The emphasis should be on "general". The easiest way to understand this is by thinking of the opposite: we can already build AI systems that are very good at one specific task: folding proteins, playing Chess, detecting cats in images, translating from one language to another, detecting market inefficiencies...etc
But a human, the same human, can do all those things. A human has a sort of general intelligence. This is the goal of AGI. One can think of it as a some kind of unification theory for AI systems. One model that can be capable of excelling at vastly different tasks.

AGI has nothing to do with surpassing human intelligence. However, the idea is, once you have a general intelligence running on a computer, you could easily scale it to create a super human level intelligence.
> the staggering scale of tunnels that have been built to funnel military supplies through civilians areas; clearing operations to destroy these areas entirely feels defensible

"clearing operations" for tunnels involves heavy bombing above ground, which will kill civilians and destroy civilian homes and infrastructure - there is nothing "defensible" about that. Also, many tunnels are supposedly used for civilian smuggling of foods, medicines, luxuries etc - and only exist because of Israel's blockade.

> When a hospital is used as an arms hub, it is incredibly complex and costly to try and seize it by encirclement and small arms siege versus just blowing it up

Right, but that's a strawman argument, as there has been no evidence of Hamas using hospitals as an "arms hub".
I never said anything like that in the post. And I never said that writing simple code is stupid.

That's not a math problem, it's a logic puzzle

It has literally zero mathematics involved

GPT still gets lots of logic puzzles wrong.

An example maths problem that it used to get wrong but now gets right is: "what is the square route of (5943/6) times 9"
"If you're gonna do that, you better make sure you're allowed to and under what conditions."

That still doesn't justify a 150 000 USD statutory punishment in my view.

I recorded the first episode of a podcast to go with the blog today. It was literally while you were typing this. I made a joke (that is almost not a joke) about my N-2 rule.

You can say all N managers in any organization are bad apart from two of them. Of course, managers want to assert that they're the good one (and some of them actually are), but they can't if you say one person is good, because to claim that spot would be to throw all your colleagues under the bus. But if you assert that you're one of the two good ones, then they can all claim to be one of the good ones without upsetting a specific person.

This is obviously not how it works at all, but I was very proud of myself.

> Zero marginal effect.

I'm not sure how customers deciding to stay home rather than fly on a Boeing plane would have zero marginal effect. That would leave something like half of the current flights empty.

> That didn’t happen because it’s clear voting Americans want cheap flights, not a fight with Boeing.

I agree with you here completely. My point is that there is an easy solution, if anyone actually cares. We get these news cycles of topics that people seem to get wound up about in the moment when they actually don't care at all.

Where we disagree here is that elected officials couldn't fix this if they wanted to. At best they could ground all Max's for a period of time, but that won't fix the company. The government can't afford to lose Boeing, even for a period of a few years while the company gets it's shit together. Boeing has too much of an impact on both the airline industry and the military for the government to have any real room to deal with the problem.

Almost all public companies have shareholders from all over the world, including China.

While Opera might not be a Chinese company in the strictest definition, over 50% of Opera's shares are owned by their Chinese parent company, and by all accounts around 80% of the shares still seem to be in control of the Chinese conglomerate that owned Opera before it went public.

Right now, the vast majority of CVEs reported are bullshit filed by wannabe security researchers for resumé padding. Look at all the useless CVSS 9.8's filed against curl. With LLMs, even more bogus reports get filed every single day.

CVEs assigned to every linux commit are more valid than each and every one of those bogus CVEs. Each and every one of them is associated with an actual change in a security-critical project.

If you want the flood of useless CVEs to stop, you have to clean your own house first.

Morgan Housel is a good read in terms of personal finance / behavioral finance kind of stuff.

Being inside the industry, I can say this is a very accurate observation:

> If asked, “Why did the stock market fall 0.23% last week?” an average person will shrug their shoulders and walk away. A very smart person will show you their yield-curve model and valuation analysis and tell you whether the performance will continue. Who do you think is more likely to be stricken by overconfidence?

Remember this anytime you watch CNBC & the like.. they can describe in hindsight the WHAT, but the WHY is generally made up on the fly. A classic smart sounding but meaningless joke answer to the above question is "More sellers than buyers". A lot of financial media is basically this.
It cannot even explain the standard model and/or general relativity either. It's a (hyper)graph rewriting system, that they say can reproduce existing physics with some set of rules and some initial conditions.

Which is tautologically true. Any Turing complete system (e.g. Conway's Game of Life) can reproduce the physical world with large enough memory and enough time.

Palestine has been under de facto Israeli control for more than 50 years. Israel won this war a long, long time ago.

And instead of helping to build a place for Palestinians to live, they kept them under direct military occupation until 2005, then under blockade plus air raids (in retaliation for Palestinian attacks, but usually ending up with a 10:1 ratio of dead Palestinians for each killed Israeli citizen).

What they're seeing now is exactly what the French and British discovered after WW1: if you try to humiliate and subjugate a whole country, even after you have just decisively won a war against them, you'll only radicalize them, ending in a bigger war (thankfully, Palestine doesn't have the resources to become Nazi Germany even if they want to).

The only solutions to have long lasting peace are either (a) investment and openness, or (b) complete annihilation or something close to it. I'm advocating as much as I can for (a).

The GDPR didn't "give you" pop ups, it just made it mandatory for companies to seek our consent before they abuse our personal data. Many companies chose to be as obnoxious as possible about it to annoy you into agreeing. You need to rethink who you're directing your anger at.

I really liked this post and the way it was written.

My critique is that it feels a little idealistic. That might not be the best description, but it's like railing against the way the world just is. I'd love to see counter-examples of successful companies that do things right, but it feels to me like what most companies turn into is just the best of a bad bunch of options.

At the end of the day, we're all uniquely flawed people trying to work together in increasingly sized groups. It feels like some amount of dysfunction is to be expected. Having leadership flow between people depending on the problem being solved has the potential to make many people very uncomfortable day to day and in turn, erode the benefit of optimising competency for each task.

At the end of the day, though, that's why many of us tend to aim at small companies: the pain is not amplified. The advice I used to give colleagues at large companies was not to try and fight the ocean; you just need to let it wash over you. Bottom-up change is so rare at large companies that it just burns out those who try and alienates the people they need to impress to move up and actually effect change. The truth is that even at a high level very people can really change things fundamentally.

But maybe that's for the best. Fundamentally changing the way things work for thousands of people's livelihoods should be hard.
For me it's a bit of both: experimental code or one-off scripts can be a total mess while at the same time I care a lot about readability in other projects. For one it's still helpful when I'm tired, but also while I may be able to read my own sloppy code a few days after writing it that won't be true forever. Another reason is that I have trouble with very abstract code/concepts, the more I can reason about what's actually happening with data and memory the easier and quicker I understand the code. That's why I'm terrible with Haskell etc, it requires a kind of thinking that feels like a mental foreign language.
To be clear, I did not say that I support the murder of anyone.

What I'm stating here is that it is not a list of "deaths" or war deaths, but a list of "journalist killed". This can easily be used as a "propaganda tool" regarding the fact that in a lot of places, anyone can claim to be a journalist whatever its actions.

My point is that if you are killed doing the coverage of an event, while you were a kind of neutral third party, that is a shame.
At the opposite, if you are journalist working for producing content affiliated with a party, and you are yourself involved, like sometimes you are holding a gun yourself, it is not the same thing.

But a lot of persons can abuse of the ambiguities for political purpose.

The real issue is that people want to be able to smoothly drag windows across monitors. This requires that each window be able to switch to a different DPI scaling when its "home" monitor changes. Something must also be done to deal with a single window being displayed across monitors with different resolution (which is what happens while dragging) though hardware scaling is probably acceptable there at some minor loss in quality - the "proper" alternative is to render natively at both resolutions, but applications might not natively support that.
Building something the right way doesn’t matter if you don’t build the right thing. Requirements are never fully specified and it is your job to use good judgment on the ambiguous parts.

Also, you most likely think your job is what’s in the job description. That is not true. Unless you are in a field where output is super easy to measure (e.g., professional golf) your job is to make life easier for your boss and other people above you at your company.

>Today's youth are definitely not the rebellious counter-culture youth from my younger days.

They absolutely are, you have just become part of the culture they’re countering. Of course there’s conformity within a group or it wouldn’t really exist, but the main reason young people are so turned off by Android phones is that they are mainly associated with older family members who wanted to save a few bucks and substantially compromised on utility in the process. I’m in my 20s and I know this from experience, my mom gets substantially more utility out of her iPhone than my dad who’s an order of magnitude more technologically literate gets out of his Android phone. It doesn’t matter to teenagers that an Android phone could be as good as their iPhone when the optics are so bad. It doesn’t help that, for them, there isn’t a meaningful difference between the platforms beyond price and maybe piracy either. The actual movement among youth against iPhones is against phones in general, it’s a trend to use “dumbphones” because many feel smartphones are taking too much space in their lives.
