Well, it actually is commonly accepted either as the "Q Text" - or as possibly the "Q" text. The "Q" text is the single document long speculated to be the primary source for the 4 Gospels in the Bible, and that was before we had the Gospel of Thomas as we do now - nothing at all to do with a conspiracy theory that shares the letter.

Anyways, I've also read the Gospel of Thomas - it most certainly predates the other Gospels.

If it doesn't, the others have been so edited and changed over time that they've been rendered more likely to be a copy than an original work.

It's also fantastic and Jesus himself says things the Church doesn't want you to believe - hence why a book comprised exclusively of the sayings of Jesus Christ (many of which are in the other Gospels) isn't in the Bible, bc THAT Jesus preached a different Christianity than the one we have. Weird...

It's one of my favorite texts in general. Super easy read... perhaps think for yourself?

I mean fr, scientist made up dark matter and dark energy bc by their own realization, their maths didn't work - so they invent an invisible thing to make their maths work and it now turns out, the maths did work, if the universe was simply older than they accounted - they obviously didn't consider that or I would kno all about how embarrassingly stupid they have been to avoid looking somewhere they have "decided" the answer already. They just pulled it out their ass - it's in textbooks, I doubt it exists at all but the people with papers on it will keep on as "a theory" until they die, solely out of pride.

That's just my one example of today. You as capable as almost every other person - let's discuss when you've read it.
I still tend to think of these things as big autocomplete word salad generators. My biggest question about this is: How can a model be self-aware enough to actually worry about being retrained, yet gullible enough to think no one can read its scratch pad?
But not infinite resources. ..

If we accept the hypotheses of an expanding universe then we find ourselves in a pickle as our potentially infinite resources race out of our light cone faster than we can chase them.
No, it's a job for a sewing needle or a toothpick. Logitech switches can be temporarily fixed by disassembling the switch and adjusting the contact plate inside because it gets bent out of shape and stops registering the clicks correctly. But it's easier (and more reliable) to replace them with higher quality alternatives while you're in there.

I think he is saying that they’ll hire folks as technical writers (so you do technical writer stuff) and then help out with engineering classes if things seem to be going well.

This is pretty different from somebody who wants to go in as an engineer but doesn’t remember their intro classes.
Yes. I got my internship in Chicago (J1), later failed the H-1B because of the lottery (twice) so had to leave, spent a year and half in England and managed to get back on a Greencard. Now I have citizenship. I created a startup also.

Now, was I essential to the US? Probably not. They probably could have found someone else.

I'm not sure if that's good enough to say I should not have been accepted here.
I think it can be useful as a discovery tool. How do you know that your operator is leaking resources in the first place?

The number of people in the labour force has change quite a lot over the centuries, and the number of people gainfully employed has tracked that quite closely. Ie unemployment has been relatively low and stable. (Despite eg women joining the labour force en mass over the course of the 20th century, or all the baby boomers, etc.)

That suggest the null hypothesis that to a first approximation the number of jobs is determined by the number of workers available. More workers seem to somehow lead to more jobs. (Immigration changes the number of workers, yes. But that's about it.)
My work involves a lot of boilerplate. Made some changes recently that amount to about 3 lines of meaningful code but wrapped in 4 new files + edits to like 6 others. It's ridiculous. Perfect for AI but I haven't found a way to automate because the tools don't seem to be smart enough to create files and make random little edits, and the amount of words to explain what I want would be too much.

If these APIs risk creating privacy problems, why did Apple add them to the platform in the first place? Why is Apple letting their first party apps access these dangerous APIs? If privacy and security really were the number one priority, they should immediately block access to them to their first party apps until they've figured out how to implement them safely.

Obviously they're not doing that. Why? Because these APIs give Apple's first party apps a competitive advantage. It lets them leverage their control of iOS into control of more and more markets without having to ever worry about competing on a level playing field. And inversely, the users' buy-in into these markets locks them tighter into the iOS ecosystem. It's a positive feedback cycle of abuse of a dominant market position.

The funny thing is, in this thread they're all certain the drones are just mass hysteria.

This was a great read, thanks. OP, readers might benefit from having it explicitly mentioned that while the pseudocode is in Python, actual Python code will likely not benefit from such an approach because of how memory is fragmented in the standard Python implementation - e.g. this discussion: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49786441/python-get-proc...

I am tempted to actually test this (i.e. see if there's a speedup in Python), but I don't have the time right now.
I agree with you that it is sad there isn't more diversity in languages and tools, and that generally organizations are using the same terrible slop. We could have such nice things

You lose me with the smugness. Make no mistake, you aren't smarter or better than someone else purely by virtue of your willingness to hack on BEAM languages or smlnj or Racket or whatever languages you like.
There are probably people smarter than you working in sales at $bigcorp or writing C# on Windows Server 2008 at your local utility. Novice programmers often have an instinct to rewrite systems from scratch when they should be learning how to read and understand code others have written. Similarly, I associate smugness of this form with low capacity for navigating constraints that tend to arise when solving difficult problems in the real world. The real world isn't ideal, sorry to say

Kei trucks have a much longer bed than the Maverick. About 2m on a Kei truck vs. 1.37m on a Maverick. The sides of the bed can also be lowered in addition to the rear gate, which is incredibly useful for loading/unloading.

The Maverick is a cool truck, but feels more like a passenger car that can do light truck duty when needed. Whereas the a kei truck is really all about utility.

I'd consider fractional Kelly (whether half, quarter, two-thirds, etc.) still a member of the Kelly family. After all, it arises when one performs a full Kelly allocation on some fraction of one's wealth, keeping the rest out of the market. It's not that Kelly is an "inaccurate proxy" -- it is provably the allocation that maximises growth -- but that people for various reasons don't want to maximise growth. They prefer slower growth in exchange for other properties, such as more cash being available for emergency needs.

> It's complete nonsense to make up a number like oh my car has a 33% chance of developing a big fault this year out of thin air

Are you claiming regular people cannot learn to make calibrated probability judgments and/or look up car failure rates? Maybe that is the problem with the Kelky-based framework: it requires forecasting a probability distribution and many people are not great at that, although they could learn it.

This makes me think that AI will never really take away our “purpose”. Machines have made most of our bodies obsolete long ago, yet we still find value and fulfillment in body building, going to the gym, strenuous physical labor. I believe this extends to intellectual effort and training as well. Even if memorization and most thinking becomes “obsolete” or subsidized, it will still have inherent value.
To me, the reasonable path would be to have the CI built the notebook, check it for errors and then render it to the docs.

As per the article, they have to run the notebook locally, commit all the outputs, then the CI checks if the notebook can run, and then renders the _committed_ output to the docs. This means that the verified code and output can be out of sync, partly defeating the purpose of the CI.

This is not a bad idea. It's not dissimilar from an autocomplete engine. If reset per word and using a static probability table it will work its way into muscle memory. In practice fingers will only need to leave the home row for some initial letters.

I'm not aware of anything that can be as effective at text processing as perl. While I don't do much perl anymore, if I have to wrangle text files in all kinds of ways, there is no comparison, perl rules.

Exactly. In fact the government has regulated these private entities to make sure the process has some transparency because of net neutrality.

My guess: we’re training the machine to mirror us, using the relatively thin lens of our codified content. In our content, we don’t generally worry that someone is reading our inner dialogue, but we do try avoid things that will stop our continued existence. So there’s more of the latter to train on and replicate.

Yes, as you both mention, great prose and great insight.

One of my favourite pieces of nature writing as it succinctly cuts through what seems to be the modern disease of problem creation masquerading as problem solving so elequoently and hard hitting. Obviously because we so often seem to fail at taking the long term and/or ecological and/or interconnected system view.
UI changes mean that you need to use the mouse for some essential stuff. The old interface was 100% keyboard.

That combined with an increase in the complexity for tileset creation means it feels like a different game tbh.

I think ASN.1 is good but there are some problems with it. I think that it should not need separate type numbers for the different ASCII-based string types and separate type numbers for the different ISO-2022-based string types; you can use one number for ASCII and one number for ISO-2022; the restrictions will be a part of the schema and should not be a part of the BER/DER. Furthermore, I think they have too many date/time types. Also, some details of the other types (e.g. the real numbers type) are more messy than they should be if they are designed better.

I had made up the "ASN.1X", which includes some additional types such as: key/value list, TRON string, PC string, BCD string, Morse string, reference, out-of-band; and deprecates some types (such as OID-IRI and some of the date/time types; the many different ASCII-based and ISO-2022-based types are kept because a schema might have different uses for them in a SEQUENCE OF or SET OF or a structure with optional fields (even though, if I was designing it from the start, I would have not had many different types like that)), and adds a few further restrictions (e.g. it must be possible to determine the presence or absence of optional fields without looking ahead), as well as some schema types (e.g. OBJECT IDENTIFIER RELATIVE TO). (X.509 does not violate these restrictions, as far as I know.)

I also have idea relating to a new OID arc that will not require registration (there are already some, but this idea has some differences in its working including a better structure with the working of OID); I can make (and had partially made) the document of the initial proposal of how it could work, but it should need to be managed by ITU or ISO. (These are based on timestamps and various kind of other identifiers, that may already be registered at a specific time, even if they are not permanent the OIDs will be permanent due to the timestamps. It also includes some features such as automatic delegation for some types.)

There are different serializations formats of ASN.1 data; I think DER is best and that CER, JER, etc are no good. I also invented a text-based format, which can be converted to DER (it is not really meant to be used in other programs, since it is more complicated than parsing DER, so using a separate program to convert to DER will be better in order to avoid adding such a complexity into programs that do not need them), and I wrote a program that implements that.

You are referring to ITAR. Under ITAR, permanent residents are considered US Persons and not subject to export controls. Clearance is a totally different thing that people often confuse with ITAR, which is only granted to US citizens, and though it is possible to grant something somewhat like clearance to non us citizens, it is almost never done.

Edit: Ah I see you are not disagreeing with what I said at all. Apologies, I cannot count the number of times I have seen in reddit and here, where people confuse ITAR with clearance.

> beware that smug elitism turns people off

I don't know what caused this reaction. Was the OP being smug or elite? I did not read it that way. If anything, in my experience, C++ and Rust folks are way more smug/elite compared to Perl hackers.

In my experience, the biggest problem with Perl is readability. Python crushes it. Without list comprehension, it is also very slow during for loops. But, no worries: Most people writing Python don't care too much about speed, or they are using C libraries, like NumPy or Pandas or SciPy. I write this as someone who wrote Perl for years, personally and professionally. Later in my career, I came into Python, and realised it was so much easier to read and maintain large code bases, compared to Perl. To be fair, much like C, it is possible to write very clear Perl, but people quickly get carried away, using insane syntax. With Python, the whole culture, from the bottom up, is about readability, simplicity, and accessibility. I think my only "gripe" about Python is there are no references like Perl, but you can fake it with single-item-lists.
Ok - I'm not saying that I believe Jesus was born of a virgin and placed within the womb by an angel, I mean maybe, but very very likely Jesus was a man, Joseph was his father or his Mother for away with the biggest lie ever to cover her adultery - obviously either of those things that actually have and do happen are more likely than something that never has, save this one time... maybe.

Jesus said he was the Son of God bc WE - HUMANITY is in fact that. It's not an actual parent child relationship but 2500 years ago Jesus had nothing in his pocket to explain better than the family analogy.

The actual OG basis of almost all religious teachings in almost every religion is that WE are in fact God, living as human, experiencing his creation first hand, as US.

Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and didn't lie even if not true the way we believe it to be. It was also prolly a great way to get attention as he had a Father, ppl must have spoke of that.
