I hadn’t heard that they killed the Bolt again! At least there is the 2027 model, which us starting to show up at dealers. With the Iran war, I expect much more interest in EVs right now, so this version of the Bolt may sell out fast.
A feature they removed due to their inability to make it performant in Windows 11
A feature that existed as early as win95.
The most requested change in user voice, since the earliest windows 11 betas.
It takes a team of Ph.D. level engineers to implement left-hand taskbars in a performant way! You can't expect ordinary folks from the Windows shell team to code at that level!
Probably, though I wasn't even talking about AI, I was talking about Microsoft's objections to when Casey Muratori told them that Windows Terminal sucked and they should be able to write one that goes at 60fps easy. The Windows Terminal team said "It would take a team of PhDs to do that", so Casey wrote a basic, but 60fps, terminal emulator in like a long weekend.
I had a similar idea, but it didn’t go very far beyond research. There are some special app interfaces that people have developed that remake email to look more modern like chat apps or social networks, by removing all the boilerplate.
Some of the issues I was thinking about:
Email clients by default block many types of messages and the allowed mime types are limited as is the support of html. So you really need your own email client to bring in the types of features we’d like to see, or, as you say, an intermediate format that is reinterpreted.
There’s also the fact that gmail or outlook mail servers may simply block and blacklist the content. Email was designed to be decentralized but it has moved to a system where a few companies control the major mail servers. If you wanted to re-decentralize email and add some anonymity then everyone would become their own mail server but this would raise the problems of email viruses and spam - and it’s not as convenient as just using your existing email and app.
Even if the autonomous weapon systems ‘perform as intended’, this does not in any way mean that they are not an enormous danger.
Secondly, as that is department policy and not a law or regulation, they appear to be saying that the cited directive is presently the only thing standing between the DOD and the use of autonomous weapons.
If that’s the case how hard is it to change or alter a directive?
This is neat, but I think I would avoid it given the speed with which I can make edits in Vim.
One thing I’ve learned about writing prose vs. code is that you should not be quick to edit your prose and instead continue writing and finish the complete draft. This is why studies show that typewriters and pen and paper give a better creative process. I can’t foresee me looking for things like autocomplete or pure speed when trying to put thoughts to paper.
It's probably both. We've already achieved superintelligence in a few domains. For example protein folding.
AGI without superintelligence is quite difficult to adjudicate because any time it fails at an "easy" task there will be contention about the criteria.
