...if you have time, if there is a shipping center in the airport, if it's open, and if the cost of materials and shipping is worth the $35 Leatherman...Might even be the same cost to check it vs ship it at that point.

I will just comment on the cost part. 100 percent Reusable rockets + saving money on food for international flights + passengers in tight pods with no walking room + no astronaut gear + little to no staff + 10 flights per day. Even if you only take 10 passengers a flight, you have a cost a little bit more than business class. If you take the number of hours a person saves and multiply that by executive wages ($200k), the savings are a no Brainer. Of anything, there is upside in raising the price.
> This year with the introduction of ChatGPT-4 we may have seen the invention of something with the equivalent impact on society of explosives, mass communication, computers, recombinant DNA/CRISPR and nuclear weapons – all rolled into one application.

I just can't stand this kind of language. ChatGPT is quite useful but have you tried to ask it something serious that is not twitter worthy? We are not there yet. And in any case, this is not the first superhuman tool that humans made. Nukes have existed for 70 years and probably become much more accessible. Biotech could create thousands of humanity-ending viruses, today. These are fears that we live with and will forever live with, but we can't live lives only in fear.
At least in things like washing machines or water pumps for current sensing these seem to be one of the more easy to break components.

Shimon, are there any risks in activating Datree on the prod env?
I did the math on this myself earlier to understand the problem. Solar is VERY expensive if you include storage, if you can even get it. We will need natural gas and coal until we do. In the future I expect that this will change as battery production gets off the ground at the scale we need. But that will take a lot of time we don't have.

Nuclear makes a lot of sense if we want to be off coal and natural gas in the next 5-10 years. If we want to burn fossil fuels until 2060 then solar and wind are okay I guess. There is a reason that fossil fuel companies lobby heavily against nuclear and fund immense campaigns against it. It's a direct competitor. Solar and battery on the other hand are just barely off the ground right now.

It's still a random personal anecdote. And the "strategy" is an empty trivial advice.

Do you think other poor people trying to start businesses don't try to do it with "almost no monetary investment"? Not only they try that, that's the only way they can afford to try anyway.

Still no match for a big monetary investment, and still much much harder for them to get the same outcomes as an enterpreneur coming from privilege. Notice also how the claim isn't that it's impossible (or inversely, that the rich always succeed to build a succesful business), but that it is much much harder, and the upper middle class/rich/connections people have it much easier.
Well there should be rules against this. NYTimes is vital to Democracy and needs your money.
I remember reading a blog post from a certain project management software startup bragging about their genius lead engineer who created this wonderful NIH frontend framework for them, how it worked, et c.

Having used the product (which would not-infrequently manage to make keyboard input lag by full seconds on strong hardware, ate hundreds of megabytes of ram and tons of processor cycles while idle—even worse than your average webshit "app") and putting 2 and 2 together, I'm pretty sure I could have written a list of things they'd failed to take into account, and reasons the results were so poor. It was a fun read thanks to all the details, like "oh, that's why this is so awful, I see exactly what's wrong now".
A big part of TinyML is finding alternate paths for implementing AI in resource-constrained space.

We already have SoC that is functionally not so much different from modern microcontrollers. Depending on economics of scale, it isn’t that big of a leap of imagination to see a microcontroller which includes 4-bit vector ops like a GPU.
I don't see why it would. It doesn't change the incentives.
That sounds extremely dystopian. No, thank you.
I disagree for a number of reasons:

The slow performance would eventually have lead to Intel realizing its bad idea. They would use market share to competitors on different ISA.

Windows at some point would want to be on faster processors and would again run on some of the others. Windows doesn't have undying loyalty to Intel.

Other people then AMD could do a x86 implementation with some 64 bit overlay as well. Transmeta style. That kind of system would beat Itanium as well if it was put on top of a fast RISC processor.

And at some point AMD even on 32bit would massively gain market share as they invested more in faster RISC style processors. So Intel would have massive pressure from the bottom end and the top end. And in any possible future AMD at some point it gone do something with 64 bit.

The idea that the whole industry goes massively backwards and stagnates for years because Intel monopoly doesn't really work in practice.
llama.cpp is CPU only but llama runs on GPU using the HuggingFace Transformers library. You can run the llama model which far outpaces GPT-3.5 on a couple of $200 Tesla P40 GPUs at faster speeds than GPT-3.5 Turbo, completely locally.
I'm not so sure. Like of financial worries is also dangerous - it can make people uber-complacent and lazy coach surfers, which will weaken the person long-term. Similar to how lack of gravity in space leads to significant loss of muscle mass.
“this lack of immediate use cases neuters any meaningful debate on, say, AI alignment and ethics”

You seem to be ignoring Stable Diffusion in your view of AI and LLMs will be extended via LangChain and ChatGPT plugins so saying we can’t talk about the implications of granting them more functions until after it happens seems irresponsible.
> If Walmart can guarantee me not getting counterfeits

They cannot and Walmart often procures subpar products of the same model and this allowed them to sell it for cheaper. (Amazon largely does the same thing but at least with Amazon you know its either cheap or a counterfeit) [1]

Irrational emotional humans utilizing AI for destructive purposes will come way before “ AIs becoming sentient and causing harm for their own ends.”
This is an oversimplification. You will have to read the index to figure out where the parts you need to read are. And if your columns don't align well with the blocks / pages of the storage you are using, this "optimization" may turn out to be worthless, or, perhaps even harmful, if your system is starving for memory.
AskMarvin from Prefect
Fully agree. I don't see why general intelligence implies or requires consciousness/feeling/etc.

We can probably create a tool with the ability to act independently and with super-human knowledge and judgement, but without feeling, emotion, or anything except a simulated sense of 'self' to ease our interaction with it. I suspect that we'll create that version of general intelligence long before we create AI with consciousness, emotion or a genuine sense of self or desire for self-preservation.
Well, in aggregate and over time they do.

Right? Release it open source and let it be a _gladiator_ rather than an OpenAI slave.

Protecting against SQL injection is a solvable problem; the characters that can escape from a query are known. You can conclusively and perfectly protect against them.

I think there's a big gap here you might be missing. Most developers beyond juniors can generally write code that at least compiles on the first pass, even if it isn't functionally correct. Current AI models often generate code that doesn't even compile.

Could you explain the statement, "At such places, discovering a hidden requirement for more resources is a great reason to change directions."

I don't understand the argument, not feigning confusion. Everyone has to scale at some point and every solution has its limits. If they were successful with Airflow and Pandas/Numpy for a long time and then well, now the fan is spinning. They are going to call for experts that put the pieces in place. Asking for help is a sign of maturity. It really depends on the state of system when the experts arrive.

I personally think every org can use ML (it all decays to statistics, then linear algebra).

To torture this analogy a bit, the post you're responding to is basically saying:

If you're middle class, maybe you can't take shot after shot at the full distance, but you can start close to the target and incrementally step further away. To mix analogies, there's nothing in business that says you have to swing for the fences on your first attempt.
I am that guy. Because you’ll leave and there will be no one brave enough to support and expand this code. And so it’ll get rewritten from the scratch. Why not write it in a maintainable way from the start.

A significant part of choosing a technology is economics of people available to hire. Who can work with that technology 5 years later, when original authors will be long gone.
Even if layoffs are the correct decision now, the company playing fast and loose with over expansion and thus their employees is absolutely worth criticizing and protesting over.

The company with billions of dollars in the bank will have teams of people assessing risk management. But apparently those assessments didn’t address the human risk of over hiring tens of thousands of people to such a degree that they ‘need’ to dispose of them at the first sign of trouble.

Other sectors of the economy didn’t see such drastic layoffs so they can’t claim it’s a widespread and unforeseeable problem. They made a risky bet that had a real human cost, and people are right to wonder what’s the point of mega corps if they’re not any better at this than a small or medium business.
This is true to a point if you need a general purpose entity management framework that will scale to whatever but a lot of games in the "make a game not an engine" vein don't need that complexity. Adding a dependency can save time but can also be its own rabbit hole.

One of those things where discussing theoretical stuff doesn't help because "it depends". :D
My snark aside, you’re missing a totally other reasonable explanation. Prior to 9/11 hijackings were relatively safe affairs. They would land and negotiate for money / demands and release passengers unharmed. So sitting passively was the safest approach, Post 9/11 the cockpit is completely locked down (regulatory requirement for flights to/from US) and passengers know that any hijacking might be a suicide attacker and thus won’t sit passively. See underwear and shoe bombers as examples where bomb materials got through security but passengers subdued the attacker. That’s why US Marshals stopped flying. Attacks are too rare to warrant meaningful useful security on even a small fraction of flights.

Now arguably those were international flights into the US. You could argue that security was lax abroad but generally TSA regulations and technical requirements apply to security screenings for inbound flights so there’s not any particular reason to believe that the TSA would have done a better job.

Container ships don't have keels or other foils like real sailboats do. That wouldn't really be possible due to limited hull space and draft. But the hulls are somewhat resistant to leeway on their own.

The various supplemental sail technologies being tried to improve merchant shipping fuel efficiency are mostly only effective going downwind. They have to make serious design compromises compared to a dedicated sailing rig in order to meet cost and space constraints. But with the cost of fossil fuels expected to continue increasing (eventually including perhaps some sort of carbon tax or emissions cap) even a minor increase in efficiency is worth pursuing.

My guess is that some sort of deployable kite sail will eventually win out instead of this wingsail concept. We'll probably start to see that integrated into new ship designs as the cost is pretty low and the equipment occupies a fairly small volume at the bow.

There are no gymnastics - previously Finland and Russia had a diplomatic relationship.

Now if Russia has a conflict with one of the Baltic states, Finland is dragged into it.

Before a war between Lithuania and Russia would not involve Finland necessarily. Now Finland has pledged a war between Lithuania and Russia would involve Finland.

Not many mental gymnastics are needed - to a person who reaches the level of average intelligence any how.

> SQL injection protection is also not perfect

I've interacted with several vendors who use these sound boxes. The article is a bit misleading in the sense that illiteracy is not the primary driver of the usage of these devices. It is a better check-out experience. Vendors were busy and annoyed by the fact that they have to use their phone to confirm payments which often hindered them from doing their routine to sell more stuff. Think about vendors making street foods, actively selling vegetables, etc.

Now all they have to do is listen to the confirmation, directly streamed from the payment gateway vendor's server as soon as receive the money. Minor convenience, agreed, but the service isn't expensive to run (thanks to the minimal hardware it needs and the low data prices in India) and surprisingly even small vendors are okay with paying a subscription fee for it.
Your preferred theory is that Los Alamos National Laboratory students can't have photographs of US military training exercises, but they do publish "fake news" for state-level adversaries of the United States of America? OK.
>specifically they believe that long term considerations must include billions/trillions of future unborn AI minds that require as much humanity and care, even starting now, in proportion to current/future smaller numbers of physical beings. a lot of wacky thought comes out of these foundations

I want to see the evolution of context management tools for coding with GPT.

- implement a function, providing structural context (e.g. model, service, controller) with stubbed modules, but leave out utilities/libraries and database model
- drop the structural context, and ask it to expand the stub implementation with some additional context about the database model
- drop the database model context, and ask it to refactor the solution with some additional context about utilities/libraries

I think this is doable, if we can build up some utilities for context management and iterative development, GPT should start to be usable on large code bases. It could work similarly to how one person wrote an entire novel using GPT.
