This is a very nicely designed site, but I have to grumble a little: bivectors aren't a concept unique to geometric algebra! They've been used elsewhere in physics for ages: well before geometric algebra in its current form was developed. (I first encountered them in the Petrov classification of spacetime structures.) So it's a bit awkward to see "bivector.net" as a label for geometric algebra resources. (And they're not alone: the Wikipedia article on bivectors reads as if geometric algebra is the only context where bivectors are meaningful, too.)

In fact, I've recently written a paper[] about teaching rotational physics using the language of bivectors instead of cross products: deep down, bivectors are the right* language for rotations. (The cross product/pseudovector form is an accident of three dimensions, with awkward transformation properties under reflections or when extended to relativity.) There's absolutely no geometric algebra necessary, though more than one proponent of GA has told me they think this approach could be a nice first step toward teaching that formalism.

[*] I haven't had time to upload the accepted version of the paper yet (with improvements after peer review at AJP), but the original version is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.03560

> I replied to that.

Out of context.

This entire thread is in the context of “gpt is going to destroy jobs”; the arbitrary “we need to disassociate working and basic necessities” isn’t an isolated socialist discourse.

You can wax philosophical all you like, but you’re failing to address the fundamental reality.

There is a physical limit of good and services available right now and no amount of magical posturing will make that untrue.

Anything is possible in the future given unlimited time and resources, but this thread is not about that.

It is about right now, people losing their jobs.

What is being proposed here is not a solution to that problem. The ability for people to build things doesn’t mean they will. It’s pure speculation about what might possibly happen in the future.

> Then we agree on that.

I do not agree with you. You’re just making arbitrary speculative statements.

You should read up on "Pass by Value" and "Pass by Reference" and stack vs heap. In Python everything is created on the heap which means it exists until it is garbage collected. When you return the list, you're actually passing back the memory address which is why it is accessible.

In a language like C which is Copy-by-value, if you are returning a struct, it will make a copy of the struct and pass that back to the calling code. It's actually a bit more complicated than that when you deal with pointers or structs that have pointer members, but it's all still essentially copy by value.

> Once the function call has completed execution, it no longer exists in memory.

This is the part that is wrong. If it's created on the heap it still exists. If it's created on the stack like a local variable in C, then it won't be after the function returns. In Go, it will figure out if the variable should be created on the stack or the heap.

I think it's okay for the students to decide that the speaker's actions make them ineligible to speak at the school and "shriek" over them. People get to decide you're a piece of shit and refuse to let you speak without getting shouted down, because people aren't the government and have no obligation to uphold your 1st amendment rights. And it's the school administration's job to do with that behavior as they will.

Frankly, it's good to see people taking a moral stance against someone who takes a "moral" stance (imposing their holy book on everyone) by doing something like allowing states to ban gay marriage. People on this site talk big about "accountability" for their pet problems like data leaks and privacy but seemingly don't like it when public figures are held even modestly accountable for their shit behavior which does irreparable harm.
as a guy from Ukraine, and who familiar with group of people who receive paid "grants" i can say. This grants paid for political destructive groups. This is not about science, research, rights, whatever. I have war outside of my window. All "granted" organizations doing maximum efforts to lead much more deaths of ukranians as it possible. They doing maximum problems and political problems as they could. All sectors from IT, from lgbt, from different science grants and so on. All works in the same one road to weak Ukraine and kill as much people as possible. So yes, earlier i did not even imagine that grants it's some kind of salary. But now i have clear understanding for what and why the "free and easy" money paid for. These money paid not for purpose they initially paid. This is fund for political destructive organization covered by fake title.

The government also can't compete on potency. We'd be dispensing safe drugs, but the street dealers always win: they're always going to have stronger, riskier stuff. Addicts want the stronger stuff.

An example is the supply arms race with research chemicals/designer drugs (RC). Every month, a new RC hits the streets with greater potency and skirting any previously-established regulations. The drug dealers will always be winning the potency race because they're on the bleeding edge, using the latest formulas and cutting it with experimental/unsafe/word-of-mouth additives.

The only way to win is making them free. And even then, the potency race continues. It's a ginormous value edge that the dealers have, and sadly, it preys on the most vulnerable sufferers.
I actually changed my mind based on some simple ideas.

Carol Dweck wrote a book called Mindset, which talks about two mindsets: a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. The idea is super simple, and you don't even need to read the book to know what it is. But just knowing that idea changed my entire motivation to do things, and now I believe that even if I'm not talented at something, I can get surprisingly far. (for instance, I'm a deep introvert, but I'm able to socialize for long periods of time and talk to strangers easily now, but only after I kept practicing for a period of 2 years -- I discovered it's possible to "bend" your introversion if you don't put yourself in a box and are willing to make an effort)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindset#Fixed_and_growth_minds...

Arguably the science around fixed vs growth mindsets is fuzzy, but here's the other insight: sometimes you can blunder into the right by holding some vague ideas loosely (the rationalist crowd think that avoiding biases leads you to correct actions -- in real life I have found this to be false).

There are two kinds of rationality: epistemic rationality (believing the right things) and instrumental rationality (believing in ideas that work to get you the ends desired, even if the ideas themselves are not 100% rational).

In business and life, instrumental rationality is much more useful and works more of the time (this is why the LessWrong crowd isn’t good at stochastic domains like business because their models, though logical, are insufficient -- this is a realm where instrumental rationality leads to success). That's another idea that changed my life.

The problem for large capital expenditures is they will last well beyond the grant, but they need to exist in order for the grant to be done. But a lot of funders don't want to pay for things that will last well beyond the project they're paying for. Indirects are one way to do this. Large capital acquisition grants are another.
Once you have the basics it's just a matter of scaling. Creating clothing isn't hard, creating beautiful clothing, now that's a different matter.

I was wondering why this message was so weird. Like the last post in a discussion came first…
1. You can buy shopping carts full of alcohol at one time if you want. I've watched people purchase thousands of cigarettes in one purchase. Having essentially unlimited access to addictive drugs wouldn't be out of the social norm.

2. I think some drugs would become cheaper, and other drugs would become more expensive. Drugs with limited supply would become cheaper as more production/supply chains open up. Think cocaine, heroin, and some pharmaceuticals without large overseas labs. There are inefficiencies in the illegal drug trade that legal trade could smooth over as well: better payment methods, more open price negotiations, legal settlement for disputes, reduced employee churn from violence/arrest, reduced bribes/corruption related charges.

3. Regardless of the price of drugs, the overall price would be smaller, as illegal drug use has huge externalized costs. Everything from corrupt governments to increased health care utilization to wasted law enforcement resources to destroyed human capital.

4. The existence of an available quality tested market would force the black market to compete more on quality.

It is at least intended to reflect the cost of the grant. The building might need to be cleaned, but one could expect things like the library, a laboratory, support folks in IT and grant administration, the IRB, etc. to go up.

How do we use them in place of transformers? Would they allow something like the power of ChatGPT but with interpretability or modularity? Would they make it easier to create systems that behave like hybrid architectures or automatically combine different types of models (algebras?)

It sounds so promising. But I have to assume that if it really is then this can be translated to code that can run on Colab or something, at least by some genius. Until it is I have to be a little skeptical and I'm not going to be able to access it anyway.

You are explicitly blaming capitalism for this, as you seem to imply some other system wouldn't allow for human greed and selfishness, but my point was that those are natural human traits and every single societal system ever conceived must deal with them. There is no system that can be created that will somehow magically remove those traits.

If you wanna abolish capitalism, what system do you think should take it's place that wouldn't have human selfishness?

Just to be clear:

> I merely stated that this happens under capitalism, and it keeps happening, even when the justice system is applied in an effort of deterrence.

is an explicit accusation against capitalism in exclusion of some other system.

As I said, above, humans have been negligent since time immemorial. People put in charge of companies in socialist systems are also criminally negligent, usually though there are even fewer consequences for them.
Unlikely. I might add I don't particularly like or admire Pavlou, I'm not a supporter and I have been to mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan repeatedly for work. I am not "anti china" nor protesting the authority of the Chinese state.

The likelihood of Pavlou swatting a Chinese embassy having himself been subject to legal action in Australia over his protests seems low to me. It would undermine almost all of his position.

I think your position fails on plausibility.

Magic and the Stuff we don't understand
A short post from my personal blog where I talk about magic, progress and LLMs.
This is referring to the fact that when you go up in the atmosphere over high latitudes (e.g. poles), air pressure drops faster than over the equator. So when polar people talk about "physiological altitude" they usually mean what altitude at the equator has the same air pressure as the altitude you're at down south. It will be a few thousand feet higher. Also, barometric pressure changes with weather can increase the "equivalent altitude," which is why the above commenter is saying it can "sometimes" reach 14 thousand feet. Storm fronts are generally low pressure.
What would that prove? I still have no access to all the proprietary code generated from copilot, and no idea if it did copy paste or not in all those cases.

You suggest I try it twice and since it will probably not copy paste in those 2 tries, assume it never copy pastes (despite existing evidence that it does copy paste in some other cases).

What problem would this exercise solve? I can't see it.
When you get away from the coasts and start dealing with domestic companies you'll start to find many people in those spaces will exaggerate their regional accents.

It has been shown that github copilot does copy paste.

I also didn't say legalize, I said decriminalize. These are two different concepts. Legalize weed and psychedelics, sure. Decriminalize hard drugs. And improve public health programs, like I said, including mandatory rehab (which I left out - not for any particular reason - but support for addicts).

Minor correction: "The Ark" is a SyFy/Peacock show, not Netflix. My apologies to Netflix for naming them as having made what's probably the worst sci-fi show ever.

Interestingly, I found the show that "The Ark" is loosely based on, a 70s show called "The Starlost". It's available on YouTube for free. Anyway, it was widely panned too, even named on someone's "worst sci-fi shows of all time" list. I've only seen one episode but it's already notably better than "The Ark" despite being 50 years old now (and not because "The Starlost" is great either).
I'm all for rule of law and property rights, but this seems like something humans have done throughout time and wary of saying it's wrong.
Yes. From two or more sites plot the intersection of strongest signal radiating pattern, and the centroid is the most likely location of the transmission assuming it's single sourced, and you can plot directionality of the RF. This is called triangulation because at sea you are recommended to get at least 3 points of reference which becomes a "cocked hat" (by visual analogy) to the location being plotted, distances and angles being computed by.. triangulation. The seaborne method is directly analogous to radio signal finding.
I propose a ban on all arguments involving LLMs that boil down to “your usage of this word doesn’t match my personal connotations for that word”. It’s fine to ask someone to be clarify their definitions, but every other discussion of these models becomes a pointless debate about semantics. See, for example, below.

The piece you cite does not support your conclusion; it is an analysis of Lego’s price increases on existing sets, and concludes that they are, in fact, inflation-driven. The only thing it says relevant to your conclusion is mostly dismissive of it as viable for Lego, though indicating its outside the scope of the article (quote: Another way around this is “Shrinkflation” where companies provide slightly smaller goods at the same price as before in an attempt to disguise the price increase, though when LEGO fans closely judge sets by size and piece count, this is harder to pull off. That’s an article for another day.)
Xylazine is not an opiate and has its own withdrawal effects. Also people are often not well educated on drugs or even know what is in the drugs they take. It is an adulterant and it is a street drug, so switching to 'another opiate' without an adulterant in it isn't going to be easy. Even pills are fake nowadays.

There is absolutely no valid reason we can't treat people with suboxone, which will allow them to maintain their addiction without getting high. However it needs a prescription and doctors usually won't just prescribe it to addicts, especially for extended time periods.

This could all be 'fixed' if people didn't have a subconscious need to make people 'pay' for doing things they feel are wrong.

A good example of this is when I got a complete workup done by a liver specialist, having been a very hard drinker earlier in life. Upon telling a close family member that everything came up fine and there were no lasting effects they commented 'that shouldn't be right' as if I had cheated society somehow by not having health consequences for being an alcoholic.

The article isn't referencing index investing as a strategy; it's talking about a strategy in which, for a while, you could make money by buying specific stocks when they met the criteria to be newly added to an index. That appears to no longer work, because markets have become more efficient and the value is already priced in.

EDIT: I should have said that the 'code on the left, notes on right thing' was overly prescriptive, as long as the notes and code are in columns and the notes sit alongside the relevant part of the code that's good as far as I'm concerned.
