Bear in mind I'm interpreting the previous comment.

I'm familiar with many things Bayesian thanks :) However, I wouldn't assume everyone else is, even here.

Are you familiar with the meaning(s) of the word jargon? https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/jargon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon

Just to provide an example, your previous comment could have been written something like this: "Being honest though, the guy's commit messages changed my preconceptions about how reliable and well-designed his code will be."

No knowledge of statistics required, Bayesian or otherwise.

Lol. That's not an "attack."

Your server is publicy accessible over the internet. This means you are explicitly allowing other networks to connect to your server. This is par for the course; just always make sure to run the latest security patches and move on with life.
It feels like you are very conveniently brushing aside the West Bank. The West Bank is very much an apartheid. Military checkpoints, double judicial system, limited suffrage, they even have a separated road system. It is not the Palestinian Authority which is imposing this system, it is Israel.

> It would be like calling the USA a military fascist dictatorship because of what they did in Iraq.

Bad comparison. It would be like calling the USA a colonial power because of they hold colonies in Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the North Mariana Islands.

Mind you that the only thing the USA has in common with Israel regarding their colonies, is limited suffrage (which it is correctly criticized for). No military checkpoints, no double judicial systems, no limited movement, no separated road networks.

Many, including me wouldn’t call the USA a democracy if it still held their pre-civil rights segregation of black and indigenous people. In my mind USA didn’t become a democracy until 1964. What Israel is doing is far worse then USA under Jim Crow. Israel is not a democracy by modern standards.
I used Julia to build a macroeconomic model (DSGE-VAR) during my econ studies. I liked the conceptual decisions and the language per se (ie as a spec), but DX was quite bad: low discoverability of features and proper typings, clunky metaprogramming, long compilation times, impossibility of struct redefinitions in REPL. My interest died pretty fast because of it.
I love Dan Carlin too, but you have to listen with a critical ear. He endorsed the standard, but very questionable, idea that the US basically had to atom bomb two Japanese cities because if we didn't they'd fight to the last grandmother.

IIRC he also endorsed the now largely discredited idea that the atom bomb attack is what caused the Japanese to surrender.

A change in scale is a change in kind. There's a real qualitative difference between a party popper and a flashbang even though they're both "just" generators of light and sound. It's the same with regular ol' human learning---for which we have millenia of understanding and norms---and comparatively low-cost global-scale machine learning. The scale of the latter obliterates the structures we've built under the assumption of the former, so you can't just claim they're the same.
Yes, I agree that disappearing messages is not a strong action.

I don't think changing usernames is a strong action either. This is because the fingerprint is your language, not the name you're associated with. See the Enron dataset and the project in Ng's intro AI course, but we'd need to scale that quite a bit (which is very hard).

I'm not aware of the fuzzed users. But I think you should mention it in the open if they are problematic.

I have thought of AI to rewrite my language but that's difficult and only fuzzing too.
Sam Altman hired Jony Ive to design a "consumer AI device"
Recall that Apple is appealing the decision of an agency, not a court. Staying an agency's decision until an actual court can review the agency's decision makes sense. An analogy: migrants seeking asylum in the USA should be permitted to remain in the USA until their appeals process is completed even after an immigration judge decides not to grant the asylum-seeker asylum.
Plenty of people don’t update their OS, either out of laziness, fear, or just because their device is no longer supported on the latest version.

> Compromise an employee?

An official visits the headquarters, and informs that certain employees need to be hired at certain departments “to help with national security”. End of story.

What even makes people think that executives whose job is to deal with everyone in order to “do business” are their long distance friends, or some kind of punks who'd jump on the table and flip birdies into faces of people making such an offer?

It is becoming harder and harder for an individual to file for and protect the patent due to costs involved.
- 2024 will see the rise of job-keeping as a core skill set for everyone except the most technical or most soft-skilled persons. Individuals will need to prove to their employer organizations that they provide more value than a bot, and you'll see an accompanying wave of "career maintenance" influencers and consultants. It'll be comparable to "win the interview" culture, so not a huge thing, but definitely a thing. This ties in with what others have said about the rise of individual competence proving as a trend.

- People will be so sick of online dating that "singles culture" will make a come-back, primarily for millennials who are 35+ and freaking out about life priorities (kids, partner, etc.) I expect to see lots of "speed dating" and stuff like that appear out of nowhere as everyone become more sexually open-minded but also wants human connection.

- The US government will begin to talk about 10 year + plans for the first time in over a centry. Biden will do a bragging tour on the infrastructure bill leading into the election and "long termism" will become a meme.

- Cannabis will be re-scheduled to Schedule III and will become basically legal for all Americans.

- Bitcoin will be strong, all other cryptos will flounder. Ethereum will stay alive, and NFTs will make a bit of a come-back, but not like the first wave.

- People will make serious efforts to stop owning cars and demand more transit options from their cities and townships. These plans will be very glamourous and take 10 years to complete (or get started). Some may stop owning phones.

- Alcohol will take on a "weird" place in culture in response to growing cannabis and psychedelics usage. Some people will become very proud of their drinking and others will judge them very harshly. It will probably end up a culture war issue.

- We will see extraordinary acts of public violence in American streets, with responsibility probably shared between citizens, gangs, and the police.

Are you saying anything more than: 'My perspective and beliefs are the truth, and therefore anyone who disagrees is deluding themselves?'

What supports your claims? Why are you so certain that there's nothing beyond them, nothing more to the world that you could learn?

> Rich people do not actually respect poor people... it's absurd.

Certainly not all do, and certainly not all don't. I'll point out that equality is a popular, fundamental notion across cultures. "all men are created equal" Liberté, égalité, fraternité. It's the foundation of democracy, where poor and rich have the same vote.
I met Sally Snowman a few times -- we used to visit Boston Light 1-2 times every summer on MIT's sailboat with a group of students. She was super-welcoming and shared a ton of knowledge and stories about the lighthouse and station. We really enjoyed seeing the lens, etc., and thinking we were like the MIT students in the 1890s who lived out there to try to understand how sound traveled across the sea and create a better foghorn, I think not with a ton of success.

One time we arrived at Little Brewster and I was wearing a "captain's hat" that some friends had gotten me from West Marine, and the Coast Guard auxiliarists who helped us dock gave me a hard time, Boston-style. I think they don't love it when recreational sailors wear pretend rank insignia. They were smiling about it but I didn't wear the hat on later visits!

I hope she has a great retirement and they find somebody even half as dedicated to be her successor. The only reason Boston Light still has a keeper at all (the only one left in the country) is because Ted Kennedy and John Kerry sponsored an amendment to the 1989 Coast Guard Authorization Act to the effect that "The Boston Light shall be operated on a permanently manned basis." I just went back to look at it and in Ted Kennedy's remarks he says, "Thousands of visitors a year come out in Boston Harbor to visit to Boston Light. They learn about the history of the Light from the museum exhibits at its base. They climb the historic tower, and enjoy the view of the Boston skyline and the charm of Little Brewster Island. Most important, they gain a new understanding and appreciation of the important work of the Coast Guard and the role of Boston Light in our Nation's history." The part about thousands of visitors coming out I think is sadly no longer true. :-(
Opposition to public health measures doesn’t seem to be related to left or right politics as far as I can tell - there are numerous examples in both directions and the history is long. Early examples that come to mind include opposition to sewers and small pox vaccines.

Political crisis brewing in France after minister resigns over immigration bill
I used to work as a computer programmer until I retired. Nearly always, my work was part of a collaborative effort, and latterly didn't include any copyright claim. My income was never impacted by unauthorized copying. Until the 80s, there was no copyright on software, and yet even then people made a living programming.

Craftsmen don't claim copyright on their artifacts. Furniture designs were widely copied; but Chippendale did alright for himself. Gardeners at stately homes didn't rely on copyright. Vergil, Plato and Aristotle managed OK without copyright. People made a living composing music, songs and poetry before the idea of copyright was invented. Truck-drivers make a living; driving a truck is hardly a performance art. Labourers and factory workers get by successfully. Accountants and legal advocates get rich without copyright.

None of these trades amounts to "performance arts".

The load time improvements are amazing. Thanks to everyone that was involved. I've been using it locally for months now simply because of this feature and I had to update my "how to deal with compile-time" blog post (https://sciml.ai/news/2022/09/21/compile_time/) to basically say system images really aren't needed anymore with these improvements. With that and the improvements to parallel compilation I tend to not care about "first time to X" anymore. To me it's solved and I'm onto other things (though I personally need to decrease the precompilation time of DifferentialEquations.jl, but all of the tools exist in v1.10 and that's on me to do, ya'll have done your part!).

Additionally:

* Parser error messages are clearer

* Stack traces are no longer infinitely long! They are good and legible!

* VS Code auto-complete stuff is snappier and more predictive (might be unrelated, but is a recent improvement in some VS Code things)

Altogether, I'm pretty happy with how this one shaped up and am looking forward to static compilation and interfaces being the next big focus areas.
I don't know anything about Xwayland, but there's this sentence in this socat writeup:

> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/How-to-access-X-o...

This makes me think that socat is exactly what you need to make it work with Xwayland?
Doesn't seem like you're actually sorry, since you could have just not asked.
That's why I think the newspapers will manage to win against the LLM companies. They won against Google despite having no real argument why they should get paid to get more traffic. The search engine tax is even a shakier concept than the LLM tax would be.

Newspapers are very powerful and they own the platform to push their opinion. I'm not about to forget the EU debates where they all (or close to all) lied about how meta tags really work to push it their way, they've done it and they will do it again.
Yes, but not at the ITC, which doesn't have the power to award monetary damages. Masimo has sued Apple for unjust enrichment from trade secret theft already and sought damages, but the jury deadlocked 6-1 in favor of Apple. There's a retrial scheduled for next October and Masimo could add patent damage claims to that case.

The likely reason Masimo made the strategic choice to sue for for unjust enrichment instead of damages is that damages are limited to the license fees Apple would have paid in the alternative world where they sought a license. That's a relatively small amount of money compared to what Masimo is no doubt hoping to extract by blocking Apple Watch imports.

By the way, a court would not have enjoined Apple from importing or selling the Apple Watch. Masimo has a very small domestic consumer-facing industry putting their patents into practice and they they already license their patents to others, demonstrating that they could do so here as well. The ITC was the only place they were likley to get that remedy.

Why are you trying to suggest that the 25% increase in hospital acquired complications are limited to a single outlier? The conclusion of the study states that the outcomes across those 51 private-equity acquired hospitals result in a 25.4% increase in hospital acquired complications.

So if the generalized hospital is an outlier, then why are the stats quoted matching the overall average results from the study?

Based on the context of the linked study, it's quite clear that the above quoted paragraph has the following meaning:

"After a [randomly selected] hospital [of the 51 sampled private equity acquired hospitals] was acquired by private equity, admitted Medicare patients had [on average, based on evalutation of those 51 PE acquired hospitals against 259 non PE aquired hospitals,] a 25% increase in hospital-acquired complications, compared with patients admitted before acquisition..."

The purpose of the article is to summarize the study findings. If they were talking about an outlier, they would mention that and use phrasing like "After THE hospital..." where "the" reiterates that it's a specific singular, and not a generalized sample.

Here's the direct text from the linked study as well that medicalxpress paraphrased/reworded:
"After private equity acquisition, Medicare beneficiaries admitted to private equity hospitals experienced a 25.4% increase in hospital-acquired conditions compared with those treated at control hospitals (4.6 [95% CI, 2.0-7.2] additional hospital-acquired conditions per 10 000 hospitalizations, P = .004)."

It seems like you're hung up on medicalxpress's choice of wording for their paraphrasing, which is fine, but 25.4% increase in hospital acquired conditions is NOT an outlier amongst the 51 sampled PE acquired hospitals.
> We’re in a “mutually assured destruction” situation now, but instead of bombs the weapon is information.

We've always been in that situation. Computers made the copying, transmission and processing of information trivial since the day they were invented. They changed the world forever.

It's the intellectual property industry that keeps denying reality since it's such an existential threat to them. They think they actually own those bits. They think they can own numbers. It's time to let go of such insane notions but they refuse to let it go.
My mother almost lost her career because of Glock.

She was a career long LEO in the Southeastern US. She carried a Sig P220 throughout her civilian law enforcement career. She was an expert marksman who always either won or placed highly in each competition she attended. She was also a firearms instructor for her county Sheriff's department.

Then Glock and their marketing folks came along and started putting money in the pockets of Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police, and other law enforcement leaders.

Next thing you know, my mother's Sheriff was telling her and the rest of the department that they had to carry a department issued Glock rather than whatever firearm they had carried for years prior.

My mother was the only one who fought this and it cost her a lot of friends and money but she eventually won the right to carry her P220. She ended up having to retire early from the county Sheriff's Department because most of her peers were hostile towards her after she went against the Sheriff.

All of this happened while I was a little boy in the 80s and 90s but to this day the only modern pistol brands I buy are Sig and CZ. I guess my bias was created in childhood, but I'll never buy or own a Glock.

In my experience, this is very team-specific. Some teams want squash merges and ignore individual commits and only look at the latest version, while others care about the "history" and will tidy it up in the PR and then merge all the commits from the PR. Though I've found the latter to be much more rare, that's why some tools (like Reviewable https://docs.reviewable.io/reviews.html?highlight=commit-by-...) have a commit-by-commit option but the default is to combine them for review.
> Figure this out and you get to choose which AI lab you want to make seven figures at. It's a really difficult problem.

It doesn't have to be perfect to be helpful, and even something that is very imperfect would at least send the signal that model-owners give a shit about attribution in general.

Given a specific output, it might be hard to say which sections of the very large weighted network were tickled during the output, and what inputs were used to build that section of the network. But this level of "citation resolution" is not always what people are necessarily interested in. If an LLM is giving medical advice, I might want to at least know whether it's reading medical journals or facebook posts. If it's political advice/summary/synthesis, it might be relevant to know how much it's been reading Marx vs Lenin or whatever. Pin-pointing original paragraphs as sources would be great, but for most models it's not like there's anything that's very clear about the input datasets.

EDIT: Building on this a bit, a lot of people are really worried about AI "poisoning the well" such that they are retraining on content generated by other AIs so that algorithmic feeds can trash the next-gen internet even worse than the current one. This shows that attribution-sourcing even at the basic level of "only human generated content is used in this model" can be useful and confidence-inspiring.
