Cultural learning has definitely been observed in animals: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_culture

Ah yes, it can be quite fun chasing down heisenbugs like that, half sarcastically :)

> One is that math nerds at school insisted on intimidating for the win and I just hated it.

For me the worst part was the teachers that encouraged that behavior and did the same.

Could the conclusions generalize to other types of anxiety such as GAD or OCD?

Which profilers in particular are you referring to because I've always thought that Callgrind is a profiler? perf?

It works until it doesn't at which point you have a massive, useless pile of uninterpretable garbage.

This is great: I like both the concept and how responsive the implementation is. Please consider open sourcing it.

> A canonical list of references from a leading figure would be appreciated by many.

That confirms the opposite, no?

I failed to find any evidence that this person is an OpenAI employee, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

> “if I didn’t chose to do it you cannot be angry at me."

Yes I can, because I didn't choose to be angry either.

I think that the term "software system" can have a much broader meaning than the one you are using here.

Not sure if raw data size is a good metric. One usually gains more information by reading a book than watching a movie.

I was not advocating for "online slacktivism", I was merely giving my opinion of what rules or laws ought to be introduced to the effect, akin to copyright laws or open-source licenses (it is not "online activism" to give correct attribution according to the terms of a license). Shouldn't we be able to have this debate, or do you think that this decision-making should be confined to policymakers?

This made me think that we, as a society, ought to have some sort of convention to mark AI-generated images as such, like a small watermarked symbol in a corner.

Shut up and calculate!

"To call a function, the program should place the first six integer or pointer parameters in the registers %rdi, %rsi, %rdx, %rcx, %r8, and %r9." This sounds like System V, hence GCC.

But now I'm curious to know which quotes you're referring to...

If you're looking for an accessible introduction/overview, try Contemporary Abstract Algebra by Joseph A. Gallian. It also includes lots of applications, some of which are relevant to cryptography.

With the EU having banned Russia from its airspace, I wonder what route these flights take.

I like this idea of incorporating trust and reputation. As for the curation of websites not scaling, some time ago I thought about the possibility of a search engine where the user supplies a list of trusted websites (for example, university websites, blogs of people they admire), and the search engine ranks pages based on link distance to these websites.

I tried that but everything after the # got stripped when I submitted the link.

I find it mildly entertaining to casually browse random 17-year-old code lying at the heart of the Linux kernel and encounter gems like this.

You wouldn't expect an article that talks about the long-term effects of COVID to also address the downsides of mask and restrictions, so why should the opposite be true? You can read independent arguments for both sides of the issue, judge their strengths and weaknesses, and then make up your own mind.

"This bloke won't haggle!"

What are you talking about? I'm sure he's being metaphorical.
