I’m sure I’m biased, since I code mainly in Python. List/dict comprehensions read the same to me as the longer form, just more concisely. This can be taken too far, and you can wind up with horribly obtuse one-liners that are just awful.

that's not really true. Because of network capture, those who wants to contribute into some public free human knowledge, obligated to do it through wikimedia and contribute to wikimedia revenue streams.
> But the worst is that the company stops allowing all internal employees from filling out forms for anyone.

That would be a positive outcome.

The two-tier system is bullshit and creates a bubble that further insulates companies/employees from feedback about broken processes, because everyone in their social graph is exempt.

Far better they have to deal with friends telling them how bad the public appeal process is.
That is an indie success, almost 400 reviews for that price is good for a solo developer, he can live well on that as long as he continues to create and sell content for.

Failures are games with 50 or less reviews or a bit more if they have much lower price points, there aren't many gems at that level. Note that a large majority of indie game developers don't live in USA, indie gaming isn't dominated by American developers unlike the regular software industry.
>Why would you ever buy a game off Steam again if you can just ask your game making AI to make you the exact game you want, even just copying the damn description out of steam?

If we're assuming AGI levels of development, AAA scope, and very little compile time: cost. If it costs $20/month (VERY optimistic) to use an AI program to make your stuff, and some dude on Fiverr offers to pay $2 to make your game for you, the better deal is to "hire a dev".

Also should never underestimate the power of community and brands. Even if you can make your own Ironman, people will still want to see and talk with each other about the Ironman movie. That's why making a competent knockoff that may in fact improve on the original movie/game will still sell nowhere near as well. Companies pay a lot of advertising to make that the case.
> why would they try to resume negotiations

Could they be trying to avert possible negative public perception even if they believe all they did was 100% legal? If you have ample funds and are willing to pay someone to make X easier for you does your offer to pay them imply that X is against the law? If your voice sounds like someone famous now you are prevented from getting any voice acting work? Because that famous person owns the rights to your voice? Tell me which law says this?
Reddit no longer has communities, it has groupings of posts on a specific topic.

Reddit is no longer filled with 30 something, educated, fairly well off professionals (or people who could well off but have chosen different priorities) accessing it from their computers as part of a creative cycle on their PCs. It is now filled with less well off, younger, and lesser educated/experienced people accessing it as a distraction from their phone.

Except for kind of in the recent travertine/hominid fossil thread (which was nothing compared to historic domain expertise) you no longer have domain experts pop up on most every thread with interesting responses. Even the humorous responses are algorithmic at this point.

Reddit is, in fact, dead. Long live Digg 4.0 reinvented as Reddit.
During take-off and landing, it is. At cruise altitude, it really does mean "the pilots are expecting turbulence and suggest you stay seated", at least in my experience.

Of course they don't always get it right both ways: Sometimes reports of turbulence ahead turn out to be false positives, and at other times, strong turbulence can happen without any warning.
I’ve never left anywhere I didn’t hate for 10%.

If we are comparing apples to apples though—same job with an option for 2 interviews, no coding interview, no take home test, but there’s a 90 day probationary period. Versus no probationary period with a 2 month long 7 round interview cycle, I’d take the probationary period in a heartbeat.
Considering the article has a “prior art” section, I assume a literature review would be appropriate.

My confidence is shaken considering the sparse “prior art” section links to Apple M1 as an example of “fast file systems”.
Before this existed, it's likely that most internal requests are from employees genuinely trying to help people. Sure, it's possible there's some employees already taking money to submit internal forms rather than personally evaluating the applicant's morals, but it's unlikely that it's very widespread. Formalizing the process like this website does makes it much more likely that most submissions to internal forms for unbanning people will be in exchange for money with no moral consideration, due to 1) making a marketplace to match applicants and suitably unscrupulous employees; 2) reducing friction for actually executing the transaction; and 3) by being explicitly money-oriented attracting employees who are very much not in it to help unfairly banned applicants. Those factors make this seem far more ethically repugnant than existing processes

> If Hamas did so, on Oct. 6 they would have lived in peace.

Peace in the sense of no actual violence, perhaps. But, from everything I’ve read, the actual conditions imposed on Gaza by Israel prior to October 7 seem barely tolerable by those at the receiving end. As far as I can tell, the West Bank has merely been peaceful-ish.

> If they did so now, the civilians of Gaza would live in peace

There are ~2.4 million people in Gaza, total land area of 141 square miles, no usable water or electricity (does anyone actual believe that, if Israel turned the water and electricity supplies back on right now, that anything would actually work?) and nowhere near enough food. Reports suggest that over half of the housing stock has been destroyed. There wasn’t a whole lot of economic activity before the war.

What would happen if Hamas disarmed itself tomorrow? Or disappeared outright? I don’t think Gaza would magically be okay.
Is a ‘computer hardware engineer’ different from a ‘hardware engineer’? I think of a ‘hardware engineer’ as someone who works on the development of ICs (or things on FPGAs). I would guess that people in such a role are paid a lot less than software engineers (at comparably sized companies) in the US, and a bit less in the UK (though maybe with more variance). But the numbers you give are lower than I would expect for eg ‘hardware engineer working at Arm/Qualcomm’. There’s also hardware engineering in finance, which can pay well, but not a lot of it.
Good story. Reading this reminds me of all the "curious cases of....." that I've solved (or in some cases not solved) over my career and how that feeling of triumph is so deeply tied to why I got into computers in the first place. The pure joy of unraveling the mysteries of engineering... like forgetting a semi-colon somewhere in a 50k LOC Perl backend.
It's not "moralfagging", it's just so idiotic to do this while being an employee. It is in fact so insanely stupid that one should get fired for the ineptitude alone.

This is simply not true. A voice actor doesn’t have to be skilled at changing their voice, especially in this context. Many are hired for their natural voice, like narration. When most film actors do voice acting, they’re just using their voice. They’re not hired for being chameleons.

I really just don't understand the outrage here, it's a terminal emulator, communication with external services has always been possible and has always been very easy.

And iTerm2 itself has allowed for custom python scripts to be loaded for a long time [https://iterm2.com/python-api/] easily modifying the behavior (and also allowing outbound connections wherever...)

If you work in a sensitive environment and outbound connections to OpenAI are already blocked on the network level (or even better iTerm is only able to communicate to whitelisted hosts, then problem solved... there really is no issue here for people to be so worked up about).

Sounds like legal really needs to understand these tools better.
Are you referring to doing impressions where the act lasts for a few minutes, or are you saying that Jim Carrey actually impersonated other celebrity voice for like a whole movie or interview?

> The author doesn’t deliver on the promise made early on the essay to examine the question: Why have UIs gotten so sparse?

It is dumbing down of user interfaces to the level of general public. Specialty software UIs are still pretty dense and serious users of such software would actually complain about attempts at making things sparse such as using ribbon UIs instead of menus, etc.

> It’s like entire web design world decided more whitespace is better, and won’t hear anything about it. And now some desktop apps are being designed like web apps...

At the company I work for, "Microsoft does it this way" is a valid design argument (unfortunately). So, it is not like the entire web "decides" to do things in a certain way, but the entire web "follows" a few leaders (Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.) with their design trends. And, of course, these companies change their designs every other year and the whole web follows.
Interesting to note that after the Federal Reserve Bank was established in 1919, the crises have only gotten more severe... This is ironic given that the Fed was established to increase stability.

Not surprising though. It's a well known fact that debt/leverage increases volatility. What the Fed did is remove the limits which constrained the amount of debt in the system... For all we know, we could have been living an inefficient economic lie for 30 years and not realize it so long as new debts are taken out faster than the old ones are repaid... But what about when the borrowing slows down? Where will debtors find the liquidity if not from freshly injected credit? That's what's been happening over the past few decades. New borrowers monetizing the pyramid schemes of old borrowers... What happens when the economy runs out of suckers to enter at the bottom of the pyramid and the government is in perma-bailout mode. Zimbabwe rings a bell.

Self reply to start a new thread of conversation, the lack of consideration of these factors is incredibly stereotypical of "Valley techbros" and the mismatch in values between people who'd make this kind of site and people who'd find this kind of site awful is why many people outside of Silicon Valley aren't as enthused about tech companies as the tech companies themselves are
as a nitpick, you can argue there was no "AAA title" in 1994. Games like MGS2, FF7, and RE2 in '97/'98 is where we commonly consider to be the beginning of the moniker for "AAA".

But yeah, GTA 3 was over 20 years ago. A bit sad that it's still non-trivial to make a game that scope as one person, mostly because 480p assets and fixed lighting pipelines won't cut it anymore (regardless of scope).

"The instructions corresponding to a conventional language might be expressed something like the following:

Select an apple from the box. If it is good, set it aside in some place reserved for the good apples; if it is not good, discard it. Select a second apple; if it is good put it in the reserved place, and if it is not good discard it. ... Continue in this manner examining each apple in turn until all of the good apples have been selected. In summary, then, examine the apples one at a time starting with the first one we pick up and finishing with the last one in the box until we have selected and set aside all of the good apples. On the other hand the instructions corresponding to an array language could be stated simply as “Select all of the good apples from the box.” Of course, the apples would still have to be examined individually, but the apple-by-apple details could be left to the helper.

Conventional programming languages may be considered then “one-apple-at-a-time” languages with machine languages being a very primitive form, whereas array languages may be considered “all-the-apples-at-once” languages. In two of the following three sections we shall consider the array languages APL and its “modern dialect” J with an intervening section giving a short discussion of the array language Nial which was influenced by APL."

We're way beyond it, but they are still stuck with some of the unfortunate early decisions for back-compat reasons. E.g. the fact that strings, arrays, and other collections are strictly reference types, or that arrays in particular are covariant despite being mutable. Swift is much more consistent in that things that are semantically values are also value types.

Bron's father's prose from Brideshead rather sums up (with the necessary change in brackets) why I may come across as oikophobic at times:

> ...we had been through it together, the [Old Country] and I ... until now, when nothing remained to us except the chill bonds of law and duty and custom. I had played every scene in the domestic tragedy, had found the early tiffs become more frequent, the tears less affecting, the reconciliations less sweet, till they engendered a mood of aloofness and cool criticism, and the growing conviction that it was not myself but the loved one who was at fault. I caught the false notes in her voice and learned to listen for them apprehensively ... I learned ... the routine and mechanism of her charm, her jealousy and self-seeking, and her nervous trick with the fingers when she was lying.

I get your point, but you still need a time arrow to say that something is conscious. Sure, you can e.g. encode all the states of the system over time and represent it as one big-ass integer, but at that point the most that you could say is that what the integer describes was conscious.

It's important to be precise. The position of a small subset of the "objects" are determined by the physics engine. You might have a character with 100s of thousands of vertices, but only a single capsule is in the physics engine. The movement of the characters fingers is not determined by the physics system.
Was OpenAI was passing off their AI model as Johansson? Obviously not.

If anything OpenAI tried to mimic the AI from the film Her and owners of that film may try to seek compensation. I hope that fails but they can try.
