My personal thoughts about AGI is that we’ll never “achieve” it for pretty much the same reasons you, and philosophers for hundreds, if not thousands, of years have said. We can’t even be sure that anyone else is conscious and intelligent, or just a clever facsimile.

As AI (in the broadest sense) has developed, we always end up moving the goal posts. Sometimes this is because we genuinely don’t know what is difficult and what is easy due to several billion years of evolution. But some of this is because we know how the system works, and so it can’t be “intelligence”.

I think of it as like a magic trick. When you watch a someone do an illusion well, it’s amazing. They made the coin disappear. It’s real magic! But then you find out all they did was stick in their pocket, or used a piece of elastic, and then “magic” is gone.

Essentially this is partially what the Chinese Room is about. You think the Chinese speaker is real, but then you find out it’s just some schlub executing finite state machine.
I'll be shopping for a new big TV in the near future, and I am an HP TouchPad owner as well.

How difficult has nerfing the ads been on a WebOS TV? That is the only thing keeping me away from an LG -- I want a TV which I don't have to fight.
wow, this is a nice idea and definitely see some use cases.
While ironically barreling towards many of us at high speed. White collar tech workers are likely to face the worst of the layoffs in this round of economic troubles.
I got obsessed with this paper recently, to the point where I have read most of the "Unknown Air Force Document" that Thompson references with giving him the idea of Trojan horse. The document was later identified and is declassified and publicly available [1].

> If one reads the original paper, one only finds a description of this attack as a thought experiment, leading one to conclude that any claim of a real-world attack by Thompson was an urban myth due to exaggeration.

This is true although Thompson gives some tantalizing hints in the paper.

In the introduction, he writes " I would like to present to you the cutest program I ever wrote." So he definitely wrote it and at least played around with it.

Later on in the "Moral" section, he writes "The moral is obvious. You can't trust code that you did not totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ people like me.)"

This appears to be an admission but not quite strong or direct enough to validate he implemented and used the Trojan horse so it is great to read this post.

Another unusual alternative is to model your test running _as_ a Docker build. It's what I ended up doing in Trellis, which supports Depot as a runner (https://github.com/charliermarsh/trellis): running the linter check is modeled as "build the image, then add a `cargo clippy` RUN command as the last layer".
I think its more about not having customers ask why we don't have the badge. We primarily have business users so trust is super important.
I learned this with my router. I updated the firmware thinking it was the smart thing to do, security fixed and all that, but instead I was greeted with ads for their other products and them wanted to shove their stupid phone app in my face to interact with the router.
I then installed OpenWRT and said nuts to using proprietary router firmware.
Seriously? A citation that evangelical groups do charitable missions, which is common knowledge? Or a citation that the OP participated, which is unreasonable of you to ask?
There's a single ad on the home page for me.

It is a marketing strategy. I guess.

Can we have a filter box for the left menu on the site. And maybe a section about what is included in “your” enterprise agreement. Without billing access.
It's pretty easy actually! Take a look at this page for just a button component: https://i.imgur.com/TodWS0r.png

It has 1.3k layers, and this is for one component. Most design systems have around 50 components, many more complex than just a button. This is from the Ant Design System: https://www.figma.com/community/file/831698976089873405

Another way to think of it that may help put it into perspective for devs, think of the number of html elements in your average storybook page. Atlassian's page for their button has around 2k html elements to display all the variants and documentation: https://atlassian.design/components/button/examples. A Figma file represents all of the components in the same file, which quickly leads to an explosion of layering. Performance becomes a concern VERY quick.

It reeks of “product management”. It’s getting managed out of relevancy.
How does it know where to send it? Does it just assume it should use the contents of the Host header and send the request there or is the "url" in your path the destination? Does it support things like SNI?[1] Can you spoof that? Does it expect clients to parse out the raw output of the HTTP response? I have so many questions. From a quick glance this seems a lot harder to work with than curl for both trivial and non-trivial uses.

I tried to find docs on it, but couldn't. If you could link me to some, I'd appreciate it.

[1] After posting this I remember like a doofus this is an OS from the 90s. Of course it doesn't. But a similar question could be asked about any other TLS level setting. That's just one I've had to spend more time debugging using curl in the past.
is the only reason for this wondering the fact Kotlin was made by czech developers?
It would be quite easy for Coq or Isabelle to express the logic in a TLA spec, you're basically just adding a few modalities (time, state, non-determinism) over plain old boolean logic. Then you're free to use any of a number of tools (usually SAT/SMT solvers) to try and find a refutation of your spec. There really isn't a lot of complex math involved.
The cost of everything tech is grossly inflated. Look at Amazon, they make an absolute killing with AWS. It's just fat margins all over. Google and MS price competitively with AWS and happily make a killing too.

Sooner or later though, someone is going to come along and say "You know, I'd be fine with a 5% profit margin" and the house of cards will fall while the tech bros cry "value" the whole way down. You could trick yourself into thinking a sharpie is worth $40/mo if you drink enough of the "value" coolaid.
Interesting. After having ran into an issue with having background jobs on Next.js apps that aren't just the frontend but utilizing the API aspect too, I ended up implementing a similar setup utilizing a queue service and a wrapper that allows me to "dispatch" a job anywhere in my app, that dispatched job has all the meta data needed, store it in redis like any other queue service built on redis does, but instead of a worker pulling from a queue bucket in the queue system and running it in a handler in the worker, the worker just pulls from the queue based on the job settings and essentially does a fetch call to an API endpoint to process that job.
I genuinely think stable diffusion is better than dalle. There’s a really obvious ugly artifact on almost all the dalle image’s I’ve seen that SD doesnt suffer from.

But anyway, SD is far superior even if you consider dalle better per image since you can create 1000 SD outputs and just pick the one you like best (which for sure will have one that’s better than the dalle output you got)
My friend created something like this at kodou.io.
> Because the inferences and reasoning GPT3 is already capable of is incredible and beats most expert systems that I know of.

This is patently FALSE. You can, however, re-run a given prompt 10+ times, tweaking and nudging it into the direction you know you want, until it produces a seemingly miraculously deep result (by pure chance).

Rinse and repeat a dozen times and you have enough material for a twitter thread or medium post fawning over gpt-3.
It's pretty annoying too that you spend $3k, and Samsung got probably all of $150 to serve ads to you in perpetuity.
That is not collusion, that is just a market where supply of labor drastically outnumbers demand for labor. Indicating to suppliers of labor to supply their labor to different buyers.
So what is a ‘layer’? Just any path at all? I think people thought you mean filter or effect layers, so thought a simple button gradient or something was being built up from like 250k transformations.
Hmm..I would have more sympathy if the article didn't include an advert to buy an AppleTV "ZDNet Recommends: Apple TV 4K" - $179 at Apple
GOG has removed some games from the shop - an infamous case being the three Fallout "Classic" games upon release of new and inferior versions by Bethesda.

However at least in this instance the games are still in my library years after.

Of note Steam despite its reputation has done the same with LOTR War In The North and Hentai Loli vs Pedobear (don't ask, it was a gift by a deranged friend I swear ;))
Kagi search? It said something like after I exceeded my daily search limit in the trials: "Go search somewhere else". I mean, who are these snotty kids, that have the audacity to talk down on people? Not gonna spend my money there for sure.

Kagi is good, but get a proper PR person and don't let imbeciles ruin the experience.
Sony TVs are better.
The fun trade-off to the simplicity of the electric drivetrain is that the drivetrain is now almost entirely software defined. In an ICE your torque is a factor of a lot of physics: the physics of the motor, the fuel injector, the gear ratios in the transmission, and so on and so forth. With an EV motor it in theory has 100% torque physically available at all times, if you've got the power stored in your battery for that. You don't actually want to drive that way, though, because that can waste a lot of power, that can be dangerous, and that can cause damage (to tires, if nothing else).

The curves of how much power the car applies to an EV motor become software: everything about the "feel" of the acceleration pedal and even some of the "feel" of the brake pedal (because of regenerative braking) are software-defined curves. That's why EVs often give you multiple "Driving Modes" to explore to find the driving curve that feels the most fun for you to drive, or gives you the most ludicrous performance, or saves you the most battery power, or lets you do everything with a single pedal.

Some of that is that people are just so use to driving ICE vehicles that manufacturers feel the need to make EVs drive like ICE vehicles for comfort and familiarity, even though they don't have to (there's no transmission gears to physically shift).

Modern EVs are software-defined cars.
It might be supported but non obvious, some TVs only support 4k60 through one of the HDMI ports.

It could also be a cable issue, although I believe the option usually shows up on cables that dont support it and only fails once you try to switch.
The 'switch to firefox' meme-storm and the still-horrible bugginess of mv3 made this inevitable.
Or each simulated UI interaction.. amounts to much more layers (imagine a 10k long feature list).
The problem is that we're at a point in the evolution of TVs where robust support for HDMI-CEC (especially in combination with ARC/eARC) isn't guaranteed; but might be something you can get later through a firmware update.

When you finally decide to shell out for a sound bar, and after hooking it up, your TV now suddenly takes 30 seconds to flicker to life from sleep, you'll really want that firmware update.

(It's similar to where we were ~5 years ago with motherboards and NVMe boot support. The motherboard had the M.2 socket; but whether the NVMe device showed up in the boot options was up to chance. Often it'd only work in legacy mode but not UEFI mode. But, after a few-months-later motherboard firmware update, things would begin to work the way you'd expect.)
So the value the sales people provided was successfully bribing the executives.

You're not exactly wrong here, but many that's a kinda hilarious example. AI doesn't yet know how to operate in the grey area of not-quite-illegal bribery.
Won't it need the egress to receive streaming video from the internet?
Don't think of it as 250k layers for a single image. Modern design tools represent many artboards at once on the same page, i.e. https://i.imgur.com/wvWSv4F.png from https://www.figma.com/community/file/1154649549752855805

You're often representing every page on a site, or every component in a design system in the same file. A way to think about it is "If you counted every div on every page of Reddit, how many would there be?". Most modern sites will have around the same order of magnitude of html elements.
How is it worse?
Old enough to remember when Marcus was picking out-of-scope fights with parallel distributed processing models and scholars. On the one hand, he’s right, symbol manipulation is different in kind, not degree. On the other, we’ve known that since the dawn of neural networks. To claim credit for theoretical gaps that others try to fill in practice seems petty and myopic.
Nobody deserves that, you awful awful person. ;)

Samsung (Dacor) discloses this behavior in their fridge manual; it says it will mesh with Samsung TVs to better target ads.

I’m not about to buy a Samsung set to find out what it actually does in practice. The fridge has deep learning object classifiers and internal cameras; I assume that is a big part of its ad targeting capability.

Note that the fridge has demand response / energy use time shifting features that don’t work unless it is connected to the internet.
Surprised Kenji didn't use Opals.
They're a hybrid between Golden Delicious and Topaz, with better crispness, sweetness and flavor.
They also don't brown, but that's due to lower enzymes, not acidity.

Honeycrisp/Cosmic Crisp would also be a good choice.

Well, they must not actually be doing that on cheap switches, they fail probably 10x as much as anything except maybe power supply equipment and connectors.

Mechanical keyswitches have some pretty amazing reliability though.

I actually like the touchscreen everything movement in most applications, partly because of this. A screen may be expensive, but good switches might be just as expensive.
I suppose it's a good question, but I'd also ask people to justify why they think it isn't private.

Really though, I haven't thought about this question much. I'll give it a shot:

I were going on a first date, and the woman asked me as getting-to-know-you small-talk, "What is your annual salary?" I would find this off-putting. Same if I were meeting her parents sometime later and they asked me. I'd find it strange if a neighbor asked me, or if a used car salesman asked me, etc. My default assumption, if someone asks me my salary, is to think about for what purpose would they want to know this information, as the knowledge of my salary would imply they intend to treat me differently based on my response. (So in the case of a first date, I could say a number where she responds, "That's not enough for me!" and gets up to leave. Or for a car salesman, he might say, "Oh, well, this car is usually $15,000, but for you it is $16,000.")

The only cases where I find this to be a reasonable request is when I'm applying for a loan or credit, as I think it's fair for underwriters to want to be able to calculate whether or not they think I'm good to pay them back (and, on my end, I'm expecting to receive temporarily-free money from them, so the transaction is not one-sided).

Now, I don't think that's automatically the case with a law like this, but I don't think it's not the case either!

So I have a continued expectation that my salary is Nunya. Unless someone can pose a convincing argument that it ought not be private, or if such a law would also prohibit my employer or others treating me differently with the knowledge of my salary, I will not support laws like these.
I agree. I use many different Discourse forums, and this one annoying to scroll through the list of latest topics because of that.
What makes me think this will never happen is that

- Open Wi-Fi networks are a thing of the past. There hasn't been any around me in a residential area for a long time now. Businesses and workplace lobbies, more likely, though.

- No one is going to just give Samsung free Internet except the hapless consumer by supplying Wi-Fi credentials.

- Samsung might make a deal with providers, but it would have to have unique credentials embedded in its OS and firmware, and I doubt Samsung has the ability to keep that totally secure.

Think about it. If you could get free, anonymous Internet with credentials in a Samsung TV, crackers would be all over that - they'd be searching every crook and nanny for exploits, desoldering NAND and sniffing busses for encryption keys, connecting with Chinese friends to get original datasheets, etc.

Even if Samsung embedded an LTE/5G SIM, eSIM, whatever, it would be hacked to bits. "Get model X of samsung TV, get free Internet with this Linux application". It's not realistic for there to be a network connection that you don't know about, pay for, and have your name attached to.

Of course the p2p network interface that shows up on the Netflix diagnostic screen is concerning, though.

Now if cellular providers start selling TVs, such as AT&T, Verizon, etc. bundling Internet with them, then it can happen.
Yeah, no.

Too late and stable diffusion works on my machine, I don't have to depend on anyone else to use it unlike this.
From an EU perspective why would peace and trade with Russia be so bad?

Clearly US psyops are stronger than anything Russia puts out because EU governments have been persuaded to participate in a crusade in Ukraine against their own economic self interests.

Making the EU kowtow to America may be in American interests but it certainly is not in EU interests.

I am not sure when this myth of Russia psyop dominance came from. Only seemed to become a thing after Hillary lost the election and Brexit. More likely source of blame for that falls on endogenous populism in reaction to economic and social changes in the last decade or two. Russia was not responsible for bailing out western banks while real wages stagnated and also was not responsible for widespread immigration and others consequences of globalisation and conflict in the middle east and Africa.

Reality does not correspond to the social media mythology that Russia has some how infiltrated western politics at a significant scale.

> What am I to learn from this if I get offered the mid point, but almost everyone else is earning the max limit? Pay ranges are useless without seeing the distribution.

You learn not to apply to jobs with low minimum ranges, and high school students learn not to study fuels with low minimum and low high ranges.

The law is not for you, specifically to help you negotiate maximum pay from one job. For that, you need to go out and sell your labor to multiple parties and have them bid against each other.
Exactly. Private salaries only benefit employers.
I don't do that at all these days. It's almost a guarantee that I'll eventually use the big complex thing, so I rarely even consider trying anything else if it's a project that actually matters.

I don't necessarily doubt you but can you give me an example of an expert system that is more capable ?
I unfortunately lack the imagination to think of similar initiatives that could be addressed in such a fashion.
Not the person you are asking, but I got some leftover computer parts that I had been amassing for years, bought a few drives and added TrueNAS to it.

It can do anything the big consumer NAS can, and a lot more. If it fails, it uses off the shelf components.

The only thing that could have been done better is ECC memory (for some people that's a dealbreaker). In which case, one can get a server from ebay for a pittance which will fit the bill.
I've started buying physical copies again of great movies. We still subscribe to streaming for the middling stuff, but if it's standout or niche (which is rare) then having a hard copy is worth it as the various platforms will often not have it available.

IBM is a place where people go and rot in a cubicle for 40 years and then retire. Fiefdoms are a natural consequences. Companies like DocuSign have turnover and growth such that it becomes somewhat more difficult to build fiefdoms.
Meanwhile I learned about SQL, statistics, product development, industry best practices, algorithms both optimal existing ones and designing new ones, data structures both how to make one and what makes good ones, and how operating systems are designed and function. Specifically, I wasn't just shown a vague example in a twenty minute youtube video, I was made to demonstrate my knowledge in projects and tests that were designed by an intelligent domain expert and educator to separate the wheat from the chaff and often did just that.

I use most of that every single day, and I'm basically a web app developer. Can you learn how to program from learning yourself? Sure. Einstein taught himself calculus, but that doesn't mean most people can adequately teach themselves difficult subjects.

Writing a for loop might not be a difficult subject, but understanding what makes a for loop slower than another method, or why maybe you don't need to loop at all if you engineer things differently is an entirely different thing.
Best way to think of a layer is as an html element (or in Penpot's case, it's exactly that).
