>My problem with category theory (my limited study of it, several years ago) was that it describes and defines a list of properties, but those properties don't combine to reveal any unexpected, exciting results.

IMO, the main value of category theory is unifying existing math knowledge in one theory. I.e. it helps you see connections between seemingly unrelated areas of math. I.e. in some sense it's a pure abstraction.
This data is cool, but I can't help but ask. Does a more data-driven teaching style actually help or does it harm? If there's any teachers or previous teachers out there, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Quite interesting to see the differences of this monster being used vs. Google Forms using emojis. I would guess there's an age gap of who may use the monster and who may relate more to emojis.
Things will change.

For the past 20 years there's been a massive influx of people into IT.

Which means that we're starting to reach a point where there are ALREADY a lot of people in IT.

Those people will start becoming older and older.

It's a slow phenomenon, but I expect that by 2040 or so the average age of the IT worker to have gone up by at least 10, but more likely by 15 years.

So no more this "28 year olds are the majority", but more "40 year olds are the majority".
The question then is, how do select the people. In VCs, like you said, you'd look for a great team. What does that mean? It means mostly one thing: track record. This is what I meant by status. It's not your title. In academia, very similarly to tech, some people are rising stars, and they can get funding for anything they like. I'm just saying, consider the project and not just the person.
I think I agree with this. The "great minds" will always (or let's say often enough) be driven by intrinsic motivations. So the goal should probably be to give them "good enough" environments so that they can concentrate on what they deem interesting instead of struggling to "survive".

It's of course a bit tricky because sometimes it would be nice to have an accelerator or Google compute power at the ready and sometimes you can do excellent work as long as you have a roof over your head and are well fed and have a piece of paper and a pen :D

It's a complex problem, especially with competiton from other acedemic institutions and industry. I feel like the current system is ok-ish but many things are horribly wrong. I still feel like by and large good academic minds will end up in positions where they have a good environment to do what they want but the cost for this is that there's a lot of cruft and mediocre stuff that'll end up in essentially the same or better environments.
I wonder if there are any that can be used as a general chatbot way easily.

Well that's silly, the userspace you are talking about is strictly useless on phones. Every single attempt at building a reasonable mobile userspace for GNU/Linux has been a complete failure. What would that even look like? Almost all graphical GNU/Linux tools depend on X11, which is completely unsuited for phones.

But if you want, you can totally install all the GNU userspace tools on Android. Nothing is stopping you from doing that.
> If a player only has one move available, that move will always be the top engine move, which loses the game.

It's interesting that this brings another degree of indirection to victory conditions.

If you never played chess before, you'd assume the goal is to take the opponent's king. But as we know, making a move that would allow your opponent to take the king is forbidden, so the goal of normal chess is force your opponent into a position where you could take the king next turn (checkmate).

This variant takes this another step further: Now any move which could result in checkmate (or check with only one exit) is forbidden, and the goal is to force the opponent in a position where any next move would result in checkmate or check.

I personally don't visit thousands of hosts I've never seen before on a reasonably short timescale. I do visit some hosts/websites very often. Wouldn't SSH be ideal for those? See it like this: I connect to yc for the first time, hope I don't get MITM'd or have some web-thingy to verify manually, and after that, voila, forever good encryption and verification. This way I don't have to trust some random CA from a long list of CA's I know nothing about.

And even for every new site you visit, sure, you must hope you don't get MITM'd. Is that worse than hoping the random CA the site uses isn't compromised and a hacker uses that to MITM you? How does it compare to risk of the site being hacked already?

My point is, alternatives exist, good ones, but website security feels like a business that's captured by a bunch of CA's and browser manufacturers that don't want change for selfish reasons.
I'd be shocked if this doesn't just mirror the general population.

That makes it worse.

I wonder if the economic situation affects burnout. Managers push more to keep their jobs and protect their team. Individual team members push more of themselves to be seen as more productive. You only get productivity pushing yourself to a point .. after that is the redline zone and burnout.

This fear effect is compounded as you hear stories of bullweather employers doing hiring freezes (aka. AWS). I think we have a problem right now in tech .. too many people have been laid off to be absorbed in the same high-tech jobs. People will need to trade downwards, go to grad school, whatever. Not sure if I am missing some bright streaks of light in the cloud.

Okay, eventually it must...depending on the form. In it's current implementation being sold, it won't work. Lending to generate income relies on a mature legal system to back up contractual demands. Crypto itself (an algorithm) cannot guarantee repayment of loans.

"Exchanges" try to bridge this gap and counterparty risk isn't properly priced in. If anything, the high interest payments aren't high enough to represent risk.

I am a fan of pushing people to use services that respect their privacy (aka not google), but that only helps if the underlying infrastructure is secure. If we have malware vendors operating root CAs, that is a significant problem that deserves to be discussed without devolving into generic google bashing.

It is not "presenting itself" nor does it have an identity. I think most of your problems arise from ascribing too much agency to the model (or dataset).

I've had a pretty successful research career, but it's very rare I've had a project that actually delivered what I said it would on the funding proposal. Something more exciting has always come along while we were working on the original topic, and I've always gone with it. We've ended up significantly delivering better research than the original project would have.

And in 30 years, no project officer from a funding agency has ever complained that we'd delivered really good results but they weren't the results we'd promised. They're generally happy something good came out of the funding, because frankly, most funded projects don't produce much of value. Very occasionally (mostly on EU projects) we've had to write up the results in a project report with the original section titles that no longer match the new content to tick some boxes and keep the funder beancounters happy.
The place I currently work at and feel almost at the edge with regards to burnout has been automating everything for a year without any business value being delivered, because we don't have a product but we're building the "best" infrastructure. This is quite frankly a naive view that manual == burnout and automated != burnout.

Being pretty much a 100% Chrome user, I've yet to click "Allow" when a site wanted to notify/spam/inundate me with shit from sub-companies or worse yet proxy spam me from paying 3rd parties because "well, you did opt in sir". The opt in popup box might as well read: "Are you an idiot? YES|MAYBE".

Not one time have I allowed it ever in all these years and I'm shocked anyone else allows it at all too. Not having considered it before but I'm really surprised this tech is on by default or even exists at all. It may have some neat IOT use cases but IOT has about a billion other notification options for machine/machine communications that are better. Thats the best I can do in terms of trying to argue theres a good aspect of the functionality.

But what about Gmail you say? Well, I personally don't use the web interface anyhow opting instead for a nice/superior experience from a local client but IIRC the tab starts blinking when theres new mail and the number in the title bar changes.

Even LinkedIn and its simple blue dot on the title of the tab is sufficient for me to know theres new activity there if I want to bother looking (ooooh loooook - a guy I know knows a guy that posted a virtue signaling meme regarding a supposedly socially relevant topic that companies pretend to be concerned about - I MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY!).

Now, on to changing browser and OS notifications on all 4 home systems to my preferences this morning. I didn't realize how much the hubris of bugging me with stupid crap annoyed me until this prompted me to consider it. Thanks OP!
When I was at Google in the bay area almost a decade ago and, unless my memory is heavily exaggerating, the executives of our org were in an offsite every three weeks for at least a year working on 'strategy'. It became a meme at the time among us lower ranks and I was amazed at the excess. There was no noticeable output from all those offsites and as an org we failed to execute on anything successful. I have had a low opinion of offsites ever since and have wondered if other people thought so as well or it was just me being cynical.
Not the person you're responding to, but here's one example: https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/03/1087542. tl;dr: closing schools causes children in South Asia to not be treated for malnutrition and immunizations and have increased teen pregnancies with inadequate medical attention. Estimated 230,000 excess deaths. Read the PDF report for more details.
I think the issue here is what you’re defining as automation. I worked at a managed services provider automating any task that could be automated for over a decade, there will always be more work than can be automated. It just changes too fast for that not to be true, especially when dealing with thousands of different line of business applications and edge cases which are constantly updating.
The title "Human Chess is a chess variant where playing the top engine move is forbidden" kinda suggests that the top move just isn't available to the player.

However, the thought you had, and similar ones, are very much the intentional side-effect of the rules. The only way to win the game, as stated, is forcing your opponent to make the top engine move. Or, of course, correctly claim that your opponent made such a move (even though it wasn't forced). Or, having your opponent make the incorrect claim about your move.

So, it isn't necessarily "playing good chess". Though, I must say, I'm not qualified to have any good idea of what it would mean to be good at this game. It definitely helps to be good at chess, and have a good command of what are the correct engine moves. Especially since you lose if you incorrectly claim a position and opponent move was "the top engine line".

I suppose most would reduce this to leaving the opponent to only one legal move. In which case, the problem is is trivial. But, after move 2? You need to know most opening lines, and probably play intentionally bad in many situations.

Hm, this is cooler the more I think about it.

Imagine intentionally setting up material sacrifice with a resulting choice of multiple moves for the opponent to capitalize. If you can correctly evaluate the best computer move, you have a strong advantage. If it is not obvious, then the opponent might not dare to gamble the challenge.

Has Hikaru tried this in one of his streams? I'm certain he would have a blast.

The only thing about this that doesn't "spark joy" are the ambiguous practical implementations.

- Which engine? This matters a lot.

- How do you define the computational cut-off? CPU-minutes? Move depth? Etc. Not necessarily a simple problem.

- The rule "When multiple moves have the top score, they are all top moves". Needs a specific score evaluation delta for grouping "top moves".

All of these could rather simply be resolved if it isn't very important... might even add some uncertainty to it, for fun. Like, say: 1. Stockfish 15. 2. Allow the computer whatever resources it has available, 1 minute, and play some drum roll sample. 3. Pawn-evlauation of 0.05.

I work at Amazon and have been subjected to two versions of those periods (because I switched teams): one was every year around Black Friday and Christmas, and the other one was when a new big show releases on PrimeVideo (like LOTR).

Those periods are the total opposite of quiet.

You still have to work on normal deliverables, except you can't push them on your pipelines (not even beta) and on top of that you have to either support last minute critical demands for ad-hoc work, and then you have to work around the extremely strict deployment windows to actually release that ad-hoc crap to prod.

I have started deployments at 9AM and finished at 11PM routinely during those times because there's a single day where the pipelines are open and you have to complete your deployment before the next day.

Elon Musk has no principles? I find it strange how you could come to such a conclusion. These issues he engages in nowadays are exactly in line with what he cared about many years ago. For instance, around 2016 he shared his thoughts on building a tool to measure the credibility of journalists, which he wanted to call Pravda. What is his purchase of Twitter if not the culmination of this idea, rooted in the very same principle?

I repeated your experiment and do not see the news box. I see those articles if I select the News tab. Otherwise the results match my findings. I'm willing to concede that those articles can show up to certain users, however they are definitely not the first results, which is important to note.

I am certainly less informed than yourself about the Australian lexicon. I was wrong to jump to the most widely recognized example and should have picked a different one which matched my point more closely, and one on which I was more informed.

My point was not that "cunt" is acceptable in businesses meetings, my point was that it was comparatively _more acceptable in common parlance_ than in other cultures. The message being that the words themselves are not innately offensive, but the meanings attached to them that can vary with time and context, and their impact can be lessened by repeat exposure in a non-offensive setting. I believe that is preferable to outright banning certain phonemes and maintaining their offensive power.

You can see this in action in our Google example - the image editor has the top results and the offensive term is in the newsbox (which we've proved is not universal), and lower down on the search page. The more popular the editor gets, the less prominent the other results are. I think that's a good thing.

I don't like that argument at all. I can just as easily day if you don't like it, buy an android and use F-droid, but I won't because it's a lazy argument.

A freedom of choice has to be a freedom to choose. As I said farther you the thread, this immediately becomes an "and" rather than an "or".

"I can install this app via my preferred storefront" is a fine choice - but "I have to use all of the services that every third party wants to bundle in to use their specific service" isn't a choice, it's forced upon you and is no better than the situation we have now. We've seen this on android - try and install the Google camera app on a Huawei device and let me know how that goes for you, or use the Samsung app store on your Google device.
