"Belief in AI sentience is becoming a problem", the issue is just regarding people who are starting to believe AI is sentient, it's not even an issue of "is it really sentient or not" because that's just a dumbfounded question as everyone even tangentially in the field can respond.
No, I'm not paying for unfinished product!
I don't think LaMDA (or any other AI) is conscious or sentient.

However, how will we be able to recognise it when we do create something that could be considered sentient? It seems inevitable that we will at some point.

Many of the arguments used to suggest AI isn't sentient seem reductive, for example saying it's just a complex algorithm or statistical system. You could similarly say human brains are just a bunch of neurons firing in sequence to emulate sentience.

In terms of capability, most of these systems seem far more advanced than my pet rabbits, but I believe most people would consider a rabbit conscious and sentient. The obvious thing these AIs lack compared to animals is objective (/emotions), a default mode network, continual learning and medium/long term memory. But are these necessary properties for sentience? If a human loses one of these properties, are they no longer sentient? If we granted these properties to a current generation AI, would it be considered sentient?

considering even "real" companies drop the ball (and entire product features and customers) willy nilly (e.g. Twitter API, Brex ...) I don't really trust anyone — always have a backup plan if a service goes away.

Same thing with clients if you're a contractor — don't rely on that client to pay 60%+ of your income — you'll be in for a world of hurt if something happens with that relationship.

I wonder if they're trapped in a Godot/Epic sandwich right now. I moved from Unity to Godot more or less and while it's not as good, and I'd not use it for commercial stuff (similarly, the Unreal Engine is for my purposes waaay too heavyweight/heavy-duty), it's probably eaten a lot of the good will/vibes audience that Unity enjoyed. (Also Epic donated 250k to Unity a few years ago - https://godotengine.org/article/godot-engine-was-awarded-epi... ). It might be the Godot side is insignificant, but I do wonder! Unity was and remains a cool engine on the whole, I think.

> Joins are what makes relational modeling interesting!

It is the central part of RM which is difficult to model using other methods and which requires high expertise in non-trivial use cases. One alternative to how multiple tables can be analyzed without joins is proposed in the concept-oriented model [1] which relies on two equal modeling constructs: sets (like RM) and functions. In particular, it is implemented in the Prosto data processing toolkit [2] and its Column-SQL language [3]. The idea is that links between tables are used instead of joins. A link is formally a function from one set to another set.

I feel terrible for thinking that smartphones and mobile gaming didn't start until the iphone. I wrote off years of other people's hard efforts to establish the space that apple absolutely annihilated.

The fact that they had a category for "mobile game of the year" in 2005 just shows how hard people were trying to get smartphones going.
Ghosts, gods, aliens can be discarded with a very high probability that they don't exists, or we can say that nobody came up with evidence so far.

Computers rule our world, their existence is not a question so people's reaction and interest is understandable. There are very real fears that AI could mass destroy jobs before we can fix our social systems and benefits, like universal basic income.
Bah. A far bigger and more immediate issue is the widespread faith in the intelligence, competence, and good will of our politicians.

People will find their gods and demons in the world around them, because they want to. Astrology and reading runes haven't vanished, they're just staring into screens for the portents now.

It suddenly becomes "believing in ghosts" to believe in AI sentience.

The global conversation on this is mired in EGO and bad logic and terrible philosophy.

You guys have no idea what consciousness is, yet attribute it to this or that with absolute certainty, born purely out of emotional reaction.

We simply cannot know what is sentient until we understand what sentience is and where it comes from.

YouTrack search bar compared to Jira endless clicking in filters is day and night.

While MacOS gets a lot of deserved flak, there are two features/pieces of software that I am always missing on linux:

- Spotlight, i.e. the search bar, and

- Preview, i.e. the image/pdf/document viewer and editor. It's significantly more feature rich than most pdf readers, allows editing pictures with significantly more tools than paint, allows you to add a signature to sign documents. Absolutely great piece of software.
I'd start by going to business plan and trying again.
first hand experience = anecdote, which in turn means it's a completely,m worthlessly unreliable indicator of a general factual and statistical situation. You're confusing your specific impression from your life in a very tiny part of the vast tapestry that is the United States with a massive generalization that you claim is factual. Anyone here claiming that the Americans suffer from X or Y awful thing at absurd levels should actually try backing it up with a link or two to hard data that shows how much more these bad things apply to Americans than they do to those living in the (apparently) European paradise. As one comment a bit further down notes (no link to a source but at least they make a statistical claim) French people are on average among the world's biggest users of psych medication.
I really liked, when I used them, how well integrated all the tools were: BitBucket, JIRA, Confluence...

No, that's what you're saying. You are claiming that women can't have a nice satisfying fuck without emotional baggage, but men can't have loving relationships of tenderness and emotional connection and it's just a physical act.

My products have no copy protection so that you can use them / backup in the event I die. Besides that, the bias against "small" is so strong, that the end users just don't need to know how small the actual team is. Customers will, again and again, judge things differently depending on branding, and bigger brands tend to win out. Trust is also earned by being dependable, long-lived and focus on quality, and that's what "we" do. Saying you're solo can easily be an excuse for not competing.
Thanks for this. I don't know anything about compilers, but I really enjoyed reading this. Besides the technical insights it provided, I also loved the positive attitude of this article. Two excerpts that stood out for me:

> I'll admit this is not something I would have thought of but it appears to work just fine.

Yes it is; it's a standard definition used across many fields, including parts of mathematics (e.g. game theory and decision theory) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_agent

And consider that even prior to retirement a lot of people start shifting at least some investments into lower risk assets.
As soon as computers were relatively mainstream, people started to worry about their sentience. I think people look for consciousness everywhere the same way we look for faces everywhere; ie, our mind continually finds it even where it doesn't exist.
It used to be fine. The absolute worst of the recent changes is that they got rid of the ability to make a link to a new page by creating [the link] in square brackets, and then clicking on the link once published. Now you can only create links through their menu (or a keyboard shortcut), and only to pages that exist already. IMO when that feature was removed it stopped being a wiki.
"It's not a bug, it's a feature!"
This is how a poker TV table actually work now. Each card has an HF RFID tag, each position has one antenna where players must put card when not seeing them. In addition there is another antenna in the middle of the table to read the common cards. In the past mini cameras were used for each position in combination with OCR to decode the cards.
This sort of tables require collaboration from the players and from the dealer to obtain something useful to show on TV. They are instructed before the game.
The AWK Programming Language is great too. Every technical book should be written this way: describe feature, show feature through example, include cookbooks of useful commands.

Does that include, in increasing sense of doublethink:

1) using illegal drugs to treat debilitating illness, such as autoimmune disease?

2) using nootropic drugs to increase cognitive performance?

3) using illegal drugs to increase general physical and cognitive performance?

4) parking in a handicap spot to shop quicker and with less stress?

5) speeding on the highway when you know it’s gonna be okay and it’ll cut down an hour of your daily commute that you’d rather spend with your family?

6) smuggling conflict diamonds and stolen gold bars in your rectum to get away from the rat race once and for all?

Sure, I’d gladly pay $200 again if it had a large community and a deployment story. What I meant is that I wouldn’t use it again unless it achieved mass adoption. That in turn requires dirt cheap pricing even if I don’t directly care about the price.
Up thread somebody asked what these were. A response had credit card interest deductions (rich people aren't running a credit card debt today, and certainly not in 1970) and easier tax fraud.

This is such a compelling narrative for the "taxes should be lower" crowd that I'm skeptical. Granted, this is my personal bias. But I would love to see the actual clear examples of how people are deducting like 50% of their income or whatever they'd need to bring their 70% marginal rate down to 35%.
This is a reasonable suggestion, but by doing so the results are heavily skewed and might not be representative for the majority of the users.

Yeah, that can happen if you build tricky layouts. Doesn't happen if you keep it simple.

Wot? They are mostly plain initialisms or acronyms. Even 'div' which everyone says 'what the fuck does that even mean?' just stands for "document division".
aldanor also mentions another use case which I only really allude to despite it being an important part of the process: exploratory work. Having a live kernel that maintains kernel state with the benefits of rich outputs is a mainstay of research.
If I can carry on with my business and use your software in the event in which you cease to exist, then yes.

Cease to exist = any event that deletes you from the equation from bankrupcy to the worst case scenario - death.

If you're the bus factor of 1, then I would never use your software (speaking from organisation POV).

If there's a contingency in place, and your software solves the problem I have (speaking from organisation POV), then yes.
The whole J2ME era was a gimmick that went nowhere, did it? Like most of the 2000s write once run everywhere dream Java had for GUI apps.

Sidenote: I would love to read a retrospective of whatever happened to Java on the desktop since. There's an alternate universe out there where we're writing cross platforms apps in Java instead of Electron or Flutter.

Ask HN: Why did Google remove the Images/Shopping/Videos tabs for me?
I searched for a random car on Google this morning (obviously to see pictures of it). To my horror, Google removed the bar with options to navigate to Google Images/Videos/Shopping! In a private window and other Google accounts, I can still see these options. I seriously fear if Google is A/B testing removing that feature, as I use it all the time.

Poor example to use because Mercedes has built the better engine and dominated the hybrid era. But if I ask you to show me their better cars pre-2014 what will you have?

While I don't believe AI sentience is a near-term problem, general public wariness is probably helpful. Since we're already doing things like trusting black-box sentencing algorithms in US courts.

Anyone who argues this should not be let anywhere near sensitive data.

The only way that he would have been infront of them on the track was if he was being lapped.
I don't understand: where are users entering sensitive information, and how is that related to facebook? If I click an ad on facebook and land on some website where I can fill in sensitive information, surely that's beyond facebooks' control?

Were people entering information somehow IN the ad, while still on facebook's page?

Having lived in Colombia and Brazil for a number of years, except for the very rich, after visiting hundreds of peoples homes, I have never seen more than the bible in anyones house. Perhaps if I visit a guy in his mid 20s/early 30s he may have some kind of marvel graphic novel/manga. I think lower middleclass/middle class people in europe and USA have at least a small library or collection of novels or cookbooks or coffeetable books. I also noticed people in Mexico had more as well.. I feel like South America(at least CO + BR) has almost no culture of enjoying books since television/Cellphones came around..
Strange headline since he missed the double diffuser loophole.
Once upon a time, I was gainfully employed at a company that stored its tickets as flat files, using a homegrown ticketing system which was a bunch of perl scripts. Said system had the same name as the first name of the actor who played Jack Horner in Boogie Nights. It had all the good features of a text-based system ... simplicity and greppability being the biggest ones.

It eventually got replaced by some JIRA-like monstrosity, I don't remember which. All the text-based goodness was lost. The excuse for the move to a different system was "performance", which was half true. I'm guessing that nobody wanted to go fix it.

The point behind all this rambling is that yes - flat files can be made to work in the way you mention. It just isn't an approach that is cool enough.
Godot is insignificant but growing, that's the best way to put it. Godot has a lot of pain points, lack of knowledge and best practices which most Unity devs already figured out about Unity. Especially indie 3D is still kind of a pain in Godot.

And in another post you basically discounted the abuse claims entirely, saying it was merely a "tense environment".
