That’s a good point and thanks for the reference.

I added “as most understand it” to caveat cases like this one, where there exists a non-falsifiable theory about how cognition works under which the GPT algorithm and “understanding” would be non-orthogonal.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an interesting theory, but with no evidence of existence or non-existence do we really need to spend this much time on it? This is why I invoked cults - arguing about theories without evidence smells a more like a religious argument than a scientific one.

I think I mostly just wish we could end the argument by all agreeing the following (I think) non-controversial points...

1) GPT is very impressive
2) GPT is not perfect
3) we don’t have a fucking clue how human cognition works
4) because of 3, how “close” GPT is to human cognition is an open question

Well the tricky part is knowing about this tool. Both are relatively easy, and both are easier than finding a custom tool that burns the iso to a usb.
But this isn't an issue for statistically modelling causal relationships specifically, this is a core problem of modelling causal relationships at all. The fact that GPT-3 is sensitive to the real world changing, or to having insufficient information to form a universally accurate model says nothing interesting about GPT-3.
The blame for this lies solely with those with the political and institutional power to have mitigated the impacts of this global pandemic.

> Gary Marcus doesn't claim that they claim that it's an AGI, so I really have no god damn clue what y'all are going on about here.

Well, who is Gary Marcus anyway? I looked up his publications in the last 2 years on Google Scholar and I see no hard contributions, all he has are some publications about futurology and AI critique. His wiki page says he's a cognitive scientist who once sold an ML company to Uber, but not an AI expert.

Why didn't Gary invent a better language model to show us how it's done? If he knows better than the guys at OpenAI, let him show the path ahead. When someone has superior results it's not constructive to throw bullshit at their accomplishments.
If that's true then why has nobody invented a missile that is equipped with a metal storm [0] as its warhead?

autoCXX is Google-y, but cxx doesn't appear to be, and enforcing noexcept in a general use tool seems ill-advised.
> The point is that the C++ code should be safe because the C++ programmer should not introduce UB on its C++ code.

That's a misunderstanding of safety, and ub, and `unsafe`.

The C++ code could be unsafe when called with certain values which it is not normally called with. This is common. This is also not allowed in Rust, it'd be unsound.

Furthermore C++ has different notions of safety than Rust. C++ allows dangling and null pointers (whether raw or smart), it doesn't allow calling them. Rust does not allow dangling or null pointers unless they're raw. You can have a null unique_ptr, you can not have an empty Box.
Partying like it's 1929.
Does nix?
The people running colleges know entirely that opening will lead to outbreaks, but have decided they can collect in-person tuition with safety theater, switch to virtual classes when the outbreaks emerge, and then blame the students. Virtual classes are a bad deal at that price? So sorry, you should’ve behaved better!

It’s a bad faith, bait and switch that puts lives at risk so the bloated administrations of these universities can continue collecting paychecks. Even professors recognize this and are protesting the reopenings across the country.
Then the medallion system needs to be improved. But the medallion system served a purpose of limiting the number of cars. Traffic in big cities has become much worse precisely because of Uber and Lyft. The cost of that to everybody is orders of magnitudes higher than the slightly higher cab fares people were paying.

I don't think it matters if the product is selfhosted and opensource. That said, in my circles, people are wary about deploying software from specific countries even if they are selfhosted and opensource. I think part of the issue is that docker is the preferred more of deployment these days and sometimes it's not clear what does into the docker image (i.e when you don't build your own images, which you always should)
With a lot of people losing their jobs, there is less economic activity in general.

A lot of people have really cut back their spending.
> We can have a different system where there are no medallions, the number of cars aren't artificially constrained, but the companies running them need to obey existing laws.

The only reason why the laws changed at all was because of Uber and Lyft.

Nobody would have changed the system if they didn't come in.
What’s particularly galling is that some of the people attempting to blame the students are most familiar with how students behave.
I'm not sure if this will work. Google results are absolutely horrible for me, but not for my brother. It may be because they don't have a profile on me, but they have years of data on him. Using a proxy search engine may result in degraded results for someone who is currently getting good results from Google search.

If it's for business use you should be able to expense it.
Kinda?

It needs to ensure that whatever preconditions those libraries have which are not reflected in their API because the languages they use don't allow for it are never broken. So let's say a libgit function takes a pointer (for an array) and an index, the rust bindings must ensure that the pointer is valid and the index is within the array.

Will there be bugs and things which will be missed? Likely, after all we've seen that in pure-rust unsafe code, including the standard library.

But the library "can't" just yolo and expose the entire thing as-is through a safe interface. As in technically it can do that just fine, but that's completely unsound even if it's effectively never called incorrectly.

I found this super-interesting, but the article's cliff hanger was left unsatisfactorily unresolved.

So skeletal records show that malocclusion wasn't regularly observed before around the time of the industrial revolution. Why not? I presume that mainstream orthodontics is evidence-based and that these guys are either deluded or charlatans, but on the other hand, they at least had the scientific curiosity to challenge the status quo. I don't buy their conclusion -- and the incel/alt right/whatever weirdness doesn't help -- but how does mainstream dentistry account for the sudden physiological change?
Thanks, points well taken! I think parsing .gitignore plus some basic exclusion like node_modules would be a good start.
For the free version, you're totally right that it should pick 100 functions that are more interesting to play with. To avoid assuming the project structure like App.vue, I'll probably prioritize showing connected components with the most nodes.
Sorry for the issue on Django projects, I'll test it out and see what's going on there.

It looks like a nice tool doing it's job well :-) I'd also consider services like provisioned DynamoDB tables or Kinesis streams in this context because there you can also waste lots of money depending on your setup. For example, you could decrease the provisioned read/write capacity for a DynamoDB table or decrease the shards of a Kinesis stream over night.

No amount of “personal responsibility” is going to prevent an otherwise unchecked pandemic from further spreading where you have large numbers of young people clustered in housing and classes.

This isn’t a problem of individual virtue, it’s an institutional failure across many levels that’s being blamed on its victims.
Ultimately the goal is that nobody gets kidnapped. One way to ensure that is to ensure ransoms can't be paid, by threatening criminal penalties to anyone who pays a ransom.

Of course this means if your child is kidnapped, you have a choice between going to jail, or receiving one finger or toe per week in the mail for the next half-year or so. (That is, if you're a generally law-abiding citizen who doesn't know the ins and outs of money laundering and you're pretty sure you'll get caught. If you think you can make the payment and get away with it, this changes your calculus.)

When your kid is horribly murdered as a result of your unwillingness to break the law, it's a cold comfort that the law's wise policy will theoretically eventually save hundreds or thousands of others' kids from the same fate.

I find it fascinating that it's illegal to pay to help a child who's in physical danger of being tortured / murdered, but apparently not illegal to pay to prevent simple doxxing. It seems like it ought to be the reverse, the law should show mercy to an individual person trying to save the life of their relative, but be more strict when it comes to a large business or institution trying to prevent merely economic or informational harms.

> The unsafe in `unsafe mod ffi { ... }` is literally the proof that all APIs exposed in the block are sound to call from safe Rust.

I think there might be a misunderstanding here. I interpreted the `unsafe mod ffi { ... }` to be like `unsafe fn foo()`, declaring the module as unsafe, not an unsafe block where we're telling the compiler we will maintain the invariants ourselves.

It is somewhat unfortunate both the proof obligation and proof 'declaration' use the same token.

What you are missing is that technological advancement can accelerate exponentially. Couple this fact nothing can move faster than light. This means if you don't stamp out alien life as soon as you encounter it then the next time you come back they might already have achieved technological parity with you. And they might not be as forgiving as you are. This means you have to hide and you have to exterminate any alien life that knowns about your existence. I do think if oumuamua was an alien probe then we should be gravely concerned.

I've always felt the same about all those fractals and chaos books: Pretty pictures, feigenbaum constant, ... All fascinating, but I never saw any real application from it.

It's not just that alchemy was not "scientifically disproven" in Newton's time. There was no such thing as "scientific" and "pseudo-scientific". Reading about Newton's thinking about alchemy is a fascinating look at a way of thinking that we can hardly imagine today. I also thought that it is a nice reminder of the (certain but unimaginable) limitations of our present thinking. There is a fascinating (but pretty academic) book about Newton's Alchemy: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Foundations-Newtons-Alchemy-Cambrid...

The administrators want to have their cake and eat it, several ways over.

They want college students to return, at least for a bit, to justify charging for room and board. They also want the root cause of any “okay, everyone go home” orders to be the students themselves, to better justify keeping all that room and board money. But they also desperately want to avoid any awkward questions about why they didn’t see this coming. It’s really hard for the casual observer to not wonder if the administrators are just plain stupid.
Good marketing. Reminds me of the time when I was a student and I reached the end of my money while there was still some month left.

Unfortunately, for a lot of people this end-of-month problem is still a reality. And until that changes, I'm afraid that the Earth is just at a lower priority.
> ownership in a cooperative is not alienable

In the sense that such ownership is not represented in shares that can be traded on a market, sure. But there is nothing to prevent a particular worker from leaving a cooperative, or a new worker from joining one.

> Labor isn't capital, at least not since we abolished slavery

I didn't say labor was capital. I said the skills, training, and knowledge of a worker are capital. Abolishing slavery just means making it illegal for anyone else other than the worker themselves to own that capital.

However, the worker owning that capital is by no means the same as the worker understanding and making use of all of the advantages of that ownership. Most workers don't, which is why most workers find themselves in a poor bargaining position with respect to people who do understand the advantages of ownership of capital.

> We live in a capitalist society.

We live in a society where capitalism is a significant force, yes. But it's not the only one.

> the narrative of labor-capital tension

Is not vacuous, granted, since there are people who believe in it and act on those beliefs.

However, it is, IMO, a highly misleading and pernicious narrative, because it misleads workers into thinking that they don't own any capital themselves, and that their lack of capital ownership--rather than their failure to understand and take advantage of the capital they do own--is what puts them in a poor bargaining position, which then has to be compensated for somehow.
I think everyone agrees that option 1 is better than 2.
What? It seems pretty reasonable to be against it. Code clarity is the number one priority and the ffi are going to add cognitive overhead / clutter / boilerplate which is harmful.
GPT-3 is a statistical model of text sequences, it has just textual understanding of the world. But the funny thing is that it can do lots of tasks without explicit training, and that is something amazing, it shows a path forward. In order to have real understanding it needs to be an embodied agent that interacts with the world like us, and has goals and needs like us.

Depends what you're talking about by meaning.

It correctly interprets the first part of the prompt as 'farduddle ~= jump' and the second part as an instruction to generate a sentence containing farduddle, possibly utilising a corpus of existing sentences containing jump in the context of 'really fast'. But that's also a series of instructions you could imagine as a DSL a relatively simple program could parse and generate a satisfactory response to. Which I believe the OP is classing as 'structure' since it's just performing translations based on familiar syntax. Understanding the concept of 'jumping' is a step further, before we get into the more philosophical stuff about qualia and whether things that can't jump can ever truly understand the experience of jumping...

> if you’re into flight simulators

I think this will be a problem a bit - apart from initial WOW effect, not that many people are into civilian flying. Its way too complex for casual gamers and learning curve is almost vertical, you need ultra-expensive hardware (how many want to spend 1000s in covid times?) and to be honest, non-combat realistic flight sims are really not for everybody, I would say not for most gamers.

People rave about details, but plenty of places look on similar level as if I would take google earth's built in flight sim - I am talking about what I've seen around Mont Blanc, not exactly a remote place. Yes, few more nicer buildings and slightly more detail, but that's hardly enough for non-geeks.

Sorry to sound so pessimistic, it is a fantastic game in its own tiny little niche and I am sure most issues will be resolved over time, I just think nowadays that niche is pretty small and won't expand that much because its not something that's easy to grasp and have fun quickly.

Yes, yes, but medallions are regulated! By the government! That makes them obviously superior, and a more ethical choice.
