>The reason for this is simple. Due to the nature of how studios are run now, you gotta keep making the popular stuff until it ceases to be. Even if it was better to just leave it at one or two seasons. Everything has to be renewed to make evn more money and to offset the endless treadmill of cancelled-after-one-season garbage that Netflix and HBO etc are pumping out.

Getting back to video games, this is what I fear about the talk of The Last of Us Part III; that story is told, move on.
> So, if a company is hiring for a new role they they are not yet paying anyone for, they cannot offer more than 1.15x the government average?

They can: The government average is just the starting point for salary negotiations for the worker - It gives them a leg up on what the industry pays on average.

There's also a hidden information advantage for the employee: If the company in question advertises that average, and the say that it's a new position, then the worst that they can offer is around the industry average, with higher salaries up for grabs. The "Expect" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, as it says "There's probably an 80% chance you're getting a salary within this range.", with new positions advertising as "This is a new position, so there's a higher chance of getting a good salary here."

Not all permutations of meta-analyses can be avoided, but the scope of what's allowed can be trimmed down to the point where it's possible for an applicant to guess what the company wants in terms of salary expectations.
The bottleneck with compute at the edge is (and will be) model size (both app download time and storage space on device).

Stable Diffusion sits at about 2GB for fp16, Whisper Medium at 1.53GB, LLAMA is 120GB.

Sure, Apple can ship an optimized model (<2-4GB) as part of the OS, but what if a capable app maker wants to ship one? Users will not be happy with an app sized at >1GB.
Things like .git are fine I think, because they’re localized one-offs and have more of a reason to be hidden. It’s the home folder’s function of a junk drawer that makes invisible files/folders a problem there.
Does anyone have a good reference on how barriers of various “strengths” are actually implemented on several modern hardware platforms?
Yes, there's no point spending all that time and compute training and inferring ways to do math problems when you could just use a calculator.

The differences between ChatGPT and a conscious human brain are not unsurmountable.

Let's consider a potential future conscious AGI created by advancing from something like ChatGPT.

The human brain is "always on". It's possible to have a digital system be always on, i.e. not just train once and then just respond, but constantly take new input.

The human brain has way more connections/layers than ChatGPT. It's possible to imagine the digital system getting the same number of connections.

The human brain gets real time sensory input. It's possible to add cameras, microphones, etc to that digital system so it gets a constant feed. Maybe even let it process what it saw during the day in a batch training/GC run (we could call that "sleep").

The human brain has a different topology. It's possible to alter the topology of a digital system neural network to mimick that, instead of using the ChatGPT topology. It's not like we're forever doomed to its simpler statistical model. But it's interesting that it already gets very significant emergent intelligence-like properties.

The human brain is self-conscious. This can very well be an emergent property of the above. I think all that's needed is the ability to have some form feedback mechanism.

Interesting that they don't recommend TVOC sensors. I spent a few months trying to get a set of CSS811 sensors to behave. They'd consistently, but erratically, drift upwards into "you should be dead now" territory, returning to believable levels only when fully reset.
Company I write software for had a small subset of customers begin complaining about fractional cents when New Jersey implemented a sales tax of 6.625%. To be fair, company gains and loses on the half cents this caused were in equal measure. But I was commissioned to turn literally everything from UI to database to receipts and invoices and annual reports into thousandths instead of hundreds.

This is a fuckin dog boarding company I work for, not a bank. Because no, you can't screw your customers a half penny at a time... it's on you to fix the accounting and make it right.
The US government invented and funds Tor (more or less).

Along your lines of thought I think it’s obvious “Satoshi” shows up out of nowhere, drops exquisite crypto code that provides an open network that attracts exchange of funds that largely end up being illicit, and then sits on wallets worth significant amounts of money to anyone other than the US government (current Satoshi wallet value is $42b, estimated annual NSA budget alone is $65b and all in it’s likely many multiples of that). The US government can and does spend trillions on war. If it came to that taking down bitcoin is a rounding error.

It has NSA written all over it and given what we already know of the capabilities of the NSA if it wasn’t created by them one way or another (push come to shove) the US government could shut it down at the bat of an eye.

Anything else is bitcoin maxi wishful thinking.

> Saying mind and thinking can exist without any physical basis doesn't make it possible either

It doesn’t need to be made possible because it logically is. (Both approaches are possible, that is not even an argument.) But not only is it possible, I’d argue that in fact it is less contrived because there is one less construct (that “physical basis”) to will into being from nothingness.

> in a very real sense we clearly know quite a lot about the world around us

This is a good illustration of how everything looks like a nail to the hammer of STEM. I am a little sleepy to continue this argument properly, but while we (with our minds) have created some models that enabled us to do some things (which things, notably, effect our minds in every instance) there is no knowing of even the basic fundamentals about the world around us. Physics cannot be a sole tool for achieving such knowledge because questions such as “what actually exists” are outside of its purview—e.g., the idea of mind as the territory and perceived time-space as a map/interface is not at odds with physics (which in this scenario, while not under spotlight anymore, would along with other natural sciences still be recognized as a tool for effecting desired changes in the territory). Sadly, core philosophy, which purview these questions do fall under, is currently on the sidelines.
Well, it does now.

There was a post on Hacker News about ChatGPT plugins by OpenAI 1. The post received 1333 points and 710 comments 1. One user commented that they were wrong about OpenAI missing out on generative AI art wave because they were focused on more high-impact products like ChatGPT, GPT4 and now plugins 1. Another user mentioned that it was clear from the start that OpenAI intended to monetize DALL-E but competitors were able to release viable alternatives before OpenAI could establish a monopoly 1.

Yeah, it is expensive. My other strong consideration is battery life, since DRAM is always running; going from 32 to 64 would be a hit to battery life regardless of workload, but hard to say exactly how big of a hit.

I'm curious, which configuration of the M1 MBP do you have?

Is data encrypted in such a way so that your company cannot read conversations?
I agree with you, except your points about universities. Colleges are funded by government funds - both State and Federal, and hence to that extent SHOULD be held to the same standards of free speech as government agencies. Now if Stanford doesn't receive any public monies, then you'd be correct (in that case it's just a private institution and wouldn't be bound by normal First Amendment issues).

I confess though that I'm trained in Australian law, not US law, and so I'll look into this more.

> The city is run by the mob.

Yeah and they are called police.

> Jon Graham Burge (December 20, 1947 – September 19, 2018) was an American police detective and commander in the Chicago Police Department who was found guilty of having "directly participated in or implicitly approved the torture" of at least 118 people in police custody in order to force false confessions.

Obviously Jon is very dead and quite retired but you can’t really maintain your spot as the most corrupt city in the country without buy-in from police.
Yep, I think that’s basically it.

Your most important point is the distinction between an assumption and a presupposition? I honestly didn’t see the need to challenge that.
There may be a 'newsworthy' or 'artistic' exception here. In some jurisdictions, a photograph (or video) used for editorial purposes or for artistic purposes does not require a model release. Afroman has valid claims on both here.

How is this "proven"? Can you point to some benchmarks that demonstrate this? Everything I've seen thus far has been fairly mediocre/terrible outside of a few cherry-picked prompt/response combinations.

They're awesome technical achievements and will likely improve of course but you're making some very grand statements.
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of polymers was only in its infancy in the late 80s. This was research out of UT Austin that would eventually lead to DTM. Proper L-PBF of metals (fully melted, fully dense parts) didn't come about until the late 90s in the research world. L-PBF of metals wasn't really commercialized until the 2000s.

In any case, this is lightning speed for an industry that still produces something initially designed in the 60s (Boeing 737).
The distrust is not based on evidence. Actual election fraud is incredibly rare in the US, typically things like someone owning property in two states and voting the state ballot in one and federal in the other. Getting two ballots is legal but using both is jail time. Typical solo offender is a conservative white male.
I'm really happy with my HUAWEI keyboard. It has no wasted space and great backlighting and great touch. I like it much better than any other keyboard like Logitech etc. Small but not too small.

It is small enough to carry around but still "full-size". No numeric keypad but I don't really need one.

So if I needed a laptop I imagine I would get one which can flip to just the display in a tent-mode and then I would carry my keyboard separately. I never liked any laptop keyboard much. I could move and position this keyboard optimally which you can not do with a fixed laptop keyboard.

If you think glibc pthreads are not optimal then you could supply a patch and transparently fix literally thousands of applications and tens of millions of users. Otherwise I trust the glibc developers I work with who are extremely smart and focused on performance.
No, you're right. I was glib and mildly judgey. I made a mistake too.

It's a good point but we don't really know how intelligence scales with energy consumption yet. A GPT-8 equivalent might run on a smartphone once it's optimized enough.
Let's not oversimplify, I'm sure some mobsters aren't under such dubious employ as the City of Chicago.
Stanford is not federally or state funded. It is a independent institution and private school. Students may receive governmental subsidies for tuition, but that is common for private institutions which meet minimum requirements.

The educators are not government employees, any more than a private grocery which accepts food vouchers is a governmental entity.

There were quite a few videos on Afroman's youtube channel relying on the security cam footage. I'm perusing these and it seems to me Will You Help Me Repair My Door (the one you linked to) works best as a video, but Lemon Pound Cake (sung to the melody of Under The Boardwalk) seems like the best song. Funny stuff.
He asks a good question. Back before the internet it was pretty normal for some kid now and then to manage to swipe one of his dad’s issues of Playboy or Penthouse and share it with the other kids in their neighborhood.

So we have plenty of experience that says seeing the occasional sexually explicit photo or drawing doesn’t harm kids.

I hope these guys hang in there for the long haul. Because right now it seems to be for enthusiasts since there is only US keyboard and expected shipping i Q3.

I'm happy with my current laptop but at some point I'm going to need a new one so it feels great that there are so many amazing options out there. I just hope that at some point when I need that new laptop I'll be able to order one within a few weeks and my language on the keyboard.
was stable enough and slow
Honestly I observe zero progress in the last 10 years. My first iPhone was 4S. My current iPhone is 8. My use-case is absolutely the same. Calls, SMS, Whatsapp, navigation, books, browser. The same with macs. I boot, open IDE, Terminal and that's about it. Yes, hardware's getting faster (which is compensated by software getting slower). But nothing changed dramatically.

I think that the only thing that changed is adoption of fingerprint reader. Both in iPhone 8 and in mac.

AI might be that thing that could tremendously change my usage pattern. But it should be as smart as human assistant. GPT4-level intelligence might have the necessary power for that.
Don't pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel and all that.
Yeah, although, I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft's default config file locations either.

Some examples:

- PowerShell Core's default profile is in $HOME\Documents\PowerShell -- or if you have OneDrive enabled, $HOME\OneDrive\Documents\PowerShell.

- Windows Terminal is $HOME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json.

I can feel pretty confident assuming that if Microsoft can place their power users' config files for Microsoft's Terminal and Microsoft's primary shell in seemingly unrelated locations and not get huge complaints, I would imagine that most Windows users are probably not people who would ridicule Microsoft for placing an XML file in their home directory.

EDIT: I used these examples specifically, because a Terminal Emulator and shell profile are the exact kind of apps you would store configs for in a dotfiles repo.
I agree with what you’re saying but not the reason. The actions of the police don’t grant Afroman any additional rights. He had the right (at least to the music video) regardless of whether the police were right or wrong.

I believe the reason he has a right to publish this work is because he is not profiting from their likeness. He is profiting from his work of criticism. (Edit: a sibling comment points out that Ohio exempts audiovisual and political works)

Also, as a public servant in official duty, in a place where they found themselves likely to be recorded, they had no reasonable expectation of privacy.
You’d almost want to pair the session with some kind of hardware like the TPM or Secure Enclave to prevent it being transferable.

The videos were being deleted while the scam stream was still running. Presumably by the attackers.
Maybe to ensure that the country is evenly developed, which would make housing more affordable across the entire country. The US is not even that bad - unlike many other countries, it doesn't have a true primate city[1] on a national level. I'm thinking of places like England, where the privileged areas of London (and the Home Counties), Oxford, and Cambridge are the only place to earn a decent salary, but have extortionate housing costs, while the rest of the country has much lower housing costs but such lower wages that people are pushed to migrate into the privileged areas, pushing housing costs there even higher. Densifying the cities would help to some extent, but construction tends to cost a lot more in these cities, and not entirely due to zoning, planning permissions, etc.

There is some funny stuff about this, the videos Afroman made were pretty great, but the dark side is how much this reveals about police impunity. They know filing a case like this can only shed more light on their actions. They just don't care.

I've been hearing "Fortnite is dying" for years now and it reverberated around many other games as well like World of Warcraft. What does "dying" mean in terms of video games, is it significant drops of player numbers and if so, where is the proof? Perhaps it's that slowly overtime players have left, potentially, but how many?

Yes Fortnite doesn't have the craze that it had before, but it was absolutely massive, but that doesn't mean its dying.

Afterall, the latest Chapter has given us the newest version of the Unreal engine which does look Unreal and we got it for free without buying a new game. Which IMO grants more attention.
