I'm literally having ChatGPT write articles using the Python API and a simple loop right now, lol. Incredibly cheap. About $5 for 2,000. Honestly, it does a way better job than the people I've tried to hire through Upwork and other places.

If they can't afford it, it means that they are charging less than GPT4 and they can compeat in price.
It was never just about the Abrams it was mostly about unleashing Leopard tanks from other NATO countries (in addition to Challenger 2). Although the number of Leopard tanks sent by Germany so far is pretty small (18/88 promised) combined with 8 from Canada and 10 from Spain. There's about 2000 floating around Europe total. Still it was a big step forward.

The Abrams is powerful but it's expensive and logistically difficult to operate with jet fuel and trailing supply vehicles designed for a modern American army.

I'm most interested in the hundreds of Bradley's and other IFVs showing up.
QWidgets look and act like a desktop application. QML looks and acts like a touch screen application. The two use cases are very different. A touch screen application doesn't work well on a keyboard/mouse environment. A keyboard/mouse application doesn't work well on a touch screen.
>The benefit of improved space travel and all that comes with that.

Can't you have that with a more appropriate launch site? I don't even understand this argument where anytime anything critical about space travel is mentioned, the response is, essentially, "but space travel!!!"
Well I think that its hallucinations are a good demonstration that none of the post-truth subjectivist philosophies were ever things that many people took very seriously. ChatGPT is the real thing as it relates to extreme relativism: it really cannot tell the difference between true and false and doesn't really care, either. By contrast, the apostles of post-truth were really only trolling for a response... no one really lives by its principles because it's so impractical and disastrous. To really believe in post-truth, you must perceive no difference between raisin bran with cyanide and raisin bran.
This. We got to high on our own history lessons learned medicine in the west. Thinking that anybody shared that sentiment.

For all those other regions on the planet, the Great game never ended and is in full swing ever after. For them the WorldWars were a colonial power internal affair, and now its "our turn to become the king of the hill of skulls". The history and injustices of 2 worldwars is just a justification to go into battle for them.

Its bleak, but our reality altering screams never penetrated that mindset.
Mass editing memory in a transformer
I strongly agree with this, with one caveat: there are a few modules that are GPL and not LGPL. Definitely check the module licenses to make sure you're not going to need anything that is GPL. Most likely you won't.

On an unrelated note, as someone who mainly builds desktop tools and has used Qt for many many years, but would like to get away from C++ for UI logic, I can't see any reasonable alternative, but would love for some suggestions.

Qt just makes so many things easy, and basically every use-case is well-explored. Most other options seem to just focus on making easy things easy. As soon as you want to render something in 3D, make a node editor, call into or share data with C++ libraries, implement a reasonable undo/redo system, re-skin the UI to not look like a children's app, etc, other options fall flat.
A single durable update is the worst case for a classic B-tree with no WAL, though, and where the classic LSM-tree has the advantage. You can't use it to show a consistent write advantage to LSM-trees, except in applications that only do those kinds of updates.

If you write (say) 1000 small, contiguous rows in a single transaction, the B-tree wins. The B-tree writes a few full leaf pages and then updates just enough interior pages to point to them. The LSM-tree writes the rows to the first level, then later will write them again to the second level, then to the third layer, then... N times for N levels. The data also has to be read N-1 times.

At (say) 100,000 contiguous rows in a single transaction, the classic LSM-tree is still poor, but a modern LSM-tree with multiple files in the bulk level, with special handling of bulk loads to bypass the levels and write directly to the logical-middle in the bulk level, is similar I/O performance to the B-tree, so it catches up. I think RocksDB has this but you have to request it explicitly, rather than it detecting when to do so automatically. Probably with lower layout discontiguity if it works by writing to files or large contiguous zones. But if we are comparing LSM-tree with modification for bulk loads, we may as well compare with B-tree with a similar modification, which can also use a zone strategy to reduce discontiguity on bulk loads.
Omg, no pytorch/wsl/conda hiccups... This could save me some sleepless nights

I would posit that no one knows what a mind even is, which makes direct analogy problematic. The experience of having mind is a self-reinforcing construct, because it's biologically favorable to have a narrative, so that "fact" of self-experience isn't very objective. Whatever is experienced by an artificial system is going to be utterly, completely alien - and we don't have too much better of an idea of the complex dynamics inside the largest models, although the best scientists are working as fast as they can. The science of emergence is still extremely new, with many unexpected applications, new ones cropping up constantly.
> if they just wrote their own essays.

Which some significant part of the college student body is not willing to. Having the option to do something without the will to do so is practically equivalent to not being able to.

The kind of people who would look for someone to write their essays is also very likely to opt for the lowest friction method, and chatGPT is obviously that. The article mentions that low word count easier answers are where he primarily felt a hit, and chatGPT would be good at those.
> How this plays out is a good question.

Look into what happened to Japanese wood printers around the time of the industrial revolution over there. It was a many layer apprenticeship system where everyone had a separate job - the bottom layer, mostly children, would make prints for candy wrappers and such until you get to the top - the masters which dealt with the most valuable and skilled work.

The lowest layers got cut, replaced by machines, and the entire structure eventually toppled. Including the work that couldn't be done by a machine - it was simply not requested anymore or there wasn't enough people coming from below to fill the ranks.

It's somewhat doubtful whether software engineers will feel the same both, because of the actual impact AI and that the job itself IS automation by nature. There could be political factors, however, that could skew things otherwise.
To paint a rough and ready picture, aviation emissions are very heavily weighted towards richer, less populous countries, whereas electricity generation (and particularly fossil fuel generation) is (to a lesser degree) tilted towards where the mass of population is: https://ourworldindata.org/carbon-footprint-flying#:~:text=W... vs https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/carbon-intensity-electric.... Note that the colour axis is a log scale. It's a compounding effect: more people => more energy; poorer => worse emissions and fewer flights per capita.

I thought I must have slipped a power of 10 too somewhere but if I did I can't spot it.
Worth noting: Lots of retail store openings & closings happen every week. If this one didn't have a "Portland" hot button attached to it, it would have less-than-zero news value at the national and probably state levels.
You can buy new boards, cases, and components to make most of a C-64.

I think there are just two chips that have to be replaced with drop-in FPGAs: the SID, and I think the CIAs.

Unlike today's machines, 8-bits were usually made with mostly off-the-shelf parts.
Morality is biologically and sociologically constructed. It's not consistent between people, social cliques, regions, or nations. It's a nebulous concept. And unlike, say, our understanding of disease processes, which may be fuzzy and inexact at times but has an external truth we can hope to discover, there is no ground truth that we are approaching in moral philosophy. There is no platonic morality that we approximate with our muddled intuitions. Morality is nothing more or less than those muddled intuitions. It cannot be distilled to cold logic.

What AI might enable however is a superior form of democratic process, wherein an AI surveys the entire population through a natural language interface and synthesizes the nuanced and conflicting desires of the entire society. This deliberative democracy process would ameliorate the distorting effects of campaign funding and issues like uninformed or misinformed voters and low voter participation. It could also allow a sort of citizen feedback line-by-line on proposed legislation and government action.
If the hallucinations are random, how about generating multiple answers, and then checking whether they all agree on key points?

I’ve stayed in places of the grid before in Asia. No gas stations for miles around, but they would have solar panels or a water wheel out back for electricity, if not very reliable. I imagine EVs would be even better for such places, just charge them via some local renewable, the battery deals with the unreliability of the source.
Funny you mention Jeep - in the early aughts the same manufacturer who made the M-Class in Europe also made Grand Cherokees (Magna Steyr)

There are two important factors you are not considering.

The first is that it takes a long time train soldiers on complex weapon systems and the entire logistical supply chain required to support and maintain those weapon systems. Giving someone a weapon system without this makes the weapon system nigh useless to them. Look at how long it takes for American soldiers to become rated on new weapon systems.

The second is that weapon systems are designed to fit a specific war doctrine. Most weapon systems will have greatly degraded effectiveness deployed outside of the context in which they were intended to be used. US builds weapons for the way the US expects to fight. One of the reasons there is a shortage of artillery and related munitions, which is critical in Ukrainian doctrine, is that the US and many other NATO countries don't need much artillery and therefore don't have much of it nor the ability to manufacture vast quantities. And it is not feasible for Ukraine to radically change their war doctrine at this point such that NATO weapons would be more fit for purpose, it requires years of preparation to do this.

Basically, the US but more broadly NATO can't easily supply a war that is being fought the way the Ukrainians are fighting it because their militaries are not equipped to fight a war that way.
It's just 2h off Germany. There's at least a good overlap in peak demand with EU I'd assume.
would this need some special treatment for SEO?
If only, the creators of AI tech are already course correcting to give it agency so that it’s able to take more measured positions, which in some cases will mean that it will doubt itself more rather than giving you a wrong answer, and in other cases will mean that it won’t be jailbroken into opening the pod bay doors…
> It's great, but I've always wanted a brand-new faithful recreation of something like an 800 or C64.

I'm fairly sure a full array of replacement parts are available for the C64, from the keycaps all the way down to the PCB. You could build a new one for yourself, theoretically (except for the 6502, etc.). I think one of the Commander X16 guys (not the balding white guy, the vaguely European guy) has done something like this.

Maximum heating power in my 2015 Tesla Model S 70D is 6 kW. Travelling for 100 km at 100 km/h costs about 25 kWh. I drive in shirtsleeves and barefoot in the Norwegian mountains at -20⁰C and the heater doesn't seem to be running hard. So unless you are traveling in severe arctic conditions the heater really isn't more than a few percent of the load.

Teslabjørn has a video where he turned his Model X into a sauna getting 40⁰C inside while it was -10⁰C outside.

The most valuable things I have learned have been from seeing how folks with relationship management gifts handle relationships. Lots of strategic (building relationships over time in a truthful authentic to the person way) and tactical (handling the interactive dynamic of a meeting or conversation to arrive at a good place for all) lessons. Especially now as the robots grow in technical capability, relationships are singularly most important. Watching true geniuses at work here has been most impactful for me.

Can anyone shed light on what the weapons would be?

I imagine it could be used to make unlimited hacking attempts on websites and industrial control systems (power grids). Could be used for propaganda also. Are those what everyone is worried about or is there much more to it I'm not considering?
I would agree, but I think it's worth checking out one of Siver's postgres repos where I thought he tested things pretty well[0]. Also things like Postgres are often run as a "server" on local dev or CI but could easily be run more ephemerally[1]. That should help with testing various states and behavior of the database.

I still would actually follow what you said thought because often times places which rely on stored procedures are, as you say, ruled by developers with the database access to manage those procedures and from what I've seen often do not have anything close to a reproducible setup. Besides the fact that often it's some proprietary database which is much more difficult to run locally than sqlite3 or PostgreSQL.

Still I keep that separate from considering if views/stored procedures are actually a good solution. I think sometimes it really is. Honestly Sivers' experiments really convinced me of that.

Everyone downvoting this should be completely ashamed of themselves.

This isn't reddit - we strive for a higher level of discourse here. "Upvotes / downvotes" mean "good contribution to the discussion / not good, ad hominem, rude, etc." And the above comment is an excellent contribution.

I want someone who actually has a good grasp of foreign policy, strategy, wargaming, geopolitics, etc. to answer this. I too want to understand how America arming and training a Ukrainian man to fight Russia is so strategically/diplomatically different from an American man fighting Russia. The degree of indirection seems so minor, how is it so different from direct engagement? Why/how does Russia/U.S. not treat it like direct engagement? I don't understand.

"Okay chatGPT, generate me a generic rant about US foreign policy"
Moral of the story: before one makes a strong claim such as "there isn't any evidence a model can do X", it's often worth making a minimal effort to investigate one's own claim.

Do you think this was a strong refutation ? I just flipped a coin for fun and also got 3/4 correct.

I understand your point, but I mean, something that's intelligent really should've got the second question in that test correct.
Weird how you project that others are doing things under the basis of faith, but "move fast and break things" somehow isn't. Totally defies common sense and all principles of reasonableness.
> Emacs is the only CLI program I've ever run that would take a second or two to render when quickly switching tmux panes. I'll never get the "use emacs for everything" mantra.

If you were using tmux, you weren't using emacs for everything!

Emacs for everything also includes replacing terminal with eshell/eat and eventually even frequently curses applications with emacs variations.
31 tanks will not make a difference in a war where Russia lost more than 3000 tanks in a year. US has thousands of unused Abrams in storage. Time for the Biden administration to step up for real.

The problem is how those essays are graded. In some cases the teacher just count the number of pages and skim the text.

One of my friends once submitted an essay where the introduction and the conclusions were coherent, but all the text in the middle was just unrelated garbage. It's an extreme case, but in many cases if the extremes and the subtitles are fine, the quality of the middle is not so important.

It's a hard problem because we assume based upon our materialistic view that is's an emerging factor of our brain.

Yet in our experience it's the essence of who we are.

So based upon our Western view of the world it's merely a side effect.

Based upon our experience it's the core factor of our being. Without experience there is nothing experienced there is meaning without it.

That's the misalignment most people are struggling with.
> Should we (by we, I mean the rest of the world) just let them annex whatever land they want

Although there are specific, genuine concerns mixed into that anti-intellectualism sometimes: e.g. regarding political indoctrination through education.

I used to find such arguments patently ridiculous myself, until a very recent HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35488772.

The political slant in those EXAM QUESTIONS appears completely absurd to me-- its basically on a "full points only if you call the californians hypocrites"-level (and thats not even hyperbole), and if that is what an exam is allowed to look like I don't even want to know how much overt preaching happens in the lectures.

An opinionated professor is fine, possibly entertaining even, and being exposed to conflicting viewpoints is valuable in itself, but THAT went WAY beyound any reasonable bounds.
