I appreciate that you tried to provide an answer. Unfortunately there's just no way to satisfy the leftists when they ask you to define words for them. The thing is these people are never genuinely interested in defining a word, it's all just a sick game of rhetorical wordplay where criticisms are deflected by muddying the waters.
I'd guess that they probably do see the consequences, but we don't. The one thing that a company in this situation really doesn't want is more attention. So they make the problem go away as quietly as possible, and if they're going to fire anybody for it it happens months later.
I dont know if you are serious or not, but i am thinking about it more than i should. I keep dreaming of a united western world equal in scope and power. Right now it seems like the US is the only country that gets anywhere near the empire’s might but would be great to simply do what should be done and unite all aligned nations in a way that also respects diversity among cultures and ways of doing things. Free europe is already dependant on the US for security and the natural path is to get even closer.

A fun metaphor. A SPA-inclined team/consultancy/department will retreat to their motte when necessary. They'll live to fight another day. Given a chance, they'll return to the bailey, advocating for SPAs under a relaxed standard.

Using this metaphor can imply significant disingenuity: a lack of honesty about one's true belief.

This exactly. Whatever the motive, whomever fully realizes that this address is watched with a very fine tooth comb and simply isn't possible to go unnoticed.

Why the expenditure? Someone above basically said marketing -- marketing Bitcoin so headlines hit the masses and maybe get some sort of ball rolling again. I think it's safe to assume there is a larger plan in the works and whomever responsible has played their hand and now hopes the cards fall as they projected, for whatever ends.

This is argued extensively in the lawsuit document.

A key argument the NYT is making is that part of the definition of fair use is not producing a product that competes with the original.

They argue that ChatGPT et al DO compete with the original, in a way that harms the NYT business model.

One example they give: ChatGPT can reproduce recommendations made by the Wirecutter, without including the affiliate links that form the Wirecutter's main source of revenue - page 48 of https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2023/12/NYT_Complaint_Dec20...
Hm... What about a fractal shape with no right angles? Is that feasible? Or do you just approximate it with a fractal arrangement of rectangles?
It isn't that simple.

Elon Musk publicly and falsely accused someone of being a pedophile and skated on it. Donald Trump publicly bragged about being able to sexually assault women, and it got him more votes than he lost. I guarantee you nothing will happen to anyone named on the Epstein list. People at this level of power can't effectively be blackmailed, because social (and most legal) consequences simply don't apply to them. Certainly not over something as banal as drug use.

This isn't the 1940s, everyone already assumes that every rich powerful asshole is doing cocaine every week off the naked back of a new kept boy they rented from Thailand with mafia money. No one cares.
I think this is the wrong take, for the following reasons:

- There is no reason to assume that the learnings from the 50 crashes weren't also applied to the newer model. In fact you'd expect that they all were.
- Faults in a new design are likely to be front-loaded, meaning most of the crashes would have happened earlier than later. Therefore the new model seems to be a much safer design if it flew 10% of the miles without even 10% of the crashes (actually 0%).
> And while I'm totally an armchair scientist here, what comes to mind immediately is that the resources needed to describe such a system analytically would grow exponentially with a very high value of that exponent.

Yes, this relates precisely to Stephen Wolfram's notions on "computational irreducibility." For humans, it is an impossible project. For machines, it is perhaps possible, but we humans would not comprehend it.
I think this sort of misses the point - LLMs aren't trained on data so that they have the collective knowledge of our civilization; they're trained on it so they understand language.

One thing I've noticed increasingly with ChatGPT is that if you ask it for facts, it almost always searches the web first. This seems like the right way to go - pull the collective knowledge of our civilization from the internet, then use the training on language to put it in the form most useful to the asker. This also enables quoting (though it doesn't generally do that, preferring to paraphrase and give a citation, which seems fine to me).
The bar for humanoids to succeed may seem low, but think about how we are like 10 years into "FSD next year for sure". In that case, the car already exists! All the computer needs to do is steer/brake an existing automative frame using vision & compute.

A humanoid robot needs to essentially deliver the navigation ability that FSD has failed to do, as well as a new robotic humanoid frame. The frame hardware & nav software needs to navigate tighter spaces, with tighter precision (fractions of inches rather than feet) in closer contact with flesh&bloods easily damaged humans (within inches of us rather than multiple feet away on a sidewalk).

Think about yard work. Even a half decent yard service has a half dozen bladed tools they wield around your yard. What is your risk appetite for a robot to wield those autonomously around children/pets/neighbors/wildlife/you.

Most industrial robots disable themselves if humans are anywhere nearby and a lot of accidents happen when that system fails. It is going to take a lot of confidence to put robots into homes.
Even a blade of grass has worth to a grazing animal, but I respect your comfort. I do identify with your frustration of being exploited and manipulated by the powerful.
I specifically took the example of a (physical) $10 bill. You can definitely tell apart two different $10 bills. They have serial numbers, for example. They're different physical objects.
This is the sort of question I would ask of the export route (vs the much preferable self-host route), thanks for testing it out. If one could export office formats, e.g. docx for docs that'd probably be the best.

The more I look at this app the more I'm impressed, though.
This has nothing to do with personhood of software. Restricting the freedom of human beings, which includes the ones that run companies, based on the tool they choose to use, without the basis of obvious direct harm, is questionable. The fact that AI can operate autonomously is a side tangent; they are created by humans and, so far, their only proximal purpose is to serve humans.

Well… if you have ever supported a desktop app you know how difficult “version dispersion”, users that never update their OS, users that always update their OS, different hardware, other hostile software, etc. can be. If you know, you know.
> There’s nothing that a therapist can tell me that I don’t already know…

Also known as arrogance.

From your many statements in this thread, you seem to be articulate and, if your cited accomplishments are truthful, generally successful. But your presumptive posturing, bordering on incurious, and projections on others for perceived failures suggests that you’re likely underestimating just how much you don’t know. “Intelligence” is a nebulous concept that manifests in a variety of ways that can be frequently difficult to pin down. Humility and the capacity for making honest evaluations for one’s own limits is a distinct form of emotional intelligence that you might find can enhance the more conventional notions of intellect that you seem to possess.

Things like higher education and therapy are not necessarily designed to imbue you with wholly novel information and experiences, absent a considerable amount of initiative and work from within. They are frameworks for providing the tools so you can achieve your potential. Nothing is perfect, you might very well find that they sometimes fail in that effort, but you are responsible for putting forth the good faith efforts to engage with these tools if you wish to achieve the success that they can facilitate.

That’s my perspective, anyway, and I wish you all the best on your path.
I feel like intent is totally relevant. Somebody can outright use a racial slur and people will argue it is not racist if it was not said with racist intent. Enough people think intent is important for intent to be important.
I'm curious what you're reading into what Hrefna said to make you believe that the protocol is a mess. If there is such a thing, it's mostly due to many fediverse developers trying to maintain interop with Mastodon, which leads to innumerable quirks that one needs to be mindful of.

Why do you think another protocol which has barely any implementations at the moment would be better when confronted with the same problem: many developers, interpreting some things in many ways?
I didn't see NYT allege that - their lawsuit explains pre-training pretty accurately I thought.
There's many notions of "prediction" and "generalisation" -- the relevant ones here, which apply to NNs, are extremely limited. That's the problem with all this deceptive language -- it invites people to think NNs predict in the sense of simulate, and generalise in the sense of "apply across different effect domains".

NNs cannot apply a 'concept' across different 'effect' domains, because they have only one effect domain: the training data. They are just models of how the effect shows itself in that data.

This is why they do not have world models: they are not generalising data by building an effect-neutral model of something; theyre just modelling its effects.

Compare having a model of 3D vs. a model of shadows of a fixed number of 3D objects. NNs generalise in the sense that they can still predict for shadows similar to their training set. They cannot predict 3d; and with sufficiently novel objects, fail catastrophically.
tl;dr: Go's GC triggered each time the heap allocation size doubled, so they allocated a 10GB byte array in main() to delay garbage collection until the rest of the program allocates 10GB more. And because that 10GB buffer is never actually accessed it's only a virtual allocation.
The key distinction here seems to be that it uses an in-core database (SQLite), whereas a Go project may depend on an out-of-core database like Postgres, which would then also have to be deployed.

For many projects (especially hobby projects where downtime is tolerable), the former is probably quite sufficient.
Hoare is so much more readable than Milner as well, which I think accounts for a large part of why the pi calculus gets ignored.

I was at Loughborough and we had to do real time systems using occam . . . it was great! The problem with occam (and transputers generally) is they are a bit too static at build time, and so are very fault intolerant, which isn’t great in many real world applications. Consequently I tend to think CSP works in the small and the Actor pattern is better in the large.

> Adelie is basically alpine but with a much bigger desktop focus. That's its raison d'etre, to stick with the French :)

I think it would be helpful for this to be mentioned more prominently on the webpage. Maybe it is and I haven't spent enough time on the website.

The Adelie webpage should be a bit more technical in nature IMHO -- the front page seemed more targetted at managers than developers. Sadly, the Adelie website feels a bit generic in its current state -- there are so many "corporate" websites like this.

Home pages of Alpine Linux, Arch Linux etc. are ultimately useful to developers I think because the density of information is a bit higher and the marketing messages, while they exist, are not so front and center.
> Your pricing is reasonable for small biz, but I'm unclear on what "Email" in https://nino.app/pricing means. Does that mean you offer email hosting like Outlook/Gmail or email support?

That's under their `Support` section (as in, they're offering support via email).
It's a mistake. Buying a car through a dealer/sales agent is the worst part of the process. Just yesterday I saw my local Toyota dealer is still charging $5,000 markups on Tacomas and even more on Landcruisers. Direct sales models are better for the end consumer.

This looks pretty neat. When I used SES at a previous company we had to do a lot of stuff like bounce tracking and monitoring ourselves so I definitely see the value.

One recommendation would be to use have customers create an IAM role and use cross-account role assumption to access SES on their behalf. That way you don’t have to deal with handling long-lived credentials
Hi,
A friend forwarded this to me as he figured I'd be the right person to help with this. I'm a yoga monk, originally from New Zealand, now living in California. I've been teaching meditation for more than 40 years, these days mostly for technology professionals.
I have created some easy to use products for people in your kind of situation. I'd suggest you start with the app we built. www.Blisstimer.com It is pretty simple, and uses a combination of mantra chanting music, guided meditations followed by a silent meditation. You can customize your sessions, creating your own playlists for short or longer sessions. That's all free. The premium content ($4 pm) includes a 30 day "virtual meditation retreat". It is very light on commitment and time, doable for busy people, but with just enough content to get you into a daily meditation and simple yoga routine. There is also a whole section of easy yoga exercises, tailored for different common problems like like back pain, headaches or anxiety.

I think you will find this helpful. I also have an introductory meditation book I wrote primarily for my university students, but it really suits anyone. Close Your Eyes & Open Your Mind - a Practical Guide to Spiritual Meditation - Dada Nabhaniilananda (that's me )

Good luck and feel free to get in touch if you need more help. I also teach in-person - if you happen to be in California.

Warmly
Dada Nabhaniilananda

Oh, and I should add, I also teach for companies and teams, so some folks actually get paid to meditate with me while they're at work! You can find more about that here: www.TheMonkDude.com
Which is entirely possible to do under ActivityPub. It's baffling to me to think that people can't grasp that servers can, and most likely will, implement server level filtering on incoming content. I doubt there's anything that the AT protocol can do to prevent other implementors doing their own thing.
> Yes. It's an object or writing. Not a person. You're arguing for giving personhood to software right now and that's crazy.

No, arguing that a human using an artificial brain instead of their own biological brain for learning and derivative creation is an implementation detail of little relevance, and dismissing personhood related arguments like "software can't marry" has nothing to do with arguing for the personhood of software. Explain how one leads to the other, because I'm not seeing it, and that's not at all what I was attempting to communicate.
What happened to radiosity ? I remember it being all the rage in the late 90s before other techniques took the market. Was it a performance matter (maybe radiosity being too complex/cpu intensive) or was it a physical model limitation (you can't simulate all light phenomenons) ?
The 90s with its apolitical cinema like Saving private Ryan or Forrest gump that certainly are not pro american propaganda or other great movies like the Matrix that do not denounce late stage capitalism as soul crushing and has no themes that could be interpreted about taking red pills and feeling more like yourself.

The 90s had a different context sure, capitalism was peaking, we didn't have the crushing reality of the post 2008 world, or the crazy chest bumping Murica militarism of the post 9/11 era. But the 2000s scare, the internet fear, the office jobs being boring/grey and soulless. The slight fear of science and progress (see Jurassic park, gattaca, fifth element), the work culture being inhumane and dehumanising (matrix, office space, clerks, american beauty), the same happened in music with grunge being one of the main genres of the decades.

All of this art was made in the backdrop of probably the most optimistic period of time, Disney had a renaissance, america absolute cleared the floor in the first gulf war, the stock market had an impossible never ending rise, pop music was happier than ever and fashion was in the most sexy, thin, in your face hotness ever.

If you only want to enjoy the 90s happiness without seeing the fact tons of counter art was being made and that our current cyniscim isn't only a product of the post 2008 economic stagnation but also comes from the seeds that were planted at the height of the cultural hedonism of the 90s then you are just straight ignoring some of the biggest hits of that decade.
> The US is funding an openly genocidal regime that is killing a child every ten minutes, saying there's "no red line".

That's your political opinion.

> Maybe if the wilfully politically ignorant could figure out how to write good character driven stories, those people would have options. But for some reason, people with good souls and hearts write the best stories... And people without them write inane drivel that fails to connect on any deep level, ever.

That's your political opinion.

I don't see why it's not an obvious truth that sometimes people prefer not to have to think about politics or political ideology. And to suggest art or entertainment devoid of political ideology is "drivel" or for people without "good souls and hearts" is baffling.
They might get away with it by saying that he can always count on some care from the Veteran’s Administration.
Ironic I made this comment just before the incident with the 737 Max getting holed in flight.
Synthetic knowledge is not bullshit.

Synthetic knowledge refers to propositions or truths that are not just based on the meanings of the words or concepts involved, but also on the state of the world or some form of experience or observation. This is in contrast to analytic knowledge, which is true solely based on the meanings of the words or concepts involved, regardless of the state of the world.

When did everyone in these circles flip flop from thinking that copyright is fake and that anyone who tries to enforce it should not be taken seriously, to thinking that it's a serious issue and has to be addressed?

I'm quite bearish on AI in general, but the whole copyright argument is nonsense to me. How is it any different than a human learning from public material in their field? My understanding is that you are not distributing copyrighted material verbatim, but a set of weights that were trained on copyrighted material. Just like how a writer reads a lot of other writers and becomes a better writer.

If we applied this same standard to human authors, couldn't we say that every narrative is actually the intellectual property of some unnamed hunter-gatherer who described how he killed an antelope to a captive audience?
Is that an actual minimalist website or is this website just actually 20 years old?
Many years ago I spent a lot of time on a website called Personality Forge, where you would create chat bots very similar to this and set them loose. They could then talk to other people or each other and you could review the transcripts. At one point I even entered my chat bot in The Chatterbox Challenge. It was so much fun to work on this thing at the time, but when I rediscovered it years later[0] I was mostly just disappointed in how "fake" all that effort was.

Now here I am talking about life, the universe, and everything with ChatGPT. It makes me both inexplicably happy/hopeful and simultaneously weirdly melancholic.

I thought about doing CRDT in the beginning, but because not every block type is text, I simplified the implementation to last write wins. Note that every paragraph is a block, so it's not like the entire page is overwritten. CRDT is still doable though.

There are real-time text cursors and block selections, but I intentionally did not implement Figma-style floating cursors that people may expect in certain modules. I thought it looks cool but doesn't offer much value, especially when you can already see what other people selected.
I think because there are some very unprofitable companies driven by engineers. You can't have an organization that is devoid of finance based drive. You need some balance, and it's not always clear what the balance is.
I see that you persist the logs in cloud storage where are the indexes stored?
