I'm a neuroscientist who used to work with animals, and while I didn't focus on consciousness, I don't think it's a reasonable scientific perspective to start from the assumption that animals don't and require proof that they do. Clearly there's a spectrum of intelligence across species, but plenty of animals appear to have theory of mind, complex emotions, object permanence, tool use, long term memory, spatial navigation, some idea of the self, etc. Humans are better at language, and math, and destroying the planet, but that doesn't explain why our feeling of consciousness wouldn't be substantially similar to a great ape or an Australian shepherd.

I'm currently on the free trial of Capture One Pro. It's a $300 license for the current version, which gets updates for a year. It's super pricey but it's the only program I've found that plays well on Mac, has the features I want and is intuitive to use.

Adobe's hidden cancellation fee is unlawful, FTC suit says

I feel like I've improved at detecting fake smiles though, and am more comfortable seeing resting bitch face or real grumpy face than a fake smile that might be hiding hostility.
Does it matter? It’s a helpful response for those facing the same issue as you, but aren’t aware of possible solutions.
Thanks for your reply. Good luck to you guy.
Yeah being first doesn’t mean you win automatically. There’s a story about the Ramones playing a show at a famous club in NYC and everyone in the crowd went home and started bands that became way more successful and famous than who they were trying to be like. …I think blondie was one of the bands that came out of that crowd.
It looked fine on screen, but only printed the first 4-5 pages properly, then lots of stuff was missing on subsequent pages. After that I couldn't print at all and ended up having to remove/reinstall the printer in OS preferences. This was just a few months ago, OS up to date, unremarkable Canon printer.

I have had a Gmail account from the days when it was invitation only. The inbox contains spam and my test emails and nothing else!

I've run tiny smtp systems for 25 years or so. It can be done. I am based in the UK but at least one of my domains is a .net jobbie, so nominally American. That one still works fine and it is my (ltd) company domain, so all good. The MX records etc have moved around a bit but always very carefully.

It all starts around the IP address you are using. Is it "tainted"? is it in a tainted block? If it is then you need to either go elsewhere or clean it up and that takes a bit of time. By clean it up I mean apply for removal from the usual suspect's blocklists - Spamcop (lol), Spamhaus and all the rest that you can find.

Now setup PTR records. That has to be done by your ISP. If they can't do it for you, then find a new ISP. If you can't get PTR records to match A records then you may have to give up. One of the first checks an anti spam system will do is reverse look up an incoming IP address and compare it. Also that should match the HELO/EHLO announced by the SMTP MTA:

SMTP connection from IP address 12.13.14.15
HELO (my name is) smtp.example.co.uk

Receiver will check: smtp.example.co.uk == 12.13.14.15 AND 15.14.13.12.in-addr.arpa == smtp.example.co.uk.

Everyone gets their knickers in a twist about SPF, DKIM and DMARC but if you do not get the prior basics of IP -> A -> HELO -> PTR sorted out first then you will fail sooner or later. I also recommend that you ensure your MX records (receiving) match up too with your sending records. It means you can use mx is SPF, for example.

If you have multiple internet connections and IPs then be absolutely certain that your inbound and outbound IPs for SMTP match up.

Sorted all that? Cool, now proceed to SPF.

Most people fail at the PTR stage. If your ISP will not do PTR for you then you are probably screwed for self hosted SMTP. If you cannot change ISP to one that will, then you are really screwed. Sorry. In that case you will have to engage a service that will route SMTP on your behalf. It won't cost much but you won't own it and you will have to pay someone to do it. Soz.

It can be a flawed analysis without being propaganda and ignoring societal decline (as the definition of decline and progress itself is debatable).

I do think the fact that humans build up careers and aren't just going to roll over and stop working or switch careers when it would be prudent for society is a good thing to note. Just as career activists move from one cause to another, so too do programmers
Is there a study which has shown a decrease in Dunning-Kruger effect with varying competence over time? If the effect is real, then you’d see more accurate self-assessments with increasing competence.

I also think these self-assessment vs actual performance studies don’t control for post-assessment cognitive stress. Stress almost always impairs judgment, and I wonder if asking for a self-assessment on the day of the exam and sometime after the exam would show a difference. If stress is a factor for self-assessment, then both high and low performers will score themselves more accurately given more time after a test.

Looking at the study design of this paper, I am not sure how the authors themselves would assess its strength for the kind of broad claim they’re making…And we’ve already seen many studies on this type of claim, so I am confused why the authors didn’t ask the “next step” type of question as I mentioned above.
It does seem like there's a qualitative difference between that framing and its parent comment: there are always problems facing society, but once activists have organized around a specific category of problem, they seem to react to success by intensifying within that category rather than diversifying their efforts to address whatever's next-most-pressing on the overall list of issues.
I mean, sure. But on the other hand:

- Paint is not only free but built-in

- Paint.net is free and covers most of what I'd need to do

- GIMP is free. Cumbersome, but if I need to do any batch operations that's when I bring out a full suite.

If I only need to do a quick edit for some hobby thing, I'm not frought for options.

>but it's just annoying to not be able to use the same software as my artists

So you are a professional? If you have artists at your beck and call and it's not a forboding deadline, I don't know why you wouldn't ask the artist to make the edit.

There's definitely a debate to be had about proprietary file formats (I work in games, so I completely understand that with its 3d equivalent that is the FBX format... thankfully there are very slow moves to cast that away), but I'm not sure I have a good solution. I don't necessarily think a company should be forced to open source/spec its own tooling.
Your theory doesn't explain this part, though (emphasis mine):

> It is no longer enough for conservative Christians to tolerate same-sex marriage—now they must be legally required to bake cakes and design web pages for the weddings. It is no longer enough to protect gay students from harassment—now these students must have access in elementary school libraries to how-to manuals for anal sex. Public schools must encourage prepubescent students to explore the many possible gender identities without their parents’ knowledge. Biological males self-identifying as females must be allowed to compete against females in sports. These new causes have been wildly unpopular, arousing opposition from homosexuals as well as heterosexuals, and have led to a decline in public support for the gay rights movement. But however much the backlash has hurt the original cause, the controversies keep activists in business.

I'm not sure how you don't call that an eso lang.
I agree, but it does seem a bit strange that you are allowed to "custom-fit" an AI program to solve a specific benchmark. Shouldn't there be some sort of rule that for something to be AGI it should work as "off-the-shelf" as possible?

Nice write-up! At my personal level, I feel nothing about Iterators or even Generic. I can live with or without it, and kind of dont mind it to be used by library authors.

I didnt had a single line of code broken by golang version up updates in 7+ years, scanning through golang source code is always a pleasure. No hidden magic. I dont read documention either - just surfing inside of source code by clicking with CMD key.

My main KPI for Golang is the ammount of clicks required to understand internals ... very few compare to other languages.

If its stamped by guys like Russ Cox (rsc), I can sleep well too.
That's the nature of the craft. If you go down the road of eradicating all the things that are a little bit sloppy and inelegant, you eventually end up with something like Haskell (with a lot of extensions) and lose most of other developers along the way.
Well, that didn't take long, did it? 50% on ARC public test set [1] less than a week after the announcement of the prize. Though I have to say, the solution, at least superficially, does look like what Chollet alluded to: hybrid of LLM with "discreet program search/synthesis". Again, I'm not familiar with that field, so perhaps it's not at all what he had in mind, but it's intriguing. What do you think? Do you understand Chollet's idea enough to explain whether this solution is on the right track?

if scale is all you need then why don't we have AGI now?

Well, it's my turn to use the "dumb question" card :) We don't have enough scale, obviously! I don't know if scale is all we need for AGI to emerge, but clearly we haven't reached the end of benefits from scaling up. Until we do, it seems like the easiest and the most promising approach. Considering the size of Youtube as a training corpus, we are pretty far from that end. Are there reasons to think otherwise?

LLM architecture has been rapidly changing

Aside from a mixture of experts architecture, which has its pros and cons vs a single large monolithic model, I'm not sure what has fundamentally changed in the architecture of the original transformer proposed in 2017. Minor tweaks here and there, sure, but it's pretty much the same model, no?

if scale was all you needed then shouldn't Google be leading the way?

Oh, a lot of people have been asking how could Google drop the ball so bad, for so long. There are reasons, both well known, and hidden from outsiders, but compute is not all you need to scale, you also need vision, clear direction, and effective coordination of efforts from multiple teams. Something that OpenAI has (or at least had), and which is rare at large corporations.

Re: academics - good ideas get noticed. Today, if someone discovers something good they don't even need to publish. Post a github link on r/MachineLearning, together with benchmark results, and let people test it.

I'm worried. More worried about displacement

This is very interesting - I haven't even thought about it. It's very possible that in the beginning after the mass layoffs, GPT-5 will screw some things up, in subtle ways, and only GPT-6, some time later, will be able to fix them. People need to be ready for that. The period between GPT-5 and GPT-6 will be rough in more ways than I imagined.

You can build your own drone quite cheaply using open source technologies, so I don't believe that industrial competition is as impossible as you say; especially given the existence of US subsidies/tax breaks for anything remotely defense related.

And by the way, have you heard of good manners? They make discussions much more productive than smug comebacks.
I've heard that Amazon/Google/Microsoft will let you opt out if you have _nomap tattooed on your face.

In futuristic scenarios people had weird facial cosmetics (think blacked out around eyes in Blade Runner) or implants (Cyberpunk 2077). Now we have know the use case for that.

People need to start makeup trends/temporary tattoos/jewelry that can confused AI and start making them socially acceptable.

I guess I don’t see the issue. The SPAC materials are largely pointless and immaterial until an acquisition is made. Purely a guess but I would assume they put these materials together when perhaps the board position was in play. Maybe he was fabricating it but it’s mostly a shrug moment for the SEC.
Hey Dang, I appreciate the transparency and general policy in such situations. As well as undowning the story

Do you think there will ever be in band signaling of when (or perhaps even why) a post was artificially depressed by moderation? Particularly aimed at cases where people are already using tools like https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=40710417 on posts like this where more people have already seen the story drop off and confirmation that it was via moderation than will probably ever see this comment in its later revival explaining how or why. Something like a "downed" with hover alt text next to the flag tag even. Apart from being immediately clearer to everyone without waiting for a comment/email that helps solidify against "and then 5 hours later they back tracked it slightly but not all the way with some other excuse why after being called out" type thinking/arguments. I mean you'll never get rid of that completely but it's a lot more powerful that the message existed there at T=30 minutes than T=5 hours.

Would typically email but this seemed like something good for an open message :).

It seems like you (and the author of this pretty blatant propaganda) are assuming the very strange and unfounded premise that most activists believe that there is exactly one problem with the world worth solving.

Of course activists move onto the next problem once the problem they’ve been focusing on is solved. Similarly, I brush my teeth once I get out of the shower. I haven’t “moved the goalposts”; I’m just attending to the next priority.

Somebody was asking for an example of the sort of plugin someone might want to install, I provided an example. There was no argument being had, no claims that OSX is objectively wrong for doing things that way, just a pile-on of people not reading the context.

Apple just gave the company under his leadership a huge vote of confidence.
Apple’s financing option for their hardware, at least the one in the US based on the Apple Card, does pay the 3% cashback.

You even get the full cashback amount after making just the down payment, which I found quite nice.

I’m not even sure if you can use Apple Pay Later for most Apple hardware, since the maximum loan amount seems to be $1000.
See, iterators [edit: and “yield” in general] feel Haskelly to me.

Then again I can only understand key Haskell concepts when they’re explained using any of several other languages (then they’re typically very easy to understand) so maybe I’m not the best judge of what is or is not Haskell-like.
While I get the sentiment, things have a way of working out. Maybe he is actually the best person to do it...no one knows who the best person for an undefined situation will be.
“ It’s the seed crystal of all workable open collaboration, and people living without it don’t even have the language to recognize how bad they’ve got it. “

It’s fairly cheap to build one of these setups. It requires a round glass flask of about 100 mL, a couple of cylindrical piezo’s that you epoxy to the side of the flask, a circuit that outputs an impedance matched signal to the piezos, and you will need to source an amplifier to drive the circuit. Great fun and doable by a hobbyist.
Changing from light to electricity (and vice versa) is relatively slow, expensive, and cumbersome.

Additionally, we don’t have a decent way of transferring significant power over fiber optics.

So since everything has to have copper power fed to it anyway, unless there is some compelling reason (like distance) to make optical/fibers disadvantages worth it, copper only is usually simpler and better.

At least for now.

I strongly disagree. Problems always exist, and new ones pop up app the time. And organizing people to advocate for fixing the problems they face is a job that's worth doing in any society.

>can you do scripting/batch processing with GIMP

You sure can. I'm not even an artist and that's the one part of GIMP I can speak for. It has its own Python library, so almost anything you can do in editor you can do programmatically, but I made a few scripts for batch processing an entire album of images.

(documentation is about as awkard as the GUI, though. You will eventually find what you need after putting in 3-5x more effort than what should have been necessary, but it's somewhere in the docs)

Go with fasttemplate.

Most people prefer templ but I don't like logic in templates, I just want to parse values. I keep different states in different template files.

Each template file is a portion of a full page which makes it easy to create an endpoint that pulls the partial with the latest values. HTMX can then hit that endpoint to load or refresh values.

Endpoints are usually

domain/page/partial

so if I'm on a configuration page at

example.com/config

then the endpoint for the privacy settings partial would be

example.com/config/privacy

Going directly there in a browser would get a 404 because I check for the HX-Request header.

Endpoint handlers return a processed template with the current state. I use those functions to both compose the full page on the backend, and to build the output for the partial endpoint.

I don't automatically expose all partials. I add endpoints as I need them. This is probably more idiomatically Go than anything to do with htmx.

Yes, they are, at least according to the people who keep suing Masterpiece Cakeshop.

Jack Phillips was not accused of refusing to bake a cake for clients because of their sexual orientation (immutable charateristic of the client). He was accused of refusing to bake a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding event. Phillips was perfectly willing to bake cakes for clients of any sexual orientation, he just didn't want to send a message in support of a specific event. According to the activists who have made it their mission to ruin his life, this is illegal.
