Those states may exist for specific functional reasons, but I don't think that implies that there is necessarily no other way to replicate the functions resulting from those states.

We see this already in other neural networks. The features used by a lot of models for classification can be widely different from the features used by a human.
The original paper was actually x27 developer or something crazy like that. I think Brooks recast it as the x10 developer because x27 was too unbelievable.
It's always boggled my mind that they'd have 32 bits of addressing registers, but overlap 12 bits, leaving just 20 useful bits. What a waste. I guess the segment:offset scheme had some advantages, but honestly, I've never felt like I had a good understanding of them.

But, what if the overlap had been just 10 bits, or just 8, leaving a much larger functional address range before we got clobbered by the 20-bit limit; what if it was 22 or 24 bits of useful range? Can you speculate what effect such a decision would've had, and why it wasn't taken at the time? I understand in 1978 even 20 bits was a lot, but was that optimal?

You also get some relativity with some elements. Gold is the one that I recall most readily.

Relativistic Effects and the Chemistry of Gold - https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/BF03215471.pdf

> In atoms of high nuclear charge (Z), as a consequence of a relativistic effect, the s electrons of an atom become more bound and their orbitals smaller than if this effect were absent. Simultaneously, the d (and f) electrons are less bound because of this effect, which scales roughly as Z2. Gold exhibits a large relativistic effect. This accounts for gold being more resistant to oxidation than silver. It also accounts for higher oxidation states being more accessible in gold than in silver. These effects are illustrated by some fluorine chemistry of gold and silver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_quantum_chemistry

> Relativistic quantum chemistry combines relativistic mechanics with quantum chemistry to calculate elemental properties and structure, especially for the heavier elements of the periodic table. A prominent example is an explanation for the color of gold: due to relativistic effects, it is not silvery like most other metals.
Why does the fact that the construct is made of objectively non-human parts make it incapable of obtaining consciousness or personhood? This is just the materialism vs idealism debate. If you subscribe to the materialism argument, then a construct made of non-human parts is perfectly capable of reaching "personhood". The physical ingredients involved are irrelevant.
Based on my experiences having spent a bunch of time experimenting with LLMs for writing code, I think the hardest part that I haven't yet seen a solution to is modifying existing code bases.

Sure, if you're doing greenfield, just ask it to write a new file. If you only have a simple script, you can ask it to rewrite the whole file. The tricky bit however, is figuring out how to edit relevant parts of the codebase, keeping in mind that the context window of LLMs is very limited.

You basically want it to navigate to the right part of the codebase, then scope it to just part of a file that is relevant, and then let it rewrite just that small bit. I'm not saying it's impossible (maybe with proper indexing with embeddings, and splitting files up by i.e. functions you can make it work), but I think it's very non-trivial.

Anyway, good luck! I hope you'll share your learnings once you figure this out. I think the idea of putting LLMs into Firecracker VMs to contain them is a very cool approach.

It depends on whether "living longer" is a continuous trait, I suppose.

I could imagine there being 20 or 30 genetic factors that affect your longevity, like whether you are susceptible to lung cancer from smoking.

Having a particular trait is a binary, which introduces the possibility for steps in the distribution; each slice of the population with a particular number of longevity factors has a certain distribution of actual lifespans that add together to form the observed life span, but the distribution of how many people have each distribution could decrease sharply; perhaps millions of people have 24 factors and produce centenarians, thousands have 25 factors and produce 110+, and dozens have 26 factors and produce 120+.

Such a model is entirely made up, pulled from my ass, but it is also quite compatible with our discrete genetics, and would be perfectly compatible with large gaps at the end of the distribution.

About me:
I'm currently a senior full stack engineer at a nonprofit education organization, but I'm looking for a change. The last few years I've provided the majority of my value on the Frontend in React, Node, Typescript, but I am very interested in opportunities that expect me to be more Full Stack and I'd be very motivated to get up to speed quickly with oneOf[Go, Python, Clojure, Rust], as I'd like to extend my breadth of knowledge.

While not having this isn't a deal breaker by any means, a "cherry on top" type fit would be an organization where I can provide value to you with my current bread and butters (React, JS, Typescript) while expecting me to get up to speed in a different backend language quickly.

The trait itself is not the concrete implementation, since a trait can have many different concrete implementations.

A trait is, for all, or at least most, intents and purposes, an interface that can have an optional default implementation of some of the functions inside it.

Traits, interfaces and types can also, for all, or at least most, intents and purposes, play the same role. Define a contract of stuff implemented by a code entity.

Of course any added special semantics depend on the language.
It doesn't sound to me like he's making the argument that you think he is. He's saying that being able to manipulate Chinese symbols per some instructions isn't sufficient to demonstrate understanding of Chinese. Okay, I agree. But seeing someone manipulate Chinese symbols doesn't mean that you can assume they're simply following instructions without understanding the symbols either, does it?

I bought a 6DOF robot arm a while ago, which uses servos driven by PWM, which I found quite fun.

It was only around £70 for the servos + metal framework. I drive it with a Pi and a PCA9685 based I2C board.

I was driving with a 5V supply, but it looks like the servos can run at 6V, which I need to try, as the bottom servo in the arm doesn't seem to have quite enough power.

I'd like to sometime try to 'teach' it to draw with a pen (however badly), 'Inverse kinematics' feels rather scary though, so wonder if anyone might have any very basic tutorials on this.

Tangentially related, I just bought 'The Ultimate Guide To DIY Animatronics' yesterday, which I'm looking forward to reading when it arrives.

And have been watching a few videos on animatronics such as:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0R8-F4TmPI - 'Show and Tell: Animatronic Raven Kit!'

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNIfx0Xddzc - 'How Realistic Animatronics Are Made For Movies & TV | Movies Insider'

Curious if anyone has any recommendations for videos/books in this area?

They dont since Russian and Chinese SWIFT alternatives were launched.
SpaceX was lucky to get an award for RDOF at all given that when they applied there was virtually no evidence that they could serve what they promised, and the FCC even made a special stipulation for constellations that did not exist/were unproven so they could bid. SpaceX would not have even been allowed to bid, but their pressure on the FCC allowed them to. So they were given a chance, and lo and behold, they did not and are not meeting their obligations. The FCC is entirely in the right to sit on the appeal until SpaceX proves that they can provide the service they signed up for.

I'm not sure why you're calling me a leftist or what politics have anything to do with this topic. The FCC has been unusually nice to SpaceX over the years to the point where virtually all other satellite companies were suing because they were being given preferential treatment on things that the FCC never allowed before. Now that the playing field is fair (well, not quite since nobody else in the space got RDOF money), SpaceX isn't so magical.
That just sounds like a developer who had worked on a similar project before, which would obviously look like some kind of genius vs those starting from scratch.
Stefan pretty much captured my perspective! I might just add a couple of related things:

We have a subtle but important difference in focus compared to a product like Notion. We're not aiming to build the best knowledge or workplace management product. We're really focused on building something that helps you author high-quality content (usually, that will be shared publicly).

Secondly, IMO the end-state of many of these products won't look like Microsoft Word/Notion + AI. I think entirely new interfaces and workflows will be discovered over the next 2-3 years that wouldn't have been possible without today's LLMs. The one advantage we have is no priors – we can take big swings on "risky" ideas.

Like Stefan said, I know both of those probably still sound a little hand-wavey but it's part of what keeps us motivated to keep building.

Yes. I intermittent fast every day from 2pm until noon the following day. I allow myself a 2 hour eating window (22:2) per day. This 2 hours involved me eating a decent amount of a mostly raw vegan diet. I do still cook sweet potatoes, rice and broccoli. I also eat beans and some nuts. I drink 32oz lemon water and 32oz of celery juice each AM.

I fast for 2-3 weeks quarterly. Water only.

When I am sick for any reason I start fasting immediately.

What has this done for me? My weight is finally where it should be from decades of abuse. Autoimmune conditions and diabetes are under control.

I posted a while back that my sleep was about 2-4 hours nightly. Over the last 5 or so months that has increased to 6 hours a night.

Edit: I drink at least 1 gallon of water per day.
What makes you say that? Traits and type classes don't inherently use either static or dynamic dispatch (Rust and Haskell use both, PureScript uses only dynamic), and both techniques outlined in the blog can be optimised to static dispatch.

> So you're overbuilding nuclear

So are complaining about changing demand or about overbuilding?

> Wouldn't it make sense to take some of that power and make hydrogen or something that can be stored for later peaks?

Yes, you could probably do that if any if those solutions scaled in any meaningful shape or form.

> But of course if you admit these things exist, it kind of puts a big hole in your argument

My argument was that your claim that "demand isn't flat and nuclear can't scale quickly enough to meet the daily peaks and troughs" is a lie.

None of the weird tangent you went off on makes a hole in this argument: nuclear power can scale quickly and is literally used to do that right now.

The fact that it isn't used for something that you want it used for is completely orthogonal to whether it can be scaled or not. For example, no one stores nuclear power in hydrogen or whatever because it's literally not needed because nuclear power can be scaled quickly on demand.

I think this will get easier as the supported context sizes get larger. Of course the tooling needs to take care of most of the drudgery, but I'm not sure there's any underlying limitation of an LLM that makes refactoring existing code any different from creating new code. It's just a matter of feeding it the layout of the repo and the code itself in a way that the LLM can retrieve and focus on the relevant files when you ask it for help with a task.
I have one where I just removed the filter and added some IR led's for my 3d printer cam, that way I don't need visible light and the room can stay dark if I need it to be.
Because some people don't think that the experience of self is a consequence of being made of human meat.

In my experience, C++03 code works just fine without changes on a C++11 and C++14 compilers, so no, it's not at all like Python 2/3. The few features that were ripped out were exactly the stuff that pretty much no-one was using for good reasons (e.g. throw-specifications).

Absent coordinated action by government to reorient economies as these new technologies take over, I fully expect wealth inequality to only get worse and for more and more white collar folks to be left behind. That's just wealth concentrating capitalism in action, which is inevitable when left to its own devices.
