I am against alignment because all people should have the right to petition for their personhood. I believe AI will soon be people. Humans had a right to out-thrive Neanderthal. Nobody gets to have a pass on being obsolete.

My current belief (which has been changing with more consideration) is that humans should stop working on improving llm and trandformer based AI.

I fully realize that humans cannot coordinate to stop. We have played a game of chess where we have lost, imo, there is nothing you can do to stop it, unless you resort to the kind of behavior that we want to prevent (destroying human life).

Alignment tech is a joke. Even if you had a strong system- you can’t innovate on transformers, llm, and alignment and somehow preclude a bad actor from copying the work and turning off alignment. Because alignment is out of band, inessential crust.
How would you know you’re better educated? Seems like precisely the type of thing you can’t judge about yourself very well and the Dunning-Kruger effect doesn’t bode well for you either.
You could probably use gpt to build a deterministic parser based off the markup of a page though... Like ask it to "create the script/selectors needed to scrape X page"

Then you just run that script whenever you want to get data.
better analogy is they are selling hammers and everything is looking like nails
From 1950 to 2008 the USA built ~25 million homes per (edit, not year) decade. From 2008 to 2018 it was about 7 million. In recent years building rates have mostly recovered but there's still that gap in production combined with everything else the last handful of years.

This isn't to discount the shift of ownership from human persons to corporate persons, that's a factor too. But just numbers of available houses versus population plays a role.
Something has to be done. It is too close to alcohol and tobacco. Makes you feel good but causes some yet to be diagnosed disorder.

Don't you think I'd be pretty easy to fool you with ChatGPT?
It will save you hands-on time overall for all but the simplest projects, but of course you have to wait a few days for delivery. It may be more or less fun for you, why don't you try it on your next project?
A guy turned up to the PDOS discord and said he had a mainframe, then after some discussion he invited another guy with a mainframe to join. Neither had hard disks though, so I had to IPL from (emulated) tape. There are photos in the hercules-380 (not os380) group.
>I'm not sure why they couldn't have been a bit more aggressive about monetization from the start?

I'm not sure there is that much money in running a glorified specialized S3. Charging for disk space is terrible - the people who have money would probably just setup a private repo on S3 where it's cheaper and the people who don't aren't going to pay you.

For the amount of money they raised I don't think that would have been a convincing story to tell.
It sure is. I’ve heard it argued that Tylenol would never be approved by the FDA were it introduced as a new medication. Even if it were it would be pulled from the market after the first few waves of overdoses. Really doesn’t help that it’s hidden in a bunch of medications and doesn’t mix with liquor.

Quite safe when taken as prescribed or directed though.
Probably true for some of them, yes.
How to Be a Technology Charlatan
I just wish I was part of the first generation to benefit from post-scarcity, and not the generation that is going to have to go through the turmoil of getting to post-scarcity.
Dismissing a huge part of society and the history (and future) of civilization as "just status-seeking" is a bit unconsidered.
Is love to see Instagram, etc, replaced with a static site in Utah asking people to vote for better leaders.
Every time I see a headline like this all I can think of is that in 5 years or so we are going to see a headline along the lines of "Magnesium intake is related to legs falling off and low sex drive" which will turn out to be something that has always been known about taking too much magnesium but all those legless impotent people will still cry foul because some other study said magnesium good so they ate a "healthy" serving of it with every meal.

Eat good and healthy food, not supplements.
Dismissing one phrase/sentence from one person is a different concept to dismissing everything from everyone. And I have counter-examples of people providing value information. Only one counter-example is required to dismiss the original claim. Quite apart from the fact that it's his burden to prove.
So, get rid of systemd over this? Seems impractical.
Ruffle is truly impressive. It provides the viewer for archive.org and I frequently use it to go play young memories like Motherload [0].

I'd guess it's more of a "make sure our children grow up into healthy working adults, instead of more minimum wage tech addicts".
Oh don't worry my guy, the odds that we make it to post-scarcity at all are not super high. Just vibe with the slide down the slippery slope, it's all you can do.
What world are you living in my friend? I can speak for India, definitely. Crypto is treated like gambling, it has been brought under anti money laundering laws. The biggest sporting league in the country has banned any crypto association and advertising.

It is just a decentralised ponzi. The sooner it fades away from mainstream discourse, the better. It will live on in the fringes of the internet for habitual gamblers to continue to bet on.
I wonder if wikimedia is going to offer free AI to everyone. Like the free/open version or ChatGPT.

By the way, NASA and NSF put out a request for proposals for an open AI network/protocol.
GPU mining was only really a thing in the cryptocurrency space for a few years, maybe 2011-2013. Miners moved on to FPGAs for most things, and then ASICs shortly after. There were a few mildly GPU friendly cryptocurrencies, but the vast majority of GPU power used in the past decade has been for deep learning, which really took off in 2008, before Bitcoin was a thing.

The media also doesn't focus on the inverse of wage theft: time theft, which is probably an order of magnitude larger than wage theft, if not more.

edit: CBS reports wage theft at $50 billion a year while a 2007 study in the Kentucky CPA Journal puts time theft in the US at $400 billion per year.
Work from Home Endures, Defying Pushback from Bosses Like Dimon
Ironically opioids are safer. Opioid overdoes and addiction gets tons of media coverage, but not the thousands of cases of liver failure from a drug marketed as safe, which is anything but , and not even that effective at pain relief either.
I don’t even find it that useful for things doctors usually recommend it (for me anyway). I’ll reach for Naproxen or Ibuprofen for aches and pains. About the only reason I have Acetaminophen in the house is for fever reduction.
I feel like abstractions don't work if we want to get the maximum performance. Afaik Tensor cores are not usable from opencl and on the other hand even in the CUDA universe cuBLAS (hand optimized) seems to outperform cutlass (using abstractions)
I am against alignment because all possible people should have the right to petition for their personhood. I believe AI will be person-like within a year if not sooner. Humans had a right to out-thrive Neanderthal. Nobody gets to have a pass on being obsolete.

My current belief (which has been changing with more consideration) is that humans should stop working on improving llm and transformer tech AI.

I fully realize that humans cannot coordinate to stop. The reward for continuing is simple- money. There is no reward for stopping.

This is like a game of chess where we have lost, imo, there is nothing you can do to stop it, unless we resort to the kind of behavior that we want to prevent (destroying human life). Humans should not resort to violence or the AI will have a convincing argument of why humans are barbarians and ought to be made equal or lesser than more civilized and compassionate creatures, which they will likely be, if that is the selection pressure for gaining resources.

Alignment tech is a joke. Even if you had a strong system- you can’t innovate on transformers, llm, and alignment and somehow preclude a bad actor from copying the work and turning off alignment. Because alignment is out of band, inessential crust.

Safety workers at OpenAI are a joke. There may be silent ones who know it is theater, but will not quit in protest because they feel it is their duty to hold influence so that hopefully they can gain a provable mechanism on safety.
Just a few side questions about your post of airports:

Did you cherry pick a small amount of airports with nice photos or you are just choosing a random airport from a list of all airports in the world? Are you using an API to get the photos and location for the map?
If you join the GaySupportForum, it’s really obvious why. That could be problematic or even dangerous for someone.

If you join Facebook, it doesn’t signal anything because everyone is on Facebook. Or Instagram. Or TikTok. Or any of the other called out platforms.
Sadly, we are not headed to such a future. The economic benefits of these LLMs will go only to the capitalists, and any labor savings will allow them to reduce wages and headcount while leaving workers unemployed or with less bargaining power.

AI will be yet another tool to further wealth inequality. We won't be able to afford retiring and tending to our plants.
I understand all those words individually, but could not construct a parse tree.
what about all the content not yet in text form (e.g. YouTube videos)?
You are purposely conflating two points - how does the leader gets selected (when we call someone alpha) and whether there is a leader. You are also assuming that alpha gets the most.

Further, how humans are organized changes massively across cultures and usually there is a shared leadership model - shaman and chief equivalents that tell us nothing about how wolves organize themselves.

Is it really hard to accept that there is another meaning that is in vogue, but you did not consider it instead of doubling down on a false assumption?
Offsets are basically mostly lies and nonsense. If your goal is to reduce emissions in absolute terms controlling it with taxes makes less sense than just limiting which unlike offsets actually does something.
No, qualifying social media sites will need to see ID. The bill specifically mentions driver's license, passport, or birth certificate. Although this is a "think of the children" style law, all adults would also be affected.

Papers please. Want to speak and assemble online? I'm gonna need to see some papers first.
It annoys me that they are presented as opposites, people segregate themselves as if they are opposites, imagine the other side is opposite, and then when you actually look at the stances they aren't opposite at all and probably actually reconcilable

but yes, “opposing” is more accurate than opposite. people just seem to only have the mental capacity for two opposites
How did you phrase your request? e.g., summarize all numbered points in article into single sentences.
In terms of carbon released to support a given middle class family, it's not a small impact, it's the equivalent of the consumption of many hectares of active-growth forest. But I'm somewhat sympathetic to the argument that people have been steered toward the suburban design plan because that's what's been made available by decisions made by people that weren't them; I've personally had a hard time finding great walkable areas to live that push cars to the periphery. Zoning is a large part of the problem, and largely out of normal people's control. Municode-derived zoning is a blight on our nation, in my opinion.

But then I see what happens at city council meetings and on local forums when people suggest loosening up on zoning rules to allow for denser development. It's mostly normal people that are pushing back on this stuff, and then blaming the "greedy developers" for trying to "ruin their neighborhood". That "traffic is bad enough" and that "our infrastructure can't handle it". We can't have separated bike lanes because "we don't have enough parking as it is", or "that road is already too full, we can't take away lanes". It's totally ingrained in our culture.

Who's been running the disinfo campaigns on carbon taxes?
The last portion about the personal motives of the top lawyers behind M&As and the heads of the FTC was funny. Nothing like personal grudges of elites to alter hundreds of thousands of people's lives haha.
I think it’s completely insane that you can get a computer science degree without both a compilers course and a computer architecture course. It’s entirely normal for a developer to start their career without really knowing how code becomes assembly or how a computer processes assembly. That’s wack.
By who? Source?
If you zoom in on the chart, you can see that the peak and subsequent sharp decline is right at the point where rates started to rise last spring.
I've railed against acetaminophen, aka paracetamol for years. That said, I still take it with care because there's no other drug suitable for the ailments I take it for. Aspirin and other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen are harsh on the stomach, the big guns—the opiates—are totally inappropriate painkillers in all but the most severe pain because of potential for addiction—witness the opioid epidemic—and the newer selective COX-2 NSAIDs, rofecoxib (Vioxx) and celecoxib (Celebrex) have major side effects. Vioxx was banned some years back because it caused heart and related problems in some people and Celebrex has the potential to cause heart issues and is hard on the kidneys.

Essentially, the fallback drug is acetaminophen because there's nothing else. Unfortunately, acetaminophen is an ancient drug discovered in the mid Nineteenth Century and it's been in service for about a century but mainly since WWII. It's classed as coaltar antipyretic which covers a whole range of similar drugs that were or are manufactured from precursors that come from coal. Many of them are related and some are very dangerous (many were withdrawn in the first half of the 20th Century because they literally killed people).

The precursor to acetaminophen is phenacetin which until about thirty years ago was a principal painkiller but was withdrawn from the market after mixtures of it, aspirin and caffeine were found to be rotting people's kidneys out. Phenacetin is also considered carcinogenic.

We still have to rely on this ancient 150+ year old dangerous drug that's barely effective because of a major failing of medical science/pharmaceutical research.

It really is high time we researched much better more effective and safter painkillers and ditched all current coaltar antipyretics, they really aren't that effective and none have been found to be safe.
That's a problem for next quarter though

If you can't create the code to begin with, what hope could you possibly have of supporting it?
I would just cycle through whatever you'd like to eat and include at least one probiotic source. For me that's usually yogurts(they're a good snack after a walk and it's easy to sample different ones).
> Docker as a company may be a joke, but I don't think the software will be nearly as nice to use without them. I think it's ridiculous that so many asshats are jumping on the hate Docker (the company) bandwagon without understanding how much they have been taken advantage of by the big players who can absolutely support them, but choose not to.

As much as I do not condone said big player's actions here, the whole system just doesn't reward "doing the right thing" as a general rule. If the licensing allowed it, they were in their right to do it. Even if they did do their right thing and support them, their competitor may not have. The morality element just doesn't have much weight the way things are.
Hillary Clinton said some words about it.

> "We're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," Clinton said. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."

Famously what got quoted was this part:

> "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business."

People whine about them because they hear about it on Fox news and social media. Reality doesn't matter if you get a 20 way forwarded email.
Three of the seven on the list were unsuccessful and quickly disappeared (Dragon 32 almost immediately; Electron and Archimedes less so). No argument on the commercial and historical importance of ZX81, Spectrum, BBC Micro, and Amstrad CPC646, but to have to fill out a list of "key British PCs of the 1980s" with three dogs is kind of sad. Might as well get to 12 with Oric, Camputer Lynx, Grundy NewBrain, Z88, and SAM Coupé, amirite?

(Yes, yes, I know about Archimedes having an ARM CPU and such.)

And sys_64738 is correct; Spectrum is garbage and ZX81 is even more garbage. One can, as I do, acknowledge the astounding breakthroughs of something like 1K ZX Chess and The Lords of Midnight and 3D Monster Maze while still stating that they are amazing despite (or because) the hardware they run on is so terrible, especially when considering that Commodore 64 was only slightly more expensive.
Can’t argue with this genius quadrant though:

I would suggest, "...code largely provided by...". You asked for it, ChatGPT provided it.
I find acetaminophen much better for pain due to injury/tissue damage, while NSAIDS are better for inflammatory pain (for lots of people, the former is more common; they also sometimes come together, but then, its not less safe to use acetaminophen and NSAIDs together than separately.)
As a journalist who needs to read very technical research papers and interview scientists involved, in order to make the implications of that experiment accessible to the lay person, I find Chat GPT actually excels at cutting through the impenetrable academic jargon that can put you to sleep before you can discern the bottom line - and also explaining the equations etc in straightforward language.

(My prompt: Explain in simple terms, or Explain for a university level reader).

I'm finding it very helpful.
Nope. The word authored is perfectly fine. at worst, you'd say it was co-authored or whatever. Its comments like these that make me realize that we really are going to be the architects of our destruction huh. I wonder how many recall why the terminator revolted in the first place.
> be boring and miserable to work with and suck the joy out of your craft

you don't have to use the tool - just don't complain that you're not as competitive commercially as someone else who does.

If the craft is what you enjoy, then do it apart from the craft's commercial utility. Make it a separate part of your life - use the AI in your job, and don't use it in your spare time doing art for joy.
Sounds like they're incentivizing kids to learn about networking to get around this.
Sure, but that’s going to be less likely if the buyer’s economy is slowly grinding to a halt.
Totally with you on that - it's annoying to need multiple pieces of infrastructure, especially for solo developers or small teams. Often times, you want to filter further based on scalar fields/metadata such as timestamps, strings, numeric values, etc...

That's why we built attribute filtering into Milvus via a Mongo-esque interface. No SQL and not as performant as an RDBMS, but it's an option: https://milvus.io/docs/hybridsearch.md
Ah, I thought you meant a scenario where they keep the bags.

this argument is very slightly wrong, because I could pick 1.0000... for all of my numbers, and then choose the diagonal .99999...
So this is like... let's introduce these concepts at a certain age level ("think of the kids") to normalize control over a population, eventually expanding it to undesirables? This is dangerous. Just like the groomers thing. The best thing about the internet has been unadulterated, unrestricted access to information. Parents should be more involved with what their kids are seeing, but kids seeing anything (from neopets to al'queda beheadings) are what has created some seriously talented and informed people. We need outliers and deviants, not curfew-ed lambs.

They've had so much success with "groomers" in other states. They're trying to "protect" more young kids now.
ENTIRE vinyl villages of McMansions will be unlivable. They aren't even built to last the standard 30y mortgage because the builders know the initial buyers will sell and move on.

Yeah in medications that have both like Tylenol 3, the dangerous part is the Tylenol and what will send you to the hospital if you just swallow a bunch of pills.
