Historically there's often been a lot of bluster about forcing everyone to the new weird version by this and that date, then backtracking with the dates until the major issues have been resolved with a new major version that reverts the weirdest changes.

Microsoft's work on Windows appears a bit random but they seem to have a working failsafe at the executive group (or board or billg?) level. At least eventually.
The irony of San Francisco progressive mindset is that somehow collectively everyone has decided that it is more humane to let people deteriorate on the harsh streets and eventually die than to forcefully check them in rehabs to at least give them a chance to get their lives back.

I've been following hacker news/YCombinator since ~2008 or so. Back then money was way tighter. It was also way easier to build something impressive. More emphasis fell on the builder. None it takes a more diverse group to really build something truly amazing.
I've known a few of these guys (usually guys, but not always), and I agree they are a very generic type. I also think they can be tremendously beneficial to society as well, even if they aren't to the individuals in their lives. (Steve-Jobs-types, etc.)

I still find them fascinating, because they tend to exist in interesting environments. It's like going to Africa, but not wanting to see any lions.
I don't know what "appropriate" or even "beyond the scope" mean in this context but, having in mind that datetime data needing to be stored is a fact of life that's not going away then I'd say yes, it does belong in JSON.

It also belongs in SQLite.
Hearing all the issues in SF make me believe that all the one-step-at-a-time interventions in the city have no chance of working. There is something fundamentally wrong in the system that gravitate even the highest tax revenues towards a gradual downslope of optimism, public services and general well-being for those who live here. All that I can imagine could work now is a huge shock to the system change that forces things to shift, like, for example, legalizing all drugs, legalizing involuntary commitment, or finding a patch of land 10 miles from any urban area and offering unlimited free drugs to whoever goes there.
There's a lot of games that still don't work.

Fortunately it's an easy way to pick which games are worth my time.
How would you change the system so that it avoids market capture?
I get it’s icky for you, but I think the world is trying to move into a “don’t kink shame consenting adults” phase where there’s less commenting in the vein of “sure sodomy is legal, but personally, I find it icky.” I’m not sure many people in the world are interested in what you and I find icky.

If the 30 year is mentally incompetent and unaware of their future as a caretaker then the issue isn’t age, but abuse of the mentally incompetent. And, again, I don’t think this applies to your intent but it reminds me of people complaining about how hard it is to live as a gay person or interracial marriage, etc etc. Where the various difficulties are noted when discussing if it should be allowed or not. Interracial marriage is a right as long as they are consenting adults.

By the time my toddler was 18 months I'd taught and given him a few things:

* Emotional regulation. When he's upset, hold him and allow him to feel my calm breathing, help him breathe

* How to tell other people that he'd like more of something, that he'd like something to stop, or that he'd like something

* Good connection time by holding him and dancing, playing outside in the grass

* Good connection time by wrestling and tickling. (Plus, I think that kids like this because it helps them learn how to defend themselves)

* Good examples. I'm very good at emotional regulation and very attuned to what I want and need. Same with toward his mom. There are very very few behaviors that I have that I wouldn't be ok with him copying. My behaviors serve me well and I feel content, so I know that if he just mirrors me, which he's likely to, he'll be in a good spot

* Healthy food, minimized exposure to plastics and environmental toxins

* Guided his behavior in a way that makes him enjoyable to be around, which helps him get good loving connection from various people in his life

* As much as possible, I bring him with me and show him the things that I do and how I do them

* Taught him things by focusing on quick positive reinforcement of what I do want, rather than negative reinforcement of what I don't want. This means he's not stressed and trying to avoid bad things, instead he can seek good things

* Responding to him rather than reacting to him

I believe that when parents are calm and content, then following their intuition will lead to great things. That's how I've approached it. I worked really hard for a few years before having kids on becoming more calm, more content, more responding less reacting, creating more emotional safety with my wife and to myself, and getting in touch with my intuition. Then with parenting, I've followed my intuition.

There has been a huge explosion of awesome tooling which utilizes constrained text generation.

Literally the old guy yelling in the street, so yeah, drama much and much drama.

What you say is true, and also isn't anything new to the discussion. Change is awesome, and isn't even the point. It's more about the unsustainable quest for growth that is the foundation of our economy.
I don't know why, but I find this hilarious. Imagine if this style of llm prompting becomes commonplace
To provide some context on why this is important, the IEAs's report "Credible Pathways to 1.5 °C: Four pillars for action in the 2020s" (https://www.iea.org/reports/credible-pathways-to-150c) states:

"Capacity additions of renewables need to triple from 2022 levels by 2030, reaching around 1 200 GW annually, representing on average 90% of new generation capacity each year"
It's pretty clear from the movies that Magneto was a Holocaust survivor. I'm pretty confident that Musk knows this, and was clearly peeved that Soros had recently sold his T$LA holdings. The man's pettiness knows no bounds.
There are bubble domes you can live in, too, but that doesn't really address the underlying problem.
You know the PlayStation Classic mini-console that came out a few years back? They incorporated that puzzle into the console's packaging: the back of the PSClassic's box includes thumbnails for the 20 or so games that come installed, and MGS's thumbnail is just a picture of Meryl's codec convo screen. It cracked me up when I first saw it.
Hmmm... well, I got into it a bit earlier and so when I got to the Mac, I already had some programming experience in BASIC, Pascal, and assembly. So I used HyperCard, but I also learned how to write XFCN and XCMD code resources to add functionality to HyperCard. I used PostScript in the first LaserWriter, but also figured out how to connect it to a terminal and give it PostScript commands directly. I was motivated to teach myself as much as I could... probably in no small part because I was bored with my regular class material.
Wrong, there's no datetime there. Only integer can be used for it in a more space-saving manner. But that means you have to convert and invoke calculation functions. It's error-prone.

Yeah, it's a kind of zoning. But a quite strict one. And one that's not easily abused.

For instance, if you're tax based in Oslo, you would have to "move" to buy a family home in my city and use it as a cabin. And that move on paper has implications. Where you can vote, where your children can go to kindergarten or school, how you're taxed etc. So people don't do it.

I came across an excellent permaculture YouTuber (who is also a professor at Oregon State (I think) and is incredible at drawing diagrams) [0].

Incidentally, based on his videos on the power of plants to filter out things as toxic as heavy metals and some biological wastes [1], I'm very concerned that the "injection well" idea for filling aquifers could result in contaminating the aquifer. Filtering through earth and active ecosystems seems like an important step in recharging aquifers safely.

This post is about "cult leader personalities", not literal "cult leaders".

No, and in fact I mention that the opposite is the case in the paper I released about constrained text generation: https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...

If you ask ChatGPT to generate personal info, say Social Security numbers, it tells you "sorry hal I can't do that". If you constrain it's vocabulary to only allow numbers and hyphens, well, it absolutely will generate things that look like social security numbers, in spite of the instruction tuning.

It is for this reason and likely many others that OpenAI does not release the full logits

The problem with Lisp is that parenthesis are common in regular grammar. {{ is not.

Of course input from the user should be escaped, but prompts given by the programmer may have parenthesis and there's no way to disambiguate between the prompt and the DSL.

LLMs do have explicit world models that can be even manipulated. There are many recent papers on the subject.

If you haven't looked at the accessibility features on your iPhone, you should check them out. There's some interesting stuff there already. Though it's a little awkward to use, the facial gesture functionality is really interesting.

I feel that many features currently focused on accessibility will soon be integrated into the main user interface as AI becomes a more important part of our computing experience. Talking to your phone without a wake word, hand gestures, object recognition/detection, face and head movements, etc. are all part of the future HCI. Live multimodal input will be the norm within the decade.

It's taken a while for people to get used to having a live mic waiting for wakewords, and it'll take them a while to get used to a live camera (though this is already happening with Face ID), but sooner than later, having a HAL 9000 style camera in our lives will be the norm.
I have a LOT of problems with Koresh and the Branch Davidians, but he def wasn't leading a "suicide cult." They were actually the opposite...they believed that in the End Times they needed to stick it out on their property as long as possible even if it came to violence. They stockpiled weapons believing that it would come down to a final showdown between them and the antichrist's forces. Obviously they were unbiblical, and the child abuse is absolutely unforgiveable, but I take issue with people calling the Branch Davidians a suicide cult when that was against their beliefs.

That being said, I think the author is talking about cult of personality types. People with a personality that gears towards being the leaders of a cult, or getting a cult-like status. That is how it reads to me anyway.
Microsoft perfected soft corporate speak before Ballmer was in charge.
Kudos to the guy in the thread yesterday who predicted this exactly.
Yes, they replaced food packaging that was recyclable with paper-based packaging that is not recyclable. I worked there before the transition, occasionaly we'd get an irate customer complaining about the styrofoam and we'd try to explain that it was more recyclable than using paper but most would refuse to hear it.

That said, at the store I worked at, the only things that actually got recycled were the cardboard boxes from the stockroom, and the oil from the fryers. Everything else went into the dumpster.
Some related thoughts, sorted by brevity:

(1) All pathos are healthy behaviors "gone wrong" - wrong time, or, wrong place, or (mostly), wrong magnitude.

(2) I wondered for a very long time: what's the difference between being convinced, and being manipulated? Stumbled across something on the 'net that finally gave an answer: Manipulation begins with diminishment, and (bringing it back to cults), "isolation" is one of the powerful forms of manipulation.

(3) Recently been thinking about "responsibility" in terms of the physics of a 'bounce' -

Drop a ball on sand, it goes thud; the force involved is the weight of the ball. Drop a bouncy ball on concrete, the force is ~2x (stopping the downward motion, then enough for the upward motion).

When someone comes to you and says: "This thing you did had this negative impact on [me/them/us]", if someone rejects any possible responsibility for it, that's a "bounce". It ends up looking like any of the forms of "pushing your reality onto others" - "you do this to me", gaslighting, etc etc etc.
Maybe I'm not "the average HN commenter" because I am deep in this field, but I think the overlap of what these famous experts know, and what you need to know to make the doomer claims is basically null. And in fact, for most of the technical questions, no one knows.

For example, we don't understand fundamentals like these:
- "intelligence", how it relates to computing, what its connections/dependencies to interacting with the physical world are, its limits...etc.
- emergence, and in particular: an understanding of how optimizing one task can lead to emergent ability on other tasks
- deep learning--what the limits and capabilities are. It's not at all clear that "general intelligence" even exists in the optimization space the parameters operate in.

It's pure speculation on behalf of those like Hinton and Ilya. The only thing we really know is that LLMs have had surprising ability to perform on tasks they weren't explicitly trained for, and even this amount of "emergent ability" is under debate. Like much of deep learning, that's an empirical result, but we have no framework for really understanding it. Extrapolating to doom and gloom scenarios is outrageous.
I'm not sure what I prefer because I'm most familiar with Rails. I guess I'm used to type-separation. An individual Rails app could be structured using "engines"[0], which could easily allow for this kind of separation. Each engine will have its own app/ directory which contains models/, controllers/, services/, etc.

The point is that the feature is its own "project" which would likely be loaded in the host application as a gem. I don't think this is actually a strong convention either way in Rails, so it would still be compatible with convention-over-configuration to build an app this way.

(Kinda just thinking out loud. FWIW, I have worked on an application with a similar sort of "engine-primary" structure but not what I currently work on.)

And to mythbust here: The common legend and shallow wikipedia blurb goes that Sharpe called out one shot in the courtroom and made it ("the shot that saved pinball"), which astonished the jury into ruling that pinballs are games of skill.

The reality was that he did make the one shot (and later confessed that that one shot was half luck), but besides that also played for tens of minutes (and some accounts say on two different games), demonstrating all the things a skilled player can do, to such an extent that the outcome was beyond doubt.
I am so mad you made this comment before I got a chance to.
I should add, not being as flippant and careless as ubreakifix and google, I actually looked at how I could mitigate the problem from happening again.

The tiny plastic clip that attaches to the motherboard is brittle and breaks when the ribbon pulls on it as the phone flexs and moves around.

So I used some of the sticky tape provided to hold the battery down, to hold down the connector. So now when the ribbon pulls on the head of the connector, it has to overcome the tape before it can flex the connector and crack it. 9 months later no failure yet so it's too early to know, but I'd bet good money that adding a viscous gluey tape over a connector that was breaking due to flexing around would help keep it together longer. Why couldn't Google do that the first two times they wasted money installing a new battery?
This looks incredible. Wow.

I suppose if that were the case, you'd want to look for plausible counterfactual historical trends and compare whether those make a better reasoning framework for big ideas

I had sort of a horrifying revelatory experience at a Java User's Group a few years ago (back when I erroneously thought that attending Java User's Groups was worthwhile). This was when Hadoop was fairly new, and the speaker was talking about some of the challenges that his group ran into getting it up and running. At some point, a woman interrupted him and said "but when you had an error, why didn't you just google the error message and find the solution?" He was admirably patient with her when he explained that in most cases, there was no error _message_, but actual incorrect behavior (or just nothing at all), but she kept arguing with him as though he was missing something obvious and important. Here was somebody with enough software experience to be attending a Java User's Group who had never encountered (or more likely had just ignored) a problem that a google message search couldn't fix.
