Elon is an interesting case. In general, I think he's well intentioned, tries to think things through, and doesn't have that terrible a set of personal values and world view (all billionaires considered).

But he seems to think he can just speak before he fully thinks through his thoughts, like he's giving us the incomplete and raw thoughts as they come to him before he's even pondered them himself.

There's a bit of a lack of maturity and accepting the responsibility of his fame, his words has weight, but he doesn't caution himself with that.

And then he throws little tantrums when there's consequences, and I can understand, I'm someone with a little bit of ADHD, and I think fast, and I tend to say everything I'm thinking as I'm thinking it, and it doesn't mean that's my final well reasoned opinion, it's all brewing, I'm wondering things, and that might not be where I land. And when people take those intermediate thoughts or ideas I say out loud as a statement of my decisions or a reflection of my values, it's frustrating, and I have to explain that I'm not pushing these as an agenda, but it's just all part of my own reflection process.

Often the problem is that those unfinished thoughts you bring to others, you've not considered the real implications of what they are, the emotional impact, the intensitivity of them. And you think, no I'm not meaning those things, I'm just saying them as I explore the fill set of possibilities in a detached and unbiased way.

But you've said them, to someone else, whose now processed you saying something that might be insensitive, controversial, etc. So they get the full impact of that on them.

And even I've come to realize this isn't good for me and isn't fair to others. I need to learn to proof read my own thoughts before I bring them up to others.

Elon doesn't seem to have reached that point. He seems to think, hey, what if "something racist" is actually not just a stereotype, but has some truth beneath it and if so, maybe needs addressing? Well it's possible it's a worthy mental exercise to wonder that, as you explore all possibilities. But it's the kind of thing that someone like Elon should not tweet publicly about. Because it's obviously going to be taken as a conclusion, as an indication that Elon really thinks this is true, or that it's such a highly likely possibility it's.worth bringing the question up publicly to the world. Where in reality, he didn't mean to add any extra weight, maybe he saw it as just another equally likely possibility of many that had he thought about it for 10 more minutes would have dismissed.
Maybe like for other fruits ? They take them still green.

Definitely not my experience - the flavour definitely deteriorates too, often becoming quite bitter.
Is there a copy of the gif available? That’s interesting
Can’t be bothered to watch the whole video at work so I apologize if this is in TFV.

If you can’t find one technically minded person who believes enough in your vision to drop everything and help you make it, that is not a good sign for your vision.
This is a perfect case of thinking you are doing a net good, but in actuality just doing more harm by pissing a lot of drivers off and potentially causing a road rage incident. Do this in a large northern city and you may even get more than what you bargained for.
What I described is not at odds with dualism.

Software in some sense does exist in a spiritual realm in the same way Aquinas talked about "incorporeal beings". You can't hold or point to software or souls or gods. You can hold and point to hardware and bodies.

Of course, I have no idea what Aquinas actually believed. I just find his conclusions around the existence of "incorporeal beings" and "souls" to be consistent with the emergent-agent idea we're talking about.

For instance, in a very un-catholic view, Aquinas argued that - to some extent - animals and even plants have souls in this way.
Meta left news in Canada and isn't set to return - no news media can post to Meta platforms. Now media outlets have lost a good chunk of their organic business model and are reduced to begging. The government implemented a large media tax subsidy as a result of how much C-18 cost the media so far.

And all pre-existing Meta and Google deals have been cancelled. This $100 million is all there is.
Well you are right. But reality here is company is printing boat load of money with their cloud infra monopoly. So what to do? Blabber non sensical bullshit that no one will question because again everyone is making money and if they are so smart to challenge leadership dictates why wouldn't they just leave and apply their ideas some place else that needs them.
Interesting.

The model was whatever was up that that time, so probably was 3.5 if you say so.
The simplest option is to treat it as a rejection. Users aren't going to be dreaming up (choosing a recent article at random) URIs like /politics/federal/chiefs-of-ontario-says-trudeau-s-carbon-price-is-discriminatory-and-demand-a-review/article_9c995f63-1e26-56c6-9048-79781a9b649c.html in order to get there without some referring party.

Negotiations between Google/Meta and the news organization when defining the service contract can explore alternative options (access token, for example) should it be an imperative, for some reason, that the referrer still be inaccessible. People are allowed to talk to each other.
The inverse side of this is, that depending on the business, you may need another type of co-founder as well. Two technical co-founders aren't the right fit for every business.
Go to India in mango season. (or I assume other areas where Mangos grow). They export the garbage locals won't eat.
IMHO, I'd date the concept of artificial life further back than Christopher Langton. I'd start with Von Neumann's Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata. Though the book was published in 1966, Von Neumann was working on the concept as early as the 1940s. In his work,

"He asked what is the threshold of complexity that must be crossed for machines to be able to evolve. His answer was to specify an abstract machine which, when run, would replicate itself. In his design, the self-replicating machine consists of three parts: a "description" of ('blueprint' or program for) itself, a universal constructor mechanism that can read any description and construct the machine (sans description) encoded in that description, and a universal copy machine that can make copies of any description." From wikipedia [1]

This is what I constantly tell my students: The hard part about doing a tech product for the most part isn't the what beginners think makes tech hard — the hard part is wrangling systemic complexity in a good, sustainable and reliable way.

Many non-tech people e.g. look at programmers and think the hard part is knowing what this garble of weird text means. But this is the easy part. And if you are a person who would think it is hard, you probably don't know about all the demons out there that will come to haunt you if you don't build a foundation that helps you actively keeping them away.
i got glasses and it looks nothing like me. everything is inaccurate.
fastmod is another nice and user-friendly Rust tool for such cases.
I've seen accusations of planned Russian expansionist policies based on actions regarding the Ukraine. I've also seen reports on resource scarcities within Russia. Encouraging many kids might lend credence to planning attempts to recapture more of the old Soviet Union, given those two things. But, it's one indicator only.

Better analysts than I will need to look at all the indicators and try to predict what he'll do. I don't see Putin as a 'Crazy Eddie'. That's a specific indicator of someone who out of nowhere will turn do an unexpected behavior for no apparent reason, from Left Hand of Darkness. There's a Russian version from The Hunt For Red October, or earlier, 'Crazy Ivan'.

I think Putin is motivated by some combination of nationalism and greed, possibly in equal measure. In some ways this makes him less dangerous (we can predict), others more (greed can make people do horrible things).
If you've already mashed the avocado, you can keep it from browning by adding a little bit of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Here[0] is a series of tests someone else did to prove that this works. I've personally had guacamole last several days in the fridge with no noticeable browning, but then again, guacamole doesn't last long in my house once it's been made. :)

That wouldn't really solve XSS vulnerabilities (of course depending on what the vulnerability is).
In the book "Being You" Anil Seth. It does postulate that we make up consciousness.

The brain is trying to 'predict' the next sensory input, and that prediction is our awareness. What we would call our 'conscious self'.

It makes point of calling it a 'controlled hallucinations', in that what we experience as our self. "Hallucination" being the experience we have as our brain 'predicting/controlling' for the sensory input. So All inputs come together in a 'hallucination', but it is averaged 'Bayesian', with the actions we are taking at same time. So Action + Prediction = Self.

It is funny that using the word 'hallucinate' in AI has become so common and it is also used in Humans. And so few people seem to make connection that they are actually very similar, and far from being an argument against AI consciousness, is argument for how similar they are.
The 400 million guns owned by the people of this country. Humans will not go quietly into the night. They might lose some sense of purpose as they work less, but they will never accept a government that is not fundamentally based on humanism and they will never accept reduction in quality of life as GDP expands.
Except that the actual text of the law does not match your claim. It's about "facilitating access to news content by any means" including an "index" or "aggregation". Not about reproducing large chunks of the original content.

And it should be pretty obvious that this is the case. If your interpretation was correct, Meta would not have removed Canadian news sources entirely. They'd just have removed the previews (hell, the news companies could have removed the previews themselves; they already have the controls for that).
I have a friend who worked at Gusto, and my wife tried using Gusto for her small business (they handle payroll for small business, got a big boost from the pandemic). The lack of technical resolution here is so Gusto, it hurts.
This is extremely at odds with what I actually want: longer evenings.
Meta is still out. No news media in Canada can share their articles there anymore. And Google has been exempted from the law - that's how the govt and google reached an agreement. The law called for google to bargain individually with each publisher, but instead google negotiated a $100 million payment with the government in order to have them not apply the law.
Neat idea, but it return an avatar of someone that doesn't look even remotely like me.
Or a technical audience is not the market
I wish my local market had two piles - ripe and unripe. That way I'd have one ready for use immediately and can ripen the others as needed.
Meta Platforms' ad-free service targeted in EU consumer complaint
The issue is city governments don't want tiny homes. They want the large mcmansions on the outskirts/suburbs and highrises in the city. These are more expensive so they generate more property tax.

Builders don't want to make a 150k home when the initial costs (mainly time) takes the same amount as a 400k home. So builders themselves don't want to build starter homes anymore too.
Rectangle Pro user here -- biggest frustration I've had is configuration. While the GUI is nice for seeing all the options and some basic stuff, when it comes to actually configuring App Layouts it's been a nightmare of clicking around. I went so far as to export my config so I could modify it with a text editor and then re-import it but the config itself includes serialized JSON as values so to accomplish what I wanted to I had to de-serialize the json, make the changes I wanted to, re-serialize it, then re-import it back into Rectangle, all while hoping I didn't mess up the re-serialization step. This ended up taking more time than if I had just painfully clicked through the interface.

Personally, I wish Rectangle had the option of storing configuration in a simple dot file in my home dir but I understand that would prevent syncing through icloud, which is a feature I imagine a lot of folks like. Barring that, I wish rectangle could export/import the configuration in a more editor friendly way so I could make these configuration changes much faster and more easily ensure consistency across settings.
In chess positions, a similar sequence of moves starting from a slightly different position would result in a completely different position. For example, imagine playing 10 moves identically in two games, but in one of them, 20 moves ago, a bishop moved into some corner that causes a piece to be pinned. This means that the right move would be completely different between these two scenarios despite the last 10 moves being the same.

To play well, the model would need to keep track of where the pieces are and be able to "reason" about the situation to some extent.

I've also tested it with some rare and unorthodox openings. For example, after 1. f3, there are only a handful of games on chessgames.com (which has over a million games), and after several more moves it's easy to get a position where even large online sites like chess.com and lichess.org don't have any games at all. Even in such cases, parrotchess was able to navigate it fairly decently despite never having ever seen that position before.
Senator Paul, God bless him, is seemingly the only patriot in Washington. I always know the exact position he will take on any issue, and it's identical to me. A true, small government conservative, no lobbyist bullshit.
This is absurd and absolutely detached from reality. Not one person on the island of Ireland is going to accept either a timezone border between Ireland and Northern Ireland or between Northern Ireland and Britain. Unsurprisingly not one expert or group on their list is Irish or from the UK.
It's almost like something I've vaguely heard about.
Completely agree, and while we are at it... look I'm just a guy, not an expert, but I can't understand why there's so much focus on AGI. It feels like there are so many niche areas where we could apply some kind of analytical augmentation and by solving problems in the small, might learn something that would help figure the larger question of intelligence. I don't need the AI to replace everything I do, I need it to solve 10,000 micro problems I solve every day - each of which is a business opportunity for someone.
Alright, can you recommend a webmail host who hasn't had 2 security issues the last 15 years then?

I guess, if the discipline is corruption. My company doesn't feel the need to tell me how to avoid discussing sensible topics with my teammates on group chat.

Yeah, because technical merit isn't the only way you get ranked in the stack. For instance, would you say no to an ethically questionable order if you're on a PIP?
The govt is actually not applying C-18 to google. That's the deal that was signed: google makes an annual payment, and the govt doesn't designate them as a news provider.

So just like in Australia, the applies to nobody. The text of the law isn't very relevant, the whole thing is intended as an elaborate shakedown.

Ironic.
Well, I think in general it would be best if he stepped back to those companies, and stayed away from social media, especially Twitter.
I have tried it and I have expected that it would look similar to the selfie, but the output does not look like me. It looks more like a random stock photo. Perhaps that was the intention?
I share your opinion re: Ireland and Portugal. This is like, for example, in the US setting Maine to be in its own time zone.
Some good points. I'm reading this from the perspective of someone who has long since left the 40's behind.

1. Don't exercise to thin. Exercise to be strong. --> Especially as you get older, strength diminishes. Exercise enough to keep your strength. This has so many positive knock-on effects.

10. The small details of your day matter. --> They really do. We're all busy, but make time to read a book, to play a silly video game, to go for a hike. My favorite saying: "Enjoy life. This isn't a dress rehearsal."

11. Allow friendships to come and go. --> It seems to get more difficult to find friends. Fewer oppportunities, and we get picker. Another saying: "Everyone is someone else's weirdo." Enjoy your weirdness, take other people as they are, and find friendships in unexpected people.

14. Everyone should go on a course before becoming parents, to find out exactly how their own parents traumatised them. --> You will avoid your parents' mistakes and traumatize your children in new and unexpected ways. We're all amateurs at this, just doing the best we can.

18. Put your phone down. Put your phone down. Put your phone down. --> This is surprisingly hard. What I am doing just now???
This does seem pretty similar to Q-learning. So yes, things-based-on-Qs are hot right now.
Hopefully this is all performing better than CodeWhisperer. That AI is a slag pile compared to GitHub CoPilot.

Bad suggestions.
Poor user experience.

My dev team rejected it pretty quickly, and absolutely loves CoPilot.

YMMV of course.
Mine kinda sucked. First, it made an avatar with two almost identical heads in it. I have a high forehead, the two people in the avatar had full, thick hair. I have brown eyes, the avatar twins have large, deep blue eyes. The only thing in common with my image was that the avatar people have a salt and pepper beard, like I do.
I think their theory is that that’s more than made up for by the lack of the traditional CV joint and its losses at different angles.

Is it really necessary to mention ChatGPT assistance with a query so simple?

This sort of thing really makes me wonder how much we are trying to persuade ourselves of the hype around ChatGPT.
Samsung are claiming a 3nm process node within 24 months of TSMC, and 90% of TSMC's transistor density.

That is commercially significant and entitles TSMC to bragging rights and huge profits. But if China fails like Samsung, they're at no strategic disadvantage at all and the US technology embargo will have effectively failed to do anything.

Good answer. Thank you.
All these models can do is regurgitate an approximation of a stored image.
Mean to say "the second time" so your pedantic post is not worth more than skimming.
I'd take the even stronger stance that additional technical cofounders seems to deliver increasing rather than diminishing returns.
Check the ingredients... a lot of them are heavily adulterated. Not to say they aren't tasty, but they aren't even necessarily "avocado".
My team decided to use it to represent our team. Now the "avatars" means nothing, other teams check our picture and cannot say who is who..
Does Turbo (the model, not this particular notebook) support negative prompts?
Not yet, no. The real question is whether a bigger version of the current technology will have deeper insights. That question should be answered within the next year, with the amount of money and GPU hardware being thrown at the problem.

An important statement in the article is this...

>“As the decision of what to think about is made, executive areas of the brain choose the thought-trace which is stronger. In, other words, if any pre-existing brain activity matches one of your choices, then your brain will be more likely to pick that option as it gets boosted by the pre-existing brain activity.

If you observe con men, politicians, and advertisers, they'll commonly use precursors to pre-prime the pump in influencing what you'll agree to.
Chicken and egg. From what I see, the highly motivated and socially competitive do weights. I suspect you are trying to reverse causation by suggesting that doing weights will create motivated self-sufficient people.

Cardio matters as you pass middle age. I know some people that do weights that are simply unfit - out of breath doing hill climbing.

Anecdotally I see some physical and mental health from simpler regimes: some regular walking. Why are working people in London mostly not obese - using the tube which needs 10 to 15 minutes of walking must help. Especially so if mixing walking with social?

"Four seconds of intense intervals, repeated until they amount to a minute of total exertion, led to rapid improvements in strength and fitness in middle-aged and older adults." - https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/30/well/move/can-4-seconds-o...

Ideally we need to look at which fitness interventions help someone who has an unhealthy lifestyle. But the selection problem remains: people that are motivated to change their lifestyles (whether weights training, walking, whatever) are a different subpopulation compared against the majority of people with bad lifestyles.

Also I'm guessing you are responding as a <50yr old man to "Don’t exercise to be thin. Exercise to be strong." - the article appears to be by Annie Macmanus. I know two female body builders and neither exercises to be thin.
it’s very possible.

I wonder what portion of Hacker News users aren't technical.

I thought this headline meant a technical founder needs a technical co-founder even.

I agree with that sentiment but do we have 20 years to spend waiting to stave off climate change?
Gotta disagree with number 4. I've found out that respect is far more important than "love". After multiple relationships I've concluded the only woman to truly love me was my mother.

Number 12 is spot on, people wasting your time should be eliminated very quickly. Money can be gained again, time is lost forever.
I feel so unsatisfied
Same thought. For 20k$ you can get a car. What you get here, at least looks like, a roomba with an arm gripper.

I understand why it is so expensive, since it is not a mass product. Or in other words, it should be 10x cheaper, if it would be a mass product.
(Title is altered, changes meaning: explanatory "Why you need..." is more enticing than the assertion "You do need...")
That doesn't seem relevant. A co-founder isn't part of your market or audience.
