This article is a complete misrepresentation:

- There is no "battle" between SPD and protesters. SPD was trying to quash protests, which resulted in a public backlash. SPD then decided to stop trying to control protesters and left the east precinct. the "autonomous zone" is simply what the protests are calling the new police void.

- There is no actual evidence of material being thrown at SPD. With all the footage recorded, it would be on video, but all we see is flashbangs and tear gas. The "IED" was a photo of a smashed votive candle, presumably found on the ground.

- The article seeks to find and name "leaders". There are no leaders, the autonomous zone is just a bunch of people doing stuff, where there is no police presence.

- There is no sign that Anitfa is involved at all. This is just a boogyman.

This seems like the right approach... We store persistent data in DBMSes, which have a schema defining the layout of our data, and use versioned migrations to upgrade the data. All new data either has optional parameters with default values for all new properties, or the app has to be taken offline and all versions upgraded at the same time to migrate.

It seems reasonable to reflect this practice in all state based data representations within a language, not just in an external system. Is the reason this isn't done as a first class citizen of language design because it's too much work to write migrators for every data structure change?

Once I saw what the data collection form looks like, this makes more sense to me. My feedback as a user is that if you don't have a report for a benefit, you should still show it but indicate that its status is unknown. As it is, showing a red X next to a benefit for one company while not listing it at all for another company seems like you are unfairly "punishing" the first company while giving the second one a pass, when in reality you just don't have enough data (which is fine and understandable, but should be shown).

Also, this may or may not be true, but I wouldn't be surprised if showing "Unknown" next to some benefits encouraged people to actually submit their knowledge of if that benefit exists or not. As the saying goes, if you really want to get someone's input on the internet, just put something that might be wrong and wait for someone to correct you ;)

Be careful where you get your information from. The protesters are not Antifa-affiliated. And it's not 'seizing' control if the city and police are letting them do it (it's an 'exercise in deescalation', according to the police chief).
It's not super bad. A FB worker was suing for overtime money. She had the right under the FLSA to force FB to notify her coworkers that they might want to join her suit. FB argued that half of her coworkers were covered by arbitration agreements and they shouldn't have to give that half notice of the lawsuit. The appeals court agreed, ever so slightly eroding the rights of workers.
It was my understanding that the Representative quoted in the article was from the US House of Representatives which has 435 voting members. The senate has 100. These two bodies are in charge of drafting and passing legislation (hence the legislative branch). I though legislation begins with discussions within the house and then a bill is presented and then it moves to congress. Ultimately it is sent to be signed or vetoed by the president (the executive branch). Alternatively, the president does have some ability to sign some types of executive orders.

It was also my understanding that both legislation and executive orders are subject to judicial review, mainly in the form of supreme court case review but also in the form of statute reviews. Though these don't happen very frequently and many times the result is counter intuitive, it seems supreme court cases can go many ways depending on the complex legal interpretations of the justices.

I am an immigrant who had to learn about this on a naturalization test prep. So I know that my knowledge is SUPER basic and really it's the least any person who can vote in the USA should know.

Maybe you could explain to me as an apparently knowledgeable person where you came up with 'more than 1000' number? Hopefully you can tell me from the point of view of an American who knows his country and learned about it through his years of schooling.

Also, since 'this is not how the government works', maybe you could explain to ignorant old me how it does work? Save me from being silly and illuminate me with your wisdom!

> there are many ways you can average. Which one is it?

I think it is pretty clear from the paper that the average is over time.

The most detailed (and certainly not vague) description is given in "A Free Energy Principle for Biological Systems", Entropy 2012

> How for example do the 302 neurons of C elegans average?

They don't. An agent can optimize an objective without computing it explicitly.

> Free Energy does not make interesting predictions for neuroscience

What is your objection to my proposed prediction above, that we will find brain models with observable activity that follows the FEP?

Friston also has many papers that explain known facts in terms of FEP. I will grant you those are not predictions but they are consistency arguments.

> none of the progress in AI/ML has come from the Free Energy millieu either

Free energy is a dynamical version of variational Bayes, which has had enormous impact in ML/AI.

of course it is, like, physically possible that that's happening. There's just no evidence of it happening, so there's no reason to believe it.
No body is forcing you to read anything.

Though I will concede: reading is involuntary to literate adults.

Having said that, there’s currently, what? 28 comments in this thread.

Is that indicative enough that at least some people have derived value from it?

IMO it's a mistake to think of Git as a version control system. Git is a toolkit of parts that you can mix and match to build a version control system.

Using the toolkit directly is awkward and comes with a steep learning curve; many of the parts have sharp edges that can result in permanent loss of your work, others have deeply unintuitive purpose (e.g. the various ways to edit history).

Any productive scaled use of git requires wrapping it, whether with scripting or process or social norms or some combination of those. Only after this work is done do you end up with something it is meaningful to compare with another VCS.

Whether the ability to customize flow to your needs justifies the effort involved compared to other VCS is really something each organisation should decide for itself.

I see no reason to not use pocket holes for something like cabinet carcasses or other projects where your primary goal is making something square, especially if it's not going to be readily visible.

Anyone who would argue that pocket holes are unacceptable for cabinet work is someone I would argue you should ignore.
Personally I always saw Duchampis and Dada in general as a case of what we would now call trolling. An expression of intenral disgruntlement in and by the art community of the time and taking the piss a bit more literally than usual. There were already several cases of feigned identity of painters to gain more fame already and it seemed to be a sincere expression of frustration by mockery. Which exasperated them further by being taken seriously.

Ironically the "missing of the point" seems to have become a point in itself even without the historic context. Weird accidental statements by society in its reaction like ignoring the virtuoso playing the Strativius in the subway station because they don't recognize the quality without the trappings. A mere portrayal would be a ham handed allegory but if it really happens a lesson can be learned instead of an expression of another's opinion.
I wonder what the overlap is between people who screamed "if you don't like the name, fork it!" for 20+ years and people who lost it over Glimpse doing exactly that.
The rating you are referring to are typically based on tournament or rapid games, where the limited time induces the human players to mistakes that the computer capitalizes on. Given enough time or with a “blunder check” option, the best human players are still strategically stronger. In correspondence chess, where the is much more time at disposal, the human players can still improve the computer suggestions.

I like to define "art" as "A display of intent".

Example: the Voyager record. Any sufficiently-intelligent alien who comes across it is likely to conclude "That object probably wasn't an accident".

Compare this to tabloid articles with stories like "The face of Jesus appeared in my toast this morning!". Regardless of whether you're an atheist or not, the Voyager record undeniably offers a higher standard of evidence that some intelligent entity intentionally produced it. Somebody spent time and energy to make it look exactly like that.

I like this definition because it acts as an interesting litmus test.

Fantasy novels? Art.

A toilet? Definitely intentional, but how much thought went into every little aspect? How much of the design and production was left to chance?

An extremely ergonomic and well-designed toilet? Inching more towards "art", because it's not just any old toilet -- it's that toilet.

Plain white canvas in a fancy modern art museum? Debatable. Why does it look like that? Is the intent intrinsically obvious? Maybe it's obvious to serious art critics with a background in this stuff, but maybe it seems meaningless to everybody else.

Random squiggles in a fancy modern art museum? Still debatable, but more obvious than the white canvas - even if it was all random, somebody decided that they really liked those squiggles, and made the call that the squiggles were "done", and they decided to put it up on a wall instead of trashing it. From the artist's perspective, this is definitely art - it encodes a number of judgement calls on the part of the artist. To everybody else, it might just look like squiggles, so everybody else doesn't have to agree that it's art.

The back-end is largely package type agnostic and the package manager front-ends are pluggable. I'd look for AWS to expand package manager support in the near future. Nuget was on the list along with a few other popular package managers. There's a whole lot of functionality in the platform they didn't yet expose or have finished for the launch, I'd keep an eye on this as they move forward.

I think this is generally a good answer, but keep in mind I said AGI "in text". My forecasting is that within 3 years you will be able to give arbitrary text commands and get the textual output of the equivalents of "clean my house, take care of my kids, ..." like problems.

I also would contend that there is reasoning happening and that zero-shot demonstrates this. Specifically, reasoning about the intent of the prompt. The fact that you get this simply by building a general-purpose text model is a surprise to me.

Something I haven't seen yet is a model simulate the mind of the questioner, the way humans do, over time (minutes, days, years).

I disagree. It seems like you only know Elsevier as a publisher of journals, but that's only about 1/3 of their overall business. They (RELX) provide a lot of useful services to companies and governments.

About half their revenue and profits come from Risk and Legal services, which are not things you hear about in the news. They offer services for police, airlines, legal firms, insurance companies, accounting firms Hell, they have an analytics tool for agricultural businesses. They also have enough money to throw around in these spaces to prevent any startups from getting large enough to be a threat.
Maybe I'm just naïve, but I am surprised by this response as well, and would be surprised if the election didn't happen.

Honestly, it just feels like status quo for the parties. With 3 branches of government and a 2 party system, one party usually has 2 of 3 branches. I think it's dangerous for 1 party to have all 3. I just feel like every election cycle it's the end of the world for one of the parties. In fact, I think only Regan and Bush Sr didn't have the party support in congress for part or all of their terms.
Presumably, then, evidence that there was no "nationwide looting and arson orchestrated by antifa" would help change your mind?

"Hoping to break through the barricade, protesters attacked officers with bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices, sending some officers to the hospital. At the same time, activists circulated videos of the conflict and accused the police of brutality, demanding that the city cease using teargas and other anti-riot techniques."

Expecting not to be tear gassed while your antifa cohorts are using bricks, bottles, rocks, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) against the police seems unreasonable even if people are calling to ban tear gas and rubber bullets. Rubber bullets can kill, but tear gas as an equal response to IEDs seems the lesser of two evils.

I expect they will relinquish control of their "autonomous zone" when they can no longer maintain their own order or clean up the waste that will build up as services fail.

Open Source Hardware is not limited to just the PCB design.

Here is an excerpt from the definition provided by OSHWA [1]:

> Open Source Hardware (OSHW) is a term for tangible artifacts — machines, devices, or other physical things — whose design has been released to the public in such a way that anyone can make, modify, distribute, and use those things.

Wikipedia's article on Open-source hardware has the following statement [2]:

> Hardware design (i.e. mechanical drawings, schematics, bills of material, PCB layout data, HDL source code and integrated circuit layout data), in addition to the software that drives the hardware, are all released under free/libre terms.

I don't want to speak for anyone else, but my hope is that the ecosystem around FPGAs, including the VHDL/Verilog, toolchain, design and manufacture, will all be free/libre so that the underlying chips will be treated as commodity. Even if the chips themselves need massive infrastructure to create, if they're treated more like a fungible commodity then we could see 'clones' pop up and not be so dependent on a select few companies.

In terms of DIY manufacture, I think Sam Zeloof has been doing some "Homemade Silicon ICs" [3] but I don't have a good sense if that will ever catch on or be within reach of the average hobbyist.

Maybe a bit off-topic but @ico_TC has this to say on Twitter about it [4]:

> I had discussions with 4 different FPGA vendors. For them it does not make sense to invest cash in improving the open source toolchain, as it does not sell enough additional chips to justify the cash investment.

Yes, having a psychedelic experience without someone guiding is potentially dangerous and people shouldn't do these drugs for fun because it is not fun, quite the opposite, I remember crying a lot after my experience. My experience was more than 10 years ago and it still feels beneficial. I wouldn't have another psych experience unless I feel that I need to.
It may focus on user's rights, but it still requires technical expertise to exercise half of the 4 freedoms: #1 (inspection & modification) and #3 (distributing your modifications). Merely knowing to ask "can I see the source code" I would put into the "technical user" realm. Overwhelmingly, most people don't know or don't care.

The other two freedoms #0 (freedom to run) and #2 (freedom to share) are readily obvious to non-technical users. "Double click to run" and "drag and drop <on external drive> to copy". Unfortunately, they are also often permitted by non-free/libre software. So non-technical users that can readily see they can do #0 and #2 and generally have no litmus test to further determine whether the software is "free/libre".

This is a case where the ideology's practical concerns hamper its purity. I critique despite generally liking the FLOSS ideal, but it's important to know its flaws.

> Unfortunately, one can’t fully eradicate intermittently failing tests,

Oh boy do I disagree with this. I have a zero tolerance policy for flaky tests. In code bases where I have the authority, I immediately remove flaky tests and notify the relevant teams. If you let flaky tests fester - or worse, hack together test re-runners and flaky reporters - they will erode trust in your test suite. "Just re-run the build" will become a common refrain, and hours are wasted performing re-runs instead of tracking down the actual problems causing the red tests.
