> But I'd still say it's really bad and we should try to figure out in advance how to minimise this outcome.

For sure. But I don't see what's AI specific about it. If the AI doom scenario is a super smart AI tricking people into doing self destructive things by using clever words, then everything you need to do to vaccinate people against that is the same as if it was humans doing the tricking. Teaching critical thinking, self reliance, to judge arguments on merit and not on surface level attributes like complexity of language or titles of the speakers. All these are things our society objectively sucks at today, and we have a ruling class - including many of the sorts of people who work at AI companies - who are hellbent on attacking these healthy mental habits, and people who engage in them!

> Not seen academics get stick before, except in history books.

For academics you could also read intellectuals. Marx wasn't an academic but he very much wanted to be, if he lived in today's world he'd certainly be one of the most famous academics.

I'm of the view that corporations are very tame compared to the damage caused by runaway academia. It wasn't corporations that locked me in my apartment for months at a time on the back of pseudoscientific modelling and lies about vaccines. It wasn't even politicians really. It was governments doing what they were told by the supposedly intellectually superior academic class. And it isn't corporations trying to get rid of cheap energy and travel. And it's not governments convincing people that having children is immoral because of climate change. All these things are from academics, primarily in universities but also those who work inside government agencies.

When I look at the major threats to my way of life today, academic pseudo-science sits clearly at number 1 by a mile. To the extent corporations and governments are a threat, it's because they blindly trust academics. If you replace Professor of Whateverology at Harvard with ChatGPT, what changes? The underlying sources of mental and cultural weakness are the same.

It picks up a political agenda near the end when it shows the authorities to be clueless, and suspecting entirely the wrong people, but more generally the film has political origins.

When 7/7 happened, we saw the CCTV footage; Yorkshiremen getting on a train at Luton. Three of the four bombers were from Leeds, they were born in the UK, what on earth possessed them to go to London and try blowing it up? Fanciful notions of being a mujahideen? Some disconnect of belonging to the UK when they were clearly brought up fully within it?

I'm pretty sure Morris said he made the film to answer that question.

Monkey Dust series 2 (broadcast 2003, two years prior to the attack) had a similar examination with its Abdul and Shafiq sketches.

I think your definition of success is just different. If you define success as moving upwards and having a very comfortable life, I agree with you.

But if you define success as becoming super-rich with your startup and investing, that's mostly what the poster above you says.
I'm not supporting this.
Thanks for finding that, looks like it might indeed increase risks.

> We enrolled 423 participants (199 intervention; 224 control). Eighty-six percent of those randomized to PSH received housing compared with 36 percent in usual care.

> Seventy (37 treatment; 33 control) participants died.

That’s a very high risk population.

> We found a similar high mortality rate in both treatment and control groups. Individuals experiencing homelessness have a greater age-adjusted mortality rate than housed counterparts.25 Among those who died, 89 percent of those in the intervention group had been housed compared with 28 percent in the control group.

I really want to pattern match, but it’s just not enough data. Worse they may have undercounted deaths in the control group. “Abode provided data on death for all participants who died while living in Abode housing. We queried County death certificate data on all participants who did not appear in any source of study data for 6 or more months.”

Do you have a citation? A search for "cocaine rat study" mostly turned up references to the Rat Park experiment, which used morphine. A later study comparing heroin and cocaine found that social isolation increased overall usage of heroin (apparently because the isolated rats picked up the habit faster) but not cocaine, and that by the fifth week of the study usage rates were similar between isolated and non-isolated groups for both drugs [1].

The GIL problem won't be solved by throwing engineer hours at it (not even Meta engineers). Fundamentally every single piece of python code ever written will have to stop and now worry about potential race conditions with innocent things like accessing a dictionary item or incrementing a value. It's a massive education and legacy code problem at least on the same scale as the python 2 to 3 migration.

I honestly don't think the community is ready for this change and don't expect to ever see stock cpython drop the GIL--perhaps there will be a flag to selectively operate a python process without the GIL (and leave the onous on you to completely test and validate your code works with potentially new and spooky behaviour).
In terms of companies that rip off open source and do not give back meta is certainly one of the more active "give back" companies. React/Native, docusaurus, buck, pytorch, rocksdb...
> This is the best-kept secret of the software engineering profession: engineers hate code. Especially code written by other people. It's why they love working on greenfield projects so much. No code, no maintenance, no headaches!

Except that I've met lots of engineers who were the opposite. They hate greenfield projects and prefer maintaining existing code. I noticed this broad division of personality early in my career. And it's a great thing -- both sorts of engineers are critical to a successful project.
From the referenced Altman piece:

> Self-belief is immensely powerful. The most successful people I know believe in themselves almost to the point of delusion.

Careful with this. This can be very counterproductive for your team/partners/customers/etc.

Such as when it drives bad decisions that you want to believe, but if you had a slightly less supermassive ego, you would've collaborated better with people, or individually thought harder and more creatively to come up with a path that was actually viable.

Or such as when your self-belief is so strong that you're misrepresenting situations to others who depend on your assurances.

Or cutting corners and breaking rules that you really ethically/legally can't, because you think it's justified or will work out in the end.

You need enough confidence to attempt and persevere at difficult things. But not so much that it's a liability.

Which prompts:

> “I will fail many times, and I will be really right once” is the entrepreneurs’ way. You have to give yourself a lot of chances to get lucky.

While you keep playing the lottery, don't let your ego leave a trail of bodies.
I think there is a larger question about the role that celebrities, influencers, meme accounts, thirst trap accounts, or any other account that is incentivized to post play on social media.

You immediately saw the energy and positivity drop as these groups arrived to threads. Perhaps it was a mix of egotism, phoniness, and shallow attempts at engagement, but you also saw engagement and follows rise with that group.

The head of Instagram has said that news is going to be less of a priority for them, which coincides with Canadian legislation demanding pay for links and upcoming US legislation that is expected to be similar.

I would love to see them deprioritize these financially motivated accounts and try to focus more on local and more genuine interactions, otherwise they will just fall into the same trap Twitter has been stuck in for years.

Ultimately, these accounts drive engagement but perhaps there is a cost to the long-term health or viability of the platform when taking this approach. Given Meta has seemingly no need to monetize Threads, I hope they try new approaches that are healthier for the platform and better for their users rather than cheap engagement.

> you have to abandon the "show don't tell" because the presentation is sent out to a bunch of people that don't attend the meetings afterward

I think there is a misunderstanding about what "show don't tell" means.

In a presentation like that tell means: "Our underwater robot is very stealthy." while show means "Our robot spent 2 weeks trailing a nuclear submarine of ours without the submarine being aware of our presence. Here is a picture we took of the submarine's sail, and here is the statement of the captain saying he had no idea." (Obviously this is a silly example, please don't spook people with the biggest, meanest sticks.)

Show means showing your results and tell means describing how awesome you think you are without evidence. It has nothing to do with whether or not your audience attends the presentation.

This is similar to fiction writing, where tell means that you describe what someone is like, while show is describing how that behaviour/emotion appears. For example tell would be "George was angry", while show would be "George banged on the door with two fists, his veins bulging with barely contained rage."
> Harvard, for example, quadruples the patient’s income.

Bullshit. 98% of Harvard students graduate: https://college.harvard.edu/resources/faq/what-harvards-grad...

Questionable essay if it can’t get basic premises correct.

Edit: Selection bias. Rich people go to Harvard. Hardly surprising that Harvard graduates have different outcomes from the general population. For example:

The median family income for Harvard undergraduates is $168,800—more than three times the national median, according to a recent study.

Edit: Don’t use Harvard as an example of university causing positive outcomes because the group of people that enter Harvard are not representative

How to Succeed: Lessons from Stockton Rush
I don't want to pass judgement on another posters parents, even though you told your personal story here, so I'll answer your comment as best as I can with that in mind. You shouldn't be so eager to pass judgement on me either. You don't know me or my life.

Poverty or a poor upbringing is not a badge of honour, but many people see it as such and maybe you've become accustomed to easily shutting up anybody by saying that they have no idea what it's like being poor. Okay, but how do you make progress from that?

I stand by my point that if somebody can't pay a very small yearly fee for access to the content or service they want, then they weren't that interested. If you are so poor that you can't afford $10 per year, then you have much bigger problems than accessing some online content of interest. The goal for a person in that situation or somebody who wants to help them is to get out of poverty, not to cope.

As for getting the devices for free, the same argument could be applied to online content: You can get information for free at a library, you can socialize with any friend by meeting in person. It's a less convenient experience than having it at home, but using a discarded device is also a less convenient experience.

I find your arguments about "classism" a bit strange. Is it "classism" that some stuff is more expensive in the supermarket? Is it "classism" that the plumber charges his hourly fee to the poor as well as to the rich? That an iPhone costs a thousand dollars?

Is it "classism" that an employer pays a wage that is much lower than what the worker produces? Yes! Is it "classism" that you have to indebt yourself for life to afford a home or pay rent for literally nothing? Yes! Is it classism that a large percentage of the population spend their whole life without ever having done anything productive, because they have unlimited taps for money taken as taxes from workers? Yes!

But instead of being upset at those who are to blame for poverty, it is easier to direct that rage towards some internet poster like me, who dares to suggest that not everything should be free.

Here are what I see as the options to have online services:

1. Current ad-fueled, spam-ridden content and social networks

2. Cheap paid content and social networks

3. Creators work for free, making content for your benefit without any reimbursement. After some time they burn out or can't afford the time it takes.

4. Pirating. Mainstream creators can take it, small time creators go broke.

5. You vote for communism so that content creators get paid by the government and everybody can benefit for free. The content will be what the communist government prefers for you to have.

I prefer option 2.
I find lisp much nicer to read than most languages.

C/Java etc (which I was a professional in) have too many bits to the syntax - braces and semi-colons and the execution is not necessarily shown by the format.

I also like python for similar reasons.
I'm a big fan of Monkey Dust, but due to legal complications with the music copyrights, they were only able to release the first season on DVD. Pirating is the only way too watch seasons 2 and 3.

I agree with you and I have no plans to sign up for threads, but I have to admit that there's some part of my monkey brain that has softened on meta throughout all this. I am not saying that feeling is justified; only admitting it's there.

Almost every single data structure access in python, even reading a dictionary item, at some level depends on the GIL for true correctness right now. It is very deeply embedded in cpython.

Another context here is a few centuries of past and current Anglo-sphere (UK, Canada, Australia) farming contracts and sales in general.

Stock, grain, feed, etc has been routinely traded in yards, auctions, annual shows in large units ( a years worth of lambs, feed for six months ) on the basis of a price and amount agreed upon with terse affirmatives.

A nod, a handshake, a yep, a thumbs up have all been used to seal similar scale transactions in agriculture since formal law came into being making it a solid part of common law.
Personal example I am living through.

By the estimates of another team, it will take 2-3 months to build a wrapper around their codebase (it is that entangled) and throw that in EC2. The whole project will become infested with that codebase and those issues because as we all know, a “temporary fix” is never temporary. The codebase doesn’t cover anywhere near what we have in mind for features and extensibility is … yeah.
I really like the idea of coroutines. I've also implemented an unrolled switch based state machine coroutines in Java that imitates async/await.

I am unsatisfied with coroutines in C, I ported some assembly from a blog post (down atm) to run coroutines in GNU Assembler syntax

https://github.com/samsquire/assembly/blob/main/coroutines.S
https://blog.dziban.net/coroutines/ ( down)

I've been thinking of what would be a good syntax for coroutines. I like the design of Erlang, Go and Pony. But I would like a syntax that provides very good control over coroutine hierarchies. Here's some syntax I'm playing with:

I like the idea of Go's channels, for yielding, what if you want to yield to different places? So I'm trying to incorporate that idea.

This example creates 10 producers that talk to 1 consumer:

producers = []

task Producer():
while running:
output.yield(1)

task Consumer():
while running:
value = input.read()
print(value)

for index in range(0, 10):
producers = Producer()
producers.append(producer)
producer.output -> consumer.input

consumer = Consumer()

This example takes 1 producer and wires them to 10 consumers:

multiple_consumers = []
one_producer = Producer()
for item in range(0, 10):
consumer = Consumer()
multiple_consumers.append(consumer)
one_producer.output -> multiple_consumers

I've been thinking of using the -> operator to wire up channels of coroutines. You can even wire up to a collection of coroutines.

I want to handle 1:1, 1:* and *:1 and *:* and load balancing. How do you suggest I create these hierarchies syntactically?
Weird statement. Of course Nvidia has belief: they believe AI will brings more profit in long term than crypto will.
When meth was literally 15$ a gram back in my youth (shipping hub) there was no one robbing anyone for it, as an hour or two at any job would pay for a GRAM (large amount) of Pure meth (and I mean high quality pure without any opacity nor color).

Back then most people I knew were using it, in the same way they would use an energy drink, and there were nearly no problems aside from the morons who wouldn't stop parting for a week at a time (but those folks would do the same with Any substance).

Really... Where I grew up the literal mayor was doing coke on the regular and also owned many businesses including the baseball team... And so were most of the successful people doing lots of drugs particularly uppers.

What happened was as they pushed enforcement against the drugs the quality decreased and the cost went up, posing a more immediate health risk and inducing crimes respectively.

I know from first hand experience with both the products and the propel that the biggest issue is the mere fact of thier illegality and extreme markups.

A key is to not have the government view the drug as a profit centre, as Canada did with pot, as that only grows the black market and strengthens them rather than destroy them.
I'd be much more interested in the Linux situation on this laptop. Most of the UI applications I use casually or CLI apps are available on ARM (I have them running fine on a Pinephone, so the experience on a laptop will only be better).

But not sure how the dev workflow would be: Podman, IntelliJ, Sublime Text, etc.. And some casual stuff like Calibre, Thunderbird, Joplin.

Oh and how much would the battery life improvement be. I already get 4~5+ hours on my 5 year old Thinkpad, so an improvement to 6 hours is not really worth it.

How is the BIOS and openness on these systems? I always heard the arm laptops are way more locked down than the x86 ones.
