We absolutely should end coal as soon as possible, along with oil and natural gas. We should also develop and scale methods for pulling CO2 back out of the atmosphere. Just ending emissions avoids the worst outcomes but still leaves us with a bad outcome. If politicians were not incompetent morons then we could have solved the problem a lot sooner without having to pull CO2 back out of the air, but here we are.

Also, there are some applications, like long-haul jets, that will be very difficult to electrify, and DAC gives us a way to make liquid hydrocarbons for them without any net emissions. Biofuel is another way in theory, but not always in practice, and it takes a lot more land area.
But... FBI arrested them rather than affirming their actions. What should the response have been? Retaliating against China?
Im suggesting the unit tests come first, are made by the coder (maybe with assistance), and the LLM creates the feature code. And the unit tests prove the generated code works or not then you tweak. Like TDD meets LLM
It's definitely something that people overdo. But sometimes, especially with things like terraform, you have to struggle against the DSL to avoid having thousands of lines of repetitive code to do what could done in 100. I'll go quite far to avoid the situation I saw at at previous company, where they had 36k lines of trash to run a few data centers. Deploying a new data center was next to impossible.

> Give me a break. What he did impersonating another artist was wrong.

I agree 100%. It's a bit disturbing that people seem to think it was a lesser wrong just because the victims are wealthy and famous.
They've been pretty good about making some results on the first page be better than competition still, and with niche search features IME.

> Did the article mean to say that Apple has contributed $107m per year since 1998

No, Apple has received $107 million rebated from Cupertino since 1998.

Cupertino has retained (since the rebate is 35% of the total, so the total is 65/35 of the rebate) $198 million since 1998, and initially received $305 million.

But while that is probably increasing over time, not sure where the 73% comes from, as that’s ~$94 million/year.

Hmm… More research:

It’s 73% of sales tax revenue, not total city revenue. Cupertino currently gets $42.1 million per year in sales tax revenue, the deal going away is expected to drop it to $11.4 million per year. (And there are expected to be fines and returns of past funds, on top of that.)

The thing with musicians are that there are so many talented musicians out there who can straight up show up and sight read a complex piece they never played before and put it on a record. Many who will work for free or close to it as a result of this saturation of talent. You could probably go on instagram and book a singer for your work by the afternoon.
> I would assume that a 4-way stop sign would also be preferable, as there's a requirement to stop.

Those seem to be an American thing? They aren't really in use in Germany.

And, in practice, people don't stop at stop signs. So this wouldn't help the original commentor's child survive.
I like the steroid analogy, though Im not sure it's positive. Judging by the state of most recent IPO companies, there seems to be a terrible comedown from those steroids, the business that take them become addicted to them, they're "performance enhancing" by covering up a non existent go to market with "user growth", and the VCs become drug dealers pushing you to take more and get you hooked.

I'd rather consider a traditional business loan with that kind of revenue.

For a cover band sure, but a "tribute show" I associate more with trying to exactly match an experience no longer available (the tribute-ees are dead or aged out in some way).

People aren't going to the Van Halen Tribute Show because they're really excited to see John Smith's creative reinterpretation of Eddie's guitar solos.

> Since the inner nature does affect behavior, that's a non sequitur.

I would say the reverse: we humans exhibit diverse behaviour despite similar inner nature, and likewise clusters of AI with similar nature to each other display diverse behaviour.

So from my point of view, that I can draw clusters — based on similarities of failures — that encompasses both humans and AI, makes it a non sequitur to point to the internal differences.

> The ability to form a coherent - even if novel - theory and an experiment to test it is key to that kind of progress, and it's something these models are fundamentally incapable of doing.

Sure.

But, again, this is something most humans demonstrate they can't get right.

IMO, most people act like science is a list of facts, not a method, and also most people mix up correlation and causation.

She transmitted her messages via radio, which allowed her to skip the messy business of smuggling knitted intelligence out of occupied France.

Most people who are pro-piracy just want noncommercial sharing[0] to be exempted from commercial regulation. The song in question is being sold commercially; it's on a streaming service that pays you per stream.

To put this another way: about a year ago the RIAA went after HitPiece, an NFT scam that was trying to sell NFTs of other people's songs. The amount of cognitive dissonance I had when I realized "I am fully in support of the music labels crushing these guys" was immense.

What you need to take away from this is:

- There are no good guys, so blindly buying into one group is a bad idea. And also even the 'bad guys' might be right once or twice. The RIAA is very much the organization that (legally) stole music from musicians, but that doesn't mean they can't be victims of a crime as well.

- Even your principles and priors might need reevaluation in the light of new evidence. Piracy services were empathetic back when the entertainment industry was dead set on not selling their work through the Internet. They stop being as empathetic when they become profitable entities.

[0] The RIAA's argument back then was that this wasn't really noncommercial because you could just go up the value chain to find someone who had benefited. Sure, you weren't selling the song, but the platform you were sharing it on could sell access to you...
Right, but that's one of the reasons to make it easier to build infill development, which is largely illegal due to zoning, parking minimums, height maximums, etc.

I live on 3.5 acres and have a water treatment system and part of the reason is that there's a shortage of homes I _actually_ wanted, which are decent flats in the city where my kids can bike to school, so they're very expensive.
I have spoken to people in that group and attended some of their events. I hope you will allow the possibility that I know more about the group than their Meetup page says.

For example, the 3.5 miles on Wednesdays is on a track at a local high school. I was literally getting lapped over and over, just like in high school.

It works in pre-interview filtering rounds because companies hiring processes are usually broken and the smartest people are not working on those aspect.

If, on the actual job, you're copy-pasting buggy ChatGPT code, someone will notice. If the other people at the company don't notice and do something about it, the company isn't likely to survive for too long.
While derivatives have certainly been abused and traded recklessly, they aren't inherently bad or reckless. In fact, the first order use for most is to reduce volatility as a hedging mechanism. Selling covered call options to reduce volatility or using a CDS to guard against default risk are normal things that happen all the time, they just don't make headlines because they are common and boring transactions.

Derivatives have uses and risks just like any other financial instrument and need to be well regulated, not demonized.

The USA has no lessons to give to anyone regarding foreign diplomacy. There is no truth behind the idea that China is bad and the USA is the force for good. Both countries want to export their own model of exploitation. Both countries are trying to make the rest of world subservient. Both care about their own interest first and foremost. Both are pretty aweful in their own way. I wish we didn't have to deal with either. Sadly the world is what it is. Non alignment seems wise.

> Cause everyone already had learned how to "touch"-gui, but microsoft in typical arrogance, redesigned it from the bottom up

Microsoft had a fantastic touch UI in Windows Phone 8 imho, but on desktop Windows they managed to botch it hard enough that everyone became allergic to tiles. They simply slapped a random UI with absolutely no thought put into it over the desktop, making it a constant obstacle for users to reach the UI they were used to. The old part of the UI was near unusable on touchscreens, the new one was unintuitive and not self-explanatory at all.

It felt like Microsoft wasn't sure what they actually wanted and couldn't commit to a choice until launch. I can't otherwise explain how they released a UI where the average Windows user needed minutes to find the shutdown button.

Am I the only annoyed with the use of the word "technology" to mean anything computer related? That would be like saying turbulence is "an issue with physics". A hammer is a type of technology too.

I think actually if there's an argument for restricting Drake-alikes, it needs to be said.

From my POV as long as you make it clear it isn't actually him, you should be able to do it. What's next, I can't do a parody of Drake either? Should we ban the Nixon-moonlanding-crash video?

Nobody has a unique voice anyway, I'm sure one of those 8B people sounds a lot like Drake. Does that other guy get to decide what songs Drake sings? Of course not, having a specific set of traits should not give you rights over it.

Does Arnel Pineda, who sounds a heck of a lot like Steve Perry, owe Steve a cut of whatever he makes with the band? (Aside from the fact that obviously there's contracts in place.) He's singing his ass off every time he's on stage, just like Steve did when he was the front man for Journey.

In the end this is an argument for the already powerful to stop the newcomer. There's no reason some dude shouldn't be able to do the same work as some other dude, as long as he doesn't pretend to actually be that other guy.
What a shame. The supermini class cars were awesome.

TailScale is still small. They probably identified that their pricing plan was preventing them from user acquisition and/or they are having pressure from competition and thus are trying to flood the market to become the de facto solution.

It’s a pretty common play for a smaller startup. They just broke the 1B valuation last year. Could be the board pushing the executive team to grow the number of users because happy free tier customers tend to convert to paygo at some non 0% just as paygo customers convert to ENT contracts at some non 0% as personal projects grow into businesses and smaller businesses grow into large ones.
I know nothing about ML, but as far as "maybe human thought isn't Turing complete:"

If you teach a human how a Turing machine works, they are quite capable of simulating it with paper and pencil with a high probability of each step being correct.

If you give several humans the same problem and have them work through it, keeping track of their work, then you can find points of divergence and go with the majority solution, then recalculate starting from the divergence.

Prior to electronic computers, groups of humans using pencil, paper, reference-tables (that themselves had been hand-calculated by humans), and slide-rules worked this way to get accurate answers to arbitrarily difficult computations.

That is to say that while individual humans might arguably not be Turing complete, groups of humans, with the right manipulatives, are limited only by storage, so are as Turing complete as any general-purpose electronic computer.

Given that these recent language models are both non-deterministic, and significantly more human-like in the mistakes they make, I see no reason why similar techniques could not be used, given proper training. It does seem rather inefficient, since for problems in which a well-defined algorithm exists we can already program a computer to do it far better than I suspect any LLM would do.
At the Christmas outage, they had crews and aircraft in the same location and still weren't able to operate them because their system didn't believe they were in that location, and they had too few staff centrally to update the system with that information via phone.

This really is a massive management failure. They couldn't re-route crews and aircraft, they couldn't consolidate ones that were already in the same location, and they couldn't fix it because they under-staffed to an absurd degree.

Better technology would have helped a ton. But that isn't, to me, the story here. This is an epic mismanagement story that may ultimately kill Southwest. They cost cut technology for years, then cost cut away their backup staff too.
Someone made a scarcity-reduction machine and my industry of commodifying sound waves will be harmed, let's shame anyone who engages in the reduction of scarcity so we can keep our copywritten sound waves at a high market value.
I think that Penrose basically thinks it's useful that humans can heuristically step up from a logic system S to S+"statement X is true" in an almost-grounded way, but in reality we are all actually constrained by Godel, Tarski, etc. We just trick ourselves into assuming we can inductively keep stepping up from S+"X is true" indefinitely for any practical problem we encounter, but that is actually an ungrounded assumption.

What seems like an even better formal solution is something like logical induction[0] that works over something like probabilities instead of truth/falsehood. It has an existence proof but not a constructive formalization, afaik, but maybe some recent progress has been made.

Reroom AI: Test interior design ideas and styles before hiring a designer
The really tragic part of this whole affair is that the design for Ariane 6 wasn't finalized until 2016 - after Falcon 9 landed for the first time.

At the time, ArianeGroup (particularly Stéphane Israël) shrugged it off as irrelevant; such a position has since been shown to be foolhardy - to the extent that the designs for Ariane 7 looks like a methane powered semi-clone of Falcon 9.

In practical terms, ArianeGroup lost an entire design cycle due to bad decision making. When the next Ariane is done it'll have to compete in a world with not just Falcon 9, but 2-4 of Starship (SpaceX), Neutron (Rocket Lab), Terran R (Relativity), and New Glenn (Blue Origin).

My take is the opposite. DRY can be overused, but it is much easier to “undry”, than it is to consolidate duplicate code which should have been dry from the beginning. Sections of duplicate code tend to drift apart over time, making it more difficult to consolidate down the road.
There's been a new media for music every ten years for the past fifty or so. Records, cassette's, CD's, mp3's, streaming. I've been doing the thought exercise with some of my more creative and/or musically oriented friends recently to try to determine what comes next (if anything).

The only conclusion we're able to come to is some kind of procedurally-generated music that is more specifically catered to each listener. I'm not surprised this wave is starting to break and it's a great time for artists and legal teams to figure out how to work with this technology if there's any possible way to do so.
