Depending on the hypothesis space what you call the "uninformative prior" does not exist in the frequentist approach. If you search for a real value, then the uninformative prior is a uniform distribution on the infinite line. This distribution does not normalize and is off-limits to bayesians.

Ultimately, I think you are strawmanning frequentism here. Just because the log likelihood is sometimes the same as the map does not imply that they have the same meaning. This is why computed uncertainties of both approaches are often not the same and have a not-so-subtle difference in their interpretation. The one computes uncertainty in belief, the other imprecision of an experiment. You can't summarize that with "do you want to be explicit about assumptions".

> The wording existed previously, yes, but only as a technical term in intelligence gathering. Applied to software, on the other hand, the term is new, created by the OSI, which gave it a strict definition from day one. People cannot have heard of the term unless it came from OSI. Any claim of deviation from the OSI meaning, then, can be simply discarded as incorrect.

All of these claims are untrue. Here is an example of open source being used to describe software in 1996. OSI was founded in 1998.

I looked up both terms, being familiar with neither offhand.

The term "ontological choreography" comes across to me as something like an arrangement or dance of meanings and appears to have been coined by someone whose concern was normalization of LGBTQ families via surrogate parents and possibly other technology. I could not have guessed any connection there from the actual meanings of those words and it doesn't really convey any information I know how to use.

Reading "Word embeddings utilize neural networks to create high-dimensional vector representations of words" is something precise enough that I could probably make software to create an embedding and feed it to a neural net given time and a few more details. It sounds like it's not so distant from what I did more than 20 years ago making a simple Markov chain in a few lines of Perl. The only ambiguous part is what the neural networks actually do with the Markov chain of words, because that's not stated in your quote.
I mean, they can go after amazon for facilitating it.

What about it made you become a believer?

It is non obvious to me that an LLM by itself can become AGI, though I’m familiar with the claims of some that this is plausible.

The analytic/continental split happened around the 19th century. Both traditions read more or less the same thinkers in Western philosophy (e.g. Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Descartes, the Enlightenment Rationalists, the Enlightenment Empiricists, the Enlightenment Idealists, Kant) up until then. Once you hit the 19th century, stick with the readings that deal with the problems set out by Frege, Russell, and Moore, who are trying to get as close to science and formalizing problems in a clear, mathematical way as possible. As a result, the philosophical agenda uses conceptual engineering as a general approach. Generally speaking, any topic that fits into a "Philosophy of X" (e.g. Philosophy of mind, language, ethics, action, etc) is part of the analytic tradition.

The continental thinkers (starting with Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger) are asking questions like "What is one's place in the world?" or "How do forces of history affect the deepest parts of people?" or "How does our Western scientific worldview limit other kinds of knowledge?" On the surface, this is going to seem a lot more 'subjective' and is partly why it gets obscure very, very fast. Personally, I think it's still worth reading, but that's because I find those issues interesting to begin with.
Finally. I remember reading Sun Tzu and thinking "hmm all this stuff is either very specific to ancient China, or unsubstantiated". As in, everyone sounded like distilled wisdom, but it smelled. The thing that was missing I think was that normally when you read a text about something that's trying to make a general point, it cites a whole bunch of historical precedents. "Always drive deep into enemy territory, like X, Y, and Z times where they won decisively" would work better than just a bunch of "do this, do that".

And of course you wouldn't do that for a broken clock, but you are here taking information from 'historical reliability' which is a problem because it's simply not a thing that can affect the truth or falsity of the argument made any more than the broken hands of the clock can affect the current time.

I’m not sure something like that is even possible anymore. Everything needs to be heavily advertised everywhere all at once, and there are too many channels for that where people are constantly connected to. It’s all too competitive and if it doesn’t have a global reach, it’s a failure. Also, everything is constantly scrutinized; what you described would nowadays be quickly considered as being snobby and/or stuck up and insensitive to those who didn’t get the joke, or who couldn’t access it for whatever reason, or with limited brain power, or anything like that. I bet there would also be at least a couple of people who would say it’s not appropriate for children and would try to (in one way or another) bring down those who let the children have it. In other words, the world today has too much entropy for that to happen.

Amazon itself is much worse about this practice than I assume The Bountiful Company was. They "unify" reviews for different DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the same film; they unify reviews for different translations of the same book... it's completely absurd.

Go to Amazon's page for any media item such as a movie or a TV show, and you'll see that all of the reviews take pains to indicate what product they're actually talking about, because everyone recognizes that all of the reviews are mostly displayed on products they're not related to.

This article explained the concept of the fraudulent behavior pretty well. But it didn't give even one example of two products that were inappropriately variated. As far as I learned from the article, the company being fined never did anything wrong!

The complaint ( https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/the_bountiful_c... ) is more detailed, but it doesn't seem to make the case that there was a problem:

> Later in 2020, Respondent began selling a new Nature’s Bounty Zinc Gummies product to Amazon for sale on Amazon.com. In August 2020, before the launch of the Zinc Gummies product, the Ecommerce Customer Development Director, wrote in an email:

>> [m]oving forward we are going to launch skus with variations that make sense: i.e. Zinc gummy with zinc tablet – gives the strongest opportunity to win from day 1 – gives relevancy, page 1 view, ... increased Conversation, and sales. We are seeing success with this strategy ....

> Respondent requested that Amazon create a variation relationship including Zinc Gummies, and two of Respondent’s established products, Nature’s Bounty Calcium Magnesium & Zinc caplets and Nature’s Bounty Zinc 50 mg caplets. The products had different formulations, including different amounts of the main ingredient or additional ingredients. The Zinc caplets were Amazon.com’s “#1 Best Seller in Zinc Mineral Supplements.”

So the theory seems to be that by listing their different zinc products as variations of each other, someone was getting defrauded.

But I don't see why "40mg zinc" caplets and "50mg zinc" caplets shouldn't be considered variations of each other (different amounts of the main ingredient!), and I also don't see why "40mg zinc" pills shouldn't be considered variations of "40mg zinc" gummy candies (different additional ingredients!). I don't see a big problem with the fact that Tylenol comes in a variation that includes a sedative ("Tylenol PM" - different active ingredients!). How is this different?

Make it as organized/structured as possible. Go through the social initiatives arm of the firm, if they are big enough to have one. To them "our social responsibility initiatives" or "open source community contributions" sounds better and webpage-worthy than "we pay project X, Y and Z" (even though that is basically what it boils down to).

On the other hand, for a smaller firm, this might probably be just a one-to-one talk/convincing an executive. If you can't convince one, try another. If you can't convince any, take it as a flag with the color of your choosing.

Penrose's theory of conformal cyclic cosmology is distinct from the big bounce theory. In the big bounce theory, the universe reaches a point where expansion slows down and eventually reverses into contraction. Then, eventually the universe reaches a high enough density where something happens and it begins expanding again in a new big bang.

In conformal cyclic cosmology, the expansion never reverses. Instead, there is a bit of a mathematical trick. If you assume that all massive particles eventually decay, then at some point the universe will contain only massless particles which travel at the speed of light. In such a universe, scale becomes meaningless. That is to say, if you take a region of space that is 1 light year across and watch it evolve for 1 year; that is indistinguishable from a region that is 1 light second across evolving for 1 second. Taking this to the extreme, such a universe that is infinitely sparse is indistinguishable from one that is infinitely dense. In other words the state of our universe after infinite time is mathematically indistinguishable from the universe at the big bang. Of course, after applying that transformation, you would again see a universe with an infinite future that is also equivalent to the big bang, so you can apply the same transformation again.
Maybe 5% is the wrong number, but how do you expect the lights to stay on?
Sabotage and propaganda are examples of making war without direct combat. I've always interpreted that as what Sun Tzu was referring to.

I'm also sure that said position is not absolute, but rather just the idea that one should not look into prolonging battles (except when you're consciously participating in a war of attrition, obviously) and to hopefully evade them altogether as they at least reduce morale and exhaust resources.

Power is easy to move using transmission lines. For example, the Pacific DC Intertie is over 846 miles (1,361 km) long. It moves 3.1 GW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_DC_Intertie

Path 27 is 488 miles (785 km) and carries 2.4 GW.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_27

Wind farms can be located as optimally as possible and the power transported where needed.

Storage, both at the plant and along the transmission path if necessary.

Not only does storage make power availability more constant, it can act as an aggregator and repeater. Bring in power from a thousand miles away to a storage station. Do so from multiple wind farms. Store the power and deliver it another thousand miles away to wherever it might be needed.

I think the concerns about optimal wind farm location have been obsolete for a very long time, particularly as storage options improve in cost and performance.
