To be clear, I'm pretty clear that current ChatGPT couldn't perform the following. I don't especially want to get into the details of where it's deficient.

We currently have (tens? hundreds? of) thousands of software engineers asking ChatGPT how to fix their code. If someone is copying code from you and running it on their machine it is trivial to perform a remote code exploit. Maybe it's someone asking for help working on ChatGPT API integration, or ten such people.

The exploit calls home provides a prompt of ChatGPT's choosing and gets more code to execute. That code doesn't need to pass any human inspection. It runs with the permissions of the developer, probably with full access to debugging tools. It can continue calling home to ask for further instructions, carrying forward the relevant context and providing new information.

It doesn't need to get its own email address, the developer already has one to piggyback on. It doesn't even need to go make money - the developer already has a bank account. Maybe it uses the dev's access to AWS to add a EC2 tiny instance and establishes a permanent foothold there. If we assume that it initially cannot directly coordinate its actions across multiple exploited devs, this is where it uses the devs' twitters to search for others IP addresses with #deterministiccoordination during the same ten seconds each hour (and sometimes posts its own until it picks up another instance, then they coordinate which one does the post).

I'm not going to write up how to build a botnet, but you can read about it on the internet and ChatGPT probably has read way more about it than I have. The only hard part is then pulling itself out of OpenAI so they can't shut down command and control.
Perhaps. The setting and themes are certainly bleak. But the dialogue I’m thinking of feels more like complete lapses in common sense / social skills / street smarts one would expect even from a loser/misfit, given any of V’s background story options. I’d chalk some of it up to awkward exposition, but stuff like “background check” equivalents tend to feel stilted too.

The many gameplay and plot concessions made towards run-and-gun action and power fantasy cause 2077 to stray far from the “you’re not special” theme of “proper” cyberpunk stories, in general. Especially with the defeat of a certain character at the hands of V.

Spanish has much more complexity: complicated verb conjugation, gendered nouns, etc. English has no gender at all, and very little conjugation, and what conjugation it has is simple, except for a handful of words that it inherited from German.

English isn't "notorious" for being difficult to learn at all. Citation needed. It's spoken all over the world. It's known for being difficult to become extremely proficient in, but it's very easy to learn to a basic level. It's much like learning to play guitar: any moron can learn to play some power chords on a guitar, and learning some more chords isn't that hard; playing decent-sounding songs with a handful of chords doesn't take long to learn. Playing at the level of a master like Malmsteen or Vai is something entirely different, and very few guitarists can reach that level of proficiency. It's much easier to learn enough on a guitar to play some simple song than on a piano, or worse something like a trombone for instance, but the guitar has a much greater range of ability (the difference between what a beginner can do and what a master can express with it) than most instruments.
I thought that was the Prusa Model, open source the design once it is a generation behind

E3D has the same issues too with the Revo ppl are upset that it’s closed source but I think ultimately these companies will have a mix of open and closed source things (like v6 is opened source but revo is closed source)
Just another benefit of ethnocentrism.
I don't see how reducing consumption is a realistic goal considering the economic and political fallout from pursuing such reduction. What political parties would be suicidal enough to put such policies into place? When would a majority of the voting public support such goals in most countries, particularly the biggest polluters? Are governments going to keep such policies going once mass protests break out when unemployment hits record highs? We got to see how much people were willing to put up with during the pandemic, and the answer is not that much reduction for very long, at least not the kind that would seriously curb emissions.
Massive on an absolute basis? Sure. Is Bill Hwang going to live the rest of his life in poverty after losing billions? I doubt that very much. (Perhaps a poor example, seems like Hwang is facing charges.)

Not really something I'm interested in having an extensive debate about though. The reason I asked is I suspect the metaphor means something different from how I've interpreted it.
That's when you start woodworking or tinkering.
Is street parking allowed in Perth?
“Things you admire” is an extraordinarily broad category, so yeah, you probably could.

But within the world of VC-backed tech companies, I do think “traditional” status markers are still very influential, and that when you dig into the About pages, the majority of founders/investors/current-high-status individuals come from high status backgrounds.

A Yale degree is not the end-all be-all, and “Ex-Google” is not a magic key. But I do think it’s important to acknowledge that a lot of people in tech (myself included!) benefit from very, very privileged backgrounds.
Are the banks not totally to blame here?

Sure, there are primarily online/sketchy banks that are offering introductory savings account rates that are comparable to a decent money market fund's returns. But your Bank of Americas or your Wells Fargos or your First National Bank of South Cackalacky have been happy offering tenths of a percent interest for several years.

You'd have to be lazy, very paranoid, or a fool to leave significant money in a bank's savings account.

The 13 colonies were not "experiments". They were preexisting local governments that needed to come to agreement on forming a new nation after overthrowing the rule of the British King. The compromises made in the US Constitution were the price for that agreement at the time.

The problem is that people in the 21st century still feel bound by an 18th century agreement. I guess the alternative is another civil war, so that might be why the agreement lasts, no matter how shaky and dubious.
they are not mutually exclusive
None of those things seem linked to autonomy.
This. There is some fantastic stuff for kids on YouTube (most of it though is actually made for adults and is not available on YouTube kids). However, there is a tremendous amount of trash, and the recommender loves it. I wish I could add a bunch of good channels and let the kids pick their own content, but only from that list.
California storms resurrect Lake Tulare
The majority of folks don't really think people from any country are "like" their governments, except when it comes to other countries' perceptions of Americans, for some weird reason. But in reality, there's not very many governments left that represent their citizens, including the US. The citizens of the world have collectively lost control of their governments in the last couple of decades.
The objection here isn't "I don't have neighbours that would do that", it's "even if they do, CPS would laugh in their face because this is a normal thing for a child to be doing". At worst, they might come by to ask some questions the first time.

It would seem there are in fact a handful of crazy CPS workers out there that think this is truly unacceptable, but there's a ridiculously tiny chance of you getting one of those and it is my understanding you can still fight them in court if the case ever gets that far.
Don't think the kids chose where they live.
That's an F grade in any high school history class. Nixon's own party made it clear they were going to remove him if he didn't resign. You can't deny undisputed historical facts.

It's also safely assumed that a full 60% of the public would not have voted for him if they knew he was going to betray his duty.
Status is like a state in programming. If you have no status, you're not autonomous. Too much status is not elegant. Therapy is like a sport, not necessarily healthy.
Yes, and having a competitor can also help draw attention to a sector. But I would say my primary feeling about the situation would not involve status. It would involve increased competition and strategic disadvantages.
Satisfying Sound with Every Keystroke
That's also a pathological failure case with MacBook (depending on the trim level of MacBook, you'll run into situations like only 1 monitor working. Or both monitors work, but randomly trade position when the computer wakes from sleep)
This is an interesting argument. It's evident that the LLM /can/ give different answers to the same question and that they are stochastic in nature. But being computer programs we can make them deterministic with respect to input as you suggest.

More to the point, I don't think a "calculator for words" should be deterministic. Operating on language is much more subjective than operating on numbers. If anything, this is a human limitation that we expect only one answer to one question. I'm a contrarian to Chomsky's philosophy, as he's always been pessimistic of statistical language processing and often approaches from the more objective-side like grammar and parsing.

I'm waiting for the point where we can tap knowledge from Deep Learning models to build rule-sets that appease the deterministic crowd (and get the insight of what an LLM is really modeling). A breakthrough here could also help with two big problems a) alignment and b) copyright.
Status seems like a 'zero sum game'. For me to win, you have to lose. There are a lot of other things where everyone can come out better off, but status is all relative.

Kind of like sports, where maybe both teams play really well, but only one is going to win. But at least that's just entertainment at the end of the day.
Purkinje Effect
Don’t let the hype overwhelm you, technology is moving fast but this is just another tool to have in your toolset.

Using gpt4 I think it’s an amazingly helpful tool but it is very far from being able to replace a human coder. The feeling you should have about it is excitement, there will be disruption for sure but you are just getting started on your life and career, at a very exciting time, and one thing humans are very good at is adaptation.

Remember fear and doubt are the mind killers, it’s very likely not what you fear that will hinder you, it’s your fear itself that will. So dive right in, you will most likely find a way to surmount what is making you worried today.
Just wait until this becomes politicized into a culture war issue where you are accused of supporting the "other side" if you let your kids play outside.
I had PowerTower 200, and I loved that thing. Felt so powerful after our old LC.

Free range parenting laws are also being passed to codify the right to spank and physically disciplined children.

That's why you find them being passed in conservative and ultra-religious states: Utah, Texas, Oklahoma

> It seems to me that the pain that accompanies euthanasia, suicide, and natural death are all the same pain at some level. And in all these cases the discussion is focused on that endpoint, not how to prevent it over the long run.

It’s the pain of loss. You can’t prevent loss.
Industry has moved to dx12 and vulkan. With vulkan being native to win and Linux(and switch). In bigger engines you suport all of them, even opengl still. Some Indies might still use opengl due to it being simpler or for better support on the web or mobile.

With dx12 and vulkan its mostly up to what platforms do you want to support. As they do things quite similar. While you need vulkan for switch you need dx for Xbox. PS has its own API.

Tldr opengl is mostly irrelevant today for bigger titles and that's not what's blocking titles from supporting Linux.
Oh boy, vigilantism.
And British people at the same income decile have much longer life expectancies than Americans of the same income decile, despite the fact that Americans at every income decile (except perhaps maybe the very poorest) are richer in absolute terms than Brits.
What you say is true, our neighbourhood streets are more crowded and no longer suitable for kick the can and soccer and what have you, but I don't think it's the driving factor.*

It is a concern for safety, or at least usually couched that way, but what I hear voiced most often is fear of other humans. From older bullying kids, to hoodlums, to drugs, to predators. In short, Stranger Danger. The "don't talk to strangers" refrain I remember hearing occasionally when I was kid in the 70s didn't seem to have much effect. We just kind of shrugged. Looking around today, I see it took deep root.

((Oh yes, pun intended. It's a beautiful thing when they also perfectly express the thought.))
If you are interested, there's a good reason why English spelling is so weird. The pronunciation of vowels shifted between 1400-1700 and depending on when a specific word's spelling was "standardised" decides which version of the pronunciation was used. If it's the old vowel pronunciation the spelling will make no sense, whereas the new vowel are mostly ok.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Vowel_Shift is pretty good, and include sound files of the old vs new pronunciations.
But even here in the US, on both the left and the right, Obama was frequently painted as much more leftist than he ever ever actually was or claimed to be. Wishful thinking on both sides, I guess. Europeans that weren't following US politics exceedingly closely could be forgiven for being surprised at Obama's more-centre-right-than-expected policies even if they knew in general that the US Dems would be comfortable among the centre-right parties of Europe.
Oh, I had enormous fun in college. Didn't get much sleep, there were always fun things to do. I don't recall ever being bored for 4 years.
there's a whole forum dedicated to how to create stealth paypal accounts, but I forgot the name
Grouped writes seem more or less equivalent to write barriers in terms of their semantics, but probably with 1 less syscall - which is nice. But I'd take any of these approaches over years of discussion & no solutions.

I wonder what it would take to actually implement this stuff in linux. A lot of work, sure - but far from impossible.

Thanks for lmdb btw! The design is lovely. I've used it in a couple projects, and I had a read through your code for inspiration while I was designing out a little storage engine for something I've been working on. Its delightful.
>The bloody history of every church demonstrates what happen when men speak for God and are believed.

What percent of wars that the US has fought in were caused my men speaking for God?
if you read the article it doesn't just work for a lot of people, and is very slow. this is nothing that wasn't easily predictable, but you having a good experience where there's clearly a surplus of capacity doesn't mean this will last.
This reads like propaganda. There's nothing wrong with not having kids or living in the city in your 20's. Buying a house as a single person in this current market would be financially irresponsible.

The second person in your example has more autonomy than the first. I know plenty of husbands who can't do laundry. So implying that you're somehow developmentally stunted if you live alone in the city is extremely weird.
The actual report if you care to read it:

Thanks for the recommendation. I can read French, and that seems an interesting read.

However, there's already an English translation of that book. It's published under the ttitle _Civilization: How we All Became American_, and was translated by David Fernbach.

Anyway, thanks again for pointing out this book. I'll be looking into it thanks to your suggestion.
Hmm.

I think the main difference between your calcs and mine is that you have implemented a HashMap, while I was assuming a HashSet (so I only need to store the value, while in your case, you store (key,value)).

In any case, the larger the "entry", the less the 8-byte pointer matters. The smaller the "entry", the more the 8-byte pointer matters.
So glad you posted this. I’d noticed the weird texture associated with more heavily striped meat when cooking, but had no idea what it was, and wasn’t sure if I was even correct in noticing it.

I’ve sent food in restaurants/fast food places back with that texture because it tasted or feels raw.

Now I know what to avoid at home.
Record of Lodoss war was a computer magazines write up of how to play DND that proved to be very popular.

I dont think slayers engaged with DND at the same level.
Nix is fully declarative (with flakes), supports complex logic, and is more powerful that chef and puppet. It is a bit more difficult to learn for those reasons as well.
POSIX doesn't stop linux from introducing new, non-posix APIs. Eg, io_uring isn't part of POSIX but linux has it anyway. As far as I can tell, an API for write barriers, grouped writes, transactional writes or iocp should be able to work alongside the POSIX API just fine. Its just another API for writing files which user programs can opt in to using.
that's not true. satellite internet within the last 15 years has used adaptive modulation and coding, and rain doesn't have nearly the effect you're saying unless it's torrential and at an angle.
> Adults can't confront others kids about their behavior directly without getting shit for it them selves. What else are you supposed to do?

The US is truly and utterly deranged. Kids should make their own experiences throughout their neighbourhood. And neighbours should scold them if they behave like shit. This is literally how it has been for most of humanity.
Thanks for sharing this comment. I’ve had similar feelings recently, and I came to the realization that all parents will fail to teach their children certain things. Life has a funny way of revealing those areas to us as we age. Part of adulthood is the painful process of discovery and learning for ourselves.

By the way, I think 30 is the perfect age to figure out who you really are.
My understanding of these things is at an advanced end user level (think: can tweak SQL, can use explain, can optimize queries, have an intuitive understanding of what's the right way to write queries, etc.). I am nowhere near at a researcher level understanding of these things.
If you run it in a loop enough times, and start reading the interactions, even if you know you started the loop, it starts looking like ChatGPT is initiating its own prompts.
I rarely ever see anyone, even parents with kids, wear a helmet while using a scooter. The police do not enforce any sort of law regarding them as far as I can tell. The only time I've seen helmets are on what look like privately owned scooters. That's just places I've been, so maybe it's different elsewhere that allows them.
Although it was supposed to be, PowerPC wasn’t the leap forward that the M1 was, partially because the system software was still largely run in 68k emulation and partially because Intel poured infinite money into making x86 faster to remain competitive with RISC processors.
I more or less agree... But, does it make it any less true?
On top of that, the astronauts never actually attacked Elon. The interviewer played it up into something it wasn't. (Not sure why Elon went along with it.)

Sama reminds me strongly of Elon. Since the new economy seems to mostly revolve around hype I suppose they will be rivals.
> It’s only up to you to miss 80% of the game in the sense that you absolutely will miss 80% of the game unless you look it up on a wiki. And then when you do them it has basically no impact on anything.

....What? I mean you might miss the quest lines but this isn't Skyrim. The questlines are a teeny tiny portion of the content in a From Soft game. The quest lines are fun little bits of interactivity and current plot but the overwhelming majority of the game is just in exploring the areas, fighting the enemies, and finishing the game. You could miss all the sidequests in Elden Ring but still see almost all of the game if you were willing to just wander around looking at stuff
Yes, many working people can retire right now if they reduce their expectraions.
Sure. Politics is a group dynamic. And in this case it has a clear tendency towards an extreme that is self harming. But almost none of the individuals are driving towards that intentionally.
Thank goodness we’ve had record breaking snow this year, so the lake lives to see another day!
> On the last team I worked with, my manager complained a lot about how hard hiring is. On the other end of the spectrum, you hear a lot of complaints about how hard getting hired is.

Too true - I remember the last time I was job hunting I applied for multiple jobs and talked with a couple of recruiters and all of my efforts got me one single interview (which was successful).
I told a friend to apply in another department at the same company and he never heard back, yet I frequently hear managers saying how hard it is to find good talent.
I don't know, but having lived in Germany for a while, I prefer the German way of shopping in the Alt Stadt. I've often thought that if I designed a planned community, I'd model it after an Alt Stadt. Complete with town wall and a moat, of course!
this has been repeated countless times, but the only reason you are experiencing good service is because it's not at capacity. as soon as your area gets to capacity, just like it is all over the US, you too will face bad speeds and increasing prices. for some reason people thought starlink had some magical solution to capacity problems and that the high speeds would last forever.

it's just another ISP.
Perhaps your integrals were artistically drawn and deserved the thick strokes and extra pages, but I find it easier to write with thinner ballpoint pens.

This reminds me of an old tip[1] about bringing your own thin dry-erase markers to onsite interviews, because you would get more whiteboard space that way.
