If we do X, Y becomes more likely. Y is bad, making a bad thing more likely is bad, therefore doing X has a bad consequence.

That isn't a fallacy at all, it's just an argument that requires you to establish its premises, like all sound arguments. People call it a fallacy as a pejorative when they want to dismiss the legitimate concern and shut down the debate even in the cases where the premise is correct.

They're also static, so animals can just avoid them. Their blades spin a hundred feet above the water.

Ships move around so their sounds can be anywhere. Their propellers spin in the water. And there are way more large ships than offshore windmills.
I just recently got sclerals for dry eyes and I'm still going through the adjustment process. Usually they are prescribed for keratoconus (misshaped cornea) and not something most people need. The doctor actually said it's more challenging putting it on someone without keratoconus (like me) because I am used to having fairly good vision with my glasses and sclerals aren't as easy to get right as glasses/normal contacts. They have been amazing for dry eyes so far though.
>That doesnt make him prejudiced

It is literally the dictionary definition of prejudice.

From Merriam-Webster[1]:

>1. b (1) - an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge

They directly said "two dudes kissing... feels wrong to me but when I try to come up with an explanation I have none." That is an "adverse opinion" they immediately admit to holding "without just grounds".

To be honest, I agree with you, and I think this is the right approach to life if you have a strong preference for languages. I think this only gets a bad name when people aren't upfront about their preferences and skills, with a lot of people having bad experiences with a go zealot at some point.
I have a 4070 plugged into an intel haswell era (2013?) as my personal desktop machine. it runs most midrange games pretty ok, although helldivers 2 (AAA title) is a bit of a dog even at low resolutions. For personal desktop tasks I haven't had much need to upgrade past that. Probably just about ready to buy a new motherboard/cpu combo for it for another dozen years or so.

This is very interesting, clearly there's a major pain point here to be addressed, especially the delta between local pandas work and distributed [pyspark] work!

Why I choose Lua for this blog
Anyone can go build a web browser if they want to. Google just happens to be the company with the best overlap between competence and motivation to make it comfortable for users to use the internet. Since the world has a pretty good read on which company has the best competence/motivation overlap, it is silly to try and ban them from maintaining a web browser. The next best alternative isn't going to be as good.

Also, would it kill the lawyers to include an abstract that doesn't use the words "whereas" and MENTALLY unsound STYLE capitalisation?

There isn't a single authoritative reference. It really depends on what you're doing. Numerical analysis and scientific computing are huge fields. If you have a specific area you're interested in, I can probably point you in the right direction. (Source: I did a PhD and postdoc in this field and research and develop numerical methods every day in industry. I have... a lot of books on this topic.)

Wild to me that pieces like this ignore Wolfram and specifically his computational irreducibility. Much more precise rendition of the equivalent but less robust concept undecidability. The key insight he arrives at is that predicting/modeling a system is itself a computational process and the ability of a modeler to make computationally less expensive predictions is dependent both on their own computational capability and the nature of the computation. It is very neat and precise and systematic. "Next level" chaos is just more poor imprecise metaphor.

Yes I agree 100%, although I admit the reptilian response might never fully attenuate.

Which leads me to, is public nudity/display of sex something we feel is wrong based on fear or disgust? Or because there is a scientific basis of degraded life outcomes? There can be health hazards in say most indoor spaces but for say printed material those biohazard don't exist. I'm seeking to find if I'm being a reptile here.
I understand the criticism that languages should be pragmatic choices they serve the strengths of the project at hand, but I guess I always found most projects boasting they’re written in a specific language or framework are doing so precisely because of the overarching interest in the language itself, which seems like a perfectly valid justification for such projects to me.

I’ve seen the more cynical hype-driven stuff, but it’s inevitably superficial on first glance, where I have seen some real curiosity and exploration in many “Project X - Built In Rust/Go/Cobol/D/Whatever” and I think they’re exploring the dynamics of the language and tooling as much as anything else.
I've done some intro to lean things, but no one in the maths program is into lean, so I'm just focusing on the math side. Terry Tao is big into the idea of lean tho, and combining LLMs with Lean.
Every time I build something complex with dataframes in either R or Python (Pandas, I haven't used Polars yet), I end up really wishing I could have statically typed dataframes. I miss the security of knowing that when I change common code, the compiler will catch if I break a totally different part of the dashboard for instance.

I'm aware of Pandera[1] which has support for Polars as well but, while nice, it doesn't cause the code to fail to compile, it only fails at runtime. To me this is the achilles heel of analysis in both Python and R.

Does anybody have ideas on how this situation could be improved?

That’s probably true. I’m just an amateur.

I was deceived by the AI and thought, "If what it's saying is actually true, this could be serious."
So, I took a small action in the real world.

After everything settled down, I told people around me about it, and they just laughed.

But AI is not used only by IT engineers.

There are entire genres of research devoted to this.
> We literally know exactly what is going on with every layer.

Unless I missed a huge break in the observability problem, this isn't correct.

We know exactly how every layer is designed and we know how we functionally expect that to work. We don't know what actually happens in the model at time of inference.

I.e. we know what pieces were used to build the thing but when we actually use it its a black box - we only know inputs and outputs.
That’s why learning foreign languages is useful. You can’t really understand grammar if your native language never requires you to think about it.

I'm not talking about trade with the EU I'm taking about actions taken by the "fatherland" party combined with visits by US secretary of state who was vocal about the party leader being arrested, who Russia wanted imprisoned, who was imprisoned by the Ukrainian people after a trial for corruption (in effect having stolen money from Russia)...

This same political party which fails to make it into a significant position of power at home but still engages openly with foreign diplomatic entities close to or in the whitehouse included. Nothing conspiratorial, just 100% fact. Again this does not justify any military action, this is just the scene as things were before the war.

This is akin to the reform party in the UK negotiating with China or the liberal party in the USA negotiating with the EU. It could, should and would be shutdown by the ruling party unless it benefited them in some way.

Again imagine if a nation went through a revolution on the doorstep of America then Russia was to move to support this revolution unilaterally through arming them and supporting them. Regardless of subtitles this is the optics as seen by Russia. We know Ukraine was armed because otherwise there would be tanks in Kiev. Again this doesn't justify any military action, but the fact this happened behind the scenes and wasn't transparent concerns people.

Everybody knows there's Russian assets in Georgia now, this could be benign military aid and rest or could be nuclear first strike assets. Given the lack of transparency we have to assume the latter, that is how risk assessment works.

Can confirm that this is definitely the case. Working at BigTech company to "make the world a better place" can actually feel like it makes some sort of sense because - especially if you're on a team that ships a highly visible product - you have a lot of customers, so even small improvements have an outsized effect.

And it takes a while for a young dev to register that the goals that the larger organization pursues are going to win out in the end anyway.

Almost literally everyone that tried to build a web browser gave up and just reskins Chrome now. Of the two outliers, one exists only because its very successful hardware vendor preloads it and disallows competitors, and the other is mostly funded by Chrome's owner anyway.

Basically: without Chrome, Firefox dies (Mozilla is mostly a zombie now already) and Apple closes up shop on Safari a-la IE6. The end result of an order like this will be the death of the world wide web as a platform for new applications.
> It's "using the research," which (if the research is unreliable) is just as bad whether it's for specific people or to make broad statements about an issue.

It's bad in a very different way, with a different level of impact. And there are ethical issues with that kind of use even if the research is right which don't exist with the broad statements they were suggesting.

> If you want to direct resources to groups "likely to experience violence" based on other statistics anyway, then you don't need this type of research to do it.

You do if you're trying to convince people to allocate the money, because longer lasting damage makes it more important.

> And if you're going to use this type of research in support of that, then it is just as important that it's accurate as it would be if you were using it at an individual level.

It's not. The consequences of screwing up individual diagnoses are much worse than the consequences of a funding campaign having a false premise.
> No personal information is shared.

You'd know the state they're a legal resident of as they use state-specific keys used for signatures.

If the request allows checking arbitrary ages like Apple's, then you can get their age with a handful of requests. If one has to verify every visit, then you can get exact birthdate eventually.

If the one verifying has to pass data to the verifier site or the request to the verifier has any site/app/company-specific IDs (again, Apple), then you're leaking what you're visiting to the verifier.

And not to beat a dead horse, but as long as there are jurisdictions that don't require age verification in the world, children can easily use a free VPN or proxy to avoid checks altogether at which point, one has to ask, why do it at all?
You interview them first.

> But when you can trace specific lifestyle improvements, like being able to read, to specific pieces of legislation, I think that argument is lazy.

What legislation are you talking about here?

In general I'm all for regulations and laws that protect our rights from being taken from us and wary of laws that stop us from doing what we want (as long as what we want doesn't block others' rights).

I've heard that distinction made before as additive versus subtractive laws. Now I can't remember which is which and I don't want to say it backwards, but the distinction of laws that preserve rights rather than impede free will is really important.
And how can you attribute this decline to specific laws? Seems it could be a result of many things such as public education & cancer outcomes becoming obvious.

If anything the tech itself is a nuisance that pulls their attention from where they’d rather have it, which is anywhere else.

This is a groundbreaking shit, and it's not about checkerboards or lizards. The Navier-Stokes differential equation governing fluid motion is an update rule that predicts the next state of any given point given its neighborhood and a few previous states. The key insight is that all the complexity of the fluid and air motion, the formation of clouds and the motion of flames, is governed by a simple law, by an equation that's uniformly and simultaneously applied to each point in space and all it needs is the immediate neighborhood of that point and its immediate history. Discovering this equation by looking at real-life samples is what's called science. It should be possible in principle to apply this DLCA model to a video recording of smoke, constrained to a thin 2D layer for simplicity, and let this model derive the Navier-Stokes equation. When you take this one step further and consider that the update rule itself may be changing according to another update rule, we'll get into some interesting territory. This might be why in our brain neurons are connected to a neighborhood of thousand neurons instead of just ten or so.

Following the tradition, Google execs are going to dismiss this discovery as irrelevant to the ads business, and a couple years later when DLCA will have turned the world upside down, they'll try to take credit saying it's their employees who have made the discovery.

Didn't Mozilla make it's money on search? If so, how would Chrome disappearing kill Firefox which is independently developed and funded differently?

On responding Chrome, I'll add that's partly because Google controlled Search and Chrome which helped Chrome get dominant. Then, web site owners made pages good for Chrome by default. Then, it was harder to compete with Chrome since everyone had to imitate it. If it's independent (or even weakened), that might reverse a bit. Might not.
