Sure but it was a better fit, and before that heliocentric models were definitely the only way forward that didn't keep adding terms every time someone spotted a moon.

Occam's razor - do not multiply terms without necessity - is essentially a loss function.
Same here. I drive a Gen2 Volt and have loved it and the engineering in it is solid, and because of that was considering going GM for my next EV.

I would argue that theism is not just a simpler explanation but a more naive one.

We could also explain computers as magic and it would be simpler than explaining it with electricity and math.

No religions are based in any observable facts* and thus being naive explanations, indistinguishable from magic.

* More like they are based on deprecated observable facts, at first the sun and nature, later man and it's dramas.
Now we now the sun is just a big ball of gas and man is just a big brained mammal.

That being said religion is just one area of many and you could be very rational in lots of them but be religious for whatever reason.

I suppose my problem is that the term 'perfect information' doesn't really communicate anything really interesting about chess. Whereas the equally valid term of art 'incomplete information' actually does, because it captures the fact that you lack knowledge of your opponent's strategy, but nobody ever uses that term. Chess is like navigating a maze or a minefield, it's like stumbling into an ambush. It's much more like war than tic-tac-toe.
I wouldn't completely discount it. Like I wanted to speed up a certain loss function by rewriting it in triton. But I have to manually code the backward pass function for it in triton. For that I need to know how to calculate the derivative. Then again I guess with pytorch 2.0 compile function it might not be necessary

Exactly this.

> This studio sucks at marketing; their Reddit post, which may well have had tens or hundreds of thousands of views by now, doesn’t even have a link to the game’s steam page

Many subreddits (maybe even reddit as a whole) have rules against self-promotion. I don't see why they need to link to the games. They're easy enough to find, and those who are interested can easily find them (I just did)

No. Goodbye.
>Suspicious, OK. Straight up abuse, though?

Depending on the situation, it could be.

While not an issue any longer (well, at least for those without data caps -- man do I hate those!), ~30 years ago I worked for a network equipment manufacturer as an integrator/tester/3rd level support guy (yes, it was a small company) and was testing our IP stack.

I got the (not so) bright idea of running continuous pings to random IP addresses (changing them every couple days) to verify stability and identify possible memory leaks.

One of the addresses was someone in Australia who was charged by the byte (or packet...it was a long time ago) and after a day or two, we received some very angry telephone calls from them. Oops.

This person (and rightly so) felt I was abusing their internet link, even though I didn't know or care about them or the contents of their network.

Like I said, this isn't (or at least not for the most part) an issue any more, nor is it something more intrusive than port scanning, but it points up the idea that "abuse" is not a black and white thing.

Run port scans against my IP addresses and the absolute worst that might happen is me scanning you right back (yes, I know, that sort of thing is generally frowned upon. So sue me -- nobody has yet).

Run those same scans against government/military sites and you may well soon have a knock (or a battering ram) on your door.

Context matters.
The ideal version of capitalism with zero barriers to entry isn’t a zero sum game. The actual reality that is our current economy doesn’t reach that ideal and there are definitely situations where groups lose out form the benefit of others
I think you can illustrate the difference very well with basic algorithms: We absolutely do know how sorting algorithms "really work", there is basically a traditional first-year CS lecture that is all about that. With "really work", I mean here that we know which principles make sure that the algorithm always returns the result that we expect - a sorted array - even for for unknown inputs. You can mathematically prove that a sorting algorithm will return the correct result for every single input out of a literally infinite set of possible inputs.

Part of the definition of the algorithm and of the proof also involves creating "intermediate concepts" that capture some sort of structure inside the algorithm: If you just measured all the electrical charges inside the CPU, you wouldn't see much: just a bunch of memory cells changing state in seemingly "unpredictable" patterns until at some point, "magically" the result appears.

However, with sorting algorithms, we know which memory cells represent arrays, the instruction pointer, pivot elements, etc. We know there is a specific way those cells are supposed to interact and we know why those interactions will in the end lead to a fully sorted array.

The CPU itself is a similar example: It's trillions of transistors, switching in nanoseconds - but we can still explain what each transistor "does", because we know the higher-level functional groups that they belong to - such as logic gates, then counters, then arithmetic units or memory, etc etc. Conversely, if there is an error, we know how to trace it back.

I feel with LLMs, we're still very much at the "measure the elextrical charges" stage: We can pass words to the network that resemble an instruction. The words are converted to a vector, which is transformed through a number of very large weight matrices and in the end is turned into a probability distribution on words - and if we sample from that distribution, we get words back that very much look like the execution of the instruction.

However, that doesn't itself explain what principles result in the network reliably mapping a human-readable instruction to its execution. It doesn't tell you about higher-level functional units within the weights. That's what I mean with "understanding".

I doubt it makes a difference to Valve/Steam. If I have $20 to spend on games, and I don't buy a game because of bad review... then I'm going to buy something else.

I’m not well-versed in the UAS laws globally, but in Canada you basically need to have a spotter if the PIC doesn’t have unaided line of sight to the aircraft[1]. DJI tends to go above and beyond the actual legal limitations when it comes to aviation safety, so this doesn’t surprise me a whole lot. It’s often frustrating; my Mavic Mini 1 often prevents me from doing perfectly legal things in my own yard because I live pretty close to an airport. I can unlock it, but last I checked it required using a laptop to fill out some forms and was quite a bit more complicated than the usual 30-second setup that I love.

I think this is a cultural distinction that depends on where you are. I have seen many Europeans group both engineering and “operations” stuff like help desk into IT. Whereas in the US we limit IT to only operations and in practice may also exclude highly technical operations like SRE or devops from the “IT” bucket.

I see it as like distinguishing the engineers that design cars from the mechanics that help people with their cars. The distinction blurs when your “mechanics” are operating on bespoke and highly complicated machinery that may have maintenance that includes extensive engineering knowledge (like race cars, or large backend production systems) or requires the operations to be done by the same engineers that created it. But being an IT person that specializes in printers, or internal networks, or Windows configuration and policies is more firmly in the “mechanics” area. Which is not to devalue their skills as setting up a big network can be very complicated and difficult; just as being a mechanic on something like a nuclear submarine is also probably pretty complicated and difficult.

There's one match in which it was not a game of perfect information, as Garry Kasparov says in "Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins":

Comment from the developer:

> We are investigating the reason for the moderation with valve. We don't know why they concluded what they did. Still, we suspect it was because the reviews had a lot of misinformation about the anti-cheat, which was fixed long before the review was created.

1. The data/emails were most likely stolen and the media was trying not to make the same mistake as reporting DNC hacked emails, which was a Russian intelligence operation.

2. Hunter Biden is not a politician, unlike the Trump kids (who are all hopeless cocaine addicts but no one seems to care) he never worked in the White House. And there's 0 proof Biden was a part of any of Hunter's bullshit. So outside of muckraking and dirty politics, there was nothing newsworthy about it.

That's why.
I started building Requestly (https://requestly.io) as a side-project back in 2014 and It took me pretty much every Saturday for 7y to hit ~$2K revenue and to get few companies paying for the product. It was slightly hard to monetize chrome extension due to lack of payments APIs support in chrome ecosystem. I actually went full time in Sep'21 and was fortunate enough to get into YC(W22). Now we are a small team based in India building Requestly.

Requestly is an open-source [1] Chrome & Firefox extension [2] that I started to help me in faster web development by capturing & modifying network requests directly in the browser without using any external tools. It eventually replaced Charles & Fiddler for many companies but now we are building a desktop version[3] too.

On a side note, Side Projects are a long-term game but the good part is you can do multiple along with your job and pick the one getting more traction. For example - I did many other side projects but continued with Requestly for 2 reasons - I was using it myself almost everyday and It was gaining organic traction.

Good luck in finding the project of your calling.

Interesting idea. I signed up.

NPR has a clear political agenda biased toward a particular party. While I happen to agree with a lot of their politics, I don't think organizations with political agendas should receive public funding. Also, the bulk of their funding is not from the government, so they should do fine. Musk is not pushing for something crazy with this.

One other problem with NPR is that they also take money from some seriously questionable orgs, like Walmart and McDonald Douglas.
