Interesting, thanks!

Also, it's funny (and probably not accidental) that it's also called Pesaha, which is basically the name for the Hebrew/Jewish celebration from which Christian Easter is derived.

I have never used openscad, but from what I understand there would be 2 major differences. The first is the geometry engine. Openscad uses a mesh modeler, where cadseer uses boundary representation(opencascade). The second is the user interface. Openscad uses code/script to drive the model generation where cadseer uses user interaction to build a model generating dependency graph.

Cadseer is not better for stamping dies. That is just my background. I think cad is getting more into specialized industries now that the foundational stuff is more concrete. I don't think most people appreciate what it takes to develop a solid modeling kernel.
> However, because of clock drifts and/or assumptions around network time delays, timestamps from conventional clocks are not always mutually comparable, and therefore events cannot be reliably ordered using timestamps from conventional clocks.

I don't think that this distributed logical clock solution isn't worth working on, but some combination of a low-stratum NTP server combined with PTP is good enough for most people, I would think, but cloud solutions are mixed.

I reject this false choice. I find myself both looking forward to the benefits of AI scaling while simultaneously also concerned about the non-zero chance it kills us all.
Native library interfacing isn't really Python's strong suit, interpreter plugins are quite painful to write.

.NET has P/Invoke which is much nicer.

JVM is getting Panama+jextract, which is the nicest yet. You can go straight from header files to pure Java bindings which don't need any extra native code at all. But it's not shipped yet :(
I dunno where you live but from my vantage point it hasn't really been removed.

Here's what GPT-4 would have written:

og_kalu, I understand the point you're trying to make regarding the potential intelligence of GPT-4 and the connection with the philosophical zombie, but I believe there are some important distinctions to consider.

First, it's important to recognize that the goalposts for artificial intelligence have indeed been shifting, and for good reason. As our understanding of intelligence grows, so does our ability to build systems that can mimic it. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that a given AI system, like GPT-4, has truly achieved general intelligence. Instead, it might simply be that our models are becoming more sophisticated and better at solving specific tasks.

The philosophical zombie argument, on the other hand, is concerned with subjective experience and consciousness, rather than intelligence. A philosophical zombie is a hypothetical being that is behaviorally and functionally identical to a human being, but lacks subjective experience. The debate around the philosophical zombie is more about the nature of consciousness and whether it can be separated from intelligence, rather than the intelligence itself.

Now, regarding your assertion that true distinction shows in results, it's true that GPT-4 and similar models have shown impressive capabilities. However, it's crucial not to confuse correlation with causation. Just because an AI system can generate outputs that seem to demonstrate reasoning and understanding, it doesn't necessarily mean that it possesses true understanding. It might simply have learned to generate outputs that are highly correlated with human-generated responses, without any actual understanding or reasoning taking place.

In summary, while it's true that AI systems like GPT-4 are becoming more advanced and able to generate seemingly intelligent responses, it's important to differentiate between the appearance of intelligence and genuine understanding. Furthermore, the philosophical zombie argument is primarily concerned with consciousness, not intelligence, so it may not be entirely relevant in this context.

Neither have I but it actually lines up pretty well depending on your read of GP. Large religions often use a proving-a-negative with a pascals wager to achieve an inarguable story regardless of content. And cult religions generally do this with an Us-vs-Them approach which usually prevents members of believing external arguments.

> which does not sound true to me.

Which part? Smart kids who grow up with social media will understand from experience that the artifacts of online popularity have a direct and significant effect on their real lives, so...

> "[...] the artifacts of online popularity and the real are necessarily separate things"

...is definitely not a true statement. A "real" separate from the interference of newfangled technologies is just middle-aged reaction. We don't pretend that things said on telephones don't have an effect on our real lives, or announcements made on television won't affect us.

edit: honestly thought we moved from "irl" to "afk," then dropped them both as we accepted that we would carry keyboards with us 24 hours a day.

I'd settle for corporate death sentence for any companies developing it with life imprisonment for any employees/corporate officers involved at any level whatsoever (or VCs funding it)

including selling chips/compute to companies involved

any potential benefits from AI are not worth even a 10% risk of it wiping out humanity

this position is going to become more common as the media (and electorates) grasp what these companies are attempting to do
If you go down the rabbit hole of STAR and other techniques that are recommended here and decide that they are too complicated or hard to execute, do the practical thing that you see politicians do in interviews and debates.

Pick some talking points you want to hit. Rehearse the absolute crap out of them and have them committed to memory. Then figure out transition sentences and phrases that lead into them.

“That’s a great question, it reminds me of the time that (TALKING POINT)”

“Good point, on the other hand (TALKING POINT)”

It doesn’t matter much what you’re transitioning from as long as it has a slight relation to your talking point.

By doing this you are controlling the agenda of the conversation and you can have a comfortable home field advantage.

This is how every politician preps for debates and it works.
That link is not at all a list of "why AI is extremely dangerous and extremely likely to kill us all". I skimmed it (there's a lot of writing assuming grave danger) but found only the following example of AI lethality, and it appears fantastical:

You really can't just blanket claim that all research from a university is politically biased, even if you feel American universities in general are biased. Come on now, we're here for discourse that's a little more nuanced than that I hope.

This question is slightly different because you have to track a testing set and the metrics. I would look to the many ML workflow tools

> No idea what a Google Collab is

Counterpoint: the more our capacity grows, the more we have the legitimate ability to bring absolute destruction

Plastic or some other chemical ending sperm counts —> we previously had no ability to affect the global ecosystem on this scale

Bioweapon virus or microorganism eviscerating civilization —> we had no prior ability to engineer such a plague

Nuclear holocaust —> we previously had no ability to destroy the world with weapons

Runaway climate change —> we previously had no ability to alter the climate

Ai sky net moment —> we previously had no ability to make such an intelligence

Solar flare cutting all electronics —> we previously had no dependence upon a single point of failure

I could go on. We’ve had plenty of civilizations collapse but nothing has been so linked before and we lacked such capacity before.

This is not to say any of the above will come to pass. But it is foolish to say “apocalypses were previously impossible hence such warnings can be dismissed out of hand”
I moved from the UK, where Chicken tikka masala is famously the most popular food, and I am surprised that most of the Indian restaurants here are Nepalese.

Unfortunately the local Nepalese restaurants seem to have very very similar menus, and themed decor, along with a poor record of treating their workers fairly.

I do miss UK-styled curries, and Indian food, I think even though the foods have obviously been adjusted for the UK tastes there is a lot more variety available than in Finland. (Which I guess makes sense given the relative populations, and differences in terms of the number of Indian people who've integrated to both countries over recent decades.)
Yes, this is how I feel about it. Between climate change, obesity, GM foods, mega-viruses, insects dying, extreme solar flares, and now AI, I’m surprised I’m still here anyway. Just perhaps AI will actually help solve some of those problems.
Maybe I'm missing a piece here, but the entire discussion (and indeed the thread in question) is regarding the filing of income taxes.

Use an alternative front end like Invidious [1] and you won't see any ads - yet.

I assume they will eventually start live-patching ads into the actual video streams and refuse to serve the rest of the stream unless the player has confirmed the ad has been shown. I can think of plenty ways how to achieve that so I guess the bottom feeders at those ad companies can do the same. If/when that happens it'll be bye-bye Youtube and any other venue which implements such measures.

> Maybe I'm just weird, but "a tech-based superintelligence emerges and decides to destroy humanity because it was in a bad mood" is something I'm totally fine with.

It seems important to reflect on what you’re really saying here, and to ask how a) this is fine, and b) how “weird” sufficiently sums up the stance.

> My lower-bound model of "how a sufficiently powerful intelligence would kill everyone, if it didn't want to not do that" is that it gets access to the Internet, emails some DNA sequences to any of the many many online firms that will take a DNA sequence in the email and ship you back proteins, and bribes/persuades some human who has no idea they're dealing with an AGI to mix proteins in a beaker, which then form a first-stage nanofactory which can build the actual nanomachinery. (Back when I was first deploying this visualization, the wise-sounding critics said "Ah, but how do you know even a superintelligence could solve the protein folding problem, if it didn't already have planet-sized supercomputers?" but one hears less of this after the advent of AlphaFold 2, for some odd reason.) The nanomachinery builds diamondoid bacteria, that replicate with solar power and atmospheric CHON, maybe aggregate into some miniature rockets or jets so they can ride the jetstream to spread across the Earth's atmosphere, get into human bloodstreams and hide, strike on a timer.

Does this kind of thing sound plausible to you? How much molecular biology have you studied? Even as someone who’s just been reading a genomics textbook for fun, the phrase “strike on a timer” alone is ludicrous. It sounds like someone who’s spent more time in science fiction. These are wildly speculative claims not at all grounded in believable science.
As always, understanding of nuanced issues will pool at the extremes.

It is both true that:

- Adoption of DL allows corps to launder or inadvertently adopt unethical practices that exacerbate inequalities.

- We have not created AGI, LLMs are not AGI, stable diffusion is not AGI and none of these fields of research are indication we are closer to AGI. This is like thinking Clever Hans is the portent of our future equine overlords.

A great number of people who claim that we are one minute from AGI overlord midnight are doing the old school carnival barker trick. "This snake oil is so potent! It can kill you if you use too much, so be sure to listen carefully to my instructions!"
> AI can also completely liberate all of us.

I agree that this is also possible.

> It is better to try and create the most benevolent AI possible, that is an ally to humanity and invested in our success, than to dwell on our destruction.

I also agree, but who is "we"? I don't think that's a stated goal of companies working on AI research. Their goals seem largely commercial, and they are not regulated. There's nothing stopping a company to produce an autonomous AI for military purposes for example (I'm pretty sure there's a demand for that). Such military AIs probably wouldn't have a very benevolent nature.

The original pis were made to sell some chips that Broadcom had a ton of excess inventory for, and needed to move (hence why the price was so low compared to other SBCs at the time - the main SoCs were free). The modern version is now competing for a chip that's in demand, and can't offer the same price that other people can. They are still being produced since Broadcom doesn't want to cut them off completely, but not nearly as available.

How is that glory-days-then-decline theory working out for the cities of the old world?
I did a part of it last year. You need to walk with your tent, you won't reach a lodging site every night. I think the longest stretch without civilization (no village/town to buy food etc) is 5 days. So you also need to manage. your food and water supply.

The app is very helpful for that as it gives you water, food and lodging information on the trail related to your current position (so for instance you can see that in 10km there is a river/water fountain/grocery store etc.)

PCIe 5 NVMe drives can do 11+ GBps so at least 2x your numbers. We seem to be talking past each other because the point of the change is to run inference on a cpu for an LLM with a larger weight size than the host RAM can fit.

It looks to me that if I was planning on building a new machine capable of LLM inference it’s going to be possible using commodity gamer components and if lazy weights is viable, then such a machine with multiple PCIe 5 nvme drives in a raid 0 can potentially almost reach memory bandwidth.

On my list of to investigate next is in regards to inference with GPUs, could somehow multiple smaller GPUs be used with a technique similar to the OP post.
Is your point that only busy people (and Clinton voters) are stupid enough to think you can vote by text, therefore they were disenfranchised by this meme?
Absolutely. To compete with Salesforce, you need to not only do literally everything Salesforce can do, you need to be compatible with all the horrific hacked in integrations that companies have made, and do it better enough where it’s worth the complete clusterfuck that switching off Salesforce would cause.

I watched the 2000 D&D film before watching the 2023 film.

TBH, the 2023 film isn't that much better than the 2000 film. The special FX are better but the dialogue and acting is just as campy in the second film as it was in the first. It's just that our tastes have changed. The 2000 film reflects the way D&D was played 2 decades ago, i.e., more as high fantasy; the 2023 film reflects that D&D today is played more as action comedy.

EDIT: see, for example, Stranger Things, in which D&D is played a straight high fantasy. The 2000 has comedic relief (D&D isn't Warhammer), but it's first and foremost a high fantasy. The new film is an action comedy with a few serious moments, like Vox Machina or any of the dozens of D&D gaming podcasts.
