You probably need to study the Complex, get to know it really well, almost, but not entirely, embrace it, and only then ditch it in favor of Simple.

I mean, it could just be that your simple solutions have been missing something, maybe something crucial, or you lacked the understanding of the mindset of people loving their complex stuff, which presented a communication barrier.
I'm sure I listened to a scifi short story like this recently - but it was just text responses. Is a strange and interesting thought - I know that even listening to the voices of my children when they were little, can be really emotional feeling for me.

Having a deceased relative respond would be really odd, but could be soothing. What an odd world we live in now.
Cash has been rejected by most people due to its poor security? I have to ask for a source on that. Cash is still the most popular form of money, and if you have low trust in your government or institutions/live in a corrupt society, is more secure than other options.
The language semantics matter greatly.

GHC with `-fllvm` is not going make Haskell any easier to compile just because it's targeting LLVM. Fortran is (relatively!) easy to make fast because the language semantics allow it to. Lack of pointer aliasing is one of the canonical examples; C's pointer aliasing makes systems programming easier, but high-performance code harder.

You can easily manipulate results in a lab test too by messing with the environment and cherry picking results. And focusing on different outcomes.

I'm pretty sure same religious conservatives will claim that issues they saw did come up. While the other extreme would just shrug off the same issues as non-issue. Different people value different things... More at 11.

> You can do bad things with it but people who believe we're on the brink of singularity, that we're all going to lose our jobs to chatgpt and that world destruction is coming are on hard drugs.

Geoff Hinton, Stuart Russell, Jürgen Schmidhuber and Demis Hassabis all talk about something singularity-like as fairly near term, and all have concerns with ruin, though not all think it is the most likely outcome.

That's the backprop guy, top AI textbook guy, co-inventor of LSTMs (only thing that worked well for sequences before transformers)/highwaynets-resnets/arguably GANs, and the founder of DeepMind.

Schmidhuber (for context, he was talking near term, next few decades):

> All attempts at making sure there will be only provably friendly AIs seem doomed. Once somebody posts the recipe for practically feasible self-improving Goedel machines or AIs in form of code into which one can plug arbitrary utility functions, many users will equip such AIs with many different goals, often at least partially conflicting with those of humans. The laws of physics and the availability of physical resources will eventually determine which utility functions will help their AIs more than others to multiply and become dominant in competition with AIs driven by different utility functions. Which values are "good"? The survivors will define this in hindsight, since only survivors promote their values.

Hassasbis:

> We are approaching an absolutely critical moment in human history. That might sound a bit grand, but I really don't think that is overstating where we are. I think it could be an incredible moment, but it's also a risky moment in human history. My advice would be I think we should not "move fast and break things." [...] Depending on how powerful the technology is, you know it may not be possible to fix that afterwards.

Hinton:

> Well, here’s a subgoal that almost always helps in biology: get more energy. So the first thing that could happen is these robots are going to say, ‘Let’s get more power. Let’s reroute all the electricity to my chips.’ Another great subgoal would be to make more copies of yourself. Does that sound good?

Russell:

“Intelligence really means the power to shape the world in your interests, and if you create systems that are more intelligent than humans either individually or collectively then you’re creating entities that are more powerful than us,” said Russell at the lecture organized by the CITRIS Research Exchange and Berkeley AI Research Lab. “How do we retain power over entities more powerful than us, forever?”

“If we pursue [our current approach], then we will eventually lose control over the machines. But, we can take a different route that actually leads to AI systems that are beneficial to humans,” said Russell. “We could, in fact, have a better civilization.”
I think there were a few factors here: it was just my side project, I had to combine it with my daily work and learn React at the same time, working on art also took some time.
Nice singular data point
This is neat stuff. You went against the grain by ditching Docker and K8s, and it's paying off. Alpine packages and LXD feel like a power move that's flying under the radar for many of us who are stuck in the Docker/K8s world. Kudos for hacking together something that works so well for your needs.

I'm curious about how you handle networking, security, and any other OS-level configs that Docker/K8s ecosystems typically manage. How has your experience been in these areas with the LXD/Alpine combo?

Also, I hope you're considering expanding PAKman's support for other build environments. The simplicity you're describing is super tempting! Keep up the good work.
Yeah. Regulation is fine, if thoughtfully done. "Licensing" is ridiculous. We all know the intent - OpenAI gets the first license along with a significant say in who else gets a license. No thanks.

The article claims that Druid doesn't use damage tracking for rendering, but this is not true, or at least not reasonably so. Druid does track damage regions and pipes this all the way to the OS. The only exception is macOS, where the regions are still tracked but not fully connected to the OS. There is an abandoned PR that even adds the connection.

That said, not using Druid for a DAW project is a fine choice. Doubly so for a new project, as it was correctly pointed out in the article that Druid is now in maintenance mode.
This analysis applies equally to all kinds of incredibly destructive revanchism, such as Nazi Germany's claims on the Sudentenland or Russia's claims on Ukraine. It has never once been righteous.
Apple already does all existing AI stuff locally. The main one being categorizing images in your Photos library.
The Mario Party series often implemented "strange game modes" where you had to do things like blow on the controller microphone just enough, etc.

They're fun for very short party games; but with many you could see how they'd be horribly annoying over an entire feature-length game.
It's very sad that people lack the imagination for the possible horrors that lie beyond. You don't even need the imagination; Hinton, Bengio, Tegmark, Yudkowsky, Musk, etc. are spelling it out for you.

This moment, 80% of comments are derisive, and you actually have zero idea how much is computer generated bot content meant to sway opinion by post-GPT AI industry who see themselves as becoming the next iPhone-era billionaires. We are fast approaching a reality where our information space breaks down. Where almost all text you get from HN, Twitter, News, Substack; almost all video you get from Youtube, Instagram, TikTok; is just computer generated output meant to sway opinion and/or make $.

I can't know Altman's true motives. But this is also what it looks like when a frontrunner is terrified at what happens when GPT6 is released and if they don't, the rest of the people who see billionaire $ coming their way are close at your heels trying to leapfrog you if you stop. Consequences? What consequences? We all know social media has been a net good, right? Many of you sound exactly like the few remaining social media cheerleaders (of which there were plenty 5 years ago) who still think Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, isn't causing depression and manipulation. If you appreciated what The Social Dilemma illuminated, then watch the same people on AI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ
It has not disappeared from enterprise and this has nothing to do with Java. XML is still very good as a document format, with powerful validation capabilities (XSD) and powerful language to do transformation of documents (XSLT), searching documents (XPath). It is still used for a reason.

In addition there are standard ways of encrypting/signing XML documents.

> You're being weirdly defensive about this-- you've even gone full FAKE NEWS on me in a sibling comment

Huh? Sibling comment responded with a link to a story. I never questioned the legitimacy of the linked story. I questioned the relevancy of the story, fully assuming that the story is true. Then I even walked back my earlier comment and I wrote a new comment giving more credit to the posted story. Not sure how you read through these and hear "FAKE NEWS" in all caps.

If I went "FAKE NEWS" on something, it was your comment claiming "People are already setting up fake personas/OnlyFans accounts using chatbots and SD images". That's a thing that could theoretically happen in the future. It's not a thing that's happening at this time.

A thousand tokens in the prompt from OpenAI only costs $0.015

Surely MS pays a lot less than the OpenAI cost though.
I thought we were talking about relevancy of the style, not how difficult it is to make a living competing with Beethoven. If people still turn up in droves to perform and listen to Beethoven, that seems very "relevant" to me.

Do you have any idea how fast modern CPUs are?

I have used more complex native applications on Windows 95 that had less latency than Discord does, on a 10900k 20-thread CPU.

Modern terminals are quite slow compared to how fast the CPU itself it, because of the myriad of layers it sits upon.

And Discord is extremely slow it's not even funny. Having one single frame of additional lag between click and action, with modern PCs probably means billions of instructions being executed. For a glorified IRC client, to render a screen?

The problem is we all have become complacent and lazy, so we are used to software which is utterly inefficient and slow. You should throw all your IDEs in the bin, if only there was one that felt as snappy as Turbo C++ did 30 years ago.
Give me a break. Very interesting theoretical work and all, but show me where it's actually being used to do anything of value, beyond publication fodder. You could also say MLPs are proved to be universal approximators, and can therefore model any function, including the one that maps sensory inputs to cognition. But the disconnect between this theory and reality is so great that it's a moot point. No one uses MLPs this way for a reason. No one uses GATs in systems that people are discussing right now either. GATs rarely even beat GCNs by any significant margin in graph benchmarks.
All the worst outcomes start with regulation. If something as disruptive as AGI is coming within 20 years, the powers that be will absolutely up their efforts in the war on general computing.
"I had to pay a significant amount of money for it from a dealer."

I bought them all in about 1997 or so, and paid very little, like under $10 total for all three paperbacks. I guess I bought at the right time! I haven't read them in ages now. I should go back and re-read them. I remember them being enjoyable, and the ideas were interesting, but the writing was pretty amateurish.

This is the message I shared with my senator (edited to remove information which could identify me). I hope others will send similar messages.

Dear Senator [X],

I am an engineer working for [major employer in the state]. I am extremely concerned about the message that Sam Altman is sharing with the Judiciary committee today.

Altman wants to create regulatory roadblocks to developing AI. My company produces AI-enabled products. If these roadblocks had been in place two years ago, my company would not have been able to invest into AI. Now, because we had the freedom to innovate, AI will be bringing new, high paying jobs to our factories in our state.

While AI regulation is important, it is crucial that there are no roadblocks stopping companies and individuals from even trying to build AIs. Rather, regulation should focus on ensuring the safety of AIs once they are ready to be put into widespread use - this would allow companies and individuals to research new AIs freely while still ensuring that AI products are properly reviewed.

Altman and his ilk try to claim that aggressive regulation (which will only serve to give them a monopoly over AI) is necessary because an AI could hack it's way out of a laboratory. Yet, they cannot explain how an AI would accomplish this in practice. I hope you will push back against anyone who fear-mongers about sci-fi inspired AI scenarios.

Congress should focus on the real impacts that AI will have on employment. Congress should also consider the realistic risks AI which poses to the public, such as risks from the use of AI to control national infrastructure (e.g., the electric grid) or to make healthcare decisions.

Thank you,

You’ve touched on what is probably the biggest reason I don't use Siri more: Apple does not limit it to what’s important to me as user.

I have thousands of contacts, lots of photos, videos, and emails, all in Apple’s first-party apps and yet Siri is more likely to respond with a popular song or listing of news articles that’s only tangentially connected to my request.

This is not a good way to specify a file format. No overview of the general concepts and standards, very informal, and links to the "rive-cpp" Github repository instead of explanations of the object types.
That sounds like compliance enforcement. Monitoring external communications is more or less required by law to prevent insider trading.
And I'll be the old guy yelling about it in the street. I've lived in the same town for most of my life, so I've seen it metastasize across the countryside, gobbling up farmland, wildlife habitat and open spaces, replacing them with McMansions, apartment buildings and Costcos, just to make room for more ... frikken ... people. It's like watching your best high school friend turn into a junkie whore before your eyes.

I don't know what the answer is, but there is something to be said for retaining some beauty at the expense of fewer people, and maybe rethinking the idea that growth is necessary to success, 'cause we're running out of room and that definition can't last forever.
If Amazon ended free returns they'd likely suffer potentially brand-ending harm. Walmart and Target are already nipping at their heels and can offer in-person returns.

Amazon is also mildly disliked by all their customers anyway.

Rent control in Germany also fixed the housing shortage and creates great incentives for new construction. In 2022, Germany had a record in new apartment and buildings finished - 2023 will probably even better. The new ECB interest regime of 4+% actually had very limited effect on the market in this respect thanks to rent control.

Like honestly, rent control is just beyond dumb. There are like 1000 ways that actually solve the problem - but unfortunately they require cities and bureaucrats to work instead of just passing a law. Supply and demand. If it takes LONGER to get a building permit that to actually build a housing complex… When cities are not planning ahead creating new space (argh, infrastructure, public transportation, this sounds like work…
I think, the models (especially transformers) are kind of straight forward.

But the most difficult part is:
- intuition behind them, why they work at all. What a good parameter set is
- how to check if training goes well
- what to do when things go wrong
- how to train large models. I mean gpt4 was trained for a long time. For sure they did some things before and during the long training period.

And so on. I mean because the models are rather „simple“, I think the best engineers get paid pretty high, because it is not that much about the models but everything around it.
The uniqueness is not in hardware it’s in trust. And the ability to make software for normal human beings.
Agree with everything in your comment, except, this isn't just greed. It's also hubris coupled with technology-worship / scientism / futurism. I'm a pretty unabashedly greedy person, in my own opinion, and this social trajectory absolutely disgusts and frightens me. I can want money without wanting to pry into people's private lives beyond what they will personally tell me. I can very easily be greedy without wanting to violate those norms. I understand the point that greed helps people erode any moral sense that this is simply wrong, but I think they have to have some level of belief in technology and some sort of futurism ideology to take the next step toward, "This data can be analyzed correctly and will be highly useful for our productivity!" Just my opinion of course.

If they ever come up with a way for tech to read your mind, companies like Chase will have zero qualms about employing it. Fun thought: Gaddafi got knife-raped by a mob while Jamie Dimon roams free.
This tends to solve the problem by making the destination less desirable, more than it increases supply.

As a developer my job was less the typing and more the thinking about what I was going to write.

I didn't stop thinking about the problems I was solving, even when I went to sleep.

I frequently woke up having solved bugs that I hadn't even realised existed.

Each day, the entire trip to work I contemplated what it was that I was going to do and the trip back what it was I had yet to complete.

And I sure as shit didn't get paid for that.

I've been journaling since 2015, one text file per day and have not missed a single day. However, quite often the daily consists of the single word "Working.", so the bar is not exactly high. I usually write about what I spent my day on, and impressions about the media I'm consuming. I also collect interesting quotes and links. The longest dailies occur when I try to analyze my direction in life, progress with personal projects, the frustrations of a day job, and such. I originally started journaling as a form of brainstorming to help writing fiction, but I since moved that content elsewhere because its format clashes with the rest of the journal.

I sometimes read old entries randomly, but rarely find it enjoyable. However, every New Year's Eve I skim through each daily from the previous year and make a list of "all the things I forgot I did this year", and the list always surprises me very pleasantly with lots of things I totally forgot about. Honestly this alone makes it worth journaling — I feel really bad about not being able to reliably recall things I did prior to 2015.

Looking at the entries from the earlier years, my writing has definitely improved a lot. I always write in English although it's not my native language. I also like to write on paper but it makes organizing the documents a pain.

To answer the question, yes it has improved my life and I don't plan on stopping journaling.
> discussing work related stuff on iText? That will literally get you fired.

I guess it depends on who and also what we mean by work-related stuff.

I don't disagree with you or others that something like discussing a confidential deal or sharing idk screenshots of customer accounts or something would get you fired. As it should.

The article was generic with "work-related topics" so I was too. Sending a text saying "Hey I'm in the CCB analytics weekly business review meeting with so and so can I call you back" won't get you fired. Both are "work-related" but clearly there are differences.

In the context of the Reddit post and the article, I think the substance was basically a few 601 level employees (at most) sharing some vague "leak" of things they really don't know much about or understand and then the whole Internet speculating on Jamie Dimon sitting there taking screenshots of your bedroom to see if you bought a Playstation or an Xbox.

Like any good conspiracy there are elements of truth - JPMC absolutely monitors badge in/out and absolutely logs all of your VDI activities and it would not surprise me if from time to time (or even all the time) they take a quick screenshot when you log in to see if your face matches your employee ID as a security prevention feature.

But a lot of that post seemed like nonsense and saying "employees have to resort to talking about work on iMessage forums!" redoubled my doubt on the whole thing.
