I disagree with your characterization of these passages. These seem like questions a person reflects on, not self admonishment. For instance:

> > Are you ever going to achieve goodness? Ever going to be simple, whole, and naked—as plain to see as the body that contains you? Know what an affectionate and loving disposition would feel like? Ever be fulfilled, ever stop desiring—lusting and longing for people and things to enjoy? Or for more time to enjoy them? Or for some other place or country—“a more temperate clime”? Or for people easier to get along with? And instead be satisfied with what you have, and accept the present—all of it. And convince yourself that everything is the gift of the gods, ....

> I mean this is a deeply mournful person with an excess of self-admonishment.

To me this is just a person that's reflecting on how the state he desires is somewhat unobtainable. You could read it as admonishment if you really want to, but to me it's more noting that he has a goal he'll never obtain. It's a lot like buddhists reflecting on nirvana.

I think you're being unfair because these are translations, and a different culture. What he's writing doesn't particularly seem casual, but it doesn't reflect a person in deep despair as you seem to think. And even if he was like that inwardly, his outward actions were generally well regarded, so it's not like what he was doing was terrible. I just don't see how any of this reflects badly on stoicism or Marcus.

No offense, but given how you originally confused him for Mark Antony, I get the impression you're just trying to find any evidence that would characterize him in the way you want him to be characterized. I just don't think your summary of his personality really matches who the man actually was. He wasn't a tyrant, or someone deeply depressed. He was depressed occasionally, because he was human. And he probably had more downer entries than a normal person, because as an emperor he frequently had to make life and death decisions. I think he reflects a pretty healthy psyche.

That's such a great pic. I wonder what the sign is supposed to be for, it's not like birds respect signs. What is it telling humans to do?
Excellent responses. Thank you. I would add that the O-1 and the E-2 are probably the best fits to do consulting work for multiple companies in the U.S. but the O-1 requires a relatively high level of achievement and the E-2 requires a "substantial" investment by (in this case) Canadian citizens (which can include investments by you) or Canadian-owned companies and a business plan that shows the hiring of U.S. workers (citizens and permanent residents) over time.
What bothers me about this is not injecting an opinion (it's TechCrunch) but the superficial and ignorant take.

Julius Caesar was not just some "violent dictator" like a Hitler, Stalin, or Putin. He wasn't sending people off to gas chambers, gulags, or out of windows. He was famous for his clemency toward his enemies in the civil war which made him dictator.

Even the title of "dictator" was a legal office in ancient Rome and meant something very different from the modern usage.

Zuck admiring Julius Caesar (which doesn't mean endorsing all his actions) puts him in the company of many of the most successful, ethical, and well informed people in history

You must have a lot of schools. I walked or biked about a mile each way to school starting in third grade (age 8-9), and the only reason I didn't do it a year earlier was that the two other kids who would accompany me were a year younger.

I only got dropped off if it was raining (that can be quite severe and thunderstorms are common) or if I was so late that I couldn't make it. In the latter case, I walked home.

Four years later, my school was miles away. No choice but dropoff lines (private school, no bus service). Had I been in the public school system, I would have needed to bus or be dropped off for junior high (that year and two after it, ~4 mi/6.5 km away traveling on and crossing multiple arterial roads without bike lanes or sidewalks for most of the way), but could have walked/ridden/driven myself to high school.

> Citizenship is a basic human right. No one can be deprived of it.

That's great and all, but the problem still exists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statelessness

> Middle Eastern countries have strict laws regarding citizenship; in that case, the person would have the citizenship of their parents.

Well, when Palestine gets international recognition as a sovereign state, that'll solve the problem. Until then, he's stateless.

"Kuwait's Nationality Law is based on the citizenship of the parents, jus sanguinis, (Article 2) and does not provide for citizenship based on place of birth, jus soli, except in the case of foundlings (Article 3). For this reason Al-Kateb did not acquire Kuwaiti citizenship at birth, and was thus considered a stateless person. Al-Kateb left his country of birth after Kuwaiti authorities pressured nearly 200,000 Palestinians to leave Kuwait. In December 2000, Al-Kateb, travelling by boat, arrived in Australia without a visa or passport, and was taken into immigration detention under the provisions of the Migration Act 1958."

It's not about just picking the next word here, that doesn't at all refuse whether Transformers can achieve AGI. Words are just one representation of information. And whether it resembles any intelligence we know is also not an argument because there is no reason to believe that all intelligence is based on anything we've seen (e.g us, or other animals).
The underlying architecture of Attention & MLPs can surely still depict something which we could call an AGI, and in certain tasks it surely can be considered an AGI already. I also don't know for certain whether we will hit any roadblocks or architectural asymptotes but I haven't come across any well-founded argument that Transformers definitely could not reach AGI.

SpaceX has repeatedly and reliably landed vertical stacks. On any body. Out of the engineering problems inherent to HLS, sticking the landing isn’t material because for them, for that team, it isn't as novel a problem as e.g. in-orbit refuelling or getting Raptors to relight on the Moon.

Put another way, just because SpaceX has done it doesn't mean the same problem carries the same risk for a team like IM's.

I've been doing this since Jan 1, sometimes called OMAD for One Meal A Day. I had already been skipping breakfast, so lunch is now a cup of tea or diet soda.
Maybe it's just the excitement of a new diet plan, but it's helped me lose 25 pounds so far this year, on track for 35 total before I re-evaluate. I just don't seem to have the willpower to only snack in moderation, but limiting myself to an hour a day is working. I can still have that dessert I'm looking forward to, it just has a specific timeframe now. Do I feel hungry sometimes? Yes, but I need some practice being hungry after years of stuffing my face whenever I felt like it.
This is nice but doesn't cause change. That is perfectly fine; change doesn't need to be the goal of all one's decisions.

However, if someone IS trying to cause change then quietly spending their own energy trying to sus out where to spend money ethically is not an effective use of time.

Moreover, if that person believes the thing they are trying to change is actively unethical in the world (extreme examples might be the Holocaust or American slavery) then quietly letting it happen while simply trying to ignore it and not participate might be a worse outcome in their own moral system.

I absolutely understand your point of view and take the same approach for a lot of my own life decisions (usually to my own detriment) so this isn't criticism I just want to highlight that it doesn't cover all the situations where this decision can come up.

> The president of Switzerland has extremely limited power due to the decentralised nature of their government.

I agree with you main point (power is more decentralised), but the office of the president isn't the important part here.

The president (who is a member of the federal council) is just a largely ceremonial role whose only actual additional political power is having a tie-breaker vote - something that is rarely relevant given that the council has seven members.

The really important part about the Swiss government (i.e. the federal council) is that there are seven equal heads of government instead of one and that they are a perpetual coalition government consisting of all the major parties weighted by their actual parliamentary representation - something that btw isn't written down anywhere it's just an informal tradition that has been kept alive for decades.
LOL. That's a generic description of the energy transition.

It's not like the rest of the world is blind. Chinese companies are the champions of battery and solar panel manufacturing. Every major economy has major electric car manufacturers, China is ahead of everyone. Tesla's batteries are made in collaboration with LG Chem and someone else, I forgot who exactly.

Your point is that you're expecting Tesla to monopolize the global energy storage and usage markets? It ain't working, if that's the plan.

If reason returns, Tesla should probably be valued at less than Kia or Hyundai.

It's very easy to observe the changes you mention: A lack of energy in activities in the short term, which you can control with diet adjustments.
In the long term (over the course of a few months), you should be tracking your weight chart and reducing your intake.

The body can adjust to caloric deficits, but not so much that consistent effort over weeks will be blocked.

I think it's necessary to mention how to deal with these changes, whenever they're mentioned.

I don’t buy Lecun’s argument. Once you get good RL going (as we are now seeing with reasoning models) you can give the model a reward function that rewards a correct answer most highly, an “I’m sorry but I don’t know” less highly than that, a wrong answer penalized, a confidently wrong answer more severely penalized. As the RL learns to maximize rewards I would think it would find the strategy of saying it doesn’t know in cases where it can’t find an answer it deems to have a high probability of correctness.

Every Marxism-derived political system has been terrible for the proletariat. I lived under communism for the first 6 years of my life. What I remember is a tiny apartment, an elevator that reeked of piss, having to store water in buckets because you never knew when it would stop working, and wiping my ass with yesterday's newspaper (which you obviously couldn't flush).

Even at my poorest in Canada, I've never known such terrible conditions. If there is some value to Marxism, we have not yet found a government system that can actually implement it.

Edit: What's even funnier is that my parents were well-educated professionals. My dad a mechanical engineer and my mom a lab tech. When my mom and I moved to Canada, my step-dad was a janitor. Technically he owned a janitorial company, but he was the only employee - basically a contractor. And yet, under capitalism, he was able to afford a life far more lavish than anything Communism would allow.

Not an ML researcher, but implementing these systems has shown this opinion to be correct. The non-determinism of LLMs is a feature, not a bug that can be fixed.

As a result, you'll never be able to get 100% consistent outputs or behavior (like you hypothetically can with a traditional algorithm/business logic). And that has proven out in usage across every model I've worked with.

There's also an upper-bound problem in terms of context where every LLM hits some arbitrary amount of context that causes it to "lose focus" and develop a sort of LLM ADD. This is when hallucinations and random, unrequested changes get made and a previously productive chat spirals to the point where you have to start over.

Yeah, airfield. Some older planes are still allowed to use leaded gas because no alternative has been found that works with their engines. And our regulatory system is all about minimizing risk of any given activity, not in minimizing the overall risk to people.
Yeah, I imagine in those situations, an AI proof that the conjecture is false would probably be more interesting and useful than a proof that it is true.

A proof of the conjecture would essentially just move the situation from "we think there could be counterexamples, but so far we haven't found any" to "there really are no counterexamples anywhere, you can stop looking". The interesting thing here would be the explanation why there can be no counterexamples, which is exactly the thing that the proof wouldn't give you.

On the other hand, a counterproof would either directly present the community with a counterexample - and maybe reveal some interesting class of objects that was overlooked so far - or at least establish that there have to be counterexamples somewhere, which would probably give more motivation to efforts of finding one.

The idea is great, but the adoption rate is way to low for any P2P thing to actually work (unless with agreed upon meetings).

Meshtastic is a better option, because it uses LoRa (thus requires additional hardware), but with a good location, many kilometers can be covered and mesh networking extends this a lot further. Meshcore is supposedly the next "generation" of meshtastic, but not popular enough over here to actually test it.

> Green card holders are essentially long term visas with citizenship grants for good behavior

No.

One of the major distinctions being – CBP cannot deny a green card holder to enter the country. They can try pressure tactics to 'convince' the person to 'voluntarily' give up their green card but, if they don't sign anything, they will still be let in. If there's something off about their case, they may be referred to an immigration judge, which is the only way to revoke a green card (barring some fraud detected by USCIS).

Contrast that with visas. They are entirely at immigration discretion and can be canceled at any time, including at the port of entry, for any reason. Visas which grant work authorization still have the SSN restricted and it's tied to whatever authorization the person has. A green card holder can remove the SSN restriction and their SSN is exactly the same as a citizen.

Really, the main differences are that a citizen can hold some offices a LPR cannot, the ability to vote, and no requirement to renew anything. And, most importantly, no residency requirements for a citizen.

As you point out, naturalization is more difficult to remove, but green cards aren't that easy either.
Eh, so what's the point of the comment?
I've ridden both hybrid and electric buses and I prefer the latter, as those huge engines still produce a lot of vibration.

There is no way out: you’re relying on supporting letters of reference from your advisors at least until you’re tenured. Your advisor doesn’t like you? Congrats, he can easily destroy your career before it even started.
What if your successes and failures were due to an external force entirely outside of your control? Would you feel accomplished if things you considered personal achievements were knowingly received due to e.g. influence of being in a higher social and economic class despite lacking the same level of merit as your other colleagues? Should you feel personally defeated if you created a professional project that you couldn't bring to financial viability?

Attaching positive sentiment to the process of personal growth over percentage of success attempts allows you to build a framework of understanding to see where your sphere of influence extends to and where you can focus and continue attempting next to overcome your hurdles. You can obviously be disappointed something bad happens in relation to your efforts, but stepping back without attaching emotions to the situation allows a glimpse at the true impact of your contributions. That's part of my understanding, atleast.

You're confusing confidence and arrogance. Confidence can be misplaced, or maybe hard-won through experience. But arrogance never has a place in a team. If you go around thinking you're 10x better than your peers, you're massively selling yourself short and I can bet you the rest of the engineers do not feel the same way about you.

> Pointing out how the other is worse and they are better is argumentative, which usually a 10x anything doesn't need

I'll be honest, this post is a bit incomprehensible. You say a good engineer has to be arrogant, then go on to claim how such an attitude can be combative. Pick one argument, not two conflicting arguments.

You sound young. I understand that youth can sometimes lead to the kind of arrogant thinking in your comments, but real wisdom will start coming whenever you realize how this kind of thinking looks to others, stop making comparisons, and try to learn from everyone on your team.
