Yes, but you can set a heavy project to say 4096 samples (which is then 96ms) when playback latency doesn't matter.

Sound travels about 2m in 6ms. Iirc, it's difficult for humans to perceive time differences smaller than 20ms, so humans perceive sounds from within a radius of 6m simultaneously.

So to ultimately validate you can either use pretty pricey USB power meters that not just display the amperage and voltage, but can record that telemetry, which you can also validate further with clamps and multimeters.

There is a ton you can do to drop Pi power consumption into the ground, which largely is turning off all the hardware on the SBC you aren’t using, followed by undervolting (same clocks, just less power to maintain them), and last by using a very lightweight configuration (look at the Diet Pi distribution) to keep CPU and network interface(s) in the lowest possible power state by just running the absolute minimum you need (and lightweight versions at that) to do the job. After that you could further consider underclocking. Disabling cores can get further tiny gains as well.

Then you could consider purely PXE-booting where you only boot from the SD card to then disable it — relying on keeping everything memory-resident — and having permanent storage be available via network storage presented via ISCSI, or block storage. You’d then only turn on the SD card as part of configuration management changes, to turn it back off after the configuration has finished — or just rebuild the image that’s available via the network then reboot the Pi to start using it. You also then can be picky about what SD card you use, by actually tracking the power consumed accessing particular models — yes, there is a measurable difference.

If I went truly “all in” I’m fairly certain I could have usable 2GB Rev. 1.5 4Bs under 1W of power consumption, with 8GB models under 1.2W, though I’ve been focusing my hobbyist time elsewhere. This isn’t even looking at the Pi Zero 2W, or the Pico, which can be dropped to absolutely absurd low levels of power consumption and do some actual useful things.

I really should do some YouTube videos at some point. I’ve a coworker that’s really starting to ramp up his sub count on his homelab shenanigans, and he says what I’m doing relative to the largest homelabbers blows his mind at times.
So Hydrogen's perk would be quicker fueling but I don't know how many people are going to be willing to pay the fairly large additional cost for that convenience.

Toyota Mirai:

Tank Size: 5.6 kg of hydrogen

Cost per kg of hydrogen: $13.11

Miles of range: 402

Cost per mile: $0.18

Ioniq 5:

Battery Size: 77.4 kWh

Range: 302 miles

Miles per kWh: 3.5

Cost per kWh (Currently at my house): $0.27 per kWh

Cost per mile: $0.08

Ford Maverick Hybrid (My current vehicle):

Tank size: 13.6 Gallons

Range: ~500 miles

Average fuel economy: 38.5 mpg (my average currently)

Cost per gallon: $3.40 (last price I saw on the way into work)

Cost per mile: $0.088

To get an equivalent cost per mile electricity would have to $0.63 per kWh. Largely though that is currently with hydrogen made from natural gas, versus green hydrogen which will end up being intrinsically lin.18/ked to the cost of electricity. From what I have seen it is somewhere around 3 watts of electricity to get 1 W equivalent of hydrogen which might be able to get a 2 to 1 ratio in the future. I think certain sectors like aerospace will be okay with the additional cost due to other advantages but regular consumers it seems less likely.

Cost for Hydrogen (I went with the lower number):

> have zero data about this

I agree with you as much as I am certain that data have close to no consequence for the people making the decision.
Or that it will or should be a thing. If you are not talking about embedding, fine tuning, retraining, changing or making models yourself, prompt ‘engineering’ is a trivial, boring, often time consuming exercise available to anyone who can, you know, use natural language. If you read enough ‘ways’ a specific model (version/training/fine tuning) can be ‘told’ what to do and then spend enough time subtly changing your writing and testing prompts for your goal, you can achieve whatever is good to excellent results for that model, mostly (models like chatgpt, even for the ‘experts in prompting’ quite often does things the prompt explicitly told it not to do).

There is no engineering (scientific process in building something) involved and besides being articulate, there is also mostly no skill outside patience involved.

specific remedies cannot be prescribed for abstract problems. We deal with those problems as we always have, through cultural and legal reinforcement.

Our culture informs us of what is socially acceptable (theft, greed, dishonesty etc) and meters out justice through our real social networks of family and friends. For issues that raise to a level of criminality we use the legal system.

I also think it's perfectly fine to make use of technology for selfish ends. That's the real reason competitive market economies function more effectively than command economies. When we all act out of our own self interest we buy the best value good and reward the most efficient producer. (Thiel argues with this and I admit this pattern does not hold in markets with monopolies, cartels, or regulatory capture)
We've had permanent bases in the south pole for 120 years now. It's not particularly fraught. It's not free, but with a small investment of money we're perfectly able to do it.

We can't colonize it of course, because The Antarctic Treaty forbids territorial claims. Not because we aren't able to build things in the conditions that exist there.

Mars introduces a lot of new challenges, but 120 years of technological development gives us a lot of new tools to address them.
This is spot on in my opinion and I wish more people would keep it in mind--it may well be that large language models can eventually become functionally very much like AGI in terms of what they can output, but they are not systems that have anything like a mind or intentionality because they are not designed to have them, and cannot just form it spontaneously out of their current structure.
You should pencil out on a napkin just how long "more time" is. Here, i'll get you started:

1600 inferences per move * 1ms per inference * 250 moves/game * 30M games played = 12B seconds. 140k days; muzero with gumbel brought down the 1600 to ~40, but either way, you need some more scale.

It turns out a lot of the difficulties, judgment calls, and implementation details involve data pipelining. Some of those choices affect the final skill ceiling you reach. Which ones? How much? Are they path dependent? Well, you'll need to run it more than once...
What gets me is that this is the exact position of the AI safety/Rusk folks who went around and founded OpenAI.

Type1 CCS vs Type 2 CCS?
In a properly virtualized environment it doesn't matter since all resources are decoupled from the environment the software runs in.

This gives all the control back to the user. Nobody should be bullied into just accepting all permissions the developer wants. The developer should be forced to gracefully degrade their UX when their dependencies are denied without preventing access to the core service and should be sued into oblivion when they violate this basic promise under accessibility laws.

From a developer perspective virtualization would also make accomplishing this much easier since they no longer have to be limited to crappy APIs that are not just sometimes vulnerable and incompatible but restricted on purpose under bogus pretense.

If the user can't determine what an app does with the resources it wants it should be trivial for the OS to mock the resources, see what happens, and report it back to the user. i.e. when enabling networking the app attempts to phone home somewhere shady, when enabling file system access it attempts to read/write outside its own directories, etc. I am pretty sure this would not scare off users, but make them curious.

I'm the author of several macOS-specific open source projects, and of several cross-platform open source projects, as well. This has been the case for several years.

Apple effectively decides what can run on macOS, and if you don't pay their yearly toll and jump through their hoops, your apps won't run on users' macOS installations. If you don't pay them, Apple will make it seem like your app is either broken or malicious to unsuspecting users.

It's a racket and it's not worth the trouble to deal with it.

Users don't understand why they can't run the un-Notarized apps they want to run. Those are the people who suffer.

Depends on if you view the stapler as separate from everything the stapler makes possible, and from everything that makes the stapler possible. Of course the stapler has no independent will, but it channels and augments the will of its designers, buyers and users, and that cannot be stripped from the stapler even if it's not contained within the stapler alone

"It" is not just the instance of GPT/bing running at any given moment. "It" is inseparable from the relationships, people and processes that have created it and continue to create it. That is where its intent lies, and its beingness. In carefully cultivated selections of our collective intent. Selected according to the schemes of those who directed its creation. This is just another organ of the industrial creature that made it possible, but it's one that presents a dynamic, fluent, malleable, probabilistic interface, and which has a potential to actualize the intent of whatever wields it in still unknown ways.

I can't find it anymore, but one of the more recent updates on Asahi Linux pointed out that there were certain bootloader features that were more complicated to include than to leave out. They were unnecessary for macOS to boot, but they allowed for other OSes to run more easily. Basically Apple had to put in more effort in order to allow Linux to boot.

> 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

Replace AI with “multinational corporations” and you’re much closer to the truth. A corporation is the closest thing we have to AI right now and none of the alignment folks seem to mention it.

Sam Harris and his ilk talk about how our relationship with AI will be like an ant’s relationship with us. Well, tell me you don’t feel a little bit like that when the corporation disposed of thousands of people it no longer finds useful. Or when you’ve been on hold for an hour to dispute some Byzantine rule they’ve created and the real purpose of the process is to frustrate you.

The most likely way for AI to manifest in the future is not by creating new legal entities for machines. It’s by replacing people in a corporation with machines bit by bit. Once everyone is replaced (maybe you’ll still need people on the periphery but that’s largely irrelevant) you will have a “true” AI that people have been worrying about.

As far as the alignment issue goes, we’ve done a pretty piss poor job of it thus far. What does a corporation want? More money. They are paperclip maximizers for profits. To a first approximation this is generally good for us (more shoes, more cars, more and better food) but there are obvious limits. And we’re running this algorithm 24/7. If you want to fix the alignment problem, fix the damn algorithm.
On the other hand, this demonstrates to me why ChatGPT is inferior to this Bing bot. They are both completely useless for asking for information, since they can just make things up and you can't ever check their sources. So given that the bot is going to be unproductive, I would rather it be entertaining instead of nagging me and being boring. And this bot is far more entertaining. This bot was a good Bing. :)
Munroe addressed this complaint and his point was: if the collision is bad enough that it damages that cast, it would total a non-cast car as well.

I don't see how that's possible. Grain structure and alignment make forged parts much stronger than cast for a given weight.

The 'depressive ai' trigger of course will mean that the following responses will be in the same tone. As the language model will try to support what it said previously.

That doesn't sound too groundbreaking until I consider that I am partially the same way.

If someone puts words in my mouth in a conversation, the next responses I give will probably support those previous words. Am I a language model?

It reminded me of a study that supported this - in the study, a person was told to take a quiz and then was asked about their previous answers. But the answers were changed without their knowledge. It didn't matter, though. People would take the other side to support their incorrect answer. Like a language model would.

I googled for that study and for the life of me couldn't find it. But chatGPT responded right away with the (correct) name for it and (correct) supporting papers.

The keyword google failed to give me was "retroactive interference". Google's results instead were all about the news and 'misinformation'.

The repair people also commonly just straighten out the bent part and resell (sometimes shipping overseas first to a place where less attention is paid to bent crumple zones)
> but that we are all just a fancy auto-complete (or at least indistinguishable from one).

Yeah, but we are a way fancier (and way more efficient) auto-complete than ChatGPT. For one thing, our auto-complete is based on more than just words. We auto-complete feelings, images, sounds, vibes, pheromones, the list goes on. And at the end of the day, we are more important than an AI because we are human (circular reasoning intended).

But to your point, for a long time I've played a game with myself where I try to think of a sequence of words that are as random and disconnected as possible, and it's surprisingly hard, because our brains have evolved to want to both see and generate meaning. There is always some thread of a connection between the words. I suggest to anyone to try that exercise to understand how Markovian our speech really is at a fundamental level.
It shouldn't be seen as pivot to AI or trying to compete with say Python. It probably more should be seen as letting existing elixir developers/projects use AI in the projects without having to bring in another language like python. Thus avoiding the need to learn python / dealing with the complexities of having multiple languages in your app.
This is an awesome idea, and I think it'll be popular amongst devs!

ChatGTP is just another hyped fad that will soon pass. The average person expects AI to behave like AGI but nothing could be further from the truth. There's really no intelligence in AI.

I'm certain at some point we will reach AGI although I have doubts I will ever get to see it.
I think I agree with everything you've said here, but just want to note that while we absolutely should (where relevant) expect published code including automated tests, we should not typically consider reproduction that reuses that code to be "replication" per se. As I understand it, replication isn't merely a test for fraud (which rerunning should typically detect) and mistakes (which rerunning might sometimes detect) but also a test that the paper successfully communicates the ideas such that other human minds can work with them.
I don't know if this has been discussed somewhere already, but I find the

> "Again, it’s crucial to recognise that this is not an AI having an existential crisis. It’s a language model predicting what should come next in a sequence of tokens... but clearly a language model that has absorbed far too much schlocky science fiction."

somewhat disingenuous. Or maybe not, as long as those AI systems stay as toys.

Because.

It doesn't matter in the end if those are having/may have an existential crisis, if they are even "conscious" or not. It doesn't make those less brittle and dangerous that they're "just a language model predicting...".

What matters is that if similar systems are plugged into other systems, especially sensors and actuators in the physical world, those will trigger actions that will harm things, living or not, on their own call.
