> I did say that it's a skill they should learn not that they should have done it in this case.

So you gave unrelated advice to someone telling you about a bout of depression? Hm.

> Telling them everything is ok is not the nice thing to do. It's an easy thing to do.

I think you'll find your "easy way" is not the way to treat severe depression. It's a long, hard road.

You think being depressed is "flaking out"? Shame on you.

At which point would you say it's ok to admit you were wrong and that you misread the post? Is this really the hill you want to die on?
No, he got it exactly right. It is just as relevant today as when it was written.
Actually, it normally is. In fact, mental hospitals will force you to get up get dressed, etc because being active is usually the answer.

Very few treatment plans haver "quit your job and do nothing" to solve depression. Being unemployed is normally more depressing than having a job. It's a downward spiral.
Also, even to the extent model architecture can be optimized, in the short term, thanks to the bitter lesson, the bottleneck seems to be less “human intelligence coming up with new ideas for optimizations” and more “compute time to test ideas on sufficiently large models”. An AI that followed the same basic thought process as humans, even if its ideas were a little better than humans’ on average, probably wouldn’t help that much.

On the other hand, an AI that in some sense ‘understands’ its own structure, which is to us almost entirely a black box, might be able to do much better. Consider OpenAI’s attempt to make GPT-4 explain the purpose of neurons in GPT-2; it basically didn’t work at all, but it would have opened a huge new frontier of research if it had.

But that understanding ability is hard to train, given the lack of any meaningful training data. If it does show up, it could act as an accelerant. But it could just as easily not show up, at least not until AI is already comfortably superhuman in the “thinking like a human” department – in which case it won’t help us reach that point in the first place.
I wonder how long you could get one of those to spin in a vacuum.

Halbach arrays with compensating coils have been proposed for some interesting applications, such as low loss flywheels for electrical storage. I don't know if that ever got commercialized but I do recall that some prototypes were made by a US company. I can't find a reference to it though.

And back in the day it was necessary because there weren't polyfills and there weren't build tools. Nowadays your JS is being run through Typescript or some other JS bundler and it's converting your code into something every browser can support.

If you're still using Lodash or Ramda or whatever it's because the standard library isn't quite as expressive as they are sometimes.
When I were a lad ...

I remember the first superconductors (long predicted) being announced in the mid '80s. They stayed high on the nerdy headlines for quite a few years. Excitable write ups in New Scientist for us civilians. Nuclear fusion was still 50 years off but room temp superconductors were only a few years off (nope). I went to a posh school in Oxfordshire in the mid to late '80s and my physics class (form) had a field trip to Culham and also a double lesson/lecture done by a handful of Culham physicists back in school. I am very aware of what a privilege that was.

Now I'm 53 and been around the block a bit, I really appreciate how time is required for some things. A lot of time.
Could we, for example, make circuit traces out of it?
You'll note of course that I'm not arguing the opposite conclusion. Don't try to force that on me. I'm just saying it seems really uncritical to assume that cumulative data says anything about median purchasing power.

Yes, very noticeable. Rows and rows of ads in Google Search, and I am seeing less and less quality results over time.
I suspect a lot of bad design comes from a myopic focus on The Analytics. Yes, there were a lot of failures in the bad old days due to Big Design Up Front and only iterating once a year after you ship 1.0, but we've gone to the opposite extreme. A lot of organizations seem to just jerk and twitch as the raw numeric results come in, with no central cognition.

Build for the future you want, don't just head for the local minima. Take risks and damn the statistics.

Look at the catalog of ComponentSource (https://www.componentsource.com), which is mostly ... tools. Are Jetbrains and Progress (to name two offhand) doing badly?
neat, i didn't know that was possible
I would seriously advise against using Wikipedia as an ultimate source for politically controversial topics, especially ones concerning fresh ongoing events.

That said, the two last paragraphs is not actually an objection to anything I said, it's just saying "but also they plan to do other bad things". Maybe they do, maybe they don't - it doesn't change the nature of the particular thing they passed, and that's what I was addressing and that's what the comment I was answered was alleging (it said "just removed", not "planning to remove" or "going to remove" - and that's false).

As for the first paragraph (after the link), I suspect what it refers to is part of another bill, and as such it's kind of hard to discuss because these change all the time as part of inter- and intra-coalition wheeling and dealing. I did not find any reference to this provision being part of the law that actually passed, if you have any (non-Wikipedia) reference to it please provide it. On its face, it looks ridiculous - that means to nullify any Supreme Court decision the parliament has to just vote on it twice (and the majority is implied - you can not pass any bill without having majority anyway) - so there's no point to have any court at all. This exaggerated ridiculousness suggests to me something is missing - this is not how it works and even people wanting to somehow establish a dictatorship (which nobody in Israel actually wants, despite what both sides claim - they just want to bend the system towards the party they favor) does not do it by passing a law saying "anything I say twice is the truth". Why then bother with saying it twice anyway - once should be enough? It just doesn't make any sense, all politics aside, so I suspect the real bill, whatever it is, is something different. But, as I said, I haven't read it so I don't know.
Proof of work, human version.

Yes, anybody can write an agent to meander about typing the chatgpt generated text into Google docs. Yes, Google could judge how likely it's that a document was typed by a human, but they won't for the same reasons openAI just cancelled this.

Somebody (maybe reacting to this news, maybe reading this thread) will write such an editor or evaluator. Another solution is screen recording as you write. Another (the best one, and the hardest one for educators) is to not request or grade things a robot can write better than most humans.
That second bit is a really old AI joke.

It's pointing out a very important, uh, point. Yeah, it's creepy to make people just to enslave them (Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are also the three laws of a perfect slave, so to speak.)

And, yes, it's incredibly stupid to build slaves powerful enough to turn you out (Asimov has a few stories that touch on that, IIRC.)

While I often agree that the tone on these kinds of posts on HN is often annoyingly and unproductively cynical, I think him just pointing out the current limitations of the result is not that much of a problem. It isn't like he's making the overused "perpetually 20 years away" joke about potentially revolutionary technologies.
That looks like a chunk of pyrolytic carbon, which can also float above a magnet.
Why do I feel like I am living in time if I am actually not in a simulation, not a Boltzmann brain, but just a random seed that is not written on a piece of paper anywhere? What is the meaning of all this, then?

You are reiterating cheezy stuff about "nature" and quantum fields, ignoring the random seed part.
I love this response. How it gives so much insight into an area of someone's past life dealing with interesting topics, giving one a glimpse of what it was like back then and there.

Did the California Community Colleges implement anti-racist policies because they believed they resulted in the best pedagogy, or because politicians told them to?

This article doesn't say, but it does appear from other reporting that the community colleges implemented these policies without influence from state politicians.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-12/communit...

That means it is not an analogue to the Texas scenario, where the university censured people because the politicians said to.
My employer forces me to go to the office, which is in a HCOL area.

Maybe after I get my green card I can get a pay cut and move to a LCOL area. But again, is it worth it? I can also get a fully remote job and move back to my hometown by the mediterranean.
> They get a lot more than nothing.

Relative to their current position of already owning the hardware?

> They sell the attack to business partners like Netflix and Spotify.

I don't see how they're "selling" anything. Web Integrity requires no money to change hands. If implemented, Netflix + Spotify would owe Google nothing.
The biggest HFT firms are prop shops. They don't even have clients. There aren't any client orders for them to front run! You know not what of you speak.
There is no rational distinction between positive and negative assertions in the general case. A positive assertion to a statement is equivalent to a negative assertion for the inverse of the statement. Numbers don't count (ha) because we know facts such as "the set of integers is infinitely large". Your ball color example is just nonsense. You used green but then switched to blue for the negative assertion. Also, that's not how colors work. In the case of religion, you're going off your preconceptions and biases. A religious person could easily say the opposite. You would both be speaking nonsense by saying your bias is more rational.
That's not great, but it's not the same as the Mr Robot thing. That much has already stopped. This is a different thing that similarly won't happen again now that backlash has occurred. A different cause of a plane crash that has now been analyzed to prevent in the future, going back to that analogy.
Yeah, but seeing the sharpness - compared to "ok let's slow down... ok ... shoot, we probably actually need to trim some headcount" - really highlights the follow-the-herd, here's-a-handy-excuse, done-for-PR nature of them vs actually responding to revenue trends or such.

No idea, but there's a lot of high profile scams where it seemed really fucking dumb just like this one.

Like the Schon scandal comes to mind. Super easily non-reproducible but somehow the dude was adamant that it was legit and everyone ate it up.
Both of these things can be true at the same time:

1. An article is posted with informative, useful, original content.

2. An important motivation of the article author is marketing to get people to use or become aware of their product.

I see no problem with this. I think it's always important to keep the motivation of the author in mind, regardless of whether it's an ad for a product or just the author themself.
> Very few treatment plans haver "quit your job and do nothing" to solve depression.

Since nobody is advocating "doing nothing", I think you have a nice strawman going on there.

In another post you also equate being depressed with "flaking out".

I'm going to guess you know nothing about clinical depression, so spare me the description of what you think the treatment plans are.
You're inferring too much. Nobody said one was better or worse. Chancellors at privates also answer to a board, which may be good or bad, but they aren't appointed by the government, a fact particularly relevant to this situation. There's great private and public universities, so obviously neither option is necessarily bad.
> if you can show that there's no way to do what you want to do with lead-free

The bar is even lower than that. For example, bullets are still made of lead, not because it's necessary, but because it's cheap, and despite the fact that it contaminates the meat of the hunted animal with lead.

I'm not sure if you actually read the article with this answer. The article is explicitly talking about using real time data to make design decisions, detecting something like credit card fraud is completely different problem space.
That’s how unions work at blogs.
In the real world, in Teamster type jobs it’s usually about how can they move jobs and pay around to look like they gave you more than scraps. How do I know? I was a Teamsters through many contracts.

Not in the word mark registration, sure. But registration is not the whole of trademark law is it?

‘Word mark’ is also just a term of art in graphic design referring to a logo consisting of just text - another word for logotype. Should I have said logotype instead?
Massive fan of this piece. I linked it in another comment yesterday.

The place its truth has been most obvious to me is in analyzing subscription businesses. Your customers pay once a month, or once a year. Nothing, absolutely nothing you do on a minute-by-minute basis is relevant to strategic business decision making. Yet these businesses will invariably want real-time analytics. It serves no purpose! You simply cannot look at your fancy real-time dashboard, and then take action based on it on that same time scale. Meanwhile it costs you 10x what daily data would.
This is a phenomenal find in any case.

As for how to avoid lead poisoning, coat the lead with a thin layer of some substance, perhaps a plastic or rubber that doesn’t affect its magnetic capabilities.

Or perhaps they can galvanize it with safer metal, leaving a really small part exposed.

Threat Hunting Playbooks for MITRE Tactics
When I was growing up, we had cows simply grazing wherever there was grass. We harvested wood for other reasons, because they weren't our livestock, and that provided for a few small clearings. They kept the grass short, and while they made the ground quite bumpy, they also fertilized the land which grew like crazy after my grandfather told the owner to get the cows out.

Now, I don't eat meat excessively, and do enjoy it more than ever, but it's definitely more expensive and involved to even temporarily switch. $6 for two sizable frozen chicken breasts, or $6 for a few tomatoes and peppers, $6 for 2lb of carrots. Usually it's a combination of a few things that have varying levels of environmental cost, like nuts, fruits, vegetables, beef, chicken, some grains, which seems sensible to me. If that cost dramatically increases, which it probably will, I'll adapt, but I doubt it will get to the point where I'll be considering no meat at all, because of the sheer amount of other stuff I'd need to eat and how expensive it can be. I'm not terribly interested in what global averages seem to be according to some website, it's not how I make decisions about how to allocate my small amount of food budget.
I was a Twitter user from 2007-2022; I bailed out around the time Saint Car started purging journalists, though briefly returned for a joke when mention of the dread term 'mastodon' was banned. While I was quite annoyed to lose Twitter, I think the ill-thought-out rebrand is _extremely_ funny, and look forward to his realising that he doesn't have anything sensible to call retweets. Or, er, Twitter video.

We are seeing the _worst rebrand in all of history_ unfold in real time, before our eyes. There's something special in that.

From what I get, yeah, there are several projects that try to use use seaweed on the open ocean to sequester CO2. [1] The yield seems to be mediocre though [2, 3].

For all seaweed that washes up on the shore, the effect reverses: It rots and releases CO2 and methane into the atmosphere. [4]

So if it's a negative feedback loop, then a very weak one, if at all: CO2 emissions cause increased seaweed growth, but increased seaweed coverage doesn't meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas concentrations and in fact can even increase them.

There's a certain risk any time you take a new job of "how well will my view of poor performance align with my manager's view?"

In a "regular" company there's usually a longer leash if you don't get that right on day 1, or if circumstances change and the specific skills you were brought in for aren't as relevant anymore.

In the Netflix model there's a by-design higher chance of it instead resulting in you losing your job.

So if you aren't compensating with $$$ for that increased risk, it's going to leave you with more of the folks without other good options and fewer of the folks who say "I can get the same money with less pressure if I take this other role instead."
What countless alternatives? I can’t think of many, and believe me, I’ve looked hard!

Tangentially, the US Army has completely stopped using lead in bullets. Their 5.56 NATO ammo has copper where the lead used to be (i.e., inside a brass jacket) which reduces performance because copper is only 2/3 as dense as lead.

"Regardless, teaching one side of a current controversy as fact in mandatory school is manipulation."

If there were a real controversy, sure, but the sides here are "everyone is a human worthy of rights, protections, and opportunity," versus "some people deserve more and opportunity than others".

It is proper, ethical, and moral to fight for the rights of all humans, and it is improper, unethical, and immoral to fight against them.

Not all arguments have two worthwhile sides.
