Comes off like a rich person ignoring and walking over poor homeless people begging for food. Then when asked about it, has no understanding for how such circumstances could occur nor empathy. This would be willful obliviousness or tone deafness about the circumstances and plight of others.

> ...go about living a normal live, attend social functions, or just see other people on a regular basis, most people will be attracted to some of the people they meet along the way.

It is more of a feminine perspective and privilege to wait and hope random luck will take care of romantic matters, because mostly, males pursue females. Many women are able to get attention, as a matter of biology. Ignorance or purposely ignoring the mechanics of what is occurring in the background, with regard to why this attention exists and how it shapes the dynamics, can lead to distorted and misplaced views.

Furthermore there are clearly great numbers of people (male and female) that are shy, fear rejection or embarrassment, are socially awkward, or at some disadvantage in social settings. To pretend otherwise, seems to be making a concerted effort to remain oblivious.

> What I’m getting at, is there is no skill nor effort needed, nothing needs to be carefully evaluated and planned.

That is not a perspective many others share and when people are specifically and repeatedly saying this is not the case, it's not helpful to blatantly ignore them. For various people, and more so for men, they do need various levels of knowledge, skill, effort, and/or planning.

Unlike for other customers, the email regexer received contained more detailed information about the hack he suffered weeks prior.

“Other data related to your Google Fi account also may have been accessed without authorization, such as a zip code, and the service/emergency address associated with your account,” read the email, which regexer shared with TechCrunch. “Additionally, on January 1, 2023 for about 1 hour 48 minutes, your mobile phone service was transferred from your SIM card to another SIM card. During the time of this temporary transfer, the unauthorized access could have involved the use of your phone number to send and receive phone calls and text messages. Despite the SIM transfer, your voicemail could not have been accessed. We have restored Google Fi service to your SIM card.”
It might help quite a bit to watch this overview of how ChatGPT works, and especially how it was trained.[1]

Human attention was too expensive for the training, so they made another AI to simulate the trainers.

Unfortunately, the trainer simulator training didn't have an expressive enough set of options for the actual humans, which kept a lot of quite valuable feedback out of the whole system by reducing things to single ranking. If the person didn't know the correct answer, they'd likely just go based on gut. This in turn lead the training simulator to do the same. This lead ChatGPT to just try to bullshit an answer rather than stating it didn't know, and getting downvoted.

This seems like low-effort trolling.

What I've written is clearly observable and reproducible by anyone with basic labratory equipment.
In your anecdote, the person who cheated got into a well-regarded university and graduated (albeit a year late). That's likely to have a better long-term outcome than not cheating at high school, and going to a lower-ranked school.

Cheating worked.

> But what about ethics, you ask?

> How much AI research is asking that question at all, never mind taking it seriously?

I think quite a lot of us (speaking as a researcher) are in fact asking ethic questions. But I think there is nuance we're making decisions on that others don't get. I think there are also nuances that many artists get that we researchers don't. Unfortunately I think we're frequently speaking past one another, and worse, we like sensationalism and so this is even being encouraged. That makes us to talk in bubbles because we feel like we're not being heard and get understandably frustrated. But this is a societal issue and as such we need a lot of points of views to resolve and the bubbling effect will prevent us doing this in a useful manner. Communication in the global era is harder than we're primed to think because communication in local groups has far fewer issues and when there are issues they are often quickly resolved.
This is what I wanted Apple News to be.

I wish it would give me a good curated news feed from dozens of sources, and adapt based on feedback. I badly wanted to love it, but no matter how much I tried it ended up looking something like a mix of Buzzfeed and Murdoch propaganda.

Happy to see the idea is not dead and new companies are giving it a shot.

I think we are in agreement. Because access to the "forked" repository was removed without the consent of the owner of the fork, it is inaccurate for GitHub to describe it as a "fork". For clarity, I would also describe the "owner" of the fork as the person who created the fork.

But records don't actually offer such guarantees:

record MutableRecord(ArrayList<String> list) {}

var r = new MutableRecord(new ArrayList<>());
System.out.println(r.hashCode()); // -> 1
r.list().add("foo");
System.out.println(r.hashCode()); // -> 101605

I sort of hoped they would freeze hashcode but they don't.

The stereotype of Japan as technologically advanced persists in the West despite abundant evidence to the contrary.

Japan still uses floppy disks and fax machines. They prefer to pay in cash and will go to the bank to get crisp, fresh notes - to give old notes would be disrespectful. Banking in Japan - indeed, experience with any kind of bureaucracy at all there - makes the US DMV, or indeed any Western bureaucracy, look like the vanguard of efficiency.
Alternatively, people are tired of paying subscriptions for everything. And many SaaS actively mislead on price and employ dark patterns to make canceling difficult. It's often not worth the hassle.
Logs are one option, I've been increasingly leaning toward various canaries / telltales myself, which ... it looks as if you're doing through email at last in part, and credit card numbers, which would of course have been my next suggestion. Variant spellings of your name, or if you're ambitious, different postal mailing addresses, would be another option.

(Curiously, a lot of the methods for tracking surveillance ... are also used by marketing entities to track campaign effectiveness and such.)

On top of these, unused and obscured URLs might also be used.

I'd especially like to see what dot-connecting capabilities various entities have, and am thinking of how these might be tested, e.g., by having two not-directly-linked tokens used and seeing whether or not there's plausibly been a connection made between the two.

I'm realising that there's actually a substantial site and project behind your work, I'm going to take a look at that before I say too many more stupid things ;-)

NB: As one who read economics at Uni, I'm developing a much-belated mad respect for sociology.
This is nearly impossible to precisely study:

- Because correlation != causation, for one thing: 2.5x the number of bugs in static "style" code bases (not sure what that means) does not mean that static type systems lead to more bugs. It could be that users of dynamically typed languages find themselves needing robust automated tests more often, because they can't rely on static typings. This would suggest that in a similarly productive language, your effort would go much further with types than without, even if this measurement is accurate.

- Because measuring bugs is hard: you don't actually know how many bugs a given piece of code contains, you only know how many you found. Statically typed code contains more information about the intent of the code. Not only does this make it easier for machines to analyze, it makes it easier for humans to analyze, too. Ask anyone who does security audits whether they prefer code that has strict static type information or not.

- Because not all bugs are the same; a reputable study would need to go through great pains to classify the different kinds of bugs and determine their severity as well as determine why they happened. Counting bugs as just a number and then comparing them is like counting SLOC. It doesn't tell you anything on it's own!

> Static typing has nothing to do with code correctness, it's purely about code performance.

Uhhh... Says who? Type erasure systems offer no performance benefits at all, since the types are removed before runtime.

There are contradicting studies, that suggest static typing prevents bugs, but there's little point in trying to fight them. None of the studies I've seen feel robust or complete enough, and on top of that, what would really be helpful is a meta-analysis of multiple more robust studies so we can get an idea of the true takeaways.

Until then, there will be some subjectivity.

There's no nice way to say this: I don't trust people who treat issues like this as black and white. To me, it's a sign of immaturity as an engineer. I do of course believe that static type checking is a net win overall and that the evidence to the contrary likely has other factors (like, for example, relying on relatively primitive type checkers that catch less errors, require more handholding, and generally have trouble handling idiomatic code) but like I said, YMMV: everyone has their failure and success stories. To me, if I can find a bug before I even save the file, versus needing to wait until QA catches it, or worse, it lights prod on fire, it's probably a win. As far as this "static code style" business goes, I don't understand it. My code does not look that different when it's JS vs TS. For Python, MyPy still doesn't seem sufficient, so I would not be surprised if strictly using things MyPy supports would make code worse. For us, switching to Go had more benefits than JUST types; of course we wound up having better performance and memory usage too, and the error handling practices, while verbose, definitely put error handling and edge cases front and center.
> changing people's minds when they are grounded in self-interest belief, is next to impossible

This applies to all the web2 naysayers as well

For your very simple example, your IDE can do that!

I was curious about Unity, Godot lately. These "ecosystems" with built in IDE with animation trees, sprite trees, scripting languages make me a little nauseous.

My experience has been that often you have an idea you want to bring to life, programmatically, design-wise, but then you find hurdle after hurdle in trying to shoehorn your idea to make it work in these prefab environments. Eventually you succumb and write the same games everyone else is writing — sigh.

I think I am agreeing. It seems "composability" and "powerful" don't often go hand in hand.

It’s not pejorative, it’s a little stuffy and old fashioned, like someone just finished reading an essay by Edmond Burke or something, but in that context it is hardly akin to the other meanings.

Oh, and I assert that anyone who doesn’t think our legal system can properly decide who if anyone is being wronged by these tools is just plain ignorant of the law.
Your points are something to think about. They're quite far from what I thought my point was, which is more individual and along the lines of "when the discussion is about X then I'm thinking and focussing on X and not taking a wider view, my comments are not encompassing my own wider view on the issue".
There was a 64 bit XP but it broke some games and a bunch of drivers were never re-compiled for it, IIRC, so it wasn't very popular.
Sure! The people administering the system define these types of rules according to the shape of your organization. It may surprise you to know this is a core feature of most change management software. It's not like "target your notifications to a specific group of users" is a novel idea.
Cost per ad down 22% this quarter. Hard to say how much is the apple change versus other headwinds, but it definitely seems significant.
Since animal testing is negative PR these days, it seems like de-extincting animals artfully sidesteps any ethical or moral objections. I mean, dead animals/species don’t have any rights, so they can run all the frankenstein experiments they want without any PETA activists throwing cans of soup.
I’m saying that everyone shouts switch to Linux but this isn’t an option for a lot of people and isn’t even likely the best solution for most. Most of the commercial apps have no viable alternatives on Linux or the open source market gap fillers are vastly inferior.

I think this is an important point. 4chan today is largely populated by bot posters, especially on the bigger boards like /b/. Regular users will suffer through captchas mysteriously not working, getting (range) banned for proxy use when the poster is not using a proxy, or even just shadowbanned
Yes, they are! Nothing wrong with that. A crutch is a tool, and like other tools we will have varying levels of dependence on it/them.

Where the line is for necessary/unnecessary dependence lies is a judgement call.

It really depends on the board that you're on. /g/ imo is one of the best tech forums that I'm aware of, as long as you don't get fixated on the occasional crudeness and racism. /pol/ is just racists and incoherent rambling. /tv/ is a good forum for critical takes on media but again requires weeding through the bad parts.
I agree that C lets you more precisely control what a CPU does. By that definition of "powerful", I think the assembly language of that processor is the most powerful language.

But the cost with which you must put up is also large (the intricacies of the CPU, memory allocation, types and such breed complexity). Some tasks are not worth that cost.

For instance, you want to print "hi" to the console. A shell script saying "echo hi" is perfectly adequate. No need to declare a main function or import anything.

By defining "power" as this "efficiency" or "sparseness" or "brevity" measure, strictly looking at this example, C is less powerful than bash.

I tried to take literal code length per Rosetta code task as a very rough measure of "terseness" (the x-axis), and I'm curious what you think.

https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html

In any case, my definition of "power" is close to the opposite of what it means in the OP article.

That's absolutely not at all how it works. If you tank your stock price you tank your ability to raise funds which tanks your debt. Your stock price is absolutely important to running your company.
I don't have answers about what to do but being in denial isn't going to help you. Most developers I know make 6 figures plus, even some JR developers, none of them for FAANG companies. If you make 6 figures you can generally save a lot. Most I know do not. They spend their money in nice things.

Either way, better to view this as a threat so you can jump on whatever comes next
I'm guessing you mean the broader global usage applied to Australia as a whole:

Dutch economic experience where the manufacturing sector declined and suffered general inflation as a result of the booming natural gas sector.

ie: An exurberance of raw natural resources killing other sectors of the economy.

In the context of Western Australia, though, one might argue that the "Dutch curse" is consistently smashing your ships up against the shores of one of the more hostile coasts globally.

I'm really glad this pricing transparency information has become available but unfortunately so far I don't think it has provided a lot tangible value to consumers/patients. When you take into account the following:

- acute care (where there is not a lot of oppourtunity for discrection based on price)
- proximity
- insurance networks
- complexity of care itself

What I have seen for most patients most of the time it is pretty difficult to put this information into practice. Now this information is having a much bigger effect on the relationships between health plans, providers and health systems which is positive.

I'd be really open to discussing with anyone ideas about how this information can be combined with other resources people may not know exist and how it could be possible to make it more useful for patients. Feel free to reach out to me:

That is the only way forward. The only problem is the Fed fighting a “war” with inflation. If they would just accept inflation as the necessary evil and impose tariffs on every polluting import, both the economy and citizens of the West would be much better off. Many more jobs would be created and and the competition for labor would keep driving compensation. After 10 years just denominate the dollar and all problems solved.
While I'm sympathetic to constructivism, this isn't the greatest example.

There is the famous recent result by Zhang that said an infinite number of pairs of primes differ by less than 70 million. This was improved by Tao et al to 246. So by the pigeonhole principle, at least one of a fairly small set of numbers must be an h such that p, p+h is prime infinitely often. We just don't know which one.

While this is not a constructive argument, it DOES turn into a constructive argument that for any k greater than 0, in finite time we can find an h < 246 such that at least k pairs p, p+h are both prime. Which is close enough to the classical statement that the classical statement seems reasonable.
Just a thought, the article has 747 points, and I do not want to upvote it further.
Of course. I use this in Hammerspoon. The API call is simply in Lua.
Some star trek!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjuQRCG_sUw

What makes consciousness? The star trek episode asked is data sentient, but I think the mirror question is just as interesting, how are we anything more than a machine?

We need fuel like a car, there are byproducts to the expenditure of that energy and evidence of chemical reactions, there are all manner of chemical systems that regulate our subjective experiences, measurable and deterministic. We can inject drugs that will turn off the brains ability to form memories...

If there are physical/chemical rules that we are subject to, then it seems like discovering those rules that govern a machine and the rules that govern ourselves are a matter of degree of complexity and not intractability.

If you believe reality is deterministic, then I think don't think this "reductive" view of humans is that far fetched.

In Star Trek it was asked if Data has a soul, but I think it's just as reasonable to ask do we have souls. Do we have something beyond that which can be measured by physics?

Does Human = Machine or does Human = Machine + Soul?

I personally think Human = Machine.

Lunch has an effect on interview results. How "in control" do you think you are?
