I think a surprising number of people probably just use an ISP-provided modem / router combo, allowing the ISP to set the LAN's DNS, decide how to hand out IPs through DHCP, and other configuration options that give them way too much control. A shrinking number of geeks use their own router, and a tiny fraction of that shrinking number even uses their own WAN interface.

Science and research are funded in phases. So greater awareness and understanding of a particular problem can often fund the research towards finding solutions. I hear your frustration that there aren't proposed solutions here but I don't think that's the point of this--awareness is.

I do know some teachers who work with very high risk kids. I can imagine some of these findings presented in an appeal to get more funding for their work as they are horribly under resourced to meet the need.

Like i don't know, authors need to be able to assume their readers have some context and the ability to independently research the things that they don't understand.
Are you suggesting that humanity will die out so long as only willing, intentional parents have children? That is an interesting thesis and conclusion to come to (total fertility rate = 0 vs somewhere between 0 and 2.1 [replacement rate]).

We should empower people who want children to succeed, and empower people who don't want children to never have them. What happens after that, we can solve for.
> Physical strength is the most important thing in life. This is true whether we want it to be or not. As humanity has developed throughout history, physical strength has become less critical to our daily existence, but no less important to our lives. Our strength, more than any other thing we possess, still determines the quality and the quantity of our time here in these bodies. ... A weak man is not as happy as that same man would be if he were strong. This reality is offensive to some people who would like the intellectual or spiritual to take precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to these very people as their squat strength goes up.

I've always loved this first paragraph of the book for how direct it is. Agree or disagree, that's fine, I'm not saying this is an incontrovertible truth or endorsing it necessarily. Just nice to see someone state their priors so unambiguously.
My least favorite thing about owning a Tesla is the association with Elon.
It looks to me like people start with open source licenses because that's helpful to get them market-share (and in some cases community contributors and maintainers), and then they switch to a non-open-source license reserving certain rights to profit to them hoping to maintain the users that they wouldn't have gotten if they started with that license.

I am curious for examples of any projects now *starting( with one of these non-open-source rights-to-profit-reserved licenses, now that is clearly "understood". Are there any examples? Are they successfully attracting users? Contributors?

$4,400 / year is not much. But accumulate it over 5 years and is $22,000. Take this a step further (like buy groceries in bulk and on sale, never pay full price for clothes, buy used skis, do not lease a car and if you have a friend who is a mechanic ask him for help to buy a used car). It becomes more than $4,400 / year. 6 years later you can put 5% down payment on a 1 bed room condo. 2-3 years later you sell the one bedroom condo and buy a 2 bedroom condo.

From my personal circle of friends, the people that I know that own the most real estate are people who are disciplined (think accountant in a 500 Fortune company, or an engineer working for Boeing, or a web developer slinging some internal Asp.Net website at some company you never heard of). Meanwhile some guy working at my current huge-tech company sold all his stock when it vested and "invested" the proceeds in options... He was taking uber to work even though you can show up anytime you want (maybe take the bus? maybe some days you work remotely?) and he was complaining to me that he will never be able to buy a condo...
It seems like a pretty understandable position to me... A company is its employees. Their politics will affect the companies decisions long term. Additionally in America corporations have a lot of political power and giving them money ("voting with your wallet") allows them to lobby/bribe politicians onto their side of the political spectrum.
I mean we already have cameras and microphones in our pockets & homes. Hell even at tables of most restaurants.
It also begs the question of nature vs. nurture. If researchers won't take this seriously, then nobody should take their findings seriously. It's almost impossible to untangle, "single-fatherhood leads to bad outcomes because kids need a father figure in the house" from, "single-fatherhood leads to worse outcomes because the type of person who would abandon their children is likely more impulsive and less conscientious than average and those traits are heritable."
I move in these military/defense spec circles rather a lot, and yeah, ASD has come light years when it comes to ASD-100 (STE) availability. Cruise this thread and you'll see quite a few of the horror stories users have had just getting their hands on a printed copy of the specification. Why, you might ask, why in the dickens was this arrangement so resilient? Whelp, it goes back to the governance of these specs, and the ugly truth is that if the national military sits out the technical steering, and then the big OEMs sit out the technical steering, the only ones left are the existing software vendors. So that probably tells you all you need to know about how that goes.

I'd also like to give a shout out to TechScribe.uk, who sells a LanguageTool package to use STE as a LanguageTool grammar and language set. RedPen.CC also has some STE rules you can plug into the linter. RedPen and LanguageTool, you can integrate those with Visual Studio Code or another standard text editor. Of course, if you're tasked with STE, then you probably also have the budget to go to the Big Boys, Etteplan (formerly Tedopres) and those fellas, who are in the spec governance up to their elbows. There's a reason licenses for aerospace techpubs can easily clear 50k per seat per year - and the reason is crap like that.
You can certainly go into debt to get your foot onto that treadmill. You can live with your parents and spend the entire $40k on entertainment. The exact figure of the income barely matters. FOMO and consumerist culture almost ensures that everyone is participating.

> I don't get this behavior

Cars have always had massive social signalling value. Brands, e.g. every sports car driven by a non-professional driver, are built on this.

Like, if you drive a spotless custom-coat sawed-off muffler F-450 in New York City or Palo Alto, people might make assumptions about you based on that information. Same, now, for a Tesla. For many people, this is immaterial. For a few it is decisive. For most, it’s a marginal signal. In a crowded car and even EV market, the switching costs are low.
>it's obviously as much an intellectual exercise to gamble on sports as it is to play poker

I think this is wrong. The most skilled poker player at the table has an edge and is likely to win over time. I don’t think there is a similar thing in sports betting.

> large-scale behavior cloning (which is the technique used here), is essentially replay with a little smoothing

A definition of "replay" that involves extensive correction based on perception in the loop is really stretching it. But let me take your argument at face value. This is essentially the same argument that people use to dismiss GPT-4 as "just" a stochastic parrot. Two things about this:

One, like GPT-4, replay with generalization based on perception can be exceedingly useful by itself, far more so than strict replay, even if the generalization is limited.

Two, obviously this doesn't generalize as much as GPT-4. But the reason is that it doesn't have enough training data. With GPT-4 scale training data it would generalize amazingly well and be super useful. Collecting human demonstrations may not get us to GPT-4 scale, but it will be enough to bootstrap a robot useful enough to be deployed in the field. Once there is a commercially successful dextrous robot in the field we will be able to collect orders of magnitude more data, unsupervised data collection should start to work, and robotics will fall to the bitter lesson just as vision, ASR, TTS, translation, and NLP before.

I think you’re correct in the sense that the original study probably intended to cast ChatGPT as racist, so published statistically insignificant findings to support their claim. They went in with a bias against AI in the first place, and there’s a probability they used the label of racist because it is the most efficient negative signal in educated left-leaning circles, rather than it being a natural conclusion from a standard route of scientific inquiry.

It's impressive that transformers, diffusion, and human generated data can go so far in robotics. I would have expected simulation would be needed to achieve such results.

My fear is that we see a similar problem with other generative AI in that it gets stuck in loops on complex problems and is unable to correct itself because the training data covers the problem but not the failure modes.
I was working for Amazon at the time, and lived in Boston. Everyone thought (naively?) that Boston was going to “win” - until Bezos bought a fancy mansion in DC. It was quite embarrassing to watch even still.

I’m still proud of our local government for publicly publishing their proposal, and not offering any major concessions. The proposal was basically “we have what you want, so come get it, we’re not gunna pay you”.
I think it's even more stupid than that - the people who buy EVs in bulk are normally a certain group, fiscally and socially, yet that's the group he spends most of his time demonising on Twitter. The group that buy EVs is definitely broadening nowadays but I think that I'm still mostly correct.
wow, this tool is pretty good to use, didn't expect that. I used Shell_GPT and aichat previously but they are not that smart in generating commands with gpt3.5-turbo.

Unless you're reading historical documents, these words have only one meaning in the English language. It is in no sense American English specific.

One advantage of the short scale is that its cadence is the same as that of SI units: million is mega, billion is giga, trillion is tera, and so on. The long scale of course has the -ard names, so this isn't exactly a problem, any more than French saying "four twenties and nineteen" for ninety-nine is a problem.

The difference is one of the major reasons the SI scale names exist in the first place, in fact.

It also matches the decimal separators used by everyone but Indians, which strikes me as more logical.

> Do you really know that there are no "bad people" working at Hyundai?

Elon does not just "work at" Tesla. He is the CEO, the face of the brand. He is actively creating a personal brand that is incredibly polarizing, and Tesla is tied to that personal brand.

Similarly, Zuckerberg is the face of Meta. His personal branding efforts are around him doing MMA and stuff like finding cancer cures and educating poor kids via the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

The CEO's personal branding will usually impact any consumer product.

The author definitely has an agenda to push. They equate saying personal responsibility is the way out of poverty to calling poor people morons. I suspect that the author has specific policy proposals in mind but is intentionally being vague because other people will likely find them extreme.

> It’s convention that you want your p-value to be less than 0.05 to declare something statistically significant – in this case, that would mean less than 5% chance that the results were due to randomness. This p-value of 0.2442 is way higher than that.

You can't get "ChatGPT isn't racist" out of that. You can only get "this study has not conclusively demonstrated that ChatGPT is racist" (for the category in question).

And in fact, in half of the categories, ChatGPT3.5 does show very strong evidence of racism / racial bias (p-value below 1e-4).
I don't think it works if we're narrowly focused just on wages, but I don't know why that has to be the only focus. If we as a society want to support people having a baseline quality of life, then let's pay for it together rather than pushing it all on employers.

Yep, ratio of water to rice should be 2:1. Pretty simple.
I don't need the top-to-bottom employee structure of an entire org to be 100% with me on all political or social issues. That's unreasonable. All I really ask for is enough plausible deniability that I'm not directly funding people who would seek to have my friends harmed in the name of their social projects. Unfortunately this is getting harder and harder to manage as everyone is now their own brand manager and feels the need to publicly and financially support their preferred political party, politician, or organization.

You can feel however you want about it. Everyone has a line to draw in their own plot of sand with regard to what they're willing to tolerate and what they're not on this axis. That said if, for example, you don't believe women have the right to their bodies, that people don't have the right to express themselves, those sort of baseline "human" things, then you can very reliably count me out on supporting anything you make if I can possibly avoid it.

This is largely a consequence of them being humans raised in Western culture in the year 2024 - everyone is this way, through the degree and ways in which vary, in ways that are mostly only believed to be known - as the saying goes: a fox cannot smell his own den.

I'm confused. Does SSPL not require more sharing of source code than GPL and the like?

I've always thought the "we're just hosting a server with our modified version of this OSS code, so we don't have to share the source" argument was trash.
I recognize that you aren't placing any (explicit at least) blame here, simply stating facts, so I want to make clear that what I'm saying is simply an addition to your comment, not a refutation.

Is it really surprising that iOS isn't an important target for Firefox, given that Apple's draconian rules don't allow them to do much? If we're going to assign responsibility for this, I think Apple is who deserves (at least most of) it. Given the major (artificial) impediments imposed by the gatekeeper of the platform, were I in their shoes I would never invest scarce dollars into such a risky undertaking where there is a hostile* and extremely powerful overseer.

*To be clear, I mean hostile to 3rd party browsers, such as Firefox

I appreciate this may not have been the case (sorry OP), which is why I asked the above question.
In a capitalist society, voting with one's wallet is one of the only actions of power one has.
Because most of these (PHEV) vehicles have a completely laughable EV range. For many commutes you’d have to plug in every ${DEITY}damn time you get home and likewise in the office, every day. Good luck if you have street parking at home or if your work only offers a handful of chargers (or zero).

The truth is that all of this was entirely foreseeable and PHEVs should never have been incentivized, but especially in Germany, the government is very, very much under the influence of big carmakers, and they were years behind in BEVs, so they had their way.
It shot down what is claimed to be "hypersonic" missle by russians. I don't know about "kinzhal" speeds, but the rockets are indeed was shot down a bunch of times. Speaking about "cyrcon" missiles, they do travel at the hypersonic speed but slowing down at the last miles of trajectory and can (and was) shot down too.
It actually seems like it's the behaviors of other poor people, which those in poverty cannot escape, that "fucks people up." It's not privation. It's proximity to violence and abuse (both of which are highly correlated with -- note: not demonstrated to be caused by -- poverty).

Fair enough; "the world" might have been too broad a statement. The first-gen iPhone certainly had its share of critics, though, starting with the price of $500-ish (IIRC) when all other phones were subsidized by carriers in the U. S., and Edge connections speeds when 3G was becoming a thing.

But a quick flip to another Wikipedia page says it received mostly positive reviews, so maybe my bubble needs recalibrating. :-)
