> We used to imagine that machines would take up the burden our physical labor, freeing our minds for more creative and interesting pursuits: art, science, the study of history, the study of human society, etc.

You’re like half a step away from the realization that almost everything you do today is done better if not by AI then someone that can do it better than you but you still do it because you enjoy it.

Now just flip those two, almost everything you do in the future will be done better by AI if not another human.

But that doesn’t remove the fact that you enjoy it.

For example, today I want to spend my day taking photographs and trying to do stupid graphic design in After Effects. I can promise you that there are thousands of humans and even AI that can do a far better job than me at both these things. Yet I have over a terabyte of photographs and failed After Effects experiments. Do I stop enjoying it because I can’t make money from these hobbies? Do I stop enjoying it because there’s some digital artist at corporation X that can take everything I have and do it better, faster, and get paid while doing it?

No. So why would this change things if instead of a human at corporation X, it’s an AI?
I have instant ink and I love it. First time ever I’ve been able to own a printer without swearing at it once
So much great postgres stuff comming out from supabase. I'm really impressed with how much focus and direction the team have. So many companies would try to broaden their product/feature suite, but fail at understanding what made the core sucsessful and stretch the company in many directions. It really seems like they are just making them self better and better experts at postgres. And how to use it well. Really looking forward to see where this is going.

On a sidenote, is not the wrappers for
Airtable, BigQuery and ClickHouse opensourced? Or why did they skip that column in the second table?

Is all of supabase opensourced now? I'm meaning I heard something about function not being opensourced but I can be remembering wrong. Most stuff is on GitHub I see
That’s what I meant by team dynamics.

I can separate concerns instead of multiple functions changing the same UI, but I can’t guarantee that everyone else will.

The conventions that React provides sidesteps the need for discipline and that I find useful.

Doesn’t mean that the approach in itself is better, IMO. and if you work alone, it’s clearly way too much trouble for little gain.
This is a very strange thing to say since great art is often not technically difficult at all. Much of modern and contemporary art is like that, nevertheless the art is superb.

> Learning technical skills like draughtsmanship is harder than learning programming because you can't just log onto a free website and start getting instant & accurate feedback on your work.

Really? I sometimes wonder what people think programming really is. Not what you describe, obviously.
I use joe. I've been using it for 25 years at this point, and it works enough, and I'm not interested in changing. About 15 years ago, I upgraded to a version of joe with syntax highlighting which was pretty cool, but I'm not much interested in more than that. I do occasionally poke around with things in fancy IDEs (it's easier to fiddle with Arduino projects with an IDE than otherwise, because nobody writes about how to do the pieces individually... but maybe I can drive platform.io from the command line in the future), but I'm much happier with a simple as dirt editor, and another terminal to run Make in (or whatever, using Rust for work now, so running cargo instead of make).
Thanks a lot. The Django API Domains Styleguide looks great.
Do you perhaps know some open source projects that follow this structure?
Who is this guy? He is contradicting economic analysis that’s been incorporated into IPCC reports. He uses the phrase “so called Nobel Prize.” He isn’t even currently a professor at any institution. He’s apparently supporting his research with “crowd sourced funding.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Keen

Apart from that, the gist of his critique seems to be that economists are using linear extrapolations and aren’t incorporating “tipping points” into their analysis. But its the climate scientists at the IPCC itself who have consistently declined to give tipping points and runaway effects significant weight. That’s true even in the latest 2022 IPCC report: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6.... The strongest thing the executive summary says about “tipping points” is that certain ones “cannot be ruled out.”
In general all this stuff is chopping the bottom off the market. AI art, code, writing, music, etc. can all generate passable "filler" content, which will decimate all human employment generating same.

I don't think this stuff is a threat to genuinely innovative, thoughtful, meaningful work, but that's the top of the market.

That being said the bottom of the market is how a lot of artists make their living, so this is going to deeply impact all forms of art as a profession. It might soon impact programming too because while GPT-type systems can't do advanced high level reasoning they will chop the bottom off the market and create a glut of employees that will drive wages down across the board.

Basic income or revolution. That's going to be our choice.
It's a very good documentary.
Thanks! I added them. Image is a bit ugly, but I will work on that.
That looks like an utterly car dependent community. I don't think you can have walkability without fairly dense construction.
Seems the same to me.

Wouldn't this be a good set-up for some money laundering? If he had some entities that needed to disgorge cash to him, just mint NFTs and sell them to the entities?

Will this be another way to hide bribes in any direction? I create something with essentially zero cost and sell it to you for a significant sum (or 1000 of them). I'll pay taxes or else figure out some offset dodge, because it's out in the open, but you appeared to get something in exchange so it's not a bribe for my service, it's a purchase of my wares.
I believe the current generation of AI would be better suited to augmenting human understanding of code (through static analysis tools and the like), rather than generating it.

On an infinite timeline humans will no longer be needed in the generation of code (we hopefully will still study and appreciate it for leisure), but I doubt we're there yet.
I have a good idea too, without ads! Profitable also but not a twitter or mastodon clone, more like myspace met reddit and a really pretty baby (great UI concept, i won't spill the beans), moderators get paid and moderation is federated. Most importantly it isn't some idealist utopian platform but built for profit while preseving freedoms and user consent and user data ownership.

I would rethink about mirroring real life interactions, real life has drawbacks and people can do real life in real life just fine.

I have many ideas though, and I am not motivated enough and I don't code for a living or have a ton of money and a desire to make sales pitches.
Perhaps it would be better to say you can't imagine "the future" without capitalism, as history prior to maybe the 1600s offers a less technologically advanced illustration.
I feel for artists who feel like they’re losing their livelihood. Art has always been a tough profession, and this doesn’t help because late-stage capitalism all but guarantees that a lot of potential customers will just skip the human-made article in favor of the “good-enough” mechanical production.

That said, automation is coming for all of us. The problem is not “we Need to stop these AIs/robots from replacing humans.” It’s “We need to figure out the rules for taking care of the humans when their work is automated”
Same. The impact rate of myocarditis might be extremely small, but if it's caused by the vaccine, it should be investigated, while at the same time, people should get vaccinated.
Luckily, the scientific community understands that.
Unluckily, the non-scientific community doesn't on both ends.
The supporters of the vaccine think you're attacking the vaccine. The detractors think you're suddenly supporting them.
No. EVERYONE should be vaccinated. The vaccine has been given to billions, it is exceedingly safe. Can we do better? Yes. Is it marginal? Also yes, but I don't wish miocarditis on anyone.

A house(30 years of labor in the current market where I live with my current salary) in a location where jobs are available (so, close to a city).

It is different with my peers because with some of them, at some point or other in life we were at the same level, which is why when I think about how much they've been able to further themselves in life compared to me, makes me have thise depressive thoughts.

I will reach out to mentors, that's a very good point.

I relate to a lot of things you've mentioned, thank you.
Bringing the right people together and having the right environment that gives rise to „having an insight“ can be a big part as well.
Is it your position then that it's either your personal belief or a divine communication from your God that the government should be able to discriminate based on religious beliefs, against existing human rights legislation?
These are still copyrighted recordings, and they seem to be available in the usual places you would find copyrighted digital audio.

Her work is not licensed for digital distribution, and largely out of print.

So, there's unfortunately no way to compensate her directly for her works.

And "work" is an understatement. Moog synths of the day were barely instruments. Imagine playing a symphony (symphonic arrangement) using only a single glass filled with water.

You could get any note you wanted, but only one at a time and even that required constant retuning.
That's actually a great thing in the long run. Money will be spent on compute, compute will generate data by generative models + validation models, then data will be compacted into a new model. Models and data can be copied, money can't.

If it works with just electricity and doesn't require manual human work it is a game changer. No longer limited by human resources, we can scale research in any field and improve everyone's life much faster.

AlphaGo is an example of such an approach. I don't think models will be locked down, they will probably be like go bots in recent years, about 50% of them open sourced. As long as there is an open dataset, the models can be replicated.
The site isn't working for me? Anything I have to fix on my side to make it work?
It can write an original poem using unique prompts I give it. Are you suggesting a similar poem exists somewhere else? I think not.

It cobbles together examples, sure, but that's exactly what we do too. Everything "original" we make is riddled with subconscious outside influences.
You're confounding the people of today with the people of the future. We've learned over the last couple of decades that the people of today in general refuse to make any sacrifice for the people of the future. This doesn't change when the people of today are negatively affected because any sacrifice is felt in the future and doesn't mitigate the negative consequences of today.
> unvaccinated people are more likely to be infected and become a vector for the virus, infecting other people.

I'd add to this the fact that it was especially true earlier in the pandemic, and at that time COVID was significantly more likely to be fatal. Even if someone rejects the idea of getting a fourth dose of the vaccine (rightly or wrongly), it's possible to think that the first two doses were an entirely reasonable one-time intervention into an ongoing pandemic that saved many thousands of lives.
+1 I was much happier using Dapper compared to EF. I figure if it's good enough to run stackoverflow, it's probably good enough for whatever I happen to be doing.

The amount of open source in dotnet is great. (I think more than Java? My impression of that is dominated by Apache etc., though my experience in the Java ecosystem is limited. Presumably people in Java land would expect the same of dotnet being dominated by Microsoft, but that's really not the case).
Right now it still seems to lack the horsepower for this many users. Hope it gets in a better state soon, but I am bookmarking this right now!

“You kidding me? I love eating bacteria-modified-plastic-waste-paste. Have you tried the blue flavor yet?”
There's a significant difference in kind between "a nasty cold or flu season" and the excess mortality rate we've seen during COVID, particularly earlier in the pandemic[1].

There's no non sequitur here: getting vaccinated reduces every demographic's risk of serious illness (even when serious illness is not especially likely!), which in turn reduces the burden on healthcare institutions. That is a good civic reason to get vaccinated that has nothing to do with transmission.

Elon's plane seems to have landed at LAX at 7:50pm on Dec. 12 (Monday), around 24 hours before the incident.
This is some more of that free speech absolutism we've been hearing about. Flight paths that are public are protected by freedom of speech up to and including a court decision. Yet it's fine to have tons of white supremacy tweets and loaded threats and slanderous tweets about people without any issues.
The funniest part is he have to use two smart thermostat in each room and he realize that one smart thermostat heat up the other one and fucked up the temperature reading.
These people also seem to ignore that CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED QUITE A BIT over the entire pandemic. Of COURSE recommendations made when the vaccine first came out might need to be modified or updated as more gets learned about possible side effects and how it interacts with different variants.

These people never seem to have a problem with the changes in the polio vaccine over the years, or chickenpox
Damn that would be a dream machine. M1 Air is amazing if you have a powerful desktop. The only thing separating it from perfection is a 13” screen
I keep hearing vaccination being promoted, but the last major study I saw showed no statistically significant difference in natural immunity + vaccination versus simple natural immunity. This also seems to be a topic treated as a fringe conspiracy theory instead of an extremely serious health issue worthy of a large amount of resources dedicated to giving us an answer. One certainly could be forgiven for thinking the vaccine has become a larger political issue than health issue for both sides.
My understanding is that ChatGPT (and similar things) are purely language models; they do not have any kind of "understanding" of anything like reality. Basically, they have a complex statistical model of how words are related.

I'm a bit surprised that it got a lookup wrong, but for any other domain, describing it as a "novice" is understating the situation a lot.
Do people really believe the climate was ever going to stop changing?
Would hydrogen work as a fuel source here?

It would make sense for heavy machinery to use hydrogen rather than batteries as an energy store because it is a lot more energy dense (and lighter), but it's still not as energy dense as fossil fuels.
Curl (like, the real deal curl.exe) is also available on Windows 10 since... a while.
> We generally don't allow parents to force risky irreversible things onto their children.

We absolutely do, but that is a completely different conversation.

If that doesn't work for you I am sure you can't object to conscription as a societal burden.

Where are you going with this line of discussion? Or did you just want me to think of something that wasn't medical?
Do you truly not remember? That was exactly the claim made at the start of vaccination. From December 2020:

Fauci Predicts U.S. Could See Signs Of Herd Immunity By Late March Or Early April

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/1...

> "I would say 50% would have to get vaccinated before you start to see an impact," Fauci said. "But I would say 75 to 85% would have to get vaccinated if you want to have that blanket of herd immunity."

Months later, May 2021:

Masks off? Fauci confirms ‘extremely low’ risk of transmission, infection for vaccinated

> Copilot itself is a commercial product that is built a body of training data, even though it is completely different from that data. It’s clearly “transformative.”

Is it, though?

The article wrestles with the notion of the gap between "idea" and "expression." To me, I wonder if this is the same gap. The training data is equivalent to the "idea," and the output of using that training data in a particular way is the "expression."

In this view, the result of your training isn't transformative, and it might not even something you can claim copyright over. What is it other than a particular arrangement of facts that have been feed into it? Merely adding weights in a highly dimensional space does not seem "transformative."

This article feels like it's wrestling with the wrong side of the problem.
Utilitarian ideas like this are the basis of every story of the rogue AI that locks up humanity for its own safety.
One thing software engineers can do now is push legislation that will protect their jobs from being replace by AI. It won’t be that long until there is a 10x improvement in AI-based software development over human-based, easily on the order of legislation lifecycle. When that happens, we need to be legally at the table, or we will straight up be cut out of the profits by billionaires and hedgefunds, because fuck us and anybody except for them (it is their world financially).
This could easily be flipped on it's head. Artists wanting more control over their creations ensures bad actors can't use/misuse as easily. Freely creating tools for any bad actors to use/misuse appears incredibly naive in this light.

Now was Aaron Schwartz (what I view as on ultimate example of this open source idea you cite) naive, no. Maybe he knew in his heart the greater good would outweigh anything.

But I don't think we should judge too harshly merely falling on one side of this issue or not. Perhaps it's down to a debate about what creation/truth/knowledge actually are. Maybe some creators (of which aritsts and computer scientists are) view creations as something they bring into the world, not reveal about the world.
I meant something capable of extending the GUI. For example, displaying the autocomplete with documentation and mouse scrolling. Shells can do that, but they are limited to text.

I also want a marketplace where I can browse extensions made by the community, see votes and comments. I think that it fits nicely in a terminal that's like an IDE.
Not quite. A query plan is usually represented as a tree of steps to output the desired result. Each node would be a high level operation (e.g. a sort) or source of data (e.g. read rows from table), possibly pulling from other nodes beneath it.

The actual compilation of the plan to machine code is possible and a few database systems do exactly that. But most process then nodes themselves or JIT specific node types represent simpler or more tightly defined operations.
What makes tiktok different is not the algorithm, but the data that the algorithm has to work with. Do you like a tweet? Hard to judge from your behaviour, unless you explicitly hit like. With video, it's easy: Do you keep watching? Youtube's algorithm works great for the same reason. (The article does point out one important difference between youtube and tiktok: On youtube, you have to click on a video first. Meaning, the algorithm has to suggest not just videos you would enjoy, but also videos that you would decide to click on.)
Right and why is that? Because there is often no budget to solve the interesting parts and because of a lack of skills and because of terrible management - all of these mutually reinforcing.

Same if true by the way for writing. So? Doesn‘t mean writing well is easy.
Considering the deep conv nets that melted the last AI winter happened in 2012, you are basically giving it 40 years till 100%.
I actually think a lot of modern and contemporary art is more technically difficult than it appears (though certainly not as technically difficult as making a marble sculpture or something). But fair point.

Not sure I fully understand your second point: are you implying that I don't really know what programming is?
Great writeup! The defmt logging crate uses a linker script to extract debug symbols so that you get nicely formatted stack traces on embedded systems. It works on linux, macos and windows. I wonder if the same technique can be applied to this project. It needs a runner though so may not be the right approach.

All that guy has to do is show up in court without a lawyer and say he's protected under settled law and court cases. I assume the ACLU or similar will back him if he asks for their help. It's almost certain any judge this comes before will toss it out based on the 1st amendment and precedent.

No, beacon hill sends money (via MassHealth for example) because it makes Massachusetts a better society. We don’t want Western Mass to be destitute.
A thing that can be viewed can be learned from.

I can't copy your GPL code. I might be able to write my own code that does the same thing.

I'm going to defend this statement in advance. A lot of software developers white knight more than they strictly have to; they claim that learning from GPL code unavoidably results in infringing reproduction of that code.

Courts, however, apply a test [1], in an attempt to determine the degree to which the idea is separable from the expression of that idea. Copyright protects particular expression, not idea, and in the case that the idea cannot be separated from the expression, the expression cannot be copyrighted. So either I'm able to produce a non-infringing expression of the idea, or the expression cannot be copyrighted, and the GPL license is redundant.

We have to be extremely cautious when considering any of the death-related statistics for this particular situation.

For example, we know that a dubious methodology was used for counting deaths in Toronto (Canada's most populous city, and the fourth most populous city in North America).

This was publicly admitted to by Toronto Public Health itself, as early as June 2020:

"Individuals who have died with COVID-19, but not as a result of COVID-19 are included in the case counts for COVID-19 deaths in Toronto."

https://twitter.com/TOPublicHealth/status/127588839006028596...

I can't see how that significant city's death stats could be considered reliable or usable for analytic purposes, after considering how the counting was done. The provincial and national stats would also be affected to some extent.

This makes me quite doubtful about the stats coming out of other regions, too.
Look how many people are talking about him. Like Trump, he's won.
