The Trump of today is not the Trump of 2016. I wouldn't say it's impossible, given the last decade, but the guy recently called for the repeal of the Constitution so he could be reinstated as President and it barely got a ping on the media's radar. In 2020 that would have triggered a riot.

I think Trump is done, but Trumpism itself isn't. The base is going to look for more competent leadership, maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz or one of Trump's kids.
I can share the sentiment. I got stuck in a few loops on psychedelics and it was tumultuous to say the least. Overall it was a net positive effect but it’s certainly not the only way for “enlightenment.” It’s perhaps the most masochist path to enlightenment. Perhaps Alan Watts said that.
I have a 6 and 4 yr old. We've had a strict no screen during the school week rule. They can watch on weekends, holidays, and sick days. There's a zero screen policy in public, with the exception of airplanes and long road trips.

My kids are really well behave in restaurant and never ask for screens (I'm not even totally sure they would think of it). The trick for us is regularly flowing food, allowing them to bring bring a small toy, coloring utensils, and honestly just engage with them. That could be through visual and word games or just talking to them and asking the right questions. It's hard work, not every meal out is perfect, and sometimes it feel like it would just be easier to give them the phone. But I'm happy that we've taken this stance. I can't tell you how many times a restaurant owner or a nearby table has said how well behaved our kids are.

Body armour dissipates lots of the bullet energy in the act of breaking. Prince Rupert drop armour would mostly result in the bullet snookering a glass chunk into you instead. Even if you could make a solid glass plate that wouldn't break when shot (doubtful), the transmitted energy of a bullet would still be more damaging because it would all end up in your body, not in heating up the broken shards of a ceramic plate.

I'm saying that adding hashes is basically free, given the right hash function.

Sorting is very much not free though. I don't see why would sorting be needed if you have an efficient hash table, or a search tree. Essentially TFA describes just that, an index file + data file approach. They could have used SQLite which readily provides indexed access, instead of pure Python.

Of course if you never do the same search again, you're back to mmap-ing the file and doing a full scan smartly, like GNU grep does (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-Aug...).
I know the problem. My AS/400e would also get much more powered on time if it wasn't so damn loud.
Legal action based on what?
> This pattern—massive outlays followed by poor, possibly-rushed possibly-underpowered workmanship—sounds remarkably like corruption.

I worked at a medium-sized company that went through a phase of hiring ex-FAANG people, thinking we'd improve our quality by implementing FAANG practices.

It did the opposite: The ex-FAANG people were absolutely masterful at self-promotion, office politics, and collecting wins for themselves while shifting blame for anything that didn't work.

The strange thing was that many of them were actually good programmers when it came down to it. It seemed like they had been conditioned by their FAANG employers to put self-promotion and survival above everything else, which turned into an extremely toxic trait once they were removed from FAANG managers who were playing the same game. The company had to steadily ratchet down the levels of trust and independence granted to teams, while steadily increasing the amount of management oversight and process to keep them within bounds.

Now whenever I see famous builders and founders leave FAANG companies out of frustration, I get it. The big tech company game has deviated very far from execution.

Marijuana actually triggers panic attacks in a similar way for me. None of the other psychedelics trigger it as bad as marijuana. Even then it’s a different type of management if it’s from shrooms or lsd. The marijuana one feels psychotic with short term memory loss vs just experiencing a different reality.

If people raised chickens then killed them only for their crests, then that would be comparable. Put another way, if sharks were abundant and people fished them and ate the whole fish, it would not raise such concern.

The concern arises when people take a whole shark, then cut the fin and dispose of it --only for the fin.

Imagine if Tigers only ate the tails or ear flops of their prey and then ran off after that.

You hit the nail in the head. It is about mimicry. Apes are often dismissed as just mimicking human behavior in many circumstances. Putting on a hat for instance. They don't know nor think about what it is about. And neither do babies nor even many adults. They don't reflect on it, and most definitely they don't reflect on their own thought-processes. They just mimic other humans around them.

Now mimicking the speech of people may give the impression that the AI has some thought-processes behind its speech because, it is text that any human might write. But there's no logic because there's no symbolic reasoning. There's just mimicry and trial and error. "Training the model" just means millions of trial-and-error practice runs.

What the (neural network) AI can NOT mimic is the actual (symbolic) thought-process of humans, because that is not visible anywhere. It can only mimic the input -> response -behavior of humans. Therefore no, the AI is not conscious. It is the proverbial zombie.
That sounds like the bacteria that makes ants hang off of leaves to get eaten by predators to spread the parasite. Similar to that cat pee bacteria thing.
He's been concerned with this type of stuff for a long time. There are plenty of articles about him talking about the NSA, tech giants, etc. I think he created a social media platform a few years ago as an alt to facebook.
> At one point I asked Musk what he makes of this criticism—that just as the old guard at Twitter had too much power, so does he.

I would argue that's highly debatable. He reacts to criticism by making wild pedo-guy accusations and he is remorseless in ignoring fundamentals like labour laws or alternate choices in tech. He's as open to ideas as any single minded autodidact. Which is to say he's only receptive to ideas he is primed to want to believe.

He's not very open to the ideas he might be too powerful, biased or wrong.
Yes, they would have. Still do.

I am an adult and while I was a child, our father turned off TV and cable access. He connected internet for a while but later disconnected that down as well. Needless to say, now I am older, it's very hard for me to moderate my film-viewing and internet-using habits. And I have always been wondering, was it because I wasnt allowed to moderate myself when I was little that I cant rid myself addiction?

Nowadays, the only thing that works for me is to print what I want to read, turn off phone and computer, restrict internet access by turning off router, putting the router in hardest to reach places and lay down to read.
No. All humans are is physical state with translation of that state based on stimuli. That produces consciousness as a side effect.

There is nothing mystical about it and nothing about it that says it can't be reproduced in other, but comparable forms, in other media or types of machines.

To think that our mode of reasoning or our experience is somehow not able to be reproduced is the nonsense.

But yeah keep holding human biology on some kind of sacred pedestal.

Seeing as neither of us will prove our negative, I guess I'll just tell you I think your thinking is broken anyway.
This is false. A shit ton of money can buy a ton of talent. Not Carmack level talent though, he made Doom and Quake so he's already a multi-millionaire. You need a metric ton of money to buy out Carmack, which is exactly what they did.

Yes, I mean the weights.

If the original is a creative expression, then recording it using some different tech is still a creative expression. I don't see the qualitative difference between a bunch of numbers that constitutes weights in a neural net, and a bunch of numbers that constitute bytes in a compressed image file, if both can be used to recreate the original with minor deviations (like compression artifacts in the latter case).
I wonder if it is possible to take two or more high water using industries and combine them in a way that would all the combination to work on substantially less water than they were using individually?

For example we've all read that it takes a little over a gallon to grow an almond. And it takes about 10 gallons to make one integrated circuit.

But that almond does not contain a gallon of water. The almond only contains about 0.0003 gallons of water.

And my computer, which contains dozen of integrated circuits, certainly does not actually contain hundreds of gallons of water.

So could we put almond farms and semiconductor fabs next to each other and arrange that much of the 0.9997 gallons that does not go into the almond is available to the semiconductor fab? (Or maybe the other way around--start with the fab and then do the almonds?)

And could we put some other agricultural or manufacturer after all that, and so on?

Some of these uses might contaminate the water so some cleanup might be needed before it could be used downstream, but there are a lot of agricultural and industrial processes that need water with varying requirements as to how clean it needs to be so it seems plausible that there should be some combinations that would work well together.
> the only clean energy source

Saying nuclear energy is 'clean' because it doesn't cause CO2 emissions is like saying arsenic is the only healthy food because it doesn't contain sugar.

You set up a false dichotomy between nuclear energy and "solar and wind", as if that's the only possible renewable energy source.

My point is: Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy you can produce, no other energy source has you paying for waste management for 20000+ years.

Let's instead invest in a mix of other, already available solutions so that we
a) smooth out spikes
b) have simple energy storage solutions
c) don't have to pay the guy printing new signs saying 'caution, radiation, don't enter this cave and please don't hold this site hostage in case of civil war' for some 20000+ years.
You can go look at the demo/site for Gitea if you want.

To the best of my knowledge it's negative so far but it's very hard to tell since MS only reports revenues but not the expenses. I'm guessing Xbox's main purpose right now is to serve the purpose of keeping MS relevant to home users and preserving brand awareness, but in terms of direct profitability Xbox is likely an overall loser.

GPT-3 has seen examples of code with comments describing a DSL followed by use of that DSL. And DSLs rarely invent a new paradigm. I think if you showed a model OOP programming when it had only been trained on functional code it would fail spectacularly. But your DSL is probably not far off from Lisp or C, or YAML. The model correlates a pre-defined set of tokens with other tokens in the input and then extrapolates. The only reason it can appear to have internal logic is because of the consistent structure of code it was trained on.
I could have just become vegan which for me would have been easier than keto. I reduced carbs enough to lose 15 pounds (I am only 165) and the numbers didn't budge at all, so that wasn't going to work. Living under a keto regime is not realistic for me.
You are being down voted because although your point is valid, it has zero relevance because the goal is fast lookup. Preprocessing cost is not a factor.

See but I don't think you'd be able to do that if you hadn't the experience of living without. Like you literally wouldn't even consider it an option.

That's the main reason but not the only one, federalism is the other (unless you consider that also a consequence of certain 20th century events, which in part it absolutely is and in others it absolutely isn't). The ID is clearly federal, but almost everything you might want to implement on top of it is not. The Nordics are small enough to country-wide standards easy.

IANAL so no idea of there's any chance of that working, I'm just brainstorming.
What do you do for the written response part, if anything? Rating yourself at the top of the scale is fine, though often there are several questions. Stuff like, "Please describe how your work exemplified our primary corporate values, including our commitment to innovation, transparency, diversity, and team work." Do you just write "No comment"?
Yes, a 100% solar grid would be very expensive. But a 90% renewable grid backed by 10% natural gas would be pretty cheap. And it's already rapidly under construction right now, and the natural gas infrastructure for it already exists. It would get us 90% of the carbon benefits, and buy time to figure out how to clean up the last 10% of the grid.

90% nuclear plus 10% hydro would be a fine end state. But we're at a standing start. The incremental change from "we're building 1 nuclear power plant which is years behind schedule and wildly over budget" to "we're simultaneously building 50 new nuclear reactors" is immense and I do not see how we get past it.
As grateful as I am for his contribution to VR, I can't wait.

He's not only brilliant and no BS, but seems to have a way of picking out and focusing on highly relevant and fruitful threads of progress without losing any nuance, with whatever he dips into. It will be exciting to see what might emerge if he pours all his effort into AGI.

Also his talent seems wasted battling Facebook, if they don't want to listen to him, why bother.

Note that I did not say legal action -- I said a letter. With the right wording, explanation of the case and concerns, and some finesse, FB counsel who might receive this letter may be motivated to solve it quickly and efficiently.

Actual legal action is a last resort, because if it goes bad everyone loses (especially the young creator, because it could take years).

Good lawyers should be good at that kind of thing.

The basic issue is they use volumetric pricing to cover all costs, which includes everything from transmission to wildfire mitigation. It’s a dumb system and it means that people who use more already pay more of the fixed costs than those who use little.

Irony is that if you shut down your solar panels and go on vacation, PG&E gets essentially nothing. But if you’re at home and producing and paying in (there is a minimum monthly fee under NEM 2.0 today) you’re responsible for an unfair ‘cost shift’’.
