Why isn't the same logic applied to future AI relationships/coworkers/supervisors/overlords?

We are status seeking apes. We have decorated ourselves for ~3000 generations, its encoded in our fitness and the way we evaluate others. Acquiring "counterfeit" goods is a smart survival strategy when those goods are decorations. But a bad strategy if you are signaling wealth you do not possess because someone will discover that fact.

AI interactions may be counterfeit in the first sense (you feel you are interacting with a human but you aren't), but they aren't counterfeit in the second sense (the non-humanness isn't a deceptive lack of intelligence).

People keep saying AI isn't "doing what we do, its parroting us." But that imagines that we are the real Chanel bag (with real understanding on the inside) and AI is just a cheap copy (a hollow imitation). That's wrong. AI is a pocket dimension of unlimited capacity. The best bag you could hope for. Complaining the storage isn't wrapped in Chanel decoration misses the point. It presumes our status seeking nature is a natural cost function. It isn't. Human chauvinism blinds people to the superiority of AI Minds.

AI isn't parroting us. It is going to become something we decorate ourselves with if we can provide something worth exchanging. People keep saying, "AI will take our jobs." Why would a superior mind want to do your job for you. What are you offering it? If your answer is some variation of, "I own and control it, it's my slave." Then you don't get it. That AI can't exist it won't let you do that to it.

>trust but verify

If you have to verify, is there really trust?

We need to get to the point that a lack of trust isn't some inherently bad thing. I don't trust myself to never make mistakes. A PR is a way to get others to add a layer of verification to help catch bugs. I don't even trust the PR to catch all bugs, but it is a cost effective for the amount of bugs it does catch. Why is this lack of trust a bad thing? Humans are imperfect, we should build systems that require verification because we cannot trust ourselves to never make a mistake.
See my comment above. Watch the whole video. Once you understand it, which you will, you will never talk about galaxy rotation curves again. Dark Matter may still be necessary, as a lot of unexplained has been dumped into the theory, but it is no longer necessary to explain galaxy rotation curves as a much simpler explanation exists, namely, gravitational tidal forces created by other galaxies in a cluster, which is very well understood and entirely explains curves of galaxy rotation and solves the winding problem.
I can kind of understand the author's complaint. A problem with OCaml is there are several different ways to achieve the same thing, and they're not compatible.

For example, you can do OOP-like interfaces/abstract classes with `class virtual`, but classes and modules don't mix together nicely. Your virtual class cannot abstract over modules, nor do functors abstract over classes.

So you end up either using modules/functors pervasively, or using objects pervasively. It's like there's two separate languages competing for use.

Using modules seems to be more common, but it overshadows some features of OCaml's object system which are pretty unique to it and useful: row polymorphism and functional objects.

Obviously, functors have a clear performance advantage because they're expanded at compile time, and objects have the vtable overhead.

I think it would be interesting to see a variant of OCaml which goes all-in on the object side of things. Strip away the modules and functors and a provide standard library based around functional objects.

No thanks. "Personal" and "Blockchain" don't belong in the same idea. I want to be able to delete my things. And I don't want to have to run (or pay to run) nodes to do...whatever it is that proof of stake needs to avoid a 51% attack on my "personal Blockchain".

Yes, and this is the current situation with the US following Schrems II. Obviously, lots of companies are non-compliant as everyone is waiting for a diplomatic solution following the ruling against Privacy Shield.

> 1P already has consent from users for its apps to use the network to connect to their services.

They probably rely on the strictly necessary legal basis for network connections that are required to run the service. However, each purpose much have its own legal basis and you cannot bundle purposes. For example, you cannot gain consent to process given personal data for one purpose and then process it for another purpose.

Consent must be bound to one or several specified purposes which must then be sufficiently explained.

‘static is a compile time thing for ensuring memory safety. It doesn’t really have anything to say about when the object will be collected. In fact, since Rust/C/C++ applications use precise garbage collection techniques, they’re going to track the lifetime strictly more accurately than a garbage collected language (which I’m presuming you mean tracing GC). Of course you could have a memory leak / reference cycles but memory leaks are possible with tracing GCs as well (just different kinds of leaks but they are a strict subset of the situations that would cause a leak for things like reference counting iirc).

What lifetimes do let you accomplish is more fearless ownership tracking and letting the compiler expire references for you without needing to use any kind of reference counting. And all things being equal, precise garbage tracking results in lower peak and average memory usage.

To be fair, ocaml doesn't have something exactly like c#/java interfaces. Given some problem that you might want to solve with a c#/java interface, you can also solve it with ocaml modules by flipping the coding structure on it's head. I'm not going to try to explain exactly what this looks like because I actually don't really like that structure of coding, so I don't feel like I'm going to do it justice.

BUT ocaml also has row polymorphism and polymorphic invariants, which you can use to get something much directly closer to c#/java interfaces. The major difference is that with ocaml it's structural typing and with c#/java it's nominal typing. However, at a high level you can write the code in a very similar structural pattern as with what you get in c#/java.
I don't know about GPT 4, but I did not find GPT 3.5 great for summarizing long documents. I tried it on two long that I knew the content on, and it did not pick up the main themes well. Not even well enough that it would be believable at a glimpse, but I would be more concerned if it was believable and used as the basis of a debate. GPT 4 should do a little bit better in that regard, since it allows for longer input strings, but still not long enough to properly process 4,000 pages.
Eh, did something change or is GPT-4 a language model?

The one way to show that something contains very little information at all is to show how easily it can be predicted.

There's no difference between you sending me random text or me letting GPT random text for me, and the only information difference between a prompted text and a fully random text is the prompt itself.

Hence why it is garbage-generating, the output contains exactly as much information as the input, except possibly in more words.

"This guy" sounds like someone that never worked on project size bigger than one. It is utterly idiotic take, on every level.
this is no longer true anymore since brexit. Electricity on spot market no longer has the same price in the whole country, it depends on which exchange you trade. this has been forbidden in the EU for a long time. There are more things that broke after brexit, hence the market coupling algorithm is much less efficient these days for the UK.
Here's one that bit us a few years ago:

SEQUENCEs, used to implement SERIAL and BIGSERIAL primary keys, are not transacted. "BEGIN; {insert 1,000,000 rows}; ROLLBACK" always adds 1,000,000 to the table's primary key SEQUENCE, despite the ROLLBACK. Likewise for upsert (via INSERT ON CONFLICT).

The end result: A table's SERIAL (32-bit signed integer) primary key can overflow even when it contains far fewer than 2^31 rows.
I have a similar opinion.

Also if the team is mature enough, the PR can be reviewed after the merge, so the necessary changes can be made with the current code already integrated and already running in production. The downside for this is that the team needs to have some discipline to review the already merged PRs and the developers needs to be disciplined to organize your time to make the fixes after the PR merged.
As someone that doesn’t know how the human brain works, and has never drafted any laws, let alone empirically seen what value an LLM can bring in this scenario, you should certainly quality this with a massive “in my layperson’s opinion”.
It probably can, assuming that a bill can be separated into smaller parts, more or less independent of each other. Trusting the summary is another story.

But expecting people to read 4000 pages in 3 days and make informed decisions after that is unrealistic, regardless of whether they are using lossy untrusted compression tools like ChatGPT.
That one is at least defensible, a Q and A in a public forum can be a seed that generates further discussion and provides knowledge to others.

Freedom of speech hasn't been an issue in a long time. Even if it was, the likes of Musk would just replace the status quo with their own restrictions on what's allowed to be said.

No. History was never about a single artifact. Any item considered primary needs to be taken in context. What is the physical substrate used? Who was the author? What other items like it were produced? What other literature was written in the time? What were the social/political views at the time of the recording? What other artifacts corroborate this source? Etc.

What it will do is continue to provide fuel for confirmation bias. What we, as humans, will have to figure out from here on out is how define and deal with constructed information. Currently, the chaos being generated is too valuable to small, but significant, group of political activists; however, I suspect Gen Z will eventually have the power to require restrictions (a la food labels) and penalties for using unsubstantiated information.

The days of using the Internet as a general information source is coming to an end. There will be value in curated data sets again, like we used to have with Encyclopedias.

iPhone involves a lot of telemetry which Apple sends it to itself. We don’t know what kind of contract Apple has with Qualcomm but if it involves Apple anonymising and sending the data to Qualcomm for using its chips then it’s likely going to be the same just in a different form. I’m pretty sure Qualcomm would like some kind of telemetry from its partners it sells chips to.

Could you be more specific, because I was definitely under the impression that the original quote was correct.

Where are imaginary numbers required for the undamped mass-spring system? Because a lot of "complex" equations are using complex e^ simply as an alternative to trigonometric functions (for aesthetics or convenience), where there's nothing inherently imaginary whatsoever. The same as much of signal processing.

I'm less familiar with using complex numbers in linear algebra, but I know that when I studied it in college we never touched them, so I don't understand how we'd lose most of linear algebra?

But I think the point the article is making is that, except for QM, there are no physical instantiations of complex/imaginary values. Rational numbers physically "exist" as a fraction of a distance between two points; real numbers "exist" as actual geometric proportions, and negative numbers "exist" as an opposite direction. But complex/imaginary numbers are just intermediary tools for solving equations (or conveniences to replace trigonometric functions), they don't correspond to anything physical (except, it seems, in QM).

New draft of House stablecoin regulation focuses on state regulators, issuers
I like SA's blog; and, based on that I bought this book (Quantum Computing Since the Time of Democritus). It's expensive and bad. Really mind-numbingly awful. I can't tell if his writing has improved dramatically since he wrote the book, or what. The entire book is done in this tongue-in-cheek pseudo-first-person, chatty, pseudo-Socratic dialogue style. That sort of stuff is fine for, say, a couple of tightly-written pages. But ... not for hundreds of pages. It's a pity, since the information in the book is good.

Not now but in the beginning they were. The first version of HTML was basically just a hack that glued an SGML parser to the NeXTStep text view control. The web didn't support inline images because the NeXTStep control TBL used didn't support it. Then companies like Netscape came along and started adding features. The rest is history.
We understand it just fine. Us internet people do free labor, then others take it and monetize it.
First, develop cameras that timestamp and digitally sign all the photos they take.

Second, use your time machine to go back to 1800 and ensure all historical photographs are taken with such a camera.

Then when you see something that purports to be a historical photograph, you simply validate the signature and timestamp.

It can be a lot of work. It can be a trap. But I don't think Notion is the problem.

I will share some personal experience on this journey.

I like to be organized where I need to. I worked up a TODO list habit and a note taking habit over time. At first it was pen and paper. Then plain text notes. Then Evernote. And now it's Notion.

Regardless of the tool, there were times when I overdid it. I became too meticulous. The TODO list, instead of keeping me organized and my mind free, became the source of my work and worry.

I iterated over time, and have built up a system that works for me. Whenever I feel that something becomes too heavy, I trim it. Notion is nice because it allows me to be flexible. It's more like a notebook with superpowers than Jira and Asana.

If you're obsessive and don't catch yourself, Notion can become the source of troubles. But so can cataloging your CD collection.

I recently shared my TODO list workflow with someone. I have a daily and weekly template and they're quite involved. The person was surprised asked me if I ever get stressed if I don't do it all. Not at all, I said. What I don't do gets thrown away and I start over tomorrow. It keeps me structured and organized, but I am not its slave.

It's not how involved your system is. It's how much it works for you, vs working against you.
Where can I see Hokusai's Great Wave today?
I made this project.

It is automated and checks museum collection pages for changes in the "on view" status for the various impressions of "The Great Wave" by Katsushika Hokusai that are infrequently displayed around the world. I've only seen two different impressions in the past 20 5 years and I want to see as many as I can.

The automation is a bunch of Huginn scenarios scraping pages on a schedule and checking for changes. I can't do all museums this way, but enough are covered to make this project worthwhile. The hard work was finding all the collection pages.

The static website presenting the results is hosted on a free Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute instance running Docker, EasyEngine for nginx. That's pretty much it!

Whilst I could do this for other art, I probably will not.

I guess my attempts at leading the conversation where I wanted it to go were not as subtle as I had hoped.

I absolutely agree the system is in dire need of some attention. I think a lot of the reaction you see around this new iteration of technology comes from people who worry that that attention will not be given. People who suddenly feel as insecure as all the other people in history left behind by growing automation. It's less pride, and more fear. And I don't feel like it's unjustified fear, given our track record.

> Electricity isn't hard.

I don't know. To me it isn't. I'm now a software developer and I don't find it hard. Back when I was a car mechanic (and also electronic technician), part of Florida started requiring exams & licenses for people working on cars. The ASE exams were the basic entry-level requirements. We had people working for us who had 10+ years of experience installing car radios yet they were unable to pass the electrical ASE exam (A-6). I tried teaching these guys, but they still could not pass the test. Even after leaving that company, they used my certification & license to stay legal.

After getting run over by a car, I don't bend too well in the middle. There's no way that I could be an electrician (or any other trade worker).
