The GP gave a single trivial example and my reply was highlighting how that example didn't inform the question at hand in any way. That example might be just as well be exhibited by a lookup table, a lucky random output, a modified markov chain, a Chinese Box, a trivial small language model trained on the right corpus, etc.

That certain LLM's or chatbots might also be able to deliver on more sophisticated examples that those systems cannot is not what they or I were talking about here. It was a discussion about obviousness from trivial samples, and about the deeper semantic dependencies hidden the GP's definition. Such trivial samples don't hold up to scrutiny as their definition recurses down through concepts that are not at all demonstrated in these trivial cases. Their attempt at rhetoric just fails.

> Empirically assessing the result after the fact is how we determine intelligence and reasoning in.. anything humans included.

No. We project intelligence onto humans inductively by identifying our own experience as intelligence and assuming that other things that are almost identical to us are very likely to be working in the same way.

In recent decades, there's been growing acceptance that other systems approximately like us (animals of certain kinds) exhibit it to various degrees as well, but even this itself was a formally rejected concept during the early 20th century when "intelligence" first became treated as something measurable and quantifiable at all. The concept of intelligence is a wholly cultural one and its definition and applicability moves around over time.

Yet there are currently very few people who would apply the word to a lookup table, a random output, a Chinese Room, a modified markov chain, etc and a smattering-but-growing number of people who are comfortable applying it to LLM's and chatbots as we see them today. As this happens and its use expands, the sense of the word changes, as it has been doing for hundreds of years.

At this point, we mostly can't yet rely on chatbots to fulfill roles that require interesting human intelligence. They can pass some benchmark tests to greater or less degrees, but also happen to be excellent benchmark optimizers (that's the essence of their design), so it remains hard to know what that really means.

If and when they become reliable substitutes for human intelligence in general tasks, or become interestingly independent in the way we see certain animals, the prior-yet-modern senses of intelligence will be easier to apply. But we're not there yet.
Yep. I agree. The "auto-click" thing would be optional. Should be able to turn it on and off. With auto-click off it would just position the mouse and say "click here".
Clickhouse and Postgres are just different tools though - OLTP vs OLAP.
It's fun and valuable to have a place to land proposals and try them out early (seems like TS itself should have flags for this though). The problem is that as the proposal is refined, or if it is rejected, it implies constant changes to your language, which will basically drive away anyone who's not experimenting around for fun in the same mindset as you. Could be good or bad, although managing the flux might be tricky even so.

The addition of quick things you whipped up in a couple of hours seems like it'll make the rate of changes impossible to handle. It's unlikely almost by definition that the change you whipped up quickly will stand the test of repeated use and further experience unmodified.

All that said, it's a super fun thing to do, and hats off for such an ambitious project. If nothing else, writing a parser, transpiler, etc. is impressive and fun work, and will undoubtedly enable/force you to learn all the javascript/TS quirks and details extremely well! :-)
> How does border security or limits on immigration prepare the US for taking in large numbers of climate refugees?

By making sure that when those refugees show up cities aren't already overwhelmed by migrants also by helping the government keep track of how many people are here and how many are entering so they can make informed decisions about how many refugees we can accommodate.

My understanding is NAT46 is very nearly the same as NAT44 ("traditional NAT" between IPv4 and IPv4), using tricks like (but sometimes different from) SOCKS and UPnP and fake port numbers to accept incoming connections for one (or more) IPv4 addresses to pretend to be/delegate to some number of IPv6 consumers behind it. It doesn't solve general routing of any IPv6 address, just specific addresses routing via an IPv4 proxy.

To my understanding, the difference between NAT44 and NAT46 is really hard to spot in practice and somewhat "just" a distinction of whether or not the NAT in question thinks of its IPv6 subnet or IPv4 subnet as "primary". I've heard some major consumer-side routers quietly upgraded to NAT46 as "primary" because it does lend itself to better consumer experiences. Also I've heard some CGNAT (Carrier Grade NAT) is easier to build when considered as NAT46 than NAT44 (as awful as CGNAT is as a general thing).

NAT46 is absolutely a standard designed to be a temporary solution. It's just about the exact same ugly temporary solution as NAT44. (Or at least as NAT44 was supposed to be. The continued confusion of NAT44 as a security measure will probably keep NAT44 still in use long after its problem disappears and its temporary transition window has expired.)

(NAT64 is the interesting one that may not be as temporary as networks move to IPv6-only single stacks. Some cell carriers have already moved in that direction.)
Animals, small children, and random objects dropped on the road don't adapt to human driving either; they aren't generally considered the core concern space (in the sense that if it is physically possible for a self-driving car to do better than a human in those contexts, it will, but the project isn't designed around doing better than a human in such corner cases. Doing worse than a human is not acceptable).
Maybe that's why my car keeps turning on the music when I didn't ask -- I had always thought Tesla devs were just absolute noobs when it came to state management.
Nah, it's the equivalent of seeing faces in static, or animals in clouds.

Our brains are hardwired to see patterns, even when there are none.

A similar, and related, behavior is seeing intent and intelligence in random phenomenon.

So you think it's my responsibility to take on Google and every other mega corporation? You're huffing your own farts.

What have you done to "dismantle" the ad companies? Nothing? Got it.

>but when you come boasting about how you are for "getting a nice TV for cheap" just turns the whole thing into complete moral bankruptcy.

Let those without sin cast the first stone. It seems you're throwing a lot of stones, but I doubt your own moral fortitude. You've not said one thing about anything that you have done to "dismantle" these companies you seem to fear so much. Put up or shut up.

>You are not sticking to the man. You are just a rounding error to them, when you could full well be part of an alternative that puts human decency above petty savings.

I don't really care what you think, you're so full of hate that you can't understand what's going on at all.

I got a cheap TV, subsidised by ad companies, and I didn't let them do what they wanted to do to recoup that cost. If you don't think that is at least a little bit of "sticking it to the man" then you're just deluded and cranky and an typical internet troll.

To add on, I’ve worked with a lot of current and past Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) students at an aerospace industry non-profit. I do not see a difference with their quality of work and dedication between them and University of Toronto (UofT) students. Several of these students went on to land engineering and research internships at the Canadian Space Agency or work at a well-known aerospace company.

The main advantage that UofT has for its undergraduates is related to funding. UofT’s engineering design teams tend to be better-funded than TMU’s, though TMU’s engineering design teams still perform very well—proudly outperforming UofT’s teams in certain years despite the funding gaps. In addition, some TMU students I’ve spoken with mentioned that UofT has more research opportunities. The name of the university also has a positive impact on admissions for students applying to graduate school. These advantages are not a reflection of the students who attend, but rather UofT’s ability to raise funds.

There is also a disadvantage I’ve seen at UofT. The TMU engineering students I’ve known have mentioned getting extensions approved easily for assignments and homework, to pursue professional opportunities such as hackathons and conferences. That is generally unheard of, from my experience in a STEM program at UofT. Policies are strictly outlined (with some leniency in many courses, such as dropping the lowest assignment mark), and I generally have not seen professors grant exceptions to these.

But the main difference I’ve seen between TMU people and UofT people is university pride. I’ve met several people who were proud to go to TMU and succeed, whereas I haven’t seen that at UofT (with the exception of UofT’s engineering department). I’m satisfied with the opportunities I’ve gotten due to attending UofT—especially as I was involved with its on-campus work program and an engineering design team there—but I haven’t met many UofT people fiercely proud of their school, in contrast to the TMU people I’ve met.

In any case, I am happy to work with people from either school. Work experience and personality has mattered more to me than the name of the university that a person went to, and both TMU and UofT offer great opportunities for students to gain relevant experience—though these are up to the students to pursue, outside of their required classes.
> I think there's a genuine conversation to be had about whether there even is such a thing as "hate speech."

It may be fuzzy on the far edges, but any speech that calls for the elimination, marginalizes, dehumanizes or denies human or civil rights of a group of people is right in the heart of the meaning of hate speech.

That definition still leaves huge amounts of space for satire, comedy, political and other forms of protected speech, even "offensive speech".
It is appalling how bad GPT-4o is at writing API calls to OpenAI using Python. It is like OpenAI doesn't update their own documentation in the GPT-4o training data since GPT-3.5.

I constantly have the problem that it thinks it needs to write code for the 0.28 version of the SDK. It'll be writing >1.0 code revision after revision, and then just randomly fall back to the old SDK which doesn't work at all anymore. I always write code for interfacing with OpenAI's APIs using Claude.

In general, yes: there is a long history of conversation on various topics, actions that have caused trust levels to be preset among various groups, and meta-symbols constructed atop that information. Those new to the conversation may be unaware of the context.

> and now only those whom we agree with are tolerated

I'm not sure who "we" is in that context. In the US, currently, the polity is very divided because sevaral key events have, in a sense, caused "mask off" to occur in the mainstream of both political parties that makes it difficult for anyone to believe one of them is willing to share power.

(as a side note: rhetorical questions don't usually convey well through text media. If you didn't literally mean "I really don't get it" when you said you didn't get it, making clear you are being rhetorical could be considered polite).

I used to shit on English class to anyone who would listen, but lately (at age 40) I realize (and grow frustrated at) how poorly most people around me communicate. But then again, I recall my English classes throughout highschool and college and very little time was spent on how to be clear, how to be precise, or how to revise. That definitely wasn't the parameter the curriculum was optimizing for. Sure, there was writing but the grade you got back was simply how much the instructor liked what you had to say.
Wrong number, I'm afraid.
Why would you assume that actual election ink is as easily washable as that? Surely other people thought about the problem at hand for more than a minute, right?

It actually stains fingernails in such a way that the ink only truly disappears when the nail grows.

From Wikipedia:

> Election stain typically stays on skin for 72–96 hours, lasting 2 to 4 weeks on the fingernail and cuticle area. The election ink used puts a permanent mark on the cuticle area, which only disappears with the growth of the new nail. It can take up to 4 months for the stain to be replaced completely by new nail growth. Stains with concentrations of silver nitrate higher than 18% have been found to have no added effect on stain longevity, as silver nitrate does not have a photosensitive reaction with live skin cells. This means that the stain will fade as new skin grows.

Many people seem to have skewed expectations, but posting on X is no different from publishing a blog post. Unless they're taking similar actions for private posts, this isn’t too surprising. In fact, X is arguably more transparent about it. (Other platforms might not explicitly mention AI, but often include terms in their ToS that allow similar practices.)

It wouldn’t be surprising if Facebook is doing the same, provided it only applies to public posts. Ultimately, if you don’t want your content scraped from the internet, the best defense is not to post it at all.

Broadly speaking: while there is a real problem here and it needs to be addressed, it's mostly around the systemic issues: letting Silicon Valley outsource trauma to places that will under-serve the people who experience the trauma is bad and shouldn't be allowed.

Issue 1, the direct trauma, is tragically endemic to providing fora for people to communicate online. Someone will be the front-line of dealing with the fringe of those communications. If it isn't people training AIs to do some of the 90%-work, it's instead human moderators having to review every complaint, which is strictly more trauma.
