I hate the pop sci ill-defined notion of AGI. As soon as a task is defined, an AI is developed which completes the task from real world data with superhuman success. The work of making the superhuman model isn't even conceptual usually, it's a matter of dispatching training jobs. It's quite clear that if your definition of AGI is superhuman perf at arbitrary tasks, there's no conceptual barriers right now. Everything is mere scale, efficiency and orchestration.

Isn’t this because children don’t taste bitter the same way adults do? Most of what salt does for us is reduce the perception of bitter, iirc (for taste, obviously it does other things).

That would suggest it is physiological , not acquired.
How to prevent or empower this epidemy of the easy from happening at least for a minotiry, in your opinion?
You are correct. I have no illusions that anything like this would be passed by property owning council members.

I live in a coastal California town that is a tourist destination. Houses on either side of me are Airbnbs. Long term rentals are in short supply and rents are insane. Council members own Airbnb rentals and will never do anything to harm their cash cow-- what limits they have put into place exempt their own with grandfathering clauses.

Presumably part of the reason was to create more states without a history of slavery, to avoid another Civil War. And also at the same time, to have more settlements to control the natives.

Lincoln said the Homestead Act was to "elevate the condition of men." By which the ex-Indian warrior meant "except Indians." Not surprisingly, it also included freed slaves, because moving west would be less uncomfortable than moving north, Lincoln having a history of that racism, too.

And the railroads didn't want to give away land. They were busy reclaiming it via eminent domain for their own profits. The abuses of railroads and banks who could not properly insure savings turned folks like Jesse and Frank James into folk heroes.

I wonder what future archaeologists will think of this structure in the middle of the desert. Maybe they'll think it was ritual or religious, much like how we think of Stonehenge today.
+1 for Hashicorp Vault, it's amazing and easily extendable. My plugins which I developed years ago still work with the latest version.
What GUI? I think you're misunderstanding. No one is proposing changing how things link.

The concept here is that executables and objects are the same structures and there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to link to a routine found in /bin/ls as we would link to a routine found in libm.so.

This has nothing to do with "packaging library and exe code together."
The core axiom is unfalsifiable because it hinges on asserting the intent, and relying on other unfalsifiable questions to try and ascertain intent ("why do decentralization if not to avoid legal risk of doing bad things?"), but the answers proposed by crypto proponents aren't ideals or scenarios that the writer empathizes with, it seems

Plenty of SSDs implement strong encryption, and there's an entire standard API for it. Why waste cpu on tasks your hardware already does?

Bitlocker supports on drive hardware encryption, and I'd be surprised if other major file systems didn't.

If I recall, it's a FIPS requirement for data at rest now.
Btw, a lot of bad things are already present as compile time warnings. Using -Wall -Werror (or similar) should already the default for new projects for well over a decade.

You probably know that, but "stealing" stuff from there is also a good idea. Plus, iirc, there are several additional warning options that are not contained in -Wall. Maybe you want to add some of these, too.
In general, anything that has a “textbook” solution is easy. What it’s doing here is more recitation than synthesis. Where it becomes harder, and where my method is necessary, is when you need to specify the structure of the solution yourself because the model can’t get there on its own.

Ah yes! I wrote a very extensive comment about phoenix vs django and forgot one of the biggest drawbacks of phoenix and ecto: the very very heavy macro usage. This is really problematic. When using Django and get an exception you can see the line that threw and (usually) understand the problem. When using phoenix if the error is on some macro related code, you are lost.

Also in Django you can easily follow the code to understand what's going on under the hood. This is not very easy in phoenix since macros are involved.

Don't get me wrong I understand that macros are used to make the code more ergonomic and avoid repeating stuff. However macros are so complicated and out of my league that I don't even try understanding them.

You should not need an IQ of 150 to understand a web framework. That's the reason phoenix w could never be widely adopted. People need a tool not a way to show off their intelligence.

What strikes me as the common element in all those situations is that it is always people deciding how others should live or act. It's never about them, they are doing just fine. But others, those should abide by the fairly arbitrary restrictions thrown up. Either because of religion, or because of fear there is always some button that can be pressed to get people to tell other people how they should live their lives.

You can see this in almost every ethics debate, be it about gay marriage, euthanasia, treatment of prisoners, immigration, abortion etc. And as a rule it's the same 'busybodies' as you call them on the wrong side of the argument.

I’m happy that Safari, who have been at times been criticised for not keeping up, are on this occasion helping to push web standards forward. That has nothing to do with who was “first”, but in this case they happen to have been. If they were two weeks behind I would have made the same comment on a thread about a blog post on their own blog.
This is a perennial problem in the insurance industry, but in kind of the opposite way. In insurance, your job is to take on financially predictable risk at a premium that matches the predicted risk. You exclude risks that you're not comfortable predicting. But excluding risks usually also means you don't get detailed data about them, making it difficult to justify continuing or discontinuing the exclusion.

I don't think the model is big enough to Chinese Room prompts like this. It has to "conceptualize" them (in the least loaded sense of the word that works).

These types of integrations are nice and very much appreciated as a way of demonstrating the liveness of the code. I have taught a few courses using these types of live evaluation plugins and the question students always have next is "How can I draw a line or modify the text in the browser itself?"

There are several live document editing solutions out there and a recent interesting one comes from Gilad Bracha's Newspeak [1] project. His latest live Document [2] demo is quite interesting as you can edit a live document with the web page. You can also execute Newspeak code and use the results to modify the document as well. His ideas are worth a look if this is sort of thing you find interesting.

You are correct. NFTs do not prevent counterfeiting. One could argue that it makes counterfeiting easier due to their open nature.

However, it also makes detecting counterfeits trivial. So trivial that the consumer can detect it using their own devices and freely available wallet software. No need for special skills or trust anchors like appraisers (other than the public blockchain and public standards).

This isn’t a complete solution for scams because most people don’t realize how trivial it is to check before they buy. I believe the remaining problems are in usability and education problem. The tech does lower the barrier to achieving a safer ecosystem.

We could have a healthy debate over whether the tech solved the hard side or the easy side of the problem.

Yup exactly, and the ability to basically be fluent in any language.
With executables you know they have one and only one entry point that conforms to the OS’s process execution conventions, which is a useful property to have be immediately apparent. Libraries can be seen as either a superset (any number of such entry points, most often zero) or as the separate category of binaries having no such entry point.

In the world of client-side rendering, one could ask a somewhat similar question of why HTML and JS files are a different thing, and why you can’t just load a JS file to run your SPA in a browser.
> Does that answer your question?

No it doesn't. Your claim was that NFTs make authenticating art easier. What you wrote has nothing to do with art authentication.

Basically I can take some digital art made by somebody else and be the first to release an NFT of it. What now? How does an NFT help us here?

Ah yes the “work” to travel to a remote part of the country and stand amazed at the concrete erections of this is great man. The work that only few of the inclined can afford. Of course, this installation requires space, and choosing it to be “out there” affords it some additional conceptual credit, but who is this meant to impress except for a certain class of people who have the time and means to do “the work” and actually interpret its profound artistic message? Your comment seems to me to prioritize the artist’s prerogative, and with a $30 million endowment for this installation, I’d say quite a few people agree with you. But shouldn’t we also afford the beholder some respect? I’m quite skeptical of this installation, but I’d go see it if I was ever in Central Eastern Nevada, which I’m guessing, like many people, won’t be any time soon. We shouldn’t discount anyone’s opinion for having not seen it in person because who is it really speaking to in the first place?
Whoops, autocorrect substituted "restive" where I of course meant "restful"!
Ask for permission to take a programming course, with the intention of automating some of the processes of the business. This gets you a credential and credit for the work, plus it's on the up and up.
Well likely, but this title is very strong for whatever arguments that is given. The better question to ask would what is possible with neural network in next 10 years.

Ideally, you could have a Postgres instance specifically dedicated for secrets - I don't see why you should couple sensitive and non-sensitive data. Many OSS services like HashiCorp Vault just do that: you give Vault a backend (which can be a Postgre DB, just like the one Supabase is offering) and it's gonna use that to save the secrets.

You could then use (e.g.) OpenID to connect to the specific instance of Supabase with those secrets from your application

Pretty sure it’s the author of the article wanting Lego to produce and sell it, not the actual engineer who built it.
Yep, I hate Patents, but not because of their core value, but because of their expiration length. They need to have a variable length based on the type of technology, ease of manufacturing or scaling, as well as industry sector.

Designed a novel ordnance for the military? 30 year patent grant. Designed a new ziptie with RFID? 5 years. Patented a rounded corner button on the iPhone? Outright reject with no refunds and a penalty for wasting time.

I do see value of a patent-free society that can produce things fast and cheap, i.e. Shenzhen/Guangdong. I don't know if there is a way to have both systems co-exist in some form of a hybrid society without eliminating free markets.

I also don't get the hate packaged in the form of the term "Capitalism". Usually, they mean "Crony capitalism".
> It's not like Safari are leading with this feature and others are catching up.

You seem to be reacting with some anti-WebKit bias here, didn’t read the article about the history of this feature, or are taking a very odd view of “leading” to avoid giving credit to the WebKit team.

The article gives the history, and links you to it:

- eyeo approached Igalia to sponsor work on has:() in early 2021 (Igalia blogged about it May 2021, after having been working on it for a little while)

- Igalia worked on early prototypes to collect data and write tests to drive the conversation around :has() forward

- the WebKit team at Apple picked it up and started doing the hard work of a real and powerful implementation

- they shipped :has() in Safari Technology Preview 137 in December 2021

- they shipped :has() in Safari 15.4 on March 14, 2022

- Igalia did the engineering work to implement :has() in Chromium, which will ship in Chrome 105 on August 30, 2022

- the Chrome issue for :has(), which was created in May, you’ll see it openly references using WebKit’s work and approach

- other browsers built on Chromium won’t be far behind

- Mozilla is currently working on the Firefox implementation

> It's not like Safari are leading with this feature and others are catching up. Leading is when you implement something and no one else as started.

I think, given the timeline and everyone who is actively involved referencing WebKit with the real-world proven and shipped implementation, it’s exactly like that.

> When multiple browsers are implementing the same standard at the same time and one ships a couple of weeks earlier that's not leading. Leading implies followers.

This isn’t a couple-week lag. WebKit has (and continues to) lag in areas—but :has() isn’t one of them, as WebKit is literally the reference implementation here, was in Tech Preview 8 months ago, and has been released in Safari for 5 months. I think it’s fair and accurate to acknowledge that WebKit :has(followers).
Why do we care about attracting investors?

> explain how the fundamental physics problems can get solved faster.

That's not what I said. For engineering projects, even novel ones, funding leads to faster results. I mean, look at what you can do in WWII when you literally decided that physicists should get so many resources because the A-Bomb was that important.

And if your concern is storing and transmitting energy, there are engineering ways to do that at scale. It's expensive, but doable.

stuff like this really brings us closer to the dream we all had back when we served largely-static content with some scripts thrown in -- of being able to say what we meant in the css and keeping the markup ~semantic~
