Everything old is new again.

As far as I can tell, they're not actually proposing how to achieve this. I can't access the article without a host institution it seems (is there another link?), so I only have the article to go by. RL has been the basis for all robots engaging with the world, and that engagement with the physical world modeled using RL has been promised to make robots that can act like a 2 year old for a long time (see Cynthia Breazeal's work, for example). Yet AFAIK, we haven't actually achieved this as we don't know how to efficiently model the problem to have learning rates that reach anywhere near what we're able to do with DNNs today.

Perhaps someone who has access to the paper can say why this is a milestone? If Patricia Churchland suggests it is, then something new must be happening here.
I also would not buy a smartphone with wheels that sends millions of data points per hour to a foreign server.

This is one of the best responses. What a fucking hugely sensationalized title. They think they can manipulate is thinkers too. They think we are largely still human and will follow the same pathways with more repetition and pressure. I can't wait to watch this site crumble.
Don't put words in my mouth. Pens don't have to be expensive, just not cheap garbage. Same with notebooks and so on. It's about having the most basic tools to do your job.
The whole premise of NeuraLink is built upon this assumption and nobody found it weird...

By the way, I wonder how the NeuraLink team will work around that.
AFAIK web notifications do not exist on iOS.
> how much of the current productivity is the result of relationships that were built in the office.

IME these relationships are a function of how much time you spend talking with people and not of physical proximity. At my last job the person I was closest too was on another continent. We worked quite closely so I spent way more time talking with them then some people that sat a few feet away from me. We knew each others lunch and break schedules better than the people we ate lunch with.

There is a tendency to talk more with people next to you and only zoom someone for direct work discussion, but in both scenarios there's room to force some socialization. In our line of work we even have tools like pair programming to enforce these relationships.
OK, but what all will it include?

Will it include my auto insurance, since if I'm not driving why am I paying for insurance? If there is an accident will it cover my deductible? If the car get stolen, will it drop the thieves at the police station and come back to me? and others..

If it's just driving me from point A to B, no thanks, I can do that myself.
And here yet again an example of how the system is rigged against the poor and stacked in favor of the rich. If you have enough (and get stolen enough), then you get help, otherwise, too bad.

I understand that there’s a resources allocation problem here and the current solution is prioritizing bigger crimes. But given the resources of the victims, maybe the priorities should be inverted. Help the people that can’t pay for their own investigations, or just charge for the investigation services in proportion to the “size of the crime”.
Humans are not machines. There will always be some kind of bias.
That would be a rather rude way of putting things; generally you want to avoid insulting your customers.
In practice, humans don't make these decisions and autonomous cars won't either. They'll default to brake and stay on the road, lacking other options, because it's the simplest option and doing aggressive dynamic things to try and prevent a bad outcome to outsiders is not really likely to have a better outcome.
I agree. If you do something for others and it is not appreciated stop it. You could still document for yourself. Before you leave write about 20 words what could be done for the next working day, for example. Have a log of these leaving words then it becomes a diary of work. Just find out what works for you.
Surprised this isn't higher, that's basically "back full time" to me but with a shorter weekly period. Very different than what I understood reading the headline.
In terms of productivity per worker, Germany does pretty well.

My guess is that because there are all sorts of limits on how much people can work (there are lots of holidays here) so the industries that tend to survive are those that are highly automated, and have high productivity per worker.

My feeling is that productivity-per-worker is essentially a political choice. Low skill, low automation labour is inherently unproductive, but it's also flexible and it doesn't require any strategic direction from the state. High skill high automation jobs are very productive, but they are brittle - if the market moves, all that skill and tooling becomes worthless.

The German (also Japanese) approach isn't all sunshine and rainbows, though. In Germany, for example, a pack of ten paracetamol costs like four euros. That's about a 100x markup from what paracetamol actually costs. This is because in Germany, pharmacies are protected from competition, to preserve the sector. The same is true of taxis, for example.

When I worked on the 757, it was 45%. The whole justification for the 757 was lower fuel burn due to a new wing design and new engines.

The same for the 737MAX.
Apple still primarily makes money from hardware sales. They'd rather get you working out, buy an airpod pro, and subscribe to fitness+ than spend time on Facebook.
I mean, this language stunt is quite harmless, but you can only appease the rightwing nationalist a certain way, before you become one of them.
Honestly, “[Anything-s]cientists have discovered a phenomenon that they can’t explain” is like the least clickbaity title ever. It’s basically equivalent to “Scientists have had a good day at work”.
I actually have watched a number of his videos, and while it is considerably better than the Tesla self driving, it's not something I'd currently pay to experience vs driving myself (or vs an Uber at a similar price point). The driving style is still too awkward and, to me, discomfiting.
"What could go wrong?"
> My reading of a lot is always more than 50%

So if I said there were a lot of homicides in NYC last year, you would think that over 4 million people were killed?
I try to follow the url in that thread but it gives me a "Sorry, but we can’t find the page you were looking for", is it just me? Here's an archive link https://web.archive.org/web/20201113005029/https://www.wefor... It was an interesting ready but a bad way to start the day.
At 8.50/hr, that gives you about ~53,000 miles of autonomous range for the same price as Tesla's add-on price for "full self driving ($10k surcharge).

To me, an upfront $10,000 surcharge seems less scammy than what VW is offering, despite it likely being cheaper over the lifetime of the vehicle.
There is I believe also a theory that suggests that the brain actively rewrites and combines/compresses memories to make them more useful. That also fits in well with this defragmentation concept.
My opinion is that view is very simplistic and unnecessarily offensive to a whole class of researchers. MuZero, developed by David Silver, uses a combination of RL, supervised learning, and unsupervised learning (state representation) coupled with a planning algorithm. It accomplished things far beyond anything unsupervised learning can ever accomplish.

I died reading your comment, haha thanks. And yeah, you're right, that could literally apply to every controversial article on HN. No disagreements here either.
> Rail can transport anything. Containers, tankers, even rocket booster segments.

While I get the idea and oppose oil infrastructure made possible by the greenhouse gas subsidy (i.e., that the gasses are dumped on the public), rail can't efficiently transport electricity. It's not infrastructure for low-carbon or zero-carbon energy (with some possible future exceptions).
Indeed it was hyperbole.
I recently read Stand on Zanzibar (John Bruner, 1968) which trained the military to kill through “EPTifcation”(education for particular tasks). It’s set in 2010 and some (many?) of the predictions are spot on- E-cigs, relations with China, shiggy circuit (dating/hookup apps), widening social divides, scanalyzer (Twitter/Social “media”), militarized police force, corporations with near nation-state power, and of course an AI named Shalmaneser.
As titles go this one is pretty special. It's my understanding that Neuroscientists themselves claim to understand next to nothing about phenomena in the brain. Meanwhile large amounts of what they think they might understand has such large error bars on it won't surprise them to have it all turned over in the future. They claim to have profound second level ignorance, not to even know most of what it is that they don't know yet.

That's kind of what makes the field so exciting, what we don't know is almost all of it! Plus it's not some peripheral thing, it's right there at the core of everything we are individually and collectively. Sadly it's had more than its fair share of charlatans and credulous followers. Sure, the Atlantic, nobody expects them to be any good, right? Well we probably shouldn't but sometimes we still do.
I'm completely ignorant on the topic, are pipelines not easily sabotaged?
If you've been working remotely for decades, you:

A) Have a totally different work experience than 99.99% of folks out there

B) Might have different personality type than a huge chunk of people out there (hard to quantify, a guesstimate of mine would be at least 60%)
Hence the hard-working term "I presume" in my response. Even standard criminal, civil, and family-law courts have massive failings.

That's the question put forward in the article itself, just not framed like yours. The question is if the neurons are just like storage spots then there has to be some mechanism that we don't know yet that does that transfer without losing the information (in the case of RAM, we give the instruction to transfer). That not-yet-known thing is the main mystery here (that is if the neurons are just like storage spots. They can be entirely different as well).
actually, it's "Scientists have a bad day at work." Scientists explaining a phenomenon is a good day at work.

but you're right, it's not clickbaity, except for the elephant in the room, there are way more things neuroscientists can't explain than there are things they can explain.
I think they might have meant to say "may not be valuable advice" (but left out the not). Makes a little more sense as a thought worth posting.
Thats not true. Good documentation is INVALUABLE. Deciphering some arcane manuscript that is out of date and can't cover all the nuances of what could go wrong is asking for trouble when teaching people. Teachers exist for a reason. It's because people learn better from people, especially in the middle of a pandemic where we've been forced to be apart.

General closeness does not guarantee that the binding site was as much efficient.

The SARS-CoV-1 had a spike protein binding very efficiently to humans, but that was not the case for the other, hence the above said suboptimality.

Strasbourg is probably more about economics than politics. Yes it would be a political loss but they could probably find an alternative (e.g. France said they'd be happy to give up Strasbourg if the ECB moves to France instead), the real deal is the billions it brings to the city.
I do think the passenger should be weighed with their bags.

Ultimately the total mass of the person and their belongings is what is being lifted into the air. If there is a dignified way to weigh both, I think that would be fairest.

> I love learning by reading, but most people just want to sit in a classroom and be spoonfed like you say.

To build on this, it's more than just being spoon-fed, it's being told exactly what to do, step by step.

I think this may have several causes, but one I can see is being afraid to take responsibility. "I've just followed the procedure! It's not my fault if it didn't work / brought the site down!". And this comes down to the local company culture.

Presenting a nice documentation, which is more general, although more complete, means that the reader must actually understand what the doc says. Now, of course, they may have been trained by shoddy docs that it's oftentimes an arduous, uphill battle, so they have a knee-jerk reaction to it.

But they also have to take responsibility for their actions, which, in a culture of cover-your-ass above all else, is a tough sell.
Your goal here would be to make it easier for them to search than to ask.

Have a generic link in which they could find most of their answers. When they ask something that's in the docs, reply with a link. When they ask something that's not, add it to the docs, and reply the answer + "that was missing - I've just added it to the docs" to reinforce the fact that this time it was OK to ask and that they helped you improve the docs.

The more someone asks you things that were searchable, the more you delay the answer with the link. If you make it quicker to search than to ask, that'll encourage them to search.

If they still don't change the attitude, let your manager work. If that doesn't bring any other change - it may be time to move to another team/manager.
Sure, but with this you get the worst of both worlds. You pay to own some metal sitting around most of the time and then pay to use it.

Latin is pretty easy to learn. That’s one reason it was a second language for so long.

Latin even has a large amount of texts written at a basic level. Works like Summa Theologica and the Vulgate Bible were written in extremely simple language.

It has a very small vocabulary. There are some weird edge cases (imperative plural, for example), but even they follow common rules.
The Red Cross only did antibody testing which has a significant false negative rate, especially on patients who recovered from mild infections many months ago. That's why getting accurate numbers would require repeatedly testing the same subjects at regular intervals, and also assaying their memory T cells.
Forgot about 'au'; I think the x and t in these examples are misleading, they are just part of the general rule that final consonants are not pronounced (though there are exceptions to that rule).
But you will pay to "own" it.

No kidding. It's clear to me that protection at some level is provided following infection - which simply makes sense.

You'll notice they say - we don't have enough data. Then data is incomplete. Then we can't really say because study was X / Y / Z.

They ignore the MASSIVE difference in your chance of being infected if you are unvaccinated and have not been infected vs many other combos.

Just treat folks who've been infected as vaccinated, they can get booster / variant shots with everyone else when the time comes.
Investigation is not exactly the problem (as the article notes the non-profit investigated it themselves as well). Rather, the problem is enforcement. In our case, it was relatively easy to track the perpetrator. However, there is generally no provision allowing for vigilante justice in such situations. Going to another country to personally threaten one of their citizens over their financial crime will likely not have a productive result.

More privacy than security related, in the way you're using those terms. There are a lot of anti-abuse features, for example, that need to stay secret (yes we know, 'security by obscurity' etc., but nobody knows how to secure an internet forum from abuse, so we do what we know how to do). It would be a lot of work to disentangle those features from the backbone of the code. Actually pg used to use a clever 'hooks' design to keep those things separate, but inevitably they bleed into each other.

If you look at tool rental, it's usually cheaper to buy the tool at somewhere between a few days and a week of rental time. I don't expect any efficiencies to end up with the renter.

It's so bad that it was cheaper for me to buy a wide format printer than it was to pay a print shop for prints to submit to the planning department.
This topic will inevitably lead to discussions of why people get overweight and/or why the fail to lose weight when they try to stop being overweight.

This is a more complicated issue that most people realize. Last year "Nova" had a really good episode caller "The Truth About Fat". It's currently available for free viewing on the PBS site [1]. It is quite interesting and informative.

I wouldn't call $20 a week in gas "barely driving".
The costs are just to enable the feature on the fly in the car you already own, so you will still need to buy gas and insurance.

I sell an app, and people often tell me they can't find their license code anymore. More often than not, these are from Gmail addresses. This may be just because Gmail is popular.

The syntax for me is a drag on the language. Make me spend more than a 2 seconds trying to untangle parameters from function name and you lost me.

What I think made the language special is its level of abstractness. Unless I am mistaken, it is the first language where you could manipulate function as a first-class citizen. This and the ability to use closure. 60 years ago, it was really innovative.

Now, javascript does it...
