The problem is that nobody wants to acquire Dune to be a critical success. It needs to be a commercial success.

This of course implies the addition of much lazier exposition than The Wire, which IIRC never had more than about 4 million viewers. I'm sure it's different in the streaming era, but more and more, audiences are making it clear that they are definitely not tuning in to shows that require thought.

Great work! Had no trouble playing the game, and it's a well thought out concept.

I know you're invested in the 'perfect pitch' framing, since you mention that you have it in the family. Since it seems like your goal is to have this be a useful and accessible educational tool for those breaking into music, I would highly recommend pivoting this to have a strong focus on relative pitch, and specifically _intervals_, instead. Knowing how to distinguish intervals is both more accessible, and also much more useful for actually playing and creating music. As is, this tool clearly deprioritizes intervals with the fixed piano-key input and melodies in a key other than C. This will really only help one get better at this specific game.

If you haven't already, give Earmaster a try and see how they approach it - it's one of the most referenced and well-regarded training apps on the market. Earmaster, and others like it, start with a focus on relative intervals, then expand out from there to enhance instant recognition and memory of relative intervals across a melody - but the focus is almost never on absolute pitch 'across the piano'.

It's no coincidence then that your brain has a circuit to create backwards explanations for behavior that you didn't initiate, it helps create the illusion that you are a single animal, when in practice, you mostly aren't.
>GPT-4 was trained on text

And it shows. It has a poor grasp of reality. It does a poor job with complex tasks. It cannot be trusted with specialized tasks typically done by expert humans. It is certainly an amazing technical achievement that does a decent job with simple tasks requiring cursory knowledge, but that’s all it is at this time.

With multimodal abilities, I wonder if it could eventually check a raster of the SVG it created and then make iterative improvements that get a better result than vectorizing a raster from stable diffusion.

Even if they did, it doesn't really address the problem. In order to mount an effective impersonation attack, the attacker needs to either control the network or the DNS. In either case, they will generally be able to remove or change the CAA record; remember that DNSSEC deployment is comparatively rare and browsers do not verify DNSSEC in any case.

Among AI's many obvious dangers, perhaps the least disputable is the one that is drawn from humanity's collective experience integrating all of the tools that they have discovered hitherto -- as in, none of them were integrated at all.

The steam engine made hash of the civilizational moral imperative to work for one's living. Suddenly, instead of N people's labor being needed to support N people, 0.1N or 0.2N people's labor could support N people. What was there for the others to do? So all -- exactly all -- of the political debates of the long 19th and 20th Centuries (where politics is taken to include war) were based on the pretense that the steam engine had no such consequence.

Or how about radio? The invention of radio made it impossible to secure national boundaries. Ask any dictator (and every nation has one): if information can cross borders, then it does not even matter whether persons or money or goods also can. School's out, game's over. Do you want to seal your border? What (in principle) a fine idea! Just round up all radio-based technology and put it beyond use. But "all" means everywhere in the world, and in space.

Briefly, the human species has the rational capacity to invent toys for itself but absolutely no emotional capacity to think through or confront the consequences of possessing them or the implications of using them.

This is the doom of AI, just as it was and still is the doom of the printing press, the steam engine, radio, television, social media, etc., etc., etc.

It’s a cargo cult. Dune itself is pretty standard sci-fi. The sequels are where it goes from good to great. People deify the first one because they think that’s where the great reputation comes from, not understanding that the really interesting stuff is in the later books. I mean, the giant worm-man, the endless clones experiencing existential dread, and the trans stuff all come after book 2 and really after book 3.

That was my take too. There are a few points to specific people but not specific claims, or really how they're unlikely (this is all probabilities), just that they seem silly to the author.

> The hottest news in the Elixir community is that it is currently experimenting with set theoretic type / gradual typing. Some french PHD is working on it

To expand on it: you can read the proposal[0] or watch the video presentation by the author[1].

It is a very similar system to Typescript, with (at the first glance) only minor differences: "any" becomes "term", primitive constants are not singleton types (so you cannot write programs with type system alone... yet), and I expect some edge cases around generics will be handled differently (especially since you cannot specify types yourself in function calls, i.e there is no myFunction<MyType1, MyType2>()).

On the other side, there are some things that the proposal seems to be doing better than Typescript. It handles type assertions without the need for "function isX(maybeX): asserts maybeX is X { ... }" and since pattern matching plays important role in Elixir, I expect it will have a lot of polish around that.

Often an occupational therapist will be available through the health system [0] to help the patient adjust to their new circumstances.

To me, that’s the place to start because they are often familiar with bespoke technical solutions.

Also they are more likely to be around year round.

I’d put it this way, if your grandfather decides to learn braille in six months, the occupational therapist can help if they are involved to a degree you probably can’t.

They can also adjust a phone solution without family dynamics resisting complaints.

Good luck.

[0]: healthcare systems vary so I am being vague, but your grandfather is already navigating it.
"You could potentially shotcrete"

You could stop water draining through the retaining wall and turn it into a dam, which will not end well.

My back garden/yard has a 40m drop to a lawn. The levels are managed by dry stone walls. Soil here is heavy clay with really heavy clay sub soil, so efficient drainage is imperative.

As well as drystone walls, consider gabions which can form phenomenally tough retaining walls. You can plant on them too rather than having to weed drystone walls. Gabions are much more resistant to plants forcing joints apart than drystone walls.
We would use thick Styrofoam insulation (2-3) inches thick and would insulate the entire hive with it. In the winter we would feed them occasionally with warm honey/sugar. The Hives were also protected by a row of thick Evergreens as a wind break. Maybe lost one or two hives over a decade. If your not wrapping them and preparing them for winter than you shouldn't have bees.

> I wish we had more people like him and less AI doomer cultists.

There are many sources like him, often with even more detail and references. The problem is that these people are not famous and thus do not have as many followers and are less likely to make it into your feeds. Lots of grad students are in this region as they write to help increase their name and visibility due to the need to market one's self. Don't be afraid to look at those who are not from big name schools. Instead look for those that are willing to mention details and nuance. But this may be hard to accurately determine being on the outside, but that's the thing hype people take advantage of. I don't think they're malicious, but if you're the "smartest person in the room" it's easy to think you're the smartest person in many rooms and have a high confidence in bullshit. For example, we see such comments on places like Reddit and HN. I'm not sure if there's a good way to realistically filter out non-experts from experts (I don't think we should require credential checking). But experts are probably usually more boring as is reality to fantasy.

This post resonates with me as a radiologist with 40 years experience, and a son who founded and runs his own company centered around machine learning, and now, LLMs. I frequently hear about how "AI" is going to replace radiologists any day now, but I do not believe it, for some of the same reasons described by the author, though in a different context.

I recently wrote a post "Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Radiologists":

Nope. OpenAI has already demonstrated the ability to generalize GPT4 to a new modality. Your claim that text models can only generalize to images and not other modalities is utterly unconvincing. Explain to me why vision is so much different than say audio?

>> And it shows. It has a poor grasp of reality. It does a poor job with complex tasks.

GPT4 is a proof of concept more than anything. I’m excited to see how much reliability improves over time. It’s grasp of reality isn’t prefect, but at least it understands how burden of proof works.

When they were still flying, I worked on them at Beale AFB. You always knew when an SR was going to take off. About an hour prior, 2 KC-135Q's would take off like a bat out of hell. They would always use water injection and you could see their black smoke trails.

An hour later, you would hear a giant rumbling coming from the flight line. It would get louder and louder until it was all you could hear. As the SR shot off into the distance, you could slowly make out the din of all the car alarms on base.

They would sometimes need 4 tankers and they would shoot off in pairs. I was told they always had two tankers per fill up. They would grab some from one and then some more from the other.

Back in the 90's it was estimated that each SR flight had a cost of at least a million dollars with fuel costs, wages, etc.
Ok, I hope we can split the wheat from the chaff without haggle. I'm corrected, "Hypixel" is the name of a server, not a mod. So who was the guys that started Hypixel Studios and Hytale? Maintaining a server doesn't seem like the immediate precursor to starting a whole new game.

Before the era of quantum physics, the idea of a weapon like fission or fusion weapons would've been inconceivable without resorting to magical thinking.

Your argument, and Yann's, is that AGI, or what you call AGI, is a kind of quasi-intelligent golem that, despite being generally intelligent, doesn't have human-level intelligence. Your claim that it will never be human-equivalent, much less trans-human/ASI, is built into your worldview. It's not a conclusion. It's an assumption on your part.

People like you and Yann can believe that if you want, but you have no evidence, because nobody knows what's required for human-level intelligence. Nobody knows whether some kind of system involving neural nets could develop human-level intelligence or beyond. It could involve different architecture or training methods. There's no assumption by AI doomers that AGI will be achieved by a LLM with more parameters or more or better training data.

When you first run it, it shows a few example screens. Some of the later ones demonstrate how you hook into draw, update, events, etc. Basically you can't define love.draw, etc., but rather car.draw, car.update, etc., and Carousel will call those for you inside love.draw, etc.

Does 100% native feel really matter that much? How often do you encounter situation where you feel your experience is worse because UI/UX isn't same as native, even though the quality of UI/UX is equal to native (not worse in any way, just different)?

Sure, consistency and familiarity matter, but IMO it's not like every deviation destroys the experience. If that were the case, UI/UX of iOS should have stayed the same since v1.0.
