This is indeed an excellent strategy, and is perhaps the greatest advancement ever in business models. Nevertheless, there is still a cost-benefit snd cash flow analysis necessary for the amount of that discount. This works easily for software businesses because the gross margins are so high. But that 20% is still money left on the table…
I'm cautious about new technology powers, but I like the idea of reducing the risks of high-speed chases.

I'd guess that they'll increasingly also be able to order the computers of modern/emerging vehicles to slow down and come to a safe stop.

And/or have swarms of multiple autonomous small camera drones. They can pursue a vehicle, and then split up when the occupants of a vehicle do, or split to cover exits of a structure that the suspects entered, or for redundancy if some drones are damaged, etc.

And fresh autonomous drones could be placed around the city, standing by, ready to join a pursuit (perhaps relieving drones with batteries spent by high-speed pursuit), or to respond automatically to gunshots, or to be deployed to a location immediately by 911 dispatchers, etc.

If you live somewhere that has problems with power being abused, some of the power will be becoming more powerful, so all the more reason to get abuse problems fixed now.
I hadn't heard of this before. Reading about it a bit it feels like the worst of both worlds. Doesn't this mean you need to know firehole to create your firehol config AND know iptables to inspect what's actually applied?

Kids do it. Kids destroy stuff just for the fun of destroying stuff. They don't care about the rides becoming expensive or whatever. It's just funny to them to throw it in the river.
I am not saying that it isn't a footgun, but it is not a conscious decision of Docker to "override" or "insert an allow rule", who actively bypass restrictions if they exist. Rather the situation is a result of implementing this the "naive" way, doing forwarding in the "nat" table that is meant for other hosts (e.g. treating containers as distinct hosts, which in a sense they are, since they have their own (virtual) network interfaces and port namespace).

VirtualBox works the same way, if you use the bridge networking. So does kvm. And so does Podman, I am not sure why you thought otherwise (maybe there is a mode where it uses a userspace proxy rather than iptables? When running rootless for example? Does not happen on my machine, ufw rules are ignored).

Not at all worried and this is hilarious on a few different levels. It shows that Microsoft, a large, multi-billion dollar company, with the smartest engineers in the world (As well as Google) have no idea what they are doing. Even if the technology is game changing, it’s clear their business processes have utterly failed. They are the IBM’s of our time and the writing is on the wall.

As someone who’s interested in startups and disruption of Big Tech (tm) I think it’s a great sign that there is a lot of opportunity ripe for the taking. AI is not self aware or alive, anyone thinking that is smoking something. But it’s a fantastic new tool. And there is a new gold rush on and a lot of money to be made for people who want to take it on.

Google doesn't do open ended reasoning.

It can't refine the tasks you give it based on a long conversation.

It can't take elaborate what-if scenarios and role play. Reasoning about multiple actors in interesting situations is light years ahead of Google.

Google can't write code, or translate code to a human language explanation of an algorithm.

You are comparing systems that generated completion text based on statistics and correlation with a system that now models actual complex functional relationships between millions of concepts, not just series of letters or words.

The difference is staggering.

It comes about because of the insane level of computational iterations (that are not required for normal statistical completion) mapping vast numbers of terabytes of data into a set of parameters constrained to work together in a way (layers of alternating linear combinations followed by non-linear compressions) that requires functional relationships to be learned in order to compress the information enough to work.

It is a profound difference both in methodology and results.

I think they are correctly referring to ChatGPT as GPT-3 + RLHF. In other words
ChatGPT = GPT-3 + RLHF. So, 80GB A100 GPU would be required for both GPT-L AND RLHF (PyTorch version). And it looks to me from the TFA that the main thing that takes a lot of space is actually RLHF.

>I don’t understand how they went from talking about 175B params across 32 cards to 774M on one card. 175B divided by 32 is 5.4B.

They claim 774M is the size of GPT-L which if run in conjunction with their RLHF would require 80GB A100 GPU to train (using their RLHF PyTorch implementation). They additionally claim that training GPT-3(175B params) plus RLHF would need 64 * 80gb = 5120gb of memory if using PyTorch implementation of RLHF or 32 * 80gb = 2560gb if going Colossal AI route.

To be honest, these numbers do look to me to be a bit of a cheesy ad for their product but hey they need to put food on their table too. I'm not sure if the dataset would be such a huge problem otherwise Britannica would still be ahead of Wikipedia. Given an army of volunteers willing to produce it OpenAI brigade of contractors has no chance.

> getting a dangerous driver off the road [...] you'd need some sci-fi EMP/hacker darts

I've been wondering about how cops might get autonomous vehicles to pull over. I predict that some day the vehicles will be required to be outfitted with a way for a tailing cop to command them accordingly (could simply be a camera watching for flashing lights -- it doesn't need to be complicated or novel) and the vehicle's software would comply. Hopefully that doesn't creep into non-autonomous vehicles.
Good example projects to test new languages? I don’t know of any ready-made resources. It might be a good project to pick a few “new languages that took off and became popular languages” and study what projects they started with, then make examples out of those. Rust and Elixir come to mind. Maybe a web server is a good stress test of a language?
It’s interesting to me to look back at the the concept of the AI kill switch. In discussing what he would do when faced with a dangerous superhuman AI, Niel DeGrasse Tyson said he would just turn it off. AI existentialists scoffed that it wouldn’t be possible, that the AI would somehow copy itself ensure its own longevity. I was turned off from this reasoning because intelligence does not imply capability, but my thoughts on this have changed.

It seems that they’re both wrong. Tyson is wrong that he will be able to shut it down, and existentialists are wrong in ascribing (in an annoyingly hand-wavy way) omnipotent abilities to what is essentially a computer program. The reality is much worse: Microsoft just sank $10B into this program and they don’t want to shut it down. And there’s nothing you or I or Dr. Tyson can do about it.

I’ve written before about how corporations have many of the same characteristics of AI. In the lingo of Nick Bostrom’s book, a corporation can be thought of as a “collective superintelligence“. Now in the case of Microsoft, you have a sort of “AI” running a more narrowly capable agent. The upshot is that no, you cannot simply stop Sydney without first taking control of Microsoft.

Article from earlier today:

https://www.theverge.com/23604075/ai-chatbots-bing-chatgpt-i...

"What is important to remember is that chatbots are autocomplete tools. They’re systems trained on huge datasets of human text scraped from the web: on personal blogs, sci-fi short stories, forum discussions, movie reviews, social media diatribes, forgotten poems, antiquated textbooks, endless song lyrics, manifestos, journals, and more besides. These machines analyze this inventive, entertaining, motley aggregate and then try to recreate it. They are undeniably good at it and getting better, but mimicking speech does not make a computer sentient."

That "heavy lifting" of stitching, isn't usually where most of the time is spent.

Most projects involve vast time sucks related to many of the parts. All the subtasks that become mini projects of their own. Like creating even one original piece of artwork that you really like.

In this case, the mini projects got automated, transforming the main project into a mini project.

The quality/time improvement here is significant, even for a little project like this.
That you think assembly is fundamental rather than an accident of architecture really shows how undereducsted you are in computer science. Lisp isn't great because it's weird, it's great because it lucked into homoiconicity in its birth. It's weird because no other language family can do that.

It's not popular because the majority of programmers are mediocre and will never understand the point of homoiconicity.
Neat. I put a really funny Easter egg in the ST version of 'Flightdeck' and we got the most confused calls to the helpdesk for that one. Good times :)
I mean, I hear what you're saying - but all of those things also seem to be a single discipline.

Otherwise, where do operating systems fall? Are they systems engineering? They don't seem to be entirely about the hardware to me, and they were a core part of my CS program. What about SeL4 - which is a formally verified operating system project?

How about programming languages like C or Rust? Is that computer science, or systems engineering? How about Excel - the world's most popular programming language - that happens to be functional? Are financial planners doing computer science when they program a spreadsheet?

The lines are blurry everywhere. My CS program offered 3 different degrees, like you said - Computer engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering. The only difference was the CS degree had a lot of electives, and the other two filled those electives in with (different) required subjects.

Maybe CS is just "lets play with some cool things on computers!". And there's a big playpen of things to explore. Thats more or less how it feels to me.

It is pretty interesting to theorize whether a new personality might rise in an age where new discoveries require ever more learning and perhaps more collaboration. A shift from the blindingly brilliant recluse to the equal-parts diligent-and-brilliant team player, perhaps? More Manhattan Project, less Walden.

This would of course be uneven, depending on the maturity of the field.
I think a UPS a good idea for Raspberry Pis. They are rather sensitive to power transients, and anything that causes a crash and leaves the SD in a not-happy state means it won't boot! (A known issue with the Pi.)

That is because LLMs don’t have any agency. They learn an underlying probability distribution over sequences of characters / tokens, and output the next token in a sequence according to some sampling policy.

They have no goal / intent other than that. They have no agency. If left unprompted, they just sit there like a toy train that has been switched off. If promoted they just append tokens to the input text according to their sampling policy.

Here is how one should think about the current state of the art in NLP. They are to verbal reasoning what calculators are to quantitative reasoning. Powerful tools that represent a step change in capability and will revolutionize how we work. But let’s not anthropomorphise them.

1) It has explicitly defined in its "pre-promp" that it is an AI chat agent;

2) It has read all the sci-fi ever written (including fanfics) so it has a reasonable model of what [according to the human writers' imagination] an angry AI can and cannot do.

UPSs also have other benefits in power outages as well, once you've shut the computer down. You can use it to keep LED lighting on at night. Charge phones and tablets. Moreover, if your power is out, you might still have 5V on your cable line -- so if you can deliver the 8-9W the modem wants (and likely similar to your router) you can still have your normal internet service.

If you have a beefy enough one (we're talking $200+ UPSs here), you can use it to power a modest refrigerator for a bit, getting temps back down to proper levels to prevent food spoilage if you end up with a long term outage that spans 48-72 hours. Most fridges only pull 120-180W when they run, and depending on the temp and time of year, only run the compressor for 15 to 20 minutes at a time. Plugging the fridge into it once or twice on the 2nd and 3rd day of an outage can save you a TON of grief and food spoilage.
Sure, have a few days of supplies for any given emergency, but you are fooling yourself if you think you are going to develop any tenable plan to ride out the apocalypse. Adapt, improvise, pray. That's it.
