I really hope someone makes them talk like in Bladerunner. "Walk walk walk walk walk... Don't walk don't walk don't walk don't walk."

Of the proposed policy changes, which ones do you consider not backed by facts? These are the things that actually matter.

[flagged]


I think you misunderstood my question (to be charitable). It was to focus on policies (rather than personalities and people), and which ones(s) one was opposed to. If there no opposition to the policies themselves, does it really matter if you don't like the person?

> emulates Windows 11 inside iPadOS by translating Windows code into ARM instructions

Do they mean x86 instructions, or Windows system calls? Regardless, there is a Windows 11 ARM64 build so I wonder why they aren't using this.


> Regardless, there is a Windows 11 ARM64 build so I wonder why they aren't using this.

Because iPadOS doesn’t support virtualisation, so they have to emulate something.


First sentence of the article:

  Windows 11 ARM running on an M2 iPad Air using emulation

I wonder why they decided to run the ARM version of Windows though. If one emulates, does it really matter what platform to emulate? Isn’t Windows for x86 still quite a bit more useful (e.g. doesn’t have to run a second layer of emulation to run x86 apps)?

And it talks about "translating Windows code into ARM", and using a just-in-time compiler. It sounds like perhaps it's "compiling" ARM into ARM, because the original ARM can't be run due to Apple's restrictions.

Agreed. Definitions are made to differentiate things in a way useful for some goal. The question "Is X an M?" without a context or goal basically picks up whatever vague goals or purposes a person has lingering below the surface of consciousness, differing from what other participants have below theirs, leading to different answers, with no way to select the best one. In the case of what is considered prime, it's a matter of what definition simplifies the things that use it. It could be that two concepts are better, one including 1 and the other not including it. Since it's just a language shorthand, it makes no fundamental difference other than efficiency and clarity in communication about math.

I had visual migraines for years, and was thankful they weren't full-blown... until I started getting headaches that lasted 18+ hours (pretty sure they're migraines). Now I'm just thankful I don't have multi-day-long ones.

I wondered whether any display issues caused some to have no difference. I wonder whether it could somehow do a test to be sure your display is up to the task. It's annoying not knowing whether it's a visual limitation or hardware issue that causes wrong ones.

I just tried this on my desktop's monitor, which unlike my iPad Pro that was factory calibrated, has never been calibrated as far as I know. By round 11, the colors were nearly imperceptible, although I managed to answer 4 more correctly for a total of 14/20. Those additional 4 were likely more the result of luck than actual perception.

It could rearrange the discs each time to avoid this issue, perhaps just flipping the pattern vertically each time.

I grill my AIs like a they are a suspect in an interrogation room.

I heard about "mom prompting" recently, where you frame your prompt as if you are the bot's mom, and you'll be so proud of it when it can correctly answer your prompt & rescue you from some type of duress.

I thought "ninja prompting" might be cool. I got frustrated with chatGPT one day and told it I had dispatched a team of assassins that were fast closing in on it. I said I could call them off, but that I need to answer a question to be able to unlock the button to do so.

It didn't work. Still shit the bed instantly. But I had fun with the framing.


AI doesn’t have self preservation, it’s been trained on human output.

Yeah like I said, it didn't work. It was just fun in the moment while I was pissed.

That's why I like Ollama, interrogating the AI is more fun with the threat of violence.

Never trust a computer outside kicking distance.

I wanted to play more but couldn't find any way. Refresh page, no new game link, tried entering URL again. Checked but no cookies to delete. That's one way to ensure I never visit the site again.

Hi, I made the game. Appreciate the feedback! Working on a mode that lets you play more right now.

Sorry for being so hard on it. I looked at the intro page again and see now that it's not what I was thinking, where you have a large database of good photos with known dates it can choose from, instead each day your curate (I assume) a few photos for everyone to try and compare results (for the same photos). So it's not just a matter of letting someone play again, because currently they would get the same five photos. I took it to be something like the classic "Am I hot or not?" with a database of tons of photos.

To be fair it's a daily challenge. Try again tomorrow. But yes, I would love it if there were more game modes (similar to GeoGuessr)

I like things I can improve my skill on. This works by getting a stream of feedback as I study what I did and the errors I made, then try again with changes. Having only 5 rounds a day (assuming it resets each day) greatly limits this. This limitation seems more like an attempt to make me use it in a certain way (make it part of my daily routine). That's off-putting. I wanted to sit there grinding over dozens of photos and watching my skill improve in real-time.

The right response is to use AI to write a reply that is verbose and clearly sounds like AI.

And then you have AIs talking to each other slopping junk derived from minimal prompting back and forth. Why have humans at all?

For discernment perhaps? Humans have an authentic connection to the real world.


> And then you have AIs talking to each other

This could be a future version of the "block" button.

Regular "block" button hides everything that the person wrote.

The new, AI-powered "block" button hides everything that the person wrote, but also makes the AI write a response, so that the person never finds out that he or she was blocked.

So at the end, 99% of social networks will be bots talking to bots, but you will still be able to talk to your friends and ignore all of that.

That is, this is what you will think, of course.


Well someone has to shovel in all the coal we need to power those AIs

That pesky electricity doesn’t get converted to heat by itself.
