I wonder why this effect was not discovered when screens were first invented and entered the home back in the early 20th century when televisions came about. It really makes me doubt the entire premise as screens have not changed since then. It just seems like another unfounded moral panic like when people blamed books, newspapers, or radio for youth misbehavior. Every generation has it's own. It's weird that we've gone back to the 1940s for the 2020s moral panic.

Using EEG to try to say something about executive function has about as much legitimacy as a horoscope does about how my day will go. It's amazing this passed JAMA's review to be published.

If you’re dealing with consultants then put in the contract that the team that sold you the deal will be the team that delivers it or you walk. It’s not rocket surgery.
You are mistaken, the matter currently in court is a suit targeting controlled digital lending, not the Emergency Library.

Microsoft can do a lot of things right (asp.net core and sql server are awesome products). But they really suck at creating UI toolkits and platforms. The last sane UI toolkit was Winforms, but it didn’t really evolve for 20 over years now.
I’ve never thought about trying this to refill a converter. I assume this is what you’re getting at? Or are you just refilling regular (normally disposable) cartridges?
I'm a long time LLM enjoyer and by far the best analysis I've seen for that is https://generative.ink/posts/simulators/ but it's way "too much" for normal people who are learning about stochastic parrots and blurry jpegs instead.
It's really a bad law.

There's a clear difference between 'aiding and abetting', and the much vaguer 'facilitating', 'supporting', which could be true of phone, or electricity companies for example.

But I believe those companies are required to provide service, as they are 'utilities'.
It's a favorable signal if you think that they have too many employees for their current requirements - or if you think that they have enough inertia to produce good results in the next quarter due to a drastic cut in expenses, and you plan to exit before the long-term effects catch up to them. It could also mean that you still think that their ship is sinking, but it's just sinking a little slower now.

No one thinks it's an ethically good thing to do, or that the human lives affected by it are irrelevant. The direction of their stock is almost completely divorced from those kinds of questions, and is instead a purely financial judgement.

It's good to be somewhat confused by that state of affairs, otherwise you'll mistake wealth or popularity for goodness or rightness. We need to be careful to structure the our society and the means to change our culture such that we don't systemically bias it towards unfavorable outcomes that might be more successful in a more ruthless environment.

Amazon destroyed the used book business in cities across the Western world; I have never purchased a book from Amazon dot com. Is the world a better place with your $130 million fantasy money? at what cost
Sigh.

Being in country A and able to choose products made in country B is the result of specific political and legal choices made by the power structures of both countries.

Historically, there was nothing inevitable about the free movement of capital, goods and profit, but over the last half century or more, this has come to be seen as "normal".

Your argument is the classic one in favor of removing restrictions on the movement of capital, goods and profit (not labor!), and has been the justification for almost every free trade agreement over the last 75 years.

The evidence of it being a net benefit to everyone is now starting to skew against that claim. The distribution of negative environmental externalities to poor countries in particular argues against it (i.e. country X can make your widgets cheaper because they have less regulation about waste and pollution).

We're all consumers, it is true. But we're all citizens and employees too, and we spend more of our lives in those roles. Global free trade may be a boon to our lives as consumers, but it's been fucking over our lives as citizens and employees for too long alread.
Nice, I was right ... up to yesterday. Now it's fixed. Things are moving quickly.
Sigh. Come on. Wikipedia has already clearly debunked this silly idea. We are not knowledge vending machines into which you must insert money to get knowledge.
>“It’s like saying a car can go faster than a human runner. Of course it can, and yet we don’t say that the car has become a better runner.”

That's a pointless argument. We might not say it, but for all intents and purposes the car does go faster than any human runner.

We just don't say it because running when it comes to humans mainly means using your feet. If it was a more generic term, like "fast-mover", we could still use it to compare humans and cars, and say cars are better "fast-movers" than humans.

I believe it is part of their marketing strategy -- being seen as a "cold blooded murderer" may add to the "cool factor" of the artist, which may appeal to the fans, even when it's artificially cultivated.
Still we are still talking about having a moderating team, right? Once a user get a strike I should let them defend themselves and then making a decision about removing their content.

I'm just trying to see if it's possible to have a platform that deals with user content without having a army of people behind it.
That's kind of a stretch though, wouldn't you agree? I would be hard-pressed to name a major news source that typically constructs their headlines this way.

In any case, it still doesn't explain the intent behind editing the original title. I would argue that "this headline needs more quaintness" is not a valid reason to editorialize here.
Or a proof that it's not possible.

Unfortunately, it seems like its the big boys. Open AI is having its moment, but otherwise seems to be about the megas like Google & Microsoft.
In 2020 this poll found 32% of Americans report owning a gun, and 44% live in a household with one. So not "most", but not insubstantial either.

You're focusing on whether it's the phone owner's fault or the thief's fault, my point is that it isn't the app's fault.
But they are also killing books.

Youtube is free, instant, fast.

I love books, when people spend their life condensing information and you spend a few hours to get the most important parts, but controlling access more and more mean that books will get less and less important.

Books and publishing industries are a result of a technology: paper, printing, binding.
Now in the digital age an ebook should cost close the the amount the author get 1$-2$/book.

If they were this price and easily downloadable we would have a massive shift to digital books, completely disrupting the industry. But what we have is stagnation and regulatory capture.
You just talk to it like you would talk to another engineer. I e.g. first describe what I want to achieve and ask it to give me an architecture. I then e.g. ask to break down the work into different smaller tasks, and ask it to do each task, adding to what it wrote before. A bit hard to reproduce all prompts here and the UI doesn't allow to share, but it comes quite natural I find. Sometimes you need to ask it to continue as the output just stops, but other than that it's like talking to a colleague (with superhuman powers).
Many companies don't pay ML engineers/researchers for the time spent training an ML model anymore.
Everything. In any random group of 100 tech suits there will be 3 or 4 Accenture people.
> Go lurk on alignmentforum.org for a while, and you'll have a different perspective on OpenAI's decisions.

No I won't, because the arguably most successful way of detecting, preventing and/or fixing problems with almost all complex systems, is to have as many eyeballs on them as possible. This has been known in software engineering for quite some time:

"Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow."

It happens in the US too. Tribalism and ideological clustering are so similar, they are being used interchangeably these days. But in some traditional countries there are literal clans and tribes voting in blocks.
It's even easier to just download a pirated copy than to bypass the DRM.

The mere fact that someone is using CDL is strong evidence that they are following the rules and not trying to make an illicit copy.
I agree - it’s hard to enter a flow state while reviewing someone else’s - or some AI’s - code. That’s a major reason why I haven’t started using LLMs for code, personally.

I am glad someone else feels this way. Maybe it’s not going to be as big a paradigm shift as I originally expected.
I’m not sure if OP is Indian but in Indian English this is a pretty standard way of using the conditional tense in that variety of English [1]. It has led to misunderstanding and miscommunication on my part, so I’m not surprised to see such confusion here

You can fairly easily set up a not-very-distributed Kubernetes cluster and you won't need as much stuff.
Thank you for the link to the YouTube video. There are some thought-provoking (and behavior-changing) ideas in those 9 minutes.

My interpretation is that “strategy” as he defines it is an exercise in human whimsy. “I choose to play in this playing field.” “My theory for why I can achieve the objective — which is inherently outside my control — is xyz.” In other words, strategy is first a moment of creation. Ex nihilo.

After selecting a strategy the AI berserkers* take over and relentlessly and pitilessly drive you forward to Total World Domination.

So I guess what I’m saying is: I don’t understand how AI participates in that “In the beginning . . . “ creation of a strategy. Unless, of course, AI is God.

What am I not seeing?

* when I read all of the breathless doomer “AI is going to eat babies” articles online I am reminded of Fred Saberhagen’s Berserker series.
Careful there; you sound almost like one of those silly German guys who moved to England in the middle of the XIX century.
Have you played with ChatGPT or GitHub copilot? 5 years ago, I'd agree with you, but nowadays, 'cherry picked wins' happen far more often than not in my experience.
I have Fedora 38 beta/G44 on my laptop. I don't use my laptop too much; mostly as a terminal or browser portal for research and chilling. I don't code or compile much, and I don't access local filesystems often.

I think the navigation and UI of Gnome 44 looks great. I love the redesigned system tray - Mac-ish but functional and informative. Capable of touch-based but not ridiculously so.

I don't have the experience with the filesystem to complain about the navigation or view there. Windows has always had the best file viewer IMO - MacOS is confusing as hell and Gnome has always had limited viewing options as well.
Not only quality, Google probably also has to worry about environmental impact. Maybe that will be their "angle of attack" on chatgpt if they get roughly to parity in terms of usefulness.
So Ford is providing pictures for people who ordered Ford Broncos currently. And for a method of keeping customers interested in the vehicle they ordered I think it is a really good tactic.

That was supposed to be a sarcastic understatement, but it appears to have fallen flat.

At any rate, let me relate my experience living a reasonably ordinary day:
6 AM buy milk from nandini parlour near the park, payment using UPI
7AM take bus to college/work: payment via UPI (as i have a digital bus pass)
8AM morning coffee at cafe: payment UPI
12 PM lunch, also UPI
6 PM groceries for the night/breakfast, payment UPI, at a small roadside vendor.

I do concede that my life is rather privileged, and the areas i go around in are not very high rent.

This year, when i went on a trip to coastal Karnataka, i used all of ~700 INR in the form of cash, ~5% of my trip budget for 4.
Of that 700, only 200 went towards paying vendors. The rest went towards donations in temples.

The areas i travelled to however, were not the very touristy places, but rather more ordinary places, with reasonable hotels.
It's downright pleasant, with typescript. All the "waaaah boilerplate" stuff goes away. It's very simple (not even hard to reimplement, in a pinch). Truly does work well with non-React codebases, so if you build your business logic or at least your client-code around it, it's portable.

I stopped being a React fan with hooks, but remain a fan of Redux.

> Honourable mention for Twin Peaks: The Return, although Twin Peaks didn't exactly maintain its quality throughout season 2 even if Lynch swooped back in to save it near the end.

Yeah honestly I didn’t care for it much. The casino plot felt like tedious filler, certain interesting characters from the original completely were completely sidelined, and at times it just felt like the horror surrealism was over the top to force some extra shock value.

More egregious to me though are the remakes of Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum PI. Those make me legitimately angry when I see them.
So basically the same as writing it yourself: just skipping the writing part.

So should we be taking about GPT as an occasional text editor replacement? I honestly think that's more accurate take than most of the ones I have seen.
Testing Kafka-Based Asynchronous Workflows Using OpenTelemetry
I think many supportive of a ban are thinking the United States is the United States of 100 years ago, not 40. The United States of the early 20th century wouldn't have tolerated any of this. Teddy would've broken up all Big Tech and banned TikTok without breaking a sweat, and simply sneered at the detractors before going on another safari.

Unfortunately, this America no longer exists.

Unrelated, but the technology and engineering behind ATLAS is immense. ~98 million data channels streaming out at 2Ghz (at least that is what I recall). Cut down to a manageable level by hundreds of FPGAs in the L1 trigger.

Software doesn't "apply" rules, humans do that.

Yes, the software may be part of the apparatus of a cold unfeeling bureaucracy (private or state), but it is the decision of human beings to accept its output that causes the damage.

I should have probably dropped the term "sentience" - I agree it is not really relevant. I will need to think about examples like Therac-25. Not sure how that fits in my ontology right now.

All of them. And the compiler engineers try to push work into the CPU.
Do you have the money to enforce such (dis)claims? That's really what it comes down to, you might be right but you'd go bankrupt in the process. It's simply better to just use something that didn't touch their outputs in the first place, like OpenAssistant.

About ten years ago, a big VC partner gave a talk at Stanford. In his talk he asked the audience which company would be “the next Google”. After hearing a few suggestions, he said the company hadn’t even been started yet hence nobody could really know.

Changes are happening so fast now, that I wouldn’t be surprised if 6 months to 1 year from now, something comes out that kills GPT.

It’s very hard right now to tell who the winners will be.

For now, if I had to choose (this is not financial advice), maybe betting on MS and NVIDIA could pay off in the short-midterm. But 2-5 years from now? Impossible to know.
Isn’t this pretty standard among developed countries and not unique to the US?

ARCNet was nice, except for when people decided randomly to remove the terminator off the t-connector on the back of their desktop because "it looked weird" and thus taking down the whole network. That happened to me more than once doing network support in college.
In many projects, staking allows you to participate in governance.

You might also want to stake in order to keep up with inflation. If you make 10% in token interest, but the supply has increased by 20% in the same time period market cap decreased, you've probably lost money overall. You're still better off staking than holding in your wallet.

Point is that staking is not necessarily done as an expectation of profit (regardless of how crypto exchanges might advertise it).
On Blender, the cheap answer used to be Rhubarb addon, but there's probably something better now. Also also will probably depend on the rig and other accumulata.
> it suggests that most people are easily swayed by their local peers.

That feels like a particularly uncharitable interpretation to me.

I think it's more along the lines of that parties and their policies have very different impacts on different regions. So it makes sense to vote on what is beneficial to your region, and a lot of people will agree on that.

So it's not about susceptibility to being "swayed", but genuine policy affecting regions differently.

The president has become more of a dictator because Congress has abdicated a majority of their law making authority to the executive by creating administrative agencies. There is no real check on administrative agency rule making. The judiciary can block a rule but often defer to the expertise of the administrative agencies making the rules.
Exactly. These kinds of reductive arguments always bother me because they ignore emergent effects. Chess engines are “just” running minimax? Well guess what, they’re evaluating millions of positions per second.

If this whole intelligence thing can be reduced to “just” predicting the next word, maybe we’re not as special as we thought. In fact anyone who reads the Wikipedia article on cetacean intelligence will quickly realize that we aren’t the hot shit we once thought we were.
It’s only dubious from the publishers’ perspective.

It’s not much of a stretch to apply modern technology like streaming video, interactive screen sharing, or virtual reality to the established concept of a reading room, and wind up with something like CDL. There’s no technical reason why a patron shouldn’t be able to virtually ‘step into’ a reading room, and peruse something in the library’s collection. This would have been possible one book at a time using 20th century cable television broadcast and a telephone line. The internet just multiplies the number of ‘channels’ or books available concurrently to different patrons.
One the other hand, US birth rates improved during Covid, particularly among college educated women, while birth rates in China are falling far beneath replacement rate. So while each employer may prefer their worker in office, on a national level there may be a silver lining to WFH.
To me it's so funny when people say ChatGPT will make developers 5x more productive, because those people are basically just admitting they're not good at their jobs and assume the same holds true for everyone.
Why ask chatgpt to write the code when I can just ask it to do the task? Instead of "write code to do X", just ask it "do X".
It's way better. But equally slower!
As long as it's correlations and there's no biochemical pathway it's little more than social sciences.

I have to wonder if they don't have the correlation reversed, ie, parents who park their kids in front of screens at a younger age (because of disinterest) read less to them and provide a less stimulating and engaging environment for their children.
Cool, that was simpler to understand than I expected. Still unsure of the utility aside from understanding how things work.
"high school debate club"

I'm not from the US, we don't have high schools here and we don't have debate clubs. And I personally don't care the least about US moral judgements. No one outside the US (96% of the world population) cares about US moral judgements. I still have a trauma because as a kid I was forced to watch sitcoms with only black people and sitcoms with only white people, as if there were two planets (Golden Girls was neat though, Cosby didn't age that well - it was ok to rape women but not ok to kiss someone white on TV - how fu is that). But thanks for assuming. The world doesn't revolve around you, the US is not the center of the world. I know, shocking. Get over it. I'm just happy that the days of US culture imperialism and gun-point morale exports ends and no one is forced to care about your views in the future ("But we have atomic bombs!" Yes, heard that before recently). Iraq and Afghanistan showed the emporer wears no clothes. Sad thing is I probably need to learn Chinese, when the other bully enters the stage (there is always a bully) but at least it's a change + "Wandering Earth" wasn't that bad ... Humming 51st state
I heard about this on the radio this morning. It struck me as an example of the "death by 1000 cuts" of mildly burdensome regulations that each make it just a bit harder to run a company. I guess companies wouldn't have to worry about it until they have gotten big enough to have an unsubscribe webpage, so maybe not so burdensome.
