Doesn't cancelling these programs half-way through just ensure that they don't do anything? It might be a sunk cost fallacy, but if you're 80% of the way to fulfill this contract and it is canceled, you're not exactly saving the 20%. It would seem that they're just wasting the 80%

I don't get your self driving car point. It's just an analogy, or do you believe the government should be buying/using self driving cars?

I am also not sure if grocery delivery is as big of a problem as we are talking about? Does the government even provide grocery delivery?

Ideologically, it seems like Republicans or Libertarians oppose the federal government generally. Wouldn't it make sense for there to be less of them wanting to work for the government?

I'd imagine you wouldn't find an abundance of pacifists working in the military either

Eh, not necessarily. Inflation will eventually reduce the effective principal amount over time and you would stop feeling the effect of any interest

This is almost exactly how those people who made the failed Titanic submarines talked

Other way around. Mexico naturally has a yellow tint, so you apply a purple hue to cancel it out.

In tech, you get absurd salaries that mean even if you get laid off, you would still take home a lot more than your average government employee.

The number one attraction for working for the government is stability, and that's baked into the salary.

If you want to attract skilled workers to work for the government, have the same experiences getting laid off, and get paid less, they're just going to turn to private industry.

Or is this slicing the dog in half?

I'm curious if there's any good resources on this, but I've noticed including the conversation context makes the responses drastically worse quality in my experience. It's gotten to a point whe

It does seem like they use darker/lighter shades instead of redder/greener/bluer at the same intensity but I don't have the means to check if that's true

Is there a problem with that or were the interviewers just being stubborn?

Yea still absolutely unreasonable, but it's the only way it even makes sense for me

>I was talking to a tenured/post-doc/professor...

To be fair, in all of industry, academia, and politics this stuff happens. The leaders, CEOs, and presidents rarely have any knowledge of the technical matters at all and will BS their way to conclusions in the same way.

Desmos completely founded my understanding of how many things in digital signal processing work. For example convolution or time delays

It's also worth checking out the project that the creator uses it in: https://github.com/IQEngine/IQEngine

The only thing I can think of is they were fielding for them to say "that's not possible" and push back, potentially as a way to gauge if they would reject unreasonable client expectations or something.

Don't these algorithms use significant compute and lots of data (not just from you, from other people, too)?

It seems like it'd be difficult to just run up an algorithm on a local server, though I'm not sure if that's where you're suggesting

As much criticism as they get, they are at least less opaque than the big corporate media guys who are making movies, TV, and news.

This isn't a liberal thing. There are tons of conservative echo chambers. Twitter has just now pushed away the liberal echo chamber side of things, so liberals are leaving. Everyone makes their own Twitter communities depending on what pages they follow.

There are image links to NSFW content

Bundles are a nice addition that helps with this as well

Thankfully, the SAT no longer deducts points for wrong answers. But I agree, there's a big difference between testing and doing really great work.

I'm somewhat on the other end of this, where I excelled in school, graduated valedictorian, but didn't gain any meaningful experience with projects and such and had poor leadership skills all around.

Couldn't you do pixels per relative inch though? Not sure what the degree adds to it

It's a workaround, but why not use email filters for this?

This is really what I have never understood about Kalman Filters. As to how you pick Q and R. Do you just adjust them until the result looks right? How does that end up working for anything not completely over-fit?

For example, if I'm tracking birds from video footage, I might choose a certain Q, but depending on the time of day the noise statistics might change. What do you do then?

The first example of tracking, is this the same thing as dead reckoning? I've always been confused on the term "tracking" since it is used a lot in common speech, but seems to mean some specific type of 'tracking'

You are lucky. This has been an issue with many switch owners. Nintendo, at this point, seems to have acknowledged it and will fix or replace joycons (potentially outside of warranty)

How is that possible?

Thanks, I missed that 60 GWh figure. I got confused because the quotes around the statement, so I looked it up and couldn't find a quote. I realize now that he's quoting himself making that statement (and it's quite accurate)

I am surprised that, somehow, the statistic didn't change from GPT-2-era to GPT-4. Did GPUs really get that much more efficient? Or that study must have some problems

By TFA do you mean the author of the article? It seems to be using an outdated [and incorrect] claim (as far as I know, GPT-4 has no note of taking 200 flights of energy to train), arguing against it saying that those numbers are especially small, when they are potentially significantly larger.
