> What matters isn't that an AI "make connections", it's that the AI generates some text that causes a human to make the connections.

This has been true since Waze and Google maps first came out. Some of the suggestions were like "Huh, I never thought of going that way... hey this works... good job Waze!" and some were like "No Waze, I'm not going to try to cross eight lanes of free-flowing traffic at rush hour."

What sucks is when an AI bot hallucinates some transgression and bans you from a monopoly marketplace for life, with no human recourse. Ask me how I know.
When I lived in town, on a street that was somewhat common for people to walk down, twice (that I know of) someone had walked up, tried to open my door, then walked off after finding it locked. The amount of work to break into that house was quite minimal, but apparently a locked door did help.
That's a common refrain, but an inaccurate one.

Musk was heavily involved in the engineering efforts at SpaceX. NASA struggled to keep up with his continual and extremely detailed stream of questions regarding engineering choices, with an obsessive and relentless focus on blueprints.

The list of engineering achievements and innovations (often unorthodox) is too long to list in a comment, but I highly recommend the book The Space Barons by Christian Davenport [0]. It's a fantastic read.

Of course Clojure has to ultimately be compiled into a native format for the host platform, bytecode in the case of the JVM implementation, but that doesn't require type checking in the same way Java does.

Clojure functions are compiled into implementations of clojure.lang.IFn - you can see from https://clojure.github.io/clojure/javadoc/clojure/lang/IFn.h... that this interface simply has a number of overloads of an invoke method taking variable numbers of Object parameters. Since all values can be converted to Object, either directly for reference types or via a boxing conversion, no type checking is required to dispatch a call. With a form like

(some-fn 1, "abc", (Object.))

the some-fn symbol is resolved in the current context (to a Var for functions defined with defn), the result is cast (not checked!) to an instance of IFn and the call to the method with required arity is bound. This can go wrong in multiple ways: the some-fn symbol cannot be resolved, the bound object doesn't implement IFn, the bound IFn doesn't support the number of supplied arguments, the arguments are not of the expected type. Clojure doesn't check any of these, whereas the corresponding Java code would.

Protocol methods just get compiled into an implementation of IFn which searches for the implementation to dispatch to based on the runtime type of the first argument, so it doesn't introduce static type checking in any way.
If you want all the clicks and comments and drama you can get, staying professional is just boring.

Professionalism minimizes the risk of derailing or devaluing your argument by you being rude, inappropriate, etc. and avoids aggravating your counterparty. If - as in this case - the goal is NOT Internet drama but rather an improvement in security - the best way to do that would be to remain professional.

It is a question for the author of the piece which angle they prefer - consider that keeping it cool calm and collected is the slow way to build an audience.. even if the audience it builds is more engaged.
> gives the issue a bi-partisan spin

Credentials. Not spin. The farmers are actually calling for this.
Looking at the actual article (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-54178-1), their procedure does actually use deep learning in the process of synthesizing candidate chip designs, and the use of deep learning is key to their work. In particular, it looks like the final process is a genetic algorithm that interacts with a deep learning model that predicts the performance of candidate chips. It seems like trying to simulate the chip analytically to predict performance was far too inefficient, and replacing that part with a deep learning model made this entire procedure possible. So in summary, nothing in this article is called AI that has not been called AI before. Most importantly it produces novel designs "globally" without a human in the loop whereas one was required before. I think calling that AI-designed is pretty reasonable.

On a very high level, the role of deep learning here seems similar to AlphaGo (which is also the combination of a less novel generic optimization algorithm, Monte Carlo tree search, with deep learning-provided predictions). I don't think anyone would debate that AlphaGo is fundamentally an AI system. Maybe if we are to be really precise, both of these systems are optimization guided by heuristics provided by deep learning.
> Jevons paradox

That depends on the demand elasticity of the thing in question. If everyone already had about all the lights they wanted in their homes (a somewhat reasonable assumption, give or take a proportion of families turning off lights religiously), making them cheaper wouldn't make you go out and buy more lights -- certainly not enough to make up for the cheaper cost.

Stated somewhat differently, when you switched from incandescents to LEDs, did you add more or less than 8x the total lumens to your home? I'm guessing quite a bit less. My apartment is a little small, but I couldn't manage 8x if I doubled the brightness in every room and always left every light on. No lighting efficiency improvements are going to convince me to go beyond that threshold.

The point about households on aggregate finding ways to use more electricity doesn't apply because it's not power those houses now have in comparative excess, but rather dollars -- you don't have to buy as much power to do the things you want, so you have more dollars and can choose to spend them on additional electricity consumption or massively inflated rent or a vacation or whatever. The _unit cost_ of electricity (note that Jevons paradox applies to unit costs, not substituted goods or alternative sources of income or savings) didn't change by making lighting more efficient (and, as you've noted, has gotten more expensive), so you're not incentivized more than you already were to spend those dollars on electricity consumption instead of other things you could buy instead.
> to justify decisions made out of personal ego

Yes, and no.

Sure, Trump is using all kind of tricks to put pressure against his trade partners to secure some wins that will solidify him as a change agent to boost America, which will appeal to his electoral base. At the same time, it may actually bring good results to the US economy, bringing major investments in the country and negotiating better trade deals.

You may not agree with the means to get there, but you can't deny there's an argument to be made about his "America first" policies and why it could benefit the average people in the long run.
The various iterations all look quite attractive, and the final one especially looks kind of like if an Apple IIc and a computer from Brazil had a baby -- in a good way! I congratulate the creator on producing so much real hardware and not just renders; I've designed and made hardware and it's hard as hell!

But I've also written a pretty good bit (not just code documentation and emails but fiction, short stories), and it's also hard as hell, and like a lot of people who want to write things I've dabbled with all sorts of instruments that I'm convinced will finally be the trick to make the words come out good.

I've used legal pads, and composition books, and spiral notebooks, and grid paper notepads.

I've written with pencils, and ballpoints, and fountain pens, and dip pens with a whole variety of nibs and inks (admittedly that was mostly just for fun).

I've written in Acme on Plan 9, in Emacs and Vi on Linux, in Google Docs on a cheap Chromebook, and in BBEdit on a Mac SE/30. I've also used a mechanical typewriter, a Selectric electric typewriter, and an AlphaSmart Neo 2.

So I say the following from experience:

1. Writing is difficult to do well, regardless of how you're getting the words down.

2. It's easy to distract yourself, regardless of how you're getting the words down.

3. One of the easiest ways to accomplish #2 is by dreaming about the next perfect writing tool that will really make your writing sing just as soon as you muster up the courage to click "Buy".

4. Once you get your latest writing toy^H^H^Htool, it's easier to write blog posts about it than to write the things you actually want to write but are deep down too timid to try.

In summary, I applaud Unkyu for making these, and I don't think they're likely to help you write better.

edit: Anybody in the San Francisco area who has been dreaming about an AlphaSmart Neo 2 as the perfect writing machine that will finally take their writing to the next level, dig up my email address and you can have mine for free, I don't use it any more.
The root notation is a syntax with a place for a number, to specify the degree. For instance ∛ -> cube root(s). When the degree is 2, it can be omitted.

So yes, the notation conceals something: its default value.

Depends how concerned you are about pesticides.
I don't disagree with you from the perspective of someone who is already in the community and already has the experience to make that choice, but I think this question is slightly more complicated for someone with zero Clojure experience. More than once I have seen people confused on whether they should be using Lein, Boot, the first-party CLI, Maven, Shadow CLJS, Figwheel, or something else entirely.

Fruits are kind of amazing. A tasty apple cut up into slices is more delicious than more or less any concoction Mars & co. can come up with.

Even more "gnarly" stuff like figs, eating them just generates such a positive reaction. And something like mango if you're lucky enough to live in places with it... If you don't have to deal with cutting it up, that's something amazing.

Getting fruit from some farm way far off in the distance to me is a feat of logistics. I always feel a bit stupid about how I reach for convenient stuff because I don't want to take a 5 minute break to do a bit of prep and cleanup.

This is something I believe in. How can one get more involved in this? (Beyond donating)
I think it'd be interesting to see this implemented more like a crossword, with everything on a grid (though a 1D grid in this case). Then you could see how many letters you're looking for (which helps avoid some ambiguities that I see mentioned here in the comments), and the clues could be moved out of the solving area. The wrapping of the areas that I was trying to solve really threw me, especially when the final result was so much shorter.
Lol, good one.
Neat! I've been getting into crossword puzzles recently, does anyone know of nice places to play them, other than newspaper sites?
Was confused about this part the last time I saw this posted online:

> With a mighty Pearson's correlation of 0.091, the data indicates that this could be true!

This sounds like op thinks the data supports the hypothesis.

One would assume a negative result for the hypothesis would occur when there is a bias in the upper left quadrant, where shortest distance and highest score intersect, and looking at the graphs in figures 8 and 9, to me, there appears a bias there.

> Because making the U.S. solvent

1. None of Elon's actions have anything to do with making the US solvent. Congress sets the US budget, not the president. And they're raising the debt ceiling to pay for tax breaks (primarily benefitting the wealthy) not lowering it. That's where any savings (which are minimal) will go.

The real savings -- if Congress does it -- will be to gut Medicaid. That has nothing to do with DOGE for one, and secondly, it will have a huge negative impact on not only lower income Americans but many others (because of the knock on impact of reducing funding to nursing homes etc.)

2. The US is the larger debtor nation, but because it issues debt denominated in its own currency, it essentially holds a get out of jail card.
> anti-trump sentiment, which is more pan-political

If such sentiment was across the political spectrum, he wouldn't have been voted in. The notion that what people think in your bubble is what everyone thinks is what leads to conspiracy theories like "Stop the steal", and it has a chilling effect on actually engaging with people who might be voting against their own interests (or maybe even challenging your own cherished viewpoint on something)

Since I don't have an expendable army, I must be either an idiot or a troglodyte. Where my understanding falters is finding a domain where accuracy and truth aren't relevant. In your example you said nothing about a "phased rollout", is that even germane to this scenario? Is there appreciable "financial risk?" Are you personally qualified to make that judgement? You put your name at the bottom of this letter and provided absolutely no evidence backing the claim, so you'd best be ready for the shitstorm. I don't think HR will smile kindly on the "uh idk chatgpt did it" excuse.
There's enough bandwidth to go around nowadays that alarms can send regular keepalives (which doesn't mean all of them do).

If the keepalives stop coming without a proper disarm signal, a fault is raised.

Some old alarms had a weaker version of this, where they would dial the security company whenever the door was opened, and then again when the alarm was disarmed. If the second call didn't come in time, the company would instantly know that something was up.

This protected against thieves that would enter the house and smash the alarm before it had time to activate.

> You're taking that as a prior when in reality US FoPo prefers political stability after the Cold War. You need to get a grip here if you're seeing everything through the lens of dubious paranoia, if not just leftist resentment.

I should rephrase that to "political instability with regards to the perspective of locals".

I agree the US is seeking "political stability" with these activities. But it's on US terms which is often in direct opposition to the locals.

And I'd argue my view is not "dubious paranoia". The purpose of USAID is to use development activities as a cover for interference in other country's politics.

There is no way Apple as a public company could just burn cash getting everything made in the US, shareholders would revolt long before the money ran out.

> And I don't care that it's better for their stock price; that's Apple's problem not mine as a US citizen.

That is the shareholder’s problems. People like to think that their investments won’t go batsh*t insane overnight.

> And even as an Apple investor I would rather the money be spent on US on-shore operations.

Apple doesn’t even make all, or even most of its money in the states. Not all of its shareholders are American, if they went this route they could lose half of their revenue overnight (as other countries note the protectionism and tariff or simply forbid Apple products from being sold).

The "European system" is an international convention (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Sign...), and the advantages of it is that the meaning of the signs is the same no matter which country you're driving in.

Seems too simplistic and centric to one particular country / system / ideology.

Laws and courts can be and are made oppressive and used against the people by a tyrannical government.

Taking power away from [government] is not necessarily fascism. It really depends what and why. If it is a rogue court that is protecting corrupt politicians and human rights abusers? What really matters is the power the government as a whole has over the people.

There has recently been a lot of noise from American left wing about the Supreme Court being corrupt, illegitimate, politicized, etc., etc., and calls to reduce its powers, for example.

You could call that "fascistic" I suppose, but I'm not really here to get bogged down in semantics, my point is that the types of real or imagined enemies of political movements very much run the spectrum.
In the modular synth/music world, this is sometimes referred to as GAS… gear acquisition syndrome.

Anarchy argues that supreme executive power should not rest in a ceremonially selected individual but instead derive from a mandate from the masses.

Yes that’s paraphrasing Monty Python. But real anarchism isn’t the rejection of all authority, just the rejection of hierarchies of power in favour of ideas of collective responsibility and decision making.

The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden helped me a lot. I've read it 3 or 4 times.

Yeah. A random mid-range Marriott probably has an utterly boring hotel restaurant serving fairly mid-range mostly boring fare. You get up to the high-end and you're much more likely to get restaurants that don't really seem like hotel restaurants at all.
Kinda but I think "there is no AI revolution" is overdoing it. If he said the AI revolution is a bit rubbish and overpriced I could go with it. This time is different from the past so called AI bubbles in that current hardware is around human level whereas in the previous ones it was nowhere near. Also I don't remember a major investment boom like this in the past? I think the Japanese put aside $850m for their "Fifth Generation project" which flopped, but nothing on the current scale.

I used to be pretty shy and quiet. I'm not exactly "loud" these days perse, but I can walk into a place and strike a conversation if it's socially acceptable.

For keeping myself up, I keep in mind that even if I end up in a bad position, I'm a smart guy. I've navigated myself out of tough spots before just fine, and I can do it again. As much as I can, I hold my own self worth, and don't base it on other people's opinions of me.

For dealing with other people, something I realized was that everybody else is usually too preoccupied in themselves to think that hard about what anyone else is doing. Chances are, even if you embarrass yourself, the other person will have forgotten it within a day unless you're particularly close to them. And even if their opinion of you does shift a bit negative, are they someone whose opinion you really value?

Of course I care what my friends think, my boss, my romantic partner, family; but if one person outside of that has a problem with me, that doesn't have to affect me in any way. I just be as cool as I can with everyone and anything on their end is on them.
