I tried the example about the table not fitting into the car using GPT4. Not only it answered it correctly, but it actively (but politely) argued with me when I tried to imply a different target for “it”:

https://mobile.twitter.com/ayourtch/status/16388720452817879...

(Edit: it did of course end up in a nonsense, so one can argue the point of not having the model of the world still stands; there is an “edge of bullshit”, but it seems to be moving further with each update)

At this point the arguments about about LLMs need to be tagged, which exact version they are talking about. (Probably most are talking about GPT3.5)

My (small) experience playing with both indicates there is a significant gap between the two.
ECS systems are gaining a lot of popularity for games and those are pretty similar to having some SQL database in your engine when you think about it. So it's actually not that surprising to see efficient snapshot/rollback/transaction features creeping in.

I know for example that EnTT, a C++ ECS project has snapshots available to allow you to save the game state in the background without blocking gameplay as an example.
Essentially all of these insurances are subsidized by the government and would not function without taxpayer money. Also because the insurance part is in many cases compulsory, not having these programs run on the government budget is mostly an accounting trick. The effect is essentially the same as leveling a tax it is just called differently.
I was chatting about this with a friend as we were watching John Wick (2, I think)

Straight up 3rd person Shooter but as a movie.

And similarly, watching The Last of Us you can see how they broke down the screenplay into “levels” or “missions”. Maybe a bad example since it’s explicitly a video game crossover though.
Unfortunetly these type of Pyramidal schemes always have that factor: "If i just get in early i get out making money and someone else looses". There will alwasy be people ready to make that bet, that they are not late because those 10 people that were early and made a fortune make more impression to them than the thousands that lost (and maybe lost even more than they could afford too)
only in this case the chances of that are predetermined. most of these "new releases" have their winner deck already predetermined before the launch, a closed group knows when they get in on the action immediately and everyone of the public, no matter how "early" they enter they are already late.

In the same way that it's OK to pay people in SF more than in Detroit, it's OK to have a lower number in Germany if it comes hand in hand with massively cheaper cost of living.

You need to compare the fully loaded cost, including health insurance and university access. If you add the fees that you had to pay in the US to send 3 kids to world-class universities, German salaries would probably come out as a higher value.
> Staking is a process in which cryptocurrency holders volunteer to take part in validating transactions on the blockchain.

For me the key word here is `volunteer`. I'm no 'crypto bro' by any means, but can someone tell me why this is against SEC rules ? Or if it explicitly even is ?
Most modern day blockbusters also seem to have transparently obvious CGI. All these Marvel movies aren't even trying to hide that the visuals on-screen are all CGI. The post Infinity Wars movies are particularly egregious.

There are movies like the Mission Impossible series that use plenty of CGI but most of the time you won't even catch it.
It's moving on to the other LTT channels now.
We were a similar sized company at about the same time - we owned our data centers in the same way we owned our offices - we leased and occupied them. Sure, if the plumbing sprouted a leak the landlord would come to in and fix it, but no one would be confused enough to say we didn’t have our own office space.
> It's also the case that while GPT-4 can say a bear at the north pole is "white", it has no way of knowing what "white", or "bear", or "north" actually represent.

This is a preposterous claim that you could easily disprove within a few minutes of using it.
Sorry to hear that! How big was the map you made? Images can get pretty large which used up a fair bit of ram, and I’ve found that if you overwhelm a computer, it tends to just make the screen go white and lock up, but I haven’t found a good solution to that other than warning the user on creation of larger sized maps

Linn (the hifi people, not the drum machine people) made a CPU called "Rekursiv" (because they like odd spelling like that) which had objects and GC implemented in hardware, on a couple of very large custom chips on VMEBus boards. These were horrendously expensive and were to be plugged into a Sun 3 box, making it all quite breathtakingly spendy.

When Sun brought out their SPARC hardware the language they run was ported to that, and ran about four times faster clock-for-clock.

You can gain some measure of the Rekursiv's success from the fact that the only complete machine known to still exist can be found on the bottom of the Forth and Clyde Canal, somewhere around the Possil Road Aqueduct.

> “This idea of surpassing human ability is silly because it’s made of human abilities.”

Shows the level of insight from this "guru". The truth is we don't know how far the work being done on artificial intelligence is going to go. For now it will continue to develop and acquire more and more autonomy, just because that is the nature of our existence: better and more efficient will replace the lesser so.

So, we may have potentially given birth to a new sentient being that will go on to live its own "life" (within 100, 500, 1000 years?), or we might be able to constrain it so it so that it will always be in the service of humans. We simply don't know at this stage, but my money is on the former TBH.
This loss hits close to home for many, as seen in the comments. Many of us struggle with different mental health issues. We truly need to re-evaluate how we address mental health and our commitment to provide better services for those in need as well as reducing the stigmatization around mental illness as a whole. With so much background noise about so many things framed with negative connotations and the exponential pace at which it is increasing I fear we will see more and more loss related to mental illness. In my opinion we need to focus on how to re-ground ourselves in many ways, a lot of this may be attributed in part to the loss, both perceived and/or real, of social norms and the increasing disruption and distortion of good factual source material and how we access this information. With all the touted benefits of AI/ML it feels geared to economic gains rather than positive use cases for assisting us in life rather than the repetitious narrative of "replacing" us. My thoughts go out to her family and friends, and all those effected by this news. It's also easy to lose sight of the fact that many of us who are not visible in the mainstream deal with this on a daily basis with very little support, even with access to to "quality" care there has been a percievable declination in that metric of quality. A high proportion of intelligent people are prone to mental illness, or rather what socially and medically frame and define mental illnes as. For those with little to no access, or for example forced onto "care platforms" due to lack of resources the effects can be much worse. Best wishes to you all, if you are struggling reach out in any way you can, you matter, we all do.
Actually, in the old days a string number with a leading 0 in javascript got parsed as an octal. You used to have to do parseInt('0012345', 10) to get it to parse properly.

That's what I assume the GP is referring to.

They changed it in ECMAScript 5.

An advanced interpreter has many features of a compiler.

For instance there is the kind of simple interpreter that I know how to write off the top of my head which evaluates the nodes of an expression tree which is horribly inefficient.

Then there is something like Python which "compiles" code to bytecode which is then interpreted by a "virtual machine". That kind of system admits very complex optimizations about as far you as can imagine, including compiling some of the bytecode all the way to machine code the way PyPy or the JVM does it.

Note most interpretations of the Intel architectures break complex instructions up into RISC-like "micro-ops", which is a bit like bytecode interpretation.

One of the biggest concerns in a modern CPU is that memory accesses are very slow relative to a CPU cycle so you want to be executing a large number of instructions at a time to hide the latency of memory access. Intel's failed Itanium had the compiler try to explicitly schedule this but it didn't work because the compiler can't know ahead of time (for general purpose code) what is in what level of the cache and what isn't -- and in a worse case scenario this can hang up not only one instruction but many other instructions that depend on the result of that instruction, ether because they really depend on the result or because the CPU gets hung up. The CPU, on the other hand, does know, and can be opportunistic about taking advantage of available parallelism.

Reminds me of a demo I did for some Congresscritters once. The staffer said "It'll take $50k per record to bring this database online" so they refused to look at the live, running demo I had of the database online. I heard, later, that someone else got "$50k per record" as a contract.

With human natural language, context always matters. Common humans are not trained in boolean logic and don't try to make mathematical correct sentences like we nerds do (clearly we do not succed with that always, either).

So if someone associates a phrase as an slogan of an enemy group, he or she will not agree to that phrase.

But this point aside, for sure there are many black racists. Who hate white people, because some white people enslaved their ancestors.
But saying now ALL black people are to be avoided because SOME black people are racist, is equal to disagreeing to "it is ok to be black". The very thing he criticized black people for.
But honestly, it is all BS to, focusing so much on the color of peoples skin in the first place.

Not all medications for bipolar are zombifying, though it took me 10 years to find something that worked well. On Lamotrigine I’ve been largely symptom free for nearly 7 years now, with few if any noticeable cognitive side effects. The problem with untreated bipolar is that it can be a progressive degenerative condition. It seems to have a physical component involving immune disregulation and neuroinflammation (mediated by life stress and exposure to pathogens) which medication can help. I’d strongly urge anyone in the early stages of illness who thinks they can manage on their own to seek help and try different medications until they find something that works for them.
Can we please put off worrying about dangerous AI for a couple hundred years? Chat GPT is a chatbot and not much else.. it is not the harbinger of an era of dangerous AI
Sounds great but maybe also a bit optimistic.
Very cool. Although bit recognition could be made more robust by using information from all three channels instead of just one. Eg by projecting on the principal component and applying the threshold there.

The B-1 was the original “put a piece in each congressional district” back in the Reagan era.

The issue for gambling and sex payment processors is that they are easy targets for politicians looking for votes: someone who hates them will vote for such a candidate and few will bother to come out in support. Those politicians become the regulators, so in exchange for chilling on some issue or another the payment processors agree to “crack down”

I'm not sure why you think that Ikea furniture is not repairable. It is repairable. There may be some challenges depending on the damage, though. I repaired it many times over the years when I was moving around EU. And it also lasts tens of years for me.
Solidarity and diversity are opposing forces. Now you understand why Tech is so obsessed with diversity. There will never be the solidarity you seek while companies, to the cheers of their employees, atomize their workers as much as possible. But diversity is now a secular religion whose tenets are ever changing to keep everyone divided. Any solidarity that arises in such a religion can quickly be quashed by changing some of the previously unquestionable core beliefs.
How would you describe a polemic rant?

The purpose of a polemic rant as I see it is precisely to take it to the extreme — otherwise it would neither be polemic, nor a rant.
I forget what it's called but there's a mode you can put Little Snitch into that it allows whatever goes through and you can monitor it by opening and reviewing when you want. I think that's fairly similar to what mini does. This turns off all the nagging.

This is actually what I did last time I used Little Snitch, it helped a lot. When I installed a new app I'd use it for a bit, then review in LS and see what it was doing. From there I could allow or disallow whatever I needed.

It's sort of the reverse of "block everything until allowed"

LTT isn't first channel which this has happened. And some of the others have been quite small. And those have returned with if not all, at least seemingly most content present.

Youtube doesn't seem instantly to nuke channels and everything related in these cases. Even if it appears as terminated.
Yeah, it's like saying that machines can never be stronger than humans because they're built by humans.

Computers already do things that humans can't on a massive scale. It's not hard to imagine that they could leverage that ability to take AI beyond us.

From reading this, I don't get the impression that Lanier has any objective reason to believe the world won't be destroyed as the direct result of AI. If he does have a reason, the reporter certainly doesn't devote any space to analysing it, or to explain why dying from AI-induced insanity is different from being destroyed.
>By "worker solidarity" you mean laws enforced by socialist bureaucrats?

Socialist movements and ideas, although fair, win votes and elections, especially in tough times like these, even though those ideas aren't financially viable or would backfire in the long run. Because which voter doesn't want bigger wages or bigger pensions, who cares where the money comes form? It's why my Spanish, Greek and Italian friends tell me their countries are sliding downhill economically.

> Is that a sustainable model? Does it allow for economic and technical progresses being made?

It was a sustainable model before the rise of globalization, back in the '50s till the '80s, when it weas the west vs the east, capitalism vs communism, so western labor and governments had leverage over their large corporate entities. Now, in the globalized world, free of trade and capital barriers, not so much.

Tax corporate profits too much to pay for infrastructure, and social services that serve their workforce? The companies will just relocate to Luxembourg, Netherlands,
Ireland or other complex tax voidance structure involving some British overseas Territories.

Factory workers want more pay and less hours? They relocate production somewhere else where those aren't an issue.

Corporations have managed to have their cake and eat it too, at the expense of the workers and the environment.

Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps is a powerful data visualization control that displays statistical information for a geographical area. Its rich feature set includes selection, tooltips, legends, markers, bubbles, color mapping, and more. The shape layer renders geographical areas from GeoJSON data.

With tile-layer rendering support, we can load map tiles or images from web map tile services (WMTS) such as OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, Google Maps, and TomTom.

In this blog, we will see how to visualize online maps with the title layer and how to enable markers, zooming, and panning features.
Cool, thank you. I've been off Mac for about a decade but I was surprised back then that those kinds of KB controls weren't on by default.
> If it's defined within the component scope and not wrapped in useCallback then it does in fact change on every render and the lint error is being raised for good reason.

So I just did some playing around to investigate this further, and it seems to be more subtle than I thought.

If you have a function expression but the expression is not dependent on any outer scoped variables, the linter does not complain that you didn't specify the function itself as a dependency in useEffect. Example:

```

let bar = "bar";

const setResult = (result: string) => {
// Won't trigger "exhaustive-deps"
setBio(result);
// Will trigger "exhaustive-deps"
if (bar === "1") setBio(result);
};

useEffect(() => {
setResult("");
}, [person]);

```

So there's some quite sophisticated analysis of the AST going on in the lint rule.

I still think that this rule is too complicated for a linter. (Bugs like inter-dependencies in your data and code should be caught by unit tests).

But it's technically pretty impressive.

Edit: I did some more investigations.

If I make a function that depends on something very unpure (like checking window.location), the linter fires if the unpure function is in the outer scope of the hook, but not if it isn't. Even though the dependency is the same. So the linter rule can only identify locally scoped dependencies I think.

Yeah looks weird. When I scrolled to a random part, the numbers seemed to line up. They didn’t say things were entirely correct though. Perhaps the data quality is sufficient for a challenge. Odd that the first rows seem more wrong though.
> And that will likely happen in such quantities that the northern and southern nations will not be able to prevent it.

I think it depends. US and Europe for example have quite "defensible" (against civilian migrants) southern border.

What might happen, though, are some conventional or mixed wars for cooler territory.

> Not to mention the element of "we must help everybody, even at the expense of ourselves" people who will assist the invasion of refugees.

I think the opinion would turn around. With the gradual increase in temperature, you'll get gradually more migrants, which will either shift the Overton window or increase the preferences of (far) right parties.

> With CDL it’s a scan of that book, but the scan is tied to the physical copy, so that if a digital copy is loaned out, no one else can take out another copy.

Er... how exactly does that work? DRM? Or can you simply make a copy of your "loaned out" digital copy before returning it? Because I can see why publishers would take issue with that. I mean, of course you could do that with a real book too (copy/scan it), but it's orders of magnitude more effort...
