> Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

“Extraordinary” is always judged in regard to the judging party’s priors, and people have wildly different priors (and people on both sides will say – with some accuracy on both sides, though very much not equal accuracy – that this is because the other side has priors that are influenced by disinformation spread as propaganda by the other side.)

That isn't true at all. Maybe some narrow field defines it in that way but people in general do not. Traditionally intelligence has been fuzzily defined as that mental thing which humans have that other things do not.

If you go back in time you will see that people have associated it with both our ability to breath and later the beating of the heart. We have looked at animals and said we can count and they cannot that is the nature of intelligence. We told ourselves that we have a complex language and they do not and that is the nature of intelligence. We have noticed that we use tools and they do not and that is the nature of intelligence. We have seen that we can play chess and they cannot and that is the nature of intelligence.

Now with the advent of computers they have increasingly forced us to reconsider these things. Computers can play chess better than us so that is not intelligence. They are as verbal as us so that is not intelligence.

Humorously, because of this reevaluation and redrawing of the boundaries we now seem to feel more of a kinship with animals.

But anyway, intelligence is clearly a complex mixture of many things, and crucially those aspects must be integrated and be able to feed into and support each other.
Law enforcement officers are given privileges (social and legal) while they are on duty (and other informally while off duty) that other citizens do not have. They should be held to a much higher standard in return for those privileges. And true, many of those privileges are likely necessary in order for them to fulfill their law enforcement duties.

But it's not the media and politicians who are shooting unarmed civilians, or killing people in their custody. You can see many of the videos for yourself, often recorded by the officers' own body cameras. It's horrifying. The disregard for the decency and humanity of others is on display for anyone to see, unfiltered. The fact that it happens at all and the officers themselves aren't outraged by it is an outrage in and of itself. One bad apple spoils the bunch. If you can't trust one police officer, you can't trust any of them. And we can see for ourselves how they can so often get away with what would be a murder charge for anyone else.
How would you pronounce "read"?

As read or read?
Interestingly enough to me, all the things you mentioned are "accessories". Not full-fledged products (arguably Ping was right around when social media like MySpace/Facebook really were going full-steam so I think Apple was just trying it out).

The first-class products have all been launched like the parent comment said, along with iterations that build upon them.

So to me it seems Apple is still putting some level of priority on its main products and just less so on accessories.

QMK is great, but then it only works with QMK keyboards, while Karabiner and friends work with the rest (also, if I remember correctly, QMK is more limited in the area of rich text input and some other OS integration beyond low-level remapping)
Not more than encryption can help democratize China.
I think Arduino and ESP32 have different goals. One is more of an educational tool targeting children and adults to automate simple stuff and learning to program microcontrollers in a simplified way and the other is focusing on more industrial solutions where performance, price and flexibility matters.

So I am not sure they are competitors. Like Intel and Raspberry Pi aren't competitors as they address very different markets.
Keeping in mind you can still use POV, and many would say it doesn't really need a replacement if it still works...

Art of Illusion is a good replacement in various ways, with continuous development. These days as a community it's mainly centered around the SourceForge forums for the project.

In years past, I created paid professional illustration work with AoI, and IIRC some of my art's still in the software's splash screens (good nostalgia feel!). Even back around 2006-2007 I created a 21 megapixel image with it, for use on an event poster for a city-managed event where I live, which was pretty darn credible for FOSS.

It's very capable software if it fits your needs and you are aware of the various ways to do things. The manual is exceptional and an exemplary example of FOSS help docs IMO.

Just the other day I used it for some home design visualizations as well, and the current version seems to work great. Especially if you use the Scripts & Plugins manager and try out the many plugins available for things like N-gon mesh modeling (PolyMesh Editor), various UI changes, etc.

You may also want to consider Bforartists which is like a Blender fork aimed at artists, including its own keymap, UI changes, a different set of defaults, and various other changes.
This. The article alludes to Buddhism, when it comes to living in the moment. But it totally ignored the trap of hedonistic pleasure seeking that goes along with it.
One little wrinkle I will add to your point, which is a very good one just so we’re clear, is that with chat GPT it does away with needing to know how to ask your questions, where to find your answers, how to implement them, etc.

I can literally tell it “write me basic code to do ‘x,’ now explain how to add it to my squarespace site.” In many cases it will just spit out exactly what to do. As we all know, part of knowing how to do your job well is knowing how to find answers. In some ways chat GPT makes that step even easier. At least in the use cases I have found so far.
I wonder if there is a way to get chatgpt to check its own work. It has been useful as a method to find new literature for science, but the occasional completely made up references can be frustrating.
> Whereas Roman script can represent the accurate pronunciation of every word in Hindi

Isn't this only true if you already know how Hindi specifically is supposed to be pronounced? I don't think you could show someone a romanized Hindi text and expect them to even come close to an accurate pronunciation. For example, doesn't Hindi have like six ways of making the English "D" sound?

Same thing for e.g. Chinese, you can't represent tones with unaugmented Roman characters.

You can put pi on a number line just fine, though. You can pick any range of the number line to look at, and determine pi's place to arbitrary precision in finite time.

With "uniformly random real between 0 and 1" you can't do that.

More relevantly to infinities, the program that spits out the digits of pi is finite. We can easily count through all the computable numbers, including every number you can specifically name, albeit in a weird order and with duplicates.

It's not a bijection, but if you have a computable number you can derive a natural number that represents its program, and if you have a natural (or rational) number you can derive a program that computes it.
Stagnation killed them. Those mad scientists, and Soviet society in general, never stopped being able to make those things. It's the fact they weren't able to be more efficient, to increase their output, to give better and more food to its population that was the poison pill.

The US took advantage by forcing them to increase military spending. Gorbachev tried to find a way out of stagnation and killed the whole thing instead.

I should have said "undefined". What I meant was that the space the program will use isn't defined by the language itself and can't be known at compile time. It's dependent on implementation details of the compiler (GHC), and the particular input you feed to the program when executing it.
BVR engangements are happeneniing when the shooting side discovers the targeted side first. If they don't, it is visual range again. Obviously low observability aircraft, e.g. a F-35 or 22, have an advantage here. But then the other side can have AWACS to guide their attackers. And let's not forget, jets like a Rafale of Eurofighter, or even a F/A-18, have smaller radar signatures than a F-15. An once the stealth aircraft fired their BVR shots, everybody knows where they are. And, given that BVR kills are not instantly, the other side has a window to close in enough to shoot back.

The Phantom (?) initially didn't have a cannon. Why? Becaise before Vietnam everybody thought dog fighting to be obsolete. Then the US Navy created Top Gun, becaise it turned out dog fighting very much did happen. Same for BVR, and as soon as the other side is stealthy enough to be only discovered up close, well, all engagements are going to happen at visiual range again anyway.

Not to forget, a F-22 or F-35 carrying serious load outs, tanks l, missiles, bombs, is pretty mich non-stealthy any way.
I have a sinking suspicion we're not in the iPhone era of LLMs, we're in the "in mice" era of LLMs. I can't elucidate why, but this strikes me as the sort of thing that could either blow up (like the iPhone) or fizzle out (like Theranos), or blow up and then fizzle out (like crypto). And it's too early to know yet which it'll be. Hackernews is making lots of change-everything predictions, but Hackernews was like that about Theranos, crypto, and self-driving cars too.
I was having a discussion with a colleague about how all knowledge that is "new" is necessarily derived from previous knowledge and a chance interaction with either unexpected consequences or unexpected ideas.

I don't think our brains aren't magical devices that can "new up" concepts into existence that hadn't existed in some manner in which we could iterate on.

Of course, there's no way to prove this at the moment. Would Einstein have invented relativity if instead he had become an art student and worked at a Bakery?

You share the ability to predict words with LLMs.

This isn't a translation. It's a change based on malleable societal norms.

Instead of saying that changes were made in a forward, perhaps it should have a forward that discusses how societal norms have changed since the book was written.

>>>If you talk to a Ukrainian, they will tell you that the war will end when they win the war. I.E. they won’t stop fighting until the Russians are gone.

>> Do we know if that's the view of the average Ukrainian?

Unless I misunderstood the question being discussed, it is answered precisely and directly.

"Do you believe that Ukraine will win the war?": 82% yes, 15% likely yes

"What will be the territorial boundaries of Ukraine as a
result of this war?" 74% internationally recognized borders, 8% w/ Donbas but w/o Crimea, 9% status quo ante bellum.

At first I thought it was really strange that they chose a slow Renesas MCU, while also including an ESP32 module.

Arduino has always been priced at an extreme premium which they justified by publishing easy-to-use software libraries, though.

Maybe it's good that we'll have a widely-supported hobby board that uses something besides Microchip/ST/Espressif. Maybe with a more diverse ecosystem, we could see a decent vendor-agnostic HAL someday.

> The message seems old. The entire self-help industry revolves around saying variations of it. Stay in the present. Enjoy the moment. Seize the day.

Plenty of old books too:

Art of War - Choose the right battles to fight.

Meditations - Live in the present moment and focus on what you can control.

Tao Te Ching - Live in harmony with the natural world.

The Bhagavad Gita - Find meaning in your actions even in the face of uncertainty.

The Bible - Make the most of your time on earth.

> Time is a series of nows. In that sense, the future never arrives.

It's a good perspective. Especially if you make the most of the present each day. But if you have nothing to look forward to, how can you really make the most of each day? That's the basic argument here.

Many philosophers believed you need to have a strong vision to make the most of your life. That can be found through one's acceptance of mortality/finitude/purpose/morals/desires/suffering/etc.

Jobs referred to early Apple TV as a "hobby". For years. Time enough for a nascent market to mature, for the technology to catch up with the ambitions.

That's how Apple/Cook should refer to Apple VR/AR.

Under promise, over deliver.

Projecting 1m unit sales the first year is nutty. Sure, they might sell that many. And then what?

Also, the initial models should be over priced, specifically targeting sexy use cases. Ridiculously expensive, maximally awesome, hype building applications. Like telemedicine, protein folding, and walking tours of fictional settlements on Mars.

Let people imagine and build boutique applications for a couple years, normalize the emerging market, before introducing a consumer mass market model.
> 3 to 4 was enormous... This isn’t about 4. We’re in the iPhone 1 era of LLMs.

GPT3 is great, but I can't reasonably say that 4 is such a huge advance over 3 in my experience so far. Apparently it's better at some things according to the marketing, but for actual usage I can't qualitatively say 4 is an "enormous" advance over 3. It seems to face the same major shortcomings, and it produces qualitatively the same results.

That brings me to the iPhone bit. Yes, the iPhone was a huge advance, but today looking at an iPhone 14, it largely has the same form/function/features as early iPhones. If you looked at the trajectory of iPhones in 2005, you'd conclude that in 2023 they would be 1mm think and transparent with a holodisplay or something. But instead, in the year 2023, my iPhone 14 looks and functions largely like my old iPhone 4. I mean, it does more stuff better, but I'm still using it to browse the net, text, take pictures, and use the maps app -- the same stuff that made the original iPhone revolutionary.

I drive a truck.

Most of the time all you need is the pickup number and they’ll either fill up the trailer or give you the paperwork for a preloaded one. Certain shippers just have loaded trailers sitting in a lot and you go grab the bills out of a dropbox and take off with a trailer without dealing with anyone — had someone take my load out of one of those once but, luckily, it was someone from the same company and both loads had the same second stop so it got straightened out before they made it hundreds of miles in the wrong direction. Still a stupid thing to do because they took the wrong bills too and they specifically ask you to read the destination address off the bills when you do a loaded call.

Some places ask to see your drivers license, kind of rare though.
The question never was the perception you had - which is strange by the way and makes me question if you are French because she looks a lot like Maïté - a really famous TV culinary personality in France and embodies a fairly typical idea of what a female chef looks like in France. The question was why is she not more broadly known.

The answer of which clearly is: actually she is extremely well known by people familiar with her domain and less well known by the rest of us because she died 50 years ago and nearly nobody knows the name of any chefs from that long ago - something which has absolutely nothing to do with sexism.
> Why? Any large probabilistic model in your example would also predict "an" due to the high attention on apple.

I’m not ignoring how the tech works and this is a simple example. But that doesn’t preclude emergent behavior beyond the statistics.

Did you catch the GPT Othello paper where researchers show, from a transcript of moves, the model learned to model the board state to make its next move? [0]

I’m beginning to think it is reasonable to think of human speech (behavior will come) as a function which these machines are attempting to match. In order to make the best statistically likely response, it should have a model of how different humans speak.

I know GPT is not human, but I also don’t know what form intelligence comes in. I am mostly certain you won’t figure out why we are conscious from studying physics and biochemistry (or equivalently the algorithm of an AI, if we had one). I also believe where ever we find intelligence in the universe, we will find some kind of complex network at its core - and I’m doubtful studying that network we will tell us if that network is “intelligent” or “conscious” in a a scientific way - but perhaps we’d say something about it like - “it has a high attention on apple”.
