While this case was already pointed out, the implications deserve a re-emphasis:

"Between 2018 and 2021 a scandal took hold in the Netherlands – eventually leading to the resignation of Mark Rutte’s third government – due to a flawed risk-scoring algorithm which led tax authorities to wrongly accuse thousands of frauding a childcare benefit scheme."

Valve's a great example. They have overwhelming market share and could have long since tried to tighten the screws to make a buck, and haven't done anything of the sort. They've also launched numerous 1st party systems and hardware that they could have tried to shove on people (Steamdeck, Index, controllers, etc) but, again, have done nothing of the sort.
> If they wanted to verify the students actually developed a working program, they could have easily asked for the Pi's to be returned along with the source code.

Wait, is your argument honestly "it's not cheating because they just trusted the students"?

There's a huge difference between demoing something as "this is what we did" vs "we didn't quite get there, but this is what we're envisioning."

Edit: You all are responding very weirdly. The cheating is because you're presenting "something" that is not that thing. Put a dog in a dress and call it a pretty woman and I'll call you a conman.

Note that each single "step" of the Turing Machine may take n steps of advancing the GoL cellular automaton itself. This means that only periods of n*i where i is an integer corresponding to the number of steps made by the TM, are guaranteed to exist. Worse even, I don't think that a proof of Turing completeness requires there to be any time bounds on the machine, so n might not even be a constant... If that's the case, then Turing completeness only proves that there exists an infinite number of periods of various lengths, but nothing about how comprehensively they "cover" all possible periods.

Current LLMs can’t do “random”.

There are 2 sources of randomness:

1) the random seed during inference

2) the non-determinism of GPu execution (caused due to performance optimizations)

This is one of those things that humans do trivially but computers struggle with.

If you want randomization, ask it the same question multiple times with a different random seed.
There are a lot of apps/rewards/loyalty programs now. Its kind of like two different economies for some businesses: those who use these deals and those who subsidize the others. E.g. at mcdonalds a big mac is still ~$3, but only if you use their app and use the buy 1 get 1 deal on the big mac.

Taco bell is also good about having some high calorie per dollar foods on their value menu. There’s a $2 burrito that comes out to like 600 calories. You could always swap out the meat for black beans if you want it a little healthier perhaps.

No, it really isn't a good idea to base your theories of psychiatric medicine on a satirical half-hour cartoon show about swearing construction-paper children.

It is true that there are some corners of the internet where probably-healthy people meet to discuss what it's like to have disorders that they probably don't have, or in some cases disorders that might not even exist.

But you really ought to talk to some actual doctors and patients before you conclude that their problems aren't real, or can be overcome by pretending they don't exist.
> By conflating pro-palestine protests with pro-hamas

Actually, you conflated the two. I explicitly said "pro-Hamas" and not "pro-Palestinian" because I meant "pro-Hamas".

The Medium article (linked) is a write up of this ~5 min video from @emilymbender. It is a very good summary of the current state of AI from a virtual roundtable convened by Congressman Scott on "AI in the Workplace: New Crisis or Longstanding Challenge?"

https://youtu.be/eK0md9tQ1KY?si=3GJx7l70SupDHmTl

In it, she clearly underlines how replacing the term “AI” with “automation” quickly opens up a whole host of useful questions: including what’s being automated, who’s automating it and why, and who’s impacted or harmed by that automation.
As an analogy, if you have a hose squirting out water at a certain rate, and you increase the pressure, then all other things being equal you'll get a higher rate of water. But then that means you could now reduce the size of the hose, keeping the new higher pressure, and achieve the original rate of water delivery with a smaller, cheaper, lighter hose.

It's very similar with electricy: water pressure is voltage and the rate of water delivery is power.
Fireside Chat with Avlok & Naval
I read it pretty much the same way. I do have some ideas on how you should structure the board of something like OpenAI, but it is more along the lines of a broadly represented structure than five industry experts and a customer or two.

For this to work you need all layers of society to be represented and since this is intended to be global you'd be looking at the UN. Of course that's 100% anathema to anybody involved with OpenAI or even any cross section of HN because 'bureaucrats don't get technology and the UN can't agree on anything'. But if it really is what it seems to be that to me seems to be the only venue where this can be addressed.

Of course the race is on and the first party to cross the threshold will get the gold and never mind the consequences so I expect any attempt at oversight to be murdered the second they have it working.
In Shanghai, if you visit a Papa John's Pizza, you will have no trouble ordering black pepper beef chow mein.

I originally wrote this for reddit, who then stonewalled the result. The /r/ProRevenge moderators indicated interest, then declined. The /r/NuclearRevenge moderators gave me the silent treatment, when I asked about posting this there.

Despite the system abusing me into dark and offensive places, the cited and sourced science, technology, and capabilities, are undeniable.

Many readers find a deeply held personal excuse to call me merely schizophrenic, to make this all just go away with a hand wave, but that's the exact attitude that's being confronted here, with solid science and RF engineering concepts.

I haven't found the async call stack in VS to be bad unless I'm doing stuff like firing off "async void" calls or firing off "Task.Run"s. It sure does make the stack trace on Exception.ToString() ugly but the call stack in the debugger is ordinarily quite navigable.

Now what can be annoying is when your problem is in some ASP.NET core middleware and you can't find it debugging your controller methods.

Also I don't love the "fluent API" configuration style they've adopted. I always have to Google what my chain of services.AddMvc(options => ...) and app.UseMvc(...) is supposed to look like. These APIs seem like they should be very discoverable through intellisense but since you can't "see" extension methods until you open their namespace, sometimes you have to already know exactly what you're looking for to find it. But then again, the old way of configuring a lot of those same things was via web.config and even less discoverable, so that's kind of a wash.

Edit: one other thing about the modern style of C# library design is the total rejection of statics in favor of dependency injection. Which I think is done with good intentions but somewhat overzealous. We no longer use HttpContext.Current, we have an IHttpContextAccessor that needs to be injected. We no longer use ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["foo"] we have an IConfiguration which again, needs to be injected. I get why this was done but I feel it trades convenience in the 99%-of-the-time case where those things really are quite reasonable to treat as static, for elegance in the 1% of cases where they are not.
Maybe. Those things can still be taught.

The other idea I like to link to these skills is "thought is action" type mastery. And, just to be clear, that is a state of clarity coupled with having grokked[0] something valuable.

Having realized that state many times in my past makes it easier today. I can go there and perform, doing or dealing with whatever it is efficiently and effectively.

It also can mean agency where ones peers may well lack it.

You don't even really need the middleman - Disney has surely uploaded pictures of Ironman to these sites so it would have them either way.

But I don't know if it's really laundered anything. If you say "Hey Meta AI, make me poster for my cookie company that has Iron man eating my cookies" I'm pretty sure Disney could still sue you. It could still sue you if you instructed a human to draw a picture that had Ironman in it so I don't even know if you need a new legal framework.

Bluetooth's downsides:

* Pairing UX is unreliable and has corner cases that even Apple hasn't solved and they're probably the best case. 1/8" is predictable and reliable (and doesn't require extra thought / kit to make sure you can power at the same time).

* Battery life isn't an issue for wired headphones.

* Latency is unacceptable for some use cases (mostly specialized audio), and sometimes audio quality is degraded too.

I like wireless audio, (especially for workout listening) but I miss the headphone jack on my original iphone 5 SE at least once a week.

I don't think that's surprising, because surely there are a lot more possible ways to get larger periods than small periods? The amount of possible interactions / mechanisms in play is more limited with small periods. I think that groups of periods over some theshold numbers would also yield more readily to "constructive" approaches where you can "build up" the period using oscillators of a smaller period as components.

TypeScript only has "discriminated unions" in an extremely busted form. While they are encoded in its type system, there is little support in control flow. Exhaustiveness checking is essentially optional: it's enabled in switch statements by either `assertNever` in the `default` case, or by limiting your function return from within switch cases with the `strictNullChecks` option enabled.

Without a match expression and first-class exhaustiveness checking, discriminated unions are far less useful. Of course, this is because they don't want the TypeScript compiler to actually generate code, so they can't add runtime features. While TypeScript is better than no TypeScript, it seems like a massive waste to build a compiler and then shy away from making people's lives easier when possible.
So pretty much the stage 5 of Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
