> Generating a convincing response and telling lies, or not, are not related.

My point exactly. GPT does the former and doesn't concern itself with the latter.

"Lie" implies an intent. There is no lie there, these are perfectly fine answers to your questions. They're just unrelated to the model, as it has no real concept of "I". You can imagine someone answering these questions that way, and that's all that matters - the model did its job well.

I have 10y experience. If that matters.
Maybe I can.

If you start from a materialist position (including from the modern scientific position), then you are inevitably faced with some kind of reductionism, and even far stronger reductionism than you are arguing. If all that exists is matter and the laws of physics, then all you can be is matter that obeys the laws of physics - nothing more. You're just a collection of atoms that obey the laws of atomic physics, assembled into molecules that obey the laws of biochemistry, assembled into neurons that obey the laws of neurology.

There is no room for choice in that view. But equally, there is no room for love. (Especially love in the highest sense, of choosing to do what's best for the other, because you can't choose anything. But even in the sense of attraction, that's just neurons and biochemicals doing their thing.) There is no room for beauty as a real thing - it's just what hits our neurons a particular way. There is no room for truth as truth. (There are things that we find convincing, in our hardware that evolved to get a good enough answer fast enough, rather than to find actual truth or to do pure logic correctly.)

There is not even room for personality. All you can be is the impersonal plus complexity - that's all "personality" can be. There is nothing more for "personality" to be but the artifact of complexity.

But that doesn't match our experience. We all experience love, even though the logic of our position says that love doesn't exist. We all make choices, even though logic says we don't actually choose. We all experience beauty and we all long for truth. And we all long for personal contact - to touch each other as persons, not just as complicated machines. We can try to live within the logic of the materialist position, but it doesn't actually fit who we are as human beings.

It's kind of like when you put a t-shirt on backwards. It covers all the places that need to be covered, but it doesn't fit right. And no matter how much you try to wiggle it around and adjust it, it just doesn't fit.

I suggest that the materialist position doesn't fit who we are as human beings, and that the lack of fit is telling us something. Either we are the products of random chance, thrown up in and by an impersonal universe, with aspirations of personality that can never be fulfilled, or we are not actually what our philosophy says we are. And I think it's the latter.

So I invite you to consider the alternative to the materialist position. If the beginning of it all was someone, rather than something impersonal, then it is possible that we could be truly personal, rather than just the impersonal plus complexity. Then we also could be able to make real choices, and to really love, and to know real truth and beauty. We could be what humans have always thought we were. But you can never have that as long as you hold to the purely materialist view.

But if you can't step out of the materialist view and consider the alternative, then no, I can't give you the example that you're asking for.

I think you read "punishment as vengeance" quite differently from how I read it.

I read "as" as "for the purpose of". With that reading, "Punishment as vengeance" would be undesirable if people's actions were pre-determined. "Punishment as deterrence" would still be desirable (via whatever mechanism allowed for a deterrence effect to exist in a world where actions were pre-determined).
Let us know what they say!
Yeah that's a lot of "gold wire gives better sound" vibes.

Yes, all of that stuff can make a slight difference, but at the end it's not going to be a determining factor in your skill.

And I bet the NSA would break your homegrown RSA built with your basic understanding of group theory in a few minutes. RSA is extremely subtle to implement correctly and if you get it wrong you can easily leak everything.

Well if you're going to be like that, then in the interview, answer all questions utterly and completely honestly. No lies of ommission or "spinning" answers to give the best first impression of yourself. So because of you now, if in an interview, someone asks me about my last boss, I'll say "he is an ignorant cunt that couldn't find his ass with both hands." Then they will say, "Wait...but you were self-employed and worked for yourself!" And I'll say, "Yes, I would not hire me under any circumstances whatsoever." I'll never get a job and starve to death, but hey, at least I'll be honest.

AI scales human intention. Or at least that’s the goal. The threat (of a lopsided Internet) we’ve already been seeing and experiencing is going to be scaled up.
So many cops live in cop neighborhoods, surrounded by their cop friends, with blue lives matter stickers & flags, going to their FOP meetings & get-togethers regularly, & all the other signifiers. Their self-identification as a cop is stronger than 90% of how anyone self-identifies about even the most intrinsic elements of themselves like ethnicity and upbringing.

Based on this comment it seems like you have a highly distorted view of what it's actually like. You're arguing against a strawman.

It's not like that at all. Possibly it's like that for a high level PM, but for a SWE, it's more about putting yourself on the right project. You certainly don't have to constantly be coming up with new products on your own.

That same logic can be applied to the current iteration of progressive leftism currently popular in online content and social media circles in a few developed western countries. Ideological internet content of many stripes are in their own bubbles that the average person in the world is not aligned with. By using online content, which is largely produced by overly-online often out-of-touch people, AI will always misalign with wider humanity.

Perhaps there should be a ChatGPT edition trained only on pre-internet published literature, private letters, and some well-written journals. But that would introduce different biases and areas of ignorance. At least it may be acceptable if properly advertised as such - "Professor Emeritus AI".

I can somewhat agree with this if we were discussing forum or comment section moderation. However in this case, due to the nature of the model which finds correlations between anything and anything else in ways that a human could never, modifying or censoring inputs and outputs prevents me from trusting the model like I should. If I'm digging deep into geopolitical issues from say an anarchist perspective, I don't want my results to be tampered with, despite their likelihood of violating the sensibilities of some archetypical silicon valley type. If I can't trust the model in one place, I can't trust it in any.

A sincere question: why should the results be mapped against statistics representing actual violence against certain groups? Why can we not consider all groups equal?
Exactly this. Same goes for RSS readers that offer Google Reader API. Both of these are definitely plus points when I'm looking for an RSS reader (on iOS) as I host my own sync service (FreshRSS) that offers both.

We can only see it on a tracker. My claim is that sort of flight route drawing predates modern tracking on the Internet by decades. GPS was released to the public in the 1980's.
Worse, perhaps. Kessler Syndrome will eventually resolve itself as junk falls out of orbit over time, or new methods for cleaning it up are developed. Information, once buried in noise, becomes unrecoverable without a source of known truth for correlation.
Is there actually a labor shortage? If this claim is qualified with "there's a shortage of labor willing to work for a pittance" then there's no labor shortage. I'm more disgusted with a business choosing profits over people, especially when we all know that Netflix budgets are generally very substantive. If the cost of getting the talent you need to produce the work is too high, turning to generative art is a band-aid for a real systemic problem with how Netflix is producing content. AI should be a tool: if the art can't be produced without it, you're really just scraping by. And that's a big red flag for Netflix's business, imo.
That's a feature, not a bug.

Maybe it's obvious manuvering like this that's to blame:

>Yet journalists are quick to defend anyone who uncovers and disseminates information, as long as it’s genuine, by whatever means and with whatever motives. Julian Assange is possibly a criminal. He certainly intervened in the 2016 election, allegedly with Russian help, to damage the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. But top newspaper editors have insisted that what Assange does is protected by the First Amendment, and the Committee to Protect Journalists has protested the charges against him.

So basically, "we're saying something that will turn our audience against him, but as an aside we mentioned that a couple organizations you've probably never heard of spoke out against something we're not going to explain, and that on balance means we're defending him."

> This is just such an ignorant take with no regard for real history.

I take issue with your inclusion of the word "just" in this sentence. I don't disagree that it is an "ignorant" (in the technical sense, not pejorative) take with ~~no~~ little regard for real history, but that isn't all ("just") that it is. Almost certainly, this behavior is a consequence of heuristic (sub-perceptual) intuition, that is as it is as a consequence of the substantial and constant training/propaganda humans have been subjected to regarding "democracy" and "conspiratorial thinking" over the last decade or so, and especially heavily during the Trump and then COVID periods.

So when questions like this arise, it genuinely(!) seems to people like government officials are trustworthy, in fact. "Seems in fact" is an oxymoron of course, demonstrating how influential cultural norms can be, and in turn how bizarre "reality" is (and why, partially).

If hackers on HN used the same logic & epistemology they use in forum discussions when they are writing code at work, imagine how much of an even bigger disaster things would be out there!! :)

While I'm at it, I should probably also take a shot at this comment from above:

>> In democracies, it really is pushed for {good reasons}.

And who is it pushed by? Politicians. And who is not asked their opinion on the matter? Voters. And what does this demonstrate? That "democracy" in practice is not a match for how it is described, not even close. And yet, day after day millions of instances of these same sorts of illusory discussions take place, here and elsewhere. It may never end.

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream....

Will Postgres Use My Index? Hypothetical Indexing for Postgres
At the system level (not the abstract virtual machine in the current specification) it is reliably known whether a null pointer dereference will return a specified value (such as zeroes), unspecified values (semi-random data), or a result in a system exception (segfault) of some sort.

The compiler must produce code that does that because it cannot determine whether a pointer is null in advance in most cases. So letting it do something different when it knows that a pointer is null (due to some sort of coding mistake) vs. when it doesn't know that the pointer is null is gratuitously non-deterministic behavior.

The safe (if somewhat slower) thing to do is to emit the same code regardless, so that a null pointer dereference has the same effect even when inadvertently inserted into the program.

The same operation should produce the same result in the same program, as much as possible anyway, and if not the same result then a similar one. It is not a reasonable assumption that any real world program will never dereference a null pointer. It is helpful that the consequence of doing so be as stable and predictable as the underlying architecture provides for.

It really wouldn't surprise me. I don't know much about aviation but I worked in the naval defense industry in France and the gap in budget and production volume with the U.S was just ludicrous.

When the U.S Navy wants a new shinny nuclear aircraft carrier, they spend billions and the manufacturer has the insurance that it will produce a few. In France, large project like aircraft carrier or nuclear subs are produced usually at a single digit volume. So they have to work hard and blow a lot of budget on R&D for years just to produce one ship. It cannot be profitable if it was not bankrolled by the state.

So yeah. Also the new F-35B looks like it is the most advanced fighter plane at the moment, so I don't think anyone can compete. The U.S defense industry is just so well funded.

I don't really see anywhere in that article where it says that you can have software development expenses that aren't R&E expenses under the new definition. Am I missing it or?

In fact it says:

> The TCJA added a special rule under Sec. 174(c)(3) for the treatment for software development costs, stating that “any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure.” Prior to this addition, taxpayers relied on Rev. Proc. 2000-50, which stated that the costs of developing computer software so closely resemble Sec. 174 R&E expenditures that a similar accounting treatment should be used. When this revenue procedure was issued, R&E expenditures were currently deducted. Under the TCJA, software development costs are treated as R&E expenses but are now subject to five- or 15-year amortization.

...which is what I am saying in my example -- software dev costs are now forced to be 5-year amortized.
The Pentium III was the around a half a gigahertz, and we were starting to get into multi-hundreds of gigabytes.

... that sounds small compared to today's specs, but IMO this is when PCs had plenty of horsepower to run "real" operating systems (32-bit preemptive multitasking), "real" browsers, 3D gaming was into it's fifth year or so, etc.

So this wouldn't be a badge where you say "wow we fit it into this impossibly limited device". The dirty secret of the PC business is that this hardware spec is more than enough for practically all productivity and browsing (and video with hardware acceleration). Now, high polygon high res high antialiased games... but that has actual hardware horsepower needs you can quantify.

The amount of wasted resources from the year 2000 to now is stupefying. Intel and AMD love it! DRAM makers love it! But as an industry we have squandered the last two decades (and the last two decades of CPU improvement), right as gigahertz scaling disappeared, Moore's law is probably going to collapse under its economic weight, Amdahl's law says parallelism won't save us forever.

So if I look at some software and wonder why this relatively straightforward app is hogging along on a PC that is effectively 10-50x faster than a Pentium III 500Mhz (8x-10x in clock speed, then massive improvements to cache, branch prediction, multiple ALUs, speculative execution)... something is wrong.
I'm unwilling by act or omission to knowingly indicate that I believe something that the Church teaches to be false. Thus, it depends on whether or not I'm being asked to participate in a deception, which I will not do. On the other hand, unlikely though it may be, if it's somehow clear that "Kevin" has no intent to deceive and is not deceiving anyone about her sex then I don't have an absolute moral objection to calling her that. This scenario is contrived and unrealistic, but it is largely a matter of prudence. Thus if I did surprisingly find myself in a similar circumstance, my actions would depend on the details.

As another Catholic commenter said, we owe Christian charity to all other human beings, including those affected by gender dysphoria. However, charity doesn't mean being "nice" or "accommodating," but it does require respecting the dignity of the human person. One way to respect that dignity is by not encouraging or condoning disordered behaviors or beliefs. I wouldn't offer a recovering alcoholic a drink, even if it was really great stuff.

That leads to another pragmatic matter. No matter what disordered beliefs or behaviors a person has (and I have my own share), we should want to help that person come to a rightly ordered place. There's really no one size fits all approach to that.

Apple Silicon is fantastic, and the integrated GPUs are fantastic. But they aren't as powerful as higher-end discrete GPUs and they probably never will be.

I'm not sure that I agree with the direction the author wants Apple to take.

It would be really nice if Apple supported Vulkan. For sure. But Valve should be the one making Proton compatible with Macs. And directly paying off studios to make Mac versions of big games is never going to produce anything of lasting quality.

Nintendo has charted a pretty successful course with the Wii, Wii U and now Switch. Apple's got better hardware than that, it just needs to be used more creatively.

It's due to non-isolated converters where an EMI filter is a part of the line side using X/Y capacitors to cross over. The device isn't solidly grounded but it's also not totally floating either. There's some leakage across it.
Without additional details it's difficult to make an accurate judgement. If the manager referred the friend and they went through the typical interview process and got the job on their own without any undue influence from the manager/friend - then the issue may be with the OP's performance or some other change on the team.

But if the manager short-circuited the typical hiring process and just stuck his friend on the team then it's clear-cut nepotism and OP can't escape it without sidelining their manager within the organization.

To be clear - the wasps that pollinate figs are very, very small, and have no stinger.

They are roughly 1.5mm (2 to 4 times smaller than a mosquito) and you will almost certainly not notice them.
99% of the time WASM is being used right now it isn't being used to manipulate the DOM, and last time I checked the actual DOM bindings for WASM didn't really work.

There was no mention of HTML and right now no one is using WASM for html, so I assumed GP meant normal WASM type stuff, not theoretical WASM-dom bindings that I haven't seen anyone use yet.
