I like to think of this thought experiment...

If it was feasible to practically fill and query a database with every answer for every practical prompt it would face would we probably call it a generally intelligent system or AGI? Maybe not AGI, but what if it was a system composed of lesser AI modules behind a universal presenting interface?

I think so because it would be perceptively indistinguishable in behaviour from any other 'true' definition of AGI.

And so I think as long as it exhibits what we perceive as universal adaptability, and performance at making decisions when working with any environments and input types, this is likely where I/we will absolutely be calling something 'complete AGI'. Though before that I imagine we will be marketing LLMs as having reached 'language-based AGI' status.

I don’t believe the above leads us to artificial superhuman intelligence in terms of conscious agent potential. For now what I believe might result in that is something that runs from a single unified neural network system. It should also be observed to be universally adaptable and performant at making decisions in all environments and consuming many input types. And then also, it should be continuously running within the network. It shouldn't halt for prompt, or pass through a text stage in the loop.

I built approximated.app on elixir, proxying 300k+ domains. It's a great ecosystem, I've never seen anything else handle really hard problems so well in my 15 years as a developer.

Concurrency? Trivial.

Reliability? Unbelievable. (YouTube Sasa Juric's "Soul of Elixir" talk)

Clustering/horizontal scaling? Built in, even across networks.

Web framework? Competitive with the best (I'd argue better, with liveview but YMMV).

AI/ML? Amazing support and tooling.

Embedded/IoT? Incredible support with the nerves project.

There's only 2 places where I feel it falls down a bit:

1) brittle dev tooling in ElixirLS that trips up new and experienced devs alike. Soon to get better though as competing LSPs are in the works.

2) no official release-as-binary tooling yet. Things are way better in the last few years for releases, and you're probably containerizing anyways, but I am jealous of e.g. Go's single file binaries.

> P106-100's were mining cards and locked to PCIe 1.1

This is not exactly accurate. P106-100 were not specifically made for mining, unlike NVIDIA CMD Hx cards (https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/cmp/). P106-100 cards are NOT artificially throttled, but the specs are still very poor compared to modern cards: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/p106-100.c2980

It is true that they are not worth the power costs. I merely made a point that gluts of outdated hardware is a thing even when NVIDIA is a monopoly.
I use Yabai on my Macs without SIP enabled. Here’s a list of the features that absolutely require SIP to be disabled: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/issues/1863

But you don’t need to disable SIP just for tiling. I find it works extremely well.

> there's still a ton of tinkering and tweaking you need to do to get Yabai really working correctly

This is pretty much true of basically every tiling window manager on Linux, too.

For me, using Nix-Darwin for MacOS and NixOS has drastically simplified my tiling window manager setup after initially doing the work to figure out my ideal config.

The two linked operating systems, Collapse OS and Dusk OS have the following descriptions:

Collapse OS

> Runs on Z80, 8086, 6809 and 6502 machines with very little resources

Dusk OS

> Dusk OS is a 32-bit Forth and big brother to Collapse OS. Its primary purpose is to be maximally useful during the first stage of civilizational collapse, that is, when we can't produce modern computers anymore but that there's still many modern computers around.

In these scenarios it makes sense to give up on TLS. So probably that is why the author decided to serve their sites over plain HTTP only.

from Apple Macintosh Segment Manager docs - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/ma...:

"Although needed code segments are loaded into memory automatically, it is your
application’s responsibility to unload any segments that are not currently being used.
The Segment Manager provides a single procedure, UnloadSeg, that you can call to
unload a segment. To unload a segment is simply to unlock it. By unlocking unneeded
segments, you allow them to be relocated or purged if necessary to accommodate a later
memory-allocation request. Thus, using the Segment Manager to unload unneeded
segments is one important aspect of an efficient memory-management policy."
This is an interesting paper and one I would never have found on my own. How did you come across it?

See gerrymandering. See abstention rates and voter apathy.

Politics, like any system, can be gamed. Considering the incentives and interests at play, it is no surprise that it is. Taking into account how long these systems or similar have been in place, it shouldn’t be surprising that efficient tactics and strategies have been devised and refined over time.

Also considering how uneducated most of us are when it comes to politics, it is no surprise that most of us fall continuously fall for age old tactics and strategies.

Regarding "we the people", I personally do not come from nor live in the US. In the country I come from, people chose to do exactly what you suggest and vote for someone new. They eschewed both traditional parties, did not fall into the extremes' traps, and elected… the underdog!

Or so they thought. It seems they hate him now. He did get reelected, but by less than 40% of the people who could vote if they cared to or believed it would change anything.

Nothing new under the sun, really. I’m pretty sure we’d find the same patterns at play in Athen’s Boule and Ancient Rome.

But hey, "with every mistake we must surely be learning".

In case it wasn’t clear, I have personally entirely given up on both my fellow citizens and my home country’s (a liberal democracy as well) politics.
Only something like 10% of the world's money are physical bills and coins. The rest is electronic, just numbers in reputable databases.

I've been in NL for 4 years, but I also lived in Germany and UK, so I can do some comparison.

I think in NL there is a kind of humour that could be hard on foreigners, my friends circle was composed of indians, malaysians, irish, italians, and chineses.

It is common to hear natives mimicking indian's accent, asking asians if they eat dogs, etc.

For example, I stopped going to the office, as italian because my manager would come to my desk every now and then to say in front of others: "Oh he doesn't like pizza with pineapple make sure you don't eat it" or "can I have cappuccino or it's forbidden at this hour?"

But I had also a couple of friends from outside EU who needed jobs in order to stay, who were assigned tasks with deadline on Monday, on Fridays.

I think it's a kind of humour that could come from good will, but in the end results in a overall exploitation to make you work extra time without overtime or to force you to do weekends.

For me it's very multicultural, I've loved it during remote working as I was able to don't have much contacts with natives, but I couldn't find anything that was fully remote so I should've been forced to go to the office outside my friends' bubble

It seems historically, unscrupulous corporations and governments entrench their power by holding back technology from wider adoption or further development.

San Jose struggles with this balance -- too much residential.

This article explains a bit:

Why San Jose Is Barely in the Black Despite the Tech Boom

https://www.kqed.org/news/10580994/why-san-jose-is-barely-in...

With 1 million residents, San Jose is the 10th-largest city in the United State, according to the U.S. Census. But each workday, it drops to the equivalent of the 13th-largest city. That's because residents leave San Jose for jobs elsewhere in Silicon Valley.

That has negative consequences for the city budget. Take sales taxes, for instance. San Jose pulls in some of the lowest revenues per capita in Santa Clara County. Every business lunch bought in Los Gatos, every pair of hiking boots in Campbell, helps to cement a regional imbalance. The smaller cities are pulling in more sales tax income relative to their population base. That applies to hotel, business, utility and parcel taxes, too.

...

San Jose is now the biggest bedroom community in Silicon Valley, but it didn’t find the right balance to create the tax base it needs today.

Most email clients have powerful filtering options. And since this is the tool of the trade for kernel developers, they use this power. If you did work on a tool that used an email list as bugtracker, you’d likely have a well-working setup for that.

And when you have setup your email client, it beats github issues in time efficiency any day.

The simple solution to this is to promise that any browser instances outside the EU will label these certificates as invalid with very big red scary warnings (maybe mumbling something about risk of state-sponsored attacks). The CAs trying to push those certificates will then quickly lose interest in pushing this regulation...

Within the EU, this can also be solved: Pop up a dialog with the certificate, showing "This web site uses a special kind of certificate that <browsername> is by law required to accept. <issuing authority> from <country> claims that this web site has the following identity <claim>. Such certificates are typically used by (explain whatever the intended use case of these certificates is supposed to be). If you do not expect this web site to use such a special certificate, this may be a government-sponsored attack. The below text will help any technical people investigate. <base64 of the certificate> [ ] do not show again for this certificate and site".

That fulfills both the letter and the spirit of the law while making it very unlikely that these certificates can be used maliciously (and if they were, would make it extremely likely that signed evidence of that would quickly show up). Optionally, allow site operators of major sites to indicate that they will never use such certificates.
Maybe the review institution of a paper should always add one known flaw that peer review must find to ensure a quality control of the process?

5G does not require more points of presence than LTE. They can run on the same frequencies, which is where properties of range and penetration come from. 5G has additional higher frequencies with those issues yes, but they're not the only form of 5G.

It's like the difference between 2.4Ghz wifi, and 5/6 Ghz wifi. The 6Ghz spectrum has less penetration than 5ghz which has less than 2.4ghz. But you're still going to be running Wifi 6 on 2.4ghz instead of Wifi 4 because it still has improvements at those frequencies. In that same way, new towers are going to be 5G. The only drawback of running 5G instead of 4G on the same frequency is device compatibility.

AT&T runs 4G and 5G on bands 2. And are shutting down 4G on band 5 to deploy 5G instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T_Mobility#Radio_frequenc...

I naturally take the lead and often end up in a similar situation where I spent a lot of time on leading, instead of tech.

Early this year I joined a new team and expected the same to happen, but there were also a few other people who wanted the lead. I've taken that opportunity to let them. I'm now mainly coaching them and bothering with the team dynamics, without getting too distracted by stakeholder management. I now regularly have days where I'm pretty much fulltime coding! (And headspace to develop new initiatives outside the team; an unexpected benefit/distraction.)
So what is your hypothesis for why the text was redacted?

1) negligence? ("Oh, we didn't see the text was there")

2) the belief it was historical cruft of no importance (so why say it was still in effect?)

3) the belief it was a minor thorn that could be swept under the rug, but of no current impact

4) the belief it was a thorn with near-term impact on a pending case - and a case the redactionists likely knew about.

5) something else?

You seem to be saying that #2 is the most likely, so #4 should be dismissed.

My point was the relationship between the Passamaquoddy and Maine have changed since the 1800s - and certainly improved since the Carter era. Why continue with the redaction given that points 1-4 would seem to put a chill on that relationship?

Thats a rather incomplete business model description of banking.

There are at least three distinct elements and largely unrelated to core banking: payments infrastructure / gatekeeping the private/public monetary system, managing interest rate risk (which is what you describe) and managing credit risk.

Add to that countless "non-core" intermediation activities which nevertheless, depending on the type of bank can be major revenue sources.

Maximazing social utility is indeed the key question but how to do it in a sustainable and future proof way is hardly ever seriously asked.
