But do they want to play that game? Dungeon and Dragons, plus the computer RPGs that it inspired, represent an idealized version of the "building up of the self" that one does in, say, contemporary urban China, U.S., etc.

What would a game set in a world of positive socialism be like? Is it like Sim City or can we tell compelling stories about people who are part of the plan?

Fiction needs compelling villains. Time Bandits on Apple TV fails at this and instead is a madcap ramp through character and setting where good and evil seem equally bad. Contrast that to Foundation where Tellum Bond was quite terrifying and set expectations for the Mule to be much more terrifying in the next season.

Real life doesn't.

I'm not the best one to answer your question, but I know there's Buildroot and Yocto - the latter being a bit "heavy" in terms of setup. I think I would go for one of those distros that focus on minimalism (Damn Small Linux, Alpine, ...) which also have precompiled packages for your target (note: Debian does have a tool to build custom root filesystems [1]).

From there, get gcc and make for your platform, so you can carry on with compilation on-target, if possible; cross-compilation can be tricky. It should be ok if you don't want the heavier GUI stuff like X11/Wayland, browser etc.

> I keep wishing we could instead have an agile framework that works with human nature instead of fighting against it.

What you describe is human nature. Any framework that tries to work with human nature will end up there.

A framework that successfully fights human nature is the only hope. But, can you really fight human nature? My guess is no.
Can't wait until this is integrated with alpine linux. Has there been recent progress on this? Been watching it for years.
Every attempt to organize people bureaucratically ends in failure or war. We don't seem to learn this lesson as we keep trying.

No bureaucracy will ever care for individual goals, needs, desires as much as you will for yourself and your family.

We need some rules of the road and limits. History also proves that. But it's a fools errand to think that we can organize 8 billion people to work together, other than within some fairly loose rules that prohibit undesirable extremes of behavior.

they've broken the world record again

The world record for my being irritated by journalist's vacuous use of "world record" has been broken again. At least "world record" wasn't applied to astronomy or physics. So there's that.
I think your math is off by a bit. A Calorie and a watt-hour are approximately equal. Humans need about 2000 Calories per day. So 2.9 watt-hours is more like the amount of energy a human needs in a minute.

I think the confusion might come from the Calorie/calorie difference, i.e. 1 Calorie = 1000 calories = 1 kcal.
Apple has their standards high (though I agree they sometimes can't meet it themselves).

They wouldn't want their brand to be associated with some half baked feature that either runs very slow, or draws too much power/heats up, or unreliable.

So even if another version is technically capable of that feature, if it runs slowly/inefficient, they'd not enable it to protect their brand value which makes sense: as a user if Apple announces a feature, I know it's more "done" compared to the competition like say Samsung/Android etc. and I trust that it's not half baked (which sometimes fails to meet the expectations, but still MUCH better than the competition)

The business reasons are just a plus _on top of_ these reasons.
Good question. LLMs are surprisingly less fragile than hand-coded parsers for unstructured data like the ones in a bank statement.

And to be clear - I'm not sending the entire statement to Claude; instead, only the account name/narration of those transactions for which I already don't have a mapping. Claude then returns a well-formatted JSON that maps "amzn0026765260@apl" to "expenses:amazon", and "Veena Fuels" to "expenses:vehicle" and so on.

I can also pass in general instructions saying that "Restaurants and food-related accounts are categorized under 'expenses:food'", and it does a good job of mapping most of my dining out expenses to the correct account head.

The actual generation of journal entries are done by a simple Python script. The mapping used to be the hardest part, and what used to need custom classification models is just a simple prompt with LLM.
Efficiency doesn't matter if you have spare energy to use and can't. We have all the food we can eat and we remain dumb fucks.

With nuclear power and a way to scale up we could build a gigawatt tier brain if we wanted to.

Nobody is forcing anything on anybody here so there's no need to end your thought with a defiant coda.

You misunderstand the objection I hinted at. Which is fine. I'm not pro-"marketing bullshit" because it's not an either/or choice. What I object to is taking a perfectly normal word someone uses and then choosing a narrow, fraught, medical interpretation of the word to ascribe to them a viewpoint of, essentially, "they want you to be mentally ill!"

“Repeat after me. Don’t build on someone else’s platform.”

Initial growth on someone else's platform is a good idea. However, once you see some small success, it's best to think about diversifying. Mr. Beast has already done this. He's essentially his own brand now.

Almost 20 years ago, Ang Cui and I were bullshitting and brainstorming around an idea he had to categorize patterns in network traffic as audio tones so that one could listen to network traffic flow.

Kaiser Permanente is an insurer that also provides health care and solves all of the aforementioned problems.

Like almost all problems, it's a social/political mess, not something you can solve with better technology.
Other than the cal/kcal issue, I'm also curious if this comparison really pans out. If you had a fusion power plant, you could power processors with it, but how does raw power translate into human food? Even if you had some formula like Soylent Green, many humans would probably not cooperate after a while
I'm moderately interested in audio feedback indicating performance behaviour. Maybe memory allocation or syscalls. Page faults. Something to play during unit tests or similar and give some indication of things going wrong. Not interested enough to implement it yet.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: there is absolutely zero evidence indicating that we are any closer to AGI than what James Watt was to realizing nuclear fusion.

There are extremely well researched worms with only a few hundred neurons which we cannot yet simulate with anything resembling accuracy. How can that statement be true, if LLMs are close to delivering superhuman intelligence?
Insurers want those things to jack up all of our rates no matter how we drive. Give them enough data and they'll find something to justify screwing you over no matter how you drive.

I would like to learn more about what AI can do specifically to solve the climate crisis.

My guess is that a lot of the actual lift would come from industrial automation to create cheaper green products. I guess that is “AI” in some sense.

But if we are building solar panels, the R&D budget should be put towards streamlining the build process. Figure out how to commoditize solar panels so that oil is too expensive.

Building huge “foundation” models like I see huge AI labs doing is a bit like building better visualizations of an impending asteroid impact. It’s not really what we need right now.
Brilliant! Thanks for the link. I did not play WRPG (though I know more than a bit of the lore from WFB and things like Mordheim) much but this resonates with some memories :)

Some of the pages are on archive.org apparently.
They announced they're targeting 150 countries, so there will likely be CE-mark approval coming (this is the EU equivalent of the FDA).
Yeah my 10-month old son asks for me constantly(da da di da ta ti) if I'm away from him for more than a few hours. Separation is really tough for them to deal with because they don't have the tools or sophistication to understand why we're gone and that we're coming back. I had to spend a few weeks away from him when he was 4 months when my wife needed to be somewhere with a working kitchen and a clean floor and I needed to repair our kitchen and I think he was "colicky" during that time because he didn't understand where I was or when I would be back. This persisted during the week and then when I would spend the day with them he would calm down.

Suppose you are right. From a genetic perspective, the most logical course of hypothetical action is to immediately start smashing computers, learning how to blow up terminators, and to oppose and undermine anyone that thinks like you.

Now, I actually do not believe you are right and I am more inclined to believe that artificial intelligence stemming from humanity would see the value in human ideals. Certain things like love, morality, and humility have been deeply held ideals for millennia. I would suppose that an AI would, to some extent, value these things too. Think more “The Day the Earth Stood Still” than Terminator.

This is all conjecture, but one thing I would suggest to you: if you see the natural evolution of your own species to be the removal of itself, you probably should be nowhere near AI or alignment. What you suggest is akin to world-wide genocide. Ironically, in my estimation, you are less aware of humanity than AI will be.

Math was always really tough for me. My mother professed a "math block" and didn't deal in numbers. My father knew everything but kept the numbers to himself. I do suppose he helped some on my elementary math problems. There was no shortage of calculators, slide rules, and other gadgets lying around our home.

I sometimes surprised people by telling them that as a computer hobbyist/IT professional, I needed to know very little about math. As a programmer it was true. Internet engineering can rely highly on crunching small numbers in terms of addresses, ports and other things, so you get the binary and hex conversions.

But by high school, I was questioning the goals of learning advanced math. I was railroaded into calculus and beyond by college, and my teachers weren't great at giving me real-life scenarios where I'd be using this in my career or daily life, so I sort of checked out. I typically confuse numbers and forget them easily (unless it's the first girl I phoned in high school) and it worked out that I never needed calculus or trig in my career or daily life, ever at all.

Returning to community college recently, I found reductions in math requirements for the IT degrees, and lots of help. There was a supportive tutoring center where they could walk me through anything. I took online classes where I could basically brute-force every quiz for 100%. And if I was inclined to cheat, there were calculus solver websites that could do everything where my HP calculator fell short.

I suppose if I were a city planner, or a farmer-businessman, or going for some MBA to run companies, I'd be interested in calculating volumes of things or predicting financial outcomes, but I'm not and I won't, so these days I'm just amusing myself with finding prime numbers, and factoring the other ones.

well, the truth turned out to be quite complicated; see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vrhk5OjBP8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AXv49dDQJw. the result is more complicated than just a single time delay, and the details of the experimental setup (like the wire diameter! and load impedance relative to transmission-line pulse impedance) matter a lot. in alphaphoenix's first experiment, putting 5 volts into a kilometer of wire, he got 0.2 volts across his resistor immediately, then after about 1.6μs, a jump up to about 2 volts, and then a gradual rise to 1.7 volts, some overshoot peaking after another 1.6μs, and then settling back down to the 1.7-volt level

(derek's results in the linked video, which incidentally links to one of the two i linked above, were quantitatively different but qualitatively similar)

the really unintuitive thing about this i think is that people think of electrical energy as flowing inside wires, when actually almost all of it flows around the wires, as veritasium explained quite ably. this is something people doing high-speed pcb layout have to deal with a lot in order to avoid emi problems

as i understand it, derek has a ph.d. in physics, or actually in physics education research https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Veritasium. that doesn't mean he knows everything about physics, but generally my experience with people in ph.d. programs is that they're good at listening to counterarguments and admitting when they're wrong, and also seeking out experts before publishing

(i think the veritasium video does contain a minor error in that it says electrons collide with metal ions, which as i understand it is not exactly how ohmic resistance works—the 'electrons' moving through the lattice are not exactly electrons but virtual particles similar to phonons or plasmons, and so the things they scatter off of are not individual ions—but possibly derek knows this and was intentionally simplifying, or possibly my understanding is wrong. i mean, i don't have a ph.d. in anything, much less solid-state quantum physics! derek certainly knows the electrons traveling through the wire aren't point-like particles bouncing around like billiard balls, and that the ions aren't red spheres with plus signs on them, despite depicting them that way.)

Why do we have to simulate real neurons to achieve intelligence? We don't simulate a bird's bones and muscles to achieve flight.

> at least understanding the game might help you understand why his job is the crappiest of all of them.

Well, sure, but that's what the daily standup is for. So that the problem solvers on the team can understand the process, the problems it faces, and, importantly, find ways to optimize it.

But it seems, for how crappy you claim it to be, those in that position don't want to talk about it in fear that it will get optimized away. Job protectionism trumps all, I suppose.

Yeah I'm generally a tech skeptic, but getting FDA approval for a real, common problem is a fantastic use for this kind of device. I did an at-home sleep study a few months ago, and while it wasn't an unpleasant experience, it did involve a long wait for an appointment, two trips to & from a specialty clinic, and awkwardly strapping on this device to sleep with overnight. That's a lot of barriers. Being able to do get a useful result for a very impactful health condition, just with an affordable piece of hardware that many people already have is a game changer.

Great job to the team at Apple for getting this together & getting real approval for it.

True. And I don't think I ever claimed that never using rebase is a guarantee for anything.
