I don't think the public school system is bad (mainly) because of bias in conservatives to favor private schools. As for your last paragraph, it seems like a logistical nightmare. How will the kids be cared for and educated away from their parents? I agree with the premise (to put it crudely, fix situations where kids have terrible parents) but I'm not sure this is workable.

The U.S. has the same tax incentive, but there is an additional tax incentive, called a 1031 exchange, that lets you pay no capital gains if you invest the money in more real estate.
From one of the author's comments re: Japan

Japan has a unique system with lots of small police booths (Koban system) where citizens return lost objects. While we found a large number of our wallets listed on official lost and found websites, we were not able to retrieve these wallets as it would have required proof of ownership and identification documents. As a result, we were not able to find out the unique email addresses or the original locations of the wallets and we could not ascertain (among other things) to which experimental condition the wallet belonged. As we were primarily interested in the difference between experimental conditions, we had to exclude Japan from the paper. By contrast, we do not have evidence of similar systematic behavior from other countries.
I remember getting into an argument with my boss in 2005 because I told him that I mainly used jQuery to avoid having to deal with browsers having entirely different APIs to do AJAX request and otherwise avoid learning all the details of Javascript that were different on different browsers.

That’s not necessary today because so much has been standardized. I find the CSS-selector based model to be appealing but you can get so many “spooky action at a distance” problems and it particularly drives me nuts in React applications where application state (not necessarily React state) can be manipulated both in React and also by jQuery behind React’s back.

People who are interested in declarative approaches are into HTMX and similar toolkits now.
yes! It's amazing. Another one in this vein.. my girlfriend left her hat in a car when we were hitchhiking in France. We didn't realize it until we had wandered off around a village. An hour later the boy and girl who had given us a ride tracked us down and gave her her hat back. It was a very cool Australian cowboy hat.
Don't think you need a Phd to understand this: "the confidence interval was consistent with a null finding." Aka the study found nothing.
That’s not the problem here unfortunately. The problem here is that there is no interconnection of any kind between any system that knows about city A and B and the systems which know about city C. So there’s literally no way to help a customer who has a problem described in those systems. An AGI chatbot couldn’t be any more helpful than the human was because it has no access to anything about city C.

Now could that be fixed? From a tech perspective of course it could. However there’s probably a deep organizational reason this hasn’t happened. In this case, it’s because city C is a bunch of customers they bought during the windup of a bankrupt life insurance company and are running them down over time. So there probably isn’t enough profit in the portfolio they are running down to justify the IT investment.

As I say, these are the kind of things a chatbot (however smart) isn’t going to be able to fix.

So we need to eradicate more retirees then?

Seriously though, workers on what? I find it quite odd to base the value on workers as being a percentage of retirees, that's entirely detached from demand, productivity and opportunity.

"We need more workers to fund the old ones that stopped!" I get the basic logic, but it's stupid.
Alphabet markets two linux-based operating systems for consumer devices that are extremely popular. Telemetry from the field makes android and chromeos better operating systems.
This is just the Thomas Hobbes argument. Centralized authority is just exercise of power, there's nothing mystical about it some sort of powerful "sovereign". In this particular case the rules have been built to the benefit of a narrow few property holders at the expense of broader society, they are precisely a curtailment of freedom and an exercise of raw power.
The big question: what can he say? Can you be honest when thousands are in rage?

1. The kid was killed for no good reason, period. This is easy to say and most people will agree. He committed a crime, but the cop overreacted.

2. Cops in France target people of African origin in a different way. Whatever the French government says, that's the truth.

3. Why do they do that? Because crime is more prevalent among these people. This is already a touchy subject and some people will flatly deny that flexing stats in all possible ways.

4. Why is crime among that groups so high? Here we start to deal with the real problem and some solutions to it. But the truth is, nobody has a good solution. If someone came up with that, it would have been implemented a long time ago. But nothing works. And it doesn't even seem like it's going to be better at all.

So what can he say? He comes up with some crap about video games that everybody knows is bullshit, but this neither hurts his electorate nor the people on the streets.
Yep. That’s what I mean about cleverer algorithms. And while you could certainly do the exact same thing in C, it wouldn’t be a one-line change you could casually add and move on from.
> if there is no personal data there to begin with

Which is a very large "if". There is a tendency for people to think that the only personal data consists of what legally counts as PII, when in fact there is much more personally identifying information than is covered in those definitions.
I like that! I would tweak the "amount of paint" from Competence to Enthusiasm. If you have Curiosity + Enthusiasm, the rest will take care of itself. That's why a 25 year old who just learned programming is more likely to develop an innovative new database than a 45 year old database expert who has "seen it all."
What do you mean grow exponentially? In population? Economics? Military might?

For the record keep your eye on western Africa, Indonesia, Mexico and maybe Argentina.
Wouldn’t this be a perfect use case for a chatbot?

Can you elaborate on why you didn’t trust the chat it but would trust a human?
I get your point, I really do. And it got me thinking. I suppose, you're right concerning bugs and safety aspects. But, usage pattern collection is a huge problem, not only privacy-wise. This is what I do not understand:

Why are there code paths nobody uses, that have to be maintained, in the first place?
It's sad but I largely agree.

The complicated part is the "why" of their behavior, which can range from an antisocial personality disorder, to not getting enough attention at home.

Sadly many of the cause of behavior problems is from systemic issues like poverty, or poor mental health services across the country.

The bottom line is that neither the kids nor the teachers want to, or deserve to, deal with the byproduct of other failed systems.

The failed systems should be fixed, and services provided to these kids to the extent possible, but OUTSIDE of a classroom setting.

The cost of past failures can't be borne by the students and teachers in the public school system.
> Since it’s not possible to do this should we give up studying these sorts of things?

No. And no one said that. But we should outline and document the problems studies like this may have. That's how science works.

Good on you! Something I preach to my children is that success comes from showing up every day to do a little and not from a sudden burst of a lot. Well done.

I turn 50 this year and have committed to doing 50,000 pushups before 2024. It sounds like a lot, but after the first month, doing 200-300 a day isn't really that difficult (when broken up into smaller sets). Honestly, it's a LOT more of a mental challenge than a physical challenge.

It's all about showing up every day.

That's the supply-side reason. The demand-side reason is population growth and immigration.
Black box systems imply "here's the box, it has input and it has output, use that to understand it without opening it". Social networks are not like that. You don't have all the inputs nor all the outputs. You have a tiny sample of both, on a live system that constantly receives input and produces output, in a feedback loop too, and virtually no way to verify your sample is not a biased sample.

In that sense, a black box system is trivial in comparison to something as big as a social network used by hundreds of millions or billions of people.

Social networks, due to their nature also have "eventual consistency" meaning it's unclear when something should occur (and if it'll ever occur) as an effect of a cause. And it also has probabilistic behavior, where things happen sometimes, depending on which server you hit, with what state, what version of the software, and internally it literally does things with a PRNG often (it samples its own input), so there's that as well.
I know how it changed in the past...
That would simply push the demand to the other eleven months or years.
Here is a radical idea. Inspired by south park’s human centipede: AI customers. It works by automating production AND the people buying it. These customers can pay using a crypto currency made just for that. To see the vision behind this all one needs is a little bit of microdosing and a reality distortion field.
Development can sometimes increase demand for previously blighted urban areas. A few years ago, I used to live in expensive re-purposed lofts in an area of Boston metro which was in disrepair in the 90s. There’s a similar story for Bushwick and Williamsburg in NYC.

However, by the time an area has become popular, restricting development will only hurt rent affordability. I guess some would like to prevent their neighborhoods from becoming popular in the first place though.
Well, the 'canonical' action potential is mediated by sodium currents, so it's maybe not surprising that people concluded that C elegans don't have APs given that a) they don't have any genes for voltage-gated sodium channels, and b) when people had recorded from C elegans neurons (it's hard but not impossible), they had never seen action potentials. (So it's not like no one had looked, and then had concluded that they don't exist. They looked and didn't see them.) In the paper that originally reported APs in C elegans (Liu et al 2018), they were looking in a specific neuron (AWA), and they had to elicit a 'plateau potential' by depolarizing the cell for a while before the spikes were revealed, riding on top of the plateau.

The APs discovered by Liu et al (2018) are generated by calcium, not sodium currents, so one could even argue that they aren't action potentials in the strict sense. Also, they seem to be rather difficult to elicit, and it's still not clear whether neural computation in C elegans is mostly AP-mediated, or if APs are the exception rather than the rule.

I'm not saying it isn't physics, I'm saying it doesn't know what the physics is.

We're physics too, but we don't know how it all fits together.

If a sub-part of us that knows less than we do can make a copy of us, despite not knowing how it all works, that's an existence proof that we don't need to understand how it all works to make a copy of us.
For the current crop of AI at least, the upside will almost entirely be captured by a handful of rich elites who will gain even more leverage over workers. Virtually no business owner pays someone well for any reason other than they have to in order to make more money themselves.

If LLMs don't flame out it will be like the dawn of offshoring except wider scale and without the upside of poor people in other countries making more money; just more wealth concentrated in the hands of ever fewer people.
Well, it's simple: AI is getting cheaper, humans are getting more expensive.

the rational adult in me want to to believe you and hoping the current crop of teachers really have started changing it up.

the part of me that still remembers what school was actually like would vehemently disagree. it took 8 years of deprogramming AFTER highschool before I really started to get my shit together and start to work on a path to success.
That may be true, but it doesn't mean there's no value in protecting your privacy from others anyway. Personally, I'm much more worried about private entities collecting information about me than I am about the government doing so.
My main takeaway is to keep a bit of cash and an email adress in a wallet. Also, I have to wonder how much the fact that the assistants would have been perceived as foreigners in most of these countries skews the results.
"No one becomes obese eating natural foods" That is the most hippy BS I have ever heard. Eat 10,000 calories of raw sugarcane a day for 1 year and get back to me on the results.

>If you remove the sense of taste from someone, I assure you they won't enjoy food and will lose weight very quickly. Almost like that was the answer all along.

Yes, reducing the number of calories you eat is how you lose weight.

No idea how valid the study was. There seems to be a lot of questionable statistics done.
Atlanta has minimal regs compared to other very large cities. The code enforcement here is about as minimal as it gets, and (back when I did construction) there was certainly no proactive enforcement like I've heard friends complain about in places like LA - it was very reactive. I can't imagine it's changed that much.

It's also kind of dangerous though, there's a reason these people need to be certified. Dealing with a 5V breadboard? Yeah I'm game. Disassembling the housing of something to figure out which part needs to be greased or came loose? Yeah sure. My computer science training has prepared me to think outside the box and solve novel problems.

But if it's got 240V mains going through it, I'm not going to touch it. I like how my EKG currently looks and want it to stay that way. Why are humans made out of such a conductive material again? My CS degree didn't do anything to help me here beyond my biology class giving me an appreciation for how much meat-circuitry my body has that relies on fractions of a single volt to operate my vital organs.

I root for AGI.

ML and LLMs in particular are just fancy maths/statistics. Yes they are immensely useful, but also 1. overhyped / overrated, 2. facing the problem of in-breeding.

AGI will work nothing like today's LLMs. AGI will stare at your question, and instead of answering, ask you: "why do you want to know that?". You can't have intelligence without curiosity.

Well, the hard part is finding that capacitor. I try to repair almost everything and very rarely it is possible to find the damaged component without extremely specialized skills. The best you can hope for is that someone else has done the work for you and posted it in a forum. Even then it is often the power supply that goes first and those parts are dangerous to work with.
Can you recommend some local LLMs that are (roughly) equivalent to ChatGPT?
I can only join Teams meetings (as a "Guest") if I'm signed out. If I'm logged in to my Microsoft account, I cannot join calls and get some weird error.

Nobody at Microsoft can resolve this error. It's been two years now.

It hasn't caught up yet. This phenomenon is only a few years old, and Atlanta hasn't been seen as the "escape city" quite like Austin, Charlotte, or Nashville.
There are plenty of authoritarian nanny states that agree with you that government censorship is the answer to these problems. For now, in the US, that's still illegal and we'll continue to oppose you on this til the end.

Correct this was just the structure. Still impressive for what it was. I did the mechanical services which were put in after in a traditional way but in theory a lot of the services could have been installed within the modules at the factory and connected onsite.
This is a great idea. I've been reaching out to a bunch of services to get on-boarded as quickly as possible.
A long time ago at a previous job, I had to report monthly on metrics relating to firewall deny events. I got an angry phone call to my desk phone from an executive, demanding to know why firewall deny events were down 10% in the previous month. Their tone changed when I mentioned the month in question was February, which conveniently is about 10% shorter than January.

Hmm can you elaborate on creating a new market?

Isn’t conventional wisdom creating a business for an existing item line on a budget statement?
For employees, proving their capabilities and skills are always challenging. From the recruiter's perspective, identifying the candidates competency is becoming increasingly challenging. All we are able to do currently is use an age-old resume and many rounds of interviews.

I think you would be strongly disagreeing with something I didn't say.

> Interfaces aren't special... if you can't sit down and describe an interface as pure text, something has gone wrong with your UX.

I'm not sure how this disagrees with anything I wrote. I am not even saying that defining an interface with xml is bad. I'm saying the interface of a website and the documents it contains are muddled.

> There's this theory that documents used to need to be flexible, but now we're all using interfaces where the data we're displaying should be tightly coupled to the interface and it just doesn't make sense given that screen sizes are far more diverse today (HDPI scaling is still a problem on Linux), phone sizes are more diverse, we have people using apps in hands-free settings, they're getting tied into personal assistants, we have more awareness now of accessibility concerns, devices like the Steam Deck exist.

I said literally nothing about tossing aside responsive/adaptive interfaces or designs.

I said that interface-html and interface-css are tightly coupled. This is already true. They already almost always evolve together. It is already exceedingly rare to see a web site/app fully redesign without changing html.

I don't think we're in disagreement.

I am talking about the document and interface's style and structure being entwined together because the tools were designed for something different than what they are mostly used for. I am saying component-oriented approaches are ~recognizing and trying to rectify this mismatch (and people using Tailwind are reacting to a real deficiency in the core technologies).

My thought was that if you just intentionally dumped the working components into the relevant areas, you would get a cell in short order - i.e. there's a combination of RNAzymes which must've existed on the transition from RNA-world to proteins, to DNA coding.

Basically: evolution trial and error'd, but it stands to reason that we could just sit there injecting the next step which worked each time.
Hard disagree. Phi-1 seems to be a harbinger of what is to come. However i think there is a plausible argument to be made that their training process approximates a kind of distillation
