Different cultural norms. Korea has a strong paternalistic tangent running through. Corporations are paternalistic, governments are paternalistic. As a foreigner you might feel this is simply oppression, because you lack the context so it comes to you as simply oppressive and nothing more.

I'm one of those foreigners who didn't appreciate that my apartment's management office would blast public broadcast messages directly inside my apartment at 8AM to say stuff like "there's a farmer's market in the parking lot today (like every week)". I asked them to stop spamming my household via their PA system for non-emergency stuff and they thought I was a antisocial psychopath.

Then I learned and just disconnect the PA system. They don't mean to invade my privacy, but my privacy boundaries aren't the same as theirs.
I always go back to people like Drake and Shostak. They seem pretty convinced that "they" are out there, but the problem is that there’s no known way to communicate with them due to distance and time. If there’s a way to solve this problem, please let me know. Sagan and others seemed to think that if we could communicate (a very big if), then we could exchange our knowledge, but how exactly could you do that? The problems appear insurmountable.

I think Reddit should allow anon users, but not anon mods. Reddit leadership exercises censorship over the major issues of the day, using their anon mods, which has caused great harm to America and the world, IMO. We don't allow anon judges and we shouldn't allow anon mods (at least for large subreddits—with great power comes great responsibility).
We know that OpenAI was able to classify the prompts it received, at first privately - now publicly, so I'm thinking they are sorting out by use type, not prompt targets. They have probably learned a lot about new RLHF targets to focus on. It'll blind you to see the actual process of OpenAI if you focus on the noise in people's usage of ChatGPT.

Dart is as generic as you get as a language. It has no interesting or outstanding features that are not available elsewhere.
And that's why it's so easy to pick up. If you know any mainstream OOP language, you essentially know Dart already.
I could, it would just be a waste of time. IME commit messages are the least looked at form of documentation period.

After spending some time on midjourney's discord it hit me that for the vast majority of the population, no matter the tools they are given, have absolutely 0 artistic sense.

AI can play chess, Go, Jeopardy, StarCraft, Minecraft, Atari games, write essays, summarize text, answer almost any question, drive a car, do above average on a SAT test, fool many people into wondering on Twitter if there were real people typing answers, write chapters of books, act as a dungeon master, write code to spec, win programming competitions, act as a therapist, fold proteins, provide medical diagnosis, visualize any image you describe, visualize any video clip you describe, animate characters, understand spoken language, take drive-thru orders, translate, tell jokes on any topic on demand (vastly funnier than you, would bet anything on that), write songs (music and lyrics), recreate a scene from any angle based on some photos, impersonate any person speaking in video and/or audio, impersonate any person's writing style, imitate any art style.

It's quite possible that AI and robotics will fully surpass humans in all tasks in the next several years and you will still be in denial. Along with millions of others.

EDIT: not permitted to reply, but the comments below are examples of denial or lack of information. In fact leading edge systems have been driving without human assistance for years. The new OpenAI models certainly don't need any help to answer their prompts.

It's going to be interesting to see how far the denial goes. I assume some people will deny that artificial entities have any "real" intelligence somehow forever, even after they are literally talking to them face to face on a daily basis as they provide superior professional advice or services. Or even when there are many autonomous agents that take control of the planet.
It is possible!

The accountability of the existing judicial system is already pretty thin, and in some cases being elected makes it worse rather than better, but turning it over to automation? Having a system that is entirely unaware of the society and political environment in which it operates? That is very bad for legitimacy. Now, you don't need legitimacy so long as the monopoly on violence holds ...

Interesting factoid: a codec called TrueMotion by the Duck Corporation encoded cut scenes for a number of games in that period, on PC and Sega Saturn+Dreamcast+3DO. This company later changed its name to On2, and developed the VP3/VP8 generation of codecs that were ancestors of AV1 (Google's open-source codec) (Disclaimer: I was founder/CTO)

Off the top of my head, we did intro & cutscenes for these titles/platforms (this is a small subset):

Spycraft | Activision PC

Gexx | Crystal Dynamics 3DO

The Horde | Crystal Dynamics 3DO

Street Fighter II | Sega

Final Fantasy 7 | Square (PC +/or PS2??)

I also thought this was bollocks so have just been running pyperformance on a virtualised arm64. I have some figures from Linux running on the same platform. I've not been very scientific about it.

FreeBSD is consistently slower. Between 20-50% across the board. I must admit I'm amazed that Python spends enough time calling into the OS to make a difference this big. Perhaps it's a problem with libc? Maybe there's something going on with memory barriers? My "fist unix" was FreeBSD so I'm amazed and just a bit gutted.
Just to note, it is a little bit more complicated, as there are other aspects of a tax residency test as well. IE, if it is your "home" as dictated by some other rules it can be a tax residency even with less time spent there.
In the first post about this, it was revealed they're exfiltrating detailed metrics covertly by piggybacking on regular requests.

Emacs: C-l and C-L: Do you know the difference?
C-l (Ctrl+l) scrolls the window so that the line the cursor is on is centered at the middle of the window. On the second invocation of C-l it puts the current line at the top. On the third invocation of C-l it puts the current line at the bottom.

Documentation:

C-l runs the command recenter-top-bottom (found in global-map), which
is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘window.el’.

It is bound to C-l.

(recenter-top-bottom &optional ARG)

Scroll the window so that current line is in the middle of the window.
Successive invocations scroll the window in a cyclical order to put
the current line at certain places within the window, as determined by
‘recenter-positions’. By default, the second invocation puts the
current line at the top-most window line, the third invocation puts it
on the bottom-most window line, and then the order is reused in a
cyclical manner.

With numeric prefix ARG, move current line ARG lines below the window top.
With plain C-u, move current line to window center.

C-L does exactly the same. Emacs translates C-L to C-l and the same behavior is seen.
Hmm. Think you could be right. Question to me is whether they can provide anything compelling beyond stability of identity / ease of connection. That would itself be pretty huge though, so is maybe enough to displace WhatsApp and the like.
Short answer, we didn't need it. While the code is largely cross-platform, there is some work involved when it gets down to the details.

We are currently working on supporting Windows to Windows. Linux to Linux has lower priority as rsync already provides all functionality, it's just a bit slower on fast connections. On slow connections, rsync and cdc_rsync perform very similarly as the sync speed is dominated by the network.
They already have a demo of integrating bevy with vello, the renderer that Xilem uses.
Soon we're going back to the trees and the AI will bring the food and gives orders :DD.

Frankly, well-developed artificial intelligence should only be used for very difficult tasks, and everything else should be left to humans, otherwise we would rely on it too much, and the decline of our species would be inevitable.
Of all the z’s my favorite by far is Ctrl-z, which send the current application to sleep and drops you back to the terminal, where you can do whatever you need before using ‘fg’ to return the slept process to the foreground.

It works with everything but I use it with vi most of all.

You can even sleep as many processes as you like and choose which one to return to the foreground as needed.
If I recall correctly (many years have passed) that was used to recover from the effects of Chernobyl virus:

but (for whatever reasons) it didn't work on all motherboards, and when it didn't work the hot swap method was used/needed.

I remember fixing a couple motherboards with the latter, being lucky enough to find a similar BIOS chip from a stack of broken motherboards at a local computer shops.

You'll need to ask an actual mathematician. Cook recently wrote that blog post, so it's much better to ask him in the comment section of that post.

Just because I can do a Google Scholar query using "rational trigonometry" and find papers saying things like:

"Explicit tough Ramsey graphs" at https://arxiv.org/pdf/0807.2692.pdf . "We present here two new explicit constructions ... The first construction is based on a remarkable new approach of Wildberger to trigonometry and Euclidean geometry."

does not mean I am qualified to judge what is "interesting", or figure out which use non-real fields.

> If you're alluding to the notion "AI will take ALL the jobs!", well, here I am, still building websites for well established companies that still don't (in 2023!!!) have a web presence. Hell, half the worlds banking system still runs on COBOL!

One thing that I have noticed in the just-over-a-decade since Word Lens first demonstrated real time augmented reality translations on a smart phone (IIRC they were later bought by Google for Google Translate), is that a surprisingly large number of people aren't following what AI can do. In fact, fellow developers even a decade later have been surprised when I told them about this feature of Google Translate. And we are both Ausländer living in Berlin, so we both have need of it.

This means that I am not surprised by your experiences, nor would I be surprised if you can continue to do that business, even though it's already possible to get GPT-3 (ChatGPT is more like 3.5) to build you a website.

ChatGPT knows more Python than I do, and I have been paid to write Python (albeit a while ago now). Don't get me wrong, I can see things I'd do differently, but it worked, and it did know stuff that had been added to the language more recently than the last time I used it: https://github.com/BenWheatley/Studies-of-AI/blob/main/codin...

The underlying assumption here is that Sam would be willing to sell OpenAI.

I don't think that's the case. There's no amount of money that Microsoft could throw at Sam to convince him to sell. Not only is he already wealthy, but he's also a true believer in AI. And unlike Snapchat, it's going to be very hard for incumbents to clone.
abuse of broader society (current and future generations) by narrow interests is now the norm. it is very seldom that there is something in the news that is uplifting and illustrative of a system that is actually working to increase broad-based welfare as opposed to opportunistically benefiting the shrewdest or most ruthless operators.

the way things have been organized economically and politically (especially under US late-state capitalism) once a business does well financially it can basically capture its political/regulatory context and control its own destiny by influencing all decisions that affect it. it is no longer a Milton Friedman style rule taker, it is a rule maker.

there are many channels that enable this, both on the incentive side that create the desires to act in such ways and the response side (regulation, laws) that define the corporate interface with society (e.g lack of liability for any externalities created, oligopoly status ("there is no alternative") or revolving door arrangements with regulators and politicians (people shamelessly cashing-in on relations and knowledge)

nothing intrinsically difficult to solve to get to a better place. it does not take a "revolution" to fix democratic, market based, economies. it "only" requires having a moral compass and the transparency and awareness that helps navigating according to its prescriptions. the rest would take care of itself. exorbitant profits, environmental destruction, astronomical wealth inequality etc. are not required for the system to work. they are the result of system that is degenerating in the hands of a particular set of people
DAGs are a superset of trees. All trees are DAGs, but not all DAGs are trees. One way of looking at it is: you a non-tree DAG if you allow the tree nodes to have multiple parents.

One of the reasons trees are so popular in software development, despite the fact most problems being solved with them factor into DAGs much more naturally, is that trees can be rendered nicely in plain text, while DAGs in general can not.

DAGs are really the fundamental structure of almost everything we work with. Git commits are arranged in DAGs. But so is code we write itself - think of a function A, called by functions B and C, both of which are called by function D and E; that's a DAG right there. Even the "abstract syntax tree" is, in a way, planarizing a DAG (it's tree-ish only because you duplicate symbols that are, in fact, a single entity). Filesystems look like trees, but the moment you add support for symlinks, they become a DAG (if you allow symlink loops to form, then it's not even acyclic anymore). Inter-module dependencies of your software form a DAG. Etc.

(Some things are even more naturally represented by a directed graph with possibility of cycles, but we try to avoid that as it's hard to deal with - a cycle is like an infinite loop if you try to step through it, so to handle it statically, you need to be able to compute a stable state of the entire cycle in one go - and if you have time/external input component, then you now have a dynamic system that you'll most likely have to simulate, and something that's tricky to reason about without control theory background.)

My personal opinion is Tesla is kinda over priced for what you receive overall. It is sort of a novelty/luxury type purchase. If your objective is practical, reliable and afforable transportation, there are more attractive options.

But the fact that Musk seems intent on making purchasing one a political decision as well is an additional negative. I think a majority of consumers would kinda balk at providing material support to an overt political propaganda operation.

Those who think otherwise tend to be fossil fuel fans; which only makes how Musk is positioning himself even less savy.
I believe they have something like 30% in the tractor market in the US but when it comes to specific types of tractors (especially the larger variants) it is much much higher.

Additionally the negative effects of a monopoly can also show in a duopoly or the like. It doesn't even need cartel like collusion.

And no capex? I mean, renewables already consume zero "fuel", but they do have considerable capital investment.

"Cheap" energy in a box would obviously be completely transformative given how much of society is structured around extracting energy and using it efficiently to move things around or heat people or things. Depending on how cheap this is an even bigger transformation for developing countries.

You could even start to think about terraforming.

Actually, so far I've seen humanities people discard chatGPT output faster than sciences.

In the humanties there is lots of well-written text of no useful depth, so academics in the humanities get good at filtering it quickly. In the sciences, it seems "this is well written and well structured" is treated as a filter to assume the text probably contains something worth reading -- of course eventually it is found to be nonsense.
