It's an interesting world where both things can be true: 1 AI surpassing humans even in PhD level tasks in a couple of years and 2 current AI not being able to successfully play a childrens game.

One way to square that is that AIs have a big memory advantage that allows them to store and access information much faster than humans. However they still lack visual understanding and some forms of reasoning and live learning.

Pokemon doesn't require PhD level knowledge and rather just all the other qualities that make up intelligence.

Now if the big labs make progress on visual reasoning etc. the moment AI can solve Pokemon it might be able to solve everything else as well.

Ah, yes - we are pulling from the tag on GH. However, I believe the hard dependency on the older version of gun was fixed recently. IIRC, that was what prevented a proper package at the latest version from being on hex.
But can they drive as aggressively as human drivers can? (which does probably increase accident rates a bit, but also can make rides 10-20% faster, especially if executed by an automated system that needs less safety margin)

1. Go as fast as possible without getting fines, violating speed limits whenever it's very likely to not be fined, doing maximum acceleration as needed (the latter configurable by the latter)

2. When there's congestion on the lane they need to take, take a free lane instead and then merge into the correct lane at the last possible opportunity, effectively skipping the queue

3. Run red lights when it can determine there is no enforcement camera on the traffic light, no police and no traffic

4. Aggressively do not yield to pedestrians unless unavoidable on crosswalks, swerving on the lane going the opposite direction as needed if pedestrians are on the side the vehicle is in

5. Aggressively pass slower drivers using opposite-direction lanes even when forbidden as long as the software can determine that it can reenter the lane before colliding with incoming traffic

6. Use barred parts of the road including sidewalks to bypass traffic when it's feasible to do so

7. Aggressively flash lights and tailgate on highways when on the fastest lane but behind a slower vehicle

8. When an emergency vehicle passes by, follow it closely to take advantage of its right of way

9. Aggressively do U-turns even when forbidden if it is determined to be possible

10. Ignore stop signs when it can see there is no traffic, and when it can't determine that plan to do maximal braking at the last moment if it sees any (the maximum braking needs to be rider configurable)
Did you miss the post a few above yours, where an author of this tool explained why it’s written in Perl? Introducing a new language dependency for a build, especially of an OS, is not something you undertake lightly.
The scale of each map is independent, and differs by an order of magnitude from the "lonely" top row to the "not lonely" bottom row.

A charitable view would be that they consider each category independent.

Another charitable view would be that they're focused on showing trends, not "absolute value of loneliness", and that you can view the order of maps Always-Usually-Rarely-Never to be an additional dimension. This would have better fit a linear layout, but as they note in the caption, a fifth map "wouldn't fit"; they are constrained by article layout.

If you think the WP is simply trying to push the premise of the article, that there is a "Loneliness Epidemic", then you may enjoy the book `How to Lie with Maps` by Monmonier:

I love CSV when it's only me creating/using the CSV. It's a very useful spreadsheet/table interchange format.

But god help you if you have to accept CSVs from random people/places, or there's even minor corruption. Now you need an ELT pipeline and manual fix-ups. A real standard is way better for working with disparate groups.
Sure, that's great if everyone is on speaking terms and able to have a civil, rational discussion about the subject. But that isn't the reality in many families.
How is stocking shelves more fulfilling than being a cashier? Cashiers at least interact and talk with people.

I have nothing against people using self-checkout, but making it sound like you're doing something good for people seems absurd and is only there to make oneself feel better when, in reality, jobs WILL be lost because of it. No need to sugarcoat it.

I've been personally surprised that this doesn't come up more often. Most mature codebases span a decade or more, and especially in the web, there's so many layers of evolving technologies that were introduced during this time, resulting in complex geological layers forming in the codebase as the patterns evolved. That is not only a lot of lines of code, but a lot of nuance as well. Even a basic problem like routing can make these AIs fall flat on their face because of the sheer context and complexities involved

Seems it is a story time thread. Here goes my strangest one.

Back in 2005, when I had only paid-by-cash internet cafe access to computer, one of the shopkeeper offered me free time on computer IF I typed and ran a 15 page of class 12 computer project printed on A4 sheets, onto the compiler. TurboC++. I gladly accepted the offer and typed things.

When I finished typing, taking out all the compile error, the program didn't work as expected. Few hours latter, I find out that 1 or 2 pages of printed source codes were not in original order. :-O . So had to swap code from one function to another to finally get it working. That was one hell of a lesson!

Shopkeeper must have sold that project to many students, and I got some Free internet access.
But it worked 20 years ago. That's the issue. We didn't get worse at driving and (apparently...) we didn't get poorer over the last few decades to pay for stuff.

Cost of living from the fallout of '08 simply skyrocketed and most of the country didn't not increase compensation to make up for that. Despite that company simply charged more while cutting costs at the same time. So the driver and the customer lost out.

Worst debugging issues are always things I can't access directly, on top of being rare.

Think network appliance in the middle that don't log or not at the level you need (and sometimes they can't log what you need).

Those usually mean that no reproduction is possible, except in production or very close to it, with tools you don't always control.

Annoying ones are those of "This http request is sometimes slow", and chasing each boxes in the middle shows a new box that is supposed to be transparent but isn't, or some rare timing issues due to boxes interacting in a funny way.

auto is a historic artifact for porting code from the B language to C, when everything was implicitly int but int did not exist yet. It had absolutely no use afterwards, which is why it was repurposed in C++ as well. In C23 this is done because it is very useful in combination with typeof() in macros, which is a far cry from SFINAE terrorism in C++

that's literally every single paper in academic CS (except theory). every claim is an exaggeration or lie by omission ("this only works on a small subset of ..."). every title is clickbait. every impl is worse than junior-level code. you become so jaded to it that you start to evaluate papers/projects based a premonition of what it could be rather than what it is.
The Microsoft story - I think it's due to the gradual split between Microsoft and OpenAI. Google and Meta leased the abandoned Microsoft data centers promptly.

Totally agree with this point. Software engineering will adapt to work better with LLMs. It will influence how we think about programming language design, as an interface to human readers/writers as well as for machines to "understand", generate, and refine.

There was a recent article about how LLMs will stifle innovation due to its cutoff point, where it's more productive using older or more mature frameworks and libraries whose documentation is part of the training data. I'm already seeing how this is affecting technical decisions at companies. But then again, it's similar to how such decisions are often made to maximize the labor pool, for example, choosing a more popular language due to availability of experts.

One thing I hope for is that we'll see more emphasis on thorough and precisely worded documentation. Similarly with API design and user interfaces in general, possibly leading to improvements in accessibility also.

Another aspect I think about is the recursive cycle of LLM-generated code and documentation being consumed by future LLMs, influencing what kinds of new frameworks and libraries may emerge that are particularly suited for this new kind of programming, purely AI or human/AI symbiosis.
Meh, it’s just trivial keyword substitution; not very interesting. `użyj std::zbiory::Słownik;` doesn’t sound right: we’d expect a genitive here.

I'm pretty positive about the ability to subdivide and build smaller.

But pushing this as a "friend compound" law is super weird. Are there really that many people who want a friend compound for their primary residence? Personally, I'd be hard pressed to think of more than 1-2 other couples with whom I'd want to co-develop property and even then only for a vacation home, not my regular house.
I have made a lengthy comment about why I dislike C23. I cannot find it right now, but yeah, mainly because it is kind of turning into C++ and I do not like that, that is why I will continue sticking to C99. The earlier version of the book is great for that.
I agree that what ai music needs to become an industry tool is the ability to create, access and remix parts, but I think tools like Suno have more of the right idea vs tools like this. In order to be able to write intermediate parts properly, you need to be able to understand the whole and what things should sound like when put together, or when the notes are actually played by a musician. Then it’s easier to work back from there, split your tracks apart into stems, transcribe your stems into MIDI, etc.

Suno et al are moving in this direction but I honestly think development will be somewhat stunted until we get a good open source model(s), and something like control-nets.
Do you see signs of Africa undergoing the developmental transformation we’ve seen in past decades in places like China and Vietnam? I’ve been expecting it for a while.
Parquet should get the praise. It's simply awesome.

How is it better to not look into or share such information when we know that a vast army of assholes are doing the same thing for nefarious purposes?

Yes, they might not spot it themselves, but we know that in practice they often do and the results are horrible. If we stop looking then they will definitely be the first to find vulnerabilities - as it is they are only sometimes the first (and the vulnerabilities they find are likely to be the lesser appalling ones).

Privately sharing the issue with the authors lets them fix it in a timely way, publicly announcing the issue after a reasonable period of time incentivises them to do so - corporate authors often won't bother unless their arms are twisted.

If those black-hat hackers were not really out there then I might agree with you, but they are, and they don't care that we don't like it.
Also most of the buyers prefer to buy from their preferred vendors. Good luck trying to get on that list. Your products will have to be priced at a fraction of your competitors for them to even evaluate you.

The money has to come from somewhere. Tuition doesn't cover the cost of operating those European public universities. Most of the cost is borne by taxpayers. More students would thus mean higher taxes.

To an extent this also applies in the USA. Public universities in most states have relatively low tuition (although still higher than their European equivalents) for in-state students. But they are unable to meet market demand, so many students take out loans to pay tuition at lower-tier private universities.
> And the best part for them, there is no repercussion for it. Everyone can turn around and publicly proclaim they just "did their job".

More than no repercussions; they all make a very good living from this. When Australia decides that they are going to ask to put him away for 10 years, they're saying that they're going to spend at least a million dollars on this incident. They know what happened, they know that it's a pointless expenditure, but they're still going to make it.

They're going to pay lawyers, use courtrooms and the time of judges, investigators and regular officers, all in the service of hopefully housing and feeding an unwilling adult for a decade. Triggered by a nerd importing an infinitesimal amount of plutonium for his nerd collection.

It will somehow be even more shameful when they go through all of this, and then the prosecutor drops the charges, or asks him to plead guilty for no time, no fine, and no record if not arrested for a similar thing outside of some time period. That will mean all of this was just makework.

My only conclusion is that either they don't have enough to do, or they are refusing to do things that are difficult. But either way this nonsense should be taken as an opportunity by management and the public which is currently highlighting government employees that it would be good to fire or replace. They don't have a problem with procedure, they have a problem with personnel.
It really isn't these days. Ordering tacos down the street has the exact same extra costs as me ordering Burger King across town. Same "service fee", same delivery fee, driver isn't tipped more or less (just the expected % of your order).

So when it really struggled to get around (kept just walking into obstacles), they gave Claude the ability to navigate by adding pathfinding and awareness of its position and map ID. However, it still struggles, particularly in open-ended areas.

This suggests a fundamental issue beyond just navigation. While accessing more RAM data or using external tools using said data could improve consistency or get it further, that approach reduces the extent to which Claude is independently playing and reasoning.

A more effective solution would enhance its decision-making without relying on direct RAM access or any kind of fine tuning. I'm sure it's possible.

There has to be a better approach, and also in a way that's not relying on reading values from RAM or any kind of fine tuning.
