> There is no ad model where you can justify paying that sort of money for random people at scale.

The ad industry wouldn't be interested in this for random impressions, but I'd be interested¹ to see how much different it would make for the average person² with full stalky personal history based ad matching enabled. They know who you are from your app profile and for the free rides the app could demand access to contacts/messages/other³.

Of course this would have great potential to cause embarrassment for some people in a taxi-sharing situation. I can see the reddit-thread-copied-by-buzzfeed-copied-by-everyone-else listicles of stories now, you'll not believe number 12!

[1] and not at all surprised to find someone has worked it out in detail and submitted a business plan if the numbers don't look atrocious

[2] the tech-savvy might be able to block the stalkiness, but the average person either can't or doesn't want to make the effort

[3] if not for regular rides, I can see a service offering one free ride in exchange for this access – Amazon offered me a £5 voucher in exchange for just the date of birth of my non-existent baby a while back (I'd been looking for something for a friend who is far less anti-child than I!)
Might well be profitable if it’s cheaper to ship a truck load once every couple week than dozens of individual packages every day.
> If we had a way of differentiating the wheat from the chaff

This is the key to AGI. We need verification systems, they can be a code execution environment, a database of facts, a math symbolic engine, a physical simulation, a game, or real world lab experiments. These verifiers will produce signal that can be used by the language models to improve. The cheaper and faster verification is, the faster we can iterate. Generating ideas is cheap, proof matters.

Just remember AlphaZero a bit - it started from scratch, playing against itself, in a few hours it surpassed human level. Go simulation and verification is trivial. The board is just a matrix. So learning from massive search and verification is a proven path to super-human level.

Do you care about the value of your purchase? If you spend, say, $150 on a scientific textbook, and then you cannot show it in public because you would look like a pirate, you should care.

And that is the best case of a readable, complete book. Maybe you get only the first 500 pages, or the figures are cut off, or it is a degraded scan of a printed book.

The problem is of course much worse for collectible books for which even getting an official reprint or a different edition instead of the real thing would be a problem.

Sounds exactly like the what the average person would think of crypto if it went mainstream.
Yeah, I really want this to happen.

I follow really interesting people for their thoughts about one topic (say, Movies), but whose tweets about topics like politics I really dislike (not necessarily things I disagree with, usually I just dislike the tone).

Shouldn't be too hard to fine tune a LLM to do this, definitely something worth a try.

I think the main reason isn't the shelter itself, but that being around a large number of fellow homeless people is dangerous because of the rampant mental health issues, drug abuse, and violent crime.

I've been thinking about similar things lately, and particularly I think about the 3 billion humans who have never used the internet. How will this affect them? And how do they interpret this existential crisis we are facing?

Additionally, when the internet is mostly created by bots, why would I go online to look up a recipe on a bot cooking blog that was generated yesterday when I could have my pocket bot generate a brand new, tailor made cooking blog for me whenever I want? Ditto for instagram/tiktok. Generate the next image based on how long I looked at the last one.

>loss of anonymity comes with significant drawbacks: criticizing government and powerful people becomes more difficult.

How don't see how making our lives more dystopian can be a net benefit.

How many of us expose different aspects of ourselves through different identities?
Maybe most people are happy to show everyone all aspects of their lives, but I'm not, in part because who I am could get me or the people I meet in trouble, harassed, imprisoned or worse in some places.

Anonymity should remain a fundamental right. We have the right to live and expose different parts of ourselves to different audiences without overlap.

Anonymity is also a counter-power to governments. A government that knows all about its citizen is bound to abuse this power.

We see it in many democracies; elected governments enact laws that restrict freedoms to keep itself in power (Russia of course, Turkey, Algeria, but also EU countries like Bulgaria). Tools like government-issued ID that become mandatory to express yourself online are doubly dangerous: they make it easy to target those who cause trouble, and they can be used to remove means of expression (who can listen to you if you are denied an ID and there is no freedom of press to expose the abuse?).
TBH, it is weird, if you say, EU coders can not use useful practice and tools but you can not tell, which.

I don't answer my phone -- if it's important, they'll text! Voicemail I run through and clean out once or twice a year. Leaving voicemails is something folks do just to feel retro anyway.

I'm probably a bit younger than you -- when I do clean out my voicemail, these days, it's usually just spam anyway. Even businesses send me text notifications as appointment reminders. Once in awhile it's my mom, out of an old hard to break habit, but even that hasn't happened in a year or two.

There's rarely good reason I should have to pause my podcasts just because someone wants to communicate.

This is coming, I've been thinking that you should perhaps start to be skeptical of any content created by accounts later than 2022.

Thinking of online reviews etc. where you don't have a proper log and can't follow a user properly.

They are really bad as is, but they could be made completely useless in a millisecond. Even proper reviews with images etc could be absolutely trivial to make and for $10 you could automatically generate rave reviews for your product and trash any number of your competitors.

We will probably need to identify users somehow, which will only serve the centralized FAANG version of internet that at least I despise.

> This leads to a selection more tailored to the local market, and more conservatively chosen – not in the political sense, but in the sense of what will sell vs. what publishers hope to make sell by placement.

I know what you’re trying to say here - that local booksellers will play it more safe than publishers who might support a new author for example - but I think this is a mistaken perspective.

First of all we are likely to see lots of small scale experiments where local booksellers will try different books based on their own instincts. That’s controlled risk taking and is likely to be less conservative than a global publisher.

Then they will be closer to their actual readers and so will have a better understanding of what new books / authors will work for their actual customers.

Finally this favours quality over other factors. If a local bookseller recommends a book they are putting their own credibility - and financial performance - on the line. They want readers to come back to their store rather than just sell that book.

I don't think I have ever had 1Password get entries wrong. Some sites seem to do something to block it, and every now and then 1Password doesn't enter the state for addresses (given the variety of user experiences for that, it's not surprising).
VISA and Mastercard have better balance sheets than Stripe. We have less financial disclosure from Stripe because they remain a private company. Buying shares of Stripe sounds reasonable if you are disillusioned by "tech" ideals and do not care about throwing money away. Go for it.

I would bet on VISA. This "tech" company idea of "disruption" is likely to be dismantled in 2023. Not to mention other "tech" hype mind games.

They're highly paid because they see a lot of patients, not because they read a lot of research

This just isn't true. A GP (General Practitioner) sees a lot of patients. The only realistic reason you can get seen by a GP in good time is because they tend to leave some slots open for more urgent things: The reason you can't get in to see a specialist on the same day (usually) is because they don't.

Specialists get paid more because they specialize: They won't know as much about curing everyday ills and they gave up on that when they specialized. Medicine is complex, and it only makes sense to have folks specialize in some things (like bones and neurology and whatnot).

We see the same thing with other professions, though not all pay more for different things. Knowing how to run an industrial kitchen (factory, large cafeterias, etc) is different from fast food, for example. Folks with knowledge of specialized systems get paid more, in general: This is your medical specialist.
I think every crypto wallet that is worth its bandwidth to download tries to educate users about the importance of keeping private keys secure.
I've been a huge fan of B&N since I stepped foot in the US and was one of the first people to rush to buy the nook color. Admittedly I haven't been visiting the stores since there's none that's close by to where I live but this post was refreshing to read. And I did learn about James Daunt in the process too.

Definitely earmarking to visit a store before the end of the year to grab a couple of good books.
E5-2637 (32nm) is from 2012, I can not encourage people enough to buy the last 1151 Xeons or 8 core Atom on Mini-ITX SuperMicro motherboard (might be hard to find new soon): In particular I have E-2124 (2018), E-2224 (2019) and A2SDi-8C-HLN4F (2017); all 14nm, those you'll probably never have to replace for peak performance... the only question is if you will be able to afford powering them without revenues (75W/25W)...

If you want to run all the streets in your city, there's loads of us using https://citystrides.com to track how many streets we've run (not affiliated, just a happy subscriber).

It's also a handy way of finding ways to contribute to OpenStreetMaps, you discover lots of little details that isn't mapped correctly on these runs.

unsurprising, 2021 lockdowns and production moving to Vietnam from China were huge contributors to this. Also a lot of workers coming back from wealthier countries due to weaker local currency: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04kfB_MKlQs&t=209s

Subpar science for their grift seems to sum up the entire covid response.

Surely as a biologist you must have asked some questions about the actual response.

- Easily manipulated case numbers from variable PCR cycle thresholds.

- The way the gold standard PCR test was designed.

- Barely tested vaccines rushed out and coerced onto the entire population.

- Every attempt possible to remove the control group.

- No decrease in all cause mortality in the Pfizer 6 month follow up.

- Very little effort made in monitoring adverse effects.

- Vaccination for previously infected people.

- Vaccinations pushed for healthy children, despite them being incredibly low risk for covid.

- Endless boosters suggested with no idea about potential long term effects.

- Zero effort to actually get people to be healthy through
nutrition exercise and vitamin supplementation.

- Everything within 28 days of a positive test is a covid death.

- Two doses + 13 days is unvaccinated in most reports.

- Censorship of opposing ideas from big tech and corporate media

It's not complicated to explain. The model can handle 4000 tokens at once. So all you can do is work with the limitations of this window. You can use part of it to quote the previous interactions, and part of it for the response. If your content is too large, you need to summarise it. There are AIs for that too. If the output is too large, you need to split it in multiple rounds. It is pretty hard to work around this limitation, for example to write a whole novel.

I think we need LLMs capable of reading a whole book at once, about 100K tokens. I hope they can innovate the memory system of transformers a bit, there are ideas and papers, but they don't seem to get attention.
Certainly this is within the reach of the tech.

What I'm afraid of is, this will dull people because the computer models would not have the fidelity of a real person(simply because only small portion of humans thoughts are expressed and even less recorder). Many people will prefer to interact with this shallow model of humans instead of real ones in similar manner of porn replacing real sex.

It will create armies of people who have no real skills with working or even interacting with humans. Representing people as avatars and a nickname already created huge issue with perfectly nice people forgetting that they are interacting with real people online, turning into huge jerks. I can imagine how horrible in could become when people are completely disenfranchised from reality.
Then why do you refer them as "best practice", can we use "common practice" instead?
An FPGA isn't much more interesting than an emulator for preservation.
That particular ministry was, of course, composed of those who’d been infected by rightly unpopular ideas that were allowed to grow and fester until the Overton Window had shifted to the far right, encouraged by parents and not sufficiently discouraged by the state.

A state of affairs that’s now pretty much been replicated, about a century after we first tried to learn the lesson that Fascism is a bad idea.
UPS for small devices is an untapped niche. I don't understand what's going on with that. There're thousands of huge 220V UPS devices in the market and there're almost none 12V UPS devices for tiny devices like routers, raspberrys, etc.

Some people use power banks for that, but that's not really proper use and some power banks don't allow seamless power switch.

I never said they were disabled. I just meant, they'd be less motile and likely to work on clothing, crafts, homesteading, care of the children, maybe even cooking and leading the tribe/group in religion and/or study. Given they'd have more experience and wisdom, it makes sense the elder of the family structure would be more closer at home to lead the way.
