Yeah but the Collatz probably has one of the highest man-hours of actual waste.
Ergo:

> Could a syndrome so stealthy have lurked among us all along? Commins and van Nunen don’t think so. The surge in alpha-gal patients was too sudden and too great. Van Nunen has worked on Sydney’s North Shore for forty years. “Anyone who had anaphylaxis was sent to me, and I’ve talked to long-term residents,” she told me. “I know that patients didn’t have it before. It is an epidemic.” What triggered it still isn’t clear. Does the alpha-gal in a tick’s saliva piggyback on some virus or antigen that sensitizes people to it? “We lack a unifying hypothesis,” Commins said.
I use them because I know what I want to say out loud, but transcribing the pause with commas is incorrect because it's a comma splice, and I find that the semicolon often looks glaringly overly formal. So I've settled on the em-dash.
I hope that means it will improve now. There's such a rich space of features that they could do. Had some hope with their experimental Labs but I remember being underwhelmed and not seeing anything about it recently.
Just reread this comment and it's not easy to understand, but the edit window is passed.
What I meant is that they describe loglogn the same way you could describe O(n) or O(n^2) -- it "tends to infinity with n", even though my mental model for loglogn is to treat it as barely more than constant. See: https://cs.stackexchange.com/questions/148197/who-said-first...
Since loglog(n) tends to infinity with n, the additional term in the exponent tends to 0, meaning these constructions achieve growth only slightly faster than linear.
Would anyone else describe the previous asymptotic behavior like that? I mean obviously loglogn to O(1) is a quantum leap, but wouldn't you describe loglogn as "grows so slowly it's almost constant", so the constructions achieve growth "almost n^{1+c}"? But I guess that might be overcorrecting too hard.
Well, I agree with you that the parent comment is wrong inasmuch as it suggests we can't tell from context that mitchellh is using the term to mean "a value judgment" instead of "a form of psychosis". We can tell.
But I agree with the parent comment in that we shouldn't use the term "AI psychosis" to mean "a value judgment" instead of "a form of psychosis", because "AI psychosis" has already been used for 2.5 years to mean "a form of psychosis".
Yeah, but AI psychosis can also be used to mean the stronger thing that the parent comment refers to -- something like AI-induced psychosis, which was how I originally understood the term:
Learn by doing? Certainly helpful. But I feel like the real secret is to work with others who are good at software architecture. You can learn very efficiently that way.
Body size and metabolic rate are intertwined, a factor that is especially important to understand with regard to animals that live in aquatic environments, where heat loss is related to water temperature. Payne et al. developed a method to estimate routine metabolic rate based on measures from tagged fish, and combined the estimates with published respirometry rates to create a dataset spanning the entire body size range of extant fishes. Using these data, the authors found a scaling imbalance between heat production and loss that affects especially large, mesothermic fishes in warm waters. This imbalance both explains the distribution of these fish in cooler waters and suggests a special sensitivity to warming waters. —Sacha Vignieri

Abstract:
Body size and temperature set metabolic rates and the pace of life, yet our understanding of the energetics of large fishes is uncertain, especially of warm-bodied mesotherms, which can heavily influence marine food webs. We developed an approach to estimate metabolic heat production in fishes, revealing how routine energy expenditure scales with size and temperature from 1-milligram larvae up to 3-tonne megaplanktivorous sharks. We found that mesotherms use approximately four times more energy than ectotherms use and identified a scaling mismatch in which rates of heat production increase faster than heat loss as body size increases, with larger fish becoming increasingly warm bodied. This scaling imbalance creates an overheating predicament for large mesotherms, helping to explain their cooler biogeographies. Contemporary mesotherms face high fuel demands and overheating risks, which is a concern given their disproportionate demise during prior climate shifts.
Even in your analogy, it's appropriate to reject the terms of marriage and not wed this person. But it's unprecedented to also vindictively ruin their life (e.g. by unilaterally putting them in jail)
We see potential uses in companionship and affective interaction. The robot’s ability to elicit spontaneous touching and positive emotional responses suggests it could serve in therapeutic settings or as a social presence for people who spend time alone. The quiet operation and gentle movement make it suitable for environments where noise and sudden motions would be disruptive.
