This is one of those cases where the word "just" is doing a whole lot of work. You can't "just" away the fact that predicting outcomes is one of the primary functions of intelligence.

If you had a language model that really could perfectly predict what you were going to say next, it would have to have a complete working predictive model of you and your reasoning.

What would computer scientists know about consciousness?
I guess I have a different belief about human-like awareness. I think it's been kind of designed by evolution for functional reasons. It's been built out of networks of neurons arranged in elaborate ways and we've done a reasonable job of providing function equivalence to real neurons using artificial neural networks in the simpler bits of the brain that we kind of understand like the retina. I think as time goes by researchers will plug artificial neural networks together in a human like manner and get something closer to human awareness.

If you think about some of the odder aspects of qualia - how the experience of the colour red is different from green for example, quite a lot comes from red being hooked up to the fainting mechanism - drop the blood pressure at the sight of blood to stop it gushing out - and similar - sexual stuff, anger etc. Basically wired up by evolution for functional reasons.

Common Patterns of Stakeholder Interference – Defend Your Product Backlog
Companies don’t pay financial rewards for doing the data plumbing work, yet it’s often much harder, prone to unusual failure domains mixed with high scaling, and carries more stringent on-call and incident triage responsibilities.

Given that it’s (a) more difficult, (b) more business critical, (c) more stressful and requiring an incident alerting on-call rotation, then “data work” should be much better paid and offer job security and career growth.

Yet no company I know of pays expert modelers & researchers less than expert data platform engineers.

So either the companies know something you don’t (e.g. that data platform work is more commodity and easier to replace than rarer modeling talent) or there’s a free lunch you can get by exploiting the arbitrage opportunity to pay data platform experts more and consume correspondingly higher business value that other orgs are missing out on by putting modeler / researcher higher on the status hierarchy than data platform engineer.

My perspective after many years of experience managing machine learning teams (both platform/infra and research/modeling) is that data platforming is just a worse job. It’s unpleasant and stressful and business stakeholders who are removed from backend engineering complexity and just want the report or just want the model couldn’t care less about organizational structures and workflows that support healthier lives for intermediate data platform teams. Because of this, the pay and bonuses for data platform roles should be much higher, but politically speaking it’s impossible to advocate for that, so it becomes a turnover mill where everyone burns out to keep the existing shitty system running, with comparatively low pay and low autonomy, and so nobody ends up wanting to join that team or do that work.

I've seen enough decisions made in companies to put a lot less trust into "they employ experts, I'm sure they do the right thing".
In my understanding this comes from the fact that many ML is more engineering than science but wants to be seen (or is reviewed as) theoretical research. So it fits the situation in the article even better.
that is very human centric view. Similar to earth being centre of universe.

If I were in the situation presented in this article, I'd simply speak my mind. I'm fairly sure that I've been a good ally to the women and non-binary folks in my life, and that people who know me would be quick to defend accusations of misogyny or bias. And if that proved to be incorrect, I'd re-evaluate whether I was doing enough to further women and non-binary people in the tech industry.

If, as most in this comment section have, you see yourself as having to keep quiet in the situation presented in this article, ask yourself: who would defend me, and who would throw me under a bus, and why? Think long and hard about why the people around you wouldn't rush to defend your character. Ask yourself if it's really that the feminists are out to cancel you, or if there's a sliver of validity there.

You don't have to be perfect. But there's a large gulf between most people's words and their behavior. That's the real root of the issue here. Merely paying lip service to equality doesn't indemnify you from accusations of bias. If you really truly act as an ally, people will take notice and defend you when the cancel culture comes knocking.

It seems like many of these approaches would negatively impact power production from solar panels. If you assume that people won’t dramatically lower their power usage (which may certainly be a false assumption) then you effectively make people who use solar power more reliant on fossil fuels.

It would also be interesting if the article included a cost comparison for this sort of wide-scale heretofore untested geo-engineering against just building more renewable/low-carbon power generation; the latter is fairly proven tech at this point.
It's important to note that you don't need to be able to simulate "consciousness" (raw feels, philosophically contentious, who knows what it's made of) to get "intelligence" (by which I mean powerful optimizing behaviour in a wide variety of environments).

It may or may not be the case that anything intelligent enough necessarily becomes conscious anyway, but there's no way that intrinsic difficulties with simulating "consciousness" could block us from getting intelligent behaviour.

1- Residency: Visas and residency are a big headache. Almost every country makes it difficult to move there, and also unpredictable.

2- Passports: People moving from disadvantaged countries (poor) are often for the look out for an alternative passport.

3- Low taxation: Preferably close to 0 with direct taxation for infrastructure.

4- Online Infrastructure: Can you make a company online? Is English available? Are there services that make companies, take care of accounting online?

5- Banking: Can I open a bank account? A merchant account? Online options for banking.

We are basically an algorithm. In fact we are an 'information' algorithm on top of an instance of a genetic algorithm. AI is the same, an 'information' algorithm on top of an instance of a hardware algorithm.

The selection process that makes up the rules of the outer algorithm and start position of the inner can be said to be different but this is semantics.

So if you are right and an algorithm can never ever gain 'consciousness' as we define it, then we are not conscious.

There are so many of these scams in the wild. I have a former client who is constantly spamming me with "can you check this out and tell me if it is legit?" emails.

My point is that a system X perfectly emulates a system Y if all of its parts are identical, that is, if Y has all the basic atoms of X in the same arrangement.

Anything short of that has to be saying that X is "like" Y in some relevant way. And here this has nothing to do with parameter count, complexity, or anything of this kind.

Here "X" has to be behaviourally similar to "Y".

Animal intelligence is essentially entirely concerned with managing animal bodies and their relationship to the environment; and secondarily, the environment. To do this requires a body (etc.).

No mathematical model over a dataset can emulate animal intelligence, because a mathematical model has no behaviour. A mathematical model can describe an animal, but a description is not an emulation: the formula E=MC^2 isnt a nuclear explosion.

A digital silicon machine instantiates a mathematical formula with an osciliating electric field. There is nothing about this electrical osciliation which behaves anything like animal intelligence.

Not really. The amount of confidence you have grows exponentially with the observed deviation, and that last one grows kinda proportionally to the amount of data you have (if the hypothesis is real, of course).

So there is some fine adjustment possible, but it's very small on the experiments where you need a lot of confidence. There is more margin to judge low non-significant results at the low confidence end, as exponentials grow slowly when they are small.
Well, all good and nice, but we are so far behind on data infrastructure, development, and investment that I do not know how realistic it is to set those targets when the basics are not here.

This is one reason why a company like NPM (or whoever is behind it), or really any company that hosts dependencies, should audit and verify packages and package updates.

I'm sure there's businesses that would pay for a dependency provider that ensures all versions of all packages hosted there are reviewed, security checked and signed off on. With a warranty clause, so that if something like this does come out, they get compensated for damages (if actively exploited). A bug bounty should of course also be offered.

A bit like Apple's app store but for libraries. Or the ideal thereof anyway. Basically a library developer can't just keep spamming updates, they would have to be more careful with what they submit.

And of course, library devs would get a slice of the pie, an X amount per installation.

It probably wouldn't work because people (even large enterprises who cannot afford any security issue like this) prefer free.

Sounds like an opportunity for the country to start on another canal.

It "feels" like a scripting language and is run in a runtime shell environment. But I would concede to your point, as well.
Sure, but if the simulation is starting to walk like a duck and talk like a duck, this argument runs out of gas very quickly.
They don't have to be in the same location. However the farther you are from the site of production the more product needed in queue. Toyota stocks the parts bin on the assembly line from a warehouse on site. The warehouse is stocked less often than the parts bins. Depending on how long it takes to get an order the warehouse has more of some parts than others. Toyota also has extra parts as risk management where they determine that there is a high risk of the part not being available to order. Toyota also shares their order predictions with suppliers well in advance so the supplier can plan ahead what they need to deliver. Toyota also knows their supply chain 6+ level deep, if mine workers go on strike they prepare backup plans for 6 months out. Toyota also does a lot of other things that I'm not aware of to ensure that when they need something it arrives, not a moment sooner or latter.

Toyota isn't the only company that does this. If you supply Toyota they require you to do this in some form, including making your suppliers do it. (this is part of knowing their suppliers 6 levels deep - something they also do to ensure they don't use slave/child labor even indirectly). There are other companies that don't supply Toyota that have also taken this same lesson.

The point is just in time is hard to do right. The simple elevator pitch has many obvious problems that those who do it are careful about ensuring they don't happen.

>There's so many articles about the Canadian property bubble popping that I'm starting to feel like it's some sort of concerted effort by the real estate industry to cool down the market.

From my point of view it's the real estate industry that's propping up the bubble. Evan Siddall came out telling the truth. https://www.thestar.com/business/2021/03/02/canadian-press-n...

Fired immediately because of outrage by the FIRE industries. The problem with Canada is that we taxed all our industries out of existence. We only really have FIRE industries or our economy crashes. There is technically only 1 way for it not to crash. Hyperinflation will fix the problem, though yes grandma and grandpa have to go back to work.

>It was just about to pop 6 years ago when I bought my condo. It was about to pop when values stopped increasing so dramatically 3 or 4 years ago. It was about to pop when the COVID-19 pandemic halted most sales. It's about to pop now because everyone is leaving the cities because of WFH rule changes.

Technically the bubble has existed since about late 90s and worse yet the federal government(Harper) spent significant tax payer money to keep our housing bubble from popping. https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-T_t1vRHF1Wk/Tl_578DBn3I/AAAAAAAAD...

That graph shows the problem. The USA took the hit in the face but we didn't.

https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/households-debt-to-incom...

The problem is that interest rates are so tremendously low and in some countries even going negative because it's a bubble that the governments are propping up. They'll risk everything to not be the last guy holding the bubble. It has gotten to the point that Canada's governments are not releasing financial information and even blocking evictions and such. Exacerbating the problem.

>I wish it would just pop so we can all get on with fixing the root problems.

It will continue so long as the government runs deficits. Everyone gave Kathleen Wynne a hard time about deficits but Ontario's deficits are not going to at least 2030. By Ford... the guy most likely to balance the budget. Meanwhile Trudeau's deficit of ~400 billion in a single year is equivalent to about 20 years of government debt.

The deficit problem is so bad that they are planning to simple print money. If your debt is locked in at 6% or so like ours is. If inflation is 50%. The problem goes away quickly. They will do that before letting our last industry fall. Especially given our taxes are so connected to the value of what is on the property.
Ehhh Christian churches are some of the largest charitable donators in the world. Unless those taxes are going to the same places to help people I'd vote no. The government isn't going to spend it on things that help people and we know that.

The point isn’t whether JIT meets “their reliability guarantees and budget the best” — it’s whether what companies guarantee and provide is best for society at large.

That a company benefits from JIT is irrelevant to what OP was saying and your “trust the experts” response is a non sequitur.
