> Are large language models even Turing complete?

If you want to see where they have problem ask them to do something about deep hierarchical objects. For example, consider this prompt: "Draw me a complete binary tree with numbers from 1 to 128 using pseudographics"

In my experience, the deeper the structure, the more problematic it is for the current generation of LLMs.
Bingo. More explicitly, there is no strong reason to think that the proteins from the correlational analysis are causal for dementia.

The proteins from the Mendelian randomization also don't have to be (can be in a pleiotropic pathway) but there is at least reason to think that they could be causal.
I've been interested in learning more about them and how to best utilize them in my company. What graph database and query language would you recommend (regardless of stack)?

Long-lost Greenland ice core suggests potential for disastrous sea level rise
>A recently discovered ice core taken from beneath Greenland’s ice sheet decades ago has revealed that a large part of the country was ice-free around 400,000 years ago, when temperatures were similar to those the world is approaching now, according to a new report – an alarming finding that could have disastrous implications for sea level rise.

There were a lot of scientists who have consistently messaged the dire significance, but were generally ignored as wolf criers. They still are, even in the face of evidence of their correctness.

Al Gore was spot on with his labeling. It’s an inconvenient truth. We love to ignore and downplay it because reacting appropriately would really throw a wrench in our plans for infinite capitalism.

Thesis does read very nicely and the quotes (see example in references) are converted to expected double quote pair.
The FTC has too much time on their hands. they're losing left right and center and are risking irrelevancy. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-21/microsoft.... They need to focus on the basics of what their agency is about. In addition there are other enforcement mechanisms including state regulation, private lawsuits, marketplace. We don't need the centralized control of the feds involved in everything.
And I think it's important to note that hype about "existential risk" is coming from people who stand to profit from "AI": https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/31/ai-poses-human-extinction-ri...

So it seems like the playbook is something like: 1) play up non-problems that, thanks to 50+ years of sci-fi killer AI, will seem real to the rubes; 2) breeze on past the numerous actual problems; 3) solve as few actual problems as possible as they race to capture billions of dollars.

But happily, the contents of this press release focus mostly on actual problems, so I have some hope that the Skynet gambit won't work.
The IAC tool could just as easily recognize the change as a part of the current state instead of the desired, and revert the drift. Whereas stored state would likely miss the drift without another process to compare and update the stored state against the actual.
It’s a four factor test.

I can recall visual "snapshots" of my road and places I know, but I can't hold them in mind or do anything with them, and as far as I can tell those flickers of visual memory are in part reconstructed from facts about those places, general knowledge and other snippets of visual memory. I very rarely don't know where I am or how to get somewhere, but that's based on knowing the connections between places as a network, not visualising a journey.
Hi OP here. Great question!

When I first thought of building this, I was thinking about people's different personalities (one for family, one for friends, one for work, etc) and their different interests (I'm a programmer, I'm a gamer, I'm a photograher, etc). So in short, the platform is built to allow one person to have multiple different versions of themselves. And people can choose to follow a user, or a user's specific personas.
If you look at actual quotes from people like Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Demis Hassabis, etc. the AI, that is to say really the AGI, that they want to build is a godlike super intelligent being. To many researchers in the field this is their end goal.
> encode a subtle pattern in the generated image which surives compression and isn't really human visible

This is basically a contradiction in terms. Compression attempts to throw away any and all data that "isn't really human visible," that's how it works. There isn't space for invisible watermarks by design. You can kind of get away with something "at the edge" that survives an initial JPEG encoding, but there's no way it's going to reliably survive e.g. resizing, cropping, and recompressing and still remain invisible.

Also, most AI generation content is presumably going to be text, not images. Good luck watermarking text that's a paragraph long. (There are potential tools that can operate on text the size of a news article, but are also trivially defeated by swapping a few prepositions and synonyms.)

> Terraform and Yaml are so verbose but that's not the most problematic. You can't execute those files from your local machine.

Have you ever actually used terraform? You execute it from your own local computer, or from CI/CD. It runs in a compute resource you own, not the cloud provider.
This is certainly a red flag for the organization (not necessarily the whole company).

I have a very senior position in a very large company. I still like to be be in the hiring process of some members of my teams - mostly because I do not want to miss good candidates that may be a bit unusual.

When hiring for my first line, I always wonder if the candidate could replace me. It is surprisingly difficult to find such people, who would be hardcore geeks and want to lead others.

I asked the "would tout like to be in my position" a few times to successful team members. A few responded "sure". I had them present to the board, lead teams, and all but one came back to say that they are done and want to come back to what they were doing. The one that stayed did well, she is a good CTO today.

I can't stand people who are scared by others and would sabotage a team. I can understand that one is afraid of competition but in a sane and big enough organization this can be worked out.
Great product!

I think the part that upsets me is he specifically calls out the problem CSS was meant to fix, but then presents the current usage of CSS doesn't fix the problem but instead inverts it. Instead of having to scour code for instances of an attribute you wish to change, you're scouring output for potential negative consequences to a 1px margin shift you added to a style used everywhere.

It seems like this will just amplify mistakes when a lowly dev tries to increase the available RAM of their resource and instead doubles the entire RAM allotment of a resource type for the entire enterprise.
> What do you mean by characterizing Snap! and its HTML extensions as a "custom-made visual programming kit"?

This is what I mean by custom-made:

> Undergraduate Fuchun Wang created a great set of blocks explicitly designed to look like SQL for manipulating CSV files. We used these blocks to talk about queries and database design in the class.

To me the fact that someone had to create this for this class indicates that this is not a common and well-supported way to build database-backed websites.

> Are Lisp macros a "custom-made domain specific language", therefore it's bad to make websites with Lisp if you use macros because they're "custom-made"?

I'm not saying that making websites with any tech is bad, but I think students should learn how to make websites using standard tech. And that's how I understood the goal here: My students build websites. And maybe a freelance web developer would be a better teacher then a CS professor.
That is a true problem, but an orthogonal one to what I am talking about. Gantt charts subtly, but deeply, work in the assumption that task failures will be Gaussian.

There are many problems with the whole "I can schedule the world months in advance" in the software world, even these two aren't all of them. There's a reason it isn't just sort of a failure, but such a comprehensive failure, across decades, across all scales of projects, or, rather, there's a lot of reasons.

This discussion ostensibly is focused on labeling that may be inaccurate, so I am not considering self identification.

Racist behavior is a judgement call to determine state of mind (behavioral patterns). Gay is a term that describes attraction to a similar gender, despite the overlap with other classifications (eg bi), which again is a judgement call about state of mind (behavioral patterns). Black is a label that also occurs due to behavior. Black is also a label based on a visual cue, which is arbitrary based on a pattern from personal experience. These terms are alike as labels, in these ways.

There's a post by OpenAI that was posted earlier:

https://openai.com/blog/moving-ai-governance-forward

In it they mention:

Bio, chemical, and radiological risks, such as the ways in which systems can lower barriers to entry for weapons development, design, acquisition, or use
Cyber capabilities, such as the ways in which systems can aid vulnerability discovery, exploitation, or operational use, bearing in mind that such capabilities could also have useful defensive applications and might be appropriate to include in a system
The effects of system interaction and tool use, including the capacity to control physical systems
The capacity for models to make copies of themselves or “self-replicate”
Societal risks, such as bias and discrimination

I think the risks are mostly unfounded but dont really see a problem considering them. What I don't like is the "societal risks" - AI ethics always end up just throwing out "bias" as an ill defined term that could mean whatever they want it to, the way people like to use "harm" and "toxicity". If we're going to make policy there needs to be crystal clarity about what this stuff means, it can't just be a proxy for stuff that does against a particular political view. Things like discrimination in employment are already illegal, I see this more as codifying a particular world view.
The original version was open sourced (Perl artistic License) http://arclanguage.org/ There is an active fork in https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki but it's totally independent and the current conde in HN can be (very) different.

My guess is that it's very difficult to keep all the details of the secret sauce hidden. They change the details very often. For example the front page is ordered by points/time^1.6, but the 1.6 changes from time to time without notice (I think it was 1.8 for some time, perhaps it's 1.8 or something else now. Some people have analyzed the front page and got compatible results, but I don't remember the exponent they found and I'm too lazy to try).

Yup, I'd agree with this. I enjoy the "cadence" of working with a team in sprints. In a previous role with a small team, it was good to look back on the past two weeks & call out the things in a group setting that had gone well, or hear about wins that I wasn't directly involved in. Just created a great sense of forward momentum which I personally found really motivating.
If some process wasn't working well for us (including the way we ran sprints) then the next retrospective would only be a couple of weeks away & we could discuss if it needed changing then. By the time I left it felt like we'd got a really well-oiled machine going.
That kind of frequent communication and sense of shared forward momentum is one of the things I actually really miss now that I'm working solo again to be honest.
Thank you! Yes absolutely. Even during the development of my MVP, both Twitter and Reddit were... well we all know what happened. I was just shaking my head.

Those materials exist (see Apiezon vacuum grease and Lesker vacuum sealant). In less-demanding or desperate applications, they can work.

But like similar last-ditch repairs (think automobile muffler tape or radiator sealant), they only occasionally last. Usually the best thing to do is to go actually fix the problem.

The above advice assumes you're trying to maintain high vacuum (10^-5 torr or lower pressure). At low vacuum (10^-3 torr and above), that trickery can work wonders.
IMO sprints are a barely-adequate substitute for a coherent vision with priorities. In a chaotic (dysfunctional) business environment where things change on a whim, sprints serve as a firewall to provide a few days/weeks of focus.

If everyone on the team is aligned and knows what the priorities are, sprints are rarely needed. When you do sprint, it's reserved for real emergencies. You don't need to play games to carve out time for X because everyone agrees that X needs to get done. Then when X is done, you move onto Y. Serialize. I won't say it's the only way to build software, but this method almost always produces a superior quality product compared to arbitrarily carving up tasks and trying to bin-pack them into sprints.

I don't think there is any way to control AI. The technology and concepts are out of the bag and the hardware will get stronger while the implementation gets better.

Trying to govern the handful of companies with an edge right now, when this tech will be completely democratized in short time, is pointless.

Regulations and recommendations should center around the use of AI by individuals. Enforcing AI disclosure requirements for organizations that create lifelike images for parody, with some kind of watermark or overt disclosure.

I assume we are talking about non human perceptible forensic watermarks on images and video? I think these are generally a good idea; Photoshop, Camaras, most image output systems should do the same.

While by no meas full proof; a web of signatures on images and video would lay down a lot of forensic data that would help legitimate publication do digital signed citations and help identify causal misrepresentation.

Casual misrepresentation is probably be the most common case since the idea with fake vial content pushes is to be seen and to say that "real or not" does not matter.
