No, there's an absolute threshold (or a set of them) below which consciousness, emotion, sentience, and sapience are simply not present.

It's not a matter of perspective. It's objective reality.

A rock does not experience emotions. It doesn't matter whether I look at it from the perspective of a human or of an earthworm.

A cat definitely experiences emotions. It doesn't matter whether I look at it from the perspective of a dog or of a superintelligent shade of the color blue.

(Note that there is some fuzzy territory somewhere in between these two—but the existence of a fuzzy line doesn't mean we can't say with certainty that things beyond that fuzziness are clearly on one side or the other.)

There is no current program that exhibits the bare minimum traits required to say that it is has any of the above qualities. They may not be fully predictable to humans, but that is not the same thing as having self-awareness, continuity of learning, or any of the other things that are absolute prerequisites for consciousness and thus emotion.
Likewise. I also really like being able to quickly diff diagram versions to quickly see what is new since the last version.

That’s been so convenient to me, I now strongly prefer mermaidjs over more featured tools like lucid or Visio or draw.io.

Thanks for your feedback!

> Something McKinley doesn't address is that it's quite advantageous if the values in your data warehouse don't change intra-day because this lets business users reach consensus. Whereas if Bob runs a report and gets $X, and Alice runs the same report 5 minutes later and gets $Y, that creates confusion (much more than you would expect). I recall a particular system I built that refreshed every 6 hours (limited by upstream), that eventually Marketing asked me to dial back to every 24 hours because they couldn't stand things changing in the middle of the day.

If they want to see a consistent view of the report, you could bound this.

1/ SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE DATE_TRUNC('day', updated_at) < DATE_TRUNC('day', DATEADD(day, -1, CURRENT_DATE()));

If your dataset doesn't contain kv, you can turn on include `artie_updated_at` which will provide an additional column with the updated_at field to support incremental ingestion.

2/ If you had stateful data, you could also explore creating a Snowflake task and leveraging the time travel f(x) to create a "snapshot" if your workload depended on it.

3/ Also, if you _did_ want this to be more lagged, you can actually increase the flushIntervalSeconds [1] to 6h, 24h, whichever time interval you fancy. You as the customer should have maximum flexibility when it comes to when to flush to DWH.

4/ You can also choose to refresh the analytical report on Looker / Mode to be daily. [2]

> Now of course I see you're targeting more real-time use cases like fraud detection. That's great! But why you would run a fraud detection process out of your data warehouse, which likely doesn't even have a production-grade uptime SLA? Run it out of your production database, that's what it's for!

You can certainly do this in production db (that was our original hypothesis as well!), however, after talking to more companies...it has become more obvious to us that folks that are running fraud algos actually want to join this across various data sets. Further, by using a DWH - it provides a nice visualization layer on top.

Of course, you could go with something even more bespoke by utilizing real-time DBs such as Materialize / Rockset / RisingWave. Just comes with trade offs such as increase in architectural complexity.

There are also plenty of additional use cases this can unlock given that DWH is a platform, any post-DWH application can benefit from less lag, such as reverse ETLs.

Well, if the word order is the most important aspect (as it is to me) then you have to think of another word you can use instead of "of". I know that in my early Haskell programming I was writing `intOfString` where other Haskellers wrote `stringToInt`. I'm a native English speaker so it certainly had nothing to do with French! "Of" just seemed to fit naturally there. Do you think "From" or some other English word would be more natural?
If you're concerned about the rise of "incels" and gender relations generally, it's difficult to see how a façade of a woman that's programmed to say and do whatever said incel wants isn't reinforcing all the negative stereotypes associated with that group of people.
I'm launching an AI Automation Agency, so not using openai is almost impossible, but I'm betting and hoping that competition and especially open source and customized models become more apt at cutting down the market control that openai has.

I see custom/open models being the future for corporations anyways as adhoc/private solutions will be more ideal than sending all corporate data through an api.
"Blast radius"? Bit dramatic. Where's the trauma normally associated with blast zones? I don't see it.

While that's certainly an option, it would require both that I remember to grab my accumulated coins before leaving for the shop and that I spend extra time feeding them into the machine. These friction points will probably lead me to my current path of least resistance, tossing my coins into a container on my dresser and dealing with them about once a decade when it fills up.

For related reasons, I like the blog's claim that much of the difficulty in establishing whether the proposition is true or not is because none of the wealth of literature on attention span was in the form of long term studies. Perhaps the researchers got bored and moved on to something else!

I feel increasing frustration every time I see a graph with a clear upward trend being waved off as "probably just better awareness". I am even more frustrated when it's a graph tracking some mental health issue. If adult ADHD numbers have doubled, that should mean something.
I also saw the author distinguished internal versus output softmax. I think he'd apply his modification only to internal softmax and let the external force an output.

In my personal experience, the first step in tuning Apache was "put a nginx server in front of it". Running out of workers (either processes in the prefork model, or threads otherwise) was in my experience way too easy, especially when keepalive is enabled (even a couple of seconds of keepalive can be painful). The async model used by nginx can handle a lot more connections before running out of resources.

It's hard to tell but, you seem to be implying that you think pro-gas stove talking points seem to be fake. To be perfectly honest _both_ sides of that argument seem to be "generated from outrage-tuned talking points". The loudest people from both perspectives are obnoxious and full of it and the whole thing seems to be a stupid waste of attention.
Apple has gone back and forth on if they care about games but I don't think I'd call it contempt. A bad strategy where they burn bridges with game developers due to talking a big game then not following through? Absolutely but "contempt" is a step too far I think.

That isn’t true at all. Train a smaller model on a smaller dataset. You can even train on your laptop. It’s definitely feasible. This is just a proof of concept, it doesn’t need to beat state of the art.

The article does mention that the general model it advocates is that of classic Internet forums, and I think the difference is just a better User Interface.

This does not seem difficult: combine the thread list with the thread view so that looking at the messages in one thread does not bring you away from the thread list. That way, taking a look at the contents of different threads is not as disruptive.

A lot of boards these days have 7-segment displays. They're not great, but they're a good step up. Don't need to spend a lot, I think they show up on $300-ish boards. Mine definitely does.

You think I'm being facetious, but if you look at a game simply as a thing you spend time doing, and then consider the amount of digital ink spilled discussing those topics online and in-person discussions being had about them, the meta Apple is endlessly entertaining.

Yes! There are lots of ways in which we are nothing like these big IBM systems (we are, for example, entirely open -- like POWER, but very unlike AS/400 or Z series machines), but we definitely admire the robustness of these machines!
Indeed, arguably to a fault, as I likened us to the AS/400 in a VC pitch[0] -- which (despite the potential accuracy of the historical analogue) is as ill-advised as it sounds...

I don't eat pork, I don't like the taste (except bacon but that's beside the point). That doesn't mean I think pig farmers are solving a vague problem. I hadn't heard of this coin before today, and as mentioned I don't like this specific solution but I don't think the problems are vague at all.

You might trust your current bank, but are you confident that you can start any kind of legal business you want? Payment providers have shutdown completely legal customers for political reasons. Would it be nice to anonymously sign a vote? Or change it after the fact? Verify that a vote (as opposed to paper ballot) is valid? Absolutely. UBI shouldn't need an explanation for what problem it solves.

I mention other problems something like this could solve in another comment[1] if you're interested. I think many people today are quick to dismiss good ideas just because it involves crypto, it's a shame.

Tony Bennett’s Passion for Art Lives on in His Paintings
Nah, scientific papers are supposed to be precise and technical. This reads like those quite frequent suggestions here of switching all equations in papers to plain English or code: it honestly comes from a place of ignorance, and I say that as basically a layman myself.

What should be encouraged is for academics to blog about their research as well. It would even help when recruiting and onboarding new members. Right now the sociological and economical incentives don't promote this at all.
Oh, yeah, CC companies love it when people carry a balance and pay interest.

But they're still making money off of someone like me who pays the full balance off each month, because when they give me 2% back, they're charging the merchant 5% or more.

It's kind of a heads-they-win, tails-you-loose situation.
I find it incredibly difficult to focus on movies while at home, I like being forced to not use my phone, etc by being in a theatre. I think this applies to most things; I don't know if attention has been declining so much as there are so many other things you can do at the same time which limits your attention.
I see on the page there are also unicode symbols for roman numerals IX, X, and XI.
I can see an argument for having a separate character for roman numeral X as opposed to just using a capital X like a normal person would, but where do they get off calling IX and XI numerals? They are two-character sequences, and adding characters for the combinations sounds like all pain and no gain.
Except both TETRA and P25 are for police and public safety.
The book Einstein's Lost Key by German physicist Alexander Unzicker is all about that idea and its history. Unzicker argues that it's still a good idea, hasn't been falsified since it makes much the same predictions as GR, and we should look into it further.

For p2b, Apply Pay lets me tap my power button twice and hold it next to the payment terminal. Hard to get lower friction than that.

For p2p, the space is already saturated (Zelle, Venmo, etc.) It's unclear why I would want to use Twitter -- sorry, x -- for this in particular. Also, with the launch of FedNow, the days of new entrant intermediaries in the USA are coming to a close.

Finally, as Goldman Sachs just learned, consumer banking is a brutal business. I think the closest they got to building anything like breaking into consumer credit/banking was becoming the bank that supported the Apple-branded credit card.
Waste is entirely a matter of perspective. Calling it waste implies there's a practical solution that's better, when it may be completely unreasonable to posit such a hypothetical.

RAD Game Tools (now part of Unreal Engine, since bought by Epic) think that game studios encode offline when "baking" the game assets, and there have been game re-releases that have smaller download than the original. See https://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2020/06/oodle-texture-slash...

The PS5 console has a decompressor for their general purpose compression format (Oodle Kraken) in hardware, and the intent is to stream textures from SSD, through general purpose decompressor, to GPU. See https://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2020/06/oodle-texture-bc7pr...
This article seems like it was applicable circa 2006 but not in 2023. With asynchronous request handling (non-blocking request processing), you cannot reliably calculate the "processing time" of a single request since it is only actively being serviced (and therefore preventing another request from being serviced) for a tiny fraction of the total time.

(The exception being for a request that requires no asynchronous handling from the point the GET is received on the server to the point the first byte is written to the response, but that's rarely the kind of request that's ever a bottleneck in the first place since it's basically limited to just static html.)
It is where you fly the aircraft sideways through the air.

It is a way of dealing with the situation where the wind is not coming straight down the runway while landing a light power aircraft. You point the aircraft straight down the runway and add in enough bank to overcome the drift to the side. You use the rudders to prevent the aircraft from turning due to the bank.

Pearson was performing the forward-slip in the less common context of gliding. While flying gliders the problem is that they produce a glide angle that is much too shallow to ever be able to control exactly where you are going to land. Normally you use spoilers (AKA dive brakes) to control glide angle but the spoilers might fail or you might need a steeper approach angle than the spoilers can provide. So you fly sideways to force the side of the glider through the air and produce more drag. You still need to take into account any crosswind while simultaneously adjusting the glide angle while staying lined up with the runway. It's a bit tricky and it takes some practice to maintain the skill. That's why I get to demonstrate a forward-slip as part of my yearly glider check flights.

Pearson did this in an airliner with constantly changing control forces and completely nailed it on his first try. He touched down something like 100 feet past the threshold which is exactly what you want to do in a case where you don't have a lot of braking available. This was one of those times where you wanted the guy that lives aviation and not the nine to fiver.

I read a comment somewhere a while back:

Once you make $999,999,999.99 dollars, congratulations you have won at life!

All future income you make beyond $1B goes to helping society.

You should probably get a say into where the money goes (so it aligns with your values, whatever those may be) but that's it. You are done enriching yourself personally.

I kind of like that (although I'm sure plenty of people hate it).
What I believe OP was getting at is that while he’s being an asshole he’s completely tormented by his own mind not allowing him empathy or understanding beyond his suffering. Since he, like so many with bipolar disorder (myself included) is that the cycle of suffering and abhorrent behavior will continue until he can accept that his brain will not let him out of torment long enough to see how his infliction is broadcast outward and who it really effects. Now combine that with the world’s biggest microphone being used by a man with enough means that it will be dumb luck for him to realize it as he has no consequences for his actions. It’s not impossible to make that realization on your own and it’s even harder to make it stick without medication to make your brain break out of a cycle that you have no more control over than anyone else, and it’s your own mind doing it to you.
