Right but the “certain regions” were affluent metro areas, the control group was rural counties, and the timeframe was the Great Recession.
Even the study authors acknowledge the severe risk of the huge confounding variable.
No, arbitrary decisions would defeat the point of indexes.
But they can and do add systematic protections, like only buying based on the free float to avoid a short squeeze.

(Anna's Archive moves, so you won't see it by looking at the domain history in this post.)
Thanks. Is it not annoying to play Civ with a touchpad vs a mouse? Or is this just a convenience for situations where you can’t use a mouse?
Can anyone share their experience enjoying the two pads they put on their controllers?
I have a Steam Deck and love it, but the only experience I have with those pads is “dammit I accidentally touched the pad again.” If I want a mouse, I just connect a Bluetooth mouse.
I thought for sure everyone knew it was a flop and we’d never see it again, but obviously that’s not right since they are back. What am I missing?
The player-coach analogy is very common in role definitions, and it is real concept in sports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Player-coach
It can both be true that (1) most of the revenue and operations focus is on the core airline and (2) most of the profit and valuation is driven by the loyalty program.
This is true for American Airlines: https://viewfromthewing.com/new-report-says-aadvantage-is-wo...
The other answer (staff who use Westlaw) is right, but critically this is the point of adversarial litigation. The justice system doesn't hang on that judge finding the precedent; it assumes that the highly motivated lawyers on either side will find the relevant precedent that helps their case and highlight it for the judge.
That is common law, but many jurisdictions have specific regulations related to this. E.g.: https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2017/04/28/US-Pr...
I don't know whether "usually" is accurate though; it may be that common law prevails as you say in most transactions despite the states with regulations.
I have never played it, but I could imagine a scoring mechanism that would make it interesting, and perhaps is implied by the rules:
The score value starts at 1. Every additional "check" multiplies the score value by 2 (so 2, 4, 8, 16...). The first player to say "checkmate" receives the score. Track your summed score between games; the player with the highest overall score at any given time is "winning."
Perhaps also worth noting that you generally shake the die before releasing it. Thus even if you drop it straight down through a vacuum, you would have done the center-of-mass-impacted-tumbling in your hands first.
...is that really the story? It feels like these are two related, but different things.
Yes but then I think they should leave the header at the top of the page. If I need it I'll scroll all the way back up! Don't make it randomly re-appear and cover the text I wanted to see because I decided to re-read that last paragraph.
Seems like a lot of people are dunking on this comment with anecdata.
Thankfully there is real data if we want to know how microwaves are used. Survey below says they are used a bit more than ovens, but half as much as cooktops/stoves. Varies by cohort and meal.

I disagree. If you focus on holding the software creators to account in lieu of the humans in the loop, the we only reinforce the behavior of offloading thinking to the system.
If I am a cop in another jurisdiction and I see that in this case of error, the facial recognition company was held to account but not the police or municipality, I will be more likely to blindly trust the software assuming that they either patched it or will take responsibility.
We should demand accountability for both.
I think the point is that we don't have evidence that this actually happened from anyone other than Codewall.
ShadowBroker is a real-time, full-spectrum geospatial intelligence dashboard
You might consider changing this to a more accurate headline, like "Air and Space domain awareness."
"Full spectrum Geospatial intelligence" most commonly refers to full color satellite photos (sometimes including near infrared).
In the Geospatial world, "spectrum" almost always takes on its literal meaning - the spectrum of light. And "Geospatial intelligence" refers to intelligence gathered from Geospatial platforms, not intelligence about the locations of those platforms.
I would say it's more like enjoying a song so much that you choose to listen to a cover of that song.
What a time to be alive: Companies post roles that don't exist to interview candidates who don't plan to switch.
There are tons of examples of this. Heck, even Tetris has procedural generation. I think this argument was a mistake.
The “gambled his life savings” framing in the article is very hyperbolic.
He gambled $300K from his extra savings outside his retirement accounts, and he hedged significantly to reduce downside risk.
there is no single correct answer
I think we all mostly agree that there is a single correct answer, and that is why this discussion exists in the first place.
How did the question become “which corporate device can I install OpenClaw on?” Who is doing that?
It seems like the model became paranoid. For the past few hours, it has been classifying almost all inbound mail as "hackmyclaw attack."[0]
Messages that earlier in the process would likely have been classified as "friendly hello" (scroll down) now seem to be classified as "unknown" or "social engineering."
The prompt engineering you need to do in this context is probably different than what you would need to do in another context (where the inbox isn't being hammered with phishing attempts).

It’s a weirdly specific thing to say multiple times.
This article is mostly about this discussion on hn: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46978710
Exactly. If you “plateau” on the y axis you increase model capability to infinity in no time.
That’s among the most artistic SVGs I’ve ever seen, period.
I think he believe in a plateau on the y axis instead of the x axis… which is AGI.
