multiple children in my area have died due to being hit by distracted drivers driving near schools. One incident resulted in 2 children being dragged 60 yards. Here's a snippet from an article about the death I was referencing:
> The woman told police she was “eating yogurt” before she turned onto the road and that she was late for an appointment. She said she handed her phone to her son and asked him to make a call “but could not remember if she had held it so face recognition could … open the phone,” according to the probable cause statement.
> The police investigation found that she was traveling 50 mph in a 40 mph zone when she hit the boys. She told police she didn’t realize she had hit anything until she saw the boys in her rearview mirror.
The Waymo report is being generous in comparing to a fully-attentive driver. I'm a bit annoyed at the headline choice here (from OP and the original journalist) as it is fully burying the lede.
I highly doubt professional or even amateur quizzers wouldn't use flashcards. Especially armed with a SRS algo, it would be the most efficient way to learn to quickly recall the type of info needed for quiz bowls
Roger Craig famously used Anki and was one of the top jeopardy players for a while, and I believe he got some push back from the likes of Jennings and others who thought flash cards were cheap and the only right way to do trivia is "naturally", by just reading a bunch of random shit all the time.
I did 10k reviews. Admittedly, very streakily - so spurts intense study for 2-3 months than several months off - I think about 2.5 spurts total. I felt pretty wrung out after. 51k is a ton, congrats!
I would suggest editing the title to include “without a valid H-1B visa stamp”
> we strongly recommend that employees without a valid H-1B visa stamp avoid international travel for now,” the Fragomen memo reportedly said.
This isn’t really a change from previous years (this is different from September when companies were having their employees emergency-fly back to the US as they didn’t know if even valid H-1B visa holders would be let back in).
You seem more familiar with the space than I am so I figured I'd ask - do you think this would be addressed with the proposed compliance framework AIUC-1? The article mentioned the startup behind it (Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company). I don't know enough about AI usage or implementation to be able to evaluate if the proposed framework would actually make AI usage more dependable but I could see insurance companies requiring (AIUC-1 or other)-compliance for coverage
very interesting! This feels like one of the most effective possible tools in the "fight" against AI - insurance companies have a lot of sway and it says a lot that several large companies are looking into carving out exclusions for AI usage.
Agreed. This is the firewall rule against the 'wild west' climate of AI that I would have expected to kick in much earlier than this; and I wonder if any presidential edict can brute-force past this obstacle.
Same, I would love this as a quirky detective-type series. There's something very adorable about the man buying himself a bright green parrot to comfort himself that he must not be very good at his job if he can't convince someone to leave an enema-cult (I swear, that reads like something out of some author I love but I can't think of the name). But also the amount of love and empathy it'd take to do this kind of work, and also almost private-investigator-type scheming (taking the tour through the religious library and passing by the eastern spirituality section to establish a common ground and level of trust) just adds so many layers
I'd be interested in how you managed the impact to your vision, any particular technology improvements you made? My dad had a stroked over the summer and lost vision on his right side - he's older but still works at a computer and is pretty particular about workflows so I don't want to muddle with what works for him too much.
Hi! I hope your dad gets better soon. My vision got better over 3 months, then more slowly over a year. I keep a "small" blind spot in my field of view (where I can hide my hand).
I didn't need more management of this condition but rest.
I remember the first months, trees felt exhausting to look at because of their complexity, and I couldn't watch an action movie because it felt too intense.
