There are a number of issues with your reasoning here.

The main one that my previous post was getting at was (A) is not an axiom in your ethical framework; it's derived. And I think you'll find if you try and build up to (A) from base principles, sentience won't be a condition of the ethics of an action.

A secondary one is that (C) is true regardless of what you replace LLMs with, because you've outright state that you don't have a means to judge what sentience is. You could take your argument and use it for:

- Humans

- Cats

- Ants

- Car engines

- Rocks

- Air

And it will hold, since you aren't relying on any particular properties of LLMs to make your case.
Enigma is a weird name because the World War II Enigma is the last famous example of the bad way cryptographic systems for serious purposes used to be built. During that same war the Germans also used Lorenz, which while it's obviously not secure today is a much more normal modern design, a stream cipher.

Nothing we use today resembles Enigma at all, it's the sort of thing a crank would come up with and post to Reddit or whatever, but stream ciphers like Lorenz are totally normal. ChaCha20 is a famous modern stream cipher.
Thanks. You convinced me. I will read.
Sure - up until the point that OK Go got publicly indignant about the lawsuit, everyone acted reasonable here. One party had a problem with an action another party took, so they communicated about the problem to the other party. The two parties weren't able to come to an agreement, so the other party asked for a court to make a decision. Not really much of a story, I think.
Looks super good indeed! Great story on IH.

Did you start having only the game at first above the fold and then added more content below? How did it evolve over time?

It looks like SEO drives most of your traffic.
Is there much of a market, given that they already use the tools mentioned?

Genuinely curious. I've always hated sales but would love to work on making existing solutions better.
Valuations are also about the future based on current adoption trends. It's like asking why did facebook pay so much for whatsapp, it's because it was very close to pulling a tiktok on FB themselves. They had half a billion people and was the defacto network effect locked in messenger for most of the smartphone world outside of China and the USA & Canada, on top of being extremely more staff efficient. If they bothered to add social networking, it would've been the beginning of the end for FB in those markets, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was a WIP in WhatsApp when acquisition talks were happening.

Figma was pretty much acting like the whatsapp to core parts of adobe business based on adoption. If they let it go on further, a similar thing would've happened.
I have an idea for rcmd -- if possible, it would be great to be able to assign a right-cmd-key to <whatever Safari tab is running mail.google.com> -- or open one if none is. Likewise for calendar.google.com and probably others. I'd pay an extra few dollars for that feature, as I'm forever opening <yet another mail.google.com tab> because my tab hygiene is lacking.

I read your piece on window switching -- would AppleScript work? This works:

tell application "Safari"
tell item 4 of windows
set the current tab to item 3 of the tabs
set the index to 1
end tell
activate
end tell
Reminds me of Adventure Time Season 4, episode 10: Goliad

https://adventuretime.fandom.com/wiki/Goliad_(episode)

(Spoilers follow)

> Princess Bubblegum is concerned over her mortality, and reveals her designated successor to Finn and Jake. However, things get out of control when the heir turns against Princess Bubblegum.

> […] The heir is Goliad, a pink Sphinx with a mound on her forehead […]

> […] Goliad reveals that her mound concealed a third eye, and proceeds to psychically control Finn and the obstacles in the course for a perfect completion. She explains that with her in control, everything would be perfect. […]

> […]

> […] Finn and Jake confront Goliad but are beaten by her psychic powers. Goliad tries to read Finn's mind, and Finn narrowly avoids revealing the plan by interrupting his memories with nonsense. The new creature; another sphinx with an eagle's head, white feathers, and golden hair; rescues Finn and battles Goliad. Goliad tries to convince her brother, named Stormo, that they should work together, but Stormo refuses by screeching. They engage in a psychic showdown, but with their powers matched the two creatures are eternally locked in a mental stalemate.
Their processor is Lithic. Which is them. Haha.
This is the best tool I'll use once and then never the name of again.
Those positions don't always exist and even when they do, they'd don't necessarily convey any meaningful benefits of hierarchy. Take the !kung for example [0].

That said, I suspect you'll find that answer unsatisfying. Part of the issue here is that there isn't a single answer to give or a single ivory tower consensus to speak to. If you only want the anthro 101 description you'll find in most textbooks, I already gave it: Modern forager societies are described as "relatively egalitarian". It's not perfect (what simplification for undergrads is?), but it communicates the broad strokes.

If you want a deep, comprehensive dive into the literature, there are dozens of distinct and nuanced perspectives that refine that oversimplified model for particular groups, regions, periods, etc. I have one perspective, DoE advocates another, etc. I'd recommend "Lifeways of Hunter-Gatherers" as an introduction to that topic, but really you're going to have to put in a few months of reading to get a good sense of the literature because there ultimately isn't a single framework or even a single set of frameworks that everyone uses. Another good introduction to this question more specifically is Boehm's "Hierarchy in the forest". It's not comprehensive either, but it's sort of a landmark work on the topic.

At no point have Democrats had the ability to legalise abortion with members like Manchin in the party.

And the idea they wouldn't do it anyway for fund-raising reasons is a disgraceful claim to make.

Just slipped that in there; nothing to see here, move along, move along.

I don’t know how many standard deviations away from normal this is, but it’s apparently a lot: — once in centuries — a lot.

But I’m sure it’s nothing. And absolutely sure it’s not … the thing. Cause it’s not.

What is the value of that model if it's wrong? Just make up your own "paradigm" to fit your 21st century political views, throw in a disdainful mention of "neoliberal" something or other, straw-man centuries worth of history writing you skimmed over in college, and Bob's your uncle.
Native Spanish speaker here (ES-MX, specifically, if it matters). I think this is one of the cases where a solid general rule breaks down in the specifics.

You are correct about the difference between "ser" (to be, permanently/over an indeterminate time) and "estar" (to be in a particular state right now). But "No soy feliz" sounds perfectly idiomatic to me, even for a relatively transient state of sadness. ("No estoy feliz" doesn't sound wrong to me either, but feels just slightly less natural than "No soy feliz" even in a context like "No soy feliz ahorita", with an explicit "right now").

As a note: "No estoy contento" (Also "I am not happy", or maybe "I am not in a good mood") is definitely "estoy", rather than "soy". No clue why "No soy feliz" does feel idiomatic.
When people idolize things, they put that thing on a pedestal, and as soon as that thing slips up, they quickly abandon it. Google's first layoff probably isn't enough to damage its image, but if they don't keep that mystique and aura of prestige, they could find their fanbase drying up.
You can also add the Music Recognition/Shazam tile to control centre and long press on it for the history with no additional apps, but it's very hidden. I wonder why apple is not shipping Shazam or some sort of UIs by default.
Over the decades I have come to dislike templates and various architecture formats, I seem to always waste time catering to the tool and format and not enough time communicating what’s important.

I mostly do free-form diagramming, mostly of process level architecture and integrations.

I haven’t looked at class level diagrams in years, which maybe says something about the limits of OOP and composition over inheritance.

On the data side I do like to have a stripped down ER diagram. By stripped down I mean a focus on the key tables and relationships, not every little table and key out there.

The purpose is always to show how data flows, where bottlenecks may be, how scaling happens, and how other non functional requirements are satisfied. Try to keep them simple and to the point, and do try to maintain them (at a minimum, date them!).

Outside of something specialized like a sequence diagram I actually usually just use Keynote.
While it’s true that knives and guns have both legal and illegal uses, it’s another straw man in this context, irrelevant to both neural networks and copyright law. In the case of neural networks, you’re distributing the copied material along with the tool, in the form of network weights, thus breaking the law by distribution whenever the network can reproduce significant portions of any of its individual training samples, or whenever you didn’t have legal permission to use the source training material.

> If you understand that the model is a tool, and that as a tool it can be used to generate activity that can violate laws and be used for other perfectly legal activities, then as a broad principle the distribution of said tool is not a violation of said laws

That statement is incorrect, the logic is flawed. Just because a tool has both legal and illegal uses does not necessarily have any bearing whatsoever on whether the tool’s distribution is legal. Tools that are illegal to distribute can have legal uses, and that does not make them legal to distribute.
This is useless operator. I can't imagine many places where it could be useful.
Cost effective at doing what?
Me too. I'd expect "Using WiFi Routers to Produce 3D Images of Humans" if it were present tense.
I love simple bootstrap sites. If you want to monetize it make all of the sportsbook names into affiliate links. Some books are offering really good terms (20-30% revshare + fixed amount per signup). See https://www.bestfightodds.com/ if you want a site that does this for MMA rather nicely - they were acquired by a subsidiary of Catena Media last year, they have an extensive portfolio of sites like this. If you eventually add historical data people will scrape your site and try to clone it so that may be a problem. Another idea: I don't really know anything about golf but scraping sites like https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.46970.jon-rahm.html and making player pages or tooltips that show up when you hover over a player name that might be useful. If you can make a site that bettors regularly go to you can make a lot of money.
They don't really need to explicitly cut TC, it's already being cut by the stock value dropping a lot and no new stock grants being given out, on top of a general %25 inflation in pricing in almost everything with no concordant compensation bump. Annual refreshers / raises this year are probably going to be reduced.

Voila! Tech worker comp was just dropped %20 and you didn't even need to make it obvious!

I resonate a lot with what you are saying.

Although Mogul was originally built for professional networking, I personally use it to maintain personal relationships (it’s amazing to see how impactful it is when you can recall super small details about someone/a convo with a friend).

Thanks for sharing this.
"Your metaphor fails to indicate the dependence of AI on data." I'm not sure how you conclude that; the post you're responding to says exactly "...conditioned on some historical data." No historical data, no conditioning, and therefore no AI, just random bits.

And fwiw, you could say much the same about human beings. There must be an environment producing our oxygen, water, food. Indeed, it's not clear what a single human raised in isolation would be like, even assuming the oxygen, water, food. Not very intelligent seeming, I would guess; perhaps not even with much of a language. Fortunately, no one has performed the experiment, but we've come close: deaf people raised by non-deaf parents in a non-deaf community appear to have a sparse sort of sign language. Only when they're put together with other deaf people does a more typical, fluent sign language arise, with a full grammar. (This we know from the deaf people in Nicaragua.)
What's non-boring assignment? Every assignment in Java is boring. This is just bad flow analyzer and that's about it.

Sure they will.

Wasn't this supposed to include one of the "guay" countries as well?
I'm afraid I was not familiar, although I'm looking at a few related papers on the arxiv now.

What brought that approach to mind?
Big fan of C4. It's so simple most devs can contribute once some groundwork (initial diagrams) are done. Benefit is that software architecture is owned by the team, not just the architect.

Haven't used arc42. Seems mostly a German thing. Has anyone outside German speaking countries experience with it?
Presidents, popes, and dictators-for-life exist, too. That does not mean that every organized group of people needs one. If you want examples, read the book. It is right there.
Jeff Dean even posted on G+ about how he essentially independently invented a variant of pagerank at DEC, but his supposed collaborator couldn't figure out how to open a tar archive, and that was the proximate cause of his leaving DEC.
So roughly third lives in "big" cities (50+k pop), third in small cities and towns, and a third in non-incorporated place. Even knowing that US is rural, that last figure is still somewhat surprising.
How do you market this
Nit: In a graph with negative cycles, shortest paths are still well-defined for vertices s to t if there is no path from s to a negative cycle or if there is no path from a negative cycle to t.

In the simplest case, suppose you have a graph with exactly one negative cycle that is completely isolated from the rest of the graph. The shortest paths between vertices in the negative cycle are not well-defined, but the shortest paths in the rest of the graph are well-defined.

In general, look at the meta-DAG induced by the SCC decomposition of the graph. Mark any meta-vertices whose SCC contains some negative cycle. For s, t in the original graph, the distance from s to t is well-defined iff there exists no path from s's meta-vertex to t's meta-vertex in the meta-graph that traverses through a marked meta-vertex. (Proof left to the reader.)
Of course. But Java could recognize if any potentially-throwing code is executed within the try block after the assignment, similar to how it tracks where checked exceptions are being thrown.

Meaning, when needed you could still always do:

final Foo foo;
try {
Foo tmpFoo = bar(baz);
otherFunction();
foo = tmpFoo;
} catch (SomeException ex) {
foo = SOME_DEFAULT;
}

But at present the "best" (besides introducing a separate method) you can do is

final Foo foo;
Foo tmpFoo;
try {
tmpFoo = bar(baz);
otherFunction();
} catch (SomeException ex) {
tmpFoo = SOME_DEFAULT;
}
foo = tmpFoo;

Which has the drawbacks that (a) the compiler doesn't check that tmpFoo is assigned exactly once (because you can't make it final), and (b) tmpFoo stays around for the rest of the scope, with the risk of being misused later.

I would understand if an excemption is being made for Errors, because in princible any JVM bytecode instruction could probably throw one, but not for regular Exceptions.

Given that Larry + Sergey still control Google (>50% shareholder votes), seem prudent to meet with who controls the company to debrief them on current events & action plan.
Thanks for sharing this! i feel this is a cautionary tale for us HN-minded folks since i see a rather unusual love for the look and feel of the "old internet", and what i like to call the Craigslist style of design. As someone who remembers the internet of the 90s and early 2000s before it was taken over by ads and SEO spam,
i understand the nostalgia, but as a web developer, also know that i need to do right by my clients and build things for them that make their businesses successful. An old outdated website turns away many customers.
Wirral fishermen in dreamland as River Mersey makes a comeback
I don't know, dinosaurs were around for hundreds of millions of years or more, and while they evolved, they never evolved intelligence. It only happened when a catastrophic event disrupted the natural equilibrium. I can't help but wonder if intelligence isn't something that tends to arise under extreme circumstances.

Maybe because he works in a relevant field for seeing certain technologies be consistently overhyped and overpromised? Also because he has really good point about predicting the future of tech whose limitations we don't really understand. It becomes a way for us to make magical predictions. AGI can do anything if you don't understand what its limits might be. Cue Ray Kurzweil.
Totally, I agree; huzzah for yt-dlp and appropriate data retention. Still though - if I want to consume relatively digestable archaeological video content, where do I go?
> I'd wager that deep many-to-many parent-child relationships are not directly visible more often is because no one has figured out good paradigms [1] to surface the functionality in a way that users would want to use most of the time

I suspect that might be a big part of the reason. I believe [0] that one big change that happens when you "upgrade" from a tree to a DAG is that you lose the ability to visualize your model in a compact and direct plaintext form

Sequences you can print an item per line, or separate by commas. Trees you can visualize with indentation, possibly decorating with some form of arrows. But DAGs seem to require you either use indirect references[1] (or duplication, which is just a more verbose and limited form of references), or give up and start drawing arrows and boxes. There's a qualitative jump in difficulty here - you (or rather, the software) needs to start thinking about layout, which is pretty much a non-issue with trees.

The biggest problems are with the evolution of the data structure. Trees and sequences don't "jump around" when you add or remove single nodes - edits cause, at worst small local rearrangement, and the rest of the tree is shifted to make/take space. DAGs are the first stage in this "from sequences to graphs" progression at which any single edit could force you to re-layout the entire visualization to keep it readable.

I have one nit though:

> And it (...) also needs to be usable on the limited screen estate of a mobile phone?

This is true now, but it wasn't true just a few years ago. Where are all the products from the last decade, that didn't have the "design for smartphones" constraint?

--

[0] - I strongly suspect this to be a mathematical fact, but I haven't encountered a proof of it.

[1] - If you want to keep parents next to their children, you're almost always forced to start doing things like:

#1=Parent1 ----v
Parent2 ---> Child1

Parent3 ---> Child2
#1# --^

... which kills readability, as now the reader has to keep a cache of those labels and dereference pointers in their head. If, instead of references (like #1#) you just duplicate the node (e.g. write "Parent1" again), the reader still has to keep a mental map of which nodes are represented multiple times in the text, and which are just similarly named.
How are those analogous? People can live perfectly fine without a child but can't without a job (unless they live at home with their parents which coincidentally a lot of hikikomori do).
Not quite the same, but for temporary problems there is a mechanism in Germany (and I think Austria and Switzerland too) where a company can cut working hours (and salary to match) and some of the difference gets paid by social security as kind-of "unemployment benefits". Was used quite a bit when COVID hit.

"> ChatGPT isn't sentient
Perhaps, perhaps not."

I'm pretty sure it's not, but I have to admit that it does a reasonable job in many situations of passing a Turing test. (Not all, it fails for example at counting.) My guess is that if Alan Turing interacted with one, he'd conclude that he needed to go back to the drawing board on his test for sentience.

Sure, it's a tech demo. If you set the brightness on the demo to 7 early on and say "This is dark," you can then turn it down to 5 later and that will seem even darker. The idea is to start at 7, not at 5, because when you have to turn it down to 3 you can't see anything.

The Craster's fight and the wall fight were both at night and looked great. But maybe they should have been a bit brighter so there was more room for the narrative dimming and actually seeing things. This all feels like betting into an empty pot, though, because the darkness of episode 3 isn't even a top-10 season 8 complaint for me.
