Yann LeCun's paper isn't really a traditional ML paper, it discusses ideas at a high level but doesn't mention anything about implementation. If you were to try to create an RL agent based on his ideas, with the perception encoder and the perception-action loop etc, you would probably still use a large transformer to do it.
And as always when cramming in so many pixels on such a tiny area, the sensor will produce garbage material that has to be scaled down to a fraction to look acceptable. The average consumer will of course be lyrical, because bigger number is better.
Can you state that more clearly? I'm not sure what your point is.
I know it maybe too much to ask but as a noob to this field I’d love to hear more about why AGI is not feasible even in 50 years.
100%. Humans and processes are fallible.
I had a similarly nihilistic thought just a couple of days ago. It's like the conundrum among the lines of "a map of sufficient detail ends up being the same size as the terrain being mapped".

To know the variables required for "intelligence" we need to recreate the universe in which intelligence came to be.
I think the original article's chosen image plays well with unsettling/uncanny nature of current AI generated images, faces in particular.

Definitely disagree with claims of "it's never gonna look right" in the tweet chain - DALL-E 2/Imagen/Parti are already notably better than Midjourney in general. Visible flaws will continue to diminish and prices will drop.

> For these reasons, I don’t think I’ll be using Midjourney or any similar tool to illustrate my newsletter going forward

Maybe I should complain about how multi-billion dollar companies utilizing aggressive intimidation tactics to collect fees, even for public domain images they have no claim over, are stealing work from developers at the independent Midjourney research lab.
so ... photos now take up more storage space? can't see any other "benefit"
> Giving nation-states control over how Apple runs their business ... based on

If you don't like the political process then you can vote for someone else, who will pass the right laws, or appoint the right people to make such laws.

If you don't like the legal process, then do that, leave the country, or do business elsewhere.

Countries have a right to have laws that regulate companies. The population does not belong to Apple.

That population has a right to run their country how they see fit, regardless of the objections of Apple.

And if Apple tries to get around the law, you can expect them to suffer billions and billions of dollars of fines, or further legal consequences. Countries do not belong to Apple, and they have no right to get around the legal process.
A Nobbin from Digger appears in one of the text scrolls in the Area 5150 demo. That made me smile.
Hey Felix, really cool to see this here and that you were able to create it so quickly. Beyond js does it detect any native code interfering or tracking of the webview? I know for example this is possible:

UITapGestureRecognizer *targetGesture = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(handleTap:)];
[self.webView addGestureRecognizer:targetGesture];
I’m not sure why you think people on the spectrum cannot feel how others feel, but that is not the case.
> Carmack sounds like someone who lives his job, so I don't think age/life stage is a factor here.

He said on lex Fridman that he's going all in on it. He said he was tired of his 1 day a week consultancy at oculus and wanted to work full time on this.
S22 has 108 mega pixel and its file size is around 15MB. So 200 mega pixel's file size won't be more than 30mb, unless it's using different compression.
#1 is too idealistic. Things happen in life. Markets crash. College savings, previously adequate, is cut in half. Maybe other things.

#2 I'm trying but the current administration just wont have it. Like for example, the price of caviar DOUBLED at Whole Foods. Ridiculous! Also, the gas pump just stops at $150 when I try to fill up my Mercedes SUV.
As an ML researcher who thinks AGI/HLI is still pretty far away, I don't think there's actually a issue with starting a company that's trying to solve this problem. The thing is that you're going to invent a lot of useful tools along the way. It's going to take you 20-50 years to get HLI, but you're still going to produce a ton of research with a lot of practical uses. The AGI does help build hype and investments too, but the milestones are the important part for the business.
A few years ago I had made a website that worked perfectly as a website. Many people asked "why isn't it an app??"

Guess you can't make everyone happy
The extras is one of the main reasons I like using a Samsung device. They're nearly as good as my Huawei was (but you can't root those anymore so they're not a purchasing option, regardless of google play restrictions which you can easily work around).

The AI hardware button Samsung added is rather dumb but otherwise the extras don't get in the way and I sorely miss them whenever I use a bare android (a large downside for Fairphone or Lineageos or grapheneos: can't even turn on a torch from the lockscreen! Let alone set a timer. And their camera apps are objectively unusable compared to ss/hw/goog stock cameras).

Loved Cyanogenmod 4.4; very disappointed by Lineage which doesn't even come with microG which is so stable and mature these days, you need to download some sort of fork for that and then you're still missing a ton of things that worked fine on stock.

Thousands of nifty customizations were made by the community to mod every aspect of Android, but approximately none survive two major android versions so there's barely anything useful that still works on Android 10 or whatever version they're at by now. This is why I root a phone straight out of the box and apply various privacy enhancements, but unfortunately can't flash a completely open source OS...
The First and Second Amendments, specifically their cultural products in America's fetishization of gun violence, worship of the founding fathers as prophets of American civil religion, and romanticizing of the Confederacy as tragic antiheroes.

Radical indoctrination and anti-government violence are intentional features of the design of America's philosophy of government, founded as it was by people who saw the terror of the French Revolution and thought it would be a good idea to normalize the pathos behind it, believing a stable, functioning government not always a hair's breadth away from being steeped in blood can only lead to tyranny.

Unfortunately, that's not a conversation we can really have here.
So, with the help of legendary Mr Carmack, instead of a Doom timeline, we are going to end up in a Terminator timeline? This does not compute.
I’m happy to see stupid apps that took some effort to make. What I don’t like is the dime a dozen garbage apps.
The cards you reference are not really the same thing. They are doing lookaside acceleration, where the card has to transfer the data from host memory, encrypt it, and transfer it back.

The Mellanox (and Chelsio) NICs do in-line crypto. They DMA down the network packets as they would have to do anyway in order to send them. Then they encrypt them on their way out onto the wire. This reduces memory bandwidth requirements by roughly 50%.
Not quite 45 bytes, but 12,780 bytes down to 220 (a 98% footprint reduction) is very impressive on it's own.
This is a common misunderstanding of banking. They don't invent money.

The money supply "increases" when banks lend because of the double entry accounting system. They give you a loan, you can deposit the money in a bank account, and they have more deposits to loan out. It's literally just lending the same dollar twice, not inventing or creating money. (Well... somewhat less than $2 because of reserve requirements).

That's not inventing money.
I could spend all day worrying about what in theory could happen. Or I could just trust that it works the way it always has and when Apple violates my trust, I’ll just never buy their products again. And I’m only out around $200 for a pair of AirPods.
Why do we need so many pixels? Aren't lenses way more important?
ssh -x does that, _and_ it sets up authentication, making it harder to blow your foot off. No need to reinvent the wheel.
My naive assumption is that it can help with computational photography, without having to do things like sensor shift [1].

I also assume that the improvement is nowhere near "linear".
You mention "frontend team", "server development", "backend code"... But it's all just programming, we are all just programmers (or problem solvers). We can use HTML today, Python tomorrow, and SQL on Fridays. You can learn K8s during spring, and focus on Go during winter time. On summer better to improve your Pinia skills, while on autumn one should read SICP. Christmas time is for bash, though.

Unfortunately, "modern" IT companies do make the distinction between "frontend" programmers, "backend" programmers, etc. They do this not because it's better for us (the programmers), but because it's cheaper for them. If you care about your career, do not specialize. On the other hand, if you only care about your job, then sure go ahead and become a "frontend" (or "backend") master.
> Which was the whole point. A camera with zero buttons. I still pointed out the 5 or 7 features it had that technically the iOS camera wasn't doing. I would get a different reason back then. So I'd argue a different point. Then after weeks of this, it came back with the "too simple" reason again.

One way to get around this might be to have a mandatory tutorial that must be executed on first install. At least you know the random reviewer assigned to your product will be aware of all the features available, and as a benefit you have a way to onboard new users who might be mystified about why this product is useful. This might be a hassle for new users, but after your first approval, you can add a skip option in an update.
I had this game on a 5 inch floppy for a soviet IBM clone Elektronika EC 1841
The RAM difference probably isn't material to tasks which use less than the 8GB involved, the power envelope is part of the difference between the parts involved, and the m2 mac air has 8 cores. Not sure where they would have bought hardware that never existed like a 4c m2.

If one wanted to know what the difference in performance per watt or per core it would be useful to constrain the matter but that isn't the most useful question for measuring performance.

Honestly I think the important takeaway is that both chips are in the same ballpark.
Tap Tap Revenge was great. There’s so many clones on the app store now, but nothing that approaches the usability and fun.
No, what's at issue is whether Apple has the right to gatekeep the relationship between people who have bought one of their phones and developers who write software which is capable of running on those phones.

The EU has decided that Apple doesn't have that right, just as companies don't have the right to enforce a contract which requires that the signer becomes their indentured servant. We don't accept slavery of meatspace humans, so it is only consistent that we don't allow companies to own our digital selves too.
Glad someone mentioned Xrdp.

Some years ago I made a WYSIWYG customisation utility to configure not just Xrdp sessions, but also the look and feel of the Xrdp login manager : https://scarygliders.net/xrdpconfigurator/ , https://github.com/scarygliders/XRDPConfigurator

I've not done anything to it for years - lost interest in the whole thing - so it definitely needs an update to more modern versions of Python, PySide, whatever.

Pull requests welcome, in case anyone is ever interested (it's not a sexy project I suppose).

But I was particularly proud of the login screen emulator for the WYSIWYG part of it :)
What really galls me, and I know I have ranted about this here before, is that you can't even really load an app ON YOUR OWN PHONE without paying for a developer account, not to mention that I can't side load something someone else made. I get that iPhones are nifty and all, but I don't see how people can spend that money on a device that locks the owner out of basic functionally.

Android is not perfect, but at least I am able to, you know, use my phone as I see fit.
you are 100% right :-(

The spec say

"The server SHOULD send PUSH_PROMISE (Section 6.6) frames prior to sending any frames that reference the promised responses. This avoids a race where clients issue requests prior to receiving any PUSH_PROMISE frames."
Moonlight with an NVIDIA GPU is the best solution imo.
I've seen a few posts here asking why it isn't possible. Research doesn't work like that, you can't just imagine something is possible and demand reasons why it isn't. How is it possible?

It feels a bit like a lot of these fringe science things (electromagnetic fields causing harm etc) where people's argument is that nobody's shown it isn't true. Well if it's true, propose a mechanism and study it. You're not really doing research if you just make up a conclusion and use the fact that it can't be definitively refuted as evidence for it
even more confusing because of the name “keen technologies”
Because multiple files require multiple roundtrip times, more connections, and the total amount of data is higher because of all the waste that happens with headers.
Short-term car use doesn't appear to work in the market. I remember seeing a lot of advertising for Zipcar and thinking it'd be great to engage a zipcar in order to travel somewhere (say, to visit my family a couple hours away) and not have to pay the full cost of renting a car for the duration of the trip.

Except that's not allowed. Zipcar is (was?) exactly the same thing as a car rental. You pay for all the time you're in possession of the car. You're not allowed to return the car anywhere except the exact location you picked it up from.

What was the advantage supposed to be?
What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
> No way, we should expect 14k video out of this!

Output resolution for video is something different altogether.

> There are some other comments here already explaining that without better optics or a larger sensor, you really won't see much improvement past a few tens of MP.

Hence my comment about pixel binning. Plenty of phones bin pixels today. Google Pixel 6 does, as an example.

Another thing... Even if the lens is not enough to resolve 50 or 200 MP it will still look better than interpolating to a larger file for print digitally.
Doesn't back illuminated CCD somewhat fit the bill? Maybe that's cheating a bit.

I naively assumed you could get an interconnect through, by taking up a large area of silicon. :)
Because the environment and therefore opinions change over time, and Apple App Store purchase lock-in is a high barrier of entry to switch to different ecosystem.

For example, when I purchased my device, Fortnite was still available on the device, and Apple wasn't actively blocking Xbox's Cloud Streaming (back then it was xCloud Beta)
Only allow ones that are hygienic. Maybe also have a tool like DrRacket which will show you stage by stage what macros expand to (including features like not expanding common ones like "define" in Racket or "println!" in Rust). I think the latter in particular is important since debugging what code you're generating is very important.
I think what's referred to a "consciousness" is just computation applied to all the inputs received in being a living thing.
The idea that encryption algorithms need to be well tested over time is why many security experts do not trust Telegram's encryption algorithm (MTProto).
The Multimax was NS16k/NS32k-based. After the Gould acquisition they switched to the 88K, but never (AFAIK) built anything on the 68K family.

Kind of a pity, really; nice hardware, but terrible luck with processor families.
Does it allow you to blow up components? Or will it just keep simulating even if voltages, currents, or power go out of range?
No, according to the page:

> Important Note: This tool can’t detect all JavaScript commands executed, as well as doesn’t show any tracking the app might do using native code (like custom gesture recognisers).
Parsec performance is impressive. I've had good luck with Splashtop, though I've experienced some lagging at times.

There's also Teradici (HP bought them a few months ago) but that can get pretty costly.
I wonder if combining different approaches works in current AI research. I suppose it should.

A suppose something approaching AGI, an intelligent agent which can act on a _wide_ variety of input channels and synthesize these inputs into a general model of the world, could use channel-specific approaches / stages before the huge "integrating" transformer step.
Wifi 6 has all sorts of active sensing stuff for spatial frequency reuse, but GP didn't say what generation of wifi equipment was being used.
The bank isn't selling you the house, the current owner is.

If you can afford to pay the current owner, you don't need a loan. I don't see why the bank is the villain here, "preying" on basic needs. In your ethical framework, that's the current owner, who refuses to sell you his home at a massive loss so that you won't need a loan.
I hope Apple cracks down on in-app browsers.
my guess is simple because 99% of people have their needs met by the app store and / or have no interest in side loading because it's too technical for too little benefit
When the bank secrecy act was passed, the cutoff was $10,000 (inflation adjusted ~$70,000)

Since then, some of the fines for violating currency reporting have been adjusted for inflation. But curiously, the reporting cut off was not inflation adjusted and remains at $10,000.

In 1970, thus, a 'large' transaction was one that exceeded the median family annual income. In 2022, a 'large' transaction is a beat up honda civic.
But they usually use the google app to find info, rather than going to the app store.
> Not thrilled to have that attitude from someone working on general AI.

Once a technology exists it rapidly changes hands/applications either way. So it makes little/no difference what attitude the creators possess at the time of innovation.
There was lots of public discussion, and no one made a serious case for keeping it. I think Chrome probably would have been happy to keep it if someone had been able to describe how it was improving performance on their site.
In 1910 someone tried to introduce moose into a remote corner of New Zealand [1]. They haven't been seen since 1952, but seem to still be out there, as hair was found in 2002. If things as big as moose can hide a self-sustaining population in a small corner of New Zealand, thylacines could plausibly hide in Australia or Tasmania.

We use UFS for content. The ZFS caching layer (ARC) does not integrate with the kernel's page cache, and so sendfile() requires a copy to send data residing on ZFS. I believe that ZFS also does not implement the async methods required for the async portion of sendfile.
One big issue is how exactly we'll continue to scale. Exponential growth is hard to maintain.

An example: In the Chinchilla paper [1], the authors suggest that most big transformer models are undertrained, and that we will probably see diminishing returns in scaling up the size of networks if we don't also scale up the size of the datasets. They have a subanalysis where they extrapolate out how big datasets will need to be for larger models. If you believe it, then within two to three generations of big NLG models, we may need on the order of 100 trillion text tokens. But it's not clear if that much text even exists.

Right, because the millions of people that have a mobile device as the one and only compute device would magically be buying a different type of computer?
Add something like a break_n/break_label that allows for leaving a loop from a switch statement. Or allow goto in that limited case.
yes. it is not even about crypto. (to make it clear, I am truly serious and not sarcastic)

That's not installed by default on Linux distributions that I'm aware of. Expect is an awesome tool though.
I'm not convinced that not changing a standard that is already quite flexible is a bad thing.
I think you have been misinformed. Voice calls over plain old telephone service were band-limited to <4khz decades before cell phones became popular. This was necessary in order to cram more active calls into our existing telephone infrastructure.

Digital phone calls today are way better.
I started using macOS with Big Sur (still on it) and I don't understand why Apple would remove the ability to select buttons in dialog windows with the keyboard. I've googled it and it seems you used to be able to do that on macOS, but when I follow the instructions on Big Sur, I can't move the selection from the button active by default to the other one (e.g. "Ok" vs "Cancel"). That means my right hand is making runs between keyboard and mouse all the time. Very unergonomic.
Well, if those 200 million photocells actually performed on par with iPhone's 12 million cells in terms of ISO performance and SNR, that would be spectacular if combined with the right processor.

Sadly, we all know it's just a numbers show gimmick and pathetic that their 200 million can't still beat 12 million.

It is absolutely unethical.
Another simple trick that I almost forgot:

You don't need to escape new lines if you end them with an operator:

test 1 = 1 &&

test a = b ||

exit 122

Works with all logical operators, ampersand and pipe. By the way, the ampersand is often expressed with a new line after it, but it doesn't require it:

this_in_background & this_in_foreground

This is the same as writing:

this_in_background &

this_in_foreground
Or re-enabling the "boiling" functionality requires upgrading to their subscription plan, to help pay for their online service which checks that you are using official Acme branded water.
This applies to android as well
Cool, make it happen. Don’t know how? Neither does anyone else. That’s why it’s not happening right now.
Good point. The lines between consciousness and knowledge seem blurred too since though we may have certain kinds of knowledge without embodiment (such as 2+2=4), other knowledge such as qualia [1] may be inaccessible to an unembodied agent. The classic example of "Mary knowing everything about the color red before having seen the color red physically. Does she still learn more about the color red when she actually experiences it with her own eyes?"
