Years ago, a computer magazine (I think in the UK) did an amusing look into the flip lids of the current CD consoles. Playstation, Saturn, Jaguar (I think) and the Neo Geo.

They placed a penny on the closed lid, and pressed the button to open it.

I forget which moved the penny furthest, but the Neo Geo came last.

ML is (smooth) surface fitting. That's mostly it.
But that is not undermining it in any way. Approximation theory and statistical learning have long history, full of beautiful results.

The kitchen sinks that we can throw at ML are incredibly powerful these days. So, we can quickly iterate through different neural net architecture configurations, check accuracy on a few standard datasets and report whatever configuration that does better on Archiv. Some might call it 'p-hacking'.
Don't worry, it's a free market, so in the near future you can just choose from the ... zero ... companies that won't train their AI on your data. No need for legislation

> Because getting seven friends together in the same room for the all-day affair that was a complete game of Diplomacy was almost as hard in the 1960s as it is today, inventive gamers developed systems for playing it via post; the first example of this breed would seem to date from 1963. And once players had started modifying the rules of Diplomacy to make it work under this new paradigm, it was a relatively short leap to begin making entirely new play-by-post games with new themes which shared some commonalities of approach with Calhamer’s magnum opus.

The saying about routing around damage is an excellent countercultural rallying cry. What’s weird is that this same “censorship ain’t cool” thing we call The Internet also requires you to psuedonymously identify yourself in plain text on every single packet you send.

iPods were single-purpose while iPhones are general computers. While music file sizes have been fairly consistent for a while, you can keep adding more apps and photos. The former become larger as new features are added (and as companies stop caring about optimisations) while the latter become larger with better cameras and keep growing in number as the person lives.

There was a book “C Interfaces and Implementations” by David R. Hanson and he put it so: there are user errors (input/data errors), program bugs (things we 'assert') and everything else are exceptions. So a non-existent file is a user error, uninitialized memory is a program bug, and an arithmetic overflow is an exception. Not sure if this is useful.

I myself think errors and exceptions are misleading terms. There is an instruction; it does this and that and can produce the following results. We call some of there results errors because usually we imply a goal. But instructions do not really have goals. We search for a key in a dictionary and either find it or not. Either result can be an error or not an error depending on whether we expect the key to be there or want to make sure it does not exist. Yet the searching instruction is same. There is no reason to prefer one result or another. It is more important to make all the necessary distinctions.

> If you’re using Python, you’re stuck with the endless debates. For instance, you’ll never know why there’s a dict.get() to avoid KeyError but no list.get() to avoid IndexError.

Probably for the same reason that, in Swift, dictionary lookup returns an Optional but Array traps on out-of-bounds: dictionary keys tend to come from outside the dictionary, but array indices tend to be derived from the array bounds. This means a dictionary lookup failure tends to be expected, and an out-of-bounds array index tends to be a logic error. More details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75780575/77567

> And for those opposed to generative AI on principled or functional grounds, putting similar energy into millions of Nvidia AI servers probably seems like just as big of an energy waste.

while there is value and money-grifting involved in both crypto and genAI, there is a major differentiating factor between the wastage argument - artificially-adjusted proof of work, which is/was used for major cryptocurrencies.

people spend time and energy (figuratively and literally) on the internet on many ways one could define as wastefully (take scrolling down the "for you" feed for example). but for majority of cases, the "efficiencies" or their lack of are not done intentionally and are often improved on (e.g. new codecs like AV1 needing less bandwidth).

but to make crypto tokens work, the original decision of using PoW has led to a massive surge of energy consumption to achieve the same results. while there might be some work on countering its negatives (e.g. with eth network), it is still a major driving force, despite an arms race to make more efficient hardware.

while a lot of current AI has major inefficiencies (will be too long to list down here!), the root cause is often the fast-moving innovations and everyone building on someone's imperfect work.

coming back to the original argument, you should expect more dedicated hardware to do the underlying matrix multiplications to make AI work. for most people who would only care about inference, it is already becoming a reality at consumer level. but expect people to push the new stuff to its limit to stay competitive, whether you find all of this ridiculous or not.

Why would you sign up for a wait-list for a feature, only to deny the creators of that feature the data they can use to make said feature even better?

Do you not want it to continue to get better?
for me the main factor that makes someone likeable is how nice they are to or how much they like me and others. so i see someone display a dislike to others or to me, then i won't like them either.

After using Copilot that is pretty bad at guessing what I exactly want to do, but still occasionally right on the money and often pretty close: AI is not really AI and it won't kill us all, but the realization is that a lot of work is just repetitive and really not that clever at all. If I think about all the work I did in my life it follows the same pattern: a new way of doing things comes along, then you start figuring out how to do it and how to use it, and once you're there you rinse and repeat. The real value in the work will be increasingly in why is it useful for people using it, although it probably was like this always, the geeks just didn't pay attention to it.

This. I wish more users that prefer quite primitive text editors would broaden their horizons and learn at least one proper IDE. It's been honestly quite funny reading comments for the past few years about how amazing e.g. jump to definition is (compared to grepping and navigating manually) like it's some great new thing when we've had it in every IDE for decades (and much, much more). I remember using autocompletion/jump to definition/various refactorings in Borland IDEs back in 2004, and they were surely available long before then.

The level of code refactoring tools available in IDEA dwarf anything vscode has been able to come up with, and I don't see that changing. And it's not just for Java (although it gets the best tooling), they're the best for every language that has any popularity at all. Including TypeScript, where IDEA has a significantly better performing lsp features than vscode.

For example, it automatically finds copypasted code (including cases where variable names and code structure might differ) and can automatically extract a single implementation and generalize it for you with a single key press. If you have multiple classes with similar interfaces, it can extract the common bits into an interface and update the classes to become its implementations. It can shuffle types and methods around for you, automatically updating references (which you've mentioned). Autocompletion for absolutely everything, including difficult cases like e.g. SQL inside a Rust snippet inside Markdown. And much more.
Just discard images and have the LLM describe them on the other side.

Russia withdrawing to 2013 borders is a pretty absurd possible diplomatic solution. If Russia withdrew to the stalemate of 2020 with no discussion would the Ukraine actually risk reopening the entire hot war again or try to find a manageable level of tit-for-tat skirmishes?

Certainly Russia would prefer to try to reachieve that stalemate than enter a discussion that arrives at 2013 borders..

Perhaps in a situation where it was actually diplomatically solved and Russia actually wanted to accept 2013 borders there's something else on the line that is far more important than anything in the conflict.

But realistically, most ends to the hot conflict probably will end in suspicion and a continued stockpiling of arms by both sides.

I don't think anything will be resolvable until Putin is politically incapacitated and a replacement possibly doesn't see the conflict as worthwhile for their own political needs.
