> DeepMind has a tendency for hyper inflated PR

Can you point at some?

AlphaZero (emphasis: AlphaZero, not AlphaGo) is probably the most significant AI breakthrough of the last 25 years (maybe more - I think it's more significant than AlexNet on ImageNet) and there was very little hype about it.

AlphaGo got quite a lot of PR, but a lot of that came from the Go community, especially in Korea.
just for clarification, I don't know for certain, but it sounds like this is what they are talking about in science-journalism speak:

https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=25262458&goto=threads%...

So they bootstrapped the phases of the X-ray diffraction pattern with the phases from AlphaFold. This does mean, though, that we must be critical - it is possible that they are converging to nonsense that AlphaFold has generated. To be truly sure, you must have some sort of independent confirmation. Might still be "good enough" depending on what your application is.
Maybe. As a rough estimate I'd place it closer to the top 10% of the US. The 1% threshold is around $500k, whereas the 10% threshold is around $100k, which is pretty luxurious most places in the US (confounded by the fact that higher CoL areas have higher incomes).

On the other end of the spectrum, 50-70% of US families were living paycheck to paycheck even before covid, so I'd be moderately surprised if the top 25% could afford whatever they wanted at the supermarket.

I didn't say numbers don't matter. I just said your numbers don't matter, because they aren't relevant. It's on you to prove that the numbers you seek are relevant.
I would say that high risk requires high returns.
I was expecting actual debunking but it just turned into a weird tangent. The reality is that extracting surplus value from the labor of others and keeping it can and is validly seen as exploitation. We have just normalized it. In capitalist businesses the owners of the business get to keep the surplus value guilt-free and they are not obligated to divide the money to laborers. Laborers arent always in a balanced relationship with businesses so they can’t gain any of that money back without some form of unionization.

This is something I woulda liked to read but I felt it took a weird direction.
This doesn't strike me as anything that needs to be buried. The energy argument is tenuous and at this point models use relatively little compute power. The language bias is a better tack but I don't think this is earth shattering to anyone. Most of the internet is from Western sources and some fraction of that is racist/prejudiced. I think this is obvious to anyone who has ever used the internet.
You think that's crazy? For additional craziness: Many of these wood houses have literal flames in them (gas furnace and water heater). In a wood house. And we (almost) totally get away with it.
Basically yes. The very scungeiness and corruption of East Cambridge leant it charm. It wasn’t like Yale or Columbia, wealthy walled fortresses in poor neighborhoods. Nerds and blue collar folk lived tooth by jowl. And Kendall square was a wasteland of decaying industrial buildings and weed-filled concrete lots.

I went to high school in Boston (the city on other side of the river) which was much more dangerous. At MIT I never felt my life was in danger.

> The amount of informal play that athletes do may also be a predictor of who goes on to become elite. A study comparing soccer players who were offered scholarships from Premier League academies at age 16 with players who were released found that the two groups had accumulated a nearly identical number of hours in practice at their academies. But players offered scholarships had spent more than twice as much time per year on informal soccer play — games with family and friends in local streets and parks — than the players who were released. The NBA has also noted that informal play exposes children to more variables — like different roles and positions, court sizes and numbers of players — which can accelerate skill development, creating “smarter learners” used to adapting.

This seems like such a strange thing to conclude. It seems like this could be driven entirely by there being a much larger variation in the number of hours of informal practice than the number of hours in formal practice.
That sounds kind of cool, though I’m not very familiar with emacs so it looks a bit strange to me.

Does it essentially create the emacs equivalent of an html form, that you fill out and it then adds what you added to preconfigured text files, with the path to the file you were looking at when you triggered the template?
Sounds like the “editor” or analogous person didn’t wait to hear back from the “referees”. Whose fault this is is not made clear.
It's proportional. The excess mortality increases by ~10% across the board but the base mortality rate for younger demographics is much lower.
Huh? Right not to be murdered is right to life, which is exactly the same as freedom of speech. You have it unless someone else infringes on it.

Those are very different from healthcare, which is not something you have unless it is infringed. Healthcare needs to be actively provided for you. When you can very clearly put all "rights" into one of the two buckets, it's pretty clear there is a real distinction.

I think your timeline illustrates another point: fashions are always changing.

And fashions also come into play in these judgments. I will eat my 8G-networked collapsible VR headset if, 20 years from now, people aren't horribly cringing at the popular 2020 notions of "solving climate change" and "working for racial justice".

Not because of whatever feelings I have towards those advocacies, but because even their currently-"cool" instantiation is largely driven by fashions.
DoreenMichele, one of the few people I can call a true realist in this world.

Barring the sexually-violent upbringing, our journeys have been very similar -- yet, the models ingrained into our psyches, different.

I feel it's a matter of temperament, how we look at these things.

Some are predisposed to be "glass half full" or "glass half empty," on an infinitesimally-parted scale.

I believe the most influential of these is: "I'm right, and everyone else is wrong" vs. "I'm wrong, and everyone else is right."

Or "I must learn how to make others see my way" vs. "I must become as others see me."

It's difficult to par it down to an intuitive phrase, but it's essentially whether or not you give in to the "pressures" of the world, or continue to rebel against them.

Whether or not you want to drink the Kool-Aid or sell your own.

At the end of the day, everything around us -- all its meaning, and the way our neurophysiology has categorized it -- is an illusion; it's completely made up.

You can believe whatever you wish to believe, so long as it's been registered before, in some way, shape, or form.

The comments in this thread, and the prevailing zeitgeist that being homeless is some great tragedy is one prime example.

I believe it's not.

Suffering or the lack thereof, is pointless. At its core, it's simply a heuristic your genetics have supplied you with, to make better certain you will survive and reproduce. Like any other heuristic (hunger, thirst, perhaps even suffocation), it can be overriden with enough conviction; whether you should or should not, is another matter.

I'm reminded of Pavlov's dogs. The more you resist against being broken, the harder it will be to bounce back when you do.

So, in a Zen Buddhist sort of way, let go -- it's unimaginably freeing.

For those of more stable temperaments, let the local fire department burn down your house for training, along with all of your belongings inside. I assure you, the results will be splendid; and all that baggage you've carried around -- material, and otherwise -- simply vanishes.

Poof; gone!

You have no past any more. There is nothing left to tie your sense of self down, and you're free to decide to be whatever you wish -- with the aforementioned caveat in mind.

Surviving great suffering makes the less trivial in comparison; so too does facing the fear of death make all others disappear.
The State of CSS Survey 2020 result
I worked as a run-of-the-mill engineer at Google and was involved in publishing a paper externally. We couldn't do it the first time around because we finished only 3 days before the external deadline and there wasn't enough time to get it approved internally. This seemed to be very standard around me. People were actually submitting well ahead of time and to me it seems like that Gebru expected the rules to be bent for her if she realistically believed a single day would be enough. Let me just point out that this is a standard practice even in academic research at universities when larger teams are involved.
I'd be careful, pop culture references are anathema here.

>How is it going to be worse if Jeff Bezos is worth $50,000,000,000 instead of $180,000,000,000?

on the inverse, how much worse has it gotten since Jeff Bezos went from $50b to $180b?

It keeps coming back to the fact that there is such a focus on "wealth" or whatever.

That's like asking "how is this tax bad if it literally makes more tax revenue?" - the answer is that it will have unforeseen consequences (or even foreseen by a lot).

>Economic prosperity, a broad middle class — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal.

Since we're talking about taxes... I checked out the section called "Tax Policy"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal#Tax_policy

It literally says here:
The bill imposed an income tax of 79% on incomes over $5 million. Since that was an extraordinary high income in the 1930s, the highest tax rate actually covered just one individual—John D. Rockefeller. The bill was expected to raise only about $250 million in additional funds, so revenue was not the primary goal. Morgenthau called it "more or less a campaign document". In a private conversation with Raymond Moley, Roosevelt admitted that the purpose of the bill was "stealing Huey Long's thunder" by making Long's supporters of his own. At the same time, it raised the bitterness of the rich who called Roosevelt "a traitor to his class" and the wealth tax act a "soak the rich tax".

The only other thing is:

My Million Dollar Domain Hobby
I read the abstract. The paper doesn't critique Google. It critiques the current focus of AI research of building bigger and bigger models. Google is one of the leaders in building those big models. So what? They also invest in research to make smaller models that perform equally well. They have a huge incentive - those big models are very expensive. I don't think anyone at Google really care if the paper is published. I'm pretty sure it will get published sooner or later. The authors could've addressed the reviewers' comments pretty quickly and then re-submit to another conference. The whole thing blew out of proportion. She picked the wrong battle. Should've bitten the bullet.
If it works, has all necessary features, no significant bugs, and still performing all functions - why change? Especially since the change to modern technologies will not guarantee to produce a better result in terms of features and stability. The change is necessary if the system unmaintainable, buggy, or can't be easily interfaced with other modern systems.

While this is a lot of electricity and CO2 to consider, is it fair to compare them to cars? I don't think this so much means that one should get rid of training these big models but rather do their best to ensure that the data centers that these models are trained on are getting their electricity from mostly 0 emission sources. This actually seems like a doable task since you don't need to be physically near your compute cluster. I think Google and Facebook could also turn this into a PR move by putting some research money into green tech (ambiguous).

If tapping Share -> Apollo isn't ideal for you, there's always the web extension route. You can hack the Sea Creator sample code extension's `content.js` file to replace https://*.reddit.com/ with x-whatever-apollo-url-prefix-is:path/to/reddit/comment if you're serious about doing this in iOS Safari:

That's using their modern extension model, so you could compile it onto your device yourself for testing. The WWDC talk is here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10665/

It might be possible to ask Apollo to include this, by providing something like the above comments as a feature request. I'm not sure what Apple would think during app review, and Apollo might not be willing to risk it.
