You know, they used to say the same thing about big mountains, right?

Here's a slightly older take on it from that era:

"""

People ask me, 'What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?' and my answer must at once be, 'It is of no use.'

There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever. Oh, we may learn a little about the behaviour of the human body at high altitudes, and possibly medical men may turn our observation to some account for the purposes of aviation.

But otherwise nothing will come of it. We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron...

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go.

What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy. And joy is, after all, the end of life. We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to live. That is what life means and what life is for.

"""

(That's from George Mallory, for the curious.)
So using jQuery from a CDN would also cause a fine?

This is a pleasant take. I may borrow the sentiment expressed here to help me describe some similar distinctions.
So the prototypical example of their stance is: their resistance was justified.
> There's quite a bit of substance behind the idea that it is problematic. (Already linked)

There isn't substance, it's willful misinterpretation. The joke/hoax/op whatever you want to call it is -right there-. It isn't an attack on a racial or ethnic group, it's an attack on a political identity.

Is attacking liberals now considered "hate"?

They are telling you what they are doing and, as predicted, their opposition is willing to play along.

> Whether something qualifies or not will be a consensus in a given community, location, timeframe, etc.

I feel like this statement is pretty sophomoric.
I don't think it does. Consent as a basis for data processing requires explicit opt-in. A 'do-not-track' header is opt-out.
For sure. Most of the time when I copy-paste code from one place to another, a change in one place doesn't imply a change in the other. I certainly have seen that happen though.
If my understanding and explanation are directionally correct, I’m happy. I’ll be the first one to admit I’m not a data scientist.

Do you have a good example of how an actual data scientist would present the idea of vectors as applied to sentences/documents to a layperson?

Totally. A few copy/pastes describes the author. An abstraction describes the project, and you have to be so careful here to not break (or dramatically widen) the mental models.
It makes me wonder- what would happen if we had wealth taxes on cash, but the money went to... no one?
Honestly it's possible that your scientific computing skills and experience would be more valuable. For example imagine doing a whole new deep learning degree program and they are just teaching you logarithms and some matrix calculus derivatives and how to use 'pip' that you already know right now.
Let's say you already have controllable nuclear power and you want to switch while maintaining capacity, best options seems to be either storage + renewable or fossil. Actual production on a given period is an orthogonal problem, we are discussing controllable capacity because you don't want population and industry to suffer and you plan carefully.

Now replacing nuclear capacity, with whatever else, in order to reduce total emissions doesn't make sense, you are doing this for a totally different purpose. Replacing nuclear capacity by investing in new fossil capacity, in order to reduce total emissions, doesn't sound that smart.

China collapse, happening any time now
My late grandmother used to see dreams of passed away relatives long before she died, as in decades. She told that she enjoyed having a good chat with them, and that the important part is to politely decline if they want you to follow them for whatever reason, as that would mean passing away. To her all of this was just common sense. Crazy to see it validated in actual research!

Thanks for sharing your beautiful story!

> here comes the race to create prompt engineering books and courses in. 24 hours to sell to other AI bros who think that they are prompting it wrong, not prompting hard enough or the prompting the wrong way.

That’s already been happening for a couple of months now.

Hilariously some of the AI bros that sell the AI prompting video lessons do not put effort into quality of the material of the videos. Instead they make use of the AI themselves to shovel out low quality garbage, which they then package as expert advice and sell to others.
No, quite frequently there are two lives less valuable than one. This is true on the many dimensions you can “measure” the value of lives.

What you think is objectively better with something as open ended as $300m is completely subjective.
Cookie banners exist not because of the GDPR, but because of Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX...):

Member States shall ensure that the use of electronic communications networks to store information or to gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned is provided with clear and comprehensive information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia about the purposes of the processing, and is offered the right to refuse such processing by the data controller. This shall not prevent any technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user.

It has been planned for a long time to replace the ePrivacy Directive with the ePrivacy Regulation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPrivacy_Regulation) which was actually going to replace the cookie banners with browser settings, but so far the ePrivacy Regulation is kind of stuck because of successfull lobbying by ad companies.
Yeah, that was supposed to be just my personal feeling for the thing. And it’s not even a description of consciousness but rather of something that I imagine might have a capacity for consciousness. I don’t think we’ll really know until we get there, and then we’ll know.

I was answering in the context of the statement that the EU made this cookie banner mess and that the do not track header died because of the GDPR.

I didn't feel that logs would be relevant in this case because you would log that the Do Not Track header was present.

As a distilled version of the GDPR I still feel it hits the point.

Earth is a spaceship, unfortunately somehow a bunch of monkeys went rampant
and now they're busy tearing up the life support system.

If we can satisfy their (limitless and still growing) hunger for energy and resources by exploiting the rest of the solar system, the monkeys can be kept pacified. That could buy us time to figure out a more permanent, and balanced, solution.

The great thing about the Moon/Mars/asteroid belt is that we can strip mine it. Can't ruin the ecosystem if there isn't one.

I can see it going a couple different ways:

1) The dichotomy between frontend vs backend dev evaporates entirely. Because GPT-x can churn out code so quickly, all devs will be expected to be fullstack and the job breakdown will be more like 20-30% coding (assisted by these tools) with the rest of the time spent on higher level concerns like architecture, security (and perhaps lots of meetings...) etc.

2) The vast majority of dev jobs simply get folded into business functions. So your product managers, accountants, etc will increasingly be expected to do prompt engineering work as part of the job. This change will probably take a while to happen and needs more work to occur on hooking up these tools to other tools like compilers and whatnot, but I'm pretty sure startups will emerge to tackle this. Companies that aren't developing any real tech as their main product/service simply won't need many devs anymore, although they might keep a few on staff here and there just in case the others need someone to step in from time to time. The only places that will need sizable numbers of actual devs will be the ones building brand new software - think new database sytems, compilers, device drivers, OS kernel work etc. - basically the really cutting edge stuff for which original research + thinking is needed. Since these tools tend to be trained on existing knowledge out there I'm not sure if they can be used to build brand new technologies from scratch... at least for now. But who knows what future iterations of these tools will lead to!

This case is included in the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by the same author.

No, it's pretty clear what tracking means.

The reason DNT failed is because the companies that benefit from tracking users also build web browsers, and can influence how the web is built. DNT directly impacts their revenue, so they have no incentive to make it a standard.

I don’t know what ANN is but your comment raises two questions in my mind -

1. Where did your first vector of [0.99, 0.3, 0.7] come from? You later present the concept of user vectors which are vectors for different cohorts of users but don’t name the first vector as a user vector.

2. I feel my example of vectors for “general population users” and “bible literalist blogger” user aligns with your “user vector” concept.

What blatant political statement?
> Give it 150 more years and all the current "mysteries" will appear more or less ridiculous.

My bet is in 150 years we will have even more questions, and maybe one or two solved ones.

Let’s look at history. If you were blind 500 years ago there was no cure. If you are blind now, while the life conditions might be better (guide dog, support from organizations) there is still no cure. We really do not know much.

Science is great, but, ironically, this blind optimism in it smells of religion. An old idea, not mine, from Nietzsche.
Let’s just say that as the person who introduced Tailscale within our org, it has been one of the most easiest solutions I ever had to convince my org of. Given the relative intrusiveness of switching a VPN provider (it touches a lot of core infrastructure), I expected a lot more resistance, but everybody was on board immediately.

In all honesty, Tailscale being so good, we never seriously looked at Zerotier. We only evaluated it on paper, not actually tried to use it.
I can see what you are saying, but i will ask you this.

Think about Nuclear Weapons.
I will suggest reading about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Schelling

The gist for me is that the more countries that have AI game-theory states that it is in the best interest of both AI itself ( as it where ) and nations to keep it under check.

I'm not writing a wikipedia article. If you want to disprove, feel free to add you own sources and knowledge. I legitimately would be really interested to read how Solar and Wind takes less space, cement and metal than nuclear per WH produced.
" It's not even possible to build new plants in time to stop global warming."

Of course that would be possible. It is a matter of investment and prioritizing.
But of course, the biggest problem would be "people like you" (to use your black and white terminology) that would block everything and add extra regulations that do not bring more security, but blockage out of principle.

But like I said, going 100 nuclear would not be my plan. I see them as a transition and backup on the way to 100% renewables.

What would be your plan? If you would have it your way and all the nuclear plants would have to stop tomorrow. How would you replace them? With what?
Can you give a concrete answer here?
And it seems you also want to stop all the coal plants. Great. But how to replace them in reality? Can you share concrete numbers and technologies you would use and not just agenda?

I don't like to have a coal or nuclear plant in the backyard either. But I also don't like blackouts.
In the end, SQL is what people are familiar with (for better or worse) and what is entrenched in some form in most database, and new versions of the standard are unlikely to change anything fundamental.

I don't believe that adding property graph support to SQL makes much of a difference for SQL and relational databases...

However, the PG query additions (I believe they are close to the Cypher language neo4j) being part of the SQL standard will give a boost to marketing and adoption of PG databases. Vendors can now say "our language follows the SQL standard" instead of referencing cypher and indirectly neo4j. Even if neo4j may have the best intentions, marketing is very important in databases and it is unlikely that vendors could have supported Cypher and thus admit that they are following neo4j rather than leading.

Standards can thus be valuable regardless of whether they are adopted or not and a lot of discussion and collaboration was likely necessary to get to this point re: the PG additions.

In this context, it is also worth mentioning the GQL standard here, which neo4j folks are part of

Yes, it would need to be a header saying "I authorise".

Except for the police, who call for gun control all the time, because of the obvious self interest.

You can see the policy paper of the International Association of Chiefs of Police:

https://www.theiacp.org/sites/default/files/2018-08/IACP%20F...

The IACP has been a strong supporter of the assault weapons ban since 1992, and our membership has approved several reauthorizations of support in the years since. The membership took this action because we, as law enforcement executives, understand that the criminal use of semiautomatic assault weapons pose a grave risk to our officers and the communities they are sworn to protect.

I wonder if there are locations along the dark side / light side border, where some of this water boils off during the 'daytime' heat, and then freezes again during darkness, and is just sitting on the surface as a fine layer of frozen crystals? I know there in very little atmosphere, but maybe just enough to hold a little water vapor? Maybe over time this would allow more accumulation in permanently shaded parts of the lunar landscape, including of course the dark side.
"migrating to programming languages that eliminate widespread
vulnerabilities."

"Some
examples of modern memory safe languages include C#, Rust, Ruby, Java, Go, and
Swift."

"Too often, backwards-
compatible legacy features are included, and often enabled, in products despite
causing risks to product security. Prioritize security over backwards compatibility,
empowering security teams to remove insecure features even if it means causing
breaking changes."

"While customer input is
important, the authoring agencies have observed important cases where customers have
been unwilling or unable to adopt improved standards, often network protocols. It is important
for the manufacturers to create meaningful incentives for customers to stay current and not
allow them to remain vulnerable indefinitely."

---

The fundamental challenge is that by the time a "secure default" has been universally agreed on, and implemented widely in a space, the target moves again. Meanwhile each vendor decides what is "most secure" based on what they have been able to implement. Businesses are left with the integration challenge, and maintenance burden, of operating equipment that changes underneath their feet with each upgrade/update in the name of "being more secure."

Government agencies could reduce the integration and adoption window by providing implementations of the "secure defaults" that were ready-to-use in the recommended programming languages. To do this they would need to be able to incentivize and recruit personnel that were capable of doing this, and adopt methods and practices that could produce such modules in a timely manner. Do governments want to distribute implementations that are usuable by any actor? Can they produce it in a timely manner? Would industry trust the implementation if it was produced by governments?

When "legacy features" are being asked for it is most likely because they have been shown to work, and integrate, well across the business. A new product may be perfectly secure, but is it usable? The last quote alludes to this, customers need to run the business to generate the revenue to afford the security.

In which case this‘ll hurt them no more than the current wide-spread incompatibilities between basic data types e.g. oracle not making a difference between NULL and an empty string, some databases defining storage limits in bytes where others use “characters” (whatever they mean by that), databases ignoring length limit versus truncating versus erroring (possibly the same database engine based on settings), …, and on top of that the database-specific limitations on indexing.

You can also ask why there is no espresso culture in US like in Italy... Italian espresso is much like Indian chai... Quick shot of caffeine ready in seconds and relatively cheap and ubiquitous...

Howard Schultz claimed in his book that he intended to re-create Italian espresso bar in US with Starbucks... He failed in my opinion as Starbucks is nothing like coffee bar... But I guess the culture difference explains that...

And also you can't upsell much on plain espresso or chai..
Starbucks and American type coffee shops in general are very much sweet shops with sugary coffee-based deserts. Different story... but better profit margins...
