The website recommends to contact the permanent representation of my country, and more importantly by phone which is apparently more effective. Not that I'm worried about it but I wonder if anyone here already did this, is it an accepted practice to reach out with such a method ?
> it's not like a typist is having to stretch to locations they're not normally pressing anyways.

But they have to stretch, that's the issue, why do something unergonomic when you can do it better? On phones you have numpad input for the same reason - it's more convenient than the "familiar" horizontal keys

> straight lines of the number pad are kind of the whole point to me for having a separate number pad area.

But your fingers aren't straight, so that's also suboptimal. On the other hand you don't need to move your hand off home row and can also add more convenient backspace for error correction
Even more insidious is the armies of salaried mechanical turks on 'grass root' social groups and forums pushing forward a company's whisper campaign without any form of disclosure. You'll notice the same messages surfacing in various online avenues of certain niches nearly at the same time. They make people believe they are on the inside lane of something new and count on them spreading the 'insight' organically amongst their other circles, but it's pure planned guerilla marketing. Most I've noticed this in nutrition, healthcare and financial products.
That line you cherry-picked is in the context of what someone else wants:

I think that the same way that energy is shed when a particle steps from high energy to low energy is the way that "gravity aka possibility energy" is shed when quantum superposition collapses into position.

Also related is real-time strategy games:

> Real-time strategy (RTS) is a subgenre of strategy video games that does not progress incrementally in turns,[1] but allow all players to play simultaneously, in "real time". By contrast, in turn-based strategy (TBS) games, players take turns to play. The term "real-time strategy" was coined by Brett Sperry to market Dune II in the early 1990s.[2][3]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_strategy

> While not the first real-time strategy (RTS) video game, Dune II established the format that would be followed for years to come.[1][2] As such, Dune II is the archetypal real-time strategy game. Striking a balance between complexity and innovation, it was a huge success and laid the foundation for Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, Warcraft, and many other RTS games that followed.

What's the big deal, just build more nuclear. We'll need the power anyway as we move away from fossil fuels for transport so may as well start building them now.
Yes that's a fair point, although Taylor Swift is somewhat of an exception/corner case. Some of the huge acts do sell cheaper than market rate for other reasons, but most of the events they sell for are not.

It's also worth noting that sometimes things change after prices have been set. For example, a baseball game in which tickets were sold but now there's a lot of attention/love suddenly and unexpectedly on the team (maybe they just pulled off a big upset or something) so "market rate" for tickets jumps much higher than what it was immediately before that when the tickets were sold. They weren't originally trying to price lower than market rate. Also the pricing they do for market rate is calculated to optimize for maximum revenue which includes some balance of selling max number of seats but only until the delta of additional sales means a net loss of revenue (i.e. you can sell every seat for $1 but that would make a lot less money).

I have a couple of strawberry pots by the window in my apartment. The flavor is way better than anything store bought. It's the same thing with picking and eating blueberries straight out of the bush, or from some roadside stall.

Something to do with the commercial varieties being selected for transport and size/color rather than flavor. Also I believe the commercial fruits are picked as soon as they seem ripe, while I can wait longer for them to get sweeter and I don't have to care about transportation spoiling the fruit.
It's only a fallacy if you have garbage or incomplete data.

Someone with poor reading comprehension will read this as "trusting the data over a more holistic approach", when the actual criticism would be something like "making decisions based on metrics than can be easily measured, rather than ALL metrics is a mistake".

Generally speaking, if you have comprehensive and complete data and domain competence, it is not a mistake to make a decision based on objective metrics.

Not so silly that the EA community didn’t talk about what went wrong.
Their press release actually says electric atlas is more powerful. Though I wonder if that's higher peak torque, and not so much explosive power required for jumps. A commercial robot doesn't need to do parkour.
hand is just a surface bro, I don't think it has anything to do with hand, light will bounce back on any opaque surface, just think of it as a mini projector and it's not even full RGB spectrum colour.
I do not suppose that human memory is like a computer. Thinking of how it works, I believe it works a bit like LLM, you formulate a prompt and get memories. It is an automatic process an you do not see the details, like what the prompt was used.

And suppose if at some point you've learned how to a) store memory in a categorized form; b) use prompts formulated in a language (or at least in categories of language), then you can "forget" the old way of prompt generating.

> "Remembering" trauma could also mean that the brain's structure changes in some way as a result of trauma without necessarily recording how the event exactly went.

This is too vague to my taste. Isn't any memory a brain's structure change?

Thats.... still racist? Why does he think black people have a lower IQ? Nigerian immigrants to the US are some of the most successful immigrants. Like... black people just do not have lower IQs and to say so is considered very dangerous rhetoric for a reason. The reason we even have pervasive belief that black people are stupider is because it was convenient rhetoric for the colonial powers pillaging Africa and treating black people as subhuman cattle. It's not a claim based on fact, nor is it a benign thing to say.

...IQ tests are also wildly flawed measures of intelligence anyway, but let's not even get into that.
Ownership becomes mushy word, when you get to own duty and lack the power to make decisions.

Manager: you need to take ownership, meaning that you figure out requirements (and get the blame when requirements changes), you make the product and project decision (and get the blame, when for outcomes), you find all the people needed to figure out deploy details and no, you can't make decision about what we're using in production.

I don't understand your last sentence. If "you want less than <1000 of something you'd choose a 3D printer but it's slower." What does that mean?

Isn't it 3d printing end to end from idea to existing faster than injection molding for smaller runs?

Isn't the entire point of this video that for a 1000 part sample 3D printing/Injection molding run time were actually more comparable than one might think?

Exactly. Some tests just need a decent sample size to even contain the things you're looking for. Its like thinking you can have a good sample of the entire US population by asking three people a question. It's not just a matter of "the technology just wasn't quite there", it's a matter of just not being a statistically relevant sample size or issues with where you're actually collecting the sample.
The stuff you quoted as “mush” can be continuously quantified as part of normal ongoing business.

Legal ownership can’t be quantified in that way. You’d need to go to court and have a judge decide who really owns the product and liability, and then evaluate that person / entity’s job performance.

To use an aviation analogy, you’re proposing replacing randomly spot checking of assemblies for properly tightened bolts, etc., with the legal shell game that Boeing currently uses.

The spot checks would have been less expensive upfront, and also alerted them to their current issues 5-10 years earlier. At that point it would have been trivial to fix.
The data is definitely sparse in the earlier decades, especially over unpopulated areas and in developing nations, due to the lack of regularly recorded weather observations (sensors, balloons, etc.). Especially since weather satellites started collecting global data, coverage has been better though. And weather observing stations have proliferated since too.

Totally agree that it would be cool to see when and where the weather observations are that are informing the climate model. A quick search didn't turn up this dataset, but it may be somewhere. I'll see if I can find this data.
I think you're using the outside US English understanding of 'government' that means the current majority group in the legislature and typically that group picks the executive.

That's a fine definition, but not the operative one in a discussion of the US NSA.

In the US, the government is the apparatus of state power. That includes legislative, judicial, and executive. Including police, court, schools run by the state (we call them public schools, but that's another term that likely means something else to you), parks deparments, municipal services (if not private businesses), etc.

Perhaps the acknowledged lack of flexibility on your part should be weighed against the practical considerations and economy of standardization in a large organization.

Standardizing on a small set of easily available hardware, a single popular OS, and a single set of tools across an organization can have vast benefits in direct proportion to the scale of that organization.

On the other hand, you are one person who is set in their ways.

In some ways, I’m a lot like you. I know the straitjacket feeling when placed into an unfamiliar or uncustomized environment. At this point, adapting to new interfaces has happened so often and so many times that I consider it a core job skill.
I assume this is because most models are linear models and implicitely approximate a non-trivial amount which can become problematic from a stability perspective in many of the real-world settings?

For those unaware, "desbordante" means overflowing in French (and Spanish). In French, you can pronounce it as "d'eh-boar-daunt". I don't speak Spanish but I think you add an "ay" to the end of it.
Not true.

Too many people think they have to run for congress or president instead of thinking more locally. Jesse Ventura is a great example of what the founders envisioned as encouraging people to get involved in politics. He was unhappy with the local city government. He ran for mayor and won and spent four years in charge. Went back to his private sector life and then five years after leaving office, ran for governor and won.

I've had friends get involved in their local politics and have been effective. My buddy was a professional skateboarder and run twice for a local office and he barely lost both times and has vowed to stay involved in his cities politics.

You're seeing more and more people getting involved at the national level who said they never had any inkling of getting involved in politics but have thrown their hats in the ring.

There was a reason the founders made the barrier extremely low to get involved in politics, either locally or nationally. They wanted people to have a say in how their governments are run and to make it simple for them to be the change they want to see.

This is over trivializing it, but there isn't much more inherent complexity in training an 8B or larger model other than more money, more compute, more data, more time. Overall, the principles are similar.
Try not to read too much into that, the MIT license was in the original blank repo I started with. There are a few questions I need to get answered, so the lack of that file doesn't necessarily mean anything about the license. The previous Descent 1&2 releases were under the license seen here, I would expect that at minimum (minimum permissibility-wise):

I'm hoping the owners will be able to agree to MIT, but we're doing due diligence right now.
Eich's position was exactly the same as Obama and Hillary Clinton on the issue, so calling it "dumb and/or controversial" isn't grounded in reality. The controversial opinion and actions belonged to the Board and certain employees.
In general, yes.

But this shoot down had so much going on, it was for all intents and purposes, intentional. The level of aggression shown by that captain, the violations of territorial waters ans deviations from standard practice. He attacked everything that moved and the climate in which his behaviour was tolerated is also a factor. He wanted to shoot a plane down. His colleagues had given him a nickname and his superiors had concerns about the recklessness.

The final settlements reflects the indefensible behaviour.
I think of physics as the APIs that Nature gave us. Human laws are very limited wrappers around those APIs.
Agreed. Although I think the other side to this you touched on is building a stable, competitive business around this, that cannot be bought and paid for by corrupt government officials, and resistant to acquisitions by corporations that are already beholden to intelligence agencies to comply with their BS.

Curious use of the word faculty . . . I would say the problem is the administration and bureaucracy and not the faculty (which usually refers to the academic staff). I guess they mean the word in the sense of the administrative unit of the university. Regardless, this is not a problem confined to Oxford; it seems to have proliferated throughout academia in the last couple of decades. The sheer amount of utter bullshit is mind boggling; I figure about 1 in 10 people actually do useful work while the other 9 conspire to make that person's life more difficult. Of course, industry is hardly any better . . .
