Perhaps the more ideological wouldn't enjoy the Soviet union but they approve of and use their methods.

The current focus on purity of thought is remarkably like the communist struggle sessions, how they tortured people to correct their thinking not just to achieve a confession, how there was always room for more ideology and more purges as the party continually turned on its heroes.

Here's an example. At ~25s the officer talks about people who want to help (lower-case social justice) being faded out by people who know nothing of the situation and are just using it for political clout. He's black and trying to discuss the protests with black protestors and they're being interrupted by white protest leaders (upper-case social justice) who need to stoke conflict to remain in power.

Not sure why you're yelling at exabrial. I don't read either the topic or his comment as being particularly divisive.
"Do the models do any actual reasoning" is the difference between your ML blackbox having a child's level of understanding of things where it just repeats what it's been trained on and just "monkey see monkey do" it's way to an output, or whether it's actually mixing previous input and predicting and modeling and producing an output.

There's a bunch of famous research that shows a baby and toddlers have basic understanding of physics. If you give a crawling baby a small cliff but make a bridge out of glass, the baby will refuse to cross it, because it's limited understanding prevents it from knowing that the glass is safe to crawl on and it won't fall.

In contrast older humans, even those with a fear of heights, are able to recognize that properly strong glass bridges are perfectly safe, and they won't fall through them just because they can see through them.

What changes when you go from one to the next? Is it just more data fed into the feedback machine, or does the brain build entirely new circuits and pathways and systems to process this more complicated modeling of the world and info it gets?

Everything about machine learning just assumes it's the first, with no actual science to support it, and further claims that neural nets with back-propagation are fully able to model that system, even though we have no idea how the brain corrects errors in it's modeling and a single neuron is WAY more powerful than a small section of a neural network.

These are literally the same mistakes made all the time in the AI field. The field of AI made all these same claims of human levels of intelligence back when the hot new thing was "expert systems" where the plan was, surely if you make enough if/else statements, you can model a human level intelligence. When that proved dumb, we got an AI winter.

There are serious open questions about neural networks and current ML that the community just flat out ignores and handwaves away, usually pretending that they are philosophy questions when they aren't. "Can a giant neural network exactly model what the human brain does" is not a philosophy question.

The only people I see wearing masks are American tourists in the airports ( last 6 weeks Gardemoen, Kastrup , Keflavik, Arlanda )

Duck bill mask clad Germans generally stay in Germany. And they look insane. Like warning signs of nature insane.

Public announcements in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, from epidemiologists and ICU doctors recently is to stay the <f**> home if you are sick. If sick dont go out wearing a mask since it protects no one and, even if immuno compromized, live like you did in 2019 you are not protected wearing a flimsy surgical facemask and you need to socialize and not lock yourself up for the rest of your days.

And once you are not sick anymore, go back to work.

Hand washing still applies though.

Don't think handwashing has been controversial since dr. Ignaz Semmelweis in 1865 was declared insane and put in an asylum by the medical establishment for suggesting that hand washing prevented doctors from spreading disease between their patients.
This is a different internet than the one we had, is my own apprehension.
Yeah, I suppose they could create a separate org, "Google Open Source" and put it there, but probably they'd like to reserve the right to own and then change the "not official" to "official" whenever they please.

There are many lawyers and such at Google who think about these things more intensely than you and I do. I'm sure they have looked at all angles.

EDIT: I do find it amusing to watch HN and other forums whenever something new and interesting is dumped under the /google org and people need to be convinced it's not some radical new direction Google is taking. But I've also been wrong before. I dismissed Fuchsia as a personal hobby project that grew out of control, until it grew out of control enough that it rm -r'd everything I'd been working on for 2+ years.
> If you work for a certain company and you recommend it, you should disclose that you work for said company.

I see no good reason to accept that proposition. Moreover, I'm not recommending Hasura in this thread (see below). That would be odd, given that I have also said good things about competing products (Potgraphile and Supabase).

I made 4 comments originally:

1. rejecting the claim that Apollo is "_the_" GraphQL company: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34007957

2. rejecting the claim that Apollo client is the only one to use: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34008121

3. answering the question of what to use on the backend besides Apollo: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34018101

4. rejecting the claim that Apollo can't "be beat" on the backend: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34018095

Numbers 3 and 4 are similar but not the same, given their contexts.

For the record, Hasura has never had serverless functions. It never had them before and it still doesn't have them now. We view that as a product decision, but you're free to view it however you like. As for your other reasons for not wanting to use Hasura, you're free to have them just as others are free to reject them. My objective has never been to persuade people to use Hasura. Use whatever you want. My objective was counter claims that I believe are untrue.

You're going to get a lot of skewed results here, because a lot of parents aren't going to feel comfortable telling the truth: that almost all parents allow a reasonable amount of screen time to their kids, even if they know it's not the healthiest thing for them.

i work on https://github.com/google/pytype which is largely developed internally and then pushed to github every few days. the github commits are associated with the team's personal github accounts. pytype is not an "official google product" insofar as the open source version is presented as is without official google support, but it is "production code" in the sense that it is very much used extensively within google.

You're misunderstanding the parent.

I agree it's difficult to care for an impoverished child. My mom was a single mother that was close to becoming homeless, and we both survived. There are many free resources for single mothers. (for example, WIC, a program that provides nutritious free food for Women, Infants, and Children)

But imagine a two-year old child in front of you. His mother is poor and feels she cannot care for him. He lives in the slums of a country where children cannot be adopted. Should his mother be allowed to kill him?

> We'll also never know how many people who made big contributions would have been murdered by unwanted, abused, and neglected children who grew up to become criminals.

It's probably true that if we kill impoverished unwanted toddlers, future crime rates could potentially decline. That doesn't make it moral to do so.
That would have different tax results depending on whether or not it was operating under a reseller model, where the reseller is the one importing the item.

Then there is little or no revenue local to France.

to this day, the only criticism of XP I saw is about the UI, which doesn't make sense to me - switching it was a matter of 3 clicks
I suspect that a lot of AI researchers will end up holding the exact opposite position to a lot of philosophers of mind and treat AGIs as philosophical zombies, even if they behave as if they are conscious. The more thoughtful ones will hopefully leave the door open to the possibility that they might be conscious beings with subjective experiences equivalent to their own, and treat them as such, because if they are then the moral implications of not doing so are disturbing.
my reasoning with Debian goes like this:

I don't like apt as a package manager, so if I am going with a minimal distribution I'd prefer to use a distro that has a package manager I am comfortable with/enjoy using

Coming up with novel content doesn't necessarily mean it can reason (depending on your definition of reason). Take 3 examples:

1) Copying existing bridges
2) Merging concepts from multiple existing bridges in a novel way with much less effort then a human would take to do the same.
3) Understanding the underlying physics and generating novel solutions to building a bridge

The difference between 2 and 3 isn't necessarily the output but how it got to that output; focusing on the output, the lines are blurry. If the AI is able to explain why it came to a solution you can tease out the differences between 2 and 3. And it's probably arguable that for many subject matters (most art?) the difference between 2 and 3 might not matter all that much. But you wouldn't want an AI to design a new bridge unsupervised without knowing if it was following method 2 or method 3.
Children produce novel sentences all the time, simply because they don't know how stuff is supposed to go together. "Novel content" isn't a step forward. "Novel content that is valid and correct and possibly an innovation" has always been the claim, but there's no mathematical or scientific proof.

How much of this stuff is just a realization of the classic "infinite monkeys and typewriters" concept?
What if France has complex rules and extra regulations that bring the profit from the country to just 1 percent, compared to ~10% on global operations. With your logic you will tax the subsidiary way more than 100%.

They feel like Churchill's quip about democracy: self-evals are the worst system, except all the others that have been tried.

Ultimately, employers and employees need a way to ensure pay tracks employee value to company. At hiring time, it's easy: the employee presumably got multiple offers and so there's a quasi-market for that employee.

Later, what do you do, especially if the employee is otherwise happy at the employer? The employee can go out and periodically solicit competitive job offers to hold the employer accountable and ensure their pay keeps up with their skills. But this is super inefficient: even one interview loop costs the employee much more time more than the self-eval process. And this would impose a huge cost on employers, if a huge fraction of their candidates don't intend to ever convert and are just using the job offer as negotiation leverage.

Like, I hate doing performance evals as much as everyone else, but I'm not yet convinced there's a better system for solving the core problem of ensuring people's pay tracks their market value.
I should have been more detailed. I don't mean just the hunting and gathering. My primary point was that it was a harder overall life. Upkeep on your living space and belongings (now we just buy a new one online or, God forbid, drive to the store), preparing food often (no such thing as long-term preservation at the time), adults actually had families to take care of (increasingly more people are single / childless)...

There were more, urgent responsibilities to tend to.
Side question: how do we know if humans possess qualia?

On the other hand, I think by definition we can be sure that a ML thought process won't ever be similar to a human thought process (ours is tied up with feelings connected to our physical tissues, our breath, etc).

As time goes on, I end up exploring less and less and now just absorb media when I'm not working. And it's not even fun or satisfying, but the dopamine hit is easy. It could be just partially growing up and having real responsibility and a full time job, but I feel the content delivery bears some of the blame.

As a web dev, I remember vaguely using books to learn html in 1998, however I couldn't fathom (or be tasked with) using books or offline knowledge to code or do my job, I'm afraid before long I'll feel the same about ai, to the point where I stop being the creator and it takes over for me. When we lean too much on tech, does our brain atrophy? I can kind of feel a sense of it, I haven't memorized a phone number in years except my wife's -- I can't ever remember my #, I have a bash script just so I can remember it or at least put it in my clipboard.

When I was a teenager I had at least 50 phone #'s in my head, but because I don't NEED to do that, my brain is like F that, let's not waste the storage space. Maybe I'm just getting older and my brain is losing plasticity, but I think always having someone to 'answer' for us may be a hinderance. The alternative though - self-sufficiency without google/chatGPT having to rely on physical books is now terrifying since I've come to lean on them so much.
I suppose we can ask GoF authors if they needed credibility boost from an obscure (certainly in CS circles) architect.

The quote does not make any coherent sense, it's a sentiment decorated with buzzwords. As I said, if Alan Kay wants to hand wave CS utopia, heck, the man has certainly earned it, and his woowoo talk is actually intellectually far more densely packed and nutritious.

Btw, I said nothing about patterns, OO, good, or bad. We also disagree about portability of concepts and viewpoints across disciplines. I studied architecture in grad school and engineering before that. And learning C/S via vocational route I found my EE and architecture background was beneficial and definitely informed my architectural thinking in software. I merely said you can not have a one-to-one mapping. Here an example: modular thinking -> engineering, architecture, software. But "Pattern Language" on its own is not fully informative of conceptual concerns of software architecture. That was the point.

I actually did try this, but I got impatient and stopped it after 30 minutes or so, and a ~20G database file.

For some reason, after that, `ls` in that directory (or even shell completion) would freeze the shell entirely, even after reboot. I eventually managed to delete the file with `rm db.sqlite` (no completion allowed), but even that took like 2 minutes.

I might try again with WAL enabled (based on my shell history, I also deleted a -journal file).
