It depends on what we mean by "creative".

A person who's gone to the moon, say, is creat-ive when they write a book about what it was like. In that they are creating a new book, with new content, that could not be written by any one else.

This places a certain sort of discovery at the heart of creativity; and I think that's what I find critical.

Yes, a person is typically more "creative in their thinking", the more broadly read they are. But that "creativity" is just a repetition unless they make some discovery.

Eg., a such as the impressionist painters, that visual perception is impressionistic -- that lead to a revolution in painting.

Yes those artists were "well read" in that they'd probably seen a lot of art. And yes they could appear creative by being able to use that experience to paint. But real creativity came from discovery.

And that's what animals are: fundamentally embedded into a world where each experience is a discovery; each moment of time is novel -- and we are all creativity adapting to it. For some, that discovery revolutionises an area and we call them "creative geniuses" -- but we're all doing the same thing.

They're just skilled enough to capitalise on it

> why would that need a blockchain (even without proof of work), as opposed to simple signed, timestamped, indexed posts and having the reading client app check the signature and post indices?

Yeah, that's exactly what SSB does, plus each post includes a hash of the previous post.

I think that's so that even the holder of the private key can't retroactively replace an old post with an altered version of that post (but with the same index number and similar timestamp).
Physical structure works by its own rules, mathematical structures work by our rules. For example, in mathematics you can complete an infinite process, because there's no time in mathematics, it can just be assumed out of existence. It can't be done with physics, because physics isn't affected by our assumptions.
> Another one is the question, whether gender dysphoria results from mental illness, or the other way around.

[We have the data](https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1909367116), being trans is identifiable as early as 2-3yo, from the moment gender differences in behavior become apparent, long before any capacity to comprehend and adhere to complex expectations of boogeyman "transtrender parents".

You want to be treated as arguing in good faith, but fail to research the subject, propose questions that assume the conclusion, bring up vague anecdotes contrary to the statistics you're unwilling to consider, and disregard the fact that transgender children suffer from lack of treatment just as hard as wrongly treated cisgender children.

This is literally the use case for docker. If you want to develop within the environment, you can easily use VSCode remote ssh extension to develop straight on containers.
I still very vividly remember the beginning days of ML when it was called "big data". We just need to collect all the data and then the ML can learn and find patterns "that is improbable for humans to [find] because of the sheer dimensions of connectivity of the graph."

Now we are over that point and we are not anymore just collecting anything. We going to reduce the number of the data points in the first place like we have done before "big data" was a thing. Because with edge computing we don't have the resources to do real big data anymore and we have to think what its worth and what to get rid of.
I'm not sure what you're getting at?

The browser landscape today is composed of practically just one browser: Chrome. It is easier than ever to get browsers (read: Chrome) to implement different rendering schemes based on identifiers or descriptors provided by web devs.

Supporting the latest and greatest is a great marketing ploy, browsers (read: Chrome) are incentivized to support them. Browsers that don't will be forced to support them lest they become even further irrelevant.

> it’s not like Haskell programs are suddenly without fault

I never said that. But would you claim that Haskell programs are generally more faulty / less stable than Erlang programs?

> Just because you have a Result type doesn’t mean you actually properly/meaningfully handle the error at all

Okay, but the same is true for Erlang and the BEAM.

> it may just happen that “restart” is the correct solution

Yeah, but is very easy to do with Rust and Haskell or even just on the infrastructure level (i.e. restart the failed container/instance).

> Also, Rust is not safe from dead/live locks and many other concurrency issues, only data race free.

How is Erlang safe from those things in a way that cannot or only with a lot of effort be replicated when using Rust?
What whitewashing?
Consistently for almost a century (world war stats altered things) young male suicides rates have been approx 4x that of young women (IIRC).

That itself is of note and worth discussion, but in the context of "this is happening here and now!!" it's not anything new, sudden or different.
Though that might just as well mean that typed language projects, like those in Java have actually survived long enough to have turned into that.

Now let's apply this to the modern days, where declaring yourself as a conservative can kill your career and activists feel justified in screaming to your face on the street if you refuse to regurgitate their rally cries.
Amazon cranks up AI competition against Microsoft, Google with new cloud tools
not yet, but this is something we will work on (probably next year)
Cool. Now go on a few forums and ask it in public, to large numbers, and see who responds more favorably and who responds less favorably. Hint: it is almost always women who are far more unaccepting of it than men, with a pretty significant margin.

This is the tip of the iceberg. Once you actually delve into the differences, who says them in what stages of life and why, you'll quickly see how deep this rabbit hole goes and what a gross oversimplification "well men and women both don't like it" is, and why these kind of articles do nothing but harm both men and women in the long term.

ChatGPT for sure can be creative, but it lacks 1 thing: real life world experience.

For example, as a senior software developer, I'm not convinced pure unit testing is always the way to go. I was thinking about writing my own alternative and how to weigh the benefits against the drawbacks. I was querying ChatGPT about it, but it's just able to restate the current "common knowledge".

So yes, ChatGPT can come up with new concepts. It however, cannot find out the problems, issues and unexpected consequences of applying it in the real world. Somehow, these things will have to be fed into it again, in either the form of text, images or video.

99% of current writing can be replaced by ChatGPT. But this 1% of things only people with real world experience can come up with, it cannot do.

The Universal – Questions Concerning the Internet
I started to watch the Beam video, and here is some immediate and simple constructive criticism:

(1) Have the picture of your face BIGGER. Then SMILE and be HAPPY, even a little enthusiastic.

(2) Don't drop your voice volume at the end of sentences. Speak VERY clearly: Enunciate the words clearly. E.g., write out the narration and practice reading it.

(3) Be sure the room and microphone give good sound quality. Have the sound volume HIGH, TOO high, and let the users reduce the sound volume at their end if they wish.

(4) If you know a women who would do you a favor, have her do the narration. Write out carefully a clear narration you want her to say. Better still if she is reasonably pretty, not glamorous but professional and still pretty.

(5) There is a lot of numerical data on your screen that is unreadable to 80+% of your target audience. If some text or data is unreadable, then reformat it or just omit it from the presentation. Generally don't put anything on the screen that is unreadable. In simple terms, use a large font 100% black on a white or at least light background.

(6) Early in the video there is a graph. There are two curves that are easy to see, but there is annotation on the two axes that is unreadable due to being too small and not dark enough. For such annotation, make it big, black, and easy to read.

(7) You may be assuming too much for your best targeted audience, the one with nearly all your candidate customers. E.g., I'm doing a startup, a Web site, have the code running as intended, likely will want some analytics, but so far have had no occasion to find out just what "Google Analytics" is. So, I'm a candidate customer, but to sell to me something or someone will have to give me at least a 101 level introduction to Web site analytics -- it is to your advantage for the part of your audience that needs the 101 introduction for that someone to be you.

Hard disagree. Finding 'water' trapped in glass beads isn't something useful to us. Converting that to potable or even just liquid water will take far more energy than taking that water out of Earth's gravity well using conventional rockets.

The universe is still a harsh, bleak, unforgiving, inhospitable, irradiated wasteland of empty nothingness. Humans need very specific temperatures, air pressures, atmospheric compositions to survive. Humans need food that also needs those things to survive. We can alter extra terrestrial objects to suit our needs, but that costs us energy, materials, and money/time. Right now, we are far too busy chasing fads and trinkets, and bashing in the skulls of our own fellows to be able to manage this.
That hasn't been true for optimizing compilers either.
yes, we pay maintainers. See "giving back" in our blog post from last year:

I sort of agree with you on that. I guess I'd like to see it not in the main body of the regulation, but as an additional law/regulation/addendum that reflects the current state.
What exactly is the problem with Google Maps UX on public transports? It works amazingly well for me.
The simplest way is to get her (if she isn't already) to use a free (and open source) program, and when she gets used to it, get her to build it from source and tinker around, see how it works and how it can be modified. Maybe get her to fix a bug and contribute the patch upstream - that could be a memorable experience.

Thankfully, a lot of free (and open source) software is written in Python, so the choice is wide.

I really like the trait system, but “refreshing” might not be the correct word given that it is pretty much what Haskell had for I don’t even know how many years.
Doesn't same question apply to any content you're about read? How can you know that the blog post/article writer didn't "hallucinate"?
> These CS academics need to understand that this is what it feels like to be in other fields like physics or bio where you can’t do jack unless you have costly equipment. This is what people in developing countries deal with all the time.

This was my thought too. It cost approximately $4.75 billion to build the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. My educational background is in physics, but I would not be the least bit upset if a big chunk of public research funding was shifted from physics to CS/ML/AI. It’s obviously far more important to the future of humanity than finding the Higgs boson.
> No. Coal is used to generate electricity.

No, in the first place it's used to generate heat, which is also used for generating electricity, but also to heat up homes and other systems. Nuclear Plants are simply not in a location where they can serve this purpose.

Yes. There are a number of powerful self-hostable open-source website analytics solutions, for example https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo.
The opposite it also true though: Using a memory safe language where it's not strictly necessary is not justifiable (e.g. Rust is essential for implementing a sandbox - for instance a WASM VM, but not for code running inside that sandbox - because the whole point of a sandbox is that it can run untrusted, unsafe code safely).
It’s not just a political organisation, it’s a political movement that completely reorganised and changed Russian society since 1917. One may argue, that it’s the reason behind accelerated economic and scientific development that lead to space exploration.

Anything can be used for fingerprinting. Your GPU can be used for fingerprinting. Your fonts can be used for fingerprinting. MIDI is so far down the list of fingerprinting threats.

If Mozilla are really serious about fingerprinting then they need to remove <canvas> right now and make every website render in Times New Roman.

Fingerprinting cannot be solved by disabling browser features in a standard browser. It can be mitigated by using content blockers such that the fingerprinting code never runs, or by using a specialist browser like the Tor browser.

We did not need to defend against predators since at least a thousand years, very likely for a much longer time frame. The latest enemies weren't some wild beast, it was famine and infighting. I doubt we have really moved beyond either to be honest.

But still, the point I was trying to make is that if this is relevant to shape behavior and didn't happen yet, it doesn't have to happen between 1970 and 2023.
Not necessarily, might be just an observer.

You would be shocked, but it is very similar in EU countries too.
"According to Deleuze, philosophy begins with a faire l’idiot – with ‘making oneself an idiot’. Thinking is characterized not by intelligence but by idiocy. Every philosopher who creates a new idiom, a new thinking, a new language, is an idiot. The philosopher bids farewell to all that went before. A philosopher inhabits a virgin, hitherto undescribed immanent level of thinking. By adopting the principle of faire l’idiot, thinking risks the leap into the altogether other, ventures on untrodden paths. The history of philosophy is a history of idiocy, of idiotic leaps: ‘The old idiot wanted indubitable truths at which he could arrive by himself: in the meantime he would doubt everything … The new idiot has no wish for indubitable truths … and wills the absurd – this is not the same image of thought.’ Artificial intelligence cannot think because it is incapable of faire l’idiot. It is too intelligent for becoming an idiot."

If we believe the Windscribe words about only having hashes and an encryption key to compare, an email hash is still an unique identifier and may still break the GPDR policy depending of your country/state. Most emails hashes will be pretty weak to crack even with a 10 years old GPU and a few data sets. john.doe1990@gmail.com hash can be cracked in a matter of minutes although i guess j0h7jkajsdb@gmail.com is safe. It is pretty sad to see that a company like Windscribe and Yegor that has been blaming the VPN industry shady behaviours for years are now part of the gear by trying to hide a possible private agreement with a signed NDA to not make it public and turn it into a good samaritan offer. There was many ways to help all those customers that ended up without service, but this is probably one of the worst ones. Unfortunately we will never know what really happened since there was zero transparency with the WeVPN customers.

Eden Rock

By Charles Causley

They are waiting for me somewhere beyond Eden Rock:
My father, twenty-five, in the same suit
Of Genuine Irish Tweed, his terrier Jack
Still two years old and trembling at his feet.

My mother, twenty-three, in a sprigged dress
Drawn at the waist, ribbon in her straw hat,
Has spread the stiff white cloth over the grass.
Her hair, the colour of wheat, takes on the light.

She pours tea from a Thermos, the milk straight
From an old H.P. Sauce bottle, a screw
Of paper for a cork; slowly sets out
The same three plates, the tin cups painted blue.

The sky whitens as if lit by three suns.
My mother shades her eyes and looks my way
Over the drifted stream. My father spins
A stone along the water. Leisurely,

They beckon to me from the other bank.
I hear them call, “See where the stream-path is!
Crossing is not as hard as you might think."

I had not thought that it would be like this.

The article gave me a new perspective on this poem. I had thought of the final line as the narrator's surprise at the way that grief affected them. But it could equally well be describing the narrator's experience of their own approaching death.
> Why do jumped-up little bureaucrats always appropriate other people’s power of choice

They don't. What they say is that businesses shouldn't assume that people's private data is theirs for the taking. People still have the choice to opt-in to pervasive tracking.
>Thanks, I dont' want to do business with someone who didn't understand the comment yet responds with "Do better".

You're a saint, and I mean that sincerely.

Anyone more down to earth would be ecstatic to conduct business with a self-professed naive individual, because the art of business is ripping someone off without pissing them off.
You can do, but how many people actually do that in practice when building an understanding of the relative size of regions, relative to looking at them on a flat map?
So we have an individual that has travelled overseas to earn more money than he would be able to make at home, to better support his family. That is not a slave and calling it slavery cheapens actual slavery IMO.

Now, having said that, the conditions are appalling and the employers do many unscrupulous and illegal things. But it is a voluntary arrangement unlike slavery.
What he means, that accidents happen. Same accidents that took so many American astronauts’ lives with a very sophisticated hardware, not something done first time in the history.

It’s bizarre how you invent stuff between the lines to support some bias.
> The price of a seat in the House of Lords is £400,000

The price to buy a seat from Boris was nearly an order of magnitude cheaper - but he also sold a lot of seats that he can not fulfill.
I thought that too, a year ago. But then chatGPT Turbo came out (ten times cheaper), and a slew of 30B and 10B models that are decent. Now I believe we will be able to run non-trivial AI on trivial hardware. Not to mention the Stable Diffusion revolution, hardware requirements went down pretty fast. Even an old GPU from 5 years ago can generate images quickly. Some LLMs run on iPhones.

The trick is always to offset the cost of inference with larger cost of training. You don't apply the Chinchilla scaling law, that's for academics and people who don't have to pay for inference. You pretrain the model 10x longer (like 1T tokens for LLaMA) to make it the best you can fit into an A100 or 4090 quantised to 4 or 3 bits. So everyone can have AI assistants running on their own toys.
