> Again, that's not what research shows. Type checking bugs are most definitely not the most common ones

It's likely not the most common bug family to reach production or to be published on github so it will be visible to researchers doing their studies (survivorship bias…), but they are definitely the most common bug I'm facing when using an untyped language, and the majority of developers shares this sentiment.

Of course you'd argue that personal feeling isn't science, but studies falling to survivorship bias aren't good science either…

I am not sure why the backlash. I am in favour of godot, but i dont see an issue with unreal wanting to monetise that segment. It’s far from what unity did, and tim is certainly not a mediocre ceo. I think unreal should also consider a “lighter” engine version, thats less demanding in resources, to carve out some of unity’s market share in the mobile segment.

> For example, if I have a field which is "color" and one person writes red and the other writes blue, there is no way to automatically resolve that conflict when they both become reconnected. It's physically impossible since the intent cannot be established without the ability to read the minds of both participants. You can't just merge the letters into the word "reblued" nor can you allow one to completely overwrite the other while letting both participants believe that their change was settled when in fact, only one made it through.

This, for me, is the crux of the issue that I can not understand - a general CRDT library simply cannot work, as the changes are in context of what is being edited.

IOW, I cannot think of a situation where conflicts can be resolved automatically. I think it might be best for the application (which does have context) to display the conflicted state (like the way git does), marking it as a conflict and requiring manual intervention to resolve.

In this example, perhaps the application can display the field? If the field is displayed as text, then display "Conflict: {[joe:~blue~][bob:~red~]}". If the field is being displayed as a colored element in an image, the conflict must be displayed with (for example) an overlay on the conflicted part as a red-outlined box, with the snippet of both changes to the image displayed on mouse-over, or on click (or similar).

It makes no sense, to me, to approach CRDTs as a general mechanism - it'll be a CRDT for text, a different mechanism for rasterised images, another one for vector graphics, another for video, for sound, etc.

These are all “kept secret” too. Testing on monkeys is much, much larger than Neuralink and one can imagine there are even more gruesome stories coming from infectious disease and toxicity studies.

If you have a heat source with a temperature of 2500C, then the theoretical maximum efficiency of conversion is around 89% assuming you have a heat sink available that can stay below 30C. (1.0 - (30+273)/(2500+273) = 0.89). All heat engines will be worse than this because of practicalities, but a real steam turbine system can be around 47% efficient and a combined cycle can be 60% efficient, using a cooler "hot" end than 2500C.

no, only in cases where you're ensuring research that benefits the public, and also ensuring that things that are legal can proceed without risk of violence. If the photos were to lead only to petition signing, that would be a different matter.

now, you can be cynical about things "the authorities say", and you can be worked up about monkeys and feel that their lives are equal to human lives; but just going on what the words mean, I don't think your interpretation is correct.

> Why does a child need so much less data for “training” to reach “adult brain”?

If we count all sensory input for years I do not think a child needs less data, but more.

If, in addition, we consider that the child gets new data (decides new interactions) based on past data, there is an optimization in the child that the LLM lacks: the LLM cannot just decide to get some new data based on the data it just saw. It is stuck with the data fed to it for training.

> And telling your children the coral reefs will be okay creates more of such people.

You and the article author are behind the curve. The coral reefs are fine and the idea of climate coral destruction has been debunked in the past few years. The Great Barrier Reef is currently at record highs for example, after a bleaching event in 2019 that coral "experts" said would wreck the GBR for at least a decade. By 2022 they had to walk that back completely as the reef rebounded far faster than they had ever imagined and reached never before seen growth.

Clearly, their understanding of corals is not good enough to make these sorts of predictions. There's also just a really basic problem with the coral/climate story: corals respond to fast local changes in temperature but CO2 is meant to create slow global changes in temperature.

But it's understandable you don't know this because almost nobody does. A survey done this summer showed that only 3% of Australians were aware that the GBR had reached record levels of coral. The majority still think the GBR is dying. This is for the same reason as covered in the article: academics like to tell stories that will cause people to behave in the right way, as they see it. Sometimes this means downplaying what they think, other times it means exaggerating it or not reporting good news.

Three-quarters of sampled Australian green voters believe the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is doing worse than usual, with 44% stating the coral is at a record low. Overall only 3% of all Australian voters knew that the coral was at a “record high” – the correct answer following two years of record growth that has broken all previous records.

The “phenomenal health” of the GBR is said to be virtually unknown, yet the public are paying half a billion dollars in taxes to save it. In addition the country is “being misled into thinking that expensive low carbon policies and Net Zero targets will help protect the reef, when there is no correlation between CO2 levels and coral cover”.

The parts aren't fake nor will they just fail. They are likely the same exact part, just without markup for having some documentation attached to them.

Far more animals are sacrificed for much more mundane science than what neuralink is trying to achieve, which could enormously improve quality of life for a lot of people.
You can easily accurately lay out a large square without knowledge of Pythagorean Theorem.

1. lay out a straight line 2x in length.

2. find midpoint (easy by drawing an arc with a string from each end point. Basic compass & ruler technique.

3. draw another arc from the midpoint, of radius 1x. Try different spots on the arc until it is equidistant from each of the endpoints of the line.

4. voila! an accurate right angle. Laying out the rest of the square is now trivial.

And what if the outcome is that nothing is achieved or learned. Or that they learned less than they would have with less sloppy practices. Or that their sloppier than average practices on animals translate to sloppier than average practices on humans and result in needlessly killing humans during testing trials and still achieving nothing.

Part of the reason we expect thorough and careful processes on animals is because it is practice. If you screw up during practice what hope do you have during the real thing. Careful animals trials increase the speed of developing medical interventions safe enough for human use. They are not just boneheaded red tape meant to slow down “radical thinkers”.

That is not to say that the current processes and methodologies are perfect, there is almost certainly unnecessary bureaucracy, but the right standard, the one that maximizes the rate of progress, is much closer to what we have than what the “move fast and break things” crowd wants.
