This really can only work if the error messages map back to the right line number, right? I used to f with transpilation and if you can't get the error line at least, its a really huge overhead for not much gain, given that transpilation can only move the semantic needle so far.
The problem is, even smart 15 year olds with fresh takes have to learn that no matter how interesting their ideas are, the scientific establishment is much more focused on finding good evidence to support incremental discoveries, rather than wide-eyed speculation about how complex biological processes work.

(I was that 15 year old, and then after many years of sciencing, realized that it was nothing like what I thought, and that all my best ideas were either wrong, ahead of their time, or stolen by more accomplished scientists.
I still have my Newton and my HP-48SX. Yeah, the Newton was clearly ahead of its time. Maybe the main thing that "made" the iPhone was connectivity (and ofcourse having the "Internet" to connect to) - neither were really there for the Newton (or other PDAs for that matter). It's those intersections in technology Internet/Celluar network/Hardware/Software where things take off. An expensive cool PDA without the rest of it is just that. The iPhone was a little bit cheaper (again driven by hardware technologies maturing).
That seems like a big deal.

Yes. The root here is that large language models produce human-like passages of text, but they are devoid of any specific intelligence, per se. They can sound quite convincingly like your average internet denizens, but fundamentally - and critically - lack the ability to differentiate between truth and fiction.

There are a lot of cool things you can do with models that don’t require you to differentiate fact from fiction. For example, creative prompts, and to some degree customer service chats etc. But these are not intelligence, not do they demonstrate anything resembling it.

It seems as though there are a lot of very smart people who have a hard time wrapping their heads around this, including, somewhat incredibly, some of the top researchers in the field. I think there is, in some researchers, a deep, Frankenstein-like desire for their creations to truly be something, and we see this manifest in unfounded, religion-like delusions. All despite these same folks carrying a deep academic understanding of the true nature of these models.

It’s because they don’t know the value and/or they are bad at negotiating. That’s why they want to avoid it. Likewise, when I invest my retirement money, I just want to buy a broad index fund where I know I am getting the market-clearing price. I don’t want to have to know a guy who can get me a great deal on Microsoft stock, could I come down to the lot and talk about it?

Prices fluctuate. Airplane tickets double in price overnight, and some of that is price discrimination. But the rules are clear: last-minute tickets are a more valuable commodity. At any time, I can check one website and see reliable prices all flights between two places. I don’t have to go to each airline website anymore, much less talk to a human.

I am so sick of reading this shallow dismissal.

It’s a classic bad faith argument where the offender tries to undermine the victims rights by claiming: “in fact I’m really just defending this other persons rights!”

It’s an intentionally obtuse strawman to say “people who sound similar to”.

It’s more than just Johansson’s voice. It’s meant to evoke the character she played in a film.

A performance that she developed and provided for a role for a project she worked on.

You may be unable or unwilling to appreciate that as work, or even hard work, but it is, and this skeezy company knows it too because they were so taken by that performance that they wanted to use it in their product.

I’ll frame it in a way people on this site can understand.

The half-life of americium-241 is about 432 years, that’s a huge advantage. The Voyager probes at half power and because of exponential decay it’s not easy to simply start with more Pu-238 to compensate. You need to deal with dumping exponentially more waste heat at the beginning when you want to extend their lifespan. Not everyone needs to last that long, but Opportunity died 15 years after launch plenty of time for a significant reduction in power output.

Per DuckDuckGo, the 2nd definition of “pusillanimous” in the American Heritage Dictionary is:

> Destitute of a manly or courageous strength and firmness of mind; of weak spirit; mean-spirited; spiritless; cowardly; -- said of persons,

“Destitute of a manly spirit” implies that there is such a thing as a manly spirit one can be more or less possessed of… that falls well and truly under the scope of the meaning of toxic masculinity.

And perhaps you, for some reason, think that women aren’t perfectly able to engage in toxic masculinity?

Either way, I only use the term where and when appropriate.
Given that the "rural common people" were just as happy killing each other for access to land, good luck finding the "real" owner.

Seriously, there are lots of things wrong with the allocation of wealth and property around the world, but "it was stolen during the agricultural revolution" is an absolutely meaningless argument. Britain e.g. has 900k years of human history. (With the first humans only visiting between cold spells).

There is no "true first owner".

Why does Alan as a health insurer have so many audits?
I can ask ChatGPT to write code and assess myself whether it's correct or not. (It's frequently not, but it can still be useful for certain tasks.) I can ask it to explain something about the industry I work in or adjacent fields and have a pretty good sense of whether it's leading me in the right direction. But if I asked it to teach me about, say, Chinese history, I would have very little ability to assess whether it's telling me the truth or sprinkling little falsehoods into things. I would only be able to catch the most blatant mistakes; the rest would require more detailed independent research.

Australia solved this differently - it's illegal to have an unfenced pool precisely because young children wander and fall into pools and drown. We understand that kids shouldn't die.

Altman's biggest accomplishment is being out of the way. Great work is done despite management, not because of it. It's the ability to hire the right people and get out of their hair. Altman himself has no talents, he is not technical. He is just well-connected in the Valley. But, at least Altman is not the wrecking ball like Elon Musk is, and that's really his only job - to not micromanage.

> eliminating SFTW thinking from the global shipping trade is no small task; according to Marine Log it's a practice that dates back to the age of sail. It's embedded in hard-fought, long-term contracts between shipping companies, customers, ports, dockworkers and all the many dependent services that plug into global logistics, sometimes with incentives.

So just change the entire processes for global shipping that have existed for hundreds of years. Such a simple idea.
I see, so you're claiming that if AI can be utilized to solve the problem, and it's determined to be useful, then it should be allowed to be on a test as a result, in the same way that a graphing calculator is no longer considered cheating?

I think the disagreement I have is that I think part of the reason calculators are allowed on calculus tests is because they're actually not that useful for a lot of what they teach you in calculus. I had a graphing calculator in my math and physics classes in high school, but most of my work was still done with a pen and paper. The calculator was of course useful for the arithmetic stuff, and it could be useful to sanity-check your work (e.g. to see if the roots you calculated were correct), but I still had to do most of the actual calculus by hand.

Even when I got a calculator with a CAS built in (HP 50G), I would still have to do most of the algebra by hand, and honestly if my teachers had known that my calculator had a CAS I suspect they wouldn't have allowed me to use it to begin with.

Not to mention -1% is not a "plunge", it is well within the normal variance.
I have to agree. Bash works fine in its environment, and while there are times when another language might be more appropriate for whatever reason, Bash works. I can run it on any box I have access to and if I stay away from utils that aren't preinstalled, I don't need to worry about dependencies. I've found that python is far more version and dependency driven.

Don't at least the parents of the kid that drowned in your pool while trespassing on your land get at least a charge of "criminal negligence" against them? IANAL, but aren't kid's <14 supposed to be supervised at all times by an adult? And 14+ years old that drowns in a pool for inability to swim is also something that should be blamable on the parents, not the pool owner.

Edit with clarifications after comments: I meant, parent's should be supervising their young kids, or take the risk/blame, if something happens to the kids while they aren't.

(I roamed 'unsupervised' in fields and forest at young age with friends, and enjoyed it. But I was also taught to look where I step, and how to swim)
I listen to Juniper all the time and I've listened to the clips of Sky and Scarlett Johansson (as "Her") side-by-side. It's pretty easy to be certain.

> Whether the voice is exactly the same is largely irrelevant.

I find that argument extremely disturbing. The facts are we have a voice that was developed months ago, is a real person, and actually sounds nothing like Scarlett Johansson. The actress is not even doing a Scarlett Johansson impression. It's also just one of many selections. And yet, somehow, a crime has been committed?
Visions of the future: formal verification in Rust
I think this is an out of touch perspective. Big industry music has never been more irrelevant since radio stopped being the main way people discovered new bands. I notice that with my peers (early 20's), I listen to at most 20% of the same music as someone with similar tastes to me, and most of what both of us listen to is independently released from small artists. While industry backed musicians are still the largest artists in the world by sheer numbers, they have never been less relevant.

Also YouTube and tiktok are really good at recommending obscure/independent artists if you actively search for independent music. Like Spotify and YouTube aren't actively promoting and finically compensating independent artists because they are being payed off by the "industry" to suppress what you consider "good" music, they just recommend what's most likely to keep someone on their service and they pay poorly because streaming services don't have an actual business model beyond growth hacking.

Seriously, we have nothing over here. All the land was bought up, often before there even was a united states. And the forests we do have tend to be very heavily regulated. You want to do anything it's all pay for permit and be clustered with a bunch of other permit buyers.

I am not aware of single forest in the Northeast where you can just drive in, camp, and leave without breaking the law.
> Somehow, humans managed to get by for thousands of years without any of this stuff.

In very different societies. Our societies have gradually become less and less like what we evolved to fit into: small groups, time out doors, lots of face to face contact with people you are close to etc.

Some past societies were pretty miserable for many people. I am pretty sure slaves had lots of trauma and other psychological problems, but not one cared. Even where people were cared about there were no consistent records kept so maybe we do not know.

> Conversely, my more religious friends (Catholic, Muslim) seem happier and more resilient psychologically.

I think religious faith and practices probably do help. However, that is not a practical solution because it is not something you can fake. You cannot just decide to believe something, and you may need faith rather than just belief to get the benefits. The benefits are a side effect of the aims of the religion (developing a relationship with God, achieving nirvana, etc.) and will not happen unless you are sincerely following the aim.

Religions have practices and ideas that help resilience, and sometimes those parallel ideas in psychology and therapy - but for the reasons above will not work out of context.

That is even without taking into account the possibility that (some) religious beliefs are true and, for example, God will (at least sometimes) answer a sincere prayer for the strength to cope with your problems. Maybe your Catholic and Muslim friends are receiving divine support - or just believing in a constant loving and perfect parental figure is a source of comfort that promotes resilience.
