the number 9, is not the same thing as "true". some people may want it to be, it might be convenient for some people if a compiler treats them as the same thing, but they aren't. In my opinion, its an anti-pattern to have the compiler make these type of decisions. Instead of writing and reading code that is explicit, you're writing an abbreviated version of what you want, and assuming that the compiler will know what you mean.
Not all as far as I know. For ridge regression you will want to install glmnet, for example. mgcv which is usually shipped with R provides access to a few common fast kernels which seem to be the ones python programmers are familiar with.

That's not really what's happening at all. It's often cheaper to get an early diagnosis or catch a condition before it progresses too far.

The government doesn't actually hide information about diagnosing or treating diseases, even rare or expensive ones. They do, however, take into account the relative risk of false positives and resulting unnecessary treatments, which often outweigh any benefit of proactive testing for rare diseases.

It's counterintuitive, but if you have a 99% accurate test for something that means you're going to end up with 1 in 100 people getting false positives and undergoing potentially expensive (out of pocket) or dangerous diagnostics and treatments. When considering rare conditions that might only occur in 1 out of 100,000 patients each year, a 99% accurate test results in 1000 unnecessary false positives just to catch the 1 true positive. At scale, this can produce a lot of problems that can actually make life worse on average for the population rather than better.
I wonder if the thousands of years of oppression and aggression by predominantly males has somehow imprinted on them. Gender isn't specifically well defined in the study and I wonder if it is more stereotypical nonverbal behaviors that might play an impact.

Historically it's very unusual for someone with so much power to allow his regime to collapse so peacefully. And it's remarkable that Soviet politics, some of the most brutal and self-serving in history, would find such a figure at its head. God bless him and keep him.

Funny you should say. I had a 6 month contract position that kept getting renewed. The last renewal or two had very little work--it was mind numbing, for 8 hours a day, every day for months and months.

When faced with a mundane task that offers no learning opportunities, try and get creative within some time budget. When porting some Java source to C++ that included a test suite, I parsed it into ASTs, transformed the AST and unparsed the C++. Of course it wasn't complete as it was a total hack, but it was complete enough that tidying up the output was interesting because it would let me see if the process worked when I got through with it. The best part was not having to write the test suite from scratch.
You can also use something like plover on an N key rollover keyboard http://www.openstenoproject.org/

It may surprise you that my very high scale employer in addition to having no architects also has no devops. It has instead an infrastructure group that ships a PaaS. Engineers click their own buttons on the PaaS. Only if things have gone very wrong would you end up talking to or having actions taken on your services by the PaaS owners.

Now obviously to design such a PaaS successfully you should know a thing or two about ops, but the outcome of that expertise is a reusable software platform, not per-product (or worse, per-release) labor.

This entire thread instantly devolved into political football humping. The problems within the new post-USSR Russia couldn't have been fixed by the US or the West. The roots of what Russia would become were already deeply set as the USSR collapsed. The main actors there just changed names and continued business as usual.

it's the US embassy being very pedantic about the matter to the extent they find it important to dedicate the starting paragraph of the entire section about the US government, even though the difference is just about being more accurate. in fact, accuracy in founding principles of governing is as important as accuracy of long-distance ballistic motion planning.

What do you think we have now, where lower class people need to work to survive? If slavery is having the option between work or death, then I don't see how our current economic setup is not producing slaves. Sure, we don't treat the lower class as property (at least not normally), but they are definitely forced to work under any reasonable definition.

It is indeed worded poorly.

She was the one explaining to me why she wished that the people she loved could let go of their desire to hold on her. That way she could die as she wished, guilt-free. But instead she was stuck with a life of misery which she had a variety of reasons to believe would never improve.

It would be easy to dismiss were it but a childish tantrum. But it was not. She was very intelligent, mature and persuasive. And spent months improving her talking points into the best arguments that she could manage.

You find it easy to condemn someone who was in this position and was persuaded by despair. I can no more condemn them than I would a torture victim who broke. But I hope that you never are unfortunate enough to have an experience that shakes the arrogant naiveté that maintains your ignorance.

"No" is a complete sentence.

I don't have experience with image duplication, but if you can make a decent hash a 2.3 billion item hashtable is really cheap.

If you need to do something closer to pairwise (for instance, because you can't make a cheap hash of images which papers over differences in compression), make the hash table for the text descriptions, then compare the images within buckets. Of the few 5 or 6 text fields I just spot checked (not even close to random selection) the worst false positive I found (in the 12M data set) was 3 pairs of two duplicates with the same description. On the other hand I found one set of 76 identical images with the same description.
People often think of AGI as an AI which can learn to complete arbitrary tasks better than humans.

Given that we already can produce "an" AI which beats humans at almost every task we come up with (besides synthesis of broad abstract reasoning, a-la Chollet) this is probably the only definition which is meaningful in the sense that it isn't already here.

Why would evading 'alignment' not also be such a task AGI does better? AGI is like the nuclear deterrent. It's a technology thats coming, inevitably, and a thing which is beyond any amount of philosophical navel gazing to control or prevent.

AGI's will not be magical, they will have energy demands, construction costs, and environmental limitations.

I think it will be much more useful to ask how people coexist, and what role they serve in the post-AGI world, than it is to make statements about interperability or alignment, which will definitely seem silly in retrospect. The machinations of an AGI will be as impossible to understand, as human consciousness itself.

> I don't think the U.S. should take on the burden of developing other countries; going down that road has been a bad idea more often than not.

From what I can tell from history, our successes involved US taking sovereignty and ruling absolutely for a period of years while setting up a government of our choosing to replace us. Our failures involved quickly setting up a local democracy and allowing self rule while we tried and failed to help. It seems we lost the stomach to use power after military victory and the incompetent governments we set up doom the countries involved to decades of failure.

I really don’t think we should continue getting involved in places we don’t have the guts to set up a military government for a decade. It is clear you have to force societal change on a place at gunpoint in order to get good outcomes, if you’re just going to topple governments and hope whatever rises from the ashes is nice, you might as well not bother.

FWIW the notion of unscrupulous food vendors serving dog/cat meat is pretty common in other cultures, and it doesn't exclusively apply to Chinese restaurants. I've heard it in just about any context where meat is served.

To give a specific example, there's an old Soviet joke about a guy buying meat pierogi from a street vendor; after closely inspecting them, he asks: "So, did this meat bark or meow?", to which the seller replies, "Neither; it asked too many questions."
