I launched what was ostensibly a web analytics platform that was just an Google Sheet we shared with partners attached to a JavaScript snippet for webpages. Very lean and unusual for Google. But we had to use internal tools and libraries to ensure this tiny tool was “Google Scale” and were subject to company-wide deployment restrictions as well as PR-sensitive launch dates that took what was mocked up internally as a JavaScript MVP by one of our engineers in 1 week almost 10 months to launch formally and with the exact same shit MVP Google Sheets interface. This was a “no red tape” project where execs cleared a path as best they could.
A better study would be to place an unlikely but detection worthy artifact into the image. Say, you’re looking for a broken bone and you put a rare disease in an unrelated part of the body but visible in the radiograph. Bet the clinicians spot it. Because in the real world, this is how things get caught. But I’d love to know the missed detection rate.
I remember when I was younger, people with international family often would take 3-4 week trips to visit. That was because it was so expensive and painful to go, and there were so many people to visit when you went, and infrastructure there wasn't great at "popping over" for day visits to each of these places. Plus, it was often a once in two-four year visit to see an entire side (or all) of your family. So these kids would just pop out of school for this extended period. Longest I remember was almost 2 months. Usually the parents worked out a deal with the school and brought a bunch of work to be done on the trip, with an exam or makeups when they returned. I was one of these kids, and it sucked. But it was possible with the right support structure. I think when people abscond with no thought to the continued education, that's a huge problem.
Oh! This is such a lightbulb comment for me. I distinctly remember growing up with the wobbly side springs, and then after the motor died switching to a “screw driven” system and those going away. Ever since I’ve only seen the “screw driven” ones and when I hear stories about garage door springs I wonder why I’ve never seen them… Now I know where the springs on my current garage door are.
Carbs are vital for nutrient partitioning and uptake and this is why every serious athlete manipulates carb feeding, and bodybuilders especially play with insulin, etc. People were always mixing maltodextrin into their intra and post workout refeeds, and if a normal person tried eating the white rice portions bodybuilders and strength athletes eat alongside their other macros they’d be shocked.
This is like how regular Gatorade with sugar took a heel turn when it tried to go mainstream “electrolytes healthy, sugar bad” despite the sugar being necessary for optimal replenishment as carbs aids electrolyte uptake in the gut and the sugar free versions are far less effective at rehydration [0].
Olestra! I ate a whole bag of the Lay’s with Olean as a kid. They had the audacity to say that they assumed that people would only eat a handful at a time. Of near zero calorie potato chips that taste like potato chips…
Orlistat. Look at Alli — very available to buy. A very common side effect is steatorrhea. Oily leakage/poops. But not like, “oops I gotta run to the bathroom” but like, a tiny bear down and oil shoots out your bum. There is a clear warning on it about malabsorption as well of fat soluble vitamins.
I guess that’s why investors bake in protection against singles and doubles.
Basically, give me my market returns if you’re not going to hit a homer so that I don’t need to keep shoveling cash and can spend my time and money on the remaining at bats.
I’d argue the internet is much bigger to date. In the future, who knows — anything getting closer to AGI would be bigger possibly but still built on the backbone of computers and the internet.
I second this request. Specifically, for a lot of applications, native-language "good enough" might not suffice (a dental office with English speaking employees and predominantly English speaking customers), but between a stilted conversation with a non-native speaker (broken English to English v. slightly incorrect native language to their native language), there might be more tolerance for some of the hiccups that AI has. As in, I might get more information in a poor conversation in a person's native language than us trying to communicate in their poor English.
I think the extent to which writers have to get creative in finding sources for novel pieces is taken for granted. I did not realize how tactical and painstaking the process is to create the content that I casually skim and enjoy. So I strengthened my appreciation of the process
Historically ML is a sub field within the study of AI. So are a lot of even more mundane techniques. So, if the hit word to describe things is AI, and the shoe fits, wear it!
I’d be curious what legalizing weed has done to the number of people who tried it for the first time or went from non use to occasional use. I say this because the addiction/safety/outcome of many of these “harder” drugs means that a short dalliance could lead to faster addiction etc. There would be a knock on societal effect if there was an uptick in use, and NA etc are not that effective %wise for people to hop-on hop-off. By this measure, alcohol is just as bad, and while prohibition didn’t stop the flow for those seeking it and increased the safety risks from bootlegging, I wonder if a better example is to look at a country with strict historical prohibition which relaxed those rules (can’t think of an example).
FB is still surprisingly strong in growing markets. But that translating to business means those markets see drastic increases in spending power, which we’ve been awaiting for many years. It’s up, but nowhere near parity with western markets.
I’m pretty sure he walked into a real tourney and took gold. He’s also at least a blue belt in bjj, which means he’s competent [0]. Also, being terrifying doesn’t mean much if you can’t back it up, and vice versa. I’m curious, what martial art have you taught for 30 years that informs your opinion?
The wheel in FSD is hard to take control over and when you do it goes absolutely slack leading to an overcorrection. Even after having my car for years it still does a wiggle when this happens. Not sure if that’s what you’re saying shouldn’t happen. Doesn’t happen with my CRVs LKAS
Uhhh, when the deal is for a $55bn package, an executive should pay a lawyer to make sure that that sentence is included, and ideally that it’s truthful if included. Delaware is the most shareholder friendly state for business and has so much clear precedence it makes operating a business easy. If you fail at that basic level of governance, it is either idiocy or malfeasance. Can’t have it both ways.
Also, nobody serious is talking about moving companies out of Delaware. Elon is tweeting about it.
Well, when I’m doing something and I need a timer, especially cooking and my hands are occupied or dirty, rummaging for a timer to manually set makes no sense when I should have a voice assistant on my wrist/in earshot.
I'm just waiting for Siri to reliably set timers when I'm cooking. Between my watch and my phone, it's a damn nightmare to actually do the most basic thing with what should be a ubiquitous AI platform. They've had ages to make it better and some great minds in their employ, and yet they've really not done much. That said, if and when they do, they have immediate distribution and proof points to sell oodles more of their AI-enabled products and wearables...
I actually agree with the substance of this comment, but want to point out that the word "startup" doesn't apply here. Presto has been around since 2008, when it was selling table side tablets to restaurants. After years playing around in that market, they did a SPAC IPO and then did a fast and hard pivot into becoming an AI automation play. Nonetheless, they saw an opportunity and went after it quickly. And the fact is, it did move the needle for a lot of these restaurants. I spoke with an owner of a few Checkers stores who was talking about how excited they were to have this offering, not just to replace workers, but because they often had no-shows and absences that would completely ruin their daily operations, and offloading one role could mean that their teams could be more resilient.
If you’ve ever had pancreatitis you can’t take this (me) because it increases overall risk of having an episode. If you’re unlucky like me and have a predisposition for pancreatitis or gallbladder issues, this can push you over the edge into the worst pain of your life and possible life threatening complications. But the percentage of folks at risk is relatively low so this is not a concern for most. Heavy alcohol consumption is a leading cause of pancreatitis so for folks with AUD and diabetes, if this cuts down both diabetes and the causal factor (drinking), maybe it’s a net positive if they’ve never had pancreatitis before. Unfortunately severe pancreatitis increases the risk of Type 2 and 3 diabetes and unfortunately this great treatment won’t be available.
Do you really think kids in school sit silently and motionless in class for several hours? I’d invite you to sample any classroom to test that hypothesis. There are many reasons to suppose schools aren’t the best for socialization, but that’s not it.
1) isn’t being entirely fair. MDs or any other practitioner are generally restricted by what they can bill insurance since only a minority of patients opt for concierge care. So if insurance allows for “X minutes for Y service”, that’s what they generally do in most “eat what you kill” practices (which is most). Some will go above and beyond, but that’s to their detriment. Insurance billing generally makes care “billability”-centric.
You need a sprint specific coach. Most coaches and clubs you’ll find start at middle distance and go up in distances they train. While you’ll learn basic drills that sprinters also do, the details, cues, form etc will be different, and the training program will be very different. It will involve a lot more plyometrics, more drills, and shorter distances. So you’ll see improvements if you’ve never run before training for mid distance+, but to eke out maximal sprint performance from form, you’ll plateau and also have poor sprinting mechanics. Also, I see some advice about lifting weights. Great adjunct to sprinting, but you need to learn proper sprint mechanics and training to see carryover (see: the number of big number lifters who can’t sprint worth crap v. 14 y/os who can dust them and have never seen a weight but have trained formally).
In South Asia/diaspora/influenced cuisines, mutton = goat. This is a good tip to keep in mind for South Asian halal butchers too. Mine in the US proudly sells mutton which is goat.
