Either too much chaos or too much order are indeed failure conditions that appear in our history/stories/myths. So I'd not go to either extreme of that spectrum. Merely persisting is not sufficient for something to be moral

Because when we get the opposite, our own behaviour has ultimately driven us into the ground and we end up in hell or dead.

From a game theory perspective, morality encapsulates behaviour that is viable over multiple interactions across long stretches of time.

Persuasion minus intent is simply making up your own mind. A microwave's tone could be chosen by the manufacturer to signify quality, true. However the primary meaning of the ding itself, to me is that it is signalling that my timer

OSS definitely has a reliability and credibility problem on its hands. Codes of Conduct that prioritize belonging over, say, competence and truthfulness is not helping. We need more people like the old Linus that are more concerned with the

What is a dog trying to persuade you of when it's wagging it's tail? What is the microwave trying to persuade me of when it beeps?

Why do I want to *persuade* the other person that I'm listening? I might not be and therefore go down a road I don't find relevant to me. Honest signalling would allow the other person to course correct.

...or I might not care about persuading or being persuaded, as much as seeing an improved perspective reveal itself to both of us. It's the difference between dialog and discourse.

I have no interest in being effective at changing someone's perspective towards my own. I express myself truthfully and authentically. That way both of us might learn something. I would rather be known for my sincerity rather than alwa

Also known as manipulation. You cannot get to a better combined perspective if you are not presenting yourself truthfully.

From the article: When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, collaborate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. When I am in a dialog, my goal is not to &quo

Vehemently disagree. We derive our allegiances and enemies not from facts, but from our goals and values. It is completely reasonable that (minor) facts have relatively little influence on our larger goals. The author is confused about this

From the reviews it sounds mainly from the OO/Java and heavy design up front paradigm and not very Agile / test driven. Is that fair? I'd really like a philosophically minded book that integrates these relatively newer approa

I don't have faith in the process anymore. Wiki-lawyering to remove content, is too effective. To what end? Saving disk space? I'm no longer motivated to fight deletionism in my domain. I don't want to spend time that is not

Unfortunately Wikipedia has also been heading in a disappointing direction. I now expect everything on there to be filtered through a specific political perspective. Deleting information is much easier than adding, so pesky facts are unlike

Leadership is definitely somewhere I can improve. I'll check out the book, thanks. I feel in my last leadership position I was too friendly, giving my team too much room to not be serious to improve. In a not insignificant way it contr

Indeed. It shows that the pi formulation is actually somewhat ugly because it lacks symmetry.

It's not about verification of the jwt, it's about hiding the roles from the user.

by janto 5y ago
Roles are an approach towards query optimization, but the question placed a constraint on the user not knowing about them. Encoding the role information so it is not visible to the user is a potential solution.

Can you encrypt the role names for when it might be seen by a user?

If you give a human a "compliment sandwich" they are likely to take the compliments and throw away what they don't like. It will weaken your intent behind initiating the dialog. A commitment to positive regard and support fro

The only thing secrecy would take care of is why we are missing information. If you rely on the absence of info to contradict a theory, without taking this variable into account, then you will come to a weakly supported conclusion. A tricky

I'm having a hard time imagining how using Bayesian optimization would improve safety during the search process, especially since in practice it often tends to just give approximately uniform sampling of a space anyway. It really likes
