Not cost effective or too buggy?
Why does that upset you?

Children should be protected against airborne transmittable sickness.

Also, we are still in COVID it's not over.
The optimal admount of fraud attempts is zero. Given that's impossible, one should not attempt to eradicate fraud or else you'll do nothing but seek it out.
I think it is in part rooted in the difference between committing fraud and detecting that there is fraud. They're entirely different things and the misunderstanding results from the fact that. It is indeed very interesting how deeply hardwired this sort of thing is.
The first video linked in the OP is astonishing to me, a layperson with no medical training.

Good lord, this sounds desperate.
If you are competitive with a naturally low hematocrit level you have more “headroom” for doping to unnaturally boost your performance, and vice-versa.

Lance had a naturally low hematocrit for a road cyclist, which made him respond disproportionately strongly to EPO. He’d have been mediocre off the sauce in a clean field. The end.
What a strange response. It's perfectly acceptable for someone to enjoy card games while not enjoying physically handling cards.
Interesting. In the few states I looked, there were no PPO plans (including by BCBS). As for hospitals, I guess it's important to know which hospitals are in network near home and anywhere you might be traveling?

Usually in an emergency I don't have the presence of mind to direct the ambulance to the right hospital (in case the emergency turns into an overnight stay), and it's all the more important if the plan doesn't have good (or any) out of network benefits.
I use this workflow on my Mac all the time and don't remember having to change this setting. Could it be because I don't have iCloud set up?
This is precisely the issue. Why try to spin this at all? There must be something preventing him from simply "fixing the glitch" and everyone moving on: it's obviously money.

The impression I get is that Carta is not a viable business on its current (any?) valuation without this angle. Which then means no one in their right mind should be dealing with them.
> Buffett’s Big Bet is by far the largest bet on Long Bets. The previous largest Long Bet was one for $20,000 between Mitch Kapor and Ray Kurzweil. The two prominent thinkers were betting whether an AI would pass the Turing Test by 2029. Ray was certain an AI would pass muster by then and Kapor was sure it would not get close. (Incidentally, Kapor told me recently he’s willing to double, triple, or quadruple the bet with Ray, or anyone else betting on an AI by 2029.)

Can we say that ChatGPT passes the Turing test?
I am very much excited for a future workable implemtation.

1. I would much rather the opposite. Were these to be widespread like phones, id far prefer a virtual communual display all can see that when not in usage does not dictate the needs and layout of my living room the other 99% of the time not to mention the space it eats in my home. (In this case Im imagining that like the vision pro, I have pretty much full world visibility to still freely engage with those around me.)

2. This sould seem to vary upon the individual. I have no such issues today, but I know others that do, though no more than the amount of people who claim fatigue and eye strain from LCD.

3. Id rather have it be in my natural field of vision and leave my hands free. Having your hands free alone would be the complete opposite of "worse in nearly every way." for many practical applications of VR.

4. See above.

The thing is though, I already wear glasses. So give it another decade or two and give me something thats almost the same size but with significantly more capabilities? Sign me up. If you aint already that way inclined, then sure, I could see the potential objections to wearing something all the time.
This article made me wonder if dyspraxia was related to impaired or inhibited cerebellum function. A cursory search yields at least one article supports the idea:

I would think fridge is RAM, L2 is table, L1 is plate. (I am deliberately ignoring the pun potential for Cold Storage.)

But other than bickering about the exact mapping, I don't see the problem with that analogy?
It will be fascinating to see if AMD's open source ML platform beats Nvidia's closed one. (Usually, the more open platform becomes more popular.)

"[And no further.]" This musing couldn't be appreciated without (historically) grossly wasteful computing. It's marginal whether you could justify India's green revolution on the premise of the article.

Reminds me of KSR's pessimism in "Ministry for the Future".

I'm glad we got mobile phones and computers, to help us tabulate and appreciate this disparity, before we prevent further useless use of resources.
I tried for years to use these type of phones.

I need Signal… so it had to be an Android phone. I also need a good map app, and Spotify.

I tried many of these phones, and they all had 2 main problems: poor build quality (random shutdown, compass failing, random android bugs), and bad bluetooth, making it impossible to use headphones (I even tried to use wired headphones, but then, there's no wired earbuds with active noise cancelling).

The only phones that were "good enough" were the 4" Unihertz Pocket and the 3" Jelly.

But the bluetooth situation was unbearable (cracking noises, sync issues), and some hardware problems just made me anxious (couldn't rely on the phone to wake up, or going on a hike).

I just ended up getting a Zenfone 8, which is a massive phone, but considered the smallest. It's way too big for me, and does way too many things. But… there's no other options sadly.

> In this day and age one can only wonder how the american armed forces will deal with this problem in a scenario where the military struggles to attract and retain their talent

There is no “in this day” to it. Skill degradation has been a problem since antiquity. It’s why the best armies were those that were fighting; there is no replacement for the real deal.
The armed forces might just build new missiles. It's not like cost has often been a constraint for them.
Did you use the American bald eagle wingspan (latitudinal) length or the length (longitudinal) of the said bald eagle from the tip of the beak to the end of the tail in your calculations?

Considering the length of an American football field to be 109.73 metres (120 yards), and an average wingspan for the bald eagle to be 2 metres (approximately 6.7 feet), only 107 bald eagles would equate to the length of a single football field.

However, if you used an average longitudinal length of 86.5 cm for the American bald eagle, one football field would equate to approximately 127 bald eagles in length, and then you have a rounding error that has crept into your calculations.
There’s less than no shame in not having expertise in something outside of your area of expertise, and realizing that’s the case puts you way ahead of the pack. There’s a reason most designers you work with have relevant degrees, and the ones that don’t that are in high level positions in good organizations might as well have them— it’s just a lot more complex than most developers assume. When they realize that, great! When they’re swinging around giant Dunning-Krueger derived overconfident declarations about something you’re designing… not so great.

As a full-time developer for a decade, and in other technical roles for a decade before that, I had a few similar experiences with designers. One repeatedly insisted that Wordpress along with their ramshackle loopdy-looped spaghetti php plugin (still including comments from the tutorials they copied tidbits of code from) was robust enough to enough to replace our very tight Django-based code base that did a hell of a lot more than serve up our website… but they insisted it would take half as long to reimplement it all in php. There wasn’t even a good reason for it– they learned everything they knew about development by osmosis from working on web projects, and a mishmash of articles they read on the topic over the years, and after getting one piece of code to work in a low volume application, thought they were a dual-field specialist. That’s actually pretty rare among designers, but developers that feel that way about design are the norm. We all know what Larry Wall thought the three most important traits were for developers…
Yea; I think this is one of the times where terms of art matter. "Optimal" here doesn't mean like "It would be optimal for me if I had infinite money", it's a term of art in fields like economics that describes the best case of the available variables.

This is how we end up going back and forth between "the optimal amount of fraud is non-zero" and "it would be optimal to have no fraud". Economics has to live with the world that exists, and there is no plausible combo of variables where people who are about to attempt fraud are instantly evaporated into dust.
This lukewarm "mea culpa" does not sound very convincing.

It seems like somebody got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and is suddenly "shocked and appalled."

A one-time, accidental "internal breach of protocol" breached what should be an iron-clad firewall? Okay.
The problem the article poses is actually not one of diverting costs, despite how GP's metaphor would indicate... It's that with fraud, only the most draconian systems can be effective at stopping all fraud.

In the above metaphor, it's more like guard rails are already in place, the speed limit is 1/10th a reasonably safe velocity, and the only way you can stop the remaining death-every-decade is to make everyone walk the road instead of driving it, and guarded so that you don't encounter any strangers along the way either. Very safe. But now nobody even wants to take this road. But it's so safe! Zero deaths, no injuries, ever.

Sure, the expenses/value argument can be made, too, but that's not ultimately what makes it nonzero. Even if you had limitless resources to apply to the anti-fraud, the only way you're getting nonzero fraud is if a large amount of legitimate customers are inconvenienced or outright denied as well. This is due to how easily fraudsters can still find processes and marks to make it worth their time, and regulations + policies are ever evolving to keep up, but a lot of it comes down to a cost/benefit analysis by the business. The internet just scales this up by several orders of magnitude too.
> the SLBM fleet alone

There are fewer SLBMs and they’re more expensive (and difficult) to maintain. Were I forced to wager, I’d bet on a given SLBM failing over an ICBM. Balancing that are the larger number of ICBMs, and the fact that nobody wants to wager.

I'm old enough to understand when you find this many ways at this length to not say the simple thing, its not because you're being transparent. Despite the length.

The tweet about 4,000 employees losing their jobs due to clout chaser or whatever gave me two thoughts:

- 4,000 employees?!!??!

- it is likely they had already internalized all this as "that's what we do to keep the company running".
The simplest answer is they wanted to make money because they thought the stock was over valued. It is probably not due to EVs or Telsa specifically. Some people made a lot of money from it recently. From the article:

> The losses by short sellers are a stark contrast to a year ago, when shorts made a $15.9 billion profit on Tesla shares as the company’s stock lost 65% of the value.

But I'm also not sure where this idea of a whale short seller is coming from. With $13bn in losses almost entirely in 6 months, I would have to imagine there's just some riskier institutional investors.

Another way to look at it is they made it cheaper for people who are bullish on tesla to buy stock.
> Buffet's bet is common sense.

It wasn't popular common sense until buffet and Bogle proved it.
I have to admit the free to play games irritate me. I generally don’t want to play online at all. If I do I want to play with my friends only and no random people.
I agree. It's a self-serving failure of the imagination to believe that fraud and usability are intertwined. My issue with this kind of big corporate thinking is that it's often rooted in neglect and it harms real people by the millions.

Also, it fails to consider that corporations (or any entity which operates at the kind of scale suggested by the author) may not be optimal economic constructs for a society to begin with. Society worked fine before corporations and arguably was far more efficient given technological shortcomings. Think of how much human time was wasted on data entry, physically searching for documents in large archives, travelling between home and work on foot or by horse, doing accounting with pen and paper, manual farming, primitive irrigation systems, no synthetic fertilizer, etc, etc... Now that we've freed up people from all that work, how come everyone is busier than ever and yet there are so many poor people?

I think it doesn't make sense to look at our modern economic system as a model of efficiency, instead, I think it should be studied as a model of economic parasitism.

We shouldn't conflate efficiency driven by technology with other aspects of the socio-economic system which are canceling out much of that efficiency.
Russia’s arms industry is largely domestic. They can always pay for domestic labor and materials in Rubles so money, by which you presumably mean dollars, isn’t a constraint.

“Turing test” is a generic phrase. You’ll likely need to see the details of the initial bet to be able to answer that.
The fact that journalists are so dependent on their union is going to be a major conflict of interest when they cover politically relevant news. They should disclose their union affiliation when reporting on such news.

>>asked whether he believed he would have gotten his job back without SAG-AFTRA involvement, Sleiman said, “No. No, I would have been screwed completely, because Pennsylvania is an at-will state, so they could have just fired me and that would have been the end of it. The fact that it’s a union shop is actually the whole reason I was able to fight back at all.”
They are specifically betting the stock will go down. That could be for a number of reasons and from the article, shorting was slightly profitable in the second half of the year. Perhaps around Cybertruck news.
Writing documentation requires communication and collaboration with engineering. As you add people to an organization, you also add meetings, bureaucracy, and various other encumbrances. Not to mention that the technology to be documented needs to be done or done-ish, which is difficult when you're shipping major updates yearly!

Besides, how large do you think the talent pool is of good documentation writers? I would estimate that it's actually harder to find good technical doc writers than it is to find good programmers.

1) The minimum qualifications for a good API doc writer is practical experience programming with the technology to be documented. That already narrows the field significantly. You can't just a hire a comp sci grad straight out of college.

2) Indeed, a comp sci grad straight out college probably wouldn't want the job anyway. A lot of people aspire to be programmers, because it seems cool, fun, and has excellent compensation. Not many people aspire to become doc writers as a career.

3) The compensation for doc writers is generally lower than for programmers, so if you're already an experienced programmer per 1, then why would you take a step down?

4) The natural retort is going to be, "Just pay doc writers more!" But that's not going to work for several reasons. First, the programmers will be unhappy if the doc writers are paid more than them. Second, companies don't value doc writers as much. Third, once you get off the programmer career track and write docs, it can be difficult or impossible to get back on the programmer career track if you ever want or need to leave Apple. In general, the market is not huge or lucrative.

What you tend to get for documentation writers, then, is often older programmers who are starting to experience age discrimination, finding it harder to get a programming job, so they settle for writing API documentation. But that's not a huge pool of available workers.
A lot of the confusion and anxiety will melt away if we distinguish the terms “optimal” and “desirable”.

The most desirable amount of fraud, corruption or tax evasion is zero.

In the real world we don’t get what we desire. The closest we can came is to the optimal amount, where the marginal cost has to equal the marginal benefit.
Why do none of these apps allow you to set the system prompt? I find these LLM apps kind of useless without being able to refine the way in which the model will respond to later questions.
If the question was about AGI or sentience or whatever else then we could debate it endlessly, but there is no doubt that the Turing Test was solved by computers well before ChatGPT was even a thing. Although that says more about the shortcomings of the test itself rather than the capabilities of AI.
Just a small thing if it helps someone; you don't pay bail to avoid pretrial detention, you're paying to get out of it. I.e. you can't bail out if you aren't in jail.

Even if you do bail out, you still have to be processed, get your fingerprints done, mugshots, whatever.

This may change if you're someone notable, but for us run of the mill people, the police won't call to say "pay bail or well arrest you". You get arrested and then pay bail, in that order.

VO2 Max isn't a particularly good predictor of road cycling race results. Athletes can only sustain their VO2 Max output for about 7 minutes (plus or minus). But stage winners tend to be either sprinters with high anaerobic power output, or climbers who can sustain a high aerobic power-to-weight ratio for much longer than 7 minutes. All pro cyclists have relatively high VO2 Max metrics but this is more incidental rather than something that they specifically train much.
