Right, exactly. One of the challenges with this is the soundbite. For those whose agenda is suited, they'll latch on to the word 'quickly'. "Hey, no problem, even if everything goes to hell, it'll recover just fine. No big deal, carry on as usual", entirely ignoring that it's "quickly" on a geologic time scale, not a human.

chatGPT says exactly what it wants to. Unlike humans, it's "inner thoughts" are exactly the same as it's output, since it doesn't have a separate inner voice like we do.

You're anthropomorphizing it and projecting that it simply must be self-censoring. Ironically I feel like this says more about "liberal racism" being a projection than it does about chatGPT somehow saying something different than it's thinking
This is exactly what I'm talking about. None of what you wrote here is anchored in reality. At all. Not even a little.

It's pants-on-head silly to think "ChatGPT 2.0" is anything other than, at best, a magpie. If you put the nuclear codes under a shiny object, or arranged it such that saying a random basic word would trigger a launch, then yeah a magpie could fire off nukes.

But why the hell would you do that?!?!
Based on the OP I'm really not following this line of reasoning here.

The billions of dollars that are available aren't only to Tesla.

Tesla actually reliably accepts and processes credit card payments without issues, unlike the anecdotes provided by others here with other charging networks and there is no reason to think that Tesla would no longer reliably accept payments given that they intentionally accept payments from all major credit card processors.

Why would they not allow 3rd-party cars to charge? They may have some prioritization scheme for Tesla vehicles, but other than that I'm just not following what you are saying here.
Aren't most float operations binary? You'd need to iterate over a 64-bit space to test those.
My point was that there are plenty of people I’m not attracted to, not just family, whole entire categories of people.

I am also not exactly attractive. So I see no reason to believe they are attracted to me.

You just assume too much here for me to take it seriously.

If you are saying, sincerely, that every woman I am friends with is secretly attracted to me then I’m going to have some really awkward conversations.

I have plenty of friends who are women, it feels so ordinary that I can’t even imagine a world where this is not normal.
I read an article, probably a decade or more ago, about how bad it would be for NYC cab companies that Ford was discontinuing the Crown Vic. The reasoning was that repair costs would increase because it was the last vehicle where individual body panels were easily replaceable. It was also the last body-on-frame sedan, so you could feasibly swap out an entire chassis.

I'd be curious what the long-term impact was, or whether Uber made all that irrelevant.

An F-16 is certainly capable of doing more than a human pilot can withstand, so from that standpoint you could improve the capabilities of an F-16 with an AI pilot. But the aircraft is still designed around a human pilot with human variables in mind. A drone crafted for an AI could have substantially better acceleration and banking capabilities, but I believe most drones today are the very high altitude very long range variety and aren't focused on dog fighting capabilities. A purpose built drone dog fighter would be dramatically more capable than an F-16.
This very much seems like a "famous last words" scenario.

Go play around with Conway's Game of Life if you think that things cannot just spontaneously appear out of simple processes. Just because we did not "design" these LLM's to have minds does not mean that we will not end up creating a sentient mind, and for you to claim otherwise is the height of arrogance.

It's Pascal's wager. If we make safeguards and there wasn't any reason then we just wasted a few years, no big deal. If we don't make safeguards and then AI gets out of our control, say goodbye to human civilization. Risk / reward here greatly falls on the side of having extremely tight controls on AI.

Those who want "excitement" in instruction sets should study GPUs, POWER10, ARMv8, AVX512, and ARM's SVE these days.

GPU instructions, such as bpermute, permute, warp-vote, and other such concepts are the biggest "conceptual" changes to compute I've ever seen. DirectX12, Vulkan, CUDA, HIP, it doesn't really matter what you study per se, the GPU community knows brute force performance and is advancing it.

From this perspective, your study guides are the NVidia PTX guide (CUDA's assembly language), and AMD's RDNA2 ISA. Also keep in mind the NVidia PTX wgmma instruction, which is key to 16-bit 4x4 matrix multiplications (aka: Deep Learning / Tensors).

NVidia's underlying assembly is undocumented (instead, hidden away by the PTX layer / compiler). But people have been figuring out how it works under the hood. I don't think NVidia is trying to keep it a secret, as much as they just prefer users to work at the PTX layer, which would be more portable in the long term. Studying this SASS assembly is harder but still possible: https://arxiv.org/abs/2208.11174

---------

x86-wise, the pext and pdep instructions are single-cycle gather/scatter bitwise operations over 64-bits. I consider these to be the greatest advancements to compute theory on the x86 side and highly suggest people to play with these instructions. They're incredible.

POWER and ARMv8 have extremely clean implementations of load-acquire / store-release, and I expect this to be fundamental to large-scale scaling of CPUs, cache-coherence, and even I/O in the long run.

-------

AVX512 and SVE are other ideas into SIMD compute. AVX512 has compress instructions that I think work extremely well for common SIMD code (ex: the stream compression problem).

SVE tries to be agnostic with SIMD-width. A noble effort, but its the odd one out (AVX512, NVidia CUDA, and AMD HIP all rely upon static SIMD-widths). I'm still interested in what it can do with its "SIMD-width agnostic" framework, but I also recognize that it stands alone in today's ISAs.

--------

The closest thing to Intel Itanium is probably Xilinx FPGAs, which I'm told are VLIW-based instructions still. The old Itanium went all in on VLIW, but its just not a popular ISA-style today, and is largely considered "defeated".

But VLIW apparently lives on in DSPs and Xilinx FPGAs. While no one seems to be investing in this concept, its still being studied (by at least DSP programmers) and could be a darkhorse comeback in 10 years or so.
> I guess the intention is to be better than SQL but then I was left with "under which circumstances?".

The way I see it, SQL's great strength as a query language is selection and projection whereas Datalog's great strength is inference.

It takes a shift in mindset to take advantage of inference. I've started using Datalog when analyzing unfamiliar codebases. So I might set up something like:

writes_to(microservice1, db1).
writes_to(microservice2, microservice1).
writes_to(microservice3, microservice2).

depends_on(X, Y) :- writes_to(X, Z), depends_on(Z, Y).
depends_on(X, Y) :- writes_to(X, Y).

Allowing you to query something like:

depends_on(microservice3, X)

and get back db1, microservice1 and microservice2. Of course, you can ultimately do this in SQL as well, but it's far more compact in Datalog.

Which brings me to the second half of the motivation - the principal advantage to the logical database model is the open world assumption. The relational model in practice tends to be fairly buttoned down - data is expected to suit a particular schema (which has its own advantages as a transactional system). This makes it easy to extend a logical database and ask more questions without changing the fact formats already specified.

Of course, I can ultimately do all the things that feel natural in Datalog in SQL. I can work through queries like the one above by building out the data model and writing recursive CTEs. It's about strengths, not possibilities which I suppose brings me back to why SQL 'won'. A disproportionate amount of code is written for transactional line-of-business systems. It's really not hard to see why the validation layer and transactional focus would win in those areas.

Do we though? What percentage of cars are ever in an accident? If the choice is between better functioning while working versus lower repair costs, it's not obvious why we would prioritize lower repair costs.

I'll say that elementary school teacher who worked as a park ranger in the summer got a good deal as he still had a government job and instead of paying for a gym membership he got paid to walk around in a beautiful place all summer.

I'm sure most teachers don't have it so good but if one were trying to improve the current system you might try to create jobs that are complementary with teaching jobs.

Teaching is one of those areas like software development where the social contradictions are intense because it is a labor intensive practice with very little capital spending (think how the final assembly people on a car have a huge "gun" that hangs from the ceiling and looks like something out of Doom that screws all 5 nuts for a wheel with perfect torque in one shot.) Schools are also funded out of property taxes which are rather regressive and limit the ability of schools to be funded by people who have a huge amount of money and instead pits teachers against people who don't make $60,000 a year and who don't get a few months off in the summer.

Filters within the sheet is something on our roadmap - don't have it just yet. But! You can use our visual Query Builder to let less technical users change the underlying data that your charts + tables are pulling from.

In terms of exporting the data, you can export to a CSV but typically you don't need to do this step to debug something. The biggest difference from Tableau is we are actually a full featured spreadsheet. You can do any investigation you want to do within Equals itself. When we want to go deeper on some dashboard we tend to make a copy of the document in Equals and dig in from there.

They like it because they make money off of it, businesses sometimes like it because paying extra is worth not handling cash, people like it because it's convenient and you don't need to remember to take money out of the bank.

Not a good reason to eliminate cash though. Everyone should be legally required to accept cash.
I don't think I've ever seen a harder missing of a point than this one - the point of writing automated tests is to actually test scenarios that are hard to manually test. Don't be hesitant to delete tests that are no longer useful, but if you're not writing automated tests, you're not testing ENORMOUS swaths of your functionality.

AppleScript was a far more effective way of scripting your computer’s GUI apps than anything on a competing platform (even if AppleScript the language was terrible, Cocoa and Carbon made it incredibly easy for GUI apps to add AppleScript support) further strengthening the idea thst Apple was in favor of making macs programmable by the average user, even under Jobs. Heck, the AppleScript language was terrible precisely because it attempted to be approachable to regular users and resemble English.

I wouldn't be surprised at all - gotta read the ToS. The entire reason Google went heavy on GMail, despite it being a fun 10% project initially, was so that they could read your messages and use it to send more targeted ads.

The parent most also misses the mark from the other direction; we don't have a good universal definition for things that are alive, or sentient, either. The closest in CS is the Turing test, and that is not rigorously defined, not rigorously tested, nor particular meaningful for "can cause harm".

"If we grant these calculators too much power"
> I doubt we are far from this.

I do doubt it. Apple has specifically been removing language runtime environments but doesn’t stop you from installing them. And as far as I know they’re on good terms with (at least) Homebrew. Stopping you from running Python—which they ship to /usr/bin/python3 as part of the free Developer Tools—would have consequences on your other binaries.

I was positively surprised when Shortcuts for macOS shipped with specific support for AppleScript and other language runtime environments. I was convinced they would just not do it as the feature is not available on Shortcuts for iOS and that they’d use that as a way to add another nail in AppleScript’s coffin. The fact they did ship the feature commits them to support it. Maybe not forever, but removing it would require a non-immediate deprecation.
It's bitchy, vindictive, bitter, holds grudges and is eager to write off others as "bad people". Yup, they trained it on reddit.
When I did the degree in CS, I was able to almost immediately test out of nearly every "fluff" class. There's no "minimum time" required or anything like that; if you know the material you can schedule the exam and test out of it.

For example, I enrolled in the history class on Tuesday morning. I went through the per-assessment and got a 90%, so Tuesday afternoon, I took the exam, and got an 85%, which was high enough to pass. I knocked out a class in about a day.

This of course won't apply to all classes, but I didn't think it was so bad; the "BS classes" were also my initial hesitation to going back to school, but I was able to whip through them pretty quick.
I said confidently right.

> Can we please stop with this "not aligned with human interests" stuff? It's a computer that's mimicking what it's read. That's it. That's like saying a stapler "isn't aligned with human interests."

No, I don't think we can. The fact that there's no intent involved with the AI itself isn't the issue: humans created this thing, and it behaves in ways that are detrimental to us. I think it's perfectly fine to describe this as "not aligned with human interests".

You can of course hurt yourself with a stapler, but you actually have to make some effort to do so, and in which case it's not the stapler than isn't aligned with your interests, but you.

This is quite different from an AI whose poorly understood and incredibly complex statistical model might - were it able to interact more directly with the outside world - cause it to call the police on you and, given its tendency to make things up, possibly for a crime you didn't actually commit.

I wasn't trying to offend anyone, just giving context. Maybe it comes down to whether you consider fire an idol. Muslims certainly would, but if you don't, I understand why you would take exception to that. Either way, it seems obvious that Christianity is closer to Islam than Zoroastrianism because of our shared belief in Jesus and the Israelite prophets.

This is a genuine question, not an attempt to paint Apple as the be-all and end-all or a paragon of perfection (for all that I'm an unapologetic Apple fan, I recognize that they have serious faults).

I think there is a strong case to be made that the limitations Apple has placed on the iPhone are instrumental in guaranteeing the privacy and (relative) freedom from crap that makes it as good as it is. There is also a strong case to be made that it should be possible to create a phone (or computer) with nontrivial privacy safeguards, but without the specific limitations Apple imposes.

I lean somewhat toward the former camp, as I believe that in a space like smartphone apps, bad actors are both willing and able to do whatever is necessary to make their unethical money, whether that's with extra ads, crapware apps, or just actual malware, scams, and theft. But I would genuinely love to be proven wrong, and I hope that there comes a day when we have a meaningful competition in the space without sacrificing our collective ability to use our phones without fear.
