.
> Didn't know it then, and doubt that teacher has any idea, but it changed the course of my life.
Reach out to him and let him know. It's these kinds of feedback that can really, really make a person's day, and it's what every engaged teacher dreams of/works for.
Whoa, that's a lot of super weird assumptions you're making. Fwiw, neither myself nor any other parent i ever met even gets in the remote vicinity of the picture you're painting. It sounds to me like you just have shitty parent-friends in your bubble? But rest assured that there a legion of other parents out there who neither got kids because they're afraid to die alone nor want to force their own wishes and life goals onto them.
In my experience, kids can be exhausting at times, and take a lot of dedication and time that you could otherwise spend on selfish persuits, so having kids for selfish reasons sounds insanely misguided to me. It's rather that despite all those sacrifices, kids enrich your life, and they allow tremendous opportunity for self-growth and a host of experiences that are hard to replicate otherwise.
Are you me? I have almost the exact same build as discussed in the post, and I am super annoyed with how loud the disks are. I have a cronjob that puts them to sleep every night(the NAS is in my bedroom)... For some weird reason they never stop spinning otherwise.
It's weird in hindsight that we didn't develop a vaccine against monkeypox, if it still can be deadly. (Or did we and I am misinformed?) I guess now that we have outbreaks all over the world, it's probably too late to start another COVID like effort.
The ethics section is a tacked on thing which is required by some large ML conferences. They're essentially a PR stunt. No ML researcher i know cares about it, or devotes more than the 5 minutes it takes to write some platitudes to the task. There are simply no incentives to write this properly. And quite frankly, i don't think there should be. We are educated, paid and motivated to push the boundaries of research, not to think about all potential fallout (which, let's face it, would usually require a whole additional paper for most meaningful contributions). I don't really see how we could change this.
Tldr: as a general rule you can ignore the ethics section of ML papers.
I always assumed spam filtering is a solved problem, imnevernhad any issues with eg protonmail once I've trained it on a significant body (eg all my current spam). Im curious, how many positive/negative samples have you used/how much time have you given the system to adapt?
I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound credible. You wouldn't let potential newbies write an important part of your infra. Plus a credible school has more than enough software developers. Might it have been the other way around, that the people who actually wrote the system have designed assignments that are based on their experience? That's something I sometimes did when I held classes: nothing gets you closer to a realistic real-world practice problem than the one you just solved yourself
