I guess using the word melon seems to have triggered some people, and is arguable given the cartoony proportions, but the links I put above are definitely adult boobs, and larger than B cup, relative to the torso/shoulders/arms. The boob size isn’t really the point, the subject matter as a whole just isn’t workplace material, right? I don’t quite understand all the pushback on the idea that these pictures aren’t completely neutral and aren’t 100% appropriate for the workplace.

I'm a principal software engineer with 14 years of experience who currently specializes in the application of generative AI technologies. I've recently built a framework for scaffolding and combining together trees of prompts into cognitive networks; I used this to create tools for

1) deep analysis of nonfiction [including scientific literature] and poetry that perform better than the (public) state of the art
2) an automated outliner of your stream of consciousness that inserts and organizes your latest stream into an arbitrarily large outline without vector database techniques
3) an automated 'Rumi-nator' that takes text and transforms it over several hundred iterations, while keeping roughly the same subject and without losing content, into a much more fascinating, coherent, instructive, and erudite work. Speaking with many professionals in the AI space, the output of this process is of a higher quality than any other LLM without manual human guidance.

If you are interested in the application of any of the above tools to your workflow, have your own that you would like built to order, or are just curious about how to apply AI to your career or company, please don't hesitate to email pure.fp.computational.poetry@gmail.com
~226,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and Nagasaki alone, most of which were civilian.

Shall we include people drafted into a war they didn't want to fight? People shot by their own countrymen because they didn't want to go over the top as they were a scared civilian with minimal training being used as cannon fodder? Those same scared civvies with minimal training who did go over the top and got mowed down by machine guns and shells?

Shall we do civilian resistance groups next? Whole villages of France that were shot dead? You can still visit at least one of them and see it as it was left. It's shocking, and it's left like that as a reminder of how shit things were.

Yes, proxy wars are terrible, as are all wars. All loss of life is horrible. Nobody is saying anything to the contrary. But saying it isn't less terrible is blatant denialism. These are all people who are all someone's son or daughter, both now, and then.

To be fair, others label the LDS as "unChristian" as well, with solid reasoning. For example, the Catholic Church rejects LDS baptism as invalid. That alone makes them a non-Christian. For purposes of marriage between an LDS member and a Catholic, that is a "Disparity of Cult" case that you would also see with a Muslim or Hindu.

LDS profess Christ, to be sure, and they adhere to OT/NT conservative values, and outwardly seem like nice Christian people. But they also embrace a "new Gospel" with extra books beyond the Christian canon that change the whole message. And, if you pay attention to their terminology while they speak at length, you may eventually realize that the LDS use words that have completely different meanings from the ways other Christians use words. If you've changed the underlying definitions and then speak in the same way, you're saying completely different things to the in-group without outsiders knowing the difference.

The LDS sect is fundamentally "henotheistic" rather than mono- or poly-. They literally believe that Jesus and God the Father are/were separate celestial gods, and they literally believe that every man can become a god of his own celestial kingdom, with a minimum of one celestial wife and celestial children to accompany them for the rest of eternity. They've taken major features of Judaic Temple worship, mixed in a good deal of Freemasonry, and come up with something that is far beyond Christianity as any Christian knows it.
I remember in 2010 a postdoc came to teach a course on model checking and the classroom was just packed with CS students.

I never took it but it will be interesting to see what kind of synthesis between traditional logic and neural network paradigms can be achieved.
I still can't forget how the immigration tried to disassemble my camera lens in Shanghai (not just remove them from the camera, but also tear them down), so visiting China might lead to some unexpected bad impressions. Also being barely able to see sun in Beijing due to fog/smog everywhere when arriving from pristine New Zealand looked very unwelcoming.
Yeah, there are a lot of interesting theories regarding this (which were far more common in the halcyon days of 2021, when it seemed like ZIRP was the new normal).

I actually think an underrated piece of this is that investments have become far less capital intensive. Business in previous economic cycles required a huge amount of capital to begin and maintain: railroads, oil, manufacturing all require enormous sums of capital to continue. Conversely, the dominant businesses in this economic cycle are all Internet based. Google, Meta, etc could run for 1,000 years without substantial cash need, it's a far less capital intensive model. You can see this reflected statistically: the FCF yield of the S&P 500 is 2x what it was in 1990.

If businesses need far less cash than before yet remain highly productive, it stands to reason real interest rates would drop: the demand for capital by economic drivers has gone down, while the supply of capital has increased through FCF gains.

In the short term, chatbots and api's to allow developers to expand keywords, data, product metadata, rank higher in LLMs. Lots of room for optimization here.
You can just go for the allow-list approach (only reading the subs and niches you care about) instead of the block-list approach (where you read r/all and try to filter out the astroturfed material and advertising).

However, you might be out of luck if your niche/hobby is very mainstream popular and has a large following on reddit as well (e.g., marvel comics or general stuff like world politics). As someone who mostly reads just a few smaller subs, none of the astroturfing gets to me. As soon as I check r/all though, especially comments on popular posts, it instantly reminds me of all that garbage.

That reminds me of this, more optimistically:

Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time. Even AC [Automated Computer] existed only for the sake of the one last question that it had never answered from the time a half-drunken computer technician ten trillion years before had asked the question of a computer that was to AC far less than was a man to Man.
All other questions had been answered, and until this last question was answered also, AC might not release his consciousness.
All collected data had come to a final end. Nothing was left to be collected.
But all collected data had yet to be completely correlated and put together in all possible relationships.
A timeless interval was spent in doing that.
And it came to pass that AC learned how to reverse the direction of entropy.
But there was now no man to whom AC might give the answer of the last question. No matter. The answer -- by demonstration -- would take care of that, too.
For another timeless interval, AC thought how best to do this. Carefully, AC organized the program.
The consciousness of AC encompassed all of what had once been a Universe and brooded over what was now Chaos. Step by step, it must be done.
And AC said, "LET THERE BE LIGHT!"
And there was light --

(Interesting, "The Last Question" was published in 1956, two years after "Answer." I wonder if Asimov was influenced by it.)

ETA:
ChatGPT says: Isaac Asimov acknowledged the influence of Fredric Brown's "Answer" in his book "Asimov on Science Fiction," where he wrote: "I was also much taken by Fredric Brown's 'Answer,' which appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction in the 1950s."

> We need judgements that put our society in the best position for the next decade, and these 9 people may not be sufficiently able to be coached to think ahead far enough to do that.

That is a kind of judgement, but that kind of judgment is a policy judgment, not a legal one.

If you want a policy judgment, you go to Congress; they make a determination, decide if they’re going to pass a law, and if they do so then you have a law that reflects what their policy is in the text of the statute. If you want a legal one, you go to the Courts. If there’s ambiguity in the law, then you’re going to have different interpretations, and the attorneys at trial, and often the Solicitor-General of the United States are going to present their best arguments as to how the law should be interpreted.

In other words, a trial and its eventual outcome is a collaboration between adversaries, the Justices, their staff, and the US government when they choose to chime in (they usually can if they want even if they’re not one of try party’s at trial). You’re giving the Justices too little credit and more responsibility than they lawfully possess; it is already sufficient that they have the responsibility of interpreting the laws, facts and arguments before them.
They need a louder more obnoxious warning banner for those.

On the other hand, you'd probably need a high interest rate to justify offering that loan in a time when a transatlantic journey was significantly less predictable and more dangerous.

"Formal equivalence" means very little for engineering, to be frank - the implementation is the important thing. If I wanted to be snarky, I'd say that neural networks are "formally equivalent" to Fourier analysis, which is 200 years old. I see that the paper proposes an implementation of linearized attention as well, which many others have done, but none of which seem to have caught on (although FlashAttention at least makes attention O(n) in memory, if not computation).

> I certainly can't see a way for LLMs to generate "smarter" text than what's in their training data.

Their training data contains much more knowledge than any single human has ever had, though. If they had equivalent linguistic, understanding and reasoning abilities to a human, but with so much stored knowledge, and considering that they also win in processing speed and never get tired, that would already make them much "smarter" than humans.

Not to mention that LLMs are just the current state of the art. We don't know if there will be another breakthrough which will counter the limitation you are mentioning. We do know that AI breakthroughs are relatively common lately.
They do, actually. We don't say anything about running our own infrastructure. And every time someone finds out, they're like "why didn't you lead with that?"

I'm surprised how much people care about what's under the covers.
Erm, just no and that wasn't necessary, or GPT?
> Mormon people often have strong foreign language skills, from missions overseas

I remember reading that the Mormon language school that prepares people for their overseas mission trips has a lot of Special Forces personnel from the military attending as well.

The reason: the number of languages taught at the Mormon school exceeds those taught at the military language schools. This includes dialects spoken by a tiny proportion of the global population but that population is strategically useful to some agenda of US foreign policy.
Ditto. Keeps complaining that my phone does not have Internet access.
Agreed. For some people, conversation takes energy. Being in a group takes energy. A vacation where you're out with complete strangers, in a group where you can't really do whatever you like and have to follow and compromise and discuss things, sounds like hell. I'd have to take a vacation from that.

As Magnus noted in his reasons for stepping down from the match, your first sentence is entirely correct. The 1v1 format of the world championship makes it largely a battle of opponent-specific prep. For a round robin, players generally play their strongest lines and prepare for their opponents' likely responses. For the championship, each player is trying to prepare surprises for the other, and it's largely a battle of who can get their opponent out of prep most effectively without sacrificing advantage, and how effectively you play when out of prep.

The employer/employee relationship is a business transaction: I pay them in labor, they pay me in cash. PTO is just me adjusting the amount of labor provided.

Imagine I walk into a spice stall and say: "I'd like to buy a pound of cinnamon, please." The seller might reply "Sure, that'll be $20 dollars". But I don't have $20. I have $10. So maybe I counter "Hmmm, best I can do is $10 dollars". The seller could then counter offer "I'll sell you half a pound for $10", and then we could both shake hands and walk off happy.

Replace cinnamon with labor, and that's a job negotiation. An employer, to satisfy me into selling my labor, has basically two levers: They can pay me more, or have me work less for the same pay. "Have me work less" is PTO.
That's an oversimplification and not charitable. Trinitarians are perfectly capable of defending the doctrine without making stupid mistakes. I wouldn't call the doctrine "incomprehensible"; it's just beyond human understanding, in a way that we could contemplate it for the rest of eternity without reaching the fullness of what God has planted in that seed of knowledge.

It's easy to believe in the Trinity if you approach it as a little child, as Jesus encourages, and if we word it simply as the Fathers did. If we don't attempt to adorn it with our own analogies or explanations, it's elegant, simple, and transcendent.

> Which, despite the many issues with the Soviet economy, is obviously not true.

The first thing I hear from any ex-Soviet who grew up in the USSR is how their lives were impacted by the constant shortages and censorship of issues with the supply chain. There's a classic joke from the USSR that goes:

"Comrade, aren't you excited for when the USA finally falls?"

"No, who will we buy our grain from?"

Another one:

"Isn't it true that the USA is rotting from within?"

"Yes, but what a smell!"

Millions of people in the USSR starved to death, and their consumer tech was among the most unreliable and poorly-made available internationally. This despite Soviet mathematicians and engineers being among the finest and hardest-working on the planet. They could only just overcome the constraints that the centrally-governed economy placed on them. The only notable exception is military hardware, which was actually funded.

What do you mean "it's obviously not true [that the Soviet economy didn't work]"?
>Antibiotic exposure was associated with an increased risk of IBD as compared with no antibiotic exposure for all age groups, although was greatest among individuals aged 40–60 years and ≥60 years (age 10–40 years, IRR 1.28, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.32; age 40–60 years, IRR 1.48, 95% CI 1.43 to 1.54; age ≥60 years, IRR 1.47, 95% CI 1.42 to 1.53). For all age groups a positive dose–response was observed, with similar results seen for both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. The highest risk of developing IBD was seen 1–2 years after antibiotic exposure, and after use of antibiotic classes often prescribed to treat gastrointestinal pathogens.

Truth be told, I went and found this after today's Odd Lots podcast[1], which goes into it more deeply (see transcript[2]). The white oak quality and type needed for bourbon barrels has specific requirements—different from what is used for most building. To quote:

>So you have these growth rings here, which is how much this tree grows every year. When they're very big, that's really good for liquid moving through it, which if you are trying to hold a product for a long time in a barrel is bad. So you need trees that are kind of stressed. And they're really having to compete. And so the growth is good, but it's not huge. This is the opposite of like, if we're growing two by fours, when we're growing two by fours, we want big growth because then you can make a lot of two by fours really fast.

It's the "intellectual junk food" behind the USSR and China turning from backwards peasant conditions to rival global powers. Orthodox Marxist theory States that society must be advanced enough to reach a socialist phase. The nature of the class-based Hegelian dialectics that leads to communism is nebulous and unclear IMO, but I interpret it as something like the fall of feudalism.
risk management is not based on expectation but exactly the opposite: managing the deviations from expectation. this is even in the ISO definition of risk.

some risks are hard to estimate and manage. interest rate risk is not one of them. actually it is supposed to be the most tractable risk of them all, being a single macro variable. a bank's books are readily repriced under different scenarios

the SnL crisis was the cataclysmic period that ushered a new era. there is a large contingent of actors that profit handsomely by helping banks manage interest rate risk. somehow all this machinery failed but there isn't yet a clear explanation why. lack of regulation would be more convincing if there was something more unusual (an unknown unknown)

not learning from disasters starts becoming the pattern. e.g. what has changed globally in response to the covid pandemic?

If you had a legitimate research finding, why would you publish it in a quack journal?

Presumably, because the more prestigious journals declined to publish it.

Why did all of them decline to publish it? There was probably a reason. A paper being published in a quack journal does actually carry a signal about the quality of paper, IMO. No one turns down publishing in Cell or Neuron to publish in Donald's Journal o' Quackery and Crockpot Recipes.
