This tweet is not at all in line with the article. From the article:

> Dr. Hinton said he has quit his job at Google, where he has worked for more than decade and became one of the most respected voices in the field, so he can freely speak out about the risks of A.I. A part of him, he said, now regrets his life’s work.

> Dr. Hinton, often called “the Godfather of A.I.,” did not sign either of those letters and said he did not want to publicly criticize Google or other companies until he had quit his job.

As Hinton says in his tweet, this clearly implies that he left to be free to criticize Google.

And the following quote is not really consistent with the other part of Hinton's tweet, that "Google has acted very responsibly":

> Until last year, he said, Google acted as a “proper steward” for the technology, careful not to release something that might cause harm. But now that Microsoft has augmented its Bing search engine with a chatbot — challenging Google’s core business — Google is racing to deploy the same kind of technology. The tech giants are locked in a competition that might be impossible to stop, Dr. Hinton said.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/Wylderbuilds is a place I've used in the past. They sell parts and completed keyboards, but also have a link out to github with their modifications, at https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard. The whole dactyl space is definitely a rabbit hole, though.
I used to share this sentiment for Parkinsons and other currently-intractable conditions. I still do sometimes, depending on the circumstances of the patient in question.

But the thing that stopped me generalising this was seeing second-hand that trialing a new treatment can be extraordinarily dangerous (and/or fatal).

Imagine being in the experiment group and the untested treatment being a catastrophic failure.
Yes, ventilation causes heat losses, but it is necessary.

There are ways around it though. The simplest is to not make sure ventilation goes where it needs to go. Modern buildings use mechanical ventilation to make sure every living space gets properly ventilated so one room doesn't get too much and another too little. Even better, some building use heat exchangers to heat/cool the incoming air with outgoing air, minimizing losses. Other techniques involve passing the fresh air underground, which, in a temperate climate gets you some free heating in the winter and free cooling in the summer.

Obviously, to limit heat losses, you want to reduce conduction and radiation too, which can be done without sacrificing ventilation.
For cash transactions, I believe anything over $600 is supposed to be reported now. The limit used to be $10k but was raised recently.

With credit cards, the government shouldn't know as they shouldn't be involved, but they almost certainly do because overreach. Congress could always pass a law to block that or an individual could sue and claim something similar to illegal search. As soon as the government is the bank there's no way to bifricate the two, the deal is done.
Is is Microsoft's fault that they don't have any competent competition? It's not like they somehow squeezed Stadia out of the market...

There are 3. Safari is distinct from Chrome these days (even though they are derived from a common base). The fact that you consider them the same is evidence of what I'm saying: that differences in rendering between browsers tend to be minimal these days :)
Microsoft is certainly a legal persona with many of the same rights and tools as a regular citizen would have and oftentimes more, unfortunately.
110k Stadia which felt like most popular "Cloud" gaming? but let's assume that Nvidia also has something similar

So let's say 250k cloud gaming, meanwhile "gaming" as a whole is like bilions of users

Thus this Cloud gaming is basically non-existent.

I'd much rather have the information in front of me so I can evaluate it and make my own determinations. If the parent commenter had their way I would've never seen this information. Now I can actually vet it out and do my own research.

There was also Comanche: Maximum Overkill, one of the first voxel-based games, quite impressive for 1992!

The problem is the lack of incentives to take the “huh that’s interesting, but I don’t know if I can trust it because it’s published in a quack journal” … and ever reproduce the research and get it into more trusted more prestigious journals.

There’s a reproducibility crisis in many fields of research, and medical research has multiple confounding factors, the “no prestige in just redoing the research”, lack of money for trying things that might fail to generate RoI for pharmaceutical companies, and the general medical research problems of clinical trails and ethics review and all the other stuff involved in good quality medical research.

Consequently this stuff gets thrown in the quackery bucket and ignored. It’s frustrating to see things that won’t hurt anyone to try again and properly debunk or expand the evidence for, winding up in an ideological trench war where the outcome is getting to enter round two of the “funding your actual research” trench war.

> In California and Wisconsin, OpenAI’s “GPT” generative artificial intelligence is reading patient messages and drafting responses from their doctors. The operation is part of a pilot program in which three health systems test if the AI will cut the time that medical staff spend replying to patients’ online inquiries.

> UC San Diego Health and UW Health began testing the tool in April. Stanford Health Care aims to join the rollout early next week. Altogether, about two dozen healthcare staff are piloting this tool.

> Marlene Millen, a primary care physician at UC San Diego Health who is helping lead the AI test, has been testing GPT in her inbox for about a week. Early AI-generated responses needed heavy editing, she said, and her team has been working to improve the replies. They are also adding a kind of bedside manner: If a patient mentioned returning from a trip, the draft could include a line that asked if their travels went well. “It gives the human touch that we would,” Dr. Millen said.

> There is preliminary data that suggests AI could add value. ChatGPT scored better than real doctors at responding to patient queries posted online, according to a study published Friday[0][1] in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, in which a panel of doctors did blind evaluations of posts.

The question asked in the article is: is it worth taking this as a side job? If you include the EITC you'd have to factor in the income limits associated with the credit, i.e., that earning more money could actually cost you by making you ineligible. So that's probably more confusing than it's worth.

This is a characteristic "Aromatic" hydrocarbon, a fairly strong solvent that has long been used as a paint thinner and paint remover for some kinds of paints.

Also the solvent for the "permanent" pigment in the original Magic Markers felt-tip markers which were about the only felt-tips familiar to consumers 60 years ago. It's got that certain smell as the xylene evaporates.

>exposure between 200 and 500 ppm, symptoms can include feeling "high", dizziness, weakness, irritability, vomiting, and slowed reaction time.

Which is why parents would never let kids use any markers at all back then.

Not really, they just didn't want kids writing on walls with permanent ink :/

It requires re-working the financial system from the ground up, and commitment to that new vision, because there isn't a graceful way to ease from fractional reserve to narrow banking or public accounts at the Fed, and there isn't a simple way back to our status quo from it.
First, the trustlessness in crypto, it is just a nice keyword. You trust the protocol and the protocol trust depends on specific nodes (e.g. miners). Would you trust more these actors that hundreds of well known companies using a BFT protocol? Or a mix of both groups?

Second, key(s) custody is paramount beyond the blockchain technology used. And... this was very basic:

It’s funny that people still don’t understand taxes and any time I see someone complaining about “take home” being below minimum wage, I tune out.

There’s no way to legislate minimum take home pay.

I feel empathy for people making this discovery for the first, or tenth time. But waiter jobs in general pay pretty low and the minimum wage for server jobs is harder to compare because of the tips aspect.
In fact, it used to be something like 15% before taxes as a rule of thumb. It's ooched up to something like 18% minimum (on POS terminals) inclusive of taxes and whatever additional fees are added in some jurisdictions.

MIT Technology Review just published a short article partly derived from the NYT piece, but with other commentary and history references.

At the end of it, it reads a bit like a covert ad for MIT:s conference (which has apparently booked Hinton for an interview on Wednesday). But all in all, maybe it's better journalism than the Metz text?
You did not, in fact, stumble upon information. You stumbled on a person making statements. There’s a difference, especially when lives are at stake.

The Victorian-era sewage systems described in this article are actually one of the key reasons that sewage is ending up in rivers and the sea in the first place. Notice how they worked: sewage was collected, pumped, and dumped downstream of London. It was not treated. Most of the UK's sewage treatment is retrofitted to sewage systems that were never designed to have it. This causes various problems, the main one being that rainwater drainage and sewage are mixed in many areas and this overwhelms the sewage system during heavy rain.

(As for why it became a key election issue, well, basically the British press lied to make it one - the BBC included. They made an increase in monitoring of sewage discharges look like a massive increase in sewage discharged whilst tricking people into thinking monitoring had got worse by deceptively-worded articles about the few overflows that weren't monitored yet, they told people the Environmental Agency was lying about only recently being able to measure the full extent of sewage discharges based on a hnadful of previously-recorded incidents, they claimed other European countries which still had Victorian-esque sewage systems with no treatment plants that just pumped directly into their rivers and seas in some urban areas were doing a better job, and so on.)
But Microsoft has the upper hand in the cloud gaming industry according to CMA. Apparently Xbox Cloud has 60-70% of the market share. Activision Blizzard acquisition would only strengthen Microsoft's position and would not improve competition.
Yes, and then it's just very efficiently automated (to an implausible degree, even) and certainly not dead, as I said in my post.

This at least makes more sense than what I read, and explains what might actually have happened :)
That's a really good point! I like that.
This is the status quo at the moment. The days of strong, robust third-party clients for a service that don't get squashed by said service are on the long tail at the moment. They figured out that they can monetize users, and thus third-party clients eat into that revenue. Thus the idea of "approving" third-party clients exists.

I miss the heyday of programs like Trillian.
Potentially. Confessing to a 5-0 during an interrogation is different from entering a plea of guilty or not guilty.

But given that you just confessed guilt, a not guilty plea is going to raise eyebrows and potentially end badly.

If you read the report then the CMA comes across terribly. They don't understand basic technical facts. Apparently a competitor to Microsoft told the CMA that they solved latency issues with cloud gaming by increasing GPU power. Someone should alert the nobel prize committee about conquering the speed of light.

They make other bizarre claims like apparently everyone that subscribes to xbox game pass does so for cloud gaming. Cloud gaming isn't even offered in most markets. There is no way people are subscribing to game pass for cloud gaming, its not even good.

Its obvious to anyone with a brain that peer-to-peer is the way forward with game streaming because it solves the latency problems.
When in doubt, just throw the kitchen sink at the problem.

> Whereas nukes cannot invent more powerful nukes, ai can make exponentially more powerful ai.

This is dumb and lacks basic education. No, ai cannot make an exponentially more powerful AI.

Humans, however can use AI as tool to create a more powerful AI. But that would not be different from humans crating first nukes with enriched uranium, and then using that uranium to create plutonium for even bigger nukes, and then figuring out that this plutonium could be used as a mere activator for even more devastating thermonukes.
Yes, and they are fixed regardless of your wage. As a FAANG employee, they are negligible in the grand scheme of things; but as a minimum wage worker, they will meaningfully eat into your earned income.

I'm not sure I would call it orderly so far.

SVB failed so quickly the Fed couldn't go through their usual process. The Fed had to throw out the rules and effectively stare that FDIC limits don't matter and all deposits are fully insured.

They were then so concerned about First Republic failing quickly after SVB that they in all likelyhood helped orchestrate a $30B deposit by major banks to help provide liquidity. That move is extremely odd and really looks a lot like market manipulation and collusion. They also must have known that was a short term measure to delay the failure until they could let the smoke clear and find a buyer, banks would have provided First Republic loans or invested in the bank if they had any faith in it's long term viability, depositing cash is just a show of force.
You are mostly correct. The largest retail banks in China are SOEs, so called State Owned Enterprises. However while these banks are the backbone of the retail banking sector the rural banks and investment banks are increasingly more relevant when doing business in China because the state owned banks are very risk adverse and operate with gigantic capital reserves. It's an interesting system because it basically insulates the retail banking sector from any and all shenanigans however has led to explosion of risk in the private sector. China has been trying to pare back this risk and leverage of the financial sector for over 10 years but every time they start some global crisis starts and they have to stop.

> 60-70% of global cloud gaming services

Their point is that cloud gaming is likely way less than 1%, maybe even 0.01% of any gaming activity. The cloud gaming experience still isn't 100% there in terms of latency, so it only makes sense to play single player games, and then most people who have an xbox just use their existing hardware rather than pay Microsoft to play it remotely.
The CMAs rationale is definitely not bizarre and is in line with how UK regulators operate.

They tend to look far further into the future and are very much risk averse since they know that their powers are diminished when it comes to managing monopolies than preventing them emerging in the first place.

Yes Cloud Gaming and GAAS is very much a meme still but what about 10 or 20 years down the line?

Microsoft currently owns 70% of that market through the Xbox Pass.

They are also the 2nd largest CSP which means they have the tech and infrastructure to deliver these services anywhere without being dependent on any one.

With this deal they’ll also become true 3rd largest publisher and by sheer IP clout possibly even the biggest.

The argument that the CMA makes is basically that they already have a massive first mover advantage and unlikes the likes of Sony, Valve and Epic they also have their own cloud infrastructure to deliver these services without having to make deals with anyone else.
If they’ll also have a massive library of IP and titles that would give them even a larger advantage over other competitors.

The logic behind the CMA’s decision is that this would give Microsoft a natural monopoly in cloud gaming which is hard to argue against. Arguing that it might not be that important is possible but it’s an argument that is very hard to actually back up with any substance since it’s all hypothetical.
Microsoft have in 2021 the 60-70% of global cloud gaming services representing 1-3% of the gaming industry. Is true that this number have been growing, but anyway the reasons that are using is backed by the idea that ultimately the Cloud Gaming Services will take over all the industry. But this is just especulation, and probably even if this is true this would happen even without Microsoft buying Activision.
