A more nuanced description: the men who directly instigated the US atomic bomb effort were refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe with knowledge of the discovery of the fission and potential chain reaction of uranium in Germany in 1939, which meant that an atomic bomb was quite likely to be possible.

Once Germany had been defeated and the largely-ruined Japan plainly had no realistic pathway to developing such a weapon mmany of these same men argued for the bomb not to be used [1] but as the British found with their strategic bombing of Germany, a weapon propounded as a saviour and developed at staggering expense is difficult to lay aside, even if both its utility and morality are questioned.

Take a look at this paper:

Deep Symbolic Regression for Recurrent Sequences https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.04600

If you look at embedding visualization it is very clear that the model learns order of numbers.

(Interactive demo: http://recur-env.eba-rm3fchmn.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com... )

There is also:

Grokking: Generalization Beyond Overfitting on Small Algorithmic Datasets https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.02177

Again, looking at visualizations the model very clearly grasps the structure of the function it models.

Being able to extrapolate to numbers that were not in the training set, perhaps? At least that'd be a basic part of the requirement.
IANAL but please you should find one asap. Collect every evidence you have, print it on paper and sue your employer.

I don't know about Australian law but in jurisdictions I'm familiar with what you are describing is definitely illegal.
I think you'd find that most people doing large number math in their head is also off by a few percent like this model.

Sure, with pen and paper we can follow specific algorithms manually to very slowly get a precise result. If we wanted a computer to merely follow instructions, then I suspect that there are better ways...
No. Hell no. Talk to a lawyer, NOW!
It's a real-life dark pattern. The benefits of showing the price with taxes for consumers vastly outweigh the minor problems for stores, other than makes them look cheaper.
I was never bullied growing up because I always rolled with a crew who wouldn't hesitate to circle a threat. That's unions, they make you less likely to be an "isolated case".
In Germany, they absolutely do. One of the core benefits of unions here is that they provide legal assistance to members in employment-related cases.
> “Once an MDR request has been submitted to an agency for the review of a particular document, the agency must respond either with an approval, a denial, or the inability to confirm or deny the existence or nonexistence of the requested document.”

So you not only need to know the existence of some secret document you are interested in (how could you?), they basically have the option to simply deny it’s existence?

Is it really how it supposed to work?
An adversarial measure like locking accounts is unlikely to be the result of a bureaucratic issue like the one you describe.

Much more likely, the boss got wind of some "mental instability" and now doesn't trust the worker; or was already looking for excuses to fire him and thinks he's now found it.
Plainly wrong. One of the thing to do here when you have a personal issue with your company is telling your union that will pressure the company to comply.
But somewhere in that massive corpus of text will be a description just like you've just given...
Uuhm yeah, they do. I can call my union representative right now to get help.

Quite impressive how fast the US-politics can burn billions in $, endanger the technological lead and build a massive opportunity for Europe!

This! This is exactly why I built makers.so.

Framer is an amazing tool. But if you are in the Figma ecosystem, it's boring to duplicate your work on a different tool. Same for Webflow. I'm trying to make life easier for Figma users.

Happy to help you get started with makers. Anything you need, just let me know :)
I'll preface this by saying that I am 100% in the camp that thinks these language models are neither intelligent nor a promising avenue towards understanding intelligence.

But your conclusion here is entirely wrong: the model clearly is learning something. From eyeballing this, the model is right about 10% of the time. If it were spitting out random digits the accuracy would effectively be zero. So exactly what is it learning? Is it memorising exactly equations that it saw in training? Is it learning ngram patterns that occur frequently in arithmetic equations?

I'm not an expert on these things and I'd love to hear from someone who is.

Yes, this would involve getting your doctor (general practitioner or specialist) to write and sign a one-sentence letter confirming you suffer the condition -- with your approval of course. It would not involve exposing every medical detail.
I love this. I don't know much about plaids but I really really really enjoy hearing stories of people replacing DIY, hacky, inefficient or simply long and painful pipelines and workflows with custom well designed software.

It's always nice to hear how much it helped people and removed the problems the previous version had - bonus points if it's for a small business or a single person rather than some giant enterprise org. I hope one day to actually be able to produce software that can benefit people that way. All I seem to do recently is write software that gets killed off because politics all while dealing with poor quality code from other teams and it's really demoralising.

I would love to know if anyone has a site or something where these stories are documented!

American labor laws are inhuman.
As others have said - it's invasive, and probably illegal.

BUT - I feel like we're missing some context here. Is your reason for refusal based solely on privacy concerns, or that you don't want them to know you see a psychiatrist? Have you been underperforming and used your ADHD as justification/excuse as to why and they want some proof of that?

You're mentioning the ADHD, so it must be relevant in some way, otherwise the post would simply be "My company wants my medical records, should I allow it?"
My pet hypothesis: people who are into one of the many athletic pastimes, particularly those with a competitive component, will all do exactly one thing when faced with an appointment that comes with an attached "take a rest from exercising afterwards": they will schedule a particularly intensive workout the day before so that those rest days "don't go to waste". (source: I'm one of those and very few in my social circle don't match that pattern)

But the risk association might very well be not so much the exercise happening while under immune stress but the processes that happen during recovery doing their thing while under immune stress. Usually immune stress means infection and we don't get to schedule our infections, so this distinction (exercise time vs recovery time) will be very much unexplored.

Young males tend to be more into performance-oriented training (competitive, or focused on metrics, or both) than other population groups, and with an actual infection it might even be that the relevant immune stress does not really start before more direct symptoms suggest taking a break. Could be as simple as shifting the "no sports" instruction that comes with the jab a few days backwards.
This feels like a watershed moment. We can finally really get rid of a lot of that toolchain madness that we really did not want in most smaller projects. Good riddance webpack.
If only we could somehow harness hatred as an energy source, it would be the ultimate renewable.

Would you care to elaborate on what seems a fairly implausible statement?
I got screwed over by their car rental division. Basically any mistake on your part voids any refund. I complanied to the European Consumer Centers network to see if I can recover at last part of my funds, but it gets more complicated as their transport division is registered in Manchester, UK which is no longer part of the EU. Needless to say, I am never going to rent any car through an agency again.
In the case of vaccine only / no infection, is vaccine-mediated inflammation long lasting and damaging? These effects in the paper (platelet aggregation, thrombosis) seem to be capable of causing permanent harm. Platelet aggregation seems like it would cause small amounts of systemic endothelial damage, atherosclerosis, thombrosis, ...

The level of inflammation no doubt varies on a case by case / individual basis, but is it possible that nobody gets out of the pandemic without some level of stress on their pulmonary and circulatory systems?

To state this succinctly, did Covid (whether infected or vaccinated) shave a few days off of all of our lives?

I did consider this and protected myself by letting the judges know in a side letter about some background.

Obviously would not have pursued this matter if I wasn't a fairly well-connected person and Covid-19 restrictions made available the time to do so.

The veracity of the case can be trivially verified as I filed nearly everything electronically thus have receipts with digital signatures. A singular court decision was also served digitally because an enraged judge wanted it served instantly right after an ex-parte phone call didn't go the way he had thought.
Dungeon Siege[0] shipped in 2002. Unity began their ECS journey by sniping talent from Insomniac. ECS is not an unproven concept in someone's head.

That Unity and Unreal are lacking (even after Unity's public efforts in the area) is because they are licensed en masse and retrofitting each with an ECS would be no small feat. And is that refactor worth losing revenue from obsoleted marketplace content? Or does the ECS need to interoperate perfectly with existing code from endless numbers of existing projects while still providing the benefits of a dedicated solution?

Unity and Unreal are not the only engines. In house engines are shaped by the needs of the immediate users, and not the sales pitch for hobbyists or third party studios.

I am scratching my own itch and learning Clojure on the way with building a FLOSS alternative to a very famous project management tool.

I found that this tool is quite a sweet spot for bringing small teams of technical and non-technical people together and get stuff done, but I yearned for an open-source version of it to hack around.

It is all still in a very early prototyping stage, but I plan to release an alpha until summer.
Are you sure employers in US are forbidden from asking medical records?

Wikipedia says about discrimination, not about medical records.

Also, it is legal to fire people based on their vaccination status which is obviously a medical record.
Agree that what he's describing is not legal in France. His account of being transferred to another employer is probably inaccurate or incomplete.
Because then it becomes useless for it's intended use.

Say someone put a tag inside their backpack, their backpack gets stolen. The person stealing it can then just open their App, see there's an airtag in the bag, report it and kill its signal.
Really? In the UK they provide free legal advice and accompany you to every meeting with your employer in any kind of HR dispute. Not sure about every union but definitely transport, teachers and actors.

I think I mentioned this before but I had the strangest Covid experience - for years I've struggled with Opiates/Cocaine & to a lesser degree Alcohol. I got Covid early on & since recovering have little to no desire for that stuff - so I've stopped drinking, dont use anymore & am (slowly) coming off my maintanence medication. I'm only one person of course but I find it the strangest thing..
My biggest concern is the studies that have been comparing myocarditis induced by the vaccine vs. those with MIS-C from COVID-19 that show that they're not necessarily directly comparable - the vaccine-induced version is also milder.

It is elevated, but the implications of that depend wildly on things like case rates, as events/vaccine doses is static, and events/cases is dynamic. A conclusion reached in Sept., 2021 misses a huge upswing in cases in young men from Omicron, which while milder on a per-case bases has also caused a lot more cases (to use a gaming analogy, making better saving throws, but making a lot of them).
Seconding that as someone who was both employed and self-employed in France. Companies cannot do such frivolous stuff with their employees here.
That's assuming policies are made for the good of society, and not the good of the policy makers.
50% and lower rate (the hk children myocarditis study) isn't a "much lower rate". Factor in omnicron and the clear difference between vaccinating everyone and 10% of society getting the virus and unsolvable questions should begin to arise.
Norovirus is just bonkers.
Too late for that. Look at how many people around you are using iPhones. They're all taking part in the FindMy network.
I don't think many of the scientists would have agreed to surprise attack Japan on population centres. It was a decision taken by the senior military, and came as a shock to most.

Two possibilities, it is a lab leak or it is not. If it is a lab leak, there will be terrible consequences for the people involved, the lab, and China in general. If it is not a lab leak, then the current status-quo is maintained.

Potentially a lot to lose and not much to win by releasing the data. Ideally, we should make it so that there is no negative consequence if we finally discover that it is a lab leak, but because politics, it is impossible. It is like the common advise of never talking to the cops. Ideally, if you are innocent, you should say everything, but the police is not interesting in proving your innocence and very interested in proving your culpability, so the usual advise is to not say anything because it will be used against you.

Edit: In fact, again because of politics, if it really is a lab leak, I think that proving it will make the entire world a worse place, we are better off not knowing. Not now, at least. For science, it would be good to know, but considering the situation, I bet the data will not just be used to better study viruses and improve lab safety.
Epidemiologically, endemic is that the rates of disease are within expectation - for example, there's a statistical threshold for flu every year. There can still be swings - seasonal diseases for example.

There is no sane universe where COVID-19 is endemic from an epidemiological standpoint.

It also doesn't imply that we should stop doing things.

Only way to improve the situation is to have large impact/visibility.
When teaching Go, a popular mini-game is capture-Go, with the winner being the first to capture an opponent's stone. But these Chess mini-games gave me an idea for an even simpler one.

Starting from an empty board, place your stone so that it's not adjacent to any opponent stone. The first player unable to do so loses. I guess it could be called Avoid Contact.

This is first of all a good way to learn the distinction between 4-connectedness and 8-connectedness., while avoiding the intricacies of captures. But it can also teach players a bit about forming territory, since building a chain 2 steps from the edge creates a safe space for your own stones.

Now that I think about it, this is so obvious that it should already be known. If so, does anyone have a reference for it?
I don't understand this no it doesn't, the logic I outlined can be boiled down to

And X cannot do Y

Then I need to do something other than X

For the first 6 months, the legal assumption is that any defect was present at purchase which means - in practice - you can return pretty much any defective item no questions asked.

It is legal and normal(ish) in Austaralia [0] - talk to your doctors (immediately) they will have seen it before, lawyers will likely tell you to sign (I personally find emplyment lawyers the worst - my bias).

[0] https://www.racgp.org.au/afp/2017/august/employment-law-a-gu... (not the best source but probably a more useful one than the actual legislation)

My personal assumptions - It sounds like you have some or all of the following happening; a) a poor relationship with your boss, b) you have been back and forth refusing to sign this, c) had a bunch of time off sick, d) are on the path to being dismissed and they are lining up their various options, e) company has a covid vaccine idea to have everyone sign this and it has nothing to do with your mental health.

Some combination of the above suggest you are on your way out of the organisation - brush up the cv, cleanup your work and get an employment lawyer for the pending dismisal. You have been there 10 years, its amazing how personal and owrk merges over time. I didnt even have a copy of my employment contract when they shut the workplace email, phone, etc off. Let alone internal information that will be relevant to your dismisal. Disclaimer: dont steal stuff or IP etc.

If they are locking the doors, you may have missed the bus to negotiate a reasonable settlement whereby your practicioner(s) can certify you have no medical issues that would affect your role without the full release of medical records. If my assumptions are all wrong then that would be the most reasonable course of action.
Risk decreases over time, but the distribution of time-until-recovery is longer than one might hope.

Hotel websites aren't typically that great for good prices, nor for the ease of use. But talking to someone on the phone and quoting the booking.com (esp. genius) price can give you a good anchor, and many hotels will at least match it.
Same for me. The website has some dark patterns that really do suck, but their prices often beats the hotel directly and many hotels even refer you to booking.com

One can not overstate how important it also is, that the public is suspended for this type of meetings.

No PR-stunts and no humiliation for gaps in knowledge. The person and ego has to be suspended for a moment and the "competition" of man go take a hike, replaced by a competition of ideas.

Fairness has to be upheld, as in everyone in the round has to be a good sport and accept his/her idea to be less likely.
Todays self-obsessed culture makes such a round nearly impossible, except - ironically for near anonymous internet forums.
