> I feel like those calling the shots at Microsoft realised it's no longer an optional component or that security is merely a marketing story

I dunno, if a company has for more than two decades (2002: https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/gates-security-is-to...) said that security is the top priority, and they keep re-iterating that every now and then (2024: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2024/05/03/prioritizing-sec...), yet they still don't actually seem to act like it, I'm pretty sure they still see it as an optional component/marketing story.

(The source for both AM and Eurisko were discovered at the same time.)

I was reading through the source code for both (and the Interlisp manual, but mostly Eurisko) earlier this year and found it quite inspiring. Some of the most meta(-meta-heuristic search) code ever written! Now I'm working on a similar project and am looking for parts of AM's and Eurisko's algorithms which I can incorporate! I'll write something up if I have any success.

Eurisko is far more abstract than AM, but the data structures (structures with named 'slots' (members)) it uses makes the code vastly more readable (AM is pretty damn unreadable despite plenty of comments). Lenat himself said the better representations are what made Eurisko possible, unsurprisingly. If you do want to understand the implementation of AM in incredible detail you can read Lenat's PhD thesis. No detailed documentation of Eurisko exists. Also, both programs contain lots of code to print out what the system is currently doing, which is incredibly helpful for deciphering the code.
The discovery of the photoelectric effect was certainly as important as relativity in terms of how much it affects society. But it was only an incremental advanced on top of Planck work on blackbody radiation.

I'm not saying that photoelectric effect didn't deserve a Nobel Prize. But relativity completely supplanted Newtonian Physics, and Einstein played a much greater role in this revolution than he did in that of Quantum Mechanics.

Also, I believe historical records have made it clear that relativity, even if it was still considered controversial in the '20s (and so not mentioned specifically), was indeed part of the reason he was awarded the prize.

Also, consider WHY it was still controversial, despite evidence piling up even for relativity. It was seen as such a fundamental shift away from common-sense understanding of the physical world that people refused to believe it, despite evidence.

Just like how many people to this day do not believe it's possilbe to build AI out of regular computers, as their intuition tells them that some magic vodoo needs to be there for "true" inteligence.
In this Post, you are told about such an ancient Islamic Talisman with the blessing every problem of the relationship between boys and girls will be over.
Remember that some girls become friends with boys in their youth and they want their friendship to turn into an Islamic marriage.
But sometimes, the boyfriend does not want that, which is why girls’ friendships and love relationships suddenly break.
Breaking up with a boyfriend causes a lot of pain for girls and due to this, girls suffer from severe depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
So, if you have a boyfriend and he has ended the relationship of friendship and love with you, then this “Relationship can be reconnected with the help of the “Relationship Talisman (Divine Amulet)”.

Given that drugs take around 10 years to get to market, and that some time is needed for industrial adoption as well, it's not very reasonable to expect clinically approved drugs before a few years.
People who have them are more likely to have other disturbances. One of the few things I recall clearly from embryology in med school is that any disturbance of the midline and sided structures of the body often reflects some abnormal development: there's rarely only one (e.g., if their brain is abnormal, you had better look for cardiac abnormalities).

Left-handedness is unusual, but not per se pathologic. There is a running joke among neurologists that the average neurologist is a left-handed person with migraines. They aren't all, of course, but if you had chronic headaches and were left-handed, wouldn't that predispose you to pursuing a specialty where you try to figure out what's going on in brains? I majored in chemistry; it's not a huge stretch to imagine why I became an anesthesiologist. It's interesting, and it makes some intuitive sense. We tend to be more of the "analyst" personality; former engineers and accountants are not rare in anesthesia.

It's definitely impressive. However, natural gas outages do happen. For example Winter Storm Uri in Texas led to gas outages.

Sadly, the outages and possible the loss of life connected to it could have been prevented if the gas companies hadn't fought back against stricter weatherization rules[^0].

> they made recommendations to the Railroad Commission to implement weatherization rules on the natural gas supply chain because there had been water coming up from the formations — it's called produced water, it's naturally occurring — and it was freezing at the top of the wellheads and restricting gas flow both at the wellheads and in pipelines.

And yes, the Railroad Commission is not in charge of trains, but oil and gas in Texas.

> Valuation is down 75%.

Many companies' valuations could just be over-inflated (dumb example: the dot-com bubble).

If you ask me, most of FAANGs (and other F500) valuations are over-inflated.
> The nature of scientific work has changed significantly since 1895, when the Nobel Prizes were established. 100 years ago, lots of scientific work really were driven forward largely by a singular person. That's rarely true today for groundbreaking research.

The question is: is this a necessity for doing good science today, or rather an artifact of how important research is organized today (i.e. an artifact of the bureacratic and organizational structure that you have to "accept"/"tolerate" if you want to do want to have a career in science)?

Still seeing new auth companies joining the party, whether they are focusing on SSO, customer identity and access management, or authorization. Most are open source, some are SaaS.

As someone else mentioned downstream, IaC is still happening and getting pushed further and further. Whether you are talking about the more standard TF/OpenTofu IaC or some of the newer declarative environment options (I've chatted with the nitric folks), defining infrastructure as software gives you so much power that it seems to be unstoppable.
I don't think that's the actual reason, even for teaching music. The primary voice is in the right hand because the right hand is higher and so the waves it generates have higher energy at the same volume, making it the easiest voice to hear. I assume that in arrangements and pop music, the arranger naturally puts the melody on top and fills in as much harmony as they care to (which is usually not a lot unless you pay for the arrangement).
You advocate for really simple application layer, while having that on top of all the other complex communication layers. Implementations had multiple known vulnerabilities over the years. In case of vulnerability an attacker might be able to do much more damages with real-time access. Is it any safer than an USB stick?

`rsync` should have something like `.nosync` akin to `.nomedia`, and the directory should be added explicitly if one wants it to be synced. Or something like a `--profile` option where `.nosync` then can contain an allow/disallow filter for profiles.

I have the same issue with the scripts which trigger `rsync` getting confusingly complex because of all the include/exclude arguments.

For some reason this quote by Carmack stands out for me:

I'm not the audience for this topic, I do javascript from a designer-dev perspective. But I get in the weeds sometimes, maxing out my abilities and bogged down by conditional logic. I like his quote it feels liberating... "just send it all for processing and cherry-pick the results". Lightbulb moment.

Even if the destination device were to write something to said discs, the optical media are cheap enough that it makes sense to destroy them (or archive them in case they become useful for forensic purposes) rather than reusing them.

Plus, compared to a USB form factor, one imagines it’s harder to sneak in circuitry that could retransmit data by unexpected means.
Yea but it’s coupled with an incredibly leaky distribution system.

It would be so great to regulate fixing that instead of getting rid of it entirely.
Okay, so what's your solution? People don't use search engines because they have ads; they use them for another reason. Can you compete with that reason?
Dawkins is not an original researcher. He is wonderful at synthesizing research and writing eloquent popular books.

The importance of The Selfish Gene is to write a correct summary of the neo-Darwinian project. In the future (perhaps even now), it will be more famous for the coining of meme (in an appendix IIRC).

However, The Extended Phenotype is a remarkably original exposition of important (then) contemporary frontiers of Darwinism. It is a powerful idea, powerfully described.

It is certainly his most important original contribution to the literature. And a beautiful book. True and convincing. It will change your view of the world. There is no higher praise.

I don’t think so. It’s astonishing that segregation laws in America ended in the mid-1960s, just a few years before Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. Other countries, including some with fewer economic resources, abolished segregation much earlier. Although formal segregation laws are gone, racism in America persists, as reflected in ongoing disparities and public perceptions [1].

While these are reasonable approaches, I do not think they live up to the mathematical meaning of "independent", and so invalidate the chances calculation.

Your two teams might well both use in some place in the system the same hardware or software component. This will make the probability of failure between the systems not be completely independent, for all that you paid two teams and they worked separately. Spent a lot of money, and the results will not be as expected. If they both use x86 Intel, and a Meltdown kind of thing happens, your "independent" systems will both fail from the same cause.

The transport analogy works great if you somehow imagine the transportation to be instantaneous, and only the decision to matter. But if you are already on a train and the train is delayed, you are not walking back home and taking the car. You have multiple options for transport, but you do not have a system built of independent components. You are not using the train and the car and the highway and the local roads all simultaneously.

I don't think you understand the requirements for the formula you wrote to be valid. Your examples do not fit, for all that they are reasonable and useful approaches. Your actual reliability with these approaches falls way below the multiple nines you think of.
I don't work for TikTok or any other social media company or for any company running on ad platform or for any news company trying to garner clicks.

You call my argument reductionist while grossly oversimplifying the concept of "dopamine hijacking."

I think it's a shame that your values are such that you place feeding children below worrying about TikTok. That is what I think the problem actually is: ignoring the core problem facing children and getting caught up in this feel-good BS that you're helping "the children" while not doing the hard work of actually helping the children.
That was the original plan, then they created their Rust inspired language instead.

That claim seems the more intuitive understanding - if candidates are judged entirely by capability and fit for a role, then background wouldn't factor in. If diversity tips the scales toward a candidate that would have been otherwise passed over then ability is no longer the highest priority. If this understanding is flawed, could you explain how?

Also, a contributing factor to gas compressor station outages in Texas during Winter Storm Uri was ERCOT (Texas' electric grid operator) load shedding without knowing they were shedding gas compressor loads. This led to reduced gas supply available for generation.

> When load is being shed involuntarily, customers designated as “critical load” can be exempted. Critical
load is typically demand from entities, such as hospitals, for whom a power interruption could be
extremely costly. To be deemed as critical, the customer must first file paperwork. The winter storm
revealed that certain parts of the natural gas supply chain – such as natural gas compressor stations –
were not designated as critical load. In consequence, their power was cut, thereby reducing flows of
natural gas along the state’s pipeline network and contributing to partial and complete derates at
multiple natural gas power generation units. The loss of their output in turn necessitated further load
shedding, potentially creating an unstable feedback loop. This represented a single point of failure in
the energy supply system.

I would love to see an AI which could automatically identify computer motherboards from pictures; that idea could then be extended to automatically identify any circuit board, any IC's that are on that board, etc., etc., by an image, a photograph of the circuit board alone.

Paired with something like the URL for the manual/documentation at the manufacturer's website and/or the Wayback machine (if the manufacturer is defunct and their website no longer exists), and something like Octopart (for ordering replacement components), it could have a lot of applications...

Sort of like the digital equivalent of an AI "what plant/flower/shrub/fruit/fungi is this?" for the natural world, but for man-made electronic boards and sub-components...
Even without grinding your own mirrors, a lot of thought can go into the sensor, telescope, tripod and tracker, filter selection, exposure times, etc. Some of that transfers, some doesn't. Not to mentions the hardships like lugging all your stuff to the nearest desert and staying up checking on your shots and swapping filters. Necessary? Maybe not. A point of potential pride? Maybe.

Also I do happen to know at least one guy who grinds his own stuff. Legend.
The problem is there is rarely a clear interface for your subunit. As such you will want to refactor that interface in ways that break tests in the future. If you are writing another string you can probably come up with a good interface and then write good tests that won't make refactoring hard - but string should be a solved problem for most of us (unless you are writing a new programming language) and instead we are working on problems that are not as clear and only our competitors work on so we can't even learn from others.
Mentioning the blind as evidence that there is no pre-training based on vision is broken in my opinion.

It could very well be that humans do multimodal pretraining (including vision), landing babies with a pre-trained brains that works even without vision.

A machine implementation of this is pre-training a self-driving car on vision + lidar then doing real-time inference on vision only.

Beware that backend has plenty of those declarative frameworks also... Kubernetes, terraform, most CI environments, CMake. (I'd add SQL but since it's the only one that doesn't drive me crazy, I don't like to think of it as declarative)

I don't know FE development enough to speak on it but I agree with your sentiment in general. When I see "declarative," I think "learn by memorization and trial and error rather than reason and intuition."
I'm not saying that at all. But I also notice that TV is controlled by American media companies while TikTok is controlled by a Chinese company.

No you can't, because you will need to rewrite all shaders anyway, unless already using the approach to use something else to generate WGSL.

It isn't because of fun that most Web 3D frameworks like Threejs, Babylonjs and PlayCanvas provide their own shading abstractions, three shading languages to target now.
