That dude Eliezer Yudkowsky is such a nutcase. It is truly a testament to our times that we have normalised this kind of “Neuro-divergent” behaviour. He claims that AI is completely inscrutable and that it is guaranteed to wipe out life on earth in the same self-contradictory breath. In all his communication he is only trying to scare the normies and he hasn’t produced a shred of mathematical argument to back his claims, which can then be analysed by real experts - mathematicians and logicians. The sky is falling argument could be made about any technology, say the Large Hadron Collider. There is no scientific research possible without risk, and there simply aren’t enough escape hatches for a “malicious” AI to escape. This kind of hubris should not be encouraged but it is sad to see media outlets give a platform to the arrogant, incompetent, and the mentally ill.
It's not a "moat" in any meaningful sense as far as I can see. Doing it better isn't a particularly defensible position, it's just something you can win by doing.
In many big asian cities, the nearest MRT stop is less than 5 minutes walking away, there are trains every 3 minutes, they ride fast, and the layout is such that you usually need 0 or 1 transfers to another colored line, can't really beat it imho, except with the public bikes in some cases

EU's metros are a bit dated compared to that, but still very useful.

In the NY one, I was sometimes thinking walking is about as fast if you add up the slow train speed with the waiting time. In SF, there is none?!
Looks almost right. This is quite close to what I keep in mind. At the end of the day let's creating html tags but as semantic shape visually. I don't think I would include spacing stuff like width/height margin/padding. Just plain visual utilities .. that can be composed in different ways to form a new type .. like ML style type. Hard to explain, just assume I'm shit talking.
Sweden’s murder rate is less than a fifth of the murder rate in the United States.

It seems like their policies do go a big way to solve the problem, as infeasible as they appear to be for the USA.
JoshCole is doing a computation to arrive at the conclusion that there's a <1% chance that this code was added after Musk bought Twitter. I'm using the same methodology with at least equally plausible inputs to arrive at there being a >>99% chance of it.

How is that a nitpick? They're diametrically opposite results.

That is only for presidential elections. I assume the original comment covered elections in general. Washington state, for example, has single primaries (top two advance to general election regardless of party) rather than a partisan primary for every election except presidential.

A word of caution, 11 of those counts likely correspond to the 11 reimbursements of Cohen. There are likely many repeated actions which all work together as a unit. So I wouldn't make too much of the number until we have more information.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the political structure of the US works. The individual States are responsible for regulating healthcare, the Federal government has little jurisdiction as a Constitutional matter.

There are many single-party States that nonetheless have broken healthcare systems. You can’t legitimately blame the intransigence of any political party in those States, they control their own outcomes. I live in a single-party State (Democrat) and the systemic incompetence and corruption in healthcare is evident without any Republicans in sight.

Americans have very little contact with Federal law. The legal environment they live in is set by the States, by design. If you don’t like the laws where you live, or the competency with which they are executed, that is on the State.
BBSs were at their peak user numbers in the early-to-mid 1990s.

It was only after 1995 or so with the web starting to develop and, subsequently, dial-up ISPs exploding that BBSs went in to that rapid decline.
It’s fun, but it’s not really at all what a BBS was like.
> Who are you to dictate what laws they set on their own soil?

I'm not dictating, I'm disaproving.

Sovereign nations can indeed have whatever laws they want, and I don't have to go there but I can continue to speak out against bad and unjust laws as I see it.

If that's true, that's ignorance on my part.
I had read the Wikipedia summary, which gave me a decent idea of the general shape of the case.

Having now read the opinion, I don't think my initial estimate of the case from Wikipedia was far off. Modulo the specific details of Colorado law (and similar must-arrest laws across many states), for which down thread I do say the dissent makes a convincing case on those merits. But that doesn't have much bearing on my original main point, but rather just how I might have made that point.

BTW what prompted you to chime in this way instead of continuing to read the thread and seeing I did go on to read the primary source?

The actual thing that lines up a series of sell-at-this-price bids and the series of buy-at-this-price bids (or even more complicated types of orders, this the easy case) and crosses them over, figuring out who gets what bids filled by whom at what price, at supremely fast speeds and large volumes.

It might be nice if they deliver on this promise though.
Deloitte has a huge reputation to maintain and wouldn't be putting out false information.

Besides, they are not saying anything that any other reputable source isn't also saying.
No mention of methodology there. In the review of the M1, it looks like they reported some numbers from software estimates (never particularly accurate, especially for cross-platform comparisons), and some measurements of wall power (ignoring the battery, which actually matters for peak power consumption). The one AMD 5800U review I checked seemed to be mostly using wall power measurements. Their methodology article does not really provide any further detail ( https://www.notebookcheck.net/Our-Test-Criteria.15394.0.html ). Every plausible way of producing the numbers in the comparison chart from the data they collect and present in their individual laptop reviews leaves them at risk of systematic errors on the order of several Watts.
Where's the ANSI art?
Data moving back and forth from CPU to to bus to GPU and back again for however many chunked model parts you have would increase training time far beyond what you would be willing to invest, not to mention how inefficient and power intensive it is, far more power needed than doing just CPU only or GPU only training. Back to the time part - it's not linear at all. IMO its easily quadratic.

It's not unfeasible, in fact that's how things were done before lots of improvements to the various libraries in essence, many corps still have poorly built pipelines that spend a lot of time in CPU land and not enough in GPU land.

Just an FYI as well - intermediate outputs of models are used in quite a bit of ML, you may see them in some form being used for hyperparameter optimization and searching.
It also wouldn't talk about quantum computing, VR, and AR.

So, in your opinion, if we look at long lived nuclear waste, did the weapons programs produce more such waste than the civilian reactors, or less?

Also, I'm saying it would make sense to dispose of the spent nuclear fuel produced by the civilian reactors at the WIPP repository? Are you saying this does not make sense? Why?
Yep! There are a lot of historic regional trade routes that have long existed that are only starting to get visibility in Western English speaking academia. For example that between Malacca and Northern Australia or betwee Paleo-Siberian and North Asian ethnic groups together with the Inuit.

There was an interesting book I found once at a used book store that specifically translated Gujarati language Ismaili papers and sermons brought by traders that spread Islam into SEA. Sadly I didn't get around to buying that book, but could probably find it.

Looking at the Cinebench R15 results it seems like the M1 x86 actually had better perf/Watt than the 5800U despite the oversite the M1 is running this 2013 benchmark via emulation.

Note: If you hit the expandos you'll see nearly every 5800U result is coming from a 30W/25W TDP 5800U. Even if you take the most favorable R15 test (multicore), the 25W value for the 5800U, and a 15W value for the M1 (despite the page saying 10W) that still comes out with perf/watt in favor of the M1 emulating the benchmark. If you look at the first native release of Cinebench (R23 in 2020) you'll see the reality that the M1 runs at about the exact same speed (slightly ahead in single core, slightly behind in multicore) at 1/2 the Wattage.

For comparison an entire Mac Mini system pulls 30W from the wall when running a compute benchmark workload https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste... including conversion loss, peripherals, memory, and anything else.

> Make police carry malpractice insurance.

This part is a bad idea, imo. If malpractice insurance is required and (presumably) privatized then we've handed a great deal of control over the monopoly on violence to private enterprise. Imagine the power $yourLeastFavoriteBillionaire would have if they decided to start buying up insurance firms that offer malpractice. VP got a DUI? The officer will forget all about it unless they want to lose coverage and be fired.

I'm not against levying financial penalties, but I think privatized insurance is the wrong way to go at it.

I think you’re a brilliant writer. This is a fantastic article. Thank you for articulating the problem so clearly.

The only hope I have is that because we’re building these things largely in our image, because we’re fallible and often the systems we build are too, we’re actually building something quite stupid and incapable of mass scale destruction. Hopefully the laws of physics or intellect are reached before anything gets to too out of control.

This is why “containment” is such a precarious concept. In the end, we may find our plan to place the AI into checkmate only resulted in placing ourselves into checkmate.
Ok. Have a good weekend.
I don't have direct comparative cost experience, but the reason heat pumps are so efficient is that while they do indeed have to run a fairly energy intensive compressor, that compressor allows them to get heat energy for free from the outside. By using the compressor to make the outside refrigerant very cold, it absorbs heat from the outside air (for air source heat pumps) even if it's cold outside. That absorbed heat energy required expending energy to run the compressor, but it ends up allowing the system to absorb several times more heat energy from the outside air. This marginally cools down the outside air, but that gets heated back up again by the sun. Arguably making heat pumps solar powered.
No, they really get most of their guns from the USA. No shipping on a boat (China doesn’t even have a gun industry for consumers, Russia and Brazil are the only producers of note with production comparable to the USA in size, and Brazil has that Dorian gap that makes smuggling difficult), cheap, and America makes a lot more guns than it needs. The statistic that 30% of Americans have 5 guns each is skewed because many of those guns were smuggled out to Mexico and Central America.

One of the reasons Republicans were so eager outraged that the Clinton admin ATF was trying to track gun smuggling from the USA into Mexico was that it was such a bad look for them.

What's uh? Compuserve had email, but it was not Internet connected nor SMTP, where did I say or imply otherwise. And a BBS in the 1980s wouldn't ask you for your "email" address.

I got permabanned from the subreddit and then I tried a second time on my main account in the hopes of getting a second chance and that got both accounts banned for a few days, then I tried going to some other subreddits and sharing the site on a few other alt accounts and they caught me and I am now permabanned from Reddit, Lol. I'm pretty sure they have my IP and stuff on a blacklist at this point.
This is an interesting counter-example to the idea that IP rights should be abandoned.

The IP in question here would be copyright (as mentioned in the article) and these days likely trademark as well.

He did have a copyright,but this was deemed invalid. Copies flooded the market.

Now,of course,all (most) toys have a limited shelf life. But the clones are just in it for the money,the developer is discouraged and retreats. Further development is abandoned.

With software there are advantages to being open, or closed, but in both cases copyright and trademarks serve to protect the project. Obviously clones, copies,fakes and forks exist,but trademarks and licensing serve to protect the original authors intentions, and the author has choices in what protection they want.

Patents on software though such. I can't defend those.
I never understand why you guys put up with this. The French are burning Paris to the ground because their retirement age got put up 2 years. But America puts up with the most outrageous hardship with barely a whimper.
This /\

My wife and I a couple years back moved to the very edge of the suburbs. Like, across the street is forest preserves, and behind us is a river. We have only spoken with fewer than 10 neighbors since we moved in 2 years ago.

Her, and her sisters all talk about it being like a "serial killer neighborhood". Even my fishing buddy nextdoor sort of rolls his eyes about how his wife says similar things sometimes.

But I tell my fishing buddy: You'll never understand how vulnerable women feel. Ever. Honestly, being afraid of a place where nobody is around is statistically safer - people don't lock their doors in my neighborhood. I've started also not locking doors. It's that kind of place. That has been a point of friction for my wife and I too - I have been really diligent prior to this, because I always lived in really populous areas.

My wife, thankfully, has never been a victim of any kind of violence. But she has had experiences where she avoided that. Once time some big guy late at night followed her into her apartment building asking to use her phone to call for a tow truck or some nonsense. She knew it was BS, but gave it to him anyways. He ran away.

Men will never be able to understand how vulnerable women feel. We simply do not experience the world in the same way. I'll give another example to help anyone still reading get it: I once went to a haunted house (the Rob Zombie one in Chicagoland) with my buddy and his wife. Probably 10 times, actors working there tried to jump-scare her, and not me or my buddy. Every goddamned time. Whether she was in front, or behind, or between us. She does not scare easily, so she was just really annoyed. Predatory men see women as easy victims in ways they do not other men.

Here in the Chicago area, natural gas is piped in underground, and for the most part, the electrical infrastructure is above ground, and thus vulnerable to ice and the errant vehicle taking out a pole.

Thus, the risk of losing electric power is the highest at the time you would need it the most if you relied solely on a heat pump to keep your house warm, and your water pipes from freezing and then damaging everything. This is a very strong incentive to have natural gas heat, and a small generator to be able to run the fans to operate it. (Or perhaps a large UPS rated for inductive loads)

I think a gas operated backup generator that could then exhaust it's waste heat as input to a heat pump would be the best of all worlds.

Most of the time, it serves as insurance. On really cold days (it has gotten down to -40 in my lifetime), or when power is out, it could both run the heat pump, and serve as the "emergency heat" sometimes required for an air-source heat pump.

Of course it would be better to have a ground loop heat pump, but that's not always an option.
I in no way want to seem like I endorse EY's brand of crackpotery, but do note he says in the interview a malicious AI would go undetected and would not try persuading humans to do anything to "get out of jail"; it would instead hack the system. EY seems to think a hostile AI would not contact human proxies in order to start its nefarious plans, because we'd be too slow for it, and also because alerting any of us would be a risk.

I see, my status changed from US tax resident to student in Canada so the taxes now apply. I stand corrected.

Still I feel it’s unfair in a globalized economy considering it’s reducing liquidity, as in you have to be a tax resident of some other country to avoid this steep tax. For example if you decide to take a year long sabbatical or retire in, say Portugal, you’d have to pay the tax every time you withdraw money for rent and groceries.
1. INR Depreciation: A seasoned investor (assuming US investor) must cover this risk by shorting his INR position. This way, he only collects the alpha of the Indian stock market while remaining neutral to the fluctuations of the INR.

2. Indian Taxation: This has been the trend in almost every country. The taxes do not matter if the yield is still higher than your Western yield. It'll pay for itself.

3. Money Outflow: In my humble opinion, this is the real concern. You can pay high taxes, and still come out ahead. But if you can't get your money out, that's a real problem. And companies will leave because of that. I think the uncertainty of one's money is what's preventing a foreign investment boom in India.
The best defense against what aboutism is. Yes, both are bad, I’m glad we’re in agreement.

So no different than highway construction then? The seventh annual report of Highway Boondoggles:

* https://frontiergroup.org/resources/highway-boondoggles/

And let's not forget that it's been empirically measured for decades that building more roads/highways doesn't decrease congestion:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_demand

And that car-oriented 'improvements' makes things worse for drivers and worse for those for those taking public transit (often due to not being able to afford a car):

> It is a paradox in that improvements in the road network will not reduce traffic congestion. Improvements in the road network can make congestion worse if the improvements make public transport more inconvenient or if they shift investment, causing disinvestment in the public transport system.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downs–Thomson_paradox

And that improving things for non-car users can actually make things better for drivers:

In no instantiation of the multiverse does the data show that focusing on car-centric development and private automobile transportation is more efficient, from a fiscal or energy point of view, or better for individuals' health and things like climate change.

Certainly roads are useful for commerce and trade, but personal transportation? Not so much.
