skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
'In fact, they are probably not redistributable unless all the training data is supplied, since the GPL's definition of "source code" is the "preferred form for modification". For a pretrained neural network that is the training data'.

To me, this is the crux of the matter. If the view is taken that software distributed under a "free-software" compatible license is non-free without the ability to obtain all training sets for any models, there's going to be huge difficulty in incorporating ML into free software in many cases. Since many datasets aren't able to be redistributed freely (e.g. licensing, legal, cost), that's an enormous advantage for non-free offerings.

A possible route around this might be 'community curated' datasets, where contributors freely license their data in the same way as we do code. It'd be interesting to see if they come with an analog of the AGPL - ie. models trained on this dataset must be released to the user as source. (This might already exist?)

Because you didn't take the time to learn the DOM, that's all. I doubt learning a simple composite API made of dumb nodes is more difficult than writing thread safe programs in Go. I'm not talking about tastes or interests, I'm talking about ease of learning.

Go isn't 'easy to pick up'. For loops, if statements and co are basic, and they are in all languages, that's my point. There is nothing particularly easy with Go.

From a religious perspective, I think our purpose should be contributing something to the world as long as we live. Work is one of the best forms of contribution, which is why people pay for it. If I'm just sitting there living off a hoard, I might as well be dead. I would not be happy to not work.

I would be happy to work "half time" though, about 20 hours/week. I'm aiming for $25k this year or next to achieve that.

But if I didn't want to work at all, it would be at least $2M. It would make me very anxious though, with inflation and all.

This is totally an issue and I am glad there is some emerging discussion. It's true that practically you can run SGD on a CPU but it is really not feasible as your training time might blow up by a factor of 50 and it is not unusual to train a network for a week using nvidia GPUs (and their proprietary drivers and frameworks like cudnn).

At this point in time you just can't do some of the DL stuff without proprietary nvidia tech.

I find the topic of the free will to be the most fascinating.

The abscence of the free will ('free will' as it is defined by the pop culture) is a revolutionary idea because the current world structures and narratives are based on the notion that free will exists.

It is a much more revolutionary idea than Copernicus' round Earth discovery, because the illusion of the free will influences our lives more and in multiple ways.

I'm also a strong believer that the society without the idea of the free will would be a much more compassionate, healthier and happy.
I put pretty much all of my money into the deposit. I also borrowed as much as I could be lent, which was 5x my salary. The goal was to get a family home in a good location.

Deletion is too extreme for most people. More reasonable: escalating partial dis-engagement. Here's what my friends and I did, sequentially, over the years:

1. Turn off notifications for the Facebook app on your phone;

2. Turn off notifications for the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps on your phone;

3. Delete the Facebook app from your phone;

4. Delete the Facebook Messenger, Instagram, et cetera apps from your phone; and finally

5. Log out of Facebook on your desktop.

It took me 2 years to go through from step 1 to step 5. It has made me happier and more productive. I still have a Facebook account. But the friction of grabbing my laptop and logging in forces me to consider "is this what I want to do? Or am I thoughtlessly reaching for the crack pipe?"

Debian packager of Leela Zero here.

Most of the questions raised in the thread were basically irrelevant to Leela Zero, which does everything "correct" from the point-of-view of a strict interpretation of free software:

- open freely licensed data set
- open freely licensed training code

The only issue relevant for user software freedom, is that the results of the training process can't be reproduced easily.

I was irritated at the thread because 90% of it was theorising about some alternative situation where the data set was not free, or the training code was not free. That is not the situation we have with Leela Zero, we can skip that discussion and focus on what's actually at issue, i.e. the reproduction / verification of the training process.

My Master's Thesis is about this topic!

The related works section mention some languages that get fairly close to being actors with types (e.g. Pony), but you're right that we're not there yet.

The tricky thing is that we need types that evolve as messages are being sent - an actor might change behaviour when it receives a message. Academica is still figuring out the kinks of how to do that.

My work assigns a static type per actor and my conclusion is that that's decent - but quite annoying to program with and without the guarantee of deadlock freedom.

> I don’t know exactly how this can be solved completely.

One thing I don't understand is why there is no ranking of all the H1-B applications? Score and sort all the applications based on some metrics like education, compensation, work exp, company, etc.

Currently, applications are picked using a lottery. This does not make sense for an employment based visa! I know so many good engineers from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc who did not get their applications selected in the lottery after they studied and worked here and had to be moved to another country.

A Fear of Lawsuits Really Does Seem to Result in Extra Medical Tests
> The fact that non-mathematicians can produce sharp and correct criticism of an applied mathematician’s work shows us that the success of mathematics does not rest on its abstract beauty. The ability of researchers not versed in the subtleties of mathematics to help develop models contradicts Wigner’s ‘unreasonable effectiveness’ argument. It tells us that people not trained in mathematics are also able to give deep insights to the subject. Mathematics is not there to be discovered, it is part of the patterns of reasoning in all of our brains.

The key insight. It kind of reminds me of how physicists like Robbert Dijkgraaf (I think) have argued that physics and other fields are now contributing to mathematics through their own outlandish needs for weird maths.

I'd advise to anyone living outside of city centers to step outside sometime when it is dark, and try to spot something in the sky. There is lots of things to spot!

You do not need a telescope, the naked eye is more than enough.

Not only the obvious ones like The Moon,Mars, Mercury and Jupiter can be seen, but you can see for example the ISS! Or any of the IRIDIUM satellites. Depending on the angle, they sometimes appear as quite a bright spot, streaking through the sky.

You can download one of multiple apps that tell you the time, expected path and expected brightness of these events, and then just step outside and watch.

Just try it sometime, I think you will like it.

That will only happen if you're incompetent and will not write a few simple helper functions. And probably not even then. Plain DOM API is not that verbose over jQuery. Anyway, just look at what subset of jQuery you use the most and write helpers for that.

Your codebase is already grown by 1000s of lines by using jQuery, so you have quite a head start sizewise if you drop jQuery.

There's an endless loop in this argument.

Per definition, if free will doesn't exist, then you can't say that "the illusion of the free will influences our lives more and in multiple ways."

If free will doesn't exist, then our lives, thoughts and choices are predetermined, and thus they can't be "influenced" by our belief in free will (or lack thereof).

In fact if we are in such a world, the we can't even opt to believe in free will or not -- since in such a world, our beliefs are also predetermined themselves.

The society wont be any more "compassionate, healthier and happy" in such a world based on any of its beliefs. It would only be compassionated, healthier and happy if its predetermined to be so.

The only option for your argument to work, would be for free will to exist while the society doesn't believe it does. Such a society, indeed, could be more compassionated, healthier and happy (it remains to be proven, but it's a possibility that non-belief in free will could change things positively, as long as free will exists for this non-belief to make a difference).
