> Think antibiotic resistant bacteria as a simple example.

That is why I explicitly wrote "macroevolution" and not "evolution". The emergence antibiotic-resilient bacteria is a phenomenon of microevolution, whose existence is, as far as I am aware, much less controversial in evangelical Christian circles.

To my understanding, the offending topic in these evangelical Christian circles rather seems to be whether macroevolution and the formation of species can be suitably explained via undirected small microevolution over an insanely long time.

> Interestingly, many people who argue this way are very hesitant to apply this argument to sparking knowledge about evangelical Christian theology.

I'm absolutely not hesitant for kids to be taught about evangelical christian theology. I don't think kids should be proselytized to by the state.

That is, I'm more than fine if kids study the bible as part of class. I'm less fine if kids are taught "The bible is the word of god and if you don't believe it you are going to hell".

To put it in another context, I'm perfectly fine if there was a class teaching about Hinduism in high school. I'm far less fine (and I'd think most people would be) if that class involved calling Christians heathens and requiring participation in Satsang.
> To me, adding a constant to all edges seems like an obvious idea to try

Yeah, as you explained that is not useful because it does not preserve the shortest-path of the original graph (which is the reason we are making all edges non-negative in the first place).

That is why Johnson's algorithm adds an edge-dependent weight to each of the edges.
I'll explain it, since no other local has bothered to.

In the UK, those who know don't call the so-called 'DfT - Department for Transport', we call it Department for Roads, because that's what it is.

But those who actually know are not yet a majority. The majority think 'Dr Beeching' (an mere frontman), destroyed the railways, yet have never heard the name Ernest Marples. Since the Marples creature unleashed carnage decades ago, there hasn't been a single government in Westminster which has not been anti-railways.

Nobody wants 'HS2'. The railway industry does not want it. The PR for it is ridiculous even by Unicorn-chaining HM Gov standards (see: Gareth Dennis), even the contractors admit its a farce.

Not only does 'HS2' reflect the bigotry of UKpolitik against real civilised transport, but it reflects a much greater stagnation and overall decline in the 'yu-kay' formerly Great Britain.

Now why they didn't make a touch macbook/detachable screen with osx is another question, and likely because there isnt the demand. i was just addressing why you couldn't just smush ios and osx together/run both on the same device

> Car manufacturers will want to grab and sell behavior, supermarkets, banks, toothbrushes, fridges, thermostats and doorbells will want to do the same.

I'm curious why you think so if the goal isn't advertising. Behavior data is useful for business that deals with behavior. But I can't think of broad reasons for these companies to collect such data when you're already a customer, because they don't need to affect your behavior that that point, right? Unless they're advertising to you.
Would it? What if future human society collects and/or reveres the skulls of ancestors?
The number of passenger miles/hours driven by AVs are such that no fatalities would have been expected with a human driver. A lot of automobile deaths happen but it's not because cars are dangerous it's because we drive a mind numbingly large amount.

“Useless eater” is a term I suppose I’m disappointed, but not surprised by, at this point.
the os isn't the hard part, its the app ecosystem and navigating how do you ensure they all run properly on x86, and not with a huge performance or battery hit. i would be rosetta2 in reverse, and as great as rosetta2 is it has limitations & does come at a cost.

It sounds like you had a rough experience. I'm sorry about that. That said, for a lot of families homeschooling had changed by the late 90s and early 2000s. I was homeschooled around that time with my siblings, as were my wife and her family. We all still have great relationships with our parents, and our homeschool experiences were very far from the stereotypes.

We participated in many different co-ops. We took every AP class offered at the local high school. We're all functional adults with normal social lives.

It's obviously hard to come to any conclusions from warring anecdotes alone, but I thought it's worth sharing mine.

Strained relationships with adult children suck, but they're not a given when homeschooling, nor does sending your kids to public school necessarily save your relationship with your kids.
Is church/temple out of the question too? Where do people go these days?
It all comes back to race in America, ever since schools were desegregated. And because in America school funding is local, rich zip codes have good schools and poor zip codes have bad schools (to a reasonable approximation). Instead of fixing this fundamental problem, bad schools are held up as "failures" and used to push bad policy.

Public schools require a lot of tax money and community involvement, and truly good public schools (say, Finland tier) require much more than billionaires are willing to pay. So we pretend public schools are fundamentally broken and push "school choice" which just drains resources from public schools even further in a negative feedback loop. We fracture the communities so that the wealthy experience one version of America and the poor experience an entirely different one. Rinse and repeat until the situation gets so bad like it has in Florida, and all the decent public school teachers are quitting en masse.
Protests are inconvenient. That’s the point.

Depends how you define original. A UUID4 is as original and unique as a newborn baby and equally as common and generic.

An LLM can certainly generate an answer that has never been seen before, it might even generate a correct answer that has never been seen before.

Discovering some major new concept (that is correct) is another thing.

My take though is that words like “original” and “creative” and such are really fuzzy and aren’t productively used to describe what LLMs can and can’t do.
I'm someone who had them during the boom around 2010 or so, then found myself giving them away because they didn't seem useful, and now find myself wanting them again. Mostly I've noticed how I like to read in bed at night rather than on my phone, am not happy with the illumination options with real books in that situation, and not happy with the screens on my phone either.

I'd probably buy one immediately if I could be guaranteed I could put any pdf on it and have it display flawlessly, and if it were relatively open in terms of compatibility.

To play the devil's advocate: what you described in the last paragraph is exactly how I imagine that classes about evolutionary biology or earth history feel to evangelical Christians. :-)
Some good intuition around what is common sense for most people, that a loop with some matrix multiplication never becomes intelligent.

What's missed (at least in my skim) is that the "intelligent" part of current AI is in the training, not the inference, which as pointed out is fixed, and literally just some multiplication. Inference doesn't think about stuff but training does (for some definition), and doesn't converge necessarily.

I still think it's ridiculous to equate neural networks with intelligence, but a stronger argument has to deal with training as well.
The hunting urge runs deep. I've felt it.
It’s not as simple as you’re saying but you’re also a bit off for the record.

Annual net migration per 1000:

Of all countries the US ranks #39.

Of developed countries with a population > 10M the US ranks #8 (#9 if you include Saudi Arabia but that’s obviously misleading). The countries ahead of us are Australia, Canada, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, UK and Italy.

Of developed countries with a population > 5M the US ranks #14. This adds New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore, Norway, Ireland and Austria.

Normalizing to population also comes with various considerations.

For further perspective: in terms of foreign born population the US is #1 with about 50 million in total as well as annually with 2 million per year (countered by 1 million emigrants to get your total of a net 3/1000). This is a whopping 15% of the US population, 18% of the total migrant population in the world and 28% of the migrant population in high income countries.

Normalizing to population the migrant proportion is 14% in all high income countries and 12% in developed countries.

While these numbers are also challenging to interpret as all of these nations have different immigration needs and migrant patterns I wouldn’t call the US “not high at all”.

Feel free to correct me if I missed a country.
One thing to keep in mind when reading this article is that human cognition always halts after some number of decades. “Finite” does not mean small or insignificant, and it’s easy to read too much into even the best-reasoned impossibility arguments.

Many of them since 72 anyway. [1] The birds I've had challenges with are Magpies. They kill the Finches including one breed that is the state bird Western Meadowlark that I feed but I found that if I can lure some Crows here they scare off the Magpies. I wish I knew how to keep the Crows around all the time. It's fun listening to them talk to one another. Farmers used to get paid to turn in Magpies but now they are under federal protection.

I’m saying you as a parent can talk to your kids and provide the missing perspective.

I do not endorse the parents of todays worlds almost continuous crusade to change school curriculum in the face of things they disagree with.

Provide context or alternative views to your kids where you feel is appropriate. Let them make their own choices.

I think the GP is suggesting that you attempt to understand public school curricula before you begin attempting to torpedo your local school board.
If you're interested in eye-tracking, I'm interested in funding you
I don't think the story is quite that simple, for one: at least in my schooling experience, while it is true that property taxes help fund schools, most of the poor, bad-performing schools were allocated more $/student than the other schools once you account for federal funding.

There's also pretty inconclusive evidence that school funding actually is tied to performance all that strongly at all. Interventions tied to giving schools more funding generally do not improve the performance of the school.

Houston has zoning if we define zoning as "rules that define where you can build, what you can build, and what auxiliary details you must include". They just don't call it zoning.

More importantly, near everyone arguing for change in zoning aren't saying that zoning should be abolished, just changed. So, Houston is not a counter-example.

YMMV, but this doesn’t pass the smell test for me. modest sized projects will freeze a $5 droplet during an install and build for me. I’ve tried across multiple providers. DigitalOcean, Linode, and Vultr. Tried all of them, and a $5 droplet can’t handle anything but a static site IMO. I don’t disagree a startup can go far on a small droplet but inflation has made $5 droplets too slow to be useful IME.
The parent is not making that argument.

If you read carefully you’ll notice they recommend teaching your kids your alternate view yourself and exposing them to multiple view points.

If you want to begin to understand this I recommend you read two books, in the following order:
The Abolition of Britain - Peter Hitchens
The Abolition of Liberty - Peter Hitchens

Synopsis:
Two worldwide wars led the flower of Britain to be torn to shreds by shrapnel into rat food. The millions of broken homes, (furthered by the subsequent exodus of native Brits which continues somewhat to this day), and society which has never really recovered led to the spivs taking charge. Hence the phrase 'mediocre mafia'.

Things are changing for the better, and will continue to do so. But right now we are seeing the light of the past fade and the lunacy (PR1D3overPrinciples) of a nation only just coming to terms with this loss from 1914 onwards - hence 'special relationship' sucking up to 'USA'/'YU-ES-AY'.
