Functioning autonomously is not the level needed to free up people.

If your department gets a bunch of entry-level hires or interns, that frees up people in your organization even if they make mistakes, require supervision and can't function autonomously. Similarly, if an AI system can do half of a particular job under human supervision, it can free up (or make redundant) half of the people doing that job.
Your claim doesn't make any sense. The stored program electronic computers are a realisation of the concept from Turing, but Turing's work is based on Kurt Gödel's work, and the whole point of what Gödel showed was that no, you can't do that.

There's a period of maybe a couple of decades at the start of the 20th century where Whitehead and Russell have used logic to prove that 1 + 1 = 2, and it seems like maybe all of mathematics can be placed on a firm foundation, and then Gödel shows that oops, no, actually a logical system can't prove some true things, or, it can contradict itself. No firm foundations for us.
Yes, so far we’ve made videos for beginner and intermediate students. None for advanced.

> In addition, developers may have to pay extra if they want their apps to be available outside of the iOS App Store

If Apple gets a say in what I "sideload" (it's called installing), that's against the spirit of the law. Hopefully the EU lawmakers were competent enough to also make it against the text of the law. It would be outrageous.
That's my point, Android can have more than one app store running yet people choose to use one primary app store. The nightmare scenario of having to run multiple app stores that the OP seems to be scared of is a non-issue on platforms with multiple app stores.
What you say doesn't make much sense.

AFAIK there exists no popular belief that physics was different in early universe. The physics was the same, the only thing that was different was physical conditions. Meaning everything was densely packed together.

If you, even for a moment, assume that laws were different in early universe then you essentially lost any possibility to predict anything.
Random website downloads on Android are as reliable as random website downloads on desktop platforms. Most of them aren't malware, but Google's search is quickly turning into a malware distribution network rather than a search engine.

Here are two simple ruler apps you can reliably use: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=Ruler&lang=en

Here are a bunch more: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Ruler&rh=n%3A2350149011&crid=D5EU...

There are alternative app stores exactly for this reason. Nobody wants a future where you need to download random IPA files from the internet all the time, just having the ability to run F-Droid/Amazon App Store/Epic Games Mobile on your device is enough.

Honestly, I don't even get why Epic hasn't made an app store for Android yet. Mobile appsstores aren't exactly rocket science.

Also, how many examples are enough for simple classification? Does a multilingual model transfer its knowledge if my fine-tuning data has only some of the languages?

I really hate this attitude, this feeling of superiority that because you're in a poorer country and you're rich and entitled you just go there and bribe people to satisfy your misery tourism. They wouldn't do this in say, London, but because it's some poor country it's cool to even brag about it.

And not only that, they assume everyone is up for a bribe and even when they refuse it's because of some even bigger scam happening.
Interesting thread. Took a while to get around to the point, but it did, eventually, get there.

> Polycultures are important. People have different skills, perspectives, and connections. They have different institutional incentives and roles, and collaborate with others in diverse ways.

I’ve always found this to be true. I’ve spent my entire life, in fairly “heterogeneous” cultures.

Mixed teams can be difficult to manage (which is a big reason for today’s insistence on monoculture). Weak management tends to result in chaos, but a well-managed mixed team can do amazing things.

I've got some bad news for you: natural language has been used to specify programs since before there were computers to run them on.

Design documents, for one. Specifications. Standards documents. Business requests in emails, bug tickets, etc...

It goes on and on. Fundamentally, the process of programming is to convert something from a squishy human language into a purely mathematical one. Right now, programmers perform this task, essentially as "manual labour". Until now , they've had no power tools. That's what LLMs are. They're not autonomous robots -- not yet. Right now, they're levers for the mind, industrial machinery for developers to let them spit out more lines of code per day.

PS: Just as industrial machinery improved product quality, I'm starting to suspect LLMs will be used in the same way. Imagine a coding-specific variant of GPT 4 as a "pair programmer" constantly reading your code and looking for correctness issues, security vulnerabilities, unexpected gotchas, etc...
It's not quite as simple, the main reason for the 'rent' argument is DRM (e.g. most Steam games will stop working if the Steam client can't phone home for a while), but some games on Steam are actually DRM free - it's a very small minority though.
TL;DR: one more field was wrecked in the name of diversity.

The person you're responding two is wrong, though.

Worms don't have retinas or lenses, but they have hemispherically crossed nervous systems.
Most people learned about this stuff by searching the web back in the day, instead of "reading proper books and RFCs." The reason this knowledge is lost is entirely due to modern web dev taking place within frameworks that abstract all that lower-level knowledge away.
Biontech pioneered the mRNA technique and they were sponsored by German taxpayers; and Pfizer was promised by Operation Warpspeed that US taxpayers would purchase 100 million doses of any potential working vaccine before it was even developed, that must have felt motivating. There was no vaccines developed entirely through private funding even though the profits were entirely privatized, ie Moderna received about a billion in development aid and AstraZeneca somehow managed to pocket research out of Oxford University.

Blocks all Twitter Blue verified users on twitter.com
> ... Apple either increases their fees or decreases prices for an app that is also distributed elsewhere

I don't get why anyone should be paying Apple a rent for using a 3rd party app store (lets say exclusively).

As a hypothetical, lets say Epic Games or Steam launches an Alt App Store for games that can be installed on ios. Why does any gamedev using those stores have to pay Apple any transaction fee?

Just doesn't make any sense and would just be rent-seeking on Apple's part.
> The American strategy with Iran has been to surround it with enemies, including the Saudis. It took China to come in and make peace between the two. In that instance, and many others, the clear USA strategy was to make enemies.

I’ll concede that our strategy with Iran makes zero sense to me. But I never said we don’t make, or even seek out, enemies. Just that we build alliances. That’s true in our approach with Iran, which leans heavily on our Saudi, Emirati and Israeli allies.

> USA likes having vassals, it does not like having alliances with equals

We like both. Our alliances with Canada, the U.K. and Australia are ones of supreme, to the point of vulnerability, mutual respect. Our alliances with France and Germany approach co-equal status–we regularly disagree without abandoning each other. We obviously don’t give a shit about the people in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or, frankly, Ukraine, the way we do about Western Europe or Korea.

> the USA would gladly sacrifice Korea and Taiwan if it hurt China

Just got back from Taipei. Don’t think anyone there sees our committing to defending their homeland as sacrificing them.

Why can't we just save Rust data-structures in a memory-mapped file? That would make saving and loading much more efficient, and it would also make programming much more convenient.
The most interesting part is some bribes are not bribes by law. They call it facilitation payment!
In legal terms there is nothing bad in paying corrupted employee of some government office to do his work.
Imagine you had all papers correct for your cat, but they anyway would not release your cat from quarantine, without any reason. Then your facilitation payment is not a bribe.

This is how I think it roughly works where I live: You get a per-user token directly at the bank or via mail (not email, but a physical envelope). Your banking app can use this token once to get a secret key. Secret key + user name + password allows you to use the banking app.

Any way to circumvent this requires app isolation to be broken somehow.

If you’re required to accept license agreements to be able to use the device and those agreements restrict you in how you use it, then I see this as a restriction to your ownership. Especially if the terms are opaque and not clearly communicated before the purchase.

I’ve been running into this problem too, my solution has been to use parts and reference designs originally created for PoE applications. Inductor selection is also more finicky. When assembling a buck circuit to take 12v down to 5v, I can be pretty cavalier about the inductor, so long as it supports my max current x1.5 (my minimum derating value), but once you get to covert 48v down to 12, 5, or 3.3, ripple becomes a huge concern, but also the inductor behaves like a gigantic flywheel, plowing current down regardless of upstream switches and in general doing its own thing. I tend to over-protect my circuits with camping diodes and zeners to dump excess voltage to ground - something you don’t usually do when you’re controlling the voltage source, but I lack the knowledge on how to make a minimum design possible here.

I agree that we don't know, but we can weight the different possible explanations by plausibility.

The article's explanation would explain all the facts we do know, so we can reasonably weight that as a very plausible explanation. I'll also add that the article says, 'Now, this all makes sense mathematically, but it’s important to note that we don’t know for certain that this is truly why our brains and bodies are connected the way they are. There is very little biological research on this intriguing question. The convenient dodge often heard is that the scientific method tells us “what,” not “why.”'

The GP's explanation doesn't explain why worms have criss-crossed nervous systems despite not having retinas or lenses, and it incorrectly assumes that other systems don't benefit from a criss-crossed nervous systems, so we can reasonably weight the GP's explanation as highly implausible.

I'm neither a fan nor a detractor of Elon Musk. The man has his faults. I am a huge fan of space exploration and the settlement of Mars, and therefore I really, really want SpaceX to succeed. For that reason I've been very critical of this test.

Professionals in the industry whose life work is the study of rocket plumes (e.g. @ DrPhiltill on Twitter) warned about what would happen if they proceeded with this plan. They were right. The FAA license application, as it turns out, was wildly off base and the projected environmental impact was off by as much as an order of magnitude, being based on an earlier design with much, much lower thrust.

This does not help the cause. It makes SpaceX come off as reckless, irresponsible, and untrustworthy. It makes it less likely that the FAA is going to sign off on a launch from Boca Chica again, and certainly not in the next year or so.

Property law has been deep on all the various aspects of ownership for millenia, so there's a big "bundle of rights" which any specific type of ownership may or may not have.

One test for "full ownership" is the contractual restrictions that come attached; i.e. whether the law is the only thing that limits what you can do with the thing, or whether there are some extra conditions (which are not that rare in e.g. real estate deals for as long as we have recorded history); that's generally considered ownership but a restricted one. On the other hand, if you aren't prohibited to do that thing but simply aren't capable of doing it, that would still be considered unrestricted ownership.

But something that is a key part of ownership - especially with respect to various "buying" of e.g. games - is the ability to transfer it to others. If you can't give or sell the thing you've purchased to someone else, that clearly indicates that you don't own it.

They restrict it because people prefer the other way, and that would harm Apple's profits.
Just extending the hypothetical, the developer can drop the price to $2.49/mo passing on the savings to customers and perhaps capture a few more customers at that price point.

While it is true that inertia might stop many customers from changing the default, it does give an additional degree of freedom for devs.

Also, in price conscious geographies like India (where Apple just launched their first two retail stores this past week), we have alternate payment mechanisms like UPI (Unified Payment Interface) that are zero cost. So, why should a dev be forced to use only the payment mechanisms offered by Apple?

Do you have any evidence backing this idea? It is reasonable to believe that the closed platform allowed for the platform to be more trust worthy making it grow faster due to more people seeing it as a platform they can trust. Or maybe an open platform would have led to mass piracy of apps meaning there is less motivation for developers to make apps.
