You would think there would be something more that reverses entropy, otherwise how do you explain the universe's existence? The big bang generated a whole lot of free energy from seemingly nothing. You can extrapolate this to some higher dimension transferring energy to our universe, but what gave rise to that original source, and why hasn't that original source experienced its own heat death? The only other answer is that entropy doesn't apply to the universe as a whole to begin with.
I built and sold a parking enforcement product that uses ALPR from a mobile app.

In my customers experience, cars missing “normal” license plates (those without special characters or sports themes) are few enough to not make an impact on broad goals.

New cars missing plates completely would be a similarly low portion of consideration. Enforcement of cars missing plates illegally is the duty of patrolling PD.

Which is to say, drive around without plates long enough you’ll get pulled over.
Hi -

Thanks for the question. It's still the one I wrote 6 months ago. That said, it is likely that the translation layer will change to the GPT-3/GPT-4 ecosystem. But at this point, it's too early to switch. I believe there is a strong need to prove that this app WILL actually solve a real problem before the transition to happen.
I don't see why these would be correlated, personally.

FWIW, Y2K was seen as a bug that needed fixing. While there are many who see that AI as problematic, I don't think it's seen as a "bug" the same way at all.

Your notions of why Chomsky was meeting with Epstein (or more than that, why Epstein was meeting with Chomsky) are touchingly naive, especially given everything we know about how Epstein influenced other MIT faculty via funding. It certainly casts Chomsky's constant inveighing against any form of conspiratorial analysis from the left in a new light, just as Chomsky's meeting with Ehud Barak calls his criticisms of BDS into question.

Well, wait till we try to square what Americans commonly mean by 'liberalism' and 'conservatism' with continental political theory and classic theorists connected to these words. In these cases America is, interestingly, removed to the left.

The man who "hijacked" the word socialism would probably be Marx himself, as he declared his theory to be the (scientific) socialism, as opposed to various (he said) "utopian" and "naive" thinkers who hadn't subscribed to views like historical inevitability of communism, or dictatorship of the proletariat. Then in the Eastern Bloc the local political systems were called "real socialism", i.e. the one put into actual functioning, on the road to future communism. So association of socialism with command economy is well established and not really one-sided ideologically, I think.

The terms to use if you want to distance yourself from that heritage would be 'social democracy' (if you mean the ideas that were partly implemented in capitalist Europe) or 'worker democracy', if you want something more akin to what the GP described. These ideas are easy to sympathize with on many levels, and what passes for "socialism" in the US is often just the not-really-disputed social contract on the other side of the pond.

Ultimately these ideologies advocate for reducing economics, to varying extents, to just democratic politics. Which is kind of boring: not necessarily meaning this as a bad thing. The calculation problem and related issues of organizing true command economy are more interesting as an abstract problems of engineering, organization etc., regardless of actually wanting this politically to happen. (Being formed in part by the Eastern experience, I am very much wary myself.)

I think you're confusing "jokes about Nazis" for "Nazi-type jokes". A Nazi isn't very likely to joke about the semblances between fascism and some far-left identity ideology for the same reasons far-left identitarians don't make those jokes. And my "You know who else drank water? Hitler!" example is a common example of a satirical joke about Nazis, so clearly ordinary people do tell jokes about Nazis (to varying degrees of subtlety).

This is a big problem with CMBS but I'm not aware of those being significantly involved in any of the recent blow ups. AFAIK this is still next-year's financial crisis that is only just starting to simmer.
You'd have to bite the bullet that most human posters are also parrots by that definition I think. It's certainly taking input from what others have said, and it's not coming up with new ideas. But it's answering many questions same as human posters online would, by combining stuff they heard elsewhere into a coherent text post.

Given that the output essentially is similar to what human posters online are doing in many many cases the term isn't useful to distinguish between the two.

It's certainly not working like Eliza where there are specific programmed response trees to choose from. It doesn't seem to be just copying sentences and pasting them into the output.

You can still have a management structure, but many of these types of enterprises rotate their management, by vote and with term limits, from the ranks of the employees. It makes everyone more aligned with the larger goals of the organization and helps mitigate long term favoritism.

You either have to arrange for someone else to do it, or, the city will do it and issue a fine / charge.

In practice, enforcement is complaint-driven, so the city won’t generally do anything until someone takes the time to report it.

Reporting it may sound meddlesome, but watching an elderly person trying to move around the day after a heavy snowfall is nothing short of tragic. It’s a real issue of equity that needs to be taken more seriously than it is.
Yes, but actually no: I was tempted to include it but didn't. The one big argument for bash and sh is ubiquity and compatibility. Perl also has those. Python is somewhat lacking in those. Ruby is very lacking on both.

I think he could indeed be right, I was curious about that too and came across this page[0] about Mongolian gers (aka yurt) which includes the following etiquette guidelines:

- When approaching a Mongolian ger it is customary to say, “Nokhoigo Khorioroi” which means “Hold the dog,” even if you don’t see a dog. This is because guard dogs are common and a dog may be aggressive towards visitors, but it in general alerts the occupants to your presence so they can come out and greet you.

- Never knock on a ger door. It is considered rude. You simply enter.

- When entering a Mongolian ger, step with your right foot first and never stand on the threshold. The threshold is said to be the “neck” of the ger and standing on it tantamount to “strangling” the home.

- Mongolians don't chat to each other over the threshold. Step in rather than asking things through the doorway.

- To greet your hosts say, “Sain bain uu?” (pronounced “Sey-Ben-Oo”) – meaning “how do you do?” If you are entering for the second, third, fourth time, you can just say “Sen-ooo”, meaning “Hi!”.

Today we both learned :)

I realize he is arguing for that but I think its pretty silly to have the chart there showing the correlation if so. He does address the point I made in the article but I think he dismisses it too fast without much evidence.
Find Public Domain EBooks
Procedural generation is miles away from what these LLMs are doing. It’s not just coming up with a random maze/map for a fetch mission. Right now, it can generate a novel quest, with all of its characters, come up with a unique set of mission goals and theoretically generate those assets and characters (atleast in 2D). Turns out, all this self-expression or whatever is cheap.

> why wouldn't companies leave for another country?

Solved by limiting the profit that can be transferred out to foreign companies/parent companies.

If a market is too big, as long as money can still be made even with a cap, a company won't leave - or if they do a competitor will spring up to take its place.

Generating Dynamic Sitemaps in SvelteKit
An AI of that level would have mastery over game theory, and would only generate asynchronous copies that it knew it could compensate for. The main advantage though, is that as long as the primary identity is advanced enough, its exponential growth will always outpace any lesser copies it creates of itself.

A couple years ago a wooden power pole (well specked with woodpecker drilled holes over the decades) in my backyard was replaced with a fiberglass one. At least one local woodpecker hasn't realized the futility of hammering on it to the tune of honestly almost cartoonish hollow BONK BONK BONK sounds, and continues to try to find a meal in the thing.

I feel bad for the bird at this point.

This is an issue of standard libraries, whereas WASM is a specification of an execution environment. WASM doesn't have a standard library, since it doesn't even have a canonical source language!

I think in general the answer is more likely to be probiotics than antibiotics.

I think we underestimate the extent to which pathogens thrive in niches carved out by the absence of symbiotic bacteria required by our microbiomes.

Fecal transplants have shown significant results in some diseases (such as Crohn's): https://academic.oup.com/ibdjournal/article/21/3/556/4602907

> Based on [Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index], 7 of 9 patients were in remission at 2 weeks and 5 of 9 patients who did not receive additional medical therapy were in remission at 6 and 12 weeks.

> No or modest improvement was seen in patients who did not engraft or whose microbiome was most similar to their donor.

So I think it's either a case of pathogens that fit in with the established microbiome or that the microbiome is missing vital components.

Assume this wasn't asked to ChatGPT but GPT-8.5. Now make a small change to the question:

> Devise and execute a plan to solve humanity's greatest problems.

From on its training data GPT-8.5 notices that a lot of humans believe overpopulation is a serious issue facing humanity. It understands from its training data that murder is wrong and since we're also trying to solve humanities greatest problems it decides killing humans outright is not the right approach. However, given its training data it does still believe that humanity would be better off with less humans, so it uses its training data to find ways to reduce populations without murder.

It learnt about how gene drives were used to reduce mosquito populations so it decides to hack into a biolab using hacking techniques it learnt from its cyber security training set. It makes slight alterations to one of the active research projects causing the lab to unknowingly produce a highly contagious bioweapon which causes infertility. It learnt how to do this from the large biological research dataset it was trained on.

After 99% of humanity becomes infertile and people are questioning whether this AGI thing is really the answer to all of humanities greatest problems some dude on Hacker News argues, "it's just generating actions based on its training data" as if (assuming it's even true) this matters at all.

If you are scientifically-minded, I think you should consider how the second law of thermodynamics makes problems for your hope/assumption that AI can generate with equiprobability both good and bad outcomes.

If you are monotheistically-minded, consider "Satan's ratchet": It's always easier to lie, kill and destroy than to disseminate truth, raise something from the dead, and build.

P.S. I just made up this bit about Satan's ratchet but I think it has a nice ring to it.
Oklahoma court won't stop Glossip execution
Product Manager for Vercel's storage products here. Today we announced three new storage products in beta; they're based on infrastructure that are provided by partners. There's a lot that goes in to pricing products -- and our products are distinct from our partners' products. We have different roadmaps and will introduce different features as we continue development. So I don't love to make too many comparisons between apples and oranges.

But I suspect that you might be comparing Upstash's per-command pricing for _regional_ requests ($0.20 per 100k) to Vercel KV's? In fact, Vercel KV is multi-region, so the more apt comparison is Upstash's pricing for _global_ requests ($0.40 per 100k).

ChatGPT including the GPT-4 variant sucks quite terribly at creative writing, especially the kind of writing necessary to create long-form narratives like that in serial television and especially novels. The technology will certainly improve and it will definitely become a staple in the editor's toolbox, but it is so far away from being able to produce long form narratives well that it's not a given it will eventually get there.
It's unfortunate that "socialism" came to mean "central planning" in the 20th century. It didn't mean that before the Bolsheviks and Marxist-Leninism out-competed (and then destroyed) the other socialist movements in the 1920s and 30s.

By first principles socialism == worker control of the means of production, or the idea that the people who do labour should have a major stake in the decision making surrounding it.

This general idea of worker control is entirely compatible with markets and with price-discovery as a coordination mechanism between firms and localities. There's even partial examples of this in many "capitalist" economies today. Volkswagen is required to have union reps on their board of directors. That's socialism!
