That saying is often used in the context of non-practitioners throwing ideas at practitioners.

The flip side of the coin is practitioners who are too focused on what’s immediately in front of them to the exclusion of creativity.
Since Bill Gates claims he never said 640K is enough for anyone, and who doesn't trust Bill Gates - I guess I have to agree with that one.
> ...you launch Steam, see a bunch of ads, launch Epic Game Store or GOG Galaxy and see a bunch of ads.

I think it's actually different. These are game stores. When I start Steam or EGS I expect to see game promotions (and *only* game promotions!) and targeting actually works there (e.g. I discovered a couple of games there I then bought and enjoyed).

And finally, at least in Steam I can start directly into my library view, skipping the home screen 'ads'. I would call all that completely acceptable, devoid of the usual dark patterns.
Creating the actions may be easier but parsing / understanding them will often be easier in any format that prose / plain text. I'd rather have a UI with a list of steps and colors and what not than a text I have to read.

Take for example the list of steps in the project. They contain a lot of redundant information I have to mentally ignore.

I’d assume it has exactly the consequences you think it does, but I don’t know that and it becomes more of an unknown as more third parties are layered between you and the LLM.

I’d assume the right prompt by another user of the same underlying LLM on another platform could well expose your private information / content / passwords and would treat this with a lot of caution until you get satisfactory evidence otherwise.

Facebook/Meta IMO has poisoned the whole social media space to a degree, where the expectation I have for social media platforms in general has become one of "this is getting worse over time". Instagram now sucks more than it sucked before Facebook bought it. Facebook now sucks more than Facebook 15 years ago. Reddit now... You get the point. They could have done nothing except maintenance and neutral technical upkeep and the result would have been better than what we have today. And the only reason why we don't have that better thing is profits (or the lack thereof in the old platforms).

This tells me that capitalism is really bad at organizing social platforms (not that this surprises me).

This is the real show stopper. We lack the supply chains necessary to replace all the cars with electric models. This simple fact should give rise to other questions about the practicality of mass conversion to electric vehicles.

As for me, if the supply chains got fixed. I've got the cheapest house in town, with 100 amp 240 volt service. Without spending 10% the cost of the house to get a bigger utility panel, the NEMA 6-50
240 volt / 50 amp breaker option seems barely doable, so in theory I could charge a car overnight at +30 miles range/hour.[1]

Ghidra is reasonably simple to pick up at the entry level. I use it just for fun to make a keygen for commercial software from time to time. Just to flex the muscle.

My take aways are: 1/ You can do RE without knowledge of assembler (which I know nothing about) 2/ C decompiler is useful and you will need to learn some patterns of how things get disassembled 3/ There are many good videos on youtube on how to get started 4/ There is a debugger to see what the program actually does but I never managed to get it running. That would be awesome feature to use.

I used one (an old nokia cable that had been hacked apart) a few years back to get a serial console on my WD Sharespace, so I could figure out how I was going to get debian running on there, interact with the bootloader etc. It was a fun project.

Start with the multimeter, probe for some pins that look like they might be around the right voltages. Next, if you have shell access, cat some data down the port and see if what you think is the TX pin starts to look more alive, then attach your dongle to the likely-looking pins and away you go...
What's your benchmark for cheap and simple? There's a system being tested in Sweden that uses electrified rails embedded in slots in the road surface. Cars or trucks can have devices that drop into the slots and make electrical contact. It's not terribly complicated, though I don't know the specific details of how well it's performing.

There are also systems with overhead lines that are about half the cost of slots in the road, but they're only really usable by trucks because the cables have to be high enough for a truck to pass under.

The cost of petroleum fuels plus the environmental costs of CO2 emissions are themselves huge costs and drags on our economy and quality of life. Our options are: keep burning fossil fuels until they run out, transition to electric vehicles in a reasonably scalable way, or do away with cars entirely. Transitioning to EVs seems like the best available option to me, and appropriate infrastructure will make that transition much easier. If we can cut the average battery size in half by having electrified highways, then that's probably worth it.
I want to know how these pieces are scroobbled to last.fm

Yes, I still use it and my (flawed) choice for classical music is:

- Artist: the composer ("Ludwig van Beethoven")

- Album: difficult, usually either the whole piece ("Symphony No. 5") or a larger collection ("Symphonies")

- Track: the movement ("I. Allegro con brio")

Of course this has A LOT of issues:

- The performer is totally ignored

- The "album" categorization is

- Should the "album" include other descriptors? ("... in C minor" or "Eroica" (yes it's not the same symphony))

- Should the "track" include also the piece name?

- In which language?

Sadly a standard does not exist (afaik)
> gpt-4 does certainly seem to fall into the "AGI" category.

Why does openai themselves and basically any expert in the fields says otherwise then ?

The only people who say so are not in the field and most of them aren't even in tech. Being tricked by the machine on a subset of tasks isn't a proof of agi, it's much much broader than that

It is quite clear which laws they have broken. They haven't ensured that underage users cannot access the material they shared.

I don't believe such laws are realistic in the age of the internet, it just isn't possible to keep teenagers or younger people to see explicit content, which they very likely do. It can be accessed anywhere and there is no solution aside from parents being involved in their media consumption. When kids turn to teenagers, there probably isn't any solution anymore. The tech-affine will have access to such content.

The AI MLM has arrived.
For profits?

I just watched an interview with Max Tegmark from 2 years ago where he talks about "Intelligble Intelligence" and that he feels that's the way forwards, it's an awesome concept. He said what he fears the most is huge black box AI, which shows human like intelligence by throwing more hardware at it, and we keep doing that until we maybe get an AGI.

Well...here we are...
He is insider (though informative)

Except of course, now everyone is going to be doing the same thing as OpenAI, pretty much every day, until forever? We'll want to keep throwing hardware at the problem until who knows when and what happens.

The issue I see here is you are doing a worse job at this than ChatGTP. Creating idioms is hard, that is why we left most of them to Shakespeare.

- "helium" and "balloon" have a more awkward rhythm than "confetti" and "cannon". It also loses the connotations of sudden, explosive and exciting change.

The average person in the Islamic world gets upset if you point out that the "Golden Age of Islam" is more due to the advanced cultures of the countries conquered and appropriated under the Islamic banner. There was quite an advanced world before 7th century AD i.e. before the advent of Islam. Persia, Mesopotamia, The Levant, The Mediterranean, Greece, Turkey, India, China etc. all hosted advanced cultures. Islamic conquest/trade acted as a conduit in the exchange and amplification of ideas from various parts of the world to Europe who then took off impressively to birth the "Modern World".

Depends on which part of the Islamic world you're looking at. Al Andalus was a more Arab speaking part but India was definitely more Persian speaking because of the Turkish influence. Knowledge of both Persian and Arabic among the educated elite was common.

Yes, the "genpop" indulging in casual crimey activities are shockingly lax about basic opsec.

I did some work consulting for the NCA a few years back (they're a very weird mix of some extremely tech-competent folks, and some parts total luddite) scraping "dark web" forums looking for high-value law enforcement targets -- and it was ludicrously simple to identify "retail" participants who were, for example, trying to buy credit card/bank info dumps,

FWIW unless there was some sort of big metrics-driven or politically motivated push, these retail-type small fry were generally ignored in favour of trying to identify and trace down more organised efforts.

"easily train cheaper OSS models"

That's the claim, but I don't see it. All these open models I tested are WAY worse than GPT-3. (2?)
That’s kind of the opposite of what I’m saying.

We need a secondary class of banks: ones that don’t leverage their deposits into investments, but rather simply keep people’s money safe.

That way you can choose your bank. Do you want a bank that will actually yield return on your deposits and pay you back in kind or do you just want to keep your money safe? It would effectively bring back investment carried savings but also allow people to store their money in safer banks with actual deposit insurance if that was their goal. The problem is that a bank is a bank and we don’t know what their business priorities or risk calculus is in any meaningful terms, so how are we supposed to choose a “safe” one?

I don't really have a horse in the race here, but I'll note that SEC commissioners are appointed by the president, so it's not surprising that they have different opinions if they're appointed by different parties. Gary Gensler is the chair right now, he is very anti-crypto. Hester Pierce is a republican and the republican-led SEC had a much more wait and see approach than Gensler does. (Arguably, you could say "we saw" after the latest crypto crash, but I still have a feeling they'd be less adventurous legally)

Steve Grimm was a coworker of mine during the heady days of B5. I found myself invited to his home for a few viewing parties of the show during its original run. My girlfriend ruthlessly mocked the show, but she realized how near and dear it was to my heart. I was an unmitigated fanatic for it since that fateful Comic-Con in the early 90s when my classmate professed his devotion to it before the pilot aired.

In fact at this very moment, I am viewing "The Gambler III" with Kenny Rogers and Bruce Boxleitner (special appearance by Colm Meaney).

In a way, my life in those years sort of paralleled B5, with wild roller coasters of drama and enigmatic encounters in strange lands. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

> people shrug at government actions that would have every post-Soviet human rights activist up in arms

Post-Soviet activists did accepted quite a lot ... and post soviet societies are quickest to fall into authoritarian. There are not that many activists in the first place and activists are looked down upon by too many people.

My point here is that generally, people on the west are massively better at keeping things democracy.
Usually things break because you used an external library.

A self contained bundle of software with no external dependencies cannot break, because it has no externally changing parts, that should be obvious.

This was true in the age before USB-C. Every single computer had a different proprietary connector or weirdly wonky barrel charger with nonstandard voltages.

Now you can borrow an USB-C charger from anyone - I've used my Steam Deck charger to charge my laptop (it didn't really charge it as it just slowed down the battery drain, but still it got me through the day). Even a phone charger is better than anything, the extra 10-20W will give you a slight boost in runtime.
The key issue in automation transitions is the transition of affected individuals to other sources of income.

In previous technological revolutions, affected workers were hurt by their loss of income, and some no doubt fell into poverty without ever recovering. Not everyone can be retrained for new types of jobs immediately - (1) they may not have the needed foundational knowledge or the cognitive flexibility/ability, and (2) there might not be enough of the new types of jobs emerging quickly enough for them. Not every displaced miner can become a coder, or be competitive for junior dev jobs.

(Why should the state provide for these workers? Well, primarily for humaneness, and also social stability.)

The rewards of automation (cost savings as well as profits) are reaped by (1) the capital owners of the automation technology companies (and their higher-paid employees), as well as by (2) the companies and consumers using the new automation; therefore those owners and beneficiaries could be asked to bear at least part of the costs of supporting, retraining, and placing in jobs the workers they displaced. In a nutshell: Redistribution during structural unemployment caused by technological transitions.

A humane policy would provide the above types of support for workers displaced by automation. Ideally it would already be handled by existing unemployment policy, but in many countries such support is limited or minimal.

Corporate taxation might need some rethinking along the lines of job-displacement effects of companies (a tricky question, I admit - I've come across one or two proposals for assessing the automation level of companies for taxation purposes). The cross-border dynamics add further complexity, given that automation will displace many jobs outsourced across borders.

Given that the current AI revolution looks like it will be causing even larger and faster changes than previous revolutions, such policies are imo needed as a prerequisite (one of several) for allowing the development of powerful job-displacing AI.
> That's the whole point of Tesla making attractive vehicles, aesthetically and functionally.

Aesthetics are one thing, although I find Teslas to be quite boring and even outdated, but the claim regarding Tesla's functionality is heavily debatable. Tesla is basically rediscovering why cars are the way they are and also struggling with quality.
