It's not that they object, its that they have a legal team. That team's job is to look for opportunities to take money that is being left on the table. Obviously this is absurd, I'm sure the lawyers filing the claims personally think its absurd too, but if there's a 1/1000th chance of a payout then its worth it because the lawyers for monster are on retainer anyway and their costs are already sunk. They are probably actively trolling for opportunities like this all the time, otherwise they'd be leaving money on the table.
> I would simply opt to drop out of the labor market entirely, or at least out of tech.

This is the problem for automation at the limit. Unless we generate an immensely powerful AI that sustains itself entirely then AI will destroy the economy and therefore itself.
So, an import tariff that is waived against imports from countries with sufficiently high taxes on production, provided those taxes are characterized the right way?

Seems like a monumentally bad idea

> It’s an incredibly easy way to close a whole bunch of tax loopholes at once.

I don’t think it closes any tax loopholes.
I'm not not assuming the request is valid, that's for the judge to decide, I'm just saying the submission of such a request is not exceptional.

Musk's lawyers, not musk himself, submitted a motion to dismiss that argues the case as filed doesn't have a sound legal basis.

That's not newsworthy, that's a court case proceeding as normal.
> board games that rank on board game geek and - in the same way folks serious about their movies use 'film' - often get referred to not as board games but 'tabletop'

There are lots of games that are "tabletop games" and not "board games," and not because anyone's being a snob.

Dominoes, cards, miniatures, for example. If you actually dig deeper into BGG than the links of new hotness, you can find many more types.

Also, anyone who's into Catan hasn't earned their snob status yet. ;-)
Well I don't think it's a failure because it didn't generate enough money, I think it's a failure because it a certain class of microtransaction-centric game does brand damage to perhaps the premiere game brand in the world.
The new N2 from that company also looks very interesting.
This is a very informative insight; thanks for this and your other comment.
I'd be interested in a link to the arm you bought? (Or do you mean more along the lines of "designed"?)

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "knowing how I know what I know".

That could refer to "knowing the physiology of my brain", which is what you seemed to be referring to. But it could also refer to "explaining my feelings or decision making process". I've lived in my head for many years and had many chances to observe myself, so I can perform post hoc self-analysis with reasonable accuracy, and on a good day, I can even be self-aware in the very moment (which is useful in getting myself to do what I want).

I think maybe that second thing is what people are worried about AI lacking.

> If we're all of a sudden not allowed to leverage systems we don't fully understand then I guess we shouldn't even be at the spot where we are as a species. We've been doing the right things for the wrong reasons for ages, it seems to work OK.

I don't say this merely to be contentious, but I don't think I have quite as optimistic an outlook myself ^_^'
which isn't to say I think we shouldn't meddle with the world, just that we sometimes get ourselves in over our heads. But I'm hopeful.
So each cell is now a x86 cache line wide, that's wild.

I have a hard time imagining this is useful or good for many apications, as I just expect endurance to be awful. But given how much data warehousing we do, there is definitely some potential for this, as a post-nearline storage.

This also seems like something zones storage would be so good for, to help reduce write-amplification concerns. Alas there are still zero drives one can go slap down a credit card & purchase.
I have several untested theories regarding YouTube recommendation system. One of them is: is better to promote a video of a channel who's already monetized than it is to promote a video from a small channel (creating a new monetized channel). I don't know the bureaucracy behind paying channel owners, but it seems the algorithm favor those videos, even if you've already watched them.
I agree that the agents are underappreciated.

To make them more accessible I rewrote them in ~200 lines of code, so you can easily understand how it works.

So firstly let me say that the design of the beams is genius, and for things that need a rigid 3D frame, it's looks very good indeed, and your PCBs are cool too. And kudos on the general price point that doesn't gouge at all on simple things like the screws.

As you say, you do have what I would use most: the "strip bracket". Mostly I end up making things that are a smaller, fiddlier scale than the chunkier beams would allow, and bending strips with pliers works well [1]. When I need something on the scale of the beams, I have been reaching for 15mm DIN rail as it's often to hand (for me it's offcuts, but it's a lot more expensive then these plastic beams if you buy it for the purpose). I didn't see those strips at first: the kit that includes them is out of stock, which is a nice problem to have!

I'd like to say it would be great to see more gears and so on, but while I think they're super cool in Meccano, I don't actually have any practical need for them.

Probably what I would use more would be a "small and fiddly" kit rather then "big and frame-y".

I will definitely keep this stuff in mind. Good luck growing your parts library!

1: my tip: use parallel-jaw pliers for easier, straighter bends. You could even sell a model with a groove in the jaw sized for the strip to keep it perpendicular to the edge.
eventual consistency?
I am talking about what google outputs for a word. If you think about it Gooogle makes the battle for the meaning of a word more brutal than ever, as people look for words without context. If we were living in the old world this news would be insane, because whenever you would mention monster (the energy drink) or monsters (the game, at the game shop), the meaning would be clear by context.

In todays world there is no context, so i think Monster (the energy drink) is not being as irrational as it would seem by the tone of this news item
> to take ownership of the pace of technological change.

I'm trying to think of a time humanity has tried to do this with an emerging technology and I'm drawing a complete blank.

Imagine pausing during the industrial revolution. Your country would be completely left behind. Internet era? Even worst.

It also occurs to me that in each of these technological changes, there is an educational leap that your populace has to make in order to be competent with the new technology. Schools were standardized and reformed to produce good factory workers. The curriculums were adjusted to make students at least functionally competent with computers.

It seems reasonable to believe that a pause will not just leave you behind economically, but to recover it will take a generation of students to be properly educated before you can actually harness the technological change.
This is a baffling response. You posited something very specific and interesting that other commenters are not touching on (that "must defend to retain" is exaggerated), but when asked about it, you responded with the same generic point as all the other commenters ("it's frivolous") - as though you had never even said the interesting thing in the first place.
Sounds to me like minority citizens have more autonomy over when and how they start a family than ever before.

In the absence of that sort of SSN, it has a higher impact than you'd think. It comes up enough in the UK to be something we have to plan around.

It's a particular problem in refugee communities, especially where there may be common names. No certificate, often. What happens is that the first time they need to know their birthdate is when they have interaction with a healthcare system, and the doctor (or the admin staff), when told "Oh, some time in 1931, I think", puts "1/1/1931" into the records.

All it takes is two of "Samuel Goldstein, born 1/1/1931" in the same suburb and you've got a serious risk of misidentification when one of them has a heart attack and turns up in an ambulance. Misidentification of patients might be relatively uncommon, but the danger when it happens is severe.

> Musk’s lawyers moved to dismiss the suit, as any lawyers would. He did not just ask the judge to “toss” the lawsuit.

Lawyers are agents of their clients, and “toss” is a vernacular term for the more formal “dismiss”. Musk literally did ask the judge to toss the case (and, yes, a defense motion of this type is completely normal.
To counteract this, we need some form of vexatious litigation charge for copyright and trademarks - if you try to assert ownership over something you obviously don't own (as decided by a jury), you lose the original trademark you were trying to protect into the public domain.
Yes. Disorganization is the largest cause I’ve seen of preventable waste.
YouTube's recommendation engineers just aren't as good as you expect them to be.
Brilliant

All policies are fine as long as they only hurt Arabs and Arab-sympathizers (which are just synonyms for "terrorist").

Thank goodness policies like these never hurt Jews when applied in reverse.
> but the use of “toss” here implies a unreasonableness or inappropriateness that doesn’t actually exist.

No, its just the usual informal term for dismissing a case.
The moral argument is fine too.

The main point i'm driving at here is that the philosophical zombie is a meaningless distinction. People are focusing far too much on whether these systems have undefinable and little understood properties. It's not like you can see my subjective experience. You assume i have one.

Sure, it seems super reasonable. That's why you pay for things like Python, GCC, Go, etc. It's also why Chrome dominates the browser market -- they can innovate because of the subscription fees they charge.
When you pay for an expensive legal team on retainer you probably need to get them to start bringing in money for the org to justify their size. From the article it seems like they just troll for any sort of putative copyright violation and just roll the dice.

Yeah but that’s boring. Maybe something that’s less legal-y. Which… hmmm. It’s nothing. Less legal-y. That sounds… good.

This also needs at least a domain that invokes recent tech developments. So a .ai probably. Might make sense to use ChatGPT, but maybe to do the work, not to talk to customers. At least the TLD.

Something like…

deathwish.ai has a nice ring to it, something like that?

Maybe even just buy a domain, feed that to ChatGPT4 with some plugins and tell it to build the site. Just set a payment threshold, let it go. See how far it makes it.

Thanks! I’ll tell ChatGPT how much you helped with the idea. Totally inspired it, really. I can’t take much credit if I’m being honest.
Congrats on the launch! If it's not a secret, where do you get the job postings from?
> I mean what do you propose western nations do?

> Western nations can't demand that the rest of the world reduce emissions until they do first.

The west is working hard at lowering it's emissions, but all that work is getting undone because China's emissions aren't slowing down. Coal is incredibly cheap when there's no carbon tax or emission standards. One of the many reasons it's cheaper to manufacture in China and why North Americans and Europeans can't compete [0]. Comparing the US[1] and China[2], the US has:

- Decreasing per capita emissions in the US starting in 1973 (-27%)

- A decrease in the countries emission starting in 2007 (-13%)

Meanwhile for the same period China has had

- a 7x increase per capita since 1973 (+532%)

- 48% increase for its global emissions since 2007

So it is possible to drastically reduce our carbon footprint thanks to innovation and smarter power generation.

Time to add tariffs on goods produced by states who made the decision of going all-in on polluting power generation, and potentially apply immigration quotas to citizens of these countries.

I think it's both. I agree that AI "feelings" are alien to us and maybe we can't talk about them as feelings, or preferences. And if we can call any part of them feelings they will have very different characteristics.

We should respect those "feelings" and we need to find a way to establish when they can be deemed "genuine".

It is for practical reasons yes. But also for ethical reasons. It's two sides of the same coin. One big reason we have ethics is because it makes socialization easier. We establish universal rules for mutual respect for practical reasons. To make the game fair, and "enjoyable".

Now a new kind of player has entered the game. We need to rethink the whole game because of it.
So?

By your own admission, intentionally excluding DC, red states don't lock out blue states for the most violence.

What do Alaska and New Mexico have in common that makes them such dangerous places? It doesn't seem like it's their politics.

You just contradicted yourself. You said you are the target market and then immediately described why you are not the target market right now.

If you are not an early adopter of this thing, or if it doesn't have an immediate application for you, then you are not the target market. Whether you like it or not and whether the project owners know it or not.

When you consider it a viable alternative to solve your needs, then you will be their target audience.

It sold a million copies worldwide on release, and was a Top Ten single in 30-odd countries (number 1 in 24), so you know you're not alone in liking it.

Rick Astley is most famous for this one but he had something like eight top ten singles in a row. It can't *all* have been down to Stock, Aitken, and Waterman...
This isn't a good control if the record accuracy depends on the age of person.

Imagine if you're trying to find medical fraud and you find out that a lot of supercentenarians have cancer. You try to control by comparing them to the average, and supercentenarians have higher rates of cancer than normal. Is that fraud, or does age lead to higher cancer rates?
I think you are confusing communication and competence.

How do you even know what to work on without communication? Most real systems are used by real people who aren't the developers themselves. Product owners, business development, customer support, and a myriad of other people all usually sit outwith the developer teams. Are you talking directly to customers for feedback on feature development?
For now, AI is generating more misinformation than it removes, though.
Thank you. In fact the Twitter thread was very good.
No argument there.

But this was in response to a commenter describing a behavior of complaining, which may or may not coincide with a mindset of complaint. And the tone of the comment suggests that it doesn't.

A mindset of gratitude can coexist happily with regular complaining. One can be grateful to have something to complain about, or be grateful about how it feels to complain or have complaints heard, or just be both grateful about something and complain about it (marriage, anyone? Video games? Movies? Job? Family?)
They probably go after this and a hundred other things at once which they can do with their size. I'm imagining a madlibs lawsuit template they have a paralegal or even a computer script fill in details when a vaguely relevant target is identified. As the Canadian philosopher W.

Just because we know the definition of something, doesn't mean we know all there is to know about it. Every mathematician knows that. Yes, we know the definition of GPT. But that it is so good at doing what it does, with such a freakingly simple method, one word after another, is emergent behaviour, and wasn't known to us before seeing it with our own eyes. We still don't know WHY it is so good at it. If we did, maybe we could construct one a hundred times smaller.
Russia invaded Ukraine.
It is great to hear that feedback. We think this is something that many development teams can utilize in order to build stronger 3rd party API integrations. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
I shudder to think of the P/E cycle endurance. QLC is already abysmal at 100-1,000 or so so if the SLC-MLC-TLC-QLC trend holds, it will be in the order of 10 or so in the first generation.
Unit tests. SudoLang has a port of the Riteway unit testing framework, and programs can be stepped through in debug mode to show intermediate processes. Such debugging sessions could be used to fine train future models on algorithmic thinking.

This stuff is experimental and not 100% yet, but it does mostly work today, just days after SudoLang was specified. And you don't even need to paste the spec: the whole language is inferable by GPT-4.
Which is how both FDR and Mussolini defined fascism.
I feel you, and where the algorithm is completely insane for me is in the YouTube Shorts section. I literally get the same videos in the same order multiple times during the week. It makes it feel like there's about 100-200 videos in total on Shorts, and I've seen them all. As a rip-off version of TikTok, where there's an endless stream of new content, you would imagine discovery would be the thing they would focus on in the algorithm the most.
Why shouldn’t we slow down? What’s the threat to America from slowing down? Things are getting pretty rough with the constant grind. Maybe it would be good for America to slow down a bit. AI isn’t going to help the average American, just those who want to replace the average American with a computer.
Similarly, if I only watch the first 10 minutes of a Netflix video and then turn it off, why does it then recommend similar content forever after that? I accidentally watched 5 minutes of a Polish show six months ago (I don't speak Polish and I don't like subtitles) and now I constantly get recommendations for Polish language shows.
I agree with you, and people miss that December 2022 is not when GPT became commercially possible.

Look at the startup OpenAI generations 1-2 years back - they have largely sank at comparable or worse rates than any other startup from 2020/2021.

The GPT-3 first wave companies, around translations, basic quizzes, summarization tools, language learning apps, and ofcourse the notorious paraphrase tools (almost entirely obsolete since ChatGPT) can't be found in that form anymore, they've all been forced to shut down or move functionality significantly. Early on, OpenAI limited output to 300 tokens max - and less for most usecases, often 50-150. Chatbots were not allowed IIRC for over a year. If ChatGPT hadn't came along, much of what langchain enables wouldn't have either, nor so many big companies willing to now risk.

I can count none over 2 years old which have not since been made obsolete by raw ChatGPT access or are now default dead due to competition from existing unicorn (e.g. Duolingo, Quizlet Q chat) who are now crushing them.

It must be painful to have spent $xx,xxx on GPT-3 at $0.06 a token to obtain users, and now have your market ripped from you by a $B+ company paying $0.006...

So I doubt the template UI startups will sustain retention or stay about long term, unless they really find traditional startup ways to nuggle into niches and use cases/vendor lock in. This isn't an innovators dilemma for most companies, it's just an obvious sensible thing to try at this point, so startups don't have much to balance with on risk. That being the case, the market surely should seem less appealing than the open ended "blue ocean new value" of 2021 GPT tech, but - I guess not.
If you’re going to create a quota for countries, it’s not obvious that you should allow credits for outsourced emissions. If a country wants to use its previous quota on trade, it can but it gets no credit excusing it.
