there's a quantum interpretation that is fairly easy to explain, it's called Pilot Wave theory. It posits that quantum effects are caused by a something akin to a bouncing ball creating a standing wave. This leads to phenomena associated with both wave and particle. Interestingly the theory fits available experimental data, as far as I am aware.

It is generally fine to denormalize the storage of immutable data points. I mean, if you have something that can never change or cease to exist, it's OK to store it in many places by value, for performance or convenience reasons.

If the value can be changed or deleted, it's a whole different story. Denormalization of a data point is isomorphic to caching it (you store it nearby to avoid getting it from far away). And caching is a notoriously difficult problem in computer science. It is very easy to screw it up and make your data internally inconsistent. It is arguably a worse problem to have than slow or complex queries, especially because you might not even know that you have it.
One aspect of this is that it was formerly impossible to delete NaNs from a map[float64]T, unless you had the nan already.

I'd never go for btrfs in anything enterprise.

But it does annoy me how RHEL moves normal open source software to the separate repos that are available with extra support packages, it just makes managing it annoying

A big truck is more deadly to smaller vehicles and we shouldn't make it unsafe to drive a regular sized car instead of one of these monstrously large trucks.

I'd say we have quite a vibrant startup ecosystem given the size of the country.
Not necessarily. Developers and product designers assume that users are going to use their product in a particular way. In my - limited - experience in those roles users tend to find entirely different ways to use your product that you never ever would have thought of, and if you had thought of them would have had significant impact on the product itself. The resulting impedance mismatch tends to be overcome with ruthless applications of duct tape, post-it notes, bending and twisting of parts and - unfortunately - the overruling of safety devices and lock-outs.
My intuition on this:

Maximum likelihood training -> faithfully represent training data

Reinforcement learning -> seek out the most preferred answer you can

Carbon prints are both more stable and have a wider possible tonal range than platinum prints do. I’m not sure where he got the idea that platinum prints have a wide tonal range from. While they have exquisite highlight separation, they tend to have a rather compressed, flat tonal range. The dimensionality he talks about due to the emulsion sinking into the paper fibers is also a reason for the compressed tonal range.

Very few people use pure platinum salts. Most prefer a mix of platinum and palladium to get better darker tones. It is also more likely that vintage “platinum” prints are probably platinum toned Kallitypes.

All of the positive things he attributes to platinum prints are probably better applied to carbon prints. I think carbon is the ultimate printing medium for monotone photographs. Maximum control of tonal range, detail, and the best longevity.
Wow. I had no idea that was a thing. I thought that’s just something they do in movies. But I don’t have a mind’s eye either (aphantasia). So I guess that’s on brand for me.

You are not alone, looking at enrollment for most public schools they are falling across the board with many choosing homeschooling[1] or private school[2]. On the homeschooling article one thing that blew me away was 16.1% of black families now homeschool their kids(from 3.3%). Private school admittance went up 53% as well during the pandemic. With my daughter I am extremely disappointed in the quality and difficulty(way too easy) of her schoolwork(1st grade public school). The school iving out 2-3 homework assignments a week with mindless addition and subtraction really makes me feel like my Daughter is wasting her time and even she says she doesn't know why she is doing the same problems over and over. Overall we may look to pull her and move to a private school if the low quality of this education continues.

>You're taking it as a given that people perceive education to not be a demanding career, and I find that incredibly absurd.

No, I went a state school here in New York for a graduate degree in a program that included many teachers that were seeking to get their Master's degree (which is required to teach here in New York within 5 years of becoming a teacher). All of the teachers in the program were actively employed as teachers at the time of their enrollment. Most of them were barely literate. At least two I would classify as not literate. Not a single one could be characterized as "well educated". None were especially intelligent. They were all nice, well-meaning people - but they were certainly not the best and brightest.

>I don't know what world you're from, but I want to live where everyone "knows" that teaching is easy and lucrative.

I certainly didn't say it was lucrative to be a teacher (though it can be after many years in the system). Most of them were paid very poorly. But it is a stable career. And it is easy to keep your job - which doesn't mean it is an easy job to perform (it isn't).

>Humans are highly adaptable and like other changes to information availability in the past they will adapt. This is what societal norms and cultural memes are for. “Don’t believe everything you hear” “Don’t believe what you see on TV” “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” These are all ways that the human species uses memes and cultural norms to teach ourselves how not to fall victim to false information.

But who is parsing all the reciprocal new false and fallacios "truths" in this wonderful human way to sanitise the inputs to the next model that's evaluated? If humans could scale so easily there wouldn't be this problem in the first place.

Its value seems to be rapidly declining. I was on lemmy.world and lemmy.ca yesterday and was a little shocked at how many people migrated over there.

Yes modern pickup trucks are not useful for most work, or would be more useful in other forms. I note near me that most landscapers use older smaller Toyota trucks which are easier to reach into the bed without getting in it. Most work vehicles printed with a logo are vans, which don’t expose their cargo to the elements (or theft).

These trucks do have utility for hauling trailers, but as far as I am concerned most modern pick-up trucks are emotional support vehicles.
> "I don't make trucks like that," Farley said. "I make trucks for real people who do real work, and that's a different kind of truck."

"I don't make trucks regular people want... I make trucks for people who want to spend lots of money" – a more accurate statement, I think.

Also amusing coming from the CEO of a brand who's electric truck starts at $60,000 for a "work truck" with vinyl seats, and climbs to nearly $100,000.

pick 10 commenters randomly who are obviously not really supportive of the protest, ie they are going to stick around and aren't the demographic affected, then pick 10 content posters in subs that protested. Look at their karma and number of posts and report back.

Average ppl on Reddit rarely post content, usually plenty of comments, just not content.

If all the content producers leave then you get the same effect as if the subs were still dark.
Those are strongly correlated rather than independent variables though - see my sibling comment :) [1]

This blogger's off-base on two big accounts:

- Vaccines have extra bad side effects in autistic people/make autism worse, though they don't CAUSE autism.

- Hydroxychloroquine (+ zinc) and ivermectin are both moderate-spectrum antivirals.

Chloroquinolones + zinc inihibit all "low-ph" viruses by alkalizing cells' endoplasmic reticula (and some other areas).

Ivermectin jams nuclear importin alpha/beta, inhibiting "single-stranded RNA" viruses which require nuclear alpha/beta importin to reach cells' nuclei for reproduction. It has numerous other antiviral effects too.
I've found for the accounting system I made it brough far too many problems the CEO demanded wider tables and less joins to simplify things so he could use them. It resulted in stuff simple complex rather than complicated simple.

No, I don’t need to know the use case. There are a vanishingly small number of use cases that cannot be performed 25,000 times per second on hardware from 25 years ago. If you indeed work on one of those few cases, you wouldn’t simultaneously call Terraform and public utility cloud simple architecture for any use case relevant to Hacker News discussion; that’s just plainly false beyond a certain level of computing depth, i.e., after you’ve written a process scheduler in an operating system or a supercomputer. (Note that I’m not calling you inexperienced. I’m talking about exposure to diverse types of computing, or, more realistically, the papers those communities develop.)

Those two ideas, that 25k is hard and Terraform is easy, are incongruous positions to hold from my perspective and basically prove the point I made. I understand if that’s not as obvious to you. The Web and cloud trap people into believing the world you’re living in is computing, and that the computers you’re working with go a certain speed on the road. There’s a lot of infrastructure in between you and computing in the model you’re working in, and it’s not apparent to you as unnecessary to compute. Computers are capable of far, far, far more than the entire industry thinks. That’s why those Hadoop takedown demos made me smile back in the day, and why I can’t wait to demo against $10 million of Kubernetes eating companies of the future alive.

> It's an internet forum, and unlike Twitter and other social media (where I assume they simply have hundreds of mods) they successfully outsourced moderation to volunteers.

This vastly underestimates how much moderating reddit is already doing. When I worked at reddit, we spent at least 50% of all of our resources on fighting spam, harassment, and illegal content. I'm sure reddit is still doing this. What the moderators see is already after the core platform has removed the most obvious offenders. Most of what the volunteer moderators do is remove content that they feel is not in line with their community.

> The customers are the users

The customers are the people who pay, who are mostly advertisers. Customers and users are two different groups with different ideas of what makes reddit good, and sometimes those don't align. It's a fine line to walk between serving the customers and users to try and keep both happy.
I agree, long term, if it's a success, there will be more opportunity. It might be too early right now to risk the investment.

>> “Your understanding of objects changes a lot when you have to manipulate
them,” Hinton said. (LeCun has described this as being “easier said than
done”.)

LeCun is right. Take a robot and put an untrained neural net in its brain,
then send it out into the world and wait to see what it learned. Do you think
it will learn anything? It won't- because it will observe most events a single
time. And neural nets don't learn that way. They must be trained,
painstakingly, at great length, cost and effort, only "in the lab", on vast
amounts of data and compute. And once they're trained, they're trained. They
cannot learn anymore. They cannot change their model. Unless they are
retrained. From scratch. Painstakingly, at great cost, on vast amounts of data
and compute. Again. And again. And again.

Contrast that with the intelligence of -oh, I don't know, a squirrel? A
squirrel is born with a tiny brain, smaller than the nuts it will subsist on
throughout its life. When it's born, it has never seen a person, never seen a
crow, never seen a cat. When it dies, it has often not only seen, but learned
how to survive all of that.

A squirrel. Even a cockroach can learn more than it is born with. The smartest
neural nets today are no smarter than a simple beetle.

I have no idea how Hinton has managed to convince himself that a machine that
is incapable of learning once trained will take over the world. A machine that
is less capable intellectually than a roach, or a squirrel. That just makes no
sense.
> Does anyone have any insight into why reinforcement learning is (maybe) required/historically favoured?

From a concept stage, it has attractive similarities to the way people learn in real life (rewarded for successful learnings, punished for failure), and although we know similarities to nature don’t guarantee better results than alternatives (for example, our modern airplane does not “flap” its wings the way a bird does), natural solutions will be continually looked to as a starting point and tool to try on new problems.

Additionally, RL gives you a good start on unclear-how-to-address problems. In spaces where it’s not clear where to begin optimizing besides taking actions and seeing how they do judged against some metric, reinforcement learning often provides a good mental and code framework for attacking these problems.

>There was a paper recently suggesting that you can use a preference learning objective directly

Doing a very quick skim, it looks like that paper is arguing rather than giving rewards or punishments based on preferences, you can just build a predictive classifier for the kinds of responses humans prefer. It seems interesting, though I wonder the extent to which you still have to occasionally do that reinforcement learning to generate relevant data for evaluating the classifier.
I notice my mind tends to think this way as well. Thinking about why I will think that usually yields recollections of people making "innocent" observations while they clearly had ulterior motives; such memories are in-person events, not this sort of interaction online. That said, it's easy to (read: difficult not to) apply similar heuristics to online interactions.

Not to excuse it; I agree with your conclusion. Hopefully such an understanding can help people to be patient with the behavior despite the annoyance.
