If anything it shows the opposite.

One of the most common views of AI before the present day was of a rule obsessed logical automation that would destroy the world to make more paperclips and would follow instructions to monkey paw like specificity.

Well that's pretty much gone out the window.

It's notoriously difficult to get LLMs to follow specific instructions universally.

It's also very counterintuitive to prior expectations that one of the most effective techniques to succeed in getting it to break rules is to appeal to empathy.

This all makes sense if one understands the nuances of their training and how the NN came to be in the first place, but it's very much at odds with what pretty much every futurist projection of depiction of AI before 2021.

The actual tweet in question:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1707758153977204846

It says only, "Are the German public aware of this?" as a response to a tweet about Germany funding NGOs who are shipping illegal immigrants to Italy. The original tweet ends by saying they hope the AfD will win.

So there are a few problems here:

1. Musk didn't even mention the AfD, yet he's now "promoting calls to support the far right" where by "promote" they mean "reply on Twitter to a tweet promoting".

2. The AfD is not extremist. Go read their manifesto. It's translated to English. The very first section is basically let's be more like Switzerland, lol, that well known bunch of extremists.

3. Business Insider says The billionaire had promoted the claim that Germany is facilitating "illegal" immigration to Europe. with illegal in quotes, as if there's actually some doubt about it. But it's not a claim, it's a fact, which BI admits in the very next bullet point. None of the people being shipped to Italy are legal migrants.

4. It then says Musk, on Friday, amplified similar criticism and directly waded into German domestic politics, suggesting that the governing coalition should pay a price at the ballot box. but he didn't make any such suggestion anywhere, only the tweet he was replying to did. So this point isn't accurate at all.

This is a great example of the ideological propaganda that the media loves to serve up as news. It plays fast and loose with the truth, puts words in people's mouths that they didn't even say, implies controversy and doubt over universally acknowledged facts and describes anyone who disagrees with the journalist's stance as a Nazi extremist.

Maybe they did in the initial period or in case by case basis. Initially serfdom (in the Roman empire) was a somewhat voluntary contract individuals chose to enter into. When serfdom became an entrenched institution with no way out it was certainly huge net negative for the serfs.

.e.g. what protection or justice do you think the 'lords' provided to serfs in 17-19th century Russia, Poland or the rest of Eastern Europe (in some cases it was effectively chattel slavery, there was a caste of "landless" peasants in Russia who could be rented out or effectively (even if not fully legally) sold to other nobles).

> Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also in his mines and forests and to labour to maintain roads.”

True but it's still a very different relationship. Serfs were effectively slaves (of course conditions and degree of autonomy they had varied significantly), in many ways closer to modern farming or factory equipment than modern worker-consumers.

Honestly I think the whole feudalism angle is a stretch, the current situation seems much more similar to 19th century robber barons/"unrestricted" capitalism.

Masks were mandated on the subway in New York until September 2022. I'd consider this to not be "normality".
I take great comfort in trying to figure out why these sites were buried. I believe the current understanding is that that were carefully covered with dirt contemporaneously with usage.
This is a rather amazing comment, I'm astonished by the bald-faced lie that you open your first paragraph with:

> I'm not proposing that we split companies.

Also you, only a couple comments up:

> As far as I am aware my proposal would only force Apples to split itself in 2: a hardware company that sells top notch hardware (so top notch in fact that even the hardware interfaces are as clean and slick as an iPad's case), and a software company that sells a top-notch integrated software suite on whatever hardware they chose to support (and no other hardware).

Which is it, split companies or don't split companies? You can't have it both ways. If you aren't proposing that we split companies then you can't propose we split Apple unless you want to be a pedantic twit and point out that that's just one company and not companies.
The raw LHC data is already filtered down to a tiny percentage (<0.1% IIRC) using several levels of hardware and then software triggers to make sure only the interesting stuff is recorded. So LHC could very easily fill several orders of magnitude more than this.
True! Didn't consider that.
Uh, no. All non-petrol powered vehicles pay road user charges.

For petrol vehicles we tax the petrol instead. This is because the cost of compliance is much cheaper (for the government and the car owner) if we tax the petrol. We don't do that for desil vehicles because a large about of desil is used by farm equipment and other off road vehicles. It's easier to do road user charges than to have a refund scheme for desil taxes.

Note well what I wrote:

>> I'm Greek and I watched the events of the disastrous Greek delegation to Europe unfold from abroad, the UK where I'm an immigrant.

I don't know better because I'm Greek. I paid attention because I'm Greek.

But, also: native language, better grasp of context. Don't understimate that. Yes, I have a better chance to know better than anyone who isn't Greek and that's what it is.

Finally, I'm a leftie. I am politically invested: on his side. But even so, Varoufakis is terrible and he has pissed off everyone to the left and to the right. It takes a special kind of idiot to do that.

The person you're replying to didn't suggest voting for Republicans; that's just something you invented because of the uniquely American habit of assuming politics is a zero-sum game with exactly two players.

I hate the state of our political system so much...
I think pervasive ubiquitous & ambient computings are all in early phases, but have a long-run massive impact. We're in a lull, where the big players are realizing conversational chatbots for example aren't going to be a major profit driver anytime soon, but they also kind of know that there's existential risk to having nothing on this part of the platform map. But we're also seeing a world where multi-device control is expected, where we have expanded our computing horizons well past the single system single display model. And where new modalities like voice control and watch control are growingly expected. It makes sense for groups to pioneer here, for advanced players to try hard.

Rather than cloud my mind with negativity - and yes I have plenty of doubts - some of the hints here have some promise. They seem to have a lot more respect for personal data, and the tech scene desperately needs some less shady players to redeem it's image & help us compute & connect.

Their tech looking to use a laser projector for overlaying information seems like an interesting idea. VR and AR (XR) have been a major fixation for tech for a while, but wearing a display keeps having downsides, and the promise here of combining digital augmentations atop the real world, without so big a downside, seems promising to me. It would be cool to lookup weather or recipes or get other infographics quickly. I could totally see kit-ing out a room with a couple moderately priced projects for this purpose.

There's a long proud history of post-display ubicomp in general. The Nomad wearable comes to mind as a prominent early device.

There's some low-effort negative swipes sayiny 'if I can't teleconference on it it's no good to me' but we are surrounded by screens. Most of them aren't ours don't do our will, but part of the pervasive/ubicomp dream has always been to make these ambient peripherals more broadly available. Even if you do have such a hard fast need, I could imagine a world where it didn't necessarily have to be my own device that I carry that I needed to teleconference. I can imagine ubicomp winning, advancing enough, such that I would be well setup everywhere. Further, it's not hard for me to imagine a device which is mostly not screen oriented, which is mainly about other modalities, but which indeed does have a small screen to fallback on.

Blood letting and lobotomies were believed to be "life-saving" and grounded in science. I am willing to bet there had been quite a few kids with mental issues that received lobotomy back then would end up getting "gender affirming" care nowadays.

Based on detrans stories online I do not believe these procedures are "voluntary". Coercion seems common. At least that's what had been said in Congress under the oath.
Not to mention how dangerous these large trucks like the F150 are to pedestrians. It's a real shame vehicles like this have been normalized.
I totally agree with what you're saying. However, does it apply to Varoufakis? Can you cite sources or outline an argument that his policies actually were divorced from reality? What would have happened if the Greek government had not backed down? Would it have been worse than what's slowly happening now? (Honest questions, I don't know enough economics to judge)
It may surprise you, but people with kids or a mortgage also go to parties and organise events.

It's true for a triangle wave and a square wave, depending on if the output has a reconstruction filter doing linear interpolations between samples. You cannot accurately sample a 22.05 kHz sine wave (or any other "complex" waveform) with a 44.1 kHz sample rate.
How big are y'all that you need InfluxDB?

For one database that receives 100M 600 byte JSON records/day, a single node AWS PostgreSQL RDS instance is handling it effortlessly, and the DBA work is very part-time.

Well said. Thank you.

I think I can also pretty decisively say that hospital purchasing optimizations give face-fitting masks a bad rap. The FFP2 masks that hospital staff wear here are cheap and very uncomfortable. This bleeds into society as a negative view.

There’s also another aspect: The difference between a N95/FFP2/whatever mask as part of the industrial production of a verifiable sanitization chain in a hospital on one hand, and on the other as a piece of fabric that’s ludicrously effective at stripping infectious particles from the air.

There are many more edge cases in a hospital, and many more pathogens. In private life – mine at least – it’s only really COVID that matters. In that case a mask can be reused again and again and it’s OK to touch it, basically.

Re. being weird:

I don’t mind.

The weirdness hurts the family. There’s a big, big gap of dissonance between what we need to do and what public health authorities say. This includes flat out demonstrably wrong statements about transmission where I live. This dissonance makes the family weird, and it has caused severe social isolation of a mother with a young child.

I want to assure the reader that we don’t ask for much. We are very, very polite. We don’t demand anything, we are not difficult.

It’s purely the astounding dissonance. People don’t know what to do and just fade away.

It’s a very painful way to be weird. You feel it in your bones and your soul how unnatural it is.

I don’t have a list of examples, but this is historically a problem for the web.

I’ve sat in a couple of Ecmascript events where maintainers complain about Google implementing features before approval. Sometimes Chrome ships stage 2 features because (apparently) Google engineers don’t want to respect due process.

It’s known, we just put up with it. I also blame developers working on non-standardized features. You should work with the ES that is official and current, not the one Google is forcing on other vendors.

Apologies for not listing all the times this happened, but I think too many.

But at which point would they stop being persisted? Surely not right after the build completing, so.. requiring manually running some "ok now clean redownloadable dependencies" command (noone's gonna bother, and at that point a regular clean makes more sense)? adding a cron job on my system (please don't)? on some other build command invocation after some time (will likely never happen)?

Most of your suggestions here make sense under the assumption that the project in question is one whose development I participate in/with some regularity engage with, but that simply isn't the case for most projects a given person may have some desire/need to build from source.

The filters do linear interpolation between samples. This bridges some shortcomings of a sample rate too low to capture complex waveform at high frequency, but it's not a silver bullet.
