I've done plenty of pair programming informally when one of us were stuck on some hairy bit of code and needed another pair of eyes and some extra brain power to get to a solution but I've never done it in an ongoing formal context. What I've always wondered is if you get the doubling of productivity required to justify having two resources working on the same bit of code? Certainly in blocking situations you can get a huge multiplier on productivity (I'm including quality and correctness in my definition of productivity) but lots of code is mundane stuff that just needs someone to push through and knock it out. Can a pair get the mundane stuff done in half the time of a solo developer?
I think the biggest issue I know off is their response to the OPCW leaks [1], where they argued that they agree the leaks are authentic but they suddenly have proof that no one else had access to to change the narrative.

> A draft version of a letter seen by Bellingcat and not publicly released by either ‘Alex’, Wikileaks or any of the journalists who have covered the so-called scandal, proves that a chemical attack did occur.

This seems super suspicious and is a deus ex machina that undermines all material inconvenient to the US. I don't find the "screenshot" very convincing, especially with the source being the director general of the organisation in question.

I can't remember details but I'm positive I've read about such a capability being developed in the 70s or 80s. I think it was an airborne radar system similar to AWACS except looking at the ground, combined with computer systems that would analyze the data to identify troop movements. With the military resources available today (drones, satellites, ...) and the massive increases in computing power it wouldn't surprise me if they track troop movements in near real-time.
Interesting factoids about military facial hair to go with your joke:

Moustaches were mandatory in the British army (and shaving them off a punishable offence) for about sixty years, up until the middle of the First World War, where the rule fell out of favour in no small part because too many of the new recruits were too young for anything more than peach fuzz.

The Victorian trend for really big bushy beards emerged in part out of mass public admiration for British soldiers returning from the Crimean War, who had grown long beards to help cope with the extreme cold over a very long campaign, after Queen Victoria noted them with some admiration. Though it probably did land at a time where shaving was somewhat out of fashion.

That even in case there is a cloned device, it's not an issue because you still have your password.
Although I share your sentiment in general, I would presume that @tluyben's take is fairly true to the broader philosophical view. The ritique of this view being at least as weak as the views on intelligence per se is a drop in the ocean really.

Implying, there is a wealth of thought devoted to inteligence! That fact is actually proving the conjecture in a nicely constructive way by itself, that we are thoughtful indeed, if only you believe this axiomatically like.

My default workflow is not to the pin the version. The build will only break occasionally and is often trivial to fix. In the rare case it does require significant amount of work, and management is breathing down your neck, you do temporarily pin the version to get out the release, and create a backlog ticket to resolve this as soon as possible.

This workflow ensures any work for minor version upgrade is part of the development workflow. PMs can't deprioritise this work against more exciting shiny product features. If you include this as separate development tickets, it just tends to get deprioritised until it becomes a big chunk of work.

It's not necessarily anyone forgot they need fuel. It's more likely every readiness report filed in the past several years has said "everything is awesome". The reality being that nothing is awesome and actual readiness is a small fraction of what the paperwork says.

So the general staff assume everything is awesome and they've got plenty of supplies and logistical ability. Now the disparity between the state of their forces on paper and reality become known. Even if the military planners assumed reported status was exaggerated by some amount, the reality is likely worse than that assumption.

Keep in mind the Russians have been building their forces up on Ukraine's borders for months now, in winter. Even if everything was great that's a lot of food and fuel needed just for soldiers to sit around and more to actually conduct exercises. Then after months of burning through stocks of food and fuel they go on the offensive which takes even more food and fuel.
R markdown is able to evaluate expressions inline outside of code blocks as well.
I also thought the Ukraine as a neutral independent buffer state would be best for everyone. The problem is that Russia won’t allow Ukraine to be independent. It has to be a puppet state at least. There is a deleted Russian state news article describing their ambitions. This article was meant to be published after Russian victory in two days, but things obviously didn’t go as plannend.

Russias hyper aggressive policy against Ukraine has bitten them in the ass. I believe a softer approach would have been better. Focus on strengthening economic and cultural ties. Have Ukraine to be Russia sympathetic country instead of a Russian controlled one.
Your input features are incomplete and mixed with noise.

The value of a dice is also a function over time. Can we learn this function with a neural net? No, because our features don't include the nitty gritty details of each throw so it's essentially random.
I kinda get your point but which system produced fewer wars in the last 250 years?
That idea seems to be less relevant since there are Baltic states and Norway already bordering Russia.

Edit: If Russia really needs buffer - it is big country, they can create it inside Russia`s border.
But they do not need this buffer because Russia`s army compared to NATO is nothing - buffer would not help. But Russia has more nuclear missiles then NATO. And that is more powerful then some mythical buffer zone.
> And they're sick of journalists and twitterati calling them - and everyone else, for that matter - nazis because a few lunatics showed up to the protest with nazi flags and got kicked out. It's boring that the media keep falling for this shtick. Every single time.

Sentient being is a very flimsy and arbitrary definition.

I think the most reasonable explanation is that unobserved things do not happen, at all, or only happen on some abstract statistical level.

That doesn't imply that consciousness is special. The reason why you are aware of reading this, if you are indeed aware of reading this, is that your life matters for some future event, which on the fundamental physical level has already happened, but its exact results depends on how your life unfolds in some way. If I locked you up in an impenetrable box that is to be completely obliterated at some future point in time, so that whatever you do in the box would make no observable difference, the rest of your life in the box would not happen.

So very much this. I went through 4 30 minutes meetings with a vendor for a client of mine before I had enough with them and told them either give me a price or I'm forever done with them. 4 meetings just to get a price! Then they threw a price at us and we understood why they needed so many meetings. We ended up building the software we needed in house for 25% of what it would have cost to license theirs. And that includes creating an IT department that had not existed at that company before.

Over a month wasted on pointless meetings just because they were afraid to share their price.
You can't turn off disruptive co-workers either. When I used to go in to an office of sorts one day a week, I eventually wrote that day off and just accepted that day was for socialising and design meetings. Throughput consistently tanked on those days, so better to accept it and use it for activities that didn't require the same mental focus.

direct, theory-laden, causal contact and pro-active engagement with their environments... eg., taking the stick out of the water.

"data" (even from an animal's pov) is basically, by nature, ambiguous. Measurement is an event in the world (eg., light hitting the eye) which isn't somehow unambiguously informative. To over come this problem, basically, animals move stuff.

The adaptable motor cortex of the most intelligent animals, therefore, isnt something to be tacked-on to "intelligence", it's the precondition for it.

Glibly: tools before thoughts. Reason needs content to operate on, the content of our thoughts is built via our (sensory-)motor systems.

The idea that we need ever more theoretically powerful models of reasoning here is a misdirection -- it misses that the heart of everything we know arrives via some form of repeated experiment.

Every more automated "pure reasoning" either via statistics or symbolically, is always just a means of juicing the data we provide the system. Useful as a technology, but not as a genuine learning system. It will never have the means of resolving the many ambiguities within data itself.

In the case, for example, of NLP -- the structure of 1 trillion documents will never enable a machine to answer the question "what do you like about what i'm wearing?" -- because (1) the machine isnt here with me; (2) i am asking for its personal judgement, not a summary of a trillion documents; and (3) that summary of those trillion documents has to be unique, but the question has no "right answer".

Whilst computer science has the driving seat over what "intelligence" is, we will forever be stuck with this incredibly diminished view of our own capacities and the size of the technological challenge. The goal isnt to sift through everything we have already done and "take a mean", the goal is to produce a system which could have done "everything we have done" without us.
These comments don’t help Musk at all. This just increases conviction that the Musk boosters must be ignored because they clearly have their own definitions of basic things like “stopping” and “lying.”

None of this is commentary on the underlying tech. Obviously Tesla is impressive, obviously SpaceX is impressive, obviously Musk is impressive. But none of these should absolve him/his companies/his supporters from basic obligations toward truth - especially when introducing potentially dangerous technologies to “the commons” like public roads.

It has an interesting trade-off: no internal flash. But I've found that I add a SPI-flash chip to the MCU in many designs, so it's a reasonable choice.

NXP has rt1020 (Cortex-M7, no flash), or rt1024, which is same but 4 MB flash in the package- it's connected to the SPI-flash controller of the rt1020 core, so I think it's a multi-die package.

The radio stations I listen to where I live are definitely HD as in "high def" compared to their analog signal. I can hear the high frequencies when HD comes in. Problem is I'm on the edge of HD reception for both stations I like.

Do you remember what model your friend's camera was? I have a DMC-ZX60 which I would rate as OK-but-not-great. It seems to me that it should be possible to pack a truly awesome camera into that form factor, considering that smart phone cameras are literally orders of magnitude smaller.
This is all "operationally correct".

If you are intrigued as to what it means for the wave function to collapse, and related questions such as at which speed does it collapse, etc, you must consider what it means to measure something.

If you want to know the property of some particle you need to interact with it ... at least with another particle. The system of those two particles is described by a wave function. This wave function evolves according to the Schrödinger equation and it will tell you that after the interaction you have a superposition of two states: one where the particle you're measuring is inside the box and the measurement probe particle is carrying that information, and the other state that tells you that the particle is outside the box *and* the measurement probe tells is carrying that information.

The wave function of the system hasn't really collapsed to a single state.

Now, let's say that your measurement apparatus records the information of this test particle by e.g. printing it out to a piece of paper or whatever (bits in hard disk)

The wave function of the whole system now captures the superposition where the measured particle was in one state and the paper contains black ink in some places and not in other places, superimposed with the other state where the measured particle was in the other state and the paper carries ink in other locations.

Nothing has collapsed yet; you just have a very complicated wave function. By processing the measurement you effectively introduced a "causality amplification" process, but one that operates on the whole of the wave function.

But, you may protest: "I see only one outcome of the measurement!"

The wave function of the universe is in a superposition of your body (and thus brain) being in a state where you have observed ( and recorded such observation) one measurement outcome and another state where you have observed the other outcome.

Both states are equally real and present in the wave function of the universe. But each of the brain states in the superposition doesn't interact with the other states do each future though you have in one of the superimposed states are effectively independent from the others, giving the impression that the wave function has "collapsed".

Some people like to say that the "universe has split" into independent world lines or something like that. Some people find this terminology helpful, some find it confusing. But the thing is, this just follows from applying the Schrödinger equation without making arbitrary exceptions when humans get involved.
