You're acting as if poor people are inherently helpless and incapable of following basic rules. Most people are going to have friends or family that would rather spare a couch rather than them live off the streets. If not, he can live in a shelter. Either way, he's going to have to learn how to respect other people's property if he wants to stay.

In the meantime, someone else on the wait-list for public housing who is willing to follow rules can move into now-vacant apartment.

I'm sorry, maybe other people said the same thing. I didn't read the whole thread yet. I'm gonna pick you and the line "desire to pass my genes to the future". I'm gonna ask you some genuine questions about it, so please if you can I would appreciate your point of view.

What is this desire, how does it feel? I've never felt it.

Is it a thought process or do you feel it in your body? (like hunger, sexual attraction...).

Do you feel pain in your body (chest pain, knot in the throat..) if you think you cannot fulfill that desire?

How do you feel if you think about the fact that when you are dead, it just doesn't matter if you passed your gene or not? Isn't that desire just a rationalization/mental process vanishing in oblivion?

Where does that desire goes if you scale-up the total human species life-span? Would you feel happy that you will have grand-grand-grand children that you will never meet?

I've never felt the desire to pass my genes to anybody. I have sexual desire, does that mean I want to pass my genes? But I feel like, sexual desire is like taking a piss: I just release some build-up in my body. I cannot rationalize my peeing in: I have to pee, because that ensure my survival hence the succession of me gene. I feel the same of orgasm. It feels that thought process is forced and conditioned by society.
It seems that many agree with this. At the risk of getting downvoted I want to share an opposing opinion:

This way of thinking is not just unhelpful but even harmful. If one would often benefit from these checks while coding, then they should not be relying on a type checker. They should be thinking more, and writing comments is a great way to do that.

This is especially true because many operations on ndarrays / tensors can yield perfectly valid shapes with completely unintended consequences. When comments are written reasonably well they help avoid these difficult-to-debug, correct-output-shape-but-unintended-result mistakes. Not to mention the additional clear benefit of helping one quickly re-understand the tensor manipulations when coming back to the code weeks or months later.

And more generally, if one can get in the habit of writing these comments before the code, it can help push them away from the write-quickly-now-debug-later mentality. I have seen this bite folks many times, both while teaching ugrad + grad courses and while working at large tech companies.
It strictly depends on the category of the book:

Insightful → process subconsciously;

Informative → summarize.

Update: yes, it is not just a matter of texts. The annoying snipers that infest these boards should summarize as a general practice: this will help them with an exercise in thinking, expression, so that maybe one day they will also be able to formulate and present an argument.

My point is pretty simple. It is that the critical differences are on the inside, not on the outside.

I wasn't taking a position on what people should do with this information, but I think that understanding the fact is important if you want to change anything, or simply understand how the world works.

In the context of depression, I think it is up to the individual if they want to change. In your example, the relevant question is if the lonely 50 year old wants to change. As long as they aren't hurting me, I am fine with them choosing either option. What, if anything, I am willing to do the help, would depend on if or how much I care for the individual.

What do you think about your questions? It seems like you have on opinion you aren't stating.

Thanks for the example that's interesting.

FWIW, this is pretty much what has been described as "waluigi" effect a bit extended: in a text you'll find on the internet, if some information at the beginning is mentioned, it WILL be relevant somewhere at some point later in that text. So an auto-completion algorithm will use all the information that has been given in the prompt. In your example it puts it in an even weirder situation where the model the overall model information (the lights, and that you're cold and nothing else), and it must generate a response. It would be a fun psychological study to look at, but I'm pretty sure even humans would do that in that situation (assuming they realize that lights may indeed produce a little bit of wattage of heat)

I think this is one of the greatest features of LLMs. They are incredibly powerful tools, but have obvious limitations that require a certain amount of finesse to manage.

During the peak Uber hype cycle, insufferable self-driving people were always yabbering on about how superior the AI is, robot taxis will take over, etc. it was difficult to assess or discuss those statements then when the AI models cost millions and weren’t available outside of major companies, who tend to downplay their failures.

Now, thousands or even millions of people can set LLMs onto a variety of critical and mundane tasks that they can actually objectively evaluate. As end users, we can now build fluency in how different approaches to AI work and don’t work.
LLMs might be good enough to sign up for sites, though maybe not yet fool “I am a human” test.
I realize there are different opinions about this article, but I personally agree with the overall idea.

Learning is about recalling information. The more you practice recalling a fact, the more the memory "sticks".[1]

Writing summaries is an effective way to both 1) identify the most important information, and 2) practice recalling it.

Koolaid or not, as long as they're sticking to Claude (or at least away from MS/Google/Meta) I don't really mind. FastGPT[1], which recently became unaccidentally public[2], seems to work pretty well, even though it's still separate from their main offering. The feature creep of their main search engine, like the podcast search and listicle stuff, is easy to toggle off, so I imagine LLM integration will be optional as well.

In economics this is called hedonic adjustment. The economy is improved because the workers value purchasing a lunch more than making their own.

9 foot ceilings are not seen as economically inefficient compared to 8 foot ceilings. The additional foot is seen as value.

No-one is bringing up one of the reasons for serialization of parts.

Apple put security into iPhones to make them much harder to sell after they have been stolen. iCloud Activation Lock makes it very hard for a thief to resell a stolen phone, thereby making it less attractive to steal in the first place.

So, the thieves that I was in jail with told me they continued to steal the phones then just took them all to the phone repair stores who would break them all down for the spare parts and give them cash. They would then use all the stolen spares to repair other people's phones.

Now that the parts are serialized this channel is closed and it again makes it less attractive to steal the phones.

So, I for one am OK with the serialization, BUT there needs to be a balance. I realize Apple now hands out repair tools and instructions, with a system to reserialize your authentic parts, but what to do with a mountain of half-broken phones that could be legitimately cannibalized for their working parts?
Everybody noticed. It's what people mean when they refer to a comment sounding like it was written by ChatGPT.

I suspect it's a deliberate choice, much as The Sun newspaper aims at an 8 year old reading level, while newspapers like The Times or Guardian aim at 14 year old. Try asking ChatGPT to shift to a more advanced level.

Also, the whole "say what you're going to say, say it, say what you said" technique is very common because it works. Even "smart" people don't remember things quite as well as they think they do.

Touring “Good Old-Fashioned Artificial Intelligence”
I've been incrementally studying Lisp programming using "Common LISP: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" by David Touretzky (the 2013 edition). After working through the first six chapters, I feel ready to take a steeper road to Lisp and GOFAI. I had originally planned to use the Norvig PAIP book. After taking a look at Lisp: 3rd edition by Patrick Winston, I'm kind of conflicted on which which book to use as a primary text. Both seem to start with Lisp and follow that with implementations of classic AI applications. Cost isn't really a factor, because I already own both books. Any suggestions?

> If the moral implications of killing animals are roughly the same as killing plants

There is a difference in killing and suffering. I advocate to eliminate suffering and kill humanely. That's not a concern with plants.

> Why is reflection on experience the bar and not experience itself?

It is for suffering, but not for a right to life. There is no 'person' without self-awareness. Thus I don't see a need to grant a right to life.

> Animals demonstrate learned behaviors, e.g. recognizing humans from memory and resuming friendly behavior based on that recognition. Similarly, avoidance of situations that are known to cause pain.

Animals, most mammals at least, are hardwired for socialization and to avoid harm. This doesn't really indicate anything.

> this reflection reveals are the same experiences that predate our ability to self reflect

That's the key though. Self-awareness is the distinction.

> I guess what I’m fundamentally not understanding in your argument is the basis for the idea that a species gaining self reflection somehow becomes the point at which it becomes immoral to kill or harm that species.

Without self-awareness, they are not a 'person', essentially just more complex automata. They can't shape their environment, they are just a part of their environment, following their instincts.

They don't think, therefore they are not.

> Furthermore, moral behavior can be found all throughout the animal world, with clear indications of love/protection, companionship, sharing/cooperation, reciprocity, memory of transgressors, etc.

Some of that is just programmed instinct, quite different from humans. For examples, some mothers will attack their young, does this mean they 'love' them, or they have a programmed instinct to protect their young? Some of those same mothers will eat some of their young also, keep in mind before you answer.

> I’d argue that gaining the ability to self reflect is the very thing that increases our moral obligations.

Sure, to reduce harm, but not to not take a life.

Take a cod for example. It has no self-awareness, no personhood, no traits worth valuing. Its body is worth more than it's life, and if killed humanely no harm is done.

> the implications of it mattering are worth exploring more broadly.

I agree. But I've spent the last few years debating and researching this stuff, and I've come to my conclusions. They are in line with our current scientific understanding, and unless something changes it's what will continue to make sense to me.
This has been my experience as well; however, when I want to get an encyclopedic summary of a topic, I’ve noticed that 3.5-turbo is more willing to reply directly to a handful of keywords, whereas GPT-4 typically tries to suss out a more specific question before dedicating itself to replying.
I don't know you or your family so I would never comment on whether I think your choices are healthy or not.

My point was more General in that people can make poor choices for themselves that leave them unfulfilled and worse off.
