Science is iterative yes, but when we say that we mean we cannot know everything all at once so of course some theories will be wrong. But, what the commented is saying is that it is not just that we do not know everything so our theories are incomplete, it is that the "scientifically derived knowledge" that we do know, is mostly false.

Their are entire disciplines with a 80%+ false results rate. This is not an iterative process, this is we did a scientific study and found with 99.999% certainty that X is true, but its not. This is not iterating towards truth, this is just claiming to have authority and being absolutely wrong. And given how science tries to be iterative, these wrong results can then be used to derive more wrong results. Iterative processes cannot function with incorrect axioms.

You cannot just hide behind science as an authority and assume it will fix everything and you can just unthinkingly trust any results it generates.
This was 100% my experience. It was a standing joke in our Navy command of ~1200 people that the morning routine was to get into the office, type username/pw, then go get coffee and BS with co-workers for 30 minutes and by the time you got back, Outlook would just be finished coming up.

Week ago my client lost data on ZFS by accidentaly deleting folder. Unfortunately the data was created and deleted in the meantime between two snapshots. One would expect that it still might be possible to recover, because ZFS is CoW.

There are some solutions like photorec (which now has ZFS support), but it expects you can identify the file by footprint of its contents, which was not the case. Also many of these solutions would require ZFS to go offline for forensic analysis and that was also not possible because lots of other clients were using the same pool at the time.

So this had failed me and i really wished at the time that ZFS had continuous snapshots.

BTW on ZFS i use ZnapZend. It's second best thing after continuous snapshots:

https://www.znapzend.org/
https://github.com/oetiker/znapzend/

There are also some ZFS snapshotting daemons in Debian, but this is much more elegant and flexible.

But since znapzend is userspace daemon (as are all ZFS snapshoters) you need some kind of monitoring and warning mechanism for cases something goes wrong and it can't longer create snapshots (crashes, gets killed by OOM or something...). In NILFS2 every write/delete is snapshot, so you are basicaly guaranteed by kernel to have everything snapshoted without having to watch it.
I'm sure there's an academic word for it, but after some

Only the voice is AI right? Is the whole conversation flow generated by AI too? That'd be crazy.
There are no "helium wells". Helium is extracted as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. Meaning it comes up mixed with natural gas and if the production facilities have the right equipment can be separated from it.
It actually already exists. There's companies that train AI on a deceased loved one's messages and then have them send texts back. They act as if they're alive and well.

Exactly, the comma is what does it, it separates the sentence into three fragments and then the 'and' joins segments two and three.

If the comma had instead been the word "when", as suggested, this would parse the other way. It still would have been a bit awkward but would make sense.
Exactly! My comment is not a ding on the product, but amazement at what a couple engineers with the right mindset can achieve with existing tools in this day and age.
Fallacy doesn't require response, yet I have entertained them as much as I have ignored them, such as this straw man. The other comments mentioned in my GP were ad hominem, though they didn't have to be phrased in a way that made them so, but instead asserted against my argument and cited rather than focusing on what I should do. One must speak to the argument, not to the man, "your facts are in error and your argument flawed because x, y, z," rather than "you are wrong and don't know what you're talking about, and I know this because I am an expert." Fallacy is not too difficult to avoid, but also easy enough to be trapped by,

I frequently prototype models on my Android tablet when on flights. You can install Jupyter on almost anything and even low end notebooks have the processing power to train useful (albeit small) models.

Google Collab and PaperSpace have free tiers and for only $10/month you can get access to GPU's on PaperSpace with the capacity to train fairly decently sized models.

There is a wealth of intro material (this one is pretty good https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-machine-learni...) to get you started.

Even with the largest models that are not feasible for individuals to train (Large Language Models for example, that are so expensive even most companies can't afford to build them) there are refinement techniques that let you take existing models and train them for specific tasks. That kind of training can run on most higher end consumer grade GPU's.

I'll admit I am bit biased since I have worked in the field of AI for 20 years now, but I really don't see anything limiting even a mildly committed individual from getting into this area, even if only as a hobby.

These threads show a phenomenon I've noticed a lot lately. That many smart people suddenly flout HN guidelines[1] on a topic when they agree with the mainstream view. Rather than use their purported expertise to substantively refute the misconceptions, they give content-free remarks that amount to no more than "the bandwagon doesn't believe this, therefore you should feel low-status for believing it, therefore you are wrong".

This topic seems to make intellectually-uncurious status seekers out of otherwise hacker-mentality people.

I wonder how much more effective this would be if the prompt wasn't "this was generated by AI." It would be really interesting if someone with a popular podcast injected an AI conversation into their feed and didn't tell their audience for a couple weeks. A real life Turing Test.

There was another fun example of how you can’t rely on supposed experts when a University of Nebraska professor Ana-Rhodes Short embarrassed herself by weighing in on the poker cheating controversy. She created a whole game tree assuming that the player who claims that he got cheated could only have one possible hand instead of a range of hands and also somehow thought that running it twice would change the odds. She also claimed that she used it as a lesson for her unfortunate students. Then she got extremely defensive, blaming toxic men, etc. when poker players pointed out her errors. (For the record I’m leaning towards no cheating and extremely poor handling of the case by the player who claims he got cheated).

I’ve stopped drinking for periods in my life before. (I was a moderate drinker at 7-14 drinks per week.) What I’ve found is that for me, it’s primarily just a habit that needs to be broken. That’s the main reason for the regularity of my drinking. During the first week or two I continue to crave a drink, but after a long enough period the cravings stop. During my longest stretch I had my favorite beer after about six months and was surprised at how lackluster it tasted.
"Lisp is a syntactically extensible language, meaning that it is quite easy, using macros, to create arbitrary language extensions, so long as they obey two basic rules: (1) A new statement must look like (op ...), where "..." has balanced parentheses; (2) the lexical conventions inside the new statement must be Lisp's (e.g., more characters (including '*', '+', and such) are ordinary symbol constituents, in contrast to their role in other languages, so adjacent symbols must be separated by whitespace; double quote starts a string; single quote, sharpsign, and a few other characters have special meanings). If you're used to Lisp, these rules are barely noticeable, so that Lisp hackers come to think of it as having the most flexible syntax in the world."

I'm tired of reading about lisp, but I always do it. This gem is the sort of thing I'm after: an explanation of why (specifically) some folks just can't seem to give it up. I admit I still find the language incomprehensible. But at least I understand why others don't. It's a start.
tldr; switch your drink to soda and citrus.

Regarding "hating yourself when you fail" -- a growth mindset helps with this kind of negative thought pattern, generally. You are making incremental, iterative progress not flipping a binary switch.

One thing that was a big help, in my experience, was noticing that I liked carbonization and conversation, not ethanol. I switched to soda and citrus. I've also heard good things about CBD beverages if your jurisdiction allows.

As part of the alcopop generation I’d always been a pretty enthusiastic drinker. It was never a _problem_ for me, it never got in the way of family or work life (apart from semi regular hangovers), but I did like a drink, and I wasn’t averse to an all-day’er.

4 years ago, I was having a pretty boozy run up to Christmas one year. Out pretty much every night in December with different groups and sub-groups of friends, different events and whatnot. Some night might just be a couple of steady pints, some might be a full on sesh.

In the break between Xmas and nee year my GF and I decided we needed a break. She’d read about a book “This Naked Mind” which she understood to “help you take control of your drinking”.

As January rolled round with the festive season behind us we both read that book. You’re supposed to take your time reading it, over the course of a couple of weeks. We started drinking alcohol free beer tad a stop gap.

For me, the format of that book worked perfectly and I’m coming up on 4 years sober in January.

I still drink plenty of AF. There’s some really tasty ones on the market these days. I reckon I get about 80% the enjoyment from drinking alcohol free. It fulfils that desire to drink.

I’ll happily go to the pub and have a few AF while those around me drink, and then when the conversation takes a dip as the evening wares on, I say my goodbyes and leave them to it. The next morning I’m never not happy that I’ve got a clear head.

Good luck! I hope you find something that works for you.

> but perhaps the US is a violent society

Perhaps it is a violent society because of a deeply-ingrained fear of violence. Frightened people are more likely to assume a situation is threatening, and respond with violence. And imprisonment is a form of violence; nobody voluntarily takes themselves off to prison on judge's orders. The more likely you are to be imprisoned, the more likely you will risk a shoot-out with cops.

There seem to be a lot of people in the USA that take a strongly retributive attitude to justice: e.g. "Close the prisons, criminals should just be shot like mad dogs".

The purpose of a criminal justice system is to protect the public by enforcing the law, not to embody some moral posturing about the fruits of wickedness.

This is mostly why Ecmascript introduced lexical scoping (a bit similar to "block" scoping) with "let" back int ES 5 I believe, because var used the function scope and developers would run into issues whenever they did this:

for (var i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i ++ ){
someElement.addEventListener('click',function(){
console.log(i);
})
}

i would always be equal to 9. With let instead of var, i is properly scoped and the executed script display each increment correctly.

The solution before let was to introduce a closure in the for statement body

for (var i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i ++ ){
(function(i){
someElement.addEventListener('click',function(){
console.log(i);
}))(i)
}

in order to capture i value. let can also easily isolate the scope of a variable so that it doesn't popule the global scope

{
let foo = "bar";
var baz = "qix";
}

// foo is undefined here, while baz is defined.

which removes the need for self invoking functions.
Fantastic marketing execution. Most surprising was the gravitation of the conversation. I'm really curious about the script behind the voices. Was it written by a person or ai as well?
Well, you can subclass it, but you would have to convert regular array to your subtype every type you would want to use some extra property. With proposed way, you can still enjoy the terseness of the language.
I always thought we could also improve air travel by running it more like a train.

For popular routes just permanently schedule a flight say every two hours on the hour. No advanced purchase required.

We could build parking garages many stories high or underground so people can park reasonably close. Expensive but way cheaper than high speed rail.

Or what if we have secondary airports for commuter routes and leave the major airports for travellors.

> Why have I never heard of this?

My hunch is because of some combo of

a) The attention economy. We're all overwhelmed. Filtering signal from noise is exhausting.

b) Manufacturing Consent's five filters of mass media. The economics of daily "news" determines what is covered. Yet another attention economy; and it's not clear to me that any other arrangement would be better.

c) Professional courtesy. Billionaire media moguls generally aren't going to narc on their billionaire hedge fund buddies.

Awful, but a lot less awful than canceling the offers after the moves.

I don't think this kind of thing is going to change anytime soon as long as corporate America works the way it does today.

- Budget cuts, layoffs, hiring freezes, etc. are always going to be held closely by the C-level / senior execs. For reasons good and bad ("we don't want to kill morale until we have to," "what if we did X, Y, or Z instead?" "if layoffs leak, the wrong people will start looking for new jobs...") that information isn't distributed until last-minute or you see the effects but don't know why.

- The other folks are busy trying to hire and get people in the door before the door slams shut. They don't know the CFO is going to say "no more hiring, withdraw offers" until it happens.

- Given the size of these organizations someone is always three weeks out from starting a job unless there's already a freeze in place.

If companies weren't obligated to try to make profits at all costs rather than having a longer-term view of the world -- if they didn't have to worry about getting sued for doing the humane thing instead of the profitable one -- then more companies might be willing to honor those offers and eat profits a few quarters in order to do right by their employees.

Perhaps we can leverage "inotify" API to make ZFS snapshot everytime some file had been changed... But i think ZFS is not really good at handling huge amounts of snapshots. The NILFS2 snapshots are probably more lightweight when compared to ZFS ones.

> a lot of people are skeptical of climate change and reject the scientific consensus

That's because science doesn't work by "consensus". It works by building models that make accurate predictions. The models climate scientists currently have don't make accurate predictions. So people who are skeptical of the "consensus" are right to be skeptical (though that in itself doesn't necessarily mean they are skeptical for the right reason--see below).

> You can't challenge the consensus without becoming an expert on the matter yourself.

That's way too strong. You don't need to become an expert in the sense of being able to build your own models. You just need to have enough knowledge to be able to judge whether the models scientists have make accurate predictions. That's a much easier job.

I think you are right, though, that many people who are skeptical of various scientific claims aren't skeptical on the basis of what I said above, but for other, invalid reasons.
Er… it makes no difference?

This sounds like if you spliced together tape of Rogan and Jobs with scotch tape. An interesting concept but I never felt like I was listening to a conversation between two people. Jobs sounds weirdly far away, he also was never a "fast talker". Listen to his interview at MIT where he takes questions. He always stopped for long pauses, stares off into space for a minute. He didn't rush into responses and tended to nail timing really well.

Rogan sounds more believable but I suspect you'd get the same results sitting down at Audacity and cutting together an MP3. You just have better quality samples of him talking to people in a podcast setting.

It's an interesting demo but I'm not sure why I would want this to exist. It seems like technology which you could only abuse, either through the generation of podcast spam or through the production of fake audio. Podcasts are legion and are already cheap to make and based on open standards.
