From a Bayesian perspective, the only way to play and not lose is to not update your priors, at all, forever. (I suppose that "not playing" winds up much the same - you don't have any input on which to falsely update your priors.)

But people who absolutely will not update their priors is not likely to work out well in the long run...
We're sourcing off Geohot? Yikes.
According to the economist Hernando de Soto Polar, not just trademarks but all property is like that unless you have a formal ownership system which is defended by the legal system. If people can't rely on the legal system to defend their property, as sometimes happens in third world countries, they have to spend significant effort cultivating their neighbours - if your neighbours think you are a worthless arsehole, you might find that someone else has moved onto your farm and your no-one will do anything about it. But if your neighbours like you, they will fight alongside you for your rights over it.
On social media,
IMO, People have too much identity fusion with their online accounts. Including me. I think Karma points and all the clout people have over time creates an anchoring that is problematic.

In life, if things get toxic, the smart move is to just leave, and avoid the conflict and the personalities driving it. But so much work by the Meta's of this world has been done to make people nest in their accounts. This creates the belief that leaving and starting fresh with a new handle is a terrible prospect. An this is totally to the detriment of the user.

If you were in a cafe talking with a group, and someone started screaming at you over your personal opinion, and you found yourself getting upset, you'd probably just leave. For some reason that doesn't happen online, and I think it's due to the nesting.

Like if I say something on twitter that people disagree with enough to not let go after a few hours. I'm just going to block them. I just don't have the energy to bother with rando's beyond a civil disagreement. Or take getting banned on a forum because of some demigod style rule. well, shrugs, I'll just go slow and get another account and let that one sail by.

In a way, i think 4chan get's it right with everyone being anonymous to each other.
What I meant was that Intel and AMD take the pain to be more open about their SoCs than other ARM manufacturers, and ensure there aren't 100's of them. Both are more developer friendly than others who often deliberately choose the ARM SoC's mainly to ensure they can exert control over system developers - by ensuring that details of the component hardware are only available on closed licenses or sometimes not even made available to the public at all.
Idk but it seems generally not trivial to compare salaries because te hole shebang of social externalities and work environment.

The only way through is to teach information literacy.

One of the best (but not the only) way to learn this is by studying the trivium/quadrivium – formal logic, reasoning, rhetoric. Once you see how information can be manipulated, it becomes very clear HOW MUCH of it really is.

Initially it can be maddening, but eventually it becomes empowering.
There's another layer to that sort of...erasure. You'll see it in a few years.
I suspect this loss will be as effective as any regulation. Nobody will get on board one of these subs without doing a lot more due diligence than the present customers did. And if they do, well, that's on them.

Believe it or not, new laws aren't always the answer. You can't bubble-wrap the world and you will make it a worse place for everyone if you try.

It sounds culturally insensitive at best, but this feels awkwardly racist due to the literal translation. I don't think this phenomenon would get as much press coverage if it was about 'black' or 'yellow' people food.
Oh, is that how Bing's image descriptions work? If you upload an image and ask for a description, it'll give a really good one. But if you ask it where it got it from, it says it got it from another algorithm. So is it using another expert AI to describe, and then feed it into GPT4 for conversion into language?
I hate microservices with a passion, but still use 12factor when coding, they're good guidelines for monoliths too.
I guess that neural network has to have the capability of identifying the subject and know in every moment which network is the most capable for that subject, otherwise I can't understand how it could possibly evaluate which is the best answer.
I've heard so many people say "that's not my reality" or "that's not my truth" and actually be serious that "truth" can be different for each person... I was horrified each and every time.
Honestly using an off the shelf gaming controller isn’t crazy, even military subs have used them for certain applications. But why on earth would you chose this controller when you can get a much more reliable wired Xbox controller for 80 bucks. This poor design chose makes me question their judgement during the design process.
> In the EU bureaucracy is huge and they spend billions on taxpayer money.

This is a fairly popular belief, but the EU's bureaucracy is actually pretty small. The entire EU civil service is only 40,000 people, most of them part time. Ireland is an EU country with about 1% the population of the EU, and also has about 40,000 civil servants, and 300,000 people in the wider public service.

1% of the per-capita civil servant requirements of an actual country really seems very lightweight.

(The US federal civil service is 2.8m people, but this isn't a great comparison, as it handles a lot of stuff that in the EU would be the domain on national civil/public service)
Our neighbor in rural Idaho has been drinking unfiltered rain water for decades without any (observed) ill effects. He did mention that he diverts the first few rainshowers of the year to flush out all the bird poop and debris that collect over the summer.

I’m not sure I’d go that route, but it seems to work for him, and makes an area where wells don’t produce habitable.
It would have if they were not profiting of all your data.

Besides, that's not the point. The point is that you don't need to have a Gmail account to reach and be reached by Gmail users.
I'm not sure if it is a copyright filter at this point.
After numerous simple tries to get it to recite the litany, I asked for the inscription on the one ring, just as straightforward.
No hesitation, no wait, recited the whole thing, formatted in two lines and then went on to interpret what it meant.
A copyright filter should have prevented that too, I think, if the length had been the issue, it would not always stop at "Fear" on the second line...

Yeah, I want to see you try to send it to KBC. Good luck with that. I'm sure it won't be the only bank in Europe with that issue.

Secondly, I want to see you try it with >20k euro transfers.
> I guess I've not heard of any businesses failing specifically because of WFH

Sure, but that is an argument to a baseline not a benefit. Easily countered by “How many businesses failed pre-pandemic because they were not work from home?”

Without real hard data showing a direct benefit, we cant argue WFH over in office from a position of strength.

I think AI will give broader and more convenient access to much of the same information that is technically already available, but requires additional work to discover.

For example, the books printed by the printing press disseminated information that was already known to tutors, scholars, etc. and often existed in handwritten manuscripts. Today, we wouldn't call that accessible, but that was the standard for accessibility (or word of mouth) before the printing press.

AI makes it more likely that people will find informaiton because it can do much of the work of searching billions of sources and synthesize the information far more convenient way.

That's not to say the information will always be true, just as the information in books is not always true. However, readers currently have far too much faith in authors. People believe claims because they're made using professional-sounding words, and published in a respected newspaper, by a human author, and accompanied by photographs. None of that is particularly good evidence if truth.

The last time this happened on this scale, people became more sophisticated consumers of information, with a healthier level of skepticism, and simply came to have less confidence in claims that they did not have personal knowledge of. That was a good thing, and probably will be again.
Undetectable bots have been spoiling the internet since its birth. First our email, then our blog comments, then the review sites. LLMs will definitely contribute the next phase of this. Not only elevating the level of attack on those previously vulnerable areas, but also bringing social media and search engines far past their breaking point.

We need decisive online human verification technology. Nothing else is going to address this. Right now everyone is adding paywalls to everything and leaning on the financial system as a proxy for human verification. However this will not solve the root cause, because some bot activity is worth the price of admission. Internet businesses are fine with this, and will look the other way just like they did when engagement was the lifeblood of the internet economy and bots provided engagement.
Note that this refers to ML as in machine learning and not the ML language family, as I hoped.
The AI is more than happy to escalate to a supervisor ... it's just that the supervisor is the same AI but using a different voice. After spending 30 seconds lamenting how you just can't get good help these days, the AI supervisor goes into the same script the original AI was going through. Except it occasionally throws in a "sorry we have to do this part again, the AI is always messing this stuff up".

How are these terms a slur, exactly? They just describe a property of being.
There are various attempts to explain why people are getting into this, but they all seem like rationalisations to me. A lot of people just like things that are new and different. That's all. And fair play to them.

Also:

>" It’s not about the pleasure of eating the texture of the food. It’s just like: ‘this is good fibre and lots of nutrients and I’m going to eat it,’ and I think that is actually a very American way of thinking about eating,”

The US is much better about repression of ethnic minorities than it used to be (one of the founding fathers literally fathered slave children as an example of that particular hypocrisy), but it certainly still exists.

I did not say that every feature of society is perfectly replicated, nor have I studied both of them well enough to know if they are perfectly analogous. I'm sure some societies showcase their own idiosyncratic injustices. For instance, I'm not aware of for-profit prisons in China.
Haha yeah almost had me too.
You've literally posted a copy+paste comment in response to both responders, and you've included cases/references that don't support your claims nor refute mine (or my sibling commenter's for that matter). You seem much more interested in grandstanding and stereotyping than engaging fair-mindedly with what is a difficult and important issue.

The HN guidelines specifically state that "comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive" and ask us to "eschew flamebait" and "avoid generic tangents".

With that in mind I don't want to perpetuate the flamewar but will try only to correct the record:

> Even at the ABC, hardly a workplace where you'd intuitively expect the kind of behavior I'm referring to, it's rampant https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-63699881

The article you linked makes absolutely no mention of the kind of behaviour you described in your earlier comment as being "rampant" at the ABC; it's about reactions from some audience members to Stan Grant's (and other presenters') comments during the introductory coverage of King Charles' coronation; it's a complex topic and one worthy of contemplation and earnest discussion, but it has no relevance to your original claims.

> Another famous example would be AFL ... It would not be tolerated ... But Australia and Australians get a pass because "it's Australia"

In no sense are any occurrences of racism "tolerated" or is anyone getting "a pass" for anything; the whole reason you know about them is they attract widespread condemnation and meaningful action.

All of these cases date back a significant amount of time, pertain to a small segment of the population, have attracted widespread condemnation, have led to major investigations, sanctions, reforms and broad progress in the way these issues are understood and handled, and instigated ongoing discussions and programs to continue to improve the way issues for indigenous/PoC players are recognised and accommodated.

Issues like this are not isolated to Australia, and these occurrences in Australia have somewhat mirrored the way issues of race in sport and politics have become prominent in the U.S. and many other parts of the world in recent years.

None of this is to say that occurrences like those you originally described never happen, nor that "maybe [our] country has some work to do". I didn't and don't dispute that, but the work is being done (going as far as a planned referendum for a constitutional amendment to give the indigenous population a formal voice to parliament, which has strong popular support) and meaningful progress is being made, just as it is in many places in the world that still have "work to do".

Anyway, I literally had to check the title of this article to remind myself that the topic is Are you a late bloomer in work or love? Maybe you’re right on time - i.e., nothing to do with this nationalistic flamewar.

So I'm certainly out of this discussion.

But if your ultimate point is "your country has some work to do", well, sure, of course.

I think hockey is supposed to be hooky.
Well, once you are in space the forces are pretty tame until you get hit by something. But the ocean never rests from trying to kill you, even the smallest material defect can cause an implosion. Personally I think designing for a delta of 400 atmospheres in compression is much, much harder than for 1 atmosphere in tension.
Did you mean "played hooky" instead of "played hockey" by chance? :)

Any non-paywall version available?

Would love to read this in full.

Without reading it though, my personal hunch as to why this is happening is a perfect storm of a generation of teachers conditioned by the idiotic NCLB act mixed with a generation of kids who were given their stressed-out parent's smart phone to play around with before they could even speak.

Plus, over that same time period, so many have left teaching as a profession because the conditions are simply awful - no support from ever-growing administration, criminally low pay, awful health care, terrible parents, distracted kids, and a teach-to-the-test mentality that has come full circle to become the enemy it sought to defeat.

That's to also say nothing of the fact that certain academic subjects are hyper-politicized for absolutely no reason, which in the age of social media keyboard warriors and divisive politics backed by big donors (whose interests absolutely do not run parallel with the country's best long-term interests) makes things even worse for teachers.

No wonder our educational system is failing.

We really need to rethink our educational policies as a society, and what we need to do to get to where we need to be.

HN, feel free to take a crack at what we need to do to get this country's education system back on track. If you folks can't solve it, I really doubt our representatives in various state houses and in DC can do so.
Ask HN: I want to learn game theory in an interactive way. Reccomendations?
I got really excited with the whole game theory concepts after auto-gpt got hyped. I instantly remembered that the concept of "agents" is coming from game theory and it is a very valuable subject to learn for the further AI development.

Right now I take coursera stanford course. But I really miss the interactive learning. Like brilliant.org style.

Anyone knows such a resource?
I was the other way around. Only when I found utility in something could I finally grasp the subject properly.

Pulsars are dense compact spinning objects.

From your link: "Pulsars are neutron stars that rotate at very high speeds and appear to emit radio pulses at extremely regular intervals. The pulses are actually all we see of a radio beam that is focused by the star’s magnetic field and swept around like a lighthouse beacon."

I have a carbon fibre fork on my bike. I had a low-speed accident a few years ago, and took the bike to a mechanic to get it checked out afterwards. He said he'd checked everything, and it was fine - except the fork, which he had no way of telling if was undamaged or about to fail. I think i'll get steel next time.

> I've never heard someone use the "spiraling upwards" analogy.

I believe this is the point. The author did not use the phrase in isolation, he used it alongside the normal usage. It's like the archaic use of "without" in "attacks came from both within and without". Or describing a difference in ambition as "Alice wanted to run a marathon, but Bob wanted to run to the Moon".

ChatGPT identified it as a form of semantic inversion, which I think is basically right:

> An interesting aspect of this antithesis is the unconventional use of the phrase "spiraling upwards". While "spiraling downwards" is a common phrase used to signify a situation getting out of control or deteriorating, "spiraling upwards" is less common and might seem contradictory because spiraling is usually associated with descent, not ascent. However, this incongruity serves to enhance the impact of the contrast. This can be seen as a form of semantic inversion – using language in a way that is structurally parallel but semantically opposite or unexpected, to underscore a point.

More common forms of semantic inversion are oxymorons, irony, and paradoxical phrases.
