Why look past it? It's an important criticism and helps describe why the interviewee's answers lack depth and wisdom.

I worked for a company that located phones during E911 calls, at the cell network level, without using GPS, down to a few meters. The most humanitarian mission you can imagine. It was golden.

But it turns out, authoritarian states wanted to buy the very same tech to locate undesirable people, record their associates and travel history, geofence them, etc. Also turns out salespeople gonna sell. And that's how you go from an ethical position to another kind. People did quit over that.

Which is almost everywhere in the world. Fossil fuels make up around 80% of energy production.

> But if they start building wind turbines and solar farms, because those are just cheaper and easier -

If they were "just cheaper and easier" they wouldn't need huge clean energy investments and subsidies.

I love solar, but don't let anyone sell you on the fiction that your EV is avoiding fossil fuels at any time in the near future unless you have installed enough solar on your personal residence to charge your car every day.

And if you ask the people who have done that "hey, was it cheap and easy to move your car's energy consumption to renewables?" and they reply "Yes!", please bring their story back here and share with the class.

And this absurd outcome is partially due to a flagrant disregard for the sets of rules and procedures that came before this case.

The Knowledge Fight podcast covers this case in its entirety and it's clear that Infowars et al. has toed the line of criminal to delay and deny justice to the victims. The legal system hit the end of the road and said "everything owed to the victims or everything Infowars has" and this is the result.

The AI Snake Oil Book
What are "most of today's challenges"?

When I look back over my career, I mostly see increasing levels of abstraction for basically the same set of tasks: here's a database, make a UI to interface with it — sometimes the "database" has been a custom file format or a REST API, but it's still a database.

That's not to say there's no other categories of work besides CRUD apps, of course there is, games and document editors are mostly coming up with interesting rules for transforming a state that's fairly easy to display or sonify, and the challenge was one of "make it faster" which often meant throwing away every abstraction above the hardware itself — but even then, before starting my degree I managed to put together a decent raster painting app with just Visual Basic, and I know that code was bad even by the standards I had at the end of the degree.

Knowing MVC and MVVM makes it easier to work with system libraries based on those architectures. But why did we ever get things like VIPER? All I had when working with that was stress — what should have taken one person a few days, took a team several weeks. When I've been given free rein to choose the right solution, going with the old one has more than once allowed me, alone, keep up with an entire team doing the same thing some other way on a different platform.

Even "just" reactive UI is an abstraction that most of us don't really need — which is why there's even a push for "vanilla" JavaScript.

So, what are today's challenges, that current abstractions we need to learn to work with each other are the solution?

Or did you mean abstractions such as "I can pretend my keyboard doesn't bounce when considering keypresses" and "I don't need to care about OSI levels 1-6 and barely need to think about level 7"?

From personal experience, it's ridiculously easy to get a compounded formulation from one of the telehealth suppliers, and it's cheap even though you can't submit it to insurance. I think I pay $200 and get two one month vials for it.

It's been marvelous for me, I was just over the edge into overweight, so no one would prescribe it for me, even though I had a borderline pre-diabetes A1C, and reactive hypoglycemia runs in my family.

My choices were gain another 10 pounds, or find a telehealth that wasn't bothered by not following the FDA rules so strictly. So that's what I did, I got a script from telahealth and now I'm smack dab in the middle of the healthy weight range (-24lb), haven't had a hypoglycemic incident since I started it, and as a bonus my IBS-D went away completely.

I've reduced my dose to the point that I'm at the dose you start out on, and that has let me keep my weight constant without losing more or gaining more. Plan to stay this way for a year and then see about titrating it even more until I'm off of it. I also followed their instructions and only titrated up when I wasn't seeing weightloss, so I never hit the highest dose, and kept my weight loss to .75-1.5 lb/week. Perfectly sustainable.

This has been miraculous, and something that multiple years of consistent dieting hasn't solved. And as a bonus, I can now do my strength training I love without feeling like I have to eat the house on the recovery day

> humans did

No. Not humans. One human.

> The discussion is about human intelligence in general (particularly applied to bright people) not about my own intelligence and its limitations.

OK, but if you're going to talk about human intelligence in general then you have to look at what humans do in general, and not what an extreme outlier like Curt Godel did as a singular event in human history.

> particularly applied to bright people

And how are you going to measure brightness?

> How will a computer prove such a thing?

I have no idea. (I was going to glibly say, "The same way that humans do", but one of the lessons of AI is that computers generally do not do things the same way that humans do. But that in no way stops them from doing the things that humans do.) But just because I don't know how they will do it in no way casts doubt on the near-certainty that they will do it, possibly even within my lifetime given current trends.

What difference does that make? But the answer is still clearly yes because the computer could simply emulate Carlsen's brain. A 10x speed advantage would surely be enough to win.

Then use the register keyword or just reword the standard to assume the register behavior if a variables address hasn't been taken.

The majority of useful optimizations can be kept in a "Sane C" with either code style changes (cache stuff in local vars to avoid aliasing for example) or with minor tweaks to the standard.

I wonder though if the more significant limitation for most people is the value placed on their time currently, so they seek to minimize travel and commute times (rather than minimizing for fuel costs). And if so, does will the rise of self-driving + EV paradoxically increase the number of miles someone is willing to sit behind the wheel in the coming decade?

I think the post is a bit disingenuous.

But about bandwidth, matrix multiplications happen mostly in cache and that has a lot more bandwidth than RAM. Blocks of the matrix are loaded to cache (explicitly in CUDA) and used multiple times there.

I'd exploit the better multi-level cache hierarchy in CPUs and make the code NUMA aware. But still I wouldn't bet against a recent GPU card.

The goal of punitive damages is to prevent the person from engaging in the illegal activity again.

If Jones stops spreading lies about this people, then perhaps you have an argument, and a smaller punitive judgement would be enough. But if he keeps going, then we can only conclude that the judgement wasn't enough.
The reason a lot of people are unhappy about this notion is that it doesn't really matter: Any Turing complete system can emulate any other Turing complete system, and an LLM can trivially be made to execute a Turing machine if you put a loop around it, which means that unless you can find evidence humans exceed Turing computability AGI is "just" a question of scaling and training.

It could still turn out to be intractable without a better architecture, but the notion that it might not be impossible makes a lot of people very upset, and the only way it can be impossible even for just an LLM with a loop bolted on is if human brains can compute functions outside the Turing computable set.
Many real world C programs have no UB.

What Rust attempts to achieve is the possibility of accidentally introducing UB by designing the language in away that makes it impossible to have UB when sticking to the safe subset.

It also possibly to make sure to ensure that C programs have no UB and this does not require any breaking features to C. It usually requires some refactoring the program.
Sure. So?
It's still popular, perhaps more ongoing than ever, but there are two things for the lessen public impact:

1) Security at a base level is much better than it was in the 2000s, and so it becomes more technically impressive to outline your exploits to your own personal CV. A "LOIC" DDoS attack, or a SQL injection are basic stuff now.

2) The media does not report on it, just as the times have changed in that they don't report on manifestos by publishing the text, or even mention that they exist except in extreme passing as a method to lessen people having access or knowledge of them to become "inspired", they don't report on them.

3) Corporations cover up any breaks in their security as soon as possible, a lot of corporations are built on security and they do everything they can to hide any attempts of security lapses.
I don't in the slightest bit disagree, just pointing out that they had discretion and it was still a choice.

I think both things can be true. A person can take the position that developing something which will be used to directly kill someone is wrong, and thus refuse such jobs. A person can also take the position that software itself is morally neutral, and how it is used is the choice of the user.

Both of these are perfectly valid lines of moral reasoning. Which one you choose is going to be a personal decision. Debating about which one is more "right" devolves into a philosophical discussion.

Just checked: looks like it does provide a full size pcie slot. My guess is that the intended use case is for developers testing compatibility. You could almost certainly plug in an nvme drive through an adapter to that full size slot (although booting from it would likely require a custom uboot build) but if you use up the one slot for storage, you can’t plug in any other peripherals to test.

It's amusing that the Mastodon creator is German, and PeerTube French, as the user experience on Mastodon can feel strikingly similar to dealing with the labyrinthine bureaucracy of European regulations.

On Mastodon, the fragmented network of servers and the need to grasp federation mechanics mirrors the intricate web of European policies, where navigating localized laws and cross-border harmonization can feel like wading through red tape.

Both present an ostensibly open and decentralized structure, promising freedom and community-led participation, yet are riddled with complexities that bewilder newcomers.

Sounds promising. I was looking at Tauri recently for an upcoming iOS/Android project but it doesn't seem mature enough. I will require bluetooth and with flutter I know how to go about it.
How do you, @jkelleyrtp, feel Dioxus would perform in terms of DX for a dev comfortable with flutter, react and rust but a bit of a novice with Xcode. Publishing for iOS just always seems such a hassle, but if I can't get the last step done the whole project is worthless.
With rsx, does Dioxus support more free-form layouts that are not the typical Gtk box in a box but more web-type layer over layer (i.e. absolute/static positioning in html or Flutter's Stack component)

Unless something is particularly unique with this HiFive revision you can use PCIe SSDs it just looks like this one is relatively lane starved and you'll need to eat the PCIe slot to do so (it's a x16 slot physically but only x4 in terms of actual wired lanes).
