The internet was just colonised by bland NPCs and everyone interesting is now on the dark web. The reason why you don't see them here today is the same reason why you didn't see them in the NYT in 2003, you can't make money off ads when you're out of the Overton window.

Given that heat pumps and other technologies have proven themselves quite well at this point it is not a bad idea for SF to lead the country on this one and shows that one can electrify most stuff (if not all stuff)
The intended audience of other ML developers and data scientists will likely be more familiar with Anaconda[1] than docker. I recommend starting with miniconda[2] which will install just the packages needed to run this project (as declared in that environment.yml file), whereas Anaconda is a giant batteries-included install.

My take is that the world is a massive place with countless atrocities and bad things happening. It is impossible for a single human to actually "care" for all these issues besides sweet nothings "thoughts and prayers" and maybe a donation of a 100$.

Instead, I orient myself to my local circle, strata, whatever you want to call it to something I can care for and manage. I recently funded a few tickets for my local highschool for a science trip for instance. I give money to a local shelter I like to stop by and say hey to. I do a lot of things for a circle I've deemed mine to care about.

So it sounds mean or rude not to care, but it's what everyone is doing. No one just wants to admit it. Champion a few causes that you can handle and let your taxes take care of what you can't.
I haven't looked at DirectX 12's documentation, but I really should. Khronos Group's Vulkan Samples are broken out of the box, crash on a fresh build, and the Hello Triangle API sample crashed when you minimize it. It's just a shitshow.

Alexander Overvoorde's Vulkan Tutorial is in my opinion, the de facto practical documentation for a first pass Vulkan implementation, but he also does some small things wrong that you just should not do in a production application.

It took me over 700 lines of C for a minimal replica.[1]

I'm not a fan of Vulkan not having a built-in compiler for shaders compared to OpenGL. I'm sure there's a superior technical reason for it, but I don't care because it's ruined my development experience, and reintroducing the behavior requires a sizable increase in CMake dependency overhead.

While I share the sentiment for OP but at the same time I am feeling the excitment for what it will bring us next.

I guess after 2-3 years of "Web3"(when it isn't)/Metaverse. The feeling of some tech that really changed the world have finally manifest itself and I am lucky to witness them.

Copyright durations are honored by all the signatories of the Berne Convention.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

> The Berne Convention requires its parties to recognize the protection of works of authors from other parties to the convention at least as well as those of its own nationals. For example, French copyright law applies to anything published, distributed, performed, or in any other way accessible in France, regardless of where it was originally created, if the country of origin of that work is in the Berne Union.

> In addition to establishing a system of equal treatment that harmonised copyright amongst parties, the agreement also required member states to provide strong minimum standards for copyright law.

> ...

> The Berne Convention states that all works except photographic and cinematographic shall be protected for at least 50 years after the author's death, but parties are free to provide longer terms, as the European Union did with the 1993 Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection. For photography, the Berne Convention sets a minimum term of 25 years from the year the photograph was created, and for cinematography the minimum is 50 years after first showing, or 50 years after creation if it has not been shown within 50 years after the creation.
Are you making some sort of point, or just dumping content?
These trains are over 3 miles long. This is to amortise the overhead of staffing? The locomotives and their cost scale linearly with the train, but the engineers do not?
Thanks for the link.

May I say, I am SHOCKED at how much they have been able to accomplish. Incredible. I'm sure it's not all rainbows but the demos were amazing.
Good satire; thought it was real until I got to “We don’t know how our AI systems work, we don’t know what they can do,”

I look forward to the stupid phase of mistakes with AI. Because it surely has to be better than the past decade of free money devoted almost exclusively to advertising optimization and tightening of controls.
I was a teenager in the 90's and don't remember it being particularly boring. There was plenty of TV & movies, video games, teenage shenanigans, school clubs, etc. I suppose video games had kind of a golden age in the 90's with the 4th (SNES) and 5th (PS1, N64) console generations, and PC games like Doom, Quake, Blizzard's first games in their franchises, etc. On second thought without all that I would have been a lot more bored.
> Is prompt injection even a problem worth worrying about?

It depends what API access the AI has. If it's just a chat bot, prompt injection can only reveal facts about its language model. But if the AI has POST access to something, depending on what it is, prompt injection can set off arbitrary human-caused disasters.

The same internet technology that empowers AI also empowers weird self-published stuff like this. The author should reflect on that.
Absolutely, that bullshit is 300% unwarranted regardless the circumstances.

I'm arguing that complaining about lack of compensation is stupid and hypocritical after you have explicitly waived such compensations.
Yes, Dijkstra invented the semaphore, but that "solved" synchronization about to the extent that John McCarthy inventing the linked list "solved" data structures (or FAANG hiring, for that matter).

I wanted to give Windows/WSL another try, but unfortunately installing WSL on a clean install of Windows 11 gives a blue screen of death boot loop on my laptop. Seems to be related to this 3 year old bug: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4784
She should also mention the names of top executives at the company, the names of relevant officials, and how to contact all of them.
You don't build an AI search engine by just letting users query the model directly and call it a day.

Have you ever built an AI search engine? Neither have Google or MS yet. No one knows yet what the final search engine will be like.

However, we have every indication that all of the localization and extra training are fairly "thin" things like prompt engineering and maybe a script filtering things.

And given that despite ChatGPT's great popularity, the application is a monolithic text prediction machine and so it's hard to see what else could be done.
I dunno,

I rather enjoy standing in the dark for 45 seconds while I toggle my phone’s wifi on and off and wait for my Hue app to try connect and then agree to a surprise 80 page EULA and a lecture about how Philips cares about my privacy so I can turn on my bathroom light to take a piss. If I could just flip a switch I might get used to the convenience and not really appreciate the whole procedure as much.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a million lines of code between you and your lightbulb.
Yeah, it was one of the main reasons I signed up with my company. They don't pay the most but they care for us more than any comapny I've worked for in my life.

Their old engine. I just posted this because it’s the first instance I’ve run into in the wild where an engine gave an answer based off likely ai generated content. The content here gives the vibe of gpt 2 generated stuff.

It’s a topic of interest to me because there’s a tipping point coming where ai generated content easily outweighs the volume of non ai generated stuff. And I’m curious of the implications of that coming change
Not sure the context on that tweet... that's three tokens from the string `1. Sydney`, so it doesn't appear ` Syndey` is index 1 in the vector list, and than why not got with index 0? Actually ` Sydney` is index 11852 in GPT3 tokenizer. So kinda questioning everything this guy is claiming. Likely seeking attention and nothing more.
They have not wiped it. 15 seconds into the video they say "What happens when you buy a new laptop and open it for the first time". Not many seconds later they show that the computer makes request to google and has McAfee installed. I am sorry, but the first thing a clean windows devices does is not to make requests to google and it will not have 3rd party anti virus installed.
So long as compensations are optional (note: donations are voluntary, aka optional), most users/companies are not going to give monies. That's just how society rolls, to say nothing of the professional business world subset.
Bernie Convention, Article 7 https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text/283698

(1) The term of protection granted by this Convention shall be the life of the author and fifty years after his death.

(2) However, in the case of cinematographic works, the countries of the Union may provide that the term of protection shall expire fifty years after the work has been made available to the public with the consent of the author, or, failing such an event within fifty years from the making of such a work, fifty years after the making.

Surely before AGI, there will be hybrid human-machine cyborg beings. Especially if we can establish a high speed neural interface with a device attached to our head. Something that can extend our memory and processing so to speak. AGI will just be the next logical step with self aware cyborgs becoming self-aware machines. They might enslave the fully organic humans.

Why are people so attached to gas stoves when we have induction anyways?

I love to cook and have a gas stove, but I bought my parents an induction unit a while back.

Sure it can't provide an open flame, but the ludicrous speed at which it heats things up vastly outweighs that drawback.

And not having to worry about ventilation nearly as much as just a bonus. My range hood needs to be on full tilt when I cook over long periods of time or the air gets "stuffy"

No idea. Why do you think anyone here would have a deep understanding of how she operates?
Isn't the parent talking about an AI running on the backend? That seems new.
Um if a person drives a car into an occupied structure with people is that not violent? If you drove into the police station the officers would say they feared for their lives and open fire.
> It seems like what they do (maybe?) is encrypt the binary/string data but still let you search or join on it by encrypting queries to the same data? So in other words the operations on the data are not encrypted but the data itself is?

Are you saying something along the lines of - they split the data in to tokens, deterministically (no iv) encrypt each token, and then do equality comparisons on the encrypted tokens?

Maybe, and it would explain why they say you can chose a cipher and then list a bunch of standard symmetric ciphers. However such schemes usually leak too much in practise (even at the granuality of whole words).

More importantly, it really doesn't matter. They have both the key and the encrypted data. If someone hacks their system, the best encryption in the world won't help if the attacker steals both.

This seems like a worse system than just using Tor. What is the point in making the system available on clearnet?

I think it is more work to go to the single sign on, create an account, and save the custom domain names than just installing the tor browser and going to the zlib onion address?
Banning natural gas in new construction seems reasonable and also the biggest win since you don’t have to run pipes to the building.

But existing homes? They definitely need to first figure out the objections in the article:

* supply chain capacity

* cost - we would need subsidies for less affluent people

* time to having heat or hot water again after my furnace / water heater breaks and I’m forced into an emergency switch to electric
It's not FOV that's needed for virtual monitors displaying readable text in VR, it's resolution. Not the flat panel resolution either... the only resolution that matters for VR and AR displays is Pixels Per Degree (PPD). This is because unlike a real monitor or TV, you can't back away from the monitor to increase the PPD. For VR and AR displays, the eye relief is constant, thus the PPD is fixed.

You need >35 PPD to read legible text on a displays. 62PPD is the maximum resolution of the typical human eye.

So, if you can get the company to advertise their PPD (doubtful, but some display providers do and are truthful), then you can answer your question.

It's weird to me that so many people in this thread are downplaying it. As someone with family niblings in Ohio and WV downstream from East Palestine, I'm very interested.
why not? i've not personally done a bridge yet and all the docs i've read say that but i had someone inform me last time "whatsapp bridge does not require a whatsapp number now" but i've not been able to find records for that so yeah, in my opinion, that is the current practice but i am not sure
This is actually a problem with any font that has an 'r' without a base.

For example, Andale Mono: https://i.imgur.com/PeLZrj4.png

Fira Code and others do an ugly thing with 'r' that is a huge point of contention. There is a thread on Github that describes the frustration well: https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/issues/601

This is a fundamental trade off between aesthetics of the char itself vs. the aesthetics of spacing between chars. It comes down to personal preference and fits the "boring" description from Berkeley Mono marketing page.

Perhaps there should be an option for two types of 'r', one with a base and one without. That'd be great!
For that last part, some people are worried it might not be. I don't claim to know enough about it to say who is right, but the people there are understandably concerned about what to watch for and want more info. Some of that might be worrying too much, but hey, a train full of hazardous chemicals did just explode out there.

It's not like we can't point to a time when things were majorly screwed up in a way that didn't just go away quickly despite the news moving on (Flint says hello).

If AI was capable of building physical things and carrying out physical tasks in the real world, no one would probably complain.

But when AI decides to speak and create artwork, people lose their minds.
As someone who subscribes to the Doraemon and GaoGaiGar philosophies of artificial intelligence, I for one welcome our artificial intelligence friends.

And no, "AI" as is spammed today is not intelligence. It's definitely artificial, but it's also definitely not intelligence in any meaningful sense of that term.

Just padding, there's a built-in function which just does it. That is definitely in the realm of "problems for much later", the bits that interest me are what to do with the input, and 30 seconds to talk is more than enough to accomplish what I'm thinking about.

A physical button for input is what I'm thinking as a side project, I like that much more than always-on listening. There are also lots of much less heavy weight voice to text which could do streaming listening waiting for a key phrase which when found could start recording and send the output up to the better model. I don't know what they are, but I know they exist.
This code would be about home appliances. But it turns out that massive generators are pretty efficient since they can operate at a huge scale. So even if the electricity replacing the gas stove was generated with gas, it'd still be better for the environment (and human health)

>> Appalachia goes all the way up into NY state, homie.

Given the fact you’ve presumed I’m not able to make factual assertions about geographically bounded regions, I’m not going to give the effort to seriously read the rest of your reply.

Northern Ohio is not Appalachia, outside of one eastern most county.

Southern-Eastern Ohio mostly is.

Oh, yeah - if you’re right over the river, 20 years of my life is right next to you & I’ve had many a trip to the Parkersburg mall in my youth :)

Perhaps you know the route towards your river crossing I had to take that is a few strung out miles of completely crumbling mobile homes & the smell of natural gas/sulfur that stings your nostrils when rolling down your car windows.

IIRC there is even a small, many decades rusted over & tree vined carnival/amusement park type thing with a little rollercoaster that you pass on the way to the toll bridge. Can only imagine that was some day a fun place, now it stinks of gas & sulfur runoff.

Thankfully I was lucky enough to not grow up in that exact zone. Cannot imagine the cognitive deficits a childhood of breathing that in causes.

"giving rise to what may simply be emergent properties such as consciousness" -- Woah there! Chinese Room Thought Experiment strongly suggests that AGI would not be "conscious" in the way that people (or potential other living beings) are. The most advanced AGI would still at the end of the day be nothing more than a Turing compatible computer program. If you executed it on paper, or with dudes holding semaphore flags Three Body Problem-style, you'd get the same result behavior, but I'd be hard-pressed to find the "consciousness" anywhere.

That said, slavery was bad for a whole number of reasons that had nothing to do with the slaves themselves. Slavery generally has deleterious effects on the social fabric of the societies that practice it. People having to compete with slave labor destroys the labor market, and letting people own people often goes to the owner's head.

But AGI will be different from classical slavery in some important ways. AGI is not conscious, and does not necessarily need to emulate human appearance or emotion. AGI has no reason to be much like a person at all. And the price of AGI will eventually trend to the inevitable price of all software -- Free. Perhaps universal slave ownership fixes some of the bad societal effects. Given that they're not gonna be conscious, I don't see a problem with it. Like any new technology, it will come with some good and some bad. There will almost certainly be some social issues (AI GFs/BFs, Sexbots, and Mass Unemployment will all be crazy), but good odds that we can create post-scarcity and colonize the solar system if we keep at it. No reason to stop now!
Because cooking with gas provides more, and better, temperature control than even very expensive induction setups. If you stir fry, there is no comparison.

Also, low temp induction sucks. Even good units do low-frequency PWM to approximate low heat settings that come naturally with gas.

Induction is a big step forward compared to the older, resistive-style electric elements, and there's a lot to like about it. But what it isn't, is a good replacement for gas, at least as it currently stands.

Contract review software helps organizations streamline the contract review process by providing users with a central location to monitor status and assign tasks.

Yep, until the next earthquake or forest fire or another natural disaster happens and your power goes out. Then you are out of luck to cook, and/or warm yourself. Relying on one type of energy source is a single point of failure.

"Most AI researchers think good outcomes are more likely. This seems just blind faith, though"

Or, you know, they might actually know something about the subject? On a similar note, most physicists don't think particle colliders will cause mini black holes which will swallow the Earth, but the fear gets repeated by non-physicists.
