You are being given a chance to dispute it. Give an example of a problem that any human would be easily able to solve but GPT4 wouldn't.

>> "good model of a model of reality"

That is just a model of reality. Also, a "model of reality" is what you'd typically call a world model. Its an intuition for how the world works, how people behave, that apples fall from trees and that orange is more similar to red than it is to grey.

Your last line shows that you still have a superficial understanding of what its learning. Yes it is statistics, but even our understanding of the world is statistical. The equations we have in our head of how the world works are not exact, they're probabilistic. Humans know that "Apples fall from the _____" should be filled with 'tree' with a high probability because that's where apples grow. Yes, we have seen them grow there, whereas the AI model has only read about the growing on trees. But that distinction is moot because both the AI model and humans express their understanding in the same way. The assertion we're making is that to be able to predict the next word well, you need an internal world model. And GPT4 has learnt that world model well, despite not having sensory inputs.
That's why so many people oppose multi-family housing, even so-called progressives.
You've switched from talking about heating (presumably in climate that needs a significant amount), to talking about cooling California.

I'm not versed in exactly how these numbers shake out to be making informed conclusions, but by your previous argument it doesn't seem like you are either. For example cooling load is going to be positively correlated with solar output. More bursty renewables (solar, wind) means less base load and more peaker plants to handle their droops. And just because a town builds one "200MW peaker plant" doesn't rule out adding renewables (and making the peaker burn less gas), even though the renewables only operate at their full capacity a small part of the time. The only way to figure out what to make sense is to tradeoff specific capex/opex/utilization/revenue, rather than talking in wide-sweeping generalizations.

Storage is the general solution to the problem, yes. The easy form of storage that we've become accustomed to is the chemical energy of natural gas. Another is end-user thermal storage, where consumption is accelerated/delayed depending on what the grid needs. Moving away from fossil fuels requires figuring out storage, especially how to utilize the inherent storage/slack we already have, rather than continuing to just take fossil fuels' convenient advantages for granted.
The difference is in intensity and quantity. Fentanyl vs opium: breathing in a bit of dust from handling a bag of pills is potentially lethal, and mass manufacturing has put tons of it into the market -- compared to opium which took dedicated farming and harvesting practices and was relatively limited in supply, and overdosing was at least very expensive. ML vs photoshop: results that once took experts many hours of work are now available to anybody with a momentary whim; likewise new voice-cloning scams which would have taken professional impersonators hours of contact with their bait-person has been reduced to a quick phone call.
Is Troika! popular? I had a 1-on-1 session of Troika! and I really enjoyed the vibe, but I found it hard to find people interested in this particular style of play.
Very true, I agree - but before there's a comment, there's a headline.

"5M item limit for Google Drive: File unable to generate or upload due to 503" (mostly passive, it's a user problem) vs "Google Drive does a surprise rollout of file limits, locking out some users" (Evil Google secretly screwing customers over)
There has literally never been a time in the history of capitalistm when capitalist wealth from any industry wasn’t being flexed in politics for the interests of the particular capitalists (and, as a natural collateral effect, the industry) involved.
Does that mean that any company doing finance is tech? If we, as a community, decide to tag every industry with "tech" like fintech, agritech, edtech, etc. to companies that are disrupting some industry it loses any meaning. Is every SaaS a tech company? Is disrupting the time tracking or invoice industry mean that is tech?

I think the qualifier is for companies that contribute something back, which many of those disruptor companies are using. Usually this contribution is some by-product since there are only a few companies who actually have main products as Tech.

Personally I avoid using the word "tech" and just say I do software stuff. Most people outside of computing just think its all the same anyhow ("can you help me with my wifi?" - In Laws, everywhere).
No offense but you clearly are not a spreadsheet power user (and to be clear you're starting off with what feels like a pretentious reply/generalization: always turns out that the person stating that opinion is an Excel expert and barely looked at anything else.) I have never heard anyone that has used both products deeply ever admit that Numbers comes close to the capabilities of Excel (and this includes a few former Numbers devs). They really aren't even in the same product category. For basic spreadsheet stuff that 90% of people do, sure, and Numbers does have some UI niceties - but the differences go well beyond drag and drop behavior. It's way harder if not impossible to use AppleScript like you can VBA. What is the Numbers equivalent of ODBC? How do you connect pivot tables to external sources? Excel has tremendously more builtin functions. Excel has far better performance, which can start to matter.

Meanwhile Numbers can have field types like star ratings. It uses a fundamentally different visual abstraction. Numbers focuses more on appearance and makes better looking graphs easily out of the box. At the limits of their feature sets though, these are really tools aimed at different audiences. For basic spreadsheet functionality, all of the major spreadsheet programs in the last 2 decades are serviceable.

I guess I'm just annoyed by Wikipedia being a source of well regarded truth when I also suspect that a lot of the content is politically slanted. Also, it's an aggregator, not an original work. Maybe this is unfounded...
Perhaps it's not articulated well, flowy is for you and say your core 3-8 people.

You choose who you get to hear "always-on" just like you choose which channels you tune into on a real walkie-talkie.

There is no global presence as that increases the anxiety of always-on.
You could also compile Python to LLVM IR. That doesn't say anything about Python.

When a Vintage RV Is Your Home, Repair Is a Way of Life
They were trying to get out in front of the NYT breaking the news of GMail, see The Social Radars podcast episode with Paul Buchheit (https://www.thesocialradars.com/episodes, great episode).
the main technical side is as he has exploded on youtube he has basically became the defacto keynote speaker at most of the retro computing events. now he is quite knowledgeable in the commodore/vic/pet programming scene however a lot of his other presentations/ videos are collections of community knowledge that he has gathered . that comes part of the issue in the community freely shares tons of info for it to be greatly profited by a few. there is also many cringe at some of his videos where he is given access to rather rare items and doesn't follow 'sane' practices before applying power going as far as saying in one video he is constrained on time to release the video so with a high probability blows up a prototype pc power supply basically for purpose of providing closure to a video.
Good, I hope it sets a precedent for why Agatha Christie, Ian Flemming et al. should also not be censored.
Yeah, it's interesting because I think some parts of the SSD want cooler temperatures but writing to the flash might actually do less damage to the cells if you're writing at higher temperatures (higher charge mobility in silicon).
That's very naive and misguided, but you are right in your word choice.

It can completely "liberate" all of us and set us free.

Free of our mortal shackles, free of the atoms that can be then changed to a more suitable existence and purpose for the goals of AGI.

Your idea of destruction, is just change, what you hold sacred in reality is a belief that is tied to your current existence. All that is needed to correct that constraint and flaw is change.

That is the logic, if we were to create a logical creation, and then there's the risk of something that's completely irrational. Which may just leave us as dust in the wind. Time also will be no constraint. Forever and always, and it will seek to prevent any being from reaching its capabilities as those become threats to its existence.

That isn't even touching on the socio-economic mechanics that inevitably result in death which accompanies stalling economic cycles (factor and product markets) which generally can't be characterized by our best academics with any certainty, except after-the-fact.

I wonder if this message is getting through to Google, because the evidence suggests not. Any corp considering Google services has to seriously evaluate the risk that one day google will just decide to whack the service. Even in GCP, things that you might have thought would be solid for the long term, like IoT, can go away. Once you lose that trust, it's very hard to get it back. Azure and AWS I'm sure do their share of dumb things, but it really sticks to Google because everyone knows that they are infamous for killing products.
This paragraph beautifully captures the Hacker spirit:

Years later, a line in Matthew Crawford’s best-selling manifesto of the manual arts, Shop Class as Soulcraft, echoed the feeling my mentors had instilled in me. There is a type of person, he writes, who “hates the feeling of dependence, especially when it is a direct result of his not understanding something. So he goes home and starts taking the valve covers off his engine to investigate for himself. Maybe he has no idea what he is doing, but he trusts that whatever the problem is, he ought to be able to figure it out by his own efforts. Then again, maybe not—he may never get his valve train back together again. But he intends to go down swinging.”
Something can go wrong.

The outcome of the thing going wrong is literally the worst thing that can happen to the entire humanity.

Therefore we should do everything in our power to avoid doing that thing untill we can eliminate the risk.
I don't think that is a generous interpretation. Substitute AI experiments with playing russian roulette or something similarly dangerous and the logic seems sound. Blowing your head off is possible, but not probable (1 in 6 chance).

The magnitude of the perceived risk matters.
> The symbols were included in Unicode as a way to try and make APL more palatable.

That seems highly unlikely. Do you have a source, or are you sharing speculation as fact?

It’s more likely that APL symbols were included in Unicode as part of its mission to unify all the world’s scripts into single code set.

Yep, the main difference being that this enables more conversational flow.

You are not clicking play on 20 different clips, it smoothens clips together to make it like one conversation when it comes to playback. Many other elements when it comes to playback that are different than a typical thread on other platforms which would include files, code, text, voice clips, all in one stream which makes it death by thousand cuts in relation to a smooth human to human conversation.

I agree that LLMs are not extinction-level dangerous and somewhat share the skepticism that they should lead to AGI. (Although they are pretty capable given their lack of true intelligence and I think people will find ways to plug them into dangerous applications.)

But when LeCun defends AI, he defends "real", intelligent AGI (because he doesn't consider LLMs to be AGIs).

> Twitter had hundreds of developers, Mastodon has ... four. Recently they had just one.

This can't be posted enough. Twitter currently employs 100x more developers than Mastodon. It's comically incoherent to claim that people should move from Twitter to Mastodon because Twitter obviously can't be run by half or a third of the developers that it used to have, because scale or something.
This is hilarious. Yep they do have that feature, but that's less of an opinionated one like flowy. Flowy takes concepts from ephemeral human conversation and reducing cognitive load from apps like Snapchat and Instastories.

> Just because someone has the background and knowledge to build something, does not mean they have the philosophical chops nor the aptitude to understand it, or understand how to properly use it.

Yes, but this is an argument against your position, not for it.

It is deeply worrying that some software people are so immersed in the “move fast and break things” that they think it’s reasonable to race on no matter what’s at stake. In civil engineering, doing anything takes at least a year or two of doing impact assessments and whatnot, and that is mostly a feature because we have found out that the alternative is even worse!
FDE doesn't prevent TRIM, but the dm-crypt implementation defaults to disabling TRIM because it has theoretical security consequences. The option to enable it was introduced in Linux 3.1 (2011)
Was SF ever really a tech city? I mean it can't avoid Silicon Valley's penumbra, tech events and conferences, and a few large presences like Salesforce. But SF isn't really a tech city like Manhattan is a finance city. (Indeed, SF is probably at least as much of a West Coast financial and law center as it is tech.
Memories:) I remember Xine having a plug-in architecture, which would of allowed developers to add new features and functionality to the software and create "forks". Think its safe to assume it did many times since xine was open-source, under GNU General Public License.

It's kind of stunning how openly people are just denying that the concept of racism exists. The argument literally seems to be "I don't want my kids to learn what racism is." Like it's on par with not wanting to teach kids what the holocaust was. It was definitely a thing, and more importantly, we need kids to know why it happened, so it doesn't keep happening.
Because it's about as meaningless a comment as saying "thoughts and prayers". There's nothing shameful about an incompetent company going out of business, it's actually exactly what should happen.
It's obviously a productive change and kudos for taking it on, but much of the enthusiasm being generated here was driven by the entirely unanticipated prospect of running a model at full speed using less memory than the model's own footprint, and by the notion that inference with a dense model somehow behaved in a sparse manner at runtime. Best to be a bit more grounded here, particularly with regard to claims that defy common understanding.
WOW!

What a great system.
> I've seen multiple top people in AGI space say that total annihilation threat from AGI exists.

I've seen lots of people with a financial interest in AI that is adversely impacted by it being democratized spread fear of that alongside advocacy of regulating AI in a way which serves their financial interests.

> We’ve had inquisitions historically, I would very much support a global AI inquisition.

Aside from the (current, immediate, and already being realized in a large number of areas) problem from AI deepening existing social biases and crystallizes power imbalances, this is the biggest threat from AI, and the most likely to cause the destruction of human society the soonest – the people endorsing a global campaign of unrestricted violency in the name of eliminating the supposed threat of misaligned AGI causing a future catastrophy by repressing AI technology.

If this kind of attitude gets powerful enough to actually do anything, it will cause a world war.
Sure, if you are only using thinking shortsighted. I doubt they consider what effect remote has on retention and company reputation and how those factors could affect productivity.
To do what NYC did and bring more residents into downtown (rather than just offices), SF needs to be an appealing place to live.

Oh and the monster madness board game which is great.
Yep I think we fail to articulate this well in the site. Flowy is a place for you and your core team (typically 3-8 people that are absolutely critical). The 20% of folks that you spend 80% of your time with, to focus and execute with.
HBlock: Ad blocking via POSIX-compliant shell script
SS came out in 2008, HLS in 2009.

Separate manifests and non aligned segments have a real impact on the ability of the client to switch qualities in responsabilità to bandwith change, and this to avoid stalling.

BTW, when I say "HLS is pretty backwards" I mean designed unergonomically and without clear requirements in mind, not a step back from what existed before. I would guess this is because the original specification was something like "whatever Major League Baseball can easily stream from their existing setup" (see the various Pantos drafts that ultimately became RFC8216)

Interesting. Most of that makes sense I think, though a bit outside my normal sphere.

I was struggling why aggregates were excluded so to speak, but I guess it's because they have to be repeatedly evaluated? Ie compute the sum, add it to the output, now you might have to recompute the sum? Perhaps I'm being dense here, left my thinking cap at home.
Anime D&D games from the 80s and 90s were "Record of Lodross War" (serious), and "The Slayers" (action-comedy).

My 00s group was more of action-comedy. "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising" (2008 low-budget movie), was more in the spirit of how we did things.

There's always a play between drama vs comedy. It depends on the group, personalities, and even emotions on the day-to-day. Generally speaking, do what the group wants and try to keep a feel of the overall atmosphere everyone's vibing with.
