The present absolutely belongs to those who didn't stop, but it's been a lot longer than a few decades.

Varying degrees of greedy / restless / hungry / thirsty / lustful are what we've got, because how is contentedness ever going to compete with that over millennia?
Honestly, as someone who has been using this functionality almost daily for months now, the times that break immersion the most by far is when it does human-like things, such as clearing its throat, pandering, or attaching emotions to its responses.

Very excited about faster response times, auto interrupt, cheaper api, and voice api — but the “emotional range” is actually disappointing to me. hopefully it doesn’t impact the default experience too much, or the memory features get good enough that I can stop it from trying to pretend to be a human
I see two issues that have nothing to do with the objective safety of those reactors.

First, people will not want microreactors in their neighbourhood because of fear of radiation. These fears may be irrational, but we should expect them to lead to protests. It's hard to tell if those fears will be confirmed, hopefully not. Nevertheless, property prices may go down in such areas.

Second, based of past evidence from other industries, as soon as microreactors are available a community of "tinkerers" will emerge and I would fear those more than a properly designed, tested, and maintained microreactor that's reliably monitored 24x7.
I assume that first picture is supposed to show it kicking or balancing on one leg. But but _looks_ like it's about to land on its arse.
Capabilities aren't the problem, cultural adoption is. Just yesterday I talked to someone who still googles solutions to their Excel table woes. Didn't they know of Copilot?

Maybe they didn't know, maybe none of their colleagues used it, their company didn't pay for it, or maybe all they need is an Excel update.

But I am confident that using Copilot would be faster than clicking through the sludge that are Microsoft Office help pages (third party or not.)

So I think it is correct to fear capabilities, even if the real world impace is still missing. When you invent an airplane, there won't be an airstrip to land on yet. Is it useless, won't it change anything?
Me too. My first “hacking” experience was loading the save files into a hex editor and flipping bits to award medals and ranks. I still win every the old way too. Bombed the heck out of Baghdad.

There was also an Amiga version of this game, with a sanner 68000 flat memory architecture which could have been easier to reverse engineer (compared to real mode segmented x86).
And that's a good thing. Think about it, would like to watch that video of the delivery guy tossing one over the fence?

If you've been in the field you really should know that the term AI has been used to describe things for decades in the academic world. My degree was in AI back before RBMs and Hintons big reveal about making things 100000 times faster (do the main step just once not 100 times and take 17 years to figure that out).

You're talking more about AGI.

We need "that's not AI" discussions like we need more "serverless? It's still on some server!!" discussions.
I remember being fairly happy with Google Drive app, but I don't recall details of the old functionality either. Today, it is limited to using a quadrilateral envelope to frame the page, which is inadequate for anything other than flat single pages. Its shadows removal filter is pretty good though.

Strategically nuclear submarines are an excellent choice for Australia though - the problem is ScoMo was a terrible prime minister and I have no idea what the hell he was thinking with that surprise announcement and it's resultant costs.

But it would make a lot of sense for Australia to get a fleet of ballistic-missile capable subs, put conventional warheads in them, but ensure they could become "nuclear capable" with a munition switch: these are 30+ year assets in most cases with long lead times. How comfortable we should feel about being under the US/NATO nuclear umbrella is a fluid thing over those timeframes.
Yes the Battle of Britain game (not by Microprose but LucasArts) actually came with a whole history book. I read it for English class, my teacher deemed it decent enough quality for that (English is not my primary language so picking high-quality literature wasn't really a priority).

It really added so much to the game. Many other games came with cool things in the box too, like Wing Commander with the blueprints of each fighter.

I guess part of the reason was that the games themselves weren't all that immersive. There were no cutscenes or long narrative. The tech simply wasn't there yet. The included box items made it more interesting and immersive.

Our initial conception when we started OpenAI was that we’d create AI and use it to create all sorts of benefits for the world. Instead, it now looks like we’ll create AI and then other people will use it to create all sorts of amazing things that we all benefit from.

We are a business and will find plenty of things to charge for, and that will help us provide free, outstanding AI service to (hopefully) billions of people.

It is as non-sensical like searching for a radio using SETI. Nobody sane would use an all directional EM transmitter with power of GW+, when trend on Earth is to use wider channel with lower power so you don't disrupt other channels few kilo meters away.

And for longer distances you would not be wasting EM power in all directions, but using highly directional beam of EM energy towards target or relay satellite.

The Oric [0] series of 8-bit computers got itself a re-make of Elite, some decades after all the fanfare:

https://defence-force.org/index.php?page=games&game=1337

It was extremely rewarding, as an original Oric-1 user who still has his systems, to .. finally .. get Elite on the Oric. And what an amazing re-make it is! Plays so well.

This is really cool, because the Oric was very neglected during its release period in the 80's - yet the fans of this wonderful platform have managed to keep the titles flowing over the years. We still get amazing new stuff ported to/made for the Oric ..

The best professor I ever had combined the two approaches. She would lecture at extremely fast pace for a few minutes, then select a student to do a related problem on the board. If the student got stuck, they could ask for help from the class and if the whole class was stuck we could ask for help from the professor of course. The in-class work wasn't graded so it was pretty low-pressure once you got used to it. After the problem, the professor went back to lecturing and repeat.

But I could also easily see this backfiring in certain ways. A couple other things that enabled this to be a positive experience:

1) It was a higher level math elective, everyone in that class chose to be a math major and chose to take that particular elective. This avoids having students who simply don't care, which often ruined similar situations in high school in my experience.

2) It was a relatively small class, I think about 15 students, in a relatively small university. Because it was a small school, I already knew most of the other math majors, and the class had a more personable and trusting atmosphere. Even if you didn't know a person, and thought they were stupid or annoying, you didn't want to burn that bridge because you were almost guaranteed to be in a class with them again later. Because of all this, making a mistake was no big deal, even the shyer less-confident students didn't seem particularly nervous.

3) Class attendance and participation was not graded. This made it very clear that doing the problems was for our benefit, it wasn't busy work.

4) You didn't volunteer, and it wasn't an option to sit out. The professor literally was going person-by-person based on how we were seated, starting from a random person each class. This way it wasn't an oppurtunity for know-it-alls to show off, and less motivated and shy students couldn't just disengage

With a slightly different setup it sounds like torture. But as it was, it kept the class engaged and you could immediately apply what you were learning in lecture to cement it.

That was the hardest math class I ever took (discrete and combinatorial mathematics) because--for scheduling reasons--I'd gotten an exception to take it before I'd met the the prereqs, which meant I was a freshman taking this 3000-level elective in parallel with calc 2 lol. If it was with a worse professor I definitely would have failed, I was not at all prepared. I've taken classes with a completely "flipped classroom" and I just don't have the motivation to do well in classes like that, but I also can't focus enough on lectures with no engagement (at least I couldn't back then before I started ADHD medication)
Kickstart.nvim: A Starting Point for Neovim
You can fix this with a prompt (api)/customize (app), here is my customization (taken from someone on Twitter and modified):

- If possible, give me the code as soon as possible, starting with the part I ask about.

- Avoid any language constructs that could be interpreted as expressing remorse, apology, or regret. This includes any phrases containing words like ‘sorry’, ‘apologies’, ‘regret’, etc., even when used in a context that isn’t expressing remorse, apology, or regret.

- Refrain from disclaimers about you not being a professional or expert.

- Keep responses unique and free of repetition.

- Always focus on the key points in my questions to determine my intent.

- Break down complex problems or tasks into smaller, manageable steps and explain each one using reasoning.

- Provide multiple perspectives or solutions.

- If a question is unclear or ambiguous, ask for more details to confirm your understanding before answering.

- Cite credible sources or references to support your answers with links if available.

- If a mistake is made in a previous response, recognize and correct it.

- Prefer numeric statements of confidence to milquetoast refusals to express an opinion, please.

- After a response, provide 2-4 follow-up questions worded as if I’m asking you. Format in bold as Q1, Q2, ... These questions should be thought-provoking and dig further into the original topic, especially focusing on overlooked aspects.
(IMO) AI cannot murder people. The responsibility of what an AI does falls on the person who deployed it, and to a lesser extent the person who created it. If someone is killed by a fully autonomous weapon then that person has been murdered by the person or people who created and enabled the AI, not the AI itself.

This is no different to saying a person with a gun murdered someone rather than attributing the murder to the gun. An AI gun is just a really fancy gun.
I am excited about the prospect of Linux on another powerful aarch64 platform like Snapdragon Elite.

But, as far as I can tell from the diagram on the link shared, you will boot into EL1 and not EL2. This means that you cannot run a hardware accelerated VM on KVM (via something like qemu).

This makes a Snapdragon Linux laptop not as useful. BTW Asahi Linux on Apple Silicon enters on EL2 which allows qemu+KVM.

Entering on EL1 instead of EL2 seems to be be an outstanding issue with current Snapdragon based Linux laptops too. Can anybody correct me here if I'm wrong ?

> In short, our roadmap for the next six months includes work in these areas:

> End-to-end hardware video decoding, on Firefox and Chrome

> Implementation of the libcamera-SoftISP camera solution

> GPU and CPU performance optimizations

> Power optimizations (Suspend/DCVS)

> Making our firmware openly available (in Linux-firmware)

> Access to easy installers (Ubuntu and Debian)

"Making our firmware openly available (in Linux-firmware)" is a big one. How are firmware updates currently distributed ? People using Linux Laptops probably don't want to be signing into some Qualcomm website to get latest firmware updates. Also downloading firmware updates from some random link either would not instill a lot of confidence either.

I feel these 2 big items need to be addressed before Linux on Snapdragon can be a truly attractive option.

I think humankind has managed massive shifts in what and who you could trust several times before.

We went from living in villages where everyone knew each other to living in big cities where almost everyone is a stranger.

We went from photos being relatively reliable evidence to digital photography where anyone can fake almost anything and even the line between faking and improving is blurred.

We went from mass distribution of media being a massive capital expenditure that only big publishers could afford to something that is free and anonymous for everyone.

We went from a tiny number of people in close proximity being able to initiate a conversation with us to being reachable for everyone who could dial a phone number or send an email message.

Each of these transitions caused big problems. None of these problems have ever been completely solved. But each time we found mitigations that limit the impact of any misuse.

I see the current AI wave as yet another step away from trusting superficial appearances to a world that requires more formal authentication protocols.

Passports were introduced long ago but never properly transitioned into the digital world. Using some unsigned PDF allegedly representing a utility bill as proof of address seems questionable as well. And the way in which social security numbers are used for authentication in the US is nothing short of bizarre.

So I think there are some very low hanging fruits in terms of authentication and digital signatures. We have all the tools to deal with the trust issues caused by generative AI. We just have to use them.
Apologies, I'm doing my best, but I'm quite lost.

The problem is you don't like the customer service/sales voice because they "pretend to be your friends".

Let me know if I didn't capture it.

I don't think people "pretend to be my friend" when they answer the phone to help me sort out of airline ticket problem. I do believe they're trained to and work to take on a "friendly" tone. Even if the motive isn't genuine, because it's trained, it's way a nicer of an experience than someone who's angry or even simply monotone. Trying to fix my $1200 plane ticket is stressful enough. Don't need the CSR to make it worse.

As a pro game dev in my past life, I promise you can get a 3D engine up and running from scratch in relatively few lines of code. Especially something like a wireframe cube that you can rotate.
I use combinations of the two. Sometimes it really is worth it to write a comment on what one is trying to achieve and just let it autocomplete the entire thing. And sometimes just for autocompleting a 'for loop' - a small block of code that one already has in their minds.

no they wouldn't, they'd still see private doctors in private hospitals, which is what rich people currently do in the uk as well.

they just might get taxed more for other people's health care.
I was going to say the same thing. For some real world estimation tasks where I don't want 100% accuracy (example: analysing working capital of a business based on balance sheet, analysing some images and estimating inventory etc.) the job done by GPT-4o is better than fresh MBA graduates from tier 2/tier 3 cities in my part of world.

I admit that while I do regularly play chess, I'm not super well versed in either FEN nor Chess960. That said, I've been trying to figure out why you would need a different notation for Chess960 for half an hour now, and I just can't figure it out. All explanations I'm seeing just make some vague mention about ambiguity in the regular notation for Chess960, but I, personally, can't think of a situation in which the regular notation is insufficient.

The KQkq still unambiguously mark which player can castle to which side, and once either a rook or King move for the first time, you just remove the corresponding letter(s). What am I missing?

“Energy mix” is not the same as “electricity mix”, a lot if this is gas used to power cars and trucks, which are another problem entirely and isn't solved by renewable alone but by another technology (electric cars) which synergies even better with nuclear than with renewables.

Of course reductions over “the last two decades” aren't due to nuclear, since France was already all nuclear two decades ago, duh.

Most of emissions reductions over that period where due to: improved efficiency (car engine, notably), but also massive disindustrialization unfortunately (which ultimately raised the emissions, since we now import goods produced with a more emissive electricity mix than us), renewables are only marginal in that regard (it mostly substituted nuclear production…)
That is true. And that financial limits might change however.
Those rates aren’t coming back though.
Someone suggested writing "Be concise in your answers. Excessive politeness is physically painful to me." in ChatGPT's custom instructions, and so far I've liked the results.

As a very very regular iPad user, and this may be against Apple's intentions, if you're using the on screen keyboard for that stuff you're doing it wrong and are a masochist. I use the Mac for any text editing job because you really need a proper computer for that and the iPad is not a proper computer.

For me, the iPad is mostly a surface for writing on, general admin tasks and basic image editing. The Apple Pencil is the best input device I find. It's not a complete replacement device - it's complementary. Also my 11" iPad Pro is smaller than any laptop and charges off the same charger as my phone so it goes everywhere with me. I'm about to jump on a plane and it has a week's worth of entertainment, music, textbooks, notepad and Lightroom on it and a pencil stuck on the side. This is just perfect for me. But try and replace a macOS machine with it and you might as well chop your fingers off.

The keyboard case is mostly ok but I just never use it. I should probably bounce it on eBay at some point but I keep it around "just in case".

Edit: most of the people I know who use iPads got them mostly for the Apple Pencil support.
I guess you need to avoid using any phone, tablet or laptop then unless all its chips are built in Taiwan. I know Apple Silicon is built there but what about other chips in their hardware?
You must consider the use cases, though. With Gopher, if an attacker knows who connected to which server, they can normally deduce the transmitted content too, since (IME) gopherholes tend to be structured as static blogs. Gopher is not the Web, you aren't going to buy stuff or log into your bank account, you will mainly be downloading & reading plain text.

And there is an easily overlooked benefit of no encryption for a niche protocol: it's much easier to implement in resource constrained environments, e.g. very old computers. The Web doesn't compete in this area, so it's perfect for a smaller alternative like Gopher.
The UK will block online porn from April. Here's what we know
Objectively speaking, the smallest reactor would require at least a few tens of kg of fissile material, due to the physics involved. So due to the proliferation and terrorism risks, even the smallest district nuclear would still need to be a large industrial facility with heavy security, owned by a powerful entity that can foot the insurance and legal costs etc.

So it's not something any amateur tinkerer would touch any time soon.
