The table below the stats in the link you mention also seem to indicate that most incidents are in rail yards, though I am really not sure how to interpret that table.

Are there comparable stats for elsewhere in the world? Is 1000 derailments per year a lot?
That'd be a valid solution, if impractical. I doubt that people would be willing to copy hundreds of thousands of license notices into their project.

No, self-reliant people make enough income to pay taxes to have municipal roads made and this employs people to work for the municipality. A majority of toll roads were private in the 1790s on, and a lot were not subsidized by the government; they were capitalized by selling shares, however, people would 'shunpike' (go around to avoid paying the toll), so this cut into dividends. I believe in having empathy and civility without the notion of an IOU lingering over me, but from having principles and respect for my fellow human.

do you consider things like extrapolating out the else half out of an if-else given the if half as boilerplate?

these tools are incredible productivity boosts if you leverage them well.

here's a sample from gpt: a low effort question and a code dump that would get you flamed on stackoverflow.

I love it. As long as we continue to use these tools as augmentive, it's just going to get better and better
It’s not about not wanting to share it, it’s about owning it in the first place. I can’t share what I don’t own. All my leisure time rented to me by the hour isn’t community. Listing a friend who is between leases crash in your spare room and use your garage to store their stuff is community. Handing out all the fresh vegetables you grew this season to your neighbors is community. Loaning your friend tools for a renovation they’re doing is community. Having band practice in your garage is community.

Look, I agree with you, it would be amazing if we had actual community spaces, but I didn’t make the system I just live in it. Short of starting a commune (I’ve tried, there was a 4k square ft repurposed church with like 12 bedrooms and lots of land in the city for less than the average home I wanted to go in on with my friends) having a home is the best you can do to have a space that’s yours and you can share with others.
It’s mechanically solvable but not in any practical timescale. A naive approach would be to check every square with no repeats in the rows, which requires (26!)^26 attempts, or roughly 5e691. Obviously you can improve that by exploiting symmetry, shifts, etc, but that only gets you a few orders of magnitude. There are much cleverer techniques, but when your baseline is so ludicrously impossible you need a real breakthrough to make any progress.
I'd like to see this explored a bit further, and compare both reusable items (such as "the good silverware" that you only bring out for holiday dinners), vs items that get used up (consumables). And in the case of consumables, is there differences between ones that are compose of 100% disposable components (such as a stack of stationary paper) or something that has a rather nice component, and then parts that get used up (like a bound hard cover Moleskin or Fields notebook).

For durable items (silverware, premium dishware) there is wear-and-tear that can dissuade daily use. But I think it is more that it makes the occasion itself feel more premium if you bring out the gold plated forks for that once a year meal, rather than concern over wearing that item out. On the other hand, for consumable items I think it is more of wanting to maximize the value from it (don't waste it on trivial things) rather than making the specific occasion more special.
Yeah, but you're still likely reinventing capabilities that exist in react or a plugin. Even if you re-use it, you still have to build it the first time instead of iterating on your product.
What makes SAP secure?

Nothing, inherently. What makes SAP secure is that a lot of IT organizations have experience with setting it up, and know enough about its pitfalls to avoid them. With a new product, IT is going to have figure out the security pitfalls (hopefully by reading documentation, but more likely through testing, hopefully not through breaches). If, as the grandparent post indicates, the product was set up by someone outside of IT, it's quite likely that that person doesn't actually know about security, and may well have inadvertently opened a security hole by, for example, creating an insecure proxy account.

To re-emphasize my point from my original post: far more security problems result from the interaction of systems than result from systems themselves. SAP may be set up in a perfectly secure manner. The new product may be set up in a secure manner. However, their interaction may still result in data leakage or denial of service.

Even if your product is perfectly secure (which it isn't), the mere fact that it's one more component, interacting with all the other components of the company's IT infrastructure, is reason enough for broader corporate IT to be cautious.

Furthermore, it's often the case that when there is a problem, security or otherwise, it's not going to be your customer that's on the hook. It's going to be the company's IT department. Would you like to suddenly support a piece of software that, a week prior, you didn't even know existed, much less deployed at your company?

Sure, you could build an index of attribution <> latent space coords, but it would not be clear whether a generated document near several index entries would require compliance.

I guess this is where the threshold comes from. Choose a generous margin and over-attribute rather than under-attribute.
You can do that without the blockchain using something like Estonia's 20 year old digital signature scheme. All you need is a private key, not distributed consensus 'not your keys not your porn' silliness. [1]

A blockchain doesn't help here because your personal identity is not a bearer token. If someone has your private keys they do not become you. And if they do have your private keys you better have some authority to revoke them.

Is there a scheme using these principles that isn't known to be insecure? Or one that has a proof of security by reduction to a known (or supposed) hard problem?

A brief look online makes it sound like all provided schemes have extremely adhoc arguments of security or are known to be broken.

Not at all. I'm saying it's derived from large amounts of code, without respecting the licenses on that code.

Then it shouldn't exist outside of demos of what could exist in the future if the showstopper legal problem gets solved. Let's get people treating that constraint as business-critical and start coming up with clever solutions, and see how long "impossible" lasts.

So most air quality monitors need to be "cleaned" and recalibrated by cycling them in a clean air enviro for a few mins, especially if they have been exposed to high levels of pollutants otherwise they may be "off" in their measurements.

As long as WordPress fully embraces React as its future for Gutenberg, the case for frameworks still continue to be made for React. ~43% of all websites run WordPress, and those on version 5 or newer include React.

I understand that. But he's making a big deal out of using literally the two easiest tools out there to generate... a tiny awkward two second soundbite in a set. I just timed myself and it took me less than two minutes to do the same thing. Might take longer if you need to sign up first.

And this isn't to say that the time it takes to do something is important - the idea of course matters too. But the idea itself isn't original. And the result is just a TINY soundbite.

So it's just straight up not interesting from a production nor listening perspective, especially given the fact there are people out there doing much more creative, involved, and interesting things in the realm of AI assisted production.

Well, by your definition even division of reals is not closed - which means that your definition is not a correct one. A closed operation is allowed to have an "undefined" result. (And, by the way, division of integers is perfectly closed, if you ignore the remainder.)
This is all getting so meta. This particular article is “fake news”, or at least a false headline.

The bot doesn’t “lose its mind”. It doesn’t agree the linked article is true, presumably because it was setup with contradictory beliefs. So it answers in a reasonable way to an article it believes is wrong.

Is it wrong? Yes. “Lost its mind”? There are much better examples of that happening than this.
Very hard question to really answer. If Einstein said the sentences “are you sure? think about it”, you might spend years pondering what he meant. If GPT does you’ll ignore it. Same output but the context plus content will change what you do.

Same with a painting. If an old master draws a wireframe of a dog, people would bid it up at auction and wonder what he meant. If your kid or AI do, no money might change hands. Same output, different context.

So you can’t just use the output, surely?
This will only push underage users to more underground sites, that don’t care enough about the laws, and which have even more extreme content. Whoever thinks that teenagers will stop watching porn because of this is incredibly naive.
I'm not sure I'd call Office or Windows "low quality". You might have different preferences, or things you don't like about them, but Windows is a highly polished OS at this point, and Office is head, shoulders, knees and toes the best office suite in the world.

That's a fair point...I tend to be paranoid about these things, and I think your point reinforces mine to an extent. Yeah I have simple taxes, and yet couldn't feel confident about it through TurboTax. But at this point we're way off topic!
You just described with incredible precision my approach to jobs and career.

The only difference is that I make a point of leaving my current job in 18 to 24 months. That is the sweet spot. No matter how good or bad I think the job is. Always get a raise in the switch. Rinse and repeat. I actually avoid getting promotions in whatever is my current job, those are detrimental, seldom the raise is compatible with the increase in responsibility.

I worked for companies I liked and for companies I personally hated, the procedure is always the same. Has been working wonders for me in the past 2 decades.

My frustration for a decade is that I don't know any handy image editing tools on smartphone for simple editing like trim, resize, paint, add text, rectangle filling/blur.

Thank you, I didn't realize it had additional settings here.

This would mean Bard is a significantly smaller model vs ChatGPT, which would mean it generalizes worse for most tasks. The full featured lamda model is about 22% smaller than the GPT3 model that ChatGPT is based off of.
Somehow I'm excited on this journey, can't wait to see how far chatGPT can go making a full game.
One perspective is that those authors actually contributed to the end result.

I personally believe this should be controlled at a device level, not at a state or national level.

But on a theoretical basis, yes, you could use so-called "soul bound tokens" attached to an Ethereum address, for example, for this use case. A soul bound token is similar to an NFT, but cannot be traded. It is bound to a particular address. So in theory, you could go through some service provider for the identity verification, give them an Ethereum address to attach the 18+ SBT to, and then you could simply sign a message from that address for any website that required 18+ verification (would cost no gas, it's just a signature).

See Vitalik's blog post on SBTs for more info: https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/01/26/soulbound.html

I worked there for about a month before it was named skillz. One thing I didn't expect was how much the psychology of a casual game changes when there's money on the line. Imagine playing 5 minutes of angry birds while waiting for a bus, versus playing the same game for bus fare.
>Storing 14+ days... is... massive

...which is why you want to be extra careful in how mass-efficient you are storing it.

A tank of liquid oxygen masses only a few percent of its contents, and its contents store more chemical energy per mass than a lithium battery. Later on, insulated tanks are vastly easier to produce from lunar materials vs batteries. These are all nice leverage multipliers.

MEA amine solution is made of 80% lunar-abundant elements, and stores 22% its mass in CO2.[0] Importing the amine, tanks, and extra equipment requires under 3 kg/person for energy storage, vs 34 kWh[1] of batteries.

Nuclear is a popular notion, but the real-world economics don't seem to favor it. Effectiveness beats elegance,[2] apparently.

I'm now very curious on this. My gut was more that it is 2^(number of dimensions) that is important here. As such, for a single dimensional storage of data, standard binary tree. Add in another dimension, but still want to halve the search space with every comparison, add another branch factor to the tree.

That said, this implies that for 3d space, you would want 8 way trees? But, I don't think I've ever heard of that being done/used.

Maybe the answer is a repeated game over time. We might learn the deep wisdom/artistry inherent in the model, or we might learn its limitations. Einstein didn’t arrive and emit one sentence. Dali didn’t just draw once picture. It’s hard to judge an AI from one output.
It must be Wolfram's own. Every other sentence starts with "But", which is his signature feature :-)
This reminds me of a similar story from Dr. Alex Wellerstein (historian of NUKEMAP fame). A Redditor he knew found some redacted nuclear weapons documents, and did the same trick, as the redactions were done with pieces of paper over the slides on a copier.

Link: https://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2021/05/17/how-not-to-redact...
Exactly this. Also, even the "our code" case if not done carefully may copy code from one or more internal projects that had in turn copied with attribution from an Open Source project, and fail to propagate the attribution.
I think this was a typo in the table. 2.4.22 was released alongside the other fixed versions.
It's also how you end up with a product you can sell now versus a product you can sell in 24 months' time.

You previously stated "The tools are too useful to cripple with restrictive laws written for a previous era." and also "Those are protected by trademark law which will still be strong in a post AI world."

So do you believe in legal protections for trademarked and copyrighted works or not?

If an AI assistant generates content that includes copyrighted or trademarked elements is the content "too useful to be crippled by restrictive laws" or "protected by laws which will still be strong" ?
The usual computer architecture includes the representation of floating-point numbers that is a very efficient (albeit imprecise) model of the reals.

I also live in a “right to fire for whatever” state, often referred to as “right to work” which really means the right of employers to ignore union agreements and compensate individuals less if the individual agrees to it. It’s already illegal at the federal level to force someone to be part of a union and states like ours just work harder to make sure we don’t end up collectively bargaining for better conditions by controlling the supply of our labor of which our employers are the consumers (literally basic market economics and nothing more).

Your statement brings to mind this quote from Martin Niemöller, who was sympathetic to the Nazis until he witnessed the escalation and reach of their beliefs:

> First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
> Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
> Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
> Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

But lately western society as has fully embraced the delusion that multimedia when viewed on screens have the magical ability to bypass normal sensory perception and cause addiction like drugs do. The shift in the overton window from the "screen time" hysteria has enabled these bills to be presented and not immediately laughed out of congress like they're still laughed out of scientific journals.
