> What does it mean? Can you spell it out for me?

It's not the absence of information that tends to create difficulties; rather, it's when you firmly believe in something that is incorrect, which can lead to complications.

A real-world example can be found in the story of the Titanic, a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg. At the time, the Titanic was considered the largest and most luxurious ship ever built and was famously referred to as "unsinkable." This overconfidence in the ship's safety features led to several poor decisions, such as not providing enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew members on board.

The belief that the Titanic was unsinkable was incorrect, and when the ship struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage, it sank, causing the deaths of over 1,500 people. In this case, it was not the lack of knowledge about shipbuilding or navigation that led to the disaster, but the misplaced confidence in an incorrect assumption—that the Titanic was invulnerable to sinking. This overconfidence contributed to the inadequate safety measures and ultimately the tragic outcome.

Zapier's 100x LLM Opportunity
The robots will be able to work as electricians within less than 5 years.
The next few stops on this train will be interesting.

1. The first round of plugins that will connect CGPT to the cloud platforms in order to run code directly. Because there’s no need to copy/paste on my own machine. With cloud costs so cheap, why wouldn’t I just ask Chat to spin up running code over and over until it works? Token limits will continue to fall, as will AI costs.

2. The round of plugins that translate my questions/search into prompts that can do #1 for me. Because I don’t need a quarter-inch drill (running code), I need a quarter-inch hole (an answer to a question). Now we’re not only in the world of serverless, we’re codeless. (Can’t wait to hear people complain “but there’s code somewhere” while the business goes bust.)

3. The services that run autonomously, asking questions and gathering answers on my behalf. Because it benefits companies to know my preferences, take action to acquire goods for me, measure the results that I share, make inferences, and perform the next step without me asking, sometimes without me even knowing. As long as I’m happy and keep paying the bills. Or I should say, as long as my bank AI keeps paying for me. Now we’re in the agent cloud.

4. Then…
PiHole is local. You can docker it but you have some.. issues depending on configuration. AdGuard is a pihole like SaaS (that seems pretty good, it's the sort of thing I'd get for my mom).
Exactly. Why would you let a random person into your building if there was no answer who they worked for? Was it because they claimed to work for business and you blindly trusted they were doing what they said or did you have some heads up from your boss saying let them in? There must be more to this story or maybe op just didn’t care about random people entering and accessing equipment.

> age verification for the users.

Do you need to verify your age to perform a Google search?

I think "age verification" is just another "think of the children" ploy to force all websites to check their users' government IDs (starting with sites run by people whose politics are different from those of the government that's enacting the ploy).
The existence of the Steam Deck has been a huge boon for those of us who plan Steam games on regular Linux desktops as well. It seems like nearly every Steam game I'd want to play these days works, and not just from publishers like Paradox who make an effort at compatibility.
Think about this one:

The NSA is probably aware and/or can detect every corrupt cop in the country.

Certainly the financial corruption, they aren't stuffing cash into their mattresses.

Yet nothing is ever done with that data, even without using it for prosecution.
I've done this on many occasions, but I actually only go with a single nodes table.

Schema is like this

id
type: string (or enum)
data: jsonb
indexed: jsonb (but this one gets a GIN index)
toId: nullable foreign key to this same table
fromId: nullable foreign key to this same table
createdAt: date
updatedAt: date

So if I had a post with a comment on it, the data would look something like this

{
id: '1111',
type: 'users',
data: { name: 'John Doe' },
}

{
id: '2222',
type: 'users',
data: { name: 'Jane Doe' },
}

{
id: '3333',
type: 'posts',
data: { text: 'Nice day today' },
}

{
id: '4444',
type: 'comments',
data: { text: 'For you, maybe. Raining here' },
}

And now for the edges:

{
id: '5555',
type: '(posts < users)',
toId: '3333',
fromId: '1111',
}

{
id: '6666',
type: '(comments < users)',
toId: '4444',
fromId: '2222',
}

{
id: '7777',
type: '(posts < comments)',
toId: '3333',
fromId: '4444',
}

So then, for example, if I have a post, and I want to find the comments on it, I search for toId = <my post id>, type = '(posts < comments)'.
I don't see how this proves that asking the model about its internal state will reveal its inner high level processes in a human-readable way.

Perhaps there's a research paper which would explain it better?
In Czechia, we have a special agency that just investigates possible criminal activity of the police and similar agencies (such as the prison service or customs service).

They seem to be doing a sort-of OK job. There are quite a few cops in prison.

Regulators Urged: Reverse Trump-Era Weakening of Large Regional Bank Safeguards
I've been looking for something very similar to this for a while. Do you have a writeup for your setup? Also, how does Flatcar's immutability work? TFA mentioned that MicroOS is based on btrfs snapshots, but it didn't give any indication about how Flatcar worked (nor did the Flatcar GitHub readme). Do you know of any comparisons between Flatcar, CoreOS, and MicroOS? Also, any idea which of these work with Raspberry Pis?
.. time to get a huge userbase and then bought out?
Can someone shed light on these two steps in the approximation?

* since cos(x+y) ~ cos(x) - sin(x)*y
* ~ cos(x) - x*y,

For the first, maybe it's an approximate identity I'd never heard of?

For the second, it seems like it relies on X being small, but in this code... Y might be small enough for sin==identity approximation, but X isn't, is it?
> some legal experts who were definitely not Trump fans argue that it was not a case they would've brought

Legal experts or not, unless they have seen the evidence (incl witness testimony) and charges their speculation is as good as any internet commenter. I read a headline that there are 34 charges in the indictment, could be many unique ones or it could be one of those things like 34 wire fraud charges because there were 34 transactions from 34 accounts or whatever.

The Wasm target allows you to specify imports (basically "import component Foo { methods... }") and exports, so the resulting .wasm module has those declared imports/exports. There really isn't an FFI for other targets yet, but I get a lot of requests for that, so I am thinking of how to do this now. Probably, the native targets will support import/export and generate a .o that can be linked with C/C++ Rust using the normal linker.
This CDC site https://wisqars.cdc.gov/data/lcd/home says for the year 2020, the leading causes of death for those below age 45:
(a) for Whites, it is unintentional injury which includes overdoses and car accidents (b)for Blacks, it is also unintentional injury but homicide is significant (c) for Asian Pacific Islanders, it is unintentional injury, suicide, cancer, and congenital abnormalities.
The Deck seems pretty great even in its first gen, but I’ve been holding off for future revisions not for power (I’m aware that Valve intends to target its current performance level for the foreseeable future), but for a better screen and hopefully an APU manufactured on a smaller process node and thus offering the same performance while being cooler, quieter, and less energy hungry.

I don’t need crazy graphical settings (and as such, the Deck’s specs are fine) but I have a strong distaste for fan noise and short battery life, and the only way to get around those with some games right now is to turn settings down super low to the point of being an eyesore.

It would be be neat if Valve replaced its fan with one or two of those solid state cooling cards that got posted here a while ago. Seems like a perfect fit for that tech.
Hey! This looks awesome! Let me ask I did not see any pricing or any license info on the site. I was wondering what the pricing for this would look like for a team? Are you planning on keeping it free?
It is probably old fashioned fear mongering. Even if it isn't the end of the world, many Jobs will be 'impacted'. Jobs probably wont be gone gone, but still change, and change is scary. It is true that the GPTs have done some things so amazing that it is waking people up to an uncertain future. VFX artists are already being laid off, Nvidia just demonstrated tech to do a full VFX film using motion capture on your phone. There are other AI initiatives to do for sequence planning, and mapping out tasks that were done for other areas. Pretty soon there wont be an industry that isn't impacted.

But, no stopping it.
Sure, but an ex-FAANGer probably has a better shot at actually getting hired at another FAANG (when the job market improves) than someone who's only worked at no-name shops or local governments.
TV has plenty of material that is absolutely unsuitable "compared to the their degree of development and self-awareness."

The only protection they have is that they those materials are usually (but not always) available in certain hours and there is a nice warning before that says that the content is not appropriate for them.
I think you mean you want data to be free. In many situations I agree with you, but ascribing wishes or desires to the concept of data itself really isn't an argument of any substance.
Sea water processing has elastic power demands. If we power the grid off renewables, then we’ll barely have enough electricity on calm winter weeks.

That implies we’ll have more energy than we can use in the summer or on windy days.

Fusion or fission are useful for meeting inelastic demand when there isn’t enough production capacity. We need those too, but not for sea water processing.
My immediate answer is:

So? It's not like the customers didn't knew this was a REAL possibility. Given the track-record of Google and companies similar to Google, this was a known quantity even at that time.

It does ban the sale of videogames and movies though. Via the "age rating" mechanism.
It does not make the model smart, but it demonstrates our inablity to control it despite wanting it. That strongly suggests that it's not fully understood.
I have been thinking about this lately. Some games, like plateformers, feel better playing on the couch rather than sitting at a desk. But buying an entire new system just for these games feels wasteful.

Is there anything handheld with a decent screen and controls that could stream games from my gaming PC?
I do wonder what the ratio of genuine Linux gamers to opportunistic Linux cheaters is in the games which have enabled Proton anti-cheat support. If it skews too hard towards just being a crutch for cheaters then it's going to disincentivize developers from allowing Linux clients in competitive games going forwards.

Interesting - I had not come across coscreen before but I can see straight away how much better that would have been to use than any of slack, teams or discord all of which I’ve used previously for pair programming/on boarding etc. I could see value here also in brainstorming sessions where previously collaborating on a google doc etc.

I haven’t delved into what the pricing model is but presumably it won’t be free for 1on1 use forever but I can easily see the business subscription model working perhaps well enough for individuals to have free 1on1.

You are correct about the exponential rate of progress.

Clueless, to say the least.

Humans tasked with the same, having no extra information (aka context) will, on average, perform worse.

If an AI performs better than the average human, why should I hire you? Both err, one is orders of magnitude cheaper (and GPT4 performs overwhelmingly better). Don't call us; We'll call you.

Finally the market is correcting themself. Software engineers aren't worth more than any other engineers.
I wasn't comparing with solid state, I was comparing with computer emulations for tube saturation. I have owned all of tubes, solid state, and dsp based. But I would not buy hardware emulations anymore - I just do that on general purpose computers that don't depreciate to nothing and wind up in landfill.

My point is - you buy a tube amp (or quality hardware solid state that is not a computer on a surface mount pcb that no one can repair) and you will have it for decades or sell it at close to what you paid. Not at all the case for Line 6 style stuff.
What is the pricing model for this? I don't see any mention of cost anywhere on the site at first glance. When you download the gif shows a "Get CoScreen for Free" button.
Because the various police unions hold enormous power over city council, the DAs and the mayor.

Why would we do that? We can’t clear cut or build condos in those places either, but we still have wood and houses.

This isn't an accounting crime. He's entitled to account for it in a variety of legal ways.

It's a campaign finance disclosure crime. Either he properly classified and disclosed a campaign related expense, or he didn't.

The difference with your example is that you presumably aren't running for office, and hence aren't required to formally disclose campaign expenses.

The ad hominem attacks on the prosecutor also seem... desperate and distasteful. Trump has enough money to afford a good legal defense team -- why should the country be in the business of deciding who is too big to prosecute?

And I've read it.
Serious discussion deserves sparse contextual humor.
I'm not a tube guy normally (solid state forever!) but I do enjoy glow tubes (partially evacuated tubes that glow from plasma when turned on). I found an interesting project, "Build a Vacuum Tube Nightlight (http://www.grandideastudio.com/vacuum-tube-night-light/ and https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Consumer/Archive-Poptr...). It's a simple circuit to drive the tube from wall power, and an enclosure to keep the tube safe.

I learned that you can just buy nixie power supplies and adjust them to the strike voltage of the tube, which is a bit nicer than the custom circuit I linked. but be careful- you're either dealing with mains voltages or high DC voltage, both of which can be pretty painful if you make a mistake.

Ah yes- I remember the predecessor to this was VRML, which started out as mostly-static and then gained a number of scriptability nodes. at the time, it was still unclear how interactive, graphical web applications would be made, and it seemed like markup languages could gain scriptability (https://www.bitmanagement.de/developer/spec/vrmlscript/vrmls... so around 1996!)

SVG is a wonderful standard but it seemed pretty clear that all the scripting should be done in javascript, with SVG as an web element tag or document type.

Administrators are just doing what people in SF vote for - this idea and implementation of equity has been rolled into the set of positions one adopts as a progressive in CA, which is the only position to take unless you want to be socially ostracized. The ones who don't move away absolutely know they're sacrificing their kids. It's more popular though among this set to just skip having kids in the first place. Or to pay for private school, skip the consequences of this terrible idea, and let the people who can't afford that deal with them. I had my first of 4 kids at St. Lukes in the mission, but we moved out of the city before he was even a year old because of the schools.

You are pointing at "the complexity of wishes": if you have to specify what you want with computer-like precision, then it is easy to make a mistake.

In contrast, the big problem in the field of AI alignment is figuring out how to aim an AI at anything at all. Researchers certainly know how to train AIs and tune them in various ways, but no one knows how to get one reliably to carry out a wish. If miraculously we figure out a way to do that, then we can start worrying about the complexity of wishes.

Some researchers, like Eliezer and his coworkers, have been trying to figure out how to get an AI to carry out a wish for 20 years and although some progress has been made, it is clear to me, and Eliezer believes this, too, that unless AI research is stopped, it is probably not humanly possible to figure it out before AI kills everyone.

Eliezer likes to give the example of a strawberry: no one knows how to aim an AI at the goal of duplicating a strawberry down to the cellular level (but not the atomic level) without killing everyone. The requirement of fidelity down to the cellular level requires the AI to create powerful technology (because humans currently do not know how to achieve the task, so the required knowledge is not readily available, e.g., on the internet). The notkilleveryone requirement requires the AI to care what happens to the people.

Plenty of researcher think they can create an AI that succeeds at the notkilleveryone requirement on the first try (and of course if they were to fail on the first try, they wouldn't get a second try because everyone would be dead) but Eliezer and his coworkers (and lots of other people like me) believe that they're not engaging with the full difficulty of the problem, and we desperately wish we could split the universe in two such that we go into one branch (one future) whereas the people who are rushing to make AI more powerful go into the other.

The Steam Deck itself is like <20W. A Playstation 5 uses ~200W when playing games.

That's before thinking about what your TV power usage is. A Steam Deck could use its own screen within that <20W power envelope, while a Playstation or a docked Deck is going to probably use an extra 100-200W on a TV.

Responding here since it won't let me continue your thread any more.

No, there's a fundamental misunderstanding here. I'm not saying the model will tell you the truth about its internal state if you ask it (it absolutely will not.)

I'm saying it has no internal state, and no inner high level processes at all other than it's pre-baked, immutable parameters.
Your argument applies just as well to copying any book and selling it. But that's considered piracy and illegal. But when American tech giants copy it's legal. It should be the same for everyone.
Improvement on End-to-End Encryption May Lead to Silent Revolution
I can definitely relate to your experience. Just last week, I leveraged AI tools to develop some data processing code. Estimating how long it would have taken me to write that code without these tools is a challenge because, to be honest, a year ago I wouldn't have even considered attempting such a project. It might have required a week or even two of my time, which I simply cannot spare for this kind of undertaking. In the absence of these powerful AI tools, I would have opted for a more manual approach, like analyzing the data using Excel. It's fascinating to witness the impact AI has on our productivity and the expansion of possibilities it brings.
