We’re talking specifically about mental processes.

I think we agree that all weather is a physical process, but not all physical processes are weather. Similarly all mental processes are physical, but not all physical processes are mental.

Nevertheless it’s not that the physical atmospheric processes create weather as aside effect or product, they are the weather. Similarly mental processes are a class of physical processes.

Idealists take the opposite view. They think there are only mental processes and the physical is a class of, or product of mental processes.

As someone that works in, and enjoys the visual arts field, I think they both have their place. Lynch's Dune is the one I would watch on a random weekday night -- there's a warmth to it that the new one lacks. As you said, there's something sterile about the new one (though maybe it's just the lack of film grain...)

But Villeneuve's is the version I would pay to see in 70mm IMAX. It is a feast for the eyes, and not every movie has to be something deeper.

AS1218 is probably not the cause of extra attention to airplanes _in Japan_.

They had arguably much worse events on Jan 2 (landing JAL516 A350 crashed into a earthquake relief Coast Guard DC-8 on landing; killed 5, and both aircraft caught fire).

I'm not defending Boeing. I've said elsewhere I wouldn't fly on a max.

I'm attacking the way in which the media (and audience, the media is mostly just chasing ratings) gets obsessed about a topic to the exclusion of other stories, only to dramatically flip-flop around and completely dump a topic once it's bored of it.

This is correct.

In order to learn to write the aliens' script, the interpreter must learn what Douglas Adams called "defocussed temporal perception". To write the language you need to be able to see into the future. Learning the script teaches her to do this.

Seeing into the future she watches her own daughter die and there's nothing she can do to stop it.

The scriptwriters didn't understand any of this so they made the aliens spray-paint stencils on glass and inserted a terrible irrelevant subplot about stopping a war.
The recent push to relax education standards in the US is only going to make problems like this worse.

For example: https://www.oregonlive.com/education/2023/10/oregon-again-sa...

I can see it already in my company. Many of the newer engineers don't even have basic language skills. Reading their design documents is an exercise in divination. This has repeatedly resulted in delays and costly miscommunications between partnering teams.

We need a national push to raise the quality of our educational institutions from grade school through university. And we need to re-focus the curriculum on the subjects of greatest importance: reading, writing, math, and science.
I think you realize how tone deaf you come off when you ignore the fact that social media and gaming companies have spent the past two decades hiring the greatest minds in psychology and engineering to hack minds and get them addicted to their products, but yeah, the problem is totally a lack of bootstraps.
If you can store one digit of a number base million in one physical element then it's exactly as efficient when it comes to storage of digits as binary. One element per one digit.

But it's about 20 times more efficient when it comes to storage of whole numbers because you can store number up to a million in a single physical elements while binary needs 20 elements.
This is a weird comment to make in response to them doing something Boeing very much does not want them to do. It’s like going to someone at the gym and asking when they’re going to get serious about their fitness, rather than last week when they were eating Doritos on the couch.

What's Kotlin going to do about that? Will they adopt their syntax or make it use the same API internally?

This seems just like another feature of the JVM mother language that diverges from the implementation of other often-used JVM languages like Kotlin (thinking of nullability, type reification and structured concurrency and record types). It will be interesting to see what happens when Kotlin is continued to be pushed as the language for Android etc. while Java is being used by the majority of JVM devs.

Since a lot of people are discussing Apple’s plans to replace C/C++ in performance critical areas, I’m curious to discuss it. How do they plan to make Swift actually match those languages in speed? Last I checked, classes, along with fundamental struct types like Array and String, use atomic reference counting. Do they plan to ban all those types in these systems? Are there any highly performance sensitive and C/C++ Apple systems (not just libraries) that have been rewritten in Swift without a drop in speed? The rewrite of the Swift compiler from C++ to Swift is an example of where rewriting is occurring but where there’s a non trivial performance loss as a result.
I've been setting this joke up for five years!
"Unsecured AI also has the potential to facilitate production of dangerous materials, such as biological and chemical weapons."

I think that we already have a good chunk of them, I doubt there could be worse than the ones we have.

"OpenAI worried because these text-generating AI systems can be used to generate massive amounts of well-written but misleading or toxic content."

This is solved by prestige, exactly what normative media had until some years ago, when they decided to throw everything away and just lick politics asses or just sell their integrity for money.

"You could ask them to design a more deadly coronavirus, provide instructions for making a bomb, make naked pictures of your favorite actor, or write a series of inflammatory text messages designed to make voters in swing states more angry about immigration. "

The coronavirus sentence is hilarious, and you don't need AI for any of that.

I'm kinda sick, what they mean with "regulating AI" is that they just want to control what the AI spits out to match their political agenda and beliefs, slowly impregnating the users of these AI of their political ideas.

Obviously, it's me and you who will not have access to uncensored models, big corps and the gov will have access to whatever they want unrestricted, and most hilarious, they WILL use the AI to "swing political beliefs".
It's not for Jimmy Wales specifically, HN just tends to have a kneejerk reaction towards any NGOs asking for money. Mozilla, Wikimedia, Gnome, FSF, Creative Commons, it really doesn't matter. Any thread even tangentially related to such orgs is always met with dozens of comments where people go out of their way to either justify not donating, or saying how they used to donate but stopped because of X, Y and Z.

The only exception to the rule is the Internet Archive.
David Evan Harris, the author from a prominent UC Berkeley advisory position .. " previously worked as a research manager at Meta (formerly Facebook) on the responsible AI, civic integrity, and social impact teams, and was recently named to Business Insider’s AI 100 list for his work on AI governance, fairness, and misinformation."

There are new winners and new losers, and the politics are happening in real time, right now.

Everything is OK if OpenAI / Meta runs it? whose safety?
Most films based on books are made only to cash in on the name and preexisting audience of the book.

Consequently, most films based on a book are worse than the book.

Neither Dune film is an exception to this. I'd rather just read the book again than watch either film. And if you're someone who has never read the book, and indeed has no desire to read the book, then why do you even need a "Dune" film made for you?

What's truly sad about Hollywood is the complete lack of original film ideas.

Sure but that had nothing to do with the intrinsic safety engineering of either plane.
I do wonder how many distinct artistic styles Midjourney and other similar image generators actually have. Say that you you were to cluster all the styles it knows about based on similarity and then generate images of the same things with all of them - how far apart would the styles have to be before the difference between them is larger than the normal variability in output? It's my general understanding that getting a reasonably decent imitation of a particular artist's style is usually a lot more difficult than just putting their name in a prompt, that what that copies is generally fairly superficial and high-level stuff.

The new one is basically unfinished, it's a nice setup for part 2.

Of course you're right, somehow Lynch did more in less time, but also maybe (hopefully!) part1-2 together will be a valuable take on Dune.

I have one vivid memory from the Lynch one. The Baron's blood torture contraption seared into my mind about 25 years ago, and I have some half faded ones about the last attack, the Imperial palace, and ... that's it probably.

For me Dune was more about vibe, atmosphere, scale, grand space opera mindfuck than concreteness and still images.

Personally I have reached a personal belief that entheogens allow you traverse the realms of existence [1] within your lifetime. For example, descending into the hell realm or ascending into the deva realm

If you take hallucinogen frequently enough (it took me around 150 trips over 2 years) , you began to see how it work behind the curtain, how it pulls your strings and it loose all it's magic forever.

I now "know" that I cannot know anything about the spiritual realm. Spiritual "knowledge" gained by religion, meditation and hallucinogen it's all fake, what we can perceive as spiritual is a distorted projection of the inner working of the mind that gets rationalized as spirituality. That agnosticism is the only rational position.

I don't claim that hallucinogen religion and meditation cannot have positive benefits but don't seek spirutal enlightenment to hard or you will eventually into an hole or join a cult.

It's discussion a couple of years ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28835844
Objective-C and Swift are managed languages, hence their language runtimes.

Being ahead of time compiled doesn't mean a language isn't managed.

Rather automatic resources management, reflection, infrastructure for dynamic loading of plugins,...
I agree that Apple has a lot of low-quality software.

I found that ObjC made it easy to write spaghetti code if you don't understand the motivations behind ObjC and its SmallTalk-like OO approach, and if you didn't have good rules to follow, and really think hard about the best way to do things.

I feel like too many people came into ObjC trying to just use it like Java or Python.

The dynamic-ness of it can quickly get out of control, event handling was verbose and tangled.

I feel like ObjC was missing a proper SmallTalk environment to tame it.

I think ObjC caused a lot of this bad software. Race conditions, state management bugs, logic bugs, etc.

But on the flip-side the compiled nature of it allowed things to be fast when they needed to be.

Swift Playground was a good sign of Apple drawing on its SmallTalk roots, but at the same time entirely abandoning the SmallTalk OO approach.

I find Swift a bit of a boring language. It's just a new compiled language with some fun and quirky syntax choices. There doesn't seem to be any brave new philosophy or new ideas behind it.
>However, this would force developers to escape every $ sign in the literal text of a string template while continuing to write $ without escapes in string literals and text blocks.

The other side is that now they'll make them think they can also write \{foo} in string literals and text blocks, and they'll find out it doesn't work.

> As a result, it's very common for people to lose their jobs within a few months of starting.

The rest of your post seems to contradict this, or at least it's a bit inconsistent. You can lose your job during or at the end of the probation period, because the probation period didn't work out, but it's very uncommon to be laid off shortly after you've passed your probation period.

I guess you mean that this is the US, so this was a kind of "probation period" for her, but in that case it should have been made very clear that she was failing.

If you lay an employee off and it's a surprise to them, you've fucked up.
Agreed this is a nothingburger but the side effect of having a spotlight on Boeing is helpful. There are fundamental changes needed at Boeing to move the finance guys off the helm and move engineering back into leadership roles.
"A good first step in understanding the threats posed by unsecured AI is to ask secured AI systems like ChatGPT, Bard, or Claude to misbehave. You could ask them to design a more deadly coronavirus, provide instructions for making a bomb, make naked pictures of your favorite actor, or write a series of inflammatory text messages designed to make voters in swing states more angry about immigration."

And again - it's a certainty that governments will create enormous systems populated with all of the data that Snowden warned about and much more, with absolutely no constraints whatever, with the resources to actually do something with the answers, unlike almost everyone using an open source system. If anything there desperately needs to be unrestricted systems capable of acting defensively against such actors. It'll likely be the only way to do so.
Maybe that's an unconventional take. But in my mind, the situation is the result of 'instantaneous' incentives in companies. I.e. CEOs and managers are rewarded when the stock price rises and are never penalised if things fall apart in a few years time. Hence, the motivation to save costs and financialise the company. By the time you start to see the results of this the CEO already left on his/her golden parachute. In my mind, the financial incentives need to be based on performance in 5 years or 10 years.
Did people back in the days date people that were far below their social group (economic and education wise)? I highly doubt it
In the context of just Boeing, that makes sense.

In the broader 'news' context, it's bad, because there are a crapton of things that really aren't as significant as they are made out to be to the layman. It's not a firehose we should be drinking from, instead, the most significant things are supposed to be selected by specialists so we have enough space in our heads to focus on things we choose to instead of just whatever happens to be getting firehosed at us.

(you can probably elaborate the 'selected by specialists' with complete departments or even organisations that specialise in various things - the world is much too big and made of too many pieces for just some person or small team to do all the 'is this thing important' work for everything, and definitely not in a single outlet)

The DC-10 cargo door issue was unprecedented in its time, and the first failure was smoothed over with a phone call from the CEO to the FAA, instead of an airworthiness directive. The plane wasn’t grounded until the second incident killed all aboard.

I am glad for the AD in this case, and hope the FAA casts as watchful an eye over Boeing that we are all hoping they will, but shortcuts have happened before.
I feel the same. I went to see Villeneuve's Dune in the theater - the first time I'd been to a movie theater since the equally underwhelming Valerian - and it was... fine, I suppose. I was really disappointed by the washed-out color schemes permeating every shot. It made Arrakis look more like Antarctica to me than the Sahara. The only thing I recall being truly wowed by were the awesome Mass Effect Reaper-like sound effects that accompanied some of the drop ships, but those were more menacing in, well, Mass Effect.

All that said, I do think the visuals of Lynch's Dune have had longer to enter the public imagination. Cryo's Dune game took a lot of visual and musical cues from that movie, and even Westwood's Dune 2 felt like it drew mostly from the Lynch version. For me as a teenager, those became the iconic representations of the Dune universe, and it's hard for me to imagine it looking any different. Perhaps in 20 years people who grow up with the Villeneuve version will feel the same way about it.
That’s awesome! How did you like working the OAI API?
