>I think I could say similar arguments, but for supporting privacy, instead of transparency. The imbalance of power absolutely arises from the information asymmetry, but we can't really design a system where everyone is equally watched, because some will have ways to hide some of their information, and therefore increase their power, and by that power hide even more information. Until you deny humans every form of autonomy, they'll have ways to achieve this, and will strive for this, and so transparency not just doesn't work, but in fact makes the power imbalance even worse

Embracing and learning on how to adapt on transparency is the only feasible way. Technology is always progressing. As technology progresses information becoming easier, cheaper, faster to transmit.

Good luck trying to stop the progress of technology.

Yes someone will always try to hide they can try but its going to be come more and more difficult and increasingly costly.

>Also, I don't think you can embrace transparency, no matter how much you'd like to, because of how humans work

what do you mean by this ? How human works in this context according to you ?

>but the importance of privacy is recognized in places like the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights,

Just because its written there doesn't mean its set in stone.

I certainly disagree that privacy is a rights.

>Or, looking at the opposite, constant exposure can lead to things like the Chilling Effect,

It can lead to that but then we should fix those thing instead of privacy

I'm not saying that transparency can solve everything. I'm saying that we learn/adapt on living with transparency.

>which, in layman terms, means always-on self-censoring due to constantly being watched,

When the root of the issue is fixed, the need of self-censoring is disappear.

Lessons from 3 YouTubers That Have Gained 1M Subscribers and 270M Views in 2 Mo
The medical school in the city I grew up in had a policy of taking the students with the highest marks in last year school exams. That was it, no other judgement.

One year this would mean that the intake would be solely one ethnicity, and it was not white.

So the policy was abandoned for a more rounded approach.

These days the medical schools try very hard to make the population of graduating doctors look like the population they are going to treat.

This drives the (rich) parents of white students who just miss out getting into medical school extremely irate and litigious. But so far it has withstood attack.

The results are not achieved by different standards for graduation, but by different standards for admission.
I’ve noticed most the re-uploaded content on Reels are from meme accounts and not the actual TikTok user themselves, which leads me to believe its shortcomings are more of a content and cultural issue.

Instagram has become way more formal and people’s profiles are carefully curated now. Posting silly trends or going on live on Instagram would be a form of social suicide for many.

That's not so bad then. I don't know many (any!?) places that would let their teams count that though, so glad to know some places do.
The mistake you're making is to assume the two types of craft have similar-enough shapes that you can mix up surface area and volume. But even though a heavier than air craft has a lot less volume, it doesn't have to have less surface area. Planes are pretty flat, and have a much higher ratio of surface area to volume.

A small delicate plane can weigh less than 50 grams per square meter.

Or we could look at planes designed for human-powered flight. Those are ruthlessly optimized so you know they have no more surface area than necessary, and they weigh well under a kilogram per square meter, even if you added a motor on top.

The balloons google was using to lift mini cell towers, at 50 feet wide, had about 2 cubic meters of helium per square meter of surface area. So about two kilograms of payload per square meter. And if you made it bigger you could turn that into five or ten kilograms per square meter without even trying.

Is it extremely hard for a blimp to beat an airliner, which even for a plane has a small surface area? Yes. But lots and lots of other plane designs lose to a big blimp. Some of them even lose to a small blimp. Especially slow planes. And this is only talking about reasonable plane designs.
"I see no reason that this technology couldn't smoothly scale into human-level intelligence, yet lots of people seem to think it'll require a step change or is impossible."

I am a big fan of LMs and am not in the don't really understand crowd, but here are a couple of reasons:

1. Large language models such as GPT or Codex still have several major architectural limitations. They lack the ability to make use of long-term memory, since they have a fairly limited amount of info they can take as input; GPT 3 is great at short stories, but can't go beyond that, and it's hard to prime it with a lot of information as you would eg a new employee. There is some work on this, but afaik not very much and it's very much unsolved.

2. Large language models have only gotten this good by ingesting massive amounts of data and scaling up compute. Yet, this growth comes with diminish returns for every order of magnitude. So it just not being to scale either the data or the compute needs sufficiently (with existing hardware architectures) is a very plausible reason.

3. Large language models 'have it easy' because they only deal with one modality (text). Humans intelligence on the other hand is multimodal - we can process vision inputs, sound, touch, etc. sound, etc. simultaneously and share concepts between these modalities. And we likewise output motor commands that result in motion, text. So far it's not too obvious how to achieve this - OpenAI took a step with DALL-E, but that was by just mining a massive amount of image-text pairs, and it's not obvious this is easy for other modalities, in particular for motor control.

4. Human-level intelligence is often framed as having system 1 (reactive output) and system 2 (longer term reasoning not in response to immediate stimuli) - this is not at all present in language models.

5. related to above two, at least some of human intelligence is derived from reinforcement learning (optimizing a policy that is multi-step with a delayed reward). This is much harder than the plain self-supervised learning of LMs.

And probably there are a bunch more like these. So while I do think these sorts of models represent a lot of progress, there are many reasons to be doubtful that just 'scale it up' will work to get much further.
fMRI uses the highest powered MRI machines with perhaps slightly higher quality and calibration right?

Has there been any improvement in the baseline quality once you exclude the dubious groups?
In absolute terms, if these tools are useful to you then you most likely make enough that $25 is an inconsequential amount of money.

But relatively speaking, with 1) no way to preview functionality; 2) no way to preview code for quality; 3) the inability to get a full refund if they turn out to be garbage; 4) having to download executable instead of just running them in a browser (even though they're apparently written as web apps); and, 5) not having any idea who this person is, it's a big ask.
awesome, thank you for the leads. I'll do more learning :)

> also don't think its reasonable to expect trans content to perform as well, given that a substantial portion of the US population still doesn't want to recognize or legalize their existence

1.) A substantial portion of the US population doesn't want to recognize or legalize the existence of trans people? What are you talking about? You're aware of some faction that's actively trying to make being transgender illegal?

2.) Your expectation is that content produced by transgender individuals (less than 1% of the population) is on aggregate as popular as content made by the remaining 99% of people? Do you mind defining the distribution you would consider to be acceptable here, as well as why you think it currently isn't your desired distribution?

Well OK, you said they had sued every logging plan without exception. That seems like an exaggeration. I'm looking at a USDA document right now that says 50 million board feet were harvested in California in the first 90 days of 2021, and last year totaled 2.5 billion board feet nationwide. Maybe that's not as much as you'd like, but it is still the case that timber is harvested in every forest, every year. The entire purpose of the USFS is to provide wood products to America. They aren't parks.
It's great to this an initiative like this.

Following the expulsion of Jews from Israel by the Roman's, Jews spent ~2000 years as smaller communities in Europe, never quite integrating.

Regardless, it's not both. Setting aside how the algorithm was created, it's incorrect to say that an algorithm "created with ML" is itself an ML algorithm.

NeuralHash was so named because it was optimised to run on the Apple Neural Engine for the sake of speed and power efficiency.
Lol, the good old "the real answers are in the classified docs". If there was any meat there it would have been leaked ages ago. Literally no one wanted to know what really happened, the answers would end too many important peoples careers.
No matter what we do, the delay is inevitable, but the time is variable. A lot of PR optimistically claims we won't have to wait more than 20 years, but from what I understand it's more like 40-50 in the scientific literature, and up to 100-200 years with worst case estimates. I'm not an atmospheric physicist, however.

> When you emit carbon dioxide, the climate stays altered for a long time," says Solomon Hsiang, a climate scientist who is the co-director at the Climate Impact Lab at the University of California, Berkeley. "And so we kind of have to deal with that baggage no matter what."

"There's some amount of heating that we would continue to experience," even with dramatic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions. It will take decades for forests, oceans and other natural systems to soak up all the excess greenhouse gases that have accumulated in the atmosphere.

Should we never have used GPS because a good map won't lead you into a desert? Should we stop using phones because a one-to-one conversation may end up as dead an art as Latin is a language? Not everything that was done before was done for the right reason. Not now or even then. They were done mainly because there was no other given choice or someone on a high chair said so and signed his name on a piece of paper declaring it as law.

I'd say it's beneficial that those regulations have been circumvented even if I don't necessarily cheer on the particular actors who do the circumventing or what they do afterwards. Innovation is about finding novel ways to get from A to B as speedily, efficiently, and effectively as possible. And if regulations create a roadblock to it, all the more reason to invent around them. After all, there wouldn't a modern desktop if it wasn't for Compaq engineers reverse-engineering and reimplementing IBM's BIOS.
No, it is still base vector but with more structure, and not tuple. I would guess that the parent is talking about the general case, e.g. in (general)relativity where the vector laws you mention are not as simple as you think, i.e. they transform with a “metric” which is not simply the identity (non-Euclidean or non cartesian). It seems to me that this “metric” is a matrix of interunit conversions, though, so it is not that complicated either. In other words, (the Jacobian of) coordinate transforms (in your words, “vector laws”) can be expressed as Base.vector extended with unit conversion. In summary, general coordinates follow a nontrivial vector law where the units for each element of the array are not fixed/the same. E.g. cylindrical coordinates like the parent mentions, the si units are (m, m, rad) which still transform as a vector under the metric mentioned in [1] but which have heterogeneous units

Yes, I do hold that position regarding cash settled futures and similar side-bets, regardless of who offers them. I would also argue that US government agrees with this characterization as evidenced by the restricted access of to these products (e.g. requiring traders to be ECPs and whatnot -- the qualifying criteria for which depends on the purpose of the trades being hedges or not).

(Requirements for qualifying as an ECP:

(1) Entities with $10 million in total assets;
(2) Entities with a guarantor that is an entity which has $10 million in assets;
(3) Entities with a net worth of at least $1 million and are using the swap to hedge a commercial risk;
(4) Individuals with "amounts invested on a discretionary basis" that exceed $10 million, or $5 million if the individual is using the swap to hedge a commercial risk;
(5) An entity who meets all of the following conditions: (i) all of its owners are ECPs; (ii) it and its owners have, in the aggregate, $1 million in net worth; (iii) it is entering into a "swap"; and (iv) it is using the swap to hedge a commercial risk.

You are lucky to work in systems where using all the memory is an option. Our servers have 256GB of RAM and we must constrain the memory of all our java trading robots, and then tune (but if we tune it means we didnt predict correctly) or optimize (which is basically doing what you do in C++ if you re constrained: never malloc to the heap without knowing what you re doing)

As an anecdotal experience tells me here in my investment bank, the algo trading robots in C++ take an order of magnitude more time to get right, change, or fit their constraints than the java validation robots we work on, simply because the memory tooling in Java is really easier to use.
How is that remotely relevant. At any time a senior figure in the CCP can wipe out the company, hire or fire anyone, put anyone in jail, get anyone out of jail, changes it's managerial direction with a memo, outlaw it's entire industry, make legal it's formerly illegal business, etc, etc. There is not even the concept of private property under the hilarious pretext of chinese "law". Everything is "leased" from the government to be taken back for any reason or no reason at all at any time. There are probably a lot of companies the CCP does really give a shit about but that doesn't mean they aren't the ultimate bosses of them.

There are a lot of broken things in the US but it does have some modicum of separation between business entities and the government as well as a sort of psuedo attempt at rule of law.

Yeah, the way planned burns make people anxious and provoke questions about unintended consequences is a pretty good example of a political problem with implementing something officials have known is generally good policy for a while.

That said, there are certainly other areas in which the law has come down on the side of limited-to-no liability for officials acting within certain bounds of reason/propriety in their capacities of office, so it's not exactly unheard of.

Don’t confuse logging in a managed forest with what happens in a “tree farm”. The latter is much more aggressive at logging but also at planing new trees. It’s a business and the land is an asset they are taking care of.
