> So, in essence, you can never have "I will get this exactly once", and at best you can only ever have "I will have a plan for what to do if I get this more than once".

I dont understand this at all. TCP has exactly once message delivery that the application layer is completely unaware of...
If you get an API key and make that request, you'll find appropriately vulgar responses.

Which will be reported as a bug and fixed soon enough.

Given that the link contains dozens of articles with read times over 10 minutes there is no way you engaged with the problem enough to be able to dismiss it so casually with yourcown hand waving. Ignoring that fact however we can just look at what Bing and ChatGPT have been up to since release.

Basically immediately after release both models were "jailbroken" in ways that allowed them to do undesirable things that OpenAI never intended whether that's giving recipes for how to cook Meth or going on unhinged rants and threatening to kill the humans they are chatting with. In the AI Safety circles you would call these models "unaligned", they are not aligned to human values and do things we don't want them to. HERE is THE problem, as impressive as these models may be I don't think anyone thinks they are really at human levels of intelligence or capability, maybe barely at like mouse level intelligence or something like that. Even at that LOW level of intelligence these models are unpredictably uncontrollable. So we haven't even figured out how to make these "simple" models behave in ways we care about. So now lets project forward to GPT-10 which may be at human level or higher and think about the things it may be able to do, we already know we can't control far simpler models so it goes without saying that this model will likely be even more uncontrollable and since it is much more powerful it is much more dangerous. Another problem is that we don't know how long before we get to a GPT-N that is actually dangerous so we don't know how long we have to make it safe. Most serious people in the field think making Human level AI is a very hard problem but that making a Human level AI that is Safe is another step up in difficulty.
Lab Leak Theory Proves War on Information the Greatest Domestic Threat
The article is saying a message queue service can't guarantee exactly once delivery and your comment is saying it's possible for a message queue consumer to handle duplicate delivery. Those are different things.
GDScript sucks big time. It has not place in an engine, why would anyone ever invent a very inferior language to what already exists.

Romanian government to include ION, the first AI honorary advisor
I tried the static typing support in 3.x and it just wasn't nearly good enough. I really need being able to do shit like Array<Dictionary<Thing, OtherThing>>. And I want the static typing enforced automatically onto me, with compilation errors when I screw it up, not something I have to remember to label. Even with C#, there are still blank spots for this unfortunately, where the Godot standard library just passes you an untyped Array.

I know 4.0 has improvements here for GDScript, which is good to hear, but I'm quite comfortable in C#, coming from a background as a Java/Android dev.
Might it also have to do with his positions on almost everything conflicting with most people's? A lot of people didn't realize what a narcissistic manchild he was until recently.
> Ok so maybe the letter gets sent more than once but the message gets sent exactly once, because the messages are numbered and you only process each number once.

Isn't that just shifting the goal a bit? Now the trick is "only process each number once" which seems to have its own transactional issues if you can crash between "taking action based on the message" and "recording that this number has been seen"? If you need non-idempotent actions wouldn't this still be a potential issue?
No, Faraday is (was?) the worst managed automotive company. Faraday never even managed to build a non-working prototype.

Lucid actually has cars on the road. They're great cars, but at their price point they need more exterior visual flair to match the expectations of the luxury set.

Lucid mistimed the market. By the time their cars were ready, the low interest rates were a distant memory and their target market (highly paid tech workers) had started cutting back on spending due to massive industry layoffs.

Note that Lucid today is basically exactly where Tesla was at this point a decade ago, but Tesla had the benefit of 0% interest rates goosing spending.
That's the thing: the whole "sentience" discussion is not about how good can an AI be at giving answers. It's about what it is to be sentient, which is a concept we, humans, created to define our own experience. A concept that is indeed not clearly defined, not binary, not set in stone, and for this exact reason not a subject of expertise of some random programmer.

Anyway, recursive parsers are too resource hungry to run on a PDP-11. That's why nobody teaches them. If you don't expect them to run on a PDP-11, then yes, all of that is true.

> Are there any others?

Off the top of my head:

* AI could fall in love with someone/thing and devote everything to pursuing them

* AI could be morbidly fixated and think of death as some kind of goal unto itself

* AI could use all of the world's resources making itself bigger/more of itself

* AI could formulate an end goal which is perfection and destroy anything that doesn't fit that definition

So many scenarios. You lack imagination.

Did they literally tell you to get lost? The unavailability of test drives has been a problem for all of these new EVs, including rivian, and it was true for Tesla when they first started selling. I'm suspicious of the lack of demand for rivians, because people like him so much and they're selling used for over lust price, barely, at this point. The lucids are just too expensive for what you get so I can believe they've had a reduction in people waiting, the wide variety of other competitive EVs hurt them more than rivians because there's a shortage of trucks.
Artificial Intelligence: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Looks like pure philosophical distinction.

The question here would be who "you" are. Are "you" the low-level system processing raw messages, or are "you" a system on top of that?

The high-level system can rightfully claim to that it receives messages "exactly once"—from the low-level system.

Winning the Air Battle for Taiwan: Lessons from Ukraine’s Drone Operations
Sorry that you put your political preferences in there but I can and do criticise a corrupt lefist dictator in Venezuela with as much gusto as a corrupt right wing dictator in Hungary or Russia.

They persecute gays and vilify Jews. You don't have to be left to think that wrong. But even if you think that right, Orban has milked billions out of the system for himself and his family, and has completely captured the electoral system by changing the laws and captured the media by bribery (aka government advertisements) and force (aka using state machinery like tax investigators to punish and drive out non-complying media).

I'd hate any leftie doing this the same as any rightie. But no matter your political colour, Orban is an anti-democratic corrupt elite fostering a one party state. He is bad for Hungary, for the EU and for the rest of the world.
> I do not recommend anyone use python for anything performance sensitive

My default philosophy is to use python _until_ you find something that is performance sensitive, and then make a C/C++ extension for the slow bits. Pybind works great for a hybrid Python/C++ codebase (https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).

Then you can develop and prototype much quicker w/ Python but re-write the slow parts in C++.

Definitely more of a judgement call when threading and function call overhead enter the equation, but I've found this hybrid "99% of the time Python, 1% C++ when needed" setup works great. And it's typically easier for me to eventually port mature code to C++/Go/etc once I've fleshed it out in Python and hit all the design snags.
Isn’t it the same issue right now when you’re using a random USB charger and a third party lightning cable, which is probably the case for the vast majority of people ?
HAH! I did exactly this with my daughters when they were like 8 or 9. Except I just printed out maps on a piece of paper and we used everyday items for the spaceship. I had a golfclub I used to steer the ship, we had walkie talkies that were scanners too when we explored planets, and I think one of them used a collander as a radar. We cozied up in one of their twin beds with the blankets surrounding us. I basically DM'd the entire thing and they loved it. Weekend mornings while their mom slept in, they'd say "Daddy, can we play space ship?" and then they'd go around the house grabbing things to use as controls for it. Such great memories!

Edit: forgot to mention, I would have loved to have Thorium when we were playing. But then again, I loved their imagination.

1) Connery's character's attempt to out-chad Cage's character failed because the latter replied: "Carla was the prom queen."

2) The proportion of prom queen fuckers among systems programming experts is probably much lower than among the general population.

3) The real Unix philosophy is a perverse form of "worse is better", i.e., it prefers making it easy to slap together something that kinda sorta works without worrying about "edge cases" that people are likely to run into, over crafting a reasonably complete, responsible solution. C is the result of this philosophy applied to language design. If it hadn't been for Unix becoming ubiquitous, we wouldn't have made that disastrous choice.

(Come to think of it, under this rubric, Electron is a Unix philosophy exemplar.)
It can definitely work. It is a pretty good way to avoid the distributed systems problem by avoiding having a distributed system.

Of course there are other concerns with using a database as a queue (mostly at high throughput) but for most cases it will work well.

I have stood by HP printers for 30 years but I stopped recommending them and I don't think I'll buy another one. For most people, a LaserJet printer was a one-time purchase but HP has become hostile to this practice. They have reduced the capacity of the standard cartridges, equipped printers with starter cartridges, and increased their price dramatically.

I recently had to purchase replacement cartridges for a 7 year old Color LaserJet and genuine cartridges were going to run $450 for a full set. I think I paid $240 for the printer but HP saw the pandemic as an opportunity to raise prices so the equivalent now costs over $600.

I ended up purchasing Non-genuine cartridges and when this printer dies I'll probably get a monochrome Brother.
May I ask what device? But the setup sounds quite complex, I'm not sure i would consider this low tech :-)

Is the problem the cables or the devices? USB-C is well specified and any non-junk cables should work as well. Some searching shows lots of Stream Deck owners having problems so the problem may be with the device.

What kind of USB-C cables were you using? USB2, which is most charging cables, probably won't work. You likely need USB3 ones. I guess hard to tell just looking at random one but USB3 cables are shorter, thicker, and more expensive. You will probably have to buy one, I have a couple of USB3 cables and many charging ones.

Where does the Stream Deck get its power? The Macbook Pro does provide power on USB-C ports but only some ports may provide full power. I think on newer ones all the ports do. The other potential problem is the power direction. Stream Deck has a battery and it is possible that Stream Deck is charging the MBP. I don't think it is possible to reverse direction in MBP; it really should be popup and app to do that. That is may by why USB-A adapters work.
That aspect of not being sure how your assets should line up is a general "game engines are complicated" problem, which occurs as soon as you add this kind of flexibility: suddenly there's just a lot more dependency behavior to be aware of as you set up your data and a lot of code bugs become data bugs.

Godot is relatively consistent in what it wants and how it parses a scenegraph, but it's still a little bit quirky: it usually behaves best if you break out any dynamic elements into different scenes so that their instancing is fully encapsulated, and for things that need to change state, add on/off toggles but keep it statically instanced. Attaching stuff after the scene has been instanced tends to bring it out of sync with the state of the collision/physics servers.

Even your denial makes it look like a poster boy for language nicheness.
TCP isn't guaranteed delivery if the receiver crashes; that's what queues and similar persistent systems are introduced to solve, but at-least-once is what you normally get outside of specialized two-phase (write then commit later) idempotent (so writing a second time is OK if the first one was never committed since your producer died and restarted from an earlier position, say) systems, AFAIK.

That sounds like it would probably take more dev effort just for the converter than for the rest of Godot, given how complicated (and sometimes broken) Unity is.
Support for the ChatGPT endpoint now added to lambdaprompt[1]! (solves a similar problem as langchain, with almost no boilerplate!) Props to openai for making such a usable endpoint, was very easy to wrap.

Example code using the new function and endpoint:

import lambdaprompt as lp
convo = lp.AsyncGPT3Chat([{'system': 'You are a {{ type_of_bot }}'}])
await convo("What should we get for lunch?", type_of_bot="pirate")

> As a pirate, I would suggest we have some hearty seafood such as fish and chips or a seafood platter. We could also have some rum to wash it down! Arrr!

(In order to use lambdaprompt, just `pip install lambdaprompt` and export OPENAI_API_KEY=...)

I'm skeptical of this rumor. Apple has supported USB-C on MacBooks and iPads for years, the iPhone is almost the last major Apple device to get converted to USB-C. AirPods are still Lightning, but they're not computing devices to begin with.

My expectation is USB-C on the iPhone will work exactly the same as it does with the rest of their devices today.
