Please read the original Phase III and earlier studies where they thoroughly address these questions under the treatment modalities being tested.

The process for drug approval is extremely rigorous for a reason, and does have some downsides as a result. Let's not negate that work please by ignoring all of the hard work that's already been done to show exceptionally safe viability within the context it's being used in.

As noted above/below in different comments, the dose/dosing period/etc always makes a difference in whether a drug is harmful or helpful. In this case, the benefits strongly outweigh the downsides within this particular narrow kind of usecase, and of course hopefully we'll be able to get an even better handle on that in a broader set of examples in the ongoing Phase IV studies.

Plus, it's not like MDMA is some new chemical or anything like that. It's pretty darn well characterized under a variety of treatment/usage conditions at this point.
Even deeper, the essence of Ramadan is to not eat and drink while you need it the most, during the day, where you work and get tired.

It resonates with the feeling of holding your anger even when you have the rights to be angry. Holding your arrogance when faced against someone who had less money, fame, etc, than you.

And Ramadan fasting is more than just not eating and drinking. You are not allowed to lie, to be angry, to speaks foul/dirty.

Eid Mubarak! Taqabalallah!
It's pretty cool that it will cite open source if it quotes code from an open source project, unlike ChatGPT and Copilot.
I believe with pass through it dedicates the entire physical device to the to a single virtual environment. I was hoping there's progress here to share across multiple virtual environments with even a single physical gpu.

Great! I decided to make a video game for the rest of the year after being laid off in Feb so I'm not looking for jobs. It's something I've wanted to do for years, and now being in my 30s, I finally had enough savings that this was a viable option. I don't expect this to be a super profitable decision, but I'm happy to be working on something I'm passionate about for once.

I've enjoyed working on / improving my skills at the creative aspects I wouldn't normally get to do just coding (art, music)

I have no idea what the job landscape will be like when I'm done the game but oddly don't feel too worried about it. Ideally I'd never work for another employer again if I can figure out an income stream viable enough. Overall I'm probably a little more jaded towards the industry than I was pre-layoff (this wasn't my first layoff however).
> Economics is all that matters in this world.

It isn't. Ukraine is a current demonstration of that.
I think you are exactly correct. My big revelation in graduate school (music performance) was the idea that vocalizations of music "short circuit" our learning process and tend to get a performer closer to what we'd call an "expressive" or "musical" rendition.
Notated music's function is simply to give a systematic way to for people to reproduce/recreate an aural experience, but it is a "lossy" format that western classical musicians have to spend years training in performance practice and interpretation to adequately recapture the expressive elements that are not easy to capture in notation but are vital for engaging performances.

Lots of LLM services already ask for user feedback to "improve the model" and I imagine this would make that feedback even more useful.
Lithium is considerably more ubiquitous than crude oil, however. And cobalt in batteries is already on the decline, we won't be using it much longer. Heck, most EVs sold today don't use any cobalt at all.

Btw, I’m Canada, we have a unique Money transfer system called “bill pay” (it probably has an official name but that’s what everyone calls it). I’d love for you to add more filters for whether banks support features like this and others.

Sam Altman didn't say LLMs are over. (He's the CEO of OpenAI, so that would be a really strange thing for him to say, wouldn't it?)

What he actually said was that we've reached the point where we can't improve model quality simply by increasing its size (number of parameters). We'll need new techniques to continue to improve.

> At scale, you would need to factor in the durability of the media. [0] suggests that some types of bluray disks can last 20 to 50 years. Hard drives typically struggle to last 10 years. So if you need to replace hard drives 5x more than bluray disks, maybe it changes the economics.

Also consider the economics of actually retrieving and indexing the data. If you have to spend 2 hours looking for a blu-ray/DVD with the data you need, then maybe it changes the economics back to HDDs, which can look up a file within 20 TB of data almost instantaneously using an NTFS Journal.
What is wrong with stored procedures ? They are not fashionable nor especially expressive, but they perform reliably and they do pretty much what anything that might be expected from relational logic.

Awesome !

My favorite "movie withing movie" idea is "Wormhole X-Treme", the Stargate TV-show within the Stargate SG1 TV-show.

They use it for self-deprecating humor, by e.g. lampshading the sometime easy scenaristic shortcut they take, with some episodes where the "real" Stargate SG1 cast would (secretly) serves as advisor for Wormhole X-Treme spoof tv-show.

On top of that, the justification for it is absolutely genius: Because that way, the (in-universe) army could quell any rumor of the existence of the Stargate Command by simply saying "No, that from a TV-show, duh!".
I wonder if these improvements in memory alteration will make it possible to create micro models using an approach based on pruning non relevant connections but preserving the reasoning abilities of large models like GPT4.
User indifference is not the problem behind dark patterns. Some of these UIs are clearly designed to discourage people who do care, by making non-essential cookie rejection more expensive in terms of user time (one more click, obfuscation, hiding behind a "manage settings" button, walls of legalese...). I'm pretty sure there are orders of magnitude fewer users who want to manage detailed cookie settings at a super granular level, but somehow, as a user who would rather just reject all non-essential cookies, I see a lot of "cookie settings management UI" that I have to "save", when all I could've done with is a "reject all" button. This isn't a user problem.
It's really fast! That is very important. Also it provides 3 variation drafts. I see this as a winner
What I mean is resources will be limited or models that are slightly worse will be released that will be much more cost effective but not quite as good.

Except for the hot reloading (which you mention twice btw) the tooling for the popular languages has everything in the list, and most can be achieved with GDB and Wireshark alone, in any language that GDB supports.

TIL that emojis are not rotated 180 degrees in Arabic.

Also, you don't rotate numbers either, right? As in, if you were to embed 12345 in a sentence it would look like: This sentence talks about 54321, which is a number just under 00002.
Indeed. Invisible Hand strikes again.
Putting aside for a minute that most colleges today are just super expensive diploma mills with a fun social scene. The theory behind grading an essay is that you’re assessing not just the idea but also the ability of the writer to communicate that idea. By forcing people to work on how they communicate effectively you get better communication, which in theory leads to a more peaceful world.
Interesting dialogue, it's a kind of computer game, or better call it AI game and LLMs are incredibly good playing any character. It's fun to time travel, transform into different beings, thinking like an alien, etc.
My understanding is that a lot of natural gas is used at refineries because, for so long, it was effectively "free" - there was a limited market for it and it was a byproduct of refining the stuff you wanted (light and heavy oils).
> USD's status as the world reserve currency is slowly starting to come into question

The U.S. dollar has always had people looking for a replacement. (There is a solid economic argument for America de-internationalising the dollar for domestic purposes.) It was weaker in the wake of 2008 than it is today.

> Other countries are starting to trade with Russia in their currency. Arab countries are starting to trade oil in non-USD

The petrodollar hypothesis is a debunked explanation for American hegemony, even dollar hegemony. I traded oil in pounds sterling and euros years ago--much of the world settles own way.

Also, this limited definition of soft power ignores American military supremacy, both on its own and with its alliances, which are strengthening, as well as American economic heft, which in even the most pessimistic estimates is a commanding strength through at least the 2050s, a timeline even the stupidest heads of state can see. It's this soft power that keeps the Russian hard power frontline a few miles off its border and the Chinese' a few miles off its shore.

(People also tend to overstate the real economic effects of the dollar losing reserve status, equating it with Britain post-Suez.)

Joe spoke about SIO being used as prior art in a patent troll case re: USB. I believe it was in one of his VCF talks.
LLMs are instrumental in pitching the idea that you can fire all your expensive humans and replace them with expensive machines. Why hire a customer service department when you can just point your customers at an AI? Why hire an operations staff when planning and process supervision can be done with an algorithm. And if you ever thought you needed a human, you could just hire a contractor/consultant from BCG or MacKinzie. They would fall under quarterly expenses and not the annualized personnel budget, and would be fully deductible in virtually every jurisdiction.

And even if you can't do that now, there's a chance it might work in the future, so you can legit tell your investors your plan is to drastically lower costs starting around two to four years. And it's still considered plausible, so when we're both sued by our investors for fraud in four years, you can legit make the claim you acted in good faith and on advice from people considered "experts."

But to keep up the charade, we must blatantly ignore any bad result and brand any academic with the temerity to get in the way of my startup earning me a bazillion dollars as a crank.

Intermittent fasting is when you fast intermittently
This is a fair point and I apologize if I wasn’t clear enough on my intentions. I tried to give a few interesting details to show that I’m not trying to be all bark and no bite, but I also am not sure how to navigate openly discussing my findings. I invite those interested to email me because I would feel more comfortable sharing on a case by case basis than to publicly state anything too specific. However, in another comment thread here I did dive into slightly more detail.
I didn't downvote you but it seems as if there are more obvious explanations such as low unemployment and higher salaries for low-skill jobs--making signing up for the military with all that implies a less desirable option for a lot of people who now have better alternatives.

And "woke messaging"? A proxy war with Russia that US troops are not involved in--certainly relative to the US military situation overseas in the past couple of decades? And lots of private companies required COVID shots to remain employed.

So, yes, those seem like largely irrelevant reasons.

What you're imagining the function of the hypothetical "asn.net" to be, was just the intended function of the "net" TLD as a whole: it was a namespace for registering computer networks under, to give those networks' devices authoritative FQDNs in PTR records, and to give services like WHOIS something to point to to talk about "the operator of network X."

This intention included distinct Autonomous Systems, yes; but also ISP networks (which usually exist across many ASes to do their work).

Even today, if you do a PTR lookup on your own residential IP address, it probably resolves to a .net-suffixed FQDN.

I'm not sure when exactly Verisign (registrar operator of the .net TLD for its entire lifetime so far) went off the rails and began allowing usages outside the scope of "the management of computer networks." Almost certainly wasn't until a few years after the birth of the web (when everything having a marketable domain name became hip.) .net was definitely viewed as a "special" TLD, with special registration requirements, for a good long while — up through to at least the '90s, and possibly into the early '00s.

Honestly, I think it might just be a scalability-of-verification issue. Verisign might be able to check that every registrant in the US is a network operator (as was effectively all they had to do in the '80s); but every registrant in the entire world? A bit much to ask.

Which leads me to my current belief about why the network rules of .net as a TLD are currently the way they are: it's the least-work option for Verisign to keep the TLD going for its intended purpose. Rather than needing to individually verify every zone as a network, per the current rules, Verisign only needs to step in if a problem arises, or if there's a dispute between usages.

When such a thing happens, Verisign then does the "verification as being used for the operation of a computer network" step it theoretically should have been doing anyway; and if the domain fails the verification, Verisign takes it away.

That's for the DNS homing part. What about the "having an abuse website to complain to" part?

Well, in practice, AS network operators just don't care all that much about Internet principles of self-hosting, federation, public goods, etc. where their human-readable information is concerned.

Because of this, most ASes who own AS\d+\.NET zones don't actually maintain websites on them; and in fact don't maintain public websites anywhere. Instead — just like individuals hooked on Facebook — they rely on updating their human-readable metadata in public databases owned by private companies.

For every website like http://as9009.net/, there are ten ASes that would just tell you to go look at https://www.peeringdb.com/asn/9009.

In learning and practicing division, you gain an intuition about how numbers are composed. This is an intuition that is useful when you’re trying to figure out if you should pay for that 50 dollar item, or if 6 payments of 10 dollars is a reasonable deal. While you could always bring out your calculator every time you make a decision, most people don’t and rely primarily on quick intuition instead.

This is more important than ever in the world of chat GPT. When you’re dealing with something that can quickly generate something that sounds convincing regardless of truth value, you need that quick intuition to keep up. So the question is, if you’re a chemistry major, how do you gain that intuition? It’s possible that generating lots of data from GPT and just checking it for truth value more painstakingly before handing it in is sufficient to eventually learn. But it’s also possible that you do need to personally learn the fundamentals by working through problems if you want to eventually gain the intuitions a chemistry major needs to have. While a deeper problem exists in the commodification…it’s hard to say how much that deeper problem affects the ideal way to teach people to be skilled in a subject.
Think of ChatGPT as Breaking Bad and Bard as Better Call Saul.
As near as I can tell conducting a “malign influence campaign” isn’t an actual criminal charge that can be brought against someone in the US. The people in that article were charged with illegally acting on behalf of a foreign government without registration. Americans continue to be free to conduct malign influence campaigns to their hearts’ content so long as they aren’t doing it on behalf of a foreign government. Between politics, lobbying, social media, and general advertising, we have a massive and thriving malign influence industry here in the land of the free.
I'm still not convinced they are capable of temporal reasoning.

I've asked it temporal questions before but without explicitly mentioning the temporal nature... the answers tend to contradict themselves if they haven't already seen the question before (even when querying general knowledge), until you point out the temporal component, even then it trips up and cannot build upon this reasoning in my tests.

I suspect a large component of the interesting responses we see where it appears to be doing logical reasoning beyond language are due to statistical correlation in language because of the sheer, inhuman quantity of linguistic knowledge it's effectively encoded. The problem with this is: It can't reason about new things (because it can't actually reason - much), makes it appear smarter than it is, which IMO largest danger in applied ML today, especially to those less familiar with it's limitations, it looks like magic, and people start mandating it be used for sensitive things.

We do have a near endless supply of human generated data. But another path is to train each component individually and then let the network combine them into a unified whole. I suspect synthetic data will go a long way here. The problem is one of inducing the right kind of information dynamics in the network. We can potentially synthesize unlimited data that require specific information dynamics to solve efficiently.

In my view, we will know we reached AGI when a network can learn to play chess well through self-directed analysis after only being given the description of the game. Obviously chess is a solved computational problem, but only through direct programming of minimax search. If we can teach a network with enough generality such that it can self-induce the right computational structure within itself to learn, e.g. induce a self-play subnetwork, then this is plainly AGI, superintelligence even. But I see a direct path from where we are now to such a network. This is why I think AGI is imminent.
Why do we even need publishers? What is stopping the scientific community from saying "Fuck this" and simply posting their PDFs on their own websites, or on an archival site? Is it simply bureaucratic inertia?
> When we needed COVID vaccines, the research was done by private entities.
