That's mispricing risk. Now the depositors have no reason to care whether their bank is creditworthy or well-managed, so the bank has the incentive to gamble with their deposits as much as possible. If they get lucky they get to keep the winnings, if they go belly up the FDIC eats the cost.
How does Bayesian reasoning fit into this? To go with the introductory example, having seen the sun go up ~ 11000 times in my lifetime can never prove that it will go up tomorrow, but every time it does go up, I adjust my priors for expecting the sun to go up the next day, and assign it a bit more likeliness.
They are baking the third batch, hopefully get some samples big enough for testing resistance this time.

Looks really cool! One thing I'm not clear on from the docs: does it support ignoring changes to some files for "real" commits? For example, a repo at work has a file used for mocking up feature flags. The file is tracked but it's encouraged to edit it when testing things, just don't commit your changes. If I'm not mistaken, I'd have to remember to undo changes to that file before "describing" the commit. Is that right?

>Who in their right mind would reward only 3 people out of 6?

In this case, the discovery, if it’s real, could get the awards for Physics and also for Chemistry. Because it’s such a once in a century level of scientific breakthrough

Perhaps Physics award mainly for a theoretical explanation and Chemistry award mainly for the experimental process

Therefore, six authors might be honored. It’s unlikely, but it’s a solution if the authors deserve it

> you just know if you fiddle about with a fine wire and certain types of crystal,

Even an old rusty razor blade will work as a diode if you try hard and long enough.
What I gathered is that if the gulf stream stops, warm water will no longer flow north and the ice sheets will grow explosively, triggering an ice age (the kind where thick ice sheets flow southwards). That would pretty much wipe out anything built in the northern half of Europe... although granted, I don't know if it was like a kilometer high ice sheet rolling our way or how fast it went in previous ice ages, it might be slow enough that it can be stopped and broken down before it causes damage.
> that's the thing - if it is hard to manufacture and works maybe 1:10 tries, how can it lose quickly experimentally?

Simple, given enough (say > 3) fully accredited labs trying and failing to get a result with the published process, it's a fair conclusion to say that the results cannot be replicated.

Getting a pure ingot of iron is no simple task if you don't have access to a good furnace. So you'll end up with 'bad' (impure) iron if it doesn't come out of the ground in reasonably pure chunks.
This doesn't looks like a healthy discussion. I will reply to healthy bits only.

> That's a novel interpretation of the words 'cold fusion', and uses 'low temperature' in a way that I'm not comfortable with, even if it stops short of getting into the millions of degrees.

I'm aware that many scientist are interpreting cold fusion as «room temperature nuclear reactions», then immediately discard the baby with the bath. It takes lot of energy to explain that «Low Energy Nuclear Reactions» doesn't mean «No Extra Energy Nuclear Reactions». It just LENR guys are trying to lower the Coulomb barrier or boost performance, to make reaction happen in cooler environment, while ITER guys are trying to make hotter environment.

> But do be aware that a single photon carries no more than 10^-19 Joules and that Watts are a measure of power, not of energy...).

I'm obsessed with ideas of reproduction of quantum effects at macro scale, so macro-photon is my goal №1. Of course I have no knowledge required to do that, because it will be for the first time, but I have an idea for the starting point.
Anything that uses electricity would use less electricity because you aren’t wasting it as heat.

So in theory you could have a ridiculous computer that runs 1000GW of power through it without heating up. Or a flying car. Or power cables that lose nothing during travel.

Naturally that’s why it doesn’t make sense. It’s too game-breaking to be possible in normal conditions.

Glitching something out by making it basically maximum cold makes sense because you’re making it fully still so that it stops messing with the current. Glitching something out by squeezing it until it can’t move makes sense. Leaving it in a normal room means it would have to be something completely crazy.
I think most of it is made up but I’ve also seen a database schema and usage pattern (in an enterprise / MSSQL application) that’s far worse than anything I’ve read on that site so maybe it isn’t. But a lot of the stories have this ring of made-upness to it.
"In no case may a prize amount be divided between more than three persons." [1]

Sad state of affairs to expect a reward for brilliance and to have science bottlenecked by a merchant of death. Just the fact that the merchant of death gives "peace prizes" should have made the entire affair laughable a long time ago. Perhaps it's time to move on from this ancient and limited understanding of appraisal, awards.

I'm in no position to ever receive a Nobel prize, but I'm fairly certain I am moral enough to reject such a grandstanding award coming from such a troubled tradition. Yes, I just virtue-signalled calling immoral every recipient of the Nobel Prize, mostly out of sheer distaste for the ceremony, but also thinking of the terrible inefficiency which has plagued science and research in the last 122 years. How many discoveries were missed because following the course to unveil them was not "Nobel-worthy". How many scientists had their careers ruined for pursuing the Nobel award without being granted anything. Just the fact that only 1.8% of the Nobel Prize in Physics were awarded to women [2] shows the entire thing as the charade it is, no other context needed.

This is overall very solid. However you have to be careful to not go overboard with this line of reasoning. I've seen people try to explain away inefficient code by inventing a chain of optimizations that the compiler could conceivably do. If this chain is too long, it probably won't happen! The most common pitfall I've seen is relying on inlining too much (specifically a C++ template monster). As far as I can tell, compilers have a fixed number of inline passes, and don't keep inlining until they hit a fixed point.
X Windows at least has the "advantage" that you can download the code for Xlib or the Xorg server itself to see what's going on under the hood.

Although, you're going to have to be fairly proficient to get your head around that stuff too.

Agree that X11 has a dreadful API.

> You're not quite getting it.

I guess I must be failing to respond to the point you're trying to make in the way you expect. I admit that I am not quite sure what that point is.

There are several overlapping concerns here. One concern is the possibility of AI systems violating the intellectual property rights of living artists whose work is not in the public domain and who have not given permission for it to be used in this way. Another (but not the only other) concern is working artists being outcompeted by AI in the marketplace. You seem to be responding to the second concern; I am responding to the first, since it's most relevant to the context of Greg Rutkowski's name and work being included in AI art training sets without his consent and (now) explicitly against his wishes.

If you think I'm arguing that removing copyrighted works from the training sets of AI systems whose operators haven't secured the rights to said works will ultimately prevent such systems from partially or totally outcompeting human artist(s) in some market(s), you're wrong. I have not argued that and I will not, since I don't believe it. What I believe is that the cat is out of the bag with these systems and that we will be stuck with them for the foreseeable future, regardless of how their creators manage to finagle training sets, regardless of their impacts on the prospects of working artists and more broadly on culture. I suspect attempts to curtail their use or ban them outright would do more harm than good. But I also believe that all of the above being true doesn't give us the right to run roughshod over the existing intellectual property rights of artists as we grease ourselves up for the long slide into cultural oblivion.

I hope that helps to clarify my position.
This is another example of why to do great science you need to do great engineering. The original group rushed to publish the paper without polishing the details, and now other groups are struggling to replicate their results.
Automatic subtitled translation is "furiously" laughable. :)
There was nothing offensive or corrosive about the way you stated the correction so I don't see why you should be down voted; as someone who is learning a foreign language, I can say that having this kind of correction is useful.

Rewarding the mob for its hysteria and stupidity by hiding away from them is the wrong move in my humble opinion; after all, you're only losing internet points which aren't real.
Thank you for the answer!

It's currently operating at 5 Gbps, but it is expected to scale significantly based on traffic trends. It appears to be more cost-effective to rent multiple 5 Gbps boxes rather than a single 20 Gbps box.
The protocol used is protobuf over HTTPS (not gRPC) without channels, and it is stateless. The application proxies requests to underlying services, and is capable of handling 10 Gbps of requests on 8 cores. While the likelihood of a DDoS attack seems low, it is not entirely immune. Though there is no strict SLA, the service aims for availability 99.5% of the time
Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Hadn't even thought about the difference between age and year when I wrote that.

Can you provide the citations for that? Migration forecasts are absolutely enormous [1] and 10 million seems very low in terms of relation to the numbers and how humanity will react to it all.

What about the Exynos RCE bugs? Now that they are patched they are secure again or how is this supposed to work? What about the intentional backdoor unearthed in the pixel phone (the sim swap thingy)? Who was that for?

My problem is, as a user, whose expertise is not 100% security, how can a layman decide which device to trust? Trust the neighbor, trust the expert who thinks is an expert, but doesn't see his own limitations, trust the newspapers parroting whatever they find (or their security advisor), trust the marmots or trust the looks, because you don't know what the silicon does. You might know one domain, but not multiple ones, like you might know the IT domain, but doesn't know the underlying physics domain, so you might think the phone is secure in the IT domain, but since you don't know jackshit about the physics, you have to again rely on someone's advice.

The iPhone is locked down tight, even security experts have complained in the past because analysing the core internals is cumbersome. But that's a double edged sword, when you can't even get basic info about phone's status without resorting to some hacking shenanigans.

Any way to know your firmware has not changed? How come there are zero tools for the layman to verify the status of his device? You don't know whether your usb's firmware is intact, whether your motherboard is a-ok and the list goes on.

According to newspapers, it is/was the panacea of security (iPhone), yet sec bugs after sec bugs are coming out all the time. You don't even have complete control over the phone, since the software switches (like wifi) are not actually disabling the wifi circuitry.

How come banks are sitting on ancient systems and are seemingly fine?

Should you trust zerodium's bounty prices, should you trust exploit brokers? (they ought to see what's an emmentaler right?)

Encrypted secure phones? Look how many criminals got caught, by putting their trust blindly into something, that someone parroted about how secure that is.

GrapheneOS says they are secure, but where are tools that show you that yes we do this and that and that solves these kinds of attacks, thwarted these attacks in the past, demonstrated?

Or should I go with an old blackberry? What about this article?

Should you consider Mikko's advice. Use a phone that is made by a country, whose intelligence agency is not a threat to you? But how do you know that a phone, which is made in X country is actually controlled by that country's IA? And how do you know which IA is not a threat to you? :DDDDD Do you even have to fear against a nation state's capabilities or since they have unimited budget you are fucked when somehow get in their crosshairs?

It's like flipping a coin, putting your trust into someone's solution blindly.
The simple truth is we don’t have a culture of replication because no one is paying and no one is paying because no one is demanding it as part of the incentive system that the money is part of…

If a prerequisite of publication in a top tier journal was someone having replicated the work… anyone at all… then the quality of write up would improve dramatically because all the stuff that never gets written up would be written up so that the second lab costs them less money to do the replication work, so the second lab doesn’t spent a month failing because they didn’t bake the powder in a vacuum for a week before performing the entire synthesis under dry nitrogen purge when the methodology just said the powder had been dried and the synthesis was performed at ambient pressure in a zero humidity atmosphere…
The birthday paradox would only apply if we are interested in one group replicating the result of any other group, not the result of the original paper.

It's the difference between "do any people in this group share a birthday" vs "do any people in this group share my birthday".
What's particularly interesting here is that the Pilbara, where the mines and trains in the article are located, is only 500–1000 metres elevation, and the train tracks are hundreds of kilometres long. So we are talking of an average grade of one in several hundred. i.e. very much not steep!

I remember playing this game at school - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain_Ltd

The game provides a simple government simulation, allowing the player to manage the British economy and compete in elections every 5 years. The player takes on the role of leader of one of the major parties, managing variables such as tax rates and welfare payments, which each year results in changes to key economic indicators such as inflation and unemployment.

The trick to win was to tax people massively for four years. And then spend like crazy in the election year.
I don’t think that’s a common complaint in itself. Sure, new people wonder why that sizeof line is needed, but once you learn about ABI compatibility that makes perfect sense.

It’s about the other parts.
Baked goods usually means pot brownies, but it doesn't matter what type. I fell victim to the delicious brown squares a few times. Then I learned that if I'm going to make a batch of pot brownies, that I need to make 3 batches of brownies with only 1 being "magic", or just 1 batch of pot brownies and 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies - because what do you do when you eat some pot brownies? You want to eat more pot brownies, because they're delicious and you have the munchies now.

But you're right, it's way easier to not "overdose" with inhaled THC than it is with edibles. People just need to approach the two methods differently. Inhaling is instant gratification, where as eating is delayed gratification. Not everyone is capable of delaying gratification because so many people are impatient and impulsive. Edibles are still vastly superior in terms of healthiness so long as they aren't just 95% sugar and 5% THC.

Personally, these days I use "Protabs" which contain 0 sugar, just THC and a binder (probably corn starch) and the high is extremely clean and clear and completely guilt-free. And the dosage is very reliable and repeatable. There's no guessing involved now that I know my tolerance.
Random thought that just occurred to me: something I always wanted as a student but which is likely impractical because of the time it takes from the tutor, is to have an exam in the form of a conversation, where you can elaborate and explain and ask follow-up questions when you’re not quite sure, etc. This actually seems like something an LLM chat would be perfect for? Let the student talk to it directly and have it ask about whatever the course is about, and then have the teacher evaluate their ability to reason and explain various concepts.

> From the perspective of the marijuana user, suffering and struggling belongs to others, not them. This means an outsider makes the judgement call about who is suffering and to what degree.

"Belongs to others"? Did you read the article?

> Cannabis users are often willing to pay the price of admission for a struggle-free existence. That's the point of regular use: to take the edge off.

Is it the effect of regular use too? Not the impression one gets from the piece.

> The price of admission can be slower cognitive activity, reduced physical activity, less pursuit of goals, and less interest in meeting social expectations. These things might be measures of a "good productive citizen", but those standards are external and artificial, and pot users conscientiously put those norms on the chopping block.

Marijuana users are not consciously challenging norms when they light up. I don't know what point you're trying to make here. That everyone who uses it does so because they want to?

Give the article another read.

I think a discussion on induction is best done by splitting the resulting models in two: models based on statistics, and models based on (abstract/iconic) simulation. (Eg all swans are white vs all swans lay eggs.)

Since our reality is "atoms and void", and since the sun and earth are huge configurations of atoms locked together in a stable pattern, the sun coming up tomorrow has nothing to do with statistics. And bayesian reasoning plays no role in our predictions or certainty. At least not directly. It does indirectly, by asking what perturbation, what intervention, can stop this from happening? And how likely are such events?
