This is just bureaucracy, which has existed long before AI.

Ok, it's not just bureaucracy, because the mistakes that AI makes to favor efficiency are different than those made by a large chain of overworked and sometimes corrupt people. But the root issue is not AI, it's the badly-implemented policies that the AI is designed to carry out. Look at any other strained system (food stamps, DHS, IRS, not government but Google and Amazon customer support), we have real humans carrying out bad policies and it's not much better.

Most people really do have morals and don't like hurting others, but those morals only go so far when you're part of an underfunded system, apathetic from burnout, and you literally don't have the resources or ability to make the morally-correct choice. All this debate on how AI lacks empathy and common sense place way too much value on humans who also lack empathy and common sense, and while an AI programmed to do something unethical won't hesitate, history and experiments show that some humans won't either.

We definitely should be learning and understanding the limits of AI and its hold on ethics, and not delegate policies like laws and income to 100% automated systems. But AI and improved efficiency really can help a lot of government institutions. Especially when the AI takes over the mundane, and the people in charge can handle the more difficult cases. Because then those people can spend more of their "human" empathy and decision-making better.
I'd like to understand what "This OS is a Lion" means. Is that a commonly used phrase?
That’s a dangerous belief. You can lose double digits every quarter until it gets delisted in the worse case.
I don't think humans are that logical. Feel-good marketing aims to associate buying, owning, or doing something with a pleasant emotion. Whether any pleasant feelings, added value or utility are achieved by actually buying, owning or doing something is beyond the scope of this marketing. And it often is just a false promise.
Looks nice, but AFAICT only covers observability of kernel calls, not e.g. calls to other libraries.
The last time a state tried to outlaw "selling your right to vote," the consequence is they banned people providing food and water to folks standing in too-long lines at the polls.

This was not good law. Badly-thought-out law has unintended consequences (or even maliciously-crafted intentional consequences at the cost to the public).

Dang. I love how cute this "hack" seems, but at the same time I hate to see anyone advocating feeding wild animals. It not only violates Leave No Trace, but it also violates other people's enjoyment of the crows as wild animals, and violates the animals' right to stay wild. Stomachs never lie. As someone who lives in an extremely remote and wild part of the USA, it blows my mind to check in on social media and feeds like this where people have co-opted wild animals "poor lives" as something laid open to some sort of weird new manifest destiny. They animals are not here for our enjoyment or entertainment. They're not here to be used. Sure, feed the crows Cheetos etc. if you're cruel, but don't suggest to the Internet that other people do this, because it's just not right.

I definitely wasn't expecting the author to be a biologist. Where I live, fed wild animals are dead wild animals. Because you don't know when that animal who is now used to being fed is gonna break into the neighbors' houses or simply beg at the door, and get trapped or shot or poisoned or all three. It happens. Dang.
There are only two sides in the culture war. Any free-thinking criticism of one side places you in or aligns you with the opposition.

“If you’re not with us, you’re against us.” Intelligent commentators mocked the famous George W. Bush line when he uttered it. But a decade and a half later and it’s the prevailing sentiment among many of the same people who ridiculed it.

Paul Krugman wrote recently that Elon Musk has “gone full MAGA.” The press will tell you what they can get away with. And right-thinking readers will uncritically accept it, for the most part. Trump was good for news traffic. My guess is that Musk is similarly good for business, judging on how many journalists seem to be on the Elon beat. I expect to read and hear a lot more of this for as long as that remains true.

Unfortunately the cave diver hired one of the most incompetent attorneys in America to represent him in what should have been an open-and-shut case. After blowing the Musk suit, Lin Wood went on to promote every asinine conspiracy theory during the 2020 election and was sanctioned by several different states and a Federal Judge for his conduct. I do wonder if that case had gone differently if Musk would’ve been chided a bit more.

Throwaway, because this is unfortunately a contentious issue. You shouldn't get a pass for treating people like shit regardless of what your ancestors did or did not do, so it pains me to hear your story. I never had much trouble at school with anyone except for poor or 'cashed-up' bogans, and yes it was damn traumatising. I can see a lot of personal bias in the comments here - whether that's warranted or not I don't know but it's interesting to see how people reflect on indigenous matters.

I was schooled in multiple Australian states, and 'indigenous studies' was a mandatory class in all of them. I'm not sure how valuable they really are. Yes, I can make cave art and face paint with ochre. I can safely eat a few otherwise inedible looking plants in my backyard and the bush if I so choose. We got to pat crocodiles and learn languages that have probably since died out. (Fun fact: Some aboriginal languages are now mere heuristics completely made up by people in government/local municipality-run initiatives with next to no association to indigenous cultures but with an enormous sense of undeserved guilt).

Thanks to those classes I'm also aware of the various atrocities that took place, it was drummed into us constantly that we should feel personally responsible for what some dead or otherwise decrepit people did or did not do. Most Australians are migrants, even more so now than in decades past. Why should they be made to feel guilty or be 'short-changed' as you so put it? It's ridiculous and stifles humanity's progress if you ask me. I suppose that's my biased opinion.

Respect to all, but I don't believe indigenous issues have much to do with me or millions of other Australians. We didn't do anything wrong, why should we pay the price? It's got nothing to do with me or my family.
The whole “wave function collapse” thing as far as I understand is simply the result of any measurement involving entanglement. When you measure something by any means you create an entanglement that cancels out the term in the equation that produces “wave like” behaviour.

Tacitus was certainly not a Christian source, writing around 120 AD, and wrote of Christus:

"Christus, from whom the name [of 'Christian'] had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular." [1]

One could cast doubt upon Tacitus, but he is one of the primary chroniclers of Rome, and much more of what we know of Rome would be in doubt also.

> Only in the sense that C++ itself "uses the C ABI"

Not at all. Qt literally uses the C ABI as a protocol for plugins. I have no doubt they chose it because it's the only inferface simple and stable enough for the task. It is relatively simple and stable precisely because there are zero C++ features involved. I thought that alone was damning enough so I didn't elaborate further.

What you said is absolutely true: the objects returned by those C functions are accessed by the real C++ ABI with vtables and everything. That's a massive problem and they shouldn't have been designed this way. Look at the mess this causes:

https://forum.qt.io/topic/119767/qt-plugin-fixing-c-abi-prob...

> I know that C++ don't have Aplication Binary Interface - ABI compatibility between compilers (example: MSVC, MingW, Clang and ICC).

> Besides that, the C++ ABI compatibility can be broken even using the same compiler with different version (example: MSVC 2003 and MSVC 2019).

> Example: If the main C++ application was compiled using MSVC 2003, all plugin developers MUST HAVE and MUST USE the exactly same compiler to build your projects, in this case MSVC 2003. Which is not good.

> Looking in the internet I found a way to fix that: Creating a C Wrapper of my C++ Interface Abstract Class.

The solution is, of course, to get rid of all this C++ business and restrict yourself to the C ABI. This is apparently the fate of every ABI that isn't C. When even that is annoying enough to deal with, nobody is ever going to want to deal with anything more complex.
Very cool! I wonder how they get around all of the “window” related APIs. I imagine you can pollyfill some of them but I would expect some random bugs here and there? I hope I’m wrong because this is otherwise great.

This should also be something that providers of 3rd party scripts should take notice of when developing. Why not design to be in a web worker from the start if you can…
So the wealthy are sheltering a modest value every year in their 401k?

(the contribution limit this year is ~$20,000, which hey, good for people that can set that much earned income aside, but I'm not sure they are "the wealthy" that you mean. Even the considerably higher overall contribution limit for catchup contributions doesn't seem like something "the wealthy" would be worried about for tax sheltering)
Why publish the "Twitter files"?

If it makes the situation more risky for Twitter and more likely to be sued.

Trying to prove a priori that AI can neither think nor understand is an endlessly alluring fools errand. But in the end, the arguments all seem to me to assume their conclusion. AI is entirely computational, and human understanding clearly requires understanding that can't be computed, therefore AI can't achieve human-like understanding or thought. But none of the efforts to describe what happens in human cognition that is not computable are remotely convincing. In this particular article, after reciting a litani of such unconvincing arguments, Bishop ends with nothing more profound than "current AI doesn't demonstrate understanding, which is because understanding is non-computable (why, not answered), hence no AI can understand.

Just show me what the magic that is can't be computed that is going in in the wet lab of our brain, but nowhere else is, and I might by their conclusion.
I use the website Ground News (https://ground.news/) to try to get information from as many sources as possible. In the past, I may have dismissed some people as being "crazy" or believing in conspiracy theories, but the past few years have shown me that it is important to keep an open mind and not be too sure of my own beliefs. As a result of this realization, I have been more open to talking to people, including friends and family, whom I may have previously avoided or dismissed (think - Trump loving uncles, or anti-vax brothers-in-law)

I am also much more sceptical of"experts" ("experts say that") and phrases like "there is no evidence for X" (https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/the-phrase-no-evidence...).
There's a tradeoff between satellite size and satellite number and also bandwidth available. Both claims are likely equally true without any contradiction.

It's the same way in the US with native Americans. They teach you about the genocide committed. What they don't teach you is that the government aggression towards natives didn't actually "stop" until Kennedy (and even then I'm still in doubt)

Sure, but Jesus mythicism is a fringe belief who's popularity exists almost entirely within the more activist atheist crowd, while just about no serious historian finds any validity in the theory.

I agree that no atheist should have stakes in the theory, it's pretty clear that a lot of the more vocal types think they have some kind of stake in it (Bill Maher has been a big proponent of it, to give one prominent example).

Unless you really need the mobility, a desktop is just the simpler setup, and (at least for PCs) can run more quietly under heavier load, because of better thermals due to the larger case. It’s also simpler to just add another SSD or more RAM when you need it, add/replace the GPU, etc.
My main workstation is a ThinkPad manufactured in 2009 (retrofitted with even older model's keyboard), and I have a stack of backup units, and shoebox of parts.

(It's now supplemented with a beefy GPU self-hosted server, and I can also use cloud servers.)

One thing you can do to keep old production computer hardware going is to stockpile your backup/parts units and individual parts now. Many times I've noticed how some old hardware I used to see a lot of on eBay has disappeared, or the little remaining is in much worse condition, or only available as a single example priced like a museum piece that sits on eBay for years. Some small parts seem to be available despite what I'd guess is low market demand, but entropy gets a lot of old gear (increasingly stuck in collections, discarded, worn out, etc.).
The legal code seems like ever increasing software code, except there's no incentive to refactor or delete whole swaths of it. How do we create such an incentive? Less is more here too, perhaps more so because the legal code affects everyone's ability to avoid doing anything illegal and to hold elected legislators accountable.
The mathematical framework for modeling decoherence involves coupling an isolated system to a thermal bath, described by a density matrix.

Thanks!

I am a Christian (though, that term has many inaccurate definitions). I'll look through the Wikipedia article.

You mention that the Gospels don't agree on anything except the basic narrative. We actually only need a small number of facts to agree. The Wikipedia article you linked confirms Jesus was real and he was crucified. His crucifixion fulfilled a lot of prophesy in plenty of scripture.

Jesus' resurrection is pretty hard to prove (there is no body!), but we see ancillary evidence: His followers gave up their lives for what Jesus taught. Luke-Acts was written "shortly after" the resurrection, when eye witnesses were still alive. Thomas ran off to India and started a church "before" early Christians had a chance to "fake" evidence

I agree with you that passion alone is weak- every (most?) religion has zealots. The 4 Gospels and Paul's account are first hand accounts. They heard directly from Jesus who claimed to be God. Jesus might be crazy, but the original Apostles watched Jesus ascend into heaven - and then they died pursuing what Jesus taught. Paul was passionate about persecuting Christians (note the misplaced passion!), but then Jesus visited him directly and redirected Paul's passion and faith.

People have definitely died for lesser causes. People have definitely pursued petty fights - but the decision of Jesus isn't petty - it is quite literally a decision that defines what happens after our short life here on earth.

I appreciate you sharing the Wikipedia article. I'll read through it so I can better understand you and people like you. I wholeheartedly believe that the God of the Universe made you and loves you - and I want to show you that same love.
