"Distillation and amplification" is a somewhat popluar AI technique. For example if you have a chess engine with a heuristic to choose which moves to investigate, you can explore the 20 best paths according to your heuristic, see which moves ended in the best result, and use that to train the heuristic for the first move.

Doing the same thing with LLMs isn't out of the question, but for it to work well you need some kind of reward function that doesn't depend on the model you train. Training on LLM texts that humans conciously chose to publish might already provide that, you just have to somehow filter out the content farms that lack any human review.
My intuition tells me that it's probably a result of how young people meet these days. A lot of relationships start from dating apps, where it's kind of expected that men will make a first move and then women can filter through them.

It's been shown long ago that most men rate most women as above average (in attractiveness), whereas most women rate most men as below average.
This is part of it. Teen births are way down and women are delaying having kids until their 30s. But also, importantly, women are starting to earn at parity or out earn men, negating the need for a partner to support themselves. This is a cause of the imbalance I believe. The pool of potential female partners wasn’t great before for the age cohort, and empowered women shrink it further.

Also, men will date down, women typically don’t. So these higher earning, ambitious women are unable to find a partner that meets their expectations. Men are happy to (or if not happy to, can make do) exit the dating marketplace when this expectation mismatch occurs. There just aren’t enough women who want a low status low earning male partner.
As an avid hiker, who gets lost on trails ALL the time, even trails I hike regularly, I (and everyone should) never leave home without a trail map, compass, and offline maps of the area on your phone. The phone maps can help you pinpoint where on the physical map you are once you find yourself lost.

You need to learn the trail blazes BEFORE you set off, and most official trail maps have the blazes printed on them so you know you are on the right track. Buying an official trail maps also supports the trail maintainers.

"Now, the article also mentioned that he left the fire unattended, and that raises the question whether or not a signal fire could have been done with more care. But that is not at all what the court focuses on."

Yeah, I'm not saying the court decision is necessarily wrong, but the way they went about it seems wrong. They are focusing too much on stuff that doesn't matter - like a first aid kit.

Yeah, the amount is definitely an influential factor. However, it's probably based on actual cost to put out the fire. I'm not sure what the answer is to balance interests here. Should tax payers just foot the bill anytime someone accidentally starts a fire (reckless? Negligence? Etc too?) or needs to be rescued, or do we need to have personal insurance against these things and what does that cost? I'd say I'm generally against personal insurance for everyday life and definitely against mandated personal insurance for most activities as you can essentially regulate lawful activities out of existence and price out classes of people. A potential fix would be charging a low fee hiking pass that acts similar to insurance to help the governwment cover costs likely to arise from public use. Although I'm sure this has some concerns with use restriction and pricing people out of a public resource as well.

I mean, wouldn't you expect a gap in those numbers, purely from a biological perspective? If there's a biological cap on how old a woman can be and give birth, but there's no cap on how old a man can be and father a child, unless there's some truly odd stuff going on it seems obvious that this gap would exist. They even say that the shrinking of the gap over time is largely because of women having children early, not anything changing in men.
As usual, news outlets can't help themselves insinuating the model _contains_ these images. I feel like this partially an honest mistake, partially because otherwise the conclusion would be obvious and the article boring.

As a computational biologist, I've been struggling with performance issues on Ubuntu for months, which have made it difficult to work efficiently. Despite Ubuntu's popularity in academia, R runs much slower on Ubuntu than on my personal computer running Arch. This has forced me to do my work at home, where I have better performance. It's disappointing that Ubuntu's limitations are often assumed to be universal to Linux in academia, which can be a problem for those who require a more efficient system. I've tried troubleshooting the issue, but haven't found a solution yet, but just chock it up to Ubuntu just being more and more terrible
>mass layoff

Yeah, could be. They know there will be attrition because of this; the labor market is still really favorable to workers, and there's plenty of remote work.

I remember years ago when Garmin relocated its dev team from San Jose to Overland Park, Kansas -- paid relo! -- and lost a ton of devs in the process. Not many folks in San Jose are going to jump at the chance to move to Kansas, so they mostly ended up hiring locals in Kansas.

And, shockingly!, the software quality in Garmin devices started plummeting soon after. Weird.
I wonder did Google see a bit further ahead than MS?

By keeping the AI locked down and secret, out of public reach and accessible only via "products", Google may have actually been smarter, it gives Google a lot of advantages by drip feeding us only enough to keep us using their products and it hides some of the weirdness from us, like the LLM turning into a stalker for 20 minutes.

Obviously MS+OpenAI has maybe taken the "dumb" but effective in the short term path here and just given us raw access to the system without thinking very deeply through the consequences. Maybe they can polish it up in time and make us all become addicted to the product as it stands, let's see.
Here’s what we do:

- Kanban (no sprints)

- (45 min) Weekly grooming session

- Thrice weekly stand ups (async)

- (1 hour) Retro every two weeks (sometimes we skip it or it becomes a show-n-tell)

- (30 minute) 1:1’s monthly for seniors, every other week for juniors unless requested more frequently

- Optional (1 hr) themed mob sessions / office hours throughout the week. You bring a problem and the group that shows up will work on it with you. Seniors/IC’s are required to hold office hours at least once a week.

- NO OTHER MEETINGS; engineers are asked to block out their lunch/personal time and refuse any non-essential meetings. They have the right to request meetings be rescheduled to appropriate times or moved async.

- NO MEETINGS OF ANY KIND ON FRIDAYS
it is definitely surprising...a big change in last 5-10 years. Women actually dont prefer a v large age gap--less than men and on the order of 2-3 years. Age def explains some of this statistic but isnt enough to explain it all. This is probably also result of slight harem effect and of people categorising relationships differently (man thinks he is single, woman thinks its monogamous etc).

> This seems like that nightmare scenario on steroids.

I'm an oddball in that I'm using a U2F (for SSH) / webauthn (Google, domain name registrar, etc.) device on which the master key can be reset.

It's a tradeoff: I now better make sure nobody steals my "paper seed" in the real world and I better make sure I don't lose it [1]. But in exchange should I lose/break/someone steal my device (which is protected by a PIN btw), I can initialize a new one.

Now there are schemes (like m out of n) where you can distribute, say, part of the paper seed to several siblings/family members/friends or store a part in the safe at the bank, etc. Making it highly unlikely you'll ever lose access to your master paper seed (which is a list of 12, 18 or 24 words out of a vocabulary of 2048 words).

As a bonus the device has a tiny screen which tells you if you're registering to a new service or authenticating and tells you the name (if it's a known service, hardcoded in the device) and/or ID of the service you're authenticating too.

It is protected by a PIN.

It has a plausible deniability feature where you can unlock a fake master key.

And I can buy as many of them as I want and initialize them all with the same seed and then hand them to family members/friends/put one in the safe at the bank. They're all protected by a PIN anyway. So if my house burns down, I'm not sorry out of luck: I can be back in business immediately (i.e. without needing to order one, wait for it to arrive, then find back my paper seed and reinitialize it).

Originally it's a cryptocurrency hardware device but I don't care about that. The CTO of that company was part of the original FIDO alliance.

The device I use is a Ledger Nano S (cost $79 bucks or so) and I load one "nano app" on it, the "U2F" one (works for SSH and works for webauthn).

Now I don't know exactly what's going to happen now that Google, Microsoft and Apple are teaming up to embrace FIDO2 with their new "passkeys" standard (which AFAIU ain't 100% finalized yet).

From the testing I did it looks like Google removed the "counter" verification from their site, which allowed to detect cloned security keys. They used to check for clones, but don't anymore (or at least don't warn the user anymore). I'm nearly sure this removal of clone detection is related to the upcoming "passkeys" thinggy.

I don't know if the older U2F devices (which are compatible with Webauthn as Webauthn is only a server side protocol change) shall still be usable once the "passkeys" is finalized: if anybody has infos on this, I'm all ears.

Meanwhile SSH since 8.2 can use all U2F keys (including the Ledger Nano S) and that is a godsend already.

[1] although if I realize I lost my "paper seed" and I still happen to have my FIDO2 device (or any cloned one I prepared in advance), I can enroll a new device so I'm not totally screwed. And I'll had that many people using a security key that cannot be clone do still use "backup codes" they write down on a piece of paper, which is not safer than writing down a list of words allowing to reinitialize a FIDO2 device.
Yeah, I'm not saying the court's decision or the amount is wrong. I am questioning how they got to part of the decision, which may be likely to be used as case law against others. They are focusing a lot on the part about creating his own emergency with inconsequential stuff about not having a first aid kit. The pertinent part is how he lit up a tree an walked away.

The fact that he's fighting it shows he's not that willing to pay.
> I expect it would be more likely they’d just go straight to ASML and start building their own fabs.

Yeah, right. As if it is that simple. Just construct a building and put ASML machines inside and off you go.

> Correct me if I'm wrong (please), but don't we still lack any kind of fundamental definition of what dark energy/matter is other than..."the cause of the difference between what is calculated, and what is observed"?

Sure. You seem to take issue with this notion. However, this very strategy lead to the discovery of elementary particles (neutrino) and planets (Neptune) in the past. It's how science works.

> Obviously, I don't have an explanation myself, and I understand that we can only work with the evidence we have, but I think it's a sign we need to radically rework our basic assumptions about reality, and not just look for our missing keys...

This is an extremely common opinion among laymen (relevant: https://xkcd.com/1758/). I find it a bit patronizing, because it implies that scientists haven't considered everything under the sun to explain the observations. Please take it from me, who got a PhD in cosmology, that every single person I encountered during my graduate studies was extremely bright, in particular the professors. They have thought of everything a layman can think of a billion times over. The knowledge gap in a field as unintuitive as cosmology between a professor and a layman is basically that of an adult and a toddler.

That's not saying that dark matter or dark energy is beyond any doubt, just that "we need something radically different" is not a very helpful take. You're basically saying "We just need another Einstein", except better data is harder and harder to come by. It's not sufficient anymore to just observe the perihelion shift of mercury. We now need to do things like measure the shapes of billions of galaxies to make any progress, and hope that the billions of galaxies we can observe (there is an upper bound) will yield sufficient precision to even tell two theories apart. We need to build gigantic particle accelerators and build humongous particle detectors in the antarctic to even hope to make some progress.

With a background in the highest-ranking caste, you would of course be the least able to notice those things.

A man who is financially autonomous, practices basic hygiene and grooming, wears tasteful clothing, and approaches women with respect and manners has nothing to worry about. You don't need to make 6 figures, to be 6 feet tall, to have the body of The Rock or 2004 Brad Pitt's face. Having one interesting hobby is also a huge plus, even if it's as simple as hiking or jogging. You just need to be minimally interesting.

Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately for those among us who fit in the above, many men fail on one or more of these points. The trueoffmychest and TwoXChromosomes subreddits are full of horror stories about unkempt or disrespectful men.

> I find it kind of funny that humans are so confident that our models of reality are correct that we truly think it's more likely there's just hidden "stuff" than there's just something hugely wrong with our idea of what the universe really is, and how it works.

That's not how it works.

Many a physics PhD has spent their career trying to come up with better models, including different sorts models of gravity or indeed "to radically rework our basic assumptions about reality,".

Surprisingly, physics professors aren't idiots and have thought of this. It's just that, so far, invisible matter is still the thing that best fits the data compared to the (non-overfitted) modified gravity models people have been able to come up with so far.

I remember reading an article about a young engineer that deleted a production database on his first day.

He feared that he'd be fired, but his boss effectively said, "We just learned a quarter million dollar lesson, why would we fire you?"

This judge should use this as a moment for public education, and an opportunity to update and clarify trail guides. Instead, it's a vindictive and punitive judgement.

$1k fine and do a PSA about hiking safety -- that's plenty fair. The guy had rhambo for crying out loud, he had legitimate reason to fear for his life.

But with this, the lesson learned is "if you ever get lost, remember, it's your fault for not preparing enough, and it might be better to just die".

1) I'm not brahmin. I'm Vaishya. And my last name makes that extremely obvious.

2) It's not obvious what caste you're from. What is obvious is where in india you're from, what college you're from (indians care a TON about college rank), what cultural upbring you had. It's far more likely to get discriminated on that.

Again, you're taking your knowledge of American politics and applying that to India.

India has a far richer history (thousands of years vs. 250 years) and far more areas to discriminate over.

There is another bug here...

If the plane was told how much weight was onboard, and it knows what throttle it was at... then it should know what acceleration it was expecting.

If it accelerated slower than expected, then there must be something wrong! So abort the takeoff...

Planes should have alerts for this kind of thing. If, 1 second after throttle is applied, the plane hasn't achieved the predicted speed, then the takeoff should be aborted - by this stage, you'll be well under the maximum abort speed, so you can stay safely on the ground and figure out whats wrong. Being overweight is just one possible cause - it might instead be that an engine isn't producing sufficient thrust, and that would probably doom the plane.
