No kidding. I think having people read through a few select articles of his newsletter would make most insider trading go away - most people would not do insider trading and a select few will study what gets caught and figure out a way to avoid it :)

I consider his newsletter as the equivalent of the encyclopedia of ethical failure by DoD for the financial industry.
i mean... integrals are weird. there's a whole slew of ways of doing them and usually there's a handful of techniques that are taught for a handful of integrals of specific forms and then those show up on tests with the forms sometimes slightly hidden.

how do you know it wasn't just forms and techniques you were unfamiliar with? any math you're unfamiliar with can appear as complexity for the sake of complexity.
I don't think that's the natural interpretation of that sentence. I guess it just goes to show how subjective the natural interpretation of a sentence can be.

Semantics aside, the substance seems to be that, if you publish GPT-3 failures, and the right person sees your publications, that person will (possibly via a team of mechanical turks) submit some narrowly fit changes to the GPT-3 responses which will make subsequent asks of the _exact_same_question_ not return such stupid answers (the same question asked a different way, still will), without solving the underlying issue of the model not actually understanding the question, and thus not actually being as generalizably smart as it is presented to be
No exposure to other areas of interest, like art and music, indicates ability to work towards one goal for many years. This kind of persistence is a key to success in every discipline.

I'm trying to say that we all here are skillful in hollow rhetorics.
The sort of battery you describe is utterly non-viable. The amount of energy you can store with solid blocks is extremely small relative to the cost of the structure. Do the math. With 100 tons weight and 100 meters lift (an enormous structure) you get something like 1 (one) dollar worth of electricity, which is bupkis.

Pumped storage works, because it pumps absolutely enormous amounts of water. You can't handle comparable amounts of solid blocks similarly easily.
Have you thought about MN State Mankato? They have a good math department and he can transfer elsewhere with good rec letters from there if he doesn't like it.
Incremental search was a great idea, but it's like Jef bet the farm on that one idea. I find it incredible that it used to take getting a machine manufactured en masse to push out a UI idea like this.

Now we can emulate any idea you want to try in a web browser, emulator, etc. It's surprising we don't have a flood of new OS ideas, but at least now we can run things like this in emulation.
Using IQ as the sole metric for intelligence is bogus though, in my opinion. Hard working "low IQ" slow learners beat mentally fragile or lazy "high IQ" quick learners 9 times out of 10 in my book. Low(er) IQ people can still master advanced sciences, it just takes them longer to do so. Standardized tests filter for the quickest learners who can think the fastest but they don't do as well filtering for mental fortitude or work ethic. Completely anecdotal, but it seems like a lot of the smartest people I've ever known ("high IQ") turned out to be mentally fragile (paralyzed with nihilism, depression, purposelessness). But most of the hardest workers I know who required a few extra years of work to master their fields ("low IQ") are extremely dependable and have high mental resilience by contrast. Of course, you can't beat hard working, high IQ people, but they are very rare in my experience, at least in the fields I've worked in.
The likelihood of this passing is low (to me), but I'm curious of Hacker New's input on how (or if) the US would ever get to a digital currency to replace the dollar.

There is. I'm trying to hire more of it as we speak.
I found that playing multiplayer made that experience much better.

The smaller sidetracks are more satisfying knowing others won't have to deal with them, and if others are doing the same thing they're less frequent allowing you to tackle the larger goals more often.
I am fairly sure that pretending to have a mental illness is a sign of having a mental illness.

The thing that I dislike the most on twitter are the posts where so many people liked it twitter decides to show it to me even though I am not following the person who wrote it.

I understand why they are doing this, but most of it is noise. I feel like if I had a way to browse twitter without any posts with more than 1,000 likes, it would be a much better experience.

I remember reading this story at the time (2020) and wondering if the project was released on Github in the public sphere at least as some positive net benefit of all the work that was invested. To me going into a risk environment like this you have to think, well at least if it all goes wrong then there will be this new body of knowledge available that wasn't there before so all your hard earned blood sweat tears and treasure won't just evaporate in to thin air. Not sure what this guy did but I hope e was something!
I enjoyed reading his self-deprecating enthusiasm as he flipped from one disappointment to another before he could fall off the tip of his Dunning-Kruger joyride. At least, I hope it was self-deprecating.

Right? I always hear this type of whining but every time I use Twitter I find cool projects and interesting discussion. The more mainstream threads are mostly noise and I don't pay a lot of mind to them. Many of the political shitposts are funny even if I disagree.
You've hit on what I danced around, and have exposed why I am now so against this kind of thing:

It's unwillful dis-communication. It is wretched and hateful.

One can spout forth unstructured writing that is abstract, confusing, but also beautiful, uplifting: something that draws you in and smothers you with warmth and living heat.

Alternately, there is dis-communication which proactively deconstructs, intelligently dissolving the stuff of thought into a primordial goo from which new life can spring.

This type of thing is none of that. It is a moaning for death.

And I'll have none of it.
Use Tweetdeck. Using Twitter's homepage or mobile app is just a complete shitshow.
How deep do you want to go? There's hobbyist books like Forrest Mims's classic "Getting Started in Electronics" or the more recent "Practical Electronics For Inventors". For a more in-depth treatment, you might take a look at Horowitz and Hill's "Art of Electronics".
The ML community has been so focused on recommender systems, maybe what we need is un-recommender systems.

(I'm joking, it obviously has very similar perverse results)

> Best buddy is accepted at Ivy school (but probably will not go due to cost from what he said).

All Ivy League schools are need blind; Most are free for those with family incomes <$100k. And my experience is that it really does open a lot of doors and make your life a little easier. I'm not saying you can't get a great education somewhere else; I'm saying money shouldn't be the main reason to not go for most people. The best buddy should at least ask for more aid due to need if they haven't already.
I have similar thoughts...

Not long after twitter started showing me algorithmic recommendations, it decided to show me some comments that were so vile I couldn't help but call them out. The person responded by asking "Who are you and what are you doing in my replies?". Which was a valid question. Why was I there? I didn't want to be talking to that person. Why did I even see that content? Was I rewarding the algorithm's choice by responding? Gross.

Is that the new normal for twitter? Do I have to wade through enraging AI content as payment for following the creators I love?

No. If thats the trade, its a bad trade to make. I deleted twitter and I haven't looked back. There's some fantastic creators on twitter doing cool things. But there's too many interesting ways I could be spending my time to waste time dealing with that.
I've always liked projects like this but for me personally this one takes the crown just for sheer responsiveness - I expect to see a few "Working on it" because it's a browser but you've built a really solid foundation here, great stuff mate.
Absolutely. I have no ambitions though, and don't desire anything special out of life. I doubt many feel the same.
Sure that sounds logical, but I doubt that German anti-semitism died with Hitler in the 1940s.

Like I said, established world governance chose a specific direction in 1948, in part because there was established historical roots of the Jewish people in the region. As you said, that decision created anti-Semitic attitudes among the neighboring nations in the region. Those anti-Semitic attitudes in some part fuels Israel’s actions today, which fuels more anti-Semitism, and so on, and so on…

Vicious circle and likely never to be solved in our lifetime. It can’t, especially when one side demands genocide and annihilation of the stronger side as the only acceptable solution.
One thing I find weird is that what seem to be prevailing ideas on Twitter are nonexistent in the real world. Did sane people just give up on the site? Or does Twitter just promote the crazies?
ok, but... would a meta meta-analysis analysis show that on average, meta analyses do find positive benefits? get back to me.
Thank you! It is so different it takes a while sometimes for people to grok it. But I'm 100% with you on that. A community member on Discord told us about how the conversation session with quick nav between searches along with reader-mode helps them stay in a flow-state will programming, and that was really exciting because it was the original idea behind it. Changing web browser pages changes context, whereas a chat history is this natural thing that we're all used to. That was our thinking anyway.

Also, the privacy thing with browser history is significant. Browsers leak history pretty badly.

Thank you sincerely for trying out Andi, and please let us know if we can help with anything at all with it. It's early days but it means the world to have the encouragement here!
Depends a lot on the context. Is an actor who plays a mentally ill person therefore mentally ill?

Also, there are many kinds of mental illness. Perhaps a person who is depressed and anxious pretends to be a person who cannot think coherently.
> won't also be generous with patent to make ROI work for other 3rd parties to make big investments.

Which patent? Please help me understand by being specific. Which patent needs to expire or get canceled to enable something (which I also don't understand what that thing would be). See my past comments about the physics of electrophoretics being the limitation. I work in the display industry and to be blunt, I don't really have any idea what your comment means.
Endorsement/support/agreement. When applied on a tweet I consider to be vile, to me it means that the person retweeting/sharing it is amplifying that vile message.

I wish Netgear would stop being so Broadcom centric. Broadcom is such a shit ass dead useless company, basically actively hostile to open source. Anyone can take tbis crown any day, but the r7800, the Nighthawk X4S (2017), is still basically "the" openwrt router, & there's just flat nothing, not a single thing since 2017 that really competes & is viable. There's almost nothing that's 802.11ac compatible, much less wifi6, just a couple good but low end MediaTek units, & the world awaits some change & progress in tbis deadlocked sad unmoving sob story of broad unavailability.
One thing that has prevented me from trying out fossil is there is no squash. The team has a principled stand on not having it.

Your suggestions are terrific and I’m sure there are others that are great too. Every system that involves humans will be game-able in some way, that’s simply life. That The Match is a much better system than college placement is undeniable and refusing to implement it because it’s not perfect is foolish.
Personally, the idea that a new protocol is (apparently) motivated by making HFT faster is, in a word, nauseating.
The only time I visit twitter is when a link to something there is posted from elsewhere. That level of focused twitter activity is just about right. Hanging out there I think I'd quickly drown in the noise.
I tangled with the FTB a few years ago. I’ve never lived in California or spent more than a couple consecutive days in the state. My employer was based in LA and screwed up my tax status in the payroll system. I somehow had no state income tax withheld for the year(I blithely filed and paid in my home state), paid a bunch of LA city taxes, and ended up with the FTB coming after me for tens of thousands in unpaid taxes and penalties.

The thing that was really unbelievable was how threatening and aggressive they were. When I got someone on the phone they refused to admit that there could be any way that I, a non-resident who never set foot in the state that tax year, could claim that my income wasn’t subject to their tax regime. Nope, it’s all California source income. That’s what they claim. And they make their documentation as confusing as possible, dark patterns at their best.

Eventually I got it sorted out. Never could figure out how to get my money back from Los Angeles.
With the satellite megaconstellations being launched it seems important to ban it before it becomes common. Mercury-based fuels are cheaper than alternatives.

Coal as being burned for electricity has an industry standard of scrubbing 90% of mercury emissions, but is moving towards 99% using newer technologies.

You can already make Twitter work this way: https://lee-phillips.org/howtotwitter/

I mostly see relevant information and never anything promoted by Twitter, because I never look at my timeline.

Then it turns out you were wrong but you never know because you were stuck inside your cope bubble like some Japanese soldier in a remote island bunker thinking WWII was still going 30 years after it finished.

You block me because I block you and next thing you know pacifists are cheering on neo nazis and greenies are begging for cheaper gas and oil.

Free speech is important because true speech stands up to scrutiny and lies do not. Therefore only liars want to curtail free speech.
Tempting... but then you go too far in the opposite direction and assume people only disagree with you because they're just too dumb.

I think the ideal is to take the feedback, consider it, but feel free to discard it. But at least consider that you said something dumb or didn't express it as well as you could have.

> If money disappeared overnight, a lot of people would die

If asbestos disappeared overnight lot of people would die. I almost made this a list but it would detract from the point. Making something disappear overnight is almost always harmful in any systemic context. There are a lot of things I want to eradicate from existence, and I don’t think I could name one which I would want eradicated overnight.

But I wasn’t even advocating for eliminating money. I was acknowledging a tension between incentives. Please don’t make me elaborate about dialectics. No one will enjoy it.
Money doesn't allow people to live, shelter, food, water and friends are what allows people to live. Do you think that you plant dollar bills in the ground and they grow food?
In fairness, expectations are a bit high around these parts. Maybe this article wasn't written for us.

Free speech is important. It also has nothing to do with me letting other people take up screen space on my monitor.

Blocking people from my Twitter account isn’t curtailing their free speech.
Twitter made me so angry I just stopped going there for my own mental health. The other day my partner linked me to a well liked thread featuring two people on Twitter arguing why it was or was not ethical to travel to Hawaii now given the oil spill in the aquifer by the Navy. One was arguing that visiting Hawaii in light of the spill would be unethically affecting hard-working everyday Hawaiians. The other argued that tourism dollars buoy the economy. After first 5 hot takes by both with many likes, you get to the bottom of the thread and realize than one of them is a European teenager and the other an Australian, neither having ever even visited Hawaii in their lives let alone lived there.

I'm trying to understand how Scantron can be racist. It does not know the identity, race, demographic or the economic class of the test taker. It literally just scans the test takers responses and scores it based on a preset solution. You are not given extra time because of your demographic nor are certain demographics punished or given extra points, everybody has access to the same learning resources, and one can take mock exams in preparation based on previous Scantron exams. The test producers do not know the race, demographic of the test taker or think about race when creating exam questions. They write questions to filter out those who demonstrate the best aptitude. Do you feel that this is unfair? What alternative do you forsee that could measure the aptitude of the test takers? Is this attitude limited only to academia or does it apply to professional sports? Do you think knowledge of game theory and physics should be an important part of aptitude tests for atheletes? Should pianists be subject to athletic requirements to measure their aptitude to enter Carnegie Hall?
True. In general, jokes are almost always at the expense of someone. Also from the article:

> here are two ways a joke can fail: it can be too bland or too offensive.

In comedy shows, I find most jokes that get laughs/laugh-tracks are just offensive to someone.
I would argue that: yes, it is immoral.

Is it likely for you to get caught for insider trading? Probably not.

Especially if you're Joe Blow and you make 10k on this. If you are Joe Blow making 10k also means you did not have a lot of "play money" to act upon overhearing some random conversation. Or you do but didn't trust it fully (how did you know it was 'material' and not just some guys at a business lunch 'boasting' to each other?) and just did it to test waters or have fun.

The larger the sums get I would argue the more likely it is you will get caught because it means you are probably much closer to the actual information than meets the eye. Or it gets caught in some filters based on amount and such that someone starts looking at etc. If you really just completely randomly overhear something like this, how do you judge that it is 'material'? Is someone going to bet his entire savings account on a completely random encounter of overhearing Bill Gates and Warren Buffett discussing something 'material' over lunch and they are in earshot range? And here we are talking major celebrities that probably even Joe Blow would recognize and judge as 'probably material'.

You know what? Even though it's still immoral I totally wouldn't judge Joe Blow betting $100 to make $10.000 on that and put it on the mortgage. He probably bets that same thing on some Superbowl weird odds bet each year and looses.

More likely? Joe Insider knows exactly when Company X and Company Y are gonna announce some multi billion dollar deal because they've been in talks for months and they work in BI to get the numbers for this deal to them and things seem to be getting close. Get a few trades in with the bonus money or proceeds from the RSUs vesting. Immoral act to make 100k of RSUs into 10 million and be set for life.
it seems there is evidence that GPT-3 is being overtrained in response to well publicized bad inputs, without regard to the generalizability of the PR-driven spot-edits, which is what the article describes
