Did you read the article for context?

The article, and the parent commenter both refer to "what's missing" for AI to reach human level intelligence.

> The ability to use information in intuitive ways corresponds to what I and others call “system one abilities.” The little thin layer that is missing, known as “system two abilities,” is reasoning abilities.

> he explained that he and other top AI researchers have revised their estimates for when artificial intelligence could achieve human levels of broad cognitive competence

> I have the impression that it might not take a lot to fix what’s missing

This is Bengio talking about what he thinks is missing for AI to reach the level of intelligence that threatens humanity. With the parent commenter questioning how what we have is close to that and how do you even define that level of intelligence.
I considered just writing them, but I was concerned that I'd make a mistake, or be too lazy to do regular test decryptions/restores.
This isn't the announcement yet. Don't bother reading the article, it's just speculation. Probably well informed speculation, but since the actual announcement is coming out in just a few hours, why not just wait?
AI actors are inevitable. The economics are just too attractive to resist. And actor strikes can't/won't prevent it and might actually add motivation to speed up the process.

The wet dream of video producers/creators is an actor that will do, say and act exactly how they want without payment or royalties or demands of any kind. Obviously this is unlikely with a real actor but achievable with an AI character that the audience will accept as genuine.

AI characters are already starring in commercials in Japan. For example:

Most linux distributions have a rather robust mirroring operation. This is much faster than bittorrent. Lots of cloud vendors provide a mirror endpoint for traffic within their network, and ISPs typically also have them.

The network is fast enough for lots of small files to not really justify it.
I chuckled. And I know you have a point. I just immediately translated the story to US and this person would have a hard time keeping that account ( or any if he continued ).

Still, actual terror group would do it the same way intelligence agencies call their division 'room 10' as a code for something else. As a species, we certainly are a little weird.
$100k to drop out of a top university, for a gifted person who could make the most out of that environment, does not actually sound like a good deal. Does it come with additional funding down the line?

Those same people would have no problem raising $1M+ in funding when they complete their 4 year degree and decide on building a startup, no?
How do you manage onboarding and counter-party risk?
My understanding is, no eBook purchased from Amazon is fully DRM-free, whether or not the number of devices is limited.
Does anyone know the size of Bandcamp's catalogue. I'm just wondering about hardware costs (storage) would be for prospective competitors who intend to swoop up Bandcamp's customers (artists and listeners). Audio is a lot less demanding than video, and since there's no DRM it's basically just static files with some access control.
What, exactly, is to be thankful for? I'd have been thankful if Songtradr had carried over Bandcamp entirely, all employees, and proceeded from there.

There's nothing here to be thankful for, not a damn thing.
I've had an open doodle program at https://max.io/bash.html for 10 years. About 5 years ago I realized all the shared doodles went into the nginx logs as urls. So I extracted them to see what people were drawing. 90% phalluses.
Mate, the question is "who will do it first?"
Is there some room to include the fact that the middle class has access to cutting edge technology - unprecedented medical advances - and incredible access to almost anything? College is expensive but full ivy league College courses are available for free online. Homeless people have cell phones (at least in America). Our society is more diverse than ever (and anywhere). Gay rights are at an all time high. Is it just about home prices?
Don't any of these other things matter when evaluating society?

College is about learning many things. Trade schools are about learning other things. Thiel's program feels like a trade school for high-valuation entrepreneurship. Nothing wrong with that.
Outing an FBI CHS sounds like something not to do lightly, even though there might be public interest in knowing some complicated entanglements that might need oversight.

> In a written statement to Insider, [...] Johnson said that he was exposing Thiel's work as a CHS as retribution [...]

They actually wrote "retribution". Sounds like an additional hint that outing might not be OK.

Can a seasoned journalist say what the professional guidelines are here?
Also keep in mind that a virtual version is usually close but sometimes the tables have particular quirks. For example I had a stars machine. I could back the ball up into the side chute with a flipper flick for some easy points. But virtually that does not work as it relies on the elasticity of the rubber band and the weight of the ball distorting it a bit on the flipper.

Saw one guy who made VR version of these and made a physical stand which was just the plunger and buttons for him to hold onto. In VR it looked like he was playing a full thing. Tactically it felt that way too. Almost dumped 3k into that mess when I saw that before I came to my senses.

There are also large collections of them out there you can get. Most of the popular tables are recreated in some way. But in varying conditions of 'done'.
Spying is a regular part of being a government. Are you claiming that American spies didn't steal technologies from other nations?
What can I as a user even do to protect myself from this? Like what is the best practice for finding the official website of some organization in a high stakes situation?
> In the past 50 years, despite overall economic growth, the quality of life for most Americans has declined

I would like to see some citations for this because there are many things that make up quality of life, and many ways to measure them. The subsequent paragraphs talk about a decline in real wages for "Americans who didn’t have a four-year college degree", but QoL is not all about wages. Consider the example of European countries who typically appear high up in QoL rankings despite having lower median wages.
I already did that, otherwise Instagram provides no support.

I’ve been trying to escalate it to a manager, because I feel once the Irish data authority gets involved it will be handed off to legal.
var c=document.getElementById('imageView'),ctx=c.getContext('2d'),i=new Image();i.onload=function(){ctx.drawImage(i,0,0,c.width,c.height);};fetch('your-image-url').then(response=>response.blob()).then(blob=>{var r=new FileReader();r.onloadend=function(){i.src=r.result};r.readAsDataURL(blob)});
publishing is no longer a business model.

the only 'business' left for people in that 'industry' is to charge rent which is taxes
Regardless of whether as a high performer, joining a union is actually better for you in the long term, the fact that there's a plausible case against it makes it more likely that pro union employees will be disproportionately affected. Not everyone is 100% bought into unions so I'd expect these factors to play a significant role
A few copies aren't gonna kill us, but this may very well might, if charAt() is now O(n):

for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
doSomethingWith(str.charAt(i));

UTF-8 just a text encoding. If you're making something new, yeah, it's the obvious choice, but it's not better enough to justify breaking all sorts of shit just to switch over.
What’s stopping someone from just taking the derivative of a crazy expression, asking stackexchange what the integral is, then answering it themself with what they already know is the anti-derivative
With noise AND with actual content too. I have 1850 bookmarks in my browser. And that's after I basically deleted previous 2000-3000 batch a few years ago, with the intention not to do it again. I have caught myself multiple times scrolling through the My List on Netflix for minuted unable to pick anything. Same with my Steam library. And other similar examples.

All of those items are presumably not noise, because I have consciously picked them to watch or read later. I'm just like a hamster in wheel, constantly seeing new good things and storing them in an infinite cycle, never to revisit.
Exactly just luck and money. For sure he is just dumb. Just a dumb lucky guy who somehow got into a phd program for physics in some dumb university...
No matter whether this is true or not, nothing amazes me no longer with this company.
Isn't that a simple decompiler? Those exist since forever. Should be available everywhere, maybe with a plugin.
I think it ought to be illegal to advertise such an arrangement as a sale or a purchase rather than a rental or some other similar term. It would at least make clearer than a lot of so-called purchases are actually revocable and non-transferable licenses, though it might not do much to actually curb the practice.
In the last generation (and presumably true for this one), Threadripper Pros retained higher single core boost frequencies. Useful for mixed workstation loads, where you might still end up with some applications that are single/low threaded, and the extra boost is noticeable.

Also, since these will mostly sell through OEMs, I imagine many of these might get put together with the whole validated hardware+software package deal thing.
I haven't compared performance, as it's not a bottleneck for me. A 70mb file took a few seconds. Localsend could very well be faster, being a native app.
We built FindOurView because user research is slow and painful.

We’ve spoken with hundreds of product managers, designers and user researchers to understand the problems they face when doing their user research. We heard over and over that it takes too long to synthesize results and align the team after interviews.

FindOurView is a user research platform that gets you discovery insights fast, no manual tagging required. What's inside:
- A Platform that instantly evaluates your hypotheses
- A Slackbot to bring your user research into decisions

Our AI gives you a running start by reading your interview transcripts, tagging and pulling quotes about your hypotheses, and giving you a rationale on each validation or invalidation done. This cuts out the majority of manual work in discovery synthesis, but we also keep you in control - you can always edit any result or decision reported by the AI. After all that, you can hop in slack and ask our Slackbot more questions about your data, so you and your team can bring your user research into your team's decision making process.

Excited that we just launched on Product Hunt this week. Our product is free to try out, and we'd love to hear any thoughts, feedback or questions you'd like to share. Thank you HN community!
but realistically they aren't, so why are you even mentioning it?

not every app is on the windows or Mac App store, not every app is on the Linux package managers. even so there is no sandboxing so you're just waiting until one of them gets compromised and hope nothing bad happens

sandboxing hostile apps is the only true way to protect yourself, and even that isn't perfect

Try web dev or game mods - when I was her age that was what I did and a lot of the joy was making something that I could immediately 'see' worked or not and interact with + that other people could use and talk to me about.

I’m a libertarian and I believe in a “night watchmen state” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night-watchman_state

Not all libertarians are anarchists, that is a faction but not the majority IMO.

I would overhaul the law enforcement apparatus in my ideal society. But their current existence would not prevent me from providing information to them and asking for assistance if the reason was justified.

People calling Peter Thiel a hypocrite are wrong.
> The Ingolstadt public prosecutor's office in Bavaria, after having previously refuted allegations of an attack on AfD co-chairman Tino Chrupalla at a campaign event last week, has said that the conservative leader did indeed suffer from some kind of "puncture injury,"

So Elon took a position on this issue in support of this politician. But my issue is what makes this politician a nazi? Genuine question as I'm not a German.

Those have low inequality in personal income, plus a strong social security net. USA lacks both of these characteristics.

I think the issue is stereotyping. Replace "libertarian" with "republican" or "democrat" and reconsider the statement.

People need to stop spouting the idea that plugging into the fediverse is "easy." Maybe for you, maybe for me, but the vast chorus since Twitter started circling the drain says otherwise.

While I am a fan of federated social, it does not solve the problem for artists of replacing Bandcamp in any way, shape, or form. Bandcamp provided a storefront, payment handling, a distribution mechanism[1], and a potential audience + editorial that kept people coming back.

A Castopod for Musicians does none of this.

[1] Distribution of digital media, anyway. Distributing physical media was still an exercise left to the artist.
Berliner Sparkasse?
How many times per second do you think awk, grep, sed, et al are being used right now?

Composable tools exist. Whatever horseshit is going on around ANY bigger sized application is not. Excel, any random React app, GIMP… sure, compositional engineer might be taking place WITHIN the application, but it is barely composable beyond a Copy, Paste, Save As dialog and the ability to arrange the window with other windows.

Can’t you see how things immediately invert and turn inwards, away from interaction, away from composability, the moment the turn towards structured interfaces begins?

An API is a narcissist. You have to live in its world. A Unix pipe is a communist.

Think, aggregate vs combined in terms of the GPL… pipes vs APIs…
Marie Kondo - Spark Joy. I like it because it provides a different perspective on the stuff you buy but don't use (thank you for showing me that I didn't like this style of shirt) as you give it away. Getting rid of stuff isn't revolutionary, but how she thinks about the things you own is different.

Her show is very similar to the book, but the book explains it better. Her second book is more of the same, not sure about the third
How come everyone is in debt then? What is median debt?
No, it is an entirely fact-based move to reduce the risk of empowering totalitarian regimes with advanced information technology and advanced weapons technology, including nuclear weapons.

Note that the warning comes from South Korea, so are they pushing a racial bias against themselves?

Yes it really sucks to have to endure racial biases, which are a fundamentally stupid way of dividing the world. But that does not mean that everything is an example of such bias.
And that’s exactly the “thought” that hit piece was designed to introduce.
Exactly this. While I'm not a huge fan of the "Bazaar" as a development model, I'm even more terrified of the "Cathedral" and/or anybody who has an idea that there's one-true-way to do things (and it's always theirs and only theirs).

Behind that scary door is the war of architects and their egos, splintering half-completed standards, and nightmares from the past like CORBA etc -- maybe-decent on paper, but good luck ever finding an open and usable and actual quality, working implementation.

What we need is to develop consensus on how to do things, and that, unfortunately, is messy, takes time, and involves people compromising all over the place. And I'm not convinced that committees are the right instrument for that either.

The essay's slagging of the .com era is funny to me as well; because I lived through that era and was absolutely one of the messy green hackers/devs that he is complaining about. Funny thing is though that things shipped, still, and it led to a lot of people being able to make web pages, write code, and get themselves out on the Internet who hadn't had that privilege before.

And it wasn't the quality of the software that caused the .com implosion after, it was the quality of the business plans.

And I also saw what came after, the kind of reaction to the .com chaos; it was all J2EE and EJBs and big enterprise application servers, and I never worked in a single shop where that actually led to anything quality and saw more than one where a team that was doing Perl+CGI+Apache ate itself by rewriting everything "the right way." A few years later, the trend swung back the other way; Ruby on Rails, web2.0 etc. etc.

Software development is messy. That's just how it is.
China has collapsing demographics. Hated by every one of its neighbors. An economy completely dependent on exports. No food security. No energy security. A dictatorship.
Firing everybody and only re-hiring the meek employees is a classic union-busting tactic and plainly unlawful.
It’s called painting with too wide a brush.

A lot of us are simply interested in promoting and continuing to evolve and understand that well-reasoned ideology. We feel its application can improve the human condition.
still racist, it's the worst kind of racism, brother Vs brother (or possibly more accurate cousins? dunno)

This is really exciting, one of those projects I've been tempted to build myself over the last decade+. There's a massive unmet market need for an LMS that plays well with other open source web software (integration with the existing OSS LMSes is a startup MVP's worth of effort itself).

Are there samples of dynamic web activities one could look at / a template format? It would be amazing if there were a way to provide interactive web activities hosted as open source (e.g. a repo that provides a ThreeJS activity with block-based coding, or e.g. a writing activity that measures language grade level while the student is writing).

Also curious if there are plans for localization support? (This can be tough to add on later with heavily dynamic/interactive blocks and activities)
The gifted person can make the most out of any environment. If the impact that person desires is to build a valuable business, going to uni sort of dilutes their effort in many ways and sets them back a few years.

Maybe that student had $100k+ in scholarship money? Maybe not.
350W even for 12C/24T is little bit overkill. Probably they will be closed to 120-130W.

yes, that's what they're doing.

because they hate North Koreans, because it's part of their government.

how this works is described in "1984" (by Orwell), which is a fictional work.... ahahahhaah
Uh, yes, they are. They all sit on the board, and collectively own a majority of the company's stock IIRC. You're also not remembering that the company literally bears their family name. Multiple Walton family members are on the board, and the 1st, 2nd and 5th largest shareholders of the company's stock are Waltons. Those 3 shareholders collectively own roughly 42% of all outstanding shares.

They also donate not out of the good of their hearts, but to protect and grow their economic interests, which is primarily the value of Walmart's stock.
YouTube launches new page that only shows videos from "authoritative" sources
The first half of the article was pretty general advice that didn't seem to me to have anything more specific with how to deal with North Koreans than how you'd deal with a fraudulent IT freelancer in general.

The second half though was explicitly calling out a country/group, not North Korea, but professors who have Chinese citizenship.
Hypocrisy can be found in many groups. For example I've seen many leftists that claim to be pro-immigration, protest against asylum centra opening in their wealthy neighbourhoods. Or people that claim to be worried about climate change travel the world and protest against wind turbines near their neighbourhoods.

Hypocrisy is not limited to certain groups, pretty much all people are hypocritical at times.
Would that happen even if you laminate it + stick it in a dark place?
Thats a very broad statement re: no problem raising $1M+ in funding when they complete their 4 year degree
This is correct. All I know them from is their mobile phone business, which is all but gone nowadays. The Nokia brand lives on through HMD Global so I figured Nokia itself must do a ton of other stuff. I got a few replies with what they do nowadays, thanks!
The microwave oven market has witnessed significant growth in recent years due to its widespread adoption in households and commercial settings. Microwave ovens have become a staple in modern kitchens, providing convenience and speed in food preparation. These appliances use microwave radiation to heat and cook food quickly, making them a popular choice for reheating, defrosting, and cooking a wide range of dishes.

Google is effectively a giant mall, and mall owners sure as heck police their stores by actively trying to identify criminal storefronts.

Google doesn't have to do this because they are anticompetitive.

The root problem here is that Google shouldn't be in this position where we are talking about them acting as law enforcement, and a business getting banned by Google is akin to getting ejected from society.
Libertarians stand firm behind the rule of law, and a “free market” solution to help with that is in line with such values.
