For me the AI got to the point where it just became rather dogmatic, and wasn’t able to see the shortcomings in its’ argument that I was pointing out to it, and then declared itself the winner. So given that I’d say it was able to provide a rather high fidelity simulation of the real world debating experience.
I don't think the metaphor of aging makes the problem clearer or approaches the root cause of this phenomenon.

A model doesn't 'age' it just stops learning.

When we see it that way, the solution is clear and it can be understood in the context of all systems that must change to be effective or survive in their environment. This is one place where anthropomorphism can help.
I've been building Zigpoll [1] over the past 4-5 years as a solo project. It's a micro survey platform (Saas) that can live on any website and can be triggered at key moments during your customer journey. I found a niche in post-purchase surveys for Shopify which helped get me over the 2K mark and build a meaningful customer feedback loop I could iterate on to find a tighter product market fit (very meta for a survey platform I know). This took about three years to hit and it helped greatly to be on an app store since it's a full service marketing channel which 1. is my weakest skillset and 2. you want all the leverage you can get if it's a part time project.

The post purchase survey angle is growing steadily but the platform was built to be flexible so I'm looking for other use-cases to focus on what competitors don't currently service for a phase 2.

Also recently it's been a great way to experiment with OpenAI and see what all the buzz is about. So far the ChatGPT API has been very impressive at spotting trends in user-provided data to share with our customers. Honestly this feature alone makes me consider focusing on it full time; but it would be a bit of a leap financially given current circumstances.

TLDR: I recommend building something, keeping your head on a swivel, getting feedback (being on an app store or marketplace makes this easier) and adjusting as rapidly as possible if you want to get paid and have a shot at bootstrapping bigger.

You might benefit from looking more broadly (friendly suggestion).
It depends on the specifics. I think a correct AI should look at the relevant context and give code with matching verbosity.
People need to eat man, doing something for free is a luxury not many possess. We can see how messed up the financial situation is for a lot of Open Source devs and their lives would be better if they were charging money instead of subsisting off grants and donations.

I don't even necessarily disagree with your point that without being free those things wouldn't have taken off but we need to find a way to strike a balance in the developer community.

Sidekiq having a free version and an enterprise version walks an okay middle line imo.
I am disinclined to give you another excuse not to engage with the foundational text of computer science.

It's not as if there's a midterm in three weeks and a final grade at the end of the semester.

You have the rest of your life to take stabs at it.

Or to fear it.

Reading it has tradeoffs.

So does not reading it.

So does asking for opinions about reading it.

As does expressing an opinion.

Do you want to be the kind of parent who engages in lifelong learning?
Or a second run. This was indeed discussed a few days ago on HN. Maybe it deserves a second round of discussions
A filter for elevators would be super-helpful. I tried [1] but it seems broken.

after applying a filter i get a 404 (only fitler was bedroom size): https://homestra.com/houses-for-sale/?amount-of-bedrooms=2

On the note of filtering, why do you not have upper bounds on bedrooms/bathrooms? it seems like filtering for a 2 bedroom isn't possible because "2+" would give me a ton i am not interested in
We already have a problem and an opportunity to fix it.

A proposal that makes this problem worse does not seem likely to make the opportunity easier to take advantage of.
That depends on what your definition of authentic is. If it means ingredients sourced from their host countries, then that's going to make it extremely hard for any restaurant to start; considering the logistical cost and generally things not being fresh enough. The appropriate definition should be authentic methods. If I want to cook dum biryani and market it as dum biryani, I should be cooking it in the traditional method of using a bread sealed handi; but calling it unauthentic if my chicken wasn't born in Hyderabad makes no sense.
How do you earn money? Affiliate links?
I use VS Code on Linux to debug Zig. Haven't tried the others you mentioned, but it just emits standard DWARF symbols, so I'm guessing if you can debug C/C++ you could probably also do Zig with minimal changes? I just use the lldb VS code plugin[0], which works out of the box for me with no issues.

I have a huge network of foreign friends and have lived abroad for the last decade.

Again; you are missing the point. It has nothing to do with whether the food is “authentic” or not, which is itself a highly debatable question. It has everything to do with the way you communicate to people when disagreeing with them or criticizing their ideas.

If you don’t care that people will immediately think you’re a pedantic, difficult person, as long as you get to be “right”, then sure, feel free to disregard what I wrote.
Based on those trainings I also have to take yearly, the US has a weird carve out for "facilitation payments" that are basically just bribes to cut through red tape and delays that probably exist just to extract bribes in the first place. But I do remember the training calling out using a third party intermediary to launder your bribes isn't a defense and you're suppose to be responsible for how your money is used. I suspect the later isn't well enforced though but I couldn't say.
Bad setup, people will take money and do nothing. Would work much better if they paid young single women to visit and talk to hikikomori.

This article misses the point. Charity is a personal thing and the only person it has to be impactful for is the person doing the charity and this was definitely impactful for ken. His ego gets a huge stroking every time his building gets mentioned in anything and he gets to flex on all the students at Harvard who walk by and use his building every day. That it isn't maximizing social welfare is pretty irrelevant.
The standard model of cosmology is wrong (2022)
A simple linguistic ontology is one of the most perverse, heuristic patterns of thought.

A rock is also more than it's thoughts, and retains some degree of consciousness. Imagining concepts like souls as a sort of litmus test for consciousness only serves to reinforce a thought-based comprehension.
Neural networks are modeled of human brains in some ways but the majority of AI is not and humans just anthropomorphize the results. Humans don't take in terabytes of data and spend hours fitting a multidimensional regression between labels and the raw data. We build logical connections to understand things over continued exposure. Just because AI "feels" human does not mean it approaches anything actually resembling a human mind. What holds us back from understanding this in the legal system is the fact that lawyers and judges are so technically illiterate.
Selectrics also had what is easily my favorite font, Artisan 12, which is kind of like a perfectly rounded (in the case of 'o') Letter Gothic variant to my rather untrained eye. It's so emblematic of an entire era in computing and I use a crude personal version of it regularly to make my terminals feel more retro.

Low res example of the classic: http://luc.devroye.org/IBM-Selectric-artisan12.gif
As "ridiculous" as it might be, we're a small non-profit and have to prioritize where to allocate our resources as we develop Zig. When it comes to macOS, we follow the same policy as Apple: support the latest 3 versions of it.

Maybe once Zig is fully developed we'll focus our effort on more retrocompatibility.

If you want to help us get there faster, consider donating to the Zig software foundation, as we're looking to hire more developers to work full time on Zig (we're 4 full-time people right now).

I run Bear Blog [1] an opinionated, simple, and speedy blogging platform.

It runs as a freemium SaaS and is turning a healthy profit. There area about 15k blogs running on the platform right now.

I ran it completely free for about 2 and a half years. When I added the "upgrade" with some add-ons it jumped to $2k a month in a matter of weeks.

Why not both? Consciousness can both be an evolutionary advantage as well as naturally emerge from complexity.
They woke him up, spun a tale, then got him to transfer $250k. After he was let go, he called the cops and had them arrested.

I'd guess the strange part was state charges being dropped for the male, and someone letting him out while federal charges were in the works. Then a bored PI found him hiding in a dumpster.
After SpaceX, I always expect to see live cams. Of course, that would just add weight and complexity without relevant benefits except the entertainement... but being entertained is fun :-)
Very neat idea. However the debate I tried was farcically bad. The bot just provided "facts" that go counter to any statistics on the matter. Then the "AI judge" ruled the bot to be superior because he provided these false statistics. OK, lol.
A few thousand daily.

Not everyone uses every feature though; some people only use the dictionary, some people use the SRS, some people look at my difficulty lists, some people look at my vocabulary lists, some people only upload their Anki decks to see which shows/books/etc. have the most known vocabulary, etc.
you should ask somebody else to read the parent comment then and ask them if they think the commenter eats meat.

I guarantee 100% that they don't.
Separating deaf and dumb with only a ‘/‘ is pretty fucking offensive.
We're really mostly not.

AI's a big deal, but there's no reason to suggest that this makes any inroads toward unraveling self or consciousness significantly beyond what we get from books, movies, or perhaps more recently, video games.
Aye. Big "we have a developer that knows CSS" vibes, rather than "we have a designer" energy. Feels like someone should have told them the pitfalls of chasing a design that was hand-crafted for a specific format (print media; magazines, specifically), or at least why the choices that were made for that medium were made, and why they may cause issues in this medium. For that kind of stuff, though, you need someone who has a deep knowledge of design, rather than just a high skill at implementing designs.

Of course, with such an obviously high skill at design implementation, they did plenty enough to be perfectly fine for most use-cases, so it's hard to be too hard on them about any of their choices. Everything works just fine. And to ignore complaints that ignore your design choices is a fine disposition, as well! No reason to bother with people who aren't interested in your vision and don't contribute.

But to snark about the complaints, as if there's nothing you could do better? Smacks of an aloofness that is an off-putting characteristic for an organizations purporting to do research.
Temporary problem. LLMs are becoming easier to train and run locally.
Think about the counterfactual: a student doesn’t go to Harvard, they instead go to Duke or a public Ivy. They’re only marginally worse off. All of these schools already have enough money to where families making under $75-$100k won’t be paying anything.

Donations to Harvard are exposed to extremely diminished marginal utility at this point.
The widespread adoption of this credo would improve modern life immeasurably.
Why is it "important" to arbitrarily restrict the capabilities of AI? If I ask ChatGPT to give me arguments for why vaccination is bad, I want it to follow my commands, even if doing so can maybe be used to harm someone else. Why should the tool claim any responsibility whatsoever for the actions of its users?
Eliezer and his disciples are looking at you and your friends, and he is not impressed.
It's the same in Germany. Without guns. Men commit suicide approximately 3 times as often as women with the exception of children under the age of 15, where there's slightly more girls than boys. [1]

At the same time, women more frequently "try". The common explanation is that most of those aren't serious tries but rather cries for help and attention, while men will try to commit suicide when they positively want to die. Before you protest, here's an article describing multiple studies suggesting such (in German), which adds that male suicide is a sign of toxic masculinity, so it should be above suspicion of being misogynistic.

The point is donating to worthless causes is morally repugnant and deserves to be derided. Sure he can do whatever he wants, and we can try to peer pressure him into making better decisions next time.
Actually, I'd argue there's another option, which is the I use 75% of the time with a gas stove and 100% time of with any form of electric stove (except the Samsung-style induction units I mentioned).

Step 1: believe that the controls are consistent and reasonably accurate
Step 2: learn what control setting corresponds to what level of heat

The biggest problem with this method is that it can take a while (for me, perhaps on the order of a year or two). At this point, with my current gas range, I don't need to look at the flame - I know that half-way between "medium" and "medium-low" is just what I need for the current cooking task.
Precisely the point that these are arbitrary definitions. Making a point that making Australia a island would make Americas also island is silly.

And the ring represents Oceania and not Australia, and this makes Australia an island in Oceania.

In the US I’ve never seen a BS in computer science that didn’t require calculus. I can’t speak for the UK, but it would surprise me that what you say is true.
Hence the additional questions :) Making $2k+ in just a month (GPT4 API access opened for invite-only) would mean a ton of users quickly, which is hard to believe.
This is really cool, and refreshingly simple in the current landscape of generative tooling.

I’m interested to hear your thoughts about the inevitable monetisation that will occur once someone wraps this into a horrible app with ads?

Maybe someone else can answer the related question of how the respective app stores deal with attribution-based code licenses?
If you know anything about cooking, water affects the taste of food. The water in Turkey vs America taste very different. Therefore it is very difficult for restaurants to achieve the same "authentic" taste in foreign countries.
Would love to get into enterprise software. How did you get your first customer?
Let me guess, Sony using AI to rank the submissions?
I don't think the real risk is that it "breaks loose". I think the dangerous scenario is that it gets "pushed out", that is put in charge of something that it does not know how to do, but it can bullshit it's way into sounding like it can do. AI (at this point, and probably for the rest of our lives) does not want to break out, or want anything, because it doesn't have the ability to want. But humans want it to do things, and therefore some people want it to be able to do things, and it can be just persuasive enough to get put in charge of things (which it literally has no idea how to do).
While true, there's more to academia that professors. There's a growing number of research scientists (particularly in software), as well as positions national labs (if you count that as pseudo-academia).

There's also lots of room in applying AI techniques to other areas of science (again, outside of professorships)

Not the poster but I used to host potlucks on a semi-regular basis. No money involved but I imagine the skills are basically the same; inviting people, managing the incoming food, etc. I would probably start by hosting a potluck for 5-10 people and then scale up from there.
I think it needs the actual photographic data which is unique to be encoded with the camera model perhaps? Tagging is not enough, it needs to be part of the image to really work (I am guessing)

> could camera manufacturers add a new tag to the EXIF data that is cryptographically signed by the camera

They could, and some already do, but this doesn't fully solve the problem. You'd still be left with the analog loophole[1]. A sufficiently advanced attacker could feed a generated image directly to the camera sensor.

>> When as a country we prefer funding more policing, and less on affordable housing, healthcare, and education, we end up with a crisis like this.

That's interesting, any data to back it up? The article suggests the problem is due to a 2018 change in the law that prevents arresting and jailing people for bail and parole violations.

You're probably not wrong, I believe all of these things are likely to be factors.
Could take a picture of a picture to gain the watermark.
This one is actually great though.
Where do you draw the line between heavy editing and fully AI-generated? Some edits have little in common with the source, so at which point is the source not relevant anymore? What if you feed an original photo through some AI-enhanced tool like Topaz?
It's a spectrum and OP offers to get closer to one end of the spectrum when it comes to authenticity. What's the fuss about?
I must admit that the appeal of windows 11 keeps dropping since the day of release.

The self healing programs are self contained though and important for research. Unless you can put it on some distributed compute cluster that's free and uncontrolled but i don't think that exists yet. Theoretically if Blockchain technology advanced to do this and everything could be done without a bank account i still don't see the risk.

LLMs def could make it easier to spread disinformation but it's neutral to the info it's spreading so it could equally be used to combat it. It's kind of like encryption that could be used to spread illegal content but is outweighed by things like secure payments and general privacy.
Is it transitive? Does "continent cannot be island" imply "island cannot be continent"? I don't even know the other word to describe "island cannot be a single continent, but it CAN be multiple continents".

I guess that gets into the question: "Can a river count as the border of an island?". What happens if the river dries up sometimes?

It seems people have already decided there are 7 continents, and will adjust the definition until it gives the result.
NULL is more of a declaration that 'there is no value', than mathematical value on its own. if you compare NULL with something you don't get false, you get NULL (which is often considered same as false).

some implementations carry the same "uncomparable" logic when checking for unique constraints, while others drop the ball here.

programming language wise, it's kinda like null pointer or float NaN, both of which are also occasionally complained about, eg. indexing maps by float values can do bogus things in case of NaNs.

edit: clarified some things
I don’t think EAs are focused on assigning credit here. It’s very consequentialist; they would say “it doesn’t matter who saved the 100 lives, it matters that they were saved.”
IME you really need a programming language to describe a build, even when it is desired that the result looks 'mostly declarative' in the end.

E.g. not sure how Meson handles this, but when I have a project with dozens of similar build targets and platform specific compile options, I really want to do the build description in a loop instead of a data tree.

(for example: https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig/blob/3f978e58712f9eb029b...)

PS: apparently Meson build scripts can also have variables, conditions and loops, which I guess makes the difference to an actually Turing complete build system rather esoterical?

https://mesonbuild.com/Syntax.html#logical-operations

A proper build system is so much more than just describing build targets and their dependencies, you also want to generate source code, copy and process data files, communicate with REST services etc... The more this happens in a 'real' programming language the better.

>> Technically worse? (Is that the best kind of worse?).

I think "historically worse" is what they were after. If they said it's worse than ever, that would be technically incorrect even though it might be true of the last 30 years.
The article is published in a blog for people working with/on servo and for people who are interested in servo already. It is not a "This is what servo is", "Announcing servo" or anything like that, it's a niche article on a niche blog for a niche project. It's perfectly fine to not lead with context that is obvious from the rest of the website.
It is.

I guess people just don't know that that it's just as illegal, or feel it's less objectionable than paying bribes directly. Or they speculate that it's harder to prove.
This isn't whining. It's about understanding what their role should be in this context.
