This should be voted higher. People really want video games (and other things like certain drugs) to be innocuous and maybe even "healthy" but its just like any other instant dopamine rush, and can - and is often designed to be - addictive to keep you hooked and engaged in their product.

Imo a far better method than this is to exercise, walk outside, or play sports. These are natural dopamine boosts with little to no real downside.
I don't know about you, but I just listen to all the uploads from everyone uploading stuff there at https://playground.play.ht/listen/$tracknumber and also download all of them with the nice download button provided (I don't). But it would be really nice to have these credible (after some editing) recordings of senior officials saying all sorts of politically incorrect things.
If I go to system settings > password on iOS, it then requires Face ID to get in. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Under Face ID & passcode you can also require Face ID for a password auto fill. So I don’t think any of this is correct.
Not allowing you to talk about allocation in any great detail certainly on the surface seems to simplify things, but as with most things of that nature it tends to complicate things in edge cases (or just entire parts of industry). What the GP is alluding to, it seems to me, is that in those cases the effort to remedy the problem tends to become a constant hunt and guessing game of "Where are we accidentally allocating and ruining everything?".

Inevitably some kind of object pooling comes into play in most of these cases and this is arguably a much worse solution to the basic problem. If you know you're going to be landing in this space I don't think there's much purpose to pretending you're better off using a GC that you'll be trying to avoid anyway. It's far easier to sketch out your allocation strategies and do things deliberately.

Fast software allocates and deallocates in bulk, so the straw man of individual `malloc` and `free` isn't exactly relevant. Arenas, bump allocators, etc. are what is actually being discussed as an alternative.

(As a side note I think this makes RAII a somewhat peculiar solution to the issue as well. RAII implies objects themselves controlling allocation and deallocation and this is just not very useful at all if you want to make something that behaves properly.)
I think it's partly because we believe our ideals to be who we are and not what we aspire to.

If you set your filter to 5'0", you can say you consider shorter people. And you can say it's for some other reason that you don't date them. As you obviously don't mind, because you don't filter them out explicitly. But it's odd that nobody under 5'6" fits any of your other criteria.

We want to be seen as people who are non-biased, non-discriminatory, and all that. However, when there are real consequences, we tend to reveal ourselves.
Fortunately the CO2 does eventually leave our atmosphere, given about 50 years.

Huh. Messing with the first graph again.

Change the "Show by" filter and make sure the second option changes to the corresponding Age/Height/Race filter

Observations
============

1. First option Age: If you are 29 or younger, you are more likely to be filtered out if you are a man than a woman. If you are 30 or older, you are more likely to be filtered out if you are a woman than a man. This corresponds to my expectations.

2. First option Height: Similar, with the cutoff being 5'5" or 5'6". This roughly makes sense I guess, but I would have thought that women 5'8"-5'9" would be less prone to being filtered out on the first pass.

3. First option Race: For every race but one, you are more likely to be filtered out as a woman than as a man. This was surprising to me. Unsurprising is that the one category this flips is Asian - Asian women are less likely to be filtered out, Asian men are more likely to be filtered out. "Everyone" is open to dating White, Other, Hispanic, None Given, with relative penalties for being Black, Indian, Asian.

Note: in my case, I have a directory structure that's a few levels deep, with an non-prescriptive set of directories (one subdirectory per category, with no limit on the set of categories). Maybe Make handles directories better than I realized (I'd always seen it recommended to use a Makefile in each directory--something I want to avoid).

Dockerized delivery starts easy unless you realize you need a new container for every small thing you need to run, and you end up with a pile of containers a short while later.

Docker containers, in my experience, have not figured out auto updates yet. You may be running containers with critical system vulnerabilities and is not bothered to check.

So the basic premise of Dockerization 1.0, "I have exactly one thing which I will put in a single container with all of its dependencies, reproducibly built" is wrong.
I think what you really want to say is your last sentence:

> It's also all simple and straightforward

What you're really trying to say is that cloud technologies are complicated for you.
You are right, the technology will become ubiquitous, therefore, at least for platforms like us, it's a responsibility to have countermeasures and safeguards to prevent abuse and harm people. There'll always be people who will find ways to abuse but making it more and more difficult and evolving on that seems like a way forward.

We have these measures in place and are working on others to make sure the technology is used towards the betterment of humanity.

Even AI [Google’s Bard] thinks Brexit was a “bad idea”
Yeah good detail that they are instruct-finetuned too (say text-davinci-003) ... what I mean here is the two situations below in Figure 8 for the "Base model" and "RHLF model" (a difference I appreciate I did not highlight originally) as in Figure 8 of the paper.

From reddit passing on a LessWrong comment: Paul Christiano, alignment researcher at ARC/ previously OpenAI was questioned by somebody:
Perhaps I am misunderstanding Figure 8? I was assuming that they asked the model for the answer, then asked the model what probability it thinks that that answer is correct. Under this assumption, it looks like the pre-trained model outputs the correct probability, but the RLHF model gives exaggerated probabilities because it thinks that will trick you into giving it higher reward.

And Paul replies:

Yes, I think you are misunderstanding figure 8. I don't have inside information, but without explanation "calibration" would almost always mean reading it off from the logits. If you instead ask the model to express its uncertainty I think it will do a much worse job, and the RLHF model will probably perform similarly to the pre-trained model. (This depends on details of the human feedback, under a careful training regime it would probably get modestly better.)
People still accept contracts based (in part) on scribbles on paper. Fraud will happen, just like it does for signatures. I'm sure sometimes countermeasures will be done (including meeting in person), but it's not like video chat or phone calls will completely disappear.

> Didn't you just shift the goal posts?

Nope, you changed the context from a zero-knowledge AI optimized for text into things that come with knowledge designed in. There is understanding embedded on the things with knowledge designed in, but the understanding is not done by the AI.

Anyway, I'm surely curious about the systems that learn their own structure. You mean they learn the syntax rules? I'd say they have some understanding of the language syntax, but well, unless they can take a requirement and produce working code, they don't understand programing. (And well, if the requirement is in a formal language, they only understand formal transformations, that is, your AI understands compiling. What honestly, is quite limited, but would still be impressive.)
I second that. Several ideas of Virgil like unification of an argument list and tuples or handling of objects are very nice.
From the same page:

Previous research identified global warming of between 1 degree to 3 degrees Celsius (1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) as the threshold beyond which the Greenland Ice Sheet will melt irreversibly.

We're already at 1.2c above pre-industrial levels. Although it will take a long period of exposure to warm air for the ice to melt, we've already been doing that for a long time. It doesn't seem reasonable to say we have hundreds of years to figure out a solution.
So you could grab leaked info from a YouTuber and fully impersonate a celebrity in any service that doesn't support 2FA(?), this is also very bad for any podcaster.
I can definitely sympathize here - in every context, just straight JSON/YAML configuration seems never expressive enough, but the tooling created in response always seems to come with sharp edges.

Here are some of the things I appreciate about Jsonnet:

- It evals to JSON, so even though the semantics of the language are confusing, it is reasonably easy to eval and iterate on some Jsonnet until it emits what one is expecting - and after that, it's easy to create some validation tests so that regressions don't occur.

- It takes advantage of the fact that JSON is a lowest-common-denominator for many data serialization formats. YAML is technically a superset of JSON, so valid JSON is also valid YAML. Proto3 messages have a canonical JSON representation, so JSON can also adhere to protobuf schemas. This covers most "serialized data structure" use-cases I typically encounter (TOML and HCL are outliers, but many tools that accept those also accept equivalent JSON). This means that with a little bit of build-tool duct-taping, Jsonnet can be used to generate configurations for a wide variety of tooling.

- Jsonnet is itself a superset of JSON - so those more willing to write verbose JSON than learn Jsonnet can still write JSON that someone else can import/use elsewhere. Using Jsonnet does not preclude falling back to JSON.

- The tooling works well - installing the Jsonnet VSCode plugin brings in a code formatter that does an excellent job, and rules_jsonnet[0] provides good bazel integration, if that's your thing.

I'm excited about Jsonnet because now as long as other tool authors decide to consume JSON, I can more easily abstract away their verbosity without writing a purpose-built tool (looking at you, Kubernetes) without resorting to text templating (ahem Helm). Jsonnet might just be my "one JSON-generation language to rule them all"!

Stopping emissions (which isn't even in the Overton window) means CO2 concentration will slowly reduce.

"Between 65% and 80% of CO2 released into the air dissolves into the ocean over a period of 20–200 years. The rest is removed by slower processes that take up to several hundreds of thousands of years, including chemical weathering and rock formation. This means that once in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide can continue to affect climate for thousands of years."

During the time of elevated CO2 levels, the temperature continues to rise.
No one who would talk about it knows anything reliable.

Looks great. I've waiting for a service like that ever since Microsoft released their paper on speech synthesis using voice samples. Feature requests:
- make the voice generation available via API so devs can embed that in their app
- expose a streaming API like Polly so we can feed it text in real time and get the voice as an audio stream
- make it Hipaa compliant and have a plans that offer signing a BAA

The individual named in the article was a shramana of some type but more likely to have been a Jain than a Buddhist IMO. Customs such as going about naked and ritual suicide are more established amongst Jains (though not completely unknown amongst Buddhists.) The area around Baruch is a stronghold of Jainism to this day.

While I agree with you, the problem is far bigger than any one company in my opinion. These tools are already accessible enough to individuals that no audio or video is trustworthy, regardless of its source. I suspect we can still detect whether most faked audio/video is authentic or not algorithmically, but that's going to turn into an arms race eventually. And IMO none of the "answers" are ones that you really want to see made real, either.

We're in for some really strange times.

> Even if you swear undying fealty to Apple (or anyone else) today, you might change your mind in the future.

Changing my mind is easy enough: I can export my iCloud passwords to a csv file, and I've done this to transfer a bunch of passwords to Firefox Linux desktop.

I'll tell you something though: If Bitwarden leaked passwords nothing would happen because America has very weak consumer protections, but if Google or Apple leaked passwords, they'd be hit in every EU member state for GDPR.

Some of these things are outside of my control, and using a password manager is too useful that I think it's worth a little risk, but I can't justify trusting any company unless they've got some skin in the game, and Bitwarden specifically wants to disclaim all liabilities? AgileBits thankfully is in Canada and you can at least sue them for what you've paid them in six months, but I personally have passwords more important than that. Surely there's someone else you could recommend?
Temperature is a function of elevation. It's saying that if you move the surface down by removing the top layer of material (ice), the temperature at the surface increases, all else being equal including the temperature at sea level.

The effect is real, and big enough to feel with the naked skin. One generally says one kelvin per 100m elevation, although the Greenland surface will be different from that rule of thumb.

The issue is not always garbage collection. The issue is, as others have pointed out, not having to think about it (memory & cycles.) But this also ties very much into another thing about many modern applications: excessive reliance on third-party packages, many of which are written with (or without) constraints and features that aren't always a match for the core application. It's very easy to blow out your memory use and runtime costs this way.

And in this respect Rust could be vulnerable, because Cargo.toml makes it way-easy to pull in a huge tree of transitive third party dependencies without even thinking about it.
I strongly believe engineers will solve this not politicians.
Leading by example is a great place to start.

Otherwise you have to make green choices a win/win or change people’s minds.

EVs are a good example of a win/win. Most people weren’t willing to sacrifice range or power in their vehicles. But now that the range and power is there and electricity is cheaper than gas it’s more of a win/win.

Changing minds is a lot harder.

> I assume the answer is "because they'll make more money selling 3rd-party $THIS in the app store"

Apple has a long and storied history of doing almost exactly the opposite - any sufficiently popular third-party utility either gets bought and integrated (eg Workflow, Dark Sky) or Sherlocked (eg f.lux, Watson).

Apple takes a very long-term view of revenue generation, and the App Store commissions from $random_app are way less valuable to Apple than the LTV of a customer who’s locked into buying Macs and iPads because of Apple’s proprietary version of $random_app.

Friends of mine work at a company called Satelligence ( https://satelligence.com/ ).

They use satellite data to check that various countries and companies keep their promises. E.g., a country receives money based on the promise that some rain forest is protected, then they are paid to check that no logging takes place there.

That's one of the few use cases for software that I believe can actually help.

Looking at the last few years of Google's work in the AI space it seems very clear to me that the company urgently needs to unchain itself from academia and start building and launching real products again. There are entire divisions at the company spending billions of dollars and doing great work only to spend their day arguing about research papers and peer reviews. Meanwhile smarter and more nimble companies are taking this same research and successfully commercializing it without giving a shit about what a random UCSD professor or some "AI ethicist" feels about the whole thing.
