Searle's argument in the Chinese Room is only that passing the Turing Test isn't enough to prove evidence of Mind (capital 'm' to distinguish it at the philosophical jargon term, and all it entails). He does hold the stance that he doesn't think Computationalism (in the style of Dennet) is correct. I'm not sure if he personally feels the Chinese Room argument refutes that stance as a whole, but I believe the general consensus is that, as originally formulated in his essay, it does not stand as a total refutation of Computationalism, without reading between the lines or squinting your eyes a bit. Searle does have a wider stance that he does not think computations can have things equivalent to mental states, especially intentionality. Obviously there is a whole separate debate to his correctness there, but I'm skipping over it to just discuss the Chinese Room

That passing the Turing Test is not enough to exhibit evidence of Mind is not that controversial today. GPT-4 could easily pass the Turing Test as it was originally formulated. There are not many out there that think it possesses conciousness or intentionality or any mental states at all really. We'd generally agree now that passing the Turing Test is only a step towards creating an actual artificial mind (how large or small a step is still up for debate).

Anyway, all this is a tangent as I still don't understand why the original commenter feels this article provides a refutation of the Chinese Room argument when it seems (to me) to reinforce it. I'm just curious on that perspective and was interested in hearing more.

For example, your CI/CD agent is running in a container, and has to build and test containerized software. You can use something like buildah to build your app containers without a container runtime, but you want to run them to run the tests.

Ideally, you would want to do this while remaining platform-agnostic, so your agents will be able to start a container no matter where they are themselves: on bare metal, in Podman, in Docker, in k8s.

That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is: Why do we not *update* these books? This gets back into the question of copyright of course.
If you lose users (and costs) but not customers, that's not so bad.
IMO, separate files are clearer. I'd even argue that mixing server and client in one file with a made up framework semantics isn't the cleanest pattern that people can easily wrap their head around. Rich made this point in his most recent talk in the section about implicit DSLs.
There are many perspectives on what is user friendly. What helps the docker case along is its accessibility and availability to people. A lot of people know about it, so a lot of people have played around with it enough to use it.

PKI is not on the same level of accessibility and availability as docker, not even close.

The proof is to simply look at what took off and what didn't. Yes this is a tech forum but it's also a startup forum, and startups take off because they're accessible to people. Same goes for nostr, it will take off when it becomes accessible to regular people.

And even that has many different aspects. If self-hosting is an important aspect, as fediverse nodes for example, then it must also be accessible to self-hosters. That is where docker-compose comes in for the fediverse.

From the information I gathered, this is an incident in the GlobalSwitch datacenter in Paris.

The big issue here is that one Datacenter failure brought the whole region down, this is very abnormal.
That's funny.

It's just like high profile climate activists that invest in beachfront property despite their insistence that it's the apocalypse and properties like that will be underwater in less than a decade.

So too do companies and individuals who invest and sell "AI", bad facial recognition, faulty risk modeling with biases, that are causing real harm and problems right now, hem hawing about the risk and "ethics" of something other than what they sell causing issues.

They also want the same people who are still figuring out e-mail to regulate it. i.e. give them an avenue for regulatory capture. Curious.

Can you help me, from the following definitions since no one can seem to pinpoint a single definition of "AGI", where the "AGI risk" is from text prediction models?

"[AGI is] an autonomous system that surpasses human capabilities at the majority of economically valuable work"

"[AGI is a] hypothetical intelligent agent which can learn to replicate any intellectual task that human beings or other animals can"

Do you have an actual copy of a example request (with all headers) from an manufacturer's ROM? There's a lot of discussion but no-one has actually posted the full HTTP request, but there is a lot of stuff which indicates there might be a lot more information in the request on official ROMs (especially those using qualcomm's daemon). I know grapheneOS keeps it to the bare minimum required.

> the discovery that ...

Wouldn't the vast majority of those studying primes learn this from their textbook?

Note that 6k-1 is the same as 6k + 5. By writing that way, we can focus in positive representations of the modulo 6 congruence.

6k + 0 can't be prime, it's divisible by 6, yielding k

6k + 1 might be prime: we cannot rule it out by division.

6k + 2 cannot be prime, it's divisible by 2, yielding 3k + 1.

6k + 3 cannot be prime, it's divisible by 3, yielding 2k + 1

6k + 4 cannot be prime, it's divisible by 2, yielding 3k + 2

6k + 5 might be prime again.

That covers all cases of the modulo 6 congruence.

Thus only 6k + 1 and 6k + 5 can possibly be prime.

This is trivial fluff, only a smidgeon more clever than "all primes greater than 2 are of the form 2k + 1".

Another line of reasoning:

If a number N is divisible by 6, then it is even. This means that N + 2 and N + 4 are also even. Thus none of those numbers are prime.

If a number N is divisible by 6, it is also divisible by 3. This means that N + 3 is also divisible by 3. Thus, it cannot be prime.

That leaves N + 1 and N + 5, whose divisibility doesn't relate to 6.
Agreed, but I think it only works to a point. Content is becoming more commoditized/more generic (maximise margins/cash in on some big trend). This, coupled with way too many new services claiming exclusive originals and people are deciding to not even bother watching it or just to sail the high seas. It's much like at one point the music streaming services had exclusives too. Sorry Spotify I'd rather just not bother listening to Rammstein than have yet another subscription.
I really wish the iPhone let you disable certain bands - I get there's an argument about "you need to be able to use them just in case you need it for an emergency call", but in Australia where I live, the 2G networks have all been shut down and the spectrum re-allocated, and my carrier will shut down 3G around the end of the year an the largest carrier shut 3G down mid 2024.

So I can safely disable 2G knowing that I will not need it, since the networks don't exist and while I'm in the country the only possible use would be a downgrade attack. Similarly, I'm happy to turn off 3G given I'm very rarely out of LTE coverage and it's not long until it will be gone anyway.

If it's really a problem, they could have an "re-enable bands if needed while attempting an emergency call" option (or have it do it automatically with no option).
My phone (from Sony) uses this and is making these requests, and I can neither find anything in settings which would allow me to opt out, nor do I remember such an example during set-up (and I always go out of my way to refuse such things).
Facebook is fairly automated. A lot of stuff that's extremely clear to a human doesn't get taken down. One trick that seems to still work is mob reporting. It works as an attack, but also works with scammers.

It's a B2B business that grew out of a mainframe database Adabas, then started to diversify "into XML", then analytics by buyouts.

It is only tangentially a competitor to SAP in that they sell to the same public administrations and multi-billion corporations.

They did little to make the world a better place, aside from commissioning a beautiful HQ building and employing the author of Saxon for a while.

The core workforce is aging, the buyouts keep the middle management busy but do not always turn into new business lines.
Honestly, I think the comment about LPDDR5 in the article is very telling...

Yes, TFLOPS are not truly indicative of real world performance, but considering a ~14% difference in power, why couldnt this thing EASILY run 1440p or 4k at 30 like the Series S or PS5? Series S has 4 TFLOPS and targets 1440p at 60 for most games...
Even without this, I don't think the claim that "memccpy() comes relatively close" to safe string manipulation can be taken seriously if it doesn't even null terminate the destination. That's a pretty core requirement.

(I mean, of course it doesn't null terminate given its intended usage, but that's what it would need for that claim.)
One of the modes of operations does go in as keyboard inputs, so yes.

Because then we lose any sense of historical context.

Old books at their essence lets us talk to people from the past. We won't always like what they have to say, but they will speak about themselves and highlight how we've changed. If we can't understand where we came from, then we can't hope to understand how we got where we are.

Quoted from Taulli, T. (2022): "Modern Mainframe Development", O’Reilly Media, Inc, p. 63:

"Every day 200 times more COBOL transactions are performed versus Google searches.

More than 220 billion lines of code are running today, or about 80% of the world’s total.

About 1.5 billion new lines of COBOL are written each year."

IBM sells and maintains much of the "Big Iron" mainframes running COBOL and provides development services.

Tangentially, this is directly related to the article, as x*sin(x) is the x-component of plotting (x,x) in polar coordinates: with more precision (with x a real), you'd obtain a single spiral, but with integers where 2pi≈6, they appear as six.

Plotting primes p like this is plotting p*e^(ip), but the spirals are an interesting observation. You can straighten them out by adding a pi factor to the polar coordinate (so iside the sin...) but that's less interesting.

Just to be clear I've seen a few big city USofA St Pat's Day parades (maybe 4 or 5) and it's those that I wouldn't frame as "nice" in the eyes of actual Irish citizens who (in my experience) tend to be polite about them to Americans but hard eye roll about the whole deal elsewhere.

We've got several neighbours about who were born, educated, and worked in either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland before coming out here to Australia (a number former security | police as we (W.Australia) offered assisted passage to migrate for work) and for them it's an odd thing seeing others several generations removed celebrating an imagined Brigadoon (albeit Irish rather than Scottish).

Still, as you note, photos of crowds here look much like photos of crowds there so it's hard to see any issue .. still I imagine that celebrating Ireland in Ireland by Irish people must differ in some manner from not that.

Because the human brain has the capacity to frame specific pieces of work in their time periods, understand the discrepancies between past and present and work around it.

I would also like to offer an additional counterpoint: Leaving work intact will, not only preserve the work "as is", but also contribute to future historians the true sociological impression that is aptly accurate for their time period.
Both Visa and Mastercard started out as companies that were owned by a consortium of banks.

"By 1970, BofA gave up direct control of the BankAmericard program, forming a cooperative with the other various BankAmericard issuer banks to take over its management. It was then renamed Visa in 1976."

Both Visa and Mastercard mandated upgrades to merchant terminals in the non-US world. For example, in Australia, as of 1 August 2014, Chip+PIN was required.

That upgrade has been delayed repeatedly in the US because of pushback from the merchants that don't want to upgrade their terminals. It has nothing to do with the consumers.

Visa in the US states: "When you upgrade to chip technology, you continue to be protected from counterfeit fraud losses. As of October 1, 2015, businesses that don’t accept Visa chip card transactions may be responsible for any resulting counterfeit fraud. Similarly, effective April 17, 2021, Visa transactions made at ATMs and Automated Fuel Dispensers (AFDs) will be included in the Liability Shift Policy."

In the US however, they continue to support signatures, which have been removed pretty much every where else:

"No. Visa continues to support a range of cardholder verification methods (CVMs) including signature, online PIN, and no-signature for low-value, low-risk transactions. Visa will maintain interoperability across those methods with technical standards, business rules, and compliance programs."

Expressive languages help, but for anything larger than a homework problem I would still sketch up the system elements and how they communicate on a piece of paper, then write the implementation in a high level pseudocode. My 2c.
Some surprising but partial flashes of "design".

For example, "a card that is strictly better than Shock and strictly worse than Lightning Bolt" did 2 damage to any target but 3 if there is a flying creature on the battlefield, quite a clever way to split the 1 damage of difference between Shock and Lightning Bolt... but it cost 1R instead of R like the two reference cards, throwing the meaningful card text out of the window.

Structured analysis and generation, for example correlating creature types with each other and mana costs or deciding whether two abilities are too similar to appear on the same card, appears to be the main way to make the generator less unintelligent. User interface is already very good.

I expect that people downvote these things based on emotion and not reason. It's been very perceivable that IKEA's quality has gone down over the years.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has studied how overfitting translates into the domain of llm output: it's easy to understand when you're fitting a line though data, or building a classifier, you overfit and your test set loss is higher than your training set loss, and this directly relates to worse performance of the model. For an llm picking probably next words, what's the analogy, and does overfitting make it "worse" even if a test set loss is higher?
