I definitely love using Wise for my business. As a Canadian I can collect USD (which my shops charge in) and hold it for free as opposed to the fees my bank would charge and I don't get hit with conversion fees on every deposit. I can convert it at far better rates for way cheaper than my Canadian bank too. I confronted my major bank in person and they won't match their rates or even come close. I can transfer money from WISE to my Canadian bank for $0.66 and it takes like a day or less with 2 clicks. I also get a USD based credit card for free I can use and not get screwed on fees by conversion or my Canadian bank. Big fan here so far!

"Opinion 185: David Jackson and Bruce Richmond Should Retract Their Erroneous Attempted Proof of the Four-Color-Theorem [Written Dec. 30, 2022]"

Of course the arxiv is full of claimed proofs of Collatz and other major open problems, but there is a special section for them called GM (General Mathematics).

It really damages the credibility of the arxiv if a non-GM department, in this case CO (combinatorics) has a false proof of a long-standing open problem. I am talking about the recent Erroneous computer-less proof of the Four Color Theorem posted by distinguished and accomplished combinatorialists David Jackson and Bruce Richmond, who hail from the Mecca of combinatorics, University of Waterloo. Their proof is definitely flawed in its current form, and very unlikely to be fixable. (See here).

And before that:

"appendix:Why ArXiv Moderators (including Victor Reiner) Seriously Erred in Rejecting a One Page Gem Entitled "Five More Proofs of the Cosine Addition Formula (Inspired by Mark Levi's Perpetuum Mobile Proof)"

He wanted arxiv to reject or reclassify the flawed four-color proof, but mad that arxiv rejected his paper. In the first instance, the pre-print processes worked as it was intended to. The paper was uploaded , critiqued, and then retracted. it would seem like he wants to be the arbiter of which papers get rejected/reclassified on arXiv.
I've seen too many systems which started to work fine after replacing a PSU.

As someone who worked L1 and L2 - %he major reason for BSODs is the faulty hardware.

My favourite story on this topic is when after a ~4 human hours of diag by L1 tech, I came to the client site, confirmed the BSOD, opened the case, straithened the SATA cable and the OS installed sucessfully.

EDIT: another one is the cheap PSU cut thr power too fast on the shutdoen, so the HDD never written 'good shutdoen' to the disk, triggering the scandisk on the startup. Fixed with a good PSU, BTW.

Controllers are surprisingly super easy to work with and a good gateway to some basic electronics hacking.

I've actually gone the opposite direction from this post. I have a Neo Geo arcade board (JAMMA) and it has plugs for Neo Geo controllers (as in the controllers for the console version of the Neo Geo). I wanted to use the Neo Geo without plugging it into an arcade cabinet, so I got a "Supergun" board to play it on an RGB monitor. However, I didn't have a controller for it.

I noticed that there was an emulator-based "Neo Geo X" system out in the wild and you could purchase a controller accessory on its own, so I got one, not realizing it was purely a USB controller in the shape of the original Neo Geo ones, but no problem. I bought a Neo Geo controller cable and just desoldered the button to USB connections inside the controller and connected them directly to the Neo Geo controller cable. Worked like a charm!
If you just need Ubuntu then you can try "Multipass" from Canonical (https://multipass.run/). Works quite well on my M2 Air. I haven't tried using Linux GUI with it though as I need only terminal based VMs.
Is this sort of thing alleged to have happened at Basecamp? My understanding was that it was more politics-first activism, not a response to employees being held back by ADA violations. As someone who works in the field, I don't hear about ADA compliance being treated differently based on partisan affiliation. The ADA was signed by a Republican president, and there are many pro-accessibility folks on the left and the right.

I do understand your general point that it can be difficult to draw lines. I just think that issues like the one you raised would be handled through HR if a friendly "hey can we turn on captioning" message didn't get enough support. I've also never heard of anyone getting their feelings hurt about zoom captions.

But you're right that the people at the top will be the ones deciding what is deemed "political" and what is not. If their definitions don't match up with what the remaining employees think, there could be issues. I haven't heard of any drama since the original incident. Has there been any?

Predicting Stock Market Trends with Machine Learning: A Comprehensive Study
I find myself these days on one of these ops teams. The lead time is the same for deploying either a code or infrastructure change, and probably closer to 3-4 months here.

It's not an operational capacity or competency issue for this org, it's the result of hours worth of "sync" or "review" meetings with no discernible agenda, negotiating maintenance windows, facilitating approvals from a dozen or more parties who don't even comprehend what they're approving, and weeks of manual acceptance testing.

On the other extreme, in past roles at different orgs, I've been on teams doing multiple deployments to production every day, both on the dev and ops sides.

I find it exhausting and soul crushing being completely untrusted because of the mistakes made by people who left the org years before I started.
Luckily we have many waking hours in a month to do both.

> We could have easily built the housing we need...

If mom, dad, and 4 kids were content to share a 1k square foot "starter" house in 1970, but now all 6 of 'em (parents are divorced) want their own 2.5k square foot McMansion - that's a 15X increase in housing stock requirements. Admitting that the overall demand-side numbers aren't that bad..."no zoning" would still not be anything like a cure for the problem.

“As my employer you have no right to dictate what I do on my own time, nor should you even be aware or have opinions.”

Disagree it’s the employees job to find a job and employer that offers the right terms for you personally.

Lots of jobs have contracts that do limit what you can say or do outside hours of work.

The White House press secretary doesn’t get to go home after work and talk smack about the president on Twitch.

Members of the military can’t go and work out with enemies of the state on vacation.

As long as the agreement is clearly communicated and voluntary at the start of employment there are reasonable limits to employees even after work hours.

I love freedom but I understand discipline and limitations make everyone more free than chaos.
Reminds me of the old line about how, if the brain were so simple we could understand it, we'd be so stupid that we couldn't.

Also reminds me of an older book I read about AI (I think it was On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins?) where I first became aware of the idea we had been scrambling to create AI without first having a good definition of intelligence or deep understanding of how it works in our own brains. And when I ask myself or other people how they define intelligence, it always comes down to some variation on "the ability to solve problems", which feels deeply beside the point and likely to never produce something that "feels" intelligent.

But I don't necessarily agree that there is this special case of human intelligence that makes it impossible to understand or model. I would really like to believe it, personally, because I don't want AGI. I just don't buy that that's the explanation for our failure to do so up to now.

It seems like we ought to be able to do it, but that we're muddling in the wrong direction, coming up with an exceptionally clever implementation of an approach which cannot produce intelligence that satisfies our intuition about what intelligence is.

To tie it back to the article, I keyed in on the word 'design' in LeCun's statement that, "contrary to what you might hear from some people, we do not have a design for an intelligent system that would reach human intelligence."

In other words, that it's not just a quantitative difference (more parameters, more data) but that a different approach than what we are taking would be necessary.
Right, we're not talking about some random company. Accenture or whatever will 100% hire a Xoogler. But everyone else knows that most Google engineers work really hard "making sure all stakeholders are on the same page regarding moving this to a service to reduce tech debt" and are in meetings all day to determine which team they're "blocked on" which is a thing, sure, but not something you really want to hire for usually.

Doesn't mean that OP was correct which was what I was responding to.
Businesses these days with these dark patterns. I denounce them and immediately cancel anything when they start just fine and suddenly implement something hard to get out of.

I hate when their cancelling scheme puts blocks in front of the user so it’s harder and harder to quit. In my country I’ve noticed some have their Cancel Subscription page unavailable, or it says it has cancelled it but you don’t get email or confirmation of anything, and then surprise, another month payment, and then you have to call, and they leave you waiting for hours.

I despise this and I denounce them with local regulation authorities, then they get moving, and even then they may still squeeze another month out of you, attribute it to error and just expect you don’t denounce them again because that would be even more time from you.

But this is me... I know lots of people who spend at least 6 months before they have the time/energy to actually go through this process so they can cancel.

I’d say to hell with them, it gives bad rap to good businesses which let you cancel/pause without too much hassle.
> “The systems are intelligent in the relatively narrow domain where they’ve been trained. They are fluent with language and that fools us into thinking that they are intelligent, but they are not that intelligent,” explains LeCun. “It’s not as if we’re going to be able to scale them up and train them with more data, with bigger computers, and reach human intelligence. This is not going to happen. [...]"

Got to agree with LeCun.

You don't get to general intelligence by working with words, I believe. You need much more sensory information than that, and words are a low dimensional derivative artefact. There are plenty of non-verbal but quite intelligent species.
The RCMP is an extremely troubled police force (like many). There was a mass shooting event in 2020 in rural Nova Scotia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the RCMP response made Uvalde look good in comparison. RCMP officers attacked civilians at a designated safe shelter, failed to warn the public of the danger for 12 hours leading to more deaths, and there is circumstantial evidence that the shooter himself may have been a RCMP confidential informant. There has been no credible investigation or accountability. The podcast Canadaland Commons has an episode on the Portapique incident I highly recommend.

Accountability for police forces and other elements of the criminal justice system seems to be a critical unsolved problem in western societies.

I would disagree with your reasoning. The high turnover and a short tenure means people are not very attached to the job but more importantly it also means the drivers in any given trucking company don't know each other very well and it would be quite difficult for them to organize for a common cause such as a strike. Way to easy for the trucking company to play the drivers against each other.

Would the kinds of people who have trouble budgeting and managing their investments be any better at it if the technique was taught at school? Judging from my own experience, I'd say willpower is the bigger barrier. Thankfully I'm not in a situation where I'd need to carefully watch my daily expenses (being semi-concious of them works well for me), but if I had to, I'd have to force myself. Maybe that's too much for some.
I’ll second this. A philosophy for engineering is nestled I think in the larger “philosophy of technology”, but this field of philosophy has traditionally been a lot more critical of technology than most of us can stomach today. This is a really good map of the field that not many know about, written in 1995:

>we’ll never be able to model it

That's completely false. Neural networks have been mathematically proven to be universal approximators (https://www.deep-mind.org/2023/03/26/the-universal-approxima... ), i.e. a sufficiently large neural networks can approximate any given mathematical function to an arbitrary level of precision. Given any programs can be modelled as a mathematical function, neural networks can hence approximate any arbitrary program. Unless we assume something supernatural, human intelligence is just a program.

"Safari is not supported yet"

Is Safari really that hard to develop for? Name one feature this site needs that won't run in safari. WebKit has been getting a lot better recently, I feel like not supporting Safari at this point is because of one of three things: you're too lazy to try it, don't have a Mac, or you are stuck to the opinion that Safari is somehow behind Chrome or Firefox in major ways.

I use safari daily and *never* have a problem with a site not working. Ever. So I doubt there's some new web api that this site needs that doesn't work on Safari.
Sell your generative AI images for Bitcoin
Howdy everybody!

I'm happy to share a new solution available to resell all the misfit generative AI images being created today: https://highcontext.ai/misfits-market-index?page=1

It works by processing your Base64-encoded JSON image and creating a listing page that contains a watermarked version of your image.

After a visitor pays the Bitcoin Lightning invoice (you set the price) on your image listing page, they are able to access the raw image by using the "access_token" value tied to their payment.

There's already some incredible artwork for sale in our Misfits Market. Check it out: https://www.highcontext.ai/misfits-market

Don't let your AI images from Mid Journey, Dalle, et al go to waste. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

P.S. Here are the two keys you need in your JSON to trigger the image processor: https://www.highcontext.ai/docs/reference/upload-base64-json-images
This is because you’ve been living a very comfortable life with no real foreign threats thanks to US hegemony and the globalization it allowed. Due to other countries growing and wanting to have a say, this can’t be expected to continue going forward and so we have to think about things from a strategic perspective and not from a purely economic one.
Given that you need some pretty complex elements to be able to make life in the first place (not to mention complex molecules made out of those elements) I'd say yes, there is definitely an 'ineffable' quality that life has that Hydrogen does not (to short circuit your chain of reasoning), but intelligence isn't necessarily made of a particular kind of matter and that's where the analogy breaks down.

Your comment was about the impact of Christianity on the Roman Empire and in Europe, so that’s irrelevant, but Girard’s argument is also not about individual adherence to the ideology. Instead, it’s about the destruction of archaic virtue, premised on scapegoating and mythologized violence, as a result of Christianity. Modernity was premised on this, as identified by Nietzsche and others.
It's what people who didn't understand the separation of concerns with HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and server side were did by deciding to jam it all into JavaScript and entangle it in code complete and gang of four constructs and then call it superior, easy, efficient, well designed, robust ... It's ... It's simply wild.

HTML content? In the javascript. Style information? In the javascript. A way to negotiate network loading and resources, document structure? You guessed it. Want the back button to work again? More JavaScript. URLs to be universal? Even more!

Eventually you'll get the page to be almost as functional as it would have been by default had you not used any of it.

I usually take AGI to mean what it says literally - simply an AI with very general training. I think that description already applies to the latest crop of LLM models.

Taking it to mean some nebulous sentient entity with a sense of self, I doubt we'll see in our lifetimes. We don't even understand how our own "souls" work.

It's expensive to be poor.
Intractable and impossible are very different claims.

NP Hardness is a statement about the asymptotic difficulty of solving a problem at ever larger scales. It says ‘if you have a way to solve this problem at size n, that way will scale worse than polynomially when you try to apply it to a problem at size 2n’.

Which might place limits on the practicable scale of how big an n your approach gets to work for. But if your approach works practically for a big enough n to make AGI then your approach works - NP Hardness doesn’t matter.

And since we know that finite mass lumps of finite numbers of gray cells are capable of GI, we have a reasonable expectation that there is some n for which AGI might be possible.
