I've had a friend go off psych meds for religious reasons (Christian Science) and nearly die (waxy catatonia from severe bipolar), so my objectivity is impaired. however:

my rule of thumb is that if the patient, after being returned to lucidity by meds, agrees in retrospect that meds were necessary, then it's the right call.

the other exception is if the person is at substantial risk of hurting others if unmedicated. then the violence of mandated medication is warranted.

barring that, if someone on psych meds wants to go back off them, I wouldn't prevent them from doing so.

I asked:

Can you give an english example that you’ve personally heard where “cancer” just meant “a thing that mildly bothers me”? Like do your friends call when their shoestrings tied too tight “a cancer on society”?

Which was two yes or no questions. Based on your response it’s a no to both.

Thanks for the response! Gotta love theoretical arguments about people that may not exist and didn’t post in this thread. What a good use of our time!

edit:

To make myself clear

> I'm not entirely sure if I follow where we still disagree then?

I disagree fundamentally that this is a fun moment to discuss linguistics. I was trying to figure out how exactly you felt you were contributing, especially now that you’ve walked back the importance of your fun facts about Dutch and the culture in Taiwan.

Is it always, by definition, a sort of funsy analogy when people say “a cancer on society”? People always both clearly feel strongly, but also clearly NEVER mean to point out what they feel is an existential threat?

As one of the people "who lost China", Linebarger had some pointed post-mortems in the 1954 Edition of his Psychological Warfare.

His reaction to "how could anyone go communist?" was not to say "brainwashing" (an area in which he presumably had professional expertise), but to say "because our counter-offer needs to be better":

> Sir Henry Gurney['s] approach to the problem of confronting Communism was hopelessly sane. The Communists were offering young Chinese the intoxication of craziness, of a mad and heroic righteousness to justify the misspending of their lives. Sir Henry's answer was decency, goodness, security, prosperity, authority, liberty under law. He offered everything except glamor, terror, inspiration, and romance—

> Everything except the chance to join the British side.

> What kind of British side?

> A British side which, like the Communist side, would welcome the makers of the future, the builders of the next civilization, the arbiters of history.

> The Communists have presented a high bid against the U.S. and Britain as well as the other Western powers. We have not yet overbid them. The high bid is the opportunity to join, to belong, really to be equal, not just legally equal, and, above everything, to share, to struggle, and to work under conditions of heroism for a common goal.

For context, in 1954 the US Military had just started to get serious about desegregation, via implementing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_9981 (while US society, OTOH...)

I researched duct cleaners recently and found a similar set of dubious businesses. There are several businesses named "American Air Duct Cleaning of [insert city name]". Google Maps has 70-120 5 star reviews. They all say things like “David and Oscar did a great job”…. from Florida to Texas to other states... always David and/or Oscar for each place! All the reviews are in the last 6 months or so. All the reviews are relatively unique and the reviewers are not new Google reviewers… there’s definitely some sort of weird Google Review scam going on here. All the websites say “Family/Locally Owned & Operated" yet they're identical web pages.

I'm surprised by how unsophisticated the approach appears. Interesting to see the problem is not limited to duct cleaning businesses.
You might want to look at micromamba as a separate tool that can install python itself, libraries, etc. with zero dependency on a python being installed. It's a very fast tool written in C++ so it's easy to install and use almost anywhere. It uses the conda ecosystem of packages.
I didn't say "AI" (which is a ridiculously broad term to use in this context) won't get better.

I said this statistical language model likely won't end up replacing coders in it's current form. I think something really quite new and novel will have to be invented to do this.

I kind of which I could use it to be writing code for me now while I was outside in the sun, but no :)

If it really turns out to be a problem then copyright holders are simply going to add in a not-licensed-for-training clause in all their licenses[1].

Sure, existing works already licensed can still be used, but at least both parties (copyright holders and AI trainers) won't have anything to argue about.

Second Life is doing OK. User count about 60%-70% of peak. More concurrent users than anybody else in the virtual world space except Roblox. Profitable. The owner says "it's a cash machine". The business model is straightforward - free to play, charge to rent out virtual land, take a small commission on item sales.

It's about the only thing in this space that turns a profit. Roblox has a huge user count, but loses huge amounts of money. Since they did an IPO, everyone gets to look at their terrible numbers.
> how about people running AI only feed them information that they legally have the right to use?

That's what they did!

It was in fair use. So yes, they did have the right to legally train the data on copyrighted images.
Google enjoys a cult like status in people from a certain south asian country which idolizes "prestige" and also produces millions of software engineers a year. I don't think they will have any trouble recruiting people.
As a partial defense for the length of the book, it was "Test-Driven Development by Example". Hard to fit examples into the page or two needed to explain the core concept itself.

Letting ideas like this move into the "similar brain-space ... as Scrum" is dangerous. You're actively choosing not to think at that point, you're choosing anti-thought over thought. Move too many things into that brain-space and you're going to become thoughtless. Don't let that happen, you have more to contribute to the world than becoming another mindless automaton.

Engage with the idea instead, understand why it does or does not make sense to you. Why it is or is not applicable to some area. Why other people have different ideas about it or disagree on its applicability. You'll be much better for it. And as much as I also dislike Scrum, it's worth engaging with its core ideas as well.
China does not have that long if they invade. The US does not need to counter Chinese military locally, just hold Japan and cut off Persian Gulf and all food imports. China imports almost all good and energy.

China can only invade Taiwan to start ww3, and only if it is ready to use nukes pretty soon.

I don't know broadly what Japanese economy does better. My answer is probably facetiously ignorant.

Arguably national strategic domestic preference, and technology transfer inbound to marketable reproducible product design? That's the common quality I was arguing to.

I believe they have a bi-facing model: national enterprise uses offshore to produce export goods under the brand, and domestic supply preferences onshore (eg cars) which suggests a pretty good IPR model.

Nobody much says the Japanese fintech sector is the rational choice against London. So post brexit they didn't say "let's all move to Japan" which suggests they aren't the big cheese there? (They went to Dublin and Frankfurt) but maybe with HK losing favour, Japan is a good pick?

Sure the US is turning insular, the only thing all politicians are on is that bribery is good and China is the main enemy. Which still means that Taiwan will be defended.
Yes and no. For example, production of Soviet-compatible ammunition is restored in some NATO countries. However, production rate is not high enough to have parity with RF. IMHO, Ukraine should capture Russian stocks in Transnistria to match RF stocks. Taiwan has no such option. Moreover, Taiwan sea routes can be easily interrupted with sea mines. If the war will start this year, then it's too late to bump up weapon production.
They're solved and not solved. I love my M1 MacBook, but I also know that Apple worries a ton about thermal design. One of the big problems with the iPhone mini was dealing with the thermals in such a tiny package. While The M1 and M2 chips are allowing Apple to create great fanless and fan-lite designs, I'm sure Apple would love to be able to squeeze more CPU power into a MacBook Air or be able to offer even faster processors in a MacBook Pro by using more power.

Intel has been showing off "laptop" chips that are faster than Apple's. I put "laptop" in quotes because Intel often benchmarks their 45W "laptop" processors that would never fit in anything like a MacBook Pro or most other laptops.

Still, I'm sure Apple would love to be able to increase the thermal limit on their designs. Maybe even an iPad Pro could accommodate one of these (it looks like they're around 2mm thick).

Apple has done wonders to create processors that work extremely well within low power/heat constraints. I still think they'd love to be able to remove more heat and give them more room for their designs.

Use the book "Lingua Latina per se illustrata" to learn Latin. It's quite magical, you just start reading Latin which is comprehensible due to similarities to English and it stacks on this without using anything but Latin. It's also much faster and more thorough than other textbooks.

I have seen people disagree on various aspects of that, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone argue that their "human rights" should be taken away, outside of some comments that are being downvoted to hell and flagged.

I think you may be reading too much into my Scrum brain-space. Or maybe projecting?

I've looked at those things. Found what I think are the core valuable bits, and how they apply to me and my situation. And I do not want to interact with them in a professional setting, because they are almost always distorted beyond any reasonable interpretation of their core, losing all meaning of the term and being used as an excuse to continue bad behaviors. They're quite similar in that respect.
Calling BS on your claim here. You would've had to have spent quite a lot fo time just writing up the requirements that it would've been as easy to do some other way.

It's something I could do with swagger in 5 minutes as well, you don't need an AI to generate boilerplate code.

The difference with using swagger would be, I know the code is correct.

The actual problem might be that you're so rusty, you don't actually ,know what the job entails or is worth? I mean you have clients, and you're pasting code from ChatGPT into source control and people are paying you for this?
On the other hand if China bombs the fabs, 1) it cripples the west's economy (and potentially its military supply chain also), 2) it ceases to make Taiwan a strategic asset to the West since there are no more fab to defend. To me it's a no brainer, particularly if they think Taiwan won't let them capture the fabs anyway (will destroy them before China controls the territory).
the pockets of where the energy is concentrated lines up perfectly with specific tomb placements.

Not to mention, the typical “how did the pyramids get built with such high precision?”, they obviously had some techniques that we still today aren’t sure of, though some interesting hypothesis have come about.

At what point do we concede maybe there’s something they understood back then that we don’t today. Or something they and us understand perfectly well, but they used “lost” techniques.
care to share? :)
Rather than lazy programmers or evil managers, I think what primarily stops us keeping software simple is that we often seek to model complex systems, or code complex problems.

Given this, the “wrong tool (technology or language) for the job” simply complicates the already complex?
Especially with the Washington attack happening so soon after the one in North Carolina, the most notable thing to me was that both attacks occurred close to a couple of our most important Army bases, in counties where many troops live with their families off-base. Fort Bragg and Fort Lewis (JBLM) are both home to a corps headquarters, special operations units, and other rapid-response forces. This was rarely mentioned in the news coverage that I saw. But as a career military officer, some of the most thought-provoking "red team" stuff that I've read involved attacking us in our communities at home where we are soft targets, mostly reliant on civilian law enforcement for protection.
Yes and even before this announcement, the story was about a shift from AltSpace towards the new Mesh for Teams product as in better world/room building will be part of Mesh. Mesh is being used internally and the project as far as I can tell is still the main program in their shift to XR software and backends and leaving hardware to partners.
There's a Django-ish version of this out there, and when I looked into using it briefly some time ago they had instructions on how to keep things "warm".

All that to say: I guess it's been considered, but I don't have measurements handy. It's not unknown tho.
Yes, but what does that have to do with the context here? (I.e. changes triggered by vaccination)
I don't recall the episode, been probably 10 years since I watched the show, but lots of things "suck" if you watch them through your 2023 eye. Whether a show came out in 1955 or 1999, I just enjoy it as a product of it's time.

The thing is, the “good” models can’t reconstruct the image in detail. It’s considered a sign of “overfitting” if you reconstruct the input exactly. Even if you put the exact query that was associated with that image, you’ll get the weighted average (feature-wise) image associated with the query. This applies to all like machine learning models without loss of generality.
This is like an esolang version of Logo turtle graphics.

> 'white supremacist terrorism' narrative that politicians and alphabet agencies have been trying to sell

If white supremacist terrorist attacks are actually happening (and they are), then it's not a fictional narrative that the public is being told. Furthermore, I'm curious how that is linked to the following point.

> increases in domestic surveillance/police state infrastructure
I'd like to point out that given that police [1] have been infiltrated by white supremacists and three-letter agencies are doing nothing about it [2] this would seem to disproportionately affect people of color, to say nothing about surveillance that already occurs with open-source and private data.

It seems that your fears are misplaced/misinformed at best.

Another lucky winner: https://peps.python.org/pep-0668/

This PEP is meant to ensure you don't clobber your Linux distro's base environment and break key OS applications.

Also, this problem doesn't exist on e.g. Windows, where there is no OS installed python to clobber. Other folks have taught themselves to always use virtual environments for this very reason and therefore don't share your problem.

Hence, there are tutorials out there that don't talk about your problem and tools exist where the default behavior might be dangerous on your Linux distro.

===================

What song from a musical did the Beatles sing on TV?

The Beatles performed a song from the musical "Oliver!" on their first appearance on the British TV show "Val Parnell's Sunday Night at the London Palladium" in October 1963. They sang the song "Consider Yourself" from the musical. The Beatles were not known for singing songs from musicals, but this performance is one of the few examples of them doing so.

on the Ed Sullivan show?

The Beatles performed several songs on the Ed Sullivan Show, a popular American television program. They made three appearances on the show in 1964, February 9th, February 16th and August 14th. Some of the songs they sang on the Ed Sullivan Show include "All My Loving," "Till There Was You," "She Loves You," "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Twist and Shout" and many others. However, they did not perform any songs from musicals on the show.

"Till There Was You" is from "The Music Man"

You are correct, "Till There Was You" is a song from the musical "The Music Man" by Meredith Willson. The Beatles performed this song on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964. It was a part of their first performance on the show, which was watched by an estimated 73 million people. This performance is widely considered to be a pivotal moment in the history of popular music, and it helped establish The Beatles as one of the most popular and influential bands of all time.

So you were wrong

I apologize, you are correct that "Till There Was You" is a song from the musical "The Music Man" and The Beatles did perform this song on the Ed Sullivan Show. I apologize for any confusion my previous statement may have caused. As a machine learning model, I rely on the information provided to me, and sometimes I may not have the most up-to-date information or I might make mistakes. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Those wanting AI to respect copyright are going to find that the big players will navigate copyright just fine. It's the small players that won't. They're advocating for institutional control over AI.
There's no part of AI that is being swallowed up by copyright. AI companies can ask for permission if they want to train their models on other people's works. It's not that hard, various image hosting sites have already added an opt-in/opt-out toggle to their services. Sites might even get away with using this stuff as compensation for free hosting.

The fact of the matter is that the AI companies don't want to ask for permission, because people will say no. Or worse, ask for attribution or even payment. There is plenty of copyright free/public domain material out there, but what the customers of AI people want isn't available under those terms.

The code to train an AI is not enough to make a product and these people have nothing to add themselves, so they take what others made and use that to make a profit. They can make or pay for their own paintings, their own pictures, their own music, but that would require putting in too much work or paying too much money.

It's very possible that a judge will rule that AI models do not violate copyright. If that is the case, I hope new legislation will correct that oversight very quickly.
