Taiwan was authoritarian until the 1990s-2000s.

And Vietnam isn't that much better than India (I travel to both 3-4 times a year because of family).

If you're in D1 or D3 of HCMC maybe, but that's not where the majority of Saigon residents live - they mostly live in D10, D8, or D4 which don't look much different from similar neighborhoods in most of Urban India.

And once you go to rural Vietnam, I've noticed the quality of life is worse than those in the villages my extended family lives in back in India, because most spending is basically given to a handful of cities.

My wife's ancestral village in VN has dirt roads, a single primary school, and no doctor, and social services such as direct welfare transfers are nonexistent. On the other hand, my ancestral village in North India has a wind turbine factory, an electric battery factory, and farmers and residents get around $50-150/mo in direct benefits transfer.

A "China" or "South Korea" model doesn't make sense for a democracy like India (or even Indonesia or Phillipines, which share similar issues). A "Turkiye" or "Israel" model makes more sense for these kinds of countries.

Presumably, people aren't including unvetted code regardless of whether or not it was AI generated. If they are, that's a much larger problem than AI, and the problem is the human.
One thing we've been talking about is creating tasks that are a bit more 'tower defence', where biters are released every X steps / seconds. The idea would be to test agents in building a military-industrial complex. One amusing issue we had in developing this idea is that frontier models have an aversion to creating entities called 'GunTurret' etc - as it goes against their constitution! (perhaps we should rename turrets to 'SuperSoaker' or something)

Regarding layout optimisation benchmarks, we actually discussed this yesterday. I think we need 2 types of layout task: 1) fix this subtly broken factory, and 2) improve the throughput of this factory. These should be straightforward to implement, if you'd like to have a look.

Honestly your’s is the naive take here:

> You’re not going to do business in a cartel/mafia infested area

Mexico’s financial life is not cartel infested and certainly was not in the 60-70s when Slim got started

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim

Slim didn’t come into money in a narco state, he was a stock trader in the 1960s and got into finance and insurance

Eventually turned this into buying the Mexican telecom monopoly Telmex in the 90s, just as the internet was taking off.

He sure as hell did not have to pay off drug lords for that
The product of 3 years of modeling ethical systems of the ultimate future, I call it Static Place AI, I think it's Xerox PARC moment right now, please steelman:

I think we’ll need a GUI for the models to democratize interpretability and let even gamers explore them. Basically to train another model, that will take the LLM and convert it into 3D shapes and put them in some 3D world that is understandable for humans.

**

Simpler example: represent an LLM as a green field with objects, where humans are the only agents:

You stand near a monkey, see chewing mouth nearby, go there (your prompt now is “monkey chews”), close by you see an arrow pointing at a banana, father away an arrow points at an apple, very far away at the horizon an arrow points at a tire (monkeys rarely chew tires).

So things close by are more likely tokens, things far away are less likely, you see all of them at once (maybe you’re on top of a hill to see farther). This way we can make a form of static place AI, where humans are the only agents.

And behind the "chewing monkey", you can see bananas, apples and tires (popular, average and unpopular next tokens), basically the future possible tokens. This way you have some "Multiversal Typewriter" by seeing 100s or 1000s of objects and subtitles under them. Both next tokens and future tokens, this way you can write stories, posts and possibly code that will be yours, you're the only agent but augmented by this non-agentic static place AI.

**

The problem is to map higher dimensional space onto 4D visualizations (as jgord said).

I think at least some lossy “compression” into a GUI is possible. The guy who’ll make the GUI for LLMs is the next Jobs/Gates/Musk and Nobel Prize Winner (I think it’ll solve alignment by having millions of eyes on the internals of LLMs), because computers became popular only after the OS with a GUI appeared. I recently shared how another one of those “multiversal apps” possibly can look (I call it "Spacetime Machine"): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43319726

We'll also need an analog of a browser in this Static Place AI OS.

We need game developers and gamers, to have millions of eyeballs on the internals of multimodal LLMs (to democratize the interpretability them).

I was thinking and modeling the ultimate future of humanity (possibly billions of years from now) for 3+ years, you can find more in my profile. I also have the binary ethics that is based on Feynman's quantum path integrals and CBT, everything is based on a binary tree of freedoms (choices) and unfreedoms. Each agent is just a sum of freedoms (choices) and unfreedoms. I call it "physicalization of ethics", I have some primitive code I shared that basically can create a very crude model of all the agents evolving from the Big Bang all the way to final dystopia or utopia, check the link in my profile to see a screenshot

I think maybe there's an important different ethical and practical situation with genuinely foreign aid (rich countries sending resources to poor countries which have their own government, systems, regulations etc) vs a colonizing power that's effectively already in control of the area in which they helped form the crisis. The British were exporting food from Ireland and India in both of those crises. British land speculators bought Irish land and raised the rents and evicted farmers -- i.e. people already engaged in producing food were forced to stop.

So foreign aid may make governments less accountable to their people. But colonial governments don't start off being accountable to their people. The "aid" that the British ruling class said would create dependence can only be understood in the context of the intense extractive practices that were already in place.

> Yes, a famine is a special case where aid is necessary in the short term, but it’ll be a disaster and destroy local agriculture output if continued in the long term.

... but because Ireland was still exporting food to Britain, "aid" in the form of keeping Irish food to feed Irish people would clearly still have supported local agriculture. Not evicting farmers would have supported local agriculture. This is structurally different from shipping American grain to Afghanistan.

I’m not sure in what way do you think US “financed Hitler and Mussolini” (or whatever’s going on in your head for that matter..)

But it’s a weird thing to say when the USSR/Stalin literally bankrolled the Nazi invasions of Norway and France (whatever the financing they got from the US USSR contributed a few magnitudes more).

Germany had no oil after Poland and its not far fetched that France/Britain could have just waited it out had the Soviets not bailed them out.

That’s not true. Trump cried about NATO last term. So he effectively gave everyone years of warning. What’s sudden about it?

> Europeans, Canadians (and others of course) genuinely feel threatened. People are anxious.

Have we forgotten history so soon? It wasn’t too long ago that Europeans for example were invaders themselves. I mean Britain took over what was before the US and then independence made the US of today. The US isn’t pulling new tricks. It’s what the Europeans taught them to begin with.

> Maybe you don't believe it.

What I don’t believe is the invaders are fearing about being invaded.

When were they? See above. Sounds like we're missing the history of how US came to existence.

Man Convicted on Allegedly Fabricated Bite Mark Analysis May Be Executed Anyway

There are three types of loss: destruction, discoverability, and synthesis.

Destruction is the one most people think of. The last tape is destroyed, or someone nukes everything in S3. Policies normally save this from happening, bit not always. (I note that lawyers are pretty good at saving things because of discovery, so perhaps corporations should sue themselves more often /s)

Discoverability is when the data is there, but noone knows where it is. This is your classic corpo Sharepoint/teams/slack problem. There was a chat, once, with some shared files, from their onedrive, but the last person who remembered where was laid off a year ago and...well, that data is effectively lost. I dont think we have great solutions here except writing even more things down and hoping that everyone follows rules like keeping all files in one place

The last case is where the data is located, but noone can vouch for it any more. Internal wiki pages are notorious here. People post about, say, some sharp edge they uncovered, and the page sits there for all eternity. You discover it years later. Can you trust it? Is there anyone who knows why the page still exists? It blocks the synthesis of what you know with what the author knew.
That's a bummer, easy money / government welfare for businesses absolutely sucks out the entrepreneurial spirit and opportunities for a nation IMO.
I don't think it's that simple - if other people find out English bookies overrate England, then they make a profit by betting against. I'm not saying every market is perfectly efficient but it would be surprising if a major inefficiency lasted for a while. And if "enough" bets are placed the set odds will always be an unbiased estimate of the true odds.

> Democrats are screwed on economic messaging until they join Republicans in dropping neoliberalism.

I disagree. What we're witnessing today is that while people are happy with many of the fruits of globalization (cheap Chinese junk, cheap flights, ability to travel anywhere, remote work, etc, etc) our politicians have just about done everything in their power to increase the price of the things that actually matter: housing, healthcare, childcare, and education.

A Democrat party that could actually deliver on these things (rather than exacerbate the problems as they have done) would fare far better electorally. No need to put in place unpopular, destructive tariffs.

Because nothing the OP stated is true... The difference between a superior product in war is the difference between winning and losing, not a cost control mechanism. a f35 would destroy a fleet of other aircraft, VTOL land on an aircraft carrier, and be launching a second volley before any other aircraft even had radar signature of the f35.

>We don’t want the US’ stuff anymore and the only thing that can save that relationship is full software control.

This is not how this works... You do have full software control when doing deals of this size. However, that does not mean that you have to provide software updates. The program in question is about find the different frequency's the russians are using so the f-16 can continue it's jamming capabilities. This is not "Full source control" It's whether the US should be using US Cyber Assets to be manually update the frequency's detected.

> 'finding if a string is a substring of another string'

Unless you mean using a "substring" function or regexes... coming up with the naïve O(n^2) algorithm is indeed easy, but finding a fast algorithm like KMP is, I would say, non-trivial?

For the "second-largest number in array" it's rather easy to come up with an O(n) algorithm, so I would consider the two cases to be different.
> But these technical fixes are expensive

Maybe if you measure it solely by monetary value, but if you consider will power to be a finite resource as well then the calculation changes.
Yes, this seems to be more related to the lawsuit the board settled after the court established malfeasance on their behalf.
I agree that functions should probably specify their output type, MOSTLY to enforce that all paths that return from that function must adhere to that type

I've seen plenty of regressions where someone added a new condition to a function and then returned a slightly different type than other branches did, and it broke things

However, I don't think there is much value in putting types on variable declarations

In your example,

`const checkedDoggos = checkDogs([])` is good. Just let checkedDoggos inherit the type from the function

I have a codebase I'm working on where the linter enforces

`const checkedDoggos: DogBreedAndSize[] = checkDogs([])`

It is very silly and doesn't add much value imo

Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote, compared to Harris's 48.2%, giving him a margin of 1.6% (approximately 2.3 million votes).

This margin ranks as one of the smallest in modern history, smaller than Joe Biden's 4.45% margin in 2020 and smaller even than George W. Bush's narrow win in 2004 (2.46%).

Trump won 312 Electoral College votes to Harris's 226, marking a margin of 86 votes.

This is larger than his 2016 victory (304-227) and Biden's 2020 win (306-232), but it does not approach historical landslides like Reagan's 1984 victory (525-13) or Lyndon B. Johnson's in 1964 (486-52).

Trump's popular vote margin is the fifth smallest since 1960, ie #12 in the last 17 largest, #13 by vote % margin.

> Trump did not win by a little bit.

Yeah, he did.

Why wont google index your ai content? Its slop that nobody wants to read.
I 100% agree with this. One of the best compliments I ever got (regarding programming) was from one of my principal engineers who said something along the lines of "your code reads like a story". He meant he could open a code file I had written, read from top to bottom and follow the 'narrative' in an easy way, because of how I'd ordered functions, but also how I created declarative implementations that would 'talk' to the reader.

I follow the pure functional programming paradigm which I think lends itself to this more narrative style. The functions are self contained in that their dependencies/inputs are the arguments provided or other pure functions, and the outputs are entirely in the return type.

This makes it incredibly easy to walk a reader through the complexity step-by-step (whereas other paradigms might have other complexities, like hidden state, for example). So, ironically, the most mathematically precise programming paradigm is also the best for the more narrative style (IMHO of course!)

Well it's very connected, you're using the knowledge about block cipher to attack them, even though it's not the "pure mathematical attack", it's still the most widespread attack against current cryptographic systems
The maximum number of rule sets is 50, not rules, as your own link clearly and unambiguously states.

The actual minimum (not maximum) number of supported rules is 30,000:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

In reality, Chrome supports over 10x that. And UBOL doesn't even use/need the minimum, sticking to around 17,000.

So that's plenty to cover all your websites. Which is why UBOL works perfectly fine in practice.
Suppose you want to know whether it will rain on your wedding day. Without any forecast, there are two scenarios you need to prepare for: it will rain, or it won't.

A 50-50 forecast doesn't change anything. You still need to prepare for both scenarios. There's a sense in which it's "useless" even though it's a valid forecast.

Forecasts are most useful when they allow you to eliminate a possibility, so you don't need to prepare for it. This means even something like an 80% chance might be of limited use, if you still need to prepare for the 20% case.

(Gambling and investing are different, because you can accept losses and make up for them with repeated bets. You still need to be prepared for losses, but that's a matter of not betting too much compared to your bankroll.)

Even if the forecasters don't do anything wrong, for many people, presidential election forecasts are of limited use. Either they don't have anything they need to do to prepare, or they still have to prepare for either candidate to win.
my apologies, I mixed up which thread I was looking at. In that study I think gender is used because they are including transgender women as a population of interest, so similar to the other example gender is an aspect of what they are attempting to study, and sex hormones are the means by which it is being studied.

> We expect that our studies would serve to develop potential sex- and gender-specific treatments and recommendations for dosage of therapeutic agents to treat and prevent asthma in cis and transgender women.

It may also be that "sex and gender" is used because it isn't actually known what causes the differences observed in the population and that gendered socialization, treatment, or preferences could be contributing factors. This study for instance found that girls were less likely to see a doctor or get diagnosed with asthma even when controlling for symptom severity.

By size, the Solar System has 4 Mercury-sized bodies: Mercury, Ganymede and Callisto (the 2 bigger of the 4 big satellites of Jupiter), and Titan (satellite of Saturn).

There are also 4 Moon-sized bodies: the Moon, Io and Europa (the 2 smaller of the 4 big satellites of Jupiter), and Triton (satellite of Neptune).

Pluto is smaller than Triton, but not much smaller. It is the next in size after these bodies and it could be considered to belong to the same size class as the Moon-sized bodies, because the next smaller bodies are significantly smaller. While Pluto is not a satellite of Neptune, like the satellites it does not have an independent movement, but one that is connected to the movement of Neptune through an orbital resonance.
The difference is negligible: https://nitter.net/gorhill/status/1792648742752981086 (uBOL appears as adblox).
It matters a lot what the price is of "putin loses." If Putin does in fact lose 5% of the time, but the odds are 3%, you should bet on it. It may feel silly to do that in this instance but consider what happens if you regularly bet in prediction markets. Always betting on the "putin wins" outcome loses money in the long run.
