Because they defined the word "emergent" in a way that is misleading, likely to make their study seem more interesting. To quote the article:

> [W]e defined an emergent ability as an ability that is “not present in small models but is present in large models.”

It's not a bad study but using that word in that way is extremely poor communication, which has predictably been seized upon by every breathless nontechnical AI enthusiast.
Google Releases GA of Assured Open Source Software Service
Do you think this service adds any value for enterprises that the open source communities themselves cannot offer?
How does this compare to openai ? Curious if anyone has any anecdotes.
So, US proposes to basically do nothing and hope that technology will improve its emissions to something that's not remotely tolerable. That Biden sure is a epic leader.
I still use it for null/undefined checks, because it’s almost always what’s intended/expected. I was surprised to find out recently that this is even a remotely controversial take.

I do try to use the newer language features like nullish-coalescing and optional chaining to make the check less necessary, but sometimes it makes more sense (clearer code, less unnecessary code execution) to check for null/undefined and return early.
The main problem is that if the service provider has no proof that they legitimately had a contract signature, the account holder can reverse the transaction for much longer.
I wonder if this would work with Alpaca too. I'm not a coder, but I did manage to get llama.cpp running with Alapaca.
The analogous attack would be, exploiting a bug in the network card or wpa_supplicant. The latter has happened in an airport before.
> AI is the future, and he's clearly trying to pivot

I don't really understand this take. Generative AI is a complement to the metaverse. Biggest problem metaverses face is having good content since it's quite a bit more difficult to create. Using generative AI to fill the metaverse is not a pivot, it's been the plan all along.
How do you actually prevent this though?

At this point the trajectory toward human-level cognitive capabilities seems quite likely, reachable maybe in only years.

It is also quite unclear if further hardware advances are even needed to achieve that, or if advances in architecture, algorithms and training methods might suffice (so even less opportunity to lock things out).
Sorry if my question is stupid, I am completely new to this. But, why exactly is a Weights and Biases account needed? I thought the training is running in vast.ai
So I believe we put too many people in jail for too long. I think our justice system is pretty broken. Having said that, to fix it I never thought of just letting people commit crimes like areas in California seem to be doing. That's just as asinine but in the other direction.

I always imagined giving people much lighter sentences for most things and if they repeat, then give them harsher and harsher sentences. Only the worst repeat offenders would get what they get today. I imagined not overcharging people hoping to scare someone into a plea. I imagined police not being able to interrogate and lie to children without a parent present. I imagined getting rid of pre textual stops to get innocent people's id's. I imagined "I smell marijuana," as not allowable probable cause. I imagined removing most K9 units. I imagined removing most SWAT units except for the largest cities. I imagined being able to remove bad police, bad prosecutors and bad judges from their positions of power. I never imagined letting people commit crimes with no fear of any repercussions.
Don't worry it'll probably just exterminate us anyway then fake news doesn't matter.
hacker news is a link aggregator
As a researcher, this sounded interesting so I had a look. The first paper that caught my eye (https://paperlist.io/post/247381561) has a bunch of "generic" (lacking substance; could be generated) comments that I find a bit uncanny. Three of them have the same style of being all lower-case (even the name of R, the programming language being discussed). Doesn't make me want to engage.

... and now I also noticed that the paper summaries are AI-generated! That's an anti-feature for me, at present.
IMO, Java won't be decent until Valhalla is completed. The broken type system is a really big downside compared to C#.

That excerpt isn't about their funding. The CPB funds (in part) public radio stations.

Many of those public radio stations purchase NPR-produced content. (And from other similar providers like American Public Media (Marketplace), PRX (This American Life), etc.)

NPR's customers can't afford NPR's offerings without said Federal funding, which is why NPR's particularly interested in it.

What makes me so negative is that it has a tremendous productivity boost regardless the intentions. ChatGPT saves you hours daily generating content, but it makes it as easy to generate convicing content on any subject, at scale.

It may be in your nature to question everything you see, hear or read. I'm pretty sure that's not the case for the vast majority of population. And as magical ChatGPT seems to all the tech and non-tech people, it is really difficult to predict what it will look like in 30 years from now. It may now take 100 trolls to spread fake news about Ukraine on Twitter.

In 5 years from now it might take one prompt and you will be able to cover every single social media on the planet in convicing information from many spectrums of the opinions. What you might see could be 10 people violently arguing on the internet, whilst its all bots whose only purpose is incite emotions and polarize people.
Realistically speaking, it’s hard for many adults to get into a position where they can go without a job for a few years, even if you are at a high-paying company like Meta. A lot of Meta employees are at places with high cost of living, and you can try to live frugally, but frugality doesn’t solve your problems instantly.

I think we can be sympathetic to the insecurity these people have without considering whether they put themselves in that position. There is a combination of internal (psychological) and external (environmental) factors at play here.
I wasn’t trying to be disparaging. Just informing the poster, sharing a bit of proofreading feedback in the hope they found it helpful.

> I think OP means like blogspam news scam shit.

The bad-faith commenters, YouTube, journalists and other types who have an axe to grind already happily cite garbage sources without verifying (or perhaps caring) when making their motivated arguments and there's more than enough out there to back up whatever BS they're trying to spew any minute. I don't see how quantity available changes that. And of course AI can be deployed in the counter direction. I think (hope) you need a qualitative change in order to tip the balance of power.
My brother is a contractor in the Bay Area and he told me that PG&E will not allow the installation of 220 volt EV charging infrastructure in new construction or a home remodel unless the homeowner can prove they already own an EV. Add to that the issue of people who live in apartment buildings and condos and I don't see how we can scale up consumer demand quickly enough.
I dont see how it matters, this is for the usecase that there is already an established and verified account with e.g Facebook. Many betting or crypto sites do passport and video verifications, Facebook can do the same. Then all the child has to do is login via the Facebook app as usual, on iPhones via biometrics but it doesn't have to be biometrics. It can be any kind of 2fa or tripple verification. Authenticator code + email + sms + app login, simply cutting down on the likelihood that someone is a fake person. Then the parent can see which verifications were done by the child on the Facebook dashboard to see if the kid is alive and able to do verifications instead of whatever else the attacker claims.
I think you meant to say that the bank verification process can be socially engineered... well first of all to actually do that you also need a lot of fake documents and expertise and the bank has to utterly fail at their job. Which hopefully prompts governments to require in person meetings at the offline location for future bank accounts.
> The fact they take any money at all from the gov makes them sate-affilated.

In that case, very nearly every business (including mom and pop shops) is "state affiliated" and one has to ask why NPR is being singled out for this.
> instead of having an open API usable by any easily-authenticable entity

It’s intentionally mediated through banks. We don’t want to create a money-laundering system—that is an explicit lesson learned from crypto. (We also want a layer that can absorb fraud. Another lesson from crypto.) But there are banks who will API it for KYC’d clients.
I guess trickle-down economics doesn’t work.
Ditto, this is release early release often without necessarily meaning move fast and break things. Other teams can do the equivalent of Alpaca to Llama and we can all learn for the next round.

It should incentivize manufacturers to build a lot more Nissan Leafs (111 MPGe) and a lot fewer F-150 Lightnings (68 MPGe).
You wrongfully assume I want to have any sort of conversation with the converts. The only conversation I want to have with them is to tell them to stay bloody clear of politics. If you want to have rules that govern your life, I'm perfectly fine with that up to where they want legislation that affects the freedom of other people. It seems too much of late that Evangelicals took The Handmaid's Tale as an instruction manual instead of a dystopic vision.

Keep in mind that urban areas don't explicitly produce these problems. People with these problems tend to congregate in urban areas because that's where the needed services/networks/etc exist. People from rural areas have the same problems - they just tend to suffer in silence (more room to hide in rural areas) or move where they can survive more easily (urban areas).
Well, yes, this is kinda the whole point of the argument. That's what LLMs bring to the table - machines that can better deal with data and documents meant for human consumption.

Yes. I don't care how many pedestrians need to die. Just don't take away my freedom to drive to the grocery store in a vehicle larger than a WWII tank.
One thing I loved living in Japan was availability of minivans that were actually small. The Toyota Sienta (note: not sienna) had 7 seats while being built on the Vitz (Yaris) platform. 3 feet shorter than a north american minivan, a foot narrower, and an engine roughly half the displacement (but still could go highway speeds without issue). I would happily upgrade from a small hatchback to one of those.
All of this is basically:

* shitty people scamming other people: Yes, everyone knows. It happens with normal money as well. I regularly get "How to avoid scammers" emails from my bank too. As long as something has value someone will try to use it to scam someone else.

* mining: Yes we know, mining is bad. Nobody wants it, it's going away. Could it go away faster? Yes, but it will happen eventually. Ban mining for all I care, nobody really needs it.
My biggest shock: they included trucks. For the past many years, the restrictions on cars have been tightening, but everyone drives a truck that’s exempt from the requirements
I don't think there's anything they can really do about that. It's a federated platform, the user is going to have to pick a server. Aside from some landing page that shows you servers based on your interests, I don't know what else they could do.

I do agree that migrating between servers could be a more streamlined process though.
Absent numbers, I'm gonna go with "Mass-dependent increase in tire-derived particular air pollution" isn't the right factor to optimize either.
Another power dynamic to consider is that MSNBC or FOX have owners (Comcast and Murdoch respectively) and those owners have shareholders (Blackrock, Fidelity etc.) who also have holdings in corporations that get their revenue from government contracts (Lockheed etc.) and so MSNBC executives feel pressure to hire employees who will generally take a positive view on the delivery of large government contracts to corporations, government-structured tax breaks and bailouts for corporations, and so on, and of course a government employee with an eye on possibly returning to a government career is an acceptable option, because they will promote the opinion that this is a great system that doesn't need say, more audits or investigation into misappropriation of public funds and so on.

Now the word for this kind of integration of the corporate world and the government world is....?

Twitter’s policy seems to specifically mention “media” accounts. Not just any business.
People generally only elect what they find to be the least detestable of the faux-representatives that their party strategists and financial backers put forth.

It's possible for harmful but popular policy to go forward with no one but your average constituent to blame, but when every option is a different set of false promises and failures to execute, and "the discourse" is driven mostly by dollar-driven propagandists, it's hard to place the blame for disfunctional government on voters generally.

Yes, and I think if we follow that scenario further, we can imagine ways it would play out. “Alice swore an oath on her mother’s grave, and then violated that oath? Wow, Alice really can’t be trusted.”

The oath is a symbolic ritual that communicates something to other people around you.
Interestingly, VOA, RFA etc. are not labeled state-affiliated media.

Edit: Actually VOA does have it now; I swear I checked just two days ago... Their various foreign language accounts still aren’t labeled though.
It works for maybe a second or two for me.
Feel? And how do you think your post reads, as fact or sentiment?

If

a) vehicles cause pollution.

b) pollution is bad.

c) bigger vehicles cause more pollution than smaller vehicles.

than naturally it would follow that

d) if a vehicle is oversized for the owners use cases that is bad.

How can we avoid d? Taxes seem to work as deterrent, just look how angry everyone gets when you add a new one.

Literally this very form of tax is one of the main reasons why in countries where the avg. person is wealthier than the avg. american (norway is a good example) drive significantly smaller (and less polluting) cars.
Amazon sells too much shit to be reasonable in their own initial product.
Eh. And who will suffer? Poor people. Why? 'Drive a bus', that is why is the gist of reasoning here. Naturally, upper income and wealthy individuals will still drive crazy toys, but that is ok.
I'm wondering how it will turn out too. I wouldn't say it's nightmare fuel for me but i wouldn't say i'm optimistic either. To me, it may parallel when online dating became a thing. Many people were worried about the lack of social interaction in online dating and its effects. Online dating is definitely a different process than IRL dating but I don't know if the outcomes are worse or better.

I can imagine relationships with AI being similar. It's definitely going to be different but to say it's worse or better may be hard to tell.

> we're humans, so we favor ourselves with rights

This is hands down the most ethically questionable argument I've heard in a long time.

Arguing that human rights are only granted out of self-interest is not even a slippery slope-- that's basically a waterslide into pre-1900 racism: After all, what's stopping you from splitting humanity across easily identifiable features (skull shape, skin color, etc), and then denying basic rights to that subgroup because you're not part of it?

There is also a gigantic mismatch with current common ethical standards: Animals are afforded some rights ("no cruelty"), which a large part of humanity strongly agrees with-- even though they don't self-identify as cattle.

Denying rights to AIs with human level cognitive capabilities would thus be very likely to be perceived as unethical by a large part of our population.
Yes but those have higher barrier to entry, MAD dynamics and the fact that you can't clone a nuclear weapon off Github.
In the context of this thread, I was referring to institutions that conduct basic science (i.e., primarily universities and government agencies) rather than business, which is not the first thing I associate with the label "institution".

I think Facebook and the metaverse is a great counter-example, but it also seems to highlight the general trend. I would be very surprised by any institution where power is diffuse understanding the value of avoiding meta-risk. Business can concentrate immense power in the CEO, particularly when they are also the largest shareholder, which enables them to act decisively.

I would love to see examples of where groups or co-operative without powerful individuals collectively chose to embrace risk to avoid meta-risk, since they could provide incredibly valuable lessons.
How hard would it be to get dolly running on llama.cpp?
I'm so relieved someone is working on this. I mean, the cars of the 60s and 70s, many of them were so much lighter. Now all the sudden, cars have become fat and heavy and bloated.

Of course it all comes down to consumer demand and regulations. I suspect Regulations have gone a long way towards making cars heavier and bigger and less efficient.
...and another hour later it says "Publicly funded media".

> replacement of keyboards

Or augmentation of keyboards: wand/stylus; 3D finger tracking; multitouch tablet. Extending rather than dumpstering existing refined comfortable power. My laptop used to have three extra fold-out cameras for TFA-like mediapipe games. Though tech resets are an opportunity to escape trap deadends, to "do better this time" - that thinkpad keyboard was a crippled and crippling 2-key rollover. And sensor fusion with diverse latencies (keypress vs pose-tracked video) is nontrivial - complex event processing with backtrackable app state. LLMs with UI/HID "languages" will be such fun!
You don't need a central place, but you do need places that are large enough, mainstream enough, and trusted enough, for the masses. Email is like this now.
The tech is the same tech used in nuclear reactors, and depending on how far you go certain therapies. Nuclear weapons are just one instance of the tech.
Ampere is the only game in town for buying a server ARM chip. It isn't like anyone is rack mounting Samsung Galaxies, so the variety of manufactures working in other spaces doesn't really matter.

Nvidia claims to be working on getting in the server game later this year so maybe ARM will get to x86 levels of competition.
Those can be regulated because they require a level of physical access to materials. Centrifuges and viral samples and whatnot.

A given AI, once created, is "just" data. It can be sent around the world and run on commodity hardware. Nothing special needed beyond the expertise that created it in the first place.

Think of how relatively easy it is to clamp down on bioweapons, and compare that with our ability to stop malware.
Dagster vs. Airflow
>It says "Government-funded Media"...

It currently says "Publicly funded media", not "Government-funded Media", and that muddies the waters a bit - publicly-funded doesn't necessarily mean government-funded.

Not sure if it said "Gov-funded" an hour ago when you commented or not, as the other person who replied to you suggests that changes to these statements appear to be pretty fluid at the moment.
I subscribe to the philosophy that "the only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing."

Figuring out what you can do within your own sphere of influence can be hard, but you certainly don't have to pretend like bigots are nice people because they invite you to their BBQ.
I'm going to give you some tough love here.

You first posted about GAGOOT five months ago [1]. I see no evidence that you have made any progress, or even done any work on it, since then. Because you choose to remain anonymous, it is impossible to do any more due diligence on you. It is pretty unrealistic to expect anyone to offer you financial support under those circumstances.

It's pretty clear that you need some kind of help, but you are not going to get it as long as you choose to remain anonymous.

The Unintended Consequences of Internet Regulation
During covid there was almost no car traffic in cities and it barely made a dent on emissions. So ICE or EVs, does not seem to matter.
Additional benchmarks:

sysbench memory --time=60 --threads=4 run

AMD64: 5859951.00 per second
ARM64: 6052749.14 per second

Here ARM had a lead.

Next up I timed compiling nodejs. time make -j4. I ran the test two times and took the faster result for each.

AMD64:
real 28m46.385s
user 107m48.971s
sys 5m12.994s
ARM64:
real 39m18.443s
user 146m25.801s
sys 7m53.271s

Here ARM seems to be roughly 36% slower. This is actually pretty good considering the price difference.

Rescaled the ARM VM to 8 vCPUs:

real 22m20.624s
user 162m30.176s
sys 8m50.104s

So now the ARM offering is noticably faster than the AMD instance but still cheaper. 12.49 Eur vs 13.60 Eur.

What I learn from these benchmarks is that you might get some really good value out of these ARM instances if your usecase is not impacted all too much in terms of performance.
