I am in a somewhat similar situation. I've come to the conclusion that the relationship, the human connection, keeping that open is the most important thing.

Some part of their brain knows that what they're into is deeply flawed but ultimately only they themselves can find their way out.
The field is certainly moving in a direction of infantilization due to the social media attention economy. Your paper competes with cute flashy cat gifs etc. on Twitter. And Twitter is ridiculously important in AI/ML, except perhaps above 50-60 years of age.
The author may not have the necessary familiarity with it. Experience is gained via mistakes too.
Are you actually arguing that we should always communicate every thought that comes to our head? That we should never choose to keep a thought to ourselves?

This does not seem like a good idea in practice. There are lots of thoughts we should keep to ourselves. If you see a friend with a new haircut, and you think it looks ugly, should you immediately just blurt out “hey, your new haircut looks awful”? Why? Just because it is how you feel doesn’t mean you need to tell everyone.

I find the people who insist on “telling it like it is” and who are “just being honest” are often just being assholes.

The largest fraction is the value of the land. The land is not more expensive because landlords own it, rather than homeowners. It's expensive because more people want to live on it, whether they own or rent. People want to live in certain areas, due to proximity to jobs, nice weather, transportation etc.

Homeowners speculate too. It would be hard to find someone buying a home who was not considering its future value.
Why is operating outside of the paradigm of liberal feminism automatically equivalent to vilifying women? There seems to be an insatiable need for liberalism to 'other' those outside of it: critical of feminism? Misogynist. Critical of CRT? Racist. No need for discussion, no need to examine the internal contradictions of the worldview.

It's not unfounded, but MRAs are purely reactionary; they're the mirror twin of their enemies. They replace the "patriarchy" with the "gynocracy" and call it a day. I prefer authentic harmony between femininity and masculinity, but neither of these movements serves this purpose at all (some will object that they do, but both view their opposite as inherently poisonous--within feminism men can only be "good" by "betraying masculinity", and vice versa).
Hey - thanks for checking the book out.

Yeah, you are correct---the book does not cover packaging a Python program as a click and run style executable.

It's definitely a tricky problem. (Depending on the audience for the tools (e.g. if it's developers), one potential option might be to package your code in a Docker image and distribute it that way---although that's not without its own drawbacks.)

Other commenters have posted potential tools to check out too.
I don't want to necessarily pick on the left here, but the most in-your-face example is all the so-called 'wokeness' in the media. This is a conscious effort to promote the 'inclusiveness' or however you want to phrase it. It's discussed openly how do you want people to react to what you publish. Have you ever considered that it might be your own personal biases that you don't see it?

> online communities are often converge to echo chambers

Sure, but that's what OP's paper is about - the way that online echo chambers can be misused to further hateful ideology online. The fact that most people tend to act more moderate and sensible IRL is something else altogether.
Violating a website's ToS is hardly illegal, though.
Information is not — by itself — a form of propaganda, but any "content that relays information" (e.g. an article that uses a chosen subset of the available information about something to expose a point of view) can be considered a form of propaganda.
Congratulations! Maintanability and tooling are underrated topics.
Quite.

Case in point: Budget Airlines.

Ryanair does everything short of punch you in the face. O'Leary literally laughs at his own customers.

And he can. Because what they going to do?
What happened is that any minor offense, misunderstanding, obtuse comment or joke is taken to nth degree by a permanent victim culture that is looking to be offended at everything to highlight how oppressed they are by society.

as to "Suffer the consequences", when a single tweet results in your complete ostracization from society, your lively hood terminated, your safety put in danger, etc well I think the punishment does not fit the crime. I dont care how offensive that tweet was. Doubly for those that have had this happen for comments made 10, 20, or even 30 years in the past.

Neither proportionality of punishment nor forgiveness seem to be concepts that are entertained in cancel culture.

As I was told many times growing up, Sticks and Stones can break my bones but words can never harm me. It seems today we have replaced that valid and correct axiom with "Words are violence" which is a most dangerous precedent indeed. Further here lately I have begun to see an even more dangerous one that is being put forth "Silence is Violence"..
Honestly I'm not sure being "proud of your beliefs" is a great advice. I'm trying to think of beliefs I'm proud of. Can't recall any in particular.

The phrase communicates lack of flexibility, because if they're "beliefs" they're firmly held, and if you're "proud" you won't have an open mind ready to change those beliefs in face of new evidence.

In fact I very often see beliefs and pride be exploited to push propaganda where you get to defend someone else's interests without even realizing it.
When I think back to the me of my teenage years or early twenties, I recognize that I had many strong beliefs that were probably wrong. I think that modern requirements of self-censorship have at least one really valuable outcome. They force people (with jobs, reputations, etc) to think carefully before posting online. I suspect that many people may be like me - they are hesitant to click "add comment" not out of fear of having a mob come after them, but rather because (a) they have realized that their own current opinions may be wrong, and recognize that there is harm that comes from an abundance of wrong opinions or (b) the cost in time of careful self-editing is too high. Maybe the author of this piece would argue that this is a bad thing, but my impression is that it's almost universally the case that if you can't be careful in speaking/writing there will usually be less harm from silence than from blurting out whatever comes to mind immediately.
If you're interested in CSNY history, I highly recommend checking out the Best Show side podcast, "So Far," which recaps CSNY and related albums year by year.

As someone who was aware of CSNY and knew some of the more popular Neil Young stuff, it's been a great way to explore their catalogs in a somewhat directed manner. https://thebestshow.libsyn.com/so-far-episode-one-19691970
I'm interested in this too Karpathy, would love to know. Not sure why you're being down voted Adam.
But it works, for example it got to the top of HN.
I feel like I need to translate because of the over-emphasis on the word "fine." The person is saying after an initiative like this, the landlords and those who were willfully delinquent end up made whole or nearly so, but those who scrimped to pay rent under difficult circumstances end up worst off.
From paper: Tabular datasets are the last "unconquered castle" for deep learning, with traditional ML methods like Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees still performing strongly even against recent specialized neural architectures.

My but this statement seems more than a little grandiose.

Never mind that XGBoost still does well on a substantial portion of ML challenges (supposedly). The bigger problematic is that there's a confusion of maps and territories in this way of talking of machine learning. The field of ML has made a certain level of palpable progress by having created a number of challenges and benchmarks and then doing well on them. But success on a benchmark isn't necessarily the same as a success the "task" broadly. An NLP test doesn't imply mastering real language, a driving benchmark doesn't imply master over the road driving. etc. Notably, success on a benchmark also "isn't nothing". In a situation like the game of go, the possibilities can be fully captured "in the lab" and success at tests indeed became success against humans. But with driving or language, things are much more complicated.

What I would say is that benchmark success seems to produce at least a situation where the machine can achieve human-like performance for some neighborhood (or tile or etc) limited in time, space and subject. Of course, driving is the poster-child for the limitations of "works most of the time" but lot of "intelligent" activities require an ongoing thread of "reasonableness" aside from having an immediate logic.

Anyway, it would be nice if our ML folks looked at this stuff more as a beginning than as a situation where they're poised on success.
> What about the self-censorship of our neo-cortex telling us not to insult other people? Is that bad too?

Sometimes it's bad. Insults are an occasionally useful tool, and can be wielded to diminish the standing of adversaries who might otherwise be more powerful.

EDIT: speaking of insults, this is on the HN front page right now:

From Strike CEO Jack Maller [1]:

Let’s walk through a user story. I want to send $1,000 to a friend of mine in El Salvador:

* When I initiate the $1,000 payment, Strike debits my existing USD balance.

* Strike then automatically converts my $1,000 to bitcoins ready for use in its infrastructure using its real-time automated risk management and trading infrastructure.

* Strike then moves the bitcoins across the Gulf of Mexico where it arrives in our Central American infrastructure in less than a second and for no cost.

* Strike then takes the bitcoins and automatically converts them back into USDT (synthetic digital dollar known as Tether) using its real-time automated risk management and trading infrastructure.

* Strike then credits the existing user with the USDT to their Strike account.

The 48" CX is a TV. It happens to work pretty nicely as a monitor if you have enough space (between you and the display). But in a desktop setting where you are sitting 2 feet from the monitor, you'd have to physically move your head to see all the content. OLED on the desktop means 24", 27", 32" OLED displays.
I think what you are getting at is its better to be rich in the US than the UK, in that I can agree with you on.
Thanks for the book, added to reading list. Currently working on Programming Ecto, really enjoying it.
Titles have to be short, and as such they can't hope to represent the contents of the article completely accurately.
If you wanted to do that you would have to make the title equal to the article's contents.

Based on the parts which I've read so far, a more accurate title would be 'Why some currently hot parts of AI not well understood, and some parts of Physics well understood?'

I think the original title is an ok approximation of this.
> When I don’t get the results I hoped I just use !g. Easy. But the result are rarely any better

This is exactly my experience. I have a "failed" search probably about a quarter of the time. Changing around the keywords can sometimes fix those failures... maybe about a quarter again are still stuck. So, yeah, ~5% failure rate. I inevitably try !g and am inevitably disappointed with effectively the same results (or lack thereof). Google successfully recovers a failed search maybe 10% of the time.
To expand on this, to receive money over Lightning, you need someone else to lock up their bitcoins for you. This is called inbound liquidity, and the problem of users getting inbound liquidity is no joke. Lightning Labs recently launched Lightning Pool to help with this, but fees range from 5% to 25%. Uncompetitive. If you think about it too, it makes sense, because anyone locking up their bitcoins for others should expect a several % return, or else they would loan it out at similar rates. Current Lightning wallets are basically giving their users inbound liquidity for free using VC funds, but is this honestly sustainable? There are other problems with Lightning, like the requirement to be online to receive payments, watchtowers, UX complexity of channels. Some of these are solvable through centralization. But that is why you'll hear people say Lightning recreate the banking model, because realistically that looks like the only way it could work. Oddly, this was all pointed out by many people over the years, but Lightning seems to get endless forgiveness in its inability to deliver, because it is BTC's only hope to maintain the peer-to-peer cash narrative.
So I'm okay with this b/c the government forced landlords not to evict people who couldn't pay. This is just the govt's way of paying it back.

As on a simple thing such as a luxury cruise in "A supposedly fun thing I'll never do again":

"They’ll make certain of it. They’ll micromanage every iota of every pleasure-option so that not even the dreadful corrosive action of your adult consciousness and agency and dread can fuck up your fun. Your troublesome capacities for choice, error, regret, dissatisfaction, and despair will be removed from the equation. You will be able – finally, for once – to relax, the ads promise, because you will have no choice."

Thanks Thomas for the insight.
Not blaming him and not sure whether he had a choice. Just noting a certain dissonance in reality, which I’d assume he also experiences, and wondering how he frames it in his mind (e.g., does he think “yes, my writing is affected by the very thing I describe, but I currently have no other choice”, or “I’m not self-censoring since somehow I have a deal that I can write anything I want, as long as I’m not trying to disseminate it in Russia”, or “self-censorship is a thing happening everywhere now, so Russia or not there’s not much difference where to reside”, or something else entirely).

It’s not quite an elephant in the room, but IMO if he went a bit meta on this it could make for an interesting read (maybe he does elsewhere—I’m not using Substack and not following his writing very closely).
If you think about 10 lines of extra CSS is double the work, then I feel sorry for you son, I got 99 problems but CSS isn't one.

What a nightmare! I swear I had something similar with rsync on a mac once, I was very certain it finished, ran again and it reports it's done. I migrate and I'm missing all these files! Although it was probably my fault, I really don't trust rsync anymore... Maybe it had to do with HFS+ and those strange aperture libraries but man it ruined my day (week).

Sure migrating is 100 times more relaxed when you have the old system running, but sometimes you need to reinstall. I had only one MacBook, now I only have 1 server.

What you could do in that case is just install a new disc, unplug the old one until the new systems is running. It's worth the money and effort.

I'm looking to install NixOS to my Home Server next week. All my personal infra is in Docker compose, on Ubuntu 20.04 atm. I only have one m.2 slot in the server and I don't want to buy a second drive just for this... So I'm sweating already. Maybe I should first migrate to my nuc, then back to the new server... hmmmm...
I’m not making up claims I’m repeating what doctors and nurses have come out and said - they were told to mark deaths as COVID related if the patient had a positive test result, even when cause of death was not specifically COVID related. Many “whistleblowers” (a bit of a stretch since it is not fraud or illegal) have spoken out on this. The CDC changed the policy of an asymptomatic patient’s positive PCR test counting as a a “case” in January of this year. Now, symptoms or multiple positive tests are required. This is hard fact not some spurious claim.

This seems to be combining a couple of studies; the primary one seems to be 40 people over 6 weeks using the petals of saffron (but in another place said "leaves", so I'm not sure which is correct), but it's interesting that the petals have the effect and not just the stigma which is what is called "saffron" for cooking

They also mentioned that it _might_ work by affecting serotonin in the brain, but no one actually knows yet; and in the conclusion they mention how this is only a first step at understanding the effects.

So: looks kind of promising, but by no means a finished study yet. (also there were warnings about taking too much as it can be toxic and damaging for pregnancy so... read that carefully before buying some I suppose :) )
As far as I have seen, so far in my career, this is all 'not invented here' stuff. Most things, like auth go from 'oh no mate, we need 10000x more complicated stuff, that Keycloak thing will never fit!' and then, 6 months later there is something like keycloak but worse, far less features, more complex but replacable in no time by keycloak without touching the keycloak (no customizing) sourcecode. But we cannot because we now invested 6000 hours into it. So now it is ours and we will continue to say it is very complicated and so nothing fits our complicated use case.

Alternatively, tell me your complicated auth flows that will not have users running away screaming and are, therefor, bad ideas and should be replaced by cookie cutter stuff. Because that is where all of these things end up.
Trying to spin a strict definition of propaganda to include all propagation of information is disingenuous, regardless of where the original word came from.

And even then you're wrong, you have to go back much earlier to find the shift in definition of the term. The negative connotation that led to our modern definition originated in the French Revolution, not the Cold War.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda#cite_ref-13

> Academic Barbara Diggs-Brown conceives that the negative connotations of the term “propaganda” are associated with the earlier social and political transformations that occurred during the French Revolutionary period movement of 1789 to 1799 between the start and the middle portion of the 19th century, in a time where the word started to be used in a nonclerical and political context.

Before the French Revolution the term was used by the Catholic church and was considered "an ancient and honorable term".

https://www.historians.org/about-aha-and-membership/aha-hist...

WWI & II made the modern definition we know today popular, but both the American and French revolution guided it there.

This is very anti-progressive and economically idiotic. If landlords can't handle owning without rent, there is a very simple solution: SELL.

All housing is very inflated right now so it is highly unlikely that their equity is under water.

The result of this action is to prop up asset prices and continue to make housing unaffordable for everyone in CA. The only way housing becomes more affordable in CA is to reduce the price of housing - aka reduce asset prices. This doesn't help.
The title is 'clickbait' for sure, but not neccessarily incorrect. After all 'simple' can mean different things to different people. And the author clarifies what he means by 'simple' in the rest of the article.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Damore, he was engaged in free speech. What he said is supported by a significant body of research and researchers. (And opposed by others - as it often the case on controversial topics.)

And yet, he was fired and made an example of. Anyone who publicly says that he had a point got shot down both within companies like Google, and on various discussion forums like this one.

I don't know how or when we lost tolerance for free speech, both as an industry and as a society. But the Damore incident is when I realized that we have.
