I agree with most of your points, we should definitely rewrite and tone down the README. The FAQ was written a few months after, due to that kind of negative reception. To address your points, note that by "superseding" the Turing Machine, I do not mean they can compute uncomputable functions! The meaning is that, while both are equivalent in terms of *computability*, Interaction Nets have improved *computational* characteristics, such as strong confluence and concurrency. This is a very technical aspect that is addressed on the paper I linked. Regarding not buying the claim of no GC needed, this is interesting, since this is a well stablished result: HVM is entirely linear, so it can avoid global GCs for the same reason as Rust. The difference is that HVM is more inherently high level, since its support for lambda is way more first-class than Rust's closures, which are comparably slow and almost guarantee borrow-checker hell.
I've seen a few of these in the wild just as a consumer and I always wonder why people even bother leaving a review. My thought is you're just exposing to everyone how ignorant you are.
As an escape room designer, I’m not sure I’ve seen malignant escapism in my industry. However, maybe it’s there among the players who have played 400 or even 500+ escape rooms. I like to think of my games and developmental escapism. At least while you’re getting away from real problems, you’re able to build up some soft skills that can actually benefit you in the real world.
This is simply not accurate. The US was historically and is currently built by accepting poor immigrants. As the famous poem by Emma Lazarus says, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".

The US is and always has been a place where the poorest can make something for themselves. No matter what rhetoric you spout, this is still demonstrably true: 40 million Americans are first generation immigrants. Another 40 million second generation.

So when I, as an American, see these heavy restrictions, it highlights a couple things for me:

1) Just how different US immigration culture is from anywhere else. And how despite all the anti-US rhetoric, all the political nonsense, we are still the most welcoming place in the world for immigrants, and it isn't even close.

2) How unwilling other nations are to provide opportunities for people outside their borders. I want to go a little further and say these nations don't have much interest in being a part of the world if they can't exploit it.

Emergent properties of systems aren't less real just because they exist in a different regime than the underlying mechanics of the system.

Tables and chairs are real, though they are the result of interacting quantum fields and a universal quantum wave function. Love and consciousness are real though they may emerge from the mechanics of brains and hormones and the animal sensorium.

Why I've Decided to Become a Shareholder of Substack
Since GPT4 released, I've been hoping the vision capabilities will be very shortly followed by projects to essentially allow natural language RPA of a desktop computer.

Copying financials from a PDF to an Excel sheet, for instance, is the kind of task that is tricky to manually automate but seems like it would be trivial for an LLM to execute.
How do you propose to sync a file without a server? What do you do about conflicts? Sure you can do this, but IMO the experience sucks in comparison.
Yeah. When I was a kid I hit on a relative addressing bug in the 6502 processor. I wrote a fast screen scroll routine in assembler but it just did not work properly.

It was inconceivable to me that the hardware was at fault. I just assumed I didn't understand it well enough, and this was pre internet so there were no other sources of information.
We do have a switcher in the UI that lets you run against either GPT-3.5-turbo or GPT-4.

We've mainly been using GPT-4 for internal tests because in the "Make it work, make it right, make it fast" development flow, we're still firmly in the "make it work" phase. ;)
Nothing stops you from encoding your human-labels as bytestrings. Most fellow humans do exactly that. "Gosh I wish the relation between this file's human-label and its filesystem-identity were something other than bijective", said no Linux user ever.

A filename is an identity and if identities are ambiguous, you run into trouble, examples in this thread abound.

Putting it another way, do you work with relational databases? Primary keys? Those are identities. I don't even want to think about a world in which I can't roundtrip data through a database and have things NOT come out the way I put them in. "Human labels" or not ;-)

Of course it's fine to search for things case-insensitively or otherwise normalized. And so we have "find -iname" and "locate -i" etc. etc. That's totally reasonable.
Sure there are select cases where it is possible or practical. .38 Special/.357 Magnum as you point out, I believe there are revolvers that let you shoot .45 ACP or .45 Long Colt with a cylinder swap, as well as the same for .22LR and .22 WinMag.

However in the GP's context, the typical small arms ammunition for NATO (5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm) and the Warsaw Pact (5.45x39mm, 7.62x39mm, 7.62x54R) are not close to being interchangeable.
I also use Windows occasionally to launch a single game. My experience is the same as yours. All sorts of nags that have nothing to do with launching a single game. Every update either breaks stuff, changes settings, or adds ads somewhere.

I return to my main Mac after 2 months on the road, and nothing has changed. It boots right up, and might occasionally ask me if I want to install updates in the evening.

I bought another Mac recently. I didn't have to turn a bunch of things off. I wasn't tricked into accepting anything. By comparison it took me a whole day to update my Surface tablet and turn off all manners of growth hacking before I returned it.

If someone behaved like Microsoft does, I'd keep an eye on my drink when they're around.

No, really, I have worked at amazon in a job exactly around product compliance and such.

All this is very hard to solve and they do what they can, people wont believe it, but amazon is not just an app, the heavy lifting part is logistics, admin thereof and compliance.

Theres no easy way to be fraudulent on amazon, the cost of market entry for sellers is rather big.

Mislabeled products and bad account health have terrible consequesnces for sellers.

I do understand it might appear from the outside that nobody cares, but it looks different once inside.

As for the allegations a profit/benefit calculation being behind it is most likely wrong, amazon, apart from fullfilment center staff is always overhiring to be ready for peak seasons and the whole thing is subsidized via aws, the real money maker.
There's got to be some P/E valuation ratio applied to universities. What schools give you the most bang for the buck, if your goal in college is mostly preparing for a career (as opposed to purely educational, intellectual broadening, social aspects etc.)? Maybe something that compares tuition cost and acceptance rate with alumni donation rate. Tuition cost is straightforward, but acceptance rate also measures a "cost" in how much effort it takes to get into (like a time cost of studying). Alumni donation rate shows how much disposable income grads have, as well as how much they attribute it to their university.

Around Seattle, it seems like a lot of Western Washington University grads get into great tech companies, while not being hard to get into. Tuition isn't that low though.
I paid for GPT-4 last night. I ended up having a long conversation with it giving me really good advice on how to proceed with my non profit organization. There are a handful of writers and philosophers, both historical and contemporary, who I have really appreciated over the years. Last night I asked it to help me understand how my work relates to these philosophies, what kind of people might be receptive to my ideas and why, which countries have the right mix of people to warrant more direct outreach, how to craft my message for the specific values of those individual countries, and more. When asked, it even gave me encouragement as I often feel worn out from shouldering the burden of an atypical non-profit partly alone.

It feels like a narrow general intelligence with a lot of knowledge. Narrow in the sense that it is only text based, but general in the sense that it did very well handling these complex questions. It felt like an expert in all the random little things I have personally been focused on in my philosophical journey.

I've just watched the first Unreal demo. What's funny is I grew up in the redwoods, before the drought at a time when it was considered a temperate rainforest. As I have gotten older I've had to move a little farther from the redwoods, and I feel like I have left a piece of me there. I have always been interested in video game experiences which reproduce the feeling of being in the forest. Recently I got a VR headset and have been having conversations with my friends about how much I'd like to create more accurate forest environments so I can feel like I am there even when I'm not able to get out there.

So I am an ideal audience to appreciate these video game engine demos. And they look nice! But GPT-4 is much more significant to me. It is providing me detailed feedback and advice on how I can manage my career and my life in ways which are really energizing. When I write scripts for my youtube videos, I know I will be able to ask it for specific advice on topics to consider, or parts of it which I might be able to improve. I am not going to do what some high school students do and have it do all of my writing for me, as my personal voice and expression matters a lot to me. But what I will do is share with it my writing and ask for feedback based on my ideals and goals. It can serve as a teacher providing feedback on my work.

That is much, much more valuable to me than an improved video game engine. This is going to be an ally in my career and help me feel as though I don't have to do all the thinking alone.

Of course every truck can do the same; the F-150 is neither especially large nor remarkably powerful. What actually sets the F-150 apart is simply its popularity, having been the best selling pickup in the US for many years.

And chances are that nobody asks us in our ivory Tech towers. It would work so well that within less than 2 years Chinese apps could disappear like Keyser Söze (which is even faster than Huawei disappeared from the US market ;)).

To whatever extent that AI reduces the cost of providing a serviceable college education, I think that will further separate the reputation of the Ivy League and top 10 non-Ivy colleges from what is likely to be increasingly viewed as the AI-augmented utility college diploma mills.
The Price you Pay for College by Ron Lieber has some interesting background. Essentially, some colleges started raising tuition and then offering more financial aid and discount packages. This made them appear to be providing more to the students who got aid packages and they selected those schools more often. For the wealthy families who could afford the higher prices, they also felt the schools were more selective. The other colleges soon followed in order to maintain their perceived value.

The second driver is the student loan system where the government has allowed special rules that make it almost impossible for lenders to lose. The lenders offer huge loans without regard for the ability to repay because they know they are protected.

Ivy League schools are not outliers though. Pick your random private college with an 80% acceptance rate, and it probably costs 70k+ a year

Musk himself said that Twitter has lost half of its valuation. Twitter took out a $13B loan to be bought (I still don't how how that's even a thing, but here we are), and now it's worth, what $22B? If this keeps up, the value of the company will be less than its debt to the bank fairly soon. That looks like a nosedive, love or hate musk.
Why don't you just read the article? Its thesis is that Babylon 5 pioneered many of the trends that led to the present golden age of TV- a multi-season serialized storyline, auteur showrunner, numerous morally ambiguous POV characters who develop over time. The article argues that B5 was a predecessor to Game of Thrones even before The Sopranos/The West Wing/The Wire kicked off prestige television (or Battlestar Galactica or Lost did the same for sci-fi TV).

Granted, in the '90s you also have Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The X-Files, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine which also shared in many of these trends, but TFA is still worth reading.

That's actually a good point that it's before taxes, I hadn't factored that in.

If you live in a low tax country, you would ordinarily have a lot to spend and be rich, and also have enough money to live off of in Iceland potentially, but might not meet that requirement by even half, whereas someone from a high tax country loses roughly half their income on them and would meet the requirement. Not the fairest method but, as you say, this clearly isn't geared toward charitableness in the first place.
The biggest issue is selection bias. Most people that go to Harvard are smart and hard working. And most of their success is due to this as opposed to due to getting into Harvard.

But I would love to see a value add model looking at the salaries of people who barely got into Harvard vs those who barely didn't and compare that to the cost of tuition.

Very cool! I'm curious if you tried having it interactively query the DOM, rather than sending a simplified DOM? I was toying with a similar idea but was thinking it could just look iteratively for all buttons/text fields on the page.

Yep, you're absolutely correct. Services are where the money comes from these days, and Satya et al show with their actions that they consider the Windows value prop to be as a sales driver for those services.

It's simplicity itself to attribute the revenue growth, and very difficult to link ads to negative sentiment leading to abandonment.

No doubt they see Apple's relentless iCloud spamming as validation, but it's grating to get spam from an OS that you already paid for.

Late reply but in the same boat with VSCode. God help anyone not using a typed language to help more easily catch copilot's BS; it regularly just makes up method and interfaces that don't exist.

It interferes too much with the standard autocomplete/intellisense. I want to use copilot in an on-demand fashion for help with libs I'm not familiar with and scaffolding, but the team seems dead-set on having it always on and in your face; no settings to swap around the default for normal autocomplete.

Maybe I can try toggling it on and off more aggressively. Perhaps Copilot-X's prompt will be more useful for me. IDK but the experience is disappointing especially compared to the potential.

Edit: Also I alluded to this but it's just plane wrong a lot. So the inline suggestions are like 75% wrong and I'm fighting to get my autocomplete to show up instead.
