> My computer is for all practical purposes Turing complete

“For all practical purposes” is a long way of saying “not”; a large-but-finite tape is not infinite, and the key properties of Turing completeness (both universal computation and the consequent equivalence with all other Turing complete systems) do not hold with “finite but large tapes”, no matter if large is 640 kilobytes or 640 quettabytes. Particularly, differently structured “Turing complete but for finite size” systems of similar actual capacity in bytes are not guaranteed to be able to compute the same subset of all computable results. (Actually Turing machines with the same size tape would be, but “Turing complete but for size” does not imply a consistent ratio between problems of material storage space to equivalent Turing machine tape size.)

The training sets that form the foundation of this iteration of AI reflect our collective culture.

People who complain about biases have only themselves to blame.

The more 'diverse' the people that get involved in our culture - getting their hands dirty and actually creating new things, instead of parasitizing off the efforts of others - the less bias there'll be. Simple as that.
The qualifier of "unmoderated" should have been there.
> There's levels of expertise, and if two people are too far apart, meaningful communication between them becomes impossible.

You've disproved this yourself earlier in this comment. You made an analogy to explain a concept to a non-expert.

It is entirely on you to make yourself understood to non-experts. It is both possible and extremely important.
Why? Tight coupling doesn't make things easier.
Breaking up work in manageable chunks absolutely makes sense. It makes it easier to monitor progress as a manager, and gives a sense of achievement for a developer.

Wait, what in the world are you talking about?!

The paper is about improving face attribute detection by using demographic information. They improve performance on some standard benchmarks by doing this.

The only way your characterization possibly makes any sense is if detecting facial characteristics is actually objectively more difficult for certain genders/races, which:

1. AFAICT isn't the case for most people (actually, I don't know anyone for whom this is the case, but I suppose it's possible such people exist).

2. Even if this were the case for humans, which it's not, why would we want algorithms to also be artificially handicapped at smile detection? That would be like building a calculator that messes up multiplication every once in a blue moon and takes a long time to do certain division operations and is worse at division than multiplication. Makes no god damn sense. Why the fuck would you want that? We know the right answer to "is this person smiling?". Why would we want a computer program that is bad at answering that question for particular subgroups?

> Oops the data must be wrong

The data isn't wrong. The baseline model's prediction is wrong (about simple shit like "is this person smiling?"). Using demographic representations while withholding demographic inference from the downstream face
attribute detection improves the model's performance. At being correct. About simple shit like detecting smiles.

Seriously... what exactly are you claiming is wrong with the paper's methodology/setup/motivation? Did we read the same paper? Do you have trouble detecting smiles on women/men? And if so, do you think computers should have the same difficulty?
I can't imagine it would be that hard to make a body temperature sensor that beeps when body temp exceeds 101F. I know you can get an athletic one that pairs to your bike computer for less than $300. It may be a good idea to use something like that for working in dangerous heat index levels.

Seems like a great startup idea for preventing heat injuries at work sites.

AI is really bad at plugging itself in after it is unplugged.
It's tongue in cheek and of course I don't have comprehensive data, but I do follow AI art a lot (which I find interesting) and that's my general impression. I wouldn't even say that the numbers are that wildly exaggerated.
> Just need a service principal

You can execute it also on your computer, and when an individual runs it, it really should not use a service principal, as those are intended for IAM of automated systems, not people.

Geddit v1.4 released – An open-source Reddit client without using their API
Hey guys, I've released a new version of the app, which includes changes to the UI, a new video player, an update manager to update the app to the latest version, support for opening Reddit links as the default app, and many more!

You can check https://github.com/kaangiray26/geddit-app/releases to get the latest version, although I'm also trying to make a release in F-Droid.

I appreciate all the nice comments and support I've seen so far. Feel free to leave a comment!
I prefer the company of "ordinary" people. I have always avoided beautiful women, even if they fancied me; I wouldn't want to become jealous. Also, I've found some (not all) of the beautiful women I've known to be be rather shallow, as if "beauty is enough".

To be clear, the women I've loved weren't really ordinary; they were intelligent, eloquent, kind, and beautiful in their own way.

> We don’t ever become “silver foxes” or look “distinguished”

While perhaps a little more crude, doesn't "MILF" convey the same intent with respect to women? All of the above speak to an attractiveness found in those who are considered older. There are plenty of women in their later stages of life who are still considered very attractive.

> aging is the enemy.

I posit that becoming "boring" is the ultimate enemy. Indeed, becoming boring is correlated with age. People tend to settle down as they become older, and that is what is considered least attractive. The movers and shakers don't want to associate with someone who thinks watching TV on a Saturday night is a good time.

> An ugly man can make it way further in life than an ugly woman.

It does appear to be true, statistically, that it takes men longer to mature. In fact, stereotypically, there is an idea that men will never grow up. The longer you keep at doing "stupid kid things" the greater the chances that you will eventually strike gold.
>Societal risks, such as bias and discrimination

Absolutely unacceptable that pressure is coming from the government to change AI outputs to meet criteria that is so subjective, like the output not displaying "bias and discrimination", and which furthermore, absolutely doesn't meet the bar for a national security threat that justifies government intervention in software development.
I found GoCardless to be better and cheaper than Stripe.

This is a misrepresentation. There are a few who are probably outright incapacitated where this is true (e.g. Feinstein) but most Congresspeople are firmly in the drivers seat. Now, whether they just default take the positions their staff tells them to on issues like AI they know little about is a different argument than whether they are puppets. I assure you, X rural senator whose core constituency cares about an issue like agriculture has their own opinions on agriculture.

I am curious if your ran into limitations due to the lifetimes on this signature

fn execute_instruction(
&mut self,
vm: &mut Vm<'a>,
call_stack: &mut CallStack<'a>,
instruction: Instruction,
) -> Result<InstructionCompleted<'a>, MethodCallFailed<'a>>

When I try to add a lifetime to the `Err` variant of a `Result` and that lifetime is invariant (which it is due to `vm` and `call_stack`) it usually means that I can't use the question mark operator or have early returns in the code[1]. This makes error handling more verbose and less readable. Is that your experience as well?

I agree that LangChain has some pretty poor APIs and abstractions, and I do even question the usefulness of what they provide.

But this library amounts to a loop around a very basic prompt and running the ts toolchain to produce an error message that is then appended to the prompt next iteration. It is not easily integrated into anything and is written by people who do not practice or develop AI.

Relatedly, Erlang's own refs aren't created by a strictly-monotonic global generator; but rather are internally a pair of a regular monotonic identifier, and the PID of the requesting process. In other words, they're akin to UUIDv1s, or to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_ID s.

You only really need strictly monotonic global identifiers if you need immediately-consistent first/last-write-wins. If you can instead rely on eventually-consistent first/last-write-wins (i.e. if your write events enter an event store/queue that linearizes them by ID, and then all "simultaneous" writes but the one with highest ID priority can be dropped/ignored, either during processing, or on read), then I'd recommend first considering packed (nodeID, seq) pairs. And, if you want global event orderibility, considering the snowflake ID formulation (timestampMajor, nodeID, timestampMinor, seq) specifically.

My background is cooking not chemistry, but I suspect there's a lot more to that process. IIRC the iron is a catalyst for oxidation in a particular way that affects the resulting polymer. Then the polymer is carbonized by the very high heat process.

This all happens in the same "step" of seasoning, over time, but when learning to season I was taught it was several distinct things that had to be allowed time to run their course.

Pans where the seasoning was done at too low a temp or aborted early, usually both to avoid smoke, have a distinctly tacky or even sticky feel to their surface. This is probably the more straightforward polymer you're thinking of. I believe these actually handle acid better though. When you get the acid reaction it's definitely the iron part of the seasoning involved. Tastes like old coins.

> So it doesn't have to do with anti-nuclear (as in: against civil nuclear use)

That's not my understanding. I don't think you have anti-nuclear activists that are totes fine nuclear weapons and just don't like powerplants. The activists who oppose civil nuclear use are a strict subset of a broader anti-nuclear activist set that includes nuclear disarmament.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-nuclear_movement:

> The anti-nuclear movement is a social movement that opposes various nuclear technologies....Major anti-nuclear groups include Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, Peace Action, Seneca Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service. The initial objective of the movement was nuclear disarmament, though since the late 1960s opposition has included the use of nuclear power. Many anti-nuclear groups oppose both nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
I believe it, because I see it. I don't understand people trading freedom for saving a few bucks, though. It seems the height of idiocy to me.
> If you're reading my comments on HN as some kind of official response from the company, you've misconstrued them.

For what it’s worth, this is the reason most companies eventually restrict their employees from making statements about the company; It doesn’t matter if you thought it was clear that is was unofficial, any statement from an employee in a position of power (such as someone with access to the control panel) will be perceived as a communication from the company.

You may have intended it to be a personal remark about your job, but there are a lot of people in this thread looking for any communication they can get about the company.

When you step in to fill that void as a person who appears to have access and power within the company, you are the official communication whether you intend to be or not.

Oh that's terrific. Really sinks in with the kind of emotions described. Quite relatable in its pathology.

Anyway, I've always wondered if something similar is the source of the famous Gender-Equality Paradox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-equality_paradox

There is a larger gap in more gender-equal societies. Perhaps it is because absent socioeconomic survival (which the West has largely solved), mate competition is solely in how gender-conformant one is. The more feminine woman, the most masculine man, etc. A refinement of the normal competition but now with survival necessities removed.

Anyway, I am somewhat hopeful that I can do something for any future daughter of mine, but it does strike me as pointless in some way. Immersed in this society she cannot be otherwise. Still, it's obviously worth a shot at identifying some method of innoculation.
