Thanks: I guess we've moved away from true sources of entropy for RNG and it's mostly pseudo-RNGs seeded by truly random numbers if we can achieve such performance today.

I've done a quick benchmark of /dev/urandom locally, and I get ~450 MB/s out, which is roughly 28M worth of UUIDs per second — on my Ryzen 6850U laptop. Even that amounts to sub-microsecond times.

I distinctly remember a time where you could only get a few MB/s, and external sources of true entropy were outright expensive for anything more than a few KB/s.
any other company, specifically Microsoft/Bing and OpenAI, are free to pay reddit for the same privilege, so I don't see how it could be considered that.

> difficult to believe a single definitive reading was intended

Agreed, it rarely is with these kinds of stories and teachings. The Iliad comes to mind. I tried multiple translations but they all feel (horribly) off. I put some of them side by side and started "cherry picking" sentences that felt better together.

The challenge and beauty of these kinds of writing is the brutal subjective experience of (personal) horror and enlightenment which can be destroyed with a few words that don't fit the 'phenomenal' flow of the reader, who is tracking through the writers narration of the readers (personal) space-time experience and his perception of (inter-personal) life. It's (sorry) fucking insane to translate these books, I'd finish and start again over and over.
No, it’s still a problem for apple because they won’t leave. Even in the absurdly inconceivable (to an extent that it’s not even worth discussing) case that they did losing a significant proportion of their revenue would be a much bigger problem for them than the EU.

One downside of this approach is that the tested code itself has to be modified to accomodate the testing code.

I think the same could be achieved by launching two threads and single stepping them with ptrace to "randomly" interleave the execution of their instructions. Something like rr's chaos mode.

Some instructions may not be atomic though, so we would need a way to single step on "atomic microcodes" if that's even possible without emulation?
It's not entirely accurate. I used to hate cilantro (tried it first as an adult), as it does smell kind of soapy, but it grew on me. It's part of the taste for something like a thai curry. I recently planted one and thought it smelled great when I was watering it, soapy or not.

Basil can also smell a bit like cat pee, but it's still great on some things.
Very trigger-happy laws are often not intended to be implemented exactly as written. If you have done something against a family that the law says you should be executed for, you can probably purchase your life from them. Same goes for all the eye-for-an-eye punishments.

A very different time and place, but in early medieval Iceland if you poked out someone's eye, that someone now owns your corresponding eye. Then you can together come to terms on whether the eye should be also poked or if you can agree on a price to buy it back.

A more statist example, at times in ancient China the law code had execution as punishment on basically every crime that the state got involved in at all. But most of the condemned were not executed, but eventually had their sentence commuted to internal exile (into some other part of China).
Android doesn’t seem to be a complete disaster in this sense?

> and need to protected from harm

Yet Apple has no issue working for authoritarian regimes like Russia and China to protect those regimes and fuck over their users. Is that what you’re talking about? People are to dumb and stupid for democracy and therefore corporations like Apple need to prop up dictators to protect them?

I’m not even being facetious, looking at the actual facts and Apple’s behavior I don’t see how anyone can come to a different conclusion?

It's a linear function your brain can learn. Your brain, not the conscious you. A lot of learning is about bypassing the slow inefficient consciousness that thinks it's in charge.

In sports and other physical activities, you don't memorize the right moves. You practice them until you can do them automatically. The same approach also works with cognitive activities.

Note that there are theories that migraines start long before an actual attack, and that with this migraine comes certain cravings.

Thanks! Thought for a while that that book only dealt with Cold War-era propaganda (saw KGB in your comment), but if it includes newspaper writers/columnists who are in the Russians’ payroll right now then all the better, as I said, I’m tired of the Applebaums of this world.
If you want to learn how to write, you mainly need to read more, and fixing grammar and punctuation is an automated thing nowadays. If you feel like you're getting expert writing feedback from a high school teacher then you won't be writing any novels any time soon anyway.

> we should conduct a moonshot project to build a homeschooling technonanny that uses enough electricity to power the Eastern Seaboard so we can educate our kids without human interaction

Actually, unironically yes since you only have to do pretraining once. A model that can then run inference locally on smartphones and is used for many years would amortize its creation cost though the utility it provides in a few years. It wouldn't even have to be AGI tier, just good enough to work with.

A single teacher educating 30 people vastly underperforms 1-1 tutoring. It's a "good enough" system and it doesn't work very well for most people, it's just the only thing we have. Hell most of it is just following a fixed script that repeats every year, answering a few questions and grading based on ground truth.

A personalized teaching system that knows your interests and skills would be able to motivate and explain far more effectively by adapting the script to you in pace and difficulty. Being available to you 24/7 for questions and having a personality you like would certainly help too. There's this 11 year old video [0] from the ex-teacher CGP Grey that turned out to be pretty prescient and elaborates a bit more on the general idea.

All of this could even be done sustainably, running training during peak solar hours, excess wind power and the like, but as long as there's demand it doesn't make sense to leave your expensive and rapidly depreciating GPUs idle. And there's demand because people have this misconceived notion that AGI is somehow winner take all, making it a race where everyone's flailing about like a headless chicken. In reality whoever gets there first will have a short first mover advantage for half a year and then everyone else will replicate their work, and probably an open source version a year and a half later tops.

Loved this statement from the article
As someone who has been involved in and seen how cancer research is done, it is no surprise that progress is slow.

The "skilled", "famous" and "influential" scientists in cancer research spend almost all their time fighting for grants, undermining each other, jockeying for influence, exaggerating their own importance, publishing phony papers etc.

Underpaid novices, trainees, grad students, and postdocs with little prior experience do the actual work in the lab.

It is much, much worse than a reasonable person would imagine!
That's almost exactly how people did the trivium, to lay the ground for what follows. I think people are trying to say memorising is critical, understanding follows, not leads.
Since I dropped caffeine, my migraines also became much less frequent and when I have some caffeine, I am at risk for getting one. It seems closely related to sleep for me and caffeine (even in moderation) just greatly affects my quality of sleep.

Not at all. This appears to be an actual router for rail, not a router for public transport by train. That is, if you happen to own a nice locomotive, and miraculously have unimpeded direct access to all railways, then this tool will be a useful planner.

For all of us poor folk lacking trains and quite seriously high level political influence, this is a theoretical routing tool for planning possible rail routes. Hence the support of its development by the SNCF.
From my experience, those extra rounds and puzzles don't improve the quality of hires. But they:

1. Create objective consensus. In a small company, you can hire based on intuition - talking to a candidate once (and ideally seeing any kind of work sample) are mostly sufficient for me right now. In larger organisations, I had to _defend_ hiring decisions, so you need to create evidence of objectivity.

2. Filter a prohibitively long list of candidates. Gotta have _some_ way to do it, even though I'd argue selecting for those most likely to hang in there for a long hiring process isn't the best way.

3. Create a (usually faux) narrative that you rigourously assess candidates and therefore only the best work with you.

Now, I won't say there aren't some benefits to more exposure to a candidate and their work, whatever it is. But in my experience, extensive hiring processes are really more about the stuff I listed above, even if nobody involved would think of it that way.
I'll just leave this here:

Combined with the fact that Intel created both CXL and Optane, it stands to reason that the plan was to combine them eventually. Unfortunately, that was never came to pass :(
This is just the way people are. There's a simple reality that most people find uncomfortable: they are part of a generation that starts out young but will be replaced by younger generations in just a few decades that will do things differently and will largely ignore their opinions.

I'm nearly fifty. Most people in the industry are way younger than me. A few are older. In twenty years, most of my generation will no longer be active in the industry. And most of the industry will consist of people who aren't even part of it right now because they are still toddlers or in school. Reason for this is that our industry is still growing and is dominated demographically by people below 30. The older ones don't disappear, they are simply outnumbered.

A lot of people my age have all sorts of opinions about AI and what it will or won't do. Most of that won't matter because in a few short years, we'll be side lined. I'll just be an old man ranting and nobody will care. Nor should they IMHO. Or alternatively, I delay that a bit by keeping myself young and relevant by learning new things. Including AI.

I have a few interns in my team aged around 20. Smart people, fast learners. And they are treating AI in a very rational way: a tool that's there that they need to be able to use in order to function. Pretty fun to watch how quickly they pick things up. Mental agility of young people is fun to watch. And I like having people like that around.

Anyway, there is no royal we. Whenever I see somebody proclaim something like "we should ...", I mentally translate this "I think we should do X" and then ask myself why anyone should bother to even listen. Sounds a lot weaker like that. Younger generations paying attention to older ones making such proclamations is not how humanity moves forward. It's actually by younger generations mostly ignoring the older ones and doing things differently and then the old generations die off and things have changed.

AI is exactly like every other disruptive tools that have come along. Most of the people ranting against those tools will be gone and forgotten in a few decades. They and their opinions don't matter. Look at new generations and how they use AI effectively. That's the future. And they too will get old.
This doesn’t appear to do routing across railway services, but rather on the tracks. It has no idea whether there is an actual train that runs on the offered route, only that there is continuous track from A to B without gauge changes etc.

Put another way: You would use this to plan a route for a train service you were thinking of operating, not for trying to find services that already exist.
The original point of banks was a place to handle the security aspects of money. Crypto dumps the burden of security on its users.

That wouldn’t be a big deal if most crypto transactions where tiny and people where keeping trivial sums in their wallets, but that’s not what’s going on. Thus defeating the point of low transaction costs as there’s a small number of transactions going on and a great deal of overhead supporting those transactions resulting in high effective fees.
My migraines stopped when I went carnivore which meant no gluten and sugar as well (though I kept the coffee). I'm now in a more keto diet but still no gluten at all and I've only had a couple of light migraines in a year or so (used have them a monthly or more frequently).

It is interesting to know your case as it is a smaller dietary change than mine.

I am personally going to start using this, and I am going to get immediate benefits from this, and so are my readers. That's it, that's all it takes.

My point, however, is that why most people would be bothered by spilled milk in the middle of a room and clean it up, the fact that we've stuck with "counting centuries" for a long time implies that it really isn't a big deal to most people.

If it's important enough for you to adapt your speech patterns, there's nothing wrong with it. I wouldn't expect most people to follow suit, though, because no-one cares.

The introduction to the article denies its main point:

> If writing down your ideas always makes them more precise and more complete, then no one who hasn't written about a topic has fully formed ideas about it.

It’s a logical error. It’s like saying: people who point out logical errors in internet comments look foolish, therefore no one who hasn’t done that looks foolish. Clearly there are other ways to look foolish.

So even if writing always clarified thought, it’s wrong to infer it’s impossible to have clear thoughts without writing.

But since the writer here committed this mistake, he demonstrated that writing does not always result in clear thought.

Incidentally, I wrote this comment to clarify my thoughts .
In general, most cuisines and culinary trends are far more modern than we tend to assume. Until the last 3-ish centuries:

> Unity, these pricing ding the smaller people the most

I don’t think that’s true. A very small proportion of smaller developers might have been disproportionately affected but Unity was just complete garbage at communicating the changes (not trying to downplay the retroactive bit, no excuse for that). Most people just didn’t bother reading the fine print or calculating the actual fees themselves and just looked at the published headlines.

It was similar for me. I'd get migraines a few times a year. I couldn't find any food correlation, but it seemed to often happen the day after doing strenuous activity, sweating a lot and drinking a lot of water. I started to suspect it was related to lack of electrolytes, so I began taking electrolyte solution after running or any other sweaty activity. In the few years since then, the migraines have been much less frequent, and about half as intense.
What I argue is that it is technologically, physically, sociologically, and economically possible to create a society where no one wants for food, shelter, medical care, human interaction, and human thriving. Of that I am certain.

Whether or not we accept that this is possible and whether or not we are willing to make the changes necessary is our choice. But it is not a thing that happens so much as a thing we make happen.
I always thought laziness was a good thing, at least in our field. I'm pretty sure I'm lazy. When push comes to shove, I will do boring work very diligently, but if there's a better way, I'll look for it.

Contrast this with someone just happily diligently working away no matter what, for the sake of keeping on moving. It's very easy to get stuck on a local maximum if you don't stop and think (i.e. do nothing) on a regular basis.

I think the author's point is that the latter can be quite harmful, which is evidently unintuitive for many people.

Granted, calling an effective servant leader "lazy" is possibly not great, and the word does have a negative connotation whether I like it or not.

The solution is simple: do not allow planning permission for anything where a tree once stood, and require the property owner to replant where a tree was killed. This won’t take care of those killed for the views because young trees won’t be as tall, but it would certainly remove the incentive from tennis courts.
