We are also hypermobile generally flexible robots that can run on the occasional pizza. That doesn’t mean we are anywhere near that level of performance.

Yes and I have to say I am using it less than I used to. My gut feeling is they have to be careful now and don’t slack, because I have been using generative AI for a while now and I am not seeing the major problems being tackled. I also see

I understand but agentic/learning general intelligence has not been shown to exist, except ourselves. I’d say this is like worrying about deadly quantum laser weapons that will consume the planet when we are still in the AK47 phase. Ed

I'm not sure they can keep claiming this without becoming concrete about it. Nuclear weapons are not nebulous, vague threats of diffuse nature. They literally burn the living flesh right off the face of the earth and they do it dramati

Mathematics, rationality, logic, "formal process". They are like talking about "threads", "file descriptors" and "inodes". Fancy abstractions, but what are they abstracting away precisely? What are th

How does that work? What’s the answer? Submarines certainly partake in whatever aspects of swimming are responsible for traveling in or under water.

Rationality’s building blocks are themselves not rational. I don’t know where this idea came from that logical thought somehow springs into life fully formed at once. Logos? I find it more helpful to think of human thought as consisting of

Ever met a three year old? It’s a complete mystery the human race survived this state of complete suicidal insanity. For all their beauty and cuteness I would be careful with claims of intelligence. It’s very narrow and very specific. By ha

Lawyer uses completely new tech without so much as glancing over its properties and failure modes, also known as being completely incompetent. Breaking news: the results are not fantastic.

I actually think you have a point. Sure, it’s missing nuance and there are certainly things 2000s tech will not do properly, but to be honest I’m not quite hundred percent sure what the past two decades brought other than funky frameworks a

Ouch, 20 years? I sincerely hope so for their sake, but I wouldn’t bet 10 dollars on it.

You accept 5% complexity to completely drop all the rest. “Bundlers”? Please. I know that from a webdev bubble it seems the world is made of JS - I should rather say “and its various frameworks” - but that is not the case. There are lots of

That’s a bubble. You are in a bubble. React is dominant, sure, like the US is dominant, but it’s not The World.

That’s just you. I find the apple thing obvious on first sight and cements an intuition that talk of vectors does not or differently. Why choose?

I don't know how AI regulation will work, but wouldn't it be feasible to restrict regulation to usage in specific domains? Like how you can regulate software used in finance, health care and others but you can't just restrict

I don't think separating "trivia" from the "fundamental realities" is as easy as we hope it is. I have a very hard time convincing myself I could be as effective a programmer (and learner) without all the "triv

I think consulting might be a good fix for the poster's problem. Your behaviour will get corrected fast. I've seen so much bad code and so much mess. All made by nice - and not so nice - generally competent folks in varying circum

Ah, thank you. Interesting. This sounds like it would enable more complex systems. Is that the goal? The skeptic in me thinks these are fancy bandaids for failure to keep complexity under control. The optimist in me thinks this sounds like

Everyone I know started drinking at like 14/15. Same for sexual activity. We just start when we feel the need, not when we are “allowed”. Do these limits actually do anything? At some point you have to weigh the risks. Adults destroy

That’s a particularly hot take but I think it’s interesting. Lots of actual honest to goodness damage to the very fabric of society in recent years was done by adults using this tech, not adolescent girls. I understand Protecting The Childr

“My foundation has trained nearly 1700 people in the skilled trades.” Breaking news: someone with financial interest in something says something to further said interest.

If longhand sums take years to learn we are doing it wrong and/or doing it at the wrong stage. Laying foundations (counting, numerals) will take years sure, but they will be useful over various domains, but specific techniques shouldn’

Does it support my country’s unique AZERCQW layout with the parentheses on CtrShiftQ+8? Without that, it is a broken mess filled to the brim with showstopping UX failures.

It always seemed sensible to me that we are looking at a dreamlike construction all the time, not just holes filled in but literally everything you see is made up, but grounded in sensory data (when not psychotic or dreaming). This also n
