> And JS would make it accessible to most devs.

Don’t think it would be more than it is now; game dev is not the same as web dev and the sourcecode of this game is very readable and easy to work with. The language is not going to be the issue for getting collaborators.

And if it is ever needed, let's hope the stockpiles and logistics are in place to allow for quick distribution of the drug to broad portions of populations which are affected. We saw with COVID-19 that the U.S. let the Strategic National Stockpile become depleted. In the worst case, let's hope the drug has been maintained to be immediately available.
Why would Wolfram be worried? Their core product (Mathematica) is perfectly symbiotic with LLMs.
Age of Empires 4 is not the same as Age of Empires Online and is a a full fledged game in the Age of Empires Series incredibly similar to AOE2 with some learnings from AOE3 added in.[1] It very much plays like it’s predecessors. It is highly enjoyable and has a very active community as responsive developers. There are many content creators and tournaments for this game now. It has a large enough userbase for you to be able to find a game quickly and they are constantly releasing new content and patches. The latest patch was released quite recently.[2]

AOE2, 3 and 4 have lots of tournaments, some of them with quite decent prize pools.[3]

I personally don’t play AOM so I can’t comment on that but as far as I have seen, Microsoft has done a good job at reviving the other games and with the new game so while I don’t doubt AOM is buggy I do have faith they are actively attempting to fix issues.

As for the Windows only thing, as I said, I use windows at times myself and I don’t mind paying for proprietary software. But I understand if others have qualms about that.

But to say that the Age of Empires series died with AOE3 is untrue, and while 0AD is a great achievement, to say it is a replacement for the actual Age games is also not true.

Also note that MS did reimplement the engine for the AOEI definitive edition, unsure about the others.

(Please take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I might be biased - I'm a founder at a startup that solves a very similar problem).

The cloud (and by "cloud" I mostly mean AWS) in general is indeed insanely complex. Not only is it complex and hard to use for dedicated and trained DevOps/Cloud experts, it's even more overwhelming for developers wanting to just deploy their simple apps.

This statement is in my opinion almost universaly accepted - during our market research, we've interviewed ~150 DevOps/Cloud experts and ~250 developers that have been using AWS. Only ~2.5% of them have said that the complexity of AWS is not an issue for them.

That being said, I understand that AWS has to be complex by design. Not only it offers ~250 different services, but the flexible/configurable way it's designed simply requires a lot of expertise and configuration. For example, the granularity and capabilities of AWS IAM is unparalelled. But it comes at a cost - the configurational and architectural complexity is just beyond what an average AWS user is willing to accept.

An alternative to the cloud complexity are the PaaS platforms (such as Heroku or Render). But they also have their disadvantages - mostly significantly increased costs, lower flexibility and far less supported use-cases.

At https://stacktape.com, we're developing an abstraction over AWS, that is simple enough so that any developer can use it, yet allows to configure/extend anything you might need for complex applications. Stacktape is like a PaaS platform that deploys applications/infrastructure to your own AWS account.

We believe that Stacktape offers the perfect mix of ease-of-use, productivity, cost-efficiency and flexibility. It can be used to deploy anything from side projects to complex enterprise applications.

I'll be very happy to hear your thoughts or to hear any feedback.
Avoiding recursion isn’t always that trivial if there are intermediate functions between the first function is called again. More dynamic code with callback functions is another case making this difficult.
At this point you'd need a 10 year old never-updated browser to run into this issue. Which, sure, maybe you need to cater to people who use browsers 10 years out of date. I don't think it's a huge market frankly and 10 year old browsers have larger issues like security.

FYI: XP installed on my 700mhz Athlon, clock chipped to 950. Redhat was hard, Slackware was an absolute nightmare. Gentoo took weeks. We recompiled everything and discovered that Intel does not create good amd binaries. Never went back to Linux on the back burner for 8 years on an Intel.

That googler has no real world experience whatsoever.

Google owns several platforms used by billions. If that is not the moat, what is?

Google has moats. They just suck at executing. That is why they are not dying, still making more and more money, but looking like they are losing. That is the benefit of having moats.
I agree. I didn't know it had a name. Thanks for it.

Also plus points. 1) It was easy to remember how to fold it. 2) It had good structural resistance and could withstand several flights and bumps. 3) It provided the first lesson in aeronautical engineering i.e. you could slightly tilt the one or the other wing in order to make flight behavior corrections.

My real love was one model that I didn't know how to make. An older cousin did. It was a tailed design. Best Flight Ever... See, when you are 5 it is easy to impress!
This is absolutely not a joke.

We're radically devoted to Humanity.

I'm launching a financial planning business right now but I was recently using it to write xpath queries to use with "xmllint --format".

I then used it to generate a more robust Python script processing these large XML files instead.

I like using it to generate scaffolding and for debugging but I haven't had to touch a legacy C++ code base for a few years.

This is just silly. Also, a machine killing me is still not enough. We have drone targeting systems in development right now but I don’t think you’d call them AI.

> And again "reasonable" is a pretty useless metric.

When you can’t define intelligence, it’s really the starting point.

The thing with LLMs is that they look almost there but, as many are pointing out, the method by which they make inferences is an analysis of how words fit together without understanding the meaning. This is why things like ChatGPT confidently spout absolute nonsense about topics they weren’t trained on (with much human intervention): it doesn’t know what it’s saying so it doesn’t realise it’s making stuff up.
> Shaming?

You should read the article. I know it's long but there is a lot of historical and cultural context that might enlighten you as to why Cleopatra has been portrayed the way she has over time.

>Anyway, whatever it is that people are looking for, the ratings say that monarchist propaganda wasn't it.

What monarchist propaganda? As far as I know, the only controversy around the series was in the portrayal of Cleopatra as black. Simply portraying monarchs is not, in and of itself, propaganda. And I don't see how you can read specific intent from ratings.
> It also means our conversation is recorded by openai, doesn’t it?

That was already happening anyway. But it means something else too

- shared prompts will be scrapeable for open source

- shared prompts will have many continuations and social feedback around them - valuable for training? who knows
I think maybe you are understating the complexity as "just an inverter drive" - highlighted by the fact so many telsas have had drive unit replacements.
You're not wrong, but it still only works for the most naive algorithm.
>because the price of a stock is what someone is willing to pay for it.
It's only true assuming fully efficient markets, which even academic economists studying markets don't do.

The fact someone is willing to pay $100 for one share doesn't mean every share is worth $100.

The fair value of a stock should always depend on the expected cash flow you can receive by holding the stock for perpetuity. Nobody can predict the future, so nobody really knows what the fair value is.

But, if you had 1 trillion dollars and still wouldn't want to pay 1 trillion to acquire an entire company, because you feel you very likely can't make that 1 trillion back, then it's fair to say the company is not worth 1 trillion to you.
I was once 'caught' providing alcohol to a minor at a sting event at a 7-11.
The 16-18 year old came up to me, with his 16-18 year old gf, while I was browsing a Redbox kiosk and asked me very politely to buy him alcohol. I said "no way, sorry". A minute later he asked a guy behind me waiting, also politely and was told no.
I left. Drove 3-4 minutes away.
I felt bad. I stopped at a store, got him a 6 pack, and drove back and gave it to him.
The sting operation was not ready for this scenario. I drove away. 2 minutes later 3 cop cars surrounded me and ordered me out of my car.
Long story short, I talked to a lawyer about potentially trying to get off on an entrapment defense. He said I MIGHT have a chance because I said no at first and left. And that something about the scenario made me come back even though my impulse was to say no.
He even reached out to someone (DA?) regarding the case.
When I went for the initial hearing where I planned to reschedule for a hearing with a lawyer, all charges were dropped.
Is this because they realized it almost was entrapment in a way? I'll never know.
There absolutely people who just keep messing up in the private sector until they reach retirement, never suffering consequences. You just have to be executive level.

This dichotomy you're making between the free market and government is cartoonish and not particularly useful.
You don’t have to do tax returns in China. But you have to fill out a form with some numbers from your pay check stubs as HR tells you. It’s absolutely bizarre, it doesn’t change what taxes you pay at all, but you are in trouble if you don’t file the form (which is in Chinese anyways and I’ve never read through).
I found your article very informative and it matches up quite a bit with my own thinking about HTML generation. In fact it looks like we independently arrived at pretty much the same conclusions.

Doctors may have 10 years of medical training but they have very little time to apply that knowledge to any particular patient.

If you come to a doctor’s appointment with zero research then you will not be able to push back if your doctor attempts to misdiagnose you. It will be a unidirectional conversation.

If you have prepared for your appointment then the following conversation is more likely to happen:

Patient: I have symptoms X and Y

Doctor: You probably have condition A

Patient: But I don’t have Z, is it really likely that I have A?

Doctor: It’s also possible that you have condition B

In a perfect world, patients would get hour long appointments and doctors would explore the entire fault tree. For rich people this may actually be reality. But for us proles, every minute we get with a doctor is precious so we’d better study up so we can use them as medical oracles.

OTOH, Germany managed to push solar and wind early, too. Sadly, "Klimakanzlerin"[1] Merkel's governments managed to undo a lot of investment through bad legislation, which led to many companies in the green energy sector failing - effectively moving that industry to China.

[1]: She was unironically called that in 2007, after not much more than a few nice words and taking some photographs in Ilulissat, Greenland - yes, press failure was a thing back then, too.
I think if they had approached this with “we can’t maintain this platform without sponsorship” and solicited it from that from the requester and the general public and behind the scenes contacted the company to inquire about interest it wouldn’t have come off so oddly.
It does. But it is still part of the “budget”, which is only money going out, and doesn’t count money coming in.
I'm sure everyone is very interested in hearing about how that should be done.
Small research collaboration is a good point, I'll offer it for discussion.

I actually don't know who would be my PhD advisor and what would be their research interests. I am generally interested in AI, but my main interest for a dissertation/experiments would be electrical biophysics/biotech, for which I've already collected some theoretical and experimental basis and which at least in the starting point may not require AI.

Alternatively, I have ~20 ideas for AI, like "it would be cool to apply AI to speed up clinical trials" (there are folks at Foresight Institute, as I've watched their recent youtube presentations, who are doing that), but no knowledge of practical implementation details of these AI ideas. Or I would be interested specifically in AI used in Levin's electrical biotech lab or for epigenetic clocks etc, but there seems to be no such AI agendas in this center. in this center they seem to be focused mainly on recognition stuff, and I'd like a more generational/engineering aid AI. i wouldn't care would an AI work on quantum fuzzy logic or on a slime mold logic if it only achieves the intended result.

I was not planning to do PhD specifically in AI, but it seems at least better than random jobs.

I do not have any publications yet:). I have only 2 ideas for 2 articles I could write and publish on my website which I hadn't set up yet.

Well to be fair, OpenJDK only became a thing after Java 7.

It was announced for Java 6, half baked during Sun/Oracle transition, and to this day most people still don't grasp the difference between OpenJDK, other OpenJDK distributions and alternative JVM implementations.
A lot of states give prisoners open bus tickets on release if they have no one coming to pick them up. They are not technically sending them to LA, SF, Portland, or Seattle, but where else are they going to go? Living outside in LA is much better than doing the same in Houston.

But this is another point of the problem: anyone who solves the problem well is bound to just attract more of the problem. People are not immobile, and will move to where they have the best chance of surviving, so if Seattle is rumored to be handing out tiny houses to the unhoused, it will simply attract more of the problem. Whatever local resources are thrown at the problem will not make a noticeable dent in the problem locally (though the national problem will get some small improvement relative to its size).
CCS1 was published in 2011. Tesla didn’t design NACS until 2012. It’s a myth that Tesla had to invent their own proprietary system because no standard was available.
Good for us too - we can scrape them all.
I understand. They're the only orbital game in town, and will be until <INSERT_PET_FUTURISTIC_THINGY>. I guess what I'm, saying, it's more that "efficient" isn't a word that pops up in your head when you imagine "rocket". It's like a demure Dodge Hellcat owner, or a contemplative WWE star.
I read the article, I know she has been slut shamed throughout history, but that isn't the sort of story I said netflix should tell. It is possible to depict Cleoptra as a privileged narcissist and a powerful sex-positive person simultaneously. Sexy powerful women are popular. What isn't necessary, or evidently popular, is portraying Cleopatra as a empathetic and effective leader dedicated to the Egyptian people, which the article informs me, is what the Netflix show did. The show is, by the way the article describes it, flagrant monarchist propaganda.

> As far as I know, the only controversy around the series was in the portrayal of Cleopatra as black

Refer yourself to the beginning of your own comment.
> We know what you think you are doing but it's as dumb as ...

You know nothing about me and the fact that you pluralized your vitriol only reveals a pathetic attempt to hide an ad hominem attack.
Yup, quite a few of our team members went on to top universities for a range of disciplines. Some are doing PhD research at places like MIT and the other top schools known for robotics and CS. I still remember teaching some of them how to drill a hole in my garage (we sometimes met there because the school simply didn’t have the resources I could contribute). Heck, I taught some of the kids now doing PhD work how to program. That was always fun and deeply rewarding.

Wine 8.9
I find this to be a close cousin of Tom Scott's "Making an international standard cup of tea" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAsrsMPftOI). And very related to Tom Scott's "The US government will sell you freeze-dried urine" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvJzi0BXcGI) and Veritasium's "The world depends on a collection of strange items. They're not cheap" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQyYGezS7c)

They bring forward the idea that standard/pure/repeatable items aren't intrinsically "good" or "enjoyable". But that doesn't make them not useful or valuable in other contexts.

It also offers some food for thought when it comes to what metrics we decide to put value in. We may like the idea of a particular metric, or what we think it represents, but that doesn't make it worth optimizing for.

A metric without context is useless, and taking a holistic view of what makes something worth doing allows us to make more informed decisions.

I tell it to stop that, but it still does that sort of thing every few prompts when it loses the immediate token context window. Sometimes it’s wider continuity [1] will keep it off that pedantic path longer, but I still have to occasionally put into prompts things like “don’t remind me about blah blah blah every time”

[1] “continuity” is what it called the ability when, after about a half dozen prompts of interrogating it, I finally got it to acknowledge that it was still aware of something outside of its immediate context window (without me giving the direct knowledge with a leading question). I don’t know if it hallucinated the term “continuity” to account for its ability to look back further than the token context window or if that’s actually what the openai folks call it, but ChatGPT said it was limited, not everything was available, and there was some type of pruning based on perceived importance. I’ll try to dig up the precise wording and post in a comment to myself here, it’s late and I’m on a mobile device though and too tired and lazy to touchscreen my way through tons of chats histories. We need a global search of prior chat sessions.

Nitpick: video games are almost always a work-for-hire, so it's 95 years after publication (or 120 years after creation, in the unusual event that publication gets delayed long enough for this deadline to expire first).
Horrific. I'm surprised the DOJ isn't getting involved.

In what world does this make sense?! I imagine it's always better to communicate in writing, otherwise why not say nothing or at least ask legal to vet it?
Many things from those days were like that but there was no infrastructure for anything in the 90s at that time and viaweb added e-commerce. You had to write a bucket load of Perl cgi-bin horror to do this yourself.
