What I find funny is that the description of your version of "creativity" is my general definition of creativity. Has anyone ever done anything completely original and unheard of before? I think to be creative at something is to have a large mental library of concepts within a certain space, and to be able to mix and match those concepts. Much like ripping ideas apart and slapping them back together as you say.

I used to think visual character design was the hardest thing ever. To just come up with something out of nowhere. that being creative like that was a very difficult thing. What I didn't usually see or look at is all the designs those people have seen and taken inspiration from before.

I think that's also why some ideas can be "ahead of their time". Someone made a connection between some concepts that many people haven't yet, and will think is too farfetched. Still, over time people can come to see value in that idea that was dismissed earlier.

Just to reiterate my main point, I think it's easy to look at what other people do and think "Wow, how original!", without ever seeing their inspiration for something. Even though they might just feel like they replicated some patterns.
Came here to say this, I stopped reading after that, just skimmed the article, it's bunch of horsecrap.
The dialog is terrible, acting is meh, argument seemed dumbed down into a kid's movie level and, yet, it explores sentient AI and artificial life, the concept of intelligent software agents acting on the user's behalf, and touches the concept of uploading oneself to a machine and into a simulated reality.

A bit like The Black Hole - Disney didn't know what to do with it.

IIRC, Bonnie Mc Bird's original screenplay was a bit more fantasy-like in that the hero "fell into the computer" by some sort of accident.

Other interesting movie from the time would be Electric Dreams, which also touches the topic of sentient AI, but in a romcom setting with a delightful soundtrack.
Asia is exporting too (Japan, China, Korea). Australia is exporting. The only ones not exporting, i.e. importing is Africa and South America and eastern Europe including Russia if you ignore their oil exports.
Interestingly, if you click on the ToS you end up on a page explaining how it works (can't link it).

The beauty scoring model was found on Github (this or this one). The models to predict age, gender and facial expression/emotion are part of FaceApiJS, which forms the backbone of this project. Do note that its developer doesn't fully divulge on which photos the models were trained. Also, FaceApiJS is bad at detecting "Asian guys".

Apparently some dating apps rates their users with these sort of algorithms. Maybe I'm living under a rock but I did not know that was a thing.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No 786641.
Do you believe the terms of service?
This is really a very good talk, kudos (cudos?) to the speaker. It really drives home the core point about the high level resource management issues you'll face when using a GPU and how you have to plan your algorithms so carefully to ensure they'll fit.
She was in the same state of mind. We both left it to the doctor to decide. And that turned out to be a poor choice.
> You appear unaware of the magnitude of the system that now supplies kerosene to aircraft.

Not at all. That system has a huge advantage over what you're proposing because a) it's distributed, and b) the energy doesn't have to be put into the kerosene by the infrastructure, it's already there.

> Getting electric power to airports will be an overwhelmingly smaller job than moving kerosene there

With the power requirements you're talking about, you're genuinely better off generating it onsite. The national grid won't cope. ~30 conventional nuclear reactors in the 500MW range ought to do it. Your wind option looks like tripling the UK's current onshore capacity, and solar means replacing Slough with a 14kmx14km square of photovoltaics (tempting), assuming it's always windy and/or sunny.

> Generating the power to send to it will be an overwhelmingly smaller job than exploring, drilling, pumping, transporting, refining, transporting again, and distributing petroleum products

Again, distributed vs concentrated. You've got to do that work all in one place.

> The equipment can be where the tanker trucks used to stop.

Problem of scale again. If you need a supply equivalent to 34 of the current biggest hydrogen-producing plant to generate the hydrogen, a fair guess says that you need at least a double-digit multiple of the land area of that plant to do so. "Where the tanker trucks used to stop" doesn't really work unless you mean "the west half of Hounslow". Besides which, if we're winding down kerosene infrastructure while hydrogen ramps up, they're both in use at the same time, so no, the equipment can't be where the tanker trucks used to stop because they're still there. Can't have it both ways.

If you're generating on-site, the rate you need to be generating H2 is high enough that you absolutely can't be faffing about with underground caverns. You need to be piping it straight into buffer tanks that will supply one (1) plane then get refilled while the next plane taxis up.

> Measuring future industry against current output before any of it is built gives you bad numbers.

And planning without taking account of basic physics is worse. All I'm doing here is using a rough guess at the current energy requirements for the current activity and using that as a guide for future requirements according to your layout which, I think, is fair. If you think there are economic assumptions which break that, say so. If there are social changes you need to happen in order for this to make sense, say so. Otherwise you're arguing with thermodynamics.

Efficiencies may come into the picture; I've assumed they're a wash between hydrogen generation tech, the on-site power generation, and present-day gas-turbine jets but even if that's not the case it's tweaking round the edges. This whole picture looks at least an order of magnitude out from anything practical in every respect.
Good point. I have to say I'm wary of that, recursive make is not a good idea, and the problem can't be fixed by building a better make, because the issue is that it breaks up the dependency graph and creates build problems.

Eg, if you have src/lib, and src/bin, and the src/bin project depends on the src/lib library, then in self-contained, recursively invoked makefiles (or anything else), you won't get a correct behavior when a header in the library changes.
While advocating for Free Software and Open Source (that war was vicious) I frequently invoked Tron's mission: "We fight for the users".
It seems no different than adding a feature dark in one PR and turning it on in a second. “The atomic action is launching the new feature to users” seems like an equivalent argument (and one with which I disagree).
I'm an anti-react by truth, not bias. I'm fine with me-too approach when a company adopts React. But if your company has resources and still pick React, the knowledge and experience of the decision maker is questionable.

This is not coping! It is speaking truth to deniers.

Definitely, they are the ones to blame by not upping their game, this includes Intel as well.

They have had 15 years to improve OpenCL tooling to outmatch CUDA, they haven't done so.
My own experience tells me I was only able to lose weight under either of these two conditions:

1) daily HIIT, preferably multiple times

2) not eating for 7-35 days at all (just water/electrolytes/vitamins/potassium)

Eating just a little while doing just a bit of sport just made me tired, and didn't lead to any weight loss.

It sounds a bit like you are emotionally invested in it.

Mind that if you sell, the buyer can do whatever they want. They can take your software and make it a small module of their closed source thing or even just try to convince your customers to go with their solution and let everything else go.

Similar with VC. The goal for the VC is to sell their stake and before that they get notable voting power to push directions.

This all can be fine and good, but multiple times I have seen founders who only realized late that they lost their child. If you are aware of that go on, however if you are profitable (inclusing your time!) and are attached maybe continuing that way is best for your own happiness. But likely you won't become rich and certainly not quickly.
Yes, and it matches the definition of an "operating system".

Originally, an "operating system" is a system that takes the role of an operator. In the early days, operators were people who loaded programs, feed them data, fetched the results, etc... for the users. Matching the modern definition of an interface between the user and hardware.

Kubernetes allocate servers (hardware) to containers just like a typical OS allocate CPU and memory to processes. And it stands between the user (here, the sysadmin) and the hardware (the servers). "Operating system of the cloud" is, I think, a good description of Kubernetes.

You obviously have not used the alternatives that were available before Git. After CVS and Subversion, Git was just a breeze of fresh air. But UX still has a lot of room for improvement.

Except the author did not really give problems. They gave a list of features they think would be needed, and some of those implied problems... but this post was a list of desired solutions. I have no idea what specifically they meant when they referred to git having pain points. I can guess based on my own experience, but a list of specific problems would have been lovely.

> Spending 12+ hours on a bus is not an improvement over a 2 hour flight

My argument is that there is no such thing as a 2-hour flight. We still need to factor the time to get to the airport, check-in/boarding, getting off the plane, waiting for luggage, and then getting from the airport to your actual destination. That easily transforms any trip into a 5- or 6-hour event.

Factor in that if you are flying to a place where you need a hotel to "sleep on your own bed", suddenly even a very luxurious night bus might come out ahead in price and practicality.

Granted, for an European context it makes a lot less sense to talk about intercity bus because we have a reasonably extensive rail network. But put your hate of buses aside for a moment and consider that buses can be better, so from a North American perspective it can make sense to consider it.
You don't need to learn its internals or read its code. You do need to learn what it does. This is not unreasonable, and is not the reason its interface is a mess.
Not sure why you are downvoted, this is on the money. Our current government has been sent away, multiple times (even after election, effectively the same parties/people formed a new cabinet). Ever since the elections, and ridiculous long formation, they are polling 30 - 35 seats under the (minimal) majority of 76 seats.

I bet quite some people are very much working on diverting attention here and there.

The people who think AI is conscious without any definition or measure of consciousness. Conflate consciousness with computation.

The only reason we do this is because our computation organ seems to also be our consciousness organ.

We don’t understand consciousness well but we do understand computation.

Given infinite time and space all the computation in any AI system can be done manually using sticks and stones. If it likely that system of sticks and stones become conscious?

It is ethically very dangerous to extend the same care to a convincing computation pulls at our evolutionary heartstrings as one would to a sentient creature that is capable of pain and suffering.
Yea definitely! That's what I mentioned under `Less security`.

I agree and would love to see a list of what is out there, and some elaboration on good microcontrollers / accessories / platforms to use for bespoke projects.
Indeed - I was also surprised by this. One possibility, which I hope is true, is that the authors are funded for something else (some actual research). If they spent a few hours of their workday to throw this together, they might be obligated to cite their funding agency.

I know for a fact that I've acknowledged funding agencies on papers about topics that were at best extremely tangential to my grant.

A less flattering possibility is that they wanna use EU affiliation as a badge for respect for privacy or something like that.

We were talking about correctness. RISCs by definition have simpler architectures that CISCs - that's what makes them RISCs. And simpler architectures leave less room for confusion/bugs/faults in the architecture, irrespective how they are implemented.
Well, in reading it, those reasons didn't seem to follow on from those points to me. They don't really address working in a pure way from state, just specific things they don't like in a particular implementation.

Specifically "UI is not a pure function of a little pile of centrally defined state" is just this assumption that isn't true, Elm literally gives you no choice, you only have that, and it works, so it clearly can be.

It also ignored all the value you gain from doing it that way. As I say, I've written a fair bit of Elm at this point, and it can often be verbose which can be annoying, but it is actively not complex in the best way, with it being very easy to reason about and bulletproof once it compiles.

If it is a basic trait as you point out, I would suggest OP should look into a financial advisor. I don't recommend advisors to everyone, because it is more expensive than DIY portfolios, but having a financial advisor sounds like a good abstraction layer for OP. OP can just tell the advisor financial goals they'd like to reach and the advisor will come up with a portfolio with the appropriate amount of risk to reach those goals.

Given the timing of the post is in a period of economic uncertainty, it could be relevant to point out financial advisors are also good at persuading investors not to make big investment mistakes such as selling when the stock market is down.
If clone push and pull were overloaded into a

git sync --from <local or remote ref, or .> --target <local or remote ref, or .>

It would not change much.

The problematic kind of overloading are like how

git push origin master

and

git push origin master:master

push master to origin while

git push origin :master

deletes master from origin.

That's what any REPL does. And it works great with typed data. Sometimes even with graphical output.

It underestimated my age by 15 years. Not sure if this is due to the AI being biased or simply inaccurate in general. (I'm Asian, and from the experience of me and others, Asians tend to get their age greatly underestimated in the west.)
Then it's a lost cause, you can't expect an editor to understand content, their function is to impose style, any reasonable exposure to formal language should be sufficient (but actually I disagree completely).

If major publications can't employ decent editors what hope have you?
I should have specified "for UI", I suppose, but the quote I gave, and:

> The idea of UI being a pure function of the model seems so obviously incorrect, and leads to such a plethora of problems, that it is a bit puzzling how one could come up with it in the first place, and certainly how one would stick with it in face of the avalanche of problems that just keeps coming. A part of this is certainly the current unthinking infatuation with functional programming ideas. These ideas are broadly good, but not nearly as widely or universally applicable as some of their more starry-eyed proponents propose (I hesitate to use the word "think" in this context).

> I want more Jackie Chan

I too want more Jackie Chan: long take highlighting the actions, extremely skilled performer, large budgets spent on retakes until the shot is perfect. But that’s Hong Kong Jackie Chan. Apart from a brief stint in the 70s, Hollywood has never been keen on making interesting movies. They are first and foremost a money making machine. With Disney having consolidated so much of the production market, I fully expect formulaic movies to be released ad nauseam and to be honest as much as it pains me that’s what the general public wants.

Thankfully things get better as soon as you leave the American market.

Isn't it just signing/verifying? I.e. "encryption" with a private key is how RSA is being used to sign, and "decryption" with a public key - used to verify the signature.

Most of these micro-SaaS are in shovels business if this was a new gold rush dream. I've observed this space for years, the only saas that makes money is marketing tools / analytics. It's true that B2B is boring, it does not have many types of app. I don't have number but my perception is that this long tail has a big chuck of shovels business. And I'm very skeptical about "niche" vertical type of app, I think it's tooooo small market share even if you told me that some market is really big that 1% is enough for small fish.
> I suggest much of what large pre-trained models do is a form of artificial mimicry. Rather than stochastic parrots, we might call them stochastic chameleons. Parrots repeat canned phrases; chameleons seamlessly blend in new environments. The difference might seem, ironically, a matter of semantics. However, it is significant when it comes to highlighting the capacities, limitations, and potential risks of large pre-trained models. Their ability to adapt to the content, tone, and style of virtually any prompt is what makes them so impressive—and potentially harmful.

> Here’s the thing about mimicry: It need not involve intelligence, or even agency. The specialized pigment-containing cells through which chameleons and cephalopods blend in their environments may seem clever, but they don’t require them to intentionally imitate features of their surroundings through careful analysis.

The author thinks reducing models to a parrot is too lowly, because in his conception parrots are just dumbasses who repeat phrases at random apparently. So he invents the term "stochastic chameleons", which is a downgrade - parrots are much smarter, and language is far more complicated than the adaptations chameleons and cephalopods do. But the heavy-lifting comes down to the term "intentionality", which pervades the entire article. The author equates intelligence to intentionality, a big mistake.

Another issue is this constant bemoaning of models as susceptible to human biases. Language models can be trained to be racist, sexist or hateful - so what? What does this have to do with mimicry and intelligence?

Yes, by "fit" I meant "not fat". And if a person doesn't lose weight from the exercise, then I'd say it's a strong indicator their exercise isn't an Olympic level Michael Phelps training, which would give them the metabolism to counteract the effect of junk food.

Even with heavy exercise, I have a strong suspicion your doctor wouldn't recommend you a diet like that. Just because by some miracle it works for one guy (and who knows what the consequences are going to be in a couple decades), doesn't mean it's good advice for the general populace.
