n=1 and all but ketamine is the only med out of 30+ that I've tried for my TRD over the last 40+ years that actually helped me long term. Every other med either had side effects that were worse than being depressed or they just didn't work beyond the first few weeks which I attribute to the initial placebo effect.

What I try to stress to people who ask is that ketamine is a powerful agent of neuroplasticity. So, so many people expect to take a pill and just feel better. With ketamine, you have to stay as positive as you can before, during and for days afterwards to reprogram your brain to be more positive. The people that I know that have had success with ketamine are those that either had therapists working with them during or right after the experience, or those who followed the "must work hard at being positive for 2-3 days after taking ketamine" advice.

This is a med that I suspect you could actually damage yourself permanently if you just take the med and then go right back to doomscrolling social media or something similarly negative. The initial experience can make you feel better for a day or two, which is huge because no other antidepressant has that kind of quick impact. But if you work at it during that 2-3 days after, you can become a more positive person permanently.

I'm hoping that it gets more accepted over time and can be prescribed by psychiatrists because compared to most other "here's some pills, hopefully you'll feel better in 6 weeks and if not, we'll give you more pills that will hopefully work in 6 weeks" depression meds, it works really fast. For someone on the verge of suicide, it can be a truly miracle med.
this is not the first time recently i've heard about how part of the solution is slowing water to return some to the aquifer but it's essential to understand that changing the rate of flow of water also changes sediment deposition rates, which can have enormous impacts on ecosystems, power production, agriculture, and a bunch of other things. It isn't a dial you get to just arbitrarily tweak.

Some bees being predisposed through biology or chemical messaging to ignore information is fundamentally different from an individual deciding to ignore messaging. The idea is sound! But you also need to articulate a vision for the feedback loop to society - otherwise you're just telling people to do what they want when they feel its right, which might be fine but is definitely a different thing!

* Lazy evaluation was used to reduce computational costs. Unless an event is observed, it never collapses into reality. Cannot use up all household's hyper-electricity supply, parents will be mad.

* Make GR and QM work nicely together? Nah, too hard, the show-and-tell is tomorrow morning.

* Intelligent beings on multiple planets? Just a single planet will do for a C, maybe a C+. And no time left to make them interestingly different anyway.

Be ready, once the project grade is announced, this simulation will just blink out of existence. Hyper-CPU power will be needed for billions of years (our time) of hyper-Minecraft.
Yes. Setup is incredibly easy. It breaks without fail after a few upgrades, too.

If you want to do it anyway: create a fully automated setup to quickly spin up a new instance.
I don't think PGP really solves any of these problems either, not for the vast majority of users outside of a fairly small group of PGP enthusiasts. PGP has a complex model and perhaps that's actually its weakest point – going "back to basics" would probably be a good thing.

In the meanwhile, there's lots of use cases that could benefit from easier and more straight-forward signing. I had simply given up on signing anything in git because I just couldn't get it to work (it worked, and then it didn't, and then I fixed it with some effort, and then it broke again in obscure ways, and then I gave up) until git supported OpenSSH signing, which I've been using since the day it was committed without problems.
Ah yes. I agree no one will boycott OpenAI or something like that and that wouldn't stop its competitors anyway. That's why any optimism about the outcome seems unwarranted. All the incentives are aligned for developing better AI as quickly as possible. It's almost certainly being developed clandestinely as well, so, arguably, it may be good for OpenAI to get there first.
We're nearly at the point where geoengineering is necessary. People will oppose this like nuclear power, but there's not many alternatives left. Even if we do have a solution to stop climate change, it is simply not going to happen in time.

The people who are attracted to geo-engineering are probably the closest fit for what you want. You can argue that geo-engineering still requires global coordination.

The types you ask for are quite rare. If you accept human nature for what it is, you have to admit the possibility that claims are being exaggerated for political opportunism, fame, grant money, clicks ... and due to the huge cost of all proposed solutions, you'd want to double check. But if you ever double check any of this stuff you're doomed because environmental research is so riven with fraud. You end up a skeptic and be immediately excluded from politics, media, and academia. That's why you can't find many of that school of thought.

Chris Fields is a an expert in the field, so this is quite beautiful. But the course is also about his own work more than it should. A longer course can do justice to the many strands of thought in this area.
I love bashing Intel as much as the other person, but looking at the number of tokens LLaMA[1] was trained on (1,400B tokens), the number of parameters of GPT-3[2] vs. the number of tokens it was trained on (175B params vs. 300B), it's not like the announced 1,000B param model is unreasonable. Taking 175/300*1400 yields 816B parameters - which is fairly close to 1,000B.

Not outright the most efficient utilization of data, but as others have mentioned, there might still be something left to gain (from not solely optimizing for compute). E.g. look at Figure 9 in [3]. Although the model trained on the largest model obviously utilized the data most efficiently, it's not perfectly clear - to me at least - whether some over-parameterization will necessarily lead to a decrease of test/out-of-sample performance.

Of course, LLaMA was trained on way fewer parameters relative to data set size. I've just mentioned LLaMA as a point of reference to the largest dataset known to me.

No because people allocate resources based on future expectations of success.

Look at Tesla market cap (a measure of resources allocated) vs Toyota and look at how many cars they sell.

Tesla definitely didn’t start out winning, but people saw the potential and started allocating resources away from old car manufacturers.

If this model actually held then no one would have ever bet on them.
People with treatment-resistant primary insomnia should go ahead and make their peace. If CBT-i, calming exercises, or the small stable of medications (all of modest efficacy and some themselves implicated in dementia among other risks) don't work for you, then there's not much that can be done.

We don't have very powerful tools to help with sleep, which is a damned shame seeing as insomnia is a consequence or cause of so many problems.

Yes, that's certainly a valid reaction, and is likely partially true. It's also true that Apple is very well known for very hard negotiation and squeezing their suppliers until there's only a few percent margin. You'd have to be insanely good at controlling all of your costs to make money all the time under that constraint. If yields change or component/material prices fluctuate the wrong way any predicted profit could disappear.

Apple also pays suppliers on net 90. With inflation the way it's been, any miscalculation there will sink things. Not all suppliers know how to be banks too. Considering how much cash Apple has, this is really reprehensible.

As a supplier to Apple, the gross numbers are so seductive since they are larger than just about anything else, but the net numbers are orders of magnitude less.

Jamie Dimon Says Be Prepared for Rates to Go Higher from Here
My daily driver is still a Dell XPS13 I bought in 2018 when it was the highest spec XPS13 available. I replaced it with a later (and higher spec) XPS13 in late 2021, but didn't like Dell's changes to the keyboard layout and returned to using the older machine. I'm looking at a 13" Framework with the AMD chipset, but holding off for now in case Linux on an M2 Macbook Pro matures quickly enough to be an option.
I think this is a lot better than the other option, which would've been not releasing it at all. No company in the business of making money wants to give away their edge to would-be competitors for free.
One way to bootstrap this approach is to mirror Wikipedia and add on expert articles. That would demonstrate the value of the expert articles. I suspect this value is low. If it were sufficiently high, this Expert Wikipedia would rapidly come to dominate.

I think the Expert Wikipedia would be a bad use of resources because most people do not desire this and because experts will not deliver better articles in general.
This is not an unreasonable comparison at all. It puts things in perspective. I dislike what Wikimedia is becoming, yet Wikipedia is still functioning and useful!
> In many instances this water was already paid for, or the state decided that farmers must continue to pay while the state doesn't hold up their side of the contract.

Do you have citations for this?

>The closest analogy for the groundwater situation is if you owned a farm in a migratory bird path and the state passed a law for minimum roosting land. Then, instead of buying your farm and land, they didn't compensate you but said you aren't allowed to continue using it as you have been.

isn't this how literally all laws prohibiting something work? The government generally doesn't prohibit something if no one is doing it. Why should the government buy their land?

For example, the government built the interstate highway network of which all of those central valley farmers need to ship their products by using the law to seize land and then changing the character of millions of acres of homes from quiet and peaceful to loud and toxic. They did not generally buyout homeowners who were not necessary to build the road despite fundamentally changing how they were using their property.
The problem is that for every politician you motivate by making things up, you also motivate another politician to stop listening to scientists in general. Maybe those other politicians are out of power at the moment, or not even in politics yet at all, but that can change. It's a recipe for deepening the divisions in society. And if / when those other politicians do gain power, they may lash out at the people who were manipulating them.

> It means we've discovered the actual fundamentals of several areas.

But there is some evidence that this is not the case. For example, quantum field theory and general relativity are not quite compatible. [1][2] The mechanism for charge formation in triboelectric effect (when you rub things together) isn't well-understood. [3][4] Turbulence still cannot be analyzed satisfactorily. [5] This last one is even mentioned in the Feynman Lectures [6].

Also, generally, I think we should be very skeptical of the claim that we live at the pinnacle of human achievement and the end of the history. It seems quite arrogant to me, and it's against the spirit of the Copernican principle.

#1 - All of his recent moves are being judged with an assumption of malicious intent.

#2 - I assume Paul Graham and Michael Siebel are a good judge of character.

By the time I have offers in hand I’ve deemed each company to be worth working for, so there is no matter of one job being “worse” than the other — they are all acceptable. If there was something I disliked I would have terminated the hiring process.

I guess if someone has a fixation on some particular technology or industry then that could be a distinguishing factor. But I’m motivated solely by the capacity for me to make a positive impact and be appreciated. However, any company that isn’t completely dysfunctional will (at least, from the outside, appear to) check that checkbox.

Maybe I have just had good luck with my interviews so far and I am thus taking (at the point in time that I’m choosing between competing offers) some critical thing that usually varies between employers for granted. I dunno.
In a sense, it already is. My voice is drowned in a sea of SEO-optimized gibberish. Even if I had something interesting and novel to say, an average person would be hard pressed to 1) find me 2) convince me to exchange ideas 3) pay money for it. There is usually a market for experts with niche appeal, but, well, the market only needs so many.

Still, it is a great question and part of me wonders about the whatifs of this evolution.
