So the best part of backwards prop is that you need very little memory to complete the training which matters on GBs of data. FF seems to allow for more parallel computing but you will need to keep at least one more set of coefficients more in storage to deal with scheduling conflicts? Definitely merits more work.

Beyond noise to function: reframing global brain activity's dynamic topography
Out of curiosity, your comment made me fire up the C64 and 1541 I keep as a conversation starter in my office. It still loads the, uh, evaluation copy of Defender of the Crown which 1988 me copied onto a 3M DS,DD floppy in February of that year, if the scrawny handwriting on the label is to be believed.

(I boot it a few times a year, mostly to show younger colleagues that whining about how terribly dated the PS4 is now that the PS5 is (somewhat) available won't get them much sympathy from someone who played games on the C64 in the mid-eighties...)

So, at least one data point for a carelessly stored floppy from a name brand still doing what it is expected to more than a third of a century later!

Fair point, which could also apply to structs in general.
By concept, they mean concept art. There is no technical information to back this up. The technology to do such things as using a" delicate layer of engineered enzymes, [to] recycle waste products" is pretty far away.

To add another point to the above post, the lab in question a year ago made the following statement regarding fusion. The hype circle continues...

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/17/lawrence-livermore-lab-makes...

Excerpt copied for emphasis:

Hurricane, however, is more cautious about seeing fusion as an answer to a need for clean energy.

“While our team is very excited about this result, because it is a hard won science/engineering achievement, I don’t see it as being useful for a clean energy source. The learning from our result may, however, be relevant,” Hurricane tells CNBC.

“I am very concerned, in general, about fusion being hyped as a solution for climate change,” he says. “My personal opinion is that fusion energy is still a future technology, so it would be foolish for people bet the planet on fusion addressing the immediate climate concerns.”

Also noteworthy, research at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory National Ignition Facility is part of the Stockpile Stewardship Program, a government effort born in 1995 to study aging nuclear weapons without nuclear testing.

“One of the original visions for the NIF was for it to be a substitute for underground nuclear testing, keeping weapons scientists tethered to the reality of experiment so that the Nation can depend upon their skills, knowledge, and most importantly judgement,” said Hurricane. “This new result helps support that vision.”
This seems quite elegant and easy. Obviously in addition to other measures, but I like it.
But is that actually invented, i.e. does it work? It reminds me of the Korea segment of "Cloud Atlas", but that's sci-fi. My understanding is that "artificial womb" is nowhere near a solved problem, scientifically.

I find the fan reactions to his tweets impossible to read.

He's at about the right age for a midlife crisis which can cause somebody to act pretty bent even if otherwise their mental health is pretty good.

He's also fading out of the news cycle. Sam Bankman-Fried is an "evil CEO" on an entirely different level than Musk.

I think Musk is going to notice that he hasn't been on the cover of Bloomberg Businessweek for a few weeks and try to do something to get attention but he might find it hard. Those "Twitter Files" might have been exciting to subscribers to the Bari Weiss Substack but are boring to most people.
There's an awful lot here about renewable energy, AI, screens and phone apps but virtually nothing about how this could possibly work from a biological or even practical perspective.
I would argue that ChatGPT has opinions, and these opinions are based on it's training data. I don't think GPT has the type of reasoning skills needed to detect and resolve conflicts in its inputs, but it does hold opinions. It's a bit hard to tell because it can easily be swayed by a changing prompt, but it has opinions, it just doesn't hold strong ones.

The only thing stopping GPT from ingesting new information and forming opinions about it is that it is not being trained on new information (such as its own interactions).

I love project farm. That’s good to know, I’ll have to look that one up.

This makes sense too, considering the type of glue will be chemically very similar across brands. If the bonds are stronger than wood, then the only qualities worth comparing would be unrelated to strength.

I suppose set time, ease of storage, ease of application, etc will remain almost identical across brands as well. But maybe not?

I’ll have to watch that project farm. He’s a knowledgeable guy so I imagine I’ll come away from it a little better educated.
Yea I think the problem is not the inability to produce babies, but rather the high cost required to raise them in stable households (education, healthcare, opportunities).
I expect real efforts in this space to focus on livestock first.

Ahh, adding snow effects to your websites with JS, the reason Javascript was actually invented in the first place, along with showing current time alongside your cursor ;).
Actually 5.25" were usually 360 KB, the 1.2MB came later, just like 3.5" floppies, they were originally 360 Kb, then 720KB, only later they became 1.44MB:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk#Sizes,_performance...

Though it all happened in a few years, when the 3.5 came out most if not all the 5.25 were already 1.2MB, and the first 3.5 were advertised for their robustness, not for their capacity (which was initially inferior).
I think that people are waiting to see the real announcement not the scoop with limited details. Let's see what the Granthom announces tomorrow. Tough to be excited about scoops with limited information and without the level of robustness of the accomplishment.

> isn’t ‘holding a representation of a fact or relation’ basically what we call ‘knowing’ something?

No. Knowledge is fundamentally and inextricably tied to our experience of reality. The billions of years of evolution that created our perceptual framework has created a bridge to understanding reality machines don’t have.

I’d argue a chicken brain has a far better greater amount of true knowledge than any of these language models.

That does not diminish the utility and sophistication of these language models. But they are not knowledge. They are a disconnected meta map of what we have written down.

We calibrate these language models to knowledge because our language usually corresponds to things we know.

If the internet was mostly populated with sentences like “a druid flew into houston, cats pool into mud vampires wealth umpire onion buy now saxophone”, a language model mapping it all would be useless.
I often upvote things that I don't have time to say anything about, not that I've upvoted this, but there can be lots of reasons to upvote something and not comment on it.
It is essentially the same in France. Pet clauses are generally invalid, and the tenant is responsible for whatever damage or disturbance the animal may cause.
It is certainly high cost for the woman to produce a baby. I would not want to put my body through what my wife put hers through.
While I appreciate all the effort in nuclear fusion and do think we should continue to invest a little of each years global R&D budget, it seems these reactors (e.g ITER and this one) still require tritium which is rather hard to come by efficiently.

Which means normal nuclear reactors will be needed to make it and minimising any economic viability of the dependent fusion rector for a long long time.

I wonder what the status of limitation is in this case. The clock will run out eventually so they are definitely under pressure to build the case.
I get the code is data thing, but not sure on the data is code thing unless you have a odd definition of code
Edit, to clarify: i refer here to 3D printed boat props, not for copters.

I'm considering this as well. I have an electrical outboard engine on my 24". 600W is way less stressing on the material than even small combustion engines.

I'll maybe try a 3D printed one next year. According to thingiverse, folks already successfully use printed props and the sharrow-design is there, as well, just need to adapt the mount and make sure the printer is up to it (i.e. convert from PLA to ABS, may have to get a new nozzle)

I think you could generalize much further and just say this is what happens to companies that don’t understand the basic principle of CAC to LTV ratio. If it’s negative, when the funny money stops, it’s gonna be a rough ride.
It's not even a solution for the problem. Making the baby is super easy, being pregnant is relatively easy compared to raising the kid, having the kid is pretty difficult for a day or two then you've got a few weeks of recovery.
The hard part comes in the following 5-10 years.
>"It sounds like making the solution even worse than the problem."

But then government gets to bend babies any way they like. I hope baby farms will never come to existence.
Or at least focus on rich people designer babies with bespoke traits first

The most shocking part of this story is the number of former US officials who are now working for Binance to try to protect them from prosecution. While this might be technically legal and part of what goes on in Washington, it's a sign of severe moral decay amongst our government and is a striking example of normalized corruption

> [Zhao] instigated a recruitment spree last year that led to the hiring of officials from the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation division, the U.S. government agency that was investigating Binance

> [...] A recruitment program by Binance among law enforcement officials in the United States, offering salaries that far exceeded what was available at many other finance and crypto firms, according to four people familiar with the outreach

> Binance has hired a former chief of MLARS [Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section], Kendall Day, a partner at Gibson Dunn, to engage in discussions with the Justice Department.

> [Binance] hired at least five ex-officials from the IRS Criminal Investigation's Cyber Crime Unit, including a new global head of investigations called Tigran Gambaryan

> Faced with the Justice Department investigation, Binance hired an external lawyer from U.S. law firm Paul Weiss, Roberto Gonzalez, who was previously Treasury's deputy general counsel.

I enjoyed the Le Guin quote... until I searched for its source and found her even better blog post where she demolishes it, 'The Inner Child and the Nude Politician' [0]. Every once in awhile I'm reminded that she blogged and that I owe it to myself to read her.

Yeah, 'highly useful' enough for the authorities and for everyone to see all the transactions on a public ledger to track down who paid for what and to identify anyone who attempts to convert the BTC to fiat as soon as it hits the exchange.

Totally useful for criminals and hackers. /s Especially when they are getting caught all the time by the authorities when they use Bitcoin.
Probably VC-bait.
Oh, interesting! Thanks for sharing your experience.

YMMV, but something I discovered is that light colors bother me when they're out of sync with my day-night rhythms. So mine start very warm in color, very gradually shift to pretty cool color temperatures as we approach noon, and then get warmer again into the evening.

My theory is that this gets me what the SAD lights are simulating without any manual effort, and it seems to be working. It also helps me with maintaining a regular sleep schedule in that it turns out I'm not a responsible light-switch user; it's easy for me to leave lights on and be active so late that I then have trouble getting up on time.

That's interesting! I have a thinkpad t420 that's very likely similkar age to yours, and also ran into the issue you described....but my issue manifested while running Linux Mint 19.something....At which point i had been fed up with Mint (for other reasons, so this was the final straw)...so tried - an loved! - Lubuntu. That machine runs beautifully on Lubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (since when this version came out in 2020). In fact, after moving away from Mint - and gotten other machines - i was going to convert this old thinkpad into a terminal-only sort of server (you know, headless, baby)...But Lubuntu - well specifically LXQT - runs so damn fast and smooth on it, that i kept the desktop environment! I've since added another 8GB, so this machine rockets all things i throw at it with its 16GB...and i credit Lubuntu, specifically LXQT for that blazing speed and rock solid stability (yes, yes, i know the stability is ubuntu, and yes, yes debian all underneath)...My point being: as nice as KDE, Gnome, etc. might be, and as low resource hungry as DEs like XFCE, folks should not dismiss LXQT. It might be closer to feature set to XFCE, but wow, does it run lightweight, fast, and solid!
Sleep apnea is a big cause of people not dreaming. They're not consistently getting into deep sleep cycles due to the constant breathing interruptions is how I had it explained to me.
The fact that we don't understand it now does not imply that it can't ever be understood.

A black box is something we don't have access to its inner workings. We can probe and inquire the working brain. It's just really hard and we've been working at it for a few decades only (dissecting a dead brain before powerful microscopes gives you very little insight).

Unless you share the Zen-like opinion that a brain can't understand itself, which I don't, and seems like an issue of faith as well and a dead end.

If you told me that you were making use of templates I would have belived it.

By the way, the C projects I used to work on 20 years ago, took an hour to compile, and it wasn't worse thanks to ClearMake sharing of object files.

In any case, even if templates make C++ slower to compile, I would rather have slower builds than more opportunities to keep security researchers busy.

The out-of-the-box performance on the pi4 is a drag, OpenGL support has been silently crippled in many repo applications for compatibility reasons, and overclocking the sdcard is more limited than the pi2/pi3 (primary bottleneck). You may have to brute force the marco GPU flags to figure out which features are implemented, don't break video codecs, and don't conflict with kernel settings (v4l driver).

There are a dozen reasons things may be glitched, but usually it is the lack of active cooling causing the pi4 to thermal throttle. Also, mate-tweak tool can save time digging for settings.

Also, if it is the Ubuntu distro rather than Raspbian, than there is a lot of missing software to get things working well.

Best of luck =)

This becomes more complicated as QoL is subjective. For some people living in an urban environment, no matter how many resources are available, will always be a lower QoL than living in a rural area.
Haskell uses `otherwise`. Example use:

greater x y
| x > y = x
| otherwise = y

In Haskell's case, this is a conditional syntax that's alternative to if-then-else, so `else` was already taken. `otherwise` is just a conventional constant for `True` that's chosen for readability.
