Collapse posits truly random events, but there are many deterministic theories. In the end it doesn't really matter though- even if apparent collapse is caused by decoherence, you still subjectively experience winding up in one of them. There are other theories (Bohm comes to mind) that are entirely deterministic without decoherence, but they rely on a random seed and non-local hidden variables.
If you think your own country is in bad enough shape that it could be next on a list that includes Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya as they were just prior to US involvement you need to have a good long think about fixing your own problems fast.
Each of those countries might have been "stable" by some definition of the word, but they all had pretty crappy organizations monopolizing power. US interference certainly didn't fix their underlying problems but it did dislodge the badguys on top. (unfortunately, often just leaving the spot open for some other badguys because aforementioned underlying problems)

Realistically, the next country on the US hitlist is probably Iran, not your latam home country. But first the American public needs to get back it's war appetite, and the shooting in Ukraine needs to simmer down (probably within a year, along new borders that are pretty close to what the current battle lines are), and China needs to not distract us by starting with Taiwan.
I love the earlier, even more minimal pieces like Music With Changing Parts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uy_Ag7ETA4

And I love the parallels to things like I Am Sitting In A Room by Alving Lucier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAxHlLK3Oyk (If you're not familiar with this piece, it might be worth reading about it first - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Sitting_in_a_Room)

I hesitate to say this because it depends on your tastes, but I'd recommend setting aside the time to listen to these beginning to end if you can. You'll probably feel a bit fidgety for the first 10 / 15 minutes, but in my view it's really worth persevering because I find the payoffs are worth it.

"Own your own stuff" - Joan Jett's advice to new musicians.
Well you'd need a lot more than an Internet independent of the US. The same US cultural influence was prominent before the Internet became popular. You'd either need a new super popular language apart from the globally popular English, and or you'd need English to decline substantially (this would decimate the US cultural output/reach/influence).

It's worth noting that a variation of language collapse may be occurring. The English speaking part of the US is imploding (aging demographics, fentynal, Covid, mediocre healthcare for the bottom 1/2, etc), the Spanish speaking part of the US is rapidly taking marketshare (immigration being the only thing keeping the US population afloat). You can expect some decline in US cultural power accordingly, as Spanish is less popular globally than English (and far less potent as an entertainment, media force).

The EU will indeed end up more or less making their own Internet. That's happening gradually. Their own rules, laws, beliefs are increasingly governing their slice of cyberspace (and anything in tech broadly). That separation will only get wider. Over time, the laws governing the EU Internet end up making it quite distinct from the US Internet, from the Chinese Internet, from the Russian Internet, and so on (as different as the physical spaces are today, at least).
Culture can still thrive without being nationalist or traditionalist or whatever you call it.

What would people think if there was an american movement to stop using foreign loan words in English because they're diluting our culture?

I live in Quebec, Canada, where there is extreme policing of the French language, including various unconstitutional legislation to "preserve" French (the Canadian constitution has an override clause). It's a purely populist measure that does nothing for culture. I find it ironic but typical how much Quebec focuses on superficial cultural aspects (language) while hardly engaging at all with real questions of celebrating heritage - and other than the language, the culture is way closer to english canada than anything European.

Anyway, these language things are shallow populist measures to whip up a base, they're not about serious stewardship of cultural identity.
> Taiwan was only "unified" (if you can call the China of that era "unified") with the mainland for about 4 years since 1895 and even that ended close to 75 years ago.

I will admit to having only a highly cursory knowledge of the history, but I was under the impression the PRC/ROC split was directly connected to the ascendance of the Communists; they drove the Nationalists to the sea but were unable to achieve a complete surrender because their enemies remained holed up in Taiwan.

How can you say "an independent Taiwan must be preserved" without making it sound to both the Chinese state and people like "You can never finish the job your grandparents started?" or worse yet "you sold out our national pride and honour for shiny economic baubles?"
I find that there is too much of an emphasis on open-addressing in blog articles and such.

There are a lot of real and common data structures where chaining is much better suited.

For example whenever you have data part of one or multiple other node-based data structures, and you layer an index on top of that.

Chaining also tends to waste a lot less memory.
I'm writing on Substack now, because I really like the ecosystem at this point. But I'm also well aware that they could tank it like Medium did, or close up shop at any point. So I have a recurring task in my issue tracker to make a full backup. One of the reasons I'm willing to build on Substack at this point is because of the ability to dump the most meaningful data - subscribers and posts.

That said, the dumped data is not in a format that can be just uploaded to a different platform, or to my own site. That's not an issue for me, because I can write a little code that will transform the posts exactly how I need them for upload to a different platform, or my own site. When I end up needing to do this, I'll probably add custom styling that will look better than Substack's anyway, particularly in reference to code blocks.

I feel for nontechnical people. How do you decide where to invest your time? What do you do when the platform shifts in a bad direction, or closes entirely? AI tools will probably help a lot of people in this situation, if they were good about maintaining backups in the first place. I imagine "Can you convert my Substack archive to a format that will work on x_new_platform" would probably be a useful prompt.
Simply?

Cancer is because cells do not copy their data exactly - sometimes because the copying process is imperfect and introduces faults, and sometimes because viruses introduce faults.

There is a stupidly large number of different copying faults, so there is a stupidly large number of possible types of cancer. Cancer is entirely dissimilar to many other diseases of the body.

To cure cancer requires either preventing all copying faults, or detecting all copying faults and fixing them. This is hard - essentially requires completely replacing the normal cell splitting process, and/or the DNA checking process.

Removing viruses from our environment would help reduce some cancer problems.

Also note, old age is in large part due to telomere shortening: that is a process evolved to help fight against cancer growth (many cancerous cells reproduce and are then killed by apoptosis due to reaching a fixed number of cell reproductions).
If you want to strive to achieve something in your personal life that's fine but that's rarely what these discussions are about.
I actually dig this film, it didn’t bore me until the very final stretch. (Much like a Philip Glass work.)
Again, you're not disagreeing with the OP here. Basically the argument chain has gone like

1. "women only make 70 cents for every dollar a man makes!"

2. "actually, when you account for various factors, women make about the same amount as a man does. it's just that women have different job preferences compared to men"

3. you: "yeah but those preference are due to women having to raise babies and do chores"

I can see why someone might think it's unfair that a women gets paid less because she has to take care of children and do chores, but at the same time that's a separate issue than the original question of pay inequality. It's pretty hard to argue for why a women should get paid less than a man for the same job, but it's at least plausible to think why someone who's working less (because they're taking care of children) should get paid less.
OP here: I've taken down the service permanently. Cheers.
From the article i understood it goes deeper. It includes all official communication like job offers - not limited to public institutions.

See https://rentry.org/Jarted I'm not sure if it's 4chan but it appears to be some chan.

When I was working on solving the mmap() problem in https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/91 (that issue tracks the full history) I originally wrote a malloc() hack to prove zero latency load times could work. But I thought we should hold off and wait until we could fix the file format before merging anything into master.

A week or so later, an anonymous GitHub user called Slarin pointed out something really smart. He said the 7B model only has 1D tensors, so we could bring the benefits of mmap() to 7B users right away. My file format change would have solved it for all models. But it wasn't ready yet. So when Slarin asked me to abandon my mmap branch, start over, and use his change as the starting point, I said sure. Since that would have ensured users of the project get some benefit as soon as possible. And we could iterate.

So Slarin and I collaborated on Discord. I had a really positive impression. As far as I knew, everything was fine. Slarin made a pull request, which he kept in draft mode. The work he was doing was basically to (1) call mmap() to load the full weights into memory, and (2) update the tensor->data instead of calling read() if the tensor was 1D. The issue is he Slarin got blocked on getting the WIN32 support to work. He had difficulties getting it to not crash. And by the time he was blocked, I had already finished rewriting the file format and data conversion tools. So I said, since I'm done with the full change, just push whatever you did to your PR branch, and I'll just rebase on that, I'll fix your WIN32 code, and then we'll merge our commits as part of the same PR. That PR was https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/613 where I was very careful to recognize and document all of Slarin's contributions, which are now reflected in the master branch.

Slarin agreed, and told me "it looks like you've got this situation handled" and then left. We haven't seen him on the Discord since. I honestly had no idea he was so unhappy about the way things went. It really bums me out, because I have no way of ensuring people stay happy if they don't tell me they're unhappy. It appears, based on the link above, that Slarin felt I had put him in charge of the mmap() contribution and that the change belonged to him because his work was going to be its genesis once merged in the master branch. After the contribution went viral, he probably felt I didn't do enough to give him credit (I'm not exactly sure how to credit an anonymous developer more than I did?) and as a result he went to an online forum to ask a troll brigade to give justice.

The fallout of that "chan" troll brigade, is what you see here. They've also been going after my Wikipedia page among other things. I'm probably never going to work with an anonymous person again. I'm a public figure. I live with the sword of damocles hanging over my head. The power that gives anonymous people over me is really quite huge. The consequences here have damaged my reputation and career. And I don't even know who I'd reach out to if I wanted to mediate this. Quite a shame.
Yeah, it was shocking here in Stockholm when there were BLM protests in 2020.

What would your alternative to government money management be? Corporations have frequently shown themselves to be bad at managing money - just look at our history of bailouts.

Not to say governments are particularly good at it either, but there's at least the opportunity for better alignment of incentives and transparency there, unlike with corporations.
In my country there used to be a government-owned airline with a monopoly. Tickets were so expensive that only the wealthy could afford them (yet somehow the airline still lost money). Then the market was thankfully deregulated. Competition substantially lowered the prices, and gave people the freedom to choose which airline to fly on.

Intelligence is correlated with brain size, not just in humans, but also between species. No physical law prevents us from building the equivalent to a house sized brain. Perhaps not even a moon-sized brain. The only real limit seems to be mass (we don't want the whole thing collapse under its own weight) and signal delay due to the speed of light.
Can’t we view it as new notation creates new mathematics? A placeholder symbol vs an actual number doing the same thing and more (discovery of zero as a number).

The new mathematics at least could be initially tiny, and then the notation provides the leg work for huge forthcoming discoveries.
"This is the kind of important government regulation that makes for a productive use of parliament time and the votes of the people"

What is a "productive" use of the votes of the people is up for debate. I am not ashamed to say that I am all for strong regulations that preserve the use and dignity of local customs and traditions (when those customs and traditions don't affect the life and freedom of others, cruelty etc.).
It isn't a bad take to the extent that society doesn't accept this.

I had to care for two relatives from my mid-20s, almost every employer and prospective employer has had a massive issue with this. I worked somewhere where employees would knock off throughout the day for their kids, the boss would disappear every Friday afternoon, I took no holidays, no days off, my mother had a stroke and I had to take her to the hospital, I did this in my lunch hour, came back an hour late...lost my job.

I agree with you completely, it is going to be a bigger and bigger issue because parents will start dying more slowly than my relatives but in the West there is a massive stigma against caring for your parents (this is most bizarre because the govt expects you to look after your parents...my relatives didn't get care until a few years ago because I was expected to do things, my employer had a very different interpretation of my responsibilities).

It is unfortunate being forced to pick, I am in my early-30s now, career has gone. I don't regret one second of it, strong family ties are a tremendous comfort even if you are only giving care. But it is frustrating because you get a pass for kids, and not for parents. I understand I can't have a high-flying career but it is just a wasted opportunity. The reality is that the article reflects a viewpoint that already exists (there are structural reasons too, it isn't possible to have high labour mobility and people with multiple caring responsibilities...it doesn't work).
So a single-cell protozoa is more intelligent than GPT-4, then. This definition doesn't seem to be very useful?

You must have bad luck. Many middle managers are previous ICs who are still trying to pay the bills -- they're not automatically bad people. Consider also that bad companies hire bad people -- so maybe you could consider that as well.

My experiences with management have been pretty positive. But I am biased: if my situation sucks -- I leave. Perhaps you stayed longer than you should have...

I love the world adopting English b/c it makes it easier for everyone to communicate with each other no matter where they're from. If we could achieve a global default language and adopt metric units everywhere I think that'd be a huge boost in communication and efficiency and a plus for the world.

I guess it depends on whether the amount of effort applied to solving the problems is proportional to the severity of the problems.

On this side of the Atlantic, we have a catastrophic opioid epidemic, crumbling infrastructure, inflation and recession, failing national and state-level institutions, mass shootings, growing income inequality, race- and class-warfare, and out-of-control policing. But what are ~50% of our politicians currently focusing on? What genitals people have and what bathroom they should be allowed to go in.
I agree. Also as a person who tried to contribute to open source projects, I understand the pressure Jart had to put all his changes into 1 big change instead of splitting it up to pieces: there's always a power asymmetry that favors the project maintainer by default as he's getting more famous (which happened to Greg).

If Jart would have tried to do everything the ,,proper way'', this change wouldn't have had this visibility, and he would have had much harder time to change the memory layout in the file.

I think things are going great, I just wish people would be able to not care about the negative feedback part that comes with it naturally.

One difference is that, according to the article, Intel actually learned quite a bit technically from the 432 even though it was a commercial flop. It's hard to see much of a silver lining in IA64/Itanium for either Intel or HP--or, indeed, for all the other companies that wasted resources on Itanium if only because they felt they had to cover their bases.

Canada isn't the Sahara, it is a big diverse area. It's spans a big continent. (Is that a straw man argument I detect?)

Nothing you've stated infers that France would naturally have more diverse landscapes compared to Canada.

I don't know French Geography as much as I do Canadian, but I am not uneducated in the subject because we learn about it in school for history involving the wars.

I've actually driven across most of Canada, and even I was surprised at the diversity. I didn't think I'd be driving through desert environments, or rainforests. Mountains, and endless farm and forest land was the stereotype.

"The geography of France consists of a terrain that is mostly flat plains or gently rolling hills in the north and west and mountainous in the south (including the Massif Central and the Pyrenees) and the east (the highest points being in the Alps)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_France

"Canada can be divided into seven physiographic regions: the Canadian Shield, the interior plains, the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Appalachian region, the Western Cordillera, Hudson Bay Lowlands and the Arctic Archipelago."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Canada

Much more geographically diverse.

But please, if I am wrong, correct me. But I don't see this conversation leading to anything remotely interesting either, because you're trying to insult my intelligence and you are also incorrect about the facts.

I've unfortunately never been to France, so I look forward to being corrected if I am mistaken.
Whether the UK is part of the EU or not is irrelevant to using english as a mean of communication between europeans. I remember a study from the French ministry of education which estimated for each language, what was the percentage of the EU population, to which it is not a native language, that studied it as a foreign language either in high school or university.

German and italian are in the 15-20% range, french and spanish in the 30% area, english north of 90%.

When you have 27 different EU nationals in a room, there is just one language they can practically speak among themselves. The EU will not go anywhere if its countries resist adopting english.
