Tracking the difference would be annoying and pointless. Why do that when you can wrap it around everything and go home early?
Well it's not good for me and I'm merely a typical product of this system. The system will make plenty more of me. I was totally alone a few years ago, now I look like a moderate. Unfortunately, future contrarians may not be as curious, tolerant and understanding as me so they will probably end up blaming capitalism as a whole and demand communism... China will swoop in and 'liberate' the people. When this happen, I will be shrugging my shoulders in complete apathy due to moral exhaustion.

If intelligent people cannot separate the monetary system from capitalism, the average person won't either.
>We present our 1B-parameter GigaGAN, achieving lower FID than Stable Diffusion v1.5, DALL·E 2, and Parti-750M. It generates 512px outputs at 0.13s, orders of magnitude faster than diffusion and autoregressive models, and inherits the disentangled, continuous, and controllable latent space of GANs.

Nice to see GANs making a resurgence, as they are much faster and more controllable. Hands seem to still be messed up though. Are hands just a dataset issue or is there something really hard about it? My first thought is that faces would seem to be more difficult and that has already been mostly solved.

It can not guarantee a unique solution, though. Which in terms of logic puzzles is considered bad. In this particular game, you can choose any of the four 3s and the correspondent 3 and the game will end successfully.

Another problem is of course the not evenly levels of difficulties with the same block size.

It is a valid point. I am not an authority on linguistics and Chomsky absolutely is ( to the best of my knowledge his theories and contributions to linguistics were not disproved ). However, and this is part my original argument: he is not arguing linguistics. He is arguing intelligence. No. More than that. He is actually arguing an unintelligence, which is a new abstract concept and one that is not a colloquially used.

I may be wrong, but if that is the case, and we are still arguing with appeal to authority, shouldn't he defer to experts in that field? Shouldn't AI experts opinion be valued more than his observation?

Note, I am merely raising a possibility that he is wrong about this particular idea.

More to the point, do you think his understanding of syntax really means he understands the underpinnings of AI; the same AI that merely tries to emulate human language capability?

This is incorrect, as we learned from Silvergate. Customers pulled their deposits for reasons unrelated to the bank (in Silvergate’s case, the customers of the crypto exchanges wanted all their money back, so the crypto exchanges had to withdraw their deposits from Silvergate).

As Levine put it, it’s not an asset problem, it’s a liability problem.
This is incorrect. While some sound effects in the Sonic games on the MD/Genesis do use the PSG, the ring sound is not one of them. I double checked just now using the oscilloscope view in my emulator. Looks like the ring sound effect alternates between channels 3 and 4 depending on which way it's panned (unclear why it's done that way since any FM channel can be panned left or right).
Most pirates are not subscribed in the first place. They just download something someone else had removed DRM from, which also makes it a superior experience. It only takes one pirate with a decent computer to encode a good DRM-free copy for it to be shared via BitTorrent. It is pointless to deter casual piracy when one "professional" pirate is enough to free the content.
Or just use a Too Big To Fail bank. The government will never allow JPM/WF/BofA to go under, that'd wreck the economy.

Seems like there's a huge long tail of potential applications like this where VR / AR can be used to create training environments for all sorts of risky and / or expensive situations. It seems to me the killer app is the one that allows organisations to put these together themselves. I have experimented with this using Figmin XR [0] and it's very close to viable, with its realistic physics engine. You can place people in their actual work environment and then just add objects for them to interact with as part of their training.

Ya what a silly post
This post stinks.
I appreciate you expanding your thoughts. You are certainly free to feel how you feel, but I want to offer you one different angle:

For the sake of my career, I have moved a lot, six times as an adult. The first time I moved, I was able to buy a house in a cheap city. When I needed to move again it was a nightmare, the market was down, and it was very difficult for me to get that financial obligation off my back. Subsequently I have rented. I am very grateful that there are landlords who have housing units available for people who have reasons not to buy, and I have the opportunity to live in a place temporarily.

This is a complicated topic, and I fully acknowledge that there are bad landlords out there. But I do believe there is such a thing as a good landlord, providing a valuable service. I also believe that if we had a much more abundant housing supply, it would be much harder to make any money without being a very good landlord, and that would drive prices down, as well as driving the grifters out.

Just food for thought.
Does your Android phone do any of that? Mine doesn't.
I helped someone that had to use taichi code written by a PhD student and it was a bit weird. It looks a lot like python but you have to code like you would in cuda (e.g control flow), there is no magic.

For this we had to calculate forces to animate some kind of polygon with a lot of joints and we could not just call sycipy from the taichi code. I had to implement a very dirty polynomial equation solver in taichi for the demo
Choosing to accept a leading role in a movie that many people were excited about because they thought Brando would be in it does not mean she was never uncomfortable with his romantic interest in her. The fact that she told him she got involved with someone else may have been polite code for "You can stop holding out hope we will get together. It's not going to happen, which I have been trying to politely signal since the very first time you chatted me up and I didn't bother to so much as look at you."

If a woman is too picky about completely avoiding men who are interested in her where her answer is definitely no to their romantic interest, it can make it impossible to pursue a career at all and doing so may not even protect her from having to put up with his unwanted attentions.

#NotAllMen, obviously, but it's an excessively common issue for some women.
This. Entire companies exist to help try and solve this problem for businesses.
Some of these large models are able to do zero shot learning and perform tasks they weren't explicitly trained on since the training objective is very general.

Being able to perform more advanced types of zero shot learning tasks would be comparable and further the accuracy on those tasks can be evaluated
Out of curiosity, I rewrote their prime counter example to use a sieve instead of being a silly maximally-computation-dense example.

To make it work with taichi, I had to change the declaration of the sieve from sieve = [0] * N to sieve = ti.field(ti.i8, shape=N) but the rest of the code remained the same.

Ordinary Python:

time elapsed: 0.444s

Taichi ignoring compile time, I believe:

time elapsed: 0.119s

A slightly more realistic example than the 10x+ improvement they show on the really toy example with results that aren't too bad. I'd take a 3x improvement for tiny changes. Pretty neat!

(I tried some other trivial things like using np.int8 and it was slower. One can obviously make this a ton faster but I was interested in seeing how the toy was if we just made it slightly more memory-bound).

A negative was that throwing list comprehensions in made the python version faster - about 0.3 seconds - (and shorter and arguably more "pythonic") and simultaneously broke the port to taichi.
They have their own index[1]. It's not easy, when a bunch of sites block anyone who isn't Google or Bing. But this is the same strategy Brave seems to be pursuing, where they try to rely more and more on their own indices.

There's no more text to train on.

Also, amazingly, transfer learning works better than anyone could have hoped! As an analogy, imagine that you could show that football players learned musical instruments 50% quicker than non-athletes. That would be amazing!

But LLMs can write music and training them on music makes them better writers. It's almost like intelligence & skills are completely general!

If you're not lazy, you're stupid...

Yes, it's an inflammatory statement, but I assume you don't grow your own crops and sew your own clothes and therefore have farmed off all the physical labor required to keep you alive.

And that's only talking about physical work, the mental energy ratio is far higher. Your brain is around 2% of your bodies mass but is using around 20% of your energy output. Your brain sets up powerful filters to get rid of much information as possible. We focus ourselves on interests and close out the world around us. Just about everything you do, you can only explain in a post ad hoc method, you've simply incorporated these behaviors in to your life and likely have little to no awareness as to why you've done so.

Let the machines toil away, and let the humans be hedonistic.
> Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

This is what I meant by "a bridge." I don't think you really understand the point of my comment.

> unless you have a mysterious power making you able to compel mankind to change their lifestyle

I know you are being facetious but I ironically, yes there is a mysterious power that compels mankind to change their lifestyle. That's how we got here; it's not like the enclosure and industrialization was a grassroots effort or an accidental happenstance. Its called the industrial revolution for a reason. The truth is it was directed by a privileged minority with a lot of power. It was not done democratically. It certainly wasn't privileged consumers saying, "hey I want to give up generational farming of inherited land to live in an urban slum and work in textile mill". Their hands were forced by policy and in some cases violence. Societies are reticent and often reactionary. When that reluctance endangers the progress of the governing interests (capital here for all intents and purposes) suddenly "mysterious power"s become less fun to talk about.

But hey you don't have to listen to me; it also doesn't matter what we think anyways because like I'm saying its not like there is much personal choice in this shift -- unless youre in the really upper echelons, I guess then you can do whatever you want.

You're right. They just had to nationalize the market last year. The brownouts were the year before that.
Always knew startups were a scam. This just proves it. I can't believe these tech companies got away with it for so long before the whole house of cards came down.
I'm curious how you get this to work:

"Stops URL shorteners. Checks the links you click in Safari for well-known link shorteners — bit.ly, tinyurl.com, t.co (used by Twitter), etc. — and loads the unshortened destination URL instead of the shortened URL. This occurs without setting any cookies or other site data, so you can't be tracked by your click."

How can you determine the destination without revealing any tracking info to the link shortening service? Unless you make the request from your backend, wouldn't the user's IP address be revealed to the shortening service, allowing it (or data brokers) to join it with other data about them?

I asked it to tell me 10 things about tech sector news today and it gave me a bunch of old news shown below:

Today, Apple announced its new line of MacBook Pro laptops featuring the company's new M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, which promise significant performance improvements.

Google unveiled a new set of privacy-focused features for its Chrome web browser, including a "Privacy Dashboard" that provides users with more control over their online data.

Facebook is launching a new feature called "Bulletin," which will allow writers and journalists to create and distribute their own newsletters.

Tesla announced that it has acquired a robotics company called "Grohmann Engineering," which will help the electric car maker further automate its production lines.

Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire MGM Studios, a move that would give the e-commerce giant access to a vast library of movies and TV shows for its Prime Video streaming service.

IBM has announced plans to spin off its managed infrastructure services unit into a separate public company, as the tech giant shifts its focus to higher-growth areas like cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

Microsoft is launching a new set of tools called "Project Reunion" that will help developers create apps that work across different versions of Windows.

Twitter has announced that it is testing a new feature called "Super Follows," which will allow users to charge their followers for access to exclusive content.

Qualcomm has unveiled a new 5G modem called the Snapdragon X65, which promises faster download speeds and improved network coverage.

Uber has announced that it is acquiring alcohol delivery service Drizly for $1.1 billion, as the ride-hailing giant looks to expand its delivery offerings beyond food and groceries.
Chapo Trap House is running an excellent multi-part series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U9lEyXTOqo) on the 30 Years War, and coincidentally just ran their first episode on "what was going on in England during all this" (exactly what this book covers) just last week. Regardless of what you think of their politics (dirtbag communists, more or less), it's great listening.

The context of the 30 Years War is wild: an information revolution (thanks Gutenberg), a crisis of epistemology (i.e. a breakdown of the consensus of what is truth, thanks Martin Luther), and even climate change (thanks volcanic activity, sunspots, and a sudden carbon sink in the Americas).

so anyway, I'll definitely be checking this one out

Piracy has become slightly more difficult, mostly because of the difficulty finding good torrent sites.

I've set up Prowlarr with the recommended torrent sites and have found two torrents (h264 with 4 seeds and h265 with 9 seeds at 1080p, or h264 with 3 seeds at 480p) for your query; it took me no more than five seconds. A torrent client isn't enough these days, unless you like wasting your time on Google, but there are technical solutions for that!

Combine this with Sonarr and you can simply add "the climb". It'll download all the episodes for you, and optionally start downloading new ones once the next season comes out.

I can't find where I would watch this show legally. The local copyright lobby has set up a nice website where you can look up legal sources for TV shows, but it doesn't even list the show, let alone show the normal "not available right now" message. With legal-ish access to Amazon, Disney+, HBO, and Netflix through my accounts or those of friends, I'd expect to find it somewhere but I'm not going to bother manually searching through all that.

There's an opportunity for media companies to take Sonarr and make a version that just redirects you to the services you're already subscribed to. They'll have to find some data source for situations like "season 1 is on Netflix, season 2-4 are on Amazon, season 3-5 are on Disney and the specials are on Paramount+" but the industry have done that to itself so it may as well fix it.

Piracy is still often the easy way out for me now that I have the *darr collection set up. There was a short time where practically every streaming show was on Netflix and piracy was the stupid, difficult way to watch shows, and I actually kind of liked it. Then the industry had to fuck it up for itself by splitting off in a million different subscription services.

Hell, nontechnical people still resort to piracy despite their inability to use torrents. For many, 123-super-movie.entertainmenttonite365.biz or whatever you call it is good enough. These websites, seemingly designed as a benchmark for adblockers, are hard to find or navigate but are still considered better alternatives than the restrictive, annoying, often expensive streaming services.

My theory is that that's for one simple reason: you can find a link on Google and just start watching. No need to open seven different apps and do the search over and over again, waiting several seconds for animations and sign-ins.

Some people may do it purely because they don't have the money to spend 20 dollars on watching two episodes of a show, but the same was once true of music and Spotify mostly fixed the music streaming market for consumers, and youtube caters to the rest. Even the people using weird streaming sites don't download mp3s anymore!
