That isn’t quite right.

UTC was originally (early 1960s) coordinated between the British and Americans. This was related to their existing collaborations in time and navigation. The definition of the atomic second was established in 1955-1958 by a collaboration between NPL (London) who had the first good atomic clock, and the USNO who were good at the astronometric work to establish the ephemeris second. The USNO and the Greenwich observatory also prepared the Astronomical Almanac together.

Later on, as other countries wanted to use the same atomic timescale, the BIH (bureau international de l’heure, based at the Paris observatory) took over. More recently, the BIH was split.

The part responsible for atomic time moved to the BIPM (bureau international des poids et mesures, in Sévres just outside Paris) who are responsible for the definition of the second, so it makes sense for them to be responsible for its realisation as well. They maintain atomic time based on contributions from many atomic clocks in many time labs around the world.

The astronomy parts of the BIH became the IERS (international earth rotation service), still based at the Paris Observatory. However, a significant part of their practical scientific work is carried out by the USNO. For instance IERS Bulletin A is sent out each week by the USNO. Earth orientation is needed for the GPS as well as for leap seconds.

This is the approach to take. Getting better at conversations, impromptu ones in a low risk environment is going to help. Go to meetups or the like and talk to others about hobbies you have an interest in. Maybe its board games, go to a board game shop and chat with people. There are clubs that do this - Toastmasters I believe is the name of one from some time ago, although I haven't heard them mentioned post-pandemic.

You misunderstand. I'm not advocating you shouldn't comment or document your code. Sure I can see you multiplied that gross weight by a factor of two, but why? That usually needs to be documented.

But the types provides for let's say code-level self-documentation.

I can look at a function definition and see it returns an IReadOnlyStream. Well if I'm familiar with IReadOnlyStream I already know what I can do with that. If not I can quickly find the declaration, and based on that I can get a good overview of what I can do. If not I have something explicit to search the documentation for.

With languages such as JavaScript I learn nothing by looking at the function definition, and almost always have to dig deeper. If it's an unfamiliar code-base, then often much, much deeper.
If you read that, the aircraft in question aren't fake. They just aren't assembled in Kamov's original factory. They somehow managed to get enough parts and enough assembly line knowledge (probably from reading the service manual) to assemble their own.

This has always been my conjecture. Hallucinating is more like an output that occurs despite the absence of an input.

Confabulating is more like you have 1 or more inputs (drugs, stress, self-interest,trying to save face, your attitude towards truth, etc) and they all go into a homomorphic black box where they interact and bump into each other.

And at the end of the process there is a sociological hash function that puts it all together and manifests it through actions andthe narrative(s) we tell ourselves + others.

The output/behavior/self-talk and reporting are the result of all this and they don't come from nowhere like a hallucination does (in the sense of there being an objective lack of external sensory input, not the neurological/etiological basis which clearly exists).

They have a basis upon which they fundamentally make sense and demonstrate reference to the world around based on how their actions and words are parsed and its not useful to describe LLMs or humans in this way (`hallucinating`) when they are almost always simply in a MonkeyClaw type situation. They have the input and this is a natural result of such input, like any computer does when you process anything else. It follows its instructions and the logic is always inherent to the context and inputs + limitations at play.

Confabulation also often involves "filling in the gaps" one does not have the knowledge or influence or abillity/desire to address so they throw something else that might stick if they luck into avoiding further scrutiny. Sometimes people are "just" lying to you but more often, they are trying to avoid further pain and avarice (maybe even try to gain something) and they simply tell everyone (including themselves) what they want to hear.

Kids are like this, hilarious confabulators. Not hallucinators.

All he did was iterate why large enterprises migrated toward the RDBMS.

A simple web service designed to address a single problem is not a "large enterprise". And applying an RDBMS to such problems is like using a hand grenade to kill a fly. It will work --- but there are better, more efficient and appropriate approaches.

In other words, not every problem needs to be generalized to encompass the global economy.

And this was a principled stance. HTTP/1 was for serving web pages, and web pages are documents.

The reason there is so much debate on Gen AI is due to the emergence of unpredicted abilities.

Yes GenAI is insanely impressive - this is not a luddite argument. I have personally spent months on it, and continue to do so. ITS AWESOME.

However it really isnt going to do a tenth of the things people expect it to. Those emergent properties seem like actual reasoning, planning, or analysis.

Get to production data though, then the emperor has no clothes. Those "emergent" skills end up showing you how much correlation in text is good enough - provided the person reviewing the text is already an expert.
Someone applying to jobs dozens of times per day for months (so over a thousand applications), without bothering to research where the job is, much less write a cover letter, strikes me as working harder, not smarter.

If they were to apply to fewer jobs, less frequently, and more personally, putting more effort into each, they might not need to be searching for months, or making so many applications where it's clear to the company that they don't care whether they get that job or 1 of hundreds of others.

Maybe think of it like phishing vs. spearphishing. Or sending "hi" as an opening line on a dating app, vs. tailoring it to the person. The latter gets a better response rate per interaction.

Just look at the chart at the top of the article. The world isn't cooling down, and one slightly cooler month isn't any evidence that the trend will reverse itself, it just demonstrates that the trend isn't monotonic.
Yes, because sometimes you switch between so many different projects that you forget the importance of them. You normalize yourself to the momentum of the work, and if it's barely more proficient than someone in the same field, it barely registers.

Not at all. I am more concerned having Facebook (or any other Zuck’s spyware) installed on that very computer. I cannot imagine how anyone would hack my very phone. Also I like to decentralise devices, so none of my devices is a super-device. My go-to phone (iPhone SE with no iOS update, but with security updates) has only a few apps installed that I need for being away from home. My other smartphone (Nexus 6P with no security updates) has loads of apps installed, but I use them only when I need it. The phone has its WiFi, Bluetooth and cellular turned off all of the time. I cannot imagine the way you hack into it, tbh. And even if that would happen, I cannot imagine what a hacker would get out of it, if anything at all.

I think what Haidt and Mounk are chasing is right in plain sight.

The desire not to be understood, to assert the impossibility of mutual
comprehension is experienced by every healthy teenager (and parent
thereof) in the process of separation (into adulthood).

It is not merely a rejection of "everything you stand for" but an
assertion of total separateness and inscrutability. To be "understood"
is to be colonised, categorised, placed on your Cartesian grid and
thus dominated and neutralised. The chosen identity is arbitrary, it is
simply not yours, and the demand is that the very apparatus of
perception, the frame within which mutual recognition can take place,
be reset. And yet, weirdly, it is not a genuine bid for isolation, but

26 months of work, including 461 files, 21,905 lines of code, and 171 tests, is now public at: https://github.com/SwitchbackTech/compass.

I started working on this project because I needed a better way to stay on top of my schedule and tasks. As a minimalist, I wanted it to be simple and smooth. I spent the next two years building the foundational features, like OAuth, sessions, Gcal sync, drag-and-drop, and recurring events.

I gave it a helluva shot, but I didn't finish making my dream calendar. But now that my code is public, maybe you can make yours.

> I dont see how this breaks security

You’re training users to ignore certificate errors – yes, even if you think you’re not – and you’re putting in a critical piece of infrastructure which is now able to view or forge traffic everywhere. Every vendor has a history of security vulnerabilities and you also need to put in robust administrative controls very few places are actually competent enough to implement, or now you have the risk that your security operators are one phish or act of malice away from damaging the company (better hope nobody in security is ever part of a harassment claim).

On the plus side, they’re only marginally effective at the sales points you mentioned. They’ll stop the sales guys from hitting sports betting sites, but attackers have been routinely bypassing these systems since the turn of the century so much of what you’re doing is taking on one of the most expensive challenges in the field to stop the least sophisticated attackers.

If you’re concerned about things like DLP, you should be focused on things like sandboxing and fine-grained access control long before doing SSL interception.

Part of the problem is that we have very vague notions of what "reasoning" actually means. If you mean simple deductive logic ... LLMs can often perform such operations today, albeit highly inconsistently. If you mean inductive reasoning and working through a problem through first principles, then they usually fail. The state of the art their are tricks to get the system to extract out the assumptions and base knowledge and then work deductively.

But every time we have an advance in machine learning, we seem to redefine intelligent activity to be beyond that. At a certain point, what is left?
> How useful are universal truths compared to getting shit done?

As I understand Greeks invented proofs because "universal thruths" they exported from Babylon and Egypt sometimes explicitly contradicted each other.

I believe such contradictions may be a great nuisance when you try to get shit done.

Egypt and Babylon were sufficiently "complex" societies for proofs, but their tradition treated mathematics as a bunch of useful facts about numbers and shapes. New generation just memorized them. We should think it worked for them in most cases, and when it didn't work it was not so often for them to start thinking a lot of reforming mathematics. Plus they were indoctrinated by the math they learned (authority of a teacher is above of anything else, i suppose) and to reform math was not a natural idea for them.
