I suspect that the best approach would be not to "get ahead", but rather see this realisation develop naturally and help it along the way. It's hard to get critical thinking if everything is already criticized before you even come.

This can work with your kids though but I don't know if it can be effectively scaled to a school class. Maybe on a few dedicated play/discovery sessions, not on a regular basis.

No major company directly states "We have created human-like intelligence," they intentionally use suggestive language that leads people to think AI is approaching human cognition. This helps with hype, investment, and PR.

ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967

ELIZA's creator, Weizenbaum, intended the program as a method to explore communication between humans and machines. He was surprised and shocked that some people, including Weizenbaum's secretary, attributed human-like feelings to the computer program. 60 years ago.

So as you can see, us humans are not too hard to fool with this.
If I remember correctly, there was this hypothesis that these things were covered by symbiotic algae so the idea is that they grew tall to increase the photosynthesis of their symbiotic organism (so kind of a giant lichen). But I can't find the source anymore, and I think that there isn't much evidence of any photobiont.
Do we know that they spend money on this or is that inferred?

I asked because the search you've linked to only seems to list relatively niche chess videos on one creator's account. And the videos themselves are also ad-supported. It's (at least) not impossible that the sponsorship association is not budgeted in the way that (I think) you infer.

Generic. For the Internet, more complex questions would have been "What are the potential benefits, what the potential risks, what will grow faster" etc. The problem is not the growth but what that growth means. For LLMs, the big clear question is "will they stop just being LLMs, and when will they". Progress is seen, but we seek a revolution.
I don't really think saying documentation exists says much when Apple is notorious for having documentation that's either borderline or downright useless. It's generally the norm that some random blog post from a decade ago is more useful than their documentation, and I say this from firsthand experience.

You're suggesting the robots can learn the routing algorithms and rules just by looking at a bunch of pictures?

Sure, maybe, given a super-massive amount of data.

I see it as the difference between "I want a photo-realistic portrait of a beagle" and "I want a photo-realistic portrait of my neighbor's beagle, Bob". The first one there's some general rules as to what makes something a 'beagle' so is not too hard while the second has specific constraints which can't be solved without a bunch of pictures of Bob.

To address the specific issue, an AI would have to learn the laws of physics (aka, "Bobness") from a bunch of pictures of, essentially, beagles in order to undertake the task at hand.
Even if buggy software has an impact on the buttom line, managers can continue pretending it doesn't and not allocate any budget to fix them. They assume bug fixes somehow will be squeezed in between the work they really value - new features or better completely new projects. Because creating something new (asking debelopers to create) is the easiest way for a manager to get a promotion. It was many years ago when I last seen a manager (with the power to set priorties and not just translate them form above) who pays more than a lip service to quality and cares about maintenance.
this is probably to make 18f self-funding rather than paying the actual infra provider a big premium
I realized it would be a bubble this xmas when I ran across a neighbor of mine walking their dog. I told them what I did and they immedately asked if I worked with AI, they were looking for AI programmers. No regard for details, or what field, just get me AI programmers.

He's a person with money and he wants AI programmers. I bet there are millions like him.

Don't get me wrong though, I do believe in a future with LLMs. But I believe they will become more and more specialized for specific tasks. The more general an AI is, the more it's likely to fail.
The Epicenter of Conspiracy Belief
Culturally you've been brought up with the idea that more money is the only measure of quality of life, through that lens I do understand your thinking but I believe you might need to reconsider if that even makes sense.

Making good money is necessary in the USA for one to feel free, without it you don't have freedom since almost everything in the USA revolves around money. When you experience freedom even from the need of making good money while still having a decent life you'll know true freedom.

Other parts of the developed world can deliver that, consuming is not the point after a certain level of comfort, more and bigger doesn't translate to a better life, it's just that in the USA it does.

You can live a very fulfilling life without having to worry about making more money to buy another car, to save for your kids' education, to save for medical emergencies, to access cultural experiences, etc. It's just a very different way of living, unfortunately Americans have been turned into hyperconsumers, your whole economy is designed around that idea and so the thought that life is more than purchases feels alien.
Probably because you don't have the same use-case as them... doing "code" is an "easy" use-case, but pondering on a humanities subject is much harder... you cannot "learn the structure" of humanities, you have to know the facts... and LLMs are bad at that

> I hardly think most (any?) democrats or their constituents are talking about affirmative action in this day and age.

In my state - WA - there's a prohibition on affirmative action written into the constitution (originally passed in a referendum in the 90s). Democrats have been talking of repealing or otherwise constraining it for ages, and in 2019, it culminated in another referendum:

https://ballotpedia.org/Washington_Initiative_1000,_Affirmat...

You can see who supported it in the linked article. It was an indirect initiative so it went to the legislature first, which voted it in as law along party lines. A veto referendum was then held, in which it was repealed:

https://ballotpedia.org/Washington_Referendum_88,_Vote_on_I-...

Again, you can look at the article for details on who supported and opposed it.

I can assure you that many people do remember this whole brouhaha and the names associated with it, at least the most prominent ones (like the Dem governor).

What is your opinion on Rosie the Rivoter?
My two cents: isn't this arrangement more of a continuation of the Marshall Plan? If the US did nothing, post-war Europe was likely to fall into the influence of the Soviet.

Now even the Soviet has dissolved, there's always the menace of Europe allying with Russia or China (from the US perspective). So it's worth to pay a premium to prevent your opponent from getting the same thing.
There wasn't any direct threat to Europe between 1990 and 2014, yet the US kept their bases there.

The US has been interested/involved in a number of conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa over the last few decades. Europe provides safe and friendly place to station military equipment nearby.

The problem is Agile. Not the way it was intended at some point, but the way it has become through Agile consultants and SAFe. Also the fact that it's become the default for any project and that Waterfall has become a bad word.

Companies abuse Agile so they don't have to plan or think about stuff anymore. In the past decade, I haven't worked in (or seen) a single team that had had more than 2 weeks of work prepared and designed. This leads to something build 4 weeks ago needing a massive refactor, because we only just realized we would be building something conflicting.

That refactor never happens though, because it takes too much time, so we just find a way to slap the new feature on top of the old one. That then leads to a spaghetti mess and every small change introduces a ton of (un)expected issues.

Sometimes I wish we could just think about stuff for a couple of months with a team of designers before actually starting a multi-year project.

Of course, this way of working is great when you don't know what you'll be building, in an innovative start-up that might pivot 8 times before finding product-market fit. But that's not what many of us in big corp and gov are doing, yet we're using the same process.

>exposures to mid-pregnancy ambient NO2 and PM10 were associated with nearly four-fold cumulative increased risk of persistent depression

I don't have access to the full paper, but Im very curious what kind of controls were utilized for this study. Granted, a specific mid pregnancy expsoure causing a 4 fold increase seems significant enough to be able to assign some causation. But some sneaky confounding factors are fun to puzzle on.

Maybe poorer mothers (also correlated with depression) have to work longer hours/multiple jobs (also correlated) in more heavily polluted environments. But that still wouldnt explain the effect only appearing mid pregnancy...

Regardless, I'm interested to see what the health of humanity looks like in the coming decades. Microplastics in the brain, smog in the lungs, heavy metals in the water, screens in front of our eyes all day. Fun times we live in
Blue-green algae have colonized fresh water and all moist spaces on the continents billions of years before the appearance of fungi and of the terrestrial green plants. They were accompanied by the ancestors of several groups of heterotrophic bacteria, e.g. Firmicutes and Actinobacteria (the Gram-positive bacteria), which had developed abilities like making spores that could survive dryness and be spread by wind, like also fungi would do later.

In fact, it is likely that blue-green algae have appeared for the first time on continents, either in fresh water or moist rocks, and only much later they have spread into marine environments, which had been previously dominated by anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria, which were oxidizing sulfur, iron or manganese, not water. The transition to oxidizing water is likely to have been necessary for the spreading of the blue-green algae on continents, where the fresh water had only a very small content of substances that could be oxidized unlike seawater, which at that time was rich in hydrogen sulfide and in Fe(II) and Mn(II) ions. When the blue-green algae have expanded back into the oceans, that must have been after the oxygenation of the atmosphere has modified the composition of the oceans, by precipitating most of the iron and manganese and oxidizing sulfide to sulfate, which would have deprived the anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria of their food.

Then, in the oceans, at some point in time a blue-green alga has become symbiotic with the ancestor of red algae and green algae, which have then dominated for many hundred million years the oceans, before the much later appearance of other phototrophic groups, like diatoms and brown algae. Multicellular red algae and green algae already existed in the oceans around one billion years ago, when no other multicellular eukaryotes existed.

When the fungi have appeared through a transition to a terrestrial lifestyle, that could happen only if on land they could find great amounts of dead living matter, which had been produced by blue-green algae. It is not known for sure whether fungi have appeared a long time before the first terrestrial green plants or about the same time, but it seems that already for the most ancient terrestrial green plants, symbioses with fungi that enhanced the absorptive capabilities of their roots have been important. For aquatic plants, roots had only a fixation function, not the function of absorbing nutrients, so perhaps symbiosis with some already existing terrestrial fungi might have been necessary, not optional, for the first terrestrial green plants, until better absorbing roots have evolved.

So for a long time in the history of the planet, the drier parts of the land would be barren, but wherever there was moisture you would find mats or crusts of blue-green algae, with associated heterotrophic bacteria and viruses.

Then, probably not earlier than the Cambrian, there would be also fungi, and even later the first moss-like terrestrial green plants would appear.

> Bash has a hook (cannot remember the name on my phone) that is called on every command.

trap 'echo "$BASH_COMMAND" >> ~/.bash_history_extra' DEBUG

this runs before commands, not after the whole command line (before prompt is displayed).

my personal bash history tweak suit is based on this.
with a load of complexity of course, because the DEBUG trap is also triggered before each PROMPT_COMMAND commands and on every simple command within the issued command line.
so the above example would record each command of a pipeline separately.

> Yes, they work and are still smoother and less glitchy than Windows 11, but they feel like software developed by people who don’t actually use that software

I would have to agree here (and Apple also don't seem to assess feedback for their GUI changes), but unfortunately this thread is already on a software quality meta tangent rather than listing individual annoyances so here's my short list in the hope actual bugs can be discussed:

- window focus management broken: when you minimize or close a window, another random window of that app you're closing the window of is put into front even when that window is minimized; or other completely unrelated apps get focus

- index/Spotlight not showing file locations (full paths) after searching; the fsck?

- gestures being introduced that do stuff that you hit inadvertently and leave you in a state where you don't know how to undo its effects such as the super-annoying "fullscreen" mode when dragging windows around or
pressing Command-F since Sequoia. Requires you to fscking
research how to leave fullscreen mode (while not as cringe as
Windows help "communities", the level of talking past another
is getting there, options being discussed that don't exist in Sequoia's Dock/Desktop settings)

- update or feature nagging (I don't care I could use my iPhone as a webcam right now, go away)

- sometimes difficult to find mouse pointer on large screens

- older problem but I know at least one person on the verge
of leaving Mac OS because of it after 20+ years of loyalty (or outright fanboyism tbh): in a German locale, you can't switch off PC gender-neutral language which is not only pushy and annoying but also space-inefficient as fsck

> Maybe some civilians are making bad decisions. Yes that’s probably true. But it’s still better than having some select few decide what is best for us.

So then what do you call it when people make bad decisions that are specifically about putting the charismatic "select few" in charge to decide what's best for us? Cuz that's kinda what the 2024 Republican platform basically is...

> OpenAI did similar things by focusing to the point of absurdity on 'safety' for what was basically a natural language search engine that has a habit of inventing nonsensical stuff.

The focus on safety, and the concept of "AI", preexisted the product. An LLM was just the thing they eventually made; it wasn't the thing they were hoping to make. They applied their existing beliefs to it anyway.

When I started using OS X, one of the biggest draws for me was first-class native keyboard shortcuts support that was consistently followed and applied by all apps (first party and otherwise). So you could be sure that a shortcut for search across all contexts (global) would work just as well as the shortcut for a contextual search within any app. No one writes great third-party native apps anymore and even Apple's own apps completely disregard this part of their heritage. Just try searching across the AppStore, Apple Music, and the legacy Finder.

For newer Apple apps, sometimes the keyboard shortcuts simply don't exist. I believe part of the problem here is the deprecation of AppleScript, which means there's no incentive to spend time on consistency, and the other part has to do with organizational indifference towards all the wonderful UX innovations from the past.

What Apple has successfully accomplished, in collaboration with other 'big tech' companies is drastically reducing user expectations from their software. I wouldn't completely blame the AppStore's forced race to the bottom for this alone. There is still a huge market for tasteful apps that cost more (even sometimes with obnoxious subscriptions), but if even Apple isn't leading by example, why waste time on it if you could just build another simple note-taking app.
