but

> If the text seems to invoke orbital mechanics, it will output discussion-of-orbital-mechanics-y text

Do you mean that if the same problem is asked in a way that invokes orbital mechanics, then the answer will be correct?

IIRC the Celeron chips coming out of the fabs tested better than Intel expected with far more of the batches being rated as stable as higher-spec units. This lead to a shortage of cheaper units that people were trying to buy and an excess of faster units that people didn't want to pay for. To avoid both missing sales and having a lot of stock sat in warehouses, many batches of Celeron chips that had tested fine to be sold as the faster models were binned with those that were only rated for the slower speeds. This meant that if you were lucky you could safely overclock the cheaper units by officially extravagant amounts, without extra special cooling arrangements or other hacks, and many did.

You could tell (at least initially, I'm not sure if Intel changed this later) from part of the product code that you definitely had one of the units from a batch that tested fine at the higher speeds, so it wasn't that much of a gamble either.

We referred to them as Silly-ron CPUs.
Med-PaLM has been tested on a number of public benchmarks, and the results published. A useful comparison would have been to test GPT on the same set of benchmarks. Yet the paper we're discussing offers just one datapoint by way of a numerical comparison, literally in a footnote.

Basically, the comparison needs to be a lot more comprehensive to be useful.
Because it's not what you thing and doesn't solve the problems most companies have.

Firstly jsonld is only a format for serializing semantic metadata, nothing more, so it only specifies how you can attach that metadata, but not what exctly can be attached in what way with what subtle meanings.

Secondly it's one of this very generic tools which "can solve everything" but in practice often
only make things more complicated as long as you don't have enough very complicated (and matrue!) tooling around it.

And that's where the problem lies, the availability and maturity of this tooling is limited and awareness or experience about which tooling is good and mature and which isn't often is missing too.

So it's easy to end up with adding a lot of complexity with very little gain, hence why most avoid it. Through some companies had success with it, but their are often on the size of SAP or similar.

> This expandable graph seems like the purest representation of all data in a company.

Yes, but requires you to have all the data in the right format correctly annotated, correctly maintained and changed and available often non of this is true.

> Imagine hovering over a UI element and seeing who implemented it and when

This would need a proper integration of json-ld in the version manager and development flow, project manager, and probably more. There is a good chance that whatever tooling you use has not integration for any of this points, not even considering that you then still need to bind the data together (query) in a usable performant way which might having a non graph db for caching common queries etc. Each of this points being likely a non trivial sub project, one which most companies wouldn't want to afford for some minor benefit like having such a tooltip in a UI builder.

Now if everyone would always support the semantic web, and would agree on common annotations for all kind of metadata (far beyond the scope of the jsonld spec) and would add accessible apis based on this to their product etc. _then yes it would be grate_.
To the understanding of space, while it certainly has gaps, I've had GPT4 do basic graph layout by giving it (simple) Graphviz graphs in and asking it to generate draw.io xml out and telling it to avoid overlapping nodes and edges.

Even if they didn’t or couldn’t control for certain factors it doesn’t mean that the study is useless.

Familial history is likely not a good excuse since there would be a very broad population even in a single branch.

Behavioral factors are still very much relevant because you can use it for a public health policy, if smoking and drinking is worse in the military than in the general population then it’s something that you can definitely try to address.

Another factor that can play here is that servicemen have probably better healthcare than the average population especially when it comes to preventative healthcare and checkups.

So whilst this study isn’t enough to identify causation it’s enough for correlation which is quite often as important when it comes to public health policies.

That's exactly what we are building at Field 33[0] with a package manager for ontologies (Plow[1]) as an underpinning to get a good level of flexibility/reusability/colaboration on all the concepts that go into your graph.

------

> Why isn’t semantic web more popular inside companies?

As part of building Field 33 we obviously also asked ourselves that question.
My rough hypothesis would be that ~10 years ago semantic tech didn't provide tangible enough benefits, and since then got left behind in the dust by non-semantic tech.

That caused a tech chasm that widened and widened, where the non-semantic side became a lot more accessible with quasi-standards (REST) and new methods of querying data for frontend usage (GraphQL), while the status quo of the semantic web space is still SPARQL (a query language full of footguns). Same thing goes for triple stores (the prevalent databases in the space) that roughly go through the same advancements as RDBMs, just at a much slower pace.

It also doesn't help that most work being done in the space comes from academia rather than companies that utilize it in production scenarios.

There is quite a nice curated list of problems/papercuts about the semantic web/RDF space[2].

Overall, despite the current status quo, I'm quite optimistic that the space can have a revival.

So... If you say the correct words, they will understand them correctly? That seems hardly an achievement, if I may say so.
This is the correct answer but it is worth pointing out copyright being spelled out specifically in the first amendment recognizes that this is something that he government would normally not have authority to enact because it goes against more fundamental rights. The first amendment also restricts the authority of the government when it comes to copyright by requiring it to be done "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts" and for the aritificial monoboly to be "for limited Times". It isn't clear that the current implementation of copyright still falls within either of these limitations.
1. Why do you think 'whataboutism' is a bad thing? It is comparison. Comparison is a fine tool for reasoning about policy. Not the end of the conversation, but something to consider.

2. The corruption of EU politicians is a major concern. If they think so little of privacy that they are willing to vote for laws like this, then they should certainly have to defend why they get any privacy at all. Corruption in government is one of the most damaging things happening in our society, and total surveillance would make it easier to detect & prove when they are lying.

To be clear, this is how most chips work today. Intel, Nvidia and AMD make entire lineups of CPUs and GPUs with only a handful of different chips, the only difference being features fused off (either because the silicon doesn't handle them well or because they need market segmentation).

That's an excellent observation, but I suspect it will get much more difficult as the ratio between volume and surface gets dominated by volume.

Not that cryonics are necessarily in a better position about that, so I guess for comparison between those methods the point stands regardless.
Mining a Few Thick Desires
I would suspect the team making this tool is not exactly the same team maintaining S3...

So adding "server side operations" would require work from the other team to be added.. which certainly could be done if they decided it was needed.

As a first MVP release this project seems neat for read use cases.. and feedback from the community can help ensure read operations are solid while they are also working on the write side -- which they admitted was lacking in this initial release, but want to improve.

How can you possibly be this cynical?

There are bad actors and corruption in every political system. But different systems and different implementations of them have different levels of these.

I would say most governments do an OK job (compared to say 1000 years ago, or compared to what any bloody revolution could do within 10 years), given how difficult the task is of governing a lot of people with vastly different interests and opinions. There is also still a lot of room for improvement. If you don't like the way your government works, try to improve it. Be part of it. Saying everything is corrupt no matter what is completely useless. I also doubt it makes you feel better overall, at least any longer than the moment you take to write such a comment.
If you look a bit deeper though; you'll find that greed can lead to good and bad outcomes. People make decisions because in some sense they feel like they will profit personally. That is basically the same as saying they do things for reasons. We know that most people aren't especially principled because they are regularly tested and don't make principle-based decisions. Nevertheless there is a great deal of good in the world.

Corporations are greedy, but they operate in a world where it is hard for them to enrich themselves without enriching others too.

Interview with Alex Martelli (2003)
Coleridge's "Kubla Khan" has a very coherent structure. Two movements of the poem are each divided into three sections; in both cases the middle of those three in turn has three subsections and again, the middle of the middle has three subsections. The first movement ends with "A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice," a line which is then repeated at the structural midpoint of the second movement. This structure encompasses both semantics and sound, uniting both in a single coherent mental act. The semantics of the poem’s first movement involves a series of cognitive blends in which the neural self provides one input while Xanadu imagery provides the other. The semantics of the second movement involves manipulating the reality status of successive mental spaces. Underlying the entire poem is a “walk” by core brain mechanisms tracing territorial, sexual, and attachment patterns through the poem’s semantics. Coleridge’s 1816 preface embodies an abstract pattern that paradoxically asserts and denies the poem’s validity. On the internal evidence, the poem is whole and complete.

LZW was claimed by Unisys for many years. It wasn't Ziv's fault, it wasn't even Welch's, but it does highlight that compression has historically been a garbage fire of patent harassment. I certainly think it has held the field back.

The first time getting laid off or fired is always scary and stressful. I know this sounds trite and stupid, but try to _relax_. Now is the time to start thinking strategically, and you'll have a harder time doing that while pumped full of adrenaline.

Your full time job is now to find a job (or more specifically: ways to bring in money). That means 8h a day of concerted job search. The market is not favorable atm, but it's also not anywhere near impossible. I got laid off twice while living on a farm (30m from the nearest gas station), but always managed to find something remote, even if it was sometimes suboptimal (and this was before remote was really a thing).

Think of the different ways you can make money. Perhaps reach out to your network to see if any consulting gigs are coming up. One-off projects have a tendency to go over, or turn into other projects. Maybe something international will work, even if the work hours end up being a bit lopsided? Of course keep at the regular employment game as well, but now you need to be thinking creatively. Yeah, you could work at a pizza joint or something, but chances are also pretty high that these smallish businesses are having computer troubles that you could fix for a reasonable fee.

You have skills and knowledge, and those are valuable to businesses in the right context.

Next up is saving money. Most people can save an incredible amount of money on food by changing how they cook.

There's a reddit for living frugally. I forget the exact name, but there's lots of good advice to be had.

AWS Client VPN breaks it just by having ever run, even if not currently active, as it sets `sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=0` 'for you'.

My suspicion is that since you pay for client connections, they don't want you running a single bastion client and having your real clients connect via that. But it's annoying, and if you really wanted to do that, you only have to edit the script, or set it back on a schedule/after starting up the client.
One thing I've never understood about SSH certificates for client identification - it looks like it causes the requirement that _at some point_ ssh private keys and the certificate private key need to both be in the same place?
