What kind of code? Code that satisfies a spec? Then the AI needs to be able to understand the spec. Code that works? Then the AI needs to be able to tell whether the code works. For either of those, I think we need more than "weak AI".

Of course, a weak AI may be able to write syntactically valid code that doesn't necessarily work. That's... not much of a breakthrough.
Blizzcon is just a few short weeks away, I'd love to see a repeat of last years publicity crisis
The bank paid to establish it, but it is run by the Nobel Foundation, and the winners are selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (which also selects the winners for chemistry and physics), and it follows the same rules as the original prizes.
Same. I've seen a few of the videos that are used in that video and some of those videos (in longer form) are very powerful too.

For example, that short clip of the blindfolded prisoners on the ground in handcuffs is a drone video that is believed to show religious prisoners being taken to "re-education" camps. Of course, the Hong Kong protesters fear they will also be subject to "re-education" when the Chinese state regains control of Hong Kong as this transition period winds down:

A lot of APIs don’t support the tooling you mentioned, have all sorts of rough edges (return improper http codes, or don't return them at all), or act...quirky at scale (based on my experience at an automation workflow org).

Of course, as APIs improve (OpenAPI, etc), the barrier to entry for all workflow tools declines (which is a good thing!). You're then just serializing and deserializing JSON (or a mutation thereof) between two or more steps. Just as Google makes their Terraform provider a first class citizen by autogenerating the Terraform provider based off of their APIs (Hashiconf 2018 SF talk), so could integration partners for workflow automators. Just takes time for the ecosystem to mature.

The article surprised me. I was forming an opinion that streaming has the opposite effect. When I work at my coworking office, they play a continuous stream of indie rock aimed at adults. Muted guitars, raspy whispers, for well adjusted Nirvana fans. It's like an algorithm found the balance between muzak and the sex pistols.

It is possible to surrender without a fight. In so doing, one avoids a power struggle, by yielding the ground the other side was demanding.

I am human, of course I can be personally offended. But if I had some fair competition and the winner happened to disagree with my political leanings, it's tough cheese. The moment your company becomes political, there is an expectation that they react to every single outrage. No sane person would link the beliefs of the rightful winner to the companies public facing ethics, but, if you continuously inject yourself in such matters, it becomes expected of you.

The work place is something different, there is an agreed etiquette which is there to ensure productivity. Employees can typically bring their personal lives into the office up until the point it causes disruption.

I've been in a high stress work place with people verbally abusing each other. It could have been grounds for firing, but it was resolved by simply taking them aside and talking with them. In other cases I've had quite interesting discussions in a coffee break about politics that I didn't agree with. None of these cases reflected on the company itself and neither of these cases I would expect the company to weigh in on.

That's not the near-term scary scenario. The near-term scary scenario is a machine learning system that's better than most CEOs.

What happens when someone develops a system that measurably makes more profitable decisions than 70% of CEOs? That isn't totally out of reach. Capital would flow to companies run by such systems. We could end up with machine learning systems running the corporate world, based purely on better ROI.

A good start on the problem would be to train on a collection of funding proposals, such as old Kickstarter announcements. Look deeper than the hype. Go out and suck up all the information you can on the founders, using credit databases. (They're asking for money, so it's a legit credit query). Do an automated background check. Then check on how the project did, five years later. That's your training set.

That's like saying "until US president is elected, talking about elections is a clickbait speculation". Policies are born out of speculation about the future, and public speculation (aka debate) about what is going to happen can influence them. We see evidence (NBA, Blizzard, Apple, Mariott, Gap, etc.) of US companies prostrating themselves before Chinese censorship. It is reasonable to discuss this phenomena and speculate what policy change it may bring in.

Kaepernick was not suspended by the NFL at any point during the anthem protests. Neither was he fined. There is nothing in the NFL rulebook about what you should do during the anthem.

Kaepernick suspects that his activism is the reason no team has signed him since he became a free agent. And he may be right. But he was not fired, suspended, or in any way punished officially for what he did.
The pollution thing I understand, and the worst part about the US system is it allows the greedy psychopaths at the strings of large multinationals to go unchecked.

How is posturing to take over the peaceful island of Taiwan a protective act? How is allowing NK to blackmail the world with nukes good?

These countries you listed... many would be in perpetual civil war for a century or be in the grips of autocratic strongmen if the US didn't go in? So people like you don't want the US to act, and then if we pull out or don't act you say "where is the good in the world?"

Most of these countries have achilles heels in having a valuable resource that can fall into a few hands easily. The middle east countries are built on oil. Colombia drugs. Other central american countries, trafficking. The Phillipines isn' that bad?

So you say you don't want the US to interfere, and then you say they interfered too late in WW2? You seem more like a US hater than a realist.
Sorry for not entirely related to the main thread, but since it seems there are many people in this thread knowledgable on what's going on in Hong Kong, I'd like to ask 2 questions.
I'm not siding with CCP, but my issue is I'm not sure I can side with the protestors either. Because

1. Does the protestors representing the majority of citizens? If yes at this stage why the working class in Hong Kong hasn't started long term strike yet? I would imagine that the most effective non violence method of protesting by citizens would be stop working. That would for one stop the tax flow to the government.

2. Is it necessary for protestors to be violent against pro-China civilians/properties? I'm aware that the protestors have been subject to violence from both police and mobs alike, but fighting for democracy should be a higher cause than revenge? Aren't they fight for freedom of speech among others? Or it's just freedom for themselves and violence and totalitarianism for who else disagrees? [1]

Again I love freedom to the point I've spent many years fighting it for myself and helped a few people. I support Taiwan to be an independent country. But we all know many bad things have been committed under the name of freedom as well. Now I'm not sure if the Hong Kong protestors are fighting under the name of freedom to actually express their hatred toward mainlanders? Thanks for reading and hope my questions would not offend anyone. Just would like to understand the situation better.

Edit: some explanations on the downvotes would be nice.

> A huge percentage of our speech is attempted "programming."

I absolutely agree. I'm not saying ban hate speech because its programming -- I'm saying ban it because it's evil and effective.

It's morally reprehensible to defend the existence of advocating for racial superiority when we have witnessed hundreds of times where that leads to genocide.

Agreed, across the board it's the automation features that I miss the most. Macro recording is about all they offer, and while you can do some batch runs I haven't been able to replicate anything but some pretty simple actions.

They seem to be focused on Photoshop plugin compatibility over other features at the moment, which is good for some specialized workflows, but I really want better automation in the whole suite.

I'll at least say the lack of automation has finally pushed me to learn more about what I can do with the likes of imagemagick, but the feature-specific use cases like you bring up will be a gap until they fortify those automation features.
I have used Kaleidoscope [0] for a few years now to resolve merge conflicts, it's a powerful and beautiful app, and the key bindings are great to fly through conflicts and select "mine", "theirs", "mine-then-theirs" or "theirs-then-mine". And you can also hand edit the resolved version. It's also great for git diffs and file/dir diffing, and can be summoned from the command line with `ksdiff`.

I find it suspicious that silent conquest of this kind is not spoken about more in politics. It's a very real threat to US sovereignty, especially with superpowers like China and Israel.
> Let us not put burden of being politically correct on free market corporations.

Isn't that what blizz just did? They were worried about political correctness so they banned someone?

> his opinions were considered against the current acceptable position on the matter, and then he was banned, I am sure everyone would have applauded blizzard.

Why are you so sure of this?
Boycotts only work when a reasonable number of people can make an impact on the bottom line of a corporation. Corporations have grown so large that the size of the group necessary to make that kind of impact is as large as a large corporation. Viral social media witch hunts can have that kind of impact, so if you want to organize a boycott, you better hire a PR company.
That's a really good question. You can't realistically go door to door asking people if they support their oppressive government. How do marketing folks get a pulse with public expression of opinion or survey results? Click rates and referrers on controversial stories?

I'm perfectly happy reading & discussing the topic from a science fiction or philosophical perspective, and those views definitely do have merit, but at this point they are at best thought experiments. There is no rational connection from AI where it stands today to "it will take over the world".

I think that this distinction isn't widely understood as the definition of privilege. If you look it up in a dictionary privileges you'll see a lot of definitions where privileges are defined as a special case of rights so they are most definitely not mutually exclusive

I think this is good and wise commentary. I've met RMS and while I do admire his work, there is no denying that in inter-personal matters, he is a repulsive troll. I've sat in an audience and watched in disbelief as he rambled on while stuffing his hand down the back of his pants, rooting around back there, then pulling out his fingers and sniffing them, all without missing a beat.

He and many other people would like, I think, to live in an abstracted world where they interact mostly with other people using computers as intermediaries, so that they don't _have_ to spend what they consider to be wasted time on learning decent inter-personal behavior. I guess that's fine, as it goes, but I think we are learning that living in that mindset means that one's toxic thoughts can't help but leak through the terminal interface.

I will actually be glad when it isn't good enough for people to be technically brilliant; we also can and should insist that they be decent and respectful in their inter-personal behavior as well.

I'm reading a fascinating biography of some of the science fiction writers that produced the so-called "golden age," called _Astounding_ by Alec Nevala-Lee. The author does not hold back from mentioning that widely beloved figures like Isaac Asimov had terrible habits like snapping women's bra straps whenever he'd walk past them, or groping female fans whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Full disclosure: I myself did the bra strap thing a lot... when I was sixteen.

Interesting chip. It's quite literally almost an entire standard function generator on one chip, with a bandwidth far exceeding some similar chips.
