I read it as a teenager, which is exactly when his stories seem most plausible and exciting.

But there was one that bugged me even at the time. He talked about an advanced biology class, in which he was unable to participate because he hadn't done any of the required reading. He castigated them for having wasted so much time on things he could look up, like anatomical diagrams.

He expected the entire class to stop while he looked up each and every word they used. They couldn't possibly make any progress under those conditions. Biology students spend a lot of time memorizing stuff so that they can have a common language. There are just a lot of different individual things inside a body.

It doesn't surprise me that a lot more of his stories have some aspect that I missed as a teenager, and don't reflect nearly as well on him in context.

I have absolutely gotten similar requests from students through my Alumni organization and have accepted them in the past. I don't see a problem here.

Here is a direct quote from a request that I have accepted in the past(redacted a little): "Hi <name>, I am a MS in CS student at <university> graduating in spring '25 and I saw your profile on <university>'s alumni page. I'm pursuing a career in software engineering and I'm wondering if we can connect and chat sometime about your career and the culture at <company>."
Interfaces aren't bit-packed and they force storing all values as a separate allocation that the interface contains a pointer to (escape analysis may allow this separate value to be on the stack, along with the interface itself). I believe that Go used to have an optimization where values that fit in a pointer were stored directly in the interface value, but abandoned it, perhaps partly because of the GC 'is it a pointer or not' issue. In my view, some of what people want union types for is exactly efficient bit-packing that uses little or no additional storage, and they'd be unhappy with a 'union values are just interface values' implementation.

In a culinary conversation nobody is trying to make the case that the chicken mcnugget is objectively superior to fresh pasta in a handmade pesto sauce. So you don't need to tell people "please just go away with this mcnugget nonsense". You wouldn't be expected to explain why one is better than the other. Most people that taste food understand immediately what you mean.
I don't know, this sounds a bit like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Why not go find extroverts instead?
NAT didn't make remote attacks harder, the default inbound deny rule did. NAT is not the firewall itself, it's just one of the things the firewall can do. Telephone companies are also ISPs, and they are and continue to be quite inept when it comes to securing their own networks, so NAT without a default inbound deny rule is not secure.

This matters in a very meaningful way. Have you seen how many enterprising but clueless consumers click random buttons until whatever they are trying to do works? They often don't know or care about other ramifications until it's too late.

> Also large amounts of crime in NY goes unreported because people mind their business and/or don't trust the cops.

Yes, crime stats are a mess for a bunch of reasons. The most-reliable are murder stats, because they rarely go unreported or otherwise unnoticed, and are the hardest to "juke the stats" on, especially if you try to do it for more than a brief span of time. Those are better in scary ol' Manhattan than in much of "safe" small town, small city, and suburban America, and often way better.
You seem to be implying that 80% of com/net domains are used for cybercrime, which is not a sound conclusion from those numbers. You're confusing "percent of all domains" with "percent of crime domains". You can't just divide them to get something meaningful.
Exactly. Humans are so much more irrational and illogical than the machines we know. And this is a feature, not a bug.
There are two outcomes here. Either they are insulated from the legal system (and in many cases, they absolutely are by virtue of having enough money to squash and drag out cases into oblivion), or the legal system is deficient.

Consider the Yotta/Synapse situation. Many people have lost a huge sum of money and the two companies involved are simply shrugging and saying they have no clue where it went. In many countries, either this problem would've never been allowed to occur in the first place or the government would start jailing people from the top down until someone starts to talk.
If I can tweak the metaphor, it's more like sitting on a vantage point within the park and peering at them with binoculars, far enough away that they can't see. It's still ick but definitely intrudes on them far less.
Congrats on the launch - there's a lot of unstructured public data as well (existing in the form of PDFs/Excel/PPT) are you planning to add support for those?

Here's the thing that makes tire dust and lead different: at least we get some measurable value from the tires. You can argue that our transportation system is wasteful, that we can use better means and modes, smaller vehicles and tires, but it remains true that we get non-zero benefit from the process any way you look at it.

In the case of leaded gas we got literally no benefit. There was never a legitimate reason to put lead in motor fuels.
Math education techniques are a legitimate field of research worthy of publication. Science education is an academic field that publishes just like any other. Arxiv is a preprint server and not a journal - they don’t discriminate based on “impact” or interest to a certain audience. If you want that, read a journal that meets your desired criteria. It is perfectly reasonable to publish methods for educating children, or even results intended for an audience of children in Arxiv. A key purpose of a preprint server is to circumvent gatekeeping.
It's only bad if one of the parties doesn't understand that it is transactional. When you succeed you might find that some people you thought you were just trading with feel betrayed in some way.
If you like NEATs you might also want to have a look at PDGP by R. Poli.

This is a more traditional / general GP in the sense that it expresses computer programs rather than NNs specifically, but is graph based rather than tree based, in a way that allows one to add a "link set" on top of the "function set" and "terminal sets", allowing it to fully express neural networks as well as more general graph structures. And as the name implies, it lends itself well to parallel/distributed operations.

The big difference with NEATs is that your initial population is randomly generated programs rather than "base" networks ... but you could easily treat these programs in the same manner Koza used GPs to evolve circuits from "embryonic circuits" by having terminals act as circuit-modifying operations.

> Ipv6 tends to diminish security of networks by defaulting to open access to all devices from the internet.

Approximately every device has at least one firewall between it and the internet. If you're getting "open access" it's because you went way out of your way to get it, regardless of IPv4/6
Moved fast and broke himself.
Just because you can pack the topology into a sparse matrix doesn't make it actually go faster.

Sparse matrices often don't see good speedup from GPUs.

In addition, each network is unique, each neuron can have an entirely different activation function, and the topology is constantly changing. You will burn a lot on constantly re-packing into matrices that then don't see the same speedups a more wasteful topology pretends to have.

On the flip-side out narrative of "speedup" is on bipartite graphs crunch faster in gpus and it might not be the same if the basis is actually utility of behaviors generated by the networks. A cousin thread explores this better.
I think you might be choosing the wrong people. :grimacing:

I disagree. With more computation you can train a bigger model on the same size training data and it will be better. There is a lot if knowledge on the internet that GPT-4 etc. have not yet learned.
That's orthogonal. Fixed-function hardware has a power efficiency advantage over programmable hardware. This isn't new or surprising, but it's also unrelated to CPU vs. GPU. Both CPU & GPU are programmable, so that's not relevant.
Congrats kid! It's a fun app incorporating strategic and visual play. The code is well structured and clean.

`onclick` handlers inline are a great way to get going with interactivity. One possible improvement could be to add event listeners dynamically after `load`.

Another challenge might be to move stuff outside of the global namespace, especially variables. For a challenge and possible improvement, see if you can implement a Singleton pattern.

Start practicing now with inline comments. In HTML and in JS. Build that as a good habit early -- it will save you and those around you countless hours in the future.
> All the """studies""" show 30-60% boost in productivity

The services that provide serious productivity boosts aren't being heavily used or marketed yet. They:

1. Attempt to do narrow tasks with high proficiency.
2. Replace specific job titles.
3. Are high-value enough to be slower to engage in layoffs.

What I'm suggesting is not a fungible solution, but it is one that will be highly profitable and productive.
Interesting. I think it would be good if you added a section to your README explaining who the target user for this is. Is it for systems that need extensive auditing? Also, what kind of performance hit do you get by doing cryptography for every allocation?
> Russia has extreme levels of alcoholism and drug abuse.

Russia _had_ extreme levels of alcoholism in the 1990s and in the beginning of 2000s. Since then, their anti-alcohol campaign was very effective. Instead of outright banning alcohol (which was tried in the 1980s and led to a bootlegging boom), they taxed the hell out of strong liquors, prohibited advertising them, prohibited nighttime sale of alcoholic drinks including beer, prohibited everything except beer on sports events, and executed other measures to make alcoholic beverages _uncomfortable_ to obtain.

As a result, alcohol consumption per capita decreased nearly twofold. Now average Russian drinks less than average American [1].

I agree, maintaining a pool is super easy. My assumption with the splash pad is that there must be some complication introduced because of the aeration of the water, and maybe the cycle time. Aside from raising the PH, maybe it makes it tough to keep the chlorine levels up even with CYA. I wonder if it would be feasible to build a splash loop that had an intermediate tank which could maintain better control over chlorine levels for a predictable amount of time that would make sanitizing reliable.
This is unjust. I don’t want to know what sick conspiracy mindset led to this - I wouldn’t be surprised if the murderer’s only motive was terror and a ill-defined, horrifying blanket desire to target “the establishment”.

In a just world, sadly, this man would have been slapped with a class action case with a 1000 times the ferocity the ex-CEO of Steward Health is getting, and both he and UnitedHealthcare would be painstakingly charged for the tens of thousands of manslaughter cases he would be liable for, that families of victims would happily testify to, whether due to denied care, or the stress or unsustainable and unjustified medical debt.

That would be justice, and that would the be the only way the insurance industry would have been seriously pushed to reform.
This rings true:

> We’re increasingly becoming a society where very wealthy people get obsequious, leisurely human care, like concierge medicine paid out of pocket, private schools with tiny class sizes and dead tree books, and apothecaries with personal shoppers. And everybody else might receive long wait times for 15-minute appointments with harried doctors, a public school system with overworked teachers who are supplemented by unproven apps to “personalize” learning and a pharmacy with self-checkout.

My take: The blind pursuit of KPIs that seek to measure "the achievement of goals" has led to so much automation that in many settings people can now interact only with or through machines.

> At least I got 'The purpose of a system is what it does' stuck in my head.

Which seems like a rather odd understanding of "purpose" divorced from any possible use of the word. What is the point of talking about "purpose" if you can't persuade the person intending that purpose to change their mind? Why not talk about "use" or "effect" instead?

Indeed it's interesting to see aggregation as part of this list. Usually, the split of what can be pushed down to the storage layer and what cannot, is between stateless operations (filtering, projection) and stateful operations (e.g. joins, but also aggregations), as for instance they may require data from multiple storage nodes in a distributed data store.
First off, the AGPL license is nonfree (and also nonsensical, it is a EULA pretending to be a license), but more importantly, dual licensing means that you don’t actually believe in software freedoms. If you think users have basic and fundamental rights to the software that they run on their computer, you would never release software under proprietary licenses.

It’s like Microsoft’s VS Code nonsense where all the important bits are non free, or any company with “open core”. They don’t care about software freedoms; it’s just open source cosplay.
Interestingly, the experiences that people are rallying around (for better or worse) are more going _against_ negative effects (perceived or real) of the scientific / technological world:

* Climate Change (caused by the tech of "burning lots of fuels")

* PFAS, pesticides, endocrine disruptors, etc...

* Opiods crisis, nartotics, etc...

* Impact of GAFAM on privacy, social discourse, etc...

In a sense, the "white coats in their labs" and "nerds with glasses" have been repeatedly found (lately) to be on the "wrong side of the issue". (There are usually scientists on both side of the issue, which is the saving grace for science: self-correction is built in.)

Maybe it's relevant that the book is dated from 1929, that is, right before a time where "white coats" started being involved into very shady stuff (eugenics, mass-media propaganda, global-scale destruction weapons, and of, course, industrialized death.)

The COVID crises could have been a time for science in general to earn trust again - in some sense it did, but this time people were overexpecting, and got disappointed at least (and downright enraged at worst, if they were on the wrong side of the politico-scientifict decisions.)

And the pendulum will keep swinging, but hopefully still rise.

> If I could build a cheap system with around 200GB,

Even if AMD dropped the price to $2000, you could not be able to build a system with one of these cards. You cannot buy these cards at their current 5 digit pricing. The idea that you could buy it if they dropped the price to $2000 is a fantasy, since others would purchase the supply long before you have a chance to purchase one, just like they do now.

AMD is already selling out at the current 5 digit pricing and Nvidia is not affected, since Nvidia is selling millions of cards per year and still cannot meet demand while AMD is selling around 100,000. AMD dropping the price to $2000 would not harm Nvidia in the slightest. It would harm AMD by turning a significant money maker into a loss leader. It would also likely result in Lisa Su being fired.

By the way, the CUDA moat is overrated since people already implement support for alternatives. llama.cpp for example supports at least 3. PyTorch supports alternatives too. None of this harms Nvidia unless Nvidia stops innovating and that is unlikely to happen. A price drop to $2000 would not change this.

Also, thanks, that's great feedback :)
For all that this is lauded as a "prototyping tool", it's frustrating to see Genie2 discarding entire portions of the concept art demo. The original images drawn by Max Cant have these beautiful alien creatures. Large ones floating, and small ones being herded(?). Genie2 just ignores these beautiful details entirely:

> That large alien? That's a tree.
> That other large alien? It's a bush.
> That herd of small creatures? Fugghedaboutit
> The lightning storm? I can do one lightning pole.
> Those towering baobob/acacia hybrids? Actually only two stories tall.

It feels so insulting to the concept artist to show those two videos off.
