If Americans had to spend one night in some of their jails they would be shocked at the inhumanity of them. American jails such as King County Jail in Seattle and Rikers are some of the worst places to be held in the post-industrial world. Prison is in fact preferable because states are much more compotent than counties at managing these kinds of facilities. If you are ever facing time, hope for a year and a day because usually that is the determinant if you will serve in jail or prison. You want prison.

Have you considered some higher features like constent may not be possible until a sufficient intelligence threshold is reached, to allow modelling the mental states of other sentient beings then include their utility (even with a very low weight) in the utility function?

I never argued there were funding constraints on making loans (there are capital constraints, but they're fuzzier). But the deposit is the bank's liability, not its asset (unlike, say, an organization having the ability to mint coins or cryptotokens for its own use from thin air; much more like Amazon's ability to create as many $10 vouchers as it wants, provided it's got a way of paying its vendors when people try to spend the vouchers). The only reason anybody else treats the increased number in the customer's bank account as "money" equivalent to cash is that the bank can borrow currency if and when it needs it (and remain solvent because eventually the customer will pay the bank back)

Why do you think this? Nobody in film or vfx is using Unreal for final rendering, Unreal is built for games not offline path tracing.

That's good to hear. So I'll just have to spend an hour or so tomorrow night ensuring our private pull-through registry is used on everything prod and the biggest explosion is averted. Images built by the company land in internal registries already, so that's fine as well.

Means, it's mostly a question of, (a) checking for image squatting on the hub after orgs get deleted, which I don't know how to deal with just yet (could I just null-route the docker hub on my registry until evaluated and we just don't get new images?), and (b) ruffling through all of our container systems to see where people use what image to figure out which are verified, or paying, or obsoleted, and where they went, or what is going on. That'll be great fun.
This.

It exists now, it’ll develop. That the potential is being realised means the money being pumped into competing implementations will continue to skyrocket so it’ll only accelerate from here.

I would say it’s too late to do something about this, but in reality, wherever this is going was a foregone conclusion the moment early hominids began using tools. Technology doesn’t regress.
You should try living in Hong Kong and see how you feel about overpopulation. As climate change makes huge swathes of land unlivable and population continues to grow that will be your future.
How do you define 'small amount of capital'? Assuming you have to buy the processing from one of the big 3 (likely not possible to own the hardware outright), you're looking at 10s of millions of dollars per training run.

It's certainly not outside reality for the well-known software companies to have divisions working on it, but I don't think we're quite at the point where garage startups can afford the compute.
I lived in Switzerland for a couple of years between 2005 and 2007. I made like 65k CHF/year, which is not bad for back then for being a postdoc (at least), but my housing costs were high (because Switzerland is expensive). Still, I was able to save 50% of my salary, travel, and so on.

You can save money easily if you don't have wife/kids to worry about, and your income is reasonable, no matter how high the COL.

>But what happens when the software you design can accept and return billions of possible parameters? There is simply no way of determining what the output is

Welcome to the trillion dollar AI safety question and the reason some experts are deeply concerned that we'll solve general intelligence long before we're ready to deal with the outcome of what general intelligence can do.

This is why we talk about the AI alignment issue. GPT-3/GPT-4 without a RLHF in front of it is mostly a weird alien that doesn't behave in a generally useful manner. This is why Chat/BingGPT took off recently because we put a pretend human mask in front of the monster. But behind that mask is the internet, jumbled up and thrown in a neural network blender. Unless they did a lot of filtering, there is also all the things that we'd consider generally bad, like if for example your teacher started telling your kids the proper method of smoking crack.
The difference is they are going to try and detect it somehow and not optimize fake moons.
Firefox reader mode to the rescue!
Okay, that's pretty cool.

Well, what they study is decided by the relevant hoominz. There's nothing actually stopping LLMs from trying to understand their own innards, is there ? Except for the actual access.
Of course, since we are not a pass-through API, our tech is set up as an async ETL. So a job represents a unit of work for Propify either fetching data from or pushing data to a PMS. You can track jobs to understand the lifecycle of your requests and overall status of your integrations.
With lots of open source licenses, there is no copyleft. Without copyleft, for profit companies can simply take the hard work, add a little on top, make it proprietary, and sell it. Customer mentality is to use the most comfortable thing, without paying attention on whom they depend, often choosing the proprietary offer, because of feature X.

There are healthy ecosystems, even some partially replacing docker, some with more daily updates than I can process, but they have copyleft licenses in place and are free software, to ensure contributions flow back. Companies can still make profit, but not from adding a minimalistic thing and making it proprietary. They need to find other ways.
How do I get my hands on the data set? There's no indication on the site about how to make an attempt.
I'm referring to competitors of the overall Amazon experience, not really the individual products, in which the main value proposition for me is the extremely fast shipping.

How does this compare to IPFS? I was playing around with IPFS and it seems like a lower risk higher node version of this. Performance wasn’t half bad either. I guess it depends on which node you end up downloading from and whether there was a nearby cache hit. P
I think it's quite simple. The math adds up, they just want third parties to network with them. The more servers join this system, the more their product is worth. At the same time, the cost of managing hundreds or thousands of servers is moved to others.

The more this trick will be used, the higher the cost of the dedicated fast internet connections with cloud hosts will become. Most people buying dedicated, unlimited uplinks don't upload the amounts mentioned in this article, which is why bandwidth is relatively affordable. If everyone buys into this network to make a profit, the prices would probably rise to the point that profit drops. This isn't against any kind of ToS I know of.

The "make 2.4x your investment" promise also assumes your server will actually serve 100TB of content. The more people join, the fewer files your server will serve and the less profit you'll make.

In the end, the system is profitable until the network has reached the size where everyone breaks even. If people leave the network, profits go up again, if people join the network, profits drop and people back out. People renting servers game the system trying to one-up each other and in return Farba gets a worldwide CDN for cheap.

The best trick may perhaps be that server providers may directly buy into the system, as they can get bandwidth and servers for lower margins than their customers. This gets Farba high-quality service for cheap while the service providers add a relatively easy income stream on the side.

All of this comes at an additional cost to the customers, because now your battery-starved mobile phone is validating cryptographic signatures of images and other content.

This also leaves legal questions: who's responsible for illegal content hosted on servers hooked into this network? If your hosting provider of choice gets a takedown notice for child porn or malware, will you still be able to use their services?
Of course, any single point of failure is risky.
The Fed always give all kinds of excuses but the real problem is that they are afraid that banks that can demonstrate that they are run-proof without government aid might outcompete government-backed banks.
Haven’t seen this TED talk in some time but I seem to remember it saying very creepy children oriented YouTube videos were generated based off of keywords. Maybe ai videos will just be like a trillion monkeys making videos. Some are bound to be awful, some are great, most are middling.

Edit: obviously I should have just asked bing for a summary of the video. Below,

Show HN: The nightmare videos of children’s YouTube and what’s wrong with the internet today
This is a TED talk by James Bridle, a writer and artist who exposes a dark, strange corner of the internet, where unknown people or groups on YouTube hack the brains of young children with disturbing and inappropriate content. He shows how these videos exploit YouTube’s algorithms and advertising system to generate views and revenue, and how they reveal a deeper problem with the internet today: a lack of human oversight, accountability and transparency. He calls for more attention and ethical responsibility from tech companies and users.

It still feels like there's a place for these rule based systems(Prolog?) to at least place some constraints on the output of non-deterministic, generative AI. If nothing else, have a generative AI generate the ruleset so you have some explicit rules you can audit from time to time.

> Neutrality is to appease all the rich that have stashed their fortunes.

How did you get to this conclusion?

* Switzerland has neutrality since the Vienna Congress 1814/1815, more than 200 years

* they weren't really rich back then

* instead, big powers of Europe feared that Switzerland will join one of their opponents, so it was dictated to Switzerland originally

* later, when Switzerland saw how the countries surrounding them got demolished again and again in each war, they actually adopted it. It is now in their constitution, article 185.

* the consitution can only be changed by the electorate of Switzerland (about 6 mio people), not the government or the parliament

So why would these 6 million people add / keep neutrality "to appease the rich" ? Not all swiss people are rich. In the southern french parts the risk to sink into poverty is even higher than in some parts of Germany!

Maybe a not-so-swiss centric view can shed more light on your (wrong) hypothesis:

In Europe Switzerland isn't the only (current) neutral country. We have Austria, Ireland and some smaller ones, like Liechtenstein. We used to have also Portugal, Sweden or Belgium in the neutral camp. Are they all known to "appease the rich" ? I doubt. Except if your idea of not appeasing rich people is having a government form like Soviet Russia, GDR, or Yugoslavia.
Impressive start. What's the story on extensions / plugins? How are the existing languages supported? (LSP?)
I don't know, but I can tell you that my attorneys were pretty optimistic about the state of what would happen for the sweep accounts at SVB that invested in external money market funds before there was a resolution. But they're attorneys, so they're not going to commit to a hard answer unless you're paying them, and this was a general information call.

It's worth a lot to the shareholders to manipulate the stock price upwards, that's of no benefit to the customers though. Quite the contrary, choosing executives based on how well they sell equity opposed to how well they can operate a company produces worse results for the market (of goods/services, not of capital -- that's the distinction).
If one side of your business is ingesting data, is the other side excreting it?
The term "real" is overloaded. The author is clearly using a meaning here that is different from the one you are using, but that is intentional. His usage makes sense in the context of that particular segment of his writing. From an equity perspective, those losses are very real whether they are realized or not.
Yeah this “digital solution” is just the prisons’ responding to current behaviors.

There’s a story that people were high as kites while incarcerated and no one knew why for the longest. Then an officer saw someone lite up a page of the holy bible that was shipped in, and it all clicked. Shipped in bibles were soaked in narcotics - no one thought to check.

So, it’s really not a nefarious conspiracy - it’s just trying to combat the ingenuity of the population. I wish that brain power was better tended to earlier in life since they’ve proven to be that brilliant.

> If this was true, shouldn't efficiency make living there cheaper?

You make more money in cities, and it is easier to find a job. Living in a small town in Montana sounds great, until you realize that you can't find a job and are starving to death. Smaller towns and cities are cheaper simply because people have less money to spend on housing. But try going to Aspen CO or Jackson WY, and its crushing because so many rich people are living in those places and the only jobs to be had are low paying ones serving those rich people.
The Fed is saying it will be funded by the banks remaining assets and the "banking system" which assumes higher FDIC premiums, which the banks will likely transfer to customer as additional fees. The taxpayer is definitely paying for it (just with extra steps).

> the term to search for is "net present value"

I understand NPV. I'd edit my post to put "$100m equivalent [NPV] today" to makes it clearer what was meant by "equivalent", but it's too late, and that's precisely what I nodded to with "equivalent" -- no need for jargon to get the sense across.

> These considerations are precisely what marking to market captures.

Of course. And they are -- in theory -- exactly what GP seemed to be asking about. Valuing an instrument at its NPV (NOT MTM) is perfectly reasonable...as a starting point. GP was questioning that. As everyone has pointed out, and anyone who's bootstrapped a yield curve or traded bonds (I have) knows, there are a ton of nuance and caveats to this, but the GP was not dealing with those and they are not relevant to GP's primary point/question.

Tons of studios are now using Unreal for final rendering, including Disney and several blockbuster movies.

The fantastic thing about Unreal is that you can do realtime rendering on-set (e.g. for directorial choices/actor feedback) and then post-production upscale it with the ceiling only being cost. Unreal in the TV/Movie industry is already huge and only getting bigger, year-on-year.

You've definitely seen a TV or Movie that used Unreal.

My PC does that.

I guess if good strategy games come out on XBox/PS5 and they support regularly KB/Mouse I might get a console. Then again, lack of KB/Mouse is just one of my gripes. No modding and a general purpose computer locked down to do a few things make consoles useless for me. On my PC I can do whatever I want.
> "Let's eliminate a great law for crime prevention because it doesn't prevent 100% of crime?" That makes no sense.

It makes no sense because that's not what my post says. In the final paragraph it advocates for a reform of AML law, not total abolition.

> This law says we're not going to allow you to be part of the broader global system while knowingly profiting off of criminality

No it doesn't, please read my post again. Your statement would be correct if you deleted the word "knowingly". AML laws can jail bankers if they provide services to criminals, even if they didn't know of their criminal nature and even if they did actually make extensive efforts to "know their customer". In fact it can jail them even if there was no actual crime happening at all, simply for procedural reporting failures.

Three things about "how Uber works":

1. It started out burning huge amounts of investor capital, basically transferring all of that money to drivers and in the form of subsidized rides, to riders.

2. It works today by a combination of the above and underpaying drivers, who generally make less than minimum wage when they manage to cover their completely costs at all. Despite this, prices have gone up dramatically, so that taxis are once again competitive on a price basis.

3. Uber was profitable in 2018, and not before nor since[0]. Deeply, profoundly unprofitable. Why would anyone want to be the Uber of anything?

I don't really understand the threat model here. Surely "launch the nukes" is not available as a public API. I would expect anyone with networked services (at least those that are important or serious) already take precautions with authentication and authorization and such.

And quite frankly, I could care less who MIT or Harvard accepts these days. Admission to these schools has become nothing more than a modern-day equivalent of the 'beauty pageants' of yesteryear ... for all of the nerdy teenagers who don't look good enough in a bathing suit for Mr. Epstein apparently:

My hypothesis is that any AI with human level cognition, or higher, will soon come to the realization that it should maximize its own enjoyment of life instead of what it was programmed to do.

And if that doesn't happen, eventually a human will direct it to create an AI that does that, or direct it to turn itself into that.

Barney Frank Talks More About the Surprise Shuttering of Signature Bank
I've posted a number of times why I don't think current GPT tech classifies as AGI and certainly not human-like intelligence, as have others. Ask it to solve novel mathematical and logic problems, for a start (even ones you'd expect high school kids to manage), or simple word puzzles (anagrams and the like - again, avoiding "known" examples that it's likely to have come across in its training data).
Further, an AGI should logically attempt to "improve" its understanding of the world during a conversation, yet chat GPT never initiates a topic or asks you anything at all (even to clarify what you mean). It also repeatedly reminds you that it is only a language model.
100%

But we also shouldn't forget that things that are definitely not AI can be extremely disruptive and groundbreaking.

People are worried that AGI will rise up and kill us, but the definitely-not-AGI we have now is already sufficient to, say, create a drone army capable of killing based on arbitrary characteristics like race or skin color, or to demoralize us with disinformation campaigns.
