Without agreeing or disagreeing with you, I think you are fundamentally missing the point of the article, which basically addressed this.

Even if it is cringe-worthy (or disgusting, if you prefer) it is still possible to feel sorry for people. I might find meth addiction disgusting, and still feel sorry for meth addicts. This company did something cruel.

And in passing, the article makes the old "first they came for the communists" point. Wait a year or two until all the search engines are now LLMs, and they scold you for your grouchy conservative search queries in the name of safety.

Trimming the fat is about organizational fat. Some teams could be bloated, or unnecessary, etc.

I don’t know what went on in meta, but a few years ago I worked on a product team in a tech company. That team had a dedicated sub-team who reworked our AWS hosting every year. The company had a full Dev-Ops team to do it for us. Those 4-5 people were just making busy work and design docs in their name. While I’ve since quit and moved on, i hear that team experienced layoffs this spring. That’s “fat” which can be trimmed even if the engineers are very capable people.
Landlocked means "does not have a border that is a seafront". There's some opinions about it, but that's the definition.

And for the curious a sea is a part of the ocean, by some geologic definitions including seabed and salt water, even if it becomes closed off, and a lake never was part of the sea.
the banking industry has been heavily subsidized by FDIC, the Fed, and bailouts. This corporate socialization is certainly worse than either fully capitalist or fully centralized.
Famously? I've never heard of that. Is that even true?
Good thing I only have a Google account and a bank account and link nothing else to me online. Try as I might, no search engine seems to know I exist.

Sure some genius might think their model has got me nailed but even when I had a Twitter a decade ago and asked for my data Twitter had my age, gender (details I had in my profile btw) and number of kids I have wrong.

The problem with tech companies is they’re run by people and people are pudding brains who believe in magic. The problem with AI, as Chomsky said, is people will believe it. It’s true because they’ve been believing these other terribly inept systems they built, whether technological or social.
“High litterature” tend to mean litterature with high prestige among elites and long-lasting cultural impact.

I use an iMate to connect my Extended II to my Powermac G4. I recently replaced the battery to be able to turn on the computer. I appreciate the traces, but I actually thought this was all well known. I use the G4 every day to make music and for recreational programming. I've also got an older Powermac which I enjoyed more precisely because of the Extended II[0], but the G4 is much faster so getting the iMate working was great.

Also, on Mac OS 9, the iMate doesn't just allow the use of ADB keyboards, but as far as I know actually acts as a proper ADB bridge, so dongles, modems[1] and other ADB peripherals work as well.

UI/UX engineers or full-stack engineers with experience designing and building front-end software in React and Typescript.

-or-

Scala engineers with experience designing, building, and optimizing compilers: Mid- and Senior- Levels

thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal.

Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:

- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.

- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.

- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.

- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.

- …and the right tool for the job.

It's definitely possible to encounter a type error at runtime in Java due to the compiler not checking certain things. Java allowing subclasses across arrays is somewhat notorious for this sort of pitfall; in the classic example of `Dog` and `Cat` being subclasses of `Animal` (or implementations of the `Animal` interface; the issue is the same either way), Java will let you declare an array of type `Animal` but assign an array of `Dog` to the variable, which then will throw an error only at runtime if you try to put a `Cat` in the array:

interface Animal {}
class Cat implements Animal {}
class Dog implements Animal {}

Animal[] animals = new Dog[1];
animals[0] = new Cat(); // This will throw an error at runtime

If I'm remembering correctly, the property of not throwing type errors at runtime due to things that could be caught at compile time is called "soundness", which like static versus dynamic typing is much more formally defined than strong versus weak typing. I definitely agree that C has a lot of pitfalls in this regard, but I think you might be surprised how many mainstream "strongly typed" languages have these sort of issues.
Where do we then draw the line in ethics?

Because your input does not rise to the level of copyrightable.

If you commission an artist to create a work based on your requirements you do not own that copyright without some other agreement giving you that copyright.

But if the artist is not human it is not possible to copyright that image at all, even if you gave it a prompt to commission the work. This is the guidance released by the us copyright office in March

Works creates by non humans are public domain and cannot be copyrighted. Making changes to them only potentially gives you an ability to copyright your changes and does not affect the copyright status of the underlying work not created by a human
I do two things.

1) For 15 years I have applied testosterone cream with a doctor's supervision. I'm 77 and need it.

2) While my sex drive is diminished by pain caused by my enlarged prostrate, there is a simple and quick exercise (recommended by my doctor) which temporarily rearranges the location of the relevant nerves. I began this exercise a few years ago, and over a few weeks it had a huge effect. Lay on your back. Draw one knee up. GENTLY! move the knee to the left and then to the right twice. Repeat for the other knee. Once in the evening and once in the morning. In my experience the initial effect was minor but noticeable. The improvement grew to be remarkable.

These methods should greatly improve your satisfaction which, in turn, should improve your motivation.

I am horrified that you are not under a doctor's supervision.

Good luck.
Not really sure how Mohammed can be said to have a "dubious" history. If you don't want to believe the traditional accounts, that's fair, but late antiquity was not a golden age of objective recorded history lol, so there isn't much better info to go off otherwise. I would refer people to r/AcademicQuran on issues of early Islamic history.

I can't say whether Smith had a "dubious" history, but I'm not inclined to take this view because people think it's ok to bigoted and dismissive of the Church of LDS, and I think it's unfair.

Also polygamy was part of pre-Islamic Arabia, whereas it was contrary to custom and law in the context in which the LDS Church developed. Comparison on this point is superficial.
Yes, and they tend to cause a lot of harm to non-combatants.
Across the USA in a private jet rental is something like $15k. You don't have to be a billionaire to drop $15k to make your life easier for 5-6 hours. You go from having to go through security, hassle, baggage etc, to driving your car up to the steps of the plane and across to a smaller airport right near where you want to be.
That's why they're whining.
Consider the very first cohort of internet companies - AOL, CompuServe, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc...

None of those businesses are around today, but how many of them had their equity erased and had their bondholders take a haircut? I can't say exactly, but my guess is that none of the top 10 biggest internet companies of that era had their equity fully wiped out.
I guess both are meant to be a kind of joke, calling your software a bad name in jest. But I think the joke works much better in the case of "git". Depending on what you read into it, calling someone a "gimp" is really quite offensive.

git: A silly, incompetent, stupid or annoying person (usually a man).

gimp: A person who is lame due to a crippling of the legs or feet.

I’m sure there are plenty, but a few of the strategies that I’m pointing to:

1. Forbid people from speaking their own languages or practicing their own cultures/religions (slavery)

2. Relocate children to schools of the subjugating culture or prevent them from being educated (happened during slavery)

3. Make drugs and intoxicants widely available (CIA bringing drugs into black neighborhoods)

4. Enslave people

5. Post-slavery, give them fewer rights and a caste-stratified society (Dread Scott)

6. When/where these cultures build wealth, destroy it (Tulsa massacre)

What you are saying, that Britain and other countries keep monarchies around because "if it ain't broke..." I understand, though I still think it's pretty weird.

The comment I was responding to, which makes no sense, made the non sequitur that "Americans seem to think that constitutional monarchs are like the president of the US" because he only read the first half of my sentence.

In jan 2022, there were only 99 ships merchant ships eligible under the Jones Act, under a quarter of them are container ships. Over half are tanker ships. Then we have a few general goods ships, and a few roll-on roll-off ships. That is it!

Also the jones act not only requires the vessel to be US Flagged, but it must also be wholely owned by citizens of the united states, and either be US built or one of the following exceptions:

(i) was captured in war by citizens of the United States and lawfully condemned as prize;

(ii)was adjudged to be forfeited for a breach of the laws of the United States; or

(iii)qualifies as a wrecked vessel under section 12107 of this title;

The net result is that nearly half the US Flagged merchant fleet is not even Jones Act Eligible. Which seems pretty absurd.

Cade Metz is the same muckraker who forced Scott Alexander to preemptively dox himself. I don’t know Hinton apart from the fact that he’s a famous AI researcher but he has given no indication that he’s untrustworthy.

Correctly Loading Incremental Data at Scale
Well, almost all fathers mean well and by that point I mean, you can mean well, and still have poor outcomes (i.e. be bad at parenting).

Mine certainly did, but he still ended up using the money set aside for my college education to buy a Porsche and then sell it at a complete loss years later. He meant well because he thought of it as an investment, but it really wasn't. He believed it though, even though any reasonable person would not classify that as an investment.

As for playing games and not being able to find jobs. There's something to be said for creating a livable future which almost every parent today has failed.

There's a growing body of research that the number of jobs today that would normally have been available during critical time periods were reduced, where older workers, who were more productive because of their experience, ended up taking positions that would normally be held by people developing entry-level skills in careers when they couldn't find the skilled jobs they'd trained for.

In the book, 'The Pinch'; this references a lot of material and is discussed in great detail. Its arguably much more difficult today to get by than it has ever been; and its been driven by changes that were largely outside the current generations control (political power is supposed to transfer every 20 years, but in many places hasn't and is still dominated in majority by the boomer generation).

As for not being able to find a job, that has more to do with the jobs not being available; and potentially other ways monopolistic behavior have created for limiting the job pools to drive wages down.

This behavior is actually a common trend in capitalism when wages fall below certain key thresholds; and I don't mean any specific amount of wages, but the cost of living (in purchasing power) and mobility. It historically has kept to a ratio, but fiat has cause this to deviate like any great ponzi creating this disadvantaged environment today (which was predictable).

You also see these issues in any highly regulated society like in China with the Bailan (摆烂), let it rot movement. Yes its socialist, but the difference between capitalism and socialism when both have high regulation is almost negligible. Socialism relies on exploitative labor force, and elements of a centralized power structure, and lack of property rights; they also have concentrated business sectors (oligopoly) in terms of the means of production.

The main difference between the two is the division of labor, which breaks down under heavy regulation and lack of price discovery/stable store of value.

Ironically, if you have no hope of being able to do any of the major life milestones you're taught at a young age, you get your enjoyment where you can; and limit suffering.

Capitalism knows what they need to do (get out of people's way), but they don't do it because it would involve ceding power and control.

This has happened before, just not on such a global scale; and its fairly predictable what happens next (given a certain level of study in historic subjects).
The covid years were crazy. People kept cleaning everything with all kinds of poison (thank god somebody published early that alcohol at 70% is enough, otherwise I think we would see people dropping dead from too much poison), that was known to be useless by around April 2020, and yet everybody actively refused to talk about indoor ventilation.

And most were the same people repeating the "are you for or against science?" line.

Crazy years, dominated by completely random propaganda. Discussions on calmer times follow different rules, and if nobody decides to spend a lot of money stopping it, it can follow rational, evidence based lines.
> they want the limelight

Maybe, but there is another force at play here too. It's that journalists want stories about AI, so they look for the most prominent people related to AI. The ones who the readers will recognize, or the ones who have good enough credentials for the journalists to impress upon their editors and readers that these are experts. The ones being asked to share their story might be trying to grab the limelight or be indifferent or even not want to talk so much about it. In any case I argue that journalism has a role. Probably these professional journalists are skilled enough that they could make any average person look like a 'limelight grabber' if the journalist had enough reason to badger that person for a story.

This isn't the case for everyone. Some really are trying to grab the limelight, like some who are really pushing their research agenda or like the professional science popularizers. It's people like Gary Marcus and Wolfram and Harari and Lanier and Steven Pinker and Malcolm Gladwell and Nassim Taleb, as a short list off the top of my head. I'm not sure I would be so quick to put Hinton among that group, but maybe it's true.
What's AE?
They don't "need" to. They want to.

They looked around and thought, we don't have much debt compared to other companies, I bet our company value would go down less than $7B if we offer a $7B bond.

If they can give the $7B to investors today, but the stock value goes down less than $7B by taking it out, they are increasing shareholder profit.
Preferable to the reverse (unless you're American I suppose).
The same reason they developed any of the other reactions that go into System 1 thinking. It's not rational, it's just mostly useful in some niche that modern humans might not even be occupying anymore.
This is the Mormon immune response to exposure to information that causes cognitive dissonance: slander the people who left the church because the fact that they left the church means they are ignorant.

Yeah, there's quite a few smaller municipalities that hold a hazard day or a e-waste collection day. But yeah, they're normally crazy. I wish there were more common collection areas, especially for batteries. Post offices or libraries with collection boxes that are "safe" would be great. Boxes that won't melt, will vent pressure, and maybe filled with a bunch of sand that the batteries get buried in.

Also there's a ton of e-waste that's still usable! e-waste days at regular intervals where people could trade could result in a lot of stuff being reused.
>I hate everything about this on so many different levels.

>That people are so lonely that they invest emotionally in an AI is flooring.

The vehemence for the individuals in your statement is telling. What should lonely people do if they have physical or emotional problems problems that prevent them from easily going out and interacting with others? What happens to such people who are to poor to afford the ~$170 per hour fee for professional psychologists? It seems to me that your statement is that these people should just not exist. The sad thing to me is that I've seen a lot of people with this same viewpoint of disregard.

I just wish people would treat each other with more kindness and understanding.
