If you assume the complexity of an elements grows linearly with the number of states it can assume (e.g. if complexity of a bit is 2a then complexity of a trit is 3a). Then the total complexity of for example representing a number N is log{N}_{B} \times B \times a. Minimizing this with respect to B yields B=e.
This is fascinating. Have you seen any evidence yet of it being picked up? Are you using visible text and hidden text? I understand you are likely to elaborate too much, but other thoughts and insights you are willing to share would be great.

(Also, are you doing it algorithmicly? Does it make sense to do it as an open source project and get more like-minded collaborators? Are you seeing any evidence out there of others doing this, especially for commercial interests where I’d (sadly) expect this at this point by the cutting edge SEO crowd.)

> A few decades from now, I think Lynch's Dune will be looked upon more favorably than the recent films.

By whom? Lynch's has been out for decades and is at 6.3:

* https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/

Villeneuve's is currently at 8.0:

* https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1160419/

The RT for each are at 44% and 83%:

* https://www.rottentomatoes.com/search?search=Dune

Even with recency bias, do you think their scores will change much in 20+ years?

The recent one was so "indistinguishable" from recent sci-fi movies it won Best Original Score, Sound, Film Editing, Cinematography, Production Design, and Visual Effects:

I share those values, but you're sidestepping all the difficult issues that arise when a society becomes polarised.

Opinionated AIs could discuss anything that people are allowed to discuss and have any opinion that a person could have. In the US and many other liberal democracies, that includes demanding changes to the law and changes to the constitution.

It includes discussing or even promoting religious beliefs that in some interpretations amount to a form of theocracy that completely contradicts our values. Same for other utopian or historical forms of society that disagree with the current consensus.

There are two ways in which polarised societies can clash. One is to disagree on which specific acts violate shared values and how to respond to that. And the other is to disagree on the values themselves. An opinionated AI could take any side in such debates.

I agree with you that AIs will probably have to be allowed to be opinionated. I'm just not sure wether we mean the same thing by that. Any regulation will have to take into account that these opinions will not always reflect current mainstream thinking. In the US, it might even be a violation of the First Amendment to restrict them in the way you suggest.

Would you allow an AI to have an opinion on the subject of assisted suicide in connection with the hippocratic oath? Would it be allowed to argue against the right to bear arms? Or would it depend on how this opinion is distributed, who funds the AI, why it has that opinion?

Both versions of your code generate the same polynomials (i.e., rows of the table), but in a different order.

The order doesn't affect psst. This is why each page of the worksheet shows the polynomials in the order that's most convenient for the situation at hand.

The only place where the order matters is in choosing which dice throw is assigned to which polynomial. In psst, the dice throws correspond to share #1.

At work we have a social gathering run by different groups each week. They put up posters.

The past year it’s been very obvious the poster images are ai generated. It’s not like they’re going to hire artist to do this poster…

The older posters were know for sometimes being topical and sometime ingenious (movie poster photoshops where clever).

Now they have better custom images, but custom bland art. I guess it’s better than just clip art.

It's not a joke. e is theoretically the most efficient base. Of course you can't actually have fractional bases so the most efficient real base (again, theoretically) is 3.

This paper is just showing that with real technology it's still less efficient than 2. I don't think anyone was really suggesting that we switch to base 3 hardware so it's a completely academic result, but still interesting.
It doesn't matter what the voltage levels represent ([-1,0,1] in balanced ternary or [0,1,2] in "normal" ternary). The only thing that matters is that you're working with 3 voltage levels instead of 2, which as the paper shows increases the circuit complexity above the "break even" point of log(3)/log(2).

> There are at least three different pharmacological ways to induce hallucinations: (1) activation of dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) with psychostimulants, (2) activation of serotonin 5HT2A receptors (HT2ARs) with psychedelics, and (3) blockage of glutamate NMDA receptors (NMDARs) with dissociative anesthetics.

I’m always surprised when the kappa-opioid pathway (salvinorin A) is overlooked. It produces very distinctive hallucinations. I lack the personal experience to judge, but I think it’s phenomenalogically distinct from other dissociate experiences. It should be easier to research given that Salvia diviniorum and its constituents are not controlled federally nor in many states.

It's so polished and so Carlin like that I am skeptical about the claim that it was made by AI. There is probably more editing involved than implied by the way that is described. But still, very well polished and a great impression of Carlin. Also interesting commentary.

I developed a cool piece of software that helps potential users a lot and I want to expose it and bring a lot of traffic and acknowledgement before I launch it in order to stay motivated and keep going in with it once backend and frontend is done and I have a feeling that I do not succeed telling the motivation and the story of my product since I don’t have the abilities telling it interestingly enough. Why am I so boring?

Here are a few ideas to build the next great analytics tool, these are the main reasons why I build my own little tool for my websites:

1. Find a way to also count users with Ad Blocker. Google Analytics and even Plausible (unless when self hosted) don't track users with an Ad Blocker.

2. Show how many users are using an Ad Blocker, this is a very important metric when a site is relying on ad revenue. It turned out that 30-33% of my traffic was using an Ad Blocker, which prompted me to implement a fallback where I show the user a banner with an affiliate link instead.

3. Offer an unlimited free tier, under the condition that a summary of the stats is visible to everyone, a bit like Github used to work. Users can then hide to make their stats private.
As a Carlin and comedy mega fan, I'd be interested in what you consider a joke in there. Personally, this is the sound of hell. There's no soul, no humor, and only the presence of fake laughter to imply where the jokes are supposed to be.
It appears like. Since ai doesnt create art, it relies on someone else’s work to generate novel looking content. But by looking carefully you can see the hundreds of intermixed originals and most important the unique styles they’ve stolen. Pretty sad how ai has been overtaken by sociopaths.
I wouldn't make as strong a claim as the parent comment myself, but someone pointed out to me recently that A/B testing is really similar to cold reading. Is it morally equivalent to suggest to someone, in bad faith, that you're able to deliver messages from their dead loved ones, and to perform an A/B test of switching around menu items or change up some language to try and get fewer people to abandon their carts?

I lean towards "no" but I have trouble either accepting or rejecting the proposition. It's hard for me to say that A/B testing is done in bad faith, but it's also hard for me to say it's entirely unmanipulative, either.

[name redacted] started a few months before Plausible.

Giving it away for free didn't help, but "making money" was never really a goal as such. I think "being free" is important if you want to be a viable alternative for Google Analytics. €9/month is nothing for a business, but who is paying that for a blog or hobby site (or even some small businesses)?

I already decided a few years ago that "covers hosting" is good enough. It's just that circumstances conspired to put in this rather uncomfortable position.
>The rules are different for official product names though.

Your argument about "official product names" seems inconsistently applied.

In your first paragraph, Nintendo® and Lego® are registered trademarks with the government and therefore, "official product names":

>I agree people should be allowed to colloquially call it whatever they want. Nobody will be there to stop parents from call their kids' PS5 a nintendo or calling mega blocks legos.

If people can colloquially re-use "Nintendo" to label any game console from Sony/Microsoft/Sega, why is colloquially using "champagne" to describe sparkling wine that's not from France a different scenario?

EDIT to reply: >The point makeitdouble is making is that it’s fine for people to use the term generically, but products shouldn’t use the name generically.[...], but Sony can’t call their next console a “Nintendo”.

The isolated subthread with grandparents (saagarjha, Brybry) that makeitdouble and you are replying in is talking about language usage and not corporations' product branding:

- saagarjha --> "It’s mostly genericized at this point." : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38979031

- Brybry --> "That only matters legally. In actual language usage, [...]" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38979180

Brybry is actually already agreeing with your Sony example and that comment gets downvoted? Both saagarjha and Brybry have stated correct facts about how language is used in the wild so what exactly are people downvoting? I'm truly confused.

Again, the context of the subthread is language usage and not about breaking France & EU legal rules around "Champagne".

"Is it even possible to check everything"

Yes. It is possible to check everything.
We've been manufacturing now for centuries. There are absolutely techniques, methodologies, organizational structures, all to prevent this.

That this is happening is purely cost cutting. Accountants balancing lives against pennies. Just like automakers would do calculations to determine the cost of installing seat belts against potential lawsuits. Nobody cares about lives, it was simply a calculation based on potential lawsuits.

Notice, it is totally possible to check everything. There was never a problem with our ability to prevent deaths, it was just too expensive. Because lives are actually cheap. MOLOCH.

There's a management system that assigns IPs automatically, written in-house in the late 2000s, but yes, anything there can be manually overridden. He was probably diagnosing something earlier and forgot to clean up. Meanwhile, new students moved in I guess.

Missing IPv4 addresses are not reported as some systems are left IPv6-only intentionally. It's a dorm network, but it's sort-of a research project at the same time. It is also run by students themselves (there's a "student's union") and the school does not pay or maintain the dorm's infrastructure.

I know alerting is done for some things, but not for the individual student's machine. This is different for every dorm, but in this case, a wired symmetrical gigabit connection is provided to every member student, public IPv4 and IPv6 included. The only restriction is to not download torrents, besides that, pretty much anything can be arranged, including opening port 25, routing additional IPv6 prefixes, hosting...

It's a very free environment is what I'm getting at.

I'm familiar with this definition but find it lacking. It has utility as a working definition for gesturing towards a desirable goal. My problem with such a definition is that it doesn't clarify anything, it basically shifts the problem over to one where human or animal intelligence is treated as a magical black box. Sorry if this comes off as a bit pedantic, I understand that research into new and unknown fields can take a while before landing on more accurate and unambiguous definitions.
2 line explanation of where e comes from here: to represent a number x in base b, you need roughly log_b(x) digits. If you weight that by the number of different digits in base b, you get b * log_b(x) = b * log(x)/log(b) = b/log(b) * log(x) (where now the log is any base you care to choose).

So assuming x > 1, this is minimized precisely when b/log(b) is minimized. The derivative of b/log(b) is (log(b) - log(e))/log(b)^2, so this is zero when b = e. (The second derivative is 1/(e log(e)) > 0, so this is a minimum).

This is not true. There is a fairly strong correlation between formal education and ability as a developer, and I say this as someone with close to 2 decades of experience in the problem space. A CS/STEM degree, as degree quality (where the degree was obtained), makes an enormous difference in the average case.

People who say the opposite are thinking of developers, often themselves, who were able to become skilled without a CS degree. That is indeed quite possible, and I've met many individuals in this category. I'm not going to say the best developers I've met had no degree, but I've met great developers without a degree. But I wouldn't say it is common; most developers without a CS/STEM degree whom I've met were, indeed, mediocre engineers that often had no business being there.

I've also met many poor developers from great schools and great developers from schools with poor reputation. But, as a thought experiment, if I was to pick a developer based solely on whether they have a degree and where they got this degree, lacking any other piece of information, I'd always pick the ones with a degree from a reputable school.

The tables are public knowledge. Memorizing them does not give you any extra security. It might hide the fact that you are using psst. This might make you less of a target for attacks (but probably has a very small or zero effect). It also increases the chance that your secret is lost, for example when your shares are accidentally thrown in the trash because they look like random pieces of paper.

For your other question: There is no weakness when using psst for long messages. That said, weaknesses can be introduced if you don't follow the protocol properly. For example, if you use the same dice throws for more than one psst instance, the system is no longer secure.

This page has further examples for things that could go wrong: https://github.com/Sjlver/psst/blob/main/docs/what-can-go-wr...

I don't see why it needs to be anything so grandiose. I'm not griping at you, per se, I just don't understand why psychedelics enthusiasts consistently bang the metaphysical drum, as opposed to dedicating themselves to a rational and clear-headed understanding of the phenomenon.

Now, obviously, there are various levels of schmess. Many might say, "but look at the complexity of thought of these cultural artifacts surrounding psychedelics!" to which I'd say that, much like St. Anselm's ontological argument (which is poor reasoning, absurd on its face, and yet still more coherent than most psychedelic-induced metaphysical rants), the complexity of thought involved means nothing if it can not be grounded in the everyday experience of a shared, external, objective space.

Let's not reinvent religion and cults with psychedelics; let's look at this pivotal moment in time as a chance for us enthusiasts to encourage society to move beyond such poor modes of reasoning.

Also: I see shit on LSD, but I know it's not real. I'm hallucinating but not delusional, whereas e.g. datura produces both hallucinations and delusion.
