I thought this statement in the article was particularly worth celebrating:

> So this is a good academic debate between well-intentioned participants. It is being carried out in a cordial way, in public, in long-form essays rather than on Twitter.

I wish there were more examples of this kind of discourse for other hot-button issues of the day.
Honestly ChatGPT has worked well for things like this in my experience. If you can fit enough examples within a prompt, you may not need anything special.
@thunderbird120 asked a Stability employee and say that the plan is going to keep training the models up to 1.5T. So I don't know where do you read this.
Yes, but crucially that's different from your iPhone passcode and the thieves don't have access to it, foiling the attack under discussion.
It's their choice to chose that banner, and their choice to configure it this way. Most third-party banners are non-compliant, including this one. Which they should know, given that they advertise GDPR compliance for their main product.

The banner should have a Reject All option, preferably as default action.

> That could well be.

No, it is. That's literally why this happened, it was used as a bargaining chip/to buy time and they never cleaned it up. It's not supposition or a guess, it's the stated intent and consequence.

> it's not so obviously a good thing

Let's say you earn a million dollars before salary and you have 10 engineers working for you each making $100k. You pay out your salary and have $0 profit at the end of the year.

With this change, you are taxed as if you made $800k profit, so unless you've got a couple hundred grand in your bank account this is easily enough to bankrupt a business and put those 10 engineers out of work.

It would be one thing if the $800k was in the bank and this was Hollywood accounting to make it seem like it's not profit. But this is money that was paid to employees and now the business is expected to pay taxes on it as if it was never paid. It's absolutely farcical how anyone could look at this and not see it as ridiculous.
I'm really hoping for the ability to load in different sets of trained material as embeddings/textual inversions like in Stable Diffusion. Imagine scanning in some of your favorite philosophy and design books and throwing them with small weighting as a little flavor to your answer. The crossovers between LLM and Stable Diffusion type models (like Loras) is such a fascinating space to explore.

Thanks for your interests in NaturalSpeech and NaturalSpeech 2!

NaturalSpeech focuses on synthesizing human-level high-quality speech, by training on a single-speaker recording-studio dataset.

NaturalSpeech 2 trains on 44K hours of multi-speaker in-the-wild datasets with more than 5K speakers and focuses on synthesizing any speaker's voice in a zero-shot way given only a short speech prompt. When the speech prompt is noisy in the background, NaturalSpeech 2 will mimic this noise as well. If you want clean voice, just give a clean speech prompt is OK.

Thats just it, you can't do autonomy with LLMs because they are just as likely to return output that is true vs. fabricated, and thus can not operate without adult supervision.
At risk of sounding like a hypemonster, I think the most interesting application of generative A.I. is not “write a prompt”, “get an image”, “embarrass the judges at a photo contest” but rather integrating generative A.I. with more complex applications. The music visualizer is a great example, but generative A.I. might solve a big problem for “the metaverse” in that it would let ordinary users create interesting objects and environments for VR worlds and break the dependence on the very expensive processes used in game development.
server health is necessarily a function of the actual production traffic it receives, determined at the application layer, as observed by a specific observer

it can't be known by the server itself, as (among many other reasons) the server can't know about network issues between itself and any upstream caller

it can't be determined by out-of-band health check queries, because those queries don't represent actual traffic, the simplifying assumption that they _do_ introduces many common failure modes that any seasoned engineer can speak at length about

health checks can be a nice additional signal on top of monitoring actual prod traffic, but they can't be used by themselves, they just don't capture enough relevant information

They were high-quality. I used one for years, even had a hard drive attached for a while for Time Machine backups, which worked well.

I had to stop using it for some reason--it wasn't getting updates, or newer WiFi cards weren't working well with it, something--and everything I've used since has been disappointing. Even at the price point of the AirPort, they all have various issues. I wish this technology was a done thing.
A navy is an effective mobile border when you don't have a Hawaii everywhere. It's easier to defend your castle when your first wall is 2000 miles from your natural border.

I would say that engineer may have a perfectly valid reason to do it, and it may be even a better overall decision, as was indeed in this case, preventing fuel pipes in the cockpit as I understood from the article.

What is often lacking is testing of significant changes before giving final result to the user. And that, together with writing documentation and training is often deemed uninteresting and boring by engineer rich teams. "Community will fill up gaps" is often heard. Well maybe. And maybe community will write an accident analysis after something bad has happened.

Yes, exactly. There's large need for Ukrainian grain elsewhere, but export via sea routes is obviously very hard with the war going on. My comment was about the parent trying to twist this to mean there's no demand for the grain, which obviously isn't true.
A bell building like that almost certainly housed a large telephone exchange. Demolishing the building and then building a new one would likely require a temporary exchange to be installed somewhere else. Moving the existing building, and keeping it operating during the move, then building the new building would make it possible to transition the circuits to new exchanges built inside the new building with a minimum of downtime over the next 33 years.
Even with "just coding", a skilled coder can translate thoughts directly to code more precisely and faster than translating them first to imperfect English.
Google’s Rush to Win in AI Led to Ethical Lapses, Employees Say
Thanks! Analogies are always challenging, but the Zanzibar ReBAC model fits the “opinion” and “simplicity” of REST (at least when compared to SOAP).

We will definitely need the “Rails” equivalent for making ReBAC accessible to many more developers than it is today, and Topaz / Aserto definitely aims to be one of these! :)
It has happened, but there has to be a big pay off to make it worthwhile.

Smaller companies would likely be more frequent targets given they would be easier to compromise.

By the way, I'm not suggesting that the idea is useless. I'm just pointing out it isn't a panacea, and it still doesn't address the core problem raised in the article that you don't know if you are speaking to a human or not.
Several things are in dispute. Some people on Twitter say it didn't happen. The Russian Federation vacilates between "we've always owned crimea" and "we didn't invade, but we helped some separatists." The current Ukrainian government asserts that the Russians invaded Crimea.

I deeply respect Vladislav Surkov and his ability to weave a dazzling narrative. But at the end of the day most of the talking points he constructed regarding Ukraine and Donbas are complete BS.
I like writing in a monospaced font—it helps me focus, and it's what I'm used to. That said, I have found delight in the ability to customize certain modes to use different fonts.

I keep two fonts: a "reader" font and a "normal" font: normal is all fixed-width, while reader has longer characters for e.g. em-dashes and arrows.

I have a custom Iosevka build [1] that I use to make these. (The only difference is the `spacing` option: full-fixed-width is "term", while the reader version is "normal"—confusing, no?) I make Emacs use one or the other with a little config. [2]

That "zero footprint" viewer over Citrix is susprisingly resource-intensive, even at 1080p with lossy compression. If everyone used it (say, if every workstation were a Citrix client), it quickly adds up. During peak hours, it positively chugs. Not sure if networking or compute is the bottleneck here. Perhaps you're right: some institutions have not caught up to this day and age of 4K streaming, and their pre-Netflix infrastructure is buckling under the weight of all these Citrix streams.
Wat. It‘s a demo for a text to video model, of course the authors would show videos, expecting anything else is wild. It should be on your machine to handle this gracefully…
It's not a misunderstanding of the original design. It's ignoring it completely.

It's someone unqualified to be making engineering decisions engaging in an absurd level of optimization for one rare (to the point of being nonexistant) risk, to the point that they made a valve that is part of near constant use in many planes...nearly impossible to see or reach.

Alternating what tank you draw from is part of normal aircraft operation because otherwise you end up with balance issues. Making that valve require contorting oneself and fully deflecting a flight control surface is so asinine it defies belief.

I don't even understand how the builder thought this was a risk in the first place. Fuel lines are always at a minimum protected if not run outside the cockpit, ie firewalled.
And parents should be able to choose to take their kids to a private family friendly drag show if they choose.

Vox describes the initial flaws in Schmidt's reasoning here: https://www.vox.com/2017/5/8/15584268/eric-schmidt-alphabet-... (this is also the source behind that Wikipedia article)

Statistics from the US Beauteau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/office-and-administrative-support/te...) proves Vox's assessment was correct: there are now only 378,000 tellers in 2021 and is forecasted to continue to decrease. For context, the US population grew 68% over the same period suggesting that as a proportion of available jobs the difference is even more stark.

> If people are more effective at doing their jobs with a tool, their productivity would increase meaning their wages would also increase. Does anyone think people in finance would be paid more if we got rid of excel?

Excel made it possible to eliminate the manual parts of certain tasks that humans are bad at, and generally uninterested in doing.

AGI removes the need for a human entirely.

These considerations are not similar in substance or scope, and applying old models of understanding technology advancement is a dangerous game when exploring the potential realities of AGI.

It’d be better to frame AGI conversations as if we had just discovered an alien species but had not yet made first contact.

Assuming our understanding of biology on earth is sufficient to predict the outcomes of first contact would be similarly dangerous.
Just for fun I wrote this prompt "vercel monopolizes nextjs by only allowing certain features on their platform such as"

ChatGPT4:

1. Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR): This feature allows developers to update static pages at runtime without having to rebuild the entire website. Vercel has optimized its platform to support ISR, making it an exclusive feature for Next.js applications deployed on Vercel.

2. Real-time Feedback: Vercel's platform provides real-time feedback during development, allowing developers to see the changes they make in their code instantly. This feature is exclusive to Vercel, making it a significant advantage for developers using Next.js on their platform.

3. Edge Functions: Vercel offers Edge Functions, which allow developers to run serverless functions at the edge of their network, providing low-latency responses to user requests. This feature is particularly useful for Next.js applications that require server-side rendering and is exclusive to Vercel's platform.

4. Preview Mode: Vercel's platform supports Next.js's Preview Mode, which allows developers to preview draft content changes without affecting the live site. This

-------------------------------------------------------

Claude v1.3

That is not correct. Vercel does not monopolize Next.js or limit features to their platform.

Next.js is an open source framework that can be deployed anywhere. Some key facts:

1. Next.js is MIT licensed and the source code is available on GitHub for anyone to use, modify, and deploy.

2. Next.js apps can be deployed on any hosting provider or infrastructure. This includes:

- Vercel (the creators of Next.js)
- AWS
- GCP
- Azure
- DigitalOcean
- Heroku
- Your own servers, etc.

3. All Next.js features work regardless of where you deploy. This includes:

- Static Generation (SSG)
- Server Side Rendering (SSR)
- Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)
- API Routes
- Image Optimization
- Font Optimization
Interestingly, I don't think that is "correct" use of gaslighted. It sounds right metaphorically, as you are "igniting" them in a way that "lighting a gas source" would go. However, gaslighting is to sow doubt and confusion in people's self thoughts. I /think/ you could use this to the same end, but I think the initial was specifically not evoking a sense a rage, but one of dependence.

It's not overblown criticism. They advertise their product as GDPR-compliant, and yet their website uses dark patterns to trick people into allowing tracking, and is not GDPR-compliant.

a server can return 200 OK to every health check query and 5xx to every production request, is that server up or down? hopefully clear it is down

similarly, if it returns 5xx to every health check query but 200 to every prod request, is it up or down? hopefully clear it is up

if you want to monitor the status of a server (or application) for internal purposes, that's fine, but that's (at best) supplementary signal for the decisions made by a load balancer, not something you can make load balancing decisions on in isolation

>Yet you internalized a belief that we have to do it [keep laboring] when so much of the labor it would produce more of is already abundant. Why?

If there is so much abundance and labor isn't needed, why is almost every country on Earth currently experiencing food inflation? Abundance would mean prices go down, not up. We would need fewer farmers, not more.

Before you say it's being caused by corporate greed and price gouging, this is why I said globally. If for example Vietnam locally produces rice, and it's not even a capitalist country, there shouldn't be rice inflation there. Yet there is, and rice farmers in Vietnam aren't retiring because human labor and rice are so abundant.

Why pretend that just because some things have become abundant with technology, we can make society wide proclamations about labor no longer being needed?
