> Please lay out your definition of smart?

Firstly, I agree that "smart enough" is what we should focus on here, as I tried to emphasize with my focus on utility.

Secondly, I'm assuming your intent is to ask me when I would consider an AI to be "smart" in the context of my comment. I think I should avoid that question, and perhaps even retract my statement. There is plenty of evidence that ChatGPT is smarter than some humans. All of your 'problems', as you might realize, are equally applicable to some people.

Putting that aside, a model would need to at least be able to internalize any corrections made (by a user, and not necessarily only in the context of training) and reliably produce results consistent with such an internalization, for me to consider it smart-er (i.e., an improvement on today's AI IQ). To be smart without qualification, it would need to go further, into the realm of being able to hold opposing ideas while functioning consistent to a given user's expectations (this one will be big, because it will act as a defense against trolls and misinformation). Bonus points if it's able to improve upon its own learning algorithms and ruminate on ideas (unsupervised learning that is inspired by previous input and not stochastic in nature) without necessitating constant external dialogue.
I understand your point, but at the end of the day they were not doing what they said they were. People were expecting their shoes to be processed and turned into something new, something that would theoretically help with the development of the recycling tech.

Shipping shoes over the ocean is not the most eco-friendly thing.

Additionally: do we know the shops in Indonesia are going to recycle them? Or is it more likely they will sit in a store for years and are then thrown out?

This is precisely what is happening.

The whole philosophical debate is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Of course things happen even if a human doesn’t observe it. Then they have to make up something about a magical religious figure hearing the tree.

Right. The lack of clear benefit has never stopped a company from making a decision before.
It's really not. I'm quite terrible from any industry perspective.

F# isn't hard, it's just different. Hell in many ways i'd argue it's much much easier once you get used to it. It doesn't have the support C# does so often you're stuck with a library that WILL work but doesn't have documentation for doing it in F#, and that can lead to struggles, but that's not really a sign of being a good coder.

Most dotnet developers could probably code circles around me in F# if they knew it existed/gave it a chance.

Personally I stuck with it because it had the low code look of python with strong typing. It took a bit to wrap my head around some functional stuff (basically map/iter = foreach and if you want to update something on each loop you probably want a fold, or more likely a built in function), but once I got over that hurdle it was pretty smooth sailing.

The irony is that by far the hardest part is the library thing, which your average dotnet dev would handle WAAAAY better than me.

I have a suggestion for a test for you ;

A Yogi master I once knew said to not eat onions (nightshades) as they interfere with your psychic aura or something.

Since you seem to have a handle on your diet, may I request you do an cleanse of sorts and not eat onions for ~1 month and report if you feel any differences?

I’m not saying there might not be another way.

But iTunes and the other big music distribution power players have requirements and use encoding technologies based on loudness rather than power. [1]

This is why your playlists don’t require adjusting the volume between songs from different artists/albums/eras/genres.

So it is likely that Apple’s method works hand in hand with the technical constraints of iTunes requirements and other streaming encodings.

And why the threat of Apple’s patent may be providing a moat. Like Dolby, except that licensing patents isn’t a core revenue stream for Apple.

[1] TFA doesn’t cut a bright line between power and loudness within its argument. But that’s a critical part of contemporary audio engineering in today’s commercial music production.
> Isn't "it's okay to be white" a sort of a slogan used frequently by extremist groups?

If people who say "it's okay to be white" are labeled extremists, then isn't the problem the people doing the labeling? Should anybody who thinks that is an extremist position be allowed to label anybody or anything?

You can recycle PLA scraps yourself. The only problem is that devices for this are so expensive that it isn’t worthwhile economically and you likely do not have enough scraps.

you also need to separate your prints properly so that other plastics are not contaminating the scraps.

You also need to buy pellets in order to get a good color.

And also the recycled PLA will probably end up being inferior to the stuff you will buy.

There is not enough written text to scale a model like ChatGPT at even 10x its current parameters, so improvements will have to come from optimizations and/or longer training (at diminishing returns).

Which then you should realize is the crux of the alignment problem.

Humans generally have the same alignment constraints, we need food, shelter, air, water, etc. We can all agree on that. But if you give 10 humans $1 and 1 human $1 billion dollars the human with a billion dollars can quickly ignore and forget about the needs of those with $1. The human alignment problem is not solved!

With the potential for all knowing information ingestors with a realtime input system that far outstrips human capabilities, the delta of the problem just becomes worse, particularly because the AI goals are much more likely to be aligned with the billionaires ideas.
This looks like a step in the right direction. If someone could make it easy to get another OS on here, we'd really be in good shape.
No, I specifically said city.
The hype around ChatGPT is massive! I haven't seen this much buzz since the iPhone launch. Back in 2008, I remember having debates with my friends about the future of Nokia just a few days after it launched. Since then, I've witnessed the rise and fall of several tech waves, including mobile apps, cloud, SaaS, and crypto. It's been exciting to see so many people ride these waves and create wealth in the process. Will I be one of the lucky ones this time around is the only question.
This is an interesting statement, obviously, cash assets suffer inflation, but is this where money is to be stole?
If prices are going up, and I have goods or stock in companies that sell goods benefiting increased price, has anything really been stolen?

I would think that intentional inflation is a signal to spend faster, holding money is bad. Nothing to do with theft.

I think it's harder if you already know C# or some other OO language. I really think it would be easier, or about the same, to teach a raw beginner the basics of F# vs C#.

The only reason F# winds up feeling harder isn't so much how F# works, but simply because the entire dotnet environment was built for C# first, so you do need to know how to handle the C# style. I do think that if you could just pick one and then suddenly have every library support it's styles, F# would probably be easier overall because it's just got a lot of nice features built in that make updating your code so much easier.

Are you saving the match pairs somewhere? I imagine 1) there are a finite number of them, 2) doing an exact lookup in a DB first will be faster and easier than calling GPT3 and Pinecone every time, and 3) eventually GPT3 APIs will get pricey enough to make you think twice unless you're running your own instance on a cluster.
In modern society, we prioritize the ease of bringing new products to market over regulation and testing. The only industry we prospectively regulate for safety is the pharmaceutical industry. Otherwise, regulation is retrospective and slow.

Look at the way we regulate harmful chemicals. After studies find that chemicals found in consumer products are harmful, manufacturers spend several years redesigning their products to avoid them. After manufacturers have voluntarily redesigned their products, the chemicals are banned. The manufacturers often replace the harmful chemicals with structurally similar chemicals that have not yet been shown to be harmful. When those similar chemicals are shown to be harmful, the cycle repeats. This is the history of phthalates, which are used to soften PVC plastic. The CPSC first considered banning one phthalate (DEHP) in children's toys the 1980s. Before that happened, all large manufacturers replaced it by another phthalate (DINP), which also turned out to be harmful. Both DEHP and DINP were finally banned by congressional action in 2008.

Technology is not a chemical, but anything that people will be spending significant time interacting with is likely to have some effect on their wellbeing, potentially small but potentially large, potentially positive but potentially negative. The type of harms these chatbots might cause are difficult to predict in advance. It could take a couple years to determine whether the current generation of chatbots are actually a net positive or negative for society. In that time, they may become too entrenched for us to do anything if they do turn out to be harmful. When Facebook first came out, I doubt many people foresaw the negative impact that it could have on teenagers. Today, many studies show that social media use has a negative impact on kids' wellbeing, but there is no going back to a pre-social media world.

Prospectively testing and regulating tech in the same way we regulate pharma seems insane. OTOH, we do want to make sure that world-changing tech actually changes the world for the better, and the only obvious way to do this is through some kind of regulation. Although regulation will undoubtedly slow growth, many of us would be happy to sacrifice some growth for improved wellbeing. At this point, everyone has seen the productivity-pay gap plot showing that most of the improvement in US productivity since 1979 has not translated into increases in real wages. Our current "growth at almost any cost" strategy benefits corporations much more than it benefits the average person.
Not in the slightest and it's outlined in detail.

Initial deployment and long term maintenance of DMARC is made harder, while messages that should never be delivered at all due to the work of other 3rd parties are allowed through. The specification ironed out all of the reasons for these procedures when it was originated. There's nothing about Office 365 that should make it a special exception to the specification.

It's everybody else's reject policies not being enforced that are the problem, not your own.
You can tack, but usually you can't do it just with the rudder. As you are turning towards the wind, keep the topsail braced up (and loosen the headsails). You need to be able to turn far enough into the wind for the topsail to be aback. After that the wind blowing on the topsail should, hopefully, be enough to push you around the rest of the way; you might come to a stop, or be making sternway, but you should eventually go round through the wind.

Edit: the tutorial level, getting out of harbour, is practice for this.

That humans are by and large a host for the bacteria in our gut and elsewhere -- and the degree to which these (happy or unhappy) tenants can impact our behavior -- is something I constantly struggle to find controversial.

Look at the mountain of studies on T. Gondii alone, and then tell me with a straight face the several dozen odd other strains present in our gut microbiome under normal working conditions don't exert any similar sort of effect.

"Happy bacteria, happy host" is my motto, I try to do things within reason to appease our tiny bacterial overloads.

It's 100% the latter. I get "ok we don't want to mix codebases" and that's fine, but if you can code in C# you can probably get up and running in F# in a week, maybe a month if you struggle with some of the concepts.

One major issue I do see coming from the C# side is "well how do I do this then?!", which often the answer is "you don't, because you don't need to" or "well what if it's more performant to do it mutably!" well then thankfully F# can absolutely do that.

If you keep an open mind it's really a very clean and simple language, but in an age where half of development is importing 8 well known libraries, not being the main supported language is a major weakness.
Maybe. The thing about preparing for unlikely outcomes is that when they don't happen it's easy for detractors to say "see how stupid we were to worry about that" even though everyone agreed that nothing happening was the most likely outcome all along.
It is a display protocol, responsible for displaying things. A compositor is a must for that, it is not additional complexity at all.

What you would want to mix is a window manager, and there is no reason why that can’t be done with this model (and is pretty much what wlroots does).

But I do agree that a cathedral model can have benefits.

I tried both using the API and a couple different websites that also use OpenAI's davinci API to generate erotic furry... literature.

Spent about 4 hours before I gave up. I don't know how to tell you all this but it's not there yet. Not even CLOSE.

It doesn't even seem to have any understanding of biology. Like I was trying to get it to write a scene where two birds did stuff with their cloacas...

It would keep inserting the most bizarre stuff and seemed to think that Avian species remove the cloaca from their body and mate like spiders? Just really disturbing stuff that was 100% unfappable.

Now, if someone is able to make it generate a consistent voice/tone, like "erotic furry fan fiction of zootopia but in the tone of Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy," similar to what stable diffusion can do with appropriate prompts and other tools like embeddings, img2img, etc... That'll be gold for literature.
Implementing a good GC is incredibly hard. The JVM may have just "100+ basic instructions", but it also has classes, objects, arrays, and a whole set of APIs it provides. Your JVM is kind of useless if it doesn't ship with all of the user interface primitives (and other APIs/classes) people expect, for instance. Otherwise what you have is not what people expect to find in a JVM.

I'm also under the impression that building a good JIT for a JVM would be a massive undertaking. It literally took over a decade for the Sun/Oracle JVM's JIT to become mature enough.

I've designed UVM in a way that I believe it will be possible to design a good JIT with relatively little effort

prolog is another step that's for sure but lisp is the gateway drug

If you need temporal variables to give context you have other problems with the naming of the function that you are calling in the first place.

We have used temporal names between function calls not because it was more readable but because chain of methods was not an option as you have said.
The file and project wizzard is on the todo list (see readme); I recommend you download e.g. the LeanQt source and open the top-level BUSY file with LeanCreator to experiment.

Concerning "lldb-vscode.exe": I never saw this and don't know what it means; maybe LeanCreator has found an Clang/Lldb installation somewhere which is compiled with Python support, but Python is not in the path; it's possible that you get this error on start because LeanCreator tries to get information about the toolchains it finds by running the programs; you likely get rid of this error if you put the Python executable in the PATH before starting LeanCreator.

> Despite the inkling that the investor might want him out, Mr. Fellman, 57, was confident that things would be fine, since he legally owned the property, and the condo declaration required that 100 percent of owners would need to be on board for the condominium to be terminated.

> But the Scully Company didn’t stop there. Since it owned all the other units, it was able to take over majority control of the condo board, and it voted to lower the threshold of owners required to terminate down to 80 percent. Then, in February 2021, the Scully Company voted to terminate the condominium, which meant the Fellmans would be legally obligated to sell their unit to the company.

That must be so stressful to deal with. Is that legal to lower the threshold like that?

Most of those countries had craft clothing production, hardly anything that could be legitimately called an industry.

Don't forget AppleCare+ if you do. Not worrying about broken screens ($200/each replacement without vs $30 service fee, with $100 one time AppleCare fee for 2yrs) and getting replacement phones on the spot for other damage is really a huge anxiety relief and comes with more savings than the initial cost. That what helps turn a "phone a year" into 3yrs.

Does Google offer something equivalent to AppleCare for Pixel phones? I guess there's think like Best Buy extended warranties but I've never had to use one for a phone. I'm curious how it compares.

Having grown up in, and subsequently emigrated from the UK, I would say that Britain is a weird place when looked at from a distance.

The class system has led to a society where the middle classes consider themselves the moral guardians of the working class, while looking up at the upper classes with a mixture of contempt and envy. Middle-class right wing readers of the Daily Mail and left wing readers of the Guardian are more similar in that regard than either would like to admit.

So (while coming from a different political place) both want to crack down on the evils of the internet to Protect the Children and, of course, to save the working classes from themselves (and protect their neighbourhoods: think of the property prices!).

As both Conservatives and Labour need their votes, authoritarian cracking-down on issue du jour is always a good vote winner. Today it's the internet, back in the 80s it was MDMA and rave parties, back in the 1800s it was gin palaces and gambling. Same thing though: Britain's self-appointed moral guardians and their representatives in the media and parliament wagging their finger at everyone else.
