AI safety discourse is mostly still in 2000s, with outdated intuitions informing loads of rigid concepts specific to this time and community.

Large language models trained on cross-entropy loss for next token prediction aren't going to be dangerous per se, even in the limit - simply due to the nature of the objective and the distribution they are set to approximate.

We should make sure these powerful tools don't fall into a small exclusive set of power-hungry interests, though. Transformative tools such as these should benefit all of humanity and let it prosper.
I'm middle aged and obese.

It appears that it was indeed suboptimal for people younger and healthier than myself to take it.

It's a complex question that involved a lot of rumsfeldian known unknowns and unknown unknowns at the time and even now.

I respect your opinion and believe me, I would be "happy" if it were to happen (I do not own a home and have been squeezed by my rent going up 15%+ a year, even though as a techie I'm still in a privileged position).

But I do not think it will happen, there are too many people with too much cash who will be able to both weather a storm without selling their house AND scoop up inventory as it comes to the market.

A lot of people with 2.5% interest rates are laughing in the face of inflation right now, they effectively got paid to borrow money and they are raising rents on their investment properties like crazy. I know because I work at a FAANG and it's literally the water cooler conversation of the year. Nobody worries about RSUs having gone down 30%, they'll just hold.

This injects a judgement that I think is irrelevant. The impact on the environment does not depend on the REASON. It depends only on the ACTION.

Frankly, with that lead in, I am surprised the above poster did not go on to say: "We should focus on preparing to survive a massive climate change." That was certainly my take-away from the argument.

I look families in the eye everyday. Because I know. If you don't believe, fine! I don't expect anyone to, but do not be an asshole and stand in our way (Looking at you Mercury bank).
Of course a complete analysis needs something like kubecost running for a couple of weeks to determine where your peaks really are and a couple more for actual fine tuning, but i think its well worth it in the end.

Node autoscaling works best for me with buffer nodes depending on resources and having "one more than you need" is super easy in the cloud.

Dont get me wrong there is still plenty of room for improvenment, but the hard part is defenitly just finding out how much resources your app really needs.

And of course, the application needs to be able to handle scaling to begin with.
I think the next best step would be for you to be the boss that you always wanted to have and hope to attract minds that are like your younger self.
Here's my rules: if you're writing an API layer for your CustomerTransactions service then name it descriptively. If you're creating a tool to be wielded, name it creatively.

If your software is a "final product" which by definition can grow in requirements then it's best to use a creative name. So if you build a programming language, a build tool, a dependency analyzer, or any kind of software that has the shape of a tool; which the user can wield in a variety of ways. I'm glad we didn't call a hammer a NailPounder since it can do so much more.

> The recent proroguement of parliament of parliament showed that doing things that are "unconstitutional" in the UK can be done with impunity as long as the tutting is ignored.

IIRC, that's how an unwritten constitution is changed: someone does something without serious challenge, or some new thing that's demanded becomes so entrenched that there would be serious challenge to change it.

If all the opponents of "the recent proroguement of parliament" could manage is "tutting," they made the action constitutional by their inaction.

I'm not focusing on Russia, it's the opposite, I'm saying that it's time to forget that they exist.

I'm talking about the EU-US trade balance. In 2021 the EU exported 400 billion EUR worth of goods to the US, and only imported half as much. It's the other way around when it comes to services. This could be an opportunity for both side to catch up.

Loved the books as a kid and one of the first programs I wrote was a straight up port of one of the books into the computer. Lots of print and if then statements. I wasn't artistically inclined so none of the illustrations made it into the port. After a positive response from a few classmates I gave copies to, I thought about selling them but was crushed when my mother explained copyright to me.

One thing I noticed after reading a couple of the books was the gap between those written with a set world and those where the world state altered depending on your choices such as hearing a noise and if you open a door, you find out it is a ghost but if you go outside and look through the window, you find out it is an alien. I was torn because on one hand, it felt like the author was just making stuff up (which of course they were, it was fiction) but the different branches being so different made for more interesting reading when exploring the different possible outcomes.
It doesn't compress each image separately. Rather, it compresses its entire training set into one dense region of cartesian space. Each pixel of each training image is in there, scurnched up next to every other pixel of every other training image. It's like sardines in a can, except in thousands (?) of dimensions. You have no hope of calculating how much space it needs for that just by dividing the size of the model by the dimensions of images in pixels, like you did.

You can see that it has memorised all its training material very clearly in its ability to perform style transfer. You can ask it to geneate an image of Pikachu in the style of Vermeer. It can do that because it has memorised images of Pikachu and images by Vermeer in its weird compressed form and it can combine them by finding a point on a gradient between their representation in its memory.

If it didn't have memorised images of Pikachu, or images by Vermeer, how do you guess it could generate images of Pikachu or in the style of Vermeer? It's not magick.
If I can be cynical, they I'd say that it's quite clever strategy of Google to get people who actually care about the product and who can bring meaningful contributions, to work for free.

So they get paid only if the company is profitable, otherwise 5% max equity?

Sounds like it encourages a better economic system than the rich man's socialism of VC, which rewards people that can raise funds as opposed to achieving profitability.
nah, its not like that.

your "upi address", like "abc@sbi" is tied to that phone/sim card/bank.

if you change your phone or use a different app, that "handle" is reserved and not portable.

if you change your phone or lost it, just get a duplicate sim card, install a UPI app and get a new address.

Then trusted routes don't exist.

I don't think I would ever be willing to assert an intranet is free of untrusted devices.

> software must respect the user's choices

Software performing security functions generally should not give users (or even developers) choices where they are unlikely to understand the potential consequences. If someone can supply a "--insecure-tell-fvey-my-kinks" command line argument, fine, but otherwise no.

Any choice a user can freely make is one that they can be manipulated into making. Failing to protect them accordingly because of "stupidity and ignorance" is effectively social darwinism.

Please consider that most people don't have your level of technical sophistication, nor is it reasonable to expect them to.
I think that's fair. But I would say the article is about activity (shipping features fast) and so as a measure of activity commits per day is a decent proxy. Obviously the devil is in the details.

I would not judge an individual developer's productivity on commits per day, agree that would be foolish.
I'm starting to worry, I had a bet that Flex (Flash based UI component library) would be the future, then I got hyped by Ruby, then I fell in love with Scala, I'm worried about getting hyped about a technology again.
It's not so much trusting security because of language use as distrusting security because of language use. With the tools C gives you, it is impossible for multiple humans to write a large secure program. Rust doesn't guarantee security, but it gives you a fighting chance.

> why does everyone want computers to be faster when their sludgy brains are the weak point in the process?

Because unless I program in PHP or Quarkus, half of the time my brain isn't the weak spot.

Also, waiting for my computer to finish of what it is doing is an insane distraction.

And stopping my brain from going on tangents while I'm waiting for Spring Boot or React or whatever, that is often an actual job (although I am good at it and have a lot of tricks).

That said, I don't look for faster computers, I'm on plenty fast hardware.

But I do get somewhat mad at Windows for making git (or even a plain - but well optimized - HelloWorld in C#) use several hundreds of milliseconds (!) to complete.

So I use WSL now, but often I just install Linux so I don't have to deal with this enourmous waste.

How everyone else lives happily with systems that routinely use hundreds of milliseconds extra many times an hour, that is something I can't really understand.

Maybe it is easier to tolerate it if one hasn't experienced anything else?

Edit: and don't get me started on modern web browsers and modern web applications, even modern web applications from what is supposedly the smartest people on this planet. It is amazing how a few of them can bog down my i7 - even if I haven't used them for a long time and even if they are all in background tabs.

Internal meeting culture at most tech companies is absolutely unhinged. I didn't _really_ notice this until I started my own company. Before that I was an executive at a startup, and having a day full of meetings was par for the course. Now that I run my own company I can say that 99.99% (maybe 100%) of internal meetings are unnecessary. I'm using the word unnecessary instead of useless as I think internal meetings can be productive, but in almost every case can be avoided. Instead, rely on internal communication and writing to discuss ideas. The feedback isn't immediate, but it doesn't have to be. Decisions can be made quickly without having a meeting. You just have to set your company up so that they don't rely on quick decision making.

The reporter could've left out that they were toasting Sour Apple Martinis in a $2,000 limo, but she didn't, so we know they weren't somberly drinking from whiskey bottles.

Maybe that is why they were hiding. So someone else had to say something.

Technical safeguards against insider threats do not actually protect you from insider threats - the fact that your behavior is logged and you will get fired and sued into oblivion works very well.

Technical safeguards against insider threats protect your insiders. They give your insiders cover in situations where they might be coerced to do things.

When I was at G, I likely could have read some data from cloud customers with some social engineering and the permissions I had. It would have taken hours to get the first byte, and I would have been fired within 10 minutes if I did without a good reason. The fact that it would have taken hours and some social engineering would let me plausibly tell the police (or the Chinese government or the mob or anyone else), "no, I don't have access to that data." Twitter's engineers didn't have that cover.

The issue with Go is the implicit footguns you will inevitably hit.

Sure. In 2007 I started up a new label at http://doomlaser.com. Made a bunch of indie stuff as that scene was really starting to bloom.

Still working in games to this day.
> There is a person thinking about the prompt, typing in the prompt, painstakingly selecting the image that matches what they imagined in their head.

Which does make this a type of art. It just isn't the same form of art as digital painting, the same way painting a tree is not the same type of art as growing and 100 trees, choosing one of them and taking a photograph of it. Photography is definitely an art-form, but it's a different art-form from digital painting, even if the end result of the both of them can be a digital image. Not better or worse, but definitely different.
Short of swapping in a new image during the vertical blanking interval, you will never have a "flicker" free image. Any "flicker" that can happen from no double buffer can happen because of no vsync. This begs the question why you would ever want to show graphics in the terminal in the first place. I might be wrong, but in my experience most terminal emulators do not look like they can update the full screen 60 times per second. If everyone started doing graphics in the terminal, we will have to find what method can actually output fast enough, or create it and standardize it, and soon we will have a new graphics API that all terminal emulators must conform to or not, and a way for applications to detect whether the terminal supports it.

To the grandparent's point, though: she didn't even write about fashion. Even if she didn't write yet another news story, she seems like she was entirely prepared to write absolutely nothing.

The point is that 'digging holes in the ground' isn't inherently more secure than making sure that you can import fuel from other countries.

Both involve a certain amount of risk and uncertainty. Both require preparation and planning, and some degree of subordination of other national interests.

This is perhaps one of the lessons of the Ukraine conflict - Russia is still exporting gas to Germany and Germany is still importing it, despite diplomatic relations between the two countries being at a nadir. It's simply not in either country's interest not to carry on with the commercial relationship.
