The problem, at least for me, is that it requires confidence and trust to give away what is root access to my system and my life and hope they don't intentionally or unintentionally abuse it (malware). I'm sure they are trustworthy people but I would be lying if I said it didn't fill me with anxiety.
it's only about usage. The Rules of the language. implementation does not matter, Cpython behaves same as IronPython or Jython or what-have-you - at least for this basic stuff.

if you use python in very procedural way, and never reuse things in time, then probably does not matter. But, thing is, python is not very procedural, and, most of the stuff happens and depends in time as well as in space/storage/memory. And those rules draw the boundaries which is where and when, and why.

One weird way of looking at these maybe that "variables" - i.e. names - are somewhat like attributes of some superficial "instance" called namespace, with leaner syntax; but with different behavior than plain attributes on things (btw those are quite deep). And there no other ways to access and juggle values/things - so one better knows them.

Read that chapter once. You may or may not grasp everything (and don't need to). Then forget about it. Next time you step on weird error of some xyz being 4 when it was assigned 67, re-read it. Repeat..
Anilist let's you switch your rating system. You can do 5 stars, 10 points, 100 points or a simple 3 points reprrsented with emojis. I quite like the idea, although I think it makes it a little more complicated to calculate ratings for all people.
Based on history, ivy schools have substantially increased enrollment to bolster endowment, so it seems that's the track they're taking.
Cool project but why use an LLM for this?

Recommendation systems exist well before LLMs and have been in use for a while, wouldn't it better and more efficient even?
That was way back, things are a lot better now than they were 15 years ago. Anyway, I got by quite far never assuming sizes with hacks like `height: 0; padding: 100%;` etc. But that kind of stuff is almost never needed today to get good results.

> Is this an arbitrage opportunity? What's the best way to harness this concentration of energy?

Here is a profitable idea.

Make a group decision and choose a target profitable SaaS company or startup of your choice, replicate it with AI and race the target SaaS company to near zero in pricing and sell your services as the cheapest offering to SMEs and enterprises (assuming you guys have experience in this area)

Keep it running or sell it to another business and the collective reaps the profits once the target SaaS company is dead or is unable to compete.

Repeat for all or any companies or startups that you wish should not exist or that laid you off in the past
It feels really weird to say that Roger Penrose is being dumb.

It's accurate. But it feels really weird.

It's not uncommon for great scientists to be totally out of their depth even in nearby fields, and not realize it. But this isn't the hard part of either computability or philosophy of mind.
Not every fact is computable. We are not Turing machines.
Thank you for this site. It helped me learn Perl and use it to make some cool CGI scripts.
I wonder if the author of this considered using luanti (formerly minetest) as the engine, would have maybe saved some work? https://content.luanti.org/

Fervo's initial demonstration project was next to an existing power plant in Nevada which previously failed to produce at it's stated capacity over time (Battle Mountain) so they were able to tie in extra MWt capacity to an existing ORC turbine. Fervo's technology has to be located somewhat near existing traditional hydrothermal geothermal resources because it's the convection along an exiting fault for hundreds of thousands of years that produces an above background thermal gradient near enough to the surface for it to be economical. That is true for their demonstration area in Utah which is located near the existing Blundel geothermal power plant in Milford Utah.

That's a good idea. Schools should give an "overview" of potential career paths and teach some basic skills.

I don't think it makes sense to teach students how to use metalworking lathes, but giving people basic proficiency with hand tools and less dangerous power tools would be great.

It can also be used to teach about power tool safety. I can't believe some of the dangerous stuff people do with angle grinders.
cartels in Colombia, not Mexico

> the Ombudsman’s Office, an agency of Colombia’s Public Ministry, highlights the presence and the areas of operations of three of the strongest Mexican drug cartels: the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Los Zetas, and the Sinaloa Cartel.. there is a belief among foreign consumers that Colombian drugs are of high quality, so the narcos capitalize on that.

Douglas Adams was onto something when he decided the superintelligent servant in Hitchhikers Guide was to loudly complain about its endless depression. Maybe then we’ll only ask things of it when we actually need it and otherwise avoid interaction.
Exactly! These old websites from the 90s that are still alive carry such a powerful dose of nostalgia. I wrote and published my first public website on GeoCities. Sadly, that's lose to time. The second one I wrote was published on 20m.com which offered 20 MB of free hosting space and a custom subdomain. That was more than 20 years ago. Incredibly 20m.com and that silly website of mine are still online: <http://encoders.20m.com/>!

If you scroll down, you'll find the obligatory visitor count on the sidebar. That's still running too! You can't see in the published HTML but that visitor counter is generated by an ISML tag.

It's fascinating how some forgotten corners of the web are still quietly running, long after the rest of the Internet has moved on.

Obviously goggle is making us dumber, and goggle maps are reducing people's ability to navigate physical reality autonomously.

Is this bad? For goggle shareholders, this isn't a side effect, it's the point. Of course someone who profits from the phenomenon wants people to be more dependent, not less.
It's obvious, isn't it? The average Hacker News user, who has converged to the average Internet user, wants exactly that experience. LLMs are pretty good tools but perhaps they shouldn't be made available to others. People like me can use them but others seem to be killed when making contact. I think it's fine to restrict access to the elite. We don't let just anyone fly a fighter jet. Perhaps the average HN user should be protected from LLM interactions.
It could be that spending other peoples money is really easy and really wasteful.
Programmers will generally not put UB into code. They will create unsafe code that risks having UB to get optimal speed. This is also what Rust programmers often use unsafe for from the code I have been looking at.

My take is for young women there are a bunch of real economic and social benefits to women that go to college and so they do.

The oldest of them is you go to college to meet men. It's the old 19th century reason. Send your daughter to college and next thing you know she's engaged to her roommates older brother a son of a wealthy industrialist.

Don't discount four years of college is four years of not being under anyones thumb.

College educated women have high social status. And job opportunities that don't involve gross low end work normally done by women.
This is a very tangential. I did some work in Trinary computer emulation a lifetime ago, there's a cute trick for finding a closed form translation between a division by a power of 3, and series of bit shifts and additions.

Start by observing that

1/3 - 1/2 = 2/6 - 3/6

or

1/3 = 1/2 - 1/2 (1/3)

Substitute equation above into RHS an infinite number of times and find

1/3 = -(-1/2)^N for N in 1..inf

You can do this with arbitrary pairs powers of 2 and 3 (also other bases).

The implication is that you can fairly easily build a fixed time divide-by-constant circuit as out of nothing but adders and subtractors for values that are close to a power of two.
The way to do this while avoiding race conditions seems to be `Arc::into_inner` or `Arc::get_mut`; for instance, the docs for `Arc::try_unwrap` mention a possible race condition, and recommend using `Arc::into_inner` to avoid it: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/struct.Arc.html#method.tr...
This. Maybe even more than 99% of the time you are fine. It's okay to struggle a day with a rare problem every now and then. Just don't be scared of it. There are enough resources out there to research them when you need them.

Where I still get nervous is when I force push my branch after a rebase, even if I know I am the only one working on it. But this is also one of these examples. If I remember correctly, there are other options to sync your remote after you did a rebase, but force push is just the easiest. So I rather take 5 seconds to make sure I typed exactly what I wanted and that everything is fine and that just works.

Edit: I was just brainstorming a bit about it and thought that probably some of the unknown magic git features were just implemented by a motivated dev that just wanted to explore what's possible. But on the other hand, there are most likely some very very obscure configurations and edge cases in the wild where people actually need those features. But most people will likely never need them, so I myself won't bother understanding "everything"

I haven't looked into it too deep if I'm honest, I built this app solely because I find LLM TV and Movie recommendations to be leaps and bounds better than any other recommendation service I've ever used, I find most of them terrible unfortunately.

I just got tired of manually inputting the data and wanted a more automated approach. This recommendations system isn't extracting loads of data yet (like how often things are watched etc..) but instead a more birds eye view of your library and watch history to analyze.
Maybe things are artificially less expensive because of the exploitation of critically poor people (slaves in China)?

Maybe the thing that costs $7 is really $7 because humane labor requires it; makes it economical.

OP didn't put much effort into writing the code so I'm certainly not putting in much effort into a proper review of it, for no benefit to me no less. I just wanted to see what quality AI gets you, and made a comment about it.

I'm pretty sure the code not having the "if (…) lexer->line++" in places is just a plain simple repeated bug that'll result in wrong line numbers for certain inputs.

And human-wise I'd say the simple way to not have made that bug would've been to make/change abstractions upon the second or so time writing "if (…) lexer->line++" such that it takes effort to do it incorrectly, whereas the linked code allows getting it wrong by default with no indication that there's a thing to be gotten wrong. Point being that bad abstractions are not just a maintenance nightmare, but also makes doing code review (which is extra important with LLM code) harder.
You do you. We are not the legal entities who are the ones that will decide the final understanding of those legal words.

If anyone thinks Firefox processes the data with "nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license" outside of "the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox" like in scenario 1 (the Privacy Notice), I would like to learn about which codes in Firefox that do that. It would be really useful as well if there would be legal disputes in court to Mozilla that could clarify these things.

No one wants a terms of service like that, of course, because we all agree implicitly that the softwares do what we input in it. However, not all lawyers or legals are "we", many of them always want things interpreted explicitly to make those activities "clearer" for their jobs when legal confrontations happen. Like Epic founder said:

> The license says that when you type stuff, the program can use the stuff you typed to do the thing you asked it to do. This is what programs ordinarily do, but nowadays lawyers tend to advise companies to say it explicitly.

This is not a good design. You've introduced representable invalid states (Flavor=Vanilla, Other flavor="DarkChocolate").

At the least you want this...

enum Flavor {
Chocolate,
Banana,
Strawberry,
Other(String),
}

But that's not right either. What you really want is

#[non_exhaustive]
enum Flavor {
Chocolate,
Banana,
Strawberry,
}

impl ToString for Flavor ...

Rather than verifying the science the machine performs, this project seems to be about verifying the machine's integrity instead. I worry that without heavy disclaimers, this may mislead people about the character of the improvement this solution provides, which is dangerous in its own right. From what I understand, verifiable imaging as a whole suffers from this too.

And you are correct, there's just one. The additional 's' was meant to mean "and others very much like him".
he starts with "consciousnes is not computable". You can not just ignore it as a central argument withouth explaining why your preference to think on it as basic computability theory makes more sence than his.

What's more, whatever you like to call the transoforming of information into thinked information by definition can not be a (mathematical) function, because it would require all people to process the same information in the same way and this is plainly false
OK, try this for size, bearing in mind that it is a heuristic argument.

No one can "know", with certainty, the location of any particle. Or, to be slightly more accurate, the more we know of its location, the less we know of its movement. This is essentially Heisenberg/QM 101.

But we see the results of "computation" all around us, all the time: Any time a chemical or physical reaction settles to an observable result, whether observed by one of us, that is, a human, or another physical entity, like a tree, a squirrel, a star, etc. This is essentially a combination of Rovelli's Relational QM and the viewing of QM through an information centric lens.

In other words, we can and do have solid reality at a macro level without ever having detailed knowledge (whatever that might mean) at a micro/nano/femto level.

Having said that, I read your comment as implying that "the human mind" (in quotes because that is not a well defined concept, at least not herein; if we can agree on an operational definition, we may be able to go quite far) is somehow disconnected from physical reality, that is, that you are suggesting a dualist position, in which we have physics and physical chemistry and everything we get from them, e.g., genetics, neurophysiology, etc., all based ultimately on QM, and we have "consciousness" or "the mind" as somehow being outside/above all of that.

I have no problem with that suggestion. I don't buy it, and am mostly a reductionist at heart, so to speak, but I have no problem with it.

What I'd like to see in support of that position would be repeatable, testable statements as to how this "outside/above" "thing" somehow interacts with the physical substrate of our biological lives.

Preferably without reference to the numinous, the ephemeral, or the magical.

Honestly, I really would like to see this. It would represent one of the greatest advances in knowledge in human history.

> Maybe another aspect missing from schools lacking shop is the sense that you're trustworthy enough to put in front of a potentially lethal machine, a little bit of self worth goes a long way.

I have the distinct memory of this thought crossing my mind during orientation in shop classes. The instructor gave us the rundown of how to be safe and then he actually let us use cool machines without hovering around us every second of the period! The trust involved in that exercise was immense, and even kids who were the class clowns in other classes rose to the occasion and were responsible in shop class.

I can only imagine how important this kind of experience would be for today's kids of the helicopter generation, many of whom would be receiving this type of trust to handle danger like an adult for perhaps the first time in their lives.

oh hell yes. And oh yes iframes and postmessages, of course people would setup them incorrectly and even if they do some (probably not that important but still) data will leak if you're creative enough. Thanks for the link!
Ah, thanks, I wasn’t aware of these two “default” variants in Swift.
From where do those serialised thoughts arise?
It's important to remember that no matter what they write in the agreement, they can will still be sued, and they can and may still be found at fault. So the utility of edge case disclaimers are questionable at best, and indicate 'evil' intent at worst.
Deciding an undecidable problem is well, undecidable. But describing it is clearly not. Otherwise we would not have been able to write about it.
I feel like a movie can be a good time, but I wouldn't rewatch it.

For example, I just watched the Gorge. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't rewatch it. I don't think it necessarily deserves a bad grade though.

Now, some great movies I wouldn't rewatch. La vita e bella and grave of the firefly are beautiful, I just cannot rewatch them.

It's definitely a limited metric tho.

The Differences Between Deep Research, Deep Research, and Deep Research
From the article:

> Currently, packets are not being encrypted within the UDP tunnel so packet sniffing over the internet is possible. It is encouraged to use this over a protocol like SSH

No encryption takes the P out of VPN. Also, if you are going to need SSH to make it secure, then you can just use OpenSSH's built-in support for the tun device using the -w option.
Just wanted to point out that I absolutely share your view here. I would like to add that the concept of virtualization and the required representation of computation makes substrate-independent consciousness rather absurd.

To me the only explanation for consciousness I find appealing is panprotopsychism.
Sure, it's possible that the code it gave me was based on some incorrectly written code it scraped from Gitlab or something.

I'm not a luddite, I'm perfectly fine with people using AI for writing code. The only thing that really concerns me is that it has the potential to generate a ton of shitty code that doesn't look shitty, creating a lot of surface area for debugging.

Prior to AI, the quantity of crappy code that could be generated was basically limited by the speed in which a human could write it, but now there's really no limit.

Again, just to reiterate, this isn't "old man yells at cloud". I think AI is pretty cool, I use it all the time, I don't even have a problem with people generating large quantities of code, it's just something we have to be a bit more weary of.
I'm not sure I understand your criticism. Are you arguing that I'm holding Mozilla to an unfair standard, or other users? I don't pretend to have any moral high ground about what I use versus other people; I just don't personally find the argument that using a fork of Firefox right now is a "marketing tarpit" to be compelling enough to convince me to change my mind about it.
