Show of hands: how many people check internet archive before buying a book vs checking for a 2.99 kindle copy before buying directly from the publisher? (as if you wouldn't buy the print copy from Amazon -- who strong arms the publishers into unsustainable prices). To be fair this is a distribution problem not a copyright issue. The claim is not that internet archive is taking credit for writing the books. They're distributing them for free. Scapegoating internet archive won't fix the bad deals with the largest distributors that are causing way more damage to their bottom line. The publishers have been screwed way worse by lax regulation, than someone distributing their books on a website most people use to look at websites archived from 20 years ago.

What we need is a RETRO style model where basically after the input you go through a small net that just fetches a desired set of weights from a server (serving data without compute is dirt cheap) and is then executed locally. We’ll get there eventually

Having worked at similar companies on similar systems usually A/B experiments and smaller probability of an action bigger weight it must have to matter much overall. The constants are generally done through some ab tests to get them into reasonable overall behavior but they are a pain to tune and very unlikely optimal in any real sense as it’s often too difficult to do extensive search of them. Like often I’ll see new target have a couple different weights tried on an ab and then maybe second set of experiments after rough magnitude is determined.

> Singaporean law forbids their citizens and residents from using drugs in other countries.

The problem is with that law being applied to non-residents. If Singapore wants to police it's citizens lik that, it's fine.

But to arrest a Canadian because they smoked weed a couple of days before arriving at Singpore customs, where it's legal in Montreal where they were?

It doesn't matter who invented it. Bad is bad. That's my point.

> most people seem to [...] ignore historical context and complain why something wasn't done ~20 years ago

Historical context isn't completely irrelevant—if the question is how something came to be. People complaining aren't complaining about that, though. They're complaining that it's bad, no matter how it came to be. It's not wrong to do so, and it's weird to say you don't get why they would. "Because it's bad" is why. That's sufficient enough to have a complaint, and anything else is irrelevant.

My impression is that most of the short-term danger is from AI researchers residing in the US (and of the remainder, most reside in Britain).

But even if that were not true, as a US citizen, even if there is nothing I can do about my getting killing by, e.g., Chinese AI researchers, I'm still going to work hard to prevent the AI researchers living in my own country from ending the human race. I'm responsible for doing my part in the governance of my own country, they told me in high school.

I see no good solution to this problem, no path to safety, but that does not mean I am not going to do what I can.
Terrible windows laptops are just terrible laptops, but seeing my Asus G14 side by side next to a macbook pro doesn't really leave me wanting for anything.

Its about the same size. The screen, keyboard, trackpad... all comparable. It has more ports. The cooling system in the G14 blows the mac away, hence it can run passively and sip battery just piddling around the desktop.

The mac has 3 big advantages as far as I can tell:

- Power efficiency under heavy GPU/AI loads. If you even sniff the dGPU in a PC, you can kiss your battery goodby.

- A large RAM pool for GPU/AI stuff.

- No fussing around with different power settings/fan profiles for different situations.

As for the PC laptop

- It has a huge gaming advantage

-"native nvidia" is often easier for ML stuff.

Software differences are a whole other can of worms.

Both definitions are correct.

From Wikipedia:

> Neurotoxicity is a form of toxicity in which a biological, chemical, or physical agent produces an adverse effect on the structure or function of the central and/or peripheral nervous system. It occurs when exposure to a substance – specifically, a neurotoxin or neurotoxicant– alters the normal activity of the nervous system in such a way as to cause permanent or reversible damage to nervous tissue.

Brain cells getting killed is a normal process, you could call it pruning. Cells grow back, you know!
Because it implies the "climate crisis" is a real thing. For some it surely is, others - me among them - see this differently. Time will tell who got it right but just the fact that the media more or less dropped the "climate" scare when SARS2 hit the front pages should give those who are in the former camp something to think about. Only when it became clear that there was no more to be gained from pushing SARS2 scare stories did they return to the climate narrative. A LLM which has been trained to push "climate crisis" will end up producing agitprop [1] instead of objective output. The same would be true for a model which has been trained to deny anything related to climate change but thus far I have not seen any call for such training methods to be used.

Yes, the Constitution limits state govts as well, a slight misstatement written in a hurry.

Your obtuse pedantry is not useful. Particularly when it appears you still have missed the main point of the previous statement—that the Constitution limits government, not citizens.

Also, these laws restrict children, not adults as you're suggesting. Basically this whole subthread is irrelevant. Good day.

Assuming the chains can reach an equilibrium point (i.e. burn in) quickly, M samples from an MCMC can be parallelized by running N chains in parallel each for M/N iterations. You still end up with M total samples from your target distribution.

You’re only out of luck if each iteration is too compute intense to fit on one worker node, even if each iteration might be embarrassingly parallelizable, since the overhead of having to aggregate computations across workers at every iteration would be too high.

Yep, grew up in that area in a house w/ a heat pump. However it also had oil furnace (aka diesel) to supplement as it’d get down in the teens during coldest parts of winter. Also stacked, dried, carried in and burned a fair amount of firewood growing up.
I 90% agree, but also, there's a ton of informational & sensors & systems that need control. With physical knobs/dials/switches/buttons disappearing, the main console now has a lot more obligations than just infotainment like it used to, and it's not clear that letting a phone run the show is really viable with what's afoot, given the scope of systems the display has to control. Wait, sorry. It's not clear how we'd get sufficient data to the phone to let it try. We just don't have clear starting places to let the phone act as a good puppet-master over such an expansive complex multi-screened roving multi-functional device.

This is actually a very interesting ubiquitous & pervasive computing challenge. If we do want to let the phone be the main thing in control, it has to access & orchestrate a lot more systems than it has.

Back in 2012, the BMW/Land Rover/Jaguar folk (I think they were one entity then?) car-maker had started making interesting demos based on an already longstanding very interesting user-first user-sovereign ubicomp project, Webinos (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webinos, still a halcyon model of what connected-computing might have been (but with almost no uptake)), & were making really interesting API-based integrations, over effectively VPN networks directly to their cars. I don't remember whether things like HVAC control or lighting were integrated (I suspect so), but there were definitely a lot of examples of radar/lidar integration, engine information (tach, fuel remaining, battery voltages, et cetera). This >10 year old example is by far the most pro-user most open-possibility system we've ever done, by a country mile. https://www.wired.com/2012/10/bmw-webinos/

One of the most interesting things to me was just a couple short years latter, 2015, with the Jeep hack. The emphasis was that someone could gain access to your car network & do bad things, but this was the first time we'd ever gotten a real peak into a car network & it was fascinating. The often-underlying QNX OS it turns out- even though it is not Linux- runs a bog-standard-ish FreeDesktop DBus service bus, and all car systems are exposed over DBus. ALL car services. So like, one could fully automate & script their own car, via the Jeep hack (which IIRC typically required some physical access to break in via). It would be utterly trivial to script a bunch of nice lighting & sound effects, to roll back the moon-roof & dynamically set a mild thumping VU meter lighting, to dynamically roll the EQ low & high,... the possibilities were so open, over such a common well known easy to control system. The Jeep Hack was the most exciting look at what life could be like, but it was mostly used to sell Fear Uncertainty & Doubt, to insure even less people had access to cars.

Somewhere someplace sometime this trend needs to turn around. Somewhere someplace sometime we need to start figuring out how to pipe relevant systems to the user's agent. Rather than forever letting the car take-over more and more, forever reducing agency, forever shrinking what is possible.

Simple example: using advanced security in GitHub Enterprise with dependabot, it understands our usage of actions and their depndencies - it can understand that action workflow X depends on Y and there's a new version. But if we use a docker image in those workflows, hosted in GitHub packages, it isn't able to understand that.

This is a fairly basic case I would have expected to work - but it doesn't. For anything C++ or more complex examples it's less useful... And dependabot is no longer extensible so this can't even be solved by using open source additions.

Currently looking at things like Mend's Renovate as an alternative
> What is the "deep reasoning" that leads one to the conclusion that a language model is capable of any kind of insight?

That almost all of the failures one notices with them are failures to drag along and maintain/update state? To me, that's just a lack of scaffolding. If LLMs can't add, give them calculators.

I feel outdated even saying this. Certainly people are quickly coming up with dozens of elaborate ways for LLMs to build and update state. They're just not releasing them.

Its convenient that any valid criticism of ChatGPT or GPT3 or $CURRENT_TECH is dismissed by saying "just pay OpenAI money to use the new thing™, it doesnt have this issue".

If it was not a ChatGPT Plus offering but instead freely available, there would be way fewer shills for it (im assuming) and there would be a lot more balanced reporting on it. By default, anyone speaking to the competence of GPT-4 is willing to give OpenAI money, which may already be sign of a bias.

Im not willing to pay for a product the free tier of which is shit, even when told a hundred times "no but the paid one is MUCH better!". Of course it probably is, but its a little irrelevant.

The os itself eats much more of the resources than linux running on the same hardware. Macos is a "bigger" operating system (more parts) and they all want memory and cycles. Linux is positively anorexic in comparison :)

It will also depend on how good you are at switching your "muscle memory" at the keyboard. But this is the same for all three of the main oses (linux, macos and windows). It can be very frustrating when you hit a keystroke combination and either it does nothing or something completely different

I disagree. I'm a physicalist, so I believe consciousness/qualia emerges from physical processes in the brain. It's absolutely possible for a computer be conscious provided it implements the right kind of computational process. Ultimately, whether or not a system is conscious is an empirical question that neuroscience will be able to answer once we have the right theoretical framework and tools for measuring the relevant variables.

I don't know what you mean by it being a BS definition of sentience. It's a technical term invented by philosophers to mean a specific thing. If you don't like it, use a different word.

Sure, but the problem is that there is not enough of a young population to support the older population. So if the life expectancy drops because younger people are dying more, that just makes the inbalance even worse, with the population being even more top heavy.
I guess it depends on what you want it to do. If the goal is "output random strings of text between 10-15 characters," obviously that's easy to validate. But if you ask it to "output random Italian male names" then that's much harder to validate.

Although I see what you mean about unconstrained inputs. If you can give it any number as an input then it's going to be difficult to validate, except at the most superficial level, eg "input 10, generates 10 items matching the expected constraint."

I am skeptical that any real use case wouldn't effectively mean writing the validation code is as much work as just writing a single implementation (and testing it) in the first place.
I retired in my 20s. It's a fun novelty, but it wore off quickly. Your friends and family aren't around in most of your free time, and those things you used to enjoy in your limited free time now can't stretch to fill the new 10+ hours a day you have.

All those leaks contribute to the externalities of natural gas. I don't know the relative contributions between extraction and distribution, but leaks in the distribution network are also a problem in Europe [1]. It's certainly true that extraction leaks can be so substantial as to make shale gas worse than coal [2] (twice worse over 20 years!).

Landfills (and agriculture) are big sources of methane. I think this is a pretty good start to figure out what the EU is doing to reduce all sources [3].
