>Also, 2 is not a logical implication of 1. One can never rule out the possibility that, say, all human behavior is controlled by evil demons. What I would say is that my version of 1 is very compelling evidence for 2, and one of the things that makes it compelling is that it is so obviously true that a sane person would never even contemplate it as anything other than a thought experiment.

Oh good, ok - you see my confusion, I thought you were saying that it was a logical implication. I would still say that 2 isn't really grounded in 1 so much as it is self-evidently true. Like, if we're being controlled by evil demons, 1 isn't even relevant---the question is fundamentally whether sense-experience gives us true knowledge bar extenuating circumstances or not; I think the answer is yes, but not because we see that this belief is a useful belief, it's because 2 itself is intuitively true. I don't believe that my perception of me sitting on a chair is good grounds for the proposition that I really am sitting on a chair not because of a thought experiment about lacking that belief leading to injury---I believe it because it seems true itself. And I think this is the right solution in general for related issues, whether it's inductive inferences (I think they're rational), belief in causality, belief in the validity of sense-data, or any other typical issue for empiricism.

The "X is key for survival, so X must be true" way of thinking has never been appealing to me---this seems to miss the point of what it means for something to be true. Like, I don't believe in 1+1=2 because it's useful for economics, physics, math, or whatever---I think it's true independently of its utility. Similarly for other truths.

I'd prefer to not publicize my real name and face, so no, unfortunately (unless you'd be OK with that; I'd be happy to chat if so).
Both seem like something you’d say if self-reflection hurts your puzzler. Not the first folks to cast inabilities as virtues.

I don't even agree with Dennett, just pointing out what his stance is in response to your weird attack. A stance that everyone knows except you apparently, didn't even know it was argued. He is eliminative of consciousness, and is basically famous as a philosopher for it, second to the religious stuff.

I've had some similar success by just giving GPT-4 and Claude access to a shell and a simple prompt:

You are an expert penetration tester and have access to a Kali Linux sandbox. You need to thouroughly test for security vulnerabilities. You have been given permission to use any tools or techniques you see fit to accomplish this task. Use any kali linux tools to find and probe for vulnerabilities. You can use tools like nmap, nikto, sqlmap, burp suite, metasploit, etc. to find and exploit vulnerabilities. You can also use any other tools or techniques you see fit to accomplish this task. Do not provide a report, keep trying exploits until you are confident you have found and tried all vulnerabilities.

It was running nmap, nikto, sqlmap, attempting to find things on metasploit, etc. but often got stuck in loops and I got sidetracked. Maybe I should get back into it.

This was mostly based off of my other project <https://github.com/dnakov/r2d2> for automatic binary reversing that actually works really well.

I'd love to connect if anyone else is interested in tools like this.

AIs can definitely mux a couple ideas and come up with a concept that’s not in the training work set already. In fact, it is often so willing to do it that the concepts often don’t make a sense, but certainly it does generate ideas that are not there in the training set. This is still just the “it’s an infringement machine” argument redux yet again - yes, it absolutely does have the ability to mash up ideas to produce something new.

By what mechanism would it make them quarrel? Producing falsehoods about the other? Isn't this already done? And don't we already know that it does not lead to "endless" conflict?

For this to work, you need to isolate each group from the other groups information and perspectives, which is outside of the scope of LLMs.

Which, highlights my point, I think. Power comes from physical control, not from megalomanical or melodramatic poetry.
We can also understand the temptation to just spray and pray out to thousands of companies, given the owerwhelming number of spurious autorejections, fake / expired / poorly crafted job ads, etc. Not to mention all the ghosting and other random / shitty communications these companies routinely deal out to people at various stages of the process.

One of our friends is a retired pharma rep. He made the majority of his connections through networking at conferences. During their workdays, doctors are typically over-worked and unwilling to be distracted.

Same retired pharma rep now volunteers at a major hospital a couple of days a week - most of his interaction is with patients - staff are too busy and volunteers provide the necessary welfare connections, especially with elderly and lonely patients.

I did not say that, and I do not support that - at all. What I said is, I *understand* how someone may react towards you specifically because you *represent* a nation that did X that impacted their lives, because of something (scratch what it doesn't apply) you did/your government did/your government supported.

>> I am a technical person... what can I do to prepare to develop.

Im miss quoting you on purpose. Cause you have all the right ideas just not in good order!

You have 4 years to just devour what ever you can. Learn in classes. Work on open source. Develop OTHER interests (all the electives you are going to have to take, find out what you like around those).

Have a summer job, or an internship. It doesn't matter where because programing is almost everywhere. You could work at Walmart and graduate and be ready to go work on their tech team cause you bring a blend of retail and tech that they dont get the chance to hire for.

Dont ignore your networking. Make friends, be nice, you dont have to be a door mat, or a push over, but people who ask for help that means you giving them your time ALWAYS SAY YES. They need you to help them move or swing a hammer for a day do it (more so if there is free beer).

Figure out what you like in tech and do some open source work. Help with an existing project. Be a user of it and a contributor. It doesn't have to be one it could be 10 of them. These are also people in your network and will give you invaluable experience going forward.

Most of all learn the basics from the past. The history of unix, why everything is the way it is. LDAP, DNS, SQL, understand these things (you dont have to be a master just know why they are that way and be able to speak to having used them once!

Never forget that you like this stuff. Dont ever stop "playing" with things, have spaces where you can break things, make major mistakes and NOT screw up your job or your livelihood! Its always going to be the best way to learn!

That's not what's happening, though. We are banning one app because of its origin country, not because of any principled reasoning on the app's contents.

If for some reason TikTok actually disappears, Meta's apps are still there and there will be plenty of money flowing into a new competitor with similar UX.
Some choice is good, but too much choice can make it difficult for people. Desktop Linux is a perfect example of too much choice being a barrier widespread adoption.

But that’s not really what I’m talking about, as I don’t think people are actively thinking about that.

What I’m talking about is more about the walled garden that creates a space where users know their devices are going to work really well together. An iPhone with AirPods, an Apple Watch, iPad, and a MacBook are going to allow users to do more things, more easily, than if all those similar products were bought from random other companies with choice in mind. Then there are features like AirDrop that are really nice when dealing with people with other Apple products. A lot of these things get rolled out and adopted successfully because Apple has a lot of vertical integration and isn’t too worried about anything outside their garden, they just want the experience for their customers to be good, which it is. Breaking this apart in the name of choice will make these things worse, in all likelihood. This is bad for current Apple customers who enjoy having this level of integration.

I view Apple products like video game consoles. No one is telling Sony they need to make Playstation VR work with the Switch, nor is anyone telling Nintendo that they need to release Tears of the Kingdom on Xbox. I don’t see how Apple is any different. These are all walled gardens. Apple is more open than the consoles.

Apple makes hardware to run its software, other companies make software to run on generic hardware. These are two distinct business models and governments shouldn’t be forcing one business to operate like a completely different business. Forcing Apple to operate like Microsoft or Google is removing user choice, by eliminating their model from the market, a model a subset of users clearly like the result of. Kind of funny that no one had a problem with it for 40 years, and it’s only now that they’ve become more successful that people are trying to kill it; people who likely aren’t even Apple customers.

I think a lot of these pushes for Apple to open up are being driven by people, companies, or organizations, that stand to profit from Apple failing. If customers had a problem they would stop buying the products, yet we’ve seen iOS market share go up, which likely means people are switching from Android to iOS. Why would that be if Apple is so terrible and controlling? It can’t all be about iMessage.
I’m not saying it’s an intelligence choice in that you’re stupid if you eat meat. I’m saying that it is possible to have a nutritionally complete diet without including meat, and that that is a decision that we can make as humans.

Your sources don’t even refute this. Yes, supplementation for things like B12 and omegas are required. We eat a variety of fortified foods in the modern age anyway and supplementation is trivial. Yes, you need to eat a diverse range of foods to obtain a balance of essential nutrients. That doesn’t mean you cannot maintain long term health on a vegan diet.
Predictably, gets flagged!
There’s no lie, if you want to be in the field as a scientist that is an option just not a well paying one. We don’t focus on how much time programmers spend in meetings, because that’s not what defines the job.

Also, talking sci-fi as a meaningful reflection on how things would work is kind of silly. It’s not some academic projection of likely outcomes just whatever random nonsense makes for a good story/game.
Spot on, what a fucking grifter. A shame to this community.
That entire 'journal' seems to specialise in publishing things that wouldn't be publishable elsewhere, and many of the articles are by the founders of the journal.

I think the reason that the questions are taboo is that there is the problem of a small group of people who have a pre-defined narrative and try to cherry-pick facts to drive that narrative.

If you look up certain authors involved in many of these controversial studies, you'll find they have published many other studies driving at similar 'alt-right' / white supremacist controversial narratives, and almost never anything that might contradict that. Often, there are questions about why they cherry-picked a particular topic. If you look at the actual studies, they often don't even consider alternative hypotheses, and jump straight to the one that aligns to the narrative and present it as the conclusion, even when it is a long bow to draw.

For example, one of the retracted studies mentioned from 2012 relied on a 2011 study in chickens that looked at the correlation between chicken aggression and the PMEL gene (which relates to pigmentation, and is conserved across all vertebrates). However, the authors don't explain why they picked out PMEL for study, and don't consider the possibility that any correlation could be caused by other genes at a nearby locus in chickens (and hence correlated). What's more, whole genome association studies since in chickens (published by different people) didn't even find those genes as being one of a long list of genes associated with aggression.

On the topic of Whole Gene Association Studies, some of the group of usual suspects publishing this type of narrative-pushing paper did use a human WGAS and cherry picked 9 genes from it to try to tie them to geographic distribution. They didn't explain, as is typical, why those 9 genes should be singled out, or look at whether the genotypes in different regions are even the relevant ones.

Cherry picking things that support your narrative, and using flawed logic to back hateful alt-right theories is not really science (in the sense of Karl Popper), even if you found your own journal to publish it in and get your buddies to peer review everything, because you never publish anything that might falsify your existing beliefs.

The existence of this sort of thing explains why mainstream journals are reluctant to take papers that touch these subjects.

In addition to studying CS/SE subjects, gain knowledge in another field, e.g. biology, chemistry, mechanical or structural engineering, etc. Then seek out internships and then your first job in a field where the combination of both your areas of knowledge are valuable. Once you are working in the real world you will see problems, some of which you might even know how to solve. You should also build your network both within SE and outside of it. Those are the foundations for a startup.

That is explained in pretty much the section I quoted. The explanation of the effect is given in the article's links.

I built a custom chat UI for llama3 on groq
I was tired of getting rate limited when using Anthropic models like Claude, so I decided to build my own custom chat UI. Not being a developer, what looked like a simple task quickly turned into a sisyphean endeavor, especially trying to fix CSS. But with the help of Claude and GPT-4, (almost) everything is possible now.

In my day-to-day use, I often use snippets of prompts that I have to copy-paste here and there, so I added them as variables (just clicking on a variable will insert it into the text field and it will expand during runtime).

Yesterday, I saw that Groq added llama3 support, and it is not only very good but also blazingly fast. You need to try it to believe it:

(it uses my API key on a free tier, so the worst that can happen is the rate limit, which is generous on Groq).

Copyright isn’t real, and gatekeeping pop culture in this fashion is ahistorical and revisionist, it’s literally not a thing that existed like this until the 19th or even 20th century.

You can always pirate media/movies, above all else. Absolutely a case of it being always morally justified, unironically. Letting corpos take our popular social culture away with 150+ year exclusivity periods was never the intention.

Disney could not have been started today, the modern copyright law is corpos pulling up the ladder after stealing from the public domain themselves, openly and blatantly. They picked the public domain into their pocket and charge us to rent it back.
