> A lot of them are like Alex Jones, but much more of them are not.

Sure, but which ones are provided to you as choices when you open an account with no context? A few weeks ago people were doing some sampling of that and ended up with almost entirely right/far-right lists. I wouldn't be surprised if Alex joined that list soon. (He's on it indirectly already since Elon is recommended)
The singularity isn't the problem, the problem is mass unemployment.

Sure AI is a bit shit, but its significantly cheaper than hiring someone to make it better. So for a lot of things, that job or thing will be done by AI.

Now, if we are lucky, there will be another industry of jobs that will support the 10-40% of people that are unemployed.

However what optimists tend to omit timelines when saying "new jobs will come along". If we take the industrial heartlands of england, they have still not recovered an event that effectively finished in 1992. The hollowing out of the rust belt is another example (however I leave that to US experts to explain.)

We as programmers are pretty fucked. However we're not going to notice until its too late. Like Mike from "the sun also rises" its going to happen "Gradually, then suddenly.”

Are we sure things like biology, or heck, even the universe as a whole and its parts, aren't "glorified x thing"? Can't we apply this argument to just about anything?
I was doubting for a while until I took a test drive. You can ask for the last test drive on Saturday evening and keep it till Monday morning. At least here in Belgium that works and you get to properly test it. Which helped to try out the baby and kid chairs we use.
My family wanted to buy a very capable 4x4 a couple of years ago. We wanted something capable of towing a large load and to take offroad in some challenging areas, which means most of the SUVs designed for road use are out of the question. At least locally, Toyota are usually considered among the best in this criteria. I was pretty shocked at how dated absolutely everything about it looked and felt. It was definitely a capable offroad vehicle, but it also seemed like it was stuck in the 90's design wise. And by the time it was fully optioned it was, IMO, far too expensive to justify how compromised it felt. It felt like they'd let their reputation stall out their design for a couple of decades.

We ended up buying something else that was much more comfortable and better designed (including CarPlay!) and haven't regretted it.
> Growing up 30 years ago, everybody knew the top 5 TV shows

To be fair 30 years ago there were probably only 20 or so new/big TV shows to watch and those shows tried to cater for all viewers - age/sex/background etc. Today the choice is much greater (and probably includes those 20 or so shows somewhere) as producers can create content that only specific demographics will be into but the international streaming nature means that enough people will watch.

The most popular shows today are those watched by younger viewers.

True. I purchased my weights before covid and was very happy the moment the lockdowns started here. Ultimately, I started my home gym because this way I have no excuses to not train. It's next to my computer and everytime I feel the urge to train I can do that immediately (not on a training scheme right now). Put on some nice music (without ads) and defy gravity, usually without changing to gym clothing (yes, they go in the laundry afterwards).

Depending on what you pay for a gym membership of course, I think I started saving money after 1,5 to 2 years (cheap gym membership compared to relatively cheap equipment at home).
Ah, I see. I haven't used Android in a while.

>>I know plenty of people who can do basic 3d sketching with no specific instruction, but that's not me

I used to think that I am tone deaf and have no memory for melodies. Bu t after I forces myself to spend a lot of time singing, playing guitar and listening to music it occured that I just lacked some basic skills that combined suddenly creates magical ability of recalling melodies in my head and even repeating them. The same was with drawing and public speaking and general movement coordination (strength training can do wonders in this department).

This made me believe that some of problems of education system comes from general inability to convince students to spend more (dozen times more) on practicing basic skills (being this writing, small/big motoric skills, logical thinking oraz even some seemingly unimportant stuff like voice emission)

Thanks Amir! This demo opens the door to other many use cases. Let me know if you have any real-world problems you are trying to solve using LLMs.
Against their own advice, the moment it is stolen you should erase it from Find My as a priority. Until that is done it can be used to authenticate with your iCloud account as an MFA device and can then be removed anyway if they get past the device lock. In that window the security posture is somewhat unknown. I'm sure there is a good market of off the shelf exploits which can leverage that in some way, despite Apple's excellent general efforts on this front so far.

The key thing is to protect your data first and that means wiping it remotely. Leave it attached to your iCloud account device list though because that'll leave the provisioning / device lock in place. I'm sure they have a way around that now but it'll make it more difficult and devalue it for the thief at least.
> when we obviously know how to write safe software in other spaces in the low level? Think anything space, aviation or automotive.

I seriously doubt that those software is near any levels of safe. They are just not attacked as often.

> If your remedy to writing bad software is "just put it into a sandbox", then who says that sandbox isn't bad software as well?

Chromium has high quality coding, but they still sandbox their own code whenever they can. Security vulnerability results from the limit of humanity, so it cannot be eliminated by just willpower.

And to answer your question directly,

* Writing a sandbox is easier to get right than many other software.
* Even if the sandbox itself is badly written and therefore has vulnerability, it must be combined with the vulnerability of the software it protects in order to achieve any attack. So sandboxing something always increase the difficulty
of attackers and is a worthy investment from the viewpoint of security.

> The solution I like is to use strictly typed languages, formaly verified compliers, a ton of tests and fuzzing and above all: avoiding unnecessary complexity.

The relationship between these and sandboxing is not exclusive. One can and should do both of them.

So, if Starship killed a crew of three in a pre-launch rehearsal like Apollo 1 did, you’d be on here defending it as not a problem?

If the Starship second stage failed to restart causing it to fail to get to TLI, or tried to take out its manned crew like 13 did, you’d be claiming it’s still a sterling safety record?

You’d have considered this test a success if it reached orbit “despite sustaining severe damage” on the way up?

Come on.

Fine. Same for Starship, so far.

“My hunch is that whatever happens, we'll see scenes of Apollo people clapping and cheering and Apollo fans calling the flight a success. From what they tell me, no Apollo launch has ever failed.”
Ok, that's fair to argue over the figures. The point I was making was that displacing the entire Gazan population is not insignificant, and more indicative of ethnic cleansing than a small conflict. As to the other points about fostering integration rather than segregation, those go here unanswered as they are valid.

One of the Blendle founders described this as cyclical in nature. People get bored with paying for a lot of content they don't need, so they switch to a pay-per-item service. Then they get bored of the nickel-and-dime experience (and perhaps pay more than they anticipated), so they get interested in an all-you-can-eat model again. He pointed at cable TV as an example, continually bundling and unbundling popular content to either persuade people to pay for a bundle or to pay for pay-per-view.

I'm waiting for a smart content provider that has a 'never pay more' model. Stream a movie for 6 bucks, but since the all-you-can-eat bundle price point is 30 bucks, once you watch 5 movies, the rest are free for the remainder of the month.

I just measured the footprint of my home gym (only weights, a small bench and a pullup rack) and it's like 2 (two!) square meters. Take another 2 square meters for exercising and lifting, and I'm good to go.

When I was a young kid, in the mid-to-late 90s, scientists predicted that by around this time we simply run out of oil (so that part of the problem, the phasing-out, kind of solves itself), and research for alternatives are in progress.

While the internet may have gotten worse then TV with ads, the internet being on-demand and interactive, and being mostly on computers instead of appliances, means you can skip/bypass 99% of the ads by using adblockers.

I refuse to use the modern web without adblockers, and have a very friendly media usage experience without ads. Every time I listen to radio in the car, or see TV at frieds or parents I'm amazed by the volume of advertisements being hurled at the consumer. In my own environment I never get to see all this crapware.
The question that popped into my mind is rather: why does Rust rely on the C stdlib at all (e.g. why even call into musl or glibc). Shouldn't the Rust stdlib implement its own allocator which directly requests memory from Linux via syscalls?
I initially created Npkill (https://npkill.js.org) for my own use because as a web developer I was always running out of disk space. When we launched it quickly became popular because it seems that not only we had that problem and today it is the most popular tool for that purpose.

Another one I launched was Pill Reminder (https://zaldih.github.io/pill-reminder/). If you are taking something for a cold or medical treatment it allows you to easily swipe and note down when you have taken your medication and lets you know when you are due to take it next.

ScrollTabs (https://github.com/zaldih/scrolltabs-extension) was born so soon after I migrated from chrome to firefox years ago and I missed being able to switch between tabs with the mouse scroll.

Generally though, I think the Dutch are pretty happy, although I’m unsure how recent political developments will impact that.

Docker integrated docker-compose a while ago, so the command is correct.
`docker-compose` is the old version of docker compose. The modern command is `docker compose` since it is part of docker:

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/compose...
It is for the same reason people prefer to sleep or hibernate there PCs instead of shutting them down. You don't want any breaks in your flow. Closing tabs and opening them again from bookmarks is annoying.

I keep tabs like production and development Firebase console, Github, Gmail, Trello, Slack, Google Cloud logs, documents/spreadsheets, Google searches, documentation/articles for features/bugs etc.

It makes my work faster since I everything I need is always available in the tab bar. Feature/bug related tabs are closed only when they are fully done and deployed to Production.
It’s funny as I think discord is actually kind of harder to get into than the old irc method. With irc there was no history or permanence so there was a relationship between discussion and what made it into the project as source or docs.

With discord it’s weird because the expectation seems to be on me to wade through hundreds or thousands of messages to find docs because there are people who hang out and read everything.
`docker-compose` is the old style of doing it.

Newer versions of Docker have Compose available as a CLI plugin, so the command `docker compose` with space is correct.
The greeting seems Austrian?
LLMs cannot perform unbounded loops (excepting some loops reducible by static analysis) unless you add a loop around the LLM. In addition, LLMs inherently have a finite input size (or a finite state, if you count the loop around it), and therefore can only compute a limited subset of Turing-computable functions. You’d have to add the “tape” for unlimited storage and allow the LLM to operate it. Given the additional loop and tape, then an LLM (or an SLM) can trivially be Turing-complete, because that only requires a small state machine that such models can easily implement.

IMO the question doesn’t make sense due to how LLMs are structured, and on the other hand not a lot is needed to make a system Turing-complete. Turing-completeness and the capabilities of LLMs are mostly orthogonal aspects.

Turing-completeness isn’t even necessarily desirable, because that would mean that the system can get stuck in an infinite loop, never producing an answer.
`docker compose` is correct for the newer (still pretty old) plugin based version of docker compose. `docker-compose` is the older standalone version.

> And it never pointed out or complained about my mistakes, either—another difference from humans.

Yeah that is a big difference indeed: a human has some notion of confidence about what they know. Not every human expresses it the same way: a scientist will say "I am pretty sure that climate change is a consequence of human activity", meaning "well, maybe we all live in the Matrix and gravity is an illusion, but from what we know, we are pretty sure". On the other end of the spectrum, some will say "I know for a fact that God exists, because it is written in a very old book". But both have a consistent notion of confidence about what they (think they) know and what they don't know.

An LLM does not have that. An LLM is not critical. It cannot conclude stuff like "I have to take into account that this text was written in a period of war and the author is not neutral, so there is probably a bias". It can generate text that pretends it does, but it remains a generated text, it is not a critical analysis. Also it cannot be offended by something you write, even though it could generate text that pretends it is.

So yeah, it can probably be engineered to never/always point out or complain about mistakes, with the caveat that it does not have an "idea" of what a mistake is. It just generates text that pretends it does.

> It turned out to be good at interpreting the intention of sloppily written prompts.

In the context of a conversation with a human (you), who is very good at navigating ambiguous communications. But if you tried to describe an algorithm with an ambiguous natural language, you may quickly have problems. And errors accumulate, so it gets worse when the task becomes more complex. Which is an interesting thought: it may make simple tasks simpler, but it's not at all a given that it scales.
Also a little naive. I mean more than viewing them as lesser human beings they are viewing them as the enemy. Obviously a bit unfair if they don't support Hamas and it's actions but that's war I guess.

Well, it does seem like CNBC is the source of the stat and they do not say it like that. One could make an inference since the previous sentences mentioned new cars.

I don't think I can find a source that supports your claim that iPhone users are over-represented in that group. There was a period where income matched what phone you bought, but these days an older iPhone is pretty cheap to acquire, and the network effects mean people are willing to spend more to be in the ecosystem.

Assuming income as a proxy, from a bit of research it seems that in 2022, 56% of "high income" earners claimed they owned an iPhone. So that split is getting a lot closer, but this is already less than the 60% we have already established Apple has in market share across the US, so that doesn't exactly support the 79% figure. Other sources show about 55%-56% iOS users in the US during that period.

To be fair, I can't see what high income actually means in this data.

The fundamental problem is that once you bought the car, the manufacturer now has a monopoly on everything they can sell you for the car.

In my opinion we should have a "no-tether" law: once you buy a product you should be able to use (and upgrade) it as advertised even if you break all ties with the original vendor. This means that other vendors can supply parts and services. This law could hold for many product categories, including cars and smartphones.
