I read a short story once, maybe by Ted Chiang of Stories of Your Life fame which inspired Arrival, it talked about how there was a similar system for dating in their world, bots writing for other bots, that eventually the AI got so powerful that it knew who your soulmate was out of everyone in the world and it would tell you.

What the people in the story grappled with was, would you truly want to meet your supposed soulmate or would you want to exercise your free will to find them yourself, even if perhaps that were a suboptimal process?

Edit: the story was The Perfect Match by Ken Liu [0]

The bot is just a symptom of the weird social dynamics at play inside a dating app, where in a heterosexual environment, the women recieve an unmanageable number of messages and the men need to send/respond to an unmanageable number of messages in order for both parties to agree to meet up in real life.

Everyone agrees that most of the point of a dating app should be to figure out if real-life interaction is pleasant and agreeable, but for lots of reasons it's difficult to get to that point.
yeah, but without all those pesky "securities laws" and so on.

I like that RTO keeps my
job exclusive and I get paid more for being willing to come in and rub shoulders with management. I work for my family and to create a better life for them — not for some abstract goal of having the most productive environment (to enrich much larger shareholders than me). I paid a lot of money to live close to these places for work and now I’m reaping the benefit.

No pain no gain, basically.
I know these things about Mars and am still unconvinced. A fully independent manufacturing pipeline is completely nuts especially at the quality and quantity levels that we are used to. Many materials are not viable except as biproducts of other processes subsidized by the scale of Earth manufacturing. There is no magic wand that we can wave so that if we want it enough we can have it. If humans are indeed capable of such feats then they are capable of the much easier feat of Earth or Moon colonies. Might as well develop an independent manufacturing pipeline on Earth just practice because you wouldn't want to find out the hard way that a critical step doesn't work and it was all for naught. And if the alternative is to stockpile large quantities of chips or rare earth materials then how long are they expected to last, 100s of years?
This can be mostly mitigated with the right system prompt although I noticed occasionally the prompt will be ignored (~1/20).
I'm extremely skeptical for the value in this. I've already seen wasted hours responding to baseless claims that are lent credence by AI "reviews" of open source codebases. The claims would have happened before but these text generators know how to hallucinate in the correct verbiage to convince lay people and amateurs and are more annoying to deal with.

It’s called “getting old”. Seriously: your eye lenses lose the ability to adjust so there is no longer a “correct prescription” just frustration. I’m in my late 50s and it started almost exactly at 50.
AI is fundamentally much more of a danger to the fraudsters. Because they can only calibrate their obfuscation to today's tools. But the publications are set in stone and can be analyzed by tomorrow's tools. There are already startups going through old papers with modern tools to detect manipulation [0].

He absolutely does. Being the future king was a core part of his character, everything in his life was preparing him for it. The book version of Aragorn doesn't have the hesitance to accept his duty that the films portray, he doesn't have to be prodded into it: his whole life has revolved around his future kingship.

In a lot of ways the book Aragorn is just as superhuman as Gandalf is. He's an archetype, not a perspective character. The hobbits are the only normal humans.

The way people select a mate on dating apps is very different than how people judge potential mates when meeting them in real life.

Someone could be bad at texting and writing profiles but actually charming and a good fit to you when given the chance to have an actual date.

The idea so use a tool that helps you over the initial hurdle so you get a chance in the first place isn't that far fetched. Also speaking personally, I dislike texting and find dating apps a huge time waster, so automating the process sounds like a good idea.

I am not sure AI is the solution but the problem is real.

Here i can also add a story:

Last year, i recognized a lady who also exits the same metro & bus at the same station sometimes, so i was looking forward that i will see her again one day. This happened:
I have to note im somewhat above the average body height, as she is: id say she was around 1.89m, my own size - apart from the fact that i found her beautiful, i thought it would be somehow a "higher chance" to get to known her, since for tall women its actually not easy (if you are ~1.89m and you want someone who is at least the same size, 90%+ men are out!) and i "projected" that she may notice this.
So when i saw her leaving the bus, i spoke to her and invited here to a coffee - she looked at me completely confused like i was trying to rob her. (it was a "daylight situation" short after lunch)

Not required to say that she never called back after handing her my number :-)))
I found myself single in my late 30s after a long relationship ended.

Dipping my toe in the water with the apps was not an experience that I enjoyed. I met my ex online at a time when people didn’t admit they met online. That was a far better time for online dating.

What I know with absolute certainty is that adding AI to the pre-meeting process is exactly the opposite of what I want, especially if that means I’m not interacting with the real person.

I already have a strongly stated “if we’re both interested based on our profiles, let’s just meet for coffee ASAP” preference, and the best dates have been with people who felt the same way. Anything else (aside from maybe a video call) just means we’re both building images of each other that may not be real. People are very different in person in many cases. Add an AI in the middle, and this is even worse.

I wholly agree with the point that adding an AI layer is just taking an already suboptimal situation and making it immediately worse.

I can’t help but feel like this is a market ripe for disruption. If the big apps start featuring AI, I think this becomes even more true.
I've never seen this done in a research setting. Not sure about how much of a standard practice it is.
It's React thing. In maintenance context it's always better to not extract component instantiation. They could start to use hooks or they could be wrapped in conditions in a parent component and it would lead to severe quite hard to find issues.
You're right that this won't change the incentives for the dishonest researchers. Unfortunately there's not an equivalent of "short sellers" in research, people who are incentivized for finding fraud.

AI is definitely a good thing (TM) for those honest researchers.
Also, with all this power came a ton of interfaces, poorly defined and very hard to automate at times. Not to mention, they didn't always play nice with each other.

In any case, it doesn't matter now, Windows Server is on maintenance mode and Microsoft is clearly done except for cashing licensing checks. Linux is the (web) server future.

Unix got it right, text config, sighup the processes to pick up any config changes and away you go. Requires more work from Admins, much cleaner in the long run.

As I mentioned in my first reply, the firmware is expected to have complete knowledge of the address mapping of the system, and the OS isn't.

There are lots of ways for the firmware to convey information about the address map to the OS, but it may not always be complete. Mapping two devices to the same address is a recipe for trouble.

That's not to say an OS can't change these things. PCI/PCIe hotplug rely on the OS to set the BAR address for newly connected devices. And that may require rearranging existing device mappings so that things fit. And so, OSes that are capable of hotplug can often do address reallocation for all the devices, but firmware would need to have allocated the devices used to boot the OS already, and you may as well use those if they're there, right?
Before they started a war they were mainstream-acceptable in the USA. Henry Ford, Charles Couglin, Friends of New Germany etc. It can be argued the mainstream culture / value system doesn't reject Nazism because it's evil, but because they were "the enemy" in WW2.
I don't understand how they don't compose, from your example:

(X = A + B, Y = X + C, Y = A + B + C is false)

I understand that types aren't math values, but isn't the point of using a `+` to describe the communicative value of the type so that `(A + B) + C = A + B + C`?

> AT&T charged its customers a fixed percentage of its costs … from 3 years prior. The only way to make more profit was to make today’s costs cheaper than those of 3 years ago.

No, this still allows the standard method of increasing profits under a cost-plus structure: all it takes is increasing your costs. The more you spend, the better off you are. Doesn't matter what you get for your money.

With a three-year lag, you need to be able to pay your operating costs out of savings over a three-year window, but that's it. It's purely a cash-flow restriction.

By contrast, lowering your costs will make you a one-time cash bonus this year, at the cost of making you permanently poorer. This is not a sensible trade to make.
The only reason I disagree is that L&L jumps in with some very well established characters that had been built up earlier. But I do love his (historically accurate by lore?) description of elves. He put a lot of research into re-establishing the myths and lore of his little corner of the world.

(Along those lines I would also recommend Susanna Clarke’s “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norell” which builds its own parallel history set in the early 1800s Britain, with Fairies taking the same role as elves in discworld.

From the wikipedia article:
"As an example of where the paradox did not occur, large improvements in farming productivity (including the Third Agricultural Revolution) led to lower food prices but did not result in increased demand for food. (Demand for food is inelastic.) This instead led to lower employment in the farming sector, which declined from 40% of Americans in 1900 to less than 2% in 2024.[14]"

But generally, I don't see the relevance. Jevon's paradox is about lowered costs driving further demand; how does a non-browning banana lower the cost of bananas?

About four years ago I went to the Costco optometrist for a contact lens prescription. The O.D. said I was at the age where people start needing reading glasses, but I passed on those. It was the strongest prescription I'd ever had. After the appointment I put the contacts in the case and wore my weak glasses for the rest of the week. The day before the check appointment I put them back on my eyes - everything was crystal clear, but I couldn't read my phone.

The check appointment was with the practice's other O.D. I said the prescription would've been great for sniper shooting, but I just needed something to read the computer monitor. "You want an intermediate-range prescription." It was better, but still too strong. I used the curvature measurement to order my own prescription from one of the online contact stores. Three years later I upped my prescription by a quarter diopter.

Contact pro-tip: I use my contacts for 1.5 to 2x the rated time. Daily contacts can't be used for more than a day. 2 week contacts are good for at least 3 weeks. I've found my monthly contacts are good for at least 6 weeks. I've started using the hydrogen peroxide contact solutions: https://clearcaresolution.myalcon.com/

> even though your prescription is "correct"?

Most people have a range of prescriptions that they find acceptable. Some people's visual mechanism only 'likes' a specific prescription that might not correct them to 20/20. Developmental Optometry is a sub-specialty of optometry that considers more than acuity. This is a overview: https://www.theottoolbox.com/behavioral-optometrist-developm...

My contacts correct to 20/40 or 20/50, which are good enough for most tasks.

No. Good took the ring all the way to Mount Doom, resisting its Evil all the way up until the end, and then once more the Good person failed to destroy the Ring. Frodo stood at the precipice and took the Ring for himself.

The only way the Ring was destroyed was by accident when Gollum attacked Frodo to claim the Ring. The Evil that the ring stoked in the hearts of those it touched is what ended up destroying it in the end, not the Good people who took it to Mount Doom.

It's vaporware. This product doesn't exist thus the manufacture makes up claims. LPDDR5X is slower than GDDR7, no questions. 5090 has >1TB/s memory bandwidth, though only 32GiB of course.

That said, FP64 isn't the precision required for gaming. Again, this card at best is for HPC-type environments, not for the gaming desktop. It may be faster than the 5090 should it actually exist, but the 5090 and this card don't compete in the same space. Just the fact it has SODIMM slots should be telling enough that this isn't a high performance rasterization card.

Apart from the actual meat of the discussion, which is whether the GP's sigh is actually warranted, it's just frustrating to see everyone engage in such shallow expression. The one word comment could charitably be interpreted as thoughtful, in the sense that a lot of readers would take the time to understand their view-point, but I still think it should be discouraged as they could take some time to explain their thoughts more clearly. There shouldn't need to be a discussion on what they intended to convey.

That said, your "you're that experienced here and you didn't understand that" line really cheapens the quality of discourse here, too.

That would only be true if the total power envelope was same or lower, and that's not necessarily true. Just because your switch has a GbE port and you have a GbE NIC does not mean there's a full Gbit available for you at the remote end or even in your immediate network. The most common complaint from end-users moving up to 5G is that it's a "drainer" despite no change in personal usage pattern - and the "surprise" is that the Internet doesn't push content to you, you pull content from it.
