Deciphered if you don't feel like doing it and want to read it here:

There are 3 basic strategies in the early game:

1. Rapid assault. Wait for a decent-sized army on your capital, then start charging around the map and hope that you are able to capture another player's capital while it's poorly defended.

2. Rapid growth. Focus on capturing territory and neutral cities. Vulnerable to rapid assault, since capturing cities will deplete your forces in the short term and leave your capital vulnerable.

3. Defensive growth. Slower and stealthier capture of territory and neutral cities, where you grow cautiously and focus on surviving rapid assaults. It tends to lose to rapid growth, but win against rapid assault.

So the three strategies have a rock/paper/scissors relationship. If you notice that a particular strategy is popular in the current metagame, you can adjust your own strategy accordingly.
In eight-player, you know there will be seven losers.

If you want to be the one winner, you have to get lucky. So it makes sense to lean towards a high-variance strategy like rapid growth or rapid assault.

In the mid and late game, players tend to be overmatched against each other. You'll have just 2 or 3 empires remaining. Usually one empire will be significantly stronger. If you are the weaker empire, your best shot to win is generally to form a massive army with all of your forces, charge into your opponent's territory, and see if you can take their capital during a moment when it's poorly defended.
If you are the stronger empire, you know you're going to win by default due to the snowball nature of the game. So the important thing is to defend against the sort of surprise attack I just described. There have only been a few times when I lost from a position of strength, when my weaker opponent managed to outplay me on the basic mechanics of territory and city capture. Areas with a high density of cities are especially valuable to take control of, if you can manage to do it, which tends to be difficult.

Amazing! I've made a similar ebooks-audiobooks aligner years ago: https://github.com/r4victor/syncabook. At that time, I chose to synthesize the text and align two audio sequences because I found texts-alignment approaches (including ML-based ones) too compute-intensive and inadequate for long texts. I see Storyteller works by aligning the texts. Could you give some view on how long it takes to sync a book?

Also, my experience was that audio and text versions are often very different (e.g. the audio having an intro missing from the text). It'd be very interesting to know how well Storyteller handles such cases. Does it require manual audio/text editing or handle the differences automatically?

I feel like the real danger of AI is that models will be used by humans to make decisions about about other humans without human accountability. This will enable new kinds of systematic abuse without people in the loop, and mostly underprivileged groups will be victims because they will lack the resources to respond effectively.

I didn't see this risk addressed anywhere in their safety model.

Gödel’s rotating universe presupposes that space is empty. Even if it could be made to work with a universe containing matter, it would just mean that everything repeats identically over and over. That’s effectively more akin to a finite-in-time universe.

Baffin Island is in Canada. Since this would be something silly for a cartographer to get wrong, I wonder if he didn't actually say "Baffin Island and Greenland" and his response was incorrectly transcripted.
I’ve been thinking about writing an AVR-8 emulator in AVR-8 assembly (Harvard architecture, can’t normally run code in RAM) so I can download a subroutine into what little RW memory the thing has and call it. In that case I would probably allocate some set of registers for the emulator’s own use so the ‘virtual machine’ would have, say, 24 registers instead of 32.

(An alternative to that would be something like Wozkniak’s SWEET16 which implements a ‘better’ architecture but what’s a better way to learn AVR-8 assembly than writing a self-hosting emulator?)

Without dismissing Bach's work (or the others named in the discussion, I would had picked Leonardo with my shallow default knowledge on the topic) we should acknowledge how biased is what we know. Not just because how we select what we should focus on, but how partial is the information that managed to reach us today.

There are no doubt plenty quibbles with the specifics. The biggest for me is that the board of directors can overrule any decisions made by Leadership.

That's no different to typical corporate governance, but we're not talking about typical corporate business here.

I applaud them for publishing the framework, and I do get the sense there are some people - senior people - at OpenAI who are genuinely concerned about the risk, and motivated to manage it to the best of their ability. But, as the recent debacle with Altman proved, if there's tension between safety and monetary gain, the latter will win. Microsoft has invested a ton here, and will want return. Those of us who've been in the tech world long enough remember the last time MS had a dominant stranglehold on a technology market, and the result wasn't pretty.
I bought a copy of this in the past few months. I had my trusty AoE 2E but learned that 3E had expanded chapters on what's happened in the past 30 years in precision amplification. Turns out I was working on a schematic for a nanovolt meter (10 kHz BW, 1 kV isolation).

I whipped out every trick in chapters 5 and 7. I transcribed the massive opamp tables into excel to get a lay of the land and was able to find even newer models that exceeded. I settled on OPA4189 for gain, OP224B for isolation, and OPA1633 for output driving / final gain. It's out to fab now.

I initially wanted to use AD since they're the local guys and I like their style more than TI (who came off as a bit culty in their recruiting). Well all of AD's designs still in production for isolation are 5V supply max. What am I supposed to do with that? Analog inputs do best with bipolar 10V. I'm not eating into my noise budget and adding BOM/complexity because a vendor doesn't feel like making the high quality parts that they used to.
The other closed networks had third-party clients historically, such as MSN or ICQ. It's not enough to say that it's closed, now we know it's both closed and blocked by Apple.

Apple could have said that no other clients really even tried before this case and it would have been true. And that will make a difference in the next antitrust lawsuit, that's one less argument Apple can use to defend themselves.

I'm sure most developers expected them to behave like this but now there's a factual proof valid even outside of our tech developers little circle, it's not just speculation.

One of the smartest things I've done in recent years is to buy the complete Calvin and Hobbes and put it prominently on a table that I walk by daily.

I turn a page a day...

In the morning before I get coffee usually, though it's often too dark and I'll come back to read the two facing pages later. Depending on the day that means I'll read a Sunday strip and three daily strips or six daily strips. Once in a great while it's one Sunday strip and some custom art -- I presume from one of the books. Those days are a little disappointing but it's still one page turn a day.

I'm re-reading Calvin and Hobbes at somewhere around 5x original speed but somewhere about 50x slower than if I were to sit down with it and turn pages willy nilly. I've been doing it about six months and I'm still in the first book of the three that comprise the complete set.

It's a real added joy in my day and will be for some time. Some of the best money I've spent in a long long time.

Indeed, he got into power by democratic vote. After that he bullied his way in dictatorship. But the first step was getting elected into the Bundestag.

If somebody promises to overturn a democracy the moment he is elected. We should wait for him to do this and only then start with the resistance?

A great achiever (much more than Bach IMHO) was Émile Littrè, the French author of several massive works but better known as the author of Dictionnaire de la langue française.

Read the first paragraph of the letter: “a safety recall which will be conducted pursuant to Federal law for the product(s) listed below“

That might sound a bit stilted but that’s because they are recognizing and complying with federal law, where the term “recall” is used for the process where a manufacturer fixes each vehicle affected so they’re safe to operate, at no charge to the owner, or buys it back. That specific per-VIN notification and tracking process is call a recall irrespective of whether it involves your vehicle going to a repair shop, the manufacturer sending a technician to you, or a remote software update – they simply need to show that the vehicle you purchased was verified as safe.

I believe you said

> any nontrivial program will have unsafe somewhere, and unsafe can cause failures arbitrarily far away from the incorrect code

But the point I was trying to make is that this claim is facially true but misses the critical context: in idiomatic Rust, the unsafe keyword is not the barrier that enforces integrity of the system.

The integrity of the system is enforced by the type checker, the same way it always is. The unsafe annotation alerts the reader that there exists an invariant the compiler can't check. Idiomatic code will have a SAFETY comment above describing the invariant. It should be locally possible to reason about how the type abstraction used to encapaulate truly enforces that invariant.

This is what Rust people are talking about when we say wrap unsafe code in a safe abstraction. If we do it right, it's no longer possible for spooky action at a distance.

Now you might go and point out the fallibility of humans and all that, and you'd be right, but that's in fact what makes it so valuable to try.

Society - with brief exceptions - lived with almost no growth for most of its existence. Since around the 1800s, the utilization of fossil fuels and industrialization, we have been living in such an exception. Eventually, things will revert back to the mean. In the meantime, the higher our society rises and the more it overconsumes the harder the adjustment will be.

You have to invest some time into making it able to solve speicifc kinds of problems. I haven't used AutoGPT in a while because I'm working on my own agent.

That it spent an hour figuring out it wasn't running on a Debian based system means it obviously didn't have a very good way of challenging its own assumptions. With GPT4 there's really not an excuse for an autonomous agent not to be able to challenge its own assumptions when things go wrong, I have no idea of AutoGPT is good at that sort of thing, I suppose it depends on what direction their team is pushing the development.

Isn't the main point of trim to configure the plane's pitch stability to maintain the appropriate angle of attack, and any effects on arm fatigue more of a side effect?
Russia's been attacking Europe for a long time now. Not all attacks are kinetic. From using Wagner to destabilize the middle east and Africa, leading to mass displacement of people towards Europe, to cyber and economic gambits.
1. It’s not a single interested party. What I called military studies were by at least 3 completely separate groups. The Navy, the Air Force, and NASA. There have also been studies by the EPA, and “disinterested” academic groups.

2. There aren’t dozens of positive studies. There are a handful by 1 or 2 research groups.

There was a meta analysis in 2020 looking at only the academic literature (so excluding military studies). It found that for every positive result there was at least 1 negative one.

Here’s a good walkthrough of that paper.

> History is written by the victors

No it isn't, history is written by people looking at old documents. Losers write a lot of history as well since it isn't like the victors go and kill all the losers or burn down all their documents.

> The greatest achiever of which work reached us, by the criteria that we pick, of the things we know today, and the "we" changes from culture to culture.

Yes, the history taught to us depends on where we live, not who won back then. If you are in country A they will say their glorius wars conquered B, if you are in country B they will say the tyranny when ruled A was a horrible time. History wasn't written by A, both sides gets to write most of the time.

>It is very sad that people believe in this. Why is growth needed to prevent a regressive dystopian society?

How are we deciding what gets made and for whom? Does democracy get to decide if you deserve a new car? Does a bureaucracy get to decide?

Lets cover an economic concept quickly, given options, people will trend towards rational self interest. If two people agree to a deal voluntarily, they must each believe that trade increases their subjective well being.

In a market system, people can aquire goods and services in proportion to the value they create for others. It isnt decided from way on high, it is the product of a complex social system and the choices we make in it. Since we can assume that people will trend towards their rational self interest, the economy will grow simply as a byproduct of the individuals involved having their needs met.

To have degrowth, I have to question what measures are required to so disrupt the natural order of markets. Now, there are ways, you could use the law to restrict peoples options both legally and economically, but that is dystopian and regressive. Any governing body given the power to decide what goods and services others are entitled to, are violating those individuals human rights to things like free association and autonomy, and are guarenteed to be captured by entrenched interests.

If you just think people are too wasteful and careless, I agree, but I think you need to dig a bit deeper at why people are acting this way. You cant effectively save dollars for the future, and the stock market is a casino; I think people waste because the concept of saving has been turned into a charade. I'll lose it gambling on an auto industry that looks ready for bankruptcy, or lose it when my short position gets blown out by a bailout, and itll be worthless when I need it if its in the bank, so ill buy a new $300 couch and plan to replace it in a couple years.
