There has been various modernization efforts in the past correct? I wonder why nothing has succeeded. Math has always been somehow very tied to keeping credit and personal achievement close to the "source" it feels. Conjectures always coming with names attached, or this symbol named after a whimsical stoke of a pen.


Someone compare the pollution to the average steel mill. The focus here is political and clickbait focused.


Possible it's in the training set then?


Authors note that this is probably the case:

> we wanted to verify whether the model is actually capable of reasoning by building a simulation for a much simpler game - Connect 4 (see 'llmc4.py'). > When asked to play Connect 4, all LLMs fail to do so, even at most basic level. This should not be the case, as the rules of the game are simpler and widely available.


Wouldn't there have to be historical matches to train on? Tons of chess games out there but doubt there are any connect 4 games. Is there even official notation for that?

My assumption is that chatgpt can play chess because it has studied the games rather than just reading the rules.


Good point, would be interesting to have one public dataset and one hidden as well, just to see how scores compare, to understand if any of it might actually have got to a dataset somewhere.


I'd be quite surprised if OpenAI took such a niche and small dataset into consideration. Then again...


I would assume it goes over all the public github codebases, but no clue if there's some sort of filtering for filetypes, sizes or amount of stars on a repo etc.


Zero interest rate policy.


The future of warfare does seem to be incredibly cheap autonomous (or nearly so) drones. I know Palmer Lucky's working on this, but his offering is still incredibly high priced...

Who's looking at this problem with the perspective that these should be 'ammo' and not 'aircraft'?


I don't see the relevance to hackers here. This is simple political commentary and belongs on /r/politics or whatever.


The #4 item on the front page right now is about black holes.


Homeschooling rarely breeds the nonconformity necessary for a healthy hacker culture. And that's what rises in a vacuum created by burning down the public school system.


A bit of a stretch to say that public schools breed nonconformity?


First article: "For no reason". Second article: "Mighta been the drugs."


And this course of events is certain why? Because you've stated so?


Yeah, I didn't say anything about it being certain. I was outlining why it was developed.


How about citizens of Seattle when the CHAZ was operating? Were they majority for that?


Considering that the CHAZ was in Capitol Hill, I assume the people in that neighborhood were supportive. As for the rest of us in Seattle, most of us never even visited or saw the place (how often does someone who doesn't live in Capitol Hill visit Capitol Hill?), so it was just something we would see on CNN if we were bothering to watch the news at all (it was cool to see FoxNews have some of our buildings burning down even if it wasn't true, their media narrative was pretty messed up).


I've got a friend who lives on Capitol Hill in Seattle. She hated it - it had all the negative effects of the convoy in Ottawa, about not being able to get where you want to go safely.

I suspect that's how it goes for most instances of protest or civil unrest - the apolitical people in the area hate it, because they're the ones you're inconveniencing to make a point, while distant folks' feelings are determined by whether the protesters are on their side.

What do you mean "it wasn't true" ? It was certainly true. People were formally charged for carrying out the act.

"According to the criminal complaint, DAVID-PITTS had arrived in Seattle from Alaska just three days before Monday’s protest. After marching with the group in downtown Seattle, DAVID-PITTS is seen on surveillance video piling up trash against the sally-port door at the Seattle Police East Precinct. Over an eleven minute period the surveillance video captures DAVID-PITTS not only piling up the trash, but repeatedly lighting it on fire and feeding the flames with more trash. While DAVID-PITTS was lighting the fire, other people who appeared on the surveillance were attempting to use crowbars and cement-like materials to try to disable the door next to the sally-port to prevent officers from exiting the building" https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/alaska-man-charged-fede...


It didn’t really affect anyone who wasn’t on tv. I’d only think about it when a friend from out of state would ask what it’s like.

The BLM marches closed freeways once in a while but it’s hard to make I5 noticeably worse. I’ve sat in longer backups more frequently in Seattle due to drunk drivers in Tacoma, for example.

It really wasn’t a big enough deal for there to be a majority opinion either way, I’d imagine. I’d completely forgotten about it until I read your post.


I’m a Seattlelite, my perception from amongst friends was that the Capitol Hill experiment was very supportive, at least initially


There certainly was quite a bit of community support for the protests on Capitol Hill and the liberation of Cal Anderson Park and the surrounding area from being flooded with tear gas for weeks on end.

Most of the people who were in my scout troop participated at one point or another, the Capitol Hill Business Alliance was broadly supportive, albiet they were focused on business centric issues. Many of the businesses in the area operated like normal as well.

Eventually though the park was looking like a Nicklesville (old Seattlites know the etymology of this), and the crowd that had driven back the cops, painted the street with a mural, and acted in solidarity with their neighbors had dwindled, leaving just those that saw free food, free camping and few people left encouraging sociable behavior.


I've had the bad fortune of dealing with iLO in the past. There's absolutely nothing surprising to me that it would be remotely exploitable, as well as default remote accessible.
