all it should take is a system of valves,

That would work, but it's not how to works apparently. According to this veritasium video, it's because of "negative pressure" aka tension.

I recommend watching, I think it's one of the best veritasium Dereck has ever produced.

Blame the consumers.

The consumer is not a single person, and until we (the consumers) all coordinate, our individual incentive is to not pay (Classical prisoner dilemma).

So "voting with your wallet" doesn't maximize your personal interest.

There's no "True" to an LLM, just how probable tokens are given previous context.

It may be enough: tool assisted LLMs already know when to use tools such as calculators or question answering systems when hallucinating an answer is likely to impact next token prediction error.

So next-token prediction error incentivize them to seek for true answers.

That doesn't guaranty anything of course, but if we were only interested in provably correct answers we would be working on theorem provers, not on LLMs

Surely reading/writing are useful skills that most people did not have before school was mandatory.

in "pixels wide" the word "wide" acts as a square root operator on the area and means "pixels^(-2)"

Did you meant "pixels^(1/2)"? I'm not sure what kind of units pixels^(-2) would be.

So many things in the IT world started as non-professional things by non-professional engineers. If you're a professional who lives off one of these things you should be glad that someone wanted to have fun at some point.

Let this HTTP code be a reminder of that.

Most disciplines in CS have done that one way or another.

It is probably good news, but to be fair land use and GHG emissions are not the same thing, especially given that fertilizers are involved.

It is very impressive, and better than anything I've seen before but think something is bit off with the swell. If I had to explain I would say that high frequency waves don't travel on top of low frequency waves the way they do in the video.

but then set up a website where that button keeps jumping away from your mouse for 20 minutes, while it's showing you uplifting messages why in fact, you should continue with the subscription. Still, only one click

Most laws can be misinterpreted, it doesn't necessarily mean they are useless.

over an 4.75-inch gap

every group chat has a n-1 group containing everyone except that annoying member. And if you think your chat doesn’t have such a group, oh boy, do I have some bad news for you.

There are more like 2^n - 1 subgroups, i.e. as many subgroups as the there can be. If you think you're safe because you're already part of one subgroup that complain about the people not included in this particular subgroup, I also have some bad news for you.

I don't know. If the case is not discussed in court, we will never know. This is why we should not blindly follow a will out of respect of the dead person, because there may be evidence this is just a mistake.

In respect for the dead person, we absolutely have to carry out their will.

We trust judges when they decide to send people to prison for decades, so I don't see why we shouldn't trust them if they decide that this will is probably a mistake.

I agree and I don't think it is specific to the world of entrepreneurs and/or social science experiments. If your target variable depends on a large number of correlated variables you are very unlikely to formulate the correct hypothesis by accident. This is why you need intuition or good judgement in science, just as much as in every thing else.

- The satellite will accomplish this [precision] by having the usual main Earth-measuring techniques co-located on board [satelite navigation, interferometry, laser ..] When used together, the ESA expects to be able to correct for biases inherent in each technique.

- An updated International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) will have immediate benefits on satellite-based systems, impacting Galileo-enabled applications in fields like aviation, traffic management, autonomous vehicles, positioning and navigation

- The space agency added that meteorology, natural hazard prediction, monitoring climate change effects, land management and surveying – as well as the study of gravitational and non-gravitational forces as fields – would also see benefits.

- ...

Soon we will be hearing of the global flattening.

The title is rather ambiguous: evidence that RTO mandates do not increase firm performance is not evidence that returning to office is useless.

we do not find significant changes in firm performance in terms of profitability and stock market valuation after the RTO mandates.

Implementing them in large industrial (or open source) code bases in a maintainable way -- and then actually maintaining that code -- is a different skillset, a different set of interestes,

You're making a very general point on how algorithm research and software development are two different things, which is of course true. However OP's question is genuine: a lot of research in OR is very practical, and researchers often hack solvers to demonstrate that whatever idea offers a benefit over existing solving techniques. There are no reason to believe that a good new idea like this one couldn't be demonstrated and incorporated into new solvers quickly (especially given the competition).

So the quoted sentence is indeed a bit mysterious. I think it just meant to avoid comment such as "if it's so good why isn't it used in cplex?".

Oh, indeed it is mentioned, i overlooked this part.

It even mentions Jupiter's moons later

It is not a coincidence, I reused the example to illustrate my point.

I am not a native speaker, but my feeling is that several can also be used to insist on non-uniqueness. E.g. "Most rich families own several cars" or "Jupiter has several moons" (= not one). I'm surprised that it is not mentioned in the article.

The size of these vehicles is certainly absurd, but flying packages with drones that consume most of their energy to fight gravity does not seem particularly efficient either, (e.g. compared to small road electric vehicles with the same payload, which would have its own practical problems).

Be careful with large numbers: 10^23 shoes would be roughly 854B shoes for every (~117B) human that have ever lived, that is about 14 million pairs of shoes per individual and per day. I am pretty sure there has never been a market for that many shoes.

Damn, it took me years to accept that dropping C-style or C++-style explicit memory management in favor of garbage collection was an overall improvement. And now we have to reuse and mutate objects instead of creating new ones because of it.

The convention exists because for most articles, publication year is an important piece of context. I'm not sure we have to blindly follow the convention when it isn't.

Yes and that is my point: most organizations will pretend they are human centered, because it is good PR. Hence my surprised reaction to GGP.

Do organizations really pretend they are not made of people? How/when?

Still, it is a rare event and he had a camera without the IR filter set up to capture this particular phenomenon. So, either a lot of luck or a lot of dedication.

I don't understand how does he knows where to point the camera at, before the event occurs?

Activations of individual neurons are hardly relevant, quoting Szegedy et al. from [1]

we find that there is no distinction between individual high level units and random linear combinations of high level units, according to various methods of unit analysis. It suggests that it is the space, rather than the individual units, that contains the semantic information in the high layers of neural networks.
