Could it be that one of AA's goals is the creation of a population of donors to keep their organization funded, just like any other organized religious group? This would explain the reluctance to admit that alcohol addiction is not a 'lifelong disease' that requires lifetime committment to AA, wouldn't it?

Regardless, promoting bogus scientific claims in the name of social good does actual harm to people. It's one of the reasons for the whole anti-vax thing, and the resulting measles outbreaks, for example.

Zig uses manual memory management too (even more manual than Rust), so that's a bit strange question.

That’s more of a problem with Twitter’s design. I don’t want to see any “retweets”. If someone I care about replies to something then (optionally!) show me their reply. If I find that compelling I can follow the primary source. I do not care about regurgitated content.
It's not the keywords that are deceptive. It's keeping the rest of the code in a structure that is extremely different from what actually happens.

"To solve JavaScript's callback hell problem, several language mechanisms like Promise and async/await have already been introduced to JavaScript. Using async/await, which is the most promising one, callback hell code can be rewritten to another simple and shallow nested code with (almost) the same behavior. Unfortunately, however, it is still difficult to precisely understand the execution order of the rewritten async/await code, because the semantics of async/await is difficult.

This paper first clarifies that this problem is caused by the difficulty of the async/await semantics. Then, we propose and implement a novel async/await visualizer called AwaitViz, to support for programmers to understand the execution order of async/await. Our contribution is twofold. First, we show the feasibility of implementing the visualizer AwaitViz based on source-code instrumentation, which provides precise information on the JavaScript's asynchronous behavior. Second, we show the difficulties and limitations of implementing AwaitViz."

I am a lot more concerned about the fate of adjuncts. UCLA was seriously shamed recently because it was running job ads for PhDs to work without pay.

There are also a lot of scandals of tenure track people who don’t get tenure for reasons like: we can’t afford to have another tenured prof when adjuncts can teach the course, this prof was in an area that was fashionable 5 years ago but now it is not, etc.

I’d point to Jordan Peterson, who quit his tenured prof job, as a special example. That guy has had so much success with the message he is pushing today that him teaching a class at a uni would be like the boss of Walt Disney World hand squeezing oranges at a roadside stand. He was not driven out but instead found much greener pasture.

As for Pinker I’d leave out anybody who was such a shameless enabler of Jeff Epstein (e.g. Bill Clinton rode on the Lolita Express but didn’t publically discredit himself the way Pinker did defending Epstein.)

> I can see it now, everyone and their mother would be recommending changes to it. People would want it at the extremes, or tweaked to just not recommend their pet peeves.

I think the solution to this is to let people switch between different recommendation algorithms, a stream of chronological tweets, most liked among recent posted, one powered by ML, etc. I don't see any reason the implementations behind this, or even Twitter more broadly, could not be open source. There are many other open source projects, like Signal that manage this just fine. And for a while, even Reddit used to be open source. It's definitely do-able.

Equally, if someone serially says, “let me do whatever bad things I want, or else, you know, nuclear war”, you can’t yield to that and let them do whatever.

In other words, perverse as it seems, some things are worse than a remote chance of a nuclear war.
I didn't say it was lesser. I said it's different than being the new "it." There's "popular" and then there's "society thinks this is the cutting edge of culture - popular." Dave Grohl is the first one.
I think they're looking for a statement like:

Do they have the levers in place to manipulate results or is it a clear objective scoring system that shows what you see on your feed and search results? I believe they have something like this. To what extent its being manipulated is a separate question.

> What an embarrassingly dishonest characterization of the problem. Nobody sane is arguing that "criticism is censorship".

Is that so? Why do the same people who claim they’re all about free speech get all wound up about “cancel culture” then? There are clearly rules in their head about who should actually have the right to say whatever they want. I quite confident that I am not “low-IQ.”
Your labeling of "political plays" and "propaganda" is entirely arbitrary. You neglect that those who did what you say is "propaganda" were just as worried about the technology.

The fact is there are lots of legitimate concerns about the risks around nuclear technology, with and without nuclear weapons in the mix. Opposition to nuclear power is driven by a different tolerance of such risk and especially a lower trust in what some scientists say about the risks, after they had been wrong a few times. Not all scientists, because quite a few don't see nuclear power as a risk worth taking. To me, what you are doing is itself dishonest and ignorant, by broadly calling all of this "propaganda".

> so this is the first apple laptop that can run it

There were a few 16" MBP models that could be equipped with 64gb of memory, before the Apple silicon transition.

Also worth noting, a lot of the older Intel chips also had memory capacities that went beyond 64 gigs. In theory Apple could have shipped a 128gb MBP.
Interesting, based on their code samples it looked to me like a GC language since (at least from what I saw) I didn't see anything regarding memory management.
I'm still missing MS Paint. MS Paint is unmatched on intuitiveness and simplicity.

This App is nice but the moment I launched it, it started forcing me make decisions: I had to decide how large the canvas should be. I don't know? Let me see the default so I can decide if I want it bigger or smaller.

When I move my cursor over the canvas, it indicates that I am doing something wrong("forbidden" icon next to the cursor). Why don't you first give me the tool that can do something on that canvas so that I can get my feet wet?

I'm sure when I learn the app a bit I will see how simple and powerful it is but with MS Paint everything makes sense immediately, it's just the pinnacle of intuitive image editing.

I think macOS needs an image editor that aims for the simplicity of MS Paint. The professional stuff is out there and it's really good but we still don't have an app for stitching a few random images together and put a text on top as easy as with MS Paint. Preview can do it, Preview is actually very powerful and can do amazing things with PDF and such but it's total pain in the ass to use it to edit something.

The author's suggestion of a marketplace for algorithms sounds really cool. Whether it's easily technically feasible is another question entirely but the idea of that level of customization would be really cool. Some of the functionality is already there with Lists (as far as allowing regular users to create feeds and others being allowed to subscribe to them).

I do worry about the political implications of it though. People choosing to subscribe to only their world view would create an impenetrable echo chamber. At least now, there is some crossover. If people chose algorithms that avoided the other side of a debate, it would make things worse. Furthermore, you could have outside influences tricking people into certain algorithms to secure a populace with their beliefs.
True, but that doesn't imply that TMSC will be taken over by China.

In Ukraine, the territory is what Russia wants (minerals, crops) but in Taiwan it's the "human capital" that's desirable, and the latter isn't so susceptible to invasion.

It's likely that Russia, with ten times the armed forces of Ukraine, will devastate Ukraine, unfortunately. But China is more likely to hold off devastating Taiwan.
..and the central city of Kyiv was the furthest east Russia ever went, which leads us back to the question of where people got the idea that Russia ever intended to annex all of Ukraine.

The writer calling pop stars "heroes" for continuing to live despite no longer being famous is a bit of stretch. Pop stardom is a marketing fueled, collective delusion that we snap out of when the money dries up. These people are ultimately made from same mundane cloth as everyone else, it's the advertising that's special. Believing the hype at the height of fame is the depressing part, not having to live a "normal" life.
I have never wished for awards on HN, but this comment surely deserves one.
Bahy-Dole Act and DoD Federal Acquisition Regs. are the answer to your question about "who gets access to these patents" and should be the focus of reform if you find them inadequate. Outside my area of the law, but my understanding is prior to Bahy-Dole, it was common for the Gov. to take title to patents arising from Gov. funded research, and that this was seen as a disincentive to commercializing the technology. So Bahy-Dole adjusted the balance, with certain lesser rights (like march in rights and a license) going to the government to try to drive more commercialization of the technology that was invented under Gov. contracts.
It would provide insight but if the goal is to increase transparency to the point of meaningfully improving trust in the centralized actor that is Twitter, I don’t see it moving that needle much. Given the right data you can kind of coax a lot of these algorithms into arbitrary outputs, so if you’re starting from a place of distrust then if you can’t replicate the outputs yourself you wont have evidence to alter priors significantly with just code imo.

This isn't used widely because it is hard. But it's not but novel.

1. Companies want to standardize their hiring when really they should be looking to customize it to each candidate.

2. Lots of companies want to spread the blame of a bad hire across a committee of 4 or 5 people, but I think if you looked you'll find many startups doing it this way. They stop when they grow to a large size. They do it because frankly hiring good engineers is no longer the top priority (it's typically quotas AKA butts in seats).
Artist's Impression of OpenAI's DALL-E: It’s about imagination. thankfully
The Heideggerian point is a start, but I don't think it's enough to just point out a failure like this. This allegation is something like "The answer is already encoded in the question" like of trick, similar to one played in Foucault's episteme, where science itself is always-already a social construction without which it is impossible to happen.

The trick is challenging on first sight but it won't go very far, because it just tells us what ML lacks but doesn't tell us what ML can have and how to go there. We need a new kind of Turing test that actually reflects the power of human intellect.

Yes, I wasn't commenting on the original "taking it seriously" language.

> If the market price reflected the probability, then an arbitrage strategy should not be profitable
> The market doesn't reflect the probability of an event happening.

No, the market's implied probability could be right, on average, across all deals...and the top merger arb funds could absolutely still be profitable by selecting deals when they think the market is mispricing the probability (for the reasons you mention: better experience, knowledge, etc.)

It's like the sports betting market: you can roughly impute a team's win probability from the (opening) betting line...and even if that's right on average, the top gamblers are still profitable.

And, of course, sometimes things with a say, 40% chance of happening do happen...so that doesn't mean the market was "wrong" about the chance (i.e. your LinkedIn mispricing exmaple).

But sounds like we're in full agreement you can't look at the implied probability from the market price and draw some conclusion about it definitely happening, or definitely not happening (e.g. the market not taking it seriously).

Why do you say this, they do. I can teach gpt about new objects I have made up and it’s physical properties and it can understand them. That seems a clear example of generalizing beyond training set, or do you not think so?

My hot take is that this correct in spirit.

However, it just moves the conceptual line between data/feature engineering and modeling so as to make the data/feature engineering encompass nearly all of the process.

By this definition of ML, one might just say that clever ML is a really clever way to engineer useful features, after which we "merely" average them.

It feels like semantics.
We really need some X86 stuff to come out on that 5nm process already. Everyone keeps saying that the M1 chips are great, and they are right, but then they slip into implying it's because of the ARM design, which I don't think there's any evidence for. Yet. When AMD's Zen 4 stuff comes out we'll finally be able to compare architectures, and I can't wait.
I was not talking about pro and ultra devices. "M1" != "M1 Pro"
We labelled them -- their pixel space geometric structure has no inherent relevance to their character space structure --- and the only inferential
contexts this will work in is where we rig the deployment to only require these sorts
of coincidences.

Animals acquire robust techniques which are not brittle to these sorts of thin contexts.

We do so by not templating pregiven data -- but by coordinating our bodies in the world, and rearranging it, so as to determine how to regulate ourselves in response to it.

Only a teen reading cosmo would think King-Man=Woman. The reason we can even interpret this thin formalism is because of our robust understanding of the concepts that these character symbols name.

With these concepts we don't cross domains, we regulate our own imagination, and so on, so as to create representations which are thick across an infinity of domains.

Talking in terms of feature domains has it backwards -- it assumes they're available for measurement. We don't transfer thin templates across
domains. Our representations aren't within a feature space --- they're techniques for self-regulation.

With these we can construct templates in an infinite number of different feature spaces -- ie., project by imagination from our techniques

Tell me you're a difficult teammate without saying you're a difficult teammate.
The point is to increase transparency, period. And you are the one arguing against that. Nobody is saying it’s enough, but it’s objectively better than nothing, and it would make it possible to ask more specific questions and make more specific arguments for the value of more transparency. Again, you are the one arguing against it but you have not provided a reason why.
