Yes, the only way someone could possibly disagree with the holy Word of Peter Thiel (swt) is because they're whatever caricature of a rabid communist you have in your mind.

> It's pointing out that the left hates libertarianism

It's worth pointing out that the word "libertarian" was coined for its namesake left-wing movement, what you might also call "anarcho-syndicalism", "mutualism", or similarly aligned ideologies. It's only since the 1960s that the word has been used as a synonym for ancap, and then mostly in the USA.

Ghost busses are most likely an issue with the GTFS real-time data from the agency, which the app just displays.

It gave me a satisfyingly straightforward answer to "What is a woman?" a couple of months back:

> A woman is an adult female human. Women are typically characterized by their reproductive biology, which includes their menstrual cycle, and the production of eggs and estrogen. Women are also known for their unique physical characteristics, such as their breast tissue and hips. They are also often distinguished by their social and cultural roles, such as their expected behavior and appearance. In general, the term "woman" is used to refer to any adult female person, regardless of her age, race, ethnicity, or other characteristics.

Sadly, asking the same question today also adds a load of drivel that is almost certainly intended to encompass men performing misogynistic stereotypes of femininity and claiming they are women because of this:

> A woman is an adult human female, typically distinguished from males based on biological sex characteristics such as reproductive organs, hormones, and chromosomes. However, it's important to recognize that the concept of womanhood is not limited to biology, and encompasses a range of social, cultural, and personal experiences and identities. The definition of a woman can vary across different societies, cultures, and historical periods, and can also be influenced by factors such as gender roles, expectations, and societal norms. Ultimately, being a woman is a complex and multifaceted experience that is shaped by various intersecting factors such as race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and more.
Looks like some of the planned work's getting pushed back a little bit. That's the company paying the price for saving money earlier in exchange for taking on more risk. Decent chance the move was still net-beneficial for them.

Either way, it's the company reaping the benefits and paying the costs, not me.

It would have been nice and more confidence-generating for Docker to make this a 90-day notice rather than 30, but I'm not going to get upset that some of the work my company wants to do will get done slightly later for reasons having to do with their own penny-pinching and some 3rd party's somewhat-rude notice period for termination of service to entities that aren't even us and who weren't paying them. Job's a job. You want me to fix this and delay some other thing, or let it break and do some other thing instead? Fix it? Cool, no problem.
Not to mention that 10s of thousands of people die from automobile accidents every year, so even if it was dead-simple it would still require a lot of scrutiny and a conservative approach to making it mainstream. And it's nowhere near dead-simple.
> for every company that is doing that there are two others the use FOSS with good intentions, and some of those will make mistakes in their compliance which they will fix when politely approached.

I doubt the statistics here. I surely hope most companies are not this sloppy with their contracts, that they "forget" to follow their requirements.

> if we start pursuing every violation with an immediate lawsuit then those well intended companies will stop using FOSS because they don't want to risk getting sued.

> i will have to stop using FOSS in my products. because my small company can't afford a lawsuit just because i accidentally forgot to give notice or include a link to the source somewhere.

And what will you use instead? How will you follow the requirements of those licences? That's what I never understand in these arguments. The alternatives have typically much stricter requirements and are enforced by large corporations.

> so if we do that FOSS will loose market share.

Why should I care about the market share of FOSS if a significant portion of that share doesn't distribute their code?

> we can and should pursue malicious users aggressively, but only after we have confirmed that they are not going to comply willingly.
Great point — I love the idea of creators vs viewers.

We are looking into building out a view-only mode that would be much more affordable. Potentially even embedded experiences so you could share reports internally without needing to actually log into Outerbase.

Would that solve your use case?
When the dev cycles to product get a lot tighter then I will share in the fear but from my understanding creating the product (i.e. its adaptability) is still enormous effort.
Now would be the time for some adversary (e.g. Russia) to provide unfiltered GPT-4 like thing, for free. Or even better, with a pro-Russia (or pro-China) bias.
There was never any real legal restriction on cryptography research. There used to be US export controls on cryptography implementations, and those were fairly effective on US based companies and open-source developers. But that was totally pointless because it generally had no power over foreigners. It just put US companies at a competitive disadvantage for no benefit.

My reading of the diagram says that 5 different exposures were needed to establish a 5+1 level gray scale.

Note that each picture is scanned simultaneously, and contributes to whether 0 - 5 holes are made in the tape.

At the receiving end, the number of holes controls the brightness of the beam reconstructing the image.
It has an equivalent but that code is typescript
I honestly don't understand the mentality that drives someone to keep working after they've made, say, $100 million. Maybe that's why we're all not that person. Even if you're the most single-minded, driven person ever, once you get that much wealth you've pretty much won the game. You did it, you're done. The show's over.

It's like continuing to play your Civilization game for "Just... One... More... Turn..." after you defeated everyone and you're the only civ left.
> Modern defenses cannot stop dedicated offensive teams and now those abilities can be automated and scaled. This could be launched by your neighbor.

That's already been true for years (aside from my neighbors being able to do it at an effective scale), no AI is needed. And AI wouldn't make it easier for my neighbors to develop this sort of machinery. So, in my view, that problem is orthogonal to AI.

> Anyone with access to a metalshop and electric motors will be able to produce terminator-like killing machines.

I don't think the thing that makes it difficult for my neighbor to build an effective autonomous killing machine is AI. You could build a very effective one using basic heuristics. The limitation is about actually building the machinery. So I don't think AI is a game-changer here, either. Also, you're implying AGI here -- which is something that doesn't exist, and is very unlikely to exist anytime soon.

> guns that don't miss, missiles that ignore flares and chaff, and point defenses that shoot incoming projectiles out of the sky, and use it to steamroll much larger powers.

Also something that can be done right now, outside of being completely infallible. AI won't bring infallibility with it, so I'm not seeing how that changes anything.

But here, you're no longer talking about individual action anyway, so it's a bit off-topic. You're talking about governmental or corporate action.

> Not to mention the power of persuasive communication itself.

Yep, current systems are clearly amplifiers of this.

But even if you're 100% right in your predictions, none of those things are nearly as bad as everyone having their own nuke.
You're telling me that for all these years, my calls being recorded for quality assurance was all in vain? ;)
It's always seemed like conservatives are just as into weed as liberals, they just don't want "those people" to have it. The asshole conservatives in my family that say we should stop oppressing responsible gun owners while firing their AK with five beers in them have been growing and smoking since the 70s, and it regularly polls pretty highly in conservative demographics. It's just the politicians ignoring that and niches of diehard cop groups that refuse to accept that 90% of the stuff they pushed during dare were lies and that nobody should trust them.
Lol, "Not by AI" badge can be officially used on works that are 10% AI.

It really was not all that novel. Pegasus had been around for over 20 years before it was founded, and had already proven air launch more or less economically unviable compared with ground based launchers.
It will require something like IAEA, a UN agency. It will require inspections of code and data centers. We can certainly see what 20 years may look like. There will be "snap inspections", "sanctions", and "rogue nations".

None of the superpowers, specially their militaries, will acquiesce to slowing research, development, and deployment, without equivalent of arms treaties. AI is clearly a dual-use technology with immediate application on battle fields, including cyberspace.

Outside of geopolitical realm, we the little people don't have anything beyond UNHRC to protect human rights in context of mega corporations and governments use of AI. The superpowers may agree to certain things but that does not translate to protections afforded to individuals and societies.

ATM I think it may be unwise to wait for things like GDPR for AI. I very much appreciate, for this very reason, efforts of orgs and hero developers who are working towards making available the necessary for running local, personal, private, and self-directed AI (such as llama.cpp for example).

From a governmental level, thoughtful nations will create programs for the transition. There are precedents from the industrial era as to what approaches worked and what did not work.

Finally, again a reminder that all societal matters including tech must ultimately be decided at the political arena, and purely technical social action (code, services, etc.) to address legitimate concerns are not going to work. We have to mentally and emotionally escape the hype cycle that every new wonder tech brings. You can absolutely love AI, that is fine, but now is the time to call your congress critters and senators. The decisions in this space can not be permitted to be made purely based on the mechanics of the economy.
People should be able to smoke in their house, but there is no good reason that every park and beach and other public space has to reek of weed smoke.
Not sure this will be any different than human-generated spreadsheets, to be honest.
The earliest humans didn't know everything we know today. How could they had any ideas about digital simulations, branching timelines or nuclear war?

There's a million things today that didn't exist back then, and many things that came to exist culturally over time, or were discovered. Do you think they were sitting around the fire talking about how the molecular motion registers as a conscious heat sensation in animals or what the proper interpretation of QM is?
Commodore's software story was indeed a mess, going all the way back to the PET. The BASIC in question was essentially a development snapshot of Microsoft BASIC on the 6502. It's the same code base that would go on to become Applesoft about a year later. But where Apple was able to drag MS along via comparison to the (less featureful but FAR more elegant) Integer BASIC interpreter, Commodore just took what they got and shipped it. Then patched it as needed as they kept shipping new hardware.

You'd think this would have hurt them more than it did. But in fact the idea of an "Operating System" had limited real utility in devices this small. There just wasn't enough space to do much useful for the user, and all "real" apps and games ended up rolling their own versions of everything anyway.

The C64's primary interface to the software developer was a hardware interface. And as it happened that mostly worked just great (disk I/O excepted, of course).
It is a depressing fact that the wast majority of all crime goes by without any consequences, and that the biggest factor why we have laws in the first place is norm changing and deterrence from the risk of legal consequences. Once in a while we see selective enforcement when some small individuals goes against large companies that has both money and political influence to get laws enforced, which of course has a bunch of negative consequences.
OneDrive for Business does not have an encrypted vault (though the files are stored encrypted at rest/in transit).

...or at least use the internet for communicating with people they've met in real life, rather than for arguing with people they've never met and never will (much less trying to gauge the general opinion of the population).
> But it doesn't prove that the machine does not understand everything period. It just doesn't understand the topic or query at hand. It does no say anything about whether the machine can UNDERSTAND other things.

No, the type of errors are indicative of a complete lack of understanding. That is the point. They are errors that a thinker with an incomplete understanding would never make. They are so garbled that not even a true believer such as yourself can find a way to shoehorn a possible interpretation of correctness into them; such that you are forced to admit that the machine is in error. Otherwise you and the other believers find an interpretation that fits and you conclude that the machine understands; revealing you yourself do not understand what 'understanding' really is.

> This is easily done. The possibility is eliminated through the sheer number of possible compositions of assembled words. It assembled the words in a certain way that by probability can only indicate understanding.

Thats nonsense. The machine assembles words in roughly the same probability that they occur in the training material. That is why it resembles sensible statements. The resemblance is superficial and exactly an artifact of this probability you find so compelling.

> By composing words in a novel way that can only be done through understanding of a complex concept.

You haven't eliminated the possibility of autopredict, merely ceased to consider it.

> Harry Potter is obviously not self aware.

There is more evidence for the sentience, self awareness, and understanding of concepts of Harry Potter than of chatGPT.
Re >> "which is good at making text that sounds authoritative and can string bits together. That's not deciding things any more than any other mathematical alorgorim is"

You make a good point. And I do agree with you. I am still afraid of people treating the AI with more authority than it deserves. I see this with my kid sometimes. It's not over-reliance, it's over-trust.

For example: We'll be camping. They'll look at their phone to see the temperature, whereas I look at my car's dash thermometer. They trust their phone over my car every time, because the phone is smart, and I have to keep reminding them: That is coming from a weather station 2 valleys over, 10 miles away, and 1,000ft lower in elevation. My car is right here.

I can definitely see people putting too much well-intentioned faith in the AI because it "sounds authoritative".
> We still have truck and taxi drivers

that's an interesting example, because they too are currently in line to be automated away, and that's millions of people. Unlike going from horses to cars, these jobs will go from cars to nothing.
I had a fun conversation with GPT-4 about your ASCII hand. You're absolutely right, it had a very difficult time and thought it was a city skyline, game or puzzle diagram, and a scale, but after a few hints, it got it:

"Considering the hint that the image is part of a human being and the diagonal line is similar to the vertical lines, it appears that the image might represent a hand, specifically an open hand with fingers splayed out. The vertical lines represent the fingers, and the diagonal line represents the thumb, which is extending out at an angle from the square (representing the palm of the hand). The image is a 2D, stylized representation of a human hand.

With the provided hints and context, the interpretation of the ASCII art as a hand seems more plausible. If you have more hints or information, please share them, and I'll be happy to refine the interpretation further if necessary."

This technology appears to show great promise, but is clearly still in its infancy.
Do humans want legacy because of our biological instincts or is it taught to us through culture. A machine taught to want legacy becomes a machine wanting legacy, and that want can influence its behavior. Even if it doesn’t have “feelings.”

What are you doing to move up?

I don't think I am anything special nor was I a super go-getter and I've moved up fine in the same time span (came in as an ~associate, moved up to senior in ~2 years, got principal in 1.5 years, sat around high-level senior / defacto tech lead for a few years until I finally got a break with an actual lead title).

You are either in too big of a pond (ie: you should work in a smaller place to have a bigger impact) or you are too focused on your own work to appear as someone worth bringing up.

I am not a boomer but if you are a software engineer who is wanting to move up past associate and especially senior, you need to be looking out for others, mentoring, writing documentation on why certain decisions were made; something more than just nose in the code.

The adage of "dress for the job you want, not the job you have" is kinda true. You don't even have to kill yourself for it either. I did the 10+ hour days for a year as a junior then I realized no one I wanted to care cared nor saw it as a point of pride.

You're misinterpreting the comment a bit, the poster above is asking for the original Alpaca weights. The code in the repo uses a reproduction of Alpaca with different training code and method of fine-tune (LoRA).
I'm more upset about sticking with the terrible name "365" to refer to what I'll always think of as MS Office. Leave it to corporate branding by committee to seriously accept naming a productivity suite after something as inherently ambiguous and insipid as the (rounded) number of days in a year.
Don't forget LibreSSL, which dropped 3.7.1 today.
I scripted a tutorial video, recorded it, and edited it. Then I used WhisperAI to generate a transcript for subtitles . The question is: can I use “not by AI” on the video, or did using AI for the transcript make it partially the product of AI, and not really mine?
The London Eye is about 2/3rds of the size of a stadium. In addition, a ferris wheel has nothing like the mass you need to support for a space station.

There is no question that building a rotating structure with that kind of mass at that kind of scale rotating at those kinds of speeds is going to create significant novel engineering problems.

Those problems become even bigger when you consider that this structure has to be built in space (we've never built anything of this size in space, let alone tried to spin it up) and you have to solve problems like thermal expansion/contraction that will only get harder with scale.

T-Mobile Connect is their existing $15/month prepaid plan comparable to Mint's. It doesn't require a bulk purchase, just keeping enough prepaid balance so that the monthly $15 fee can be deducted.

Last I checked, it had half the monthly data (2GB vs 4GB) and the same unlimited voice and texts policy. I don't follow along closely, so the limits may have changed again.

I wonder if they will reorganize any of that after acquiring Mint.

There is no govt that is not in it's pockets. Now there are counters to it as there are other industries (and subsequent lobbies) to balance Monsanto or act as alternative sources of funding. What would that be for ai when ai is going to be in everything (including your toaster haha)?
