>An AI of that level would have mastery over game theory, and would only generate asynchronous copies that it knew it could compensate for.

I'm not convinced this is actually possible under the current paradigm, and I think the current paradigm can't take us to AGI. Lately, as people have bemoaned all the things ChatGPT can't do or fails at when they ask it, I have been reflecting on my personal batting average for solving (and failing to solve!) problems and the process that I use to go about eventually solving problems that I couldn't at first. These reflections have led me to consider that an AGI system might not be a single model, but a community of diverse models that form a multi-agent system that each learn through their own experience and can successfully help get each-other unstuck. Through this they would learn game theory, but none would become so advanced as to be able to control all the others through an advanced understanding, though power could be accumulated in other ways.
I do restart browsers after upgrading them, but that's different from restarting Linux. For desktop environments, I usually don't bother rebooting Linux for anything other than major releases (like GNOME 43/44 and Plasma 5.26/5.27) since most of the minor releases don't make enough of a difference in day to day use to interrupt what I'm doing.
Thank you for doing so; it led me to see this post, and I appreciate that. I’ll vouch next time if I see it go back to [dead].

I got the Deutschlandticket for May and am tempted to travel from Berlin to Stralsund. Using RE/RB for this journeh takes more or less three hours without any train change (so not having to deal with the possible delay(s) and missing connecting rides), however I do hope the operator supports reserving a seat in advance with this subscription, cause otherwise showing up at the station not knowing for sure I'd have a seat would deter me from using this offer and instead just book ICE/IC (if any).

Comparing AI to the blockchain is peak nonsense.

If AI can help solve cancer is that a net negative? What about renewable energy? What about all trauma? Still a net negative?
Not sure I'm convinced - natural language is one of the most intuitive interfaces we have, it's also how most instructions in professional contexts are delivered. What current ChatBots are missing right now isn't radiobuttons for different styles but context. No one who just reads my messages can know what kind of style I'm looking for until they either get laborious instructions, or, probably better, they see some examples.

I'm guessing that training custom language models on a company's data must be one of the hottest things you can be working on right now if you're looking for VC money (if there's something out there that compares to how well StableDiffusion+Dreambooth works for images, I'd be thankful for any pointers).
I apologise I upset you. It was not my intention.

My intent was to get you to consider that maybe there's more to bash than you may think (based on what you were saying about it), because I think it's a very rewarding journey. The intent wasn't to disparage your ability in bash.

But in any case, PS is good too. Use what you enjoy most, I guess.
blame the human for assuming that that would be sufficient.
This is an interesting situation where the judicial system seems truly out of control. Republicans are generally more likely to be in favor of the death penalty, but the attorney general and governor are Republicans that have intervened because they believe that justice is being miscarried. Nevertheless, the appeals court is forcing an execution. Perhaps the panel of judges is using stare decisis to conclude: "you had your chance to present the truth before, but didn't, so too bad". If the entire political spectrum disagrees with the judges, it makes a clear case that the problem is the system. I hope the governor will grant pardon or clemency if the court won't reconsider.
Not a very convincing argument, your gizmo sliders and checkboxes or whatever aren't going to replace chatbots but only slightly extend them and really aren't needed if AI gets better over time.

Some neural connection to the brain that will interpret your thoughts is the only logical thing that will supersede chat ai, but that won't happen for a while. Maybe a connection to all your data will happen first so the AI will better understand what type of person you are and what you want, that's already probably happening based on past responses.
yeah, that goes back to us paying people more than other countries. People in the US make a killing managing projects, working in the office, etc... not to mention the huge amounts the C-Suite as salary and bonuses for their leadership on these projects.
I can only say from the Swiss perspective, critical system and service are not degraded and the system would work perfectly fine without a few 10000 civil service works. And I don't think this is true for Austria either.

> Yes, democracy is about getting the people's vote of confidence. How you earn that confidence is outside the democratic process and could be as simple as "feed them BS".

In Switzerland getting people vote is about much more then confidence as we vote regularly on actual issues, not just on people or parties. And because its Concordance system all parties share a certain amount of confidence form the population.

The political discussion about mandatory military services are certainly happening and have been for a very long time. Generally, in a conservative society you need to have a really convincing reason to change something, and in Switzerland at least nobody has come up with a great alternative that convinces many people so the system stays as it it.
I agree that there are many benefits, and reasons to desire building more for those benefits. And costs: I wouldn't want to live in any dense city I've ever visited, and I've seen ones all over the world, but that's my choice-- and I think it's totally reasonable for people to have other preferences.

But I think its far less clear that affordability should be expected to be among those benefits. It's hard to be sure how much value causes density vs density causes value, otherwise one would say that as the post shows-- the existing examples show that increasing density will decrease affordability. But many people do accept the argument that more roads mean more traffic.
You can get these plastic license plate covers. I don't know of anyone who has gotten caught using them and I see them everywhere. The red light cameras can't catch you and you can risk t-boning people at will.
Beyond the obvious fact that you can accidentally hit your thumb with a hammer or strip the head off a screw with a screwdriver, I’d very much like to hear about any tool for collecting knowledge that is perfect.

Web searches will for sure give you wrong answers. Even professors or other experts in a field will be wrong sometimes. Heck, even Einstein got some things wrong.

Your goalpost is in the wrong spot. Tools don’t need to be and probably never can be perfect. But that doesn’t mean they’re not useful.
They've always said they do their best to recover all depositor funds. It's just not 100% guaranteed by the insurance fund, but that's no reason to wipe out everyone above that.

The loss of confidence (and people losing their jobs) would make that much worse for the economy than finding some more money somewhere else; because banks work on confidence, telling people you have their money stops them from withdrawing it, which means you don't need to actually give them it.

new cars in california are sold with temp tags now. they look the same as the ones in other states.
how are you so confident about that?
Yes, it's never been profitable. The first photovoltaic device was built in the 1830's, and mass photovoltaic deployment only became profitable in the last decade. R&D in fission is absolutely not complete. The investment in it has been pathetic since before computer modeling existed, there's no way there aren't efficiencies to find. So much of the field references papers from the 50s and 60s, because that was the last time there was money and a non-strangling amount of regulation. Thorium reactors, theoretically much safer and cheaper, have barely even been tried.

It would take a huge capital investment to get a program like this off the ground, so it's too risky for the market. The invisible hand's rejection is not the same as impossibility.
Makes me wonder how WebAuthN will fare. As long as the browser is in control of the UX for managing keypairs, I don't see strong browser crypto ever succeeding, because it will fail in the same way <keygen> did: horrible browser UX. Also nobody wants all their keys stuck in one browser. You need a software layer to help you manage your keys and share them across devices. That is unless every website adopts a "device registration" pattern where a user is just a collection of trusted "devices".

They changed the law a little while back and now new cars come with a paper number plate. The bridges were complaining that too many people didn’t pay tolls.

Steve Jobs used to get a new Mercedes S class every three months so he wouldn’t have to have a plate.
> who asserted that Person A was “too aggressive” to succeed in the new role. Behaviors that were regularly rewarded in white, male peers, such as taking initiative to perform needed duties outside the scope of their role, were instead framed as negative indications of focus.

> I provided written guidance to Ram, who was also my supervisor, on the ways in which this “vibes based” determination of inadequacy constituted sex bias and workplace discrimination, and asked him to please speak with Person A and HR jointly.

To me, without any additional context, this seems like it might be people referring to different things with the same terminology. Management is not an area I would want someone to be aggressive, as in confrontational, in. But in business aggression, as in ambition, is often seen as positive. Aggressiveness is often used to describe both types of behavior, and I think it's easy for people to misinterpret what is trying to be communicated because of that.

Is being confrontational a male trait? Is being ambitious? Perhaps one or both are, but certain positions work with those traits better than others, and if that's indeed part of what was being communicated, that may not be a matter of a male trait that's valued being devalued when expressed in a women as much as a trait being a bad fit for the position.

I don't know it was actually meant or the full context in this situation, but as someone that has a coworker that is often confrontational, sometimes in disruptive ways, but also was interested in a management position, that's what came to mind when I read this. I do not believe his particular way of interacting with people would work well in a management position, and I could definitely see myself calling it "aggressive". That said, I do personally like this person and consider them a friend, I just don't think they would do well in a position such as that.

Edit: I haven't completed the article, so the above is from reaching that point in the piece, and should be taken mostly as a general discussion point and not a specific assessment of an event in this article.

Nah, that’s not the hasty generalization fallacy. They didn’t say “bitcoin allows for crime to happen”, they said bitcoin has been the center of a huge amount of actual financial crime.

I think that’s the observation fallacy, where you look at what’s happening and then state it out loud.
Why did companies suddenly become greedy in 2021 when they weren't greedy from 1980 through 2020? Why are they less greedy again in 2023?
There is some competitive notion, for certain, since there is a lot of pushback on AI-generated art from artists.
> but the belief that individual technological efforts can defeat large-scale corporate and nation-state monitoring is pretty silly.

Nation states may have a lot of budget, but they still have a budget. Mass survelience needs to have low per user cost to succeed. It is entirely reasonable to assume small changes if widely adopted could make mass surveilence ecconomically unfeasible.

I've been confused in the last couple of threads related to this topic how responses like yours exist. Trying to be constructive, I'm going to float a theory: you live in Silicon Valley and that doesn't seem like much money?

For a German pensioner, in many cases, this would represent more than 5% of post-rent living costs. For my girlfriend, a manager of a team of 16 people (in non-tech in Germany) it's more than 5% of her post-taxes, post-rent income.

€49/month is not trivial for a lot of working or retired Germans. GDP per capita in Germany is €46k/year, and after taxes and insurance (and rent! and that more than half of Germans that make less than that), €49/month is not a pittance.

These tickets are generally aimed at working class Germans, which often make 10-20% of a normal Silicon Valley salary.

The law was pretty obvious in its intent and the law was struck surprisingly recently.

While it’s unrealistic to believe that every bad thing that happens to you is because of discrimination, being part of a commonly discriminated group has an effect of making everything harder.

Lots of people struggle to find a job. Now imagine if on top of that, some additional percentage of jobs are off the table to begin with.

In a way, this reminds me of climate change. You can’t usually point to any one event and definitively say “this was caused by discimination,” but you’re quite aware it’s happening overall.
So agencies are dysfunctional, but not ineffective. And that dysfunction is caused by the GOP “trying to dismantle” agencies—but not by reducing their budgets. (How? When did the GOP have any opportunity to reduce any agency budget meaningfully?)

Also, entitlements like Social Security are an entirely separate category of spending, subject to different rules. That’s not what we’re talking about here.
Apple needs to stop the Mini-LED half measure and get to work on OLED. The only thing blocking me from buying a new MBP and iPad Pro.
It's not a perfect thing, sure. But it's a big step forward. It's hugely better than having to deal with each system separately; I've had days when I've used 4 systems, for example.

As you note with the pricing complexity, there is just a wide divergence of views and interests on how to run a transit system. And I get it; I think there are legitimate reasons people picked those different pricing systems. But they figured out how to overcome that so I can have one card for all of that. And even better, one card that is now my phone.

If people are interested in the history that drives some of what it ended up the way it did, this is a good start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_card

For younger developers who are used to everything being connected, it's really worth thinking about how you'd build a reasonably robust, hard-to-exploit system when many of the important terminals, as on busses, were usually out of contact.
People should absolutely call out toxic work environments as just that. What's lacking is legislation protecting employee rights. Your approach is to cut and run, but ultimately people need to raise their voice for legislation to exist.
I do wonder how much of it is CO2 levels themselves and how much of it is high CO2 being a proxy for poor ventilation.
> I recently was in Netherlands trying to get from the Hague to the islands south of Rotterdam and it was also quite confusing.

You can just swipe your phone (Apple Pay / Google Wallet) or credit/debit card to check in and out (do not forget to check out!) and you're done. Works for all public transport in the Netherlands.

Of course there are also more traditional ways to pay for your ticket, but it does not get much simpler than this imo.
Artists using 3d modeling software actually design and create the model, rigging and animation themselves, they don't tell the software "Metal articulated lamp bouncing across wooden table, 3d render, realistic lighting and shadows" and call it a day.

It's a matter of how much control you have over the end product, with AI it's very little. At best, if you want to be charitable, you could describe the role of the person using AI as an art director, but not an artist.

It's really telling that the frontpage post on the tech-industry forum about coordinated discrimination in the tech industry is being brigaded, yeah. Disappointing, too. I hope we learn what happened here and things are made better.

And if you move a horsehair brush, do you determine where each hair lands? If you spray paint, do you say where each drop lands? We have, for long, handed control to physical random processes. To modify that to land on mathematical random processes is not some categorical shift.
Well, that depends on your depositors not starting a bank run as well.

You can't insure against a sure thing, so it's not actually possible to hedge everything. I don't think SVB necessarily could have done this; there might not've been a position without duration risk for them that actually made them any money.
As another trans person that's been in a similar position before, it's really frustrating how many loops I've gone through where the moment I'd get to some part where it wasn't voice only anymore, you could just hear the tone shift and get rejected shortly after.

Combine that with the current tech market being on a downswing and it's not unreasonable that this would take a while to find a new place.
