My main goal is to use cognitive modeling to evaluate the efficacy of interventions and inform the personalized "minimum effective dose" for a particular learner. Academically, this is well-trodden territory [0-2] but these results haven't found there way into practice. This is critically important because we know that ~30% of children will learn to read regardless of method, ~50% require explicit, systematic instruction, ~15% require prolonged explicit and systematic instruction, and up to 6% have severe cognitive impairments that make acquiring reading skills extremely difficult [3]. Yet, how much is enough?

To make this more concrete, imagine you are learning a foreign language with Duolingo. How much effort per day is necessary to achieve that? Many people have long streaks and are no closer to fluency (I learned nearly nothing despite a 400 day streak). Similarly, many reading interventions are once-a-week and, predictably, don't meaningfully affect the learning outcomes for those students.

BTW, this ML portion is part of a much larger effort (e.g., our team is a Phase II finalist in the Learning Engineering Tools Competition). If anyone is interested in collaborating, please feel free to reach out to me.

One of the advantages of a constrained systems such as javadoc is it's uniformity and consistency.

No matter what library, program, codebase I read, if it's Java, I know how to effectively navigate the javadoc documentation. The defaults are good enough most of the time, even without additional developer elaboration/explanations.

There are still modern languages today that don't do automatic documentation anywhere near as good as javadoc.

If something like Markdown can be added in addition to the existing javadoc, and coexist and be used intertwined within the same documents - then this will be a huge winner.
Don't ask people for anecdotal advice around drugs. The bias is absurd. Just look up the summary of product characteristics or better yet talk to a doctor and you'll even get a blow by blow of how common they are.

That said if it doesn't give you the runs and you aren't trying for a kid it's probably the closest thing to exercise in a pill I'm existence.
That's even easier, indeed.
Banks also charge an outlandish overdraft fee per transaction of something like $35, limited to 3-4 per day. The default for most debit cards AFAIK is to enable overdraft protection. You have to specifically disable it at the bank (which everyone should do). Making an extra $100/day for a few small overdrafts is a very profitable racket.

2022 or 2023 might need to SUBTRACT a leap second because the whole Earth's rotation has mysteriously sped up about a millisecond. Since the definition of the year switched to atomic seconds some years ago, they previously had needed to ADD leap seconds to sync to the astronomical year. Earthquakes, weather, ocean circulation can change length of day. Perhaps the core rotation changes may be affecting the whole Earth too.

> Embrace, extend, and extinguish is a very specific term, which means – quoting Wikipedia – "a strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors."

That sure sounds like gh vs git to me (the thing this thread is about.)

> I just don't see how "need Microsoft account to log in to Windows" even remotely fits that.

The have embraced and extinguished the very idea of owning your own computer. These laptops come configured as dumb terminals for their corporate cloud. They EEE'd the Dynabook yo!?

> I don't know of anything Microsoft has done in the last 20 or so years that fits that.

I'm sure there are examples of MS following their playbook over the last three decades, I'm not going to "google it for you", there are probably lists kept by people who care more than I do.

> I can tell you of specific things Microsoft has done in the last 20 years that I don't like, but that doesn't make it embrace, extend, and extinguish.

I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees. The EEE thing is a strategy or tactic to achieve the overall goal: getting between people and their hardware and "extracting rent". That's their whole thing, yeah?

GitHub acquisition, VS Code, etc. Everything they do is EEE, whether it looks like a sheep or a wolf, it's a wolf.

Incidentally, that's why I don't accept the "Ship of Theseus" idea that MS has turned over in the last few decades. The ship is still a ship.

> I think especially if you want to promote Free Software it's very important to keep a cool head and not get too clouded by past grievances.

That's what I'm saying: the very idea that these grievances are past is exactly what I have a problem with, because they're not past. If anything, MS is succeeding.

> IMHO people are fighting yesterday's war with all of this to the detriment of today's war.

Following the war metaphor, I think we (the Free software folks) have clearly lost completely. We have been roundly defeated. Most people have never heard of us, let alone know what we're even about.

The closest thing to a front in the "War of General Purpose Computing" is the farmers fighting the tractor companies for the right to repair their tractors now that they have computers in them.

In any event, well met. Cheers! :)
What's the big deal? People on HN explore adjacent topics quite frequently, and the idea that both police and prisons exist to exert power over (and frequently choose to exercise violence upon) the population is a very common and uncontroversial feeling.

Not trying to "out" you here, just trying to understand why you're fighting so hard on their behalf, but do you maybe have a friend or relative that works in the police? Nothing wrong with it, but I have seen that this causes people to be more willing to turn a blind eye towards (or even to outright forgive and excuse) some of the darker things they do. Often viewing them as victims to be defended, while many of the rest of us tend to want the police to be more accountable and generally less violent.

This is of course not what profesional software engineering has come to.
ChatGPT (and GPT-3) can criticize its own output, and then incorporate its own feedback into an improved version. This works for essays, for code...

I'm waiting for a Copilot upgrade that puts red squigglies under "probably wrong" code, because GPT-3 can already detect and fix most of it.
People can be wrong and can sound quite plausible too.

The key is to verify... and that's true for AI and people too, though for sure that's not something people are used to do sadly.

I accidentally grew a heart organoid (of sorts) once. Dissected an embryonic chicken heart, cultured it to make "fibroblasts" (mesenchymal stem cells), forgot about them, left them in an incubator for week, and when i came back, the cells had proliferated and covered the dish in a sheet of cardiac muscle, which was beating irregularly.

My takeaway is that cells absolutely love doing stuff. I don't mean to downplay organoid work, it's a huge achievement, but ultimately what it's about is giving cells a chance to do what they're programmed to do.
I think that's why a lot of innovation comes from "outsiders" rather than industry veterans. You are more likely to notice the anomalies with fresh eyes and stop noticing them through time.

I give a prompt I get an answer.

I give keywords I get a list of results.

Search Engine results were never guaranteed to be 'right' just relevant to the user to used the keywords. I'm not sure why ChatGPT has to have a 'higher bar' than Google but in either case a human was always needed to interpret the final output.

It's just super convenient and a LOT of people are missing this. ChatGPT is the first ever chatbot that 'doesn't suck' and that's massive progress however others wish to slice it or measure it.
Depends on the jurisdiction.

Where I am (Jefferson County, KY), corrections officers are routinely used as additional back-up during protests or other times when the police feel they need more manpower. They are also routinely hired to work as security when they are off duty, where they wear their uniforms and are allowed to make arrests.

In my jurisdiction, they are legally a type of sworn law enforcement officer and regularly appear in public in ways that are more-or-less indistinguishable from police officers.

I think that ChatGPT could be a big accelerator for creative activity, but I wouldn't trust any output that I've only partially verified. That limits it to human scale problems in its direct output, but there are many ways that human scale output like code snippets can be useful on computer scale data.
It’s a business, not a co-op. The shareholders are risking capital and can lose it all. The employees get paid so long as they work there regardless of performance (in fact, they get bonuses based on performance and stock options, etc, to get a piece of the pie without risking any capital)
Also Oyster Point in South San Francisco (north of Silicon Valley) is a massive biotech hub.

In some way hubs are even more important in biotech than in software because of the massive startup cost.

Or, you know, actually "disrupt" something, like endocrine system of half a million people, or the entire global economy.

For the past decade, "Uber for Biotech" was my go-to scary hypothetical to post in HN comments. I'm increasingly worried we may actually get one for real.

Jeremy Howard's FastAI's course is another great one: https://course.fast.ai/

This is very cool, but if I were doing such things I'd just use SDL (https://www.libsdl.org/)
This seems like a huge leap. Sure, there are hands in the dataset, just like a human artist encounters hands every day of his or her life. Yet there are many artists that cannot draw hands but can easily draw other objects they encounter. Or, going back to bikes, some humans cannot accurately draw a bike despite encountering them frequently. Perhaps hands are simply a complex thing to draw accurately. Perhaps the AI's poor drawing of hands is itself evidence of understanding. Rather than produce an incorrectly oriented hand from its dataset, it "chooses" to draw something less specific as a reflection of its lack of ability to draw hands.
I am interested in that? Maybe we can use ChatGPT or related tech to change Dungeon Crawler games or related procedural generated games? I think DCSS would benefit from this, imagine designing entire levels so that they fit your character well. A common frustration between people that play Felid, draconians or Octopodes according to the dungeon crawl subreddit is that, a lot of armor that generate that they can't use. I think if we had better code or algorithms that targetted even something as basic as item generation based on class or race you play will make games more immersive for people that pick them. It's always weird when I play DCSS, and I am playing a human brigand or something and I see Centaur warding or armor that I can't wear. Some of the best games I have had are where the character that I play, gets items or environments or vaults that help my character progress, this means the correct spells, items, stat increases, enemies and so on.
I think Xbox Live subscriptions would counter this.

Xbox Live Subscriptions generated nearly $3 Billion in Revenue in 2021 for Microsoft. For services that are provided for free to PC players (meaning the overhead is pretty small).

Supporting PC players cost Microsoft money (servers, staff, etc). Xbox Live funds itself... and is a profit center for Microsoft.

Cutting off other consoles would definitely force a portion of the console-gaming population to purchase a new Xbox - or at least factor very heavily into the decision for which console to buy.

There are very few games that have as large of a player base as COD. Many other FPS titles have tried, including Battlefield. None even come close - so it would not be easy for Sony to "just make their own" either.
And a huge similarity: they are given power over people and routinely use this power to harm, rather than help heal. Our 4-yr old has police trauma from police coming to bother us about them playing outside naked because traumatized older people ignorant of other cultures won't stop calling them.

Instead of visiting those people, they harass a child and parents for something that's legal. The child has nightmare of police shooting them.

This isn't because of misunderstanding, but because the nature of these systems and the sick sm cultures involved. Not talking about it persists it.

Trying to keep conversations strictly on-topic is a form of putting on blinders. It's also a neurotypical conversation style.
Guess where prisoners get all those books they read? From family in the mail. Guess how they stay in touch with what is going on in the world. With magazine and newspapers. Oh, they are replacing that with free tablets? That is so nice. Wait... those tablets charge a per minute usage fee? Ah. They are free to have, but not to use. And of course, you have to pay EACH TIME you want to read the same book over on them, at a per minute fee, for people with an on average lower reading proficiency.

AI is often limited in ways we aren't, but it also trivially consumes more than we can in a lifetime.

"Just text" in the case of GPT-3, but also it is trained on a token count exceeding the number of times an average synapse in a human brain will fire in a lifetime.

It can still get biases from the training set; while I'm not sure if "group think" is quite the right phrase, it does seem to "want" everyone to get along even when asking it to create multiple characters engaged in a conflict. (Or perhaps that's just an artefact of it estimating that I want that). Reminds me — in a bad way — of Jules Verne's From The Earth to the Moon.

Yeah, it seems to me that the market benefits from having as many large third-party publishers as possible. I'd like to see Microsoft and Sony competing to make the most favourable platform for publishers and developers.

Even if the acquisition gets the go-ahead and Microsoft is able purchase Activision, I'd rather see them grow their own intellectual property and studio infrastructure. I think it'd benefit the industry, the medium, and consumers as a whole.
