They should default to the point at infinity.

A real time simulator?

I hold this comment in contempt

Oh right. I am American but my experience with this aspect of the legal system is entirely in Australia. I just assumed that all western legal systems are nearly interchangeable.

Generally speaking, when you get a subpoena you can demand "conduct money" precisely to reimburse this cost. Otherwise the subpoena is unenforceable. Not sure exactly how warrants work

Usually subpoenas and search warrants come with a stamp, and more importantly records are returned to the court registrar, not handed over directly to the person claiming to be servicing a court order. The registrar would presumably say "wtf we didn't order this" and then the gig is up.

But how do you read "How to Read a Paper"?

Though, has anyone ever considered, packet delivery via mortar shell?

This strikes me as a Wikipedia Article type caveat. Sure the warning applies to certain categories of article/data, namely the ones where people are jockeying to have the authority of an encyclopaedia / data to reinforce their political stance, but on any sort of non political topic neutrality is a non issue. I fully anticipate that say, police and crime data by demographic shouldn't be trusted. Other data, like say pounds of recycled garbage collected per census tract, is probably fine.

Are the colours supposed to mean anything? It would be useful to tell at a glance roughly the type of sound I'm going to get (male voice, female voice, instrument, percussion, machine noise, etc)

I wish I could take credit for my example, but it's perhaps the most famous example in all of linguistics and its the thing that made Noam Chomsky's name in the field.

To summarise it quickly, Chomsky's contention was that all the world's languages can be described by shockingly few degrees of freedom on the same universal grammar, and that we learn language surprisingly fast relative to training data because all we are really picking up are those parameters and the rest is hard wired from birth the same way horses come out the womb already hard wired to gallop.

Decades later, very few things have truely stood the test of being universal among languages, but it was still a valuable contribution because he poked a serious hole in the pure Hebbian reinforcement theories which were in vogue back then.

With due respect (and I actually mean due respect), this embodies exactly what is wrong with the modern approach to AI. Who cares that there's no examples in the training set. True AI should be able of taking a few steps out of book without getting flummoxed. When you learn your first language, teacher does not stand before the class and provide examples of ungrammatical statements, yet you figure out the rules of grammar just fine.

There is something fundamentally flawed in the approach not in the data.

War is waged by individuals. We call it "fighting" or "assault".

They're being rebels just for kicks

When you're successful at life it's called "neurodiversity".

I disagree profoundly.

There are things the brain does we have not yet been able to reproduce with a neural network, or to the extent we have seemingly with excessive resources of training and network size. Therefore there is some salient feature of neurology which has been overlooked. I don't think it is necessary to mimic biology down to the exact function of real neurons, but there must in fact be something we are neglecting to mimic.

A man goes into court not sure how he got there or what he's accused of. The judge starts saying the opening formalities. "If and only if every member of the jury is convinced you are guilty then this court will convict you." The man looks around. "Your honor, there are no members of the jury." The judge slams the gavel hard. "Guilty". That's the trivial case.

I am now fully convinced there is an alignment problem.

Wait, I'm supposed to not cross the street when I don't have the light? Who has time for that? I got a train to catch.

You misunderstand. It's not about one seat rides or about schedules. Nobody knows the schedule in NY, the train is frequent enough to not care. But changing lines is basically a statistical 5 min of travel time each time you do it.

Google maps seems to have evolved into something by and for car-centric user base.

I did not rc. Thanks.

Not at all. Thomas is the biggest political hack on the bench. The Trump Era appointees were basically federalist society picks and surprisingly institutionalists. Obama only got one person on the bench thanks to McConnells games iirc. So the recent polarization hasn't leaked into the court via the appointments of the polarized Era. It just sort of happened the same as it did to the population at large.

Monumentally stupid. In the post pandemic wfh Era, the way for trains to be viable is to offer amenities which let you "work from train". People still like face to face over zoom, but not enough to overcome the friction of commuting to a meeting place. The only way to reduce that friction is to turn commute time into viable productive time rather than a time sink.

Even simpler, every time you sample random you get the same number of bits of entropy. Sampling once and then cubing spreads the same entropy bits over the interval. Cubing thrice spreads 3x the entropy into the reachable area. Thus you know this guy is doing no net favor to the world.

Sql is accidentally general purpose. Recursive queries, a feature present in all implementations since the 90s, put it just over the line of turing completeness.

Ah, the classic anti turing test of artifical artifical inyelegence

The 90s are back baby!

Oh really. Have you actually visited that childhood home recently? Did you move away at a young age by any chance and never went back since?

I know I did. Until one night I randomly pursued the place in street view. It's uncanny, looking at it, not being sure which things changed and which you don't remember correctly. Was the swingset in the park always yellow? Was that store always on that side of the other one? It really fucks with your sense of reality
