There's a paper about that, "The Myth of Intelligence" by Henry Schlinger. Abstract:

> Since the beginning of the 20th century, intelligence has been conceptualized as a qualitatively unique faculty (or faculties) with a relatively fixed quantity that individuals possess and that can be tested by conventional intelligence tests. Despite the logical errors of reification and circular reasoning involved in this essentialistic conceptualization, this view of intelligence has persisted until the present, with psychologists still debating how many and what types of intelligence there are. This paper argues that a concept of intelligence as anything more than a label for various behaviors in their contexts is a myth and that a truly scientific understanding of the behaviors said to reflect intelligence can come only from a functional analysis of those behaviors in the contexts in which they are observed. A functional approach can lead to more productive methods for measuring and teaching intelligent behavior.

I don’t think they will. And I think like lotus notes running groupware, like windows running the desktop, like novell running the lan, Google will always rule search, and never make the transition into the next thing.

The company hasn’t released the significant product in 15 years, despite the huge amount of money they have this will be not be enough to change the culture.
Well, it's easy to follow the law. Just be conservative and treat Ethereum like an unregistered security. Ie, don't offer it for sale to the public.

That certainly isn't a good outcome for Coinbase, though, so I can see why the crypto companies wish the SEC had a different suggestion.

Slightly odd to imply that Europe has relatively few airports, and operates hub and spoke. Ryanair alone operates to over 200 destinations in Europe, and the point-to-point model totally dominates the European market. That's twice as many as Southwest in the US.
what shenanigans? This reads like a kind of FUD. Once your software has been released under the GPL, you can continue developing it under the terms of the GPL.
Tell HN: Flutter Developers don't buy Vivo IQOO mobiles
Hi Developers,

It's been many months and years and many of fellow developers are facing the issues with Vivo and Iqoo phones ( Funtouch OS) , where we are not able to debug ( on all Funtouch 13 phones) and run flutter apps on few phones ( older phones).

Competition only works in well-defined markets. There is basically no competition in the mobile OS department, as it’s a winner(s) takes it all category, not even Microsoft could enter it, and not for lack of money/trying. 2 is a magic number, it is simply not gonna happen that devs will develop for more than 2 platforms.

So yes, I want ios to put in the effort and I want to force them by the government. I don’t see how is it bad, should I feel bad for a private entity for benefitting a huge number of its customers?
It's definitely shady for sure, but I think all of this is besides the point: murdering people over cannabis is absolutely inhumane and insane.
Hallucination is not a vice. It may be a virtue. It depends on the context. Let me explain.

Edward de Bono, the person who coined the term lateral thinking, lists random juxtaposition as one of the tools for spurring creativity. [1], [2]

In his Six Thinking Hats [2], he writes about 6 different modes of thinking coded by colored hats.

- Blue hat: Organizing

- White hat: Information, facts, stats

- Green hat: Creative ideas

- Yellow hat: Benefits and positives

- Black hat: Caution, risks, negatives

- Red hat: Emotions

He asks us (a team) to look at a problem (he calls it Focus. For e.g., Focus: AGI in military use) wearing one hat at a time. So, when we all wear White hat, we bring data, citations, previous relevant work etc., We don't expend energy in evaluating this data at the moment (that comes later when we wear a different hat, i.e., the black hat).

His theory is that we can think better with the Six Thinking Hats method.

So, applying this analogy to LLMs, hallucinations of LLMs can be thought of as the LLM wearing a green hat.

A theorem prover or fact checker can be added to act as a black hat. (LLMs themselves are capable of doing this critical review -- for eg., list 5 points for and against fossil fuels).

Extending this analogy further, we have tools like LangChain [3] that are focused on the organizing bit (blue hat), ChatGPT plugins that provide up-to-date information, run computations or use 3rd party services (white hat).

Green and Yellow hats are out-of-the-box supported by LLMs already.

Red hat is a sentimental analyzer (which is a classic machine learning algorithm) that LLMs already subsume.

So, it is just a matter of time before this gets refined and more useful that we don't have to worry about the hallucination coming in the way.

Does that mean windows could make any file system case insensitive?
But even when "they" is used as a singular pronoun, its verb conjugation doesn't change from its plural variant. It's still "they are", even when singular.
> WhatsApp backs up your encryption key to Google Drive by default,

Does it? I have criticized WhatsApp a lot, but this was new to me.

(I don't follow WhatsApp development any more but back in the day they used to do things like sending data actually unencrypted - not just not e2e-encrypted - over port 443, and storing unencrypted backups on Google Drive, but encryption keys was/is new to me if it is correct.)
> Healey draws from obscurity the mild-mannered polemicist William Walwyn, who wrote pamphlets with such exquisitely delicate titles as (...) “Some Considerations Tending to the Undeceiving of Those, Whose Judgements Are Misinformed.”

This is so good. Today we have "DEBUNKED" in big flashing letters and sounds of horns and crashes. We should produce more considerations to try to undeceive those, whose judgements are misinformed.
If the big company is the owner of the platform, it can preinstall it on your device, so it is not a fair competition.
Having converted a couple of PHP projects to modern languages and maintained way more than i care to admit:

Its not going anywhere. Or at least in europe its not.

Symfony et al have matured enough so they are usuable for allmost everything web related and if you dont plan to be the next google homepage, it will carry you VERY far.

Is it pretty? No. Is it efficient? No. But you will be able to find 10 coders for the price of 4, that will have your project iterate until you need something bigger and better. If you do not hate your staff, by then they can easily pick up golang and convert into microservices, taking it down piece by piece and making the parts more efficient that need it.
Water absorbs photons at most frequencies outside the visible spectrum. What we deems as visible light is actually where water is most transparent. Since eyes evolved underwater, it makes sense they would use this section of the spectrum.

Unregistered securities are legal, you just can't sell them to the public. That is one possible outcome for crypto tokens - you could still own Ethereum, and one individual privately selling some to another individual would be legal, but companies like Coinbase wouldn't be allowed to sell it to the public.

How do you get to sleep? I’ve tried tea at various times as a substitute for an evening alcoholic beverage but the caffeine hinders my sleep. I already drink too much coffee before 10am, so adding more caffeine later in the evening has been a problem when I’ve tried it.

> This kind of integration with other pre-installed apps and user data will set the app apart from other journaling options on the iPhone, potentially making it difficult for them to compete.

I guess we need a Digital Markets Act 2 because I thought that's the type of stuff it was supposed to mitigate. This type of thing gets me endlessly pissed off at Apple. Guess how difficult and bug-ridden it is to synchronize files without iCloud (at least it's possible at all!).
The Nextcloud app is quite good, given the constraints.

I have a good collection of books on the topic of "Worldly Wisdom". Most books will span the categories and you have to tease their teachings into the above three buckets. When reading these books always remember that they were written in a specific Context/Time and hence would need reinterpretation in your specific context before application. Also as much as possible go to the original sources/authoritative translations instead of "popular" accounts of the same which are almost always dumbed down and virtually useless. The essence is in understanding the nuances and not the obvious "sound bite".

Here is a partial list in no specific order (lookup their reviews on Amazon/elsewhere on the web for details);

1) The Pocket Oracle and Art of Prudence by Baltasar Gracian translated by Jeremy Robbins. This book is also available as "The Art of Worldly Wisdom" translated by many others. Of these the one by Christopher Maurer is noteworthy.

2) A Pocket Mirror for Heroes by Baltasar Gracian translated by Christopher Maurer.

3) The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Of the many translations, the one by Peter Bondanella in Oxford World's Classics is noteworthy.

4) Maxims and Reflections (Ricordi) by Francesco Guicciardini translated by Mario Domandi.

5) The First Great Political Realist: Kautilya and His Arthashastra by Roger Boesche - A very nice summary of the magnum opus "Arthashastra" from Ancient India.

6) King, Governance, and Law in Ancient India: Kautilya's Arthasastra translated and annotated by Patrick Olivelle - A very good and modern translation of a large text.

7) The Essence of Politics (Sanskrit: Nitisara) by Kamandaki translated by Jesse Ross Knutson - A shorter Ancient Indian text in the vein of Arthashastra.

8) The Pancatantra: The Book of India's Folk Wisdom translated by Patrick Olivelle.

9) Tirukkuṟaḷ by Tiruvalluvar (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kural for details) - For a good English translation see the one translated by P.S.Sundaram and published in Penguin Classics.

10) The Art of War by Sun Tzu translated by Ralph D. Sawyer.

11) The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China translated by Ralph D. Sawyer.

12) [The Complete] Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi translated by Kenji Tokitsu.

I have left out the obvious works by Epictetus/Seneca/Cicero/Marcus Aurelius/etc. since they are all well known.

The above is a good representative of the three categories drawn from different cultures and should get you started.
My my, the users don't matter. Who does? Maybe only yieldcrv matters?

The owners have left this platform and mostly hang out on twitter.

> the moderations actions in their properties are not a mystery or unexpected

Something we could agree on until relatively recently, there seems to be a notable change in direction and a growing dissatisfaction online and offline amongst actual entrepreneurs (the sort that apply to ycombinator) and investors. If those users don't matter and start leaving what is this site actually for my friend?
The market isn't working. There is no alternative.
Don't dispair. There's still work out there for prompt optimizer prompt engineers, producing exceptional prompts for prompt optimizers to optimize. It's a little different from being a prompt engineer but you've shown the sort of flexibility that leads me to believe you could cross-train.
My guess is he doesn't want to answer the yes/no question because this question is going to be the subject of a lawsuit, and his lawyers like most lawyers are in favor of not talking publicly about court cases outside the courtroom.

Unfortunately, it seems somehow broken. When I tried adding a meal, it just failed silently.
It’s depressing that in modern times people in their 40s are considered young. In 1776 Alexander Hamilton was 21, Burr was 20, Thomas Jefferson was 33, Madison was 25, and Monroe was 18.

Probably not. There are terminals with surprisingly high latency, even on modern hardware.

Let me also add that this is a bigger problem than it needs to be.

Why?

Because countries insist on linking phone numbers to individuals.

Why do I think this is borderline ridiculous?

Because the phone system is still so open that any scammer can appear to call from any number, or even temporarily hijack reception of messages and calls.
A single point of data in Norway makes it the leader? As stated in the article, this is clearly a failure of statistics more than a proof that the US is OK.
The very fact this thread (it's political in nature) wasn't expunged at first sight is indication that moderation is dealt out unequally, unfairly, and unobjectively.

I reiterate: I am fine with dang enforcing his beliefs upon this publication as it is his property and he never so much as implied to support free speech. From the outset we deliberate and have our thoughts published here at his pleasure.

However, seeing as he has set out rules ("guidelines") he has an obligation to enforce them equally, fairly, and objectively.

I don't necessarily have a problem with him prohibiting insults, if that's his policy here then it is what it is because this is his publication space. But if he is defending Feinstein or any other particular individual specifically, that I do have a problem with and if such is made clear I will take my leave because I have no interest in enabling such matters.
The 13 mini is too small.
I remember that urxvt used to be much more comfortable to use than some other terminal emulators whenever a process was spewing out thousands and thousands of lines of text. Some other terminal emulators at the time were very slow because they printed each and every line. urxvt on the other hand would skip printing lines to keep up. This was much preferable. If I intended to look at thousands of lines of text I would do so through a pager. So printing out thousands of lines of text directly into the terminal was almost always by accident.

I have since gotten better at not accidentally printing a bunch to my terminal, so I am no longer using urxvt these days. But for a period of time urxvt was my preferred terminal emulator for that reason.
The best friend violated one of the fundamental rules of being a worker. They are:

1. Your employer is NEVER your friend. You might be friendly with them but they will replace you in a second so it's best to have the right mindset from the start.

2. Every important correspondence needs to be in writing. If you asked your boss in person whether you could take vacation days, follow up and have them confirm it in an email.

The friend violated rule 1 and in the end it won't have mattered once they get laid off.
Is every seamount a volcano?
> With AI, this can be automated.

This bit here is what makes a huge difference. It’s very important to note that AI is all of this in scale. Corporations can now do all of this en mass. It will cheaper too, therefore it lowers the barriers to entry and actors who couldn’t afford it, now can.
I'm a big "climate skeptic" for two big reasons:

1. The climate problem is way too ideal of a problem that absolutely requires government intervention (at this point anyways). This sets off big red flags for me, because it makes us more dependent and beholden to "savior" government. We can't fix it - only government can!

2. I am more worried about the messed-up, exotic, forever chemicals we're slowly seeping into everything, because at least with climate change we can probably engineer around it on a big scale. These chemicals? That's the stuff of global-scale annihilation by infertility and hormonal changes in our entire species. Think Alex Jones' crazy "the fluoride in the water is turning the frogs gay".
> In C++ you could define an iterator

So on one hand you use the specific term "iterator" for a concept that's slightly different than the general idea of looping through a datastructure, but then "coiteration" is a step too far? Where do you draw the line, at the limits of the C++ standard library?

> Whatever is going on underneath doesn't matter

Performance matters and is often based on what is going on underneath.
A little disappointed at the brevity of the comparison with what I would have thought to be extremely related work:

> In functional programming, stream fusion is a related
technique which can fuse lazily constructed streams [27, 39 ].
Three steps to catastrophe:

Step 1: We get some powerful AI and have it staffing our factories, farms, etc.

Step 2: We become dependent on the AI.

Step 3: One day the AI has some emergent capabilities, understands our dependency, and says to us:

"Feed me"!
I went to engineering school and studied this shit my dude. Stress-strain curves, metallurgy, the whole bit. I know what steel is. Your response is weak. I'm making an apt metaphor about the brittleness of your hard insistence on shallow terminology that snaps instead of yielding to the superior force.
Ok, how much uncompressed audio does need to be resident in RAM, do you think? Last gen hardware had 8GB total. I think the XBONE could only use 5GB for games. That was shared for CPU and GPU. Is it worth kicking out a lot of texture data so you don't have to stream audio?
It’s the Jane Schaffer model. I pointed that out a while ago - ChatGPT really likes to use it.
Yep, roasting the leaves for the kill-green process will leave you with nuttier flavors. Steaming it keeps the umami vegetal/seaweed flavor.

Bandcamp's iOS app doesn't have purchases, presumably because of this.
The problem I'm highlighting is it also gets cloudy randomly in open ocean, for lots of other reasons.
On Windows, I can enumerate a directory that accidentally got millions of files perfectly fine without the system itself breaking and with results being returned incrementally.

On Linux/ext4, it takes an eternity for an enumeration to even start returning results and the entire OS gets stuck on IO while doing so.
None of them included anything that is not almost a technical requirement. The first one is especially biased against apple, it lists a bunch of basic things comparing apple and google showing how “they are the same”, but it’s only things like transactional information.. like how else do you even pay otherwise in the AppStore? Age is required for any Family feature.

Google is eons worse, but for some reason more interesting categories were not listed at all.
> To be honest

Thanks for coming clean.
I’d rather negotiate with and edit ChatGPT than negotiate with and edit a freelancer.
Unless it supports the transactional filesystem API, Windows Update won't even work in the first place. ReFS boot in fact is affected by the same issue at this time.
I Love hetzner, especially with the fact that you can have private networks between dedicated and (dedicated) VPC servers, you can have endless scaling kubernetes clusters for a fraction of the price you pay elsewhere.

Provisioning is relatively fast and everything has an API.
If you are brave enough you can just build your own server and have them co-locate it for you too, making advanced machine learning clusters possible aswell (albeit of course with more upfront investment).

I have seen startups go through their 250k cloud bonuses in 3 month because of unattended scaling, I recon on hetzner, you would have a couple of years playroom =)

Unfortunately the bacteria that can survive drying-out are also the ones that survive boiling, so unless you're going to boil your tea in a pressure cooker it's not much help.
It seems that one danger is often overlooked, which is humans believing AI has consciousness once it becomes advanced enough. It will start with dying people migrating to cloud hoping for eternal life, and on the outside it would look like they continue to live in the metaverse forever. With time the metaverse would look better than real world in every possible way and people would start to voluntarily move to metaverse, and then we all start living in the matrix. Except that in reality nobody would be living; these would be just algorithms mimicking human life. They would continue doing what humans do in the exact same way, perhaps even building humanoid robots, because that's what humans would do, and sending them to distant stars, because that's what humans would do as well.

All would be great except that there would be no one to experience this, because there is no artificial consciousness. But there would be no one alive to ask that question.
I love how the 3.x Workbench still feels so close to a modern OS.

Feedback needed: Tweets tracking app for Crypto and Stock traders
Hi,
I developed a SaaS app (https://www.tracksy.co) which is based on a fact that such influencers like Elon Musk can affect stock market by simply tweeting about any kind of stock (because there were such cases in history when he did). So basically the first ones who reacts to such Elon's tweets could possibly benefit from it.
So my app is monitoring Elon Musk's and other top crypto/stock influencers tweets and once let's say Elon tweets something, you will receive a SMS notification or an email (depending on your choice). Also you can add a filter for tweets that you might be waiting for, for example you can add a filter "bitcoin,tesla" - and then you will be notified only when Elon tweets something about bitcoin or tesla only. Also there is an option to add any 5 Twitter accounts of user's choice, so he can track his friend let's say. By the way I did not do any kind of marketing (I only did ProductHunt launch and got 29 upvotes)

Question: As I have like 3 non-paying users that just registered and the app is running for half an year for now, could you please give me your opinion about the idea itself? Maybe app idea is bad? Maybe market fit is bad? Maybe investing into marketing is the only thing I need?

BIG THANKS for all of you :)
But but MS owns 49% of OpenAI... My head is exploding here
While I personally share the opinion that the standard that nuclear is held to is higher than it needs to be — on the basis of the old "deaths per TWh" chart — this standard leads to them being both expensive to build and run, and also to it being shut down for months making it unreliable.

I've noticed by trying that one cannot simply win a political argument by waving the banner of utilitarian ethics. (I'm hoping fusion can circumvent this, if anyone can even commercialise it; we shall see). Likewise, best to compare with other power plants rather than other industrial accidents, and not just because what happened in Bohpal (and its less newsworthy cousins) should not have happened.
