> The federal government regulates airspace 500 feet and above the land surface, leaving the states to decide what happens below. Wyoming statute 10-4-302 states that ownership of the space above private land is vested in the owners below, subject to the right of flight.

So if you have a FAA-approved helicopter/giant drone/equivalent and comply with their regulations, you can legally hop from one checkerboard to another, as long as each hop goes above 500 feet? (Assuming that national park regulations allow you to land on the ground with your aircraft, which is sadly probably not the case.)

Sorta, but reverse the outcomes.

Most public beaches in CA have public access now.

In WY (and many western but not coastal states) it looks like the landowners will win. They can afford lengthy civil suits, enough to scare most people off. They can also afford to have laws written in their favor by the legislature.
I did answer it. Look at the question in the topic and my answer.

I don't condone killings of any kind. I'm not saying China is the benevolent. I'm simply describing the current state and giving an example of how bias and propaganda can heavily influence a person's views without the person noticing.

So I guess until Apple came up with this, people living in remote parts of Alaska where pretty much screwed unless they had a satellite phone.

I'm no expert in what living efficiently and safely in such a place is, but I know that in places like Svalvard, you are expected to be 100% independent and responsible for yourself because nobody is coming to your rescue. To the point that you shouldn't go out by yourself if you don't have a rifle that you know how to use, because you could run into polar bears or wolves.

So yeah, I think this guy most definitely could have been better prepared, don't ask me how, it's not the point. Clearly if your only means of survival when something goes wrong is your phone, you are unprepared to live in a place like that.

I think it is failing at reading comprehension because it is putting too much emphasis on 3 events (A, B and C) ordered.

If we rewrite the question to make it very simple to interpret it gets the logic correct:

Imagine a set of 3 ordered events (A, C and B) with unique timestamps each. The ordering is A, C, B. What is a valid bound for Event B's timestamp?

> A valid bound for Event B's timestamp would be a range of values that fall between the timestamp of Event A and the timestamp of Event C. For example, if the timestamp of Event A is 5:00 PM and the timestamp of Event C is 6:00 PM, a valid bound for Event B's timestamp could be 5:15 PM to 5:45 PM.
I agree. Where I grew up local calls were metered. Hence no real BBS culture, and not much in the way of modems.

When I got the Internet at university in 1990, ftp was a revelation. Downloading files from anywhere and everywhere was insanely empowering.

I remember downloading files on hard-drive (MFM) settings to use old hard drives with my salvaged controller cards.

It's hard to convey how "hands on" computing was back then. Lots of jumpers to set, lots of hardware, and software, things to set to make it "work just right". Lots of trial and error, but really cool when it worked!

Now i just buy any old USB thing, plug it it, and off we go. I confess I prefer the present, these days I'm using the computer to do things, not "make the computer actually work."
Being a little bit of a devil's advocate, how do you know you have an understanding of the ideas? How do you know the AI does not? Both of these questions are tough to answer. (I'll put a relevant ChatGPT essay in a subsequent response digging into the philosophy a bit.)

I do think you are on the right track with your criticism however. I agree GPT is not a general intelligence, it is a general pattern matcher. By design it produces flows of text similar to what it was trained on, without regard for how well these correspond to the actual world or even a hypothetical but rule-governed world.

The map is not the territory; GPT deals exclusively with the "map" side.
There’s a joke in the first episode of Silicon Valley where some mundane startup oversells their mission as something about enabling humanity to thrive. I saw an interview with Mike Judge where he said it was just a copy of an actual experience he had where a founder was telling him all these grand visions about how he was going to lift up humanity and Mike thought it was some sort of charity. But when he asked again what the company was, it was a todo app! Mike didn’t name the company, but I Googled the mission statement he mentioned and it was clearly Asana.
Which is the same as DDG uses as a backend by the way.

You remember Reddit got started by faking a user base, right?

Do you honestly still think that anything is ever genuinely "trending" on Twitter? On YouTube? On Reddit?

It's all been fake for years!
I don't think this works very well. I tested with a pretty popular reddit userMrPennywhistle, aka Destin from Smarter every day:

"write a reddit post about monitors in the style of reddit user MrPennywhistle"

and the response it gave me was incredibly generic and didn't sound like Destin at all:

"Hey there fellow Redditors!

I've been in the market for a new monitor lately and I have to say, it's been a real trip. There are so many options out there and it's hard to know what to choose. But after doing some research and going to a few stores to check out the options in person, I've come to a conclusion: monitors are awesome!

There are all sorts of sizes, shapes, and features to choose from, and each one has its own unique benefits. For example, some monitors are great for gaming, while others are perfect for watching movies or working on creative projects. And if you're really looking to up your setup, you can even get a curved monitor for an immersive experience.

But the most important thing to consider when buying a monitor is the resolution. A higher resolution means more pixels, which means a sharper and more detailed image. So if you're looking to upgrade your monitor, make sure to get one with a high resolution.

Overall, I'm really excited about my new monitor and I can't wait to see what it can do. Have any of you guys recently gotten a new monitor? Let me know in the comments!

Absent something more serious, it'll take a long while for the PRC to get hurt in the way you outline, there's just too much it and it's large number of people do compared to much smaller Vietnam with I think on average less human capital, and India and its License Raj and other things that make doing business there very high friction. To the point it can't do a lot of things, even run a semiconductor fab line (except maybe in some government labs).

But the PRC and Vietnam are taking hits I interpret due to the world economy slowing down. And Xi's Zero COVID policy is perhaps becoming unsustainable. It's kinda necessary since it's prevented the population from getting natural immunity and their own vaccines aren't good and aren't trusted, and there's a lot of history behind that. If the CCP just let COVID rip, even less nasty Omicron, it would get very ugly for a while.

But it keeps shutting down huge cities and metro areas and has turned the PRC into an unreliable supplier. See the mess Apple is now in, I read something like 6 million and counting fewer iPhone Pros made at that Foxconn plant that's undergoing so much chaos and lost so many of their more experienced workers (or so I assume about the last point).

The US is in a cold war with the PRC, and that's in the process of shutting down its semiconductor industry, or maybe just the most advanced nodes depending on how the new embargo gets administered. But Apple spent quite some time qualifying what's evidently good enough flash from one of their marque companies and that's now dead since it's advanced enough to be targeted.

Overall, this embargo is a moderate sized dagger aimed at "the workshop of the world" so it's going to have effects, especially when the one year delay foreign companies have in getting licenses ends (then again they'll have plenty of time to get those licenses, or not).

Xi is moving back to not quite doctrine Marxism and the economy, especially the private-ish part of it is taking hits, especially in web/apps stuff, see Jack Ma now living in Japan. That may have been justified on the merits, but it was done because he got a little too big for his britches as the CCP saw it.

In particular I'd look at the residential property market, that's a HUGE bubble that appears to be bursting now. Too many details to go into, just there's reasons it is/was so much of the economy, and not good ones.

And finally Xi is not very smart, had his education brutally ended in middle school by the Cultural Revolution, and is just not a very good helmsman. And is now the single most powerful figure in the PRC since Mao. This is not encouraging.

Write a five paragraph essay on Daniel Dennett's responses to Searle's Chinese room thought experiment.

[GPT (text-davinci-003)]

In his responses to John Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment, philosopher Daniel Dennett offers a defense of strong artificial intelligence (AI). In his argument, Dennett maintains that Searle's experiment does not adequately account for how human beings use language, and that strong AI can potentially be achieved if the right conditions are met.

Dennett's first response to the Chinese Room argument is that language use is not merely an informational process, as Searle suggests. Rather, Dennett argues that language use involves a complex system of meaning and interpretation, and that meaningful language use cannot be reduced to a strictly algorithmic process. For example, Dennett points out that two people may use the same words but interpret them differently, depending on various contextual factors. Thus, the Chinese Room thought experiment fails to account for the complexity of language and its use.

Dennett also challenges the assumption that a computer can never understand language as well as a human being. To this end, he argues that if a computer is given enough data, it can learn to process language in a similar way to humans. This could involve the computer being programmed with a large corpus of data, such as literature, so that it can learn to understand language in context.

Dennett's third point is that the Chinese Room argument neglects the fact that computers can be programmed to interact with their environment. In other words, a computer can be programmed to respond to various external stimuli, just as a human being would. This means that a computer could potentially interact with its environment in a meaningful way, just as a human being can.

Finally, Dennett argues that the Chinese Room argument assumes that a computer must understand language in the same way as a human being, which is an oversimplification of how language works. Rather, he suggests that a computer could potentially understand language in its own way, and be able to process information in a meaningful way.

In sum, Daniel Dennett's responses to Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment offer a defense of strong AI, arguing that computers can potentially be programmed to understand language in a meaningful way. Dennett's argument draws upon various theoretical and practical considerations, and provides an interesting counterpoint to the conventional view that computers can never truly understand language in the same way as a human being.
While I feel like this article is a good assessment of Google's culture, I think it's a bit weird that it ignores the prime reason Google shuts down so many products: if it ain't tied to search/ads, it's hard to argue it will make any significant difference in Google's revenue.

That is, Ad Words and their other search/ad products are so phenomenally successful, basically any other product that is even slightly "niche" will be in the .00...001% impact on revenue. That's why if you look at Google's most successful products besides straight-up search (like GMail, Chrome, Android, YouTube, Maps, etc.) they are somehow tied to viewing more ads that Google serves up. So many of their other products, probably Stadia being the best most recent example, may have great technical execution, but they are just afterthoughts and would probably always be afterthoughts, revenue-wise, compared to Google's ad revenue.

I think the one area that is interesting is Google's enterprise products, particularly GCP and Google Workspace. As others have commented, Google has great technology in these areas but they often just don't understand how to work with businesses in a way that businesses expect.
I wish I could find this again, but I recently saw a photo depicting a cool visualization setup.

It situated a wire sculpture between the observer and a set of old ruins. The wire sculpture was positioned in such a way that it appeared to delimit the bounds of the ruined structure as it would have been original built when the observer was in the correct position. It was, like this, a non-contact way of enhancing an existing artifact.

So 80% of new native code is C/C++. Not surprising and of course Rust advocates will try to defend this as a win.

At my last startup we tested a number of options and decided to go with ClickUp. I personally preferred the philosophy of Linear, but ClickUp can do way more and it’s quite good. Their feature velocity is really impressive too. And we did run into bugs and performance issues, but support was responsive and helpful.
>I've been shocked to see how this mentality is not duplicated in university environments

Why? Maximizing billable hours maximizes the amount of money the law firm as a whole makes, and thus the amount of money law firm leadership makes. Maximizing research output does not maximize revenue for the leadership of the university as much as further bloating the administration does.
I feel that the massive scale of social media created a monster of social impact that human don't fully understand yet. The tremendous broadcasting effect that human had not experienced before needs further scrutiny for its impact positive and negative.
We have been practicing and advocating freedom of expression in the paradigm of news papers and TV, where the publishers are held accountable for editorial accountability. Or in the form of self-expression on the streets, or town square, where the impact of info/rumor/attach is much smaller than the current social media. One entity (a person or a bot) with millions of followers can spread info/rumor/attack.
It seems absurd that such huge scale of spreading information can be without accountability.
It's like that a society has to regulate automobile for its traffic accountability due to its much greater dangers to the society, but few or none for the horse-drawn carriage and the pedestrians.

I think that Twitter or other social media may have tiered censorship based the number of followers to limit it to be the appropriate human-scale of influence

We need to exam these issues in the context of social impact.
The usual reasons, I suppose (speed, portability, ubiquity . . .) Do you mean as opposed to Go?
I would like to take issue with this being a "wrong" version of "the" trolley problem, in my mind the point is to try different variations & to see how they make you feel.

From Wikipedia (emphasis mine):

> The trolley problem is a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number.

Regardless, it illustrates that GPT3 is not "thinking" about the problem, and that variations in the question that shouldn't logically effect the outcome take you to a very different part of latent space, much more profoundly that they would if you were posing the question to a human. It isn't breaking the problem down into logical atoms and subjecting it to analysis, it's making statistical inferences about how conversations work.
Heh, in this specific case, because the username is https://stackoverflow.com/users/20684411/chatgpt with a "sub-heading" of "Using chatGPT to answer SO questions" :-D

Maybe it's because I'm specifically trying to push its buttons, but every answer I get from ChatGPT is super boring, cookie cutter and "politically correct".

OP’s input no longer generate anything useful (it says "I don't have access to specific individuals") and obvious questions like "What can I do in Nana Plaza?" are met with the a generic description of a tourist area in Bangkok, including "shopping for souvenirs" at the street market.

You do not "shop for souvenirs" at Nana Plaza unless that's a euphemism.

I’m doing the same thing I complain about the “emacs is enough, we’ve had this for 30 years” commenters doing... conflating “good enough for me and my nerd friends” with “good enough for anybody” :-P

What I meant was that we finally have cheap/free GUI tools to do the same things, based on open standards with no data lock in.

From that standpoint, proprietary closed systems where your data is trapped, like Notion and Roam, should go extinct.

BUT it is definitely arguable that Notion is still easier and more approachable than Obsidian, and certainly LogSeq.

From that standpoint Notion is still a better tool for a large number of people.

The article doesn't say that the ticketing officer was in the other two groups of officers. So, it's not clear that your assumption is correct.

First, the local game warden arrived with *two sheriff's deputies.*
...
The next day, a *sheriff’s deputy* arrived...
...
Finally, *a third law enforcement officer* arrived with direct
orders to ticket the hunters, not for hunting without
permission, but for criminal trespass.
in private companies this is solved naturally when they go bankrupt or the owner shuts it down.

in the government this is solved when elections change power. (sort of)

in universities... i think they might just be better off having the administrators elected by the... alumni.
> I remember going to some science museum that had a thing you could touch that could be either warm or cool or quickly switching between them, and that last setting felt surprisingly hot. Is that a similar effect?

What you're describing is a variation of the thermal grill illusion -- in short, activating both heat and cold sensory receptors at the same time is perceived as extreme heat. As far as I'm aware, this phenomenon is specific to the temperature sense, and it has nothing to do with "resonance".

It's like with Dalle-2 and StableDiffusion, so many people were just not understanding how it was even possible, some people even going as far as calling it a hoax in some way.

But for anyone paying attention, it's been easy to see the progression. I'm not even an ML person but I could give you a map from every paper to every other paper for how this has all been happening faster and faster, basically starting with AlexNet in 2012.

That said, this chatGPT is different than GPT-3's first demos earlier last year or the Codex interface in that it is implementing a consistent memory and seems to have a token length capability much, much longer than before. This is having a huge effect on what you can coax out of a chat with it. You can tell it to act a certain way and then continuously interact with that entity- with GPT, you got the one prompt, but once you tried again with a new prompt that memory was gone. You could attempt to feed the entire output back in as input, but at least initially the token length would cut things off eventually. Meanwhile, with chatGPT, I just had a 20-minute conversation with a "girl from Reseda, CA' who's a barista and like, totally is going to go on a keto diet like her sister. " because I told it that is who it should act like it is and under all circumstances it should respond to my chat in that way.

BTW she says that "bangs are totally in style right now" and she really likes "exploring new hairstyles like ones from the 90's"

So yeah. This is shaking people up.
If we're counting capacity factor, then the cost of solar and wind increase by ~4x since they have capacity factors of ~25%, which is a lot less than nuclear's typical ~90% capacity factor [1]. Oconee's capacity factor is 81% over its life and 97% in a typical year. It's actually the opposite: focusing on lifetime capacity makes most nuclear plants look worse than in a typical year.

For all their supposed lack of safety, nuclear power - including these early and supposedly unsafe designs - safer than most renewables [2]. There's an immense double standard between renewable safety (nobody seems to care about the tens of thousands of people killed by dams) and nuclear power.
