Except that that's precisely what some Copenhagen Interpretation guys actually wanted to say; that the collapse of superposition didn't happen two days ago. Hence S's large-living-object example. You want to be sensible, they (according S) didn't. Their "lack of sense" tends to force them to many-worlds views.

But Einstein and S's being sensible pushed them towards thinking entanglement couldn't be a real thing. Although their best default position is to toss up their hands and say that there's gotta be a non-local hidden variable we just haven't found yet. But there are no candidates, as yet. (Unless you like Bohm, I suppose.)
> What kills people is current, not voltage.

From an engineer here, let's not continue this dangerous trope.

High voltage breaks down resistance and allows current to flow. Current can only flow in the presence of voltage.

Proof:

A 1V 1000A power supply won't kill any one and won't give a shock. A 2000V .001A power supply might give quite a shock on the other hand, and depending upon any capacitance in the supply might just as well prove fatal.

I guess for people here still remember the value proposition as being "cheaper than a hotel"

If I'm on vacation I want to relax in a house, not a hotel. Hotel's are for sleeping to me. I guess that's fine if you just get up and go do touristy things all day. Feels weird to me that people think of hotels and airbnbs as solving the same problem.
I do manage Kubernetes with Terraform. I'm not a fan of Helm, however it is useful due to the community of available charts. Since I use Terraform to manage most everything else, I typically wrap the chart in a Terraform module too. This lets me do other things I usually need, such as creating IAM roles or other associated resources that the chart requires. Sometimes this means using the Kubernetes provider to add something needed by the chart, for example pulling a password from SSM or somewhere and creating a Kubernetes Secret from it.

The benefit is being able to build full stacks with only Terraform without needing to orchestrate multiple tools together. Building the cluster itself is done with Terraform, as is deploying the charts and other resources I need to build a "base system", all from a single root module. This also simplifies CI/CD as I only need a simple template to run IaC jobs and they all follow the same pattern of just running Terraform and not much else.
Thanks for posting that, that's very interesting. I'm curious as to how the 1997 strike mentioned in the article worked then. I would think that strikes in employee- owned companies would have very different dynamics than in public or closely-held private companies.
It's not about 100 easy autopilot trips, it's about 1001 trip where you as human can easily see what to do but AI will interpret reality wrong because it was not trained to handle that edge case and you will die.
I had a chance to use LAMDA a few times. In my experience, LAMDA produces a slightly better outcome (less BS basically) but not a fundamentally different level. I guess MS won't be the only player in the league.
Don’t think you understood correctly. The account was created under new @icloud.com email. I didn’t want to add the gmail and only did it to try to rescue my account after my @icloud stopped working for login inexplicably. What’s the logic behind making someone wait 30 days to remove a 3rd party Gmail from their AppleID account settings? And what’s with the clear UX language mistakes / incorrect information / glitches / complete lack of any explanation / on such highly critical interface components like the iOS Update iCloud Email screen, the iOS/macOS Enter Your Password popups, and even on the iCloud web login too?

In any case, it’s fucked up what Apple is doing here: scaring the shit out of people making it appear as if their username & password is invalid(+device bricked), when in reality your account inexplicably got put in some strange limbo status. (making it seem like you got HACKED)
The people responsible for Civ 6 are advertising multiplayer online play in an effort to take your money, while investing the least amount of money to say they delivered the feature. They are just milking the Civ franchise for all they can.

Compare this to Amazon AWS, YouTube, the iPhone, Microsoft Excel. These products make a ton of money and the companies that own them invest heavily.
Somehow I don't think that will go as well as you hope it would.
The brand in general is incredibly weak now. When I use Google it feels cluttered with ads and useless results. Using GPT was such a relief. I use it 75% versus Google 25% for data science hobby projects.
>Seriously, would you be willing to live on the 6th floor of a building where the only way out in a fire is a single staircase?

I think the argument is: adding a second staircase means creating a large hallway, which might make it easier for the fire to spread.

I don't see why we shouldn't look at statistics. If something is statistically safer, wouldn't we want that?
I think that is a net positive. The main problem with those plastic bags isn’t the amount of plastic. It is much less than most of the packaging of the goods that go in them. The problem is that those flimsy bags get into places they shouldn’t and gum up the works. They get into storm drains and block runoff. They get into the waterways and other outdoor environments and animals try to eat them and find their digestive systems blocked.

Those heavier bags are much less likely to blow away and get into the environment. They are more likely to be reused as trash bags and/or just thrown into controlled trash collection.
It would be incredible if a chat gpt competitor came into the self host able, open source, niche like stable diffusion.

The options I've seen today are no where near as good as chat gpt
I highly doubt chatgpt is even remotely near being a lawyer. Lawyering is all about logical argument from a specific context and nitpicky details, which chatgpt is known to be bad at.

Anyways it probably should be illegal if someone is selling "legal services" but not doing it properly for the same reason that if a dr just did what chat-gpt said, that should also be illegal.
It'll be extremely telling to see how they handle the introduction of AI in the coming years. Lawyers could very well find themselves being the first group of truly upper crust white collar professionals decimated and yet they also have the highest potential for protectionism. This is really shaping up to be the most spectacular tech vs establishment fights we've seen in a long while.
Imagine the Iraqis had this capability in 1991. It would have been a completely different outcome. In 30 years, the ground war has completely changed. In another 30 years, what will it be?

I'm sorry but I'm unable to take anything nick land says seriously anymore

But in general I don't think I'm taking the permanence of twitter or fb for granted - they both fill a clear need and I don't see any new players emerging to dominate the niche they fill (mastodon is not going to replace twitter)
Nov 2022 it was. Seemed like everyone was having covid, and so was I. The idea came up in a Discord discussion, so I decided to go for it. Later I added the syntax highlighting and file naming. I also added a little extensible header system so that I could add more features in the future without breaking old URLs. Now I'm thinking maybe I should allow extra long URLs (>2048) if the user requests so, they seem to be supported in Chrome/Firefox/Safari...

ChatGPT is one of those few technologies that:

1. Competes against and destroys Google's primary profit center (search).

2. Google cannot copy, improve, and give away for free to use as a moat without severe collateral damage to itself.

There's very little incentive to use a search engine to find an ad ridden website to answer a question when one can ask ChatGPT directly for a much better response.

Google is rightfully terrified, Pandora's box has been opened. ChatGPT may not be the eventual sole winner of this AI text knowledge base revolution, but it's very hard to imagine a viable necessary advertising model for this technology.
What is their sincere interpretation of "Open" in "OpenAI"? Their models are not distributed publicly, correct? Do they describe the network characteristics and training data openly? Where's the "open" part?

EDIT: I just read their charter and it describes "benefit of humanity" (laudable if feasible for them to deliver on it) but nothing about openness.
^ I actually think we spend too much time on arithmetic, and should let students use calculators starting earlier than we do.

But, yes, calculators shouldn't always be allowed, and neither should ChatGPT. But, well, "plagiarism" is never allowed, so IMO the distinction matters!
I asked GPT and it gave multiple examples of where AI has played ping pong.
Er, so most of those supposed problems sound like you could fix them by just using unprivileged users jumping through the jump server via `ssh -J`/ProxyJump? Or a VPN, which is pretty close to what it sounds like the product they're trying to sell is anyways. And if you're going to try and sell a Teleport competitor, you really should do a better job convincing me that it's going to actually be secure in the first place. I don't see source code or audits anywhere on this website.
Switch MacOS Terminal "Homebrew" from green to orange (the amber one), fix the highlight, and switch the cursor to whichever is most nostalgic. Also set font to e.g. Andale Mono and window to something like 132x80. Make this your default.

Tada, amber from the 80s. Among the first changes I make on a new Mac.
More specifically: Pripyat and the original exclusion zone evacuated. Slavutych [1] was subsequently constructed to support the nuclear power plant after the disaster. Because again, Pripyat had no harbors, and no real economic value other than supporting the power plant. So it was simpler to just construct a new city.

For devices like the Somu I could see it be useful for locking the device if a certain shock occurred. For example, someone snatched my laptop at the coffee shop. Something Ross Ulbricht probably wishes he would have had.

I wonder about the spam problem as well. Blocks will not work.

I have a feeling that Hashcash could be a solution, and where instances do not participate in it you could slow their connections in. Just an idea though.
I'm wondering if this is even real. The Daily Dot link seemed to have no fact checking and the original source, an unsubstantiated TikTok video was already taken down.
Maybe giving them a git GUI rather than commands to run would be better. You have to merge their work somehow. Limiting the commands they can use would be helpful. You might consider using Bitbucket, which has much better branch & operation permission capabilities, like being able to block force pushes based on branch naming patterns

tl;Dr this sounds like a people / process issue more than a tooling issue. Try to understand why they feel so rushed that they don't slow down to do it the right way. I suspect certain (anecdotal) cultural traits endemic in hardware companies.

Pure historical legacy. Today they are Open to all monetization avenues.
It can be replicated, it's basically clever fine-tuning of GPT-3 with human assistance. Google has model that can do what ChatGPT can for some time already.
There are open source / OS model-based projects competing with OpenAI’s text generation. At least one, NovelAI, also has a Stable Diffusion fork incorporated into their paid product.

At least so far none of them are close to what’s been achieved with ChatGPT, and that could in itself be driving some of the hype. ChatGPT was probably more impressive to me on the first impression being familiar with the limitations of existing AI text gen projects.
Although I'm something of a computing hobbyist myself, I think having academic interests and hobbies outside of computing is very beneficial.

If he might end up working in computing, I think it's even more valuable to explore other interests and activities in college and beyond; he'll spend more than enough time sitting at a keyboard for work.

The comments that we don't criticize other professions for not devoting enough leisure time to their work discipline are also spot on.
Who owns the AI you would use if not some corporation?
Consider trying to get an online second opinion from a hyper-specialist doctor at a fancy research hospital. For my own recent medical foibles, I have found it extremely easy to get second opinions at any hospital because now consultations for illnesses that don't necessarily require a physical examination can happen online. Furthermore, records transfer has gotten pretty painless. So perhaps once you've found an interesting paper or find a specialist at a prestigious research hospital, try to get your mom an online consultation with them. It doesn't even have to be nearby you!

I wish you and your mother the best. Over 20 years ago my mother succumbed to Ovarian cancer but there have been so many advances in cancer treatment since then it's a much better time.

I took the bar exam. I passed, but it was Illinois, which has low standards and high passage rates. Take that for what it is.

On the essay portion, the scoring is about 1/3 focused on knowing the legal doctrine that is being tested, and 2/3 on the structure, clarity, and style of the response. (State the law, analyze how the law applies to the facts presented, assess the strength of the counterargument, come to the conclusion, go back and state the conclusion at the beginning.). In Illinois, the passing score is about 65%, so in theory you could pass the essay part while knowing no law at all.

Of course, you will not do so well on the multiple choice. I believe a skilled test taker with no law knowledge could triangulate answers to get to around ... 33%?

Of course, with statistical learning, and enough data, you could train an LLM to pass the bar.

Honestly, given how robotic studying for the bar exam was, I am only surprised it took until 2022-3

Could not agree more.

But my feeling is that there is far too much money sloshing around naively trusting in fortune 500 managements when owners ought to be much more proactive. There is room for more active ownership and capital management.

So about 1 in 30(ish) if we assume they accounted for nonreporting. If we assume they underreported by 10x, 1/300 is still pretty bad odds

Being advertised as a "multi-user" OS, I assume this is not meant for me to noodle around at home and maybe share my PC with a few family members. That said, who is the target audience for something like this? The author's website and Github pages are very sparse in details. Is this even meant for other people to use, or is it just a longstanding hobby project?
With the exception of AWS, do you believe that any of the examples you cited are not “just milking the franchise for all they can”?

They give access to text-davinci-003 and code-davinci-002 models through their API which are strongly related.

But they have done massive amounts of refinement and continue to do so I believe. But I think the amount the refinement has helped improve may not be as much as you would think. For example I think a big part of the refinement is the guardrails.

I think it’s even more granular than that. I’m in Los Angeles and we have pretty good UPS delivery where I am. Not perfect, but not too bad. But a few weeks ago, Staples sent us the wrong item, and instead sent us like 25 pounds of industrial soap that was clearly intended for an office to our home, and didn’t send us something they were supposed to.

So we contacted them, they sent us a UPS label, I printed it out, went to the UPS website and told them to pick it up. It was pre-paid, and they agreed to pick it up between 9:30AM and 5:00PM that day. But they never did. So I figured they’d come the next day. Nope. So I called and they said it had been picked up. I had to explain that, no, I was looking at it right now. It’s definitely still in my home. So they set up pickup for the next day and said, “But we’re going to have to charge you for it.” I said, “Well, I’m not the one paying for it, Staples is, so go nuts.” They never showed up. In the end, I drove to the local Staples (not the one it was supposed to be sent to), which also does UPS shipping and just had them take it for UPS.

So where I am delivery is pretty good, but pickup is complete trash. I think it’s just the luck of the draw and the number of packages they have to deliver on a given day vs. the number of drivers available.

The highest bidder will generally always be making the most favorable assumptions of the future, some of which will turn out to be wrong.
Exactly. It's so embedded in the design of their system that it can't just be a known numbers-gaming scenario perpetrated by drivers and delivery center managers to try to avoid dropping below some performance target. Hence my belief that the first scenario is more probable, that it's an outright fraud perpetrated by upper management.

That hasn’t been my experience; quite the reverse.

Programmatic IaC made it a lot easier to:

- turn our inventory DB into a IaC deployment for a hybrid cloud that needed IOT shadows per datacenter device

- shard our data processing pipelines to localized data centers so we can respect data protection laws

- automatically compiling infrastructure definitions directly from programs, to run as “cloud binaries”

What do you imagine the challenges at scale are?
>A 1V 1000A power supply won't kill any one and won't give a shock.

It very well could if the frequency is high enough. The skin is like a capacitor which acts like a short circuit at high frequency. DC is much less dangerous than AC at the same current/voltage for this reason.
