Home-schooled kids are missing out on a lot even if you assume they are getting a good basic education and you're also somehow compensating for the social aspects.

Just to cite one example: music programs. Drama programs. The arts in general. Hard to substitute for these at home.

In addition, more widespread home-schooling serves the right-wing interests that are trying to tear down society in general, and to tear down the public school system in particular, in favor of religious indoctrination and elite schools for the rich. Those interests are dangerous and ascendant enough as it is. They don't need any more help right now.
It sounds like you might be interested in checking out IEC 61499 Function Blocks - this is a new -ish automation programming standard / domain specific language. It allows for concepts as you are describing them, with communication blocks, basic blocks, composite blocks, etc, deployed to resources and systems.
I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to take away from this.

The author is obviously quite musically gifted, as was his tutor?

Berklee has a bunch of nonsense curriculum?

Berklee has a bunch of acceptable curriculum, but if you happen to be a musical genius and have a musical genius as a tutor, you can quickly prove that you’re smarter than everybody else?

Is any of this meant to be inspiring to regular folks, or is it just for people that already consider themselves to be intellectually far ahead of most others in their age group or field?

I'm not export on Dugin, nor a supporter, but that's kind of silly to call him a fascist, since he himself rejects "Fascism" as an antiquated ideology. He's more of a postmodernist thinker, that fully accepted Truth as being relative, and used it to embrace traditional Russian cultural values and interests as being equally True.

But I'm probably doing a terrible job on summarizing his views, so here's someone that studied him:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFI6fg8NITg

Since he's widely considered as the ideological muse of Putin. What he thinks might actually be more consequential and real to the fate of western liberalism than anything else, should nuclear WWIII happen.
It has some rough edges, but I'm still pretty proud of it. The first time it just worked, and people were all adding songs to the playlist at once was magical.

I could totally see Brew.fm working for hardcore discovery. People who are in the music industry or are really serious about finding new stuff. Choose who to follow, see who's released what every day. The really amazing thing would be being able to see what's new + popular, hot releases by unknown artists. Unfortunately I don't think that info is available through their API.

Are you hiring at Welcome?
It’s nothing I keep secret. I work at AWS ProServe.

But I also know that MS has always been focused on growing their partner network.
This article is overly dismissive, to say the least. To say the most, it's overconfident, riddled with unsupported logical premises which are never backed by any concrete evidence, and a word salad. However, in the interest of not being just another jerk on the internet, I'll try to summarize my thoughts on the author's arguments in a (hopefully) somewhat constructive, concise way.

I read the entire article. There's a lot of ten-dollar words, a bunch of hyphenated proxy terms, and an obvious passion behind it. However, the author's entire argument appears to boil down to "a superhuman AI can never exist because it would need to have a conscious experience above that of humans, which it can't ever do because several famous philosophers have said so." I don't want to mock, but no logical argument is presented, only the appearance of one. Statements like "in order for thing ABC to happen, XYZ must be true" are everywhere in the text, and are never proven. The author's entire case is predicated on baseless assumptions.

The author says that it is impossible to replicate the "worldlike experience" that a human child goes through using things like internet datasets or physical robots with digital sensors. I actually agree with this. What I do not agree with is the logical leap from this point to "thus, a human or superhuman level AI cannot exist". No justification for this leap is given.

If the robot passes the Turing test, that's all that matters. An adversarial, multi-day, modern version of a Turing test could include things like texting, calling, live video chats, etc -- basically the exact same level of communication I have with my closest friends who all live 6 hours away from me in another city. When I interact with those friends, I am convinced of their sentience. Therefore, if an AI could replicate those means of communication, then I will be convinced of its sentience.

Enough of this "Something it is like to be"-ness waffling or overcomplicated thought experiments. We already have a very easy, very strictly defined concept of sentience in the form of the Turing test, and it is becoming increasingly obvious that SOTA models are trending towards beating it. Once they beat it, they are for all intents and purposes alive, thinking, sentient, whatever you want to call it. They are indistinguishable from us.

From that point it's really not hard to imagine superhuman models. Just imagine what you would do if you had the ability to instantly scan through gigabytes of text in a database or predict the behavior of every other person around you eerily well or perform arithmetic at clearly superhuman speeds. It's really not that much of a stretch to see superhuman AIs as just digital humans with fantastic brain-computer-interfaces.

Anyways, those are my (admittedly long-winded, less-than-constructive) two cents.
Do you have any additional information on how vibration tests are conducted? If there are any industry standards/certificates or anything? What is the procedure you follow at isomer before passing off to launch?

Thanks!
What part of my comment was speculation?

I pointed out facts in the story.
iCircuit 3D has a deeper parts catalog and a mechanical physics-based simulation on top of the circuit simulation.
I think there’s a paragraph or two of context missing in the original post.

It’s just not reasonable to expect an uncommon name to be pronounced correctly. My last name is Lund-Molfese. The first part is Swedish, the second part Italian. It’s utterly impossible to know how to say it without asking me, and my response when people ask if they’ve got it right is usually “sure that’s fine,” because it’s not a good use of anyone’s time (in the workplace) to coach everyone I meet on the pronunciation of my name. Professionally, I go by my initials now, to avoid the need for others to speak my last name entirely.

All that being said, I wonder if the author is talking about nicknames like “Jackie” instead of “Jacqueline.” They don’t specify, but deliberately choosing a nickname without asking (or even asking, honestly) is obviously offensive and not appropriate in a professional setting. It is fine to mispronounce names, but you should make a good-faith effort to replicate whatever nomenclature someone is introduced with.
You sound like someone who thinks they're better than everyone else.
Social adeptness stands out too, though.

“Socially adjusted” means behaving like someone who spent twelve years in a public institution. No more or less.

I think highly of the homeschooled kids I’ve known, for the record.
The only problem with the rubik's cube analogy is that it may suggest that there are more optimal methods to solve it and they just aren't being used.
Yeah I veiled a lot of complexity for sure, but honestly that's for the best. If we talked too in-depth about the implementation of most protocols, I'm sure we'd find something to scoff about XD.
What? The right-wing purpose of home-schooling is to get away from the religious indoctrination in public schools. And their support of school choice means elite schools for everybody, instead of just the rich, which is the status quo.

And at least in my school district, homeschoolers in the district could participate in extracurriculars like band and drama a la carte.

> They interacted a LOT more in 1-on-1 conversations with adults than most kids do.

That's not really a surprising result, is it? Most kids spend all day at school being told not to talk unless called on; plenty even spend most of their day at home like that (at least with the adults in their lives, parents "I'm too busy" and such)...

> Scouts, karate, MTG clubs are some ideas

Yeah, there were definitely a lot of kids in cub and boy scouts who were home schooled when I was growing up. For the religious folks, church and church events had an outsize proportion of homeschool kids as well (I suspect cause and effect goes both ways there). It's likely the homeschool community in your area also coordinates social events (even if it's just going to a park).
To nitpick: Overstrikes/other combining characters and the multiple possible ways to represent the same glyph are aspects of Unicode, the character set which deals with code points from 0 to 0x10ffff. Whereas UTF-8 is a way of encoding that character set into a sequence of bytes. The things you describe are present in all unicode encodings.
the other part of this is that while 99% of the time, these tricks give the right answer, there are cases where they can lead you to doing invalid things like switching between sums of integrals and integrals of sums (which in pathological cases can change the answer)
> the system is designed so anyone can keep up ... this principle applies to all of life, not just school.

Disagree. The incentives for school are such that it would honestly be surprising to me if the system were not designed for all to keep up. Adult, real-life, everybody trying to make money life is very different and this rule does not apply.
I read this article a while ago and recently re-listened to his interview on Tim Ferriss' podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnk4sgOFjBQ He talks about how maniacal he was at practicing music at a young age. His friends gave him a hard time because all he wanted to do was practice scales over and over. The dude was exceptionally motivated from a very early age.

The gist of this blog post is that the average pace is for chumps and that he was able to finish Berkelee school of music in much less time than the average person takes thanks to studying ahead of time with a mentor and reading the books and testing out. He wasn't a 'chump' and the lesson is that you shouldn't be either.

I remember reading this advice 10 years ago and really taking it to heart. I didn't want to be a chump afterall and became convinced I could do everything faster than the chumps. But the problem with this is that it can make you beat yourself up and/or always feel rushed if it does take you a normal amount of time to do something. Like I've had to admit that I'm a really slow programmer. It took me forever to learn it. And I beat myself up a lot in the process.

But now I've taken to listening to more Alain de botton and Oliver Burkeman for my self-help/self-development. These British authors advocate for a much gentler version of self help. In one Alain de botton interview, he mentioned how we've come to worship exceptionalism and see being average as being bad. Oliver Burkeman's 4000 weeks book plainly states that you can't do it all. This has been super refreshing for someone like me who took Sivers' stuff seriously in my early 20s and then beat myself up for merely being average at many things.
For me the main issue with the scaremongering around absurdly hyper-scaled models is the issue of incentive alignment (not to be confused with AI "alignment"): the only people who can train these things have a tarball of the Internet and billions of dollars worth of compute, and when AI safety or AI ethics comes up it's usually in the context of: "why we're going to continue developing this stuff but keep it proprietary and paywalled and opaque".

Either these things have terrifying potential as weapons, in which case there's no fucking way I want SV tech CEOs to have a monopoly on them, they need to hand them over to the same people who handle nuclear non-proliferation like yesterday, or they don't, in which case I'd really prefer that they just be honest that they consider this stuff a proprietary competitive advantage and they're not going to democratize it.

Fogging up the windshield with a bunch of feigned alarm about AI apocalypse but ramming the R&D through at full thrusters is a dick move in either case.
Yeah, this entire article read like a giant example of the logical fallacy of personal incredulity. None of the author's claims are actually backed up in any meaningful way.
The police are recommending he is changed with rape.

That is - at the very least - a credible accusation.
> Teach your whole course in a fake language or on a fake machine like MMIX.

Sorry, what's the point of that? I don't think it would make any difference for cheating?
It's more interesting for many to believe that AI could be so powerful that we run into fantastical problems like what you described. That's the only reason I've been able to come up with to explain why people think deeply fake looking deep fakes are approaching Azimovian levels.
The concept extends to viruses as well, with some small viruses infecting other, larger ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virophage
There is a path laid by those who have come before. You can walk it or you can run it.
How can something like this be discovered in 2022? It sounds incredible. I would understand it if it was at the bottom of the sea, but they appear to be standing in plain sight. No one gave any thought to it before?
Maybe they are. Better at programming and leading projects, that is.
I liked the illustrations in the COCOMITE guidebook to professional tools, published by Trusco Nakayama in Japan. It’s online in English here:

HSBC was likely still in possession of the records created by GAAP, and thus could reveal another set of links in the network of money movement. They had a bargaining chip.

Tornado.cash does not. Also, if you haven't noticed, nation states tend to come down like a ton o' bricks on high-tech facilitators of criminal activity, the idea being that by implementing that bit of infrastructure that made all of the criminal activity you have facilitated easier, you have substantively participated in all those crimes.

I'm not saying that's okay, or how it should be, but look at Aaron Swartz, Alfred Anaya, McAfee, Assange... It's the same pattern. You will be made an example of as a warning to others.

Good/bad, that is positive/negative valence, can be encoded into its evaluation function such that its value landscape aligns with ours. There's nothing nonsensical about it.
Sadly I don’t know how to futz about with traps, I just haven’t gotten
to that point yet in my use of groff.

First I would point you to the manpage, but, we all know that manpages are a mess, so it might not be there.
I will however point you, perhaps not /super/ helpful, but alas, I know not of any better solution.
If you go to
/usr/share/groff/current/tmac/s.tmac
and search for «module fn», that should be the code for the footnotes.
Aside, the -ms name comes from this, -m means macro, and whatever letter comes after it is the macro set, hence why -man will be called an.tmac in groff source code, or in this case, s.tmac.

I am not sure where documentation is on traps in groff, but I assume it’s buried withing some manpage or info document somewhere.
Software is crap, eh? :D

Of course, you could ask in the groff mailing list[1], they are usually pretty helpful in these matters.
Which course of action you chose is of course up to you, I will investigate for myself as well to educate myself more on traps.

Hiding things! It is so frustrating to see that.
I remember quantum country from a couple of years ago and like most things online, I spent a bit of time on it, then it sat as an open tab for probably months before I went through and purged it because it wasn't important enough to revisit. It was very compelling, except it wasn't a tool. There was a view of a controversy in what education was (I associate it with Cardinal Newman), where the question was whether it was more effective to inculcate and find more efficient ways to encode and transfer information into minds, or whether it was best to "draw out," capabilities in students. It was framed as drawing out vs. putting in.

The idea of drawing out implies that there are more efficient ways to leverage innate human capabilities by providing students with tools to solve problems they already have. The complaint that "math isn't practical," is a failure of imagination on the part of teachers to present compelling problems, and teaching the abstractions without reasoning your way into them rewards only a very limited type of mind. "Math is social," is another one I hear a lot, which means you need to be engaged in an active conversation about it to do it, which is peculiar because I can hack my way through playing Bach and Chopin pieces on my own with just enough sight reading to get them under my fingers, and routinely memorize archaic and complex 1k+ word monologues for performance, but for some reason one still needs to be an initiate to do math because it's still modelled on the "putting in" mode of education.

Spaced repetition is amazing and necessary, and memory work is a very old practice, but they're limited by the "putting in" ideas behind it. When I'm doing those other activities, there is an urgency and a reward in them, where we haven't quite articulated a path for drawing it out in other fields.

I have a pet theory that the way to leverage peoples minds is to set the correct initial conditions that yield internal consistency from their iteration. Look at how encyclopedic people become when they believe in something. They have an explanation for everything that reinforces the initial idea, and some of it is actually not always terrible. Purely synthetic ideologies are just over a century old, but they are unreasonably effective as knowledge graphs. There is a formulaic recipe for ideologies I've been noodling, and maybe a good test run of it would be whether we could use it to create an Ancient Aliens tv show but for math, where we can travel around interviewing slightly bemused mathematicians about how really complex ideas are just homologies of a few elegant ones. I'm not saying it's category theory, but it's category theory. The memes write themselves.
Seriously? I've never even been able to enjoy a Mellencamp song once all the way through, much less on the daily. I get tired as you say, less than halfway through most of them. All the others you mention also would trigger fatigue as well, but I could at least funish the album then enjoy it again a month or two later.

70s music that doesn't ever get old for me:
First two sabbath albums
Floyd until they went all experimental.
Folksy john denver (as opposed to country)
Across virtually any measurable trait or collection of traits with a reasonably normal distribution, about half of the people will come out better than average.

Iratewizard may or may not be better than everyone else; but he/she is almost certainly better than average at a lot of things. We all are.
Out of curiosity, have you measured performance on M1's E cores as well?

Stable Diffusion[0] is an extremely expensive SOTA text-to-image diffusion model developed by a private nonprofit and trained on a massive "Internet tarball" that's about to have its weights shared open-source (the code and dataset are already open source).

Spain has a lot of remote rural areas. Must likely these stones were overgrown in tall grass, bushes or covered in dirt.

I walk a lot in remote areas but even there it's very rare for people to leave the trails.

And finally it's possible that some locals were aware of some "rocks in that field" but weren't aware of the archeological significance.

Be aware that the photo in the article is not from the site in question but one in France that's much bigger and maintained.
>It has been thoroughly tested live ...

Yes, definitely, and I'm sure all malicious actors made sure to disclose their exploits before it goes live, right? :)
And, what may be implied in your statement, the things we do today may not be right either. Like how one year studies say eggs are bad for you and the next they say they are good. I think there's a lot of settled science that is less settled than we think, or is at least misapplied/misinterpreted.
"Outside online" does not seem like an unbiased source on this issue. Asking four questions that pertain to something does not make a good measure of that something. Agree to disagree on this one.

This is coming from someone who spends a lot of time in the sun. Melanoma was never going to have much of an impact on mortality at the population level, the incidence of high grade melanoma is far too low.
You know how they tell people with social anxieties not to worry so much because nobody's paying attention? They're all too wrapped up in their own drama?

I think this shows that people can be both wrapped up in their own drama and scrutinize everyone else's behavior.

Eek!
that’s quite surprising. I’ve not personally had these issues but I don’t doubt it.
This article is not even wrong. Sentience, whatever that is, is not a requirement for superintelligence. Merely the ability to outsmart humans at particular tasks and have goals that are not aligned with our own is enough to be a potentially unstoppable danger. The author proposes that aligning the goals of a superintelligence with his will be as simple as setting a thermostat, not realizing that we already have an existence proof of superintelligences causing mass destruction.

Businesses put thousands of brains to work maximizing profit and causing climate change (leading to water security issues, mass migration, wars, and starvation), Bhopal disasters, and oil spills in Nigeria and the Gulf of Mexico, with legal teams making sure the profits are protected. Governments put millions of brains to work supporting a despot and leading to genocide, or trolling the Internet causing people to distrust a mostly scandal-free government and vote for a con-man (imagine a fully automated troll army). A single person is no match intellectually for these organizations, and their only hope is to band together to form other superintelligences to combat these.
