Have a read of this write up, it compliments this discussion nicely.

I think it makes some good points, but one of them stands out clearly to me, there is a narrative going around that we "have" to continue doing AI research at this pace. I'm skeptical about it. This is a story we believe.

We're fueling an arms race by doing the research, do you know what I mean? Like if we were throwing billions of dollars into gray goo creating technologies, would that be clever?

I'm not saying that it's possible to slow down or stop AI progress, but we're definitely not helping by throwing billions or trillions of dollars into it.

If we were an actually intelligent species, I think we would slow down and take stock of what we're doing before disaster strikes.

In fact global totalitarian surveillance that stamps out all potentially dangerous research is one of his few proposed solutions in his paper.

Someone else posted this, I actually think this is where further AI research will take us, this is because regular people who aren't nerds will vote for this, it would be politically an easy sell for a politician, and people would honestly prefer oversight and their families safety rather than having watching "boffins gone wild" receive endless rounds of funding creating self-replicating terminators for fun.

You have to remember, computer geeks and regular people probably have very different ideas about AI. If we can't behave, people will behave us.

This should be treated like any other data breach and employees should be reprimanded accordingly, especially for breaches of classified data (not sure if that ever happened, but I’m sure some dumbass has tried it).
The policy stance is directly implied by the probability estimate. This is certainly true if you accept my anecdata of ~6-8 of my relatives from the south of Ukraine and Kyiv who are, to a person, adamant about the vital necessity of winning the war to ensure their kids won't have to fight another one 20 years from now. There's absolutely no dithering in Ukraine about what the goal is: 1991 borders and one or both of EU and NATO memberships, with the NATO membership very likely being first.

These people didn't suffer for 13 months to accept some half-ass appeasement of a ceasefire to give Putin some breathing room to regroup.

Do you know of a React library for doing this? tanstack react-query can prefetch [0] but it just prefetches a REST API, it doesn't prerender in an invisible DOM node or something (also "prerendering" in React usually refer to server-side rendering of HTML text, not to prerendering something in the browser, so this seems a bit hard to search for)

For there to be a bubble, it has to be pierced. We haven't seen that with React. We did see that with Angular. I think the reason why the bubble did burst with Angular is because it made many opinions about things, and the more opinions you make, the fewer people in aggregate are going to agree with your total outlook. It's easy to convince people of 1 thing, and less easy to convince people of N things. React being less opinionated and not a batteries-included option means it won't be going away for awhile.

Getting started, algebra was enough for me. However, as I got slammed by algorithmic complexity problems like nested loops and needing to pick out the proper type of collection (data structure/sorting) for holding information, things like Big-O notation and Discrete math became more interesting. Once I started doing work with financial analysis and other optimization problems, calculus became quite useful, even if it was just to calculate an occasional slope. When I wanted to understand the underpinnings of deep learning, linear algebra concepts like working with vectors and matrices as well as more calculus was quite handy. Now, I'm really interested in quantum computing and having only scratched the surface of linear algebra, I need to go back to the books to build a foundation to move forward on. I suppose it's an individual choice for the direction you want to go in.

Because in an MPA a navigation to a new state is obvious: the page reloads, the screen reader can inform the user and start again from the top.

In an SPA clicking on something could replace the content in some other area of the screen - but if you don't add the right additional code the screen reader user has no way of understanding what just happened.

This reminded me of early days running AWS SQS. We didn't charge for storage as message size was limited and the expectation was any message was going to be read immediately... But sure enough some users would just leave messages there forever and we could never figure out what they were trying to do except maybe exploit it for free storage somehow.
Much of what we think we know from history is known to us only because somebody claimed it in writing, and it seems plausible enough so we have no particular reason to believe they made it up. As far as I'm aware we haven't dug up any ancient Greek polybolos ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybolos) But they were described in ancient writings and the premise seems plausible, so we believe such polybolos existed and put it into our modern history books. The Antikythera mechanism evidently failed the implicit plausibility test, so we didn't believe it until we found one. Or maybe the written mentions of it simply failed to attract much notice so the plausibility was never given much thought in the first place.

The benefits they list for classic multi-page applications are good.

That's what they love to say, but it has never seemed that way to me. One way data flow seems to be a huge opinion.

Also dangerouslySetInnerHTML, htmlFor, className, etc, etc.

That last one was handled by the community, partly coming from Facebook, with stuff like GraphQL, but now they've gone more with batteries included route even on their website by suggesting to use a big framework: https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project

Also their opinions don't align with those of a lot of the community. A lot of glitches stem from controlled components.

"In most cases, we recommend using controlled components to implement forms" https://legacy.reactjs.org/docs/uncontrolled-components.html ( which they might have finally changed their position on https://react.dev/reference/react-dom/components/input#contr... )

Almost all of their best movies have had heavy involvement in the writing / directing role by a couple of key players and most of those individuals have either graduated to a producer role or have moved on from Pixar.

Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Up, Inside Out, and Soul were all written and/or Directed by Pete Doctor.

Finding Nemo, Finding Dory, and Wall-E were written and directed by Andrew Stanton.

There are multiple writing and directing credits on all of their films, but these two have writing and directing credits on almost all of the great original ones.

One thing I have noticed is some of the more recent Pixar movies don't feel like Pixar movies at all. They feel like Disney movies: Lot's of musical numbers, a lot more slap stick and silly, more cheap laughs. Have to wonder if Disney has been asserting too much influence on the company.

> British simply stepped in and took over primarily to secure their trade interests

That skips over the rape, murder and utter destruction quite tidily. The British were not there to help and I don’t think that could be a valid argument at any stretch.
The Pile and Common Crawl are where everyone gets their data from.

I did lie a bit; OpenAI does have private datasets. For example, GPT-3 was trained on Internet data, but InstructGPT/ChatGPT was further finetuned through their own dataset of question/answer pairs. This was augmented in a really clever way: the initial set of valid completions was written by humans, but then OpenAI made more AI models to augment their training data before finetuning GPT-3 on it.

Even then, there's techniques for taking the output of one large language model and using it to finetune another. So just having a publicly-available AI chatbot is enough to get it to generate a dataset that you can then train another AI chatbot on.

I personally have been scraping Wikimedia Commons for public-domain imagery to train an art generator bot on; but this is mostly because I want an art generator that isn't full of pending copyright infringement lawsuits.

>I can't see it worth the effort for any advance civilization to mount an invasion of a backwater solar system many light years away.

Because that backwater civilization goes from turning on the BBC transmitter for the first time to interstellar terminators in a cosmic eyeblink. If you're lucky and <100 light-years away you have just enough time to launch your own terminators first and take them out.

Our galaxy is 100,000 light-years across. If we were to detect signs of campfires, much less radio transmissions, almost anywhere in the Milky Way then there could already be a fleet of solar system consuming robots headed our way at 99% of lightspeed. They might have already completed most of the journey..

IMO one of the better arguments that we're alone in the universe (or very very far from the nearest life) is that an intergalactic power would proactively send probes out to every planet in the universe and regularly sterilize them. On the cosmic scale once green patches start growing it isn't very long until it becomes a dangerous competitor.
You can see the earth "breathing" CO2 in this data.

https://gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/

The amplitude of the world's natural CO2 cycle is on par with about 1.5 years of anthropogenic emission. Which is certainly impressive, but it's cylic and fairly steady. Plants are not growing fast enough to support the fantasy you describe.
You need to have a first-class understanding of accessibility to not have a11y problems. If your MPA framework allows you to define an "onClick" handler with a div tag, you're back in React's set of accessibility problems (versus using a button element, etc).
A CA can sign for any site. I'd say a single CA compromise breaks the entire system until it is revoked.

DNS root key compromise breaks the entire system until it is replaced.

Naw, it's always been going on. Let's pick a pre-internet example, on cable TV back in the day there was a pill that the commercials implied, but didn't actually clearly state, that would make your penis bigger.

If there actually was a pill that would actually make your penis bigger, would it:

A) be advertised only on the high number cable channels late at night?

or

B) Be shouted from the rooftops?

So, develop a healthy sense of skepticism about everything you see on the media. It's nothing new.

Observational hypothesis based on 5 minutes with the app (and asking it to repeat the prompt it was given):

This does not use any OpenAI service to analyze the image. Rather, it’s using some other image, recognition model to generate a description of the image, feeding that description into chatGPT, and having chatGPT hallucinate other likely details based on that description.

It must be just your area. Google Maps is pretty much indispensable for me, and I haven't seen any regressions in quality. I'm guessing Google Maps has different teams maintaining it in different places, so your experience probably varies a lot by locality.
I agree and I find some of the statements a bit odd (not thought out?).

I think Moore’s Law could keep going for decades.[2] But even if it doesn’t...
If 1e35 FLOP is enough to train a transformative AI (henceforth, TAI) system,
which seems plausible, I think we could get TAI by 2040...

First, I don't see Moore's Law going sub-atomic without a complete change in methodology, which would delay the results. Wafer/die stacking are cool, but stop-gap measures. In particular he acknowledges that power consumption hasn't scaled since 2005 (in fact chiplets help by only sqrt2!). The challenge is that it doesn't help that much to increase the number of transistors, if their latency/power/cost don't fall as well. We're approaching that even ignoring any geopolitical issues.

Second, power consumption is not improving except by going to 8&16 bit... there's not a lot of room there. Currently, we get <1000GFlOPs/W and even if we get 100x up to 100TFLOPs/W, you still need 10^17kWhr. OK algorithms get us another 10,000x... and it costs $1T to train 1 transformative AI. How many proof of concepts trials will be do at only $100B a pop?

It all just seems a bit flip and hopeful like Feb 2000. The 10^35 number seems like its just pulled out to be a number, when it could orders of magnitude up/dn.

Safari pops up a little box attached to the login text field asking you if you want to use the password for wellsfargo, so it seems like it’s asking keychain “do you have a password associated with this url?”. At least on modern MacBooks they also figured out a good UX flow, when that box is on screen you put your finger on the Touch ID button and it authenticates you, puts in the password, and goes to the next field or hits submit.
I think that’s an error — all of agriculture, IIRC, produced about 15% of GHGs. This is not to downplay the impact of bovine burping.

Also note that, as far as methane goes (that’s what the cows burp), anthropogenic emissions are about 40% of the total.
For some reason it's not cheap. One box costs about a dollar and doesn't provide enough nutrition to justify purchase. Otherwise it's quite tasty.
Hmm, I remember reading somewhere that one of the possible solutions for a civilization going through singularity is a closed time-loop in the multiverse space, from civilization's first recorded history to its singularity point. And that the laws of physics were compatible with this. Don't quite remember where it was. Most likely it was a nonsensical article on arXiv.
A more fruitful way to think about the degree of opinionated would be to compare to alternatives. If "className" versus "class" is too much 'opinion' maybe vanilla JS is best for your eclectic taste. Also, you'd absolutely find stuff like Angular to be maddening in its degree of opinionatedness.

You're likely looking at the problem from a different angle. Kubernetes is an ecosystem for managing software deployed on a fleet. There's value in that even if it's two or three hosts. What size of an org is too small for Terraform? Puppet? CI/CD? Docker? Some bash scripts?

All these tools should fundamentally solve some piece of the puzzle for you. Kubernetes on a managed platform just happens to cover many pieces that you still need to solve otherwise. It may be more novel than some other technology but it's not less proven or difficult, fundamentally.

Most of the criticism I see here is literally just FUD. I run Kubernetes at home. It's fine. It's less work than anything comparable I've ever encountered.

> the allegedly “protected” parties in this case would still be able to trade with Binance if Binance were licensed

Correct. Except those parties would have their own risk disclosure obligations which the CFTC could check.

It’s easy to hide leverage in swaps. They also uniquely accumulate counterparty risk, since the standard way to close out a swap isn’t to cancel the original swap, but to enter into a new, counter-balancing one. This means even a minor party failing can lead to systemic risk as positions their counterparties assumed were hedged are now levered and open. Add in opaqueness, and any swap participant going under leads to legitimate concerns about everyone else. This happened in 2008. The rules Binance helped institutions evade are the ones that were written to prevent that form of crisis re-emerging.
