To me it shows how fundamental language is to intelligence.

Not just that LLMs are very capable by themselves, but significantly improve speech and image models.

We’ll need to break out of the Chomsky hierarchies and develop some new theories of language.

Vocal communication isn’t unique to humans, a new theory should be more broadly applicable to non human and non vocal languages.

I’m excited to see what big questions will be answered, and what new questions arise.
"On any Unix-derived system, a path is an admirably simple thing: if it starts with a /, it’s a path. Not so on Windows."

Then, the author goes on to explain that every path on Windows starts with "\\" instead. :)
We have more important problems to solve with sovereign funds. And I really do mean "we" this is my economy, I live here and vote, and I won't be voting for this use of funds against other Australian problems.

Now if ASPI circle around and ask for funding to make military tech onshore, for strategic upsides and jobs I'd reconsider. Start with the subs.

There is far too much "war with China is inevitable" ranting going on in Australia. It doesn't help that the main voice against is Keating, he's old and polarising.

Soft power lasts longer. Restart the Colombo model, fund tertiary education for people going back home in Asia pacific economies, build friends at scale.
The first embedded video has a bird airing its wings which reminds me of a bird that hangs out at the lake I bike around. I don't know if it is the same bird or not, but it stands on a stump and does the same thing. Every time I see, I wonder if it's standing there thinking to itself "I'm king of the world!!". The animal kingdom cracks me up, and I'm happy I get to spend time in my area enjoying it.
That's interesting. In my experience, I've somehow managed to score referrals despite daring to give less than 2 weeks notice and my previous bosses still recognize my investment in the company's success. It's rather amusing that the midwest isn't more forgiving when it comes to shorter notices, or that an employee is instantly branded as a "bridge-burner".
Thanks for posting your question!

Your understanding is accurate: the security advantages of using an OIDC provider stem primarily from them being big and from being closely tied to the ecosystem that’s hosting the associated code (like GitHub). For personal source code hosts, the threat model for a self-hosted IdP wouldn’t be much better than just using API tokens directly.

And yes, re: additional providers: each needs to be individually implemented by PyPI, since each has slightly different claim sets and trust conditions. It would be nice if there was something standard we could do here, but the underlying data model between different CI providers is too different.
exfat’s reliability “issues” are by design— it’s not journaled, to simplify implementation (and reduce resource use) on embedded devices and reduce wear on flash media.

It’s not a replacement for NTFS in applications where it’s already being used (large disks, anything where important data is being stored). Rather, it’s a modernized replacement for FAT32 for things like camera memory cards, eliminating some of FAT32’s limitations (like the file size limit) while remaining similarly lightweight.
Just be cognisant that it is entirely optional to care. And it is a free choice to care in whichever way you want (you might simply have a preferred supermarket tea brand).

>Once AI systems can outperform CEOs, investors and boards will insist they be in charge.

If it comes to AIs replacing CEOs and boards, those in power will change the rules so they can't be replaced. Who do you think influenced the laws for corporate governance? The public?

I work for Indeed; I take ~8w/year of PTO. No one bats an eye.
The problem is that at the inter-governmental scale of civilization, it’s essentially Stone Age tribalism. Survival of the fittest. As such, countries like the US and China are incentivized to disregard AI ethics in the interest of self preservation.

Mankind wins reality if we can install an AI as a one world order system with lasting world peace. It genuinely doesn’t matter if it is a communist or capitalist invented system, it just needs to out-function our current paradigm of warring to maintain status quo.

Mankind loses reality if we build genocidal AI death systems.

How often do most people physically see CEOs, though?

For most purposes maybe it's enough to project charisma in a video.

An AI CEO might also be capable of superhuman "interpersonal" feats like "personally" answering every letter, phone call or complaint.
The exciting news is that we're probably heading into another one of these terrifying periods: between Russia's aggression, growing conflict with China, accelerating climate change, and potentially catastrophic effects from AI. If we survive, whole new generations will have a lot of vivid memories to look back on.
I agree, but I would call it a game or perhaps a dance. One full of contradictions, for sure. But one we can direct to Harmony, as well. Gratuity, for instance, is expanding.

Who better than an AI to 'ride' an AI? AI will be the game master, in role-playing games terms.
Talk so someone with aphasia or other brain disorder, or talk to a neurologist about it, and you'll see that's not quite the case. There really does seem to be a probability of saying TV when you meant to say "your mother", it's just that the language centers of our brains don't consciously calculate your probabilities and present them to our conscious mind.

But… it doesn’t work on my phone. The author even warned me at the top of the page. I didn’t believe him. I tried it on my phone. It didn’t work.
I faked it until people believed I knew what I was doing. I had just finished school (and grad school), so I wasn't going back for another degree in engineering or design. I felt lucky to not be working at a deli or a call center, which had been my previous jobs. I spent a lot of nights and weekends trying to get things right, while making it look like it was easy. Eventually it did get easier, like with all skills.

I tell people that design is a form of engineering. Like engineering, it's about finding the optimal solution given a set of requirements and constraints. Nobody believes me, but I don't really see that there is a meaningful difference beyond the tool set. The hardest thing about design is that you cannot automatically validate it, or write unit tests, or do static analysis. You have to try it out, and be willing to look stupid, then iterate on it as soon and as often as you can.

The main qualifications for being a designer are that you can imagine the process from the perspective of someone who isn't you, and that you give a shit about it being right for them. I've worked with a lot of front end developers who are good programmers, but don't give a shit about getting it right. When I did both design and development, I think that was my main advantage, and why I eventually got pretty good at it.
Yeah, I largely agree; I’m not retired (only in my 30s), but I think for the part time work that I am doing (6 teaching hours a week), I am actually paid reasonably enough. It does bother me that full time professors (tenured or not) are getting paid less than half of what they could easily get in industry though.

CQL to me is just another SQL dialect, databases all have different, incompatible dialects. And on top of that, it's not like SQL is a highly productive programming language anyway, it's a pretty hard to use language for anything that's even slightly more complicated. I don't really see where this x10-x100 more productiveness would come from compared to scylla APIs which are just another form of SQL dialect so it isn't that different. Sure I can't write e.g (recursive)CTEs or repeating events in Scylladb but then: do I really want them anyway? wouldn't it be better anyway if I write everything as a set of simple queries? Wouldn't it be better anyway if instead of an event on an interval in SQL, I'd just run a simple SQL query in a background thread from my application on an interval?

None of the proposed fusion reactors are suitable for getting off the planet. They will be too heavy. And won’t produce plasma jets.

Who cares? America's progress came from Anglicization. The Brits invented the steam engine, the locomotive, and the electric generator. Then the Americans took those ideas and ran with them.

... now, China's running with the generation of ideas America pioneered and refined, and America's mostly playing catchup because they're off the rails (tragically literally, if you live in East Palestine, OH).
>Corporations have rights because they are owned by humans and those humans have rights.

One does not really follow from another. Washing machines are also "owned by humans" but they don't get rights.

>Corporations are just a convenient way to do things together, like conduct a business and own property. Corporate personhood is just a legal abstraction to represent those peoples’ rights, a facade pattern that lets multi-person groups neatly fit in existing laws that might discuss individuals.

Doesn't really follow either. Why would it need to be "corporate personhood" and not just a "corporate law"? Why did "personhood" have to enter the picture?
That is typical and is an editor's decision based on the coverage area of the paper and a judgment of the notability of the subject. It applies to individuals, too, like in this article. It likely wouldn't have been a decision by the journalist.

So where is the smoking gun about huawei? We hacked their servers in 2014 so where is the public evidence they're evil / in bed with the CCP?
emergent behavior does happen with neural networks. It is correct to say that GPT 4 doesn't do math correctly, but it may be incorrect to say a large language model can't in principle.
100% my thoughts as well.
There is also the persistent problem of USB serial adapters being assigned incremental numbers until they're in double digits that many tools don't let you select from their GUI. So you have to go in and manually purge those devices to get back to sane numbering.

I'm not sure that's as clear cut as you make it sound.

For example curiocity could be a fine engine for motivation as well, even if you don't care if you'll survive or not.
Pretty sure there isn’t an ext4 spec, it’s just the reference implementation. Microsoft could build something that is compatible, but keeping compatibility as the reference implementation changes may not be straightforward.
For all lazy matcha makers, I’d recommend getting a milk frother: it heats up water and also mixes matcha powder. For those who like matcha lattes, I think it’s even more essential as frothing milk makes it more sweet and fluffy.

How in the world does a submarine going at < 40 mph not detect that it's running into a mountain? Why are light, radar, and sonar still not enough to detect obstacles that big?
For machine learning stuff like that you would be much better off with something that has a GPU.

Regardless of how you feel about crypto, if you're at all familiar with law you'd understand that we're simply in uncharted territory here; saying that crypto is super dirty and non-compliant is quite literally as inaccurate as saying that it's super clean and fully in-line. The law simply isn't there yet.

More likely Microsoft doesn't want its OS features to be controlled by a third party. The issues with using ZFS in Linux stem from the GPL. Neither Windows nor MacOS are affected.
exactly zero of those things break backwards compatibility.

programs written using ANY of those technologies run on Windows 11 unmodified, and they will for Windows 12, too.

backwards compatibility means new OS versions can run programs written for older OS versions.

backwards compatibility promises do not prevent you from coming up with new ways to write programs.
How is it a gross mischaracterization? You get master master multi regional replication out of the box with cassandra, and github spent an inordinate amount of engineering effort to unsuccessfully slap that on top of MySql.
Only in a very anthropocentric sense. How do we know an ant colony doesn’t reason abstractly (or a human town for that matter)? What about slime mold or ameba? Both can solve a maze as well as humans. What makes you think a forest ecosystem isn’t capable of abstract though?

It is only if we narrow thought to mean precisely human-like thought when humans and human creations are uniquely capable of something. To that extent, our models of intelligence is very much in the pre-copernican era.
No, not really. It only supports "normal" win32 paths. You would have to mount it to a drive letter or directory.

those who become professors typically forgo vastly higher salaries in industry

I don't think this is generally true. I can think of a few cases of tenured faculty who could earn 10x their salary in private consulting but in my opinion it's generally not true. I think a good comparison would be to look at the average salary of something like Microsoft Research employees who are PhDs versus the average salary of tenured faculty of Computer Sciences at a highly ranked school like UT Austin. I suspect it won't be substantially different (based on job offers I have seen).

Although I don't know what a vastly higher salary means here, I suspect that the largest entrants in private industry for quantum computing would not pay vastly higher salaries than Scott Aaronson's ~$270K for work in that field.
it turns out "it's just memes, bro" is a poor defense against Conspiracy Against Rights charges.

> Have you never seen people post "Vote early, vote often"? It's the same as that.

If you are aware of an instance of someone being convicted by a jury of their peers of Conspiracy Against Rights for sharing "vote early, vote often," be sure to let us know.
>There is no soul, creativity or inspiration. There's only (very complex) agency.

That's highly debatable. For starters, who said there's no creativity or inspiration in humans, or for that matter, that there can't be in a complex A.I.?

How we achieve that creativity or inspiration is irreleant, as long the entity (human or AI) showcases creativity and inspiration.

Nor is it much clear why all being "only (a very complex) agency" would preclude creativity and inspiration.

That's like a worse version of "a human can't be creative or have feelings because it's all a bunch of molecules".

There is such a thing as emergent properties.

>And that's completely fine.

That's also highly debatable. I mean, that it would be "completely fine" if you were right and there wasn't "creativity of inspiration".
Once you get tenure you still need to make full professor. The bar there is that you have to have made a name for yourself, and that doesn’t happen if you hibernate.

> the average person doesn't care too much about inflation is that he has more debt than assets

What the average person forgets is that some people (and businesses) have wayyyyyy more debt, so when it gets diluted, they're a net loser on average.

Kinda like getting a $1000 stimmy cheque while large capital owners gets their equity saved by government bailout money. Everybody wins something, but winning last place isn't a win when no real wealth was created.

>We’ll need to break out of the Chomsky hierarchies and develop some new theories of language.

We might need to develop some "new theories of language", covering other areas, but why exactly do you think we'd need to "break out of the Chomsky hierarchies"?

Nothing about LLMs challenges Chomsky hierarchies.

They do challenge Chomsky's ideas about language being an innate human quality, but that's about it. Besides that's not related to the Chomsky hierarchy of language, e.g. regular, context-free and so on. Those will continue to remain a hierarchy describing languages based on capability levels, whether there's AI, and AGI, or not.
The Securities Act and the Exchange Act give the SEC broad latitude in regulating securities. The fundamental question is: is Bitcoin a security?
