Nothing.
The difference is that this AI agent was built to beat humans. Horses were not built to run faster than humans.

You have to remember the specific comparison and the art that humans tried to partake in to master go.

Humans do not run to beat horses. We never compete. That would be silly.

Cars and humans also do not compete at the 100 meter dash.

If humans and robots compete at 100 meter dash than the olympics will similarly lose its luster.
> India has committed some horrible atrocities in the area,

Not only is that an oversimplification, but it is also plain wrong at so many levels (but it is the lie that has been spun for a long time now). Successive govts. helmed by a certain sell out (Indian) political party had systematically worked against Indian interests by not only not challenging this false narrative, but actually tacitly endorsing it, until recently. Embarrasingly, people like Tulsi Gabbard have been more sympathetic and supporting of the facts behind the incidents, and calling out the false media spin. But this support has led to India waking up and becoming more assertive in calling out lies and facing more facts on the table for all to see.. See this latest video from Tom Lantos meeting:

Edit: should read sell out Indian political party
If it made economic sense to pay people to dig holes and refill them all day, we would. But that's pointless - it provides no value. If we were going to do that, we should just pay people for nothing, which is what digging holes and refilling them is.

They would be better off, and so would the company and society at large, if they were put into a new role (at the existing company or a new one) that actually provided value.
I use DDG as my main search engine and I agree localised results are subpar ( I'm Brazilian ). I end up resorting to the !g bang most of the time but since these kinds of searches are a just small subset of my queries, it doesn't bother me that much.

It has two interpretations.

On one hand, the rise indicated women who had careers in their lives entered their 55+ years and brought the average up. Before then it simply wasn't an option as a woman even if you wanted one.

On the other it can indicate increased participation due to scarcer financial resources necessitating labor.

Its the difference between having to work and wanting to. Both are a kind of slavery because both are eliminating individual personal choice in the matter.
And thus PR strategy may work. To give this truck's toughness credibility, they need to "leak" a few videos how this electric truck easily outperforms military Hummers in Utah mountains. In addition to that, they can shoot this truck with ak47 and say that thanks to its steel frame, none of the bullets went thru, while the supposedly tough Hummers and died pickups look like a cardboard target now. After this, the cybertrucks toughness will be undisputable.

We have quack “doctors” that don’t qualify as doctors in the US, too. They’ve just managed to convince several state legislatures to allow them to practice medicine and call themselves doctors or physicians anyway.

Some of them are even allowed to prescribe medicine and perform surgical procedures. And just about all of this “naturopathic medicine” is entirely without evidence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturopathy#Regulation
Solve both problems (ease of access to eyeware, and screening for eye disease) the Australian way:

- One free eye exam each year covered by Medicare (to obtain your latest prescription, and check for all eye disease).

- Ability to go into an optical store and buy contact lenses/glasses if you tell them your prescription.
Yes. And you could even quote the page with all the twitter styling. Ie quote the HTML and CSS instead of just the tweet, if you really want that twitter look and feel.
I did try DDG and Startpage a few years ago but ultimately gave up because the results were not good.

I gave another try to DDG since about 3 weeks and so far the results are pretty good. Not only they got better on the last few years, but for me Google got worse at the same time.

Almost everytime I search in Google nowadays, I have to reformulate my search 2~3 times to get decent results. I often need to add double quotes, ask for reddit or specify the language. Google today just tries too much to read my mind, guess what I want and make interpretations instead of just doing what I asked. Because of this huge waste of time, I became frustrated over time.

Also, I am French, use English very often (including at work) and live in Japan, so the explicit region filter of DDG is really a bless compared to the obscure and almost always wrong way Google handles this.
If you have a digestive disease your Dr may refuse to fill your prescription if your last colonoscopy was more than ~2 years ago. Even if you have a less serious condition.

> I don't see why people who opt out of paying the toll should be allowed to use the service.

Nothing wrong with charging for access to a service. If the web service isn't free, then don't give access to people who haven't paid for it. If the site isn't free, then require payment before serving the web page. This is reasonable.

What happens instead is:

1. I make an HTTP request
2. The server sends me the page with the content I want for free
3. The page comes bundled with ads and tracking malware

That's unacceptable. They shouldn't be allowed to "charge" anyone by including javascript malware to collect and sell private information. If they add useless noise to the content in the form of ads, users are entirely within their rights to delete them. People can rip out and trash the ads of a printed magazine.

They don't want to do the reasonable thing because they'd make less money that way. That's not our problem though. They need to deal with it and stop abusing our trust or one day people will make laws to criminalize it.

> why should data be different as long as you're aware up front of what is collected and that it's the method of payment?

Because nobody knows what that data is going to be used for once it's in a database and up for sale. Nobody is made aware "up front" of the risks of data collection. It's impossible to determine the long term impact of this. It could amount to nothing. It could end up being leaked because of some intermediary's poor information security practices. A government could get access to it and start building dossiers on people or share it with other governments.

Yes. Though in our case I feel justified in using the simpler model of just assuming exponential shrinkage forever, because I assume that the end of twitter as a company (or the Internet) will happen before the heat death of the universe.

> Should we celebrate or protest when the LIUR increases?

By itself the metric seems pointless. For anyone looking at it. Participation does not imply utility or value - wartime nations would present extreme LIURs but building bombs doesn't translate into economic prosperity. Likewise, if people aren't working because there is no work to be done or because they value their non-GDP-influencing activities by choice that is only a good thing.

It looks like the kind of metric a C level fawns over to masquerade what looks like productivity when it doesn't actually have to be.

I mean, sure, kind of. But indirectly. We can eat improved technology which we might be able to buy some of with money.

increase retirement ages

Yeah, that's one of the negative consequences of the demographic collapse. Not that old people who can still work are owed a vacation funded by the young, but the world isn't exactly fair in handing out pain, and not everyone who can't retire will be deserving of not being able to retire.

reduce age discrimination

Maybe. Old people too broke to retire don't have tremendous leverage in the labor market, and historically market forces don't tend to fix discrimination, see, e.g. Blacks in the US.

They should care and ask you to do it, but no need for them to insist (or for there to even be a law or regulation to force them to insist).
Having all of your population employed isn't even necessarily a good thing. You can see low participation in the metered labor market when individuals are prosperous, well off, and self sufficient enough to avoid the rat race. It only means more poverty when lower employment means lower wealth.

If I recall, the video was not taken down. Her account was still active so people could see the video, but her access to the account was blocked for a month.

It’s ironic because TikTok was getting a lot of flak in the news recently because they were too slow to remove actual terrorist propaganda. So they probably went overboard and it resulted in this situation.

Damned if they do, and damned if they don’t.

You don't. It works only after you get enough funding to afford them. Initially you just stay focused on getting simple things done. And done well. That attracts better people through your satisfied customers and investors.
Perhaps, but I don't remember it in that context. Maybe someone older than me might remember.

I do remember it from back when we used to mail reel-to-reel magtapes around.
Sure. And you can take steps toward dealing with ignorance that are still compatible with informed consent. For example, we should ban the advertising of prescription drugs on television. Most other respectable countries do.

Yes, rook is great for bare metal and would enable dynamically provisioned persistent volumes.

Rook runs a ceph cluster inside your kubernetes cluster to provide the storage. The downside is this consumes cpu/memory (and obviously storage) resources to run, whereas on AWS, EBS is integrated into the platform so it does not "run" inside your cluster (other than the aws cloud-provider that provides the integration).

If you wanted to run the same storage backend on bare metal and AWS, rook would enable that.

Sell the developer on the chance to use the latest technology.

Sell the developer on the chance for career growth as the company grows.

Sell the developer on the fast paced environment without all the meetings and bureaucracy of larger companies.

Sell the developer on the chance to work broadly across many projects and not be stuck doing the same specialism all the time.

Sell the developer on being a big fish in a small pond and not just another numbered resource.

Your selling the culture and environment.
Nice job! This looks really well done.

I'm just getting started on something quite similar that will let you create disposable email addresses that forward mail to multiple recipients (for shared hotel/flight bookings, etc.). I see you have this feature to a lesser extent too, which is super cool.

Again, great work and good luck!

Hi, author here. Thanks for your interest!

The CLT would be a good guess at approaching this problem, and indeed it is the approach of prior works [1][2]. But in this paper, the key answer is actually law of large numbers, though CLT would feature more prominently if we allow weights to be sampled from a non-Gaussian distribution.

The TLDR proof goes like this: via some recursive application of law of large numbers, we show that the kernel (i.e. Gram matrix) of the final layer embeddings of a set of inputs will converge to a deterministic kernel. Then because the last layer weights are Gaussian, the convergence of the kernel implies convergence of the output distribution to a Gaussian.

99% of the proof is on how to recursively apply the law of large numbers. This uses a technique called Gaussian conditioning, which, as its name suggests, is only applicable because the distribution of weights is Gaussian.

> The question is always when do you start appreciably approaching the asymptote (answer: we often have no idea)

Check out the github repo [3] attached to this paper and look at plot (E) in the README. It shows the empirical rate of convergence for different architectures, but in general the Frobenius norm of the deviation from limit decays like 1/sqrt(width).

About the first: why not just give poor people money, so they can spend it on an eye exam or whatever is more urgent for them?

(And for non-poor people we can cut out the middle-men: just let them pay for their eye check out of pocket. Instead of having them pay a levy, have some layers of bureaucracy, and then give it back to them in the form of eye checks.

(Note: this is not an argument against medical insurance as insurance against unforeseeable, big events. It's only an argument against indirecting payments for small-ish, routine and predictable items.))
Yes. I will have things to say about training, but that requires building up some theoretical foundations. This paper is the first step in laying it out. Stay tuned! :)

I can’t even imagine what kind of “values declaration” a Chinese company, under the scrutiny of the CCP, could possibly hope to make. Free speech? Transparency? Privacy protection? Honesty and integrity? Any one of these is clearly a lie given the country that they’re based in.

I don’t know what the excuse of those other tech companies outside China could be. I guess when you move fast and break things, some of the things being broken are promises.

That's a possibility, but I don't know of any closed-source tool that does what Pernosco does. Tetrane is the closest I know of, but they aren't as scalable as Pernosco (they don't need to be).

Certainly possible that someone has a secret tool that's as good or better. However, I expect the secret tools in this space are all focused on so-called 'security research', i.e. more like Tetrane and targeted at adversaries of the software under test, rather than its developers, which leads to a somewhat different feature set.

Contrary to popular belief robinhood makes a good bit of money from selling order data, more than most brokerages. This is due to the fact that most robinhood users are inexperienced, and thus, their trades are less likely to indicate big movements of institutional money. I.e. HFTs pay more for data that is less risky.

Edit: Fun fact, the founders of Robinhood worked at an HFT before starting robinhood, which used to be shown on their LinkedIn until several years ago. Bad optics I suppose.

Or to get a blood test to see what kind of blood type you are, it’s not even enough to go to a primary cRe doctor and then get a lab ordered. They will try to resist telling you! Supposedly there is “no need” for you to know that information, and you can’t simply take a blood test from a lab without a PCP ordering it. Try it!

Luckily there is a loophole when you donate blood.

Or you can do your own lab, but I wouldn’t recommend it.
