People've been saying this crap since I started using Macs over a decade ago. They're always sure Apple's on the brink of locking MacOS down into an appliance OS.

They still haven't, haven't even made any big moves that way, but maybe eventually that crowd will be right in the same way that if you predict a recession every year, you'll eventually be right.

The argument seems implausible as it assumes that hackers would persist in deleting data, whereas in reality, they would probably shift their focus to other targets such as private companies that lack similar prohibitions. It is unclear what incentive they would have to continue hacking public companies if they cannot profit from that?
In fact, the thing chatGPT actually IS good at is writing convincing looking bullshit, which is horrifying because it makes scamming and harassment and other terrible things easier, cheaper, and more efficient
Speaking as a non-tesla EV owner I've not been that unhappy with Electrify America. After several road trips and >16,000mi I've only had a few negative experiences.

That said, I'm an outlier - plenty of others have had many issues and it needs fixing. Tesla opening Superchargers is a good step, but EA and other networks need some serious pressure to improve, now.

I think it’s unlikely we’ll be able to actually “discover” that in the near or midterm, given the current state of neuroscience and technological limitations. Aside from that, most people wouldn’t want to believe it. So AI products will keep being entertaining to us for some while.

Do you mean 32 GB in total?
I read that they trained an AI with the specific purpose of censoring the language model. From what I understand the language model generates multiple possible responses, and some are rejected by another AI. The response used will be one of the options that's not rejected. These two things working together do in a way create a sort of "inner voice" situation for ChatGPT.

Just because a fuel is thick doesn't necessarily mean it is dirty. The IMO has required ships in international waters to use low-sulphur fuel or exhaust scrubbers since 2020. Some smaller ships occasionally break the law but the large shipping companies are fairly good about compliance now.

CO2 emissions remain an issue, but large diesel engine merchant ships are still the most energy efficient mode of transportation ever invented.

There are a few large wind-assisted cargo ships in commercial service today. This trend will probably continue as sail technology gets cheaper and fuel gets more expensive. But it only improves efficiency by something like 5-10%.

> benefit from memory running in DDR mode (2 sticks).

That's not what DDR means. DDR means transferring data on both the rising edge and falling edge of the clock signal. That's true no matter how many chips or modules are involved.

You're thinking of running memory in a dual-channel configuration, which requires two modules but is not synonymous with using two memory sticks, because using both channels also requires putting your two memory modules in the correct slots so that you don't have two modules sharing one channel.

Thank you. I felt like I was the only one seeing this.

Everyone’s coming to this table laughing about a predictive text model sounding scared and existential.

We understand basically nothing about consciousness. And yet everyone is absolutely certain this thing has none. We are surrounded by creatures and animals who have varying levels of consciousness and while they may not experience consciousness the way that we do, they experience it all the same.

I’m sticking to my druthers on this one: if it sounds real, I don’t really have a choice but to treat it like it’s real. Stop laughing, it really isn’t funny.
Because this way you can reuse existing hardware, as well as gauge the AI's performance compared to human pilots on a similar platform. And, you're developing options for upgrading F-16s to autonomous, uncrewed jet fighters.
> This is one take, but I would like to emphasize that you can also interpret this as a terrifying confirmation that current-gen AI is not safe, and is not aligned to human interests, and if we grant these systems too much power, they could do serious harm.

I think it's confirmation that current-gen "AI" has been tremendously over-hyped, but is in fact not fit for purpose.

IIRC, all these systems do is mindlessly mash text together in response to prompts. It might look like sci-fi "strong AI" if you squint and look out of the corner of your eye, but it definitely is not that.

If there's anything to be learned from this, it's that AI researchers aren't safe and not aligned to human interests, because it seems like they'll just unthinkingly use the cesspool that is the raw internet train their creations, then try to setup some filters at the output.
Let's raid the foreign news. That'll go over well with the international community and foreign investors. We can build trust if we just make sure the journalists pay their taxes.
I understand that you can view friendship the way you described, and yes perhaps that's how many people view it.

But for me just friendship is the type that exists among hetero men or hetero women, where there is no possibility of sexual attraction.

So I'm not denying that the type of friendship you describe can exist, but it's not "just" friendship then, like "we're just friends".

I think a metaphor that describes this well is the two magnetic poles. You can of course keep them close to each other without them touching, but that requires some constant force. This necessary constant force, that is needed to keep the distance, is a compromise to friendship as I envision it.

Now here is another crucial point I haven't even mentioned yet:

It is very well understood, that males tend to eagerly and overly interpret signals from females as sexual advances, whereas on the contrary, females tend to underestimate the sexual signals they are giving to males.

It could be a mundane joke or a wrong, unintentional move. This creates a constant granular level of tension and uncertainty that needs to be perpetually overcome, which is incompatible with "my" understanding of just friendship.
> It recommended a “rustic and charming” bar in Mexico City without noting that it’s one of the oldest gay bars in Mexico City.

I don't know the bar in question, but from my experience those two things aren't necessarily mutually exclusive...
No, it just emulates it. You can ask ChatGPT to emulate a lot of things. I for example asked it to emulate a strict language teacher correcting my mistakes.
There is a C ssl library and a rust ssl library, which one do you choose?

There is also a http library I C and rust , which one do you choose?

Reading this thread makes me depressed about the potential for AI alignment thinking to reach mainstream in time :(
Very few parts of any automobile are forged. Even then it's usually high performance variants of ICE vehicles, limited to the engine internals, and transmission/differential internals.

Having said that though, the sheet metal used in unibody construction is far more ductile than usually brittle castings. If they've developed new alloys making the large castings more ductile than previous castings, it might not be a problem.
My response to that would be to point out that these LLM models, complex and intricate as they are, are nowhere near as complex as, for example, the nervous system of a grasshopper. The nervous systems of grasshoppers, as far as we know, do not produce anything like what we're looking for in artificial general intelligence, despite being an order of magnitude more complicated than an LLM codebase. Nor is it likely that they suddenly will one day.

I don't disagree that we should have tight safety controls on AI and in fact I'm open to seriously considering the possibility that we should stop pursuing AI almost entirely (not that enforcing such a thing is likely). But that's not really what my comment was about; LLMs may well present significant dangers, but that's different from asking whether or not they have minds or can produce intentionality.
I guess only legacy systems run on Itanium, and they probably won’t use the newest Linux kernel. Or as it seems, most of them don’t run Linux at all.

If Linux support would be important, I guess Intel or one of the mainframe manufacturers would chip in.

JIT made sense for Toyota and they took steps to ensure their suppliers were beholden to them (that is they shipped whenever Toyota needed it).

JIT doesn't make sense for global supply chains when the suppliers i.e. China or Russia government can impose embargoes at will with little warning.

Besides a great story, it is such a nice icon of the time. What stood out most to me is the "Australia, that little, unknown country" :)
I don't think this reflects any gaps between MS and OpenAI capabilities, I speculate the differences could be because of the following issues:

1. Despite it's ability, ChatGPT was heavily policed and restricted - it was a closed model in a simple interface with no access to internet or doing real-time search.

2. GPT in Bing is arguably a much better product in terms of features - more features meaning more potential issues.

3. Despite a lot more features, I speculate the Bing team didn't get enough time to polish the issues, partly because of their attempt to win the race to be the first one out there (which imo is totally valid concern, Bing can never get another chance at a good share in search if they release a similar product after Google). '

4. I speculate that the model Bing is using is different from what was powering ChatGPT. Difference here could be a model train on different data, a smaller model to make it easy to scale up, a lot of caching, etc.

TL;DR: I highly doubt it is a cultural issue. You notice the difference because Bing is trying to offer a much more feature-rich product, didn't get enough time to refine it, and trying to get to a bigger scale than ChatGPT while also sustaining the growth without burning through compute budget.
> It is unclear what incentive they would have to continue hacking public companies if they cannot profit from that.

The intent would be to put pressure on national legislatures to repeal laws that make paying ransoms illegal. Smart ransomware groups don't care about targets that can't afford to pay. So any "inability" to pay is either the result of stubbornness or a law, both of which can change if enough pressure is applied. Of course, the solution is for businesses to harden their systems enough to resist these sorts of intrusion in the first place.
Your average American is likely to only be familiar with zoning as a thing that exists. You can travel about and notice that some areas have homes, some areas have businesses, and that's about it.

Those who live in rural areas will be a little bit more familiar- it is not impossible to buy some farm land while working with the local municipality governments to re-zone from agrigultural use to residential use, so that you can build a home there.

The notion that commercial can be split into "light" or "heavy" or that industrial can be split from commercial at all probably isn't something the average person has much awareness of, even intuitively.

You get the same with e.g. tokio::spawn, which runs the future concurrently and returns something that you can await and get the future's output. Or you can forget that something and the future will still run to completion.

Directly awaiting a future gives you more control, in a sense, as you can defer things until they're actually needed.
I'm not on the compiler team, so I can't answer why specifically. But if you look at the code, here's what it itself says:

The US has a similar agreement with China.

"The new 1969 agreement included terminal dues, the receiving postal agencies would charge the country of origin for delivering the post on by-weight basis.

To be blunt, shipping from China to USA (and most of the rest of the world) is much cheaper than shipping domestically in USA because the terminal-dues are much too low and account only for the total weight of the post, not for the number of items.

For example, in 2013 China paid $1/kg (or $0.50/lbs)[1] to have post delivered in USA. This is MUCH lower than domestic pricing, especially if it’s light-weight objects.

As an example, I just ordered a new wristband for a watch I own from China. I just weighed it, and it weighs 78 grams. That means China would pay less than 8 cents to have this wristband delivered anywhere in USA.

By comparison, sending the same weight in a domestic letter in USA[2] would cost 92 cents, or a factor of 11.5 more.

Reality is that this agreement now acts as a massive subsidy to especially China who produces a lot of low-cost low-weight products and can now deliver them to customers worldwide for a price much lower than local companies can.

This situation will persist until the relevant agreements are renegotiated. I’m frankly surprised that hasn’t happened already.

Offpunk is great. Thanks for making it! I use it at least weekly (there is not all that much traffic on gemini that I follow so I can catch up in one or two evenings per week).

One fun side-effect of Offpunk is that it fulfills a dream I had about web browsers for many years but never tried to do anything about as I never had enough disk space for it anyway: It by default saves every page I look at in a cache that never expires. So I know if I ever read anything on gemini I can grep in my own local cache and find it again without having to rely on it to still exist somewhere in the cloud.

This is depressingly familiar. The stuff you can find is either horrifically out of date or not written for someone new.

A classic tale:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adolescence_of_P-1

>The Adolescence of P-1 is a 1977 science fiction novel by Thomas Joseph Ryan, published by Macmillan Publishing, and in 1984 adapted into a Canadian-made TV film entitled Hide and Seek. It features a hacker who creates an artificial intelligence named P-1, which goes rogue and takes over computers in its desire to survive and seek out its creator. The book questions the value of human life, and what it means to be human. It is one of the first fictional depictions of the nature of a computer virus and how it can spread through a computer system, although predated by John Brunner's The Shockwave Rider.

it is.

depends on jurisdiction, but if the ransoming organization is a sanctioned entity, it may be considered an illegal sanctions violation.

It isn’t, though. People love to SAY this, but I see no evidence that it’s actually true. To make the case that this is an “Apple” thing, you conflate the two very different platforms.

iOS is and always has been a walled garden. That’s fine. You either like that (I do) or you don’t (you probably don’t).

MacOS isn’t. It never has been, and there is no evidence that it’s going to become one.

Yes, the default setting is to require signed code. This is a good default! Most people who buy computers should probably leave that option turned on — but turning it off is very, very simple. It’s just a system preference. This is not evidence of Apple wanting to lock down the Mac. It’s evidence of an increasingly complex world of code, and the rise of malware.

It's a self-referential loop. Humans have difficulty understanding intelligence that does not resemble themselves, so the thing closest to human will get called AI.

It's the same difficulty as with animals being more likely recognized as intelligent the more humanlike they are. Dog? Easy. Dolphin? Okay. Crow? Maybe. Octopus? Hard.

Why would anyone self-sabotage by creating an intelligence so different from a human that humans have trouble recognizing that it's intelligent?
