You don't have to mention Adrian Zenz, he's core to the reporting.

This AP article for instance, listed in the wikipedia references under the sterilization, https://apnews.com/article/ap-top-news-international-news-we...

"The hundreds of millions of dollars the government pours into birth control has transformed Xinjiang from one of China’s fastest-growing regions to among its slowest in just a few years, according to new research obtained by The Associated Press in advance of publication by China scholar Adrian Zenz."

From the UN report:
"Prior to 2017, ethnic minorities such as the Uyghurs were allowed to have one more
child than Han Chinese, meaning that urban Uyghur couples could have two children and
rural Uyghur couples could have three children, while urban Han were allowed one child and
rural Han were allowed two children respectively. Overall, the Government reports that the
population of XUAR grew from 12.98 million in the 2010 census to 14.93 million in the 2020
census, and that the Uyghur population grew from 10 million in the 2010 census to 11.6
million in the 2020 census, an annual average of 1.52 per cent.
106. In 2017, XUAR amended its regional family planning policy to permit people of all
ethnic groups to have two children in urban areas and three in rural, thus equalizing the policy
and allowing Han Chinese couples to have equal numbers of children as ethnic minorities.240
The amendments also enhanced enforcement, including through a threefold increase in the
“social maintenance payment” payable by persons who violate the policy.241 In June 2021,
in line with the new national policy, XUAR introduced the three-child policy for all ethnic
groups.
107. Official population figures indicate a sharp decline in birth rates in XUAR from
2017.242 Data from the 2020 Chinese Statistical Yearbook, covering 2019, shows that in the
space of two years the birth rate in Xinjiang dropped approximately 48.7 per cent, from 15.88
per thousand in 2017 to 8.14 per thousand in 2019. The average for all of China is 10.48 per
thousand."

The UN Report has no mention of Executions or Kidnapping.

All of the reporting on this comes from groups such as the Heritage Foundation(Far-right think tank). I've gone down this rabbit hole. It was a propaganda stunt.
If code can be reliably generated and digital businesses deployed automatically, you can Monte-Carlo sample enterpreneurship. Automated ventures.

Edit: That may the lesson of Stable Diffusion: ideas are very cheap, if you have a heuristic for what a good idea is. Generate a business, fix it by optimizing for measurable metrics, if it doesn't work, try again. Legal constraints can be interpreted by an LLM, fines are penalties for training.

I think in terms of human ingenuity, the digital space is finished in the long run. It will all be on the level of infrastructure funneling data to corporations.

The space to innovate with the low-hanging fruit still lies in engineering physical things, where implementation and testing is still a barrier to iterating quickly.
One for "falsehoods programmers believe about names".
These are contractual terms.
Yes, but transaction screening should rely on information about the accounts involved, and not the descriptions on the payments. Because those mean nothing.
This is all true, and the interesting thing to me is that I don't think it's intentional. That is, it seems to be the natural result of steady innovation without special effort being made to keep things stable for those who want to avoid innovation.

Should they make that extra effort? Sure, arguably they should. Apple's philosophy has always been to look forward, not back, though, and things like supporting 32-bit code on 64-bit architectures require a lot of effort for little perceived gain.

Then again, that effort means people can jump off of the circular treadmill, so maybe it's worth it.

Great clear-eyed and cynical take here, I like the spirit of this comment if not all the details/conclusions, but can you provide a link/source for "You can look at historical graphs of fed rate vs unemployment to verify" and the "federal reserve defines the "natural rate of unemployment" as being around 5%" claims?

I think both of these are probably roughly true-ish but by brief Googling I couldn't verify either one.

I understand the concern about this being rather useless fluff with no real differentiation beyond a cute and UX. However, as someone who grew up playing music, I truly believe that listening to "difficult" music exercises the brain in a way similar to reading a good book.

Technically true, I guess, but only in the narrow sense that it is opposite to libertarianism.

But this is the kind of freedom (absolute de-regulation) that nullifies the freedoms of others (agency in the market). Overall the first is more deleterious than the others, and removing it causes far fewer victims and far more upsides.
Dude, you're not in contact with the reality of most people. Most europeans outside of the blue banana buy second-hand cars, which are 99.9% gas cars.

> In this particular case Paypal is acting stupid

So calling it 'acting stupid' totally negates the stranglehold that Paypal and Stripe have on a majority of online commerce and payments and totally liberates people from their unregulated tyranny then...

...

Things dont change their nature by 'rephrasing them differently'. Unregulated private tyrannies that dominate people's lives are still unregulated private tyrannies.

There is a time and place for each argument and there is a time and place for conceding the argument. This is one of them:

No one can ban anyone from crypto. If your business wallet gets stolen, you suffer some losses, but you can create a new wallet, add it as your payment option in your business or personal account at your site or wherever, and just continue your life.

With these unregulated private tyrannies, you cant.

That's not entirely true. Back in the 1970s when we tightened up regulation the companies operating nuclear power plants in the US were selling power onto the grid on a cost plus basis. That is, they'd be paid for their expenses plus a reasonable percentage on top of that. And there were regulators looking at their expenses to make sure they were reasonable.

But when they, together with environmental activists, were able to get laws passed that drastically increased the cost of running a nuclear plant the regulators couldn't say no. So their costs increased, but then their profits increased as well through the magic of cost-plus contracts.

Ask HN: What programming tasks you saw GPT4 fail badly at
It seems on HN there is a widespread belief that LLMs will just be another productivity jump for programmers and not an industry restructuring revolution. My own experiments with GPT4 make me feel that with similar more improvements in GPT (like GPT3 to GPT4), it will for sure have a dramatic impact on the industry.

Have you observed otherwise. I would love to see prompts that GPT4 fails badly at. I would also like to hear the views of others on the best case and worst case scenarios for people currently employed in the software industry.

There's no reason for that. As production improves in efficiency it is natural for things and services to become cheaper. That also means you get more for your money, instead of getting more money. That concept is not too strange for the population to accept.
A better idea would be getting of everyone's lawn -- no ML required.
1) The AI's aren't getting much better since when? Last week?

You appear to be assuming that the only way to make current LLM-based AI's better is by feeding them more and more data, but that's simply not true. These current (really first generation, not withstanding GPT's versioning) AI's are very data/parameter inefficient, and do not differentiate between data used to develop reasoning and data that is just pure knowledge. The short-term path forward is more judicious training set design to use less data, and require less model parameters, so that the model itself just learns to reason, and doesn't need to do double-duty as a database repository of facts as well. Retrieval-based plugins and similar approaches can be used to give access to external knowledge.

2) There will be many different sizes and capabilities of AI. They don't all need to be superhuman.

We are entering the AI age and just as the computer age didn't result in everyone needing a mainframe or datacenter in their garage (although there are uses for them), the AI age will not result in everyone running the world's most powerful super-human AI on their smartphone. There will be a range of AI's for different uses cases.

Current models are also very inefficient. We are essentially day 1 into the NN/LLM AI era. Think of ChatGPT as the ENIAC of the age. DeepMind's Chinchilla scaling laws have already proven how inefficient these systems are, with a suitably trained 70B model equaling the performance of a 175B one. There is tons more work to be done on efficiency and smarter model design.

3). Perhaps, but per point 1) we're not running out of data anyway, and there will anyways always be people/companies happy to sell data for a price, even if it is not for free.

Future AI's will learn the same way we do by experimentation and curiosity/surprise, and will not need to be spoon fed a training set in the same way as today's systems.

4) No idea what you're talking about here. NN optimization is hardly spent as a technique - that'd be like saying "we've reached the limit of what we can to with software development - we need a new idea".

LLMs as a path to AI, or building block of AI, are of course a very new idea - a few years old at best. A few decades ago no-one was even working on neural nets (current DeepLearning revolution basically started with AlexNet in 2012) .. it was all GOFAI symbolic systems - failed approaches like SOAR and CYC.

If you compare the Transformer architecture to the human cortex, and our brain's overall cognitive architecture, some of the missing pieces are extremely obvious. We're not at any sort of impasse as to how to move things forward.
There's a big difference between 'accessible by public transport' and 'practical to get to a workplace by public transport'

There's a real market for this, and this is a really ambitious app. So much so that I'm very skeptical it will work without significant resources behind it. So you'd need to overcome that for me, as well as privacy concerns, by disclosing a lot more about the company an the codebase.

My Yubikey 5 NFC rocks. Just works, does everything I want.

I ordered a Nitrokey 3C NFC 2 years ago, never heard from them until a week ago where they said they shipped it (I'll believe it when I receive it). I tried to contact their support once to kindly ask if I still existed in their database, they answered that I should read the blog in a rude way (which did not even answer my question).

They were claiming 2 years ago that they had many features (my understanding was "almost compares to Yubikey"), and I realized recently that it was not only not true, but in those 2 years they haven't reached feature parity (not even remotely).

So... feel free to order a Nitrokey to support them (I did, and my hope is that it will get better), but if you want something that works today, go for Yubikey.
in theory it extract O2 from the air and produces H2O (otherwise known as water). But the devil is in the details. Also, green energy is mostly photovoltaic/wind ... so panel/wing environment costs and transport costs factor in.
