Still, useful to see if these types or other types of patterns might exist in other areas of the world.

For example, studying the written english of anyone, globally, based on certain phrases you can usually narrow down where they have spent some or a major part of their formative years.
I don't have a strong view on this yet, but I think some links that are less than 5 years old would make your argument more compelling.
Asking this question is the only way of determining whether a person is acting from a truly principled position, or whether they are using situational ethics.

The only true principle is one that binds your allies and your opponents equally. If it only applies to your opponents, then it's merely a rationalization.

I'm interested in finding like-minded people who are committed to applying principles equally. It's the only way of mediating conflict that does not devolve into pure tribalism. Unfortunately few people seem to be interested.
This might be one of those times to remove some experiences from your history, push forward your graduation date, and settle for a “normal” senior position (assuming all else fails)
https://fast.ai is hands down the best resource for learning more about deep learning as a normal software person.
Which race might that be?
The simplest explanation.

I call it an “objectified definition.”

I have a few others, and these are interconnected.

Entropy is the distribution of potential over negative potential.

Uncertainty is the casual term for entropy. The “distributed potential” definition applies to “information theory” as well as physical phenomena. I believe it superior (encompassing) to the postulation based on thermodynamics.

Information is the removal of uncertainty. If it does not remove uncertainty, it is not information. (This would be datum, or bulldata, or factlets I suppose.)

Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty, if it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligence.

A frequent response to this denotation regards creativity. There are intelligent and unintelligent creativities. Intelligence need not account for dumb luck.
Yeah.

I've been surviving a winter of my own since 1997 when video cards took over and Moore's Law for CPUs started slowing down, finally ending around 2007 when smartphones arrived and research dollars got redirected to cost and power reduction.

We also got stuck with stopgap SIMD measures like SSE/AltiVec instead of a truly scalable multicore/multiprocessor MIMD architecture. Which made it much more difficult to experiment with stuff like genetic algorithms or any other machine learning algorithm that don't map well to vectors. Because a 10 billion transistor GPU that reports thousands of shading units may only have 64 physical cores. Whereas something like a 1 GHz DEC Alpha with 15 million transistors would give us more on the order of 100-1000 cores on the same die, especially if the cache was removed and it used a distributed content-addressable memory for data locality and a near-linear bandwidth increase for workloads like map-reduce.

Anyway, maybe something like MIMD could be built on GPGPU? I just want to get info on my system and see 1024+ threads and 10 TB/sec memory bandwidth on a chip that costs no more than $1000. The fact that this doesn't exist today after all these years, and that people are perfectly happy to keep repurchasing the same desktop computer the same speed as ones from a decade ago, and on top of that go to the ends of the earth to get the simplest shader code working (rather than just coding directly in stuff like Rust/D/C#/Java/C++ and Docker and/or Lisp) just absolutely blows my mind.

And billions more in private losses. It should be something we’re reluctant to do. But things break in war.
The website I linked bins per-donor, not per-donation. Of donations from donors who gave over $100,000 total, more went to Democrats than to Republicans.
Yeah, I found that to be in poor taste and very unnecessary.
They have the ability to exfiltrate private information. Even if you as an honest person wouldn't do such a thing, you might sell the IP to someone who would, or someone who would accept money to include a script that does that.
It is, but you are not really answering the question. Just calling a mindset names does not make it wrong.

Do you have any evidence of this?
> almost everything innovative looks like a bad idea to almost everyone

But some ideas are obviously bad within that framework. I could invest millions trying to build a commuter-friendly transportation rocket, but that's obviously not worth trying. Any potential critics would almost certainly be right.
Hm, why? You can run services without exposing their ports to the whole world. Or use unix sockets..
I was trying to highlight that these words and the definitions you choose do a lot of lifting there. What's "we", or rather you or I, are you only your conscious mind which 'knows' something, or are you also the subconscious that doesn't know that at all? I'm certainly more we than I but I say I because it's easier and doesn't require tons of explanations. Recently I discovered that I've gotten a slight needlephobia. I'm perfectly fine with needles. I'm willing to give you my blood or get my shot, I don't have a problem with needles. But if you come close to me with a needle and I'm aware of it and believe that you'll stick it into me, I'll just shut down my conscious mind. But I obviously don't. But I absolutely do. Which one of those am I? Which one 'knows' something about placebos? Which one is affected by illnesses and medication the most?

And what do you actually 'know' there? Do you know it doesn't contain any medication? Do you know that it usually still has a good chance of helping you? How is it fake if it has an effect? Do you 'know' that you don't 'know' how or why it works exactly? But does that make it fake, or does that make it surprising that it works? I know how basically nothing about how anything works, but it still works, and that's not surprising to me.

But I'm lazy (all of me) and I didn't want to write all of that, so I apologize for having abbreviated my thoughts to that sentence that I agree doesn't really say much and could be applied to anything.
Uhhhh, what? Symbolic systems is the answer instead or?
One would've expected a much larger shift in reporting with changing governments if that were true.

Well, I never asked for your breadcumbs, but for a link where an actual virologist is saying anti vaxx people are the problem why polio wasn't eradicated, which is what this thread was about. The article is not saying anything about it and neither is any other literature about it, I have read so far. (not that I have read much about it, but a bit)

And your failure to provide such a link and your fall back to "I provided you with all the breadcrumbs and the rest is up to you" reminds me actually very much of discussions with anti vaxx people I had, you seem to misstake me for. Lots of talk. But nothing solid to back things up. At least nothing, I debated.

So sure, higher vaccination rates might help. I did not debate that. But if it would be as simple as that, then there wouldn't be a problem. Only if the required numbers could not be reached because of anti vaxxers - then you would have an point - but again - I am not aware of an actual virologists making that point in this specific instance.

So you claim you are an biochemist? Great, but I hope you know, that doesn't make you an virologist. Because I am also not an IT security expert, because I studied IT.
I think I have a vague understanding about both (virology and IT security). Enough to know, that both is freakingly complicated and in both sectors there is lots and lots of snake oil and self declared gurus who claim they have the solution.

I rather stick with the experts with some reputation.
Yes. Unfortunately that book was left out of the canon.
This is great!

One of the things that I find horrific about a lot of LLM projects is that people are taking them so seriously. "They're going to destroy the world!" Or, worse, "I've taken $25m in VC money to see if I can destroy one part of the world!"

But this is lighthearted fun. Instead of putting it in a context where the LLM tendency to bullshit is a problem, here's it's exactly what is needed.
I wonder if this is related to the ZBiotics product.
It certainly does make you wonder which Meta execs believed that all of Facebook's ethical, legal, and political problems somehow "vanish" just because they've added an extra dimension and are trying to do "Facebook, Now in 3D". It feels like playground naivety by children that there's that much difference in real world consequences between scrolling Facebook on a 2D plane and scrolling it in 3D instead. "We'll just escape our pursuers and hard problems by jumping into 3D! Woo!" said the kids imagining the park slide was a rocket ship. It's such a bizarre response to "our current business model is breaking down and we are having a hard time with regulators, politicians, and trust from the general public".
The label doesn't say anything about publishing or printing a newspaper, it says media. Social media is surely media?

The lives of family members of politicians and government employees should be completely on-limits for news coverage, provided that could be newsworthy, because using one's family is one method of laundering corruption.

Let's say for example you need a permit approved by the CITYNAME Department of Buildings. CITYNAME is slow to process permit applications, but it is common knowledge that using a particular expeditor consulting company actually helps to get your permit approved quickly. It would definitely be newsworthy if that consulting company was owned by a spouse, sibling, parent, cousin, etc. of someone in the building department. I personally know someone who was not able to open up a store in a city I lived because the inspector literally said something was deficient and recommended some local company nearby to "fix it" for approximately $50,000.

It is a similar reason why working in an investment bank, at least in the US, you have to agree that both you and your close family members must agree to trading restrictions so as not to pose a conflict of interest with any of the bank's clients. If such a restriction was not in place, then it would be easy to just pass insider information to your spouse or brother and have them make money based on news that is about to be announced.
There... is.
I agree and wasn't fond of the "state-affiliated" label but they switched to "government funded" which I agree with.
> a 51% attacker is disincentivized

You missed this:

"An attacker could leverage [a market crash] because they would have a certain amount of control over when news of the attack broke, so they could (for example) take a short position on a portfolio of financial stocks before launching the attack."
Things went bonkers the last round of that. I mean, .google is a TLD.

The upside is that this must be their end game. Can't make it much more liberal than this.
"BTW, are you familiar with urbit?"

I found it, long ago, when researching whether there was anything like GAGOOT, but I dismissed it as being too complex, and therefore, neither a good substitute for, nor a viable competitor to, GAGOOT. However, much later, I came across a well-written article about it, which I shared in the following link.

https://freespeechextremist.com/notice/AOjpEat2uNnuBjVjxA

EDIT: In case FSE disappears from the Internet, here is my comment and the excellent article.

Here's an interesting recent article about Urbit. Some of the similarities to (and differences from) GAGOOT are quite striking. I wish I had the resources (time, energy, focus, competence, and so on) to neatly rewrite this from a GAGOOT perspective. I think that I need to find a good writer, with whom I can have long conversations, so that they can then understand enough about GAGOOT to write such nifty articles to explain it to people.

I'm impressed so far. I'll keep trying it as an alternative to my current kagi + chatgpt(4) + github search combo.

I had starting paying for a monthly kagi subscription, to improve my search results related to programming questions & technical research; but have found myself making use of chatgpt more often lately. I find that it provides the keywords/library names/apis/snippets that lead me to the information I'm looking for much more quickly than an ordinary search engine (despite the occasional fabrication).

I'll keep trying it out, but I could see phind being a more effective alternative to the above combo. Note that I would happily pay for this service.

This was 100% a problem caused by central planning and failure to consider second order effects.

But at the core the problem was blindly following the suggestion of a leader who is not making evidence based decisions. This will always end in tragedy.

I regret to report that such leaders can and do emerge under every economic system.

Maybe free markets are less susceptible to them because the leaders have less power over people’s lives in free markets.

Perhaps the takeaway should Be to limit the power our leaders have over us because the world is complex and a central plan will never encompass the realities of every individual.
I can't help wondering if Meta is suffering death by GDPR and co. Meta really had only one revenue stream: ads. Given the recent GDPR fines, it's clear that personalized ads are increasingly illegal in the EU. Other jurisdictions will follow suit (e.g. CCPA).

Contrast that with Google, who, although makes tons of ad money, had other revenue streams: cloud, workspace, YouTube Joins, pay, App Store, etc.

An interesting exploration: Programming Language creation with ChatGPT
>Arguing that human rights are only granted out of self-interest is not even a slippery slope-- that's basically a waterslide into pre-1900 racism: After all, what's stopping you from splitting humanity across easily identifiable features (skull shape, skin color, etc), and then denying basic rights to that subgroup because you're not part of it?

Plot twist: nothing. And it has happened time and again, "human rights" is just a human construct, that when uncomfortable for those in power, dissolves. They're kept as long as it's either convenient to have them there, or as those who could be hurt can yield the necessary social/political/military/raw power to resist them taking away from them. E.g. Japanese American during world war 2 couldn't afford them anymore.

And just for a somewhat recent example, people who smoked marijuana weren't afforded that luxury - instead their human rights were violated, they put in prisons where they were treated like cattle, away from their kids and families, even though they were perfectly normal people, they didn't otherwise hurt anybody or done anything to somebody's property, and rationally thinking, smoking some plant shouldn't take away your rights.

Not only it did, but it was also a law, and hundreds of millions were OK with it, while the whole local and federal governments enforced it, until a couple decades ago. And that's while same society championed "human rights".

>There is also a gigantic mismatch with current common ethical standards: Animals are afforded some rights ("no cruelty"), which a large part of humanity strongly agrees with-- even though they don't self-identify as cattle.

Doesn't matter much, as in this case too, it's humanity granting them. It can do favours to other species if they feel magnanimus and the conditions are right. And at the first or second inconvenience it can take them away too. After all, those rights don't preclude animals for being used in experiements, or being killed and eaten. They stop when its incovenient, and they outlines mark our convenience/interests boundaries.
> And I don't think VR is going away. If it wasn't dead in the water in the 90s, then it's not going to die because the Metaverse failed. But its applicability is currently limited to a few niche applications like video games and possibly CAD type software.

VR will go the way of 3D Printing. A surgeon can walk into one of the largest medical device company's in the world, talk about a new idea for a broken bone transplant and within 24 hours can have a 3D prototype printed out. Great for innovation of broken bones, but it isn't the ubiquity we experienced with something like mobile phones, email, or social media. Meta thinks thats what VR is going to be.
I mean as an actual attack not a product that could execute a similar attack. IE an instance where a public charger has been detected or caught attempting to infect phones.
Hi Gavin,

Do you think you could maybe stop saying nasty things about me in public? I don't appreciate it. I don't agree with your summary of our interactions either. It would be nice if you could just leave me alone.

This is a fair point. Things like arithmetic either work or they don't. Is partial credit issued as a linear interpolation between the predicted value and expected value? If not, then you necessarily will have step-like behavior in the data.

Typically the State Affiliated badge is only applied to accounts where editorial control is in the hands of the state - think Chinese and Russian media companies.

Also interesting- after the change, NPR's badge says "Government-funded media" while the BBC's badge says "Publicly funded media," at least in the US. Al Jazeera does not have any such badge, other than the gold "Official Organization" badge.
Excellent!

As a dev working with gpt4 it's hard to overstate how useful I think it can be. Great to see more tooling using it (or other similar models).
Couldn't you just plug the wireless charger to the public charging port and then charge your phone wirelessly off of that? An airgapped solution. :)
I think you will find that dragging in unrelated subjects isn't going to help make your argument because you are trying to find purchase on the individuals that you are talking to rather than to discuss the subject matter.

Applying principles equally implies that the subjects are comparable, which may be the case in your world view but you will find that your worldview rarely if ever overlaps the worldview of another person. So instead of trying to match worldviews we discuss topics individually of each other so that there is room for less than 100% black/white differentiation. Given two subjects that two people may or may not agree on there will be four populations of results given a large enough sample size. Whether you believe that those people are able to rationally apply their own principles or not isn't really the question the question is whether they believe that they are doing so and cherry picking your subjects doesn't give you more grip on their worldview, it only serves to reinforce your own.

There's been an announcement that the supply chain has been retooled, and we can expect lots of stock by summertime. That's a short enough timeline that I say let's wait and see, first off.

Second, kids and schools have not lacked for platform tools to learn about electronics and computing - we are drowning in computers, and any instructor that wants to teach kids about GPIO can get any of about a billion arduino clones for a couple bucks apiece.

Your comment presumes that things will stay this way for good, and that isn't the case regardless; they're very due for a Pi 5 release, and picking a new SoC with a reliable supplier is a good way to sort both issues.

Anyways, let's see what it looks like come Labor Day.

I am not sure it even matters either way. It is certainly possible to do things like this right now, and "kidnapped" or "arrested" family member scams are well established as existing. The significance of this report is less that it happened, and more that it is an illustration of what is not only possible, be very cheap and easy to do.
Our Sony TV has a "Screen off" mode under quick-settings menu. Everything goes off related to screen, incl LEDs. We use it a lot while listening to music via Spotify and other services.
