No, you are misunderstanding. People are saying Postgres does message broking quite well. That makes it the right tool for the job for many people. You have a hard time believing it but people who have actually done it are saying otherwise. This is your misunderstanding.
It's still an exotic model, but if there's an extra dimension that light can fit into - even a tiny loop that it just spirals around as it propagates - then it's possible that at higher energy densities, it spirals at a shallower angle. That would make it appear to propagate through the three normal spatial dimensions faster even if it has the same speed across all four dimensions.

João Magueijo wrote an approachable book on this called "Faster than the Speed of Light: The Story of a Scientific Speculation".

Haftor can't really do this, but I'm pretty sure he can rip one of those monkeys in half if he catches it.
Thanks for trying to help out, but that's the FDA, not CDC. And this is a much murkier situation. Ivermectin does seem to help Covid, but it looks like that's correlation, not causation.

Astral Codex Ten has a great writeup on this, and a big controversial debate with the ivermectin crowd. It's pretty glorious, and I do recommend reading it in its entirety.

If you do want to call this a lie, I suppose I could see it. Someone claims something helps Covid, but it shouldn't, because it doesn't make sense, so instead of trusting the studies, they go out making a bold claim like this, that ivermectin is completely ineffective.

In any case, this does reduce trust in those agencies, when they ignore science and instead spout off politically-expedient dismissals of data.

But I wouldn't call it lying, really.
I think early during the pandemic we were generally given advice to find 80% or better. Pretty much straight alcohol plus a little bit of stuff to make it gel-like or smell nice or whatever.

You're quite right about the non-parenthetical, I failed to re-read what I wrote in an editing pass. It should of course be "with" instead of "without", or alternatively change the "greater" to "lesser". I am grateful for the correction.

As to your parenthetical, cuspiness is not really relevant to the scale of the points raised in the bulk of my comment, and it is not clear to me why you raise the DM density profile here.

There are Smalltalks that don't live in a VM. I still contend that the Smalltalk vendors overpriced their wares in the era of Turbo Pascal and they all went a bit Java crazy which amounted to nothing.

It is a shame that Self and F-Script didn't gain a bit of attention.
Do you have a source for “practice makes you better”? Last I checked only N-back benefits from practice, the rest doesn’t.
Amateur so I’m sure this is a stupid idea. What if they’re not accelerating away from us but space time itself is growing (because of the original Big Bang) and taking everything else along for the ride on top of the original exploding outward, resulting in acceleration of acceleration? Probably it’s growth rate would be decreasing which might be observable in the derivative of the derivative of acceleration? If that were happening, I wonder if virtual particles have some link to that process.

My reasoning here is that everything is accelerating from everything else since our position in the galaxy isn’t particularly special right? Then the only way for that really to be true would be for space time itself to be growing.
Happy to AMA about that.

It's easy to dismiss stuff like this without having interacted with these models, but there's something visceral about doing so that at least personally left me re-assessing some of my viewpoints on ML/AI. I've had a chance to interact with the model in the article and it is truly a spooky experience.

I'm talking about your rhetorical strategy. You've got a reasonable view, and you're being ineffective in advancing it.
Pharo is a Smalltalk, but they're ok with moving in new directions.

As a Python coder, I played with Pharo and tried several tutorials and read a book on Smalltalk-80. I get the gist of things, but have trouble actually writing the code as things aren't obvious and there is no StackOverflow or cookbook for common tasks. It took me forever to figure out how to do file IO and that sort of thing. The other problem is that deployment isn't just running a script, but deploying the image and runtime of some obscure language nobody has ever heard of in enterprise software and no IT department is going to be cool with it.

That is definitely part of the thought, and I am tending to thinking that there needs to be more than one index, to be able to compare both sentence level and larger sections on different tabs, since the comparisons are quite different in nature (avoiding hard lines, it is still the case that sentence comparison is closer to grammatical and linguistic dependency, whereas longer passages will tend to reflect deeper thematic relationships).

What I was attempting to ask was more on how to effectively compare longer sections of text. It sounds like you are saying it is fine to compare them directly. So, due to very, very irregular formatting between texts that will likely never change, we would probably be stuck using only sentences and 'documents' (an article, a chapter of a book, etc).

So my questions, from a technical perspective, are:

1) do you find you get better results treating these longer texts as a series or words or a series of sentences, and should we be performing a double vectorization, were we vectorize all sentences, and then vectorize the longer text as a series of sentence vectors instead of using a word vectorization technique directly?

2) Assuming we have decided we want to vectorize sentences and longer sections of texts regardless of whether we use sentence vectors for the latter, do we use the same or different vectorization techniques/algorithms for both tasks, and do you have any recommendations on specific algorithms for either case?

Many thanks!
A pity about F-Script for sure, if only it had targeted app builders. Smalltalk history seems to be littered with abandoned projects. Amber ST in the browser and F-Script on OSX come foremost to mind.

>I certainly don’t see the value in releasing NFTs that represent public domain images if they don’t come with actual utility.

They're the same as any NFT really. Do people really care about the art quality of their apes? The whole gimmick is they're supposed to appreciate in value for some reason. So why couldn't a public domain image appreciate in value too?
I agree in principle but you're missing a small point: journalists are not proxies to the truth, they are proxies to a perspective.

You should NEVER read an article to learn about an absolute reality, but to understand the arguments on a complex issue by a small group of stakeholders, by no mean guardians of reality interpretation.

If you accept that sad fact of life, that we cant know who's right on anything not spawned directly from physical reality (and even then...), then you can embrace journalistic diversity and read several.

I can give you an example close to me in China: there is a debate to have on Tiananmen: the reaction by the communist was certainly aggressive, but there are nuances. The movement failed to accept several compromises because it grew so big nobody could be delegated to represent it officially and they got stuck on successive waves of negociation that could have ended with progress. The army itself struggled and had to recall a first wave who fraternized with the movement to then lie to a second wave who thought they were crushing a rebellion they misunderstood, which probably made the massacre more violent than it could have been. I think the communists were trapped just as much as the movement into an impasse that led to a massacre they didnt enjoy having to commit. They're not evil per se in that regard: they could not see at the time any alternative.

That's my perspective, it's probably hard to read, but I built this complex opinion by reading beyond my comfort zone. I could be wrong and must continue to listen, but you see how this probably cant appear if you just read one side ? And where China is wrong imo is they refuse to discuss it openly in those terms. If a French immigrant raised in the fear of communism can accept to tolerate their side, what are they so scared of ? Throw perspectives at people and they ll figure someth out.

While I think there's a generally accepted definition of morpheme (as the smallest distinctive unit), that doesn't give you a good definition of the word. (Because there isn't one.)

Funny you use the term morphology like that. To me it's basically synonymous with inflection, very traditional, where morpheme is very much a structuralist term. But all my teachers were cognitive-functional linguists, so everything was cut rather different and sometimes it's hard to talk.
Noted. Thanks for sharing your experiences with that. We need to hear more about lackluster investments in tech.
At first I thought, "how could anything be slower than python?" And then I figured that you probably would've ported it to leverage things like numpy which makes a lot of operations into native code and takes advantage of highly optimized blas libs, etc.
I used to give to Wikipedia but stopped when I discovered that they were claiming that The Grayzone / Moderate Rebels were a special fourth category of untrusted in their three tier system of source ranking.

I still like and use it, but that smacks of an especially sneaky variant of censorship.

The Grayzone / Moderate Rebels definitely take an independent, outsider slant on important stories with an upfront, stated intent of being anti-imperialist, but they do not fabricate stories. That makes them a superior source to the NYT (let's invade Iraq) or any of the CNN, MSNBC outlets pushing anti-Russia and anti-China hysteria.

Wikipedia is too useful and important to be left in the hands of people with marked political biases.

This is completely wrong; I think you must be thinking of something other than Dvorak.

"The" requires both hands on Dvorak, and "th" is the easiest right-hand finger-roll¹, equivalent to "kj" on Qwerty. E is one of the strongest keys on the left hand.

On Qwerty, this extremely common English word requires moving the fingers away from the home position, and the T (second most frequent English letter) is one of the longer stretches.

Taking your most recent longer comment (Category Theory), typed on Qwerty there are 354 alternate-hand transitions. On Dvorak, there are 451.

With the simplest fragment, "there are even books about it", and the left hand shown in capital letters:

Qwerty: ThERE ARE EVEn BookS ABouT It.
Dvorak: thErE ArE EvEn bOOKs AbOUt It.

If you touch-type Qwerty, try typing "Kjdod aod d.dl nssv; ansfk gke".

These statements are true. But the problem with many of them is that the US is very diverse and very large compared to the countries against which it is competing. Compare the US against the Netherlands and it doesn't do so well. Compare it against Europe and it's a very different story. It is much more interesting to divide the US into its individual states and compare certain of them against these countries instead. I recall someone finding that several US states are better in many of these measures than every single country in the world (and of course several are ... not).

The purpose of C was to be an optimizable low-level language. If programmers wanted those things, the sense was always one of “ok, do it yourself and use it as a library.”

There are definite pros and cons to that particular standards methodology. It is, without any question, the most distributable language. The ABI is and will likely always be intact.

Nobody has ever argued that C is anything other than that. It’s about as dead simple as it can be.

There are other languages for other purposes. Rust and C++ are, in all cases I’m aware of, equivalent in performance to their “ideal” C program alternatives.

Nobody has ever argued until just recently that C is or ever has been anything other than what it is or that there is some kind of battle going on between Rust and “c/c++.” Nothing could be more untrue. C and C++ are different things. Though, with a clear lack of understanding you can write a “c” program in c++. The same is true with rust — everything can still be mutable and you can still have undefined behavior very easily (perhaps most easily with IO).

Plenty of other languages exist, too, with other ways of solving these problems. Haskell is a wonderful language which I hope someday to develop with if there was only some way of making it easier to work with file systems without a PHD.

This particular flame war between rust, c, and c++ is so contrived and tired and misleading.

It will be hard but by no means impossible. Your brain is trainable in the same way, that your body is when you exercise. I'm by no means unaffected by all this, but being 40+, I experienced my entire pre-adult life without the Web or with a very different form of it at least.

I highly recommend making the effort to slow your mind. My brain works best when relaxed, not multitasking / not too many "tabs" open. I find that the best ideas come to me when I'm not even thinking and grinding the cogs of my conscious mind at least. I'm not sure what's going on but when the mind gets quiet, ideas and insights bubble to the surface. I guess the background processing (of which most of the brain is I guess) somehow has a chance to emerge.

Apart from this, I find it a much more satisfying state of mind to inhabit. It feels like relaxed contentment, not anxious and dissatisifed grasping at a million things underpinned by FOMO that I need the next bit of info / distraction. Don't get me wrong though, I get days when I fall down the hole of distraction too. I'm just really trying to hang on to what I developed many years ago. These days you have to actively cultivate this, whereas it came more naturally in the past.

I don't really know but lets play their advocate.

Probably they are stuck in academia market or really research market because that is who they know and this is their target audience.

Moving to more enterprise context would cost them effort, they would have to hire enterprise sales people and spend money on making new connections.

Then to gain real foothold they would have to implement security/auditing/SSO and other enterprise requirements. Which would be quite heavy investment and quite high risk one, because they will never know if any of it will be useful. Like they get first customer, roll out all of that and then growth stagnates and maybe they are stuck on 2-3 customers who keep making demands, but there is no growth to cover for the "enterprise features" investments.

Keep in mind also that not everyone wants to be a unicorn, if they are happy with what they have and roll with it, it is also fine.
