I'm not quite that old but I work with several people who are. No one cares how old you are or what you look like as long as you have the skillset for the job. I want to work with competent and motivated people and I don't care if they're 16 or 60. You don't even have to put anything age related on your resume. Just list your experience from the past 5-10 years and mention a degree if you have one (year of graduation isn't important).
Not to mention how many medications are patented. The patents do serve a purpose — taking a drug to market is both incredibly expensive and has a high failure rate, so a company needs a guarantee of some kind of return to take that chance. Maybe regulations requiring some level of redundancy for essential medication production provides a necessary middle ground. The return on such products will be slightly less, but if such a medication is so important, the revenue it generates is likely to still be large.
Age matters far less than skill set. I've ran into very little ageism. The caveat being I am not at the top 1% of companies. The problem with older engineers (myself included) is that their skillsets tend to atrophy. When you're a young gun you're jumping languages and frameworks as soon as they come out. When you're older, generally, you settle into a nice spot and stay there.

I'd estimate you'd do as good as someone 20 years younger than you provided you are willing and able to learn the newest hotness in your chosen sub-field.

This all being said I have personally seen 0 candidate over the age of 30 in the last 3-4 years of interviewing. Some of this might be how my job selects candidates, but given they selected me, and my boss is similarly aged, I would guess that there's a lot of aging out that happens naturally due to the factors I mentioned.
iNaturalist sightings are fed into gbif.org and obis.org, the two major databases of biological sightings that collate everything.
From my experience in my niche, iNaturalist sightings generally agree with the 'professional' sightings in the same database (various scientific expeditions' sightings data). It's definitely valuable data!

Of course, it has some interesting biases, for starters, small species and fast species are generally not submitted because it's hard to take good photos. But scientific expeditions also have their own biases; if they use underwater nets, for example, they'll also select for larger animals.

Some data is far better than no data!
Classic HN “what about” that’s completely wrong and voted to the top.
Can someone explain the punchline here? I'm probably just slow but I can't put it together.
I would wager that Sussman is being friendly and diplomatic towards his department here. I think the move away from SICP was primarily due to Sussman and Abelson tiring of teaching the course, which I believe Sussman says here or in another talk, changing tides in the landscape of universities and their relation to the job market, and a departmental political move. The move to Python was probably as much of a marketing choice and personal choice based upon leadership in the department than anything. There's an MIT professor, John Guttag, that wrote the Python book that they use and that's used in MIT's MITx and edX courses. I doubt he just wrote it and then the department just happened to later switch to Python and adopt the book.

I think Sussman's answer is more of an observation of the result of the switch and not an explanation why. MIT is a slave to fundraising, and I suspect the industry trends of programming languages, funding sources, job market, and other marketing and political decisions led to the change over anything actually technical.

I would, uh, bet that you're right.

But given that there has been a lot of discussion of the possibility that an LLM has "general intelligence", it seems worthwhile to figure out whether the solving of a random problem is possible.
Right, so the trick is not to fall into the false-dichotomy trap. Chesterson's Fence tells if you if you don't understand it's purpose, it's probably not safe to remove. That does not imply that if you do understand it's purpose you can now do whatever you want. Chesterson's Fence doesn't tell you anything about when it's safe to remove, only one category of situations where it probably isn't. But that could be an easy misconception.

Movies are exempt. Viewers of a movie know that the movie is entirely created content; no one thinks that if an actor says "I love Red Bull" that this is their personal opinion or an endorsement thereof.

This isn't clear if an influencer says "I love Red Bull" on their Instagram feed; do they genuinely love it, or were they paid to say that? This is the distinction the FCC wants made clear.

I would say Newton provided a similarly important discontinuous leap in our understanding of nature.

I want to be careful though. As some sibling comments mention, these discoveries of these great people were indeed "in the air" of their time. They will have happened. But it would have taken many more great scientists and more time.

For instance, I believe there are incredibly deep insights today derived from the mixture of quantum mechanics and information science. More deep insights are imminent and inevitable. But there is hardly one towering figure to do them all in one sweeping motion the way Einstein or Newton or Euclid did (to name a few easy examples).

Are large language models even Turing complete? Or more specifically, is there something we can say about LLMs as a class with respect to this question?

For any architecture like Vaswani’s GPT or a bigger iteration of it, eventually you run out of attention heads and layers.

If the answer is categorically no, then any sufficiently sophisticated code is not “promotable”. However, I don’t think there’s anything in principle which prevents LLMs from being Turing complete.

It's not a biography of Oppenheimer, it's a history of the making of the atomic bomb. Unsurprisingly, the parts of the book that deal with Oppenheimer - only a fraction of the book - are concerned with his involvement in the making of the atomic bomb. It does not mention the apple incident.

By contrast, the biography the movie is based on treats the apple incident at some length.

Both books are superb, in my opinion, and deserve their Pulitzers.

> The article's main point is that you can change the story, but the actual example he gives is a change in the facts

Not really. The facts didn't change. The fact still remains that both these individuals collided their cars together all those years ago. That is just as true before they met as it was after they met.

What you call facts are perspectives or interpretations of the facts. They both considered themself at fault. This means they both interpreted the fact of the crash in opposite ways. Now they have had a chance to reconcile their opinions or interpretations, but the fact that they collided in their cars never changed. They just feel better because they realized the other person felt like they caused the accident.

I think the point is that our memories are based on our personal interpretations, not based on fact.

Psychologically this is extremely true, your brain throws facts away very quickly but it holds onto emotions for a very long time.

Imagine you go and pick up a cup of coffee from the coffee shop. You probably struggle to actually remember picking up your coffee at all. It happened, but you will have little to no memory of it. Your brain tosses out facts. But now imagine you go to a coffee shop and a cute barista smiles or winks at you while they give you the coffee. You will probably remember that for years, very vividly because of your brain remembers the emotion of that transaction over the myriad of identical transactions you experienced.

Now using the same previous example, lets say you go home and convince yourself that the barista wasn't actually winking at you, they just had something in their eye. So you never act on the flirtatious act. But then a year later you bump into the same barista at a party and they ask why you never asked them out when they tried to flirt with you. Now when you think back on the event, you probably remember it as obvious that it was clearly a deliberate wink and exasperated smile that they gave you, despite the fact that previous to that reconciliation you were convinced it was an innocent act. Your memories have now changed. Its all based on emotion and interpretation of facts. But the actual facts never changed. The amount of winking, smiling, etc was always the same, your interpretation and memory of it is what changed.

Something I find interesting about visualizing things in my mind's eye: I can't get a grasp on where, exactly, I'm seeing them. I'm not seeing them in front of me, to my left or right, above or below, behind me, inside me... they just seem to exist off somewhere completely different.

When I imagine a scenario like the one the paper talks about, the person coming into the room and knocking a ball off a table, I feel like I can see it happening from all angles all at once; if I try to repeat the scene in my mind, my perspective keeps jumping around. I can force myself to watch it from a single angle but it's trippy being able to watch something from multiple angles.

I don't generally visualize colors, but for some reason it's easy for me to imagine textures. Maybe this is in line with how early empiricist philosophers described vision as being a combination of sight and touch?
Its indeed the information i care about, not the implications for any narratives. Distortions and pollution of the information environment is just shortsighted and counterproductive. If you stop looking at facts in favor of narrative you are making yourself vulnerable for the inevitable self destructive corruption. Which can easily be manufactured, which both China and Russia are aware of.

> Are large language models even Turing complete?

Idealized deterministic computing systems are the only thing that can be Turing complete, actual systems cannot be (because Turing completeness requires infinite space), LLMs are actual systems, and also are not limited-space approximation of idealized deterministic systems (they are, I suppose, deterministic if you know all the relevant parameters, including potentially some that are hardware-dependent, but they generally are a deterministic approximation of a nondeterministic system.) You can, of course, prompt an LLM to predict the output of a deterministic system and to do direct computation, but, absent an interface to external tools that actually do the computation, the results for that are notoriously unreliable.
And on the other hand, sometimes completely different people have uncanny similarities in their mental nooks and crannies — such as your mental audio track; same thing here (:

I had a similar lightening bolt moment a couple of years ago while pondering differences in intelligence, capability, and sanity when I realized that just like our faces have subtle differences in things like feature size, symmetry, proportionality, tissue texture, colour, like, all physical characteristics that go into facial beauty that the exact same thing is going on just a few inches away underneath the surface in our brain.

Those same subtle differences in physical structures are responsible for so much of the variation in human personality/intelligence that we experience, and yet we perceive it totally different than physical beauty because we can't physically see it.
