Like I said: if there are signs that it deserves legal personhood, that's a sign that the AI has been allowed to progress far too much, and we need drastic measures to expunge that AI, and prohibit further deployment and development of it.

Conscious AI, and especially one with legal personhood, poses a totally unacceptable risk of causing the extinction of humanity. That you suggest preempting this by granting AI personhood is totally blind to how this would play out. No policy would be more dangerous for humanity than what you propose.

San Francisco was a thriving tourist city with a hip downtown close to Silicon Valley and Berkeley. Major venture capitalists set up shop in the city for basically no other reason than they thought it was cool and they wanted to be around other cool VCs (this is based on the impression I got from Ben Horowitz's book).

The whole "talent pool" was a self-fulfilling prophecy - there's no reason they couldn't have set up in more business friendly places like San Jose or Sacramento or even Nashville Tennessee for that matter. But it was always a bit of a flex of muscle to be in SF.

San Francisco as a city never needed these businesses. But they came anyway. So in most cities you have city planners that work really hard to build a desirable environment for attracting talent and businesses. I think people miss the point of SF's political problems.

And until Bob Lee's death, the VC class always had the money to kind of rise above San Francisco's problems and not see it for the dump it was increasingly becoming. It's as frustrating as it is needless - there are a hundred other cities in America better suited for VCs to set up shop in.
I'm 500km from an ongoing armed conflict instead of 0km.

The nearest nuclear weapon is around 800km from my location, so you could say they're pretty effective at this.

That being said I don't believe it's mainly the nuclear weapons that let me live in peace, but I like to believe they're a component of that.
Right, but VR today to that vision is the gap between the Newton and the iPhone, not the gap between the LG Prada + iPod Video and the iPhone.

Huge world-view shift from Intel. Likely the precursor to splitting the fab part of Intel from the design part with the intention of spinning one or the other off.

It also underscores the reality that Intel doesn't think it can keep its fabs busy/profitable with just its own designs anymore.
Looking through the supabase storage docs, I wasn't able to identify if storing to local disk was an option? I know it launched with S3 as a supported backend, but I'm curious to know if this ever expanded.

Or perhaps supporting Minio as a backend, which I could run on the same machine.

Okay, but tell me how it can be done if you want me to take the threat seriously. You could also say “always store your phone in a sound-isolating container because attackers can hack your phone with ultrasonics.”

"Deere and other manufacturers have expressed concerns that right to repair laws would require them to expose trade secrets, a carve-out for which was included in the Colorado bill. According to language in the rule forwarded to Polis yesterday, manufacturers may withhold information pertaining to components, their design and function, embedded software, firmware or tools "if the information is a trade secret and the usability … for the purpose of providing services is not diminished." "

then fast forward to; its all a trade secret, now lets call it a day.

Do you know what the story is with that prerequisite? Speaking for literally everyone, I'd rather have charging infrastructure I can't utilize quite yet than a car I can't charge to use quite yet.
So if you were, say, a restaurant where your local park rangers held their annual employee appreciation dinner, you are now state affiliated?
No, I succeeded.
The _easy_ thing is probably also the thing that's hard to productionize: Just agree upon a secondary channel beforehand, and if I ever text/call/send you a slightly grainy video clip you and you're concerned if its really me asking for 50 amazon gift cards, you contact me via Channel 2.

I don't think you can easily create a product to serve this, since _prior_ is the key there, and each pair of people should have their own preferred channels, since the scheme falls apart if the faker contacts you on Channel 2 first. If anything, centralizing on that part just creates a massive vulnerability.

All fusion weapons use a fission core as the spark. This is why we need plutonium or uranium for nuclear warheads.

https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/how-nuclear-weapons-work

> Modern nuclear weapons work by combining chemical explosives, nuclear fission, and nuclear fusion. The explosives compress nuclear material, causing fission; the fission releases massive amounts of energy in the form of X-rays, which create the high temperature and pressure needed to ignite fusion.
Hard to pin down precisely, but the tacos are better and more consistent in my opinion than eg. the Grullenses on El Camino in Redwood City and Palo Alto. It's also a bigger spot with murals, nicer seating, full salsa bar, and usually some people watching games around the bar. Just a great spot to stop in!

Thanks, now I have a mental image of the author as a late middle aged man in a drab brown office, working for a low-rent paper, sitting behind a desk with an old computer that hasn't changed since '98, leaning back and doing crosswords in between writing articles lamenting today's youths and technology. With maybe a overcoat and beaten up fedora hanging up behind him. He smiles slightly while working on the puzzle, hornswoggle, that's the one he's going to sneak into the next article.

All this demonstrates is that you don't know what "state affiliated" actually means.
It is Nov 14 2018. Facebook share price is $139. The WSJ publishes reports that Facebook morale is tanking. The top HN comment reads that Zuckerberg doesn't understand Facebook.

A year later, Facebook ends 50% higher. Another year later, Facebook is 30% again higher. And it happens for another year. In the end, what gets Facebook is Apple AAT but it still ends up 60% higher than when that comment was posted.

Yes! :D
What reasons do you have for believing that is true?

It seems plausible to me that a general autoregressive LLM that is capable of completing text wouldn't take that much fine-tuning to shift it from "text completion" to "instruction following".

After all, the raw GPT3 model can be made to follow instructions with just a few examples.

Consider the prompt:

What is the capital of France?

Raw GPT3, not the newer instruction-tuned variants, does not understand it's being asked a question. It offers the completion:

What is the capital of France? If a student answers with a word,
she is asked to identify the word. She is not asked whether the
capital of France is Paris. On the other hand, if the student
answers by pointing to a map, she is asked to identify the capital
of France. She is not asked whether it is Paris.

It just starts appending to the text.

But if you give it a few examples, it happily gets into instruction following mode:

The following is a transcript between a human and a helpful
AI assistant who answers questions and obeys commands.

Human: How many eggs are in a dozen?
AI: 12
Human: Say "hello" 3 times
AI: hello hello hello
Human: What is the capital of France?
AI:

GPT3 completes "Paris" here.

If you can get decent instruction/question following behavior out of a 2-shot example prompt, why do you think 15k is small for this?

> When the real story is that Musk decided to arbitrarily target an organization based on his presumptions about its political beliefs.

I'm assuming that people aren't dwelling on that because everyone already agrees that's the case.
> NOW they will have to learn that if something is out of the ordinary

I once shared this approach, but learned that the majority of people don't really want to leave their echo chambers and gladly accept anything that amplifies it. And the bad part about it is that the western world is based on democracy, and democracy is controlled by the majority. You may not care about people that are easy to manipulate, but in reality you are not the target as your voice won't matter at scale.
I try to always travel with a “USB data condom”. The one I have is called a “PortaPow”, and it’s red. It was about $10 on Amazon and it’s a great investment for scenarios where I _reasonably_ trust a power-only USB port not to have been tampered with, like the built in ports on aircraft.
Buy this truck that's more expensive and arguably less good because I told you to.

It's not your money. When you have to resort to telling people they don't need a specific product with no valid reasons other than your own subjective take, you've lost. This is why the lightning will die.

I want a good reason why I would pay more for this. And no, the slight gain in being "eco-friendly" doesn't do it for me. If I cared about that I wouldn't buy a truck whether it was EV or ICE because they're both far worse for the planet than a smaller vehicle or public transport.
I was curious about this recently, so I built a very rudimentary neural net trained on GPT generated text messages, and human generated text messages. I was able to get a surprisingly good detection accuracy with just under 1k lines from each sample set. I'm not sure it's as apocalyptic as people think.

You are quoting that source incorrectly:

>In its 2019 fiscal year, direct federal grants provided 0.6% of funding for National Public Radio... NPR does derive support indirectly, through payments from member stations that also get direct federal funding.

> NPR relies on the local stations' payments for 34% of its budget. CPB estimates its support provided 8.2% of the average station's budget in 2017, but it's more important to affiliates in smaller, rural markets
The layoffs will continue until the stock (market) improves.
Unfortunately you did not spell out what you were thinking. But I had a similar reaction.

I believe that cars in general had less weight 40 years ago. But it came at a cost of much worse crash safety in form of deformation zones and general sturdyness.

But I am sure the GP is also aware of these issues and can comment.
As the article indicates, those stations receive an average of 8% from CPB, and 5% from Federal/state/local government. The other 87% comes from elsewhere - 43% of it as individual donations.

If they're "government funded" as a result, slap the label on Walmart and McDonalds. They can't operate without Federal funding, either. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/walmart-and-mcdonalds-among-...

Yes we can fake more, but there are also more ways to get information so its harder to suppress true info. I think the two cancel each other out.
This is disappointing rhetoric that I would like to see improved. Homework is not inherently classist or, even by extension, racist. The practice of assigning and completing homework is affected by the conditions that are often associated with (but not always caused by) class and race. The labels of ‘classist’ and ‘racist’ are absolutes, indicating a 1-to-1 causal relationship that is not present here. It would be better to state that homework, as employed by many teachers today, may be (or arguably is) less effective at promoting learning across all economic and racial categories.

The idea behind homework is sound: it gives the student additional study time than is available during school. If additional time studying has positive outcomes, then homework is a positive concept. If some students do not have the time, environment, or support for this added study, it is reasonable to look for ways to support and enable their success instead of effectively penalizing them for circumstances outside of their control.

Using terms like ‘classist’ and ‘racist’ discards much needed nuance.
> They don't want VR in their life. People want more REALITY in their life, not less.

For myself, I 100% agree.

Musk (and Trump) are really, really good at vocally saying things everyone agrees with to cover the fact they're doing the exact opposite. They're populist champions to such a degree that their supporters (and even the media / independents) can't fathom they don't actually care at all.

Free speech, no wars, anti-corruption in DC, etc. These are all things most people agree with. If some of the stuff Trump/Elon did secretly leaked, people would be going crazy. But they've mastered the art of publicly being hypocrites, to the degree that the average person just genuinely can't wrap their heads around.

Like, how can Elon publish "The Twitter Files" and then literally just do way worst stuff with way less accountability, and have people still believe he's a champion for free speech?
And if you'd read my post, you'd note I already covered that.
The problem with NPR right now is that good content and content creators get snatched up immediately by bigger organizations once they gain any traction at NPR.

Joshua Johnson and his show 1A was the main case of this for me. The guy was running a top-notch show before NBC yoinked him up to the big leagues.

Sometimes going to work involves manipulating things in a hazardous environment and VR can make it easier to do that sort of stuff remotely. Similarly, augmented reality makes it easier to do things when you need dynamic information about a task and you've got your hands full doing the thing.

Get VR and AR _really_ good for those sorts of use cases (and I think there's some money in that stuff) and it becomes a lot easier to expand into other areas.
If I change my query to be more specific

Write a program that keeps track of the name and weight of each person added, sorted by weight, lightest to heaviest. The input should be a command line prompt asking for input in 3 fields - first name, last name, weight. If two people have the same weight, order them alphabetically by last name. At the end, when a blank line is entered, print the list with headings first name, last name, weight. Check the input, if it's not 3 sections or empty, print an error explaining the input format.

497 input characters, 1317 output characters.

In the case of a detailed or verbose spec, you're probably right. I'm just replying to the assertion that it generally takes many words of English to equal little code. If that were true, nobody would be using ChatGPT to scaffold.

Now, if you're going to be detailed about -how- each line should look, I'd agree that English would be more verbose than code.
By this logic there would so many companies that are "federally funded" that the label itself would become irrelevant.
The contrast is between NPR, PBS, BBC, etc., and, say, Russia Today.

The difference between these is obvious.
This isn't just about NPR itself. They depend on local broadcast networks to reach their audience. How much does government grants influence the local stations? I know in my state, the majority of local public radio funding comes from the government.
Besides the fact that they receive only a tiny percentage of their funding from the government the bigger issue is that of editorial control and NPR is pretty clean as far as I can see. Unlike most of the other entities labeled 'State Affiliated Media'.

Naming NPR in one breath with those others is intentionally tarnishing them and playing to the crowd, which is something that Elon has been engaging in in a very specific manner since he took over Twitter. Trying to suggest that this is appropriate is edging pretty close to that cartoon about people jumping in to defend Musk in the most weird ways.

I don't see Tesla's account labelled as State Affiliated and yet, if we were to judge solely by the amount of funds received they would qualify long before NPR would.
How does PG&E have the authority to regulate the instalation of EV charging? Do you mean they won't install a higher amp service panel like 200A instead of 150A?

If that's the case, it's not that crazy or unusual. While you used to be able to pay to upgrade your service panel, if everyone on the same block or segment of the grid all wants the higher service panel then it will require upgrades to the existing electrical lines and sub stations.

It makes a lot of sense to limit installing larger service panels to customers who will actual use it rather than haphazardly over provision the grid. But you can still easily charge an EV at 50A on a standard 150A or even 100A panel.
How do you justify GDPR compliance?

GDPR compliance is not to be confused with privacy.

You don't have Data Protection Officer (even if you have one, you ought to publish their details). Neither does Plausible.

Your privacy policy lacks details, e.g.: where you process data and what is data retention.

You are incorporated in not an Adequate Country, meaning you face challenges becoming GDPR-compliant without additional measures that span beyond SCCs. Similarly to Fathom (BC is not under PIPEDA, hence is not adequate).

Privacy-friendly? Probably.
GDPR-compliant? No.
That funding page says 31% of NPR's revenue comes from programming fees from member stations. Some of the 8% "other revenues" and 5% "PRSS contract" sound like they may come from member stations too, so let's call it 40% total from member stations as a best guess.

Member stations themselves receive 13% of their revenue from the CPB (8%) and "federal, state, and local governments" (5%). Let's call that piece about 10% as a best guess of the federal-only part.

40% from member stations, which themselves get 10% from the Feds, is 4% additional from the Feds, bringing up NPR's federal revenue from the 1% they said to an all-in total of 5%.

It seems that NPR's statement is a bit misleading, but not that materially so.

(I'm as surprised as many of you may be, readers -- I thought they were much more federally funded as well.)

My accounting skills are less than amateur, so please point out anything I may have missed. I'm not quite sure if 40% of 10% computation is a sound representation of what's going on.
People like to blame the politicians for what’s happening. However the politicians are not electing themselves.

The problem is the people who with great intentions make things worse. Wait a few minutes until someone posts that “statistically it doesn’t happen and you are wrong”.
I think folks who don’t follow the media industry would be surprised how much federal money makes its way around. The U.S. military alone has an annual marketing budget over $400 million, most of which goes to media companies.

There is also the 2nd order effect of major government contractors who spend heavily on brand advertising, which is in turned funded by revenue from government contracts. NPR actually gets most of its “government funding” this way, as private membership dues from local radio stations (who themselves receive some federal grants).

Personally what matters to me is editorial independence from the government, not where single digits of revenue come from. And NPR is undeniably as editorially self-directed as any other media company.
Asimov's "Solaria" comes to mind:

> Originally, there were about 20,000 people living in vast estates individually or as married couples. There were thousands of robots for every Solarian. Almost all of the work and manufacturing was conducted by robots.

In our particular universe, "thousands of robots" ended up being "thousands of chatbots", but still, eerily similar.

All of your condescension aside, statistics tell the entire story. Crime in NY was, for many decades, far worse than it is now.

By that logic, SpaceX gets most of its money from the federal government, therefore it is "state-affiliated."
