I see you take a pessimistic view.

The way I see it: smart phones just made photography more accessible to everyone rather than for those who can afford $5k photography kit and a darkroom. Stock and news media photography went the way of the dodo, but there's still plenty of room for photography as a creative endeavor.

No matter how much you throw at it, you cannot replace the human behind it. It is too difficult.

Our jobs as developers are safe for current and future iterations of AI. The way we develop software may very well change, but we will still be developers. It's very well possible that software will go the way of photography. But that only means software is in the reach of everyone who wants to try their hand at it. It is a net good.

But that's not likely to happen anytime soon. So yes, our jobs are safe. Mine is quite safe. For quite a long, long time.

> Perhaps if he goes to jail, he can't run for office?

There is no restriction on a candidate for the US presidency vis-a-vis current or former incarceration. Anyone could constitutionally run a presidential campaign or even serve while in jail. This is because the Supreme Court has held that only the Constitution can set qualification requirements. [0]

The sole, debatable exclusion seems to be the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president and cabinet (or the president themselves) to shift presidential powers to the vice president when "the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office." [1]

Had to read about suicides in Singapore. I could not believe this, but apparently suicides were ILEGAL in Singapore until recently :

Suicide was decriminalised in Singapore with the passing of the Criminal Law Reform Bill on 6 May 2019.

Before that, Section 309 of the Penal Code stated that "Whoever attempts to commit suicide, and does any act towards the commission of such offence, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year, or with fine, or with both."[13] The section was rarely enforced, between 2013 and 2015, only 0.6% of reported cases was brought to court.[

Makes you really think about executing your idea successfully. And also probably no point i hoping for suicide prevention hotline.
Those are the terms from Google's announcement: https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.google/inside-google/messa...

10 years gives you 36 weeks of severance, plus 6 months of healthcare.

If you have a family, you're never going to have a better opportunity to spend several months working on your side project without measurably impacting your family's stability.

Plus, when you do need to resume your job search, your resume is now "I spent ten years doing these things at BigCo using their proprietary tooling, plus here's the demo of the thing I tried to startup the last six months using off the shelf frameworks, which I am now already proficient in."
I've seen a lot of people worrying about "what will China do with LLMs?" But my question is: how do you know they don't have them already? What if they've been deployed on the internet for the past three years?

I guess the same logic can apply to CIA, NSA, DARPA, etc.

But you can take solace in the fact that most government organizations are pretty inept. It used to be common understanding that the military/intelligence apparatus had a 20-year head start on private industry, but I don't believe that's been true for a while now. The internet made knowledge sharing too open for it to be feasible to keep cutting edge research cloaked in secrecy.

For the same reason, I don't believe the US military has some kind of anti-gravity UAP propulsion. It just strains incredulity too much.
Study finds excess harm from overprescribed antibiotics for patients
You misread that. It's $5 of electricity. Nothing about the membrane, how long it lasts, any of the construction and maintenance costs, etc. And that's if that quote on the cost of electricity is remotely correct too.

And unless they have any of these facilities under construction, they're not going to contribute to supply issues in the next 3-5 years.
For me, it comes down to the cohesiveness of the whole thing. VSCode plugins often feel janky.
I like Faiss but I tried Spotify's annoy[1] for a recent project and was pretty impressed.

Since lots of people don't seem to understand how useful these embedding libraries are here's an example. I built a thing that indexes bouldering and climbing competition videos, then builds an embedding of the climber's body position per frame. I then can automatically match different climbers on the same problem.

It works pretty well. Since the body positions are 3D it works reasonably well across camera angles.

The biggest problem is getting the embedding right. I simplified it a lot above because I actually need to embed the problem shape itself because otherwise it matches too well: you get frames of people in identical positions but on different problems!

People always use bloated as an argument against something. Bloated framework, bloated linux distro, bloated ide…

What really is the problem with having all “the plugins installed”/features, nicely integrated, always compatible, reasonably configurable, maintained and with support vs inflating a minimal editor (framework, *) yourself, without all the advantages mentioned earlier.

Yes it may cost some cheap memory, vs costs of fixing plugins yourself.

My advice: Embrace it. Everything just works. Bloated in many cases is a non argument.

Disclaimer: long time bloated fan. Pycharm, django, monoliths. I rather spend time fixing things that matter.
Would be nice to get access to the API so I can confirm for myself. What a joke from OpenAI's part to do this epic announcement and then limit access to big spenders and maybe a few lucky developers. I'm a paying customer (for the API), but clearly I'm too small potatoes to be considered.
I think there is a spectrum between not optimizing anything and optimizing everything. The whole selection vs neutral drift controversy is about placing effects on that spectrum. But of course it is more complex than that -- at different times and different places selection may be more important, and at other times and places less important. So when you look at organisms today, you see evidence for both (no seals on mountains, but human "tails" and other vestigial artifacts). Evolutionary history is very long, even just for mammals (>100 My), so it is difficult to say which part of the spectrum (selection (optimization) vs drift) played the more important part. Modern organisms are at the end of a path that could have taken many branches.
This is good to know, I was planning on visit South America at some point in the next ten years, although I was mainly planning on visiting some of the Spanish speaking countries because I've been learning Spanish. Do you think that Brazil is generally improving over time in terms of safety or are things mostly the same as they were ten or twenty years ago? From the outside, whenever I see a documentary on Brazil it looks like it is improving quite rapidly but the gang violence looks like it is difficult to get under control?
ChatGPT uses RL actually, but you are talking about something more like Adept
> 1) he genuinely believes this. I don't believe he's that naive/uninformed/ignorant. But I can't exclude the possibility.

The entire story is (literally) openly-admitted propaganda from Stellantis.

From the article:

> The comments from Tavares came during the Freedom of Mobility Forum, a platform the automaker created alongside its decision to leave the European Automobile Manufacturers Association and to change its approach to public affairs and lobbying. ... The hope through the forum is that the debate from views around the world will help to inform and influence public opinion to which lawmakers ultimately are subject.

It links to another article[0] which is even more explicit:

> the automaker is emphasizing "public affairs" over "pushing an agenda."

> "We came to the conclusion that ... it's better to talk to the people, and if the people change their mind, political leaders will align with the people."

I'm no PR genius, but it's not hard to figure out what agenda Stellantis is pushing with this new "not pushing an agenda" agenda...

Just an option if magnitude is an issue. You only needs 0-1 plus a sign bit.

Fixed to float is easy enough. It'd let you use a fixed point implementation for 0 - pi/2 benefiting from smaller look up table and simpler implementation.

Jetbrains IDEs are an industry standard, and has a quantified ROI on time saved.

First thing to think about: Pycharm is an IDE, VSCode is an editor. You're going to bloat VSCode to get anywhere near the functionality of Pycharm.

I believe jetbrains products have made me a better developer as it should provide more context and intellisense to give you guidance away from code smells and bad practices, without becoming a crutch (moreso for statically typed languages).

Also, very fond of the keybindings on macos as they mirror chrome, os, and electron applications.
Nim uses C/C++/Obj-C as a sort of abstracted assembly. While it's possible to follow the generated code with some formatting and effort, it's made to be optimally machine-parsable and optimizable. I suggest giving Nim a try and checking out the generated sources to see for yourself.
It's weak case that has unified the party and base around Trump.

Desantis fought with Trump two days ago, is now about him like a dear friend.

If they couldn't get anything on Trump for J6, then they have nothing, and it's all witch hunts here.

Bragg literally campaigned on arresting Trump too.
Still a knights battle helmet when it comes to looking on text.

> do you need to include in that the cost of the shipping?

I think it depends on the country. Here (Canada) I believe you are instructed to include the shipping cost, but in practice they charge by the declared invoice amount, and vendors generally don't include shipping in that.

For BWB, it used to be the case that if you happened to have a US IP address (as I sometimes did from work), you'd be given the US price regardless of the destination. That was fixed years ago.
They use hydrogen to produce electricity in a fuel cell, so are by definition, electric cars. Unlike natural gas which powers a car by combustion.
On Twitter, it was "multi-blillionaires [Elon Musk] want to keep us down!" In the HN open letter thread it was "All the companies falling behind want a chance to catch up." Now it's "Gary Marcus".

The letter was signed by a lot of people, including many AI researchers, including people working on LLMs. Any dismissal that reduces to [one incumbent interest] opposes this" is missing the mark.

A lot of people, incumbents and non-incumbents, relevant experts and non-experts, are saying we need to figure out AI safety. Some have been saying it for years, other just recently, but if you want to dismiss their views, you're going to need to address their arguments, not just ad hominem dismissals.
If a person you had an affair with 10 years ago threatens you that they will tell your spouse or try to damage your reputation unless you pay them 130k, I think that would generally be considered extortion.
Hi, I'm the I & I editorial board, you might remember me from such articles as:

Another great place to buy books is BookOutlet. They sell primarily overstocked books, and I'm always pleasantly surprised by their selection. I'll add books to an Amazon wishlist than every few months take that list to BookOutlet and search and they usually have 20-30% of what I'm after for less than half of Amazon's price. The books usually come with a single dot or swipe of a sharpie along one of the open page edges for a reason I'm not totally clear on but must have something to do with them being contractually unable to sell books in perfect condition or something.
The IntelliJ git interface makes a lot of sense, and makes many helpful operations easy, like “compare what I have now to this particular commit”. The VSCode git interface, even with plugins like GitLens, seems to make these operations hard to get to, and how VSCode manages diffs with the staging area involved is totally bananas.

Aside from that, PyCharm has a slightly better debugging interface but otherwise it’s quite close to VSCode for Python development. Sane version control is a bit aside though.
Strikes me that H2 made from excess solar panel output, at source, might become a thing. If you have enough solar for your needs then you're over-producing when the sun is at its peak. With feed in tariffs being low it makes sense to use this -- and hydrogen vehicles are an option.
It certainly makes me feel like a teenager lol.
It would be one thing (but still a weird feature that calls the rest of their decision making into question) if it normalized fooBar into foo_bar (or the opposite). But that's not what it actually does, it normalizes both into foobar, which introduces new ambiguities. In fact, you can often end up with the opposite meaning! For example, a few Swedish examples:

- hand tvättas (wash your hands) != handtvättas (wash by hand)

- sjuk gymnast (sick gymnast) != sjukgymnast (physical therapist)

- sjuk sköterska (sick nurse) != sjuksköterska (hospital nurse)

- lång hårig (tall and hairy) != långhårig (long-haired)

- sjö nära tomt (lake near a house) != sjönära tomt (house near a lake)
A state governor doesn't have control or influence over federal law enforcement, nor do they get the cloud of ambiguity created by presidential immunity.
I think it was not a poor joke, cause I think the reference perfectly fit the contest, anyhow my 'take is as a joke' was an invitation to take it less seriously, although it is a LOT of money (not coming from tax, I know, but anyhow collected to protect the general public and not a few), so it should also be taken more then seriously, as you did.
> They're basically the definition of a nonlinear device

I don't think this is right. Triodes and pentodes have very linear operating regions. More so than a lot of solid-state devices. We make modern circuits more linear by using lots of active devices with negative feedback.
Same here but the trick is also being popular.
It's the best IDE you can ever use, not affiliated.

The number of little 'intends' that make your life easier is just next level.

If you are using other IDEs of the intelliJ set you can use all the familiar refactory workflows etc.
The End of Programming Is Nigh
no we just value some things over more than others. like freedom above safety. that is a conscious and reasonable tradeoff we are happy to make. like i am happier living in a place that has higher rates of violent crime if that is the price for increased liberty.

assuming that what you value is the only right option - who's the chauvinist here?

VS code support for multiple Python environments and dependency handling (be that requirements.txt or pyenv or…) is really quite terrible compared to Pycharm.
Bragg campaigned on arresting Trump.
These goalposts keep evolving.
Elon Musk is the most ironic signatory of this blog post, considering his decade-long effort to put AI behind the wheel of 100mph+ vehicles. And then he's got the gall to lecture the rest of us on "AI safety" after we finally get a semi-intelligent chatbot? Come on, man.
Did you use any publicly available resources to learn how to leverage these LLMs in new ways?
It depends on what you need to track. For my startup the thing is that open-source developers are sensitive about data and do now want to share them with you.

The reasoning pattern of Yud and his ilk is fundamentally theological and eschatological in nature.

There isn't any actual understanding of the technology involved. It is fundamentally an ontological argument. Because they can imagine a god-like super intelligent AI, it must be possible. And they're associating that with LLMs because that's the most powerful AI currently available, not based on any actual capabilities or fact-based extrapolation from the present to the future.

Meanwhile its distracting from actual AI safety concerns: namely, that corporations and capitalists will monopolize them such that their benefits accrue to relatively few rather than benefiting humanity at large.
Which is why they don't have the final say; the verdict is made by the trial jury after hearing from both sides.
I have switched to fedora Silverblue because I wanted my system to be as stable as possible between updates. But I think it's true that one has to delve into container technologies to fully use the OS, and that is a bit of an overhead.
I use PyCharm for my job as well as for personal projects, and it handles large codebases with type annotations very well. I would compare it to Visual Studio (not Code) in the sense that it’s a batteries included deal, which means larger initial size but I use maybe two plugins.
is this production ready? last time I checked GC for c and c++ and I don't think c and c++ are really GC-friendly by design. After nim's transpiling, is c/c++ using those data structures and functions somehow to manage resources(similar to RAII) but not really acting as a GC in c/c++?
Academics, businessmen, and other non-governmental entities are usually better off advocating for the government to enact regulations than engaging in paramilitary action on their own.

Do you think Extinction Rebellion is doing more to fight climate change than the people working with governments to enact good climate policy? Do you think PETA is helping animal well-fare more than more than the various organizations recommended by animalcharityevaluators.org?

Serious people don't engage in terrorism because the issue is serious. They try to convince the existing power structures to take action.
They should have used a flattery plus dialog prompt. I've seen incredible results from that for Haskell programming.

Okay lets take an example. Do you think the Vatican likes chatgpt?

Lets ask chatgpt what he think about sex:

"It is important to protect oneself during sexual activities to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Using condoms or other forms of contraception can greatly reduce the risk of transmission and unplanned pregnancy.

Additionally, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with sexual partners about sexual health and STI status, and to get tested regularly for STIs, especially if one is sexually active with multiple partners.

Ultimately, the decision to protect oneself during sexual activities is a personal one that depends on individual circumstances and preferences. However, it is generally recommended that individuals take steps to protect themselves and their sexual partners from potential health risks."

I especially liked the "multiple partners" part didnt you?
That actually came from a case called ABSCAM in the 70s and 80s. ABSCAM was a case where the FBI ran a sting (or entrapment depending on your POV) that ensnared and convicted of bribery about 30 people, including a dozen politicians... a half dozen members of the house and a US Senator.
Yes, good productivity will be amplified and so will bad. There's people on my team that are super productive but cut corners, don't code in as a maintainable way etc. I usually get a slow senior dude to gate their PR until it passes. But it might just be less hassle to let the senior dudette to get more productive with an AI. We'll see...
Have you experimented with gpt4all? It runs localy on commodity hardware.
Your point is GPT is way more dangerous?

I guess I can be nonchalant about this topic. For me personally I cannot imagine something worse than either books or anything you can already access on the internet. To me it is not an assault rifle as you say, but I understand that's just an opinion.
This is about what the comments looked like immediately after ChatGPT came out the first time. Give it a few weeks for the GPT-4 hype to settle and I think we'll be right back to where we were.

Lithium may be available everywhere, but it doesn't mean we're producing it in a consumable way.

We're producing about 130kt of lithium. Assuming 75kg of lithium per car battery, that's about 2mil cars/year. We produce around 60mil cars/year currently.

That's not including any other lithium use.
