Nah they don't. Anti-"DEI" billionaires like Elon Musk are free to likewise fund research or create "free speech" universities if they so choose. But they choose not to.

You sound like you're pushing a theory that anthropology is biased, what do you have to back that claim up?
For some people, being on the phone for 45 minutes (and what guarantee is there that you'd actually get to talk to them after 45 minutes?) during business hours is simply not an option. They would have to take time off from work, which a) might not be allowed, and b) if allowed would certainly reduce their pay.

Furthermore, there's an entire category of people for whom "talk on the phone" is not an option, period. If they wanted to cancel by the approved method, they'd not only need to take that time themselves, they'd need someone else willing to take that time with them.

> I don't think that's in line with Jesus' teachings of humility and helping the poor etc, especially not given how much money goes and went around in the church.

Hmm, but in the Exodus, the ark of the covenant was glided in gold with cherubs on the four corners. Same with the Jewish Temple, it was probably decked out in marble. Unlike Protestants, Catholicism have arts, choral music and statues and architecture not because they are "worshipping it" but because these things are supposed to direct the mind upwards towards God.

I think the Catholic Mass is the ancient form of worship by the early Church. There's multiple references to the Real Presence in the Eucharist in New Testament (ie. the road to Eramus and the breaking of bread, and in John 6:53*) and the Sanctus is still in the Eucharistic Prayer, and besides, its an obvious break with the Jews who did burnt offerings in the Temple.

John 6:53–58, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

It's not just kids. It would put me on the wrong track too.
There are too many confounding variables. But yes, I think that in a future world where kids who grow up in a stable family can choose to easily move between schooling and the real world (including work experience, travel, alternative education and just the occasional slacking off), you'll see improved outcomes for those who do these other things.

Looks interesting, but the cost is prohibitive for a hobby project. Also, it doesn't really solve my problem.

Google Vision already returns the coordinates of each word (and even of each letter), so it's easy to know where the word was on the page, and even, if necessary, to rebuild the page with the words correctly placed -- that's fundamentally what I do with the mouseover on the interactive demo: https://divers.medusis.net/boislisle/pub (at the paragraph level).

But my problem isn't to know where the words are (Google Vision provides that); it's to know what belongs to what, what is footnotes, what is main text, etc. This is what the post discusses. Just having the text following the same layout as in the original wouldn't help, because I'm not trying to reproduce the layout or the typesetting, I want to rebuild the content semantically, so as to do different "flows".

That said, it got me thinking... there may be an opportunity to do a cheaper version of LLMwhisperer? ;-)

Postulate what?

To me, it's slowly become obvious that Matrix was invented because certain people wanted to ride the trendy wave of VC money propping up Slack and friends back in those days.

Matrix has been all about superlative marketing and over-promises with little substance and theoretical underpinnings to back it up.

The fact that they were spreading FUD and disinformation against XMPP and the alternatives in their early days should have been a red herring. The fact that they haven't stabilized their protocol and made it scalable to mid-level deployments after more than a decade should be a reason for pause. The fact that after so long, due to the sheer complexity of it, only one entity has emerged as willing to sink the costs of Matrix should be a reason for worries.

I think that we are due for an XMPP resurgence. Not that it is perfect by any stretch of mind, but it is no-BS, mature, lightweight on resources and bandwidth and verifiably fit for purpose, whether you want to host small-scale for your family & friends, or for the whole world with the ambition to be the next GTalk, facebook messenger, or whatsapp (all of them XMPP services at one point or another of their histories)
The local pre-Christian burial custom was burning, but other cultures in far-off places still buried their dead. So while Christianity isn't exclusive in its use of burial, it was supplanting religious customs that did not include burial throughout northern Europe.
Ah good point, I guess my hope was that it could be a viable option for general GUI work, since everyone seems to find it really pleasant to use, and Id expect it to be easier to add accesibility features to imgui than to make eg Electron more performant.

Something real you searched for that was hard to find with Google but easy with some other search engine.

By the way I just used Google to look up the
Scandinavian Kitchen restaurant in London it occured to me that Google has a bunch of features the others struggle with - as well as finding it fine, it linked to maps with streetview photos, opening times, decent reviews and the like. I'm not sure the others have much of that.

Also disclosure of interests - I'm a "level 4 Google Guide" which means I've got some imaginary internet points for correcting opening times and the like. I'm also not sure any the other searchers have much community stuff. Well I guess open street map but not so much the others.
Would be nice to redo this experiment with modern languages like Rust, Go, as well as modern "flavors" of Haskell and C++. Maybe throw OCaml in as well.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. On one hand kudos to them for the self-reflection, facing hard truths, and building a really wide set of tools.

But when you look under the hood it's tooling that wraps tooling. The API categorization tool arguably hands off a large portion of the heavy lifting to OpenAI.

"You are a world class categorizer. Fit these APIs into one of these groups."

The rest of the file is just wiring and a little blurring of the lines of model, view, and controller. I saw some testing and was like, okay this is going to be important if you are wrapping a lot of tooling because "change outside of your control" but then it's just a the default contextLoads() functional test Intellij gives that makes sure dependencies exist and nothing fails at compile.

I think the vision is there and it is definitely aligned to the Pareto principle but it feels like the idea was tested that markets aren't interested in maintaining their stuff while internally they haven't even addressed maintaining their own stuff.

Feels like a Catch 22 where if they could address that reason for themselves first then they could probably solve that for other people. But addressing it means having a product that is being used in order to feel the pain and empathize with the end user.

The numbers cited and used in calculations are supported by citations. The purpose of this paper is not to test a hypothesis, or to gather new data, but to think about existing data and new directions of research. This is spelled out in the paper's abstract, which is kind of summary of the whole paper, useful to get a very quick idea about the paper's purpose -- expanded further in the paper's introduction and re-visited again in the paper's conclusion.
that's definitely coming, thanks!
About “can't display general occlusion”, wikipedia calls this a misconception. But it does later state that it requires sacrificing vertical parallax.

> It is often claimed that volumetric displays are incapable of reconstructing scenes with viewer-position-dependent effects, such as occlusion and opacity. This is a misconception; a display whose voxels have non-isotropic radiation profiles are indeed able to depict position-dependent effects.

> the ability to reconstruct scenes with occlusion and other position-dependent effects have been at the expense of vertical parallax, in that the 3D scene appears distorted if viewed from locations other than those the scene was generated for.

Where do they get 10 bits/second?

Heck, I can type way faster than 10 bits per second, even after gzipping the output.

And when I consider the amount of sensory information that I consciously process (not that comes in, but that I conceptually analyze), it's got to be way higher.

10 bits/s doesn't pass the smell test.

The game is interesting, hadn't heard of it before. Regarding strategy, isn't this a solved game? As in, you could calculate every possible combination and every state should have a clear winner with optimal play, no?
Two things come to mind:

1. Negative or even toxic reactions typically tell much more about the ones stating them, but this is easily overlooked in the midst of a heated communication exchange. It shouldn't be forgotten that such people usually do not know nearly enough about what they are reacting to and their reflex is normally just a reaction to their own prejudice or ignorance without any understanding.

2. The best critiques to be used for sharpening one's own ideas are the negative ones, not the comfy positive ones. Only the negative comments make you think more in depth about your own ideas, while the positive ones only strengthen your own cognitive biases and thus undermine the actual validity of your ideas.

It is very hard to remember these two precepts in the heat of a discussion. But if you learn to slow down and abstain from the illusion of "winning" an argument, then such negativities can be turned into a powerful ally against the intentions of those emitting them.

And remember, experienced competitors typically negate one's creativity to secretely take advantage of thus accidently newfound ideas of others while their adversary is still puzzled by this unexpected negativity.

It's all a (serious) game if you are able to put it into proper perspective.
Have you actually tried this? I’ve found yhe Yubikey model is much easier for normal people because they’re used to using physical keys or cards. What’s hard is a) the cost and b) the hassle of having to pair multiple keys, which is where the biometric phone/laptop based solutions are better since it’s one tap for a familiar prompt.
I doubt it's correct to assume groups of humans in Africa one day decided to 'colonize' another place and walked thousands of kilometers to settle down elsewhere. It's probably more like a slow expansion (and reduction) of the settled area, no?

I haven't tried classifying anything as small as a phrase (assuming you've extracted it yet) with SBERT+SVM so I really don't know.

Another thing to consider is a T5 model. A T5 model maps strings to strings so it can be trained to take an input like

"Extract the skills from this resume: ..."

with the output like

"Excel, Pandas, Python, Cold Fusion, C#, ..."

and it will try to do the same. You'll probably still find it makes some mistake that drives you up the wall that need some pre- or post- processing.

Some people claim that the MWI doesn't need the Born rule as a postulate, that it can be deduced from the Schrodinger equation if we just assume that entire universe is described by a universal wavefunction. This is generally why some claim that the MWI is actually the "most serious" interpretation, since it supposedly only has one postulate (that the wavefunction describes the universe), while other interpretations require at least two postulates (the one above, plus the Born rule).

I believe that this is the claim that evanb was making at the beginning of this thread: that you don't need the Born rule, that decoherence (which is to some extent a consequence of the Schrodinger equation, not an extra postulate) is enough to explain how the classical physics we observe in day to day life emerge from the wavefunction description of the universe in QM.

I had a long drive where I listened to The Great Courses, which had a set on early Christianity. I think the professor was from Notre Dame. The early church was wrestling with polytheism (is the OT god seemed really different from the NT god) and it eventually had to get resolved by the Council at Nicaea at Constantine's behest.
> "Jesus" being essentially a mispronunciation

Warning! Unnecessary nit-picking incoming...

Jesus isn't a mispronunciation of Yeshua, it's a transliteration. Initially the Hebrew/Aramaic ישוע was transliterated to the Greek Ἰησοῦς which is essentially a phonetic transliteration with the ending changed to the Greek masculine singular.

That was then transliterated to the Latin Iesus with basically the same deal ie phonetic with an ending change.

And that morphed into Jesus, probably about the 16th century, when the swash 'I' became a 'j' sound.

> more accurately be "Joshua"

It wouldn't really be more accurate; it would just be a transliteration through a different route. The most that can be said is that there are fewer hops.

It would still likely have most of the sounds wrong, esp if Jesus' name was originally pronounced in Galilean Aramaic. As I understand it that wouldn't have pronounced the final 'a' like an 'a' but more like a glottal stop. But that's right on the edge of my knowledge so I could have made the last bit up.
And their effects are multiplied because most people have zero connection with compassion, making them easily fooled by the most bald-faced of liars. We are filled with a world full of people "too stupid to know how stupid they are".

We must utilize and orient our moral compass consciously in accordance with universal compassion, or we are susceptible to the ravings of the powerful, who, as you accurately said, tend to be callously cruel liars who crave only money, power, and pleasure, at the cost of anyone and everyone.

Peace be with you.

Ah I see.

TL;DR; it's possible, but lots of work, and not that huge of a gain in the context of a Ruby JSON parser.

`ruby/json` doesn't use explicit SIMD instructions, some routines are written in a way that somewhat expects compilers to be able to auto-vectorize, but it's never a given.

In theory using SIMD would be possible as proven by SIMDjson, but it's very (edit) UNlikely we'll do it because of multiple reasons.

First for portability, we have to stick with raw C99, no C++ allowed, so that prevent using SIMDjson outright.

In theory, we could implement the same sort of logic with support for various processors that have various level of SIMD support and have runtime dispatch for it would be terribly tedious. So it's not a reasonable amount of complexity for the amount of time I and other people are willing to spend on the library.

Then there's the fact that it wouldn't do as big as a difference as you'd think. I do happen to have made some bindings for simdjson in https://github.com/Shopify/heap-profiler, because I had an use case for parsing gigabytes of JSON, and it helps quite a bit there.

But I'll hopefully touch on that in a future blog post, the actual JSON parsing part is entirely dwarfed by the work needed to build the resulting Ruby objects tree.
I think that concern is quite valid. But it's a choice I guess. I for one would not choose that option for exactly the argument you provide.

The damage caused by having your resource become unusable I think in most or a lot of cases is greater than the damage caused by a key compromise. The first damage is absolute. It will happen if you don't recover in time. The second type of damage is hyperthetical somewhat.

But okay, I expect that there are some use cases where the second sort of damage is more of a concern.

I tried it to train a CNN-based CIFAR10 classifier, which worked well (only a tiny bit worse than Adam, but the difference might go away with hyper parameter tuning), but the optimizer totally failed (loss -> infinity) when training a U-Net for an image segmentation task. I had to increase eps to 1e-4 and decrease lr to 1e-3 so it would not explode, but that made it very slow to converge.

My summary is that the memory savings might be great if it works, but it does not work everywhere.
