The author explains the monogamy choice by jealousy and insecurity. But a different explanation is being territorial [1]:

«Jealousy is a negative trait, territoriality is a positive trait. Jealousy stems from fear and insecurity. The focus of jealousy is actually yourself. Territoriality is an instinctive act to provide and protect the one(s) you love. Jealousy focuses on you, territoriality focuses on your partner. You are being territorial because you care for their well being. Jealousy breeds resentment, anxiety and distrust, territoriality breeds a sense of safety, security and trust.»

Data loss, particularly under high write volume. Partitioning can help. There are a few ways to enable persistence, but you should still treat it like a cache, like you would Memcache or Elasticsearch.
> I'm highly confident that LaMDA can, or with small fine tuning should be able to apply Rule 110 [0]. People claim that LMs are just pattern matchers or hash tables. Rule 110 is literally 8 elements long hash table.

I would like to see that proved. I don't see why we should believe that LaMDA's training on a corpus of human text would help it guess that the correct output for a sequence like "apply the following rule to the input string 1101: [explanation of rule 110 here]" should be "0111". Even more so, I highly doubt it would be able to keep track of this enough to encode and execute even a relatively simplistic computation (say, computing the addition of 1 + 1).

I even more highly doubt that this would actually work with the entire system as Lemoine was given access to, including the facility of generating several possible outputs and comparing them for quality metrics to only output the best.

Still, even if this did work, see my next point for why it isn't what I was thinking of when you said you believed it is Turing complete.

> I'm not sure why you think that question whether LaMDA is using language to achieve its goals is relevant? Whether it's using language, tokens or floats seems to me just accidental.

All of the arguments I've heard for why we should believe LaMDA is sentient (while a CPU isn't) are related to the text it generates, "the way it answers questions about itself and its desires".

That LaMDA could be (ab)used to to generate some other kind of tokens that we could then interpret as a pre-programmed computation isn't that interesting - my CPU can do that to, and no one is claiming that it's sentient and that I should ask for its permission before asking it to run a program (in a more personal way than sudo :) ).

> I think it's exceedingly hard to formulate necessary condition for sentience.

I think it's exceptionally hard to formulate sufficient conditions for sentience, but I think communicative intent, theory of mind, and high-level planning are some pretty clear necessary conditions.

While it's possible in principle to combine various AI approaches to achieve this, I don't believe it has been done, and I doubt you could simply connect LaMDA to AlphaGo or some poker AI to get an AI that can explain its intentions in Go in words, or talk to other players to try to convince them it's not bluffing.
The rise of computer-generated, artificially intelligent influencers
Hi HN!

Recently while working on my newsletter [0] I came across Zipline using microphones on their fixed-wings for aircraft detection, creating a very informative blog post in the process. I'll be curious to seeing if they manage to get this solution certified, given that they cannot detect balloons and gliders.

If you like the linked blog post then you might also like the ICRA 2022 presentation [1] by Gavin Ananda on the subject that goes into even more detail.

It looks like they have the choice of saving the dollar or saving the economy, and it seems like in their attempt for both fixing inflation while having a "soft landing," they may get neither.
No worries, now we have works best in Chrome, or Safari won't implement it, instead.

Excellent point. I remember when he criticised Powell for raising rates back in 2018. It seemed to me to be the perfect time to normalize rates.

As negative as the modern state of gaming development is now, makes me wonder if learning from past renaissance times (e.g. the '90s, particularly 1998) will bring any wisdom.

For instance, it's a truism that AAA studios that are dominating the market, like big Hollywood studios, must trend towards increasingly reliably safe blockbuster titles to make back their immense budgets. And yet there are still plenty of indie studios today. Indie gaming is stronger than ever. And yet why the consolidation into fewer and less innovative/interesting forms?

Maybe it's because the death of AA studios means that there are fewer sub-blockbuster entities to create influence? Because there are way more games today so interest is diffused and gravitate naturally towards AAA attention sinks? Because on a technical level, gaming is so advanced that there is a push towards photorealistic simulation rather than the innovative abstraction that earlier period of gaming had? One's creativity is capped by the amount of effort and resources needs to go towards making sights and sounds of greater quality than Hollywood movies. Either way, maybe the medium and the industry is just at a stage where conventions calcify and it's harder to turn the ship.
> Since then it seems that mathematicians have lost interest in foundations

This is very much not the case. What's closer to truth is that the discussion moved on from a framework laymen can seemingly understand conclusions, to one where conclusions (or their implications on mathematics proper) are a lot harder to explain to laymen. Foundational work is still a thing, but I don't think it affects the nature of mathematics in a way laymen can conceptualize.

Take Godel's incompleteness. People say it's something laymen can understand, and people attempt explaining it to masses every day in youtube, reddit etc. But if you truly get into the formal conclusion (i.e. with Rosser's trick, the conclusion is: "a theory cannot be an extension of Q, complete and consistent all 3 at the same time") you'll see that it's already pretty far away from what laymen thought they understood. And modern foundational work exponentially drifted away from this too.

I'm not a mathematician so everything in this comment should be taken with a grain of salt.
Republicans love the free market unless it doesn’t suit them. And Republicans secretly want big government, again big and small where it suits their and their donors’ interests.

And what does “equitable” mean here? Are gas stations wanting or planning on giving gas away for free? How can they even remotely control what a business gives away as incentives? Can they ban free mints at restaurants too?

Edit: To everyone mentioning Democrats, note that I did not.
Part of the issue is that they may spend $8b on vegetation mitigation, but only a fraction of that is actually spend on finding where to mitigate I suspect.
That's actually quite a good remark. The most compelling theory I have read on the fall of the western part of the empire was that a mode of production based a land based elite that relied on slavery came to have a lot of limitations. The war machine kept it going as new land could be given to fighting soldiers (that would become less of a threat when settled) and fueled the economy with ever more slave.

When Rome invaded the hellenistic region, there was already an established economy that relied a lot less on big domains worked by slaves and that region managed to keep it that way. Thus when the slave mode of production came to a dead end, it was the part of the empire that relied massively on it that collapsed.

Another interesting point was that the adoption of Christianity made the elite even bigger with the whole Church apparatus now living the life and putting even more pressure on the system.

I wish I would find the sources again.
> The narrative is that there's simultaneously too many engineers coming out of school and yet it's extraordinarily difficult to hire engineers. Which is it?

It's both. You need to be a large company to hire junior talent. The local market is mostly startups without well-developed production guardrails and well-gardened, too long backlogs. The large companies cherry-pick for the relatively few junior positions that open and they aren't using Ruby internally. Thus the Ruby ecosystem hasn't developed here.

> but there seems to actually be a lot of interest on HN in working with boring-tech at either nontech companies or BigCo.

HN trends senior talent which has been around the bloc enough times to know that stacks change and people don't. Most of the labor market comes into interviews and want to impress you with how many languages they know.

If you care abut hiring and recruiting then you would kill your Ruby On Rails projects.

In fact, as far as recruiting goes, you really need to switch all your projects to either TypeScript, C# or Python. Everything else, Java, PHP etc etc is on the decline.

POSSIBlY on the way up is Golang, but again don't use this is hiring is a primary concern.

BUT Ruby On Rails has to be one of the worst to recruit for unless you're using Fortran or COBOL.
Gas stations are also just too small. Most in my area can accommodate 4-8 cars at a time.

EV charging is much more suitable for places like Supermarkets, Malls, Restaurants - places where people spend much longer amounts of time and with larger areas to park.
I love that adorable little SIIG Minisys. I've got a couple of Siemens-Nixdorf "Beetle" PCs which were used for point-of-sale terminals in the 90s, a bit wider than the Minisys but not as long. Can't remember at the moment if mine have 486 or Pentium (I) processors, but I did get Windows 3.11 going on one of them a few years back.
>There aren't many people left to compete over. Corps are currently offering 5-6 figure sign-ons and bonuses in our area.

They simply are not offering enough money. If 5 to 6 figure bonuses do not work, then they should be increasing pay to high 6 figures or 7 figures. I would be surprised if 7 figures does not solve their supply issue.
I am afraid some actual people work that way - as the poster suggested. This has significance, because some voices declare that the bare minimum found in humans is a sufficient threshold to AGI. Which, together with the base objection "you cannot call intelligence what is not intelligence", would also call for a "why implementing it then".

But most people charging at a gas station will be mostly apartment dwellers that don't have EV charging in their nightly parking spots yet. Home owners or renters can charge at home most of the time. The gas station charging eliminates range anxiety for them and helps EVs with smaller batteries and shorter ranges like the Leaf. Even for the apartment dwellers, there will be more and more EV chargers at parking spots near grocery stores, malls, movie theaters, amusement parks, offices etc.
Befriending one of the more intelligent birds (jays, or crows) is also very entertaining, though they are still wild of course.

RiotX? I don't remember that. There was a TelegramX, maybe this is what you mean? However there was a couple years that I didn't use it much so perhaps I missed it.

But it did go from Vector -> Riot -> Element and various UI and branding changes along the way yes :) Part of this is also that the app was not really "finished" back in the Vector days. It only really came into its own during the Riot age. For example E2E encryption didn't yet exist at the start, and the underlying support in Matrix was missing as well. It's still a protocol and toolset that's evolving rapidly.

However the benefit of Matrix is that you can choose any client you want, there are several for mobiles.
That article ends with a note about the source of lead being indeterminate, with a chance the lead leached into human remains after burial.

The issue also isn't just "did they have high lead levels?". The Roman empire around, with its lead pipes, for a long time. Why after hundreds of years would the lead of resulted in the downfall of Rome when Rome had flourished under the same lead-filled conditions previously?
I think that in most scenarios it's fair to assume that public servants (especially those wielding force) should be held to higher standards.
If I'm understanding this correctly, it's still a problem: if the product's price element or the order's line item list is null, for example, that shouldn't just be silently ignored. The transaction should fail, loudly and visibly (like with an exception) so that the root cause of the invalid data can be examined. The way most programmers code it is to just ignore the bad data and potentially ship an item for free, or without charging tax, or charge the customer but not ship the item, etc. etc. This is why so many software development organizations have huge QA departments.
The guy pointed out that there was a lack of QA in their beta release process. Should have gotten a promotion.
Maybe. Some studies show up to 80% of EV charging in the US is done at home. So demand is way lower.

No language book can genuinely teach you the ecosystem for that language. The ecosystem is many times larger than could ever possibly fit into one book, but the ecosystem is what provides you with the libraries you actually reach for to build things day-to-day.

Expecting engineers to self-teach from a book is practically begging for NIH syndrome and a rewrite in two years.

Fractional reserve banking. When you take out a loan from a bank, the bank gets to create money out of thin air and then charge you interest. This is why banking is so profitable, they get to print money.
The problem is a mountain of older ipads and iphones and ipods that aren't eligible for the latest major ios upgrades, and thus get stuck with an outdated safari/wkwebview/webkit implementation. This is only going to get worse as the EOL'd ipads these days are quite powerful and usable otherwise. And due to Apple policies banning bring-your-own-html-engine, firefox or chrome can't save them either :(
I've been using it for a few years now. The UI is outdated and a bit clunky but it's worked great for me on my old Mac Mini and the old Apple Mail app is pretty much unusable now. My next best option is Roundcube Webmail, and it's pretty good too.

Agreed with what you said, but even for Blender, performance is important but the feature are Free software, good modeler, correct, feature-packed, good looking renderer AND performance.
That’s the case with a typical hedge fund but is it the case for pension funds like this one? I thought pension fund managers were not particularly incentivised to take risks for larger returns, but I don’t really have evidence for this assertion.
The color of the yolk depends on what the chickens eat; it doesn't really indicate anything about the nutritional content of the eggs. Supermarket "organic" eggs that have a dark yellow yolk might just mean that their chickens' diet included pigments that caused that. A true free-range chicken that had a more wild diet including insects and seeds other than wheat or corn will also tend to have eggs with a darker yolk.
I love the FSD beta, and the car has already prevented my wife from getting hit head on by a car running a red light at 80-90MPH. Your comment is exactly how I feel about Microsoft, it's grossly irresponsible to run that crap, and it's not even labeled as beta.
PBM apparently == “pharmacy benefit management”
Maybe it was the chickens who bought it.
Dedicated, paid EV stations can also differentiate themselves by providing fast DC charging. This requires more expensive equipment and quite possibly an upgrade to the property's connection to the grid - something that probably isn't worth it to businesses just providing a few free level 1/2 chargers as a courtesy to customers.
Hashids sounds like hashing but it‘s just encoding and decoding the values. I shared that approach in the article. They have the drawback that you always need to decode manually the url when you e.g. want to lookup a record from an URL.

GA is more general than (and superior to) quaternions (the even subalgebra of G3). However, it requires a powerful type system and compiler to compile general GA expressions to something as efficient as quaternions. C++ won't cut it. You might be able to get clever by defining a special numerically indexed type for Gn or its even subalgebras; C++ could probably do that. But it wouldn't be as nice as fully generic GA.
So cute haha
jruby was definitely the play in 2008-2012, reason being that puma wasn't out yet and everything else was doggedly slow, so you used to use tomcat or glassfish.

Since jruby is being interpreted into java (thus, bytecode), the resulting performance (throughput and latency) was a lot better and the lack of jemalloc (a good allocator by most means!) meant that your memory growth was a little more sawtooth and a little less... growy.

I think these days most folks are just running something like puma.

I was curious and looked up iWoz, and it seems to be a little mixed-up on the dates of things since it talks about using iCab two years before it was available: https://datassette.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/livros/iw... (Book page 296)

"That first day I used iCab instead of IE, I had no crashes. Not a single one. Hmm."
"I could never convince Apple. This was such a big lament for me at the time. I couldn’t convince anyone that it wasn’t the Mac OS that was at fault. Then one day Gil Amelio told me that Apple—in addition to avoiding excess production and inventory and keeping expenses down—was going to buy a new operating system."

The NeXT merger was publicly announced in February 1997, so that private conversation with Amelio about their intent most likely would have been some time in 1996: https://www.tech-insider.org/mac/research/1997/0207.html

iCab, on the other hand, didn't ship until February 1999 as a time-bombed beta: https://web.archive.org/web/20020305110041/http://advergence...

I wonder if he was experiencing instability due to Code Fragment Manager instead of IE itself? Mac IE was even late shipping for 68K Macs due to problems with CFM-68K.

"Finally, Internet Explorer has been hit by the CFM-68K bug. Microsoft was on the cutting edge in adopting the Code Fragment Manager for 68K Macs, and due to the well-known bug in CFM support on 68K Macs, Internet Explorer is currently only available for PowerPC-based Macs. Apple should have this bug fixed soon, though, and Microsoft plans on releasing a 68K version at that time." — https://www.macobserver.com/reviews/ie3.shtml

CFM-68K was infamously unstable until version 4.0 shipped in April 1997, and even the PowerPC-native version saw a bunch of improvements around that time, so this lines up with a 1996/1997 timeframe in iWoz if one ignores the anachronistic iCab story:

"A revised Code Fragment Manager that helps some large, PowerPC-native applications launch faster and enables some applications to launch in low memory situations" — https://www.cnet.com/tech/tech-industry/apple-releases-syste... (September 1996)

"In late November 1996, Apple announced a bug in the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler extension. This bug could cause random crashes and hangs, resulting in application instability and potential loss of data. Because of the potential seriousness of these problems, Apple recommended that customers disable the extension. Also, Mac OS 7.6 would prevent the extension from loading. Mac OS 7.6 does support the the 4.0 version of the extension." — https://macgui.com/kb/article/502 (May 1997)
