Article wasn’t great IMO, but looking forward to the comments.

We found that our kid was excited about math until she started doing it in school, where they just assigned busywork (zero times tables? Check!) and refused to let her learn with other kids at her level. We just kept doing math outside of school, for two reasons. In part, it was so she could learn more math, but equally important it was so she could see how to handle problems where the answer wasn’t immediately apparent to her. Otherwise she would just skate through elementary school, never being forced to persevere or really apply herself.

Our schools like to talk about perseverance/grit/etc. a lot, but when it comes down to it they don’t care enough to give students work that requires it.
I've found that your mileage will vary when using Redis in clustered mode because the even if there is an official Redis driver in your language of choice that supports it, this might not be exposed by any libraries that depend on it. In those cases you'll just be connecting to a single specific instance in the cluster but will mistakenly believe that isn't the case.

I've noticed this particularly with Ruby where the official gem has cluster and sentinel support, but many other gems that depend on Redis expose their own abstraction for configuring it and it isn't compatible with the official package.

Of course, I think that running Redis in clustered mode is actually just another way to shoot yourself in the foot, especially if a standalone instance isn't causing you any trouble, as you can easily run into problems with resharding or poorly distributing the keyspace. Maybe just try out Sentinal for HA and failover support if you want some resilience.

Yeah I don't always buy it when people advocate for very lax education. I was part of the upperclass-hippie parenting experiment, and in retrospect I suspect it hurt me far more than it helped. Given the choice I would always watch cartoons, play video games, and cheat the system all I could. It clearly works for some kids though.

> Civilian leaders have to actually balance keeping people happy and getting things done.

I disagree. There are plenty of workers who don't respond productively to being treated well. Many take advantage and play games to avoid work. Being nice doesn't change anything.

What gets things done is spelling everything out. All roles and responsibilities are crystal clear. Commitment to agreed upon schedules and plans is required. Only then can people be genuinely happy with their team. Leave the sentiments and emotion out of it. Fairness and transparency are the way. Anything less creates an environment of toxic positivity and stupid power struggles.

What are some viewpoints that you think he should have covered in order to justify the “covers all viewpoints” claim? Could you elaborate on why they would be important to cover?
Is the original title better? "A spectacular superconductor claim is making news. Here’s why experts are doubtful." Standard nothing title, "a thing happened." I zeroed in on the pithy part of the article, which is SOP on HN. The subtitle is just "skepticism abounds" which we already know. What some, including me, didn't know is that legit USG labs are studying it, and that's what makes it news.

I thought he was just saying he doesn't have an excuse for not being able to communicate what's happened or how he's feeling about it in words, since at the very least it's his job, if not his purpose in life. I didn't interpret him as saying he knew everything as a result of that, or that he had special access to the truth.

It's also funny that when something works fine for 99.9% of users, it's actually more infuriating to the people it affects than if it were broken for everybody. It sucks that you haven't been able to use it.
Interesting to see this juxtaposed with another headline about AI girlfriends.

Strong couples often challenge eachother to improve and maintain themselves. Women culturally do the same within their friendships. Men who enjoy the company of men at the gym do have a similar attitude of cooperative improvement, but many seem to take it so far that it's unsustainable.

In my experience, internal motivation is a limited resource -- it's far easier to encourage, and be encouraged. I hope, for men's sake, that their AI girlfriends can provide some of that, rather than just tell them what they want to hear.
Well in a well-designed city, you could just walk to all those things. From my house in Berkeley, CA, daycare is about 400 meters from my house. There are two fields of soccer-ing size, one about 10 minutes away and one 25 minutes by foot.

The grocery store is a 4 minute walk, my hairdresser is a 1 minute walk, CVS is a 3 minute walk.

I also have an amazing park with play structures, basketball courts, tennis courts, large gracy field, a creek, picnic areas, and such about a 1 minute walk away.

I can bike to work in 20 minutes.

This could be everywhere in the US. There's nothing special about where I live except that it's development predates the automobile.

The Secrets Philip Roth Didn't Keep
It means that any LLM that is public facing can be used for arbitrary needs, regardless what it was initially prompted with. Picture for example, someone writing an API to jailbreak a support system so they can use it as a free translator with no usage limits.
That, but also being simpler and higher level, having multidimensional arrays in the language itself and simpler semantics (such as you cannot just take a pointer to an arbitrary variable, it has to be marked with "target"), no exceptions, and so on. What carries over to the IR today are all the language semantic features, such as all the array operations (minloc, maxval, sum, ...) and functions (sin, cos, special functions) as well as all the other features without any lowering, and we then do optimizations at this high level, then only at the end we lower (say to LLVM). Python/NumPy can be optimized in exactly the same way, and that's what LPython does. I think C++ can also be compiled this way, but the frontend would have to understand basic structures like `std::vector`, `std::unordered_map` as well as arrays (say xtensor or Kokkos, whatever library you use for arrays), and lift it to our high level IR. Possibly we would have to restrict some C++ features if they impeded with performance, such as exceptions --- I am not an expert on C++ compilers, I am only a user of C++.

An interesting RIP case here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-11479831

A person received a 16 week prison sentence for not disclosing a password. In the context, it’s possible that had he disclosed the password, police would have discovered material that would have attracted a far more severe punishment.

So one might argue that the RIP was too weak, and failed to compel disclosure of the password (four months in jail is light in the circumstances).

Most probably the Statistical Engines of the future i.e. A.I., will be different than GPT and the likes. As soon as the context window can be extended to a billion tokens, as it is claimed by a recent microsoft paper, using a technique they named it as dilation, then there is no need to train the language model on random input from the internet.

We can use GPT4 to create different versions of the children's book "my little pony", with many different syntaxes of simple sentences, grammars and languages as well, and train the model in one million (one billion?) different rewordings of the same story.

From then on, if the model is trained correctly to recognize language input and generate it as well, then we load up to the context window the additional knowledge we want it to know. Say we are interested in medicine, we load up into the context window the whole pubmed of 36 million papers, and interact with that knowledge base.

As Yann Le Cunn have stated, we humans don't need exabytes of data to learn language, why should a computer need that much?

There are big gaps between

1. the start of the problem,

2. when the first signs start showing and

3. when the collapse hits.

Japan is at 2. 3 won't hit for a few decades more, likely around 2060 or so.

What makes this problem unintuitive unlike most problems is that once the beginning signs hit, it's too late to avoid 3 for at least some time. You can shorten the length of the collapse but it is happening.

Now let's think and simply.
We're in the year 2055.

If the problem in 2055 is that there aren't enough workers then that means the necessary children consistently weren't born starting some 80 to about some 30 years ago.

Importing immigrants or suddenly giving birth back in 2023 won't change that fact. The real problem had already happened even then.You can't change the past.

Japan didn't need those children in 2023+ for the problem in 2055. They didn't need those immigrants.

If you import the immigrants or have the children in 2023, it's to shorten the duration of the collapse not to avoid it. Japan could say they brought in a million immigrants tomorrow and literally nothing changes for 2055 prospects.

But by the time they do need those workers in 2055, they will need so much more of them (because of how exponential the population decline will be. See the table)
While true, confidential restricted is not a US classification marking. It sounds more like the language on a clickwrap license installer, like what you would get for the radio programming software.

- treat your team with dignity and respect

- know the fundamentals of your business

- set a good example

- establish a positive culture

I went through a year of officers training in the Swedish army before my first job, after a year as a conscript. (Quite a different thing than other armed forces, Sweden being neutral, and no prospect of going to war on foreign soil, for example). I probably learned more things about leading people in those years, than I did in the following ten years. Not everyone was a good teacher, but there were some excellent leadership teachers there.

> I think you’re mistaken, at least about the French revolution. It was carried out by rich people, looking for more power, making use of a common and regular occurence of popular uprising

It is always thus; one must belong in order to revolt. In fact that was successfully exploited by the Swedish King in the mid 16th century by wiping out a significant chunk of disaffected aristocrats to form a moat between the monarchy and the classes that couldn't afford to revolt. A similar strategy was taken by Louis XIV by forcing the aristos to move to Versailles away from their intrinsic power bases. Of course in bot cases this just delayed things and the middle classes formed alliances with aristos and overthrow those regimes too.

You see this also in both competing sides of the Chinese civil war, Viet Nam's and India's independence movements, the Bolsheviks, US revolution and its civil war, etc. The hagiographic retellings always emphasize of the popular underpinnings in order to try to establish or maintain legitimacy, but it is never the case.

IRC has some advantages. You can use with without specialized software (and I have done many times when not having a IRC client), or you can write your own IRC client or use one of many. There may also be web interface if you want them.

Note that you can make IRC server which makes logs of channels and could provide a link to access the file in the MOTD or HELP file, if desired. It can also be done by clients and link in the TOPIC message, which is more common.

IRC is good for fast communication with short messages, but for slow communication with long form messages is also sometimes more useful and for that, NNTP would be better, I think.
IRC will still be around after Slack is long gone.
Well put. Yes, I mention a similar case towards the end of that exchange: Consider a random-guess classifier. That has a max accuracy of 100%. Clearly, not a useful measure on its own.

PRC is MORE supportive of commercial shipping since most of shipping goes to PRC, not unconstrained military FONAP under guise of civilian maritime research. Historically US has seized/disrupted much more merchant shipping than PRC because US likes their sanctions against adversaries.

AUKUS subs to disrupt PRC shipping is highly questionable, not least because there's only a few of them, and they won't be available for 30+ years if ever, by which time PRC subsurface will dramatically out number them, not to mention their survivability / detectability against PRC ASW / subsurface detector infra. The tactic / strategic value of the subs are questionable on short/medium/long term timelines. The real and immediate value of AUKUS was forward positioning more US assets in west AU (bombers / subs), which announement also happened essentially concurrently with AUKUS announcement. The complexities of the nuke boats, not the subs themselves, is the glue that politically bind AU with said US posture for decades. The subs themselves, IMO will do little in terms of force balance/deterrance in 30+ years, or half that considering how much long range strikes PRC will be building to make west AU and most of US infra in AU unsurvivable.

Anyone showing ads to me instead of taking my money is just fooling themselves. Because I block most of them, and the unskippable ones (twitch), I mute or I move to something else. YouTube does not show ads in my country, and this is the only reason I still use it on my Apple TV. If the whole service adopts it (I don't foresee it), that means they don't want me as a customer. So unless something is essential (government services,...), I wouldn't bother with them, and the list of essential things is very short.

But I don't foresee it. Restricting your user base like this by enforcing correct browsers and platforms means doing the work for any competitor that does not.
I'll never figure out why it turned my entire feed into NBA players and teams, I didn't follow a single one. I had to mute dozens of accounts to get it to show me something else. I actually found it kind of entertaining though, they could make the mute button a little more satisfying and then you'd have a game there.

> So if I don’t agree with it, I’m misunderstanding it?

Now you're misunderstanding me. I'm not saying you're not allowed to have a different opinion on the full thought experiment. You're assuming intelligence in the setup of the thought experiment and that is objectively not how it is meant to be interpreted.

> Why can intelligence and understanding not come from a sufficiently complex set of instructions?

Again I didn't say it can't just that convolutional neural networks as they currently exist are not that complex. It's a fancy Markov chain.

> I guess you will always win if you redefine all the words to mean what you want.

You say directly after making up your own definition of intelligence. I'm not interested in discussing your definition of intelligence or the definition of intelligence, I'm talking about this specific application of technology and if it meets a common definition of intelligence. Please point to a dictionary definition if you wanna continue this back and forth

Because learning has a definition. Theres a reason AI researchers call it "Training" and not "Teaching"

Not disagreeing, just commenting that I would have assumed that taking the entire system offline for a reboot on a weekly basis would be untenable from a business perspective. It seems at odds with the concept of all the redundancy built into mainframes to ensure high availability and uptimes. Given that many mainframe-based systems (e.g. airline reservations) generally need to be available 24/7/365, I would have assumed that while one part of the system is being rebooted, others are still available so the overall application can continue to run uninterrupted.
Granted, billions missing could amount to a fraction of one percent. And yes programs like Medicare have big fraud problems.
You should do two things to combat this- one is to carefully monitor third party API timings and lock acquisition timings. Knowing when you approach your distributed locking timeouts (and alerting if they time out more than occasionally) is key to... Well, using distributed locks at all. There are distributed locking systems that require active unlocking without timeout, but they break pretty easily if your process crashes and require manual intervention.

The second is to use a redis client that has its own thread - your application blocking on a third party API response shouldn't prevent you from updating/reacquiring the lock. You want a short timeout on the lock for liveness but a longer maximum lock acquire time so that if it takes several periods to complete a task you still can.

The third is to not use APIs without idempotency. :)
