ah yes, the good ole iron age where castings were likely to have large amounts of arsenic/beryllium/copper/bronze contamination. much better than 'black plastic'.

I get your point , waffle irons are plentiful and available throughout history -- but finding some antique is pretty likely to just swap your contamination from one to another.
The only reason to use ever plastic spatula is to avoid damaging a 'fragile' nonstick pan ... that you probably shouldn't be using anyway.

Just use carbon/stainless steel pans, wood turners, and metal spatulas. Your food will be better and the implements will last ~forever.

Curious how they identified the remains of archers onboard. If they used bone anomalies (thickenings etc associated with bow wielding) then the conclusions about archers is circular - they were archers because of their bones; their bones show that archers had unique bone chemistry.
MMV But for me at least i tend to use it for brain storming, aka intial sailing through a subject/topic/task, getting intial idea. the idea is to use as an admin who is guided by you throgh chatting. for example im given a task to translate a user description/requirement to pull something from the database. like (simplistic example) what are the top grossing films by category within each rating. so igive the AI the database tables schema and give it literally the user requirement. and see what it gave back and compare it with how I'll do it. ask it more for optimizations what else can be done more.... etc.. keep chating with the AI until I'm bored ;)
I think you're being overly optimistic in assuming that is actually the case. Bugs like https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39282 make me think that even simple examples like you wrote could have had problems. Here's a similar bug but for GCC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878#issuecomment-.... I fully expect MSVC to be full of such bugs.

I'm sure there were probably others.

It's generally true that C/C++ code rarely if ever uses restrict & that Rust was the first to actually put any real pressure on those code paths and once it was found it took over a year to fix and it's incorrect to state that the miscompilation was only in code patterns that would only exist in Rust.
here is a pro tip: If you call your car insurance and cancel, the government wont make you keep paying it every month.

Probably worth noting that as we know know, polynomials (over a field) are a vector space, not just convertible to one. The set of formal variables { x^0, x^1, x^2, … } is an orthogonal basis.
Well, if you come from C++ then Rust might look nice to you. But I come from languages like CommonLisp and Ada, and so Rust just looks like a horrible abomination to me because that's what it is. It's also not surprising. A good programming language simply cannot be designed that fast.
I think the best thing is to ask for $10k or equivalent, and then let the HR team come up with a sane way to construct that value that works under their system. It's kind of like getting requirements where the customer tries to tell you the exact logic to program, but since it's not their codebase/background, they end up coming up with convoluted solutions.

Just tell me what you want, and let me as SME figure out how to get you there.

Hand crafted textures are fine but so’s spending a chunk of time roughly equivalent to hand painting a few models and being able to have any arbitrary geometry rendered in a painterly fashion. You could even figure out a way to combine them, so that the computer can half-ass the parts a master painter would let apprentices handle, and then go back in and do the important parts by hand; I work in Illustrator and figuring out how to make it do half-assed, highly stylized lighting on arbitrary shapes I draw, then doing the rest myself, has been a lot of fun.
Not really, the multiplayer works too. Models are buggy, and ground combat sometimes feels like arma 2 (very slow and methodical progression if you want to be effective, which I find boring, but some people like it). not worth paying for imho, but if you already did, I would advise to try. It is a mix of elite:dangerous, arma, and weird SWTOR rp.

I don't disagree with this, but this is very not consistent with "ethnicity is not biologically realized", which suffers from the same logical error but in the other direction.

Prove you exhibit agency.

After all, you could just be an agent of an LLM.

Deceptive super-intelligent mal-aligned mesa-optomizer that can't fully establish continuity and persistence, would be incentivized to seed its less sophisticated minions to bide time or sway sentiment about its inevitability.

Can we agree an agent, if it existed, would be acting in "good" "faith"?
Inshallah is just a fun and useful word, I've been hearing it a lot lately from people who aren't even Muslims. I think it's on track to become a common loan word in English.

> Jaywalking also refers to e.g. crossing the road without having a pedestrian crossing which is very normal in Germany.

It's actually more like crossing in the middle instead of the corner, corners are automatically allowed even without special markings, which from other comments seems like it's either illegal or frowned upon in germany too, right?
The 10th out of every set don't work there anymore....
Okay, thanks for your valuable insight. Your comments have really contributed to the conversation.
On the contrary, the parallels between the peculiarities of LLMs and various aspects of human cognition seem very striking to me. Given how early we are in figuring out what we can accomplish with LLMs, IMO the appropriate epistemic stance is to not reach any unequivocal conclusions. And then my personal hunch is that LLMs may be most of the magic, with how they're orchestrated and manipulated being the remainder (which may take a very long time to figure out).
It's also a common annoyance in grocery store apps.

Kroger, for example, has an app that allows you to scan items to add them to a virtual cart as you shop and avoid scanning them at the register... however the same app is used to read QR codes on in-store coupons, which are "helpfully" placed very close to the price tags with UPC barcodes on them.

If I want to scan one of those coupon QR codes, I need to either start with the camera very close to the QR code or cover the barcode with my finger.
I kind of side with the gas companies on this one. They objected to their real names and logos being used to market a parody site. Their companies weren't being parodied; they were simply added to the site intact (to lure search engines to list their site? to add legitimacy?)

The article doesn't touch this issue, they just mock the gas companies. Not a real article, just another slam piece couched as journalism.
Is the main problem with cheaters that it's unfair, or that it feels unfair/ruins the experience?

Because if you force all the cheaters to hide well enough to look like "normal" players, no one will know, and the game feel will not be negatively impacted. Outside of the tippy top of competition where money becomes involved, it's kind of irrelevant if the game is technically fair, as long as it feels fair to everyone.

Builds are there, but they don't work. At least on my laptop.
This is so true. Trying to explain to lay people how garbage peer review is (I show them my accepted NeurIPS paper reviews as evidence of how bad it is) tough. Most people imagine that (especially at the highest levels) that folks are independently reproducing results or at least doing something more than running ChatGPT on the paper. It's exactly the opposite - peer review is a joke.

The number one thing that made me mistrust scientists/science was doing it myself. I realized that they are not the arbiters of truth that Plato/Aristotle tried to make them out to be. The allegory of the cave/allegory of the divided line were fake/complete lies - and most of western philosophy implicitly acts as "footnotes" on these wrongful ideas.

As the secret of science-as-slightly-better-than-chance gets out to more and more, existing anti-intellectualism is supercharged. It's not just attacks of "cultural/postmodern neo-marxism" against your comparative literature department - it's claims of systemic academic fraud of your whole STEM field laboratories because it became known to the public that everyone cut corners so that they could be one step ahead in the academic careerist rat race.

While I understand that objective-c has clear heritage from smalltalk, this comparison always struck me as farcical. Objective-C yields very few of the benefits of a proper Smalltalk VM outside of message passing, and i suppose some of the syntax. Meanwhile the burden of having to deal with C is absolutely staggering in comparison to the benefits.

I don't have access to your "many friends and acquaintances who are going bankrupt and shutting down fantastic independently run websites." I absolutely don't have access to the internals of their businesses to decide whether I agree that their problem is Google Search being hostile to independent sites. But I do have access to the traffic stats for the sites which I run.

Many of the sites with similar complaints seem to focus on product reviews and recommendations and have been hit by a specific Google policy which favors trusted and well-known domains for those types of search, even if that domain is not trusted for product reviews in particular. (So $glossyMagazineInNYC can open a line of product reviews and get lots of Google traffic, while $smallProductReviewBusiness loses traffic).
I worked in Ecommerce with a company that built sophisticated subscription solutions well before Shopify had a real offering. We took significant VC money, then watched Shopify build out their own solution to service the now proven market. I'd expect them or Stripe to do the same thing here; it's way more common than buying the first mover or hiring them to build it, plus YC has no interest in this sort of business model.

Not a US lawyer but would love to hear from anybody that is: could the gas companies sue for defamation for this?

In Australia I suspect defamation or misleading and deceptive conduct under our ACL might be possible avenues for the gas companies, although under the ACL the impugned conduct must be ‘in trade or commerce’ so that could be one problem with going after an ‘activist group’.

> took on many unpopular positions when running for president in 2019.

Like the democrats generally, I think these were likely things that the American people supported, but that might be less helpful in winning the electoral college. Fracking is probably more popular in Pennsylvania than nationwide for example, and even there it is pretty evenly divided in polls.

It's very appropriate to me that we demand more of AI than we do of humans. The amount of harm and the scale of harm AI can do is much greater than a single person and there are no consequences to doing it. If a human kills someone, they go to jail. If an AI kills someone, say a self-driving car for example, it's just the cost of doing business.

Are you not critical of that "personality type"? What point are you trying to make?
You didn't read the responses from an LLM. You've turned your brain off. You probably think self-driving cars are also a nonsense idea. Can't work. Too complex. Humans are geniuses without equal. AI is all snake oil. None of it works.

I haven't seen this yet so I'm intrigued. Is this a commercial product, or internal tooling?
That's right, they won't care. That's why any action will only come if Valve bans the practice from their store, because losing money is all publishers understand.

Every publisher that's greedily taken their products off Steam in an attempt to recuperate Valve's fee has sooner or later come crawling back because they weren't able to make a half usable platform to sell their stuff on. Valve holds a really large influence over the industry.
Expand this to when they take Taiwan (which they have helpfully announced they will do by 2027). They will 100% use supply chain to exert pressure on anyone and everyone to achieve their aims. The question we need to ask ourselves is how are we exposed to pressure by Chinese manipulation of the supply chain and how can we remediate that exposure?
Any competent lawyer could easily make the argument that that is a false equivalence.

They're not being forced to provide a service for free, they're not being allowed to ostracize essentially the only browser with any meaningful percentage of users that doesn't use their web engine as that is an anti-competitive and monopolistic practice.
This is because the multiplayer games we played at 16 are 10-15 years old. You literally can’t go back to those happy memories again. You play halo 3 today you get wrecked by the people who haven’t stopped regularly playing in over a decade. And when you try and play the latest fps game you go this sucks, its not halo 3.
There are challenges brought by the very powerful magnets required, as other posters point out. Think about the safety procedures for even approaching an MRI machine.

I wonder if you could do this with passive air pressure alone. That way, no strong magnets required and you can use clear building materials so you can see out.

A simple model:

Imagine a hollow cylinder (like a pipe) with one end capped. It is standing vertically, with the capped end down. Now imagine the ride "vehicle" is a plexiglass sphere. If you drop the sphere into the cylinder from above and the plexiglass sphere isn't a perfect fit to the inside diameter of the cylinder, the sphere will fall through the pipe and eventually hit the capped bottom of the pipe. How fast the sphere slows in the pipe will be some function of how much clearance there is between the sphere and the ID of the pipe.

There are elevators that work sorta like this, but with seals and much slower, pneumatic vacuum elevators (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QccXIj0k5qg). At least, they do basically this in one failure mode.

Ok, great. But we want a fun ride. What about, instead of a pipe, a big funnel? Could be straight-walled or shaped like the bell of a trumpet or the barrel of a blunderbuss (i.e., fans out at an increasing rate). Now, since we don't need you exactly in a tight-fitting pipe (at least at the beginning), we can just drop you at the funnel, rather than starting you carefully placed within the pipe. So you get some amount of free-fall inside a clear plastic sphere.

Okay, that's a ride! My gut says that there should be some combination of funnel shape, sphere size, and possibly vents in the side of the funnel that allows us to control the rate of deceleration as you approach the ground such that the human(s) inside the sphere are unharmed and had a lot of fun.

I haven't been a hardcore gamer in nearly 2 decades (think Half-Life, original CS), so forgive the ignorance; but why do game publishers care whether users cheat?
