> There are many things a robot with "IQ" 85 cannot do that a human with "the same" IQ can:

Only if you don't take IQ tests seriously — I think I've heard them dismissed as "only good at measuring your score on an IQ test".

If you do take them seriously, then by definition an AI which genuinely scores 85 (and isn't, say, just programmed to be good at that specific set of puzzles), then it must be able to do what a human of that IQ can do.

In this case I mean the latter, what with it being a thought experiment to demonstrate why we get problems well before having to ask if the AI can take over.

Practical issues like "a native speaker with IQ 85 is almost certainly more fluent than an IQ 160 polyglot on their 53rd, but for an AI they're all equal", or "we can easily hard-code in an algorithm for winning chess and another for doing calculus" likewise don't really matter.

One of the problems right now with ChatGPT is that people trust it waaaay too much, and it's not really even trying.

worthless != longer economically employable

The arts have significant social value, and I suspect may be to humans what tails are to peacocks; but at the same time, painters and novelists and musicians and actors and playwrights are infamous in their collective struggles to earn enough to get by on those careers alone.

> one of the things that already exists is autonomous truck caravans, where one driver can "drive" a fleet, of say, 5-10 cars.

Trains long predate the truck, and allow a single driver to drive hundreds of cars. But the major advantage of trucks is last-mile logistics - going from the depot where large volumes of cargo pass through to the specific place the cargo is needed. The number of truck drivers, and of future truck attendants, is proportional to the number of stops, not the amount of material being delivered. If anything, removing the bottleneck of requiring a person with a CDL to make a pickup or delivery will cause the number of truck attendants to be much larger than the current number of truck drivers (as already seen for example with Amazon delivery services, UPS trucks, etc).

Yup. PIDs are racy unless they are direct children processes' and you've not reaped them yet. And it goes on.

Windows has a much better process API, except for CreateProcess() (the less said about which the better).

One thing I generally do when I have a multi-process program (one that starts multiple worker processes, say), is to have a pipe with the write end only in the parent process and whose read end the children include in their I/O event loops. That way when the parent exits the children find out and then they too exit. The parent will still try to signal them, but say the parent gets `SIGKILL`ed: the children find out and they exit.

A tangent, but what i still can't believe is that at gas stations like WaWa or Royal Farms that have made-to-order food inside, why can't you order the food at the screen on the pump (and pay for it!), to pick it up inside after you're done pumping? I keep expecting this to be a thing, haven't seen it yet.

The idea of leaving my kids with some stranger for 6hrs a day, who may or may not have ulterior motives behind what they are telling my children, is kind of terrifying.

There was a scandal in our school district recently where an assembly included a drag show that students were forced to watch and parents were not notified of ahead of time.

I'll take my chances teaching them calculus instead. I picked it up eventually they will too.

Background: I've been tutoring on the side for a while and it's apparent that the whole process can be smoothed out, with the end goal being an AI tutor buddy with a stylus interface. This is a little step in that direction.

As for implementation details, I forked excalidraw (at https://github.com/excalidraw), got a gcp free tier instance running, and scraped together a Google K8s Engine cluster serving with torchserve. Luckily there's a great deal on the public preview of c3 cpus at the moment. For the model, I'm using trocr-base-handwritten ( https://huggingface.co/microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten ).

Let me know if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, and/or tips!

> I've noticed that it makes it difficult to switch back to information-dense reading, and to actually read all of it instead of reflexively skimming it to try and glean out the seed.

Keeping on the religious theme I've noticed this with the Psalms, even before considering the GPT stuff. I think I grew up taught to be over-dismissive of many types of poetry. I always had an impression that it was mostly just silly space-filling pseduo-deep reused imagery and repetition. School didn't help dissuade me of this.

For me, I think the thing to overcome is to focus on the value of a sense of respect for the author and the work unto itself, rather than just valuing the "understanding" you get from the text (which will always be shaped by preconceptions). A sense of awe (maybe at divine inspiration, maybe at near-divine genius, or maybe just at the sacrifice of time and life-force an ordinary person gave up to create something). For the example of the Psalms, I have noticed that despite finding the language clunky at first, they have a certain way of sticking in your head that prose does not.

A strategy I've been focusing on recently is giving myself permission to reread (and maybe memorize) important/enjoyable works. Reading something twice is basically the opposite of skimming, or a way to counteract skimming. There probably is such a thing as rereading something more than it deserves (I reread Calvin and Hobbes for the zillionth time recently, which I still deeply enjoy but now it's more of a way to relax my mind before bed than a source of insight) but there are certainly works that do deserve it [1].

Anyway, something I've been thinking about a lot as well and I agree that it's fascinating to consider how fundamental is it to the human condition that monks have been struggling with it for millennia. The book recommendation is appreciated.

Well, it's insane. But I'm sure I can think of hundreds of other equally insane things.

Because otherwise you force the innocent to go through a lengthy (and expensive) investigation that is not necessary for the guilty (who would be ok with paying a fine)!

"I didn't do it, but I'd rather pay the fine than go to court" is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Presumably for the same reason it's more efficient to let people agree to pay parking fines up front rather than go to the extra time and expense of court for the sake of seeing whether they'll agree to say the word "guilty" or not. The SEC has higher priorities than sullying the name of Lindsay Lohan and Soulja Boy, and fining them substantially more than they got paid is ample deterrent.

The definition of proxy war is quite specific.

It requires that a third party is waging war at the instigation or on behalf of us. This is not true. Russia attacked Ukraine and Ukraine is defending itself on its own. We only provide necessary assistance for it to do so.

Of course these arguments come up that try to rationalize this support in many ways but it doesn't matter.

Ukraine doesn't continue to fight to please us but because it is an existential matter for itself.
What exactly do you mean by "Sites -> VS Code"? Do you mean create the webpage from scratch yourself, because a big part of Google Sites is that the site is also hosted for you, and I don't think asking a user of Google Sites to create a webpage and host it themselves is the best idea.
> To protect the wealthy.

Hardly.

The SEC cannot say you are guilty without proving it within the bounds of the legal system. This "non admission of guilt" is a way to sidestep a lengthy, costly legal process and get a result for the impacted parties sooner rather than much much later.

Except with a startup or a company's stock, you ostensibly care that what the company is building or doing could potentially have value in the future. With the crypto projects over the past few years, it's purely been about whether or not you hop in early enough in the pyramid to resell your tokens to a greater fool before it collapses.

I've never had a job where there wasn't a probation period. It's one of my major gripes with the current hiring process.

This is an example of a practical concern that I'm not sure meshes with what we might presume is our shared philosophical underpinnings.

Why is the burden placed on the employer to grow their employee and not the human being to grow themselves? In a generic sense, it could be outside of the purview of the employer to consider the employee's future in that specific way (in other ways it makes more sense, like health and happiness while employed).

It seems oddly paternalistic, to me, and once you remove that moral presumption doesn't the conversation become more complex?
> Finally, I know that "we found RNA building blocks and B3" on a meteorite is less likely that contamination, so the story seems fishy and premature.

Since you rightly encourage everyone to question claims, I question this claim. How do you know this, specifically?

In other words, we have a situation where a team has done a bunch of experiments, data collection, and analysis, and then published a paper claiming "we found RNA building blocks and B3", right? And now your claim is "no, you're wrong about that," but without any experiments, data collection, and analysis. So if you're going to make a claim, provide the details, data, and evidence that substantiates your claim.

In addition to the other comment, the cashier is almost none of the price.

Assuming £10/hour and a cashier that can scan an average of 20 items per minute (which is probably 20 items in 20 seconds and then waiting 40 more for the customer to dig out their wallet), that's 20*60 items per hour = 1200 items per hour = 120 items/£1.

Because not everything is tech?

For starters, Indeed is in a field with legal compliance issues. If somehow "No minorities." ever made it through their screening system all holy hell would come down on their heads.

That means that probably everything an employer could post needs to be vetted by a human eventually. That's a lot of people given the number of job postings.

> we don't write deployable software any more

What did it use to look like exactly, this "deployable" software? Going back to the birth of web 2.0 we had Perl, PHP, Java(?), .Net Framework a few years later. These all required tons of pre-configured infrastructure on the servers to run..

It's just a tool with many uses. I CAN deploy my Asp.Net app as a self-contained(even single) file.. But the size of updates is smaller between images if I copy the app into an image that already has the .Net and Asp.Net library code in the base layers.

I can see the case of how it might be fair use.

And yet I don't want to be stuck with digital libraries that attempt to impose dead-tree limitations onto ebooks.

Some of the greatest (and natural/intrinsic) benefits from encoding books in digital form include that:

- they can potentially be read simultaneously by an unlimited number of readers (like web pages)

- they can potentially be duplicated and distributed anywhere on the internet, essentially for free (like email)

- they don't need to be returned to the library

Shouldn't we be taking advantage of these intrinsic benefits rather than trying to suppress them?
