> If you could find a way to somehow intercept without requiring aliasing, this would be amazing.

I figured out while testing that `boxxy sh` works as expected, so I would imagine you can wrap any shell in it since it’s just a mount namespace.

> Also, as it is, isn't it problematic that programs might call others (outside of your shell, not respecting its aliasing).

Nope! Any spawned processes live inside the same mount namespace and see the same pretend view of the world.

Stick a pin in your finger.

That pain is what knowing something means.

Philosophically we're talking about embodied qualia, which is how humans experience objects and more basic sensations.

Language happens later - much later.

The defining property of a bag isn't that you can put things in it. Like language that comes later. The defining properties are how it feels when you hold it, when you open it, the differences in sensation between empty/partially empty/full. And so on.

An LLM has no embodied experience, so it has no idea what a bag feels like as a set of physical sensations and directly perceived relationships.

Failure to understand embodiment has done more to hold back AI than any other philosophical error. Researchers have assumed - wrongly - that you can define an object by its visual properties and its linguistic associations.

That's simply not how it works for humans. We get there after a while, but we start from something far more visceral - so much so that many fundamental linguistic abstractions are metaphors based on the simplest and most common qualia.
> Why people still use those spying, ad serving services and then complain about it is beyond me.

Because they don't pay for services. Microsoft and Google both provide a paid version that is ad-free. Regardless of the version, neither use your emails for ad-serving or "spying".

There are plenty of things we should be critical about w.r.t Microsoft and Google, but this ain't it.
It’s hard to watch it happen over and over again. I think it’s because they /want/ something to be a certain way regardless of reality.

The carbon footprint idea seems flawed to me. It always just depends how far you look. There are machines making machines making machines and so on, the chain is really long and those early machines in the chain, which may have been necessary to create given product, may not even exist anymore. They might have existed before the product was even invented.

Note that the whole idea was mostly popularized by BP [1][2].

What flavor of EE would you even get[1]? Power EE? Useless for software development. RF EE? Useless for software development. Microelectronics EE? Useless for software development. Chip design (analog or digital) EE? Useless for software development. Digital design EE or CompE? Slightly useful if you're doing IoT/embedded systems but that's a tiny sliver of jobs in an ocean of web front end and back end jobs. You get the picture.

If you get an EE/CompE degree but go into software, 1) future EE/CompE employers will assume that you weren't lucky enough or good enough get a job as an EE out of college (the job market isn't exactly hot for engineers and never has been) and 2) your EE/CompE knowledge will atrophy rapidly from disuse because almost no software jobs outside a few specialties require frequent use of that knowledge.

To me, "lossy compression" vs "Partial knowledge compression" sounds like six vs a half-dozen. Whatever you call it, I think the author was writing more about how we perceive the results generated from a language-compression model vs an image compression model.

The path of the plane is a static curve in 4-dimensional space, yes.

But the plane is not located at any point in the 4-dimensional space, and the position in 4-dimensional space that it doesn't have is not changing over time. Both of those things are required before you can describe the plane as "moving" within the space.

There is no secret backup time that will allow you to track the plane's hypothetical motion along an explicit time dimension. That's not a thing.

I do think there's a big cultural difference. I've worked over a decade each in the UK, Australia, and now the US. In the UK and Australia, it was very common to hang out with colleagues socially, but I see it rarely in the US. Maybe it has to do with the "pub culture" in the UK and Aus, and a few beers after work being common, which it doesn't seem to be in the US (at least where I've lived - places with a 'bar scene' like New York may be quite different).

I may be biased due to getting older and having a family, so I'd expect to hang out after work less anyway, but I observe that generally amongst younger colleagues too.

From an evolutionary/physiology standpoint, human bipedal locomotion freed up our forelimbs/arms such that "limb assisted pointing" became possible/practical. Perhaps why elephants seem to grasp human pointing is because their trunks serve as a similarly "free" limb that they can use to point at things. Sort of like convergent evolution, but behavioral rather than morphological...

Carcinogenesis induced by space radiation: A systematic review
You have missed my point. The formulation of 2nd law I'm talking about is stating something about all pairs of two MACROstates A,B, not MICROstates, such that B reliably succeeds A after intervention. This pair of MACROstates is not assumed unique, there are hugely many, but formulating the argument uses a single pair. (I'm not a native speaker so don't get distracted by possibly incorrect use of the definite article).

The problem with your handwavy argument about macrostates with higher multiplicity is not due to 2nd law being a probabilistic claim. The problem is that it is not clear from that argument alone why it applies to future states, but it does not apply to the past states. To address that, another assumption is needed, such as the asymmetric relation between my macrostates A,B.

On the other hand, I gave thunderbird a try after switching to linux and found their UI so bad that it was harming usability. After the app had finished taking up the screen with various controls, settings and the list of messages, there was a tiny window left over to read the email itself, and it seemed like the threading of messages was basically broken. It wasn't that it looked old exactly that bothered me (although it did), but that I was buried in a mountain of jank from the start.

I quickly found a new client, but not one I love. If thunderbird does get a UI overhaul I'd give them another chance, and it sounds like they're moving towards a UI that I at the very least would prefer.
It's far easier to optimize for profit then theoretical ideals. The issue here isn't that they are optimizing for profit, the issue is that incentives have put that pursuit at odds with the university's core mission (education/community), as opposed to keeping it aligned with it.

Pursuit of profit should keep you accountable for the services you provide, not detract from them.

It will be less stable, but I think I agree with your analysis ( and in real terms, when was it really stable .. 50s? ). Oddly, I think it may only add to the 'Previous team didn't know what they were doing. Fix it.' vicious cycle. In a sense, companies will be re-inventing the big 3 consulting companies.

It is not just just English and skill set that is the issue. In my neck of the woods, I just dealt with otherwise really smart data guy, who was giving me something that clearly did not make sense in the business context - not everything can reasonably be placed in a requirement ( assume earth is not flat ).
Novolin/ReliOn is nowhere near that expensive. I skimmed it, but report you are citing appears to be averaging the price of insulin types. So if there is a cheap rapid and an expensive rapid, it ignores that somebody can buy the cheap one. That averaging distorts the price of available traditional insulin dramatically.

https://www.goodrx.com/healthcare-access/research/how-much-d...

It is more expensive in the United States because the US is subsidizing the earnings requirements the companies who make the drug require to develop new variants. At a high level, everybody pays insurance, it gets funneled into high drug prices, high drug prices pay shareholders and fund R&D. It's capitalisms version of socialized drug creation, and the rest of the world benefits from the US overpaying.

I think it's important to distinguish between knowing the language and knowing anything about the stuff being discussed in the language. The top level comment all this is under mentioned knowing what a bag is or what popcorn is. These don't require computational complexity, but do require some other data than just text, and a model that can relate multiple kinds of input.

Latent reservoirs are super interesting. They've seen in experiments that they keep copies of all of the HIV strains that infected people go through (HIV is one of the viruses with the highest mutation rates).

My take is that most regexes are easier to read than the alternative code. You do have to step through them and think about what they match, but the same is true for any other code.

Regex101 is there to make it easy to debug regexes. It would be MUCH harder to debug a complex parsing function than a regex with Regex101.

I don't even understand the idea here. You need a compiler for the regex. Why would someone that doesn't trust compilers use regexes?

Are you thinking of misc. sync errors here (auth issues, temporary downtime, etc.) or API changes?

For API changes: It's not super scalable but I've used a changelog monitoring chat (Slack/Zulip/Discord) channel. Automated notifications for changelog updates for all integrated APIs. Maybe there's an assigned person for each integration and that person scans the changelog updates for their assigned services then emoji reacts to the notification messages when they have been reviewed and cleared (they create issues for required changes or confirm no changes needed).
Just a side note: I have two carts and one of them rarely follows where I am pointing. The other one aways does. And he seems to recognize a good 100 words.
