I've had the same question, and it seems like there aren't really.

It's too high for helicopters or rotor drones so there's no kind of aircraft that can get their quickly and just hover next to it and retrieve it. (And sending an airship would be so slow and hard to control I'm not sure you could ever get it to reliably intercept in a reasonable amount of time.)

So since you've necessary got to launch something at speed, the only conceivable capture device would seem to necessarily involve 1) a missile to puncture and deflate the balloon/buoyant part, 2) a giant net to wrap the entire thing, and 3) a parachute attached to the net to let it down gently.

But I can't even begin to imagine how you'd get all three elements working together reliably, rather than interfering with each other.

> after your primary school years, you get a calculator to work out the arithmetic

Do we? I do a lot of mental arithmetic as a software developer. When I was an exchange student my host-dad was an engineer and he was incredibly good at it. As he was thinking through a problem he'd do all sorts of ballpark math to get a feel for things. Eventually, yes, the numbers would all get crunched properly. But even then he'd also be doing the math mentally to make sure that something hadn't gotten screwed up. A person who uses a calculator for everything starting from a young age just doesn't develop that skill.

And I think there will be a similar problem with ChatGPT. Can an excellent writer get a performance boost starting with ChatGPT? The jury's out, but it's not impossible. But can one become an excellent writer by tarting up LLM-generated prose? I doubt it. Learning to write is a process of sweating the details. Especially so when the output is an essay. Real higher-level creativity requires foundational work. I think at best you'll get the sort of content that comes when an uninspiring politician hires a mediocre ghost writer.

That said, a lot of writing is bullshit. And I mean that both in the Frankfurt sense ("speech intended to persuade without regard for truth") [1] and in the Graeber sense ("completely pointless, unnecessary, or pernicious") [2]. And that's where I think ChatGPT will shine. Marketing copy to fill in the "lorem ispum" space on the product page? ChatGPT to the rescue. Long sections of TPS reports that nobody will read? ChatGPT again. And once they expand ChatGPT to being able to make PowerPoint decks, a zillion ineffective middle managers will be able to return their focus to Candy Crush, harassing the interns, and creating pointless meetings.

I think that's also bad, of course. Lowering the cost of bullshit production looks like a net societal negative to me. But it would be successful in the traditional tech industry metrics of "gains users" and "produces revenue".

Yeah. I tried hinting at that in my first post. Pets will have teeth issues as they get older. Much of that comes from nutrition learning, though.

Humans seem particularly prone to midlife tooth issues. With the obvious caveat that humans also are prone to ignorance dominating the things we believe. :)
Ahh that's right, I see.

Maybe I should play with removing the stack switching from purego so that under condition of a locked OS thread you can avoid that overhead :) I might give that a shot sometime
That ChatGPT is good at truthfully answering one kind of prompt (analytic, where the facts are contained in the prompt, so the task is translation) and bad at truthfully answering another kind of prompt (synthetic, where the facts are not contained in the prompt, so the task is synthesis), tells me something about the nature of language.

It turns out that setting up solutions to math problems is mainly a language translation task, followed by computation task as long as you have a way to eval() the resulting thunk:

Do not perform calculations. Do not compute the answer. Use Javascript Math and Date to perform calculations. Wait for further questions. Show your work in the DESCRIPTION. The number of steps in the %%%THUNK%%% should match the number of steps in the %%%DESCRIPTION%%%. Always answer with Javascript compatible code in the %%%THUNK%%%, including numerical form without commas (eg, 238572348723). Always answer with this JSON compatible object form, eg, {"key":%%%VALUE%%%}: { "question": "4 days a week, Laura practices martial arts for 1.5 hours. Considering a week is 7 days, what is her average practice time per day each week?", "description":["Multiplying 1.5 and 4", "Dividing the step 1 answer by 7"], "thunk": "(function() { const step1 = 1.5 * 4; const answer = step1 / 7; return answer; })()" }

Analytic augmentation is the procedure by which a question is augmented in a manner that promotes translation over synthesis. That this can be tested empirically is definitely something novel with regards to the philosophy of language!

> I don't think the view that just because we can automate the creation of a simple essay makes writing essays for students obsolete. It's not what Chomsky said but I've heard the argument a lot in the context. We are not requiring it because everyone is writing essays all the time but because it's an important, basic skill.

I think there's something to be said for the view that ChatGPT makes the sort of simplistic, tedious essays typically assigned to K-12 students obsolete. Essay writing is fun, but school essays take the fun out of it, much as is the case with school math. School is corrosive to enjoyment of intellectual activity. This is by design: the primary purpose of school in the USA is to break the students' individuality so they learn to obey commands and submit to authority. Vital skills in every industry from construction and manufacturing to high tech.

ChatGPT puts the lie to the idea that essays in standard formats on standard topics with standard argument structure should be how we teach kids to write, much like TI-83s put the lie to the idea that school-age math is mostly rote memorization and application with little conceptual thought. We will have to show them how to find their own personal voice and have it come through in their work.

The ChatGPT era will require adjustment from educators. Again, remember Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine, a 1950s kids' novel whose McGuffin was a supercomputer that functioned much like GPT: you asked it natural-language questions and it would type out answers. The computer was sabotaged such that it would answer in a way that was coherent and authoritative sounding, but wrong, challenging the young heroes to actually study to understand when and how the machine was wrong. ChatGPT poses similar challenges to today's kids, and if we want to teach them we will have to acknowledge and accommodate those challenges in the curriculum.
I think it's a steam engine moment, similar to the one by James Watt. ChatGPT is something actually commercially viable after decades of research on AI.

Replacing search would be like replacing horses. The first locomotive was about 2 decades after the Watt engine. But the Ford assembly lines were what really replaces horses, about 137 years later.

Of course technological progress today is a lot faster. But probably slower than everyone expects. It's not likely to kill Google next year, but PageRank style searching will likely be replaced with conversational style questioning given enough decades.
There's an irony to religious people saying, "It's about the journey, not the destination."

> However, I don't think the average person is not aware of that, nor fails to notice it.

You massively over estimate the average person.

The average person has no idea what chatgpt, LLMs, or generative AIs are.

They certainly have no idea how they can go wrong.

And placing the output right in with the search results gives it an air of authority that the average person will not question.

I guarantee the average person will uncritically take anything chatgpt produces as straight truth, and it will cause problems.
People appear to be angry with Chomsky, but I do not understand the reason.

If you want to learn anything about a topic, even a Wikipedia article is superior to ChatGPT. The whole allure of ChatGPT is that people develop a parasocial relationship and feel that they learn by communicating. That is of course an illusion.

This is so true. I don't really want people to contribute because it takes more time to assess what they did vs just mindlessly doing it yourself. If I had the time to review I would rather implement the feature or fix.

> What possible reason would the Russians have to sabotage their own side of their won space craft?

Some people believe the Nord pipeline blowup was self-sabotage.

That has been my argument for "preprocessor abuse" - there isn't such thing as preprocessor "abuse"[0], it is part of the language and provides some form of extensibility in a language with an already limited set of features.

If anything the preprocessor needs more features (let me include files from macros and do loops dammit :-P).

[0] ok, i can think of some uses that might count, like "#define BEGIN {", etc that serve no practical purpose, but i don't think anyone called these "preprocessor abuse".

The Future of Music and AI?
Over the years, we have become familiar with a pretty good recommendation system based on the huge number of recorded songs on Spotify or Youtube. But when the applications of Generative AI are now becoming strong, including in the music industry and the latest is Google released MusicLM, a new machine learning model that can turn text into music.
I am curious to think what the upcoming products or integrations of the music industry will look like, about the future of the music industry and especially music for health.

Well I didn't say you should never concern yourself with the details.

But at some point in your life you will have gone through the details so often you won't be getting them wrong, but you'll still be spending a lot of time on them. With a tool like cgpt you can save yourself a lot of time.

Of course it's up to you where you take the trade. If your thing is a medical device that will kill someone if it isn't checked, maybe you carefully write the code yourself. If you're building some POC website, why not let the AI fill in a few API calls for you?

And don't forget, plenty of details are already outsourced. Entire reference books are full of details that we prefer not to keep memorized.

Plato:

“If men learn this, it will implant forgetfulness in their souls; they will cease to exercise memory because they rely on that which is written, calling things to remembrance no longer from within themselves, but by means of external marks. What you have discovered is a recipe not for memory, but for reminder. And it is no true wisdom that you offer your disciples, but only its semblance, for by telling them of many things without teaching them you will make them seem to know much, while for the most part they know nothing, and as men filled, not with wisdom, but with the conceit of wisdom, they will be a burden to their fellows.”

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/259062-if-men-learn-this-it...

I'm advocating cgpt as a tool that allows you to spend more time at the level of abstraction that is appropriate for the problem. If you're writing an essay about the fall of Rome, you don't want to be spending loads of time finding the details of a reference (year published, secondary author's names, exact title...). You want to be talking about economics of the time, incentives for different groups in Roman society, and so on.
Sure, but humans often have issues with cavities well before even reaching adulthood.
> but I do not understand the reason.

Some people get mad if you talk down on their favorite new toy.
I’m one of the main contributors. I’ve looked into it bc I wanted to know if I could build iOS apps without Cgo. ATM, it is not possible. The reason is because when you run go build creating a shared object it runs the go cgo tool. That tool although written entirely in Go doesn’t know about purego and so will go ahead and import runtime/cgo which requires a C toolchain. Now it could be possible to circumvent that with using a custom Go build toolchain but the goal of purego was to be seemless to use in a project. Just use it and then go build like any other dependency.
I am not trying to be flippant, but this is a profoundly naive comment you have made.

Ill give you an example from ~2005 or such, I think...

RSA conference in San Francisco.

I met the head of cyber security for the US... him and his team. They invited me to dinner as I worked for Lockheed.

There was a guy sitting at the table, maybe ~24-ish, super black bags under his eyes.. (meaning he didnt sleep much) and he was bragging the entire dinner about their red/blue hacking teams they were doing to hack shit...

Now this was a controlled environ of them plating team agains team to hack/infiltrate(physically -- lock picking etc) eachothers' area to get pay-dirt...

But it was the extreme psycho-pathy that really struck me...

I know that we have the best military there is, but it was truly weird to see the amount of glee that came from one who is empowered by the MIC in this way...

and this was the RSA conf nearly 20 years ago...
The sunk cost fallacy applies to both interventionism and noninterventionism. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is an idiom for a reason.

What made interventions such as the Berlin Air Lift work is that they were stuck with until they were no longer needed. An unanticipatable effect of the Berlin Air Lift was the "Tear down this wall" speech and the end of the USSR.
And, conversely, we might just be so full of ourselves that we are willing resort to claims on the immaterial if that's what it takes to not give up the exceptionalism.
I thought this part was interesting:

> Did adoption of calculators lead to less learning of arithmetic.

There's discussion of this in the book The Shallows, which is a book that gives a good overview of the relationship between technology that augment our intellect and contemporary society.

The gist is that calculators where a boon to mathematical education, because they freed up students to spend more time working through the challenging abstract aspects of mathematics, and less time with the mechanics of arithmetic.

I don't see there being any analogy between using ChatGPT _as an essay writer_ and using a calculator. The essay writing itself is the substantive educational process, and so it cannot be outsourced. What is not the substantive part of the educational process is the actual production of the typed word, and so the use of a pen, typewriter, or computer keyboard is less material, though still absolutely relevant. The affect of the writing/typing tool on the essayist is also discussed in the book.
Depending on what you’re going for with that comparison, I’d suggest Von Neumann.

Ridiculous
If you read Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration you will see that many tribes have PERFECT teeth without even flossing.

Tooth decay is purely caused by diet.

Certain grains also cause it, not only sugar.

Rice for example is very bad for teeth (90% of people damaged teeth, acidic starch is what they assume), while potatoes are much less harmful (~10% if I remember correctly, since potato starch is alkaline).

Sodas (anything with low ph) is terrible for the teeths as it seems.

So it's also not "just carbs", but there are other factors.

So "painting teeth" with dubious chemicals is moronic since the problem is the food. If the food destroys your teeth so much, think what it does on the inside of you which you cannot see.

Eg check out this study:
