Which is dead wrong, because not only is there no usable definition of "improve itself", but there isn't even any understanding of the kinds of skills required to create a usable definition.

It's the difference between a computer that is taught how to compose okay-ish music, and a computer that learns spontaneously how to compose really really great music and do all of the social, cultural, and financial things required to create a career for itself as a notable composer and then does something entirely new and surprising given that starting point.

They're completely different problem classes, operating on completely different levels of sophistication and insight.

A lot of "real" AI problems are cultural, social, psychological, and semantic, and are going to need entirely new forms of meta-computation.

You're not going to get there with any current form of ML, no matter how fast it runs, because no current form of ML can represent the problems that need to be solved to operate in those domains - never mind spontaneously generate effective solutions for those problems.

“Having a college degree is most beneficial to the kids who aren’t that smart,” Reeves said. Intelligent kids will have thousands of opportunities to demonstrate their skills. Less-talented kids, on the other hand, have to rely on credentials that make them seem intelligent — high SAT scores, top-tier diplomas and corporate internships."

This would seem to contradict the premise of the article. The talented poor kids would by that argument have no problem breaking into the top echelons of society, irrespective of the resources available to rich kids to attend the best colleges. Reality is somewhere in between.

It's incredibly logically consistent. People do things that they are able to do. Saving millions of ants with a stick is very easy. Dismantling the entire meat industry is a decades long effort that requires millions to cooperate and probably isn't going to succeed either way and its results won't be attributed to a lone scientist helping ants.

> Policy #: III.F.1.a (YouTube Look and Feel) API Client must not change or interfere with user interfaces in YouTube Applications unless you have obtained YouTube's prior written approval

assuming you haven't previously acquired written approval. Have you tried doing that?

You're also definitely modifying and building up a portion of functionality of the player

Ultimately, i think you're kinda screwed. You're unlikely to get into contact with someone with the power to make decisions / exceptions.

BUT there is another option. It doesn't have to be a site. Could you do it using the normal non-api tools available to end users browsing youtube. In other words, could you make it a browser plugin that they couldn't complain about?

---
as an aside, this seems a pretty clear violation of the intent of their terms of service. it sounds like you're trying to rules lawyer them into ignoring their own rules. Imagine the tables were turned and your product had an API someone was using. They're clearly violating the intent of your terms of service, but they're trying to argue with you that "technically I'm not" would you really be inclined to let them off because you hadn't gotten explicit enough in your TOS? Even if you did, the _next_ iteration of your terms of service WOULD be explicit enough and then you _would_ boot them.

I agree that what you're doing is probably a good thing, and that it's silly for YT to be trying to kill it. I agree that they _should_ let it slide, but at the same time, it _is_ a clear violation, and not one of the many cases of them being random A-Holes and applying completely inapplicable rules to get rid of someone.

An output that just sits as additional inventory doesn't actually produce any revenues, at some point it becomes economically rational to reduce said output to levels that make sense again (i.e. that don't sit in deposits collecting dust instead of being in customers' hands half a world away).

In school the goal isn’t to solve the problem, but to learn something in the process of solving that problem.

Thinking outside the box is of course valuable, but the teachers have specific concept they want to teach and constraints like that help them accomplish that.

When it comes to tests, it’s not as easy. At tests it’s is more about solving the actual problem, but one could still argue that the test is meant to test how well one has learned what was thought, not to solve the problem.

I think this is totally fair in this case.
The topic is quite controversial, but there is a path forward. There are several theoretical computing technologies that can get very close to the theoretical maximum allowed by physics (as well as being revisible), but we can't build them yet because nanofactories/molecular assemblers/whatever-you-call-them don't exist yet.
I don't understand such comments. Maybe if you're chasing the latest AAA game. But all the last games I bought had Linux versions. Back in the era of Loki games, maybe what you said was true, but that's 20 years ago now.

The author seems to hate the rich more than he loves the poor. Orwell wrote:

"The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which ‘we’, the clever ones, are going to impose upon ‘them’, the Lower Orders. ...

Though seldom giving much evidence of affection for the exploited, he is perfectly capable of displaying hatred — a sort of queer, theoretical, in vacua hatred — against the exploiters. Hence the grand old Socialist sport of denouncing the bourgeoisie. It is strange how easily almost any Socialist writer can lash himself into frenzies of rage against the class to which, by birth or by adoption, he himself invariably belongs."

> America has a social mobility problem. Children born in 1940 had a 90% chance of earning more than their parents. For children born in 1984, the odds were 50-50.

I think it's not unimportant to remember that Americas economic position in the world was dramatically different then. With the end of WWII, we had the Brenton Woods system, and the Marshall Plan. Those 2 systems drove economic growth, and placed America in the center of it. It was an unprecentented period of economic development worldwide, but especially so for America. The tech boom drove quite a bit of growth too, but it was narrower, and not in the same level of magnitude.

The point is, 1944 - 1991 is a HIGHLY unusual economic state, and it's not reasonable to expect that the mobility that existed then should still exist today.

You're talking about two different metrics there, intelligence and achievement. Ideally the former would lead to the latter, but in practice, I've seen myself and read in numerous places how the most clever people rarely ascend into management, because management doesn't want them in management, they want them doing the work. They do it best.

There's a reason "failing upward" is a concept.

At least this is in the article too:

After the interview aired, the Uber head tried to disassociate himself from it, saying he had misspoken. “I said something in the moment that I do not believe,” Khosrowshahi said in a statement Monday. “When it comes to Jamal Khashoggi, his murder was reprehensible and should not be forgotten or excused.”

> According to our laws humans have some rights by just being a human.

Being human means you can plan things out and recall the passage of time by sharing stories. Language and higher thought make us peculiar in that regard; they give us a past and a future, which is why you're destroying something if you end a human being's life early.

For a similar reason, we have rules against causing suffering that apply to animals that can suffer.

I guess the argument is "is it worth it to save some people the privacy issue of extensions phoning home the pages you visit by requiring the ad-blocking to be a rule list and not rely on synchronous webRequest blocking". Safari's webRequest change also blocked even monitoring webRequest URLs, so the current adblocking solution is to only provide a list of blocked patterns, and it seems to work for me.

> Racism was not white vs black.

Racism was and is more complex than just white vs. black, but that wasn't your claim upthread that I have been arguing against.

What you claimed previously was that white was not considered a race before the 1920s. It absolutely was, and there are copious prominent invocations of white racial identity in US history prior to that time—as I've shown with the Cornerstone speech—and while racism is more complex than just white vs. black (and ideas of just who is white have evolved), white vs. black has been a key racial divide for the whole history of the country.
