You've misunderstood, I mean in context. tensor said "I want one that is primarily scientific driven" - Deep Research can't achieve that because it can't independently run experiments. It can do research, but doing research isn't being scientifically driven, being scientifically driven means when you're not sure about something you run an experiment to see what is true rather than going with whatever your tribe says is true.

If Deep Research comes up against a situation where there is controversy it can't settle the matter scientifically because it would need to do original research. Which it cannot do due to a lack of presence in meatspace.

That might change in the future, but right now it is impossible.

Intuitively it feels like there ought to be significant similarities between expert layers because there are fundamentals about processing the stream of tokens that must be shared just from the geometry of the problem. If that's true, then identifying a common abstract base "expert" then specialising the individuals as low-rank adaptations on top of that base would mean you could save a lot of VRAM and expert-swapping. But it might mean you need to train from the start with that structure, rather than it being something you can distil to.
The Wikipedia article that comment linked to in a later edit says it's a controversial definition and says that such professions are typically described as white collar. That seems to support my statement?

Haskell culture tends to do this kind of stuff for records, FWIW. Of course, in this case, it might even make sense to render this in a way such as the following:

{
"foo": "bar"
, "baz": "hehe"
, "yes": "aligned"
, "better": "this way"
}

Because as another person already said, the first line isn't movable, and the last line wasn't either. The first key-value pair does look a tad strange because it doesn't have anything before the key, but nevertheless, now changing things is even easier.

Admittedly, it would look nicer if we could have trailing commas, though. Oh well, we have YAML for extra readable record syntax, even with how horrible YAML can get in reality.

That's interesting, I'd never thought of it from the perspective of lying. Thanks.

It's funny, because I don't really consider making statements about what I plan to do in the future lies.

Like, if I promise someone I'll do something for them or do something important to them and I know I won't, that's a lie.

But if I'm just sharing a plan or a personal need... I don't see that as a lie. My plans and needs change by minute. I can decide to discuss something with my spouse, then change my mind. To me, it falls under the category of personal autonomy. Frankly it's not even a company's business why I need more time, and if they want a reason to give it to me, and I give them a reason about needing to discuss it, I'm free to change my mind immediately afterwards without telling them. And that being the case, it makes no difference what my reason for needing time actually was.

Also, remember that they're the ones telling you they have a 48h deadline in the first place. Isn't that a lie, too? But you're not going to judge them for extending that for you, because it's in your interest. Same way they won't judge you for your reason for needing more time, because they want to hire you.

I don't know. I just think it's hard to call these things lies when they're merely stating intent, which is constantly changing. But I appreciate your perspective! It comes from a different moral worldview, which is important to recognize.

We're back: How tuberculosis is set to surge globally once again
Just a data point: I once avoided giving the first number, and when pushed into it, gave a ridiculously high number for a job I really wanted. The HR guy said, "no that's too high". Well duh, idiot. You make a big story about how you can't possibly move forward until I tell you something, I'm going to tell you something, and you're not going to like it.

I waited a day to cool off and think hard, and called the guy back to say, "Your colleagues have selected me, I've proven I'll be able to do this job, and they told you they want me to. I told you, make me an offer. You instead required me to make an offer, and look where it got us? Now do as I asked, make me an offer, and we'll see. I won't be offended, this is a hard post to fill, and we both want this to work, so just try, will you?"

The devil is in the details. Even though all minerals contain impurities, NPK fertilizer is processed to reduce them to acceptable levels for agriculture. If they did not do this, places dosed with large quantities of it (year after year after…) would become superfund sites. It is the same reason coal is so nasty: the CO2 is nothing compared to the ash—which is loaded with heavy metals. If the ash retaining ponds around a coal plant ever broke, the land would be uninhabitable for centuries, so the the ppms and ppbs are crucial information here.

Caveat: I'm compsci not biosci.

Going from 70 to 130 seems plausible, but only that specific range as the nature of the scale is statistical not absolute, and outside 2σ the tests themselves aren't reliable. Going from 130 to 190 isn't really a meaningful score because there's almost exactly 8 people with IQ 190 or higher at any given moment, and which people they are depends on the previous day's rest and last hour's caffine and alcohol consumption. (Likewise in the other direction, single digit IQs are not meaningful because there's a lot more than 8 people at any given moment in the days between e.g. when Alzheimer's causes them to forget to drink water and when their liver and kidneys fail).

As for evidence, there's two options for IQ: biology and environment. But even the impact of the environment is tied to your genes, e.g. lead is famously bad for brains, a quick search found some genes are associated with binding to heavy metals including lead to reduce toxicity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallothionein

However, that everything comes down to "can your genes thrive in these conditions?", is not enough to say we can now engineer this.

I *do not* make any claim that we actually know enough yet to do this. Proof of principle is much, much, easier than proof of specifics: we knew fusion power was possible in the 50s, we still don't have commercially viable fusion power.

I guess it depends on your definition of journalism but there is a reasonable expectation that someone hosting a show - even if it's more editorialized and explicitly opinionated than other reporting - on a channel with the word "News" in its name would at least use a reasonably well-researched factual basis when making factual claims or presenting statements as facts in support of his opinion or argument, rather than outright deliberately lying.

After all there are people who think there is factual evidence and undeniable proof for the existence of space aliens on Earth, cryptozoology or supernatural phenomena because "The History Channel" decided to give up on sticking to actual history and started airing whatever nonsense grabbed anyone's attention.

You can argue that a discernable viewer could easily figure this out by reflecting on what they're viewing but there are good reasons you don't find rat poison in the condiments aisle.

Not all jobs or tasks are helped by LLM's. That's fine. But many are, and hugely.

You dismissed it for everyone as "a mental trick like a psychic reading tea leaves". Implying it has no value for anyone.

If ads just vanished, that would be great, but making it illegal ought to do more harm than good. For one, a lot of ad money would be routed to shills, which are far more pernicious and have already infested otherwise great platforms like Reddit. Everything would turn to crap and no adblocker would help you. An ad ban would make every influencer profile instantly worthless, unless they decide to shill, which they're probably already doing anyway.

Also big tech would be incentivized to sell even more user data, as their business would still mostly exist, either via subscriptions, or through the now even more profitable user data market with more expensive targeted shilling.
Most of the big print-on-demand companies will now make hardcovers, for about $10. You can't feed raw Gutenberg files into those mills, but these "standard ebooks" have enough formatting info for that. So that would be a useful service.

I didn't mean to target you specifically, just the general idea/trend of applying "smart priors" to do OCR. That is, a system that has a concept of what's plausible and may make the content more "plausible" instead of accurate. For example, an OCR system should be required to exactly recognize characters one by one, even including the typos. Sometimes even the presence of a comma or a small spelling variation can have significance.
Or imagine running financial accounting stuff through LLM-OCR. And if you ask why would you OCR that instead of keeping digital records -- well, the real world can be very unreasonable and incompetent, and there are cases when e.g. the government only releases scanned PDFs on official sites regarding financial audit statistics etc.

this is morally very shortsighted and selective and is in opposition to most people's value systems.
While the idea that they filled up from below may make more intuitive sense at face value, the "common explanation" in this instance is substantiated in many different ways and doesn't seem far fetched when you study it a little further.
No, job security is why the code base is poorly written and uncommented. Pile of technology growth (POTG) is caused by a legitimate desire to avoid future pitfalls. Above all, application devs do NOT want to be in a situation where they must use first principles to keep the app alive. What they ignore is that the benefit of an added component is 1 but the cost scales as N^2. Call it "the integrator's dilemma". POTG via the integrator's dilemma is exascerbated by easy, fast dependency managers, FOMO and willful ignorance of managers to any concern other than "ship on that date".

Yet doing everything from first-principles is not viable, nor is focusing only on non-functional requirements. The solution is engineering leadership that values code not written, dependencies not added. They wince at a big commit. Every component must pull its weight. They use every part of every component and dwell in the community of it. If they don't have time for a new community, they hire a new person who does, and they may represent a new specialization on your team.

A solid team needs 5 people. CSS and Figma ('designer'). SPA ('front-end eng'). The appservers, database and outward api calls ('backend eng'). Infrastructure and CI/CD ('devops'). Finally, you need a person who owns goals, measuring past and articulating future, and take point on user and business comms ('product'). Project management can be a part-time role of anyone on the team, but fits well with product. I do not think a single human mind can be a designer/front-end/back-end/devops role and do a good job. They just don't have time to learn and stay up-to-date with all of that, and it requires an untenable amount of context switching.

I don't know if anyone has done a study of the prevalence of humidifier lung with different types of humidifiers, but I'd bet that the common ultrasonic ones are the worst and it wasn't surprising to me that the model in the linked case was ultrasonic.

I've used ultrasonic humidifiers in the past and clean them well enough to avoid humidifier lung, but stopped when I noticed the air quality sensor on my air filter would go nuts when using the humidifier with anything other than distilled water. Which makes sense in hindsight, since any ultrasonic humidifier is essentially blasting everything in the water all over your house. Any contamination in the humidifier or the water is going straight into your lungs.

Steam and evaporative humidifiers have their own downsides, but their respective processes of producing water vapor seem to carry less non-water things with it. Which again makes sense given the physical processes involved.
