Btw, just to be a bit more constructive (not by much) the proper term for what DeepMind did is "neuro-symbolic AI". But DeepMind shunned the term even for AlphaGO, a system comprised of a couple of neural nets and Monte-Carlo Tree Search.

The whole thing is just political: DeepMind use neural nets, GOFAI is dead and that's the way to AI. That's their story and they're sticking with it.
So what solution are you proposing?

Right now, you’re simply complaining about a perceived problem without offering any logical argument for an alternative.

I do not mean to sound flippant, I’d like to hear what your alternative ideas are.
Presumably the people who control the data links between population centers could just cut off the Internet, no? Doesn't that largely defeat the anti-censorship advantages of something like this?
Here is mine but may only help as they get older:

- You want them to find something that they enjoy a lot as they grow.

- Giving them something they are responsible for is unbelievably important. I have seen that lack of responsibility can lead to anxiety and much worse.

- Every age has it's challenges and benefits. I have fond memories for when the kids were young but don't think I could handle it at my age. Teenage years involved a lot of serious issues.

Eh.... this kinda just feels like a very surface level description of things that happen in online conversation, and doesn't really explain or analyze anything.

This is very very strongly not a concern for physics. Banach-Tarski and similar "paradoxes" require dividing things up into unmeasurable sets. These sets are pretty wild and aren't ever going to turn up when you're doing physics.

Speaking as a physicist, we don't care at all about stuff like Banach-Tarski, and there is essentially zeo expectation that stuff like ZF vs ZFC will have any impact on physics.

Really just the weird mix of xml and code

RAG is a hack for lots of reasons, but the reason I'm focused on at the moment is the pipeline.

Say you are trying to do RAG in a chat-type application. You do the following:

1) Summarize the context of chat into some text that is suitable for a search (lossy).

2) Turn this into a vector embedded in a particular vector space.

3) Use this vector to query a vector database, which returns reference to documents or document fragments (which themselves have been indexed as a lossy vector).

4) Take the text of these fragments and put them in the context of the LLM as input.

5) Modify the prompt to explain what these fragments are.

6) Then the prompt is sent to the LLM, which turns it into it's own vector representation.

An obvious improvement to this is that the VectorDB and the LLM should share an internal representation, and the VectorDB should understand this. The LLM should take this vector input as a second input alongside the text context and the LLM should combine them (in the same way you can put a text and image into a multi-modal model)

Not very likely. Spinoza lived in the 1600s, and European knowledge of classical and pre-classical Indian thought didn't really take off until about the late 1700s. On the Upanishads in particular, there was apparently a translation of some of them into Persian in the 1600s, but Spinoza would have had no exposure to that. A translation into Latin came along in the late 1700s.
If you can afford to buy physical media, that is the alternative here if you’re worried about the rug being pulled from under you.

I'm not sure if Spinoza did or did not have access to Hindu/Buddhist thought but at least Schopenhauer was influenced by the Upanishads. I also think it is reasonable to see connections in some themes in the Upanishads to the transcendental idealism of Kant.
I'm a native Dutch (Flemish) speaker. For me 'Niksen' means you're doing something without intent/purpose and with low importance. You can watch a movie, just because you don't know what to do and you're filling the time, maybe your mind is wandering to other things while watching. Or you can watch a movie because you want to see it, like going to the movies instead of watching at home. Only the former is 'Niksen'.

'Puttering' is an English term which I feel is closely related to 'Niksen' but not exactly the same. With 'Puttering' there's always an action. But with 'Niksen' you can be sitting in a chair, looking around, 'doing nothing'.

I would even argue that meditation is not 'Niksen', because with meditation there's intent. It's actively calming yourself down.
I think these things are cyclical, I can think of many previous protest cycles with farmers being aggressive. Different countries have different protest cultures of course.
Same here. Bard is not a sexy name. Gemini is way more sexy. (Neither is ChatGPT, or Google though either). I can't wait until we can call the assistant whatever we want, like Jarvis.
The point -- which I don't think you got -- is that extremely generic ingredients like high-quality data (which is the point of Stockfish here) and very deep Transformer-type Neural Networks, are enough to nearly match the performance of ad-hoc, non-generalisable techniques like gametree search algorithms.

This has two possible applications: 1. There's far less need to invent techniques like MCTS in the first place. 2. A single AI might be able to play grandmaster level chess by accident.

The catch is you need high quality data in large amounts.
False equivalency. Trump's team obstructed the investigation and is currently arguing in court that they have a right to the piles of documents they took.
I see that angle, but those two things are complementary, not identical. It's not a clone of me — it's something that I ask questions of because I don't know the answer.

He's redefining sophistry.

1 is anecdotal fallacy. 2 and 3 are reframing.

I'd say all are forms of confirmation bias, but that requires good faith in debating. The point of all modern internet discourse is to "win" by any means available, not to debate with respect for logic and reason. (Or even Truth.)

Every high schooler figures out you can cite any source remotely related to your topic and write an essay making the exact opposite point. It goes unchecked so it becomes normalized.

Since the internet is overrun with overeducated adult children, we're now predictably plagued with fallacious discourse and fraud.

I am an infrequent traveler but part of my pre-travel routine is checking the guidelines the day before, and making sure I'm following them, because I abhor being That Person. And even following the guidelines to a T, I always get selected for the extra scan, because I am constantly cold, and wear sweatshirts - not even jackets with metal zippers, just sweatshirts. Apparently armpit heat is suspicious. And the last time that happened, the scanner decided it was so suspicious that I warranted an additional pat-down, and had to wait a quarter hour before a female TSA agent finally showed up. My traveling buddy went through the basic line and came out way ahead of me.

Could you explain what you think Gibbs style vectors have to do with Banach-Tarski or the axiom of choice?

As an aside, I'd like to emphasise that geometric algebra gives exactly the same physics outcomes as doing the maths with vectors or tensors or whatever else you like. The difference is essentially just notation. Some things look prettier.
Those sound like cases where you would have heightened expectation of an important anonymous call. If that's not the case, and you must always maintain a high expectation of an important anonymous call, then I don't know what you can do. I guess that's how the telephone was, say, 70 years ago.

That actually makes me wonder: how, if at all, is this different from creating a government agency or non-profit corporation or whatever, giving it ownership of the river, and chartering it to protect the river?

Such an entity would have the same "legal personhood" rights, and its leadership / officers would do pretty much the same thing as the "guardians" discussed in the article. And it avoids all the goofy questions of whether the river itself can be guilty of strict-liability offenses or liable for flooding damage or whatever.
> Are you in agreement with this as far as it goes? Do you agree with my premise that we can predict what will happen when we react H and O?

I do agree with the second premise, but I'd say that's just saying we have a really good map for that particular area of the terrain. If you're going to your aunt's and you have a really good map, you're not going to show up in hong kong (I'm mapping the example onto your hydrogen-oxygen case).

But fundamentally, "the laws of physics" are still information as digested by the human brain. At one point our map of physics didn't include relativity. Now it does. The terrain did, but the map didn't.

With this in mind, it's crucial to remember that our current map has nearly no information about consciousness. It's like you have really detailed information about your aunt's neighbor in Chicago, and you know that Hong Kong exists and is Eastward. So you just assume that it's a straight road. Someone might suggest there's a few mountains in the way, but fundamentally you have no idea how to actually connect both points of the map.

Materliasm is essentially that to me, looking at the very detailed map of current physics, wiping their hands and saying yup that should be enough, it's a straight line from here.

>Surely the fundamental fact is existence?

I try to refrain from making an observer-observation distinction. To quote Krishnamurti "the observer is the observed".

Moving the discussion in this direction feels like another map, the map of logic. Within the framework of logic, I do agree with those terms. However, I don't think reality obeys logic in so much as logic is another way for us to make sense of the phenomena around us.

I hope I don't annoy you by another analogy: Imagine we're watching a wolf and his cub, and I ask which comes first. You say the father of course, because he was born earlier. This is true. However, I was asking which of them was ahead, that is in the present moment which of them will arrive first. You were answering from knowledge, not from direct observation.

Maps, models, and logic, are within the realm of thoughts. But experientially, without following and validating the narrative of thoughts, can you directly observe that there is existence without observation? Your thoughts will immediately tell you that this is already a contradiction: can you observe that there is no observer? Can you discern in your own experience "this is observation", "this is existence". Could they be one and the same?

This is where I'm coming from. Thank you for engaging in these topics which are tricky to discuss :)
> As editor-in-chief of Science....Generally, I start with the corresponding editors' summaries, which are meant for someone like me: a science generalist who is interested in everything but dives deeply only into one field. Next, I check to see if someone wrote a News article on the paper. Third, I check to see if there is a Perspective by another scientist.

This says so much about the volume of absolute crap that gets published in Science. No competent editor-in-chief should be looking to the news media to give background on a research topic.
A New Attempt at Async Device Shutdown Support for Linux
You should stop thinking your partisan view points are facts. This is the core doctrine of every American conservative, it isn’t a refutable claim. You can make the case that the elected politicians are corrupt and do not follow through on promises, in which case you won’t find many conservatives that disagree.
Glossed over: merged /usr broken all sorts of tooling.

For example, `command -V sh` now returns `/usr/bin/sh`, which is not `/bin/sh`. Among other things this means it is no longer possible to generate shebangs and have them actually work on similar systems.

Also, `dpkg -S` is now completely broken for the common case where its argument is the result of the above or `realpath`, and the two parties who are collectively responsible just say "screw you" to the other instead of fixing things.

As a result, every single package-checking script out there has to now do a dance:

* does the requested path start with /bin/ or /usr/bin/, /sbin/ or /usr/sbin/, /lib* or /usr/lib?
If so, check both. This can requires significant refactoring.
* Otherwise, fall back to the old code that used to work unconditionally.

(I'm only familiar with Debian's breakage but I expect most other distros have similar breakage)
This is my biggest fear - that my password app is hacked. What if the real LastPass (or KeePass, or whatever) dev had a gun held to his head to add code to upload credentials to somewhere, and then signs and uploads the legitimate app. Open source doesn’t help - dev just doesn’t check in the changes. Reproducible builds and open source help in theory, but how many people go to that length if it’s even possible? I don’t.

I did get the point and I'm commenting that the point is missing the point. There is nothing new in learning that a large neural net can approximate the output of a classical system. This has been done many times before. The real point is that DeepMind build a system that is half-search and pretend it's no-search. You cannot get the "high-quality data" without a classical system- not in chess.

TLDR: Love your kid.

Read and sing to your kid - even if you are an awful singer. I read and sang lullabys to both my kids from when they were weeks old. THey didn't understand, but the memory is worth it, and I continued to so nightly until they were 7 or 8...or until they repeatedly said "Daaaaad! I'm too old for lullabys and bedtime stories." Then just read one more :)

Spend ALL the time with your kid - the time FLIES and one day you'll look at your 14 year as he mouths off to you and wonder how just moments ago you were cuddling with him as you were trying to put him to sleep in his crib.

I'm a night owl, so i never suffered from 'sleepless' nights like so many people complain about. Once my son's could take formula (ie when my wife wasn't necessary for the feeding), those were my favorite times: my wife could stay asleep and I could just grab a bottle and sit up every few hours through the night and feed them. Just me and either of my kids. Cherish those moments.

It is no exaggeration when a parent or grandparent tells you "Enjoy this moment because they fly by and before you know it they are grown." 15 years from now you'll wish for the sleepless nights when you were holding your baby trying to soothe them back to sleep.

"Lead by example" - You try to teach your kids the things they should know and to be better than you. Sometimes that means doing things better than you did (ie teaching them from mistakes or bad habits you might have), but kids are perceptive and will "learn it by WATCHING you". "Do as I say, not as I do" is less effective than leading by example. BE the man you want your son to be or your daughter to end up with. It's very difficult to backtrack on this when you realize you've been the wrong example.

Around 10 or 11, they will stop needing you as much or seeing you as their only hero. Take full advantage of the years before this to be the hero you want them to have and remember.

Teenage boys will rebel against their father and test boundaries. If you've set god boundaries and led by good examples and taught them good fundamentals, they'll circle back once they realize who they are and that you have always loved them - even during the arguments.

Be careful with criticism - even when trying to be helpful and constructive. They have a funny way of remembering constructive criticism as "negativity" :)

Overflow with praise for them - when deserved. Reign it in - but give it - when it's less so. They'll know that when you say something, you mean it.

When they're older sometimes you have to be "the bad guy" to help them learn right from wrong. Stand your ground if you know you are right, but always let them know you love them and are willing to talk about whatever dilemma they are going through.

End of the day: Love them the best that you can and tell them that every single day.

It's hard to imagine a company that size would name it so deliberately without realizing it would cause confusion in search engine results and such.

> because the whole green movement is cast as an aspect of wokeness

The "Green movement" is the quintessential example of what people consider wokeness because the "Green movement" is arguably the single handed worst thing to happen to the environment. Rejection of nuclear energy in favor of gas and goal (i.e the only other alternatives until a decade ago, and still the only other alternative until we develop better battery tech) is bananas, but that's somehow considered environmental in the eyes of the "Green movement." Moving to plastics to "save the trees" was an extension of that nonsense.

> There is no "shift to anti-wokeness" that doesn't also involve a net loss for the environment

You'll find that the most anti-woke people are the only pro-nuclear voices in Australasia.
