Jev Based Code Review> Like the classifiers we were building 15 years ago with random forrests and logistic regressions I think no one mentioned here, but the obvious difference is that Jev can spit out decisions directly from natural language input.

None of these ML models could do that, and other than a full-fledged LLM (which is optimized for conversation and agentic tasks) or some classical NLP models (which underperform compared to LLMs, AFAIK), there is nothing right now that rivals Jev-like models. Of course it's not perfect, but seems like the right step forward for quick classification/decision tasks based on natural language.view source ↗

Can also just be an asymmetric bet - relatively small outlay with low chance of working, but massive upside if it does, such that it's still positive expected value. But mostly, I think all these armchair quarterbacks should not have very strong opinions about something that they almost certainly don't know much about compared to the people who build these. The person I responded to cited a random blog that ran some numbers, and includes such gems as "In space, a broken fan or a fried motherboard is a crisis." Just... lolview source ↗

Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energyTo be fair, people will say many of those deaths are due to the evacuation rather than the meltdown, and they’ll say the evacuation was overblown — too _much_ regulation.

However, I think you’re right that these can still be attributed to the meltdown, since the evacuations were undertaken to avoid the difficult-to-predict impact of the meltdown. In hindsight, we can see the evacuation wasn’t needed. But the reactor meltdown made an already-bad situation even more brittle, and in a disaster scenario i think we naturally prefer the evacuation, as opposed to the (low) chance of total destruction. The deaths are due to the evacuation, and the evacuation is due to some combination of [poor judgement] and [reactor meltdown]. If we attribute all the deaths to poor judgement, then we’re asserting we could confidently predict a reactor meltdown would pose no danger. Some people might claim that, but it seems implausible to me.view source ↗

The idea of active citizens being the ones who vote is everywhere in Republicanism, whether you look at the early French Republic and their restrictions on the national guard, to constitutionalism in England, or the early American Republic. In Athens, not everyone got a vote. In Rome not everyone got a vote. In cities across Europe following the Magdeburg charter, not everyone got a vote. The original limitation of propertied people in the constitution was the correct move in hindsight. The issue with suffrage for those that are not active and giving a positive impact to the country is exactly what you see happening today, politicians pandering to certain voter groups with hand outs instead of sticking to principles.view source ↗

IBM, Sun, Digital, and SGI we’re at a whole different level, and they were at that level because of their capabilities. They could’ve have potentially changed the game (like Apple) and competed against Microsoft and Intel, but they were fixated on selling basically to the corporate level which was in hindsight not a good decision long-term, and eventually it cost them all, their loss was immeasurable because of the hardware and more importantly operating system capabilities they had in house.view source ↗

It comes from a far more imperceptible shift in the zeitgeist of society, that is then eventually formally reflected in some way or another. For instance the Civil Rights Movement only succeeded because society had already largely shifted, before it had even begun, in a way that made it viable. A Civil Rights Movement in Saudi Arabia isn't going to succeed, because it needs the widespread desire for such to already exist. And in this regard I think Snowden had a bigger influence on society than anybody or anything in my living memory. Prior to him there was a belief by many that government conspiracies couldn't happen because somehow if there were enough people involved, it'd show up on News at 9 or whatever. He made it clear that such conspiracies, far beyond the bounds of what even the absurd conspiracy theorist might propose, can and do exist. The NSA has friggin spies in World of Warcraft! That sort of skepticism played a key role in fueling an anti-establishment mindset. And that mindset is what fueled the rise of everything from Trump to the DSA. I'm certainly not claiming those are good outcomes, but merely part of an increasingly visible shift away from the old establishment. And I think this shift will be, in the longrun, good for America. And I think in hindsight, it will be clear that a lot of this change started happening with Snowden.view source ↗

This takes me back to the first commercial software i ever worked on around 19 years ago, it was an accounting software written in Visual FoxPro. It's a super easy language to get started with programming and the fact that you can drag your widgets on the screen helps a lot. I remember using hungarian notations too. In hindsight that's both good and bad, because the moment you move to another language that doesn't offer an IDE where you can drag widgets with your mouse on the screen to position them and you have to work with containers, programmatically, you quickly realize how little you really know about creating UIs with forms. I don't think i had an opinion back then if VFP was good or bad but I remember the IDE would crash when you tried to build your project sometimes with a pop-up that would say "Catastrophic failure!". I always thought that was super funny and to this day i still have the screenshot. I think about a year or so before they killed it, they releases SP2 which was a bit more stable.view source ↗

All of the Navier-Stokes options in the Clay Institute formulation of the prize are real problems of significant interest. The history of this particular problem is of finding specific conditions under which we can get something to work that turn out not to generalize in ways that people don’t expect eg iirc (It’s been a while since I read about it) there was a solution found early-ish in the 20th century for the 2-D case that turned out not to generalize to N-d, N>2 case, there are special conditions under which the turbulent terms cancel out and you can get smooth flow, vortices etc. It seems to me that formulating problems at the boundary of human knowledge precisely is always going to be challenging and situations are bound to occur where you look back with the benefit of hindsight and wish that you had posed the question slightly differently based on some knowledge you didn’t have at the time.view source ↗

Socrates vs. the Written Word (2011)I share your sentiment. What you're describing here was also very eye-opening to me when I first realized it. I'll restate these ideas in a more explicit claim.

What you're describing here was also very eye-opening to me when I first realized it. I'll restate these ideas in a more explicit claim. All symbols are defined via one's own subjective experience. One's own understanding/definition of every word can be traced back to personal experience. Imagine your life as a timeline, like a video, from birth up until now. You can seek that timeline to find the moments/clips that contributed to your definition of any given word or even mathematical symbol. To give an example, when I say "apple", the corresponding idea in my head is based on every apple I've seen and every instance of the word "apple" I've seen being used or being taught to me in the past. Even when we try to define the phrase "this specific apple" while looking at the same apple on the same table in the same room, the light bounces off of it slightly differently from my angle of view vs yours, and we did not see the same sequence of "video frames" about the apple, and so our mental models of that apple would necessarily be slightly different. This is probably why the hard problem of consciousness / unified theory of physics appear forever out of reach. If no two observers/observations are fully identical, then you cannot even define what an ideal observer is. But we tend to assume such an ideal definition exists. This seems almost trivial in hindsight because "identical" can be defined as 1) "one and the same", based on one thing OR 2) "mostly similar", based on pairs of adjacent things one has seen in the past. And to sort of echo the original post, it seems to me that a lot value comes from the interactive nature of argumentation. But I think the specific medium/modality of those interactions don't matter for most things, and even when it does, like in this case, valuable insights can still fall out of a discussion in text. I derived the precursor ideas which led to this conclusion of definitional non-equivalence in past offline argumentview source ↗

In 2029, AI will not be able to watch a movie and tell you accurately what is going on (what I called the comprehension challenge in The New Yorker, in 2014). Who are the characters? What are their conflicts and motivations? etc. 2. In 2029, AI will not be able to read a novel and reliably answer questions about plot, character, conflicts, motivations, etc. Key will be going beyond the literal text, as Davis and I explain in Rebooting AI. 3. In 2029, AI will not be able to work as a competent cook in an arbitrary kitchen (extending Steve Wozniak’s cup of coffee benchmark). 4. In 2029, AI will not be able to reliably construct bug-free code of more than 10,000 lines from natural language specification or by interactions with a non-expert user. [Gluing together code from existing libraries doesn’t count.] 5. In 2029, AI will not be able to take arbitrary proofs from the mathematical literature written in natural language and convert them into a symbolic form suitable for symbolic verification. In the hindsight, it is interesting to see just how much the field was underestimated. But back then, I'd probably be a Marcus-level skeptic too. (I didn't give the idea enough thought in 2024, so I cannot say precisely.)view source ↗
