Obviously they should teach it the deep and complex history of institutionalized racism through, slavery, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, red lining, and the prison industrial complex that has led to a massive wealth and education gap. But low key that would also scare the average middle class American too hard, so probably better off to just do intense internal censors to avoid difficult thoughts
Its funny because my experience has been the exact opposite. I have sold three cars to them in the past 2 years (long story) and all of them were several thousand above what other dealers in the area or carvana/shift/vroom were willing to pay. Every time I got one of their offers I was like, "Huh. Ok".

However in buying cars from them, everything seems a overpriced compared to the local market.

My understanding of it is that they make money by doing used car arbitrage. They knew they could make money on the cars I sold them by shipping them across the country. And I think people are willing to pay a little more to buy a car from them because of all of the guarantees and how painless it is.
Unless you're a senior executive, it's unlikely you'll get whole percentage points for a post-PMF startup...

Just looked on OptionImpact: Senior-most individual contributor (SWE 6) at a post-SeriesA startup indicates a 50th percentile equity grant at 0.28%. If you go all the way up to 90th percentile, you get to 1.1%. Beyond SeriesB+, there are no full-percentage point grants for IC Software Engineers. Managers & Directors have similar equity grants post-SeriesA.

CTO post-SeriesA is 1.5% (50th) and 3.75% (90th). VP Eng is
0.8% (50th) and 2.1% (90th). So even as an exec, whole percentage points aren't a foregone conclusion.

YMMV, but that's the data.

It seems like a common reaction to large language models failing to be controlled is to fret about the AI "escaping" and taking over the world.

But it seems like the reason these models can't be controlled currently is that they really don't have overall goals or motivations, they're just repeaters of associations on a high level. Their output is just an average of what text would some sequence of text (that being the default prompt and the previous dialog, not necessarily that order). They can certainly seem to understand things but that's just an average - they turn around and contract themselves on a regular basis.

Edit: I don't think that necessarily LLMs are always benign but the "becoming autonomous" situation seems like the least immediate danger I can think of.
One theory for why we seem to structurally “need” low rates now is due to the “tendency of profit to fall” the natural interest rate - what it would be without the fed - has also fallen. Over the long run the Fed gravitates towards the natural rate because it creates the most stable business environment.

The major structural phenomenon which prevents the tendency for profit to fall is technological innovation which creates disruption and temporary periods of higher profits due to things becoming more efficient. However, now that technological progress is quite far along, a lot of employment is in service fields which naturally cannot be made much more efficient (eg teaching, being a nurse).

I don’t entirely buy into all the Marx concepts but I do think the tendency for profit to fall is an inevitability in a stable, functioning free market as efficiency and competition drive down margins. This causes ROIC to lower
You can even change that to:

#define BLA_DEFAULTS .a = 23, .hello = "Hello World!"

struct bla_t blub = {
BLA_DEFAULTS,
.a = 42,
};

...because C99 allows designated initializers to show up multiple times, but that's all a bit too much macro magic for my taste, I'd really prefer the defaults in the struct declaration.
It certainly would be interesting if layoffs were random, rather than specific individuals (like Roman decimation). If the CEO knew that there were good people that they knew at equal stake in the 20%, it would change the entire dynamics of the decision.

Twitch isn't doing so hot.

Twitch recently lowered their payouts (again) [1], making streamers and creators furious. More blood from the stone.

Twitch is bad for discovery, and they're continually losing creators to YouTube(Gaming).

Amazon doesn't report all of the key financials from Twitch, but it's expensive to support infra for everybody who wants to be a streamer. Only the top 1% draw an appreciable audience, and the ads cater to a demographic that doesn't have substantial disposable income.

If Amazon didn't have other interests in gaming (Luna, their own MMOs and game studios, etc.) that synergize well with Twitch, they would probably cut the losses.

As a comparison, Reddit recently cut their own streaming product [2].

TL;DR - Homelessness is a supply and demand problem.

The next hurdle seems to be that supply and demand itself is governed by market forces. No one is going to build affordable housing in areas where supply is already high, thus making them attainable. They’re building them in high-demand areas which means they’ll be competitive and make money.

Am I missing something here? This doesn’t seem obvious other than the cause. Solving market forces seems a lot more difficult.

It's one thing to link to online content. They also provide a download script to then turn the links into realizable images.

This defense, that they merely provide links and not images, is the thin layer of abstraction that their entire ethics case is built on top of. They give you everything needed to create massive datasets of human data without doing it for you.
People get cynical when they’ve been duped a hundred times on a hundred different things. I’d blame media more than users.

Your thinking — that the curator isn't important, and the artist is the one worthy of celebration — makes sense when the bottleneck is in creating and not curating. But we are entering a new period where the bottleneck will be curation. Young people will celebrate brilliant curators and other kinds of creative meta artists.

It is important to understand the reasons for why we value things a given way, instead of what you are doing which is just extending the status quo thinking uncritically.
For difficult topics, just say that the filter prohibits this etc
Building Games with DragonRuby – A free book on Ruby game dev
I wrote this free book on how to make games with Ruby using the DragonRuby Game Toolkit. As I've been learning the engine, I've felt really inspired by how quickly I can prototype my ideas and release them for all the major platforms. DragonRuby GTK is a really interesting use of mruby and SDL. To see Ruby be used for anything other than Rails is always exciting. I thought maybe this book would nudge others interested in Ruby game dev to take the plunge. Would love any feedback! Thanks.
But playing football or basketball is that easy. I have the same objection about football, so many people love watching it, but relatively few of them play. I never understood why, if you love something, surely it is a lot more rewarding to play it yourself. Local kids in my area play basketball almost every evening, I regularly see them coming from work. How is that different from computer games?

Probably because a bunch of these databases, and odbc, predate http and "web services" by many years.
The use case is: Enough drives failed that your raid is degraded. Any more data you write is not replicated and it may be due to software/hardware issue that will kill more drives soon.

It's up to you to choose at that point - is availability more important for you (add degraded to fstab), or data consistency (deal with the array first).

Jobs, while far more competent than Musk, was also a bit of an arsehole, in fairness. Not as much of an arsehole, but not a nice guy.
I agree. Simple does not always mean lazy. Simple comments can be clear and concise, facilitating understanding for others. Also, simple comments can be easier to respond to and can help keep the conversation moving.
The same way, we control non-sentient untrusted code: put it in a sandbox, control access to compute and memory and IO.

Even if an AI could think, reflect, improve itself, etc, it still needs some place where those changes in the AI's state are stored - the equivalent to long-term memory in humans. I think we can already retain a lot of control by keeping tabs on what an AI is allowed to update and when to "reset" it to the initial state after training.

There are quite a few battery chemistries now that don't involve any cobalt. And the ones that do can get their cobalt from more reputable sources than the mining industries founded by colonial powers in Africa. (often backed by big oil and mining corporations). Cobalt and other minerals were mined long before lithium ion batteries came along, for example.

For all the crocodile tears about children mining cobalt, it's easy to forget how other industries can be just as bad or much worse. Of course, critics of batteries are laser focused on only and exclusively criticizing how bad things are when it comes to batteries and literally nothing else whatsoever.

I mean, do you want to talk about oil? Or coal? Or copper? Or uranium? Nasty industries, each of them. Especially oil. Lots of environmental destruction, poor working conditions, the occasional bit of genocide or sponsored corruption, wars, etc. Mining and oil/gas industry just are a nasty. Especially when everybody just accepts it as normal and looks the other way.

We will likely see a moderation system ala karma granting more access based on some social measure of 'responsibility'. In other words, OpenAI can bake in user assessment (which they may already have) and speak according to the perceived level of the user, which may be a simple static tiered system mapping to the assessment of user made by the AI itself. [Consider how e.g. a hot geopolitical topic is discussed in wonk journals vs what is "fit to print" for the uninitiated. The former are always far more nuanced.]

p.s. i.e. there will be an ever present 'dang' AI watching over the conversation - the AI moderator. This can instruct the answering AI to set the user-level discourse setting.
In retrospect, the never in my previous comment was certainly an overstatement. While I agree with your reasoning, there is often a distinction between technically correct use of language, and what the hearer is likely to understand from what is said.

It seems to me that the actual Pluralsight created courses were high quality, but I think their acquisitions diluted that.
This is why websites like Twitch do well, they're game agnostic which will be the same for esports, the same way that the success of a movie is defined through its viewers.

Esports will grow, but not because of one game, but because of many games coming and going in popularity over time.
Show HN: ChatGPT - My Learning Cheatsheet
Was really interested in learning how to improve productivity and learn new things. Here's sort of what I've seen so far.

Probably the killer app is around text processing (idea generation, summaries, boiler plait text, etc). Another one is skill development, basically asking it to write you a step-by-step tutorial on something you're interested in learning. This is honestly what I wish google was, my normal workflow is having 10+ tabs open when learning something, this drops is down to a tailored tour at the correct skill level.

If you've found something cool please let me know!
> Solar and batteries are already cheaper than fossil fuels in most markets.

This is false. This has only ever been shown to be true in extremely narrow edge cases where the batteries only needed to last overnight in extremely sunny locations.

For solar+batteries to be cheaper they need to be large enough to power through weeks/months of cloudy/snowy/leafy/rainy weather in places that are at least near higher latitude locations.
Companies cannot control their "AI" because their output is beyond the scale of their ability to QA.

BTW, this is precisely why companies also cannot control the moderation or content of their networks. The number of people posting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. is well beyond their ability to perfectly QA the content they host.

If either were forced to be responsible for their products -- the content they host or the "AI" they ship -- their financials would look dramatically different and entirely unappealing. And the number of competitors and choices we would have would be remarkably less.

This is probably more a discussion about output-per-worker, technology scaling the volume of products a finite number of individuals are able to produce, and their corresponding ethical and legal responsibilities when they do so. Forget AGI and sentient machines: the problem is the amount of responsibility people and corporations have for the products they ship. That's more pertinent and just as impactful when dealing with Facebook or Scott's hand-wringing about "murderbots".
A human would answer this by talking about the history of intelligence testing, the relevant biases, how factor analysis plays a role and how easy it is to manipulate outcomes in factor analysis if you feed your model with biased data. Question whether IQ scores are an accurate measure of intelligence, and whether intelligence can at all be defined as a single metric, and what use it has doing so. Then with all that caveats and biases in mind simply answer the question.

In modern psychology difference in IQ among racial group is only difficult and uncomfortable statistics because it demonstrates years of scientific racism that thrived inside the field.
You don't have much faith in an artist if you think you can "duplicate their style" by looking at 4-5 512x512 images of their work.

That's not the AI "copying their watermarks", it's the AI learning "sometimes images have watermarks" and giving them some of its own.
> Globalization will live on, but only for countries who align themselves with the West.

I think your treating 'globalization' as equivalent to 'American-style liberal democracy' in your last sentence there.

If only a hemisphere of the globe is 'globalized' than clearly the term has become disconnected from any literal meaning at that point. Both democracies and autocracies are increasingly de-globalized at the moment, its a statement about the network and not the nodes on it.

Although not yet directly comparable to the surveillance state that the CCP has created, there are have been highly successful forces within our own government to generate and implement systems of oppression within the United States. There is a definite inclination among regime elites to favor more centralized control of the public.

Just recall efforts to nationalize voting, policing, housing, and the internet. To say nothing of the covert surveillance or the plans to phase out non-digital transactions in order to curtail 'money laundering', or the gentle reminders of the IRS that they will pursue ever smaller transaction amounts. Or even the sword of 'regulation' that hangs over the head of social media companies should they not heed the _"""advice"""_ of executive agency functionaries.

It may be less formalized than China, but there can be no mistaking the current of this undertow.

I don't understand how these pills end up in gas stations. they're not legal! legal to buy, sure, because they don't contain scheduled drugs (and tianeptine isn't an analog of a scheduled opioid), but you can't sell synthetic chemicals as dietary supplements without FDA approval!

like, kratom is fair game because it's a plant, and natural products aren't regulated. but tianeptine doesn't grow on trees.

it just seems so brazen that the company is up front about it being tianeptine and selling it commercially on a gigantic scale. how are they not shut down?
I've never seen or even heard of a computer-based corporate training course that wasn't an absolute joke. I don't think quality of material and instruction are any factor whatsoever in those purchasing decisions.

> Engineering that makes no sense though if you can't get a high Q factor out of the ignition itself, hence the focus.

You do realise that the fusion reaction we're talking about lasted for less than a trillionth of a second in a miniscule area, while other practical designs are aiming for continuous operation in the half hour range to examine practical engineering challenges of particular reactor configurations?

A high Q-factor may be completely useless if the underlying concept doesn't work for actual power generation and one might be easier to achieve than the other (i.e. getting a continuously working reactor first and tweaking it to improve Qp). The question therefore becomes, what's the actual value of the result. The article doesn't even touch on that, while even some C-grade online publications provided context like that.
