This is my entire quote:

>> We basically have no idea how to create a test for intelligence that computers cannot beat by brute force or big data approaches so we have no effective way to test computers for (artificial) intelligence.

When I say "brute force" I mean an exhaustive search of some large search space, in real time, not in evolutionary time. For example, searching a very large database for an answer, rather than computing the answer. But, as usual, I don't understand the point you're trying to make and where the bit about evolution came from. Can you clarify?

Btw, three requests, so we can have a productive conversation with as little time wasted in misunderstandings as possible:

a) Don't Fisk me (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fisking).

b) Don't quote my words out of context.

c) If you don't understand why I say something, just ask.
>scrum elevates them from total failure to unproductive but fumbling in a good direction.

Where's the evidence for this? I kind of agree on big corporate not being able to achieve great development speed. But they had a system before scrum, and I've yet to see scrum not completely destroying every metric of development achievement, whether it's throughput, latency or iteration speed.
Drama is as much a state of mind as it is something which requires blocks of time. And younger folks are often amazing multi-taskers...at least at the functionality level needed to do drama.

And online, those who have cut back on (or are slacking off at) work, relationships, etc. are probably over-represented.

(Yes, their wanting to drama I really don't get. But I'm an old geezer, so...)
The top secret stealth formula they could possibly be privy to is not publicly traded.

Funny thing about American meddling is that it always comes back to bite the US in the ass. The War of Terror has cost $8 trillion and there's nothing tangible and lasting the US has to show for it. Groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS (esp. their networks across Libya, Iraq, etc.) are offshoots of American meddling in the region, growing healthily despite everything.

Afghanistan, Vietnam, Iran (now a rabid enemy), Iraq, Syria, and Libya, are all failures of that World Police ethos that the US refuses to disengage from.

Precedence is a property of notation and operators, not a property of operations. The ^ notation for exponentiation is fundamentally different from the common superscript notation, and so it is only natural that it has different precedence rule. The biggest difference is in how exponent expressions are handled, of course: in math notation, the entire expression is written in superscript and no parantheses are needed; in computer notation, you always need parantheses around the exponent expression.

I assumed that everybody did this when trying to solve a maths problem they are stuck on (thinking university type level maths rather than school maths) and when I was teaching I would always get people to go back to the definitions.

I wasn't amazing at maths research (did a PhD and post-doc and then gave up) but my experience was that it was partly thinking hard about things and grappling with what was going on and trying to break it down somehow, but also scanning everything you know related to the problem, trying to find other problems that resemble it in some way that you can steal ideas from etc.

> accepted admission to the department that gave me the best aid offer, not necessarily the one with the best reputation.

That's a personal choice, but it's an obvious tradeoff with downsides. If you have a non-monetary goal — after all, pursuing a PhD in the humanities would be a crazy way to make money — then why would you let money stand in your way?

> They were right, and I never paid a dime for my education.

They were right in what sense? You could also never pay a dime for your education by never pursuing a PhD. Regardless, you spent valuable years of your life on it. That's a big investment, and time is more precious than money.

I am glad that you admitted, though, that some more prestigious schools may have less financial aid. There appeared to be a kind of denial of this reality before.

> Keep increasing fossil fuel taxes until the target amount of carbon emissions is achieved. The consumption that goes away is what was “destroying the world”.

You haven't arrived here by any reasoning, you're just working back from the outcome you want. I.e., you want to define "unnecessary emissions" or "least expensive to cut emissions" as what is destroying the world. But if carbon pollution is destroying the world, then any carbon pollution causes basically the same damage to the world as any other. That's the climate and environmental science. When you bring economics into it you're bringing in arbitrary wants, desires, what people inherited at birth, etc., that has nothing to do with the impact to the world of additional carbon in the atmosphere.

Here's a concrete counter-example. If you raise carbon price, virtuous billionaires and politicians will continue to fly their private jets to climate conferences while more people starve from increased food costs. That doesn't mean the meagre eating habits of those now deceased poor people was what was destroying the world rather than the exorbitant consumption by the ruling class that could have been a zoom meeting. In fact both were equally contributing (ton for ton) because the climate doesn't care where the CO2 came from, if it was ethical or economical or necessary or fair or anything else. Either the carbon is emitted into the atmosphere, or it isn't.

> And this is why efforts to curb emissions and other pollution is hopeless.

I think it's only hopeless so long as those pushing it are massive hypocrites. Nobody likes a hypocrite. Nobody likes injustice.

This is one of the worst takes I've ever heard. People like you are the reason code breaks and kills people (or destroys property, etc.). Do you also refuse to use calculators, under the pretense of being too experienced, and as such calculating the square roots of four-digit numbers by hand?
Worth pointing out that what you outline here is not an actual nested object (in the sense of using the nested mapping) but simply field flattening. Nested is a specific thing in opensearch intended to work with lists of sub documents to model one to many relation ships. It's intended to work around the limitation that opensearch does not implement any joins. One big limitation is that child documents need to have the same mapping as their parent. Another is that there's an upper limit on the number of nested documents.

Nested of course further complicates things because you need to know to use the nested query construct as well in the dsl.

So you get something like

{
"query": {
"nested": {
"path": "users",
"query": {
"bool": {
"must": [
{
"exists": {
"field": "users"
}
}
]
}
}
}
}
}

(if you map users as nested instead of object)

I'm not sure how they handle this exactly, but Elasticsearch recently added sql support in their until recently proprietary and now somewhat open source again if you can live with AGPL and contributor licenses. Their documentation is a bit light on the exists semantics but I suspect it might have similar issues. There are also some limitations on the use of nested: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr... along with a few other limitations.

Adding SQL support has been a topic for a long time. It's hard because Lucene simply is not designed to be a relational database. It's optimized for text search. So there are going to be all sorts of issues where you end up shooting yourself into the foot in terms of performance or run into things that it simply does not support at all.

Another product worth mentioning here is cratedb, which started out as a product that built ontop of Elasticsearch to add SQL support. Like Opensearch, they forked when Elastic changed the license. And since then they have changed what it does architecturally. I have no experience with their product though. So, I can't comment on the semantics.
I ended up participating and contributing to open source instead ;)
The labor market impacts of ridesharing on American Cities
That's a mistake in every statement: Excel isn't programming, so programming notation isn't even relevant

There is also no difference in the caret notation vs superscript, its upward pointing form literally meant to signify SUPERscript

It's far better that

0-3^2

-3^2

are consistent, consistency between exponent and addition makes little sense since by universal convention they have different priorities, so you'd not expect any "consistency" there
Also your -3+2 example is meaningless since its output is the same as

-((+3)+2)

so there is no inconsistency with

-9

And no, ^ doesn't universally work differently vs superscript, just in some poorly designed apps

Thanks, I know about the core knowledge priors, and François Chollet's claims about them (I've read his white paper, although it was long, and long-winded and I don't remember most of it). The empirical observation however is that none of the systems that have positive performance on ARC, on Kaggle or the new leaderboard, have anything to do with core knowledge priors. Which means core knowledge priors are not needed to solve any of the so-far solved ARC tasks.

I think Chollet is making a syllogistic error:

a) Humans have core knowledge priors and can solve ARC tasks
b) Some machine X can solve ARC tasks
c) Therefore machine X has core knowledge priors

That doesn't follow; and like I say it is refuted by empirical observations, to boot. This is particularly so for his claim that ARC "does not appear approachable" (what) by deep learning. Plenty of neural-net based systems on the ARC-AGI leaderboard.

There's also no reason to assume that core knowledge priors present any particular difficulty to computers (i.e. that they're "hard for AI"). The problem seems to be more with the ability of humans to formalise them precisely enough to be programmed into a computer. That's not a computer problem, it's a human problem. But that's common in AI. For example, we don't know how to hand-code an image classifier; but we can train very accurate ones with deep neural nets. That doesn't mean computers aren't good at image classification: they are; CNNs to the proof. It's humans who suck at coding it. Except nobody's insisting on image classification datasets with only three or four training examples for each class, so it was possible to develop those powerful deep neural net classifiers. Chollet's choice to only allow very few training examples is creating an artificial data bottleneck that does not restrict anyone in the real world so it tells us nothing about the true capabilities of deep neural nets.

Cthulhu. I never imagined I'd end up defending deep neural nets...

I have to say this: Chollet annoys me mightily. Every time I hear him speak, he makes gigantic statements about what intelligence is, and how to create it artificially, as if he knows what dozens of thousands of researchers in biology, cognitive science, psychology, neuroscience, AI, and who knows what other field, don't. That is despite the fact that he has created just as many intelligent machines as everyone else so far, which is to say: zero. Where that self-confidence comes from, I have no idea, but the results on his "AIQ test" indicate he, just like everyone else, has no clue what intelligence is, yet he persists with the absurd self-assurance. Insufferable arrogance.

Apologies for the rant.

Yet a grid scale replacement for coal/gas using NREs still failed to materialize in the last decade. NREs definitely help with decarbonizing (and pushing NREs is better than doing nothing), but for some reason countries deploying NREs never seem to retire almost all fossil fuel production from the grid.

I was less stressed when doing scrum. When a new VP came in and tossed it out, he didn’t replace it with anything. The void has been filled with chaos, where our priorities change based on who the last person to speak was. I’ll take scrum over chaos any day.
That's the unfortunate truth about PG&E rates, though that's only true because the terrible external costs of gasoline pollution are not taxed and compensated. For almost everywhere else charging at home is 1/3 the cost of gas. Superchargers are also pretty comparable to a hybrid. As home solar and batteries gets cheaper and cheaper, that's also a backstop to limit the price increases of PG&E. Sort of.
1) scrum is even more democratized than agile

2) no matter what "agile" was supposed to mean - managers anyway interpret it as devs having to be very agile for them all the time ...
I’m not sure I agree with that.

Yeah, the part where he’s talking about „his startup“ not being all in, because he wants to do consulting as a fallback. Turns out that’s a little dishonest since he has a whole agency where benched employees work on „his startups“.

In the comments he goes on to say he’s based in India and people there can’t use intercom for some reason, so that’s why „he’s building“ some knockoffs.

Way different reality from what the first half of the original post makes it seem.

I guess this is some kind of meta commentary about not trusting startup influencers. While the post has some good parts, there’s also some godawful advice sprinkled in there.

> Driving in New Delhi is an entirely different universe than driving in San Francisco

Only if you assume driving is solved as a baseline. For self-serving, "driving" is the 99% of the problem; "driving in $specificCity" is just the cherry on the cake, a small part of the problem that doesn't even need to be solved.

Keep in mind that humans are the most flexible parts of any system they're in. When human and machine negotiate, human always yields, simply because the machine cannot. With increased popularity of self-driving cars, infrastructure and social norms will adjust to eliminate technical problems and cultural idiosynchrasies that the tech can't handle. This is how it always was.

What does overpricing mean? That sounds a bit like wanting to forbid having profits (what level of relation is allowed, when is it not).

With most games with in-game currencies it’s free to play with paid cosmetics. Both the game’s price bears no relation to the production (it’s free) nor the skins’ (as they are subsidizing the free game).

I think that model is actually quite excellent (allowing people without money to still enjoy the game, while giving something to those who are happy to throw money at it, everybody being able to easily play with each other).

I am totally in favor of getting rid of in-game currencies, though. If anything, it should be like in steam, where you have an in-app wallet with a balance in your local currency.

I don’t know the details… but my dad was a rural mail carrier for awhile, and the roughness of the driving they do is difficult to understand.

Rural carriers operate their own vehicles. The wear and tear was nuts… for example we would change brake pads every 2-3 weeks.

I think USPS wants to operate vehicles for many years. I’d guess they may have determined that the regen braking or batteries for hybrid couldn’t sustain the harsh conditions within the operating cost envelope.
