"Study hard and keep the rewards" is basically a dead concept.

The separation between state and corporation is a red herring. It's trivially easy for Bill Gates to reveal secrets to Bill Clinton behind closed doors.

Corporations are absolutely abmysal at keeping secrets. They are open-by-default and cannot legally stay in business with the level of security required to keep knowledge from leaking.

Lossless text compression is basically something like arithmetic coding[1] on top of probability. In fact the loss metric that LLM directly optimize for is bits required for lossless compression. Loss plotted in papers is generally nits/token.

The only reason why LLM are not in the leaderboard because it is not a task for compressing human knowledge. It's a task for compressing wikipedia which is tiny in comparison, and the model size plays a big role.

Here are some tips to get into consulting and freelancing:

1. Build a portfolio of work. Showcase some projects you have completed to demonstrate your skills and experience. This will help clients see what you are capable of.

2. Identify your niche and specialize in a particular skill set or industry. This will make you seem like more of an expert and attract the right clients.

3. Create an online presence. Build a website, set up profiles on freelance platforms, and join relevant communities. This will make you easier for clients to find.

4. Market yourself. Reach out to potential clients, post on social media and online forums, and write blogs related to your area of expertise. Spread the word that you are available for hire.

5. Set up contracts and payment terms. Have a contract ready that outlines the scope of work, timelines, deliverables, and payment terms. Get an advance payment upfront if possible.

6. Deliver high-quality work. Exceed client expectations to gain positive reviews and referrals. Provide great customer service and communication.

7. Keep learning and improving. Stay up to date on the latest trends in your field. Invest in tools, courses and certifications to keep advancing your skills.

Hope this helps!
My post above included a gas car (the Sienna) which is backordered for years in my country (Canada). There is obviously some kind of breakdown in the way their company is run; how else can you leave that many customers waiting for that period of time? The pandemic is not an excuse anymore.

I have no confidence they will successfully produce an EV with the classic Toyota reliability because of the software piece.

It's completely wrong to call them the tortise, they are the hare. They took their nap, and now have a very different field to race on; one in which Hyundai is suddenly a strong competitor with years of practical experience - without domestic politics restricting them to daydreaming about Hydrogen.

I hope they surprise me, because I still love my 2016 Sienna.

On a related note, before I bought my Model 3, I went for a test drive at the Subaru dealership. The dealer specifically told me that, if I really wanted an electric car, I should go with Tesla because "Toyota will never get an equivalent charging network going here".

You reference the Zero-point energy article on wikipedia. What is interesting is the following quote from the very first paragraph of that article

> if it is to be Lorentz invariant such that there is no contradiction with Einstein's theory of special relativity

Here we see that the article references Special Relativity which is actually at odds with General Relativity.

We can then say one of the following things:

1) Special Relativity and General Relativity are only approximations to reality and you have to be very careful when and where you apply each theory.

2) Special Relativity and General Relativity are both wrong

3) Special Relativity is correct and General Relativity is wrong

4) General Relativity is correct and Special Relativity is wrong

What you cannot do is say that both are correct theories as the fundamental basis of each in regards to space/time are quite different.

This leads to an incongruity if you think both are correct.

Now back to Zero-point energy. The problem here is that you have to be able to measure this effect and not just have it arise from theory in a manner that cannot be measured.

This comes back to the place of determining whether or not "dark energy" is or can be the basis of "perpetual motion machines". Since I don't believe that such an entity actually exists, I also don't think that we have any possibility of any sort of perpetual motion per se.

There are many incongruities in our modern suite of theories. It is just that many people (especially professional scientists) turn a blind eye to those incongruities. These incongruities are a sign that our theories are very much incomplete and possibly very wrong.

From the perspective of looking at the history of scientific investigation, I think we are back to a time similar to when the epicycle models were used to describe what was being seen (an example of Fourier series) and we are now ready for a new Copernican revolution. The dogma in science education is reminiscent of those times.

I would guess though that such arguably corrupt structures always emit from the leadership. The way to have a moral company is by having moral leadership. The issue is that there is no incentive for a company to have moral leadership (or not for that matter). It just gets the leadership it gets. If the leadership is into cutting corners, this will radiate out in the form of the mechanisms you mention, where in lower levels people WILL do immoral things not because they're greedy, but because of the compan structures put in place by the people who are.

Ultimately thoug I believe the market corrects for it. We're seeing that right now with Unity. It just takes a lot of time for a bit company like this.

On reading this article, I realised that maybe the most noticeable change that experience brings to a developer is... laziness?

When I was 24, I was pretty much exactly this person. "Building a spreadsheet engine that runs in a browser. Sounds like so much fun!" And then I'd slog away at it for a month and get something working.

Now though, with age, I know I can't chug away coffee working late into the night. My back hurts when I have to sit too long. My wrists aren't being too kind to me these days either.

Now if someone asked me to build Excel I'd first laugh in their face. And if I don't see them smiling, I'd ask if they can afford any of these A,B,C...Z COTS products that are doing this that we can just buy. And if none of those work out, I'd look for how I can take something like ethercalc and repurpose it for our use case.

Looks like the older I get, rather than writing code, I seem to be getting more adept at how not to write it.

Our immune system is dysfunctioning because of something (not natural occurrence)

What is that something?
- vaccines
- toxins, pesticides?
- lack of vitamin D, infrared?
Something else?

Our modern medicine (pharma companies) are succeeding at making us chronically sick as that is what is more lucrative, it’s literally the matrix, we are serving the machine, not the other way around.

Whatever is causing immune problems is at the same time creating a lot of shareholder value.

You're just being brainwashed by BEV propaganda. It is not a sustainable solution and does not work for the majority of car buyers. There will come a day when we will laugh at your decision in the same way we laugh at the diesel car. Ethanol/flexfuel cars in the US too. Eventually, everyone will be forced to scale back or outright abandon BEVs, and adopt the next wave of technology such as FCEVs or some other type of hydrogen car.

Sigh, it's bad enough listening to lawyers play at this game of rigor/formality/objectivity, so it's even more tiresome to listen to others make their excuses/apologies for them. Lawyers and judges ARE politicians, not some scholars or scientists, and our courts do a bunch of batshit arbitrary stuff every day. Appealing to facts and "words mean things" and defending the profession as even meaningfully skilled, much less noble, seems silly these days when you take a look at most stuff in the real world. Roe v Wade comes to mind here- there's no esoteric and learned moral calculus going on, and we see that precedent matters only up until it does not. Judges invent the rules and ignore them when convenient. At least the other opinion engineers and spin doctors in society aren't as hypocritical about it. The outcome of this case is probably already decided, and the rest is theater..

I was trying to figure out which online casino was running a voice ad, on podcasts, beginning with the phrase "Where was the last place you got lucky?" It turns out that putting that phrase in quotes in Google yields zero results, with filtering off. At least from where I am.

This seems utterly impossible. Not least because Google almost never respects quotes around other phrases, and offers its own interpretation against the user's wishes if it can't find the exact phrase somewhere.

Fallacious thinking is in fact an intrinsic human trait, but to equate fallacious thinking with fairness is a little creepy.

I’d also note while we are on the topic of anti-China, and you’ve lobbed anti Chinese out there - I’ll wager almost (almost!) everyone here, myself especially, isn’t anti anything about China or Chinese people. But that doesn’t mean we are pro the communist party’s policies - and frankly so are very few Chinese. The fact that forced tech transfer and industrial espionage is embarrassing to the Chinese government and sullies all success is no one’s fault but the Chinese governments, and that’s where it begins and ends.

I’m no defender of the US government either, but that’s not even the topic here. I’ll be happy to engage on that topic in the relevant threads. That’s, after all, fair.

In most of South America, the coca leaf is completely legal while cocaine is “illegal”. I put that in air quotes because of the following quote: “Nothing is illegal in South America”. I think John McAfee is the one attributed to that quote but I’m not sure. Anyhow, coco leaf products are routinely sold in packaged goods and candies. If you are ever going hike up tall mountains there, you’re advised by all official sources and websites to carry some with you to avoid altitude sickness.

A simplistic philosophical understanding:

1) Different routes of administration cause widely different effects on the body.

2) Nearly all medications are taken orally.

3) Coca leaves can only be chewed and consumed orally.

4) Virtually no medications are approved for snorting or smoking.

5) Cocaine and Crack Cocaine are typically only snorted or smoked.

6) Conclusion: Coca Leaves are approved in part due to a differing route of administration. Analogous to how sugar is bad to snort or smoke but was approved for edible consumption.

Willful misreading of a comment is extremely impolite on this site.

I said that this wasn’t a “not available at any price” situation, it’s a matter of figuring out a cost that works.

Google (and other phone vendors) want to pay zero ($0), and the law currently allows them to externalize this cost onto their customers and society at large (e-waste going into landfills, unpatched OSs promoting malware, etc) instead. And they do.

I never believed that rumor. Coders can go through hyper productive phases where they are making something that never existed before -- such as server side routers in JavaScript.

> under threat of lethal violence

I can see how it can be called a coup because of the protesters' violence and arguing that difference is pretty pedantic so I have no problem with that.

The main point I was making was in response to you confidently claiming Nuland orchestrated the coup. I don't think the call shows evidence of that. They only talk about coordinating their support for a candidate.

> If Lavrov were caught saying things like "Trump should be President over Desantis. Let's keep Desantis out of government for now. Also let's be discreet about this. Putin is on board." and then all of that actually happened, like Desantis dropped out and endorsed Trump, what do you think the American reaction would be?

If DeSantis dropped out because of Putin, it would be Russian influence again but on another level. Going to war level. DeSantis and Trump would be traitors and Russian co-conspirators, but I'm not sure if it would be a coup. Although I'm sure some would say that, the fact he was voted in would remain.

There is something to be said for manipulating the electoral process to a degree where it can't be called democratic, such as the situation in Russia at the moment where Putin's potential electoral opponents are jailed, killed, scared off, or oppressed to the point there is no other viable candidate to choose. So yes, I'd say there is a point where manipulating the democratic process prevents it from being fair and is unlawful and it could be considered a coup in that scenario, but I don't think the US meets that threshold here. Would you call every other leader selection process where the US has given their support for a candidate a coup? I agree it is wrong and shouldn't be done, but do you really think it qualifies as a coup?

The US caused a coup in Panama when it bombed their infrastructure, invaded, and took their leader under arrest. The US caused a coup in Iraq when it invaded. The US caused a coup in Iran when it staged riots, paid off journalists, and paid off generals resulting in a change of leadership. There are many more examples of this, but all that was shown here was Nuland coordinated US support for a candidate. That's not enough.

You said the US orchestrated the coup so confidently and absolutely as if it was another one of these scenarios. It was a call for coordinating and exercising the US' influence on Ukraine. Not a coup though.

> We can debate semantics over the preferred definition of coup, but the bottom line is there was extraordinarily blatant foreign interference in Ukraine's democratic process, and the US government clearly played a central role and achieved their goals.

Unfortunately semantics is where we have gone. The call does not show the US orchestrated any coup. That's a significant mischaracterization. Influenced? Yes. Interfered with? By talking to their politicians, probably. Orchestrated the overthrow of their government? No.

I could definitely see the US actually being behind the coup though. They've shamelessly done it countless times throughout history. It's just nothing out there so far is evidence of it.
You were over the line when you called them a sociopath, and I should've called you on it but didn't, but now you are way, way over the line.

To quote you, in what world is this an appropriate comment?
That is sort of the definition of the informal red herring fallacy whataboutism. It doesn’t mean the US hasn’t. It means it’s not related to China being wrong to use military power to bully countries. An awful lot of folks here agree it’s wrong for anyone to bully anyone in any context, especially nations bullying the people of another country. We are all, after all, people. But people citing a fallacy when a fallacy is used is fully appropriate, even if you really wish it wasn’t a fallacy.
In addition to other objections, there's the people who think that EVs don't hit every use case yet, and they use a lot of rare earth metals, etc... and that you can get 90% of the benefit with a PHEV (and build/sell a lot more PHEVs with current resources).

IMO, we're going to need a lot of different approaches to solve climate. EVs, PHEVs, reduction of use of single-occupant vehicles, more transit, more biking, more e-bikes, blah blah blah.

I have also wondered if OpenAI are going to train a private model with all the ChatGPT history, and then use that to train a public model.

In the beginning of the 2010's I was at a train station with my laptop and a dude walks up to me holding a USB stick. (Or was it an SD card?) Asks me if he can send an email or something. I remember him opening his storage device on my computer and he had some sketchy looking files. Was there a trojan on his USB stick? If there was, had he put them there intentionally? Is this how he scammed people? By approaching them at train stations with some device and an excuse to plug it in? Or was he just an unknowing carrier of the malicious files, a victim to his own habit of plugging his device into random strangers computers?

Perhaps there was nothing there and I was mistaken?

I never found out. But I also haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary with any of my accounts since then. So even if something was up, I think it was not successful.

Your story reminded me of this experience. And also of autorun.inf files on CD-ROMs that would make Windows 95 and later run things. I think at some point in WinXP they disabled auto run of CDs and you had to explicitly choose to run programs that autorun.inf wanted to run.
