I didn't tell people they can have a religion but they can't practice it. And I never said freedom of religious belief was not a fundamental right. And I don't dislike religion. And what do you know of my "irreligious practices"?

Your whole post is just a big, oafish strawman. I might be insulted if it weren't so bad that it's actually making me laugh.
What worked for me is using Python scripts ("filters") that do all required changes on the Pandoc JSON. I even ended up writing a pythonic layer on top of that JSON ("pip install panflute") so I wouldn't have to deal with the JSON itself.

I’d recommend looking into Nim in Action [1] by Dominik Picheta. Really good book overall and helps get you up and running with Nim concepts. Dominik is core Nim team and author of Nimble.

I don't know who the author is. But to me it seems like he had a very clear picture of what the future would be like after that insane and devastating event. Fascinating.
> if you ask me "what is the capital of France?" I will answer "Paris" with 100% probability. No matter how you phrase the question, there is simply no other answer that can be given

There are many capitals of France, depending on time period:

I'm increasingly of the opinion that control theory is the right framework to apply here.

The very existence of business cycles suggests that the economy has "underdamped poles", and perhaps a more forward-looking central bank policy could add enough phase margin to damp them and prevent recessions altogether. But it would require always taking one's foot off the gas pedal before conditions really seem good enough.
> Bad Ada code is no better than bad code in any other language.

Ada's strictness allows it to catch many more errors at compile time than, say, C.

> Bad Ada code could be worse if it often works by accident, where other code might have failed visibly and been rejected.

This is backward. Errors will be more easily detected in Ada than in, say, C. C is full of footguns and undefined behaviour. Vanilla Ada still isn't actually a safe language, unfortunately, but as a matter of degree, it's much safer than C.

In the Catholic rite, the bread _becomes_ the body of the Christ during Eucharist, a process known as _transubstantiation_ (meanwhile in protestant liturgy, it _contains_ the body of the Christ, a process known as _consubstantiation_). In any case, the bread is more than just bread, it's the symbol of the sacrifice made by the Christ to save Humanity and renew the alliance made with God. I think (I'm not a doctor of canon law by the way) that's what it means: the bread beyond its substance.
> Even if you could not lock the rear wheels on a regular manual car with the handbrake

Mind you, you don't need to lock the rear wheels to induce oversteer (rear sliding out).

All you need to do is to make the rear wheel braking force be higher than the front wheel braking force while turning. Which in this case, since there is zero braking force on the front wheels, doesn't take much at all. A very quick pull on the handbrake will do it.

If you ever drive a race car with an adjustable brake bias control (changes percentage of braking force front/rear) it's easy to experience it doesn't take much rear bias to induce a spin if braking in a turn, even though none of the wheels ever lock.

Indeed. Its a clear case of trusting the cat to keep the cream. But most poeple dont seem to notice, which is indicative for how strong the illusions the churches have created are.
The Roma believe themselves descended from the thief who stole Jesus' nail. Therefore, not only do they permit themselves to steal, but their stealing has widely been tolerated by authorities (even if not by the populations that they steal from).

That's been changing since the early twentieth century, but for decades the Roma were known as thieves. Unfortunately the stigma still lives until today.

EDIT: To the downvoters: Your social justice crusade is ridiculous. I'm not passing judgement on this group, I'm stating the facts. You'll notice that I called them Roma, like they call themselves today, and not the more common name associated with them in English which they decided themselves to avoid.

Hm, there is even no mention of the nail myth on the Roma Wikipedia page. But there is a separate page, not linked from the main Roma page, that explains it and even mentions that Roma are permitted to steal:

GPT-3 is not trained to produce true statements. It is trained to output credible sentences that could be found on internet.

It is a master bullshitter and will never say "I don't understand what you mean" if it can wriggle around.

This is a great step towards a real AI. It is a sort of raw intuition. It now needs to learn to filter its intuition with rationality and epistemological techniques.
I'm a bit confused here. I self admittedly an extremely amateur history buff but my impression was that Greece had completely declined by 200 ce when they are claiming this papyrus originated from.

why would a text even exist at all on the subject of Christ from that Era in Greek. Wouldn't all of the relevant texts have been in Latin at that point?

honestly asking. I'm not supposing I have a good grasp on the history here.

This paper is intended as a sarcastic critique of the push towards conducting randomized trials in academia/medicine, but it’s an obvious straw man. You could write this sarcastic article for any research method - “see, why do research using method X when we already know the answer from other methods?”

The problem is that there are plenty of research questions where RCTs show us that previous non-RCTs were wrong.
Yeah, I always show the crappy results of EMule/GNUtella and friends as a proof "decentralized X" does not really work

Torrents really work only because there are centralized search sites like piratebay or 1337x
How is highlighting that he hasnt fiished his Phd an ad-hominem in that context? He s attacking the methodological flaws in the first sentence and his media portrayal as expert in the second. This should not be off-limits. (Their flaws are extensively discussed in the paper btw)

He also attacked Theranos for their media portrayal and secrecy long before anyone else did. Was that an ad hominem too? https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/21109...

Now you 're making an ad-hominem too (just like the tweet you linked)

You really can't say that. Years later, with hindsight we ll be able to assess how many lives were lost because of the rampant policy errors all around. The pandemic was in no way optimally handled

> If the tools exposed a way to get the URL and SHA256 hash of every dependency it downloads from the Internet, then the "infection" doesn't need to happen

Yes. Good start. If you can make it so that exposing this information to Nix is easy enough that e.g. the NPM team does not need a PhD in Dhall to write it to a file, then Nix will be a much more solid proposition. That data alone isn't enough, but that + a DAG of what NPM will do to the downloaded tgzs is much closer. It's also enough for cargo. And many other languages. Dhall is cool to write by hand but, back to my original example, compile_commands.json could be written by a monkey. It needs to be that easy. It needs to be as easy as printing GraphViz DOT to stderr. Then and probably only then will Nix support start getting upstreamed.

Dhall is probably Nix's biggest liability at the moment; they sought to make a single language, with a rapidly changing API, for configuring your computer (by hand) as for making compilers reproducible. Compiler output! In an essentially esoteric configuration/programming language, which takes a lot of effort to port to a new ecosystem! No. Use JSON. Ideally you will never have to actually write Nix, the same way humans have never had to write compile_commands.json by hand, and the way nobody has ever had to construct a Docker image by hand out of individual tar files.

It certainly feels like researchers and developers are on to some path towards a general artificial intelligence with the advances in machine learning. Just a few decades ago we had terrible speech recognition software, now the speech recognition on mobile devices is nearly perfect.

Teaching computers how to sense the world like a human seems like progression towards the idea of AGI. However, these sensory recognition systems (e.g sight, hearing) on a high level simply take input and label it correctly. The missing ingredients that humans have seem to be understanding, reasoning and feeling. There was a good episode of Star Trek TNG where Data explored this...
What I hate is that a few politicians with their deceit, sloppy work and negligence have stained all people with PhDs. Basically everyone assumes now that a PhD can be gained by copy / pasting snippets into a thesis.
The teachers union where I am is strong, but it doesn't preclude the administration from playing tricks similar to the exactly 39-hour "part time" employee.

My favourite coffee mug is the one on the far left in this photo:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CDYo7FhjKkQ/

Why? Because I made it. On a whim I started going to pottery-classes at a local school a couple of years ago. We build things with our hands - rather than with wheels and those cups/mugs are things I use almost every day.

I live in Finland, and my Finnish wife collects "moomin mugs", which is a pretty common hobby here, so if I'm not using one of my own mugs then I tend to drink out of those. The pictures/artwork I like, but I admit the moomin-cups are just that little bit too small!

You can get a flavour by looking at this online store:

There is much less stochastic inference in human reasoning. I am sure that our low level thinking/learning mechanisms are stochastic (including a large helping of evolution in our ancient history), but the higher levels are much more about deductive logic.
Isn’t that what we have inflation for though, essentially? It’s basically just an annual ~2% tax on cash (with some volatility)
The common language was Greek, even though the Romans were in charge.

> If you know what a Markov chain is then you must also know that modern language models are nothing like Markov chains. Just as an example, a Markov chain can't do causal reasoning or correctly solve unseen programming puzzles, the way GPT-3 can.

First, GPT-3 can hardly do "causal reasoning" beyond exploiting regularities in the content it has been trained on. That's why you get "interesting causal reasonings" such as "the word 'muslim' co-occurs a lot with 'terrorist', so these things must be causally related".

Second, just because a more complicated version of a Markov chain (i.e. a probabilistic language model) can do things that a first-order Markov chain cannot does not mean that it is qualitatively different: both things are nothing more than simple mathematical models (linear algebra + sprinkles). A polynomial model can do things than a linear model cannot, but it is no closer to consciousness and self-awareness, as far as I can tell.

My point is... a mathematical model is just that (a model) and, as such, cannot be "self-aware".

Humans, as cybernetic agents embedded in some environment (from which they get sensory input and with which they can interact), have agency and, as such, can display the property of "self-awareness". Models, by themselves, cannot.

Humans may contain systems within them that resemble a GPT-3 language model (or a Markov chain model), and such "language models" may even be required for self-awareness (it's not obvious, but let's assume it's true).

*Still*, it is not the language model itself that is self-aware, but the agent that is using the model.

A GPT-3 model, by itself, cannot be self-aware, because it not much more than a applying some linear algebra operations on numbers (just like e.g. a Markov chain language model). An agent containing (among many other things) something that could be approximated by a GPT-3 model within, may.

> As for self-awareness, your brain is an N x N -matrix in the same sense as an ANN, so surely it must be possible for one to be self-aware? Not claiming that GPT-3 is, of course.

No, it is not. My brain is an analog computation device and not a bunch of numbers. Perhaps you can approximate some aspects of how it works using numbers, probably using digital computation devices, but that is not what anyone's brain is (neither at the "hardware" level, nor at the "software" level). Also, notice that a brain always exists within a biological agent, and it is the biological agent that is (or may be) self-aware, and not "the brain".
They'd probably respond "But what about that big f off dish transmitting brain control waves" completely oblivious to the fact it is receive only.
I... cannot even figure out how to download anything from SourceForge. (which also takes me back. But not really in a good way.)

I think I'm fine though.
For a serious take on their point: With parachutes, we have detailed physical models of how they work.[0] With anecdotal medicinal practices, however, AFAIK there's little other than "this works sometimes."[1] We don't understand the body half as well as we understand physics, so I really don't think it's fair to compare the two.

If we had no observational evidence for something, but we instead had an underlying model that made many correct predictions, then it would be fair to draw their conclusion that clinical trials aren't the end-all-be-all. But when you're operating solely on raw data with little to no understanding, you need data.[2]

Of course, I am most decidedly an amateur in all the fields I've mentioned, so take all this with a grain of salt :-)

[0] I don't actually know how parachutes were discovered, so maybe they were discovered purely experimentally. I'm inclined to doubt it, given a presumed lack of willing test subjects—but if I'm wrong, hopefully my comment will have value nonetheless.

[1] To be fair, my understanding is that this applies to mainstream medicine too (isn't "how do general anesthetics work" still an open question?).

[2] I feel this is a massive problem with current AI/ML trends as well. My undergrad "intro to ML" class briefly covered the statistics of it (VC dimensions and all that). The prof. basically said, "here's the amount of data you need to get statistical guarantees of correctness... and in practice, you'll have orders of magnitude less data than this." And yet we put this half-baked tech into cars, because it works on the happy cases, and totally ignore the lack of statistical confidence regarding the bad cases.
What the critics forget is that previous models were even worse than foundation models, much worse. The fact we're only now having a discussion about their intelligence is proof they closed the gap considerably.

Here are some authoritative opinions on the topic from Yoav Golberg

> so, don't believe the hype, and yes, we are still very very far from understanding language, and the new models have many shortcomings, but they are also very strong. much stronger than what we had before. going back is not the solution. just keep pushing.

> well, all true, but at least they work. like, previous-gen models also didn't understand meaning, and also considered only form. they were just much worse at this. so much worse that no one could ever imagine that they capture any kind of meaning whatsoever. they didn't work.

> oh, but we didn't have text-generators that associate muslims with terrorism! sure, we didn't have any text generators that could hold even a remotely coherent several sentence open domain text.

Making an evolving/learning machine stay in sync with its creators' requirements is called the alignment problem. Publications are made on this. They gave some smarter sounding names to grey goo and paperclip scenarios.

An interesting thing to note is that we know how to engineer redundancy and code checking into machines to avoid unwanted mutations. Biology makes us thing this is hard but biological systems do need to evolve, there is no pressure for lower mutations as long as you are at a level that allows a species to survive.
