My kids have been to a lot of places, and have been questioned about the logic of taking a 4-year old to Machu Picchu or wherever as they won't remember it.

I've said that it doesn't matter if they remember it. It's much more important that they experience it.

You can only experience Rome as a four-year old when you are four years old, there is no chance of getting that experience ever again their lives. They can experience Rome again, and again as an adult if they want, but being 4, 8, 12 or teenager at new place is not something that anyone has a chance of ever repeating.

They remember somethings, forget others, but come away with an interest in people, places, environments, etc.

I had the exact same reaction when I read this. A lot of intelligent people have thought about these issues. I'm willing to grant that there is some probability that you've understood their problems better than they have[1], but when you write it like that, it seems quite obvious to me that you have not had any such insight. In order to have such an insight you would have to have the curiosity to fully understand the problem space; claiming everyone on both sides is a moron exempts you of any such curiosity.

[1]: After all, a lot of smart people thought about crypto.
Haven’t thought about that, but it doesn’t sound wrong. Will have to look into that

A charitable interpretation could be that a rising tide lifts all boats. Syrus/Wasmer may sincerely believe that WASIX contributes to the rising tide, and it will therefore benefit Wasmer and all other Wasm-related ventures alike.

Under this interpretation, there would still be a financial incentive, but it would not be underhanded.
> Galois didn't take part in the French revolution, he was born well after.

He was involved in the July revolution of 1830, which overthrew Charles X and put Louis-Philippe on the throne (though Galois was a republican, and he did not do much). So he was part of a French Revolution, just not that of 1789.
Do you mean that artificial neurons are inherently passive while biological neurons are inherently active i.e. they would act in spite of external input?

Just wondering if I understood you, I don't know anything on the subject.
To make this a fair comparison you need to look at the average price per ticket, not the “starting at” price, and include the government subsidies of airports/security/atc/ etc that enable this system.

I would also add in a cost for carbon. I realize that’s more controversial but it seems like we will have to pay to remove co2 at some point.

I don’t know what the numbers look like when you do that.

Regardless, I do agree the amount per traveler to make a train work seems depressingly high.

In practice, though, this turns into a motte-and-bailey, whether or not that is your intent.

When someone today talks about "decolonization", what are the odds that they're talking about Palestine? What are the odds that they're talking about the Belgian Congo? This is especially true if it shows up on Twitter rather than in an obscure journal about the 20th century history of Africa.

So (many) people are using "decolonization" to mean the destruction of Israel. And then (some, and maybe not the same) people are saying "you can't say decolonization means genocide, because there's all this history of Africa and India and the Caribbean and so on - it doesn't necessarily mean that." OK, fine, but these days, on Twitter, what percentage of it does mean wiping out Israel? 95%? 99%?

So, yes, as a matter of definition, you have a point. In practice, Twitter has a point.
Been there.

let's look at some of the reasons of the burnout:

1. You are not a 20 year old anymore.

2. Been there, done that so many times.

3. You got a kid AND (obviously) a partner. This is a major change in your life. Your priorities are changing.

Essentially, what you were doing in the past, is not working and you know deep inside you will not work.

The only thing you can change in this whole equation is YOU.

and so here's what I suggest...

take a break - go away from everything (and I mean everything including your kid) for a week. Suggest going to a small town where there's nothing to do, it's incredibly boring and all you can do is go for long walks. Here's what you should think about:

1. Look at your next 30 years (so long you've coasted along but now you have to plan). Decide what is it that you want to be known for at the end of the 30 years. What is it that you will have wanted to achieve.

2. Make a list of the top 3-4 areas you want to be in. More importantly, make a list of the consequences (both +ve and -ve) if you choose a specific area.

3. Pull together a plan (remember, it will change as you execute it) of how you will get from here to there for each area. That includes the steps you'll take, how will you track it, what issues/risks will come up, your answers to that.

4. Take the top 2 and start doing. At some point, you'll need to dump one area. You can do just one thing in this lifetime...

aaand... if all the above is wrong and it is not a major burnout, then just go for a week's vacation and walk yourself into the ground. Come back completely (physically) exhausted. for me, I need to rinse, repeat every 1/2 year.

Oh yeah finally, Don't take a high end, 5 star resort or something like that. Be frugal. You want the physical discomfort to override the mental pain. You need other things to bother you. For example a friend of mine did a one month travel on less than a $ per DAY across India (and that included staying, food, traveling etc.,)...

Hope this helps.

Best.
Why aren't Tesla suing PostNord instead?
> My point is: why are you choosing to consume from a dumpster at all?

My choices are as follows:

Meta vs. X, I choose X

Reddit vs. Hackernews, I choose Hackernews

I couldn't say why I choose either, I guess it's a thirst for content and ultimately, there's a visceral choice that I make that results in X / Hackernews as opposed to Meta / Reddit.

I mean, kind of? I went searching for a new car two years ago, and wanted something that could do my daily driving on electric.

I found the RAV4 Prime, which is a plug-in hybrid which will do 40 miles on the battery without touching gas.

All of my daily driving is now electric, but it is a plug-in hybrid and I do use the gas engine on road trips.

So, yes, it's not a pure comparison of electric cars to electric cars, but when people are buying a new car, they're in the market for a _car that meets their requirements_, not _electric cars only_.
> At this point, even the word "content" betrays the emptiness of it all

In all fairness, "content" telegraphed that from the first time it was used in the online sense. I still don't understand why people are willing to use it to refer to their own work.

>What mechanism prevents Bob and Steve from entering into such an agreement? To me, that would be a violation of freedom, to limit the kinds of agreements people can enter into.

Nothing prevents anyone from entering into such an agreement, but it can't be called a "sale". Like I said, perhaps it's a lease of some kind, but selling something and putting special conditions on the transfer are mutually exclusive. If you sell me something then I own it, can I do whatever I want with it (destroy it, gift it, sell it, etc.); if can't do whatever I want with it then I don't own it, and you haven't sold it to me.

>what would you call the deliberate violation of the agreement

At this point we're probably talking about contract law, not ownership rights, so "violation" seems perfectly adequate.

>To me, knowingly possessing something that does not belong to you seems like a fair definition of theft.

Just as example, when someone misses a payment on a purchase and it's repossessed, they're not said to have "stolen" the item, they're said to have "defaulted" on the debt. Your usage of the word "theft" is one I've never seen before.

>If you don't believe people are free to enter into contingent ownership agreements

You can enter into all sorts of agreements that entitle you to limited prerogatives over something. Those agreements go by different names, and so does the relationship between you and the thing that the agreement is about while the agreement is current. "Contingent ownership" is a term that refers to nothing that exists, as ownership involves total decision power over something, and a sale is a particular agreement that involves the transfer of that power in its entirety.

>Even by your own definition of "control", wouldn't I not have control over something if I can't concoct whatever rules for that thing that I like?

Yes, again, you can enter into agreements with other people over something you own and impose whatever terms you like without transferring ownership of the thing. It's not a sale until you relinquish all rights over the thing. Hell, you can even do a sort of timed sale where you reserve the right to claw back the thing for a limited time; in such a case one could not say the sale is complete before that time elapses, and before then the person doesn't have complete ownership.

Your second paragraph made me LOL - thanks! Similar experience here, listening to the C-Squared interview.

> I think his focus on games that can vs can't lead to higher earnings is interesting.

The root problem, or least one of them, is that he is cherry-picking his results. He may not even understand that he is doing it. (Caruana also pointed this out in the C-Squared interview.)

Rather than defining some search universe with reasonable parameters, and applying some standard filter across all of that space, Kramnik first notices some "interesting" result and expands out from there. This is a recipe for self-delusion and/or fraud.
I thought about that as I wrote my comment, but you still have to subtract the snark and holier-than-thou attitude to get to where I am.

You first wrote:

> They were soviet nukes. They had as much control over them as Germany has over the US nukes parked in Germany.

The Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991. We are talking about what happened after that.

You compared the situation with US nukes in Germany today. But that is not the same situation at all. The US has not ceased to exist like the Soviet Union did.

And if it did, it is far from obvious which US states will control the nukes in the mainland ex-USA. That would be the parallel with the Soviet Union and Ukraine/Russia. Not US nukes in a foreign state.
>Everybody knows that being sedentary and overweight is bad for your health.

No there is a growing segment of the population that has no idea being sedentary leads to weight gain, as well as a segment that thinks being overweight is ok or healthy. Perhaps you're not as in-touch with the rhetoric of the younger generation.
Yeah, you're right. I was kind of simplifying it. API-wise, it's more like document.createElement() but I didn't want to asterisk that because document.createElement() is actually a thing and I didn't want people to think it was a simple layer on top of document.createElement.

> Neural nets do seem to have some sort of emergent structural concept graph, in the case of LLMs it's largely informed by human language (because that's what they're trained on.) To an extent, we can observe this empirically through their output even if the first principles are opaque.

Alternatively, what you're seeing are the structures inherent within human culture as manifested through its literature[1], with LLMs simply being a new and useful tool which makes these structures more apparent.

It's mostly due to incentives. The most effective way to go after search engine spam is to aim for what the search engine spammers are after, which is mostly ad impressions. If you get rid of the ads, you get rid of the search engine spam. Of course, that would be directly hitting Google's bottom line, and is never going to happen[1]

The other factor is of course that they are very big, and get directly targeted in a way I'm not.

Our 8 year old doesn't remember life before her siblings. She was 3 when they were born. To her it's like they were always here. She doesn't even remember her 4th or 5th birthday parties. But starting around 5.5 years old she remembers a lot more.

Our niece supposedly remembers life before our oldest. She was 3 when she was born. I think a big difference though is she had the continual disappointment from then on of not being the only grandchild.

What's the licensing status for this data? Not sure if you're aware of this, but Wikipedia is working on pretty-printing encyclopedic English text (or natural language text more generally) starting from a language-independent, semantic ("frame" based) compositional representation, and Universal Dependencies is expected to be an important part of the solution. See e.g. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2... . It would be especially compelling from this POV to have UD parses of short snippets of public domain text, e.g. famous historical quotations, known idioms, proverbs etc. These parses could then be added directly to Wikidata's lexicographical ("lexeme") data set.

Great read! And yes, the existence of interest is what causes ups and downs in economies.
"Fair" is what the market pays. Presumably though, YC companies aren't the average and should want top talent, so I think at least 200k plus some heavy equity for top tier talent. (In the US. If they're hiring from other countries obviously the market might be different).
Is this normalised? It seems quite misleading to use the "electric cars" to describe actual electric cars (Electric Vehicles) and ICE cars that happen to have an electricity-powered system in them...

You might consider the climate and carbon impact of those flights vs rail.

Many of the rail lines are subsidized in countries with extensive rail travel. So they don’t have to be economically viable, it’s viewed as a public good, contributing to general economic development.
not sure there is much point to this. currently no model is even at the level of primary school math. it will take decades until it can win a gold medal in maths. it won't happen overnight. it will happen slowly. will they still give out the prize in 20 years from now, when it won't seem like such a breakthrough?
Right but that's less than half of my comp right now.
Alright: the kicker (and the reason why I don't think this will result in a black hole) is that in order to extract that energy from the particle, you have to continuously re-heat it and add more energy back each time you want kT \ln 2 units of work done. Remember that the work is done isothermally, so the particle's energy is actually constant throughout this process.

What's really happening is that if we consider the positional information to be continuous, then the particle's positional entropy is basically infinite. We can reduce this entropy (locally, to the particle) with a measurement, and use that lowered entropy to extract as much isothermal work as we want. But its energy density is unaffected by the positional information.
> you're giving terrible advice here

Never had trouble with the completed soldered/crimped connections for decades. I use them in my car. With crimp-only, it's only a matter of time till I get erratic connects. It's particularly irritating with the stereo, as the speakers go in and out or suffer the crackling with a loose connection.
Why should workers care about such an inefficiency? Without worker solidarity, increased efficiency only enables their bosses to extract more value from their surplus labor.
