Yeah, but landing a rocket backwards also sounded very improbable to me, yet it looks pretty cool now.

Also people made fun of tesla that it will never be able to compete with the big carmakers. Now I would rather have some stocks in tesla than holding on to volkswagen.

I wouldn’t be so sure about Tesla stock. Tesla has only weathered 1 market downturn cycle and that was when it was a very different company. The company has thus far had access to plentiful capital since the Model S started being delivered.

Famous investors like to repeat the quote that “when the tide goes out, that’s when we find out who’s wearing no pants.” When Tesla actually weathers its first market downturn is when we find out how much investors interest is maintained When investment dollars are scarce.

If I would look onto you as my obedient slavish worker I would like you to not kill yourself.

I agree. Maybe one would need to ban the misinformative marketing (although I know that opens another can of worms).

I don't understand the downvotes. This is an accurate description of the food I get in german supermarkets at least.

Same here in the UK.

Being downvoted for stating the facts is very common on HN.

Personal freedom only works when someone is educated enough to make their own choices imho.

And still this type system could be the base for a very interesting and powerfull programming language imo.

Yeah we don't throw programming languages away because they are undecidable.

So why would we throw type systems away if they are undecidable?

My 2¢ from an interactive theorem proving perspective: In so-called computational type theory, typechecking is indeed allowed to be undecidable, and you get a lot of cool expressive power (e.g. well-behaved quotients and subtypes) as a result. This was one of the big ideas behind NuPRL back in the day, and Istari[0] more recently.

Decidability isn't even that useful. If typechecking takes a million years, that's also bad. What you want is guarantees that correct programs typecheck quickly. Without this, you end up in swift land, where you can write correct code that can't be typechecked quickly and the compiler has to choose between being slow or rejecting your code

In practice there's wealth of lemmas provided to you within the inference environment in a way standard library functions are provided in conventional languages. Those act like a memoization cache for the purpose of proving your program's propositions. A compiler can also offer a flag to either proceed with ("trust me, it will infer in time") or reject the immediately undecidable stuff.

Presumably with the rather unpleasant side-effect of compiles that may never finish. :-P

Yes, but all practical programming languages have that problem anyway, in practice if not in theory.

This really isn't a big deal as it resolved via type universes.

I hate to say it but there will likely come much more annying things that'll disturb your gaming experience.

At this point I’m content just playing single player games and older games. What is there left to disturb me? (After I build a PC)

well aside from civilizational collapse and having to become refugees, it'd be nice to play computer games....

AINFTs! You're right, and it's a bit depressing. Seems more and more that cloud gaming is the only long term solution the industry will tolerate...I hate it.

I'm not sure because google was by far the best search engine for a long time in the early 2000s and there are a lot of models close to what openai has right now.

When you have more users you get more data to improve your models. The bet is that one company will be able to lock in to this and be at the top constantly.

I'm not saying this is what will happen, but people obviously bet a lot of money on that.

Problem is you can easily train one model on the other. And at the end of the day everyone has access to enough data in one way or another.

I think you did not understand his argument. He said it is a great danger that people might unite behind an antichrist like figure.
