> We can maybe both agree that doing something is better than doing nothing?

Yes, that's the whole point. Doing something clearly better than doing nothing.

Railing against short-term rentals does absolutely nothing to fix the problem.

That does not grant anyone the right of fabricating scapegoats that do nothing to solve the actual problem. This is exactly what's happening regarding short-term rentals.

Blaming short-term rentals for the lack of affordable housing is one of the stupidest and miopoc scapegoats that can ever be put together. Airbnb is not the reason why your neighbor rents the apartment. Airbnb is not attracting new tourists. Worst-case scenario, Airbnb eats away at the profit margins of industrial-grade hotels.

The lack of affordable housing is caused by the lack of real estate investment, urban renewal programs, and even social housing. If most want to buy an apartment but they can't afford one, that's a telltale sign of short supply. You only fix this problem by significantly increasing supply.

It's also a politically motivated scapegoat. Barcelona's previous mayor built her whole platform on that scapegoat. She could have implemented urban renewal programs to actually increase the number of homes available in the market, she could have implemented public transportation programs to bring mass transit to low-density areas to attract private investment, she could have created a municipal tax on short-term rental to finance social housing programs or even subsidized low-income rental programs, etc.

But no. She did absolutely nothing even though the railed frequently against short-term rentals. Because that's the point: fabricate a convenient scapegoat to direct and focus the anger of the electorate. But that same electorate is only mobilized as long as the housing problem prevails, and thus they do absolutely nothing to fix it.

> How is Hotel Arts or Hotel W examples of replacing whole residential buildings or city blocks?

They aren't. They are however massive real estate investment in prime locations in Barcelona which could just as easily be residential buildings that easily provided hundreds of homes.
It does seem like most of the examples people give for a game as art are cinematic, interactive stories. Don't know anyone that calls Minecraft art. I could see a case for something like Super Mario 64 as art as it's an immersive experience though, not because of the story.

The games that are just about bleeding whales dry with microtransactions or lootboxes are just pathetic though, games really have deteriorated as "art" in the last 10 years.
2024 is starting to feel a lot like 1968. I hope the Democratic convention in Chicago doesn't demonstrate history rhyming.

Sometimes violence is necessary, but it should be the last resort. As Larry Correia (an SF/fantasy author and blogger) wrote six years ago (https://monsterhunternation.com/2018/11/19/the-2nd-amendment...):
"A friend of mine who is a political activist said something interesting the other day, and that was for most people on the left political violence is a knob, and they can turn the heat up and down, with things like protests, and riots, all the way up to destruction of property, and sometimes murder… But for the vast majority of folks on the right, it’s an off and on switch."

I'd argue that the idea of violence being a knob isn't limited to the left, but strongly agree that it is in reality an off-on switch that one should think very hard about before flipping.

As far as I can see, your issue with Chomsky has nothing to do with the performance of modern LLMs. You just reject all the data that generative linguists take to be crucially informative as to the grammatical structure of natural languages. You would hold the same view if LLMs had never been invented. So it is really a common case of AI and cognitive science talking entirely at cross purposes.

> English grammar is not fixed per se; it evolves with region (have you ever been to Singapore?) and time.

Sure, but this is not the case for the examples I gave. There aren’t dialects of English where (b) has the interpretation that GPT-4o thinks it can have. It’s no use trying to muddy the empirical waters in the case of completely clear judgments about what English sentences can and can’t mean.

LLMs are language models, and I think it's best not to try to extrapolate them to general intelligence.
They are universal language translators, and a lossy database of a lot of text.
They might be a component of some bigger AI system in the future, but themselves they are not as intelligent as their marketing implies.

Quick test: Try to imagine the following and then answer the questions beneath.

Imagine a table with a ball on it. A person is approaching the table, pushes the ball gently, and the balls starts to roll.

Questions:

(1) What color has the ball?

(2) Is the person male or female?

(3) What material is the table made of?

(4) When you answered questions (1)-(3), did you know the answer beforehand, or did you think about when you were reading the questions?

Depending on your answer to question (4) you can assume if you have it or not.
I don't think leftist anger over Israel (or whatever causes protests in a few months) comes close to leftist anger over the war in Vietnam, where a random selection of 18+ year olds were selected and sent halfway around the world to die. Democrats will hold their noses over the cavalcade of issues they have on their side and rally around Biden cause they are so terrified of Trump winning.
Exactly. At 13 or 14 I got a used 520STfm + mono monitor with my own hard-earned cash from returning bottles to the bottle recycling repo and other chores. Amiga 1000 + monitor was basically double. There's no way I could afford it. For me the choice was Atari ST or Commodore C128 (which I was set to buy until I learned about the ST)

Amiga 500 evened things out a little bit, but it was still a step up.

Of course it's possible. But you are not beholden to using a database server to use SQL. The app servers can speak SQL too. And, in some cases, should. It is sometimes the right tool for the job.

But if GraphQL is a good fit for your situation, SQL is not. Aside from both enabling ad-hoc execution, there is little overlap between them. They are designed to solve different problems.

Deformation professionelle probably but what this makes me think of is how easy it is for a vehicle to enter Accidental Full Self Driving mode, without having any specialised equipment. For cars, just put a brick on the gas pedal and point the car in the right direction, and in some situations the car will "drive itself" for a while; even a long while. For planes or boats it's probably easier to find circumstances where this can go on until they run out of fuel.

Once, in another life time, I owned an ancient Horex Regina II 400 cc., a 1953 model and it came with Full Self Driving. To activate it, I simply had to take my hands off the wheel and rest them on the tank. It would keep going straight on its own, without intervention. If the road turned, all I had to do was turn my hips a bit and it would follow along.

Antiquity ended at the dawn of medieval times. That's like half a millenium earlier than where you want to put it. 1863 is quite some distance into modernity, well into the age of the railroad.

Exactly this. As much derided as the ST's OS is by Amiga fans, in actuality its fundamental architecture had more potential for future improvement than the Amiga's, though that never happened (in the mainstream, there's now FreeMiNT and friends).

Why? Because it implemented syscalls through proper TRAPs, for one. While the actual implementation of the core OS wasn't multitasking or even have re-entrant syscalls, others came along and made it so (MiNT, etc) while retaining syscall compatibility. And the thing can be made to use memory protection, etc. even.

The problem with the whole Amiga package is that it was brilliant for 1985, but extremely dated for the mid-90s and the reliance on the custom chips arch there just really couldn't evolve well.
Follow the trend line. It’s not about the current state of ai. It’s about how fast it’s improving and the trajectory. Ai is now leaps and bounds ahead of a mentally retarded human which was deemed impossible less than a decade ago.

Also you’re biased. I talk in terms of economics and jobs in general. You talk about you feeling “secure” and you having “work”. You’re thinking of your own security. I’m thinking about the population from a dispassionate perspective.

You need to be more logical.
Water jet cutters or EDM cutters could both be used on silicon and there is no need for either to cut straight lines.

When silicon area is expensive and performance can be maximised by reducing average on-die wire length, hexagons sound like they might make sense.

Obviously current layout tools prefer X-Y area splits, so a lot of tooling would have to be redesigned to make use of a probably rather small performance gain.

> problem solved?

The consensus from the folks writing laws appears to be that the problem is not in fact solved in that case. There are laws which apply independent of your speed that require you to give way when more than X number of cars are behind you constrained by your speed (X varies by jurisdiction).

Of course the response to this is usually "but if I am going the speed limit that other law cannot apply." Very much like the laws saying you must keep right unless passing someone. Everyone seems to have their own opinion on which laws they will follow, and which they can ignore.

Clever marketing strategy.

The website makes it frustrating to find details about the technology. It does contain the debunked claim that the “blue light” emitted by less enlightened competing devices disrupts our circadian rhythms. This claim, endlessly repeated by legions of journalists, never withstood a moment of thought, and has recently been shown, empirically, to be false.

It’s too bad that it hasn’t acquired the name of an author to describe this alternative functionality more concisely without being judgy (like Nagle’s algorithm). I looked around, and it seems that there isn’t any one designer/author that you could give credit to.

I couldn't possibly agree with this less. My view is that "it depends." Level salaries in San Francisco and I'll consider not tipping. Until then, I'm comfortable with my choices.
if you can tell where the book is, it's not zero-knowledge anymore...

see my other comments -- the idea is that in each round you should be able to verify the construction (there's a Waldo-sized hole and the correct book and page when the pieces are separated) or the proposed solution (Waldo through the hole) but never the offset of the book and hole (because then you can deduce where Waldo is).

a cheating prover (utilizing your strategy, or just Waldo from a different book or whatever) would try to guess which one you will want but only has probability 1/2 of succeeding. through iteration the verifier can be exponentially increasingly confident that the prover knows where Waldo is.
> Go ahead, try it. Think something but don't say it in your head.

I can think about how much food left I have in my fridge, then if I need more now, then formulating a plan to go to the store etc, all without any words ever being in my head.

There is no "I have a gallon of milk" etc, instead I remember how much milk was left as images or events, and then going to the store etc is also similar events and images. There are no words, and I can't put those things into words I can only do bad translations of them, since my thought of going to the store also includes how I'll be tying my shoelaces and the path I'll take etc, imagining how much I have left includes the exact shape I last saw it in etc, translating that to words would take insane amount of words and still be very lossy.

Unless I write or read or speak I don't hear any words in my mind. Only when directly interfacing with language in some way are the words there. Not when doing math problems or physics problems either etc, not when programming, those arne't languages, only when I write down rationalizations or comments etc do the words pop out.

The weird thing obviously is that next to nobody with a mind's eye is actually seeing the cow.

A tiny tiny fraction of people talk about their mind's eye being part of their visual field, to the point that they can sort of functionally see -- hallucinate -- an imaginary object on a table like AR.

Another small number of people talk about imagining complete objects out of nowhere that they then have to analyse to describe; the imaginary thing has complete shape before its shape is described.

Most children can sort of whimsically play the imaginary-drinking tea game, imagining the shape of the teacups, imagining spilling tea or milk, but the mental images might not have attributes like colour or weight until they are specifically assigned to the visualisation. Like: what colour are the teacups? They don't have colour until you pick one, and then they do. Is it a heavy cup? It's not, but I do have a saucer. The more you add to the visualisation, the less translucent/ghostly/formless/conceptual it is.

The fascinating thing about broad aphantasia is that it appears to be way beyond even that; it's like things only happen conceptually, yet they still happen. Like the sibling comment from andrewflnr perceptively said: as if it's a conceptual blind-sight.

And when you consider our evolutionary pathway, perhaps it actually is the same phenomenon: a part of the brain successfully doing part of the task, without the support of the visualiser.

I agree there are potential risks. So we shouldn't be mucking around with trying to recycle or burn it. Just set up a good system for storing it inertly under ground.

I wouldn't go as far as blaming plastic for any of our specific ailments because there are so many better candidates for primary cause in each case but I agree that the potential for some harm is there.

For example with obesity. Japanese don't suffer from it and they use heaps of single use plastics and eat a lot of marine based food that could accumulate microplastics. They just teach their kids to like broccoli instead of stuffing them with industrial grade corn syrup to shut them up.
Having just returned from Texas, I have to say your problems in that regard are entirely self-inflicted. And frankly, probably by design. You have wide open freeways with ample space in every lane, absolutely inviting people to cruise at high speed. Want to dial it back? Make the lanes narrower. The vast majority of drivers choose their speed based on comfort, not what the sign says. That won't change, so the strategy for how you slow down traffic has to.
The concern is not about organized events. The survey is saying the kindling is dry. And any potential spark will ignite violence like wildfire.

This is very interesting, when I was a kid I didn’t think with words but with “abstract” ideas. When I realized every other kid used language for thinking I tried to do it myself and not only I was able to do it, but it never stopped after that. Now I probably think 90% with language, but I’ve been trying to practice other forms of thought recently.
When I hear someone talk about their “corner” of the internet, I always think about what that means geometrically or topologically.
