This. The ideal thing is to be second, or even third, not first. "The pioneers get all the arrows."
Yes. This is just Tay 2.0.

Essentially, everyone forgot about that failed AI experiment and now they come up with this. A worse search engine than Google that hallucinates results and fights with its users.

Microsoft has just been better at hyping.

If this is anything like the others in the series. I really like the style of the others; it is a really good way of learning for me. And the little prover&typer was when I already was well versed in the theory but they were really good to work through nonetheless.

So yep, must have. If you haven’t read the rest, they are really must haves imho.
There is a "2" after that, which means it cited a web source, perhaps a source that is talking about conversations with the new Bing beta
Heh, I've been tracking desktops for quite some time, not noticed any significant reliability differences between AMD and Intel.

My current desktop is a 2015 Xeon e3-1230 which was CHEAPER then the similar i7, but allowed ECC. I do like that the AMD motherboards allow ECC, it's a bit of a mess, but better then nothing. AMD doesn't guarantee/certify it until you upgrade to the Epyc. So you end up digging through motherboard docs, certification lists, and forums. My previous desktop was some early amd64, had no reliability problems with it. Before that I think it might have been an Celeron 300A that was overclocked to 450 MHz, same silicon as their non-celeron 450 MHz CPU, so overclocking was very common then. So far I've been switching between AMD and Intel every gen, and likely on my Xeon replacement.
What are you running that is pushing single thread performance but doesn't benefit from more cores?

Asking because IMHO it's so easy to use multiple cores on some parts of an app I feel like everyone should do it.
The initial preview is a little disappointing because it feels like it does a great job displaying the pedagogical style but not enough to demonstrate the pedagogical value (i.e. whether this resource actually does a good job teaching a complex topic).

Given the wealth of information and the problem of appraising it all, I don't think it helps this book that it costs $55 and requires the reader to learn an esoteric language (for the field), when there are so many educational books and lecture series by experts in the field that you can find freely available online.
No, its not. If someone punches you in the face, that's violence. If I say "hey, you're a groomer" that's not violence. You can tell the difference because one causes physical pain and the other doesn't. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Almost certainly.
> The AI can not have a goal unless we somehow program that into it.

I am pretty sure that's not how modern AI works. We don't tell it what to do, we give it a shitload of training data and let it figure out the rules on its own.

> If we don't, then the question is why would it choose any one goal over any other?

Just because we don't know the answer to this question yet doesn't mean we should assume the answer is "it won't".
I'm a little dubious of benchmarks that compare only one pair of chips when it comes to details like power efficiency and tweaking. The silicon lottery can make a big difference.
Are you consistently buying bargain basement boards? I have a 3700X + X570 and I've never had the fans cranking and it fail to boot.
I’ve never seen linear scaling from a dual GPU setup. IMO you’re doing well to get 70% from the second CPU under full load.
I think it's extra hilarious that it's Microsoft. Did not have "Microsoft launches uber-hyped AI that threatens people" on my bingo card when I was reading Slashdot two decades ago.
I didn't downvote you, but I haven't heard of any kind of mass movement to get pain and suffering damages from Donald Trump's tweets, as painful as they were to endure. If you're talking about libel, that's a separate thing, and has been around since before the First Amendment. If you publish untrue things and they harm someone, of course you can (and should) be held liable for your words. Divorce is also a different situation, where someone's words may be fair game as evidence of actions and character, depending on the circumstances.
> The question is of course, how close are we to mutating into a LLM that is more self-replicating hacking-virus?

Available resources limit what any computer virus can get away with. Look at a botnet. Once the cost of leaving it running exceeds the cost of eradicating it it gets shut down. Unlike a human virus we can just wipe the host clean if we have to.
Our use case is we're running around 30 GitHub Actions runners on VMs that are just building code in MATLAB. 'Full load' is => all the runners are occupied, CPU shows around 50% on the host.

The idle case on the Intel server is RHEL OS running several Windows VMs that are doing nothing, and the loaded case is when we spin up a large VM with around 40 cores on that host and run something in MATLAB (essentially a similar job to what the runners would otherwise be running).

The comparison is not completely accurate, but our experience was only anecdotal.
Then maybe we can do the same for the Federal minimum wage? This is just a floor. States can take this and run with it to increase local teacher salaries beyond the floor. Sanders knows it won't pass in this corrupt senate, but possibly a future one may take this seed of an idea and make something workable.
> [...] using appropriate pre/post conditions. A good example can be seen in the use of Design-by-Contract syntax in Eiffel.

I agree that these have some promise, but there is a rather wide gap between those and correctness proofs, and I'm not convinced that's a gap generally worth bridging.

> One has to remember that when Dijkstra did these almost nothing that we take for granted today existed

And yet at that time, he was capable of writing an ALGOL 60 compiler in assembly language within a few months. Two decades later, armed with his complete arsenal of program correctness techniques, he spent weeks writing an toy expression parser in a high level language, abandoned his original objective along the way, and ended up with an absolute dog's breakfast of impenetrable prose and code: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD05xx/E...

I find it really fascinating to see how the tenor of reporting on Bing has shifted in the past week.

In seven days, we've gone from "Microsoft made Google dance" to "Bing is an emotionally manipulative liar." That's a tremendous shift! The initial reporting had healthy skepticism, but was mostly concerned with Bing engendering unwarranted confidence. Still, it was coming from a place that was willing to believe in chatbots as a better search paradigm. I think we're starting to see cracks in that narrative.
Hasn't been a problem because software corrected for that, or hasn't been a problem because Intel resolved the underlying throttling issues with AVX-512?

It's not about making a point. It's about equality.

And I disagree directly with what you're saying anyway, because by lowering the standards for the rich we might actually see a push by influential people to raise the standards for everyone.
Apple have a reputation for releasing excellent ground breaking products. People might disagree with me there, but it is what is expected of Apple. When they release a new product line people expect it to be top notch or completely different. Having said that, I don't think they have had done that in some time.

I really struggle to see Apple are going to do it with mixed reality headsets. I just don't think it's time.

Additionally, a lot of these products are better when others have them too. I can't see many people wearing them, which might reduce how great they are.
Yes. And tweeters and 4channers, etc...
Let's consider a couple of scenarios since we don't know x's type here presumably on purpose

1. Suppose x is a Teapot, some complicated object with lots of internal state - it has about two cups of Early Grey in it, and is a lovely blue and white pattern.

If we call f(x) then we're giving our Teapot, x, to this f() function. It apparently doesn't give anything back, so the Teapot is gone now! In Rust we say x was moved into f.

Maybe f empties the tea out of the teapot, then smashes it and uses the broken pieces to fill a pothole in the road. Weird.

So we use the clone() call to ask for an exact duplicate of the Teapot, now f(x.clone()) only gives the clone to this function f, our original Teapot remains unaltered in our possession.

Because we've still got x, we can call g() which apparently like f also wants the actual Teapot, maybe this function plants a cactus in it and puts it on a high shelf. Once again our Teapot, x, is gone because we gave it to g().

Now, most Rust functions on complicated objects like a Teapot (or more realistically, a Vec or a String or File) don't move parameters like this, they want either a mutable reference which you'd write &mut x or an immutable reference, which is written &x. If these functions f() and g() only needed immutable references, our Teapot x is fine. We can't use mutable references because x itself is not labelled as mutable, if it was, the Teapot might be altered, but it's still a Teapot, the functions don't own it, they were just given a reference and so they aren't allowed to destroy it for example.

OK 2. Suppose x is just a 32-bit unsigned integer, u32 in Rust

Now things are different, because the u32 type implements Copy, a trait which tells the Rust compiler, "My value is literally the value of the bytes in RAM, if you copy those bytes, that's all I am, that's a copy of me".

So now even though f(x) moves x into f, the compiler knows x is just this 4 byte value, it can give f the same 4 byte value and keep the one in x, and everybody is happy. f() can do whatever it wants with that value, x is unaffected. We can call x.clone() if we want, but it just makes another identical 4 byte value, kinda pointless.

Then g(x) does the same, even if it wants to "move" the parameter, the compiler just gives it a copy anyway, no harm done.

Does this help?

We don’t live there anymore, so we don’t, but we honestly just put up with it. I don’t have any pointers on that fact.

To the child comment; I’ve told this story in the past but the tldr of it was that I was (unknowingly) not paying for the electricity in my apartment due to a broken meter. I didn’t break it, and I didn’t know it was broken; I just thought power was really cheap in NYC.
Designed, sure. Deployed? All I can say is the number of incidents where everyone was assured that the fiber strands were independent, but in actuality they weren't is a lot more than zero.

It's really easy for a vendor to claim that there's no point at which a single backhoe can take out two of the A/B/C/D/E paths in your diagram. It's also pretty easy to buy dark fiber from two different vendors that are reselling in the same bundle or have their bundles placed in the same conduit.
“There is no right to profit” means “the incentive has been removed”.

Congratulations; you’ve just broken the system (even though it was well-meaning).

I'm allergic to tartrazine. It doesn't seem to affect me much as an adult but as a child I'd go into drastic coughing/wheezing fits from consuming orange-flavored drinks in which it's used as a food coloring. I have a solid ADHD diagnosis but not looked into any kind of larger overlap with other allergies, due to the cost of screening/testing.

Some people would consider this comment "FUD and baloney" because of the number of confounding factors you're jumping over.

You're measuring wall socket voltage on two different servers to make a commentary on CPU power usage, but that's including storage, power delivery efficiency, cooling solutions, etc

You didn't describe what "we load it up" means for the Intel server, or how that compares to the AMD server, or what load is for that even (you're saying you keep the AMD server pegged at 100% CPU, or you have 100% of your expected load?). Presumably you didn't get a dual socket CPU for giggles, so the load isn't trivially comparable between both systems by either measure.

If you're buying servers because of fallacies about entire brands, please leave the procurement to someone more experienced. That kind of stuff is more for building a gaming PC, server hardware is way too varied for "brand X is Y". You need to examine things at the SKU level.

Sure, my sentiment in regards to “extreme data privacy” is that the world has an evolved and there are more benefits to the new lack of privacy than downsides overall.

I loathe the “real name policy” introduced by Facebook for the internet but can’t close my eyes to the fact that I am also benefitting from all that tracking as an individual and in business.

As a [thought] experiment I am ok following even a medieval way of life for a week to see what the difference is, I just wouldn’t present it as a virtue.

The pro-privacy stance is great and helps everyone, the extreme pro-privacy stance is akin to using burner phones for everything despite not being involved in any activities that truly require that level of opsec. It’s quirky, borderline comical and provides little insight into how to deal with current state of normalcy
interesting. What are my beliefs regarding freedom of speech? I attempted to provide an example of what the OP spoke of, might have been wrong. My beliefs regarding freedom of speech is that is should be just shy of absolute. Only limit should be believable threats of violence. I appreciate you telling me what I believe and my political beliefs though.
Worse, you need only plug a chatbot into itself, with some kind of basic bash script and very simple "goal prompt", and suddenly you get an agent with long term context. You could do that today.

Hey team, I'm Arjun! Builder at flowy.live.

We just launched our beta for mac users. It is real-time, voice commz for teams to move faster and lighter - without the endless slack threads, zoom meetings, and information overload.

So - flowy is a minimal desktop pane for anyone to push a button to talk to their close team as if they were right across the table (i.e. walkie-talkie). You choose your priority people and groups, and you get to hear incoming messages real-time. It is primarily an async and ephemeral interaction, including features like quick playback which make it feel live and conversational, to get people in flow state.

Any feedback or thoughts would mean the world to us! Feel free to leave me your feedback with an audio message in app (just search for arjun@flowy.live), especially if you don't have your team to test it with. I will respond!

This would really benefit from a Minecraft-style wiki to accompany it.

Harm reduction policies work.
"Reasonable" can be whatever the judge/jury say it is. That can vary wildly. There are laws on the books in which the statute specifies "reasonable" and a judge has determined that it's an absolute liability offense because determining reasonableness is too hard and would frustrate the legislatures intent. (Even though this conflicts with other precedential opinion which states you can't ignore the letter of the law to pursue it's spirit).

In short, "reasonable" means nothing until the people in power tell you what it means.
Aha, cool, I'll have a look at that as well, ta!
There was kind of a moment around 9/11 & invasion of Iraq&Afghanistan when the "left" (a term I hate, but I'll put aside that hate for now) pivoted on how it treated Islam, Islamic countries & immigrants and speech which was inflammatory around Islam. And in that context I think there was on the whole some sympathy on "the left" for Rushdie before, and less so after. (But like, I also think you can't make any broad generalizations about "the left" which in the US especially is some sort of stupid umbrella term which collapses neo-liberal centrists in with radical socialists, as if they have much in common at all.)

Prior to 9/11 the feminist movement and the left generally was fairly openly hostile about Islamic fundamentalism (and probably Islam generally), the Iranian regime, in the same way as it was around Christian fundamentalism, etc.

e.g. I vaguely remember a feminist convention of some kind, I think in Toronto, late 90s? when a pro-Iranian women's group showed up and had a table, and it caused a big stir and a far left socialist feminist group of some sort went over and vandalized their table and tried to evict them, etc.

But after the American/Republican reaction to 9/11 and the wave of brutal Islamaphobia ("clash of civilization" crap), acts of violence against immigrant Arab populations, invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, etc. many people on the left took principled positions on this that I think were on the whole more nuanced and were sympathetic to most Muslims in the context of the times; to try to denounce the imperialism colonialism, Christian nationalism, etc. that was flooding the culture.

I think burning a Koran or whatever in a post-9/11 era is a lot different from pre/9-11. At least in the first 10 years of the millenium doing something like that is a clear and explicit racist and bigoted act. Rushdie, tho, that's more complicated.

I think this has been a hard line to straddle. And many since took far more un-nuanced positions; idiots like George Galloway have taken their so-called anti-imperialism from this time and turned it into an outright pro-Putin, pro-Assad, reactionary politics which is in no way left wing or socialist, but ... at some point originated from there?

It's worth pointing out that post the post-9/11 point Hitchens himself pivoted from "left" (with a good critique of liberalism) to neo-conservative hawk. And he did so in a pretty ugly way.
I know this is partially a joke, but for those who may be taking it seriously:

The QA team's main value shouldn't be just repeating the testing that dev team should do in unit testing. QA's value should be to do exploratory testing. This involves trying to break things in as many ways as possible and finding things that the dev team didn't think of.

Is there a text field? Try putting Chinese characters and emoji in it to see what happens. Try to add null characters. Try adding the entire text of "War and Peace".

Can I upload files? See what happens when I try to upload a 1TB file, or millions of tiny files.

Should the dev team be writing unit tests to handle these cases? Sure, but it helps to have someone who is explicitly trying to find all the cases the dev team missed.
I guess you've never written async code. You can irreparably stall the entire program. I've done it. The person you're responding to is not correct in their analysis.
