Problem is, even granted the above, that's not enough of an argument that AGI is only a matter of mechanism.

Take the analogy with pain. We've discovered the mechanism for pain. That it's e.g. some stimulus applied to skin which sets of nerve signals that register in the brain. To then say that the experience of pain is the same as the physical mechanism we've discovered still misses a key step:

what does the experience of pain inhere to, and is that the same subject as that for the mechanism of pain?

Comparing AGI and human intelligence has the same problem. We don't know exactly what is intelligent in either case, let alone whether the two are comparable. So it's not a question of intelligence per se, but of that which is intelligent. Maybe AGI, the way we are thinking and talking about it, is unavoidably tangled with having to grapple with [self-]consciousness.

Yeah reacting to files for integrating systems is definitely done, even if it is a poor idea. I don't think systemd is a good system to do it though because I doubt it could ever handle errors or retries in an appropriate manner for the system.
Nope, but I already look down on artists who refuse to integrate generative AI into their processes.
Then I don't really understand your original reply. Simply copying a publicly available image doesn't infringe anything (unless it was supposed to be private/secret). Doing stuff with that image in private still doesn't constitute infringement. Distribution does, but that wasn't the topic at hand

Illegality and wrongdoing are completely distinct categories.

I'm not convinced that most copyright infringements are immoral regardless of their legal status.

If you post your images for the world to see, and someone uses that image, you are not harmed.

The idea that the world owes you something after you deliberately shared it with others seems bizarre.
The thing I miss most from Altavista is the NEAR search keyword. If you remembered that a page contained two (or more) particular words in a sentence, but not the exact phrase, you could search for foo NEAR bar (or foo ~ bar), and it would return results where "foo" and "bar" occurred within 10 words of each other.

I think google had something like that for a while, but it never worked as well for me as Altavista's implementation.
You'd have to spend a lot of time drilling holes in a very hard material and awkwardly pouring the product into the holes. Not exactly a discreet way to destroy something.

Yes, if your company has builders that build you an asset (like a warehouse or a factory or office building) then you always had to amortise those salaries together with all the other expenses for building that capital asset.

That's not the case if you contract your builders out to build a house for someone else and they pay you for the hours, but IMHO it's also not the case (even with the new changes) for software developers being 'rented' as contractors to build stuff for others and the company getting paid for their hours.
The Zig compiler does this on purpose in some cases, iirc. Free can be a waste of time if the program is going to die in half a second from

Uh, the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were sanctioned by the Congress. Overwhelmingly. Then the people who started them were replaced, thrice, giving the problem fresh sets of eyes. Comparing W. Bush et al to Putin is ridiculous on many levels, even if the wars per se share characteristics. (Most potently, in being massive blunders.)

Yes, it's completely possible that we get to some sort of limit and the scaling laws fall down, loss stops dropping even with more data, parameters, compute. But we have zero reason to believe that is the case, currently, it's only hypothetical. In terms of what we've experimentally seen so far, it just keeps getting better as you scale them up, so to find out if you're right and there's some future roadblock we don't know about we just have to keep scaling these things to see if it works. We haven't even seen loss functions start to level out - the closest argument I've seen to that is people misinterpreting the SGD curve (an artificial tapering we apply to the training process) as a fundamental architecture limitation rather than just an attempt to use resources wisely on a given training run.

Basically, training of these models currently only costs a few million dollars, peanuts compared to the budgets of CERN or ITER, and we have zero evidence that we're approaching any sort of ceiling. If we keep scaling, maybe we see some heretofore unpredicted failure that breaks scaling laws like you're predicting. But maybe we don't, and the scaling laws (which have performed incredibly accurately so far) really do hold.
But is general uncomputability the OP's argument? They were just saying they had a gut feeling there is some "information-theoretic barrier" preventing AGI construction. Yet we can understand a lot about Earth's weather, and even do things to affect the weather, despite climate systems being uncomputable, strictly speaking.
Until 2017, I kept my resume in troff (well, groff, really). After searching a bit, I finally re-did it in LaTex.

And yet in the past, when space was at an even greater premium, code was written in all uppercase. The title seems to imply that uppercase is worse than lowercase in terms of data usage. Truthfully, it is "same case" that allows for less data usage. The case could be all lower, or all upper.
Anything is inherently untrustworthy, hence "zero trust" as a concept. You can't even trust physical things. Counterfeiting has been a thing since at least 400 BC with fake Greek coins.

That's not the case it mirrored vdevs. There is no degredatuon of the array with a failed drive in a mirrored vdev, it continues humming along perfectly fine.

Also resilvers are not as intensive when rebuilding a mirror as you are just copying from one disk in the vdev to the other, not all X other drives and recalculating parity at the same time. This means less reads across the entire array and much much quicker resilver times, thus less window for drive failure.

But don't just take my word for it. This is a blog post that go much into much more detail https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/06/zfs-you-should-use-mirror-vdevs...

It really depends on how easy it is to determine the handover points. If the grammar gives you clear, unambiguous boundaries that don't require much context to determine when to switch, you should be able to switch reasonably easily almost no matter the grammar type.

I agree it's easier to apply this top-down, though - you just call into the other parser and get whatever subexpression back, and you "just" need to have it treat tokens that can't continue an expression as the end of the stream.

E.g. a trivial top down example would be any language where IF/ELSE is not an expression - you might parser IF (condition), then call into a Pratt parser, treat "ELSE" or "END" as terminating the expression, and just continue.

Bottom-up you can still handle grammars that unambiguous fairly easily if the delimiting tokens aren't valid in other contexts, but I suspect you're right you'll get into trouble more easily if the grammars are more complex.
There is no need to frame this as "winning versus losing" regarding the many models that we draw upon.

Even when talking about various kinds of scientific and engineering fields, predictive power isn't the only criteria, much less the best. Sometimes the simpler, less accurate models work well enough with less informational and computational cost.

Even if we focus on prediction (as opposed to say statistical inference), often people want some kind of hybrid. Perhaps a blend of satisficing with limited information, scoped action spaces, and bounded computation; i.e. good enough given the information we have to make the decisions we can actuate with some computational budget.

Since we’re slinging terms around: false dichotomy.

I’m not arguing that they should have ignored it. Fix the specific issues without creating more, broader, deeper issues. The approach used wasted massive resources of all kinds - economic, social, lives, focus. There were infinitely better outcomes that could have been achieved at lower overall cost. 8 trillion is a lot of misplaced focus spent in deserts far away.

Don’t mix up the “what” with “how”. Fix the problem, but not stupidly.
This seems like a pretty pointless "arms race" or "cat and mouse game". People who want to train generative image models and who don't care about what artists think about it at all can just do some basic post-processing on the images that is just enough to destroy the very carefully tuned changes this Nightshade algorithm makes. Something like resampling it to slightly lower resolution and then using another super-resolution model on it to upsample it again would probably be able to destroy these subtle tweaks without making a big difference to a human observer.

In the future, my guess is that courts will generally be on the side of artists because of societal pressures, and artists will be able to challenge any image they find and have it sent to yet another ML model that can quickly adjudicate whether the generated image is "too similar" to the artist's style (which would also need to be dissimilar enough from everyone else's style to give a reasonable legal claim in the first place).

Or maybe artists will just give up on trying to monetize the images themselves and focus only on creating physical artifacts, similar to how independent musicians make most of their money nowadays from touring and selling merchandise at shows (plus Patreon). Who knows? It's hard to predict the future when there are such huge fundamental changes that happen so quickly!
Why would I be on the side of someone willing to go through all this trouble just to avoid paying American wages? Frankly, I would prefer you not start a business or do it elsewhere.
Depending on how you define "city states", it might just be Singapore and a couple of petrostates. Slightly broader definitions give you Malta (average Mediterranean country) as discussed and some middle income Caribbean islands relying on tourists and tax avoiders. That isn't because being a city state is so amazing every city just wished it could shed its hinterland, it's because operating as an independent country with limited domestic food production capacity is hard (even without neighbours wanting to assimilate you)

Sure, cities have higher per capita GDP than their associated agricultural regions, but Singapore's GDP in 1963 was low relative to the agricultural regions of many countries it's since overtaken, its institutions were the colonial power's and much of its population consisted of uneducated coolies performing manual labour and living in squalid conditions. And it initially chose not to be a city state!

The only thing inevitable about Singapore's growth path is that if its first government had bankrupted the country and begged to be British or Malaysian subjects again by 1970, people would have said this wasn't at all surprising given its Asian culture (not so highly rated for business acumen in the 1960s!) and geographical disadvantages...

Technically all pointers are accessible, but the issue remains that we have not logically accounted for unused resources and are wasting capacity. In this sense, memory leaks are possible in all languages. We could store every object into a global structure, and it will never be freed in any language. Thus, my Rust program balloons forever.

Yeah, that's hard because of how you perceive weight. We'd have to be able to pull your forearm down relative to the elbow, and that's not exactly easy to do elegantly.

Test clip? Fancy!

Had to reflash an SOIC i2c chip before and just soldered wires on. Some pins are easier where you have a via to solder to instead of the pin. Had to carefully lift the VCC pin to avoid turning on the whole board. Not all is lost if you break a pin: can carefully file down a bit of the plastic chip encapsulation to expose some pin to rebridge it once complete.

It's really nice to see how much cheaper ZIF sockets, test clips and programmers have gotten over the last few decades.
