Isn’t this just ontological then. It doesn’t seem like a novel observation that “measurement devices” collapse a wave function (Schrödinger) if you’ve defined a measurement device as such.
If I recall there was nothing ontological about the actual Copenhagen group's interpretation. They aimed to develop a predictive theory and nothing more. One of their key insights was that ontology simply doesn't play a role anymore. This led quickly to the discovery of QM, while ~100 years of fussing over the "reality" of the wave function has led to nothing.
The "Copenhagen interpretation" as we understand it, in which some thing "collapses" when measured, trades under the same name but was invented later. As a result the original interpretations of Bohr/Heisenberg and their philosophy of science have somewhat exited the discussion, even though they had the only defensible epistemology -- the rest as you say is just ontology.
That doesn’t mean seeing an SSID means you are at exactly that location.
If you are in a city you see 50 SSIDs at any given moment. Are you at those 50 locations at the same time? No. Is there a way to triangulate where you are exactly? No, its unreliable and not an exact science.
Crossing the border with $40k cash in the 1950s would be the equivalent to $450k cash in 2023 dollars. Sounds like they got that bit wrong or there’s more to the story.
On root-cause, I wonder if it’s some variation or combination of “publish or perish” linked to failure averse political and cultural structures? I don’t think the circumstances are unique to SK as you see similar effect globally where success is measured purely quantitatively (I.e X number of published papers for promotion, X% score on a test to avoid military service).
One thing I can’t get my head around is how the surrounding narrative was so bizarre. Particularly the “death bed dying wish”. Is this a result of 20+ years of lead poisoning combined with aforementioned political issues?
Intuitively this has to be right, ie, stemming, lemmatization plus data pre processing for sentiment has to impact the kinds of reasoning and logic applied. That has to be transitory until models can handle a larger word vocabulary and better development/sanitizer training sets.
It seems fairly pedantic in the meantime to make sweeping projections discounting LLM reasoning, seemingly over a dispute that a flying lemur have wings. Airplanes, hang gliders, kites are all described as having wings, heck even penguins, which do not fly, have wings.
Wow, I've mostly converted to DuckDuckGo for the past two or so years, so are these "google assistant" style placements now part of their core product? or is this a setting that you've enabled?
If it's part of the core... Wow, what a useless cess pool google has become.
Yes, those are default search results and the same content that drives Google Home's voice responses when you ask it a question. Originally Google stuck to Wikipedia/Knowledge Graph types of answers but have expanded this in recent months to try to answer just about any question you search, however dubious the answer's source.
This should really have been a separate fix & installed without user interaction. Instead this is 450 Megs & requires a restart. It'll take days for it to get out to those at risk.
This is just a personal anecdote , but I've had a large number of Dell laptops (100+) which all seem to have recovery partitions rather than install media now days. Whenever something fails, it's been a hard drive hardware failure, In which case the recovery partition is completely useless.
I have never used a recovery partition successfully.
The fact that you have such a large number of laptops in your possession suggests to me that you're probably in a corporate IT setting (apologies if I'm wrong). In such a case, Hardware failures are probably going to be the most prevalent mode of failure for needing a system re-image, since software usage is going to be in-line with corporate policies. People aren't going to venture into warez sites, etc.
But for the average, non-technical user, I think you'd see a much higher incidence of needing a system re-image due to viruses, malware, spyware, etc.
But then the average user is likely to take it to any number of computer repair shops who might try the recovery partition, or they might just reimage from an OEM install disk they have lying around/available.
The people hosing their system like that aren't likely to be able to use a recovery partition. I would guess they'd take the computer to a shop to get it fixed.
