Animals have a dual strategy.

They can be part of the family or they can be a working animal.

> Is there a direct connection between falling birth rates and treating animals as if they were beloved children?

I could see treating animals as children being caused by falling birth rates. The opposite seems unlikely, since people have kept pets for a very long time.
I wonder if an app can spoof the ID they use and pretend to be WhatsApp.

I guess the Twitterer can test by disabling mic permissions for WhatsApp and check later if it's still "using" the microphone.
If the eu makes those laws then it will exclude itself from all ai development, push ai to other countries, and lead to an ai brain drain.

I said “has value” not “runs.”

I can virtualize Disk Defragmenter on a Windows 98 VM, but what value does that have?

I can virtualize Visual Studio ‘97, but what value does that have?

The examples of old pay-once software that has no value to today is basically endless. Even the ones that still have value eventually get an open source competitor that surpasses them.

For example, Gimp is certainly better than some very old versions of Photoshop, and a modern Linux distribution is better than an old version of Windows (even if you believe Windows 11 to be the best OS currently available).
That’s what I thought too but I went and reread that part. He’s saying something else.

The American companies like Google/OpenAI (trying to export AI globally) are on one side, opposing them are Europeans (who want AI to be controlled, licensed, and regulated). Together, these two regimes are the Catholic Church and mainstream Protestantism of AI.

Opposing both these sides are open source AI models. He calls this group radical reformers like the Amish.

Yeah, don’t ask. This much brilliance in way above my pay grade.
The difference between societal standards and expectations is one of the reasons I think the efforts to build such content filtering/restrictions into the models themselves is a bad idea. Between uncertainty and the variation around the world we would be much better off if we embraced modular pipelines and tooling to make them easier, plug my American culture value filter in after my global human text generation tool, and serve that up to my American customers, plug my French culture value filter into the global model and serve it up to my French customers… much better than pretending there are global standards of morality for written content … there are obviously some standards people agree on in the real world of physical interaction between humans and other humans, animals, private property and so on … but what constitutes offensive text is nowhere near as universal.

I read it as "let's not discuss sex and violence for the sake of this argument because it will get a rise from people and they will hyperfocus on that and not the general issue", and let's bring up some other example that shouldn't derail people instead, but is still the same type of problem.
Having been a seminary class president, scout, priesthood holder, just not a missionary or really active member, born and raised in Utah, I will tell you one interesting contradiction about Mormons is the extent to which they disown their past and at the same time still have many ideas from that time circulating around in a particular way. I would think it's similar to say how some Catholics may be down with the whole thing right now and yet still aren't "up-to-date" with the Catholic church's official position on things, for instance post Vatican II. Some not all.

I would doubt that this sort of prophesy is a genuine front-of-mind-concern today by the people running this operation at the church. Preparing for the second coming could be a more sincere answer coming from them, but if such an event were to occur I think it would make money worthless, so that doesn't make sense to me.

I think Clojure syntax is more intuitive than CL , at least to someone who has not spend a lot of time in CL
One e.g. I can see for "destructuring"

(let [ [a b c] [1 2 3]] (+ a b c))

as opposed to

(multiple-value-bind (a b c) (values 2 3 5)
(+ a b c))

Also datastructres maps, sets sequence abstraction in Clojure seem more Organic...in CL its feels like bolted on
Athlete turned overweight is so common. They keep up their diet as they grow older but not their exercise. Opposed to someone who have the same diet their whole life and only occasionally exercised, they'd just maintain their weight.
This seems like attributing intent where there is none.

AI hype guys on Twitter work pro bono. Nobody pays them they just shill whatever the latest thing is.

Google has no central AI strategy because the company has weak leadership and is largely directionless.

The distributed actions of a lot of people does not amount to any concerted plan.

iOS app "Friday" lets you use to talk to ChatGPT. It seems to be just simple glue (I'm sure there are many similar ones) between speech recognition, GPT, and text-to-speech, but the end result is that when you're bored you can have fun discussions without typing.

That sounds cool - not only for concerts, but also for sports matches etc. But the thing is, why do we need a centralized platform like Facebook, er, Meta, for that? Much better to have an open standard with which everyone can stream a live concert in VR, or offer an application (like Zoom, Teams, ...) for VR meetings? I would say tying VR to Meta is holding it back more than helping to spread the technology...
LTE/3G/CDMA modem hanging off the can bus usually with some sort of controller. You do not have to enable it. The original use was to track vehicles during the loan pay off and remote shut them off for lack of payment. This includes GPS and other telemetry. They then added the 'buy wifi' package that talked to that. They basically wanted their own onstar. It made it easier to sell the cars/trucks into fleets such as rental companies. If I put anything on the CAN bus that device can see it all. Decode what this spids mean is a diff story, but it is pretty raw and unencrypted.
IMO the three most important reasons we use computers are:

- correctness

- performance

- automation

(We basically still suck at all three.)

As I understood it, the talk mainly addresses the third point. We write inflexible concretions that require a buttload of work, maintenance and resources to achieve mediocre things.

Sussman is pushing programming and software design into directions that break away with this limitation, often through powerful general principles and techniques. The book "Software Design and Flexibility" explores this and provides a variety of examples and advice.

> Why does her choice gets to win?

It doesn’t unless the company makes the decision to let it “win.”

Some people prefer working at companies that are 100% in person. Some prefer 100% remote. Some are OK with some type of hybrid arrangement.

If a person is working at a company with policies they don’t like, either they work to get the policies changed, they find a job with policies they do like, or they live with the policies they dislike and keep the current job.

Just like people who prefer in-person work aren’t going to get their way at all companies, people who prefer remote work aren’t going to get their way at all companies.
Would be interesting to see how good LLMs are at generating code for this.

As I see it, state machines are a json serializable representation of logic.

We also have json schema for representations of valid inputs. GraphQL or similar as representations for fetching data. And of course jsx for rendering views.

Put all these as a Venn diagram, what are the overlaps?

Can we use these constraints as a way to generate robust and consistent apps?
> Enjoy responsibly. You are responsible for whatever you do with the output of these models, just like you are responsible for whatever you do with a knife, a car, or a lighter.

The problem is: if I do something with a knife, say I threaten someone to stab them, I can and will get charged by the court for that crime. If I use AI to create content that incites violence (say, I create a video alleging a Quran burning), I would not be held liable for the consequences of my action.

The author's POV completely ignores the disparity in liability in the digital world and "digital ethics" in general.

It's like the FedEx Ground model. Amazon is paying the contracted service provider (BTS) X amount for the route + Y amount for every stop and package, and fines them for various service failures and issues.

It's on the service provider to then use that income to pay their drivers appropriately themselves.

BTS rolled over because they literally can't do anything from a management perspective regardless if Amazon won't give them any more money to do their job and pay downwards to its employees. Amazon will just simply choose to stop doing business with BTS as a whole and move on from this and screw them all over.

>It’s like listening to a mad scientist connect totally unrelated (seemingly) events.

Why a mad scientist and not a mad junkie? Or just some clueless language model, artificial or not? I think we tend to make this assumption that things that seem complicated _are_ complicated, and not just random bs, and that assumption no longer holds.

>E.g., I don’t at all understand the linkage between current events and the schism between the Catholic Church and Protestants denoms.

That's not why. It's just a marketing spin on synthetic leather, and the marketing choice is both because veganism got popular and seen as a positive thing, and because PU leather, faux leather etc has established connotations as inferior substitutes to leather. They don't want you to feel that they cheap you out on the good thing.

And the car industry totally does the same. Look, for example, here:

Both are putting their preferences above the preferences of others. It’s just what people do.
Most people expect more from being in shape than just not being fat. I expect to look good without my shirt on and have at least some endurance.

For that you probably need at least 3h of decent training per week. After you add changing, showers, etc, it's a commitment of 5-6h a week. Quite a hobby. I certainly consider it a hobby.

I think you are missing the point entirely.

If you want to know what the consensus of a specific echo chamber would be (aka, what the stereotypical pov is), having models trained to represent that echo chamber would be incredibly valuable imo.

If you want a sum of all echo chambers, you will obviously need the echo chambers to sum first.
> (from the Wikipedia article on White Horse prophecy) "It was given by Edwin Rushton in about 1900, and supposedly made in 1843 by Joseph Smith, Jr."

That seems like a pretty unsubstantiated source of an esoteric belief (I would hardly call it a doctrine of that church). If you look back at the actual teachings of Latter Day Saints leaders over the last 40+ years, you'll be hard-pressed to find any evidence that this "White Horse" prophecy is a commonly held doctrine in the church [1].

Tokyo (and many other cities, particularly in Asia) have all three.

It’s unlikely US cities can achieve all three. Reliability might be achievable. Cleanliness and safety I have my doubts.

Fortunately wind power and solar power are often seasonally reversed in many parts of the world (ie, lots of wind in winter, more solar in summer), which helps a lot too. See for example wind levels in the North Sea[1] where there is the most wind in January and December, and least in July. Perfect for Nordics!

(And of course with pumped storage it is perfectly feasible to power for days or weeks off storage anyway)

I suspect the correlation is valid, but mistaken for causation.

For example, areas with auto emissions tests tend to have worse air quality. Emissions tests don't cause worse quality, but air quality concerns beget emissions testing.

To me, the this is just a corollary of the fact that any human system is susceptible of becoming corrupt. Therefore, human systems should be created with a built-in self-destruct function, so that once they have lived past their initial purpose they collapse in the least harmful way possible so that then another newer and better system can take its place.
