That’s rarely a good use of time. Complex queries might require some kind of DSL (hopefully closer to Spark than raw SQL) but we should automate data validation and row marshaling for the same reasons we automate register allocation, stack frames, and garbage collection.
I'm not arguing in favour of frame interpolation at all. Footage that was shot at 24 FPS should be displayed at 24 FPS. But footage should be shot at a higher FPS.
http://files.howtolivewiki.com/.meditation_2015/transcripts/... This came out of an attempt to strip the core meditation techniques down to completely remove the mysticism, and adjust the practice cycle for long-term solo practitioners who are agnostic or atheist and can't lean on concepts like "The Buddha" or "Lord Shiva" (although I myself am Hindu.)

The critical innovation is doing ten minute rounds of different practices, so no practice is held for very long. This seems to help a ton with "mind wanders" and surprisingly doesn't seem to impair overall progress at all. If anything the rotation of practices seems to improve overall concentration and keeps people from hallucinating because they've been staring at a blank wall for six hours!

You miss the point.

Yes, hunter/gatherer societies routinely lack hierarchies. But settled populations, throughout prehistory and history, have very often also lacked hierarchies, including in places historians insisted otherwise. And, hunter-gatherer societies have sometimes had hierarchies despite the apparent impossibility.
That is yet a different concept, where it doesn't include the full history, but without a partial clone it still pulls the entire tree for the head commit.
Doing this at scale you risk your devices being impounded at the border. This has happened to Louis Rossmann before with replacement Mac components. If you are operating at low volume it is hard to make it financially feasible and you still have a nonzero risk of impoundment(even if it is less likely).
BASIC wasn't invented in the 1980s: it was just used by PCs because it was already popular and easy to implement. Dartmouth BASIC was introduced in 1964, and it and DOPE (its immediate predecessor) were heavily derivative of FORTRAN; and BASIC was meant to run on teletypes. FORTRAN had line numbers and GOTO; and likewise BASIC did.

You and I have very different definitions of "abundance", then. 16.7 out of 1,000 births would be 611,936 for 2021 alone.

You can still have a "fullscreen editor" environment on a 320 wide display, case in point: the KC85. You could move the cursor around on screen and if there was a command under the cursor, it would be executed:

https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/kc854.html

Many applications used the same menu system and thus automatically inherited this screen editor functionality.

Apart from that, Forth also had a screen editor, you could define a new word, run it, and then move the cursor up over the original definition and modify it without having to retype everything:

https://floooh.github.io/tiny8bit/kc854.html?mod=m026&mod_im...

...the builtin KC BASIC on the other didn't have such luxury, most likely because it also needed to run on other home computer systems that didn't have this screen editor capability.

Argument from ignorance fallacy. I'd love to prove you wrong, but the fact is that it is impossible to prove.

My own experience says that there is a lot more money out there than anyone can ever hope of comprehending. A good portion of that money belongs to people who are never seen. Not everyone tries to be a public figure. Not everyone is in the US. I just saw a video of a G-Wagon in Saigon (~$650k)... Vietnam is a very poor country on the outside, but you'd be astonished how much money people have there.

The amount of money in crypto is staggering. I know of people who started mining ETH from day one... and didn't stop. I can only imagine their wealth. It would be easy for them to sell off chunks over the last 4 years without anyone noticing.

Needless to say, I'm sure that if someone wanted to get rid of it, they could. It might take some time and effort, but when you have god levels of money, all you have is time.
Neither have I, but why would one be different from the other?
I've given up on poetry. I still to this day can't get it to use the active version of python, which you'd think would be the default. Even after setting the config flag. Setting the config flag somehow made things worse, all my poetry envs started using the wrong python. I can't even force it to use the version I want with 'env use /path/to/python', I can only pass stuff like 'env use 3.9'. What the hell is 3.9? I want to pass a specific path to a version I have.
Well for a messages app it either needs a background service polling the server for new messages or it needs to use Firebase Cloud Messaging. AFAIK, FCM is essentially a service running on your phone that receives messages from Google's servers and forwards them to your apps. And backend servers can send messages to those Google servers.

But the AI is (supposedly) not making a copy of your painting. It is ingesting it, and adjusting it's internal "model of what a good painting looks like" to accommodate the information it gleaned from your work. This seems more similar to what a human might do, when they draw inspiration from another's work. The question is - to what extent does the exact image of your painting remain within the AI's data matrices? That, no-one knows for sure.

In the real world we have atoms, but atoms are disturbances in the wave function of the universe, which may not be discrete.

We know atoms pop in and out of existence in matter anti-matter pairs. Maybe the universe is performing Banach Tarski under the hood, to make something from nothing?

> we use floating-point numbers, not reals, when doing actual calculations

I don't believe only calculations made by computers to be "actual calculations". Humans were calculating thousands of years before computers were invented, using integer or real numbers (e.g pi).
That's just inflation and inequality spiral. You'd need to extract taxes more efficiently from landlords.

My idea for that is progressive property tax.

The more property you own, the higher percentage of its value you pay each year as a tax.
We already had that, it was called COVID relief spending and was championed by both political parties.
for a lot of 80s computers the command line / basic environment was an interactive thing. It would immediately execute your commands. Some of those commands were for listing contents on disks and loading programs from disk/tapes. The simplest way to add the ability to build up a basic program on a command line is by a simple line editor where you get the classic '10 PRINT "Hello World"' which would immediately store away that line of code. Towards the end of my 8 bit days there were screen editors for things like doing 6502 assembly, and there was this cool language called "Action!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action!_(programming_language) which also had a screen editor.

Could we label these groups we're talking about? I think you're replying to someone talking about the GOP in the House but you appear to be referring to the Dems in the House.
No, I just don't find it unreasonable that it responds that way.

It's statistics and it's not really "inventing" anything and it's not magic either and it's not hard to conceive why we get that answer. Again not trying to downplay it, it's a cool technology, It's just if you go calmly and think about it, it's fairly reasonable.

If I search the internet, I'd see many, many people talking about the dangers of running `rm -rf /`, I also see examples of other errors ChatGPT has returned when that command was entered, such as "bash not found", which is also what others have experienced and I can find examples of that on the internet.

So basically the response I was given would be weighted very highly on ChatGTPs list of things to do / say, based on the training data, or a 5 minute Google search.

I'm not anti-ai, or ChatGPT, I'm just not into believing in magic when it comes to LLMs.

If ChatGPT was magic, and didn't return that response, would it be useful ?
An important benefit of static constructor methods is that they allow you to switch class implementations between a final class and an abstract class with private subclasses, without breaking compatibility. With regular constructors, you are prevented from switching to subclass implementations later. Static constructor methods thus decouple client code more from implementation decisions.

Another benefit is being able to name different constructors differently.

If I were to design a new OO language, I would make it so that constructors always work like that in the first place, from the caller perspective.
Great point. I might need an entirely separate landing page for the artist/general audience vs the prosumer type landing page that currently exists.

(If you’re interested, the gist is that custom models allow for completely distinct “styles” as well as unique characters. For example, if you wanted to generate art in the style of Monet, you could train a custom model in that style)
You are correct, but I'd say this one is fundamentally ambiguous (I'm Portuguese myself, where this also applies), as it is a one-to-two mapping here. Without further context you can't really choose one or the other, so we just left it as is :).
Sundar's weakness is the cause of this, and unfortunately Page and Brin have never been extraordinarily effective executives.

To your previous comment upthread, GPT-3 is about the complexity of a rat brain.

Do rats have feelings? I don't know, as we share a common ancestor it might just be an anthropomorphisation of shared mammalian reflexes that makes me think rats act like they have them.

Does GPT-3? I don't know, but it's a very good actor, so I can't even infer anything from the fact it can act like it has them — after all a VHS player can also perfectly reproduce human emotional affect.

Is GPT-3 more like a VHS or more like a rat? I see aspects of both in it. I don't see a way to more than guess at which aspect makes a difference.

A rat brain has to keep doing rat things to stay alive, but GPT-3 can use the same parameter space to instead communicate in Spanish and Mandarin, to answer physics questions and write poetry and Python. The "staying alive" process might, or might not, have anything to do with conciseness, but even if consciousness in vivo is about the process of staying alive, there is no obvious reason to think the process/structure cannot be replicated in-silico.

Trees can't do any of those things that LLMs and diffusion models can do.
Atoms move according to path integrals which would be at least countably infinite in number even if time and space were discrete because they are allowed to loop back on themselves.
In my case I imported my Rdio history so it’s possible that something went wrong with a difference between loading albums & seeding the recommendation engine. It was really weird because I was expecting better based on most of the other users I knew.

Hierarchies are not, in fact, "heavily part of human behavior". They appear in certain circumstances, and dissipate when the circumstances do. G&W point out that we are brainwashed otherwise. I see it as a case of learned helplessness.

It is deeply evident that big construction projects have often not required hierarchy beyond deference to an architect. The architect need have no coercive authority over anybody for this to work.

Maybe in the 2.4 -> 2.7 transitions - Python3 after about 3.6 is pretty good, you might see some minor package breakage if you're running the very latest version, but that's fairly rare.

Generally speaking, if you're on a modern OS - like recent Ubuntu LTS or MacOS you're getting 3.8 -> 3.10 and compatibility is very good in these releases.
How much does this make for you?

I think additional taxation needs to happen regardless. Right now and a UBI future. We're already in a spiral.
Au contraire, the leap of logic is assuming that computer programs could never be sentient. We simply don’t have any proof either way, so we have to assume the possibility.
Hmm, maybe we need to make the pricing pop more :D.
Totally agree with you here.

I've got 25 pages left to read. It has taken me longer to read than any book in recent memory. It's not badly written, but particularly at the end it looses focus, and consequently I have too. I hope to finish it by the end of the month, but I've been saying that for more than 7 months.
Do you have access to cloud masks? I'd like to see that. If I'm looking for a small area I'll take 80% coverage if what I want to see is clear.

Speaking small areas, let me draw the exact area I want to buy. Intersect that with the footprints, and let me select from that. I'll pay for the minimum area, that's fine. But forcing the 5km2 means I get options that don't actually cover my AOI.
With all those smart trillion weights models, can't they figure out which page is a useless keyword trap (90% of what google search finds these days) and which is a genuine useful page? Would be a huge help.

I feel you are making a valid point here, but I have to demur where you say “…just as language models can do.” Current LLMs do not appear to have any concept of self, let alone a theory of mind - the notion that other people think of themselves the same way as one thinks about oneself (in fact, they don’t appear to have have any concept of language as being about an external world that exists independently of what is said about it.)

An LLM can sometimes be prompted to give a response that looks like an explanation for how it came up with a previous response, but it is important to realize that the actual process by which it came to make the original response bears no relationship to the “explanation” it gave. Because everyone's experience with language has been with human-generated language, which is often not completely rational but, when it is not, often deviates in ways we intuitively understand, it is difficult to see the responses of current LLMs as being fundamentally different, even when we know they are.
Huh, that's good feedback, thanks for pointing it out - I don't think we had considered the workflow of a user downloading all the decks back to back.

You still have the problem that the super class might not be fully initialized when the overridden method is executed.

Calling overridable methods from a constructor is just a bad idea in general.

It's social contagion all the way down. A lot of people have noted that small tech companies tend to imitate Google. But I think that Google is now looking at the state of the industry and trying to get ahead of trends too (reactive rather than a market maker). So it causes this amplification loop where big tech copies small tech, who are copying big tech.

There are a bunch of estimates on this, and I would say based on what we've seen lately with FTX that there is likely an even larger amount of fraud in the system than is known. Yes the USD is also used for illicit activity, but thats just cash, and we actively try to stop it.
What do you expect? A ticketed event for a price? Then you'll still moan about any rich douchebag being able to buy their way in. An "anyone can join" event? Then all the people with influence will just be busy because all their fans will want a selfie. The G7/8/20 is a forum where world leaders can have private conversations and maybe get other leaders to see things from their perspective and change their minds, what about doing the same with CEO's of big corps, who also run the world, whether you like it or not...

It's not like the WEF is super exclusive, I remember seeing a job offer from a small tech company who got bought for 10M Euro, I read about this company's history and found the founder's Facebook page. He had pictures of a prop plane, I think he spent some of the money learning to fly, and 2-3 pics where he's in Davos, including a blurry selfie of him standing in line for lunch at the WEF in front of Bill Clinton.

??? I just tried this on Java 8 and it compiles fine.
Just because it can pass the test doesn't mean that its behavior will be consistently correct. Trusting ChatGPT in medical applications is the same as trusting it in programming applications: It will work for simple to intermediate tasks and may even look as though its explaining itself properly, but for specialized tasks, sufficiently complicated ones, and even in simple tasks, it can't be expected to product correct results consistently.
Thanks. Updated the post to be more clear. :)
