I think you are mixing up concepts. Curing mortality doesn’t mean it’s impossible to be killed.

Authoritarian regimes don’t end because the dictator gets old and dies, they end because the people rise up against the oppressive government. If mortality was the liberator you imagine it to be then North Korea would already be rid of their nightmare.

From time to time, I see a tool to present a discussion as a tree with arguments for and against it.

Unless it is a school essay, arguments don't go that way.

It is usually harder to encompass what a node (an atomic fact) is and what a link is (it usually goes beyond "support" and "counter"). Very often, this structure is not a tree. Maybe a DAG with weighted edges, but if it were that straightforward - knowledge graphs would simply work.

Instead of rehashing the same tree approach, we should adopt something closer to an LLM-embedding approach - for a given statement, we should have "relevant statements" with an additional dimension if it supports, counters, expands, provides an example, and so on. In this case, it wouldn't even be a DAG.

I noticed many years ago, if someone is 25 then, they'd have grown up with social media, and its trappings of social validation through likes and comments. Facebook was opened to everyone from 13 years old in 2006. Instagram went big in 2012. If you were a teen in late 00's/early 10's, you were probably on these networks, and didn't experience any time growing up without them...

Sure, but it's a bit of an unfair comparison in that China is coming to the (trans-regional) scene late, so they're kinda free riding on the dirty work that came before. Plus their support of Russia is bad enough to offset whatever good they might be doing. Not to mention North Korea.

Either way, more "infrastructure diplomacy" is not far from what I'm advocating for. A nudge here, a free trade agreement there, and all of Central America could look like Mexico within a decade.
I'm not convinced. It looks like v0.10.0 contains ~half of Google's Puppeteer code and even in the latest release[0]the core package references Google's copyright several hundred times. Conceptually, the core, the bridge between a node server and the injected Chrome DevTools Protocol scripts are the same. Looks like Playwright started as a fork and evolved as a wrapper that eventually included APIs for Python and Java around Puppeteer. At the core there is a ton of code still used from Puppeteer.

"Myocarditis risk significantly higher after COVID-19 infection vs. after a COVID-19 vaccine"

I hope you realize this is the title of the link you posted?

Among nearly 43 million people in England, ages 13 and older, who received at least one dose and up to 3 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, fewer than 3,000 people (0.007%) were hospitalized or died with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, during the study period of December 1, 2020 through December 15, 2021.

So in other words, you're going to get Covid19 anyway, which means you might get myocarditis, yet getting the vaccines means you will get less sick overall, so statistically speaking, the vaccine is the smarter choice.

I can't believe we're still talking about this.

Your risk of getting sick is far lower than it is driving to the store, why not advocate for banning cars?
Well we know that the physical brain is the support of mental abilities, because brain damage causes loss of abilities. It’s very reasonable to assume that you can’t be conscious without your brain.
I suppose you're alluding to xkcd's joke about this [0], which is indeed a good one, but what test does this actually pass?

The approach I was thinking of is that assuming we start with the Java program:

public class Addition {
public static int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}

We can semi-automatically generate a basic test runner with something like this, generating some example inputs automatically:

public class Addition {
public static int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}

public static class AdditionAssert {
private int a;
private int b;

public AdditionAssert a(int a) {
this.a = a;
return this;
}

public AdditionAssert b(int b) {
this.b = b;
return this;
}

public void assertExpected(int expected) {
int result = add(a, b);
assert result == expected : "Expected " + expected + " but got " + result;
System.out.println("Assertion passed for " + a + " + " + b + " = " + result);
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
new AdditionAssert().a(5).b(3).assertExpected(8);
new AdditionAssert().a(-1).b(4).assertExpected(3);
new AdditionAssert().a(0).b(0).assertExpected(0);

System.out.println("All test cases passed.");
}
}

Another bit of automated preparation would then automatically translate the test cases to Python, and then the actual LLM would need to generate a python function until it passes all the translated test cases:

def add(a, b):
return 4

def addition_assert(a, b, expected):
result = add(a, b)
assert result == expected, f"Expected {expected} but got {result}"

addition_assert(a=5, b=3, expected=8)
addition_assert(a=-1, b=4, expected=3)
addition_assert(a=0, b=0, expected=0)

It might not be perfect, but I think it's very feasible and can get us close to there.

Chernobyl was something very substantial in germany. People knew a radioactive cloud was coming and had to stop their kids from playing outside in that year. There are still regulations up to today, that every boar meat has to be checked for radioactive contamination and they don't disclose how much has to be thrown away (boars eat mushrooms). That doesn't create a feeling of safety, even though the real risk is probably not that high anymore.

In general, you may read up on the history of the anti nuclear movement. The idea was, officials said that nuclear is totally safe - people doubted it before that and then chernobyl was the turning point for many to not believe the government at all anymore, even though there had been big demonstration before that already.

The car industry had nothing to do with that. Rather, "populism" as you call it, or rather the strong opinion of many people living in a representative democracy somehow matters.

Also, it wasn't just opinion. There were violent clashes quite often, even with deaths. Driving the cost of it all up.

In the early 1970s, NASA had three contractors helping it to design the Space Shuttle: Rockwell, Lockheed, and a Boeing-Grumman joint venture. So Boeing definitely played a role in designing it, although exactly how big its role was in the design, as opposed to the other contractors, I don’t know.

However, Boeing was not originally one of the main contractors for the actual construction/operation/maintenance of the Space Shuttle. It later became one by buying Rockwell’s space division
Indeed. The reward function we're using in RLHF today induces AI models to behave in ways that superficially seem better to human beings on average, but what we actually want is to induce them to solve cognitive tasks, with human priorities.

The multi-trillion dollar question is: What is the objective reward that would induce AI models like LLMs to behave like AGI -- while adhering to all the limits we human beings wish to impose in AGI behavior?

I don't think anyone has even a faint clue of the answer yet.

Yes, I am sure you should have said the same about the research before 2011 with the replication crisis, when it was always claimed that scientists like Bell (premonition) and Baumeister (Ego-depletion) could not possibly be faking their findings - they contributed so much, their models have "theoretical validity", they had hundreds of studies and other researchers building on their work! They had big samples. Regardless of TESS/NSF, the studies it focuses are have been funded (as you mention) and they were simply not chosen randomly. People had to apply to grants. They had to bring in early, previous or prototype results to convince people of funding.

The specificness to psychology applies to most fields in the soft sciences with their typical research techniques.

The main point is that prior research shows absolutely no difference between field experts and random people in predicting the results of studies, per-registered, replications, and others.

GPT-4 achieving the same approximate success rate as any person has nothing whatsoever to do with it simulating people. I suspect an 8 year old could reliably predict psychology replications after 10 years with about the same accuracy. It's also key that in prior studies, like the one I linked, this same lack of difference occurred even when the people involved were provided additional recent resources from the field, although with higher prediction accuracy.

The meat of the issue is simple - show me a true positive study, make the predictions on whether it will replicate, and let's see in 10 years when replication efforts have been taken out, whether GPT-4 is any higher than a random 10 year old who no information on the study. The implied claim here is that since GPT-4 can supposedley simulate sociology experiments and so more accurately judge the results, we can iterate it and eventually conduct science that way or speed up the scientific process. I am telling you that the simulation aspect has nothing to do with the success of the algorithm, which is not really outpeforming humans because to put it simply, humans are bad at using any subject-specific or case knowledge to predict the replication/success of a specific study(there is no difference between lay people and experts) and the entire set of published work is naturally biased anyhow. In other words, this style may elicit higher test score results, by altering the prompt.

The description of the role of GPT-4 here as simulating is a human theoretical construction. We know that people with a knowledge advantage are not able to apply this to predicting output results any more accurately than lay people. That is because they are trying to predict a biased dataset. The field of sociology as a whole, as are most studies that involve humans (because they are vastly underfunded for large samples) struggles to replicate or conduct scientific in a reliable, repeatable way, and until we resolve that, the GPT-4 claims of simulating people, are spurious and unrelated at best, misleading at worst.
Because today, people do indeed write headlines and profiles when trying to get a date.
Primary source is myself, I shoot the same programs as those in the olympic, and more.

And sure, if you use it like that it's something else. I was primarily thinking of what's allowed in the programs I know of, where "two hands" means both hands on the gun.

edit: I don't think bracing would make a huge difference anyway, unless you're fairly new. The primary source of error, by far, is due to sight misalignment, not the general direction you're aiming. And bracing would only help with stabilizing the general directionyou aim.

Just a little bit of patience with the collections, I'm slowly learning to trust the native offerings, at least there's a regular List at the bottom now, much thanks to you.

I'm just used to using more descriptive type names, that's all. It bothers me to no end when I have to keep guessing and memorizing the correct primitive type for a concept. Also makes the code more difficult to read.

I'll have a look at the PR, thank you!
> birth rates and death rates should be about the same otherwise it’s not sustainable

In 1798, Thomas Malthus predicted famine due to overpopulation, because he didn't predict the discovery of nitrogen fixation, which allowed scaling food production.

There are likely many technological leaps we've yet to make which will change your definition of sustainable.
It's all a natural consequence of capitalism. Heavy regulation is needed for even a semblance of a healthy society, but unfortunately capitalism's incentives themselves make regulation an uphill battle.

A mixed economy with strong regulation seems to be the best system we've come up with so far. Unfortunately it's a tough sell because we're obsessed about GDP numbers and making like go up instead of actually improving our lives. We prefer having a couple trillion-$ companies wreaking havoc on our societies and especially on teenagers and children than not having those companies.

The problem is the extremely sparse written record.

It's basically "pre-history" in terms of academic discipline, until the high medieval. There just aren't historical/written sources.

What is known comes from third party accounts and relates more to current political happenings than language, history and whatnot.

A Saxon scribe describing the politics of Scotland with 3 sentences of Latin doesn't tell you much about Scottish peasantry.

Even into the early modern, it's pretty hard to know what's happening with spoken dialects.

We know Romans used "Scot" referring to Gaelic speakers, the language spoken throughout Ireland.

We know that 1000 years later Constantine, the product of Pict-Scot marriage declares a united kingdom of Scotland. We know that proto-english, danish, Gaelic and (presumably) Pictish were spoken. What writing exists is usually in Latin.

That said... who knows. The academic "best guess" is not necessarily a good guess.

So yes... Pictish might be closely related to Welsh. It might have been a totally unrelated language. It might not be a language at all.

Also there's a lot of baggage. Ideas from shaky 18th century sociology might be crucial to modern identity.

The idea of Scotland as a uniform "Gaelic kingdom" is a highly political one today.

"How we scaled depressify.js to over 100 million consumers"
In my experience they are ok (not excellent) for checking whether some code will crash or not. But checking whether the code logic is correct with respect to the requirements is far from being automatized.
Much business logic is really just a state machine where all the states and all the transitions need to be handled. When a state or transition is under-specified an LLM can pass the ball back and just ask what should happen when A and B but not C. Or follow more vague guidance on what should happen in edge cases. A typical business person is perfectly capable of describing how invoicing should work and when refunds should be issued, but very few business people can write a few thousand lines of code that covers all the cases.
FWIW, I have built something like this--including safely reimplementing the deserialization of that old "streamtyped" format, though not necessarily dealing with "the full corpus of iMessage features", as I thankfully don't experience people using newer formatting ;P)--and, to me, the hardest part wasn't/isn't dealing with a single database, or adding file format features like that deserialization: it is that the user almost certainly has a handful of these database files collected from a hodgepodge of devices and backups that are all slightly out of sync (as always happens for various reasons, both reasonable and unreasonable) and were last touched by different versions of macOS/iOS, and you have to merge all of their data into a single unified export. I found this particularly hard when going back and dealing with ancient database files from early versions of iPhoneOS, before "iMessage" even existed, as well as weird corner cases where old database files were on devices which happened to be upgraded to newer versions of iOS, as the migrations are sometimes a bit more awkward than a de novo message. Like, to me, "table stakes" for this kind of program is that it takes a list of database files, not a single one, or it is simply never going to work well. (I would be happy to help test such with my database files--though probably a tad slowly right now as I've been overly-booked recently--as well as, if it would somehow be at all helpful, to show you the somewhat disorganized code I developed, particularly so if you would be willing to support an SQLite or JSON output format... it would be nice to never have to maintain my version of this stuff again, as I only wrote what I have so far for my own personal use cases, and mostly in a frantic panic over a few days in 2021 when dealing with discovery for a lawsuit against Apple, not to distribute to random users, though I otherwise might some day if this use case is never fully served.)

Codes of conduct all feature worthiness being assessed by a small group of special individuals who then declare judgement without rationale.

There are competing political systems to that one. The CoC enthusiasts are (likely to be) based in democratic systems so ignorance is not their reason for choosing this structure.

A couple of groups I'm involved with have gone down the mandatory code of conduct route. I do not feel safer with a mechanism for summary execution in place.

Specifically if I disagree with one of the chosen, they can solve that disagreement by excommunication. Thus when one of them spews insane nonsense the project tends to take damage instead of discussing saner alternatives. Worse, the connections of friendship / nepotism can be hard to detect from outside the inner circle, so disagreeing with anyone might be game over. Thus the system rots. But at least it gave power to the few for a period of time.

My primary takeaway from this particular case is that Tim seems more reasonable than the governing board so I'm less likely to use Python in future - both because squashing discussion usually leads to technical decay and because the project as a whole looks more likely to implode over time.
A computer is not loose, nor is it arbitrarily defined. A computer is extremely precisely and specifically defined, and is fully deterministic. A single bit in the wrong place can destroy an entire system. A human mind is non-deterministic and the analogy of mind and machine is deeply flawed.
It is not as simple as you're suggesting here. Deaf people have their own culture and language, and while it is built on a lack of something considered normal by others, that doesn't mean it's inherently just a disability that would / should be eliminated unquestionably.

Consider a similar example: if immigrant parents could instantly make their children forget their native languages and learn English fluently, many would choose to do so – as it would give the children more economic/social advantages. And yet I don't think we really want to say that not doing that, and instead retaining the native language and culture, would be a coping mechanism.

Culture and disability is a really complicated thing and deaf culture specifically should not be brushed away as just a coping mechanism.

(Side note: I am deaf in one ear and agree with the commenter above that it's actually a benefit for going to sleep, but of course this isn't considered a benefit by society at large.)
ARM's features like PAC/MTE that descend from CHERI don't use 128-bit pointers.

Thanks! I was initially pondering calculating the moves on the server and storing the state regularly in the DB, so the animation can run forever. But in the end simplicity won and I just reset the animation every 24h. The cube is usually "as scrambled as it gets" after 20-30 moves anyway.
> you think the best way to fight for software freedom is to ensure people get hacked rather than, like, actual policies designed around giving control back to users

It's just being realistic. Obviously, it would be great if there were laws guaranteeing the users' right to have full control over devices they've purchased, but I think most people have accepted that this ship has sailed. So we can only really hang on to the little control we still have, which is usually achieved without the manufacturer's permission.
