I think it's a bit of both. There is a real organization, with real interests, that are at this point mostly being held together by the desire to no longer be dominated by the US-centric dollar-based system. If the US fades, this unifying principle will disappear over time, and the unity of this organization would as well. Already some of what it has accomplished, to some great fanfare in certain places, strikes me as being nothing more, and nothing less, than that.

It isn't as unified as some would like to present, and it isn't something that the existing world powers should just ignore as irrelevant. It's complicated. It's a complicated time in world history, as transitions are.
A lot of them are kids, students, etc. Gamers are a major demographic for this stuff.
The definition of super-intelligent AGI seems arbitrary. GPT-4 destroys humans on the sheer volume and breadth of knowledge that it has. You could very reasonably say that that's super-intelligent.
Will wealthier people access better AIs?
Today, billionaires and middle-class everyday people use the same phones. Will that be the case with AIs?
They're dynamically scaled and something must be broken. If you inspect source you can find the raw images, here's a few:

EDIT: Looks like it scores better with less training - up until it matches GPT-J/Pythia/OPT and doesn't appear to have much benefit. It maybe scores slightly better then GPT-J which is pretty "eh", I'm not sure if GPT-J level performance is really useful for anything? NeoX 20B outperforms it in everything if you don't care about the amount of training needed.

Does the better performance for less training matter if that benefit only applies when it's only performing a lot worse then GPT-J? It appears to lose it's scaling benefits before the performance is interesting enough to matter?
I'd say stop thinking in terms of employment. When you are 100x more productive, you won't need to be a cog in someone else's machine to build products end to end. There'll be less value for the founder types who assemble capital, teams, and middle management to coordinate them. Think of the professions and trades where people run their own practice: doctors, lawyers, accountants, plumbers and electricians. Once sufficiently skilled, they can strike off on their own and deliver value directly to customers. Sometimes with the help of apprentices and trainees. There are a lot of problems to solve today where the cost of software is too high to be practical.

When our tools get so good that our employers don't need us, we won't need them. In a market where the engineers are competing with the manager class whose core skill is politics and bullshit, who would you bet on long term?
here is one I used for teaching girl scouts to code:

chat gpt build me a pong program using Ruby2D. It built one but it had some problems

The ball goes through the paddle, please fix that. Then it wrote a collision detection routine for the paddle.

The game has no way to restart. Write code that restarts the game with the space bar. It then did that

Have the game keep score and have the game end at 11 points.

etc

For marketing I did something like

tell me the top problems that CIOs of companies that lease equipment run into with their leasing automation software.

It gave me a relatively generic list.

Which ones of these do CIOs report is the most important.

Integrations

Can you elaborate on the top software that that leasing automation software needs to integrate with. It gave specific software.

etc
I guess it's something. It still goes to show how far open models are behind the proprietary SOTA.
> The main concern voiced is manipulation of content by the CCP

in what way has the content being manipulated?
Recumbent bicycles in particular.
There are very few websites that I love and might trust to not abuse notifications, and HN is probably one of them. Still, I only want an inbox or page showing unread messages that I can check at my own initiative rather than something that will pop-up or otherwise try to get my attention when I'm clearly choosing to look at or do something else. Only my wife and maybe my boss should be able to do that.
Motte and Bailey. This is just vibes
So if I send a message like "did you finish the essay about weed use?" or "what about going to Amsterdam next month so we can smoke weed" (which are perfectly legal) they will block it?

Good that no one uses those crappy SMS services and feed those crap carriers more data.
Paypal is also registered as a bank in the EU (in Luxembourg), and as such is liable as a bank for such things. I just don't think someone bothered to take them to court over it.
Try just leaning before steering. Countersteering is not required.
I don't know they just look like some advanced chatbots to me that we had like 20 years ago except improved
>“Users based in the UK will be contacted by the National Crime Agency or police and warned about engaging in cyber crime."

Do people really give they actual contact details to do crimey activities ?
I'm not a cybercriminal so I don't know about these sites. But if I had to do something illegal, I wouldn't use my actual name.

It seems more like how you set someone up. And they release the news about this site just days before the 1st of April. Why ?
Don’t take this personally, but I don’t think you’ve thought too hard about what you can do with this technology. For instance, you could create audiobooks for every book ever published. You can change scripts for movies after shooting has already happened. Indie game developers can now afford high quality voices in their games. Even AAA games like The Elder Scrolls can vastly expand their in-game voice variety. I think it’s amazing.
There are several good 3rd party reddit apps available. RIF on android is my choice.
What law are they complying with here?
Gun advocates tend to add insult to injury by vilifying gun violence victims and their families. I suppose its because those victims manifest the inconvenient truth that the cost of America's gun obsession is paid with the blood of innocents.

So if you're a gun owner, please be sure to thank those victims and donate to their families. They died so that you can own your loud shiny tools of effortless assassination.
Instead you have million dollar hovels surrounded by $20 tents.
can confirm, all of my chegg answers have been gpt3.5 with some seldomly being gpt4.
Based on my experience, I believe that's not true. You counter-steer through the turn or your momentum would push the bicycle-rider system upright (centrifugal effect). Pointing the front wheel in the direction of the turn will initiate countersteer in the other direction (i.e., getting out of the turn). (I ride bikes most days of the year, if that helps.)
One often forgotten problem is the poor security of carriers. If they have all your financial details for credit purposes they will be leaked.
At least it's worth listening to a variety of points of view. Yes, Cenk is annoying, but there are not so many far-left news sources available in the US these days.

Well, there is this chart:

Friendly reminder: tips are not paid to an employer, they are paid directly to the employee. An employer cannot withhold tips in any circumstance because tips are not their property. Withholding tips is explicitly theft.
> I imagine this is due to some dispute with Mastercard on their fees for credit cards

Costco has long had an official credit card and only allowed cards of that brand (whether theirs or not), for a long time it was Amex not Visa.

> Visa probably gives Costco a steep discount on fees.

Right; their single-card-brand partnership agreement is a tool for getting lower credit card processing fees.
I mean this in a friendly, productive manner: I also once didn't see the issue with the sentence as you stated it. Regardless of intent, the common reading of your sentence is that her being a woman has a specific significance, and especially because "woman" is a very slight dog whistle when compared to "lady" or "gal". Imagine saying "This black person..." as an extreme and hyperbolic comparison. It's clearly drawing attention to skin color. While your sentence is nowhere nearly that intense, there's clearly a spectrum and gray area.

You could have easily said "this person" or "this recruiter" or "the subject of this article"
Noob to ML in practice. These models containing weights, all of them, do they have a standard file/binary format?
You can imbue an LLM with agency. Actual "do whatever you want" agency. It's not hard. In fact it's already being done in a few projects.

You can embody an LLM too. This too is not hard. Cost is probably the most prohibitive thing.
They probably monitored the communities that talk about these services and figured that suspicions were growing. Also if you say that there are more services out there, then it makes people think twice.
Or was given questions to ask and not coached on how to ask those questions when the executive predictably waved it away.

"Are you sending any info back to your servers about what else is on the local network" would have been a perfect question, with a possibly worrying answer, but now instead everyone is laughing about "hur dur does tiktok use wifi" and using a dumb person being dumb to handwave away legitimate concerns.
True, China's plans for Taiwan are hardly a secret. I was speaking about the larger situation, though, not just Taiwan.
I suspect that this is the real answer.
> Note that a `Handle` can escape from `withFile`

Yes, this is true. If someone really wanted they could write a version that didn't using an ST-like type variable trick. I guess it hasn't been considered sufficiently necessary.
I got the lesson of original sin from church, and there's no telling how much my parents spent to teach me that - 10% of your income over a lifetime really adds up I bet. I've never seen or talked to god, but I've certainly seen the police beat the shit out of black people. To be fair, I've seen them beat the shit out of all races, but it does seem to land disproportionately on the darker skinned.
over time it will be able to play the songs and the exact location in the songs. You can ask for references now and it hasnt worked well.
I see, so America should block and filter content its government judges to be adversarial. Shall we call it the great freedom firewall?
>The five stages of grief.

You're right but not in the way you think. Russia is desperate to prove they aren't isolated internationally.

Going to actually link to this comment in my footnote, I loved that snippet from his interview
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Development_Bank

Well, it's on downgrade, but at least it's quite a bit smaller than SVB?

What links them together other than corruption? It looks like a money grab.
Source? From my understanding, tiktok leaves the algorithm highly unconstrained in figuring out what the user wants, compared to its domestic counterpart. Yes, this alone might end up bad, but any restrictions would be exactly the political nightmare we complain about
Oh it gets better than that, I walked into the store and asked to buy a MacBook Air.

The first clerk disappears, and some kid who is roughly 19 starts lecturing me about how much better the pro is. I politely respond, I just want to buy the Air.

He insists, 'well , do you want to make music '. I respond, 'please sell me the Air'. At this point he's not budging. I ask a final time, and ask why are you making this interaction so difficult.

Him: 'well you're making it difficult'.

I walk out and go to Best Buy. At Best Buy I simply asked to buy an Air, and I was out in 5 minutes.

Now truth be told, if the kid would have told me he needs to push a certain number of pros per month, I might have said okay and brought one. But instead he decided to insult me, I even explained that as a software engineer I knew exactly what I was talking about. I shouldn't need to explain anything when I'm trying to buy a product, it's none of your business if I prefer an M1 air because I routinely dropped my laptops. If it's a gift for someone else, or in reality it does the job I need it to do.

I'm legitimately never going into an Apple store again after this.
Indeed but this is zero-shot performance. Fine-tuning for a task should get you pretty good results. I'm interested in seeing the results of an Alpaca method against this Cerebras 13B model.
Hey there fellow bikers!

I've been having some trouble adjusting the tension in my spokes lately. It seems like no matter how much I try, I just can't seem to get it right. Does anyone have any tips or tricks they could share with me?

On a related note, I've been wondering about the differences between mountain bikes and road bikes. One thing I've noticed is that when you take a sharp turn on a mountain bike, you tend to move the bike away from your body. But on a road bike, you maintain that alignment with your body and the frame. It's fascinating how these small differences can have such a big impact on the way we ride.

What do you all think? Have you noticed any other differences between these two types of bikes? Let's chat and share our experiences!
?

You forgot Xi publicly escorted someone out to show his dominance?

Ps. There were more non white presidents then female "white" presidents in the US.

Non popular opinion, if i look up the most dangerous areas in the US ( => Detroit). It is a mostly non-white area. There are probably more historical reasons for that, but let's just say that we have a similar issue in the capital of my country.

My observation is that's more related to culture than ethnicity ( not trying to be rude here, just trying to explain my observations. My observations are not facts, feel free to give counter arguments).
In other words, they’re actually incentivized to help make LLMs as accessible as possible, rather than try to keep them locked up to hide them from competitors.

Which makes me wonder if Nvidia is doing anything with LLMs too?
The trademark infringement claims are serious. Metal is more than just 3d graphics framework. It is a general purpose parallel computing framework, and this application would very much fall within the purview of its trademark.
E.g. if you were going to implement an embedding based classifier on iOS/MacOS you would most likely use compute shaders written in Metal.
The fact that the website styles are almost identical down the color palette doesn't help the case:

It's augmenting software developers in a way that's badly needed. I personally hope it stays that way, but people are always pushing the limits and there's still a lot of improvements that could be made to these systems.
i wouldn't say it's working out their entire profit model, i'd say it's applying basic logic

if this, then that

if "employees taking time off without any notice (sick time) disrupts the schedule/store operations", then "the store will suffer financially"

if "the store suffers financially", then "the loss needs to be made up elsewhere in order to be offset"

if "the loss needs to be made up elsewhere", then "the money needs to come from somewhere"

if "the money to offset the loss needs to come from somewhere", then "prices need to be increased"

therefore, in order for ALL workers to be allowed to take SOME sick time off (time off without much notice) without retribution, prices need to be increased even further

if prices need to be increased even further, you might alienate away even more of your existing or potential customer base (prices already very high for what they offer relative to their competition)

if you alienate away more customers, you lose money

therefore, you're asking the business to lose money at the expense of their dispensable/replaceable entry level jobs. i don't mean for that to sound as cold and heartless and immoral and rude as it does. i'm not some high level executive who only thinks in terms of MBA. i'm just trying to show perspective to both sides of the bargaining equation. imagine if the entire staff could call out sick whenever they wanted without consequence twice a week. the store would have to close down, wouldn't it? where's the balance?

is the balance supposed to be exactly where it is now? you'd argue it needs to be more in favor of the worker, but you also admit to not putting much effort/thought into thinking of the business side, becasue you're arguing it's already too much in favor of the business side
I always wonder what is superintelligence understanding there is not a sole definition or science fiction approach.

Just brainstorming, I think superintelligence could be showing intelligence from more than one brain. For example, an AGI that discovers math theorems discovered by more than one mathematician in different ages. Another could be inferring things that humanity cannot do in any time.

More ideas?
I'd mostly agree with this analysis. I don't see them holding together absent the unipolar NATO-dominated world giving them common ground, as they're mainly composed of the top representative states of all three major non-NATO blocs from the Cold War (Soviet, Maoist, and "3rd world" movement) and there's a reason those three groups weren't all pals back then.

1. If it requires you to enter a code from another device on an older iPad, it tells you to enter your password + MFA code in the password field.

2. You can manually go in and download “the last compatible version”

3. Netflix is usually good about supporting old devices. Amazon disabled an older auth protocol. Apple TV+ videos can be accessed via the web (tv.apple.com). While Safari seems to always redirect you to the app, Chrome for iOS doesn’t.
I think it's fair to say capitalism and AI is a train wreck waiting to happen.
There are automations similar to MacOS. On the 4th time you're deep into a task and just click OK in the box ...
> that's the thing that causes the most cognitive dissonance.

The road is literally being paved and is being done so iteratively. I'm ok with that as that is a standard way to develop things over time.

> why not trust entities that have had hundreds of years to work out the kinks?

Simple. Because they are not acting in your best interest. We've been sold on the idea that money is scary and we shouldn't touch it ourselves. We should put it into 401k's and forget about it until we retire. We should 'trust' people who know these complicated finance things better than us. It is a self fulfilling prophecy.
The production of quality steel isnt thousands of years old.

Yeah they could produce small items - but to make the steel of the quality needed for bicycles is pretty new - the past 150-200 years with the Bessemer process
Besides entrapment, I could imagine that they do genuinely want to increase awareness that it's illegal (meh, "in the majority of countries"). It's more about discouraging people from using such services so they're likely not looking to prosecute the, so far, several thousand people who have tried to sign up for the services.
You wouldn't actively listening, and that's why generated muzak would be okay. "The acoustic equivalent of a screensaver", as someone in the thread called it. The idea that classical performances would be replace human composers in concert context is quite ridiculous. Maybe as a novelty, once, but that's all.
I read somewhere (lost to the fickle beasts of memory and time, of course) that rowing and the like is not particularly effective, precisely because it requires big, slow movements against resistance, which the human body is not that efficient at[1]. What we are efficient at is quick, light, repetitive movements – like pedaling with the proper gear selected. This is why Ivan Illich phrased it as the bicycle being "the perfect transducer to match man's metabolic energy to the impedance of locomotion".

[1]: This is also why rowing and weightlifting are such a good type of exercise to get stronger, and why bicycling requires that you put in a lot of hours to get stronger from it.
I wonder if you really mean that or if you haven't used gpt4 or bing chat enough
Perhaps more carbon efficient, but 15x less energy efficient:

> Biking takes around 25 kcal/km [iii] above basal metabolism, which is equivalent to .11 MJ/km. A typical car in the US gets 25 mpg, or 9.5L/100 km, which is equivalent to 3.3 MJ/km. The Toyota Prius takes only 5 L/100km, or 1.7 MJ/km. So a typical car takes 30x more energy per kilometer than biking, and a Prius takes 15x more. This is what we expect given how much heavier cars are than bikes.
When you say "they are heavily in bed with government", can you articulate what you mean?

Are you saying that the US government can compel these companies to take certain actions in the same way that the Chinese government can?
Like, as in, being able to force the company to give up all of its users' private details?
Or being able to force the company to inject malware into their software?
The thing you gotta remember about this is that YC etc are Venture Capitalists. They're a subset of the funding industry that is primary concerned with funding extreme long-shots that have a small chance of becoming massively and wildly successful. They're not out to build stable businesses or to make the world a better place (per se), they're out to find the unicorns and get in on them early in hopes of wild profits, enough to outshine all of the attempts that fail dismally. Of course they want the founders to be like that, that's the entire purpose of their operation.
I also imagine that it's harder for VAC to detect cheats in those relatively old operating systems. I know for some hacks you have to run certain versions of windows with known vulnerabilities to evade detection.
> poisoning the minds of people using it here in US

in what way is tiktok poisoning the minds of people?
That's the post PR story.

And in a few years, there will be no documents stating anything wrong about Gates, only the praises.
Would it be a problem for a US bank?
I am confused by your questions, honestly. Maybe my English skills are lacking, but could you clarify?

Here:

- Is it worth losing access to US social media to reduce the influence of the US government?

- Is it worth losing access to TikTok to reduce the influence of the CCP?

Are these the questions your are asking? I really want to understand your comment because I think the same as the parent commenter. And even though I don't understand what you're try saying, it seems like they are important questions I should ask myself.
I think he's pointing out that BRICS seems to be less strategic than the media makes it out to be. Looking at the topics in their summits they seem to be more of a debate group, but I've only known about them for the past 15 min.

> This feels like a lot of reality-denial. Or copium at best...

You should defend your point otherwise it just sounds like your feelings were hurt as well.
It sounds like you see banning TikTok as rational out of a sense of reciprocity with the application's country or origin. Is that the operating principle?
If you have to ask, you can't afford it!

Mostly teasing but my guess would be $500k+ since they'll likely price it so that it is the same $ as the equivalent NVIDIA cluster (or very close to it).
Yeah, like go look at the pro-Western Wikipedia article on BRICS which clearly states it's real and has had a summit. The original comment is just plainly false.
Then again, I've never had a problem on Amazon across hundreds of purchases. I don't think either of our experiences proves anything.
