The thing about these arguments for the impossibility of AI/AGI is that they inherently rest on the idea that they know what "human intelligence". So they have the same weaknesses as arguments project a set timeline for AGI.

We won't build a duplicate of the human brain - unless we have AGI first to tell us how. But we really don't know what portions of the human brain are needed for useful AGI.

You can look at GPT-3. On the one hand, never being reliable puts a crimp on practical applications. One the other hand, it does a lot of amazing things that seem human. I'd say that since we don't know where we're going in a profound way, we don't know how far we have to go.
This must be weighed against the ease with which a company such as Amazon can borrow money - they will be working with a very low interest rate in any case.
> publicly insinuating that the man was a pedophile

A person who started it by telling him to "stick his submarine where it hurts". A person who also was known to visit, alone, countries that are known for freewheeling sexual tourism. Sometimes it's hard to take the high road:

That's hilarious, because the Wolfram Language is actually quite lispy. Or, at least you can write it in a very lispy style.
Most modern routes also routinely live various security holes, I wouldn't trust the built-in Guest WiFi functionality at all.

Better yet, run a separate network device and VLAN for untrusted devices.

> similar amounts of virus in vaccinated people

Yeah right, gonna have to see a reference for that. Is it 'some vaccinated people have been found with equivalent amounts of virus' or 'on average they have the same amount of virus'. Because they're vastly different scenarios.
I do not see how the things that you mentioned could not apply to an https+html subset.

I personally only ever set the temperature to max hot or max cold. Then I adjust fan speed if it's too much.
I am also surprised at how far the skateboarders can go, but to be fair your estimate of 5-10x is way too large.

The cyclist in this case averaged 37.5 km/h, which is really impressive over 24 hours. 5-10x slower would be 3.75-7.5 km/h, so somewhere between a very slow walk and a very, very slow jog.

Plus, the skateboards they are using are not going to be regular ones but purpose built and similar to downhill longboards.
Not sure what exactly you mean by QoS, but there is the `prio` keyword, which lets you put packets into priority queues.

However, I tried it a while back and couldn’t actually make it do anything useful, but that might have been me misconfiguring it.
It was a single person (per the article). It's not like Musk personally harassed this person. And if your org gets big enough, you will eventually inadvertently acquire a few sketchy apples (probably because their work is at least good).
You can do Cmd-F12 to show a popup list of globals, classes, methods, and functions and then you can type to filter the list.

I agree. I think that police could call someone important in Uber and ask for the data about cancelled rides. They just choose not to.

Check the Amiga class in the C++ source:

Hilariously, the instance variables map 1:1 with the chips present on an Amiga motherboard. It's a great display of clean OOP modeling, but it might get messier once they add support for Amiga models with different chipsets.
Upvoted because this seems like a perfectly rational comment even though you're getting hammered
And that’s fine, you might even be right. It’s not the opinion they are parodying, it’s the foolish arguments often used to “prove” it.
I strongly disagree with you.

Since the beginning of Covid, my workplace has converted almost fully into remote working. For a lot of people this has been great, no commute, flexible working hours, ect.

For me, it has been a living nightmare and I believe I have narrowed it down to one thing; the constant stream of messages that I am now getting. Everything is unfiltered, instant and arriving at all times.

This has resulted in message fatigue where I am no longer able to connect with my friends.

I feel that platforms like Pony work to eliminate that. Remove the anxiety from checking messages and add a structure that everyone can follow.

I sincerely hope platforms like this become more popular.

In summary: The author developed a simple kernel module that implements a custom executable format (thus "my own private binary").

The kernel module does not check any binary meta data, instead it just checks for the file extension ("*.com"). There is no actual format, only a flat binary that is loaded into memory and executed, just like *.com executables on MS DOS.

This allows the author to create really tiny exectuables.
You share that experience with what seems a lot of people. The quiet clicks seem to have chattering issues.

I have probably been lucky. A friend had one switch that chattered, but I opened it up and cleaned out some of the lube and it was fine.

That is why I usually recommend the clicky switches. They seem to not have that problem. They feel even nicer to type on IMO, but I am not the kind of guy to spend $150 on a keyboard when I have one that I like (a 2015 secure pro that never had issues).
Doesn't Firefox sync send off the data encrypted with your password (unknown to them) anyway? This is my understanding. I don't think Firefox can make use of the bookmarks synced to them at all.

Advent of Code 2021
The author is mixing a lot of largely unrelated topics. Emitting light from your residence is just an externality that can be positive or negative depending on the situation.

The question “who should pay for lighting?” is a classic question that comes up when discussing street lights in the context of theoretical user-pays economics models. As in “what services can potentially be implemented in a user-pays model? for instance you can’t practically charge somebody for benefitting from a street light”.

Using somebody else’s wifi is related to neither of those topics, because that’s about consuming somebody else’s limited resources without their permission. The legality and morality of that question relates to whether the wifi broadcaster should expect that to occur when using unsecured wifi, and whether they should have any obligation to take reasonable steps to prevent it if they don’t want it happening.
Software development was dominated by women in the early days because men supposedly deemed it low class job.

I actually think the real issue is that men are not always professional when working with women that they find attractive. Time for personal anecdote: Every woman I know in tech has been hit on by coworkers, sometimes multiple times even though turning down the man. Depending on the guy, it can get real nasty. In addition, they all hear the same thing at least once "Wow you know programming/hacking/linux, pretty cool for being a girl". Imaging hearing that shit over and over again, of course you will quit.

My point is, there are many factors at play here. Sadly, I don't think there is a good solution to this problem.
What are you responding “yes” to? The part I’m disagreeing with is that men are uniquely assholes.
Also the term "rent seeking" fits here

Here’s another one.

I know someone who’s upstairs neighbours radiator pipes ran through their apartment. The pipes are scalding hot when the neighbour’s heating is on.

What is the legality of slapping a big honking heat sink on the pipes?

He never did it but we discussed it, from both technical and ethical points of view.

Potatoes! In 1988 I rode from Portland PDX up to Astoria and down to N. LA in 17 days, with maybe 30lbs of gear. Camped every night. I was very poor. Lost my wallet the first day, noticed 50 miles out. I returned to where I thought I lost it, nope, had to spend the night in a homeless shelter in Vancouver across the river before I could get a wire the next day. (I learned a lot about life talking with the "homeless" people in that shelter. They took me in, as I was just another variant of "hobo" to them) The next day I retraced my previous day's path, so add on another 100 miles, maybe 1400 in all.

After about 5 days, I could no longer afford the required volumes of regular food. So eg. half gallon of chocolate milk and a lb of sharp cheddar cheese for dinner. I always thought I'd get bored eating that much cheese but I never did :-). I treated myself to regular food for lunch. I also lost 15 lbs on that trip.

One of the best experiences of my life. I do remember being bored with chewing though.

To be clear, I'm not bragging here about an "accomplishment". It wasn't. RAAM, or PBP, those are accomplishments. The fellow who did the Tour de France route this year unsupported is a monster.
I believe that's how Weave worked. The newer Firefox Sync included (still includes?) sharing capabilities that call that into question.

If you take the memory unit, and attach it to another computer, does >interpreting< the code count as running the software on the new computer?

I suppose it would.

So perhaps a biocomputer of sorts could be offline and return undefined behavior by spec. Guess we'll keep looking for that perfect OS code.
Due to the existence of advanced persistent threats it simply won't be feasible for most small and medium enterprises to maintain their own IT infrastructure anymore. Instead they'll all be forced to outsource to a handful of cloud providers with sufficient scale to maintain a high level of security.
Americans are insane hypocrites now.

The very same Americans who scream that straws should be illegal, protests are great, the police should be abolished, the border must be opened, and schools are wonderful then turn around and say that masks must be mandatory, protests must be outlawed, guns must be banned, the border must be closed, and schools must be shut.

The very same Americans who swear that they love freedom then turn around and insist that websites must be outlawed, solar panels should be banned, free trade should be ended, and pot must be illegal.

To be clear, nothing is worthy of sexual humiliation.

In any event, using an internet troll meme against someone is not "sexual humiliation"

Sexual humiliation is something like, ripping someone's pants off in front of other people.

An accusation of a small peepee coupled with a lack of evidence thereof is thus baseless and thus easily dismissed.

If he actually pointed at said (presumably exposed) peepee in public and laughed at how small it was, THAT would be actual sexual humiliation.

If not, it's just macho locker room bravado.

You are quite perceptive. Yes, I find the ousting of Eich to be extremely distasteful. I haven't used a Mozilla product since. Can't speak on the SJW thing though, I have no "anti-SJW" feelings in general, esp. as it relates to Mozilla.
The argument for theft would have to assume that there is a "right" temperature to set. Personally I would be sweating in a t-shirt if I had the heating set to 22C, which would be the only way to prevent the cooling in the example.

As others have pointed out, it's a happy coincidence that the equilibrium is at a point that GP is happy with. If it were higher they would have to actively cool their apartment which can be seen as a cost, sort of comparable to dumping trash on someone's property forcing them to pay to deal with it.

It is vital. The first measurement you take on set up of the theodolite is the height of instrument (usually taken with a folding ruler or tape measure). You measure it from the base of the theodolite/total station to the top of the control point.
The guarantee on these schemes was on the fixed retirement income, which means as interest rates fell the present day value actually shot up.

I don't think these companies had a choice in the matter. Lots of people cashed out because they feared their pension scheme would collapse.

It should be noted that transfering out of these schemes is expensive because you're forced to take advice from an IFA
It’s unlikely patches will cause syntax changes.

Upgrading between versions might, but that requires you to manually run sysupgrade anyway, at which point you probably should be reading the release notes, which should mention it.

Do you have any examples where it happened without being mentioned in release notes, or without a version bump?
WTA is doing the right thing. Once the government had demonstrated that it can and will straight up wipe social media presence of a person who accused it of sexual assault, assuming any evidence supplied by such government to be false is a safe bet—faking it would be small beans by comparison, and the motive has clearly not gone away.
> The paper opens by saying "Large language models (with more than 1 billion parameters) perform well on a range of natural language processing (NLP) tasks in zero- and few-shot settings, without requiring task-specific supervision," and cite Radford et al. (2019), Brown et al. (2020), and Patwary et al., (2021) for this sentence. But the first paper doesn't claim zero-shot performance and the other two sources are about models orders of magnitude larger! I don't see any evidence in this paper to support the idea that there are people going around claiming that 1B+ parameter models have impressive zero-shot performance.

Maybe not zero-shot performance but they definitely claim few-shot performance which is what your quoted sentence is saying:

> Here we show that scaling up language models greatly improves task-agnostic, few-shot performance, sometimes even reaching competitiveness with prior state-of-the-art fine-tuning approaches. [1]

Maybe they have their thermostats set at 20 and are working more to keep those 20 whilst heating your apartment too. Even if they set their thermostats at 25 they would be working extra to compensate.

Is there a mandatory maximum temperature in your country?
I am down for higher education that includes technical schools and apprenticeships as well. Colleges are great! What I am not OK with is creating illiberal propaganda machines using public funds where no dissent is allowed and adolescents at a tender age get to them hypersensitized to identity and identity-politics. Fuck everything about that.
Why does a scholarly work need to be labeled as an ‘academic paper’ when evaluating someone’s work? Did work from the 17th century not qualify because it wasn’t published in a journal?

It's a policy choice.

Using Gemtext and Gemini makes you acutely aware of limitations, so eventually you either stop using it, or start enjoying it, with most of Gemtext readers sharing the experience.

Using a limited subset of HTML is an exercise in self-restraint, with the ability to go full ham on JS and CSS always being there, but you abstaining from sin. With most of browsers hardly sharing your desire for a JS lent.

There is nothing technically precluding browsers from supporting Gemini and Gemtext eventually. However, the idea is that contemporary browsers are not really interested in supporting it. Having a separate client instantly carves you out an entire world to live in and gives you 100% mindshare in that world. Shoehorning your document format into what browsers support right now gives you 0.001% of the browser world and its mindshare.
The human brain is estimated at 2.5 Pb of storage [0]. Assuming a "Moore's Law" like behavior of storage price, so that price halves every 2-3 years and assuming we use storage as a proxy for the space, access speed and computational power, the time it will take to have a $1000 computer that has the storage capacity of the brain will be in the 10-16 year time horizon.

This puts the timeline to about 2029-2035.

yeah i guess it's just feels like 10x when I ride on skateboard on bike path and cyclist zoom by.

You're righht on special skateboards, I have couple long distancne boards and they special brackets low to the ground with larger wheels. Makes huge difference over standard skateboards or longboards.

It's very niche market, making those boards relatively expensive https://www.gbomblongboards.com/ But for 10+ miles rides worth it.

Here's my list

* Ergo keyboard
* Learn keyboard shortcuts
* Learn to use a mouse with both hands
* Take hourly breaks
* Ask why things need to be done rather than jumping into them. There might be a better way.
* Rest your eyes (look at long distances periodically)
* Stay curious
* Connect to people on LinkedIn
* Consider consulting (you can often moonlight to try it out)

I'm curious how we're even going to manage 420,000 pixels' worth (60,000 ommatidia, approximately 7 pixels each) of input with only a few hundred transistors, let alone do vector analysis on it.

But let's say we can. Let's say we need 320 transistors, which would be 20 transistors per pixel. That's pretending 99.7% of the seven thousand synapses each neuron has are useless for our purpose, but we'll do it. A chimp brain runs all the autonomous physical processes of a humanoid body while only having 22 billion neurons. We'll also pretend, wrongly, that chimps have no mind or emotions at all and that we only need the extra human neurons to make a sapient mind.

Humans have 86 billion neurons. Subtracting 22 gives us 64 billion, times 20 transistors per neuron gives us 1.28 trillion transistors.

1.28 trillion transistors, even with a bunch of handwaving to make it easier, and even pretending we exactly understood how sapience worked in the first place.

I've run into the feature flag scaling problem before - where every front-end server needs access to the current state of the flags, which can be a pretty large amount of state to pass around if you support per-ID flags for hundreds of thousands or millions of users.

In the past I've solved this with a per-instance cache, but that's frustrating because it means that feature flag changes now take up to 5 minutes to roll out.

Next time I need to build this, I think I'm going to use SQLite for it.

A SQLite database on each front-end instance could model arbitrarily complex feature flag rules, and even with millions of potential turned-on-for-user-X records would still only be in the order tens of MBs on disk.

Checking flags would be a fopen() call and and indexed SQLite query, with no network overhead, so practically free.

The challenge would be synchronizing down the central state to these hundreds of separate SQLite databases. That doesn't feel insurmountable to me - just having a process that polls a central source every 10 seconds or so for changes to apply since their last update could probably work fine here.
It’s definitely horribly bad in anything related to loading.

I can’t find anything to replace it’s features though.
computer science, mathematics, science and many other technical fields borrow logic and formalized reasoning from philosophy and subsets of those fields have direct applications in the system of production, therefore i think that's why they're elevated in terms of perceived impact.

i've always sort of seen pure philosophy as an art for exercising rhetorical and general reasoning skills, which then seem to have the most natural applications in fields like law and politics.

i think where it can go sideways is cases where philosophers will attempt to apply reasoning to premises or fields that they don't fully understand.

that said, as we march into the post truth era, perhaps philosophy will have another moment to shine as a framework for training reasoning skills in an uncertain world.

An Office license is ~$250. Let's assume that it's for one year, but I expect it to las2 2-5 years until an upgrade is purchased.

I'm not sure about the salary of a public employee in Germany, but can I guess ~$50000 annual.

So if you give the $250 to each employee instead of Microsoft, it's a raise of 0.5%.

Edit: The Windows license is ~$200, but I don't expect it to be renewed annually.
