I'm not saying it's a conspiracy. I'm saying there is no need for there to be a conspiracy. At least with physical locks, usually. If you think things like the S&G code books for their high security safe locks aren't widely available in certain gov't agencies, then you're not paying attention.

But the gov't also doesn't care to make it better except when it helps them (when they definitely could and frankly should if they cared for individuals rights or protection!), because the current situation is very convenient for them.

And if you think cops (or federal agents) don't occasionally 'take a peek' where they aren't supposed to look using that to their advantage (both physical locks using lock picking sometimes, but usually bypasses and the like, and crypto), we've got a LOT of evidence to contradict that. Some circumstantial, some, uh... not. [https://nypost.com/video/lock-picking-cops-charged-after-kic...]

They're usually not doing it while their body cameras are on though.

Assuming they're not that dumb, if they find something juicy, they'll of course figure out a way to come back with a warrant and bust the door down so they can admit the evidence, or 'luckily' show up a the right time to catch someone during a 'routine traffic stop' or similar. Assuming they're being above board. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction]

When the characteristics that a test is supposed to measure are completely ill-defined (there is no concept of a "Measurable Intelligence" independent of a context, leaving aside biological retardation) they are a measure of nothing definitive and any correlations/predictions are subject to bias and/or randomness.

God I hope not... Porn is probably one of the most malicious vices influencing how young people (esp boys) view themselves as shameful and romance as transactional. Technology wise there isn't much to build beyond full games since 360 videos have been around for ages now, just a player would suffice.

The closest Apple is likely to get is allowing some form of side-loading.
> Maybe it depends on your perspective, or maybe it is simply personal preference, but I find rust pleasant and quick to prototype in.

Or, perhaps more importantly, on use case.

It’s hard for me to imagine (though certainly possible, I suppose) someone finding prototyping e.g. sensor processing algorithms in Rust more enjoyable than Julia, or faster for that matter.

This isn't going to improve until Apple gets a leadership overhaul. Look at the current executive team, it's all a bunch of boomers who think "gaming" is candy crush and farmville.
They showed hints of what this could do outside of the floating windows in their announcement.

Like the Dinosaur coming out of your wall and then also talking about Unity.

We have to remember that when they talked about this it was around a year (or more if it isn't delayed) away from shipping and they talked about it at a developer conference. It was clear that they were focused on the technology it has and the mostly Apple developed experience of it.

I still don't fully understand where the idea that this could not be used for gaming came from, except maybe the lack of (VR) controllers but I can't imagine not being addressed by the Mifi program later down the line.
I may be reading this incorrectly, but in the article, the 65% appears to be authors confidence in the statement that attention spans appear to be declining, as denoted by the sub-script. Whereas in the HN title it reads as if it's saying a "65% decline in attention span".

Various other assertions in the post also have sub-script confidences associated e.g. "my guess: yes90%".

I could totally believe that there has been a 65% decline in attention span. "Stolen Focus" by Johann Hari certainly makes 65% seem conservative!
People hack themselves to find the quickest release of feel-good chemicals in their brain but most do it at the expense of not realizing that it numbs their entire existence.

And now it’s more prevalent than it ever has been. Grabbing a phone is a nice way to stay in the shell that you have built around yourself and pretend like you have control over your life, but no one has control over their lives.

The more you build walls of ideas around yourself the easier it becomes to make you discombobulated with the slightest gust of wind.

It’s honestly pathetic we live this way and continue pretending it’s normal and that’s how it should be.
Action movies try to keep your attention with ear-splitting volume levels instead.
Those changes you mention are actually breaking changes, and Rich Hickey would think so too. (Maybe he wouldn't on the new mode of calculation, but I believe he would for the others.)

The reason: he specifically mentions that tightening the contract should be a breaking change, and adding a parameter is tightening the contract. Same with adding a new field.

I'm only concerned with changes that should not be breaking changes, but are because of implementation issues.

That isn't to say that static type systems are automatically good. If a static type system cannot express dynamic types, it is no good because sometimes, dynamic types are needed.

Speaking of dynamic typing...

Having only dynamic typing means that you have to wait until runtime to catch every mismatch. That's a bad deal when that mismatch may happen in production.

The very existence of TypeScript, the existence of Spec in Clojure, and the fact that type annotations have been added to Python should be enough evidence of this. These were all languages that prided themselves on their dynamicism; if they reneged, there's probably a good reason.

I mentioned above that having static types with no way to have dynamic types is a mistake. I believe it's just as much of a mistake as having only dynamic typing. They are both needed.

But personally, I would make static typing the default.
They didn’t provide procedures for a no power landing. They also failed to update the conversion documentation.
> What the author's actual point is, though, I have absolutely no idea.

This is what makes me unsure its satire; what is it poking fun at exactly? What is the metaphor?

> It's clearly satire.

I don't think it's "clearly" satire, though I lean in the direction that it probably is satire; I have heard plenty of SF rationalist types say similar things before, so on HN the probability that it isn't satire is much higher than in the outside world.

> And fairly well constructed prose imo.

Agreed. It is fun and well-constructed prose, which definitely earns it several points in the "probably satire" column.
I don't understand this well enough to say if it is correct, but I do understand it well enough to say it is important if correct.
You can use Unity for things other than games.

Not having controllers will be pretty limiting for gaming - some types of games will be fine, others definitely won’t be.
A quick look at the App Store answers your question: no. Those will need to be webapps.
Yes, and the problem is that people and organizations have grown very accustomed and appreciate all these band aids.

It's very flawed, but the flaws are very well understood and people actually seem to like operating all these workarounds.

Not saying that's good, just what I'm seeing in the field.

Thats exactly why we are structured that way. Especially for our primary accounts.

"You might be unsure but the copywriters struggling to find work might disagree."

> But also, for some reason, the business manager love the saboteurs. It’s insane to watch.

Because they keep the shit running. If you're a bank and responsible for trillions of dollars in assets and billions of dollars in daily transactions, the absolutely last thing you can afford is downtime or, even worse, data loss. You'll not just have to handle a ton of angry customers, but in the worst case attract regulatory attraction or getting dragged in front of Congress and the courts.

Here in Germany, Deutsche Bank is integrating 12 million accounts from Postbank to their own IT systems, and it has been an utter utter shitshow [1], attracting a lot of bad press and the banking regulator BaFin is also investigating [2].

There are definitely apps for playing 3D 3/6DOF videos over a network available in the Oculus store, like Skybox VR

It's almost like there is a bottom line and laws and stuff that require sites to moderate content. Elon will either follow suit or he'll pay out a ton of money and go broke taking Twitter/X down with him. Twitter is really no different than Facebook or any other social media site, the censorship still occurs and by and large along the same lines. The primary difference is that Elon is fine with the extreme right voices not the extreme left. But there is still a boot on the throat.

Flight trackers are not allowed on Twitter. Why? That's clearly free speech, and it's not political in nature at all. Elon just doesn't like it.

Censored in Türkiye because like every other platform he will crumble to government pressures.

He's doing the same shit that he tried to call out in the "Twitter Files", the ONLY difference is which views he supportive of compared to say Zuck.

And overall it's fine with me. A platform built around free speech absolutism is doomed to fail. No one wants to be associated with the most extreme voices, unfettered and in some cases even promoted. It's just more embarrassing when Elon says he wants to establish true free speech values, then his platform doesn't represent those values, and he tries to lie to your face telling you it is.
So what are the chances that this ends up like Betamax? I mean that a technically inferior alternative will allow porn and take over.
Those civilizations were built in spite of not based off those beliefs. We wouldn't have created anything more than mud huts if we were to rely on adhering to belief systems.

You cannot control people while also pushing the limits of humanity, they are mutually exclusive. To ignore this is to ignore religious systems were always about control and order, not progress.

> Very, very few action movies need to be more than 100min.

Not to mention an action scene gets really really boring after about 2min. Just more and more of the same. Then add the usual hyperactive editing popular in modern blockbusters and it's like "Yo can you slow down a little? I'd like to actually see a punch happen sometimes"
You Tokyo Drift the plane, exposing more of the side of the plane to the forward motion of the plane to increase the drag by using the side of the plane as a air-brake.

Instead of the most areodynamic way of flying straight, and the worst aerodynamic way of flying completely sideways, you power-slide the plane so that it's not dead-straight and the extra wind-resistance slows you down.

One of the pilots had sail-plane experience from riding a one-man ice-boat with a sail attached over an icy lake - which is where he learned the maneuver. You can slow your speed by the same trick, it's just not usually done with an airliner.
A gentle reminder: Musk doesn't build any of that, he's just a source of cash, like a bank crossed with a toddler.

Thousands of employees build it. In the case of SpaceX and Tesla, they frequently build it in spite of Musk, dedicating time and effort to preventing him from screwing things up when he breezes in.
> A decent amount of TikTok "videos" are just computer generated voices reading screenshots of funny tweets and reddit comments.

Not for me, I get exactly zero videos like that. I always chuckle when I read someone say "Most videos on TikTok ..." since they seem totally oblivious to the fact that there isn't a single TikTok experience. You get what you get and I get what I get.

It reminds me of an older guy I know who stated in front of a bunch of young men "All of the videos on TikTok are scantily clad 13 year old girls doing dirty dances". It was second-hand cringe embarrassing.

I think baby boomers, gen-x and a decent portion of millennials still think of social media as being broadly targeted like TV stations used to be. Even YouTube doesn't come close to the insane customization of TikTok.

Emotions can be rational in many different ways, sometimes more on the group rather than individual level. Whatever emotionality cannot be superceded by something better, will presumably be replicated by AGI. This is especially true for AGI with open-ended objective functions.

The external/visible benefits of emotionality will have their digital and robotic counterparts too. You bet the AGI will have a way of showing its anger more than just stating its dissatisfaction.

Emotions can also be very useful in AGI vs AGI interactions, just like they are with human to human interactions. There’s no reason to believe that emotions will diminish in usefulness at a higher level of intelligence (dogs bark at each other, humans shout at each other, etc…).

To preclude the emotions experienced and displayed by AI from the definition of “feeling” an emotion is to, in my opinion, engage in the no-true-Scotsman fallacy. That being said, it seems like AI will face less scarcity than we do, and will thus have less reason to be emotive. It really depends on how much influence we’ll have on their objective functions.

If our influence on an AGI’s objectives goes to zero, its level of emotionality will then depend on 1. what its actual objectives end up being (this could be beyond what we are imagining) 2. How much the goals of humans and other AGI meaningfully clash with its objectives (whereby a display of emotion can change outcomes more favorably for the AGI than…other actions) 3. Which partially depends on how powerful the AGI is and how aligned it is with other AGI. The more isolated and less powerful it is, the more it might need to rely on emotions to achieve its ends.
>At what point does the complexity of CPU architectures become so difficult to reason about that we just accept the performance penalty of keeping it simpler?

Basically never for anything that's at all CPU-bound, that growth in complexity is really the only thing that's been powering single-threaded CPU performance improvements since Dennard scaling stopped in about 2006 (and by that time they were already plenty complex: by the late 90s and early 2000's x86 CPUs were firmly superscalar, out-of-order, branch-predicting and speculative executing devices). If your workload can be made fast without needing that stuff (i.e. no branches and easily parallelised), you're probably using a GPU instead nowadays.

Forster was British and was poking fun at his own national character (if it wasn't him it was... Maugham, I suppose? Definitely British). You'll note how it's not really clear they come of better-seeming, overall, and the "punch line" amounts to a complaint about the British. [EDIT: and, go figure, another common characterization of the British is that their humor is often this sort of thing]

And there's usually something to those stereotypes, even if assuming they're true of everyone is plainly not a great idea.

In the keynote they showed exactly one scene with a game: someone picks up a console controller and starts playing a basketball game... on a flat, virtual TV. That communicated pretty clearly to me that they didn't have any interest in VR gaming for this device.
