People have been typesetting research papers in LaTeX for awhile, and that's not much different. The beauty of plaintext is that it is easy to both read and author, and almost any tool can do the job.

> Doing this basic formatting in ascii text is just mind-numbingly stupid.

We write programs in text, and they're capable of exhibiting an unlimited assortment of behaviors.

Using a wysiwyg tool is burdensome, inaccessible, hard to automate, and doesn't integrate with the myriad of other tools we have available.
One important nuance to the Chinese Room is to keep in mind that, even as a black box, there must be limitations on its behavior. We can infer those limitations.

We start with Aaronson's observation [0] that the Chinese Room's complexity can be analyzed. Let us assume that the Room responds in (N)P time, and in particular not EXP time. Then the dictionary must be poly-sized. Further, the dictionary is finite but the input strings are unbounded in length, so that we must be able to divide and conquer somehow. Therefore we only need log-many steps to walk the dictionary. The dictionary is ordered, and so indexed, and so walked in log-time.

We can conclude that Searle's definition of intelligence is basically the ability to execute certain kinds of basic katamorphisms, akin to pregroup grammars [1] or other categorical grammars; in other words, Searle says that intelligence is merely the ability to talk convincingly like a human, and not necessarily any of the other features that we see across Mammalia.

Searle might retort that the Room knows facts about the world. This would require us to augment our pregroup/category, enriching it with relational information. For example, in the utterance "I like cats", we might annotate each word with a relation or type, and then look them up in a secondary database-book. We can see here that it would then be the database-book which has an opinion on cats, since "I" becomes merely another symbol in the database. This is reminiscent of Hofstadter's critique of Searle (supported by his other work), in which he suggests that "I" is indeed merely a self-referent symbol which leads to a strange loop, or as he puts it, "I am a strange loop." Here, the strangeness of the loop is provided by the ability of "I" to be both a plain word in the textual language and also a referent symbol in the symbolic database.

Edit: Forgot the main takeaway: When Searle and Turing measure intelligence based on a person's ability to respond to textual queries with textual answers, but the entire interface between the tester and the person is the ability to give textual answers to textual questions, then we aren't measuring intelligence anymore. We've struck Goodhart's Law [2] and we can imagine that the most successful people in these tests will be those who can abuse glitches in text-processing systems.

Cochrane is the name of a literature database, not a method. It implies nothing about the quality of the research.

In fact, this is a meta-analysis of 138 papers from five different databases, and they say right at the top of the abstract that most of the studies were of poor quality:

"Study quality was poor for the three randomised controlled trials and most of the cluster randomised controlled trials; the observational studies were of mixed quality. Heterogeneity precluded meta-analysis of most data except that from six case-control studies."

The table you're citing says that they found an odds ratio somewhat better than frequent handwashing (55%), but worse than wearing a gown (77%) when they averaged the results of five different case-control studies, mostly in hospital conditions (the sixth didn't look at masks). Two studies investigated the use of N95 masks (specifically) at preventing infected people from transmitting their virus to others, and for these studies, they found a .09 odds ratio (with a wide confidence interval: 0.03-0.3), and they go so far as to say:

"Evidence was limited for the superior effectiveness of barrier devices to droplets such as the N95 masks...over simple surgical masks."

So they don't even believe the numbers.

This paper in no way supports the statement you made...in fact, it appears that you completely misunderstood what you read, because the only intervention with 91% effectiveness was "handwashing, mask, gloves and gown combined." But hey...if that's the way you go outside, good for you.

Most people regardless of their background are not billionaires. Background certainly increases the chances, though.

> Strange idea. Elon musk started in SA.

Strange idea. There are people born into privilege all over the world. '"We were very wealthy," says Errol [Elon's father]. "We had so much money at times we couldn't even close our safe."' 'Errol returned to South Africa with a half-share in a Zambian emerald mine, which would help to fund his family's lavish lifestyle of yachts, skiing holidays, and expensive computers. ... It was that lifestyle, Errol says, that turned Elon into the kind of merchant adventurer who would later break the rules of the motoring business with Tesla, then go on to change spaceflight with SpaceX.'

That's a part of my point. The compensation is arbitrary past a certain point where your actual needs are met, unless you're driven by the stuff you exchange the money for. For myself, it's evident even in the post necessity phase where I know I still need to bank some cash to be able to assume some future volatility, but am not in the market for anything out of my reach to buy, so the money stops having tangible value.

Why all graphs are cummulative instead of new cases for that day? It's harder to notice how it is growing that way (i.e. more or less new cases than the previous days) and harder to see if it is going exponential, lineal or whatever. And, of course, forces to use log scales because the accumulated number is already high.

At least for networking graphs is more meaningful to see difference from the actual from the previous commulative total, than watching the total for a network interface.

Another, at least for me, misleading use of graphs is to show the cummulative total people that ever got sick, instead of the current amount of sick people (taking out the recovered, and maybe the dead ones).

I know that how the measurements are done in most places is rigged, as not everyone is checked, and there are a lot of people that are asymptomatic, but that happens with both the new cases and the cummulative ones. Showing the cummulative numbers don't take out that rigging.
But if you are over qualified your effort is lower. Working at a startup I felt I had nothing left in the tank compared to corporate job that I could checkout easily at the end of the day go home and write more code.

I also love org but it is no replacement for Markdown exactly for the reason you mentioned. Emacs as a way of life is a no go for most developers.

I may love Emacs but I want to be able to edit my project with something else if need be (IntelliJ IDEA?) and I definitely don't want to force my users to any particular IDE. Making my project only really accessible to Emacs users just to be able to work with document files seems like a very good idea if I want to discourage them from ever looking at it.
i actually disagreed with a lot of these. markdown is opinionated. the feature set is limited. the output looks almost all about the same. this is the goal.

no one wants the myspace outcome of simplifying messages. you usually don’t need much styling but the tools that markdown includes are good enough. if you need more you probably want to ask why you’re writing in a place that only accepts markdown

Because of push you are not set up to concentrate on your showcase and because of which your right hand isn't fulfilled. Additionally, in the event that you talk about some interior happenings, by then it is an immediate consequence of low testosterone level hormone. It causes low availability, low drive, and feeble erections and less adaptability. It is seen that testosterone is begun to diminish in men after 30 and it proceeds because of which a man needs to go facing sexual issue.
To fulfill you, aide, it is fundamental to wind up being explicitly incredible and solid. There are different reactions for low maleness. Some experience therapeutic techniques and some take over the top accommodating drugs. In any case, a customary mother can't endure the cost of this cost.

I'm not sure why so many people describe JVM based software as "heavy"? Is it possible to describe what "heavy" here means in more scientific terms?

Does it mean that startup is slow (possibly due to AOT)?

Does it mean that consumes a lot more memory than the equivalent C/C++/JS/Python/etc program? (I don't think so.)

Does it mean that code execution is too slow? (This hasn't been true for over a decade or close to two; the JVM's JIT is one of best ever.)

Does it mean the GC pauses are too painfully apparent? (I don't think this is true at all.)

Does it mean that users of JVM languages have a tendency to write code that is in inefficient/slow/bloated on average? (Again, I'd say this isn't true; and I've seen code to tend heavily more on the inefficient more so with dynamically typed languages in general.)

So, what really does "heavy" mean here?

(Lastly, while the core compiler tooling for Kotlin is probably reliant on the JVM, you don't have to use a JVM-based IDE for sure - VS Code (which is written in TypeScript/JS) should work fine as well.)
At the time when Markdown was created, there were a hundred or two wiki and CMS systems each accepting a different syntax.

It's IFS (Iterated Function Systems):

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

IFS uses a set of affine transformations (translation, scale, rotation and shear, which can each be represented by a single matrix, and in the 2d case you can think of them as a set of rectangles/parallelograms).

IFS are most often drawn by starting from a random location and then repeatedly selecting a random transform from the set, applying it to the previous position and then drawing a dot at the new position. You can also generate all the locations first (yielding a point-cloud) and then rasterize them to make an image. The same idea applies using 3d affine transforms with almost no extra effort. I think this is what Richard 'doc' Bailey (may he rest in peace) may have been doing in his awesome 'image savant/spore' work.

Flame fractals (electric sheep) extended the same idea with non-linear transformations, and coloring methods to great effect!

There is also some cool formulas in the isosurface-based 3d-fractal scene (one is called 'Kaleidoscopic IFS') where the drawing method is (of course) very different but the underlying repeated-transformation principle is the same.

Indeed most kinds of fractals can be thought of in the same way: Repeatedly apply some geometric transformation or deformation (or synthesis in the case of 'fractal noise') in feedback.

I agree with Searle insomuch that Life and Death is the real contingency with which gives a reality meaning. If the simulation had some arbitrary cellular-automata ruleset, there is no guarantee that the simulation would ever evolve into something isomorphic to our reality. I have a strong belief that 3D physics + collision/contact forces, conservation of energy, linearity of perspective, and a nutrient cycle are important pieces.

If thought is indeed "intrinsically dependent on biochemistry...", then we have a hard journey ahead.

However, AI philosophers should try their own medicine and present claims with real contingencies, i.e. make claims that are experimentally falsifiable.

Put another way, I'm less interested in debating what "understanding" is and more interested in figuring out how to build a Chinese room to begin with. Once we have such a system, perhaps we might realize that the Chinese Room thought experiment was ill-posed to begin with.

The acute life threat of war times and famine was not constant. While 21 century west have higher life expectancy then the past, the "don't know what next week brings" is not how majority of history works. There are such unstable periods (world wars etc) that get changed for stable periods.

Second, parent said that we don't face any struggle which leads to depression. That is not true on any point. People struggle, they are poor or in pain.

Third, unstable periods make mental health issues go worst. Including depression. They also make consequences of those mental health issues worst - meaning depressed person is more likely to die, get hurt or hurt others.
