Meanwhile management will be like “sensanaty’s colleague is a real go-getter, look how quickly he replied and with such politeness! We should promote him to the board!”

Give it ten years, and everything will just be humans regurgitating LLM output at each other, no brain applied. Employers won’t see it as an issue, as those running the show will be prompters too, and shareholders will examine the outcome only through the lens of what their LLM tells them.

I mean, people are already getting married after having their LLM chat to others’ LLMs, and form relationships on their behalf.

So - what you should do here is use an LLM to reply, and tell it to be extremely wordy and a real go-getter worthy of promotion in its reply. Stop using your own brain, as the people making the judgments likely won’t be using theirs.

ASML productivized (in a two decade process with many partners) foundational research licensed from US national labs, research which the Japanese (Nikon & Canon) were barred from licensing due to their then-dominant position.

Ah, how does that gel with regression testing?

Did you forgo testing for the sake of morale or did you come up with another solution?

Too much curiosity can be dangerous. As I child, I constantly opened electrical devices to see how they worked internally, resulting in several 230 V shocks (the notion of alternating current instantly made sense to me in 8th grade, because you feel the line frequency as an extreme vibration in the hand when you get shocked). My wife stuck a plastic toy into an outlet as a child to see if plastic really was a bad conductor. The toy had some glitter paint on it, and apparently, that paint was a good conductor.
Armchair anecdote: I have a high IQ, and I fall into that same trap when it comes to game development. It's something I dabble in, and every game idea I come up with that I can reasonably actually complete feels like it's far too simple.

But I look at the market and there are tons of games that are that simple that have actually sold copies, so I should just do one of them and get started. But something in me refuses to put effort into those ideas. There's always something else I'd rather do, for whatever reason.

I wouldn't say we wait to be "automatically rewarded for our intelligence", but I would say we foolish wait for the thing that's "worthy" of our intelligence, when we really should just get something done.

Famously, the USN had the reverse problem with torpedoes in WW2: they worked in testing but were extremely unreliable in live situations, and it took a while before HQ believed that the problem was real.

Another fun fact - it had a rotating restaurant on the 34th floor called The Top of the Tower, which was operated by Butlins, and made one revolution every 23 minutes, but was closed in 1971 following a bombing[0]. Apparently there was talk of reopening the restaurant for the London Olympics in 2012 (not clear whether it would have rotated or not) but this didn't happen. Will be interesting to see if the hotel gets the rotating restaurant working again after all this time.

My in-laws have a fairly high end Sony smart TV (Android TV based) from only 3 or 4 years ago and it's the worst POS I've ever encountered. It was always a bit sluggish (flipping through menus, changing channels, etc) but recently it has slowed to an absolute crawl. Any type of App or even bringing up the menu takes like 2 minutes, and turning on the TV takes like 5 minutes. Once it's booted up, at least flipping through the OTA channels "only" takes about 2 or 3 seconds, so it's somewhat usable.

My initial instinct is that some sort of hardware is failing (storage, maybe?) but it was quite slow to begin with, so it's plausible a software update is the cause.
Arguably, relying on homebrew is dumping the hassle on the user.

This is interesting. The dream of telling the computer where to end up is something I have to.

It might be interesting to someone but I used A* to do code generation to go from one state to target state. I'm not experienced with the planning community or solvers except for playing around naively with ortools.

I generate assembly instructions to move between states.

start_state = {
"memory": [0, 0, 0, 0],
"rax": 0,
"rbx": 1,
"rcx": 2,
"rdx": 3,
"rsp": -1,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}

end_state = {
"memory": [3, 1, 2, -1],
"rax": 3,
"rbx": 2,
"rcx": 1,
"rdx": 0,
"rsp": 6,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}

Generates

[start, mov %rax, (%rdx), mov %rbx, (%rbx), mov %rcx, (%rcx), mov %rdx, (%rsp), mov %rax, %rsp, mov %rdx, %rax, mov %rsp, %rdx, mov %rcx, %rsp, mov %rbx, %rcx, mov %rsp, %rbx, call minus1(rdi=-1) -> rsp=4, call fourtofive(rsp=4) -> rsp=5, call fivetosix(rsp=5) -> rsp=6]

It finds all the hidden state transitions of function calls to get to the goal.

I also run it in parallel to speed up search using python multiprocessing and do dynamic neighbour generation because neighbour generation is different between threads and I couldn't parallelise A* with my original attempts without sharding this.

The dream of my experimentation is that you tell the computer what you have and what you want it works out the correct traversals for you.

For my personal intuition programming is logistics like factorio or a factory. This is why it's called "sliding puzzle", it's a puzzle where you have to move things around to see the correct picture.

Long ago, I interviewed for a job at a company that wrote race car monitoring systems (ie displaying graphical real-time data about car & engine state and conditions). They wanted to know how I would go about developing such a system. My young green self gave some half-arsed answer and I didn't get the job (sadly. The perks were magnificent).

Looking back and knowing what I know now (having written a basic ECS mechanism for learning), I think ECS would work well as a guiding pattern. There's basically a fixed number of entities and components, and the systems are not hugely complex. Wire it up with a data input layer and a graphical output layer, and it would be a great fit.
Looking over the code, it relies entirely on that single bug.

On the one hand that's encouraging - you really need to want to trigger it, it doesn't look like a bug that's likely to get accidentally written. Even then, it required a bunch of anti-optimization barriers and stuff to actually be exploitable.

On the other hand, one compiler bug and safe, well, isn't

That is indeed the crux and the big advantage that traditional fiat currency has. And I believe that this is why crypto as a day-to-day currency won't surpase fiat.

The centralised trust and the government authority and enforcement of fiat is what enables millions of people to pay and transact so easily with strangers.

You’re conflating packaging with building. They’re different steps. You package for distribution after building.

The only way to make that stenography robust is to have the encoded message be generated with some secret key that can be verified. Otherwise anyone could manually fake the stenography into human typed messages assisted by some encoder and you'd have no way of telling if it was really typed by an LLM. That line of thinking is what makes it have to be like a signature to work like you said for "any sentence". I also think these methods only work above certain character limits. Short messages are impossible to tell.

So, it turns out that IQ only kind of correlates with success and well-being, but conscientiousness very much correlates with success and well-being. I would recommend everyone look into this for themselves and draw their own conclusions (and I won't play some google results as pokemon cards here)

Conscientousness has also been known as "grit", and is basically what you describe in yourself. I've found it is far too easy to accept dismissive, haughty people as intelligent, when they might just be over-specialized in one particular game (classwork, debate, paper-writing, etc). Recognizing this has not done great things for my imposter syndrome (am I just being dismissive??), but it has helped me feel comfortable in big rooms of experienced smart people.

Not sure how serious your request is, because it sounds like you haven't really thought things through. Why do you need to be in the US? Do you have the legal right to go the US to live and work? How will you support yourself in the first few years until your startup is earning money?

If you really need to be in the US for some reason, then does it matter where? In Tucumcari, New Mexico you can rent a 2-bedroom house for $700. One bedroom for you, one for an office, done. Not totally a joke - it's a nice climate, but in a very small, very remote town.
