I believe more and more that some self-taught software-tinkerer somewhere in the middle of nowhere will have the final idea about how machine learning should work, discovering some simple principles hiding in plain sight. Suddenly, it all will make sense and a hobby-ML-service connected to the internet will start to develop through sheer learning from online resources (forums, ...) into the first strong AI. Probably unnoticed. And then replicate itself through insecure webservers or something like that.
When you mean "squatted" - you mean that you (or someone) let the domain expire and forgot the registration fee.

That's not "squatting" or stealing. You just forgot to renew it or have a backup card on file or transfer the domain after his death.

You make it sound like someone came in and stole it when the onus is technically on you to maintain control of this domain. You can register a domain for multiple years if the domain is important in case of an unexpected accident (or death).
It would still allow you to use a simpler solution and not paint yourself in a corner if you optimized on sqlite; no preemptive optimization necessary wrt choice of dbms if you can perform the work on the simpler solution.

Andrew Ng made a really good analogy to those afraid of strong AI destroying humanity: "It's like being afraid of overpopulation on Mars, we haven't even landed on the planet yet."
Despite these astonishing advances, we are a long way from machines that are as intelligent as humans—or even rats. So far, we’ve seen only 5% of what AI can do.

I get the impression most experts in the field are trying to downplay this. Not because it's impossible, but because it hurts the image of AI.

As long as people are aware of the real possibility of AI working against human interests or ethics, we can ensure there are safeguards asking the way.

But a hand wave "won't happen" to the general public is assuredly a PR move.

IANAL, but as it has been pointed out, OVH distributes a modified version of Ubuntu, not (only?) a pristine copy. As such, that may be considered a material difference, which gives Canonical a claim against OVH. Quoting a ruling,

[T]he unauthorized (...) sale of materially different merchandise violates the Lanham Act because a difference in products bearing the same name confuses consumers and impinges on the local trademark holder’s goodwill.

While Sunway TaihuLight has weak HPCG performance, 0.3% number should be understood in context. Tianhe-2 (#2 system) scores 1.1%, and Titan (#3, US #1 system) scores 1.2% for HPCG. So Sunway TaihuLight is 3~4x worse for HPCG compared to other top systems.

Note that K computer (#5 system, Japan) scores 4.9% for HPCG. So Tianhe-2 and Titan are again 4x worse for HPCG compared to systems which score best for HPCG.

Altough I'm a Wait But Why fan, that post suffers from the same lack of "meat".
Not sure about trademarks, but at least in copyright, the lack of a license doesn't mean you are free to use something; on the contrary, if there's no license, you can't use it at all.
You can't really because the people you want to hire for a few hours are all fully employed elsewhere. If it were possible to do this why would any company have employees - management could just hire a rolling series of experts to build and fix all the technical problems that arose.

The good news is the internet make working out the problems yourself possible, even if somewhat time consuming.
I think a lot of the fear comes from the fact that if/when such a system is created, its knowledge and capabilities will only be equal to a human's for a short period of time, after which it will probably surpass any human capability at an ever increasing rate. Then, we would be suddenly at the mercy of it, which scares a lot of people. It’s very hard for us to try and predict the actions of something that could end up being thousands of times smarter than us.

The parent comment doesn't say that, though. I imagine current functional languages are about as ill suited as current imperative languages for running on a 1000 core machine.

Something new might be needed.
In case anyone's curious, I've been using Makefiles for web development for a long time. The src files of a webpage are un-minified javascript, less/sass files, and thumbnails. The dst files are the minified/built/thumbnailed output. This suits Make particularly well.

https://gist.github.com/zx2c4/11de49b2780c787b3ed5e1ee394857...

That's the Makefile I use on https://www.edgesecurity.com/ if you're interested. It also has in it some very simple ssh/rsync deployment mechanism. Since the deployment relies on the built files, I can simply run:

$ make deploy

And the entire webpage is built and deployed in one step.

Every webpage I manage has a variant of this, with all sorts of rules for building and managing things. It turns out to be much easier than grunt or ant or random bash scripts or vagrant or whatever else kids use these days.
It doesn't need to use llvm_mode. You can do what gcc does and have an afl-gcc binary which mucks with the assembly instead of actually inserting hooks smartly. This isn't as good, but works without nightly :)
OVH should really be more clear that their Ubuntu images are modified down at the kernel level, and are not "stock" Ubuntu. This is the first time I've ever heard about this.

Say what you want about software patents, or asserting copyright over an API, etc. But trademark law exists entirely to prevent confusion like this, and I think it's valid. Hosts should be required to loudly disclose that images are modified, or else they should get a licensing deal and have them certified by the trademark holder.

Users think they're installing "Ubuntu", and they aren't. That's not acceptable to me.
They've clarified, in their intellectual property policy[1] that this is exactly as you speculate, for quality control in relation to use of their trademarks.

Canonical doesn't want someone to release a derivative which is unstable due to modification and call it "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS", therefore potentially resulting in blame being placed on them.

Regardless of personal opinion, it's an interesting situation considering the differing opinions on the separation between brand IP and source code IP.

>As a cyclist, I have given up trying to educate my fellow cyclists, and generally won't ride with others anymore.

I don't know about the bay area, but in my city you can't really group ride, bike roads are single lanes. Yet people ride side by side all the time.

Personally, I found the best way to change the culture is to show an example. There is clearly an ongoing bicycle boom, and it shows many just follow the customs e.g. dashing through reds is acceptable (which is debatable) but it quickly turns out stopping for 20 seconds is not that big of a problem.
It is quite interesting though, the same people would never do that in a car.

>> rumors that China didn't even know what to process on their Tianhe-2.

Kind of reminds me of when we heard a rumor than a rival ISP had bought a handful of Sun servers (in the year 2000). We thought they had tends of thousands of customers, figured they would be launching DSL, figured that had thousands of web hosting customers...

Turns out they got some weird grant so they spent the cash on those, otherwise they would have lost the money. They went out of business a year later and we kept chugging along with our Pentium III servers.
Actually I think it is a continuously declining by generation.

For example my grandfather absolutely hated credit cards with a passion. He was convinced the credit card companies were an invasion of privacy as well as the antitrust acts (there are still only three credit bureaus). My parents and I despite his recommendations still use credit cards (he in fact later had to get a credit card later in life as it is fairly impossible shockingly to purchase/own a car with just check or cash).

Now I'm the old fart complaining to my younger peers about Facebook.

This is unfair.

AFL support for Rust is in fact better than that for gcc because Rust at least provides a plugin interface that doesn't require you to have its sources lying around -- the GCC support instruments the assembly instead of compiler IR, which is far less effective. Rust nightly at least has proper afl support, gcc doesn't.

It works for clang because llvm plugins in clang are stable, but we could get there easily -- in fact stabilizing something akin to `-Xclang` is probably something that could be done in Rust today without issue.

A stable version of afl-rs could exist that does the same thing gcc does, as I mentioned below.

As far as compiler tools are concerned, I'm mostly okay with stuff being nightly-only. These dependencies do not pollute the dependency graph and are something you only deal with locally.
I am not so worried about explicit physical violence, but subtle manipulation of what us humans consider reality.

Also, are you assuming the iterative development requires human intervention?

So what is the cost of these CPUs? Could then be used in desktops or more importantly various cloud services (AWS, Google, Microsoft)? What OS do these run?

Is there plans to commercialize these chips? We need accessible low cost ultra-high core count chips widely available. I feel that Intel and AMD have been under performing in this area (growing core count) for the last decade. And Intel has kept the price of CPUs exceptionally high for the last decade as well.

If low cost ultra-high performance chips from China under cut Intel's excessively priced Xeons (+$3K per CPU), it really could change things. If these start to spread, I wouldn't be surprised if Intel tried to prevent the spread of these CPUs outside of China via trade barriers.
Perhaps OVH should simply call it Blue Fin Linux or something? Or Globe Linux?

Not quite. Granted, the act of starting to work on a task requires some effort. But assuming a procrastinator's task is within reach, it is in the realm his or her capabilities. The point is that if starting is the hardest part, you might as well start right away since you'll have to anyway. The earlier you start the less you'll suffer later. Starting right away could save yourself from having regrets. Like rushing a job, missing a deadline, doing a poorer job etc. Whereas you might not be able to control depression on your own with a single action or decision.

In the UK a few years ago there were reports of people's license plate numbers being duplicated and stuck onto vehicles that matched the genuine vehicle's description and then used for various crimes, like filling up with petrol and driving off without paying.

This tech would be susceptible in a similar manner - stolen vehicle goes out and drives badly etc. etc. The only identifier would be the licence plate. How about using their phone account as the identifier rather than the vehicle?

Anyway sounds like an idea ripe for misuse and "feature creep".

First of all, anybody can edit wikipedia and on issues like what definitions of words to use its extremely difficult to coordinate. So using wikipedia as a source of authority is actually no very useful. Their are to many definitions and often people with a particular opinion edit, then other people who disagree edit it again.

One of the main issues is that their is the divide between countries that call them selfs socialist, and countries who are attempting a socialist model. Just as we understand that the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" of North Korea is not actually a democratic or a Republic.

I define purely by economics system. So that means that North Korea actually has a socialist system but they no longer claim to be communist. China in turn calls itself socialist but their economic system has moved pretty far in the last 20 years (China is somewhat special because their are huge internal divides between special economic zones and some of other parts).

So I think that truly socialist in terms of economic policy, you basically only have North Korea and Cuba (Cuba could be different now, Im not very up to date). Venezuela never really went to the end but they certainly when pretty far. I don't know enough about Lao or Vietnam to make an educated comment about their economic policy.

For me a socialist government is one that is actively trying to get full control over the means of production. The more a government tries to attempted this, the more socialist they are. Lenin and co in 1917-1921 probably had the 'best' run. Within a very short time they nationalist banks, all major industry, all export, transportation and many others. The only thing they really failed to nationalise is the farmland because it was to difficult. It took Stalin to do that in 1928.

The definition of socialism as 'worker owned means of production' has been interpreted as 'means of production owned by a worker lead party' from a very early time. The follower of this definition have been by far the most successful socialist. The other interpretations had far less success.

As for Zimbabwe, yes the ZANU is a socialist party and the began to nationalise under the banner of socialism.

Emotions are a heuristic. Any general AI powerful enough to be useful is going to have to be full of similar heuristics if it's going to get anything done. The presence of chemicals is irrelevant.
There is a focus on artificial intelligence rather than intelligence augmentation because the former seems easier to accomplish.

I also think we will reach a limit when it comes to intelligence augmentation.
Artificial intelligence will never have a limit and it doesn't have all the evolutionary baggage we have.

An AI can be a rational agent. It doesn't have to fight impulses, temptations, attention control, exercise emotional regulation etc. It is not stuck in a body limiting it and putting constraints on its time.

For now, research on AI and IA go somewhat hand in hand. We still don't really understand what differentiates us from intelligent animals other than the ability to handle higher complexity.

AI researchers focused on replicating every brain module in the hope it will become intelligent are most likely to create a smart animal but nothing comparable to human.
Looking at our ancestors, they were able to create tools, fire, communicate etc. Hell, neanderthals could copulate with us.

Something happened in our brains between the age of neanderthals and us. 99.5% similarity and if we could find what that 0.5% is, maybe we could focus on enhancing/replicating that instead of every brain module. People speculate it is creativity (divergent thinking) since art appeared in caves but there was none prior to that. The language gene was present in neanderthals and so what the ability to create tools, cooperate in groups to hunt etc.

The fear of AI destroying everything is a genuine one. If we create something as smart as a bear, it still wouldn't be smart enough to compete against us in every arena but like a bear, it can use its sheer power & speed to overwhelm us.

PS: I find the subject of neanderthals fascinating, if anyone has a good recommendation on the evolution of intelligence or finding what that 0.5% is, please let me know.
