If I were to look for an expert, I'd consult

- authors of leading textbooks or (open source or commercial) (hardware or software) systems;

- people that have many patents to their name in the respective area;

- scientists that have many peer-reviewed conference and journal publication to their name that are cited often;

- people that have or had O1 visa status ("outstanding scientist") or that served in committees for scientific bodies or governments, or as expert witnesses at trials.

I occasionally provide advice as a commercial service to find the right specialist for corporate clients for any given topic (knowledge brokerage).

I also offer a 1:1 "AI consultation" to CXOs in my own fields of expertise (machine learning, natural language processing, information retrieval, software engineering), pay per use or retainer when on the board of scientific advisors.

There is an ocean of tutorial videos out there, too, it all depends on how specific your need is.

I agree but aren’t there docs that might be needed by non-technical people as well. The general doc repo might contain “bureaucratic” information (what I mean is who owns the application, what is the security concept, what other apps does it communicate with and who are their owners, how does it get audited, etc.).

Of course we can set up an export to a static website from the repo, but how would a non-technical person edit it, say if the owner or audit process changes?
This seems unjustified. If people want it, they'll buy it. If not, no harm done. If you could e.g. embed the diagrams into Confluence pages, that's something people will definitely pay for.
As someone who loves reading and uses e-readers a lot (physical books feel cooler though), the experience of typing with an e-ink display doesn't seem enjoyable, I imagine it would have quite the delas. Have you guys coded in e-ink and it is actually okay? (I want my intuition to be wrong about this so much, because that does sound appealing)

Strawman comment
For every example of a company that bounced back due to "founder mode", there is an opposite example of a company saved by "manager mode".

The modes don't exist. You either figure out how to effectively manage the company in front of you, or you don't.
You reveal how unserious your thought process is in the very first sentence. It's impossible for me to read the rest of your text.
I Failed (2013)
The multiparty setup is better than a singular-party setup, but it burdens its deployment. How can users be confident of at least one party they can trust whose preferences vary? Further, how can deployment be made so that a malicious party does not sabotage the setup process or is sabotaged by the organiser or network failures? In other words, who would need to be blamed? Doing these things properly makes the process’s deployment significantly more expensive than centralised deployment. Hence, I don’t see them bearing any practical relevance, as any authority that organises their deployment would also be subject to cost optimisation due to human nature and as security can’t be quantified, it suffers first.

There are zero-knowledge proofs that don’t require a trusted setup phase. A plain old logarithmic equality proof is a very powerful tool, making it possible to ensure correct reencryption shuffle, decryption or encoding. They don’t get the same appeal as generic ZKP systems that get all the hype, which deters practically-minded people from getting familiar with the mechanisms and opportunities. At least, that was my experience when getting into ZKP.
Yes good points.

I have to argue the second part of this though

> minimum 12 char + uppercase/lowercase + number

The first minimum char counts rule is great. You increase the entropy exponentially with every added char.

But the second part when you make rules about each individual char, then you are actually decreasing entropy. The space of possibilities actually shrinks every time a rule defines what a char must or mustn't be. An attacker now knows that certain things are guaranteed, and can tune their brute force algorithm to expect a big ascii letter, a large ascii letter, a latin number, an ascii special char. They now have a much smaller search space than before, when each char could be any utf8 char. You're basically leaking exploitable information about the password by having character rules.

Does the Algo Encourage Clickbait?
"The idea behind the algorithm is to give high-quality content more exposure. But it's not about quality anymore. It's about what gets the most likes and shares. We end up pushing a few types of content that get engagement instead of quality. Most of the time, it's broad inspirational messages because they appeal to everyone."
The problem is 400 years ago people would have said exactly this about the soul.

It seems very possible the mind is just a superstitious artifact but this idea persist in various forms because to let go of it truly means the lights go out at death. We seem incredibly good at telling ourselves stories to deny that reality.
“Please insert identification token”
Most of those homeless folks are institutionalized in a very real, albeit virtual way. They're being held in chemical restraints and they're being continually monitored by clinicians when they do mandatory check-ins and doctor visits. The clinicians are also alerted, and swoop in, upon word of legal trouble or health crises.

The effects of medications will encourage patients to act out, decompensate, commit acts of self-harm and violence upon others. The strategy is to get them jailed or cause serious bodily harm/death, because... Well let's just say that the incentives are perverse.

Whereas lunatics of old wore visible chains and straitjackets, and were mercifully housed, fed, and clothed, now they are largely on their own, sink or swim; hope some other human family member cares enough to pick up the pieces.
I've never used it because I only use Python when speed really really doesn't matter and I don't want to have to deal with potential compatibility issues. If speed matters even in the slightest, or might matter in future, then I'll just use a faster language like Rust, Go or Typescript.

I've been enjoying the videos of 'Look Mum No Computer', building his own 60's based, electromechanical telephone exchange, is his Museum of everything else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK1lH8pjXTo

His second channel has some more dedicated content on telephone systems, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKnS0AB2CTN_eu8k8rgaO...
He has spent a fair amount of time building it out, from initially receiving his first exchanging and getting it to work, and adding more to it

It fun just to watch how the system selects lines and routes around the exchange. Other interesting things, like how the dial and engaged tones are generated, and how prerecorded messages are played back to a number that is no longer in service, something like, 'This number no longer exists, please try again'

The rule of thumb back at Netcraft was to prototype in awk/sed for brevity/expressiveness and then port to perl for production use for performance reasons.

Been a couple decades since I was wrangling the survey systems there though, no idea what it looks like now.
It looks up from script.js'd directory or the earliest parent with node_modules. Not CWD. A lot like "import somemodule" in script.py tries to import somemodule.py file from the directory script.py is in.

Traversing to the parent is especially nice for scripts. In python having scripts outside the module directory is quite painful.

Gyp is a lot easier than Python setup.py. The "easy" Java packages are comparable to pure Python/pure JS packages. With e.g. C bindings JNI/Java packaging is a horrid pain.
While I agree with most of this, I wouldn't call ball mice "cosy". Ball mice were unreliable and cleaning the rollers was an annoying chore.

I think what they’re actually saying is in certain states, both parties need to consent to being recorded. As in clicking a button to approve. Which is different than the recorder simply deciding to record by default.
This setup eats your freshly created files if you forget to run the rsync command before switching to the other computer. Not so nice. Unison [1] can avoid that problem by having some state on each side. Therefore, it always knows whether a file was just created on machine A or whether it was deleted on machine B.

Everything else is almost the same with Unison compared to rsync. There is no P2P overlay network, everything goes through ssh. It uses the rsync algorithm to optimize the transfer of changes. It is run at specific times, not always in the background. Therefore, you know when synchronization is happening and when it is finished. Unison also has rules to map different path on each side and you can exclude by path, filename, and suffix, etc.

This! One simple argument is that language is NOT a magical reasoning substance in itself, but a communication medium. It is medium for passing (a) meaning. So first there is a meaningful thought (worth of sharing), then an agent puts a SIGNIFIER on that meaningful thought, then communicates it to the recipient. Communication medium can be a sentence, it can also be an eyewink or a tail wiggle. Or a whistle. The "language" can be created on the spot, if two subjects get a meaning of signifier by intuition (e.g. I look at the object, you follow my gaze).

So the fallacy of the whole LLM field is the belief that language has some intrinsic meaning. Or if you mix the artifacts of language in some very smart way, the meaning will emerge. But it doesn't work if meaning occurs before the word. The text in books has no reasoning, it was authors. The machine shuffling the text fragments does not have a meaningful thought. The engineer which devised a shuffling machine had some meaningful thought, the users of the machine have same thoughts, but not the machine itself.
To put it another way, if there was an artificial system capable of producing meaningful thoughts, it is not a presence of language which produces a proof, it's communication. Communication requires an agent (as in "agency") and an intent. We have neither in LLM.
As to the argument that we ourselves are mere stochastic parrots - of course we can produce word salads, or fake mimics of coherent text, it is not a proof that LLM IS the way our minds work. It is just a witness to the fact language is a flexible medium for the meanings behind - it can just as well be used for cheating, pretending, etc.

Prisons for profit leads to increasing length of incarceration and simply putting in prison people who should not be there.

OK. You sent me down a new rabbit hole. It was fun. Thank you for that!

It is really interesting that a mammal can survive without its fauna. The fact that it's possible at all is important.

Axenic mice, however, need to be bred and maintained in isolators and they need to be fed a carefully prepared diet to keep them alive.

In practice, particularly in the context of de-extinction, the overall point still stands. Having the DNA does not mean we can create a viable organism. Is an elephant's fauna "close enough" so the calf can pick it up from the mother and use it?

Maybe?

But we are looking at micro-organisms separated by 10,000 years and from two very different climates, so I'm not sure if the odds are favorable.

Well, they haven't announced it's dead.

In the electronics industry, even 30-year-old microcontrollers often have pin- and software-compatible replacements available to this day. So just because something has long been surpassed, doesn't mean it becomes unavailable.

The electronics industry also has an orderly process for discontinuing parts, where customers are given advanced notice and a chance to place one last order if they want to stock up. This process hasn't been started for the Coral accelerators.

With all that said - it's pretty clear that Google has lost interest in the product. When you're making hundreds of billions of dollars from ads, who's got the time for a product line that's bringing less than 0.1% of that?

So personally I wouldn't base a new product on Coral today.
Do you also support skipping the paywall for services like AWS as well? That would be useful.
Yes; if a patient didn't [couldn't] take good care of their body to begin with, then they're punished for complaining and/or being sick.

The more they lean on the PCP or psychiatrist, the more opportunities to find "treatable" disorders.

It's a test of obedience and willingness to cooperate. You dutifully believe the screening tests, you fill the scrips, you take the pills, and now you're on a treadmill that is profitable for all parties except you, and you may notice that you're not healing but actually becoming sicker.

Let's leave aside this logical fallacy; we're all adults here.

Buying music on iTunes became popular because it was easier than pirating the music. You could buy individual songs for less than 99 cents (you still can do that [1])

News outlets have the option of selling content by the piece (as you suggest) instead of forcing you to go into a monthly or annual subscription you don't need because you just want to read 1 or 2 articles per month from a particular newspaper.

However, they don't want to do so. And because of that, pirating the content becomes again more convenient; like in the pre-iTunes years.

Your idea of using an intermediary service to get that content isn't the solution. I'm not interested in a third party profiling me based on the content I read online.

What Is Table-Oriented Programming?
The goal is to have as less gaps between the blocks as possible.

The High score is calculated with the following formula:
(elapsed seconds / 4) + operations + fragmentation

operation: each movement = 1
fragmentation: each gap between two elements = 1

inverted score system (less is better)

> I have extracted this (and other) nerves from cadavers

One of the most incredible exhibits I've seen are the anatomical tables on display in the Royal College of Physicians museum in London. When I walked into the room there were these 3-4 "doors" with what looked like shadows of people on them. The more I looked, and the more I understood what I was looking at, the more amazed I became.

The museum, and building I think, was closed for a few years but understand it's back open again.

https://history.rcplondon.ac.uk/collections/art-and-objects/...

The tables are visually spectacular. They show the recognisable form of the human body laid out flat, as if illustrating a book. The nerves, veins and arteries on display were dissected at the University of Padua’s famous anatomy theatre in the 17th century, and skilfully arranged on varnished wooden panels.
Given that you so generously keep the dictionary there, one can just open the console and paste:

words.filter((word) => word.split('').every((letter) => "egtdrnq"].indexOf(letter) !== -1) && word.indexOf('d') !== -1 && word.length>3)

But, of course, that spoils the fun :)
Nobody's every been prepared to try microtransactions that are actually micro.

There's no extortion, the fines are simply due to the company not following courts' decisions. The money itself is inconsequential, the fines are too low to be of any importance to the Brazilian government, they just want Elon to follow the law.

Or do you believe a company should have the power to be above the law in a jurisdiction they operate in?
Look up Charlemagne Paradox and ship of Theseus to see that it's merely a name that survived, and maybe some old techniques.
Yep. And while that’s not something I’d call a mistake per se, it can be troublesome. What if a crate you depend on at different versions provides access to global state? What if a transitive embeds definitions from that crate into public contracts consumed by code using a different version?

Rust offers mitigations or means of detection for those cases, but they still require thought and troubleshooting when they occur. Given Python’s lack of static typing and more-likely-to-be-nonexpert user base and usage patterns, I suspect that troublesomeness would not be a value-add for the Python platform.
me either, doesn't help me at all generally. i do find that going out for (non strenous) walks in parks and nice places helps though, so i wonder if it's more to do with the environment than the exercise. working out at home or going to a dark, dingy gym is hardly going to make anyone feel better imo. i wonder if the people who find success with exercising are jogging outside and don't live in a shithole?
