I actually agree that Turing's 1950 definition is pretty vague in places and there are a few different interpretations out there. As we discuss in the paper, it's also unclear what should constitute a pass in terms statistical analysis.

Russell's Paradox of ghostwriters
In my opinion, there's a huge difference between working for personal interests (what you call "reducing entropy"), and working for the sake of money, causing it to dictate your activities.

Even if you do the same "work", both circumstances can will feel wildly different, provide different value to society, and change the fraction of this "tiny, insignificant part of the machine" that you represent.

I'd argue that both kinds of "work" can function independently, and neither of them is a "requirement of life" provided the other option is available.
The interesting ramifications from this are going to be at Apple. Their corporate secrecy is well known in the industry - employees aren't even supposed to tell outsiders what department they work in, never mind small potatoes like Google employees agreed to that they're getting $20 for.
No, payroll tax is always included in salary numbers because the tax is _drawn_ from the salary, not added on top of it. In Sweden they always use gross numbers for salaries.

Thank you, that's indeed a good point. And yes, I did consider that. However, then the Gitlab UI (pipelines overview etc.) ceases to be very useful as everything will be inside one big child pipeline (i.e. individual jobs will no longer be shown in the overview). My coworkers would have hated me.

It should be obvious: that's the comment I was replying to.

> and even explicitly quote the stuff that has nothing to do with the "in public" you're responding to?

To preserve the context, because the original comment was deleted while the OP continued to defend it.

> 2. Come on, you can figure out what they meant by "public". It's not in the broader spheres of influence that connect to her. She doesn't see this site, this site doesn't see her.

Yeah, I did figure it out. But we're not Humpty Dumptys here, so we don't get to redefine words on a whim.

In short: that's what he meant, but that's not what "public" means.

At the end of the day a Clojure program is a .jar file. You can write your systems in any language and this will command them. But Clojure is a very cool language worth exploring.
That hush money didn't cover how much the tax payers wound up paying for the whole mess. Keep in mind, too, that was also after the city spent a lot of money prosecuting a One Touch Make Ready law through multiple layers of federal courts against AT&T and Spectrum and its own electrical company. (That was supposed to have been the real experiment, if a city could take back a lot of the red tape on its electrical poles. The city won and instead of using just about "blank check" access to city electrical poles, Google Fiber decided to do something much dumber.)

Basically the ISP is doing the soft networking stuff, (DHCP etc), customer support (maning the phones), connecting routes, billing and so on. Think "software". The fibre guys are "hardware".

In my setup I don't think the ISP has any local hardware - they're all national, and run on the hardware provided by the fibre guys.

I really don't think Tesla has really grasped the difference in relative power between US and Nordic unions, or European unions more broadly. E.g. the unionization rate in the Nordics ranges from around 50% in Norway to around 70% in Denmark (numbers vary, these are conservative numbers).

Even in Norway, with the lower union membership a large part of the reason for that is that the union power is sufficient that a far larger proportion of the labour market is covered by collective bargaining agreements.

For Tesla to then just outright reject collective bargaining is then seen by many as a direct attack on what has been the norm for decades, and on organizations representing most of the working population and holding a lot of real power and with the ear of politicians. Expect that if Tesla somehow gets the unions to yield, it'll be followed by subsequent election campaigns being fought in part on changing laws to reign them back in.
Thats likely true in some places, here though there's no local ISP hardware. (I expect they're in national data centres level).
Yeah, it would need to have some advantage over the ability of natural mycorrhizal fungi, and improving the uptake and exchange of phosphate and iron might be good, especially for soils where those ions are less mobile, like clays and very basic soils. Just given the realities of climate change, increasing arable land could be a huge bonus for some crops. That would be the good side. The negative side would be along the lines of predatory Monsanto/Bayer seed practices. See <https://www.reuters.com/article/us-monsanto-organic-lawsuit-...>

agreed. the population has probably passed an inflection point where bureaucracy is at its peak, crosscutting concerns are unavoidable, and communication chains too long and winding to be considered communication at all. but we’re talking of the genetrix of some of the modern modes of organizing work and workers. i'm more hopeful that they’ll be able to do the right thing, even if it doesn’t mean reducing workforce to the irreducible minimum.

The three outcomes are:

* Successful cover up (0% damage).

* Failed cover up (100% damage).

* Don't bother (100% damage).

So if doing nothing and failing to cover up lead to the same result, you might as well give a shot at successfully covering up. Whatcha got to lose?

It is assumed not bothering is 100% damage because the screw up is apparently bad enough to warrant attempting a cover up.

Analyzing the historical rate of catastrophes
No need to be snark. As for IR, my opinion is that it hasn't really progressed as a field at all; mostly still speculation about contemporary matters in world politics with some vague theory thrown in.
And I understand from personal experience* that those people don't want a train line, a garbage dumpster, or a facility with toxic fallout being put next to them. But I also think that overly sweeping restrictions can block initiatives with small downsides but overall positive impact on society like building solar panels or wind turbines.

*: the place where I grew up now has a factory next to it. It's unsightly, though it could have been much much worse, and sometimes noisy, but at least my parents at least can now also enjoy remote heating at ok-ish conditions. And it's nothing compared to the major pre-existing road immediately next to their house.
I’m very glad you set the argument this way, since it very neatly sets the stage for the core disagreement to be argued.

> Simply very good information synthesizers

> Simple very good syntactic synthesizers

I argue that theorists tend to adhere to the former, and practitioners the latter.

Consider prototyping: For an expert, it costs nothing (or near nothing) to check the output. You even start better, because you know how to ask the right questions to the tool in the first place.

LLMs dont get the semantics right, they get syntactic correlations right. When a subject is common place (literature), the correlations are good enough to get the reasoning right.

There is an IMPRESSIVE amount that gets done with just this. However, expecting to get reasoning right is the bridge too far.

Wrong expectations of tools, result in bad management projects and failures.

You can test this out right now. IF an LLM is able to do information synthesis, it is trivial to set up parallel prompts to work as teams. Try it out.

I did, I know why it can’t work as a result. The simple question to ask is “whats your error rate, and your hallucination rate?”

LLMs are always ‘hallucinating’.

I do hope, that the difference eventually becomes academic. That there is so much training material, that correlation is equal to reasoning. However, it will not be reasoning/semantic prediction.

Finally - the real world work has properties that are emergent. You can read every spec sheet you like, but when you start assembling components together, they are going to do weird things.
Yes, fossil fuel power plants are more efficient than ICE, but not meaningfully more [1]

> The total WTW efficiency of gasoline ICEV ranges between 11-27 %,

> diesel ICEV ranges from 25 % to 37 %

> The EV fed by a natural gas power plant shows the highest WTW efficiency which ranges from 13 % to 31 %

> While the EV supplied by coal-fired and diesel power plants have approximately the same WTW efficiency ranging between 13 % to 27 % and 12 % to 25 %, respectively

So yes, EVs are slightly greener but the distinction isn't that big when you're talking about global warming (like 10-20% better). When powered by renewables/nuclear/hydro the efficiency is substantially better but even more important is that it's carbon free.

As for your bloomberg piece, it's an impressive piece of fiction. The scenario outlined of replacing ALL cars with EVs by 2030, doubling renewable capacity & replacing coal with natural gas still only has our carbon footprint reduced by 30%. But there's no way we're going to reach that. EVs represent ~1% of cars on the road in the US and politicians are talking about banning sales of new ICE vehicles only in 2035. That's a huge amount of cars on the road and it's likely that existing ICE vehicles will be maintained & there will be massive resistance to banning them outright. So maybe we might get to 100% EVs on the road by 2050. We're not replacing fossil fuels in our energy grid with renewables by then - it's just technically not possible.

JavaScript is integral to this. I suppose there is a need for a, "This is what the page is about if you don't have it turned on" bit.
Whatever you call it, there needs to be some distinction between breaking changes and other changes. It doesn't need to be as prominent as the marketing-oriented big release, but it needs to be in there somewhere.

Modern software projects have too many dependencies, and too much noise coming from each dependency. Your project is likely just one of hundreds of libraries that got pulled into my dependency graph for some reason. I want to know if, and only if, there's a change that I need to be aware of. As for that shiny new feature that you're really proud of, I shouldn't even notice it unless it breaks an existing API.

Adblock browser vs non. adblock browser is a pretty easy and quick choice.

Nobody is against Linux. The problem is worshipping Linux like some kind of god. And then stepping on those who don't agree with your viewpoint. Linux is one force, among many.

>For you, if you don't have money to buy a mac, you are no longer a human being worth of respect. That tells me all I need to know.

This is just random, and a bit too far. It has nothing to do with someones humanity. It does for you though, because like I said, you fit that stereotype.

I mainly use nixOS with hyprland. I also own a mac and a windows PC.

>If I had the money to purchase a Mac growing up, probably that would have been my choice. Instead, I assembled my own computer from parts, and upgrading the computer incrementally by adding and replacing components.

Usually this profile I'm talking about fits someone who desperately wants to be seen as smart and identifies with that. Your zealotry has a different origin. But it doesn't excuse it. If you're no longer poor you should break out of that mold. Software developers need to get paid. The money needs to come from somewhere. Free time costs money as it's someones' salary that pays for leisure time to work on open source software. If you follow that trail you will see that something like linux would not exist if it weren't for closed source software.

I thought the quote was from "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension."
I could be wrong but molten salt reactors can use spent LWR fuel too & that doesn't have the proliferation concerns of breeders. My underlying point is we have the technology to solve waste & dumping into the ocean seems wasteful ecological risks aside (cause you have to have some complicated system to transport & disperse the spent fuel).
But the GPT4 that is accessible via ChatGPT and the API is *not* the base model. It is the instruct-tuned, post-RLHF variant.

And while GPT4 does not have a "world model", can we please move on from the stochastic parrot argument?

My inability to emit more than one word at a time (either spoken or written) does not mean I lack multidimensional planning and conceptualization; why does this line of thinking not extend to LLMs?
But again, why though? Why would someone writing custom compute kernels do it in some closed source language that just recently released instead of a language like Rust that has much more momentum behind it as well as similar safety guarantees? If Mojo was fully compatible with Python and simply sped up the code, then it's understandable why one would use it, as indeed that's what I thought they were doing (being akin to TypeScript, ie improving the base language in compatible ways that aren't so different as is the case here with borrow semantics), but it seems like they're pivoting out of data scientists.

And again, if in the future one can write higher level code (which is also possible in Rust via simply ignoring borrow semantics and cloning everywhere, where you still end up with a much faster program than in, say, TypeScript or Python simply due to the compiled and lack of GC nature of Rust), as well as higher level APIs on top of low level routines, how is that any different than Python which already has C++ implementations for popular libraries underneath their Python APIs?

It seems like Mojo doesn't really know what kind of language it wants to be and is throwing features at the wall.
Yes but for the first time I'm seeing a company denies basic functionality (Follow) to accounts that are not fingerprinted.

"In the end, Google will pay out only $27 million, a drop in the bucket for such a titanic company."

The article compares that payout against the $20,000 million Alphabet profited just last quarter, a significant difference considering that the lawsuit took ~28 quarters to generate this outcome.

Does anyone think the confidentiality clauses were pivotal in generating that scale of profit? Would Google or Alphabet be significantly poorer if their employees had been suddenly unburdened of the confidentiality clauses back in 2016?
The real cost to Google is not the payout, but the lawyer fees over 7 years.
If anything this has gotten even uglier as cumulative productivity gains have utterly shattered any legitimate scarcity or want.

Given that 100% of my TV usage falls into these categories:

No network connectivity would render my TV completely useless.

Though I think I could show photo from a thumb drive, so I'd have that going for me I guess.
I think we need to be careful; we can always show a slower speed is safer. I'm hoping to see where the speed limit is x on a road designed for x and someone goes x+5, the marginal danger.

I expect most accidents don't fit this profile and let's say there were 50k traffic deaths in a year, 1k match this scenario and the marginal impact is something like 50. This is pure speculation.

(Strawman) We could clearly limit most traffic deaths by going 5mph at all times. We generally accept the risk of higher speeds.

Super curious how they even found out. Did he confess? Anyone got the info?
The other big theories aren't completely untestable, the issue is basically that the models have a lot of parameters which can often be tuned in a way that leaves a possibility for the general theory to still work, and testing them to the point that any corrections seem too unreasonable is even more difficult and expensive.
Probably not, the infinite loop rules are specifically about rules where a player cannot make a choice in the process.

It's possible that there's a way to do something turing-challenging or busy-beavery in such a situation, but it's usually pretty difficult to make complex unbendable loops, they're usually very direct cases where taking an action more or less forces you to immediately take the same action again, so the loop has...two steps. Anything much bigger or more complex and you're basically assured to have player choice.

There's probably room to do something where a player is clearly losing unless they do something which might continue a situation that is undecidable.
What I find more interesting is that we are now seeing cross-border strikes.
Tangentially relevant, I have found that when people crash into my parked car, they universally attempt to cover up, and flee the scene. Inevitably they are on camera, and they end up paying for damage. This has happened multiple times. However, there is no extra punishment adminstered for the fleeing and the cover up. So (at least in Australia) you are universally incentivsed to try and coverup a vehicle hit and run, than you are to leave details. Sad.
> Tell me what 6 months in a cage and financial ruin will do to teach someone about a victimless crime.

Don't do victimless crimes. If you have already done it, don't cover it up. And if you have to do it all, don't do it stupid.
It is absolutely not true that for any problem on a real computer it's possible to tell if it terminates, other than fairly trivial observations such as noting that if it runs longer than 2^(size of memory) steps it must be looping.

If you could, then I'd start using your "real computer" halt checker to instantly mine bitcoin or break all cryptography, so let me know when you figure out out.
