Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. If you look at even the US regulatory environment, for example: FDA approval for new drugs takes decades and billions, and enough said on America's "War on Drugs". The NRC has practically strangled nuclear power in its cradle, and environmental review adds years and millions to practically all new infrastructure. Health insurance regulation and financial regulation have enshrined a few oligopolistic players, with nearly impossible regulatory burdens for any new entrants. It's not merely that any one regulatory agency has run amok. All such agencies are fundamentally incentivized to increase their power and reduce risk by adding regulation in a one-way ratchet, while they have very little incentive to allow innovation except sustained external pressure, which new industries rarely can sustain. Large corporations rarely counterbalance this regulatory creep: they welcome regulation, since they can capture agencies to their will through lobbying and the "revolving-door" and afford a legal staff, while startups and individuals still face impossible regulatory burdens. Don't even get started on copyright. Regulation in America is fundamentally broken, and while it admittedly does manage to "protect" consumers from some of the worst potential abuses, it does so by choking innovation and essentially freezing us in the 1970s.

Why should we believe that AI regulation would be any different? Whatever agency is given power won't just stop at reasonable guidelines. They will likely be pressured by big players like Microsoft to choke off open source, by copyright giants like the RIAA and Disney to stop generation, and by every imaginable constituency to protect their jobs from change. Most importantly, individual open-source development will become prohibitive, and AI will be locked behind corporate APIs. In fact, if you look at sites like LessWrong, AI doomers are openly welcoming regulation precisely because they know an FDA-like agency will stop progress dead in its tracks. Make no mistake, AI regulation will hand enormous power to governments and corporations while denying it to the individual, whatever the good intentions were at the beginning. It is a devil's bargain, and if we as an industry are to take it in the name of "safety", we should at least do it with eyes open, instead of pretending that all that is being asked for is "guardrails" and "common sense".
I think this article gives European cuisine the short shrift on its way to castigate American cuisine for lack of range. There is a whole host of under-the-radar-for-Americans European foods that have different textures, preparation methods, etc., that most Americans when travelling to Europe as tourist are not exposed to, after-all we'll likely just get what we know to be stereotypical (wurst in Germany, Pasta in Italy, etc.) but there are a myriad of local specialties that Americans (and probably Asians and Africans, etc. would find odd or disgusting if they tried them in Europe).

\\Moreover, when we consider "Indian" or "Chinese" cuisine, we're considering all the regional aspects; however, locals there, with some special market/hawker are exceptions, indulge mostly in their regional cuisine which tend to have less expansive palates.

Not sure about the authors performance claims. He doesn't indicate how fast his emulated 68000 is in terms of MIPS or equivalent MHz. It's also constrained by the 8bit bus which might have been wider if IBM had chosen that chip. Certainly would have been wider by the 286 equivalent generation.

> I do think we have lost track of how much computing power we have and how poorly it is used.

I think this is the real lesson to take away from the Switch. The device is woefully underpowered, but developers know there's a huge market out there so they just have to Make It Work. The end result is that many games, especially first party ones, are super well optimized for their hardware. You could see this with the 3DS too, the things those 285MHz could pull off were definitely very impressive.

On PC and other amd64 platforms there's so much raw CPU and GPU compute available that it's possible to get away with performance impacts. Doom Eternal is one of the few well-optimized big games that just seems to play well on any device with a GPU you throw at it. Compare that to some recent releases and you really wonder how bad things must've gotten.

Of course, highly optimized game development takes time, effort, and skill, and that doesn't come cheap. As long as gamers accept the inefficiencies on other platforms, games will continue to be released in a subpar state. Nintendo cares more about the quality and reputation of their brand (in some areas) than it does about making money so it goes the extra mile; I doubt EA or Bethesda care as much as long as they keep making money.

This idea that crashed cars or small planes explode in a ball of fire is from Hollywood. When a car or small plane crashes it just crumbles into hunks of metal debris. It has no relationship to the concept of fire starting.

Every action done here is completely orthogonal to fire risk and completely independent of the fire risk of the region.

That's kind of funny the iOS / Android thing for thieves.

On one hand, it's practically impossible to use an iOS device that has been remotely locked / disabled. So they shouldn't be worth much. This doesn't seem to be the case with some (most?) Android devices?

On the other hand, kids who like to steal things don't want to use Androids :-(

I looked into these guys recently. I do think their heart is in the right place. Like it's obviously a small operation, but I think that's all the better. We don't need another Mozilla foundation. But being small their marketing is a bit sparse and engineer:y so I'll take the opportunity to shill a bit.

They do sort of seem to worry about a lot of the right stuff.

As programmers and engineers we can have an idea and then through some effort just make that thing exist. It's really is tantamount to wizardry.

Sadly it feels like there are more obstacles to this every day, both in terms of literal hurdles like locked down hardware and app stores, but also the (erroneous) notions that you need to host your software in the cloud or use FAANG-scale solutions like kubernetes, or just the Jenga towers of half-baked libraries that make up the technology stacks many developers are stuck with means constant attrition from library churn any time you get anything to work.

And also this weird mentality that's drilled into a lot of inexperienced developers that they need to lower their ambitions, and to stick to building simple things.

I think that sticks with people even as their experience and capacity to produce software grows.

I think it's gotten to the point where many people with the skills to build amazing software just don't understand that this is something they're able and permitted to do.

You get to build software for the sake of software existing and providing a benefit to you, to yourself. If you need something, you get to build it. Software can be used to change your world, the world, it can be an extension of your will.

Programmers obviously get that they can write software, but not that software can be very impactful, it can change lives, even reshape societies.

You don't need to limit yourself to todo apps, text editors and static site generators. You don't need a license or approval or permission to do build crazy ambitious stuff for the sake of crazy and ambitious stuff to exist. Not yet anyway.

Ask HN: Logical problems ChatGPT-4 can't solve?
I know of this one:

A Man wants to bring a Lion, a goat, and Grass across the river. The boat is tiny and can only carry one passenger at a time. If he leaves the Lion and the Grass alone together, the Lion will eat the Grass. If he leaves the goat and the Lion alone together, the goat will eat the Lion.
How can he bring all three safely across the river?

Switching to an ARM SoC and off the (basically dying) POWER architecture was a smart move on Nintendo's part, in order to take advantage of industry economies of scale, etc.

However it also potentially makes them vulnerable to being on the upgrade treadmill that e.g. phone manufacturers have to be on. Expectations and pressure will be there to be on the "next" SoC platform.

But more so it makes them less "unique" and "bespoke" and it becomes very hard to differentiate the Switch from any mass market phone or tablet. It's basically that, but with Nintendo's own OS instead of Android, and along with that their highly sandboxed environment.
You are comparing something perfectly legal with something absolutely illegal, this makes no sense.
Non-programmers don't care about this nearly as much as we do. The prevailing attitude is "Ok sure there are edge cases, but so what? My use case is simple".

And after thinking about it a lot more, I think this attitude is actually more sensible than mine used to be. Why do we as programmers keep trying to fit a square peg into a round hole? Timezones are a political construct, not a mathematical one.

We should address edge cases by deferring to people as much as possible. Oh, you find it annoying to enter an offset? Don't worry about it, it's optional! Your dentist will expect you for your cleaning at 8:00am +/- 5 hours.

If we keep smoothing over the rough edges for our users, the problem will only get worse. Better to make timezones as painful as possible for as many users as possible. They'll eventually vote for something less obnoxious.

Youtube is part of the reason I have an adblock. I do not watch youtube on my phone because of the ads.

Reasonable ads would be fine. 10-15 seconds of ad on a short video, 30 seconds on a longer one. A choice to watch a 3 minute ad to watch a 2 hour video uninterrupted. I kind of long for the banners of days gone by.

But that's not what is going on. They'll play an ad in the middle of a music video. ad after ad after ad. And I get ads in videos because they are "sponsored". It has been designed to be as intrusive as possible to try to extort you out of money. And honestly, I despite them for this. If they can't possibly let music play for 4 minutes without an interruption or two, they can't possibly care if I'm watching for "free" nor care about the folks making their content.

>The effect is going to be that all the innovation happens elsewhere, big AI companies will develop outside Europe.

The EU has rules for aircraft and automobile manufacturing and yet Airbus and Ferrari seem to be able to continue to be world leaders in their fields.

Moreover, there are very few restrictions on many industries in Somalia, yet for some reason it fails to be a hub of innovation.

Regulations don’t immediately mean a flight of intellectual capability to less restrictive places.
In Google/YouTube's defense, this mentality is why we can't have nice things. You think it's cheap to host the content YouTube does? Paying for premium to remove ads is a way of saying "Thank you for providing me this service, instead of displaying me irrelevant ads, just take my money"
The customer has clear cause. Fitness for purpose, warranty, etc. The municipality probably doesn't. If anything, they should try to coordinate a class action lawsuit among consumers.

I think mob stories tend to be gripping. We, especially now so many years removed from the heyday, have a romantic idea about mobsters, always living on the edge. Sure they're on the wrong side of the law, but just barely and they usually keep the violence away from civilians (this is the romantic bit). Some mobsters are bad dudes, yeah, but some are regular Tokyo Joes thrown into a bad situation.

It's easy to take these seeds and blossom them into a tale about an anti-hero you can't help but root for, because you know how it usually ends for people in this situation (in the ground or behind bars), but you can't help but think, will it be different, just this one time?

Good question. BB is certainly an upper bound.

Consider the problem P_f of getting an input x and having to compute a value >= f(x), where both the input and the output are encoded in unary. We know that BB grows faster than any computable function, so P_BB cannot be computable.

Suppose for contradiction that there was a computable problem Q with time complexity Omega(BB(x)). This means there exists a Turing Machine M that computes Q and a function T(n), such that for each n there exists an input y of length n, such that M halts after exactly T(n) steps. Moreover, T(n) = Omega(BB(x)).

Then we can construct a Turing Machine M' that computes P_BB. The idea is to run a TM for Q on a length x input and counting the number of computation steps. That number is then larger than BB(n) and thus a valid output for P_BB. Formally:

Let M be a TM that computes Q. Without loss of generality we assume that M uses a binary tape alphabet. Since T(n) = Omega(BB(x)), there exists per definition a C > 0 and an k_0 > 0 such that for all k > k_0 it holds that C*BB(k) <= T(k). M' now operates as follows. Given a unary input x, M' first checks if |x| <= k_0. If yes, M' just outputs BB(|x|). Otherwise, M' enumerates all bitstrings y of length |x|. For each y, M' then runs Q on y step-by-step while incrementing a unary counter c_y. Finally, M' outputs the longest such c_y, divided by C. Per assumption, the longest c_y satisfies C*BB(|x|) <= c_y, so c_y/C >= BB(|x|).

This implies that P_BB is computable, contradicting our initial observation. Consequently, such a Q cannot exist.

In fact, this proof works for any function that grows faster than all computable functions. This means that BB as an upper bound is not tight. For example log(BB) also satisfies this property.

Did you just play the tutorial and stop when you didn't have a master sword half an hour into the game?

Weapons are literally everywhere. You kill a monster, it will generally drop it's weapon. They're scattered all over the ground. They're in chests. There is never a lack of weapons, and that is one of the core points of the game.

Literally the only way you could be stuck with tree branches is if you stuck to the opening part of the Great Plateau or intentionally pretended all the weapons didn't exist.
