We direct for the first 8 hours, I think. After that we only redirect if the earlier post got significant attention. The trick, as you say, is to find a balance that gives good stories multiple cracks at the bat—it's much worse to miss out on a good story than it is to have a few reposts.

not stronger isolation between different flight plans? it seems "obvious" to me that if one flight plan is causing a bug in the handling logic, the system should be able to recover by continuing with the next flight plan and flagging the error to operators to impact that flight only

lol. Just skim the CFS thread for counterexamples
Additionally keep in mind, this diagnosis was not made by a machine designed to be a "doctor".

The doctor part is a side effect. An emergent property. I can just imagine google running a powerful AI in the future and just using ads to fund the whole thing and the thing just completely demolishes the medical diagnosis industry just as an emergent side effect.

Absolutely - YCbCr 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 use different encodings across the lines to balance bandwidth. Complexity then continues to stack with deep colour pixel packing. There's a beautiful pocket of simplicity for RGB 4:4:4 8bpc which is essentially a direct digital encoding of ye oldy RGBHV signals. More than OK for any retro-comp needs, and a fun starting point for general hacking.

"unexpected errors" are not necessarily problems with the flight plans. They could be anything.
The technology I always cite for something that had huge hype then died is 3D generally. I remember around the time Avatar was release everyone was convinced that 3D was the next big thing.

For several years after Avatar it was hard to watch movies that weren't showing in 3D. People rushed out to buy 3D TVs. Phones were featuring 3D displays. Cameras were boasting the ability to capture 3D pictures...

I think 3D will eventually make a come back as VR technology progresses, but I genuinely didn't get the hype for 3D during that period.

> We claim that EGP variation across researchers adds uncertainty: non-standard errors. To study them, we let 164 teams test six hypotheses on the same sample.
Expert systems are not dead.

We use them at work for the diagnosis of mechanical parts rather than human bodies. We don't call them expert systems but they are exactly that. There is a database of potential failures, repairs and verifications, and it will suggest a troubleshooting procedure taking cost into account. It means that it may try unlikely causes first if they are easy to check. It also has simple learning capabilities.

The problem with expert systems is that it needs a curated and complete database. It is possible to do with mechanical parts as they are well specified and failure modes are well documented. The top-down approach comes naturally because that's how components in a mechanical system are designed. By comparison, human bodies are a complex mess.

As for ChatGPT, it is a pure product of technical advances. Neural networks are an old idea, they knew about the theory in the 60s, and we had implementations in the 80s. The problem is that with little data and limited computing power, they were little more than toys. They have been made practical in the last few years only because of the "rich internet" on one side and lots of powerful GPUs on the other. And the way I understand it, recent advances in deep learning technology is not really fundamental research, more like trying a bunch of stuff and see what sticks, again made possible by lots of data and computing power.

> I highly doubt that would ever be possible in practice, as our inputs are much too complex. But I want to point out, you're basically saying here "humans are nearly stateless if we take a snapshot of their state and simulate that state..."

1) We don't have infinite inputs

2) We (our brains) don't have infinite processing

3) We (our brains) don't have infinite lossless storage: Our brains often perform pruning of unimportant information.

Given that there is an ultimately finite upper bound of both # of inputs & processing power & storage, at some point, the simulation of a human from a given snapshot is reductively possible.
I remember watching a tv program named "Beyond 2000" (obviously, this was last century) which featured upcoming technology. One of these was an ultra-sonic dishwasher. It was supposed to be faster, and use less detergent and water than 'ordinary' dishwashers (though I suppose dishwashing machines in the 1990s probably used a lot more water than they do now).
Never heard anything about it again.

(Edit: I mean a full-size dishwasher, not the little devices that are partially immersed in water)

I wonder how hard it would be for Apple and Lenovo to back out of their design decisions back to a world where this is possible. Even with single-block-of-Aluminium it should be possible to do parts swap yourself.

Taking apart Dell commercial builds is often nice, well designed plastic holders rather than screws, and thumb-screws where there are screws. The server airflow also seemed pretty rational. But I had a dell consumer grade laptop and it was a PoS. So.. things vary.
Good point about functions. Normally it's not something I notice because I'm not using Bash. But every once a while I use set in Bash and I'm blasted with a slew of preloaded functions.
Yeah that's the downside of course. I still think US doctors and the entire US medical system unlike other occupations, deserves to be replaced.

But the free market is the one that makes the rules here. If it can be replaced, it will, whether it deserves to be replaced is irrelevant.
I think the Cortex-X series cores are the ones starting to make their way into laptops and the like (Cortex-X4 is the latest). These are Arm's "flagship" cores.
I have the exact same experience. I got “reputation” by creating a daily do-welled that would collect np by automating all of the daily tasks. That let me into the private bb forum channels that had the auto buyers, captcha solvers, etc. I look back on those memories fondly - I must have been 10-11 years old then and was amazed at the skill disparity for the auto buying programs - constantly had the rarest stamps. I’m pretty sure all of my accounts were banned, including coveted short nicks like “bg”.
The last comment is actually pretty interesting and spot on. In the Java/JDK world - which you can assume as a „framework“ - you can cancel blocking IO via the Thread.interrupt() mechanism. And that works because it’s deeply integrated into the framework, similar like async Rust runtimes provide support for cancellation.
Life, especially a stressed one. Making life changes takes a lot of mental energy and some folks don't have it to spare.

> at the same time it's also the precursor to the thing that replaces programmers.

It seems far more likely that the successors will create more programmers, not unlike the evolution of the elevator. Newer elevator designs didn't replace the elevator operator. They allowed anyone to become the elevator operator.
Of course it will hurt the poor.

However, the more pressing issue is whether the existing democracy is inherently designed to marginalize those below a certain economic threshold. I think it is.

Add Delphi to that mix. Proper Delphi I mean, not the complicated mess it later became.
Wrong again. This is a case of reliability and just because there is one anecdote of the 'correct' diagnosis, it hardly means it is reliable overall. In fact you wouldn't use these AI systems and trust their judgement at face value without the involvement of human doctors because by default, you don't trust their outputs. This is on top of the fact that these AI systems are unexplainable black boxes which cannot transparently reason and explain their own decisions.

It also appears that this 'research' study is quite frankly a surface level one with an extremely low sample size of 30 rather than the 1,000 sample size you suggested in your example.

So I can only dismiss that study since it is not sufficient enough to result in conclusive evidence of reliability.
Ideally they know exactly how it will perform: Every part of the chip, including the caches, memory controller, and DRAM is implemented in a cycle accurate simulator. There are often multiple versions of that simulator, one written in C/C++ that matches the overall structure of the eventual hardware, and then simulations of the actual RTL (hardware source code, networks of gates).

The C-model and RTL model outputs are often also compared with each other as a correctness validation step, as they should ideally never diverge. (ie, implement twice, by two teams, and cross-check the results).

Those simulations are terrifically slow for larger chips, so there is a surprisingly small number of workloads that can be run through them in reasonable time. So there tend to be even more simulator implementations that sacrifice perfect performance emulation for 'good enough' performance correlation (when surprises can happen). Being able to come up with a non-exact simulator that perf-correlates with real hardware is an art in itself.
Those attorneys who blindly used ChatGPT to generate a brief regarding MC99 liability (a field they had no experience in) are a good example, I think. Of course, in that case opposing counsel started looking at the cites and quickly had questions for them...

It depends on the project how conservative you have to be, and what to emphasize. Generally, this company is very fast moving, so waiting some months could make it significantly easier to gauge if it's a good fit.
These models will be astounding in five years. Any hot take like this is click bait. And it's never from the people actually pushing the models forwards. Always onlookers
The coin op washer/dryer ones in Japan include detergent as well, though I’m not sure how effective they are. We added extra.
I'm surprised it doesn't touch on "creativity" which is a form of BS. So is being able to summarize or extract books and papers.

Unless it's mechanical work, it requires some form of BS, and that's why we've traditionally been so much better at this than machines. We've never been able to create "BS machines" before, so this completely shifts the paradigm.
They're not focused on being informationally accurate, they're optimized to be articulate
It stems from low supply of doctors. There aren't enough doctors because if there were more doctors they'd make less money.

Glad to hear it! I am ~2.5 years into my professional Rust career, ~4.5 years into working with the language, and it's still my favorite. It's certainly not the only great language out there, but it's definitely one of them.
> Eventually is a tradeoff between the amount of time you invest in making the system comprehensible and the amount of time saved in debugging.

Well said.

> But that's only after you've thrown down table stakes (unit tests, basic documentation, high-level modularization with loose coupling, preservation of critical invariants, etc.)

I would actually turn this on its head, because I would rather have a comprehensible system without those table stakes features than an incomprehensible system with them. Of course, there is a feedback cycle between unit tests/docs/invariants and comprehensibility, but I have worked in systems with pretty good tests that were still very slow to work in because of their complexity.

Imo everything comes second to comprehensibility. Without it you are hosed.
GP mentioned flowcharts in the pedagogy of medicine which is an easily verifiable statement. Anyone willing to page through Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine will be able to identify the decision tree figures. They are depicted on a pale green field.

Sure, in that in both cases you have the threads managed for you. But there's a difference between spawning a raw pthread, which will have no signal handlers/ cleanup hooks, and one managed by a framework where it can add all of those things and more.

I'll believe this when the models stop looking like machine translation did six years ago.
I think it is also worth mentioning that the site linked at the top uses the antimirov extension to brzozovzki work on regex deivatives.
I think that an AI-powered world will create a population that doesn't know how to distinguish truth from lies. People already believe that AI has some powerful hidden knowledge that they need to use, even when the AI model is spilling garbage. In the future, they will also be incapable to separate what AI models tell from reality.
During the big GPT-4 news cycle I think a bunch of folks posted claims that were outrageously good- "language model passes medical exams better than humans", etc.
When I looked into them, in nearly all cases, the claims were boosted far beyond the reality. And the reality seemed much more consistent with a fairly banal interpretation: LLMs produce realistic looking text but have no real ability to distinguish truth from fabrication (which is a step beyond bullshit!).

The one example that still interests me is math problem solving. Can next-token predictors really solve generalized math problems as well as children? https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.14168

By "replace" I mean replace someones job. Similar to how the elevator made elevator operators unemployed.
I think it's important to keep the subjectivity of your industry in mind. If you worked iPhone support at Apple wouldn't you say more often than not people had iPhone issues? You may have seen a lot of issues specific to Android because it commands more of the market globally. Or more of the market in your neighborhood. Etc.
Android being open source implies that issues are available to the public. Conversely Apple has an NDA protected internal kbase. Which operating procedure LOOKS like fewer problems? Clearly the latter. Which one actually has fewer problems is a more complex question.

I worked at Age of Learning, which was headed by the founders of Neopets after they sold the company.

I definitely had some concerns about the Scientology stuff going into that job, but I never heard a word about it the entire time I worked there.

The bigger problems were that they were a mess in terms of engineering - for example they didn't even use version control for the first few years that ABCMouse was in business.
