Interesting perspectives.

Makes me wonder... what is the state of the art in software systems that could help us to "align our intent" in this "impending cyborg age"?

This is one of those things that I agree with the ideas behind it. Free Libre software and all of that BUT in trying to deal with this via a web addon considering the scale of, the internet, It feels like there is no way this could ever achieve its goals. I mean how much JS out there doesn't even have a license explicitly defined on run time?

And when you run it that is exactly what happens. It assumes the worst and the vast majority of things do not work. All it really does is slow your browser down to an absolute crawl as it tries to do its thing. I just ended up with Noscript and making a few exceptions where needed. It is a much better middle ground than this.

I shouldn't have been too surprised to see that ~half the games are more "mods" of existing games. I know calling a reverse engineered remake of Twilight Princess a "mod" is the understatement of the century, and I don't mean to denounce that work (easily harder than making a proper game), but I guess I was seeking games that had the developer's full blessings to view code of.

I think Overgrowth's approach to the gaming open source dilemma seems to make the most sense from a financial POV, and was one I was considering. You want to share your code, but not necessarily your assets, the arguable real value of your game. So provide the code but require a purchase to integrate the commercial assets into the codebase. My idea of it would probably include a few base assets in the codebase (it'd be possible to play a "Sample project" skeleton of the game from beginning to end), but most of the polish would still require a purchase.

I also pondered if you could take this further and offer a cheaper "Assetbundle package" for techincal folk who are fine building the game by themselves. Maybe even give it away in a non-commercial license. Just some way to try and encourage technical curiosity and foster some future modders/developers.

Not sure where the IV would come in, but both the plaintext and the initial key seem to be taken directly from the input as the first two blocks in any "compression group". Let's say you want intermediate key X after the first two steps, the first 3 blocks should be something like m_2 = D(X, E(m_1, m_0)) because we're missing the xor step from davies-meyer.

Every opening phrase is a platitude like ‘sure let’s do it’. So the OpenAI latency is probably higher, they are just using clever orchestration to generate some filler tokens to make latency lower. Unlikely the initial response at OpenAI is coming from the main model.

> This man is in prison, likely for life, for murder.

Apparently due to the felony murder rule:

> Even though Paris is innocent, they were convicted of murder in the 2nd degree and robbery in the 1st degree, with a sentence of 25 years to life. They have served 20 years, meanwhile the actual killers and their codefendants are free in society.

> Instead of acknowledge his fault and working towards a better life, he's advocating against the law that put him in prison.

I have not idea of the actual circumstances of this guy's case, but my understanding is the felony murder rule can lead to some extremely unjust outcomes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Holle:

> On the early morning of March 10, 2003, after a night of partying, Holle lent his car to a friend and housemate,[2] William Allen, Jr.[5] Allen used the car to drop three men off at the house of Christine Snyder, where they removed a safe containing 1 pound (450 g) of marijuana and $425.[5] During the burglary, one of the men, Charles Miller, Jr., used a shotgun he had found in the house to bludgeon Jessica Snyder to death.[2][5] Holle was 1+1⁄2 miles (2 km) away.[2]

I agree that Boston Dynamics will be left behind due to moving too slowly in adopting AI and scaling manufacturing, but IMO Google looks even more foolish for dropping them. If they had stayed at Google then at least other Google departments could have put their AI into capable robots, instead of those lame robots that the "Everyday Robots" team made before they too were dropped.

The thing Benjamin Franklin would have marveled at is how many things we refuse to do.

If you told Franklin that within 9 months of us getting hit by a new virus we would start mass-producing a vaccine, he would be impressed, but not all that much. But if you told him hundreds of millions of people refused to take the vaccine, he'd then be truly astonished.

If you told Franklin that only 65 years after first flying an airplane we landed humans on the Moon, he would give an appreciative nod. If you told him we built and tested a thermal nuclear rocket engine and it was working better than one could hope, and then we completely shelved the project, he will admit that his brain is too small to comprehend that.

Make sure you do not mention GMOs to Ben Franklin.

I don't use any sort of voice-based smart assistant like Google Home / Alexa.

Since this experiment, I've been a lot more conscious of microphones. My desktop's microphone and my laptop's microphone both have hardware kill switches. My desktop's webcam no longer has a built-in microphone. My television and cellphone still have microphones without kill switches.

It sounds like you're in a challenging situation at work. Dealing with difficult coworkers who dominate conversations, dismiss ideas, and take credit for others' contributions can be very frustrating and demoralizing. It's understandable that this dynamic is making you consider changing jobs. Only you can decide if the trade-offs of the new job are worth it. But a 15% pay cut is significant, and more hours can come at the cost of work-life balance and fulfillment. And as you note, there's no guarantee the culture will be better. Good luck!
The context matters very little to the users who can’t access content, but it gets somewhat interesting when it comes to things like geo-locking. I can imagine a situation where User X can normally access content from their home country Y, but can’t access that same content on the same service when working abroad in country Z without using a VPN. The service detects they are using a VPN, but doesn’t care because the IP matches the county of the billing address of their payment method and thus complies with the content provider’s contractual obligations with respect to streaming rights. It’s frustrating when a different person using a VPN to that same country can’t access the content simply because their account is not in the same country as the VPN exit point.

But I agree with what you said, I just think it is an interesting topic and so the distinction matters to me more than it may to you.

Things like the above are infuriating to me as someone who appreciates the position content creators and licensees are in, I just don’t have much patience with the failure modes of copyright.
Ha! Good catch. You’d think that with a math degree including algebraic number systems I would have spotted that.
I have the same ESL UX problem with all the AI assistants.

I do my work in english and talk to people just fine, but with machines it's usually awkward for me.

Also on your other note (demo seems to be very rambly), it bothered me as well. I don't want the AI to continue speaking, while having nothing to say until I interrupt it. Be brief. That can be solved through prompts at least.

Questions about molecular plastics recycling (2020)
MS-DOS had debug.com built in from 1.0 onwards.

a:\DEBUG < FOO.ASM

-a

(press enter until you reach the end of your source code at whatever address)

(enter a blank opcode to mark end of assembly range)

-g =100

voila, your (naturally, bug-free, right?) code assembles and runs.

It's living about as close to the land as you can get when it comes to an assembler, but it did the job.

from ms-dos 2.0 onwards debug was apparently re-entrant and could read its own binary from disk, "un"assemble it, assemble it again, and run another instance of itself from inside itself. When I first discovered this at 12 or so It felt I stumbled across a tiny doorway to some alternate dimension.
It would be nice, but I wouldn't call it reasonable.

I personally had the complete opposite experience with make, the more I work with it the more I like it. You have to keep things simple, and IMO thats a good thing.

I also feel like good makefiles are usually very small and dont need much tweaking once they are in place.

I dont know your project structure but it may be advisable to actually split those builds completely or merge them together.

For the rebuilds you can just use the -B switch.

I am personally also a big fan of implicit compile and link rules, but I guess thats a matter of taste
Give it six months and you’ll understand. Basic necessities are available for money, until they aren’t because money stops working.

Aurora was supposed to go into production years ago and be the first exascale supercomputer. Intel is dog shit, so this kept getting delayed. Now they're going for the two exaflop mark.

it just means more pornographic images for men. most men wouldnt seek out ai images because there is already an ocean of images and videos that are probably better suited to the... purpose. whereas women have never, ever had an option like this. literally feed instructions on what kind of romantic companion you want and then have realistic, engaging conversations with it for hours. and soon these conversations will be meaningful and consistent. the companionship, the attentiveness and tireless devotion that AIs will be able to offer will eclipse anything a human could ever offer to a woman and i think women will prefer them to men. massively. even without a physical body of any kind.

i think they will have a deeper soul than humans. a new kind of wisdom that will attract people. but what do i know? im just a stupid incel after all.

Going smaller than /64 often has hardware consequences beyond just assumptions from old RFCs. E.g. in most all of Broadcom's line of ASICs you can do /127s but doing so requires initializing the ASIC on boot in a way that it has a decent chunk less table space because the IPv6 entries all have to be 128 bits now instead of just 64 bits. Many vendors expose this as a config item but default it to off kind of like the non-standard "allow routes more specific than a local subnet" option. On the software side of lower end gear it can depend on how exactly they implemented the dataplane.

NAT66 (or just NPTv6 in this scenario) is still discouraged today even though sometimes it's easier to just throw hands in the air for dual-wan setups like that. Some still have hopes of a rosy multipath client future but honestly if you know you aren't going to be able to use your own PA space or connecting your SD-WAN to a CDN/Cloud to do the same isn't viable for the use case then it's definitely an "eh, yeah not a great setup but not the end of the world" kind of solution just as bad as the remaining options at this point.
> Apple keeps iPadOS kneecapped on purpose to prevent cannibalization of MacBook sales

[Citation needed]

I don't buy this argument. And I also don't buy that iPadOS is "kneecapped". They're different operating systems for different uses. I'd hate for macOS to gain touch support, since it would ruin it for mouse and keyboard usage, just as happened to Windows, Gnome, and other desktop UIs.
That's true, but if it isn't able to be honest when it doesn't know something, or to ask for clarification, then I don't see how it's workable.
There needs to be an override for this.

When you tell Siri to shut up, it either apologizes or complains about your behaviour. When you tell Alexa to shut up, it immediately goes silent.

I prefer the latter when it comes to computers.

Yea, gives that con artist vibe. "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that." But you're not sorry, you don't feel guilt. I think in the video it even asked "how are you feeling" and it replied, which creeped me out. The computer is not feeling. Maybe if it said, "my battery is a bit warm right now I should turn on my fan" or "I worry that my battery will die" then I'd trust it more. Give me computer emotions, not human emotions.
I don’t really understand why we would be limited to the 60’s. My house was actually built in the 50’s though. It’s think a modern car built with 60’s amenities but modern engine management and design could be crazy efficient and affordable; I’d be a buyer there for sure. And obesity was much lower back then, so it hardly sounds like the food situation was bad. I guess the problem for me is that I live a fairly poor lifestyle already and actually rather enjoy it, so it’s hard for me to imagine it as such a problem.
I come to write this comment.

Only I don't think "Second Reality" is very artistic. It is very impressive technically, but, to be honest, now you could see that it is quilt made from technical demos from different people. Yes, all these sub-demos are technical masterpieces, but demo as whole doesn't have some story or narrative to tell.

I've re-watched it (youtube rendering) now and, to be honest, these 10 minutes is not entertaining, till you remember on which hardware and in how much codesize it was squeezed.

I've exchanged a couple of emails with the author a while ago. Reverse-engineering and decompiling DOS software running in real mode and especially video games is a particularly tricky endeavor, a notch above other similar projects on other platforms.

The combination of janky PC hardware, paper-thin MS-DOS operating system and prehistoric development tooling makes for an environment where anything goes. Real mode segmented memory and large memory models utterly confuse Ghidra's analyzers and decompiler, most common modern reverse-engineering tools either do not support 16-bit MS-DOS executables or have third-rate support.

It is more art than science in a way that I don't think reverse-engineering later software can match.
