It wasn't an error. It was a deliberate strategy, they still do it, they sometimes admit that they do it (without consequence) and it was more than just Fauci/CDC. A few other examples:

1. The recent Nobel Prize for the mRNA vaccines was awarded not on scientific merit but to encourage people to take the vaccines, and to reinforce the "safe and effective" message, according to a member of the Nobel committee. Yet the prize is presented as being for scientific achievement.

2. The population was told the plan for the first lockdown was for only two weeks. Off the record, health officials were briefing top executives of large local businesses to expect much longer lockdowns. Also, one of the senior public health officials in the Trump administration admitted in a book that she told Trump two weeks whilst knowing they were going to do it for much longer. The reason for the lie about the duration was because they thought people wouldn't accept it if they told the truth.

3. The virologists writing the Proximal Origin paper knew what they were writing probably wasn't true, but feared a "shitstorm", the impact on politics and the growth of "conspiracy theories" if they said they thought it came from a lab. So they deliberately misled the public.

Climatologists are the same way. In the ClimateGate emails there are parts where they agree to suppress contradictory evidence in order to avoid "diluting the message".

> Frankly, most people who publish in this field go out of their way to obfuscate the key insights. Mediocre physicists (but not the truly brilliant ones) do the same thing. It's very annoying.

I certainly sympathise, but I think the overlap here is "maths is hard to communicate", and the conflict between rigorously explaining vs. keeping everything simple enough to follow.

You could build a more secure version and mandate it’s the only one used for new devices / in all future SW updates for phones.

Over time it would supplant the old one and the vast majority of people would get the secure alert today.

During an emergency you’d send both but spoofs would only be able to hit old phones that don’t receive software updates / don’t support the secure variant.

Securing is also pretty simple since the government could just publish the public key they’ll use for signing these alerts and OS vendors could refresh that key on a regular basis.

So the diagram makes sense after you spent at least 32 hours studying LLMs.
Care to elaborate? Is it well established that brains do not work at any level probabilistically?

I understand the mid-level abstraction is clearly different between LLMs and brains. The whole made of meat vs wires, etc, to start with.

But, honestly asking. I can't see how they can differ in a fundamental level in the specific regard of probability. Either both are probabilistic, be it explicitly in its construction or at a fundamental (quantum?) level, or deterministic again at either level, if we go with the mecanicist vibe.

Am I missing something?

I was also reading the headline and the first comments entirely confused until I read the article and it elaborate that these are "ThermoPhotoVoltaic" cells, which involves heat and ties in to the article's comments about this being used for energy storage.

All around, confusing. I didn't even know we had such a thing.

So the term "Machine Learning" is egregious misuse of language? These models are not explicitly programmed. They actually learn a model from data automatically. The term is technically correct.

Why would they be the same parts? Why would their manufacturer go through extensive testing if they have no incentives in doing so?

Somehow people here seem to believe that “documentation” is expensive, but most of the expense doesn't come from the paperwork itself but from the things that you are required to do by these pieces of paper. And if you want to save costs, you're gonna save costs on the manufacturing process, not just on the paperwork.

My memory could be faulty, but I didn’t think it was self refresh which has been quite common for a long time. Maybe it’s possible the OS vendors never got the idea working on the software side and abandoned it / in practice you could never arrange to have a good likelihood of having an entire bank of memory unused. You could estimate the benefit with SW experiments cheaply before ever going down the path of building the required HW support.
aren't those "backstage intimate"?
>Why would they be the same parts?

If you are buying a replacement part you would want to buy one with the same specs as the part you are replacing.

>Why would their manufacturer go through extensive testing if they have no incentives in doing so?

Manufacturers will test their parts so that buyers can see if the part is usable for their needs.
I too found the Machiavellian deconstruction distasteful at times. But
it's a useful lens. Like all such categorical psychology - personality
types and whatnot - it's a blunt utility, one that may even rally
"experimental evidence" to its support, but ultimately is elegant
observation of and in its time.

To be fair, the author acknowledges most of that. The etymology was
interesting. Less so the intersection with "class" which is a weak
sociological concept in my opinion.

Ultimately I felt it was a cold analysis though. He struggles with
defining love other than a coincidence of four types plus sex, which I
think misses about 90% of what love is, including fancies and fevers
brought on by sunshine and hormones and quite opaque to reason.

There is something odd in reading any account of the passions that
attempts to be dispassionate.

While he mentions how some bonds mat break down, the types are mainly
presented as static, missing any discussion of events and shared
experiences that shape relationships, for example; military service
where a bunch of random dudes you accidently cohabit, hang-out and

NOTE AND CORRECTION 2023-10-04

I misunderstood how Serverless billing works. Having read the documentation, I understood - incorrectly - that pricing was per-query. The docs talk about pricing being per RPU-hour, but billed on a per-second basis, where if a query runs for less than 60 seconds, it is billed for 60 seconds, and this is for a serverless product. Therefore pricing is per-query - as it is with Athena, and with Lambda.

In fact, it is not.

Pricing is per workgroup-second. I still have not found this stated in the docs; I was pointed to a re:Invent talk where an AWS developer presented a slide which made this clear.

When I was working on the investigation, I was always running a single query at a time, so billing looked right.

This change fundamentally changes the pricing proposition offered by Serverless; the original pricing conclusion was incorrect by an order of magnitude.

I have now rewritten the content regarding billing and have republished. The abstract below is the new abstract. The revision history explains what happened. Credits will credit the reader who pointed the issue out, once they let me know if they want a credit or not.

My point is that there's no agreed term. Some people include Fortnite or Roblox. Some people say it has to involve a VR headset (VR Chat still has pretty healthy active user numbers).

So - whether I want to join in with your mirth rather depends which definition of "metaverse" you're mocking.

Epic will probably define it in terms of "purpose"

If the purpose of the 'visual tour' is to showcase or advertise another product, then it will fall under the new rules, no matter how many gameplay elements you add.

If the purpose is to be a standalone product, then it counts as a game.

First of all stealing as a last resort to avoid death is not whats happening. And yes there is a case to made that if all other options are exhausted you do what you need to do, even if it is morally wrong.

That is not the same as shoplifting luxury goods, clip ons, apple products, shoes or whatever.

You are very focused on rights, but everyone has rights, and there is a limit to where your rights can go, based on when they start to infringe another person rights. Also in basically all western countries there is support structure in place to feed the poor, so that no one should go hungry.

I don't think it's due to gender per se (not that this necessarily matters to the trial).
More likely SBF just found her to be the easiest to exploit. There's certainly a correlation (a dude would have slightly different reasons to allow himself to

> How is creativity different than adding some randomness to the answer generating?

Deterministic systems are clearly not creative. But randomness is a necessary, but not sufficient, requirement for creativity.

> I'm sure Nazi Germany surely fires for some after such statement as it does for me, but they did not minimize suffering. We should. We should just allow people to take risk if they want to. We allow skydiving and trying to climb Mount Everest. Why not allow to take it with benefit to other humans.

The problem is that incentive structures of profit, monopoly, and power accumulation mean that people will get put into economic situations where they might do this to get out of desperation or not being well informed enough. Regulation will not work well enough, and we can't proceed assuming it might.

We can't engage in such risky/dystopian behavior unless we can reduce the risk of systematic abuse, and right now we definitely can't. For example:

We now are so much more productive than any time in history because of automation, but our work-life balance has not significantly improved. The US (and I'm assuming other) economies are structured in a way that 0 employment would mean extremely high inflation, so they intentionally increase unemployment instead of curtailing price-gouging.

The impact will not only be abuse in terms of negative outcomes for "volunteers", but the ugly psychological impact on everyone the more hellish the bottom of the economy becomes as people become desperate to avoid it.

I don't know, if I was at an architecture firm or a movie studio and saw this I wouldn't consider switching to Godot. They're fine, there's nothing wrong with them particularly, but they're very indie, very programmer-y, very 2D and not very graphically intensive. I've had a look at some of the Godot graphical showcases and the best stuff there is on par with the late 360 era, probably not on the level of the original release of UE4.

If you're using Unreal Engine it's probably because you want the very best graphics and peformance and you want it to be usable for artists or architects without requiring them to learn to code. I just don't think Godot can compete in those areas until we start to see scenes which are on the same level of graphical fidelity as UE.
I would add just how dubious Neuralink looks from the governance side.

Bullshitting sounds more intentional. Ignoring the truth is different from a failure to conceptualize the truth.
This how it works or most people in the world. They get a phone and they change it only when they are forced to (hardware failure, some app they absolutely need stops working etc.). The group of people changing phones because they are no longer supported with security fixes is very small.

This is beyond stupid how fucked up the phone market is. I'm still using my 2008 laptop with newest LTS (x)Ubuntu, but my 2018 Android phone lost official support in 2020... Thanks to that, now I have iPhone (longer support) and Fairphone 5 (I like how they try to upstream everything for this phone and promise really long support).
