This from a personal view is one of the main current issues with America.

The rules often appear to exist to punish the just and law abiding, while the unscrupulous simply ignore the laws, win their current sportball match, and then rewrite the laws afterward to legitimize whatever the results were. Really common theme with corporate America.

A lot of campaign finance laws are almost flagrantly ignored, or superficially followed, with a light slap and a candy treat afterward. Corporate laws are almost amazing when there's a fine that "actually" matters, and not just a round-off error "cost-of-doing-business." Company makes $10^11 - $10^9 revenue per year, gets a $10^7 - $10^6 fine a decade later? Right, that was like 100th to a 1000th of a single year revenue fine.

I don't want to poo-poo on anyone's AGPL shell-script-over-ssh tool, but I would draw your attention to ansible[1] which is also (plus or minus) shell over ${connection plugin of your choice} but (a) is plausibly idempotent, which 100% is not the case for this[2] (b) is licensed more reasonably, including its scripts/roles/templates (c) has an almost unlimited number of existing examples/stack overflow/documentation[3] as one would expect from a version 11 tool

That's not really 100% true. A lot of the data this is trained on is ERA5, which appears to be highly dense in both time and space, but is assimilation data inferred from much sparser observations. I wouldn't say it's inaccurate, but I see pretty large deviations between assimilation datasets and private weather observations (I work on this problem).

The results are governed by physics up to some level, but we can't simulate at that fine a level, so there's some inherent aleatoric uncertainty (i.e. noise). And I would generally say that physics-simulation-ML is not moving as fast as say, inference on images or text. For example, if you see a picture of a car, there's very little inherent uncertainty on what the answer is. If you see the world simulator state there's a lot of uncertainty on what happens next.

That all being said, I think is basically the best model out there , and almost certainly the best open model. This is really the culmination of many years of effort getting data and software in place to run such a large scale training job. Very impressive!

The proximal animal hosts of SARS-1 and MERS were both discovered within about a year of the first human infections. This provides strong evidence of their natural zoonotic origin.

Such a host for SARS-CoV-2 would falsify theories of research-related origin. None has been found, despite the much greater effort to search. That doesn't mean it's certainly unnatural, but it's surprising.
I use o1, mainly to

- write well-defined and self-contained bash, python, powershell scripts to automate tasks

- give it an error (often from a build tool) and ask it to help fix it. Sometimes it figures it out, but if not then it gives me ideas, and sometimes this allows me to figure it out myself

- ask it how to achieve things at a high level (if I’m unfamiliar with a tool or problem domain). Sometimes this is to validate what I was already planning to do or find a better way to achieve the desired result (I tend to work solo on projects)

- text or code transformations

- writing regular expressions

- I use copilot to improve code writing speed. Sometimes it gets things wrong but overall I find it does speed things up, particularly for repetitive tasks (e.g switch statements with similar cases)
These are hard to keep updated. I find they usually fall off. It would be cool to have one, but honestly, this one already doesn't even have 4o and pro on it which if it was being maintained, it obviously would. Updating a table shouldn't take days. It's like a one minute event.
> Were they actually stopped?

I think the broad, practical answer to that is 'almost certainly'. I'm pretty sure if warships hadn't shown up and asked to come over and have a chat, the ship wouldn't still be sitting there. There's also probably a very technical legal answer which may indicate they weren't "stopped" at all based on the precise wording actually communicated and relevant maritime law.

Interestingly, a long time ago I got to experience being on a freighter in the South China Sea and having some sizable Singapore navy warships pull up and ask to have a chat and take a look around. Warships pulling up at sea certainly has a way of commanding your undivided attention. It's like being pulled over by a cop, except the cop is heavily armed commandos in an Apache attack helicopter.

I suspect the only reason the navy hasn't boarded that ship yet is because the captain is being ordered to stonewall by the owners and the government would prefer to avoid breaking maritime law (especially with everyone paying attention). However, if the relevant governments determine there's sufficient value in searching the ship, they'll just have their maritime lawyers come up with the best excuse or "exigent circumstances" pretense they can and board anyway.

The ship I was on was flying a Liberian flag but Indonesian owned. Given that we were in international waters and these guys weren't even customs, police or port authority (who are the dudes who usually pull over freighters), the captain could have technically denied their request but he didn't even consider it. He later told me, basically, if you are not 'the droids they're looking for' then you let them the fuck on board. As a commercial hauler there's simply no upside to making trouble for the Navy, they have a lot of ways to ruin your day and you might someday need their help if you've got an emergency (or pirates chasing you, which is not impossible in those waters). The only freighter captains who insist on exercising their rights under maritime law when facing a naval warship typically have a political motivation or maybe are actually pirates, spies or smugglers (of weapons or people - warships don't give a fuck about that undeclared container of stereos). Naval warships (at least in that area) also don't usually care much about expired paperwork, lapsed passports or even outstanding warrants. They aren't law enforcement and a warship like that costs over a million dollars a day to keep at sea. They are there under national command authority for reasons that are way above a freighter captain's pay grade. The captain and crew are usually just contractors hired to drive the ship. Our captain had been at sea 15 years and that was the first time he'd ever had a naval warship pay any attention to him.

There's no "right to have a sustainable business", sorry.
Yes, for many reasons. What else were you expecting? It tends to be more a cost-effective way of using the research money, it's considered more ethical, it has less legal risk, and so on.

If you're saying you want to perform a full-head transplant on humans without ever succeeding on apes, people would very rightly call you delusional.
I'm sorry you're just hearing this only right now, but unfortunately it's been happening for a while, and we've also known it for a while.

I.e. https://food.ec.europa.eu/food-safety/eu-agri-food-fraud-net... found widespread fraud and put measures in place to prevent it, but it continues to be challenging.
That is privileged take. The things we take for granted in a 'prosperous' society- food on grocery store shelves, doctors available in the ER, plumbers to fix your plumbing, etc. etc. all require people to work 'standard' hours and follow 'standard' paths. The path of the 'creative' tech worker taking two years off is incredibly privileged, and I would argue infantilizing.
Everybody's life is different but if I have to do something similar this will be my strategy:

- Move to a low cost place where other indiehackers go: thailand, bali.
- Start living in a cheap hostel with other indiehackers
- Copy an existing app with lot of users and something that interest me
- Start with the lowest price possible. Keep on adding features and introducing expensive plans
- Non stop marketing on X, FB, Insta, reddit etc

As soon as you leave your job it is a ticking clock. Every minute is important. I know mental sanity is important but life of entrepreneur is not best one if you want one. It is risky. It is a grind.
It's an exaggeration to illustrate a point. Still, thanks for bringing in the perspective.
I've used make for years, even partially wrote my own make interpreter once, I hate it as much as anybody else.
But I don't feel confident investing in a new tool that has widespread industry adoption.
I wish there was a 'better make' that tries to replace make the same way Zig wants to replace C, where they have great interop and make it easy to rewrite code into the new language.

Simple systems can be famously unpredictable [1]. Our bodies manage entropy; that should make them complex but predictable. The weather, on the other hand, has no governors or raison d'être.

Hence why I've been a heavy critic of ideologues spewing about capitalism without ever considering how we should imbue morality into an amoral system.

Being morally corrupt is kinda the point, less educated people manage to maintain a sense of morality while living under this system, they aren't rewarded for it but still have character enough to not be corrupted. His choice of participating on a clearly immoral scheme is conscious, responding to the incentives comes from a failure of character.

No, it's not. Honey is defined by the USDA as being flower nectar that's been processed by bees[1]. Artificial honey can not be called honey[2]. If they're mixing it with high fructose corn syrup, then there should be a way to scientifically determine that.

It absolutely worked.
> honey is just sugar syrup

That's factually incorrect. First of all, obviously it has tons of extra flavor, which indicates a whole range of additional chemical compounds.

> But that's what the honey cult is, homeopathic.

Honey has scientifically proven antibiotic properties [1].

> adulterated honey is difficult to detect

I don't know what you mean by "difficult", but it can certainly be detected [2]. And it can be observed how the antimicrobial properties diminish as adulteration increases.

Now, does this mean honey has health benefits when you eat it? Not necessarily. The antibiotic properties have traditionally been utilized when applying honey on top of a wound to prevent infection -- not by eating it.

You may very well be right that consuming honey isn't any different from consuming HFCS. But it does have a lot of additional chemical compounds in it (as the antibiotic properties demonstrate), so the best answer is that we really don't know.

In any case, it is demonstrably not "just sugar syrup". But yes, you're probably correct that it will give you diabetes just as fast as Mountain Dew.

To me it seems intuitive that training on any unseen word patterns should increase intelligence as long as said patterns are consistent with ground truth. That's why it's counter-intuitive (to me) that training can fail, purely based on where the training data came from. The source of the information is something only the universe itself should be able to take into consideration (full causality chain), and not the training process.

We're talking about SARS-CoV-2. We know that's a sarbecovirus, and we know the WIV had the world's largest collection of sarbecoviruses. That's the extraordinary coincidence that has prompted all of this debate. Your comment clearly implied that wasn't actually so surprising, because the WIV was located in a place where natural zoonosis was also believed to be more likely. That's completely false though, per the comments I've quoted from Dr. Shi herself.

It's certainly possible that other labs are deliberately located close to natural populations of the other organisms they're studying. That's not relevant in a discussion of the WIV and sarbecoviruses, though. There's no reason except obfuscation to shift focus to some broader question when we have facts specific to SARS-CoV-2.

In case you wish to clarify: Do you agree that specifically as to SARS-CoV-2, the probability of natural zoonosis near Wuhan was no higher than (and actually lower than, per Dr. Shi) random?
How would you distinguish that from a society that is slowly discovering long lasting frauds that have been going on for decades?

Uh... no? The topic is "undersea internet cables", it's right there at the top of the page.

Here's a (not completely flippant) answer: yes. At least in the case of Sirius B, and let's be hones, this is the case we care about, a planet that orbits it would be very close to Sirius A too. The distance between Sirius A and Sirius B is always between about 8 AU and 32 AU (1 AU = Sun-Earth distance). Since Sirius A is about 25 times more luminous than the Sun and Sirius B about 50 times dimmer, it is very likely that a planet orbiting Sirius B will receive most of its light/heat from Sirius A, and it would be somewhat comparable to what the Earth and Mars receive from the Sun.
All of the honey I buy at grocery stores crystalizes almost immediately… sugar syrup won’t do that. I usually buy something that appears to be directly from a local farm with a name and address I recognize, and is in a regular mason jar with no fancy branding.
I'm certainly willing to believe I don't "own" my phone today. I use an Apple device and until recently there was only one allowed way to distribute software. Still, so far as I know, it's not possible to run software as root (ie expressing ownership!) and people use jailbreaks to achieve more control.

In general I believe we're more likely to see 'soft' power: enforced through social mores, or just making something without options, creating a 'that's just how it is' situation. So I'm less inclined to believe that we'd be forced to accept things like remote attestation or global IDs.

..and yet. Those are possible, and would appeal to some governments, and we all know how easy to is to pass bad laws. Plus, they are extremely powerful: we could be surveilled and controlled far more than, say, the Stasi managed in East Germany. And look at what they were able to achieve in terms of control: imagine what could be done today. The idea is terrifying. I believe it's entirely possible to create a society where the power imbalance is so strong would not be feasibly possible for there to be democratic, freedom-oriented change.
Yes. My point is exactly that. People want nationalized healthcare, but once there’s layer upon layer of media propaganda and power plays by the donor class of both parties, the people don’t end up voting for (or don’t have the option to vote for) their own interests.

It was a "chinese" vessel in the sense of registration. It wasn't operating at the behest of the PRC government. Nor, obviously, would one expect literal espionage to be carried out only by identifiable government vessels of the nation doing the operation.
