I don’t mean to be mean but this is an example of what bugs me about the AI hype cycle.

Person has a valid criticism, the answer is a vague, wishy washy “it’ll improve and be able to provide all things to all people in exactly the way they need it”

I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that statement. What are the concrete steps from here to there? What’s the timeline?
I see lots of people saying "Encourage this"

I see no actual solutions.
Jesus, imagine the thrill, that you have a full blown airplane in your backyard. Going out during the nights and sleep next to it, sit in the cockpit, whatever.
No. That’s my whole point. “Normal” on a geological time scale is completely irrelevant to humans, whose society is built on a tiny stable slice of that timeframe. Geological time scale “normal” includes many states that are not survivable for our societies.

What we care about is normal relative to our cozy state that we have now.

Yes, but I think a "new dollar" is more likely than the US putting up with million-dollar bills. I guess it's a tough call which one is more embarrassing.
I think you could easily convert every stored value to the new unit of measure by multiplying by an appropriate factor. In your example that would mean multiplying all the old values by 10. But when you're designing such software, you could also be conservative and use a smaller unit than cents (which probably many financial sw already do, as you already have things considering fractions of cents like gasoline prices).

Yes, being able to voice chat with AI is interesting, and we can already do that (e.g., using voice-to-text).

> AI will improve to infer more meaning from what users want

This is true. It already knows what it should do when I give it a piece of code and say "" (the bug emoji) or "spot the bug". If you give it the error code, it already knows it has to find a solution.

But for non-programming tasks, it'll be a challenge to infer what the user wants because language is vague and people are used to speaking ambiguously and clarifying only when the other person doesn't understand.
There are a handful of solutions to the problem of the lights being on while in bed, but wanting them to be off. One way is to turn off the lights before entering the bed. Another way is to get out of the bed and turn off the lights and then return to the bed.

Another popular solution is to place a lamp near the bed, such that the light controlled by the wall switch can be turned off before entering the bed and the lamp nearer the bed can be turned off while in bed.

Any rounding discrepancies simply get posted to a rounding-error account. For example, oracle's ledger will complain if there is rounding and no rounding-error account to post to. https://support.oracle.com/knowledge/Oracle%20Cloud/2411363_...
BCD makes stored value -> human-readable trivial, at the cost of complicating math on those values.

So it's useful for applications where you're mostly doing human input/output <-> stored value.

But as soon as you do any non-trivial math on those values, using (fixed point?) integers wins. At the cost of a simple stored value <-> human readable conversion.

I'd think most financial applications fall into the category "do math, so integers win over BCD".
I don't know which system you're on, but GNU bc does not support this flag.

On the other hand, bash and zsh support this:

bc -l <<<'(2/3) * 3 - 2'

edit: neither does busybox.
It is interesting that you mentioned Ethiopia. I live Ethiopia and am hopping to build a machine like that. lol.
Right, Guix solved that a while back:

https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2018/bootstrapping-rust/

I was thinking about the fact that building Rust requires cURL, Python, CMake, and more, which makes the "bootstrapping graph"[0] very complicated if coreutils is rewritten in Rust.

He said the work was taking their money, unless the contract specifically said

“The artist shall utilise the bank notes to visually reproduce a specific artwork, such as the Mona Lisa. The bank notes should form the actual colours and contours of the artwork, and the final piece should not be a mere abstract interpretation.”

Maybe it did and that’s why they got the money back, but if not I’d side with the artist
fx looks to work from the command line (without viewing) to do more than just inspect, looks like you can do pretty much anything to it with a bit of JS, though not from the TUI afaict

There are many JSON viewers, I would think that inspecting with collapsable sections ought to be right in VS Code with LSP/treesitter, no extra tools needed.

What's more interesting to me is what can you do with the JSON in these tools, validate, filter, transform, chain...?
I don't think that quite emphasises enough why the P curves are rightly seen as suspicious.

The NSA knew all about the importance of nothing-up-my-sleeve numbers for eliminating suspicions around their involvement. That's why the curve constants are the output of a hash function.

And yet for this scheme to correctly eliminate suspicion, it's vital that the inputs to the hash function are also above suspicion. So a good choice of input to the hash function would be something like 1, or the digits of pi, or some other natural number. Then there can be no possibility of game playing even if the hash function is broken (which as we now know, SHA-1 is).

The NSA didn't do this. Instead they picked huge numbers that have no obvious origin and then refused to explain where they came from. They created something that superficially looks like it should place the scheme above suspicion, but when you look at the details you discover it doesn't actually do so.

This is catastrophic! The absolute best case explanation is rank incompetence, but that's quite simply implausible as these schemes are otherwise designed in a highly competent manner. The NSA just doesn't develop cryptographic schemes with obvious howling errors in them. Except in this case, where they supposedly did.

None the attempted justifications for why this is OK hold water, in my view. They all rest on a series of very dubious assumptions:

1. If there was a way to build exploitable curves, academics would know about it.

2. If an outside researcher did discover such a technique, they'd actually tell everyone about it and not, say, be bribed or coerced or convinced to stay silent by the NSA.

3. The NSA didn't know SHA-1 was broken despite being the designers of it, and therefore would have had to do a brute force search for an exploitable curve, which they couldn't have done.

What do we know today? Well, we know that SHA-1 has critical weaknesses which took decades to discover, we know that the NSA had an active programme of sabotaging cryptographic standards via kleptography, and we know that they are more than capable of corrupting large numbers of people across many institutions, including professional cryptographers working at places like RSA. So none of these assumptions look safe.

I think the idea that this can't be an NSA attack despite things looking exactly the way it would if it was boils down to a desire to believe that academia can't be far behind what the NSA can do. But that's a very subjective sociological belief. Having spent time at academic cryptography conferences and reading their papers, I don't find it hard to believe that the NSA could know things about ECC that aren't in the public domain. Academic incentives just aren't there to research the things the NSA cares about, especially in recent years.
I don't know if there was ever a time in the world, where an accusation did not automatically mean guilt. However, it seems in modern times, because of the ease at which information can be disseminated, that you are guilty by accusation first.

I don't really know anything about this guy, and YouTube is a private company like Twitter, they can do whatever they want now, but something just seems inherently unfair to punish based on accusation alone. Even if its multiple people.

Prove it, then punish, is the only way to at least strive for a fair system.

> the media coverage is small

I was mostly driving yesterday, and it had significant radio coverage. LBC even interviewed a former 'post-mistress' that suffered a custodial prison sentence, and was furious this compensation wasn't sufficient. She was convicted of taking £59k and she got a 9 month term (half of which was released with tag).

Considering people who lost their career, marriages, houses etc. I get it! Imagine your children thinking you are a convicted thief.

This was her, https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2021-04-23/never-thought-t...
The museum lent the artist money as well as paying him to produce the works. Accepting the art submitted does not invalidate the artist's requirement to repay the loan.

>"prioritize".

How?
Headline is slightly misleading. He doesn't have to pay back his base fee and and actual material costs. What he does have to pay back is the additional money he was supposed to spend on the work, plus legal fees. When he pitched the work and got the commission he said an annual average danish salary in cash would be integrated into the work, and the museum agreed to give him this money on top of his fees. When the money wasn't used in this way in the work the museum received, the museum decided they wanted that money back.

Development of game engine is costly and take a lot of resources, but they already had a successful product back in 2019 and long before that. With all that hiring quality of their software was more or less constant (and not too high as always) which means all recent growth was not in their core business.
Bankrupt. Icculus is famous enough for Patreon. Everyone else got good jobs.

It's crazy that nobody bought them. I would have expected video game companies to be more forward-looking and try to create an alternative to Windows, especially after seeing the success console had, and Linux was the obvious choice.

I'm no zealot or apologist for the FSF, but on a philosophical level, your alternate expression (and the expression above that you're amending) feel like they both miss the point altogether. I don't think the FSF cares at all about corporations, profits, or long-term commitments. Their whole point, as I understand it, has to do with whether a given license leaves the door open for the well to get poisoned. A license is either prophylactically sound or it isn't.

It doesn't matter what hypothetical profit I could make. I didn't dream of fat stacks of cash and then derived the desire to write.

I should (and do) have the right to prevent pilfering of my work. Or more accurately, forced inclusion into a system of pilfering, not just one thief taking to afford bread, but tens/thousands/hundreds of thousands doing the same, together.

I love the option to include my work on the web, in a library, ect. But to do so against my choice is beyond the pale.

I love the option to keep things exclusive and electively publish.

I write for my own reasons. I get it, the son makes abundant life for all, and the thief destroys all. I agree with the 'book' that states that truth.

Putting concepts and ideas on the web or in public access is not a clear cut win, and some ideas need decades of work to mature before they are both palatable to the public and also kept away from systematic rewrites and revisions, kept away from making a bad first impression on customers, ect , ect.

There are many many examples of works being repossesed and edited against their original intent on the web, we saw it happen to Roald Dahl recently, JK Rowling is probably next.

Why would I write harry potter if I was not motivated by money and also knew that a beaurcracy in a foriegn country was going to erase Hermoine from my books.

I'd keep my work completely out of reach, and profit less, and retain control.

Because guess what, at the end of the day, some people like Einstein, Newton, Dickens, Twain, ect would consider the work they created to be meaningful in-and-of itself. And someone who sacrifices for decades to make such a work, would rather protect it, than prostitute their beliefs for economic gain!

I mean come on, we all have notice the drop in quality of works produced and then we defend the perverse anti-incentives we have in place.

The best way to have your cake and eat it, is to actually have your cake and eat it.

Incentivize the best work to be created and then protect it once it exists. In that ideal world, who cares if people don't pay? As long as the freedom to create and deploy or retract is unimpeded, then quality works can exist.
And what percentage of UK infrastructure is water?

The reality is build time checking for safety isn't as safe as it sounds, as others have mentioned. Not only are malicious devs a problem, but hardware fails too.

Build time safety checking is valid and useful primarily for developer productivity. Runtime checks which reinforce those (and other) constructs are for ensuring things proceed as intended. There is no contradiction. Your problem is many very useful developers prefer not to have all the build time checks, and you're not going to change their minds!

Technology adoption almost always proceeds faster in cases where the existing work can be carried over as much as possible. I often wish this wasn't the case, but pragmatically it is. To get to a safer world we cannot require rebuilding it from scratch.

> So the museum director was happy, curators were interested and they were on display - feels like the money was his?

Well, the context is they paid him to reproduce previous works, such as "An Average Danish Year Income, 2010" [1] which was literally comprised of 278500 Danish Kroner, mounted and framed.

If he's contracted to produce something, and decides to produce something different instead, it seems pretty clear the money wasn't his.

Interestingly, he's not the first artist to frame cash and put it in an art gallery - for example K Foundation's money-as-art works, "Money: A Major Body Of Cash" [2]

Reality has debunked this sons of Malthus to the point of no return, and yet, here we are again with another 'boy who cried fire'. Your emotion of being alarmed is worth nothing Mr. Ehrlich, and that you are still in academia is a study case on its own.

Now, to the actual insane argument P.E. is making. The reality is that exact opposite.

The biodiversity is in the number of taxonomy families is orders of magnitude larger now than ever in the history of earth as far as we can tell (factors over Cretaceous period before dinosaurs disappeared). Today, we have literally the most biodiverse biosphere in the history of Earth.

As humanity, we shall take the role of responsibility, first by understanding deeply nature - divorced from politics and narratives convenient to the ruling classes to keep control over the 'promethean fire'. P.E. unfortunately fails this repeatedly throughout his career.

The thing that confuses me... where did the supposedly lost money go? From my very basic understanding, the computer system said there was a gap in accounting, so it was assumed to be the operator that took it. There must have been millions of £ in "lost" money, but actual accounts couldn't have shown the loss, because there wasn't. Were these convictions purely based on the data from a computer system, with no forensics accounts of the theft or where the proceeds ended up?
