> You posted "No answers for me? Just what I thought." with the specific intent of annoying people into replying.

I'll agree to disagree on that, the reason is that folk blindly down-vote. It's infuriating. If I hold opinion A which is incorrect, when opinion B could be correct, I then wouldn't get possibly a corrected perspective. At least it sparks a reaction and sights conversation, regardless if annoyance. It allows myself to express how I feel and why I feel. Rather than the hive-mind mentality that if everyone is doing it, its the right think.

> I'm just talking about this conversation being worse.

How? I expressed my opinion. It may not be right, it may be controversial, you may disagree. Yet your post came off as you should have supreme control, you do have many karma points but that still doesn't dictate. I don't doubt your intelligence, nor interactions, myself I am only 33, still learning the world. For all I know you could be god if you believe in such a thing.

> you deny, telling me Google isn't evil?

I'm was laying my beliefs based on the misunderstanding of your post. I misunderstood how "conversation being worse" it happens. However that again is another controversial opinion that the internet is within a very crippled state, for such pointed out above. Again, you may disagree.

Your entitled to such opinion you believe, I'm disappointed that if you did flag me, or that such a feature blocks because what I laid out wasn't out to be argumentative but as free-thought opinion. Maybe more emotional and cynical of than what it should of been but still. Words are tricky and no one person is an expert.

Regardless, mutually. Have a good night

Problem with that is that you will probably have a downtime for several minutes (or at least many seconds) each day. That's not optimal for a site where at any time of the day thousands of people are playing chess...
That's a neat symmetry. Another symmetry I like, in the other direction, is a fist is to the Earth as a carbon molecule is to a fist sized rock (I might be off by a magnitude or two, but by charitable interpretation it's accurate enough). That's a lot of molecules.

Good news everyone! It looks like GPT chat is back up and running again. I just checked and was able to log in and start chatting without any issues. Thanks to the GPT team for getting things back online and for all the hard work they do to keep the service running smoothly.

Possibly anecdotal but it appears to be back and not responding to most of the questions it was previously giving answers to. Most of the responses now start "I'm sorry, but as a language model trained by OpenAI, I don't have the ability to....".

Which is a shame, that was a lot of fun while it lasted.
> I'd actually pay a decent amount if they turned on monetization.

I agree. That said, I think the optimal move would be for them to leave it free (or at least provide a free option) to get people hooked on it. If pricing for this was the same as the rest of openai, I would never have tried it.

And I really really hope they do not go the "monetization via ads" route.

I'm definitely open to the belief that sentient AI, "left to its own devices", might pose an existential risk.

I guess what I'm trying to communicate, is that I don't think one has to buy the idea that we're anywhere close close to producing Sentient AI (which some people believe is impossible), in order to have a rational fear of the existential risk posed by "unaligned" humans that are assisted by powerful-but-not-sentient AI.

My new understanding is that, AI sentience is not a precondition for AI-induced existential risk. Pre-Sentient AI already gives us plenty of existential rope to hang ourselves with.

Yeah; the title is kind of clickbait.

Before I read the article, I was wondering if the SEC stepped in, or if some sort of financial services Sybil attack just unwound due to a bunch of not-so-independent-after-all players deciding to cut and run.

It is interesting that they have clauses to return shareholder money if the deals are cancelled (otherwise, this would be indistinguishable from a pump and dump scam).
I have extremely fond memories of Dune and Dune 2. Two very different games indeed.

There was also a remake with a 4th house if I remember, Dune 2000? Or it brought out the sardaukars, I can't remember.

I think this game then menta spoke to you and you could click around his face and do funny stuff, if my memory serves me well.

Epic game and a trend setter.

This is a really great user experience. One thing I wonder about is if people start logging in without their password all the time, will they slowly forget what their password is over time?

Partly to force memory reinforcement, I set the password cache time of gpg-agent on my machine to 24 hours maximum. Thus I have to enter my password once a day, which helps me to remember it; but it isn't overly burdensome.

I would wager the answer is simply findability, although reducing the likelihood of trademark collisions is a nice benefit too.
> trying to keep out the riffraff via fees they can't afford

The reservation system is exactly how the riff raff are able to use the park. You think poor people are going to spend a weekend or even a full week driving to a national park when they're not guaranteed a place to sleep or even the ability to enter the park? This system is much, much better for first time park goers. As more people experience the parks the reservation system becomes even more important to ensure they stay "wild".

> The federal Gov is more than capable of hiring a couple engineers and creating a reservations website

Empiricism says this is false. The government has created 0 good websites, let alone reservation websites, and plenty of bad ones.
I had the pleasure of QAing Dune II on the PC while I worked at Virgin Games in 92. The game really sucked me in and was fun to play, despite the bugs.
They were upgraded instead of simply deleted from the arsenal. Russia maintains a much more active enrichment program than the US. For some reason the US seems to want to keep it that way, or at least doesn't have a problem with. It's great that we used that fuel for domestic energy but those funds paid to Russia supported their further enrichment activities. Even today the US is supplying Russia with radioactive material and procuring enriched products from Russia. Maybe less in the last year but we generally have an open exchange of supplies and information with nuclear technology.

From a war standpoint the nuclear material isn't that big of deal, the delivery system is vastly more important for national security.
One major difference between the president and congress is that there is no posturing or "optics." Imagine all 100 senators want to pass a bill because it benefits their "donors", but it's something that society at large would oppose. They can, and do, then strategically organize the vote such that some figure around 50 will vote against it, prioritized by factors like how near their next election is, whether they plan to run again, and how close their elections are.

So when Joe Senator votes against (and, to a much lesser degree, for) something you can't ever really be sure they really do oppose/support it. The TPP was one of the most exceptionally visible examples of this with overt bipartisan strategizing against the voter. By contrast when Joe President signs a bill (or vetoes) it you have 100% certainty that it's his "real" agenda, because that is the ultimate and deciding "vote" excepting the increasingly rare scenario of a congressional veto override.

Put more succinctly, in our original hypothetical changing out those 50 senators who voted for the unpopular bill would have literally 0 impact on its passage. Yet changing the 1 president would. Even if congress might have the ability to override his veto of it, they would be unlikely to do so for an unpopular bill. In reality the bill would never be voted on unless the congress knew the president was on board.
Having a consistent output to same input is something. I have done a couple of experiments starting with same sentence and each time it was a little bit nuanced. I would be interested if the answer is the same for a targeted question. Still, it would be better not to draw conclusions early.
Inherent is a bit loaded of a term. Going public via a SPAC isn’t inherently bad. But it allows companies to go public without normal disclosures allowing investors the ability to do “normal” diligence.

That seems, inherently, to be a loophole that can be easily exploited (See Nikola). So, there’s that.

While I was initially very impressed with ChatGPT, I found that in lesser known programming languages, it returned more incorrect answers than correct ones. I've been doing AoC in Nim this year, and so I tried asking it some Nim questions, to which it confidently completely made up nearly everything.

"Does Nim have a REPL interface?" Yes, it told me, and even gave the command to use it (just `nim`). Except Nim doesn't have one, and the command simply prints out instructions on how to use the compiler.

"Can you do list comprehension, ala Python?" Yes, and again provided examples, despite Nim not supporting the feature. Even asking it something it something the language does support, such as an example of thread-safe parallel code, had it use functions that don't exist. It was quite odd.

I've had friends say that it worked so well that it taught them functions in their languages they didn't know existed, but I was left a bit disappointed.

> you're making causes and patterns invisible to your understanding, imposing a limitation on what you can see and make sense of.

Conversely, assigning a pattern as part of your understanding is also imposing a limitation. So it boils down to what the pattern gets you as a lemma. In this case, I'd say that focusing on the fact that a peaceful person otherwise quietly enjoying their life was attacked is the important part, because we want every other peaceful person just wanting to enjoy their life to see this as something that can happen to them. Add in the elderly woman bit if you need to make an emotional appeal to the ridiculousness of the situation, although it would be the same injustice if a young man was the victim of this home invasion. Always be cognizant of what you're giving up by tossing in labels.

I'm not denying that if the woman was White, there would have been more likelihood of the cops pausing to think "hey this could be my mother", and maybe give some benefit of the doubt and end up treating her as a person. But by the time we're at the absurdity of the cops committing a violent home invasion and home destruction on a 77 year old woman, we need a much stronger correction than simply some increased benefit of the doubt! Rather, we're dealing with a violent gang which needs to be treated as such, and made to pay for the damages they cause regardless of their motivations (as I elaborated on in my other comment).

For an example of where I would say focusing on race makes sense, let's switch topics and say we're talking about speeding tickets. Let's posit a situation (which is likely congruent with reality in many places) where warnings are given out more frequently to Whites, and actual tickets to Blacks. For a single instance of a cop giving a ticket to a Black motorist, the cop isn't doing anything wrong - the Black motorist was speeding, and thus qualifies for a ticket. But still looking at the overall pattern, we see that the law is being applied much more strictly to Blacks, while Whites get leniency. Addressing that probably does require training and quotas and other statistical outcome-based methods to rectify the constructive injustice.

(Assuming we don't just raise the speed limit up to where it should be based on how everyone drives, getting rid of the fundamental injustice of a setup that makes most everyone into a criminal.)

That is not analysis, it's opinion.

I’ve been loving embedded programming on various boards suited to IOT and I want to keep at it.

It’s been amazing to discover that I can throw up a LoRa network, get some controllers sensing and actuating, talk to them and observe them from the web, run their data through a message broker, etc. and have this little ecosystem of hardware doing things I want or need. I’ve just started piping some of the data online so I can observe and interact while on vacation in the future.

I’ve always just bought stuff that kind of does what I need, had a vague understanding of how it works, and left it at that. Now I can build a lot of things I need from components, and it’s sometimes even cheaper! I understand so much more about how things work. It’s really cool to be able to say I actually know what’s happening in a Bluetooth speaker and that I could (rudimentarily) build one from a Bluetooth-capable microcontroller. From code to power source to amplifier and wiring up speakers, I actually get it! Sure it would look and sound awful, but to me it’s amazing.

I’ve got a hydroponic garden that’s very well automated (dosing pumps for nutrients and pH levels, light schedules, pump schedules, heaps of environmental sensors, sensor calibration routines, etc), a mushroom fruiting chamber (way dumber than the hydroponic system), weather station, and I’d like to start getting into the basics of robotics next. An IK algorithm would be very gratifying to implement.

It’s so cool to use programming to make real things that interact with the world. I learn so many new skills, get better at programming, and actually make useful stuff. I haven’t been so excited about a new skill in a long time.

Part of me wonders if I might need more education to pursue a new branch in my career, but another part of me is pretty sure I don’t have any special talents and it’s probably best left as a hobby.
They're a heck of a lot more than Electron at this point. They're really in the satellite parts business at this point, with launch services as a side business. For the last two quarters, they made almost 2x as much on "Space systems" (solar panels, busses, etc) as they did on launch services. Launch is nice and visual so it gets all the attention, but it's only 1/3 of their revenue.
