I would point the documentary "The Witch Trials of J. K. Rowling" and the various reviews people have made of it.

I'd contrast Rowling's own statements which are tentative and equivocal to those of opponents who threaten the violence (often sexual violence) that they believe they experience whenever someone disagrees with them in the slightest way. A healthy community would have some sort of self-policing (say the doctrine of Martin Luther King) to not act in ways that are so discrediting of the group.

That documentary combines two themes, one of which is her story, the other of which is the story of the Tumblr-4chan descent into the intellectual rabbit hole. That last bit is flawed in my mind because it does not weave in the movements I criticize above that Bari Weiss (whose organization produced that podcast) and her followers support that have a similar element of "we can create our own reality", that is, people think they can pump unlimited amounts of carbon into the atmosphere and face no consequences, that Fauci did it all to destroy America, etc.

On top of that I have seen "egg-hatchers" that prey on neurodivergent people whose neurodivergence is unnamed (such as schizotypy) because there is no system in place to make money off them, such as the autism-industrial complex and the pill mills and quack doctors that prescribe amphetamines. I know one individual who has no real idea of what women are other than "it's" mother, anime girls and vTubers, almost never leaves "it's" room and fortunately is too depressed to take any permanent actions. The CIA never discovered a formula to turn a random person into a "Manchurian Candidate" but it is very possible to lead an isolated and directionless individual into dangerous rabbit holes and I see it happening.
Straight from Wikipedia [1].

A few coastal politicians saw MMT supports deficits, ignored the intellectual bankruptcy within, and turned it into a polarising topic when it’s just an interesting but impractical way of reframing common topics.

Sounds like a pretty tough job due to the lack of pattern. Either you have to follow a template or you run the risk of randomly tiling something that can't actually be extended further.
So the innovation over buttons is gestures. Sort of like pushing buttons.

"Advanced technology". Touchscreens while driving can be finicky and dangerous for removing attention from traffic. Who's to say this advanced technology is going to be as seamless as you imagine, instead of requiring my hand to be located just-so before it reads? Never understood why "if it isn't broken don't fix it" is such a horrible idea to people like you.
Although this is very impressive, don't get me wrong. I still cannot shake off that video-gamey feel the entire thing has. I watched the demo on YouTube and it looks great and all, but the moment the character began to speak, something about the way her mouth moves felt off. Am I the only one or am I just crazy?
Yes, https://github.com/chrisbinsunny/chrishub
Many land owners have been around for a while and buying lots. They often already have two lots next to each other. In cases where they don't they may have a different lot that can be swapped (possibly with some dollars if one is in a more valuable location) with some other land owner so that both get two next to each other. while you cannot use the above to build in any one specific place, you can use it to get close enough.
As a poor child I read thousands of books from libraries to make my life bearable. If we reinvent libraries without providing the same facilities for a new generation it'll be a sad regression for humanity.

> I hope that all school libraries have copies of Rudin, Marx and Kripke too—and that’s it.

Honestly, I kind of doubt that would ever happen. Marx's most famous books might be kept only because of their extreme fame, but you'll rarely if ever see mathematicians or analytic philosophers like you listed. They'll rarely if ever be checked out, and will be weeded. A school library isn't an university library.
Compilers translate a text to (typically) a lower level, optimized, which is stored for later execution. The length of time the output is stored is arbitrary.

Interpreters operate sequentially in time.

They take the compiler output, combine it with parameters from the world outside the cpu, and sequentially produce results that affect the physical world in some way, even if it’s just writing a result to memory.

The interpreter may use the compiled text many times.

At some point, it’s interpreters all the way down, at first in object code, then microcode. The ALU itself is a sequential hardware interpreter.

Indeed, white rap artists are very underrepresented in mainstream popular music. There is a case for it being discrimination based on skin colour.

> pay the same amount to the government, who then uses the money to buy things from suppliers

The first part is tax. The second spend. There is no obligation for the government to tax everything it spends, or spend everything it taxes.

In practice, governments will spend what they tax which is why we need an independent central bank.

This is not a sensible comparison. A mass-produced machine-made suit wasn't made using your exact measurements. If a human sat at a sewing machine on a factory production floor versus a machine, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

This is nonsense.

If you built a bipedal (or possibly N-pedal) robot that moved roughly similarly to how humans or dogs or cats or horses run, and it was faster than humans over all the terrains that humans can run over, I'm absolutely certain that everyone would agree that the robot is a better runner.

But a car is not that thing. Neither is a helicopter, or a train, or a bicycle, or a jet aircraft or a hang glider or a skateboard.
Between Windows volunteers and Linux volunteers, I've found the former much more amicable.

Show HN: Quazilla – ChatGPT Godzilla Coach on Whatsapp
I wanted a personal coach but was too cheap to get one—so I built a Whatsapp bot hooked up to ChatGPT to see if it could motivate me.

And surprisingly it did!

The main benefit for me was just having positive affirmation and emotional support from the bot.

I then added daily reminders that checks in with me on how I’m doing on my daily goals and habits. The fun responses has kept me checking in everyday for the last few weeks.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Please only use/try it if you need it-- otherwise I cannot keep it free :)

> Still lets you turn off Bluetooth with a single click, even when all you have is a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Is there any system that wouldn't act the same way?

It is a UX issue though for sure, I don't disagree. While GNOME might or might not ever fix it, you could hack together a solution yourself with udev rules and a USB stick.

Something like this: (freeform, you have to adjust for your own usage)

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="vendor_id_stick", ATTRS{idProduct}=="product_id_stick", RUN+="/bin/systemctl start bluetooth"

I think something like that should work. Put that in `/etc/udev/rules.d/99-bluetooth-usb-activation.rules` and do `sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger`, then after that, when you plug in the USB stick into the computer, it should start bluetooth automatically again.

You could purchase some random USB stick from your local hardware/"everything" store and use that as a bluetooth activator.
Content moderation is another one - farm it off to an external entity like Accenture to manage and you are at arms length from putting some poor content moderator in front of some pretty disturbing content.

I'm with you on this. People in these chains seem to be looking at all the wrong metrics.

Single-mode LLMs are made of human abilities, but we're already going to multi-modal, though with what I would call rather limited interconnections. What does a LLM that takes language and mixes that with sensor data from the real world? You're no longer talking about human abilities, you're going beyond that.

Regular audits I assume
There probably are countless others, but this is the first that we know of.

And I wouldn’t know whether trivial multiples that still tile the plane non-periodically exist. Once you pick a multiple, even the claim that any of these basic structures in the plane is part of the multiple you picked doesn’t seem to have an obvious, trivial (1) proof to me, let alone the additional requirement that you can find non-overlapping ones.

(1) I’m trying, likely unsuccessfully, to dodge the problem of triviality in mathematics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triviality_(mathematics)) here

That's ... exactly how short selling reports work?

There's an explicit disclosure in the piece that they've taken a short position, but really, when a short seller puts out a report like this, you can safely assume that's the case even without reading far enough through to get to the explicit disclosure.

If they're right, they make money. That's what makes it worth investigating to see which companies are screwed up.
For what it's worth telling GPT-4 you want it to simulate a text adventure game that lets the user enter their actions and dialogue, and pasting the setting and some characters works much better than AI Dungeon did when I tried it last year.

GPT-4's context size is much larger, and when it starts to misbehave, you can just remind it how the game works and it's good to go again.

I'm sorry or you're welcome.
You unintentionally point out the flaw of this argument by rephrasing it to eliminate the word “runner.” That’s the only word here that coincidentally strongly implies humans. By rephrasing it to “run” you end up with an even more clearly incorrect statement. My car can run. It runs pretty good. Sometimes I let it run for a few minutes to warm up.
I'm going to need you to back that up with a fair amount of data, because this seems like an easy place for someone with an agenda to strawman.

Today we have a lot of tools and automation that we didn't in the past. Those tools should speed things up by far more than tighter safety standards slow things down.
Nice read. It's important to note

1.The 2020 protesters did not begin vandalizing property, but government infiltrated the protests by burning cars and maiming people.

2. The Obidient movement encompassed multiple sub movements of which a part of the #EndSARS was one of them. A vast majority of Peter Obi's supporters were not #EndSARS activists.

3. Elections in Nigeria are fraught with treacherous behavior so everyone suspects everything. It's important to be very careful with your communication. There is a lot of desperation in the land and so if in a position of information leverage, the responsible thing is to handle the privilege with care and transparency.

>maybe there is a lack of people working on it and effort put into it.

This has always been the case with FOSS GUIs.

When everyone is happy CLIing everything and telling those who aren't to get bent, GUIs move at a snail's pace. I think it's amazing we even have stuff like GNOME, KDE, and xfce in the state they are in today.
Consultancies like Accenture have a vast army of contract lawyers who'll be on the look out for clauses like that, ensuring that they don't end up out of pocket because a project overran or didn't meet expectations.

That initially sounds incredibly shady, however it's not infrequent for projects to fail for reasons outside the contractor's control. Maybe the client can't make up their mind as to what they want, or internal politics mean funding gets cut for the project and it's terminated halfway through. Big contractors absolutely will sign a contract with clauses around deliverables and timelines, but they'll also refer every little deviation from what's listed in that contract to a change control committee to ensure it's accounted for, and doesn't come back to bite them in the ass.

Mostly you don't want to run a project like that, because as you work through the implementation you find variations from what was originally documented, or new edge cases that need dealing with. In many cases you're better off taking the risk of overspend or overrun than ending up with some software that perfectly fulfils a set of requirements that don't reflect reality.
I wonder if we had the same feeling. I thought that the characters upper lip moved up too much during some of the more dramatic words.

Disclaimer: Not my monkey, not my circus.

That being said, your comment came off as needlessly aggressive to someone who knows nothing of these people or politics.
I really like your take, but I do not believe it is realistic to expect the response to advanced technology options to be - use even less technology. In the past, new tech has led to integration of new tech. I believe that is the inevitable outcome of AI, and especially AGI once that's a thing.

The tool is too attractive not to use. The tool is too fun not to use. The tool is too dangerous to let out of the box, but that is exactly why we'll do it.

We're curious little monkeys, after all. "What do you think will happen" absolutely is a survival strategy for our species. The problem is when we encounter something that is so much more advanced than us, even if that advance portion is just access to multiple systems of our own creation.

To summarize: I think you make a good point, but I think we're fucked eventually anyways.

I can't wait for the inevitable "does my AI have the right to freedom" case in the supreme court when I'm in my 90's.

This Bebylon presentation at SIGGRAPH 2018 is an example of the (now much older) way of doing the same iPhone face capture.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXZhgkNFGfM

The detail on the new Metahuman face capture is visibly better and a smoother capture pipeline has been a valuable goal for a some time. Noisy mocap and re-rigging animations to share them between models, takes time.

[Quote from article] The algorithm uses a "semantic space solution" that Mastilovic said guarantees the resulting animation "will always work the same in any face logic... it just doesn't break when you move it onto something else."
I indexed Yann LeCun's A Path Towards Autonomous Machine Intelligence with Weaviate hooked into OpenAI and then asked it about code that lives:

> It seems that you are interested in some form of artificial coding strategies that could live or persist in some way. There are a number of research papers which explore this concept. For example, the articles "Robust coding over noisy overcomplete channels", "Emergence of simple-cell receptive field properties by learning a sparse code for natural images", and "Learning latent dynamics for planning from pixels" have been published in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, Nature, and arXiv respectively.

> More generally, the idea of coding has been a prominent concept in cognitive science, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence research. In the brain, the pre-motor cortex is responsible for storing and coordinating motor plans, while principles such as efficient coding, predictive coding, and self-supervised learning are closely related.

> In robotics, the design of the intrinsic cost module determines the behavior of the agent, and its energy output can integrate feelings of pleasure, pain, hunger, curiosity, and exploration. Meanwhile, the world model module is capable of making predictions about the potential future state of the object being modelled. Finally, writable memory can be used to maintain the state of the world in cases where an agent's action only change a portion of the environment.
When I bought my truck (used, from a non-Ford dealer) I immediately signed up for a ford.com account and registered my truck with them. I've received all recalls and "customer satisfaction program" notifications from them since. I also had the truck routinely serviced at a few different dealerships until I found one that seemed no-frills and have used them ever since. Whenever I take the truck in for an oil change they will check for a pending TSB and ask if I want it done.

It's not that Kubernetes is simple (it's not), but Kubernetes is relatively simple compared to the task it accomplishes.

If you have containers that need to be scheduled and networked and supplied with storage and exposed to the internet across a large set of machines past the scale where you can easily do so with tools like docker-compose, Kubernetes (might) be for you. There's a good chance it will be simpler to understand and reason about than the homegrown kludge you could make to do the same thing, especially once you understand the core design around reconciliation loops.

That said, you might not need all that, and then you probably shouldn't use Kubernetes.
Actually I talked to them on IRC and Gtk3 is frozen and even if you have a patch that fixes it they will not apply it. Gtk4 is probably different but no one except GNOME itself uses Gtk4.
