I'm confused by a lot of this discourse... What have they done to show they can be trusted?

The Intercept is not far-left, they are Blob-aligned via Pierre Omidyar. Reading this meter you linked from AllSides, it appears that the main purpose of that meter is to enforce the boundaries of the Overton window using faux-objectivity a

If Trump dies, Vance becomes president. If Vance dies, Mike Johnson becomes president. What do you know about those people that I don't that convinces you the hammer will come down once Trump is dead?

Dialects degenerate phonemes that would otherwise occupy identity relations between different utterances of the same "word" (word/concept mutable hyperobject as is the standard in any socially-relevant spoken language) which

Approximate solutions are good enough, but approximate solutions are not part of the solution space for the kinds of problems covered by OP.

No free lunch theorem has nothing to say about approximate solutions, so I'm really not sure what you're going on about. OR-tools is almost exclusively linear programming which according to its strict assumptions converges more or

*sigh* We really need to teach this new crop the term "no free lunch". Again.

The thing is, there are never only two options.

Multiple things can be bad for different qualitative reasons.

How about the broad anecdotal consensus that Duolingo, a gamified language app, famously does not do much if anything to prepare people for conversational fluency.

That's also grammar that's fit to get you harangued and chided by other 4-9 year olds on the schoolyard. Social outcomes are the primary means by which language is meaningful.

English is uniquely riddled with exceptions to rules linguistically. Teaching inflexibly only makes students flex around you.

by uoaei 2mo ago
Perfect grammar is less important than comprehensible semantics for all but the most niche linguistic applications.

Earnings represented by GDP are not distributed evenly across a given population. That 17% of extra earnings goes to relatively few people in the States (I'm putting this very mildly, the concentration in reality is insanely lopsided).

All of the optimism surrounding this industry hinges on "ifs" that never materialize.

That's what makes it a model, not a law.

You're playing party politics. That's the risk you take: that the party has goals beyond your (dareisay naive) utopian ideals for civic engagement. Parties are not universally evil, when I malign them in this way it is in full ack

No, it's not a law in the same way as physical laws. Most of the failures in economics of the past 50 years can be mostly directly attributed to a fatal overcommitment to the belief that these attributed relations are incontrivertible.

Supply and demand is and always has been a useful first-order approximation. Reality is a lot more complicated. Dear reader, never believe anyone who says a serious societal problem is "just" anything. Especially on the internet w

It is different, but there may be some universal principles that are relevant more abstractly among both cases. Of particular interest is the empirical notion that statistical models of a certain form will always tend to "average out n

Tried and failed to beat Framework to market. Frankly I'm hopeful that Framework beats this offering out, though I'm happy for the competitive pressure.

Ok, sure. You want more words to say the same thing, here you are. It got vociferous support from the highest levels of government even though the deception ("protect kids!") was so blatant and transparent, and it wasn't unti

You're right, mixed up the names, in UK they called it Online Safety Act.

Europe is, compared to the US, doing a lot more for protection of private data. That includes strict guardrails on what data can be collected and how it is used. Secret courts still exist but the phenomenon of random Flock employees spying

They don't cache model state to disk. I am proposing they do.

Your refusal to interact with subtext has me guffawing. I wonder if you even recognize what you're doing. In the history of revolution, there is never (except in elementary school) all that much weight put on the singular act which ins

Exactly, even in the throes of today's wacky economic tides, storage is still cheap. Write the model state immediately after the N context messages in cache to disk and reload without extra inference on the context tokens themselves. I

There is a moral dimension, you're just choosing not to acknowledge it. Feyerabend speaks to things that add context and nuance to the effects, consequences, and provisions of the things you've felt comfortable discussing so far.

Yours is a rather pedestrian dorm-room take on epistemology and relevance of the moral dimension to social progress whose flaws are addressed in longform by Feyerabend.
