Yeah, that's because re-evaluating your entire life plan and belief structure every second is expensive, and heuristics are cheap. People certainly have flaws in their thinking, which is why we fall prey to pyramid schemes, gambling, responding to pointless comment chains on HN, and so on. I don't disagree with this, and again, it's why we publish so many self-help books. But I believe it's our weakness and stupidity, not our superior intelligence and clear thinking, that traps us in bad habits.

So remind me of your original point? I believe you said it's "obviously wrong and laughable" that "an intelligent being can pursue stupid goals". Now here you are trying to convince me that humans are the ones who, like Pavlov's dogs, "pursue habits, processes, and heuristics that guide them through daily life even when those do not lead to any specific goal". Even when those habits involve repeatedly re-opening a fridge that you already know has no carrots in it, or salivating at a bell when you already know no food is coming.

So I'm confused how that proves your point about AGI. If I accept your view, it seems that if an AGI does merely no better than a human on this metric, I should anticipate all sorts of strange and irrational behaviour, including the pursuit of goals that would appear stupid, such as addiction to a reward channel. That does not seem to undermine the orthogonality thesis.

And the smarter the AGI gets, presumable the less it should lean on Pavlovian heuristics and the more it should make use of clear thought, which puts it more in my camp.

So that would apparently put the lower bound at "the AGI takes unexpected and irrational actions because it's not a rational agent and doesn't think coherently", and the upper bound at "the AGI takes unexpected and dangerous actions as rational steps toward an unaligned terminal goal".

I'm not sure where in this chain of thought it becomes laughably obvious that intelligence and goals are correlated, such that an AGI's increasing intelligence will tend it toward actions that we humans approve of, because anything else would be a "stupid goal"?

What's the simplest way to snapshot a database, perform an operation in app, snapshot it again and get an overview of how many rows were affected in each table? Like an overview of diff. Optionally list changed pkey ids. I tried googling but couldn't find anything like this, so I was thinking of making a DYI solution but wasn't that desperate yet.

I've found being able to change the weight of different origins in search is super powerful over time. I've filtered out most of the SEO spam and low-quality websites that plague my searches in other engines at this point, Kagi doesn't serve them to me. I've also pinned high quality resources like MDN so it always shows up at the top of the list if it has relevant content.

Kagi saves my time and gets me to better results faster. At least for now, my time is worth more than Kagi charges. As long as the math keeps working out that way, I'll continue paying for Kagi.

Many people claim that the civil war was over state vs federal authority. They are wrong and have, at best, been duped by lost causers and white supremacists.

As an analog: at some point in the past we decided cars didn't have to go at 15mph with a guy with a flag walking in front for safety. We accept a large number of road deaths a year for the convenience of shorter journey times.
I'm not sure sure the auto analogy is very good, either.

Today there is the choice of a large variety of safe, efficient and performant car models from insanely low prices (once inflation is taken into account), and soon there will be a similar range of choice in EVs.

Generally speaking, quality is vastly higher than it has been in most lifetimes too - when did you last see a new car with rust on it, for example? (A few brands, notably Mercedes Benz, produce far worse products than they did in the 90s, but they are the exception).

If a wide choice of quality products is the future of the software industry, I'd welcome that, since it certainly is not the state of it today.

Elgato's Stream Deck is a more mainstream application of the same approach, with a single LCD under all of the keys.

The Stream Deck isn't doing anything particularly exotic with its key mechanism, though (from what I can tell, there's a frame between the LCD and buttons with the actual contacts on it; no Hall-effect sensors or anything like that).
> This can't be a good thing long term.

This is exactly a good thing long term.

Instead of HIPPO decisions, the states are serving as laboratories and experimenting with ideas to see which have the most merit. This is their role in The Union as intended by The Founders.

WEF/ESG assumes their choices lead to sustainability - there's no proof that the underlying methods of those choices are actually sustainable. That proof won't be available for decades. ESG without deeply examining issues like environmental impact of Wind Turbine/Solar Panel/Li-Ion Battery recycling, lifespan of alternative energy sources, mining, supply chain / global conflict, additional sunk carbon for manufacturing, manufacturing waste, electrical generation realities, or, as Texas is making clear here, financial and economic realities, ESG chooses to prematurely declare its ideas as winners.

Different does not imply improvement.

I'm for examining both pathways because it can only increase understanding.
I miss my voodoos! I used a voodoo 3 for yeeeeears. Had great alt OS support on top of just performing really well for what I wanted.

I used a voodoo 5 ago + physx pci PPU card + modded drivers for both for way way longer than is remotely reasonable lol. Wish I still had all that hardware.

If the voodoo. 5 had had T&L support in hardware I’d probably still be using it as that was the function that hurt it the most to not have later on.

> - # private... not sure why they didn't just use the "private" keyword, but I don't care. I almost always use TypeScript anyways

One of the reasons was to allow private and public fields of the same name, so that subclasses are free to add own public fields without accidentally discovering private fields of superclasses. There were many more considerations that went into the design: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-class-fields/blob/main/PRIV....

There was a heated debate about this and the choice of the # sigil back in 2015 at the time private fields were being designed: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-private-fields/issues/14.

Yeah the subscription services for media I like and I feel like the proposition is straightforward. I pay per month for access to a massive catalog of media. If I don’t like it I can just stop and maybe subscribe elsewhere.

It seems quite fair. There’s no mystery that it is a rental situation.
Funny you mention that- after working with probabilistic grammars on DNA for a while, I asked my advisor if the same idea could be applied to compilers, IE, if you left out a semicolon, could you use large number of example programs to train a probabilistic compiler to look forward enough to recognize the missing semicolon and continue compiling?

They looked at me like I was an idiot (well, I was) and then said very slowly.... "yes, I suppose you could do that... it would be very slow and you'd need a lot of examples and I'm not sure I'd want a nondeterministic parser".

My entire point above is that Chomsky's contributions to language modelling are the very thing he's complaining about. But what he's really saying is "humans are special, language has a structure that is embedded in human minds, and no probabilistic model can recapitulate that or show any sign of self-awareness/consciousness/understanding". I do not think that humans are "special" or that "understanding" is what he thinks it is.

> The fact that it wasn't is a completely different issue.

The War Measures Act was invoked in October 1970, replaced with the Public Order act in November 1970, which expired in April 1971.

The fed-created bombing attempt was in 1974. Unless the RCMP has a time machine, I don't think the invocation of the WMA or the POA can be blamed on Robert Samson.

>
They should certainly not be able to avoid prosecutions because "woops we decided that, on that particular day we'll just ignore the constitution".

The US has invoked martial law 68 times in its history, 29 of them for a labour[1] dispute (The WMA has only been invoked three times, and the Emergencies act, which references the trucker case has only been involved once).

The mechanism for just deciding to ignore the constitution is very similar in both countries[2], but one of them has invoked it a lot more frequently. And, as mentioned a few posts above, government repression doesn't even need any invocation of such acts.

[1] With that frequency, it should be pretty clear as to who the government sees as its real enemy.

[2] In the US, the 2007 National Defense Authorization act even gave this power directly, and unilaterally, to the President, but it did get overturned in 2008. Now, it's largely in the unilateral hands of state governors.

That’s a question that philosophers have been writing about for centuries! There is no simple answer.

I suppose the best answer I could give is: try to think about the downstream effects of the choice you face, and think about what the world would be like if everyone made a particular decision.

Politically speaking, I think the best answer is: decisions should be made by the people affected by those decisions. People more affected should have greater say.

It also depends on what your trying to do.

if your just trying to learn the "basics" I would argue use google colab or something similar to get your feet wet. it's also a good way to learn python

Also you might look at huggingface or model zoo for existing models. It feels alot like early does of public apis. Where you can do alot of cool things with apis and mashups.
In addition to what BurntSushi said, it's worth thinking of the interaction as `&mut T` allows unsynchronized mutation. Because it's guaranteed to be unique, nothing else in the program can access the data behind the reference, so you don't need any synchronization to prevent data races.

With a `&T` on the other hand, the entire point is to allow more than one to exist. That means that arbitrarily many parts of the program could be accessing the data at the same time. If you allow unsynchronized mutation in that situation, you can end up with data races and mangled data from those different parts making changes at the same time.

That's where types such as the single-threaded `Cell` and `RefCell`, and the thread-safe `Mutex` and `RwLock` come in. They force you to go through them, and therefore synchronization, in order to mutate.

Yup. TFT LCDs are in everything because they are so cheap, and they make designers who are used to designing for computers feel less constrained.

I have indoor and outdoor air quality sensors in my apartment; the outdoor air quality monitor is an LCD and the indoor one is e-ink. I kind of like the LCD better, but have to use a feature to turn off the screen at night so it's not illuminating the entire room with its backlight. The e-ink doesn't emit light, but it also doesn't update as frequently, so it's often displaying information that's out of date. Because of the various pros and cons, neither technology seems like a "win" over the other; the product designer has to pick one and hope the market agrees. LCDs get the nudge because of cost, though.
To the extent progressives actually said that, it was mocking the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to be pro-business and “anti-regulation”, demonstrating they’re only anti-regulation when it’s convenient. Surely the joke wasn’t that difficult to understand…

To the extent progressives believed it, they believe people should have the right to censor hate speech, and if it’s carried out by private companies rather than the government, all the better, because the government is hogtied by the first amendment.
No/low-code not working this time either is not a surprise. All these attempts have been made several times throughout the history. Also, as Fred Brooks famously said there is no silver bullet: no/low-code promised to be a silver bullet while only removing the accidental complexities (again, Brooks' terminology).

AI changes this, however. The scenario you are describing assumes that AI will get stuck, as I said. Otherwise I don't see why we would still need humans to supervise it. But if it can write good enough software without expensive human beings making corrections left and right, it will be able to do a lot of the jobs that we're trying to make more efficient (or even possible) with all this software we're writing. E.g. you don't really need GitHub (Jira, etc.) if you don't have a lot of developers cooperating. And this is true for a lot of white collar professions that we're creating these heaps of web apps for, that generate all that demand that you are mentioning.

If we get stuck (and, BTW, have some time to figure out how to live with AI) then sure, we'll have programmers (and non-programmers with good analytical skills) command and supervise AI coders. Everyone and their colleague will turn into a tech-lead/product manager. If.
