> Before I had gaming hardware I wasted the exact same amount of time by re-reading books and comics, and it was quite immersive.

If so, you are in the minority. For most people, it is easier and more natural to put down a book and go do something else, than it is to quit a video game. Media consumption metrics seem to corroborate this.

> That sounds an awful lot like the good old "why do we build space rockets when people are starving".

If you want to simplify the article this way, sure, but then it's "why do we build ever-more immersive entertainment when we could build space rockets or try to address starvation". I think there's a difference. (And of course, even then we're losing all nuance of the actual article, but I guess there's no way around that.)

Are you talking about the (opt in) accessibility feature where you can get visual notifications when your doorbell rings and things like that?
There is a general license in islamic theology that when it comes to life and death situations you are allowed to break almost any of the rules temporarily (survival overrides close to any other religious obligation/rule).

This includes eating pork and drinking alcohol (say if they are the only food beverages available, or if you need to drink alcohol to manage exceptional medical conditions). So it is likely you can make an argument for alcohol as disinfectant if it is the only one available with its impact/cost.
The 50K document reads per day limit for firestore was reached.
It is now the start of a new 24 hour cycle so lets see how long the next 50K lasts haha.

I am not sure how much of the 50K reads is inefficiencies in the number of requests I am sending every time someone visits the gallery view, or if it is just a true reflection of the traffic to the page after posting here...
It really depends on how your body and mind react to the drug. While I can consume and deal with large amounts of LSD, I can't take a single Wellbutrin without freaking out. Couple hits of weed is same way to a lesser extent. As far as Xanax, all I remember is passing out and waking up feeling like someone beat me with a hammer all night. Amphetamines, I can't get enough of. Coke, never tried it because it sounds like everything I'd love too much.

Different minds and bodies react differently.
Nothing a dev tools session couldn’t fix :-). Copy outer HTML.
Motivation is funny like that. I've struggled to work through a paper I didn't even want to understand but had to write an assignment about on an A4 eInk tabled or using the perfect note taking setup, but I've also read a full book and 10k+ words blogposts on my phone or filled in a PDF crossword by placing single-letter text boxes in preview on my mac.
I rather miss this style.

Back in my younger days, I had admin privileges on a UT2k4 server. There was usually a nice group of regulars around. If I was playing and one of the regulars reported someone suspicious I could go into spectator mode, watch through their point-of-view to make sure, record it to a demo file for evidence, and then immediately ban them.

Beyond the community of regulars on our own server, we had good contacts with admins on other servers that catered to a similar gamestyle. We'd regularly exchange ban-lists with them. (I.e., there was kind of a meta community of server operators.)

I realize that that doesn't scale the same way as modern approaches, but the modern approaches also feel like they're trying to use technical means to solve a social problem.
Something I should have probably addressed in the article but didn't get to it for brevity: there are at least two kinds of immersion, and people tend to conflate them. (I'm not immune to this.)

There's intellectual immersion. Flow. You can be intellectually immersed reading a book or playing chess.

Then there's sensory immersion. Put a VR on, you're immersed this way.
I think this is more comparable what we accept in the nodejs ecosystem. Shrug a million dependencies. Let’s trust it.

> Red tape is an idiom referring to regulations or conformity to formal rules or standards which are claimed to be excessive, rigid or redundant, or to bureaucracy claimed to hinder or prevent action or decision-making.

I believe red tape also falls into that definition. It's fine if you disagree.

> but given enough time you can multiply any numbers, while LLM has fundamental inability to learn algorithm.

GPT4 at least knows the algorithms - many alternative version - and will follow them. What it won't do, just like most humans, is take the time to go over it and review each step for possible errors without further prompting and inducement.

Yes, humans could. Most humans don't, without outside pressure. With pressure applied and LLM will too.

Again, this is an example of how people overestimate how humans do in the same condition.

I would suggest you look up some studies on numeracy - sure, most people can learn if put through enough pressure, and good humans would do well against currebt LLMs, but average adult human numeracy is shockingly poor.

Consider if you would question people's ability to reason in general if you find a few examples of humans who do poorly at it.

It is fascinating when people compare LLMs this way against some platonic ideal of a human without considering that many of the failures of LLMs to stick to the prompt occurs in humans too. E.g. when you argue a human could do something with enough time, you leave out the effort you'd need to expend to convince said human to do so, and follow your instructions carefully enough.

Yes, there are still plenty of conditions where humans can beat LLMs given sufficient inducement, and even in many cases easily. But that is a very different subject.

> this is a not good quality discussion, such claims should be expressed in the form of some research results: describing what you do exactly, how data has been obtained, verified for correctness, what is complexity of your NFAs etc, otherwise I personally have hard time to judge how indicative your claim

I'll happily do that if you do the same for your unsubstantiated claims first.

Otherwise you can simply actually try to ask ChatGPT about these things yourself, and then try to ask a random person about them.

There's a lot to say about how the right took over large parts of Christianity in the US. It seems to have been in the right backwater of the counterculture and very much on purpose. Before, Christians in the US were very much like Christians in the rest of the world. Taking care of the poor is a central tenet of Jesus' teachings.
They're not moving the goalposts because the goalposts were never where you thought they were. There's nothing wrong with proposing a study such as yours but if you don't anticipate all the possible influences on your study then you'll only end up with data which is (potentially unknowingly) incorrect.
Is it just me or is this a completely ludicrous position? And under IEEE’s name? Data breaches happen at the largest and best protected holders of data. How on earth can the author expect, then, closed AI to remain so forever?

This just seems like such an absurd take but I’d gladly hear how reasonable minds differ.
Misunderstanding this fact that you described makes its rounds here in Germany every 2-5 years with media claiming that moderate drinking is good for your health because the mortality of the „no alcohol“ group is higher even though as you pointed out it includes more sick persons.
Lightness races in orbit.
Alternatively, alcohol in low doses is healthy. Humans have been drinking alcohol for most of recorded history, it stands to reason that we'd have developed some sort of tolerance/affinity for it.
I've dealt with this on Windows and Linux, and on Linux it was even worse. There I usually had to turn it off altogether.

It was never an issue on Macs for me though, even before "retina" resolution was a thing. Which by the way turned out to be a genius way to solve the issue, even though people didn't realize at the time.

However, I also remember that many people just didn't notice or didn't care. Completely fuzzy display and they just thought that was how it was supposed to be. In the XP era, people would just set the screen resolution lower to something like 800x600 to trade subpixel fuzziness for regular fuzziness.

VGA cables and later cheap VGA-DVI adapters didn't help either. You got VGA fuzz plus subpixel fuzz, total mess. Fun fact: Just last year I sat down at a shared desk at work and noticed a slight fuzziness, and after some investigation saw there was a USB-C dock -> VGA out -> HDMI adapter horror-show going on. Nobody noticed!

Yeah, seriously. Are they just being complete dicks for no reason? Only alternative is they want to deprive her of Unemployment or something, making them even worse people.

My position, as expressed in my only comment in this entire sub thread, is that you should read more on the subject.

ChatGPT knows how to multiply step by step without either of those, but like a human, who'll be annoyed and usually sloppy if you ask them to do things step by step instead of taking shortcuts, you increasingly need to push it to get it to do so with care.

The irony of these objections is that people speak out of a "but we learned to do that at school" way of thinking, often on the basis of above average skills, rather than considering that while most people maybe could (I'm not convinced), most people won't do it step by step unless you really goad them into it and pay attention that they don't skip or gloss over steps.

> nope. total BS.

It’s not total bullshit, whatsoever. I’ve known a good few Muslims, who would not use alcohol, as either a disinfectant, or topical liniment - due to their Wahhabi interpretation, of the Quran.

There’s a whole thread, from over a decade ago, on a Kung Fu forum, where a “revert” went into depth, about why he could not purchase, or create a bruise liniment, from ethanol, because he claimed it went against the Quran. This despite the fact, the end product would be highly poisonous, and thereby de facto denatured…

I’ve also trained with people, who would only use liniments made from vinegar, as the base, for similar reasons.

So yes - some Muslims, will not use any alcohol products, whatsoever, for any reason!

For music there are already similar mechanisms in place in many countries - in Poland it's ZAiKS, in US it's ASCAP. They collect fees from organisations playing copyrighted music publicly.

(I agree that it would be terrible if they began enforcing other copyrighted content and for training purposes, because it would lead to centralisation)
Wouldn’t most of the compute be on the GPU anyway? So the specifics of the ARM instruction set implemented on the CPU cores don’t matter very much.

Maybe the M2 GPU is also better at bfloat16, but the author admits to not having researched this. So I wouldn’t make any far-reaching conclusions based on this one difference in the CPU instruction set.

Open source often evens the field, and sometimes forces competitiveness into the general market. People become more aware of what's possible (good and bad, and what to expect), and corporations cannot be trusted not to use those tools in harmful ways in any case, just see OpenAI recently giving up on that prohibition for "weapons development" and "military purposes". "Pause all new releases of unsecured AI systems" only benefits them and bad actors that do not care about adhering to rules and will find ways around them, all of those points seem a wishlist for entities that want to regulatorily capture the market, appointed to endlessly produce "risk assessments" that do not reflect reality and only stall progress for the average person.

I agree with you, but at the same time I find myself having to relearn interfaces all the frigging time anyway.

I get it, I can't expect to get into "the zone" without investment into detailed and up-to-date knowledge of my current environment, and any relearning is at best merely incremental and at worst a brand new trend that is (or will become) widespread enough to be unavoidable.

But I can't stop envying the superficially "naive" stoicism of those waning generations who only wanted some kind of glorified typewriter and anything else they've got along the way is still gravy on the top.

My first encounter with IEEE was when I started in an "Engineering" college in India, and saw professors writing dubious "research papers" on IEEE venues (IEEE eXplore ?) for stuff any worthy software engineer would come up with in 20 minutes. These shitty professors also had some sorts of "Memberships" in IEEE, despite not knowing shit about anything in CS.

At that point I thought IEEE was a mostly money-grabbing organization. This was more than half a decade ago.

This doesn't sound right. The argument is that it's ISA doesn't support bfloat16 but the neural engine does support float16. They seem to think bfloat16 is a better format which isn't really true. float16 is better, it is just more expensive to convert to/from float32.

I paid for TailwindUI and Flowbite but I actually like DaisyUI the most. They're all TailwindCSS based. The difference is that DaisyUI is more like Bootstrap in that they create complete CSS components you can apply using a single class. Flowbite could be higher quality for the money, e.g. there is a "Navbar with multi-level dropdown" that doesn't really work that well on mobile. They're also using JS for dropdowns where DaisyUI is relying on pure CSS.
Indeed. But if the features are common, more maintenance is the only problem.
Quoting from the AGPL:

"To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying."

"You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:"

I think you would have a very, very hard time arguing that you had conveyed the source under this definition.

This is like paying a parking ticket on a credit card, charging it back, and then arguing that it's paid because you sent the money.
