Much of this discourse at present is purely strategic, and often wildly disingenuous. Many people who speak in lofty terms about free speech (not specifying anyone in particular here) are notably silent when it comes to people harrassing librarians or allegations that drag shows = groomers + pedophilia and therefore are legitimate targets for physical or terroristic violence (bomb threats and the like that are sufficiently credible to provoke a police response).

Now, imagine that the bad actors you're referring to have come to power, and because you've nerfed 1A, they now have the power of prior restraint over your speech, and that of their victims.

Still think it's a net win?

------------Replying here due to rate limiting:

The big problem I have with what you wrote is "much speech (is) a prelude (to) violence," used in a context that seemingly justifies equating the speech with the violence that ensues. This is an argument for prior restraint. No?
I think it’s high time these cargo ships were fully automated. At least as far as the point after which the local pilot comes onboard.
abusive speech isnt illegal either
He didn't even have to pay 2% of the bail. It's a two-tiered justice system.
I can understand on a micro level why managers might want to release a product in order to get bonuses or something, which we see at google all the time. But these things are happening at the macro level (coming as major moves from the top) and it’s not clear that these moves are even sensible from a profit perspective.
I'm fairly certain data and records have been sewn into tapestries for thousands of years.

Can't believe a serious engineering organization actually would use LOC as a productivity measure. This seems like a good short candidate on that alone. Just wow
It’s still limited by both its lack of memory and its limited processing power.
>and taken to it's logical conclusion I should also not absorb anything in the article

Well, yeah, if that’s what you choose to do.

That’s the whole point: you can choose to absorb the information, or not. You can choose to take offense, or not.
How do you know something isn't a negative if you can't test it?
Oh, I am aware of that but emulating a terminal still proved to be difficult with the current buffer limit. After two or three commands with lots of output, you basically had to start a new session and repeat the prompt (and how far it got in the previous session) all over again.
My summary is AMD is hurt MUCH less than Intel by lowering the power. One example from the article:

Cinebench R23 multithread:

Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 125 watts = 95%
Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 105 watts = 93%
Ryzen 7950X 230 -> 65 watts = 81%

Intel I9-13900k 253 watts -> 125 watts = 78%
Intel I9-13900k 253 watts -> 105 watts = 72%
Intel I9-13900k 253 watts -> 65 watts = 56%

Other benchmarks like C-ray show ZERO slowdown going from 230 -> 125 and even 105 watts. Intel drops by 21% for 125 watts and 30% for 105 watts.

Personally I'd rather get the 7900X (or non-x) and you'd keep an even larger fraction of the performance within a given power limit. It's pretty clear who has the worse core and has to push harder into high clock/terrible power usage for not much gain curve.
What is your source for all these claims? I can't think of ever having heard of someone being detained for the purpose of "preventing perjury/collusion/deception" in court. Usually pretrial detention is because the court determines the individual is physically dangerous to themselves or society...or because there's a flight risk.

Especially given that one is guaranteed access to council, and often is permitted visitors...
IIRC the very original plan was a small glasshouse with a camera. But your idea sounds good as well. :)

Isn't information retrieval potentially more costly if you have to search over a larger sea of useless blocks. Certainly is the case in my garage+house where I can now store way more than I ever could in previous stages of my life.

Yeah, the SPoT part was fascinating. It takes them 40 days to drive to the South Pole. I guess they drag along a container that is converted in to a living quarters along with the fuel and other heavy things. 40 days... then the return trip which is supposedly quicker. ~25KM a day. No idea if they stop for the night or take shifts and keep the tractors running 24x7.
Yanking a couple of outlier authors and commentators out as representatives of common opinion is disingenuous as hell.

Society-wide we've also got a huge problem with victim-blaming when it comes to crime, and we are only just starting to make in-roads on it. We've just done another round on this with "somehow NATO is causing Russia to invade Ukraine in a campaign of murder, rape and destruction".
Language is always evolving, and words do not always need to be tethered to their denotative meaning for us to understand what people mean.
Personally, I went 4950, 1700x, 5800x, 12700k. I considered giving intel another try after the 5800x, so I went with the 12700k. I needed a computer quickly, and my previous machine was unavailable.

The next chance I am giving intel is relatively far into the future. Likely in 5-6 years at best given how many stability issues I have had.

Do note that this is pure anecdata, n=1 and likely suffering from a degree of confirmation bias.
While this comic does a good job of expressing a particular idea, it has become its own thought-terminating cliche.
Wow, good thing that I literally linked to the primary sources AND an additional secondary source for background.

Y'all need to see context.
Given how susceptible to bullshit humans have proven themselves to be, I'm thinking that ChatGPT/etc are going to be the most dangerous tools we've ever turned loose on the unsuspecting public. Yet another in a long line of 'best intentions' by naive nerds.

That’s precisely why. Humans have a long, well established record of making shit up to make themselves feel special. They do it about animals, they do it about other humans, they do it about themselves. Doing it about AI is inevitable.
The idea that we can have value-free laws instituted by impartial institutions is a fantasy. By its very nature politics is about rewarding friends and punishing enemies.

If the state - any state - regards you as deplorable, then it is totally irrelevant that some piece of paper somewhere might claim you are entitled to some rights. In practice this won't matter. The state will crush you, and the mob will cheer.
Have you tried graphpad prism? I think that's the closest plotting software to a hybrid. There's also spss.
I'm not arguing against you.

I'm sure the location of the jail and the Cost of Living of the surrounding area has an affect on the cost.

> Rikers Island costs half a million a year per detainee.

Which averages down to $1,369 a day or $57/hr per prisoner. Which is about the same cost as 2 average NYcops[0] (Maybe NYC is higher?) per hour.

So I guess the cost to house and the cost to retrieve are about the same minus the admin/paperwork? Although that assumes the 2 cops show up and the person is exactly where they say they are and go into custody without issue.

Not gwern, but I believe absolutely yes. I bet it could be done by chaining current models together, using text files as intermediate state. Awareness of self is just another game to optimize in an orthogonal (timewise) direction.

Enough models and containers floating around would probably build an AI "molecule" by chance, like amino acids in primordial soup or whatever.

Set your life up so that every day is an adventure.
But it is true, in fact that is part of the core ideas of representative democracy, and also the basic principle behind the monopoly of violence that any democratic state has to have

Some people cannot be trusted with certains ideas so a more superior indivdual or organisation must control what they can do

Or must we abandon policing since we can all exchange on the marketplace of ideas ?

My idea is since i control 40 gunmans and you control 0, you owe me money despite nothing having ever happened between us. No violence was ever implied.

Not saying that speech = action, but i cannot see how you can argue for police to exist but speech to be free as speech in itself must lead to actions, or why else would we speak in public ?

"This is a closed world where almost everyone is working only for other Googlers, and the feedback loop is based on what your colleagues and managers think of your work."

That is no divergence, in other words: div u = 0, no influx or outflux, a self contained, closed system.

The bane of such organisations, not mentioned in the article, is groupthink: a powerful force that pulls you into the center of mediocre sameness. Imagine if IRS solicited feedback from yoir neighbors to determine how much taxes you pay. A religious neighbor across the street knows that you don't go to church, so he writes a negative feedback to IRS. Eventually, you're either forced to behave, or the group kicks you out. That's groupthink.

>It is a bit wild to me how common sentiments like this are on hacker news, when so many people claim to be rationalist types. Then again, a group of mostly white people claiming systematic racism is gone in their so-called merit-based hierarchy should be expected.

I'm not white.

I don't believe we live in a merit-based hierarchy, especially for high status positions. Those go to less competent, connected, ideologically "correct" people.

And the part you wrote before comes off as a bit of a rant also, with a lot of assumptions and cardboard cut out stereotypical view of politics. Both Republicans and Democrats serve the wealthy and powerful.
Well, if it brings you any solace, all I'm doing is echoing the thoughts of some of the lawyers I've had the good fortune to talk to. I'll be sure to let them know of their ignorance and disinterest in ethics, and that they should take some refresher classes.

You're giving it tasks, though. That's a bit different than "would it give itself tasks if it talked to itself instead of a human" by itself, to try to see what sort of agency it can or can't exhibit.

> When we talk about violent forms of speech, this is what we mean. Actual crimes.

If we're talking about actual crimes getting prosecuted, then what's the issue here? All I see is the law doing it's job

> This flavor of "cancel culture" transcends my definition in a lot of ways (often involving physical violence, unjust law enforcement incarceration, employment discrimination and more).

Employment discrimination aside (you'll find that with the tolerated kind of canceling, too, even though the employers may not do it voluntarily, but catering to mob pressure, but then again, aren't they often in racist settings as well?), what if they don't include physical violence or state action? Would you find it okay if some group pressures vendors, customers, social clubs etc to cancel someone because of the color of their skin?

I'm not looking for a "gotcha" or something, and I included religion and political persuasion in that list intentionally. You can't change your skin color or sexual orientation, and we're kind of saying that you can't change your religion (though we agree that you totally can, apostasy is both normal and accepted and not a crime), but we kind of say that you can with your politics (otherwise it would be protected and you couldn't discriminate against someone based on it).

The problem I see with tolerating the common cancel culture is that it's often as arbitrary as those motivated by racism etc because it depends on exactly what the article was arguing: whether some speech is violent, and then additionally how violent it is (e.g. bad enough to warrant aggressive action).

Racists actually believe that their targets are unworthy and bad and deserving of their hatred and persecution. Some fringe groups believe that JK Rowling is leading a genocide campaign against trans youth in the UK and would love to cancel her because of it (I don't think there's a chance of success, but that's besides the point for whether we'd tolerate the attempt). I find both beliefs absurd, yet I understood you'd find cancelling because of the latter one reasonable, so I wonder whether you feel the same about the former or why you'd see that differently. And if that's too extreme, consider cancellation because of politics.

remember, at one point it was considered 'harmful' be a majority whites for us browns/blacks to express our civil rights. Just because a majority goes "this is bad" doesn't mean it necessarily is.
probably not in their form factor and quality
It's weird that this isn't already the case. We do it with airplanes, and surely that's much harder simply by virtue of needing to consider three dimensions. I can't imagine it would be difficult to automate steering a ship across the open ocean. You could build something basic and just make the captain handle all the iffy stuff.
Well, I'm smart, but very lazy, so in other words a programmer. We don't like to do work, and business seems like work. It just strikes me as odd that there's few people who are both smart and not lazy.
I wonder if they'll be able to have outer displays as well as inner displays. Cameras internally to relay the wearer's face/expressions. So it can look somewhat like a transparent face shield, or it can be opaque from the outside. That would mean they can show expressions, show visualisations, etc.

Their recent pro products love pushing DaVinci Resolve, so as something that has loads of modes and palettes, I could see them tying in with that, and Resolve having new features for creating mixed reality or immersive video.

They have tie-ins with media - concerts, shows, movies - and watching these in a collaborative or immersive fashion.

Looks like [0] is the judge's order that SBF stop using VPN services until after Feb 24 and [1] seems to be some kind of appeal from SBF's counsel for a time extension "to make additional submissions to the Court" until Feb. 17 (apologies as I'm not familiar with what such a document would technically be called).

I'd personally argue, considering the title, that the judge's order is more relevant since I figure it would probably not exist unless SBF actually used a VPN.

It is effectively finite in that the knapsack has a finite capacity and there is a finite selection of items with positive weight, hence the number of items that can fit into the knapsack is limited by the knapsack capacity divided by the smallest item weight. So, while for the unbounded knapsack problem the number of instances of an item that may be included is not limited, it is effectively still limited by the knapsack capacity. Therefore the number of item combinations that have to be considered is finite as well.

The GP had put "solvable" in quotes. I understood the GP to say that for space planning, there may not be an algorithm that is guaranteed to produce an answer in finite time. For the knapsack problem there is such an algorithm (even if that finite time, due to NP-completeness, could be very long).

The formal term "solvable", as applied to decision problems, actually only means "semidecidable", a much weaker property, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_problem#Decidability.
I think there is a small possibility that optimal scaling as we understand it right now (scaling compute + task/data diversity + parameter count in an optimal fashion), could just emerge (or scale) consciousness. We at present do not know what leads to emergence in the many now-documented examples of emergent capabilities in large NNs (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07682#google https://gwern.net/doc/ai/scaling/emergence/index ), cannot predict either their timing or their presence, and cannot even be sure that there is not 'hidden scaling' where the capability would exhibit smooth scaling if only we were prompting for it correctly (several tasks show flat scaling when prompted 'normally' and then smooth scaling when an inner-monologue prompt is used). Similarly, 'inverse scaling' turns out to be 'U-shaped' when tested on PaLM ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.02011v3#google ), but no one had any good way of predicting what tasks would show inverse scaling nor whether PaLM would be adequate. There's a lot we do not know about DL scaling right now, which means we definitely do not know how consciousness does or doesn't work in DL scaling. Not that we have any idea how to benchmark it right now, nor is anyone doing so, so of course it may not need to emerge at all...

There's also concerning scaling trends like power-seeking or self-preservation ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.09251#anthropic ), results which may sting a little more right now if you've been reading the Bing Sydney transcripts - at present, those outputs are 'just' imitation/memorization but there is no way to know at what threshold the memorization is replaced by generalization and becomes genuine agency. (Sufficiently advanced imitation is indistinguishable from the real thing.)

You don't need to check all your systems just the area where you are deploying bulldozers and backhoes into. Further enumerating all base stations and their geo coordinates in a GSM network is trivial.
Well it actually is something that people have to be aware of.

There’s a reason for the “ah you see, the cops have to follow the rules taps forehead” trope.

It’s genuinely hard to maintain a truly tolerant liberal democracy in the face of determined adversaries that can skillfully use the system against itself.

Now, that is no reason to take sloppy shortcuts like saying this or that opinion should be banned, but it is absolutely worth keeping in mind.
That sounds useful actually. So I could e.g. set up a Harry Potter chat server and make the bot respond only as Dumbledore or only use concepts of that setting? Or a chat server that responds to algorithmic tasks only with Python 3 code using exclusively numpy package?
It depends on your end goals, if your target is to find a job, implement some feature without going into too details. Not every people like to deals with the implementation details. Being a generalist is the road.

For example, many people just know how use React components, Angular components. But that’s ok in many jobs become there is no strict UI requirement on many jobs.

However, If your endpoint is to write components with design system / customise / optimise the components a little bit, you really need to understand how CSS and JS works.

The biggest pitfall I think is career development, if you are too generalist and your knowledge just stays on the surface, you just can’t solve some problems with technical complexity. It is hard to know what you don’t know … and some problems need expertise.
It does not have emergent intelligence LOL. It is just very fancy autocomplete. Ojectively thats what tthe program does.
It's not "causing harm", but it is extremely funny/terrifying, to have a "helpful AI :)" threaten you and dress you down at the minimal provocation.
What did you use to build the documentation? Looks great.
We absolutely should do that, if we can do that without actually harming children. Literally this is why we do not do that: because it would be wrong to harm children.

There should also be an international institute of holy text destruction. Build a big armored building where once a day, mass-market copies of all holy text's in common circulation in the world are unceremoniously set on fire and live-streamed.

Because if you can't deal with that without trying to kill someone, you have no place in modern society (not to mention that contextually, burning a holy text - and a flag for that matter - is considered the correct way to dispose of it).
I think it won’t bein a few years; a whole of the interesting bits of putting LLMs to use is going to be at the level this supports, not building new models.

Why the fuck do I care what the laws in Australia are when I don't live in Australia. you should see how govts interpret the "morality" or "offending" clauses in nation-states like India and Egypt to give themselves more power and arrest dissidents.
