What the phone repair companies want is to be able to buy parts (without all the weird rules that apple has for licensed companies now).

The repair shops can figure out how to glue a screen to a housing on their own. The problem is they can't buy new parts, and they can't swap used parts because of software locks.

Apple very much found a way to allow repairs while preventing it from being profitable, and it's likely John Deere will (try to) do the same.

Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty. If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligence.
The NPR makes no secret of its funding. But stamping a label on it like this implies that they are at the same level as the Chinese and Russian official state channels and lapdog institutions, which is the effect that Musk is going for here, which clearly is unfair to the NPR.

Any attempt to whitewash even aspects of it is in part giving credit to it and I'm just not going to carry Musk's water on this. It's a petty move by a petty person, who uses the platform that he bought to further his new best buddies interests by fomenting distrust in media institutions that he can't buy or control.

Reddit isn't down for me, so it's likely that something unrelated to Reddit could be down (like a misconfigured ISP) causing Reddit to show down for a lot of users.

Many people regret surgeries and similar. Should we ban knee surgery? Hip replacements? Should teenage girls be barred from breast reduction surgery?

If not, can you clearly differentiate between these cases?
I strongly disagree with the notion that Elon Musk's labeling of NPR as 'state-affiliated' was an innocent mistake. In my opinion, Musk was well aware of the implications of lumping NPR together with propaganda outlets like RT and Xinhua. By doing so, he deliberately misrepresented NPR's journalistic integrity and reputation as a non-partisan news source. It's clear that NPR's objection was not to being labeled 'government-funded,' but rather to being unfairly associated with disreputable media organizations. This was a calculated move by Musk to undermine NPR's credibility and independence.
I attempted using the Transformers library but failed. Not sure, might be a VRAM issue; I'm going to try on my far beefier personal MacBook Pro later tonight.
Your concern is understandable and relatable, but I approach the issue from a stance that is, while not necessarily optimistic, definitely is less pessimistic.

I don't think we truly know just yet how negative an impact AI will have on society. Every time there has been a technological leap, people have panicked over what the gizmo of the now will do to society. Again, not an invalid concern, but society has yet to have been blown apart by anything.

Also, everything potentially being just AI may inadvertently get the public to do the right thing. People should never have been as trusting of authority figures or institutions in the first place. If everyone assumes that everything is likely to be complete hogwash, which was already true in many cases, then they may not just swallow everything as fact. Maybe fewer people will blindly consume news, which is a good thing; 99% of news is not actionable or good for an average person's well-being. And if enough ransom demands turn out to be AI-generated scams such that the real ones are overall far less successful, it's possible that fewer people are kidnapped for ransom in the first place.

I'm not saying I know any of this, but rather the opposite.
15k is the entire corpus we have right now. Hopefully others can join up in releasing additional samples that can be merged in over time.

Regarding safety related weight, there's a very interesting and thorough study from Berkley, I'd recommend reading, if you want to be nerdy.

And specific to weight, it's topic that is not ignored by federal or state regulating bodies. Heck, even 10 years ago the EPA stated if reduce the weight of your vehicle by 100lbs you can achieve 1-2% fuel improvements. And weight removal is the opposite of diminishing returns, so every pound reduction yields better results.

Your logical fallacy is incredulity. What Twitter did was absolutely ethical, and since it applies to all government funded media, it is not political in nature. Yes anyone accepting government ad money should be labelled as well.
Virtual thread stacks reference the objects that local variables on the stack reference, but they are not themselves GC roots. GC roots are special objects that the GC starts its scan of the heap from, and they tend to be particularly costly, at least for most of OpenJDK's GCs. Virtual threads are just ordinary heap objects that can reference other objects.

> I could imagine that by having fewer physical threads running, the stop-the-world part of garbage collection could suspend the runtime more quickly. That could reduce the effect of GC-pauses.

Precisely. Although it's worth mentioning that while that's true for G1, ZGC does not stop-the-world when scanning roots, including platform thread stacks (https://openjdk.org/jeps/376).
I never wanted to pay for metaverse and invest in crypto. But I'm paying for genAI (midjourney and openAI api)
Part of this is an interesting side effect that interacting with people 1:1 is different than when the interaction is intermediated by a group or an ideology or a commercial platform.

I find that when I strip away group dynamics, people all have similar basic needs; that many fears are shared; that many people have similar hopes even if specific struggles or needs vary greatly.

Yes it's disappointing to find out that a nice person turns out to be part of a digusting group, but on the flip side, sometimes seeing the humanity in different people can help lessen the ideologic stronghold on some people. I have some narrow-minded friends and relatives who have been a bit less categorical just by hanging out with nice people who think totally differently than them.
Because their emotional distress and placebo effects don’t outweigh the benefit to everyone else of having them vaccinated. And requiring vaccination to keep your job is not a punishment, any more than we punish people with epilepsy by saying they can’t drive. It’s an attempt to reduce the risk to society posed by their medical state.

It's nonsense that batteries die after 100k and also totally wrong that they end up in landfills.

Car batteries have high reuse value for letting lots of us cases.

Recycling is irrelevant because the amount of batteries going offline is a tiny pitence compared to what is produced knew. There are actually not enough batteries for all the companies wanting to do recycling.

Eventually recycling will make sense but it will be quite a while from now.

You assertion that all EV fail after 50k is disproved by ever analysis on repair cost.

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 licences.
There have been multiple hype cycles for crypto. In over a decade, I have yet to see something priced in cryptocurrency. Pricing something in dollars and then converting that amount in cryptocurrency for the next 15 minutes is still a dependence on government backed currency.
You know the gaming term "whale"? They're the people who get so sucked into a pay-to-play game that they'll spend thousands of dollars trying to get those winning feelings. I have to suspect those people are not, psychologically speaking, perfectly well.

If Twitter is the game, Musk is the whale with so much money that he bought the company. He spent $44 billion trying to win the game. And the wild thing to me is that he's still failing at it. Things like "let that sink in" [1] and re-labeling the building "Titter" [2] are just not very good jokes. For a mere one billion dollars, he could have hired every good comedy writer in the world. Instead he has lost at least $24 billion while generating enormous amounts of reputation-puncturing press and very plausibly putting a famously hard-to-wreck company on the path to irrelevancy. If it's not the most spectacular own-goal in business history, I'd certainly like to hear about the worse ones.

Design Has a Language
Anyone providing money to a media org has some amount of editorial control. The newer version is more specific but it doesn’t mean state affiliated is inaccurate.
It's irrelevant, the label implies control like with the Russians and the Chinese, and that control simply isn't there.
I mean, off the bat you might use it to replace Google, like bing is already doing.

And it doesn't have to solve a problem for you to make an impact on your life- it can make your life worse too. If your daughter is interested in writing, graphic design,or programming, well, finding a job and moving out by 30 might become a lot harder. Bing is already in use. Copilot is already in use. These are not small markets or use cases.
I think crypto, metaverse, and generative AI are all really different -- and I agree with the original poster. Generative AI seems much more likely to be a game changer.

Crypto was something I always struggled to make sense of. My son asked, "why didn't I buy bitcoin when it was a few cents?!" -- The simple answer was it didn't seem like it had much use. The value in crypto eventually came in the form of a pyramid scheme. Admittedly, I do use crypto to do transactions with untrustworthy people (don't have to worry about chargebacks and things like that). But it's hype was around it being a speculative commodity. For normal people -- it's just not all that useful.

The metaverse is different in that I do see the theoretical value in it. But it seems a LONG way off. I haven't seen anything that really makes me think, "wow -- this is it". It doesn't seem like we're close. And honestly I think generative AI maybe a prerequisite to deliver a truly valuable metaverse.

Generative AI is useful now and represents a huge leap over the state of the art, not that long ago. I worked with RNNs and LSTMs to answer questions not that many years ago, and honestly I wouldn't have predicted this level of effectiveness for LLMs for probably 20 plus years -- and I certainly didn't know how we'd do it. But more importantly I'm finding it valuable today. As I noted in another post -- ChatGPT-4 already has shown better differential diagnosis skills than my family's doctor. I use it literally every day already. There are things that I want it to do that would make my life 10x better -- and I could see a clear path to get there (like, if that was my day job I think I could put together a project plan to deliver it).

I just don't think these techs are comparable at all.
Thank you for the reply. However, I find it rather harsh coming from someone who made a documentary film about homeless people [https://graceofgodmovie.com]. I guess you didn't get your "happy ending", because you remain "puzzled". I'm somewhat like the psychologist, from your film, who had a practice, and now can't get a job at Burger King, but not for lack of trying. I've had bad luck and I've made mistakes. I've trying to overcome both, so that I don't end up in a ditch of despair and finality.

How much due diligence do you perform on the decrepit man sitting on the sidewalk, holding out a cup of change, before you decide to throw some his way? I'm not looking for traditional funding from Silicon Valley, as should be obvious if you read about my idea of constructing a non-corporate board to manage GAGOOT, so that it could have a life of its own when I'm gone. Even one hundred people giving me $90 each would fix my immediate situation, so that I could at least have a clear head to determine (and take) the next step for funding GAGOOT.

Preferring anonymity is not a crime, nor should it be a handicap. Plenty of people get funding for projects without filling out extensive applications and passing background checks. I did state that I would provide my legal name and banking info, via return email, for anyone who wished to donate, as they would obviously not be able to get the money to me otherwise. I just don't want that information plastered all over the Internet.

Since that first post, which received no replies, and in which I clearly indicated that I would be happy to answer questions about GAGOOT, I've spent most of my time and energy staying alive. Every day, seven days each week, I get up with the intention of doing that, as well as with the intention of making progress on GAGOOT. Most days, I start off feeling as if I could do both, but I usually end up accomplishing the minimum on the former, and practically nothing on the latter, because the former has become harder and harder.

Anyway, I have made some progress on GAGOOT, with research and code, but I don't have the time and energy to write white papers, and I don't use things like GitHub to publish my code, which is currently closed source, due to incompleteness and, sad to say, due to some sloppiness and inconsistencies, as my GAGOOT-related coding sessions are usually limited to the minimum of putting down ideas instead of making them pretty. If I had the little bit of financial support that I requested, I could (and would) produce polished public output.
The BBC just had their label corrected..
Meta has always had a morale crisis, recently exacerbated by Cambridge Analytica and the like. People wanted to work there because of the money. Flat-out.

Thanks, that would be great.

The data I'm looking at makes the Facebook decision a little more sensical.

Yes there was a Big Spike in VR interest around Oculus, and most of the people who bought one have it sitting in a corner collecting dust...

But a significant subset of people continued to use it, and their usage is steadily growing. There are huge numbers of people willing to pay $500 -$2k, on each new device that comes out, just to "see if its ready".

There are tons of people who work from home on a couple monitors, who WANT to have a VR work setup that gives them screens the size of walls. Obviously the comfort, battery, and visual performance is not there yet, but most people have a feeling that would could just be a generation or two away from it.

I would guess that more than 50% of hacker news readers over 40 years old had an MP3 player BEFORE the iPod. They were all garbage and completely replaced when the iPod came out, but for the 2-3 years before the iPod, all the early adopters new something like that was coming and they were hungry for it.

I feel that's exactly where VR is.
Do you have any examples of them bucking the DNC establishment? I’ve never seen one. AFAICT state propaganda is exactly what they are.
So, here's the thing: I have a 15 year old daughter. If she were actually snatched by a kidnapper and threatened with rape/murder/whatever, I am not absolutely sure that she would remember and execute a "code word" protocol. Especially not a protocol that had the extra measures to help keep it from being subverted in various ways, but maybe not even a very simple protocol.

Not sure enough to feel really comfortable betting her life on it, anyway. Not if we hadn't drilled it on a daily basis for weeks and a weekly basis for months.

It's easy to blank on things when you're adrenalized, say if you've been kidnapped. And it's also easy to blank on things when you're adrenalized because you are hearing the person's voice saying they've been kidnapped.

... and if I asked a scammer pretending to have kidnapped her to let me call her on her phone, I would expect to get the obvious reply: "I threw her phone away. I'm not dumb enough to let you track me/her/us through it". Which is totally credible because that's what a kidnapper should do.

When you get the call, the strong prior probability is that the whole thing is a scam, but that's not so easy to hold onto in a situation like that. And even if you do hold onto it, you will be scared.

Oh, and on edit: Yes, I expect I would keep it together enough to call her on her phone to check, since if she hasn't been kidnapped there's nothing stopping her from answering it. I don't know if I'd expect that of others. But it's also true that if I call her, and nothing is actually wrong, I still expect about a 50-50 response rate because she doesn't hear the thing, has it on mute, or is in school and forced to keep it in her locker, or has let the battery run down, or whatever.

I immensely enjoy the opinion of the mainstream that "yes the CIA did bad things in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s but nobody was ever prosecuted an there were no reforms so now they don't do bad things today you conspiracy theorist."
Would and have. I was in a bad part of town (not SF) at night, and two people flagged me down on the street. When I stopped (door locked, window down half an inch, in gear and ready to peel out), one stayed in the middle of the street, and the other walked over and said, "My buddy's been stabbed. Can you get us to the hospital?" So I drove them to the ER.

Another time this guy was screaming on the street, with blood running down his face. He'd been mugged, and the mugger pistol-whipped him when he didn't have anything worth taking. I took him to the ER, too. I'm rather grateful to him - he used my kleenex to avoid turning my passenger seat into a biohazard area. Not a drop on my seat or floor.
> you are falling for it hook, line and sinker

I haven't made any statement (nor drawn any conclusion) about whether NPR's content is controlled or influenced by any level of government. So I'm not sure what I've fallen for?

I've only talked about funding. That may be irrelevant, but I only talked about it in response to something you brought up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I appreciate that I think you've acknowledged that genetic factors play a role in mental abilities. Debating the question of whether there's a single factor at play or multiple factors is a reasonable thing to do. Regardless of the truth there, it's pretty clear the factor or factors show significant overlap, as skill in one area of mental ability tends to predict skill in other abilities.

As for your argument about IQ studies going nowhere, you're not arguing in good faith. IQ research is a third rail because it's been tied by the left to eugenics and racism. This is the same reason colleges are (at their great peril) abandoning use of the SAT.
In the future we might add the option of "bring your own bucket" to Supabase Storage and we'll upload the assets there.

There's quite a bit of drudgery in academic positions, organizing/running meetings/conferences, editing journals, scrounging for reviewers, grant writing, and navigating all of the red tape of universities.
The Manhattan Project literally built the world's first nuclear fission reactor. The group that built that reactor later became Argonne National Laboratory which then built the first nuclear reactor that generated electricity. Nuclear weapons and nuclear power come from the same roots.
Shame that it's US-centric. New World English has a fascinating continuum of region dialects and syncretism. For example just over the border in Western Canada, a sticker you put on a car is pronounced 'deck-al' instead of 'dee-cal'. That one is a dead giveaway for someone from AB or BC.
> guess all your passwords?

Don’t use your mind to create passwords. Use a password generator or passphrase generator.

For example, I made a passphrase generator that uses EFF wordlists. I’ve been using this generator myself for quite a while. It runs locally on your machine.

Training new SOTA (state-of-the-art) models does require a large amount of compute resources. So we could at least pause here and not make more powerful models publicly available until we understand the implications of wtf actually just happened over the last 6 months.

Certainly the models and weights that have been released publicly are out in the wild and near impossible to retract. That damage is done.

Google, Facebook, and Twitter have always been whatever they can aggressively monetize, as their primary piece of software hasn't financially scaled to where they need to be at quarter-after-quarter. These days, I'd say they're advertisement companies!
