> I'm honestly not sure what the point of this paper is.

They state it clearly in the abstract I think: "we must develop effective ways to describe their behaviour in high-level terms without falling into the trap of anthropomorphism.", which seems pretty sensible to me.

But from this high point it is mostly downhill, with the chief problem being that despite them wanting to avoid "anthropomorphism" they are still obviously using boatloads of it everywhere:

> Role play is a useful framing for dialogue agents, allowing us to draw on the fund of folk psychological concepts we use to understand human behaviour—beliefs, desires, goals, ambitions, emotions and so on

Astonishingly, after listing this collection, explicitly labelled "human behaviours", they claim there's no risk of anthropomorphism! I guess they mean that it's not anthropomorphism if you are just declaring the thing to be an actual human...

Personally I think you'd be much better off seeking inspiration in the terminology of older fields that have dealt with objects pretending to be humans. For example, while I don't know much about theory of painting, I'm still pretty sure it doesn't try to discuss how people respond to a painting by hiding its author and upgrading the finished painting itself to an active agent with its own motivations...
This is actually the most interesting one to me, not because I prefer it but because I want to see what others think.

I've been told by quite a few Tailwind users that they much prefer it because it bring styling and markup into the same place. In their view markup and styling are so linked that splitting the code up is painful to follow and maintain. This onclick example follows the exact same argument, that the click handler is so tied to the markup that it should be inline.

> So if someone can sell you a diamond for X, it is worth X.

Note quite, when most people buy land the seller doesn’t receive the full amount you pay realtors get their cut of the transaction. Same deal with used cars etc, the transaction costs are removed from the sales price when calculating value.

Commercial Diamonds are just an unusually extreme case.

> I just don't get the distinction. A 'natural' tradition isn't somehow more wholesome, we've just forgotten who invented it. And the meaning still derives from the people partaking in that tradition.

The meaning of diamonds still derives from advertising which is the haven’t stopped because people stop caring when they do. This clearly demonstrates the artificial nature of what’s happening.

Nobody needs to advertise saying excuse me if you bump into someone in a crowd, that has been maintained culturally for a long time without outside influence.

Saying someone created it therefore it’s all the same is a meaningless statement. People create different things, saying someone created something doesn’t imply what that thing is.
Damn, you really are lost in "it's all about a cellphone" strawman you devised, eh?

This is about companies permanently tying hardware they "sell" into a permanent-loan with undefined terms, or otherwise change the terms of a sale long after the sale completed.

Apple is only one such company. All IoT companies do this. Tesla does this. Most car companies are starting this. John Deere does this.

And it's all about adding in uncontrollable computers to make a sale into a permanent rental, all without proper rental agreements.

But hey, lets get off topic and turn it into a simple Apple vs Android debacle, like you did. Again, you're at best short sighted and feeding into the arbitrary binary trope.
Thank you for this perspective. I despise when a website makes me pick by birthday in a typical date picker.

Maybe we are lacking vocabulary for these different types of date widgets. I've never heard anyone take about an historical date picker as a separate concept.

If you're pigheaded and clever enough to get through the masochistic torture is that their undergrad textbooks then you're probably pretty clever and so the prestige of the degrees is maintained.

I have been a on the mathematics faculty, including at some decent places, for almost 20 years. I have never met a single university mathematics teacher who thought this way. To the contrary, we are delighted when someone shows even a spark of interest or aptitude (hopefully both). Granted there are high bars for reaching professional competence, but that's intrinsic to the subject—and there is a welcoming place, in math probably more than in any physical science, for amateurs as well as professionals.

> As he observed, other departments will step in an do much better. The best linear algebra class I had was a graduate course in the electrical engineering department

It's worth noting that this isn't necessarily because EEs are better teachers—although of course in any particular case they might be—but because they can give you a course more focused on your interests. Math departments wind up teaching many courses populated largely, if not entirely, by non-math majors, and we cannot be discipline experts in every field of application in which students might be interested—nor, even if we were, could we simultaneously teach one course in a way that appealed simultaneously and particularly to the diverse applications needed by every student.
I've worked at companies doing $2B in profits that had multi-month arguments about $100k on-prem production server refreshes due to more customers doing more transactions.

And yet I've been at companies 80% smaller/poorer who didn't notice $60k development environment costs because they were blended into a gigantic AWS bill.

The incentives are very very bad.
This is tangential to the article and somewhat meta, but as I remember old video game cover art and ads (and seeing the pictures in the article), it occurred to me that we're finally at the point where (sometimes) the actual game looks as good as the cover art.

Not for uni but I was thinking similar. Find or create a playlist, have this tool transcribe it, feed all that into ChatGPT or similar, have to output a summary, either brief (i.e., highlights) or full depth & breadth of all the videos.
So do these collectors have the ability to play back these recordings? If so, could they at least make some recording (even if pointing a camera while playing back would be better than nothing) to send to the BBC.
Otherwise if they have no means to play it back, I fail to understand why they'd not want the opportunity to watch their collection!

Acorn's own first-party browser was "Browse". The documentation viewer that came preinstalled on the RiscPC/A7000 machines shared code with this, and that's about as close as one gets to having a "built-in" browser on RISC OS. There were a few others - the ANT Internet Suite had one ("Fresco"), as well as ArcWeb, Oregano, Webite and Webster/WebsterXL.

What the link is basically saying is that the authors considered none of these to be a good basis for further development, and that's why NetSurf was started.

Of the browsers I've listed, I don't recall any of them having source code available, but Browse may have been part of the RISC OS source code that was released. Most of the browsers were commercial, closed-source products.
Probably not the internet by itself, but the general broadening of education must be a factor.

Up until relatively recently, knowing, say, a couple of words in Latin or the definition of a polynomial was a sure sign of high-class education. Now that hoi polloi aren't as easily impressed, you would need a much greater depth to differentiate yourself that way.

But that's hard work. Much easier to shitpost on Instagram.

We are much more adaptive than that. Among all my computers keyboards at home I have 4 different shape of the enter key and among the 2 that have a similar ANSI shape they don't have nearly the same size.

You'll always have your favorite physical layout but muscle memory can also adapt. The same way I don't ride my mountain bikes the same way I ride my road bikes I am naturally and unconsciously adapting to the different keyboards based on how they feel to my hands.
I didn't follow too closely when watching the video, so pardon me if it's already answered in the video: did he end up hijacking a different button for opening multi-player dialog? I assume there is no way to recover the removed multi-play button since the sprite (?) was already removed?

Also I'm surprised not only they removed the multiplayer button, they even centered the remaining one.
See my other reply above, we are much more adaptive than that.
Yeah, I've read all of Pratchett in English, and read one or two in German and French.

The French version, much effort went into it, and it is very good indeed, but nowhere near the original.

Some attempts at translating Pratchett's humor fall rather flat or completely miss the point of the original puns.
Reasons to Prefer Blake3 over Sha256
Nearly every educator I've ever learned from has unconsciously insisted that learning material remain sterile, and never become as funny and opinionated as this essay. For most students, "learning" is outrageously boring until you get out of college (or into graduate school) and suddenly learn through essays and memoirs that what was presented to you for 12-16 years in a bone-dry format as established gospel truth was actually the life's work of sometimes dozens if not thousands of people, each of whom fought through their own careers, formed their own views on society, joked, married, divorced, died, squabbled, sniped, and felt immense passion for the subjects they ended up distilling into textbooks for us. Much of the information we learn as students was at the time of its discovery controversial in the extreme.

A few years ago I experienced a perfect example of this phenomenon in a glassblowing museum in Sandwich, Massachusetts. The museum takes visitors through the history of glassblowing in New England, mostly by static exhibits but also with live glassblowing demonstrations. At one point in the tour I read a placard that said something like "in 17XX, John Newenglishman invented a stamped glass method that allowed for much higher production rates of glass. The already-employed glassblowers resisted this development as it meant infringement on their industry." Then I looked up at the wall and read a quote from John Newenglishman that said something like "after demonstrating my stamped glass method, I hid in my room for weeks... gangs of blower-men hunted for me, no doubt to inform me by force their displeasure with my invention." I am paraphrasing in the extreme, but I was struck by how sanitized the placard was compared to the actual words of J.N. It reminded me of the history textbooks I used to read, which removed all of the flair and human-ness from the teaching of history.

If I could change one thing about modern education, I would somehow disabuse students of the notion that the development and archival of information has ever been "regimented" or "unbiased", and take great pains to expose them fully to the tremendous wit and wisdom of the past authors whose work they pore over. Anyway, great essay, saved.

(As a somewhat related point, I have also consistently found mathematicians and engineers to be much funnier than artists and authors, with the exception of artists and authors devoted to comedy. Somehow the tragic hilarity of writing math textbooks or working in a late stage engineering company never made its way into the material I was reading about math and engineering until I was out of my aerospace engineering degree by about three years.)
>A shitstorm ensued, the Church got shutdown-offended, and Galileo spent the rest of his life under house arrest. We’re so offended, we can’t even disagree, we shut shit down.

This is really bad history in a very relevant way to the topic. The Church wasn't really offended, they disagreed. The church in that case included most scientists at the time. This was because Galileo's theory didn't actually check out at all when he made the argument as it couldn't explain the observed sizes of most stars. This was because diffraction wasn't known yet as a principle. When he was challenged on this he basically wrote an entire tract that today would basically be considered a 'shitpost', where he insulted most scientists and church figures for pointing the problems with his theory out.

So it was actually Galileo who was offended, the Church who disagreed (and then was potentially also offended), and completely independent of this Galileo just happened to be right
Actually definitely in Germany. But with product placement a "supported by product placements" is enough afaik.
In Bosnia in the 80s, I read this novel which was amazing but confusing.

Decade later, I learned it was the middle third of the Original dune novel, starting literally in the middle of Harkonnen attack, as they ponder the ancient cannons without any mention of shields etc.

It was quite the trip :-)

I don't think it was hostile though. I think it had to do with this one guy / club doing the translating and needing both time to do the work, and money from first part to live through / finance the next part. I could be wrong, I was 10 at the time...

> I guess I agree with you (and others making the same argument) but feel like it is ultimately arguing that to support artists, you need to go outside Spotify, which to me implies something is broken about it.

Something is broken: the market for music.

People are not willing to spend a lot more for music (not digitally at least), so the economics of it are broken, there's a lot of content, done with passion, and any passion industry is bound to underpay because people will do it for non-monetary reasons like self-fulfillment, expression, etc.

This page expands on the differences in a few countries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burglary

Canada

> Breaking and entering is defined as breaking into a place with intent to commit another indictable offence

England & Wales

> A person is guilty of burglary if they enter any building or part of a building as a trespasser with intent to steal, inflict grievous bodily harm or do unlawful damage to the building or anything in it.

New Zealand

> burglary is a statute offence under section 231 of the Crimes Act 1961. Originally this was a codification of the common law offence, though from October 2004 the break element was removed from the definition and entry into the building (or ship), or a part of it, now only needed to be unauthorised.
> But I agree there should be a way to completely disable this, at least when using the line out jack, be it for headphones or an external audio system.

Haha, you're right. I meant speed bump. As a German I'm used to chaining words together.
My progress began when I stopped putting up with some jerk professors in my department and decided to just do what I wanted to do. The moment I stopped justifying the way they were treating me I realized just what an unhealthy dynamic I had put up with. Maybe I needed to get seriously offended in order to completely be done with that.

There is nuance to this.

It's not so much a habit of being deliberately arcane as, in my opinion at least, badly attempting to keep the sense of the sublime that engineering departments often lose touch with.

I went to a pretty shit physics department, but there were glimpses of beauty. The engineering department was more professional, better run, definitely more fun if you like the thrill of actually making something, but as engineers theory is just a means to an end, so I would've been bored on some fundamental level.

Aside:

As a (I suspect) dyslexia diagnosis in-waiting I am a sucker for really good, crisp typesetting. Old books often struggle with that (e.g. particularly curly non-latin characters are almost unreadable for me), but reasoning is timeless.

Landau & Lifshitz is old, ugly, a bit terrifying, and yet timelessly brilliant. Difficult, but in a physically challenging way rather than the more modern, Grecian-thinking, rigour-by-nomenclature style found in modernity.
That just show how people much prefer yelling at clouds than doing stuff.

I agree that some published proofs are not as clear as they're supposed to be, but I disagree that formalizing things in computer-based proof checkers is the way forward there. Computer proof checking is cool, but its an augment to what we already do and not not a substitute for it.

The purpose of a published paper is to explain things to other humans, while that of a computer formalization is to explain things to computers. Just as it is generally not easy for a computer to understand a published proof, it is usually not easy for other mathematicians to understand the code you feed to Lean or whatever.

The stuff you need to focus on to get a computer to accept your proof is usually quite different to the stuff you want to focus on when explaining things to colleagues. Roughly speaking we care about why you're doing things, while the computer cares about the intricacies of what you're doing.

@GP: most paywall are weak.

Anyway, reading a paper is quite difficult. Some results expresed like facts in the abstract or conclusions are not fully suported in the data. You should always read the full paper. For now, it's difficult for an AI to distinguish facts from bulshit.

(I remember a few physics paper that prove strange things, but when you reed the proof it has an aditional hypothesis in the middle of the proof. The hypothesis makes sense in the physics context, but in math all the hypothesis must be in the text of the theorem.)

I think at the end of the day you'll continue to think what you want, and that's your prerogative. Handling both cash and card is more expensive for a business, which is the main driver for businesses going cashless, not some government conspiracy to track you.

Obviously the dynamics of this will be per-country, and in a country like Germany which is predominantly cash-based my argument is not true, in a country like Sweden or a city like London it is. I expect this economic pressure to spread to more countries and cities unless there is a strong resistance to it.

An analogy HN might understand: Asking banks and payment processors to report on transactions is like when the UK government tried to get ISPs to store customer's browsing histories. It puts a big maintenance and security burden on the ISP, creating a chilling effect in the economy that no government wants. The type of information that can be recorded is limited because TLS traffic won't contain the individual paths the user visited, it'll just record the IP address being connected to, the time, and the amount of data. Transaction data is at this level of fidelity - you can know that party A transferred $X to party B, but the details of the purchase are not known. For that you'd need to request the transaction details from the individual company, which would have records but is only legally obligated to keep them for 6 years.

I'll leave you with the UK's Payment Markets Summary for 2022, which includes a forecast for 2031 - https://www.ukfinance.org.uk/system/files/2022-08/UKF%20Paym.... People are using these forms of payments because they're easier, faster, and empower them to keep track of their finances. There's a reason challenger banks have been successful - people want to be able to keep track of their spending, and that's really hard with cash.

Cash isn't going away in part because how else are MPs going to pay for cocaine and prostitutes, but I expect more and more businesses to not accept the cost of handling it, especially as it becomes a minority payment method.
