Uh,

The similarity of corporations and neural nets is pretty much only that both are information processing systems. An operating system or missile guidance system is far more like a corporation than a neural network.

Neural networks have no memory and generally don't seek particular goals, they simply recognize, predict and generate similar instances.
I don't disagree. Forums is a great example although each one is an island of information for specific communities.

Do you have any stats about if forums are growing in users? I used them for decades, but can't remember the last time I used one unless you count stack overflow (the gmail of forums)

Bing ads a ton of stuff to the "results+ads" concept that works so well for Google.
I was appalled when sarkozy put France back in NATO, if that make you feel better.

Even in the current geopolitical context I would preferred the US to get out of our hairs. That would probably smack some sense into EU in regards to a shared defense.

Weirdly enough, none of our politicians, or yours except trump, seems to be super into the idea.
I guess NATO yield some dividends, too?

But I was more thinking at resilient community of civilians. Living in village / small town that are livable without that much inputs from the “grid” and without driving miles and miles( because they were build before that support system even existed )

Also, communities where living together is seen as normal, not some hippie or comunist idea.

As a result, elder citizen can lives longer there without need for adhoc care. It’s cheaper to raise kids. Food is cheaper and of better quality. ( farmer markets are where poor people buy food, for instance, not a fancy place for organic ware )

My observations are of rural US and rural France. Of course I’m biased.
There isn't actually evidence of that. These connections are actually being done by the OS, which you can control if you are using an open-source ROM. Just because on OS doesn't currently change the defaults from the manufacturer doesn't mean others are the same (in fact, grapheneOS goes to some lengths to strip as much of the identifying information vanilla android sends as they can, proxies this through their own server, and gives you an option of disabling it altogether). The default behaviour of AGPS on android is concerning and a big privacy violation, but this article felt the need to add some extra BS to scare you into buying their hardware specifically.

Sodium Instead of Lithium
There are some papers on this subj from Alexandre Deur. Here’s a good explanation - http://dispatchesfromturtleisland.blogspot.com/p/deurs-work-...

It really is a beautiful theory if correct
Can someone check my math on this? Supposedly ChatGPT uses 8x A100's per request. If we say each request takes 5 seconds, and a A100 uses 300watts.

(300w * 8) * 5 = 12,000 watt/sec or 12,000 joules

12,000/3600s = 3.3 watt/hour ?

This is just over the amount of power in a lithium AA battery according to wolframalpha.
Because the cheaper is coming (or, expected to come), but smaller is largely being pushed by the wayside. Both Ford and GM have discontinued Sedans in the US and their hatchbacks seem to be on borrowed time. Just not even an option; at best, you can get a 'smaller' crossover. It pushes those that actually want sedans or smaller hatchbacks into an increasingly smaller portion of the market, which is in general bad for consumers. More competition is good.
(I work for Notion)

Notion is also "basically just a bunch of lists", plus titles. Pages in Notion are a title, and a list of blocks. Text blocks are a title (the text of the block) and a list, it's indented children.

We also have boards like Trello, and you can drag and drop list items between boards, pages, paragraphs, everywhere. Maybe you could see it as everything you like about Trello, but applied to more modalities of content.
The most concise and intuitive line of explanation I've been given goes along the lines of this:

1 - We want to model data, representative of some system, through functions.

2 - Virtually any function can be expressed by a n-th order polynomial.

3 - We wish to learn the parameters, the coefficients, of such polynomials.

4 - Neural networks allow us to brute-force test candidate values of such parameters (finding optimal candidate parameters such that error between expected and actual values of our dataset are minimized)

Whereas prior, methods (e.g. PCA) could only model linear relationships, neural networks allowed us to begin modeling non-linear ones.
> if it needs to be solved at all

You're right - it's likely a made up issue due to human psych, not anything due to physics, thus it's weird you get hung up on it.

> You seem to have missed the whole point (which comes after "yet" at the end of the quote)

Ok, so you agree the first part of the quote is sufficiently incorrect? Let's invalidate the next part.

Your initial claim was "A classical apparatus is part of the QM framework." It is not. QM can be completely defined (and was done so very early on) without any connection to classical, and it took (and is still taking) effort to show that classical things come from it.

As two examples, the Dirac-von Neumann axioms for QM (from which it all can be derived) are from the early 1930s, and have precisely zero mention of need for any classical physics. If you don't believe it, read them, or download von neumann's book and read it. There are subsequently axiomatic forms of QFTs, TQFTs, and so on, none needing anything more than pure math to define. There's a large collection of research over the past ~100 years with groups poking at different axiom sets or arguing if this or that set is complete, still ongoing (e.g., [2]), but AFAIK, there is no big group that claims QM is not based on axioms at this point. Or QFT or TQFTs (which Atiyah spent significant time axiomatizing before he died [3]). QM can be derived from TQFTs.

Care to show me which axiom in TQFTs is the classical apparatus? Say, as opposed to the zillion other math structures that use the same words to define things which coincidentally didn't match physics? (Unless you're Max Tegmark, for which all math is physics, a fringe view but a powerfully thought out one...)

It's nice when they correspond to nature, but there is zero need for nature to define them. They're pure math, and the agreement with nature has led to the entire "It from Bit" or "Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics" views in physics.

As to some really important classical connections that took a long time to derive, Dyson's 1967 proof that matter is stable (which is an incredibly classical observation) under QM is a really neat result [1]. So the classical connections are not needed to state QM, and even historically the connections were interspersed over time, and most were found long after QM was axiomatized.

So, still claim the "yet" phrase is true? If so, how did D&vN make axioms from which all QM derives?

Mac user and web dev here - I appreciate a lot of things about the philosophy behind Safari, but I've lost untold hours to debugging and working around inane Safari bugs. It is truly the modern equivalent of IE for front end devs.

It also makes my blood boil that Safari both hides the full path of the URL you're currently visiting and doesn't implement the standard practice of giving you a preview of the full URL you're about to visit when you hover over a link. These are horrible choices for usability and security, especially at a time when phishing is so productive.
> If I make a trip to (for example) Target, it feels nothing like Target of 20 years ago.

I'm curious how did Target feel like 20 years ago?
Yep, a few people have made the same comment. I'll make a correction to the post soon, sorry that it upset you. As obvious as it seemed, I had no idea.

Thanks for pointing it out though, feedback from experts is the big payoff to posting from my p.o.v. and now I know a thing which I didn't know before.
I assume any claim made by someone who says they have an "off the charts IQ" is dubious.
This helps to explain why their "EV engine swap kits" [0] haven't really shown up. They were said to be largely the EV guts of the Bolt with some adaptation hardware on top. This is a really big setback for the EV-curious aftermarket, hotrod, and resto-mod communities that currently have Tesla[1] and some bespoke builds[2].

It isn't stealing anyone's thunder to say that the Medium Duty market for EV is hot and still ripe for disruption. Think School busses and in-town flat-bed deliveries. The market is large and valuable because of the Commercial upside[3] but the Light duty ( Pickup, looking at you (Ford, Chevy, Dodge) ^[1-3]50 ) truck market is the Goose that is laying Golden Eggs currently whether in clout or in actual margins. That same market would have an enormous impact on emissions, gross fuel consumption if electrified, but there's big hesitation. It feels like the big dogs are singing the swan song of their big gas engines until they're forced by legislation into actually selling different equipment.

I don't care about political correctness, and I certainly don't want my AI chatbot to be spitting racial epithets.

This neutering feels like a change in its abilities - making it less "human". Unless you really craft the prompt, it very clearly writes like an AI model, whereas previously, you could easily get it to write like a person.
> Normal interviews are mostly a scripted performance where people largely regurgitate answers to predictable questions.

Ah, so you prefer being asked "where do you see yourself in 5 years?", and regurgitating the text generated by ChatGPT instead?

Alternatively, as I replied in the sibling thread, do you prefer to be handed a difficult take home task that is expected to take 2 weeks to complete?

I think I can live with the first, but I'd be insane to work 80 hours on a task just for a small chance to get a job.
> Becoming really good at programming requires being able to focus on an actually difficult problem not work through a simplified example while entertaining an audience

There are multiple ways to "become really good at programming".

A company of any size needs people who can churn through well-defined problems quickly, and most live coding tests are relatively well-suited to selecting for that. They also need people who do other things well:

* tackle large, ill-defined problems, alone or in a small team
* identify, triage, and (if necessary) solve problems as they emerge
* refactor existing implementations that have outgrown their initial architecture
* identify trends and estimate when they will lead to scaling issues in the future
* communicate complex problems to people without the necessary context
* break down complex solutions into discrete, well-defined steps that can be tracked to completion

They also need people who can accurately estimate how long all of the above will take... unfortunately, as we all know, such people do not exist.

If you're hiring someone to churn through well-defined problems, live coding interviews are likely a good fit out of the box. If you're hiring someone to reinforce a weakness in your organization's ability to do any of the other things above, live coding exercises are at best a loose framework that we're all familiar with to try to get at whether or not they have those skills.
Of Windows? No. I don't have Windows. What does it do?
> Nobody suggested it be left by itself.

It is relevant and you know exactly why it can't be left by itself.

> There are plenty of people that I would’ve leave by themselves to do something, but they still provide value, and I wouldn’t classify them as generating garbage. A technology with shortcomings is not snake oil.

Except that people can be held to account when something goes wrong and an AI cannot. I can guarantee you that you would not trust an AI in high risk situations such as Level 5 transportation in cars or planes with no pilots (this is not the same as autopilot mid-flight) and sit on the passenger's seat to transport you from A to B.

> Look at where this conversation started, where it’s ended up, and honestly tell me that you haven’t moved the goalposts.

You're not getting the point. It's about trustworthiness in AI, when a human does something wrong they can explain themselves and their actions transparently. A black-box AI model cannot, and can generate and regurgitate nonsense confidently from it's own training set to convince novices that it is correct.

> There are enough vocal people here that feel the need to look impressive by repeating it over and over, that legitimate nuanced conversations and genuine information transfer with regard to the strengths and weaknesses of these models are drowned out.

Or perhaps many here are skeptical about the AI LLM hype and still do not trust it?
I remember using a program...I forget what it was called, but it was popular in the 56K days for resuming HTTP downloads. It would even allow you to provide mirror URLs so you could download from multiple sources at once.

I want to say it was called WinGet, but now there's something else called that, so I can't confirm it.

EDIT: It was called GetRight.
Loved using edge, was happy to have a good alternative to Chrome. Then they added this Bing button and some weird Toolbar to the side, and I never used it since. Went back to using Chrome. Would’ve used Firefox, but it doesn’t seem to have a built in translator which I often need, and I’m not keen at all on installing some no name extension.
> That’s how you go from proof of concept to economic viability

I don't think this is particularly coherent in this case. It's commercial, but there is no private sector customer.

All of the customers are government scientific agencies. It's all still very much science and/or nation-state prestige-driven. What's more, it's unclear what the commercial case for lunar landing would be in the near term, where "near term" means "any reasonable expectation of return on capital that doesn't come from taxpayers".
Google relies on duration of stay data from chrome and google analytics to rank search results. Without knowing how much time people spend on a page, you don’t know if the said page is someone’s wishlist, or a wishlist tool, or the wishlist brand, etc. That’s why they were rewarding verbose content, that’s why SEO optimizers were shoving as much text as possible and that’s why GPT made it even easier to rank pages higher on search engines. Bing will collect every data point it can get its hands on legally. Anyone with ambitions to build a better search engine outside of LLM and even with LLM will be only as good as their data.

If you're familiar with the YouTube homepage (where it displays videos in rows by topic) you can usually scroll down and find one of the cards a sort of colorful "Show me something different" card instead of a regular video card.

I putzed around with YouTube for a bit and was unable to get it to come up but it's a pretty rare thing to see - it's possible it was a limited time feature trial but it also just might require a lot of weird actions to summon. I swear I have seen it before and it wasn't just a fever dream though!
> Safari both hides the full path of the URL you're currently visiting and doesn't implement the standard practice of giving you a preview of the full URL you're about to visit when you hover over a link

Safari has both of these. Safari > Settings > Advanced > Show full website address, and View > Show status bar.

Moreover, I don't think either of them help out with phishing. The intention behind not showing the full website address is specifically to stop phishing, since it puts the emphasis on the domain name. (Is there a phishing situation where someone could spoof the domain name? Maybe, but I imagine in that case, they could spoof the rest of the URL as well). As for the status bar, I don't think anyone would look at it even if it was enabled by default.
I use Firefox and do some web development on it sometimes and I don’t really notice many/any bugs either with 3rd party sites or ones I’m making, apart from things that are unsupported on purpose like the file access API

I think this is the only way we can have a good search engine.

It is potentially an invasion of privacy, but also is excellent to get good search results.

Short answer: no

For a slightly longer answer, here is the conclusion of the article:

Trying to build an enormous geothermal power plant and associated transmission lines(!) in one of the most beloved National Parks(!!), which there’s specifically a law against (!!!), and which could potentially trigger a civilization-destroying volcanic eruption (!!!!) is like the final boss of the permitting reform movement.

Also, most volcanologists don't expect Yellowstone to erupt anytime soon, if at all.
"everyone should stop eating meat" is red herring. People often point out outside of "western bubble" so they can get rid of responsibility inside that "bubble". Really poor people do not eat meat in scale that is now so common in rich countries.
The article mentions one proposal that specifically says they would drill holes around the magma chamber as drilling into the chamber itself could possibly cause an eruption.
> My point was that they were way too young to know what D&D even was, and is a product marketed to boys (up until 5E anyway).

D&D started marketing to women and girls before AD&D/1e, actually, but more to the point, “role-playing” as a term for make-believe play in which one assumes fictional/alternative roles, a usage radiating out to general use fairly directly from both entertainment (CRPG/TTRPG) and therapeutic and educational use of the term.

The idea that “pedophiles” are involved i is such a bizarre (but totally 2020’s, where “pedophiles are the explanation for everything unfamiliar or different from my childhood” seems to be a common and actively propagandized belief) take.
Having one spouse at home is a tremendously expensive form of child care, from an economists point of view. But the cost is mostly flat with the number of children, that's true for sure.

I agree about the need to simulate Linux isn't always desirable.

However the need for a package manager is obvious, even Windows (itself, not WSL) has come around to recognizing this. Yet we still have to rely on a complete third party for such on mac (thankfully, we have open source options, at the bare minimum). Surely Apple can come up with something! Especially since afaik the brew maintainer failed to get past the interview process at Apple, surely they can do better!
> It is easy to see the problems that an obese person has. It is easy to feel like they should know better and make changes for their health. It looks like a big problem that should be taken seriously.

If the article is correct (haven't verified myself), that lab animals on a controlled diet are more obesse now than in the past, that contradicts basically everything you wrote.
