Does it? I am quite certain those things are achievable right now without anything like AI in the sense being discussed here.

Exactly how I felt when I started reading.

What is it about advocacy that attracts this type of person? Maybe that’s not how it works. I wonder if it’s that this type of person finds advocacy and suddenly has somewhere to legitimately use their need to speak and to be heard.
Elm makes great use of these, for example in the Units package:

Very nice to prevent conversions between incompatible units, but without the over head of lots of type variants.

Right, I'm not suggesting they replace critical PLCs. They are overused in places where those requirements aren't necessary just because PLCs are what their engineers know.
> You're literally the first person I've ever encountered with this idea, after reading/watching dozens of articles/talks about genre from people in the field.

That might be the problem. Taking an example from a different field, I am comfortable using the term "finite" to mean "more than zero". This is a common mathematical usage. (If you're curious, it contrasts "finite" with "infinitesimal" as opposed to "infinite".)

People without mathematical training tend to object to it.

If you're marketing books, because you're a bookstore, or a publisher, then you need to put clean romance somewhere, it shares most of its audience with romance, and it's natural to think of them as a group.

But this is looking at the question from the wrong direction. If you ask "what's the term for a book with explicit sex scenes in it?", the answer to that is "a romance novel".

I knew a Chinese World of Warcraft player who collected the item series called Steamy Romance Novels. ( https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Steamy_Romance_Novel )

She found them funny, but she remarked to me once that they seemed a lot more sexual than the title, "romance novel", implied.

I put this down to unfamiliarity with English. Do you think more of the English-speaking player base should be confused by the items?
Is there anything specific about the use restrictions that is problematic, or the fact that the restrictions exist in the first place? It seems to me that the restrictions are sensible given the current climate around ethical use of AI.
YouTube actually has really good recommendations and comments these days.

In fact I would say the comments are too good. They clearly have something ranking them for "niceness" but it makes them impossibly sentimental. Like I watched a bunch of videos about 70s rock recently and every single comment was about how someone's family member just died of cancer and how much they loved listening to it.
My wife is a hospice nurse and from time to time she'll have a patient without any ability to communicate except their eyes (think ALS) - for these folks in their final days/weeks of life this will be a godsend. There are specialized eye-tracking devices, but they're expensive and good luck getting them approved by insurance in time for the folks in need near the end of their lives.

> The other implementation is detailed in this article, and requires the addition of unique field value to objects.

That's not quite what ends up happening in this article though. The actual objects themselves are left unchanged (no new fields added), but you're telling the compiler that the value is actually an intersection type with that unique field. There a load-bearing `as Hash` in the return statement of `generateHash` in the article's example that makes it work without introducing runtime overhead.

I definitely agree about native support for discriminated unions / nominal typing though, that would be fantastic.

Some people never really learn how to use one-pedal driving, so they end up just going back and forth between accelerating and decelerating. That'll make me motion sick in a hurry, and I bet that is fairly universal (among people prone to motion sickness in cars, that is). So in that sense, any EV or hybrid is potentially a problem, depending on the driver.
I agree. Moreover, as a sibling comment says, eyewitness testimony is very unreliable.
The fact it was trained on HPC which covers 20% heat consumption in a city is absolutely wild and on par with how wild it is to have English/Nordic model.

“ Further emphasizing digital sovereignty, Viking is trained on the EuroHPC supercomputer LUMI, utilizing up to 4096 AMD MI-250X GPUs. LUMI is not only Europe’s most powerful supercomputer and the 5th most powerful in the world, but also the 3rd greenest supercomputer among the top 500 supercomputers. LUMI’s energy consumption is covered with power produced 100% with hydroelectricity, and the waste heat of LUMI will account for about 20 percent of the district heating in the surrounding city of Kajaani. ”

Although it's not well known, you unfortunately can't use temperature data to judge whether climatological predictions are correct. That's because the databases of temperature data that are presented as "global temperature" (a fundamentally statistical product) are themselves maintained by climatologists. It's a bit like asking a CEO whether his products are good, and he cites his own private data on customer happiness to prove that it is. Lots of people wouldn't accept this as evidence because it's not independent. The data might be correct, but his salary is at stake and so there's the risk of shenanigans. You'd want a truly independent assessment.

Climatologists like to claim that they are of course far better than that and would never abuse their monopoly position on such data, but they also regularly change those databases in ways that retroactively make failing predictions correct. Like here [1] where they declared a new record-breaking temperature that was lower than their previously announced record. They didn't mention that anywhere but the previous press release was still on their website and somebody noticed.

Anyway, you're right, let's Google things. Here are a few failed predictions from 20 years ago that can be judged without using temperature databases:

• Dr David Viner, climatologist, March 2000. "Children just aren't going to know what snow is". David Parker, climatologist, same article. "British children could have only virtual experience of snow." [2]

• "Australia faces permanent drought due to climate change", 2003 [3]. Dr James Risbey, Center for Dynamical Meteorology and Oceanography at Melbourne's Monash University, says "the situation is probably not being confronted as full-on as it should". Current data shows no drought [4]

• Pentagon report, 2004 [5]. By 2020 the weather in Britain "will begin to resemble Siberia", by 2007 violent storms have rendered parts of the Netherlands uninhabitable. "A ‘significant drop’ in the planet’s ability to sustain its present population will become apparent over the next 20 years". "Immigrants from Scandinavia seek warmer climes to the south." None of that is even close. "Senior climatologists, however, believe that [the author's] verdicts could prove the catalyst in forcing Bush to accept climate change as a real and happening phenomenon."

There are hundreds more like this. It's inevitable that people take this history into account, and kinda unfair to demand that people don't. If there had been rigorous investigations of what went wrong in these cases, and clear evidence of learning or regulation of the field in the same way as happens in other areas of life after big failures, then people's confidence might be higher.

I called it "tinygram prevention".
Possibly you (well, some international body) can do that. Leaving that idea aside, countries matter because countries are controlled by policies, per-country.

This doesn't, of course, mean that you get to burn a big bonfire of coal if your country has a small population. The reality is that you get to burn a big bonfire of coal in any country unless it has a law against it. And another part of the reality is that emissions are caused mainly by transport, power generation, industry and construction, all of which can be decarbonised by policy, so the personal carbon footprint thing just isn't relevant because it's not up to individuals, and people having orgiastic fossil fuel bonfires is not the true nature of the problem anyway.
I mean, we can argue lots of things, I guess ;P, but an extension already has access to that authentication token, and pretending otherwise is a bit... "performative"? The expectation I have with an extension--as someone who used to manage an entire ecosystem of such extensions of native software for a decade--is that it is a true extension of the application that it is extending, similar to if we had the original source code to patch.

I share some of the concerns about discord, but the problem is, Mumble or XMPP or any of these alternative solutions are not viable replacements for what people actually use Discord for.

It's the combination of persistent text chat / community driven features + voice chat / streaming / etc. that all work well together and are tightly integrated. It's easy for someone even with minimal experience to manage Discord servers, even for a large community. Roles and permissions are a breeze. It's easy to add bots that provide a ton of additional functionality. The interface is pleasant for end users.

You would need multiple open source projects running to replace all of the core functionality people use Discord for, and they would be in different interfaces, often less user-friendly ones.

And I say this as someone that ran Mumble and TeamSpeak servers for years.
Demonstrably false.

Homicide rate of Japan is about 0.2 per 100,000 people.

According to Washington Post [1], the US police killed 1,162 people in 2023, which is about 0.3 per every 100,000 Americans.

I.e., an American is more likely to be killed by a cop than a Japanese person is likely to be killed by a murderer.

> (in a few years) Products can be created simply by telling a computer what you wish for

Most people don't know what they want though, and we take it for granted because we are good at making things that others are too.

We'll just get people producing a bunch of products that all feel the same (i.e. what AI is trained on).

Yes it'll get easier to build things - but aren't many things already much easier? I mean go back in time and make a website then compare it to the tools today.

I feel like we're not giving humans credit for true creativity. The bar is being moved, barriers are being changed but don't underestimate the resilience of people.

There are and will be many opportunities, we just need to use our natural intelligence to get there.

No, it was absolutely about affordability and education. Pi was never about compute power, it was focused on a general purpose CPU that ran Linux and had I/O that enabled tinkering.

They lost their way trying to cater to businesses that wanted Pis to drive digital signage or be the basis of some IoT deployment.

> but it's very rare for everything to go wrong all of the time.

I think in reality the inputs to these models are a lot less independent than they would like. Even in the example at the start of the article, I suspect that for most folks income from a side hustle and investment rate of return are both highly correlated to the overall economic conditions. Attempting to add statistical rigor to something as open ended as predicting the future feels quixotic.

I can't say much about this code or your personal background, but my honest opinion is to take a step back and examine the principles.

I used to be very bothered by abstractions, design patterns and structure. But I realized that when I worked with 'true' imperative code (forget classes for a while), keeping all code in the same file, the code started to structure itself. I am not saying this is the only way, but I feel like OOP can be a hinderance, as you get bogged down by alternatives.
I can't believe Mumble was even mentioned as an alternative. Mumble wasn't even good 15 years ago.

That's a really good point. I want to define what I think of intelligence as being so we are on the same page: it is the combination of knowledge and reason. An example of a system with high knowledge amd low reason is Wikipedia. An example of a system with high reason and low knowledge is a scientific calculator. A highly intelligent system exhibits aspects of both.

A rule based expert intelligence system can be highly intelligent, but it is not general, and maybe no arrangement of rules could make one that is general. A general intelligence system must be able to learn and adapt to foreign problems, parameters, and goals dynamically.

> I like them in chat though.

I personally don't like them in chat too much either: I much prefer ":)" or ":(" or ";)" than actual visual it gets turned into — emojis being so colorful call the attention to them, whereas I simply want to signal the tone in a message — emoticon/emoji is not the core of the message unless that's the only thing I put out.

But I am trying to go with the times (not that I had much choice as typing regular emoticons usually gets converted into emojis these days).
