>I mean, if a human looked at a bunch of art, essays, etc. and then was able to produce similar works, we'd normally consider that "learning." What word would you use for being able to reproduce Picasso (or whomever) by looking at a bunch of examples?

Would we? What you described sounds a lot more like copying than learning. That's why I asked the question I originally did. Your whole perspective seems to be based on an ignorant and misanthropic view of the arts. That art students just go to school to look at things so they can then reproduce things that look like those things. It's a bit asinine and insulting.

>Also I don't think I have defined "think" or "experience" at all. But I'd point out that I don't see anything like a principled boundary around them or that we can point to something that humans do that AIs don't or can't do. It seems to fall back on something that looks like qualia or subjective internal experience and philosophy hasn't resolved that with respect to other humans... except by analogy. "I think the other humans are like me and I have subjective internal experience, so they probably have it to, rather than being p-zombies."

That's your burden to demonstrate as the person equivocating AI to humanity. You couldn't do it with "learning" without redefining learning, and you can't do it with "experience" or "think", without redefining those words either. Who is seriously advocating that LLMs are thinking and experiencing? I haven't seen anyone make those arguments.

>Sure, I'll agree that it's not even necessary to consider the works transformative or whatever.

That wasn't my point. A transformative analysis is one of the most fundamental elements of determining if something is a copy or not in copyright law. So I don't really have any idea what you are talking about with this one.

>FWIW, I don't think that AIs should be getting their own copyrights or anything like that, I'm just saying that the training data shouldn't forever taint the output no matter what's produced.

Yeah but your only argument for that is to redefine learning to pretend it's the same thing that humans are doing when that's clearly not the case.
I will think of this bridge as a metaphor for dead code.
The GDDR6X was already so fast that it was practically melting the chips. I hope Samsung and whoever is putting them in GPU and other boards can put a little more thought into heat dissipation.
IVS is going to work out if everyone switches to always use it by default, but it's currently only used for special cases where the desired letter shape diverges from language default(the "bridge-shaped high" cases) rather than the-default and I don't see a perfect IVS world happening.

I mean, it's clearly tied to languages, so I think only viable options are either we split languages into separate tables into those reserved-for-unknown-reasons planes, or add a font selector instruction like ":flag_tw: :right_arrow: 今天是晴天 :left_arrow:", OR, if there's going to be a WWIII and one or more of Zh-Hans or ja-JP becomes obsolete, it's going to be not an important issue.
Kind of like everything else. First mover advantage is everything. I think also, the powers that be have a vested interest in promoting inefficient cryptocurrencies in order to prevent efficient ones from gaining a foothold. Bitcoin does a great job at centralizing attention towards itself. Bitcoin maximalism isn't so much about helping Bitcoin as it is about depriving others of opportunities and staining the reputation of cryptocurrencies.
I’m working on a math problem generator. While there are many similar websites out there, I wanted to create one for myself that caters to my needs and doesn’t come with the usual overhead such as ads, settings, and registration.

More specifically Central Indian (Bhojpuri, Maghai, Angika, and Maithili).

Most of the South Asian origin indentured servants in the West Indies were brought in from the regions that became Bihar and Jharkhand.

If you go to French dependencies, then most of the South Asian origin community is a mix of Tamil and Telugu.

There is a similar impact of Southern Chinese ethnic groups and Arabs in South America as well!

Edit: fixed spelling
Impossible to correct for all the variables in effect here. You can't even safely say that the politics of one region vs. another have been the same over two centuries.
Starlink primarily exists because Falcon 9 has so much launch capacity they have exceeded current market demand and need to find a way to monetize it themselves. SpaceX’s primary industry is launch services and they have no incentive to do a bad job at it.

Furthermore, this totally misses the question of why Amazon is entering this market in the first place, other than as a mechanism for Jeff Bezos to move large sums of money from Amazon to Blue Origin. If the less risky version of your business plan actually entails relying on a company that has never reached orbit and still struggles to make suborbital hops after a longer development period than SpaceX has existed as a company, you could just stay out of that business.
Inflation is a really bad example of a failure of economic theory. First, just because the field might understand how to avoid inflation, doesn’t mean that is actually implemented. And secondly, until recently inflation as measured by cpi has been low to zero for the last decade. I think a sense of proportion needs to be exercised here.
It's literally just a list of politically pointed things that have nothing to do with whether or not someone is indigenous.
I turned off automatic updates a few years back and it’s amazing how many apps have a required update each day that I use them. Almost none of them include meaningful release notes.
My dad can use a smartphone when he wants to, e.g. ordering from Amazon. But he deeply resents and resists having to use web or native apps to do things like interact with his bank that he would historically have handled by calling them or going into a branch.
That was a beautiful read. Well said.
Yes, a trademark holder can do that, but the problem is that Rust is supposed to be a foundation, a nonprofit. Even if they legally can, I don't think it's that ethical for a nonprofit to do so.
There appears to be both a major freight line running close to the north as well as Amtrak and BART line across the river to the south. Certainly plenty of options to link up. Essential to keep trucks out of a European-style walkable city. I am quite excited to see what they come up with. Perhaps something like what Disney originally intended for EPCOT center. (Cue IGY by Donald Fagan, but maybe not so cynical lol)
My cable company used these Tivo-branded Arris devices as STBs for years. https://zatznotfunny.com/2017-02/tivo-heads-back-future-new-... They are now upgrading to a tiny Android TV device that streams TV over IP. It draws 10W max and has a better Youtube and Plex app than the old one. It still has the Tivo interface for TV shows, but now I can rewind live TV and start shows up to 3 days after they air.
There's a footnote, attached in the wrong place, that explains the use of word "Heresy". It's used in a similar sense as "revolt", in the context of contrarianism.

In that sense, it is "heresy" -- not the current norm -- to put the user in charge of constructing the view of information in a system. It might be true.

Anyways, it took me a bit to understand what the author was saying, and the articles would be a lot easier to read if they used plain English. The articles are quite contextual and people with a different frame of view might interpret them differently, which is not good communication.

Both AIDS and Long COVID are post-viral, multi-organ, chronic conditions that dysregulate the immune system, through many of the same mechanisms [0].

They are also conditions that severely affects the quality of life of those who are afflicted, increasing the risk of severe life-threatening illnesses [1].

Similar to the early years of the AIDS pandemic (which, I might add, is still ongoing), the harms of Long COVID are not widely understood or acknowledged in clinical practice or among the general population.

If you’re going to look on a county by county basis some parts of the Deep South are really poor. But by slicing off the top quartile overall you cut out the poverty and are looking at a very different population.

Further without the extreme property prices you see in costal cities a family pulling in 75k has very different living expenses.
The British brought in hundreds of thousands of Indian indentured servants when they couldn’t take African slaves anymore. Trinidad for example has a significant population of people of Indian descent today. So I don’t find it all that surprising that there would be some Indian influence on Caribbean cultures.
Not disabled, just overpowered. The winch can easily drag a car with locked up wheels. Very common in fact, e.g. automatic transmission that won't shift out of park, or handbrake malfunction, etc etc etc
That’s a shame. The writers of articles usually are not the writers of headlines. Yet you implicate the writer in the deception of the copywriter.

These are individual memory chips. They can be used to build both ECC modules and non-ECC modules.

ECC modules just have more chips to store the extra parity information. In the high capacity RDIMM server market there are plenty of ECC options.
I checked, and they can move vehicles in a situation where failing to act could cause "one or more individuals to die, be seriously injured or become seriously ill."
Curious, have you engaged in a similar depth of study of all the world religions? Just wondering if maybe the others also have adherents who believe that the only thing keeping many others such as yourself from finding them is their own lack of emotional fortitude?
Yup, my culture shock seeing a table of salarymen chain smoking in the restaurant in Japan.

That's good news for the climate given that there is a negative correlation between the number of pirates on the high seas and the global average temperature [1]. That is, as long as these are the right types of pirates of course which remains to be seen. Do they sport wooden legs? Parrots on their shoulders? Do they speak the right language? It now being only 17 days - a prime number, clearly this has some deeper meaning - to International Talk Like a Pirate Day I sense a convergence of the forces of good coming up.

Direct block storage is good, but note that SSDs are essentially just doing CoW internally too.

Marx spent the first half of the first chapter of the Communist Manifesto "worshipping capitalism" and praising capitalism for more extensive advances than ever before. Marx strenuously agreed with your "better than nearly all other systems" to the point where he argued capitalism was a necessity in order for socialism to even become possible, because of the immense economic growth brought by capitalism.

It's not Marxist to hate capitalism, it's Marxist to see capitalism as an incredible advance over what came before, which can still be improved on thanks to capitalism laying the foundation for further advances.
Sometimes it is just easier to use a preexisting outlet in the wall of outright make a new one. So long as it looks nice and clean no one is going to be upset. And let's be honest. The cost to do this is fractions of a penny compared to contorting around environmental obstacles for shitty gain.

Or you can spend another Hundred hours in search of a subpar solution. How much money has been wasted on doing that? Stop the insanity!
If you want the latest foo, then tell your pinning solution that you want that. Then you get a real record of what’s actually running, you can reproduce old builds to instrument them, and you get all the other benefits of tracking what you actually built.
You might be thinking of PhotoMesa, which was a research project (I think later commercialized) out of University of Maryland.

Here is the research paper on PhotoMesa:
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson/images/pubs_pdfs/p19-khella....

And here's a YouTube video of PhotoMesa:
https://youtu.be/CQYDhnBMoF0?si=SOWUcjSFyv47nfrt&t=59

Also, as a researcher who has studied and implemented Semantic Zooming, the original post (probably inadvertently) makes it sound like Underkoffler invented the idea. I'd have to double check things, but I believe it was Ben Bederson (also the creator of PhotoMesa above) and Jim Hollan that invented the concept of semantic zooming in their seminal work Pad++, which aimed to explore alternatives to basic GUI interfaces. Ben has a lot of papers looking at zooming interfaces for photos, presentations, calendars, and other visualizations.

Here's the paper on Pad++

I think taxis in NYC are much more convenient than ubers. No wait, no need to fiddle with my phone or worry about whether it’s going to die, can pay in cash or card.

I always laugh when I see people standing on the side of the road staring first at their phone and then out into traffic as they wait for an uber to show up, and meanwhile at least five taxis have gone by that they could have hailed on the spot.
It’s also actually happened. For example this major tire fire in Tracy California https://www.ttownmedia.com/tracy_press/archives/tracing-trac...

It burned for two years. On the semi-ironic upside, its proximity to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the major atmospheric research center there actually proved highly useful for helping model atmospheric behavior of smoke for things like wildfires.
This is useful infotmation to learn, but I can tell you from having done all three that consulting for a shop is as different from freelancing as it is from an in-house job.
That interface is very similar. It's not the app I was thinking of, but same functionality.
Ok, but it's still acceptable by any common sense standard. Besides the challenge's output is completely off. Not just that it's using just one of the characters. It spells out something else. Which is not the case here.

Or they're good customers and you're servicing them wrong.

There's definitely ~10% that aren't worth welcoming back, but I'm playing interlocutor here.

There's plenty of companies who tossed all their cash cows into volcanoes for the difficult customer belief which really stemmed from an inability to listen. Here, read up on the fall of WordStar for a premiere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroPro_International

Old software companies were famous for this: Lotus, VisiCorp, Digital Research - running away from their existing customers who they thought were atrophying to some presumed greener pastures that didn't exist only to end up with nobody because the problem was they had their heads up their asses the whole way.

In this problem space there's 3 levels which are both of increasing accuracy but also increasing work.

1. Imagine your customers
2. Measure your customers
3. Know your customers and almost-customers, like personally.

3 doesn't scale but ignoring it is what can snag even the biggest companies
This man has no self control. He just had to know. He had. to. know.

So many respects! You'd make an excellent bug hunter, mister.
I honestly can not think of any service I need that I must use my phone with. Plenty of things use SMS 2FA but I can also talk to people, face-to-face in most cases. Probably the closest would be the IRS if I have questions because calling them means being on hold for a few hours, otherwise I have to use snail mail which I have done.
Those are very cool, but I'm talking about years pre-dating smartphones. I guess Picasa wasn't a good time marker in my question since it really wasn't retired that long ago.
Assuming the compiler doesn't optimize them out.
It’s more than that. The app likely has some backend dependencies that require some ongoing maintenance or cost. It’s not just that your washing machine depends on an iOS app, but on some DynamoDB table somewhere.

>> So really when you use async/await, you’re just writing pseudo-sequential code that gets turned into callback code.

Small nitpick:

I wouldn't call it "pseudosequential", personally. By that logic, C is pseudosequential, because when you call a system call, your process state gets saved in the scheduler, control gets passed to the kernel, then when kernel finishes, your process state is resumed. Not even getting started on branch prediction and similar CPU optimizations.

What I mean is, as long as you have a kernel and scheduling, there's no such thing as a real (userspace) sequential program. We just call them sequential because their side effects correspond to a sequential model of execution. So if the side effects of an async/await program corresponds to that of a sequential model, it's a sequential program.

But I get the value of using that word for an explanation of the implementation.
Is the Spanish flu still an emergency because a related strain still exists?

Covid still exists, but most everybody has natural or induced immunity, and it just isn't as severe (new strains) or as much of an unknown.

It's not going away. If you want to live in a state of emergency in perpetuity, go for it, just don't expect the world to not move on.
Studied GIS for 8 years in university and I still cannot understand the use case for W3W. It removes information with little benefit.

If you have a position using a CRS you’ve got lots of information about where it is relative to other positions in the same CRS. If you have a street address, you have hierarchical information of that location, and yea you can geocode it if you want to exchange topology for position.

If you have a W3W you’ve got a memorable hash that tells you nothing at all until you geocode it. Making a W3W really feels like the opposite of geocoding.

Or consider it like this:

A coordinate pair tells you in some unit (degrees, metres, etc) where something is relative to other coordinates (or the datum).

An address tells you where things are topologically: “it’s inside this city. Along this street. Beside these other addresses.” (Usually…)

What does a W3W tell you?

And let me guess… to get any information out of a W3W you must use their proprietary system. If that’s the case, what an absolutely moronic system to use.
Criminals that get caught. Police forces in Rotterdam for example estimate they can find about 10% of the cocaine shipments going through the port. The vast majority of crime is unreported, very lucrative and corrupts an official near you. And I bet they don't use moronic tactics like planning crime in off brand chat apps.
> A lot of banks don't even have web interface and those they still do require you to install and link smartphone app to be able to log in or to pay with card online.

Which "classic" banks don't have online banking?

> While there might in theory be many second factors with different pros and cons, most bank only allow their own app and nothing else. The few stragglers that still allow text messages make it increasingly user hostile, e.g. rewrite 12 number code and enter special PIN, different from your normal PIN or just click a button in app!

I'm reasonably sure at least with most major Scandinavian banks you can use plain old OTP tokens.
You can also find sellers on eBay and often find their own storefront online.

After spending some time watching it you’ll even get a feel for what’s coming “off lease”.

I think I should remind everyone that scooters are actually amusement rides, just like coffee-to-go (“Imagine yourself as part of those laughing young people wearing bright clothes!”). The city won't grind to a halt if they disappear. They are much more expensive than general transport, and that's the reason they spread like wildfire across the world: there is enough money in there to win officials' hearts (unlike slow and expensive city projects that never satisfy everyone). And, yes, enough money to pay IT teams and loud-mouthed evangelists, too.

Why do you think I said Long COVID is shaping up to be like HIV/AIDS?

The parallels between the two are stark: How the CDC and NIH bungled public health advice and research funding, how clinicians are ill-equipped to treat it, how the public is clueless about the long-term harms of post-viral immune dysregulation [0].

I thought they used the Russian consultants as a vector by infecting their laptops before they went inside the airgapped system? I was under the impression that this was the reason Stuxnet spread so far and wide, because it had to spread organically to the Russians' devices. Time for a Wikipedia rabbit hole, I guess.
Isn't your input your confidence that GPT-4 gives the correct answer, like I'm 100% sure GPT-4 gives the right answer for the capital of France but I'm only 50% sure it gets the ASCII art correct, and 0% for another question which means 100% GPT is wrong?

Because how could he know the probability of getting the correct answer? He just tried and then it's a yes or no.

And if it's right/wrong shouldn't GPT right/wrong 100% of the time for the same question and the same version?
