I still can't believe the Metaverse is the core strategy of a major global corporation. I've been deep in technology my entire life and I honestly couldn't even tell you what the Metaverse is. I can talk all day long about AI or crypto or online gaming or how to build web apps but gun to my head, I could not give even a rough definition of what the metaverse is or is supposed to be.
Could they have added the list of models? Ugh
Well, the 3 options they tested are on your link. It is a very limited set, but this one specific mistake isn't there.

I would still hold to the obvious (label above or left of the widget) until it is replicated, as the study isn't of very high quality.
Ready to make developer programming easier.
A website would be hard pressed to emulate a keyboard plugged into my computer.
Worst case, Twitter can set up something like "system accounts" that automatically fetch headlines from news websites or RSS feeds and post them with links on Twitter.
1. SpaceX and Tesla do not publish news

2. If by "easy loans" you mean competing for contracts with the likes of BlueOrigin, Raytheon and Boeing, you ought to drop the word 'easy'

3. If the goal is getting back at the industry, one questions whether Elon Musk wouldn't have had an easier time just buying up a bunch of the papers like Bezos and Murdoch

4. Unlike the previous Twitter regime, Musk allows organisations free reign to critique anyone and anything they like. They just have to disclose who's paying for the criticism is all :)
I found his remarks about how (modern, ML-based) AI is the winter for Lisp interesting and congruent with how I see things currently. At the end of the day, many of the hardest problems in computing are solved best by simply throwing more compute (esp. matrix and array), memory, and data at them. Today's Lisp machines are GPGPU.
The article frequently mentions costs but never gives any numbers or a point of reference. As an outsider to LLM and training I find this disorienting.

What would be e.g. a total cost for a project like this?
Twitter defines state-affiliated media as:

> outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. [1]

This isn't an accurate description of NPR. The government has no control over the content.

> NPR receives less than 1% of its direct funding from the federal government [2]

Even Twitter recognized this and walked back the labeling. [3]

If you have residency permit, that gets updated. If you don't have (EU citizen) then having done the registration is enough. (I think GPs wording isn't particularly precise: what matters is the registration - and if you have a German ID document, then that gets updated at that point)
lol you wish
Perhaps more relevantly, by expanding the use of labels indicative of state association beyond the original use of “state-affiliated media” for those orgs which are editorially controlled by governments, Musk decreases the impact and clear distinction of that label, further normalizing and empowering the actual editorially-controlled state propaganda outlets operating on Twitter.
KZG Polynomial Commitments
Tesla, a government-funded company, has the ability to remotely disable your car. Surely they'd be happy to do this at the government's request, no? Locking your car mid-drive and rerouting you using FSD because you said something the government didn't like?

SpaceX, a government-funded company, has the ability to put all kinds of invasive, espionage-focused payloads into space.

The point is, if we're going to insinuate that NPR is doing the bidding of the US government simply because a portion (however large or small) of the money they receive comes from the government, then we can insinuate the same kind of sentiment towards Musk's companies.

If you think it's important to know that a media company takes government money, why wouldn't it be important to know if other companies in other industries are similarly connected?
I'd like to see a placebo study where they have 2 placebos:

1. This medicine will cure your muscle pain, but it has very bad side effects: Insomnia, depression, back pain, knee pain - but don't worry only a small percentage of people see these issues (like 1%)

2. This medicine will cure your muscle pain, and has no side effects, in fact it will make you happy and help you sleep better.
> What other networks do homes have? Every WiFi ISP router I have used provides a single network and DHCP server. Perhaps some routers provide both a public and private WiFi and the consumer doesn't understand which one they should pick but that is the fault of the ISP.

Think of times when your phone might not have connected to WiFi because you just got home, or are in some random dead spot. Or it just... isn't for a moment.

From the perspective of many consumers, without that always-available-via-cloud central point, it's then "broken".

Put it all in the cloud and so long as the phone and the device can get to "the internet" it'll be working.
>> Homesteading is a dream of mine, but I may be too rooted in the comforts of working in tech for it. Maybe if I win the startup lottery.

-I guess that depends on how you define homesteading; I quite enjoy myself living on a farm with no animals larger than a cat (And I could do without the cat, thankyouverymuch!), having a day job in engineering and spending some - well, a lot of - my sparetime picking up useful skills, like how to fix a tractor on the cheap, forestry, digging trenches, building sheds, maintaining said sheds, filling them with firewood, repaving roads...

I have the good fortune of having my in-laws living next door, though; they've been running the farm since forever and I pick up all sorts of useful things, not to mention they still put in a ton of work. I wouldn't even be able to keep the land from degrading unless we had them to help us out; so homesteading, even by a quite loose definition of the term, means you'll have a hard time doing it part-time.

Hence winning the startup lottery first probably is a good idea; then you can (with any luck) outsource some of the back-breaking stuff, too.
Power is especially expensive in Europe right now. The war in Ukraine caused price increases between 300% and 1000%
Is it even theoretically possible to have data passthrough a power bank?

I don’t know much about USB, but I’d imagine that only the power delivery pins are connected to anything, right?
Yeah, it's really odd and circular. You can often present a lease agreement if you're renting an apartment or house. If you own, you can usually present a mortgage statement. If you own and don't have a mortgage (because you purchased with cash), you can use bank statement and/or phone statement. But what's funny is, how do you get the bank statement and/or phone statement? You usually have to show a lease agreement, mortgage statement, or some other proof you own the place you live. It's fairly difficult for someone coming from another country to get those things when they first arrive because all the documents they have are from another country and the entry-level employees that have to take them would have no idea what to do with them. My foreign friends and neighbors have stories about having to use a secured credit card (basically a debit card but the machines think it's a credit card) for 6-12 months before they could get a regular credit card. It's very confusing (and arbitrary and broken) if you're not on the easy path.
This argument always bothers me a bit, because words are almost always used with "some" definition.

I wouldn't describe it as a comedy as well.

However, I'd recommend Murderbot series, it is full of humour and shares atmosphere of Bobiverse and this personal approach to characters, as well. Highly recommend.
I'm curious what distro you're using where there are missing packages. I've never run across missing distro packages on arm64 Debian (which I regularly use at work).
then you won’t mind if I mine some crypto on your machine?
You're not wrong, or the other half of the Lebowski quote, honestly. It's just going to be another one of the recent (~15 years back) technology items that are pushing the general public toward transparent lives.

I guess it's not so much an ethical issue as it is an issue of letting sleeping dogs lie. I can tell you that with a very small amount of "dna uncertainty" in my (ancestral) family, I'll never get a 23-and-me done because I just don't want to be cataloged and accidentally paired up with some random family who doesn't know what they don't know.

As long as they're opt-in services, it's not a huge issue for me, just... the first wave of people doing this will be in for some uncomfortable surprises.
If you've spent any time on here you know that no one actually clicks the links to read the article. Users need only trust the pages with an orange header.
How much ram is likely needed on an apple arm for models like this? And for general use, 64, 96, 128? Trying to decide how large I should go for a new laptop.
Then you're already using your IDE to run your binary.

If you want to build a local or cloud-based test server, you can create a Docker image on your machine and automate it to build and then run tests.
Your daughter can use the new learning tutor, based on generative AI, that helps with her coursework and learn new materials. It's like an expert tutor in a bunch of fields that she didn't have access to before -- at least not at a reasonable price.

Now your daughter has learned a lot more, has opened up a world of possibilities and this helps her get a job (or create a company) that helps her buy a new home.

Also for video games, they could use these generative AIs to create more immersive characters and worlds. Your video game experience just became much better -- especially if you're drinking while playing.

And if you play sports at a local level, generative AI can take in as input a bunch of rosters and play-by-play data (maybe eventually creating the play-by-play data directly from video) and being able to output stories about games. Today coverage of local and club sports is limited because of resources -- but if you could apply AI to this problem then you're local bowling league could almost be covered like the NFL on the web.

EDIT: And another thing -- which actually is something we started doing now. You have a personal medical assistant that you use with your doctor to ensure that your wife gets the help she needs with her current condition. Joe Sixpack is happy that it is much less likely that the doctor misses something "obvious".
That hasn't been my experience. I joined a couple months ago and I have yet to see a single instance of toxicity in my feeds or replies. But I am guessing it greatly depends on the type of groups and content you interact with.

The great thing about Mastodon is that it doesn't push anything in my face that I didn't subscribe to.
But what does it has to do with VR in general? You don't have to use any of Meta social apps to use VR.

And Fox News had a direct line to the White House and was influenced heavily by it. Was it not just as biased?
Typical cope response "the crime is not happening". We're so far beyond debating whether it's happening, don't try to gaslight people. Just walk around the damn city, there's filth, drug use, harassment, tent-cities. Don't talk-down standards as if it is a requirement to live like this... we can have clean safe cities without these problems, it is only a matter of will and enforcement.
That is, it's not quite as simple as saying you just need to sample at any frequency at least twice the bandwidth. Rather, it's the more complicated behavior described by this graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undersampling#/media/File:Samp.... That is, the general rule is that the ratio of the highest frequency in the signal to half the sample rate, and the ratio of the lowest frequency in the signal to half the sample rate, have to lie within an interval of consecutive natural numbers.

When the lowest frequency is zero, this is the familiar rule that the sample rate has to be at least twice the highest frequency in the signal. But more generally, it's more complicated.
> Does GE or John Deere write software for their hardware? Absolutely. Are they colloquially considered "tech" companies? No.

Because tech is not their primary line of business.

> Twitter is a media company (they distribute media).

A media company is the thing that produces media, not the thing that distributes it. Cogent is not a media company.
So ultimately, after all this spilled ink, the argument boils down to a debate about left-wing vs. right-wing politics. Sure, we’ve gone this far, why not continue.

I just want you consider one thing: Is it really “the left’s” fault that eugenics have been tied to IQ research, or should we perhaps blame the number of eugenicists which promoted this construct. I’ll let you decide on that. But also remember that known eugenicist and disgraced psychologist Richard Lynn was on the editorial board for the science journal Intelligence until 2018, they very same journal that published the paper OP posted some 30 parent posts ago about the supposed evidence for the Reverse Flynn effect. But I’m sure you can find a way to blame that on left wing politics as well.
discussing incentives is understandable (even though your analogy doesn't fit because the government's minor funding isn't what's keeping NPR funded)

suggesting that actual impropriety or improper influence occurs as a result is a conspiracy theory, and we'd need to see actual evidence that it actually happened to avoid dismissing it out of hand

Never said either of those things. There is more to an EV than the battery.

But OK, I respect your opinion that these don't go to landfills vs my watching 10k Fiat EV batteries go to a landfill, which wasn't some spectacular event, but basically a Thursday.

You want to bet what happened to these 100-150k batteries with bad chemistry? They went to the landfill homie.

>But you are right lobbying and bad choices led to larger cars. However the solution was to force those under the same law and only allow very targeted exception with special licenses.

I can not agree that the problem with regulation/legislation/lobbying is just double more harder.

> I do think intelligence is something more than data storage and retrieval. I believe it is adaptive behavior thinking about what data I have, what I could obtain, and how to store/retrieve it. I could be wrong, but that's my hypothesis.

Basing assertions of fact on a hypothesis while criticizing the thinking of other people seems off.

That is not a precautionary attitude. I don't know how a candle left unattended in the middle of my granite counter island could light anything on fire, there aren't any drapes near it, but I'm not going to leave it unattended so I can find out.
You've pretty much nailed what I've been thinking about when comparing generative AI hype to crypto/metaverse hype.

I keep hearing this argument that generative AI has more utility, making it more "real". Sure, but they're missing the point, which is that people made some pretty ridiculous claims about the future utility of crypto / metaverse ($100k bitcoin, metaverse real-estate speculation) rather than the present day possibilities, and they're continuing to make ridiculous claims about the future utility of AI (the end of web development, AGI soon, etc).

The hype isn't about present day possibilities, but about future speculation, and the future speculation can get off-the-rails crazy.

> That's ridiculous -- of course benefits can outweigh psychological side-effects.

I understood the grandparent post to mean that the harm can sometimes outweigh the benefits when the vaccine is forced. Not that it's always the case.

> If a vaccine for a deadly, highly communicable disease can completely stop transmission

Are you suggesting that the COVID vaccines were able to completely stop transmission?
If you haven't done so already, see if you can connect with someone on the music side, particularly someone used to working with programmable sound buttons. The combination of your setup plus programmed sound macros could result in something fascinating.
Can't see how this is news. Given his holdings "he would say that wouldn't he".
I think one of the best cases against crypto, is just how much the volatility in Crypto is a feature not a bug. Crypto is how people will make it rich, and rising 7% in a year doesn't enable that. Imagine a world where crypto routinely beat the major indexes by a point, so bitcoin being worth now around $1500, Eth $200. They would have been one of the most fantastic investments you could have made, and still a robust currency, but how much hype would they have made?

GP posted an article by someone who was then (and appears to still be[1]) a professor of psychology at Pepperdine. If he's not an academic then we are fairly far into "no true Scottsman" at this point.

I also forgot about the Bragas who were child psychologists at the University of Miami who have been accused by defendants (and their team) of inducing false allegations that put at least 3 people in jail.

mathematicians do not do math all day. there is probably a point of diminishing returns where more doing more math is not useful.
The scenario was talking about a power bank where you plug a USB cable into, not where you plug your own power adapter into. Lots of people, myself included, don’t carry power adapters or even charging cables on them on a day-to-day basis.

Using your own power adapter and own power cable you will be fine.

Unless someone has tampered with either of them while you were distracted momentarily but that’s too high risk/inconvenient for an attacker for you to worry about.
This is only true if you believe that the purpose of punishment is rehabilitation. Depending on how severe the punishments it absolutely can affect crime rates. This is a very simple problem to solve. Remove the people from the streets. Punish drug dealers with severe, harsh penalties. Keep escalating until it stops. Do you think if we rounded up all the criminals and put them in jail, the crime wouldn't decline? Of course it would. It is only a matter of will and degree of punishment/enforcement.
A lot of prompts for finding good business ideas and validating the idea after.
What's the leg room and seat width in those things? I am wondering whether a three-row Yaris could comfortably fit a modern American man - tall and with borderline-obese BMI - in any of its 7 seats.
Because it is digital. Other technology adoption was slow to spread, because it couldn't simply be cloned and integrate immediately with most pre-existing infrastructure.

AI can be copied and can integrate with a lot of existing infrastructure right out of the box. Combine this with the magnitude of the capabilities and our societal "immune system" doesn't stand a chance of being ready for whatever is about to emerge. That lack of time to learn and adapt is a massive difference.

Can I just say how much I liked the small details here? Like your choice of matching sweatbands, your jazz hands on the last symbol, your choice of pose for backspace, and the commit message, "Updated readme for pedantry". In your honor, I am performing the chef's-kiss gesture. (Which I hope you will include as you add emoji to your input device.)
it sounds, then, that you'd agree with an accurate compromise:

"receives a small amount of funding from the federal government but maintains editorial independence"

all true, so better than the current label
I guess in a way, OAI chose the right approach in neglecting Dall-E and basically left the scene to Midjourney and Stable Diffusion. I think with their capability and resources, OAI can easily make something competitive to the current Midjourney and SD but they instead focused on the bigger picture to better fit their capabilities.

Small models on the scale of a few billions parameters is probably best left to crowd sourcing efforts because almost everyone can do it. Dealing with large models like GPT and engineering entirely new approaches like this one is more expensive and not easily done by the community. So I guess it is the most efficient use of resources on both side.
