Remember, these are all public domain, at least in the USA which does not allow copyright assignments to the artistic output of machines.

Yet, anyway. For the jfk example, it's not implausible that you could use a nerf type system to generate the 3d scene, then use physics and ballistics models with a CLIP style text interchange to produce statistically verifiable results from natural language queries. These models are too big and unwieldy right now to allow for much finesse, but in 10 or 20 years, that will change. We're barely scratching the surface of Transformers potential, and radical new algorithms or optimizations are likely - a huge amount of human brain power is focused on these things.

Yes, yes, BIOS is supported by third-party vendor. Still leaves the microcode problem.

>That's a good point. The removal of 2g/3g made the modems in a lot of phones non-functional. Even without cell support a phone would still be useful as a small wifi tablet if it could run up-to-date software.

That's not what I'm talking about. Some phones required a modem update to work around a bug caused by broadcasting a different LTE signalling message they couldn't handle. It would crash the phone's baseband. Similarly some security group like Google Project Zero could figure out vulnerabilities in the modem (maybe unprivileged code execution using specially crafted status messages or something of the like). This is the sort of thing you will not get updates for, and the updates you've received til now won't detail much because SoC vendors have all that shit under NDA.
There's lots of cuts and morphs, so it's not continuous. Also lots of speed adjustments. Many of the shots were probably done very slowly and sped up after.

No reason that it needs to be FPV - if they have a 3D model of the factory they could have created a path for it to fly. I don't think Ardupilot or Betaflight is up to that(?), but a small team of engineers working for a couple of months would be able to make it work.

If you can prove that you don't owe the debt, then you're fine. But you can't just do a chargeback and assume that you no longer have to pay -- just because the credit card company took your side doesn't mean that you don't actually owe the money.

> Defining intelligence as "the thing brains do" is a mistake

This is a pretty bold claim. Brains are our only vantage points, and we also define life as "what's going on in a petri dish." But in any case, your point is self-defeating: what GPT-3 and DALL-E are doing is literally creating models about how we (humans) perceive the world.
Agreed. Still doesn't take away the other unique features away. I am yet to find any more place with such size houses which are walkable. Which was the charm for me.
I definitely had some uncanny valley vibes watching it, but I think it might be a combination of the camera's perspective (distorting distances away from center) and the footage being sped up/slowed down.
With adventure games, some people are just very persistent and can guess what the designer was thinking. While the apparent search space can seem huge, trial and error(use all verbs including the look-at; use all item combos), reordering actions, and pixel hunts eventually defeat everything except the puzzles where search space has been deliberately inflated(secret code puzzles, infinite mazes etc).

The Lucasarts games were not the hardest in the genre by any means. By the time they came along there was a huge legacy from both Infocom and Sierra and those also had parser issues(you wouldn't be able to trial-and-error verbs or nouns without sitting down with a dictionary) and softlocking events(don't eat that custard pie, King Graham, you might need it later).

It's interesting to compare with Japanese adventures, which gravitated towards a straightforward menu of choice actions by the late 80's but mostly stayed in first person instead of using an onscreen avatar, and from there, visual novels became a standard gameplay style. (It takes a lot less animation to show first person scenes, and many of the titles were targeting the higher-res display tech of PC-88/PC-98, which might have something to do with it) The Ace Attorney games are good examples of this style of game, and they have a particular strategy of focusing on one style of interaction at a time(separate scenes for investigation and trial).

The “spent a week fixing a problem” story is a red flag. Lack of communication was your problem. Don’t try and “surprise” people with “good deeds” like fixing problems. Just Do Your Job. Ask questions, keep open lines of communication with your boss and your team. Do what you are told and do it as well as possible. Your boss sets your priorities, he probably had something different in mind for you to work on that you delayed by taking this little side quest. Do Your Job.

If you feel the current job is unsalvagable, guess what it’s the best job market in history. Go get another job. Employers don’t really give a crap about what happened at your last role if you look like you’ll bring value to a new shop.
Yes. You omitted physical limits. It is very likely that Humanity will not achieve much of technology implied by science fiction.

The only exception looks to be AI, because although we haven't created an AI that matches human intelligence... the existence of human intelligence itself implies that building an AI to the level of human intelligence is possible.

It looks like the `*` that I copied got interpreted as markdown by HN's parser, and unfortunately it's too late for me to edit it. The code snippet I copied should show a cast to `char *. I suppose it's possible that OP's code could actually just be using it as a pointer to a single byte, but it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the value is a C string (i.e. pointer to a set of bytes with a null terminator) given that this is a Forth implementation (i.e. a stack based language) and the value that's being assigned looks like it's being popped off a stack.

Maybe the compiler is telling you all the time what is wrong, see this warning:

kernel.h:181:19: warning: operation on ‘sst’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]
181 | #define fpop(s) ((--s)->v.f)
| ~^~~~
words.c:2185:27: note: in expansion of macro ‘fpop’
2185 | if ( fpop(sst) <= fpop(sst) )
| ^~~~

For this piece of code:

/**(binary) ge
* "1 1 ge"
* TRUE if TOS-1 is greater than or equal to TOS.
*/
begin(ge)
if ( fpop(sst) <= fpop(sst) )
fpush(sst,TRUE);
else
fpush(sst,FALSE);
end()

That code does assume that the first fpop pops the top of the stack (TOS), and the second one pops the element below that (TOS-1), so "0 1 ge" should return false. But current gcc versions evaluate the calls in the opposite order, so it will return true: https://godbolt.org/z/v4TdvE83b

Most of the yards are small - a couple hundred sqft. So maybe we have different preferences for yards. I have fruit trees, a garden, bees, playset, etc. That takes up a lot of room. The garden alone is about the size of many of the yards I've been to in Philly.

What really baffles me is that any time a gaming company talks about incorporating NFTs, the community backlash is universal.

For me it is a running gag that many good CS researchers are not good programmers.

You get ahead in academic CS by writing papers and going to conferences, not by writing software. They get the software running well enough to write a paper about it, that is all they have to do.

Of course that limits them in so many ways. For one thing I’m certain that people write a paper about the performance of some algorithm that wasn’t correctly implemented and thus wasn’t the algorithm they thought they were using.

You can't process personal data "for legitimate interest" per se. This is the biggest lie the adtech industry keeps telling themselves. The LI exception is that you can process personal data to do X with fewer restrictions, if you have a legitimate interest in X. For example, all companies have a legitimate interest in certain employee data e.g. legal names / tax identification. More complex, if you run an insurance company, you have some legitimate interest in a broad swath of your customer's demographic data.

The case for legitimate interest in parsing logs is extremely weak. There are situations where you could claim it but it still must be with a clear purpose. E.g. a Spanish company considering opening a branch in France might collect IPs to make a heatmap of where its French customers are. But they would not be able to use those IPs generally, to the extent e.g. they might be expected to delete the IP and only store aggregated by department.

You also said PII, not PD - note that some PII is sensitive data, which cannot be collected under LI provisions at all.

(This is not legal advice. If you think you can collect personal data with the LI exception, godspeed and I hope you have a good lawyer.)

From http://www.foundalis.com/res/diss_research.html :

> There are six boxes on the left, and another six on the right. The ones on the left conform to a pattern, or rule, that describes them, and the task of the problem-solver is to find this pattern, or rule. As an aid, the six boxes on the right do not conform to the same pattern. Sometimes they conform to a different pattern (as is the case in the above example), while in some cases the rule that describes them is simply the negation of the rule on the left. (Thus, the six boxes on the left are the ones that, somehow, have the official status of defining the pattern.) There is nothing magic about the number six — it’s just that Bongard decided to provide six examples and six counter-examples for each of his 100 problems in the original publication (see link for references at bottom) and so BP’s are normally designed with 12 boxes thereafter.
That's actually kind of a brilliant design given the time period, once you look at other designs of the era that either have no idea what they actually want to accomplish, or try to do everything and so succeed at nothing at all, or both.

I guess like for several security topics: the process to find my identity is too expensive/impractical/takes too much time. I mean, we know it is possible to use brute force to crack encrypted data, it just takes a trillions of years or trillions of dollars so it becomes practically impossible.
In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

For a couple years around a decade ago I moderated a decent-sized but not massive subreddit and the frequency of child porn reports on there was chilling. It was every week at least. This was not at all a sexual sub, not even adjacent to porn or titillating images or anything.

Reddit was more permissive than they should have been for a lot longer than they should have been and may not be representative. But even accounting for that, it really opened my eyes to how common it can be.

This is also what turned me against free speech fundamentalism in the end. Every attempt at getting this addressed was shot down in the name of free speech and anti-censorship. Every time it was actually improved caused what felt like an internet-wide backlash against the changes.

This is almost certainly FPV as the cost of building an autonomous solution would be incredible. It's more likely parts are CG than that the camera vehicle flew autonomously, and I think neither are likely, this looks like "top 5% FPV pilot" work to me.

Inside-out indoor 3D positioning is an _exceptionally hard_ problem. Like, really hard. It parallels inside-out road positioning enough that there is crossover (and IIRC there is a lot of employee motion between Tesla and DJI and other drone autonomy makers), but I don't think this would be an easy "few months" project and certainly not cost effective.

That's PayPal's fault then. If they don't make things right, you're justified to hold them to account.
> Another factor could be the fact ENS names expire and require a renewal fee

I have no proof, but I doubt any of them were paying for it. I tried to figure out how some of them got their names by looking at the blockchain. There were some patterns where I thought it looked like someone bought up a bunch of popular names and transferred them to the influencers. I'm not very well versed in blockchain though, so I couldn't follow it well enough to do anything more than speculate.

I think it was nothing more than promotion. It would be interesting to know if anyone got paid because they should be disclosing it as paid promotion if they did. Having the domain given to you is a type of payment (if that happened).

> I think it was something like $250 per year (in ETH at the time) to keep it active

If you weren't looking at a 3 or 4 letter domain you were probably seeing super high transaction fees which made the initial transaction very expensive. The registration is supposed to cost about $5 per year. I bought one a few months ago and that's how it worked.

I paid $11 in transaction fees for the first transaction where you submit your order + secret. Then I paid $72 in transaction fees for the registration plus $55 for 10 years of registration. I also got about $5 transferred back to me by the ETH ENS registrar. So the cost of the domain registration was $5 / year, but the transaction fees were around $85.

I watched gas prices for a week and tried to time my order with low fees. The cost of the second transaction went up by $20 while I waited for the 1 minute delay required between transactions. It's crazy.

You also need to pay transaction fees every time you want to update the record. Now imagine a proof of stake system where the rich (ie: early adopters) get a cut of transaction fees just for holding a bunch of tokens. I think that's why enthusiasts are so excited. Imagine getting paid every time someone needs to update a record in a database.

I don't think blockchain domains have any benefits. In fact I think they're significantly worse than our current system. However, I did buy one to match my favorite / best .com domain because even if they're a terrible idea they could still get popular and I thought it was worth $135 USD to ensure I didn't have to worry about someone squatting on my name.

> So an attacker could potentially invalidate hundreds (or thousands) of votes by stuffing a single fake ballot into the box? This seems like the illusion of security.

In Canada poll workers initial the ballots, and the ballots have serials numbers on them and a stub (which also has the S/N) that is torn off by poll worker:

> The election worker checks their initials and the assigned polling station number on the back of the ballot; compares the counterfoil number against the stub number in the booklet and makes sure they are the same; takes off the counterfoil and tears it up; and gives the ballot back to you to put in the ballot box. You slide your ballot into the ballot box where it is mixed in with other ballots. No one will know how you voted.

So there's a record of which ballots were put in via proper workflow.

If there's a discrepancy the non-proper ballots can be identified and removed.

This is a rational argument, and I see it a lot, but it does not probe deep enough. GPT-3 use cases "fall apart at the lightest real world case" because our expectations are wrong. For the vast majority of computing history, computers have been used to do things deterministically and accurately. Next-gen AI does not operate in this way. It encroaches on the human part of work where we expect and allow for people to get it wrong.

GPT-3 does shockingly well at classification tasks with basically 0 training/prompting (outside of the base model). And it works for an incredibly broad set of use cases.

But using QA and generation are much harder to judge because we can't say (in general) whether generated text is "correct"
