> Reuters identified four experiments involving 86 pigs and two monkeys that were marred in recent years by human errors.

and

> The mistakes leading to unnecessary animal deaths included one instance in 2021 when 25 out of 60 pigs in a study had devices that were the wrong size implanted in their heads

My figure added up the wrong events here, but the 86 pigs and 2 monkeys is the better figure anyway.

And it's not that it would confuse the FDA, if you implant the wrong device it reduces the information you get from the experiment as it is not exactly comparable to your other experiments. The article clearly states that they implanted the wrong size, so they made a mistake somewhere.
all AI art is confined to digital medium (at least for now, 3D printing might change that). You can't see the brushstrokes like in a real life, physical painting. Dancing is one that will be very hard to copy, because you need actual humans for it.

Not to mention, the kid may enjoy making art, and his/her art may give others joy, even if it's not a profitable career. It can still be a fun hobby - synthesizers have been around for nearly half a century now, but people still play guitar :)
I would love to know who in power knew what, and who looked the other way. It reeks of corruption.

Rep Tom Emmer was one of the original "Blockchain 8" who asked the SEC to back off of asking tough questions in the crypto space. [1] Of note, 5 of them received direct campaign donations from FTX.

Now Emmer recently is on the record saying the FTX debacle isn't really FTX's fault, it's the SECs fault for letting this happen. [2]

In his own words here. [3] You can't make this stuff up.

Switch to text. The remaining audio comms which will be the ones that actually _need_ to run over audio will turn sublime.

Wow, this is all I ever wanted. The only thing that's maybe missing is a natural way to do captions for images and tables, and a syntax for spoilers. But these can probably be built on top of the div and span syntax.
Anecdotally, watching porn increases my desire (and resulting frequency) for sex with my partner pretty substantially with no resulting ED issues.

But I'm pretty healthy. I lift, I do HIIT, I do long slow distance etc. throughout the week and I eat very clean by most people's standards.
To be removed, a CA just needs to show it is not worthy of trust.

TrustCor met this requirement and got removed.

Other CAs removed in the past also showed they are unworthy of trust, but in even more blatant ways.
I love fantasy too! Do you know if any games that are like RimWorld but fantasy? I saw Amazing Cultivation Simulation but you need a master's degree to play that, at least that's how it felt to me...
I love the fact that people still unironically use the term "welfare trap", while we can see massive numbers of homeless and home insecure people all over America. People actually believing the bad faith constructed arguments of those with massive amounts of wealth and power actually make me believe America deserves to keep licking the boots of the 1% like dogs until we all die.
Have you tried it?

Last night I prompted it with a sample data file and it normalized it into a star schema and output the DDL for a theoretical data warehouse. I then was able to ask it questions about specific design choices.

In comparison to that, sounds like you are mindlessly complaining about something you’d rather not understand.
Wait, men can have terms?
Regulated how, and to what end exactly?

Porn, especially the industry, is already regulated in many ways.
I dunno.

The only thing convincing that I could find was that a single high doses of Vitamin D had no effect on outcome. No other studies seemed conclusive.
No, that's just not how they technically work. AI generators train on an image archive, but the resulting model doesn't include the actual pictures in it, and often contains only a tiny influence from each source image.

I think the current popular model works out to somewhere around a byte in the model per sample image.

Here's a diagram https://www.reddit.com/user/AnOnlineHandle made: https://i.redd.it/yxflzg0z6p3a1.png
This seems implausibly high excluding college and daycare costs, and maybe implausibly low including them.
Well I work for a small government and my responsibilities tend to be a little less structured or more fluid in nature. I have to adapt at times and crunch code just as much as I scope requirements and write technical documents.

Meetings here and there, lot's of talking to people and lots of reading. Currently I'm working on a digital transformation strategy and I can definitely see myself writing a whole lot in the next few months to gather traction on the implementations that are needed.

I would say that at least for me, becoming a Software Architect has meant that I need to split my time between groundwork and strategising with an added layer of complexity that stems from the fact that I work for government, so there are a number of policies and internal bureaucratic barriers to get used to.
On your last paragraph that's how human raised kids for the first 10k+ years. In small groups of multigenerational settings.

Only in the last 100 (maybe even less, say 60) or so years we've started to say fk that, when I retire I want to be on a beach and not taking care of my grandkids.
Even as higher income people become more geographically distributed, they'll naturally support locavore options, cultural event spaces, an so on, in smaller town centers.

I do wish there were more resources to help places experiencing rapid influx manage growth more intelligently. Towns shouldn't have to endure a big box store phase before investing in livable forms.

It can work rather poorly in software from a quality perspective too, but in software the game is often to test a business hypothesis very quickly or ship features fast enough to win feature bingo with competitors and quality often goes on the back burner.

It's just that in health care the bar for MVP is way way higher.
I don't see that this refutes my point. You've posted something that looks correct and that someone that doesn't know better would think is correct but has a high probability of being incorrect. I do not view that as useful.

Edit: HN isn't going to let me respond any further. I'm not talking about ML not being useful. That comment was specific to ChatGPT. The hype is always centered on solving hard problems like vehicles that can drive themselves in arbitrary conditions.
Sure, you don't need a blockchain to sign something, but using a blockchain means that the signature is timestamped in an incontestable way, massively replicated and made globally retrievable. It also helps mitigate the possibility that the content will be deleted or suppressed.
In the case of AI writing and art it seems to be exclusively tech people interested in it. Chat bots have existed in some form for decades so normal people are not impressed, and those interested in writing or art strongly dislike it for several reasons.
I believe that the job description differs a lot from company to company.

From my experience, the best architects spent most of their time focusing on these things:

1. Always understand what the current business priorities are.
2. Design the overall system architecture so it covers all of the business needs, and nothing more. Always focus on keeping it as simple as possible. Even when people argue "lets do this some other way, because we might need it in the future".
3. Fight the urge to use "latest and coolest" technology. Don't listen to consultants selling you unnecessary tech. Stick to what works. Even when it's boring. Explain it properly to your team.
4. Maintain proper documentation. Focus on making it as simple as possible, easy to adjust and up to date. Otherwise its value will be close to 0.
5. Use UML diagrams. Think about where the complexity of the given system is, and use only the most relevant ones. For example, if the complexity lies in complex workflows, use sequence diagrams or state diagrams. If the complexity lies in complex datamodel, use ERD diagrams.

But more often than not, architects also have to focus on other things, mostly related to DevOps, Platform Engineering and overall developer workflows.

[shameless plug] That's one of the reasons I founded https://stacktape.com - AWS-focused "internal developer platform" that allows developers to do this sort of stuff on their own, without involvment of architects, DevOps or others.
Congratulate me when it finally works out!

I’m still in stealth mode. My startup is super simple in concept - I gather a particular type of data, clean it, process it, and serve it to subscribers.
Some of my data sources are free, some are paid API’s.

All the processing is done in code. You would need an army of people to read all that text, a layer of bureaucracy to manage and check them.
I dislike the notion that some individuals are off the scale on cleverness.

It's easy enough to arrive at the conclusion that a person who is dimmer than us is cognitively challenged; it's much harder to assess the smarts of someone who is smarter than us. Is he 1% smarter than me? 10% smarter? Hell, 100% smarter? All I know is that he understands stuff that I don't, and solves crosswords faster. But I don't believe that anyone is so much smarter than the average that they need to be paid 100x what I could earn.

So you agree we need a wealth tax that applies to billionaires?
I think this is a pretty big logical fallacy. There are TONS of people right now, today, who never need to work another day in their life and could live in a cozy dry home with plenty of food and decent healthcare - even in the US. Not just Jeff B & Elon, but plenty of well-off 50 year olds who _could_ retire, but would much rather keep working for a while longer so that their retirement involves trips to europe and fun boats instead of a modest home and little travel.

Lots of people love their jobs, and love the things they can afford because they work harder than they strictly need to (me too! I definitely don't _need_ a nice espresso machine). Lots of start-up founders get into it because they genuinely want to make the world a better place, and the thought that they might be taking the blade from LGA and cruising around on a huge boat I'm sure doesn't hurt their desire to do the insanely hard work of starting a company.

My personal hot take is that capitalism's emphasis on coercion (you only get healthcare if you work, we sometimes worry that our biggest problem is $15/hour workers slacking off) blinds us to the fact that lots of (most?) us really enjoy our work and love having something to do all day that feels useful.
IMO the correct solution would be one based on DNS. (E.g. DNSSEC+DANE or something similar.) Right now (unless we bring back extended validation) the entire purpose of certs on the web is to tell browsers what private key is associated with a domain. It's silly to involve completely unrelated third parties in that process when you could just get the information from the authoritative source (DNS) directly.

What is the longest and (large enough) volume water piping system in the world? From my recollection its not long enough to significantly make inroads to another state.

edit: I think I might be wrong, looks like China has done significant waterworks across their country.
They said that many of their coworkers that had children seem like shells of their former selves. Not all of them, and not by definition.

You are saying that anyone that doesn't have children automatically empty and sad.

- One of the statements is "in the people I've seen do x, an outcome of y seems common".

- The other is "in any person that does x, y is true"

Those are not the same thing.
Strange. How did anybody live there before 2015?
I agree regulations is good and I am for it. However, all of your comments are just pointing a finger at cryptocurrency as the cause of the issues here when it's not. Your arguments might be valid in other discussions, but your premise is misinformed.

The FTX fallout wasn't not a result of the asset class in question. It was much more than that. Even IF crypto had regulations, it wouldn't have been able to prevent the blatant fraud and criminal activities that happened in FTX. I would really suggest you to read more about it first.

You can learn about it in this video here which covers the key points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3HfrRjWilQ

Here is another commenter who also talks about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33879829
The argument he is arguing against is that the workers create the wealth, and profit is that unpaid surplus labor time that the LPs/VCs/founders expropriate from the workers creating wealth. You can't "share" profits with workers when workers are creating all the wealth, the LPs/VCs etc. expropriate profits from workers.
Definitely nothing against what Lexx said. I did want to call out that most architects over-complicate in my experience. What we do just isn't as profound as people make it out to be unless you are genuinely working on some latest ML for billions of revenue or stabilizing SpaceX's landing thrusters, sequencing DNA, etc.
> Nobody ever seems to mention how much founders get to stand on the heads of engineers and scientists who were paid with tax dollars.

Not that anyone listens to him, but Noam Chomsky has been saying this for his whole career.

You said "I go downstairs to smoke" and now you say "for an hour or so". I don't know your smoking habits, but isn't this a little unusual?

I don't think I've ever been in a "pitch black" hotel room. I'd bet there was light enough for him to start seeing just fine after five minutes.

I don't understand how that's relevant to the neuralink story. Yes there are people who will benefit from being able to communicate via brain activity instead of their meat. But I'm not sure how that's curing a deadly disease?
In two weeks Elon will declare that there are 0 real users and that everyone is a ChatGPT bot. Oh wait, he's already said that
Apart from attitudes, I think Rust targets a very different market.

Haskell is in the very crowded market for managed languages and even though it is better in some respects it is worse in others, particularly in the scope of libraries and frameworks available. Every new programming language claims to be more productive, less buggy, etc.

Rust is trying to take down C and that’s a much more unique niche. In places where Rust is awkward, Rust is giving you a unique benefit in terms of performance characteristics and suitability for systems work. When Haskell is awkward it is just awkward.
This is an important part of DMCA (512) as Youtube could also implement an automatic system for getting its costs of investigation and the costs of the creators defence by default. Its only implemented some of the system and it just needs the other half. The law itself is unbalanced however, there needed to be many more consequences for false claims and the costs they incur.

I don't like it, but does it matter at all compared to the meat industry?

Just by the scale of things I think I'm not doing whataboutism here if I say that :)
RimWorld has tons of interesting features, it's a game I really want to love. But their much-hyped "story generator" is really just a very basic random event system, without even much variety to pad it out. The only "AI" thing it does is take into account the status of your colony (wealth, etc).

It's frustrating because it's the system which really drives the whole game, and it's so simple, and so arbitrary. Without Dwarf Fortress' depth of simulation, it needs some stronger glue to tie the game together.
I believe what they are saying that the US is less likely to risk war with China to protect Taiwan if they can get chips sources domestically.
I’m not an architect, but used to closely work with one and it was a pleasure.

The key role that our architect played that brought immense value to us was being the integrator of teams. Teams had a high level of autonomy when it comes to implementation details which meant there could easily be “reinventions”, incompatibilities, and even narrow minded choices. Our Architect always had the big picture view across teams, almost always sat in our feature grooming sessions with valuable inputs, worked closely with product owners who bring in feature requests that may need integration of multiple services etc.

Above all, he was very active, and approachable to all teams instead of hiding behind barriers and occasionally bringing out UML diagrams. Several times, when we were debating which technical choice to make, held chime in with valuable points about what would be better if we were to integrate with another service, or something like “that team did this because blah, which might be relevant to you”.
There is no difference when the end result is destroying people's trust in elections. You are clearly biased.

Maybe you should look into how the US meddles in foreign elections. It is something countries do to each other. Russia has always done that and so have we. There was nothing special about 2016. These complaints about CA are the left's equivalent of when the right says there is mass voter fraud because of one or two minor instances of election fraud.
Europe arguably has better public transportation and shorter commutes. I am still seeing this happening (don't have any data to back my claim, just my experience). If I have to guess here is more about the housing cost being the issue. Buying is prohibitive given the average income and most new units are only for rent. In the last 6 years I spent more than 140k CHF in rent (close to Zurich).

Once remote working has started we said screw that and moved further away from downtown. Now we own a nice apartment with a garden (unthinkable before) and go the city only when required.
It makes the powerful people he colluded with, his parents and their network, and powerful politicos like Waters, appear less culpable.

He is making sure that he doesn’t appear smart enough to have the capacity to collude though clearly if you follow the money trail that’s exactly what happened. He is making himself to be the scapegoat by playing the fool.

Just like Bernie Made-off, he isn’t an island of culpability as is being conveniently portrayed. He was surrounded by various people who can be documented to have benefitted in the millions of dollars and will magically, by slight of hand, walk away from the whole thing scot free.

He is the opposite of stupid. He’s playing the fool to help the politically powerful patrons he served. That’s effective “altruism” for sure.

Judging from the outside it feels like you are falling into the "build and they will come" trap.

To me, the hard problem is producing code snippets that are correct. This would be an example of something that's useful (unlike ChatGPT) and kind of cool but it still doesn't solve the hard problem.
Improved medical diagnoses are useful.

Cars that drive themselves are useful.

Improved inventory tracking is useful.

Improved fraud detection is useful.

Those are a very very minor subset of the vast array of real-world AI use cases.

Edit to respond to your edit :)

Yes ChatGPT is surely overhyped, same as GANs were five years ago, but these things have a whole ton of co-incidencing real-world applications that aren't hyped which we don't see as much. For example facial recognition is so good now that governments are performing mass surveillance with it. Now I admit, this is not in anyone here's opinion a good change. But it is a very real very existing phenomena.

BTW - hope my comment did not come across too confrontational. Just need to defend my AI colleagues ;)

---

Edit to add one more tangental thought that crossed my mind

There's a temptation amongst skeptics to say that technology never lives up to the hype - we were told in the 70s robots would replace us, etc.,

But I think the reason we feel like it never lives up to the hype is because there is a moving target effect taking place. The present will never feel "sci-fi" because as soon as technology comes, the "sci-fi" target moves ahead.

But when you look objectively at the technology around us, there are so many absolutely incredible developments in the last 10-20 years. They just have become normalised.

I'm not sure I'd hang my hat on a particular current inability of AI, particularly inabilities where there's no obvious impediment to AI doing it. You're just begging for AI to eventually gain that ability, and now you're back where you started. Hooking AI up to physical actuators and getting it to work properly strikes me as a "this will 100% happen, I guarantee this is already being worked on" situation; basing your self-worth off the inability of AI to do those things seems like a ticking time bomb.
Yes - pre-pandemic, white-collar office parks and big-box retail had already dispersed to the suburbs where I live (Baltimore).

Honestly, remote work allowed us to stay in the city (our preference), if I'd had to keep commuting I don't know if raising my kid would have been workable for us.
