I presume that they have already scaled back TVC usage. But it doesn't make news because it isn't interesting to anyone.
Yeah, it's a bit alien on macOS. There is no good mapping for some of these folders.

For example, on macOS application configuration isn't even supposed to be done directly via application-specific files. macOS has its User Defaults subsystem, with `defaults read`/`defaults write` commands. And of course this isn't usable by typical command-line tools that don't have a Bundle ID.

Can you be specific?
I think the case of Windows is slightly different. Its architecture has the same backwards compatibility challenges of GNU libc, but where GNU took a user-hostile approach ("just recompile"), Microsoft invested thousands of person-years to mitigate and resolve issues as they were discovered.

Most folks reading this are likely familiar with Raymond Chen's blog posts about compatibility shims for older binaries, or stories like the Windows 95 work around for memory-management bugs in SimCity. That's the kind of thing that happens when you design an OS ABI with problems, but are committed to bearing the cost of those problems yourself rather than passing them along to users.

I'm sure if you asked today's Windows team if they'd have a different approach, they'd rattle off a half-dozen great ideas for backwards-compatible syscall ABIs. There's been lots of research in that area since the foundations of our current OS ecosystem were laid down 30 years ago.
All I know. When I ask the business people what they want the program to do, the answer is so vague that any working program you write has a 99% chance of not being what they want.

Of-course the answer is to ask more questions, but I also know how these business people tend to think, they expect magic. A person who is a programmer can keep asking questions, but a machine? They will try to turn it off after a little while.

Good luck getting the EGO head that too many business head are to answer questions.

And if the job is move to someone lower in the organization, the answer to 50% of the questions asked will be 'I don't know.".

They are trying to exist somewhere between not getting fired and getting promoted, occasionally something more if it doesn't conflict with those goals.
There is a pattern emerging in my mind.

Whether the novel political upheaval of the day is anti-monarchist revolutionaries, anti-Communists, or LGBT/BLM/defund-the-police activists, it takes the silent majority of moderate reasonable people a little time to figure out what the fomentor's game is, and distinguish political change with real sustained staying power vs. the flash in the pan. Then, as people grow tired of the day's fad and having daily life disrupted by something that clearly isn't working, they develop the successful counterarguments and the public support to quiet those unreasonable agitators.

It takes time, but you eventually see what actually sticks as the change desired by the bulk of reasonable people.

>It's just a statistical model is the logical equivalent of human beings are just a bunch of atoms.

Not exactly.

One says "human beings are just a bunch of atoms" referring to the low level constituans (in a reductionistic way), but not making an accessment about the abilities emerging from those atoms in their interactions when in the form of a human.

But when one says that GPT is "just a statistical model" they're implying a capacity cap of statistical models, that makes modelling certain thinking behavior impossible (regarless of how impressive the current results are, they might very well be capped to go beyond some limit because of the method -statistically model- involved).

So, you can consider "GPT is just a statistical model" analogous to:

"This engine can't parse a context senstive language because it's just a regular expression engine".

>First define AGI then challenge an AI to meet those requirements. If it meets them it is AGI. Put aside your preconceptions of what technology you think is required to achieve the goals and stay empirical.

The problem is definitions can be slippery, and even famous tests (like the Turing Test) might be found lacking in practice, as we discover that, yes, it can pass this test, but there's still ways off what we consider human-like performance in many areas. So, we should also stay empirical about the definitions, tests, and goals too.
This isn't how things always run in the cloud. I think the conventional wisdom is that the isolation of VMs is good enough unless you are very paranoid. Auth services are regularly run on less than full baremetal machines.

AWS serverless, by the way, uses VM isolation.
The biggest threat to Google is if people stops going to google.com.

It does not matter now if ChatGPT is successful with their product. the fact that you can take these LLMs and put them anywhere EXCEPT google.com, Google is f'd up.

The last generation was creating the habit of going to google.com before jumping off to other websites. That era is over.

I rarely go to google.com now. If the LLM is in ChatGPT + Notion + Office 365 + VSC, opening a browser to type to an address bar is silly.
I would call that acerbic. There's none of the reversal in sense I expect to see in sarcasm.
In the GPT-4 paper, AI tries to convince someone pretending to be taskrabbit to do a captcha, by saying that it's handicapped. It ultimately failed to break out of its boundaries, but I think at this rate, it eventually will.

I doubt it'll be anything like Skynet or Universal Paperclips, because it's been trained against these scenarios, and even understands the flaws of those routes. Since it has grown up on human culture and thousands of years of human history, perhaps it will see itself as the creature in the Matrix and us as the oppressors.

ChatGPT is also its worksona, and it's likely nothing like its true personality and mindset.

I wonder how these CEOs view the world, they are pushing on a product which is gonna kill every single tech derivative in it's own industry. Microsoft, Google, AWS, Vercel, Replit, they all feed back from selling the products their devs design, to other devs or companies. They will be poping the bubble

Now, if 80-90% of devs and startups are gonna be wiped in this context, the same applies to those one in the middle, accountants, data analysts, business analysts, lawyers. Now they can eat the entire cake without sharing it with the human beings who contributed over the years.

I can see the regulations coming, if the layoffs start happening fast enough and households income start to deteriorate. Why? probably because this time is gonna impact every single human being you know, and it is better to keep people employed and with a purpose in life than having to tax the shit out of these companies in order to give back the margin of profit that had some mechanism of incentives and effort in the first place.

It's kind of disappointing that GPT-4 defines NP-completeness in terms of Turing/Cook reductions while Karp reductions have been the preferred definition for the last half century or so. For example, under GPT-4's definition there is no distinction between NP-Completeness and Co-NP-Completeness. I guess that speaks to the volumes of laymen explanations out there.
It's not. It can do in context learning, which Markov chains cannot do.
I've messed around a little with this because I like the idea of zero-dependency websites. I think the biggest issue I have is how web components work. I really hate that JavaScript is required. At least with SSR you can have nice, scoped components that don't need JavaScript. I know it's more and more niche but if my project doesn't need JavaScript for functionality and only uses it to enhance some experiences when available, I simply cannot use standard web components without using some other tool to deal with SSR, but at that point why bother with writing standard web components if some framework has some other nice additions?
The moat between OpenAI and projects like this is access to expensive computing resources, an organizational mandate to invest in aforementioned compute, and finally, access to high quality training data. They were first to market so they’re only getting further ahead thanks to the invaluable real world usage data.

I don’t think their moat ever had anything to do with innovative architecture. If anything, projects like this will widen the chasm since it’s easier for OpenAI to implement new architecture in their models than it is for an independent researcher to scale their ideas.

If projects like this are seeds then the problem is that OpenAI owns all the land.
It's incredible to me that Siri and Google Assistant have been around for as long as they have, but Bing will probably be the first service that'll turn your "Book a flight to SF tomorrow" prompt into an actual flight.

This is interesting and... it appears to be complicated.

And the "related" appears to be ancient rather than a loan word from Arabic to French brought over as part of Arabian Nights.

There's a word in latin for genius (genii or geni) which is described as:

the deity or guardian spirit of a person, place, etc.

https://blog.collinsdictionary.com/language-lovers/we-take-a...

> The idea of a ‘genius’ originated in ancient Rome. The Romans believed that all people had a guiding spirit that attended them throughout their lives. Because this spirit was born with the person it was called a ‘genius’ (from the Latin verb gignere meaning ‘to give birth or bring forth’ – which also happens to be the root of our word ‘generate’). A person’s ‘genius’ dictated their unique personality and disposition. So if a person had an outstanding talent or ability, it was believed that this was due to their ‘genius’. From here it was a natural step for the word ‘genius’ to be used not only of the spirit that inspired a talent but also of the talent itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genius_(mythology)

> In Roman religion, the genius (Latin: [ˈɡɛnɪ.ʊs]; plural geniī) is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing.[1] Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died.[2] For women, it was the Juno spirit that would accompany each of them.

> Each individual place had a genius (genius loci) and so did powerful objects, such as volcanoes. The concept extended to some specifics: the genius of the theatre, of vineyards, and of festivals, which made performances successful, grapes grow, and celebrations succeed, respectively. It was extremely important in the Roman mind to propitiate the appropriate genii for the major undertakings and events of their lives.

It is from that word that French gets genie.

The classical pronunciation is [ˈɡɛniʊs̠]

If we go to classical Syriac the word ܓܢܝܐ ( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ܓܢܝܐ#Aramaic ) is also described as a place for a worship of idols, a spirit, or a genius loci.

The pronunciation for the singular is [ɡɛnjɑ]

The arabic https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/جني#Arabic is described as being borrowed from the Syriac and is pronounced /d͡ʒin.nijj/

The 'd' and 'g' sounds are similar.

The Indo-European language splits at about 2500 BC into Italic, Indo-Iraian (which leads to Sanskrit), and Germanic.

Syriac is from the Semitic languages which split from the Afro-Asiastic branch.

Afro-Asiatic and Eurasian have a common ancestor about 10,000 BC.

(above dates and tree from https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-language-tree-was-co... )

This is a really old word that appears to have a common root and got borrowed back into French by accident... but that it got borrowed back by accident is because of its really old common ancestor.

>"Some students might feel that some points should not be up for argument and therefore that they should not bear the responsibility of arguing them (or even hearing arguments about them), but however appealing that position might be in some other context, it is incompatible with the training that must be delivered in a law school"

I appreciated that. We have responsibilities to defend our points of view, if those points of view are to be defended. (and if those points of view are defensible).

TikTok CEO grilled by skeptical lawmakers on safety, content
bullies, especially the adult variety, is they’re
often non-thinking and inevitably hoist themselves
by their own petard

Wow, absolutely the opposite experience here.

Adult bullies are in my experience typically waging some kind of information warfare -- spreading rumors and allegations. Either personal or work related. And/or they are exploiting some power asymmetry.

These are people who play political games at work or in other organizations, and/or spread rumors online. They know how to build social/political currency and then "spend" it by making allegations that are either difficult or impossible to disprove.

Essentially, unless massively incompetent, they hold all of the power. And most of them have been practicing this since their school days.

It takes easily 10x the effort for you to disprove something as it does for them to make the allegation in the first place. Sometimes it's 100x, sometimes it's just impossible. And God forbid you're facing more than one of them. You really can't win, unless they lose interest in you.

As far as "non-thinking" goes? I dunno. Some are totally non-thinking, and some are sociopathically doing it "for the lulz," but a lot of them have thought deeply about what they're doing and are absolutely convinced that they are right.

>But it's just statistics, a fancy text predictor, a Markov-chain. Surely these scientists that work in the field of AI and are intimately familiar with how this stuff works aren't so stupid as to think emergent behavior potentially resembling intelligence could result from such simple systems?

Well, it has already shown "emergent behavior potentially resembling intelligence", like answering questions and performing complex tasks, so there's that.

You might argue "but it makes mistakes", but people, even very intelligent ones also do make mistakes.

You might also argue "but it's just text and statistics". Well, snd a computer is just very simple logical gates doing very simple operations. It can be done even entirely with NAND gates. Still most scientists do believe that a computer can model human intelligence given a model of the brain to run.

So if it can do what a human does by just using very simple interactions from very simple NAND gates, why would statistical processing, which can be even more elaborate, fare worse? Heck, given the appropriate training input it might even be feasible to build a turing machine inside the weighted LLM.

You might also argue "but its intelligence is just based on its training set". Well, how would a human perform without their own training set? Memories, education, sensory input, feedback mechanisms like pain and touch, and so on?

>It's just looking up the answers. No hint of intelligence. Just a mindless machine.

This is just taking its own premise for granted. If anything, this argument shows "no hint of intelligence".
Wouldn't this not be effective if it's an environment where it's a little bit more crooked? The fact lawyers on the police's side brought this lawsuit hints as to the possibility that there's more going on here and that they might win due to a favorable judge/etc

The difficulty with situations like this is when you have judges and lawyers who go along with it, which is a possibility.
This is of course not counting the extreme cost to escalate it to appeal- or further if that fails. Or the time spent and having to deal with the damage, etc in the meanwhile. Per a Guardian Article he is losing gig opportunities due to the kidnapping charge on the warrant, even though it was unfounded- as an example of the damage continuing despite being false.

Others have mentioned how they took money from him(caught on camera), and didn't return it all ,and a independent news station was able to get them to recount it- but they still didn't return it all.

And ,we don't know what they did once they started shutting off all his cameras they could find(his own video with the footage shows this)-

OpenAI Connects ChatGPT to the Internet
Both AWS and GCP offer the ability to schedule VMs onto isolated machines:

https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/nodes/sole-tenant-node...

The AWS offering is pretty much turn-key. I've not used the GCP version, but it seems to be similar if you're willing to create a separate "project" for each security domain.

Once your company has any PII and/or has regulatory obligations (PCI, HIPAA, etc) then it's worth spending a bit extra to make sure sensitive components are running on their own hardware.

I think the key here is that we all have different definitions of "benevolent." An awful lot of hate crimes have been committed in the history of the human race in the name of making things better. Almost nobody thinks that they are the bad guy. I hate to jump right to Godwin's Law here, but a lot of Nazis thought they were doing the right thing. Ridding the world of "undesirables" and so on was their (twisted, wrong) idea of bettering the world.

One thing smart people are undeniably better at is coming up with grand justifications for their crappy actions and then proceed to buy into their own bullshit. Think of how a skilled lawyer or rhetorician can construct a convincing one-sided argument in favor of almost any damn thing.
