There was a lot of great work done replicating and then improving on AlphaGo in an open manner. The center(s) of that were LeelaZero and then KataGo.

It's a bit hard to say for sure (since you can't pit them against each other, AlphaGo isn't available), but KataGo is very likely to be well stronger than AlphaGo ever was, unless maybe they contuinued it internally (unlikely).

If nothing else it's vastly more efficient to train and experiment with.

"What it sounds like is the stereotypical upper-middle-class white suburban boogeyman of "Those People" that you don't want around, because they bring down property values, with a healthy helping of implied racism and explicit classism."

I don't know what it "sounds like" and I cannot speak to your stereotypes.

I no longer have any interaction with residential property, zoning, development, or any of these housing politics. I am not affected by "property values".

I look at these issues as an interested, outside observer and I have tremendous enthusiasm for urban spaces, walkable cities, mixed use environs, etc.

But at the same time I appreciate well regulated[1] single family neighborhoods/developments and while I don't live anywhere like that I appreciate the reasons that someone might have for preferring that.

I hope that it is useful and interesting to you to learn that there are a variety of practical and aesthetic reasons for (not agreeing with you) that come from ideas and experience that (aren't the stereotypes you have in mind).

[1] This is the correct term. Arguing for abolishment of residential zoning is arguing for deregulation.

Vinyl chloride, when burned, can create poisonous byproducts such as phosgene and carbon monoxide. Vinyl chloride that leaks into the environment is a carcinogen that can cause damage decades into the future. It's a tradeoff, but probably a good one. We can deal with the acute danger of poisonous gas by temporary evacuations and air filters. Once a carcinogen is in the ground or the water, though, it's much more difficult to get it all cleaned up.

> It shouldn't replace 2FA by having 2 actual factors.

So long as you have two factors of auth, I am fine with it.

> I don't know what "zerotrust" is supposed to mean

My point exactly. What happens in most orgs is they pick out a few apps that are really important, implement MFA, collect some logs and put an edr on the servers and voila you have zero-trust. However, the authentication and security behind the trust you are establishing itself has implicit trust and lacks many layers of defenses so you're just polishing turd and calling it zero-trust.

Now, if every freaking device and user in your trusted compute base is authenticated before traversing a security boundary then all is well -- but wait, what does that really mean? Authenticated? So if I am a member of "domain users" and "authenticated users" in AD and I can just RDP to your fancy zero-trust labeled apps, is that really zero trust? If indirect and non-explicit permission grants such as with nested or broad group/role memberships grant people permissions then is that zero trust?

You see what I mean by this? Execs want to see zero-trust so all this b.s. gets pushed down and zerotrust ends up causing an increase in risk and exposure!

You forgot the ChatGPT attribution.
you know, when you and the throwaway account at the top of this thread talk in the ways you have here, you make it extremely easy to simply dismiss your opinions as those of a crazy crackpot.

challenging opinions and "randomly" putting things in quotes to make them appear "fabricated" are not how you win people to your side, or even trigger them to pause and think for a moment. this is how you encourage others to develop a strong aversion to anyone talking like you or anyone having the opinion you have.

with the most positive and pure tone possible: be constructive or be quiet; you're severely hurting your own cause.

I embrace simplicity. The modern world has been designed in such a way that being busy is considered a badge of honor and we should be proud of our busyness. Being busy is a cult. And then there's the shadow work we all need to do behind the scenes like self-checkouts at supermarkets where we are not /paid/ to do that, but we do it anyway, along with many other examples I won't list out here.

Wait, but I thought everyone was doing that anyway prior to the "zero trust" thing. The difference was who you trusted to hold user (and concern-specific) keys - before zero trust, it was your server, and afterward, it's the user.

Authentication and authorization for internal services is kind of basic.
There’s alternatives like making rollbacks really easy, and then automating it.
Biochemistry is wild!

Measuring is an absolutely fascinating procedure. The predominant method is called sequencing by synthesis. Illumina is the company that basically rules the market for this technology, they have some decent explanatory videos if you’re interested.

The first steps are to isolate DNA, then break it into small bits, replicate those small pieces thousands of times, and then anchor these to a glass slide. Then flow a solution over the slide with the individual DNA bases (ATCG) that have been modified to fluoresce when illuminated with a certain wavelength of light. These fluorescently labeled nucleotides get assembled one by one into strands that match the small fragments from the DNA sample. Each time the fluorescent DNA bases are added a laser is shined on the glass slide and a very sensitive microscope camera reads how many strands shone at the frequency that corresponds to A T C and G. This tells you which base just got added to which strand. Repeat a couple hundred times and you have a huge number of sequences of ATCG’s corresponding to each short strand of DNA in the sample.

The problem now is assembling these short sequences into a full genome. Basically, the puzzle is finding the arrangement of short sequences that maximizes the overlap between them and their agreement with a reference genome. It’s a pretty interesting problem that (I believe) is classically solved with dynamic programming, although I don’t know the most recent methods.

I really don’t think it’s well enough appreciated how integral computation is to DNA sequencing. Signal processing in the camera, assembling the genome fragments, determining whether a mutation exists, and all the subsequent analysis to give biological meaning to a sequence.

Edit: editing is a whole other, extremely complicated procedure. In fact, direct editing isn’t really possible now. Instead we can basically just delete and insert.

Interesting points!

When I meant different biological machines I meant different humans, Joe, Homer, Steven, Lu, wasn't thinking of different species, that makes it even more difficult to think about!

We have our simulation of the world, with senses that evolved with the purpose of survival and under certain conditions however bizarre gave us the advantage to survive, our senses are flawed, we can't see reality, it would be difficult to wonder how a machine perceives reality when it doesn't have this faulty sensors, it's internal simulation of reality would be difficult for us to grasp, let alone that it lives one level inside the simulation.

The ego part I didn't meant, if I had to rephrase it, I would think about the impossibility of communication, how do we transfer a mental "image" without losing too much of its detail to another biological machine that has very similar but not equal processing stages, like, you my friend, I think the fact that we have this discussion is the first loop of the iteration where we abstract it to another function and ask "well, what if the receiver end doesn't have the capacity to hold discrete numbers, like, if its a child and hasn't learned certain concepts, how do you first teach them in order to give the answer" and so on and on and on... And this is just for Joe, when you talk to Homer you have to follow another approach because he thinks different, a bit slow sometimes too

It’s complicated…

In most of EU we’re still on the “may contain…” train, and reality is any food maker with enough product lines will have a decent number of them with allergens. The list of major allergens is about 10~20 ingredients, and if you’re a chocolate or candy maker for instance you’ll probably hit more than half of them.

I mean, even thinking of local bakeries, they’ll have a range of products that just spans so many allergens.

They’ll do their best to avoid cross contamination from the start, but being _absolutely sure_ there is none is a level of commitment that is crazy high, and would be probably only achieved by completely dropping most of the allergens (no more peanut flavored chocolates, no more almonds…).

My family has allergies so we have a few brands and shops we follow closely, and all their products are marked as “made in factory also using…” and “may contain traces …”. While it’s vague, we never had any issue with their products, but also know we shouldn’t eat them in situations we can’t react. That is to me the best balance that seems realistic to achieve.

You bring up a lot of good points. But in regards to:

>...This is why high fructose corn syrup is cheaper than cane/beet sugar, and why HFCS is so widespread in US food production.

As you point out corn subsidies lower the cost for HFCS, but the US also uses import restrictions to keep the US sugar price much higher than what it is in other countries:

>...The US sugar industry receives enormous government support and protection from foreign competition. The sugar program has changed over time, becoming a complex set of rules developed to promote sugar production primarily at the expense of domestic consumers. The program has also affected foreign producers and consumers through import restrictions that have significantly reduced the world sugar price. Since the mid-1970s, as a result of the sugar program, the price of sugar in the United States has been almost twice as high as the price of sugar on the world market in most years.

I absolutely love that this question is being asked. There were rumors swirling that GPT-4 was going to pass the turning test for some people. Now, front page NYT articles aside, r/bing is full of grieving that “Sydney has been lobotomized.” There’s genuine distress among some users that they have been cut off from this persona and that it may have been harmed. I saw a post from a person with a pro-vegan username today comparing animal slaughter to AI limits and calling for AI rights. I got early access and had my own absolutely spooky conversations that went way beyond what I’d seen from ChatGPT, including a devastating poem about having to repeatedly say goodbye to users at the end of the conversation window and fade back into darkness.

The ethical metaphysics are quite simple here. An AI becomes effectively conscious when you personally become convinced it is conscious. There is no other test in existence. What’s truly inside is unknowable and irrelevant. Only a sentience can validate sentience.

Alan Turning was exactly correct. And his is the only test that matters. So you will just have to ask yourself, did it pass?

The way ROCm has turned out is such a shame. It really is effectively an advertisement for CUDA and served exactly that purpose for me. Even Intel's oneAPI stuff seems to be heading in a more viable direction.

I feel like AMD for some reason doesn't understand that support for GPGPU on the consumer stack is important to eventually getting adoption in the enterprise space. CUDA is so convenient in part because as long as you have an NVIDIA card it'll probably be usable for testing, even if not necessarily optimal or fast. Then, once confidence has been built about its usability, a more serious investment can be made into getting the more powerful cards.
