> You will eventually, as in the article, hit a loose hold and fall.

It's not that simple, it's not a pure dice roll because not all routes are equal. It depends how hard the route is, what type of rock, what quality of rock, what type of holds, what style of route, whether the route allows you to climb with redundancy or not, the weather conditions, the time of year... and finally you, the subjective component, how well you fit all of those variables.

Granted I don't free solo 7a like this guy did, but I've soloed physically difficult but super solid, safe feeling routes, super easy but fragile, dangerous routes, and super easy, solid but crazy exposed mind fuck routes. I've been rained on, had a bird jump out of a pocket, had base jumpers surprise me, come across friends on route (unavoidably distracting), come across broken holds etc. All curve balls but I had plenty of room to accommodate because of my choices to climb with margins and contingency. Every route requires a different approach, not all routes are a good idea to solo for me, and not all routes are a good idea to solo period.

The point I'm making is that It's possible to regularly partake in this style of climbing with a high probability living to a ripe old age. I believe the majority of people free soloing are trad climbers like me who free solo well under their grade, because it can be considered a subset of trad, and it's good for the mental fitness of harder trad routes and benefits from all of the nuance of the careful and considerate mode which is part of trad climbing. Only people who are pushing the limit, and their own limit when free soloing make the headlines. This guy appeared to be pushing himself to his limit, but on the flip side maybe this was worth the trade for him, non-climbers wont get this but it can be an incredibly rewarding part of your life, there's a risk to every style not just free soloing and we all accept that risk every time we get on a route. You accept a risk every time you get in a car, but you still get in a car, they are just on different levels of risk reward, what you are willing to accept for what type of reward is entirely subjective so please don't judge others if they are happy doing what they are doing and understand the risk.
I would expect minute-by-minute coverage with a lot of pictures, maps, estimates of how much time they need to reach Moscow etc.

Full disclosure, I own a significant share of Disney, not significant in the sense from the perspective of the company, but significant from the perspective of my portfolio. Against the advice of my broker I own Disney and Microsoft as individual stocks while the rest is indexed.

I love Disney, we go once a year to a disney property and I love their animation and stories. While I am neither here nor there about Marvel and have not seen a single Marvel movie, I also live Star Wars and Indiana Jones. I have been on stage at the Indiana Jones special effects show thanks to my kids volunteering me.

I also consider myself to the politically left of center.

So when I say this, it is from a position of love and real financial commitment to Disney.

Disney needs to get the hell out of identity politics. They need to return to great story telling not look for ways/excuses to inject diversity at the expense of story. Tarzan did not need a gay ape. Treasure Planet did not need a Chineese character and Mulan did not need white characters or a hero who had no journey.

This last point I find very frustrating. For some reason, Disney has seemingly abandoned the hero's journey as a plot element for many of its newer releases. Failings are what makes characters relatable and I feel Disney has lost sight of that.

All this ti say, Disney just does not seem to tell good stories any more.

> Still feels like it breaks

I'm not in love with the analogy, but agree with the underlying argument, fwiw.

> Given the new analogy, proper planning would be to set policy to steadily increase

Ironically, on this count, the analogy actually works!!! Bank runs sort themselves out on the sort of time frames that "steady" policies operate. Just like housing supply sorts itself out in the steady state (well, apparently not, but we need that assumption for your point to work) BUT steadily adding supply is NOT a good solution to "we literally don't have places for people to live because your apartments flooded and there isn't enough temporary housing to keep the city working".

> In another words, SVB did a bad job at hedging risk, and there's really no excuse for it.

Yeah I think we're violently agreeing. (Additionally -- FDIC/USFG bailed out SVB depositors above and beyond what they should've done.)
I guess I’m not a reasonable person then? Advocating for state sanctioned killing is no different to me, in terms of advocating violence per se, than advocating anyone else do the killing. There are surely other distinctions to be made, but “the state should implement violence” isn’t categorically different from any other actor in the same configuration.
I have very similar observation, and while it is amazing at times at helping me with complex tasks, it just isn't like any human. If we rank the tasks by difficulty for human and AI, it just has very small correlation. Also GPT 4 is idiot in conversation, compared to its problem solving skill. I would have expected completely opposite trajectory for AI. eg it's hard for it to get it to ask good clarifying questions. There are lot of cheap tricks in prompting like asking it to act as expert, or prompt for chain of though that works.
I recall using it with Bitlbee a little while, back in the old days when instant messaging were sane and they didn't shoved you apps down your throat because "privacy". It was great and it's nice they have kept going on.
Tangent: As much as it feels like we just have “bundles” like the bad old cable days, I really enjoy getting to change streaming providers every 2-3 months. My wife and I just Hoover up whatever we’re interested in then move on. And in a year we’ve got that service back and we Hoover up the last year’s added content that looks good.

Lots of ways to measure it but when I think about how much I pay and what my experience is like, I’m doing far better than in the cable days. I’m much happier.

I like your takeaways and reflection, especially the "changes the game" idea. There is an analogy with pocket calculators and mental arithmetic. Personally I'm more comfortable reaching for the pocket calculator than offloading all thinking to an LLM. On the other hand, it's not so long ago that manual calculation was a specialized occupation. I could maybe see software coding becoming automated just as calculation was -- except for the fact that calculations are much easier to specify than software.

I don't quite get where you're coming from with "LLM's don't actually understand anything (as greater concepts)". I have heard the view coming from researchers that the larger models do form representations of higher-order information structures ("concepts"). Perhaps what you're getting at is that current models don't encode enough higher-order structure to deal accurately with your domain? Whether the models can be made to do so seems like an open question to me. The boosters say it will be here by next year.
I agree intellectually, of course. But there’s something strange about watching my kid grow. They are so much like me. Sometimes it’s as if I can read their mind.
The bet essentially was that we would be able to understand and define consciousness based on what we found inside the brain.

Because unless you use just one system daily or even weekly, customizations are nothing an annoyance since it’s unlikely you can clone every customization across every system you use daily.

In either case it shows how weak Putin is, that he has to let him go, after they did an armed uprising.
You should always keep the brake hand on when using a grigri or other autolocking device as well.

That's certainly fair. OceanGate and its investors should be wiped out, to the extent liability allows, and I would be supportive of a prosecutor who pierces the veil if capital was extracted. The proceeds should go to the only set of victims who didn't have a say in risk -- perhaps the 19 year old, but BY FAR most importantly the taxpayers of the nation states who paid for this ridiculous SAR exercise.
It's not like there's that much magic to it. Ampere is just using off-the-shelf Arm-designed cores. Altra was an Arm Neoverse N1.

Presumably Altra-Next will just use Neoverse N2 (or N3).

Agreed. It’s literally suicide with extra steps, I don’t understand folks’ permissive attitude about such an unnecessarily dangerous activity.
TBH, it looks like metric manipulation to me. They have used GPT-3.5 to generate their data(and not use textbooks at all like the title suggests). And their dataset is very much like their benchmark data. While there was some filtering, but still it is very possible that lot of the benchmark questions were in training data.

We likely wouldn't ever know how good the model is as it not only closed but they haven't provided access to anyone.

Why wouldn't it? If you think most people would consider a satellite passing overhead, an airplane flying high overhead, the Moon, the Sun, other objects in space etc. when directly overhead to be "in" a park, I think you'd be mistaken. And the results here bear that out, at least to the limited extent there were relevant questions.

Similarly a subway train passing underneath the park is not "in" the park, nor are vehicles that are at the antipode of the park on the polar opposite side of the Earth.
Haha. I don't and it's kind of gross right now. I'll take a pic and post it here next time I have a chance. TL;DR it's basically just a tray so I don't have to put the laptop on my lap... you will be disappointed :)

At some point you just need to throw in the towel when it comes to brand recognition. WeChat is as ubiquitous as Google is in the west for one sixth of the world's population.

I'm sure the owner of a hypothetical pre-1998 product called "Googol" would have come to the same conclusion rather than opting to repeatedly parrot the same disclaimer whenever they discuss it with someone new.

Like the other reply to your post said, there is a small but very dedicated, active and most of all supportive interactive fiction community still regularly making very well-made and interesting literary works, as well as producing new development tools, and we would love to have you! There's even a yearly competition for short interactive fiction that you can submit to if you don't want your work to go completely unnoticed.

I really can't stress enough how supportive and engaged and surprisingly active this community is — you wouldn't think it possible for a genre that has been officially dead for so many years, but somehow the community has kept going, producing works of really substantial worth and inventiveness that are genuinely sometimes even better than what was produced when the genre was officially alive. Many of them very long and complex, too. I highly recommend you check out IFDB, check the tags for parser (I find parser IF in the general tradition of Infocom much more interesting and impressive than hypertext, since there's am actual world model and stuff there) and "long-form." You'll see some impressive stuff. You should also check out https://intfiction.org, it's a very friendly community forum for discussing interactive fiction reviews, design, and development, and it's shockingly active — I've posted there a few times and always got several replies, and there's always people talking there.

> I'm not sure if you can use the hardware designed to act as a host to act as a device, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I don't how it is for PCIe, but for example USB is very asymmetric and host controllers generally cannot as devices. There do exist dual-mode IP cores (e.g. for mobile SoCs)

> In any case I would find it hard to believe that the hardware that can act as a device would cost significantly more.

Indeed the area/cost difference between host-only and dual mode controller may be small. But in a general purpose chip there will be dozens of other competiting features in all the other subsystems besides PCIe. Each of those small features would increase the chip cost, so they won't be added without a cost-benefit calculation. So it can still be that while PCIe device support would be cheap to add, it could still be considered too low bang-for-buck to be worth including. Or that there may be such chips supporting PCIe device mode, but they then also would include things like video encoding/decoding, HDMI, ethernet, etc. and thus be an expensive chip.

> The hardware required to do this can't be that expensive.

With a custom ASIC (the linked one seems to have Phison E12) that includes only the minimal needed hardware, yes.
Is it possible consciousness will not be ever explained by physical sciences because it is exactly outside of the domain of what science was invented to explain?

Physical science takes on as axioms that the laws of physics are uniform everywhere and that there is no preferred observer. The experience of consciousness is exactly opposite to those two things. It very much is the consequence of you being a preferred observer and experiencing the physics around you in a way that physics assumes no thing can.
The idea that only the government has the power to abuse political power and ruin your life is quite out dated.

These days large, monopolistic corporations have similar powers, and you don't get any recourse. Imagine getting banned from Google and Facebook/Meta services because they used some some wacky reputation scoring -- you could still live a normal life of a 1780s homesteader, but you're probably not going to live a functioning modern life.

It's a bit disingenuous to argue that the constitution only limits government powers -- which might be true, but that's exactly the problem: the US government has been allowing private companies to become so powerful and ubiquitous that they are exerting undue influence on people's lives even more-so than proper government institutions.

The only thing that apparently seems to prevent this from devolving into a dystopian scenario is personal moral backbone of some founders of these tech companies. It's not hard for me to imagine a much more corrupt world where politicians in Washington routinely emails CEOs of $BigTech and make some backroom deals that only benefits the parties involved. (pretty sure it happens, but it could happen much more often) Given how cozy CEOs of "private companies" and politicians are together, it's really disingenuous to claim that we shouldn't be alarmed when unregulated monopolistic companies are free to do whatever they want because "they aren't the government".

I was going to say that people in 1700s didn't envision "private" companies from being as powerful as governments, but then I remembered the East India Companies of the era. What's the difference of "companies" and "governments" when the functions they perform become indistinguishable?

That is incompatible with how evolution works. Complexity is one thing, but there was no survival reason to hide (aka encrypt) the inner workings of a brain when they first came into being ~200 million years ago.
I thought China and India were still increasing quite rapidly (I could be wrong). Unless they start going the other way, that 7% will be less than the growth from others, so no closer to 0 globally.

Re: [The] first striking observation was that there was no[t] enough information...

I'd long ago realised that this was a significant indicator of a crisis situation in many contexts. These range from military attack to natural disaster to political or business unrest.

The first indications of the atom bomb attack on Hiroshima were a) scattered reports of a "large explosion" and b) instant loss of all telegraph communications from a point some distance from the city centre inwards. Though the bomb struck early in day, it wasn't until that afternoon that an Imperial Japanese Army observation plane was able to fly over the city and surveil the damage, and the next day that the cause was known, after the United States informed Japan through diplomatic channels.

Similarly, when the HMS Sheffield was struck by Argentinian Exocet missiles during the Falklands War, the immediate effects were a loss of communications with the ship, and the first accurate information arrived, via heliocopter, along with the first casualties transported off the Sheffield.

In widespread natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, there is often some communications from major urban centres, but even those are limited and often outlying regions are entirely cut off. I recall when following a major Chilean earthquake, the US immediately offered satellite telephones, which could be used to report on conditions from remote communities.

In business or personal relationship usually characterised by open channels, "no news is bad news" is a useful heuristic.

For start-ups and business, there's an almost ridiculously predictable progression of blog (and more recently: social media) updates, initially exuberant, enthusiastic, and often technical, shifting to highly-managed public relations releases focusing on business and social factors, to ... silence. The latter often ends with a "next stage in our story" post, i.e., "we're shutting down".

And in political and military situations, what used to be a fat channel of communications (though not necessarily useful or accurate) is cut off as chains of command become unclear, leadership and spokespersons scramble for safety, and rumour and gossip spew forth. That last is its own interesting mix: the genuinely confused or misinformed, often, but also those trying to influence or exploit circumstances.
Sure but parent comment is blowing off a lot of factors working against Germany’s spectacular recovery lol. “Several million young dead men” is a bit of an understatement too
> But in Russia, you say "Nazi" and the first thing most people think of is the Nazi mass murder of Russians–that's what the Russian school curriculum focuses on. In the West, "Nazi=homicidal anti-semitism"; in Russia, "Nazi=homicidal Russophobia".

In Canada there is a monument to a Nazi SS division [1], because it was made up of Ukrainian volunteers fighting the Soviets, post-Holodomor that was seen as the lesser of two evils.

So with that small bit of trivia in mind, your explanation really does make sense and I'm surprised I haven't seen it put or thought of it that way. I reckon that context is probably also relevant to the "nazi-ism" of Ukrainian paramilitary (and now formal military) units like Azov Brigade? (although being close to totally ignorant on the subject, for all I know said groups are equally antisemitic).

The article was about a military project contracted out to a private corporation. Are you saying that the government shouldn't maintain a military? Because if you're not saying that then how is your comment even relevant here?
Depending on the circumstances he may stay in the air until the threat was resolved. Assuming the US tanker fleet isn't wiped out Air Force One and its escorts can stay aloft indefinitely and act as a command center for the military. That's the plan in case of nuclear war.
