Yes, this always bothered me as well. It happens to annoy some physicists too, so there has been a resurgence of interest in alternative (less magical?) interpretations of quantum mechanics in the past decade.

Perhaps the most striking is experimental evidence that particles follow "surreal" trajectories: https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1501466

There are other very interesting, and intuitive, features of this line of modeling. I think it's better to have a realistic mental model of the microworld even if the overall QM predictions aren't (obviously, yet) affected. Maybe there's more here than immediately obvious to the mainstream physics community.
In that case, it's a good thing he's around to stop the non-human villains, since presumably the laws about killing and whatnot wouldn't apply to them either.
> This Superman was pure, doing good in the world for goodness’ sake, not for rewards or recognition.

One of the reasons I enjoy reading Superman so much. There's a place for characters like Batman, the Spectre, and Constantine, but sometimes, I just want the lighter aspect that Superman brings.
GPS collars are used when you know, or expect to know, that your dog is within a such and such mile radius in a forest and you need help finding it recover it. They're for when you're out hunting or hiking with an offleash dog and it takes off after a prey item, and you lose sight of it.

Since AirTags rely on Bluetooth and the cooperation of other devices, they're not that useful in some of the situations where you want a GPS collar. If you're worried about a dog getting lost around people, something like an AirTag might be a good addition to your dog's microchip, though.
I do landscape photography and the AI produced landscapes that I've seen have things that are subtly wrong and annoying/disturbing upon inspection. Things like the wrong types of clouds showing up (a lenticular cloud in the wrong spots in the wrong seasons), sunlight coming from multiple angles or the wrong angle for that time of day, reflections in water (or the lack of them), aerial perspective being peculiar, and shadows just being wrong.

While I don't doubt that someday, an AI of some sort will be able to get that right, the knowledge of the items in the scene and how that relates to the physical world isn't something that that the current models are able to recreate.
They should've IPOed when valuations went into massive bubble territory in 2020/2021... have to wonder what kind of logic they were using to wait so long.

If you can IPO at a ~100x sales multiple, what more do you really need? Hard to feel sorry for those that chose to stay private for a decade+ while the getting was good
They’ll never be their true selves.
If it was that simple you'd see languages coalesce around 1-3 winners, kinda like what's happened with every IDE under the sun integrating with git.

A lot of this has to do with the semantics of how a language imports its dependencies.

For example: Look deeply into a NuGet package. It often has multiple builds, because in the .net ecosystem, 3rd party libraries are always dynamically linked. These different builds can be different versions of .net, and may include native dlls for different instruction sets.

Npm and cargo tend to bring in source code. Cargo lets you suck in a git repo directly. This is totally different than .net; again because these systems are source code based.
You aren't using the term 'rent seeking' correctly. Rent seeking is manipulating government policy to extract profit, in the absence of any actual benefit. For example, paying lobbyists to convince the government to give your industry a subsidy. Rent seeking doesn't mean 'capturing profit', that's just normal economic activity.
Being able to use non-monospace fonts is another great feature too.
There is an app like that. It’s called mewe, when Facebook was being especially egregious in some privacy overreach a bunch of people I know checked it out, but we were so burned from all the other social networks that we weren’t willing to use it like we had used to use Facebook. I think that time has just passed.
But now (with Twitter) I can't trust anything I read without double-checking carefully it is not a fake account (and even then I cannot be sure). At least beforehand I was able to trust that Twitter has done the basic KYC.

The Meta implementation therefore seems smarter (depends on gov ID).
That's reassuring!

However, I find bringing the concept of "soul" into the equation to be helpful, because many people intuitively believe in such things. If you ask them if souls are important, they'll say yes. If you ask them if something special happens to souls after death, they might say yes. But ask them to define what they mean when they say "soul", and you'll get a ton of hand-waving. People can believe very strongly in things they can't even describe or point to: this always puzzles me, because it shows that people don't even know what it is they believe in in the first place.

Whether the concept of "consciousness" is as ridiculous as the concept of a "soul" or not, I have found that they both suffer from the same definition problem.

There are many, many concepts which throughout History entire societies have shared a belief in, but which didn't map to real things that could be defined precisely. A "soul" is one of those, but other examples abound in the History of science and in the History of medicine.
I think you've spent too much time smelling and looking at farts (read: fine arts) if you think there's something particularly fascinating about leaving a painting outdoors.
Avoid careers that have been devalued to a greater extent by the following:

I’ve been using this for the past week. Game changer is absolutely right.

I spent hours trying to get a specific pose, hundreds of generations and seed changes, trying to dial in aspects of one vs another, taking aspects I like and clumsily patching together a Krita mash up then passing that back through img2img… only to get something kinda close.

One shot with canny or depth on Controlnet and I had exactly what I wanted.

Amazing how fast and easily it works. It’s been a WILD 6 months that this tech has been available.

The government works for us (the people, as well as businesses owned by people). We already pay for government services in the form of taxes. If anything, government services should generally be free (we do make some exceptions for use fees to avoid free rider problems and general waste, but we would balk at very high fees).
Not every customer will take that option. The PBP is 0 for that customer, not the entire population.

Stack machines look cool until you realize you could save all the stack mumbling by using registers. At this point, you could try to make a full VM instead.
That's why I asked what I asked. Nowhere in the story is there any evidence the DMCA claim is false, except for the word of the developer. Since that developer agreed to give credit for story elements and then rescinded that agreement, it seems a little murkier than just "this guy says so, so they claims must be false." I was wondering if you had any additional information.
Those with the domain expertise stay away because of this culture.
This is a really cool idea, thanks for sharing
To be fair, using Meta isn't exactly required, and they have no power over you if you don't use it. Experian will collect information about you as long as you take any credit ever, even if you never directly interact with them.
Thanks, but none of that is evidence. I agree with your assessment but it's all just speculation.
Ah, the talker is not me, I'm just a fan of the concept
Yeah, better than collecting dust at home
A model can become a cage. Although the QM "infinite trajectories" interpretation is fine at explaining what happens in a quantum system from the perspective of an observer. But it doesn't provide any intuition about how the systems really behave. There may be ways to get access to more realistic interpretations. If we had them they might help us work with quantum systems.
Thats a great idea
Yes, precisely like that.
Sure looks like its headed that way
My understanding as a non-lawyer is that legal personhood is not predicated on membership in the human species. It is predicated on whatever precedent has established. And that there are important distinctions made in law between legal persons and natural persons. Which is why even a corporation can be considered as having personhood, and why there has been some controversy as to whether great apes in general have legal personhood.

Both legal personhood and natural personhood are just legal constructs that aren't defined by species except through precedent, which could change at any time. And, of course, membership in the human species in a scientific sense is certainly meaningless legally, as can be seen with abortion law. A fetus is not universally granted personhood rights, despite being a human in terms of genetics and taxonomy.

Slavery is another example where we can clearly see that natural personhood, as defined by the courts, was not synonymous with membership in the human species.

So, whatever unwritten standards are being used to determine personhood by the legal system could very well apply to extraterrestrials, for all we know.

In fact, the very notion of a species didn't exist when these legal concepts were invented. They go back at least to English Common Law, if not Roman Law or Biblical law or earlier.
"GPT" and "comprehension" are orthogonal.
That's basically stack ranking. You can stack rank employees from critical to least important, as well as entire departments. But like with all management systems, it too can be gamed.

People put their friends ahead of others, or they might fire one half of a married couple over a worse employee that's the single wage earner. At a defense contractor I once worked at, we talked about it being highly dangerous to be married to another employee.
You should be able to still delete it with a GDPR request. However if you have no actual way to prove the account is yours then it's not really reasonable for them to delete it.
The title irks me for a different reason. An improvement would be "Reality Considered As a Sum of All Possible Realities".

This is an interpretation/model you can choose. It doesn't seem falsifiable or provable.

"The sweater I wear today may be a sum of all sweaters is my wardrobe" - yeah, it is if you choose to think of it that way.
Amusingly, identical twins still get off the hook for this. And I read on HN recently that in places with particularly egregious automatic enforcement, it becomes popular to wear a ski mask while driving
Having worked at Microsoft where SAL is used extensively, I can tell you it's entirely inadequate for actually preventing memory safety issues. At best it can give you things in the category of better warnings. At worst, you can annotate incorrectly or not at all, so it doesn't even work with correct info.
I wonder what the age breakdown is. I could see a lot more younger people never having needed to get credit yet. If you still live with your parents and go to college or whatever you don't really need credit.

After that though you can't even really rent an apartment without a credit check so I'm not sure what you would do (I guess if you have a partner that handles it for you).
Because new-developer market is huge. There are more beginner/intermediate developers than seniors by a large margin. It gets the clicks.

As an anecdote our technical blogs covering vital industry techniques and news get like 10% of the readers of our introduction blogs do. I'd imagine the best selling progamming books are the ones aimed at beginners too.
> [...] no way indicative of a system that exudes agency or deliberative thought, nor one that "understands" or models the world as a human would.

Certainly not - its architecture doesn't model ours. But it has taken a huge step forward in our direction in terms of capabilities, from early to late 2022.

As its reasoning gets better, simply a conversation with itself could become a kind of deliberative thought.

Also, as more data modalities are combined, text with video and audio, human generated and recordings of the natural world, etc., more systematic inclusion of math, its intuition about solving bespoke geometry problems, and other kinds of problems, are likely to improve.

Framing a problem is a lot of the solving of a problem. And we frame geometry with a sensory driven understanding of geometry that the current ChatGPT isn't being given.

> What other categories of high tech reached their absolute peak right when everyone started to notice them?

Just in the last decade – crypto/blockchain/web3, VR/AR, metaverse, smart glasses, 3D TVs, foldable phones, modular phones, chatbots, hyperloop, package delivery robots/drones.

Every single one of these areas had all the top tech talent behind it, billions in VC funding, flashy demos and outsized public hype, but ultimately they all fizzled out due to technology barriers or lack of demand or a real use case.

Actual world-changing innovations may seem obvious in hindsight, but every grand prediction and bet about the future of tech is a lot more likely to fail than succeed.

> It's like someone looking at a car in the early 1900s and saying "this may be the peak of automotive technology, who knows".

And that may have been a fair assessment for the time without the benefit of a crystal ball. Someone else who said the same thing when looking at blimps was 100% correct. In fact if you asked people of that time where the future of transportation would go, a large majority would have said "flying cars", because that was the obvious technological evolution at the time just as self driving tech is for us right now.
CDK-tf fixes that.

CDK is basically a make for makefiles using imperative code.

So you can just as easily target terraform with it.
FYI, Burnout is not well-defined: "with symptoms characterized by 'feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and reduced professional efficacy'" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_burnout)

... So, while you may well be burned out, aphantasia is not a symptom of burnout.

"While burnout may influence health and can be a reason for people contacting health services, it is not itself classified by the WHO as a medical condition or mental disorder." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_burnout
So how do feed the Human population?

If you mismanage the resource you have, you will not be able to feed said human population. A dustbowl feeds 0 people. This is what happens in said parts of Africa. The well managed pasture or well managed tree'd Africa feeds whatever number > 0 it feeds. Bulldozing it all may feed some more people initially, especially w/ petroleum based fertilizer, causing population growth. Until it turns into said dustbowl and now you have an African country that is dependent on imports to survive and people are still suffering and dying of hunger. That's also what I meant with the single earth being capable of feeding these people. With the dustbowl American bulldozers created in Africa, they are dependent on imports of corn and rice and wheat. With trees growing again they can graze livestock and plant traditional millet that is well adapted to their parts of the world and feed themselves again.

Stealth means ... great for chemical companies

I'd first go with Occam's Razor here. The simplest answer is probably that it's not a conspiracy but pure and simple greed. That's also where people like Gabe Brown might be able to get to people. While it creates healthy soil and is "good for the environment", in the talks I've seen he specifically touts the profits he's making with his methods. This might be the one 'trick' that works in the end.

I dont know why more isnt spent pumping desalinated water into the deserts

I've like to come back to the previous exhibit of Occam's Razor and money and greed. None of that seems like it's particularly cheap, effective - what would 'flooding the desert' actually do? - or making any money.
The first link is just straight speculation and bad reporting as it shows the authors disdain and bias for the subject matter. The second link is even worse beginning with an editorialization of “thin skinned” the whole rest of the article is moot. We can’t know if any of it is accurate if the author starts off with such bias against the very subject of the article. The third link has nothing to do with Elon. It’s a low profile block of an account that was breaking multiple laws. Not sure what you expect there.

The security aspect is a struggle. Something like shellshock [1] needs to be patched immediately, which really requires automation. With shellshock, even self-hosted static hosting could be impacted. Similar vulnerabilities be discovered in the future.

I'd want to isolate anything external facing from the rest of my home network for that reason.

I'm not sure, they usually work on volume. They might make 1000 fake accounts and only profit from a handful of those. They might only make a few thousand $ from those accounts, and adding $10,000 on top wipes it out entirely. Sure if they are doing some sophisticated spear fishing attack them the $10 doesn't matter, but in practice that's not what usually occurs.

Why Does the South Have Such Ugly Credit Scores?
I thought so too. Then when I wanted to sponsor my wife's immigration application, the government wanted to see that we'd posted sufficient photos of our relationship on social media as evidence that it was a legitimate relationship and not visa fraud. Once something becomes normal, there's a penalty to being different, I guess.

Ask HN: Features you'd want in a Twitter Competitor?
I'm building Sage - The platform that Twitter
was supposed to be.

Twitter has accumulated a lot of unnecessary features and bloat over recent years.

Sage is my brainchild which aims to be a stripped-down version of Twitter focusing more on the community platform side of things, without all the bells and whistles.

There will be the highest level of privacy and security with a promise of having no ads on the platform ever.

There is a huge market gap in the community and social landscape for Sage.

What are the features that you would want in such a platform?
I'm not super up to date with the web-dev world - but I think the folks in the react-and-company space have taken this the natural step forward

With subscription/contexts you get to really pare down the whole imperative shell part. They allow you to keep using reproducible pure functions, but memoization allows you drastically minimize state management and to cache intermediary values, so you're not recomputing the whole world each time. When the state changes the whole system elegantly only recomputes the pieces that are strictly necessary. You don't need to do anything manually - it all just happens automatically

For some reason I don't see this being picked up in generally outside of GUI/Web space. But the input side of state is semi-solved as I see it

The output side still needs "management" or a "shell" of sorts

(for context, I've only really played with this through Clojure's cljfx GUI library)

It might be if you are using the bot as an AI assistant.

I do not see any inherently unfixable issues when the bot is used as it is intended, an NLP search engine. Google is already SEO'ed to death and beyond. It is up to Microsoft to address this problem but it is not an indication of the bot being "dangerous" or "rushed product". It does what it needs to when used as it was meant to.

The early internet was filled with illegal activities and abhorrent contents. Users misusing a product doesn't mean the product is bad, it just means there needs to be regulations. Like I mentioned, there are values in knowing the edge cases or the boundaries of the bot's behavior. But when it is presented in a clickbaity way and willingness to break the rules, the problem isn't solely on the product anymore.
Unfortunately it typically results in a boring story, since you know the all powerful being is going to win and get awarded for saving the city with little personal conflict involved, besides by having to choose between saving the damsel in distress or saving the city (which is nullified when you consider his ability to go super-speed/freeze time). The most that can come from these stories is a villain that has a unique madness, or uses unique methods to achieve their goals.

The last time they tried to "compromise" was called the Minsk accords, and Putin quickly taught the Ukrainians an important lesson about trusting anything he says. Compromise is simply not an option. Unfortunately, the only options are victory or defeat. The vast majority of Ukrainians are very clear eyed about this.

> But the very definition of reality is what we experience

If you're an anti-realist when it comes to science. I suspect a lot of scientists think there's plenty of reality we don't experience, such as quarks, dark matter or the interior of black holes. Or what lies beyond our light cone (probably a lot more of the same), given the flat topology that's been measured.

Sean Carol has argued for the Many Worlds Interpretation being a true description of reality, even though we can only experience the decohered branch (world) we're on.
