Since I've been seeing this wild fantasy being bandied about for a while now, I have to point out that, if you had "AI" that could train "AI", you wouldn't need to train any more "AI". Because at that point, there would be nothing to gain.

Suppose you have a text classifier that can produce text classifications just as good as those of human annotators, so that you could use it to train other text classifiers. At that point, why would you need to train other text classifiers? What changes to predictive accuracy would you expect to achieve?

Or suppose you had a language model that could produce language just as well as humans (not just in terms of grammaticality, but also in terms of making sense, I guess?). At that point, why would you need to use the text generated by that language model to train another language model? What kind of changes in the quality of the new model's generated text would you expect to see?

Same goes for image classifiers, and any other classifiers, or generative models you may care to consider.

Note that both language models and image classifiers have been "beating" human performance in benchmarks for a while now, and still they are not used to train other classifiers. And the reason for that is that it doesn't make sense: the ground truth is always the decisions made by humans. There is nothing in machine learning theory or practice that says that a classifier can perform better than whatever process originally labelled its data. If it looks like it does, it's because there's something wrong with the methodology (i.e. overfitting, bad benchmarks, some other kind of nonsense).
Oracle basically murdered a ton of Sun open-source projects overnight.

Is IBM really doing that to Red Hat, or just suffocating it slowly the way that happens in many acquisitions?
Because these scripts were developed while societies transitioned from oral tradition to literacy. It's only modern literate language that brings with it an aura of exactitude. Oral tradition allows for more ambiguity and alternate interpretation, and arabic and hebrew developed in a way that suppored that expectation of flexibility and ambiguity through a triple of consonants having many possible meanings.
https://regex.inginf.units.it/ only needed 5 seconds to generate /(?<=Rd )\d++/ when I highlighted 9856, 10190, 9753 and 8883.

https://regex.ai/ was stuck with /9856|10190|9753|8883/ and confidently emitted /\d{4}/ as an alternative.

>Classical music often involves multiple musicians recording works that have been recorded many times before and are referred to by different names.

All of those things are true in the Polka world.

And of course all of those things could be a mode in a "classical genre section" of the standard music app (and similar for polka, latin, folk, and other cases where the same things hold).

Though my comment wasn't about the implementation, but about the niche-ness of it. Meanwhile major features awaited by huge customer bases still play the sound of crickets...
My argument is that market forces have done a brilliant job in marshalling far-flung and diverse interests to optimize for the sum total of our self-interests.

For instance, I'm using this device for fun and profit and it was made by actual communists on the other side of the planet.

People until recently have not thought of the ecology as being in their personal interest in a direct and concrete way, only a vague and diffused good. Tragedy of the commons and all that.

But that's changed because now being green can be cheaper (carbon tax, cheap solar panels, other tech progress) and cool.

The market deals with all long-term significant problems this way - leave it until it's urgent, then absolutely smash it. This isn't perfect but it's probably the only way to get 8 billion decision-makers to coordinate on anything.
You always have to be careful for averages kgCO2/unit of some product where there are multiple ways to produce the stuff.

To take beef for example (since it usually tops the kgCO2/unit food charts) if we just replaced the millions of bisons exterminated in the USA:

https://theconversation.com/historical-photo-of-mountain-of-...

(30-60 millions bisons to ... about 500).

By cattle, on the same grass lands (no land use change - important), the impact on climate change would be exactly zero vs pre industrial levels.

We could probable have some quantity of near CO2 neutral meat if we wanted to.

When I want beef I buy from a local farmer (grass fed 10km from my home), I don't think removing it would really help the climate vs things I've done like insulating my house, switching to heat pump, remote work, and switching to EV.
Where does it say customers are not allowed to be notified? For example:

> 41. Should an institution tell its customer that it blocked their funds, and, if so, how does the institution explain it to them?
> An institution may notify its customer that it has blocked funds in accordance with OFAC's instructions. The customer has the right to apply for the unblocking and release of the funds.

I can do just fine without GNOME. In fact, I think the Linux ecosystem would have been much better off if it had never been developed, or maybe left to die after the Qt license issues were sorted out.

As for the popularity of RHEL, how much of that is because the US government is probably their biggest customer, and basically mandates its use for any application needing Linux? That's not a grassroots type of popularity.
I do have a strategy for always winning rock-paper-scissors.

I think a single line in the repo's .gitignore file hurts nobody, while adding CI checks, or catching it in a code review just wastes everyone's time. Expecting everyone to configure their repos precisely is asking too much, IMO.

I've seen all kinds of filters in a .gitignore for programs I don't personally use. I don't mind it at all.
Perhaps the actual phenomenon is that humans are much better at saying "Alice wrote this code, she's pretty good at scripting but she might have made a noob mistake, better check it", or even "I wrote this code.." than they are at saying "ChatGPT wrote this code, but that application is not guaranteed to have correctly identified my problem, but may have just returned something that seems right both to the statistical model and to me, but which is actually deeply flawed, better check it".
The statistical part is the easy part. You can handle the femtometres by estimating how much it'll cost to mitigate the damage, and taxing jet fuel per gallon in proportion (among with other CO₂ emitters). Put tax money to mitigation, and you'll even get a negative feedback loop that'll settle something reasonable.

No, the hard part is that we just can't do the obvious, because there is no one global government that could mandate it. Instead, everyone at every level - individual, corporate, governmental - is better off short-term by not doing any climate mitigation, because those who do will lose business to those who don't.

Interesting, but when looking at old photos they're forgetting the issue of exposure time. In the days when film typically required multiple seconds of exposure, subjects were focusing on keeping still; this makes it more difficult to smile. I'm not suggesting that Apaches at the beginning of the 20th century would have been grinning like teens on TikTok, but it may have an influence.
Well the suspicion a few years ago was that China was loaning out money to developing countries for infra projects hoping to get them over a barrel down the road. Super high repayment costs seized assets perhaps.

Much was written about this and the western governments even sounded the alarm on taking Chinese loans.

Intelligence knows no time limits in extinguishing possible threats. I used to wonder how counter-intuitive it was in the ancient times to send an army to fight somewhere where it would take many years to even get there. But not sending the army would mean possible threat in a decade. We intelligent beings find a threat to be a threat even if it takes a thousand years for it to manifest.

I'm very curious about the variability of mineral content of our foods. Surely it depends on a number of factors, such as the mineral content of the soil the food was grown in, and yet if you search for this you will find that a banana (for instance) has 358 mg of potassium per 100 grams of fruit. Well... what's the +/- on that?

Usually when people say that about crypto, what they mean is that close to 100% of the demand for it is based purely on the expectation that it will go up in value.

Remove that expectation and almost all of the demand disappears.

I am actually not quite sure what would be best to recommend, as the pandemic has seen me lag behind the zeitgeist somewhat. A recent favourite would be the Toolformer paper [1], that I intend to read in detail later today. If an LLM would be able to use external tools efficiently, it could be rather powerful and perhaps allow us to scale down the parameter sizes, which somewhat fascinates me.

[1]: https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.04761

Other research questions, but without concrete papers to reference to that current keeps me up at night: 1.) to which degree can we train substantially smaller LLMs for specific tasks that could be run in-house, 2.) it seems like these new breakthroughs may need a different mode of evaluation compared to what we have used since the 80s in the field and I am not sure what that would look like (maybe along the lines of HELM [2]?), and 3.) can AI academia continue to operate in the way it currently does with small research teams or is a change towards what we see in the physical sciences necessary?

I like it too. It’s the only supplement which has an effect on me. It helps me sleep well and settles any anxiety.

I seem to build a kind of tolerance to it so only take it when I need it, perhaps due to my levels getting low.

I think I take 200-400mg of Magenesium Glycate. I’m told it’s worth getting a good brand.

You can also get a magnesium spray which works really well for sleep if you spray it on the soles of your feet! I was skeptical but I’ve tried it a few times and slept like a baby so I’ll save that for times when I really need a lie in.

It's perfectly reasonable for Western people to use "Classical" as a shorthand for "Western Classical". It's easy enough to apply a modifier if we want to talk about Indian Classical or Persian Classical or whatever. It doesn't mean we don't care about music from other areas, just that the default is to refer to our own musical traditions. The same is true of people from India and Iran—Indians are usually India-centric etc.

The most important point. Computers might read code efficiently, but if people can't reason about it, that is a recipe for bugs to sneak in.

I've used Idagio for 6 months. They have a reasonable interface, good performances and sound quality, but their catalog is indeed limited. There are hundreds of performances of the same well-known works, but there's not (very) much beyond it. I've discovered about 100 fairly unknown composers through YouTube that I consider quite good, but many of them are missing from Idagio, or are listed with one or two works. Their catalog also lacks discoverability. There's nothing to relate Karl Goldmark to Brahms. I also dislike the subscription model, heavily.

So, I still buy albums (mostly from prestomusic, in case someone wants to know).

For those asking why they "didn't just" improve the existing music app. This is the rebranded version of a service called Primephonic which they acquired last year. This is obviously way less work than trying to jam it into the existing app, so I don't think it's an entirely unreasonable decision.

The USD actually has to always inflate to stay relevant since it drives much of the world's markets. Over time there has to generally be an increased supply of the green bills because other countries become more affluent. It is one of the reasons why the Nixon Shock happened - the gold standard became too restrictive, and since the USD was tied to it, it became unsustainable. Countries like France were considering exchanging their USD with gold, which would have seriously depleted the US gold deposits.

Well, speaking on the report, you'll find that all these bodies and their reports are written by committees of special interests in their entirety. There wasn't some report of substance here that was muddied and made less truthful by the meat industry. It had always been this way, even the UN Declaration of Human Rights was written so as to ensure membership in the UN by the big states of the time, and not principled based on some understanding of human rights. Theyre always statements and decisions of convenience for the interests of the attendant parties.
