> I would probably argue that venture capitalists are not good for society regardless of what they’re investing in

That's kind of a stupid and black and white argument. It can be good, might not be. Overall customers decide. If society deems slavery ok, then some VCs can and will make money with it.

Shitting on VCs from someone that advocates for crypto and "aLtErNaTiVe MoDeLs". This bullshit can only come from someone who never dealt with funding in a startup. I'd rather have a bunch of VCs getting me and my idea instead of having to manage investor relations for thousands of crypto bros. Also: crowdfunding fails if you have complex special solutions which no one understands. The probability that there's a low number of VCs even getting your idea is way higher than getting a critical number of crowdfunders to get your idea so you can even try.
Why would machines trained by human writings be better at it?
I think we should get into the habit of changing leadership on the basis of results alone. So a serious incident would result in the commander being reassigned or demoted. And leadership would be held directly accountable for events regardless of their own culpability.

I don't think so. OpenAI doesn't do anything but AI. You can't ask GPT to actually do anything for you but generate output.

Siri, the crap it is, can actually do things for you. Alexa can do things for you.

The real value of this system is as a control interface and OpenAI has nothing to control.
I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with so much pain and difficulty. It sounds like you're carrying a heavy burden, and it's understandable that you feel overwhelmed and hopeless.

It's important to remember that suicide is not the only option, and there is hope for a better future. You don't have to face these challenges alone. Have you spoken to a mental health professional about your struggles? If not, I would encourage you to seek out a therapist or counselor who can offer you support and guidance.

It's also important to take care of your physical and emotional health. While losing weight, improving sleep, and sharpening cognitive abilities can be challenging, it's important to take small steps and celebrate progress, rather than focusing on the ultimate goal. It may be helpful to seek out a support group or find an accountability partner to help you stay motivated and on track.

Lastly, please know that there are people who care about you and want to help. You are not alone in this struggle, and there is always hope for a better tomorrow. If you ever feel like you're in crisis, please reach out to a crisis hotline or emergency services for immediate support.
> “I mean, I would probably argue that venture capitalists are not good for society regardless of what they’re investing in.”

Definitely. Personally, I have __never__ purchased anything from Amazon, looked anything up with Google, shipped anything with FedEx, gotten somewhere with Uber, received a COVID vaccine from Moderna, used an iPhone or Android cell phone, played an Atari or EA video game, used a Mac or Windows computer, used any program that relies on NVIDIA GPUs, sent money via Paypal/Venmo/CashApp, contacted someone using a Cisco phone or router, found a job or closed a sale via Linkedin, watched a video with YouTube, shared a file with Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive, stayed in an Airbnb, booked travel with Kayak/Expedia, bought a home that I found on Zillow, bought anything online via Stripe/Shopify, bought anything in-person via Square terminal, looked a Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter post, bought groceries with Instacart, ordered food with Doordash, hosted code on Github, made a video call with Zoom, looked at a Figma/Sketch design for work.

It was, in any case, of course certain that all of these things would exist.

> For all the talk of unbridled innovation, venture capital services only very specific types of innovation: those that stand to produce large exits for investors, and with relatively low risk, regardless of whether the business itself holds much promise or provides any societal benefit.

Yes. Anyone who has ever worked for or invested in a startup can attest to how low-risk and predictable they are. If only they were more volatile: then my life would be more interesting.

3% of seed-stage startups eventually exit? If only I could count on success like that each time I drive my car, take a flight, or cross the street.

I don't personally use this method, but it seems to me like this would help with all the cases where you search for something on stackoverflow, use the solution, and 3+ months later you encounter the exact same issue. You remember that you already had this issue, and you remember that you searched on SO and found a solution, but you don't remember what it was.
If you wrote a flash-card and learned it, you'd have that knowledge available immediately.
Or, let's say you're learning a new language/framework that you want to use professionally, but don't use frequently yet. So you start a project in that language/framework, learn some of the things that make it different, and every time something surprised you or you had to search for a solution, you write a flashcard. Then you can learn these aspects separately from having to work on a project, and once you do have a use for it, you have the knowledge available.

I think this could be less likely if you're very specialized, but if you're a consultant or freelancer and have to work with lots of different technologies, locking down the differences and unique aspects for each could save a lot of time.
"The need to address them" is key there. There is no need for everyone to work to address or think about the injustices, people who push the "you are either with us or against us" onto people and force them to make a choice instead of being bystanders are "woke". Most people dislike that kind of "woke", no matter if they are left or right, being forced to take a stand when you are stressed and tired enough already is very uncomfortable.

This is arguably not a problem with the review process, but a problem of not being able to maintain an asynchronous workflow.

Git itself is made from the ground up to allow you to make a change, send it out, and then go focus on something else for the next few hours. It does require some amount of learning your tools (e.g., cherry-pick and rebase), and unfortunately most of the forges that people build on top of Git are quite bad at this. (Gerrit is the best one I know for this particular problem space; unfortunately, it has some other downsides.)
I wonder why the for-teacher version uses chords to establish the tonic, and the other uses just a note. I find the latter much easier (but probably only because that's what I've practiced). I assume there's great benefit in being proficient in both.
Life is unrepeatable. You need to find a thing that drives you to do more of it everyday. Do you like IT? Programming maybe?
What do Tink (and other open banking providers) do with their transaction data?
They must process millions of transaction data daily. Obviously with GDPR they're not allowed to sell it if it contains any personally identifiable information.

But it's not so hard to anonymize transactions, especially for countries like the UK where everyone goes to the same shops (Tesco, John Lewis, etc). This data would be super valuable, and with statistics the sample size needed isn't as big as you think. It could be a finger on the pulse of the economy.

So I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this!?

Then they wouldn't release anything to the researchers. Reason LLaMA weights are spreading in the first place is because they let a big group of people get access, someone is bound to upload it as a torrent.

Seems they gave people with .edu emails access relatively quickly too, researcher or not.

First off... The authors of articles doesn't come up with the title. If you want to gripe about the headline writer, fine, but it's not relevant to the substance of the article that was actually written. I don't see the title as pejorative, but then again I'm also not seeking to feel performatively offended.

Never once in the article is it suggested we should think unkindly of Da Vinci. From the very first paragraph onward, the article is sympathetic to him. You wanted to be offended and wanted to read into the article that this was something akin to Da Vinci being cancelled or criticized according to modern norms, but that's literally the opposite of what is written.

I’d be surprised if there was a market for a Framework laptop dedicated to gaming but I am really intrigued by a Framework laptop that can game.

I use my laptop for my work software engineering but since the pandemic have gotten back into gaming a little. I’m on an old Xbox and it’s showing its age but I don’t game enough to justify buying a whole gaming PC. If I can plug a GPU into my work machine and play some games? Now that’s compelling. The fact that it wouldn’t have all the cringey “gamer” decorations you see on the average gaming laptop would be a bonus too.

(all that said a Steam Deck is probably still the more compelling purchase for me in that regard, I’ve been eyeing one for a while)

> large scale paper ballot tampering scales very well to the point of turning elections, and is much easier to pull off because it happens in the fringe where no one is looking

In many countries, there are many tens of thousands of individual polling stations. A conspiracy to tamper with enough of them to make a difference isn't going to stay secret for very long because it would have to involve too many people. Tampering with paper ballots just doesn't scale, and in most places, election observers with their old-fashioned Mk I eyeballs are allowed to watch what's going on at every stage.

> (while tampering the electronic system would require pulling your heist in the IT room where everyone is looking)

How would we propose that an average human election observer is supposed to detect whether any particular system involved in electronic voting is - or isn't - in the process of "pulling a heist"?
Anime is just a short for animation, so it's not really Japaneses, more Japanese slang of an English word. But in this specific case, the term anime is more referring to the specific art-style and game-concept, which originates from Japan.

If we assume there was a criminal conspiracy among the police to knowingly use fabricated evidence, then the issue is not so much with training (through an ethics class might help). The main issue would be structural in the police organization that allowed a criminal conspiracy to exist, and a significant lack of effective regulations.

But the open source world has the resources to write new build systems (and ecosystems!) time and time again. This argument does not hold up.
> Able to perform observations that human senses are unable to.

What sources of observations do AIs have that human senses don't?

I mean, you could talk about something like the Webb Telescope, which can see things that humans can't. But humans can see what Webb sends back just as well as an AI can.

If you mean that AIs can spot things in, say, medical images that humans can't, even when looking at the same image, that's true, but I'm not sure that it's all that relevant to the current question.

Mario 64 has 209 mario animations. I think this is probably the reason other 3d platformers at the time felt stiff in comparison.

Also they realised at some point in development that mario just wasn't fun to control so they put a lot of effort into that. I feel games today seem to put a lot of effort into content instead.

My favourite games are all ones with deep satisfying controls that require practice to get good at, wave race 64, 1080 snowboarding, Tony hawk's 2, Goldeneye eye.

If you find yourself piping any combination of cut, grep, sed, uniq (and likely others I'm missing) together, you can probably do it all in awk. If you can guarantee usage of gawk, you can add sort to that list (tbf you can also implement any algorithm you want in awk, but arguably at that point you're wasting time) - and it's also worth noting that you can dedupe in awk _without_ having sorted input, albeit at the cost of storing all unique lines in memory.

Pipes are great because they enable you to trivially send data between programs, and they're terrible for the same reason. While the execution time on modern computers for the average data size isn't noticeable, on larger datasets or repeated execution, it absolutely is. If you don't have to pipe, don't.

Ha! Don't forget to "Press [F] to Pay Respects to Capitalism"
One can believe that the combination of democracy and capitalism is the best thing humanity could come up with, and realize it still sucks.

Humans are tribal above all else. We evolved to cooperate on small bands hunting animals in some African savannah, not to cooperate in large scale as the world we create requires. Any government system we come up with will become dysfunctional because we are unfit for the world we created.

My point still stands. The ruling class is as powerful as they always were, and operate on rules designed by them, so that they can better oppress the lower classes. And I don't advocate that a different system would be any different. There will always be a ruling class.
…unless the police are investigating Team Red, in which case they are part of the vast left wing conspiracy.

…and except when Team Red needs to justify owning military grade weapons, in which case it’s all about deterring tyranny by being prepared to shoot cops and soldiers.

I went for the 16" with M1 Max w/32 GPU cores and 1TB SSD (500GB free, I offload most large files my NAS/iCloud). On the added power usage, my understanding is that's less of a concern due to using LPDDR5?

The only drawback I've found with the M1 Max model is the added weight from the bigger heatsink just makes it a hair heavier than I'd like when picking it up at the front with one hand when open... and that in the winter time the case is cold no matter what you're running, I used to love that my Intel MBP acted as a mini leg warmer :-)
I don't get some coders/devs/software engineers surprised that LLM can now pretty much create a whole code out of a prompt.

Wasn't this the final objective of the programming languages abstraction evolution? From Binary/Assembly to Natural Language Programming? I think it is awesome that more people will be able to create software/products as this accelerates innovation cycles a lot.

And, for now, I believe devs that don't rely solely on copy/paste coding from stack exchange don't need to worry about their job stability no?

I did read it and I disagree with that assessment. In my town, officers were required to have a Bachelor's degree. I'm not sure if that's the case in a lot of places. Unfortunately I think for some, training and "following orders," might override any benefit from education or IQ.

Again, this is an easy and thoughtless take without a proposed alternative. (Benevolent AI is just benevolent dictatorship with a veneer.)

It's also gratingly at odds with very modern history. History that, granted, is not part of our public education corpus.
Impersonating the server allows code theft.

> Could anyone with that key have cloned any GitHub repo, private or not?

If you try to push to GitHub but someone is MITMing you with the leaked key, they can say "I'm an empty repo" and the client will helpfully push all the commits to the attacker.

Until everyone updates their .ssh/known_hosts file, a MITM attack can still steal code in this way.

Your comparison is poor.

A more accurate comparison would be firing the whole team for inserting intentional backdoors and collecting fractional pennies from each transaction and depositing them in personal accounts.

Accidents happen to everyone. We often make trade offs. In the cases we're talking about, these weren't accidents or appropriate judgement calls.
It's an interesting legal question. US copyright is based around expressiveness and originality (which is why phone books and IBM's logo are not copyright protected.)

An argument might be made that the curation of data that goes into the training set qualifies, but it might depend on how much expressiveness and originality went into the curation.

For example, I could see a court ruling that the weights for a model trained on "all the good music from the 70s" is copyrightable, as someone had to express what they believed was "good" music, but a model trained on a large percentage of the internet without much curation would not.

Of course, nobody really knows until the courts weigh-in on it.
> The other serious issue is that each party has a completely unaccountable and opaque system for deciding on a list of representatives.

I'm in a FPTP, two-party country, and strongly favour PR. But definitely not a PR system based on party list. That looks like the worst of all possible worlds, including FPTP.
CSGO has had a lot of work put into it. It's a very different game than when I started playing it (over 10 years ago). I remember it wasn't even developed by Valve, originally. It was developed by Hidden Path Entertainment. For a long time after it was released, CS 1.6 and Source were still more popular than it. None of the maps in the current Active Duty pool were included in the initial CSGO release. They've either been re-made from scratch or are entirely new. Every weapon other than maybe the knife has undergone balancing changes in terms of cost, reload speed, movement speed, accuracy, etc. Various new weapons have been added to the game. New game modes have been added, including Danger Zone, which is pretty much an entire game of itself. Battle passes have been introduced. Skins implemented. Etc., etc. - and 1.6 and Source are all but forgotten.

I think this is actually the key to understanding the significance of CS2. It looks very similar to CSGO. But, in 10 years time, I suspect many major changes will have been made that will distinguish it very much from CSGO, updates that would have been impossible if they'd stuck with the source engine.
Being in a 0.1% bucket is only ~10 bits of information - much less than what can be gathered with JS on.

And of course its not enough, but the situation is even more hopeless with JS on.
Could be a good thing. Maybe this is the push the world needs to create a business model around providing useful information without surveillance capitalism smeared on top.
> any code pushed or pulled from private repositories can no longer be considered private.

Do you realize that the code just sits on GitHub servers even if it's private?

If you have any degree of paranoia, why do you put your code into GitHub?!?!

Like, if you work on code which
