There are a lot of variables that go into the success of a marriage that can't be predicted, especially over a 20+ year timeframe. The idea that you can reliably predict if someone'll be happy in their marriage decades later is... unsupported.
I think this essentially happened with XEmacs. It's been a while (since the 90's), but I recall that they had a different architecture and more advanced font support. I believe the latter was folded back into Emacs eventually.
Yeah, this is exactly the opposite of what you should do. If Amazon filed a lawsuit against them, these requests are probably apart of discovery. Failure to comply with requests for docs or depositions during discovery can have bad consequences for the plaintiff.
This is similar to what i do.

Nowadays, storage is cheaper (though of course not free), so whenever i download BIG files, i review to see if said file is worth saving...If it is, then i promptly move it intop a relevant directory. If not worth saving, then i delete it. As an example, I do this alot with ISO files for Linux distros. Sometimes i download it, copy it to a usb thumb drive, try out the linux distro, and then delete it. Now, if downloaded BIG files so often, then i guess this method won't scale...but for me, its a solved issue.

Well, have you read the article? It just states that the intensity of shelling intensified, which is not very surprising 5 days before the invasion?

The article did not mention who intensified the shelling in the first place, but states that the only civilian casualty happened on the Kyiv government controlled territory.

Please explain to me, how is this proof that Ukraine wanted to invade.
A person can make any claims in America without needing any evidence.

But if they make those claims in court, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

The Twitter person did not make the claim in court. Not sure why his lawyers are presenting more evidence to Amazon. It is not his burden.
I'm not familiar with how lawsuit process works in the US, but wouldn't the fact that he got served imply that he actually got sued by Amazon? Or is it normal that witness gets served as well?
Yeah but it still beats the other trains, which is very surprising. Also my second link has more info. I’d prefer better sources on all of this though.
> So far, 100% of those which are as intelligent as humans have dominated the planet.

This is a much more subjective claim than whether or not the world has ended. By count and biomass there are far more insects and bacteria than there are humans. It's a false equivalence, and you are trying to make my argument look wrong by comparing it to an incorrect argument that is superficially similar.
For a compiled language it seems reasonable to assume that "put them in a file and read them in" means at compile time, like the C23 pre-processor feature #embed and the Rust macro include_bytes!

Now, #embed and include_bytes! always give you bytes (in Rust these are definitely u8, an unsigned 8-bit integer, I don't know what is promised in C but in practice I expect you get the same) because that's what modern files are - whereas maybe you want, say, 32-bit big endian signed integers in this Swift example. But, Swift is a higher level language, it's OK if it has some more nuance here and maybe pays a small performance penalty for it. 10% slower wouldn't be objectionable if we can specify the type of data for example.
Perhaps the problem is broader and more fundamental, in that too many people have been conditioned to uncritically believe whatever they read in books, newspapers, and internet articles from 'reputable sources', and so they have a tendency to ignore the OpenAI warning that outputs may be inaccurate, untruthful, and otherwise misleading at times.?

Imagine if every cable news show and newspaper story led with "the information presented here may be biased, inaccurate and/or incomplete, because we need to align with the interests of our advertisers, owners and government regulators".

The solution would be teaching broadly applicable critical analysis skills at a fairly young age, but this would tend to undermine 'faith in institutions and leaders', which is doubleplus ungood.
Thanks for this jaclaz, always good to see your messages.

Might even work from a non-bootable USB stick formatted by MSDOS or Windows as a floppy (no MBR or partition table, same sector 0 as a floppy) if the BIOS recognizes it as A: (maybe also as B:) when plugged in before powerup.

Assuming the PC is booted to the XP CDROM or one of the other effective ways to conventionally install XP.

For XP I do like having both IDE and SATA drivers installed in the long run so it will still boot regardless of BIOS HDD mode setting.

Ideally when the BIOS would be set to boot from floppy with first priority, if a floppy was in the drive but had no boot files, the next boot device would then be tried.
It’s barely racist. It’s just the double Standards everyone has. Every single one of us can pretend that we care about children mining Cobalt in Africa, but really, no one is willing to give up their iPhones or demand accountability. However if a factory was to be set up in our own backyards, every single one of us would be up in arms.

The comment wasn’t to say it is okay, it was to highlight that to enjoy a certain level of comfort in the modern world, we need to do some pretty bad things. And most people don’t even realize what they are until it hits their backyard.

Also, let me frame it this way, given that you’re not okay with pollution sufferings of people in China, would you be okay if the same factory was set up next to your house, given that even the most factories operating under safe standards still emit enough pollution to have long term effects on humans? Virtue signaling on the internet is easy, real world is hard.
“ In the situations I've seen, it's actually copying the code line-for-line, not merely making something similar.”

Those are mistakes and they will become more rare as the AI improves. If the system was designed to store chunks of code and output a copy of existing ones, the vast majority of output we see would be exact copies.
You've misspelled: taking Germany to a recession.

Edit: Downvoters please explain how the two things are unrelated. Thanks
Yes, absolutely, this is a tradeoff.

Running C code at 50% max speed is OK for me when running debug builds.

Clang being slower to compile is not an issue because I can use tcc. Unfortunately I can't use all those nice C++ features with tcc.
> I was trying to illustrate the case that if humans can develop harmful things, like nuclear weapons, then an AI that is as smart as a human can presumably develop similarly harmful things.

For the sake of discussion, it was established even before I arrived that those developed things are the danger, not that which creates/uses the things which are dangerous. What is to be gained by ignoring all of that context?

> I really don't know what to say to that. Sure, I guess?

Nothing, perhaps? It is not exactly something that is worthy of much discussion. If you are desperate for a fake internet battle, perhaps you can fight with earlier commenters about whether it is nuclear missiles that are dangerous or if it is the people who have created/have nuclear missiles are dangerous? But I have no interest. I cannot think of anything more boring.
You can emulate a networking layer in the browser for different workloads to talk to each other, think an http server and client.

Of course the browser can't offer an actual networking stack by itself, but you can augment that by proxying traffic through a server over Websockets/WebRTC.

Wasmer might have some plans in that direction...
> This fork promises "All of the memory-safe features you love, now with 100% less bureaucracy!" Compelling, until you realise that all the commits are auto-merges of rust-lang/rust's main branch. Which means the same teams doing the same work, under a different name.

It started out specifically as a reaction to Rust's take on trademarks, so shipping the exact same code with a different name was the point.
WASI has been in Preview1 for a couple of years now, indeed. However, Preview2 is well underway and the initial implementation is scheduled to land in wasmtime this June.

You left out Australia 70%, New Zealand 60%, Brazil 41%, Chile 70% etc.

Japan, China, India, and much of Europe have many areas with natural levels of fluoride in the water near or even above the recommended level. Which seriously distort their numbers as proponents of adding fluoride to water supplies don’t want to increase it arbitrarily only to safe and effective levels.

China has some really interesting data as in one location removing fluoride quickly resulted in “the incidence of dental caries among 4-year-old children had increased by 62%.”
This kind of statement rings hollow as long as they keep building the thing. If they really believed it was a species killing asteroid of a cultural project shouldn't they, I dunno, stop contributing materially to it? Nuclear physicists famously stopped publishing during a critical period...
The market has been detached from reality for quite a while now
Right, and you reasoned your way to the statement because you wouldn't just make a statement without thinking it through.

You'll be the first to agree, though because you're reasonable and you know how this works, is that the absence of evidence is not evidence for absence. The case for "Current AI is not sentient" as you put it can't be grounded in "we don't have evidence for its sentience." That's exactly why I asked about your epistemology of sentience and you made references to things that are all, as far as I can tell, self-reportable, and queries we can make to LLMs. Even so, I'm not getting the sense that doing that experiment would convince you - there seems to be a bigger reason why you think AI couldn't be sentient that goes beyond these qualities.

Lastly, and this is important, the framing of, "If you have a better explanation, I'm open to being convinced" is a cognitive dead-end. A line of reasoning should stand on its own merit. We can probe a line of reasoning to determine whether it's sound and valid without necessarily replacing it with a substitute model. Or in other words, we shouldn't feel the need to accept an invalid of unsound model even if we don't have a replacement. I know this can be unfulfilling, but the drive to explain shouldn't override the need for our working models to be sound and valid and I hope you agree.

It would make perfect sense to have some ML model which predicts which customers will be most profitable, and treat those guys well to improve retention amongst that client set.
The decision to phase all of them out has already been made, the next plant will be turned off in a couple of weeks.

Also, massive storage capacity is being installed already: 1 GWh of small-scale home storage was added in the first quarter of this year alone. When it comes to larger-scale batteries Germany is currently a bit behind, but that is just a matter of time since the business opportunity is just too great. So this is already happening right now in front of our eyes.

Base load is a concept of the past, flexible grids is the future, and that is exactly where the journey is already going.
I do this on my Macs. Windows and KDE also have the option. GNOME stopped doing desktop icons by default ages ago. It's such a better experience IMO.

I have Desktop added as one of those fan-out folders in the MacOS Dock so it's really easy to drag-n-drop the newest screenshot to GitLab etc.

I think this mischaracterizes the whole issue. There are already Open Source LLMs that can be run locally, You can use OpenAIs API which gives you access to multiple different types of models that can be trained for your use case. People keep creating Jailbreaks to get around restrictions put in place by the developers of various models etc. The only thing that is holding back AI is the resources required. Most people can't to afford train a LLM by themselves from scratch, so it's not a viable avenue for widespread ai use. Also you can use GPT 4 if you subscribe to ChatGPT plus or pay to use it's API
No they are not, but also most of the world is okay consuming the fruits of their labor. Let me frame it this way, given that you’re not okay with pollution sufferings of people in China, would you be okay if the same factory was set up next to your house, given that even the most factories operating under safe standards still emit enough pollution to have long term effects on humans?

Thanks for the precision. My point was: your latency will probably be more impacted by the number of nodes from you to the destination server than the distance to this server.
Elizabeth Holmes has gone to prison. Will she ever pay victims too?
I disagree. My read on him is that until very recently (i.e., possibly when GPT4 came out) he didn't take x-risks concerns seriously, or at least assumed we were still many decades away from the point where we need to worry about them.

But the abilities of the latest crop of LLMs changed his mind. And he very publicly admitted he had been wrong, which should be applauded, even if you think it took him far too long.

By quitting and saying it was because of his worries he sent a strong message. I agree it is unlikely he'll make any contributions to technical alignment, but just having such an eminent figure publicly take these issues seriously can have a strong impact.
Let's say the classified gets it right 999,999 times out of a million. It's about as fixed as it will ever be. Why would Google bring it back when there will be dozens of instances of them getting it wrong a year? It is mostly downside with very little upside.

You can actually find things the Google probably thinks are gorillas and monkeys by searching for "zoo".
Yep. I've been doing this for years. It changes a plist file in your home dir somewhere if I remember correctly.
> Ah yes "there is always x, so why shy from this x?", I wonder if there's a named logical fallacy for this, I think the closest might be "Moral Equivalence"

I absolutely did not say that, and would not say that. The person I was responding to was making a comment saying that a language shouldn't be political.

My point was that it's impossible to have a language that isn't political, simply by nature of it involving humans. They will disagree. They will need to make decisions. They will change their behaviour to get what they want, either consciously or subconsciously.

> Python doesn't have so much regarding internal struggles of power

What....? Python has all sorts of political crap going on. Take a look through the dev forums and mailing lists. Look at the various groups and subgroups of developers, the way they interact and organise around different perspectives etc.

There was a whole bunch of that leading up to Guido's eventual stepping down as BDFL, after the long fight to get PEP 572 out (walrus operator). He even called it out in his stepping down email.
Discovery is weird, and if you ever get a request for it from someone with more money/lawyers than sense, you really should get your OWN lawyer to push back, as there are ways to get them to pay for it.

The train derailment and the amount of people that didn’t care shows you that the apathy of a consumer doesn’t change unless it’s their own backyard
Based on the discovery requests, it appears Amazon is mostly requesting documents and discovery from him that CA can't help him with, since Molson is in control of those documents.

Being an expert witness usually means that the party employing your services generally pays for your time to respond to discovery requests. In this case, it appears he was cited in CA's complaint but CA did not actually engage him as an expert witness so it doesn't appear (based on the Twitter thread) that he is being paid for his testimony.
Though I have only skimmed the book, this strikes me as an unfair characterization. For example, this case study discusses laziness extensively: <https://haskell.foundation/hs-opt-handbook.github.io/src/Cas...>
It’s unclear to me in the Twitter thread. Also, IANAL.

If he is an expert witness, surely he can get California to reimburse him, including for any attorney’s fees.

If this is Rule 45 third-party discovery, look at Rule 45(d)(1) and get an attorney. Maybe read this, too:

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/litigation/committees/com...
($hour, $min, $sec) = $someTimeString =~ /(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)/;

if ($hour >= 12) {
if ($min == 42) {
doSomething();
}
}

Whereas in Python, Ruby even though it's only a tiny extra step, but that symantic distance in one's head when parsing out and naming the parts of a regex on the same is a convenience that when you get used to it, you really miss it.

m = /(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)/.match( someTimeString )
hour = m[0]
min = m[1]
sec = m[2]
if hour >= ...
Amazon is not suing him. The state of California is suing Amazon and he is a witness to the case. Amazon is burying him with discovery requests. It's not a crime to criticise a company without evidence.
I work on WASI, and completely agree. A lot of things are not clearly documented right now, and we're working on fixing it.
I started reading up the history of gcc. It's really fascinating. Stallman made the first release 1987. This means gcc is 36 years old if you count the first release as birth.

It's a long game: world wide

In 2021, electricity production from renewable grew by 9%

Nuclear production grew by 2%. The capacity declined. World wide.

It's much better to invest into renewable.
Agreed that this is one of the major mechanisms. But that's not the point I'm making here. It's a more general point regarding how the implicit "Why now?" question is often more newsworthy than the explicit "What?" being reported.

And also the fact that, unless the reader is willing to make a conscious connection to that fact, the lack of nuance often serves to swing a discussion in the opposite direction to what conscious examination of the timing would suggest (e.g. via the framing effect).
I wish I had good inside info to know what the breakdown is - you may be right that 80 or 90% is I want answer to X - I certainly see a lot of searches looking for one line answers.. is X open till 10pm tonight? What is the safe temp for cooked Y..

When I mention that a lot of searches were great as serps, and things that made google popular back in the day, that they have made more shitty over they years.. searches for 'sexy pics of celebrity X' - 'place with free episode of tv / show / music etc' -

when I am searching for art or pics and even hotels - I want chunked lists for comparing things - I don't always want the cheapest 1 thing.. or the closest 1 thing - I want serps when searching for things on youtube usually not the 1 thing.

similar with amazon results - once in a while I want this 1 thing, (particular trash bags brand/size) and order it.. but often times I want serps to show me several options and additional filters in cases to narrow it down and such - to see what's out there, compare and make different choices.

I would love to know the real data on how many and what searches are 1 result needed - no further answer required - and what things are needed as lists.

I have seen many chatgpt prompts that say put these into a list, make a table showing these things.. but that may be my bias in learning about 'publishing specific' things - perhaps it is 10% or less rare to request a list.

If truly 90% of searches are single answer only needed, not lists of things, google (and ads, and content portals like recipe sites, and SEO) is in more trouble than I guessed.
>its often much better to walk just outside the boundary of the airport

are you serious? what airports do you visit where you can do this as a suggestion without laughing. It's like telling the freshmen that there's a pool on the school roof.

even something as small like a Bob Hope in Burbank would be difficult. Most airports do not consider pedestrian traffic to the edge of their properties. I've done it once at that airport because my office was pretty much next door to the Fry's across the street. still made me regret that decision. I'm now in Dallas and even Lovefield pedestrian traffic past getting to the parking area is non-existent. From DFW? Forget it. Much like your suggestion
There's at least a small skew in the numbers as well. My wife was instructed to perform CPR by a 911 dispatcher on someone she found who had died in their sleep, and kept talking her through the instructions until paramedics arrived.

I'm assuming this is counted in the broader "survival rate" numbers. That's not to say that the overall message is wrong, but CPR being administered to the dead, or those in medical distress who wouldn't benefit from it, will obviously decrease the overall effectiveness scores.
TFT clearly says "And in response [to being a witness for CA], Amazon served me with a lawsuit"
But most Google Workspace customers are companies, not individuals. It'd be hard to convince the company to pay for Mimestream, so its customers are people. And there are too many "personal productivity" tools competing for my money, Mimestream is very low on the priorities list.
Your summary seems wrong. At least, I don't usually regard being "the subject of a police search" as a heartwarming topic.

The 1999 edition uses the same definition. https://archive.org/details/newyorktimesmanu00sieg_0/page/28...

The 1976 edition says (in the entry for "Negro"): "The race of a person figuring in the news should be specified only if it is truly pertinent. The same stricture applies to ethnic and religious identifications." - https://archive.org/details/newyorktimesmanu00jord/page/136/... . The entry for "race of a person in the news" is very similar - https://archive.org/details/newyorktimesmanu00jord/page/172/...

It's been about the same description for decades. So your point in bringing it up is .. what, exactly?
> Isn't it illegal to make claims about a company / individual without evidence?

No, it is not.

Opinions are not illegal, and this stuff clearly falls into opinions.

Furthermore, even if his claims were factual claims, the claims would have to be proved to be wrong and it would have to be proved that he acted in malice, and not just ignorance.

Also, he isn't being sued for defamation, so this is a completely unrelated side argument in this situation.
