Another point: The reality is that what Biden did, find some old documents and give them back, happens all the time and we need to build better systems to prevent that from happening. In the relevant law, intent is important and Biden apparently convinced the relevant people that he did not intend to keep these documents.

Trump meanwhile, clearly intended to take these documents, clearly lied to the feds about having these documents, gave some of them back when the feds said they knew he had them, lied about having more, and other stonewalling tactics. The feds TRIED to keep this hush hush for like a full year. If Trump would have given everything back at the first question, we might never have even heard of it.

> Kummer also acknowledged that there are "subscription revenue opportunities." Don't be surprised if you're paying a recurring fee for certain features like you already do with some brands.

This is getting so tiresome. Not only have car prices exploded, now we have to pay for subscription features too.

I just don't know how much more of this we can take. Companies no longer innovate. They all just rent seek because there's no true competition anymore.
It's called patrol lights.

They went out of fashion as police departments transitioned from "visible deterrent presence" to "haha gocthca, now pay up you filthy peasant" business model over the course of the war on drugs.

So now you are saying infrastructure providers can't raise prices? Is PG&E not allowed to raise prices on my electricity once I signed up? Is my water company not allowed to raise prices despite the drought where I live?

You have way-underestimated the flexibility and resilience of most people. Raising prices isn't the end of the world; for most businesses they just pass it on to their customers.
In my mind, we don't even need to go that far, we just need to reasonably apply the actual laws that we have today. I don't expect police officers to be paragons of virtue, I just expect them to follow the same laws that everyone else has to follow.

If I park on the sidewalk, I will get a ticket. If a police officer parks on the sidewalk, there is no check on their ability to say "It was necessary for police business", even if it wasn't. Adding a method to track and prosecute that abuse is all I care about; police aren't being held accountable today, but I also don't see any need to hold them extra accountable -- just the same amount as everyone else is fine by me.
They probably see how well Tesla/Rivian sell and they do not have carplay. I guess you are limited to what you can do with a carplay/andriod auto implementation. However, I prefer carplay vs any other (including tesla's) implementation. I'm sure there is an aspect to increased complexity as well.
I think GM (and most car manufacturers) miss out on the partnerships with such players like Apple and Google entirely to extend their OS reach and ubiquity. The SYNERGY could be a billion dollar package add-on. What also puzzles me was why Tesla never bought Apple or vis versa. The UI/UX fast-track in such an endeavor would be mind boggling.
Startups are hard, and I should not have been so critical.

because those large protests were mainly young people. Most New Yorkers, especially the middle-aged and older white liberals, are pro-cop. New York city, the supposed bastion of progressivity and human rights, has the most segregated school system of any big city in the nation. Walk around liberal brooklyn and look at the color of the people being served and those doing the service, and you will see a caste system no better than anywhere in the South.

Convenience is key here: play a game for 30-ish minutes, put it to sleep, pick it up the next day and you are right back where you left it. I think Steam Deck is actually more unsuitable for people who play games all the time.

One useful thing you can do with an SBOM is quickly check whether your dependencies carry any known vulnerabilities. That kind of thing can be harder than you'd think to track, especially across large organizations with many projects.
Oh right. I didn’t mean to say I think it needs regulation. I meant to say that I can imagine conservative people feeling threatened by this. Not saying they should, because I agree. It is limited and the real uses of GPT are quite a bit more subtle than “do everything for me” and it all needs to diffuse into society for a while. Which will probably take longer than we techies imagine it.

Edit: I do think there is a slight difference from your example here. Trucks are already here and driving them is a known thing and it is easy to see how it could work (making it work is still hard). Automating cognition itself is automating a nearly unknown skill. Nobody quite knows what it is we are doing and what box we are opening.

Excerpt:

> His parents made phone calls, hired lawyers and spent thousands of dollars to figure out why the police thought he was responsible for the crime, eventually discovering it was because Mr. Reid bore a resemblance to a suspect who had been recorded by a surveillance camera. The case eventually fell apart and the warrants were recalled, but only after Mr. Reid spent six days in jail and missed a week of work.

> Mr. Reid’s wrongful arrest appears to be the result of a cascade of technologies — beginning with a bad facial recognition match — that are intended to make policing more effective and efficient but can also make it far too easy to apprehend the wrong person for a crime. None of the technologies are mentioned in official documents, and Mr. Reid was not told exactly why he had been arrested, a typical but troubling practice, according to legal experts and public defenders.

Perhaps people should accept that these are more developer tools (like git) and not end-user distribution tools and just use regular distribution packages (rpm / deb) for that.
I haven’t seen anyone mention car rentals in this thread. It is a huge bonus to have an interface, maps, music, etc you know and trust. When renting a car in the last 5 years it is basically standard to have access to CarPlay, and it is the same system many of us use in our own cars. Will rental companies buy vehicles without it, and support this move too?
>I ask, how.

A superintelligent AGI could easily follow this three step plan:

1. Optional: Overtake and spread computation to security vulnerable computers (presumably, basically every computer)

2. Gain a physical presence by convincing humans to build critical physical components. For example by sending them emails and paying them for it.

3. Use that presence to start a grey-goo like world takeover through replicating assemblers (they don't have to be tiny)

Now I'm not a superintelligent AGI, so there may be even simpler methods, but this already seems quite achievable and nearly unstoppable.
Is this the type of reasoning that could be used to basic math without errors (without using a dedicated math engine)? I wonder why that type of reasoning seems to struggle.

I think chatgpt is interesting in its ability to highlight the subtle variations in a concept we tend to think of as more of a single attribute (e.g. reasoning) because humans tend to do certain types of reasoning tasks at the same relative proficiency as others. No human can write complex code without being able to add large numbers, so they are often lumped into the same skill category.

> Reproducibility matters

> Immutable infrastructure removes a whole class of bugs.

Story time. Back around 2010 I was tasked to figure out why a server application written in Java was running out of memory. It happened often enough that the application had to be restarted daily. I was not the one who maintained the application, and I wasn't the one maintaining the servers it ran on either. I was just someone good at solving these kinds of problems.

The odd thing was that the problem only existed on one server in production, even though the other servers should be running the exact same thing. I ran load tests on a staging server, also running the same code, and was unable to reproduce the problem.

With VisualVM and some heap dumps handy, I narrowed down the problem to database-related objects, specifically objects from the Oracle JDBC driver were taking the most memory. I tried checking what was different between the servers that would cause one to have an issue and not the others. Was one getting more load than the others? Were the processors different? Memory? Disk speed?

To make a long story short, I spent entirely too long debugging the problem and eventually found out that one of the servers had a different version of the Oracle JDBC driver than the others. And it seemed that particular version of the driver had a memory leak bug. It took me so long because I assumed that nobody would have been dumb enough have different library files on different computers.

I could kill whoever put that file on one server and not the others! It must have been done manually. I never did find out who did it or why.

Immutable infrastructure would have prevented this problem, but this was back in 2010 where we ran our own servers and immutable infrastructure wasn't a possibility.

If we had sufficiently reproducible deployments then we could have just redeployed the application and the problem would have gone away. Alas, the Oracle library wasn't part of the application code, but instead was part of library code that was installed on the computer and never changed (or so I thought).

It's a godsend to be able to deploy containers that not only contain your application code, but also your server software and their dependent libraries. Reproducibility is so much better that way.

I'll give two examples of code I could for sure write myself but that I had gpt4 write for me because I figured it would be faster (and it was).

The first one was to write a python script to watch a list of files given as cmd line arguments and plot their output anytime one of the files changed. It wrote a 100 line python script with nice argument parsing to include several options (like title and axes labels). It has one tiny bug in it that took a couple of minutes to fix. When I pointed out the bug it was able to fix it itself (had to do with comparing relative to abs file paths). If I wrote the script myself I would not have made something general purpose and it would have taken maybe 30 minutes to do.

The second example required no fixing and appears bug free. I asked it to write a python function to take a time trace, calculate and plot the FFT, then apply FFT low pass filtering, and then also plot the filtered time signal vs the original. This is all straight forward numpy code but I don't work with FFTs often and would have had to lookup a bunch of different API docs. Way faster.

I have also had it write some c macros for me, since complex C macros can be hard to escape properly and I'm not comfortable with the syntax. Its 100% successful there.

So what do you conclude from this?

Here is a thing that has happened.

At a mediocre state university, 10 or 20 years ago, a required course for a CS major was linear algebra.

(I like this particular example, because math is as un-fuzzy as it gets and because of https://xkcd.com/1838/ whether or not that's a strictly accurate characterization of modern AI)

There are or were professors who taught linear algebra whose tests were all multiple choice.

There are/were students who got As in such a course by applying test-taking skills (aka pattern recognition aka side channel leakage) rather than studying until they understood the math.

In this situation, a few conclusions seem blindingly obvious to me:

1. A student who got a good grade without learning the material has done something, and arrived at an end state, completely different from another student who did, in fact, learn linear algebra. There is no philosophical issue, no doubt about reality, and no connection to the "Chinese room" thought experiment.

2. The student who avoided learning may or may not be considered a cheat or failure, but that has no bearing on the consequence that they do not know the math. The fact that they weren't tested on knowing the math doesn't cause confusion about whether there is a difference between knowing and not knowing it.

3. The professor is definitely negligent in using multiple choice tests in a math class.

4. If the professor does use multiple choice tests, they are further at fault if they do not take care to make wrong choices plausible.

In summary, when you swap out an AI for a human doing what an AI does, solving problems without understanding, all of the philosophical confusion and imputed intelligence fades away.

Perhaps this is something that AI experts can't understand because they all learned linear algebra...

I largely ignored CarPlay since it came out since my car didn't support it and I didn't feel like I was missing much vs my mounted phone but recently I borrowed a car for a few days that had CarPlay and I really enjoyed it. So much better than anything from any car manufacturer and the integration was flawless. In fact, my biggest issue was figuring out how to get back into the CarPlay UI from the car default UI when I started the car (I'm sure there was an easy way and I took a convoluted way).

For a long time I said "Just give me keyless entry/start, bluetooth, and a backup camera and I'll be happy" but now I really want CarPlay as well. The car I was driving was much nicer than mine in a number of ways (adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, etc, all stuff I enjoyed) but CarPlay was the one thing I'd really love to have.

Yes, I agree with you. I am grateful for the short-term stability I gained from the meds so that I could get things straightened out and back on track, but after awhile, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze, and everything seems to be going pretty well without them.
i've seen a lot of buzz around such tools in the italian Linkedin space, it was either praised as the ultimate tool to automate jobs or feared it would leave unemployed a lot of office workers.
i understand both sides and can confidently say that this ban was made for the latter concern; the italian job space revolves so much around bullshit employment practices (unpaid internships, long term employment for useless tasks), that an action like that is somewhat understandable, as these tools would render their job either just a useless chore or result in firing.
and as the market is heavily controlled and protectionist of its workers, even if it means employing people for useless jobs (as long as they are paid almost pennies, and their salary doesn't grow) ai tools are seen as some foreign entity that need banning, as it challenges this vicious cycle of keeping everything down. note that workers are to blame too, there's almost close to none innovation in anything besides IT, because you either innovate and then force everyone else to be competitive in the field, or keep everything as it is and just ban competition in subtle and disgusting ways.

for reference, my family taxes are handled by a tax consultant, i do my taxes through an online service, which is way cheaper than having a dedicated consultant. since my mother couldn't keep her mouth shut, somehow this information got leaked to the family tax consultant, resulting in a police search of my office, and a mandatory visit to a police station almost an hour away. this kind of stuff happens regularly.

Actually even in states where there is an anti-abortion legislative majority, the majority of voters, and the overwhelming majority of female voters are against those restrictions.

Nobody forces anyone to have an abortion, but it is almost exclusively male legislative bodies that make laws taking away that decision, and that is indeed something that polls extremely badly with women across the entire country.

You seem completely uninformed on the topic of actual feminism or equal rights or women right's issues, with only a very basic and wrong understanding that probably stems from sources trying to curb women's right. If you feel so strongly I suggest you start reading up on that.

Seconded on YAML. I often wonder if the people who say this are attempting to build their own tooling or have such sufficiently complex systems (which I would also question as to why they are so complex). I've spent the past 10 years in very large media and retail establishments and cloudformation/terraform/k8s manifests have been useful *enough*. I couldn't imagine trying to template/macro yaml files without first looking at some sort of modularity native to the platform.

The thing that worked for me: Don't try to be focused on coding efficiency when learning Helix. I've used Vim for well over a decade and I'm very fluent in it. But when I decided to learn to use Helix, I shifted my mindset to a Notepad.exe-like experience. A lot more scrolling, a lot less jumping. And then I started prioritizing the most needed shortcuts one by one. Helix also has a nice command search that is available via "space ?" that helped me find the commands and key combos that I wanted to learn.

I also went through the :tutor several times. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover typical coding activities, but it does a good job at explaining the editing model.

The features of Helix are also a lot more discoverable than in Vim, because you get these nice menus when you press one of <space> g m v
