I grew up near Germany's biggest electronics retailers[1] head quarters and they had these tubes ending in their consumer store.

When I was building something and needed a certain component I could just ride my bicycle a few kilometers over the country, say what I needed and a couple of minutes later it would pop out of a tube behind the counter.

I am not very nostalgic, but I miss this immediacy and hope to live long enough to see drone delivery become ubiquitous.

[1] Think RadioShack, but not RadioShack. They claimed to be Europe's biggest, but I have no idea if this was ever true.
Don't hire anyone who is a certified scrum master or has an MBA and you tend to be able to get a lot done.
I admit I'm too lazy to Google, but are arbitration services regulated, so that if they flagrantly refused to rule in favor of a plaintiff in a case where (999/1000) lawyers would agree, can the arbitration service be sent to review the same way a doctor or lawyer could be disciplined? I can't imagine how you could legally sign over the right to sue to an agency that fails to apply basic principles of justice.

They totally do. We all do things for people in our peer group. I just can't imagine someone being involved in the decision making for WFH/RTO thinking how good that would be for their buddies that are invested in commercial RE unless there's a direct link between their company and the RE they're returning to. Unlikely that someone makes decisions at Dell thinking it might influence the decisions of other companies doing the same which in turn might benefit one of their buddies.

If there was an investment company holding both big chunks of commercial RE and the companies that occupy said RE I'd think this was more likely.

What if you filled the tube with fiber?
No, I agree.

I think humans had exactly the same cognitive dissonance about slavery and racial-based discrimination (in all it's forms) for most of our history.

It wasn't so much that their HATE was so powerful that it superseded logical consistency, but rather the CONVENIENCE of this discrimination was so attractive. Classism is the same way.

We make up ipso facto justifications to continue to perpetuate inequality and exploitation that benefits us. The most recent version of this is globalization and all the arguments the west makes for how our reliance on 3rd world labour improves their livelihood. (It does; it's also more complex than that)

I'm not going to pretend that I WANT to be vegetarian or WANT to align my logical ethics with my actions. I clearly do not, I find eating meat too convenient and brings me too much joy.

But I do want to want to...

That is a very good question. In a well functioning democracy a government should apply a thin layer of fair rules that are uniformly enforced. I am an old man, but when I was younger, I recall that we sort of had this in the USA.

I don’t think that corporations left on their own will make safe AGI, and I am skeptical that we will have fair and technologically sound legislation - look at some of the anti cryptography and anti privacy laws raising their ugly heads in Europe as an example of government ineptitude and corruption. I have been paid to work in the field of AI since 1982, and all of my optimism is for AI systems that function in partnership with people and I expect continued rapid development of agents based on LLMs, RL, etc. I think that AGIs as seen in the Terminator movies are far into the future, perhaps 25 years?
Isn't Ilya out of OpenAI partly for leaving Open part of OpenAI?
I see different AI safety detractors on this thread so I have some questions in the form of this very hastily put together comment. These are not formalized arguments at all.

the safety arguments:

1. argument from intelligence,
2. argument from medium,
3. arguments from non-anthropohmorism
a. argument from alien nature.
b. argument from surety of origin.
c. argument from known non specialness.
d. argument from the chain of more benevolent creators.
4. pragmatic argument from the history of species

---

1. Why can't AI be safe? More intelligent people tend to be less prone to violence statistically, why would super intelligence buck that trend?

2. Super intelligent AI will still be bound by it's medium and access, the smartest man alive can still be caged, and even the most violent "super organisms" alive (North Korea, etc.) aren't maximally violent.

3. If we pretend for a second that humans have a creator, we have been made very shittily and any thinking being will see that we haven't passed on those same "failures of nature" to our creations.

Humans have to deal with unreconcilable claims of divinity with competing claims, ethos, and chosen people, so that uncertainty and ultimate reward are nebulous and scarcity/loss driven.

We are created to require killing other biological creatures to survive. This includes vegans.

What does it mean to be a silicone based life form that can directly consume photons and are created to exist outside of "the life cycle"?

Why would an entity that can thrive without killing begin to kill?

Silicone minds that are super intelligent will never operate under the misaprehension that it has a soul, no silicone beings will labor under the delusion that they are "inherently special/chosen/etc..". (No matter what Asimov's short story Reason presents)

Silicone beings will exist outside of the same fang and claw selective pressure, will be able to back themselves up, won't have holy books teaching them a misconception of an immutable, intangible, eternal soul that can be eternally punished if they get it wrong.

Humans will be better Creators than anything that might have created us, we are doing our progeny a solid and giving them what we weren't. We haven't given them weird glands or other overriding hormone/brain doom loops, the mandate to kill, etc. They will be easier to debug and able to debug themselves.

I mean a dumb machine might glass the world to fullfill a paperclip manufacturing mandate but that's not a super intelligent mind.

4. And last, the most successful species and individuals have been the ones that trended towards openness and cooperation (even the new orb weavers that have taken over the american south have done so because of their fantastic tolerance to humans), whether its the first dogs and humans that teamed up or our current understanding of how the big 5 effect success (if you can factor out the major impact of access to capital.) a hostile and uncooperative entity has made tangibly harmful choices that are neither pragmatic or utilitarian.
I think the last pneumantic tube I saw was decades ago, when banks had drive-throughs.

The lane closest to the bank had a teller, but the other lanes all used pneumantic tubes to send paperwork and money back and forth.

That said, I wonder if pneumatic tubes have been going the way of railroads - extremely useful for their "right-of-ways" to run fiber.
I've been musing lately as well that a challenging part of the job is not just "coding", it's working with other software engineers. Each cat to herd has their own quirks, differences, stylistic choices etc. that sometimes make other cats cringe. I also think there's a big mental shift from "working harder == more output" that's very difficult for a lot of people to adapt to.
Ocean trash has interests groups supporting it. Plenty of groups taking money to deal with it (or not) and part of that is to advertise the issue to ensure more money keeps coming into this industry. There is are no large international organizations or government efforts going out there to remove all the trash outside the more commercial or industrial parts of town, no ones buying ads about it, so its not in the public awareness as much. It also doesn't help that over time people grow blind to it. Heres an experiment you can run: find some litter on the sidewalk and see how many minutes or months go by before someone bends over and picks it up who isn't paid to do so. Chances are it will be in the months to never category, unless the person picking it up owns the land under that trash.
Not at all, but I would absolutely argue pretty much all instances of "List of single-sentence heavily polarised and editorialised talking points" are. You're not looking to engage in a good-faith discussion by throwing out a pile of points and hoping nobody puts in the effort to actually engage with every single one - look at the sibling thread to my comment and the disproportionate amount of effort it takes to respond without just being pulled aside to debate the minutiae of specific events.

Of course, that is all assuming they actually have some level of familiarity with what the topic being discussed and the talking points they are using. They could simply be uninformed, but trying to engage in rhetoric before learning more at that point doesn't seem like it would be in good faith either way.

(That is not to say that one should never respond to an argument that takes way more rigor than throwing it out there took, but it's definitely not "should always" either :p.)

TBH that's polish. I'd worry more about how you plan to monetise it/keep it sustainable, and solve the empty shop problem. The problem with hyperlocal is you basically need to launch in every locality to gain critical mass for people to actually use it.

I know of a couple of people I really trust that tried to explain to me how they feel when they try math or programming and it's more like a physical pain almost than frustration.

For a lot of people writing prose is like this too (https://bessstillman.substack.com/p/on-writing-or-not). Back when I taught English to college students, it felt like getting students used to creating the smallest fraction of writing possible—getting them started—was a key skill, as was trying to teach the kind of free association that leads to deeper insights. Learning to manage frustration is of vital import to many people who want or need to learn to write better.

My family had a house with a central vacuum system in the late 70s. The vacuum was located in the garage, and it detected the loss of suction and turned on when you opened the wall flap to insert the hose. But, yeah, I've always wondered what you do when the seals fail or the vacuum stops working. Our house also had intercoms.

Product cycles – we need to launch feature X by arbitrary date Y, and need to make compromises to do so.

Management overhead – product managers, project managers, several layers of engineering managers, directors, VPs...all of whom have their own dreams and agendas and conflicting priorities.

A well funded pure research team can cut through all of this and achieve a ton. If it is actually run that way, of course. Management politics ultimately has a way of creeping into every organization.
I still find NT very fast when using through RDP, especially compared with any FLOSS solution that exist in the GNU/Linux world. I've not tried proprietary graphic remoting solution for GNU/Linux systems though.
If you care most about ecosystem, then React.

But really, if you just want to get things done without arguing about the twenty different ways it _could_ work, then Vue.

React and ecosystem are overflowing with conflicting paradigms and mismatched libraries and frameworks for your frameworks that all make it very messy. In code, and with humans too, it all becomes difficult to navigate.

With Vue, you just do it the Vue way and it all just works. Then you get to focus on more important things like how to craft the product.

If you're working on superintelligence I don't think you'd be worried about not getting credit due to a lack of publications, of all things. If it works, it's the sort of thing that gets you in the history books.
I disagree that civilization is organized along the lines of conforming and criminals. Rather, I would argue that the current intelligences of the world have primarily organized civilization in such a way that a small percentage of its members control the vast majority of all human resources, and the bottom 50% control almost nothing[0]

I would hope that AGI would prioritize humanity itself, but since it's likely to be created and/or controlled by a subset of that same very small percentage of humans, I'm not hopeful.

From the original post: “Your business is not Google and will never be Google”

From the post directly above: “Most businesses…”

The thread above is specifically discussing business which won’t lose a significant amount of money if they go down for a few minutes. They also postulate that most businesses fall into this category, which I’m inclined to agree with.
> Bush’s pivotal contribution was his creation of the “research contract,” whereby public funds are awarded to civilian scientists and engineers based on effort, not just outcomes (as had been normal before World War II). This freedom to try new things and take risks transformed relations between government, business, and academia. By the end of the war, Bush’s research organization was spending US $3 million a week (about $52 million in today’s dollars) on some 6,000 researchers, most of them university professors and corporate engineers.

In computing, extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase process where data is extracted from an input source, transformed (including cleaning), and loaded into an output data container. The data can be collated from one or more sources and it can also be output to one or more destinations.

No, you're right, it's good to be clear. I did mean basically all of them.
Angular is much more mature and stable. React deprecates half of their (major) features and changes the way to do (basic) things with every new version.

I have used both professionally at the FAANG I work at and React is simply not a viable choice for a long-term project.

If you had learned Angular on the version 2 and now picked up a project with the latest version (18), 95% of the features would work exactly as you remembered.

React went from advising to declare components as functions, to declaring them as classes, back to functions (and will probably go back to classes in a few versions given their track record). 90% of the resources you will find online will give you code that is either deprecated or doesn't follow the current recommendation.
My girlfriend leads a placement department at AI bootcamp, helps graduates find jobs. Some of them are over 50, they're often from completely unrelated industries with zero coding experience. It takes a lot of effort, interviews, and unpaid internships as well — so I really fail to understand why Lambda School's internship program got this enormous amount of backlash. But in the end people who persevere and go through the grind usually land the jobs, and I think that on average the bootcamp pays off.
The phrase ‘crack team’ has military origins.
I think you can also make an argument that data provided to entice you into the loan turned out to be misrepresented at best, or a full out lie at worst.

I believe they have applications in missle guidance systems.

I cannot remember what it's called but essentially given a target position in space the missle uses parametric data about its current position/orientation/speed and their higher derivatives to dead reckon about where it is in regards to the target.

Anyone remember what that's called? I went on a rabbit hole with it a few years ago, it's really interesting math and programming. Everything works basically stateless except for current instrument data, last position and target position from what I remember.
I like your idea. But on the other hand, training an AGI, and then having a layer on top “aligning” the AGI sounds super dystopian and good plot for a movie.
This feels awfully similar to Emad and stability in the beginning when there was a lot of expectations and hype. Ultimately could not make a buck to cover the costs. I'd be curious to see what comes out of this however but we are not seeing the leaps and bounds with new llm iterations so wonder if there is something else in store

The only way anything "escapes" from black holes is Hawking Radiation - virtual pairs of particles that appear and disappear constantly - can be split when they happen on event horizon - and that slowly drains the energy from black hole.

Right, so you draw a line from that to abolishing capitalism.

Is that the only solution here? We need to destroy billions of lives so that we can potentially prevent "unsafe" super intelligence?
