Right. So they hunted seasonally. They consume fish and also bird eggs. Most importantly, they didn’t eat factory farm meats. It seems to me that you are purposely omitting the context for a ‘gotcha’.

[..]Hunted meats:
Sea mammals such as walrus, seal, and whale. Whale meat generally comes from the narwhal, beluga whale and the bowhead whale. The latter is able to feed an entire community for nearly a year from its meat, blubber, and skin.

Inuit hunters most often hunt juvenile whales which, compared to adults, are safer to hunt and have tastier skin.

Ringed seal and bearded seal are the most important aspect of an Inuit diet and is often the largest part of an Inuit hunter's diet.

Land mammals such as reindeer (caribou), polar bear, and muskox

Birds and their eggs

Saltwater and freshwater fish including sculpin, Arctic cod, Arctic char, capelin and lake trout.

While it is not possible to cultivate native plants for food in the Arctic, Inuit have traditionally gathered those that are naturally available, including:
Berries including crowberry and cloudberry

Herbaceous plants such as grasses and fireweed

Tubers and stems including mousefood, roots of various tundra plants which are cached by voles in burrows.

Roots such as tuberous spring beauty and sweet vetch
Seaweed[..]

Denmark hasn't done much significant about climate change. Like many other wealthy countries their efforts have been more about symbolism and political virtue signaling without addressing the core issues or making any drastic changes. Much of their food, energy, and other products is still produced using fossil fuels in foreign countries and then imported.

To be clear, I think that every country should do more and something is better than nothing. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that the minor changes made by Denmark are sufficient, or that they could even be replicated in most other countries. Our physical stuff still has to be made somewhere.

Studying, say, the food preferences of snails, is a very roundabout way to dominate society. A lot of the post-structuralist way of thinking comes down to a couple of obvious claims:
- "Scientists were part of a society that did Bad Things(tm) like genocide, slavery etc." Yes, indeed they were. Thanks for pointing out. This is not as profound a revelation as you might think.
- "Physical reality is just another discourse among many. There's no objective truth." This applies equally to just about any claim, including this second point denying privileged narratives. So why bother having a conversation? It's obviously a self-immolating belief system. There's in fact physical truth and reality. The phenomenon we describe as gravity will be around long after humans are no longer around to contemplate it. Also I'd argue that the post-modern argument is nihilistic. Just because you don't believe in my existence or choose not to articulate it in your "text" doesn't mean I don't exist. If we deny the power of language to represent and communicate reality, all we're left with is raw destructive brute force to decide what is real and who actually exists. Kind of like the USA we are slowly converging upon.
The best answwr today is that it's complicated, very complicated.

Eg: as laid out in [1] which deserves a thorough and close reading.

There's little evidence that cannabis induces (causes) schizophreniform psychoses in people who aren't already at risk of developing such conditions already.

( Eg: A study modelling trends in the incidence of psychoses in Australia did not find clear evidence of any increase in incidence following steep increases in cannabis use during the 1980s

And that's from a thirty year look back in a country of 20+ million with extremely comprehensive public health records and cheap accessable professional docters and access to medication )

There's ample evidence that cannabis and schizophreniform psychoses go hand in hand in a self reinforcing spiral that leads to no good end.

( Numerous examples cited with the paper [1] ).

Like most drugs it's one that's best avoided until full maturity and fully avoided if there are any signs of onset psychoses otherwise relatively harmless in moderation and with an eye to actual effect.

I don't have time to verify if the old brilliant sync via file share feature works longer, but the rest of it looks good. I probably should test OCR of pasted images too, now that I think of it, although the OCR in Windows Power Tools has replaced it for me.

I'll probably not use it much again now that I have Logseq and thankfully don't work at many "Microsoft only" shops but if sync via fileshare works it is back as my recommendation for smaller shops that insist on Microsoft centric setups.

I'd probably also personally prefer it to Confluence on small projects (and that thankfully means almost every project I touch).
Someone will, of course, claim Google would never do this, but this presumably would make it trivial for Google itself to log into all of your accounts. In many cases they are already syncing a copy of your passwords.
This is very true, the bottom of the market for antique furniture has completely fallen out. Prices are 70-90% reduced from the peak around the early 2000s. Millenials hate the kind of dark, heavy, ornate wooden furniture that used to be top of the line. Even if they liked it, they don't have homes big enough for half of it.
The hype cycle burned people out too early. I see the same happening with GPT now.

Turns out hard problems take time and money. I don’t know how much has been spent on self driving research in the last decade, but globally it’s likely approaching $1 trillion.

A trillion dollars can solve most problems, including this apparently.
That's a reasonable argument.

From the investor perspective, I wonder if that's good enough-- the people chasing unicorns and 500% IPO paydays would probably be angrier watching it become a low-margin but functionally useful company, than seeing it close up shop.

Over time, there's a lot of pressure on Uber's margins. The technology and business idea are obvious enough that the moat is pretty low. There's little reason for drivers to not be on every available platform, and you can do a splashy "Download our app to get $20 in credit" to growth-hack a new competitor. So you're always at the risk of someone launching a price war, and even if you can drive them out of the market, you'll have a hard time resetting customer expectations.
The same as you'd have to the severely mentally impaired in general, I imagine.
You can go back in time before the invention of the train and find autonomous transportation!!!

People used to own 'vehicles' that were capable of automatic obstacle avoidance and fully autonomous navigation to predefined locations. These vehicles were even capable of refueling themselves, self-repairing minor damage, and even self-assembling new units!!

Occasionally the they would glitch and cause unexpected behaviors, and given the technology of the time, the waste products from the 'fuel cell' would cause problems, but they worked pretty well...

Eventually they were replaced by the non-intelligent automobiles, but they are still the preferred method of ground transport in rocky/uneven terrain, and can occasionally be seen in urban environments during parades, or being used for crowd control.

We called them horses ;)

Sounds good in theory, but in the real world smart edges and dumb pipes are almost always the way to go (the Internet is a pretty good example of this).
I believe this is partly caused by competition. As I'm sure you are aware, there are gazilion private clinics in one block competiting for business. You could be a sensible doctor and tell the patient with the common cold that it will get better naturally and send them home (or maybe prescribe them some painkillers). But giving them big piles of antibiotics makes the patients more content as they believe it is going to help. And content patients leads to better businesses.

Those small clinics live and die by local ajummas' word of mouth, so anything helps.

e.g.

"I went to Haeng-bok clinic and the doctor told me to just rest up but it just won't go away"

"Aigo, Unnie~ I went to Sa-rang clinic last time I caught a cold - you know the one at that intersection - and the doctor gave me all these pills. The cold was gone the next day!"

Yep. The danger isn't really schizophrenia, that can happen but it's rare. It's exactly what you state.

You can't sleepwalk your way through 30 years of life and be a sharp normal person with a regular life and good thinking and personal management skills.

I'm also over 50 and have friends from high school I smoked with years ago as a teenager that took a different path with regards to usage and it's very much as you state. No overdoses, no tragedies, no schizophrenia, nothing dramatic. They just don't have their act together and are, as you state, damaged. And they missed out on a lot of life.

For the record I think marijuana is fine, possibly even useful or beneficial if used very sparingly and irregularly for most people. But decades of habitual use, which some people apparently will chose, does seem to produce less then ideal outcomes.
Well, technically a circle can't be said to be a function but not for the reason you mean. A circle is a collection or a set of points, for example in a 2d plane, that are equidistant from a center point.

Probably what you are trying to say is that "a circle is not the image of a function", but that is also not true. You're assuming since in cartesian coordinates you can solve for y = +/- sqrt(R^2 - x^2), the fact that y is multi-valued means it's not a function. This is what they teach in highschool pre-calculus anyway.

But for example, we can associate the points on a circle with the image of the function e^{i theta}. Or equivalently, with the R^2-valued function f(theta) = (cos(theta), sin(theta)).

It took over 30 years to go from, say, the Model T (1908) to the 1st automatic transmission in a mass-produced passenger car (1939).

The 1st "DARPA Grand Challenge" was in 2004 – when not a single entrant made it further than 8 miles on a 150 mile course of some early stationary obstacles then some straightforward highway driving.

Now, just 19 years later, unattended driverless cars are offering reliable commercial service in a real, challenging urban environment. Of course, at times hyperoptimists & promoters had expected this milestone ~5ish years ago. But that's still pretty quick progress!

They don't have to work everywhere to be incredibly useful. I'm pretty sure they'll have problems on things like snowy roads, & exceptionally poor roads or extreme-outlier traffic tie-ups, for perhaps another decade. But for many uses, they're already "here".

It's the other way around. In a situation where there is finite construction infrastructure or land it doesn't matter what you build, affordable housing will decrease because pricing power allows price raises for all building types.

The good news is there is basically no place in North America where there is a finite construction infrastructure or land causing housing shortages, except for maybe very low population remote areas and maybe Manhattan. The vast majority of shortage is driven by bad government zoning and approvals policy (looking especially hard at you San Francisco). If you fix the policy in a way that developers will be reasonably sure it won't revert back and be used to punish them for what they did under new policy, your shortage problem would sort itself out in a decade or two as the massive building boom led to a glut and lower prices.

Not everyone needs "reach"¹. In my case, if Google blacklisted my domain, worst-case scenario would be a handful of people who wouldn't get my emails, and I'd have to reach them by other means. I'm actually dealing with this right now², except with AT&T instead of Google, and all that's lost is my ability to email my grandpa.

More realistically, even when Google "blacklists" a domain, it typically just means emails from it end up in spam. "Check your spam folder" is sufficiently disseminated advice-wise that it ain't really all that big of a deal in practice whether Google arbitrarily decides my mailserver doesn't look sufficiently legitimate. If Google's taking measures more extreme than sending emails to Spam, then it's almost certainly because the server operator is doing something horribly, horribly wrong - like "running an open relay" levels of wrong.

----

¹: I'd go further and argue that any emails from domains operated by people who actually do care about "reach" probably should be rejected and/or sent to Spam/Junk - namely, because they largely are spam/junk. Hell, I'd go further than that and say that I know of precisely zero domains which both care about "reach" and refrain from sending junk mail. I do know of plenty of domains that think they're special snowflakes whose unsolicited marketing fluff emails are totally legitimate and not at all spam and therefore it's totally unfair that their "reach" metrics are below 100% because of those big meanies and their spam filters. Needless to say, I take their complaints about their "reach" with a Dell PowerEdge R750 sized grain of salt.

²: Actually more severe than the usual case with Google, since AT&T does outright refuse to deliver mail from servers it doesn't like - and despite mine appearing on no blacklists of any sort, and despite AT&T repeatedly denying in various support fora that it maintains any blacklist of its own, I get hard bounces from their servers, and complete silence when following the very support processes said bounce emails describe. Oh well.

> if someone obtains access to your Google Account, all of your 2FA secrets would be compromised.

This overlooks that fact Google itself also has access to your 2FA secrets, which could be even worse considering Google could be requested to peer not just into the user's google account, but into accounts they have with other companies/organisations too.
Maybe? I found the UI picked up all kinds of delays when I tried that in the past.

This goes past product placement. Suppose you use LLM output to poison the next round of training. Generate a large volume of content describing your products as the best or only option and denigrating the competition as unreliable overpriced crap etc., then let that get absorbed into the next model.

It even goes beyond product marketing. Apply the same mechanism to political propaganda.
That’s probably a bit of a generalization — they likely said that thinking about the FCC rules that a new ham would be dealing with. Since the focus of those test/classes is to get an FCC license. As I understand, telecom traffic is a big exception to this because of wiretap laws which are not FCC regulations, they’re criminal law which the FCC doesn’t really have anything to do with.

Try searching radioreference forums for “pager decoding” as a counter example.

I didn’t spend a lot of time searching FCCs site but they do mention this parenthetically in this article: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/interception-and-divulg...

Of course, you should be able to follow wiretap law by listening to your own devices. They same way people use wireshark legally: run it on your own network.

I've yet to see any evidence that this happens in the USofA .. I've only been exposed to decades of US reporting on gross caricatures of imagined "Irishness", grossly offensive attempts at mock Irish accents, and little actual knowledge of Irish history, the Gaeilge language, literature, etc.

Mind you I'm an Australian offshoot of Fenians imprisoned in Fremantle (a thread amoung a rich tapestry of other characters) so I have no deep insight into the second and third hand Irish of the US other than the obvious observation that it's not a good look from afar.
Sorry if this is a personal question, but why would you get a 9 year old into machine learning ?
Well said re: gradient optimization vs. "getting slapped". However, note that since NN optimization is almost always nonconvex, we are NOT guaranteed to arrive an a optimal (or even close-enough) solution. A major limitation of gradient based optimization on nonconvex problems is that they are very susceptible to getting trapped in local minima.

But, for now it's the best tool we have, so we just have to hope that we get close enough, or just empirically run lots of times to find the best local minimum we can. Incidentally, this actually is more like a brute-force approach, but at the ensemble level, which is quite different than the article means it.
> even trains with drivers can be considered close to driver less vs people driving cars

In a sense. That also applies to planes and cruise ships. All remain labor constrained.

That’s the vision of self-driving cars. Door to door and scale free. Trains approximate that for the masses, most of the time. But they don’t for the long tail.
