So you were able to think of a couple confounding factors off the top of your head, but you dismiss the idea that the researchers had considered those factors and controlled for it? Despite the fact that their full time job it is to think about things like that, and their careers are on the line if they embarrass themselves by disregarding something as obvious and trivial like that? Did you even read the original paper?

in my limited experience with horovod, horovod is most useful when youre running large clusters of workers/ps. in those situations, you typically have to manually find the appropriate balance of workers/ps. (otherwise youd run into blocking or network saturation issues.) horovod addresses this issue with their ring allreduce implementation.

I guess I need to read Dennett's book. He's clearly a smart guy, but the the idea that consciousness is an illusion seems self-refuting.

"I assert not-I"

"Observations show that observations are not real"

How does that work?
As an AI researcher who did a degree in philosophy, I think most of the things you mentioned are pretty irrelevant. How to build an AI with "feelings, sensations, etc" is indeed a mystery, but we don't need to aim for that, we just need to aim for intelligence, which can be defined without reference to consciousness or qualia. Similarly, if we can invent a working, fully automated Chinese room that passes the Turing Test, then whether or not it fits Searle's definition of "understanding" is a moot point (especially since his understanding of "understanding" is pretty weird).

More generally, although we should be heavily inspired by human intelligence when designing machine intelligence, it's a mistake to use the way humans think to define intelligence. Kuhn's account of scientific revolutions, for example, is primarily descriptive, not prescriptive. We can certainly imagine possible setups where science doesn't proceed like that, which may well be superior. Science isn't defined by revolutions, but by experimentally searching for the truth. In the same way, knowledge isn't defined by having a body, but by having beliefs which correspond with the state of the world.
That is quite literally the price you pay for convenience. In many cases, that's a very rational tradeoff - your time is better spent on developing and marketing your app than dealing with devops. If your Heroku bill is a relevant business problem, then you're probably grossly under-charging for your app.

I think the main competition for Heroku these days is AWS and GCP. The workflow for deploying directly to managed cloud services has improved drastically over the last few years, so you might not need the niceties that Heroku offer.
I think most Clojure developers will tell you that it is wise at first to just use Java libraries directly, if you can. Look at wrapper libraries to see how the author approached the Java interop, then do it yourself. You are more likely to attain something that is maintainable, flexible and appropriate for your individual style and needs than using what someone else built for the purpose of interop for their needs.
I think that's why socialist countries seem to take the attitude that we, as politicians, know what's good for you and you don't. So we will regulate you and put in laws to protect you while restricting your choices and freedom.

The truth is unacceptable to our modern society. We still live in a harsh world where we have to sacrifice some people for the good of the community.

Many critical traits like intelligence are largely inherited.

Once we focus on the nurture side the three key influencers are growing up with a father in the home, living in a safe community, and having plenty of entry level jobs that build skills.

Feminism has destroyed the first.

Acceptance of gang violence and thug behavior has destroyed the second.

Outsourcing and bringing in cheap migrant labor have destroyed the third.

Until we fix these three key areas the divide between rich and poor will only grow.

I understand what you are saying, since I too am upset about many issues being closed without being fixed. I come across them when doing searches for various problems with RN. It's the same with Flow, the Javascript type checker, only that there it seems like nobody from the dev team even cares about the Github repo and the huge list of open issues (hey, at least they don't close them all automatically by bot).

On the other hand, the commit history seems pretty active - and that's an understatement: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/commits/master (same for Flow)

I think the commit history says more than (auto-)closed issues. They may not share our priorities but they keep working on the project pretty actively.

Has there been a study addressing whether these clean rooms are completely counterproductive to their stated goal?

It seems intuitive to me that if you're maintaining such a clean room the only bacteria that are going to live there are ones hardy enough to survive in those extreme conditions, you're just going to be running an accidental breeding program for bacteria likely to survive on a spacecraft.

As opposed to just assembling all this stuff in a room open to the elements. It would then be completely inundated with bacteria, but none of them would have any selective advantage in being hardy. You could even feed them on purpose by spraying food for them everywhere.

Then when you launch the spacecraft those fat comfortable bacteria would all instantly die because vacuum isn't an environment that's anything like what they've had to deal with, unlike the hardy ones in the clean room, and the few survivors would have no time to develop hardiness. They'd all die within hours from launch.
“The day that I joined I had to sign a contract that basically said anything I created during or outside of company time is owned by ZeniMax.

No, this is a legitimate concern. Clauses like this should be illegal. What you do in your spare time is yours. What the hell, what are you, a slave? These clauses are there to disincentivize you doing things beside your work, so that your employer can take up even more room in your life. I would never sign such a contract.

In Kaohsiung, Taiwan, there's City Bikes (government-owned, docking) and OBikes (independent, dockless).

The City Bikes use the same iPass metro card. They're free for 30 mins. They have larger wheels so ride faster. I don't need to use cellular data or the latest app of the day in order to use them.

Both are popular, but neither have taken away from my favourite system - several cheap broken bikes I bought from scrapyards, which I park at metro stations and cannibalise for parts when I need them (e.g. I swapped out an inner tube last week; a tyre this week). Many bicycles are made in Taiwan, and broken bikes can be as cheap as 300 NTD (compared to 60 NTD to put it on the metro for one trip). Over 3.5 years I think I've bought 8 scrap bikes, though I gave one away and 2 were stolen. Right now 3 are rideable. I can park anywhere without needing to dock, I don't need to worry if they get stolen (they're so cheap), and it pays for itself in metro fares within a month. I get regular exercise, I'm not limited by the 30 minute docking charges, and they're easy to repair. Traffic jams are a non-issue. When I leave (hopefully to NZ soon if I can get a job) then they're easy to get rid of.
Don't mistake superstitions for reality. Even lawyers are terrible for this.

There is a general principle in law called estoppel, which means that if you tacitly allow something, you may not later be able to act as though you didn't. With patents that could mean that if you tell Big Yellow Widgets it's fine to make a thing that's clearly your patented Foozablip, but then after a year you say hey, Big Yellow, we just decided you owe us $50 per unit for the patent, estoppel might mean that's not OK. But it wouldn't mean Big Yellow can just keep making them without paying now you've decided on a fee, or that everybody else can join in too. Your patent still applies, it would just be unfair for it to override your previous OK and cost Big Yellow all that money.
The article misses a keyword - RISK or risk tolerance.

Rich kids are able to take MORE risks than poor kids. We know that risk taking is positively correlated with wealth.

Both rich kids and poor kids take risks (financial and otherwise) get different results when they fail and when they succeed.

Simply, the rich kids suffer less from financial failures and make more money from their financial successes.

FAILURE

The poor become fearful after a few failures. Then over-compensate (by being wasteful spenders as mentioned in the article) or under-compensate (stick only to absolutely safe paths - bad in the long term)

A loss of $10,000 might get only a shrug from the rich kid but the poor kid might go mad with depression and suicidal thoughts.

SUCCESS

Finally, let's look at what success means to both classes. If we look at money as leverage, then even financial success between the rich and the poor is completely different.

Let's look at what a $0.1 increase in a stock price means to the two classes.

Person A has 100 stocks - $10 profit. Person B has 100,000 - $10k profit. Same investment. Both succeed in the same stock but result is completely different.

Writing this has clarified one point for me. The poor need to risk a larger percentage of their networth to see sizeable returns on their success.

When wins don't feel like wins and losses are devastating, it creates apathy towards trying.

The problem is cultural. It's not something you fix by stupid regulations. The fact that people feel obligated to stay long hours because their boss is in the office, and the whole concept of "we are all in this together so we should all suffer together" is a key driver.

>, but for a "generalised ability/desire to take and pass tests [...] the desire to pass the Marshmallow test). [...]

You and the blog you linked are getting sidetracked by the word "test" in "Marshmallow Test". You're thinking of academic/schooling connotations of "test" instead of the scientific observations of a "test".

I'd suggest to rewrite the "Marshmallow Test" in the brain as "Marshmallow Experiment". It is the observation of an experiment.

The children ages 4 to 6 in the original Stanford experiments were not aware they were "taking a test" for a "correct" answer. There is no correct answer. It's a setup for choices taken by children. Choosing 1 marshmallow instead of waiting 15 minutes for 2 is not a "wrong" answer. The choices are collected as observations and researchers try to find correlations. In this way, the "Marshmallow Test" is more like "Pepsi/Coke taste test" instead of "SAT tests".

The Marshmallow experiment may be flawed and the correlations may be also be dubious but dismissing it because children are trying to "pass tests" is misinterpreting it.

Adoption. It's legal not only at birth but even into adulthood. And Japan used to be (maybe still is?) really into adopting a smart young adult to take over a family business. So you've got some 200 year old family business, but each generation didn't miraculously inherit the business acumen and speciality skills needed for that business, they just adopted someone who had them into the family. Clever.
> Is that a valid thing to do? If "will power" was a strongly inherited trait, and the theory is that will power leads to increase household income in adult life, then this controlling would remove most of the signal.

I suspect you might misunderstand what "controling for" means.

Suppose you want to predict A (here "increase household income in adult life") using variable X (here "will power"). You do this by regressing A against X. Saying that you "control for Y" (here "income of a child's household") just means that you regress A against both X and Y simultaneously.

What sense does that make? Suppose that you regress A against X and conclude that "X explains some of A" (these are vague terms which I can make more precise if you want) and you hope that your correlation is capturing some narrative of causality. Well, someone could come along and say "yes, A and X are correlated, but actually the causality is Y causes A, and X just happens to be correlated with Y. So you're focusing your study on X when the interesting dynamics is on Y". This is valid criticism.

One way to mitigate that criticism is that you study how A depends on X while controling for Y (i.e. you include both in the regression). The rationale here is that if the result is that "both X and Y explain some of A" and someone makes that previous criticism you can respond "Yes, you're right that Y has some effect on A, but in addition X also has some effect on A, independently of Y. Therefore, X has signal regardless of whatever is going on in the dynamics between A and Y."

So, to answer your question: Yes, it's perfectly valid if you mean "controlling" in the sense that it is used in statistics.
