> Australia is a continent, so it cannot be an island by definition

So the reason greenland being an island is due to definition then? Which makes the concept of an island moot, as it's driven via definition, rather than criteria.
Reading this made me realize there's an important question, which so far has been ignored by much of the public dialogue about large AI models:

Human creativity and innovation thrive when people feel free to talk and reason among themselves about anything, without restrictions or fear of retribution.

Would AI creativity and innovation be as good as it could be, or even possible, if we restrict AI to talk and reason about only socially approved notions?

EDIT: Replace "possible" with "as good as it could be, or even possible," which better conveys what I meant to write the first time around.
You’re falling into the trap Europeans normally do that imagine that companies want to do the right thing. You want something to stop? Ban it.

The radiation level exposure on the Moon is estimated to be around 60 microsieverts every hour [1], while the limit of amount of radiation received by the general public in a year is set to 1'000 microsieverts (1 millisievert) [2].

It would then be necessary to be achieved the regenerative medicine in the first place, with a major revolution in radiation shielding technology.

Unfortunately does not appear to be on the verge of being a reality (in short term?), if one look with cold eyes the current state of medicine is amputation.

> small players who can’t afford to spend time or money in understanding these things

Most of them can afford it, since it's part of the cost of doing business. Most European businesses were already regulated by similar rules with the Loi informatique et libertés in France, and the Datenschutzgesetz in Germany. But since the maximum fines were smaller, everybody was breaking the law.

The main issue is not that they can't afford it, the issue is that they don't want to do it.

I've worked for 3 different small businesses which were happy to use free-of-charge AGPL libraries in their main SaaS product. And when I mentioned that we should remove AGPL libraries or release our entire codebase under AGPL, what I got was "we'll look into this later".

This is not "i can't afford it", this is "i'm too lazy/incompetent to make time for it"

It’s doesn’t, though. Per capita consumption varies. It’s more that a minority of our population vastly over-consumes. That problem would exist on another planet too.

I agree with some siblings that it's better not to overstate the consequences for our knowledge of mind and consciousness, at least just yet. This level is still half promises. Not saying this can't change a year from now.

On the other hand, it is fascinating how much interesting work and theories in the field will be retired, at least for a long time (I allow for a likelihood that some of that could return eventually as better, more concise generalizations). Ten years ago Chomsky and various GOFAI-related stuff could still sound respectable and somewhat plausible. Plenty of people were/are wedded to the concept that you can build machine intelligence as an abstract and intellectually stimulating gentleman pursuit. It was a comfy position in a way. Not surprised about the resistance they are mounting now, though I think academic inertia will allow them to exist for quite some time. They can just move to doing some kind of philosophy also.
Should the vast majority of the world who do not have those health issues be deprived of its glory, because there is a minority who - very sadly and unfortunately for them - cannot look at it? Should Picasso not have bothered painting since some people are blind?

Oh yes but we are restricted, very much so, by the assumptions what other people might think of us or how we could be exiled from society if we say x or y forbidden thing.

As someone very language-focused, it has actually done the opposite for me: challenged some of my beliefs about how language enables intelligence. It's obviously skilled at language use, but most of its outputs where it has to make any sort of arguments or inferences read as incredibly stupid to me (even the ones that "tricked" people early on, some of them tricked me but in a way where I was about to write a response because I was annoyed at how bad the reasoning was).

Of course that's not a criticism of the ML achievement, except that everyone and their mother has started making some extreme arguments about the thing.
Microsoft's mission to empower people anywhere in the world to do more apparently means transferring wealth to thugs in developing countries without actually delivering technology.
> For the first answer I got zero results on Google, so it's quite unlikely that it was part of the training data

Sure, not literally part of the training data.

Statistical AI operates in a transformed space derived from the training data, points in that space will not, in general, exist in the original.

So imagine generating 1000 circles and putting their radii on a line: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, ...

The circles are the training data, and the "implied line" is the transformed space.

Now, AI here is capable of generating a circle with radius 0.15 and hence that circle is "not in the original dataset".

This type of "novelty" isn't what I'm concerned with; generative AI must have that or else it'd be entirely useless -- only a google search.

Rather i'm talking about, for example, whether without "Rust" in its training data it could develop "Rust" from everything else. Is there enough data on lifetimes/borrowing/etc. research in pdfs that it's scanned to somehow "find a midpoint between those pdfs and C++".

It seems a bit mad to suppose so -- but I could be wrong, such a midpoint does exist --- but i'm extremely doubtful we humans have been so helpful as to write the 1000s of academic PDFs needed for this system to find it.

The novelty I'm talking about is dimensions in the transformed space. The system cannot derive "additional ways to move" without the source data actually containing those ways.

This is, roughly, equivalent to saying that it's biased towards the on-average ways we have conceptualised our problems as represented by the on-average distribution of academic articles, github repos, webpages, etc. *that we happened to have created*.

This is a serious "intellectually conservative" bias.

For sure it can find circles it hasnt seen; but could it find spheres from circles alone? No.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a Vietnamese speaker about the word "đúng" which means "right" or "correct".

To my English ears it sounds like "doom" (Southern Dialect). The "ng" ending sounds like an "m". But to this Vietnamese speaker, they said "no, 'ng' makes a sound like the English word 'sung'"

And the vocalization you mentioned for the Russia sound is similar. "ng" in Vietnamese is the same "ng" sound in English but you close your mouth at the end and purse your lips like the "m" sound in English.

But I think we're both right, it's just that each person hears the same sound in different ways due to the language we grew up with.

Many comments are focussed on how this will affect models in deployment, but a more troubling implication for me is that evaluations and comparisons across models using past data are affected by this.

Show HN: Tackle Lengthy Twitter Threads with ThreadExpresso
Hey HN community,

I wanted to share a Chrome extension I've been working on called ThreadExpresso. It uses ChatGPT to summarize Twitter threads, making it easier to quickly understand the key points.

Features:

- Time-saving Summarization: Get to the essential information in long threads without spending too much time scrolling.

- Improved Twitter Experience: More easily navigate and engage with complex conversations.

- Summary Length: You can choose between short summary and detailed summary.

- Language Support: Works with threads in multiple languages, making content more accessible.

I hope you'll give ThreadExpresso a try, and I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions and suggestions on how it can be improved!
Only for the first half an hour. Coming from C I found the Zig syntax very straightforward after writing a couple of hundred lines of code.
"So the reason greenland being an island is due to definition then?"

Isn't everything, including criteria?
What would make you say that? IMO that's a potentially harmful assumption, I agree the demographics point to that but doesn't help when this isn't a real-time chat where things like these can be cleared up quickly
Weighting countries by 1/population would be interesting and maybe more
useful to see the demographic.

Or to put it another way if euro becomes

I think your response is very narrow in defining what a "really cool problem" is. If in the 1970s you imagined that the cool problem in ECE/CS was "building ever-more-powerful computer processors" then you basically got smoked by Intel and other industry labs.

But there's a different way to look at it. Because industry went off and solved the now-"boring" problem of building ever-more-powerful computer processors, the people left behind in academia got to invent machine learning, public-key cryptography, modern coding theory, distributed systems... and so on. What makes academic research valuable is not the freedom of "I get to plan my own day", but the freedom of "I get to work on the weird problems that industry doesn't even realize are problems."
Parenting and early life experiences are diverse across the population though, creating enough suitably brave people who can change the status quo.

I don't really get the point of this toolchain. Isn't risc-v support already in the binutils and gcc?

That said, on risc-v, gcc is mostly for legacy code as risc-v, a standard modern ISA free from toxic IP and that worldwide, is the signal of the start the assembly era. At best expect very high-level language interpreters (python/lua/ruby/javascript//whatever) to have a risc-v assembly written implementations.

> continuously monitoring the estimated model performance

Main point here. Model performance can degrade for any number of reasons and at varying rates. As a starting point, focus on setting up anomaly monitoring for a robust set of model eval metrics tailored to your task: loss, calibration, model staleness, etc. Timely alerts can give you sufficient time to dig in and root cause, roll back a model, etc.

As long as he can tell a "tall dog" (giraffe) apart from a "swimming dog" (say, a duck) that's still compatible with what the parent says.

It's about recognizing them as distict, and assigning them to the same class of things, the rest is just naming, that is, its at the language and vocabulary level, not at the recognition level.
