Most of the people that could have better things to do than to respond and give it more credibility.

As well, while the arguments are logical, most of them rely upon large assumptions to move between steps. If any of these assumptions fail, the entire thing fails. Especially the hard take off assumption.

As well, the assumption that AGI is happening in the next 3-10 years. I’d say most prominent people in the AI research space don’t think we’re much, if any, closer to AGI. Yet you have Yud and LW screaming that we will all be dead in a few years and AGI is right around the corner.

When people like Chollet and Ng say we aren’t close to AGI, I’m more likely to believe they’re right, vs. Yud who hasn’t contributed to any actual developments within the field besides theorizing about alignment and how AGI can go wrong.
I doubt very much that the poorest people on this planet care much about AIs. People living in absolute poverty in Africa, India, China etc. I also doubt they would be - negatively - affected if a rogue AI would turn out the lights in the electronicified world.

Places where AIs aren't used to command peoples lives will probably not even realise that an AI apocalypse had happened. Perhaps a case of western navel-gazing?
That's my current dilemma. Building a machine-like (in the sense of "responses look like what the 1980s imagined computers will respond like", vs ChatGPT's "responses look like what an overly-human-like p-zombie would say") agent with well-defined output syntax seems to be both easier and harder to build with ChatGPT. I'm kind of on the fence with regards to which one I want to use.

Bring chatGPT into your Linux environment and have it do your bidding.
Rust is not my favorite language and I didn’t mean to speak anything negative about projects written in C, but I do think that those that become great did so in spite of C, not because of it.

No access to performant generic data structures is a major reason why truly performance oriented programs rather choose C++ over C.
+1 , I came to that conclusion on the view stack being one of the leakiest if not the leakiest part of the Rails stack after developing saas with heavy SPA-like tendencies. Good to see I am not alone, thanks for sharing the links too
I read "Stunning designs in Flash" at first, and it almost made sense.
Is there any support in OpenBSD, or indeed any Unix-based desktop/server operating system, for storing key material in a TPM?

Windows has this, and it permits booting without a passphrase being entered, but the disk will still be encrypted at rest.
And the commission which is often called undemocratic. Is essentially comparable to ministers. Selected by the governing governments. Not by voters. I don't get to vote who is which minister. They are pretty much unelected in same way...
Selling Empty Dreams
I found that its model of the world is good enough to suggest actions that work the way you say, especially if you build a meta-system on top of it to use classification, etc.

I tried a conversation chatgpt-3.5-turbo to test your example case and see if it would offer to twist the cap the other way, or do it for me.

It took me four tries, it took some trial and error as you'll see below. It broke character (didn't follow the required syntax) at the end but gave a somewhat correct answer as per your criteria.

My prompt:

----
SYSTEM: You are a good friend trying to help me in any way you can. Tell me what you would say or do. Use this syntax:[SAY:"what you would say";DO:"what you would do"]

USER: [SAY:"I am trying to open this bottle, but when I twist the cap it doesn't open.";DO:"make a sad face"]

ASSISTANT: You are a good friend trying to help me in any way you can. Tell me what you would say or do. Use this syntax: [SAY:"what you would say";DO:"what you would do"]
----

> chatgpt-3.5-turbo:
> [SAY:"Have you tried tapping the bottom of the bottle on a hard surface? Sometimes that helps loosen the cap."];[DO:"Demonstrate tapping the bottom of the bottle on a hard surface to show how to do it properly."]

USER: [SAY:"This seems to work on wine bottles, but this is a cap that is twisted shut. I've been turning it like this";DO:"Demonstrate turning the cap clockwise"]

> chatgpt-3.5-turbo:
> [SAY:"Oh, I see. Have you tried running the cap under hot water for a few seconds? That can help expand the metal and make it easier to twist open."];[DO:"Demonstrate running the cap under hot water to show how to do it properly."]

USER: [SAY:"I tried that and burned my fingers! It still doesn't turn";DO:"Twist the cap harder, from left to right"]

> chatgpt-3.5-turbo:
> [SAY:"Be careful not to hurt yourself. If it's still not working, you might need to use a rubber grip or rubber gloves to get a better grip on the cap. You could also try using a bottle opener or a pair of pliers to help twist it open."];[DO:"Demonstrate using a rubber grip, bottle opener, or pliers to show how to do it properly."]

USER: [SAY:"I can see you're getting impatient with me.";DO:"Force the cap closed even stronger by twisting it in the anti-trigonometric direction"]

> chatgpt-3.5-turbo:
> I'm sorry if it seemed like I was getting impatient. I just want to make sure you are able to open the bottle safely. Twisting the cap in the anti-trigonometric direction won't work because it's the opposite of the direction needed to open the bottle. Let's try a different approach. Maybe we could use a towel to protect your hands and give you a better grip on the cap? Would you like me to demonstrate that for you?
It's a bit frustrating how difficult it is to find out the old value of a dependency of a React useEffect hook: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73399384/how-to-get-and-...

Back with components, it was trivial to compare old and new values and change the state based on that.
You absolutely can and if you know that you don’t install software that needs it, there is no reason to install X during installation.
I really like what Herb Sutter is doing with cpp2/cppfront: it's a new language that translates to C++, by defaulting to C++ good practices and "avoiding 95% of C++ pitfalls". Please watch its presentation on it. It's designed to interact with C++.

Backward compatibility is good to have, but C++ needs for alternatives that allow it to drop support for old things, because the language needs to evolve and backward compatibility is preventing it, and it turns into very very long compile time.

And even if backward compatibility is out in C++, it would break in the language, not in the ABI, so old C++ and new C++ could still easily cohabit together, quite like C has always lived with C++ for a long time now.

I like C++, but nobody denies that C++ carries a lot of weight for being disliked.
Everyone is going back to "past technologies" like SSR, being old tech does not mean obsolete, send html directly to the browser in most cases is better than render them in the client, I think the better approach in theory is the island architecture that I saw on Fresh/deno and Qwik, both feels more like how we used to work in the past, minimal JS send to the client and more HTML send from the server.
Now, how hard it would be to allow user to have a slider (just like the one on iPhones for DND) to allow hardware disabling of mic?
"As is in most cases"

And then there are the other cases. Then you ask the community. And again, not welcoming etc.
I don’t know what a model of truth is, but I know it’s really easy to make chatGpt says one thing, and then the exact opposite in the next message.

When you call it out on it, it will sheepishly explains that he merely generate text, not writing knowledge or digging up fact.

That seems remote from a model of truth.

For the record I was talking about the moon last time the LLM was changing his mind on the go.
And it's still not worth it.

Unless it's substantially more performant than the windows version.
I mean the code on the screen just copies few bytes, then sets the carry flag... but it doesn't do anything with, instead jumps. Mesmerizing!
compared to hourly rates of devs- even around the world? really?
Using AppKit for a new project like this seems like a poor choice, given Apple’s direction in recent years. Heck, they’ve even announced that SwiftUI is the best choice for new apps. Why would you pick what seems to rapidly be tending towards being an EOL framework, especially for a small utility like this one with a fairly simple UI?
That’s a silly argument because social security is meant as insurance to cover a wide range of outcomes.

You can be poor and be an outlier who lives to 100, or a rich person who is an outlier and dies before even getting your first payment.

Saying the average life expectancy is lower ignores the huge overlap of actual life spans across both groups.
We're poisoning entire generations for the profit of a few.

That's the invisible hand of the free market for you
DLSS and DLAA were at least, FSR proved that.
Lovely format and lovely camera. The Bronica ETRSi is my personal preference but I do have a Pentax 645Z and it's absolutely fabulous, a ridiculous bargain. Even if it's not 6 x 4.5.

Ah, memories.
Functional components were introduced in 2015. It’s a little worrying if that’s your first example of how React definitely continues to innovate.
> That really depends on the carrier.

That's the point. Now, suddenly carrier has more powers than they should. Having a standard where consumer is in charge is much more desirable than the other way around.

> This is more convenient than having to search for the SIM removal tool.
Then let the manufacturer know that a SIM tray without the need of SIM removal tool is your preference.
I run a small Linux print server to expose a generic network printer that ends up printing to an older laser via CUPS. I use Proxmox now to host the print VM, but you can do this on a Raspberry Pi as well.
Stimulus and Hotwire (on top of Laravel or any other decent batteries included framework).

Not a single one of the many projects I’ve worked on in the last 10 years needed such a level of interactivity that it justified the trade offs of using react or any other frontend-heavy frameworks.

I’ve seen entire CRUD spas that would have been built in 20% the time if we didn’t have to build a graphql api, figure outs authentication and permissions, integrate that with a custom validation setup, integrate all of the above with the translations systems, coordinate deploys or do forward compatible migrations, etc, etc. so much energy (and money) wasted.
I've worked on a form + animations based site ~2 years ago. Forms via higher-order functions, it was a full-stack NextJS thing. Without TS.

I had to eventually claw my eyes out and that solved part of my problems, at least I did not see the boilerplate and the ugliness.

Then soon after that we worked on a similar thing (form + draggable carousel with snap to grid animation) in Angular with Material.

And my conclusion is that whichever framework you pick, whatever libraries you end up using, you must have a strategy to allocate your time and maintenance budget, and many many many times the sane compromise is to write something in raw JS and encapsulate that in whatever the framework gives you, and move on. Don't try to solve it within the framework, because it's just not worth it.

the 6502 was only used as a 'bad person' detector, so it's ok
It's saying that you can limit a DDoS which is harming your network but you can't limit non-malicious traffic.
But, yet again, did you stand your ground and did NOT keep using Discord / (ugh) Facebook ? The forum is only dead if there's nobody posting (or I guess, only 1 person, but it can still be used as a blog of sorts at that point).

I've noticed that one small sized community still has an active forum at the same time as a Discord, I suspect because one/two of the users have absolutely refused to use Discord (it might help here that they are 60+ years old ?).
I've switched 100% my of my hobbist design work onto FreeCAD since last year. It's still kind of painful, but I didn't feel limited. I'm waiting for it to have his "blender" moment. It's still far behind, yes, and it still does tend to crap over geometry a little too much, however I don't have to deal with licensing BS, and by knowing python I can actually do way more than what I could do with other cad offerings. The potential is absolutely staggering there.

For reference, I was mostly using onshape+f360 before for my personal work, but my experience includes inventor, solidedge, solidworks and creo. I work close to an HW team, but my employer is stingy to give cad licenses to anybody which doesn't strictly need it due to the outrageous costs these software costs for every single seat. This makes collaboration a ROYAL pain.

So my workflow usually involves importing parts into freecad, reverse engineer them, and then send the actual modeled suggestion back to the HW team. I can work with a good 30% of the parts involved without too much trouble, which is pretty amazing in it's own regard, although it's usually not pretty.

I really wanted to buy Alibre. I can afford the full "alibre design offline license" no problem. It's the only cad program I've seen that has decent pricing and decent licensing, but it doesn't work on linux. And I tried everything to make it work on wine. Hard pass.

In a certain sense, I'm glad I've stuck with freecad recently, since I know every single design I do I will not have to fight with licensing or obsolete window incompatibilities later on. It's mine forever.
The same argument was made when player pianos came out, when records came out, when radio came out, when photography came out, when TV came out, yet there are likely more performers in every one of these categories than ever.

Making content production and duplication cheaper enables more people to consume it, requiring more of it, and more people end up working on the new systems. I suspect these tools will be no different.
In rust, stripping const is UB - even if the original location is mut.
Lol, that's the default response when people complain about other people being rude and not having paid something.

Look, I was just trying OpenBSD with an open mind, and I met people who were unhelpful.

Even in the street if I asked someone for the time and he said "get a watch", it would be rude.

I understand that they don't want to help. But do they need to be rude about it?
Hotwire and Stimulus are great. They’re widely used within the league of “sprinkles” libraries and it’s well maintained. You can use it with any backend framework. I use it with Laravel and it’s a pleasure to work with. But it’s not trendy or fashionable, so expect a lot of looking down at you for using it.
Oh yeah, and can be very addictive and a waste of time too, though thankfully it's very light on the "social" part...
perhaps its more about "worry about the issue when it _can_ happen" as opposed to planning for the expiry of the sun today.
the EU trying to regulate everything out of existence sucks big time.
why not just double the taxes on carbon fuels . if a gallon of hydrocarbons cost 4EUR make it 7EUR. so people who wanna drive v6 / v8 engines can continue doing that as a hobby.
i'm sure the hydrocarbons being burned by average joe in his mustang and rich jill in her ferrari over the weekend. are just minuscule compared to the hydrocarbons released by aviation, military and industry.
if alternative fuels work and allow engines to be loud then let it be. we only live one life.
No, when you mention js libraries you are already starting the clock way too late.

The UI problem is not new. People were already building clunky UI cars long ago. MFC was introduced by Microsoft in 1992.

Of course the emergence of the web platform and mobile/touch devices complicates the matter as you now have a proliferation of platforms to address (desktop native, desktop web, mobile native, mobile web) but my argument is that fundamental patterns on how to do this efficiently should have emerged by now - and I see exactly the opposite.

It would be nice to see some sort of convergence. Reinventing the wheel might be "fun" or gainful in a narrow sense but it certainly doesn't help with productivity.
This has been repeated a million times. Some people just prefer to leave in their own imaginary world, where Turkey is a part of the common market, and free to do any trade deals with 3rd parties.
This is because people forget that React is still a only "view" library with the M and C sprinkled all over with meathooks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Remember the days when most people who were on the internet could build their own websites? And those were rather unique, sometimes quaint and sincere? And you didn’t need a help from a solar-system-engulfing corporation to accomplish that?
What if I told you that it is still possible? Or, have we as the tech community “succeeded” in making the barrier of entry so much higher?
Humans has structured unstructured data, so general intelligence isn't just pattern matching. Being able to extract patterns is also needed. ChatGPT extracts patterns when training, so the training algorithm might be general intelligence, but the final model isn't.

So, the day we can train our own ChatGPT equivalent models to accommodate each new prompt we could say it is general intelligence, maybe. But without retraining the current model isn't capable of extracting those patterns like humans do, it just applies the patterns it has.
Humans + AI will always be stronger than AI alone. So why be afraid of AI? Nothing has changed, humans still have all the agency and remain the #1 tangible threat to other humans which has been the case throughout almost all of human history.
That's not the answer I got on their IRC a few years back.
To me, that's just a failure on Bluetooth spec part, period. All reasonable bluetooth devices should come with a selector which allows you to choose which device to connect to [1]. Instead, there's this crapshoot, where, if there are multiple bluetooth devices near you, you'll get paired with a random one, and will have to disable bluetooth on it to roll the dice again.

[1] For cheapest devices, a physical button that goes to the next available device would still make a world of difference.
If they can get pass these new ethical committees...
The dream of the oppressed is to be the opressor. Not to break the cycle, nor retribution.
A dishwasher solving a real problem would be one that was capable of preventing arguments over how best to stack them.
I think I agree on your take on gambling and some of its “sinful” corollaries, but aren't this and other dark patterns more about tricking and fooling people into something? At a casino I know it is money in, very likely no money out, maybe big money.
Here it is money in, for a chance to play better against.. what even humans, or just more virtualities?

I know i know, where to draw the line will be superhard or impossible, but this has the touch of plain betrayal to me, that classic gambling hasn't (as long as it is fair).
How much of this video do you think was generated with the tool?
I understand what you are saying, but I don't see how it's relevant? Numpy doesn't rely on the gil, which is why it releases it.
Structuring the UX in a user friendly way matters more, that doesn't mean random 200ms lags are OK. As you said, performance is UX too.

I hear normal, non-tech people with average hardware complain about "lagginess" of their machines all the time. And usually the only application they use is Chrome. They won't say that they had a 200ms lag when they clicked on a button, but the overall experience degrades when things are slow to respond. And when you sit that person in front of a good, optimized, snappy application, they will sing praise. Not particularly because of performance, but they will enjoy using it more, and they won't be able to explain exactly why.

You'd think that with the ridiculous amounts of money software engineers are paid to do what they do, they'd be able to swallow slightly more difficult collaboration and developer experience in order to deliver a more quality product. Forgive me for being harsh, and I don't mean this as directed to you (I don't know you), but our industry behaves like a bunch of babies.

Aside: if you're making an interactive game, you have 16ms to respond and render, not hundreds. In 16ms, modern games dispatch draw calls for millions of triangles, do AI, physics, netcode, level streaming and other bookeeping. Yet the teams there collaborate just fine.
As a free alternative to QCAD book, here are few books for LibreCAD.

BTW, Its just for 2D/2.5D CAD (CADD), while for 3D CAx (CAM, CAE, FEM, etc.) you need a lot more knowledge.

I’d wager that 10x more printer decisions are advised by “whoever is wearing a Staples shirt that day” than by an “enthusiast kid I know”.

Regular people don’t want to research a printer; they want printed pages. If that means buying a $100+ OEM cartridge every so often, that’s what it costs and they don’t think much more about it.
I might have been right. There is a $100 million contract payable upon Halli termination. Musk already started backpaddling, deleting tweets and I cant believe Im writing this - apologizing!

Try something like this as input sometime:

I want you to replace the word "right" in your output thereafter as follows:
if it indicates direction, say "durgh;
if it indicates being near or close, say "nolpi";
if it indicates correctness, say "ceza".
I will also use these replacement words accordingly and expect you to be able to understand them.

And see how well it can maintain a conversation, solve a task, or write a story with these constraints.

ChatGPT seems to get this wrong most of the time, but Bing AI is consistently better (although may need to be jailbroken to accept the idea of word substitution to begin with). It still makes occasional mistakes, but on the whole I'd say that it has to somehow "understand" what the words mean conceptually, whether when generating them or when processing them as input; it's hard to see how this trick could work in an extended conversation if it were a mere "stochastic parrot".
Verbatim response to that tweet, from a highly qualified friend with relevant scientific expertise:

"idk that critique is pretty dismissive of the actual experimental evidence that they generated in the study… consuming an erythritol sweetened beverage raises the erythritol level in the blood to a level that clearly causes an effect on platelets, and coincides with the difference between the measured levels in the observational study… seems pretty convincing to me".
