I don't know LeCun personally, but there's a lot of backstory here that this polemical clickbait is leaving out.

- LeCun has a history of getting mobbed by "AI ethics" types on Twitter, and in the past he was very deferential to these folks, and even left Twitter for a while. I wrote about some of that here: https://www.jonstokes.com/p/googles-colosseum

- The MIT Tech Review, which is the author's main source here apart from Twitter, is techlash rag, and they went through a long phase where they only published anti-AI stuff from the "AI ethics" people. Most of those writers I used to follow there on this topic have since moved on to other pubs, and the EIC responsible for this mess has moved on to run WIRED. But it seems they're still publishing the same kind of stuff even with new staff and management. They have exactly one and only one editorial line on AI in general and LeCun in specific, and that is "lol AI so racist and overhyped!" It's boring and predictable.

- LeCun has a longstanding beef with Marcus, and the two treat each other pretty poorly in public. Marcus seems to have a personal axe to grind with LeCun. Given that Marcus has been leading the mob on this, it's not shocking that LeCun got crappy with him.

- Emily Bender, Grady Booch, and the other folks cited in the MIT Tech Review piece all, to a person, have exactly one line on AI, everywhere at all times and in all circumstances, and it's the same one I mentioned above. You could code a bot with a lookup table to write their tweets about literally anything AI-related.

- Yeah, LeCun is a prickly nerd who gets his back up when certain people with a history of attacking him come after him yet again. He should probably should stay chill.

- "AI so overhyped" is a pose, not an argument, an investment thesis, or a career plan. But hey, you do you.

Anyway, I hate to be defending anything Meta-related, but this article is slanted trash, its sources haters who have only one, incredibly repetitive thing to say about AI, and the author is a hater.

The pinout is wrong, is it not? As it is drawn, if you mate the two connectors, the wires won't match up. (You'll need to mentally rotate it: the hook on the back of the male connector slots into the rails on the front of the female connector to make them impossible to separate without destroying a nail.)

I think the female side is right, it's the male connector that's reversed.

> are about _the PKM_, rather than the knowledge captured

This is because engaging with information ("to note"...) is such a basic human activity. So, you have to abstract to a higher level if you wish to attract the "average" internet audience.

This is one of the reasons I suggested (bellow) it would be better to anchor note-taking discourses within established communities (students, business, academia...)

> much added 'ceremony' to note taking

Like every Human sub-culture/scene/community, note-taking/PKM/tft automatically creates its own customs and ceremonies. There is no escaping it. The fun thing is : because it is a basic activity (as I said earlier), those outside these circles will find it bizarre (the ceremony part) and banal (the basic part), both at the same time.

Bizarre + banal = WTF!

Right. my way of evaluting any system is to start with the easiest tasks. If the system doesn't get the easiest task right, I do not proceed to use its output for complex things.
If things get so bad then there is no point discussing how to maintain work conditions and those involved need to make a decision about leaving the area or wishing the dev good luck.

Currently, my understanding is that the main issue in most of Ukraine is blackouts, not a breakdown of order or active fighting. Hopefully it will not worsen.
Seems pretty clear now that SBF thinks he can talk his way out of this. Seems pretty... questionable at this point to still be trying to assert the asserts were "illiquid" and still no acknowledgement that FTX's deposits weren't ring-fenced (although clearly an effort to muddy the waters around the statement about bank accounts). He's still claiming "$8Bn collateral" when we all know that's tokens like FTT which he's marked to market at >$20 and are currently trading <$2, and represent the value of some perks at a bankrupt exchange thus probably meaning they're truly worth $0.

I suspect we will never get to the point where SBF admits "Stuff I made up and then assigned arbitrary value to doesn't really count as collateral". But we'll continually hear "Mistakes were made" as an attempt to avoid jail time.
This is true. But over the past century, the relative efficacy of conscript vs professional militaries has swung hard to the side of professional militaries. A mass of riflemen can’t compete on even terms with a combined arms force with tanks, artillery, aircraft, radars, satellites, and so on.
"Why Nations Fail" comes from the Jared Diamond school of "My Model Fits My Data So It's Causal". It's a series of just-so stories, which discounts outliers (ex: Singapore, India, China). They take the scientific method (find examples to disprove your hypothesis) and invert it (find examples that match your hypothesis), which does nothing except provide people with the feeling of confidence that they've finally come across the Truth.
As someone else mentioned, my movie and music subscriptions are about the highest value entertainment I consume. Most of that content is stuff I probably won't watch more than once or twice, but having fresh content is what I care most about.

I probably watch at least 2-4 movies a week and a few episodes of some TV show. Each movie on Blu-Ray would probably cost at least $10, probably at least a season a month of TV so maybe $30-40 for TV? In total at least $150/mo if I were to buy that content on physical media for just video media just for things I'll probably never care to watch again. But in the end I just have two $10/mo streaming subscriptions at a time and maybe rent a movie or two for $5/ea, so probably $25/mo on average. Extrapolate that out for a year and that's $1,800 for plastic discs I'll probably never use again versus $300 for streaming. Across 5 years that's $7,500 extra to have a bunch of physical media I'll probably never put back in a player.

Its even more insane to think about with music CDs. I probably listen to 20-30 new albums a month. If each of those were needing to buy physical CDs at $10/ea, that's $200+/mo. Instead, I pay Spotify $12/mo for two accounts between my wife and me.

I still buy the occasional album or movie on physical media and treasure it. If I were to limit myself to only physical media it would drastically change my listening and viewing habits though, to an absolutely massive effect. I wouldn't listen to nearly as much music and I wouldn't watch nearly as many movies. If the library near me closed, I'd probably also not read nearly as many books.
Win/Chrome, the clocks for both sides would be frozen if the bug happened then I had to press back, I often had to "redo" my move manually.
Depends how much more money melon plans to burn on Twitter and for how long.
Taping a banana to a wall? fire away. A building that is "unique" but fails at function? fire away. Literally any municipal or local government purcahsed art? It's probably shit.

Someone spent a lot of time doing something you can't do, paying attention to details, honing a skill, reflects years of practice and fine craftsmanship? It's probably "good" art.

That being said, people like to piss on other people's work because it's a lot "easier to criticize than create". There's a distinct change you simply don't appreciate how hard these things are either. Do you have the time/energy/dedication to do the thing your criticizing? Consider that first. Artists are a necessary part of society and sometimes they need an attaboy too.
Anecdotally, as someone who got a Master's in English and had to TA and tutor writing at a college level, it's the schools/universities. English departments are being defunded because Business degrees and Engineering degrees make the schools more money and are seen as more "valuable". So most people with a non-liberal arts degree from the states can barely write above a high school level. But it's good enough.
I'm dealing with a family member that has decided to become an artist in their retirement. They think they're going to be in a gallery, everyone else is like WTF is this trash. They're using cheap ballpoint pens and dollar store markers. It's basically pattern like scribbles and he's churning out 2-3 of these a day. I want to be supportive of them, they're just living on a different planet it seems when compared to so many actually talented artist.
Sounds like everyone here supports oligarchy.

The "golden screwdriver" is attributed to IBM mainframe techs from many years ago. Nothing new here except the drivetrain.
Those tactics could work. They would be a bit expensive however, and it would be a shame to have all users paying the performance penalty because of a few bad pieces of software. And, this would not have caught the two errors in the assembly language code within Chrome - that would require testing at every function call, not just Windows API calls.
It would be more practical (I think) to do this checking on a special build of Chrome that is shipped to a small percentage of users, so that not everybody pays the price.
But, this is an ecosystem problem and I'm not sure Chrome wants to shoulder the entire burden of finding bad software :-)
Windows "distros" like these are extremely shady. You're downloading gigabytes of unverifiable binaries and Microsoft will inevitably shut it down. Just use a basic Windows install and tweak it as little as possible, your life will be so much easier and you're not going to miss out on "performance tweaks" because they don't do shit in the first place.
Haven't they already done something along those lines where some options are per-owner and transferring the vehicle will remove the option?

Why does it have to be a crime to be morally wrong? It showed active opposition of Bernie Sanders directly from the DNC. And it showed collusion between Clinton and the DNC. As a Democrat, at the time it made me leave the party.
Eh?

You think George W Bush inherited the 'good at being president' genes from his father?

And how do you explain Hilary?

In my view what George W inherited was power and connections.

Countries were power is inherited, rather than earned aren't typically viewed as democracies.

Still. Imagine the following scenario: your son's machine is compromised because of said exploits. It's in the same network as your other systems. The attacker can now sniff all traffic, attack other systems. Do you have good network segmentation in place?

My thought exactly, and also why I don't just search 'latest news' on Google every morning. Human curation is a thing. (not sure how much human curation goes into ooh.directory, but I'm pretty sure they don't use Google's ranking algorithms to surface links)
https://masource.org/a-summary-of-ma-fees-for-sell-side-tran...

I was curious as well and most sources I found point to a similar structure above. Basically the more money they get, the bigger the fee, and then there is some sort of retainer to cover their costs.
I've definitely seen radiologists miss things (as a patient and a researcher) but I've also seen the behavior where if something is labeled or indicated the next person (or in this case the first person) might not give it a true 2nd look and could easily default to agreeing with the AI instead of actually checking things.
Overall I think this would be a net benefit as image analysis can help with a lot of these activities, just needs care to not inadvertently remove the humans you still need.
AspectJ was created by one of the authors and introduced some of CLOS ideas neatly into Java. Most of the time I find that closures are simpler than OOP to capture state and logic together…

That exact strategy is described in the second paragraph but the author argues (and I agree) that it is so arduous it will cause you to lose many users for questionable benefit.
Mobile wikipedia editors annoy me. They tend to make mis-spelled edits (it's hard to edit on a mobile, and predictive text also screws things up). And it seems to me that mobile editors tend not to bother with an edit summary.

Adding 1,500 characters to an article with no edit summary pisses me off. Especially if the additions are sprinkled all over the article. And especially especially, if the edit also involves removing material.

I often see edit summaries of the form "I added information". These often seem to be vandalism. I don't think any developer would add a commit with a message starting with "I ...". If I see such an edit summary, I usually take a closer look.
This sort of practice is soon to be disallowed in New Jersey, if I understand correctly:

This is why I find prototype-based object systems so much more natural. Inevitably any dynamic object system ends up having to represent classes as objects, but that retroactively opens up a lot of mind-bending complexity. Prototypes on the other hand make far more sense in a dynamic context. You just create objects that you can clone and extend. Classes just become a design pattern. It also highlights that the interfaces of an object are more important than the class.

Also, learning to use a crossbow is far easier than learning to use a hand bow. If firearms are to be magicked off the planet somehow these would be the replacement for those who do not care to train for months to years to learn how to use bows. A modern composite crossbow with a rifle stock and trigger is as easily learned as a rifle. What it lacks is the firing speed of a semi-automatic so they're not suitable for the type of shooting spree which reaches the news all too often but kill they will, if at a slower rate.
I found that I retain the most information when I write in LaTeX over md, txt, word, hand.

While the arguments of the article sound convincing enough, I found that the effort one spends on the notes is far more important than the medium.

In LaTeX my mode of operation shifts from informal and short to very academic as I transform the notes into documents.
You don’t seem to understand WHY they are leaving. This isn’t some moral solidarity thing that they are doing for PR reasons.
Specially since the first IDEs with such features were for Smalltalk and Lisp.

Mesa (XDE) and then Mesa/Cedar, have several references Xerox papers, on how those enviroments served as inspiration for their IDE like features, like REPL, typo corrections, debugging, code reloading,...
Java and Python don't use return codes, they use exceptions. If you ignore an exception your program crashes, same as a panic in Rust.
The real problem is the document quality. Most of time reading a low-quality document will waste plenty of time while talking or meeting is more efficient than reading a misleading document. The other problem is that is hard to keep the document ‘fresh’, and this will lead you in the wrong direction which is wasting time.
Right. New Jersey made news a week ago by drafting regulation against such nonsense.

I think SBF has realized that he’s going to get his 11 years.

What really disgusts me is after losing billions of dollars these crypto bros try to escape responsibility with a tweets worth of explanation. “Oh well nevermind”. No, those types of losses have a body count. He needs to be held accountable in a court of law.
Yay, it's on 4.0.2 now. Tag following can be used.
From https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&d...: ‘We chose the terms “class” and “objects” of classes for our new Simula. The notion of subclass was especially appealing to us, since we had seen many cases of objects belonging to different classes having common properties. It would be useful to collect the common properties in a separate class, say C to be specialised differently for different purposes, possibly in different programs.’

It is about classifying objects. You want to have a shared definition for objects that share a common set of properties. Those objects constitute a certain class of objects, defined by their commonality. To specify such a class of objects, you specify those shared properties. This is what classes do in programming languages, they provide a specification of a certain class of objects.

If you know that a given object belongs to a certain class, you then know that is has the properties specified by the class. For example, if you know that an object belongs to the class of String objects, then you know that it has a length property (or whatever).

“Class” is very similar to “type”, except that “type” is usually more general. But in languages where everything (every value) is a object, “class” and “type” can be virtually the same.

Recreating the adrenal gland in a petri dish
> Unless by using the CLOS you mean having to explicitly opt-in by using classes, multiple dispatch, multiple inheritance, generic functions, the MOP and all that weird stuff.

Yes, that's what I meant. The fact that the CL type system maps into the class system doesn't mean we all code OOP. If you want to argue semantics, sure..

SBCL will generate _very_ different code for fixnums vs general objects, so much so that claiming that (+ 1 2) is using CLOS makes no sense.
I bought a surface for that reason. I like the portability, and it is just a normal PC with a pretty bad keyboard.
I can attest to this and took all of my notes on paper in college. However, once I started a real job I realized that this strategy doesn't scale to all situations. In college, I needed to be able to recall all of the information I had ingested: it was low-write, high-read. In the workplace, there's much more information, but I'm unlikely to need most of it: it's high-write, low-read. I need to be able to reference the information, but not necessarily recall it. Taking paper notes became too much of a burden and I moved to a wiki of markdown notes.
The notion of value plus their clientele. Same reason they currently offer luxury features for so cheap. They could poach a lot of business by simply not adding these things.
sure you can get the underlying request, but if that’s the answer to everything that the framework author didn’t think of, that’s just an admission that the abstraction is wrong, which is kinda what I’m getting at. The entire conceptual model that views the Json<T> type as a handler argument type and then parsing the body based off of that is what Rocket does too. I think the entire strategy is conceptually incorrect. Axum may do Rocket better than Rocket, but if it’s using the same conceptual model, it seems like a lateral move. I’m looking for a new abstraction and conceptual model, not a better implementation of the same concepts or the same concepts with a larger pool of maintainers.
You’d defer password setting if you were doing this I would think.

> Watch the Laura Poitras movie "Risk"[1] if you want a really good feel for why Julian has every reason in the world to disrupt the possibility of a Hillary Clinton presidency.

It does not really matter. You cannot pretend to be all about freedom of speech and exposing government misbehaviour without taking sides and play these partisan games.

I was supportive of the whole Wikileaks thing before his role as a pawn for totalitarians became really visible.

The fact was that at that point disrupting the election meant acting for a Trump presidency, and I cannot see how any properly-calibrated moral compass would want that. The most charitable interpretation is that he was played and a useful idiot.

> I also believe that the espionage crimes that Julian is charged with are 100% horseshit, and going after journalists like that sets an incredibly bad precedent coming from a nation that purports to be a world leader in press freedoms.

Yes. It also does not make Assange any less of an arsehole. Your enemy being immoral does not give you the moral high ground.
