I believe there are far greater examples of sociopaths than those who have lost faith in humanity and desire to not prolong the agony of our own self destruction.

Hoping an AI destroys humanity and replaces it is a cynical and optimistic view because it encapsulates the hope that one of our creations will be able to do better than us when we prove each day that other than technological progress we have not made any other kind of progress.

Such a person would be described as a misanthrope, not a sociopath. I would even argue that due to the underlying hyperawareness of humanities selfinflicted suffering, a misanthrope is unlikely to be a sociopath.

But isn’t the cash’s purchasing power getting inflated away, at say 6.4%, so the liquidity evaporates?

We can all be given millions (super liquid) but that doesn’t make us millionaires in terms of purchasing power. At first it seems like everyone is rich, then folks realize it’s funny money and suppliers raise prices. Since money is (dynamically) valued by what you can buy with it.

So the seller of the house sold for a million, for example, but it turns out they actually have ~850k if they sat on the cash for a couple years.
Interestingly, I've found copilot has been getting seriously dumber I feel.

Seemingly simple things that I could Google in 5 mins (which I feel is really really what copilot is good for) it seems to be struggling more and more with.

This weekend I asked it to write "an event listener that listens for when a user cmd + clicks and binds the event to the onCmdClick function" in a Vue app.

I tried around 3 different variation's of the prompt, it just COULD NOT figure out that it needed to check if the cmd key was down. All it would do is just bind "click" events to the function I mentioned.
Yeah I've also wondered the same, i.e. I view it as a closed system and excess liquidity usually results in inflation until demand matches supply of money
This is an echo of Stroustrup argument that other nice languages have no user. Sure Java enterprise beans was whacky but saying it got no scrutiny is inaccurate. It got lot of scrutiny and criticism and that is why it moved into the direction of POJO from EJB madness. Things have become better in that land.

Javascript is not getting hate because it is now famous so people are jealous and are hurling non-sensical abuses. The problem many of us see is that Javascript is famous, a critical piece of tooling and Javascript evangelists are still working in the teenager I-will-just-type-it-again mode.

By now, things should have progressed to a stage where doing simple things was simple.

If a clever malicious extension can’t inject malware using non-blocking webRequest, I’ll eat my hat. For that matter, injecting malware using declarativeNetRequest doesn’t look particularly hard. I find it very hard to believe that the restriction on, specifically, blocking webRequest is genuinely motivated by security.

If Chrome really wanted a minimal change here to improve security, they might have restricted webRequest to only permit blocking the request but not modifying it.

This seems to be reflected in that you cannot find any official Docker images, for example: https://hub.docker.com/search?q=identityserver

Contrast that to: https://hub.docker.com/r/keycloak/keycloak (admittedly, the Bitnami containers are better, since those provide good documentation right in Docker Hub, instead of being lazy like Keycloak did and just putting it on their site)

Overall, the licensing situation with IdentityServer seems interesting, perhaps a bit more restrictive than Keycloak or other competitors: https://leastprivilege.com/2020/10/01/the-future-of-identity...

Regardless, to me being able to download software without messing about with signups and justifying why I need it feels like a good litmus test for some of the culture and community behind it. Regardless, I don't think that there are any truly excellent solutions in this space out there.

Then again, you see basically the same with the likes of OpenLDAP, FreeIPA and others that still don't quite compete with Microsoft's AD. There's a lot of problems (identity and device management, authentication/authorization gateways etc.) that could have great OSS solutions for them, if at the end of the day everything didn't circle back to money. Oh well.

Well not exactly, as turing completeness requires infinite memory, and the subleq operands are of finite sizes (and so the addresses they addresses).
But, it's like C isn't realy TC as the basic types in it are bounded by there sizes. Your computer doesn't need TC, as it has a finite size too.

>What am I getting wrong?

You are correct when taking the view of the financial sector as a whole - every asset purchase merely swaps who has the cash and who has the asset. You're not getting much of anything wrong, merely missing a behavioral trait of many market participants: they desire a fixed ratio between their various financial assets. An extreme example of this is an index fund, which has a formulaic relationship between their book value and how much of what assets they own.

In essence, what happens is that cash gets dumped into the laps of various market participants, who then notice that they have "too much" cash. They then bid on various assets until there no longer is "too much" cash in the system for the total value of assets around.
Sounds like it was an exercise in compliance box-ticking. It’s like an honest DEI seminar.
It looks like an asset flip and all the gameplay footage so far has seemed exceptionally boring. Probably the only entertaining part of any of this was the terminally online people catastrophizing about purchasing the game LITERALLY killing Ukrainians.

Depends on the AC vacuum — my old Dyson V6 in turbo mode outsucks most AC-powered vacuums I've dealt with. Sometimes new tech is just better.
Blender has nice UX (the new versions, used to be horrible) but sadly what is holding opensource CAD back for me is the poor constraints and parametric modeling backend.

Anything beyond simple polyhedra and booleans runs into a problem. Fillets, chamfers, sweeps and lofts don't work well. It's a shame.
I'm super glad this exists, this space definitely needs compelling open source alternatives to bring back the hobbyists scene from proprietary offerings (mostly fusion360), and every effort should be encouraged since this is a very difficult nut to crack.

I known my way around CAD software and so I gave this a shot around 4 months ago, but it looked frankly alien and relied a lot on blender idiosyncrasies and baggage that most people with a CAD background would likely be missing. Basic things were hard to find and simple things were hard to do. I also had doubts that the foundations are sound (whatever engine props this up seems to be using floating point numbers instead of parametric equations, so things like pockets on top of coincident lines would incorrectly leave infinitesimal volumes of material).

I should give it a new look but the road ahead will likely be very long.
> The reason we don't see our own typos is because what we see on the screen is competing with the version that exists in our heads

Which is why reading text backwards can help to find typos, or so I've heard. (Typos tend to jump out at me, even in my own writing.)
Exactly: any constellation built with pre-falcon9 rockets might be non-Musk, but it won't even be remotely starlink-like. They'd inevitably aim for orbits higher than "throwaway-LEO" and the much sparser constellations those orbits enable (lines of sight less constrained by horizon) will cause considerably more latency (far from geostationary-bad, but a meaningful quality difference) even if the inherent SNR drawbacks were somehow solved. It seems quite rational for governments to desire a fallback, but it won't ever be more than that and as long as starlink is on the market any hope for significant customer contribution seems unwarranted.

Without rocket parity to f9, it's just hopeless to get meaningful customer contribution as long as starlink exists. At least as long as they don't find some miracle tech to massively extend VLEO lifetimes (solar powered VLEO Bussard jet or something similarly far out), but even with that the numbers required would be virtually unachievable without an f9 equivalent (it's a somewhat crazy project even with the f9!).

They should absolutely go for it, if they consider having a starlink fallback worth the investment, but they should really not base that decision on illusionary hopes for customer contribution.
There will just be people who are employed to wield these tools, select, curate and combine these images into whoever commissioned the work.

I don't know who all these tools are really aimed at? As a software engineer, I'd still prefer to pay someone to mess with any type of "art" or design while I focus on other things.

I mean even if I had an AI program that I could use to code, to do SRE, to do images, to do accounting etc, I still think someone would need to be in charge or making these things happen, or else I'd just be busy prompting machines all day, which sounds mad fatiguing and boring.
Many people are expecting it to be like BioShock, Wolfenstein, or even Half-Life - an FPS game with solid mechanics and great alt-history world building that features a strong social/political ideology. This combo has been very successful in games. So I think expectations for Atomic Heart are high.

As with games like Wolfenstein, I think the mainstream media has confused glorifying a regime with exploring it. And Mundfish (the developer) hasn't handled it well. I think there may inherintly be some ambiguity between glorifying and richly exploring certain themes in a game, but games like Wolfenstein have made it abundantly clear that they do not glorify their political themes (Nazism). On the other hand, Mundfish have strongly leaned into glorifying the USSR and Russia in their marketing, particularly distastefully choosing the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine for their release date. I still think that mainstream media has jumped to the conclusion that Atomic Heart glorifies USSR and communism far too quickly. We should not make that judgement before we play the game and see its actual story.

So overall, there's a lot of hype for the game, it might be pretty good. But also MSM is generating negative buzz, and Mundfish don't seem to have the expertise to handle the exploration-glorification confusion that so many games handled better in the past.

Also, it's "leaked" and not "pirated" because it hasn't been released yet. And the process for leaking a game vs cracking it to make a pirated release is very different.
Yes, per the article -- the reason store-bought stock (minimum water-to-protein ratio 1:135) never reduces to a gelatin (like homemade) is that the homemade has Much higher protein content.

Agree, although it gets tricky with translations.

For childrens litterature there is a tradition of re-tellings of classics. But this seem to present as the original, which is problematic.

Some jurisdictions have the concept of moral rigts, which mean you cannot alter an original work even if you own the copyright or it is public domain.
> Remember that decade where Firefox shed market share to Chrome for being too "slow" and "bloated"? Yeah, and it was that way because Mozilla couldn't change a damn thing without half of the entire extensions ecosystem imploding with every release.

This is misleading. Like wildly so. The imprimatur that the Firefox team was working under meant that they absolutely could, and very often did, break things from release-to-release.

The long, slow decline related to slowness at the core of Firefox had very little to do with extensions (the unwillingness to break them, that is). The real reason is that the work needed for what was eventually delivered in the overhaul that made XUL obsolete was work of the sort that takes a long time to complete. If anyone had stumbled upon working patchsets for those goals stuff through divine revelation and had the ability to say so, then they would have broken things sooner.

If anything, keeping XUL extensions around while all this work was being done helped prop up Firefox's user numbers for a while longer. (Compare to if XUL, while still technically viable, had been killed 10 years ago with a feature flag by fiat and then multiprocess, parallel rendering, and other deliverables related to Gecko Rustification were still as many years away as they actually were.)
As C and Subleq aren't turing complete, it isn't too.
Yet it can do somehow effectively any computation your cpu can as it can do and, not, and memory accesses. It seems to actually implement many of the usefull operations in its standard library
> Because despite controlnet solving their complaints about how the AI isn't controllable precisely, it doesn't solve the real problem, that drawing skills are massive devalued

At this point if I was an artist I'd probably be looking for a way to leverage my existing skills into AI art, because it seems like drawing skills will go the way of the horse and carriage.

I feel bad because this has happened so quickly. Previously it seems like there was a longer transition period.

This kind of transition has got me thinking the same about coding though. If AI programming does indeed take over, my programming skills will likely be massively devalued.

If you believe this is going to happen, how should you prepare for it? Start learning prompting now? Get involved with building these AIs? Etc.

> If I had to criticize Dennis for something, it would be this deliberate decision to castrate the community.

Two lessons about reality:

I read the first few novels. They are told in a matter-of-fact style, nothing very spectacular happens and Maigret is anything but charismatic. It sounds dry but the realism is very refreshing and must have been even more so at the time.
For anyone curious about viable alternatives, personally Matomo Analytics is good. You can anonymize IP addresses, go fully cookieless, but also use GeoIP if needed (at least for rough locations, depending on how much of the original address you choose to leave).

I've been using it for a few years, it also seems to be fairly easy to run and has most of the features that I'd expect: https://matomo.org/

For something simpler (less focus on page transitions, device and performance metrics etc.) I've also heard good things about Plausible Analytics which advertise being cookieless and compliant with various legislation as well: https://plausible.io/

It's not that clear-cut. Humans can empathize, to the point where observing someone getting hurt flares similar neural response to the one in the hurt person. Sufficiently vivid imagination in conjunction with a lot of research can give you an experience "close enough" to the real deal to be able to write about it. I've witnessed an author falling into a deep, clinical depression solely due to the subject they decided to tackle. Not every person is capable of such a deep dive into an experience they nominally don't have, but authors and artists tend to be able to do this. In such a setting, "personal experience" is a fluid term, not necessarily synonymous with "he was there at the time personally" or "it happened to him personally".

When you wake up from a nightmare, you're covered in cold sweat, you have trouble breathing normally, your hands are shaking - did you "personally experience" what you've dreamed of? Authors and artists are in a business of dreaming like that while awake, and sharing those dreams with others.

The AI will surely get there at some point, as others noted, once you model embodiment and imagination it's game over. But it's not as close as others seem to think, in my opinion.

I don't think education has anything to do with this. AI tools are pretty easily accessible to anyone and you don't need a "classical education" to wield them.

If anything, I think the necessity of education is going to be weakened further and more quickly in the next decade.
Eater is making an interesting choice with its cookie policy. It doesn't matter if you click Accept (the only option!) or not, it will still load the TikTok video, a platform that's well-known for its notorious tracking.

"By choosing I Accept, you consent to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies."

Is Eater able to make an exception for TikTok in this context? At least for the news sites that I consume, they will typically overlay TikTok/Facebook/Instagram content with a form that asks you to reveal the said content in exchange for that platform getting data on you.

Here it looks like Eater just doesn't care at all.

Sorry for being so off-topic, but I just couldn't help to notice it.
Draw comics, or really manga in particular.
The only real challenge in AI art, that won't be solved any time soon, is storytelling: chaining multiple panels together for coherent stories.
Even ChatGPT cannot tell a coherent story longer than 2 paragraphs. Being able to write a long story well, requires understanding world modelling, human motivations , etc, AGI tier abilities.

Also, expose them to AI-art. If they lose interest in art after seeing AI art, that means they were never meant to be artists, they merely like to draw, not to make art. And drawing alone is not really economically useful anymore.

It's still cheap compared to that.

If you want an emergency services vehicles to get to your house you need a road anyway.

If you want buses and coaches to function, you need roads.

If you want to transport a bootload of stuff more than three times a year you're financially better off paying for a car than renting.

If yor kids have school anywhere that isn't walking/cycling distance from your house, then you need a car, or two.

If you have a job, and don't want to be beholden to a very local employer, you likely need a car. Except if you live close to a train station and your job is close to another one. And except in the last five years, when some jobs can now be remote.

If you want to go anywhere that a train doesn't go, you need a car, probably. Which is everywhere outside of extremely high density urban areas that can afford an underground rail system.

You need any of those things to be true for a road to be needed. You likely need a car for all but the first two. Cars and roads are valuable. I don't see how that's debatable.

Trains are now location-specific optimisations where we know we have hotspots of usefulness, where it's worth laying track and having massive investment as enough people will use that route.

Just as a circuit-switched phone call is a better connection, but packet-switched is better overall, and cheaper, so are trains and cars.
