Arguably one reason causality research in the machine learning community hasn't boomed is there is no framework/ease of access to quickly code up the current heuristics/patterns/graph models like you can do with a deep learning idea using pytorch.

Ironically enough, it seems like you're confusing cause and effect here. The reason that there's little causation based reasoning isn't because there's no automation for it. Rather, the reason there's no automation for it is because it hasn't boomed.

The reason deep learning based ML for image recognition boomed is because you could take a fairly database of images and categorizations and produce an impressive and testable system using straight forward if challenging optimization procedures. Because this approach has boomed, huge amounts of money have flowed to it, lot of people have been hire, and it's been semi-automated and so you have a combination of data and frameworks that let you things quickly. Some high percentage of all the achievement of current ML is leveraging the original static ability to sort images (or sort buckets of bits) into different areas (Alpha go - sorts moves into "good" and "bad" and adds tree pruning, etc). Which isn't to discount it, it's the first sort of system can seem "as good as human" in certain areas.

But when there's no similarly easy and impressive procedure for taking, say, a time series, and getting the next result better than human or traditional statistics can predict, there's no boom, no gathering of public data sets, no easy automation of the standard procedures and so-forth.
I didn’t mean to imply that you were opining on the program itself, only that my reply was limited to noting the contradiction between the article title and the distinction it makes in the body. They are basically saying “our title is a misnomer.”

“Guaranteed minimum income” is an existing term, and a more accurate one for what this currently is. UBI means “available to all citizens,” and while there’s some leniency for pilot programs, which this appears to be, it is unclear from the article if the goal is to transition to a true UBI.

I generally assume the same thing about quotes, I only thought it was worth mentioning due to the title discrepancy, so I was surprised to see it in the article itself, and since this is a hot-button issue I think fewer people will read the full article before commenting.

Similarly, we could defund the police if everyone would just stop doing crime. And think of what we could do with the defense budget if we made some agreements about war!

Any strategy which depends on complete cooperation of a large number of humans for success, well, I would short that stock.
I couldn't agree more. Retiring reactors before a green replacement is available has been a total disaster for Germany. To be honest, I'm pretty agnostic as to what the replacement is, but at least keep them going until it's available.

For the massive amount of demonization nuclear got, it's still being developed and moving forward. Modular nuclear reactors will be the next leap, which will provide cheaper and faster to build power plants.

Wind, solar are simply a vogue for the look-at-me trendy selfie people, a political platform for the ones seeking easy office, and easy cash grab for the sharks. All these are transient things that will eventually go away. Nuclear is the only viable future as far as current physics are concerned.
The IRS itself are thieves and corrupt officials.
If somehow the IRS found out that you and your buddies were doing this elaborate stealing-to-borrow plan, they could slap down tax evasion charges on you since that's definitely breaking the spirit of the law.

But that's a pretty big if ;)
If people outside of the LENR community could ever reproduce any of their experiments it would be a good start.

I don't think the hundred or so scientists at a bunch of disparate universities are part of some conspiracy to push quack science, but something is up when there is no theoretical framework that even begins to explain your results, no one outside of your community can reproduce it, and your results are still just "well that's weird" vs. "we have something we can build off to actually produce energy"
Yes they are, and I cannot begin to understand the insane support for them.
Funnily enough I tried to look into Causal Analysis because I thought it might be applicable to something I'm working on.

What I found was exactly like you said, a bunch of theory which was kind of interesting but didn't seem very practical at all.

Lots of DAG manipulation without actually explaining how to gather data and model a DAG yourself.
So I think you're proposing, enter your number, get a code, send a text to a special number with that code, get a text reply and enter that. Then the service has done their best job of validating the number before they validated it.

Of course, getting a working incoming number for all countries worldwide that doesn't cost users an arm and a leg to message is not exactly easy.
We have no idea what kind of "whole brain emulation" it would take to produce what we understand as intelligence, so all this seems highly speculative.

Not much detail on decision making. But bandwidth and overtaxed servers are blamed throughout this and the other two articles linked near the top, and their bespoke chat and radar programs seem to make it worse. When will they distribute observation data through some swarmable system like IPFS? Yet even the rogue Alabama office recommended siloed Slack rather than something open.
With enough wind energy couldn't energy transfer between countries and energy storage help? After all it is always windy somewhere. I know energy storage is hard and not enough alone but couldn't for example Sweden and Denmark transfer energy back and forth and only use other energy sources as backup?

Ethiopia is probably the only nation in Africa that has not been dominated by foreign powers.

The reason is the topography. Ethiopia has lots of mountains, like Switzerland and it is painful to attack.

Any foreign nation helping Ethiopia could mean disaster for Egypt.

They hardly have a monopoly on that opinion. Just lemon juice on the wound though, I suppose. Getting mad and indignant about it qualifies as "continuing to dig", violating the first rule of what one should do upon finding themselves in an undesirable hole.
Yeah. The last 10 years have arguably been something of an outlier but there is no shortage of companies in which a 2010 investment wouldn't have you looking at a nice pile of money in 2020. Returns in fact that a lot of people peddling "accredited investor" type products would probably kill for. And, as you say, a really boring index fund wouldn't have done half-badly either.

I just want to know where these special opportunities are hiding. I do have an investment that pays me an annuity from an endowment that includes some less standard investments. But, while they get good returns, they're nothing truly out of the ordinary.
There is a more concrete reason. The IRS actively defends people who have tax documents used against them in court, because if those documents can be used against them in court you can no longer be compelled to report income, any income, under the fifth amendment.

But how do you reconcile this with parallel construction? Your divulsion of a stream of income may cause suspicion regardless of its legality and even if it is not directly used as evidence. In many cases you have no obligation to help the government with its job, so frankly it seems like income reporting in general may violate the fifth simply because there is no adequate check on police power.
"Sod going to an art gallery to look the actual paint committed to canvas by the legendary artist over 500 years ago, we can queue up to look at this PNG copy and admire the uniqueness of the cryptographic token some anonymous programmer attached to it recently" said literally nobody ever.

Rollercoasters and Mickey Mouse make pastiches of common things more interesting; creating an inferior copy of a famous thing and trying to compensate for its inferiority and inauthenticity with a cryptographic string has the opposite effect.

This is not my understanding of how the tax code works. If the garage sale is not part of a business and you are selling an item you used for less than you paid for it, you generally have no reportable income. Everything I could find online seems to agree, [1] for example.

Do you have any sources?

Here's an alternative view:

- Apple is a $2T company, that we trust with our data. That valuation is in part based on that trust. It's entitled of Apple to produce a product that contains shitty exploitable symlink handling and continue to have no meaningful repercussions (which is true in the industry as a whole).

If this was a bug in a small, under-resourced FOSS email client, or the exploit required many highly skilled person-years to find, maybe I'd feel differently.
The IRS does not share information unless given a subpoena. But regardless, you don't have to tell them where the income came from, and they won't ask.
Sure, if 50% of the mass of the resulting explosion burns up in the atmosphere it's a huge win, but maybe not enough. But if it was as big (or bigger) than the dinosaur killing object (there's some debate if it was a comet or asteroid), it might just split into a few pieces that will come through the atmosphere intact.

Generally if it's a planet killer you want to take no chances. The earlier the detection the better, and changing the albedo will work if it's a sand up to a solid rock.

I've heard similar proposals with a "gravity tug", but it's not clear to me that it would work with a significantly larger change in velocity than just using the fuel directly. Keep in mind that the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was approximately 10km (some sources) to 15km (other sources) across, and we have no reason to think that future asteroids might not be bigger.

The largest atomic crater I could find was from a 104 kiloton bomb that created a 400m wide and 100M deep. Both the USA and Russia has similar tests, and that would be just a small dent in a 15km across asteroid. Both were from 100-200m deep explosion, and it's not clear if deeper would necessarily be better. Sure you might crack a 15km long asteroid into two pieces, but it wouldn't help much. Vaporizing a 15km asteroid is going to take WAY more than 100 kiloton.

What might work is some kind of nuclear engine that melts stone/sand/ice and ejects it at high velocity, working it's way into the center of the asteroid. It would need a throttle to only fire when it helps and idles when it doesn't.
Egypt literally dies as a nation without Nile water.

Uganda purchasing SU27 advanced long range fighter bombers and Egypt recently placing increased emphasis and resources on training military units(including western training efforts) responsible for upstream Nile force projection is not a coincidence.

Nile resource sharing is a massive flash point.

I recall glancing at an engineering report that indicated clearing/dredging swamps in Sudan could significantly reduce mile water evaporation and increase downstream flow.

But at massive environmental and financial cost.

Perhaps it’s time to stock up on Egyptian cotton sheets now, since the future of Egyptian cotton may seriously be in doubt.

Tough choices to be made amplified by the need for them to be across sovereign borders.
1G has been around so long that it's cheap commodity hardware now.

10G was too much of a leap, IMO, so the hardware remains expensive. 10G over regular Cat5e is also relatively power hungry.

2.5G and 5G arrived relatively recently to fill the gap with the stalled jump to 10G. You can get started with something like a $110 QNAP 2.5G 5-port switch and some cheap 2.5G adapters on the computers you care about.
Misnomers in C (2010)
I don't think many people consider nuclear "clean", certainly no conversation I've ever seen has ignored the waste or the other immense lifecycle costs, and if we had enough time left I'd be all for focusing on transitioning solely to renewables.

But of all the realistic options left on the table ones that include some amount of nuclear baseload seem the least bad.

China still has trouble transporting renewable energy from where it is generated (in the west) to where it is needed (in the east). They are trying to solve that problem with UHV transmission lines, but they aren't there yet.

Nuclear plants can be built close to where they are needed, it's an advantage over renewables.

Maybe Sudan would help Egypt. They use the Nile's water too.
Yeah, I'd say that's true of most things that are too complicated to be understood by a single individual.

In the end, it's all about the collective. It needs a consensus to move forward, and that doesn't need to be perfect, just good enough.

The whole human civilization works mostly on subjective conclusions, sometimes a minority brings up enough facts/proof to change the established consensus, but often we just pile layers upon layers on top of things that are not objectively true or not completely true. But they're good enough, and we're very adaptable.
The parenting motto is “make it easy to be good”. For kids at least this starts with sufficient healthy foods, enough sleep, and some autonomy over ones own actions.
I never had a job where I did but it happened sometimes (eg solving a critical problem together, or pair programming in new projects to learn). I found it hugely stressful: it made me anxious to have someone waiting for me to collect my thoughts, and work twice as tiring.

I would probably refuse some a new position if there was the expectation of constant pair programming, but I'm curious if others have different experiences.

> if your friend/family _steals_ the money from you and repays it later that year, they could potentially get a short-term, interest-free loan without incurring the tax implications

If we want to close this loophole (if it's not closed elsewhere in the code) - I feel like the logical way to handle it would be to treat it as if they stole the imputed interest as well. I don't think § 7872 applies, but this would be in the spirit of that section to balance things out.

So, you'd treat the transaction as though they stole the item plus the interest required to "borrow" it, and then only returned the item without returning the interest. They'd need to report the imputed interest as income (since they stole it!), and you could report it as a loss (since they stole it from you!).

In the vein of "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country": how can we help?

Not at all. Before the Internet -- up through the 1970s and 80s, this isn't ancient history -- people moved around all the time, stayed in touch with people near and far, went out for all kinds of entertainment and events. Nobody said, "I can't do anything because I don't have the Internet."

People used the information sources that the Internet replaced. Cities had daily papers - often more than one - with huge thick classified ads sections -- filled with little ads placed by individuals for a few dollars -- that were updated every day. Then there were neighborhood and special interest weeklies, with their own classified ads. The income from all those ads supported more papers, each with more writing on local events. There were magazines and newsletters on all kinds of esoteric topics. And bulletin boards at cafes and shops. Libraries had the newspapers and phone books of other cities, and some of the magazines and newsletters. Radio stations, too, had announcements of local events.

And you would have a network of friends and relatives and acquaintances, and visitors to all of them passing through. You would call them on the telephone and write letters. Many would respond promptly because they, too, wanted to stay in touch.
Oh how timely, Gavin Mueller, the first author mentioned here, is part of a this panel tomorrow https://twitter.com/SciSocJournal/status/1368662709923966983 with Aaron Benanov.

My take from reading some of each is that the disagreement is more superficial: Benanov has a soft spot for what automation could be but is very much keen on chronicling the economic context it's actually gone down in, while Mueller likes to criticize "actually existing automation" itself.

But, I guess we'll see how it actually goes down tomorrow.

> I'm no lawyer, so I don't know if there's a way to make a law invalidate another, other than by putting it in the constitution as an amendment.

Congress needs exemptions to not be affected by the laws they pass e.g. OSHA specifically exempts the US (and thus congress). Which means congress could pass a law preventing themselves from passing certain laws.

Though of course they could always repeal it first, I wouldn't think "unrepealable" laws would be constitutional.

I guess my thinking is combatting climate change is going to cost more than $10/mo on the electrical bill, I pay like $5k/mo in tax and apparently most people in a similar financial situation can't accept an increase of like 0.5% of what they pay in taxes to avert climate change.

$10/mo is very little, and the fact that we can barely get majorities of the younger generation to say that that would be okay is disheartening.
