> And my point is that I don't get what problem a golang-like language that can be called from c solves exactly. Why not just write the code in c?

It says in the readme. It provides scripting capabilities using a strongly-typed go-inspired language in compiled languages. You don't write the scripting code in C because C isn't a scripting language.

> ... what's wrong with a system() call to bash?

Okay. Because you need to fork, because you need to have permissions to fork the process you want to fork, because fork is time consuming and requires resources you might not have a lot of, because maybe there is no bash. Or on one machine there is bash, on another there isn't. Because depending on what you are going to call, you may need a whole shebang of dependencies, which may or may not exist. Because maybe you compile to tinygo and you can't use Yaegi, but then maybe wasm is a better choice. There are tons of reasons why not.

> Like I said, neat research project, but if I came into a company to work on a project and this was tossed in my lap, I'd probably walk away.

It doesn't seem to solve a problem you are facing but it doesn't mean it's useless. You said multiple times that you don't understand what problem does it solve. It provides an embedded, type-safe, cross-platform, go-inspired syntax, performant scripting language. You know, Yaegi was some time ago also someone's "neat research project", albeit for a totally different use case.

There are reasons to do some kind of NAT across IPv6. For example, switching ISPs may throw your internal network addressing in disarray which can be either a pain or a massive problem; NPTv6 will prevent that from being too much of an issue inside the premises, which should cover 95% of the issues. The best thing is that you keep most of the advantages of IPv6 (all addresses and all ports publicly reachable, foregoing the need for dangerous stuff like ALG) despite the address translation.

Alternatively you could register an IPv6 address of your own but you'd need to find an ISP that will let you use that, which can be harder than you'd hope, or you could tunnel your entire connection through the cloud in a semi-NAT system.

This isn't a problem for 99.9% of people and I'd wager it's not a problem for over 80% of businesses either. However, for companies with zealous network administrators and IP-based access control this is a real problem that needs solutions like NAT.
The fact that it will take time is not a counter-argument.
It takes a while for all that new money to move through the economy. Plus the Fed has been paying banks interest on their excess reserves in order to prevent that sort of thing.

Hell, AFAICT I’m still living off the money I got from unemployment insurance two years ago and have just been banking the cash for the job I’ve had for the last year (and a day, yesterday was my anniversary apparently).
We have very little understanding of how "thoughts" work when it comes to humans

Is that even correct? We may have little understanding of how our low-level hardware works. But as a participant of therapy I’m pretty sure we know how thoughts work on a programmable level. How words, visuals and so on trigger associated emotions, which resurface memories, which induce [in]action of different sorts. That’s basically what people work with between sessions. I’ve fixed things in me this way - disassembled them into basic parts and reassembled in a way that seemed useful. Someone may have no clue how they think, but with nominal intelligence, trained self-perception, basic understanding of therapy methods and professional help everyone can do that.

Btw, I think “therapy” is an absolutely horrible term for it. It should be called “mind management”, but the way we come to it is usually long-term traumatic, thus it’s “therapy”.

To be clear, I’m not arguing with your main line, just adding that the difference between a human and a model you’re describing is not only huge, but also pretty defined. I [want to] believe that in a relatively near future AI companies will be able to connect different models to work together alike to what we know about our minds, because that will make a good thread, and philosophers itt will finally face their nightmares for real (:agitated sardonic face emoji:)
Here in France people only ever do fixed rate, generally for 20 or 25 year mortgages. I have never heard of someone buying a home with a variable rate loan, not sure if it's even legal.

It might have been a pretty good deal for the people who bought homes with 25 year 0.7-0.9% interest rate mortgages these last few years.
This is simply an implementation detail of how language models are used and is not relevant to the question of sentience. You could trivially run the language model without waiting for a prompt, or off a random prompt, or whatever. The fact that a computer program is run at specific times doesn't mean it is sentient or not.

To me it reads more focused on developers than users of the site you build.

I like that in the last couple of years the developer experience was improved in some ways, this kind of apps that you could develop "easily" as monolithic could be served in a serverless hosting as a microservice (if I understood correctly how serverless works) serving each endpoint as a separate service, everything without you as dev put too much effort into it.

I feel like comments like that on HN are pretty easily ignored though, no? Unless people are seeing the article posted here, and then going to Twitter and replying or DMing @foone about it - which I would agree is a bit out of order.
It’s quite common in research to plot the aircraft noise footprint. It looks like this:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3cvpfoj7mb8/TJpQu-_IqfI/AAAAAAAAC7...

A significant part of the noise signature is from the jet of hot turbulent air shearing against the surrounding cool air. This happens behind the aircraft. The Doppler effect plays a role too but for jet aircraft the noise is generated behind the aircraft and much is projected backwards. A lot of work has gone into geometries to reduce this shear noise.

This is a nice puzzle. I wonder, when generating the puzzle, how do you prove the solution is unique? If you take the naive approach of just fitting words to the space, there is a chance that alternative solutions could become possible by chance.

Simple example: you can never have the following contiguous string:

WORDSAMPLE

Because the solution could legitimately be WORDS+AMPLE or WORD+SAMPLE.

A brute force of all possible contiguous regions, to hunt for rogue alternative solutions, is probably feasible in this small grid, but is there a better way?
This means that you pay ~4 USD per kWH. That's almost 12 times more expensive than in Germany where electricity is supposedly expensive. Where do you live?
> However, I bet I could prompt LaMDA and have it generate responses that unambiguously mean that it wants X, and then that it doesn't want X, with a bit of experience.

The argument is that many people dismiss that LaMDA could be sentient, based on an argument that it is a computer. So you are asserting that you can prompt LaMDA to give nonsensical answers, which is essentially an argument that it could not fool you in a Turing test. Would you change your assessment if LaMDA would fool you?
That's fair. I guess the way I think about it, "a computer executing a set of instructions in its registers" is general enough to cover any arrangement of silicon that would be potentially interesting. But now that you mention it, the set of arrangements which aren't (essentially) isomorphic to a turing machine, and yet exhibit rich interesting behaviors, possibly resembling things like conceptualization or natural language ability—would be very interesting to consider, though it seems unclear at this point whether we'll ever find an example.

> I don't see why the right arrangement of ordinary molecules can't result in consciousness.

This is covered by the "hard problem" of consciousness. It is hard because it appears to be by definition something incapable of expression through ordinary physical relations.
Sure I'll take on your hobbies, maybe the family (if good) so you can work on Ghidra ;-) Ok, that's silly, I get your point but maybe put your feedback on their github at least.
Brilliant advise ! Well done, I like the almost algorithmic recipe here.

Speaking of writing, (sorry for slight high-jack) when writing your "ad copy"(yes I know it's the devils work, especially on HN). But since we sharing writing tips :) Here is my ad-copy tip and litmus test

Can I exchange company/ad-subject with one of my competitors and does the copy still make sense ? If yes then the ad/sales-argument is NOT unique enough and usually bad.

Super Stupid example:

You own an "Estate agency called Joe`s Family Homes and your ad-copy is:

"At Joe's We, Sell the best houses and get you in the right home for the lowest price"

Meh... Very generic and you can exchange "Joe" for any of your competitors and the ad will still be true and make sense (and be crap).

A 'better version' might be:

"Joe Smith (From Joe's Homes), who grew-up in your neighbourhood will not only get you in your next home, he probably went to high school with you and knows the in's and out of this town"
Your rhetoric, and the practices you're advocating for, rightfully hurt the public's trust in scientific and public health institutions. As a layperson, I don't trust someone who lies to me, no matter that they say it's "for your own good!!". Their interests aren't aligned with mine.

"It's an emergency, so surrender your rights and give us more power over you!" Huh. Looks like Covid was a great opportunity for hedge funds and the expansion of government control. Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Sorry, this is just funny considering how JS-on-the-server has become a (the?) dominant web paradigm among startups and newer tech teams. It's like a comment from 2014.
You pay more than 4 USD per KWh? Wow.

Do you mind shared where this is?
I'm slightly more concerned by the opposite - experts get so used to denying that something is really sentient that they're slow to acknowledge when something actually is or could be. This is problematic if you believe sentient AI should have rights or if it's the boundary at which AI risk nightmares become possible.
> So, creepy thought: should we be recording audio of our parents, so we can still "hear from them" once in a while after they die?

Also Nissan Leaf price (3700kJPY/40kWh, without any grant) is closer to Powerwall (1200kJPY/13.5kWh, without any grant), despite Leaf come with full vehicle feature and V2H. I think Japan home battery market lacks competition.
Aside from terrible middleboxes, SCTP also suffered from a lack of kernel implementations on non-Linux platforms and performance issues in the existing implementation.

It's still there but there hasn't been a need for a protocol to really use it. Protocols like HTTP(S) could really use the SCTP benefits but those need solid client implementations; server protocols like DNS or FTP are restricted more by their own limitations than by TCP, really. Of course you'll find niche use cases where SCTP would've been a godsend, but without proper Windows support _and_ broken middleboxes ruining everybody's internet experience, SCTP was sort of doomed from the start.

MPTCP has some compatibility advantages and TCP-inside-TCP allows for solid client side implementations that can be linked to the userland code itself (https://github.com/ngi-mptcp/curl/wiki/Multipath-TCP-on-Wind...) without elevating credentials; sadly, SCTP didn't have that luxury, as Windows (rightfully) restricted access to raw sockets not long after SCTP began to gain popularity among its fringe group of supporters.

The pride remark is anecdotal on my part, but based on SUV sales I would argue that my point is close to true in the US.

Cars are a luxury. If you are willing to pay a tax based on engine displacement , give priority on roads to pedestrians and cyclists, and still prefer car-travel, then it is a win-win. If you want city governments to prioritize car-travel over everyone else, then it is a win-lose. The only winner will be car-owners who can spare the cash flow.

The economics on transporting 1s of kgs of food by 1000s of kgs of metal no longer makes sense in the United States for the majority of people as they have poor cash flow and poor balance sheets. I think economically speaking delivery trucks and local supermarkets should take most of the burden.
Yes! Viral injury is not a new thing but Covid certainly has brought it to the forefront. Most people maybe remember learning about post-polio and have heard of other viral injury but I think it's a valuable thing that it's getting more attention and research. For me it was Coxsackievirus. It's so very unfortunate that the awareness is coming at the cost of a lot of suffering.
Any suggestions to try?
RSS is not dead for me. I've been reading news/blogs via RSS for many many years now. Self-hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance and subscribed to 300+ feeds.

Sure, some sites drop RSS support once in a while but sometimes they will enable it again upon request.

If a website does not provide RSS, changes are small that I ever come back. If I really want to keep up to date with a site maybe I'll follow on twitter and try to generate an RSS feed from that :)

RSS is great. The biggest benefit is ofcourse that you don't have to visit every.single.site that you are interest in but also filtering and labeling articles really boosts my daily newsflow :)
It has nothing to do with the official Deno project except for being hosted on Deno Deploy which gives you a <projectname>.deno.dev domain. I find deno.dev misleading in the sense that it gives any random project instant credibility.

> You can’t conclude that spatial sensing isn’t a problem because it didn’t crash with a monocular camera. The test is whether it accurately detects all relevant actors/objects in the scene and does so reliably.

Indeed, which is why Tesla have put a lot of effort into showing a visual representation of its object detection. Unlike many (most) other players in this space, Tesla isn't afraid to let people see what their system is capable of in literally any situation their customers wish to drive to.

Most of their competitors are hiding behind L4 which, because of how machine learning works, makes systems appear better than they are. Overfitting is a great way to make rapid gains, but much of it is illusory.

> From a couple FSD videos I’ve seen, the issues center around perception (failing to get the right lane lines, certain detections disappearing briefly, etc.)

Even if true, LiDAR wouldn't help as it cannot see painted lane lines and is extremely weak at object identification.

Looking at the most recent FSD beta (10.12+) as shown on YouTube by real customers, it's quite clear that detection is already damn close to exceptional. When FSD does fail, it's usually either out of an abundance of caution (it is extremely cautious around pedestrians) or because the path planner wasn't making a good decision. It's almost never because the car has failed to see something that LiDAR might have.
So you’re saying you knew it was an “inevitable” scam, and you’re happy that you were able to withdraw your earnings before a massive crash?

I’m not surprised, I hear this exact thought process from a lot of crypto maximalists.
Still it takes a bit space for non-rural Japanese houses. I agree it's good to have it for backup if free space is available.

The more I learn about AI, the less I worry about artificial sentience, and the more concerned I am about human limitations. I think most of us agree that LaMDA isn't sentient, but I think almost all of us are underestimating how easy it is to get fooled, the way Lemoine was. I've also studied cults, and it's actually not "idiots" who tend to get taken in--rather, cult members tend disproportionately to be highly educated and objectively intelligent people... who simply happen (like all humans) to have irrationalities that can be attack vectors for those who prey on the gullible.

I don't think a "robot uprising" is remotely likely. We've spent the past 5,000 years forcing humans to become machines--that's what forced labor, from classical slavery to modern labor-market wage slavery, is--so the probability that we'd intentionally create human-like intelligences (if it were even possible) out of machines to do our robot/slave work is... close to zero, in my view. I do view it as very likely (probability approaching one) that malevolent humans using AI will do incredible damage to our society... it's already happening. Authoritarian governments and employers do massive amounts of evil shit with the technical tools we have now; imagine what hell we're in for if capitalism still exists 50 years from now.

What's scary isn't the possibility that LaMDA is sentient. (It's almost certainly not, and the only reason I qualify this with "almost certainly" is that I can't prove that a rock isn't sentient; it could in theory have subjective experience but no mechanism to convey it.) What we should be afraid of, rather, is that we already have the tools to fool people into believing in artificial person and that it's way, way easier than most people think.
Demand is going to crash with many not being able to afford mortgage payments or rents this will result in prices tanking and people having to top up as property values will be lower than mortgages. I have a feeling commercial property values are being artificially kept inflated by banks, realtors as well as the city governments as lower prices are going to be very painful for everyone. But as defaults start snowballing we will see the dominos fall similar to 2007-8.
pharma companies love homeopathy and similar things more than vaccines. 1 kilo of milksugar can be sold for 20000 USD and since there is statistically not an atom of for example dog shit in one pill, there is no way to prove it.
For the record, I am not accusing you of being on path to a mass murder. I was pointing out that this idea of "if they are trying to deny it then it must be true" is how normal people end up believing in all kind of conspiracy theories.

Who said anything about getting rid of governments? I certainly am not interested in this. I don't even think it would be a good idea to get rid of fiat (or at least state-backed currencies). At the same time having the option of holding currency that is not directly accountable to one of the 200ish current sovereign states in the world is deeply appealing to me (and many others) for a number of reasons.
> and another that detects whether it's a chatbot or a real conversation?

Problem is: How would it do that? In order to for a machine to accurately decide whether its conversation partner is a human or another machine, it would require a model that already accurately understands the difference.

So it's basically a hen-and-egg problem; In order to make the Discriminator for a GAN that should pass the Turing test, I need a machine that could already pass the Turing Test.

Sure, we could feed it billions of human conversations, and train it to recognize some sort of difference, and that could result in a Generator which somewhat mimics the way human conversation works, but that's not what the Turing Test evaluates...when I ask something that is nonsensical like "what does the magnetopause smell like", and the system simply simulates a human speech pattern along the lines of "i don't know, I never tried smelling it", instead of showing actual understanding about the universe that tells it that the question is absurd, it may fool the Discriminator-Algorithm of the GAN, but its not going to convince humans for long.
We will see them again after the recession. They will stay low until at least 2030 then we will print ourselves out of low interest rates. Look at an long term interest rate cycle chart.
Yeah, I was working on a Radiology Information System under NPfIT. We ended up putting in configuration options for everything we were asked to change, despite being explicitly told not to make it configurable and ended up just changing flags back and forth on a weekly basis as they changed their minds between the same options.

I like the idea of a modular battery such as Sungrow SBR series for the ability to scale up:

https://www.acsolarwarehouse.com/news/sungrow-battery-and-hy...

Each module is 3.2kWh. Can start with a small stack of 3 modules (9.6kWh), knowing this can be trivially upgraded 2.6x later without blowing out the cost.

Why not? He's funding the employment of the air taxi people, plus their technology development, and reducing congestion.

I understand the safety concern, but I don't see how "just because" they can afford it is a reasonable objection.
Given the disparity between the current interest rates and the inflation rate, that is more or less what the Fed is doing. They're no where near the point where they're actually trying to stop inflation with interest rates.
