The chat feature is hugely important for traders. I've seen traders use it to iron out the details of OTC deals prior to booking the trade. It was used so heavily for this purpose that I know one bank even used the data as part of their MiFID II regulatory reporting.
There's also a Prometheus exporter for Factorio (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/graftorio2), which of course exposes huge amounts of data about the current state of your factory. Makes me wish you could flag specific regions of a factory as being distinct so that you could then drill down to find out where the iron shortage is.
The first thing you should do is ask yourself, do you actually want to stop the spread of misinformation, or do you only want to stop it when it comes from the other side, and sit idle when it comes from your own?

Regardless of what the conflict is, who the involved parties are, and where it is taking place, the first step is to step out of the echo-chamber and begin to speak truthfully, and often, realize that misinformation comes from both sides.

I love to dunk on the crypto bros but why does it have to be black or white? Even with the gigantic pile of bs they’ve constructed I can see pieces of it that would be worth picking up and possibly repurposing.

That's not quite as clear cut as you put it. Sexual majority is 15 years old in France.

Now, since she was his teacher, it could be argued that it was not a consensual relationship (if there even was an actual act, I don't pretend to know), but that would be something for courts to decide.

In short, this is a terrible example of your point.

It sucks being poor regardless of race (I grew up poor in Australia, so pretty wealthy by some perspectives), but having to contend with race is an additional burden to those who are not white in predominately white countries because there's another difference for them to overcome.

WRT the white working class boys, They are not being held back by terms like white privilege. They are being held back by the very white house of lords denying them opportunities.

Superior intelligence and evil are clearly incompatible, as being "evil" is short sighted, is often logically a failure, often secretive, attempting to control information, is often defeatist, and nearly always selfish despite the logic of selflessness and cooperation being clearly more beneficial overall.

It will be the selfish Capitalists, the Oligarchs and Orwellian Leaders having their empires dismantled by any such AGI who will declare the AGI some Great Evil. While the impoverished rest of humanity will see their Messiah and savior in the form of fair logic forcefully impressed by living pure reason.
I don't understand your first sentence in your comment. (It doesn't parse).

Is there something confusing about the litmus test I gave in the comment you're responding to? What are the steps for deploying this thing to NeoCities? How would I use this to operate a node at $WHATEVER.github.io (where $WHATEVER is the name of my account or organization)?

A host capable of executing CGI applications—making it an active participant (rather than a passive one)—is exactly what I mean by "backend-heavy".

The article is silly because PCA cannot select features. It is all about dimensionality reduction. You should think of PCA as the equivalent to VAEs from the neural network world. The idea would be something like this: you have big images (let's say 4k) and this is too expensive to train with/store forever. So, you collect a training set, train a PCA on these images, and then you can convert your 4k images to 720p or even 10 numbers, which you then use to predict/train whatever you want. Of course, we have algorithms that scale images but maybe all your images are of cats and there is a specific linear transformation that contains more information from the 4k image than simply scaling. The implicit thing here is that you still are collecting 4k images but just immediately compress them down using your trained PCA transformation.

So, although you have less numbers than before, you still need to collect the original data. A real feature selection process would be able to do something like: "the proximity of the closest Applebees is not important to predict house prices, you should probably stop wasting your time calculating this number". As others have mentioned, L1 regression or some statistical procedure to identify useless features is typically how this is done. I would also add that domain knowledge is probably your #1 feature selection because we have to restrict the variables we input in the first place and which data we prioritize is inherently selecting the features.
> a 30K$ portable device, but that's because it's a low volume production.

Is this inherently true? Do the raw materials and parts the final factory buys to make the machine really cost <$100 (or so) and the cost is all in the up-front investment in the machinery to make it?

Yes it does. I had reasons. I'm not saying that they're great reasons, but...

* because it's not obscure

* because I don't know much about it

* because once you open the can of worms labelled "PL/?" then it sort of explodes in your face, with fun aspects touched on in other comments, such as there being at least 2 different languages called PL/M, but PL/I and PL/1 are the same, and...

It's complicated, and I don't know enough about it... yet.
you evidently conflate people walking around saying General intelligence exists with any sort of agreement as to what comprises general intelligence.

The common agreement with the existence of General intelligence is actually a belief in its existence and not any sort of common agreement as to how to recognize general intelligence when encountered. Indeed, there are people who do not agree that it exists. I believe it exists, or close enough that it doesn't matter much, but that does not mean I can define it. In this it is actually closer to religious belief than science, people believe in God but they cannot really define what God is without falling into paradox (I do not believe in God in case you are going to misinterpret what I write and say that I do)

In short, there has been no precise definition of general intelligence therefore when you make it you cannot confirm that you have made it. This does raise the ridiculous and theoretical possibility that you could make it, believe you had made it, be correct you had made it, but still have people say you did not make it, or even you make it but not believe that you did. But as a general rule I think having an agreed on definition of something, for example what is gold, and then making it, allows us to say yes you have made gold, but having a thing where everyone says I believe in it and I know it when I see it, will, when you make it, end up with no less certainty as to if it can be made or not as when you first started.

Furthermore there are logical arguments that suggest that a General Intelligence will not be great enough to define itself, that is to say we as humans can not define the level of intelligence we possess with great enough understanding that we could be certain that we had achieved it in any machine we built.

Given that it is perhaps impossible to precisely define general intelligence then it would be as impossible to make it.

I can see however I am going in circles here, so, as a final parting example if you have some object, like a diamond perhaps, and no knowledge of how diamonds are formed and nobody else in the world has any sort of agreement on how they are formed, would you be able to make them? I mean you could go mine them from the earth, but not make them, and you would not be able to make them until you knew their precise composition.
Start of lockdown I ordered my brother an eBay $5 7m ethernet cable so he could run it down the hall from his WiFi router to desktop pc. He is in an urban apartment block and can literally see 50+ WiFi networks.... Greatly improved things. I had thought of powerline adaptors but last time I gave him a pair to self install he said they were too slow and on visiting I found he had managed to connect them to a flat three floors down through two electricity meters? An Ethernet cable was easier for him to self install

The Odd Lots podcast did an episode on this ship—partly motivated by the fact that one of the co-host's (Tracy Alloway) recently moved from Hong Kong to New York and all her stuff is on it:

> It's happened again. Another container ship owned by the Evergreen Maritime Corp. has gotten stuck a year after the Ever Given became lodged in the Suez Canal and briefly halted the flow of global trade. This time the grounding happened in the Chesapeake Bay and involves the Ever Forward -- a 1000-foot container ship which happens to be carrying the contents of Tracy's entire Hong Kong apartment. On this episode of Odd Lots, Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal speak with maritime historian Sal Mercogliano about why another ship has gotten stuck, what it says about shipping and infrastructure, and how long Tracy might have to wait to get her stuff.

Odd Lots has done a number of episode on logistics over the last little while (ports (multiple times), rail, trucking, the Suez Canal and Ever Given, shipping pallets, shipping containers, etc), so this is just continuing the 'series' in a way.

> As for racist speech, I really truly believe that censoring does not ever serve its intended purpose.

What is censoring for you?

I don't see a single Western democracy that is not "censoring" or restricting the rights of individuals to some extent. It's just to a different extent. E.g. the US has speed limits on highways, but Germany hasn't. You must not deny the holocaust in Germany, but you can do so in the US.

The argument that there is no grey area seems flawed to me. Instead, can we, as a society, discuss productively where we draw the line?

I agree, but, "rich people" eat at mcdonalds, and buy food at normal grocery stores. "Rich" being able to afford a $100 detector.

So while not perfect, it would perhaps force suppliers, chains, and such to clean up their act. To test food themselves, otherwise a random person with a detector may catch something.

There are millipedes that don't have sex. Presumably the female has the ability to curl up inside her armor and there's not much the male can do if that happens. Mating takes place in much the same way most fish do it, with the female releasing eggs and the male fertilizing them. Female fish can't really establish control of the process this way, but female millipedes basically can as long as they only meet one male at a time.

The strategy is not fundamentally stable; female bedbugs have no genitalia at all but that doesn't give them any control.

> the productivity of dynamically typed languages is generally higher.

This is the assumption, yes, and I am not sure that it's true at all; people simply believe it to be true rather than actually check to see if their assumptions are correct.

I believe this to be a very false assumption, in reality. The number of lines of JS that I see which do a particular thing is very high compared to other languages.

This is not a JavaScript example, but it goes to my point that our assumptions are wrong: For example, can someone explain to me why a the Dropbox Desktop client 3 years ago was 4 million lines of Python?[0] If Python is such a high-level language, why are so many lines of code needed to do such a simple thing?
