I think that novel writing and reviews are types of writing where potentially AI should eventually surpass human writers, because they have the potential to replace content skillfully tailored to be liked by many people with content that's tailored (perhaps less skillfully) explicitly for a specific very, very, very narrow niche of exactly you and all the things that happen to work for your particular biases.

There seems to be an upcoming wave of adult content products (once again, being on the bleeding edge users of new abilities) based on this principle, as hitting very specific niches/kinks/fetishes can be quite effective in that business, but it should then move on to romance novels and pulp fiction and then, over time, most other genres.

Similarly, good pedagogy, curriculum design and educational content development is all about accurately modeling which exact bits of the content the target audience will/won't know, and explaining the gaps with analogies and context that will work for them (for example, when adapting a textbook for a different country, translation is not sufficient; you'd also need to adapt the content). In that regard, if AI models can make personalized technical writing, then that can be more effective than the best technical writing the most skilled person can make addressed to a broader audience.
I’m sure they have considered this and/or doing it already but you’d only need a small centrifuge to simulate gravity for an experiment.
You post problems in addition to COVID and Inflation but you barely scratch the surface. No Child Left Behind, School vouchers, defunding public colleges, the list goes on and on and on as to how we’ve been chipping away at education.
The only thing I can think of that would disprove EMH would be an arbitrage opportunity that doesn’t go away by using it. If you can arbitrage continuously and without limit and the difference you’re arbitraging isn’t decreasing, that would contradict EMH. Since that’s pretty much the only claim of EMH, multiplying your money by taking high risks doesn’t really contradict it.

Exactly. In fact, all things in the universe are subjective except exactly one thing, which is that all other things are subjective. This is epistemological monism, and it's the only coherent view.

> But if there is separate funding for replication studies, it will become something people compete for.

It would need to be very good funding on par with what's offered for "novel research".

In addition, we would need increased prestige (e.g. awards, citations) for replicated studies as well for this to be effective. For many academics funding is merely a means to that end.

Actually I would be interested to see an official confirmation by Intel that they indeed still use Minix, and which version of it. So far all such claims I'm aware of came from third parties.
Replications don't frequently get published but they do get attempted, because any decent researcher is going to replicate a result they rely on to build the next step. Unfortunately, you can get stuck in the mud as I did and be unable to replicate the prior findings. Is it technique or were the original results in error? We'll never know.

Building more results without replications is what caused the psychology crisis. Apparently every lab accepted the p<0.05 results or stated correlations of prior studies and just ran more studies until they got their own that was publishable. Since everyone "knew" that the prior result was true, like priming or whatever, they could conclude anything they wanted, because ex absurdum quodlibet.

I would rather die than deliberately cause a humongous speed bump in the history of human understanding of the universe like this guy did. And the choice is never that stark. It's usually "id rather work in a less highly paid role".

To selfishly discard the collective attention of scientific experts for undue gain is despicable and should disqualify a person from all professional status indefinitely in addition to any legal charges.

I deeply respect anyone whose desires align with winning the collective game of understanding that science should be. I respect even more those folks who speak up when their colleagues or even friends seek to hack academia like this guy did.

That's a tunable in ZFS.

vfs.zfs.txg.timeout defaults to 5 seconds, but it can be set (much) higher if you wish.

I don't care if I lose up to a minute or two of work instead of <=5 seconds in the face of an unplanned failure, so I set it to a couple of minutes on my desktop rig years ago and never looked back.

AFAIK there's also no harm in setting it both dynamically and randomly. I haven't tried it, but periodically setting vfs.zfs.txg.timeout to a random value between [say] 60 and 240 seconds should go a long ways towards making it easier to ignore by breaking up the regularity.

This is my go-to process whenever I write anything now:

1. I use dictation software to get my thoughts out as a stream of consciousness.
2. Then, I have ChatGPT or Claude refine it into something coherent based on a prompt of what I'm aiming for.
3. Finally, I review the result and make edits where needed to ensure it matches what I want.

This method has easily boosted my output by 10x, and I'd argue the quality is even better than before. As a non-native English speaker, this approach helps a lot with clarity and fluency. I'm not a great writer to begin with, so the improvement is noticeable. At the end of the day, I’m just a developer—what can I say?
Good news, the EU doesn't have any jurisdiction in NYC (or anywhere else outside of the EU) so they don't have the ability to enforce anything outside of their borders, as much as they would like you to believe otherwise.

That's actually a good argument against outlawing guns. What point are you trying to make?
With Ansible you can configure anything such as nginx and certbot. That would handle assets and DNS based wild card certs among other things.

If you were feeling adventurous you could also queue up requests with nginx and a little bit of Lua scripting to achieve zero downtime deploys. That's what Basecamp did 11 years ago with: https://github.com/basecamp/intermission

In practice I find zero downtime deploys with request queuing can get tricky. For example, it's not just your web app that gets deployed. There's also your background worker and action cable process that runs in its own containers and isn't proxied with the same health check as your web container. I haven't used Kamal yet but how does it deal with your action cable process and background worker becoming healthy with v2 of your app while the web app is still serving v1 of your code or vice versa?
Exactly. “This is bad because dumb people won’t believe us.”

Not “This is bad because it undermines science, is lying, and unethical, regardless of what people think.”
I'm not sure what specific point you're making here. The question at hand is how you *know* that the WPEngine usage is trademark infringement under the law. Nothing you've provided anywhere, at any time, supports that claim.

What you've linked here are the trademark owners wishes about how their marks be used. They are perfectly reasonable, sure. But they don't supersede the doctrine of fair use. That's the important bit. Do you understand that guidelines, requests or even contracts do not superceed the law?

Both your links are titled as "guidelines". Because that's all they are. They are guidelines as how the trademark owner wishes their marks to be used. If you violate the guidelines, you may or may not be in legal trouble but that's up to a court. Not Redhat.

From your Redhat link:

>In these Guidelines, we are not trying to limit the lawful use of our trademarks, including their “fair use,” but rather describe for you what we consider the parameters of lawful use to be. Trademark law can be ambiguous, so these Guidelines are meant to inform you about what we believe are acceptable uses.

And this:

>As for why you don’t receive trademark rights when you are granted a license to code:

This is wayy out of left field. Where did I suggest such a thing? I have no confusion whatsoever about the distinction between copyright and trademark. I'm not sure why you're bringing it up.

Listen, since I claimed the use is likely covered by Nominative Fair Use you've replied four different times and not once come close to properly articulating a legal argument as why you disagree. For that reason, I'm going to bow out of this conversation now. Cheers.
AI seems really good at producing middling content, and if you make your living writing mediocre training courses, or marketing collateral, or code, or tests you're in big trouble. I question how valuable this work is though, so are we increasing productivity by utilizing AI, or just getting efficient at a suboptimal game? I for one just refuse to play.

Could private school vouchers and magnet schools fix it?

I feel like a lot of problems with teaching is due to overregulation from department of education and increasing scope bloat of their responsibilities.

Just stick to mass daycare with curriculum model and allow free competition from private sector and it should be fine.

The best compensated teachers are the ones that achieve results: train champions and elevate students to their highest potential.

A Sonos speaker isn’t my computer though. This program only does one thing. Turn down Sonos speakers. Why would I want to know that worked?

Notifications should be actionable.

“The Sonos speaker is too loud” is a sort-of helpful message. I can infer the action.

Better is “the Sonos speaker is too loud, you should turn it down”.

Even better is “the Sonos speaker is too loud, click here to go to the volume settings”.

And better yet is “the Sonos speaker is too loud, should I turn it down?”

But best is the program just doing it and shutting up about it.

And best of all is just setting the volume limit on the speaker: https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/setting-a-volume-lim....

It is field dependent but I'm not entirely against what the parent said. I work in ML and I am positive that all this is going on[0]. There's lots of true believers though and that's what makes things extra hard. Sometimes the fraudsters take over by making the system become incompetent and everyone is in good company. In this was fraud isn't committed with intent, weirdly enough.

Just look at all the ML reasoning papers. Wither you believe LLMs reason or not, an important factor you have to disentangle when trying to prove this is what data the models were trained on. To distinguish memorization from reasoning. You won't find this analysis because it's almost impossible given that the data is a trade secret, even by Meta.

This year at ACL a paper (mission impossible language models) won best poste paper despite their results running contrary to their claim, and very obviously so too.

Or there is the HumanEval paper which proposed that they created a data set which was not spoiled because they "hand wrote" over a hundred "Leetcode style problems". 60 authors and they didn't bother to check... But why would you check when the questions are things like "calculate the mean". What fucking programmer thinks there isn't python code on GitHub pre 2021 that: calculates the mean, takes the floor, checks if a string is a palindrome, calculates greatest common devisor, or any similar question. How did this become an influential dataset‽

[0] the big reason I'm upset is because I love the field. I'm not in it for money. I'm in it because I grew up on Asimov books and because I want our community to work towards AGI.

I don't think I wrote FPV, one way attack or kamikaze drone although I can understand why you interpreted it that way that I wrote home built (this was a mistake on my side, I was thinking about the commercial drones they use) and expendable (this doesn't mean attack drones, only that it is cheap enough that one doesn't hesitate too long to use it and don't try to recover it).

These surveillance drones can absolutely be used at the squad level.

People still work in literal coal mines, and their pay is still < $31/hour.

This discussion is about an effect at the margins. The marginal nurse that decides to quit, the low-seniority teacher that is paid less than their peers for the same work.

When the canary dies in a coal mine, everyone is in danger. But when working conditions worsen, only those employees at the margins (close to retirement, low seniority, worse than average assignment) will leave.

The question is whether there is some exponential effect on service from decreasing kitchen/nursing/teaching staff. Those fields all look like they have linear degradation of service to me.

Although AFAIK Android's implementation then means that you can end up with duplicate entries for the same file if you open it through differing means (like both through an external file manager as well as within the app's own UI), because those result in distinct content URIs and there are no official APIs that would allow you to confirm whether two separate content URIs are actually pointing to the same file (where that'd make sense, e.g. for files on the local file system at least [1]).

Because the amount of pencil-whipped "peer review" feedback I've received could fit in a shoe box, because many "reviewers" are looking for the CV credit for their role and not so much the actual effort of reviewing.

And there's no way to call them out on their laziness except maybe to not submit to their publication again and warn others against it too.

And, to defend their lack of review, all they need to say to the editor anyway is: "I didn't see it that way."
