I was wondering about that too, specifically how ZwCreateFile and other file i/o functions would work. But if they're using a file system filter then it's not an issue. I'm curious where \\Device and \\DosDevices goes, considering Windows device files and their symlinks are there. I guess they just put them in under /?

People are mad about whatever dumb thing Elon did with Twitter this week.

Even when applied to Twitter, the question presents itself:

The only path from "then" to "better" is through "doing lots of stuff, some of it stupid".

Because all the really security focused apps insist on per-device private keys, so everything has to be re-encrypted by everyone per the other users' device. This mitigates key leakage problems to some extent, but also makes the UX as awful as you describe.

I don't understand why nobody (to my knowledge) has yet gone the middle route of having a private key per user. Sure, it's a bit less secure, but it's surely better than users preferring to use un(e2e)encrypted options instead?!
That's been solved long ago.

To know anything (an X) completely you need perfect knowledge. Hence people come up with a set of simplified ways of reasoning about X. They call this a model of X.

Model is incomplete and so primitive, so dumbed down, that we manage to play it forward/backward in our heads or our computers.

If a model checks out with the real outcomes we proudly exclaim that we understand X.

I'm not being sarcastic, that is just a real method we use all the time.

An interpretation that is obvious can be easy to arrive at - but that does not make it correct, only low effort. If the test had not failed then it was not ambitious enough. If they had not pushed the rocket to its current breaking point then they would not have learned as much about it, or its current modes of failure.

Sometimes it is worth looking past the obvious interpretation. I thought the article was a good read, kudos to the author.

Fragment? You mean Telegram's attempt to cash in on the cryptocoin scam, with their own walled-garden system and marketplace where it's currently hovering around $30 to buy a number, when it's genuinely cheaper to just get a Google Voice number or some prepaid burner phone number?

I'm not interpreting the verse, I'm telling you what's there, just read the verse, go through all the various translations. No interpretation necessary. Like I said, Arabic is adequately expressive to just say "fasting is about reminding you poor people are suffering" if that's what the purpose was. No need to equivocate. Even the commentary is secondary to what the verse actually clearly says. If a verse says "God is One", do we really need a commentary to point out where there could be room for 2 Gods?

Currently LLMs cannot construct factories, grow crops, or transport goods. Even if it leads to brilliant inventions that were otherwise impossible before, it takes a while for humans to physically make or do things.

If we're talking japanese green tea, 50C for a very gentle taste、70~80C for a full taste are the basic directions, same as you'll get recommended by the tea makers themselves (an english site [0])

It's easier to build reactors when there are no environmental/safety/security concerns voiced, because those voice end up in prisons. China also builds up its coal power plants with high speed, while knowing that its air is already extremely polluted. Environmental concerns generally don't seem to be a priority. Each reactor built inside the country will heat up or dry the rivers, due to cooling requirements. Such a number of thermal power plants (coal and nuclear) will kill life in these rivers, when they return warm water into the rivers.

Is safety of these reactors also on this level of environmental neglect?

Because these algorithms just imitate specific output for a given input. However, they are so complex, that our brains are not able to distinguish their activity from a real consciousness in any way. If you believe that imitation process can have consciousness, then you might as well believe that a rock is conscious too.

I don't believe in souls, but I do believe in qualia, that is subjective, conscious experience, simply because I experience it (see the hard problem of consciousness on wiki). I do not a second believe that external imitation of any type of activity can generate qualia, because there is not continuity (if one algorithm has consciousness, then slightly less advanced should have it too, then you come to the point when a piece of metal is conscious too, see ship of theseus argument)
The first thing you realise when you start playing with LLMs and want to build a product around it is that you might not need a UI anymore but a text interface might be at the same time easier to build and much more intuitive. In this case the messengers have a big opportunity to become the next big platform. Telegram seems to be the one with the best apis. This shift might even make it possible to create a new messenger app with some LLM app as killer feature. In a way ChatGPT could have been that messenger app.
The most difficult thing, which everyone in all these discussions try to avoid, is that we don’t even have a universally agreed upon definition for the words AGI, consciousness or intelligence. Let’s just agree to define what we’re talking about first before we start arguing about what’s possible or not regarding those undefined terms.
The reason is that at least officially, the Republican Party is in favor of small government. So if the Democrats as the minority party were to say,"Compromise with us or we won't raise the debt ceiling," the Republican Party's response would be a sarcastic, "Oh no! Don't impose drastic spending cuts! Anything but that!" Thus the Democrats have no leverage to hold back a Republican Administration's spending priorities.

PowerShell is the closest of Xerox PARC REPL experience that ships in the box on modern platforms.

Because not only it is a proper programming language, it is integrated into .NET, COM/DLLs as well, so not only you can script the OS, any application automation library is exposed as well.

Nowadays, it is possible to automate anything on Windows via PowerShell, the same OS APIs exposed by GUIs are also accessible to PowerShell.

On UNIX side there are things like Fish shell that also offer these capabilities, but they aren't widely adopted as PowerShell on Windows.

As the foundation, the cornerstone, the most base part of said "Corporate law". Corporations do not exist without some humans behind them.

Those people, officers of corporations, impart the personhood - The Corporation is just an embodiment of the collective action of the officers.

I think having a psychanalyst, fan of Jung and subscribing his 'theories' as a role model, however articulate he is, should be as lauded as having a 'homeopath' as a doctor.

In multiple entities I have worked for over the past 15-20 years, there was a sentiment that we wanted to support the fine folks behind Qt, thus licensed each and every developer seat, to the tune of 4000€. At some point, they started biting the hand that was feeding them: demanded an enterprise-wide usage audit (so we had to involve our Legal team to fend them off), changing the EULA in such a fast pace we couldn‘t keep up, created this forever-keep-paying rule…. Today, at my new employer, I use the LGPL version, like we always could have. No good deed goes unpunished, and I have taken enough battering.

A decade is fine.

While it would be nice if all the required nuclear or storage was installed decades ago, (1) we don't need to do this transition overnight, (2) a decade is on the optimistic side for rolling out new nuclear on this scale so it's not much of an improvement in that regard, and (3) most of the existing power infrastructure can be kept running until the batteries are available, and we get to keep looking at storage supply in the supply is still growing appropriately for the targets.
So you compare a highly detailed state of the art game with gigabytes if proper assets to the 'art' dessert of vr?

It's not a lie, I am obviously not talking about the cost of decommissioning but the costs that keep ticking after the decommissioning has been done.

Rancho seco is an interesting example, it was closed in 1989 and is still costing millions today. "SMUD estimates that it spends roughly $5 million each year to essentially "babysit" the waste, which requires tight security and a small crew to oversee its proper storage”

https://www.sacbee.com/latest-news/article210858009.html"

Also worth noting is that the DoE has paid SMUD over 100 million dollars to date for contract violations (failing to present a storage site for the waste).

The funny thing is that operators book this money as _income_ related to the nuclear plant, when it is in fact costs to the taxpayers.

Also keep in mind of course that if and when SMUD finally gets rid of the waste, that only stops the costs ticking for SMUD, not for the taxpayers.
LLMs are just better machine learning. You use it for the same and more things as it is more capable. The natural language input is not it's value though it's and interesting novelty.

> System applications as in the programs that come pre-installed with a fresh install of MacOS.

This is misleading.

All apps included with macOS are updated via Software Update and don't require a login.

What I think you're referring to are apps you get free with the purchase of a new Mac. This includes the suites previously referred to as iLife and iWork.

These aren't part of macOS, and if you do a clean install they aren't there, but you do get a free copy, via the App Store, with the purchase of a new Mac. The App Store does indeed require a login.
The downside of building in stuff is that you can't easily replace it. I don't have any VMS experience, but the versioned file systems I've studied are very far from being a replacement for what I would consider version control today. They're more like the automatic writing of backup files in Emacs.

Distributed FS sounds like something with a huge design space. It's better to do that in userspace. Was Plan 9 really the first time virtual file systems could be implemented in userspace? It seems like such an obviously useful idea in retrospect.

> To me it shows how fundamental language is to intelligence.

I believe most human intelligence is based on language. We are smart because language gives us the keys to solving all sorts of situations based on the experience of prior generations. We are wondering if GPT architecture can generate real understanding, but forgetting the training corpus. The language corpus is the real magic here. The source and accumulation point of intelligence.

Take a baby and give it access to language, you get a modern human. Take a random init neural net, use language corpus for training, you get GPT4. It doesn't matter what the model is - brain or transformer, it doesn't matter if it's a transformer or just a RNN (RWKV). What matters is the training signal.

We should not get so hung up on the model architecture and substrate when thinking about LLM capabilities. Language is a separate evolutionary system of ideas and concepts. It is a self replicator, like DNA. Language just got a new pathway for self replication with LLMs. Every new token visits the whole model and by extension the distillation of our culture before being emitted.
Well, imagine advanced AI beyond imagination. It is so advanced that it mimicks all of the human activity in exactly the same way. By definition it would be able to do whatever we are doing (and probably better)

Unless you don't believe that such an AI is possible, in which case I wonder if you have tried GPT-4 and whether you remember what chat bots were like 5 years ago!

This of course would be AGI. It would still not be conscious though, but a lot of people would fall victim to it and believe that it is. And that's what will end us. We will not pass the mirror test (yep, this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_test)

Side loading may mean the 99% of people who don't care about privacy will have their preferences indulged, and if side loading becomes the norm then all of a sudden you'll find yourself being asked by your e.g. government or major airline to side load their app because they're tired of dealing with Apple's app store rules.
? Ireland remains in the EU. And it's common to have stricter rules for historical buildings (fair enough, my cottage is over 200 years old) but normally it comes with provisions for supporting maintenance, insurance, etc. Ireland just half-asses it.
It is quite misleading to only focus on deaths due to nuclear accidents. Fukushima may not have (directly) killed anyone, but the cleanup is hideously expensive (estimates say many hundred billion dollars). Containing Chernobyl costed a few percent of Ukraine's pre-war annual budget. So far, roughly one in a hundred power reactors have blown up. If this is priced in, the economics get even less favorable.

No. You’re wrong. You by all accounts appear to be in such a bubble that you can’t comprehend these things meaning less to other people than they do to you.

tbh the journalists have been juicing this one highlighting the explosion.
Whilst it's interesting to imagine every company being run by the most aggressively rent seeking MBA-like AI, I don't think that will ever be the entire market.

I would guess it all comes down to risk. The future won't be uniform, it'll be poorly defused, just like then present.

People will make a value judgement on the types of corporations they want to deal with. The sort of company that no has employees will by necessity have to be very cheap compared to those that provide interactive human service.

Dealing with AI firms will be like dealing with an anonymous Chinese eBay seller. You'll effectively have no legal recourse as such and they won't discuss things but complaining might get you a replacement item or a full refund.

If it doesn't the product will have to be cheap enough to write off as a bad buy.

Let's hope cheap AI powered corps don't suck all the profit out of the market and we loose all firms capable of providing real services.

Or we end up paying for human service that's been quietly outsourced to AI much like we do for many big name manufactured goods.
