Yudkowsky makes this distinction. Stockfish is not always correct: it can be beaten by next year’s Stockfish for example. In some sense it is making mistakes all the time. It’s just that those mistakes are not accessible to us humans. It is operating in a much higher plane of understanding compared to us.

A “mistake” to stockfish looks like: I searched 30 ply down but my opponent searched 35 ply down and found a superior sequence of moves.

For stockfish to make the kinds of chess mistakes that humans make, it would similar to if I failed to calculate 123+123=246. It’s not that 123+123 is particularly easy on the grand scale of intelligence: animals cannot do it. But it’s completely inconceivable that I could make that kind of mistake.
> For the couple of fringe months where a heat pump can actually heat your house

Heat pumps can heat throughout the entire winter in most of New England. The idea that they can’t keep up when it gets cold just isn’t true with new technology.

New England had a day and a half or so this earlier this year where temperatures got as low as -10F (F, not Celsius). Afterwards a newspaper did an informal poll of heat pump owners. The overwhelming majority (IIRC 90%) of respondents said their heat pumps kept up fine. Keep in mind not all of these installs were the latest and greatest tech either.
In comparison, it shows that merely showing your face but otherwise not solving the problem, can be even worse.

> Do folks realize that walking somewhere in a city is like running a gauntlet to some of the population?

Which is more of a reason to have more people walk: the more people in area going hither and thither the less isolated and vulnerable a person will feel.

People often feel most vulnerable when they feel isolated, which is what happens on a lifeless street. If a street has a sidewalk cafes, bars, restaurants, and people waiting in lines to get into clubs, then there is a feeling of community.
I use google take out to do a dump of email and back up the download file. In order to clear out a bunch of space on my gmail account, I did a full export and then deleted conversations based on date. I ended up having to use a script which ran over a few days, due to limits on how fast I could access messages. This was all to avoid signing up for a paid account.

Free to use any regulated currency. Crypto is completely unregulated and too volatile to be used as a currency. It will be made illegal very quickly in a few years time, we already have India and China clamping down so you won't have to wait that long.

Inevitably, we will see when the governments of the world band together to push crypto into the dark web and you'll never be able to cash out your crypto tokens into the real world through exchanges.

I don't know how much "hidden" knowledge there is in AI research. In biotech stuff, those can make or break an experiment easily and there is just so many of them and they are all trivial when known but absolutely critical. Some of them actually has zero reason to exist but they still exist, similar to a block of legacy code that was commented as "do not remove, shit breaks when removed". Nobody knows why and everybody just follow it religiously.

So the same approach may or may not work for AI. Forcing stuff to go underground in AI research may not hinder them that much...

"Could LLM eventually replace Google"

If you try to use LLMs as a Google replacement you're going to run into problems pretty quick.

LLMs are better thought of as "calculators for words" - retrieval of facts is a by-product of how they are trained, but it's not their core competence at all.

LLaMA at 4bit on my laptop is around 3.9GB. There's no way you could compress all of human knowledge into less than 4GB of space. Even ChatGPT / GPT-4, though much bigger, couldn't possible contain all of the information that you might want them to contain.

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-... "ChatGPT Is a Blurry JPEG of the Web" is a neat way of thinking about that.

But... it turns out you don't actually need a single LLM that contains all knowledge. What's much more interesting is a smaller LLM that has the ability to run tools - such as executing searches against larger indexes of data. That's what Bing and Google Bard do already, and it's a pattern we can implement ourselves pretty easily: https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/python-react-pattern

The thing that excites me is the idea of having a 4GB (or 8GB or 16GB even) model on my own computer that has enough capabilities that it can operate as a personal agent, running searches, executing calculations and generally doing really useful stuff despite not containing a great deal of detailed knowledge about the world at all.
I've noticed the post pandemic crazy driving anecdotally as well and it's alarming. Lots more tailgating, lane changing where they almost clip you and driving really fast while passing on the right.

I think defensive driving is becoming more important as well and I worry far more about driving at night, as people get more erratic, than I used to.
Other countries, including the U.S. and European countries regulate who and who cannot come into their borders all the time. Youre entirely free to smoke weed and not visit Singapore. Who are you to dictate what laws they set on their own soil?

Re sucide: you should probably fact check that, because the criminality of suicide was recently repealed in Singapore.

But even if it wasnt, I find your stance hyperbolic considering lots of countries still criminalize suicide. Places in the U.S. considered suicide criminal all the way up to the 90s.
Btw, you can still access Discord on a laptop no? This was my plan: when I work (on my laptop), I use all the latest and greatest, Electron-powered wasm scripts running LLMs on a blockchain through VR goggles - but when I close the lid, I am back to a baseline 2000-ish calls and light texting only mode.

Yeah I’d say more specifically that general first principles understanding of different areas and the ability to think about systems / architecture / general logic is very useful.

Even if you lived out in the kanto plain where the trains came before the highways, its not like people are taking the bullet train to the grocery store thats a 5 min drive with the car you already own. Few places on earth are so dense where the car is actually a consistently losing bet when you account for all your trips. I’m not even sure what building for transit rather than car would look like for a semi urban or rural area, considering the transit with the lowest capital investment, the bus, is also benefited by car oriented development like a road network with more connections between nodes. Even in the times before a car, some people had a horse or mule to essentially play the role of a car today, of an instant express bus.
Various issues, drivers, apps, updates etc.. I actually managed to get it working perfectly for me at some stage but a power outage ruined that. I probably still can get it working perfectly if I want to get down the rabbit hole. But unfortunately, I no longer have the energy to do so. I still do clean install every year or so to check how it goes, but you know, I no longer can spend weeks on just trying to get something working.
Excellent question and not one I’ve bothered to solve, and you’ve pointed out a gaping hole in my backup plan.

If I had to decide now, I’d say setting up a server that pulls my email in with IMAP and saves it to a backup drive. Of course that means making sure spam and marketing emails I don’t want aren’t backed up, so maybe I mark them somehow as back up targets?

It’s an excellent question and I don’t have a good answer. And it’s worth pointing out that emails are just as important as photos when you think of correspondence from friends, family, business contracts, attachments, links and their contents, etc to forever. The network effect is very real and I’m not sure how to handle all of that.

I disagree. I don't mean that Ryzen 5800U lied about its stats or something, but the totality of the systems based on Ryzen 5800U is at best competitve with Intel systems and at worst Intel would look better. Unfortunately, the tuning that Apple have done is significant (more power-efficient screen, speakers and other assorted hardware that you would usually ignore).

Also, even ignoring all of that, Apple M series are basically the only option for a resonably functional ARM device. I acknowledge Chromebook can be effectively transformed into Linux, but their focus on price shows.
No, he's talking about the very recent spam explosion in the YT comments, and how a dude manged to build an actual counter to that when YT hasn't really done anything on that front. I guess spam decreased since the peak of 3 months ago, but it's still a massive problem. And again, this is in the past few months, and has nothing to do with the improvements to the yt comment algo changes of the past few years.

If you're not periodically checking the data for corruption, and only moving from a single drive to a replacement single drive, eventually you'll have some corrupted data which gets copied from drive to drive without you noticing.

4 TB drives are dirt cheap. If someone would really be "lost" without this data, having some redundancy would be inexpensive and easy.

Well, only if you don't count the filesystem cache as "RAM". You still need enough memory so that the kernel can hold all these pages, even if Llama.cpp is not using this memory itself.

SpaceX went through a similarly fragile stage where it nearly went bankrupt before it turned things around and managed to get the Falcon 9 going.

How do you suggest sharing these with interested investors in simple terms? They are in power position with money and think they understand better.
That's a fair point; I was simply trying to paraphrase the FT article in pointing out the importance of "social factors" (including diet/obesity/etc. leading to cardiovascular disease) in explaining US life expectancy and picked the three examples they used. I hadn't seen the chart you linked.

I still think drugs, guns, and accidents are worth specifically highlighting even if they aren't the single biggest driver of this disparity in life expectancy. I'd wager that most people are aware of America's obesity epidemic, but they might not realize the extent to which these three (big) factors make the US unlike it's peers. I certainly didn't.
With all the AI discussion of late I've been thinking more about the alignment problem.

Like, let's say you have a true AGI that's completely superior to human intellect AND you've found a way to align this thing. Can those alignment techniques also be used on the lesser mind of humanity?

"Oh don't worry. Alignment is probably achievable by how we build the AGI."

Yeah I mean maybe. Or maybe it turns out alignment is only possible at all if it works generally on anything with 'intelligence'.

My suspicion is that alignment is either not possible because an intelligent agent can always do something just because. Or we're going to have to worry about whoever wins the alignment race aligning the rest of us.
For now we've just shown how measuring memory consumption can be tricky at times.

I actually think there is something to this. The oldest people tend to be holding tons in wealth and assets, making things like houses unaffordable. People working longer before retirement means that job openings and promotions are repressed for younger people. All of these things mean younger people don’t hit the societal milestones at the times they’re meant to hit them which causes anxiety, depression, hopelessness. These things increase the likelihood of drug use, criminality and suicide.
I'm not sure. I do remember a friend with a Tandy 1000 and CompuServe having email back then.

> The answer is “No”, because he has not been convicted in federal court, there is nothing to pardon him of.

I don't think that's right – the US President can pardon someone for a federal crime which they haven't even been charged with yet. Ford pardoned Nixon even though he hadn't been charged with any federal crime, and that was sufficient to bar any future federal prosecution of Nixon for the crimes to which the pardon applied.

However, from what I understand, the state charge is not that he violated federal election laws, but rather he committed the state crime with the intention of violating federal election laws. So, they don't need to prove he actually committed a federal crime, only that he committed a state crime with the intention of committing a federal crime, even if he never actually committed the federal crime which (they allege) he was intending to commit. Which is probably why any federal pardon would be legally irrelevant. However, it likely does give the federal courts greater grounds on which to hear an appeal than they normally would in a state criminal case – if a state court concludes that Trump intended to do X, and that X is a federal crime, federal appellate courts could always rule that X is not a federal crime (whether or not Trump did it), thereby destroying the legal theory behind the state conviction.

> However it does raise the question: Is it proper to convict someone of a state crime based on “criminality” where the criminality is a federal crime that they have not been convicted of in federal court? It seems unlikely.

Personally, I think people are going to look back on this as a big mistake on Alvin Bragg's part – charging Trump on what appears to be a highly technical and complex legal theory, for acts which in themselves were on the low end of criminal severity. Trump is likely to beat this one way or another, which will help his narrative of "I'm being persecuted by left-wing prosecutors".

If you believe Trump is guilty of far worse offences (such as trying to overturn the result of a democratic election), you don't want to see that narrative being given legs, since it may make it harder for prosecutors to win if they bring those more serious charges. It is even possible that this might lead to the Republican party uniting behind Trump and guaranteeing him the nomination–what happens if Trump wins in 2024 (whether fairly or unfairly)? Future historians may come to see this as a key event in helping make that happen. In hindsight, people might come to see Alvin Bragg as having unintentionally done Trump a big favour.

> In any case, I believe all of this is just media speculation and presumably there will be more clear-cut charges in the real indictment.

My impression this is not mere "speculation", rather leaks coming from insiders who know what is in the sealed indictment, making it more likely to be true – but of course, with any leaks, there is always the chance they are inaccurate in some way. We'll see.

One flaw I've noticed in Twitter's recommendations recently is the tendency to send notifications for "BREAKING NEWS"-type Tweets. Great, except they're usually for news that happened in the past - typically 12-24 hours ago!
