“We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education.” -- 1970, Roger Freeman, a Hoover Institution economist and a key educational adviser to Nixon

https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ684842.pdf

Once elected, Mr. Reagan set the educational tone for his administration by

• calling for an end to free tuition for state college and university
students

• annually demanding 20 percent across-the-board cuts in higher education funding

• repeatedly slashing construction funds for state campuses

• engineering the firing of Clark Kerr, the highly respected president of the University of California

• declaring that the state “should not subsidize intellectual curiosity"

Reagan also tried to end department of education

Although I can’t remember exactly which beach—it may have been Copalis or Ruby, both on the Washington coast—from which a friend of mine and I took off and landed behind the point where we took off. A strong, and steady headwind off the Pacific Ocean combined with his highly-STOL-modified and terrifically over-powered Cessna 170 allowed us to take off nearly vertically, drift backwards from the takeoff point and set down 30-40 feet behind the takeoff point. This was in 1979 or early 1980.

The airplane, that the owner, Tom, called a “Cessna 170 BXP,” had a power-modified Continental TSIO-360 engine taken from the front of a Cessna 337 Skymaster, big drooped wingtips, and STOL flaps and ailerons modifications. The STOL mods included various aerodynamic seals between the wing skin and control surfaces and, most significantly, an aileron droop mechanism where the degree of droop was linked to the degree of flaps deployed to vastly increase the low-speed effectiveness of the ailerons.

It was on big tundra tires.

Aside, but 1,000 IQ is a funny number to me. I’m pretty sure that would be 60 standard deviations from a median human, which has a probability density on the order of 10^-700.

The Swiss Bundesrat (Alain Berset and Karin Keller-Sutter), Finma (Marlene Amstad), SNB (Thomas Jordan), UBS Group (Colm Kelleher) and CS (Axel Lehmann) will give a media conference at 19:30 Swiss time.

The fact that UBS is present should more or less confirm that there is a deal between CS and UBS.

Latest reports also state that the SNB is going to be providing 100B in liquidity to UBS if they need it.

The order is seemingly random. You can't reorder, pin favorites, or hide unwanted settings. Many things are buried deep in hierarchies.

Not to mention that iPhone Settings is based on a small, non-resizable window and a touch interface, neither of which are true of the Mac.

Or you don't host it but just keep it tight to your chest. No risk of any server being compromised then.

Professional companies that care about security (I do IT security consulting so that's the group I deal with the most) are not perfectly secure. I'd argue that it's less likely that a password database is abused when hosted on a random average-security system (assuming the person is not being targeted, like if you're not a public figure or have a stalker) than if you've got it hosted with some bigcorp that has a huge target painted on their back. Some are really good at security and others a bit less, but none are perfect, and scale dictates compromises between security and usability. Not everyone in the firm will be a security expert, and much as you try to isolate the vaults / source code / other security-relevant systems from them, they're how ransomware and other groups gain a foothold to work with.

I wouldn't trust my mom to set up a server secure enough for a password manager to be hosted on, but if you are comfortable around servers at all and follow normal guidelines, or use normal syncing software that is only encrypted to the server (so you pick and rely on a strong password for your vault file), you're more secure than when you use a third party and type that password into their website (even if, on a good day, the key stays local in your browser).
As far as is known, IA is poorly represented in existing LLM datasets. They don't allow indexing or scraping, so they don't show up in Common Crawl which is the starting point. (The occasional link to IA might show up, and someone processing CC might choose to follow it, but that's relatively unusual, aside from image links: most people focus on the text inside CC itself.) And their servers are quite slow & overloaded, so if you targeted them manually, your scrapers will be rate-limited, banned, or just incredibly flaky. They contain a lot of highly redundant snapshots, so they're a hassle to post-process. And much of what they contain is implied or covered by easier to get datasets. I also haven't seen any hints in either randomly-generated samples or prompted samples from GPT-3, ChatGPT, GPT-4, or other LLMs of signatures of IA snapshots like their book OCR or their HTML headers. So... yeah, it's possible, and I wouldn't be surprised if data-hungry LLMs like GPT-4 have or will start tapping into IA, but right now there's no real reason to think that.

Check out the Experimental Aircraft Association. If you have one in your city and you like planes definitely pay them a visit. It's a niche group of guys making their own planes and flying them and they are usually pretty excited about visitors. I went a few times and got on a couple of rides. They even offer free clases for those wanting to learn how to fly. Some of the crazy things I learned is that you can build your own plane for under $10K and if it is under certain weight, I believe 400 lbs, you can flight without a permit. Some planes feature a nice kit of avionics but some are completely manual, not even a radio. The stall speed of the ones I flew I believe is 45 mph and max speed about 80 mph but some little jets can go 200-300 mph.

> Having an open pro-information stance is all well and good, but when it is obvious that the people sending you information are doing so according to their own timetable, you have to take a higher stance. This is where journalistic ethics come into play

I think this is a well-articulated representation of a specific (and much more common) journalistic ethos, but he quite explicitly holds a different ethos that is much more radical about transparency.

Plus, this answers the opposite of my question: I asked how GP comment supports his claim that Assange's is "selectively truthful", and you responded by saying that he's not selective enough!

GP could have made an argument like the one you made, disputing the very foundations of Assange's open-information philosophy. What piqued my curiosity was his novel claim of unprincipled selectivity, and I charitably wanted to avoid the assumption that his comment was simply word-salad covering up a politically-motivated dislike of WL.
It will continue to be used by the same customers. Swiss Nationals who don't have much choice and the tax evadors /drug lords/dictators who again chose it because they don't have many options.
The legend of the Swiss Bankink System was based on this later type of customer because as quality of day to day service for normal people or business they have fallen far behind.
I was thinking Db2 might have been a little earlier but you're right. And it's fair that the earlier databases definitely lacked elements of what we'd consider a database management system today even if they handled a lot of the low-level database heavy lifting for companies.
As a Ukrainian I find your comments in this thread insulting. You should educate yourself a little about history of Ukraine before you start spewing such nonsense. I would suggest you to start with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJczLlwp-d8&list=PLh9mgdi4rN...

Now, I will assume you are just a misguided westerner who watches too much Fox news and indulge you:

> Ukraine is right on the russia's border.

So? How about US invading Mexico, occupying and annexing its lands, killing bunch of civilians while simultaneously demanding Mexico to "respect" US "sphere of influence", speak English, stop "threatening" it by committing to neutrality, etc.

> Their economies and cultures are intertwined.

Let them rape and indiscriminately kill bunch of civilians in some Bucha or other towns because of similar languages and economical ties? How does that make any sense to you? Also, claiming that Ukraine doesn't have its own historical roots and cultural identity is one of the Russian propaganda talking points.

> And their have been hostilities between the two

"Hostilities"? Excuse me? Russia occupied and annexed parts of Ukraine repeatedly but you dubbing it "hostilities" make it sound like some kind of a border skirmish where both parties are culpable which couldn't be further from the truth.

> since 2014 when the US formented a revolution there

Another Russian propaganda talking point. People were fed up with Yanukovich and decided to remove him from power. Support from US was inconsequential.

> I am not shilling for Russia

Yes you are! Openly and brazenly.

> peace agreement requires all parties to put everything on the table and deal openly

Well, yes, Russia would love Ukraine to put its lands "on the table", commit to neutrality, make Russian language the second national language and a lot more. And what exactly are the offering in return? To maybe stop attacking Ukraine for some time? Am I missing something?

> This could have happened.

It still can. Ukraine has been offering to solve the conflict through diplomacy as soon as Russia withdraw its forces. It is not like Ukraine is going to push into Russian territory to occupy Moscow and kill Putin. You understand that, do you?

Look, if you just prefer US to stop spending money on Ukraine you could just say so. Yes, this will lead to bunch of Ukrainians killed, raped or tortured in concentration (excuse me, "filtration"!) camps and you will feel somewhat bad for saying that, but at least it would be truthful. No need to play Tucker Carlson here with "border skirmishes" and "hostilities".
Well, that's a very small dose.
India Embraces Digital Payments over Cash, Even for a 10-Cent Chai
Yet you refuse to cite any sources at all, credible or otherwise. Interesting.

As for peace talks, here's Putin's take on that: "I'm going to rob your house tonight. I'd like to take 25% of your stuff, but if you'll agree to leave the door unlocked, we can probably get that figure down to 20%. If you agree not to call the police, I might even go as low as 15%. Sound fair?

Yes, there is a significant difference between compromising a device with physical access and stealing the device. Disk encryption for example is very effective against the latter, but useless against the former. Having devices stolen is also far more common than targeted physical attacks.

So right-wing media will ultimately save humanity? I didn't see that one coming.
Ugh..no it does not work that way.

You are thinking in hypotheticals like many developers do.

Most infostealer malware just exfiltratr your data and disappear before being detected do they can hit a lot of targets before commom av starts detecting them. People also accidentally disclose data, back it up on a usb drive and lose that drive, have their pc stolen,etc...

If you have keepass2 with a memory argon2 and a password/passphrase none of that is a concern.

Yes, the malware could also be a keylogger/RAT and you'd be screwed then. One the most important security mindsets to have is "perfection is the enemy of good", specific security controls exist to address specific threats/risk not to address arbitrary and and an unbounded number of possible threats.
I don’t think that’s fair. CS is a GSIB. We can wipe shareholders, but (unlike SVB) it’s a lot less clear what can be done with bond holders without threatening the stability of the global financial system. Probably the central bank will have to buy the bonds at a bargain and hold them to maturity.

GE is at it again.

GE's ABWR was less than successful with considerable operating difficulties. The ESBWR promised radically better cost and safety than previous BWRs because it depended on natural circulation and eliminated expensive parts like the main coolant circulation pumps.

The ESBWR got cancelled not long after the Fukushima accident which involved earlier-generation BWRs and dampened the world's interest in the BWR.

The BWRX-300, a scaled down reactor based on the ESBWR is getting a lot of press because it is making sales to Canada and Slovenia. GE is claiming it can be more economic than the integrated-steam generator PWRs like NuScale and China's ACP100. Can the BWR make a comeback?

Sadly there is not a lot of documentation out on the BWRX-300 yet.
This a personal pet peace of mind in science literature. Two things will be reported on as being bad for you using the same sort of language and affect public opinion. But if you actually read the study, one shows rare interaction reduces your lifespan by a decade and the other takes a lifetime of interaction to reduce your life expectancy by a month.
The wages are what's relevant with Baumol. It's possible rising wages of parents helped generate the administrative burden but 90% of the time it was the flood of cheap student debt via gov, every kid thinking they need to go to college, the massive boom in demand via international students, etc.

The fact university administrators responded to boom in demand/capital by hiring way more administrators is probably not directly a consequence of Baumol either. But it is why the costs of these administrators is so expensive, t
which is reflected in tution costs.

Maybe you could blame it because being a uni admin is an easy job to get with little actual output demanded of you, but you still get paid like a high productivity sector employee, so people flocked to it. And if they were paid a wage connected to their individual output they wouldn't be nearly as many of them and tuition costs could go down.

But the universities could also just fire 2/3rds of them and still function while paying the rest normal high wages.
If German chancellor or US president visited Russia, and there were enough desire to arrest them, they would be arrested. I don't see practical means to prevent it.

Similarly, if Putin visit Germany, there's no practical way he may avoid arrest if there's enough desire for it.

We however may argue that there actually will be desire to ignore the international court requirements, as in practice Germany, USA etc. don't really always follow the law. In general we can't say for sure what's going to happen. E.g. escalation is going on since at least February 24th, 2022, so the risk isn't a good argument why this can't happen.
> you have to take a higher stance

I think the higher stance is to report as a journalist and not exercise your own bias into when you choose to publish. And regardless, if you choose to delay it, your source will simply go to someone who won't. There's never an instance where it makes sense to delay, and it never makes sense to decline to write on reputable information, since it's not like wikileaks has a monopoly on journalism

Is this a reference to Victorians sending kids into coal mines to die of back lung, or something else? As a bonus, the tunnels didn't need to be so large.
A friend of mine, PhD in early childhood education, told me the contrary:
Toddlers instinctively know their limits and will not "bite more than they can chew", at least with gross motor skills.

My personal experience confirms this: for example, when teaching my young kid of 18mo to climb down stairs standing, I would stop holding his hands and observe his behavior. He would initially try to go down a step on his feet while holding the side rail, then hesitate and ask for my hand. If I told him to do it himself, he would instead sit down and slide down gently.

“Can answer” is doing a lot of work, too. I can write you a program that “can answer“ any question you throw at it. I can assure you the answer won’t be correct in most cases. This is a hyperbole for ChatGPT, but my point is that designing a system that can answer correctly, rather than can answer, is a far more worthwhile effort than retooling humans to be lie detectors, IMO.

We can see from how hard it is to find consensus on trivial topics (are eggs good for you?) amongst experts who study these matters day after day. And the public, who does not, is left confused. A great deal of the problems we face are too complex for the human mind to be able to decide which of several reasonable-sounding options is correct. This is especially true when there is no rationalization for answers given.

Look at our media system. How many people on both sides are stuck in “other side bad” simply because the talking heads on television networks tell them that, or someone on the internet wrote something. A lot of the content that drives them to conclusions isn’t even true. We are very poorly equipped to be vetting answers from a fallible machine.

Maybe I’m too old school, but I’d rather we learn how to solve the more complex problems so that we can do it and understand it rather than take guesses at which of a number of generated options is correct.
