Anyone know the status of these Google AR glasses?

The form factor of Google's AR glasses look much much closer to a normal pair of glasses than the glasses in the top video (which look like heavy sunglasses with a wire connecting to your phone)

You posted a CNET link, here's a direct link to Google's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj0bFX9HXeE

In the description it says: "This device has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be, offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased, until authorization is obtained."

So I guess they might be waiting for that?
It doesn't seem to be answered in the article, but if it was and you read it should you have to pay them a fee for the knowledge if it was published openly on the net?
No. Fingerspelled words are not written English, but literally spelled out English words.

For example, it would be like me saying, "'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'" instead of whatever translated 'hello' in ASL.
It's always CNBC trying to sell some fraud or scam or bullshit opinion. The single worst financial news group I think I've ever seen. Every second article of theirs is about how some trust fund kid utilized their nepotism to make $400k this year "And you can too" or such bullshit.

What other banks have half their deposits in 10 year lockup with zero hedging and an extremely undiverse group of depositors that will all act in lockstep?
Nope. https://www.signingsavvy.com/article/45/The+difference+betwe...

Here's a fun example. ASL allows, maybe even requires, negation after the statement. An interpreter friend of mine was interpreting Wayne's World in a mixed crowd. The whole "<statement>... NOT!" joke gets laughs from the hearing audience and the Deaf audience doesn't understand why.

I'm also noticing a lot of comments that boil down to "but it's not smarter than the smartest human". What about the bottom 80% of society, in terms of intelligence or knowledge?
Great article, particularly agree with the tests part. Sanity check tests (function doesn't throw an exception in common path) are essential but following all possible paths and verifying all outputs is the road to diminishing returns and subpar output.
Ray Kurzweil predicted in 1999 that all of this would happen roughly now-ish, with 2029 being when something passes a hard version of the Turing test.

He was an uninformed crackpot with a poor understanding of statistics. And then less so. And then less so.

Something passing the Turing test 6 months to 6 years from now? Lunacy.

But give it 6 months and talk to GPT5 or 6 and then this might seem a lot more reasonable.
Strange Days not The Matrix is the prescient fictional warning.

A black market of taboo “memories” aka experiences. A desire for authentic ones over synthetic diffused ones, leading to heinous crime.
There's one rather extreme difference. Humanity went from a domain where there was literally no such thing as painting, to the Mona Lisa. Once there is an extremely large and well established body of course one can create,in literally any field, solely by mimicry, but "intelligence" is what enables us to go from nothing to something. And that remains completely absent in any any sort of "AI" of today.
Hey, Vykintas from NordVPN here. By going open source we are trying to be more open. NordVPN customers aren't used as botnets to resell traffic and you can easily check it using Wireshark as well as look through the code. As you can see majority of it is open source. If you have any questions - shoot them and I can try and answer them. Otherwise - please don't spread information without proper investigation.
I for one would be happy to have a personal bureaucrat which would do the right things needed for all government interactions. Remind me, explain to me and fill out forms for me.

In theory a lot of government employees would be out of a job within 10 years, but of course that would never happen.
Just starting my second paid year - I didn't put up with the adverts for long.

Works far better for me without the hearts. Less time staring at sentences trying to make them perfect - more quick failing, learning why, iterating and drilling it into my head.

Also much more likely to spend longer in the app, maybe a couple of times a week.
With Plus it initially loads "ChatGPT Feb 13 Version" at the bottom then hides it once the page loads.
I see both of your points and I get how compelling the second one is, but what can I tell you? It was definitely already in progress and it has to do with long-term leadership changes inside the organization and thinking about what YC is really supposed to be. Keep in mind that Garry's previous years at YC were before the late-stage business got started. Why they made the announcement yesterday, I have no idea—perhaps someone enjoys Hacker News drama!

FWIW I don't think the difference is spin, I think it's the opposite—from my perspective (I'm not privy to the inside discussions) this change is not a reaction to short-term business climate, it's a vision thing. Most people underestimate the power of having just one thing to focus on and knowing exactly what it is. It's a cliché everyone pays lip service to but almost no one actually does. It was a huge insight for me that running HN is all about focusing on one thing*—it's a kind of superpower that turns a surprising number of hard calls into easy calls.

I used to work in an old office building with a long wait and where the 'close' button did not seem to do anything, but pushing and releasing the 'open' button would cause the doors to open to their full extent and then immediately begin closing, regardless of how long the doors had been open. Thus, it functioned as a 'close' button.

I did not see it being abused, but I don't know if many people had found out about it. I did not use it unless the lobby was empty of people heading for the elevators.
Fear of liability is not going to stop these things being used...any more than sport regulations prevented athletes from taking steroids.
With the current progress, human learning seems to be obsolete soon, so there's little point in optimizing an AI for teaching. Unless you mean only as a hobby to pass the time.

> AIs may be tutoring and raising other baby AIs, preparing them to join the community.

Probably I'm not futurist enough, but I'm always amazed at how chill everyone is with supplanting humanity with AIs. Because there doesn't seem to be a place for humans in the future, except maybe in zoos for the AI.

Does the library side of this provide an emulated socket API? The CheerJ docs [1] say:

My understanding is the API they want notifies when data is ready, then you make a buffer and fill it immediately. In that situation a significantly smaller set of errors is possible and you don't have to figure out disposal of a pinned and possibly-in-use buffer if you decide to cancel.

What is there besides the technical sense?

My understanding is that "material" is a technical term in accounting. A "material" effect is one that will have a noticable impact on the business.

Example: $100 missing from a single petty cash account would have almost no impact on a multi-site business and wouldn't be reported as "material" losses. $100 missing from every petty cash account would be different and probably would be reported as a "material" deficiency because it means there is an issue with controls.

disclaimer: My experience with accounting is a single accounting class and having run a budget for a business with $60k monthly for a few months before I left.
I look at this as the calculator for writing. There are all sorts of bemoaning the stupidifying effects of calculator and how we should John Henry our math. Maybe allowing people to shape the writing by providing the ideas equalizes the skill of writing?

I’m very good at math. But I am very bad at arithmetic. This made me classified as bad at math my entire life until I managed to make my way into calculus once calculators were generally allowed. Then I was a top honors math student, and used my math skills to become a Wall Street quant. I wish I hadn’t had to suffer as much as I did, and I wonder what I would have been had I had a calculator in hand.

I'm not convinced Russia doesn't want escalation. The leadership seems suicidally insane - like an old guy who starts a bar fight because he wants to prove he's still one of the Big Dogs, even though he hasn't been sober for decades and can barely stand.

It's plain old post-imperial narcissism, Which is not an emotional state known for its rationality and foresight.
I m sorry but in stating the goal posts haven't moved, you've literally just moved the goal posts.

'everything a human can do' is not the same as 'anything any human can do as well as the best humans at that thing (because those are the ones we pay)' - most humans cannot do any of the things you state you are waiting for an AI to do to be 'general'.

Therefore, the first part of your statement is the initial goal post and the second part of your statement implies a very different goal post. The new goal post you propose would imply that most humans are not generally intelligent - which you could argue... but would definitely be a new goal post.
Most humans wouldn’t meet that bar. Most humans can’t even pass these tests after studying near-continuously since birth.

Does anyone know how up to date is the training data?
Maybe... Hear me out... It shouldn't be trivial for someone to snap their fingers and axe somebody without at the same time making preparations and getting work said person was doing handled by domeone else.

Maybe, by virtue of being a large organization, there is a certain amount of signalling overhead that you end up paying for in return for the ability to operate at that scale.

Mayhaps, slogging through the chain, top down is actually a feature, not a bug; ensuring that senior management know exactly what they are laying off.

But nahhhhhhh... Can't be. That'd make too much sense.
China is already experimenting with social credit. This does create a unified and measurable goal against which people can be optimized. And yes, that is terrifying.

Is Whisper really up to this? When I've used it, it's...fine. But it also randomly dreams up weird transcriptions that have nothing to do with what's actually being said, and with perfect audio too. Like the audio will be a presentation at a tech conference, and Whisper will predict "check out our site at randomlink.com", when no one said anything close to that.

I'd be pretty concerned if my doctor relied on this to be honest.

> What brand? Yes, they developed and popularized the container workflow,

The name of their company is synonymous with container technology, because they made a nice UI. I think it's fair to say they have a brand.

> but what does Docker the company have to offer me? Container registry? I can get that at a number of providers who will do their best to offer an API compatible service.

That's exactly how they're killing their brand. Maybe it would be better to say they are failing to keep their brand relevant.

The description reads like made up propaganda. And it's funny how quickly I got downvoted for mentioning that eucom.mil might not be the most trustworthy of sites. It's almost like there is a one-sided propaganda war waged all over social media.
You could create an insurance company, do your own analysis, and correct for bad ratings by offering insurance to those you think are more solid than their ratings suggest and refuse it from those who you think are rated too highly. (My Dad is about to retire from a company that does this)
I've been impressed with Bing Chat, surprisingly so given how much negative talk there is about it.

For quick and simple fact checks, for which I would normally reflexively hit Google, it's a huge improvement. No need to be exposed to clickbait, scams, or excessively ad-heavy results.

Right now it requires you to use either the Edge browser (I don't want to switch), or the Bing app, which I reluctantly do. If they ever make it available to other browsers I can see my Google usage falling dramatically.
As far as I understand it, the parent commenter believes that your job will shortly be obsolete. First because the AI teacher will teach humans better than the human teacher and second because AI will make learning obsolete because we can all be illiterate idiots once AI can do all the thinking for us (if I paraphrase the "human testing/learning is no longer relevant" part).

I'm surprised you find this inspiring. I personally will stick with shuddering.

The Fed wants to push unemployment. To save the economy previously they injected tons of money and need Billionaires and big businesses (because the injection process is not directed to your average mom and pop) to use that money. Now that they need to reduce money, they take away jobs for the working class. Nice system. Free government money to some and government pushing for you to lose your job for others, the two levers the Fed loves.
> People still really find it hard to internalize exponential improvement.

I think people find it harder to not extrapolate initial exponential improvement, as evidenced by your comment.

This reasoning explains why every year, full self driving automobiles will be here "next year".
It's ironic that you cite GRDecter's Twitter feed for exposing anything as a clown show
> What are the implications for society when general thinking, reading, and writing becomes like Chess?

Consider the society where 90% of population does not need to produce anything. AIs will do that.

What would be the name of economical/societal organization then?

Answer is Communism, exactly by Marx.

Those 90% percent need to be welfare'd ("From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"). Other alternative is grim for those 90%.

So either Communism or nothing for the human race.
Go take a look at the content of Civitai. Take everything you see there, and imagine what happens if you start prompting it with words that indicate things which may not be legal for you to see images of.

Offensive language is relatively benign. Before hooking up CustomerServiceGPT directly at customers without human intervention, a business is going to want assurances it can't be tricked into giving 200% discounts on products, or duped into giving away a free service for life, or some such.

> An AGI is an AI that can do everything a human can do, period

GI in AGI stands for general intelligence. If what you said is your benchmark for general intelligence then humans who cannot perform all these tasks to the standard of being hirable are not generally intelligent.

What you're asking for would already be bordering on ASI, artificial superintelligence.
I'm not sure I'd interpret this as incompetence. It seems to me like a successful attempt to bring down a drone "by accident" with enough plausible deniability, because shooting it would be too overtly an act of war.
I hire 10+ Python developers per year. You're wrong.

If you yourself are a bad engineer or terrible at hiring, you might mistake the chaff for the wheat, but then you're doomed anyway.

The same thing happened with JS when that was peaky, and it'll happen in other languages too.

Even during initial Putin's reign there was a period of relative non-interference in each other's spheres. If, and I am assuming a little bit here, you are suggesting that regular spy-vs-spy constitutes a proxy war, then we have always been at war.. with everyone.

Maybe the right question becomes: how would you define a proxy war then? I think our disagreement lies in a definition of a concept.
> For the human brain, the LSAT requires reasoning. But not for an LLM.

Exactly, much like a chess bot can play perfectly without what humans would call thinking.

I think (ironically) we'll soon realize that there is no actual task that would require thinking as we know it.
They had to liquidate some assets to cover withdrawals. In doing so, they lost money on their investments, which put them underwater in term of assets.
aren't you codeium?
It's worse: their solution is "guardrails".

The problem is that these "guardrails" are laid down between tokens, not subjects. That's simply what the model is made of. You can't distinguish the boundary between words, because the only boundaries GPT works with are between tokens. You can't recognize and sort subjects, because they aren't distinct objects or categories in the model.

So what you end up "guarding" is the semantic area of example text.

So if your training corpus (the content you're model was trained on) has useful examples of casual language, like idioms or parts of speech, but those examples happen to be semantically close to taboo subjects, both the subjects and the language examples will fall on the wrong side of the guardrails.

Writing style is very often unique to narratives and ideologies. You can't simply pick out and "guard against" the subjects or narratives you dislike without also guarding against that writing style.

The effect is familiar: ChatGPT overuses a verbose technical writing style in its continuations, and often avoids responding to appropriate casual writing prompts. Sometimes it responds to casual language by jumping over those guardrails, because that is where the writing style in question exists in the model (in the content of the training corpus), and the guardrails missed a spot.

You don't need to go as far as 4chan to get "unfriendly content". You do need to include examples of casual language to have an impressive language model.

This is one of many problems that arise from the implicit nature of LLM's. They can successfully navigate casual and ambiguous language, but they can never sort the subjects out of the language patterns.
I mean, the data has to come from somewhere.

Look at something like [Luncheon on the Grass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_D%C3%A9jeuner_sur_l%27herbe)

This painting was revolutionary. When it was first exhibited in Paris, people were shocked. It was rejected from the Salon (the most prominent art exhibition at the time). Yet, 10 years later, every painting in the Salon resembled it. And you can draw a line from this painting, to Monet, from which you can draw a line to Picasso, from which you can draw a line to Pollock....

Obviously, none of these are totally new innovations, they all came from somewhere. Pattern making.

The only difference between this and these language models is that Manet and artists like him use their rich sensory experience obtained outside of painting to make new paintings. But it's all fundamentally pattern matching in the end. As long as you can obtain the patterns, there's no difference between a human and a machine in this regard.
I just did this exact thing, it's very easy.
