Why not allow the players to 'create' new cards on the fly and the LLM balance it automatically? So that one would feel like an 'real' wizard. Curiousy I was thinking on how to actually implement something like that tonight.
Thanks!

Honestly, I can't envision a near future where SQL is not the main interface. Happy to see the future proving me wrong here though!

Despite I can buy the arguments about how having a better data structure to communicate between processes (in the same server) could help, it's a bit difficult to wrap my mind around how Arrow will help in distributed systems (compared to any other performant data structure). Do you have any resources to understand the value proposal in that area?

Same for vector processing, would be great to read a bit more about some optimizations that would help improving Postgres leaving out pure analytical use cases.
I found it quite useful for summarizing the last X hours of chat messages.
You can make it work with 2.5GbE and maybe even 10 GbE with some luck. But looking at its current state and price I personally would agree that fiber is more future proof.

> This is definitely a characteristic of Chinese culture urban "planning" (operative term is the quotes).

> You can see the same "ad hoc"-ratic development "philosophy" at work in Chinese cities today.

First, it was 4000 years ago when the Chinese culture was completely different.

Other than that, it's still not entirely accurate. If anything, the planning is very diverse or bumps between extremes in China. You can check out Beijing or any historically important town with walls on the map. Most of those cities are carefully designed in square shape, and every important building is facing towards the south. Things are intentionally majestic. Form over practically sometimes.

Most of the examples you have mentioned are southern cities, which are probably heavily influenced by the Suzhou garden design. The most famous Suzhou garden is the Humble Administrator's Garden [0]. The idea of the garden is to use a lot of obstacles and irregular shapes to segment zones. In terms of practicality, it creates more "rooms" instead of wasting space with empty squares. In terms of aesthetics, it creates discoverability where every turn provides a different scene. But most importantly, it's carefully non-majestical to not offend the emperor - the holy ruler of the absolute monarchy (who can easily execute any a whole clan at will without justification). You can also feel the uneasiness even in the garden's name itself.

But indeed, a lot of Chinese cultured towns are chaotic by nature. My personal take is regions like Europe and Japan with feudal backgrounds are sufficiently decentralized with proper hierarchy, making every piece of land plan things for themselves, the lords, the church, and the guilds can design and interact back and forth. However, China is purely top-down and lacks organizations between the imperial court and individual levels (the feudal system was brutally wiped out 2000 years ago and made very few unsuccessfully comebacks). Any non-imperial organizations like mansions guides are highly discouraged as those are seen as potential threats. Chinese society in modern terms is a "flat organizational structure", and its people are just individuals (clans and families are often forced apart, and shuffled between lands). As a result, we can see towns as official projects are built in orthodox ways, which are the rest are littered with ad-hocness.

Actually, in the South, there were also quite some fortresses that were well-designed and typically resided in difficult terrains such as Tulou [1] (man, they look like Apple Park). Because they were large clans living in remote provinces, the imperial court had a hard time dealing with them so often the court didn't bother.

> In my experience, the one exception is Hong Kong

As a guy who spends most of my time living in Beijing, my first impression of Hong Kong is its chaotic (in a good way, I love it). You probably know Hong Kong is the most important reference for those cyberpunk concept artworks. Singapore, IMO, is more well thought out beforehand in terms of urban planning.

I like the telnet idea. I haven't used that in like 20 years. Do people still use that?

I guess it's kinda like running over ssh? Or do you mean you hit an open unprotected port (telnet) and then the app takes care of setting up the SSL connection so you don't have to worry about SSH details?

I suspect the caching part is what makes it economically viable. Once it needs to create multiple variants (or worse: completely personalize it for every user) the costs go way up.
Endgames get sometimes boring indeed, but are other games exciting all the time? Soccer for example has it's exciting moments and it's boring moments.

That's why the endgame is called the technical part of the game. More like an electrician connecting electrodes together, or maybe programming, the end result might be beautiful, regardless of some boring moments.

Tradition + first movers advantage/network effect. We have a centuries old tradition of playing chess in europe, we dont have a tradition of playing go (and vice versa for east asia). And as you said, once everyone already knows how to play chess it's much easier to also play it vs a relatively unknown game (part of the reason why D&D is the most popular tabletop RPG - everybody knows D&D!)

Provided you're willing to live with a ~20% chance it accidentally gives you a subtly misleading answer.

There should instead just be better tools for turning ephemeral chats into searchable evergreen content - tickets, documentation, reports, Q&As, etc.

That, of course, wouldn't get investors who probably don't even use the thing chomping at the bit. Everyone's gotta have an "AI story".
> absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Wrong mathematically, at least if you care to define A as evidence of B to be the same as P(B|A) > P(B|not A), and intuitively if you think about fairies and other things. But sure, it's right if you instead think of evidence as being the same thing as proof, or an inequality as expressing an insurmountable magnitude. As a way to guard against hubris I can understand the repetition.
You're effectively a part of western world, and it doesn't sound like you're turning a blind eye to western war crimes. Moreover, they are covered in big newspapers, remembered and regretted for decades, and often lead to criminal cases and/or resignations.

I can 100% assure you that it's not like that in Russia, and that's the difference between modern west and other superpowers, past and present.
> Who cares? It's your property.

Authorities care. Yes it's your property and you can do whatever you want with it. The question is whether you're allowed to operate the vehicle on public roads afterwards. Cars go through thorough certification processes (homologation) and that includes software.

Can you prove that your change does not negatively affect a certification-relevant function?
> The real issue is that a single erroneous flight plan should not stop the full system.

But the flight plan wasn't erroneous - it was perfectly valid. It just happened to have a weird coincidence of two identically tagged airports spanning the UK. If someone had put an extra waypoint in between the two, nothing would have broken (AIUI).
No, no we shouldn't. There's a huge gulf between legal and moral.

> I'm amazed that such datasets exist. Don't know what's the purpose and who is managing this but it's jus absurd (in a good way)

A significant portion of London's trees are subject to Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) and/or are located in a conservation area.[1]

If you want to do anything to a tree subject to the above, then you in conjunction with your tree surgeon need to request permission from the local authority. If you don't then you're in trouble because it is a criminal offence to remove, prune or damage protected trees.

In addition you of course have non-protected trees on public land that are owned by the local authority and so they likely have a maintenance database for those.

So it therefore goes that you require a database of said trees and hence this dataset is likely nothing more than an aggregation of the indvidual datasets from the various local authorities (of which there are 32 IIRC, hence quite a lot of data).

Here is an example of a TPO list from just one Local Authority.[2]

I mentioned that bringing up performance issues will bring you insults and dismissal, and you saw fit to reply with:

> I have never observed such a problem

I guess it did not occur to you that you are immediately proving my point.

To answer your question, the context is literally every single language server. Not only with autocompletion delay to 0.0, but also setting the minimum prefix to 1, so that it activates on every keystroke; the default is 3. The fuzzy completion cannot be configured out of the box, of course, it requires another extension. I posted a thread with much detail on why it occurs.

You can downplay all you'd like, but a non-issue does not spur a productive maintainer to fork the entire codebase to implement changes, or alternative clients (LSP-bridge) that manage out-of-process connections to servers in order to work around Elisp limitations.
I have also tried to visualize all trees and to find missing trees in Munich city from publicly available aerial images.

I don't know anything about ATC systems. Why should it be possible to continue when a single flight plan is wrong? Naïvely it sounds like having even a single plane in an unknown position would make safe automated control impossible. Is that wrong?
AI players, however strong, sometimes leave glaring (to humans, at least when told) loopholes exploitable by humans.

> My belief is in bettering the world through regulation rather than individual choice.

If you can only choose between these, I agree.

But being an engineer who contributes to industry, you can better the world through massively adopted technology.

If you are a road worker and you fix a hole in the road, it might contribute to thousands of cases of vehicles needing repair later.

If you work on battery systems, auto-pilot, or logistics, you can reduce consumption on a massive scale.

ChatGPT, EmbedAI, Bard, or Aria? Which is the best assistant for you?
ChatGPT, EmbedAI, Bard, or Aria? Which is the best assistant for you?

I found that each of the four mentioned AI assistants has its unique features and advantages.

ChatGPT provides a robust and comprehensive chatbot tool that can facilitate businesses to improve customer communication, from customer service inquiries to lead generation. GPT-3 powers it, which allows it to understand natural language and context. Additionally, ChatGPT integrates with several messaging platforms such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp, and the integration process is effortless.

EmbedAI offers a powerful AI assistant platform that provides businesses with a range of services such as customer support, data extraction, and more. With a user-friendly drag and drop interface that allows you to create conversational flows and analyze conversational data, EmbedAI is useful for businesses that want to leverage AI but don't have the expertise.

Bard is a specialized virtual writing assistant that focuses on helping writers improve their writing. Bard uses AI to analyze your writing and provide suggestions to improve grammar, syntax, tone, and more. Bard can also generate topic ideas and even suggest emotional arcs for short stories.

Aria AI is an AI-powered digital assistant that can schedule meetings, share emails, and manage your to-do list. Aria AI integrates various platforms such as email, calendars, and messaging apps, which makes it easy to use. Aria AI also learns from your preferences and patterns, making it more effective and efficient over time.

In conclusion, which AI assistant is the best for you depends on your particular needs and goals. If you're looking for a chatbot that provides excellent customer support, ChatGPT may be the right choice. However, if you're a writer, Bard may be the ideal choice for improving your writing. On the other hand, EmbedAI may be the best choice for businesses looking for an all-around AI assistant, while Aria is perfect for personal organization.

> I don't really, if I'm not doing it, someone else will do it, so it will be done anyway.

That is flawed logic though. If enough people refuse to do certain types of work, it will make it harder/more expensive to do that work, which could mean it doesn't get done at all. Simple supply and demand!

Principles matter both in theory and in practice. Just because someone else is OK with doing bad stuff doesn't mean it's OK for you to be.

I’m stunned WOTC hasn’t sued them over this yet. I undertook a related project in ‘21 [0] and had two different lawyers tell me Wizards are notoriously litigious and that they’ve even come after creators of fan art in the past.

[0] https://hardwork.party/#/entropy/ … recursively-generated MTG-style cards generated by GPT-3 (not 3.5t) and VQGAN+CLIP. The recursion brings out the crazy!

I ended up scrubbing for every non-dictionary word in the MTG corpus - find a ‘nono’ word? Regenerate.

Also did cosine vector similarity on the body, title, type, and flavor text fields against existing MTG corpus to throw out anything too similar.

Also my partner on the project ZNO did all-original card BG, back, and icons.

In the end the thing was an art piece so it didn’t suffer from deviating widely from MTG, although I’d say it probably would have been a bigger commercial success as a straight imitation.
It feels very similar to a few years ago, where everybody and their mom thought they needed a blockchain. However, AI seems a lot more promising to me than the crypto industry ever did.
> ...a network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at the Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai dating back 4,000 years to a time known as the Longshan period.

Reaction: If the site was "walled" (and not somehow occupied after the builders simply abandoned it), then obviously the engineering skills and social organization for large-scale infrastructure construction did exist.

> The level of complexity associated with these pipes refutes an earlier understanding in archaeological fields that holds that only a centralized state power with governing elites would be able to muster the organization and resources to build a complex water management system.

Reaction: That "earlier understanding" sounds very comfortable and convenient, if you are an archaeologist with elitist social biases, or dependent on support from members of a social elite, or who is a member of his society's social elite. Wealthy and powerful people rationalizing that poor and oppressed people somehow "needed" them was already an old trope when the first pyramid was built.

Yes there is, it's called scope and it's super easy to keep track of? In fact, you have to go out of your way to share a reference if you scope it.

I understand all of that. If it isn't economical for BMW to produce cars with and without heated seats as two separate models then I guess all of their cars should have heated seats as standard. Having them but locking them behind a software unlock is profiteering, even if technically making a model without the seats would have been more expensive.
Not only for topics that are suppressed, but also topics that are very niche. I played around with yacy to crawl for documentation of mechanical switches for my project - keycomp.co. It is awesome that you can just put few websites that you want to crawl, even edit its robots.txt and collect all of the data you need. Only issue is that it is very easy to just run out of storage, and even if you have that problem under control, there is an issue with yacy randomly crashing.

Interesting, though I think I would put those examples under a “will emit copyrighted code if prompted to”. I can’t think of a compelling reason someone would prompt for a sparse matrix function with a “cs_” unless they were searching for copyrighted code they knew existed.

Though that is definitely a simpler prompt than I would have expected was necessary to get such a result. Thanks!

(The first example also isn’t the same code. It is very close, and definitely similar in style, but it isn’t clear that code would a)run, or b) would work as expected. I need to sleep though, so I’m not sure how much that matters.)
How would the LLM balance it automatically?
First create a product that deluges you with a crap ton of useless work spam, make it impossible to search or organize information (was it a 1:1 chat? Group chat? Room? Thread?), add tons of useless distractions like emoji reactions, THEN offer an AI to search through it.

There's plenty of published papers about newly formalized proofs, even in "undergrad" math. A formal proof development generally brings to light new information about the original proof, both by plugging all potential inaccuracies/missing steps and in being especially easy to refactor, abstracting out common patterns that might be reused elsewhere.
Imho: unlikely while the Russia-Ukraine war is ongoing.

Why? Both China and Russia are good at playing the long game. So China will probably want to see what Russia gets out of its war (if anything), before deciding whether invading Taiwan is worth it. Or determine how to go about it.

Hopefully Taiwan keeps up (and up-to-date) its defenses enough that any invasion by China would be more costly to agressor than any possible gains.

Promises of (military) support for Taiwan by 3rd nations do help here. Yes if shtf things may escalate much further. But it also makes invading Taiwan a much riskier proposition, potentially much more costly than if 3rd nations leave Taiwan to defend itself without help.

I'm counting on China to not be stupid enough to take such risk.
