This is a bad take. Of course methods meant for a local region don’t scale everywhere. Different regions require different methods of cultivation, and should be applied in the correct places.

Ideas like syntropic / successional agroforestry are needed to scale a place from having bad soil, to slowly accumulating nutrient density, and accumulate soil health. This then supports a successional planting of trees with an end goal of a mature forest with multiple healthy stories and a healthy loam underneath.

This doesn’t mean you need large herds of free animals (though obviously if you build these forests, you will accumulate more animal biodiversity since they can thrive there), but free roaming animals certainly can help in some circumstances. Though large herds of bipedal monkeys will definitely be needed.
I just read that article and enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing! I don’t think the author was arguing biological processes can’t be reverse engineered, but rather that the tools and approaches typically used by biology researchers may not be as effective as tools and approaches used by engineers.
Since that's nearly certainly less efficient at population expansion compared to physical violence. Conservatively, modern humans seem to settle at having 2~4 children per woman but historically it was not uncommon to have families of size exceeding 10.

The whole point is that if you accept the fact that expanding population is good a priori, this leads to stupid conclusions by the tyranny of exponential growth. Who cares if the average person is a slave when you have several hundred billion of them. Who cares if mothers die horribly after being forced to carry child after child.

Personally I think the only consistent viewpoint is some form of logarithmic population * average well being metric to measure utility. From that perspective, I have no clue how a policy maker should act today. Hopefully smarter minds than mine figure it out!
yes - LLMs tuned based on data science publications will be great. need a dataset of papers with reliable and well-performed analysis.
Notably though it works quite well even with the general purpose LLMs. The key was to break the complex process into smaller steps where results from upstream steps are used downstream. that also creates papers where every downstream result is programmatically linked to upstream data.
I believe their tongue is firmly planted in their cheek.

It's in the context of how the FAANG segment of the tech industry has become overbearing and is cheerfully destroying all sorts of great things in order to replace them with more tech.

Jellyfin is great & amazing. Been using the Debian repo for a while now & overall just a huge upgrade to my life. Especially with (non-iphone) devices being able to control & cast.

I still kind of want to burn it all down though. It's such a thick & heavy system. I just want a better world where there's media vaults exposed, that various clients can consume & push to devices. (I want the browser to be able to be both intermediary here and target ideally.)

The huge monolith feels so cumbersome. So much is close but full of gnits. The browsing interface frequently makes it very difficult to get to the next episode; it wants to be smart & just doesn't always cut it & leaves no fall backs. The remote control interface desyncs. The remote control interface tries to adjust colors, I think, but sometimes creates a low contrast or zero contrast interface that's impossible to use.

It's just so big. This fork of an old old huge Emby app... It feels like smaller pieces would work better. It's wild that DLNA for so close, but didn't really cut it; that it's small pieces loosely coupled haven't quite become good enough, somehow. I think a bunch of that is that the controllers on each device never connected, where-as Jellyfin is a centralized system that keeps track of what you're watching.

Jellyfin is probably the most dualistic of softwares that I run. Most loved, most hated. Incredibly thick to try to wrangle; hope of evolvability is low; the monolith has landed and isn't likely to be heavily moving from here. Beware monoliths.
So at 9:55PM in central Kansas, you could see definite pink/red in the north (vertical strips, reminiscent of sunset/sunrise through clouds) and a bright colorless/maybe greenish patch straight up. Also some faint pink to the west. The color was unmistakable in the north though and only required a minute or so of dark adaptation after coming out of the house. It's dark skies here but not extremely dark. Funny thing is the aurora itself made the sky very not-dark.
People on minimum wage don’t get a chance to build savings are probably living month to month. Though it’s not an earth shattering of money it is meaningful to a lot of people.
FWIW, the traditional, 1980s approach uses fingerprints, which are binary vectors. Here's the same search using RDKit's "Morgan" fingerprints, with radius 2, and count enumeration simulation enabled, using my "chemfp" project.

% curl -O 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/fzliu/8052bd4d609bc6260ab7e8c838d2f518/raw/f1c9efb816d6b8514c0a643323f7afa29372b1c4/fda_approved_structures.csv'
% chemfp csv2fps --type "RDKit-Morgan radius=2 countSimulation=1" fda_approved_structures.csv -o fda_approved_structures.fps
% simsearch --query "CC(C)CC1=CC=C(C=C1)C(C)C(O)=O" -k 10 fda_approved_structures.fps --out csv
query_id,target_id,score
Query1,Dexibuprofen,1.0000000
Query1,Ibuprofen,1.0000000
Query1,Loxoprofen,0.5185185
Query1,Tyrosine,0.4782609
Query1,Suprofen,0.4716981
Query1,Iofetamine I-123,0.4583333
Query1,N-acetyltyrosine,0.4339623
Query1,Naproxen,0.4259259
Query1,Hydroxyamphetamine,0.4222222
Query1,Carprofen,0.3898305

This is where it would take a pharmaceutical chemist to compare the two lists.

For example, Suprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug which made my list but did not make the other list. There are oodles of ways to compare molecules, and decades of discussion about when to use what.

Also, RDKit could not parse two of the SMILES strings:

1) Cyanocobalamin has a 4-valent nitrogen

Explicit valence for atom # 84 N, 4, is greater than permitted

2) Temoporfin uses an invalid bond notation in "C\-1N2".

These are the sorts of issues which require a deeper analysis to detect than molecule_vectorizer provides.

EDIT:

It looks like molecule_vectorizer uses RDKit to parse the SMILES string and generate RDKit fingerprints by default (or Morgan fingerprints as an option). These are binary, and count simulation wasn't used.

Those SMILES parse errors should have been caught as part of the process. Without digging deeper, I can't figure out what happened.

(My initial guess was that used text-based tokenization, like the n-mer approach in "Lingos, Finite State Machines, and Fast Similarity Searching", by Grant et al.)

Knowing now that it uses the RDKit path fingerprints, I can re-run chemfp on the same data set:

% chemfp csv2fps --type RDKit-Fingerprint fda_approved_structures.csv -o fda_approved_structures.fps
% simsearch --query "CC(C)CC1=CC=C(C=C1)C(C)C(O)=O" -k 10 fda_approved_structures.fps --out csv
query_id,target_id,score
Query1,Ibuprofen,1.0000000
Query1,Dexibuprofen,1.0000000
Query1,Loxoprofen,0.6725664
Query1,Phenylacetic acid,0.5175439
Query1,Naproxen,0.5056180
Query1,Fenoprofen,0.4825737
Query1,Ketoprofen,0.4333333
Query1,Dexketoprofen,0.4333333
Query1,Mandelic acid,0.4127517
Query1,Oxeladin,0.4080000

which is a perfect match to the list given on the linked-to writeup.

> A few food-poisonings can make one cautious about food safety...

Fun fact: most people's claims of food poisoning, particularly from restaurants, are actually Norovirus outbreaks that they get from touching common elements like door handles, and faucets in bathrooms, and so have nothing to do with the food. Actual food poisoning is much rarer than most people think.
I wonder how this will go over politically with the wikipedia community. AI is such a hot button issue, and the risk of hallucinating and saying something wrong seems more pressing in this application then most.
I find it wild that the training process can do such things as forcing it repurpose background areas to begin with. The authors just observed abd optimized what the model was already doing by itself.
> 'sort of' and 'very shallow', I said.

Yes, but you also said it was more than rainfall. A towel is so overly shallow that it becomes less than rain.

> Any porous material would be a lot more resistant to rain than the wet towel, for example.

That doesn't sound right to me. Rain will stick around in spots, and those spots will be wetter than under a towel.

> ...it seems houses have little room to appreciate further.

I keep thinking this, too. But my neighbors home just sold for $894/square foot and the first 3 offers they accepted were all $80k to $100k over their asking price which was already fucking insane to me (and I own the same model on a "better" lot but they put in ~$40k in renovation before listing -- forget whether or not I could even afford to buy my own home if I tried to buy it today, I straight up wouldn't even bother. It has literally not been worth the sticker price for close to 2 years now). They had 8 offers the weekend they listed, the first 3 they accepted fell through because those buyers were accepted on other homes they liked more. The offer that went through was $50k over asking. The new owners put 20% down and mortgaged the other 80%. It's an absolutely staggering monthly payment -- effectively the same house on effectively the same lot but they're paying nearly 4x what we are monthly on housing.

There was an article today about our local housing market [0]. I cannot wrap my head around who the fuck is buying these homes and where the hell they're getting their money from. I've thought for years now that we were reaching the top of this market but here we are. It's a very, very hot market where I am, which was also true when we bought here back in 2015/2016, but now the prices have more-than doubled.

I still have my Oxygen 402 [1] that I learned 3d modeling on, you needed these pro cards to work in OpenGL apps like Softimage. It went for $5k in early 97 but by mid 98 it had fallen to ~$750 when I got mine. The 90s were wild for how fast hardware went obsolete.

IMO, it's OK for AI vendors to provide some censorship of the AI responses, as long as they're clearly stating that the response was censored, and provide an Opt-out of censorship option.

It will be also useful to clearly state what exactly is censored, and which bias that censorship has. Plus the ethical guidelines used for this censorship.

In case the opt-out isn't technically possible because of the way the model was built, the Censorship disclose should be provided with every response.

Likewise, when a user shares the vendor's AI responses publicly, the censorship (including the absence of it) disclosure should be clearly shown.
In my last homework the professor omitted a required assumption and I nevertheless proved the false assertion. Extremely embarrassing. This happened earlier in the semester and I correctly failed to finish the homework problem. I am getting tired I guess.
Prototypes vs. Classes (1998)
I think you're confused about curation and unlimited freedom being possible? Those are not at odds with each other. Game devs will provide a world that they enjoy creating stories in. They'll playtest characters and write their backstories and whatnot. Then they'll hand that curated world over to the players. The players are then free to experience the world "as intended", or create their own new ways of making stories in that world.
Archie was FTP search.

FTP is the best. Invaluable when building a system from the ground up, starting from only a minimal rootfs and a compiler, building GNU make and then all the software one needs. FTP allows one to retrieve source code tarballs without the need for DNS and the hassle of compiling an SSL library and making sure certificates are up-to-date (because so-called "tech" companies forced seemingly every website to disable http access and redirect http to https). I compile systems from source. I do not rely on binary packages and package managers.
I’m not sure it’s so simple. Socioeconomic studies indicate that the worse shape you’re in, the less social mobility you are likely to have. Moving on a whim might not be possible for many of these people.

On the other hand, contaminants concentrating further down stream is a known phenomenon and we known we’ve inundated many places with hormone disrupting substances. It doesn’t seem all that complicated or far fetched.

Both could be factors, and I’m not aiming to be contrarian so much as investigate the possibilities a bit. It’s an interesting topic

If only there was some kind of magic device that has basic input facilities coupled with some kind of simple graphics output.

I jest, but I think a very basic computational platform - think 6502-style - with simple graphics could be standardized upon and anointed as universal educational computation base.

If you don’t touch the instruction set this can go a long way. The outputs of course need to be universal, but we have some experience with outputting stuff on machines. I think we are able to come to some sort of useable situation.

Think PDF or whatever with built-in NES emulator.

Of course not, however did you get there?
If you follow some basic rules, you don’t have to worry about economic fluctuations or crashes.

1) Save diligently.

2) Think in terms of 5 or 10 years.

3) Have sufficient cash accessible for emergencies.

4) Do not over leverage yourself such that a job loss or housing crash will immediately crush you.

5) Diversify your assets sufficiently. Don’t have all your money in your company’s stock.

First of all, you brought up the comparison with the US. I prefer more focused conversations, so I'm not sure what we're really discussing here.

My point is that personal freedoms such as the right of data ownership are more restricted in an autocratic state. This is just the way these governments operate, and citizens have no say in the matter. Say what you will about the US, it still hasn't reached that level of control over its population.

I'm arguing against your point that the situation is the same in the US. It absolutely isn't. But please avoid whataboutisms in the future, since it only serves to derail the topic.

But nobody cares about who has the “largest” economy if the GDP per capita is middle income.

China has absolutely not blow past the middle income trap. 600M live on less than $140/month according to Chinese statistics.

If they hope to get anywhere close to the standard of living of developed countries they will need to quadruple the size of their economy which even at 9% would take 2 decades.
It's been quite some time since I've heard them referred to as the "gold standard". Might be time for Jonney Shih to step down. Across their product lines, I've known them for high failure rates for years upon years and no longer recommend them.

By contrast, AsRock back during the heyday of Asus was seen as second-rate, but they've been delivering solid reliable products year after year after year. They also make plenty of niche stuff as well that appeals to the prosumer cachet.

I tend not to put that much stock in brands and think all of them will release lemons though, but Asus has been producing more crap than most.
