As someone who witnessed AI Dungeon's GPT-3 model with an unlimited uninhibited imagination for erotica I would download everything now before they cripple the models. I would not be surprised if they very shortly completely stop downloads due to "abuse" and pursue a SAAS model.

I think it's funny how Yandex, a Russian company, releases these big language models without all the AI safety handwringing in their press releases. The Russians have a tradition of releasing technology without giving a lot of worry about what happens to it, for better or for worse. For example, they made between 75 and 100 million ak-47s, a not in any way limited machine gun, and it spread to every corner of the world. They even gave out all the plans and technical assistance so any one of the organizations they worked with could produce their own. 20 different countries make ak-47s currently. Of course you had to register every xerox machine in the Soviet Union, so maybe they just had different priorities?

The west is absolutely fascinated these days with the control of advanced technology. Drones, Blockchain, and AI models seem to be the latest things that the west is determined to exercise control over. For example:

"Many of the technological advances we currently see are not properly accounted for in the current regulatory framework and might even disrupt the social contract that governments have established with their citizens. Agile governance means that regulators must find ways to adapt continuously to a new, fast-changing environment by reinventing themselves to understand better what they are regulating. To do so, governments and regulatory agencies need to closely collaborate with business and civil society to shape the necessary global, regional and industrial transformations." -Klaus Schwab, "The Fourth Industrial Revolution", Page 70.
Back in the day, if you had an infection in the leg they would bring a hacksaw and cut it off, giving you some whiskey to dull the pain.

I prefer modern medical system with antibiotics, anti-virals and anti-inflamatory drugs.
This is honestly the best one so far for the things I'm looking to do. For weird prompts though it sometimes produces images that just look blurry.
It's also sad that industry completely failed to convince the population that they can provide a safe solution. For all the credit we give BigCo for creating propaganda, it's curious that they were unable to be successful here, given the stakes.

This would probably be classified as a security under U.S. law, meaning generally that because you are soliciting investment from U.S. citizens you would be required to satisfy the requirements of a public offering.

(Note that this is distinct from companies like Kiva, as microlending is its own separate thing.)

Hi lovasoa, this is definitely an option, and we're open to suggestions in this area!
My fave is the one that does the same for Microsoft Windows, sobering stuff and very distracting when your PC beeps 24/7!
I have AppleTalk compiled into the kernel on the machine I'm using to type this, have also done some work on adding CHAOSNET to it.
One of my former colleagues who was always in charge of publishing our team's performance testing results was a complete hardass on the rest of us for using proper language around multipliers and superlatives. It's well worth the clarity to avoid precisely this situation.
There does seem to be some internal limit to the history size though. My installation is also more than 5 years old, but I can't browse back more than ~6 months.

This helps with performance for sure.
We would see some side effect of it depending on the exact nature of reality and time. Since we don't see things from the future randomly appearing now, nor do we have cherenkov radiation occurring in places that it shouldn't in open space it seems unlikely FTL is occurring.
But it is not even a "Consumer Beta" it is a developer beta- for catching bugs and allowing devs to create applications for new APIs while Apple polishes the build for release? Was snow leopard ever released as a dev beta even?
So Which Algorithms Do the Chinese Regulators Have?
>it can write technical documentation

For the love of god please NO.
> "Evidence" is anything that should cause you to update your beliefs.

No, this is too broad. We are talking about testing scientific theories, not just updating a random person's beliefs. "Evidence" is what you compare theoretical predictions with to test theories.

> The simulations show that a certain possible phenomenon is consistent with known physics when this was not known before

More or less, yes.

> and therefore they raise the likelihood that the phenomenon exists.

No, this is a non sequitur. Knowing that a phenomenon is consistent with the laws of physics tells you nothing about whether that phenomenon actually exists. The set of phenomena that actually exist is too tiny compared to the set of phenomena that are consistent with the laws of physics for knowing something is a member of the latter to give any useful information about the former.
> You can't distinguish the boxes externally (just by looking anyway).

You know what else can't be distinguished when they sit in boxes in a warehouse (just by looking)? Bricks and teddy bears.

Do you find that they also lack a rigorous meaning? :)
By this reasoning, everyone would shirk at work. If you think incentives only act over short time horizons, I don't know how you explain an enormous amount of human behavior.

The market didn't even understand it. Most of the people trading equities, especially around earnings announcements, don't know what a data warehouse is or what matters in that market. All they saw was "miss".
Just tried it, the results seem pretty poor, about on par with Craiyon/DALL-E Mini. I don't think OpenAI should be worried quite yet.
>modern digital cameras don't generate an aesthetic at all

For whatever reason, Netflix Originals seem to love having a super strong blur over the foregrounds and backgrounds. My understanding is that this is due to the 1974 Hawk anamorphic lenses they tend to use, although maybe it's a post-production effect? When the characters are on the edge of the frame, sometimes they'll be a blurry mess while a random object in the middle of the room looks super sharp.

I've always assumed it's cheap way to look "cinematic", like portrait mode on an iPhone. Or maybe it's a way to cover up flaws in sets.

Either way, in shows like The Witcher and Sabrina I find it incredibly distracting.
Interesting reading. Of course, I don't know how much to believe, since accounts, during a war, of behind-the-scenes shenanigans that led up to it, are rarely as accurate as what you have ten years or twenty years later.

What this version of events suggests, though, is that Putin learned absolutely nothing from the Bush administration's mistakes in the runup to the invasion of Iraq, where they were unwilling or unable to admit that things would not go smoothly. It is odd that Putin's KGB background did not apparently enable him to realize when he was being given bad intelligence.
The last desktop PC I worked on was an old Dell Xps Tower that I ended up upgrading a lot of motherboard components.

That thing was like an Indiana Jones trap in terms of slicing my hands.
"Coordinated disclosure" is the orwellian reimagining here. The only reason why the industry settled on the responsible disclosure process is that works regardless of how much vendor coordination occurs, or even if they are technically responding to emails but really just stalling indefinitely.
I can see why it died off. There were preciously few ways to have LAN play over a distance without weird connection issues. At some point I recall that Hamachi did work fairly well, but that meant you still had to rely on a third party in the end.

Even now it's only somewhat doable to do it without relying on 3rd parties by using wireguard. So I can see why relying on a third party became the default.
No thank you.

This is also solving the wrong problem - only government would be able to tap into these message.

But children being bullied or intimidated into doing things they don't want to (compromising photos) is a real problem, and for that you need parents not government.

But phones block parents, everything is locked down, encrypted, they have modes with auto-deleting messages. It's basically impossible to actually check what your children are doing.

Tech companies have made is almost impossible to parent children. Yet when something happens people say "where were the parents?".
Because that's part of being a human being.

If there was a real problem, they'd never tell you about it, to prevent a moral panic. Thus, this is just another fear-porn piece.
> I doubt they purposefully made repairablity difficult

I'm more cynical of Apple since they started doing things like soldering in RAM connections on the Mini totally unnecessarily.
I would guess that this is less likely to be true of Snowflake than CircleCI.

Most dev teams are underinvested in CI. That is, if you queried some random team, they'd probably have a dozen ideas for tests or processes they'd like to write/run if they had the resources, most of which would provide some real value - the ideas likely coming from some previous actual bugs that hit prod.

Most BI teams are overinvested in data. They have way more than is valuable. Large scale analysis is mostly exploratory and speculative, and rarely yields results. Any induced usage is more from fear they might throw away the magic bits than real value being unlocked by better efficiency. (And I think this is probably necessarily true. Any BI process that gets to the point the data is clear and regularly actionable also gets operationalized and right-sized through a more normal dev process.)
No -- it means everyone is 23 years old and you get free lunch.
I chose the MS ecosystem over Google with similarish reasons. And now everything is dark patterns into Bing, the browser won't end to end encrypt things like synced browsing history, etc.

TVs are the same. Pay a pretty penny for a high end TV, hello, we'll still stuff this thing full of ads and tracking cookies.

I really, really wish companies would stop asking themselves "Why not both?"
The generated pictures that are posted in the blog post are superior than the average artist work. Which isnt surprising, AI corrects "human mistake" (e.g. composition, colors, contrasts, lines, etc) easily.
Hasn't this been proposed/discussed/tried for multiple times in the last few decades? Feels like this comes up every time a fab hits a wall in their process shrink.
2008 had one of the top 5 or 6 peaks of inflation over the past century!

So not sure how you're deducing there was no inflation. The deflationary spiral happened AFTER the bank bailout.
Yes you can https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/releases/tag/v0.2.3 (probably the easiest way)
Humans are trained on other humans' work as well though. Is there a type of ideological or aesthetic exploration that can't be expressed as part of an AI model?

If you have a team that manages a domain, it will take a month to get anything done with them, if they even allow you to get what you need done. If there is a way to make it easier, they aren't interested.
LFTR?
Sounded cool as a title, but then looking closer one will find "it's built on top of a web app". Yikes, Flutter is horrible as a web platform: poor performance, poor js compatibility
Alcohol has a diuretic effect. It makes the kidneys produce urine. Without access to actual clean water, it seems to me that drinking alcohol will just dehydrate the person even faster.
Yes, please continue.
> Right now I don't think it's reasonable to say this article is making a mistake using the term in this way.

I disagree, because I think the ordinary lay person takes "evidence" to mean what I said and would agree that a computer simulation is not evidence. And this article is supposed to be for the ordinary lay person.
You mean just like how rich people bankrupt out of their failed loans and then the taxpayers bail out the banks?
Reminds me of the Whiskey Speech: https://academyatthelakes.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Noa...
I also have a TCL Roku TV and NextDNS. In the last 30 days, just over 16k connections to scribe.logs.roku.com have been blocked.

Maybe your TV is a little overactive for some reason? 50k in a day almost makes it seem like something is broken somehow.
There's definitely a Netflix aesthetic - if you watch a lot of Netflix you'll see it. Especially in Indian/Bollywood circles, "Netflix movie" is a pejorative. It means its shot in a certain high-res way, favoring aerial shots & cutaways, with a certain unnatural ( unnatural to the Indian mileau/culture) point of view, which is not reflected in the Indian society on average. A certain casualness about foul language, obscenity, adultery etc... all of which certainly has its place if the content is some gangster flick or deals with the seamier side of life. But even if the show is about say the education sector (eg. Kota Factory on Netflix ) - they manage to make it very Netflixy. I don't know how else to describe it. Lots of drone shots. Frequent focus on the abnormalities of the place. Its certainly more dramatic. But its mining for drama that isn't naturally present in the subject matter. I like parts of it but it becomes too much to take after a point. I have to consciously turn it off and walk away, shaking my head. They make a hash of it.
I don't doubt they have outlined when they will use them, I doubt that I trust humans to always follow a plan. Humans sometimes behave unpredictably, or even irrationally.
I feel like you’ve just ignored everything I mentioned, made up a bunch of hand wavy stuff and ended up with what might be actively the worst idea (multi-cloud) as a solution.

Not sure what to say in response here…
Empirically it is much easier to reason about and be confident of the correctness of the result, at least to me and to many people I have discussed the matter with.

I find it easier to reason in term of DAGs instead of all possible interleaved executions. The DAGs are stil dynamic and execution dependent, but you have to consider less combinations.

One you know that some algorithm violates the happen before relation is easy to go back and find the reordering that would cause it.
Yes, that's actually the biggest reason this is such a cool announcement! You just need to download the model checkpoints from HuggingFace[0] and follow the instructions on their Github repo[1] and and you should be good to go. You basically just need to clone the repo, set up a conda environment, and make the weights available to the scripts they provide.

Good luck!
Jacobin wrote a good analysis on the whole microloan industry a few years ago. it's not great...

Oh damn, I had forgotten about the sixty one. Spent so much time on it! Thanks for the nostalgia.
If by pod you mean my balcony overlooking the rocky mountains. I will.
Why would people want to consume art that says nothing and means nothing? While this technology is fascinating, it produces the visual equivalent of muzak, and will continue to do so in perpetuity without the ability to reason.
Agreed. But a good article should have shown an example rather than a counter example. Intel might have been a good example. A good article would have shown the competing incentives at play rather than a single incentive.
Thanks so much for the kind words. We have a huge set of write ups and presentations on our delta state CRDTs coming soon! Stay tuned!

I am diagnosed and was prescribed for ~3 years. I am honest with myself about it. I don't take it anymore because I wound up in a pattern of abuse.

I don't have a study, but the answer is yes, it definitely can boost productivity. But overall, a huge number of people take it for the high.
In the background of the video you can see Will County Generating Station, I spent a few years there in the 1980s writing software to record fire extinguisher inspections.

I knew about the barrier, I had no idea it was that deadly to humans.
Thanks, good to know. I’ve also realised that determining which form to use in mathematical formulas is maybe not that straightforward.

Edit: by which I mean that I’ve only seen the non terminal form so far in maths but it’s hard to write an algorithm that distinguishes between a word ending in sigma and some juxtaposition of Greek variables.
Sounds like you are cherry picking the science, for example here is a cherry picked article by the Mayo Clinic [0]

Moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits, such as:

- Reducing your risk of developing and dying of heart disease
- Possibly reducing your risk of ischemic stroke (when the arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow)
- Possibly reducing your risk of diabetes

Are you in Pakistan? What are things on the ground like?

> Visual or audio representations of the amount of data they're collecting are hardly an argument for why it's bad, as the logic goes "see, they're collecting a lot of data about your browsing... ...and that's bad" but it doesn't fill in the logical leap in the middle. You are going to be a lot more persuasive if you can fill that in instead of making fancy graphs.

But that just means the novel representations are a step forward, just not the whole solution.

Making the invisible visible creates a situation where people can start asking questions about that thing, instead of ignoring or being ignorant of it.

Files store information. Databases store information. Structuring data into folders and files to store data is not much different than structuring data in a file to store data.
Yes! This was especially obvious to me as a kid watching all the popular 90s sitcoms with my mom every evening.

ABC shows (oddly with the exception of Roseanne, now that you mention, that set really balanced it out) always had a bright, almost washed out look, eg Ellen, Boy Meets World, Drew Carey Show. NBC shows always looked more cozy and lived-in regardless of story location, eg Just Shoot Me, Friends, Seinfeld.

Unfortunately a speaker's content can also be auto-generated now, at least for brief enough snippets. And that means the content can (and will) be optimized to appeal to a target segment much more than has ever been previously possible.
I suspect that the real reason is that you are a Russian speaker, moving to Estonia to connect with all the new Russian emigrants that flocked there before and especially after 24 February 2022.

Being EU citizen, you can look them down, feeding your narcissism. You may also profit from their desperation as they are being pushed back to Russia because Estonia cancel their visas.

It's also a great moment to hit a girl or two that would usually be out your league.
> At most, we can say that Netflix chooses to buy a lot of middlebrow drama shows, and middlebrow drama shows today share a similar aesthetic

Exactly. The article did concede that there are other examples of the phenomenon, such as Hallmark. I would argue that Amazon has their own style as well.

As the article points out, video compression causes several aspects of the resulting appearance such as exaggerated edges, but that is shared across all streaming services.

It's not a Netflix-exclusive phenomenon.
The got their hands on the latest Nvidia GTX cards, aha I see. I hear new cards are on their way.
Molten salt loops are not as difficult with current technology as they were when they were first introduced.

There are some very interesting startups in this field working on delivering these reactors on an industrial scale rather than the "artisanal" reactors that dominate today:

Copenhagen Atomics [1] is one. They offer a molten salt loop for rapid prototyping [2] if you want to try it yourself.

Seaborg Technologies is also building a compact molten salt reactor. [3] They have a subsidiary, Hyme, to use the same molten-salt technology to provide grid-scale energy storage to balance electricity grids with variable generation from e.g. wind and solar power. [4]

I'd make a feature request for goodreads-style public lists. Anyone can start a list with a certain theme, anyone can add books to it out upvote them within the list. It's great for manually curated discovery.
Actually you can. Not sure what kind of algorithm drives this phenomenon but I personally run a couple of fairly active accounts with no phone number attached.
I'd rather just upgrade firmware by downloading it and using the usb port.
Not compltly accurate. It's true that the half-life of tritium is short compared to long lived actinides. However, like hydrogen, it diffuses very easily and it's not easy to contain. In fact, it's one of the few things emitted in the environment during normal reactor operations. As beta emitter, you are right that it's dangerous only when ingested, but it's very easy to breath of to get it from other ambient sources
That's great (for you), but there's no telling what "works like a charm" actually means, and no real way to tell if the specs as-advertised still match the specs-post-repair. This is also why Apple doesn't bother with board level repairs on an individual basis.

For some people, that measure or metric doesn't matter, and that's fine, but it by no means is a universal "see this is better" approach. And I say this as someone who does board level repairs. On iPhones. (and that mostly came about because people tried to replace the screens on their phones with the power on, blowing the backlight circuit)

Doing something as a one-off is nothing compared to doing something world-scale.
My point, which you missed, is that the USA is one of the bad ones not one of the good ones.

I am not sure there are any good ones, a tangential point.

This in the context of:

> But in this case we're simply exporting our values through soft power, money and influence

To Singapore. There are values from Singapore that the USA could do with, so the fact that Goldman Sachs gets to tell Singapore what laws to make - what if that shoe was on the other foot? What of "your values" need up dating - but wait. Never mind soft power. The USA has the Pacific Fleet (and another half dozen fleets) so fuck you and you values.
We have google now, and lots and lots of parenting blogs. Googling "3 across car seats" shows that Britax, Chicco and Graco, the big 3 in car seats, all make several extra narrow car seats for packing kids in to smaller cars. Diono was the first to focus on narrow seats, but there's a whole aisle at most retailers for them.
Or just people on the ground rattling a can of seeds. Or with guns. Etc.
