I very much appreciate proof that we don't need modern frameworks as much as people claim we do.

As for ES5 support, would you consider using something like Babel to be close enough to using polyfills to consider them? Transpiling ES6 into ES5 fixes your compatibility issue with ES6 just like I would argue adding a polyfill for WebP images would.

Thinking the Way Animals Do: Unique insights from a person with a singular understanding.
By Temple Grandin, Ph.D.https://www.grandin.com/references/thinking.animals.html

>.... A horse trainer once said to me, "Animals don't think, they just make associations." I responded to that by saying, "If making associations is not thinking, then I would have to conclude that I do not think." People with autism and animals both think by making visual associations. These associations are like snapshots of events and tend to be very specific. For example, a horse might fear bearded men when it sees one in the barn, but bearded men might be tolerated in the riding arena. In this situation the horse may only fear bearded men in the barn because he may have had a bad past experience in the barn with a bearded man.
I kind of love this crude analogy.
How to Do Great Work
What's acceptable is subjective. What should be accepted is subjective too.

Languages, just like software (both are symbolic systems), require maintenance. If either is used without conscious intent, it accumulates debt. We know very well that technical debt can be a PITA.

Trump did not send the army. He sent federal law enforcement agencies to defend federal property against rioters when local governments failed to do so.

> sterilizing women in border camps

The allegations of forced hysterectomies were not supported by the evidence, which is why the story dropped out of the news so quickly.

Just because many more humans spent many more years and many more $$$ building GPT-3 for your convenience.
Related, here is Raft's (another distributed consensus implementation) documentation: https://raft.github.io/. The interactive visualization helps with understanding how it works.
High level reasoning and planning about what you are writing about. GPT-3 generates text one word at a time. The results are impressive for what it is. But it will not plan out what it wants to say ahead of time and construct the message to achieve that objective.
It may surprise some folks here on HN, but in the real world, the vast majority of people don't care if merchants "know who they are". I'd bet that there are more people want merchants to know who they are than there are people who explicitly don't want them to know. But that said, the vast majority simply don't care. Just my opinion, of course.

Actually, Music is STEM, in the true and classical sense - it's only our perverted modern view that has severed music from its moorings in mathematics.

It was even part of the quadrivium of medieval education: Arithmetic, Geometry, Astronomy, and MUSIC! A classical education not only taught these subjects, but how they were all inextricably interrelated (or intertwingled, as Ted Nelson famously says...)

> The opposite would be ideologically weak parties doing a form of clientelism that would change according to the trends of the day.

Like the Southern Strategy, the Blue Dog Democrats, Tea Party, and Donald Trump (party-switcher).

Look at the radical positions calling themselves "conservative" today, getting more extreme since the 1980s when religous extremists stated taking over the Republican Party.

One-third of US voters are Independent not registered to a party.

The US electoral system forces to parties, but those parties change and are sometimes replaced.
Cluster membership is specified before initialization. It's possible to change membership but this requires achieving consensus on the membership set by running paxos.

As to your question, it really depends what you mean by "survive". Paxos will not make progress unless it can achieve quorum, usually set as the majority of nodes. However it won't corrupt data either (multiple different tx values being chosen during consensus). It is thus a good fit for non-adversarial environments where you own & control all the nodes in the cluster and want to gracefully handle common faults (nodes losing power or crashing, network messages lost).

If your go-to examples of male touch are reserved for brief celebratory gestures and "inappropriate" touching, then it would seem you're not effectively making the point you're attempting to make. Neither of these examples indicate that touching is normal, common, or considered appropriate.

Why did you think they would? Do you often find truth by generalizing from exceptions?
Amazing https://www.lightest.app/c/TcsZkj6krE
Agreed. If we had a European style system where a master's + PhD could be done in 4 years versus the insanely long duration of American PhDs, the whole system would be better off. Of course, faculty have no incentive to graduate their students quickly (they are trying to amortize the year or so of ramp up time). It really has to be up to the funding agencies to refuse to fund any students beyond year 4 unless there are extenuating circumstances.

It mostly comes down to security vs performance. If you have a fully trusted workload, you may decide not to use sandboxing, since using solutions like gVisor often leads to performance issues on unoptimized workloads.

For most use cases runc is probably a better choice (and can be reasonably secured, of course not in the same way).
How did they react to this as humans with human pride? Sounds painful.
>Wow, $120 for a premium shift today is so much cheaper than 10 years ago. I could be wrong but I remember reading back then cabbies we’re paying around $220 and in some cases not even getting a cab to drive as they were all taken.

Note that I didn't say it was $120 for a premium lease, I said $120 for a night shift lease Sunday-Wednesday, with premiums on top of that for Thursday-Saturday nights.

What's more, the Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) that regulates Taxis and For Hire Vehicles (FHV), has capped the maximum lease rates, since every time the fares increased, fleet owners would raise lease rates to take almost all the additional revenue.

I'm not claiming that folks make lots of money driving medallion taxis in NYC (in fact, the bottom has pretty much dropped out during the pandemic).

Rather I don't think that the analysis in the article is nuanced enough to make any comparisons with Uber/Lyft and other FHV drivers.

You're not wrong. The retirement situation (excuse my french) is seriously fucked through a combination of events [1] [2] [3]. Pensions were great, because you couldn't ransack them as a participant. Social security is great because you can't cash it out. Most Americans can't or don't save enough for retirement (as humans, we suck at planning for the future, at least most of us), and a large proportion if the retired population lives on and is kept out of poverty by Social Security [4]. Pensions could have been sustainable with more realistic return assumptions, greater contributions from plan participants, and strong firewalls between the corporate sponsor and the plan. Instead, 401ks were sold to everyone and things turned out about how you'd expect.

With that said, I think making tax advantaged accounts more accessible to your average person is a net win, even if we have a lot of work left to do to encourage good long term financial planning and behavior. Some policy I've been modeling is if you take an early distribution from a retirement account, the penalty goes towards your social security benefit. You still want to discourage folks from touching retirement savings, but that also requires more robust social safety nets so there are fewer events when citizens are financially bleeding out in the snow and need to tap those accounts.

>Everything remotely related to Chinese becomes under attack "because CCP bad".

Which is why it is reasonable to discern between the CCP and China. I don't see sinophobia in criticism of the CCP. The counter-argument you present is closer to the straw man you're criticizing.

Jack Ma is a CCP member. The CCP has a centrally planned command and control economy. Major players cannot exist without the sanction of the CCP.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46353767
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-alibaba-jack-ma/alibabas-...

Concerns about the CCP controlling a global payment infrastructure are not anti-China. Please stop conflating the two ideas.
The Kurds and Turks are for sure still killing each other, and Turkey is expanding further into Kurd-controlled areas in Iraq & Syria. And Afghanistan is and has been a failure; the Taliban have been regaining land and power, and further US withdrawal from Afghanistan will set it back to 2000 ( the war and misery would be for nothing ). One of the primary missions in Syria was to oust Al Assad, but he is still in power and controls near-entire Syria. Iraq is still a war hotbed, and it seems like more entities are joining the fight to control it. Then there is also all the proxy wars, for example, Yemen.

The peace accords are for sure good for the region and are setting it on a brighter path. But the US deserves no credit for withdrawing or starting new wars.
And none of this is to dismiss or "whatabout" China's horrible actions but lets not lie to ourselves about the actions of US and allies - We have committed plenty of evil.

> The solution is a platform that doesn't have these mismatched incentives (either paid for, ran by donations, etc) but that otherwise has the user experience of the mainsteam platforms.

The argument by people in favor of this stuff is that federated technologies best avoid and resist those mismatched incentives, because any centralized gatekeeper, not matter how benevolently founded, always has the temptation to ignore it's charter and become a rentier.

Think about the recent .org debacle, or even the Mondragon Corporation employing non-member labor.

> having a few extra hoops to jump through seems like a good idea.

I think that there is more to that. You need to consciously type the name of the repo that you want to remove. Windows used to add a lot of jumps to get something done, and the result was mindless clicking the "yes" button and realizing 1 second later that you deleted important information.

That extra hoops need to be cognitive meaningful.

No, Don't lie.

Just tell them that you don't want to share it. Or, tell them that you can't share it if it's confidential.

But, share explicitly your expectation with them, and ask them to share range that the they is considering for this role with you to see if it makes sense to continue or not.
> Maybe a bit too seriously but that's up to discussion.

But that is they key here.

My brother in law is like that, a really good guy and handsome as well. But he takes this perfect partner thing to such an extreme that he's been single forever. Also, he has personal issues that would stand out if he was in a relationship. He thinks that by entering a perfect relationship those would be non-issues, but that's the thing -- there is no perfect relationship or person, and by entering even meh-level relationships you can see your own issues and perhaps fix them -- if you really want a relationship, that is.
I wonder what he thinks about using it in automated theorem proving: https://twitter.com/spolu/status/1303578985276887042
I don’t know what speech tech will be good for, probably a lot of things, but typing I think will remain as the preferred mode of communication indefinitely. It is already the more sophisticated approach. Using speech is kind of trying to use a new kind of paint that only works on paper to also work on cave walls. Nevertheless we might discover something in the process.
All the supposed "simpler" consensus protocols I've seen just hide all the complexity somewhere (like raft with its leader election). Where does streamlet hide its complexity?
I agree that GPT-3 should not be used for medical applications, but I disagree that it's "not very good" as a dialog system. I've found it to be insanely good though it may require effective prompt engineering to work well.
All long term financial planning is terrible on all accounts - look at people spending $200k to get an English degree at a private college. Fixing human nature is tough.
I'd actually compare GR at least closer to something like Asheville, only a bit smaller. It gets decent concerts, has a nice craft drink scene and lots of fun places to go, but won't compare to some place like a Chicago or Seattle if that's what you want.
Google's continued meddling with adding useless content on the new tab page is what pushed me to Chromium Edge. (The weird little news snippets on the bottom with no way to disable them was the first of these poorly-conceived experiments.)

Edge has a ton of awful content on its new tab page too, but there's an option to turn it off which makes all the difference.

In recent years, I have been conditioned so that every time I hear the words "Believe me" I know the persons is lying.
To remind people: Yann LeCun is an engineering superstar who was working on neural networks at Bell labs long before they were cool.

Those handwritten digits that are a scourge today (e.g. 'would any of these methods work on a different set of symbols?' is unasked) came from a competition to develop a commercial zip code reader for the U.S. Postal Service post back in the day of the Apple Newton. He won it!

I was a bagman for text classification data in the early 2000's and his reviews of the results you got using methods of the time (Naive Bayes, Rocchio, Perceptron, SVM) showed a depth of thought and attention to detail which helped me pick and choose tools to make classifiers with fairly predictable performance and development paths.

GPT-3 on the other hand does a good job of spouting nonsense like Peter Thiel and that has something to do with it's emotional appeal. People make fun of it and laugh at the mistakes it makes like those videos where somebody kicks down one of those Boston Robotics dogs: it's just good enough to be an object for those sort of feelings.
One thing I've been wondering, could you train a GPT-3 model to generate "better" text prompts for another GPT-3 model

By better I mean grading based on whether there is any nonsense in the output or any internal contradictions, or similar criteria
Page 238 has the key intuition. But to really understand it you will need some build up to understand linear functions.

Matrices are simply a way to write down linear functions, and matrix multiplication is function composition. All of the algebraic properties of function composition are therefore true of matrices and vice versa.

That intuition also explains why matrices come up so often. For example consider Calculus. The key idea behind the differential calculus is that if y is close to y0 then f(y) is approximately f(y0) + f'(y0) (y - y0).

In the multivariable calculus the same thing is true. Except that f'(y0) is a linear function. Which means that when we write it down we have to write down a matrix.

I mean you're misrepresenting what I said. I'm not handwaving away what they say as brainwashing. I'm just saying that the gov't has an inordinate effect of influence on their population. I don't view propaganda as a gov't drone on the TV telling you what to do ala NK, but just like the US, it's this permeating effect in the media and culture.

I don't think every Chinese person thinks exactly the same way. But if you just look at the effects, they have a way of stirring nationalism that we do not have. Trump tried so hard to do the "China Virus" thing and look where that got him. And it's disingenuous to suggest because they can't hand wave away social problems inside the country that they somehow have "weak" influence. It's not an all or nothing.

I'm curious what you're readings are on things softer things like the NBA ban over the tweet, things like ban on Korea products over THAAD (less off an over-reaction, but still), arm twisting Chinese/Korean actors/stars to support their worldview (see BTS stuff going on), Blizzard, etc. I can point to l0s of other examples where it is indeed an "over-reaction" on their part. This isn't even scratching the surface of their harder initiatives like in Africa.

The "trajectory changing" as you mention is basically the rest of the world submitting to how China sees the world. And to be honest, I don't think that's "unfair" or anything, it's what they do as a country in position of power. It's also a cultural thing, pride, etc. (my personal opinion on this as well). I'm ethnically Chinese so yeah, I understand the mindset to some extent.
Personally I do not find the whole "language = knowledge" argument convincing. But if you're interested in reading writers who make that argument (and perhaps I'm vulgarizing the argument a bit), Nietzsche makes it in On Truth and Falsity in their Extra-Moral Sense and George Lakoff makes it in Metaphors We Live By.
What do you expect when you use a browser made by an advertising company?
Agreed. Years ago when I worked at Unisys, it was reported to HR that upon leaving an interview at our Training department the candidate overheard "We don't need any bitches working here!" and general laughter. That was Friday. On Monday morning that Training department didn't exist. All 6 employees dismissed instantly; the department functions farmed out to different groups. Some of those employees had worked there for a decade.

But at a startup 10 years later, after interviewing a recent graduate from the local college I asked our VP Engineering if she was a fit. He replied "Did you see the guys around her? If I hired her, we'd get nothing done around here!" I was appalled. He later became an executive at Carbonite.
I am relieved that I am not the only one. I thought it was something to do with my phone, the browser I am using or something else.

The question isn't whether high-altitude planes can go to the moon, it's whether human intelligence is closer to the clouds or to the moon. For all the talk about how language models "just" learn correlations, there's a remarkable dearth of evidence that humans do something qualitatively different.
Well, you want something more low-end for developers' and hobbyists' machines, I would guess.
> Some people have completely unrealistic expectations about what large-scale language models such as GPT-3 can do.

Just want to point out that he's saying the people on the upper end of the expectation distribution are wrong, not the people in the middle of it. So if you're takeaway from this is that GPT3 is nothing special, that's probably the wrong message.
I'm curious why you feel it's justified? I use it and haven't had any reason to be suspicious.

It's open source and MIT licensed.
You're correct. It's only autocomplete on steroids. But I think it's remarkable that something with the very simple goal of autocomplete can, for a few sentences, sound almost alive
Hooks are new but they aren't really that complicated. The junior developers on my team were more or less up to speed after a couple of hours reading the docs and a couple of hours implementing their first hook based component.

Our app is still using Redux, so I guess that one hasn't hit us yet (but there's also no real reason for us to update to a newer method).
They would say that but it doesn’t change the fact that they make people around them uncomfortable. They may have a right to speak but they don’t get to claim other people’s emotions are wrong or nonexistent.
