What will be the societal management of this? Will every single human get issued a unique very long cryptographic ID and every single thing a human does will be recorded with this ID, stored on a blockchain to prevent tampering with it, preventing bots from obtaining valid IDs? Then any questions about the authorship of any media will be answered by a quick lookup, filtering out bots, killing privacy in turn?

Will trusted search results be restricted to before the "botocalypse" and everything afterwards will be discarded?
> To that end, Tesla has mentioned in their presentations that a Tesla Semi convoy of only 3 trucks can be cheaper than a train for the same load.

I can carry it on my magic carpet for even cheaper, trust me I am rich so I wouldn't lie... this time.

Trains have replaceable engines, power-lines - no battery. Trucks will not be cheaper option no matter what mumbo jumbo techno jargon you throw at it. And decades of technological optimizations. And they dont need lithium to be made and maintained.
Fascinating. I can always rely on Microsoft to ruin what good remains in anything.

Friend of mine felt this way when he learned the truth about Santa Claus. No joke.
Sorry but no, this is completely the wrong take. Popular music is less diverse today for the same reason that half the movies released now are Marvel - art is more commoditized, and businesses are more data driven, with the shift towards more public companies also playing a role, as they can't take as many risks as private companies.

What cheap music production tools have done is allow niche subcultures to create music that actually sounds good. Punk, metal and early hip hop all grew from people sharing rare tapes that were poorly produced and sounded like shit, but were a breath of creative fresh air. Now people's unusual creative divergences are stream-able and have production quality close to that of stuff on major labels.
"Makes me uneasy" stands for "makes me want to be careful", and imo this is an essential motif in engineering practice. The key is to remind ourselves that food is engineering, and with inputs and outputs which could have vast ramifications for human health and safety. GMO should be regulated and systematically evaluated by an array of public oversight systems. The concern is that it requires PhD levels of knowledge and scientific mindedness to understand and evaluate GMO in a pragmatic, effective way (that doesn't dive into religious pseudoscience---I'm looking at you DNA-free bottled water). An even huger problem is that understanding this issue in a broad sense requires renaissance person levels of capabilities and personal sensitivity. (Does it matter that food is complex, interesting, driving unique sensory experiences? Let's make it sweet baby, that hits in the taste tests.)

The same is true, perhaps even more so, for our information diet. It defines our reality.
You don’t trust the TSA. But you do trust the other parts of the same government? What can the TSA do with your face that every other part of the government can’t do?

The TSA can already put you on a “no fly list” and detect when you board a commercial airline regardless of whether you give them your photo ID. Do you think they are unable to get your picture from your passport or your RealID enabled driver’s license?

In other words, the only way to get around the TSA is not to fly. The only way to get around the government not being able to use facial recognition is not to have a driver’s license or a passport.

What’s the threat model you believe you are protecting yourself from by having just one part of the federal government not having your photo ID to do facial recognition?
> All foods are GMO

Is there a even a remote chance that say bits of Mammalian dna ends up in a crop via natural selection? The economic issues around GMOs are clear. The biosphere impact is not clear and there are questions: what can happen if we introduce new vectors in ecologies that have evolved over many orders of magnitude longer timelines?

The “unease” comes from the knowledge that in Nature there is always a reaction to an action. And the nature of this natural reaction (which will unfold in time, just like humans picking up agriculture) is not fully understood. It is a reasonable (read: ~substantiated) emotional response, imo.

You can do that now already. Only thing making it not legal is law.

Sure, with paper money you could just take it out of the bank and pay directly but you can do stuff to that too like making it more expensive to take out then track people who just take out big sums of money

Theranos defrauded investors. Lied about their product and NEVER delivered on what was promised.
When I started biking around 4 years ago, I rode my bike for at least two years without a helmet. That would be around 10.000 km without one. I never had an issue. When I started wearing a helmet I started breaking my bones, because I started to do riskier stuff (which was the reason for starting to wear a helmet).

Then I got used to it and bought myself a better one last year, instead of the 20€ one wich I initially had.

But I don't ride my bike in traffic on a street, so those first two years were never really a high-risk scenario.

This is kind of a weird diss against a phone manufacturer that regularly releases OS updates for devices that are over 5 years old. Are there others that even come close? Google abandoned their first-party Pixel 3 about 3-4 years in. I'm not sure Samsung has done any better.
It reflects attitudes towards gender roles developed by white europeans and imported into their colonies, and exported worldwide through western influence. Which is not a bad thing!

These days we tend to talk about race and culture in a weird way, where we ascribe bad things to white Europeans, but pretend like aspects of white European culture we think are good (like attitudes on gender norms or sexuality) transcend culture and are universal truths. In a way, that's more condescending than just saying "Europeans have figured out how to do this particular thing better."

I think it's important to be honest. I'm a Bangladeshi who changes diapers and feeds the baby at night because I was raised around people of European descent. Men in my home country overwhelmingly do not do that.
The jstat output also shows that CCS is at 99.21% usage, which could support this theory.

At a previous company, we operated some Scala services and ran into an issue like this. I forget if it was triggered from a JDK update or a Scala update. Scala (at least the 2.x series) generated a lot of classes, so there was a lot of memory pressure on this part of the system.

IIRC, we increased the limit and it resolved the issue.

I feel like there's a flag you can pass to see JIT invocations, which might also help validate this as the problem. -XX:+PrintCompilation maybe?

Caveats: It's been a long time, so my memory may be faulty, and this may not apply any longer.
The problem with artificial writing is writing alone doesn't accomplish much. Art is the expression itself, so AI art is the final product. But with writing, the goal is to often communicate something novel, in which case the AI wouldn't know, or transact and get something done, in which case the AI won't have the authority or access.

Take customer service chatbots. It really does not matter how "human" the bot is, if it isn't given any power, such as refunding an order. It can't really apologize either, without lying about its lack of empathy, creating a real life turing test between it and the customer.

Of course, businesses justify making refunds hard, so they often will prevent even humans that power, and arm them with templates and legal excuses anyway. Which explains why most customer service is sh*t. They're not there to help you, as much as they are paid to entertain the thought of helping you.

With code, at least the code is itself the end result, like the art. And it can be tested with execution and with unit testing. But most programming is still deciding what to name functions and what functions are needed. The implementation is just the technical task that "anyone" or "anybot" might do. It's the mindless part.

So like AI driving, the last mile of the problem may prove to be close to impossibly hard. Or at least, it isn't an AI problem that can be solved with current AI. It needs another breakthrough. Until then, even AI will continue to rely on human input. The furthest we'll get with AI coders is AI coders taking instructions from a coder, with the end result heavily dependent on what the human adds, not what the AI adds.
If I have to choose between a massive tech corporation being able to know exactly what I do with the car I've bought, as well as the cops begin able to retrieve the same data, and buying a 20+ year old "gas guzzler" that has manual, physical controls, non-subscription-required heated seats, an after-market backup camera...

You bet your bottom dollar I'm going for the "gas guzzler" - I hate these massive corporations more than I love the earth because they're the ones trying to force me into their ecosystem I can't back out of.

Too bad the barrier to entry for car manufacturing is so high due to the tech involved, the "back-door" deals, etc. etc. - I'm sure a cheaper company selling a well made equivalent of the GNU/CAR meme would be popular if marketed correctly.

Gel is probably the way to go.

One usually specifies the stimulation in terms of current (1 mA, for example). You want to deliver that with as little voltage as possible and because V=IR, that means minimizing the electrode resistance.

Minimizing voltage is good because the power delivered is proportional to V², and the power is what makes stimulation uncomfortable by heating/burning the skin (and I guess, the tissue below if you go really crazy). Most commercial systems have a voltage cut-off so they'll deliver (say) up to 2 mA but no more than 12 volts.

The good news is that gel and saline are both very cheap. I bought $50 worth of SIGNAGEL in 2015 and the lab has hardly made a dent in it. Do shop around though, because some "wellness" places mark it way up.

Metal tracks had some advantages, but plastic have, too.

I did exactly this. I'm doing some frontend work where I only have basic knowledge and there was a small feature that was a nice to have. When I originally wrote my own solution, it didn't work. So I took my failed solution and out it into Chat GPT and went back and fourth a few times. It also didn't provide solutions that worked after trying them. So I started asking about alternative solutions and eventually that sparked a new idea I could ask about. That ended up working.

Probably a 5 min conversation with a frontend dev would have gotten me that answer faster, but that isn't something I have access to at the moment. And it was far enough down my priority list that it probably would have stayed unimplemented for a long time. With the back and forth with ChatGPT I got there in maybe 30 minutes of playing around. So a direct solution - for sure not. But better than my alternatives, I think so.
People tend to forget that Ilium (known to most as Troy) was regarded as entirely legendary until the late 19th century. There was no evidence for Troy until there was.

Even so, it is fun to think about such things. The more wild, the better. For example, save some areas earth's crust is largely turned over, which means evidence of civilization on certain land masses would have long been melted down by now.

The only hope for evidence would, in my view, be artifacts in space, assuming those past civilizations were space-faring. Its just fun to speculate, even if it borders on or exceeds the line between science and science fiction.

Antarctica is under thousands of feet of ice. Pulverized evidence of civilization might survive there, just like the petrified remains of 100MM year old trees. Who knows? That's the fun.
Well this only create a market opportunity for a new software, or new software version.

Imho the biggest global challenge is electric supply. And I mean globally, not US + Canada. If we want EV trucks and cars globally we need way more nuclear power than we have right now.

It is all fun and nice to fill USA, Canada and some wealthy countries in Asia, Oceania and Europe with EVs. Will that change a lot in term of climaye change if other countries cannot develop and decent charging network, are struggling already with energy demand or still rely mostly on coal to produce electricity?

GMO's are a completely different thing though. A crop which who's gene's were hand picked by a human to be more drought resistant instead of naturally are completely different conversation and different morality. Vaccines make people uneasy, just like GMO's, but that doesn't mean that unease particularly equivalent to AI or the same moral issues.

AI already is drowning out human made content on websites for creatives. Aided in no small part with their curator's malicious insistence to not label their posts as AI generated. It's only going to get worse as AI art becomes better.

No, again we just discovered it only does well in constrained environments with well defined rules and a lot of data. Either that or something subjective that it can afford a lot of inaccuracy without looking totally stupid. It literally can't generalise to some basic logic problems just like AlphaZero is not going to be cooking your meals anytime soon.

If to you that's ok, fantastic. But to compare what we got so far to something intelligent rather than seeing it as more of a calculator then you are totally misrepresenting it.
People are already appending "reddit" to their search queries to filter out the SEO blogspam clogging up the results of a regular search. Reddit is already superior to base search results for anything that's not plain uncontroversial facts because at least you're getting an actual human's opinion, which you can treat and evaluate as such.

For all its flaws maybe becoming like reddit it what search needs. AI generated spam will likely always be better at gaming a search algorithm than a human. Human moderation has its flaws but at least we're very familiar with them - they might be worth dealing with if it keeps the internet vaguely usable.

OK, you can transport at least a factor of 10x more people with the existing number of cars on the road. People who drive to work and back use their cars for a fraction of time in a day. If those cars were out moving people around the clock, they would add a huge capacity to the taxi fleet.

Now, who pays for the car? The owner. They have paid for it whether it's sitting in the car park or driving people around. The only difference is running cost of the car: electricity and mostly tire wear. That becomes the cost of transporting people with margin added for Tesla and the car owner. That's it!

Now I just realized that perhaps in your hometown, cost of public transport may be so dirt cheap. But where I live, it cost $40 AUD a week to travel 2 stations back and fourth once a day. The same trips over the same period with my car costs me $2.40 AUD in electricity and about $2.80 AUD in tyre wear (assuming $2000 AUD per 25000km which is way too aggressive). That's a total of $5.20 vs $40. Even if you double the cost to account for margin, it's still 4 times less expensive than public transport.

EDIT: even if it's exactly the same as public transport, it'll still be the preferably mode of transport, because it's door to door and you don't have to deal with anyone. Imagine someone who's happy to share with one other person, now you have bonker economics.
Perfect. The philosopher turkey views the past as causing the future while in fact the farmer’s future meal caused the turkey’s past experiences. A great example of how serious an error rejecting reverse causality can be.
Yeah that makes sense, I'm just saying that if you didn't have 10 years of experience, you might not know how to guide it and might not notice when it doesn't seem quite right, and end up learning a lot less than you could.

It's a little bit like "you won't always have a calculator in your pocket". We do always have a calculator these days, but it's still useful to know how to do arithmetic so you can do things in your head, and notice if an answer doesn't make sense because you made a typo or something. Maybe in the future we'll all have chatGPT running locally on our phones or brain interfaces or whatever and be able to quickly train it on new datasets, but even then it will still be useful to know how to do things yourself.
Until the "AI Slave" is able to formally identify that it has produced a correct solution, which requires the ability to identify and correct non-trivial mistakes including at the "conceptual" level, and probably to provide the "rationale" for its "thinking", it is unlikely to affect this particular area too much.
