I have just added video tutorials to all my R workshops and have had a _huge_ boost in satisfaction among students (mostly < 30). I can't understand it — the videos are slow, inexpertly produced and have nothing that is not in the text. The students love it though and there is no way I'll be able to run the sister course next semester without also adding videos.

I should have known better than to just write "my first thought" without further qualification...

While the author may not have written "purely visual", there is this quote, immediately preceding the claims quoted at the root of this thread:

"At Daedalean, we have built a system that uses nothing but visual input, just like the human pilot in that almost-uninstrumented aircraft from 80 years ago, to..." [my emphasis.]

So, while the author does not use "purely", he states something equivalent to doing so. Furthermore, the entire tenor here is that they are not using any of the modern technologies that are currently central to commercial aviation (why he wishes to stress this fact is another issue altogether.)

My point here is a bit more subtle that pointing out the obvious: that automating VFR flight will not cut it (with or without GPS and other aids, for that matter.) It is, rather, that there remains a huge gap between what they have achieved so far (or could be achieved just by integrating GPS and similar aids) and what will be required to achieve the level of performance blithely suggested in the comment about landing on the Hudson river.

UPDATE: I made that last point in a different comment; what I was wondering here was why the author seems determined to point out that their current system does not use GPS etc. - perhaps because any of that would make it look less like AI?
NFTs only prove the first derivative of ownership. There is no mechanism within the blockchain that can prove that the person who minted the NFT owned the media associated with the NFT, e.g. there's nothing stopping you from minting an NFT claiming ownership of an actual Picasso. Which means that we have to fall back to the traditional system of legal contracts and physical possession to prove the ownership, at which point the NFT isn't adding anything.

The NFT is also not the work in question. While there are some proof of concept works that have their binary data stored directly in the blockchain, the vast majority are just URLs to some other site, URLs that could die or change at any time. And there is no recourse within the blockchain itself to adjudicate the breach of trust that would represent. Which means, again, we have to fall back on the traditional system of legal contracts and courts to resolve disputes.

In other words, the decentralized, "zero-trust" nature of NFTs completely undermines any concept of ownership that isn't a post-hoc rationalization designed to part fools from dollars.
Why did you put an apostrophe in "fee's" but not in "rails"?

This isn't a grammar-nazi criticism because I frequently make similar mistakes with pluralization.

It strikes me that there must be some cognitive explanation for why some plurals seem to need an apostrophe when other plurals don't.

Yes, except this type of event is massively DEflationary.

Creation of more debt is creation of more money, increasing supply, and is inflationary.

Conversely, destruction of debt destroys money, and is deflationary, in this case, deflationary to the dollar.

Also, selling of dollar-denominated assets also decreases the dollar-value of those assets and so increases the value of the dollar.

But it is inflationary for the Chinese currency.

This is why with the Fed's QE programs since the 2008 crash everyon ehas been yelling "Inflation!!" for over a decade, yet there was none-negative until this year, and even that is arguably transient. So much money was destroyed in that crisis that they have been ever since then trying to fill in the (deflationary) hole.

To the extent that that debt is denominated in dollars and is about to be destroyed, it will be dollar-deflationary, not inflationary.
This description reminds me of my public school. My point is that there's enormous variation in both private schools and public schools. I think there should be more nuanced terms for public schools than lumping them all together.

In high school I described my public school as faux-public given that the school district was dependent on local property values (yes, definition of public school) while support from the state was negligible to the overall budget.

In the four years I was there we had maybe a fight (more of a tussle) about once a year, our football team won a game about every two years, and our science olympiad or other extra curriculum program placed nationally every year. If students were working on projects it wasn't surprising if the teacher left to make photocopies or do other things while we worked. In terms of outcomes, in my math/hard sciences about 75% attended ivies. There are many great private schools in the area but given that they have the same test scores (while being able to choose their student body) and same college outcomes I would not recommend discrediting a school simply because it is public

The same thing is happening right now with plastic pollution. Plastic waste in the environment breaks down into smaller and smaller particles, eventually forming plastic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and entering the brains of aquatic organisms and mammals [1].

At this point I'm not sure there's a great deal of research about the consequences of that contamination, but I think most of us will agree that it's not likely to turn out well.

You can substitute the word openness for creativity in my post, it doesn't really change the argument. The words are made up anyway, they did a factor analysis over lots of questionnaire responses and then found the largest contributing factors. Then they kind of eyeball the questions and tried to come up with a word that described the kinds of questions in that cluster. Openness is prob more accurate, but creativity is more readily understood and close enough to be used when trying to convey a message imo.
It's absurd because if you have a car, someone else doesn't have a car, and the car has intrinsic usefulness. Having the car in your name isn't valuable in and of itself; it's valuable because it allows you to claim the car as your own, and the car is useful and can only be moved, not copied.

Having a JPEG as your own isn't valuable, because JPEGs can be infinitely copied at zero cost. The title for the artwork doesn't mean anything when anyone can duplicate it.

If you want to spend money on art, why not commission some artwork from your favorite artist instead of throwing away money on procedurally generated garbage with a zillion transaction fees tacked on? At least that way the artwork might be something unique to you with a personal significance which makes it have more intrinsic value to you than it would to someone else.

PPP was not just about restaurants and entertainment. It was about putting financial pressure on businesses to retain employees. You could not get the loan forgiven if you fired anyone. At the time, there was massive uncertainty and the program was meant to shore up both business and consumer confidence. This objective was good for businesses.

Did everyone actually need it? Certainly not, but was already enough chaos and bureaucracy around getting the aid flowing that any additional tests would have been just more gum in the works. Additionally, there was political pressure from the Republicans to forbid any kind of accounting for the aid.

Government stimulus/welfare/aid is nothing new and PPP is certainly not the end of capitalism.

That is just my view of it though and I would be happy to know more about others'

Not sure about Italy, but if it's at all like the US it would typically go to the treasury of the jurisdiction in which the fine occurred. It could then (in theory) be treated the same as tax revenue - but government budgets are complicated things, so I'd say the likelihood of the fine providing direct relief to those impacted by the crime are exceedingly low.

The absurd part would be that there are multiple registries, so more than one person can own the same NFT since they are on different systems. Which one is used to prove ownership? The one backed by entity A or the one backed by entity B?

I wanted to talk about that particular idea and don’t think that you can have a comment with a link in a post.
"Through its graduates, Yale exerts an outsized influence on the daily lives of most Americans — for example, Yale educated three of the last six U.S. presidents, and eight sitting Supreme Court Justices attended either Harvard or Yale at some point."

Three of six presidents: Bush, Bush, and (law school only) and Clinton. None of the three seems or seemed much afflicted by wokeness.

Of the eight sitting Supreme Court justices indicated, five are conservative to deeply conservative.

I would say that all graduated from these colleges or law schools when the tone was more or less liberal. In G.H.W. Bush's day maybe it was less, but even then William F. Buckley used Yale as bad example in Up From Liberalism.

There is no need to limit our thinking to hardware or materials.

From where I sit, it is easy to find spillover benefits.

First, think about all the tools and techniques used in building scalable adtech: infrastructure; architecture; inferential statistics; data science; machine learning; social experimentation; even hardware innovations to advance these things. I grant that not all of these are strictly necessary nor exclusive to adtech, but adtech's money certainly contributes to them.

Second, think about the hundreds of thousands of people (software developers, academics, etc) who work in the field and get to practice their craft and deepen their experience and knowledge. Without adtech, the field would be much smaller. These people cross-pollinate the industry.

Third, think wealth accumulation. Our time in history is special: when else have so many people have gained so much wealth so quickly? A sizeable chunk of these people want to take on non-adtech challenges and disrupt other industries.

> Sure, people can copy and paste a JPEG, but they can’t copy the title. Just like driving a friends car doesn’t make you the owner.

This is exactly why NFTs are different to a car title. If someone tries to use your car (the car which you have the title to) without your permission, then the police can intervene. (They often won't, but that's the principle.) In theory at least, they have no right to make use of that object.

If I own the NFT for a JPEG, there's nothing I can do to stop someone copying it, as you say. Not even an ineffective or theoretical method. That's just not part of the rights associated with an NFT to begin with.

In fact it's worse than that. The JPEG (or the image it represents) can still have copyright that someone can own and sell on independently of the NFT. That copyright is the actual analogue of a car title (though enforcement by the police is even less likely). You could have a NFT of a JPEG but not be allowed, in theory, to have a copy the JPEG itself!
Consider how widely available high-speed broadband through Starlink might change some of these things once that makes living in the interior of the country more desirable. I think we may end up seeing a sort of reverse of the industrial revolution's migration pattern over the coming decades.
So instead of actually debunking his arguments you published a handwavy reply? I very much think that if someone is offering insanely high ROIs but does not divulge how the value is created, you can safely assume it's a scam, and simply pointing out the disparity suffices as proof to me at least.
No - when you buy a house - you also are "buying a title". That's not why people buy houses or cars. They buy them to use & own them.

Maybe Ultra High Net Worth Individuals who collect cars and $10M lakefront mansions across the world don't buy cars and houses to "use" them. But >99% of cars and houses are bought for use - not for a piece of paper to prove ownership.

Sure - the people buying $1M NFTs are probably Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (or complete frauds - maybe both?). But the majority of NFTs are not $1M - and the majority of people buying them are not Ultra High Net Worth Individuals.
If you do that some will default (which is the point right?).

But then house prices will fall, the economy will falter and interest rates on loans will go up.

And when that happens people who were previously fine will suddenly start defaulting too.

This is the problem with contagiousness, moral risk etc. If you don't bail out the first (worst) group to default, you rapidly find that people who were fine before are now no longer creditworthy.

To be clear, I'm not arguing this is fair or right or "should" be. I'm just explaining the decision that a theoretical politician would face.
I've worked with it at two companies - a finserv company in Eastern US through '96 where it was basically just an interface to the COBOL systems running on the mainframe, and IBM's ImagePlus via a C wrapper.

Then into the early 2000s at FirstUSA/BankOne/Chase, where it powered their card services CRM system. This application had a metric ton of business logic, and tied together DB2, 3270 scraping via custom C executable, ImagePlus for viewing customer letters and correspondence history (also brokered via custom C executable), and a few other systems. We eventually replaced with with a C++/MFC application on Windows backed by CORBA services in a massive port effort. For a very long time the new application was a much worse experience than the original.

Easel was commonly used in OS/2 financial shops (both of the above fit that category) with heavy mainframe integration. I would have to assume there are /some/ legacy users still kicking around, but the last I knew of were a few Boston-area companies phasing it out also in the early 2000s. Around that time, consultancy rates for the language started to go way up as domain expertise was pretty rare.

Easel's 'block' style (I don't remember exactly what it was called) for accepting input from external systems was the first time I ran into anything like the pattern matching I next saw in Erlang. I enjoyed working with Easel - it presented a reasonable abstraction for GUI creation and interaction, was easy to integrate, and the event model made a lot of sense.

It was also obtuse and sometimes painful to use, but no more so than any other language (then or now).

I started doing a little digging when I saw this article, and came across this in Jeff Sutherland's "The Scrum Handbook" [1]

Scrum has risen from being a method used by a number of
enthusiasts at the Easel Corporation in 1993, to one of
the world’s most popular and well-known frameworks for
development of software. The continued expansion of the
global rollout of Scrum is testimony to the fact that Scrum
delivers on its promise.

And

The first Scrum team was created at Easel
Corporation in 1993 by Dr. Jeff Sutherland (the
author of this manual) and the Scrum framework was
formalized in 1995 by Ken Schwaber.

> When you buy an NFT, you’re really buying the title for that artwork.

You're not necessarily, though. When Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet as a NFT, it didn't infer any actual ownership rights. You couldn't even make him delete it.

A car's title holds specific legal weight. The only way NFTs do is if there's a contract, at which point you don't need the NFT anyways.
Exactly. You're trying to leverage for more returns.
Sorry for the offtopic, but can you tell me the name of the ad-less tuner app? I've been searching for one, but the best I found was Fender's. Which is pretty ok, too.
This creates at least one agent that will directly suffer the consequences of the default they caused.

Of course one can create two companies, make the first borrow from the second, make the second hide the money and default, get the first bailed out and pocket the hidden stash.

But they'll be easier to go after.
It's interesting that OP did seemingy little research with respect to existing work in the field.

https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medline/medline_overview.html

Medline, a searchable online directory of medical research papers has existed for 50 years. The National Library of Medicine for many years was a leader in document search and retrieval before there was a web. In the 80's they were doing vector cosine document similarity, document clustering and automated classifcation. They were also doing so great stuff like indexing papers based on proteins and gene sequences - so a paper which might be in a field completely different than yours might pop up if a similar protein or sequence was mentioned.

(Disclosure - I worked at the National Library of Medicine in the 90's)

That being said, in the past 30 years search and retrieval exploded to say nothing of ML, but its crazy to ignore the stuff which has come before, AND it's tough to compete with a national lab whose mandate is to basically give the stuff away.
As an example, Anderson Cooper of CNN proudly admits that he worked as an intern at the CIA. Do with that what you will. There's a prejudice to pejoratively dismiss these things out of hand as conspiracy theory. One could easily push back asking about naivete, but it isn't worth it.
