> people are constantly inadvertently cutting each other off

It's more an effect of not seeing faces / missing some very subtle social cues that help in having "rounds" in a conversation. But you get used to it and learn to counter it, and besides I know a handful of people who cut others off in real life as well.
You are veering into territory that is interesting, but outside the scope of the initial topic. All I'm saying is you don't need a machine to be "sentient" or "self aware" to generate novel outputs. Whether or not these models are created in an ethical way is another matter. Even if it was unethical, that doesn't really negate what I'm saying.
I would have loved some elaboration on how "the data" came to be. It appears in the sample app that each document is some subset of technical docs? That can be helpful, but when each document is very large you run into token limitations and increased probability of hallucinations. That's what I ran into when I tried to build a similar application that offers "GPT over docs". Figuring out your strategy for splitting documents isn't trivial.

> There's a very obvious absence of any real philosophical analysis or depth of understanding of the subject matter

Integrated Information Theory seems like a lot of thought has gone into it, and it would ascribe a good deal of consciousness to some of these systems.

> A formal system by definition lacks features that are characteristic of intelligence (semantics and the ability to abstract from particulars)

And quantum mechanics would have you believe Newtonian mechanics is nonsense, but there are such things as emergent properties, and rules changes as scales allow more complex compositions of simple rules.

> If you are prepared to worry about your computer becoming conscious.

That feels a bit disingenuous. You're dressing down some of the worlds largest supercomputers as "my computer". I'm not worried about my M1 Mac suffering. I'm worried about an emergent mind composed of thousands and thousands of computers working together to simulate intelligence suffering.
I'd love to make a highly integrated webserver. At this point it seems like spending tons of time getting caught up on what other people have done, why they have done it. Trying different techniques to see what actually seems to work. Where abstractions need to be and what provides the nicest transition between accessing different portions of stack. At this point I'm getting paid to work in tons of languages and integrating different stacks.

I wish somebody would unify these things but I'm running out of time in the day .

People that are able to commit time to projects like that are truly amazing.
It sounds like we’re experiencing the same things then. The only difference is that I accept the choices of others, even if I disagree with them, whereas you believe you know better and would like to force your beliefs on others.

If 95% of people really cannot afford a home yet vote to restrict new housing starts, then maybe they prefer less housing for whatever reason. That’s not a reason to force housing upon them.

Thanks for your note. The package notes on Jacobin say that we strongly discourage folks from running it in its present form. There are enough features still to be implemented, that for anything but trivial classes, you won't have a good experience. TBH, we're about a year out (we think) from having a version we can solicit users to test.

Nonetheless, if you'd be kind enough to post the above error and the class you used into the GitHub Issues tracker [0], we'll definitely include it in our test suite and make sure whatever the problem is, it'll be corrected.

Well they're not a "full-blown" machine, in that they do cut out a lot of things unnecessary for Lambda's (and incidentally, fly.io's) use case. ACPI is one example given in the article.

But yes, they do virtualize hardware not the kernel. I'm willing to bet you could swap out vanilla containerd with firecracker-containerd for most users and they wouldn't notice a difference given they initialize so fast.
It's not a full blown VM, it has limitations.
Uh-huh. And yet they can (according to the article) turn .length into a special opcode, even though it looks like any other property access. So the Java compiler could just as easily see size() being called on what it knows is an array and turn that into a special opcode. We could argue about the semantic differences between length-as-in-number-of-characters and size-as-in-bytes, but for most purposes, i.e. when any of String, char[], or List<Character> would be logically equivalent, there's no technical reason for having different APIs for what are essentially different implementations of the same thing.

Like when Rasmus couldn't stick to a naming convention for PHP functions, and it turned out to be because he couldn't be bothered to write a decent hash function. So everyone who uses the language from now to forever has to memorize this inconsistent naming scheme because the language designers couldn't get their shit together. Yeah, I get it; sometimes it's hard to foresee these things from the beginning. But it annoys me when people make up excuses for these inconsistencies that don't hold water instead of just admitting that someone messed up.

> Shimmer is NOT clinical and we do NOT provide licensed medical services

In which case I personally find the phrase "All of our Shimmer ADHD Coaches are licensed or certified mental health professionals" to be quite deceptive.
Yes, sure. Cameras and biological light sensing have different tradeoffs. My lay person's understanding is that the eye-brain neuron pathway bandwidth is not theoretically sufficient for what we perceive and so our brain is effectively running an ongoing simulation of the future a few miliseconds ahead of now and correcting based on sensory input.

The book "An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us" by Ed Yong [0] is really great for understanding how sensory input informs but isn't the same as a mental model of the world built into the operations of a living thing.

Likewise ADAS and similar systems do not operate simply on what is sensed at any particular moment. Even ahead of things like being blinded by a sunset, there are occlusions when one object moves behind another and cannot be directly detected but can be inferred by an object model that predicts future positions given the the earlier known velocity and acceleration.

I can get behind that. I don't like moralizing either.

There's still lots of practical reasons to want and recommend treatment-free beekeeping practices:

- it's easier on the beekeeper
- less labor
- not working with dangerous chemicals
- it's cheaper (no need to buy said
dangerous chemicals)
- less time doing things to the bees
that the bees don't appreciate ==
fewer stings
- it's easier on the bees (no pesticides)
- it breeds stronger bees and weaker mites

It might be easier on the environment too (not so strong mites might not affect native pollinators much), or maybe not (stronger honeybees might really out-compete native pollinators).

Plus if the loss rates w/ and w/o treatment are similar, why bother treating?

Similarly there are moral and practical reasons to switch from Langstroth to top-bar hives:

- moral: kill fewer bees
- practical: get stung less,
no need for gloves
nor full suits, only veils

If a beekeeper lacks empathy for the bees, they might still have empathy for themselves!
The proposition relies on the notion some sort of muscle development is an actual problem.

Some weeks ago I wrote down some ideas that "feel" like this after watching Feynman https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/fml.html#5, but before I read this (or maybe I did read this, and it's all just latent thought, who knows). What the hell, I'll share them here-

* Life "obviously" evolves where heat/energy is isolated into packets at some (many) levels
* What is the F's 3 gear problem with respect to life?
* The origin of life as a heat-management problem, with time-reversibility, sensu the video.
* Life evolves in some time-reversible (mostly isolated) system that allows energy back and forth, a "DNA molecule" separating, and joing back, and separating, and joining back (until there is a little moment of chaos, and it doesn't separate, or come back, because the process is interrupted), at this point systems that can manage heat, i.e. shunt energy packets away, can prevent "mutations", at just the right time, so that they continue to go back and forth, separate the DNA, bring it back (time reversable).
* "Shunting energy away" -> moving chaos to another place
* Life is irreversible, therefor it must be a "machine" that shunts energy away
* In as much as the collective Earth/Gaia "learns" to shunt energy away, then it will become collectively "alive"
* We are at the point where we need to shunt Energy away, therefor the Earth is "Alive"
* The earth / heat - at some point the finned shaft sensu F has to break through to space, to let the heat "out"
* Why are trees? Yes this is a complete sentence. I.e. if there is some "fractalness"/"modularity" to earth, then this heat managing problem should repeat at many different levels. What are the "cold" counterparts to trees? If the gear is a tree, then what is the "fin"? How does the tree gear energy move back to the fin?

Dose-Response Relationship: Resistance Training to Failure, Strength and Muscle
"fueled by climate change" is just plain incorrect.

Fueled by dry trees and brush due to drought with fires started by lightning strikes is a little closer to the literal truth.

An average temperature rise of 1.5C over the last 50 or 100 years is climate change.

A regional drought lasting 5 or 10 years is...a drought.
> For an organization to be ITAR compliant, it has to ensure that access to materials that are on the USML list are only available to those eligible. Those eligible are verified through a clearance process that confirms their legal status in the US and collects sufficient evidence to demonstrate their allegiance to the US.

Can you cite this requirement? I've never heard of it and cannot find statutory support for it anywhere. The ITAR requirements seem to just differentiate between US persons and foreign persons, and require preclearance (by the DOD) if you want to provide munitions information to foreign persons. They provide no restriction on transfer to US persons.

In other words, under the law US-personhood is sufficient condition to gain access to ITAR materials. Businesses may require additional justifications (e.g. the janitor doesn't have a reason to access ITAR data), but that's beyond the legal requirements, and those cannot trump equal protection issues.
You know, people keep repeating this claim. And then you ask "now give me an example of a bureaucrat being punished by a judge, either by jail time or fine or damages" (they're, after all, mostly personally liable)

And somehow, very, very, very few such examples are available.

The reverse, however, for example Police officers getting away with sometimes literally murder, or using surveillance powers on ex-girlfriends, or beating up people without justification, or ... But equally less serious offences like government workers threatening people coming in going unpunished. That you hear all the time.
>Why not both?

Because money. Owning a wide variety of premium HW, especially Apple, is a rare privileged wealthy western position. Most people on the planet own something in the ballpark of a ~$200 Lenovo/Acer as their main machine, so telling them to just buy an Apple and a 13th gen homelab, is like telling them "let them eat cake", especially that due to taxes and tariffs, HW in other countries often costs way more than in the US, despite much MUCH lower wages.
Thank you for explaining more. Positive Psychology as a field is very wide, with different schools of thought within it; the most important aspect to us being that we focus on the Strength-Based vs. Disability Model of Neurodiversity.

For my money this fold-out tiny house on steroids with a base price of $85k is way more cost effective than self-building a house from free plans.

Putin on Prigozhin: Says Wagner Leader Made ‘Serious Mistakes’ in Life
Something like Drools ought to have a relatively small core and then additional systems built on top of it.

Drools even has some projects like OptaPlanner and jBPM that are in different source code repositories.

The core in Drools really is dramatically more complex than the core of Clara and some of that really is the higher level of functionality (Drools supports both hash-based and ordered indexes for data because you need that for complex event processing, Clara has only hash indexes) but a lot of it is that the syntax of Drools is much more complex because it mixes Java expressions and statements with the rules languages thus it needs a real parser.

I was working on a project with Drools and had extreme difficulty because Drools error messages didn't make a lot of sense to me so I did a lot of looking at the Drools source code, running the compiler in the debugger and such and still didn't get very far. I switched over to the Jena Rules engine

https://jena.apache.org/documentation/inference/

which still emits lousy error messages but I quickly was able to understand everything about the Jena Rules Engine, get really good at writing extensions, and use it for things the developers said were unsupported such as using it as the control plane of a data processing engine that bridged stream and batch processing: I'd use Jena rules to control the process of setting up and tearing down reactive streams that would do a data processing job. That is, I got good at the Jena Rules Engine that I kept discovering new things I could do with it.

Clara is very similar to the legendary CLIPS rule engine from the golden age of ai

https://www.clipsrules.net/

and if you find Clara is too small to understand, CLIPS is even smaller. The massive reduction in code size comes from being able to lean on the affordances of LISP to develop a DSL for writing rules, if you have to write a parser and all the stuff that comes with defining an external DSL rules language your code starts to get much more complex.

Jena Rules Engine is written in Java and I think it is very nice code and you'll learn a lot about RETE engines and other advanced programming concepts by studying it, you might even get more out of it than you get out of Clara. It was common at the tail end of the golden age of A.I. for people to write a first draft of a system in Common Lisp and then end up re-writing in it C++ for performance. Many of the ideas you get out of Lisp programming apply just well to other programming languages but require a huge amount of elbow grease and in-depth understanding of compiler technology whereas you can frequently use macros and similar affordances in Lisp to implement very sophisticated ideas with postage stamp size coded (that granted many people find challenging to understand.)

I don't think Blizzard profited from either of those. As far as I'm aware, their only paid WoW product at the time was monthly subscriptions to the game -- there was no officially supported way for players to buy in-game currency, and players paid Blizzard the same amount regardless of how much time they spent in game.
This is an incredibly rude way to give feedback.
