You're reasoning from fictional evidence, like the people who wanted to ban heart and kidney transplants because they'd watched Frankenstein, or who feared computers because they'd watched 2001.

Self-reproducing machines are dangerous in the same way that ammonium perchlorate, natural gas, electricity, or computers are dangerous: people can use them to do bad things, and people can engineer systems carelessly, causing accidents.

What is called for is adequate respect for the capabilities and risks of the technology you're working with, prudence in preventing accidents, and avoidance of extreme technological power imbalances like those that led to the Congo Free State and the Google Play Store, not the sort of puerile irrationality that privileges Gene Roddenberry's ideas over those of John von Neumann.
This, exactly. The Greek alphabet is much older than Koine Greek, of almost 500 years. While spoken language tends to change fast, written language tends to stick and doesn't easily change, for obvious reasons (just look at English or Tibetan). People won't change how they write some word just because they pronounce it differently from the past, because that would make the text much harder to read.

Also, /b/, /β/ and /v/ have the tendency to get swap with each other in lots of languages, and most people fail to distinguish them apart unless their language imposes a clear distinction among them. See for instance how Italian or English distinguish /b/ from /v/, while /b/, /β/ and /v/ are all basically the same thing for a Spanish speaker.
Indeed Koine Greek is not ancient Greek, and while also being different from modern Greek, it's also different. The main difference being that Koine stems from the attic dialect and modern Greek from the dimotic dialect. To make matters even more complicated, the transition to make dimotic official happened in 1979 and thus there is still a living generation accustomed to read and write Koinè/kathareuousa Greek.

This familiarity didn't end overnight and as these things often do they live on in a long tail, see for example Russian influence in many ex-soviet republics which is only waning with the youngest generations, or for example German influence that lasted in northern Croatia way longer than the austro-hungarian domination.

That said, linguistics is full of traps. The common person on the street makes all sorts of assumption based on modern facets, often inverting the relationship between Prestige/low-education/provinciality with historical language change, i.e. often assuming that the poor illiterate provincial people are those who talk badly and distort the language, while in reality they often preserve archaic forms in some cases (while innovating in others).

An example from contemporary coastal Tuscany in Italy: in the local dialect the word for rabbit is "cunigliolo" while the offician Italian is "coniglio". If you ask a random person from the street they would tell you that "cunigliolo" is not only an uneducated form but actually a silly deformation of the right word and that it's obviously so, because the suffix "-olo" sounds funny (probably because of the influence of the names of the seven dwarves in Italian, brontolo, cucciolo, mammolo, pisolo, ... all designed to sound cute to the ear of a modern italiano speaker).

Turns out that the latin word for rabbit is "cuniculus".

Now, did I say that linguistics is tricky? Turns out that the "-olo" suffix has been added to other words as well, like "ragnolo" which has no etymological explaination. They could be an innovation to regularize the perceived "funny local way of saying rabbit", perhaps modeled on the 7 dwarves, or not. Perhaps cunigliolo etymology is also wrong and I'm grasping at straws, but I think my main point still holds: don't trust the gut reaction of native speakers for anything other than their living language.
What was linked in a later comment was the injuncture by the court related to the changing of apple's rules in the app store, not a direct ruling by the court related to who "won" the apple v epic trial. I won't copy the full Remedies from the 185 page document, but simply the part that you were asking about.

Saving is worthless is another reason.

(I have said this above, though): if money today is worth less than money tomorrow, you want to get rid of it as fast as you can. People want to "save", anyway. This implies that the only way to save money is to invest it in risky assets. There is no point in buying bonds as investment for the general investor (only for hedging) if they will be worth less tomorrow than today -you are burning money, literally.

Does this not look very much like inflation? (i.e. if you do not spend your money _right now_ you may not be able to buy anything tomorrow)..... It is inflation but Central Bankers do not want to see it.

Interesting. I have to check this out. The description clocks to me as making perfect sense. I usually find that podcast insultingly reductive, hypersensitive and whiny, but put me in a room with anyone who remembers the Bush administration and I guess I'm still a liberal yet. The premise at least is solidly grounded in the effect I've witnessed. Thanks.
But we don't really think that speeds add linearly. if you drive 80 kph North, and I drive 60 kph East, no one would say we are separating at 140 kph. we would use Pythagoras to get the right number.

We just don't realize we live in a 4D space where time is one dimension, so we think driving in opposite directions is a special case where we can add the speeds. but there is the fourth dimension, and we have to use an equation very similar to Pythagoras to get the right value.

I know you must know this, this is more for the benefit of the reader.

There are a lot of individual services that handle that better than Apple e.g Netflix. There is also that are much worse e.g New York Times. The big advantage with Apple is that you can unsubscribe without any dark patterns and that you have all (At least Appstore) subscriptions in one place instead of having to figure out how to cancel each individually.

What do you mean? The sample size was 6, and they were selected on having the same symptoms. There is more information on the statistical analysis in the paper, but the conclusion is that it was significant.

It's not just about money. Ultimately, it's about respect. Considering the clearing price in a free market is good and all, but you have to consider there's a buyer representing real people, who determines the working condition of this group. And also a seller whose life will be made easier and more dignified if they're properly paid, which will in turn attract better and less desperate teachers.

When I say paid, I obviously also mean in intangible ways, such as having enough time to go to the toilet between classes. Or being insulated from being yelled at by parents and meekly saying sorry for telling off their particularly concentration-destroying kid.
Good question! Some time ago I got the chance to see what GPT-3 knew about psychology and psychological treatment. One of the subjects I let it confabulate about happened to be Cognitive Therapy. All though not perfect in any way, the descriptions are often quite good. I think this example is actually a first shot without edits. Aaron or Judith Becks works are good references otherwise if you want actual reference. From a research perspective I would start out at the reference below.

Apple will definitely have to revisit the App Store economics. Obviously, more choice is great for both the user and the developer alike, but I am a bit worried about the future of the App Store access. In my opinion, the original brilliance of the App Store model was that trying is free and you pay on success. This is a stark contrast to previous models where the developer had to bring an often significant initial investment for listing/API licensing/accounting with the success being uncertain. IMO, the App Store model is what made small-time development possible. Whatever changes they implement to offset the revenue loss from the successful apps, I hope it will be just as easy (and free) to access the App Store in the future.
I wish they tried to tackle StarCraft 1 BroodWar AI where the game is (arguably) even harder than SC 2. Besides, there's a healthy BroodWar AI community with some very strong AIs out there.

i have learned to not expect quality content from Youtube. Most channels pump out videos to grow their channel so they all have to play games(clickbait titles, flashy thumbnails, fluff videos to a certain length to please YT algorithm) and now that YT is trying to compete with tiktok, they also encourage channels to have shorter videos, and you cannot explain anything mildly complex in that short period of time.

Imo text should be the main source, then use YT videos as supplemental material
" No one can say the same about a C++ program, not with certainty."

Formal proof is a thing, so I think you can.

"Hello world" would be easy to verify.
Verifying transmission on the other hand, is a kind of big project on its own, though.

And I agree, that there are no perfect programmers around, but I would also agree to parents point, that if I want to have full power, I fully want to remain my right for footguns. It all remains a tradeof. The ecosystem of C++ is just incredibly bigger than rust, so a new game, I would start in C++, but for something critical I would probably also choose rust.
You're on to something here. ;) Being a psychologist and an engineer, AI is an intriguing subject and I'm amazed what GPT-3 can produce.
> We're talking 1-2 officers who quickly glance inside your bag and maybe a metal detector you walk through, similar to the security at a football game. It's more intended as security theatre by the presence of officers to discourage petty crime than to catch terrorists.

So just for some security theatre I have to give up a lot of privacy, add to my travel time by waiting in a queue, pay a higher fare to pay for all these guys? I'm really glad we don't do this here.

I don't like people demanding to look in my bag, trying to frisk me or metal scanning (of course I have metal on me). It will make me feel less safe.

> Forcing criminals to move to the streets makes public transportation more appealing, I think that's obvious enough.

So then you have to deal with them when you come out of the metro :) It's only moving the problem. Better to make sure they don't have to steal by having a decent welfare system.
I think you're right that it's mimicry, but I'd like to offer a more precise distinction about the difference between humans and GPT-3. Threads, network adapters, web browsers and primitive cells communicate too. What I think humans do uniquely is create thoughts, such as "X and Y are disparate things". Those thoughts might be for communication, or just thinking about something. But AI models are only trained on the thoughts that happen to be communicated. More accurately, they are only trained on the externalised side effects of the thought function, i.e. what gets written down or spoken.

It's like if you were building a physiological model of the human body using only skin and exterior features as training data. We would not expect the model to learn the structure and function of the spleen. By analogy we should not expect GPT-3 to learn the structure and function of thought.
So if they were pretty much the same thing already, why deny them the term "marriage"?

> most of the other important rights modern societies enjoy became a thing in a very religious time and religious reasoning was used

Which times? And what religious reasoning?

Personally, it makes me think of "Les Lumières", and I fail to see any religious reasoning in Voltaire or Rousseau.

So, being pretty sure we aren’t thinking of the same times and people, I’m curious.
>> On the specific pronunciation subject, I am no expert in the matter but I do wonder how that reconciles with the fact that the letters μπ make the sound b in Greek and that combination of letters is not modern but has been in Ancient Greek words too, such as in εμπνέω.

It's possible that "μπ" was not pronounced "b" as today, in ancient times, but as "mp". For example, I think Cypriot Greeks tend to pronounce another consontant dipthong, "ντ" as "nt" rather than "d".

In my own limited experience in school, I found texts from the first century AD much easier to comprehend than say the odyssey, or even classical texts.

But still it was an academic exercise, it required attention and some time, it was far easier than classical texts yet not something you can do in the street on the fly.

I may have to pull back from mostly legible to mostly decode-able. ;)

The Glib approach is an immense monolith of nonsensical zealotry towards C. Reimplementing an Object-Oriented system in C using hacks and void pointers when GCC already had not one but two fully object oriented languages built-in was a completely pointless endeavor. There are a million different ways to shoot youself in the foot with Glib, and it definitely doesn't feel like writing C at all.

I understand the historical context that lead to the creation of Glib (no C++ standard in the mid-'90s, no decent open Objective-C libraries, Stallman and most of the FOSS movement at the time harbouring a deep disgust towards C++ for some reason, etc), but it can't be pointed at as a good example of how to code in C - on the contrary, it's IMHO exactly what your C project shouldn't do. You've picked C because it's simple and clear, don't butcher it up with macros and weird hacks just to get a worse Objective-C.
You can even make this clear in the "leave Earth in a fast ship and return" scenario - have the people on Earth send you a birthday card by radio every year that you're away, on your birthday in their reference frame. You'll receive those ticks of time as you travel (most of them on your way back).

> That's the weird thing about Nim. It's not really a new language so much as a syntax and front end to several existing languages.

This is a bit of an over-simplification. Nim does a lot of stuff on its own, so you won't be able to convert back from C to Nim for example. The most obvious being of course the macro system that is just normal Nim code but is evaluated at compile-time and generates code for you. In fact you can use the compiler to evaluate Nim without compiling it, so it certainly falls into the language in its own right category.
Surprisingly, the reverse is also beneficial (though not for these two diseases):

So you are saying that a plausible mechanism leads to a ~50% prediction accuracy?

I'm curious how this stacks up to the accuracy of other prediction methods? Off the cuff, this one doesn't seem too bad. esp given the stochastic nature of the variable being predicted.

There are linear time algorithms that take a planar graph and find an embedding where all the edges are straight lines.

However, I believe the problem of starting with a general graph and finding an embedding with the minimum number of edge crossings is NP-Hard.
I don't think you are wrong, but then some of the US GDP belongs to other countries so there are also some deductions to do.
Well put. I see it too. Indeed it is epiousios to see the spiritual essence “over nature” (supra-natural / super-natural). The inner, spiritual world that we can witness in our witnessing of nature. Martin-Löf comes to mind: https://github.com/michaelt/martin-lof/blob/master/pdfs/A-pa... (It’s funny and beautiful that we’re now building all the most interesting programming languages on top of Martin-Löf’s intuitionistic type theory. – At least in my opinion.)

It is epiousios to use the word “daily” as a translation of “epiousios”.

Isn’t it also a common pattern in religious texts the metaphor that the soul is a light? – and the first light man knew certainly was the light of day. As well as metaphors like a life being like a year with its seasons and its finality? And a life like a day?

And indeed metaphor is itself epiousios. Bread is metaphor. Metaphor can certainly be spiritual sustenance. And indeed the prayer itself is exactly that. Or rather, it isn’t, but
it can be seen that way. Or rather, it can’t actually be seen that way, but we can certainly find beauty in interpreting it that way.

From a beautiful, beautiful paper on the substrate of human cooperation – neural mechanisms, namely in the prefrontal cortex: Zoh, Y., Chang, S.W.C. & Crockett, M.J.: The prefrontal cortex and (uniquely) human cooperation: a comparative perspective. ACNP journal Neuropsychopharmacology* (2021). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-021-01092-5 / https://doi.org/10.1038/s41386-021-01092-5

‘Relative to other species, humans have an exceptional ability to cooperate—we are willing to incur personal costs to benefit others, including strangers, and people who we will never meet again. These abilities are thought to arise from complex systems of shared moral intuitions about what is “right” or “good” that are culturally transmitted across space and time.’

Along with such things as comfort, solace, hope, and understanding. In the form of metaphor. Shared metaphor. Our shared, daily, divine, epiousios bread. If we choose to receive it that way.

Right, it can't just be about the last supper. But we do know that Jesus was teaching about participation in a non-material world; then, perhaps, the prayer was to remind that bread is not just for our ousian body but for our epiousian soul.
