> as having no objective ties to Nazi ideologies. While you deny that

If you go back and read what I said, I said:

> what is the evidence either of them is a "nazi sympathizer"?

That's not denying anything. That's simply asking what the evidence is.

When asking what the evidence for an assertion is gets the response:

> This is not good faith, and screams as neonazi apologism.

I don't think we are engaging in rational discussion any more. Continued engagement is pointless.
I hold a master in philosophy and it was my first big love.

Over the years I came however to a conclusion opposite to yours.

> Also, philosophy underpins science. Whenever a hypothesis is tested, there is are philosophically-grounded assumptions being made. The epistemological implications for any given scientific finding depend on the underlying philosophical framework being assumed.

I think that is not true. Science does not get its merit from philosophical underpinnings, but from working in practice.

Methods that work to generate and test knowledge. Math is the precise language needed to speak about these methods and the knowledge. Also because it works. Look at the achievements of science. That is how you get convinced it gives us a grip on reality. Hic Rhodos, hic salta.

My working assumption at this time is that philosophy has no such methods. We are not further than when Kant said that no fighter ever won and could stand his ground in metaphysics on any topic.

The reason might be that philosophy is actually practically mostly irrelevant. I have not seen one undisputed statement of philosophy. And so it can neither test its statements, nor let others see their validity.

I concede it is practically relevant in another sense: world views have taken grip of groups and still do, and influence history one way or the other. But that seems at least to me more a social-anthropological phenomenon like support and resistance in trading.
Again, you are excluding the critical phrase legitimate claim, which is at the heart of Weber's definition. That is, the right and legitimacy of that right, is restricted to the state, or an entity acting in the effective capacity of a state, whatever it happens to call itself.

Absent this, one of three conditions exist:

1. There is no monopoly. In which case violence is widespread, and there is no state.

2. There is no legitimacy. In which case violence is capricious.

3. Some non-state power or agent assumes the monopoly on legitimate violence. In which case it becomes, by definition The State.

You might want to consider what a "state" which lacks a monopoly on the legitimate claim to the monopoly on force would look like. To what other entity would it cede that legitimate claim, and/or how would it prevent other entities from enacting capricious violence, as has occurred from time to time in the world, and even now.

The state's claim is to legitimacy. A capricious exercise would be an abrogation of legitimacy

Weber, Max (1978). Roth, Guenther; Wittich, Claus (eds.). Economy and Society. Berkeley: U. California Press. p. 54.

<https://archive.org/details/economysociety00webe/page/54/mod...>

The "monopoly on violence" or "monopoly on force" short-hands are a much more recent emergence, and seem to originate with Murray Rothbard (1960s) and Robert Nozick (1970s), though widespread usage of that phrase really only begins to take off after 1980, per Google's Ngram Viewer: <https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=monopoly+on+vi...>

That shorthand has become quite popular, and is often cited by Libertarians as key to their adopting that particular ideology.[1] As expressed by them the formulation is both incorrect and misleading.

After reading the article I still don’t know what “platform engineering” is meant to refer to.
Thankfully, in the niche I'm interested in it's still common. On my Librem 5 I can replace the battery with nothing but a fingernail to take the back cover out, and could do so the same way on all the other smartphone's I've used in the past too.
This is a terrible indication of what is to come. Cheap, accessible, and fully featured instructors that would otherwise be free and open source, contained and used for profit by in-name-only institutions, organizations and corporations for the purpose of increased profit from the reduction in human labor.

Every ounce of AI should be open source and free to the public. This is absolutely technological terrorism on the scale of encoding things in Latin to keep it from the masses.
Greece was conquered by Rome in the 2nd century BC, i.e. 200 years before Christianity, let alone its Catholic and Orthodox variants.
Even in the worst case, recidivism rates only reach around 2/3. That means punishment (incarceration) reforms criminals 1/3 the time. When you consider all of the problems with prisons in the U.S., and all of the hurdles offenders have to pass in order to successfully reintegrate into society, it’s quite remarkable that so many manage to do so.

There are plenty of medical interventions, particularly for mental illnesses, that would dream of 1/3 effectiveness. Now consider the fact that recidivism rates are often much lower than 2/3, and in many cases are closer to 1/3. That tells me that punishment actually is quite effective at reducing crime.

No, at least not in a heavily regulated industry because then other obligations e.g. patching become a much bigger issue.

The big benefit of MSSQL and Oracle SQL is that your database server is almost completely detached from the operating system the likelihood of a system update changing how your database works is nill. With Postgres and other databases it’s not a given. Ironically on Windows you get to extract quite a bit of that back since Postgress on Windows comes with most of its own libraries, however that’s also part of the problem where you can easily have material differences between running Postgress on Windows and Linux.
What's your favorite interface for GPT API?
When you use OpenAI GPT API, you want an interface where you can quickly change model used, temperature, etc. and get results with nice formatting.

There might be extra features like prompt library/templates, text to speech, etc.
Also, ways to send long chat history to the API without exceeding the context limit.

So what's you favorite? Free or paid.

For me, I found Chatbox [1] to be good for now. I tried ChatGPT Next Web [2] which seems to have advanced features but I couldn't learn how they work because most of the documentation is in Chinese. I tried Lore [3] a while ago and it seemed to have a great UX but when I wanted to try it again, I found that my trial was over and couldn't try it more nor know if it's still being updated.

This sounds purely theoretical. And still even if compiler would be able to coalesce multiple branches into less, such branchy code still cannot be faster than the branchless one.
Nothing like bruteforcing intelligence by simply building a large enough lookup table to contain responses to all potential questions.

This seems like it assumes the Xbox's target audience are kids, which doesn't automatically follow. It's like thinking rock music is greasy kids' stuff: Update your mental model. The MTV generation has grandkids now.

In short, Ford doesn't release the Ford 5 because it knows the Ford 4 is old news. (Also, get a horse, ya durn kids.)

Anyway, research:

> Most Xbox One gamers reside in the 25- to 34-year-old bracket, followed closely by the 35- to 44-year-old bracket.

> 56 percent of Xbox One owners live with a married spouse or partner, 10 percent live alone, and 23 percent live with their parents.

> Many Xbox One owners have an annual income of around $75,000.

I'd say I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac, but both of those references are outdated these days.
That's exactly how it works. Spend more time, cover more edge cases.

This sounds like a classic "my developer reckons he can do this in 2 hours (but never actually has)". The reality is your developer is crap at estimating.

A good developer will be lucky to produce 100 lines a day. if you doubt that check your git history (excluding autogenerated crap).

So unless the project you're setting people needs, on average, 25 lines, whatever you're setting people is clearly not a 2 hour project. And that's not even taking into account whatever hurdles you've inadvertently put in the task, strange build config, obscure libraries, out-of-date libraries, non-standard formatting, etc.

Could you tell us what the average length of a submisson is?

One task I got given a year or two back had an old version of Vue, linting rules that conflicted with the defaults of the 'usual' IDE you'd use, wanted you to create 3 new backend API endpoints and a new frontend page with non-trivial functionality. Plus they wanted units tests.

That's a 2 day job. They also claimed it would take an hour or two.
This is a great set of observations.

The only thing missing is an analysis of how much power it takes to accomplish each of these tasks. If ChatGPT-4 is at about 1:1 in terms of “effectiveness”, all that remains is to divide by the amount of power required to reach the answer using ChatGPT-4 vs by conventional means. If requires significantly more energy, then it’s a waste, and because of climate change we should really not pursue it further, IMO.
Besides the pure textual representation of such files (.md, .txt), you still have the same problem for any (natively) supported Docs file format. It is, somehow, in the user's own option to use Drive as a repo for ultra-sensitive info or avoid it (but, unfortunately, this informed opinion applies more often to the more tech-savvy people).

NASA was broadly happy with technical feasibility for Red Dragon, which pretty much just repurposed Dragon 2's biprop abort motors to land >1 ton on Mars for their estimate of $150-190m/launch. They didn't go forward with it, but this was early 2010s so that's not much surprise.

With infinite mass in Mars orbit, you'd presumably want to scale up, but while this marginally hurts aerobraking performance, you have vastly more mass margin to just bring a bit more propellant.

If course, you'd probably still want to land something in scope of what you can launch from Earth dry in one flight, but for sure we're still talking >5 tons there, probably more like 10.
> By every definition this is open source software.

No, it's not.

"If you are creating an open source application" is a usage restriction/discrimination. That's not allowed for open source licenses.

It also follows that it runs foul of GPL3's prohibition on additional restrictions.

I guess it's supposed to be a user-friendly wording about using it in your own development (this is GPL code, you can link it with your GPL code).

But it actually means that unless you're developing open source software, you may not use it. Not even unmodified.

It's probably not what the creator means, though.
the world is incredibly filled with risk to humans—people in the AI doomer camp are making a claim that AI potentially is a new kind of uncontrollable risk that warrants extraordinary regulation

the basis of this claim seems to be a confusion of logical or deductive reasoning with inductive or observational reasoning

argument comes down to

- it’s possible to imagine a super intelligent machine that has properties that will kill everyone (this is an exercise in logical reasoning)

- since it’s possible to imagine it, this means it will come into existence — this is an error because things that exist in the real, physical world do so based on physical processes governed by inductive reasoning

generally, there is a long series of steps between the imagining of some constructed, complex machine and its realization, along with its conceptual foundations it requires sustained effort, trial and error, maintenance, generally a serious fight against entropy to make it function and keep it functioning

the sort of out of control AI imagined by AI doomers is not something we’ve seen before

so we shouldn’t make costly decisions based upon this confusion of reasoning

> the stage where it is very difficult to reach out to any user and get feedback from them

I wasn't aware that was a normal stage of development - we've always had the opposite problem, of people bombarding so much feedback that we had to spend a ton of time sorting it out to truly derive the best direction.

What were the reasons behind it being difficult to get feedback?
I want to continue this series on building LLM-based apps to test some ideas that I have. In the first installment of this tutorial, I will explain my thought process for building an LLM-based movie recommender app.
I actually got this idea from ChatGPT. I asked ChatGPT to list 10 free APIs that I could use and when it did, I chose the TMDB API. I then asked ChatGPT for ideas on what kind of LLM-based app I could build using the TMDB API. That’s where the idea comes from. Nothing fancy. This is just another proof of the usefulness of tools like ChatGPT for idea generation or brainstorming.
They must do that for compliance and licencing reasons. Laws around regional copyrights have always been strong. They can't even show subtitles in languages weren't licenced in the country - e.g. Spanish netflix offers very few shows with English subs.
Drive totally chokes if you have tons of tiny files. Lots of things do but Drive is the worst I have seen. I unwisely tried to put a full MAME set on Drive once, and then deleted it. The files never got “deleted” but rather were still in my drive, but not associated with any particular folder, so I could search for them but not see them any other way. Another time, lots of files ended up in Trash, but Drive was unable to ever actually empty the trash.

One thing that bites me every few months is that on iOS, the Google Drive file provider extension does not support basic operations. Like I think I have tried to just save a file to Google Drive via Files and it never uploaded. It’s not just that this stuff works with iCloud Drive, but also with Dropbox, Box, and even SFTP shares mounted via Secure Shellfish.
Not sure you read my comment carefully enough. I am an optimist. I do believe that AI can and probably will be a positive and transformative force.

But I also think it's more anticipatory than speculative to envision AI systems (quite possibly on the request of a human faction) taking control.

And GPT-4 absolutely does do abstract reasoning and subgoals. No it doesn't have many other capabilities or characteristics of humans or other animals but as I said it doesn't need those to be dangerous.

We need to prohibit manufacture or design AI hardware that has performance beyond a certain level. It is not too early to start talking about a risk that could end humanity. I do hope that we can get away with something a few orders of magnitude better than what we have today, but it's really of asking for trouble the more we optimize it, and we may be walking a fine line within a decade or so. Or less. It takes years to design hardware and get manufacturing online, especially for new approaches.

And two orders of magnitude faster may be only a few years away.

The interesting question for me is if self driving type tech will be able to fix this. I mean things along the lines of Tesla fsd are probably worse than humans at the moment but improving in an exponential manner year on year and if they get 50% better each year in terms of miles between accidents then within a decade they'll be much safer than humans.

You wouldn't have to have self drive on but it could still break etc if you looked like hitting something.

Probably also the tech will get cheaper and become widespread. It'll be interesting to see.
No, a 3 attach rate was huge, I said in a previous reply other consoles at the time were around 1.25. Over the lifetime older consoles needed around 5 games per console to break even and Xbox 360 hit that super fast compared to the competition.

This needs to be noted that it’s average as in 5 games per unit sold. So two consoles and 10 games sold to one person. The attach rate is a term related to games sold with the console at time of console purchase.

360 for sure was selling for a loss on cogs, that was rectified with the Xbox one that I believe was 400 cogs for 500 retail. It frustrated a ton of folk because 360 was 300 retail, but this was a clear change to make the console profitable without sales since they were worried people were buying it as a media device, hence the media focus of the Xbox one.

Just to be clear they managed to reduce the cogs with the Xbox 360 small and sold them at a profit without license sales.

I am an introvert. I would probably start to feel lonely after a few weeks without human contact. However, interacting with people anonymously on a forum such as this one would have no bearing on that experience. It does not deplete my social energy, and nor does it meet my social needs. It's just not the same experience at all; it feels more like reading a book or writing a paper, which I experience as an intellectual exercise, not a social exercise.

Maybe they should, first, wait for the TSMC "n2" with high-na ASML photolitographers process to be _really_ in production.

And I don't mention chips with silicon real estate of apple M1/M2 & chiplets.

This maybe the near final, or the final production process before becoming REALLY hard (aka not worth) to have robust mass produced chips.
It is their market to regulate.

And right to repair is very much a part of EU regulations. Without those regulations you'd be in a far worse situation.

If BMW idiocy gets you upset: don't drive BMW. My car is 25 and I can do just about anything I want on it. Your beef is first and foremost with BMW, and I'm fairly sure that if the EU deems this kind of behavior anti competitive it will be smacked down, even if the participants are all EU based.

You seem to want regulation to be perfect, but in light of manufacturer abuses it's a catch-up game.

I agree with you that changing out a battery (which is a pretty common affair) should never require a trip to the stealer.
That's not great - those devices really do not have space for a replaceable battery. And no, I don't want them bigger than they already are.
Depending on the level of pupils it can be safe, but after taking part in moocs with people of various skill levels, it's fair to assume that a lot will be lost in confusion without the ability to discern correct from incorrect.
