Sure, and instead of wasting billions every year busting low-level drug dealers our governments could be going after spousal abusers and date-rapists and setting up stings for sexual assaults in high-crime areas. You know, crimes with actual victims.

But preventing violence against women has always been among the lowest priorities for law enforcement. So naturally, sexual violence against men, which is far rarer, is even farther off the radar. But of course we gotta stop those pesky drugs users and small-time peddlers at any cost!
Overall I think the safety problems get worse when the program gets more complex. There's a big difference between getting a 100 line program right and getting a 20,000 line program right.

That said this is an underpowered study to really answer the question. It reminds me a little of that Scott Alexander blog post where he came to big conclusions based on 5 questions he asked ChatGPT. However there is a definite industry of people who write papers where they ask ChatGPT some questions and evaluate the replies.
Looks really good.

It's trivial to browse titles online if there's an interface for it.

In fact, I find browsing related titles on Amazon to be a tremendously quicker way to find related books than organzed by Dewey Decimal or similar at a library -- because collaborative recommendations, number of reviews, and actual review content are such strong signals that are totally absent in a library.
I have really mixed feelings about this. Not a fan of typical government jobs, but the FAQ reads so much more like a startup. Is it true? What does the compensation look like (broadly)?

ChatML: ChatGPT API expects a structured format, called Chat Markup Language
ChatML documents consists of a sequence of messages. Each message contains a header and contents. The current version (ChatML v0) can be represented with a JSON format.
Not the same thing, but I am reminded of Rez, Derez and the Resource Editor of ancient Mac daze.
Mostly because one of those concerns is a practical one with immediate impact in the real world and the other is a thought experiment with no bearing on reality because no sane individual would build a machine that only stopped trains if you typed racial slurs in.

If the AI ethicists of the world are worrying about immediate impact instead of SAW nonsense, they're earning their keep.
The article is short on details about the complaint, but if I had to guess it smells like a push for user identification. Yes, there is a childrens app but there is nothing stopping a child from using the normal site with or without an account.

How do you stop a child using the main site? By requiring proof of age/identification.
Google search was incredibly valuable immediately even if most links could have been rubbish. I can't say the same with the current LLMs

It is an incredible achievement that LLMs produce human-like output (e.g., wouldn't know if a gpt bot answers me unless we are discussing a topic where precision/accuracy are important)
but they hallucinate (they are confident BS-generators).

The hype is that LLMs can solve any problem and replace humans (jobs). It is not so.

It may depend on what you do but I find it is easier/faster to do the work myself then to spot and fix [a possibly subtle] error in AI output. Though some of the specific things will improve in time and you can find tasks where AI is useful even today.

I don't see how the models can improve for general tasks (AGI) without being existential threat to humans (not just jobs).
Shall we start having Apple certified power sockets now in case a dangerous socket misbehaves and fries your electronics?

I'm interested in purchasing some of your card decks, but the shipping will cost more than the cards (and I don't know if you combine if I purchase several different sets). Any chances of having a US distributor?

Just a couple of notes:

Pix is not an app but a platform (like INTERAC in Canada). It works with most banks and most people with bank account now have it.

Not only that, it is not just a QR app. You can send money to any key, that can be:

- An email

- CPF (unique SIN / SSN number that in Brazil is not considered secret)

- Telephone number

- Randomly generated key

The transactions are also, for the most part, instantaneous (think 1-2 seconds) and irreversible (as far as I know).

Even if you only have in your phone apps for banks without a Pix key, it is trivial and fast to create one. Unfortunately the only way out of this is to never have on your phone a bank app (and they can even force you to download one on the spot if you are actually kidnapped).

Also, from someone who was carjacked in the past in Brazil: this has always happened here. I think it is simply the delivery method that is changing. Unfortunately, ban those apps and the bad guys will just go back to randomly kidnapping / carjacking people on the streets of rich neighbourhoods like they did in the past.
Inorganic materials can't be dated using radiocarbon analysis and genetics don't account for civilization collapses.

After all, I'm in America with 0 percent of my genes attributed to Native American.
there is no distributed consensus. however we can reach consensus with an _arbitrarily high_ probability by adding additional machinery. until the point where is equally likely that the earth will simply fall into the sun one day.

so while this is a hugely important result, it doesn't stop us from building useful systems.
Well, yes, because then maybe I won't have to pay $250/hour to have my car fixed.
The cable situation is awful, and is largely what's keeping me resisting USB-C. The thing that made me love USB was that it eliminated a whole ton of error and guesswork that plagued the serial tech it replaced. USB-C brings a lot of that back, which drastically reduces the usefulness of it to me.

I know that eventually I'll have no choice but to go all USB-C, but for now, I can keep delaying that. By the time I do adopt it, perhaps they'll have figured out how to fix this issue and I'll be happy.
Create-tauri-app Version 3 Released
I just watched a video that convincingly showed that it is energy and energy alone that determines the production growth of humanity. Until the day AI can "generate" stuff (you know, something out of nothing) it can only at best streamline existing production, which is entirely capped by energy limits.

We may drown in oceans of audio, video, novels, poems, films, porn, blue prints, chemical formulas, etc. dreamed up by AI, but to realize these designs, blueprints, formulas, drugs, etc. ("production") we need to actually resource the materials, and have the necessary energy to make it happen.

It will not be AI that catapults humanity. It can definitely mutate human society (for +/-) but it will not (and can not) result in any utopian outcomes, alone. But something like cold fusion, if it actually becomes a practical matter, would result in productivity that would dwarf anything that came before (modulo material resource requirements).

It may not be entirely coincidental that a lot of financial carnage is happening just after the large scale printing of money (quantitative easing) stopped, interest rates started rising and borrowing money became no longer almost free (for the wealthy).

Arguably numerous “new” financial constructs only worked with free money. Meme stocks, crypto, SPACs and very large VC funding may have needed all that free money to “work”?

So maybe we’re just returning to more traditional financial investment patterns?

Some or all of those financial constructs probably still have their place on a much reduced scale in more specific contexts. But it’s no longer guaranteed free money.

I’m assuming that there are quite a few PhDs and other books in the works that will analyze those connections/dependencies in considerable detail.
The public libraries I know request a form of subscription to access digitized material, involving the use of public identity - linked to the accessed books. As opposed to "access the shelves, pick the item, read it in place".

But some will deny personal data treatment, particularly in terms of matching accessed material and identity. So, general use of electronic documents through libraries will be off-limit to an important class of people. (Those who regard private intellectual activity as near top in the list of rightfully strictly private matters by principle.)
Until then, "A Go Framework..." would be a more appropriate title?
Yeah, might be worried about open, crowd sourced approaches like Open Assistant (https://open-assistant.io/).
Used to be; meanwhile, DirectDraw/DirectInput/DirectSound/DirectPlay/etc have been dead for quite a while.
Channels are just threadsafe queues with language support and an N:M threading model.

Don't get me wrong; I agree it's easier to build performant applications in go, and to get the performance I want, I have to set my AWS boto3 S3 settings to have massive queues.

> 10,416 words per hour, 173 words per minute, every minute, 24/7.

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, it does not sound like that much when every query you make carries several hundred words of prompt, context and "memory". If the input you type is a couple words, but has 1k extra words automatically prepended, then the limits turn into 10 queries per hour, or one per 6 minutes.
Most of the good advice I would summarize as "do what athletes do to achieve higher performance, minus the stuff with known downsides." So, periodized training, quality sleep, managing gut health with a mix of probiotics and fasts, occasional tests to homeostasis to help your body recalibrate. But not the extreme diets, performance-enhancing pharma, heroic training sessions.

The way in which I've noticed most people get themselves in trouble when they didn't start from a position of impoverishment is simply because their response to problems is to, instead of noticing and addressing them, to normalize them and spend their energy making arguments to change nothing. Which is basically baby behavior: "no sleep, no food, no potty, wait why am I crying". Everyone does end up being in "poor health" someday, but it's often a case of how long you want to continue to struggle and preserve what you have, and some people seem to give up when they're, like, 17 years old.

This time last year the field was a few hundred people with their colab notebooks.
Some US franchised dealers will order a car for you, but you'll usually pay full MSRP with little room to negotiate. Porsche, for example, does a large fraction of their sales that way.

But custom ordering for many cheaper mainstream brands has become kind of pointless. The manufacturers no longer allow picking and choosing individual options and instead roll everything into a couple of large option packages. So, if you want the good sound system then you have to pay for the sunroof as well even if you don't want it.

Many US consumers expect to buy a vehicle off the lot and drive it away that day. Part of that is cultural. But many customers come in to buy because their old car was just wrecked or broken down, so they can't afford to wait months for a replacement.
First of all, this is what the Library of Congress is for. Sure it's not a bad idea to have one library with physical copies, or maybe even 2–3 or even 10, but we don't need thousands of them.

But second, no, physical libraries generally don't last for centuries and certainly almost never for millenia. They get sold off, torn down, they burn down, and so on.

On the other hand, you can keep an entire copy of Library Genesis on a home computer if you want. The sheer number of digital copies means none of this is going anywhere.

And if the grid goes down and society is collapsing, then a collection of a good proportion of the world's books on your hard drive powered by a generator or solar is going to be infinitely more valuable than some physical library you have to hike for days to get to with a chance that raiders will kill you on the way. ;)
> The idea that someone could be locked in or out of a car during a software update is deeply disturbing.

Definitely disagree. I read this blurb in the article, and honestly if I were the author I would have been embarrassed to put that in there. The app and the car give you tons of warnings that the car will be locked while an update is running. It also never starts updates automatically - it's a multi-step process you have to go through in either the app or car.

I posted above that I definitely had issues early on with some of the software, but the fact that the car locks during an update was not one of them, and I've never seen this complaint on the Lucid owners forum.
no, those are not the cops doing the music thing, at least from what i've seen. the ones playing the music are when people are acting all up in arms about something and go to the station. maybe there's others, but all of the ones i've seen it was obvious someone was just looking to make some content and not actually achieve anything with their interaction with the police.

Aboriginal Australian genomes reveal Indian ancestry (2013)
It's probably more accurate to say that toy systems can maintain the illusion of exactly-once for a while, but it doesn't scale. You can't keep a record of every message ever seen in a message based system. Message passing systems exist to handle rates of traffic that cannot be achieved by rolling your own event queue as a thin wrapper around other tools like databases. It's not just the storage, it's the throughput.

The first time I encountered RabbitMQ it could only handle 60 messages per second with delivery guarantees. We already had our own bespoke system that used a database to handle a couple multiples of that. So we ended up limping along with what we had.

Go give women that advice, see what happens.

Again, it's solid advice. But you'll get torn apart if you publicly give "be safe first, be right second" advice to women.
This is what 'extinguish' looks like from the new EEE strategy that I have said before, years ago [0] from Microsoft which competitors with paid offerings being unable to compete with free since OpenAI's pricing model is now close to free and their competitors cannot increase their prices.

Since Microsoft can foot the bill for the Azure infrastructure, there is going to be little area for anyone to seriously compete against OpenAI on price, API and features, unless it is completely free and open source, like Stability AI.

I'd love to answer this, but due to lack of marking I can only say "different". Multiple Apple cables, that's for sure, different variety too (as Apple has those thicker fast-charge cables). So as for "thicker", that's probably 3/4 of cables I have.

I have Thunderbolt 3 cable (verified), but it didn't work as well. I also checked multiple USB-C ports on MBP because I suspected it might be the problem of providing port. Not sure if Stream Deck has battery, as it can be used only through wired connection and it doesn't have any memoized features, yet I think you might be right with your guess. I found somewhere that I need USB 3.1 gen 2 cable, and that's what I ordered, but based on Amazon description I don't really trust it's going to work.

The whole issue is something that IMO should be dealt with by manufacturer. For ordinary customer this is a problem with a landfill solution.
and how does the automated system know when to remove and and when to leave it because it is a legit use of the audio?

this is something that should definitely be on the uploader's responsibility list of things to do.

Whether a statement is victim-blaming or not depends on the purpose behind it.

If the purpose behind it is to give helpful, relevant, useful advice for avoiding a bad situation, it's not victim blaming.

If the purpose behind it is to downplay and deflect and ignore the other causes of the bad situation, it is.

If someone isn't wearing a seatbelt, and dies in an auto accident, it's not victim blaming to remind people to wear seatbelts. It is victim blaming to use that reminder to divert attention away from the fact that the auto accident was caused by another drunk driver.
So, the same logic, in analogous domains, but once case good, the other case bad, because you prefer one.
