I never said to make the tie breaker based on gender. You're wrong again. You get a lot wrong.

Noted that you avoided most of my questions.
I'm similar and I get what you mean, but I'm not sure it's a positive. Some times I waste a lot of time trying to find the perfect solution, can't find it, give up and just do the best I know how to do. Almost always, while doing that, I discover better ways to do things and often this is nå iterative process where I pretty much start over multiple times until I'm happy with the result.

I don't think the procrastination is useful. I think it's better to just get started and do anything. That way you learn and make progress.
Because it's temporary.

That is, if the company hires you, they hire you (in theory) forever. But if they contract with you, that's usually for the duration of the contract - a few months. A higher rate but for a short time is easier to justify than a slightly lower, but still high, rate forever.

The whole "AI training blackhole" thing is a myth. As long as humans are curating the content generated by ML, the content generated is still valid training data. Remember, for every ML generated image you see online, someone had to go through countless attempts to get it to create exactly what they wanted.

Wouldn't it do the opposite? You end up with fewer people competing for housing over time.
Wow, this is extremely helpful, I had no idea this existed and will have to read up on it properly.

I think my main concern would be: What would it be like for the first user to try to rank a show (as was the case for everyone today)? All probabilities would be 50-50, no? But if it's a show that's already been ranked at least once, then this could help immensely, if I understand correctly.
David Lynch has some insights on this[1]:

> There is a theory that Lynch himself doesn’t always know what is going on in his stories. He shoots this down. “I need to know for myself what things mean and what’s going on. Sometimes I get ideas, and I don’t know exactly what they mean. So I think about it, and try to figure it out, so I have an answer for myself.”

> Audiences, however, must do their own figuring out. “I don’t ever explain it. Because it’s not a word thing. It would reduce it, make it smaller.” These days he rarely gives interviews, not even during the hugely hyped return of Twin Peaks last year – a show that is still debated as either the best or worst TV of 2017. “When you finish anything, people want you to then talk about it. And I think it’s almost like a crime,” he explains. “A film or a painting – each thing is its own sort of language and it’s not right to try to say the same thing in words. The words are not there. The language of film, cinema, is the language it was put into, and the English language – it’s not going to translate. It’s going to lose.”

I wonder how much the massive amounts of SMT in later T-series SPARC chips (up to 8 threads/core IIRC) helped deal with this issue - if you can just spin up a new thread with it's own set of register windows, does the OS-level context switch penalty still hurt as much?
What is CL here?
Only of you ignore CO2 and other environmentally damaging emissions that stem from needing to feed and push millions more people out of poverty into the middle class where they also start to consume and travel and produce emissions.

So yes, the planet can theoretically sustain billions more people but only if you look at planetary free square footage per capita, but at the cost of either them living in absolute poverty, or insane environmental damage and climate change which will also create poverty from the issues climate change will cause to agriculture and food prices, so we're back to millions living or dying in poverty.

Canada and Australia are huge countries but the livable parts are quite small. You can't have infinite growth on a planet of finite resources.

I agree with Tucker Carlson from what he said on all in podcast about Japan.

Yes the population decline is alarming but does slowing growth really matter when you have a strong culture?

I don’t believe the solution to their problem is importing random people who share nothing in common with their culture.

The Japanese should be able to maintain their culture and I am sure they will bounce back. They owe it to nobody to radically change their culture to appease some number crunchers.

And I say this as an immigrant to US. I’ve been to Japan and it’s just quite amazing.
“Nearly done” is sometimes a hidden euphemism for “I feel bad about not having finished this yet, and I fear that others may accordingly look upon me unkindly, so I try to verbally minimize the unfinishedness, and I may yet get lucky and be able to finish it reasonably quickly, so it’s not an outright lie”.
My personal theory is that the most important person at a company, the one most responsible for the company's success, isn't the president or CEO. It's not the star contributor or the one who writes the most lines of code.

It's whoever makes the coffee. Because without the coffee, a whole lot less work gets done.

Don't forget whoever replaces the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom, either.
"We" who? Overpopulation is a local issue.

Lithuania isn't overpopulated. Japan sort-of is, most inhabitable territory is already built over. Egypt is definitely overpopulated, with 100 million people packed into inhabitable territory the size of Florida. Etc. etc.

Edit: to the downvoters, can you provide counterarguments? I would say that a good measure of overpopulation is that the country in question cannot possibly feed all of its population even if it tried very hard, and is inevitably dependent on imports.
That, and you've skipped ahead and gotten a bit of the social reward for the project without doing it yet. So the reward will be less too.
It is also the non-adverserial version of the Turing test, humans might be better in the adversarial one, still.

I found the relative high level for ELIZA fascinating, too.
We should just find an economic system that doesn’t depend on being a generational pyramid scheme.

Arguably it’s exactly the opposite of what you say: the sustainability of life on this planet depends on human population decreasing.

There’s nothing particularly scary about having an older population curve, it just means that society has to adjust by having higher savings rates for individuals and government retirement programs.

Considering that AI is projected to eliminate 300 million jobs globally it sounds like we don’t need to all procreate like rabbits.
Not if you look at internal and external migration. Housing has gone up in the big cities of countries with declining demographics because the places where demographics are declining are villages and small towns because everyone is moving to the big cities with jobs and universities which see virtually unlimited demand irregardless of local demographics.

Look at Germany, Italy, Balkans, etc. all have declining demographics ranging from slight to severe yet housing in their cities has gone up from slight to severe. Like everything in real estate, it's all about the location location location, so everything is localized not extrapolated to the whole country it's why demographics can be steeply declining but prices steeply going up in cities.

Unless you want to live in desolate villages with no infrastructure or jobs, urban housing prices isn't tracking demographics.

Edit: to downvoters, check the numbers please

It's a function of technology and what damage to natural ecosystems could be tolerated, but with current demonstrated crop yields the world could support 150 billion people. At the limit imposed by direct thermal pollution, the world could support 1 trillion people (but it would be more like living in a space station than on a planet.)
“One reason” doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a prevailing reason, and there are certainly other reasons.

Where does this come from? We're currently in a 100+ year long population explosion that is wreaking havoc on the planet.

Even if models predict the population growth will slow down and may turn to a decline after peaking 50 years from now, it feels quite rash to over-extrapolate and panic now about a potential eventual decline from the 15 billion peak to a genetic population bottleneck (1000-ish). The population would have to halve ~25 times which would take ~1000 years if it declined at a similar speed as it's been growing now.
State space?
Exactly. It’s been papered over with smaller housing groups (individuals) but at some point things just become empty and abandoned.

Even if plug is polarized (plug goes in only in 1 orientation), you can't assume any of the high voltage wires to be touch-safe. Wiring mistakes (swaps) can & do happen.

Who's "we" here? Each nation has their own local issues. What would help Japan may not help another country. Talking specifics does a lot of good.
Yes. In America the children are transported in motorized divisions.

The US is a little over double Japan’s population and has 4x the number of 18 year olds.
Overpopulation isn't really the issue.

Who pollutes the most? It's not poor country, but rich countries like the US.

The issue is really about our ecology and the effect of pollution have on our life support system.

We can even choose to create more ecological systems, if we choose, but don't.

Ultimately in the end, human population on this planet may be limited about the amount of heat that Earth can dissipate, once we solve pollution.
The timezone test is an interesting one I hadn't really considered until now. It was the only one that detected me as traveling internationally when using my home router's VPN.

Interestingly, Google One VPN is also not detected. I suspect that's due to Google intentionally sharing that IP range with Google Fi.

I think this is right, but it’s really a low predicted ROI. The problem is that we’re pretty bad at accurately predicting.
Assuming population growth can be infinite because our economic systems are built on the faulty assumption that it’s not only possible but necessary is something I will never understand.

Even the brightest minds don’t seem to be able to extrapolate their beliefs out to the logical conclusion that they’re describing a Ponzi scheme that will collapse eventually by definition.
I’m really just not someone people enjoy the company of or want to get to know or have around. Kind of my conclusion after 40 years of living in cities. Have tried all kinds of groups and programmes. Have tried putting in the interest but everyone I know or meet fades out, either quickly or slowly. Don’t have any family either, or a significant other.
So the only thing a human need is food? Nothing else? No desires? You think peoole in poorer countries wouldn't like all the goodies you get to enjoy?

Accounting overpopulation on food alone is just plain stupid.
What are you talking about? Fine tunes are basically just more of the same training, optionally on selected layers for efficiency.

I look at commit messages every day. I actually don't love a message that just describes the code change (I can figure that out on my own if I look at it long enough). That's fine for bigger or more misleading changes, but when I'm looking at blame/history I'm usually very aware of what the code is doing already. My question at those times is less about "what" and more about "why". Why was this change made? Sometimes that can be found by looking at accompanying tests (if the original author was so gracious), but if it's not in the commit (or only obtusely so, as many developers I know tend to commit in what I'll call "stream-of-consciousness" style) then I've got to go outside the codebase to research by interviewing people (assuming they're still around and remember) or trawling through our project management system to try and line up released features/fixes with the change. It quickly becomes an inexact science.

That said, in my experience, the larger an organization, the more commit messages get looked at. On my side projects where only 1-3 people are involved, commit messages only really show up on the PRs as things are going in. Sometimes we complete our own PRs to keep up the velocity since we're all working async part-time. Rarely if ever do we look back to figure out why we did something because the project is so small.
You told it to win and you're upset about the nature of its victory. I think what you're seeing isn't that computers are bad at chess but that chess isn't what you thought it was.

Has a thought today about where you're right on this. Where is the
value and why does it still not feel right for me.

Walls work both ways of course. So for the inhabitants of a walled
world an element of seclusion and protection is offered if they've
insecure needs. Indeed there are many network security companies
providing just this model.

Where I feel friction with this is in the latitude between benevolent
and malevolent protection, as in "protection racket"... to cultivate
dependency.

And that there's a difference between operating "in the world", and
operating in special, decoupled version of your own reality isolated
from everyone else which is fragmentary. So my objection comes from
there, if that makes sense? I just don't think it's good for the world
if we live in bubbles, some degree of mutual exposure is healthy for
society if not for business,
I'd be curious how quickly neurochemical stimulation levels reset to baseline, on order-of-hours scale.

Given that afaik tasks seeming "hard" can be a consequence of bathing in hyper-stimulation from media/games, thereby raising the "much be this stimulating" minimum about what normal tasks provide, does 30 minutes or an hour of boredom reset some of that?
Yeah, this thing requires a decent time commitment as it stands.

One of the ideas floating around is to make it so you do this by season instead, to make it a bit more "quick casual fun", rather than having to rank the entire show all at once. Scoring 180 Seinfeld episodes as a casual TV viewer isn't going to be a great experience.

Honestly, HN feedback has been immensely helpful, I couldn't be more thankful.
Change List. Similar to pull request I think.
"Change List", Perforce's name for the rough equivalent of a commit.

It's called a change list even though it's a single commit because Perforce tracks changes per file, so if you modify multiple files in a single commit, you are introducing a list of changes in their model.
Acquaintances perhaps, but I wouldn’t say actual friends. I could try it again though. I don’t/can’t use social media so when I got rid of that years ago, almost everyone I knew then went with it.
If you can figure out, you'd have bested all of modern philosophy. godspeed!
> Over-population would be a much more difficult problem to manage, I am not sure about the optimal human population for this planet, but I am fairly certain that a stable population is much better than a quickly growing one.

The environment isn't affected by "over-population" it's affected by environmental destruction and carbon emissions.

A lot of the developed countries where the populations are stabilizing or decreasing are already causing disproportionate environmental destruction and carbon emissions, especially if you factor in the effects in other countries caused by producing products that people in the developed countries are consuming.

> Quick decline can also be an issue at some point, but in my opinion there is a tight relationship between population density and the housing market, the latter acting as a bottleneck, and if I am right the whole thing should be self-correcting.

It may be counterintuitive, but having people concentrated in denser urban areas actually reduces the environmental impact overall. If the housing market leads to more people moving out of cities, that will actually increase the environmental damage.
The output is "word salad" because the probabilities of the model are uniform, albeit implicitly- eyballing the python, it selects the next n-gram uniformly at random. A better n-gram model would calculate the probability of an n-gram following another n-gram according to their frequency in the training corpus. With a larger corpus and better training techniques (some smoothing for one thing) you'd get much more coherent output.

And of course, if you trained a gigantic model on the entire web, then you'd get a very smooth approximation of the text in the corpus and very fluent, grammatical output. So basically, an LLM.

>> As many know and point out, this idea is now very old (40+ years?).

More like 110 years. Markov Chains were proposed in 1913 (by Markov) and popularised by Shannon in 1948 (in "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", the work that introduced information theory):

The underlying mathematics of the n-gram was first proposed by Markov (1913),
who used what are now called Markov chains (bigrams and trigrams) to predict
whether an upcoming letter in Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin would be a vowel or a con-
sonant. Markov classified 20,000 letters as V or C and computed the bigram and
trigram probability that a given letter would be a vowel given the previous one or
two letters. Shannon (1948) applied n-grams to compute approximations to English
word sequences. Based on Shannon’s work, Markov models were commonly used in
engineering, linguistic, and psychological work on modeling word sequences by the
1950s. In a series of extremely influential papers starting with Chomsky (1956) and
including Chomsky (1957) and Miller and Chomsky (1963), Noam Chomsky argued
that “finite-state Markov processes”, while a possibly useful engineering heuristic,
were incapable of being a complete cognitive model of human grammatical knowl-
edge. These arguments led many linguists and computational linguists to ignore
work in statistical modeling for decades.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220522005827/https://web.stanf...

(Note the usual shaking of angry fists at Chomsky. The NLP community continued on its path anyway, and built smooth, fluent generators of total bullshit and absolutely no progress towards a "cognitive model of human grammatical knowledge").
Exponential growth works just as well in reverse - the point is that our current social structures seem incompatible with even replacement levels of child birth.

And that is before we consider the effects of the second order transition (i.e. going from a growing population to a shrinking population). That in itself wrecks things like pension provision.
