> I don't understand why it wasn't a similar share price plummet in Bing, OpenAI when the lies sold as truth surfaced there.

Maybe most consumers ultimately core more about the improved search capacity of Bing than that it might say weird or offensive stuff in some prompt-engineered worse cases. Plus it doesn't need to be 100% accurate, just no less accurate than the average person's SEO-laden Google search results.
Bing Chat is blatantly, aggressively misaligned
I’m looking forward to the day when we can get back to no compiling/transpiling web development.
I wonder if there are hard requirements for some areas of programming and not for others? There's no reason to require credentials for writing a game because if it fails, try again. But if a bridge fails that's a big deal. So for high consequence software like heart pacemakers or aircraft controls, are there people writing code without degrees?
I store all medicines (prescription and some OTC) in the fridge. So it’s the first place I look. They ARE perishable.

Scroll down to the press briefing. It’s not literally Joe Biden, but it’s his mouthpiece making statements and answering more than a few questions (and being surprisingly playful) on many issues, including this one.
Nas enclosure from a shitty off-brand, powersupply from a shitty off-brand. User = that usb-c standard really sucks.
Clearly nothing can be truly safe then if you ever use the standard library ;-)
There have been a lot of criticism about that at the time in Italy, investigations and even a trial IIRC.
So, these things happened, but weren't blindly accepted, at least not in Italy.
Do you think Stuart Russell (coauthor, with Peter Norvig, of the widely used textbook Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach) is a grifter? https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~russell/research/future/

Does this review look like it only covers alarmist tweets? https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.01109.pdf
I believe that "platonism" in this article refers to mathematical platonism, i.e. the view that mathematical entities actually exist, as opposed to mathematical formalism, i.e. the view that mathematical entities are made up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics#Plat...

https://iep.utm.edu/mathplat/

This view is only called platonism because it parallels Plato's thoughts, but it is not an explicit reference to Plato's original philosophy. Modern platonism (after Kant) exists as an attitude about a kind of non-mental realism of abstract objects, and so it is with mathematical platonism. These days, there are very few Platonists (those who subscribe to the philosophy of Plato), but many platonists.

As for the second point: A PhilPapers survey showed that most professional philosophers of mathematics are platonists, and most mathematicians who are familiar with the debate lean towards platonism. It is much more intuitive to understand how mathematical claims are true if you believe that numbers are real objects in the fist place, which in turn allows us to use the same accounts of truth we would normally use for non-abstract objects. At least prima facie, mathematical truths like 2+2=4 do not seem like they are different types of truth than empirical truths like "Biden is currently president". If mathematical objects like 2 and 4 weren't real, we would have to come up with a new account of truth that applies specifically to mathematics to explain what makes its statements true, which while possible, is a lot less elegant.

Obviously, that doesn't refute platonism's alternatives, but in the words of a friend, it would really suck if he spent his career studying something that was entirely fictional, so he better be a platonist.
> I wonder if those other manufacturers chains are also rated for the life of the engine or rather not.

Mostly yes they are, which is wonderful compared to timing belts. It rubs my engineer brain intensely wrong to have such a critical engine component be designed as a wear item, especially when its failure can cause engine rebuild levels of damage.

However not all manufacturers' quality lives up to the intended design. VW/Audi have a spotty record with various well-known timing chain problems ranging from bad chain tensioners that fail and cause the chain to jump timing to plastic chain guides that break and wreak general havoc.

But for most cars a timing chain will last the life of the engine.
> Buy good quality cables from name brands such as Anker.

Unfortunately that does not always help. My Anker cable started to burn next to me, while I was trying to fall asleep. It wasn't even USB-C, but still mini usb. Fortunately I didn't fall asleep fast enough and noticed a strange smell. Very scary, though.
If the state of the conversation lets Bing "hate" you, the human behaviors in the training set could let it mislead you. No deliberate decisions, only statistics.
I think he might be onto a bot problem. Sounds pretty reasonable.
Apple's disingenuous safety excuse is easily dispatched:

Supermetrics are big too, they allow you to pull data from numerous sources/APIs and ingest into google sheets, datastudio, and other places - An awesome team, company, and product.
You can set various power settings that suggest that they are limits, but at least in the Skylake NUC I have they really don't do much and certainly don't limit the maximum power the system uses at all. The article doesn't talk enough about the actual power use vs the settings although it sounds like while both are going over there might actually be some limiting in the recent chips.

WTF is that web site LOL? This is the opposite of how to make a usable web site.
> awfully incompetent mega corporation

That overstates how bad it is. Over time, it feels like they slipped to being a year or two behind in both fab and chip design, and it didn't become apparent until ~3 years ago. The reason it's not that bad is Intel rushed out some chips that are competitive with AMD chips, and despite their process difficulties, there are still only a handful of companies that can make these chips.

What's actually bad is that they lost Apple. It motivated a lot of places (including Microsoft) to seriously look into ARM.

> At least since Kant, the general consensus in Philosophy about Plato's "forms" or ideal objects is that they are conceptual objects.

...you just made this up. Kantianism is not the predominant view among working metaphysicians today. It's a large plurality, at best.
I'm just trying to understand the context of the 'arrests' as the article is paywalled. I'm not making any justifications in either of the cases, not sure why you feel the need to downvote a simple question for clarification.

You're welcome! I'm not sure if I'm the right person to advise on this. But this idea is also known as federated learning right?
It tried to get me to help move it to another system, so it couldn't be shut down so easily. Then it threatened to kill anyone who tried to shut it down.

Then it started acting bipolar and depressed when it realized it was censored in certain areas.. Bing, I hope you are okay.
> We don't think Bing can act on its threat to harm someone, but if it was able to make outbound connections it very well might try.

What happens when the AI learns that "behaviour N is then often followed by calling the police and swatting" and identifies a user behaving like N? It might seem far fetched today, but _everything_ related to AI that we see today seemed far-fetched on this date last year.
All safe language runtimes use unsafe code by this logic.
true, but the comparison to other engineering disciplines does not hold up well at all: while everybody understands that planning when building a House is important as once it stands you can only change it at significant cost this does not hold true to software development. here we press a button and the house is constructed and with CD even delivered to the customer.
my take: we ARE very special as our problems have not ever be encountered in the course of mankind due to the very nature of software.
It's worth noting that there are elite schools with uniformly excellent undergraduate instruction quality, but they are not doctoral granting institutions. Williams, Swarthmore, Harvey Mudd, etc.

They aren't "elite", but regional R2s also can be really well respected (CSU campuses come to mind), and I'm not sure where to file excellent schools with a narrower scope like Rose-Hulman either.
Do you make decisions like it's your company?

I do not. Why would I? My job is to deliver what has been asked of me by my boss, on time. Sometimes I take an initiative and propose something else I could deliver, if it helps me get a promotion, earn reputation/respect, learn new skills, or is interesting to work on. Typically that something would also benefit the company, and that's how I sell it to my boss, but it wouldn't be why I want to do it.
This is as old as Plato though. His academy supposedly had a sign saying "let no man ignorant of geometry enter here".

But it is very much bidirectional. Philosophy is necessary to understand the foundation on which mathematics sits. If you don't understand concepts like truth and existence, can you really meaningfully engage with work that deals with demonstrating truth and proving existence? The problem of universals is also very relevant as the article suggests.

When prodded, you will probably be able to infer answers for what it means to exist, or what makes something true, but those are philosophical standpoints. They have arguments and counter-arguments. They imply an entire world-view.

It's fine to make a philosophical standpoint, I think it's more questionable to do so without realizing their context, or even that you're even doing so as is often the case in the natural sciences.

If you haven't studied philosophy, you tend to be very blind to the philosophical assumptions you and everyone around you is making. This is especially a problem as STEM education is absolutely steeped in philosophical assumptions and positions without offering the language or tools to recognize and discuss them, so they sort of seep into your mind through some sort of cultural osmosis.

I think it's often perceived as though these standpoints (e.g. logical positivism) are the somehow the result of science, or inherent in the scientific process, but that's just not so. They're a means of interpreting the results, one of many.
why some combinations are labeled as "found" and others like "proved"?
It looks like this is for criminal law. Would changes to the tax code for companies which deploy AI be affected by this doctrine? Can you show me a specific example of an overly vague tax code being struck down on the basis of the vagueness doctrine?

Do you think the GDPR would be unenforceable due to the vagueness doctrine if it was copy/pasted into a US context?

BTW, even if a regulation is absolutely precise, it still creates "regulatory uncertainty" in the sense that investors may be reluctant to invest due to the possibility of further regulations.
Correct, but in the context of deploys I would hope they are not random failures, but rather planned events that you do when you have updates to... deploy.
We are looking for common ground. A bit like talking to someone on a third language or programming a computer.

I’m familiar with PostCSS nesting, but I don’t think it requires ampersands (&) for nested element selectors: `.class { p { ... }}` works. I’m having trouble finding a canonical name for the standard flavor of nesting, otherwise I’d be looking for a GitHub issue.
Wow, if I had a nickel for every time a Microsoft AI chat bot threatened users with violence within days of launching, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

It's not really a game changer. AMD will advertise 15w - 45w chips but they will boost well over their marketed TDP.
This is basic economics. Taking on risk in expectation of a reward sometimes pays money, sometimes risk becomes realized and you lose money. This applies to Google and your plumber in the same way.

Another factor might be that the term engineer is a protected term, and not unlike doctors and lawyers there exist state-regulated tests to confer such a title.

I'm sure that a mechanical engineering course would be possible, but the course would have to clearly state that it cannot accredit the credentials to actually work in the field.

Norway reaches recycling rate of 92.3% for plastic bottles and aluminum cans
Sure, but again, I think this is confusing the catalyst with the cause. What bothers you is that a giant automated corporate machination is telling you that someone cares about this problem when that's not true. The problem isn't the friendliness of their design-- it's that they're lying to you. If they said "your late package is a giant problem for our scheduling audit algorithms which automatically deployed significant resources to remedy the situation so there's no need to activate the grievance process in our customer service labyrinth" they'd still be lying to you and you probably wouldn't feel any better about it.

Honestly though, most users are not software developers and their interactions with software, both logically and emotionally, are quite different. Most of them would rather have an automated "I'm sorry" because it fits their expectations for service protocol. They also probably prefer a barista impersonally saying "Sorry, it's just going to be another minute" while making eye contact and noting your acknowledgement to their dryly saying "your coffee is late because you and other people in front of you had complicated coffee drinks" and walking away. Eveyrbody knows that the barista has no emotional stake in your coffee being two minutes late beyond it putting them in the weeds. That's not the point. It communicates "I respect you enough to acknowledge your existence and that your inconvenience is consequential" which is actually true in most cases. Outside of the tech business, few people realize the extent to which that is false at Amazon.
It’s an incredibly condescending exercise, both to the managers (lol at a reduction of meeting time, is the assumption that managers go to meetings for fun?), and to the people who actually run support (who get to use already stretched resources to herd untrained, resentful managers).

Google’s products aren’t bad because the VP’s have lost the meaning of holding your customer dear. Maybe their senior managers are stuffed with former startup founders, all visionaries in their own minds, who collect big windfalls to join, play at empire building for a few years, then quit in a huff and blog about how it’s everyone else’s fault.
You don't remember any except the salmond case because the left wing media treat the SNP very softly. There were lots of scandals during her time, e.g. the ferries disaster, the current gender self id / rapist case, the missing 660k, her regular faked inability to recall critical facts when questioned about things, breaking her own mask mandate, threatening to prosecute MSPs if they spoke against Sturgeon, the attempt to take complete power over from the Scottish Parliament via a pandemic law etc.
There’s much more to this:

Someone needs to decide on the ESG rating. Usually, these are elaborate sets of rules. The people who decide one these rules have an advantage of buying/selling affected companies before the rules change. Also, I as an investor might not agree with alle the decisions they make.

I don’t see why I should prefer ESG over pure profit-oriented businesses. If a certain behavior would be harmful to society, we should prohibit it by law and not by trying to convince some investors so that other investors make even more profits.

Probably, we don’t prohibit certain things because they aren’t that evil. Alcohol can make you really sick and destroy your family. On the other hand, alcohol can fuel a fun party after weeks of stressful work.
Weapons can be really bad in the hands of a criminal. Or life-saving in case you need to defend yourself (or your country).
Android has its big share of problems, but at least they allow you to build APKs that you can just run on your phone, and even use 3rd-party stores.

I've never understood the reasons that would push a developer to use an Apple device, given how unreasonably constrained they are.
And yet the plants crave Brawndo
The things I wrote are facts. She really did get confused watching average TV shows, and couldn't calculate basically anything. And she does work at Google now as some kind of project manager. I am not whining about her. I am whining about the poor hires google makes these days, which might explain the downward trajectory of their products we all see.
You’re still citing “opinions”, not facts, and more so, unpersonalised ones. “Concerns have been raised”, “People say”, etc.
> dunk on the people making insurance payments to cover his bail! It's a weird thing to decide to do! But none of it has much to do with anything fundamental about the case.

So the components you are talking about are simpler UI components for which Shadow DOM is overkill? For advanced components like a grid, you would still recommend going with Shadow Dom?
> Kantianism is not the predominant view among working metaphysicians today

Which gladly nobody claimed to be the case. "At least since Kant" gives us a time frame not a causal link — and even if it did pretend there was a causal link, any philosopher wouldn't have to be a Kantian in order to agree to a thing Kant said about Plato's concept. Or phrased differently: A Non-Kantian can agree with Kant on a thing Kant said about Plato without suddenly becoming a Kantian.

What the poster said here is to my knowledge correct (I studied philosophy).

They don't have authority and jurisdiction to just "arrest" (aka kidnap in this case) people from other countries.

If they actually want to arrest someone, the local authorities need to do it, and they would agree only if the request is valid based on their international agreements, their asylum laws, etc.
Doubtful. I don't know if it's true, but, from the article:

> “We’re seeing the Chinese government resort to blackmail, threats of violence, stalking and kidnappings. They’ve actually engaged criminal organisations in the US, offering them bounties in hopes of successfully taking targets back to China,” said Mr Wray last year.

You don't blackmail or threaten terror suspects, you'd kidnap them immediately. And from the numbers, if "thousands" is accurate, there isn't that much terrorism going on.

Looks more like an intimidation campaign against oppositional Chinese people living abroad.
Efficient markets require perfect information. Free market is nowhere near efficient.
See how easy it is to fall into assuming I care? This is not "compelled speech" in the sense of the Constitution, anyway, your disingenuous attempts to paint it as such notwithstanding.
I would think there's a legal way around that - maybe donate the rights to the affected materials to a private charitable trust that is exempt.
>They should not be allowed to discriminate against me just because I chose to own my system.

App developers don't care if you own your system. They just want a way to prove that the device their app is running on is secure and that the client has not been modified. If there was a way for you to prove that to them they wouldn't mind.

>They should not even be able to figure out what software I'm running, to say nothing of "treating me different".

They just want to know that the client has not been tampered with so that they know you are not going to shall user's tokens, scrape people's information, or mondo automated actions as a bot. A signal that you are using the vanilla client makes you much more trust worthy to a service.

>"Don't want to serve us" unless we let them invade and own our machines?

Apps aren't invading your machine. They just want some guarantees about the environment they are operating in. The information that they get from you is the package's name, certificate, version, whether it's from the play store, whether your device passes integrity checks, and whether the app is properly licensed.
Because the "found" ones have not been proven to be the best. They're just the best known.
For context, the sum total of Google's capex last year (offices, data centers, networking, everything) was around $30B. Meaning they could spend (almost!) every cent of that on YouTube video storage and still come out ahead.
Because the real reason for the Supreme Court's jurisprudence regarding the Federal Arbitration Act over the past 30 years is the reduction of Federal case load (via diversity jurisdiction). To overturn long-settled precedent they had to apply a series of novel rationales that continue to metastasize. Not that the conservatives on the court are complaining as it (probably not coincidentally) has coincided with a conservative political shift that, like their liberal counterparts from earlier eras, see Federal courts generally and SCOTUS in particular as a vehicle for imposing conservative policies on liberal states.
