Ugh.. This hits too close to home.
30 years? Wass humanity singing kumbaya before? Try over all of human civilization, like you said endlessly. Calling war endless isn't uncivil but being insulting and rude is, and if you don't understand the difference I have no obligation to answer to your justifications for endless, evil flame wars.

The post has a figure with rather scary stats. Although I suppose it comes from a followup of severe cases, not from a random sample of cases? Otherwise it's really, really scary.
Of course, I understand your decision. I only lament the induced fragmentation.
>What if the ultimate theory of mind turns out to be that consciousness is an illusion and nothing separates us from a sufficiently sophisticated markov process.

Conscious experience would still exist (see cogito ergo sum, Chalmers, etc). If we were to be shown we're just Markov processes, that wouldn't disprove the existence of conscious experience. Just like confabulation, a misleading experience is still an experience.

What it would disprove is any sense of agency.
I wouldn’t be surprised. I recently bought a low end android to use as a balloon tracker (which I didn’t realize was illegal until later) and had to wait around 10-20 minutes after connecting it to WiFi While it downloaded ~15 apps (some of which kept launching background services and crashing the phone because it would run out of memory.)

I used to think consumer PCs were bad but holy cow, the way android enables malware out of the box is insane! And in the name of protecting the user from malware they have no tools to deal with it.
> my biggest problem was simply that I still had to add all my templates to a single long html file.

The alternative (atleast when using frameworks like React and Vue with packagers like webpack is having it all in a single long html file. Which is just shifting markup from html to js. The other alternative is to dynamically load the html via ajax calls.

> I had a scaffolded page structure at top. and then dozens of template sections following it. and then as some templates are supposed to call other templates (form inside page section) there was a clear hierarchy but my html file was flat

Here you could make use of the document.ready event, and a js script that automatically parses and saves all <template> tag by id. That way, the templates calling other templates have a single source of truth for all dependent templates. You could also combine this will lazy loading via ajax calls.

> I really wanted to be able to breakup my html file into smaller composable ones without having to do that in JS. but there is no current solution for html importing other html files

There is no getting around JS if you want client side dynamic rendering - that's what its for. HTML is for static content, css for styling, JS for everything else.

You are the one playing a word game, arguing semantics. I added the "user" prefix to clarify, yet you insist on comparing apples and horse-apples. I understand your angle, yet the whole discussion is about horse-apples, so i do not see your target. My guess is "making the latter sound more palatable". Take your small "the well known term used in this thread and source article is shit" victory and be happy, you are not getting more.
But that second part is what’s key these days, right? Reducing uncertainty seems big — as I understand it, with an IPO you don’t know exactly how much money you’ll raise until the literal end of day 1, whereas with a SPAC, the specific dollar amount your company raises is worked out through negotiation well in advance of “going public”.

Thank you for the clarification on that first part, though.
The cat is out of bag already -- people know what one can accomplish if you scale up a GPT-2-like model. OpenAI has no control over it -- anyone with enough hardware and a bit of knowledge can make his own GPT-3, perhaps specialized for his needs.

The scariest thing is that GPT-3 is completely unoptimized. If you want to generate indistinguishable articles in a particular field, you can o it with fine-tuning, or, perhaps, adding GAN on top of it.
Some of possible next steps in my view: Global economic reconfiguration - recession / depression. Mandatory digital surveillance. Low birth rate. Remote work preference - remote economy. Difficult international travel. In general the world will be more like 1970 with digital communication from 2020. But the world is different now and may be never be the same.
> So I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with me about?

That you're trying to spin a narrative where the US Republicans are not considerably more to the right than even the right-wing parties of Europe.

AKK was even considered to be on the economic left-wing of the CDU? Sure, she had socially conservatives idea based on religion which is a shame but even the CDU's "family centered politics" would be considered a Bernie Sanders welfare state by the US conservatives.

People aren't necessarily full blown reactionaries like the US Republican party just because they have cherry-picked conservative ideas.
> How are they irrelevant?

To be blunt, you come across as having as shallow a grasp of this topic as I have of general relativity. I like learning about GR, but if I ask real physicists questions about it, the responses are, at best, “what are you even talking about?”

> The reason there are countries that developed and became first world countries is precisely because they used fossil fuels.

Better, cheaper, alternatives exist now. PV + battery is cheaper than new coal plants even in northern Europe, and almost everywhere has better solar than northern Europe.

> So we created more carbon than existed? Are you familiar with the fact that matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed? Carbon existed before as animals and other biomass, and you are saying now that the total biomass of the planet is not enough and we generated CO2 from thin air?

They are called “fossil fuels” for a reason. We dug up fossilised remains which were not part of the biosphere.

> The dearman engine is zero emissions refrigeration truck, and runs on nitrogen. It is not being adopted into more developed countries despite being better, because of legacy vehicles.

It’s a heat engine, and heat engine efficiency depends on the difference between the hot side and the cold side. You maximise efficiency by running as hot as possible, not as cold as possible. Hydrogen and batteries are both better.

> So making more expensive technology for carbon capture is more economical?

You’re the one suggesting carbon capture (that’s what planting trees is); I’m saying don’t emit carbon in the first place.

> Even at the cost of $50 a tree, its 50 billion to stop worrying about carbon emissions.

Except that as I already told you, a billion trees isn’t enough. A billion trees is about three months of emissions, even assuming you prevent the trees rotting or burning at the end of their lives. If you just turn them into wood, that only delays the problem by a few centuries at best.
Ask yourself: what is the difference between a database and a programming language? The question is worth exploring.
I think Keynes was misunderstood massively like Karl Marx.

Marx said "I am not a Marxist" when he saw his ideas being put into a something bordering a religious teaching.

And later, I think, Keynes was rather unsettled with how his works been used to legitimise a new maxim "government can print money out of thin air," from an inverse of what dominated US economic thinking before him. It was not his idea at all.

Beyond simply affirming that aggregate demand thing exists, and that a lot things in economy spin around it, he did not produce a religious edict on how to run a government monetary policy.

If he saw Keynesianists today, he would feel rather disappointed.
Low background lead was recently mentioned on xkcd[0]. Maybe that circled back to HN?

[0] https://xkcd.com/2321/
I do think the starting paragraphs with background information and contextualization is really impressive.

I can definitely see for example Wikipedia injecting a knowledge graph and having a system like this output full articles in X languages automatically in the near future.
I asked you 2 questions and you do nothing but rant about everything else, subjects that could have been brought up respectfully but instead are rammed down like font vomit. Do you actually expect me to read or treat any of your supposed facts with any respect after you constantly contradict yourself, insult anyone who disagrees and rant about subjects others aren't even talking about? Who cares what a rude person says?
They're treated like investments partially because they have special tax advantages that other investments wouldn't have. So part of the long term solution may be to actually treat them like investments.
I'm not arguing that it's a good thing, I'm observing that all successful platforms engage in these practices. That implies that there might be a causal or evolutionary link between the two.

Again, I'm not arguing that it's a good thing, but there is evidence (not proof!) that if you don't engage in these practices then you won't be successful.

Consider two mailing lists with content equally well suited to their audiences. One engages in these practices, the other doesn't. The one who engages in these practices has more information, and therefore has more opportunity to tailor their content more precisely. Under evolutionary pressure, the one engaging in these practices is more likely to survive.

I'm not arguing that it's a good thing, but I'm saying that there are reasons why it's turned out like this.

I was playing with AI Dungeon tonight to get access to GPT-3, and one of my many experiments ended up with me meeting a character called the Narrator who believed they were in control of all characters in the game, including me. Eventually, through my predicting what they were about to say by checking and undoing, they seemed convinced I wasn't another character and started asking about whether certain authors were still alive and which I liked to read. It didn't recognize Ishiguro. Later it gave me a truly bizarre (and amusing) summary of Infinite Jest, clearly having never read it. Anyway, the entire experience was uncanny and surreal.

One thing I learned was it has detailed knowledge of the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, seemingly through fanfics. It was fun having it to teach me the lost arts of pizzabending ("form your hands into the shape of a letter 'P'" and so on, and needing to practice by juggling rubber pizzas) and beetlebending ("always remember that to beetle bend it helps to like beetles," my wise uncle suggested). Each of these tended to precipitate a narrative collapse.

The writing style was surprisingly homogeneous, and it reminded me of young adult novels. It would definitely be interesting to see it with other writing styles, beyond the occasional old poetry.

Ah - yeah - I though the graph was about patients who report persistent symptoms not the whole population. If indeed 60% of all Covid patients have fatigue and 40% breathlessness after more than 60 days - than it is scary indeed. But we don't know how the 143 patients where found - are they random people with Covid or are they only hospitalized Covid patients? With 8 millions we should really have better stats.

Once it's done (tm). And there are other projects higher on the priority queue.

However, note that I also use OOP. No inheritance (death to gobject!), but the whole thing is based around interface polymorphism. This actually simplifies the design significantly. And you can implement an imgui on top of it pretty easily, if you really like hidden state.

Americans military is an evil, out of control force. If you can't comprehend why someone would think that, you haven't been paying attention to the smoking piles of innocent bodies laying under the rubble around the globe.

And while your endless ad hominems don't really add to the conversation, I will say this: if you think America is defending anything with its military, you've not been paying attention. Nobody is threatening America with military aggression - everyone is sick and tired though, of American hegemony and would like, very much, to see you start taking care of your own people before you bomb millions of other innocent people into oblivion, as you are doing.

War crimes and crimes against humanity cost the American people, too.

Defend your almighty military all you like - it is after all, a massive and overwhelming force.

But, in the meantime, there are kids within your own borders starving to death, and for the cost of a single B1 flight you could've done a lot to bring America's social health care system up to world standards. That is an example, precisely, of how America's criminal military is robbing its citizens, blind.
We present engineers with equations, in physics we derive them. Maybe doesn't seem important to outsiders but the distinction is very important. There are no engineers studying general relativity, I should add.

If your book jumps straight to mathematical machinery, read another book - different authors have different approaches.

We know the tools are incomplete one way or another - there probably is another conceptual framework, just that no one can come up with one yet that we can test on earth. That conceptual model still has to fit the vague shape of a scientific theory i.e. predictions, hypothesis etc.

You may be surprised how little framework there is to modern physics - there is a rich mathematical basis but at it's core there aren't many (if any?) assumptions to it (by which I mean glaring ones I.e. we assume space is flat for QM because it practically is). We don't have a handle on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics yet, but part of that is that it boils down to philosophy in a sense and physicists generally don't spend much time thinking about it. Shut up and calculate is very tempting because there is a huge amount of calculating to be done.

The idea of low income housing is itself ridiculous. Why are there no low income Porsches? There's plenty of places that don't need affordable housing because housing is affordable without the government tearing the fabric of the free market. Lots of places that didn't have affordable housing didn't overinvest in houses like Texas where the houses remained stable compared to the heavily populated areas with high density.
Seems pretty close to passing for me. Certainly if I was just playing with it myself it wouldn't have occurred to me to ask it gibberish questions, and I'd have thought it was a person.

It gets things wrong that people might get wrong too. Here's one you probably heard:

Quickly answer the following.

What color is a fridge?

What does a cow drink?

Cows don't drink milk. But many people will say milk, perhaps because they are primed by association.

Also, part of me thinks NOT getting math right is more of a Turing test pass than getting it right immediately. It's pretty easy to think of a calculation that no person could do in their head, but a machine could either find or calculate in a second. It's kinda like how you might put on an accent to fit in with a certain group.

I'm not under any obligation to conform to the social standards of someone who defends the very real military evil that is being committed, every single day for decades, in their name.

Show some respect and dignity: look for yourself just how bad the situation with the US' military really is. It is a heinous shit show, and Americans should be shunned around the world for supporting it. That is already happening, and is only going to get worse as your country, like any psychopathic organism, rips itself apart in order to prevent further evil ...

If they wanted to ensure the buildings around then would not change, they should have bought them too; the idea that your house value is supposed to be protected by the state is ridiculous.

Standard spoons for cooking are are much bigger than regular table spoons, and their volumes are clearly marked. There's no room for confusion.

Besides, it's not easy to convert from grams to spoons on the fly because different ingredients have different densities, and the density of powdered material is different from that of a solid block. The same problem arises when converting spoons to grams. The worst is when you encounter a recipe that has been converted from spoons to grams (or vice versa) using the wrong densities. It's like encoding an image in JPEG. Every conversion reduces the precision of the numbers.
Yeah absolutely, they're doing their best with the information available to them. That's why I'm hopeful that all the recent news around persistent symptoms will improve awareness and make more resources available. It's a nightmare situation all-round and I have full sympathy for the situation doctors are in.
You should research Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic encephalomyelitis.

The medical community, from my experience, does not handle this type of diagnosis well.

I’ve experienced post-viral fatigue symptoms that lasted well over 8 months, and almost all doctors I visited (ranging from primary care to neurologists) suggested simply rest and/or believed it was depression related (even though I have never suffered from depression before).

I hope your wife gets better. Remission from these symptoms is possible, but sadly, I don’t think you’ll get more information out of the doctors.
When I was young (before 9/11, I was 12 or so) the pilot crew of my EasyJet flight from Amsterdam to Geneva invited me to the cockpit to see. I was flying with my grandma and it was my first flight ever. I love flying and the machines, being in the cockpit as a 12 year old boy was so staggering and inmense.

Then I didn't fly for years, and about a year ago (while being 24) I started traveling more. Suddenly while being delayed at Amsterdam airport the cockpit crew of my EasyJet flight to Split invited people to the cockpit if they wanted to see. I waited 2 minutes to see if any children would come up and then decided to relive my childhood memory and go to the cockpit.

Another time while on a KLM flight to Bangkok I gave the cabin crew a bag of chocolates as a thank you gift for the good service. I did the same thing when flying back from Bangkok to Amsterdam as a thank you to get me home during the pandemic (this was end of march). Both of the times they personally thanked me, the first time I even got one of the little houses they give away to business class passengers [0].

My point is, those human moments do exist. It is just that most people don't 'want' them anymore because that means that it should come from themselves. (No one was standing up to go to the cockpit, nor was anyone else giving candy to the cabin crew). I am sure something changed after 9/11, things like being in the cockpit while flying isn't an option anymore. But with what is going on these days, I can't complain about that.

I have to admit, maybe I am a bit biased. If it weren't for my small stutter in intense situations I would've probably been a pilot. :-)

> I believe it uses Prolog rather than Datalog (I'd be interested to learn more about how they differ).

Datalog is the positive, function-free fragment of Prolog, i.e., what Prolog offers over Datalog is negation and “value invention” through function terms. One consequence of that is that deciding whether a Prolog program entails a fact is undecidable (i.e., Prolog is Turing-complete), deciding whether a Datalog program entails a fact is can be done in polynomial time with respect to the size of the database.

Who's gonna pay for it? The government? How do they get money? Taxes? So we pay the government (they of course pay the federal employees and some pork barreling) to pay for affordable housing?

Indeed, the main problem is that many of these beliefs are based in cargo cult or urban myths, most people that take the effort to actually dive into new areas with open mind instead of looking for reasons to displace it, come out with new perspectives in software development.
