USPS I think from a branding perspectives wants to be compared to retail shipping and not come across and some stuffy/slow bureaucratic agency, even though they totally are.


They’re a lot more functional than UPS or FedEx.


Seems like it would be a waste of money as many students can afford it, Stanford's model of generous, guaranteed scholarships makes more sense to me.


The article links a source and says "In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%"


The real problem with the article is that it's conflating two things: the absolute rate of survival for cardiac arrest after CPR, and the relative rate of survival for cardiac arrest after CPR (versus doing nothing).

> In real life, people similarly believe that survival after CPR is over 75%.

I'm just a medically ignorant rando, my naive guess was that people survive cardiac arrest without intervention 30% of the time (per the article, the actual rate is 7.6%). Unless you measure people's beliefs about this, you won't be able to determine whether 75% is a good rate or a bad one.

Apparently bystander initiated CPR, out of the hospital, increases those odds to 10%. That means that a third more people will survive if bystanders initiate CPR. That seems ... really good to me? In the hospital, survival after CPR goes up to 17%, which is an increase of 2.2 times! It's actually pretty comparable to someone having naive guesses of 75% CPR survival vs 30% without CPR. (My actual guess was that CPR made a difference about 20% of the time, so all these numbers are way better than that.)


While I do believe LLMs can perform some reasoning, I'm not sure this is the best example as all the reasoning you would ever need for Minecraft is well contained in the data set used to train it. A lot has been written about minecraft.

To me, it would be more convincing if they developed an enterly new game with somewhat novel and arbitrary rules and saw if the embodied agent could learn this game.


I don't think the score necessarily reflects the strength of the case. Particularly weak cases are dismissed or handled in lower courts with appeals dismissed.

Second, the court's makeup is politically decided

Third, the court has in the past ( roe v wade ) chosen to be unanimous when reports say internally there was some dissenters.


Roe v. Wade was 7-2, not 9-0.


There's a bit of irony with this thread I think but this was Minix's creator's viewpoint as well:

https://www.cs.vu.nl/~ast/Publications/Papers/computer-2006a...


I always saw Minix3 was as a companion to the "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation 3/e by Andrew S" book which was in 2006. Probably you were only ever going to run it in a virtual machine. More of an "educational" kernel.


Not gonna go hunt for the link right now, but I think Minix 3 was intended to be more industrially applicable than it's predecessors: there's a talk somewhere where Tanenbaum talked about the need for a more fault tolerant kernel in all sorts of applications, and I think he got a grant from some European institution for that purpose.


> More of an "educational" kernel.

If you are writing this on an intel CPU, you are likely running minix3 right now.

It's not not educational, but it's not the primary goal compared to earlier versions.


Not necessarily. You can turn off vPro and don't use Intel based network chips, so the management engine is disabled on the hardware level.


Hence, "Likely". Especially so if you are of the opinion that it's only educational.


I have done this before, which is pretty simple because ssh is basically always available:

    ssh -R \*:8080:localhost:80 -N root@example.com


Why not ask Github?

I sent a mail an hour ago to the author of the article. There is no "answer I don't like", if I'm not allowed to do it, then so be it.

Please don't assume things when you don't know the person.


The author could be in a different timezone, so don't get overly disappointed unless you haven't heard back from them in a few days. :)


I consider "no response" to be a negative answer by default :)


There is also food stamps (SNAP) which is meant to be supplemental, but technically speaking is enough to survive off of if you do not have any income.
