I think the problem that GP is getting at is the philosophical problem of apocalypticism or market perma-bears, which can be summed up in this satire of them: "So and so is a great market analyst! He's predicted 30 of the last 2 market crashes!" A broken clock can still be right twice a day, but it's still a broken clock. Predictions about the future which are so broad so as to be hopelessly incorrect should not be excused because part of the prediction surface ended up being correct; rather, the entirety of the prediction surface and accuracy should be taken into account to determine the overall accuracy of the prediction.

Taken in that light, his being correct about his protein folding prediction feels like cold comfort when taken in context of his predictions, largely unsubstantiated, of AGI becoming a malevolent human extinction force at par with or of greater risk than that atomic bomb. It elides the very real conceptual limitations of current implementations of AI, such as it's inability to recognizing bidirectional associations (Tom is John's son means John is Tom's father), protecting against injection risks, "hallucinations" (inability to differentiate between when it is making something up and when it is not) and a variety of other existential limits towards its own power.

These details, far from being inconvenient nuances that do not detract from his overall point, should actually serve to make us seriously skeptical of how well he understands the risks of the entity he is warning against. A more skeptical observer might even say (and I'm one of them) that much like fire and brimstone preachers, he is trying to create an unrealistic fear of a deific entity that cannot be reasoned against so that he can consolidate power by serving a "solution" that protects against it and curry popular favor. I find his approach to be the distasteful and manipulative approach of the common demagogue. The haughty, arrogant, insecure way that he treats the arguments of his critics (he simply blocks them on Twitter or condescends to them) make me even more skeptical of him. It makes me wonder if on some level he knows that his argument is not being made in good faith, and isn't trying to win an argument in good faith.

We have 22 chickens (various ages). In the summer, we get 18 eggs a day.

Then real world is not so neat and easily described. I'm sure theres simple formulas to describe the shape of most eggs, but I've seen things that were not simple.

Occasionally there will be an egg with an indented ring. Sometimes they will be asymmetrical in both axes. We're pretty sure its one of the older chickens will drop eggs with incomplete shells; where does that fit in the mathematicians' world?

"We can ignore these statistical outliers, this is pure math!" ... Great and wonderful until you bring the math back to the real world, and it fails to work for those cases excluded from consideration in the theoretical stage.

My whole rant is irrelevant until someday, someone is trying to figure out why their egg collector robot keeps smashing 3% of the yield.

I agree that creating something akin to an organic being exceeds capabilities at present. But to be fair we never tried to build a bird, instead we tried to build a machine to fly and we excelled.

However I concur that we may end up creating an AI which thinks nothing like us, has no sense of morality, and yet far exceeds us in intelligence. And that would be somewhat unsettling.

if it couldn’t take a prompt about the picture and its response and the mirror test, and lead that into discussion of the mirror test, well, it would be a shit language model.

but would the model have passed the test without having been taken quite so lovingly by the hand?

> you get boards that are gridlocked and paralyzed by indecision due to having basically hundreds or thousands or even tens of thousands of "bosses" who are all screaming different things

Often that's exactly what prevents bad ideas and gives a chance for good ideas to flourish. The actual strength of democracy is not that it allows to make more decisions, but that it prevents making decisions unless they seem good to a lot of "bosses". At least that's how it works in multi-party democracies. Systems of governance that concentrate a lot of power in single hand may have a good run from time to time when the supreme leader accidentally has a good idea and can move fast with it, but they fail miserably over the long term because they have no safeguard against bad decisions which are way more frequent.

There's nothing unique about capital and its derived power that suddenly makes concentrating it in one hand any less harmful then it is with armies, countries and nations.

Doing nothing is the best course of action more often than any other sort of action. Economy loves stability so it can stably grow. Some amount of disruption is necessary for the development but it's really hard to tell if the billionaires capital reinforces or suppresses the right kind of disruption.
Such structures exist, i.e. worker owned co-ops. They're obviously just not the norm under capitalist systems.
It's frustrating how people only take the capitalist / startup founder point of view when evaluating open source. It's like people can't grasp the idea that somebody could be pursuing a project without having the greatest possible user base / profit as their primary goal.

I recommend this book to anyone starting CS and wondering "why do I have to learn all this stuff?" "What good is data structures and algorithms?"

Read from a certain perspective, TAOCP is less a book about how to do things better (the focus of many CS courses), and more about "wow, who would have imagined ...". I think CS students might find their curricula more engaging if, rather than having a set of concepts to master, there were actually interesting puzzles to solve. Thus, I suggest reading TAOCP not as a text book, but more as a novel. Take a look at the parts that interest you (how many ways of sorting 10 numbers can you think of just using paper and pencil?). CS is a lot easier to learn as a process of surprising discovery, than as a set of barriers that must be overcome.
> something's not adding up here

One factor might be that reproduction rate ­≠ survival rate, i.e., not all of the ticks born will reproduce. For example, it usually takes several growth stages for ticks to reach fertility, where each of these phases require a blood meal. So if they don’t find a suitable host in time, they starve to death. Or they are eaten themselves by another predator, etc.

Its a problem of metrics, if you look at the conditions of the middle third of the population, then historically less migration is better as a rule. If you look at GDP then it's more muddy.

As an example the Australian immigration restriction act created some of the best conditions for workers, due to a high value of labour leading to high wages, increased negotiation power, and investment in labour saving innovation.

It was good for the nation and individual workers, but to use terminology familiar here, a single generation decided to enshitify the country and cash in, extracting all the present and future value of existing institutions.

Part of this is a massive propaganda campaign to try and convince you that every measure to restrict migration is racist or misguided... However migration is the most important and significant policy for a long term outcomes in a nation, we have millenia of history to show this.

Haven't read through the article yet, but as a Rust eng... I sort of agree, but ... I mean, pointer & raw memory related work is deliberately kneecapped in the name of safety, the language wants you to really think about what you're doing.

But yep portable SIMD in Rust is still not a good story, compared to C++. And getting down to raw byte regions, pointer & buffer manipulation, etc requires becoming comfortable with Pin, MaybeUninit, etc. Both portable simd and allocator_api have been sitting unstable for years. And the barrier to entry is a bit higher, and it's more awkward ... mostly on purpose

But there's nothing stopping one from building one's own abstractions (or using 3rd party crates etc) to make these things more ergonomic within one's own program?

That is impressive! It does look like a textbook question so I wouldn’t be surprised if a formulation almost identical to this is in the training data. But the ability to parse the “mathiness” is still impressive.

Higher level math becomes pretty verbose so enters the domain of language more so than pure symbolic computation. However there is still complex reasoning under the hood. Gpt-4 in ChatGPT flounders when I ask it questions from my thesis, so I’m not sure how it will do with problems it hasn’t seen, where it needs to apply “new” reasoning.

I’d love to know if in your example, GPT is reciting something it’s seem verbatim, or if it is taking multiple sources and combing them.

> Apart from the economic problems that this might cause, it is simply not possible due to EU legislation.

It is possible. Don't give them money and only provide basic shelter. Do you wonder why the migrants don't stay in Eastern Europe? Because here we offer accomodation in tents. There isn't enough social housing for citizens (largely Roma), let alone migrants.

We have friends and neighbours from Germany who want retire early and to move back to Eastern Europe because they are unhappy with the federal government taxing them nearly ~500€ in order to house and feed migrants. These neighbours are working class people of retirement age, who left to Germany during the communist regime, leaving everything behind. There they were housed in a Lager common social housing with shared toilets and showers and they had to work to support themselves. Now they see how migrants are treated and view them as freeloaders. The fact that they're muslim and also cause problems doesn't help either.

So I'm not at all surprised the Dutch voted with Wilders.
The real lesson here is that sometimes building the correct interface calls for one to build an entirely new grammar to better express the task at hand.

Languages like Lisp make this easy. Ruby a little less so. C-type languages way less so!

DSLs in Java, C or JavaScript are so atrociously ugly and illegible that it almost defeats the purpose of a custom grammar, IMO.

C actually wins the family DSL award because it has a preprocessor with macros, a foot gun if I ever saw one!

My pet theory is that LLMs will soon be competent enough to build the tools for a little language without much hassle, allowing for software to better express the task at hand.

Look at it this way: every hour, people are coming across C++ for the first time. You can’t expect them to have the same discipline as seasoned programmers. The thing is that even if you teach them “the way”, there’s always a new batch who is clueless. You’re never going to get rid of them, and even the experts are going to make mistakes and take shortcuts.

Better to have sane strict defaults with an escape hatch for experts rather than an open range filled with footguns for any newbie to pick up.
