Whatever you think my opinion is of Perl you're probably wrong and the tone of your advocacy is kind of odd.

Awk is older and as a part of POSIX the version found on unix-like environments will be (outside of extensions) compatible with others. If one or one without the extensions you want isn't present you can choose an implementation, even one in Go and it'll work.

Perl, and I've been writing Perl since Perl4, doesn't have those characteristics. It's a much more powerful language that has changed over the years and it is not always present by default on a unix-like system. Because the maintainers value backward compatibility, even scripts written on Perl5.005 have a fair chance of working on a modern version but it's not assumed (and you shouldn't assume anything about modules). Because Awk is fossilized, you can assume that.

Hippocampal replay was the main subject of my dissertation. It has been studied primarily in rodents, but there have been a lot more human studies in the meantime.

My PhD proposal was to suggest that cognitive fatigue is an adaptive construct. Rather than reflect a depletion of glucose and that people can't function anymore, cognitive fatigue is a suggestion for the agent to go 'offline' and replay.

Two of my collaborators wrote an extremely influential paper writing down a Q-learning equation for replay: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-018-0232-z

The “generative AI” that has been in PS for years is nothing like today’s LLM based gen AI tools such as sending Midjourney or Firefly.
The vast majority of the time floats are a significantly more convenient representation, with more than enough precision for the job, and alternatives are so slow that they are somewhere between painful and literally impossible to use. Arbitrary precision computation grows exponentially more expensive as you perform arithmetic operations on it, and people routinely apply transcendental functions whose results cannot be represented using a finite number of binary digits.

If you are finding otherwise in your personal work, you are likely in some niche field sheltered far from the bulk of numerical computing applications.
IIRC they were roughly contemporaneous (forth was around longer, but mostly as something Chuck played with and most people didn't learn about until much later). In those days you couldn't just google for alternatives or hop on something like HN to see what other people were working on. So you wound up with all sorts of local variants on the same idea, and it was only years later (if ever) that people learned that they were working on similar ideas, unless 1) somebody published, 2) hallway chatter at a conference, 3) somebody knew somebody who knew somebody and you found out serendipitously. Very different vibe.

This was somewhat the thesis of my dissertation.

I suggested cognitive fatigue was an adaptive construct that biases people to go offline and replay their memories, and that this was decision-theory optimal from a learning / reward perspective.

Traceoid (http://traceoid.ai) | Remote

We are working on making energy-based models (EBMs) viable by revisiting some of the math that underlies machine learning.
Here is what Yann LeCun had to say about EBMs https://x.com/ylecun/status/1380066315600343042

Please reach out if you have background in any of these or related fields (or are excited to learn):

- integrable systems

- category theory

- functional programming

- compilers

- statistical mechanics

- computational physics

Our company operates at the intersection of research & development, and as a part of this job, you will be reading papers and implementing some very cool research from the above fields. Ideal candidate would understand how one goes about writing high perf code as well as be able to explain the concept of a Hamiltonian.
If we succeed, our approach will mark a significant step forward towards achieving AGI.

We are currently in the final stages of establishing the company and to that end, we are in the process of working out the exact positions, salary ranges and such. As a result, we might not be officially hiring for another month. That being said, if the job sounds interesting, please do not hesitate and contact us at adamnemecek+hnhiring@gmail.com.
In addition, while we are finalizing investments, there might still be some space left in the current round, so if you are interested in hearing our pitch, please reach out to adamnemecek+hninvestments@gmail.com.

Please just go get a scan somewhere honest (not the US). You might want scans at regular intervals to see if it’s stable, growing, etc, discuss with multiple doctors

In your case nobody in the US system wants the liability of saying you can keep it under observation for a while, and insurance doesn’t want to pay for any more scans.

In Japan I got a shoulder MRI for $300 with an appointment available the next day. For $75 more I sat down with the radiologist who showed me the scan and talked me through it.

You can probably get them cheaper in Mexico, just as fast, with similar quality if you do a little searching

US healthcare is literally a scam. At Swedish Cherry Hill a doctor sent me down to the emergency room for a scan which cost me $8000. I got numerous bills from different parties, plus I was trapped in that room for eight hours under vague threats of legal consequences if I left, while they ran up the tab.
This sounds like a great way to have every university pivot towards producing nothing but doctors, lawyers, and engineers.
>Seattle, which is well known in that community to have been a target area of directed energy weapons.

This statement needs to be qualified. Unless there was a development breakthrough, energy weapons are still theoretical. Much less for them to be utilized so widely for specific communities of the public to become "well known" targets.
I think one thing we've learned in the past 5 years or so is how inadequate our vocabulary is to describe all the different aspects of intelligence and consciousness (and really just psychology in general). Everything is so handwave-y. What is educability, exactly, in a formal sense -- how could we quantify it and measure it? Mostly we've tried to answer questions like that by writing tests and trying to tease out some reliable measure from it, but that requires so many layers of indirection -- it would be much better to examine the internal state and activity of a "thinking system" directly, something that is rarely possible in humans. I think one way to show that the tests are inadequate is to read the responses to people when those tests are applied to AI. People insist that they simply don't measure what they're supposed to measure in people when they're applied to AI, and for all anyone knows, they may be right -- but _why_? What _exactly_ are those tests measuring, and how could we measure it in a way that _would_ apply to artificial intelligence?

These are philosophical questions that really, despite our best efforts, have never transitioned to a true science, and philosophy has been working on it for thousands of years. We've been hamstrung by the fact that as far as we knew, we were the only intelligent beings in the universe, so it's extremely difficult take any aspect of "the way we think" and separate it, by finding some system that thinks in some ways like us, but in other ways doesn't. It's really only been since we've had large neural networks that anything has approached the way we think in _any_ aspect, so this is probably a once-in-history opportunity to formalize and systematize all of this.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but I don't think these degrees are being marketed as vocational credentials like you'd see at a vocational school. If you get one of the more questionable humanities degrees and expect it to get you a job, that's not exactly a reasonable expectation. Some degrees basically double as a vocational credential (CS, medicine, and even journalism), but not all.

A big problem is that a lot of people think that doing what they're told by the "smart people in charge" (which might include their parents), they can expect to succeed in life. And a lot of people told the kids to follow their passions but also get into the most elite school possible in order to impress some HR person. This was bad advice.
Personally, I feel more like I'm a monkey in a circus than in a rat race. I'll dance for the music when we're in the big tent, but the show stops for me when the tent is pulled down for the day.

> Why spend a minute or two in Python if you can get an answer in 15 seconds instead?

Because you (or someone else) can run your Python later if needed, and have confidence the output will be the same.

Sure, there are some times when a one-liner is needed, and you can always put that one line in a document for others to run. I can think of many times when I was on-call and needing to grep some data out of logs that wasn't already in a graph/dashboard somewhere. When time is of the essence, or if you're really really sure that you won't need to run the same or similar thing ever again, even if the data changes. I even changed my shell to make up-arrow go through commands with the same prefix instead of linearly traversing command history because I had so many useful one-liners I re-ran later.

But as I've gotten more experienced, I've come to appreciate the value of committing those one liners to code as early as possible, and having that code reviewed. Sometimes a really useful tool will even emerge from that.

> ...the bill would hold universities partially accountable for defaults by their student borrowers.

Some possible outcomes here:

1. Universities might be incentivized to underwrite the loans themselves to have more control over defaults.

2. Universities might change admissions to prefer those who are less likely to default.

3. Universities might prefer or require no financing.

4. Universities will require more information about and be more sensitive to any loans that students make.

> Under the bill, if poor student outcomes resulted, institutions would be financially responsible for a portion of any loans their students struggled to pay off.

"poor student outcomes" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It could change school administration incentives drastically depending on the definition.

Unfortunately, I think this "solution" will make universities change a lot of things before they change curriculums/teaching/courses. Ultimately, they will think: what control do we really have over whether a graduate makes a lot of money?

Sampson here, from Developer Relations at Brave. Would you mind telling me a bit more about how you have Brave configured, so that I can make sure local testing and troubleshooting on my end reflects your scenario accurately? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

You are presumably using the "Clear on Exit" feature, located within settings at brave://settings/clearBrowserData. When you select the "On Exit" tab of that view, which options do you have selected? Do you find that none of the data types are cleared when you close the browser (via › Exit), or only some of them are cleared?

I'm also curious about the state of two options within brave://settings/system, namely "Close window when closing last tab," and "Warn me before closing window with multiple tabs". Are both of these enabled?

Thank you in advance
I think when considering proposals such as this one, it's important to first consider what the purpose of university is. To many people, universities are just another kind of school. To others, the research mission comes first, and teaching students is a second order effect. This is codified in the mission statements of various universities -- for instance Caltech's: "The mission of the California Institute of Technology is to expand human knowledge and benefit society through research integrated with education."

This proposal would tie the existence of a program and its associated research directly to the employability of the (mostly undergraduate?) students. Presumably entire disciplines would be slaughtered overnight, and not just the ones that right wing commentators like to go on about. You could kiss goodbye to essentially all arts education, and most niche sciences like Archaeology. You'd then massively shift to vocational degrees like engineering, law and medicine.

I think that one issue that has been identified is that the federal government is underwriting a whole bunch of student loans that will likely never be paid, and universities are not incentivised at all to keep prices down. Employability is somewhat orthogonal to that.

You also have to deal with the millions of people who already have these loans, who undeniably need bailing out at least somewhat.
That reminds me of an old paper about "Benny's Rules", a case-study focused on a kid who seemed to be doing better than average in math tests when it came to final answers... but for all the wrong reasons, using an inferred set of arbitrary text manipulation rules.

The intent was to point out that the educational approach was flawed, but I think there are interesting parallels to token processing in LLMs, which--unlike a human child--are built in such a way that crazy partial-fit rules are likely their only option.

> Benny believed that the fraction 5/10 = 1.5 and 400/400 = 8.00 because he believed the rule was to add the numerator and denominator and then divide by the number represented by the highest place value.

> You are probably conscious right now of more things that you don't even register

I would say this is a contradiction.

This is begging the question. It seems possible that we were conscious of our dreams if we remember them and were not conscious of them if we don't.

You know, the sort of weapon everyone agrees is not possible or feasible at this stage.

And definitely not a hysterical reaction based on some people who faked the most common symptoms ever and tried to make it look like something it wasn't by saying "it' s affecting intelligence assets".

I have Havana syndrome on a regular basis. But not being an intelligence assets, I get no compensation and no sensationalist article in the press praising my incredible bravery and feeling sorry for me.
Yet weighing all these factors is decidedly a subjective call. Unless it's something stupid like half an hour for an app that's considerably simpler than a web browser or OS, I would fire any manager who prioritized build time or test execution time over live performance.

Also, "dependency quality" just recursively moves the entire quality criteria to the next level.

This feels like a very 2010s comment, when it was assumed that one has to be on every single social network app, copy/pasting the same 'content' into each of them, in order to be visible online. All that did was turn the net into a giant monoculture of hot takes and too-short posts. Only influencers and shovel-sellers need that.
Can summarize this as once the standard MBAs come in, tech companies 50/50 go down the drain. They’ll often survive and return shareholder value, but won’t be a place worth working beyond rest and vest.

Or, they are where to play the game with some other sociopaths who know the silly rules are silly but lead to great TC if you play (and somewhere in the background there’s a company/product). Rinse/repeat because the median HBS grad needs a job somewhere!

Actually, that's why there's judge to interpret the Law

In Europe, in general (and that's something that look a bit strange to US it seem), we judge on THE SPIRIT of the Law more than on THE TEXT. So a European court would surely consider "hate speech" independantly of how it is phrased exactly

However "I think the Nazis were 100% right in what they did to the Jews" is IMHO NOT "hate speech" but an opinion. What would be "hate speech" would be more "We have to kill the XXXXXX" (insert any race, color, religion, sex....) or "All the XXX must die" (different phrasing, same idea).

"Hate speech" is, well, spreading hate against some people. The judge will decide case by case. Example: some humorist have some racists jokes but the context will make clear if it "hate speech" (1st degree) or "humor" (2nd degree)
