My reading of that claim is 10 out of 10 people laid off were from marginalized groups. Not 20% of 10.

> Approximately 20% of the company was laid off, and to the best of my knowledge 100% of them were members of historically marginalized groups. Women, people of color, queer folks, and multiple people on disability and even maternity leave were specifically and disproportionately targeted.

What is the desired end game supposed to be, of successive "clean" debt ceiling hikes? How much longer should we be spending money we don't have—enough to make inflation even worse? Enough that nobody will lend to us anymore and default is forced? What's the plan here?
So every adult site has 65% globalized porn, 35% Canadian cat videos.

Are you seriously arguing correlation equals causality? You don't think maybe you have the cause backwards? People desired guaranteed health care in 1968 because in 1968 there was expensive health care worth desiring?

Agreed. Another much needed example would be nationwide reciprocity for concealed carry firearms. It’s too easy to be on the wrong side of the law when crossing state lines and the regulatory nuances are difficult to understand state to state.
> If the US healthcare market isn't capitalist, then no country's healthcare system is.

Yes.

That said, developing countries are most likely to have one. If the government caps the number of doctors and hospitals in the country, like the US does with residencies and certificate of need laws, it's not very market-driven.
A Cautionary Tale: The Ingenious Scholarship Scam in Mexico City
We need a messiah. Humanity has huge problems that we are not addressing (top of the list being climate change), largely because it would require massive scale societal disruption to do so. Over the past 50 years, we've thought that personal computers would help (bicycles for the mind), then we thought the internet would help (organizing the world's information), then we thought social networks would help (connecting the world's people). AI is our current best hope to disrupt humanity's trajectory straight off a cliff. The aim seems to be to accelerate this sucker and hope that this time it'll save us.

Edit: I'm not saying I agree with this notion, I'm just articulating the subconscious desire here. The parent's question was literally, "what's the endgame?"
Ah yes. Solving broken systems with little legitimate use by building ever more complicated solutions.

Just wait until we have a model that automatically translates vague, awkward prompts into something more useful.

> I merely stated that there’s a competition in resources between the two.

But why compare/contrast those two? They're both health care, after all. There's competition in resources between all specialties. Why is contrasting those two particular ones worthwhile as opposed to say, stating there's a competition between oncologists and gastroenterologists?

I re-read the post. The author is arguing against a statement that no one made and then uses the rest of the essay to outline their work. It is a bit of a setup.

As frob said, given the size of the company and the statistic they gave that 20% of the company was laid off. The company laid off at least 10 people, and as she said in the article, they were ALL minorities. This feels statistically unlikely to be random chance.
“ChatGPT 4.0 is much more... scary!”

Yup. As an American, I found it quite easy to navigate transit systems every time I visited Germany; most recently Berlin. Especially these days with things like Google/Apple maps transit directions that work more-or-less flawlessly. But maybe it's because I'm used to systems like Caltrain that don't even have a functioning app, and which just randomly cancel trains for huge chunks of the day, or BART, which has an even-more-insane pay-per-distance system than anything I've seen elsewhere.
Read my parallel comment — that wasn’t the reason for excluding non-residents from that one park. It was about the selfish argument made by Los Altos city council.

The segregation argument was a good one, but not for the reason you cite. Because of prior segregation, the population of PA is still lopsided, and that meant a resident-only park had an unfair bias.

After a bit of a rush when the restriction was dropped, it settled back to its normal quiet state. In reality there was de facto no restriction: the entry gate was rarely staffed and you could always enter through Arastradero Park which, like all the other parks in Palo Alto, has no restrictions at all.
The point of the paperclip optimizer hypothetical is to look at a way that a superintelligence could work against humanity despite following a simple instruction that we’ve given it. You can imagine another type of runaway superintelligence if you want, it just wouldn’t be this one.
That's a great question.

That's not just roughly accurate, that's exactly accurate.

I don't see Elijah or Moses as perfect either.

Jehovah chastised Moses at the burning bush for saying that he was not a good speaker and not having faith that the Lord could make him a great speaker.

He also corrects Elijah in 1 Kings 19 when Elijah says that only he is left. The Lord says that there are more. He also teaches Elijah about Himself, so obviously Elijah didn't know everything.

Also, Elijah was prone to outbursts, kind of like how Peter the Apostle was impulsive.

No, prophets are not perfect. But we listen to them anyway. Or should.
former US submariner here:

* forward-facing sonar is always being used at all times while a submarine is underway

* however, the sonar that's always used is passive, and since mountains don't move, passive sonar doesn't find them

* active sonar could theoretically be used, but the risk of communicating a submarine's position relative to the chance that you'd hit an underwater mountain is balanced strongly on the side of running silent.

I don't think the Fed is "government" in the 4th amendment sense that it can just get information about you without a warrant, is it?

In an unrelated law, this is the reason child abuse reports from ISPs go to a private company called NCMEC. It's so law enforcement won't have automatically have access to private data in the reports without legal process.
Solving natural language understanding tasks requires reasoning, by definition. I think you are sticking to a narrow definition of reasoning that is not very technical. Formally there are many types of reasoning in AI.

Automated website translation software will sometimes try to translate dates into ‘English’ so 04.01.2023 becomes 01/04/2023.

I can see a time where it‘ll start trying to do the same for other units and the large numbers of metric using English-speakers will have to put up with 1600 km being translated to 1000 miles.
Clemency seems like the correct remedy here. The court only interprets the law as it is written. The system has a failsafe for this situation. Clemency is that failsafe.

This is yet another example of why legislatures need to eliminate capital punishment. It's something we have to get right 100% of the time, and that is impossible.

Whether wrong or right, the proportion of fake text/art will grow vastly, on top of a world I think maybe people already see as increasingly fake or unauthentic.

The internet so far in its history has been mostly a free open place. However now that AI has the capability of being an apex spambot and of flooding the internet with more unauthenticity, I wonder if people will start to seek _exclusive_ corners of the internet/society, as opposed to the current trend of maximum inclusivity/openness.

The value of the internet largely comes from its openness, however if people start to really crave authenticity, then I imagine the internet will become a more closed off place.

You need the victim to press "trust this computer" or similar on their phone display, unless you have a zero day vulnerability up your sleeve.

If you let the phone display the prompt, you might infect a couple people but somebody will soon tell the shop staff, or even the police.

If you have a zero day then you are probably targeting some particular people, let's say diplomats, protestors or attendees of an important international conference. The chances of the average person being a victim of these attacks because they charged their phone at a cafe are negligible.

This is just the court following the law Oklahoma has enacted, which does not give it the power to act here. It's not forcing anything—it's doing the nothing it's empowered to do. If Oklahoma wants its court to have the power to grant relief, it can change its law. (Or better, just get rid of the death penalty entirely.)

The statute in question ([0] – see (D)(8)) says the court may not consider the merits or grant relief unless there are facts or legal rationales that could not have been raised earlier. The court isn't empowered to do something just because two parties agree.

Also, the governor can commute the sentence, as he did for Julius Jones.

> forced Canadian content

To me this is completely bizarre, not unlike old soviet censors looking at movies and deciding what was “soviet enough” to get the approval from the bureaucracy.

Disney and Marvel made billions of dollars simply making content people want to watch and pay for, why not simply do the same and compete in the marketplace? Imagine how ridiculous it would be if there were quotas on iPhone sold so that BlackBerry still had a legally mandated market share.
"Helping the environment" does not just begin and end at banning things.

I would accept that logic from a well meaning child, but not a serious adult.

The obvious questions to any reasonable person would be, how much does this actually help the environment, what alternatives are there, and what might be the consequences of doing this. Banning straws never even got close to having good answers to any of these, and yet you were a dumb greedy redneck who hated the environment for pointing it out.

It's clear where the value for this came from, and that was as a tool to bash political opponents with.

Do you really not examine costs and benefits when you think about what motivates people?

My understanding was that the author refers to "peers" as males in the same role, i.e., the arguments are made differently for people not based on their role, but based on their sex. They even reference specific arguments applied in opposite ways in the part you cite.
I dunno, I think his point is very valid. Chat bots can't do literally anything at all, and an empty text input isn't going to help guide a user towards what it can do, and what it's good at. Just because a system has a LLM to interact with it, doesn't mean it'll suddenly support any desired action the user wants done.

If you are interested in the Swiss system:

If you want to see open positions for the system you can see here (not in English):

https://www.ezivi.admin.ch/ivy/faces/instances/eZIVI/PublikB...

You can search for different keywords to find open positions. For me personally I worked in:

- Hospital as a Programmer (they made position for me)

- In another hospital as Technician (hanging up stuff, changing light-bulls, assessing damage, configuring doors and so on)

- Old people home, I worked for in technical service, including garden work.

- Old people home, I also worked as a cleaner, mostly windows, floors and so on.

In the hospital you can also work as a bed mover for example. You can work directly in old people care and things.

In general there are 100s of position, some position are even going with international aid organization to other countries. A friend of mine did his in archeology departments digging up old stuff. Another friends simply did farm work with a mountain farmer, that's the easiest to get (he in fact simply was to lazy to get a job so they assigned him to a farmer).

> When you use ChatGPT in that way, you'll get useless generic answers. It seems to shine specifically when being more specific, detailed, which also suggests users are willing and able (education level) to give such rich input.

Sidenote, i've found GPT useful enough to pay for (GPT Plus) by doing the opposite. Or rather, i find it very useful when i struggle to search for problems. ChatGPT helps guide me to new search or research terms, sometimes even providing the answer more directly.

It feels like the olden days where Google was great at finding a movie based on some vague movie description. GPT does that for a ton of things for me, enough that i found it useful.

It hasn't replaced online research but it has accelerated it for me.
That could help, and modifying landing fees might be a good way to do this. Currently I believe landing fees are proportional to size/weight which doesn't make a lot of sense since a small regional jet takes just as much space in the ATC system and nearly as much space in the terminal as an A320.
