The UK has two major parties. The fact that the LibDems were in a coalition government once due to a hung parliament (and the last hung parliament was in 1974) isn't really evidence that the UK has more than two major parties. A major party actually has a chance to have a plurality. I also hasten to point out that the LibDems currently have 11 seats (the SNP has four times as many).

Many European countries with non-FPTP systems have coalition governments all the time and there really are several viable major parties.

To be fair, preferential voting isn't a panacea (and arguably should be paired with multiple-representative electorates). Here in Australia we have instant run-off voting and there are still two major parties with even less crossbenchers than the UK parliament -- though our Senate does have a fair few independent and third-party candidates, likely because Senate seats aren't winner-takes-all (like electorate seats are for the House of Representatives). I think voter education is also partially to blame -- many Australians seem to not be aware of how preferential voting works.

This is a similar idea to that of SemanticDB, which is used in the Scala community

https://scalameta.org/docs/semanticdb/guide.html

It is a queryable database of semantic information about the program which is generated by the compiler (compiler plugin, to be precise). Once generated, other tools which need semantic information, like linters or language servers, can consume it without having to worry about how to actually generate it.

Not sure which country you are talking about. I live in the UK and think there's many things we could have done better and many things where we overreacted. I don't think any country has contained the virus, as the virus cannot be contained. We see small outbreaks everywhere, so it's difficult to claim that anyone has contained it. For every country which has done X you'll find another country which hasn't done X and their curves still look incredibly similar. Take Sweden as an example. We haven't heard any news on Sweden for a while, which can only mean that they must be doing well now and looking at their curves they did flatten indeed and their death counts are drastically going down. So I think anyone who is smart enough not wanting to embarrass themselves will know to hold back with any premature clever comparisons until a couple years down the line.

Thanks for the interesting read! It was a bit tiresome (a 38 page history lesson, followed by a 5 page introduction and only about 5 pages of actual content), but very informative nonetheless.

The proposed method is very hard to distinguish from a traditional IQ test (or a subset thereof) and the first to parts (~38 pages) basically serve as a justification for this.

In the end the author admits that the proposed method lacks test diversity, has no established validity and has no way of qualifying results.

The essay just stops where it gets interesting (i.e. at the point where the actual science starts), which left me a bit disappointed in the end t.b.h.

It's a great summary of the history and development of the field and the methodologies used therein.

It's in no way a solution to measuring and quantifying general intelligence, though.
Validate Your Idea- Public Notion Board
Sometimes, I feel like to achieve closure, I'd really need a thread where the people endlessly and repetitively insisting that Brexit is easy, would not impact trade, and would be worse for the EU than for the UK would show the grace of admitting that they very wrong, so very and obviously wrong.

Similar for the beneficial effects of Hydroxychloroquine, for California basically having achieved herd immunity in May, and maybe for a few things from November 2008, although I thankfully don't remember specifics from that time.

Maybe just one thread is more efficient, though, as I suspect the overlap among these groups to be far higher than random probability would suggest.
> What do they know that we don't?

They know exactly what we know: there are a variety of apparent delayed effects, some quite serious, and isn’t clear what the whole set is and how long they take to manifest.

This is a policy based in precautionary cognizance of ignorance, not some special detailed occult knowledge.

Once we have a better idea, the policy will be reviewed and probably eliminated or narrowed to focus on specific issues of concern.

Interesting, the article seems to suggest that he did not have much of an impact until he published a couple decades later.
Nah, I think this might look worse than it is to "always online" types. And sure, it might be the death knell for Twitter and reddit. But it fortunately has zero impact on face to face interactions. I guess the 90s, before social media, before going to the internet for entertainment, before Yelp and reddit for buying advice, were before many commenters here were aware, but they weren't so bad. A reversion to that time period, but with today's ability to video chat with friends and family and the compute power available for, say, drug discovery, doesn't sound so bad to me.

I used to think this way, but now I do front-end (mostly) interviews at a gigantic company and I don't give two shits about motivation. Can you write HTML, CSS, and Javascript effectively, manipulate the DOM, write styles, and dip into a Python/Java backend on a rare occasion? Hired.

Most front-enders I interview can't even add, remove, or edit a div without a framework helping them bind an object to the DOM.
Aside from the UK (which does have two major parties) and Canada (which has only had one of two parties in power for almost all of its history), what other examples are you thinking of? There are very few countries that still use FPTP, the vast majority use some kind of preferential or proportional representation system.
Reading comments on the internet has nothing to do with the test tho. You have to be able to query the agent.

I guess if you accept IQ as a proxy for general cognitive ability, this would suggest the article is right.
On the other hand, I still find it very counter intuitive. The ability to plan ahead and the spatial thinking are things I though would transfer well to other domains (arguably both are not things that an IQ test, or the academic tests from the article, would measure well though).
So, uh, are they police?

That's true. I don't think humans are very good at general intelligence.

Our genes give us priors to evade lions and pick berries. Humanity as cultural organism can reprogram us to more abstract tasks, but it takes easily 10-20 years of training and we are relatively inefficient in them compared to our original task.

But even then. I don't think current in-distribution learning is enough even if we scale it up. There must be something else. We are at least 3-5 Turing awards away from AGI, I think.

You’ve pretty much exactly described someone I know who caught the virus at the end of March as well. Approximately 40 years old, and healthy, and currently is exhausted from climbing one flight of stairs. She finally started leaving the house just a couple weeks ago. It’s been a very very gradual improvement over time, so I suspect that eventually it will go away. She’s been getting some physical therapy to help get her body moving and gradually become more active.
Yes - the Turing Test was intended to further inquiry into what intelligence is; not (as many think) to prove an entity is intelligent.

GPT isn't remotely intelligent, just brilliant at producing a semblance of some aspects of intelligence - which the Turing Test is useful in establishing.
He made the statements with the word "intelligence" but obviously meant IQ points as it is still the only way to measure something close to what we experience as intelligence. Away its not relevant I didn't talk about intelligence I specifically said "differences" because it removes the implicit rating. It should be up to everyone to decide whether it is good or bad or rather irrelevant or whats most likely, it has its pros and cons like almost all other known genetic differences.
The whole "winning side" and "racial superiority" etc. is made up. He obvious could not choose his own race and even put "his own race" in the middle according to his definitions of intelligence. The "winning side" would have been some Asians and he is clearly is not Asian.

He also never proclaimed any kind of race superiority. Pointing out a conclusion of his research can not be racists even if the facts turn out to be wrong because of an error. Or maybe the facts stay correct in case of the IQ differences but other research suggests that IQ points are horribly to measure intelligence. Either way you would need to find prejudice, discrimination or basis IN HIS RESEARCH not in his concussion to convict him of actually being racist.
Errors or definition changes simply should lead to a new concision that would be that there is still a measurable difference in brains but it doesn't directly correlate to intelligence.
In every other similar situation this would be common sense. For example people with Trisomy 21 have statistically significant lower IQs. Its just a fact. No one comes around and screams racism if you state that fact. Also no one who states that fact wants to express their superiority over these people. In fact people who research all this are on the front line to support these people because knowing the differences is what allows coexisting with maximal individual freedom. Denying differences does not help anyone.

>It's social and cultural influences all the way down.
Plenty of research suggests otherwise.
Like I said in my previous post "how likely is it actually that the brain is the same for all?" While all the rest of the human body has differences.
Its actually very very unlikely and reality is almost certainly a mix between social and cultural influences and genetic differences in the brain but also in the rest of the body that affects the brain in millions of different ways.
Of course, the human can simply lend their name to the robot. And as previously discussed, ending anonymity entrenches the existing power structure.
> Brigham Young believed that slavery was ordained of God, and accepted slaves for tithing.

It’s not like there’s an intellectually honest way of getting a ban on slavery from Christian Scripture. Mohamed was over 600 years later and substantially more liberal with regard to slavery than was the norm before him and his religion didn’t ban slavery either. The Abrahamic scriptures aren’t really ambiguous on this. God does not object to slavery as such.
Yeah, GPT-3 never really gives any kind of answer to “why”. It rambles on like Abraham Simpson talking about how an onion on his belt was the style at the time. Devoid of purpose it fills the void with meaningless words until told to stop. It’s subtle gibberish... and fucking irritating as soon as you catch it.

No, measuring teaspoons and tablespoons aren't usually much larger than tea/tablespoons for use at the table.

They typically have shorter but wider handles and different shapes (often semispherical, but there are others).
The process is cherry-picking by definition; you provide a use case and are then selected (or not selected) based on their perception of your merit.

They are a startup. They are looking for funding. By definition they will do whatever necessary to secure that funding.

I don't think you need a ProPublica research piece to prove the validity of that premise.
You do need a guide to prevent people from sending random unrelated message to random handler hide deep inside some random component and emit again to other random component.

It `is` fine to use it and only use on notification purpose, but there is no way to enforce everyone to do so.

More of time it `will` be used in a terrible way that I just described (something like .emit('login') and trigger some random function causing xhr and emit notification everywhere).

You can't really assume everyone will use them nicely instead of resulting in spaghetti code. It is not the case most of time.

The experience I learned from I start coding is. `Anything designed to be easy to mess up will eventually mess up`

Eradication of wildlife.
I interview for front-end at a big company (actually a different title, but effectively front-end engineers) and we explicitly do not ask trivia questions, which is what this guide focuses on. I might ask warm-up questions like "a customer says they click a button on the page and nothing happens, how do you investigate?" and that's it. The entire rest of the interview (1hr) is spent on a coding problem where we both walk through and discuss solutions, and I let them code and we talk about their code.

I truly believe that experienced engineers can learn 1000x more about someone's skillset in the first 5 minutes of them coding than any amount of trivia questions.
Keep in mind, the majority of acute cases happen to people with pre-existing conditions. Deaths have the same profile. Of course there are exceptions. "Perfectly healthy" people can be hit hard.

The articles, and many similar, consistently fail to mention the pre-existing conditions of the people in the study.

Editorial: A couple weeks ago I saw a news story about a man who "survived Covid-19" after 60 days in hospital and 40+ days on a ventilator. They showed him leaving hospital in a wheelchair. He was easily 275 lbs, perhaps 300 lbs.

You don't put on weight being fed via drip or tube. There's a reason it's called "morbidly obese." I'm glad he survived. No one deserves to die. I'm not convinced the virus was his only significant medical issue.

It's time we start being honest about the dangers in the foods we eat and the lifestyles we lead.

Chris Lattner, Tony Fadell, and Scott Forstall probably count as innovators, and they all left Apple.

Bell Labs was a classic blue sky internal research outfit. Modern corporate culture can't quite handle the concept, so modern R&D is more constrained and "results driven."

There's a critical difference between implementing existing ideas and inventing completely new classes of ideas and devices - like the transistor, or information theory as a discipline.

Modern corps do a lot of the former, but not so much of the latter. Far less than Bell Labs used to.

> even today I see no reason why renewal should have to be gated behind login walls.

This actually reminds me on a somewhat interesting social engineering "vulnerability" a little while back[0].

1. The hacker would call into Amazon and say that the website was acting up and they needed to add a card to the victim's account. It wouldn't take much effort because why would it?

2. The hacker'd call right back and say that "their" email had been compromised and they needed to change it/add a new one and reset the password. You supply the card you just gave (and name/billing address, but those aren't too hard to find)

3. Use that to hop on to the account and grab the last 4 digits of the victim's real card.

You now have the victim's billing address and last 4 of a credit card. A surprising amount of authentication power.

I think the lesson here is if it can be privileged information, it is. Even if it's privileged for someone else.
