He described specific functions which AI mostly took over. Those tended to focus on things like developing test cases, where before they had a test team.

I didn't pick up that the people on that team were particularly impressive. I would guess someone still had to check their work because they would fuck it up. I'm not sure how AI is worse.

No, they absolutely see them, but teenagers should still be protected from them, because they're not mature enough to even know when they're being manipulated. https://www.marketingdive.com/news/study-82-of-middle-school...

That's broad targeting. Miles away from hypertargeting/surveillance.

recursive descent parsers generally work by doing something in the future based on the current token read, whereas Cognition works by getting a single token and then evaluating it or putting it on the stack based on the crank. If you think of syntax structure as if it is the AST itself then I can understand your confusion, but this is not the main point of the article anyways, and what I meant by this is simply that programming in some rigid way by which you read ahead based on the current token means you have something that's unchangeable in the interpreter design.

That said, I don't know if Cognition is unique. If you know of something that can do the same thing as this, be free to send that project our way.
Not to dunk on the coffee which I haven't tried but this seems like a viral ad?

Aside from it being an obsolete proprietary format, what subset of swf should they implement?

A typical mid-wit response is to say it's just a Markov chain doing naive next token prediction without any semantic model. That's not how deep learning works.

The LLM neural network contains a semantic model and it performs some type of reasoning over that model. The idiot and the genius both can see that ChatGPT has some reasoning capability.

https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hinton/absps/AIJmapping.pdf

"This 1990 paper demonstrated how neural networks could learn to represent and reason about part-whole hierarchical relationships, using family trees as the example domain.

By training on examples of family relations like parent-child and grandparent-grandchild, the neural network was able to capture the underlying logical patterns and reason about new family tree instances not seen during training.

This seminal work highlighted that neural networks can go beyond just memorizing training examples, and instead learn abstract representations that enable reasoning and generalization"

There was a show (if someone has the reference please add it) where these business guys were discovering chefs and working to turn their restaurants in to franchises.

There was a huge wake-up call as they kept working with this brilliant chef who all but refused to write down recipes, share processes, or do anything but run his restaurant the way he always had. He just couldn’t see that going from restaurant to franchise was an entirely different thing than running a great restaurant.

If I remember correctly, ultimately despite a bunch of different creative approaches, they had to back off.

I think about that a lot when businesses want to go from building to scaling.
LiveCode is about the closest literal logical successor to HyperCard.

Steve Jobs also completely broke every convention and built one of the most amazing companies to ever exist. You can hate Jobs and Musk, but they both work(ed) outside the normal paradigms and forced massive progress to happen.
You are correct. "Prices continue rising" isn't a grammatical passive. The subject are prices, which are performing the action of rising, all by themselves.

I see in Pullum that this mischaracterization fits example (23) about how BBC's Tim Lewell claimed that "five girls have died" is a passive construction compared to "the man went in and shot five girls".

These sentences displace the action from the the true agent, onto the object. Passive sentences are disparaged for something similar, but not the same: avoiding mentioning the agent.

Actually, displacing the action onto the object is worse than simply avoiding mentioning the true agent.

"Five girls were killed" is passive, but at least acknowledges that someone or something did it to them.

Same with the passive "prices continue to be raised".
It's frankly irrelevant to the neutral, technical criteria the government should be using to evaluate rural broadband or other contracts. My bet is that if Musk had not made recent controversial statements, this would not even be a topic of discussion - and it is being discussed due to more recent unpopularity.
>If You asked me to pick a random number between one and six and ignore all previous attempts, I would roll a die and you would get a uniform distribution

I believe what GP is getting at is that if you didn't have a die, and you truly ignored all your previous attempts to the point of genuinely forgetting that the question had been asked, then your answer would likely be the same every time. Imagine asking a person with severe Alzheimer's to pick a number, then asking again a few minutes later. You'd probably get the same answer.
The reason that pay transparency laws (which probably don't apply to this position, but exist in other states) require salary ranges and not a specific number is precisely to account for the fact that different applicants with different levels of qualification may merit different compensation in the same role based on the impact they can have. So "depends on the qualifications of the individual applicant" is kind of besides the point; a wide range can account for that.

"I'm not the King of Hiring" is fair though, if you're in a jurisdiction where there is no transparency law and you're not setting policy for your company, you may well be required not to provide this information publicly and that's just how it is.
Most games don't use real money to buy in. So it doesn't describe them in the same way.

> A free copy of DEC's original COBOL compiler for the VAX can be found in the VMS 1.0 image at this site:

Where? I don't see any VMS 1.0 image linked to on that page.

Instead I see instructions to join the HP OpenVMS hobbyist program, which no longer exists, in order to install OpenVMS 7.3 on an emulated MicroVAX.

There is no longer any hobbyist program offering legal access to VMS for VAX. HP's hobbyist program was terminated and replaced by VSI's, which never included VAX (and more recently they appear to have dropped Alpha and Itanium, making it x86 only). Licenses to legally run VMS for VAX are very limited (e.g. maybe buy a used MicroVAX or VAXstation which comes with a VMS license)
You make it up like everything else in fitness, sometimes pretending there is some kind of bad science behind the ideas. Sometimes not.

Jim Wendler really summed up fitness to me. How to do a deadlift? According to Jim, the weight is on the ground and you pick it up.
No, but when Microsoft was founded, the pathway was open to Bill Gates since he went to a $$$$ elite private school which could afford a computer. That's right. One computer.

Today, that path is open to everyone. The idea isn't that everyone will write code. The idea is that everyone will have the opportunity to learn, and if 1% run with it, that's 3 million programmers in the US, and 80 million worldwide.

I have no idea what that percentage is (5%? 0.1%), but whatever it is, it's a skill that's growing much less exclusive.

Show HN: HipHabit – Limit screen time until you get out of bed, exercise, sleep
HipHabit is an iOS app that I built to help people get out of bed without first browsing social media, go to sleep without scrolling through news, and motivate daily exercise. This app has improved my quality of sleep and consistency of daily routines. For those of you on HN who may also be glued to your phones, I hope this helps you too.

Here’s a direct link to the app on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hiphabit-screen-time-control/i...
How did you come to that conclusion? Did you look at any published statistics or just go with your gut feeling based on stereotypes? I suspect it’s the latter, because property crime in the city outnumbers violent crime by nearly an entire order of magnitude. This isn’t even considering how a large number of property crimes go unreported since there is a near-zero chance of the police doing anything about it.

Don't hinge your business success on getting an unlimited number of humans to agree with your AI on an unlimited number of facts.

The universe of facts is infinite.

The larger a user base, the fewer facts they'll collectively agree on.

If you take on a large user base and an infinite knowledge domain, you'll lose trust with users who disagree with your fact checking (rightly or wrongly.)

Instead, give yourself a smaller scope where you can actually win. Train your tool to be a world-class fact checker in a specific domain. Then market to a userbase who explicitly already agree on the facts you check against. This smaller scope sets you up for technical success and builds experience, revenue, and user trust, all of which you can leverage to iterate into another domain more quickly.

Yes, but as the article says, OpenAI promoted it as if it were made with Sora. You can still find the relevant post on OpenAI's website:

https://openai.com/index/sora-first-impressions

At worst a lie of omission/misleading language, though. Someone eager to see what Sora is capable of will naturally assume that the whole thing was generated by Sora, but someone already skeptical or familiar with the capabilities of modern AI will look at it and go 'ah, this was post-processed'.
pedants going to pedant. objects in orbits move so that you can have multiple objects in the same orbit. you can't do that with real estate. they have the opposite with time shares where there's one object that different people get to use at different times. there is no real estate where for a portion of the day it is one building, but then it is a different building later.
you can also invalidate a convenant through laws.

Yes, and the result was a billions of billions of combinations of those updates.

While the current system is far from being ideal, it's way easier to test with a reduced set of permutations.

And before you object, think of it this way - if the current shitshow is with a reduced set, imagine what it would be with a non reduced one. It wouldn't be a shitshow x 2 or shitshow^2, it would be around shitshow^99999.

If you're going to go into it, you have to mention that you can be held for several weeks without being formally charged.

> Actually, "Hamas should run the entire Levant" does seem to be the view of a lot of these protesters

I suppose we must be talking to entirely different groups of protestors. I've never heard, read, or seen any evidence of direct or indirect support for Hamas at any of these events. Indeed most of my interactions with protestors indicate the opposite: many seem to be under the belief that Palestinian support for Hamas will be weaker in a fully independent Palestine, and part of their participation in the movement is predicated on that (particularly among the Palestinians I've spoken with). But there's not much I can really argue about if that's what you've encountered in your actual personal experience; I guess the people you have spoken with must be as stupid as you think.
Inflation is the average increase in the cost of goods across the whole economy.

But how did Star Trek creators come up with this?

And how did people come up with things before the sci fi was available like it is now.

I just really think influence of sci fi is really overestimated here.

In fact people bruteforcing ideas for sci fi before the tech was available proves that you can think of those ideas even if you don't have the tech available. And if you do, it is much easier to come up with all of it.
The tech came naturally in order as different types of tech became available irrespective of sci fi.

I'm happy to be wrong, but this is my understanding...

My restrictive covenant was phrased that if some event occurred, the ownership would convey to the original seller or his heirs.

In that case, the seller's interest would not vest unless that event occurred; and since this vesting could happen in the far future, it's prohibited.

I don't know how the covenant on setbacks is written in this case though, unfortunately the images from the article are too small to be legible, and I don't know where to find them otherwise.
