If it was in a non-medical setting I would agree but in medicine a patient's financial contribution or political status should not be a factor of consideration. even if they have been threatened they can hire protection after all and the government can add extra protection as needed. All patients should be safe and secure equally, women who are threatened by an abusive spouse or people injured/targeted by gang shootings don't get that treatment now do they? Even the hospital owner should be treated with the same ethical and procedural considerations.

Every doctor and nurse is seriously educated on this.
I think this is a great framework to explain dyspraxia. It's not a matter of getting distracted, or slow thinking, it's random failures in each component part.

You don't get distracted and forget what number you were counting, you jump from 5 to 7 because the increment process is unreliable.

It's not that you "Aren't paying attention", you let the pot boil over because your agent that watches the environment in the background randomly left the office because you thought about something else for a brief moment and the agent that manages the stack and returns to the previous task went on vacation.

Your conscious experience is the same, but you can take wildly incorrect actions because whatever agent gave you the data is wrong.

Trying this now.

Edit: the closest solution is to try account recovery, which is what I was doing. :(

I don't want to "spam" the recovery form, since I suspect that will only make it worse.

Edit2: trying Gmail app and Google Authenticator now, to see if that makes a difference. Will update with progress.

Edit3: no dice. Gmail app just loops me to a message saying "Google couldn't verify that this account belongs to you." Clicking on Verify account just loops me back to the login. It doesn't even ask for my old password like before.

My main account is still locked, but it let me verify via my old password, new password, and recovery email code. The message says that they still need to verify more, but I should look for an email to login within 48 hours.

Fingers crossed!

This was a key blind spot for Elon. He thought advertising should work better with more engagement (or something like that if I am ascribing too much intent). It usually should. But that's not how Twitter evolved to work.

In a democracy or republic (any form of representative government) inherently every discussion is political.

As each person decides who will represent them, or in a direct democracy where everyone votes on laws, discussing ethics, logic, news, is paramount.

> politics - The art or science of government or governing, especially the governing of a political entity, such as a nation, and the administration and control of its internal and external affairs.

Every one of these questions touch on administration of societal affairs. There’s a fun nativity calling these questions non-political. The questions themselves already assume certain positions as well.

I personally think politics is important to discuss. But if you REALLY want to avoid real discussion - sports, weather, food, gardening, or play games is the best bet.

Not to take anything away from Kirsch's achievements but that statement is similar to saying "Without Einstein we wouldn't have a theory of General Relativity". …which is very likely false: In the 1910s there were dozens of other people looking into unifying gravity with Special Relativity (and electromagnetism) and, eventually, someone else would have surely come up with a theory isomorphic to General Relativity.

In the same way, someone else probably would have invented the digital image scanner.
For better or worse, the convention in Ruby is to name methods in a second-person style [0], as if addressing the object directly: “file, do you `#exist?`”; “string, do you `#start_with?` foo?”. So, for consistency, `Dir.exist?` and `File.exist?` have been preferred for a long time.

These type of bugs / disconnects between systems can have a major productivity impact for teams and organisations. And they are relatively common. :/

I've frequently worked on such issues during my career and the time it takes to identify root cause / effective mitigations can be draining. I've found the key is to focus on creating reproducible test cases and a way to capture environment information in a manner that ensures you are comparing apples to apples. Some systems are so brittle that even adding additional load to capture observability data causes nuances that obscure the root cause. :(
Oh yeah it’s not always wrong, just often enough and convincing enough that it would be dangerous to rely on it.

Anybody that turns everything into something "intensely political" is a toxic person, and should be avoided. Spending quality time with friends and family is more valuable than trying to force them to think like you.
>Politics is all about value judgements and arguing about where we are going.

In my opinion, politics is about deciding where society should go. It's inherently about directing shared resources and convincing/forcing others to do things. All politics is based on value judgements, but not all value judgements are political.

E.g., for prompt #4, I can say my child's school focuses too little on "the classics." I might not want to change the curriculum, just teach him the classics myself at night. That's not really a political discussion, because I'm not involving or intentionally affecting people outside my family.

But honestly, if any term reaches the point where "Everything is X," then X is a useless term.

That's an insanely naive form of pacifism justifying acceptable genocide. If killing 0.99% of the population for geopolitical goals is acceptable, then 0.99% of the population of all states will get will get killed, currently roughly 80 million people. Because any country has at least one enemy with some geopolitical goal.

I cannot put into words how revolting this idea of yours is, and it's exactly people like you that need to be silenced in times of war for any chance of durable peace.

War is always and everywhere a result of insufficient deterrence - the enemy will only be dissuaded if they are guaranteed a response that far outweighs any potential wins.

> The grandparent comment is trying to emphasize that there just isn’t a technology gap between Google and OpenAI.

This is an entirely fair point, and I think I just missed it on my first reading of that post.

> Google is not sitting on their hands. They are perfectly capable of training large language models and already have. Google is just as much a leader in AI research as OpenAI.

This, however, I still don't think is a good place for google to be. It assumes that training the AI is the hard part. I don't think it is, at least not for google. I think the hard part for them would be marketing, ux, and supporting (as in customer support) a product that isn't search in the long term. This hasn't been their wheelhouse, and if they don't start working on the details now, they could very easily end up with a technically superior product that nobody uses.
While I can't speak from first hand experience of juggling programming and management jobs, I've observed the same problem in my part-time team leads to believe what you say is true.

I'd like to add yet another aspect you didn't mention:

I've had a couple of experiences in very dynamic work situations where every developer is juggling multiple development jobs at once. If those aren't very well managed (which I've never seen done), the individual jobs/projects will immediately cannibalize each other: The thing that's the most critical right now gets way more attention than anything else, which causes those other things to go unattended for too long, which increases the risk of them becoming critical in turn (either through errors because of rush jobs or because of arbitrary deadlines coming up). The result is constant firefighting.

The thing is that juggling management and development jobs basically looks like asking for that to happen (at least to me). Most important "management issues" are more impactful than the development job (especially when done as a rush job) and in my opinion even less likely to be plannable/mechanical in nature. This means that it's even likelier that some tasks will cannibalize the amount of attention others get by themselves and it's never going to be a simple 1/n calculation. And if you maintain that you could reach that kind of multitasking nirvana anyway with enough iron discipline, I'd argue that this discipline should be considered a large multiplying factor of the context switching costs involved.
Awesome, really awesome work. However:

I think that depends on the goals of ChatGPT and/or what users are hoping to get out of it.

If it was just acting as a search engine using english as the query language, then lack of intelligence wouldn't be an issue - the quality of output would just depend on the quality of the source as we're used to with search engines.

However, what ChatGPT is actually doing - due to it's fundamental nature as a language model (dealing only in word/language statistics) is effectively combining information from multiple sources, which of course is potentially very powerful if it knew HOW to utilize these variously sourced facts to construct a correct answer... but of course it doesn't, so it'll happily generate content mixed from factual and fantasy sources etc, or correct textbook programming exercises with buggy code from beginners it dredged up someplace. It's not just mixed sources though - it's the intelligence of how to take a bunch of raw facts and deduce something from them, and of course ChatGPT is not a deduction engine.

If you took longer to treat him after he raised that money, he can’t then go back in time and stop himself from raising that money. Presumably the argument should be around his future actions not his past ones.

As to the hospital, “The octogenarian had stomach pain, and Room 20 was kept empty for him, medical workers said.” “One doctor was surprised to find an orthopedic specialist in the room awaiting a senior hospital executive’s mother with hip pain.” This is a larger disruption than just the time he was physically being treated so presumably it’s more than just a one person delay.

Sure one possibility is they have more space than workforce so keeping the room empty has minimal downsides, but maintaining a separate space for VIP’s requires more overhead than an empty room. Essentially you need to decide if anyone showing up is a VIP and that slows everything down even when there aren’t VIPs. “Major trustee, please prioritize” is vastly more disruptive than just putting someone ahead of a line.

“It’s the fact that I am getting multiple calls, from multiple people, asking me to drop everything to treat a V.I.P.” If nothing else if the hospital wants to start “acting as businesses“ for VIPs then it should be giving up it’s non profit status and thus the tax deductions for the donors.

The financial issue is more debatable, but as the article notes, there's already preference given to friends and family of doctors and nurses - so if they're "seriously educated", it doesn't seem to have stuck.

I'm not sure whether I'm more troubled by an informal policy of helping big donors the same way friends and family are or a formal policy that allows people to pay an annual fee for preferential treatment at the ER (which many hospitals have).

Def Jam, Young Money, and Roc-A-Fella might be laughing all the way to the bank.
Lie? No. They just seek to a set point that is socially undesirable but may be preferred to a powerful subset of participants. There are other systems have the same control system issues.

I don't mean this a sarcasm. The point of good regulation is to try to change the incentive structure so that the system seeks to a different peak in the possibility space, avoiding various hill-climbing errors along the way. That's hard, but the approach of mandating how can be easier to write but much harder to implement (less stable, expensive, and requiring a lot of government effort).

A good example is exchange trading schemes. Instead of requiring a huge bureaucracy, the European trading system issues a number of emissions permits and then lets the market decide whether to upgrade or buy permits. As the number of certs sinks predictably over time, people can plan ahead to commit to building better plants (or retrofit) vs eking a couple of extra years out and then shutting the plant down. Less paperwork, fewer regulators, and letting the market seek to the point you want.

Oh man, where do we even begin. $1.5B would be a great number if it's true. The fact that the commenter compares that amount to the $300M they claim Netflix spends each year shows that they ... are ... a lot less intelligent than they probably think they are.

Twitter: Billions of little updates that invalidate billions of cached data sets, every single day, that need to be analyzed and delivered very quickly.

Netflix: Maybe millions of static files that do not ever change, that need to be shuttled to the closest CDN peer and cross referenced against profile and billing data before allowing access.

How does anyone even begin to compare these two engineering tasks and think they have anything in common? ... And, looking at their timeline, they then went on to compare Twitter's infra to WhatsApp in the 2010s, when it did nothing other than store-and-forward over an Erlang bus! And thinks this infra has something in common with what it takes to run Twitter! What!

I guess it shouldn't surprise me that a false expert with such a mediocre grasp of the realities of social infrastructure would be a major Elon fanboy.
