> If you get put on a PIP, you know what game you're playing, and you absolutely should not quit. Make them fire you, and collect unemployment. Then move on to the next host.

What game is that? It's common for employers to use PIPs to create a paper trail prior to terminating somebody who doesn't get the memo that they are not making the grade. That's because performance reviews tend to under-document problems, which leaves the employer open to problems if the matter ends up in court. (Which is not particularly surprising--most people including managers are uncomfortable giving unvarnished feedback.)
I’m not talking about desktop Windows, I’m talking about all the services that are bought because people are tied into windows. From domain management tooling through to productivity suites.

You could liken it to the pay-to-win model in that Windows is dirt cheap if you’re not doing anything serious in it. But the moment you want something more business-ready, your costs are going to skyrocket.
I think this also applies to dynamic typing. Nowadays we see a shift back to typed languages because most people who use dynamically typed languages don't bother add even type hints (which is awful in a JS/Python codebase).
I am a big sci-fi fan and I disagree here. I think there is a difference between soft and hard sci-fi, but that difference is more about how consistency with the rules is treated. Soft sci-fi can be thought of as fantasy with a future setting, while hard scifi sticks to it's own world rules tightly, and often explores the consequences of these rules and the characters are just a means for that. (Relatedly, I think there can be hard and soft fantasy as well)

Greg Egan is often cited as one of the current greats when it comes to hard sci-fi. His novels explore some very far out ideas in terms of how the world may work, but he sticks to the consistency and really explores the politics and consequences of that universe.

Clarke also does this, but to a somewhat lesser extent. In many of his stories, the world and its rules are the main character, and the actual beings are the supporting characters.

They declined to give Elon Musk control when he offered them a billion to save the company. Instead they turned around and gave up control to Microsoft for billions.

Do you honestly believe that if you were in Elon Musks shoes, that you would have given away a billion dollars without any conditions? How would you feel when you saw them turn around and sell out to Microsoft instead?
Expecting $1B unconditionally seems like an asshole expectation. Delusional and childish entitlement.

I like “have your cake and eat it too” - partly because it’s a pointless saying. You can always have cake and eat it, but you can’t eat your cake and then also have it.

So what people should really say is that someone wants to “eat their cake and have it too” but they don’t. But that’s really what they mean by the saying “have your cake and eat it too”.

While not fresh on the specifics of this controversy, my implicit understanding through Manufacturing Consent was that the Cambodian genocide was more likely a consequence of the United States bombing Cambodia's arable farmland into a booby trapped hellscape, which caused many people to flee to the capital. After some geopolitical games the US played, a psychopath became head of state for Cambodia, and one of those initiatives was ordering those starving people to suddenly leave the capital and go farm, and another was to unalive people at death camps. I don't think he denied the genocide. It makes a lot of sense that many people died of famine as a direct consequence of US destruction of arable farmland, and that the US would create a narrative to hide that and did not let the tragedy of Pol Pot "go to waste".

It seems the internet has decided some narrative about Elon Musk which is not true, and people go around repeating it.

If you talk to actual employees, especially early and senior employees, you find that Elon Musk is absolutely pivotal to the engineering direction.
Somewhat related: check out the book "The Way of the World" (L'Usage du monde, in the original French) [0] by Nicolas Bouvier about a pair of friends that travel by car from Switzerland to India in the 1960s. As others have mentioned, such a trip may be impossible today.

That CEO (Musk or anyone else) would need a pretty solid set of reasons for doing so. And vague talk of "privacy concerns" isn't a solid reason. Evidence rather than arguments. But, then again, facts don't seem to matter to some people any more.

I think that all AI is overhyped.

I also don't particularly like the technology (morally/ethically) because of what it says about what our country and tech in particular prioritizes.

So huge disclaimer aside that I'm biased and find it disgusting...

Technically... we will see I suppose, I just haven't seen anything very useful personally yet. There are some cool automations I imagine you could come up with and it might (tiny possibility) have a market with the kinds of people that already find stuff like Siri/Hands free useful. Not sure you'd ever turn a profit, but building it into your platform as a large tech co. you might find some adopters.

On the other hand...I can totally see it ruining the internet and a bunch of other stuff I enjoy.

Maybe as like a fancy playwright or testing platform it could be useful, but I'm not a web programmer so I'm really not the right person to speculate on that.

Christopher Hitchens on Chomsky and 9/11:

"...it would be a credulous fool who swallowed the (unsupported) word of Osama Bin Laden that his group was the one responsible. An attempt to kidnap or murder an ex-president of the United States (and presumably, by extension, the sitting one) would be as legally justified as the hit on Abbottabad. And America is an incarnation of the Third Reich that doesn’t even conceal its genocidal methods and aspirations. This is the sum total of what has been learned, by the guru of the left, in the last decade."

I'm Simon Strandgaard and I participated in ARCathon 2022 (solved 3 tasks) and ARCathon 2023 (solved 8 tasks).

I'm collecting data for how humans are solving ARC tasks, and so far collected 4100 interaction histories (https://github.com/neoneye/ARC-Interactive-History-Dataset). Besides ARC-AGI, there are other ARC like datasets, these can be tried in my editor (https://neoneye.github.io/arc/).

I have made some videos about ARC:

Replaying the interaction histories, and you can see people have different approaches. It's 100ms per interaction. IRL people doesn't solve task that fast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQt7UZsYooQ

When I'm manually solving an ARC task, it looks like this, and you can see I'm rather slow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRdFLRpC6dk

What is weird. The way that I implement a solver for a specific ARC task is much different than the way that I would manually solve the puzzle. Having to deal with all kinds of edge cases.

Huge thanks to the team behind the ARC Prize. Well done.
Hopefully. Internet as it is is bad enough power wise for very little extra utility compared to some less bloated setup.

> Altman just did a big deal with Apple.

Musk on the other hand has built things. People can disparage him all they want, but I think every one of us is better off for tesla, neuralink, spacex and even the boring company and paypal. who cares if he opens his mouth on social media.

I mean, he went to russia to launch a rocket, figured out they were a mess, came back and... several years later the world is launching rockets all the time. (It's june 11, and just starlink launched 4 rockets since the beginning of the month)

The rocket stuff is like the rise of pc hardware, where things start happening faster and all of a sudden, commercial flights are putting people in space.

I kind of think openai got off mission, and won't be as good for everyone, except maybe in the sense that other folks like meta have opened up models like llama.

When would you say the downfall started? Do you think the recent achievements of the companies he's involved with are repeated luck? Would you say that all successful individuals were always successful or had pleasant personalities?

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Musk, but it's always interesting to see how his accomplishments are diminished. The attitudes towards Musk are remarkably similar to how others perceive Steve Jobs.

> I was able to build reliable software that would make my life much easier by allowing me to focus on my specialty, which is coding and definitely not designing.

It sounds like by leveraging your strength you've minimized your weakness; very cool.

Here are a few things that jump out at me:

1. "You must be logged in to generate a logo."

Understandable, but I'd like to try it first! For example, shortbread.ai used to have a "token" system where you could generate 2 comics before being required to log-in (but they've since changed to an "authenticate first" system like owlai.art).

2. "Community Logos" -> "Unauthorized - You are not authenticated"

Hmm...so, either hide the "Community Logos" link until you've logged in and advertise the "Community Logos" concept in the website copy (eg, "Generate a logo for your idea. Get inspired by seeing what others have created."), or let me see a small sample of what other things people are making.

If you're concerned that they'll copy logos without signing up, we can limit the set of displayed logos to say, 10 logos, with a SQL statement that collects the first 10 logos made today (so by constantly refreshing the page you won't be able to harvest a large collection of them).

But I have a feeling you're already doing that with the 4 logos displayed on the home page...so I'd just hide the "Community Logos" link and advertise the "Community Logos" feature in the website copy.

3. `https://owlai.art/` leads to a domain parking landing page? How about an immediate redirect that doesn't require JavaScript:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://app.owlai.art/">

4. When the viewport is less than 1024 pixels, the 4 sample logos disappear from the page! (MacBook with Brave)
I always thought Musk's turning point was in the pandemic when he was wrong about how dangerous it could be (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/13/business/Elon-Musk-tesla-...). And from there the decline began, but now I realize and remember that before 2020 he was already doing some crazy things...

Those are pretty different languages. One you just run as a script with no compilation and no static typing, the other is fully compiled and linked into a binary. How could they replace each other?

With all due respect to the author, I take umbrage with the statement "They never end up in the terminal, because that is a huge jump in complexity, usability, and frustration from using something like Airtable or Notion."

Using the command line isn't more complex, it's differently complex. It's differently complex and writ large, schools make no effort to teach it.
You're still missing the part where a not for profit literally turned itself into a multi billion dollar for profit company and no ones been held accountable.
Sure, there is a precautionary principle. Change nothing and you won't end up worse than before.

It depends on how risky you think the baseline factors are, and how risky you think the average new factor is. It also depends on how likely catastrophic risks are.

We know people don't drop dead from most things, so risk is generally at the fringe. Long lead times and low impact.

You then have to consider how many safe products you are missing out on to avoid the bad ones.

I think the the current paradigm is pretty reasonable. Screen for major known risks and then monitor and study

I think that breaks down when you compare Neolithic or pre-industrial man to now.

The entire world would be paralyzed with fear if it were afraid to do anything that it might regret in the future.
> There is a known, massively complex, relationship between sex and gender but it's not 1:1

You could argue though that it's only complex because we (collectively) decided to complicate it in order to accommodate the preferences of small subsets of society. In some other country, society might collectively decide not to accommodate said wishes and instead treat sex and gender as immutable and indistinguishable. Such a course would result in a simpler classification system: XX = female, XY = male, anything else = unclassified (genetic defect handled on a case-by-case basis).

I just knew the basics. So I was just following commands from stack overflow or similar. Silly me, thinking that it would work logically like other languages do! Later I ended up learning about all that stuff with venvs and whatnot, not to mention it's not even a unified solution but there are multiple alternatives, adding to the confusion... All this, no doubt, is a consequence of how terrible the Python packaging story is. Rust, Go, Ruby, Node, and more, I had used without remotely similar hassles.

Those apps still have to go through the notarization process and occasionally release updates that do nothing except change the notarization.

And sometimes apple will just mess up your developer account so you can't do the notarization meaning the apps stop working for users until apple fixes their mistake.
A concept that doesn’t relate to an aspect of reality, either directly or abstracted from basic concepts that directly relate, is meaningless and arbitrary. There is no way for intelligence to grasp it, let alone do something with it.

To put it another way, a thing that solves puzzles without an understanding of reality is a calculator. When it solves a problem, it is the creator’s intelligence solving the problem, not its own.
