> but, here on earth...

Well, yeah. If you assume we keep doing everything the same as we do right now, we'll get similar results to what we are getting right now. You've put your finger on the core issue with that paragraph, but I suspect not in the way you intended.

What you're not dealing with is that the likelihood we figure out alternative ways of doing things is extremely high. Or it would be if we didn't have a brain-dead regulatory state in the West that blocks us from doing things differently. We're talking a fuel source where we can fit the energy equivalent of 10 trains of coal into an 2L ice cream container - assuming no improvements from using Uranium. There aren't any laws of physics saying it has to be expensive to turn that into useful energy. We haven't really tested any part of the industrial supply chain to see how low costs can go. And any ideas the academics are having aren't being put in to the practice - or at least they weren't until the best and brightest over in China started getting involved. Hopefully it works out.

Not to mention that, as you point out, nuclear is also a technically superior form of energy in a bunch of specific applications where weight and volume are factors.

>, there is only one team or a few authors capable of understanding, reproducing, or verifying certain research

If the research isn't documented well enough to reproduce/verify, then the paper shouldn't pass review in the first place. The NIH could make it a condition of funding that papers are detailed enough to be reproducible.
It's hard to draw a link between negative prices and increased subsidies in most cases. The subsidies can be recouped during the no-negative periods. In addition, subsidies are not needed anymore to make wind and solar cost competitive. And with increased use of electric cars (and battery storage in general) we will see increased usage of this negative pricing to charge them so the negative price will diminish or go away.

Don't forget that we still produce most of our energy from coal, oil and gas. Most of that needs and will be replaced by electricity so there is a huge need for more electricity.
When you zoom out though, this engineering problem is a cultural and political one.

If you are designing apps in an environment of scammers and shameless grifters, the options for the societies you can build are reduced.

Focusing on the core issue of "how can we stop people from destroying nice things" is critical for society-scale engineering, as it frees ethical engineers to create more magnificent tools.

Ignoring law / politics / etc, and solely focusing on "how can I design this given presence of grifters" is muted engineering.
I think the premise is wrong. That "we" are still using it en masse and in ever increasing amounts.

We just call it different. Or use different underlying products. Nearly all web frameworks have some worker system built in. Many languages have async abilities using threads and messaging built in.

The only popular language and ecosystem I can think of that doesn't offer "worker queues" and messaging OOTB is JavaScript.

We are using it more than ever before. We just don't talk about it anymore, because it has become "boring" tech.
Maybe I'm totally lost, but this thread of self-replies makes me suspect a Markov chain generated them or something like that. The same is true for some—but not all—of your other comments, which feels really weird to me. Of course, maybe I'm way off base, and what you're saying makes total sense and is just going over my head.

I wonder if dang (or another mod) has already seen this....
looks like you could have had a blue/green DB setup which would give you one less system to maintain and other benefits that a simple queue don't provide.

also, what do you do when the queue is down?
It's fascinating that somebody sees these things as "original". I used to maintain a 40-year old ETL codebase in SAS. IMHO the original low code movement was the 4GL movement from the 70s (and, according to Wikipedia, rapid application development movement from the 90s, things like Visual Basic).

I think fundamentally, the problem is that any DSL lives on a design tradeoff spectrum between domain-specificity and programming-generality. There is only so much savings that a generic ETL tool will give you, because it doesn't want to be domain specific. On the other hand, the more domain specific a tool is, the more limited it will be in it's capacity to handle other domains.

No amount of graphic or textual interface is gonna save you from this fundamental design tradeoff (it's kind of complexity tradeoff - things inside domain are easy but outside the domain are hard). But then, you can as well handle this tradeoff in a decent library/framework for a general programming language, which is, effectively, a "return to code".

Other way to look at it is that we want limited programming languages, because the implicit assumptions make things easier for the reader of the code (the person who wants to understand). However, limitations make things harder for the writer of the code (the person who wants to solve some problem).

ExectOS – brand new operating system which derives from NT architecture
Hello,

I am excited to introduce ExectOS, a new open-source operating system built on the powerful XT architecture, a direct descendant of the time-tested NT architecture. With ExectOS, you will get full NT compatibility.

As a free, community-driven project, ExectOS not only incorporates clever ideas from other open-source initiatives but also stands out with our own unique innovations that set it apart. We've designed it to support both i686 and x86_64 architectures. It should be also easily portable to other architectures.

Dive into the world of ExectOS and join us in shaping its future. Learn more on our website at https://exectos.eu.org/, where you can explore our vision. If you are ready to be part of the conversation, our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/zBzJ5qMGX7 is the perfect place to connect, collaborate, and contribute.

Capers are very common in my family's refrigerators, but still mostly used for a single dish (Königsberger Klopse). And the jars have been tiny for as long as I can remember. So it seems to be a universal design decision.
1. Read biographies of people who did it. (Re-read those books sometimes; you'll know when.)

2. Read business books by people who consistently lead/advised at that level.

3. Find your philosophy. (Hint: this happens within, in your inner world.)

— You only need two or three great books in each category to really get going. Date of publication doesn't matter much; try to vary across backgrounds and decades, centuries.

4. Exercise a minimum on a weekly basis.

5. Eat well. Sleep well.

And train that voice within to become a perfect friend.
(Funny to think you only have to will it to get that in life, just… inside.)

That's the TL;DR.

The rest will be self-evident on your journey, and involve a lot of luck. But if you're like most people, were you to reach a few % of that wealth, you'd probably stop right there and no longer worry about money, for the rest of your life. Incredibly few have the will to 10× that, then 10× again, because it's exponentially harder and comparatively useless.

Does this also manage the infrastructure side of ETL? Usually some parts in a complex ETL process take a lot more processing power, so are run on different machines. From a quick glance at this, it seems like a WYSIWYG ETL tool for running ETL jobs on one machine?
> You’re trying to avoid addressing my point. What can GPT do that’s interesting without a human in the loop doing the prompting?

Oh, not much. Training a network to do a prompted task is a lot easier than training a network to do unguided action selection because we don't really have a good textual dataset for that.

> the chess engine can play checkers, poorly.

Disagree: you're not gonna get any valid checkers moves out of the engine. It's a 0-to-1 thing. GPT-3 gets you to 1. There's a lot of Youtube videos of GPT-3 doing chess games that basically get through the opening and then fall over with invalid moves. This is the level of performance I refer to.

> There are lots of games GPT can’t play, like hide-and-seek, tag, and tennis.

Disagree: you can probably get GPT to play these. Show it a picture of the area and have it select a hiding spot or give you a search order. For tennis... something like have it write Python code for a tennis bot using image recognition? It'll probably fail, but it'll fail in the course of a recognizable attempt.

The hacker doesn't understand what they're getting themselves into, especially bragging about it. The hard part about going up against an entire nation/state is that it's relentless. The state never gets tired and never runs out of money, they could setup a team of people to 'work' on that individual and also potentially his present and future family members for a very long time. They can keep replenishing their teams with more people. The state always has a few people to spare for high-exposure targets. The leaders of that state might even forget about the existence of the individual but the operation will keep going until it's canceled... But since they forgot about the operation in the first place, it will keep going until there is some kind of broader administrative restructuring, cost-cutting or something... Which could be a long time away. Few things are more terrifying than totalitarian state bureaucracy.
For me the weird part is that they put in a gif of a researcher using a 'video wall' (apparently a projector combined with some gesture recognition?) to show one of these ice proteins...

Except the one shown looks like it is some helix-rich structure with a haeme group. Even if that is an ice-forming protein, I would have shown one with a beta helix instead, which have the properties mentioned - large surface for nucleation.

That's nonsense. You don't need any additional bureaucracy. That's just an excuse that bureaucrats use to justify their worthless existence. Do we need new courts and judges every time something new is made illegal?
Because one of the 3 basic principles of sovereignty (as is understood by western political philosophy, known as Westphalian sovereignty) is that there is no other authority inside a State’s borders except its own.

This means no other country has jurisdiction in North Korea, besides, there’s also no incentive to help in case DPRK asks for help.

France doesn’t investigante crimes that happen in Spain, Portugal doesn’t investigate crimes that haven in Canada, the USA doesn’t investigate crimes that happen in Germany, etc…
There are ways to help prevent it. For example, if social media had a built-in feature for citing scientific papers, that could help a little. There wouldn't really be an excuse not to include them. Also, if there was a better way to quantity the validity of papers (while somehow avoiding Goodharts law), that could give people a more efficient way to sort through information.

LLMs might help a little, if we could find a way to control for their bias.

Another strategy is comparing both extremes of an opinion. GroundNews has employed this strategy. Whether or not it's effective at preventing misinformation, I don't know. But it's an interesting idea.

The last and most important preventative technique is to teach people how to avoid confirmation bias. I think that is the source of most misinformation: the gullibility of the general population.

Pyongyang and prosecutors would have to show he attacked a “protected computer” under the CFAA [1]. Given the two routers he allegedly overwhelmed were internet connected, that shouldn’t technically be hard under Trotter and Kane. But it would be a novel expansion of interstate commerce to encompass a country with whom Americans cannot legally trade, i.e. do commerce.

Put another way, North Korea’s status as a sanctioned country might put this into a legal grey area—it might not be criminally punishable. To settle that question would take a lot of prosecutorial resources. It’s not clear those are well spent on a case where the witness won’t coöperate.

A p-zombie is something that looks and acts indistinguishably from a person, but doesn’t have an internal consciousness, ie. it provides sensory data, remembers past events, and exhibits behaviour, but it doesn’t “feel” or “experience” anything.

What is not talked about is that Mac pricing seems to have shot up over the last decade and my last Intel Mac, the lovely MBP16, cost an absolute bomb. We’re getting - speculatively - to the point where Apple’s OS is barely exceeding the AppleCare support or the amortized tax write-down.

The Sims reference (https://youtu.be/6-v1b9waHWY?t=112) was slightly anachronistic since it was released in early 2000 (and it's really weird to see the idealized hires vector graphics reto-re-rendering of a lores pixelated game), but the dancing baby was spot on.

The dancing baby (https://youtu.be/6-v1b9waHWY?t=124) was from a demo that shipped with 3D Studio Max's "Character Studio / Bipid / Physique" character animation and skinning system, which we used to make the character animation in The Sims. The baby and its dancing animations were included with Character Studio as a canned demo, along with some other animations you could apply to any skeleton.

It’s not a personal attack or anything,

But of course that's precisely what is. You're not providing any insight into the subject at hand here. You're simply talking up your vastly superior knowledge, and making weird projections about the person you're talking to.

What I notice about people who are genuinely knowledgeable and confident about a subject is that in general their deportment and tone are exact opposite of what's on display here.
It is perfectly reasonable to want all sorted collections of X to have a canonical order, but to still allow people to consider equivalent items to be equal.

The example someone else gives with +0 and -0 is very good: in most contexts, those two should probably be equal (+0.equals(-0)), but when sorting a list, you might want all -0s to come before all +0s (-0.compareTo(+0) == -1).

Given that Comparable is almost exclusively used for sorting, this is actually quite unlikely to cause problems in practice.

Of course, it's a much bigger problem if you use entirely different concepts of equality. For example, a Name class where a.equals(b) only if they have the exact same Unicode code points, but where a.compareTo(b) == 0 if they have the same Unicode codepoints after normalization would be crazy.

Edit: and of course BigDecimal from the example below does exactly this crazy thing...
Unrelated, but this is just a joy to use. Well done.
Yes, {} is a subset(⊂) of all sets, but it is not a member(∊) of all sets. For instance, {} is not a member of {{{}}}. In the Von-Neumann definition, 1:={0}={{}}. So, 0∊1, but 0 is not a member of {1} which is the above set. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic_definition_of_na...

There's a list of things the author did to change the "generate" side in the first two paragraphs of the article.

The heuristic isn't the fine-tuning, it's the actual LLM, which is clearly pruning the set of possibilities massively. That's a reasonably common usage of the word. I agree combining it with some kind of search would be interesting, but still I think you're being overly negative about the results here.

I'm actually busy training an alphazero for the arc problems, which I plan to try and hook up to a language model for reward generation, so we'll see how that fares!

Garlic canned in water is also unsafe unless it's acidified or processed at elevated pressure, and uniformly acidifying looks nontrivial.

That is indeed a nice feature of types: You can overload notions. In this case you overload the notion "principal cube root" (PCR) to mean different things for ℤ and for ℂ.

But really, "principal cube root" as you would like it to behave is not well-defined just for a number, you also need to provide the algebraic structure you consider it in, as in PCR(ℤ, -1) = -1, and PCR(ℂ, -1) = (1 + sqrt 3) / 2.

Alternatively, just set PCR(-1) = (1 + sqrt 3) / 2. That makes probably the most sense, as there is not much value in a PCR notion for integers in the first place.
This amuses me because I tend to use a fork even though I have spoons that can fit in my jars specifically to strain off the brine. I usually use capers to make salmon and cream cheese bagels, and I don't like drippy bagels.

Syntax does matter. That's one area where the Lisp people went right.

Lisp syntax is nice to work with irrespective of everything else, which was quite a discovery, which came as a surprise. The Lisp project itself didn't expect it; Lisp was supposed to be programmed in M-expressions. Furthermore, there was a second generation project, Lisp 2, that provided an Algol-like syntax over top of the Lisp internals.

Because syntax matters, M-expressions and Algol syntax for Lisp fell by the wayside. Other subsequent attempts also faced very limited success.
