We need to pull up both elements simultaneously and correlate them, it doesn't happen automatically because we learned that "a type of antigen can make a host immune to HIV".

Yes, ideally the former will associate well enough with the latter that, once you find some reason to think about mRNA, it will automatically drag up the thing you learned earlier and then you'll update. But it doesn't happen by itself, and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Most people contain significant inconsistencies -- I would dare to suggest most likely everyone.
In all sincerity: so what? And I have a few reasons for that reaction, only one of which is empty whataboutism (so I’ll get that one out of the way first).

1. Do the citizens of this he democratic west imagine that our adversaries don’t engage in propaganda? Please, get real. Not saying two wrongs make a right, but unilateral disarmament in the battle for hearts and minds doesn’t seem particularly prudent either.

2. This particular article is scattershot to the point of being incoherent. Also, it’s funny when it criticizes “Clear and Present Danger” for not being true to reality … when … it’s a move based … on a novel. Uhhhh.

3. The article talks about the movies that have resisted military influence and assumes they are better for it, but what about the stories that were improved by military influence? For a variety of obvious reasons, war and the battlefield is pretty fertile ground for human storytelling. It’s natural that these stories get told. It isn’t inevitably and automatically a bad thing if the military has an influence on how these stories are told.
If you're seriously interested in this topic, it's worth taking a look at Jen Pahlka's book Recoding America. https://www.worldcat.org/title/Recoding-America-:-why-govern...

Ms. Pahlka crawls through some large-system horror stories, and some success stories. The horror stories share something in common: design documentation that outlives its usefulness, takes on a life of its own, and drives implementation decisions in harmful directions.

Brandow's article (the subject of this thread) emphasizes the usefulness of documentation. And it's certain that long-lived software systems (like his php example) need excellent documentation. That documentation is targeted at people like many of us. It answers questions like, "how do I use that blankety-blank IMAP module?".

But long-lived documentation is often misunderstood and misused. For an overstated example, some "non-technical" administrator might read the php docs and somehow infer that "systems developed in php MUST use the IMAP module, or it won't pass acceptance testing." Then, the developers -- employees of some contract development team -- will comply. They'll have to figure out some way to incorporate email store-and-forward systems into the product, even if it makes no sense to do that.

There's a danger inherent in extensive documentation: it WILL be misunderstood in the future, and those misunderstandings may turn out to be costly. More systematic documentation -- for example boilerplate "scope" sections at the beginning of docs -- are not a great way to mitigate that danger.

Seriously, go read Pahlka's book.
>and most people like a screen for at least GPS

personal anecdotes, but the vast majority of me being a passenger to someone else's driving, they all used their mobile device for GPS. even the couple of cars i owned that had a nav system, the GPS came from the mobile device. it required their app to be installed to input the destination, making the internal unit just a second screen for your mobile.
It's also important to note that the copyright-ability of these models is controversial, and has not been tested in court.

Anyway, this clause is particularly bad:

> You should monitor the web address at which the Acceptable Use Policy is hosted to ensure that your use of the Work or any Derivative Work complies with the updated Acceptable Use Policy.

So, I guess they can just change the AUP and then you have to discontinue use of previously generated stuff. I wonder if that's enforceable in court.

Imagine if the Word EULA contained a clause like this, and then later Microsoft used the clause to force a publisher to destroy all copies of a book they didn't like.
Not really, I have similar or actually probably same sets (and same 'topics' to think about with various bridges and tunnels, track splits etc). I also have these straight or curved stuff in light and darker gray. Cheap non-original stuff is easy to spot - it simply doesn't fit nor hold as well. It doesn't matter whether its bricks or different stuff.

Due to economy of scales, Lego can manufacture those at consistently high quality and relatively reasonable prices. Competition aiming for same quality would be at least similarly priced. Also, its incredibly sturdy. So far I haven't seen a single one crack or break in past 2 years. My kids are not psychos but they for sure have no idea yet about treating their toys with care.

What personally helped me a lot is listening to Robert Sapolsky's lectures[0,1]. The reason I really like them is because they decompose depression into different causes. He breaks it down into: Anhedonia, Grief, Guilt, Self-injury, and Psychomotor retardation. For example, if you are exhibiting anhedonia and psychomotor retardation then the SSRIs probably aren't going to work for you. But at the same time, if you have self-injury and psychomotor retardation giving you energy may actually kill you (you now have the will to act).

I think mental illnesses are very personal. It is still good to do studies like these, but they are also too aggregated. We put autism on a spectrum, I don't understand why we don't do for other things like depression. The most I see is anxiety/depression, like this. There's far more nuance involved and it isn't surprising that in these experiments that there are high variances. I'm not saying the studies aren't useful, but that these have been done for decades and it's time to add complexity to the studies. Nuance is necessary, but few people are taught to perform multi-variate analysis. It is always rather surprising given how many statistical "paradoxes" are due to aggregation errors.

"I'd prefer not to risk transitioning to a universal system that might provide worse care than what I've always had."

Your insurance is employer provided? You risk that every day then. Lots of people in the past few years have woken up to find out that their job - and with it their employer provided insurance - has gone bye-bye.

Yeah, we have COBRA to continue it at exorbitant rates for some period of time. But health care should not be tied to employment.

I'd be OK with a universal health care system where employers can offer better but everybody has a baseline health care where nobody - absolutely nobody - has to struggle to get basic healthcare. (And that includes dental and vision, which is absolutely boggling that we've decided "oh, those body parts are not included.")
I'm with you 100%, but reality is strongly not in our favor.

In order to bring a new car brand to the market, it literally takes the resources of a narcissistic billionaire, and even those are much more like upper-middle class status symbols than affordable conveyance for everyone. The regulatory hill is a steep climb on its own and the incumbents have a literal 100-year head start on how to sell cars to normal people.

Even if we just look at the tech sector... where are the privacy-preserving cell phones? There are none, unless you are willing to do not much else on it other than phone calls, text messages, and very light web browsing.
Good! There are too many cool Raspberry Pi CM4 boards out there, but way too little CM4s to populate them.
Similar things have been said about the rise of FSP games. I’ve heard the military basically created FPS games for their combat simulators. They also pushed or gave money to developers to popularize FPS games.

Exercise is huge for my well being. I lift 3-4 hours a week and cycle 8-12. I didn't realize how stabilizing it was until I had a slipped disc put me out of commission for a couple months with almost a year of ramping exercise back up. I felt like absolute crap, couldn't control my eating and turned to food, staying up late playing video games and other things to fill my bucket. I really noticed the effects when I had kids. I think a lot of people stop exercising when they have kids because finding time is hard, and that is true. But I have so much more energy and patience with them by keeping going.

One other thing I wonder about, I get a lot of sunlight. I'm in Denver and can get outside almost year round. Vitamin D is always strong, as confirmed with labs.
i don't think anyone ever argued in favor of ceasing the usage of all greenhouse emitting fuel sources all at once. However we can't even agree to gradually phasing them out in a realistic timeline, see Kyoto Protocol

Did you visit some explicit site without VPN (or at least a private tab)? Bingo. The data brokers will correlate you. Once your data can be correlated, whatever they gather is thrown into the pool. I'll bet that there's some back-scratching going on somewhere. Hey we know all about where John is at when he's driving, and we'll sell/give you that data and in exchange we'd like to buy/trade some ads on those other sites-of-interest he/she goes to.
Coming back to this. LORA training is only on the attention layer, and this was sufficient for memorization , per the article. So we wouldn't update all the model's weights in some kind of constant context one-shot learning scheme.

You need Russia to pay money to tell you the obvious things everyone already knew? Sounds like a pretty bad use of their money. Feels like meddling in the elections would yield a better ROI.
> I'm pointing out that things are worse than the quote claims

I believe you misunderstood the quote. "Would only get worse" is a set phrase that means getting worse is inevitable. The "only" means that no other outcome is possible. It's sort of an intensified version of "would get worse" in that it's more definite.

So "it would only get worse if the world continues to burn planet-heating fossil fuels" means that if we continue burning these fuels, there is no chance we will avoid the consequences. It does not mean that the only way to have the problem is to keep burning fossil fuels.
I wonder if "Contagion" was propaganda. It really made me believe that if a SARS pandemic ever happened, a bunch of incredibly competent scientists and government agents would swoop in and save us all.

The "Olympus Has Fallen" series also made me believe that if a mob ever stepped foot on the White House lawn, a bunch of auto turrets would pop up and gun them all down.

The last few years has shown that the world is run by a bunch of jokers, no different than me. That's comforting in some ways, horrifying in others, and sadly has ruined the illusion of some of my favorite movies.
Not true. Delivery doesn't necessarily mean Release. Before the "Continuous Delivery" mantra took flight, Scrum et al came with Delivery Plans and, crucially as a separate artefact, a Release plan. This was specifically to address the nuanced distinction between a bunch of stuff being "done" and "releasable."

Now it seems everyone is unable to distinguish between Continuous Delivery and agility.
Modern city lifestyle doesn't have much physical activity. This could be the reason why we see increased depression and anxiety. This could also be the reason why people in third world countries don't have this level of depression and anxiety in their society. They have much higher level of physical activity and movement throughout the day.
"It's not a kill switch, it slows the vehicle to a stop instead of being instant." I fail to see the practical difference. I don't want my car incorrectly deciding I am impaired and "coasting to a gentle stop" on the way to a hospital during a medical emergency or something.

Serious question: is it even under actual "tension" at all?

Don't the track pieces fit together loosely?

And aren't most Lego/Duplo pieces made of such hard and rigid plastic that they don't effectively bend at all?

So while it's still an interesting math problem about angles and lengths, I'm not sure the premise of "tension" is correct here.
I guess we can now look forward to a new wave of scams promising to break the laws of thermodynamics to get free energy from water.

Processed food exist on a spectrum: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Spectrum-of-processing-o...

Anglo countries tend to be more biased towards wheat as a staple versus rice in the east. Whereas rice can be consumed in a minimally processed state, it's rare to see anyone consume wheat berries; it's almost always processed by striping the germ, grinding, bleaching, and then subsequent enriching. Pastas, pizzas, breads, burger buns, tortillas, flat breads -- all would be considered more on the processed end of the spectrum.

Likewise with cheeses and preserved meats; while still present historically in Asia, it is certainly not consumed at the same volume as in Anglo countries. Likely this has a basis in climate where techniques for processing and preserving food in the northern hemisphere is critical for civilization due to the shorter growing season and more extreme winters whereas the population dense parts of Asia tend to be in warmer climates that support year-round agriculture. (Preservation techniques also tend to differ as we examine cultures going northwards from the equator).

Perhaps the more apropos distinction is "wheat staple culture" versus "rice staple culture" (but that roughly aligns with the Anglo West and Asian East)

In theory, yes, it's sensible to fund the infrastructure. However, I think the priority should go towards safety issues first. Hell, they would issue so many tickets, I bet at first it would far outweigh the revenue from express lane tolls. Not everyone is using express lanes, but basically everyone is speeding, and speeding tickets cost more than the express lanes do. Once you hit long tail status, then move to express lane tolling.
Because CMOs typically don't formally write to business partners, "I'd like to confirm in writing that we'd spend lots of money with you but the ADL is bullying us"? I mean, sure, it's possible that these conversations were in written form even if unlikely, but then what's Musk supposed to do, put private emails from potential customers out in the open? And why would the ADL itself put this stuff in writing?

If he gets discovery against the ADL then he can see how widespread it is using things like internal documents too, and build the case directly with that, instead of having to go via whatever scraps other businesses will give him.

A surprising number (56%) also say they can share your information with the government or law enforcement in response to a “request.” Not a high bar court order, but something as easy as an “informal request.” Yikes -- that’s a very low bar!

Nissan earned its second-to-last spot for collecting some of the creepiest categories of data we have ever seen. It’s worth reading the review in full, but you should know it includes your “sexual activity.” Not to be out done, Kia also mentions they can collect information about your “sex life” in their privacy policy. Oh, and six car companies say they can collect your “genetic information” or “genetic characteristics.”

I also think this looks very nice. But I 100% agree, it's off-putting to ask for an account to view something that is clearly already filterable without personalization. It makes it difficult to browse and decide if I want an account. (Imagine if Reddit only let you view the front page without an account. I'd never have touched it!)
but here I was thinking it had something to do with "blacksmiths are loud" hence we should vanish them to the outskirts of the city cuz they're annoying to be nearby

War is probably not possible without propaganda.
Wars are strategic, but people generally won't participate in mass killing or property destruction without an (invented or exaggerated) ethical justification.

The most significant cause of global insecurity are myths like good, evil, ethicality and fairness between nations, etc.

My hope is that tracking resources and making them more abundant and distributing first-party true information uniformly might help. But I don't think there will be any "real" global security without a fully integrated political framework.

Selfishness, resource limitations, poorly distributed information about resources, dated technology, racism, and myths like I mentioned above are blockers for integration.

Maybe the crux of it is that war IS the way we do geopolitical integration. If that is the case, then one fantasy alternative might be for the leaders to fight it out instead of whole societies tearing each other apart instead.

I dont' want to victim blame here, but if your "ISP" uses cgnat it's not an ISP. It's a web service provider. You should probably get a real ISP.

That said, I have a real ISP, comcast, but comcast does MITM attacks on it's users so I have to tunnel everything through various VPS I rent. Which of course means I get hit with the same cloudflare blocks. And the invisible javascript ones just go in loops no matter how many times I complete the visible side. I just close cloudflare hidden sites' tabs' now. The problem is more and more of the web is hidden behind their computational paywall... even academic journals now.

These companies say they don't collect chat data but they also say they follow local laws and you see from above that they obviously, deliberately don't.

How did you find a 2024 model car on the used car market?
Exactly. I’d much more prefer to explore the opposite direction: figuring out how much you can hack the rules of the game. That fosters creativity while the other fosters bluntly following rules.
Car culture and city planning in the US doesn't help. Walk-able cities get people outdoors for a half-hour or more each day.
For a very long time now you have never needed a SIM to call emergency services. Maybe it's different in the EU but US car models that include telematics (ie Onstar) have been able to call emergency services without a subscription.

When it comes to privacy data handling, the term "collecting" is a very specific term that means they are directly collecting it from you, so, unless they use the term in a non standard way, that means they supposedly collect your genetic material and sexual preferences _from you_. Which, erk, but also, how?
Perhaps you could provide an example of a hard problem that was solved that wasn't done so through breaking a problem down into small pieces.

No academic paper ever written, invention ever created or piece of art I can think of or heard of (including general relativity, which was referenced earlier in thread), was solved by just sitting there and thinking about the big hard problem and solving the big hard problem in one go.

The closest I can think of what you're referring to is an accidental discovery, so I think that's where our lines are crossed.

At its core I still don't buy that LLMs are useless in the context of solving hard problems. You disagree. Time and experience will tell, but it seems more likely that successes will be attributed to them than not.
