It hardly matters who's legally right and who's wrong here. The fact is, HP was once a class act. I wish I could find the writeup about the early HP35 calculator bug, where it was suggested that they just sweep it under the rug, and either Hewlett or Packard himself said no, we're going to do the right thing and fix every calculator we've shipped, period. That same boss would have said, it was our mistake, so we're going to honour the offer. A few hundred thousand bucks down the drain, but stellar reputation maintained.

It takes a long time, and makes a lot of profit, to run such a reputable brand into the ground. By the look of it, the process is nearly complete.

Practical Turing tests.

Edit:

Here's the justification your paper uses to suggest the idea that Turing meant for the possibility of silence as a response:

> In one interpretation of Turing’s test the female is expected to tell the truth, but we are not far off that time when silence was preferred to the “jabbering” of women, because “speech was the monopoly of man” and that “sounds made by birds were part of a conversation at least as intelligible and intelligent as the confusion of tongues arising at a fashionable lady’s reception”.

Additionally, your cited paper there even admits this is a theoretical extension of The Imitation Game:

> In its standard form, Turing’s imitation game is described as an experiment that can be practicalized in two different ways
(see Figure 1) (Shah, 2011):

1) one-interrogator-one hidden interlocutor (Figure 1a),
2) one-interrogator-two hidden interlocutors (Figure 1b).

> In both cases the machine must provide “satisfactory” and “sustained” answers to any questions put to it by the human interrogator (Turing, 1950: p.447). However, what about in the theoretical case when the machine takes the 5th amendment: “No person shall be held to answer”?1 Would we grant “fair play to the machines”?

To repeat in case you missed it when you clearly and definitely read your own citation: "In both cases the machine must provide “satisfactory” and “sustained” answers to any questions put to it by the human interrogator (Turing, 1950: p.447)."

> I don't think the Turing Test is teaching us anything about AI system capabilities.

Sure, it is.

A system only really passes the Turing test (you might call this the "focused Turing test") to the degree it passes the regular Turing test when taken by people whose experience of AI systems matches the system being evaluated.

That is, when someone who has experience with humans and that kind of AI system. who knows specifically that they are looking to distinguish humans from that kind of AI system, still cannot do so better than chance.

Anything else and the system can be distinguished by humans from human interactions, even it gets by because human expectations for the particular tests are primed in a way which has them looking the wrong way.

If you've already set up your zsh as you like it, I don't think there's a huge amount of benefit. The big benefit of fish is that it's pretty much the ideal shell, but straight out of the box, without configuration. Autocomplete just works, navigating the history is easy, it completes commands from your history, choosing a shell prompt can be as simple as opening a browser, etc. You can customise it pretty much as deeply as you need to - just like zsh - but the defaults are good enough that you've got a really nice shell out of the box.

On a computer, I'd paste in a corpus of some sort as a regular ChatGPT message - just because it's easier to accumulate a big string.

I had to read the book a couple of times before I completely understood this, but I'm pretty sure there's an implicit metaphor that ties the two plots together, and it's about the feedback between technological progress and intelligence, and how physical constraints (or accidents of evolution) limit progress.

Yeah maybe that’s why women live longer in order to help with the exhausting process of raising their grandchildren [1].

We love to take care of babies, regardless of (or maybe because of) how clingy and dependent they are.

From an Evolutionary point of view, This relationship between needy babies and abnegated caregivers might have given rise to a complementary schimogenesis according to Gregory Bateson, in which babies might have evolved to be more and more dependent, because having more and more invested caregivers produces fitter offspring.

Parenthood is a self-inflicted sabotage and I cannot understand how come there are so many parents bearing children worldwide.

These were only true of pulseaudio in the early days of it. They are solved for good, by “simply” fixing the most common drivers. But in general, it couldn’t have been solved any other way.
A simpler setup (if it's supported, I have a USB-C one but haven't tried) would be to use an USB-to-go Ethernet adapter and share the phone's internet connection via a router's WAN port. Then any regular hardware router or OpenWrt could be used in a normal way.
Status-seeking is the reason folks focus on professional running, or professional chess, or any of these very hardcore, very difficult endeavors that have no practical purpose.

> Have you ever had a build fail because of a network error on some third-party server? Commit your dependencies and that will never happen.

And here is the true root of the problem - people use build systems as if they were package managers.

Use a real package manager (and install your dependencies before the build) and suddenly it is clear why dependencies do not, in fact, belong in version control.

Arguably nothing.

It would be a reasonable point, if it were backed up by hard numbers.

Linux and Windows both offer C++ as a first-class option for graphical desktop applications. They also both offer first-class safe alternatives. Windows has .Net. Linux has, say, Python bindings for Qt and for GTK.

It could be that Linux desktop applications are more often written in unsafe languages, but it's not self-evident.
So, when you search for "foo" in mydir/, rg can find the term foo inside different places in a number of files, and then print the results like:

mydir/myfile.java
15: return foo;
78: System.out.println(foo);
123: // TODO: change foo to bar

Hyperlink support means that the line numbers (15, 78, 123) are clickable, and will open your favorite editor to that file and that line number.

That's if your terminal supports hyperlinks, or has hyperlink support enabled - most do. Depending on the terminal app it might be control/cmd click, or option-click to open the hyperlink.

Note (this got me while trying): hyperlinks are not emitted when you search inside a specific file directly, e.g. "rg foo myfile.py".
The current directory is a long-standing Unix concept, so you'd have to trace its history back quite far to hear arguments about why it was there. One obvious reason is that relative paths are convenient for all sorts of reasons and they require a point to be relative to, which is basically 'the current directory' in some form.

The kernel knowing the name for the current directory is not specific to current directories; it is part of a general system of caching the name mappings for directory entries ('dnodes' in Linux, a 'name cache' in FreeBSD). Unix kernels added these caches because Unix programs spend a lot of time looking up names, making the operation worth optimizing in general. Once you have a general name cache, you might as well pin the entries for actively used entities like current directories and open files so that they don't get expired out of the cache and you always know (some) name for them.

(One useful complexity of name caches is that you can cache negative entries, ie that a given name is not present in a directory. In the modern Unix shared library environment where shared libraries may be probed for in a whole collection of directories every time a program starts up, I suspect this saves a nice chunk of kernel CPU time.)
This wouldn’t be a problem if the default in VCS systems was to use something like S3 blob storage by default for large binary files. Just store the torrent-like Merkle tree hash in the VCS database.

Pipewire fixed my longstanding trouble with getting Bluetooth headphones to connect, same kernel/drivers under which pulseaudio was hopeless. I spent an hour power cycling my headphones and turning bluetooth on and off, restarting pulseaudio, fucking around with bluetoothctl, with the headphones connecting to bluetooth but not getting listed in pulseaudio... The usual nonsense except this final time my frustration overcame the activation energy to try something completely new so I installed Pipewire. It immediately worked and hasn't broken since.

Basically what I'm saying is that pulseaudio has serious issues even with new "fixed" drivers and distros switching to Pipewire is making the situation much better for many users.

I don't even know where to start explaining what a giant disaster the entire WestConnext project has been for Sydney. There was an enormous amount of controversy surrounding the planning of the WestConnext project, with many allegations of corruption made against the state government. One of the most concerning developments was the state government 'amalgamating' the local councils who disagreed to the construction of this monstrosity. Effectively sacking the local mayors who were causing trouble for the developers. After getting this big mess approved, the then state premier Mike Baird resigned to take part in what has become a great Australian political tradition: Resigning from political office amidst corruption allegations to take up executive positions in highly regulated industries.

> No markets in a civilized society are truly free. So I don’t think it’s very meaningful to point this out.

I disagree. My comment was in direct response to the GP's comment of:

> It's strange when businesspeople seem to expect that their business has a right to exist beyond profitability in the market place.

When the "marketplace" is dictated by government policy, it's fair to question the effects of policy. You cannot handwaved it away with claims of some hand of God marketplace that no one has the ability to influence.

> What about government regulations is wrong here

I specifically stated I was not making claims of whether this result was good or bad.

> and why would this result in soulless chain stores?

You ask this, and then go on to say:

> Aren’t soulless chains the default resting state of a mature economic sector?

Clearly, the operating environment results in this sort of thing. The environment is influenced by government.

Soulless chains need not be the default resting state. For instance, a government could introduce a prgressive company tax rate, or rules (like limits on number of liquor licenses a Corp can own), making it easier for small businesses to compete.

Now, I will make a value judgement: soulless chains, and massive businesses are not good for society for many reasons. I would much rather live in a world of many competing small businesses, than a homogeneous pastiche of mediocrity.
This is anecdotal but the smartest people I know also seem to have the best memories of the people I know, maybe those things are related or it's just a coincidence in my circles.

But it wouldn't surprise me that a good memory can make you a lot more capable at other tasks.

The 737 MAX was not a "crude mistake". The failure mode was a multiple independent root cause sequence of low probability events. If I remember correctly there were about 200,000 flights before it was grounded after two airframe losses which is a failure rate of 1 in 100,000 flights, 5 9s, which, when accounting for the average flight distance, is about as dangerous as driving per passenger-km.

People downplay it as a "crude mistake" to claim that the people at Boeing are idiots who could have avoided the problem if they just applied average techniques and common sense. No, preventing these types of problems requires extremely sophisticated safety engineering the likes of which no other industry even attempts. Other industries have dreams about making systems as safe as cars; in aerospace they have nightmares about making systems that are only as safe as cars.

The Boeing 737 MAX was a disaster because they made a plane around 100x-1000x more dangerous than average. It is unacceptable to have such a massive safety regression. But claiming it was a "crude" or stupid mistake is absurd. It was a extremely sophisticated mistake that demands a return to the extremely sophisticated safety engineering normally employed when designing aircraft.
I think something like this, if someone could build it, would be amazing. Essentially, this would bring the benefits of a BigCo monorepo (and all the SWE-time performance benefits it has) to the rest of the world. Lots of nice things could come from tech like this being adopted.

I don't think it would get mass adoption though. Git+GitHub+$PackageManager is "good enough" and this approach wouldn't be significantly better for every use case.

That is not a reason for these constraints. Anything can be misused in an unforeseeable way by a sufficiently resourceful and motivated person. Constraints make perfect sense for preventing accidents, they are not an adequate solution to deliberate misuse.
