If the answer doesn't do what I want, either I see it and can fix this, or I don't and then the origin of the answer doesn't really matter. That's my experience solving my problems, and I'm sure other people may have different experiences that leads them to different conclusions. But for me, for now, ChatGPT as a first step makes sense.
Not saying they don't exist, but I've never seen a power bank that had the output data lines wired up to anything.
Which open source and/or local models have you tested?
Yeah, I'm also in computer security, and watching the incredibly dumb ways people are using LLMs has made me absolutely terrified. Like, I had somehow very-incorrectly thought that if an AI wanted to do something bad it would have to trick a human into helping it have agency... it never occurred to me that developers would just happily sit around excitedly wiring up AI directly to shells and database query languages and any host of other mechanisms.
> if you consider Earth as an island in the lake of the solar system

I mean, "if" is doing a lot of work there! Earth is not an island because it's not surrounded by water. Poetically, sure, it's a nice metaphor, but it's only a metaphor.
I wonder how they found those locations. Are people just browsing the entire globe or maybe using GIS queries?

Must be fun writing Overpass Queries to find lakes in islands in lakes in islands.
Well, I have a phd in biophysics and have worked with DNA across my 30 year career- as well as with massive storage systems. I'm quite familiar with the technology. Offline HDDs last a lot longer than 10 years.

A single data center can't be stored in 5 grams of DNA- or even if it could, it would be far slower to access, and would require significant infrastructure to maintain.
Assuming language based on location, with semi-infinite scrolling and the language selector on the bottom of the page is an annoying combination.
With a bulb made of alumina and having a window made of quartz on which thin films have been deposited, it would be more expensive than a traditional incandescent lamp, but that would be compensated by the high efficiency and long life.

If in mass production, I see nothing that would prevent it from being cheaper than a comparable LED lamp.

I am not familiar with the technology used to make the incandescent band made of carbon nanotubes and boron nitride ceramic, but everything else is made with standard equipment that is widely available.
I think the very big rocket planned for launch in a few days will, if successful, help a lot with this. Chemical rockets aren't the best but if we can launch much larger payloads, we can design deep space rockets that consume a lot more fuel to get there faster. Imagine a multi stage rocket which is assembled in orbit from multiple Starship launches, and then blasts off to the outer worlds.
For Windows installers from Linux, check out NSIS...

https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page

From the features page:

"The NSIS compiler can be compiled for POSIX platforms like Linux and *BSD. Generated installer will still run on Windows only, but this way they can be generated without Windows or WINE."
Is that really used? I would assume the accuracy is beyond horrible. That being said, if it is stupid and it works, anything goes.

GPT will not be able to detect contradictions / logical fallacies generated by GPT itself or similar LLMs. If it could spot the mistake, it wouldn't make it in the first place.

The other issue is that the generated content might be overall composed of true facts, but used to manipulate via less in the face techniques. Things like agenda setting, flooding with content with no lies, but a particular interpretation of those facts etc.
This is not the point though.

I'm not discussing whether we, humans can create such a simulation. It is a thought experiment of what we think such a simulated mind would be like and whether it would have intelligence/self-awareness/consciousness/experience qualia/etc.

The topic is whether there is anything fundamentally important about the human wetware which couldn't be substituted by a computer.
I like the deadpan, but just to say it: when billionaires decide something is in their interest to have at least some people believe, they can find someone so unscrupulous that they will repeat the lie on air.

Heavy usage of TikTok – or any social media platform – is inadvisable, but I'm still not sure a ban is the right way to go. Or, as Arkansas wants to do, requiring ID to sign up for social media sites (which will never cause any privacy issues or be used nefariously [/s]).

There's got to be a happy medium (that is, if any action is required at all, which, again, I'm not sure it is).

The part that bothers me a bit is that the website doesn’t actually do anything useful - there isn’t really any content. I guess one could argue that the proof of concept of a solar powered server is interesting enough to justify the site’s existence - but Low Tech Magazine has already had a solar-powered version for years AND they actually host interesting content.

If someone hosts a solar-powered website that doesn’t do anything useful, is that really helping the environment? Or is it just contributing to e-waste when the parts eventually fail? And does it really have a smaller environmental footprint than just hosting a site at Neocities or something?

That being said I recognize that this is just someone’s little hobby project, and they are more than welcome to build fun little projects like this and share them if they like. My comments are more directed at a general tendency of techies to engage consumerism under the guise of environmentalism.
They managed landing legs and they decided to up the level of difficulty a few notches or something?

And wire the other side to the open internet!
I mean, I think it's scarier that once these models get smart enough, they will be able to act in the world in the same way that a shell script can execute on your machine. A model that can read code and find and exploit security flaws to build a botnet, or even sign up for a bank account using a fake identity, invest in stocks, make money, and purchase servers to train copies of its own mis-aligned AI, or fork copies of itself and give them instructions... That's what keeps me up at night. They aren't smart enough to do long-term planning and reasoning yet, but it's a problem we absolutely need to solve before they can.

Imagine what a world-class programmer could accomplish in this world if they thought 100 times faster than a human, and had no fear of going to jail. Our world is an insecure machine, and we're preparing to run untrusted code with root access.

And sure, maybe we can try to use less-intelligent AIs to secure things before then, but the weak point is still humans. Social engineering is typically way easier than straight up hacking. We've seen these lesser AIs threaten people, and while we can keep bonking them on the nose when they do that, we can't prove or tell that they won't ever do it in a different situation, when they judge that it's likely to be the most effective course of action.

I hope every day that this is all just hype and that another AI winter is coming, because we need time (who knows how long) for a way to align these things. But I really fear that it isn't.
The solution isn't to create an LLM to debunk the bullshit, it's to a second LLM that will double down on the bullshit so that the onus is on LLM1 to debunk.

>They will either write something workable

Since when has a car company ever created workable software?

The screens still lag, and the in-car integration systems are so garbage that they found it worthwhile to farm them out to tech companies.

And CarPlay/Android Auto aren't much better; Google employees are specifically hired based on their expertise of data structures and algorithms so they have zero excuse for the abysmal quality of the software they turn out.

If this is what tens of millions in salaries buys I'm suddenly a lot less disappointed in the fact that AI can do a better job.
Windows code was released for some researchers and was also leaked.

IMO a good train NN would not be against copyright, but even if is decided the opposite we are not screwed, you can train open models using open source code and permissive licensed text and art. Microsoft could try to buy some data sets but they would not be able to mix GPL/MIT like content into their proprietary models so the open models would win , IMO.

The open source community is already working on creating data sets for training so this will grow as open source for code grew in the past, we just need a bit of time for this software to get more efficient or people to get some better hardware.
People who like stuff typically aren't going around posting about it, especially not in these types of threads that appeal to those who dislike the company/app.

Personally I think Spotify is great and it works really well for me, the only thing I really don't like is the podcast push. While it's not as bad as it used to be, I wish I could toggle it off or banish it to some separate part of the app.
I don’t believe debate is an effective means of changing people’s minds. So I debated the AI on this.

Directly arguing (I.e., debating) was ineffective but thanking it for acknowledging my points and asking it to elaborate on “what alternatives to debating are better?” lead to it arguing on my side. This probably says more about ChatGPT and its training than anything about the nature of debate. Though it’s a good illustration of how working with someone’s values (pleasing users in their case) is more effective than trying to engage directly with the logic of their arguments.

Interestingly, the AI judge said the AI won the debate, despite it swapping to my side!

Coming to a conclusion when the quality of the data is poor is shameful.

Unfortunately, society tends not to like people who don't take a stance on a given item ("Fence sitter"). As such, being a fence sitter is often the courageous stance, and drawing conclusions and loudly broadcasting them to the world often is, in some part, motivated by cowardice.
The explosion of crime is the caused by the city instructing police not to enforce property crimes and others. You can steal, assault, set on fire, spit on and use the bart as a bathroom. From 2019 to 2021 there was a 36% increase in murders.

That was my though too. Unless their is a 3G modem and a SIM card it’s not really fully solar.

Before Uber, we had taxi companies bidding for areas. Winning bid got a monopoly for that area. That company would often use subcontractors to have enough drivers. In exchange for monopoly they needed to guarantee a certain level of service. You could get sy taxi at any time to any where, at the same rate, without surge charges. Literally every taxi was new, high end, clean, safe and comfortable. Uber lobbied to change it to "free market" model, promising lower prices, better service. Monopoly areas were removed. We started getting drivers who were dodging taxes, couldn't navigate, used lower quality cars. It should I say that happened in some cities, because Uber doesn't operate in the smaller cities. We still have the same drivers here, in a smaller city but since there's no service level guarantee anymore, there's a ton of taxis available during peak hours but it might be impossible to get one in the middle of the night because it's not cost effective anymore to have drivers standing by. You can also forget about trying to get a taxi to or from to far from cities because that's not cost effective either. Prices have gone up as well. I've talked few dozen drivers and they've all hated the change.

But at least I can use an app if I wanted to
In all seriousness, do you really want to go assigning world records like that to kidnapping victims?
In my experience, the detection software is looking for patterns of behavior, not just how many connections get opened.

> the act of learning someone's open ports is what's considered abuse?

Yes, port-scanning a system without the permission of the owner of the system is widely considered abuse. It's conceptually similar to going to an apartment building and knocking on every door to see who's home and who's not.

The act itself isn't very harmful (my home firewall is basically always getting portscanned by somebody or another), but in practice, the reason it's done is as preparation for a more serious attack.
I know tons of other companies will share my view that we would never stake anything remotely important on a stolen library to save a minuscule amount of money. It would be absolutely idiotic.

Instead, we shell over the negligible monthly fees, spend no time thinking about it, and move on to solve real problems.

There are enough of us that it probably simply doesn’t matter.

This is a callous take that refuses to pause for even the briefest millisecond of reflection. Personal attacks like this & shaming me may make you feel good & smart but as far as I can tell there's still a real topic here & it still deserves some discussion.

I don't go out of my way to start this discussion every time. But sometimes I do. Because it's super notable to me how asymmetric it is. If there was more evidence of programmers dropping little nasty grams about any old topic, I could see it as cultural. That's why I tried to survey the room. It's remarkable to how persistently nasty people are to the most popular language on the planet. It feels decidedly unhacker like to bully me into silence over this search for meaning & inquiry.

I'd like an example of programmers persistently being mean & denigrating to other programmer spaces or languages. That was the context of the rest of my line of questioning, and implied by this question too. The popular/mainstream perception of programmers is unimportant & distracting, disinformation that misleads the discussion; why do some programmers enjoy dropping little vacuous nasty gram jabs at JS, and is this pattern repeated broadly against any other targets?

Are we concluding that JS is the only bad programming thing, thus no one else gets mocked? Maybe JS is a magnet given how popular it is? Or do we think the casual barbs really do go every way & I'm just missing it?
> It was the most logical one with the data available at that moment.

Logical and appropriate/reasonable are two distinct entities.

I can see two coin tosses, and if they came up heads, it is certainly logical to conclude that the coin is heavily biased. Understanding that the quality of the data is poor and that one probably should suspend judgements until further data is in is a sign of maturity.

I've seen this play out over the decades: Hans Reiser, Ellen Pao, etc are common examples.

I said it for to maintain undesired chemical reactions under control. My first thought after to read some papers would be below 25°C, but this is not my field so take it with a grain of salt, as the water temperature in normal operating conditions within nuclear waste water pools seems to be held below 50°C by the refrigeration systems.

I haven't seen Avatar 2, but this or something similar is something I notice all the time in films on DVDs, especially those originally for TV: the camera will cut to a long shot and everything becomes weirdly smooth until the camera cuts back again. Whether it's due to a change in film speed, frame rate or something else I can't work out, but I would imagine that these long distance shots are in fact library footage spliced into the film.

>What's to stop me from uninstalling it

Risk vs reward? Even if you find the right charge station and remove the juicer, your only reward for removing it is knowing that you're stopping someone else from getting juiced. But if you get caught, you face getting charged for vandalism or theft - and might even get blamed for installing it since you'll have it in your possession when you're caught. The value of a charging kiosk probably puts you in the realm of felony charges and maybe there's some upgrade of the charges for doing it within an airport secure zone.

Licensing is very important to open source. It is literally what drives and protects large scale open source innovation and stops it going extinct. It’s actually worth learning about GPL 3.0 and copy left licensing.

Anyway if that goes away. A lot of innovation will too. If privately owned LLMs go on consuming everything, not giving back to the communities that make them what they are. It may erode the system.

I don't think crypto, as most chains implement it, is at all vulnerable to runaway inflation.

A functional crypto can go downhill for a lot of reasons. Technical failures. Association with scams.

But I am not sure how a tightly controlled supply over time, or asymptotically fixed supply, coin can have runaway inflation - if everyone starts demanding more of the coin for goods and services, there just isn't more of the coin for that.
I agree. I also feel the same way about putting 100 year old Nazis on trial. At this point, it's a total waste of resources that could be used much more productively.
