I don't believe just being transcendental is sufficient for that property.

E.g. I can't imagine that pi with all the '1' digits replaced by '2' isn't transcendental, but it clearly doesn't contain every sequence of digits.

I think you mean normal numbers.

The article was very disappointing not answering to the most obvious question of "how can a pattern manager that does not understand (at this stage of the discipline) the very patterns it uses and generates, compete with no less than Beethoven". A large number of experts was reportedly used: how their contribution could correct the obvious and known faults of current generative AI would have been the big question.
What pains me is that these are the exact articles that make people outside of the field say "AI fails to deliver", "AI is just a bunch of ifs" or "AI is just snake oil the new winter is coming".

Most actually interesting ML/DL projects are not stuff that the public directly interacts with so you end up with a ton of inconsequential stuff like this article and real progress is just not visible.
Brilliant. This tracing technique is great for Rust and Code, and likely many more languages and editors. I'm glad to be an early adopter. Thank you!
Bingo!

And for people who might contest the "peer review" dimension, it's not so much about having peer reviewed things, it is about clearly disclosing the basis from which you're putting forward a statement you claim to be true.

That said, I'm not doubting that the YouTube mechanisms for suppression of irresponsibly disbursed information and misinformation has a high false positive rate especially when addressing similar topics. And hopefully YouTube can address that over time.

It's worded a bit ambiguously, but I think it means we have to deal with the knowledge of how much we don't know about something and when making policy, every new think you don't know is a point of contention that can be argued over. In some cases that's beneficial, because it keeps us from making a mistake, in others it's detrimental, because it keeps us from making the beneficial change, but if all policy decisions start tending towards infinite argumentation as more and more things we don't know the answers to are linked to the topic, that's also a problem.
This is cool. There is a lot of money in the edu software space. The big players (e.g. Blackboard) have expensive contracts, but some of their software is aging and you may be able to develop wanted features faster.
I've just always considered understanding and being able to debug your environment to be a standard part of the job. As a professional software developer working in a Solaris environment, knowing how Solaris works, how to use the shell, tools, and other stuff is just basic.

Back in the 90's I worked at a company doing development on HP Apollo workstations. They were X based and used CDE for the desktop environment. When I started there, I invested some time to learn how it all hung together, how to leverage ToolTalk, and customized my system to do cool stuff.

There was another developer who had started there a month before me, and had the same workstation. They had a problem one day that they wanted my help with, so I went to their desk for the first time. I found their screen had the default X stipple pattern, and a single terminal window 80 characters wide, maybe 2/3rds of the screen tall, and placed somewhat off center in the screen.

I thought it slightly odd, but was distracted by the problem at hand. So at one point when they had some code up in the single window in vi, I asked them to open another terminal so we could do some other stuff. They just sort of sat there, so I asked again. They got agitated and snapped that they didn't know how to do that.

This was a professionally employed C programmer, with several years of experience prior to this, who had been working with this equipment for several months, and _didn't know how to open a second terminal window_. They didn't have CDE running, because when you log in you can select your desktop, and they kept picking just a plain, raw X session with the default xterm. They were completely and utterly uninterested in the capabilities of the hardware, OS, and desktop environment.

The same goes for the issue with the crashing JNI driver in my other comment. Maybe you don't know how to write your own JNI stuff, but I just expected that any developer who'd been using Java for any length of time would at least _know_ about how the JVM works in general, and what a coredump means in the context of a Java program. Specifically, that it's not your software that's causing it, and that trying to fix it by rewriting and debugging your Java code is a waste of time.

Perhaps the temptation is to choose philosophies that have the appearance of power. Sticking pins in a voodoo doll of your boss, Mr. Scrooge for example.

They may not be, but they are certainly acting that way. Which is even more infuriating. People with perfectly functioning brains that refuse to use them.
You're talking about minority-supported forks as if it was some kind of hypothetical scenario, where these forks couldn't possibly have any value. But it's not a hypothetical scenario, it's a scenario which has occurred multiple times in practice. So we don't have to discuss in hypotheticals about whether those minority-supported forks would have any value or not; we can look at what actually happened in those instances. For example, Bitcoin Cash right now has $9B market cap (not $0, like you imply).

> There is nothing functional about React.

The whole concept of React is to model the UI as a function of the state. React was first made in Standard ML (you don't really get more functional than this). Jordan Walke, the creator, went on to work on ReasonML, an hybrid between the OCaml and JavaScript ecosystems, to try to leverage the functional parts of OCaml.

> Impure behavior, including algebraic effects, is best avoided in functional programming.

This is wrong though. Functional programming doesn't shy away from impurity. Algebraic effects are a way to handle impurity, which is unavoidable.

Doesn't 4chan kind of disprove this though? I mean sure /pol/ can be a bit of a cesspool, but that's not all of 4chan. It was designed as a toxic waste storage facility and it has done that job fairly well.

You can hold great conversations on any of the like 30 other boards on the site without worrying about censorship or performance for internet points. There is still moderation, just the minimum amount possible.

A default of anonymity also helps curb a lot of spillover into the real world that happens between users of other forum sites.

The only reason 4chan gets dragged through the mud is because its containment facilities (/pol/, /b/, etc.) are among the most active boards. That speaks more to the human condition than 4chan in that people, when given a choice, tend to gravitate towards the least moderated sections of a website because they are the most engaging.

In terms of a solution I think it offers a fairly good one. If you don't want to have to keep banning malcontents across your site, then give them a place to congregate and they will mostly stay there. Try to ban them and they swarm looking for a new home.
Yeah, but if you are opposed to functional programming (or opposed to exposure to any new programming paradigms) of course you’ll hate the library that has had perhaps the largest impact in bringing concepts from functional
programming into the mainstream. That’s perfectly understandable. But I like functional programming and I very much like React’s impact in this area.
> Your freedom to catch and spread covid to me is not supported by established law.

But art is defined as drawings (/sculptures, etc) made by the annointed elite.

Does Will have an obligation to create a sustainable funding solution for every person who is doing important work? Or does Will just have an obligation to make their personal niche within the world sustainable?

To me, if Will is trying to build software that is genuinely valuable to people, and if people are willing to give them money so that software continues to exist, then that's enough. I don't think Will is also obligated to solve Open Source funding on a systemic level. "Do things that don't scale" is still often sound business advice.
It is a graduate class, well past any level where you'd expect reading lists to be a representative slice of anything. I'd generally expect a graduate class on "the 19th century novel" to be roughly built around whatever books the PhD student or professor teaching the class personally loves and knows very deeply.

And military history should involve the voices of women. There is more to the subject than just who marched where and who gave orders when.

I just wanted to add that reality being a non-discrete geometric thing is still an assumption - we don't know for sure that it isn't discrete and a lot of quantum stuff points more toward a discrete reality than a continuous one.

So assuming continuous space/time and discrete information then I'd agree, but as far as we know space/time aren't continuous, but just appear that way to us. It doesn't seem like we know for sure that it is discrete, but at the least I'd say it's solid evidence that stuff like brain scanning is definitely in the realm of possibility.

This answer from the Physics StackExchange nicely covers how time/space could appear continuous to us even if they are in fact discrete at lower levels. Also some interesting discussion in the other answers

The problem is actually how good those recommendations are. They're designed to keep your eyes glued to the site as long as possible. It's a personal choice, but removing recommendations is one of the best things for your mental health if you're going to use YT or any social media.

That said, I also find them useful. But some people believe that it's better to seek out information for yourself even if being spoonfed is easier.

For good or ill, Americans don't like being told what to do. If a person wants to gamble their life away, that's their business. If a person wants to drink themselves into oblivion, also their business...as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

I play poker and of course I see people who are addicted to gambling. I feel bad for them. A non-zero pct of poker players manage a bankroll and play at their skill level and occasionally will play above their level to "see if they can do it," and often they get scared and jump back down to a safe level.

The one thing I will absolutely refute is any kind of "morality" assigned to gambling. It's an entertainment choice. I could play golf every other day and spend _way_ more money. I could travel and spend more money. I could enjoy fine dining weekly and spend more money. I might have a wine collection or car collection.

People have passions and gambling is just one of many. If you and others want to live in a cave and not enjoy whatever it is you enjoy that costs money, then I feel bad for you. You're only in this life once. Embrace it like it's your last....with the caveat that you should still be responsible to your family and community.
Hitler convinced almost half the country to vote for him because of speech that drummed up resentments stemming from the Versailles Treaty and the depression, channeling and anthropomorphizing those resentments towards Jews, the lugenpresse, the military establishment, and so on. So you've missed my point, which is that town square offline speech can directly cause pathological outcomes when it is weaponized by bad faith actors.

The belief that sunlight is the best disinfectant is nothing more than empty sloganeering and it flies in the face of everything we know about social contagion and the willingness of humans to be led astray by tribal hatred.

Town square offline speech didn't lead specifically to mass shootings historically only because this particular medium of terrorism is a modern fashion trend, so it follows that it's a phenomenon that's going to be motivated online more than offline in the modern context.

TBF the four authors have names that appear to be Italian and German. They acknowledge the contribution of someone who provided DAX data (German stock index, like the CAC or Dow). And lots of subordinate clauses are common in written German, or at least a lot more common than in English.

So while I agree the sentence is rather contorted, there is a sympathetic explanation. Especially as the authors claim no institutional affiliations.

I don’t think such a sentence would be justified coming from an institution in an English-speaking country.
I don't think that Boghossian is a leader in this space, but I do think that this is related. The reason why there is a market for "professor turned pundit after being kicked out by the over-woke universities" is because there is a demand for a narrative of universities (especially the humanities) being intellectually bankrupted in favor of left wing ideology. Boghossian sells that narrative to people who want to believe it.

> If you can still catch and spread it those who are vaccinated should be subject to the same testing requirements as the unvaccinated.

You're misunderstanding the precise use of the word "can" here. I can win the lottery. I can win a coin toss. But the odds are drastically different, and so en masse, we should plan and test much more for the "much more likely" case than the other. Now, vaccination against COVID gives better odds of not catching and not spreading COVID. You still _can_, though.

It's not true that any transcendental number would work. A transcendental number is a number which isn't the root of any polynomial with rational coefficients. This property doesn't imply that it contains all number sequences.

What's the Right Dose for Covid Boosters?
Speaking specifically to the Pfizer vaccine, it’s gone from 95% effective against preventing severe symptoms against the Alpha variant to 88% against Delta in less than 6 months of the vaccine being widely available to the public (With some even less optimistic peer-reviewed studies coming out of Israel, I’m just going by what the CDC is reporting). So under these circumstances, maybe it makes sense to wait a year or two before making claims about the long-term effectiveness of the vaccines. If they aren’t effective long-term some people might make different decisions about what vaccine they decide to take.
These are weird conclusions. Any attempt to measure “reality” gives some amount of uncertainty. The only way for this to lead to the relatively stable experience you perceive is if those small variations in measurement lead to relatively small differences in perception. In which case, you can truncate the resolution of your simulation and still get plausible results.

I assure you there are plenty of groups out there simulating systems that operate with similar densities (but lower volume) to the brain.
