When I was first learning python/tensorflow I tried using docker containers, but got a huge headache trying to navigate using a GPU with a container. I know VMs also can't really share GPU resources that effectively (at least consumer cards in pedestrian setups).

I built this resistance to docker about 5 years ago, is it (or was it) still correct? Is there a best practice for sharing GPUs with containers that's not a pain in the ass?

Unfortunately the supply of mentors is basically nonexistent while the demand is endless. Multiple sites have tried with little success.

A few of the questions I touched on in this site's about page (April Fool's Day joke):

What will happen when millions of websites are auto-generated by AI and the authors aren't as well-intentioned?

How much longer will web developers like myself create these types of websites with hand-written code?

With the exponential progress in AI, where will this all lead over the next few years? Over the next decade?

Games of Thrones is a very rare series. Almost all other series are not that complex.

You're comparing one of the most expensive series ever, with low cost series.

And even action series, in the old days, would film 60 min. episodes, with live action, explosions, car scenes, really things are very cheap now with CGI.

Imagine having to retake a scene with real explosions?

Not necessarily if it means there will be a barbell curve, and we get equal or more students doing even worse. Teachers will quickly bucket kids into 3-4 groups:

1. Doing fine, no need to even pay attention to these kids. Now your top performers don't grow as much.
2. On the edge - where most attention will go
3. Meh - maybe a small percentage jump into category 2, where they will be cared about
4. Let them rot - most of the kids at the bottom will just be let to rot
Short Story on AI: Forward Pass (2021)
I googled the phrase 'Portugal drug treatment' and found out what I was suspecting from the start - which is, everything I saw previously was correct and they indeed decriminalized all drugs up to certain weight and still jail dealers. This goes against the claims that you previously made that they did not have a decriminalization, and the next one about criminal record also doesn't make any sense in this context - what would the criminal record be, a gram of weed?
Fwiw, that stuff is definitely still out there, you've just got to find it. A lot of stuff in the OSR scene tends to go in weird directions, of particular note is probably Troika!, a fairly simple game set in a sort of dumping-ground universe for all sorts of wacky creatures and people. The system is based loosely on the underlying system behind the Fighting Fantasy books, and there are lots of hacks and variations, including (for a time, now sold out) one where you play as the characters from Seinfeld.

The point of April Fool's day isn't to make a joke, it's literally to fool people. Sure, it should be funny once you realize it was a prank, but the goal should be to actually convince you.

It should make some kind of statement or call attention to some kind of issue, and the fact that people willingly believed your false report, by itself, should prove your point. That's the purpose.

But, of course, we live in a world where the minute you open your mouth, you're deemed responsible for other people's idiocy, so everyone's just making inane jokes.
The AI does not have to be omnipotent. People are worried about:

1) Job losses, which is a real concern, except for LeCun, who is safe or rich enough.

2) Some fools connecting a war game AI to real hardware, which is quite possible.

Other than that, I don't see "doomism" at all. I see outrage at the IP theft that exploits altruistic humans who posted their works on the Internet.
Which is great. The reaction to "AI"s polluting the Internet with its trash is going to create a lot of new kinds of communities and technologies to facilitate authenticity.
Perhaps the following perspective will help you understand.

A protest is _supposed_ to disrupt, in order to get the world at large to look at injustices which have conveniently been ignored under the status quo. The _whole point_ of a protest is to stop business as usual, and attempt to change it.

What drives a person to protest? It is a desperate measure for people who have been failed by society at all other turns. What drove them there cannot have been some trivial matter.

While it takes a significant amount of dissatisfaction among a significant section of the population to create a protest - so it's probably not something "a small minority is overly excited about" (also, "overly" by whose standards? Yours?) - does it _matter_ whether it's a majority or minority that's protesting? Is a tyranny of the majority the kind of world you're after?

To try and keep up "business as usual" in the face of its systemic failures is to try and Band-Aid a gaping wound. It's on the same level as installing benches unsuitable for sleeping, rather than tackling homelessness.

It's not planking up your windows for a hurricane. It's holding an umbrella in one and hoping that nothing will change. It's the epitome of short-sightedness.
Fair point. I'm not sure if LLMs like GPT-4 haven't passed that test, but you're right about that particular distinction.

I think the larger point, that we don't have very reliable tests for these things, as we're finding out with the testing results that GPT-4 has been showing, is still valid; leading us to have difficulty telling whether GPT-4 is actually intelligent or if it is coming to its intelligent through other means. I think in that way the distinctions are the same.
I can’t comment or argue with prominent scientists such as LeCunn. But I surely can give perspective as SWE about to enter the industry.

1. We live in an uncertain time. Before most of the people, at least with a bit of research could have predicted the trajectory of technological innovation. Being born in era of tech, it was very easy to adopt to it. From PC to now, I have embraced every technological progress. Yet, nothing sent chills like this one.

2. I do not worry about my job. What I worry is most of the world is about getting shit done and this tech helps you get your shit done (for now). If we are at the upper tail of some sigmoid, there is nothing to fear. If we are at slope, oh boy, I cannot fathom the economic domino this tech is about to bring out. People are not rational. We are mostly governed by emotion. If you think, every single joe is rational and has capacity to judge, nobody would have voted from Trump to be president or riot the Capitol.

3. Currently it can do 60% of the work. If it evolves, it will do 80% of the work. If you factor human population and the amount of inefficiency in current economy, this will create a boom of productive workers with bust of average worker. And the world is not just for elites. Average people need their livelihood too. Now think about the magnitude of displacement.

4. I have no issue with innovation and breakthrough. AI won’t kill us, because we will kill each other before that. This tech is exposing entire middle class job (check out the job being exposed. There is a paper for that from openAI titled: gpts are gpts) And there are lot if people in that bracket. For once, think about us too.

So, these religious people do not exclusively worry about immediate effects of the tech. But within their doom, hides an issue that needs to be heard.

That’s my two cents.
on real filesystems, directories are effectively files and take up space. I see no reason for them not to have zero byte files take from the storage limits due to metadata.

Thanks for sharing.

On a side note, I find it quite curious how the resolution on this image from WAttention [1] mismatches.
From the OP, the couple portrait attributed to Wikipedia, which is the latest 2018 retouched version [2], has a much higher resolution and specifies @Press as the source.
The 2016 original version [3] matches the couple portrait on @Press [4], which has the same blueish hue and the additional artifacts.
This links back to Nakamuraya's website itself [5], which has the same food photo combination as [1], but in consistent resolution.

At first, it seems to me that the couple portrait on [1] was (intentionally?) degraded because of the different lighting than [5], and the food photo is simply another version that was available during the retrieval (notice the crop). On second thought, it could have simply been another version that was available from Nakamuraya's. TIL images uploaded to Wikipedia are encouraged to be enhanced [6].

I wonder, as AI tools getting more pervasive, how many variations with artificial details will exist due to constant upscaling/downsizing? (Accurate replication might not be important in certain contexts, but I imagine artificial details will eventually leak into the chain of reference)

Of course, old photos like this are scanned/photographed into digital format in the first place.

> The technology hasn't changing anything.

exactly.

as Exupery pointed out in "Land for people" (?) , technology does not abstract/hide us from nature/essence, quite the opposite, it allows/thrusts us further into that essence extremely (where it might not be pretty to be -
be it middle of mountain / desert, or in the thick of social-(dis)connectivity ..)

The AI singularity is also an entirely speculative scenario straight out of sci-fi. For some reason, many AI doomers are talking about it like it's not only something that is well understood, but also pretty much an inevitability.

The truth of the matter is we don't even know if it's possible. In general, unbounded exponential growth is extremely rare in nature. It's common in physics, but only as a result of looking at low order approximations.

I honestly think when the dust settles, the smartphone will still have had more impact on society than LLMs. If people knew in 2009 what was coming, they'd be freaking out like many people are today.
(You quoted the same paragraph I did, so I'll just delete my comment and move my response to this quotation here.)

Exactly. Why am I supposed to take this seriously?

Believers in Superintelligenceism seem to assume that any problem in any field - physics, chemistry, biology, math, sociology, geometry, whatever - that hasn't already been proved impossible to be within the capabilities of an AGI, justified with a handwave and "oh, it's so super smart that it'll have it all figured out in an afternoon". This has more in common with religious concepts of omnipotent and omniscient gods than with anything any AI developers are working on today.
hhhahaahha woa I missed that completely

I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who took it seriously. Thanks! I wonder if mr LeCun made the same mistake, it's just... almost believable! Good April fools joke I gotta admit.

EDIT: it's now 5 minutes later and I'm still laughing. I believed for months that Yudkowski had started a death cult.

Would you say there is not enough clear messaging to articulate that this is for you and just your core people and not everyone in the company? That Slack and everything serves a purpose but you and your core team needs to be on the same page. Or would that still decrease productivity in your opinion.
To a first degree, sure, but I'm also very keenly aware that I'm in that 30% on many topics. It makes the inability for "everyone" to be suspicious of everything even more insidious, because it means we can't just have a nice civil war and kill the "right" 30% of people to clear things up.

My question was something which he would normally be prosecuted for, but wasn’t on account of being president.

Comedy was definitely a regular component of D&D and other RPGs way before 2000. I don’t think the 2000 film was particularly targeted towards people who actually played RPGs.
I like that line of thinking. But I still fail at giving a good explanation of that concept. Maybe it's intuitive for me due to having learned about cellular automata during my youth. I know I'm entering esoteric and new age territory but something tells me this can even be applied to phenomena like quantum entanglement. My idea is that if there is an information receivable and possibly even emittable by a biological system then that system will through evolutionary pressure begin to incorporate this transmission in a way that improves fitness. Telepathy maybe even. That's also why I don't "believe" anymore in this compartmentalization of the human body into separate organs. Tissue can isolate an organ to some extent but even then there will be hormonal or mechanic exchange. Example would be relevance of belly breathing for intestinal function. At the extreme we reach this sense of connectedness between all or most or some living beings. It just appears to me that this would make sense.
He also likes to talk about "human level AI". That's like expecting that the invention of the airplane passes through a stage of "human level flight". That didn't happen. And probably also not for AI.

These systems will vastly outperform humans at more and more tasks, while being still sub-human at others. When the time comes that they surpass humans at all tasks, they will be vastly superhuman overall. And consequently much more dangerous than LeCun's "human level AI".
Genenerics often have better overheads because the company takes profit on more points of the production and supply chain.

They're also producing products in almost every aisle of the supermarket and gain an economy of scale on things like only needing a single one of eg house style for every product.

Sure, everything has some limit. But the lowest limit I see on that page is 2^32, which is just a touch higher than 5 million. (/s) And far more importantly, none of those filesystems just decided one day to reduce the limit, which is kind of a big deal. (Although funny, in a horrible way; imagine booting up your machine one day and it tells you that your home filesystem needs to drop a few million files before it can mount. Can you imagine?)
That sounds scary. While I liked the comics, I hate the movies. On the other hand, I love TTRPGs and CRPGs, including baby D&D based ones.
