Couldn't help myself and ran a quick analysis:

https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1tstVoKkVP_8B7dTOofa...

nice plot at the bottom.

rank correlation between GDP and life expectancy (child mortality would have been maybe a bit better). uses a 20 year window in both directions per year. bootstraps for 5% and 95% quantiles of the rank correlation.

there looks to be a max around 1992, and steady downhill in correlation since then.

this seems unlikely to be an artifact of the analysis, though 1992 is eerily close to 20 years from the last date. 2013 is the last year where we have at least 15 years total symmetriclaly around the given year to include in the correlation for that year.

Yes, but it can be more of a pain keeping track of pairs. In production though, this is what's done. And given a fault, the debug binary can be found in a database and used to gdb the issue given the core. You do have to limit certain online optimizations in order to have useful tracebacks.

This also requires careful tracking of prod builds and their symbol files... A kind of symbol db.

I thought that what constitutes a measurement is well understood; it's just the entanglement between the experiment and the observer, and the process is called decoherence - and the collapse itself is a probabilistic process as a result.

AFAIK an EoT is not required to design experiments to determine if it's a real physical phenomenon vs. a mathematical trick; people are trying to think up those experiments now (at least for hidden variable models of QM).

It literally gives you google results (+ additional search providers, usually not in top results)... without the added spam. It's therefore superior to "peak google results".

What are you talking about LLM services? default search behavior does not use any LLMs (except any Google might use to reorder their top 10 results internally).

You can set up the terminal+tmux to forward all the important keys to console emacs. I like iterm2 for its extreme configurability. Others say kitty terminal with the kitty term emacs library is great. I never got that working with tmux.

Ingrid Daubechies threw a big party on her 64th birthday and invited all her old students and collaborators; we even had a conference around it.

Share your dotemacs/gptel config? I'm not in love with emacs eider integration. Wondering how to put direct editing/control to the model. Still very cludgy with gptel though I've been using it for months
