Well the root stems from the false reporting of the name of the 17 year old involved in the stabbing of children. Literally everyone (particularly Nigel Farage) knows you can't report a 17 year old's name without some sort of special dispensation, which ultimately came. So if you think you know it you should think again. Ignorance is not a defence.

> Hyperbole can be a short-term motivator, but we need to continue over the long term to stop HIV/AIDS.

I am expecting the findings of this trial to be regurgitated by the general population who refer to the science community. “THEY cured AIDS” will be declared without the nuance of “well, new infections are prevented with a biannual depot injection …”
> Some (many?) NASA engineers are at the high end of the band and are advocating a return on Dragon instead. Boeing is obviously at the low end of the band and thinks it is a low risk.

To me this gives a strong impression of history rhyming with itself. Back in the early 1980ies NASA engineers "close to the hardware" were raising warning, above warning about reliability issues of the shuttles, ultimately being overruled by management, leading to the Challenger disaster.

Then in 2003 again engineers were raising warnings about heat shield integrity being compromised from impacts with external tank insulation material. Again, management overruled them on the same bad reasoning, that if it did not cause problems in the past, it will not in the future. So instead of addressing the issue in a preventative action, the Columbia was lost on reentry.

Fool me once …, fool me twice …; I really hope the engineers will put their foot down on this and clearly and decisively overrule any mandate directed from management.
> Yes, technically they are people, from the same species. Then about anything else is different.

They are people, without technicalities. And we have a lot in common. There are a lot of differences inside a country too. In my country far-right doesn't value women right, personal freedom and non-violence while most migrants I've met do.

Sure but all these people are there to ensure the insurance will get ahead, not to help the customers.

I personally wouldn't embrace that philosophy but if we solve death by aging, "dying for a purpose" would still be an option: suicide, accidents, etc.
In case anyone replies with "well all companies are bad in some way"... scale is also a factor here. Even if Google does the same things as a small family owned business, they have significantly greater ability to inflict harm.

And I'm not sure I buy that all companies are bad. A lot of companies are earnest and customer-focused when they're smaller and desperate for more users. And I've worked at many companies which were bumbling but not really manipulative or malicious.
That's only for known situations.

Eg. Try LLM's to find availability hours when you have the start and end time of each day.

Australia's rating for UK is 2nd lowest (of 4, "exercise a high degree of caution") and I think that's still an overreaction, especially as it applies to the whole country.

In some forums, "post body" is used to rebuff arguments. The implication is that, when the user posts their physique, it will be lesser than your own, and your subsequent takedown of their ideas will include a photo of your own larger physique to reinforce the superiority of the responder.

In your question, there's even less of a fair shake: your own age has no part in it and the GP would simply look a fool for any answer under 40, due to the context. What's sad is that you think that appearance would be anything but an underhanded jab on your part, the immortality-conversation equivalent of "and yet you live in a society, hmm!"

Say GP was 20. So what? Have you dismantled any of their points about the inherent non-fit between the natural engineering of the human body and a society dominated by adults 40+? The GP at least brought one new idea to the thread, and it's rude of you to try to shuffle them off for immaturity. Maybe you're the type to say "it was just a question!", but its obvious to anyone who would read here that you were trying to subvert actual argumentation with a character attack.
For a lot of people in Germany it's not about the risk of an accident, but rather the cost of building and decomissioning nuclear reactors.

Because they assume the EU would be weaker and more malleable to US influence than China and the CCP.

I agree but I am responding mostly to the parent comment, which suggests that not trying to live as long as possible is some sort of disorder or disability.
"Solving death" won’t help humanity. Isn’t that obvious to you??

For a starter, birth rates and death rates should be about the same otherwise it’s not sustainable. If you "solve death", birth rates will need to drop a lot.

Do you want to live in a world with almost no children? Just very old people all over the place. Sounds like a nightmare to me.

You need to let go, accept your mortality and leave some room for new humans to live. At some point you’ll have had your time, death is part of life.

I use UNIX since introduction to Xenix in 1993, plenty of commercial UNIX flavours, started with GNU/Linux in 1995's Summer, lost count on the distributions tried since 1995, subscribed to Linux Journal since it went out of print, have a good Walnut Creek CD-ROM collection.

When I really want Linux on a box, I care to find a OEM that makes it possible, regardless if the distribution is specific to them, like on Raspberry PI's case.
What if reluctance to accept new ideas later in life stems from mortality in the first place?

My first name, Lachlan, is a Scottish Gaelic name which was used to describe Scandinavian Vikings

Specifically it means “Lord from the Land of the Loch”, derived from the Scottish name for Norway: Lochlann

I cannot recall others but there a lot of personal and place names of Scottish/Scandinavian mix

PS Lachlan has oddly taken off in Australia and is one of the most popular male names for men my age, along with Murdoch’s kid
When a team at IBM has coined the word "superscalar" in 1987, they have written a widely cited research paper in which they have argued that a "superscalar" CPU is better than a "vector CPU" ("vector" CPUs were well known at that time and had been used for more than a decade, especially in supercomputers), therefore all vector CPUs should be replaced with superior "superscalar" CPUs.

Their theory was in essence that when you have 16x scalar ALUs it is always better to be able to use them individually, instead of having them used by a single instruction.

If you have the hardware that allows using the 16 scalar ALUs individually, by 16 independent instructions, that is obviously much more powerful. It can handle all the cases that can be handled by SIMD, but also many other cases.

The IBM research paper has been extremely influential. Before it, the target for most CPU design teams was to make a pipelined CPU able to execute 1 instruction per clock cycle, after it everybody has switched to attempting to design CPUs with an IPC as high as possible. Even Intel, who prioritized the CPU production cost over the CPU performance, has evolved through 80486 (1989), Pentium (1993) and Pentium Pro (1995) eventually reaching the stage of having a high-performance superscalar CPU.

Nevertheless, around 1995 the initial hype about superscalar CPUs has begun to dissipate. It became understood that even if a superscalar CPU would always be faster than a vector CPU with the same number of ALUs, the cost of the superscalar CPU increases very quickly and super-linearly with the number of ALUs. For high enough values, doubling the number of ALUs in a superscalar CPU increases both the area and the power consumption by a factor much greater than 2.

The result of understanding the limitations of the superscalar CPUs was a smaller step back, resurrecting the vector CPUs, but in combination with the superscalar CPUs. Now all modern CPUs use this combination, instead of using only one of the two design variants.

For instance, Zen 5 contains 32 FP64 adders. However, it can do only 4 independent FP64 operations simultaneously.

Therefore it can do 4 scalar FP64 additions per cycle. Or it can gang pairs of ALUs and it can do 4 additions of length-2 FP64 vectors per cycle. Or it can gang groups of 4 ALUs and it can do 4 additions of length-4 FP64 vectors per cycle. Or it can gang groups of 8 ALUs and it can do 4 additions of length-8 FP64 vectors per cycle.

Only in the last case all the 32 existing FP64 adders are used.

The same is in all modern CPUs. All have 2 limits. One limit is the number of ALUs and the second limit is the number of simultaneous independent operations a.k.a. the number of execution ports.

The number of execution ports limits the number of independent scalar operations. The total number of ALUs limits the number of equivalent scalar operations when they are not independent, but the ALUs are ganged for vector operations.

You can certainly do that, although it is a bit cumbersome. See this example I created: https://sankeymatic.com/build/?i=OoQw5gpgzgBA2gFgKwAYC6MAqIA...

Let's take a moment to appreciate the stupidity. Of course it's not nice to be a cpt. Hindsight. But he tried to build a sub in a...

It baffles me the level of stupidity a human can reach with no consequences from the society, what so ever. He is just a small example! I don't have enough space to write here all the CURRENT people who are literally running the world and are being proud to be stupid in public. How stupidity became a commodity?
Yeah, the whole "they're 'savages'" argument feels like a justification of why "we" (westerners living in relative luxury) are allowed to deny them the basic neccessities for life (food, housing, freedom from falling bombs).

Still mean living in a world of mostly very old people, and almost no children. Sounds depressing to me.
There are so many things wrong with your post!! In your spirit, we should be able to sell heroin to kids, just not give them money, only the first free dose (that's that all the blinking and sounds on the ads do to their brains). I had a colleague once that said exactly that (and he effing meant it) "if selling heroin to kids was legal, I would be outside a school right now - it's their parents' problem" (yes he has kids)(at the time he was a IT contractor making GBP 1200 per day - and that was 8 years ago)(there are scum and scum.. and then there was him).

Anyway.. we (should) protect kids as much as possible from as many possible risks and threats (old and new).

America's obsession with professional licensure is so confusing, it's an absurd level of protectionism for a country that claims to love freedom, do you really need a license to cut hair etc?

Well who knows. My bet is on the very long-lived being fairly risk averse. And new ideas are risky.
I get the point of the article, but I think it makes a bit of a strawman to drive the point across.

Yes, RLHF is barely RL, but you wouldn't use human feedback to drive a Go game unless there was no better alternative; and in RL, finding a good reward function is the name of the game; once you have that, you have no reason to prefer human feedback, especially if it is demonstrably worse. So, no, nobody would actually "prefer RLHF over RL" given the choice.

But for language models, human feedback IS the ground truth (at least until we find a better, more mathematical alternative). If it weren't and we had something better, then we'd use that. But we don't. So no, RLHF is not "worse than RL" in this case, because there 'is' no 'other' RL in this case; so, here, RLHF actually is RL.

> while those laws are being informed/reviewed by experts who don't have a conflict of interest

How do you create this rather mythical class of individual? Wouldn't the time taken to gain the expertise also subject them to bias from the companies they worked for? We can put time limits on the "revolving door" but you're essentially building a policy that actually relies on it.

> lobbyists hired by industry

When an industry is not monopolized and has healthy competition why would you expect the industry, possibly represented by a trade group, to be incapable of writing good long term policy? How do you account for the many times where this has actually happened and continues to happen?

There is a monopolization problem in many industries. This gives a single corporate entity massive power. Perhaps more power than the federal government itself. Isn't this what "too big to fail" or "too big to disband" represents? Hasn't it been shown that actual legislation is meaningless to these entities already?

The primary reason the Deaf community "hates on hearing aids" is mostly because it comes at the expense of sign language.

If you're deaf and live in a Deaf community (i.e. with sign language), you will function normally in virtually every way. If you're deaf and live in a hearing community with hearing aids, you'll be forever impaired. With hearing aids and/or CI you will still be hard of hearing, you will still struggle with group conversations, at the beach or in a swimming pool, in noisy environments and so on.

Secondly, the Deaf community strongly objects to the notion that lack of hearing is a handicap and instead consider it a cultural difference. Somehow, when (we) hearing people think of the deaf we consider it a disability to e.g. have to use a vibrating wakeup alarm, but we don't consider our own inability to fall asleep in a noisy place a disability.

(For reference, deaf=impaired hearing, Deaf=sign language user)
