Almost good enough. How about we make it harder for non-citizens to buy any homes too? Citizens should get first pick of any dwelling. Many countries do this, even in the west, and it would go a long way in stopping the crazy house prices in the west/southwest. It could even be extended to give preference to people who have established residency in a region. My original low COL hometown was overrun during the California exodus and housing jumped 3x in 5 years. The average house is now well over 6x average income. No resident could dream of affording even the shittiest starter home in this double-whammy environment.

Jeez, what buzzkills.
I completely agree with you insofaras parts of the design probably go back to NT. SBut some of the design won’t happen until next week. My interpretation of this is that the design process starts before use and continues until the end of the support lifecycle. I agree that there are some components that we think have been completely designed… but there might be a bug tomorrow in a “core” part of the OS that would require more design, and I don’t think this would surprise anyone if it happened.

I’m not saying necessarily that it’s continuous design, simply that we might return to the design phase at any time.

What if the same mechanisms that cause the destruction of the environment/poverty/racism/sexism/etc. negatives are the same mechanisms that allow an institution like Harvard to exist?

Is it because life's difficulties are generally amplified with kids? I've never truly regretted having kids, but I had my first one when I was barely making more than minimum wage and somewhat in debt. Hell we didn't even have health insurance, so we couldn't go to the hospital and had to opt for an at-home birth. All of the stress that life was pushing on me was magnified 100x when that baby came. At the end of the day I would I sleep snuggling next to my child though and all the pain would kind of wash away. That alone made parenting worth it somehow.

Honestly my kids are the only thing that keep me alive. I have a persistent deep hatred for the world - almost always have - and I've contemplated suicide many times in my life, but my children keep me going. I will be here as long as they are. There is nothing more soothing than seeing them smile. The rare times that I get a chance to just sit still, I find myself observing all the small things they do and appreciating their innocence in it. Almost everything we interact with in the modern world is fake, but the one thing that is truly genuine is the love between parent and child; especially in their youth.

Latency makes it totally impossible to do that securely. Reaction times in case of a problem is the difference between life and dead and you cannot "outsource" that to someone 1000 miles away: network latency, monitor latency, input method latency (I send an "emergency braking order", network latency a second time.

Impossible within our current understanding of physics: I mean... You could do it, but the added delay for reaction times would literally have many people killed.

> I've never understood the Linux culture of tightly coupling OS and package management

The ABIs are quite tightly coupled though. There's e.g. a dependency to glibc, so either you make a compromise and use the oldest common glibc or ship packages for various glibc versions. So unless everything is built from source, this approach has its limits.

edit: of course it's possible to use static linking but even then there's a residue of calls that are dynamically linked at runtime. (That's why there's flatpak, snap, ... which bundle dependencies redundantly)
I am not a license expert, but doesn't MIT mean we can build upon it with proprietary changes and then sell it as proprietary software?
> 1% owning about a third of all wealth seems remarkably skewed.

This isn’t that interesting unless you can pair it with numbers showing how the remainder is distributed. If the majority of people have a high quality of life, who cares how rich the 1% are unless you also want to be part of the elite?

How it actually affects people is what matters. Trying to pick some arbitrary threshold for how much wealth some subset of the population should have leads to endless bikeshedding.
Just starting to read this. Their Fig. 1 is basically the README of a project we've been quietly working on.

It's easy to imagine how systems like these might succeed by following workflows analogous to those humans use, on greenfield toy problems.

The trouble is, if you paratrooper something like this into an exiting repository, or you want to build something of real significance, then you've got more context than can fit into an LLMs window. You don't just have the hallucination / stay-on-task problems, you have the problem of the LLM not having everything it needs to know to complete its task.

In my experience, the latter problem of ensuring the LLM knows everything it needs to know is the bigger problem. The other stuff (using standard operating procedures and workflows, as in this paper) is actually the relatively easy stuff. I'm not saying it's easy-easy or that it's obvious from the outside if you haven't played around with it; I'm not disparaging the paper.

So, what I'm most curious about, and I wonder if anyone here has seen good solutions, is this:

How do these multi-agent systems maintain/retrieve the appropriate domain context required to make good design decisions, good coding decisions, and so on? "Use embedding and shove stuff into a vector database" is hand-wavy and doesn't get you all the way there. I'm looking for concrete solutions; academic papers that show a lot of promise; and the like.

(Maybe they lay it out in this paper and I just haven't gotten to it yet. But if they've cracked that nut I suspect they would lead with it.)

I remember some time ago when drones were new that the city fathers of Detroit (I do not know whom) desired that the city become the drone capital of the world. They made space available at the old City Airport and the company's flocked there due to the cheap rent and largely unused runways.

I went to some of their demo nights one summer. One of the investors gave rides in his GT-40. The companies were doing some innovative stuff for the time.

I went despite knowing as a native Detroiter that the airport was in one of the single worst neighborhoods in the city. Not a place you ever wanted to be after dark.

Course none of us could know at the time that China would dominate in the drone market. The Chinese started at the low end (just like the Japanese did in the seventies with autos) and proceeded to move up market crushing everything in their way.

Now I have to wonder if the same thing will happen all over again with robots? Or perhaps Detroit is missing a bet by not creating a hub for all the robot companies?
> But any individual human should be self-consistent, which is what I would expect of a chatbot that "reasons".

OK, should be. Are we, though? I can recall an American president who could not even complete two sentences without a direct contradiction. And if we think about how billions of people claim to base their lives in self contradicting fictitious books, maybe we are not such a self consistent species after all.

Self consistency is not a great criterion for reasoning. If I tell you "because Jesus told me so" after every question, that's consistent but not interesting. It would be trivial to emulate consistency, in fact.

I think we are all talking past each other because everyone had a different definition of reasoning. My main point - which I have hopefully consistently presented! - is that we don't really know how humans reason, so we should not focus on categorical statements about it at all.

Residential estate shouldn't even be all that attractive for holding firms, though, with all the maintenance costs involved in it and the lack of economy of scale. The only reason it's such a draw is that it's in an excessive shortage, resulting in the absurd year-over-year market rate increases, and because interest rates are so low that every other investment has very low returns compared to historical results.

I found the quality of Amazon-brand products to be inconsistent.

CarPlay should be fixing that in next gen (so a year or two from now) releases. Apple showed a Carplay screen that went from the drivers instrument cluster to the center of the dash where it usually lives now.
We’re trying to revolutionise most of it… because at the moment everything we use in space has to be built on earth and launched in one piece on a rocket big enough to launch it one piece… and made tough enough to be launched on a violently shaking rocket… and everything has to be made bulletproof because once it’s up there it’s impossible to repair… all of which makes basically any space construction project extremely expensive to engineer… the only shortcuts are mass production of identical disposable units like planet labs doves or spacex starlink… which are kind of wasteful but work if you have a cheap enough ride into space…

But building anything in space is a massive set of challenges of its own … a space station module requires skilled welding of a pressure vessel, fitting a satellite requires careful cable management and manipulation of sensitive components… low earth orbit is practically a low density oxygen plasma compared to higher orbits (and oxygen plasma will oxidise just about anything given enough time) …

We analysed a lot of options and ended up designing (and are slowly building due to limited budget) a modular system of robotic spacecraft designed to work together in teams like a construction or assembly team, able to work on larger projects like space station modules or simple things like assembling a cubesat from a bin of parts… and designed to handle both construction and maintenance so that we can provide value to the massive amount of existing assets already in space, and because it’s a multi element system capable of maintenance and repair work, each robot can be more low cost and straightforward, like a Bobcat you can fit a bucket or dozer blade or jackhammer or claw to… they can swap tools on each other just like when you use one bobcat to lift a heavy tool up off the ground for attachment to another bobcat, and when one breaks the others can open it up and replace what’s broken…

It seems a lot more complicated when it’s described out in terms of capabilities, but fundamentally there’s a small number of modular components and a handful of support systems that are much simpler than the primary robot platform units are.

The website doesn’t have a lot of PR material at the moment since most of the effort is still on engineering design and prototyping work, but the website https://www.tetraorbital.com will have more information when we have stuff to show, it also has contact info for more specific enquires, and the mailing list is a zero fluff no spam future announcement only list (we’ve literally not sent a single message to it yet since there’s no PR or announcement material to share yet)
I agree with him about the car talking to an external server. That is a disgusting grab by car manufacturers.

For me, I don't care about my car having a computer, but I don't want it to talk to services without my permission and building their own thing shows a disregard for that desire. I love CarPlay/android and not offering those two most popular options doubles down on that disregard for customer interests.

I think you are misinterpreting. The distribution present in the training set in isolation (the one I'm referring to, and is not fuzzy in the slightest) is not the same thing as the distribution understood by the trained model (the one you are referring to, and is definitely more conceptual and hard to characterize in non-trivial cases).

"Generalization" is simply the theoretical measure of how much the later extends beyond the former, regardless of how that's achieved.
Where to draw the line is fuzzy and probably subjective, but to me it seems natural for "system" packages to be updated and managed entirely separately from user-installed packages of all kinds (not just things that get wrapped in flatpaks or shipped with their jungles in Docker), even if that means dependency redundancy. I think for most people trading off some storage for assurance that user packages can never ever influence or worse, break the environment would be worth it.

I use OpenSUSE (Tumbleweed, the rolling release version) over Arch because Arch has very little useful software outside the AUR whereas OpenSUSE has that in its official repo ("oss"). Anyone can upload anything they want to the AUR and there's no review or even any guarantee that it builds. It's basically equivalent to how Ubuntu users solve all their problems by adding random users' PPAs. But of course if you are okay with the AUR, then Arch has the benefit that the AUR has a lot more software than OpenSUSE's official repo, and there's a lot less bureaucracy involved with adding new software.

Regardless, I solve all my OpenSUSE problems using the Arch wiki since they're both rolling-release, modern software stacks, systemd, etc distros, so I'm always grateful that Arch exists.
