The article stresses that the game shouldn't be thought of as a movie, but... having played some high-budget adventure games and some low-budget adventure games, it's clear that the quality of the game is basically just the quality of the plot. Good writing and bad art and software make for a good adventure game. Bad writing and good art and software make for a terrible adventure game.

A country where the highest court in the land can rule that if you are convicted and sentenced to death, but are factually innocent, that the courts have no obligation to reverse your conviction, and that if you want off death row, you should appeal to the governor. And if the governor says no, well, sucks to be you, you're getting executed anyway.

Meh. Often dark, so many stairs, the ones that take advantage of verticality often don't do so to increase unit count, but unit size (and price) instead. Though, I guess what I'm thinking of is essentially horizontal townhouses. Something cool would be 4-6 story buildings with units that have command of at least 3 exterior walls, and a portion of each unit that's over the neighbor, under the neighbor, and a full 2 stories.
If you're privacy-focused, you should run your own recursive resolver. Running your own authoritative server doesn't help much with privacy if clients still go through centralized recursive resolvers to query your domain.
Oracle, some other databases did this back in a day in 00s by wrong with block devices directly.

I am not sure if this is done anymore, because the performance gains were modest compared to the hassle of a custom formatted partition.
Consumer firewalls, the largest names in open source firewalls, and at least one webserver/reverse proxy that I know of.

There also dozens of existing DDNS daemons out there already with far more developer, testing, and user eyeballs on them.

The firewall solution is preferred because the firewall knows when the external interface changes IP addresses, so there's no system or network overhead from having an agent repeatedly testing if the IP has changed, nor any downtime between when the IP changes and when the next check happens.
Can you expand on that? I can’t see how productivity will not replace (at least some) them in the long run and shift the workload on the remaining ones, basically making fewer people handle a larger workload for a bit more pay or same pay? And that has more or less been the case with tech so far, though at a slower pace it seems.

Or are you saying that AI will create a lot of demand for workforce? And how so?
At my job it’s assisting new out-of-the box tools that require configuration. Good example of productivity increase and not replacing work, but instead creating new work.
does anyone know if this is a regression of Urs' promises, or is it just that < of emissions from dirty fuels is dropping, but total emissions is rising much faster?
putting aside the quality of this objection for a moment, a company has a choice whether to hire a consultant or an employee for a role. the consulting rate is well known in the market, the employee rate is not well known. for anyone with training in negotiations, they know using principles to arrive at a price is superior to blind haggling, and it's what serious people do. the consulting fee is the employers option of last resort, as otherwise they wouldn't be looking for employees. as a coordinate for finding what an employer is willing to pay, the consulting fee is an objective waypoint.

It can be humiliating to learn how structured negotiations are and that most talent goes into them completely ignorant of the tools that are being used on the other side of the table, but that awareness is where we all start. The difference in the opinions of people who have read even a single book on negotiations are stark to those who haven't. Highly recommend.
A lot of people are worried about aligning superintelligent, self-improving AI. But I think it will be easier than aligning current AI, for the same reason that it's easier to explain what you want to a human than it is to train a dog.

I posted my specific proposal here: https://olegtrott.substack.com/p/recursion-in-ai-is-scary-bu...

Unlike previous ideas, it's implementable (once we have AGI-level language models) and works around the fact that much data on the Internet is false. I should probably call it Volition Extrapolated by Truthful Language Models.

Yes. Claude 3.5 Sonnet is able to do those things when you ask for them.
Not excluded, but the scanning in a dev drive is asynchronous rather than synchronous.
Bubbles are inevitable. Imagine a single company investing precisely the right amount into a new technology, not a penny more. Now imagine every single company and person doing the same thing, perfectly. It’s impossible.

The stock market has boom and bust cycles even with companies using 100 year old technologies! With an embryonic but all-promising technology like AI: it will pop then reinflate many times over. And this is fine.

we didn't have any such issues, but i have a lot of the old style USB cables with the rounded square ends. They are used a lot in rugged devices and "equipment" or instrumentation, like ham radios, packet modems, ADC/DAC devices, scanners, printers. So i just collect them.

I have noticed in the past 4 years or so that i am throwing away "broken" USB cables at about 10x the rate of the years prior, so maybe the overall quality of cables has gone down? Even extension cables - those are "breaking" at a very high rate - and i mostly use those for wired controllers!
This article says that we can't trust the estimates of p(doom), therefore we should take no action. But it assumes that "no action" means spending many billions of dollars to develop advanced AI.

But why is that our default? I could just as well say we can't trust the estimates of p(survival), therefore we should fall back on a default action of not developing advanced AI.
You are moving the goal post away from "basic CRUD-development" (direct quote).

Personally I wouldn't care too much about storing the prompt/chat, since I only used it to determine whether I should take the time to watch the video (so it's only necessary for a minute or two max).

If it helps you I can share some of the real life use cases. Here are three I noted:

- I see this home page: https://imgur.com/mZkczrg and the title about russia losing nuclear capability looked like a massive development, but was BS.

- This video's title seemed highly relevant but it way over the top (I gave ChatGPT the transcript and asked it to give me the main reasons for not using UUIDs - they were extremely minor to say the least): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-K2C3sf1_Q

- ChatGPT summarised this video and I deemed it not worth watching (despite a title that seems very relevant): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jIwILYjXrU

As the other commenter says, you can get pretty granular with the permissions. If you want to go even further, you can build a Cloudflare Worker that performs exactly the request that you want to do, and nothing else. Then you can configure your router to hit that instead of the API directly.
This is great but if you were to state this case when asked to search your phone, they can still deny entry or detain you regardless.
I haven’t really seen Oracle “getting all Oracle” with it. They changed the release schedule to match their other patch schedules (quarterly instead of monthly), and the only other thing is the extension pack needs a license, but that was never open source. Almost nobody actually needs the functionality the extension pack provides, so it has no impact on regular usage.

The extension pack is different from the guest additions, which does not need a license.
There is an infinite amount of work in the future. Some jobs may become redundant because of AI but I don't see anyone becoming less busier.

If you're talking about type systems, you typically have one per language: a language has a certain type system. A different language might have a different one. If different implementations of the same language have different type systems, they tend to be called different dialects, if not different languages altogether.

But as noted in a sibling comment by 'chc4, one might want different AI domains for the same language, either all at the same time, or in different compiler passes, or only if the optimiser is enabled, etc. While AI might look like a type system, and perhaps the algorithms are sort-of similar, at the very least the two are used differently.

EDIT: There is prior art on doing type systems and further analyses simultaneously; these are sometimes called "type and effect systems": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_system
Contrary to what wikipedia seems to claim, such systems need not actually talk about side-effects only; one can also formulate provenance analysis in a programming language (e.g. which lambda can end up in this function-typed variable?) as a type-and-effect system.
I don’t think it’s a bubble yet. I think it’s very real and very early. Yes, most AI startups will fail and have little to no revenue just like how most software startups were prior to the AI boom. That hasn’t changed.

But we are so early in the LLM era. Hell, Slack hasn’t even added an LLM for chat histories, which is something I desperately want. AI agents are just starting. Scaling law hasn’t stopped.

There are a ton of use cases where I think LLMs are extremely helpful but we are bottlenecked by inference speeds and context size. Both of which are rapidly improving. There will come a break point where models are cheap, capable, and fast. We are not there yet. It’s really freaking early.

Expecting AI companies to generate massive amounts of revenue now is silly. Most of them will fail. But some of them will be absolutely gigantic.

> - Macbeth is old fiction, but some approaches to adapting it are BETTER than others

I did say and mean that.

> - Don't do something "incongruent" and "brazen" like cast a black man and call your movie Macbeth, because that isn't one of the BETTER approaches.

That isn't what I said.

Do cast a black man, do call it Macbeth. But seriously, keep going. It's weird to set something in Medieval Scotland and make just one guy a-historical. Make half the cast black, or whatever. It's seems like restraint or half-measure to try to keep in tradition in every other way but a single character. There's no reason you can't go full Bridgerton. I think that would serve it better.

I hope that's clear. I'm not sure if you actually aren't capable of grasping, or refuse to do so because you'd rather project racism. It's a bit weird.

Another user mentioned people are looking for "depth and coherent world building". I think if it feels coherent then it works.

> fail to actually make a point about why people are complaining about Gladiator 2

Dude. You brought up Gladiator 2, not me. Ask them why they're complaining, because I sure didn't.

> As it stands, you have drawn a rhetorical distinction between fictional Macbeth and the also-fictional Gladiator 2 without actually saying how they're different vis a vis performer ethnicity, other than "more people care about" Gladiator 2.

I don't know anything about Gladiator 2 other than it's an entirely new spectacle.
Designing a good adventure game is much easier said than done. I would eventually love to see him write that annotated version.
I got a buggy 1800X, shipped for RMA to a logistics center in IIRC the Netherlands from Germany. RMA took about 2 weeks altogether and it was worth it.

Since then, I've upgraded to the new top of the Ryzen line everytime there was a significant (>40%) increase in compilation performance. The 5950X was a notable dud in that regard.

Recently, setting power limits to get 90-95% of the performance at 60% of the TDP became a thing.
You'd really need to block fetch(), websockets, WebRTC, all external images/stylesheets/scripts added to the DOM later, and service workers (to prevent the upload from just being deferred). It's not easy to make sure a web page can't phone home.
Do you think we have tried all the recomended remedies? And who do we look to to define what is and isn't recommended?

We're in uncharted territory here, at least in modern history. At best experts can hypothesize about different interventions but they are ultimately making assumptions that frequently go unspoken.

The biggest category of remedies that I rare, if ever, see recommended is removing interventions from a complex system that has gone awry. In this case, instead of adding more layers to the economy by having the government give most people free money, potentially by racking uppre debt, maybe we should be reducing costs and liabilities. I wouldn't pretend to know what can or should be removed, but I would love to see honest research and consideration going towards what a remedy may look like if we come at it from the angle of subtraction.
A bubble is when expectations are severely detached from reality. Simple over-investing is not a bubble.
I would hazard a guess that AI technology is already close to break even from an economic perspective, nearly everyone I know (especially those not in tech) uses it on a daily basis to assist with their work, especially coming in the form of dealing with pointless bureaucracy, writing emails and ideation.

From a cashflow perspective however it is no where near close to capturing its economic benefit, and to be fair to the bubble supporters I agree that I can't see how it can capture this in the short term. In the long term its pretty clear that there will be some major winners here who will reap big rewards.

The bills are voted in the law by the democratically elected Members of the European Parliament and the democratically elected governments in the Council of the European Union.

Hum... So far I still have to see "improved productivity", at maximum some low skilled workers can find ways to complete some simple tasks quickly in certain domain, but that's essentially all.

IF an LLM could ingest news and summarize headlines every day some jobs might gain help, but so far next to nothing is there. Some have tried for stocks and does not went anywhere, some others have tried to replace call center operators with horrific mean results and so on.

Actually I fail to see much else except producing quick graphics for publishers and porn deepfakes for teenagers. At a certain point in time things might mature enough for something else, but so far...

The way some of my colleagues gush about objC, I wonder. I honestly can’t stand objC. This is coming from someone who coded in C for many years. Swift is such a huge improvement.
The amount of work to be done isn’t constant. If you make it cheaper to do a unit of work (less labor per unit) then the market will demand more of it.

We’ll just have more stuff. Product backlogs for most companies have no end so a worker going from creating 2 widgets to 10 widgets a month means they’re creating more bang for the buck.

It will only hurt industries with limited demand or fixed amount of work (think bookkeepers, customer support) that are cost centers.

Yes, but getting it in a response from an external server means I don’t have to be specific about which interface to get the IPv6 address of and so on.
I strongly suspect we're in an AI bubble, but that doesn't mean AI is without value. It's just that investors and entrepreneurs and CEOs get the zoomies about stuff like this. They go all in because they're scared someone is going to get ahead of them, or that they'll leave money on the table, and this often leads to a feedback loop as everyone tries to be more hyped than the last guy. But, obviously GenAI has already created a lot of value, and will create more. It's cool.

I hesitate to make comparisons, but I think of it like VR. For a hot minute, VR was supposed to be the future. We were all going to live our lives in VR. Zuckerberg goes all in. Turns out that's not happening anytime soon, but does that mean VR is a sham? No, it's actually really cool, and it'll keep getting better, but that doesn't mean we're going to spend 8-16 hours a day with a helmet on. That was just a bad prediction, and doesn't reflect on the technology or its value. Same with AI.

You should run both.

Consider Cloudflare (and large scale infrastructure providers like TLD operators) point of view on the traffic: If your private resolver is using root hints, it's IP is now correlated with the lookup of that domain even if they don't proxy the website. That's you and your users, and they can do that at scale - So it's important to point queries for your assets directly to your authoritative servers or rewrite inline without ever querying a internet source.

dnsdist[0] (also PowerDNS) allows you to load balance and apply rules across upstream resolvers which opens up allot of possibilities on the recursive side.

Trusted resolvers with a healthy number of users originating iterative queries from non-descript and changing IP's is probably the best way to anonymize your recursive traffic.

Problem is, with every advance in worker productivity, workers either work the same or more. They may become more efficient, but the real benefit hardly goes to the worker - it goes to the organization. Whether that’s good, bad, or somewhere in between is another conversation and highly dependent on where you measure success in increased productivity.
And you have to.

Sometimes (most of the time) you bet wrong or just don't win on some new technology you think is important.

But, while fast followers can sometimes get there, you mostly have to place a meaningful bet even if the outcome is hardly pre-ordained.

> I was a kid at the time, but did many people actually buy windows?

Definitely. A new boxed OS version would often be the only updates anyone ever applied to their system. Even if you had Internet access, dial-up speeds and limited disk space meant downloading OS updates was often impractical. Even relatively small updates took forever to download.

There was also the relative costs of a computer. A $2,000 computer in 1995 would be about $4,000 in today dollars. Buying an OS update would be a relatively inexpensive way to upgrade the capabilities of your expensive computer without completely replacing it. Going from some Windows 3.1 release to Windows 95 would have been a nice upgrade in system stability for many people. Certainly not everyone but for many.
What is concerning is it seemed like money had dried up, people were laid off. But at the same time, there seems to be so much cash available for AI. If this is a bubble,it will be interesting to see CEOs come back again, in tune, and say "I'm truly sorry I have to lay 30% of you off, layoffs are never easy, this is on me, we could not have foreseen this...best of luck".
But is this pattern of small, cheap, and fast models profitable for the companies making them? Open-source models capable enough to solve user needs and small enough to run on-device: they’re great for users, but it means there’s no one company to take profit. Everybody and every product becomes more valuable and more capable, which is hard to extract differential profit from.
I can't speak to why it's popular, but I will say that the reason I chose it for one of my projects was because I pretty much had to as there were no better alternatives.

Most of the other tools like RAGAS and DeepEval are:

- Written in Python (vs. JavaScript like promptfoo), whereas our codebase is in Rails

- Get too into the weeds of AI, whereas I just want to write simple tests for my webapp not stare at a bunch of math equations

- Are hosted SaaS solutions (vs. open source like promptfoo) and I don't want to deal with the 6 month enterprise software sales cycle just to add a couple tests

So we basically ended up with promptfoo. That said, it felt really awkward to use promptfoo and I don't really love it. I'd love a super simple way to add some integration tests for an LLM so I can just keep iterating
So do you think AI expectations are currently detached from reality? Can you quantify it?
