Yes some people must spend all their income on food and shelter. And government assistance stupidly penalizes people who try to save. But many people, even lower income people, could save a little. I think they have never been shown what the power of compounding can do over time. It is not intuitive, because the gains in early years are small.

Handbrakes do not always break rear wheels for one, some cars have front parking breaks. I am pretty sure you will be off the road if you locked your front wheels in a turn no matter how much muscle memory you have, you cannot steer with locked wheels.

And I have not seen a car where a handbrake could lock wheels even on idle, least on driving in gear at 50 mph. I don't doubt such breaks exist, rally cars supposed to have them, but on my car, for instance, all that is going to happen if I pull the handbrake flap in gear is nothing and if I hold it for 5 seconds it will do an emergency stop using its ESC,ABS and all kinds of smart technology (I think it's also supposed to move to the shoulder and turn on hazards but I never really tried it). It won't slide for sure. How am I supposed to pass a test like that? Rent a 500K rally car?

>OP said this was in Denmark, so presumably every little thing isn't a "gold rush for lawyers" unlike in the USA

People can just kill themselves on orders from government in Denmark? Sounds like the country not to take as an example to me.
COVID-19 IFR overall is something like 0.5% across all populations. While the typical seasonal flu is 0.1%, both are relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things. This becomes more clear if you look at ages under 50 - the IFR for them is astonishingly low, to the point that societal restrictions are effectively risk containment for the elderly or unhealthy (like the obese) at the expense of the young and healthy. I think that makes the discussion around the tradeoffs more difficult and nuanced. I’m not saying that any one approach is definitely right or wrong, but that there are legitimate perspectives and lines of reasoning to support a relatively wide set of approaches.

Ha! I take your point, but I think you're having trouble breaking out of the current economic frame. Even that example assumes that my wife would be deprived of resources.

But, to your larger point, I'm not asserting that we can just rip up the current economic system and no one will care. I'm saying that these debates frequently take a form that suggests that there are other factors that prohibit change, beyond the fact that people will care.
>> Self-reproducing machines could unleash the power of exponential growth, thus enabling audacious engineering projects.

Grey goo. The Borg. Skynet. I think some audacious engineering might have to be curtailed if we flesh-and-bloods want to maintain some sort of relevancy. The key may be evolution. We may need to banish unexpected variation from all self-replicating machines. Variation would have to be limited to software. No automaton would be allowed to evolve away from having an off switch.
> For example, 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, if I understand what you are asking.

Context matters too. I could say “the letter F” is the capital of France, and it’s also true but not what you wanted.

Maybe that’s why GPT-3 is so funny occasionally. Comedians are professionals in cognitive dissonance, and every once in a while the million monkeys of the algorithm hit comedy gold.
> military patrolling your streets to enforce these covid laws

This is not happening. It's a complete beat-up and it's utterly false. The military has been engaged to provide labor, not enforcement. They have no enforcement powers. Parking inspectors have greater powers to enforce civil laws.

As for the inflammatory "checking papers" trope: many countries in all parts fo the world have had lockdowns, including in the U.S. Why single out Australia for condemnation when it is doing the same thing as so many others have done?

That aside, on the ground, there is really not much enforcement of the restrictions - less and less as each week passes and everyone accepts that the virus is here to stay.
> Shortage is real, but what often is omitted is the fact that it is the shortage at the senior level.

There's more possibility of shortage at the senior level and in more specialized areas.

Still, I'm not entirely sure how real it might be. Depends how it is measured. I'm in very senior and somewhat specialized roles, so that's my perspective. I see lots of companies opening reqs in my area and never filling them. The same job posting will stay open for years, sometimes.

Now, is that a shortage? Obviously they are continuing to do business just fine for years even without filling that position. Presumably they are interviewing tons of people and never hiring anyone, because they don't really feel any pressure to fill the position (otherwise, they would).

So it's worth considering, does that opening even really exist? Technically it's posted, they might be interviewing, but if nobody is ever good enough to hire and they continue to operate without ever hiring anyone... it feels more like a phantom req. Should such phantom reqs even be counted towards stats of companies trying to hire?

The driver is economic freedom, which produces both inequality and prosperity.

Trying to force equality means you've got to hammer people down, and that means take away the freedom.

Tyranny, such as Haiti, also produce inequality, but without the prosperity.
I wonder how useful these data sets really are. For example, I used their "clip retrieval" tool (https://rom1504.github.io/clip-retrieval/) and searched for the first random word that came to mind — "hug".

The results were all some sort of anime/cartoon drawings (perhaps just an issue with the Common Crawl results).

But the question remains — would a model trained on this data accurately identify a photo of two humans hugging?
Clang can dump the AST to JSON but there are some headaches when it comes to things like specialization or other circumstances.

If you wanted to go this route, using ClangSharp's XML output would probably be easier because it's been tailored to extract the "useful" bits and to expose some of the info that is hard to get at from a raw AST dump

I have memories of using the Dictionary Development Kit to create custom dictionaries (I remember creating one for medical jargon) about ten years ago. (At that time custom dictionaries are placed in ~/Library/Dictionaries, and system dictionaries in /System/Library/Dictionaries, not some obfuscated path like now.)

To find the Kit in question, simply Google "com.apple.TrieAccessMethod" and you should find it online.

That’s just not how vaccines work. You don’t take a vaccine for your own selfish needs, you take it for society’s needs.

There are certainly contexts in which that question can be answered differently. Say the actual question was "what is the [cheese] capital of France?", where the word is simply evident contextually. It's more than having a consistent view of the world, you have fundamentally better conceptual understanding that allow you to generalize the idea of political capitals to something unrelated like cheese and still understand the question. You also have a mental model of what the other person is thinking, so you know that "capital" probably isn't talking about cheese. GPT-3 doesn't have the former, and only knows the latter by statistical inference.

Some favorites
1. Work slowly.
2. Rehash settled items from previous meetings

Here are a few which could modernize the manual:

Force hangup the person speaking when available during critical moments.

Attend meetings late.

Always jump to another call when critical choices are made.

Review all possible options, and reject the best two for "security" reasons.

Let the contractors have free reign.

Hire only the long winded and argumentative.

Fire your testers and embed a few contractors to understudy your best devs.

Always fire the bottom ten percent.

Put your best devs on formatting reports.

Patently false from all available exemples.
The thing is, GPT-3 isn't a fact database, it's a story teller. So depending on how you phrase the input, it may tell you vastly different stories. There's no reason to expect it to reference the fact that Paris is the capital of France consistently in every story iteration.
Yep, I can't find anything either - I thought I read it four or five years ago in an interview with someone big in the C++ community.
> Companies didn't build the Internet

Companies built numerous networks, like Bix, Compuserve, Timenet, MCIMail, Prodigy, the RBBS system, etc.

The early internet also ran over the existing phone lines. Dedicated lines came later. That's why we used modems and dialup.
That seems... Not too bad?
Also most of the time when I am trying anything new related to computer science, I just search hacker news with few varying keywords related to that topic. Most of the time the results are pretty good.

Also you can combine the keyword + reddit the results are also good in terms of quality. Often time you find few discussion which provide good learning points.
The cool thing is, you get all the benefits of pipewire even if the audio comes in over pulse's API. All pulse audio applications magically got faster/lower latency/less buggy for me when I started using pipewire.
In all these cases if you asked a human for their initial gut response I imagine they’d make the same type of mistakes as GPT3, the difference is if you have someone a minute to think about it and review they wouldn’t.
Free markets need not only competition, but also regulation to price in externalities like poisoning the air or causing climate change.
> Is travelling at the speed of light, actually travelling a a fraction of the speed of time?

This is probably one of the more counter-intuitive simple calculations you can do in physics.

In special relativity, distance is given by:

ds^2 = dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2 - (c^2)dt^2

if X is your total distance in space, you have:

dX^2 = dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2

Which is just the standard Pythagorean theorem of Euclidean geometry.

Further, your velocity is given by dX/dt. If you are traveling at the speed of light, you have:

dX/dt=c

From which you can derive

dX^2 = (c^2) dt^2

dX^2 - (c^2) dt^2 = 0

ds^2 = 0

In other words, the "distance" light travels in space time is 0.

> just curious... does "time" have a "speed" ?

It is not clear how to parse this question. Traditional "speed" is defined as distance over time. We can give this meaning for time itself by realizing that there is no single notion of time in relativity. As such, you could consider the line parallel to the time axis in the coordinate system of observer A. Since dt=0 in the coordinates of observer A, the speed of this line is not well defined. However, we could consider the coordinates of observer B. Assuming B is moving relative to A, he would see this line as being slanted, with both a time component, and a space component. As such, B could compute the speed of this line as dX'/dt', where X' is the total displacement along B's 3 spatial dimensions, and dt' is the displacement in B's time dimension. As such, B could meaningfully answer "what is the speed of A's time". Assuming I didn't mess up on the math, dX'/dt' turns out to be the velocity of A relative to B. This is a curious result that I have never seen before, but I can't really see any physical significance to it.

B could also compute dt/dt', where t' is the time axis in B's coordinate system. This computation seems more useful as it gives a direct measure of time dilation. Unsurprisingly, it also works out to be the Lorentz factor.
wait.. electric cars are larger and heavier?

I must have missed seeing the commercial launches of all those bigger than Chrysler C's bigger than Toyota Landcruiser's, bigger than Ford F150's etc that must have been selling like hotcakes.

That claim alone is enough to discount your entire comment.
An oft-repeated claim in these debates, usually presented without evidence. But it's not self-evident to me.
"Phasing it out" is the same as banning it some time in the future. Why should alternatives be developed if you can just keep using it indefinitely? R&D is not free.

The original BLAS library on Netlib was and still is written in Fortran (F77 likely) but includes a C api called CBLAS that calls into the Fortran code. Alternatives like ATLAS or maybe Intels MKL might be written in C/C++ or other languages.

> It just takes 14 days of strict lockdowns...

The problem is you need to keep utilities running and hospitals open. Then there are slightly less strict lockdowns where people can get limited exercise outdoors, buy groceries, and food production continues. NSW tried this, and it's failing. I suspect it's a combination of delta is too contagious for lockdowns to work in practice, too many people will violate them, 14 days doesn't account for asymptomatic household spread, and 14 days is more like p95 than p999.
This is something that’s not considered often by proponents of lockdowns and mandates. Children need social and intellectual development early on. Robbing them of those activities during crucial early years will likely have a lifetime of consequences. In truth, COVID-19 has low IFR for those under 50, and it is extremely low for minors in particular - potentially as low as 0.001%. Lockdowns are giving the elderly a few extra years while robbing the young for a lifetime. It would make more sense for the elderly to self-quarantine and let others, particularly children, go about their lives.
I (40 yo non overweight, non smoker, non diabetic) got COVID back in March last year. I was healthy before that and got a 'mild' case by medical standards. And yet, I developed a nasty pneumonia in one of my lungs at that time.

After more than a year, I still haven't recovered my full lung function. As soon as I get in a room with AC I start to cough, and my lungs are sensitive to cold weather .

It may be 'just' 1 percent... But darn it sucks to win that lottery.

A better measure would be similar to Expected Utility: 1% multiplied by the 'loss' value of living the rest of your life fucked up.

Yes, I used Mathematica to author https://quivergeometry.net, but I had to write the markdown converter, katex generator, rasterization caching etc. myself. Took a while to set up but works quite well now.

Some parts of it are quite flexible, like using Mathematica stylesheets to separate style and content for particular mathematical forms and change them globally to find the most ergonomic thing, with Katex that matches the mathematica (though I have to manually maintain that correspondence).
They can. Smokers that contracted covid tended to have worse outcomes than average, but on average smokers were less likely to contract covid.

As a programmer and occasional electronics hobbyist most math I encounter is in the context of whitepapers, or physics/EE texts or similar. I don’t really read papers in pure mathematics. Perhaps the difficulty is due to sloppiness by non professional mathematicians.

I had a laugh back in ~2000 when VP Cheney said humans weren't having an impact on the environment. I grew up on long island and we used to pull bivalves (steamers, mussels, perriwinkels (not a bivalve)) in the 60's and 70's. Then in the 90's everything was banned due to pollution. O.G. immigrants still harvested despite the bans, but it was sad to see the consequence of pollution.
