Interesting take, but I think there is another reason, Malaria.

It so devastated Africa that people started evolving resistance to it. That evolution also shortened the life of the "lucky" person who has it. Quote:

>Due to the high levels of mortality and morbidity ... has placed the greatest selective pressure on the human genetic factors provide some resistance to it including sickle cell trait

From:

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

Only recently has treatment started to work in Africa, but the damage done is still being felt. Plus the treatment is slow coming from the rich countries.

They're 'not allowed to'.

But they did.

Trump & co pulled one over on you. Just because it's not in the GPoE does not mean it doesn't exist.

It appears to be an informally arranged contract. Federal judges and 'memos' also recognizes this contract. Bukele and Trump publicly have reiterated much of the terms. I do not know if you will ever see a single traditional looking contract paper you desire, but the evidence is everywhere, not the least of which that the memos statements and actual reality of El Salvador taking prisoners on behalf the US and publicly stating they have an agreement to do it.
When I saw them say 'no more non COT models', I was minorly panicked.

While their competitors have made fantastic models, at the time I perceived ChatGPT4 was the best model for many applications. COT was often tricked by my prompts, assuming things to be true, when a non-COT model would say something like 'That isnt necessarily the case'.

I use both COT and non when I have an important problem.

Seeing them keep a non-COT model around is a good idea.

I have a prototype doing just that! That is on the roadmap :)

Although, it is not as exciting as some make it sound. Most insider trading reports are utterly boring. There are a small percentage that are valuable though
It makes sense when you realize that their true position is "free speech for me but not for thee". The contradictions are about censoring speech they disagree with and promoting speech they like.
>For this administration specifically, the thing that has always existed wasn't an issue that demanded these actions the last time they were in office, just 4 short years ago

Immigration and border security were maybe the #1 policy front for Trump in 2016 -- am I missing something here?
That's right. Infringement of freedom and speech should be left in the hands of government funded institutions like Harvard.
4 years ago I had my partner take photos of moles that had changed colour on my back. I used the MySkinDoctor app https://www.myskindoctor.co.uk/ to send them to my consultant dermatologist (who, at the time, I had never met -- having just moved to a new area). Upon review they arranged for an in-person appointment and I was seen within a week or so. All through the NHS.

So yes, taking the photo at home is perfectly doable. I still went to hospital though.
I would like to believe it isn’t either but all of the evidence is starting to pile overwhelmingly over any evidence that it ISN’T.
Do all cases in the UK start with a GP? No ability to go straight to a dermatologist? And are all dermatologists based out of hospitals?

In the US, we'd just go straight to a dermatologist, who would either remove it on the spot, or for a location that's liable to scar badly, refer to a specialist surgeon. For somebody fair skinned with lots of sun damage like myself, it's an annual "ritual".
This seems like an argument against the rule of law. When arguing for demographic compositions, at least for my personal admittedly limited experience, I see arguments for how policy X upholds the law, or maybe only the spirit of the law in Y ways.

I do not see that here for the current admins demands for diversity.

Curious if anyone else reading this knows about the equivalent of US "pink sheets," publicly traded companies that have either never been listed or have been delisted due to low share price / market capitalization.

Here in the US, you can buy publicly traded companies in the US for a song; in fact, that was the source for the "acquiring" company in a lot of those reverse-acquisitions of the late 2000s / early 2010s: publicly traded companies that had a ticker, but were basically defunct. A company that wanted to go public without the scrutiny of an IPO process could "buy themselves" with the tiny, publicly traded company, thereby getting a ticker and access to retail investors. (This was not a good phenomenon, fwiw, though it definitely anticipated the SPAC craze... which was also not good, for similar reasons.)

About SkinVision
SkinVision was founded in 2012 and provides a mobile phone application, which supports individuals with the early detection of the most common forms of skin cancer (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and precancerous actinic keratosis). SkinVision is the first CE marked skin cancer application based on extensive clinical trials, conducted in partnership with Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) and the university clinic of Ludwig Maximilian University (LMU). Research shows the app has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 78%. The SkinVision app is commercially available worldwide on iOS and Android except for a few countries, such as the United States and Canada. SkinVision is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The SkinVision Service is a Medical Device and is registered with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
>If you do demanding work, a full working week is 20-30 hours. Even 40 hours is too much and cannot be sustained in the long term. You can do more in the short term, but you'll eventually burn yourself out. Longer hours are only possible with routine and/or fake work that doesn't really make you more productive.

This line shows me that we will never agree. If i showed this to my boss he would laugh... and so would my entire team.

Silicon Valley runs on 80-hour weeks, sleepless nights, and a culture that glorifies obsession. It's a system that burns hot — and burns people out. Many of the engineers and founders who fuel these breakthroughs walk away in their 30s and 40s, exhausted but occasionally leaving billion-dollar companies in their wake.
Nice thanks, beautiful!
It sends a very clear marker to countries that collaborate with the current administration to violate our Constitutional rights. It says: "if you do this, you'd better hope that this administration never loses power, because you will regret what happens to you when they're gone."
Entropy is based on your model of the world and every model, being a simplification and an estimate, is false.
The difference is that the people affected by whim were, by design, only supposed to be the political appointees, not the civil service rank and file. Those jobs existed for as long as Congress decided that they produced useful results for the American people. Positions could be eliminated by virtue of Congress deciding that a shift in policy was needed, eg fewer Kremlinologists after 1989, but that is not a whim, that is a result of debate.

The current administration is making all positions political, and in doing so, performing an end run around the legislative branch.
I know this is somewhat off topic, but can someone explain the naming convention used by OpenAI? Number vs "mini" vs "o" vs "turbo" vs "chat"?
> there would be much more push back against this type of action if Harvard and other universities didn't alienate a large chunk of the population

Not in any meaningful way. And not in a way that would have mattered.

The elite universities got into this hole by trying to court pedestrian approval. Trump is at war with the professional managerial class, not the elites. Harvard’s brand remains unimpeached among the latter. Return to serving that group and ignore the broader population.
I'm confused, is familiarity with it somehow an argument for it?

As I understand, the complaint was that things get ruined once acquired. Great, we all know that it's in part because of unsustainable business models in the hope of getting acquired*. Does that mean we have to like it? Wouldn't it be nice to encourage companies to have sustainable business models?

*But also not entirely. Even if you build a sustainable business model, for you it's throwing off profit and that's gravy for you. But once someone buys it from you, suddenly they are in the hole and have an investment to recoup, especially if they overpaid. And so the temptation arises to goose things to pay back that investment more quickly
Being a pasty Brit, going to Australia was a real eye opener in how much more on the ball they were about skin cancer, not just in medical terms but culturally. We're getting better here (I was there more than a decade ago) but it's still seen as quite amusing when people get sunburnt here.
*Update*: I tried writing a little Python code to read and write from a mailbox, reading worked great, but writing an email had the email disappear to some filter or spam or something somewhere. I've got to figure out where it went, but this is the warning that some people had about not trusting a messaging protocol (email in this case) when you can't control the servers. Messages can disappear.

I read that [Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com/) might improve this. Haven't tried it yet.

There are two fundamental political systems and they exist in respect to how they attempt to assess truth. The first uses reason, the second uses power.

People who believe in reason based truth look for contradictions. Do doctors take the same treatments they offer? Do doctors vaccinate their own kids? What did these doctors learn to do in college? When no or few contradictions are found, they are willing to offer trust.

People who believe in power based truth look to their power structure. What does my priest or parent say? What does my news channel say? What do people who are loyal to the same people I'm loyal to say? When the messaging within their power structure, such as fox news, declares something they believe it without question, after all, they wouldn't be in their position of power without having earned it. Likewise there are peer social relationships likely to punish dissent.

It's hard for people who believe in reason to communicate with people who believe in power because power is immune to reason. They don't care about their contradictions. While you are pointing out their contradictions, but not doing anything about it, you are dis-empowering yourself. There is truth in action, and in many ways reasoning is not action. Acting in a contradictory way, but experiencing no obvious consequences for doing so is itself empowering.
Vietnam invaded Cambodia to remove the Khmer Rouge from power (who were not only massacring their own population, but also attacking the Vietnamese border areas). How does that prove that the Vietnamese war against the Americans was not anti-colonial?
Four Republican Congresscritters (House of Representatives), and four Republican Senators, could announce their intent to caucus with the Democratic party from this point forward, consistent with their oath and legal obligation to support and defend the Constitution against an emerging dictatorship. And then force a vote to change the leadership of the House and the Senate.

It would require a simple majority vote. That's all.

The power of the purse can be taken back by Congress. It can reorganize the committees and resume investigations and oversight where there has been none.
This isn't a handful of individuals, it's the President of El Salvador and his government.
I'm sorry Harvard has disappointed your synicism
This misunderstands the theology and metaphysics very profoundly.

The immutability of God is a necessary theological conclusion. If God changes, then He isn't God, by definition. It would be a metaphysical absurdity. Change presupposes imperfection and, therefore the potential for perfection, i.e., full actualization, but God as the Ipsum Esse Subsistens, is pure act with no potential left to actualize. God is fully dynamic, but this is quite different from change. He may appear to change from our temporal perspective as events are distributed in time, but from an eternal perspective, all is actualized, "simultaneous", so to speak.

W.r.t. gradual revelation, that is exactly what Scripture is a record of. A Catholic reading will demonstrate that revelation is in the business of slowly revealing to Man who God is (at least that which cannot be known through unaided reason; quite a bit can be known through reason alone), preparing him for the culmination of public revelation in the Incarnation of the Logos, something foreshadowed in the Old Testament. And furthermore, the Catholic Church recognizes the development of doctrine, which you could call a refinement and deepening of understanding of what has been revealed. I like the analogy to mathematics, even if it is imperfect: all the theorems that follow from a set of axioms are in a sense already in the axioms, and so mathematics is in the business of unpacking them.

However, this gradual revelation and development of doctrine, in order to be authentic, cannot contradict what was known previously, at least to a certain accuracy, if not precision. Of course, here is where people can get tripped up by analogical devices and literal-mindedness. Scripture is written using the idioms, paradigms, and language of the people who wrote it and for whom it was written. That means that some of the language may not agree with strict scientific descriptions of the 21st century. However, when that does occur, you will note that the sense is not the reference: when the Bible speaks of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west in order to communicate some theological truth, it is not making astronomical claims about the sun and the earth. It is using this language as instruments to communicate something, often by analogy. In fact, analogy is essential to theology, something captured in the concept of the analogia entis. Univocal or equivocal approaches to the subject of God have been the source of numerous heresies.
Good. We need companies that produce economic value, not landlords seeking rent.
I once wrote a reply email to an Amazon recruiter saying effectively, "If Amazon were the last software company left on earth, I would rather become a carpenter than work there. Please never ask me to interview there again."

Anyhow a couple years later I got called by a recruiter from Amazon asking me if I'd be willing to relocate to work there.
I am asking for simple evidence of something that was claimed to be widespread, but so far no one has presented any.

Can you link me to evidence that a leftist group attacked a student because of their ethnicity?
Yeah, had that thought as well at some point. It definitely feels like some constraint is slowly applied to the web, though I find the exact security properties somewhat nebulous. The one concrete requirement that seems to be pushed by this is that any host that expects to be accessed through a browser has to be connected to the internet at some point - and has to have an internet-registered domain name. (And at least the root of that name will be publicly visible in a CT log and will be processed and stored by who-knows-what)

Though weirdly, it doesn't even matter to which particular service the host connects or if the domain name actually resolves to anything.

But it does feel like some creeping "platformization" is going on: The requirements make it reliably a pain to run anything that's not connected to the internet, such as LAN-only websites or local web interfaces of IoT devices.

I wonder if the end goal is some sort of "app-storization" of the web, where some entity has the power to ban a site globally, even if registrar, server and users are all in a different country and even if the site only exists internally on some LAN. But then again, I'm unsure if browsers couldn't effectively do that already today - so if they could, why all the effort?

Taking off the conspiracy hat, maybe the tighter update requirements could be a push so that people finally develop some protocol how to securely update certificates on IoT devices. That would at least disprove the conspiracy theory.
> A lot of people seem to have the idea (or at least SELL the idea, I'm not sure if they actually believe it) that this all leads to superhuman intelligence AGI and whoever hits that first is the "winner takes all" winner.

... Wait, why would making the basilisk give you a monopoly? Do they think their magic super intelligence would do their bidding or something? Have they never seen any sci-fi?

(The idea that LLMs will lead to superhuman intelligence seems ludicrous on the face of it, but even going along with that it doesn't make any sense.)

Harvard is free to say whatever it wants and operate without government funds. A shocking idea may be for a school to actually use the tuition paid by students to educate them.

On the other hand, if you think of a programming language as a specialized tool then you choose the tool for the job and don’t reach for your swiss army knife to chop down a tree.

The problem with gradually typed languages is that there are few such trees that should be chopped by their blunt blades. At least Rust is the best for a number of things instead of mediocre at all of them.

One counterpoint to this is local self exploratory programming. For that a swiss army knife is ideal, but in those cases who cares about functional programming or abstractions?
Yeah. Sometimes college students are older, but that article isn't really evidence that student groups are hitting the streets bashing people based on ethnicity.

Sadly, a friend of mine died from this type of problem. He traveled from Ghana to Jordan and fell ill in Jordan, the Jordanian doctors didn't diagnose it as malaria in time to save him because Jordan doesn't have malaria. I'm sure it would have been obvious to a Ghanaian doctor.

This is kinda why I hate advanced type systems, they slowly become their own language.

I don't explicitly disagree with anything you wrote, but this action was brought by the Biden administration (technically they re-filed because the judge had thrown the original case out, which was filed during Trump's lame duck period). Half of Trump's support comes from populists, so the FTC has chosen to continue the prosecution.
Curiously, higher-order functions, and the concept of something like a closure, dates back to the earliest days of PL design - and I'm not even talking about Lisp! Algol-60, the granddaddy of pretty much every modern mainstream programming language, already had the notion of nested functions (which closed over variables from the surrounding scopes) and the ability to pass those functions to other functions.

They weren't fully first-class because there were no function-typed variables, nor could you return a function. Even so, this already lets you do stuff like map and filter. And Algol-60 programs from that era did use those capabilities, e.g.:

PROCEDURE EULER (FCT, SUM, EPS, TIM)
VALUE EPS, TIM;
INTEGER TIM;
REAL PROCEDURE FCT;
REAL SUM, EPS;
BEGIN
INTEGER I, K, N, T;
ARRAY M [0 .. 15];
REAL MN, MP, DS;
I := N := T := 0;
M[0] := FCT(0);
SUM := M[0] / 2;
NEXTTERM:
I := I+1;
MN := FCT(1);
FOR K := 0 STEP 1 UNTIL N DO
BEGIN
MP := (MN + M[K]) / 2;
M[K] := MN;
MN := MP
END;
IF (ABS(MN) < ABS(M[N]) AND N < 15) THEN
BEGIN
DS := MN/2;
N := N+1;
M[N] := MN
END
ELSE
DS := MN;
SUM := SUM + DS;
IF ABS(DS) < EPS THEN
T := T + 1
ELSE
T := 0;
IF T < TIM THEN
GOTO NEXTTERM
END;
