On not getting your break
As with many concepts designed to do good in this world I think it's (unfortunately? not sure) human nature to attempt to "solve" a system, whether the consequences greatly diverges from - or is even the opposite to - the intended path or not. (E.g. optimizing for time is not always a good thing, but we often act as if it were - the right amount of "grind" may mean I'm spending more time doing other things than just gaining power, since it takes too long anyway. Also, in real life, cooking is quality time to me, so I'd rather not optimize that away etc.) "The opposite" is the forbidden fruit that drives some people in the first place, so "just the right" amount of freedom seems almost impossible to design. In games, where the only loss is time spent, I assume we take things a lot further than in real life. There may be dire social consequences of course, hence the need to police us unruly players, or make the world explicitly harsh and design the game play around this as in EVE Online.

Similar with the min-max:ing of the class-less system. :) IIRC, the aforementioned "dagger warrior" was designed around two things: double attacks at max attack power, and mobs not being able to land a hit. The perfect glass cannon that made it possible to survive AC's harsh lands even when under-leveled - or die instantly. :)

The size of the world was another thing that drew me in - another kind of "grind", if you will. Seeing other players whoosh:ing by - literally running by, in a mount-less world - was pretty hilarious, but the fact that it took time to get around was only a good thing IMO. I want a game world where the only option is to carefully navigate a large, dangerous desert to find the missing ingredient. The current theme-park MMO juggernaut seems to lock most things behind some "boss" and be done with it, which makes the game world pretty void of other players in most places. You just move on to the next quest hub and leave old content behind for ever. This also makes the world, regardless of its actual size, only feel as big as the current "zone" (I don't like "zones").

But in the end, the developer needs the game to be profitable and the players want the most out of their money spent. If my wants belong with a minority group the game probably won't cater to me.

Not really sure what my point is (old man yelling at clouds with contempt for "instant gratification" perhaps), but thank you for AC and the time you spent developing it! :)
Good points

But blind people can talk about color intelligently too, if not as completely as a sighted person. Despite not experiencing color qualia.
The latter isn't a stated policy, but the result of many interacting policies, incentives, and institutions.
Hence it is hard to fix, hard to recognize as existing, and hard to prove to others as being a problem.

In other words, you can't get people to care, and even if you could, they would have no idea what to demand.

Whilst the former problem is (according to other comments) largely affecting African Americans. There is huge momentum behind preventing institutions from consistently disadvantaging African Americans.

(Note I have no clue whether African Americans more commonly bounce checks and get debanked for it)

Good point. I forgot about the incessant app nagging because I use the old mobile interface and I don't really use reddit on mobile that much anymore.

However one of the things I do like is that they don't really interfere with the content. There's some really fringey communities on there like exhibitionists that would be banned by other platforms in 5 minutes because they really don't want to deal with the legal worries and stigmatization. Reddit leaves them alone, the only time they really close communities is when they become toxic.

I'm not a fan of Conde Nast but they could have done a lot worse with Reddit.
Read a few news articles that it was due to an error in their bard ad... like okay, nobody is claiming these things are always correct... now if you read their ai strategy blog post, you'll find the narrative was underwhelming. Akin to "we're adding ai to hangout!" And like five other dumb examples. Seemed out of touch with what's happening. I could see that costing billions in value.

My cynical take is that these incidents being newsworthy where they previously may not have been just means a new military spending program will soon be announced.
I used XHR in IE in 1999-2001 in a production web app at a well known investment bank. It was my idea to use it after stumbling across the docs got it on msdn or another developer-only resource. The docs were extremely limited so I just played until I figured it out. It was synchronous only at that time, I asynchronous calls. I wrote the Java server code to return XML I think?

Users LOVED it. I never looked back.
For the latecomers - It was originally posted here with the title on the page, not the title in the URL: "Why Everyone Feels Like They’re Faking It".

That seems like hyperbole. They are certainly not a place where you can (easily) have fun playing around in the water, nor a place for beginners to learn to swim. However, they are still exactly right for anyone who can swim and wants to do some plain swimming.

The local 50 meter pool here is always filled with people young and old (and on no way elite) that just swim. You don’t need to be very fit to be able to swim 50 meters without a break.

It‘s a different kind of swimming compared to just hanging around and having fun, sure, but it always seems to be quite in demand when I see pools like that.

(The swimming complex close to me has two Olympic size swimming pools and one of those is open to the public, the other is used by actual elite athletes but also kids who are learning to swim. There is also a small 12.5 meter pool with adjustable depth to learn swimming and for aqua fitness courses.)
Right. If they charge up front and get zero users then their business model is wrong.
Probably because they literally broadcast threats while they do it.
I prefer using a mouse since they added support in iPadOS funnily enough. I can sit further away from the tablet instead of being hunched over it in a weird position.

At my most cynical I cannot find a single unkind thing to think about this little article. It's perfectly nice, relates perfectly legit observation, espouses a perfectly good take away from that observation, and I have no idea what the title is supposed to be guilty of. It like the rest is perfectly genuine and simple and nice. It's not trying to do anything wrong. It doesn't want anything from you.

I guess my thoughts are: isn't this activism, though? "They are using their time to impart the results that they want. They're developing the tools and implementing them to get their opinions and actions across to as many people as possible."

Is someone finding that annoying or distasteful, or thinking "wow, they have a lot of time on their hands" valid reasoning to calling them "evil and disturbed", or are people just not wanting to put the equal amount of effort to resisting/subverting that?

Beginning in 2011, there was a rapid shift in the ways people associated with the knowledge economy talked about “social justice” and engaged with “social justice” issues. Professionals in fields like tech, finance, education, journalism, arts, entertainment, design, and consulting (and students who aspired to join their ranks) grew much more politically “radical” over the last 10 years, and increasingly intolerant of dissent. The shifts were especially pronounced on matters pertaining to identity (above all, race, gender, and sexuality).
I read your previous replies on HN and it seems what you’re doing is more like managing the public image rather than actually listening to what people want.

Medium is still very aggressive data harvesting machine. Look at what sub stack is doing and just do the same, what they’re doing is correct and valuable and what medium had done so far is absolutely full-on reader/writer hostile.

Someone page DesCartes. How do I know everyone in the world is actually real, actual intelligences and consciousnesses distinct from my own? All these articles lack a severe lack of imagination or just try to apply a very narrow definition of intelligence. It's good to be grounded and not hop on every bandwagon but to deride ChatGpt because it can't convince the author it is mimicking the way we think we think is a bit daft.
ChatGpt for me has been amazing - I use it to get started. My biggest stumbling block, at anything, is getting started. ChatGpt can get me started by generating boilerplate code, etc... and yea sometimes it is not quite right (though more often than not, it's pretty damn close) and guess what, it did it in seconds. It would have taken me hours to get to that same 'not quite right' level. ChatGpt is an elevator for that initial step function of resistance to my productivity. It gets me going when motivation or the willingness to focus is not there. They can charge $20/month, they can charge $100/month, I'll happily pay it.

(edit: they just launched the plus for $20/month - shut up and take my money)

I saw this example on Twitter today which shows ChatGPT doesn't understand:

Mike's mother had 4 kids; 3 of them are named Luis, Drake and Matilda. What is the name of the 4th kid?

I'm sorry, but I don't have information about the fourth kid. The information you provided is that Mike's mother has 4 kids, and three of them are named Luis, Drake, and Matilda. However, the name of the fourth child is not specified in the information you gave.

But thanks for the paper. I'm reading as much as I can.
I think the real innovation that underpins chatgtp is not the LLM but the UI. The large companies have finally woken up to the fact that a simple chat interface is superior to most people than having to filter and scroll a bunch of Google links and description text - it removes a barrier to the original intent (find out the answer to X). It’s value is utility and as long as it’s correct 80%? Of the time - people won’t care. It’s the same phenomenon as when you are working on a tech team and are new. It’s easier to ask the guy who’s been there a couple of years where a piece of code is rather than go hunt for it yourself, even if he doesn’t always know the correct answer.
I find it amusing that some people expect factual responses from ChatGPT.

Meanwhile, my script writing friends are having a heyday, and Hollywood is set to green light several new all GPT-enabled scripts.

Yes, the same flight plans, routes and timetables, were re-used, so when spotters saw the aircraft take off they had a very good idea of where it would come from.

The shoot down also involved the SAM radar operator violating his own SOP by leaving his radar on longer than they normally do, and firing at a non-PID contact, because they _knew_ the aircraft was going to be there.

So not true. Ever hear of tracking pixels? ETag manipulation? User-Agent tracking?

These have not been theoretical for a very long time and nowhere close to an exhaustive list. GET requests are usually loaded with parameters as well.
It is because of alan turing. The turing test has arbitrarily put the bar at “must successfully emulate a human being to be labeled general intelligence”.

I don’t find the turing test useful at all as a benchmark. We don’t need something to successfully emulate a human to do useful intelligent work. ChatGPT can already do that work in many domains and many languages, if working as an assistant to a human. I honestly don’t know why we shouldn’t call that general intelligence.

The argument “but it doesn’t understand” is not useful either, and it is the one I read most from people who deeply understand how it works. Many (most?) people don’t really understand what they do for a living either, they’re just going through the motions and need supervision to prevent then going off the rails. Just like ChatGPT. And still someone finds their “intelligence” useful enough to pay them for it.

> We know more about the Apple device through patent filings and leaks.

No you don't. Apple routinely files hundreds of patents (any major company does that). It doesn't mean those patents will end up as a shippable product.

All you know is the never ending rumor mill.

> these devices are already real and shipped.

Of course they are not

> As for batteries, that’s been solved 1-2 years ago.

Of course they haven't. There's literally no battery + cpu + gpu tech that you can put in an AR device lightweight enough for extended use.

All "lightweight" ones use a cable to connect to an external device.

The rest are bulky and heavy. Because you cannot bullshit your way out of physics and biology by pretending "this has been solved".

It probably does have rate limiting, just not a low enough limit to be noticeable.
Do you know if Medium offers a verification process for authors to demonstrate that their content is not produced by a content mill?

As a Medium member since 2020, I've been writing articles that reflect real-world use cases and require 2-4 days of research and writing. Despite my efforts, I've only had one article boosted on the platform thus far.

It would be incredibly beneficial for creators like myself if Medium offered a verification process to prove our authenticity and help increase the visibility of our work.

No, not many people in continental Europe are comfortable with miles, feet and inches.
