There is no way of proving awareness in humans let alone machines. We do not even know whether awareness exists or it is just a word that people made up to describe some kind of feeling.
If you already have a copyable version of the character it also works in the original Google search. Or any other place you can put it. The problem is when you don't have the literal character as text (say, an image, video, or non-digital source) and need to reproduce it to do that lookup in the first place.

Literally anti-constitutional.
Yes. Isn't that obvious? Everyone has different natural sleep patterns, some have later cronotypes. Meetings set too early in the day for your body's preferred time to be asleep will result in having to wake up with an alarm to attend them.

My team moved our daily standup later in the day to accommodate my delayed sleep phase and it's been extremely helpful to getting a full night's uninterrupted sleep.
If you don't show up at a particular time in the morning then you're a horrible person and not a Team Player. Every day, year after year.

Good teams make it after everyone would have reasonably absorbed their coffee. But some teams get pushed earlier. Particularly if there are people in EST, CST, and definitely if you've got people in India, where 9 am PST is when you should be reading your kids bedtime stories.
I wish someone marked it as duplicate or too broad or too specific and closed it.
Asking candidates: "Don't use AI" is like all those other arbitrary handicaps that interviewers used to (and sometimes still do) weirdly insist on:

"Write this code, but don't read the API definition (like a normal developer would do in the course of their work)"

"Whiteboard this CRUD app, but don't verify you did it right using online sources (like a normal developer would do in the course of their work)"

"Type this function out in a text document so that you don't have the benefit of Intellisense (like a normal developer would have in the course of their work)"

"Design this algorithm, but don't pull up the research paper that describes it (like a normal developer would do in the course of their work)"

You're testing a developer under constraints that nobody actually has to actually work under. It's like asking a prospective carpenter to build you a doghouse without using a tape measure.
I read it the same way….
Depends on the developer. in the Practice of Programming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Practice_of_Programming by Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike they say they use debuggers only to get a stack trace from a core dump and use printf for everything else. You can disagree but those are known very good programmers.
>Regardless of what Altman says, its been two years since OpenAI released GPT-4, and still no GPT-5 in sight.

It's been 20 months since 4 was released. 3 was released 32 months after 2. The lack of a release by now in itself does not mean much of anything.

There's a kind of bait-and-switch going on here.

> A small research community of unusually smart/competent/well-informed people can relatively-easily outperform a whole field, by having better internal memetic selection pressures.

Sure, that's true.

> In particular, LessWrong sure seems like such a community.

HOLD ON THERE. The first thing you said: easily true. The second thing: show your proof!

Here it is:

> We have a user base with probably-unusually-high intelligence, community norms which require basically everyone to be familiar with statistics and economics, we have fuzzier community norms explicitly intended to avoid various forms of predictable stupidity, and we definitely have our own internal meme population.

Uh, let's rework that into a more plausible, pliable form - "steelman" if you will.

> We have a user base with probably-unusually-high intelligence, community norms which require basically everyone to be familiar with statistics and economics, and fuzzier community norms explicitly intended to avoid various forms of predictable stupidity.

Line by line:

> We have a user base with probably-unusually-high intelligence

What, for like... all fields? This needs to be compared with specific fields. And shown in a less hand-wavy way how lesswrong scores meaningfully better than academic researchers with more subject matter expertise.

> community norms which require basically everyone to be familiar with statistics and economics

The problem is right there in the text you cited: memeticity [on lesswrong] is mostly determined, not by the most competent researchers, but instead by roughly-median researchers. Also "familiar" != learned well.

> fuzzier community norms explicitly intended to avoid various forms of predictable stupidity

I award zero points for this, especially when compared to an academic community which has similar (plausibly better) training, which better understands the pitfalls of data collection in their field.
If you took the intersection of every human's abilities you'd be left with a very unimpressive set.

That also ignores the fact that the small set of humans capable of building programming languages and compilers is a consequence of specialization and lack of interest. There are plenty of humans that are capable of learning how to do it. LLMs, on the other hand, are both specialized for the task and aren't lazy or uninterested.

> preempt and thereby insult anybody who subscribes to a belief I consider to be misguided

This is the totem. You react to a misguided belief even when it’s a phantom.

If you look at two-mode polarised discussions, you’ll find both sides talking about a totem of the other, reacting to imagined preëmptions and rarely interacting with each other. The graphs separate. As a result, the preëmptions are more imagined than real. (Both in characterisation and frequency of emergence.

Note that this is perfectly normal. Kids do it. And it’s fun. It’s also easy, since instead of reacting to anything empirical or well argued you’re constructing straw men for the purpose of taking them down.
Maybe it's time for the pendulum to swing in the other direction in terms of regulation and all the things you mention, but I think this is why it sucks that all we have is a pendulum, and can't get people to talk like adults.

My gut has been that during the next administration there's going to be a fire sale on regulation, and we're in for some type of major bubble popping due to de-regulation ala the savings and loan crisis or 2008, not to mention probably numerous health crises in our future from less trust in vaccines and less regulation by the FDA.

But like, one side is rarely right about everything, so the fact that we have to choose between two extremes sucks.

Also, and I’m not saying Ben and Marc are wrong here, but I would have a healthy dose of skepticism towards anyone who says “the really core problem with our world is that we’re not doing this thing that would benefit me personally”.

Maybe we need more startup innovation, or maybe that’s just the thing the person heavily invested in startup innovation thinks.
The problem is not with open source as a concept and as a craft.

The problem is that people confuse it with making money.

If you are doing open source with the expectation that you will get rich,
then you are in the realm of cognitive dissonance.

There is nothing inherently wrong about donig it that way, but its not
in the spirit of open source.

A lot of "open source startup bros" just think open source is leet cool,
its trendy. But the idea that their hard work will go unpaid is an affront
for them.

Maybe you have a codebase and if it starts geting tractino you have a while
Where the community invests time and expands what the codebase can do.
Then there comes a juncture a semi open source "core" and then premium
(often partially created by the community) becomes closed source and
epxensive.

Yet the same people are happy to use open source platforms, databases,
operating sytems, etc etc ot create their new project yet they never
seem to feel the need to pass the money down the chain of programmers
who hve created everythig they use.

Brave new world was a utopia
I have tried a few AI coding tools and always found them impressive but I don't really need something to autocomplete obvious code cases.

Is there an AI tool that can ingest a codebase and locate code based on abstract questions? Like: "I need to invalidate customers who haven't logged in for a month" and it can locate things like relevant DB tables, controllers, services, etc.
As somebody who spends a fair amount of time studying math heavy material that uses math that I never studied formally, this stuff is the bane of my existence. It's one thing to see a random Greek letter, where at least I very likely know what the character "is" (eg, "rho" or "psi" or whatever) and can at least pronounce it to myself and make a mental note "go back and see what rho stands for in this equation". But exactly like you say "squiggle that looks like a cursive P" doesn't easily admit a mental placeholder, AND it's hard to look up later to find out exactly what it is. I've really wanted to tear my last hair out over this a few times. And I am pretty sure one recent such occasion involved this exact character, so this really hits home!

And never mind that cognitive load that comes from managing the use of symbols that are the "same symbol" modulo something the typeface. Trying to read something like

"Little b equals Fraktur Bold Capital B divided by (q times Cursive Capital B) all over Gothic Italic B", blah, blah... then throw in the "weird little squiggle that looks kinda like a 'p' but not quite". It's insane.

Is it really saving time or are you not thinking enough about what is wrong until you stumble on an answer? I can't answer for you but I find that the forced wait for build also forces me to think and so I find the problem faster. It feels slower though but the clock is the real measure.

There have been updates since 2019, most states publish an updated code annually.

I wonder if there are licensing issues w/ that, since it's a scrape of Justia. US law falls into a slightly complicated legal situation where the law is public domain, but various organizational bits can be copyrighted (see Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, Inc.). And a number of states' official copies are on Lexis who has very aggressive scraping protection.

A different scrape of Justia is included in at least one of the big ML legal corpuses, so it's already in use commercially and they're not publicly suing people left and right over it.

I've been thinking of spooling up an openstates-esque project to scrape all 50 into a common format via the original source documents, but it's a big undertaking when most people who don't have strict ethical/legal concerns just scrape justia or casetext.

I had Codeium add something to a function that added a new data value to an object. Unbidden it wrote three new tests, good tests. I wrote my own test by cutting and pasting a test it wrote with a modification, it pointed out that I didn’t edit the comment so I told it to do so.

It also screwed up the imports of my tests pretty bad, some imports that worked before got changed for no good reason. It replaced the JetBrains NotNull annotation with a totally different annotation.

It was able to figure out how to update a DAO object when I added a new field. It got the type of the field wrong when updating the object corresponding to a row in that database column even though it wrote the liquibase migration and should have known the type —- we had chatted plenty about that migration.

It got many things right but I had to fix a lot of mistakes. It is not clear that it really saves time.
Just my lack of experience here, but I'm trying to verify I'm successfully using sold. The mold linker claims it leaves metadata in the .comment section, but on mach-o does that exist? Is there a similar evaluation command using objdump as the mold readelf command?
It could be motivated by the fact that Russell and Whitehead needed a symbol for printing that the printer had in his type case but could not be confused with anything else. Taking a iota and simply turning it upside down would then be a rather ingenious idea. But that is just my speculation ...
int *foo[3]; // pointer to array of int

that's an array of 3 pointers to ints. if you pass foo as an argument you get a pointer to a pointer to an int (with knowledge if you can hang onto it that there are more pointers to ints lined up in memory)
To a certain extent I think we get a better understanding what llms can do, and my estimation for the next ten years is more like best UI ever rather than llms will replace humanity. Now best UI ever is something that can certainly deliver a lot of value, 80% of all buttons in a car should be replaced by actually good voice control, and I think that is were we are going to see a lot of very interesting applications: Hey washing machine, this is two t-shirts and a jeans. (The washing machine can then figure out it's program by itself, I don't want to memorize the table in the manual.)

You could argue that he was fined for wilfully communicating his lies to everyone on the internet (at least in the anglosphere). The award made by the jury (not the court) was explicitly for punitive damages.

Indeed.

Even assuming the recent robot demo was entirely AI, the only single thing they demonstrated that would have been noteworthy was isolating one voice in a noisy crowd well enough to respond; everything else I saw Optimus do, has already been demonstrated by others.

What makes the uncertainty extra sad, is that a remote controllable humanoid robot is already directly useful for work in hazardous environments, and we know they've got at least that… but Musk would rather it be about the AI.

That's what I guessed from the story - I suppose that there would be a lot of reticence about buying this site from a lot of corporate actors, but maybe there are a lot of crazy people who could have bought it if the price was right. So, this way it is for sure a "dead" property.

> LOL, that's what everyone riding the "western diet" blood sugar roller coaster is already doing.

I don’t think so. In my observation a lot of people eat because it is time to eat, or because others are eating, or because they are bored, or because food is at hand.

> acting without self discipline

That is a curious thing to say. Not eating when one is not hungry takes a lot of self discipline. “Eat only when hungry” is a whole bunch of not eating.
Six fatalities, depending on who you ask and who's doing the causality calculus: three natural causes (overstress), one drug overdose, one natural causes next-day (suspected undiagnosed trauma during event), and one gunshot wound fatality.
>There is a LAN chip on the board but it should be left out, my tests were not great, it seems to cause stability issues in the system

- reset (and COM1_CS/RTC_DS) is routed horizontally across the board on inner layer cutting ground plane in half right under Realtek and both CPLDs :o. Weak stitching top layer islands using sparse tiny high impedance Vias is not a good way of joining isolated grounds.

- only one Realtek VDD pin 17 is connected to power plane with thick via, rest are using tiny signal vias.

- one tht 100nF capacitor might not be enough to decouple Realtek, usually on ISA cards there are pairs of caps for every one of RTL8019 six VDD inputs. Personally I think 12 caps is total overkill, but there is some middle ground in between.

- Realtek differential TX output is routed along whole ISA J7 slot between pins, seemingly not a problem except it also goes between crystal pins (with interrupted ground, big no no) and over SD8-15 with no ground plane under. Once again ground plane is disrupted by signals being routed in it. This might lead to for example 20 MHz clock being coupled to upper part of data bus.

- looks like 1.8432M for UART also goes across whole board with no ground plane in places.

>In GitHub there are separate projects published for each of my design iterations.

Would it be possible to upload whole kicad project (pcb, sch)? Much easier to browse than gerbers re-imported into pcbnew.

- Whats the deal with RTC_CS from POWER_GOOD? Why additional redundant hex inverter generator for 32KHz?

- Power and reset generation seems very elaborate, 6 chips doing the work of two 7404 inverters and few RC pairs.

The Babylon Bee has gotten better, but it's still pretty amateurish compared to the best of The Onion. It's nice to have a satirical publication that leans the other way for balance.
It's not as good as tags but it does pretty ok for now especially since searching for specific text in an image is something I want to do a lot. I'm trying to work on getting llama to output according to a user defined tagging vocabulary/taxonomy and ideally learn from manual classifications. Kind of a work in progress there.

This is the prompt I've been using.

"Create a structured list of all of the people and things in the image and their main properties. Include a section transcribing any text. Include a section describing if the image is a photo, comic, art, or screenshot. Do not try to interpret, infer, or give subjective opinions. Only give direct, literal, objective descriptions of what you see."
> haven't consumed the galaxy

That's absurd. If you can make a self-replicating probe, you can code a heuristic that prevents a grey goo scenario. Cells reproduce, but they haven't consumed the galaxy.

So, the existence of spurious reports magically invalidates actual probes?
That's a good question. I presume there is some way to check github for how much code in each language is available on it.
