Not original enough to get any money. I suggested the same thing a month ago so a lot of other people have probably already come up with the same thing!

I have extensively used Nim for the past 6 years, and it has never been an issue. I have seen codebases where someone wrongly capitalized a variable identifier, which results in a compiler warning being raised. So no harm done.
The new UI looks a bit like Visual Studio Code, I think?
Again, not if you enforce a code style which nearly always should in a professional context.

Such a mistakes is easy for a linter to pick up on so that the code would never be merged in the first place.
Very difficult to do + even more difficult to get right + seldom used ==> proposed feature is a low priority for the compiler team.
This is a valid observation.

I suspect, in practice, almost everyone follows the sane approach of enforcing a code style in your codebase. I think what usually gets lost when this is brought up is that the point of this code style insensitivity is not to encourage you go to crazy and mix and match it in your projects. It's so external dependencies don't have to infect your codebase. So you can actually apply a consistent code style within your project.
So what part exactaly needs banning? Transformer technology? The amount of data used as input to the program? Number of GPUs allowed?

Otherwise you’re just trying to ban a company that has been more innovative than anyone else. Why should they stop?

Any talk of a ban or limiting action needs to be specific. Meanwhile instead of fear mongering why not work on developing AI resistant tech?
I think there was a flag that allows you to turn bad style in identifiers into compile errors. It isn't but imho should be on by default.

edit --styleCheck:error perhaps?
Even California does not think the point of public education to be basic functioning as an adult citizen. The vision statement is “All California students of the 21st century will attain the highest level of academic knowledge, applied learning and performance skills to ensure fulfilling personal lives and careers and contribute to civic and economic progress in our diverse and changing democratic society.”

Irrespective of what one thinks the purpose of public education to be, the effect of this equity mindset is to hurt poorer but capable kids thus having the opposite effect of less equity. Richer parents are already bypassing these restrictions by opting for private school, moving out of the district to other public schools, or getting additional instruction outside regular schooling.

What the commenter is actually arguing for is holding back poor, mostly Asian kids so that they aren’t ahead of poor black and brown kids. All the while rich kids are entrenched ahead of both.

What I think would work better is food safety, tutoring starting at early grade levels, and safe and quiet places to study.
Plenty of people with no skin in the game also realize it's far from the green future they are promising...
We don't have to run the numbers, the civil service publishes what they account for contribuging to the defined benefit pension[1], they're paying in about 27% of your salary. So it's worth about 10-15k on top of the base salary for this job.

The deeper a comment is the longer you have to wait to reply. I’ll improve your day by telling you that you can always click on a comment’s time stamp to reply immediately :)

The purpose of my comment was refuting that 12-step programs aren’t science-backed, which is blatantly false. As you’ve stated, the entirety of literature on the subject shows that it’s at least as good.
Looking at the data, take India for example. >700,000 migrants but only 30,000 new citizens?
Yep! Built my first startup with it. The install process was painful & opaque to users, so it was a big deal when Flash launched because it solved the problem & killed Shockwave fast.
“New bulbs came out, everybody replace all your light fixtures.”

No. I like the fixtures I have, and I have no desire to throw them in the landfill so that I can be “environmentally friendly.”
Yeah, well, that good old world some people (and politicians) are reminiscing about, simply doesn't exist any more. That said I don't mind different countries taking a different approach on things, if that pairs with a reformed immigration approach - aka I can gtfo if I don't like it there.
You are generalizing, and in some cases, comparing apples with oranges. Is NY safer than Florianopolis or is LA nicer than Piriápolis, Uruguay? I doubt. But that's not the point, but the point of wall up, gear up, move up from the city, private schools for safety, and etc.
`discard` isn’t part of the type signature.

The functions in the blog post have void return type because between `)` and `=` there is no `: [type]`.
> have a solid system for validating that two pieces of code are equivalent according to the C abstract machine

What ideas do you have for doing that in anything under exponential time?
yeah, so what if you're late to the game. doesn't matter. did you or did you not make something people want.
I don’t think Scott is serious about that (or if he is, he’s being uncharitable.) I think what the quoted speaker is saying is that nobody is able to keep up with what these models are doing internally. Even OpenAI (and Meta et al.) only seem to be making “so much progress” by pressing the accelerator to the floor and letting the steering take care of itself. And one of the major lessons of technological progress is that deep understanding (at least when humans are necessary for that, gulp) is much slower than engineering, largely because the latter can be parallelized and scaled.
Excellent! I was working on taking an internal project to FOSS that does exactly this. Thank you!
Independent of this, this also gives more and.better options for the energy grid in general.

And economy of scale: if we can produce it, the chance that we can scale it might only be a question of few years.
I think this is the best comment here! It helps resolve the dissonance I feel here where I really don't love that this is the thing he's being charged for, but I also hate the idea that things that are illegal can't be prosecuted due to purely political considerations. But your point about prosecutorial discretion in campaign finance cases helps square this circle for me.

But I'd still say that we need to see more details of the case than have been released yet before drawing any conclusions.
I read the times article, and I also watched Lex Fridman's talk with Eliezer Yudkowsky. Frankly I don't think he is qualified, and I don't understand why anyone is even giving him any credence. His argument is literally:

> A mis-aligned super AGI will result in the death of humanity

I ask, how. He is making reductive logical leaps that don't make sense. It's FUD.
this. so much this.

I'm a somewhat experienced (if irregular) DM myself going back 30+ years and the DM skill level demonstrated, and cohesiveness of the storytelling impressed the fuck out of me. Without appropriate system context setting. Without smart insertion of facts into the prompts, and with a 15 year old with atrocious spelling and grammar driving half the time.

And if that's not mindblowing enough, this technology is still in its infancy?? Holy fuck
Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'll definitely listen to them /try to play them.

I'm fine with 'difficult' music, and I agree with you that Bill Evans is accessible/listenable - what bothers me I think is that I can't predict the actual notes (quartal, 11th, etc everywhere).

Edit: I really like ligeti.
Because the folks at the NSA are not going to stop doing so... The government itself is going to continue with it. And we don't want to allow the state to have the monopoly on advanced AI.
Supporting the Dreamcast is cool... if I wanted to do my computing on a Dreamcast, and if I wanted to do something like that for some reason it would make more sense to use a PS2 instead since it's the most popular console ever, but that has PS2Linux available already which has more software... so there's really no incentive to run BSD.
I used to work for a tech company which ran our incident management stack on Google Cloud. One day, our incident management tool was unavailable due to some billing issue.

Turns out, someone during the test phase set up a limit of $1/day usage, and nobody ever changed it. We'd just finally hit that limit.

What I'm saying is, this isn't an AI-only problem, but it's comforting to know it's already impacting AI-backed tools.
That's a lot of "would" and "may" in the article.

Battery and lithium breakthrough articles are a dime a dozen
Can you integrate that into an IDE? In many IDEs, if you hit ctrl-shift-f, it will search the project for the selected text with just one keystroke. Can vscode be made to Do The Right Thing for Nim without extra fiddling on every search?
Tried in the first week of the ChatGPT announcement.

My conclusion:

1. Sokal Hoax is not contained in the training set. So you need to provide that yourself.

2. Since AI ethics is there in the company, those philosophers introduced what I will called "humanities protectionalism". They finetuned ChatGPT to be unable to say anything against arts and humanities, including social pseudo science.

For examle if you ask ChatGPT to criticize the methodology on behalf of a scientist, it will end every sentence with "humanities is scientific and objective and they know their stuff" something like that.

You may try with GPT-4. I don't know if there is a difference.
I'm even seeing hyper specialized AI doing game mods
Because it's not a raspberry pi. It has a higher power draw, costs more, and most importantly you don't get to choose when you want a new one, rather you have to buy their laptop and wait ~2 years for them to come out with a new motherboard so you can justify buying a second without creating more "e-waste"
Energy input can be green.

If not now, at least doable.
Interesting. I heard many good things about Pycharm, but it kind of looks bloated? How does it compare to VS Code (which is quite good (notebook and repl support mostly), but not great, in particular regarding the debugging experience)?
It's not extraterritorial. If an international company wants to sell goods or services in a country, it must abide by the country's laws.
This is according to CHATGPT so in terms of density you are probably correct though in terms of reliability speed of recharging there probably are improvements

I find all these "look at me I'm very clever and I know what's really going on here" takes very tiresome.
>To use a relatively modern analogy, AI-enhanced development is to developers what Photoshop is to photographers.

Photography as a job has been hit heavily by modern smart phone advances. Heavily. It's now very hard to get paid a living wage as a photographer. With mid journey it's now even harder. Photographers weren't completely replaced. I would say they were mostly replaced because now every Tom dick and Jane can take photos as good as any professional photographer.

>AI [in its current iteration] cannot do that.

All these changes happened within 6 months of progress. The technology has not stabilized. The current "iteration" will be obsolete very, very, very soon..

>As developers, our jobs are safe. Jobs will not be lost at a massive scale; only those unwilling to learn a new tool will be replaced.

Only for the current iteration of AI. Can you say the same for the next several iterations of chatGPT? No. Given the trendline, if it keeps continuing finding a job in software will be like finding a job in photography.
In general you are correct. However, language adoption can skyrocket when some new library/framework arrives which has a compelling reason to switch (e.g. Rails for Ruby)
Without cookies, is that really a problem though?

You can already cause OPTION requests, if the concern is denial of service (although these are presumably much easier to filter out at a load balancer or similar than arbitrary unauthenticated requests).
Thanks for the comment! Yes, and when the pull request is merged or closed, the Slack channel is automatically archived.
Janet for Mortals
This seems like a weak case to me.

Assuming the charges are limited to the Daniels payment, you're correct. It's a weak case. They have to prove the misdemeanor accounting charge, then to elevate to a felony, the DA must prove that crime was used to cover-up some other more serious crime (likely campaign finance related).

The last time a similar case was brought, it was against John Edwards (who took money to pay for housing for his mistress, or something like that). He was acquitted.

But, it appears the indictment has 34(?) charges. If they're counting each check to Cohen as a charge, that's 11(?), so there's something else there. Some of that could be conspiracy charges, but we don't know.

Say my firm's database gets ransomewared. If I pay the ransom directly, that may be a particular way of accounting. But say, I pay McCohen Computer Associates to fix the problem. Why do I not book it as a computer expense? I am not an accountant but am curious how this works.

The two-step payment through Cohen is only illegal if it's done to cover up other illegal activities or it's in violation of some other law.

In this case, it's likely the hush money was funneled through Cohen to keep it off the campaign books - that's what makes it illegal.
Illegally invading a nation, killing upwards of a million people and destroying their way of life in order to institute a top down US-centric view of how society should function - fits their definition perfectly. And not just in Iraq, but Afghanistan as well.

And that's just in the last 20 years. I could also make a case in Syria and Libya as well but that would require first convincing you that our CIA/State Dept. were up to their usual tricks which I suspect would be a waste of our time. And let's not forget our role in this whole Ukrainian boondoggle going back to at least 2014 with funding & fomenting the coup/revolution that gave Putin his "justification" to annex Crimea.

Then we sit back as moral arbiters and want the whole world to still pretend we are always the good guys.
Seems like a pretty thin theory for such an unprecedented case. (I mean. Imagine if the campaign HAD paid for it!)

I’m all for accountability and rule of law. But I’d hope the grand jury has something a little bit better than just this.

>They explored coating its copper current collector with ultrathin lithium-activated tellurium. The aim was to control the way in which lithium metal spread across or “wetted” the copper. They found this new coating helped lithium metal deposit and dissolve from the copper current collector in a thin uniform layer.

Wikipedia: With an abundance in the Earth's crust comparable to that of platinum (about 1 µg/kg), tellurium is one of the rarest stable solid elements.
Solid-state isn't going to fix the crazy high consumption of their EVs.
> South America isn't all as bad as you hear on the news. You seem to have these sweeping ideas. Things usually aren't that black and white though.

I'm German, but i was born there. Spent 20 years there and visit constantly (and love) different countries there like Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. I know my Turf pretty well.

Eh, I think the challenging part is understanding a complex regex that's already been written. You really do need good comments and unit tests to go along with a regex in order to understand the intent, otherwise they rapidly become unmaintainable.
Reskilling is much more productive and fun when you are doing it for the intellectual journey and insight, rather than because you need to do it to find a job.

Indeed being able to auto-pilot your job allows you an amazing amount of time and freedom to learn new things deeply. See also the detrimental effects of "publish or perish" mindset in academia.
The US believes it has extraterritorial jurisdiction as well in many places, even in some cases where it isn't their citizens that are affected.

In general countries may well claim that their law applies even if you believe it doesn't, you then break that law at your own risk, and given that the penalties can be pretty serious I would caution against this without having consulted with a lawyer.

Note that I'm perfectly fine with the EU protecting the rights of its citizens, being one of those myself, and that I'm also perfectly fine with the US protecting the rights of its citizens.

I'm a bit weirded out by how the US taxes its nationals even when they live abroad but if that's the law then that's how it is for now.
Which countries in EU/EEA and which segment of STEM R&D?

In pharmaceuticals and biotech, Denmark, France, and Switzerland are all significant R&D centers with a strong public-private relationship.

In aerospace, the EU has always been decently competitive.

Same thing in automotive R&D (EV notwithstanding).

If you're comparing with Electronics hubs like Japan, SK, and Taiwan, a lot of that is also due to a number of Electronics industry players being located out West and significant diasporas of Japanese, SK, and Taiwanese nationals ended up working in those industries in their heyday and were able to finagle FDI through a mix of diasporas networking within the US and the Old Country and some level of government involvement.

Similar things happened in the EU Pharma industry with a number of French/German/British educated scientists working in Boston+NJ and returning to their home country down the line.
OpenAI is not complying with GDPR regulations and has failed to provide the Italian government with information needed to comply with the regulations. It has 20 days to comply.
I find that this should be the norm for this kind of services. Otherwise it is just Far West in the name of progress and the benefit of few.
Because the NSA isn't going to stop, the CCP isn't going to stop. Anyone who doesn't stop is a threat to my personal freedom, so the only logical reaction to me is to empower yourself as well as possible and keep training.
I think you're wrong about this. We experimented with nonsensical/cheating in other sessions and it's aware of your context and doesn't let you do stuff that you can't do. (Try it yourself and see. Quite mindblowing and defies the whole "only a super fancy markov chain" thing that some critics throw at it.)
Some kind of distributed training, BitTorrent style would be one way of getting around it, using thousands of GPUs worldwide? If we could somehow make the training process profitable, like a cryptocurrency, then that would be even better.
True (within limits), but the largest use of batteries is batteries that move. Utility scale power storage is the only significant use of battery that doesn't move. (there are others, but they are not probably large enough to develop a battery for, and so will be stuck with whatever they can get from the other markets)
This is macho-computing bullshit, the same as the 1980s "it's a toy unless it's a command line".

For most users, SIP increases ownership and control. Chrome can no longer make your Mac unbootable.[0] Journalists and human rights activists can be slightly less afraid of rootkits that can put their lives at risk. Teenagers can worry less about RATs that access their webcams and blackmail them. Companies can deploy these machines with greater confidence that trade secrets won't be stolen.

There's a reason Microsoft, Apple, and even Fedora[1] are all moving in the same direction. Most of the time, modifying system binaries is not done in users' interest: it's either malware, or it's "legitimate" large software vendors who couldn't write proper code at gunpoint, yet feel entitled to take over your kernel, make it unstable and increase its attack surface (look at Windows antivirus makers in the '90s and early '00s. Just look at how ISVs lobby against these security measures: [2]).

If they're really so worried about it they should start raiding data centres yesterday, writing open letters is such an obvious waste of time that I have a hard time taking it seriously.
The difference is that no reasonable person wants to eat poison, but it’s completely rational to want to use OpenAI’s models on the terms they are offered.
