> The trick is not to rely on Google translate for a finished translation, but to use it just as a tool toward reaching that goal.

This assumes the use case is a translator fluent in the source and target languages translating a passage. The far more common use cases for Google translate are people with near-zero knowledge of either the source or target language and little chance of completing the task successfully.
How does one learn how to write device drivers under Linux?
Is that necessary? Couldn't such companies also have many cars parked around downtowns, ready to be activated for a ride at any time? Remember, without a driver, there's no need for someone to "orbit", looking for riders, rather the riders call the cars themselves.
Regarding the "failed paradigm" (i.e: of logic- and knowledge-based AI) and
how neural nets scale, specifically on language modelling tasks.

I study a class of machine learning algorithms that learn logic programs (as
in Prolog, or ASP) from examples. The field is Inductive Logic Programming.
ILP algorithms are characterised by their ability to incorporate background
knowledge and impose strong inductive biases on the hypothesis space to learn
accurately from a handful of examples.

My favourite example of this is learning a grammar of the aⁿbⁿ language. My
implementation of one of the algorithms that my research group studies (I'm a
Phd research student) is Thelma:

https://github.com/stassa/thelma

In Thelma's README on github you will find an example of Thelma learning a
grammar of the aⁿbⁿ language from three positive examples and no negative
examples. The learned grammar generalises to any n. In typical CFG notation
it's this grammar:

S → AB
S → AS₁
S₁ → B
A → a
B → b

(The nonterminal S₁ is invented, i.e. it was not given in the original
learning problem defintion. The preterminals A and B are background
knowledge.)

By contrast, neural networks can only learn fragments of this grammar up to
some limited n and that only if they're given tens of thousands of training
examples.

For instance, a classic paper by Gers and Schmidhüber [1] claims LSTM
"generalisation" from training sets of 22 to 42 thousand aⁿbⁿ strings, but
their average generalisaion is, e.g. from n in [1,50] (i.e. that's the value
of n in training strings) to n in [1,430] (n in testing strings) and their
"best" generalisation is at most to n in [1,1000].

On Thelma's README on github I have a small testing query that tests how the
aⁿbⁿ grammar it learned from 3 positive examples with n in [1,3] generalises
to an aⁿbⁿ string of e.g. n = 100,000:

?- _N = 100_000, findall(a, between(1,_N,_), _As), findall(b, between(1,_N,_),_Bs), append(_As,_Bs,_AsBs), anbn:'S'(_AsBs,[]).
true .

Well, it's a correct grammar so it generalises perfectly. You can bind _N to
any number your computer memory will allow and it will still parse.

So, besides the plug of my work (sorry) I would say that the earlier paradigm
that you say has "failed" with respect to recent connectionist success is
alive and well and it still gets many things right that the connectionist
paradigm struggles with mightily, in particular robust generalisation from
very few examples (without expensive pre-training etc), and of course any task
that requires reasoning [2].

You'll never convince me that that isn't a better alternate reality.) ...and then turn around and spend it on good works.

As for making money vs. doing good, I think there is a fundamental tension, but I find it hard to articulate.

> If colorblindness is due to a lack of cones

Some are, some aren't. Anomalous trichromacy (where one cone type is shifted) is still considered color blindness.
The article you link to points out that only a small part of what Wikipedia spends is directly used to keep the website up. Spending in 2008 was less than 5% of today, and the website was just fine.
Another major issue, beyond the comment in the article about how people may have shifted around usage temporarily to take advantage of the service, is the all-you-can eat effect. Compare how much you eat and drink your first few days at an all-inclusive resort versus how much you'd consume each day after a couple weeks there. The novelty of gorging wears off, and if you were paying gas and maintenance per trip that would happen especially fast.

I'm certain lowering the cost (and opportunity cost) of driving will mean more driving, but the magnitude of the change can't be predicted from a short study.
I don't think so.

Let's put it this way:

K&R is 272 pages and covers essentially all of C.

Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language is 1376 pages, and doesn't even begin to cover all the complexities and nuances of modern C++.
Perhaps the fight should start with:

- Not sending data to Google

- Finding a different business model that does not almost entirely rely on Google

- Not collecting user data

$4-5k per wafer (sounds very low to me) doesn't say anything about yields due to manufacturing error. The smaller a CPU is, the higher your yields on a wafer because each error will destroy fewer and fewer chips.

When you have only a few giant chips per wafer, each error becomes devastating, taking out a large fraction of the wafer. Errors are so common I wouldnt be surprised if it took them 5-10 wafers per working chip, especially if they dont do any binning or they didnt design the chip to fuse off bad sections like Intel CPUs do (a single i3/i5/i7/i9 line is usually the same exact chip, with cores that have too many manufacturing errors fused off so perfect parts become i9s, less perfect parts become i7s, etc).
Firefox is unfortunately becoming unrelevant. They have pretty much less than 5% global usage and it's not exactly increasing.

Mozilla needs to sharpen up in my view. I use Brave because I like Brendan Eich and I am not exactly a fan of Mozilla as an org. There is no way to fund Firefox development as a user and it seems like they have focused more on side products / services lately.

Generally all common kinds of colorblindness are considered in accessibility. We are expected to accommodate to this mostly male problem. Using primary colors and strong color contrasts is the normal way of doing things, using subtle shades that color blind men dont see is considered bad thing.

With exception of electrotechnic which is historically male dominated and uses ridiculous color system that ignores the issue entirely. Dunno why. I am all for changing that.
Interestingly I was thinking about that article when I posted my comment. One takeaway is that Wikipedia shouldn't even be spending as much as they are.
> I just thought she was good at picking clothes that went together well.

Good for her, but I doubt this is because she can "see colors nobody else can". If that was the case, she would most likely be worse at picking colors which (to the average eye) goes together well. Maybe she just have good taste?

Quay is unrelated to podman (and has been open sourced last week, I think).

podman is not intended to be used by k8s/k3s, it's only for interactive container usage. k8s uses cri-o.
Being colorblind myself, I used to be envious of people who could see more colors than me. I still am, to some extent. Though, over the years I picked up on an upside to it. Since I'm unable to see as many colors when viewing the world, I tend to pick up changes in motion much more quickly than people around me.

It makes me fairly proficient at driving, dodging moving obstacles while doing any physical activiy, and fast-paced games (like FPS) - even if the trade off is that I occasionally killed teammates because I couldn't see the color differences between players at times.

Everything has it's pros and cones (pun :D)
Yeah, image reproduction tech that reduces pictures to the three colors us "normals" see, will not contain anything extra for tetrachromats.

Only the real world does.

...one of the influences on the character of Dr Strangelove...

Herman Kahn being another.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Kahn

Paul Boyer's assessment of the pastiche here omits von Neumann, though the environment was target-rich:

While exposing the dangers and dilemmas of deterrence theory, Kubrick also satirized contemporary military figures and strategists, probably including Henry Kissinger, the author of Nuclear Weapons and Foreign Policy (1957); physicist Edward Teller, the “father” of the H-bomb; the ex-Nazi space scientist Wernher Von Braun; and the bombastic, cigar-chomping SAC commander Curtis LeMay, who in 1957 had told a government commission assessing U.S. nuclear policy that, if a Soviet attack ever seemed likely, he planned to “knock the shit out of them before they got off the ground.” Reminded that U.S. policy rejected preemptive war, LeMay had retorted, “No, it’s not national policy, but it’s my policy.” Much of the strategic thinking that Kubrick critiques, and even some of the dialogue in “Dr. Strangelove,” came from the work of Herman Kahn of the RAND Corp., an Air Force-funded California think tank. Kubrick read Kahn’s work carefully, especially his influential On Thermonuclear War (1960). General Turgidson’s upbeat assessment of the outcome of an all-out nuclear exchange directly paraphrases Kahn’s analysis.

>it would get more adoption in other markets and promote the variety of engines that we sorely need.

we don't need variety of engines, we need a non-pofit alternative to google that can throw a punch, which firefox is.

An engine is a technical undertaking (of enormous proportion), and there's essentially no need to have even more of them. If anything it'd just make building websites harder. The issue isn't with blink or gecko it's with Google's control over the browser space. If Firefox was built on blink and had 50% market share I'd be happier than having a hundred engines with 2%.

Yeah, but all real light is a mixture of a lot of wavelengths that our retinas filter down to three aggregates of "red", "blue", and "green".

But don't worry: Catholic and Protestant Churches will get your tax money anyway: Since Napoleon – yes: THE Napoleon! – Germans pay a "compensation" for the riches taken from the churches then (which they, of course, had taken first from the people…). It is still paid today by the state, even though already the German constitution of the "Republic of Weimar" (i.e. 1919-1933) demanded that these payments should be stopped.
The money coming from all tax payers (yes, muslims, buddhists, atheists … too!) is taken, e.g., to pay the bishops of the two major churches and the cardinals. They get a free appartement, a free car with a driver and a salary near 10,000 €/Month.
Go figure that!!

Probably not: colors are pretty much always expressed in terms of RGB (at the "standard" trichromatic peaks"), and displays work in those terms. So you couldn't express the colors in questions, nor could you have the display show them.
Church tax is only collected if the matching religious group has asked the state to do so. Non-christian churches can do so too, and if you're not a member of any of these you don't pay church tax.
It seems to conflate search/auto-complete and then ignores the context of search having adversarial groups consistently trying to manipulate search rankings. While it's possible this was a good faith article, given News Corps' broader conflicts with Google recently I'd guess it's intentional.
You could expect an ergonomics 'expert' to come in but I don't think that will solve your problem. If the company calls someone in and they accomplish nothing, the company will have tried to do something, relinquished their liability and probably not have any more ideas even if they wanted to do more.

If that doesn't work, then what? Do you want your problem solved or do you just want to be at a company that takes a shot in the dark? You can probably find a company that will do that for you, there are plenty out there.

If you want to actually solve your problem though, you are going to have to confront it yourself from as many angles as possible. The first step is realizing there is a lot of trial and error and that few people really know what they are talking about. I've seen 'ergonomics' experts before, they will say to sit up straight and look forward. They don't have deep knowledge built up from trial and error with a understanding of underlying principles, they just have a certificate that gets the company off the hook.

> if you list ANY religion

That's deceptive. The tax form lists several churches that have decided to let the state collect their "membership dues". Many churches and denominations have declined to do so, and you won't find them on the tax form. You simply tick "none" if you're not a member of those specifically listed churches. And if you are, well, you owe that money to the church. You're free to leave that church.

Having tithes collected by the state is a breach in the separation of church and state (for historical reasons), but it's not like the churches have no choice.
But what I am saying is this, the highest levels of genius, I would argue, are categorically different than just highly intelligent people. I think theres something different about the way their brains are structured. I've interacted with some of the top minds in a few fields, and I never come off with the feeling that they are merely farther along some kind of "intelligence spectrum". It always feels as if their thinking is different, i.e. its source and methods are a different type of brain. I think theres a few mutations floating around in a few different pools of the population

Even if it were legal where I am...and it's not because of more American nonsense...I cannot afford it. I cannot afford MORE expense and am already sinking as it is. And again at this point pain control is like splinting the sprained ankle on a drowning person...they are still going under. If my basic life were not so terrible the pain would need less management. Even healing it entirely now wouldn't solve my problems since I am so far down in every way I'd just die pain free. It would take a long time of stability and security to stabilize and even then I am never getting back the quality of life I earned and deserve. But it's all pointless anyway because I am not even getting the splinted sprained ankle.

I don't mean to sound rude toward you and I know you mean well. Thank you for that. I have just crossed that line from despair into rage because I know I COULD live...but that I will not because it's not profitable for anyone for me to do so.

I have fought, begged, and raged about it for ages now and I will still be gone and it won't even register. I have learned I simply do not matter. Most people are terrible and most people are who make the rules of the game.

Corporations are definitely also moral hazards in many cases. But even when they profit from war, I think it's some form of government or government-like agency that's actually killing people.

There's actually a way for us to experience something similar: wear eyeglasses where the two lenses have different spectra. Then these "extra colors" show up as a shimmering sensation.

I have such a pair, but have to say it's not very exciting; there's not that much metamerism in the real world.
How do you measure ability objectively?
That's not quite the right way to think about it. Obviously, existing vision "covers" the full spectrum, there aren't any wavelengths that we can't see.

The trick to impossible colors is recognizing that our existing receptor spectra overlap. It's not possible to get "100% red" in the sense of only the "red" cone cells firing and none of the "blue" or "green" ones, because those other cells are going to fire at some small rate for the same frequencies.

But our brain can certainly receive such a color even if our eyes don't produce it, so in some sense we "understand" it as a color even if we'll never see it outside a laboratory or hallucination.
