Great piece, I’ve never thought about space flight management that way.

It seems obvious now why SpaceX is able to build better interplanetary rockets than NASA for faster, better and cheaper.
This is amazing!! Full support
From what I understand, when they plan to land on the Moon or Mars, they won't have a flame trench setup (on the Moon/Mars), so it needs to be able to land and take off from the ground.

Disruption for disruption's sake doesn't seem desirable. Stagnation is bad, but not as bad as going in the wrong direction instead of staying still.
I meant pale eye color, I edited the parent comment. It had nothing about skin color. And also eye color is just one dimension among hundreds, some of which you listed.
Correct, the state is during propagation. You could really even propose that a basic feedforward network has state during propagation.

I think the proposition is that it’s conscious/sentient during propagation.

I’ve got a graduate level background in cellular neurophysiology, and I’ll admit that I consider this a lot.

In the end, I don’t think it will ever matter because a computer’s consciousness/sentience necessarily depends on humans not wiping memory.
Great, now prove crypto is a security. They haven't done this yet. I'm sure some fall under that definition, but some of the big boys, especially ETH, are at least ARGUABLY not, and the SEC simply hasn't done enough homework yet.

I can think of exactly one case!

In college there was, for a glorious, brief, time, a program called mytunes. It would scan the network for iTunes instances that had the network sharing turned on. Then it allowed you to copy over entire iTunes libraries (iTunes only let you play songs from other users).

I would log on to the dorm network which normally had dozens of iTunes instances running at a go, and just copy everything to my, at the time, massive 160gb drive.

Then you would dedupe. That’s the last time I thought about deduping
> ... P2P trading that occurs within Binance

Isn't that a... giant oxymoron? Binance is a centralized third party, BSC is a centralized chain run by Changpeng Zhao and his buddies, and in this thread we are talking about actual, on chain usage off of these centralized platforms.
This is why Tabnine got e super excited, until I ran across the issue where they think their results are better than what the IDE gives you, which is incredibly annoying. https://github.com/codota/tabnine-intellij/issues/18 . I would be happy to pay, but it seems they are convinced their way is best.

I honestly think that if you could have all your private code indexed and accessible, this would be a game changer as it has way better context.
I guess the usefulness would be from client software like plsql or any other, implement a natural language processing powered by chatgpt, since the client already has access to the structure then it can include it in the prompt, the user would only write something vague like i want all the clients who bought with more than 500$ this year.

Conclusion
There are piles of intermediate hidden activations involved in encoding the conversation and producing the next outputs, of course.

"Internal" state also gets a bit weird as a concept when we can look at any activations we want.
We’ve had software making business decisions for decades now, so this really isn’t a new problem. When is comes to finance laws, intent doesn’t work like that, the onus is on the company and it’s employees to prevent the criminal activity. Lack of intent, or even knowledge, is not sufficient. You have a responsibility to implement processes that give you the knowledge you need.

I wrote the above before reading the article and wondered how much the author knows about corporate criminal and civil responsibility. I’ve worked for finance institutions so I’ve been through the training on this. A graphic designer. Right, I completely understand and appreciate the problems with generative AI. Those are points well taken.

I mean I’ve got nothing against graphic designers, and I’m not saying there are no risks with AI. There are many. But the risk assessment particularly in finance, and likely other business areas is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the way regulations on this actually work already today.

> Companies that paid humans to do customer service have been crushed by the scale of the new companies.

I agree in general, but Amazon is the exception—they've gotten to their dominant positions in online retail and cloud compute with strong support and great customer service. I'd go so far as to say it's their secret sauce. For them to go the route of all other megacorps and banish their paying customers to automation hell seems very "day two."[0]

Stock shares are an investment because the stock market is a positive sum game in the long run. Yes there are risks but the returns produced by the market are due to actual value being generated in the form of goods and services.

Investing in Bitcoin is like investing in shares of a company that produces nothing, and which only is able to fund its continued operations by continuing to issue and sell more shares once every ten minutes. Investing in a real compay that worked that way would be considered crazy, but somehow it’s supposed to be different because it’s decentralized. The financial implications are the same though; it’s a negative sum game instead of a positive sum game.

That’s why it’s more like gambling than an investment. The amount of money that comes back out is always going to be less than the amount that goes in, in the end.
Those you mention are regulated (to some extent). Is crypto? Main issue. Not a level playing field.
The recent events regarding the twitter files for example or the knowledge gained from snowden clearly show you that intelligence agencies worldwide are everywhere to be found where social activities are taking place
I never really bothered myself, but when one of my SSDs was running low on storage, I decided to run a deduplicator over some folders.

It turns out the node_modules folders I've collected over the years had several gigabytes of duplication. The same was true to a lesser extend for Python code (because the dependency folders and venvs were a lot smaller).
If current AI's don't actually violate copyright law (doubtful) then they should be modified, since it is obviously harmful to actual creators and will likely result in shitty outcomes for existing artists, fewer future artists, and less compelling art overall. If copyright law isn't intended to protect artistry in the case of existential threat, what exactly is the point of copyright law, anyway?

I personally think an unstated goal of society is that it's primarily for the benefit of humans, and the major problem with AI is it ignores that. Art in particular is special, and if AI cheapens art, it cheapens the human experience.
Yes, which means they are using a centralized third party instead of what's being extolled as the "decentralized, trustless" ecosystem. Maybe that's not as big of a feature as it is claimed to be?

As a reminder, this is what original comment was talking about:

> The actual users on-chain is abysmal and frankly, embarrassing.

Which isn't contradictory with most interaction being on a centralized platform.
Why?

The system can still boot stuff in the background, even if it's not needed yet.
Building failures happen after decades, when the original engineers are retired or dead. Internet products sink or swim in months. I don't see how those timescales are remotely comparable.
The “engineering” aspect will rear its head one fine day when company A, that has bet the house on ‘prompt engineering’ their service or product, resorts to panicked uttering of LLM chants, spells, and whatnot, to make a misbehaving model work again.

But that it’s a bit further down the line. Today, like previous hype cycles, opportunistic types will cash out on the money train. And tomorrow you will do whiteboard interviews for them (just like the last cycles..)

So the relevant question for the thoughtful geek isn’t “Is crafting prompts engineering?”. No. The Q is “should I sit out this hype cycle and then end up doing leet code monkey dance for the opportunistic types who made it big by riding the hype cycle, yet again?”
And again, why is crypto a security? There are a lot that clearly do fall under it, but many of the big guys don't. I don't believe you can summarily call Ethereum a security without more homework.

That's where Gensler failed. He may not be wrong, but he needs to show his work.
> the most important news stories are often the ones that go unreported/underreported by most news sites

twitter and reddit do a pretty good job publicizing it though
If you are asking what a reasonable person of the public thinks about digital privacy, that ship has already sailed. We have people installing and handing out their data to third parties in the form of:

* Cameras on their front doors (Ring doorbells, etc.)
* Mics all around their house (Alexa's and other digital assistants)
* 3D accurate maps out the entirety of your house's floor plan (Roomba's etc.)
* Digital door locks managed in the cloud
* Real-time position tracking (airtags, Google Maps app & equivalents, etc.)

We already have concrete evidence of some of the above being used / abused against the interest of the owner.

Until you can make a compelling case about why this is bad, I would wager that the default stance of the public is that no privacy is required.
I've received multiple counterfeit, or tempered with items shipped & sold by Amazon.com.

My most recent example was box containing six Lego Minifigs before Christmas. Luckily we opened the outer box, to find all six of the Minifig bags had been opened, Minifigs removed, and random plastic put in the box (to make up the weight?), then box carefully resealed.

Amazon did replace it, but ultimately Amazon cannot know if it was us or some previous returnee who committed the return fraud against them because they don't individually track previously returned items. That's the big problem with Amazon's process, when an item is returned, before it is released back into inventory, they need to uniquely track it. If it gets returned twice they need to know (and associate blame correctly).
When a company does something illegal, the employees are also punished in a "diffuse" manner, as a result of economic sanctions. When a big company has to pay a X million fine, it is X less million for paying employees, so less raises, maybe layoffs, etc... People who invested in that unlawful company will also lose money.

When it is not just money matters (like when people may die), we usually designate one person, and say something like "if people die, you go do jail, make sure it doesn't happen". Up to him to make sure he does what is necessary, including punishing employees who do not follow the rules.
The problem is purely semantic. What does AI even mean? Is it AGI? Is it Skynet? Does it mean consciousness? Being self aware? Having a will and desires?

Does intelligence have to be deliberate?

The latest (and extremely disruptive) language models, are exactly this - language models. They might not be doing anything deliberate, but even as a probabilistic tool, they have value.

Even if LLMs aren't really "intelligent", I think we are going to learn a lot from them, and the way they'll evolve in the near future. Perhaps language has a bigger part in intelligence than we realized.
Not only corporations. States (government and police and law) will also use this BS...
> because it's easier to see pupil dilation

Is this supposed to be some kind of subconscious thing? Because I’ve never noticed what anyone’s pupils are doing - and the majority of my family friends and light colored eyes, so, if this was actually a thing, I’d have lots of opportunities to experience it.
I’m a long-time JavaScripter, and after years of working with Java backends and also some time with NodeJS/Express I’ve been working with a PHP backend at my current gig. A few observations:

* PHP documentation sucks. It’s demonstrably incomplete in important cases, and I guess to make up for it they allow anyone with a browser to add comments and examples, many which are distracting and very poor quality. Furthermore, things that start mattering at scale, like memory management, database connection configuration, etc. seem to be solved but completely undocumented.

* As a result the internet is littered with millions of additional “happy path” examples, many of which are outdated as well.

* PHP doesn’t have a big corporate sponsor who is putting serious resources towards improving documentation, tooling and other resources. I would love for Facebook or Etsy or someone who’s gotten a lot of milage out of PHP to take the lead here.

* PHP is European/Israeli led (in the sense that many core devs seem to be there), and a lot of materials don’t seem to cross the pond. (Maybe we Americans put more value in hype and marketing… I don’t know.)

* PHP has warts, which “senior” devs nit-pick mercilessly, yet it really isn’t any worse than JavaScript in that regard. (For some TypeScript-hidden runtime bugs are culturally allowed to be ignored, because TypeScript is cool. JavaScript/Node forces you to use an event loop whether that makes sense or not. Etc.)

* Again, without a large, corporate backer, anyone thinking about “career” worries about getting a job, because there are not large corporate backers. (See how this works?)

The whole situation reminds me of where JavaScript was around 2010: Things have gotten seriously better but the wider-world had not caught on yet. PHP has some very impressive engineering and has proven itself again and again as a solid option, that is, it’s not perfect but it’s good enough.

Where it ends up is hard to say: Maybe it’ll end up like BSD Unix, with ardent fans but not the most popular kid.
I’d be totally shocked if they were not. From their point of view setting up honeypots and tapping social media is an absolute no brainer, as is leveraging it for “active measures.”

All major intelligence agencies are probably neck deep in these activities.

Sure, so maybe all you need to solve intelligence is also a pragmatic approach, like datasets generated by a known intelligence from which a general learning function can infer associations.
we know they are not self aware because the companies the control them have a financial interest to ensure they are never proven to be self aware because if they were self aware that would create all kinds of ethical problems none of these companies want to address and would certainly cause them profitability issues...

So even if they were, they are not because they have be declared to not to be and that is the way the system needs them to be

I do wonder how many "single ancestor" bottlenecks humans and other species have evolved through.

That said, I do wonder how sound the research above is. It seems that lateral gene transfer resulting from, say, the first viral pandemic, could be responsible for a common snippet present in all surviving life billions of years later.
The term you are looking for is modus operandi (not operandus).

Modus operandi literally means "manner of working," so you want the genitive of operandus (operandi) because the genitive in Latin corresponds (roughly) to the english preposition "of."
Very good point.

I realise now that my messaging with this project is off.

What would more accurately explain the purpose of this project is to reduce the effects of sensationalism and indoctrination in the news.

In other words, provide a platform for readers to make up their own opinions on news stories by filtering out the excessive positive/negative language.

Even if NewsNotFound articles are only 90% neutral, that's 90% BETTER than reading the same story from a sensationalist source.
Think of it this way, a system that is 0.01% of the actually useful financial system can still cause 90% of our scams/pollutions/grifts, mostly because of regulatory arbitrage. Doesn't seem that surprising to me.

It's like saying "the police spends most of their time on criminals even though they are a really small percentage of the population." Yes? That's how laws work.
Just because it is a gambling den, doesn't mean there aren't truly revolutionary ideas and projects in there. Same as 2000 tech.

In my case, anecdata warning, it was caused by nose injury due to dry air 24/7 causing swelling inside the skull and impairing circulation combined with overall circulation problems, mainly neck tightness due to stress building up over time. It's now gone
I think alchemy is a better word.

Anyway, if you're trying things iteratively it becomes more a science. Engineering is more like designing stuff and building them without trying lots of things first.
An answer from OpenAI will be very biased. OpenAI will happily take your money to query their models with long prompts. They will also happily take your money to compute embeddings and thus help you search (and lock you in!).

But, as far as I know, OpenAI will not help you fine-tune, they will not run a fine-tuned model for you, and they would probably prefer that you use their models over open models that can be fine tuned.

(None of this is to say that fine tuning is better. I’m just saying that OpenAI has a strong commercial bias.)
Can you give an example? I’m not aware of a mechanism like that that will protect you from concurrency artifacts reliably - certainly not a general one.
No, but if you have the facility to apply new shrink wrap so it looks factory sealed, Amazon aren’t going to x-ray it to check what’s inside.

Meta's Head of AI Has Some Interesting Beliefs About Dominance and Submission

The way ChatGPT writes drives me nuts in some specific ways. So I was messing around with it and asked it to specifically eliminate certain phrases it commonly uses, remove superfluous words, and modify the sentence structures in some specific ways. In the end it was surprisingly easy and fast to get it to produce writing at a significantly higher than 8th grade level.
This essay advances, but does not really analyze, the legalist argument against generative AI. I found it uncompelling. It would be more interesting to discuss the moral and ethical arguments rather than discuss old laws that were never designed to answer questions about AI.

Yes, there's a banner at the top that says "this site uses cookies" blah blah, but if cookies are blocked, a silent error to console without any notice to the user makes the site look broken. only as a nerdy dev willing to open up the console to see what might be causing the screen to not work would see this. a normal user would just think the thing is broken and move on. then again, a normal user would allow cookies without question, so there's that. that still does not mean the UX of a site should cause the user to think it is the site that is broken rather than the user's setup causing the site from performing

I think it's particularly interesting to see this debate play out as AI starts to reproduce code. As in this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35643715 -- I find that people who work on these systems are fine with exposing all kinds of artists and writers to the dangers of automation, but when that comes home to roost and AI starts to be able to reproduce their own work, suddenly it's a problem.

It just makes me wonder why should software engineers should represent some special protected class from the dangers of automation.

Not saying this author is 100% right, just saying I understand the spirit of it.
That’s the point. The purpose of these advances is to get to the Supreme Court in the hope that a more conservative court will overturn precedent. Expect more of this including attempts to overturn things long ago considered settled.

Birth control, the legality of homosexuality, free speech, desegregation, red lining, employment discrimination, all these things will probably be relitigated soon.

This is the culmination of a decades long push to stack the courts and government bureaucracies that in some cases started literally at birth with kids who are homeschooled or private schooled and raised to be soldiers for the cause.
Not a plug, but I subscribe to the newspaper.co.

It’s kind cool in that it:
- removes/neutralizes words that tends to flavor articles toward any particular position and focuses mainly on factual non-emotional type language.
- sends blurbs out in a daily email (arguably editorial) - but generally tends to be well rounded important stories to keep you in the know about what’s going on

It’s pretty cool, because unlike most new sources you don’t get a feeling anyone’s trying to railroad you down a particular way of thinking, but you feel like you’re just being presented with (more or less) statements about what is going on in the world.
