If you're willing to accept inputs that are only almost exactly the same, there's already a class of deterministic systems that can provide you with wildly different outputs.

Moreover, in such systems, the output might be impossible to predict based on the input (other than by running the system).

Deterministic doesn't necessarily imply predictable.

I'm just saying, you don't need to reach for quantum mechanics here, living organisms (and computers) are quite capable of being unpredictable even without it.

For the rest I agree with you.

Tool usage is one of the next ideas we would like to explore; because, if you think about it, the reacher-grabber that is currently used as an end-effector is just another tool.

If we can switch between tools quickly we can possibly unlock a wide range of applications: imagine a robot that can switch arms from a whisk to a spatula to a duster to to a mop all over the course of preparing a meal, and then switch to a screwdriver or a wrench for fixing something afterwards. Will take work to design modular parts like that, but the end result can be quite exciting indeed.

Part 380 Charter-by-the-Seat Model Under Scrutiny by FAA
This is a fascinating article. I feel like I am in my life constantly fighting against either haphazard UI like the one featured there, and the Apple-style UIs which attempt to optimize for beauty by shoving nearly everything (regardless of usefulness) into layers of "••• junk drawers" or little (i) icons.

On a ship worth hundreds of billions of dollars, it was never considered that the Big Red Button should have a plain English red sign saying "Emergency Take-Control-Here Button. Press to return control to THIS station."

The software designers as well could have used plain and direct language too, and made it easy to do the right thing, and require deliberateness to do a weird thing. If it's wildly irregular to have 2 people independently doing port/starboard thrust control, the process should be like "Transfer Thrust Control", followed by a modal with a giant "BOTH SIDES" button and two tiny "Port only" "Stbd Only" buttons.

Also when you are moving around something as important as control of your ship, why not have a simple voice announcement, what does a loudspeaker cost, 20 dollars a piece? "The Thrust control has been transferred to the Lee Helm" or "All Controls were transferred to the Bridge because the Red Take-Control Button was pressed at that station."

Sometimes I think only thoughtless people and Jony Ive-worshipers are doing UI design.

Yes - before I go on, please note this is not my area of expertise, but just something I am interested in.

I haven't seen anywhere which suggests that Thomas is Q, but to me if a book of biblical quotations is hypothesised when none has previously been found, and forty-five years later a book of biblical quotations is discovered (which, despite uncertainty about its timing, certainly dates to at least a millennium before the hypothesis) that lends some weight to the hypothesis.

Of course, given my general ignorance in this area, perhaps books of quotations from this time are common, and hypothesising the existence of one is like hypothesising the existing of a website for a popular TV show in 2023 (i.e. a meaningless proposition).
From memory, we enjoyed a heatwave in Jul - August ‘21 in UK/France.

Beyond demand pressures on the interconnected European market due to secondary effects of the heat and the COVID rebound, it’s likely nuclear output was reduced as the cooling potential of water sources was reduced - I vaguely remember articles on this before the cracking issue stole ‘headlines’.

Reduced nuclear output in France results in increased demand for less cost efficient national or more-expensive-than-nuclear international (interconnected) generators.

Well, taking into account that jq development has been halted for 5 years and only recently revived again, it's no wonder that bug reports have been sitting there for that time, both well known and new ones. I bet they'll get up to speed and slowly but surely clear the backlog that has built up all this time.
Offtopic but what fascinates me is how big of an actual engineering project The Sphere is.

From the structure itself to the syncing thousands of LED panels inside the sphere and outside the sphere, while keeping them cooled in Vegas while keeping it cool enough and ventilated inside for a seating capacity of 18 000 people.

There are run-of-the mill office buildings which fail to provide adequate ventilation.
> The moment one pilot does tug hard on the stick though, then the same problem is still there.

No, because the point is that the other pilot will feel the action and thus know that there are conflicting input. The sticks can even synchronise their movements, that way pilots can both see and feel that their copilot is inputting.

That is the point, making the existence of conflicting input clearer.

> So it will work most of the time except when you really need to

No.

> when the other pilot is panicking and won't provide accurate answers.

The sticks support taking priority, so a pilot seeing that their copilot is panic-inputting would be trained to press and hold the priority takeover button, deactivating their copilot’s stick.

The number of people harmed by that ramshackle contraption never came anywhere near the number wiped out in just the one incident.

Mis-operation of the Aegis system is, BTW, also responsible for the sinking of a British warship, HMS Sheffield, in the Falklands war, with at least 87 killed. It failed to identify an Exocet missile fired by the Argentines as a threat, even though the Navy was thoroughly aware Argentina had them.. (Two other British ships were also hit by Exocets, one sunk, for a couple dozen more lives.)
I don't think that falsifiability is that much of a difference between the humanities and the sciences. No scientific hypothesis is falsified by a single isolated observation (such evidence could always be an error in measurement, faked data, an halucinating scientist, etc.). Instead, the particular professional community reaches a conclusion by evaluating new evidence in the light of established beliefs. If we think of falsification we usually mean the emergence of new evidence that is so striking that the community changes an established belief without much ado. But this might happen in history as well, if new valuable documents were discovered, an important artifact was given a new date, something crucial turned out to be a forgery, etc.
They might do it even without comments by adding unused fields.
I do sympathise with that a bit, but for me at least it does not look like jql is the solution:

'|={"b""d"=2, "c"}'

this appears to be something like jq's:

'select(."b"."d" == 2 or ."c" != null)'

which.. is obviously longer, but I think I prefer it, it's clearer?

(actually it would be `.[] | select(...)`, but I'm not sure something like that isn't true of jql too without trying it, I don't know if the example's intended to be complete - and I don't think it affects my verdict)
I am reading the comments and it's all how dumb IT is to use that instead of self hosting, how bad the saas companies are, etc.

Well, everything is not a 2 years old startup with a Typescript stack on Postgres. Sometimes you have plenty of legacy systems, on prem services and a budget/headcount that allows you to go only that far by yourself.

Or an Exchange system basically abandoned by MS, so you either go for some roundcube install or M365.

Not all of your IT teams are either incompetent idiots, or psychopaths looking at making your life difficult. Sometimes they need to optimize and you see this optimization as idiotic while it may make sense in average.

Sure, I would prefer to have genius SaaS companies that provide a service that is fantastic, or just host Internet myself but sometimes it is not possible and you choose the least bad of the bad.

Wait, you just want clean service ? I thinked usecase need to recognize how it is started and react to that ! But ok, send a signal 9 and inittabzerod will fork it with inheriting everything from pid 1 :)

> > And "spaces" problem is solved

> No, it's not

Ok, it isn't :) They even rewrote git in C to use file descriptors instead of text paths. But moustly it is becouse it is a very known problem with decades of solutions already implemented in common tools.

> Write a shell script that reads a shell command (that contains quoted arguments with spaces in them!) from a file, appends some extra arguments to that command, and runs that command

So: do shell meta programming in shell ?? :) That's clear abuse becouse shell is not general purpose programming language.

And how you do just that with systemd ? :)

But if you want some editable template file then oneliner in sed or awk or perl or ... with some structure will do. No need for introducing CVEs with new and soon to be rewriten or removed or abandoned parser somewhere in milions of lines.
I believe this can work for losing weight, albeit I'm not sure how good it is for muscle building, being fit and muscular - and not only not fat. Anecdotally, I need to eat my proteins and my creatine (and sleep well, and exercise and not be stressed) if I want some gains.

I had similar effects on a carnivore diet anyway, which makes sense given animals have too all the nutrients you need (and then some). Lost 10kg back to my ideal weight and then maintained. I'm 1.5 years in.

I did diet before but I had to calorie count and I was always hungry.

Eating meat is not as boring and I don't supplement B12.
I do add sodium (salt) and potassium (no-salt) and rarely magnesium.
That's easy. On many civilian planes, beacon turned on automatically, but on military must be turned on intentionally.

Because of this, extremely typical, when you see military plane, but have not got alarm about it's approach - just pilot forgot to turn on beacon.

> This is bland advice and only applies in trivial situations where the colleague has bad habits, quirks, etc.

given the responses here, it sounds like it should help a few people's problems.
You see how that's worse, right?

The original argument put forth was that "an inherently unreliable tool cannot gauge its own reliability".

Someone responded that humans fit that description as well.

I said we don't. We can and do verify our own reliability. We can essentially test our assumptions against the real world and fix them.

You then claimed we couldn't do that "self-sufficiently".

I responded that while that is true for some tasks, for a lot of tasks, we can. That an AI can't check itself and won't even try.

And now you're telling me that they can check against each other.

But if you can't trust the originals, asking them if they trust each other is kind of pointless. You're not really doing anything more than adding another layer.

For example: If I put my pants on backwards, I correct that myself. Without the need to check and/or balance against any other person. I am self-correcting to a large degree. The AI would not even know to check its pants until someone told it it was wrong.

The objection isn't that "AIs can be wrong", the objection is that AIs can't really tell the difference between correct and incorrect. So everything has to be checked, often with as much effort as it would take to do the thing in the first place.

A list of 'do-not' works for tasks that bottom out in science and the laws of physics. Like woodworking or fusion physics.

Well, yes and no. The first development which is more than ten years old at this point, was to have projector xenon lights that are veery bright below a sharp line. That line is supposed to be kept below eye level of oncoming traffic, and there is a sensor that adjusts the line height. In Europe there is also a requirement to have washers on the headlights if you have this. The system kind of works fine, except when it doesn't, for instance when driving over a curved hill where it cannot work due to geometry, or when a sensor fails.

Then in the past 3-4 years, matrix LED lights became popular, where you have an array of LEDs with narrow beam optics that are aimed in a slight spread, so that each LED covers a specific area of the road ahead. Then there is a sensor that detects oncoming traffic, and dims the one or two LEDs that point towards those cars.

On the Model 3 and Y there seems to be a particularly frequent failure mode with the matrix LED where the lights, or sometimes just one of them, doesn't detect oncoming traffic at all. It also occurs when they are driving behind someone.

Couple of weeks ago I was behind such a Tesla at night, and I had to just let him get far in front of me, because he kept getting blinked at with the ultra-powered high beams of every oncoming semi trailer. Of course the poor driver couldn't do a thing about it.

Same here. Its biased sampling, also my prompt had generalized from GPT4 to Google’s own model - Bard. And was directly sampling, without having to go through the state when the model produces a repeating token. At least back then.

Should be a good food for the lawsuits. Some lawsuits were based on a hallucinated acknowledgement of the model that it used some particular materials, and this was clearly nonsense. Here, this is a bit more solid ground, provided that copyrighted material can be sampled and an owner would be interested in a class action.
