Yes. If your business solves a real customer problem and uses "blockchain" to do it, that's great, but you should describe yourself as a tool to solve the problem. If you mention blockchain on the homepage of your product at all, it should be treated with suspicious. It's a sign that you're speaking to investors and fools and not to savvy customers.

One exception: personal projects. "This is an NES emulator that is built in Rust, and it uses Rust because I wanted to learn Rust" is a perfectly good description of a project (but not a business).

> A little worried how young children watching these videos may develop inaccurate impressions of physics in nature.

I'm less concerned with physics for children--assuming they get enough time outdoors--and more about adulthood biases and media-literacy.

In particular, a turbocharged version of a problem we already have: People grow up watching movies and become subconsciously taught that flaws of the creation pipeline (e.g. lens flare, depth of field) are signs of "realism" in a general sense.

That manifests in things such as video-games where your human character somehow sees the world with crappy video-cameras for eyes. (Excepting a cyberpunk context, where that would actually make sense.)
But when they do get together, it’s a blast!
The Rust version of Starlark used in Buck2 apparently supports type annotations. I've never used it though and I have no idea about IDE support.
Perhaps it'll be more intuitive to you if you scale the number of doors up. If there are 100 doors, only one containing a car, you pick one, the host reveals 98/99 remaining doors as goats, it's obvious the correct choice is to switch. The correct answer is a mathematically provable probability. 1% chance you picked the right door, 99% chance the door was in the remaining pool, therefore 99% chance the last remaining door is the correct door.
Sorry, I'd misunderstood what you meant by "referenced". The 700k is also reported in papers published before the one I linked, for example Table 1 of

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00430-009-0118-5

So the author didn't just make it up. Peer review isn't magic, but it does tend to catch such a blatant level of fraud; so it's odd that was your first assumption. He should have included the reference, but it's not uncommon to get sloppy when a result is widely reported.

I haven't yet traced this number back to the epidemiological methodology. As noted, I fully accept that it might wrong, since influenza numbers tend to be calculated from excess mortality and not directly counted. Until we've reviewed that methodology, I agree that it's reasonable to question the exact number. I believe that uncertainty applies to most epidemiological estimates, including but not limited to the 1977 flu.

But I've explicitly acknowledged the uncertainty, so I'm not sure why you're continuing to focus on this. There is no significant question that the 1977 flu was reintroduced into humans due to a research accident, and no question that it went on to infect a large fraction of the world. There's no question that many people died, even if the exact number is uncertain. Are you proposing that it's few enough that there's no reason to care? If so, what's your cutoff?

The 200k was an arbitrary placeholder. I thought the phrase "or whatever the right number would be" following it would make that clear, but maybe not.

> That's not a prior, it's a posterior: it's the probability of an event given the evidence. We're interested in a prior probability when we don't have enough evidence to calculate a posterior. Like with Covid-19.

I mean that if SARS-CoV-2 were proven to have arisen unnaturally, then my prior that a different future pandemic was unnatural would go up. That again seems very normal to me, since humans predict the future using the past. As I noted, I would adjust my prior based on factors other than a simple count of past research-origin pandemics too; but the count is obviously relevant information. Your updated prior of p ~ 0.0001 to 0.00001 seems to also be derived from a past count, just reaching into prehistory to inflate the denominator.

This thread started when you asserted that "every single pandemic and disease that has ever infected humans did not leak from a lab". Exact numbers for the death toll and prior aside, do you at least agree that's false?
Wouldn’t this same concern apply to historical fiction in general?
We’re taking negative externalities to a whole new dimension!

No. That condition holds in all three of the scenarios that I stated. And yet you have 3 different answers. Switching 2/3 win, 1/2 win, and 0/1 win respectively.

You specifically need information that we haven't been given about the counterfactuals. What might Monty have done in other scenarios that we have not yet observed? We don't know. And we're not actually told. That makes that an implicit assumption that wasn't specified.
> Hopefully I'm just overthinking it.

I think it's unnecessary to worry about obviously bad stuff in nascent and rapidly developing technology. The people who spent most time with it (the developers) are aware of the obviously bad stuff and will work to improve it.
There are small burger restaurant chains in Canada that grind their meat on the premises. Burger's Priest (they used to tout this, but since the franchising push, this link is the only mention about grinding their own meat - https://www.recipeunlimited.com/en/franchising/burger-priest...) and Holy Chuck Burgers - https://holychuckburgers.com/.

Some meat sellers mechanically tenderize (blading) their cuts of beef. This may cause E.coli on the surface of the beef to enter the interior of the beef. Costco was linked to E.coli cases in 2012 due to this practice. See https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2013/06/has-you...

Thank you for clarifying something that I pointed out in my comment while missing the total point of my comment.

on edit: I don't actually think you made my comment "but all of the questions are potentially true." any clearer than I made it, and evidently you seem to think that only A and E are potentially true, which is obviously wrong.

on second edit: ah I see that you believe the idea that some people are saying that All my hats are green indicates that the liar must have hats https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42369002 because evidently the assumption is that the 0 hat has a color green for some reason that is not adequately explained.

If that were true then it also follows that if the liar has no hats then all his hats are every color known to humanity. I don't think that is the way it works however.

Yeah a big reason I started doing pixel art back in 2009 was because it enabled me to do lots of trial and error by changing pixels until I got it to look good. It's much harder to do that with more traditional art, because there are way more options. That's not at all to say that pixel art doesn't require skill, but the skill floor is definitely lower.
> To me, and I know not everyone agrees, but I feel nearly all forms of news media (particularly the ones you listed) are way too biased and have agendas to consider the information you consume from them helping you "stay informed and have an educated opinion".

Strong agree. The goal is to make money by keeping your eyeballs on the ads. And they keep you coming back with all this shocking stuff.

What I would like, and probably with the GP would like, was a news source that just stuck to the facts. It could be consumed in a very short time, and if you wanted to know more, you can go find it.

Such a news source is bound to fail in the face of the grab-your-eyeballs news sources. It's just going to be boring because it doesn't hit your brain in the same way.

One thing I noticed when I switched to Mastodon was that it was actually kind of "dull", for lack of a better word. I follow tons of hashtags I'm interested in, and the feed has good stuff in it. But after scrolling for 10 minutes, I kind of feel like doing something else.

I still use Mastodon. That's how I'like my news to be, as well. The closest I found is wikipedia, like some people have said, and the raw news feeds from news syndicates (I'm not sure if anyone hosts these anymore).

Another thing to make news less insane is to just go to the local news. In my town of 100,000, it's news that actually impacts me, isn't sensationalistic, and is low traffic. I have a deep link to get there that just bypasses the front page of the news site. Also their comment section is horrible, so I've turned off JavaScript for it.
I think you’re going to need about 10,000,000 qbits to divert a transaction, but that’s still within foreseeable scale. I think it’s extreme likely that the foundation will have finished their quantum resistance planning before we get to 10MM coherent qbits, but still, it’s a potential scenario.

More likely that other critical infrastructure failures will happen within trad-finance, much larger vulnerability footprint, and being able to trivially reverse engineer every logged SSL session is likely to be a much more impactful turn of events. I’d venture that there are significant ear-on-the-wire efforts going on right now in anticipation of a reasonable bulk SSL de cloaking solution. Right now we think it doesn’t matter who can see our “secure” traffic. I think that is going to change, retroactively, in a big way.

You were the one to claim the only interpretation (in opposite of OP who merely claimed "typical English" interpretation). Moreover, your interpretation directly contradicts both conventional typical English interpretation, which would be relevant in legal context (where making such claims with empty set in mind would be deemed misleading), and conventional formal-logical interpretation, which would be relevant in programming (where the truth of `array.every()` doesn't imply the truth of `array.some()`).

The hall of great scientists is packed with holders of strange beliefs. Half of Newton's writings were on religious speculation, alchemy, and the occult. One of Einstein's very favorite books was Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled". Just about every key person in early QM was deep into the Vedas. Kary Mullis was an AIDS denialist, and questioned the utility of his own test as a virus detector. If you really think about it, you will see that this phenomenon arises more from necessity than coincidence.
"Two Envelopes Problem" seems to be usaully referred to a very different problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_envelopes_problem
It is less 'logic is new'... it more about abstract thinking is a skill that is more useful in societies that have complex social arrangements.

If you are a primitive farmer abstract thinking isn't really useful to you. Everything you deal with in your life, except religion, can almost entirely be dealt with absolutes with little in the way of abstractions.

If it rains at the right time then you can have a good harvest. If the weather is bad then it sucks. If there is animals threatening your crops or herd you need to take steps to deal with them.

There is a lot of logic in dealing with these things. You have to know the seasons, know the stars, know the dirt, etc. You have to understand the life cycle and manipulate the behavior and biology of plants and animals at the right stages in their lives. Things have a logical sequence and there are direct consequences that are predictable from events and your actions.

Where as in modern society you have been conditioned to think in terms of hypothetical and abstractions through being exposed to testing your entire life.

You first need to know how test questions work before you are able to answer them accurately.

For a person who isn't exposed to this then the whole affair of asking hypotheticals and assuming imaginary situations with specific rules that don't actually apply to the present reality is very confusing.

They don't even understand the question. So, of course, they are going to suck at answering them.

And ultimately that is all IQ testing measures.. your ability to take tests.

Yup - hard agree on all the Python parts, but I'll happily recommend direnv wherever possible. It doesn't do much, but it brings a ton of sanity and simplicity to shell env without including any installers - it's just an activator, and a very simple one, so it'll survive next year's python and npm and etc tool flavors with no issues.
I may be the only one but this kinda breaks my brain in that I notice weird physics anomalies in these but then I start to look for those in non-AI produced video and start to question everything. Hopefully this a short term situation.

Retro computer programming satisfies two of my needs:

2. To help with my interest in RE. The idea is to get familiar with many architectures so RE an unknown one is not a rocket science.

I'm not in the EU, but when I see something that is US only, I tend to assume its doing something with privacy/user data/otherwise that is restricted in the EU.

Which means I generally avoid things that are not EU available even if they are available to me. Its not 100% but its a fairly decent measure of how much companies care about users to ensure they meet EU privacy laws from the start, vs if they provide some limited version or delayed version to the EU.

I'm still waiting on the future waves of PTSD from hyper realistic horror games. I can't think of a worse thing to do then hand a kid a VR headset (or game system) and have them play a game that is designed to activate every single fight or flight nerve in the body on a level that is almost indistinguishable from reality. 20 years ago that would have been the plot to a torture porn flick.

Even worse than that is when people get USED to it and no longer have a natural aversion to horrific scenes taking place in the real world.

This AI stuff accelerates that process of illusion but in every possible direction at once.

As much as people don't want to believe it, by beholding we are indeed changed.
> One complication is that in typical English, if you say "All my hats....", you are simultaneously making an existence statement that you have at least one hat... but the usual formal logic "forall" quantifier does NOT presume existence.

Note this is only true for companies registered under US law, especially under Delaware law. (And UK law to a lesser extent)

Which puts the onus of proof on the minority shareholders, to demonstrate they have a bonafide need for such information.

Most US states do so, which ironically makes the US one of the most authoritarian and dictatorial countries when it comes to minority shareholder rights.

Compare it with say Japan or China where the onus of proof is on the company to demonstrate why the requests of minority shareholders should be denied.

And the only real restriction is that any group of shareholders making such requests have to own at least 3% to 5% of the total shares.

Fair point, particularly given the example. My conclusion wrt. Marvel vs. DC is that DC productions care much less about details, in exactly the way I find off-putting.

Not all details matter, some do. And, it's better to not show the details at all, than to be inconsistent in them.

Like, idk., don't identify a bomb as a specific type of existing air-fuel ordnance and then act about it as if it was a goddamn tactical nuke. Something along these lines was what made me stop watching Arrow series.

I think something is getting lost in translation.

These papers, from my quick skim (tho I did read the first one fully years ago,) seem to show that some images and to an extent video can be generated from discrete tokens, but does not show that exact images nor that any image can be.

For instance, what combination of tokens must I put in to get _exactly_ Mona Lisa or starry night? (Tho these might be very well represented in the data set. Maybe a lesser known image would be a better example)

As I understand, OC was saying that they can’t produce what they want with any degree of precision since there’s no way to encode that information in discrete tokens.
