Um, actually!

Asimov's theorized robots ("positronic brains") used potential-based computing (interestingly, AFAIK they predate digital computers; there's actually a few scenes in some stories where characters start using computers as New Shiny Thing) - so I'd actually argue that the original Three Laws are specifically for heuristic-based computing.

The three laws aren't really "strict", nor are they what we'd commonly consider "laws". An Asimovian robot (approximately, and IMO) doesn't think of things to do, and then discard the ones that don't match the laws; the three laws are the direct creative impetus for generating possible actions, each action "coming with" some % value in each law, and if the sum passes some threshold, the robot "decides" to do the action.

Basically every story in the "I, Robot" anthology is a story of debugging this system... which is essentially a heuristics system. One of the clearer one is the rover orbiting a hazard that it's supposed to investigate at a radius where the balance of the 2nd and 3rd laws even out.

Armchair AIist that I am... if I were to try to implement the Three Laws with current AI systems, I'd probably stick one system on at the "front" to add/modify/create/interpret prompts in a way that adds the three laws, and then stick one at the end to measure (and then filter on) how well the output adheres to them.

Ah but if you give (or force) people the opportunity to do the wrong thing, they will almost invariably do it, best of intentions or otherwise. HR stuff gets exhausted soon enough, and then you are back to operational matters and the problems begin.

I'm sure there are lots of blogs and ebooks about 1:1s, but I doubt they approach them with the requisite critical mindset for a clear view, given that they themselves are a product of this somewhat anachronistic management culture - bear in mind that in the US an employee is 'owned' by the employer to a rather greater extent than in Europe.

Interesting. I know Google had legal issues in Australia(?) because they had a little box that would scrape an answer from a website without you having to go to the website. Content creators are clearly not going to be happy with this, but not citing sources leads to the same confidently incorrect answers people have pointed out in ChatGPT.

I wonder where this will go.
Yup! Ironically, of all the things the movie did... poorly, the robot's realization of the "Zeroeth Law" (first law, but applied to "Humanity" at large) was (IMHO) canon.
Lol until like FTX they get caught overleveraged because of a panic and those "assets" go to zero because their creditors get preferred for repayment over "those with assets" in binance.

Seems trivial to me to bolt on some critical thinking filters.

Right now ChatGPT acts like pure Amygdala. You poke it, and it spits out something that looks right based on what it was trained on. This is fine, it's just a demo, and this gives a really deep understanding of the direct limitations of these sorts of LLMs.

Ideally a more mature chat bot would just do what I do in situations where some critical thinking or research is called for. I do a quick fact check. I think up a few search terms for Google, Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, whatever, assume those results are more logically accurate, and present that data instead of the typical vomit my brain usually spits out. ChatGPT is actually really good at coming up with good search terms for popular search engines, and incorporating results into responses. It just doesn't have anything that reaches out to the web at the moment, which is probably so a certain subsection of the population doesn't have a total panic attack.

It seems like fact check functionality would take less than 100 lines of relatively straight-forward python. I bet you could even get ChatGPT to write it.
Nope, it gets encrypted in the Discryptor client first, then sent to the Discord bot, which forwards the encrypted message it to the recipient.

Ah, what an excellent catch-22! If you don't have a list of notable use cases, people claim that there are no serious users. If you make a list of notable use cases, then the fact that you compiled such a list is "telling". Debunking oft-repeated falsehoods is significantly different from being "hostile to outside opinions".
That was not 'the' alternative. Skype, Teams (which subsumed it), Jitsi (which we used as a partially remote team prior to the pandemic and then inexplicably switched from to Zoom during), Discord was just starting to leak out of gamer-sphere, I think Slack already had group video calls, etc.
Eh, I'd let it ride for another 5yr. It's not really a big problem. Might as well keep the government thumb off the scale until the economic niche has shook itself out more.
Some positions require a full time employee. I'm sure many of the employees have families, and you're putting them all at risk if you allow a critical full time position to work half time. That isn't hustle culture.
It’s the visibility problem at the entrance to a tunnel. While you’re in the bright light, it’s harder to see into the shadow. I know that theoretically you should slow down, but practically nobody does, so it’s unsafe to suddenly break during a brief loss of visibility, as demonstrated.

Wayland does not care about security. In fact it does not even offer standardized access control protocols. The flaw here (among many others) is that the protocol that is responsible for negotiating display output for multiple processes (which is what Wayland tries to be) should also contain standardized interfaces to exchange that output among processes, but Wayland doesn't.

> If you need to "poke and prod" your "subordinate"

This was my interpretation of the comment I was replying to. Here's what they wrote "A good people-person manager can get the employee to bring up things they otherwise wouldn't think of.". To me, that's a nice way of saying poke and prod. I'm not advocating for that.

> When I did 1:1's I had lunch (on the company's dime) with the team member. If they wanted to bring up something work related, that was their opportunity. I might bring up some general news about the team or company if I wanted their comments on it without a crowd around. Some asked for raises, brought up need for new training or interest in another kind of task within the company. With some we just chatted about video games and whatever for the duration.

That sounds fine to me, but why schedule a recurring meeting to do this? I'm not against meeting up with people and shooting the shit. I'm not against bringing up and discussing issues. I'm not against helping someone grow and flourish in their career. What I'm saying is that 1v1s are a horrible way to do any of those things. Recurring meetings in general are a horrible way to get anything constructive done. My suggestion is to be more proactive in how you manage. Don't wait for a 1v1 to discuss things. It's the same for all-hands. I despise all-hands meetings with a passion. It's a horribly inefficient way of setting company-wide expectations, doing an announcement, or whatever it is executive teams use all-hands for now.

> The point is to accommodate people who are not comfortable contacting you directly about issues or feel that they can bring them up in a group. When you have a regular routine meeting with them that has no real set agenda, they know that in the next two weeks they'll have an opportunity to bring any issues to you in an informal setting.

This is incredibly easily solved by having open office hours. It achieves the same goal without the stress inducing event sitting on the employee's calendar for them to worry about hours before and after the meeting.

Forget Blockchain. Just think of inventing a currency of your own. Paper currency. A designer designs it get it printed through printing press. What's worth of that currency? Then a few dozen more follow the suite and print their own design and own currencies - how much worth is that all? Zero.

Add more limitations that no more than 7 or X number of people can exchange currency notes among themselves at a time and there's no privacy whenever you pay someone, your and their name gets advertised on TV, Radio broadcasts and is printed on NYT frontpage.

That's how much useful any crypto is.

Gripes are unconstructive, though. I'm just as disenchanted as the next person, but in the FOSS world the ethos is rightly, put up or shut up.

Personally, I suspect that if the Wayland developers simply dropped maintenance of Xorg completely--no more patches, no more XWayland or at least completely disassociate XWayland from Xorg--that a community would step up and carry Xorg forward. As it is, that erstwhile community remains largely hidden, maintaining out-of-tree patches. But if that community faced the prospect of 1) being able to take back the reigns of Xorg, and 2) if not, Xorg vanishes today, then it would likely become much more motivated, organized, and proactive. (Whether it would be capable of carrying Xorg forward is a different question.) Alternatively, it might create the environment for projects like Arcan to shine.

It seems that Bridgeman is clear-cut, has even been extended to 3D reproductions, and it doesn't seem that the courts are interested in overturning it. Naturally, this means museums must ignore it and full-throatedly declare that of course they own the copyright to their faithful photographic reproductions of public domain artworks, a lie which will be repeated endlessly by people who think those who have a financial interest in the law being a certain way would know best. See also the ridiculously over-broad declarations made by the NFL of how much control they have over the use of the phrase "Super Bowl" to describe a specific football game: Absolute shameless lying is par for the course when it comes to people who think they ought to have a proprietary interest in something, especially if the law is not on their side.

> Medicine has come further since the internet than it did in 50 years prior, imagine the hit COVID would have had if nobody fucking knew about it until someone they knew got it.

PCR goes back to the mid-80s before the internet became common at all. The news of a novel virus in China was all over the mainstream media outlets back in Jan 2020. Publication of the identification of the viral sequence happened in Nature, that could have still all happened over phone calls and fax machines.

The internet makes that all decentralized and faster, and now anyone can look up that information without going down to the medical library, and there's videos on youtube about virology where the average person can find good information (although you have to run the gauntlet of a plague of bad information without any training as well, so its kind of 50/50).

We still would have responded to the virus and developed the vaccines, and people still would have been able to be informed by the media. The ability of the average person to find out better information is also somewhat balanced by the ability of the average person to find out worse information.

It wasn't entirely the dark ages back in the 80s though and medical science still progressed.
I find the experience good for soothing the imposter syndrome!
I found this old blog article at a high level on how Dark Sky works... about 12 years old now. I always loved this app and was kind of sad when Apple acquired them... but to have Apple come in and just buy your app out is probably a great feeling for the founders :)

Heavily threaded will suffer the most between the K & non-K, but not necessarily enough to drop below the "only" 16-core competition which was the comparison point here, not the K version. Especially since it's primarily the 8 P-cores that are really going to be impacted in such a scenario.

Hence why I specified "lightly threaded" not "single threaded" workloads. There's a whole huge market of workloads that sit at around 4-8 threads. They're called "video games" and it's what Intel has been bragging about being the best at for a while. The new crop of non-K's look prime to suffer the most in this workload relative to AMD's non-X competition.
Marketing is the ideal field for BS, especially SEO. Few people know what you do, ever fewer can tell if it's working or not, and it's easy to find (or fake) stats to fit any story you want to give.

Journalism and media is a pretty good one there too, though obviously more with the tabloid/internet blogging side than with the more respected outlets. Very easy to fake stories and sources, and if cases like Stephen Glass are to be believed, you can get away with it for years even then.

> Can you delve into the complexities?

Not at tolerable length for HN and do the subject justice. In very brief summary, the problem of how to balance the resolution of the interests of the two victims in this type of case, is a rather old one that has been recognized in the common law for quite a long time, leading to nuanced handling of different circumstances, which have themselves evolved over time, taking into account factors like the kind of property (real property having one general set of rules, personal property having another set of rules, but money and negotiable instrumenets having at times a different set of rules than personal property generally, etc.), the relations between the three parties, etc.

There’s been a lot of ink over the years written on the issue, though, “bona fide purchaser for value”,”innocent purchaser for value, “good-faith purchaser” are all terms for the issue. (Often, though, it will be written of in the context of a particular domain, e.g., real property transactions, commercial transactions under the UCC as compared to some particular preexisting law, etc., but it is all the same broad issue.)
Leave it to Douglas Adams to talk about Hypercard and leave you thinking differently about giraffes.
As abhorrent as I find the race baiting in this article to be, I am also glad that there is finally some recognition of how U.S. sports are a very thin veneer over the pervasive idea that black people are best suited for entertainment purposes. Now that we are close to bringing the one drop rule back, I can safely say that I, as a black man, do not feel particularly great about being targeted as the ideal actor/athlete/comedian/etc. especially when forced to do so in environments my ancestors were not environmentally prone to inhabiting (c.f. ice hockey so white).

Let the Asians (in all their various forms) and Latinx (a firmly heterogenous bloc according to the white women who tell me how to think) have their turn as entertainers. Let Finns (whatever they are) have hockey. We'll be fine.

I confess I haven't read all of his work on robots, but actually (perhaps contrary to popular belief) Asimov was hopeful on robots from the start. His very first short story[1] and one of the first stories about robots (after RUR, which is amusingly and maybe unsurprisingly both the story to coin the term Robot and already feature a robot uprising!): it's essentially a touching friendship story between Gloria and her robot Robbie.

I wouldn't say there's no AI risk, or risk from having robots and powerful intelligences, but he generally seemed to convey that we should be capable of making quite safe and quite friendly robots, given that we can make them at all. Which makes sense to me. The engineering of ethics in robots and AI doesn't seem too much more alien than the task of engineering AI itself (specially goal-oriented AI). It requires effort, attention to detail, and a progress in understanding morality and ethics that is going to be difficult for us, but it shouldn't be that fundamentally scary, as long as we collectively have the will to make them safe (in the spirit of the three laws).

I think Hollywood (in 'I, Robot' the movie) exaggerated his impression of AI danger (perhaps because of the 'Frankenstein complex'[2] Asimov coined), and the interest in catastrophe. I think 'The bicentennial man' is a complementary movie more in the hopeful spirit of Asimov.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_(short_story)

Quote: " The story centers on the technophobia that surrounds robots, and how it is misplaced. Almost all previously published science fiction stories featuring robots followed the theme 'robot turns against creator'; Asimov has consistently held the belief that the Frankenstein complex was a misplaced fear, and the majority of his works attempted to provide examples of the help that robots could provide humanity. "

I would expect it to sift through the SIEM, discard bot noise, discard skiddies and find the targeted attacks with a priority on successful attacks. I would expect it to follow whatever incident responses process is in place but in milliseconds, route the attacker to a dummy environment and keep them busy whilst simultaneously building a legal case against them and chatting with a courtroom ChatGPT system, get court order and warrants. Well at least the first part for now.

Bonus if it can de-anonymize the criminals, take control of their C&C nodes and seize their mule bank accounts and send live video streams of the criminals.
