Weird to post an article decrying the concept of pivoting on a news site for tech startups, but sure, it's the leftists' fault.
This explains a lot about America today. There's a related quote:

> Kim Davis debacle

One Kentucky county clerk refused same sex marriages to people ten years ago, was then jailed for it, forced to do it anyway and this is evidence that many people feel they have the right not to deal with LGBTQ+ people in all the years since?
Heya,

There is currently an additional special exhibition on there as well, containing first-hand accounts from survivors who were high school students at the time.
It looks like the next generation of *mont cores will be as big and capable as Skylakes. With E cores like this, who needs P cores?

Also, Intel was definitely onto something with the split decoders IMO. The x86 instruction set hurts to decode 8-wide in a single thread, but most code is branchy and loopy, so you only hurt in this configuration if loops are really big. Tight loops come from the uop cache, and branchy code gets 3-way decoding.
"It can take effort to moderate" Hah, I run a database/wiki (kpopping.com) and it's almost four fulltime jobs per week (150ish hours) to moderate and maintain and we've been doing it for eight years.

Oh well, I don't understand the sunk cost phenomenon and do it for things besides money, but most people like being financially rewarded for these kinda herculean efforts. So we get what we deserve. And what google gives us.
> Adobe getting $0 from me

Yeah but they’re getting all the money from everyone else.

Adobe are not idiots, they ran the numbers and figured that subscriptions bring in more money. If that means tombert won’t give them money, good riddance.
Treaty on European union 42.7

If a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other Member States shall have towards it an obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. This shall not prejudice the specific character of the security and defence policy of certain Member States.

Commitments and cooperation in this area shall be consistent with commitments under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which, for those States which are members of it, remains the foundation of their collective defence and the forum for its implementation.

in general this is a framework to

- have big players to spend money, have a team that for this, and have effective "parental controls" (have more age-appropriatedness controls, more tagging options for users/content, etc)

- have an EU center that works on the technological part of the problem
I think the government is more reasonable than the private corporations. As an example, I got suspended by Facebook yesterday with nobody to contact. All my friends from school, relatives, and former coworkers are gone - with most of them I was connected only via Facebook. All my messages in Facebook Messenger groups have been deleted! Everything that I ever posted, shared, or reacted to - gone! With no recourse - all at the mercy of some 20-year-old reviewer. Yeah, the government sucks, but private corporations suck much more! At least I can complain to the government and talk to real people!

I know there are alternatives to Facebook - I've pitched all of them to my friends, but people my age are still only on Facebook.
Record keeping doesn't need writing. Like Incas with their knotted ropes (probably not how how you call it in English).

Also, while some central Asians could read and write (they had courrier relay to deliver letters), their administrative/taxing/military system, the decimal system, worked without any writing for two thousand years, only by making a mark on a wooden branch for each person in an Arban, a mark on another for each Arban, again for each Ja'un, again for each minggan. That's how they counted and this was taught without text for at least 1500 years (Mongols wrote something about it in the 13th century, but this system is at least from 300BCE and the Xiongnus)
It seems like almost half the discussion on this godforsaken website is midwits picking specific words to argue over for no apparent reason. My favorite activation phrases is "AIs can hallucinate and make mistakes."
Its not a test of AGI. It tests whether you possess innate human capacities: rudimentary arithmetic & geometry, etc. Most of the problems were created manually. The original paper states that they limited the test to innate human priors to make the scope well-defined.
> one version of Apple's Photos for MacOS that has not been topped in terms of its retouch

When? Do you have any articles/videos showing the difference? I can’t find any.

The only major loss I’m aware of is when they left iPhotos and Aperture in the dust.
Why is this not useEffect(() => document.title = 'whatever'); What's the pain point exactly?

It does seem pretty weird to put it inline with the jsx. There's no indication it has a non-local effect on the DOM. Feels a bit magic for my taste.

Very little of what react does seems reasonable to me though.
This is addressed in the second half of the article

> Strictly following Moseley and Marks’s definition, the fact that we can get the user (or the customer, or the product owner) to accept a change of requirements, implies that the removed complexity wasn’t essential in the first place.

There's also the point that countries with close economic ties have more to lose by going to war with each other.

yes, sometimes. Its mostly the opposite of what people expect, but truth is often stranger than fiction.

The MEV and Sandwicher attackers are legal, increase the transaction costs for everyone, skim profits from everyone and annoy everyone, the exploiter of a MEV bot gets charged and convicted.

I don't have any problem with that, I've analyzed the sentiment of discussion though.

I don't think anyone got charged and said code is law. Its more about who gets charged at all.
Trading can be fun, but it’s pointless if you could just download anything onto your card. Pokémon with a GameShark is just a totally different experience.
I stopped paying attention to web dev for a few years, and those were the years when everything went from hand-written HTML + JS (+ PHP/ASP on the server side) to the likes of Node and React etc. You can imagine my confusion when I checked back in.

I'm dipping my toes in now for the first time since then, and I gotta say - I don't hate it as much as I thought I would. Yes, you can end up with library soup if you're not careful, but a lot of what used to be difficult is now quite easy. There's been genuine forward progress, and it's really nice to see.

(Though there does appear to be some kind of allergy in the web dev space to describing things intelligibly. It's never "XYZ is a stateless UI library built in TypeScript", it's always "XYZ lets you build bleeding-edge shardable solutions in the Web 3.7 space using YAML elem-nodes called 'qooms'. Let our bosomy anime mascot walk you through our getting started guide by simply piping this Discord link into a superuser shell")

Intel's product name foe Thunderbolt was initially was "Light Peak".
I've never read the Chinese Suihua cohort study so I'm not going to speculate or comment on it.

I think "in the last few generations" is a little speculative. There's strong evidence for epigenetic changes being passed from parents, but going further back the evidence is much weaker.

> what issue do you take with the Dutch hunger study

It's a really narrow study of a rather genetically homogeneous group picked from a really small geographic area and it has all of the issues of any retrospective study. The outcome could just be random chance. If you look at any small closely related group you're just going to find some sort of weird clustering, even if it varies in that group. If similar epigenetic markers showed up in other populations with similar well documented circumstances it would be stronger.
I'll reiterate that I don't believe it to be the case that animals with smaller brains are not self-aware, but wanted to counter that it HAS to be a smooth gradient of level of consciousness between simpler and more complex brains. It can be stepped.

However, if it were the case, you don't need to explain it, only observe it. For example, I think we can say from observation that there needs to be a minimal complexity. n-neurons cannot be self aware and n+1 can. I'm sure it's not just the number, but you get the point. The gradient of self-awareness need not start at the gradient of intelligence, nor need it have the same slope.

I don't believe in non-physical explanations. We don't know the mechanism though, so we do actually do need to explain why some permutations of matter, as you put it, (i.e. the permutation in brains) has this sense, and others (matter in rocks, matter in computers?) does not. Although I'd think process, rather than just arrangement.
>So this is maybe 2x existing lithium-ion technology. That's about what everybody else is claiming for next-generation solid state batteries

It is sort of sad to think the future of Apple Watch and AirPod is only getting at best 2x battery life, and that is assuming they dont make it even smaller.
> The efficiency x longevity trade-off is inherent to the incandescent bulbs, you can't just wave all of Quantum Mechanics away. Material changes will increase or decrease the entire pair, and bulbs were already made with the best material that could possibly be used.

What you're ignoring is that although a different material would still have the trade off, the optimal point on the curve for that material could be in a different place. Material A lasts for 1000 hours at a given amount of light/watt, Material B only lasts for 500 hours at that amount of light/watt, but lasts for 3000 hours at only 15% less light/watt, which some people might want. As an example, there are some applications where the bulb is repeatedly being turned on for only short periods of time, which would tend to shorten lifespan from thermal stress but also implies that power efficiency is less important because the bulb isn't continuously on.

The optimal trade off would also be different for different people. If your light bulb is hard to reach, saving two bucks worth of electricity over its lifetime may not be worth having to drag out a ladder or disassemble a piece of equipment to change it more often. If you have electric heat in a cold climate, a bulb that generates a higher ratio of heat to light isn't costing you anything because you were only going to use a different kind of electric heater regardless. But the cartel took those peoples' options away, claiming that the trade off could only be made one way.

And even for a given material, the failure mode is that enough of the material evaporates for it to lose structural strength and snap. Implying that you could use more of the same material with the same efficiency but improve structural strength.

> And leds, of course are different.

They don't operate in a universe with different physical laws, proving that incumbent incandescent bulbs are nowhere near the limits physics imposes on efficiency.

You don't have to ban longer lifetimes unless you're afraid someone will find a way to do better.
Mantis shrimp can break thick glass because of this.
Was anyone else bothered by how Oppenheimer declined to show even a single scene of the devastation that was caused by dropping nuclear weapons on Japan?

I otherwise liked the film, but I thought it was wrong to hide it from viewers. The bombing was the central plot point of the whole film. It would have been different if it was a new director, or surprise hit or something, but Nolan knew it would be seen by many millions of people.

It could have been shown without losing any narration context at all, in the scene where the protagonist is shown slides of the destruction scenes, and the camera only shows him looking away. The director didn't need to force the audience to look away too.

This is a great guide but from my experience, even if you configure it 100% correctly, email services like Gmail may still classify your emails as spam for no apparent reason while not being on any IP or domain blacklist. I tried for hundreds of hours to get around it with no avail, and my emails to Gmail always went to spam unless it was a response to an email from a Gmail address. Had to go back to a 3rd party hosted service (iCloud) because of it.

You just did it! You made the Tu Crowque fallacy.
nope, not at all! the crypto sector has been the most lucrative thing you can be doing in software for a decade straight now, especially with the lowest CapEx - AI doesn't even come close when factoring that in - bug bounties have been larger and only a subset are through these bug bounty brokers.
It kinda worked that way in the past too. IIRC, newer AGP graphics cards would be keyed for 4x or 8x slots but would barely use more bandwidth than the original 2x slots provided.
>they'll also defend laws like the ones passed earlier in the year by the US House about codifying the IHRA's definition of anti-Semitism.

Anyone who defended that isn't even close to a free-speech absolutist.

>I don't believe anyone truly has a Free Speech Absolutist position

I do. It's what makes America great. Erosions like that jewish law are slowly weakening that.

You should be allowed to say whatever you want about White people, straight people, men, Christians, etc. and I should be able to say whatever I want about jews.

You just don't want to acknowledge such a stance is possible because the people you agree with are in power, allow the speech you agree with, and censor the speech you don't disagree with, so you stand with nothing to gain by supporting free speech. That's a personal choice to have no integrity.

When we talk about system 2; is it possible that [generating large number of programs; evaluating them of the task; choosing top K outcomes; feeding it back to Neural net] can act as system 2 for a AGI? Isn't that how we think intelligently as well- by making lot of hypothesis internally and evaluating them - and updating our model?

As a parent also, I think it simply varies from child to child. There is a point in time between vision developing and object permanence being learned where peek-a-boo is absolutely magic.
Haskell has yesod, which is Haskell’s Rails. It’s a batteries included web app scaffold. You still need to understand monads, though. But any Haskell shop with web apps is using that.

There’s also scotty and servant for web server stuff.

There’s Esqueleto and Persistent for doing postgreSQL database queries.

And so on.
Theory: there are no humans without language. Consider: what language do you think in?
Problem is always going to be sampling frequency.

All accelerometers tell you is the direction of the acceleration vector (ie how speed is changing and in which direction). You still have to add the individual vectors to derive where you actually are.

And if you don't sample fast enough and your acceleration has frequency components at frequency comparable to your sampling, the acceleration you measure may not reflect where you actually are (ref Nyquist sampling theorem)

Imagine sampling at 1hz, and you just happen to have a bump every 1 sec (eg your wheel happens to have a flat spot and is turning at 1Hz), followed almost instantly later by a bump in the opposite direction. Your sampling only sees (say) the +ve components, misses the -ve and accrues a bunch of error.

If you can sample fast enough, you can minimize this sort of error, but you can't really make it go away.

Oh, btw, if you make it work well enough you're considered munitions for export control purposes, so limits the number of countries you can sell to. Same reason civilian GPS units stop working somewhere around 1200mph

Writing documents like these with Word is a sin.
Well it is true that I am only supposing that explaining an observable process in and of itself cannot intrinsically explain conscious awareness

Its good to keep an open mind about stuff, and recognize that knowledge of all kinds is only tentative

All of us are finite and ignorant

Perhaps we can someday identify physical artifacts of conscious awareness, but how does that explain the root of conscious awareness? There is a difference between that and showing that conscious awareness is physically plausible, and perhaps even likely, according to experiment alone as opposed to our own personal experiences

Perhaps if we understood more about the brain, that would open our eyes to something we cannot even imagine today that would shed light on this issue

Perhaps science alone has capabilities that are more profound that we can see today, in being able to delve into such issues?
Based on this proposal the strategy is

- providers spend money on having a counter-abuse team
- providers and authorities cooperate to identify risks
- providers implement proportional controls based on the risks

so if Meta/Signal/etc comes up with something they implement it

users can continue to run their own private stuff.

it seems this has almost nothing do with the organized sex crime stuff, it's about catching those lone pervs who realized they can send dick picks to minors all day.

I really like the stuff coming from Cohere.

I know they're not considered the leader in the foundational model space, but their developer documentation is great, their api is really nice to use, and they have a set of products that really differentiate themselves from OpenAI and Anthropic and others. I'm rooting for the success of this company.

That said, we as an industry need to be moving away from langchain, not more deeply embedding ourselves in that monstrosity. It’s just way too much of its own thing now and you can totally start to see how the VC funding is shaping their incentives. They put everyone who uses it in a position of massive technical debt, create more abstractions like langgraph to lock people into their tools and then and then create paid tools on top of it to solve the problems that they created (langsmith).
> I'm happy to adapt if I feel I got something in return

Lisp is not a silver bullet. Whatever you can do with lisp, you can do with C or with JavaScript. What's different is how you do it. And it turns out that it's easier to create elegant solutions in Lisp as the mental model is heavily based on mathematics (lambda calculus). It's a different models of computing and solutions you're used to may no longer applied. Instead you reach out to a new way of solving the problem.

When I say iteration is tricky, it's that most of the time, you relying on some mutable state to do the looping (i counter) and early termination, but in CL and Clojure, there often are easier ways.

I'd recommend learning about computing models. Some solutions are easier to solve in one than the others. And now computers are powerful enough that we don't have to worry about performance (that often) and we can focus on creating better programs.

No, it didn't bother me; Oppenheimer himself never saw the devastation, he only could imagine it. It seems suiting for what the film was doing, to focus on his inner emotional state.

IIUC, the article discusses two phenomena related to charities outliving their original purpose:

(1) (as you mentioned) pivoting to a new cause.

(2) increasing the urgency / direness of their messaging, because making progress on an issue causes their audience to de-prioritize it relative to their other concerns.

The better way to understand libertarianism is to characterize regulation as something like "a rule anybody makes up and then punishes people for violating it even if they never agreed to follow it." Now you don't need to resort to weird contortions to handle cartels and things because they're just a form of government and therefore something to be limited in order to restore the benefits of free market competition.
