Once this becomes common, I imagine someone _not_ using AI would get some nice options:

- "One more thing: I need someone to volunteer to be on-call during upcoming holidays. Charlie, do you want to do it?"

- "Certainly! I can volunteer to be on-call during upcoming holidays. You can rely on me responding to emergency messages, monitoring infrastructure..."
This doesn’t answer my question. A container is not a VM.
>So far, all of the work on AGI has been the result of brute forcing. We've tried to develop a structural understanding of how the human brain works, and we've failed. So we've fallen back to torturing circuits into reorienting themselves into compression algorithms for human knowledge. The mechanisms that these tortured circuits used for doing so, the structures they produced in N-dimensional space to embody that knowledge -- we have very little understanding of how these things actually work under the hood.

And this is the way. (Machine) learning theory is in some way a meta-science about how to do science from facts in order to construct theories that effectively explain these facts. What you are asking for will never amounts to a short set of equations. There is not elegant theory of how to perceive numbers and this is why symbolic artificial perception, rule engines, spam detection, RDF ontologies, etc never took off. You're idealizing knowledge as a set of representations without ever reifying how these representations come into existence. We're departing a world of representation toward a world driven by "incarnations": you can't make sense of a how a brain works without the help of another brain, and this is why there is so many things being researched at the intersection of deep learning and neuroscience. I'd even go as far as considering this is in fact how brains work: they can be composed and decomposed monoidically.

In short:

>a structural understanding

There is no such thing

>the structures they produced in N-dimensional space [...] this brute force approach

This is a contradiction. I'm not saying there won't be "structural insights along the way" nor that throwing categories into the machine learning mix won't be useful, but the learning-like aspect that you denote by "brute force" is more fundamental, and in some way above the very processus of science.

I'm onboard with trusting data driven and numbers approach. This one just seems like a bad one if it doesn't account for how obvious actions would alter its results.

That's a good point. Again, even as a base rate I wonder if it's any good as it seems extremely hand wavy and arbitrary, but I can see how it being part of a multi-source approach can help.
Looking forward to watching it if/when it's posted online. That being said, a tech conference "where are we" video recording is a far cry away from an Open standardization process.

The lack of real details on this has been infuriating, especially given that Passkey advocates are pushing Passkeys for regular users and enterprise customers right now. Portability should be a blocking feature -- if it had been treated like an essential feature instead of a post-launch nice-to-have, we wouldn't still be waiting for an answer on it a year after people started raising these complaints.

The lack of transparency allowed a lot of advocates to dismiss what were in retrospect extremely valid concerns about how portability was going to be handled. Advocates dismissed those concerns by talking about how the ecosystem was still young, this was all beta, solutions were coming. And then gradually the "beta" talk vanished, but the solutions never came -- it played out exactly as critics predicted.

This and the attestation talk that I've seen around providers risks damaging Passkey adoption for years to come; it turns a technology that should be a clear and easy security win into an ideological fight about open standards and user control over their accounts and their identities -- none of that fight was necessary. It's wild to me how this kind of stuff has been handled; there is absolutely no excuse at all for these conversations to be happening behind closed doors.

Tech conference talks are nice and I welcome getting any information at all about progress on portability. Genuinely, I am so hungry for even just a crumb of information about portability, I'll be very happy if that talk gets put online. But this is all a far cry from timelines, open discussions, open calls for feedback, or open implementations. Tech talks are not a standardization process.

I mean, heck, step away from portability even. This Github issue drops the nugget that enterprise members of FIDO are now pushing for provider attestation, which would have massive implications for Passkey as an Open standard. That is a conversation that should be happening openly and publicly with public input through official forums or issue trackers. That is not a conversation that should be happening just amongst FIDO members, and it's absurd to learn about the existence of that conversation through an unrelated Github issue.

But I'm just shouting into the void, I guess. The Github issue ends with "I will send you a dm/email". So that's another conversation that will be moved behind closed doors. Well, what's another year? We'll all just wait patiently while we're constantly told that we should be using what is today a locked down, proprietary ecosystem that is actively pushing back on Open implementations trying to solve the problems that the FIDO alliance either won't or can't currently address by threatening disqualification from the ecosystem. Of course, Open providers being threatened via attestation was another thing that I was told by advocates not to worry about, but whatever, we'll all just keep trusting people.

It’s still no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
People are attacking single family homes and commuter culture. Okay, but my solution is different.

The pandemic showed that millions of us can work from home. My office was closed for about 2 years. Our stock price shot way up.

There were lots of stories about the environmental benefits. Air pollution in big cities decreased dramatically. Wildlife started returning in places.

We keep building commercial real estate and most people I know have little desire to commute to the office and sit in a cubicle disturbed by other people constantly.

I would severely limit commercial real estate building permits, encourage companies to have employees work at home via tax breaks or whatever. This will help with the housing issues, greenhouse gas emissions, decrease the need for new roads because of less traffic.

Everyone wins except dumb control freak managers and restaurants that do lunch in the business areas.
Web and modern tech can be fantastic if you take away the dark patterns. The UX for booking a flight isn't complex because reserving a seat or taking your card is difficult. It's complex because low margin businesses like airlines can make more money up-selling extra legroom or travel insurance.

Take away the dark patterns and incentive to eek every last dollar from the user and the entire web can be neal.fun.
My impression is that lots of developers are now much more motivated by money than tech passion (I entered the field in the Office Space era where programmers were considered nerdy accountants who love computers).

Instead over the last 2 decades, we’ve seen the finance bro pipeline diverted to tech bros.
1. Additional waste heat produced will be zilch compared to what Earth is constantly blasted with by the Sun or which is leftover from its formation. Heat per se has never been the problem.

2. It will continue to radiate into the inky void of space the same as all heat has done naturally for billions of years, with no measurable effect on the equilibrium-temperature...

3. ... Unless we fuck it up by putting a blanket of CO2 over the Earth to trap too much heat, which is exactly the disorder cheap fusion would also solve.
Yes, there are two half’s to this. This is being able to understand the command which OK robot shows is possible, and then there’s the control of motors and actuators as you pointed out. Not needing a team of engineers to laboriously write gcode to manipulate motors is part two and is the other astounding thing here. I haven’t been following this sort of thing, so I have no idea what previous state of the art was, so I can’t judge how much of an advancement it really is.

Good question. My theory is that companies overhired during the pandemic and are now correcting.

AI is another wildcard. It remains to be seen exactly how much it will reduce the demand for developers but it seems very likely to at a minimum cut into the entry level job market.

400k salaries would also be on quite the high end for your average FAANG! While they may take home that (or more) in total compensation per year due to stock, they'd have to be on the very high end of seniority at a big tech company to have that much in cash.

>A huge reason these shared spaces are so miserable is because the communities around them cannot support them. Parking minimums and low density means that not only are these commercial properties insanely expensive, but also that not enough people can access them.

That might be a small part of it, but some of the places I'm talking about have been there for 30+ years. And they were better before, when the population was even less dense than it is now. Culture plays a HUGE part in this stuff, and I think much bigger than any parking minimums or housing densities. Compare NYC at the various decades over the year to see an obvious example. There are decades where NYC would be a nice place to live if you're a urbanite, and others where it would have been absolutely miserable no matter how much you like high rise tenements.

And my personal feeling is right now the US as a whole is going through a down turn with respect to public behavior and pride, and as a result people want their own versions of these things. I think one place where density does have a factor is in being able to support multiple versions of something. You don't want your local theater servicing 10,000 people. You want the scales to be tilted more towards 100 theaters servicing 100 people each. Both for variety but also because each can serve the specific desires of a specific clientele. Part of the problem with shared spaces is you can only be so much to so many people before either you're not what they want when they want it, or you're so diluted that you're not what anyone wants.
> * You believe the above, but think a government cannot (or should not) regulate companies operating in its jurisdiction for those aforementioned purposes.

Another way to word that is: You don't believe that the millions of people voluntary using the app are useful idiots who need to protected from themselves via government force. More likely is that the government has deemed the platform uncontrollable/uncensorable because of its foreign ownership.
Right so in general I can see this in use by development teams itself cuz we don't want to sit there and manually write tests.

I'd love to tell it to just log in to my own website, click on certain pieces of functionality and repeat that. Especially with more casual day to day tasks.

Heck, we could even auto-generate tests from a bug report (where the steps to reproduce are written in plain english by non-technical testers).

That means less time for a dev to actually reproduce those steps, right?
Are you perhaps being sarcastic? Because it's a great scene. The whole movie's great on the same basis. It's classic film that has the authentic feel of the period, for those who weren't alive then, and lets people simply experience what's happening on the screen.

The devices you mention are what makes most movies unwatchable. The over the top and increasingly forced devices used to essentially manipulate the viewer, lest there's any ambiguity as to what they "should" be feeling. No room for subtlety, just shove it down the viewer's throat.

They're a great alternative to fine acting, directing and cinematography that's able to speak for itself.
I wouldn’t say bad as I would maybe say sub-optimal but unavoidable - assumptions have to be made. I’m assuming the ‘bad’ comes from the cumulative ‘microagressions’ to which I would prefer people just toughened-up a whole lot.

Quite often the person asking questions is a newcomer and is on the path to making the same newbie mistakes we all made when we started. Knowing what question to ask is half the battle.

I got pulled into HR by a young intern for not answering her stated question and instead suggested she was taking the wrong approach and offered an alternative approach. It was clear to all involved that my assumption was indeed correct but she still took it as a condescending slight. It seemed like to me she was looking for reasons to take offense.

I stopped helping her or other interns after that, let the young’uns figure it out for themselves. I figured my time would be better spent shielding myself from the consequences of the coming competency crisis.

Like the other commenter said, edit/remove/retry messages can be implemented by the API client already. The API doesn't maintain state so every new message in a "conversation" includes previous messages as context. To edit a message you would re-submit the conversation history with the desired changes.

I get what you're asking for though. It would be nice if this was easier. But that would require OpenAI changing their API model to one where conversation history is stored on their server. It would be more of a "ChatGPT conversation API" then just an GPT-4/3.5 API.
I feel like a lot of the problems with web UX come from browsers never natively implementing even basic functionality needed for many web apps, like comboboxes, menus, tab panels, etc. Then there's the endless layers of fiddly work needed to make accessibility work cross-platform (check out all the work Adobe puts into the react-aria project for an example), and that there's still fundamentally no browser-native no-JS way to submit a form and use the response without loading the whole page again...

> unless management is totally incompetent

Sooo...how do you measure how good a programmer is? You've got to cut $200,000 from your budget. You can lay off 2 junior programmers, or 1 senior programmer.

How, exactly should management determine whether or not the senior programmer is worth twice what a junior programmer is?

This is not a rhetorical question, and generalities like "keeps the juniors unblocked" are not an answer, unless you can give some objective metric which really tracks that. And even if he "keeps the juniors unblocked"--how can a manager tell whether keeping the juniors unblocked is worth $200,000 a year?

Management doesn't agonize for months of who stays and who goes. The directive comes down from Olympus and they have to be executed quickly so that P.R. can move on to another narrative.

Skill or mastery is not what LLMs offer in-game AI though, it's creativity, originality, and agency. Players don't primarily prefer to play against other human players because they're an "easier" opponent, but rather because they're dynamic, creatively proactive and reactive, and endlessly original.

nobody at Bluesky has a clear idea why anyone else would ever run a relay other than for the good of society ... I don't think Bluesky's own incentives, nor the incentives that they are laying out with this design, are particularly fantastic for the health of the network they are building.

I fully agree with this but I'm giving Bluesky a lot of benefit of the doubt because I think Mastodon has even worse incentives and I can't come up with anything better. (I can come up with different tradeoffs but they always leave somebody pissed off.)

Getting back to the Japan problem, I think "content we care about is blocked on the main relay" should be enough incentive to run an alternate relay and maybe a patched client. Obviously there's a bootstrapping issue there but you could say the same about Bluesky vs. Mastodon and yet here we are millions of users later.
Ok, you can adjust what geopolitical event we think it's significant. Again, since I'm not an expert in the matter, I'm likely to get it wrong, as it seems I did here :) But my point stands, I'd trust expert opinion over these simplistic, falsely confident quantitative approaches.
