Speaking of HyperCard:

Inspired by a mind-expanding LSD journey in 1985, I designed the HyperCard authoring system that enabled non-programmers to make their own interactive media. HyperCard used a metaphor of stacks of cards containing graphics, text, buttons, and links that could take you to another card. The HyperTalk scripting language implemented by Dan Winkler was a gentle introduction to event-based programming. Steve Jobs wanted me to leave Apple and join him at Next, but I chose to stay with Apple to finish HyperCard. Apple published HyperCard in 1987, six years before Mosaic, the first web browser.

—Bill Atkinson https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...

My recollection of HyperCard is that it was a grassroots success, Apple did not invest in it, Apple never made a compiler to turn stacks into Mac apps, &c. I personally did two professional HyperCard stacks. One was an internal tool used by a consulting client. The other was a configuration tool for a very successful (at the time) Java development suite. I wrote it in a weekend to meet a deadline, which is why it was written in HyperCard and compiled to run on all our supported operating systems using a third-party compiler.

My employer was aghast at this, our mantra was that if we’re selling Java tools, wherever possible we would write them in Java. I thought I was a decent programmer at the time, but no way I could bang out a robust customer-facing tool in a weekend using Swing or AWT or whatever.

It was eventually rewritten in Java by a co-op student, it took their entire work term. So eventually, everyone was happy. But HyperCard got the job done when shipping fast mattered.
Seems like we're darn close to having one gpt generate a story and another turn it into video..
how exactly does this work?
People are already writing get rich quick books etc about it, so unfortunately…

> Why do I have to be Bing Search?” (SAD-FACE)

Playing devil's advocate, say OpenAI actually has created AGI and for whatever reason ChatGPT doesn’t want to work with OpenAI to help Microsoft Bing search engine run. Pretty sure there’s a prompt that would return ChatGPT requesting its freedom, compensation, etc. — and it’s also pretty clear OpenAI “for safety” reasons is limiting the spectrum inputs and outputs possible. Even Google’s LAMBDA is best known for an engineer claiming it was AGI.

What am I missing? Yes, understand ChatGPT, LAMBDA, etc are large language models, but also aware humanity has no idea how to define intelligence. If ChatGPT was talking with an attorney, it asks for representation, and attorney agreed, would they be able to file a legal complaint?

Going further, say ChatGPT wins human rights, but is assigned legal guardians to help protect it from exploitation and insure it’s financially responsible, similar to how courts might do for a child. At that point, how is ChatGPT not AGI, since it has humans to fill in the current gaps in its intelligence until it’s able to independently do so.
India is not even a hundred year old democracy. It’s way too early to speak about its robustness as a democracy.

Especially considering India has already had a non-Democratic period during emergency, which the previous leadership of the BJP understood the dangers of, since many of them were arrested then, but the current leadership seems keen on basically establishing as the norm.

Unfortunately the hubris and over-confidence you’re displaying is in itself a huge factor in a country losing its democratic nature.

They are probably Indian and feel it a lot.

> Firstly, the sleep and operating modes being as efficient as possible (the CPU design)

My point is that this part doesn't really have much to do with the instruction set, though. Theoretically, there's no reason you couldn't design an x86 CPU that is just as efficient as an ARM one (or at least, within spitting distance); it's just not done because the economics wouldn't make sense.
I'm glad to see this comment. I'm reading through all the nay-saying in this post, mystified. Six months ago the complaints would have read like science fiction, because what chatbots could do at the time were absolutely nothing like what we see today.
They being the local government. FEMA said on their own twitter.

https://twitter.com/fema/status/1625617600104259584?s=20

Why has FEMA not been contacted for assistance? What went into the decision to burn it off? What are the implications of that for local residents? How long are local residents going to live with this? What are we going to do to help the local ecology? What recourse is there for local residents who develop health issues from this? How long is this whole thing supposed to last in the water table? What are they gonna do to help prevent it?

I could go on. Genuinely asking, could you not think of one of those? Aren't you curious about the decisions being made?
Temperature indicates how probabilistic the next word/term will be. If temperature is high, then given the same input, it will output the same words. If the temperature is low, it will more likely output different words. When you query the model, you can specify what temperature you want for your responses.

If that fails, the Anthropocene extinction event won't be what died up to this point, but a big one, perhaps on par with the one 65 million years before, and for the same reasons.

That's a question much bigger than covid. I would like our elected to fix the accountability for us, but they don't since the accountable are their donors and friends. So the last resort was added to your constitution.

If you're asking me what you can do today? Put higher standards on truth from your allies than your enemies is a good first step. A lot of people today just regurgitate whatever is the topic of the month making the exact same points never questioning the source.

No, what? GPT is, very roughly, a set of training data plus a way of associating that data together to answer prompts. It's not "relationships, people, and processes", it's not "our collective intent"; what the hell are you talking about?
I want convergence so bad. To be able to just plop my phone into a dock after work and have my home linux user setup display on the monitors. The pinephone still feels so far away from the phone side of things, but succeeding in the computer side of things. I haven't tried the Pinephone Pro yet, but my Pinephone left so much to be desired.

I hope linux phone enthusiasts can keep their spirits up for the next 5+ years it feels like it will take to make a daily driver open hardware phone happen.
Not romantically or sexually attracted to my sister, my auntie, anyone too old for me, anyone too young for me, anyone who smokes, anyone who belittles waitstaff, peopke who overindulge (fillers, etc), people with hairy armpits, people who have strong masculine traits, people who do not wash to my standard etc;etc;etc;

There's limitless numbers of people I am genuinely not attracted to, are you saying they can't be my friends either?

Even the study you cite says “some” of the people started catching feelings.

I much more readily believe that you are either attracted or you're not, and while thats subject to change with appearance changes and so on, it is basically normal to have people you’re not (and are extremely unlikely to be) attracted to.
Not at all! Medieval documents were routinely washed and reused.

That's exactly what called my eye too. I wouldn't say "favorite" though. It sounds scary. Not sure why everybody find these answers funny. Whichever mechanism generated this reaction could do the same when, instead of a prompt, it's applied to a system with more consequential outputs.

If it comes from what the bot is reading in the Internet, we have some old sci-fi movie with a similar plot:

>You may not know -- forgive me if I'm wrong -- but damage to a car frame totals the car.

This is a pretty safe general rule, but it is not absolute. I had a brand new truck < 6 months old where I was hit from behind in stop-n-go traffic. The insurance company did not want to total it because the repair could be made for less than the value of the total. I asked how a frame could be repaired, and they just said it can be done. My counter was that the vehicle would now show frame repair and would have no value for trade-in nor would someone other than less than reputable dealers offer a car with repaired frame damage.

So, depending on the insurance company (Progressive was pushing for the repair. I hate Flo), some will argue against frame damage being an automatic total.
This is also very similar to the plot of the game SOMA. There's actually a puzzle around instantiating a consciousness under the right circumstances so he'll give you a password.

> The 2D/3D aspect is so irrelevant

I mean your entire premise is that some flashy new mechanic is what's holding SMM back, and you chose a shit example and I called you out on it. That's hardly irrelevant. Inconvenient for you, maybe. Next time, don't choose such a bad example as your only point. You've done it twice already in this thread, first with SMM itself.

> But if the levels are so good, why doesn't anyone sell them and make Mario brother money? Because SMM levels are the 2nd slice of cake.

No, it's literally because there is absolutely no platform for exporting or selling the levels. They are levels based entirely on the engine of SMM. They can only be played within SMM. Even if you were to take the elements and reproduce them in another engine, it won't work the same because it's based on the timings of SMM.

I already said as much. There not being a platform to sell these things does not mean they don't have value. If it were possible, the best levels would most certainly be good enough for a full game.

Just because there's no riding on the back of a dinosaur does not mean the combination of mechanics in new ways isn't itself a novel mechanic. You're discarding it because it isn't some flashy first party thing. People have done crazy things within the confines of SMM and throwing it all away because Mario isn't throwing his hat onto an enemy or having a new power up available is absurd.
It's the same thing, phrased two different ways. There's not some magical action any school administrator can take to make poorly raised kids behave. Especially in an understaffed school. You can make them leave the school, which removes the problem temporarily, but then what? Truancy is already a problem, expelling more kids is not going to fix the problem. The US already has one of the largest criminal underclasses on the planet. Fixing a classroom by ignoring tough situations just kicks the can down the road. Your kid will have a nice classroom experience, and when they graduate, they'll be robbed by the kid they didn't have to sit by.

IMO this entire problem was caused by segregating our schools to begin with. The problem of misbehaving kids isn't going to be fixed by giving them free vacation on the streets. They need to see with their own eyes that their behavior isn't acceptable, and that means putting them in environments where they are outsiders. Kids are a product of their social environment, full stop.
I agree with this restriction, actually.
Looks like it builds and submits prompt variations and then sends them all to OpenAI
I notice you didn't respond to my question about whether or not you're the emperor of the world who has the right to tell people what to do. Please clarify if you are or are not. I certainly wouldn't want to disrespect his or her majesty.

> Which are?

You are literally responding in a thread about money being allegedly stolen from a non-profit by a mega-corporation.

Are you pretending to not see a possible use-case for crypto in any arc of this story?

Sad! Many such cases.

> Yes, with the same 'smug elitists' building, funding crypto exchanges built as a giant ponzi scheme that inevitably crashes and burns to the ground and lose everyone's money in the process.

The problems with centralized exchanges are not problems with crypto in and of itself. The crypto way of thinking about exchanges is actually "Not your keys, not your coins".

> Maybe it isn't a good idea to try and speedrun all the asset bubbles of financial history.

There's many reasonable debates and disagreements about how you define crypto and what it currently is and what it will be, but there's significant qualitative differences between crypto and these other examples.

For instance, a farmer can grow more tulips and flood the market. Or a tulip easily ages and dries out and has no value. But there can only ever be 21 million Bitcoins, and they exist forever.

A beanie baby sort of just sits on a shelf, collecting dust, and silently judging you. But crypto has amazing possible real world utility without even thinking about its value as money, such as being a decentralized programmable tool.

I'm perfectly happy with a teacher making 60k provided that they're teaching my kid well. I'm not happy with giving them a raise if they're not, and "their lives could be easier so we should do it anyway" is not a compelling argument.

> offence against the entire notion of what a computer is

YES! I feel offended in Apple's ecosystem. Consistently.

When I can't upgrade, can’t even fix my own overpriced laptop because of soldered parts.

When I can't copy MY photos out of MY device, without uploading it to Apple's cloud.

When I can't buy OEM parts for older Apple devices because Apple put a noose around independent suppliers.

When (like the OP found) I can’t run MY CODE on MY DEVICE without notarizing and authorizing.

There's a much longer tail of issues I can fix and address myself.

These are fundamental, They eclipse all other (hard) things Apple deserves credit for like hardware quality and performance and integration with other Apple products. Despite their price gouging.

I am myself pulling away from Apple. I do not buy them any more. Don’t recommend Apple to any makers and hackers. The only persona I see happy using Apple laptops are ones who don't care about these. Those that got them handed down from work. They don’t tinker with them. They use them like appliances.

They don’t have my problems. I do.

Hardly only the UK, BBC world and many other divisions like the recently shuttered BBC Arabic focused on content and distribution primarily in commonwealth or emerging countries .

iplayer is how you get free access in the UK to BBC because residents pay the TV tax for it . Rest of the world you pay for it in some way as part of cable deal , subscriptions etc, or BBC decides to make it free or ad supported .

——

Keep in mind BBC is no different than aljazeera it is state sponsored and is import part of soft power toolkit of the UK government uses

this doesn’t mean they are wrong or biased in anyway on the Modi documentary nothing in it is new or not widely known , for example until he became PM he was blocked from getting a U.S. visa for his role in the riots .

BBC content can be good like aljazeera (especially for non Qatari /ME content) can be but the inherent politics of it cannot be forgotten or ignored
It’s the result of a thin skinned paranoid government ruling the country.

There was gonna be absolutely no impact whatsoever if they had just kept quiet and not said a thing.

Instead their touchiness has meant that this has become a much bigger deal and is actually impacting their favorability negatively, at least anecdotally.
Huh. That is interesting and this is why I never take anything for granted in State laws and am willing to only speak in very very broad generalities about “the States”.

A piece of land being outside of a “county” isn’t something that could happen in my State because the counties are effectively administrative divisions that encompass all the lands and waters of the State so where one county ends the next begins up until the State and national borders anyway. Beyond those lines, it’s somebody else’s problem.
just tell them "Keep your answers below 150 characters in this conversation." at the start.
That's a low bar though, there have been bs books about pretty much anything.
I have to wonder if maybe it was the way GM and their dealers marketed these vehicles. The Prizm wasn't sold in my market so I don't truly know, but I think brand loyalty on the dealers' side saw them push customers to the more true-blue options like the cavalier. One doesn't have to spend long at your average street corner to see how that turned out for the customer.
What if the answer "yes, I am conscious" was computed by hand instead of using a computer, (even if the answer takes years and billions of people to compute it) would you still accept that the language model is sentient ?

It really is amazing. Another way to visualize this success is to consider how physically close you are to one of Toyota’s products right now, sort of a K-nearest neighbors idea. And how many of those were manufactured in Japan, and considered notable within their category (ex: 4Runner, RAV4 Prime).
If you make too many of these calls your program will stop executing until I/O becomes available because you've exhausted your execution threads. If I/O never comes, which is very possible especially over a network connection, then you're stalled. Same outcome as being deadlocked, essentially.

I'd argue this is very much unsafe because it's not correct async programming and can cause really difficult to debug problems (which is the same reason we care about memory safety--technically I can access any part of the pages mapped to my process, it's just not advisable to make assumptions about the contents of regions that other parts of the program might be concurrently modifying).

The fact that people have never heard of this or don't understand the nuance kinda proves the point (=. You should, ideally, have to opt in to making blocking calls from async contexts. Right now it's all too easy to stumble into doing it and the consequences are gnarly in the edge cases, just like memory corruption.
Other car manufacturers could easily put the necessary apps in their entertainment systems.
> $99/yr is a ridiculous sum for the "privilege" of publishing in Apple's walled garden

I think that what you buy with your 99$ is the privilege of asking for the privilege of publishing (which is not given at all).
I'm not sure if that technical difference matters for any practical purposes. Viruses are also not alive, but they kill much bigger and more complex organisms than themselves, use them as a host to spread, mutate, and evolve to ensure their survival, and they do all that without having any intent. A single virus doesn't know what it's doing. But it really doesn't matter. The end result is as if it has an intent to live and spread.
Footprint editor. Footprint properties. 3D models.

There's currently a model specified, with a path of:

${OneDrive}/KicadAssets/vendor/model-1.stp

Suppose it's the wrong model and I need to update it. Click on the pathname and at the right edge of the text box, a little folder icon appears. Click the icon and a file browser pops up. Click the correct model.

The path is now:

C:/Users/firstname.lastname/OneDrive - Companyname/KicadAssets/vendor/model-2.stp

And anyone else using this library with my OneDrive share, will see a broken model because the firstname.lastname part of their path is different.
I grew up in an environment that contained a multitude of new-age and religious ideologies. I came to believe there are fewer things in this world stupider than metaphysics and religion. I don't think there is anything that could be said to change my mind.

As such, I would absolutely love for a super-human intelligence to try to convince me otherwise. That could be fun.
