If I would see two hunters cross my property like this then I'd run after them and offer them a cup of coffee. Some people can get unbelievably petty about these sort of things; a few years ago a neighbour called the police on me after I "invaded his property" by ... knocking on his front door; couldn't even open my mouth before he started shouting about it. Ended up having the police at my house three times over it until they told him to stop being a complete spanner. Some people's brains just work so differently that sometimes I think maybe there really are different human races and that we've just been using the wrong properties to classify them.

If the plane can't launch a strike without an affirmative approval from a human, then it would not have learned to kill its human operator in order to be able to strike SAMs without interference. Therefore "with the final go/no go given by the human" cannot be correct as you're interpreting it (and as I agree it probably should be interpreted).

I think it's worth remembering that these are selected comments from a talk at an event about a simulated test. We don't know what the parameters of the test are and the full report on it would probably be classified, we don't have the full talk, and humans don't always speak precisely. About all we know is that the USAF research division ran simulations of AIs in control of F-16s, and in those simulations the AI killed their operators and after that problem was partially mitigated it instead destroyed their operator's means of controlling them. We also know that at least one person within the US military (Col Hamilton) views this as a problem and at least seems to be taking it seriously, although not as seriously as I would like.
But you can still do it, right?

> In reality, the post-go-live support can take a surprising amount of time, but is rarely accounted for.

Really the most frustrating part of PM. I have never had a PM that understood "we could implement features faster if we took a little time to go back and tighten up the code". Instead it's just a constant stream of one feature after the next with whatever got written down the first time by a fresh college grad being the golden solution.

It's particularly frustrating because PM tend to measure success by the number of features produced. That alone incentivizes a fair number of devs to just pump out shit without thinking about what they are producing.
Also it requires both hands
It makes just as much sense as 17 (for utf8) in a JavaScript context, where charCodeAt(i) returns a utf-16 code point, and strings at least behave as though the implementation uses an array of uint16_t for the storage. Utf 16 is definitely not my favorite representation, but given that context (which the language imposes) 7 is an important number to be able to know.

You've never taken a psychedelic and felt you understood the meaning of life? I have personally solved all major conflicts and the middle east crisis multiple times. None of it stuck though...

With some technical problems I have certainly felt that I have solved them and come out with nothing but undecipherable scribble at the end. Once or twice something useful in the afterglow, but much of it is lost (or was never real to begin with)
"Character code" is short for "character code point" or just code point. All Unicode algorithms and properties are defined in terms of the code point. UTF encodings are just a way of encoding a code point. From Unicode's perspective, you care about what is encoded (i.e. the code point) and not how it is encoded (i.e. UTF-8).

Unicode is one of the most poorly understood topics. I think the confusion stems from 1. most programming languages getting the abstraction wrong, and 2. programmers trying to reconcile their non-technical interpretation of what "character" means.

> if addressing the issues

How confident are you that the issues can be addressed? How confident would you need to be to endorse deploying it out in the wild? How confident would you need to be that no "unforeseen" issues would arise?

I believe it's necessary to establish these levels of confidence even before discussing specific failure cases.

We would normally discuss failures in terms of base-rate comparison, but we don't have one for "how often autonomous weapons are unaligned?" Enumerating the failure modes isn't a substitute for the empirical distribution of failure mode probabilities.

It really depends on the software someone uses.

Windows or macOS? It isn't going to compete with a twiddled Linux distro.

Use mouse-heavy programs like DAWs, Photoshop et al? You're going to have a bad time in those mouse-heavy programs if all your cursor usage is with arrow keys, getting further and further away from the speed-of-thought.

If all someone does is lurk the CLI and their IDE, great for them, they'll probably love it. For the average schmoe or digital creative, not so much.

Equally though, I do a good chunk of my computer usage with just a keyboard, but the right tool for the task is required for anything else, e.g., MIDI controllers, mouse, graphics tablet, touchscreen, TrackPoint, trackball etc. They're just options. Pros and cons to all of them.

The "extermination" mentality is an extreme view, and inherently very niche. That's without even getting into gaming, or users who do game dev.

The fail rate for traders in a real trading firm is something like 50% anecdotally (i.e. 1/2 of those hired don't make past 12mo mark)

The fail rate for retail traders without the professional environment backing them would be >95%.

That is to say the best thing you could do to increase the probability of your success is to get in the door at a reputable place.

https://robotwealth.com/ is probably the only source of information for a retail trader that I'd recommend. It's still far inferior to actually getting a seat at a real shop.

There's plenty of work for programmers in trading companies too - much better job stability than for traders.

I agree with everything you said, I think I'm just trying to reconcile that with the top of thread saying python was the most correct because it was returning '7 code points' and that 'UTF-whatever is an implementation detail'

But 7 is not the number of code points/USVs - that's the number of UTF-16 code units. The string is 5 USVs. If UTF-whatever is an implementation detail, wouldn't the correct answer to length be 5?

What am I missing haha.

I think this article says the right thing. Sometimes it is, you have to be mindful of others around you. I know that's a rare concept in the USA especially. Everyone only thinks of themselves then gets mad when that attitude is turned around on them.

As a frequent flyer, who's 6ft 220lbs, on those rare occasions I don't get a first class upgrade I try to be very mindful of others around me. Not just reclining the seat but trying to keep my arms crossed in front of me to avoid encroaching on the person next to me. Because the simple fact is shoulders are as wide or wider than many coach seats.

People who reclining their seats during food or main drink service need to be spoken with by the flight attendants. I've never seen it happen here in the US but nearly every Asian flight I've been on during the food service they'll tell you to put your seat up. After cabin service and the lights go down for resting then it's less of a problem because everyone is now reclining.

Always consider how your actions effect others, even if that other person is rude. It seems to be in fashion to hate on Christianity but this simple concept of do unto others as you would have them do unto you is a concept that transcends religion and time.

Why is estimating hard?

1. You haven't done it before. Not exactly the same thing. You think you've done it before, but you haven't. If you had actually done it before, you would probably be faster this time, not slower.

2. Other things besides you have changed, or will change. Coworkers, company, customers, tools, economic realities, the weather. Either it's already changed, or it's going to change. That has an impact on deliverability, even for the exact same work. (but it's not the same work, because you haven't done it before)

3. You have changed, or will change. You're literally a different person since the last time you did it, and you haven't taken that into account, and now things take a different amount of work/time.

4. You're fallible. You just remembered wrong, guessed wrong, fucked up, forgot, etc.

5. Estimating is a skill. After a long career, you can look back at what you did and what happened, and look at what you've got now, and make an estimate. The more experienced you get, the better your estimates get. That doesn't mean they're accurate, because you can't control #2-4. But they'll certainly be closer.

My favorite is when I actually have a very strong feeling about an estimate, and I tell my boss, and he doesn't want to believe it, so he arbitrarily tries to find a way to get a better estimate. I end up right, he conveniently forgets my original estimate.

I feel that the Usenet protocol in hand with today's technologies should be amazing. It should be possible to make a very powerful client that summarizes groups discussions say, by day/week; filters spam pretty aggressively and sorts or "mutes" known trolls or bad users.

Why aren't there hard limits: 'Protect our humans at all costs, protect our own assets, obey all laws of war.'? That seems like an obvious, fundamental consideration. Killing our own (and civilians) shouldn't be a matter of "points"; it shouldn't be done regardless of points.
