Very cool. When GPT-4 first came out I tried some very naive approaches using JSON representations on the puzzles [0], [1]. GPT-4 did "okay", but in some cases it felt like it was falling for the classic LLM issue of saying all the right things but then then failing to grasp some critical bit of logic and missing the solution entirely.

At the time I noticed that many of the ARC problems rely on visual-spatial priors that are "obvious" when viewing the grids, but become less so when transmuted to some other representation. Many of them rely on some kind of symmetry, counting, or the very human bias to assume a velocity or continued movement when seeing particular patterns.

I had always thought maybe multimodality was key: the model needs to have similar priors around grounded physical spaces and movement to be able to do well. I'm not sure the OP really fleshes this line of thinking out, brute forcing python solutions is a very "non human" approach.

"Idea that one mammal has unrelated thinking/sensing from other mammals does not makes sense."

Sure it does, you can see it all around you. It's so incredibly apparent that its actually possible to miss it. It's like a fish denying the existence of water.
In many cases, it is not a big deal to just open a few links and figure it out. Fandom's content is usually too crap and incomplete. I have been mostly avoiding fandom and fextralife because of content reasons, and I had no idea of all the drama around them.
Client side scanning is going to be required, it doesn’t matter if you’re on a VPN if your device is self-reporting.
Interesting. I'd say that it's one of the places where using a non-trivial, non-structural comparison method would make sense, as opposed to the infamous URL equals method.
Another thing I figure they might be trying is anticipate suicides, so they can stop them before they happen. But it's probably just to sell you a grimace shake or whatever.
There was this site called LyricWiki[0] (lyrics.wikia.com) that was one of the larger wiki sites a few years back. Things went downhill quickly once wikia became fandom. Making new articles and editing was blocked in 2019 and the whole thing was wiped in 2020. It was the largest lyrics site for many smaller languages and as a result it seems lots of lyrics / information has been permanently lost. It also had artist pages which at times contained better information than the actual wikipedia page.

I'd like to hear if by change someone had archived lyricwiki before its shutdown. I've looked in to it a couple of times but AFAIK the only pages that were preserved are the ones found in wayback machine. There is a dump of various wikia pages in archive.org but IIRC lyrics wikia is missing from that.

Slightly off-topic, but it reminds me of the Tesla restriction around governmental buildings in China last year, citing the same set of reasons (data collection, national security, etc.). It seems that the restriction was lifted recently [1].

Commercially available solar panels are below 30% in efficiency. If the energy going into the EV battery instead came from a gas turbine, the efficiency drop would be similar, I expect.

If you want to say that this factor doesn't count: In what sense should the oft-quoted factor in the final step count? (That is, the loss in converting from petrol to rotational motion in an ICE, or from electric potential to rotational motion in an EV.) I think the only real utility that number has is in estimating the total amount of stored energy in a typical car of each type -- this could be used to estimate the amount of damage that would be caused by the vehicle catching on fire.

Other claims strike me as meaningless.

What Ghosh chose to include and not include in this leaves some really weird gaps. He mentions Descartes, and the "cogito", but quotes Seth in attributing to Descartes an "unholy trinity, of language, intelligence and consciousness", and then links that "trinity" to behaviorism.

This would make one think that until "recently", most scientists were in the same boat as Descartes, but I think this is really misleading. Descartes believed that mental stuff and physical stuff were categorically different ("cartesian dualism"), whereas almost all scientists would subscribe to some form of monism / physicalism. But the reason for the cogito, which has persisted until at least "recently" is that subjective phenomena are intrinsically not accessible for objective observation. At best, we can capture the "correlates" of consciousness, whether those be behaviors, fMRI BOLD signals, EEG readings, etc, none of which directly shows that there's an inner subjective experience. There's still maybe the possibility of a philosophical zombie, who has the right objectively available signals but doesn't have any internal experience.

But scientists have all the while been working under the operational assumption that animals have something like our experiences. When we study aggression or stress or motivation or whatever else in animal models, and draw parallels between the brains of mice or monkeys and humans, we're assuming that their emotional states feel at least somewhat like ours do. A classic protocol for rodents, relevant in testing anti-depressants (where the whole point is to change some aspect of our subjective experience) is the "forced swim", where you drop a mouse in water in a vessel with smooth vertical sides, and time how long it takes for them to stop struggling. This is taken to be a measure of "despair". If scientists decades ago didn't believe animals experienced anything, they wouldn't do this research.

Descartes' "I think therefore I am" was the minimal statement he could make with absolute certainty -- but we all operate with at least a smidge less solipsism if we assume that other humans are conscious. And it's of course only a small extension to guess that other primates, who have rich social relations and brains similar to ours have a lot of overlapping experiences. And that other mammals, like rodents, who have a bunch of stuff in their brains like ours, have overlapping experiences. And then suddenly you're open to this landscape of different kinds of creates with different kinds of mental experiences.

> If you drive 80 mph on a flat freeway

In Chicago (Pareto optimal for flattest/biggest metro area in the USA), we have two “going speeds” on the highway: 5 mph and 85+ mph. I drive fast (not going to go on the record here, but use your imagination - I mainly buy German cars that excel on the Autobahn) and I’m routinely only in the top quartile if I’m not in an actual hurry.

(I know EVs are much better in stop-and-go traffic than ICE but I can’t imagine 5mph with five-to-ten second bursts of 30 mph is great for the range, either.)

Hosting where?
Kinda makes me think that implementation is probably not very performant or optimized for the obvious case. A big pet peeve of mine is when languages do weird and very unintuitive things with equality. Like in Javascript and PHP you end up needing these crazy charts to determine if something == something else. Personally I think Clojure gets this really well and has some of the fewest surprises.

One thing that classic Google did right was embed researchers into product groups. It's true there were always some teams that were pure research but for the most part researchers were working within a product group.

Then some acquisitions and internal musical chairs and it became less like that. Now I'm not all doom and gloom like this article (although with DeepMind why not leave well enough alone? They do excellent research). But, it does seem suboptimal to pivot all the way to AI Product Factory... were there no other existing product factories they could have turned instead?
There’s no shortage of ways I could be wrong.

There is obviously not something conspiratorial here since crossing the conspiracy would have such value for an individual company.

I think though there is a network of decision makers that when you take into account this high dimension of decision variables, there is an emergent alignment of self interest towards the office.

I work for a very small company and of course no one comes into the office. We are small enough and lack enough of those variables that we don't have to perform this office theater like bigger firms. The bigger firms don't really have a choice when you sum all the inputs.
I think if you use ListView.builder() in Flutter instead of a Column you will see much better results - it ensures that Flutter does not have to layout 15k buttons all the time, just those that are visible.

Of course, it's unfair to allow Flutter to have optimizations but not the raw HTML, but disallowing well-known, real-world optimizations is also an unfair test IMO.

0% credit card offers usually include an establishment fee and will charge interest, fees or both for late payments. Some are also merely introductory offers to a permanent credit card.

Apple Pay Later did not include fees or interest for the establishment of the loan or for late payments. This made the offer unique in this space.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/108419

However the compromise for such terms was a minimum purchase threshold of $50 and a maximum purchase limit of $1000 per sale, the requirement of a linked debit account (i.e. not a credit card), and Apple's ability to deny further Apple Pay Later purchases. Whereby the app simply didn't present the option.
Out of curiosity, why did that game require BigDecimals?
I think it gets better over time. It is like with cars having no knobs or no physical buttons anymore. We have to figure it out. We have big screens in cars now, why is the menu not even integrated, when you get close to your McDrive? Why not allowing each shop a virtual space in your car, when you drive nearby?

And by the way, we all wanted employees to have a better pay. It is just pure survival mode now by mcd. Since paying humans is expensive now, one has to find ways to make them expendable even more, so that the company remains profitable for the franchise people and keeping the product price low.

(And after all, was McD not a real estate company?)
I do think that in a kind of way intelligence and “interiority” are related. I might have the same “amount” of consciousness as a worm but my ability to investigate my experience is (I think) undoubtedly greater.

Because frankly free speech absolutists got hijacked by people who have no intention of creating free speech (such as Musk). And frankly, many of the arguments are not meaningful to normal people or to those opposing it. You have to talk to your audience. And in this case it is recognizing that most of laws controlling speech has not been aimed at those universally hated like Nazis, but rather those who have little power, like minorities. People think there is a free lunch here, but it just doesn't exist.

So the free speech absolutist groups got infiltrated by those that wanted to dog whistle and (almost) never tailored arguments to those who were strongly opposed; and worse, those who need free speech the most.

The same often goes for encryption. And we have to deal with adversaries that are willing to straight up lie and promise things that sound nice and sound accurate (things that follow when using basic logic but don't if nuance is incorporated). There are no universal optimas, things with no downsides/costs. But most importantly we have to tailor arguments to audiences, not expect them to be just taken and understood like we do. The priors are different and their objective functions may be different as well. So often people will argue what they think is most important to fall of deaf ears because people don't consider that thing important (at least in context).
Apple devices go on sale on other platforms (I only look at Amazon, but it must be the same for any other retailer), that's how they differentiate.

As device registration and customer support still goes through Apple, it makes absolutely no difference wherever you buy it, and anyone looking for a lower price will wait for Prime day or any other bigger sales in the year.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Shell companies filing incorporation papers with fake addresses are a thing. If you think that the bizAddy listed on some website is the end all of verifying a company as legit, then you're still susceptible to being scammed.

There are plenty of services offered to companies that provide a physical address that is nothing more than a wall of mail boxes and a person on staff to sign/accept packages while providing a physical address that gives the appearance of legitimacy.

What's with the title on this post?
Customers as a voluminous body of users can't be underestimated as a solid block of shade for the whistleblowers and journalists
To be honest, I would rather use AI, because it would be more fun and cooler to work with. However, I have a track record of making things no one wants, so I really wanted to focus on what I thought would be more popular. Given I keep hearing that AI has "ruined" Google and other platforms, I figured it would be a good decision to not only cut it out from this but to emphasize it as a "marketing" strategy.

I am absolutely not opposed to it, and if I can convince myself that integrating AI would be moreso "what people want" then I would integrate it (and have more fun).

No, the key is also on a piece of paper somewhere safe. On a piece of metal if you care so much, see crypto wallet keys.

This helps against everything except a valid search warrant from your government. If you don't do outright illegal stuff, and don't live under an authoritarian regime, it should be fine. (If you do both, you have bigger problems.)
I created a tool to turn your ideas into TikTok stories in just minutes
Hey guys! After discovering NoCode six months ago, I absolutely fell in love. I realized the power of these tools and how you can create amazing products without needing to code.

I created my first SaaS using Bubble + Framer and N8N. I took advantage of each tool's strengths—Framer for the landing page, Bubble for the frontend and some backend elements, and N8N for the main feature's backend. We also use Flusk to monitor the Bubble app, which is kind of like Sentry for Bubble apps. Don't hesitate if you have any feedback; I really want to improve and learn from everyone's mistakes.

I've developed an app to generate vertical format videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels by transforming a simple idea into a dynamic and captivating video.

You can try the app for free; any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
> The nerve of me, to expand on my views as a discussion develops.

Nothing wrong with expanding your views. But you've neither defended nor retracted your original argument. I'm trying to stick to that.

> Of course you have lots of great points to make, but you can't share them with the likes of me.

I don't have anything to say about your new argument (which may be great and compelling), I haven't thought through it at all, I'm trying to avoid getting sidetracked.

There were performance issues too, and it was pretty bad on Android phones, at least when I used it in 2012.

I cannot agree with this. Maturity has a very clear meaning: it is when a human (or animal) has developed enough to be able to sexually reproduce. That people use the word wrongly in everyday conversation is something else.

As for what you write about mammals, I completely agree. Just looking at them and interacting with them in real life and it's clear that they're our brothers.

EU was established to provide mutual economic and military security in Europe on a federal model following WW2, and it's done very well in that aim. Of course it's not perfect, but shallow takes like the one above provide nothing of value.
True, but it won't make a difference.
The article claims that AI is a “dual use” general purpose computing technology, and that it can be used for good and evil. To my knowledge, most technology can be used for good and evil depending on who is using it, so the article begs the question of how much of each we can reliably expect.
It's not really about what you would find convenient. It's about what Wikimedia wants to spend its limited resources on. It has decided it wants to spend its resources on something it believes to be a reasonable subset of general knowledge and information. Where to draw that line is highly subjective, but they have to try to find a good balance.
Serious Chrome and iPhone bug chains can be worth this much on the market, but the amount of engineering effort that goes into supporting that kind of pricing (across all the buyers, aggregated) is extreme. The subthread that unfolds from this comment is about fuzzing, but finding a vulnerability is a small part of actually selling it on the market.

Vendor bounties for these kinds of vulnerabilities are going to tend to be sharply lower than this crypto bounty, which was for a directly monetizable vulnerability. But there's a lot going into that vendor bounty price point.
Why? Attach seasoned product teams from Google to the research org and have experienced PMs paired with experienced EMs launch products.

Trying to transition a research org into a product org is going to be needlessly painful, especially since the research org needs to be firing on all cylinders in this hyper-competitive space.

You would think wouldnt you.

But some of these subscriptions, including the one I think this thread is about, will obligate you for a period of time. This happened to me, signed up to a trial of Adobe to test a graphic designers pc, once it ticked over to paid, I was told that I had a 12 month sub, just billed monthly. (I screeched and pulled my hair out and went all karen and they ended it, but they wouldnt do it twice)

The "Apps on Tap" enthusiasts got absolutely mogged by Adobes commercial reality.
I had no intention of making a search engine, I really just envisioned a place to combine threads from different platforms and figured out along the way that it looked exactly like search.

This seems to be an overcrowded market so I would be afraid to just "make a search engine". It seems difficult to me at the moment how exactly I can make ThreadQuilt a unique value proposition if I take that route.

If AI is the differentiator, then I would absolutely want to integrate it.
