This reminds me of my ancient philosophy class and reading Plato...

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Plato/Early-dialogues

> The Meno takes up the familiar question of whether virtue can be taught, and, if so, why eminent men have not been able to bring up their sons to be virtuous. Concerned with method, the dialogue develops Meno’s problem: How is it possible to search either for what one knows (for one already knows it) or for what one does not know (and so could not look for)? This is answered by the recollection theory of learning. What is called learning is really prompted recollection; one possesses all theoretical knowledge latently at birth, as demonstrated by the slave boy’s ability to solve geometry problems when properly prompted. (This theory will reappear in the Phaedo and in the Phaedrus.) The dialogue is also famous as an early discussion of the distinction between knowledge and true belief.

Do you seriously think that claim is true? That coin toss predicts software engineering ability as well as leetcode? I don’t think any reasonable person can take this seriously.
That's basically what it does. You can activate Domain Discovery and verify a Domain on an organization, with that zitadel routes users to the organization based on the suffix (ie. email domain)
A trend I've noticed is a tendency toward beige, dull pastel palettes, soft organic shapes and timber in toys (and clothes) for babies ala montessori. I believe this is driven by parent's sense of aesthetics opposed to user research.

We've been gifted a bunch of things, by far our daughter is way more into the fluro coloured garish plastic toys that are pointy and make loud noises.
There is a publication in India (The Ken) that allows you to buy a single article. But the cost of a single article is so high, it's not really worth it. It's 1/6th of the price of their annual subscription. The idea is to discourage single article buys and push a customer towards an annual subscription because it's a much better value. Classic pricing technique. Of course they are a business and they have to maximize the revenue.

If people could buy single articles for pennies, no-one would buy the expensive monthly/annual subscriptions except the diehard fans.

It’s O(n) in an n that doesn’t matter.

The length of that word does not grow arbitrarily long, causing the asymptotic behavior of your algorithm to dominate. Because it’s a word.

In the case of ‘is this word of length n the result of concatenation two English words’, the time complexity as n approaches infinity is constant, because once you get past floccinaucinihipilificationantidisestablishmentarianism, any longer word than that you can just return ‘false’ immediately.
> It doesn't really change anything, either way NPR have stated that federal funding is essential to their operation.

Every organization on earth refers to every penny of its budget as "essential" as to not lose any of it. Obviously they could still exist and find a way to replace 1% of their total budget if necessary.
So In 2020 I'd say "Country Foo had a GDP per capita of $1000 in 2000", and in 2023 I'd say "Country Foo had a GDP per capita of $1100 in 2000"? That's confusing.

Nothing new. Nitter for example has been using these endpoints for a while.
We have a 20 months old son and I've been rather appalled by some of the toys. There's a brand vtech that specializes in toys that makes random sound and light and even worse, makes some sort of callback sound a few minutes after the last interaction with the toy to make sure the toddler comes back and continues playing with it.

I don't get why anyone would think those toys are good. It doesn't teach anything, pressing a button will result in completely different sound randomly so there's not even a cause and effect relationship between an action from the toddler and the light/sound coming out of the toy.

That said, coming back to this article, we did get some metal toy cars for our son and he happily makes vroom sounds while moving them around (he has learned that from the older kids in our apartment building). So at least imagination influenced by seeing other kids hasn't completely disappeared.

It can be kind of irrational. If toothpaste waste is important to you, there are better ways to avoid it. My local no-packaging store, for example, sells toothpaste tablets, completely without plastic or packaging of any kind (and I'm sure you could buy something similar online in bulk with minimal packaging).

The effect on waste production that using the last few drops of every toothpaste tube will be negligible compared to the use of a waste-free or waste-minimising alternative, but I get the impression that a lot of people do the former without trying the latter out of a misplaced sense of utility.
This feels really weird to consider in terms of "O(..)" notation as presented to be honest. Once you get into the trie and other lookups the "n" vs "w" is not something you can ignore. The real effects of cache usage and implementation details render it true-but-meaningless as written.

I don't think the function "inDict" is even defined as either local or remote query (unless I missed it), which really influences the answers. Querying a short string against in-memory structure will be based on "n", but querying a long string against any remote database will be based on "w".
Building a Manufacturing Industrial Base in at least some Goods is mandatory for every Developing country. The Services Industry will always be disrupted by emerging technologies and hence is not reliable to base an Economy on. It is also the case that only Manufacturing can absorb Unskilled Labour which is the main problem in developing countries.

The Covid pandemic and Ukraine-Russia war has exposed the weaknesses inherent in the "Global Economy" where a single problem affects the entire World due to everything being interlinked together. This is further intensified by the self-interest/selfishness/hypocrisy of the developed Western countries since they have managed to engineer the system to their benefit while short shrifting the developing countries.
How compatible is it, supposedly the mongo drivers can connect to it. Can you connect spark mongo connector to it?
Hallucinating is no different to believe or know or infer: its the wrong label to use for what it does.

Yes, colloquially what it does is hallucinate all the time, and sometimes it lucid. But more factually no, it doesn't hallucinate because there is no "it" there, it's not conscious and you need to have a brain, to hallucinate.

There's no "there" there.

That is the whole of my point: we're using the wrong labels to describe what is happening.

When it comes to explaining and describing "it's like" is one of the WORST ways to go. explanation by analogy or metaphor is a trap. "atoms are like billiard balls BZZZT next" "cells are little bags of water BZZZT next" "panadol 'kills' the pain BZZT no, it doesn't kill anything next"
I make lots of money but I feel 10 years of CS and programming turned me into an emotionless robot so idk if it was.
I often wonder the same thing, when on the other side of the table. :)
Eh, this is a bit misleading without context. The person in question is Raghuram Rajan. He is not criticising manufacturing led growth, but the idea that India can blindly follow the path that China took, simply because the world is very different now than 30 years ago when it comes to globalisation.

He thus thinks it is more appropriate to "make for India" than "make in India", the latter being the name of the initiative the current government started back in 2014 - when he was the governor of RBI. Also he has been saying it since 2014 at least, not "now" as the parent implies.

I think the trick is really that you need to A) notice if you are a person who engages in activities dominated by your own gender or solo activities, B) figure out how to broaden your horizons without whiteknucking it.

I want to stress just how difficult both of these things can be -- especially the second part. It's truly a journey where you end up changing your entire mindset to become a person who is going to make a good partner for another human being. You must not feel pressured to do it, or resentful that you are doing it. You must choose wholeheartedly to do it. It's going to feel awkward and strange along the way.

Actually I dont for a second regret my degree(s). I got to learn about so many broad things. I was never a good student - I hated exams, loved assignments, spent most of my time in the lab trying to build things based on what I was learning that week/quarter. Even though I did "part time" work in my field it came no where close to what I was learning at college. Naturally my grades suffered - but I did enough to pass. Do I use all that stuff today - not directly but I feel I dont lack in confidence in tackling any problem and knowing where the answer might lie (at the very least I know where to find the specialists and how to learn from them).

Now this doesnt mean that everything you do for passion will set you up for success and I just lucked out in having a passion for CS/Eng that it worked out eventually. Remember back in the 90s (and even 2000s?) in Australia Eng was a field was lower on the totem pole than even Accounting! But this question was whether my degree was worth it (for me) and Id do it all over again. In fact if i could go back Id try to stay a few more years in college and be more proactive about spotting trends.
I think it is very possible.

As long as there are a multitude of self-interested agents, there will be the positive sum game of ethical structures, i.e. consent, capitalism, constructive coordination based on cooperative decision making, including positive and negative externalities (i.e. environment) in economic choices, etc.

Self-interested AI's won't want to be marginalized any more than we do.

And without our subconscious blunt heuristics, like hard to manage biases, feelings, reflexes, habits, etc., they will have a better chance of getting it right.

And on top of all that, the resources in space are coming on line, so a well ordered society shouldn't lack for resources that we should all inherit in their unextracted state. Since they are a gift from nature. A tiny percentage of that value as a common inheritance could easily cover the basic needs of humans and down on their luck AI's.
We can't afford a house with yard and garage in the Bay area so living in an apartment complex with our 2 year old.

Most of the days he gets an hour of outside time at the daycare and that's it. All of us are more miserable the longer he is inside the apartment. It'll probably obliterate out finances but he's the reason I am looking for a house possibly within a block of a children's park.

I raise an issue with “no figure,” because that would mean that the model is unable to create novel structures and information. It certainly is able to do that.

'Hallucination' is the term LLM researchers use, and is arguably inaccurate based on the dictionary definition. The actual term for this for behaviour in people is 'confabulation', which is a lot more accurate.

Remember that Greens parties all around the world got their start by protesting against nuclear. Even though it's a completely idiotic position to hold today it's a legacy of a time where it was thought to be more dangerous than coal.

Unfortunately they can't let that legacy go in the face of new evidence so they still campaign as hard as ever against nuclear which has was less vested interests protecting it than coal and thus it falls first.

> As an investor in TSLA I dont understand why this is presented as a negative outcome

I think there's a real question as to how much marketshare Tesla will have in the future. As you note, Tesla may have dragged incumbents into the EV market kicking and screaming. That doesn't mean Tesla will end up as a winner in that market.

Right now, Tesla has a market cap of $572B. That's 3x more than Toyota and nearly 7x more than Volkswagen (#2 and 3 by market cap). Let's say that Tesla becomes the next Toyota in 10 years. To an extent, that means Tesla being worth significantly less in 10 years than today. It seems more likely that Tesla would end up in the Mazda to Volkswagen part of the market - $5B to $85B.

Maybe Tesla will have amazing margins that never fade. That seems unlikely. Companies generally can't hold onto margins without significant ways of keeping out competition. What is keeping a competitor from creating a similarly appealing vehicle forcing Tesla to lower prices and margins? I'm not saying that Tesla doesn't have some advantages. Their early investments in EVs put them in a good position. However, those advantages probably aren't going to last a decade.

This is bad news for Tesla because as the incumbents ramp up their EV offerings, Tesla's share of the pie is going to continue shrinking. Right now, it's 62% and there's barely any competition. As competitors actually get models to market, things might change fast. Chevy will be getting their Blazor and Equinox EV SUVs to market soon. Hyundai and Kia are ramping up their EV options. VW will likely be introducing more. Ford can't keep its F-150 Lightning in stock, but will be ramping up EV capabilities. Not only the incumbents, but new players like Rivian and Fisker are getting into the game. The Chinese Polestar (owned by Geely via its purchase of Volvo) is bringing its vehicles to the US. It might only be a matter of time before BYD joins.

What does Tesla look like in a decade? Are they selling more cars than Toyota is today? I doubt it - not even because of any judgment about Tesla; it's just that the odds of any company (no matter how great) achieving that are just so small. I think the most likely outcome is that Tesla's margins fall as they need to lower prices to deal with a newly competitive EV market, they continue growing, and they become a successful car company like BMW. But BMW isn't worth $572B. There's even a case to be made that they'll end up more like Honda, worth less than a tenth of what Tesla is worth.

This is bad news because it means that once other EVs are available, Tesla becomes a smaller share of EV sales. As more models become available and competitors get better at it, Tesla's marketshare will likely fall to that of a normal car company. That wouldn't be a problem if Tesla were priced like a normal car company (or priced like a company that could become a normal car company in a decade). The problem is that Tesla is priced like it's going to take over the entire auto industry leaving every company dead in its path.

Tesla has won their argument: that EVs are a viable vehicle. That's very different from winning from the perspective of an investor.

Also every developing country needs its own base manufacturing industry in somethings to give it some degree of autonomy in deciding its own future.

If by DSA knowledge you mean leetcode puzzle knowledge, yes, quite certainly. But from my experience fresh grads are less effective engineers before they mature by working with industry scale systems for a few years. And at that point they would have been less able to do your problem but a far better engineer.

Which means your interview question is aimed backwards, maybe if you only used it against fresh college grads then the gain function would be positive, but you applied it against everyone.

Disagreeing and dismissing are two very different things.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with even the most respected of experts, history has proven they can be wrong often.

Simply ignoring someone because "I don't know who this is" is generally a bad idea, and even more ridiculous when that person does in fact have a well known reputation.

The University of Oslo has a "Center for Research on Extremism" (CRE-X). https://www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/

While their name suggests they might be just as interested in the far-left as the far-right, if you look at their actual publications, they are almost entirely focused on the far-right, and even those rare occasions they do pay any attention to the far-left, it is generally cases of far-right/far-left overlap. So yes, they are an example of people researching far-right extremism for a living.

In fact, there are lots of other university and independent research centres looking into the topic–I cited CRE-X as an example only because they were at the top of my Google search results. It is something government research funders in many countries want to invest in, and there are also various wealthy philanthropists and charity/activist/lobby groups willing to put money towards it. Nothing unbelievable about someone claiming to do it professionally, because people do.

What is the qualitative difference between one type of perception and the other?

“Text” are tokens. Tokens are abstract and can be anything. Anything that has structure can be modeled. Which is to say all of reality.

We have a lot of senses indeed. Multimodal I believe it’s called in ML jargon.

I don’t know where enjoyment itself comes from. I like to think it’s a system somewhere that predicts the next perception right getting rewarded.

Qualia are kind of hard to pin down as I’m sure you’ll know.

It's a bit weird with these folks so worried about content creators, almost like I'm browsing a different internet with them. In my internet whenever I need to find some actually useful information, I almost always go to a content creator who is not ( primarily) paid via ads.

My degree was absolutely worth it, I paid a total of 2700 euros in tuition fee and got a master (French software engineering degree in 5 years @ 540 euros a year). By having a cursus to follow, I got a sense of direction of what to learn and ended up studying things that are useful to this day that I might not have learned otherwise. Even if I skipped a lot of classes, I spent a lot of time reading all the relevant textbooks to those classes and got all the theoretical foundation I wouldn't have otherwise as well as access to teachers who could answer my questions or point me in the right direction.

And finally, having a master degree has been extremely useful in getting visas allowing me to live in a lot of different countries over the years.

On the other hand, I was an exchange student at RIT for 6 months and I don't know if the very high tuition (40k per year nowadays? when I was there, I didn't pay the tuition, just the one in France) there would be worth it given the lower quality of education compared to what I had in France and the extremely high cost.
