My view is that the entire "friendly AI" movement, and indeed the very idea that it is even possible to align an AGI, is sheer hubris.

Assuming the qualities of AGI are what its proponents claim (namely, intelligence far beyond the upper limit of human intelligence), humans "aligning" such an entity is laughable. We've had spacecraft built by highly intelligent engineers lost because they overlooked a metric/imperial conversion, and similar people believe that they can devise a watertight scheme to effectively contain an adversarial superintelligence?

The smartest humans can barely contain very small aspects of the regular Universe, and the Universe isn't even targeting them like an AGI would.
Is Tesla a media company now?
My second answer is a lower bound on the correct answer and extremely close to correct. Think of finding the ID collision first.

The probability of having at least one ID collision where they also share the same birthday is pr(2 matching ids) * pr(birthday match in 2 people) + pr(3 matching ids) * pr(birthday match in 3 people)...

The probability of having 3 matching IDs is extremely low. Assume you already have a match of size 2. Now you're looking for 1/10^19 match with ~1/10^10 draws. Not good odds. So we can ignore everything after the ID match of size 2, and get very close with 96% * 1/365 or 0.26%.

How much information is actually picked up by listening to this compared to normal? I can listen to lofi without paying attention but Sagan isn't something that you can learn by osmosis. Or is the purpose of this to be an actively listener?

As a grad student in this field, Meta has always had great contributions to the open source machine learning effort, through no small effort of Yann LeCun's internal advocacy. What has changed recently is their PR strategy: OpenA(P)I has basically shown everybody that it doesn't matter if you have the best models if your publicity sucks.
Sure, but that performance bottle neck is a pittance. On my old x86 MacBook Pro using python, I generated 18B numbers in well under a minute.

People move a lot these days because of mainly economic circumstances that fit their age, work, family circumstances and friends are made mainly earlier in life.

Chances are thus that most friendships will be separated over time. That's not even considering relationships that start remotely in the first place.
There's electric field created by the L-shaped conductor a millimeter away. No wonder that it affects electrons in the larger conductor.

School physics teaches us that metals are perfect conductors of electric field, so the field in the large conductor should be the same across it, and not follow the L shape.

But it's only true for a stationary situation, basically DC. At higher frequencies the fact that the conductor (every part if it!) has some capacitance and inductance starts to play a major role in how a fast-changing signal propagates over it. Both the capacitance and the inductance of the part of the large conductor under the L-shaped conductor on the other side are affected by the L-shaped conductor.

These considerations could help see the result as "more intuitive".
I have no friends. I moved again in the last year. I have my brother, my parents, and my wife.

It’s really hard to make good quality friends. Honestly, I couldn’t be bothered right now to invest that kind of time and effort.

I hope that changes one day, but at this rate I’ll probably make friends among the parents of my kids friends one day. I just have other priorities now. I’m content, and I have a solid marriage. It’s fine for now.
This is called "open admissions" and community colleges generally operate this way.

It really isn’t hard. Everyone is so devoid of human contact, if you’re willing to put 6 months of effort you can do it

Edit: you really only need to find one, maybe two people and be okay just pushing it by asking people to do stuff. You'd be surprised how willing people are to do anything. Just start asking. It's also hard bc we (in america) design our cities very poorly

My personal theory is that suburban sprawl killed the "third place" in modern society. If you have to drive to a place to socialize (which probably involve drinking), then you're probably not going.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place
In my testing, OpenSignal doesn't seem to be as good.
Suburbs 100 years ago did not have roads to maintain, communal sewers, and other amenities that we expect today. Suburbs 100 years ago were more like the dachas/summer houses people have in Russia - no running water, no electricity, outhouse instead of a plumbed bathroom, no fire/medical services... etc.

Sure, under that model they are definitely sustainable.
I think the potential for generating elaborate urban legends of this technology is phenomenal. I wonder if this will become a game changer in the future on this feature alone.
I agree that the hanging out at home with friends thing is probably over represented in sitcoms for plot purposes. That said the entire culture in Europe historically centred around working then going to the village or town pub/tavern/restaurant afterwards for drinks, along with church on Sundays. And this still is life in a lot of places. In addition, the majority of people would probably stay where they grew up rather than moving away for study and work unless forced by war or famine. And going back even further we lived in close knit hunter gatherer tribes. Only seeing your friends twice a year is definitely not normal human behaviour when viewed historically.
Agree with you except the prefer reason.

I like to using Window because of its advantages about UX, which I cannot find in Linux or macOS. For example: the consistent keyboard shortcuts, the explorer's UX and UI when accessing by mouse and keyboard, the window management including tiling flow, the muti-monitor management...

I feel that there is power at Microsoft forcing Windows including terrible adware as now, just for profit (look at Bing AI). It can be good for short term but I don't think it's good for long term.

In other words, get out more?

All these articles about "just moving". Who can afford it? We would lose A$24,890 just on stamp duty - a "tax" that goes to the government based on nothing other than the value of the property that they've been inflating over the last three decades. If I had a spare $25k kicking around, using it just to pay off creditcards would make me much happier than moving next to friends.

Go to meetup.com. Find a weekly meetup in your area that matches one of your interests (or start one). Go to that meetup every week. Within a couple months you'll be friends with the regulars. I've done this in two cities and I'm still long distance friends with the people I met in the first city. It only takes a couple hours per week and for your mental health you should be getting out for social activities anyway. Go do it now, you'll be happy that you did.
> Nuclear power plants have to be next to a large body of water

With the one exception of Arizona’s Palo Verde generating station. It’s the US’s largest power plant (by actual production, not nameplate capacity) and it is the world’s only nuclear power station not located near a body of water. It’s right in the middle of the desert. It’s cooled by evaporating waste water from Phoenix.

Its way easier to define exactly what kind of instances you need in GCP in my experience. Need more RAM? Just add a bit more RAM, don't need to completely double it along with double the CPU and double the networking and what not. Just need one more CPU core? Done.

Then the reliability of GCP is a good bit higher. gp3 has 99.8% durability. I've seen several EBS volumes just disappear. Not deleted, just become permanently gone due to hardware failures. Compare that to 99.999% durability on GCP. You're spending several times for extra redundancy and complexity per gig on AWS just to come close to the durability to GCP.

If I have a choice between AWS and GCP, and unless I've got some specific product need for AWS, I'd probably go with GCP every time. It's such a better product IMO.

Samsung is known for adding a more user friendly version of everything that comes from stock Android.

(Personally, I disagree, but this seems to be almost unanimous. Even for people that don't buy their phones.)
Elon owns both Twitter and Tesla/SpaceX etc. The US government has a significant number of contracts for both companies and directly funds their ventures.
It's also highly correlated to declines in religiosity (though that might itself correlate with urbanization / increased wealth). Fertility rates were dropping in France in the 18th century because of a secularization push (observed by counting the frequency of religious references in people's wills correlated to family size).
The arguments are extremely flawed on several fronts.

1. We don’t know how to do good risk modeling with huge unknowns. How do you know the universe you create will meet the criteria that would put into the benefit part of the cost/benefit curve? So we don’t know X. We don’t know what the magnitude of the benefit is. Is it really 1e9? And we don’t know the probability of failure. Is it really 1e-6? So sure, for some random set of hypothetical numbers, the cost benefit trade off is there. But we don’t know what the real numbers are and we don’t know what the uncertainty space is.

2. This argument implicitly puts cost/benefit into a single linear variable. But we know that’s not the case. What if the harm is an exponential and the probability of it / magnitude has different scaling factors than your benefit function?

3. If all you need is a planet and you have this tech, what is the likelihood that you can’t use a planet other than Earth or you can’t migrate humans away first?

This is like those mathematical logic puzzles that get you to conclude that 1=2 because an interim step was a division by 0.

I'm happier with way fewer friends. Being an adult and not being forced to interact with people who don't share much in common with me significantly improved my life.
I like ddg, but they recently stopped honoring quotation marks, and google started honoring them again.

Google search is still generally unusable, but when DDG goes into “too few hits” mode, I find myself using g! to good effect.

This is after using DDG for about a decade, and never once having g! produce better results than it.

Anyway, I’m confident that llm integrated search will make these problems 100x worse. Now, if it can’t find questionable blogspam, it’ll just start pathologically lying. Great.
>I just noticed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35563286 - yikes, that's really not ok. But I'm going to assume that your intention not to do that kind of thing backpropagates to cover earlier cases as well.

I noted your attention to that comment earlier today, but am only responding here and now. And yes, your assumption is correct. Thank you for (in this case, and in general here on HN) for embodying the ideals in the the HN guidelines.

I can't speak for anyone else, but your example makes me more inclined to calmer, more reasoned and good faith posting.

In fact, when I joined HN 2.5 years ago or so, I left behind a different news aggregator (which shall remain nameless) because I realized (not without provocation, but as you correctly point out, that's not a good reason to be a jerk) I was acting just as poorly as those I would castigate there. And I didn't like what sort of person that made me.

HN, its users (for the most part) and the consistently enforced guidelines led me to be more measured, thoughtful and mindful of the impact of my interactions with others.

As we've seen, I'm not perfect, but I'm much more of the kind of poster that I want to be thanks to that.

Just to confirm my understanding WRT the comment referenced, it was the last three words that were the bulk of the problem, yes?

Edit: Cleaned up my prose.

Thunderfoot is a joke who feeds off haters like you. Half his critism is about products still in development. Totally ignoring how Tesla is pushing producing 2 million cars this year and SpaceX is launching more to orbit than the rest of the world combined.

But yea focus on the stuff in dev as if that negates the rest of the real progress.

Trivializing the significance or landing full size boosting from orbital velocity reliably is laughable. You must be jealous of real accomplishments.
Is the clojure user experience still a JVM stack trace on anything going wrong? As a non-JVM developer that was extremely off-putting.

I never quite bought into the atoms/transactions concurrency model, but probably wouldn't have looked so closely at hashed tries if they weren't clojure's choices and those have brought me a lot of joy.
Americans are friendly but when it comes to the decisions that matter (voting and the votes with our wallets) the preference is for the private over the public. People are scared to depend on each other or to be forced to interact with strangers.

So we’ll all try to have our own cars and drive on huge suburban streets and put our kids in private schools and build fences around our yards and vote down zoning laws that would promote density. And we’ll wonder why the people in that cute little European town we visited that one time seemed so much happier.

As technology advances, so do the threats that come with it. Attackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems and gain access to sensitive information. In this landscape, it’s crucial for businesses of all sizes to have an understanding of their attack surface – essentially the digital footprint exposed to potential attacks.
Companies think they are simplifying things by using Azure since they already rely so heavily on MS software. That's pretty much the only reason Azure is more popular. GCP is a far better platform.
They'll move from state schools to private schools, because highly respected, well-performing teachers will be looking to work with other highly respected, well-performing teachers and well-regarded schools. This was already the case, but it will just result in further privatization.
It's running through an emulator, and not even a native one at that.

I'm not sure if JSLinux will run Win11, but my experience with using QEMU in emulation mode to run it is that even on hardware a decade newer, it's still slower than this Win2k in the browser.
I most certainly agree with your last point - I do think that many of us are underestimating the impact of LLMs due to certain issues.

That said, I think your example does highlight how the LLMs are most useful when the operator knows what they are doing. In this case your friend appears to be competent at their job - they just need help with translation and phrasing. If your friend also needed the LLM to do the problem solving for them, I'd be more skeptical about its use.
I agree with this as well. Code has been absolutely anemic outside of GPT-3/4. One trick they used was to train it on code first and then also use a lot more code than we see in Llama even.
Oh yes that sounds very similar. So 36 months lease costs just shy of 40K. Isn’t the price of a new Ioniq 5 close to that?
It's true that it's unpredictable for a single atom, but when you're dealing with a macroscopic object (say, a metal part), it's quite predictable. The law of large numbers helps out quite a bit here (and the number of atoms is very large).
I believe you need a certain amount of points to unlock the feature. I couldn’t tell you how many unfortunately, I haven’t used SO much in years.
"The great supercomputer Deep Thought is the most powerful computer ever built, with one exception.
It was designed by hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings, who wanted to know the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Its creation annoyed a fair few philosophers, who felt that it was taking over their turf.

After seven and a half million years of serious cogitation, Deep Thought spoke the answer. However, it was so inexplicable that Deep Thought then had to go on and design the most powerful computer ever built (with no exceptions) to work out what the question was."
This is a real question, so I apologize if it comes off as sophistry:

Is the work of judging the accuracy of a summary not just the work of comprehending the non-summarized field?

For example, a summary could be completely correct and cite its facts exhaustively. Say you're asking about available operating systems: it tells you a bunch of true info about Windows and OSX, but doesn't mention the existence of Linux. Without familiarity with the territory, wouldn't verifying the factuality of each reference still leave you with an incomplete picture?

At a slightly more practical level, do you actually save any time if you've gotta fully verify the sources? I assume you're doing more than just making sure the link doesn't 404, as citing a link that doesn't say what it is made out to be isn't exactly a new problem, but at that point we're mighty close to the traditional experience of running through a SERP.

Finally, even if you're reading all the links in detail, isn't that still a situation prone to automation bias? There's a lot of examples of cases where humans are supposed to check machine output, but if it's usually good enough the checkers fall into a pattern of trusting it too much and skipping work. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I think I'd eventually get less gung-ho about verifying sources and eventually do myself a mischief.

I'm asking because I've been underwhelmed by my own attempts at using LMs for search tasks, so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
It makes me so angry that companies like Microsoft are so dead set on shoving the culture down my throat by all means possible for a few cents of ad revenue while I do my best to avoid the culture as much as possible.
