The human brain is the only thing we can conclusively say does run a general intelligence, so, its the level of complexity at which we can say confidently that its just a software/architecture problem.

There may be (almost certainly is) a more optimized way a general intelligence could be implemented, but we can't confidentally say what that requires.

I don’t think it’s uncommon for people to use their phone AP so as not to use the corporate network. There are even legitimate uses like checking external connectivity.
Decades of development and successful deployment first in non-safety-critical settings then further demonstration in progressively higher stakes environments. In addition demonstration that the technology has any benefit to this domain at all.

My concerns have more to do with the technology industry than AI itself. AI is a buzzword and the technology as it exists is of dubious benefit here. We have an unhealthy tendency to deploy technology too early and for the wrong reasons. These are undesirable impulses in aviation.
Sorry I didn't provide you the comic relief that you are clearly in need of!
I'm not sure if Dell ever officially stated, but it seems like their touch bar exists mainly to free up space for bigger heatsinks without making the machine thicker or moving the keyboard down, not for the sake of usability. The lack of concern for usability is apparent in several other design choices.

Which doesn't rule out, say, a design flaw that allows the bolt to loosen over time under certain circumstances.

You might be right, but this is the kind of hubris that is often embarrassing in hindsight. Like when Aristotle thought the brain was a radiator.

I believe Go wants to support "ARM64" that just works among the heterogeneous fleets of Arm machines (from Raspberry Pi to Graviton EC2 instances) and let the programmer not to worry about it. GCC seems to do the same if I believe the article linked on "MySQL on ARM": it emits code that dynamically decides to either use CAS or LL/SC depending on the LSE support.
With a hinged design, it could fold up into a briefcase-sized package for easy carrying.
Are you also looking for backend / infra ?
>Maybe Apple, or Elon Musk, or some other person or company with a spare hundred billion could spin up a decent aircraft company?

SV has tried and failed time and again to realize the enormity of undertaking that is commercial aviation. There are less than 10 countries in the world capable of producing and marketing a competitive modern civil airliner. And of those, a vast majority are state nationalized conglomerates, or in the case of Airbus multi-country efforts. It takes almost the entirety of a country's aviation workforce and industrial capacity to maintain just one of these companies. Boeing cannot be replaced. It has to be fixed.
I don't think that deeply about it and suspect you're misinterpreting the goals of their target audience.

I don't use Duolingo to learn a language as effectively as possible. I use it because it's a super easy and an entertaining way to stay motivated while I learn a language. I would never go out of my way to take a class or watch videos to learn the language.

I don't think people are "falling for it". It does exactly what they want it to do for them.
Yesterday I was in the tech support discord for a large yc-backed company and after 25 minutes had plenty of replies but no useful, actionable info. Out of curiosity, I copy/pasted the question into ChatGPT. GPT's response was similar to the human's (~"look at the docs and do xyz") so I followed up with "did all those, now what?" and it immediately gave an accurate, actionable answer, and even mentioned an aspect I (and the company rep) never considered.

Tl;dr AI gave the answer (plus bonus material) 2 orders of magnitude faster than an experienced human. It enabled me to go and try those things, reducing frustration caused by incomplete docs, product shortcomings, and slow (i.e. 'human') cycle times in replying.

AI gets things wrong and hallucinates, but what it's replacing (humans) aren't exactly perfect either.
https://www.yourdomain.com

I don't think you understand what a URL is, it's more than just the address. Ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com and many others, for example.

However you do raise a worthwhile point in that browsers are overfitted for HTML when they were originally intended to be universal network interfaces.
Very much depends of what kind of employees they fired.
Thats a great summary!
Your level insight does not exist in most devs though. That is part of my motivation with this article... trying to pick under the hood and explore the fundamentals.
> In my mind, this kind of capability makes Rust crate safety scanning and associated metadata worthless as currently implemented.

If you wanted to backdoor a Rust program, you wouldn't need the `unsafe` keyword at all. And if you want to use unsafe code, that's fine, plenty of crates use unsafe code without anyone being up in arms about it (e.g. the regex crate). This is a party trick rather than something to be concerned about; at the end of the day either you're auditing your dependencies (in which case this would stick out like a sore thumb) or you're not (in which case there are far easier ways to pwn you).
Except the power dynamic and consequences are (usually) totally different:

Company fires their employee at 8:30AM on the spot: Employee is now without income and likely health insurance and his ability to pay rent, buy food and merely exist might now be in jeopardy.

Employee quits at 8:30AM on the spot: Company is at worst set back a bit until they backfill that job. At best they don't even notice. Unless that employee was some keystone that held the whole business together, there is no existential threat to the company.
PS5 and Xbox Series X use GDDR6. PS5 has 512MB of DDR4 that it uses as an SSD cache, but everything else is done using GDDR6. Both are fabbed on 7nm processes, and later revision PS5s use a 6nm process.

They are just entering their 4th year. We won't see a new console gen for probably 3+ years. They've barely started getting non-cross gen games in any decent number. We might see a PS5 Pro, but it won't be a huge leap.
> The human brain is the only thing we can conclusively say does run a general intelligence

That's because we define "general intelligence" circularly as "something the human brain does."
Yes, but only as long as they can still communicate and as long as there are no younger experts with comparable experience, if not more up to date, and better motor and communication skills. That puts some limit to useful age.
Keep seeing this take (just an installation issue), over and over and over again.

I think it's much worse than a design flaw.

Even very carefully-engineered systems can have flaws. Engineering flaws, once identified, can be engineered around, managed, or corrected.

I'm much less comfortable with the idea that the assembly plant for these planes could be a random-critical-failure generator based on how the employees handle a torque wrench.
It still requires a human to be sometimes skeptical of the AI's results.
Hi! Appreciate your comment, I personally think AI generated content is the future. The reactions people are having to AI generated content is very similar to the reactions to the printing press whereby anyone could write anything and mass distribute it. I think people also had similar reactions to Google indexing the web. (Note: I'm not discounting existential risk, that is real but another topic for another day.)
My experience was different. I was able to learn enough Spanish to survive in Peru for a month with just 6-7 hours in Duolingo. Different people may have different learning styles. When you're comparing to classroom, are you normalizing the number of hours spent? Of course live interaction will be several times more effective, but it's not something everyone can afford to do. It's also about goals. Duolingo isn't for you if you really want to become a proficient native speaker or be able to understand books. But it's great to learn a language casually enough to converse with locals.
'Ramen noodles budget': EU moves to end exploitation of unpaid internships
In his recent interview with Lex Fridman, Beff Jezos / Guillaume Verdon compared Effective Accelerationism with Effective Altruism in a way that was really striking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fEEbKJoNbU

> (02:29:04) [Effective Altruism's] loss function is sort of hedons, units of hedonism. How good do you feel, and for how much time? And so, suffering would be negative hedons, and they’re trying to minimize that. But to us that seems like that loss function has sort of spurious minima, you can start minimizing shrimp farm pain, which seems not that productive to me. Or you can end up with wire heading, where you just either install a neural link, or you scroll TikTok forever, and you feel good on the short-term timescale because of your neurochemistry, but on a long-term timescale, it causes decay and death, because you’re not being productive.

> (02:29:54) Whereas sort of EAC, measuring progress of civilization, not in terms of a subjective loss function like hedonism, but rather an objective measure, quantity that cannot be gamed that is physical energy, it’s very objective, and there’s not many ways to game it. If you did it in terms of GDP, or a currency, that’s pinned to certain value that’s moving. And so, that’s not a good way to measure our progress. But the thing is we’re both trying to make progress, and ensure humanity flourishes, and gets to grow. We just have different loss functions, and different ways of going about doing it.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it feels a little disingenuous to frame reduction of suffering as "hedonism". While at the same time, framing increased energy production as obviously and universally a desirable outcome. I would argue that can be worthy goals, with both very necessarily needing caveats and effort toward not perverting the original intents of the goals.
I seriously feel crazy when reading stuff like this. At best this seems to describe the statistics of the consensus of the researchers - lacking any of the social, legal, political, and economic drivers of progress for each prediction. Also, how are these "tasks" or "jobs" actually defined (and how is the believability of each respondent considered when aggregating predictions as it relates to each)? What am I missing?
The Calculating Machine of Blaise Pascal [pdf]
That is probably valid reasoning when talking about a neighbourhood mechanic dealing with all brands but it does not hold for an aircraft maintenance shop. Skipping this step makes them liable for any problems caused by failure of related parts so I assume [1] they keep to the book in this respect. Anyone here who has experience with one of these shops want to chime in? When I work on machinery I tend to follow the rules when dealing with stretch bolts since these do tend to fail far more often when re-torqued but for normal (non-stretch) bolts I do often reuse them if they're in good enough shape. I work mostly on farming/forestry equipment and our personal vehicles though, not on airplanes.

The Ukrainian air defense was not even close to modern. It consisted largely of older S-300s, some Tor, Buk and Tunguska systems that were leftovers from the fall of the USSR. They had some even older systems (S-75, S-125, S-200). So this is largely 30+ years old, and not very well maintained.
BE-4 has oxygen rich pre-burners, while Raptor is full-flow. However both engines use a fuel rich mix in the main combustion chamber.

But the pollution from either is far less than from a solid fuel engine.
AGI doesn't have to mean superintelligence/singularity (which seems to be what you are describing).
Why define AGI like that? General intelligence is supposed to be something like human intelligence. You are talking about ASI.
What about writing? With Korean, learning to sound out the characters is usually the first step, even if you don't know what the words mean. I'm trying to learn some Thai within the next 10 months or so and I heard it's the same way (learn to read first)
Wait I gotta defend my boy Keynes here. His predictions have been as nearly as well validated as predicting the outcome of a ball rolling down a plank. Just reading the first part of the General Theory correctly predicted the labor strikes in 2023. Keynes’ very clear predictions continue to hold up under empirical observation.

What happens if it's launched on a non-Pro earlier iPhone?
I think it went from naïve gaussian through LU and SVD to approximate iterative forms for the top eigenvectors/values. So a good portion of that was not computing the higher order terms that didn't significantly contribute to the results.

Hazy memory though, as it was 25 years back and I've been out of the FEA side of things for 20+ years now.

I will say though -- I was doing some stuff at the time that was burying SuperSparcs for 24 hours at a time, and would now probably run realtime on a watch or phone. (Again, a big mix of hardware advancement, reduced precision for insignificant terms, and generally optimized algos)
UX designer here. I've learned that these changes are a delicate balance between allowing existing user to remain experts while improving the retention of new users.

This can be accomplished by making small changes over time that break up all the new info a user has to learn and avoiding the big UI reveal which people universally hate because all that new learning is required at once and they need to get stuff done.

Often times its required because as a product moves into mass market phase of its life cycle, it needs to be simple to use for lots of people, which mean it doenst work great for any specific goup.

Which is why I'm really in favor of allowing customizations to the user where appropriate. It allows experts to have control over their flow and new users can enjoy the UX optimized for them.
You can always smuggle unsafe past the compiler, it can't stop you even in principle.

The totally safe transmute is at runtime, so an instrumented compiler cannot detect it (halting problem is in the way). You'd need runtime instrumentation of your binary. And even then, it's wildly impractical.

If you let an application interact with the environment, tomorrow Linux or Windows could add a new magic file, or a special COM call, or whatever it is that creates unsafe. Rust can't have a complete list of all the unsafe things that are outside of its control.

What you probably want is a runtime VM, like WASM.
io uring is similarly “fake async” because it’s also just a thread pool (just owned-operated by the kernel, not a runtime or library). I don’t think anyone has ever bothered to make FS code async, it’s already quite horrible as it is. Not in a mainstream kernel anyway. So you need to be on the FS-less happy path - properly aligned I/O to allocated blocks on some specific FSes - to get async disk IO, this automatically excludes all extending writes and metadata ops. Same for Windows disk IO with IOCPs.
Thanks for posting your experience. I haven’t tried duolingo. Do you think it’s possible that the 18 months helped prep you for classroom learning , vocabulary etc?

How intense was your classroom learning and how much time per week?

I took years of French in school and would like to learn Spanish.
And why are you doing this?
There's also the possibility of a AGI being benevolent or, what i find more likely, suicidal.
If it’s built so sloppily, will you manage to think of literally every mistake they might have made?
It depends on what kind of simulation you're trying to run, though. You don't need to perfectly model the physically moving heads and magnetic oscillations of a hard drive to emulate an old PC; it may be enough to just store the bytes.

I suspect if you just want an automaton that provides the utility of a human brain, we'll be fine just using statistical approximations based on what we see biological neurons doing. The utility of LLMs so far has moved the needle in that direction for sure, although there's still enough we don't know about cognition that we could still hit a surprise brick wall when we start trying to build GPT-6 or whatever. But even so, a prediction of 2047 for that kind of AGI is plausible (ironically, any semblance of Moore's Law probably won't last until then).

On the other hand, if you want to model a particular human brain... well, then things get extremely hairy scientifically, philosophically, and ethically.
I started doing the listen-only as well! By this, I mean I just don't look at the screen, I'd love to know if there is a way to setup a listen-only option.

I've also used Jumpspeak, which is an AI conversation partner. It works ok, but the speech recognition is... not great. But you can have a conversation and practice listening and responding. I was able to treat the AI as an uber driver and ask about places to go in Peru, and how to get there, and why they were nice.

Substack says it will remove Nazi publications from the platform
> Substack is removing some publications that express support for Nazis, the company said today. The company said this did not represent a reversal of its previous stance, but rather the result of reconsidering how it interprets its existing policies.

> As part of the move, the company is also terminating the accounts of several publications that endorse Nazi ideology and that Platformer flagged to the company for review last week.
I very likely was incorrect about the chemical processes, so thank you for clarifying. This is remembering work for a decade ago, so I'm almost certainly wrong about some of the details.
It would definitely be politics to consider them a terrorist group and not resistance fighters.
System Commander: Paying $60 For GRUB [video]
The vast majority of carriers will not carry weapons on their ships. Either they don’t want to deal with workers’ compensation when security personnel are hurt, their insurance doesn’t allow it, or the endpoint countries prohibit armed crew members so they’d have to get off in international waters.

Even if you hire a PMC I doubt they can deal with anti-ship missiles or ballistic missiles. Attack is much easier than defense.
I think you're mostly correct but while it's not been as bad as the Max, the 787 has a not-so-short list of controversies, starting with those electrical / battery fires early in the plane's life [1] and going through recently with stray tools, fuselage issues, etc. [2] Not an engineer or a pilot, but like the poster above, I'm a regular person wondering how concerned to be on at least two Boeing platforms these days.

I assume simulation capacity takes into account the data bandwidth of the processing systems. It seems we are always an orders of magnitude or two behind in bytes/words per second to feed simulations compared to raw flops. When you consider there are multiple orders of magnitude more synapses between neurons than neurons (not to mention other cell types we are only beginning to understand) -- bandwidth limitations seem to put estimates about 10-15 years past computation estimates. By my napkin math, accounting for bandwidth limitations, we will get single-human-intelligence hardware capabilities 2053-2063. Whether or not we've figured out the algorithms by then is any guess. Maybe algorithm advances will reduce hardware needs, but I doubt it because computational complexity to solve hard problems is often a matter of getting all the bits to the processor to perform all the comparisons necessary. However, the massive parallelism of the brain is a point of optimism.
FWIW, it's only the Max 9s which have this issue. The Max 7s and 8s don't have an exit in that location (too few seats) and the Max 10s require an exit door to be installed in that location, not the door plug.

It's only the Max 9s that have the option of the door plug, if the installed seat count is below the threshold where an additional exit is required.

When I started learning French (probably 8 years ago), I started with Duolingo. Pairing Duolingo with some other tools/methods, I made good progress, and before long, I outgrew it.

Last year, I decided I'd start working on Japanese, so I did the same thing I did before: hit Duolingo hard, listen to audiobooks to build up my phoneme recognition, etc. I was shocked at how slow progress was - not because I wasn't putting in the effort but because it had me redoing over and over and over again the same damn words and phrases. Gohan, mizu, sushi, gohan, gohan, mizu, gohan, sushi.

I was a proponent of the site/app for quite a while - even after I outgrew it - because I legitimately believed it helped me. Now that I've seen what it's become, I can't recommend it to anyone unless you strictly do it for entertainment value with no expectation of useful education.
Elon Musk doesn't have a spare hundred billion. Apple is one of the only entities that does, but it's not really their kind of market. Institutional customers that are going to expect gradual iteration and thorough specifications that allow independent third party repairs etc.

That's more like Microsoft's kind of market, but uh... don't give them any ideas.
