I have worked in companies where sloppyness was culturally acceptable.

Code quality just did deteriorate over time as little things started to accumulate everywhere.

Assessing logical consistency of a following statement would increase prediction accuracy (assuming that human-generated text is more consistent than it is not), but only after you have plucked all lower-hanging fruit. The best model of what comes next in a math paper is a mathematician.

So GPT-N not trying to does not necessarily mean GPT-N+1 can't do it, it just means that it has cheaper ways to increase its prediction scores.

"[...] a treasured book is more important than a dance card, or the photo that freezes you in mid-teeter at the edge of the Grand Canyon, because such a book can be a significant event in the history of your reading, and your reading should be an essential segment of your character and your life. Unlike the love we’ve made or meals we’ve eaten, books congregate to form a record around us of what they’ve fed our stomachs or our brains. These are not a hunter’s trophies but the living animals themselves."

> So its merely adding a new vaccine to the already existing lists.

First, it's not a vaccine like the other ones, since the infection still spreads among vaccinated people. It does not sterilize the virus at all. It simply protects YOU, and only you, from the worst effects.

Second, why stop at vaccines then? Let's have passports for everything under the sun like China with their social score, and let's remove any kind of individual rights and submit to our dear leader(s) since they know what is best for everyone, even though this virus only kills people with at least 3-4 comorbidities. Let the ones most at risk get the shot, and the rest can decide for themselves. It's only a crisis because we are calling it one.

Wrong argument to use since vaccinated people spread the virus just as well. Get your facts right when you want to debate. Also, if you are vaccinated your risk of dying is virtually zero, so why would YOU care?
From what little I know, Bose has patents on a number of noise-cancelling techniques, hence making it tricky for other manufacturers to match them in noise-cancelling. However, in the past five years, several other manufacturers have done pretty well (though I believe some cross-licence patents with Bose), and Sony and Apple do lead in some comparative reviews.

It is a shame that Bose's lead in noise-cancelling isn't matched in the quality of their sound.

Well we can use this to execute a reductio ad absurdam on scientific materialism. Let us assume that the logic of cause and effect is all there is to the universe. Then the big bang must have had a cause, and that cause a cause in turn, and so on. That's obviously absurd, even if we point at time beginning with the big bang. Within any human reasoning, things do not appear ex nihilo.

The alternative is that the thing on which our universe depends (being careful not to say 'caused' here) is beyond our ideas of cause and effect, and certainly passes human understanding.

There was the personal realization that the two factions in what was then the Perl community, would never see eye to eye on what the language called "Perl 6" was.

> Yes, if you assume that author knows the extent of OPs exposure to the fumes and what was in them.

What was in them: we know it was a burning modern electronics, plastic fumes and a battery fire.

Extent of OPs exposure: we know it was one event of fixed duration, close contact with a single burning equipment. Not a chronic exposure, not a pyre of a dozen headphones.

We of course don’t know details on the margins, like which parts did melt on the pcb or how many breaths did the author inhale of this smoke, these are small details.

Even if we assume that these unknown variables fall on the bad side of their respective spectrum, we can still bound our estimation. (Like for example assuming that nearly all the nastines from the single headphone went into the smoke and the author did sit around for an hour in the smooky room.)

This means that we know a lot about both of those questions and can estimate the unknowns with reasonable worst-case thinking. (Which is the conservative thing to do in this situation)

> That's just dismissive attitude that accomplishes nothing and adds nothing to the discussion.

You say that, but it is not true. It is an understandable reaction on OPs part, once the initial shock is over and they see that they are still alive to think about if they have suffered any unknown long term harms. While obviously this kind of exposure is not good, and the OP is unlikely to ask for a repeat it is unlikely to cause lasting harm. In fact worrying about it might actually cause more harm.

Thinking this through calmly and logically is not dismissive, and might actually help the author.

There is a serious flaw in the way schools teach people about propaganda, that leaves people believing that propaganda is synonymous with lying, and if a claim is factual then it isn't propaganda. Propaganda is any communication that is calculated to further an agenda. Propaganda uses truth, lies, everything in-between, and everything else (claims that don't lay on the truth-lie continuum at all; e.g. subjective values.)
This is probably really dumb but I'm interested to hear people's reactions to yet another amateur dark energy theory.

Could the observation that the universe is expanding actually be the result of a sort of gravitational lensing and not the result of space expanding or bodies moving through space?

My rough line of thinking is:

- We believe that gravity has a warping effect on spacetime.
- We believe that this warping can distort light.
- When we observe light from distant galaxies, it must first exit the gravity well of the source, traverse the universe and then make its way down into our gravity well.
- Therefore, the light must have been subject to some distortion. It traversed two regions of 'stretched' space time and so became 'stretched' itself.
- This 'stretching' is interpreted as redshift and is indistinguishable from if the light source had just been moving away quickly.

Naively, I would have thought this interpretation explains a couple of things quite well:

- Light would be redshifted in every direction as every bright and distant source (i.e. galaxies) resides in a large gravity well.
- It would explain a lack of redshift in nearby objects as we sit in a broadly similar part of the Milky Way's gravity well. As such the relative lensing effect would not be apparent.

Anyway, I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about and someone will have thought of this before - however I'm interested to know why the theory doesn't work.

Most likely I don't really understand gravitational lensing and it wouldn't distort the wavelength of light as I suggested. Alternatively, perhaps someone has done the maths and the impact of any such effect does not align with observations.

You could consider alternatives such as logback instead of writing your own.
Avoiding increasing operational complexity is really important, but for pub/sub we are using Redis. While this does add complexity, it is very little, because it is incredibly easy to install and maintain.
I think at "the writer has no understanding of the language, when the backend clearly does?" you circle back to the argument's main problem - is it possible for the non-human backend to "understand" the language, even though it behaves like it does.
But how much of that busier life is real and how much of it is a feeling from being online so much? I usually have a couple hours to myself at night and still wind up doing “Just one more crossword” or checking up on some sports team rather than shutting down.

The people writing these kinds of books hopefully spend a significant amount of time researching (reading), thinking and writing about the topic at hand. Reading a book about that topic once cannot by proxy give the reader an equally deep understanding of the subject matter.

The author seems to, at least to some degree, equate knowledge with memorisation. I find this to be an limited perspective, since knowledge is also about connecting and balancing diverging information on the same topic, as well as putting it in relation to other topics.
This point is actually talked about a few paragraphs earlier while discussing the hypertext format. An analog approach to this is the Zettelkasten[0] method.

It seems to me, that knowledge is the continuous engagement with a topic through reading, thought and writing. What the author is calling for as "new mediums" is nothing more than the technological encoding of certain practices of organising one's mind.
