The Reality Ouroboro
For example, it the core field of innovation is biotech, there will be unexpected needs in downstream and upstream fields like medical tooling, biosensors, carbon capture and novel materials. Internet blossomed into a thousand businesses, I expect the same thing to happen again - we gain new capabilities, they open up demand for new products, so we get new markets and industries. Desires always fill up the existing capability space like a gas fills a room.
People often screw around over the piano keyboard, usually an octave or so about middle C until an idea occurs. Brahms likened this to a pair of hands combing over a garbage dump.

I think a creative person has no trouble generating interesting ideas without roving over the proverbial garbage heap. The hard (and artistic) part is developing those ideas into an interesting work.
That is good reason to not use "rent" because it is already used in industry for short fixed-term rental.
Ok, but that usecase is very exceptional.
As stated in the article, that flag is only flipped while the alarm is going off. Also the feature in general is opt-in, and you have to be approved by apple for that feature.

Of course it is. Joining a currency union carries costs.

Broadly speaking, you're correct: the term has ambiguous meaning. My point is that isn't something new, but an element that has always been with the term.
The entire thread is about how the benefit of these tools are not worth the hassle of copying the binaries around because everyone can't just install or modify the servers.

You keep modifying the argument for some sort of moral win I guess, devolving into name calling when people just don't agree with your position. Very professional of you.

Regardless, I presume you're just having a bad day. I hope it goes better for you and you can find some peace and calm down.
> It has gotten so bad that I, for one, immediately reject a proposal when it is clear that it was written by or with the help of AI, no matter how interesting the topic is or how good of a talk you will be able to deliver in person.

I am sympathetic to the sentiment, and yet worry about someone making impactful decisions based on their own perception of whether AI was used. Such perceptions have been demonstrated many times recently to be highly faulty.

Not only are there billions of dollars wasted, there are many, many lives wasted. If the billions had gone in a direction that was actually promising, maybe there would be treatments that would have saved millions of person-years of quality lifetime. This person is basically a mass-murderer.
It's a balancing act. We limit <some thing> if the damage to society caused by it is greater than <some amount>. With the caveat that getting those limits put in place can be complicated, given the influence of money on political will.

- We limit drinking by minors

- We limit smoking to outdoor areas

- We limit driving over certain speeds

We limit many, many things that an individual can do based on how they impact society as a whole. We even limit some things an individual can do that have no impact on society (but I disagree with this completely).

That is how societies work.
That is why I need lawyer money.

This is trying to displace responsibility for fossil fuel extraction to some remote place with different incentives. Climate activists like Just Stop Oil are concerned with the policy choices, lobbying, subsidies, infrastructure, and overconsumption of fossil fuels in the developed countries where they live. Demanding those change is a valid political position.
Agree. The fact that we are seeing this kind of discourse within the scientific community is in my opinion a great argument for the scientific method.
I was thinking about it: If I come across someone seriously injured, try to help them, and accidentally hurt them, I'm protected (in many places) by Good Samaritan laws.

But if a health care professional does the same thing, and does something negligent, then they are usually liable. They are professionals and are held to a different standard. Similarly, that's why lawyers keep writing: this is not legal advice and you are not my client.

Perhaps a professional in science should have higher standards. Obviously they shouldn't be sued for being wrong - that would destroy science, disregard the scientific method's means to address inaccuracy, and go against science's nature as the means to develop new knowledge. But intentionally deceiving people perhaps should be illegal and/or create liability: When you publish something, people depend on its fundamental honesty and will act on it.
Obsidian founder accuses Notion in branding dispute
I've been saying this for years and have been punished for that. Even here.

I've done Biology and CS for almost 20 years now, I've worked at four of the top ten research institutions in the world. The ratio of honest to bullshit academics is alarmingly low.

Most of these people should be in jail. Not only do they commit academic fraud, many of them commit other types of crimes as well. When I was a PhD student, my 4 year old daughter was kidnapped by staff at KAUST. Mental and physical abuse is quite common and somewhat "accepted" in these institutions. Sexual harassment and sexual abuse is through the roof.

I am very glad that, slowly, these things are starting to vent out. This is one real swamp that needs to be drained.

Some smartass could come up and say "where is your evidence for this?". This is what allows this abhorrent behavior to thrive. Do you think these people are not smart enough to commit these crimes in covert ways? The reason why they do it is because they know no one will find out and they will get away with it.

What's the solution? I've thought about this a lot, a lot. I think a combination of policies and transparency could go a long way.

Because of what they did to me, I am fully committed to completely destroy and expunge people who do these things from academia. If you, for whatever reason, would like to help me on this mission, shoot me an email, there's a few ideas already taking shape towards that goal.

Thanks. Somehow I missed that it is only enabled while the alarm is going off. I did see that it was opt-in and needed approval. But then I was worried about opting in.
Eh, not bad. Don’t believe everything you read online.
I think the difference is that in the days of the nascent internet, connecting with people meant much more than it does now. You dial into a BBS or log into a MUD and you have a small-ish community of real people that you can develop relationships with. Modern internet connectivity almost means the opposite: all the major services are oriented toward moneymaking, nothing is genuine, there is no sincerity, most behavior is motivated by accumulation of worthless social capital.

So, the society that you craved connection with no longer exists now that you are able to connect. This is another thing that, seemingly, has to be rebuilt from the ground up locally.

Brain Structure Linked to Political Ideology
An analogy I've heard in the past is that emotions are like a button fixed in a box with a ball in it. When you're younger the box is smaller so the ball hits the buttons more often as there is less free space. As you grow, your box grows too, so your ball has more space in the box and more empty space on the walls for the ball the bounce off of, making the buttons less likely to be pushed.
Look up the word 'plurality'. If you have 3 groups sized 40%, 30%, and 30%, the largest one is the 40% group, even though that is still a minority of the total. You're welcome.

Vices are very different than murder and the fact that people equate the two is how we get things like prohibition and the war on drugs. Lots of studies have shown that legalizing drug use does not appreciatively increase drug use, for instance.

It’s hard to make an argument that making murder illegal was a net harm to society. It’s really easy to make that argument with vices, in fact any history book probably will in the section on prohibition.

Sports betting is not any more insidious than any other type of gambling. Even if legalizing it has increased the amount of sports betting, which likely it has, we don’t know that it has increased the overall amount of gambling, and we certainly don’t know that it has increased the overall amount of societal harm from gambling, no matter how many great anecdotes we get from newspaper articles.

Perhaps people have simply switched from the lottery or slot machines to sports betting. Perhaps some are better off because sports betting has a much lower house edge than the lottery or a lot of other forms of gambling.

I could tell you for sure there is a whole lot of illegal sports betting going on, or at least there was. There is a seedy black market that I would be willing to bet has been largely destroyed by the ability to Gamble from your phone. (I’m far too removed from it these days to have any firsthand knowledge of the current situation.)

I can also tell you about the negative impact that gambling laws have on the lives of non-problem gamblers, myself included.

People always reflexively follow the train of logic: vice bad, make vice illegal. It failed when we made alcohol illegal, the war on drugs has been disastrous for the poor, far worse than the drugs we were fighting, and there’s not much evidence to believe it even significantly reduced drug use. The idea that any vice being illegal creates an overall harm reduction has pretty much been shown time and time again to be incorrect, and yet everybody just believes it because it seems like common sense.

I've never implemented something like this. But my first thought is "how do you implement the testing system?"

I feel like once you had a robust testing system that can verify things work correctly in all the different network partition and other scenarios, and allowing rapid iteration of setting up those scenarios, the implementation would be comparatively easy.

Hah I find the same thing about Haskell. People are a bit less charitable about Haskell's quirks though I find..

The place I work definitely has a culture of whining :P
True, but also sealing the leak is only putting a bandaid over the problem. The hull is still going to fail eventually.

A better fix would be (believe it or not) drilling holes in it, then sealing it over. This "stop drilling" prevents the crack from growing any larger.

Apparently it's pretty easy to do on those other platforms. For Mac:

Using BetterTouchTool:

Install BetterTouchTool from bettertouchtool.net. Open BetterTouchTool and go to the “Keyboard” section. Add a new keyboard shortcut, for example, Ctrl + CapsLock. Set the action to "Insert/Paste Custom Text." Enter your custom message:

I need you to give me ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE revised code without ANY placeholders that preserves ALL existing functionality!

For BetterTouchTool, there's an option in the app to start at login.

Using Hammerspoon:

Install Hammerspoon from hammerspoon.org. Create a configuration file (~/.hammerspoon/init.lua) with this content:

hs.hotkey.bind({"ctrl"}, "capslock", function()
hs.eventtap.keyStrokes("I need you to give me ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE revised code without ANY placeholders that preserves ALL existing functionality!")
end)

Reload Hammerspoon by clicking on its menu icon and choosing "Reload Config."

For Hammerspoon, you can add it to "Login Items" in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items.
There would still be incentives for collusion (I "reproduce" your research, you "reproduce" mine), and researchers pretending to reproduce papers but actually not bothering (especially if they believe that the original research was done properly).

Ultimately, I'm not sure how to incentivize reproduction of research: it's very easy to fake a successful reproduction (you already know the results, and the original researcher will not challenge you), so you don't want to reward that too much. Whereas incentivizing failed reproductions might lead some scientists to sabotage their own reproduction efforts in ways that are subtle enough to have plausible deniability.

Proceeding by pairs is probably not enough. You probably need 5-6 replications per paper to make sure that at least one attempt is honest and competent, and make the others afraid to do the wrong thing and stand out.

How do you know that? Can you prove it scientifically?

In that case, they are not "backed up"

They're definitely better freshly made, either at home or a nicer restaurant that makes them to-order. Make sure you buy the correct kind of rice or they won't shape properly.

But the premade ones are a very easy grab-n-go food. It's like how a homemade burger will always beat a McDonald's burger. But there's times and places where you want a burger but aren't able to stop and cook one up yourself.
in that case, the effect was hypothesized, later observed and understood.

What you can do is separate interpretation from observation as much as possible.
What is a general definition of “evil” that one could derive this from? And how does this relate to the actual reasons why someone would inflect physical pain? Are soldiers in a war evil when they happen to inflict physical pain outside of self defense? Or is that another “common-sense” exception?

The concept is emotionally laden and ill-defined, and has little relation to why the designated behaviors actually happen. It’s an incoherent concept that has no explanatory power.

You know how: it makes people talk about an issue they would otherwise prefer to ignore. The fact that some people's first instinct is to reject them (using weasel words like 'bonkers') is beside the point. The use of repetition and attention-grabbing techniques to drive an argument home is a well-established PR and political communication tactic.
But if nearly everyone else is saying this has real value to them and it's produced meaningful code way beyond what's in SO, then doesn't that just mean your experience isn't representative of the overall value of LLMs?
I think they have some incredibly low pricing for what most small companies need. I also think they've done a very good job of carving out pieces that more sophisticated setups need into the enterprise tier, which does constitute a big jump.

One that bit me was https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-for-platforms/c... - we found an alternative solution that didn't require upgrading to their enterprise plan (yet), but it was a pretty compelling reason to upgrade and if I was doing it again I'd probably choose upgrading over implementing our solution. On balance I'm not sure we actually saved money in the end, considering opportunity cost
The map actually shows urban centers which probably provide more opportunities for employees, and thus less of a need to "work hard": I am pretty sure it inversely correlates with employer "power".

So from that perspective, it's a positive.
That is like saying my insurance company has to follow me around for a week while I drive before they can underwrite a policy. If there is money to be made, and money to be lost, the actuaries will find a way.

The problem could be, that it may become impossible to publish certain kinds of papers that are very well supported and valuable because no institution can afford the insurance.
It's a matter of how established the science actually is.

Questioning novel science is one thing but questioning if the Earth is flat or Germ Theory is another thing all together. The problem with skeptics is that they sometimes hang around conspiracists.

It's hard to not discount these people when the person next to them thinks black people are biologically inferior. Then when those skeptics don't distance themselves or don't explicitly condemn those bad actors, it brings to question if their positions are born of skepticism or some strange prejudice, and that they merely constructed the cover of skepticism to hide their strange prejudices.

For example, during the Covid pandemic there was a lot of questioning around masks. In hindsight, the answer is obvious: it doesn't really matter if masks were or were not effective, because they're essentially free to wear. Even in the worst case, nobody is actually hurt.

But there were many, maybe millions, of mask deniers who would simply refuse to wear them. They were doing this because of institutional distrust and political motivations, not because they truly believed the masks were dangerous. And this is the trouble: these people are skeptics, but they're skeptics with an end-goal of political destabilization, i.e. they're dangerous.

When you mix it all together, which people often do to themselves, it's discredits the very thought process.
Callng someone "evil" isn't meant to have some explanatory power. It's merely a label saying that they are, well, evil.
They mostly just avoid the countries where they could get arrested in my experience.
How do you write a testing framework/system for evaluating distributed algorithms like this?

He was talking about civil liability. The concept you’ve tripped over here is called intervening superseding causes and the criminal only destroys the tortfeasor’s liability if his intervening criminal cause is unforeseeable.

Here, because the entire purpose of car immobilizers is theft protection, the thief is foreseeable and his crime does not supersede.

I’m a little troubled by your use of the word “asinine” in this context.
There are some downsides but also huge upsides aside from not wasting energy, for example offering very fast finality.

Bitcoin has not moved to it, because arguably the new system would not be Bitcoin any more. It's a coordination problem where you have to get most users (including centralized exchanges) to stop following the PoW chain and start respecting the PoS chain, but they will only do that if they believe everybody else will. Ethereum was able to pull that off because Ethereum foundation and Vitalik (its creator) announcing and implementing, and practicing the switch many times, has a lot of weight. (And then still, some miners remained, but that chain is now known by a different name and not generally known as "Ethereum".) Bitcoin is a lot less coordinated in that sense, even less invasive changes to the protocol are difficult to pull off.
Yeah, you kind of can’t test any of it until you test all of it…
Sure, if you're taking on risk then that seems like it could be a fair arrangement - and then perhaps there's a requirement of putting some of the potential debt you're promising to cover to be held in escrow.
