If you think the premise and conclusion of Op's statement form a tautology then you agree with him strongly.

From the title alone I was going to comment that these tools we build are not about not procrastinating but about chasing some illusionary productivity.

My own examples

- Instead of learning a language, I can write a tool that generates flashcards for me from books I'm reading, surely that's better than "actually" reading a book

- Instead of using my morning willpower to hit the gym, surely a dashboard that shows me how many reps I did per week, with graphs of my progressions will get me better gains ... someday.

The fact you called it ProductivityProxy seems like we are on the same page.

The UK doesn't support cigarettes, so the law gets passed. If someone has a public opinion poll there showing less than 50% support for this, I'd love to see it.

Isn't the impetus on the makers of this bill to show there is more than 50% support for this.

I'm not a fan of smoking but this isn't the governments job imo. Not to mention the odd precedent of do what I say not as I do, with different laws for different generations.

ChatGPT initially responded that the earnout would be “difficult to cancel” but later at ChatGPT’s suggestion Kim formed an internal taskforce, dubbed Project X.

Anyone know how they got access to his conversation with ChatGPT? Can the court order the transcripts for a particular user, or was this leaked more conventionally - e.g. a coworker / hack?

The new solution is better. It’s so good we must get all the big players to mandate its usage.

If ur making an appeal on a forum like this u could have gone with ur favorite feature, or anything else really.

I think reparations could be spent as they see fit. Reconstruction implies the money is going to exactly that.

But I agree it's a weird nitpick at this stage, as it seems almost impossible to verify once in place

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

I have a hard time interpreting that as what geohotz is saying. If anything it seems to promote rent seekers by telling you - stick to your lane and don't complain. I.e. the caste system

If there is a 15 move sequence that leads to a guaranteed win, stockfish would not call it a 1 pawn advantage (given the sufficient calculation time) instead calling it a won position.

I think you may be mistaking your understanding of stockfish as shallow in that regard.

Where the big differences might emerge is in strategic mid game positions without any clear tactics or forcing moves. There lc0 can somehow "feel" that a position seems better.

Eh, this is the kind of pithy soundbite that sounds vaguely deep and intelligent but doesn't hold up.

In what domains have you had experience taking non programmers with domain knowledge and making them programmers?

for what it's worth, it didn't seem odd to me. I guess the missing article and phrase indicate it's a verb.

"So AI can ... developers" is begging for a verb, there is no room for an adjective there.

Sorry but as a southern Neighbor you are painting a picture of Europe 20 years ago.

Taxes these days keep up the ponzi scheme of european pensions and an influx of low skilled migrants that are not incentivized to work.

There is a a lot of budget between ur citizens not going bankrupt when they get sick and taking 50% of their salary.

OP's point (imo valid) relates to the private sphere, and how we as normal humans are more afraid of outing our sexual fears/desires because of the possibility of them being amplified on the internet.

And you somehow think that millions of men masturbating to a few onlyfans accounts is a counterargument to show everything is actually fine

He didn't even realize (and apparently doesn't care) that portions of the code were attributed to another author.

Here's my question: why did the files that you submitted name Mark Shinwell as the author?

Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it.

---

Maybe he is having some kind of mental episode, is trolling, or genuinely doesn't care. But I would hardly hold this up as an example of an intelligent attempt at an AI generated PR.

Likely.

But the fact the last few iterations have all been about flair, it seems we are witnessing the regression of OpenAI into the typical fiefdom of product owners.

Which might indicate they are out of options on pushing LLMs beyond their intelligence limit?

This new package is about "removing regulation", specifically GDPR.

Which let's be honest has not achieved its intended target. Google/Apple/etc can easily afford to break GDPR and get caught up in fines while as a small business owner it was a huge and complicated liability.

ofc politico will frame this as a negative, it seems their only mission is to make moloch grow.

you don't mean that all C programs have memory bugs

Well all of them "potentially" do, which is enough from a security standpoint

There have been enough zero days using memory leaks that we know the percentage is also non trivial.

So yes, if programmers can write bugs they will, google SREs were the first to famously measure bugs per release as a metric instead of the old fashioned (and naive) "we aren't gonna write any more bugs"

I was questioning if OP was a karma farming bot, have a look at their profile. It's a lot of these odd one liner questions.

From the perspective of a useful thread, I agree with you
