Suppose you write a program that simulates a TM and then prints "Halt" when the TM halts. The magic AI could optimize this program to just a print (or an infinite loop). This requires solving the halting problem.

Great we're doing better however I notice most of these are benefits experienced by the middle class and up. How about we do better and also give a leg up for the those in poverty? Even if Macdonalds is serving healthier food, I wouldn't pat ourselves on the back quite yet.
I agree that there are no signs at the moment. Companies change over time, so a certain risk - however small - is present, as with all 3rd party services.

Real people need to pay for tuition/childcare, housing, and healthcare, so what would be the point of excluding those from the calculation of real income?

Yes that's true, the licence alone is not enough.

That said, this "junk" dump can still be used by the community of users to upgrade themselves the software on that hardware, so that's still a nice improvement.

Back to LLVM the question is whether these companies decide to not contribute upstream because they don't bother to make clean patches or because they want to keep it for themselves.

I'd argue that they would be much better off long-term making clean patches anyway, so that's not a valid reason for not contributing.

And even if theynjust dumped their patches, the community could still take them and incorporate nice optimization into upstream.
Well you can’t remove things and then say “See, inflation is fine!”

If you want uneducated children with no healthcare and no affordable place to live I guess things are fine, and that’s pretty much what we see now.
The thing about that is there's plenty of opportunity to not work at a physical workplace as well. Coffee breaks with the boss, trading floor eating contests, browsing some orange website...
... and they geared up for it by releasing two breaking versions in the year leading up to v1.0.0. I managed to catch the entire upgrade path from 0.11 to 0.12 to 0.13 to 0.15. Good times.

Yes, but that makes no sense. Partly because as I said, lots of those components will be mandatory anyway so they should count into the fuel cell system at best only partially, and partly because pretty much the only part that scales with capacity is the tanks anyway. The rest scales overwhelmingly with average power instead.

Eh, I would contend that poorly done semver is still better than date (only) versioning. You can always have date and/or hash as part of the metadata string. As long as you are honest with your team, saying "these are a best-effort to follow semver" it's clear what you are doing. If you are sub-1.0 basically every release is a minor bump anyways.
It’s borderline comical to read such strong opinions about how to version your software.

“One shall not speak of 1.0!” (Not an actual quote).

If 0ver works for your use case, go with it, by all means. It’s sortable (“nat-sortable” to be more precise) and it will get the job done. And so are many other versioning schemes.

Think about your release cadency, how will you release new versions, patches and fixes and then pick one that makes sense to both humans and your code.
What do you mean by "optional"?. You are including it [2] [3] [4] as one of the options (not re-implementation of the original paper [1]) and it is one of the dependencies [4] (Prophet [5] is an open-source library built by facebook research).

I think we should distinguish between science/open-source and policies when we mention open-source projects.

>Conducting scans on device instead of on server is your idea of infringement of privacy?

It's an infringement on my right to freedom of speech. Client-side scanning merely opens the door for my device to censor me from sending any message of my choosing and impacts my ability to freely communicate. What is today child abuse, tomorrow is health information and further descends to political and religious memes, or whatever other content is deemed problematic.

Worse than not using it for navigation is using hjkl for something else. I cannot not press j by accident. Years ago I had to stop using thunderbird for this.
Wow, that’s cool! (and chilling for that flight article…)

I was thinking of an explicit personal instance (which may have selected shared components in a ballpark similar way as the open social does it), because the latest events with Apple triggered me to think again of a deaggregated personal device: a separate unit for mobile internet, a separate unit for GPS, a separate unit for camera, etc., all pushing the data to a “personal network cache NAS”, and replicating to the central personal server. This way the peripheral units can be made quite small, simple and modular, and the complicated logic can sit server side… I suppose it’s quite a drift from what you had as a use case, but FWIW :-)

In practical terms Promises just moved callbacks into .then() instead of a function parameter and encouraged the use of pre-written functions instead of anonymous inline functions. It solves a lot of legibility problems.

It was entirely possible to write nice-looking Javascript before Promises were a thing; people just didn't.
Yeah we experimented a bit with this idea but the overwhelming feedback we kept getting is that devs wanted help with distribution more than they wanted to host a course on their own site.
> About this time, someone usually mocks "it's always about the kids, think about the kids." To those critics: They have not seen the scope of this problem or the long term impact. There is nearly a 1-to-1 relationship between people who deal in CP and people who abuse children. And they rarely victimize just one child. Nearly 1 in 10 children in the US will be sexually abused before the age of 18.

Does CP being available create victims? I'd say that virtually everybody who suddenly saw CP would not have the inclination to abuse a child. I don't believe that availability of CP is the causal factor to child abuse.

But putting aside that and other extremely important slippery slope arguments for a minute about this issue: have you considered that this project may create economic incentives that are inverse of the ostensible goal of protecting more children from becoming victims?

Consider the following. If it becomes en vogue for cloud data operators to scan their customers' photos for known illegal CP images, then the economic incentives created heavily promote the creation of new, custom CP that isn't present in any database. Like many well-intentioned activists, there's a possibility that you may be contributing more to the problem you care about than actually solving it.

Except that it's a lie. Not accepting new feature requests is one thing, but what actually seems to be happening is that new code has been accepted into the master which then never sees the light of day.

> I'm pretty sure a company like Google that has no problem killing unsuccessful products after multi-billion dollar investments, knows how not to fall for the sunken cost fallacy.

Deadweight products vs appreciable assets are not the same thing. Not only they would have to justify throwing away their future returns on appreciation, if the word got out that any of the FAANG is liquidating tiniest bit of their real estate a panic pricing could erase a lot more. This is much harder to reconcile with fiduciary duty than “well, that deadweight product was costing us money with little in return so we’ll kill it”.
They can, but who knows more about the issue in question, Intel who designed it, or a third party? This is also a curse to Intel though: they need to ensure their people actually know something, level one support with a bad script and no access to anyone with more ability will get caught quickly when the third party offers better support and generally can figure things out.

There are pros and cons for sure. I'm not sure what it best.
Unlike C/C++, there is one canonical rustc where the language is developed and GCC will likely always play catch up.
>Conducting scans on device instead of on server is your idea of infringement of privacy?

Why are you asking if the poster still beats their wife?

(More specifically, you're pre-supposing scanning must happen, which by itself is a highly debatable assertion)

Your point with Google is absolutely sound, but you seem to stop short of actually accepting that actual privacy (no peeking damnit) is dead on arrival. This is a case of rhetorical stealth goalpost moving whether you intended that or not.

The point of Gwern’s article is to highlight specific things that have improved since the 90s. I’m pointing out that this is supported by looking at inflation stratified by various goods and services. Nowhere in my post did I say that “inflation is fine”; I’m just saying many goods and services have gotten dramatically cheaper since the 90s, which is still counter to the prevailing narrative.
Post a non-paywall version.
The main thrust of your post is correct, but your characterization of the classes is... misinformed.

The poor and the upper class do what they want when they want? The middle class works harder than the working class? ...What?

In reality, the working class were terribly abused in the "old days." Their days were long and hard, and wage theft was (and still is) rife. For them, there was no such thing as a vacation, which is something the middle class could enjoy. The poor were much too sick and weak to do as they pleased. They had to continuously toil in things from begging and scavenging to odd jobs in dangerous places.

It is better to think of it like this. Your class depended on ownership.

Poor own nothing and in general doesn't have any way to benefit from their own labor.

Working class did not own their jobs, but did receive income from their own labor, though only a fraction of its value.

Middle class own their own jobs, keeping most of the value of their own labor.

Upper class own the means of production, keeping all of the value of their own labor, as well as the value of most of their employee labor.

This whole Child Safety feature was not planned to be announced yet. They tried to fix some missleading leaks. My guess is that they are now preparing well to announce everything in September.

I don’t want to be mean, but sometimes leaks do more harm than good, espcially when they don’t match what is actually coming. Many people are angry here, the most of them have not read actual technical details.

Respected people should be more responsible about what they spread.
False, if only because it is evident that naive and competent are evident opposites, practically. You can see the competent and the naive use, they cannot be mixed.

By the way: you have completely misunderstood 'is' in the quotation. It was not descriptive language, it was deontic.

Hi! I'm one core developer (and creator) of the library. Thanks for all the comments. I just wanted to highlight a couple of things that we think are quite cool about Darts:

* It makes using all sorts of forecasting models (from ARIMA to deep learning) easy, using fit() and predict(), similar to scikit-learn.

* It's easy to fit deep learning and other ML-based models on multiple time series, potentially on big datasets too. The time series can be multivariate.

* Darts is not only wrapping existing models. We also have our own implementations, for instance of TCN (Temporal Convolutional Networks), or adaptations N-BEATS (which we extended to handle multivariate series), DeepAR and others.

* Darts makes it very easy to include past and/or future covariates as inputs for the predictions.

* Some models offer probabilistic forecasts; sometimes with the possibility to configure your favourite likelihood function (e.g. Gaussian for continuous values or Poisson for discrete values).

* Everything uses the "TimeSeries" class, which makes the API consistent across tools and models, and make it harder to make mistakes. For instance it's easy to consume the output of one model by another model, and all models can be backtested the same way.
I guess it depends on how accurately you're thinking about those functions being approximated. Neurons have a natural nonlinearity to their input-output (transfer) function, most obvious of which is the action potential threshold. Biological neurons have a saturating nonlinearity because there is an upper limit on their firing rate, but in certain regimes the nonlinearity of a single neuron could easily look qualitatively similar to relu or a (non-negative) tanh.

I know, but syntactically speaking, when looking at a program, it is always just lists embedded in lists. That is the lack of semantic references I am thinking about. When I talk about being feeling grounded, I mean seeing a distinguishable syntactic structure that gives me a (semantic) reference point for what I am looking at.

The two cases MtG I know of off hand are to do with accidentally broken rules updates. One was when the added a moment "between turns" where you could activate abilities but not cast spells (added to make Time Vault work). The interpretation that you could activate wall of roots infinitely is similar to the chess cases you're pointing at ("once per turn doesn't constrain what I do between turns"). The other was Yawgs Will exiling effect was briefly a triggered effect instead of a replacement effect which let Yawgs Will + Dark Ritual also be a trivial infinite, which wasn't even rules lawyering it just was so clearly broken and unintended that Arbiters didn't allow the official rules and eratta to ride.

But really I don't think any of the rules of chess ever unambiguously allowed either of the things you said, they are both extreme rules lawyering primarily known for their humorous value, and the rules being clarified they aren't allowed doesn't prove they were allowed before. E.g. 0-0-0-0-0 claimed a pawn promoted to a rook is "a piece that hasn't moved", and easily could have been rejected as saying it is the same piece that moved while it was a pawn.

En Passant is widely know and explicitly specified in the rules, taught, and played by even low level players, so there's no way it's similar.

I think it's impossible to know unless you can find a case where someone actually attempted the moves, but I feel pretty confident they just wouldn't have been allowed and if you tried a similar gag at a rated chess event today the arbiter would just tell you that you're crazy.
You should condense this so it’s easier to read.

My 2c (apologies for the aggressive tone -- I'm just excited about AGI):

That's a very very weak upper bound on how much hardware it takes. I think it's not all that different from emulating a Nintendo64 with a quantum simulation of the hardware.

For complex systems to work (not to mention evolve), they need to be robust to small perturbations -- there's no way the computation the brain is doing is sensitive to the details of particular atoms. There has to be redundancy, modularity, etc. These things aren't human inventions so much as they are the only way to meaningfully move in a 2^|giant-number| state-space.

Indeed. What I found interesting is that when I looked up the stats, the death rates for under 1 year olds has continued to decline even in recent decades. I had previously thought it would have stalled after the things you mentioned had been solved. My guess is premature births have much higher survival now than 20 or 40 years ago.

Edit: I said Tcl, but that has the opposite problem: integers are fine, but floating point is problematic because everything is strings. Updated below to remove Tcl.

I don't think this is true of most languages; only for Lua that I know of. And it causes problem: if you send a 64-bit ID to Lua, which represents it as a double, it will subtly change the last few bits. Then when you go to look up something with that ID, you get the wrong item.

Most languages don't have that problem.

This is sarcastic/satire, pretty sure? Not sure all the comments are catching that.

When I have to use a 0.x-versioned package because it's a (hard or soft) dependency of some popular framework/platform/tool that "everyone" is using... I feel personally insulted. Like they're saying "no, we're not willing to say this is production-ready, we're not willing to say that we're not going to break backwards compatibility every month or so in a way you can't predict from the version number so can't do automated dependency updates ever, but, hey, everyone else is using it, what's your problem?"

It's like the ultimate embrace of the typical HN "open source maintainers owe you nothing and you should expect nothing of them" argument. Which is true, but if all packages literally made no effort to meet user needs and we had learned to expect nothing from them, we would never be using open source....
