I wrote an article about it here a while back: https://cesardelsolar.com/posts/2022-02-13_scrabble-is-nowhe...

Having written what I believe is the best bot out there, since that article (BestBot on https://woogles.io), it beats many top players around 55% of the time roughly, but still has so many fundamental issues that we have not solved yet. I believe if we matched it against the top player or two in the world that it would be roughly even. I would not put money on it beating Nigel Richards over a 100-game series. We have a while to go until we build a truly superhuman bot; this is not the case for Chess/Go.

As to what you're possibly missing here - it's that Scrabble is more than just about finding the top-scoring word. There's a lot of board shape considerations, inferences, volatility, etc that current engines, including mine, don't yet take into account.
> Pretending that you find something annoying, but then contradictorily dedicating your attention to it is going to tell the algorithm to give you more of the same. If you don't want to learn the truth about yourself

Wow, um - I don’t know how to say this politely. I know the truth about myself. I know I’m drawn towards stupid stuff like that. That xkcd “I can’t come to bed yet honey, someone is wrong on the internet!” - that’s talking about me.

It’s like an addiction. Just because I’m addicted to stupid drama online doesn’t mean I want an algorithm to feed it to me. I want technology to support the better angels of my nature. Not inflame my worst parts.

The problem with algorithmic news feeds is they’re too compelling for me. I don’t want to live in a constant state of battle, where I need to exert self control to make my attention my own. I want technology to support my life choices. Not to constantly tempt me to doom scroll. Just because I do it, doesn’t mean I enjoy it or that I choose it.

It’s much easier for someone who’s a problem drinker to just not have alcohol around the house. Me? I just can’t use algorithmic news feeds in a healthy way. I think a large portion of society has the same problem, and just doesn’t know how to quit. If it were up to me, I’d ban algorithmic news feeds entirely. They’re bad for us.
The general cost of living is going to change that.

The difference is that this bug exists at the border of two distinct components.

Suppose `/bin/sh` concatenated all arguments together, then split them back apart. That would be a stupid thing to do, but that stupidity would be entirely contained within `/bin/sh`. A bug report for `/bin/sh` could clearly point to the broken component and state that it needs to be fixed. This is possible because the `execve` API provides a list of strings. Any extra (concatenate, split) pairs must exist on one side or another of the border imposed by `execve`.

Here, there's a mismatch between two entirely separate components. The `CreateProcess` API accepts an arbitrary string. The `GetCommandLine` function returns that same arbitrary string. The (concatenate,split) pair must straddle the border between the two processes, with concatenation done on the side that calls `CreateProcess`, and splitting done on the side that calls `GetCommandLine`. A developer for the parent process can shrug and say that it's the fault of the child process for not parsing arguments correctly. A developer for the subprocess can shrug and say that it's the fault of the parent process for not providing arguments in the expected form.
While nothing you've said is wrong, that's not their point.

> Money appeared. Lemonade disappeared. I want to see the corresponding +$5 and -$5.

If I understand your comment correctly, where you're getting confused is, you're reading Current Account (Assets) to mean your inventory of lemonade. What they actually mean in this case is money moved from Income to your Assets (e.g. your cash register). That's why assets went up in this example.

Of course for your lemonade business you might keep track of your lemonade as well (which I think is what you're talking about when you refer to assets). The lemonade sale would then lead to a decrease in your lemonade asset and and an increase in your expenses (cost of goods sold), so the right hand side of the equation balances.

So when selling lemonade there are actually 2 things happening:

1. Your income and your assets (your amount of cash) both increased. Income and Assets are on different sides of the =, so the equation still balances

2. Your lemonade assets decrease and you incurred the cost of that lemonade as an increase of your expenses. Those are both on the same side of the =, so the equation still balances.

Yes, they did, and you can see it in the metrics.

Except it proves nothing about TC, it just refers to a paper that demonstrated RNNs were TC.

The authors decision to name their creation a "Neural Turing Machine" doesn't make it computationally equivalent.

The fact that it explicitly states:

> ...analogous to a Turing Machine or Von Neumann architecture but is differentiable end-to-
end, allowing it to be efficiently trained with gradient descent.

Actually demonstrates it is not equivalent.

Note that I am not saying their approach is wrong, but that their overloading of terms suggests more than they claim.

While 'general-purpose computer' is ambiguous, a Turning machine is not as opaque.

LLMs can be TC with infinite space for input and infinite width.

For finite input, size, and depth, LLMs aren't even equivalent to primitive recursive functions IIRC.

With consent depth threshold circuits being a recent claim as the limits of LLMs.
LLM inference is mostly memory bound. An 12-channel Epyc Genoa with 4800MT/s DDR5 ram clocks at 460.8 GB/sec. It's more than the 400GB/s of the M3 Max, only part of that accessible for the CPU.

And on the Epyc System you can plug much more memory for when you need larger memory and PCI-E gpus, for when you need less faster memory.

Threadripper PRO is only 8-channel, but with memory overclocking it might reach numbers similar to those too.

Web pages can't do anything that affects the rest of your system without going through a permission dialog, and the permissions are always very granular. A page can't trigger a yes/no permission dialog to get access to all of your files; it can only trigger a file-picker that gives it access to whatever the user picks in it. An .exe doesn't need to go through any permission dialog to upload/wipe/infect any file in your home directory.

> So what does this author consider “psyops”, exactly?

Linebarger was employed by the US Army during WWII with a Psychological Warfare MOS and wrote a textbook (with the obvious name, available in the obvious places) on the subject; after that, having been among the group that "lost China", he updated his textbook with lessons learned.

(but yes, subverting the culture* which the other guys' ruling class maintains to keep their subjects fighting on their behalf is an obvious part of the job; Linebarger gives biblical examples demonstrating this line of work, and the Cyrus Cylinder fits in his model. He was himself part of the class depicted in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPPpjU1UeAo and, at least by the 1954 version of his book, was aware how this may have damaged his side's credibility in the eyes of the modal chinese peasant)

* culture explains the stasis hypothesised in 1984: because all three geopowers have superficially-different but structurally-identical socioeconomics, they have a shared interest in not attempting to subvert each other deeply, only competing superficially.

> Europe has not the same ratio of extreme obesity, while eating basically the same products, How would you explain that?

They aren't the same products, since sugar is more expensive in Europe, they add less of it to the products. Add aggressive labeling laws on top of that and sugar taxes on top of that.

You can directly corroborate population sugar consumption with population BMI. You can also track the increase in BMI against the cost of sugar (i.e. lower it goes, the higher BMI goes) from 1970 to today.

TIL pankration had striking...

But they distinguished between that and stand up striking aka pugilism? Though the latter is a Latin word hmm

I'd be very uninterested by non head striking martial arts.

Martial Arts is a search for truth. It's not only about fighting as it is also about discipline, self improvement, peace, community and some spritualism

But if you care about combat them you have to fight/spar. No point pretending taichi is a combat skill if no one in two generations or more have applied it practically.

MMA is the closest we can get to a controlled safe arena to facilitate that search for truth.

Do what works. Love him or hate him, the Conor McGregor shoulder punch was a great moment of reminding people that the spirit of MMA should be formless.

For that reason I find it frustrating that UFC has banned 12oclock elbows and football kicks and grounded knees. Not because I want to see people's heads getting smashed but because the obvious desire to not get struck by those would promote less risky takedowns and would probably make the sport less wrestling dominant.

When I got prompted to choose an option recently, there were many options I didn't recognize, so I have no idea.

Most of the options at the top of my list were Yandex, Edge, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all of which use Chromium except Safari (whose rendering engine still shares common ancestry with Chromium) and Firefox.

I don't remember the exact order of these options, but Yandex was first in my prompt. It does use Chromium. I assume they put the popular options first in a randomized order, then other options below them in a randomized order, similar to what Microsoft did when they had a similar requirement in Europe. But I don't actually know how they decide the order.

Remember when, less than 3 years ago, SF projected a $108M surplus for the next two years?

Woulda been a nice time to clean up some of this technical debt!

Or how about the SF Emergency Sirens, taken offline in late 2019 for a "2 year" upgrade plan that officeholders implied was already in place?

In August 2023, with no progress whatsover, with the Maui fire disaster fresh on their minds, Mayor Breed & Supervisors President Peskin touted they'd finally funded a plan to return them to service soon: https://www.sf.gov/news/mayor-breed-and-board-president-pesk...

In that same August 2023 timeframe, Peskin said the plan would bring this "need to have" system "up and running" & to "state of the art" by end of 2024, for $5.5M: https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/san-francisco-city...

Of course, this was just more blatant self-exonerating bullshit from our local political machines immune from any real accountability for incompetence in basic public functions.

A mere 6 months later in February 2024, nothing's been started, Peskin admitted "we don't even have a plan", the department is still waiting until "funding is identified", and the cost estimate has ballooned to $20.5m: https://abc7news.com/san-francisco-sirens-emergency-911-aler...

That works out to $170K+ for each of 119 units – units that each could probably just be a weatherized consumer-grade handheld device with multiple mobile/packet/sat radios, & a simple authenticated-playback app, mounted on existing poles that presumably already have power and even loudspeakers.
It should be a union, like the Screen Actors Guild. An entrepreneur model already exists for developers; start a company with your software and monetize it. But most developers don't want to do all the activities involved in making a company. Open source developers want to work on their choice of software and get paid. A collaborative venture, like a union or guild, aligns with this.
> You don't want negative numbers because that would require the description of a category to change based on whether it is positive or negative

That's actually already how it works, the kind of inverse you use depends on if the account is credit-normal or debit-normal. You end up in the same place.

> Imagine showing negative revenue. That would be mostly useless.

Revenue is already credit instead of debit, which if you were consistent in using negative numbers, a negative revenue be completely correct (so you would want to sweat if revenue was a positive number). It's weird, but it lets your cash on hand be a positive number, which is just a necessary consequence of the system.

> Imagine how misleading it could be to show $0 in expenses last month, when in reality, you had $100 in expenses, but you subtracted $100 out because you returned some big purchase from last month and got a refund.

Wouldn't that be accurate? This would be a debit of 100 and a credit of 100 which nets a balance of 0. But individually you would see the transactions and could sum the credits and debits if you were so inclined.

Alternatively, contra-accounts exist if reporting these individually is material for some reason.
