Deprecation shouldn't break peoples' code all of a sudden. Code should still work, and just get more annoying over time. Initially, spit out warnings that deprecation is going to happen. Then, start changing the user's desktop background. Then, start playing nice cat meowing sounds out of the speaker. Then, start playing ghastly wailing sounds out of the speaker. Then, start sending e-mails. Then, scan for IoT light bulbs and mess with the colors. Then, scan for bluetooth headsets within a 50 meter radius and play wailing noises out of those. Then, impose a 0.001 second delay. Then a 0.01 second delay. Then a 0.1 second delay. Then a 1.0 second delay. Then start scraping LinkedIn for engineer resumes and e-mail them to any sysadmin e-mails you can find in the various config files in /etc/ and /home/.

Don't suddenly deprecate stuff and break people's code on a moment's notice. Most likely the person who wrote the code using the deprecated function was laid off 2 years ago and the company still depends on it.
Brazil's stock market does/used to do something along these lines when US & Brazil changed their clocks in opposite direction, to keep the NY time hours of the Brazilian exchange from drifting as far. Given that we all also observed DST at the time, this made things even more complicated for systems.

Really interesting, I've been playing with it trying to do similar things (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38316108). I think there is potential for a lot of interesting experiments here that don't really require more advanced models.
> Nah, I've been waiting for this since Adobe released Content Aware Fill over a decade ago.

If you were expecting Photoshop, an image manipulator, to produce a website, which is a mixture of HTML (text) and images, on the basis of a combination of a prompt and an example image… then you were more disconnected from the state of AI research at that time than you're accusing me of being now.

> We are destroying the biosphere quickly. Have you seen a reef lately? Globally we still rely on our biosphere for food. We haven't solved this problem. If we can't feed everyone it's not inhabitable.

There are many known solutions, both to the destruction and the pollution, and indeed to feeding people in closed systems. All we have to do for any of these is… implement them.

>> lots of people out there get benefits from the things that cause all the various kinds of pollution

> Hence we need lots of breakthroughs to replace these old technologies, whether they be fishing or cancer treatments.

The "breakthroughs" are in the past, we've already got them — we just need to do them.

>> AI can easily follow the scientific method,

> It can't interact with the world so it can't perform science.

Can too, so you're wrong. In fact, most science these days involves tools that are controlled by computers, so it would be less wrong (but still a bit wrong) to say that humans can't do science.

> Boston Dynamics has teams of human beings making robots, which are largely preprogrammed.

Irrelevant.

Also, do actually follow that link I gave you before: https://github.com/GT-RIPL/Awesome-LLM-Robotics

> Making stuff in real life is really hard even with humans.

Most of the problems with manufacturing these days are specifically the human part of it. Computer memory used to be hand-knitted, we don't do that for modern computers and for good reason.

> We are so far away from needing to worry about this sort of AI safety. I mean, we haven't solved robotic fabric handling yet, it's why we still have sweatshops sewing our clothes.

Simultaneously irrelevant (lots of research doesn't involve fabric handling), and false.

So incredibly and wildly false that when I searched for examples, I got a page of sponsored adverts for different fabric handling robots before the content.

Here's the first non-sponsored search result, a corporate video from a year ago, so unlikely to be state-of-the-art today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JjUnKpsJRM (They're specifically about re-shoring sewing away from sweatshops).
>I may be missing something here, but I don't really follow this logic.

Isn't the logic that throwing an error on naive timestamps would break existing code?
Fellow Inconsolata fan here. I have to say this is probably the first time I'm considering switching and maybe even paying.
Ilya is not a champion of open source: "We were wrong. Flat out, we were wrong. If you believe, as we do, that at some point, AI — AGI — is going to be extremely, unbelievably potent, then it just does not make sense to open-source. It is a bad idea... I fully expect that in a few years it’s going to be completely obvious to everyone that open-sourcing AI is just not wise."

"There's a shortage of $30k Lamborghinis!"
this kind of reckless disregard for whether what you are saying is true or not is a kind of lie that is, if anything, even more corrosive than lies by people who know the truth; at least they have a plan in mind to achieve a goal of some benefit to someone
It's not a computer game, but Car Wars up to version 4.

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13354/car-wars-compendiu...

Players spend some "homework" time designing vehicles, then they test them in turn-based combat, then it's back to the drawing board to revamp designs. For every hour of combat play, it's probably at least one hour of design time, tweaking designs within constraints . . .

Starting with version 5, they started dumbing down the rules and focusing more on faster combat and moving around larger toy cars instead of designing anything. Because who wants to play a geeky engineering game, anyway? (me)
I think a lot of people, many in the West with comfortable jobs, find it uncomfortable to admit that a lot of their lifestyle and maybe even their salary, depends somewhere down the supply chain on coercion (or at the very least, huge worker-employer power imbalances that look a lot like coercion) to make it all happen. We don't need to be able to rattle off a viable alternative, in order to express that there's something wrong.

I don't know if a job or product exists that, somewhere down the value chain totem pole, doesn't at some point rely on employers exploiting the threat of poverty to collect value from people.
Keep out the immigrants. Stop any and all attempts at building affordable housing. Make it untenable for younger generations to have children. Saddle anyone capable of going to college with $100k in debt.

...when you sort by "Rate", Germany is at spot 161, Hungary at 164, and Sweden at 144 (and for comparison's sake and because it's kinda interesting/surprising: Russia and the US are also identical at spot 52 and 53). So even when taking knife killings into account the argument doesn't make sense, Germany is much closer (actually pretty much identical) to "poster child" Hungary than Sweden.
That chart is using data from 2021, while the gang crisis in Sweden began escalating in 2022.
He’s a rescue, so who knows, but he’s definitely maine coon adjacent.
Depends what you are trying to build. If you are building a complicated app that requires lots of states and you want it in the form of a SPA. Sure might be a bad fit.

Lots of use cases could benefit from a hypermedia flow.
Currently, it’s very unclear who operates under what motives. How much is it about ego? How much is it about money and how much is it due to intellectual positions? Maybe there’re are no heroes and maybe there’re no antiheroes? With the recent news about other investments and deals, the facade doesn’t seem to even resemble the OpenAI’s reality.

I can’t wait to read the autobiography of involved parties.
> You are "free" to take all the PTO you want, as long as your boss feels it is the appropriate amount, but they won't tell you up front how much is appropriate.

In a previous job I asked my manager if 6 weeks was reasonably in his mind. He said yes. I never had any issues taking time off in that job, and averaged 6+ weeks. I suppose it's true, he didn't establish a clear upper bound, but I doubt there was one. A "reasonable" upper bound could no doubt vary based on the situation.

It's definitely a good idea to establish a common ground up-front about what's reasonable, but I've never had any issues doing so.
good thinking but irrelevant to the question at hand
I take as few taxis as possible, so no.
Robbed bit signaling was (is) used to encode signaling information on a digital circuit (typically a T1 in North America) without a dedicated signaling channel.
There were a variety of multiplexing systems to get more than a single line on a copper pair, but they didn't have anything to do with robbed bit signaling.
The right campaigned on their tough on gangs stance. They made it the main topic of debate in the run up to the election, and filled all the interviews with it. They talked about nothing else. They scared the public into voting for them to solve the problem.
To whatever extent this article is true suggests that the way to convince people of certain positions is to hook them via peripheral route, but then keep them there via the central route.

If the position is such that any central route reasoning would lead to a rejection of the position, than the next best option is to overwhelm the critical faculties with peripheral route persuasion

My guess is it’s hard to say exactly who has the power and where the power comes from. I bet Sam and his side don’t have any direct power, but their power in the negotiation comes from other sources, like the ability of more Sam loyalists to resign, and Microsoft legal threats which don’t have to be legitimate to be effective since they have such powerful lawyers. So on paper the board has all the power, but that doesn’t necessarily translate to the real world.
I’ve watched this story grow over the last decades or so.

I'm not sure about this. I think it easily met the threshold for "pays enough" in an absolute sense, but so often the whole sentiment of "pays enough for what they're asking from me" goes unsaid. And sometimes people value whatever personal thing they might be giving up (like being able to live with their loved ones) more than even a very large amount of money.
You're right, but he's talking about states where tipped employees receive the same minimum wage, paid by the employer, as anyone else plus tips. See my comment / question about how this works out in practice.

[Edited because I find the terminology of "tipped minimum" confusing.]
That, and hiding system and hidden files.
It imposes a cost on others when when you makes false claims like I said or felt the question was unreasonable.

I didn't and don't.

It is a hard question to understand and an interesting mind-bender to answer.

Less policing of the metacontext and more focusing on the discussion at hand will help ensure there's interlocutors around to, at the very least, continue policing.
Built-in Pydantic validation is nice, I wouldn't call it bloat.
Or the country of origin isn't deemed "safe" for return -> laws don't allow people to be returned to unsafe countries.
Hm. We do have those same violent crime rates, but it is clearly linked to the drug trade.

> You haven't gone to Brussels I suppose... Especially Molenbeek or Station Zuid.

I go to Brussels at least once a year.

Again with the obliqueness: is there something specific you want to say? Is the implication that your national police force is suppressing the "real" murder rate?

What will they be replicating once humans are obsolete?

You're absolutely right that it should be, but the problem is that it isn't – Python treats these as belonging to the local time zone.
I've been predicting a rise in numbers of 'good gangs' in the west for years now. Of course it must start with a rise in bad gangs first. I believe we're heading towards anarchy. The law just doesn't serve the majority anymore.

Have you considered contributing to open-source projects? Some like Firefox have mentoring programs (https://codetribute.mozilla.org/). Very good for the resume.
Thoughtful analysis of dynamics in play at OpenAI that may have led to his firing and likely will result in his reinstatement.

Key take-aways (excerpts from article):

"The board made a blunder. OpenAI’s employees will likely get their CEO back by Monday, and Satya Nadella’s 10 billion dollars in Azure credits will have some vote in the future of OpenAI.

What’s clear is that the board is grossly mismanaged. A non-profit board should not be running a critically important company like OpenAI. Just look at the turnover and lack of transparency on re-election.

I think that Ilya [Sutskever] will leave OpenAI when Sam is reinstated. He has to be the player who initiated the power play. The entire current board will leave, and a new board with fewer AI safety people (sadly) will be reinstated.

I would not be surprised to see the OpenAI charity and capped-profit structure flipped, with a formal board at the GP that becomes the real locus of power.

The boardroom move was amateur and sudden. And as much as boards have technical legal power, so do the organizations they rule. It’s all a construct, and the people of OpenAI will get their way. And hopefully, a better governance structure.

I believe that the longer-term problem of safe AI is important, but you don’t do that with sudden shakeups of the founder and an exodus of half of the employees.

OpenAI has been doing something special for a long time, beating the likes of better-funded research organizations like Google or Microsoft. It’s probably in everyone’s best interest to keep the team together. "
Östermalm is the most bourgeois area in central Stockholm. It’s the kind of place where the weekly supermarket offers are for lobster and caviar instead of chicken breast or potatoes. Certainly not dangerous by any standard. Must’ve been a joke that went over op’s head or a misunderstanding.
Yeah, the larger symptom is there is less money to go around after buying necessities. Inflation stings twice, cost savings on necessities will include shifting purchases from less-efficient local businesses to more-efficient global mega corps. And the slice of income that goes to desires will shrink which also reduces spend on local businesses.

So the local businesses get hurt from both ends. Their costs of inputs also rise, and the demand for the services decrease. The only businesses who can keep or lower prices and also pay more for labor are one's that have large profit margins.

And then even if there's enough profit margin to survive the hair cut, that may lead to a situation where the business owner's time and effort could be better spent on other opportunities. So even profitable businesses may close if the owner thinks they could do better.
The other question is what happens to the pretense of "safety". The CEO explicitly said multiple times that he does not have unilateral control, that he is subordinate to the board and that the board's job was to remove him if it he was pursuing an unsafe course. Assuming he gets re-instated that would all be shown to be false.

This applies equally to phonograph recordings. The only real virtue of LP vinyl is that it largely prohibits loudness war nonsense.
One edge case to this is I've worked on financial systems where we kept the Asian market systems in JST, while EU/MENA/Americas ran on UTC. As long as you aren't dealing with FX/Futures, markets are generally open no earlier than 7am and no later than 6pm. This worked nicely since it meant that the DATE in each regions system&local clocks agreed.

I wish that there was a separate list/category of games involving coding (block or actual).

One game that I really got into for a bit was Autonauts [1], but ended up falling a bit short of what I was really looking for (due to very awkward UI and controls).

But would really love to see more games with automation (like Factorio) but where the automation was coded. Or tower defense/RTS games (like Mindustry) or simulation (like Rimworld) where you could automate the AI.

I see some games involving coding, but mostly look like hacking games, which I think are more puzzle games, vs. sandbox.

Like I said, Autonauts would have been this, but it’s just too awkward, and not quite as deep as I was hoping.

I was excited this was such a list, until I realized it wasn’t software engineering.

(My very first experience with something close to this was FFXII, which I loved, but fell flat for many because they didn’t want to automate the battles, which was my favorite part!)

He's opposed to making powerful models open source, unfortunately.
I suspect you haven't even begun to think your comment out.

The idea that someone who does not presumably know the language, culture, or even where all the landmarks of a city/nation are suddenly start running organized crime is deeply mistaken and does not even track with the most well-known syndicates such as the mafia (1920s in NY compared to 1880s enmasse arrival of Italians) or cartels ("homegrown").

Look deeper and you would see these syndicates grew because there were purposefully and one might argued, promoted by semi-facist types or those who would get "cancelled" today, preventing reasonable opportunities from being provided to these populations.

Even moreso, you might see that much of our economy depends on deeply underpaid labor continuously running agriculture and service sectors and now I would argue even tech, with the danger of being deported or not getting a visa hanging over their actions.
In .D(e) SPAR is dead. What can be seen labeled as SPAR, or Spar-Express, 'to go', or whatever, is operated by Edeka and is indeed catering to so called 'captive audiences' in airports, railway-/subway-/metro stations, little kiosks on platforms, gas-/fuel stations, and some larger locations in some downtowns, whose independent owners couldn't be bothered to 'reflag/relabel'. With the exception of the latter, they all have one thing in common: huge prices for common crap.
So what solution do you propose if no country takes these people back? Hopefully at some point conservatives will understand that you cannot make these people simply disappear.
That does not seem to be true. The most recent good data seems to be from 2019[0] and shows Germany with 0.34 stabbing deaths per 100k people, one of the lowest in the world, and lower than Sweden (0.35) and Hungary (0.41).

This response is actually quite illustrative of the stochastic nature of LLMs. Under normal circumstances a human would never make this kind of error.

The system remains coherent long enough to produce the right answer, yet it still confidentially selects the wrong answer because it only understands the question as a function of statistical relationships between tokens, unlike humans who would understand the question at a conceptual level.
Check out the history of art, Renaissance stuff.

These artists, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc. all had small armies of folks working for them. Apprentices, workers, etc. Much of the magic of making art at the time was in sourcing, mixing and making the pigments, and other raw materials. So much work went into making a painting before the artists brush touched the substrate. It's not like today when you walk down to an art supply store and buy paint. You had to sail to the ends of the earth, make pigments, etc.

Music is similar. Go to the opera or symphony or live music of any kind. There is dozens, sometimes hundreds of people who have been practicing and working their whole lives at their piece of the puzzle. More than even the musicians, there are thr riggers, lighting and effects professionals, etc. It takes a small army of professionals to deliver a modern stage show.

Even a lone violin player playing a stratavarious. So much has gone into the creation, preservation and understanding of the instrument, how to play it, the composer of the piece, and finally the musician.

Art isn't simple, or easy.

There are also lots of famous examples of one person (or close) films. They are not necessarily more complex or involved than any other art form, although often are, it's not necessarily the case.
> If you like a SaaS product you should hope their business model is aligned for durability exclusive of burning VC cash in my view.

Sure, but that doesn't make their actions not bait[ing you with a low price and lots of features] and switch[ing plans to remove some of those features and raise the price].

It's still a bait-and-switch move, IMO. You might choose to tolerate or accept it in the interests of the company being sustainable, making it a "bait and switch that you're OK with".
I feel like it's kind of unfair to put Factorio's release date as 2020. Yes, that's what Steam says, and that's it's 1.0 release date. But Satisfactory is listed as 2020, and that is still in early access. So maybe note on the list when a game is still in early access?
This is a story about how a yet another state is failing to provide security, so private actors - gangs - are filling the role the state is not. Yet instead of blaming the security monopoly for the lack of security, the interviewees are blaming the gang members for “not integrating”. To be fair to the state, As migration flows increase alongside technological radicalization, states are increasingly struggling to fill their traditional roles. People should prepare themselves.
