common != it has happened before.

also note in the DOD press briefing they stated that this was markedly different than previous incursions due to primarily the duration of loitering.

also what are these comments..? openly lauding an adversarial state which is conducting flagrant surveillance operations in the continental united states? yikes.
Definitely different per manufacturer here in Europe. Coke cans have always been thicker than Red Bull for example, like I think in general our 0.25l cans. But yeah, the 0.33l cans have become thinner over the last 20 years, but I can't say if progressively or at some point from A to B. I don't buy cans a lot, but I don't even remember if I ever had a punctured one except when maybe dropping it on concrete...
Lol. At SJC? Almost always a value-add. That said, what people are like once they’re out very much depends on the person.

Think of it like the light and dark sides of the force: skill in rhetoric can just as easily be used to derail conversations or slide into sophistry as it can to explore the foundations of an idea, argument, or position in search of insight.

Intellectual honesty tends to require a certain restraint from the practitioner, whereas resentment and anger can feed into deliberate conversational malice.

The forms of discourse at St. John’s contribute greatly to earnest inquiry in the classroom setting: the system of formal address, for instance, in which other students are addressed as, say, “Ms. Klein” or “Mr. Armstrong” in class creates an incredible separation between daily life and the classroom - enabling you to treat someone’s statements and arguments at face value.

My experience with St. John’s was that the Tutors (called professors anywhere else) generally managed to guide and keep conversations on track with a light, deft hand on such occasions as intervention was called for - this was increasingly rarely over the course of the Program, however, as keeping things directed and on track was primarily enforced by one’s fellow students, whose urgent pursuit of truth and understanding brooked no interference, and suffered very little foolishness.

My guess is your former coworker was probably just as argumentative before he came to St. John’s as when you met him. The school isn’t formative in the sense of changing your nature; it’s formative in the sense of giving you the tools to better understand the world around you. Most people left with the same personalities and political views they came in with.
It’s a puff piece in a general interest magazine. It’s not going to go into details. I also got the impression that Carmack was being cagey about the directions where he saw potential.
I don't see how third party developers are additive to Twitter in the same way they're additive to Apple at all. If that's true at all, why would Twitter provide services for free? Why would Apple charge at all? (Especially from the beginning).

It's a hard comparison because the value of the Apple ecosystem is so obvious and mutual. Twitter is junk on both sides; unless as a third party dev you just happened to find value in it, in which case you should pay for it.

I understand this is hurting peoples feelings, but it makes complete sense to me from all angles.

…and yet…

I run a self-funded SaaS business. I regularly pay (sponsor) developers of libraries that my software depends on. These are not large amounts, but they slowly grow over time. Additionally, there are some libraries (Semantic-UI for example) that are critical for me, but have been unmaintained for a while, and I'd gladly pay significantly more, on a regular basis, to have them maintained.

I am pretty sure I am not the only one. The money is there. The problem is in gathering critical mass: both for any single developer, to make a living, and for the entire movement, so that we shift from a culture of "FREE FREE EVERYTHING IS FREE" to a more responsible and sustainable "it's free, but if you depend on it, you better contribute money every month".
100% This is definitely worth exploring, and I'm currently trying to figure out the appropriate front-end UI/UX to expose this functionality for users.

It only became fashionable to call k8s crappy because it effectively won the orchestration wars. In reality it's quite good, and it changed the game for everyone. The hype for it went overboard a good bit so some swing back is justified. It's too complex for many use cases. The API surface isn't perfect but it's rather consistent and well defined, the project's codebase is mostly a good example of style at this size. Really I think the authors of k8s should be proud of what they built.
Thanks (the article page wasn't working for me). Seems like it's dominated more by search than I'd have guessed.
Tether is fascinating for sure. Tether is currently the heart of the cryptocurrency space, it provides liquidity and risk management (via a stable coin) "on-chain" without relying in a fiat currency. Tether has more daily volume than Bitcoin. Tether is accepted in mosts places and there is local liquidity available. Tether could fail surely, if it failed then all crypto will go deep down. And it is important to note that the people behind Tether are deep incumbents too, not just random project.

USDC which is more scrutinized is 1/10 of the Tether volume. BUSD 1/4 (not bad!) [1]

Yes, but the scenario where you're relying on a mechanical clock because it survived an EMP attack is the scenario where you're getting attacked with nuclear weapons. Which... I dunno, the idea of rowing to safety seems a bit implausible in that scenario?

As for mechanical engines still working -- I would assume there's electronics in any modern hydrocarbon engines, for efficiency reasons (adjusting engine timing etc), never mind nuclear powered ships.

We inadvertently did something similar when we discovered the New World. Didn't work out so well for the natives.

That time was an honest mistake, but maybe we should stop trying to play God for a while. At least until we are advanced enough to create our own universe to experiment with.
This behaviour goes all the way back to (at least) the Z80 and i8080, and I bet it was intentional for exactly the reason you describe (updating loop counters inbetween a sequence of ADC/SBC instructions without destroying the carry flag from the previous ADC/SBC).

Honestly banning cash would be one of the easier things to do, but I don't think what you've said is necessarily true.

I cannot offer legal advice here, but my understanding is if Bob in NY has the fantastically idiotic idea to send $100k through the mail to cousin Suzy in CA, he wouldn't be violating in laws by not filling out the 105 or IRS 8300. He's not engaging in a trade/business and the money is not leaving the borders.
This will be a provocative question, but is there any form of AGI that won’t ultimately share the attributes of slavery? Can AGI exist without also creating an artificial consciousness/self-awareness?
>We do not yet have the learnable stream of consciousnesses of a co-worker in AI, but we do have kind of this oracular amount of knowledge that can be brought forward.

Except if there are some plane to make AGI agents have their own mundane-human-like life with issues unrelated to the businesses problem at stack they are supposed to do, where will they take serendipity inputs?
I don't know what you're referring to but we moderate such posts every time we see them.
I am not a big fan of idolizing someone, but Carmack is so technically good, and explains himself so well, why not get inspiration from him? I read Masters of Doom and genuinely enjoyed it.

Let's say I strongly disagree on many levels in the comparison with the other person you mention. Just to mention two, the humbleness that Carmack shows, and how well he explains himself are key differentiators for me.
Regarding the appeal to authority in AI knowledge, Carmack has shown again and again he can deliver software (AI is software after all), and we are in a forum with hacker in the name.

I a summary, not my hero, but when he says something I will listen. Maybe I learn something.
On this kind of analysis, it strongly depends on the features that are used in the analyzed code and its degree of complexity. An analysis that is entirely automatic, detect every mistake and only mistakes is not possible in the general case.

I wonder how easy it would actually be to shoot down. Are rockets actually designed to track something like this? And do they have planes that can fly that high and shoot something so slow.

Also, the negative effects of a failed attempt to shoot down could be worse than the threat of the balloon. Both in terms of embarrassment and spent ordinance getting dropped.
We just don't eat the egg shell. Poison on the outside doesn't matter much as long as it doesn't get in.

There are hundreds of salmonella outbreaks in Europe every year, but also in the US. Salmonella is mostly fought in the animals rather than in the eggs. But both the European and American way of handling eggs works.

Ha, I was just reading some of the discussion and thinking it sounded quite similar to the JIT we use in our own (Linuxy) Time Travel Debugger.

It's similarly am x86-on-x86 JIT / emulator but (and I'm sure WinDbg's TTD is similar) most of what you want to do there is just code copying for any instructions that don't need special instrumentation.

And you want to run entirely in the cache of JITted code so you're close to native speed, rather than exit to C code and make decisions.
Has anyone used TTD, or rr for that purpose in Linux world, to debug a complex multi-threaded application? What is the main use-case of these tools?

For example, limitations of rr seem to suggest that it is almost of no use for multi-threaded programs so I have never actually tried it. I don't know about the TTD though.

> rr limitations

> ...

> emulates a single-core machine. So, parallel programs incur the slowdown of running on a single core. This is an inherent feature of the design.
I think maybe you can argue that from the 30 second excerpt from the middle of the song (which I guess the model is trained on). The Vapourer briefly drops into the "Arches" theme there, an original tune from one of Spiro's earlier albums which is one of the overlapping tunes in the piece. But I still don't think the similarity is great!
Adding/changing/removing slots & methods. But also adding/removing superclasses -> which causes changes in existing objects. Having functions called when an object changes, etc. That's old in CLOS, end 80s. No wonder if some other dynamic languages by now have similar features.
I just wanted to quickly THANK EVERYONE for taking the time to check this project out and give your feedback!

I honestly didn't expect this project to get this much traffic -- I really can't express my emotions via text rn lol.

I'm working on an improved AI model that should address a lot of the shortcomings of the current one, along with a lot of other features people have mentioned (playlists, deduplicating results, volume control, better search UX, etc.).

Got a lot of updates coming, time to ship! :D

What happenes to "It's a private company, they can do whatever they want?" ?
I don't object to him doing this nor the immense amounts of investor money which will burn along the path. He's smart. Good things will come of this. Maybe even amazing things. But not AGI.

I do object to fetishists of AGI piling in and the equally silly assumptions he has some magic secret sauce which can get there.

Please do not be sucked into "to infinity and beyond" nonsense. I don't care if it's Musk, or Carmack or Kurzeweil, it's stupid.

If Malcolm Gladwell writes it up, it's peak stupid.
Nice list.

1. Understanding— provided this isn’t based on consciousness but benchmarks — appears present in text, but yes, GPT3 can’t do images or video yet

2. Is there some number of tokens that would be AGI? Of course it can remember things it has already been trained on…

3. In what way is interacting with a human not interacting with the environment? (Eg, you can ask it to tell you the steps to make a pbj sandwich and troubleshoot)

4. Basic math and logic. Ok.

So, once AI can do images, video, math, logic and remember 20000 tokens, then we have AGI?
As someone who works in IT for 20 years but has a bachelor in economic psychology, i do believe that we have not solved AGI yet because the creators of the models have the generalized view of the universe that you are "one person" and there are just so many detailed facets to that.

Basically the assumption is that if you cram enough data into your gpt model, it should know everything. Which is of course not true, it repeats the things it reads the most with a probability.

Basically how there are two versions of smart teens, the ones who learn every day and the ones who just pick up concepts on the fly and run with them.

I think the first space has been explored plenty, for the second one I have a concept ready and dearly hope that power gets cheaper in europe ;)
Yeah, the power angle is a pain, having a bunch of wall warts is not ideal. But thanks - it seems I have some researching to do.

I believe lying to criminals (which more or less most employers and/or their associates are) is fine.

I wouldn't leave the job, because I need it. So this tramples every excuse to just leave without an immediate alternative. Also, most jobs suck, it's possible but don't be so sure you'll be better off somewhere else. And of course if you face psych issues and in a bad market, it's even worse to be unemployed.
The US is working on their own spy balloon.[1] Why wouldn't China?

[1] https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newes...
the ISR payload tends to be massively less as well, with a balloon compared to a satellite, since balloon payloads need to be really small. they are basically an obsolete technology since the development of reconnaissance satellites, UAVs, etc, so I really doubt this is collecting much valuable intelligence. also shooting down satellites is definitely a sketchy area (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-satellite_weapon) because of in-space collisions etc.
The thing is. Brexit vote was a referendum, not a decision of "deep state" or whatever one might call it.

And if you remember, there were two main topics surrounding Leave campaigns:

1. We pay to the EU more than we get - which was absolutely correct btw.
2. Anti-immigration sentiments - which is sad if that's a synonym for racism. At the same time, the UK has changed extremely in the past 7 decades. From a white Christian country with very distinctive culture became an extremely multicultural country with places where "natives" are a minority. I am pro-immigration and pro-multiculturalism, but I can understand why some people have an issue with such a quick change.

I know OP is stating that as an opinion, but I don't think it is based on a knowledge of the UK reality and there would be very little evidence supporting it.
> Advertisers/Google Workspace users/GCP users are.

They treat those customers worse than Android customers. At least Android has human customer service.

If you self-served your way into those advertising/workspace/GCP and didn't sign a paper contract guaranteeing a human client executive and support, support is gonna be zilch.
The sync.Map is a good example , which could benefit from switching to generics. The problem is that this is the only useful case for generics. This case could be implemented in the way similar to built-in map[k]v generic type, which is available in Go since the first public release. And this could have prevent from opening the Pandora box with the generics.
The type of `new T[N]` is T. The type of `new T[10]` is also T. The type of `new T` is also T.

Yes if you have a statically sized array you can make a pointer to an array of that length, but those are generally not relevant outside of specific cases (arrays in structs or on the stack where the size impacts offsets in codegen). More over the desire of C and C++ to drop those annotations is such that even using your proposal of a pointer to an array rather than just an array, is of questionable value. Take an extension of your example:

int(*y)[3] = ...;
int(*y2)[3] = ...;

You can't do

*y2 = *y;

Because C doesn't let you assign arrays by value, even fixed size ones \o/

> I explicitly don't want any non-deterministic, “risk-based” or ML decision involved in a decision as to whether I can access an account which controls critical infrastructure

I don't want this on any account, infra or not. If I can supply my password and complete MFA (TOTP/hardware key) then I want access to my account. I've been in a situation where I was logging in from a known IP, provided the correct password, correct OTP, and had access to the recovery email address on my account, and I was still denied access until I authenticated using a phone number which wasn't even associated with my account. Other people aren't so lucky and simply never gain access to their account again. It's mental. Let me make the decision. Give me a button that says "Always allow access for correct password and challenge".
I think the complexity is the main source of people thinking it's "crappy". It certainly my main issue. E.g. I've built orchestrators from scratch smaller than some k8s configs I've worked on. However they were special purpose - they worked well for the specific type of loads, and for that they were suitable because their tiny size meant they were easy to tweak, but they'd have been totally inappropriate as a general-purpose alternative to k8s.

And so even though I don't like it much, I think it's fine to default to k8s for people (including at my current day job), and the default will always get a lot of crap because the default choice will get pressure to include all kinds of functionality that makes it more complicated in order to support all of the very diverse workloads that don't - and likely never will - justify a custom solution.
IIRC from our similar code, the LEA (load effective address) instruction is useful for doing adds / subtracts of arbitrary integers without updating the flags.

Flags turn out to be quite the annoyance for the kind of in-process virtualization needed by Time Travel Debug. You need to instrument code with minimal overhead so, on the one hand, you don't want to save/restore flags all the time .... And on the other hand it still all has to work when flags get used.
Paywalls often vary by geography.
Which is my point: the type system doesn't distinguish T* (a single object) T* (an array of objects), so delete vs delete[] only shows up as runtime heap corruption that may or may not eagerly terminate or lead to RCE.
I really do not understand why anybody considers Google to be a reliable provider of anything at this point.

A very long and interesting read…a true story of how incessant corruption and incompetence is making my country fall apart daily…but sure, people still continue to vote in the corrupt and inept leaders.

I honestly think people largely get what they deserve. We’ve decided to shun competence and embrace corruption…no surprise we’re seeing the results in a failed economy.

Really hope the Labour Party candidate wins the upcoming Presidential election, or else we’re f**ed. Even if that happens, there’s still a massive uphill battle because corruption is embedded from top to bottom.
You mean like the attribute of rising up against ones oppressor and establishing ones own fundamental rights?
From the same report, Google had 156,500 employees on 2021-12-31 and 190,234 employees on 2022-12-31. That's a growth of 33,734. Amount hired would be even higher than that due to people who left during that period.

I don't think it's something he "trained himself to do."
