Yeah, that’s when I heard of it too. It was such a weird pivot. Given that they’re pretty much the only consumer indie chat bot left (RIP Ozlo), it was apparently a successful one.
I had a random virus in 2010 that made me very sick for about a month, the doctors thought it was mono. I fully recovered, but then for about 2 years after I slept 12 - 16 hours a day and was tired all the time. No other changes.

Completely resolved itself over a couple of months, after about 2 years.

Viruses do very strange things to the body.
In the country I live in, we have a pretty good public transport service. I still had to get up at like 5:30 in the morning, to get to grade 9+ on time. (8 ish in the morning for the first period) From taking a long time to properly get up (constant sleep deprivation) to taking a bus to get me to the bus that takes me to a third bus that takes me to school, plus some wait times in between... And also a lot of heavy books...

i understand that but the lead acid vs lithium pricing is complicated to say the least. here is an example i got recently.

12v 4 qty 200 Ah =9600 wh with usable around half so 5kwh. it would cost me INR 100,000 almost with a 5 year warranty. this is lead acid one

lithium i got a quote for 48v 100ah = 110,000 INR for 3-5 years warranty.

the seller is pushing me to buy the lithium battery but the pricing is not competitive enough imo. they are charging me a huge markup so unless i buy from their suppliers, i dont see the benefit of paying he dealer a huge markup for no "addition" of theirs.

to put this lithium into perspective, https://okayaev.com/faast/

this scooter is selling for the same 100,000 with a 4.5 kwh battery. i know its 72v vs 48v but just saying they are giving the same battery + entire scooter so the battery should definitely not cost this much

Is stadia really that crazy? OnLive existed well before stadia and was basically the same thing.
> It's better than collecting the same in taxes

No, it's much worse than taxes. Taxes are (at least in theory) collected equitably. TV/radio feeds are collected equally from everyone (except a couple of exceptions). If you have a low income you still pay the full fees. If you fall into one of the exceptions it is up to you to convince the fee collectors of that. Don't do that in time and you have to pay the fee anyway.

Not to mention having a second set of taxes with second set of collectors is just wasteful.

And don't tell me that this is about the TV/radio stations being independent of the government - the government is the one that decides on this fee so that changes nothing about the TV/radio stations incentives to not rock the boat.

And not to mention that a lot of these fees are not even used for providing "unbiased" news (which is what is used to justify them) but are funneled into private companies via sports licensing and other questionable entertainment.
Yes, your opinion seems based on how the numbers sound rather than what they imply/mean. The United States reaching 18% interest rates would have absolutely massive effects, we've been in a low interest rate environment since the GFC and 10% has not been broken for ~40 years. House prices plummeting would be the least of it.
I'm currently developing an "experimental" piece of software, i.e. I am not even sure some features I want to add are possible, meaning I had to rewrite it a couple of times (and won't be the last). Having strict versioning, pinning, and documenting everything before it reaches a semi-stable state would discourage me from developing it altogether.

I agree with the approach they are taking, keep the disclaimer, put it out there, get some visibility to find early adopters and contributors and stabilize it. A year from now people will have forgotten about this thread and will see it a new and stable framework.
I totally assumed it was an official Deno launch until I read your comment. I think it's the combination of the domain and the Deno mascot that makes it misleading.

yeah it's great that "cargo buidl" doesn't automatically try to download and install cargo-buidl but if cargo-buidl somehow ends up in your $PATH (perhaps installed as a side effect of another package or even some other package manager like pip) then it will run. Though I guess someone could also just as easily put a malicious cargo in your $PATH and that will work in most cases, depending on precedence...
> I'm kind of the guy you're directing this comment at, I think.

I'm directing it at myself as much as anyone else. Like yeah, it's shitty that a gravel road could very well spiral into further ecological destruction and sprawl. It's also shitty to assume that it'll do so and use that assumption to actively hinder the quality of life for a community - especially when in all likelihood the vast majority of people wanting to impose such a hindrance do so from the comfort of lifestyles built upon far greater degrees of ecological destruction. It's great that you're making a positive difference (and if I had the funds to buy 40 acres of land I'd be thrilled to do something similar), but among those condemning a gravel road in a national forest, you're almost certainly the exception, not the rule - and even if I was such an exception, it still wouldn't be my place to judge them for that.

Put differently:

> Do we even know what the locals think, by the way? Like actual normal people who live there? I would bet it's not a one-sided issue.

No. We don't. That's exactly my point. Humans need to choose to be good stewards of the world they inherited. We lack the context, the moral high ground, and the ability to make that choice on anyone else's behalf.
In Denmark, 30 years fixed rate is the standard mortgage. I think it was basically the only way to own a home until "liberalizations" in 2002, and some of the more.. creative financial products that showed up are what ended up causing trouble after 2007.

You're right about the compute part being wrong. I never said it wasn't legal, just that they took someone else's work to train it. I would hope that voice synthesis is illegal without permission from the voice's owner, but I imagine it is untested so far.

But it's not just about the popup - it 's more that when your work is fundamentally about using reusing someone else's character, it feels pretty hypocritical to be so focused on making sure you get credit.
The way especially Americans talk about backup battery solutions confuses me. The Tesla Powerwall is spoken of as though it were a particularly unique innovation, and it's apparently news for Toyota to unveil an...8.7kWh battery. They just seem like par for the course to me, on the way too expensive side even.

Then again most of the products that have existed in this space/have been deployed in the developing world are from India and China, so it's perhaps not surprising that Westerners haven't been drooling over those.
Your debt is losing value at the rate of inflation, and you are paying less than the rate of inflation for that debt. If I'm paying 2.9% on -800k and that -800k is inflated away at 8.6% then I'm making 5.7%.

Both of these issues have at their core the same question: are we gatekeeping "sentience" or I suppose, moral consideration, really - behind the rather utilitarian "so what's it done for us lately?"
This one can learn long-term strategies such as "stand upright so that you can walk around" without any demonstration.

Dreamer works equally well, but needs a more elaborate training setup and it's not hierarchical, meaning the AI cannot learn to self-impose intermediate goals.

So the novelty is that they make a hierarchical long-term RL AI trainable end-to-end, which was impossible before.
60 kWh/day would not be enough to heat a modest sized house (~2000 sqft) in Lapland, even with geothermal heating.

Unless you meant 100 kWh/day, which would be doable, but I think only with geothermal.
> The brain-in-the-jar example presumes that the whole nervous system receives identical stimulation as-if it were embedded in the world.

I should have chosen a similar sounding thing, I really meant what I said, not the original brain-in-a-jar thought experiment.

> Incidentally, this is what people mean by intelligence... by since no one has studied the relevant science, people do not know what's required to provide it.

I don't understand how these two sentences work together: the word's meaning is defined by its usage. If tomorrow most people in the world says that being intelligent is defined by waking up at 6AM and doing 10 jumping jacks every day, then that is what the word will mean whether you want it or not.

In my "human frame of reference", "Yes, you wouldnt be intelligent if you were literally a brain in a jar.." really does not square with how intelligence is talked about for instance so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure if we need historical precedents with farms full of pretty smart and feeling animals, which are much closer to our arrangement than a completely different model.

But I don’t talk ethics here, only the status quo. We are the predators in power, and only we can decide if something is sentient and/or feeling and/or have rights. It doesn’t mean that we should decide in a way that you think is horrific. The key point is that there is no absolute truth and only how we collectively are thinking (partly by nature’s design, partly by social standards) will define how it will be. No one will judge us except ourselves.

(Turned out a little hard for me to express it clearly, I hope it makes at least some sense)

Right for sure, I'm just trying to get to a better argument. I definitely agree that there's a great deal more consideration in your comment than in one that GPT-3 would come up with. I do wonder how far these language models can be pushed. GPT-3 seems to formulate rich models of reality to be able to extract/derive information needed to construct these answers.

When I hurt your pride by suggesting you haven't fully understood GPT-3, you are motivated to come up with not just a valid response, but one that has been vetted by as many of your well developed models that form your understanding of GPT-3 so I can be suitably impressed. I'm with you that GPT-3 wouldn't go deeper than just finding some information that it thinks it's true. Though maybe GPT-3 would recognise their authority was being challenged and add that line to affirm their credentials as an AI researcher.

What if GPT-3 were pushed in a similar manner, perhaps in some adversarial scheme, to not only produce information that is correct, but that is clever and exploring deep meaning, motivated by some similar feeling of pride or vindication. I think the models required to do that do not lie far from the models it needed to build to form sentences that accurately describe reality.
No, I am saying that, when the convenient way is not available (for example when your account is blocked) you can still use alternatives.
> Overfitting is a great way to make rapid gains, but much of it is illusory.

I'm not sure why you think this is the case for L4. Do you mean since it can be geo/weather restricted the learning task is easier? Surely weather plays a large role but I don't see why other L4 companies necessarily overfit more (also how does overfitting provide rapid gains?). If you overfit when training for your L4 system...it's not an L4 system.

> Even if true, LiDAR wouldn't help as it cannot see painted lane lines and is extremely weak at object identification.

True, but:

A) Again, the test is reliable detection which is simply out of reach atm from single-sensor input

B) HD maps help a lot with this issue since the lane lines become less important
That part about "meaningful computations" was indeed a bad phrasing, and, ironically, quite meaningless.

Still, it's important to note that "ANNs are Turing Complete" actually means "particular classes of ANNs are Turing Complete" - that is, for any Turing Machine, you can construct an equivalent ANN from that class. Here is a paper [0] showing this for the Transformer architecture that is quite relevant to GPT-3 (not sure if LaMDA is also based on this). Note that even here, there are some caveats - you have to use a positional encoding, and the Transformer must have some particular layers.

Still, this doesn't mean that a particular ANN (by which I mean, the result of training, like the copy of GPT-3 that is accessible via APIs) is Turing Complete, or even that the training mechanism used is Turing Complete. The proof in that paper only shows that for every TM there exists a corresponding Transformer ANN that produces the same output for the same input. That doesn't mean you can train this ANN based on backprop/gradient descent. Even more, it definitely doesn't mean GPT-3 itself can perform any computation, in the sense that my CPU can be programmed to, or produce any program in the sense that a C compiler can.

Note that even the universal function approximator result works the same way - it shows that for any (continuous and differentiable in at least one point) function there exists an ANN with certain properties that approximates it to arbitrary precision [1]. This doesn't mean that such an ANN can actually be constructed using backpropagation or other known training methods, from any input.

It also means that there isn't necessarily any ANN that can arbitrarily approximate a non-continuous function, such as tan(x) or f(x) = {1 for x >= 0, 0 for x < 0}, or continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere functions like the Weierstrass function.

They don't utterly destroy performance, but there is some hit if you use UUID v4 random values due to database index scattering. That's why this new proposal exists. It adds new versions of UUID that are mostly incrementing in time, so that they group better.
To add to the other answer...

The final goal is indeed to use all letters. If you just go around choosing words, let's say, at random, you'll end up with places where you cannot use some letters. Then you will have to unmark some "wrong" (valid but not the ones in the searched solution) words and try to find some other combinations that don't leave unused cells.

Note that a "score" is calculated when you reach the 100% filled solution. This score penalizes marking "wrong" words and going back and unmarking them. So if you want to not only solve the puzzle but get a good score, you need to be careful not to go too fast adding just whatever word you find. Instead, try to build words which don't leave isolated letters, e.g. start in a corner and build from there, or from the bottom, etc.

If you were lucky enough to be in a hot market…

I’m originally from the Bay Area, as were my parents, and the family who still live there are sitting on valuable houses. My dad’s parents bought a house in San Jose in the ‘50s, my uncle’s wife ultimately ended up with it an sold it for multi-millions. My step father’s mother has a house in San Leandro that was bought in the ‘50s and is worth maybe $700k — maybe, totally guessing here.

Other family left the Bay Area over the years and bought houses which are nowhere near as valuable because the local markets don’t support that kind of price increases.

In ‘90-91 my stepdad’s work closed and some of the people transferred to South Carolina where they bought literal mansions from the difference in housing prices between the Bay Area. A few years later that place closed and they couldn’t sell their houses because nobody could afford them in the local market.

Long story short, it depends.
I agree with that. By "AIs" I mean currently existing ML models we're calling AIs. That's not how we create them.

If we did make them that way, they wouldn't do large-language-model stuff though - what's that got to do with survival? Humans went millions of years without bothering to read that much too.
not surprising, as methane and hydrogen produced by bacteria in the gut and detected at elevated levels in the exhaled by breath air (i.e. gut->blood->lungs) is an actual diagnostic test for SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)
Another area where electric propulsion shines. You can simply drive each propeller with its own motor and not blow up your weight/complexity budget even if you go crazy with the number of fans line Lilium did. That's precisely why almost noone bothered with tiltrotors until batteries became so good that they are almost useful for flying aircraft.
I would imagine it will end with a similar outcome to video game likenesses - a person owns their likeness and you can't create products that includes their likeness without their consent.
> In a few years, if access to even better chat bots becomes common place, what will happen if there's no longer one Blake Lemoine...

> How long before we have a religion where you ask the chat bot for daily guidance?

That might actually happen at some point in the not too distant future. When we mix technology designed to fool people, with people that want to believe it is something other than what it is, then you are very likely to get into those situations.

This was touched upon a bit in season 2 of the Raised by Wolves sci-fi, where they showed people who allowed and counted on AI to make decisions for them. It is not too hard to imagine having a chat bot built for or is easily adapted to the purpose of providing daily guidance for those in a state of mind to seek out and become dependent upon such.
If given enough time to study it I couldn't come up with a series of prompts that would convince me I'm not speaking to a human, yes I would be likely to accept that it is in some sense sentient, at least for the duration of one conversation.

This is not exactly the classic Turing Test, though.

Oh, I don't mean only basic things are helpful, I mean if it works it'll become "basic". Like if a nootropic really worked that well we'd call it either a vitamin or a medication. (NAC and modafinil are here, and half the other effective ones like Semax are medications in Russia.)

If you plan on keeping the same quality of life/not thinking about what kind of power you're using, go with the generator.

If you're ready to make some sacrifices/be a lot more conscientious with energy use, take the battery capacity you think you need and then double it.

Air conditioning, heating, stuff like microwaves and electric cookers, dryers, etc consume an absolute ton of power, and I imagine you'd have even more high-power appliances on a farm.
