Are we talking worldwide there? How is that number even possible, that's like half the US's GDP and almost four times UK's.
Yes, we need cheaper energy. Nuclear is a good option. Many drawbacks of previous gen reactors have been solved.
Is a book containing a husband and wife sexually suggestive, as it shows a heterosexual couple? Is a book containing a nuclear family even more sexually suggestive, since it implies the husband and wife must have had sexual intercourse to produce the child?
No, you see, WeChat isn't taking marketshare from Facebook and Google, which is why no-one is paying politicians to be upset about it.
I like step-ca's approach to this, which is passive revocation. Their certs last 24h. That diminishes the use and also need of active revocation and all the associated baggage dramatically: just don't renew. I imagine this will be the way forward, slowly but surely. It's just that the public internet is too fragile for 24h windows... yet.
This is the part that blew my mind... As I heard things, they left an evidence collection receipt that said, for instance "We confiscated $4800 from your house".

But then when they returned his belonging, there was only $4400 (or whatever amount), and they're claim is "oh we miscounted. The receipt is wrong."

That's not how receipts work Cletus.
Apple has the chops to make a ‘hidemynumber’ successful but I highly doubt they would endeavor into that. Maybe if Twilio offers a similar service I would go in but Apple’s level of integration is difficult. The same reason I use iCloud Keychain more than 1Password.
This reminds me of speaking with SV investors. They’re eloquent and say things that sound plausible in the moment but then I snap out of it and realize they’ve said nothing meaningful or correct at all.
I had a similar impression from what I saw. Maybe it does perform as well as GPT-3 on narrow tasks that it was explicitly fine-tuned on, but that similarity in performance seems to collapse as soon as you go off the beaten track and give it harder tasks that involve significant reasoning. Consistent with that I've seen a few different sources claim that a small model fine-tuned off the outputs of a large one would likely struggle with unfamiliar tasks or contexts that require transfer learning or abstraction.

After seeing how it actually performs in practice, it's hard to have confidence that these benchmarks are reliable measures of model quality.

The contention was that the rich always want high inflation to stiff the poor. I’m just pointing out that’s not berm the case for, I said 20 years, but it’s actually been 30.

Yes we have high inflation now, but that’s just been a plain old cockup. The massive inflation reduction act stimulus for example.
What is the negative outcome of this?
I live in one of the most rural counties in Missouri, where libraries could actually close as a result, and I doubt I could find one parent in ten among my neighbors who wants the legislature to waste time on this cynical grandstanding. The problem with our libraries is not that there is pornography there. One notes that both of the execrable politicians quoted in TFA represent suburban districts on the Kansas border. I'm sure there are people in the Ozarks who agree with them, but overall we've got different priorities.

The unwarranted assumption you make in this comment is that legislation in USA reflects the will of the population. That is very rarely the case, and this is a perfect example. No one in this state woke up this morning worried about porn in an elementary school library.

I support vouchers, because even imperfect improvements are improvements. If a child isn't being served by a school, even poor parents should be able to do something about that. We can imagine a world in which the public schools offer enough options to help every child, but we don't live there yet.
What if those use-cases disappear also because they were made for humans? Will there really be a need for spreadsheets and spreadsheet plugins when all that works is done by an AI with a little help of some headless tool or scripting language?
If people hold it wrong so much, the tool is not adapted to the users. By definition
I'm surprised that such a person was willing to create such an extensive paper trail for their crimes, and that their customers were willing to go along with it too. If I were trying to hire a prostitute and the matter of my signature on a contract came up, I would conclude it was a police sting and GTFO.

Then again I don't hire prostitutes in the first place. I suppose those that do probably have a higher tolerance for criminal risk.
>Then you'd have to compute the gradients for the whole network

You have to do that with LoRA regardless, to compute the gradients for the lowest-level LoRA weights.
bittorrent, come on
I think all of the "AI alignment" talk is mostly fearmongering. It's a cunningly smart way to get ignorant people scared enough of AI so they have no choice but to trust the OpenAI overlords when they say they need AI to be closed. Then OpenAI gets a free pass to be the gatekeeper of the model, and people stop questioning the fact that they went from Open to Closed.

AI being tuned to be "safe" by an exceedingly small set of humans is the thing we should be afraid of. It's the effective altruism effect: if you bombard people enough with "safety" and "alignment" speak, they will look past the fact that you're mainly interested in being a monopoly. My bigger conspiracy theory is that Bill Gates getting behind "AI alignment" is a calculated move to get people to look past Microsoft's unilateral involvement.
Do you plan to make smaller laptops, like 11” or so?
The explanation at the time was that unavailable chat data (due to, e.g. high load) resulted in a null input sometimes being presented to the chat summary system, which in turn caused the system to hallucinate believable chat titles. It's possible that they misdiagnosed the issue or that both bugs were present and they caught the benign one before the serious one.

> When reading the reports it seems that those shootings were not unreasonable given the circumstances.

With cops and teenagers, the only narrative you're ever going to hear is whichever one paints them in a sympathetic light.

They would never do anything to provoke a violent response from the subject, no sir. They always announce their presence loud and clear and never surprise volatile subjects. They always opt for nonlethal measures before pulling out the service weapon.

Both cliques will also stick to their story even when you discover video evidence directly contradicting it.
Ok, I'm with you so far. But I think there's more to it.

What happens with those classes during deflation?
Perhaps it could be used for training. Also other calculation/simulation tools.
Exactly. Everyone is missing the big picture, focusing on Ken's jukebox, when its pretty shocking that Ken's giving up on a BSD-inspired (UNIX v7-descended) OS. Frankly, I was ready to throw my employer's mac against the wall when it refused to allow me to install gdb. The move towards gatekeeper and putting everything inside its own private walled garden will definitely ruin open source tools that can access any file on the system, making apple superior to all developers. I am pretty sure that some of these gestapo changes have been rolled back.
This isn’t a narrative I’ve seen in conservative media. Kind of ironic to bring up echo chambers after that lol.
I could build that meal for a little over $2 without all the crap and preservatives McDonalds pumps into their food.

Cheap food isn’t unhealthy. Rice, vegetables, chicken, it’s all cheap. People just aren’t used to calculating these costs.
Doesn't surprise me really. RHEL has priority for CVE's, always had, there is no reason for them to "test" CVE patches in CentOS Stream.

So this really speaks volumes about their commitment to CentOS.
It pretty much ensures a race to the bottom - there will be an app store that approves anything for a fee. Twitter checkmark style, with on-device consequences.

You can bet your ass that some entity you need to work with will be using this app store to push software onto your device that you don't want to be there. It could be your bank suctioning up your data to minimise their exposure to fraud. It could be your health insurer to check that you're not doing dangerous things like speeding, or living a sedentary lifestyle. It could be your own government making sure you don't seek out abortion information.
None of this stuff is possible under the current app store paradigm. We already got a taste of this when reputable companies such as Facebook and Google were both exploiting Enterprise Certificates to bypass protections: allowing them to vacuum up personal information, social media/IM conversations and constantly track the user.

I have no idea how the regulation is planning on managing permission bits, the whole point of having the approval system is that a developer had to prove they needed access to your contacts, location, camera, files, etc. Why does a flashlight app need access to your contacts?

Meanwhile you'll constantly hear people reply to these talking points about the seldom app that slipped through the app approval process:

1. This doesn't prove that we don't need an approval process

2. The amount of malware on iOS in comparison to Android, Windows and even macOS is extraordinarily low, not just as a % of users, but in absolute terms. It's very difficult to argue that the app store approach is ineffective and only there to make money when the statistics prove otherwise.

What the EU should have done is force apple to spin off approvals to an independent, audited company.

*tl,dr: There is an absolute shit show up ahead and people are too busy high-5'ing each other because they think they nailed it to Apple.
Early on I had the impression that short expiration probably made legacy CAs feel less threatened. Made Let’s Encrypt’s offering less comparable to those services —- prior to Let’s Encrypt, that business was basically:

Step 1) get my root cert accepted everywhere.
Step 2) print money.
Step 3) Try not to get hacked, print more money.
Rich people have a lot more debt than poor people. If you're too poor, nobody will loan you anything. The more money you have, the better the conditions will be which are available for you. Would a rich person ever consider something like your average payday loan? After the last couple of years with practically free loans, who do you expect to have borrowed more? The rich or the poor?
It can also be a learned reaction due to past experience. Shortage or hungry times resulting in an instinct to overeat when food is available to act as a buffer should bad times come again.
Thinking of getting a dog and this is one of my reasons why I want to do that.

I worked a lot with protocol buffers and for the problem it claims to solve it solves that problem well. I can't really grasp this criticism. That extreme type hell that Java coders like is not really a thing outside the Java world.
> Do you mean to talk about how developers aren’t good enough at reacting to bugs found in third party libraries, or how they should do more prevention?

My point was neither of these. My point is very simple: the developers of a product are responsible for how that product behaves.

I'm not saying developers have to be perfect, I'm just saying that there appears to be a tendency, when something goes wrong because of external code, to deflect blame and responsibility away from them and onto the external code.

I think this is an unseemly thing. If I ship a product and it malfunctions, that's on me. The customer will rightly blame me, and it's up to me to fix the problem.

Whether the bug was in code I wrote or in a library I used isn't relevant to that point.
Why not just hook up ChatGPT up to a Zapier plugin? Sure it’s super centralized, but would work now.

Albert Wenger from Union Square Ventures (who I know since 2014) wrote a book called worldaftercapital.com . And he mentioned years ago that you should have personal assistant agents book stuff for you etc. and answer queries. Well that would require a more decentralized, open source approach:

It's a fair point. I actually slept 8 hours last night (made sure not to eat after 7 or so, set my phone down early on). What's noteworthy is that... I noticed and was so excited I'd slept 8 hours. That used to not be noteworthy!
I think people are missing what's cool in the demo. It has bugs and answer is useless, but it shows that GPT is learning where are its limitation and who should it get help from.

e.g. It won't have real time inventory and prices of flight or hotels nor latest weather predictions. But as a human I also don't have this info, but I know that I can check these on Expedia or Agoda and weather.com etc and use the results further. ChatGPT is doing exactly that.

Sure it does not know how to use energy of uranium right now, but 1 year down the line it will be better. It would be cool to think of all the points I go on the Internet for some real-time info and all of them being exposed as an API to GPT.
After watching some of the congressional hearings yesterday and reading some of the news coverage, I can't wrap my head around how anyone can take this seriously anymore - it feels like I am living in a simulation, or a movie of some sort like The Truman Show.

I think what has enabled this must be something like this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog#As_metaphor

The boiling frog story is generally offered as a metaphor cautioning people to be aware of even gradual change lest they suffer eventual undesirable consequences. It may be invoked in support of a slippery slope argument as a caution against creeping normality. It is also used in business to reinforce that change needs to be gradual to be accepted.[6] The term "boiling frog syndrome" is a metaphor used to describe the failure to act against a problematic situation which will increase in severity until reaching catastrophic proportions.[7] It thereby encapsulates the barely noticeable impact of slow environmental degradation that has been described by Daniel Pauly as shifting baselines.[8]

The story has been retold many times and used to illustrate widely varying viewpoints: in 1960 about warning against those who are sympathetic towards the Soviet Union during the Cold War;[9] in 1980 about the impending collapse of civilization anticipated by survivalists;[10] in the 1990s about inaction in response to climate change and staying in abusive relationships.[11][12] It has also been used by libertarians to warn about the slow erosion of civil liberties.[6]

In the 1996 novel The Story of B, environmentalist author Daniel Quinn spends a chapter on the metaphor of the boiling frog, using it to describe human history, population growth and food surplus.[13] Pierce Brosnan's character Harry Dalton mentioned it in the 1997 disaster movie Dante's Peak in reference to the accumulating warning signs of the volcano's reawakening.[14] Al Gore used a version of the story in a New York Times op-ed,[15] in his presentations and the 2006 movie An Inconvenient Truth to describe ignorance about global warming. In the movie version the frog is rescued before it is harmed.[16] This use of the story was referenced by writer/director Jon Cooksey in the title of his 2010 comedic documentary How to Boil a Frog.[17]

Law professor and legal commentator Eugene Volokh commented in 2003 that regardless of the behavior of real frogs, the boiling frog story is useful as a metaphor, comparing it to the metaphor of an ostrich with its head in the sand.[6] Economics Nobel laureate and New York Times op-ed writer Paul Krugman used the story as a metaphor in a July 2009 column, while pointing out that real frogs behave differently.[18] Journalist James Fallows has been advocating since 2006 for people to stop retelling the story, describing it as a "stupid canard" and a "myth".[19][20] After Krugman's column appeared, however, he declared "peace on the boiled frog front" and said that using the story is acceptable if the writer points out that it is not literally true.[21]
The problem is: how do you communicate confidence? If it were 30% certain, I might try to relate it to something I do know. For example: MMO drop rates. 30% would seem high! And I honestly don't know whether it is or isn't for a system like this.
I would expect an unreliable source to have the opposite effect. When I use ChatGPT, I find myself thinking critically and questioning everything in a way that I really should be applying to everything else I read.
FWIW Microsoft has Edge installers for Linux and Mac as well, I am using it on Debian
I don't have a question, but I am a Framework 12th gen board owner and I just want to say what a cool company Framework is. For those who haven't seen a framework in real life before, I cannot emphasize enough how easy this thing is to put together or fix. Opening my computer up to replace my hard drive would take maybe 5 minutes at a relaxed pace. I bet it can be done in 60 seconds by someone who is fast at it. That's because of very thoughtful design and really thinking through the ergonomics of opening the computer up. There are little design choices like using case screws that don't come out all the way, so you don't end up spending 5 minutes replacing the SSD and 10 minutes looking for a 2mm screw that dropped on the floor near your desk. The layout of components on the inside is also very elegant. And then when you close the computer back up, it aligns itself with magnets, which just feels great; it's very satisfying, kind of like the magsafe charger design on a macbook. I really appreciate the design of this machine. You've gotten this to a point where anyone who can assemble a piece of Ikea furniture can probably replace their laptop speakers or trackpad. This is no small feat.

And more importantly, I love what you are doing for the industry overall. The idea that I can swap out my display from glossy to matte on a laptop that I've already owned for a while for less than $200 is pretty amazing. I wish you a lot of success.

Did they use chat-gpt to fix the bug?
Users have to sign in with a Microsoft account to use this. Is that the future? You have to sign up to search?

It takes more resources per query to run AI-based search than a search engine.
Everybody offering ChatGPT type systems is either pay per view or heavily throttled. We may be in the last days of free search as the dominant product.

I am one of the people that installed the Bing app because I was told that it would bump me up the waitlist for Bing Chat.

I have not used it at all, and this is a reminder that I should probably uninstall it. I have access to ChatGPT, Bard, Alpaca etc. and there’s very little reason at this point to pretend to use Bing in order to get a crack at Chat.
> Why is fine-tuning done with separate alterations, rather than by mutating the original weights?

The goal of most parameter-efficient methods is to store one gold copy of the original model, and learn minor modifications/additions to the model. The easiest way to think about this is in some kind of deployment setting, where you have 1 capable model and you learn different sets of LoRA weights for different tasks and applications.

The original intent of parameter-efficient methods is to reduce the amount of storage space needed for models (do you really want to keep a whole additional copy of LLaMA for each different task?). A secondary benefit is that because you are fine-tuning a smaller number of parameters, the optimizer states (can take up to 2x the size of your model) are also heavily shrunk, which makes it more economical (memory-wise) to (parameter-efficient) fine-tune your model.
Victims of Communism and the authors of the Black Book of Communism's own figures are debated by experts of the history of Russia and the USSR, especially during Stalin's reign. Many of the deaths that the Black Book of Communism sites were mostly due to the invasion by Nazi Germany (somewhere around 10 or 20 million iirc). The rest are also mostly not direct deaths by the Bolsheviks or the USSR state apparatus (this is including the famines). And the biggest problem with the book is that it often makes up the figures whole cloth.

This isn't saying the USSR or the Bolsheviks weren't horrible, but one must put their crimes against humanity in the proper context and not turn them into super inhuman villains as much as we did with the Nazis (they too were horrible, but sadly they were very much a product of the mainstream values of their time).

Plus, the claim that allowing for social democratic policies like UBI, IP law reform, and the like to come to fruition isn't going to create another Red Terror. If anything, it's the most conservative thing you can do (see German Empire and the institution of Social Insurance by Otto von Bismarck) since it retains capitalism but tames its worse aspects for a time. This is why I roll my eyes at folks like Thiel since they rarely have anything that would be a viable alternative than status quo and lying about how bad things are for many people today. And I say this as someone who's far left of many folks being a Mutualist and an anarchist.

Should deliveries stop, the stocks inside modern superstores might hold out a bit longer than 9 meals, but not much longer.
> The lower class does suffer the most, but unfortunately it is the policies intended to help them

I defy you to find any policies in capitalist countries that are intended mainly to "help the poor." Even the liberals' beloved FDR claimed he was just trying to save capitalism with his social programs.
> (Also: the whole conversation is hilariously non-unique to libraries. 90% of male teens watch porn, and that's probably an under-estimate given that porn is embarrassing/stigmatizing... I promise you there are exactly zero high schoolers in this entire country who have access to this book in their school library who do not also have infinitely easier access to near-infinite amounts of actual porn.)

So should the high school library have a hentai section next to the manga? Hustlers on the magazine rack next to Newsweek? Lots of teens vape, so no one should have a problem with vape juice vending machines in the cafeteria, right? Wouldn't it make sense for the school district to have a PornHub subscription to supplement ProQuest?

The fact that teens do some thing does not at all imply it's appropriate for a school setting.
The difference between this and SaaS is that businesses have been moving their (end user) products to SaaS due to wider broadband availability, as well as greed (read: MRR), but on the LLM side, people are building new products with it, so the incentives are to keep your costs low (or free) so you can make more money once you release.
Surely they can just "sell" their mansion to a holding company, currently owned by them, and at a later date just sell the corp. to the next homeowner?
