I'm not sure anything can keep up. Having nearly unlimited utility also means that it has nearly unlimited surface for vulnerability exploits both for itself and used to attack other external systems.

We have unknown emergent behavior, the inner workings are blackbox and the input is anything that can be described by human language.

It will be impossible task for containment of nefarious uses. Additionally, protecting against humans is supposed to be the easy part, doesn't bode well for AGI/ASI
This is basically why fried was invented. To rewarm rice in a way that's tasty!

But my suspicion is yes. It's the way rice firms up, hardens and separates in the fridge.
> you need to abolish SSH. It's an incredibly limiting protocol that does not support modern computing needs

Yes! Please invent something else, and leave SSH alone.
This does not even make the slightest sense, who cares about money when you can subjugate the masses in other ways. It is only a power game at this point.

And if most of the population becomes useless, why would any psychopath keep them around? I’m sure it can’t be that hard to exterminate most of the humanity.

EU seems to have an abundance of unelected regulatory positions. Eurosceptics are right in that EU represents a form of non-democratic decision-making which has the power to supersede (more) democratically formulated laws from member states. Ideally, the autocratic tendencies of the EU and the member states should cancel out by disagreeing with each other, but in reality member states seem unwilling to oppose them most of the times.
Yeah. What I'm getting at is that I think the relationship is doomed to dysfunction by a dysfunctional culture.
> Seems like a pretty way to solve this by having ssh clients check the TLS of the host

If you're doing TLS then you might as well do HTTPS. GitHub already supports HTTPS and way more features for it than SSH, and HTTPS works over more networks than SSH does. Continuing to use SSH is literally just being obsessed with a backwards old protocol for nostalgia reasons.
Indeed.

Though I don’t anticipate any doom. I think it will force a return to trusting only what you can personally verify. That’s a damn good thing. It’s only very recently that what a random person across the world proports to be true is instantly subjected to the internet rage machine hype cycle of all of humanity. It’s pretty clear now that was a bad idea, made even worse now that everything is so easily fabricated.

As an aside, It’s crazy how recently lately I’ve been told not to trust my own observations and instead must believe “the science” that XYZ media conglomerate is pushing. Hopefully those days are ending too.
I mean all we need now is to find out how to make a prion that forms TDPs so we can glue it to the outside of COVID-19 in some twisted gain of function research.

Likely only if the rice was prepared with oil as mentioned above.
There's probably a corollary, although I don't know the name for it. I still have one pair of shoes and a week's worth of shirts and underwear, an old projector and 10 year old speakers although I own a house and have a net worth over $1m.

I've certainly felt the sudden gravitational pull that comes from having one nice new toy enter your life. It manifests as a sense that "wow, this little overpriced thing is so enjoyable... why am I sitting on a pile of savings and denying myself things that would make my life so much nicer?" Slowly, I started spending $20 for a bag of coffee beans I really like instead of $12 for something that's just okay. But it has to stop somewhere.

I realize I only buy the big ticket items when I either am seriously depressed or feel like I'm going to die soon, or both. The rest of the time, money in the bank is more interesting to me than nicer stuff. This is probably a phobia of spending money that I'll go to my grave with.
I urge fellow HN members to take a stand against this proposal by informing others, participating in public debates, and reaching out to their representatives in the EU Parliament. Let's work together to protect our democratic values and the future of the internet as we know it.
> No biological animal can evolve faster than this.

Are you sure? The robot is limited by its gears. However, animals have cells that can adapt and change through a super sophisticated mechanism called DNA.

We are still way far from reaching living organisms complexity. All stuff we make is very fragile compared to that. Once we are able to modify real humans, you'll know we have the real deal.
One of the main event that lead to Jack Ma's decline of influence was he openly challengeed the banking industry regulation when regulators wanted to reign in the excessive leverage of his Ant Financial, and put tough requirement of risk management similar to those of Chinese banks to his firm. Eventually Ant Financial did get tougher requirements wanted by the regulators, thus preventing the company from leveraging too much. That may contribute to the fact that now US and European banks are in a crisis but not Chinese banks.
I've been using Questflow for my team's workflow automation needs and it has been a game-changer. The no-code interface makes it easy to set up and customize automated workflows, while the Web3-native design ensures security and transparency. Questflow has helped us streamline our processes, save time, and gain valuable insights into our operations. Highly recommend!
Chatbots use random number generators to create a variety of output, so it would be a terrible idea to use natural language as "source code" for a code generation tool. Running a chatbot shouldn't happen within a build process, because the results aren't reproducible.

Once you have the source code though, you can use a variety of tools to manipulate it and save the result. Using chatbots to make modifications under supervision is fine. You discard bad modifications and save the good ones.

This is using natural language for one-offs and source code for reproducible results. It's looking like they will go well together.
Thanks for the correction and info.

I have to retract my claim about the reason those languages use FEXPRs, but I'm not convinced they're good reasons. There are, however, very good reasons why the FEXPR approach has been abandoned by other languages, as the Pitman article points out.

There are certainly better ways to achieve pretty much anything you might want FEXPR-style source code access for. Aside from the Lisp world, there are things like Template Haskell, Rust macros, Ocaml's Camlp4/5, etc.

But you don't even need a macro-like system to implement most of the kinds of features in question here. For example, here's "A Purely Functional Computer Algebra System Embedded in Haskell": https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.01456

It exploits the type system, lazy evaluation, purity, and property-based testing to implement a computer algebra system without needing to accept all the compromises involved in having programs manipulate their own source code.

My understanding is the body “estimates” the calories in what you eat to regulate hunger. Will regular eating of food like this make you hungrier long term as your body realises it was duped?
I feel like Lecun did a poor job of localizing the technique relative to any philosophy, or really explaining what it does for a nontechnical audience.

Saying he gives talks to philosophers, or saying this pushes philosophy to its limits doesn't fix the problem that lecun does a poor job - in this presentation - of philosophically motivating the proposal.

Perhaps I am wrong, and you can point out exactly how lecun explicates the philosophy in the presentation - perhaps it's really embedded in the maths, which I have not appreciated.

Appealing to lecun's authority won't fix the opacity of the presentation. But interpreting it can help! Are you up for it?
There’s tons of models and influencers on instagram with incredible photos and content and yet I find the people I pay attention to the most are just the regular everyday people I know in real life. ML content will just be more noise that I look at for a half second and scroll past.

It can get a bit better if the prompt is made more detailed. For instance here are the four results I got for "Professional black and white photo of Paris in the 1950s, on a rainy afternoon. Leica 35mm lens. --s 1000" (--s 1000 lets it 'stylize' a bit more).

Things still get a little weird in the distance (particularly in photo 3), but I think overall it's a bit better. People who are really good at writing prompts could probably do even better, although one of the strengths of MidJourney V4 and V5 is that it can give good results without the traditional paragraph of "incredible, award winning, photo of the year" etc.

The Reality headset apparently addresses this with an external display that shows the user’s eyes.

It seems hard to imagine how this could possibly be enough to satisfy the waiter scenario you’ve described. But my understanding is that it attempts to handle some version of this social need.
Unless you can actually address what I wrote, explain why it is a "really dumb thing to say", I'll chalk that up to you being bewildered and terrified by the truth in what I say. That's okay, many people are completely subservient to authority, dependent on the government, want to be ruled and protected. I pass no moral judgement in my comment, merely explain why the EU is desperate to surveil their own citizens.
I meant the protocol, not the program. A secure shell is still useful, but the old protocol is like a unix neckbeard that doesn't wanna learn containers.

Inspired by your example I just had a go at creating a mountain climbing game in similar fashion and I agree it does well on the concepts but there are lots of bugs in the details. For example it referred to certain divs by class and id but failed to assign class or id attributes to the respective divs. Maybe there are separate elements generating the response that do not always know exactly what the other has generated. Given the elementary nature of the bugs it should be easy to add a code review element that can find and fix these bugs before presenting the response to the user. When I pointed out a failing it regenerated a new different version of the code responsible but missed the cause of the bug.

Absolutely not. He was the trailblazer for walled gardens and locked down systems. He only fought back when it cost him profit. The iPhone pretty much paved the path for systems where the user isn’t allowed to do as they wish and software producers have to go through the one and only distribution path.
It's complicated. He offered way too much. He made an incredibly poor deal with them. The market went down after he made his offer. So he put himself into a bad position. Anything is worth what people will pay for it.

I thought maybe 10b was what it was worth. And he could have gotten out of it by paying a $1 billion cancel fee, something like that. It appeared his ego prevented him from considering that. But it all goes back to him signing a terrible agreement in the first place.
Skeptical. If you have the will power or habit changing power to make rice such a
staple of your diet that this makes
a difference, then you also have the ability to just eat less food. Same thing.

Shit diet (cakes, bacon, fries etc.) -> heavy low carb rice diet

Shit diet -> Good diet (balanced, carbs, protein, fat, veggies)

I would say the second transition is easier. Perhaps more expensive though.

> I suppose the next intriguing step is for it to not just spew the boilerplate but pick on its own what are the best components to connect - hard to predict how far away that might be.

There are already working demos of ChatGPT writing incorrect code, running the code and seeing the incorrect output multiple times, and then iterating until the code worked. AI can write and rewrite infinitely, thousands of times a day, until it gets the desired result, learning and refining it's own process as it goes, and being fine tuned with human feedback.

This is especially true in something completely digital like programming where it's possible for the AI to run the code and use the output as its next prompt. At the moment it needs human feedback to know if the art it just generated is garbage, but the code it can test itself.

> Also it's not like the US has or needs a draft.

It does have a draft, it’s just not active. You still have to register for selective service as an adult male.Now , I don’t think that it’s ever going to made active again.

As far as needing a draft, there does seem to be a shortage of recruits, notably in the Army and Navy. The army has ads now basically guaranteeing new recruits choice of their duty station, and I’ve seen some interesting signing bonuses from the Navy, but most of those big bonuses are for things like physicians, where you’ll make a ton more money somewhere else anyway and probably aren’t hurting for work.

Honestly though, watching my father try to navigate his mid and late military career, and seeing my brother navigate his early career, I’m not shocked no one wants to join. They seem to be more interested in creating middle managers and bureaucrats than soldiers and fighters. I do have a friend who seems to enjoy it, but mostly because it provided him stability to support his daughter.
You may need to do some more research. SSHD can run on an HTTP port, but why bundle a web server and additional protocols into something? There are web based ssh clients - https://github.com/billchurch/webssh2 - simple google search.

Plenty of "neckbeards" understand containers and probably understand the underlying technologies (cgroups, etc) as well as comparable (or historical) approaches (jails, zones, etc) better than most.

But, because something doesn't cater to your whims, must complicate things that actually work.

I think the Sea Apache design was doomed to failure, potentially deliberately, by including so many modifications to the base design. A reasonably scoped modification for the USMC would have been the standard increased corrosion resistance, folding main rotor, tail wheel moved forwards, and folding tail fin+rotor (i.e. all the same modifications made to the base S-70 design for shipboard use).

The cost question is a very tricky one, hence why I used the comparison of foreign orders between the two types as an assessment of overall value. My understanding is that more AH-1Z/UH-1Y airframes were new builds than was originally planned (hardly a surprise), which strongly suggests that airframe reuse did not save as much in production as hoped. The strongest argument for the AH-1Z cost-wise was the commonality with UH-1Y, but had the USMC considered switching entirely to AH-64 + SH-60 derivatives instead I don't think that argument would have been as strong (after all, the whole rest of the USN operates SH-60 variants, including the ships that operate USMC AH-1/UH-1s).

The RN has flown WAH-64s from their large deck ships, so roughly equivalent size-wise to anything that routinely operates AH-1Zs. The only important modification in the WAH-64 design is a folding rotor to reduce storage size, but that doesn't affect takeoff/landing abilities. With some minor changes like pulling the tail gear forwards (e.g. as on the {S,M}H-60{B,F,R}), you could fit an Apache on anything that can handle a Seahawk (i.e. basically everything with a pad). Notably, the AH-64 wheelbase is not that different from the spacing of the skids on an AH-1, so it's not going to be hugely different in terms of stability on a large deck ship. There's also been a fair number of training exercises between US army AH-64 units and USN ships, so shipboard Apache operations aren't exactly foreign to the US either.
I'm sorry but your idea of what middle class is seems to be way out of wack with the reality that people face. Avg people make a lot less than the mentioned 190k, and if you make over 100k, you are close to being in the top 10% band of salary. If you make 200k are you definately in the top 10%. Most people make vastly less than software engineers. With avg salary around 55k, and that should be included in "middle class". Can you find some statistics or reports that backup your claim that "middle class" is so much higher?
Have you worked out in Supernatural on oculus?

But the experience is like no other exercise I’ve tried. The reporting about the meta acquisition of this company is all off.

> suggesting they actually think "public domain" means "freely redistributable" or something like that

I definitely recall some people understanding "public domain" in that sense in the 1980s. Other people, frustrated with that understanding, did try to encourage adoption of "freeware" for "freely redistributable" software that was still subject to copyright. I don't recall seeing a great deal of distinction between the two prior to the publication of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar".

Government exists to solve the collective action problem (i.e. prisoner's dilemma). In an unregulated market, at times the winning move has lots of unaccounted externalities, so government steps in to realign incentives.

In this case, free education was possible if everyone collectively decided on it, but the market was unable to coordinate those people effectively. Government stepped in and tada - you have free education.

Virtualenv and local environment in Python, and pip
Some people use a virtual environment when working with Python, particularly for large Python projects, while others do not. Those who do not use virtual environments may do so for some reason. One thing is that, for that project, they do not need to use a virtual environment, or perhaps they do not know how to use the virtual environment. Don’t worry if you are the only one who doesn’t know what a virtual environment and a local environment are or how to use them. We will now investigate.
