> as well as a typical human could

I think this just isn't a good enough definition to be able to usefully reason about the concept. A typical human might say "I don't know" or "I don't care" when asked a question, or say "I refuse" when given an instruction. Also, the typical human is a stranger, who knows nothing about you, and may have a completely different cultural background to you, so there might just not be enough shared understanding to be able to expect a meaningful exchange.

Even if we adjust the definition to account for all of that, it seems like all relevant inputs would fall into one of three categories: simplistic questions/prompts that GPT-3 has already seen a hundred times before; complicated word/logic puzzles that many people would also fail at; or extremely technical requests like writing a novel which is a specialist skill that is best considered as a narrow domain to be solved by a dedicated AI.

With that categorisation in mind, I think we can look more closely at what AIs are missing to reach the "verbal parity" level that the article cares about. Skipping the first category as too trivial, the second category hints that what an AI needs is a world model, and an ability to map statements from the text input into that model.

For example, consider the logic puzzle of a father and his son in a car accident, and the surgeon saying "I can't operate on this boy because he's my son". A human might give up or give an invalid answer when asked to explain the supposed paradox, but if we require an AI to solve it for "verbal parity" then it will have to be able to build a world model in which there are accidents and injuries and surgeons and fathers and sons and abilities and limitations and emotions. My contention is that the ability to do that world modelling is what an AI needs in order to solve such puzzles in the general case, so if that's what we're saying verbal parity requires, then hidden within that world modelling requirement is basically AGI.

For that not to lead immediately to AGI, there would have to be some line between world models that are only rich enough to answer simple puzzles, and world models that reach some critical level of complexity, perhaps enough for self-awareness or self-improvement, although maybe improving a world model is a very different skill, which might be where self-awareness risks gaining a sense of agency and goals.

As for the third category, I think it is possible that an AI could learn to write books just from seeing how they are constructed from other examples, along with some careful programming devoted to maintaining causality and emotional impact throughout the narrative. Similarly there could be a set of rules for writing research papers or legal briefs from a given set of inputs, which might be no harder technically than playing StarCraft. Alternatively, once an AI has a sufficiently developed world model, the ability to imagine the story of a novel, or a scientist communicating their research, or a lawyer arguing their case, should fall out of the model naturally, and might just need the right prompt to generate it.
What initially motivated you to use Firestore?
I think it's okay. You don't want firebase pricing where they charge per operation.

They have a free plan which will work out okay for 99% of the hobby use cases. If you are beyond that, $25 isn't big ask for what they offer.

Erm, not excusing this horrible invasion in any way, but c'mon, this is a near parody of a propaganda rewriting of recent history, but from the other side...

They sought all ways of agreements continuously for 15 years, and which requests litterally the US, the EU and NATO litterally declined to answer in any way ever since Bush II and Candy Rice failed to renew some of START up until 4 weeks before the invasion ?

And then when it did it last January was to dismiss all requests for three weeks in a sterile exchange, at which points Russians through Putin said : "Ok, no agreements, we go kinetic", as the ruthless fiend he is.
Do you happen to know for sure that Home Depot was the actor that allowed the leak to occur, or a third party vendor (like their payments processor)?

I'm not insinuating that they aren't responsible either way. On the contrary - their internal stuff seems really good, so if it's a vendor issue, maybe the world needs a "Home Depot Payments".
WFH translates to “work from anywhere”, so social opportunities are actually greater when WFH rather than in the office.

Anyone who started WFH within the last couple of years likely haven’t realized that yet, granted.

This results in a transient population and concentration of wealth, and reduced overall housing security. A mortgage doesn't go up by 10% every year, but my rent sure does.

Find that hard to believe purely on common experience + if not, likely not "disabled" in the sense of being affected to a degree of not being able to use a standard website. in the same vein, counterargument here is a lot of disabled people _can_ indeed use a standard website.

I've had stuff like this crawled in the past because it was linked from internal (but not private) documentation, which in turn was indexed because of a link that found its way into a public page.
All the things you listed were already done over email, slack, etc. even before the pandemic. The moment I have to involve a second team, I have to do it over email, doing it in person is too disruptive to work.
I love the way you've formulated that concept. Thanks.
20 years ago I went on a ridealong with a bunch of men who were changing the times on the clocks installed in a bunch of church towers.

It was fascinating to get to watch the process. I'd always taken it for granted the big hotels, railway stations, and churches would often have big clocks you could see from a distance and that they'd be self-correcting. But of course a lot of old clocks are purely mechanical so when the time changed an hour forwards/backwards somebody would need to physically change them.
You can call EMS in such a situation if you can afford to wait. Fire and rescue usually will not bill you, and may find the proprietor at fault.
Not trying to be dismissive but honest question: why would machine learning be good in this problem domain? Normally i think of machine learning as a good way to find patterns in high dimensional data, but clock skew doesn't seem like something that is high dimensional.

Even the concept of celebrity is wearing thin... People you've never heard of before now have larger followings (yet not quite more money) than many of the movie stars of the past... This is why some major stars are literally having public melt downs and hawking dances on TikTok and shilling NFTs...

Twitter hocking NFTs to everyone for their profile pics is like a Costa Concordia-level move, which pretty much serves as a huge sign that the ship is sinking...

It's a car accident in process to be honest, and only the people who read alt-news sources get the right dose of pessimism. On the flip side, I'm still confused but pleased that my email inbox is still only flooded with bank transfer scheme emails rather than crypto/NFT news and scams... Ahh... The quiet life... :P

- then the same thing could have been blamed about Stalin already.

I have had to use excel Ona windows system a fair bit in recent past and the end key sees a lot of use inside excel. It took me a fair bit of time to get used to my laptop’s fn+arrow key combo to get end to work on excel for me. On the mac ctrl+a and ctrl+e so the job of home and better for me as that also works on the terminal.

My daily driver keyboard is the older Apple wireless keyboard. There one that uses the AA battery. Mainly because this has the exact same layout as my MacBook Pro. This keyboard plus the trackpad works great for me. I don’t understand why Apple did not revert to the inverted arrow keys on the external keyboard. Now there is no way to get the same exact layout on a MacBook Pro and with an external keyboard from Apple.
A drug called Alprazolam or better known as Xanax drives the patient who takes it to sleep excessively during daytime. I've got two acquaintances, who take those pills and they sleep quite often during the day.
RF kills people for any or no reason. Why you worry about that? If you think that when you don't attack RF, then they don't attack you, you are wrong. You are member of rotten West, your country is a member of evil NATO, you are speaking non-russian language, and you are spreading anti-russian propaganda. You are danger to Russian Civilization. They will kill you, but their ressources are limited, so stay in line.
Depends on the interpretation. An advocate of textualism like the late Anthony Scalia, would argue the letter (vs the spirit) of the law should still be implemented - arguing that it is the duty of the judge to implement, and the duty of the elected congressmen/Senators to legislate the laws.
Gravity takes care of the pressures. If you put a long pipe vertically in the water, with its bottom open and its top sticking up a couple meters on top, and then put some water into the top of it, what happens to the water column inside?

You do not need to get the water at the surface to 10, or 100, or 1000 atm. You just need a long pipe that goes all the way to the bottom.

Likewise for transporting water upward.

It is probably/definitely me but I watched the long video and did not learn anything and then read the GitHub example for a few minutes and got it. I have a hard time understanding why ‘young people’ (or maybe all people outside myself as it sometimes feels) enjoy videos; text is so much faster for everything but learning how to render a wall (stuff with your hands). Then again, I never went to lectures in uni vs reading books, papers and syllabi; the latter I found to be much faster.

Anyway, congrats with the project; it seems pretty common sense idea wise so it is nice but cannot see many people jumping through the hoops and adopt it; people are too opinionated (including me).
Quite the opposite
And what is your point? The practical effect of these ADA trolls is the complete shuttering of useful things that could not be made accessible in a reasonable fashion. E.g. universities have removed websites because they don't have the funding available to make the resources accessible. It's not trivial amounts of money, the case I was remembering was a court ordering the subtitling of years of video courses, ... or their removal.

I really feel for people with disabilities, but there's a heavy profit motive to abuse the ADA, and that's what causes people to hate it. There's other issues as well like rising costs of construction and doing anything productive due to red tape that are no doubt related, but what people see are the ADA trolls.

Are you referring to the period between the Budapest Memorandum[0] in 1994 and the Russo-Georgian War[1] in 2008? I'm not sure what proposed agreements you think the US, EU and NATO should have acquiesced to in that time, or what requests they declined to answer.

In Alberta, which has the cities of Edmonton and Calgary which are >1M in population, it's not that unusual for moose and bears to make their way into the cities' neighborhoods.

It's usually just the outer suburbs, but both cities have undeveloped river valley greenspace that the animals use to find unobstructed paths almost to the city center.

Hi milani, not sure I understood your question completely.
For maintaining published documentation we offer: 1) User analytics & feedback 2) if you integrate with Github we allow auto-updates 3) Automatically send notifications about the update

Does this answer you question?

It seems to me like this scheme is only a half-measure for protecting something, because if an attacker compromises your app and steals a token they can still use it like your app does, right?

Say you have wrapped a credit card number in a token. When a user buys something, you call the API to charge the CC token instead of a CC number. But if an attacker steals a token, they can make that same API call and charge a card to pay themselves.

I guess the mitigations tokens give you over bare CC numbers in that scenario are:

* The attacker probably needs your API key or similar to use along with the token, instead of having a bare CC they can easily use anywhere

* Better auditing of token use

* Tokens are revocable in case you discover a breach

Still, due to that risk I don't see how this "eliminates" compliance risk.
Or one could easily say on the inverse, Crypto is like Chuck-E-Cheese tickets... All promise big possibilities, and it looks flashy at the top, but then you realize you've invested $1000 to make $100...

Social media is the last thing left in pushing this lottery brigade... Social platforms have already demonstrated that most frankly can't succeed in their large oceans of popularity and in competing with wealthy influencers, the same holds true for crypto. It is far too easily influenced by tweets, wealthy influence, and popularity to make everyone socially climb the ladder, and far too volatile for people who can't afford to risk money to play with...

Just like regular money.
I don't fully understand what you meant. Either I misunderstood it or there is a problem with your explanation.

You can measure distance between complex numbers. But the distances between three numbers has a non-transitive relationship which is what prevents ordering.

Was that what you meant, or is there some more fundamental relation between not having an order and the idea of distances?
If you mean jobs created with a specific candidate in mind, yes. It’s how I got hired… at UCLA.
Separation of concerns is not a legal concept.

Zillow does not have any fundamental control over the market. They do not have any obligation to show true prices. They are a private entity who happens to offer price estimates a service. Nobody is ever forced to buy or sell at that price.
Don’t you find though that people will eventually bring emotion / drama to a discussion on email, which immediately gets blown out of all proportion because email?

Those kinds of situations are much easier to keep on track in a call / video conference, and easiest in person, when you can have ad hoc conversations after the meeting has ended. (Video conference products I have used — all the standard ones — don’t really have a way of ending a meeting other than hard-stop-return-to-isolation for all participants, whereas in real life it’s much smoother and more continuous than that.)
In my country there were some locations where they have added bevers population on purpose. This was in the rural areas. And there was a lot of floods and damages on crops, orchards, etc.
Blue-sky thinking: new rules allow digital nomads to work in the sun
Social mores actually move relatively slowly. In 1950 it was OK to be bigoted say towards gay men. In 2022 it is not. In 2022 people may be bitten for something they said in 2012 but it wasn't because such bigotry suddenly became unacceptable in 2013.

The vanguard of decency and tolerance had begun advancing in the 60s and was well under way in the 70s. Forty years later they had failed to apprehend the indefensible nature of their position which for most of the roadkill on the road to reason had been underway for their entire lives.

> The only way to not worry is to never have a high profile, or be extremely careful what you say in writing.

One could also try not being 40 years behind moving social mores in a way that currently makes your children embarrassed to be seen with you and will in 10 years be seen as indefensibly bigoted or hateful because if its going to get you fired in 10 years its probably already pretty bad you just didn't notice.
Hm, average apartment size in this city: 790 sq ft, average USA: 880 sq ft. Average household size my country: 1.99 ppl, average USA: 2.5 ppl. I guess we just have better working conditions in the office than average or in the USA.
I saved the article for later reading, but I can't fail to notice the formulation of the title. Merriam-Webster defines "rogue" as:

<<... of or being a nation whose leaders defy international law or norms of international behavior >>

Who then get's to call another one a "rogue" ? According to what authority, what right to pass such judgment ? Does a criminal who escaped justice because he corrupted the judge get to call out another one the very same because the other one refuses to be judged ?

I find it symptomatic that the Ur-think-tank for the US defense complex arrogates itself that right. I see this as a unipolar denial of sovereignty, denial of agency, of basic interstate respect. No wonder the situation devolved.

The same often say Putin and Russians only understands force. What then does such an title show that the US thinkers understand ?
Assuming that it's more likely that marginal demand will be met by coal than by renewables makes no sense to me.

Coal is rapidly been retired as a source of electricity generation - 85% of generation capacity being retired in 2022 will be coal[1] - and there hasn't been a new large coal plant built in the US for over a decade[2]. In Europe the amount of electricity being generated by coal is half of what it was at its peak.

Meanwhile, renewables now make up about a 87% share of new electricity generation capacity in the the US[3]. Europe is similar.

Pricing the CO2 emissions cost of an EV using the dirtiest and fastest declining electricity source (coal) does not seem fair or honest to me.

In some places managers regularly post job openings for jobs they have candidates for. They even go as far as interviewing a few people and not let them know that they have no chance. They have rules that say that all jobs have to be posted.

Interesting how a rule that was meant to curve corrupted hiring practices get so easily circumvented.
Even the clock in my car (2016) doesn't self correct. It goes ahead of about 1 minute every month.
Okay, but to be fair I immediately recognised the "ready" signal 0xAA or 0x55 as "oh, it just toggles the bit every clock. That sounds oddly useful. You can probably sync a clock or something on that." I've also run into situations where I'm counting bits and the flip-flop doesn't actually get set until the /next/ clock pulse, so having the phase change bit arrive one cycle early seems like a kludge around that sort of thing.

Ya gotta remember that Sony is hardware people so they do inscrutable things in software that probably turn out to make silicon implementation easier.
I've not used it for a few months, but I installed from homebrew as well.

Run `arch` in a terminal. Does it return `arm64`?

Interestingly, I just opened Alacritty on my M1, and it's showing `arm64` now. I know it didn't before. The app has been upgraded because macOS's security tools blocked it when I tried to open it and I had to explicitly allow it.

Maybe it was an issue that they've fixed since I last looked?
The timing for such a bad argument is bad and it is still shitty.

Crypto bros telling us how great it is for the poor people in such countries to get money. Now we see the downside of this as well. Oligarchs protecting their assets as well.

Leveled playfield.

No added benefit from crypto anymore.

And yes right now for me, sanctioning is more critical to me to increase the pressure on Russia to stop killing people than Russian people being able to use crypto.
