This is why AI development needs to be accelerated, not put on hold. Companies can and will continue research because that is where the money is. If everyone else is scared of the hypothetical sentient AI boogeyman, then ordinary people will get left in the dark.
Oh, I've been to China many times. Enough times to appreciate not having been born there. Western media about China, while somewhat one-sided, isn't particularly unfair in my experience.
Thank you for saying it for me. I keep reading it here and it's so frustrating I'm starting to give up trying to correct it.

Also @nine_k "...paying no more than O(log N) cost for that". Assuming this is true, and I've never heard of it, please consider by what metric that price is paid. In computing science terms things are usually given in numbers of operations but that's a terrible fit for modern CPUs.

Perseverance landed near crater Jezero, named after a tiny municipality in Bosnia (~1100 population). It's not the only Mars crater named after tiny towns around the world, but the fact that jezero means lake in many Slavic languages had a lot to do with this particular selection. There's also four valleys near the crater named after Bosnian rivers (Neretva, Sava, Pliva, Una).

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that the space community is definitely thinking more globally nowadays and that it absolutely works. We went from no particular interest in astronomy amongst general population to meticulously following Perseverance's every step.

It's a good analogy. Invest in infrastructure to extract dirty air and deliver clean air into living spaces. Provide suitable standards and technologies to do so.

It would be cheaper than the infrastructure to extract dirty water and deliver clean (treated) water because we don't need to transport the air anywhere near as far and air treatment is simpler.

When imaginary numbers were first introduced, they were viewed with skepticism and even derision by some mathematicians. However, over time, they proved to be an invaluable tool in solving complex mathematical problems, such as those involving electrical circuits and quantum mechanics.

CBDC will help resolve the difficult mathematical problem when politicians overspend (or steal) money they took from the public, and the accounts don't balance. They can just create more money instantly. And no one will know.
That makes it clear. Authy is an unacceptable piece of software.

That's right. Safari is an application and so lives under /Applications, which is one a few special directories where the user can make changes, which actually live under /System/Volumes/Data in a scheme similar to unionfs under Linux.

Which is to say, / under Catalina and above (so, since 2019), the root partition is really the mount of an APFS snapshot. There's security as a reason, but also from a system perspective, it makes it more robust to upgrade/downgrade OS versions under such a scheme because you always have a known-good system image to revert back to.

Safari though is a special case, and so /Applications/Safari.app is a symlink to ../System/Cryptexes/App/System/Applications/Safari.app

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you’ve said next to nothing that is verifiable and haven’t included any links to references or stats in your rant, so with nothing verifiable, you’ve left me with no choice but to mostly ignore the comment. FWIW, using words like ‘lies’ and ‘fraud’ and ‘junk science’ are all red flags to me and make it sound like you have more of a bone to pick than an objective viewpoint. I have no idea what your experience is, it’s not possible for me to minimize it intentionally, and I’m sincerely sorry you feel that way as it’s not my intention, but it should be as obvious to you as it is to me that your experience could have deviated from the norm, maybe you were unlucky. In any case I’m left completely unconvinced by your argument that there’s anything missing from the Fed’s statistics relating to weeder classes that affects the broad outcomes of students. Even part of your explanation, under-represented metrics, is exactly what I suggested as well. Maybe the weeder classes aren’t experienced by most people, and therefore aren’t detrimental to the overall outcomes, in average. Or- and your wall of text failed to consider this possibility- that weeder classes are affecting outcomes negatively, and the outcomes would be even better without such classes. It’s possible that you’re right and the statistics are also right.
they started off with stripe, and had/has all content behind paywall. no tour, no preview, no nothing, like traditional porn sites.

they kept it a secret from stripe while they grew, and thanks to using stripe, a mainstream biller, no one could compete with them. (as in paying out 80% to creators and still cover processing and costs)

stripe charges what, 4% or less? while adult billers are from 10% and up.
now they own the market, and i guess stripe turns a blind eye, because money.
> And when was the last time you saw a high-top soccer cleat?

The problem with that type of logic, is that in soccer, you probably need maximum ankle range of motion to help with ball control and to aim the soccer ball without telegraphing it by changing your whole leg angle.

Thus, you may give up some ankle protection to increase your ankle freedom.

In basketball, you do not need that kind of foot control. Therefore, you should probably sacrifice some ankle freedom for more ankle protection.
> US media distorted everything, reduced Chinese people to a monolith, downplayed or simply ignored all of the genuinely good things happening

The media I follow generally acknowledge that Chinese adopting capitalism led to the greatest increase of standard of living in entire human history (in terms of how quick it was and how many people were affected). That's not downplaying.
This reminds me of my GERD when it was bad and if I had the flu (yes I was vaccinated) my GERD symptoms disappeared. It was flu not a cold and I didn't have a runny nose if anyone is assuming it was post nasal drip causing a antacid effect.

I developed hypothyroidism a few years later too. I know people can develop type 1 diabetes from influenza I had a first aid instructor tell me of a local incidence of such a thing after a block party. The pancreas and thyroid both being part of the endocrine system it's tempting to guess of wild things going on inside me.

So GERD and hypothyroidism and viruses who knows what is going on. It's hard to not sound like a nut telling stories that are just anecdotal!

Nitrokey article improvement: https://twitter.com/grapheneos/status/1651601840520278018

> Per our request, NitroKey has fixed one of the main issues in nitrokey.com/news/2023/smar…. XTRA downloads are done by xtra-daemon in the OS, not firmware. It also does use HTTPS by default, but the OS can override the default URLs via gps.conf and some OSes do override to HTTP URLs ... NitroKey is correct that xtra-daemon has support for sending information on the device including device model, serial number, etc. They're also correct that the user is never asked about it. It's less of an issue than SUPL which sends nearby cell towers, phone number and IMSI.

As a PhD, I now believe that pursuing a career in science is an enormously selfish and entitled life choice for anyone who doesn't have a trust fund.

It's not just neglect during the PhD. Even a non-neglectful academic is asking a lot of their partner. Stipends are low. Post-docs require chasing term-limited positions around the country, often with little to no savings, for up the half a decade. Building wealth is impossible, having a family is just barely possible, and the process takes you well into mid-life depriving your partner of a career and a real relationship.

I have seen more divorces during post-docs than during PhDs.

Everyone I know who made it through PhDs and post-docs without scars fell into one of two categories: unmarried or wealthy. I think academia's biggest open secret is that a HUGE number of academics -- especially in and around large metros or in nice climates -- are chasing a prestigious and comfortable job because their trust funds allow them to not care about the money and their upbringing makes it difficult for them to deal with having a manager.
The solution to that is to get rid of the nuance and optimization opportunities and turn them into a small across-the-board discount. Far fairer.

Google Maps does offer "Buy Ticket" buttons for a number of agencies that have opened up their systems. They're far from universal coverage. But a new Uber for Transit would snap up the APIs Google has worked to open up and then be in the same position.

In my experience, the high-top add protection from being stepped on by other players who are wearing cleats. Useful for people who are pushing each other (NFL linemen, rugby scrums). Not for protection against ankle twists.
It's funny, I was just thinking about this article this morning.
When I first read it over 10 years ago, this quote really struck with me:

> Another personality defect is ego assertion and I'll speak in this case of my own experience. I came from Los Alamos and in the early days I was using a machine in New York at 590 Madison Avenue where we merely rented time. I was still dressing in western clothes, big slash pockets, a bolo and all those things. I vaguely noticed that I was not getting as good service as other people. So I set out to measure. You came in and you waited for your turn; I felt I was not getting a fair deal. I said to myself, ``Why? No Vice President at IBM said, `Give Hamming a bad time'. It is the secretaries at the bottom who are doing this. When a slot appears, they'll rush to find someone to slip in, but they go out and find somebody else. Now, why? I haven't mistreated them.'' Answer, I wasn't dressing the way they felt somebody in that situation should. It came down to just that - I wasn't dressing properly. I had to make the decision - was I going to assert my ego and dress the way I wanted to and have it steadily drain my effort from my professional life, or was I going to appear to conform better? I decided I would make an effort to appear to conform properly. The moment I did, I got much better service. And now, as an old colorful character, I get better service than other people.

> Many a second-rate fellow gets caught up in some little twitting of the system, and carries it through to warfare. He expends his energy in a foolish project. Now you are going to tell me that somebody has to change the system. I agree; somebody's has to. Which do you want to be? The person who changes the system or the person who does first-class science? Which person is it that you want to be? Be clear, when you fight the system and struggle with it, what you are doing, how far to go out of amusement, and how much to waste your effort fighting the system. My advice is to let somebody else do it and you get on with becoming a first-class scientist. Very few of you have the ability to both reform the system and become a first-class scientist.

I tried to live that way for a couple years. Frankly, I think this way of living is unnecessarily restrictive. So what if you get slightly worse service? The clothes you wear and your expressions highlight your history and your culture. By self-censoring yourself, you end up just perpetuating the censorship of other views in the workplace.
This goes double for scientists, as we are rather public facing and have room for wearing nontraditional clothes within our jobs.

You assume that preferences are economically important. I'm not saying I disagree, but in theory you could have a central planning department that effectively says "we have calculated what you need for maximum productivity; here you go, like it or not".

That, of course, doesn't take advantage of the sensory and compute power of individual humans. You might not need to ship a new hammer from the nearest warehouse if a nearby hunk of metal will suffice. Or if a machine is broken, you might not need a technician to drive from the nearest city if your niece happens to know how to fix it.

Also, for central planning to work, it becomes obvious quickly that people need to do exactly what they're told. Ignoring the preferences of people and demanding they do as they are told looks a lot like slavery. Perhaps a comfortable and efficient slavery, but slavery none the less.
The dataset in question is not a model, and contains no images; it is a long list of URLs, with associated tags. Someone who wished to train a model could use this information to download a lot of pictures from various places on the internet, then create training and validation sets; but LAION themselves do not provide images or model weights. The photographer went after the wrong target here; if he wants his images taken off the internet he should contact whoever is hosting them at some publicly accessible URL.
Hey, Carlin! Nice to see you here in comments! (Waving "hi" to the Malloy team.)

Usually, the experience would look like this: one directly develops the data model in YAML (with only bits of SQL, if needed) and instantly explores metrics. No need to start with SQL in a separate tool/place (1), no need to use the API to check metrics (2) (for that, we have Playground, an interactive UI tool), and, thus, no need to compare results to raw SQL (4). You iterate but changing the data model and seeing the metrics in an instant, quite similar to how you work with Malloy, if I may.

> Give them a math problem that doesn't exist in their training set and they cannot solve it.

They routinely solve math problems (and other reasoning tasks) that don't exist in their training set. Examples were in that paper I linked to. This is one of the incredible emergent properties of LLMs / deep neural networks.

Try it out today on GPT-4. Make up your own math problems and go for it.

The gut-brain axis is so important. It's only natural that commenters here would want to know when a treatment for RA is available based on these findings. Nothing's for certain, but it wouldn't hurt to improve your gut biome.

- Take a probiotic and prebiotic daily. Swanson sells a bunch of cheap and high-quality ones.
- Some people have had luck improving their gut health with supplementing collagen peptides. YMMV.

Obviously, the gold standard is a double-blind study that proves the effectiveness at eliminating rheumatoid arthritis through intervention. Both of the above suggestions are well-tolerated in the general populace.

> Also, isn't one of the arguments for Apple's stronghold on all the software running on their machines that they know 100% what everything is doing?

What stronghold? You can run whatever apps you want on a Mac.

As for identifying libraries in use. you can do that on any platform: Pause all processes, scan the address space of all processes to find anything the looks like a pointer to an impacted library, then hope/assume that there's no pointer tagging or munging going on, and voila that's your list. Hopefully you didn't miss anything.

The problem is that that's just a heuristic and you'd want to be _really_ sure you were right, or weird crashes will happen.

On macOS specifically there are other hurdles, the biggest being that the system partition is readonly, and so system libraries can't be replaced outside of early on in the boot process.
