I have come to believe the theory that people have profoundly different styles of cognition :)

Alternate representations are incredibly useful to get as many styles of cognition on board as possible. I found I could grasp the equation immediately with help of the diagrams, and translate that to an internal abstraction representing the world. For me the equations themselves are a much more inert thing to approach and take much more effort to untangle.

We all think differently. Especially so the more abstract the thought is it seems. As we approach each individual's limit of abstraction. Then we start to diverge further and further in how we think. I personally am a very visual thinker, and find Einstein's descriptions of thoughts to match my experience of cognition: “Words or the language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be “voluntarily” reproduced and combined…but taken from a psychological viewpoint, this combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought — before there is any connection with logical construction in words or other kinds of signs which can be communicated to others.”

Einstein was smarter than me though.

I'm a computer scientist. I know some mathematicians, and was talking about matters of cognition with them. One of the mathematicians – a mathematician's mathematician who is easily able to learn math from maths books – told me that his style of thinking is effectively the same as is printed the books. My mind was blown. For me, reading the same books involved "translating" into half-abstract visual/sensory elements. Once translated into my native representation of cognition the acquisition is complete and I can think in the new visual-sensory-abstract symbols. My friend on the other hand basically thinks in the words and math symbols found in the books.
meh. leave it up. who cares. search engines. relevant results.

if it's really that bad of a question, why are there 20 answers for it?

of far greater concern are the outdated and incorrect answers with the coveted green check mark next to them.

one sees that green check mark and believes all manner of drivel written next to it.
The headline feels a bit too click-baity, but this really is serious stuff.

One of the most fundamental instructions of x86, the Jcc conditional jump, can apparently be executed incorrectly by most Intel CPUs out there.

What's worse, part of Intel's strategy for mitigation is to push compiler toolchain changes that, if deployed as they desire, will punish the performance of everybody on x86, including those who are using unaffected processors (cough AMD cough).
Oh I see now, I misinterpreted the sense of the question :)
First of all we should at least have a common definition what intelligence even is.

Even then I'm not sure we'd know what General Intelligence would be because all we know is Human Intelligence or maybe lower level Animal Intelligences where the problem solving mechanism seems to depend on biological body and it's form.

Humans navigate the world with automatic impulses which we evolved over time to deal with way too much signals from the environment so we can filter and react only to those important.

We can then use consciousness to slowly map new impulses as the environment changes and go back to autopilot for most of the time.

What if our intelligence isn't general but it's just enough to navigate the world we can perceive with out senses? What if we'll never be able to understand e.g. the quantum theory (or at least the part of a world experience which we call this way)? If there's is superset of out intelligence or different sets of intelligences which we just don't undestand?

We think that our problem solving can take on any problem but maybe we're only taking on the problems we can take on, limited to our perception of reality which can be limited?

So I think instead of calling it AGI the name should be more like Artificial Human-like Intelligence.

Oh, I have this "condition" or something similar, too. Not even with close friends but with strangers I pass in the supermarket. It doesn't happen often but it's very significant.

I think I somewhere read, but unrelated to ovulating, that this was made by nature to find suitable partners. Probably that natural smell is intensified by ovulating.

edit: And to be honest: I never told anyone before that I sometimes sense this different smell and I'm not sure I should. Women could probably feel uncomfortable and think their smell is somehow "bad" when others can sense it. Not sure.

The Turing test is too easy. My test would be when the AI can apply to a random remote job, get it and then receive salary for a few years, quit, apply to a new job with updated CV, get a raise etc without anyone noticing it is an AGI.
Smell is a important part of interpersonal relationships.

It's another example of what's lost working virtually.

It's not an advantage knowing why the person smells the way they do. Just what to do.

There are very strong relationships between couples and known smell genetics. (I think being different is good?)

> Type-A has completely disappeared from my life and that of my family's

This might be true for end users, but in my electronics work, I don't see even a single USB-C device around me, and I'm looking at about ~50 devices right now around my desk (dev boards/kits, logic analyzers, interfaces, accessories, microscopes, oscilloscopes, and other equipment).

USB-C only is perhaps fine on consumer laptops, but these are supposedly the more capable "Pro" machines, for, well, pros.
It's not bash, it's a shell script.

bash is not POSIX-compliant. This script is.
True. Simulations are always a simplification of reality and leave a lot out of the picture.

On the flip side, successful robotics concepts might have more chance of being relevant to AGI.
Every child reinvents the concept. It wasn't there on birth, and the word and phrases didn't contain it. That's a bit difficult topic to wrap ones head around, but it is critically important to differ between signified (the concept) and signifier (the words etc.).

The child develops concepts and is able to create and evaluate inferences, and thus able to understand metaphors etc.

The concept is what most AI approaches lack. Googles image search can identify apples, and cherries, and probably can categorize both as fruits, but it can't infer that this probably contains seeds, is a living being etc.
Once this is sorted out we would have a wonderful world. Using a single Thunderbolt port I connect my notebook to a dock and immediately convert the small notebook into a desktop with three external monitors plus many other ports. I can also magically use the same USB-C hub I use in the notebook in my mobile phone to add a keyboard and mouse plus an HDMI monitor. I have never seen this in the past: my previous notebook needed a specific dock to work and had a two monitors limit (with three different display ports available) while the phone needed a specific accesory/cable to connect to an external monitor.

And we have not started talking about eGPUs yet ;-)
You have to go out of your way to make a shell script that isn't easy to read. They're generally more readable at scale than "proper" languages.
Shame. When TSX was announced in 2012, I started looking forward to a day, years down the line, when it would be ubiquitous enough that I could write code that depended on it. (At least on Macs, which don't run AMD processors.) The first processors supporting it shipped in 2013... but then in 2014 Intel abruptly disabled it in all then-shipping processors via microcode update, due to an erratum. Eventually they started shipping processors without the bug, and 4-5 years passed, a decent chunk of the time needed for ubiquity. But now the clock's reset to zero once again.

Though, apparently Intel always disabled TSX on i3 processors for product segmentation, so maybe universal support was never in the cards...

I wish more CPUs would support at least a limited version of this. Basically, I want the equivalent of atomic<shared_ptr<T>>, but lock-free. That requires reading a pointer value from memory and then incrementing a reference count stored at that pointer, as a single atomic operation. I'm pretty sure that's doable with TSX, although I haven't actually tried it.
Although a hub is useful, it's worth dedicating one of your USB-C / thunderbolt ports to running your external screen, especially if you can't afford a good hub at the moment. I use a DP to USB-C cable on my MacBook Pro.

As the article points out, it's not worth bothering with HDMI as you'll easily end up with 30Hz at 4k. 30Hz is absolutely unbearable, and I think most developers buying a new screen now will invest in a good 4K monitor.

Note about my setup:
I then run 3008x1692 (2560x1440 is also good) scaled resolution on my 4K monitor as the full 3840x2160 resolution will make everything extremely small. Everything is crisp and running at a beautiful 60Hz.
At the moment it isn't terribly important, there's no known intervention that stops the onset of symptoms and there's no treatment that does anything other than address the symptoms.

It's useful to identify it early, but for the most part the early symptoms are mild.

This is really cool. I'm building a linux machine myself, but it's a hacky one. Like most people I'm using a raspberry pi with a touch screen and power bank to power the screen and the raspberry, all in a 3D printed case.

I have heard something similar about a grammar school in Germany. Every 2nd year a student killed himself and also drug abuse and other things like that are more commonplace there compared to other types of schools in the city.

It seems that many similar institutions cannot cope with the development of young people and then the pressure rises until some of them see no other choice but to end this or try to escape.

Also mental health problems seem to increase in young people.

Somehow I think they should get more attention from really skilled people with social skills and also the education system(s) need to change to allow them to grow up before putting too much pressure on them.

The issue at hand is that the 7-8Kg weight limit is complete bull. My carry-on luggage weighs 3.5Kg empty, so I'm at 50% the allowed limit even if I don't carry anything.

Here are a few tricks I tried.

1- Have your laptop on a slim sleeve. If the airline is doing weight checks, remove the laptop and hold it. That's a 2-3Kg gain.

2- Have a few cheap items (like a cheap umbrella) in your carry-on. If the airline tells you are over limit, then start removing these cheap items and throwing them. This shows the guy/girl that you are doing an effort. Tried this a couple times and they let me get on with it.

3- Talk to the guy/girl. Explain you have expensive items and that you can't put these electronics in your check-in luggage (batteries!).

4- Don't go over 12Kg. Try to be in the 9-11Kg range.

> So is there anything preventing me to fork the browser to pretend to display the ads and reap the rewards without actually displaying them? Doesn't this break the whole system?

Even if it were closed-source, technically there's nothing stopping you from binary patching your browser to do the same thing. But then again, there's nothing stopping you from putting an ad-blocker in your normal browser; and faking clicks on your own website to "milk" advertisers is already a thing that has to be dealt with.

I don't think either Brave's model, or its being open-source fundamentally changes the issues facing ad-supported systems.
Sounds like it is more like an wishful thinking from a person who spent his life mastering deep nets than a nitpick. Like "Sure deep nets can never be an AGI, but Humans are not AGI's so we can reach human level performance with deep nets, it is not a dead end! IT IS NOT A DEAD END!".

I think the saying "Science Advances One Funeral at a Time" applies here.
Yeah, in the cases of refurbishing very old buildings I've heard (is Lisbon), they often tear everything down - including the floors - except the structural brick walls, then rebuild from those. From that to full rebuild is just a small step.

That said, they generally integrate the facade with the building, not just leave it as a screen in front!

Managed K3s – The Story So Far
Be careful with Asus motherboards: it seems that Z390 boards will push some Asus software to Windows installations just by booting it unless you disable it properly in the BIOS.

As a consequence, you probably want to disable the BIOS option before booting any Windows installation (in my case, it was called "Q-installer", but it is different for gaming boards in my understanding). Until you disable it, it will reinstall and re-enable itself at boot.

See: https://www.techpowerup.com/248827/asus-z390-motherboards-au...

In my case, I noticed it thanks to Windows Server pointing out which service was slowing down shutdown, which was "AsusUpdateCheck". Increased the shutdown time by a few seconds.

I did not find any info about how to make Windows ignore the WPBT table.

AWS charges are really obscure. I think they make an effort at making it hard to estimate/determine how much you'll be charged. (ie: You charged for EC2 time, bandwidth, storage, etc...). That makes it very hard to see where the money is going.

Of course you could train a NN to do arithmetic, but this is much more impressive.
Training a NN network to solve problems with available tools means more abstraction, and is closer to AGI than just essentially learning a LUT.

There are so many wild and wonderful things that came out of 90s Microsoft.

One favourite of mine is Microsoft Music Producer, I think it was called. You could select genres, styles, tempo and a band then it would 'compose' mid files. I used them to generate royalty-free music for silly animations.

Sadly even any mention of this is very hard to find online now. I recall there being an old website where one could download it along with extra music styles; that can be found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070222062521/http://www.musicm...

This is very close to the netbook product category, such as the Eee PC by Asus or the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 or similar. Slightly larger than that popcorn thingy, but still very portable and could actually fit a larger pocket. I still own my IdeaPad S10 from 2008 and it runs just fine.
Lets take the argument one step further. You could take the room full of software engineers and automate most writing. Business, sports, not a problem. So the question is, how many journalists work as actual journalists in their field and which are easily replaceable by AI or unskilled humans. Here i think the initial comparison comes back. You could also get the room of software engineers to get a newspaper running. Full of clickbait, chum and all the other psychological tricks to get people hooked over shit content. Producing such content is an organization task like any else. Its not quality content but it doesnt have to be, you only need clicks. You wouldnt have journalists, but how many do we currently have who also work as such in "functioning news organizations"? Unless payed by a benefactor with deep war chest, very few journalists get to do any real journalism, simply because its not a profitable venture to pay all the research that didnt turn into big stories. The few that do have been on their deathbed for a while.

So on that level, sure, journalism isnt a profitable career option. The stuff that you do get paid for likely can also be done be anyone else who can handle the advertisement financed industry. Its the basic crux of the problem, journalism isnt profitable. Trying to solve that problem by trusting the market will leave us without professional journalism.
But there are lots of other factors involved.

We could get a Sub 300ms Response and Rendered, but if those results were not good, it would be seen as fast but inaccurate. No one complain about Google Results in its early days, it was fast, and comparatively accurate.

There is also a problem of varying response time, in ideal condition, all query and searches should be returned in roughly the same amount of time, that is because user do not understand there is a different in query complexity, to them all query are the same.

Without some sort of animation, user will be surprised to see their work being served and done without them really knowing and noticing, that could be both good and bad in different situations. ( Read Safari Rendering Progress Bar )

I am with you as far as the butterfly mechanism (aside from robustness issues), but for me the arrow keys are fine.

The bigger issue for me is lack of physical volume controls. I think it's extremely important for any device which produces sound to have a physical mute button. This would be less of an issue if the touch-bar were more reliable, but it often doesn't respond immediately, or else gets frozen and unresponsive, for instance with the volume slider up.
To be fair, the laws around flights are ridiculously bad and deserve much dissent since nearly 20 years for now.
