What signal are you referring to?

That you and one other person are making low brow comments that do not enhance the conversation?
As an Apple developer and iPhone user since the 3S, these issues are baked into the OS. That you haven't experienced them speaks to your particular usage. Editing and selecting text has been a longstanding problem with improvements and regressions. As another commenter said, it's a huge annoyance.

Try selecting multiple paragraphs on a website, for example. The behavior is generally unpredictable and requires lots of fiddling. Deselecting text requires yet more work. Double-tapping a word should select the word itself, but that's often not the case. And it's not just websites where the DOM adds complexity; the same erroneous behavior exists for native apps.

For example, open an iMessage text and paste one or more images. Now go back and try to edit existing text. Or add new text. Moving the cursor and text selection is non-deterministic and requires scrolling and fiddling, manually adding line breaks, and then removing them just to get the formatting correct.

In other words, as the OP mentioned, text editing has been problematic on iOS/iPadOS for ages. Interestingly, VisionOS, which perhaps has the most challenging input and editing environment, has managed to resolve many of these issues.

While initial VisionOS releases were buggy and nearly unusable, it's rather striking that you can now use your eyes to move and edit text with more precision than what's possible on iOS/iPadOS--which tells you how much room there is for improvement.
and which company would that be?

That’s why I never make friends with my LLMs. It’s also true that when I use a push motorized lawn mower it has a different safety operating model than a weed whacker vs a reel mower vs an industrial field cutter and bailing system. But we still use all of these regularly and no one points out the industrial device is extraordinarily dangerous and there’s a continuum of safety with different techniques to address the challenges for the user to adopt. Arguably LLMs maybe shouldn’t be used by the uniformed to make medical decisions and maybe it’s dangerous that people do. But in the mean time I’m fine with having access to powerful tools and using them with caution but using them for what gives me value. I’m sure we will safety wrap everything if soon enough to the point it’s useless and wrapped in advertisements for our safety.
Those systems are not cheap. Somebody has to maintain them and keep them up to date. Who’s paying this? City?

We have a country lagging behind the times across the board: education, wages, health and well being.

Not all AI is hype. We are just surrounded by so much AI hype it’s easy to forget things like Co-pilot didn’t exist just a couple years ago. To say there’s no value in having an assistant to write code at your direction is incorrect.
Am I taking crazy pills or something? Because he was the one who tried to oust Sam like 6 months ago? Did we just all forget that or what?

Again, why would any VC give Ilya money if that in any way signals that they are supporting someone who tried to oust the CEO of OpenAI from within? They wouldn't.
Connected Vehicle is a massive threat surface for terrorists or other crazy people to cause gridlock via (D)DoS or a mass casualty event. "TCAS for cars" is going to end badly is the most probable outcome without extremely careful and thoughtful design and implementation.
The even healthier choice is to store all your system state in a config, you can then just occasionally clean up the config. This also lets you put extensive comments on why a package is needed or even create a submodule for a specific project.

Shame that the only bistro that lets you do this is extremely arcane and difficult to learn if you do not have a PhD in mathematics.
The VM is an isolated environment itself. You do not need to be isolated from it.

Using two levels of userland isolation makes about the same sense as using 457 levels of userland isolation.

> Bounds checking and assertions shouldn’t change the type layout.

Any bounds checks and assertions that rely on storing additional data such as valid iterator ranges or mutation counters would need to change the type layout, wouldn't they?

Even if the STL were purely a header-only library (and influenced only by code generation changes for debug builds), there's still the problem of ABI compatibility across different translation units--or different libraries--which might be built with different options.

EDIT: One of your sibling comments goes into greater detail!
> While I can't bring myself to goto the gym due to self esteem issue and not knowing what I'd even do their, I have started to walk more and move around as part of being a college student. Iv managed to drop a few pounds but I'm still overweight by more than 100 lbs.

You don't need to go to the gym to work out. Walking is great, you can do a lot with a very small weight set, and you can do calisthenics. None are hard to learn, there's a bunch of websites and such. If funds and space aren't too much of an issue: stationary bikes, rowing machines, weight sets, etc. can be found pretty easily and are nice. Look for second-hand if funds are an issue.

Gym people do tend to be pretty great by the way. Not universally of course, but I'm sure you'd be able to find some who would welcome you and you likely wouldn't have a bad experience. You also can just go and watch or ask and it'll be really easy to find some machines you can do. Really worst case you can look up how to use different machines or equipment.

Since you're in college, a lot of schools will have classes that will teach you to work out in any way that you find interesting too. They won't expect you to already know anything or be in shape, you'll fit in fine.
A bit of a cooldown on api wrappers would be good. All these crappy startups which have no more value than just gpt4/opus are bizarre. Can’t believe any of them are doing real money.
This is kind of a problem, no? He can be a Nazi, but it's OK because he is our Nazi?

Also, Turkey decided to occupy a part of Cyprus (and they still do). But that's OK because they are allies, right? And Taiwan engaged in literal piracy at the start of its independent history. Oh, sorry, those guys must have been freedom fighters. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capture_of_the_Tuapse

While the potential of super-smart AI to improve transport efficiency, costs and environmental impact with self-driving is obvious, it's also expensive and still many years from being ready for broad deployment. It's puzzling that low-hanging fruit like an AI-assisted "Slightly Smarter" traffic light is ignored. It could deliver meaningful improvement today with cheap, easy to retrofit, Raspberry Pi-level tech which already works well enough for a simple, limited use case like reducing unnecessary idling at traffic lights.
State of HTML 2023 survey results
They won't see "dead pixels" unless it's severe damage, or a different underlying cause. All bets are off on the optical nerve, since MRI resolution may at best allow to spot a tumor.

They can, however, do an extended version of the blind spot experiment above for the whole field of vision, where they project light dots into a hemisphere in an unpredictable but iteratively somewhat exhaustive fashion. Very tiring and challenging test, since you need to keep your eyes from wandering, fixated at a boring reference point for more than half an hour. Like a hearing test, but for your eyes...

Laser beams or high energy radiation in general may also damage vision elsewhere in the optical pathway. Like opacification in the cornea or vitreous body when proteins get denatured by the heat. The body is very bad a repairing any damage in the optical apparatus since the eyes do have their own blood barrier, so macrophages usually don't have access to clean up "junk", and most tissues involved aren't really regenerative. Worse, damaged proteins tend to slowly spread the faulty structure to their neighbors.

Don't fuck with your eyes!
I think we'll end up moving away from shallow signifiers of trustworthiness to reputational networks and evidence someone has invested into an identity or entity.

That's not to say it's a solved problem, even in the real world with thousands of years of battle tested strategies.

A very simple example would be a web browser where I could blacklist chronically-unhelpful sites, and share that metadata among friends.

> allow me to assist in your understanding of the bigger picture: large funds use VCs as money mules to increase Nvidia GPU sales through investments in AI startups and this is not sustainable.

You have to be trolling (or I'm misunderstanding?) if you're arguing that a large proportion of VC investments are at the direction of LPs who are long NVIDIA, for the sole purpose of furthering that long.

Could be a clever play. They sandwiched google io with news which has taken attention from Google. Plus they just had a big announcement so the negative news hits a little less hard.
> The title seems to willfully invoke the far more sinister “organ-harvesting” trope that’s alarmingly a live issue in other carceral systems to this day

What's the functional difference between the two to the bereaved? I don't think finding out they waited until after the autopsy to steal the organs is comforting.

I would feel much better about the harvested organs of a loved one being transplanted to save a life vs being placed on a jar for medical students, I suspect most voluntary donors prefer their organs be used for transplants rather than medical training. So to me, what Alabama is doing is fat more sinister.
I've seen that some places as well but I haven't seen it done in the daytime for some reason.

You’ll need to be sure that all the places your cards will go accept the 6 digit pin. Granted this was 20 years ago, but we were in Europe and couldn’t use my wife’s ATM card because she had a 6 digit PIN and all the ATMs were encountered only allowed 4 digits.

Sounds like it may be the reverse with Europe going the 6 digit route, but I think 4 digits is still pretty universal — I think most interfaces provide a enter key to terminate the PIN?

Catching up right now is not a matter of tech innovation, but raw energy and compute.

Of course, the next -revolution- in AI could very well come from Ilya. But why would he bestow that honor to anyone? He can self fund it if he wants. It's an R&D project, not a scaling problem.
These tests are no fun at all.

This is a classic argument and appears in many many forms:

* "Psychologists don't want to fix your problems because then you'll stop needing therapy every week."

* "Dating sites don't actually want you to find a long-term partner because then you'll stop using the site."

* "The mechanic's not trying to actually fix your car, just get it running for a few weeks so it breaks down again and you come back."

Etc. etc.

Any time there is information asymmetry and leaving a customer not fully satisfied might lead to future sales, this old canard comes up.

I'm sure in some cases it's true. But, like, people aren't entirely stupid. Consumers generally won't keep repeatedly going back to the same business if the service is kinda sucky. And businesses generally figure out that reputation matters and the most economically viable long-term strategy is just to give people what they want.
We could have a superintelligence in months. 1% catastrophic risk is too large
Many of those systems have no real authentication so they are vulnerable, like the 802.11p.

Strong authentication for that kind of system is really tough because cars would be interacting at the datagram level, not have a lot of time for connection setup, probably requiring some authority like the cellular network to manage access control, etc (with the politically fraught "require a subscription" and less than 100% spatial coverage.)

If authentication is not good the killer apps to V2V may well be:

(1) Somebody lives in a residential neighborhood that they feel gets too much traffic. They set up a transmitter that makes it look like there is demolition derby going on which will presumably activate warnings and make people slow down.

(2) Same, for the driver who doesn't like being tailgated. (Now if you could only trigger an anti-collision radar.)
There are a couple technical reasons:

1. In RC and tracing GC languages, a linear object would need exactly one special "linear" reference to it, which would be responsible for eventually "consuming" (though not deleting) the object by handing it to its final destination function. (You can tell, I'm trying real hard to not say destructor here)

2. In single-ownership languages like C++, Rust, etc. we've been conflating the destructor to handle two things: fulfilling the object's final purpose, and handling exceptions/panics. It seemed convenient at the time, but it also prevented linear types.

But honestly, I think we were just stuck in a local maximum. There was no reason to change those points because we didn't know about higher RAII, and we didn't know about higher RAII because those two points prevented linear types.

But with more of us exploring this new area (Vale, Austral, maybe even Mojo!), I daresay we'll one day see linear types and higher RAII entering the mainstream. Especially if someone can come up with a better name!
I suspect our financial system will finally collapse when the United States government is no longer capable of borrowing fast enough to pay off/refinance all our debts and eventually defaults due to lack of available manpower
More like they iced him for the last 6 months to ensure he wasn’t taking their lead to a competitor. He probably hasn’t touched anything in that time.
This is misleading. Owe 35T and pay off 100% the interest and next year you nominally owe the same amount, but it’s a smaller burden every year. Similarly it’s possible for the nominal debt increase while things are getting better. What matters is how the debt burden is changing over time and critically if borrowers are requiring higher interest rates on new debt.

Understanding the impact of national debt is a lot more complicated than a single number, though obviously what’s actually happening is unsustainable it’s not as simple as how much a single number changes over time.

The reason all of this exists - the reason the entire Internet turned into an unusable amalgam of horseshit - is because we built the entire commercial side of the internet off ad revenue. It might be a death spiral at this point - I can’t imagine anyone actually being willing to Pay for whatever the fuck Google or Facebook have become, so there’s nothing left to do but keep inventing new ways to generate bullshit and new bots to view it for you.
It's wild that a one-time convenient excuse turned into the base expectation of all social media that is impossible to live up to.

I just said it, children and the elderly. That and a negative income tax covers most of it.

Often people do have bad ideas beyond this, mostly because they're very confused about what encourages work and what discourages it. (which is how you get SSI asset tests)

The concern is that a system that can use prisoners’ organs for transplants will want to do so more frequently, for profit. A motive for capital sentences.

Most modern states operate on debts and run deficits for decades, US isn't the only one.

But I wonder for how long this can be stretched? A century more? What's the future of the state as an institution?
If billionaires and multi trillion dollar companies paid their fair share; AND USA reduces spend in “defense”. We might actually see the daylight. But we all know that will never happen

> long-term strategy

This is where the theory falls apart. When “long-term strategy” and “short-term quarterly earnings” get into the boardroom together at a public company, it ain’t “long-term strategy” that’s walking out.
In the modern global economy, debt interest is national defense.

People are much less likely to go to war with someone who owes them money; it guarantees they won't get paid.
Maybe if you tell it to pull the answer from a limerick instead of generally asking?

Edit: Ok no, I tried giving it a whole bunch of hints, and it was just making stuff up that was completely unrelated. Even directly pointing it at the original dataset didn’t help.
> interest costs are expected to exceed Medicare spending this year, making interest on the national debt the second largest line item in the FY 2024 federal budget, behind only Social Security

I wonder when it will exceed Social Security?

I don't think that's true, or at least, overstates it. I think there are a lot of people who don't feel strongly about becoming parents that end up being great parents.
> This is misleading. Owe 35T and pay off 100% the interest and next year you nominally owe the same amount, but it’s a smaller burden every year.

This is actually misleading. You’re only right if the US stops spending. Biden has already said he wants to increase taxes to increase spending.
Without defending debt spending at all, this claim is misleading because it has the defense budget too low. It's just listing the ~$820 billion Defense Department budget, and not counting things like Veterans Affairs, which by itself is another ~$350 billion. You never get the actual total for defense-related spending, because it's spread across different areas of the budget. This is a comment about how defense spending is always higher than people claim it is.
