I am familiar with this situation and agree it is a problem. But this is a deterministic, well known, algorithm rather than AI, isn't it? I would also say that this falls under bias rather than misalignment. I think bias is a much, much more realistic problem area than misalignment.
It means that if you were to assign an ID to 103 trillion objects a billion times, the average amount of times you would get a collision at all is 1.
Same! nice to meet another "&c" user ^_^

I'm afraid I can't remember why I began writing "&c" rather than "etc", although I know I now prefer it (rather than it merely being a matter of habit) since it neatly separates the "et" and the "cetera" and looks cute to boot. Do you remember where you picked up the practice?

Is there a way to add entries to this collection, or do you only list museums you have been personally been at?

I ask because I tried look for listings of places I know well (e.g. Turin, Italy or Budapest, Hungary) and found that the closest entry was hundreds of miles away.

Turin has, for example, this: http://www.museodellafrutta.it/en/ which is pretty niche, imho.
Budapest has a chocolate museum: https://www.csokolade-muzeum.hu/bemutatkozunk/ and so on...

> So the letter A would be read as “A per se A”, to ensure it was distinguished from the indefinite article a. The letter I, similarly, would be “I per se I” to differentiate it from the pronoun I. And the letter O would be “O per se O” to differentiate it from the interjection O!

But we don’t want et the letter et here, we want the word et.

I don't think GP was making a bleeding heart argument for the poor drug cartel enforcers, they were simply pointing out that a drug cartel can only use violence to respond to any perceived injustice (or ignore it and eventually dissolve, of course), there are no non-violent means to solve disputea between cartels.
Let me explain it a different way.

When you buy a Porsche, you are not paying an inflated price because you are getting performance. You are paying an inflated price because of the economies surrounding the car - Porsche makes and sells a lower number of cars, so it needs to have a higher profit margin per car, however to justify that cost it needs something else, which is namely the badge (since nobody really uses the performance on those cars on a daily bases to get to work faster).

Fundamentally though, because people who buy these cars aren't buying them for robustness, Porsche sees no reason to invest in making things reliable, since that would cut into their profit margins, and since there aren't really significant complaints about reliability, they don't have issues, and in turn can sell parts at a premium because it is accepted that if you are rich enough to afford a Porsche, you are rich enough to pay a premium for upkeep.

Apple is exactly the same way with electronics. You get slightly more spec wise (if even TBH), and pay a inflated price because of the branding. And once you buy into the Apple ecosystem, you play by their rules, which means that you replace your device with a new one if you want to have the best performance.

Of course its not optimal, and for that reason people who are value-conscious don't buy Apple products or Porsche cars.
If it's a choice between protesters getting tear gassed vs your shop and livelyhood being burnt down by rioters the gas is not that much of a price to pay
While that may be true, to avoid confusion and considering GPT4 is magnitudes more advanced than this project and thus way more popular of a brand.. they should make this crystal clear in the first few lines
Hey hey. What's 30 years between friends?
I guess maybe one could make that argument, but the majority of AI alignment concerns seem more along the lines of skynet level scenarios.

The paperclip optimizer could be called a "bug" I guess. But the comparison to Tesla autopilot is interesting. First, is anyone calling that an AI? Second, when an objective baseline comparison to human drivers is possible, shouldn't that determine whether the AI is a net benefit or loss? And then (assuming a benefit) we can say with some degree of confidence that the AI is not malicious?
I think this non-announcement is the preamble to trying to change the licensing of SO content in such a way that other organizations can't use it as training data, but SO can.

>> Phonics works better but whole language works OK.

> The evidence suggest that whole language fails totally for low SES students.

Again "fails totally" is wrong, but also low SES students are a difficult group for complicated reasons, none of which teachers control.

> Again, phonics is just about decoding language. Comprehension require a lot of vocabulary exposure, cultural competency, and other adjacent things that help build a mental schema of the language. The study the Guardian is citing says exactly this.

Totally agree, my beef is that most of the legislation and parental demands around phonics and SOR force teachers to use phonics in situations where they know it won't work, or actively isn't working.

> It's important to understand that the Guardian is engaged in a political debate around phonics and is criticizing it for "encourage a love of reading,"

I mean maybe, but go beyond it and look at the stuff they cite: the report and the PISA study. Teachers aren't just responsible for getting students to sound out words correctly, they need to take illiterate children and make them functioning members of advanced societies. The report has lots of data on how the focus on phonics undermines this long term goal.

The quote from the DoE is:

"Since the introduction of the phonics screening check in 2012, the percentage of Year 1 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading has risen from 58% to 82%, with 92% of children achieving this standard by Year 2."

That's good! But it's entirely unresponsive to the argument the report makes, which is that while phonics works for getting students to sound stuff out, their reading scores in subsequent years drop dramatically. It's Table 1 in their report.

> which says in its conclusion that NO study in the UK met the evidentiary requirements for their inclusion criteria but other studies from the broader Anglosphere suggest that phonics is important in learning to read

I don't think this is what it says, but either way it's pretty common for academic papers to list ways their conclusions could be wrong. This is a sign of a good paper, not a bad one.

Well in theory the government is the public, as the public elects the government, as Canadian happens to be a Parliamentary Democracy. As it stands right now, the government has no control over the CBC and the public have not given it a mandate to do so. The funds go directly from public tax to the CBC. It would not be possible for the government of Canada to currently unilaterally make that change. If they did, I think it would be fair to change the label to a governmental media organization vs a public media organization. We would also presumably want to change calling Canada a democracy.
This is exactly what I'm talking about in the other response to your previous comment. The joke goes "AI ceases to be AI when we start to understand how it works".

But it doesn't matter if you call the software that kills us all "conscious AI that was misaligned" or if it was "deterministic code that had a bug" - the underlying problem that we're all dead remains the same. We're just arguing about labels instead of issues.

The AI that kills us all (if this happens) will very likely be a simple, deterministic algorithm that ran on A LOT of data.
Given that Netlify has very specific and unusual steps to setup in the first place, yes, it is a concern.

Ask HN: As a dev: learn marketing? Or start side project? (startup skills)
TL;DR: as a dev, what's the most valuable skill to learn when wanting to become a more well-rounded solo founder and how do you learn that skill the quickest?

Some thoughts (I could be entirely off-base, hence the TL;DR):
I have a side project in mind. I know nothing about marketing other than some basic ideas (I think I read half of the book Traction at one point?).

I was wondering, should I:

1. Learn marketing

2. Start a side project?

Goal: in 5 years from now, I want to be well positioned to launch a startup? What startup? I'm an idea guy by heart. I studied a master CS 5 years ago + did a software engineer career, in order to implement my ideas. In other words: I'll think of something that I find fun and will solve a problem.

Also, if learning marketing first is the smarter option. Should I learn marketing by taking a course, or should I take a side step (or step back) in my career and do a marketing role?

The answer is in the third paragraph.

So would referendum be actually needed on any decision on anything related to CBC? Or could government with support of parliament unilaterally change for example funding?

If it is only and absolutely only the first then it can be considered public. If later in anyway clearly fully government funded.
With the cloud, Kubernetes, Docker and all the other stuff, I don't think the OS/language-specific VM dichotomy still makes sense.

Can people really claim they manage memory and resources with a low-level language when their 30-line YML configured cluster reallocates whole machines at a time?
This seems like a good place to post a practical report (or a data point):

I've been using Clojure since 2008 and I've been running a single-founder business (SaaS) using Clojure and ClojureScript for the last 8 years. I could not have succeeded without Clojure.

From what I observe in online discussions, the biggest advantages are ones that young programmers do not appreciate :-)

* backwards compatibility: I don't have to deal with language-caused breakage

* fantastic environment: the JVM received bazillions of man-years of development and I get the benefits of a great compiler and a choice of fantastic garbage collectors

* mature community: no drama, just getting work done

* single language for server-side and client-side: most of my model (business logic) code is cljc, and gets used in both places

* no need for external serialization formats like JSON when sending data to the client (use EDN)

* not a single concurrency-related bug over 8 years

* eliminates most template/boilerplate code: nearly all code that I write is directly related to functionality

As for actual "language features", I also value different things than most commenters:

* macros are very useful, but I don't use them often. I have less than 20 in my entire code base.

* transducer pipelines are a fantastic tool to structure the application and promote code reuse, with great performance as a free side benefit, I feel like they are hugely underrated

* core.async is really useful once you get to asynchronous processing

There are also some nice practical advantages, like ClojureScript being compiled in advanced mode using the Google Closure compiler (a free performance boost!).

There is no "magic" to Clojure. It's just another programming language. It isn't revolutionary. It isn't hip or fashionable. It doesn't write your code for you. But it has a number of small improvements and niceties, which taken together result in a huge difference when writing real-world large applications.

Most importantly, when I look at my day to day work, I spend very little time on writing actual code, and I don't have any boilerplate or repetitive code. I spend time trying to understand customer workflows and thinking about how to model and represent these processes. In other words, GPT code generation isn't taking my job anytime soon.
Not sure what you mean by obsolete.

I agree that they are optional, but I wouldn't go so far to say they're obsolete.
> This gives you all kinds of ridiculous capabilities, most notably being the ability to train the model while it's live in production (learning & use are effectively the same thing).

Bad, BAD idea. Remember the Tay chatbot, which 4chan managed to turn into a raging Nazi in the matter of a few hours?
It's strictly superior from a "can you pronounce words" standpoint, but not necessarily in terms of a "long-term reader" standpoint. As another "whole words" person who pronounced the 'b' in 'subtle' until he was in like 5th/6th grade, I can tell you I was reading and comprehending things that my peers in the "gifted" program were not and could not, and that continued... probably to the present day but definitely through my school age years.

And there's evidence that the focus on phonics essentially kills a love of reading and has a deleterious effect on long-term reading skills [0].

The reserved areas are managed by the ARM cores running inside the SD cards. Your host machine doesn't see them.

In some SD cards you can use proprietary magical commands to communicate with the firmware and update it or ask it to mess with the hidden sections for you, but those options aren't exposed to any disk copy tool I know of.
If you compare, for example, the 1960s view of future with the current - quite a difference. A lot now is about costs to bear and then eventually it might get better.
Are there business opportunities in the problems - for sure, but that isn't quite the same as a general bright outlook on the future.

On top of that, Azure seems to have become the main platform, and most people that cared about their career have jumped from Windows into "Azure OS".

While I also like "Not Just Bikes" and this idea in general, I must say that urbanists sometimes make this mistake - living right next to a dozen of people next door and a hundred more in the same building doesn't mean that you will talk to them. I've lived in the apartment for all my life and changed it last year. I have no idea who are the people next door to me, I don't know their names and the whole social interaction with them is limited to "have a nice day" once every few weeks when we accidentally meet in the corridor.

The other benefits of the higher density living does work though. More small businesses and shops nearby, hobby points of interest in the 15-30 minutes distance on foot or bus/tram, better infrastructure, etc.
> trust ecosystem

What trust ecosystem are you talking about ? It was a lack of foresight by google on their own discovery of transformers, and it would probably have been sitting in dust or been killed off by the time it would have taken them to reach GPT-2 level of progress.

The transformer neural network itself only computes the next token probabilities; the sampling of the token, and the mechanism by which the token it generates is concatenated to the input to make it generate the token after, are technically not part of the LLM.

So we can either study the LLM strictly from single-token outputs, or from how it combines into larger constructs. The former excludes not just CoT, but a large part of the benchmarks on which they are tested.

Looking at it another way, how would humans solve PARITY? I don’t think anyone would read the string, close their eyes, then give an answer without a single thought. At the very least, I would place my finger on each digit successively, effectively using a tool that acts as a memory storage (storing a cursor through the string). The reason I would do that, is that I would have devised an algorithm that requires going through digits one at a time.
