Your #3 is interesting because how this manifests with real-world media is the ideologues are typically countries of executives who don't want things like gay relationships shown and creators have to fight, often for years and years, to get their vision shown. But this thread is praising this Chinese studio for doing exactly that under the guise of being apolitical. So I agree with you wholeheartedly #3 is really bad, and creators should get to make the art they want to make and shouldn't have to censor to get into specific markets.

I genuinely can't think of an example of #2 that goes the direction you want. Because in the wider context I think you imagine that one trans character in the new harry potter game to be an example but she doesn't exist to push a political message, but because the creators just wanted to have some representation and piss JK Rowling off. But shit like Call of Duty or Top Gun where it's literally military propaganda making the armed forces look cool to increase recruitment is the strongest #2 that's out there. But if you intend any story that has a moral to be an example then we're back to "that's how stories work," we like art that has a point.

So this is a long way to say that I completely agree with you, I just think that most of the common examples of #2 "gamers" get mad at is really #1 where creators are just artists in a liberal environment and are inspired by a new archetypes of people they can make characters with or just want to see their own experience represented. I think it just feels one sided because one of the core attitudes of half the political spectrum is saying how useless art is and how not worthwhile it is as a career so almost every artist is liberal (source: my partner went to art school, I'm a red-blooded conservative compared to them goddamn).
Using those examples when comparing software and hardware engineering _in general_ gives a skewed perception of things. Three of those companies are only interested in hardware as a way to optimize their (incredibly profitable) software business, and Apple/NVIDIA are two of the three largest companies on earth. That's a teeny tiny slice of the job market.

I'd bet that if you averaged out compensation from the top 100 paying companies for both hardware and software engineering rather than the top 5, the software number would be nearly double the hardware number. Once you start look at "normal" companies, the difference in margins between software and hardware and its effect on pay becomes very clear.

If you want certainty you'd use Reproducible Builds and know for sure which compiler generates this binary from the given source code.

This assumes the code is open source, you know which specific source code release was used and the author of the binary is making an effort to document the build environment that was used, e.g. through an attached SBOM.

They could easily insource their entire operation in order to guarantee slave free chocolate, but you would end up with very expensive chocolate. That is probably why they dropped their "100 percent slave free" slogan. They still need to make a profit and at the moment you can only do that with slave labour.

If a person could unequivocally understand themselves without understanding their past, then the trivial understanding of mere knowledge of the past should have no impact on their current self-understanding capabilities. Thus, a person with ongoing amnesia, unable to form memories which extend beyond a day's context window, would have no disadvantage in terms of self-understanding.

> apart from the fact that dark matter predictions have been contradicted by increasingly sensitive experiments over and over and over

My impression is that many physicists would disagree with this characterization entirely, and that they're eagerly working to constrain what it is or isn't. Ruling out big classes of phenomena that could be responsible for the things we observe isn't "contradicting" the predictions in the sense implied.
Yes, and that page does not list Dart or Flutter, the projects you made false claims about. Writing something that turned out to not be true is understandable, anyone can get fooled by misinformation and pass it on.

What's not acceptable is that after being called out on it, you didn't admit you were wrong and retract the falsehoods. You're instead apparently doubling down on some kind of bizarro "they canceled some other projects in the past, so it's cool for me to brazenly lie about these ones having just been canceled" defence.

Are people moving to other crops that aren’t as water intensive with all the global warming and erratic weather patterns that are developing around the world?

You need a stack because you could have sub expressions that also have commas. You only get away with an FSM if your syntax doesn’t best anything.

Well sure, but at least in comparison with the entire history of life on this planet, we've known close to nothing until the last ~400 years and have since figured out most that practically matters to us on a daily basis. We don't know how to cure cancer, but we know exactly what it is.

We're certainly still wrong about exotic types of matter, gravity, fundamental particles, the ways completely arbitrary things function, like genes in a cell, etc... but we know that cells exist, what they're composed of, and we're definitely not wrong about that, and that is frankly infinitely more knowledge than we've ever had before. What's left to find are mostly increasingly more nitpicky details that are nonetheless very important, but they don't change our understanding anywhere nearly as drastically.

To wrap back around to my original point, in comparison to everything else the amount of knowledge we've gained on paranormal things since tribal shaman times is about zero. It's still all hearsay and speculation and it's not for the lack of trying.

While the democratic period is the height of Greek cultural achievements, democracy is not easy.

If the state is ruled by the people, people should care to do the ruling, and have to be competent. It's a job; it takes time and effort.

To do such a job, a person needs to understand things related to it, keep their eye on it, and has to know people around well enough to vote for / against them at elections. This works best with local issues and small communities that interact daily. The poster child of democracy, Switzerland, which holds national referenda multiple times a year, is about the size of Maryland, with a population about the size of NYC (not the greater New York city area). And it has 3 major languages (4 official), 26 cantons with local laws that are sometimes materially different, and very strict immigration and integration rules.

In other words, democracy is hard to scale. What passes for democracy in larger Western countries is representative democracy, when citizens don't get involved in the state affairs as much, but select and hire other people to do that, sort of like shareholders elect a board and a CEO for the company they collectively own. It's way better than despotic monarchy, of course, but introduces an obvious agency problem. It also introduces the problem of showing off instead of competence, because the voters have rather vague idea about most candidates, having never met them in real life, interacted in business, etc. Look at the US presidential elections, they are a colossal and sad show of just that, every 4 years. The miracle is that this system still works acceptably well 2.5 centuries after it was instituted. It's already longer than the Athenian democracy.
One of the biggest sources of the world's sugar today is corn (as High Fructose Corn Syrup), which is a rather expensive "concentration" process but is heavily subsidized in the United States by a large number of interlocking subsidies in US's strange, complex multi-grade corn system which leads to "cheap" access of lots of "waste" corn that that is "cheap as free" enough that the expensive "concentration" efforts are still profitable at cheap costs.

One of the "best" sources of "plain" white sucrose (versus fruit's heavier balance of fructose) is sugar cane, which is a plant that prefers sub-tropical regions and often islands at that and historically required massive plantations with slave labor to get cheap and today involve massive expensive industrial harvesters and international cooperation of subsidies, grants, and colonial legacies.

Maple trees grow in northern climates and real Maple syrups are expensive today as a number of subsidies expired and demand outpaced production and even available supply.

Other fruit syrups compete against the primary uses of their fruits.

Commenting on YouTube:

Massive content sites like YouTube have a problem, the owners are a vanishingly small minority when compared to the population. If they ever have a proper public outcry they would lose in an instant. The "Algorithm" and "Automated Systems" are put in place by design to create a buffer in the minds of the people between content creators and staff. That's also why the rules are vague and sometimes randomly applied. When content creators don't know all the rules around what will hurt or help them then they are motivated to be as passive as possible via learned helplessness. A system of random punishment and ever changing rewards will keep people guessing what the "algorithm" wants and what causes strikes. How YouTube operates is a master class in mass manipulation. YouTube MUST randomly abuse people to instill a source-less fear to maintain control.

“In my humble opinion, these companies would not allocate a second of compute to lightweight models if they thought there was a straightforward way to achieve the next leap in reasoning capabilities.”

The rumour/reasoning I’ve heard is that most advances are being made on synthetic data experiments happening after post-training. It’s a lot easier and faster to iterate on these with smaller models.

Eventually a lot of these learnings/setups/synthetic data generation pipelines will be applied to larger models but it’s very unwieldy to experiment with the best approach using the largest model you could possibly train. You just get way fewer experiments per day done.

The models bigger labs are playing with seem to be converging to about what is small enough for a researcher to run an experiment overnight.

>It turns out molecular genetics has (for lack of a better word) thoroughly debunked [the view that Intelligence is significantly heritable].

There is also a replication crisis in post-modern science.

Not to mention, is it even legal, let alone reasonably possible for a study to publish in a real journal the view that Intelligence is heritable, in particular when it concerns race? This topic is arguably the in the top 3 forbidden taboos of western society. In European countries you can face charges of hate speech for even suggesting this, let alone dedicating a life of study regarding a certain conclusion.

That an article like this amounts to semantic evasion of the matter, like the post by gwervc here describes, does not give credibility to the side which continues to maintain that evolution has [by all significant measures] stopped at the neck.

Are you separating digging holes from drilling holes? Digging out something like a mine for people to be in to that depth is definitely hard and you are right there is a very limited number of those.

That is not really what the article is discussing though. They are talking about putting it down a drilled hole, and a mile is a very common depth for drilling. In a USGS publication summarizing deep wells in the US through 1998 [1], it talks about a dataset of more than 20,000 wells over 15,000ft (4,572 m), more than 1,000 wells over 20,000ft (6,096 m), and 52 over 25,000ft (7,620 m).

I've been reading a lot about Reagan recently, watched a few of his debates. Politics has always been dirty, and I wouldn't say going backwards you get like gradually more serious, but I really miss the time when our Presidents got on stage and seemed to take ideas and policy discussions seriously. In some ways I suspect the post-world war 2 era in American politics was unique, I mean just after our founding up through the Civil War, congresspeople went as far as having duel's to the death.

I feel like I need to read a lot more to really understand Reagan and his legacy, but there are in general lots of things about the vision he painted for America that were inspirational. I'm very curious why it is in that two seemingly comparable times, division following the civil rights movement and the economic troubles of the 70's compared with today, Reagan was able to run on such a positive hopeful message (It's morning in America) and today Republican's seem to be running on just the opposite.
When apps have native look and feel, they have consistent behaviour, affordances and accessibility:

- buttons are labeled and placed correctly, and respond to expected input (including secondary focus and secondary action on MacOS, for example)

- dropdowns/selects behave correctly, and respond to expected input (for example, you can type to select in MacOS dropdowns).

- windows have OS-defined areas for drag/resize, for titles, for toolbars etc. They also appear correctly in the OS's window management tools (app switchers etc.)

- text inputs use the OS-default shortcuts and have access to OS-provided tools (e.g. spell checker)

- controls and windows respond correctly to keyboard and mouse. E.g. for a while Apple's own Catalyst apps didn't have the standard Cmd+Q to close the app. Many custom modals do not dismiss the modal on Escape

- context menus are standard in the places where you expect standard context menus. Well, app menus, too.

And the list just goes on and on.

Annecdata : Our primate brains has random number generators to keep our head moving and scanning the environment for threats (there a possible veritasium video on this topic). But my friend in university had a possible (gene?) modification which allowed him to focus on a particular task intently. He could ignore distractions very easily and unsurprisingly he could grok biology and physics textbooks like crazy. The fact a spider with salt sized brain can weave a web without seen examples is a proof that genes do have effects on brains and capabilities.
I think the discussion around "exponentials" with top-end LLM (think 3.5 sonnet, gpt-4 not the smaller models) scaling is really pointless. The heuristic we have for what to expect from performance is just scaling, which has worked pretty well. These benchmarks are imperfect in lots of ways, aren't necessarily sensitive to showing exponential progress and it is difficult to predict step changes in capability in advance.

If you zoom out on the first graphic from December 2023 back to 2020, the capabilities of models released at that time on these benchmarks would be much much lower. The best lens for future performance of large models is uncertainty.

I think we have to make a distinction between "concepts" being out of date and tools being out of date. I would not consider the concept (or architectural decision) to run a system on a fleet of VMs as outdated. However tools (e.g. compilers) absolutely go out of date once they are being deprecated and need timely migrations.

In the latter case I would consider it a red flag if some long-deprecated tool turned up in the tech stack of a company, but there might be perfectly good reasons to stick to the former, a bunch of VMs, instead of operating a Kubernetes cluster.

I ran a small Kubernetes cluster once and it turned out to be the wrong decision _at that time_. I think I would be delighted to see a job ad from a company that mentioned both (common hypervisors/VMs, containers/Kubernetes) in their tech stack. Without more information I would think that company took their time to evaluate their needs irrespective of current tech trends.

Maintaining boundaries in your code is something you can do in any language, regardless of built-in support in the language or tooling.

Ironically, untyped languages like js and python are particularly prone to the problems from poor unstructured code, because you can't use static type checking to find broken dependencies at compile time.

Agreed.

It's a classic post-modern 'we cannot define intelligence even when we see it'. IQ is such a bad proxy for intelligence! There's no gene for IQ! Regardless, let's keep digging in genes because that's the established science and grants are coming our way. This is the best available study to date!
