Because teenagers and elderly can go for a trial for vehicular manslaughter. If Waymo drive into opposite traffic and killed someone, who is responsible? CEO of Waymo that knew that this could happen? If this happens multiple times, what is the value of human life? Even if Waymo become a safer driver than human, we need to answer these questions in regulation and common law.

Well, yes: it was a tongue-in-cheek way to observe that requiring closed roads for self-driving vehicles would render the whole exercise pointless. We already have a more efficient solution for that problem, with no need for any exciting new technology!
One thing that would be cool is to have an offline version of this documentation. I have the Common Lisp HyperSpec installed locally on my computer so that documentation lookups happen instantly in Emacs. I also view the documentation with the built-in browser rather than having it open in Firefox, so that I never leave the editor. Doing this means I don't have to worry about internet connectivity or the two usual sites hosting the HyperSpec (LispWorks and lisp.se) going away.

Interesting. So not quite as generous as the title suggests but still interesting.

The article goes on to talk about how the US lacks a maternity program. Its a fair comparison, for those who don't have job options its a policy that's needed. However those sorts of worker rights have done little to impact Swedens also declining birth rate (below replacement). This law is an offset to that issue, giving older generations time to help with the next.

Only time will tell if it has an impact.

This is just the same extremely poorly thought out argument against any type of pure research.

Pursuing knowledge for knowledge's sake always results in improvement down the line, even if it's impossible to predict when and how.

Do you think Benjamin Franklin expected a payoff from the experiments that led to the discovery of electricity? Or Newton researching gravity? Much of our knowledge about the universe comes from researchers picking at a topic just for the hell of it.

> I would rather someone of the intellectual calibre you describe work on problems more relevant to improving the world.

Impressive amount of entitlement here. Nobody owes you anything, and people are free to do anything they want. Not everyone wants to be a hero or great inventor, even if they have the skill for it. Nor is it some universal moral obligation for skilled people to spend their lives producing something profitable or beneficial to society.

Do you have hobbies? If so, you should feel bad because you're wasting your talents on useless unprofitable activities. Better go out and solve the world's problems.

That's why suicide vests should be standard issue equipment for all soldiers. The suicide vests should be equipped with heart rate sensors to automatically turn them into land mines if the wearer dies without triggering them (with a short delay to avoid collateral damage). Cyanide pills embedded in false teeth should also be standard equipment as a backup in case the vest fails.
That’s actually crazy. Any internet archive is bound to also contain less savory parts of it which could be removed on request. Such a blanket ban doesn’t do anything to solve the issue while simultaneously making people’s lives worse

Let's not forget what happened in 2020: the world went into lockdown over COVID-19. Everyone was trying to do emergency gear-shift into remote work, and the demand for online collaboration services - and supporting infrastructure - exploded.

That IMO can easily account for majority of the increase since 2019, and it seems that this is another example of why you have to be suspicious of any average that includes pandemic years in its range. 2020-2022 was a unique period in all kinds of ways.

EDIT: Google's document even acknowledges that, in footnote 103 linked to from page 32. Quoting:

Although 2020 was the most recent emissions inventory available at the time the target was set, 2020 was deemed to not be representative of a typical year, because operations were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The next most recent year with representative data, 2019, was selected as the base year.

Immediate words don’t cover the “while maintaining consistent behavior (i.e., semantics) across phases” of the definition given, do they?

I think normal forth words are way closer to that. They (1) normally just do whatever their definition implies, but inside a colon definition, they (1) compile code that does whatever their definition implies.

They do miss C++ constexpr (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/constexpr). I haven’t read Zig docs, but that seems highly similar to Zig’s comptime to me.

(1) technically, it’s not “they” doing that themselves but whatever code processes them.
Not OP, but this is talking about bounds on how different such constants can be across time and space. For example, wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-variation_of_fundamental_constants
C++ has indeed added many features that help with memory safety, at the cost of getting increasingly more complicated and harder to work with.

To be honest `comptime` seems excessive. Like, if something can be calculated at compile time, it should be. Why the extra keywords for that?
Rust is mostly doing it already.
hey this is awesome, thanks for sharing!
I can't find that one under any of the years. Is that from the Bulwer-Lytton contest rather than the Lyttle Lytton contest? It sounds a bit long to be an entry in the latter.
I would hope that plug-ins and add-ons can be written in C (although any extensions written in C should be only allowed if installed manually by the end user (e.g. by adding it to some configuration file); it should never install them automatically from a "app store" or similar). That is a feature I would use.
In what ways? I'm curious as I have been under the impression it's no longer much of a difference in the way it used to be.

That's a smoking gun, alright. If you compare today to just before the pandemic, you're going to get all kinds of weird results that can mostly be attributed to the world working in emergency mode for 2020-2022.
It's still relevant with mainstream news publications. If you find yourself reading a, e.g., WSJ article and it sounds like an advertisement, it most likely is, however indirectly.

Planning is a really interesting way of solving problems; I used in in a data generation kind of software; the idea is that you provide a struct / type definition — can be recursive or otherwise, and the planner figures out a path to this. It can be further extended with adding conditions on the input, or generalizing this to accept schemas.

You got it - the creative developments of a stronger theory. This allows the creation of tools which can categorize TMs, tools which wouldn’t exist otherwise.

It’s fascinating that the entire space of finite amounts of random gibberish contains every such stronger theory.

As a thought experiment it does well. Interestingly the Church-Turing thesis seems to exclude ingenuity. That is, it doesn’t try to say there aren’t functions on natural numbers which are uncomputable but can be calculated with ingenuity. Seems that a ton of people conflate those things.

Almost all rifle (and quality handgun) ammo are copper jacketed, meaning no lead vaporisation until it hits the backstop.

It's indeed pretty spun. Some quick googling shows that real GDP is up 11.5% from 2019-2024, which makes up a bunch of the "effect" right there (obviously datacenter power isn't directly tied to economic activity as a first principles thing, but like everything else at scale it's going to be pretty darn close).

Of the remainder, I get an average yearly increase of... 5.8% over the time period in question. I mean, that's an effect, but it's certainly not a big one.

Then why would you choose to use a CNN over a fully connected neural network for visual data? For the same reason you'd choose a KAN over a traditional neural network if you were trying to fit a continuous function that can easily be modeled as a combination of b-splines. Machine learning models aren't magic and their internal function very much determines the kinds of problems to which they are well applied.

My intuitions about KANs and visual data comes from an impression that it would be hard for a decision boundary on visual data to behave nicely if it could only be built from b-splines.

Judging the usefulness of a machine learning architecture is not a matter of determining which architecture will perform the best in all scenarios.

Email: sandor.rideg@gmail.com

Hello , I'm Sandor and I'm looking for a remote job. I've spent ~15 years in engineering roles at bigger companies like Google or Snapchat, however during the last 3.5 years I've been working for a startup. I also have 4ish years of engineering manager exp. I am open to both IC and management roles.

Why me?

- I believe I am a good engineer, who has a "pitbull" attitude. Throw problem at me and I don't let it go
until it's not solved.

- I've been a founder myself and have brought a product from idea to market.

- I know how to lead engineering teams: I've run a team of up to 12 people.

- I have been on both sides: owner, employee. This helps me to be a better team member.

- It is very easy to get along with me, I'm friendly, respectful, and kind.

- I wore many hats before: engineer, designer, product manager, engineering manager, so I have a good grasp how these people think and can act as a bridge between company silos.

Update: formatting
Exactly. I need 1Password and a vim mode plugin for me to be productive on the web.
> It's also fascinating to me that the author attempted to train an ML model to play the game. My initial thought was that an exhaustive search was the only way to approach this (because it's perhaps the only way to arrive at a max score that is provably correct), but I think I am not truly appreciating the vastness of the search space at play here, and exhaustively searching all possible inputs might just be too unimaginably large.

I think when we did the math with our best emulator it would take 100 billion years? There are, by our estimation or a game lasting a thousand moves 10^23 possible wells. With current computing, even if we threw all the resources of the planet at it, we'd still be a few orders of magnitude short of finishing in our lifetimes. It is a very very very large search space.

>Searching for duplicate states and culling any branches that are equivalent.

Branch pruning and comparison are both expensive relatively speaking. You want, in a perfect world, to essentially have a hashmap lookup for duplicate nodes, so deciding if its new or not is O(1), rather than having to look at your node and all its children to know if it's duplicated. It doesn't matter unless you're really chasing performance.

Also this was our first serious rust project so implementing it was a bit more daunting than expected. In a sane codebase it's probably not a bad refactor, at the point we did it we had six methods with a bunch of stuff jammed into them and names like `explore_tree` so it was a challenge, made significantly easier by rust types, and more frustrating by the borrow checker.
For starters, I'd love to just see a rock-solid neural network replacement for screened poisson surface reconstruction. (I have seen MeshAnything and I don't think that's the end-game.)

>Replicability means that the results hold for replication outside the specific circumstances of one study.

If by "hold for replication outside the specific circumstances of one study" you mean "useful for real world problems" as implied by your previous comment then I don't think you are correct.

From a quick search it seems there are multiple definitions of Reproducibility and Replicability with some using the words interchangeably but the most favorable one I found to what you are saying is this definition:

>Replicability is obtaining consistent results across studies aimed at answering the same scientific question, each of which has obtained its own data.

>[...]

>In general, whenever new data are obtained that constitute the results of a study aimed at answering the same scientific question as another study, the degree of consistency of the results from the two studies constitutes their degree of replication.[0]

However I think this holds true for a lot of ML research going on. The issue is not that the solutions do not generalize. It's that the solution itself is not useful for most real world applications. I don't see what replicability has to do with it. you can train a given model with a different but similar dataset and you will get the same quality non-useful results. I'm not sure exactly what definition of replicability you are using though if there is one I missed please point it out.

> AI can definitely turn out to be a panacea but more and more grifters are attaching themselves to it, and the companies churning out the most advances of it are not really invested in improving society as a whole

I came to see the "AI hype" not as reminiscent of crypto-hype, but of dot-com boom. Lots of grifters attached themselves to this new Internet thing. Lots of bullshit products was made. Lots of people lost their shirt through this. That had no bearing on how useful the Internet was, and turned out to be. And so today, we also have a lot of AI-grifters, and this also doesn't mean the underlying tech is bogus.
All of these are uniquely worse than the current system for the artists, though. Again, I agree that copyright should be abolished (or that copyleft should be enshrined in law), entirely, for all forms of media (including software). I just think it's important to realize that there are classes of people for whom the existing circumstances are better for. Acknowledging that a change will disadvantage or make circumstances materially worse for people is important.

Livestreaming and live performances and merch creation are all vastly different skillsets than making music in your bedroom, and some musicians are only really good at that part.
Claiming that emissions surged 50% due exclusively to AI (as in the headline) is unsupported by the Google report, which is the article's singular source.

Again, looking at the graph of emissions at Google on pg 31, it's clear that the increase is linear after a dip 2019-2020 and the report identifies supply chain issues as a major source of emissions in addition to datacenter electricity costs—again, notably not specifically calling out their AI training/inference costs as a reason for their increase. The report does identify AI as a challenge going forwards, however that's not the same as saying it's exclusively responsible for the last 5 years of emissions.
