> Let go of pride and commute by bicycle.

It has nothing to do with pride.

Cars are comfortable and convenient. You get a nice seat, air the temperature you want it, and can carry actual cargo. It's easy to run a complete loop of errands after your workday, because you can store stuff in your car.

I went from around ten years of riding the trains in Tokyo to driving a car around a Japanese suburb. Japanese public transportation is excellent, easily best on Planet Earth, and the car wins hands-down.

AI do not simply fish contents from an existing database. Instead, they use a repertoire to extract rules and create new instances, exactly as we do when we learn to speak. DALL-E can create an image of something even if it was not in its training set and a LamDA can create a sentence and even a concept that was not in its reading repertoire.

I still don't really understand how Oliver feels outrage at the normal functioning of the only government he is willing to live in, where his political views are the norm, and them being dissatisfied has made him wealthy and influential in a way he never could have been as a humor-focused comedian.

So there is a difference between what people are supposed to do and what people actually do. What I am wondering now is why IPv6 didn't adapt NAT as a first class feature, if IPv6 added something like port number in IPv6 header, NAT could not break protocols. It seems IPv6 strongly resists NAT, but in reality, people still use NAT on IPv6.
Hovering is the signature helicopter move for laymen, but it's also considerably hard, and "high hover takeoff/landing" is, IIRC, one of the hardest maneuvers (it's been years since I've read the pilot's textbook, though)

There's also a lot of other things that can impact the event - for example, the crash I mentioned involved bad weather, tired crew, and losing both engines at once due to icing. They autorotated and nobody died... but they fell into a forest, landed hard enough to destroy undercarriage, and the first officer survived by accident due to helping get passengers into position when a tree smashed his station.

EDIT: corrected captain to first officer, as visible in this photo: https://static.polityka.pl/_resource/res/path/bc/08/bc086fae... (it's Mi-8, so captain sits on the left, not on the right as is normal in western helicopters)
That is not how rent prices work. It is pretty much supply and demand. No one cares how much your financing costs. If people start losing their jobs because the FED induces a recession, that means less money for rent. Younger folks move back in with their parents. People take on an extra roommate or two. Demand for rental units goes down. Prices go down.

If a significant fraction of landlords have financing costs that greatly exceed rental income, that is their problem. They can't just pass that cost on to renters because they feel like it.

It seems too simplistic to be taken at face value that statistics, randomness and pattern matching would be the only ingredients necessary for intelligence and sentience.

Supply-chain attacks are a real vector, one that seems to be able to have a larger impact by each day, as the OSS ecosystem grows and the dependency of using dependencies grow.

People want to be able to use 3rd party packages, like we've been doing for quite some time now. But there are a lot of them, and no (easy) way to manage exactly which one are "good" vs not, without manually going through each one of them, for each project.
Or perhaps the market knows that the official rate of inflation is nowhere close to the real rate of inflation and are pricing that in?

Also, I saw an article the other day where the Fed is no longer buying MBS as part of QE <mark whatever> as of last month (I believe, could have been march) so a major buyer has left the market. A buyer who bought for no other reason other than to prop up the market I might add.
> That requires having gone to new york, having tastes, having judgements, having memory -- having a subjectivity which is unique and composed of the history of your experiences which can be related to novel environemnts. It requres existing in a shared world we can both co-refer to with our words. It requires being embedded in a space of social and physical significance.

are you saying that I would not be considered an intelligent being if I had a jar in a brain left with my thoughts since my birth ? I don't think that this is what humans mean by intelligence...

also I don't really see the fundamental difference between "tastes", "judgements" and "memory" - making a judgment, having an opinion on something, etc... is just stopping the brain from reasoning past a certain step and internally saying "this is good enough" most likely because this is tiring to our frail physical bodies. Like, I don't like eating eggs for instance, but that's just because I don't make the effort of convincing myself that I like them. There's no intelligence in this, just laziness.

> The author didn't even realise that every point he made concerning the "ruthlessness" of the machine, applies to all external natural forces as well.

The ruthlessness is not only with machines but also with all the natural powers. But in the case of machines that are made by humans, the author specifically created a term called machine-assisted ruthlessness for such behavior, which distinguishes between the two.
when I was a teen I was sent to bed at 10, had no trouble falling asleep and got plenty of sleep. I know teens like to rebel and do what they want and stay up late, but that's different than saying it's difficult for them to actually fall asleep at a reasonable hour and it seems rather drastic to rearrange everyone else's schedule to accommodate staying up late playing games and texting

I really don't think this guy intended to run a hoax or generate publicity, given that he's made himself look foolish. I think he was actually seduced by the idea of a sentient computer. It's not that far a leap to go from the stance of well-respected people inside Google who believe we'll see artificial sentience within 30 years to believing that we've achieved it now with something like LaMDA.

We're all suspectible to this. The more time you spend with something, and the more time you spend wanting to see things, the more likely you are to catch a pattern that isn't really there. Have we achieved anything close to AGI? No, of course not. Are more and more people going to be fooled by what we have achieved? Yes, absolutely. The so-called Turing test is actually shockingly easy to pass.

I don't think Lemoine s an idiot. Maybe he's mentally ill; maybe he's not, but has been taken in for other reasons, just as people without biological mental illness are still susceptible to being taken in by cults.
Its very likely that from a certain perspective the human brain might basically be a spreadsheet. Okay so the software and hardware are not familiar because evolution developed them instead of us. But we do appear to be very predictable in our actions and responses. Would the spreadsheet know if it was one? Even if the cell 'am i a spreadsheet' = 'no'?
Both changes break BC though. I see the underlying divergence of opinion as one of signalling: changing loop semantics would silently change code behaviour, even if it should usually be for the better there’s a bit of an 1172, whereas making the loop variable non-reference-able noisily breaks code which is almost guaranteed to be incorrect.
Reddit is not a platform for self-promotion, and moderators there are very keen for it not becoming such a place.

Each subreddit is moderated differently by completely volunteer moderators. How things are in one subreddit does not really tell you how it is in another.

In broad terms, directly engaging as a company on Reddit by creating a post is generally frowned upon. What works better is to respond to posts in the comments hwhere your company would be relevant. But it is very hard to toe the line between spamming advertisements, and engaging with the community. 90% of companies I see trying to engage on Reddit seem to do it with metrics such as ROI or engagement in mind, rather than simply trying to make a community a better place.

If you go by the former, you'll have your posts removed and maybe even banned from the community. If you do the latter, then you will make some headway.

E.g. Do not promote your business selling router bits, DO make a lengthy post explaining the differences between router bits and how to choose one that's right for you.
> "But we do know exactly what we'd like to formally model"

Do we really? I thought it was a deeply intractable problem for cognitive theorists and other such experts.

Haven't you ever encountered a challenge that you at first thought was straight-forward and obvious to solve, but after digging in find it was unexpectedly nuanced and difficult?

> "The limits of this are harder to pin down, as, again, we lack a deep formal understanding."

Doesn't that contradict?

If you were to try pinning down precisely what you mean by "the kind of sentience that living, awake humans surely have, most animals probably have, and rocks definitely don't have", I suspect it will not be nearly as easy as you think.

How do you know rocks don't have it, for instance? How do you know you do, for that matter?
I think that's great until those middleboxes start trying to parse TLS headers. TLS 1.3 looks like TLS 1.2 because of the same protocol ossification problem.

There will be issues with middleboxes, but in my opinion middleboxes have been given more than enough time to stop freaking out about network interception after the problem with TLS 1.3 was discovered.

The Red Hat people primarily seem to focus on this as a backend/server-to-server communication method which means that MPTCP (or SCTP) can be rolled out without too much trouble. A big problem SCTP has is that there is no good implementation outside Linux, and even on Linux performance is suboptimal. MPTCP can be linked into the application at runtime (https://github.com/ngi-mptcp/curl/wiki/Multipath-TCP-on-Wind...) so that's not necessarily an issue here, which helps.
Wouldn't this be relatively easy if we wanted it? We could just feed it a "time step" token periodically?
I do agree that the term feels like a misnomer, but mainly because it gives an air of respectability to simple bad engineering with great cost. The idea is that debt is accrued intentionally and strategically, but everyone is so used to constantly referring to tech debt that just doing a job well has been completely forgotten. If there are real problems, can we just have a list of tasks to improve things? Maybe it's just boredom but the term 'tech debt' doesn't feel that it's doing much good any more.

> For time to market create a zerocode/crappy MVP that you throw away.

Unfortunately what tends to happen is that as the business sees early success and starts to grow, there is never a stopping point where people are happy to start again and build from scratch 'properly'. That crappy MVP will be extended, adjusted and corrected, until it's something no longer throwaway but also not well built/tested/hosted/monitored/etc.

Maybe slow down to go faster is a better approach.
> JPM and their clown gang has been screaming "buy the dip" non stop since Jan.

Well... long-term (=20-30 years) "buying the dip" is the one true way to make outlandish profits (other than gambling with options), the thing is you have to be financially able and psychologically strong enough to not sell on the inevitable downturns - and you need to spread your purchases.

Retail investors should stay the fuck out of single stocks or narrow-scope indices, at least with money they cannot afford to lose.

While the specifications are more complex, I find much more sensible in management than docker-compose, and allowing easier expansion (not scaling the service, expansion of underlying hardware) which means keeping costs lower can be easier.
Tophat[1] is a game engine using umka for scripting. This means all the performance critical parts are written in c, but game scripts are made in umka for simplicity and less crashes. A lot of game engines do that (godot, löve).

Embedded programming languages can also be used for user made scripts. Either in games as a form of modding or in other software (see blender and its use of python).

Yes, you wouldnt be intelligent if you were literally a brain in a jar.. you'd
have nothing to say. You dont have any "thoughts at birth". A brain absent stimulation from the environment, doesnt do anything.

The brain-in-the-jar example presumes that the whole nervous system receives identical stimulation as-if it were embedded in the world.

Incidentally, this is what people mean by intelligence... by since no one has studied the relevant science, people do not know what's required to provide it.

Ruby is another amazing experience of mine. Although it’s limited to web backend tasks and not “realtime” performant - it outperforms any other tool in terms of dev speed and satisfaction.

And in real life you very rarely need “realtime” performance, but it’s much mich cheaper to buy another server than to hire another engineer to deal with java spring mess.

No pain, no gain. We just suck it up for a few years. Our future generations will thank us.

You get immediate savings by stopping road expansion and cutting fuel demand (close lanes on big roads, replace with bicycle lanes).
You get 3-10 years of pain from bicycle/walk-commuting in a city designed for cars. To compensate, let people build supermarkets and stores in single family zoned areas. Subsidize rent-a-bike companies with funds from gas taxes and frozen road construction projects.

This is basically the only sure-fire way to let poor people generate free cash flow to survive the recession without having to helicopter them money. This has worked for developing countries like China. Also, this is a way to keep cities financially solvent by letting the tax revenue to land area ratio increase naturally as people adjust to human-powered commuting.
I guess the spirit of what you're saying is that I reacted with excessive condemnation. Yeah, you're right. Truth is important and I don't regret the information I gave out, but I agree that I should have taken it easier.
