I think the holy grail of safety research is widely understood to be a recipe for creating a friendly AGI (or, perhaps, a proof that dangerous AGI cannot be made, but that seems even more unlikely). Asking for a conservative lower bound is more like "at least prove that this LLM, which has finite memory and can only answer queries, is not capable of devising and executing a plan to kill all humans", and that turns out to be more difficult than you'd think even though it's not an AGI.

The problem is, those that are over the insured max *are* the shareholders and bondholders.

The paycheck to paycheck people, the ones using check cashing services, etc. are not banking, but what about them?

The point is, those over the insured limits have the means, brains, etc. to avoid the risk. Yet they decided not to do so. Why isn't capitalism and Uncle Sam willing to educate them (i.e., teach them a lesson)?

Oh yeah replenishment is beyond miniscule on any human timescales. Best case we use the amount of oil produced from ancient Egypt until now in ~3 days at current rate (see updated back-of-the-napkin estimate in sibling comment). This of course is based on averages and doesn’t factor in differences in “fertility”.

I was just curious about the numbers, mostly because media refuses to share anything more than the most simplistic data. For instance, if we can say that we drank 500k years or natural production in 1y, that is more meaningful (to me).
Here's a fun idea: ML model which takes an image of a UI (or mockup e.g. Figma) and recreates that UI in code. The ML model would infer callback/binding names, and any missing info like resize constraints, text / images / icons, buttons, etc.
Providing my anecdata. I've been at amazon for a few years and I have been in a few teams. In each team I would see about 10-20% of the team were not a net benefit to the team. Especially in 2022 I saw this figure grow even larger. This isn't a charity, if you're not contributing to the benefit of the company you should be let go.
I think you could say similar things about cloud computing, but we pay for different apps that are all ultimately startups re-selling AWS resources.
And it is a question to ask. Maybe a good question for ClickHouse and you can wait and see as their cloud offerings play out.

Well in this case they are providing systems management services as in the ClickHouse database as a service.
It was but that shouldn’t matter, the coolest part about these models is they should eventually be able to figure out a game like wordle themselves. If the user explains how to play the game, it shouldn’t matter when the model was trained
Commercial pilots spend much more time in the air, that would offset any additional protection. Which is minimal anyway. A thin layer of aluminium compared to plexiglass or glass. For Alpha particles either would give perfect protection, beta would be about the same. Neither hardly make it through our magnetic field anyway.

For gamma rays I wonder if Aluminium wouldn't trigger more bremsstrahlung, I remember reading somewhere that that is more prevalent in metal, but I'm not sure now.

I'm not sure what their cancer rates are though.

The reason for the higher time in the air is that fighters really need a ton of maintenance. Every flight hour means 10-15 hours of maintenance. For commercial jets it's like the opposite.
Not a comment to you, personally, but I saw someone the other day struggling to follow this philosophy. She struggled to open the door to a cafe for what felt like a whole minute because she refused to touch the handle with her hands.

All I could think was "if only there was some sort of technology that would leverage our biology to make opening doors easy."

Asking what is an OS seems like kind of a hard question unless you have a decent amount of low level experience. At a high level I would say something like “software that provides an environment for other software to run safely and concurrently on top of and interact with hardware” or more concretely “a big while loop over a linked list of running processes that occasionally does syscalls” but I’m probably missing a lot.
There have always been drugs in California. Nothing new there. Do you have an issue with compassion in policing? Or should all policing always come with a baton, a gun, and handcuffs?

Yes, it used to happen. I think though, that the trend of providing just wifi and the customer supplies their own device will spread. It's cheaper.
Not to mention this falls on Access World Group (as a subsidiary of Glencore PLC) with Glencore (a mineral multinational) having 2022 revenues greater than $250 billion US per annum.

It's a literal rounding error (albeit likely evidence of warehouse theft) in an industry where operating nickel mines have a fleet of 100 tonne haulpaks each of which has an ownership cost of > $1.3 million (truck + tyres + maintainance + 24/7 crew costs).
Apparently (i don't know firsthand, but have friends in this game), this happens somewhat frequently. Physical commodity trading seems to be the wild wild west.

people rarely invest into new ventures, raise wages, or hire more employees during a bank run. the FDIC stepping in doesn't negate that (it probably prevented a serious crash that could have lead to even more supply chain fluctuations, which itself causes a significant portion of the inflation.)

I think my bigger concern with AI in the short term isn't the immediate displacement of all jobs, but something more personal.

In much of the world today, we observe the fraying of human connection and relationships due to a variety of factors [0], and this could be further accelerated by AI that can seem very human-like [1]

[0] https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-yo...

[1] https://www.thecut.com/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-ch...

Whether we should even pursue this direction of creating artificial companions to replace human connection is a whole another can of worms.
As far as I can tell, this is not part of the argument or discussion at this point, other than the starting observation that the initial "Open" might be a misnomer for OpenAI.

As I've mentioned a few times here and elsewhere, IMO police salaries would be justified if they were actually good at their jobs, or at least not openly corrupt and abusive. Policing in America is absolutely a dangerous and difficult job. It's just that the numbers start to look a little more questionable when you look at how police departments actually behave.
They are measurably behind since they have yet to put a LLM into a single product or even let anyone outside of the company try any of their models. Meanwhile, Microsoft has fully launched GPT in Bing and is driving ahead with deep office integration. GPT-4 is quite cool on its own, but their trick of prompt orchestration and allowing the LLM to interact with the office application APIs looks like it will have plenty of real world impact on users.

Separate problems. One, a security issued by an issuer. The second, bad sale by a broker. That the broker is affiliated with the issuer is interesting, and I imagine everyone who bought CS AT1s is gearing up the lawsuit bazooka, but not super relevant to the zeroing out per se.

Am I the only one who finds argbash unnecessarily complicated?

For my own needs, I rely on a tiny function I wrote, called process_optargs. Example use:

source /path/to/process_optargs
source /path/to/error
source /path/to/is_in

function myfunction () { # example function whose options/arguments we'd want to process

# Define local variables which will be populated or checked against inside process_optargs
local -A OPTIONS=()
local -a ARGS=()
local -a VALID_FLAG_OPTIONS=( -h/--help -v --version ) # note -v and --version represent separate flags here! (e.g. '-v' could be for 'verbose')
local -a VALID_KEYVAL_OPTIONS=( -r/--repetitions )
local COMMAND_NAME="myfunction"

# Process options and arguments; exit if an error occurs
process_optargs "$@" || exit 1

# Validate and collect parsed options and arguments as desired
if is_in '-h' "${!OPTIONS[@]}" || is_in '--help' "${!OPTIONS[@]}"
then display_help
fi

if is_in '-r' "${!OPTIONS[@]}"; then REPS="${OPTIONS[-r]}"
elif is_in '--repetitions' "${!OPTIONS[@]}"; then REPS="${OPTIONS[--repetitions]}"
fi

if test "${#ARGS[@]}" -lt 2
then error "myfunction requires at least 2 non-option arguments"
exit 1
fi

# ...etc
}

It works as you'd expect, with appropriate checks for correctness of inputs, and is compatible with most unix conventions (including '--' and '-' as arguments).

If anyone's interested let me know and I can share the code.

Add to that GC implementation is different for each language, so having generic garbage collector might not be desirable. Consider Erlang which supports millions of processes per node:

> Each Erlang process has its own stack and heap which are allocated in the same memory block and grow towards each other. When the stack and the heap meet, the garbage collector is triggered and memory is reclaimed. If not enough memory was reclaimed, the heap will grow.

That said, there is a WebAssembly compiler for Erlang:

The lessons the article refers to are “not enough government programs.” It ignore the fact that places like Sweden have a free fall fertility rate as well.

There are no “lessons” because there are no government programs shown to increase fertility rate.

So NPR just injects “more government programs” for purely ideological purposes.

> Afaik Switzerland is not yet a fully financialized economic system but it's certainly up there. The future will be interesting for them.

Too late. I can't find the data at the moment, but deposits in Swiss banks are more than 400% of GDP. (The US's economy is about the least reliant on financials, with deposits at slightly more than 100% of GDP.)
> rest of the states align with one of those

What? There are definitely political belts in American state legislatures. But to say the Midwest follows New York or Texas is laughable.
Ah. Yes, a possible connection to a $577 million fraud case would seem to cast doubt on this being "an isolated case and specific to one warehouse in Rotterdam".
Few people that claim to believe in intellectual “property” do so consistently. For instance, most of these artists claiming they’re being stolen from by AI would not support arresting people over copying NFTs, pirating, etc. IP is just a sorry excuse for getting state sponsored rights to thoughts and ideas.
But I suspect it is a much less desired job in the US. And because of that the people who are drawn to it tend to be drawn to the negative aspects of it.

I am currently building an auto-updating webcomic display for a community bulletin board. It's of course a great application for an e-ink display because it only requires power to update.

Further implementation details: I'm using an ATTiny85 to feed 120 seconds of power-on time to a Raspberry Pi Zero W every 12 hours or so, via a MOSFET. That way I don't have to keep the RPi powered on. Power source is 3 D-cells.
Not at all - I read a lot of papers in science and the one that you chose to indirectly link via a pop sci article simply doesn't support the claim made.

It literally doesn't even directly look at COVID, that connection is vague, indirect and couched in terms of "deserves a look".

Papers that address vaccine safety will look at large populations (and provide numbers and time frames) and provide hard numbers on various classes of outcomes.

> Property laws exist because if I take your shoe, you don't have your shoe anymore.

This is a common misunderstanding about property law, and speaks to a broader misunderstanding about law in the tech community.

In practice law in the US is not based on first principles thinking, though first principles thinking lays out some of its corner stone ideas. The law should be thought of as being primarily consequentialist. A tool to uphold the legislative spirit of the constitution and bills passed by the legislature. You can get some pretty wild readings of the law in order to uphold the law's "spirit". Note that the bias towards adhering to older rulings is also consequentialist, the preference is a stable if slightly interpretation of the long than many small refinements over time.

It's natural to wonder why the law isn't made to be based on first principles, the answer is that no one will accept the consequences! All legislative bodies move slowly and people who find loopholes move fast. Truly strict interpretation of the law is bedlam. (Which is not to say you can't move the needle)

> he sees CIA coups everywhere in the 60s, murder of jfk, murder of lumumba

Considering how that is the whole business of CIA (aside from drug running to finance those and the paramilitaries, guerillas and islamists they fund), he is not far off. Solely the coups in South America would already flood the list, Africa would need a few more pages. Then there are coups in the Middle East etc. Incidentally, the later Iranian Islamic revolution is the result of the 1953 coup that CIA helped organize in Iran.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...

They even hired the most famous mobsters in Tehran to help with the coup. So I guess the tendency of the CIA to choose the worst type of people to work with did not originate in the 1960s, and instead it was there when it was founded...

...

The murder of JFK is very specific, btw - its very plausible that CIA did it (Dulles) because JFK has sabotaged two CIA projects - the Bay of Pigs push and then the French coup. And that Dulles was a nasty, nasty, nasty man...
> Gratz said that IA avoids the conflict by only lending out e-books to one user at a time, causing no harm because it honors traditional lending in brick-and-mortar libraries that has been practiced for years without impacting publishers’ bottom lines.

This is a bad argument. It's very likely that brick-and-mortar libaries do impact publishers' bottom lines, and they're allowed anyway. The concept of libraries fundamentally conflicts with publishers' concept of "reasonable" profit from their copyrighted material. Capitalism conflicts with socialism.
