Hardly. Go ask a 6 or 7 year old to write down their "reasoning" at multiplying 203948029384029384 by 7834928734982374982374 and, assuming you can even get them to do it, I argue that the words they write will be very similar to what ChatGPT wrote. Perhaps the vocabulary will be less refined, but the essence will be similar.

In any case, the point is that it's an objective thing anyone can observe: compare the two outputs. See if they differ.

> This is purely ignorant magical thinking.

I counter that you ascribe "magical" thinking to the human condition.
ChatGPT enjoys the Essay format, In my experience asking for basic emacs help (kill line, copy/paste, show line numbers in a php file even though init.el says show them for all langs... :)
Very useful, sometimes outdated, very wordy.

But after a few rounds of "please reduce your message length to 20% of the standard", "long messages inconvenience me/ due to my dyslexia" (truth/lie), "your last message could have just been '{{shortened}}' instead of also bringing up the command you successfully helped me with 3 messages ago", etc etc. Even as you ask it to shorten message length, it continued apologizing and also reminding me of past advice :)

After 4-5 attempts, it gave me a nice 2 sentences sort of like "I will be more concise, and not bring up old information unless it is useful to solve a new problem"
I said "Thank you", chatGPT spends a while thinking, gets to 2 sentences, thinks a bit, then the chat box re-formatted as if passed a shorter string than expected, and that was that.

Then next chat it forgot all about brevity xD I love it
Isn't at least some AI-related material a part of your upper-level course work at University?
these models don't do any actual reasoning

This gives us the new all-purpose excuse for not commenting or documenting our code:

"The A.I. made it."
Figuring Out What's Next After Your Needs Are Met with Jason Lengstorf
Front end dev here, formerly full stack. For moderate to high complexity apps, I would choose Next.js on Vercel for its incredible developer experience relative to either vanilla JS or React without Next.

If you don't care about React (for its popularity) it might also be worth considering other frameworks.

I would remove as much of the backend as possible and store whatever I could on the edge and use serverless functions extensively (also built into Vercel and Next). Failing that, I would outsource the backend to a headless CMS or a managed database. I would abstract as much of it as possible instead of having to manage containers and VMs.

Javascript is incredibly powerful these days and the backend can often just be a dumb data store. Vercel is incredibly innovative and IMHO one of the two companies really pushing the Web forward (the other being Cloudflare).

My rationale is that this stack allows you to spend the vast majority of your code on business logic instead of infrastructure.

You can write each page in a few minutes, git push, and it's automatically built and hosted and cached. Stacks that used to take days to set up now takes mere minutes. It's so much better than it was even 4 or 5 years ago.

Next took me from hating React and JS to falling in love with it. I enjoy every new project I write in this stack, something I've never experienced before in any other language, frontend or back. It feels like the only stack that was designed with developer experience in mind. It's purpose built for web apps.
"Beating a dead horse" was the one I was thinking of
It depends on you.
Do you want to work in the comfort zone of your expertise from the past or do you want to learn new things to push your knowledge base.
For me, I have to learn something... something... every day
The shockwave is probably at a constant distance from the cracks (AKA, the same speed). If it gets too far ahead, it will just create another crack, in an independent direction, and you get one of those random curves you get on the crack.
You don’t get to change the subject, and then complain that OP didn’t address what you want to talk about. You’re calling out hypocrisy that you haven’t even established exists.
This is also great advice in the event email (or anything else) that distracts you at work.

Essentially, don't process in real-time. Process in batches a few times a day.
What about turning them to always directly face the sun?
For many dev tools, the biggest competitor is the developer themself
Whether or not they do reasoning, they answer questions with a decent degree of accuracy

How do you know they're accurate if they can't explain how they got the answer?
I don’t think it’s whataboutism. The OC said they do not understand how a human can fin a shark because it’s cruel. The GP comment provided an example (factory farming animals) that illustrates animal cruelty is commonplace. That is to say, if you understand animal cruelty in factory farming, you should be able to understand animal cruelty in shark finning. I don’t think the GP intended to dismiss concerns about shark finning because factory farming exists.
Dehumanized by strangers isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've talked to multiple women who prefer to wear masks on public transit because they're less likely to get catcalled or harassed
How cool would it be to bundle WordPress as a single PHAR file with one SQLite db file to go with it in the same directory?
The problem with those studies is that a Gluten free or a gluten and dairy free diet is not enough to actually treat "leaky gut" or similar issues. It's a bit like saying you can fix an ecosystem by removing two invasive species from the environment. Sure, it might work, but it's such an oversimplification that the results will appear random, or, "inconclusive."

Studying diets is notoriously difficult, and rarely done in a helpful way. Everybody has a different internal ecosystem -- as well as different dietary stimulus, even if they're following the same diet. This makes it incredibly difficult to draw broad conclusions based on controlling just one or two dietary factors.

This is rather unfortunate -- because the right dietary treatments can be truly transformative for many people, for a variety of conditions. However, because of the difficulty of proving this scientifically, such treatments are ignored by the medical community, leaving patients to figure this avenue of treatment out on their own.

The answer, in my opinion, is massive funding -- the kind of funding that can compete with billion dollar drugs (such as Humira). However, that's really not going to happen. Oh well. Sorry for the rant!
Depending on how much is at stake here there is a site called swapd.co where a bunch of people advertise Instagram "unbanning services." Basically they bribe Facebook support employees to get your account back. Typically they run for a few hundred dollars. I think the site has a built in escrow system too so as long as you pay on site you should be protected.

I hope this goes viral so you don't have to do that but it's an option. Good luck.
It begun for me after smoking weed one night - in a flash I was outside my body with an extreme panic attack and the sudden belief that I was inside essentially a game. This first panic attack lasted around an hour or two. It was horrendous. Your PTSD is something you can manage, I have it too. It gets better and weaker as the years go on. For myself, this all happened 18 years ago but it made me a stronger person.
Yea, the OP said federal legislators should do something. The constitution provides them a legal framework for writing laws.
This is an even more effective strategy given the Japanese culture of constantly rebuilding housing [1]. It does beg the question of how sustainable that practice itself weighed against the benefits of solar installation.

plug-ins are likely the real burn.

MediaWiki technically supports PostgreSQL and SQLite for many years, but extensions are really MySQL focused making it the only real choice.
Yeah I've been using tabbed folders in Explorer for a decade, and some theming overrides to make that more slick.

I have a 16-button mouse (one of those gaming ones with basically a numpad near the thumb), works out of the box. Same with a variety of dodgy Bluetooth chinesium junk, a drawing tablet, a VR headset... Maybe 10 years ago I had an issue with a 3G modem?

Put short, I cannot corroborate your experience at all.

(I have been on and off Linux the last 10 years due to gaming, but it seems I will be able to stay this time, Proton often performs better than natively Windows)
To think that the decades of email suffering finally ended with... slack.
Now I look back at those email driven times with relative fondness.
Slack is being used to drive multiple, concurrent SYNCHRONOUS discussions. Left unchecked, none of us will survive in-tact !

I will admit to loving it sometimes (being jacked in) but it always leads to burnout.
Thanks, that's probably it! (I need to do stuff like this, but I don't use a Mac regularly, and that would help)

I'm led to believe that these are called "assassination coordinates" now, by Elon himself.

But if you want to side with MSNBC, CNN and Mashable, go ahead. You're on the wrong side of the line. Orwellian is not a good look, no matter how normalized it might be.
no, Chesterton's fence is just good strategy. radicalism is when people disregard that.

the difference is where one looks for these fences, where one notices them, how much time one spends on understanding their reason for being, and how one responds after gaining that understanding.

populism is loudly proclaiming that there are easy ways to get rid od the fence, and making "everyone" happy.

chauvinist nationalism is blaming outsiders for the need for the fence, keeping it up, and claiming that our fence is the best, of course.

fascism is palingenetic ultranationalism, claiming that our ancestors had the best fences, and we are destined for similar greatness, and the way to that greatness is whatever fences our great leader comes up with, because our great leader understands ancestral fences the best.

...

now, what is conservativism? it's very similar to these, it's basically the claim that we need to respect the fences first and foremost and not understanding them. and the claim/belief that fences cannot be really removed anyway, so one should try to live and respect them, and eventually through this process one will also gain the understanding for their reason of being.

liberalism is to allow people to put up their own fences, and get rid of the old big ancestral ones.

neoliberalism is to set up markets where people can buy/sell ask/bid for fence rights.

contemporary rationalism is to set up prediction markets, recruit superforecasters to participate, and then put the fences where they maximize the global fairness & happiness prediction market.
Are you suggesting a link between his lack of phone and his loneliness, or his moving and his loneliness?

I know our generation (you can guess) is painted with the "too obsessed with social" habit.. and I'd say the preponderance of people staring at their phones during all moments of life (driving, shopping, dining with their partners) makes them no less lonely. You can pretend you're not lonely as long as you have a graph to pulldown-reload.

I have a phone, no one has called it in years, I wouldn't say I'm lonely.

Even if they're orthogonal, there's something seemingly off with people staring at their phones all the time, during every moment in life. My last gf would pick up her phone the minute I paused a show to pop into the kitchen or go to the restroom. That didn't bother me.. what bothered me is when she didn't notice my return and put the phone down so we could return to our show or movie. I'd have to do the "I'm back" cough or shoulder tap. It became increasingly objectionable.
Natural Language Processing Aids Use of Open-Ended Questions
I can believe they work for decades, but mostly because nobody believes they’ll do any better the next time.
That would adversely affect new businesses and discourage competition for well-entrenched businesses. The net results is that it would handicap growth.

Consequently, it’s a terrible idea.
I cannot even ssh into the server after trying to use DuckDB. It is completely dead (with all the ducks, what a misery).

The reason is probably that it's using a full index, in contrast with the sparse index in ClickHouse, and maybe it's trying to build it in memory, going to swap (the server has 32 GB memory).
It goes also with a different aspect of German culture.

They rolled that out together with finger printing.

People value their privacy here and this was overstepping too many boundaries.

Those features have also never been explained to the average Michel here. Even IT interested people are not aware or understand the good things about it.
Chemical batteries are nowhere near suitable for providing sustained load to the grid, and never will be.

What's happened is they're now cheap enough that for fast dispatch load levelling applications, you can install them where instead you'd have to consider bringing a whole powerplant online inefficiently.

In the next 100 years, I predict no overnight load is going to be handled by installed grid batteries as part of a major energy grid: it'll only ever be backup capacity to make smooth the small scale variations of renewables (i.e. a cloud blowing over a solar farm briefly).
Fantasy books are guilty as hell on this front.

I somewhat enjoyed The Wheel of Time, but the number of times the books had Nynaeve pulling her hair, or wearing a prettier dress than those made from stout two rivers wool - which she continued to maintain was just as good....

Sanderson seemed to cut that out (or at least back) after he took over the last three books.
Did the German language ever have a 'proper' German word for messenger? I seem to recall a computer message was a "nachricht", but I have forgotten so much...
I'm sorry, you lost me.

Is your point that we can only demonstrate consciousness through pharmaceuticals or surgery?
Maintaining access to a 20 year old ssh server will not be trivial. A modern client would usually fail to agree on encryption protocols in my experience.
I assume the same, as the nuclear power will displace gas power. There's almost always at least 5% of demand supplier by gas.

He just founded a new company called Keen Technologies to work on AGI. Not surprising that he wants to focus on that now. He's been part-time at Meta for years. I'm interested to find out what kind of business model he's planning for an AGI company.

> As anyone who listens to my unscripted Connect talks knows, I have always been pretty frustrated with how things get done at FB/Meta. Everything necessary for spectacular success is right there, but it doesn't get put together effectively.

> I thought that the "derivative of delivered value" was positive in 2021, but that it turned negative in 2022. There are good reasons to believe that it just edged back into positive territory again, but there is a notable gap between Mark Zuckerberg and I on various strategic issues, so I knew it would be extra frustrating to keep pushing my viewpoint internally. I am all in on building AGI at Keen Technologies now.

@dang can you change the link to one of these?
If I own a plane and you track that plane, there's nothing I can do, since that information is public. Websites that publish that data through an API are publishing data they got from the aircraft itself.

There's a number of ways one can avoid being tracked and Elon saying there aren't is a blatant lie.
This patronising response makes up for in flowery imagery what it lacks in reasoning.

AI are not a "bugs bunny" where we can observe the total process of creation, one which is is relatively deterministic.

We are now engineering complex mechanics with emergent behaviour. There's no reason to assume any of the properties of human consciousness and reasoning is unique to us being made of atoms constructed in a certain way.

There's no reason to assume the stored state of zeros and ones, mechanised statistically, can't emerge complexity that asks questions of the fact we are simply state being mechanised statistically too.

GPT3 'make things up as you go'-driven development
“During Meta's developer conference in October, Carmack hosted a solo hour-long talk about the company's Oculus or Quest headset. He admitted he had many things to be ‘grumpy’ about, like the company's rate of progress on technological advancements and the basic functionality of the headsets. He said it was frustrating to hear from people inside Meta who found the Quest 2 headsets so unreliable that they refused to use them for work or demo them for people outside the company.”

Has anyone tried accounting for the tens of billions of dollars Facebook is spending on this? This pattern—massive outlays followed by poor, possibly-rushed possibly-underpowered workmanship—sounds remarkably like corruption.
Sharks kill about 5-10 humans per year while humans kill about 100 million sharks every year.
It doesn’t look like you disagree to me. The result of such taxes or regulations is less and more expensive consumption.
It always seemed like a poor fit to me. From the begining, Facebook has always been an unctuous, slimy organization and Carmack seems to be a relatively high-integrity human. I'm honestly surprised it lasted as long as it did.
This may be less or more helpful depending on your role and company culture.

When you are junior, you better be responsive. The more senior you are, the more important it is for you to own and drive your own agenda, which can only be done by consciously ignoring a ton of noise (or even valuable signal, if it's not valuable to your agenda). I can imagine this is even more important with ADHD.

The way I run my work life is, I have a document of 10-15 key things that are on my radar to push, out of which 3-4 are on my "crush first" list.

These are really important, strategic, big things. I remind myself that if I get these done but nothing else it would be a huge win. On the other hand, of I get a lot done of random stuff but not these, it's a fail.

That gives me licence to tune out the noise that isn't relevant to my goals. And to politely decline meetings, etc. Don't get me wrong, if a senior leader wanted to talk about something that's not on my list, I won't decline that meeting - but I assume that because he or she is voting with their time, it's probably actually important.

What I am getting at here is that if you define a valuable agenda, you can operate in a more 'pull' than 'push' way - meet with people and follow channels that you know ahead of time are relevant to the 3 things you care about today, and give yourself licence to ignore the rest.

Your manager can be helpful here. Meet w him/her and say: these are the 15 things on my radar, of which these 3 are top priority. Is that right?

If your manager confirms (or corrects) your priorities, it gives you some licence to ignore other stuff too.

Exact same here.

I was pretty good at policing the YouTube content, but one day I came in and found my wife without a care in the world while my child was mimicking horrible YouTube behavior. Turned it off and never looked back.

Now my friend with an 8 year old is telling me how YouTube returned to his life. I’m not ready for that and instead trying to build a device that will pause time

Genetic algorithms reveal profound individual differences in emotion recognition
It would have the *same* exposure regardless of the sun location, but that's nowhere near "optimum".
This is a very emotional subject for many people here because people still have causes which perhaps feel are going unaddressed.

I hope that we can all celebrate this win, without getting mad at each other for celebrating it.

1. No human has time infinite time to champion every single cause we care about. Even the busiest, most proactive activist in your community deeply cares about things they have no time to do anything about.

2. People can (and should!) use language to disavow things. It is a low effort way of generating social contracts, which is a good thing!

3. If we disavow things that do not directly impact our day to day lives, it's a form of empathy.

4. Finally, people can disavow shark finning while still approve of factory farms. Count your blessings if you find any overlap at all with another person's values because then at least some change is possible.
