Yeah I think the nature of research is de facto searching in the dark. I mean if it weren't, would it really be research? I think of the analogy as the knowledge space is a dark void and our collective knowledge is permanent torches lighting up the area. Researchers are exploring into the darkness and finding suitable places to place the next torch. Maybe we can say that the torch's brightness is defined by how well known your work is, since people tend to the flames more (not to be confused with how important the work is).

The big question to me is about the geometry of that knowledge space. Is it bounded? If bounded (most likely imo), how do we approach the bound? Do we plateau once we hit it (unlikely imo)? Do we approach {,sub,super}-linearly? Do we approach {,sub,super}-linearly and then transition into an asymptotic convergence? (e.g. S-curve) This question actually has a profound impact on the question of the risk of a super-intelligence. IMO knowledge is most likely bound ( and most likely looks like an S-curve. If we're more than half way through that S-curve than a super intelligence that is 100x smarter than us may only know <100x as much as us, which we have good reason to believe that this is the case since knowledge appears to compound and accelerate (linear and sublinear models don't fit our historic trend, but that doesn't tell us the shape of the curve ahead). That reduces the risk of a super intelligence absolutely outsmarting us since it would be easier to close the gap, especially since learning through observation is easier than learning through exploration (can use its torches, even if they are more difficult to see). I'm not sure I see this really discussed much in the super intelligence conversations and that we're often working with different priors so that creates fundamental disagreements that become impassible. Maybe we need to set these priors first before we even discuss the next priors about motivation of a super intelligence.

At least for math, I don't think I have the capacity to learn it all in the short human life, even if we're just discussing what math would be helpful to ML. But it sure is fun to learn it, so I guess the inability to learn it all is not really a downside :) Now if only I can convince others that math is fun __and__ useful to ML.

One more thing I find baffling is the preference to ignore the cascade… and seeing it as a benefit.

The cascade is where the value of CSS comes from! It’s an incredibly powerful concept.

I use and love the Inverted Triangle CSS (ITCSS) approach and write a fraction of the CSS code I used to.

Having a few utility classes, using variables for project-specific colors, breakpoints, spacing, using fluid typography, grid, and flexbox, make writing well-structured minimal CSS code a pleasure.

Still, if LK-99 had turned out to be an RTSC, that wouldn't necessarily take us any closer to an industrial-grade RTSC. It could just as well be a false lead, an interesting material with some niche applications that would remain more of a curiosity than anything.

RTSCs are not like cold fusion - as far as we know, they should be possible, so finding one would not upend science in some huge way. If the ones we find don't also happen to have all the other interesting properties we need, then they may never have any significant impact at all. This is what seems to be missed.

If LK-99 had been an RTSC, it should still not have been major news outside materials science research, since it wouldn't have had any direct impact on the economy, nor any predictable pathway to one. Some other future discovery, if it ever happened, would have been the one that actually mattered. That potential future discovery may have built on the current work, but whether it would be 1 year down the line or 10 or 100 or never would not be knowable.
Click-bait is the common term though so it's stuck around.

We in cybersecurity know that you need to have brew/pip/npm/whatever installed and you need admin access, but it still absolutely _horrifies_ us.

Treating a dev box as anything other than a permanently compromised piece of hardware is a recipe for disaster, and that applies to our machines where we have to run those tools.

> Shouldn't a standard MDM block non-essential apps by default?

Yes.

But there are some (big) assumptions here:

* People with admin access aren't circumventing it.

Crippled, yes, but I would disagree that it is fundamentally limited, or that an input stream of human language is inadequate to bootstrap "meaning", or in some way philosophically inferior to native biological senses.

It's very interesting you bring up Helen Keller because she's generally regarded as possessing the same level of sentience - and indeed intelligence - as anyone else, despite the extreme narrowness of her sensory input. It took her much longer to get going, but it's not as if she only understood concepts that directly related to touch. The experience with "water" taught her the concept of a symbol, and from there she could bootstrap everything else. LLMs already work with symbols - that is their sense.

In fact we're all a bit like Helen Keller, in the sense that if sensory input is the basis for our entire world model, then it is a very small foundation supporting an incredibly vast and intricate edifice. There is a considerable abstraction gap between concepts like "capitalism" and any direct sensory input. We all of us, all the time, manipulate concepts without thinking through what they "mean" all the way to something we can see and touch.

There's a difference between "supports the syntax for joins" and "does joins efficiently enough that they are useful."

My experience with Clickhouse is that its joins are not performant enough to be useful. So the best practice in most cases is to denormalize. I should have been more specific in my earlier comment.

But let us keep the logic terse. There are dead because of X, and if some practice P reduces X there will be some advocacy to have it adopted around. The numbers are just relative so largely irrelevant to the advocates.

But it is best to have them right so the lower instances summoned by "Millions!" and "One per million!" - out of context if a cost-risk-benefit with quantifications in all parts is not fully construed - can be avoided.
Fibromyalgia is more than just a placeholder, there are specific symptoms associated with it (such as the presence of myalgia in multiple locations on both sides of the body above and below the waist), it's just that it's severely understudied, not much is known about the cause, and it's pretty much diagnosed by exclusion.

Fun fact, the drug Xywav which has been FDA-approved for narcolepsy (and ideopathic hypersomnia) has also been shown in studies to help with fibromyalgia. They even sought FDA approval for that but the FDA rejected it on the grounds that there are too many fibromyalgia patients and therefore the risk of abuse is too high (the drug is related to GHB).

Aluminum vs copper is a good example. Another is that we already do use superconducting transmission lines in a few places. We could do more of that, but presumably it's expensive to install and/or maintain otherwise we'd be using it everywhere. I'm not sure what the longest or highest capacity superconducting links currently in existence are.
What an amazing time we live in. It took weeks for the world to investigate this "discovery". Weeks. Not months, years, or decades.

Most CSS codebases just like most JS codebases are low quality. This is a reflection of process more than anything else.

TailwindCSS puts a bottom threshold to the low quality - it guarantees a minimal level, regardless of what the rest of the codebase looks like.

This comes at the cost of general (but limited) messiness and guaranteed lack of maintainability.

A man goes to prison, and the first night while he's laying in bed, he hears someone yell out, "44!", followed by laughter from the other prisoners.

Puzzled, he laid back down, but then he heard someone else yell out, "72!", followed by even more laughter.

"What's going on?" he asked his cellmate.

"Well, we've all heard every joke so many times, we've given them each a number to make it easier."

"Oh," he says, "can I try?"

"Sure, go ahead."

So, he yells out "102!" and the place goes nuts. People are whooping and laughing in a hysteria. He looks at his cellmate rolling on the ground laughing.

"Wow, good joke, huh?"

"Yeah! We ain't never heard that one before!"

Oracle is so far beyond anyone other major player in crookedness that it's not even funny.

Oh, you happened to run your oracle database in a VM and got audited? They'll try to shake you down to pay for however many oracle licenses for every other box you are running hypervisors on, because they claim that you could have transferred the database to any of those other boxes. So if you have a datacenter with 1000 boxes running VMWare, and you ran Oracle on one of them, they try to shake you down for paying for not buying 1000 licenses. Then they say but if you just buy a bunch of cloud credits, we can make your 1000x license violation go away.

Kenneth E Iverson, the inventor of APL was truly a genius and his primary mission was about how to bridge the world of computing and mathematics.

To do this he invented the APL notation.

If you find the article interesting, you might enjoy my curation of his work "Math For The Layman" [0] where he introduces several math topics using this "Iversonian" thinking.

Why would a hedge fund trust any spyware? More like there is a political meme trash talking Tik Tok. It is some sort of virtue signaling to make a case for siding with the Good Guys in DC.

If I understood the article correctly, this misfeature is for the rare case in which the server reboots after a power loss and the real-time-clock battery on the motherboard is dead, which can happen long after the initial setup of the server.
I don't disagree with anything you said.

I'm saying more that if the compression algorithm is benchmarking against "Alice in Wonderland" and has consumed the entirety of "Alice in Wonderland" in training the LLM (along with popular paragraphs and sentences quoted elsewhere), then it might do particularly well at reciting lines from that book and thus be able to compress it extremely well. I'd be more interested in seeing the compression algorithm's performance on new or unreleased works that would have no way of being training data.

As an extreme hypothetical, I could make a compression algorithm that is a table mapping an ID to an entire book and fill it with all the popular works. "Alice in Wonderland" would be replaced with a single short identifier string and achieve a ~0.001% compression ratio. An unseen work would be replaced with an <unknown> ID followed by the entire work and be slightly bigger. Then, I benchmark only the popular works and show insanely impressive results!

I have no doubt the LLM compressor would do really well on unseen works based on what you said above, but it's not a fair look at its performance to run it on works it may have been explicitly trained on.

For international it made sense, because not every retail would ship internationally, but a private seller on the eBay might. Otherwise, I don’t see why a national buy would choose a used item from ebay over a new one from an online retailer.
> Because the truth is that our academic incentive structure has generally fallen out of alignment with the actual goals of science.

Did it though? Nobody published this, which is good, right? And then Max Planck Institute gave the most conclusive answer, and they're the most prestigious replicator-to-be mentioned, so that also sounds good right?. And now, Mr. L and Mr. K will not receive funding for this material, because it decisively failed to publish, which is also good?

I don't know. It sounds like the academic incentive structure worked really well here.
I would love to know if these results apply to fibromyalgia as well, as CFS/ME-like fatigue can be present with fibromyalgia.

Oh interesting! I have a smart watch (albeit a Garmin instead of an Apple Watch) and purposely choose not to send notifications there because I'd look at it all the time. Do you find yourself glancing down at your watch even when you aren't getting notifications? Or do you have pretty tuned notification settings such that if you do receive one, it's likely important?

I've started leaving my phone in a different room, using it as a continuity camera, or literally tossing it on my chair or bed before sitting down to work, but inevitably I'll need it for 2FA via Google Authenticator— maybe it's time to move 2FA to another device, and once it's on my desk, it often gets picked up out of habit.
Patents are often not directly exploited by the holder; instead, the holder sits and waits decfor someone else to build a working tool, then sues.

So, yes, folks should be able to secure a parent before they're able to build and sell a working product, _but_ it should be a requirement that they build and sell within a shorter time-frame than the length of the patent, e.g. the patent is for X years and I have to build and sell within 0.2*X years or the patent is rejected.
