Laura and Zod sound remarkably similar to the narrators in this audible I recently listened to called After On: A Novel of Silicon Valley (not recommending it!) and I seriously wonder if the whole book wasn't narrated by AI.. it's not the first audible that made me wonder.
I'm coming up on 30, and I enjoy checking out the charts on rateyourmusic. I'm always looking for something new to listen to while I'm working.

I think this series might need to be updated with the advent of controlnet. Everything from pose through normal maps can be lifted from existing assets and applied as needed. Can't imagine how much more productive the author will be incorporating these major improvements.
It’s not at all the same thing, as it’s not block-based like Notion is. It’s comparable to other “standard” note-taking apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Bear, Joplin, etc.

I once saw someone describe evolution as a lazy man. Because evolution doesn't optimize for "the best", it optimizes for "good enough".

They started taxing social security as a way to reduce it without seeming like they were.
The biggest issue is "responsible government". The closest this ever implemented in world history is Singapore with the government largely stuffed with PhDs and graduates - heck their PM can even solve sudoku in C++. In most cases, government would be closer to American form running by incompetent or less educated leaders of semi democratic with fraud and excessive spending (Sri Lanka, Japan, Germany, etc). I recalled one of German leaders even plagiarised their master/dr thesis yeara ago. In this situation, private enterprises especially lots of it competiting fiercely would be way more efficient. Chicago and Australia privatisations are really just government monopolies relegated to private monopolies. So efficiency of private enterprise will not that readily available in short-medium term. In long term, we dont know - economics theory a lot doenst match up reality. Malaysia has gone through this during their 4th PM and today result is pretty mixed with a lot of corruptions.

I live in Texas where we have an “efficient” system. It efficiently transfers wealth from the many to the few while providing unlimited anxiety.

When my power was off for multiple days in subzero temps and i seriously considered one morning we might just not wake up I had a realization. Another way to look at “inefficiency” is: “redundancy”. And I sure as heck wish our grid had a little more redundancy.

This example perfectly encapsulates the state of generative AI art.

You can click a few buttons and instantly get artwork that is indistinguishable from stuff made by professional artists for top-quality games. Amazing!

The downside is, your game is indistinguishable from every other game. Close your eyes and pick out anything in the isometric sci-fi/cyberpunk genre from Steam and the result will look exactly like this one. Heck you can probably import it directly from Unity's asset store without even bothering with Stable Diffusion.

There's the broader question of – what is AI adding that will appeal to people wanting to buy your game, and the answer to that is still probably nothing.
I'd be willing to buy a mfi certified cable on amazon. Apple enforces those.

You will be hard pressed to find a MFI certified cable in the above linked reviews that is rated poorly for spec.

You may find "compatible" ( https://www.amazon.com/TROND-Charger-Resistor-Charging-Chrom... ) - but not certified ( https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx1KDZKVM4Y5KYE/ref=ask... )

Would I trust buying an off brand usb cable that lacks MFI certification? Nope.

> Truth is primary information directly from sensation.

Is it? How does one come to know what you've said is true? What sensations were involved that proved that? Did you feel it? Hear it? Smell it? Taste it? See it?

On that note, what exactly is sensation? Is it not data?

> understanding the difference between reality and fiction and being able to tell the truth are so fundamental that we strip away basic rights from those who cannot

Then my basic rights should be stripped away because I frequently believe things to be true which are not in actual fact true. I suspect every single human would also be able to say the same thing. Consider flat-earthers (who aren't just trolling). Their argument is the same as yours. They've used their senses and determined the earth is flat. It feels flat. It looks flat. Why do I (and I hope you) know they're wrong? I've not been to space an orbited it. I've not picked a direction and started walking and come back to the same point. Why do I know the earth isn't flat?

I don't think it's a big leap at all to say that current technology is one relatively small leap away from being able achieve what the human brain does. I also don't think that technology needs to do it the way humans do.

ChatGPT and the like are merely octopii that have a tentacle on a single telegram signal, for now.
Wouldn't that be a gigagram? Even more cool.
Some other comments had me doing some research on Bloom's taxonomy and I really think the principles apply in mathematics and physics.

Problem solving is great practice for learning, and covers the 3rd and 4th domain levels (application and analysis, respectively). However, what Bloom believed is that learning is hierarchal, and to apply and analyze you must complete the first two domain levels (memorization and understanding).

Anki in the terms of math and physics is great for that (and I will also rarely create a flashcard out of a exercise, but that is mostly because I think something similar will be tested on later).
I’m curious if anyone at OpenDoor still thinks their RSUs are going to be worth anything and how many people have left.
> In theory, a government will be efficient at allocating resources for that.

And in practice it’s all about ass covering and getting re-elected.

I enjoyed your episode on React Native Radio!
They did say usually.
The author's prompts are all perfectly understandable to humans and expressed in a direct and clear way, and the AIs can't understand them.

This comment essentially says "the prompt is faulty because the AI didn't answer it correctly". This bakes the correctness of the AI into the tautology that it always answers "good" prompts, which are defined as those it answers correctly.

(Humor, 100% true) My friend informs me that they took this Havana syndrome to Garry Nolan and:

"Garry Nolan has like 60 patents lol. Literally one of the smartest people in the US. The government tried to use him to explain away ufos but it blew up in there face when he admitted he's an abductee lol"

"If you follow ufology you would know the mainstream theory is that abductees are just ETs who reincarnated as humans, for a purpose. Jesus being the most famous. Garry is likely hyper intelligent and now the face of Disclosure for that purpose. Very unlikely it was all a coincidence."
Another thing that worries me is seeing multiple openAI founders on twitter making grand predictions about the future of AI instead of staying humble and keeping their head down and letting the product speak for itself. That is not how serious engineers usually talk, sounds more like wannabe monopolists to me.
Oh, this is one I hadn't heard of. There are several different takes on this idea, and I've had the notion to make my own for some years, too (not enough free time...)

I feel like a good "how powerful is this tool, really?" test would be to model the Adobe PSD format with it. That format is bananas, and is what got me into this topic in the first place.

there is also this stupid old tech way of just politely asking for any promise in writing, ask them to send a follow up email or you send one “as discussed on the phone this and that - do you confirm”

But I never dealt with Comcast so i don’t know maybe have too much faith in customer support in general.
Was it a salvage title car? A year ago a clean title FRS with 100k miles would still easily pull $10k at auction, so you got a heck of a deal if it didn't come with major defects.
I have a wifi repeater/range extender. I call it repeater, because often when pinging with it, I get duplicated packets. I know, I know, it's ICMP, not UDP, but yeah, don't tell me the joke. I may get tired of hearing it again and again.
Sorry, I was mistaken.

I didn't notice the setting for some reason, though it is enabled to "yes".

To clarify, I thought there may have been an additional page that was the "settings" page. It's been a long day, though, and I'm stuck doing some debugging so my mind isn't all here at the moment.
By pretty much any measure you can find, businesses are great at long term planning.

Look at price/earnings ratios. They have crept up from the 80s which means investors are willing to pay more for each dollar of future earnings. Look at individual companies like Amazon that was extremely valuable while losing money for years and even now its very thin. Look at all the VC companies throwing money at companies with just an idea. How about private industry, like billions of trees being planted every year by private businesses just so they can harvest them in a few decades.
No, but if I asked you the same question, I don't think your answer would be any more reliable despite working much harder to come up with an answer. Not trying to be rude, just pointing out that this argument falls apart when humans can't even tell you if they have a soul or not, let alone define what "soul" even means in the first place.
I am. I've spent my entire adult life, shipping software.

I know there's lots of folks like me, out there.

It already has 234 entries, all issued within a year of each other. How much space does a UEFI BIOS typically allocate for this list? Are you able to use this mechanism to revoke good BIOS signatures, is there an availability issue potentially created by misuse?
Someone on a different thread suggested to use the screentime (with a different passcode) and disable icloud settings. Works like a charm.
Two comments saying this. Doesn't mega mean 10^6 aka 1 million?
To add to your point, it also depends on whether you have kids or other dependents, too. Very often there isn't any real choice in owning a car.

Yes, it's possible to go without, but it's so difficult, or requires such a different lifestyle that it's just not practical. The choices have already been made, and there is no going back. I was raised by a single mom, and there is no way she could have provided for us as well as she did without a car. And she went through some real difficulties to have a working car.

[edit: I should have added that this is in the US. It may be different in different places]
With GPS thse tablets can become excellent affordable navigation systems for (older) cars that don't have Android Auto support. Maybe needs a LineageOS image to get rid of the Amazon stuff but I'm sure that'll find its way onto the tablet eventually. No more Bluetooth GPS module (that needs another power source/battery) or finicking with settings and apps. I just hope the SoC specs are alright for the job.
And Uber which eventually led to massive loses.
Then don’t allow the amalgamation. Governments can veto mergers and takeovers.

Telecoms used to be a natural monopoly when it was based on land lines to every house. It made no sense to lay competing infrastructure for that. Now with mobile networks the infrastructure is a fraction of the cost and competing networks can coexist seamlessly, so a competitive marketplace for services makes sense.

None of the private couriers will come within 50 km of my parents house, only the government AusPost delivers. Private couriers want them to pick the packages up at a distribution center 100 km, in a pinch they'll leave the packages at some random convenience store (not even an official pickup point) 50km away.

yes, but "kilo" is 10^3 already so 10^6 * 10^3 = 10^9 -> giga
Realistically, this is not an option, and it should be obvious.

Ukrainian invasion does not look possible, and what other nation would dare?

But the losses of Russia in the great European war we so very vast, that this cannot be asked again.

For Ukrainians, this is also true. I wish there was an answer.
The scalability payoff is in personalization. E.g. I love "This week in microbiology", but I wish I could have more influence over the scientific papers discussed. What I'd love is a morning podcast that's exactly as long as I eat breakfast that talks about exactly the papers I'm reading and their interconnections.

Hehe, yeah. I'm personally waiting for a model that is good at nonhuman stuff. Not just furries... but the focus seems to be on human content for now.
Like I said, you can get an entire game world (maps, artwork, backgrounds, character sprites, weapons, vehicles, animation, sound effects, music) by clicking a few buttons in the Unity asset library. The barrier to entry for making a generic cookie-cutter game that a thousand people have made before is already nonexistent.
Thanks Bob, great book! Do you have any recommendations on going from learning about interpreters to learning about compilers, ie making a language go all the way from the high level to machine code / binary? I'm looking for something at the same level of quality as your book, which is to say, very high.
I think the gap between Asia and PNG (then connected to AU) has got down to 90km. Doable with bamboo rafts? Viewing a mountainous island from an elevated position would give them reason to attempt it. Timor to PNG is suggested as the water crossing needed.
The Swedish postal service was great until it was privatized, now it's a shambles and delivery rate has taken a shocking downturn.
Email an author to politely ask for a copy. Researchers spend a lot of time on their research and are usually happy to learn that somebody is eager to read it.

Granted, n=1 anecdotes don't mean a whole lot, but the one time I emailed a researcher like this, they not only sent me the paper I was interested in, but later sent a couple of pre-prints of some new (related) research from their group. And then even later when I emailed again asking for some data files referenced in one of their publication, they happily forwarded the data in question to me. I think this was definitely a case of "they were thrilled that somebody else was actually interested in their research". YMMV, of course.
apparently india used to be connected to australia. and it split off and hit asia. india ramming into asia may have caused the himalayas.
Xerox Alto, the PayPal Mafia. Any other groups figure importantly in the history of tech? I love reading about this stuff.
I'm a bit puzzled about how he reconciles his efforts to eliminate fossil fuels with his apparently conservative attitudes on other topics. Don't conservatives generally want to preserve the use of fossil fuels? It seems like it's part of their hope to return to a prior "golden age" when nobody cared about the environment. What does the average American conservative think about Musk?
It is indeed there. I missed it earlier as I was scrambling to find a "settings" link and somehow missed that this was, in fact, the settings page.
Perhaps turning it into 43000 1M kg sized rocks? If even a few hit that seems still pretty "civilization ending" to nme.

I asked once about this - there's IIRC an alternative editor that supports this on desktop, but I'd like it generally.

I think some of this comes from some people making really long notes, and some people not - I remember a precursor note-taking app having a broken in-note search function as well, and when I reported it the developer said something to the effect that it's not a valid use case...

I hope they figure it out eventually - pasting notes into sublime text just to do a search is a bit silly ...

(The developers generally are pretty helpful and earnest about their app, I've been a paying customer for a few years now and am happy with the app for the largest part)
The Alto did things that even modern computers don't do as well. There's a demo I like to point at for this: https://youtu.be/AnrlSqtpOkw

You should have read my first comment where I said that it is not convenient _unless_ you can charge it at home. And here you are … “thanks to solar panels” … you are the exception not the rule. Many people don’t live in houses, let alone have the possibility of installing solar panels and pay premium for an EV car.
