That's oversimplifying it. It's not that decisions are "unscientific" because the science isn't rock solid. Politicians and authorities have the unenviable job of having to make decisions that some times have to precede science. Acting out of caution is a thing.

Besides, it's not as if you ask scientists their response would always be "well our science won't say very much until a year from now, so of course we recommend the status quo until we know more!"

Scientific consensus and consensus among scientists can be two different things (i.e., scientists may well agree or even recommend politicians and authorities to do X, well in advance of science being clear).

There are safety-related limits to this flexibility: one cannot at will reduce/augment the "power" (thermal) delivered by a reactor. After each small set of tweaks a somewhat durable stable state (or a complete shutdown) must be respected. In the proposed SFEN document it corresponds to the mentions "palier d’au moins deux heures" (at least 2 hours between tweaks) and "deux fois par jour" (max two tweaking sequences per day).

The real (observed and useful) ability to follow load at a useful extent is offered by the float (tens of reactors simultaneously active => more flexibility towards tweaking limitations).

At this game nothing beats a gas turbine (hydraulic dams are serious contenders).
Maybe you mixed up Inertia.js [0] with Livewire [1]?

I've worked with Livewire quite a bit and think it's a brilliant concept. It's very easy to get started and you get great results without much training.

However, as soon as you encounter problems or want to implement things that deviate from the standard case, you quickly realize that this is a new technology. There isn't a solution for every problem on Stackoverflow and apart from the official documentation there is very little good information.

So for complex apps, it's often better to go with VueJS which has a better and more comprehensive ecosystem. The great thing is that Inertia.js exists as a link to Laravel, so you don't have to build an API and you don't have to worry about things like routing or authentication.

A bazillion parameters in gpt3, but what does the training process amount to? Filling in missing characters or words in sentences taken from a huge dump of literature, news articles, reddit comments...

No wonder these things are so dumb still. The training process and the loss function used probably does not penalize poor long-range coherence between paragraphs. Also, if I'm not mistaken, these things have absolutely no internal state besides the characters you steam into them as conversion prompts.

If these things were trained more like agents having to operate in eg. Socratic dialogues maybe we'd be getting somewhere

My son (a curious juvenile) found his own YouTube account banned in a similar manner for disclosing a security issue in Google wifi products. There was no first or second warning (despite what the Terms of Service say). Google would not give him a justification for the banning other than "terms of service violation". The appeals fell on deaf ears. Now their automated system keeps banning every YouTube account he creates within days of creation.

I worry that he'll never be able to appeal and a stupid 'mistaken reading of the ToS' on his part as a minor will affect his ability to ever host a YouTube channel or have a premium account subscription.

Good luck getting a real human in Google to sympathize with your plight and restore your account. They see disclosure of security issues related to their products or their customers' products as ToS violations and appear to be unyielding and swift in silencing such content permanently.
No, the paper analyses the count/frequency of profession-related surnames in a database, so it's not really dealing with that.

But in day-to-day I'm sure that's true; and why so many people who could not tell the name of their currentdentist, accountant, etc., still know the name of their doctor Dr. Medicine 10 years later. It just sticks as an anecdote.

>You're comparing having buildings in your town blown up.... to be told to social distance

I very specifically didn't. I compared the overall societal outcome, to those other singular events.

>Your comment reeks of entitlement and privilege.

Yours reeks of poor reading comprehension and sweeping assumptions, as well as an inability to comprehend the scale of the different experiences different people have had under Covid restrictions. In my previous comment, you'll note that most of my concerns are for others, and for the society I live in as a whole. I don't know why I bother, as once again I am branded "selfish", "entitled", etc etc. In fact, due in part to the choices I and my close family have made over the past two years, it looks like we are going to do just fine. I absolutely cannot say the same for some of those I know. A close friend who recently had their first child has essentially had a mental health breakdown (I suspect, due to a mix of pre-existing inclinations, and the stress of being a first time parent under Covid restrictions), and due to the state they are now in, are refusing any external help at all.

The sheer number of stories like this will become more widely known in due course, and defending lockdown-style policies will become less and less palatable.

> I mean incompetent people also feel like imposters.

Well, not all. Does the share of people that feel like imposters increase or decrease with expertise? I have anecdotal evidence pointing both ways, and no good real study to get data from.

Anyway, imposter syndrome hurting competent people is way too common to ignore. You are just combating the reciprocate hypothesis, what is ok as long as it doesn't also harm the original one.

Solids are not ideal for space exploration as they are difficult to control and reusing them is expensive (& thus usually isn’t worth it). I am fully on board to reusable liquid rockets, which can use extremely cheap propellants liquid liquid methane or liquid hydrogen fuel and (70-90% of the mass of propellant) liquid oxygen. These propellants are extremely cheap, about 25¢/kg of propellant on average, enabling very cheap launch costs, compared to around $5/kg in solid rocket motor propellant costs (and greater difficulty in reusing them and much higher dry mass and lower Isp). And the exhaust is really bad for the environment. The high acceleration and sometimes high vibration and inability to turn off in an emergency make them non-ideal for human spaceflight. And they’re basically use-once (with possibly of remanufacture) so you can’t acceptance-test the same motor like you can for liquids, and refueling them is a complicated process that can’t easily be done off-planet (unlike liquid rockets which can be and are refueled such as the ISS’s propulsion systems). So while there are some niche uses of them for space exploration (interplanetary kick stages for probes), from an energy, performance, safety, reusable cost, and ride comfort standpoint, I’m rooting for liquids.
You’re buying into the propaganda:

1. Can’t predict the future.

2. How does the finer division by non college jobs look like? Electrician is one of the top- how does it compare to a doctor accounting the medical debt?

3. Average college debt is 30k. Hardly crippling.
Publish the code.

I think part of the equation is whether you are earning and spending money designed to eventually make money (supposedly), or whether you have a consulting business with nearly zero revenue and (say) $5000/year in expenses, ie, you have a fake consulting company with one employee, yourself, so you can deduct your hobby expenses.

If you have 10 people working for you, customers paying you every month, a loan for a building or equipment, etc., my guess is that the IRS will let your business run at a loss much longer.
There is a legitimate point that some programmers might misuse format strings and that by using named capturing in the format string, this misuse would be slightly more ergonomic. Nevertheless, legitimate uses of format strings also become more ergonomic, and legitimate uses would seem to far out-strip illegitimate uses.

Furthermore, within the Rust ecosystem, the tools to build SQL queries, or serialize/deserialize JSON generally provide interfaces that are more ergonomic than manually using format strings, so a programmer has little incentive to do so as it would constitute more work on their part.
While I agree with you in principle, at some point, you're going to run out of places to work at.

Where do you believe the food, clothing, housing, and medical care/technology is coming from in the current world?

Same people, except in my hypothetical the workforce would be a tad bigger: Bezos, Musk and Gates, like the Kennedies, Rothschilds and Murdochs would (like everyone else on the planet) put in their own ~4 hours of daily work (4 out of 7 days should be plenty) towards feeding/clothing/housing/caring-for the People.

Who needs military if the whole world was one? All those poor souls "defending" your freedom? Would work the fields or whatever.
Who needs newspapers that only print what their owner wants to be printed?
Who needs X privately owned space programs if the whole world would profit the most from a single public one?

Yes, competition can drive innovation but we have arrived at a time where we innovate solely to: - dazzle others we call users into spending more of their precious time and money on our shit-websites... - improve surveilance tech - improve weaponry - improve schemes to extract value from our workforce

And competition by cooperation is by far better anyways than competition led by self-interest:
If your idea is better than whatever is being already produced, since everyone is a worker and cooperating, there would be little to no friction to improve stuff. Actually, improvements would be shared freely rather than kept as a secret.

Money and Power are keeping us so busy we barely look up to see if what we are doing is hurting the planet... and thus have to go.
And designs/blueprints/recipees and other similar (not art) intelectual property should be in some sort of commons.

I dont know about art, it's important, but how to reimburse for it? idk. but you cant ask for money in return, since it was already deprecated... so i guess it also goes into the commons, and rightfully so: we produce for everyone to enjoy.
One argument against publishing code is that maybe there's an error (or more) in your code, which validates your possibly mistaken theory, and forcing an independent reimplementation by others would uncover this problem.

It's not very natural in langages with strict evaluation. Haskell is a good fit because, with lazyness, the order matters less. Same thing goes with purity : what if some side effects hide in "where"?
Having a polished public implementation can lead to a massive increase in the number of citations a paper recieves, if it is really a useful system. Some of my papers I think would have received far fewer citations if I had not released the code. Of course, if it is a really niche area with only a handful of researchers, this may not be true.
Removing Linux and Mac because "minuscule" is such a classic MBA-driven move. Linux and Mac is where you get the power users who sell you, by word of mouth, to their circle of friends and family on PC. You don't just lose goodwill, you lose sales even in your target market. But you can't see that on a spreadsheet, so...

This sort of thing smells of vicious downward spiral.

The lisps all have more lightweight syntax than F#. F# is just OCaml for .NET, it is not inherently more lightweight than any other ML.
But this feature need not necessarily be in std::fmt. It could be a more general language feature, with a pluggable formatting policy, which would then help improve the security of more specific libraries. That you shouldn't use unsafe string manipulation to do sensitive operations is obvious; the problem is that people do it anyway, which is why it is one of the most dangerous and common vulnerabilities.

Incessant bike shedding about every project concern or business case. All with a tinge of negativity and scepticism leading into rather unimportant arguments because... "last time we tried this." They are often 100% correct but nobody wants to hear yhier shit because the team has marching orders, funding, and they want to complete the project without a bunch of stress and drama.

They have been at the company too long and aren't really happy about it. They don't get a new job because it's viewed as far too distruptive to their life. Again, they are probably 100% correct.
Some websites even make audio streams available separately. You can learn about those with the -F flag, and then select an audio stream with the -f flag. E.g. on youtube, you can use

Wow ... I want to pull my eyes out now. Is this really some uber critical path in the code or did the author(s) have too much time on their hands/optimizing some other metric (e.g. promotion, proving how smart they are, attempting to get job security). I am also astounded by two things related to documentation .. it is nearly non-existent, and where it exists, seems to provide almost no context to someone other than the original authors.

You posted this for a reason .. would be good to get your thoughts.

edit: adding one more point. I went to a fairly high-ranked university(top-20). We would get graded based on how clear our code was, comments (both for functions and inline comments). This code would get a zero on those metrics.
Yeah I could definitely do a better job with my labels.

I usually add a "research" label and use it for issues where I'm researching if an idea is good or not, and I try to apply "bug" or "enhancement" to everything, but I'm not very structured about it. And I use random colors because I'm too lazy to standardize those across repos!
Ignorance is bliss, and I prefer bliss ;)

This is how I follow the news in general:

I check various news agencies (because they are the main source of information for all other newspapers, websites, and broadcasters) and compare their viewpoints on any topic that interests me, because I assume that the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle of the competing viewpoints.
If you are really really interested in a topic, you could even go further and read the press releases of all actors involved in an issue.
Remember, all actors (including news agencies) are acting in their respective interests (which, in the case of news agencies, is usually the interest of the country in which they are based).

For a while I was frustrated at how slow people have been to realize that GPT-3 sucks but lately I am more amused.

There a few reasons structurally why it can't do what people want it to do, two of them are: (i) it can't detect that it did the wrong thing at one level when interpreting it at a higher level, (ii) most creative tasks have an element of constraint satisfaction.

The 1st one interests me because I was struggling with the need for text analysis systems to do that circa 2005 and looking at the old blackboard systems. I went to a talk by Geoff Hinton just before he became a superstar where he said instead of having a system with up-and-down data flow during inference, build a system with 1 way data flow and train all the layers at once. As we know that strategy has been enormously effective, but text analysis is where it goes to die just as symbolic AI failed completely at visual recognition.

Like the old Eliza program, GPT-3 exploits human psychology. We are always looking to see ourselves mirrored

https://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/image_feature_6...

Awkward people are always worried that we are going to get it 90% right but get shunned for getting the last 10% wrong. GPT-3 exploits "neurotypical privilege" in which it gets it partially correct but people give it credit for the whole. People think it will get to 100% if you just add more connections and training time but because GPT-3 is structurally incorrect adding resources means you converge on an asymptote, say 92% right. It's one of the worst rabbit holes in technology development and one of the hardest ones to get people to look clearly at. (They always think stronger, faster, harder is going to get there...)

It seems to me an effective chatbot will be based around structured interactions, starting out like an interactive voice response system and maybe growing in the direction of

Based on the original news coverage I though this mob was just a few clown youtube activists leading a bunch of angry protesters. Someone here on HN corrected me and digging a bit deeper it appears that the corporate news missed a lot of details.

It turns out that everyone knew who would be there, what weapons they would have and their intentions. The only thing they got wrong AFAIK was the clothing. The militia that usually wear Hawaiian shirts were in plain clothes but they were still spotted instantly. Here is a documentary that covers this fairly well and everything leading up to it. [1] No covert communications. The militias were using public podcasts and social media sites to communicate and coordinate with one another and people were using machine learning to predict their actions quite accurately.

The bit I don't quite understand is why the Whitehouse had only a normal contingent of police in standard gear. These police were barely equipped to deal with a black Friday sale at Walmart much less a massive mob with some militia stirring them up.

The problem is that usually anti-money laundering laws give the operator and the compliance officer an infinite protection even on a suspected money laundering. As long as the compliance process is followed, no matter how stupid the process is, there is no legal basis to go after account freezer and the company is protected. Thus, the company has no incentive to be reasonable with account freezes.
Well if that's in their T's and C's that's fine, to a point, but they can't just silently close an account and take money from people. They need to return the money - it's not their job to play police and judge and seize illicit gains, a court has to decide whether it IS illicit and what happens to it first - and to give an explanation as to why they no longer want to do business with them.

I mean not wanting to do business is every business and person's right. But taking someone else's money without a court order or mandate is theft.
Can you clarify, please? I am legitimately interested.

What stops a big company to have a normal business account?
