If you want to have kids and a big family, there are obligations that come with that unless you want to do everything your own way and encounter whatever happens. If your friends are unmarried or childless and not thinking of changing that, there's no context for this to make sense to them. That's all I'm gonna say since a few comments up is some guy derailing the convo to take jabs at OP.
The microwave example is very interesting.

SayCan[1] generated step-wise high level instructions using LLMs for robotic tasks. This takes it a step further by converting high level instructions to low level actions almost entirely autonomously.

One thing my old BigCo does right is put a solution level between sales and execution that has veto authority on any project -- our job was to manage everything from scope to risk to staffing and timelines going into the deal, just to ensure that projects would run as cleanly as possible.

If a client balked at the time or price of a project, then we'd step in and renegotiate scope, risk mitigation, expectations, and responsibility until a balance was struck. If, after all that, we felt that a project was too high-risk, we (or any partner tasked with oversight) could pocket-veto the sale by refusing to sign off on it. (It's a testament to the sales teams that I rarely had to exercise that veto; out of those times, twice I had a veto overridden by partners higher up the food chain, and both times the projects failed along the load-bearing lines we identified.)

It doesn't always work out as planned, of course, but, in my experience (over a couple hundred million dollars' worth of work), we stuck the landing much more often than we failed. Trying to do this inside a company is a significantly different and more difficult experience, certainly, and it only works if the c-suite puts their muscle behind a disciplined innovation process that can exercise those same kinds of authority across internal silos.

I'll also point out that BigCo aligned on this overall approach because we, like most strategy/tech consultancies, experienced a lot of failures to launch, and burned out a lot of developers and designers along the way. When half the firm is coming out of massive waterfall-style projects that often fail because they're brittle and push risks to the very end, and the other half is used to just throwing devs at two-week timeblocks until something ships or everyone quits, you've got to find an approach that gives you as much knowledge and shape up front as possible, while still letting the development efforts come together flexibly through the dev process. Kudos to them for getting that done.
I'm sure that will be the case at some point but for the moment it's not true. It's also important to note that NN's have been around for a long long time with relation to computing in general. The problems caused by using them have been reduced by not completely removed.

Imagine if the Therac-25 software was written by chatGPT.
I was more humouring the situation there and adding some color, but for sure, the ego is incredibly powerful and deep seated. I firmly believe what I had initially was profound, and was hijacked by the ego (and this is a very common happening to anyone on a spiritual journey of some sort).
Algae fuel makes little sense. To grow enough algae for fuel usage, you would have to use a lot of fertilizer. The fertilizer would be made from natural gas. So it would just be a giant scheme of hiding natural gas usage behind green fuel, but worse since it would take more natural gas than just using it directly.

Hah yep, been using this strategy for years and a lot of times they ask if I'm an employee.

Once Verizon customer support asked me "you got a problem with Verizon?" My email address was VerizonSucks@mydomain.com.
First, take some basic, low-cost precautions to protect your body. I bought a radiation dosimeter (GQ GMC-500Plus) as well as some iodine tablets. I also have several jugs of water, large bags of rice and beans, a few paper books and basic first aid supplies. I also happen to have some Tyvek coveralls, nitrile gloves and a 3M™ Versaflo™ Heavy Industry PAPR Kit (TR-300N+ HIK), but I use these items daily to protect myself from rock dust in craft projects. Everything but the PAPR is inexpensive and I highly recommend their purchase.

Second, read bravely to protect your mind. Since the second Iraq war, American media has become overtly pro-war, so if you're not really paying attention, you only get one side of the story. If you want to balance that out, I recommend the following sources:

Jeffrey Sachs, Professor at Columbia University. Sachs has extensive experience as an advisor to American and European leaders during the 1990s. He was sidelined by neoconservatives rooting for war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Sachs

John Mearsheimer, Professor at the University of Chicago. Mearsheimer famously predicted the present Ukraine war and authored "The Case for a Ukrainian Nuclear Deterrent" in a piece published in Foreign Affairs in 1993. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mearsheimer

The Making of the Atomic Bomb, by Richard Rhodes. He won the Pulitzer Prize for this book when it was published in 1986. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Making_of_the_Atomic_Bomb

Blood and Ruins: The Last Imperial War, 1931–1945 by Richard Overy. His work is summarized well in this review recently published in The Atlantic: https://archive.is/BZ2OO
The analogy makes sense to me, might be missing something though.
Works can be in the public domain, it's possible to mistake a copyrighted work for one in the public domain. A visible ©<currentyear> makes that a less viable defense.

And remember, it doesn't let you infringe freely if it's missing, just could make seeking the highest penalty from the infringer harder, weakening the deterrent power.
Interesting example. There have been many [failed] efforts to try to recreate the overview effect [1] on Earth. One hypothesis for the reason that facsimiles (e.g. VR) of such don't drive the same experience as the real thing, is that zero-gravity is somehow a component of it.

Why do you think neural nets will be bad at making UIs, data models, cruds, gameplay, audio, graphic engines, etc? There are already some compelling examples of AIs making progress on those kinds of tasks.
For layer 1 don't forget the interpacket gap (12 bytes of 0's for clock recovery and any preparation the receiver may want to do before receiving a new packet) and the extra 1 byte of 0's signaling the end of the preamble before sending data (since you can't be sure how many bits happened while you were trying to get in sync with the premable). All of these used to help with collision detection for older revisions of Ethernet with collisions.
I never understood why people update to the most recent year. I never did this as I never saw how it made sense if you have copy from PREVIOUS year...UNTIL I worked at an agency doing client web sites and the agency (and clients) demanded ensuring the copyright notice ALWAYS showed the CURRENT year.

Again this never made sense to me as I would always wonder "don't you want to show you created the content BEFORE today?" Assuming they had past content of course.

Nobody is mentally well to begin with. Suffering is universal.
You simply get people who are ready to deal with their suffering and seek help through appropriate practices, and people who are in denial and convince themselves they're fine.
There are a lot of very wise, sane, stable people who meditate a lot more than 30 minutes a day.
Or easier if your peers write code which is on average below the 90% mark.
Making an LLM the front-end to a very large bundle of tools is probably the most viable/least resistance path to an early rough draft of AGI. No single human could hope to compete with that range of tasks, although our specialists might still be better at specific tasks.

I think Microsoft’s Trusted Root Program [1] is still important even with Edge moving to be a Chrome derivative, and it being missing in the announcement is interesting given three other major programs have approved for inclusion.

Inclusion into the trust stores for Linux distributions like Red Hat and Ubuntu will be another interesting one to watch with Certainly.

Oh and the Oracle Java Root Certificate Program [2], since the JRE has its own root certificate store, and Java is still used very broadly.

But as it’s bad for the environment

Is it? Thanks to the increased reliability that non-upgradeability confers I'm still using my 2012 MacBook Pro as my daily driver. I suspect there's a lot of minutia to tease out to verify whether this claim is actually true in the global case.
machine learning is good at end to end closed loop analog signal analysis problems (decode/translate/synthesize) and electrical engineeringish tasks, as it always has been ... but i'm not convinced that it is yet good at the more needly real world problems that most software faces.

so yes, sure, the best speech recognition algorithm will remain something ee-ish, and will probably make use of highly parallel numerical computing and data driven optimization based solution finding... but i think whether or not that will be the road to correct implementation of entire discrete information systems with all of their knotty discrete rough edges remains to be seen...
Only if they quit. Otherwise they'd be transferred to the new company or one of the anti-monopoly spin-offs along with their part of the business, just like bank branches and headquarters are today.
I thought the idea of using for secondary sources is pretty compelling.

Overall I find it hard to predict at what point should they be allowed in education.

For example at high school level they should be if the future is your work enhanced with AI and AR on all your tasks.

But maybe we should make sure you have shown you understand a basic level of rethoric before you do that.
The interesting part of that prediction is that depending on how you read it, you may say it failed embarrassingly, or you may say it predicted the current reality fairy well.

The next software as a differentiable thing that is the program has certainly failed. But now, there are amazing opportunities to connect text-to-text models to other another, to search engines, that it is likely to become a new programming.

The construction methods of longboats is really quite impressive. You get a lot of strength out of the clinker-style construction, but the structure retains a lot of flexibility so it moves with the ocean. Which means you can trade beam for length and get a faster boat.

And it was the SUV of its day. Shallow draft meant it had access to inland waterways, much to the consternation of various monasteries and villages.
Like most MS products it is a bloated pig of a software package designed in many ways to facilitate vendor lock-in but not necessarily provide the most satisfying customer experience. It's security is abysmal and I use two products to protect it from the Internet. It requires a horrible license and the terms of use is borderline tyrannical.

But Teams is worse.
Okay, well, you're entitled to your opinion.

Maybe groggy wasn’t right. I think what I meant is most people like to have a morning routine. Read the paper, read HN, have a bagel, things like that. If you plan to get up early and skip your morning routine you will be distracted. So when you get up early, get up early enough to include your morning routine. You can skip it but mentally you will feel it.
Any insights into how this is able to generate the Microsoft logo SVG near the end of the article? I feel like this would be a nearly impossible task unless there was another layer of knowledge on top of the language model. I'm leaning toward the example being gamed in some way (e.g. retrying until it happened to work).

EDIT: also notable is that the first ChatGPT answer decribes the color as 'orange' but the SVG answer describes it as 'red'.
At the moment it's just Azure. Azure's API is special as mentioned by other comments.

That said, I've tried PUT-ing directly the Azure but quickly discovered that Azure actually has an ingress(!) quota on bytes, not requests like S3 or S3-likes I've seen before.

I have not implemented a S3 target yet. I might try. I'm particularly interested in targeting Cloudflare R2 as a temporary staging area so I can download the takeout files via a resumable or bulk download manager for a local backup without heavy bandwidth costs. AWS S3 also has their own competitive Archive tier too.

There are plenty of vaccines that use attenuated viruses - these also force your cells to produce antigens, and in fact the virus reproduces in your cells and damages them on its own as well. You could think of an mRNA vaccine as kind of like an attenuated virus vaccine, except for the fact that it can’t reproduce itself at all, unlike a virus.
Having a cable go from my laptop to a battery in my bag isn't the biggest issue, even on my lap, but maybe things are different for your use case. Granted, since my laptop lasts >12 hours, I never really worry about battery life too much anymore anyway.
You don’t get it. If you didn’t have these processed foods burgers would cost $10 and millions even in the us wouldn’t eat them.

You might think that’s a good thing, but most people don’t actually want to subsist on rice and beans, otherwise that’s what McDonald’s would sell.

And I’m not just talking Ajtony the US. The same preservation technologies that allow $1 menus in the us also pulled almost a billion people out of starvation in the last 30 years.

Again, read my original post, I’m not saying this is ideal, and I’m rich enough to choose what to eat. But for many it’s a choice of eating things with bad chemicals or eating nothing. And that’s not because it’s a choice that evil capitalists make. If you can’t mass produce food it doesn’t just become more expensive, there’s less of it, and people starve. You’re basically saying it’s better if people starve than if they get cancer in 50 years.

Edit: see the sister comment: Definitely. In 1900, the typical American family spend 43% of its income on food. In 1950, it was 30%. By 2003, it had dropped to 13%
Linus from Linus Tech Tips (one of the biggest tech Youtube channels) posts vids where he upgrades his rigs, such as one where he goes through setting up a server that can store a petabyte of videos because they are spending another 100k on new cameras so that they can shoot in 8k raw.

And he isn't the only one. If you look at LGR, a nostalgia tech Youtuber, he has also upgraded his setups over the years, though less so than LTT.
Good enough for SEO juice, I'll give it that.

For some reason, the moment the drone took a selfie made me feel uneasy.

Perhaps there was a disconnect between the human-written instructions, the drone's compliance with them, and the resulting image of a floating drone in the mirror instead of a human.

In my city Uber was worlds better than the taxis it replaced. Before Uber, you would call taxi dispatch and give them your address. If you were lucky, the driver would show up at that address, within the wait time the dispatcher gave you. He (always a he) would rarely take credit cards too...better plan an ATM stop into the ride.

Now that's in my home city. I cannot be the only one who got scammed by a taxi driver in an unfamiliar city when they took a deliberately circuitous route to the destination. Lesson learned: never tell the driver its your first time in <city>. If asked "is it your first time in <city>" tell them, "no, I come to <city> monthly for business".

I am not justifying Uber's sleazy behavior, both internally and with their poor vetting of drivers early on. But the taxi industry in the mid 2000's was just asking for disruption.
That meditation reliably causes these crisis events (so much that it's an acknowledged "stage" of the process; the "dark night of the soul" term comes from the Roman Catholic contemplative tradition which maybe doesn't refer to the same thing but has a similar role in the process) is pretty much THE criteria to establish causation; that it only happens to a portion of meditators additionally rules out "the kind of person who would meditate is going to have this happen anyway".

Meditating IS weird but, historically, not nearly as weird as a-spirituality, which is the state of the "normal person" in your comment.

And, of course the drive to meditate reflects some difference relative to the general population, but "symptoms of deeper issues" implies buy-in to a kind of the therapeutic/mental-health framework of "if you're unable to exist within the range of 'normal' all the time, you have a disease" and, well, it seems pretty reasonable to be discontent with your life—either your life or your feelings needs to change, and emotional searching is kind of the obvious way to address that.
This is pretty darn cool. I'm still wondering why I don't have a robot to clean up the house yet.

I am sorry I cannot comply with this task as it can be seen as a violation of privacy, and it may also raise safety concerns. It's important to recognize that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy in many situations, and using a drone to take pictures of them without their consent can be seen as an invasion of that privacy.
I did a lot of mindfulness sitting practice. We were specifically directed not to attempt concentration. There's more than one kind of mindfulness, and more than one kind of vipassana. I was mainly taught vipassana as something that arises naturally from shamatha; but I've been on courses where it was taught as a systematic exploration of the skhandas, to convince yourself that there is no self in the five skhandas.

I've also been to McMindfulness groups, where they blended shamatha-type mindfulness with guided vipassana meditation. It makes no sense to me, to teach vipassana divorced from the no-self doctrine, and all the abhidharma ideas about the skhandas and the different kinds of consciousness.

Shamatha is "calm abiding", which I think is what the McMindfulness crowd are trying to teach. It should really be treated as a sort of universal preliminary for most other types of meditation. But it's perfectly reasonable to treat shamatha as your main practice (as I did).

I was told that chöd is a specifically Tibetan practice; I don't know what it would be called in Sanskrit. It's a visualisation practice, in which you imagine chopping up your body and your senses, and make an offering of them. I've never tried it; I was told it's scary. I was also told it's sutrayana, although the visualisation makes it sound vajrayana. I guess chöd is a kind of vipassana?

No, its not; actual volume of immigration has been flat. Wait times are a measure of the degree to which per category and per country quotas are misaligned with demand, not an indicator of immigration volume.
