Wait, where on Earth are teachers free to dose students with “behavioral” drugs?
Doesn't really seem like this is correct.

> (a) An individual with a behavioral health impairment who is admitted to a psychiatric emergency service under a crisis intervention protocol under this subchapter shall have a final disposition within a maximum of seventy-two (72) hours or be released from custody.

> (b) If the individual with a behavioral health impairment cannot be stabilized within seventy-two (72) hours of entering into a crisis intervention protocol, a participating partner may institute commitment proceedings as authorized under § 20-47-201 et seq.

> (c) An individual who has been released from custody and has chosen to stay at a crisis stabilization unit voluntarily under § 20-47-804(c) is not bound by the seventy-two-hour maximum time of detention under this section.

> (d) As part of the discharge process after the seventy-two-hour hold has expired and the individual is being released from custody, and subject to the consent of the individual no longer in custody, a crisis stabilization unit may provide the individual with a follow-up treatment plan and a request that the individual utilize the treatment plan, including subsequent appointments with a mental health professional.

Sounds like you're talking about (b), but I wouldn't really assume we're talking about children (as in America they don't really have rights).
I see now that your comment was mostly about the order of the planets. Not about how people hundreds of years ago knew there was a hexagon on the planet.
I agree for one off services retention is useless!

I think airline sites are a good example of how to make the most out of one-off payments. Cross sell relevant things (like hotels, car rentals and insurance) so you can get more revenue from that one-off experience.

There’s even companies like Cartrawler that provide this as a service: https://www.cartrawler.com/
I'm going to criticise one particular aspect of this comment, but overall I find it very interesting because it generates so many fascinating questions, some of which follow:

> There is no equivalent for anything that can be run on a turing machine.

So you're claiming that organisms such as ourselves cannot be run on a Turing machine? Any particular reason/evidence?

> you could write out on paper the calculations that a chatbot is performing to select what it says

In the case of ML, only on the lowest level; there's no human-readable algorithm for putting together utterances. But let's say, for the sake of argument, that someone can actually understand and explain how exactly a particular response was constructed. Could the same not be done, in principle, with the response from a human? You could write out on paper the QFT equations that a brain follows to select what it says.

Well, OK, no one can actually do that, because we don't understand the subject matter sufficiently. But that's my point: That we understand the simpler system better doesn't mean that it's a more abstract concept, or that it can't be mistreated. Of course there is a tendency to have more compassion for more complex organisms — think about how you'd treat a monkey, a rat, a spider, a packet of yeast. We also tend to distinguish between organisms and inanimate things.

But discriminating based on what we understand exactly seems like a bad argument. Also, what if — as seems likely — artificial life will be made like AI currently is? That is: the necessary complexity is too much to plan in detail, so we make a primitive framework in which systems with desirable properties are then bred and evolved. Just like breeding plants and animals still is a thing — we can now sequence entire genomes and research what individual genes do, but it's too complicated to be a viable approach when you want a tastier nectarine.

Can someone ‘write out on paper’ how a Waymo tells a pedestrian apart from a mailbox? If no, does that mean the AI is more prone to being mistreated?

> physical compulsions that it needs to fulfill […] be mistreated by denying these needs

What's the difference between a physical compulsion and a utility function governing a physical system? If I deny a paperclip maximiser the raw materials it needs to make more paperclips, it's definitely not going to be happy …

A great deal of events have also been canceled voluntarily by organizers in this pandemic. Plenty of event organizers believe they have a responsibility to their attendees and the surrounding community and have not planned events even when local governments would have allowed them. Others knew they wouldn’t sell enough tickets without large changes to the events and canceled them due to their understanding of their customers.

I also imagine that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 large events would have had a hard time getting necessary approvals if they had decided to go forward.

The commercial reality was that people didn’t have a desire to attend large celebratory events immediately after 9/11. Disrespectful organizers did not have much of a choice if they lacked respect for the loss of life - their customers had already decided.
Sure, I'm not suggesting there's 0% signal. I'm suggesting that the SNR of "someone said something crazy" is so close to zero as to be useless. Hell, crying wolf about it isnt just useless, it's counterproductive.

I have two main passive incomes:

Cardano Staking - My holdings have grown 3x this year. (~$2300/month)

Industrial Real Estate - Holdings have remained stable mostly, with a few upsets. Have super stable tenants in industrial spaces that they have little incentive to leave. This is with an investment group, so I'm only own 5-10% of the building through LLCs. (~$2700/month)

I keep toying with a few SaaS ideas in the logistics space, but haven't earnestly launched anything. This is a library I'm working on slowly, and I think it has legs to have a commercial offering. I know it won't be passive, but one can dream :D

I don't believe I've ever run across a section of the PCIe standard dictating cable or PCB trace length requirements. All I've ever seen are signal integrity requirements (ie. dB loss) and timing requirements. The timing requirements are not tight enough to preclude long cables, and while the signal loss requirements are chosen based on what's practical and affordable to achieve with a PCB, they don't directly concern themselves with setting minimum or maximum reach lengths.

How do you manage your CloudFormation processes?
I'm curious to know the best practices or how everyone manages their process and CI pipelines for CloudFormation.

Some common problems I struggle with in AWS CloudFormation:

- Only 1 set of changes for a stack can be run at once. This means if multiple devs are deploying changes then they have to wait and incorporate previous changes before they can provision their templates.

- Not more than 1 person can be testing on staging at once. If Dev A successfully provisions resources and Dev B didn't pull new changes then Dev B may undo Dev A's work. This commonly happens in staging.

- There's so much iterative work required to test if a template provisions everything successfully. What may work in a sandbox may not work in staging. Testing in staging seems necessary, but leads to the previous problems.

- Some rollbacks around ECS may hang for hours before timing out. Thankfully, this has only happened in staging, but I don't believe there was a kill switch? I think there was a way to stop the update from the AWS console, but granting access to that defeats the purposes of having a CI to manage your provisioning.

Thoughts and suggestions?
>One of the most disgusting parts of western culture is how they relegate their old to these nursing homes.

Most people can't afford it and last time I checked, Medicare doesn't cover it at all or not enough to make it affordable.

Of course in the 80s and 90s, long term care was much more affordable and wasn't as, uh, let's call it, profit seeking.
I'm not arguing the ethics of it, just stating that (at least to the best of my understanding) there is a culture of that thing happening.

It’s actually tardive dyskinesia (I assume you may have thought that the tardative stems from retarded as in intellectual disability). As far as I am aware, this movement disorder does not have any causal relationship with intellectual disability.

I agree with the principle behind your other points though, in an ideal world we would not prescribe these medications to the elderly to ‘aid in management’
According to Wikipedia:

> The common expression "a steep learning curve" is a misnomer suggesting that an activity is difficult to learn and that expending much effort does not increase proficiency by much, although a learning curve with a steep start actually represents rapid progress. In fact, the gradient of the curve has nothing to do with the overall difficulty of an activity, but expresses the expected rate of change of learning speed over time. An activity that it is easy to learn the basics of, but difficulty to gain proficiency in, may be described as having "a steep learning curve".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve

So the term "steep learning curve" is well-established and my interpretation was correct, but my analogy was wrong. The OP seems to be using it correctly according to the above quotation. "Steep" is a misnomer, but that doesn't make using the term wrong.
Actual article title is "An Ideal Data-Model-First Development Approach". I'm reading it, just started, but the first thing that comes to mind is that the author should look at Ur/Web. Ur/Web is now I guess defunct, but the site is still in the wayback machine.

What is tiring is the insistence of folks like you completely ignoring that fully 94% of those deaths came with comorbidities, far and away dominated by 1. Old age, and 2. Obesity.

We've already vaccinated nearly 90% of group #1, and continuing to gain ground.

We've heard nothing but crickets about group #2. Why? I don't know. Maybe letting people die of hypoxia is better than hurting their feelings. What I do know is that "folks like you" have absolutely no interest in actually solving problems or saving lives, because if you were, you'd actually look at the god damned reality of who is dying once in a while.
It’s because revoking privileges is not an effective means of getting these drivers off the road. It’s not a magic force field that prevents people from sitting behind the wheel. All you’re doing is taking a slip of paper away from people who have already demonstrated themselves to not only be irresponsible but also indifferent toward the law.

In fact, revoking driving privileges can be counter productive because it takes away their ability to be insured while driving.

I don’t know if it’s apocryphal, but I’ve heard of people studying this by purposefully spanning across a highway during stop and go rush hour, idling or barely accelerating to avoid braking. If true, this resulted in the flow of traffic behind them easing and gradually speeding up.

When I drive (not often) it’s generally in a car with a manual transmission, and frequently coming to a complete stop is much more onerous than just lagging behind traffic a little. So I’ve tried this myself as my own one car experiment. First of all, I have definitely seen traffic behind me ease and flow better. Second of all, I’ve seen it ease around me as more aggressive drivers take advantage by merging in front of me.

More importantly, it made driving in those conditions a hell of a lot less stressful. Getting used to “traffic isn’t moving much anyway, it’s really no big deal if people are passing me” gave me more patience and more time to look around me and see what’s going on with the swarm. And it gave me something intellectually engaging without taking my attention away from the task of driving.

I actually find the original topic very interesting but I wanted to share this in the analogy for any drivers who may get value from it.
Likely they would have captured or killed Bin Laden at Tora Bora in the early part of the Afghan war, and wound it all up soon after that.

Instead they created a power vacuum in Iraq, and engendered ISIS as a result.

I literally cannot speak to a human at my ISP unless I tell the robocall system that I want to cancel. As in, I'll call and say I need to return some equipment, be on hold for an hour, leave a callback number, and not get called back in the same week. Versus calling and saying I need to cancel, then getting connected to a service rep in 15 seconds and asking them about returning equipment.
You need more than basic reversing and programming experience to beat EAC now. It gets more comprehensive everyweek.
the point being that IMO the way you understand and come up with and reason about something like “classical mechanics” or “timeless decision theory” or “quantum enlightenment time cube satanic world order simulation” or “risc v architecture” is not about probability, and saying science is about probability totally elides the actual complex information and reasons that go into creating and using those in favor of just saying “they have a probability and we can change them”.
It's not propaganda, either, unless propaganda is held to mean "entertainment that makes a point I'd prefer not be made".

I hope nobody reading the above comment is swayed by it or thinks there is anything substantive there. If the implication is that if two things are the same from a "black box" perspective, how they actually work is just semantics, it's still false. Play with one of these models for a few seconds and it's obvious they are regurgitating and not thinking. If there was actually a chatbot that behaved like a sentient person, maybe the analogy would hold.

Furthermore, we know how a chatbot works, and it's not even pretending to simulate thought.

I'm not trying to downplay the language models, they are really cool, but ignorant people have mistaken them for something they are not (thought) and think that vague and profound sounding tidbits like the above post boost their case. If you're interested in these models, learn about how they are coded and trained, in the weeds, not from the podcast version that people like to parrot.
Seems that Apple could obligate the use of affiliate links when directing users from the app to an external site for purchases. I'm sure they'd be willing to add a required api for just such a thing.
I mean, that's how contracts work? If these companies wanted to do that they could, but they don't see it as a good business decision. Apparently Apple feels its moat is big enough.

I don't really follow. What does it specifically mean to say that a chatbot has no internal experience, or can't understand a concept? Like, if I disagree with you about those claims, what observable things about the chatbot show that I'm wrong?

Or look at it another way - the posts from Samantha in TFA are just words on a page, same as the ones you wrote and the ones I'm writing now. Sure, some guy claims Samantha's words came from a chatbot - but suppose we don't believe him. Does something about the words themselves show that they came from an agent with "no internal experience"? If not, then what does it mean to dismiss the words on that basis?
This is literal survivorship bias. I'm sure there are many people who are no longer alive because people did not take their texts seriously. I can easily imagine someone posting something just like this from the other side of the coin.
You can reduce all of this to the simple observation that:

There are little consequences when the pool of people you have access to is massive; and there remains no reason to become emotionally invested in a certain "core" of people, when you can easily jump to another if that "core" is not perfect.

This leads to a feedback loop that stunts relationship "depth."

Or further: when you have options, the default modus operandi is to not become completely invested into any single one -- you can always "jump" to another, and are always on the lookout for "greener pastures."

People have more options than they used to.

As much as I craved these "second level" (and even "first level") social relations, over the years I've become assimilated and contribute to the aforementioned feedback loop.

The "ills" of modern life have been exponentially increasing, but for the future generations they are simply "life."

However if war is used to funnel money from tax payers to companies, and politicians owned by those companies, then going to war makes a lot of sense.

So don’t hold your breath.
