academic for CS maybe. Not so much for chemistry, biology etc. If you work in computation areas of those subjects you are more likely to know matlab, R, python and maybe Julia.

I didn't know of anybody who had done any Lisp or Ocaml in my time in academia (in chemistry, chemical engineering and biology departments), but that's just 3 universities, and i certainly didn't know everybody.

If you take Carlin's quote in isolation you can interpret what he says purely in terms of the physical planet remaining. But if you listen to the whole act the quote's taken from, it's clear that by "planet" Carlin means "biosphere", and that his stance is anti-conservationist.

I've been doing the same. Apart from sometimes changing the meaning of sentences, it does a pretty good job at improving the message one is trying to convey.

In my case I'm recording notes while exercising on my bike, so there's wind and friction and breathing, then I transcribe them with Whisper, do try to filter out things that don't make much sense (where the temperature, compression_ratio, avg_logprob and/or no_speech_prob are not acceptabe).

Since I start recording at will and don't prepare the sentence to be recorded, the recording is a bit chaotic, and ChatGPT does a good job in correcting Whisper's mistakes and transforming the sentences.

But, as I said, sometimes this fails and the real message gets lost.

I would find amusement if the solution to the spamming of npm turns out to be a genuinely useful use case for blockchain.
It's a fair question, most JS libraries I've discovered weren't directly accessed with Google -> npmjs.com but instead from the library's own page, GitHub, Hacker News, etc.

If I Google a library and end up on npmjs.com I usually just click on a link to the library's repository or home page first.

Of course, it would disenfranchise a bit, but what is another option?
Google accused Microsoft Bing of using them for page rankings a few years ago. Setup a sting to show that when you searched for something unique on Google using MS Explorer, shortly afterwards the same search result would start showing up on Bing.

This was seen as deeply embarrassing for Microsoft at the time.

There's an argument that foreign policy should override domestic politics when dealing with adversarial powers we elect our officials to stand up against. It's not a popular view, because few Americans pay attention to or care about foreign affairs. Under the condition where a foreign power has broadly infiltrated our social systems with a Trojan horse, I think there are rational ways to preserve the First Amendment while targeting the offending social/information virus. This law isn't that, but it probably won't pass and large parts of it would definitely would be struck down by the courts if it did.

Whatever "many people already think," though, it's the responsibility of our government to defend the country from adversaries. That should be done in a way thay doesn't undermine the rights of Americans... but it has to be done or those rights would cease to exist.

TikTok harvesting data and manipulating opinion from a foreign throne is incompatible with having a populace free and unencumbered to make wise and rational decisions to self-govern. Without which all other speech disappears.

>ADHD is probably the problem under this behaviour.

Whether this is the case quickly becomes apparent by working closely in tandem with the person, e.g. pair programming. It will be obvious within the first few minutes whether the person simply cannot hold a train of thought for as long as the problem requires. As you write, there are concrete ways of addressing this.

On the other hand, it is also obvious when the lack of productivity stems not from a lack of focus but simply not having a mind suited to the job. I’ve seen people focus intently for hours to complete a task that would take most others on the team a few minutes, and not for lack of knowledge or training; their brain simply worked at a much slower speed. There is nothing that can be done to rectify this. These are thus the hardest people to empathetically fire, since you’re basically letting them go for not being smart enough for the job, despite being an extremely diligent worker.
If they simulate a massive enough neural net, fast enough with real time inputs/outputs, on a long enough time-frame, what to do if it becomes self-conscious?

Pulling the plug would be brutal murder.

That said, it seems it is nearly impossible, even for a supercomputer to get close to the "size"/"speed" of one human brain which seems to be the basic requirements for consciousness to emerge.
As a developer, I want npm package information and docs to show up in search. I frequently prefer pypi or cran results over others because then I can easily tell if it’s a usable package vs just some snippet.

Especially cran because it has pretty rigorous entry requirements so being in cran is a signal of at least some minimal quality.
Somewhat surprised to not see any mention of the Flair lineup so far. I’ve had mine for years now and adore it.

I think you might be surprised. I would say Rust isn't notoriously difficult per se, it's just harder to please the compiler. But that's still viewing the compiler as an adversary when it's more like an assistant, so the analogy breaks down. You don't have to be a 100x engineer to use Rust. In fact, quite the opposite. Rust gives engineers a lot more guardrails to prevent what would be runtime errors in other languages.
That's not exactly a great number to show if you don't know the percentage of people going to trial who are guilty in the first place.

If you know you did the crime, you know they've got proof, you have an option to take a plea deal that's less than the costs of losing the court case, wouldn't you take it?
Injunction on which grounds? Even if OpenAI had copyright over ChatGPT output (which is not at all clear), Google isn't distributing those, they just trained a model on them. So from a copyright perspective there's nothing to complain about. Unless OpenAI would want to argue that you need rights to your training data, but something tells me that that's not in their best interest.
I don't get this sentiment.

For some cases sure, if it repurposes your code that ignores the license fine. But it's rarely wholesale copying. It's finding patterns same as anyone studying the code base would do.

As for the majority of content written on the internet through reddit or some social media, what's the harm in ingesting that? It's an incredibly useful tool that will add huge value to everyone. It's relatively open, cheap and highly available. It's worth to it's owners is only a fraction of the value it will add to society. It has the chance to have as big of an impact on progress as something like the microprocessor.

I agree it's free game for other llms to use gpt output as training data and that's positive. Although it signals desperation and panic that the largest "ai first" company with more data than any org in history is caught so flat footed and has to rely on it.

Do you really think it would be a better world in which a large LLM would never be able to be developed?
People built detectors for GPT texts. If you want to make such accusations, especially casting suspicion on a whole thread, you should back it up with that. Otherwise you're the equivalent of a foreign troll that seeks to sow fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
Even more tick tocks? China wasn't part of the deal, it was a bunch of other nations that aren't China, and trade with them is almost entirely great.
I think most people already understand "saving the planet" to be a figure of speech, a synecdoche where "the planet" means life, humanity, our world's hospitable climate, etc.
TikTok's servers are still in the USA so the NSA still has the ability to snoop. I assume they're annoyed that after it hits US servers, it's exfilled into china.
> What do you use 9 3D printers for?

I’m probably going to start pairing that back, in fairness, and sell off 3 or 4 Creality printers in the near future. The reason they were useful is they were decently reliable and “good enough” and the multiples of the same were to run jobs in parallel. With the massive speed up from the Bambu Lab X1 and the better likelihood of a consistent print experience, I don’t need to have as many parallel prototyping runs. The other remaining printers have characteristics that make them worth keeping (huge print beds, different tech as in SLA resin, or simply sentimental value).
Hmm, I thought it was illegal in the EU to advertise a shipping date and then change it after the customer has already paid.
Looks impressive! Especially for real-time.

What kind of hardware does it expect, and what's the FPS? (I know that performance may be far from what the architecture allows at this early stage.) What kind of API is it using: DX12? Metal? OpenGL? I did not seem to be able to find it mentioned.
From my experience cryptocurrencies are helping countries overcome that. But still, money wouldn't be a solution for this issue.
we had the Human cloning moratorium
https://www.science.org/content/article/biologists-adopt-clo...

I am not an expert, does anyone know how that one worked out?

Asked ChatGPT

> Did the Human cloning moratorium work?

Yes, the Human Cloning Moratorium did work. It was initially established in 2002 and renewed in 2020 to Ban All forms of Human Reproductive Cloning as well as Research into Human Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer. Despite certain scientific advances and proposals for legislative reforms, reproductive cloning of humans continues to be prohibited under the terms of the moratorium.

> Where there any violations?

Violations of the Human Cloning Moratorium have been reported. In 2011, Chinese Scientists claimed to have successfully cloned a human embryo, though the scientist has since denied any involvement in this experimentation. Additionally, reports have suggested that a company in the United States has been attempting to clone a human, though these reports have not been confirmed. As such, these potential instances of human cloning have not been considered violations of the moratorium.

> But you just said that the moratorium did work, isn't there a contradiction between you second and your first statement?

There is no contradiction between the two statements. While violations of the moratorium have been reported, the moratorium as a whole is still in effect and has been successful in prohibiting reproductive cloning of humans. The occasional violations of the moratorium do not indicate that the moratorium has been unsuccessful in achieving its purpose.

> So will we see a war between clones and robots?

No, there is no indication that a war between clones and robots will occur. The Human Cloning Moratorium does not place any restrictions on the development of robotics or artificial intelligence, and so the development of these technologies is not expected to lead to a conflict between the two.

China threatens to invade one of our allies every week, this isn't a false monster, it's an obvious truth.

And it's barely cold anymore, trying to actively supplying Russia who is at war with Ukraine today.

And I think you should take a closer look at what happened in the 1950s. If you read your history the Soviets were slightly more than an imaginary threat.

What's the problem with McCarthyism the fact that the Soviet Union was a wonderful great place? No.

None of this applies to something where China literally owns the company. The reason half of Eastern Europe is free today is the fact that we were able to successfully cut the Soviets off of much of global trade. Do the same for China.

When corporations have pricing power they are legally obligated to the share holders to maximize profits.

It's unfortunate everyone agrees on the situation.

- wage inflation due to limited workers because of aging population, limited immigration, low birth rates, skills gaps, geography gaps, .

We have paid parental leave split between mother and father, in total about one year. Add in some vacation time and unpaid leave and you can stretch it a a few months. After that most kids attend day care from around year 1 or 2 and both parents go back to work. Many families let one of the parents work reduced hours so the kids can be picked up earlier or stay home one day of the week or whatever. I feel this is close to perfect for both kids and parents.

Google has a policy against using APGL internally, nor in your company equipment[0].

The primary risk presented by AGPL is that any product or service that depends on AGPL-licensed code, or includes anything copied or derived from AGPL-licensed code, may be subject to the virality of the AGPL license. This viral effect requires that the complete corresponding source code of the product or service be released to the world under the AGPL license.

I've created a little tool to do a semantic search of the books on Read This Twice. I'm using Open AI embeddings to create vectors from the book descriptions and user reviews, which I then store in Pinecone. Whenever a user makes a search request, it's vectorized and then used to search Pinecone.
The quote you’re thinking of is from computer scientist and researcher Stuart Russell:

"The point of [AI alignment] is to ensure that the machines we create will be aligned with human values. And the reason we have to worry about it is that if we create machines that are more intelligent than we are, it's quite possible that those machines will have goals that are not aligned with our goals. In fact, they may not have any goals at all that we can understand or influence. This is the so-called 'provably unfriendly' scenario, where the machine has no motivation to do what we want, but is able to prevent us from interfering with its goals. The problem is that if we build machines that are provably unfriendly, then we will never be able to build machines that are 'provably friendly', because the unfriendly machines will always be able to prevent us from proving that they are friendly."
Let's say you want to run this completely locally with Whisper and a fine-tuned LLaMA model. It there a real-time TTS that would be a good fit? The Readme only lists cloud services for TTS (text-to-speech).

Hello there,

I'm working on an android app that allows you to quickly create your running plan by cloning previous weeks and making distance adjustments, updating your plan after any injury, inserting no running and recovery weeks, and following a checklist to avoid missing warm-ups.

I’d appreciate any feedback on the app. More specifically, I would like to know how intuitive the user interface is, and what UI changes would make it a better app.

Thanks for your feedback!

Coming from the paper on Verse Calculus and having watched Simon Peytonjones’ talk last year I was super excited to try Verse in UEFN last week. Much to my dismay instead of a rich functional language I was met with something that looked like a DSL with python inspired syntax. As I played with the language I couldn’t stop thinking about “choice” and the other feature of verseMax I felt I was missing out on but after making a few toy maps I realized that epic had released a language entirely meant for the public. Reading Verse can be accomplished by anyone who can write a python for loop. The language is VERY accessible.

From the comments below I can see a lot of people are turned away by the idea of FP and this language was clearly meant to address those concerns. The type system is interesting from a high level view but for non-coders I can see how it would make sense.

For instance writing `if var = int` looks perfectly reasonable for someone who has never programmed before and it just works in verse.

So all in all while I was upset on a personal level at what Epic has released, I hope it is a stepping stone to their overall goal of verseMax. Furthermore I am excited at the idea of millions of people (kids) learning functional programming as their first language and think this iteration of verse may just be the perfect gateway drug.

> Employers in the US don't care about giving people the opportunity to improve, it's more about documenting the underperformance so there is an airtight case against the employee - nobody can claim a protected reason if the underperformance is very well documented.

Actually, these efforts often don't help much. As a rule, if you find yourself doing elaborate cover-your-ass excessive, you probably are doing something very systematically wrong. I've seen plenty of situations where the well-meaning managers documented everything, did the whole document poor performance, and a single deposition of a manager made it clear that the entire process used to document and remedy under-performance was simply collusion to fire someone for a protected reason... even though in reality, it was not. It goes kind of like this:

"So after four years of not a single entry in ___'s file, suddenly a poor review and a complicated PIP?" "____ just wasn't fitting in on the team."

"Hmm. _____ is the only _____ on the team, despite _____'s race/religion being ___% of the population. All hires made after you became manager were (insert manager's race/religion/sex). No other employees on your team are on PIPs. So, why is it that ___ wasn't fitting in?"

"I can haz consult with lawyer now?" (followed by settlement for 2x manager's salary)

In either case only paying $40,000 for disclosing an exploit like this sends a clear message from Microsoft. They don't take their user's security seriously.
