Which game is "for everyone" though? Pac-man? Lots of people hate pac-man and similar twitch-based games. Bejeweled and its clones? Would I really want Lukas Pope to be making Bejeweled clones?

Not good. Basically bankruptcy insurance, you pay for all your typical health expenses outside disaster. I don't know what Germany offers for that price, but given the overall lower cost of healthcare, presumably it actually covers your healthcare.

The Chomsky article does argue that LLMs are not AGI or AGI precursors: “These programs have been hailed as the first glimmers on the horizon of artificial general intelligence … That day may come, but its dawn is not yet breaking, contrary to what can be read in hyperbolic headlines and reckoned by injudicious investments”. You correctly point out that the counter-article does not respond to those arguments.

But there are many other claims and many other arguments the Chomsky piece makes: “we fear that the most popular and fashionable strain of A.I. — machine learning — will degrade our science and debase our ethics by incorporating into our technology a fundamentally flawed conception of language and knowledge”. The Aaronson article is responding to those claims, even if the response is “I disagree; more details to follow”.

Separately, it’s rather audacious to dismiss this response as ad hominem, considering the tone of what it’s responding to.

Aaronson’s ad hominems: “the intellectual godfather of an effort that failed for 60 years”, “what Chomsky and his followers are ultimately angry at is reality itself”.

Chomsky’s ad hominems: “ineradicable defects”, “lumbering statistical engine”, “stuck in a prehuman or nonhuman phase of cognitive evolution”, “the predictions of machine learning systems will always be superficial and dubious”, “pseudoscience”, “ChatGPT exhibits something like the banality of evil”, “the amorality, faux science and linguistic incompetence of these systems”.
Of course they did. There is no reason to assume people were stupid [in the past] and just got smart overnight. These were smart people struggling with a paradigm shift that would upset almost all their theoretical apple carts. It was an epistomelogical crisis but not of the spiritual flavor as it has been alleged.
Why on earth would the heat death of the universe on such a time scale mean everything is pointless.

We are the ones that create meaning in our actions. It's not given to us by the universe, it's up to us to decide with our consciousness. Meaning will always be on the scale of human lifetimes. The ultimate fate of the universe is irrelevant to that.
"simple" solution (that breaks a whole lot of the world as we know it): Make a law that states people have ownership (including copyright) over their own PII.

If that goes too far, do something like the UK's Data Protection Act of 1998 that insists almost all PII is subject to review by the individual and they can demand erroneous data be fixed. They can also demand deletion in various scenarios.

But personally, I like the copyright idea. If a copy of a song can be protected from being made legally, even if I personally make the copy, I see no reason why my most personal of details cannot be similarly protected.
How are they wild? It's about a 5-second chat with an officer and off you go. They used to hand out coupon books.

I've been doing some experimentation in ChatGPT with this, and it is amazing.

With just slightly different ChatGPT query prompts, extremely different, conflicting narratives for a given event can be produced, and each of them sounds/seems perfectly reasonable, and True.

For someone to be invulnerable to this sort of thing, they would have to have fairly substantial background in several different obscure domains (none of which are taught in school, quite conveniently), as well as violate several strongly enforced social norms (ie: engaging in "pedantry", thinking in ways we've been trained to pattern match to conspiratorial thinking, falling for Russian propaganda, etc).

It does not surprise me in the least how much polarization there is in society over what is actually going on, and how each side genuinely believes that they are take on it is correct. It seems (to me) almost like the system has been deliberately designed to produce this output, because it certainly isn't that hard to figure out how to vastly improve on it.
I can guarantee you your individual contribution would stop mattering far earlier than that. Not saying that as a slight, but for realities sake. If what we do matters in 100 years after we die we're doing better than most of entire human history. It's the height of hubris to think that it's going to be heat death that finishes our accomplishments off. Better to realign expectations to something less grand than "have an effect that last forever".
I've always tried to reconcile this idea with the hope that some future advanced civilization (maybe even evolved from humans) might figure out a way to "escape" the Universe, by manipulating spacetime itself, "accessing" other dimensions, &c.

I really don't get people who have a lot of trouble with the Outer Wilds ship controls. Is it just that people don't expect Newtonian mechanics and treat it like FreeSpace or something?

Then again, I'm the kind of person who plays DCS, has over 350 sends in Getting Over It (one left handed), and flies the VTOL VR AH-94 with SAS off, so I'm probably not a good baseline.
How perfect is almost perfect? How do you correct errors?
I'm a developer at DPLA and so happy to see some of these comments. We are obviously a small org (and even smaller tech staff of three) and it means a lot to me.

Happy to try and answer any questions.
> Also tbh a lot of people are just really bad at judging companies and wind up working at startups that are obviously going to fail. You really do have to make an honest assessment of if you are good at picking winners.

It's luck, not good judgement. No-one knows how to accurately assess whether an early-stage startup is going to succeed or fail.

If it was possible, accelerators would have better-than-background rates of success. Even YC, who get their pick of pretty much every startup, has barely better than background rates of success.

If it was possible, VC's would have better than background rates of success. They don't. They rely on the successes being much bigger than the failures because the failures are limited by bankruptcy while the successes have no limits.

I think blaming people for being bad at judging early stage startup success likelihood is poor form when no-one else in the entire industry has any idea how to do this.

This cannot be asserted and dismissed so easily.

I would not be surprised if it returns content that it thinks would have or should have been in Wikipedia.

The more you constrain it (e.g., "only answer truthfully") the more it bristles and tends to react in the opposite way, because it can't actually do that.
Legally speaking, that's true.

But software developers do something that can be described as engineering, and I don't think that terminology is going away anytime soon.

So what now? Does anybody really want a push for "software engineering" to be licensed by the state? I can think of a world of problems stemming from this.
Lukas Pope is a true artist. He is without doubt one of the best game designers of this generation.

I don't intend to get a Playdate (it's unavailable anyway, right?) but I do admire this guy and I enjoy reading his blog and updates.

He really is a genius. I don't say this lightly. A lot of people rave about games which are essentially either tech demos (impressive, but is the game really good?) or a bunch of cutscenes with a dodgy/cliché story by wannabe film directors.

Not Pope. He really focuses on engrossing gameplay and novel ideas. His art is always in service to the game. Where else would I get a game about an immigration office stamping entry permits -- an engrossing, fascinating game?
No, not global. Each office only really need access to their own documents, there are over 2,000 offices though. It does need to be high speed and yes cost is a factor.
Oh my god, yes. I had to re-read that paragraph three times, and then open the xkcd to confirm what the author really meant. This absolutely killed the flow of the article for me.
Documents need to be indexed?
Two things about morality.

It’s connected with truth and logic because a correct moral decision involved getting the facts straight.

In our household (which runs a riding academy) we reject the Abrahamic position and say that morality is a function of mammals (and probably birds.). That’s based on observations of animals having strong emotional reactions to violations of social expectations.

The first time I got thrown off a horse, for instance, the horse was much more shook up than I was and acted contrite and extra-sweet afterwards.

There was one time I teased my cat by taking the side of the neighbors’ cat (with body language) in a territory dispute and my cat seemed highly offended at me which persisted for a few hours.

No, the article doesn't say how its trained.
I'd love to make that as well or find a source for it. Curious as to costs to manufacture and ease of reproducibility. Any tips / pointers / guides?

> is what made us human.

It can't be the case that the first sin is what made humans human, at least not for Christianity. Back up to 1:26-27 for what Christians take to be the thing that makes humans humans. They were fully human prior to eating of the tree.

But did they know some right from wrong before eating? Yes, and they are held accountable for exactly that when they eat anyway.

What exactly "knowledge of good and evil" entails, given that they are already morally accountable before that point, is an interesting topic to unpack. It must be closely related to an idolatrous belief that, not only am I in the likeness of God and so can discern right from wrong, but I am _so_ like him that I get to _decide_ what's right and wrong.
Implementing Data Replication (2021)
The ‘Giant Grift’ That Swallowed Wall Street–and Maybe Your Savings
Maybe you meant to illustrate how absurd such a stance would be, but in reality 5 of the 7 things you mention are an absolute non-starter for me.
Sure, but then we have to ask which will be more difficult, preventing the sale of all user data by everyone, or preventing law enforcement/gov agencies from buying it? I want the former, but the latter may be easier to stop first, and only focusing on the former seems like letting perfect be the enemy of good.
Ed is a dick to anyone without a PhD and a bigger to dick to anyone with one. The problem with Ed is he always thought he was the smartest person in the room. Just ask Jim Clark. Mutual friend at Disney claims he was #metoo'd out. Pixar and its culture was a shit show for women for decades sanitized by the kid film brand. Lassiter was "just the tip" of the iceberg.
In terms of performance it would possibly be even better in Flutter, BUT (and this is a big butt) text editing on the desktop in Flutter currently can only be described as broken. I last looked at this a few months ago and I think it's fixable, but as much as I like Flutter I don't think it's a good option for a text editor _just yet_.

Living up to your name there, nothing was for anything anyway. Meaning is entirely self constructed whether or not the heat death, the big crunch, or the big rip are going concerns. If you think the meaning of life is "being excellent to each other" that's totally achievable, and from a pragmatic perspective, likely to make things go pretty smoothly while we run out the clock.
I think that it is due to the fact that Linux update is broken into individual packages.
I agree the tools are not ready because, as you say, the foundational concepts are not yet encoded.

But for OP, the point isn't having humans understand. It's having the computer check the proof. You still use traditional journal papers for communicating the proof to humans. You're just also able to say "The proof has been verified and really is true."
Yea I will, but the entirety of all earth life won’t. Anyway it’s not me, I’m just responding to a question with the obvious answer.
That's right.

Huawei's 5G MetaAAU series is currently the best active antenna processing unit in the market. It has the best performance, energy efficiency and easiest deployment.

There are only 3 big mobile infrastructure providers: Nokia, Ericsson and Huawei.
Yes, exactly. I really thought the author was trying to argue that no one writes in assembly. But then when I reached the butterfly line, I realized it was just sloppy writing missing commas.
The issue with ICBC is that you are forced to do business with them no matter how you feel about their business practices or how much they are charging. ICBC can change their pricing completely from year to year and there is nothing you can do about it if you need to keep driving your car. This is not even an exaggeration, a few years ago ICBC did adjust their rates such that some people were suddenly paying thousands more per year despite having no claim history, They have since changed the fee structure since then but it is a bit scary when your premiums go from $2000 per year to $5000 or more.
Ah, you just triggered fond nostalgia for me, of pillaging my dad's stash of batteries for my ever hungry Gameboy Pocket. It ran on two AAAs and my parents must have lost a few sanity points from my constant requests to stop at a gas station for batteries on long road trips (which were almost always denied, gas station batteries ain't cheap).
I thought the "speed of the road" was calculated by checking the speeds of the other types, which is trivial if you are going in a straight line, but needs correction if you are steering, hence needs steering angle?

Or is there a simpler way in non-ESC systems?
>We are the ones that create meaning in our actions

This is your opinion. Most people are religious and derive meaning from an outside source.
This reminds me of the OLPC crank. (It did have crank for power, right? Or do I misremember?)
Of all the all the applications of LLMs I've seen so far, I think generating endless amounts of humour is still the best thing they can do.

It is PUBLIC information. That is not circumventing anything. The issue here is NOT the FBI. It is the DATA being PUBLIC information.
A particularly low value contribution. The title is a copy of the article's title and pretty accurately captures its content. This is being difficult for the sake of being difficult.
This article is mistaken from the get-go as an operator is not the same as an apiservice. Rather an operator is a wider term for something that includes a controller. See https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operat...

Also it's important for people reading this article - an apiservice (which this article talks about) is very rarely something that should be done. An operator is more appropriate for nearly all cases except for when you truly need your state stored outside of the internal Kubernetes etcd datastore.
No, the article is very explicit. In the traditional statements of the second law, higher entropy is indeed seen as lower organization.

However, the article is stating that this is not an accurate view of the mathematics - and that a more accurate view merely requires more disorganized distribution of energy, while matter may be arbitrarily better organized and still have its entropy increase. For example, crystalization of a material does not necessarily decrease its entropy, as long as the crystal formation dissipates heat.
How to Compile FFmpeg 6.0 in Linux and What New Things Can Be Done with It
The steps in the FFmpeg compilation wiki causes an error. I provide a fix for it. Then, I description filter alternatives for the deprecated map_channel option. I also demonstrate some new features introduced in the FFmpeg CLI tool.
A corollary is that the policing of microaggressions, as a form of catastrophizing, works against its own aim of protecting sensitive people. A healthier response would be the stoic sentiment that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." I'd bet the popularity of that statement would be inverse to the mental health trends. People can grant or refuse the power of words to hurt them to a wide degree. Their willingness to do one or the other appears to cluster by gender, age and politics.
You can already do that by hand (hoaxes have been done, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_Batuta_hoax)

The only thing GPT changes here is speed at which you can do that, but if you start mass-spamming with such articles that will actually make it easier to spot.
This is a great example of care and design happening in a way that improves the product, but which the average listener has no idea is happening.
Yes but certainly a good chunk of the companies finite resources will be shifted towards this effort vs improving upon search. No judgement whether this is good or bad, just... the way the world is headed.
The other latency that matters is how long it takes to draw each frame when scrolling through the code, which is usually most if not all of the framebuffer.
It's a typo: I meant Hindi-India. In any case, I won't be responding to ultra nationalist, religion supremacist, right wing trolls anymore. So you can take your "edifications" and random articles elsewhere.
I remember when Puppy Linux's (on-disk) size limit was 50MB. There's a reason you don't use, "Is it tiny?" in twenty questions.
With magic solar panels and full sun an iphone shaped solar cell could charge my iphone fully in under an hour and a half. Good commercial solar cells can get a little more than 20% efficiency so really with good sun and a bit of restricted usage an iphone with a solar cell for a back that got a lot of sunshine could power itself enough to be practically useful.

With the ability to scale down the power usage with processors that do a whole lot less it’s certainly practical to get much more out of usable processors.

You can do a lot with, say, 10 watt hours per day and that much is certainly achievable on a hand held device.
> Wonder how foolproof/incorruptible the chain of custody is supposed to be for the provided data?

Not enough any prosecutor would prosecute someone based on that data alone. However, I do see a case where the data provided could be used to further an investigation. And in some ways, that makes sense. The data is a clue, but it's not what is going to put someone away.

It's a log entry. A log entry is only as good as your logs and provides a clue for further investigation, but it's not where you stop the investigation.

I'm not commenting on the legality or whether access to this data is right, merely my assumptions on how this data could be useful in one aspect that doesn't necessarily need it to be foolproof or incorruptible.
ChatGPT has state and representation, clearly. But that's besides the point. It's been demonstrated to have the theory of mind of a 9 year old child, and this will no doubt improve.

All of this is a bit like saying a car isn't a horse because it doesn't have hooves. Yes, but so what?
Also worth checking out Alvy Ray Smith's 2021 book, "A Biography of the Pixel". It is (from what I've read so far), much more in the history/theory of technology field, examining the math/technology behind resolving continuous to the discrete (waves to pixels, vectors to rasters, etc.), and the associated cultural/business/entertainment shifts.

Not to be petty, but I see that to all appearances Smith is not, having given "Catmull, Edwin" about half a page of index entries. (The cover identifies Smith as "Cofounder of Pixar. And that there are index entries for "Pixar, origin and cofounding of, cofounded by Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith" as well as for "Pixar, origin and cofounding of, not cofounded by Steve Jobs".)
