Yes, he's the water we're swimming in. Here's an example I've been wondering about for years:

Freud taught that early childhood experience has a profound impact on adult life. Did anyone have this perspective before Freud? Was there a precedent? If I think of literary depictions of childhood in the 19th century, for example in Dickens, there can be great pathos, but not a psychological awareness of the consequences.

This emphasis on early childhood experience is tectonic in Western culture and we still haven't caught up to it in practice. If it really was Freud's contribution, that alone makes him great.

Another dimension of Freud is that he was a taboo-breaker, and in that sense a heroic figure. Some of the steps he dared to take are still so out-there that they can't be openly discussed. That's pretty remarkable after a hundred years.
"Artists spend significant time crafting prompts and finding seeds to generate a desired image with text-to-image models."

I wish there was a different description of those who generate art via AI than "artists". When ChatGPT writes me a story based on my prompts I'm still not an "author". Sorry, I know it's a tired argument already but it'll never stop bugging me.

> children in 1 mother/1 father do have significantly better outcomes than lesbians

Source? Keep in mind, gay and lesbian couples who have kids are richer than baseline. Parents who chose their children, and can afford to advantage them, will have better kids than the alternatives.

Put another way, I haven’t met a kid of a gay or lesbian parent who isn’t obviously going to be, at the very least, alright. I cannot say that for virtually any other demo.
My opinion of google has been plummeting hard over the years. I distinctly remember that company growing into this idealistic company and thinking that this way of thinking would never die. Just do the right thing and money will follow…

Now I’m all grown up and I abhor this company. I could probably get a job with them since I’m all leet coded up to hard but don’t give a shit anymore. Literally. The only perk they have that stands out is the onsite daycare. But the truth is, you couldn’t pay me to pretend to care about that company anymore.

All of my main emails are on non-google domains. I use Kagi search exclusively. Their AI models are laughable, even if they were able to impress me I wouldn’t give up a shred of control or privacy to partake.

I’m not totally off the grid mind you. I will fight to make sure Amazon’s fraud detection systems don’t blacklist me (and by fight I mean submit my drivers license meekishly) or let Dropbox have access to and transfer, unencrypted all of my tax returns each year when that time comes. But god damn, some companies have absolutely ruined themselves beyond redemption. I won’t even buy a VR headset for fear that it might require a Facebook account (I’ve been banned from Facebook for no reason AND assured by another poster that Facebook accounts are no longer required for VR) let alone allow any google domain to resolve itself on my home network.

I don’t know what the fuck happened but I can say this. The company I once thought was permanently beyond reproach and whose ethos was so lofty it could never be challenged is down there now…with the yahoos and askjeeves and IBMs and Microsoft’s of the world…whose sole existence is to grab another wad of cash and give nothing back to the world. I know Google does some good, but it’s not nearly enough considering their size and the world would in fact be better if they ceased to exist. Same with facebook and Microsoft.

I'm still for Apple and Amazon sometimes but I’m sure there will come a day when they turn to shit. They call it enshitification…I don’t like that term but it fits here and there’s nothing better for now.

Oh and someone at Google resigned? Cool. Call me when they donate all their money to charity and cease to exist. There’s not much they can do to redeem themselves at this point. Everything they touch turns to shit. Even 23andme is incapable of operating without going full blown evil. Just fucking admit you suck at not getting hacked and take the hit from a lawsuit you shitty derivation of Google. My god, is it so hard to just be honest?

If dishonesty doesn’t kill you quickly, your reputations will. All that money and still, the most talented among us don’t care to be associated with your name.

Right but "hard to predict" does not mean "it will happen whenever I want it to happen". You can't look at a very hard problem, where a good sample of the world's experts say it will take more than 10 years to solve, and just say "I bet we can do it in 4 years" just because you want that to be true.

“Don't kid yourself. There is no Palestine. There never was, and never will be.”

If true, that moots the UN partition plan for the (now supposedly non-existent) Palestine, and moots Ben-Gurion’s proclamation of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, which is partially based on the premise of the validity of the mooted UN resolution supporting the partition. That’s about an extreme anti-(political state of Israel) position as you can take…an international law “final solution” of sorts against the existence of political state of Israel: then, now and in the future.

A transcribed quote from the above video:

"Let me go deeper into Red Hat, multiple leaders over the last year plus that were held accountable to the point that they're no longer here at Red Hat because they were not willing to live up to the standards." -- Paul Cormier, Chairman at Red Hat

Paul Cormier and Arvind Krishna should be fired.
If you naively apply Newton's force of gravity, between two masses at a distance, Fg = Gm1m2/d^2, you get an infinite force when a marble (mass 1) is at the center (distance = 0) of a planet (mass 2)

Of course, this singularity is just a sign the equation doesn't capture all the details.

The detail is the masses have radiuses, r1 and r2, and when the distance falls below either radius, the force of gravity for any mass's radius beyond d cancels out. When d = 0, Fg = 0.

Similarly, the idea that general relativity's black hole singularity is real is also naive.

A situation with massive gravity over tiny distances is going to require GR and QM to be united or otherwise reconciled (at a minimum!) for any chance of an accurate model.

Lesson: Our equations break down because they are incomplete. Reality doesn't break down.
Ooh, I've been waiting for this. Exciting! Can't wait to try it out in a tool.
The pytorch performance is awful though. You'd have to be kinda crazy to not use an optimized implementation.
Stupid layman question here. Apologies if my question "isn't even wrong".

I have always had trouble reconciling the "tidal stresses rip everything apart" with the idea that "everything hits the center in finite time, thus infinite density and singularity".

I mean, how can both be true?

My understanding is that tidal forces are due to the gravity gradient being more and more severe as you near the center. That is, objects just a little bit closer to the center than you will be pulled more, and hence will accelerate towards the center faster than you are being accelerated (at that moment). Relatively speaking, they are moving away from you. Eventually the gradient is so severe even your atoms even get ripped apart. Everything accelerates at faster and faster speeds.

This would imply that the "space" between matter increases indefinitely as you approach the center, right?

Also, does this also apply to photons in say a light ray? Do the photons nearer the center pull away from the photons further out? If not, why not? And if so, then how can this be possible if all photons travel at same speed C? Is it that space is expanding inside the event horizon, faster than the speed of light?

So anyhow, tidal forces seem to imply everything getting further and further apart from each other as you near the center.

But the idea of a singularity is that "everything is in a single point of infinite density".

So how can matter be getting ripped apart at the same time it's getting squooshed together?

Also, wouldn't this apply to the original star that's collapsing? Meaning the particles inside the star are getting ripped apart as the black hole forms and they're drawn toward the center at faster and faster speeds. Is it possible that the particles in the star are also ripped apart by tidal forces, never reaching each other?

I guess my question is, what forces the particles back together again? There must be deceleration involved, right?

I feel like I'm missing something important.
Also, I'm just starting the book but I love the authors youtube videos and it seems germane, a brief history of black holes by dr becky smethurst seems to have decent reviews and her videos are great. Maybe check her out on youtube if you're more experienced but I'm finding her book fun as a layman
The imitation will get closer and closer to reasoning and some will mistake it for superior reasoning. I don’t think it’s impossible for computers to reason in analogous ways to us but the current road alone is not it, in my opinion. I think for artificial intelligence to florish it should have some form of artificial life to it, some system with a bit more complexity and feedback loops than anything that I know of today.
I read this back when I was a neuroscientist studying consciousness, and it was a very intriguing premise. The title was super-relevant, since I was actually analyzing Patient GY’s data at the time!

However, I think the key idea that consciousness is a local maximum in the universe is fundamentally mistaken, if a cool thought experiment.

The brain is an expensive organ, and unless consciousness is truly pointless, it would be subject to evolutionary pressure like anything else. I doubt it could escape those pressures, even just within earth.

The vampires were cool tho.

Neat story! I design physical consumer goods products, and love seeing something I've worked on pop up into my "real life". Not being much of a programmer, do you think there's an equivalent feeling for coding? And was this one of those instances? I'll be honest, I'm getting 50/50 mildly entertained/mildly bitter vibes off your comment but only replying out of curiosity. Like I said, the intuitive understanding of "code" as a craft is somewhat foreign to me.
> The problem with “always wear a p100” is that they’re not comfortable in an unventilated uncooled house which is where a lot of construction happens. If everyone is wearing one you also need to take more breaks which eats into time to do the job.

Also, solutions that require people to consistently do uncomfortable things are not realistic; we know they will fail to comply - just like we would - and they will get sick.

>We get severe storm warnings, but there's so many storms in tornado alley to be honest people get fatigue over them and mostly ignore other than maybe changing plans for a bbq

This is such a cop out. You can pay attention to the weather and make decisions based on that. People have chosen to carry on like nothing is happening. You can get alerts and warnings and watches issued for areas near you and see if the storm is coming or going. If you get alerts and see the system is to the east of you, then no problem. If you see the storm is southwest of you and still pay no attention to it, that's on you.

If people are single with no others to worry about, then fine, YOLO your life away. If people are "fatigued" with dependents and get caught up in it, it really irresponsible of them.

I never said it was clear cut. I stipulated that the multiday forecasts are sometimes farcically bad. However, when the severe stuff does hit, these guys are all over it. Choosing to ignore them when they are telling you it is there is totally mind boggling. When the severe weather is happening, they can literally show you the streets in the neighborhoods it is impacting or are directly in the path. If that's not your area, then fine, tune it out. But to say "I'm tired of hearing about weather not affecting me" is so so weak.
When someone's entire argument is "doing x would be dumb, and we know this guy isn't dumb", I see value in pointing out that this is a rather circular logic

Personal Blog to Profitable Business: The Story of TokyoDev
Very sad, but beautiful. The following passage especially stuck with me:

"Researchers Gilbert, Quiodbach and Wilson coined a term called the “end of history illusion,” which describes people’s tendency to look back on the last ten or twenty years of their life and concede that they’ve changed a great deal. Yet when they’re asked to project how much they’ll change in the next decade, they tend to believe they’ll change much less, if at all, as if all their life was leading up to this moment, in which they’ve achieved peak selfhood.

"The illusion protects us…from realizing how transient our preferences and values are which might lead us to doubt every decision and generate anxiety.

"Sounds like the researchers read Derek Parfit. I’m currently experiencing whatever the opposite of the “end of history illusion” is. Let’s call it: “The beginning of potentially infinite unknowable and yet inevitable futures reality.” Okay, that’s kind of a mouthful. I’m not good at pithy marketing slogans. Knowledge of Jake’s impending death brings with it the certainty that my life is about to undergo tremendous, nonconsensual upheaval, inevitably changing my preferences and values, though I don’t know any details except that I’ll change in likely vast and unexpected ways. Without the comforting illusion of stasis, what can I do to assuage the anxiety caused by reality? That’s what the videos are for."

Are they significantly different from the way that I know that Harry Potter is a wizard?

Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in hearing about some maximally elegant mathematical model which is consistent with the observations and the laws of physics on our side of the horizon. I just don't think I would then proceed to believe that what they described was a reality on the other side of that horizon.

I've written code for profit for about 25 years, although I started learning to code in Perl and BASIC when I was 8 years old, so, 35 years total. I have a high school degree. I dropped out of art school. I'm self-taught. I've worked on some larger teams but generally in a role where I was responsible for a final module or piece of code from start to finish. Most of my career has been working alone, planning and building full stack custom software for midsized businesses and startups that need particular functionality in their workflows that they can't find off the shelf. Much of it is designing the business logic. Most of my codebase now is TS, NodeJS and PHP, (and SQL) although up until 2016 or so I did a huge amount of work, including games, in Actionscript 3.
Really neat. I tried your search for red shoes, and I found some, er, unexpected imagery on page 1.

One thing you could do is add semantic search so when a user searches "red shoes," the index returns images that look like red shoes even if the metadata doesn't say anything about color or item types. To do this, I'd use a model like CLIP. Here's an example of using CLIP and Supabase to do semantic image search: https://blog.roboflow.com/how-to-use-semantic-search-supabas...

Coming from a header bidding network, I can say with certainty that Google’s display ad business was in effect a criminal enterprise. DFP fees, preferential treatment for their ad supply, data hoarding, fees at every level, shoddy quality enforcement and dubious billing practices all had an ugly effect on publishers, the web and anyone who dared compete with them. I hope there is plenty more accountability and reform, even as I work as far away from that space as possible.
