The more likely outcome is an increase in actively managed funds. Individuals will still contribute their money into the fund just like with index investing. However, instead of simply tracking an index, the fund would have a (team of) professional investors deciding how to invest on an ongoing basis, in exchange for a management fee. These exist today and are no more difficult to invest in than index funds. Of course, these also have higher overhead than index funds and, at the moment. Currently they are not popular because their performance relatively to an index does not justify their increased fees. If alpha gets high enough, this will stop being true and slowly the popular wisdom will update to saying that actively managed funds give a better ROI.

There is also the Wall Street Bets class of active investors. In the current market, I'm not convinced they are actually helping. But, in a world where no one else is activly investing, they are probably better than nothing.

Can’t you adjust your config to serve the images using your own cdn with the Image component? By default maybe it’s vercel-friendly, but I recall it being trivial to adjust to use any other path instead.

Has this changed?

You could also modify the linting rules to exclude the Image rule.

Not saying vercel is awesome. I no longer use their products. I just didn’t find this particular matter to be problematic.
I’m not sure why you are being downvoted. It’s a perfectly acceptable solution and has been tried with great results in El Salvador.

I'm starting to think Aaronson is industrialising his commentaries to create his walk away wealth.

I'd be surprised if there are not deep roads in existing comp Sci, robotics and applied sciences to mine for safety principles. I don't personally see problems in A.I. itself which haven't been presaged by e.g. Norbert Weiner's decision to withdraw from bomb science, or by the Oxford institutes work on ethics in computing and networks. Or dare I say it, the therac case, or the box girder bridge disasters freeman fox brought on.

"Because a computer said it, it must be right" is a terrible basis for decision making.

Quite recently for A.I.

The most effective form of drug addiction treatment consists of using a long acting substitute and slowly tapering off.

The most common cause of overdose deaths is quitting cold turkey as people end up taking more of the drug to compensate the withdrawal.
It is maybe too strongly phrased and not universally applicable (where would sports be without competition?). But it is an interesting idea nonetheless. In general we are so deeply instilled with the notion that we should be competitive at all things. Our whole society is based on hyper competitiveness. And look where that gets us. We say that competition is a law of nature, survival of the fittest, etc. But there are a lot of synergetic, collaborative processes in nature. And, while there's competition on micro scales, don't ecosystems find their balance in what species leave for others to thrive on?

Is competition the best way, in all those cases we think it is? Or is it just the easiest, low-friction way for an individual to gain advantage? And not so much benefiting the collective. Are coopetition, collaboration, cross-pollination more advanced and sophisticated mechanisms of evolution? Maybe requiring higher levels of civilization than mankind can bring to the table right now.

But you are out of context. A box was created that outputs statements: either it has a «concept space» or just works through constructing plausible language. The poster claims leaning towards the "«concept space»" possibility - but this should not be a poll, and indications of "why" (such idea) are needed not to make the claim intellectually sterile.

It is important otherwise the users of the box may cling to an illusion - that is not advisable.

Words are there as a commodity to transfer intellectual states, a dynamic we need for practical and social achievements - otherwise, surrounded by indigence and unaware butchers, "«things [will be] harder for everyone»".
> are non-profit, and it doesn't really make sense to say that the universities is "profiting" off of overheads

IMO “non-profit” is a misnomer.

It only implies that the organisation’s owners (funders, equity holders, etc) do not take a profit.

It does /not/ mean that the people involved don’t make money - income, fees, admin overhead, building/contracts/employment favoritism, etc. There are infinite ways to leech money that don’t involve taking “profits”.

To be honest I'm not sure by reading your comment replies to me and other HN users whether you're biased or distorted. Because when you're engaged in any discussions that are not agreeable to you and was asked to produce some relevant proof or references normally you have failed to do that and instead keep relying on some abstract concepts that you considered as "facts". After that you normally resort to attacking the anonymity of the other users that is clearly unrelated and tangential to the subjects being discussed.

You’re parsing a thing so far out of its intended context that it can’t help but be absurd, because it doesn’t have any tether to the idea the person expressed at all.

You may be interested to contrast how it works in python with C. If you have something like

int * bar() {
int d[2] = {1,2};
return d;}

When you compile with gcc you get

foo.c: In function ‘bar’:
foo.c:4:8: warning: function returns address of local variable [-Wreturn-local-addr]

This is the behavior it seems like you were expecting, where the array is stored on the stack and so a pointer is invalid once the function ends.
I can vouch for commercial banking settlement systems. Far and away, they are running on IBM AS/400 mainframes. Most of the code is C or something before it. I have seen the source for more than a few in my career. The code is rock solid, if poorly tested, but it has been running so long that it is essentially bug free. If any changes need to be made, first, unit tests are written to find all the edge cases in old code. Then, refactor + add new business logic. It's not perfect, but it works much better than anyone from the outside could imagine. And, I agree with your "normie" comment. The code is _so_ bland. Zero tricks, ever. The goal is to write code that will last 15-30 years. No joke.
An algorithm could be anything, right? Maybe they analyzed the middle school report cards of executives and majority shareholders, and tied that to value over time in a way that the S&P 500 did. Maybe there's some telling data point that people have never looked at before.

I agree that predicting future price based on the current price has likely been tried to death by billions of hedge funds, but who knows, maybe they found something new that nobody has ever noticed. And, you can come up with the best stock trading algorithm in history and still not have the capital necessary to execute it, so it's possible that portfolio results don't matter.

I'm not saying anything is likely here, merely that we have nowhere near enough data to even speculate or offer advice.

Do you mean an ebike ridden 2,000 km for errands and 8,000 km for fun; vs. the 2,000 km for the bike, for errands, but no biking for fun? That is, are you implying that the ebike is a lot more fun than a regular bike?

Or are you comparing 10,000 km on an ebike; vs. a bike ridden 2,00 km and some other personal vehicle used for 8,000 km? That is, are you implying that a human-powered bike means people will overall use worse forms of transport?

Or do you mean something else?
Australia is also undergoing something of an energy crisis where our quality of life is at risk. I would not recommend our grid management policies to anyone. SA, famous for installing the Big Battery, is leading the charge with retail prices at ~35c/kWh [0].

These are policies that could very well mean that we have less energy available for use; mainly for ideological reasons. Someone is going to bear the brunt of that. It is lucky we can outsource our manufacturing to other South East Asian countries; but the trends we're seeing are terrible for Australia.

That is outrageously wrong information.

Half the ownership of the US stock market is from households and mutual funds, with a third from the former.

The other half is mainly Etfs underlyings and pension funds.

Hedge funds represent less that 5% of the total US market ownership.
I guess 40K Dawn of War–style squad-based RTS would work decently with touch, as there are no individual units to select (with few exceptions, but e.g. Ork builder is also a squad), and there's way less micro compared to e.g. Starcraft.

That said, I'd still prefer keyboard and mouse over a touch screen.
> So to those that think FAANG is some badge of honor, don't believe the hype, I don't think FAANG employment is a meaningful signal at all.

I honestly think FAANG employees sank their own boat. The constant bragging of how little work the do in a week on anonymous forums, and the "day in the life" videos that show everything but work. Despite their bragging about being 10x, I don't see any proof of it.

The 1% of SWE though are very good (especially older employees with years of experience e.g. Rob Pike). The rest of the 89%, as you say, are mediocre at best. A Google employee in 2010 is not the same as a Google employee in 2020.

> 1. GPT-3 can speak native-level french despite the language only being 1.8% of it's training corpus.

I personally think 1.8% is a lot. If I lived in France for 1.8% of my life, and aggressively consumed only French for that time, I would probably speak French too: I learned English faster than that.

> 2. GPT-3 can follow instruction in other languages just fine despite the instruct tuning data being almost entirely in English.

Almost every language in Europe shares a lot of words and idioms, and English took every one it could, so training on English is training it on those other languages.

> 3. LLMs trained on code demonstrably reason better.

What? No. Nonsense. I haven't seen any demonstration of reasoning. LLM's are more like the cargo-cult tribes watching things they don't understand and mimicking those things; Sure, they built an airport, but it doesn't work, and that makes all the difference.

> It's fairly obvious pre-trained LLMs aren't really operating at just the word/token level.

What's obvious is that there's a relationship between words/tokens and ideas. What is not obvious is how far that relationship goes.

> You’ve just described what is called “competition”. Having to lower prices to keep up with competitors.

The people who think that ChatGPT will make knowing a language irrelevant are the same types who think you can "learn to code" in a couple months and suddenly be able to do everything an experienced developer can (lots of businessy managers). Or that by having wikipedia you know everything and that being able to read out a wikipedia article in a discussion is the same as knowing about something. Or that they can go to a foreign country with google translate and have real conversations with people.

In all cases, there is some shallow version that you really can do and claim success, but it should clearly be not real or particularly useful, and this is just another thing on the list.

Anthropic plans to spend $1B on compute to train Claud-Next-10X (10x the size of GPT-4 according to their own leaked documents) over the next 18 months. They also plan to raise $5B over the next 5 years. OpenAI has secured over $10B in funding.

GPT-3 is not GPT-3.5 or GPT-4. Each costs exponentially more than the last in compute and dollars.

>Whether the street drugs are produced in a quality-controlled way or not, it is well-known that use of the substances has negative outcomes in health and occupational functioning.

No, the problem is that this is an urban myth. There have been drug clinics that let trained staff inject people with clinical heroin and other drugs with no adverse health effects and often the controlled dosage ended up so low that the drug users maintained self awareness and the high wasn't present or extremely weak.

The clinic was shut down after twenty years of success because people were jealous of drug addicts without health consequences.

A single digit number of people died from overdoses on street dugs within a week of closing the clinic. I wouldn't call that harm reduction.

The truth is that most of the drugs that people want to take voluntarily are perfectly safe and it is the illegal distribution system that adds unsafe cutting agents with severe health consequences.

The Kemper amp is mathematically super elegant. Two matrices A and B, and one nonlinearity in between. That’s it. All the noise profiling does is figure out A and B, which correspond to the impulse response before and after the distortion.

When you send through a clean signal, you measure A*B. When you get distortions, you know you’re only measuring B (because they are introduced after A). Then you derive A from that.

I don't know if this is really similar, but maybe it's a bit related. One of my friends and I decided to write 100 words a day for 30 days. Two other friends ended up joining our little project. I kept it up for about 100 days, and it made writing much easier for me. Also, about 2 months ago, I decided to spend about 30 minutes a day writing. It is amazing how much easier writing became for me. (When I was young, I found writing to be very painful. The only C's I got in college were in English. Nowadays, I think of my self as a writer --- not a good writer, but a writer.)
