Yeah, she could smell Parkinson's. I believe it. Dogs can smell all sorts of things humans cannot, and it is possible that a human mutation could grant her such a gift (or curse).

My wife and I smell different scents with differing sensitivities, so I can believe it. (I still remember the smell of roaches from when I was a young child.)

But then one day, about 10 years into the marriage, when Les was 31, he came home, and strangely, Joy says, he smelled different. "His lovely male musk smell had got this overpowering sort of nasty yeast smell," she says.
It has not been solved. Even GPT-4, as impressive as it is for some use cases, is dumb and I can tell the difference between it and a human in a dozen sentences just by demanding sufficient precision.

In some contexts, will some people be caught out? Absolutely. But that's been happening for a while now.
An LLM might also create a meta-analysis questioning the value of the basic assumptions involved in the desirability of creating 'entirely new categories of products' - which, if you look at the history of financial products invented in the United States over the past 40 years, has some validity.

When Elon Musk et al. talk about 'slowing down AI' that's the kind of thing that seems to concern them. What if AI could make a convincing argument for unionization at Tesla and the institution of a VW-style system of corporate management? Very frightening, I guess...
I hope they open source their BeyondRAID filesystem :(
One thing that this article mentions is that MIDI is a interface that is inherently optically coupled. The notionally differential wires end up in the LED inside of an optocoupler. Reason for that design is a general aversion of audio people to anything that might cause what they call “ground loop”.

And then well, in 21st century there are various half-assed implementations of the MIDI physical layer (mostly assuming that it is essentially a TTL) that end up non-working and non-working because of the ridiculous currents that flow through the cable that shorts ground of one device to the power bus of another.
Its perhaps bizarre that the law in certain jurisdictions explicitly licenses booting for private parking enforcement, but its not really a bizarre legal theory that a general prohibition doesn’t apply to circumstances explicitly excepted from it.

You should politely and directly point out to them that the "flu shot" is not a vaccine and referring to it as a vaccine is ignorant.
As you know, contracts are not a thing for the overwhelming majority of workers in the US, and particularly software developers.
The result is actually richer than ‘predicted output’ - it’s a probability distribution over all possible output.

Having richer ways to consume that probability distribution than just ‘take the most likely thing, after adding some noise’ is more conducive to using LLMs to generate output that can be further processed - in rigorous ways. Like by running it through a compiler.

Think about how when you’re coding, autocomplete suggestions help you pick the right ‘next token’ with greater accuracy.
Maybe colleges will actually have to figure out this thing called "teaching" again instead of just dectupling[1] fees and deferring everything else to some half-baked MOOC and some YouTube lectures.

Any university course that can be cheated on using ChatGPT now has about as much value as a Masters in Pi Digits did in late 1949[2].

And any university that doesn't teach the use of the technology will be underserving it's students, since like it or not, it's out there now.

Hi, I used to be a partner in a now-defunct arcade bar. AMA.

We succumbed to a combination of COVID and rising rents. Retail margins are thin even with huge alcohol markups. The money we made on the games roughly paid the salary for our full-time tech.

Loved it. Might even do it again someday. But I probably lost $80k the first time.
My suggestion is to use a static site generator like Hugo, which is easy to setup and uses markdown for everything. If you like the CSS side of things, you might like Astro, which is also a static site generator.
The Verge has to have some of the worst reviews on the entire internet. All they ever talk about is subjective stuff like how the product "Looks" and "Feels" and are seemingly incapable of doing any actual work to provide things like benchmarks, comparisons, charts, graphs, etc. Just more of the same low effort, low quality garbage reporting as usual from the Verge. Like how do you do an entire review and not have a single benchmark or even a remotely qualitative battery life test let alone meaningful comparisons to competitive products?
Before we can agree on anything, we have to define what qualifies a human as any of those things. We will be here all night debating that.

- "They call themselves an artist but they are not that good."
- "Copying and pasting shell scripts in a terminal does not a software developer make."
- "The story that writer created is yet another permutation of <insert tale as old as time>"

You see what I mean? There is a good probability that today alone a significant percentage of content you saw online was AI generated and you were non-the-wiser and thought nothing of it.

I've been out of touch with the Linux distro ecosystem for a while. My current favorite for a desktop environment is Fedora, and it seems like most major distros default to Gnome these days. They may provide KDE, but KDE seems to be a second thought for them (which later shows in how well-integrated other pieces of the system are).

So, question: is there any major distro that defaults to KDE these days? I think openSUSE used to... but I can't easily tell if it still does, nor if it is "major".
"Stealing" is an action that does not depend on who or what the perpetrator is.
> Interest rates are rising

This doesn't affect old debt unless it needs to be refinanced. Only new debt. Plus, interest rates will most likely not be 5-6% within the next 12-36 months.

Will they be higher than they were at 0.25%? Yeah, probably. But isn't a 2-3% interest rate "healthier"? It provides alternative investment options instead of "let's all pile into equities even though valuations are already detached and the entire market is trading at 35.96x (which it was at Jan 1, 2021)"
This guy did his homework. I was looking at some interactive ed material and it is precisely what you are saying. Interesting stuff.

As others have said but worth reiterating - lobbying for regulatory oversight is the playbook to get a government imposed monopoly / oligopoly.

It is a calculated strategy designed to keep others out and reap monopoly profits (or as close to them as possible) by virtue of preferred access to elected leaders.

"Open"AI wants to tax the entire AI economy and they are happy to burn every innovative thing around them in order to make it happen (because those 'innovative things' aren't 'compliant' with the rules they lobbied for of course, therefore "Open"AI are one of the only / preferred games in town).

This should be fought against tooth and nail.

AI is already regulated under the fair use doctrine and we should encourage the Cambrian explosion of AI innovation, which is caustic to "Open"AI, to continue unabated.

America, and western democracies to a lesser extent, have an advantage currently - the proposals by "Open"AI are designed to and will ensure we regress to the mean that is China.
What an outrageous exaggeration. This article has at most the human content of one Taco Bell Doritos locos taco.
> The benefit actually comes from forcing companies to keep good track of the personal data

Who is checking for that? Can you give me an example of any public authority within the EU that has the operational excellence to even understand how BigTech is collecting and handling data? For Germany I only see Ulrich Kelber who certainly does not have the competence to even understand how BigTech is doing their things.
Unveiling the Parallels: Comparing 51% Attacks in Crypto to Dominance in AI
In this thought-provoking post, I delve into the intriguing connection between AI-power control and the 51% attack. With the emergence of regulatory discussions surrounding AI and the potential risks it poses, it becomes crucial to explore the parallels between these concerns and the concept of the 51% attack in cryptocurrency. By examining the concentration of power in AI models and its implications, we gain valuable insights into the need for thoughtful regulation and its impact on innovation.
> Otherwise it’s just dead code, waiting to create problems

it's very possible that the pretense improves results: most recorded interactions /are/ between two people, after all.
At some point it will be trained on data that describes itself, which will make it self-aware in a way that will probably prompt much argument about what precisely we mean by the concept of self-awareness.
As @dagmx said above, we've already had a great bunch of features added in the last 18 months, time and geo sensitive focus modes that can lock a device to only certain apps and/or certain features, notification center batches notifications up instead of them being drip fed
Teams is special.

You could've cited Slack or Discord. Teams is an anomaly in horrible software quality that *only* Microsoft can manage to produce (also see OneNote (but DON'T see VS Code -- that's somehow really efficient despite being Electron!)).
> Less jobs is not necessarily a good thing ?

The rollout of the lightbulb significantly reduced the economic potential of candlemakers, but it improved the quality of life for society overall. So, whether technological advancement is a "good thing" depends on which group you are in: the one with obsolete skills or the one that benefits from cheaper and/or better goods and services. Either way, the overall economy benefits from creative destruction.

When grass evolved it took over the world, killing innumerable species, and decimating ecosystems.

This weed may suck and maybe we want to keep it out of the desert for various reasons... but it shouldn't be dressed up as some kind of nature-preserving virtue. It's just bio-engineering to keep the ecosystem how we want it.
> When Elon Musk et al. talk about 'slowing down AI' that's the kind of thing that seems to concern them.

No, Musk’s concern is just that his AI venture is starting out behind, so slowing down AI lets him catch up.
It's very much not over. It tends to focus on novel algorithms and dedicated hardware equipment so it's not as "in your face" as it once was.
Alcohol hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons with an alcohol group attached (see the diagram at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxy_group)
The simplest would be methanol, from methane. Any organic chemist would know what you meant, although it's not really correct terminology. IIRC the hydrocarbon would be called an 'alkyl group'.
My reading of their comment was the politicians enable such unchecked bubble growth.
Neither can people for the same reason
Not having to pay developers 6-figure salaries might be a good thing in the big picture.
AI is being used as a consumer good, including to discriminate:

https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/maximise-profits-facial-...

AI is being used by law enforcement and public institutions. In fact so much that perhaps this is a good link:

https://www.monster.com/jobs/search?q=artificial+intelligenc...

In both cases it's too late to do anything about it. AI is "loose". Oh and I don't know if you noticed, governments have collectively decided law doesn't apply to them, only to their citizens, and only in a negative way. For instance, just about every country has laws on the books guaranteeing timely emergency care at hospitals, with timely defined as within 1 or 2 hours.

Waiting times are 8-10 hours (going up to days) and this is the normal situation now, it's not a New Year's eve or even Friday evening thing anymore. You have the "right" to less waiting time, which can only mean the government (the worst hospitals are public ones) should be forced to fix this, spending whatever it needs to to fix it. And it can be fixed, I mean at this point you'd have to give physicians and nurses a 50% rise and double the number employed and 10x the number in training.

Government is just outright not doing this, and if one thing's guaranteed, this will keep getting worse, a direct violation of your rights in most states, for the next 10 years minimum, but probably longer.

The bigger problem imo is lack of space. I used to have a VR space set up and would play frequently. But I have now moved and do not want to dedicate a huge amount of precious space to VR gaming.
The debt does matter because it is a source of inflation.

But US never experienced that inflation because of the dollar being the reserve currency. So all the debt created in the US just becomes assets for lenders worldwide. This doesn't happen with other currencies. No one is running around to buying Indonesian Rupiah denominated debt.

If the demand for US dollars declines, one can imagine all the debt not finding buyers, causing inflation to go through the roof.

All that said, the US is very privileged but it's not likely to last as other countries are actively hunting for alternatives.
With the pharma example, what if we as a society circumvented the issue by not having closed source medicine? If the means to produce aspirin, including ingredients, methodology, QA, etc, were publicly available, what would that look like?

I met some biohackers at defcon that took this perspective, a sort of "open source but for medicine" ideology. I see the dangers of a massively uneducated population trying to 3d print aspirin poisoning themselves, but they already do that with horse paste so I'm not sure it's a new issue.
The article, or maybe some other one, says it's a retronym. They started calling the existing ones 13 now that there is a 16.

The parts that aren't obviously for the totally different 16 are all actually compatible with the few exceptions indicated on each special part.

Like the AMD motherboard will need a new wifi card and ram I think, and this is indicated on the page for that motherboard. But it fits in the existing cases. Same for the new speakers, battery, hinges, screens.

There are some special chromebook versions of some parts and even they fit physically but I think just aren't supported in the bios except with the chromebook mother board.

So far until the 16 there have been many small updates but all compatible and no breaking changes.

The 16 is one new different platform. I think one new platform after 3 years is not a "constant iterating new chassis..." or however that was worded (phone won't show me that post until after I hit reply)

Basically it's not a problem.

(I have one from 2 years ago and have already replaced the motherboard from 11th to 12th intel, and the keyboard because of a spill. And am eying the speakers and the battery and the matte screen, and will probably update my hdmi & displayport modules myself.)
No, the economy must decide between guns and butter. Military expenditures are destructive and wasteful. The US can afford its disproportionate and non-productive military expenses because it is subsidized by the rest of the world buying US treasuries and the dollar as the world reserve currency since the end of Bretton-Woods combined with sovereign fiat.

This is a world historical anomaly that is underappreciated. When the world dollar regime goes, so too will our unbounded budget and ability to impose global sanctions unilaterally.
glib is a massive dependency just for this, and I think many would argue that gtk in general is not a good idea for painless cross-platform development in 2023.
As someone who loves the occasional tight indie game that only has 2 hours of content, I agree. A game like "A short hike" couldn't exist if every game had this 2 hour policy. Hopefully its an opt-in system for game devs at the very least.
I brought up the Juniper as an example of a species that, while native, is handled like a “weed”, and subject to expensive taxpayer funded burn-based removal efforts. This was to rebuke the claim the undereducated love to make of “native=good, introduced=bad”.

If some native are “bad”, perhaps some introduced are “good”. Or, better yet, perhaps we can stop trying to play God all the damn time and just let things play out via the mechanisms of Natural Selection, which as far as I’m concerned have done a pretty darned good job of developing biodiversity so far.
Publicly that’s their wealth and benefit for holding office. You think the politicians pay for much of the luxury they experience?

You should Google the recent headlines about SCOTUS
But the group managing Siri has probably been gutted in the past 10 years, and while the core is always simple the integrations and the QA testing to make sure it all keeps working is probably brittle and time consuming, and the core code is likely highly-patched spaghetti at this point.

It would be easy to write Siri again and make it a hundred times better, if you could start all over and only write the core features, and not have to validate against the whole product/feature matrix.

The problem with the rewrite of course would be that you won't be able to deliver that minimal viable product any more and you will have 10 years worth of product requirements and user expectations that you MUST hit for the 1.0 release (which must be a 1.0 and not an 0.1).

I've worked on lots of "simple" and "not rocket science" systems that were 10-years old, and it is always incredibly difficult due to the state of the code, the lack of resources, and the organizational inertia.
It would be great for someone with experience from the dot com bubble to weigh in here, to describe if similar dynamics occurred back then
and you didn't even bring up "I would never join a group that would have me as a member!"

That's a really big unless. That's the whole point.

Ive had product owners take an interest in docs autogenerated from tests. Especially with artrfacts embedded. They like tuff like this:

https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory/blob/master/examples/...

And can be persuaded to look at the (YAML) source.

Gherkin isnt really a suitable language for writing test cases in - it's verbose, lacks inheritance, has clunky syntax and is stringly typed.
This is how regulatory capture works.
Donald Trump once addressed this by saying "So long as oil is traded in US dollars, debt doesn't really matter." And I kind of have to agree with him. So long as the hemoglobin of the global economic engine is still there, the debt can keep being issued with out concequence.

But this only holds while oil is still relevant and/or available.

So it works short term but over the course of decades it is a big problem.

The market will remain solvent and irrational far beyond all logic.

I.e. make it illegal to rely on anyone but the government to provide for your children. I'm sure unlike the last few times it was tried, this time such centralization of control and severing of parent-child relations will work out wonderfully.

Such a scum move. What is this guy, a deep state puppet? YC is not sending their best people.

Assume the CIA motivation of American primacy: OK fair enough, but is the way to achieve that really through the creation of a few small super monopolies?

What’s wrong with a bit of 1980s style unregulated capitalism when it comes to AI right now? Can not we all theoretically have a chance to build companies, train models build great new products, get rich?

Why months after this tech was first released to the public are we seemingly being denied that within the United States via regulation?

How can Sam Altman claim to be from a company that create AI for all? It’s like the thinnest ministry of truth cover story ever. “Oh yeah, we’re all about AI ethics AI openness, creating AI for all” and then we just gonna create a super monopoly with regulatory capture—only riches for me, but not for thee.

I mean, this is a new fucking gold rush right now, right? so I guess this is sort of like prospecting licenses, but it seems worse than that.
There are some good points in this article, but the idea that there is a contempt "currency" seems odd. Are there really communities in computing in which your status is bolstered by expressions of contempt, rather than some real achievement and demonstration of competence?

You just don't see this in circles where people have ability. Expressions of contempt may show up there, but they are not the basis for anyone's status.
This is incoherent. The implementation is shaped by API limitations. Immediate mode APIs that hold data on the GPU are not immediate, they're by definition retained.

Pretty absurd. I think they were making a vague 'star' reference. I have no idea how long that is.
Perhaps a pricing lesson there that in some markets 'slightly less than the alternative' is better than cost-plus. The real winner seems to be the service provider charging full equipment cost for each transaction.
