I'm not a fan of the whole "the market will deal with it" thing. Here's my analogy (I was talking about this as far back as the late 90's).

1. Assume global warming is happening.

2. Assume that global warming is going to start causing problems for humans.

Humans will start using technology to deal with these problems. And they'll be successful. This is going to have the harmful effect of making global warming worse before humans truly start trying to solve the root issue (because they can continue to live without being affected by it).

There are two lines here. Passing the first line starts affecting humans, and passing the second line ends in catastrophe (humans can no longer exist on earth).

In a well functioning system, as we pass the first line, humans will start taking notice and we will _naturally_ start trying to avoid the second line. The space between these two lines is our buffer.

As we use technology to keep the warming from affecting us, we will push the first line back while avoiding any true behavior changes that would ultimately keep us from the second line. This decreases our buffer and increases the danger. At some point the technology will either fail or completely remove the second line (one can imagine building a bubble around the earth ala space balls so we can very explicitly regulate the environment).

To use technology in this manner is to invite catastrophe and to gamble that technology will never fail us. It may, or it may not.

---

This is how I feel about "the market". In theory, the market should naturally push towards an equilibrium and correct so as to avoid true disaster. Humans are involved, technology is involved, causing the market to be unnatural and affected by forces outside of that market. In the case of markets, catastrophe isn't the extinction of all human life, but it IS untold horrors. People are currently using technology to force the market to be what they want. This will break at some point.

This is why the market needs to be regulated, to control how much of an effect both humans and technology have on it. Not because the market will never self-correct, but because of the untold pain when it does.

And I understand the argument against it, this is not about controlling the market, it's about _PROTECTING_ the market from undue influence by those with more power than others. The alternative to too much regulation isn't "no regulation", it's "less regulation". Of course, you also have the classic problem of "who watches the watchers" and there's no good answer for solving THAT problem, but I don't think the right answer is "fuck it, just let it play out".

The statement as ratified was slightly edited from the September proposal.

In the same way that the Beltway connections are somewhat hard to pin down.

I don't have much ready to hand - and it may be hard to come up with hard proof.

There is Greenwald[0] and the infamous Homeland Security Disinformation Best Practices and Safeguards Subcommittee - here are the bios[1]. Note how interlinked these people are. They don't need to document their interactions, because they basically think alike and know what to do without specific instructions. The FBI acts as the primary point of contact from the letter agencies, as per the title if the article we are discussing. The Beltway revolving door takes care of the rest of the interactions, including providing experts to the media, so the rest of the Beltway can just listen and act.

A war with China would be a lot more like WWI than any of the wars the United States has recently fought, in that a bunch of new technologies clash for the first time. I wouldn’t be so confident about how it all works out. Yeah, I’d still give the edge to the Americans because, let’s be honest, there’s a lot of us here who just really like making War.

But you have to go back to WWII to find a war where America fought a peer or neer-peer adversary and won.

Agreed. For large apps with even a little bit of complexity, context doesn't seem like much of a solution. You either have a million contexts for every shared state slice to optimize re-renders or you have a single context that takes a huge hit on performance. A single large context object is redux except redux knows how to intelligently update components based on what changed.

I don't get the hesitation to use redux. I've used it on every single FE app I've worked on and never regretted it. I can make redux do exactly what I want it to do and with the power we get from memoization of selectors via reselect, there really is nothing that beats it.

I'm also convinced that most people praising react-query are hugely missing out on the level of control you get with redux. Further, coupling side-effects -- e.g. fetching data from api -- with react component lifecycles is wrought with awkward edge-cases that you don't have to deal with in redux.
It would be nice if it could be cooled using water from the Columbia river instead of from the aquifer...

A board game cafe with boardtenders, like you and friends come in and ask for something lighthearted and funny or deeply strategic or like another game X. The boardtender suggests a few possibilities from the library, set up the game for you, and then teach everyone how to play.
It's kinda like breweries, wineries, distilleries and such in that there will be several products for tasting, but it's often subjective, and customers will come in with different tastes and experience levels. There's already places like this in many cities (like Mox in Oregon and Washington) but it's not quite as full service as that.

> China, which actually has a larger navy

The US has a far more advanced navy (a large proportion of Chinese ships are patrol ships without much tactical significance) and many more aircraft carriers. Aircraft are extremely important in naval conflicts.
Remapping Control to Caps is my secret weapon. One feature I can't live without either on MacOS or Gnome is the Emacs keybindings for moving around text. Ctrl-A to move to the beginning of line, Ctrl-E to the end, ctrl-n for next line etc.

I generally use emacs when I'm doing quick edits and don't want to open a GUI, or if I want to take notes. After I got used to the bindings for movement I realized I was able to do them globally. This pretty much allows me to have great keybindings (when Ctrl is remapped) on any editor or application I am using. If you don't already do this I highly recommend trying it for a week over the arrow keys. Just be careful. It may be hard to go back.
Your setup must not be right. The one I’m using at work reloads the page when I save in the editor so by the time I switch to the browser window it’s already loaded. Basically no perceivable compile time.

Yeah, I was surprised the article only mentioned this in a quick breath. Of course it's because of the movie! The DoE doesn't want the movie to come out, painting the AEC as these persecutors and bad guys, and then the public crying to the DoE to clear Oppenheimer's name.

Now the DoE can say... "yeah, we already took care of that, nothing to see here". It seems completely transparent to me.

The way you say “something that looks like art” feels like you don’t consider the output of these AI models as art, and that generally speaking you have specific views on either what art is or what counts as art…

So what of the Dadaist, the postmodern and the rest, where art is only art because we say it is art, and the creation of art need only involve the “artist” scribbling their signature on the object to bestow it with “artistic merit”. I cannot see a good way to reconcile a philosophy (law is different here, plenty of art can be illegal, eg: graffiti) involving AI and art like this… Duchamp’s readymades, are the products of a factory’s meant for consumer use, are Art… AI art is the product of an sophisticated set of multiple software tools combined and then used by a person to produce their own artistic vision, the output is Art.

If Duchamp signing a urinal makes the urinal art then me using a prompt to craft a specific artistic outcome arguably required more creative effort to understand my “tools” and use them to produce a result that should also be considered art if I want to call it that.

I accept that we may come around and regulate and legislate these tools, just like how it’s illegal to make a graffiti masterpiece on someone’s wall without permission, it may eventually be illegal to use models trained with “unlicensed” data and the matter settled… but can we quit with this denigration of the output as somehow not actually art?

It sounds like it could be part of a leitmotif from Zelda, which is interesting because the Triforce is the first iteration of Sierpinski.
Because the backend actually does something. Truth is 99% of frontends are just a way to display data just fetched from the server and don't really have a need for state management at all. For the 1% out there, use Redux (or Redux Toolkit), or maybe forget about React since it's not the only library ever invented.
Beware a world where artists are replaced by robots. It's starting now

No, you are probably right. It has no guardrails for generating a true citation. When you ask it for citations, its programming generates the form of citation. As the authors of the article discuss, it has no model of reality to understand that citations are not just a form of words and symbols put together.
Stars and Human Economies are, to put it simply, both results of complex Physical Phenomenon.

Do you posit a non-physical Human Soul? Are Human Economies more Special than Systems of Gravity or Energy?

We can certainly Battle Entropy, but does something 'human' about us make us Immune to Natural Law?
This was my immediate thought as well. I don’t need millions of searches done, I need 20, then a language model to look through them and collect text that helps me find what I’m looking for.

The lucky thing for Google if they got it working, is they are half there already. As much as I despise Google, I have to admit GPT won’t be their death.

Well, popular opinion needs no protections.
I came to the comment section looking for some valid arguments for/against the article, but nope.
So much for not interfering in the internal affairs of other nations.
That depends heavily on the severity of the mistake or the nature of the unpopular view.

I personally like Google's approach to this internally: mistakes are to be expected and are often a sign of bad process, not faulty people. But egregious repetition of mistakes of the same kind indicates a failure to learn and grow that can slate someone for dismissal, and treating one's coworkers as less than human is also a short path to the door.

(There are some outliers also. Crafting yourself into a walking Title VII violation ties the company's hands regardless of whether they'd be willing to let an employee grow and change, because the law isn't structured that way).
I agree that a hybrid could work, although ChatGPT struggles to keep context with more than a dozen paragraphs, so I doubt it could summarize millions of results.

And in either case, you're not solving the problem that commenters here are trying to solve: Google's bad results will still affect your search, so ChatGPT will be fed largely by dubious blogspam.

ASML is essential to chip manufacturing and it's european, what about EU restricting exports for security reasons if Taiwan do the same?

Good point. There is a degree of injury and I would have, prior to several years ago, assumed the general public at large to understand the difference. Given that social engineering has steered empathy into being weaponized politically, I now unfortunately think this is either explicitly codified or roundly dismissed. Gradations of judgement left entirely to those offended whether present or not is an untenable society. Which, may actually be the intention. My perspective comes from having listen to a talk from Alan Watts on false virtue.
Sick, I love sites like these, thanks. Fun titles in there too.

> Water vapor rises above the cooling towers in The Dalles data center in Oregon. These plumes of water vapor create a quiet mist at dusk.

That is water that isn't being released back to the river, or reservoir, or aquifer (from which it came).

edit another source, though a bit old: https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2008/10/01/goog...

> Data center cooling is usually the area where the greatest savings can be realized. That's true for Google, which describes its use of evaporative cooling techniques, and provides a diagram of the workings of one of the cooling towers at its data center in The Dalles, Oregon.

Still, the evaporative cooling towers are the things that are there and take water from the ground and turn it into steam, released into the air.
Slightly left of extreme right is still right.
> I want a ‘pure’ keyword. Any function that is pure can only call functions that are also keyworded as pure. No side effects, guaranteed.

Pipe dream, unfortunately. If pure functions accept objects as arguments, those objects could have impure getter methods, or perhaps be proxy objects that have impure methods. Pure functions could also receive Function objects, so you'd have to indicate that the passed arguments are pure as well.

Unfortunately, because TypeScript is optional, such a declaration on the functions and their arguments would also be optional, meaning that you couldn't even rely on this as a language feature (your caller could pass you an impure function even if you specified you didn't want it).

I don't believe they would determine or even expect it is following an algorithm.

For example on HN my password could be 1YCju7i8!

I'm a huge Kate Mulgrew fan even as I don't think Janeway was a great captain. I remember coming across "The Principle" on Amazon, seeing her on it, and purchasing it.

You can argue that the scale is different, and you may be right, but I do think the other poster is correct that they've existed for a very long time and many people use them as a proxy for trust when making decisions.
