I like you bringing in instrumental vs. terminal values because I think it is an important frame when talking about generative AI, but I think your application is mixed up by applying a strictly capital-based value system.

The end result of good code is to do a thing. That might result in money, but the instrumental value is in the thing it does rather than for the joy of coding.

Many people will assume that artists create things strictly for the terminal value of just doing the thing because the prose doesn’t “do” anything so the artist must have just enjoyed making it. But the artist usually wants to make an impact - communicate an idea, change a mind, etc. Not just “make a thing that looks like a poem so that I can sell it.”

I say this is an important frame to look at the problem in because there is pretty much zero instrumental value in generating LLM output beyond the kind of gatcha-style fun of putting in words and seeing something pop out the other end and the terminal value is always measured in money or “time efficiency” because what else is there to measure in?

Did I actually craft a love poem that communicates my true feelings in prose with all of the little flaws and personalizations that only we know in one of our most intimate relationships? Did I choose my voice or was it someone else’s? What is the value I’m getting when I fish something out of a generative AI? Did I really get the same value fishing with prompts through and AI’s output than making the thing? Maybe, maybe not.
Whereas Judaism, for all the smiting G-d does, doesn't have a hell. Though to be fair to the NT, forgiveness is Jesus's whole schtick, but the penal system hardly seems forgiving. Maybe because of the deleterious legacy of Puritanism, and Calvanist predestination, with the idea that some people are born saved and others deserve their scarlet letters.

> it targets only Israel without laying any blame or responsibility on the Hamas

The reason students are asking their schools to divest from Israel but not from Hamas is because no western schools are funding Hamas or corporations that sell weapons to Hamas. You want protest camps set up to demand schools keep not doing that?

> the UN just updated its casualty statistics

I just looked them up (https://www.ochaopt.org/). 34,904+ killed, 70,000 homes destroyed, and 1.7 million people displaced in Gaza. I agree Hamas is probably worse than the Israeli government in some sort of doctrinal or deontological sense, but in terms of actual atrocities committed, it is not even close at this point.
Not really. He certainly got some things wrong like heavier things falling faster than lighter ones, but he wrote on an enormous variety of topics, from physics, to biology, to literature, to ethics. His knowledge was broader than it was deep. His works summarized and synthesized most of what was known in his time, and was useful for centuries afterwards. The problem with Aristotle isn't so much him as the fact that the Catholic Church decided in the Middle Ages that (even though he lived before Christianity) that he was right about everything and that people who felt otherwise were heretics.
I have a hard time grokking your wording, but I'd like to point out that Bayes' Rule is typically "typed" to events (i.e. B is of type "event").

That being said, I don't think this needs to be the case. The syntax could "compile" differently depending on context.

From my understanding, Bayes' Rule is more about updates to pre-existing probabilities, which we label with the suggestive name 'beliefs', which aren't necessarily tied to a human's mental state.

I do agree with your last paragraph, but I also accept that those profs likely do so because some majority or plurality of students do hols that belief. That being said, there's definitely room for different wording.
Agree. I'm going to need a bit more information before I take the time to download this. Where is the compelling argument. Awful splash page to explain what this is.

Sure, I've felt it. The sales pitch here is part of what I'm feeling.

Is there any good literature on this topic?

I feel like math is naturally one of the easiest sets of synthetic data we can produce, especially since you can represent the same questions multiple ways in word problems.

You could just increment the numbers infinitely and generate billions of examples of every formula.

If we can't train them to be excellent at math, what hope do we ever have at programming or any other skill?

Is that just a thought experiment? Almost all mental illnesses I am aware of seem to be experienced continuously, maybe with an ebb and flow in intensity.

But even if such a person existed and the phobia wasn't persistent without a doubt the person would suffer from related anxieties. I don't believe that you could suffer from such a condition and be mentally well for any amount of time, although I certainly see your point that during certain periods the person might be able to make an informed decision.

Yes, this is true to a large extent; the "golden age" thinkers are very often Persians, Greeks, Berbers, etc. returning to the status quo before the disaster of the conquests. There aren't all that many Arab figures represented in the Golden Age, for whatever reason - maybe something to do with the culture around conquest...?

> Wouldn't homes just benefit more from replacing their existing furnace+AC systems with a heat pump if it's necessary, rather than installing mini splits in each zone and running refrigerant pipes all over the outside of the housing structure.

Yes, if you have an existing forced air system you can get a heat pump sized for your furnace instead of doing mini-splits. You could probably just replace the condenser with the heat pump, since a heat pump is just an air conditioner that can run in reverse. The coils inside the furnace may need to be replaced for the heat pump.
> And those primitive humans had the same capabilities we do today.

Evolution has been ongoing on humans the whole time we've been a species. Drinking milk in adults has only been a capability we've had for ~6000 years. I'd be hard pressed to claim that there haven't been other capabilities that have evolved over that time that led to our ability to have more social organization.
The comment you are replying to talks about "false positive vs false negative optimization". Are there cases where CPS should just not do anything because the probability of abuse is so low? Yes. If you are implying that we should take "no chances", then CPS should just take everybody's children away from them. After all, there's always more than 0% chance that someone is beating their child.
I talk to folks who are involved in proof engineering and they disagree here. It is possible to prove large systems when you have good automation. But perhaps it's writing the automation that is hard right now due to a small overlap in skills.

Writing the proofs is one thing but writing the automation that scales those proofs to a larger system and which makes it easy to extend the system without breaking the proofs constantly is key and requires more "engineering" focused people rather than proof-focused ones.
To be fair, it was already on fire, you just didn't know it yet!
I mentioned FDR due to his being President at the time of Gödel’s interview. Perhaps he was aware of the possibilities of government overreach, Constitution or Amendments be dammed, such as the internment of American citizens and others in camps during World War 2, though they were neither suspected nor guilty of any crime. Many of them weren’t even ethnically or racially Japanese, which is eerily similar to German atrocities committed during the war.

Many folks today aren’t aware that actions of the US government in its treatment of migrant workers, Native Americans and others who were US citizens under the Bracero program, including detainment, torture, and even usage of Zyklon B itself were all known to German authorities and intentionally replicated in German treatment of Jews and other groups deemed undesirable during the war. The racism, discrimination, and xenophobia of America was pointed at and acknowledged by Germany, and Germans sought to emulate it.

Worked makes it seem like you throw a switch and it just gives you position data. Those units take anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes to align, if you move the platform, it will error out and you must restart the alignment. The current systems take their initial fix from GPS, but the initial systems, the operator had to manually know and then key that information into the unit.

"A farewell to Alms"

This book explains it extremely well and backs it up with data in excruciating detail (which you can read or skip if you're convinced early on).

People think that Malthus predicted exponential population growth, but his actual observation was exactly what the above comment described. Growth in productivity would lead to growth in population until wealth per capita reached the same point it was at before. No improvement in productivity would ever actually improve the human condition, just increase its size. Malthus was absolutely right at the time he made this observation of his so called "Malthusian trap".

The observation you make about the modern world and lower birth rates started very abruptly not long after Malthus published his findings. The industrial revolution literally invalidated what had been true for all of human civilization up to that point.

I've been in love with D3.js and have used it as the key technology for dozens of data visualization projects, both commercial and personal. However, its rendering syntax now feels dated, reminiscent of the jQuery era. While I still use various auxiliary functions (e.g., for ease or scaling), I now create actual components in a modern framework (in my case, Vue 3 and TypeScript).

Despite this shift, I am grateful to D3.js for the beautiful years it gave me and for teaching me various good practices in data visualization. The defaults and demos by Mike Bostock have been both an inspiration and an example of good standards, aligned with Tufte's minimalism.

It’s really frustrating how the remix/react router maintainers refuse to examine how their major version changes have caused pain for tons of developers out there.

There’s a reason why this feedback keeps coming up again and again.

I think the fact that the team chose the React Router name tells me they don’t understand how tainted the name is for a lot of experienced front end devs.

And moving forward it’s going to be even harder to search for issues when you stumble on a problem because the names of Remix/React Router have been polluted over the years.

So the city has to build a new $50 million dollar sewage treatment plant in the hopes of getting that paid back over 50 years of property taxes, and gets no say in the matter or the cities budget? Sewage treatment plants have finite capacity, can't be built on a 'serves 20 units' incremental scale, and oftentimes new plants have much stricter requirements than grandfathered in one. Not everywhere is the bay area where they can scale up by just piping it out a few miles into the ocean and call it good.

Mostly referring to ie. public access parks that are closed to cars, streets that have been closed to traffic, temporary bike lanes. Drivers feel as though these are punishments foisted upon them simply because they exist and do not serve them as motorists.

> Living in a single-family home next to an office tower isn't any worse than living in a condo tower next to an office tower.

By the way, this is very common in many Latin American countries such as Colombia. When you walk through these neighborhoods it's at first a bit odd because you're not used to seeing single family homes next to towers (coming from the US at least). But then you realize it's totally fine and the neighborhoods are in many cases really really nice.

I feel like one partial solution for NIMBY brain is travelling to cities in other countries and seeing things are different and realizing that it's actually totally fine.

Having worked in a position where it was part of the job description to periodically report parents to CPS, my experience was that it was actually quite challenging to get CPS to take up a case, even when there was lots of evidence suggesting abuse was taking place. In general, CPS seemed to work very hard to prevent false positives, and concerned itself far less with false negatives.

At the time, I remember finding that frustrating, but in retrospect I think it was the right approach. Why? Because invalid reports are always going to vastly outnumber valid ones, in part because it is easy to be judgmental about someone else's parenting for a variety of prejudicial reasons, so "innocent until proven guilty" should be the default stance of any agency tasked with investigating such reports.

That is why stories about shaken baby syndrome are so galling, because the faux-science sets up a "guilty until proven innocent" scenario, which is definitely the wrong approach.
At no point am I advocating for not removing abused children from their abusive circumstances and placing them in foster care

These kinds of feats aren't more or less impressive with age. Maybe the opposite, teens have so much free time.

When I was 17 I was working on a programming language, and I promised myself I would find the time to finish it during college. But during college I didn't have the time.

I have two friends who founded a startup at 16, one of which was quite succesful. I can think of two seperate friends who started a Minecraft hostar at 16, both of which makes up the majority of minecraft servers hosted in the Netherlands currently and one of them is now a generic hostar with his own datacenter.

And this isn't a problem in and on itself, but phrasing it like this discourages older people to work on pet projects. I started working as a Cyber Security TA at a private IT school and older students keep telling me "I'll never be as good as you because I didn't start so young" and it's a harmful mindset. Because it only took me a few years to learn what I know. Stating your age everywhere as a young developer reinforces this mindset in people.

If you want to see a teen/student do cool stuff. I suggest checking Adam McDaniel on GitHub. That dude really is impressive.

For example, the remains of Salvador Dali were exhumed in 2017 because someone claimed to have been his biological child entitled to some of his estate. Not only did Dali not consent to this, but parties (including a foundation associated with him) pointed out that testing against other parties could have ruled out the possibility of Dali being the biological father.

I asked myself how the gyroscope manages to point always to point to the same direction.
The answer is that only objects moving translational form an inertial frame, rotating objects don't:

> Due to Earth's rotation, its surface is not an inertial frame of reference. The Coriolis effect can deflect certain forms of motion as seen from Earth, and the centrifugal force will reduce the effective gravity at the equator. Nevertheless, it is a good approximation of an inertial reference frame in many low precision applications.
