We can be certain of this by 1) looking at the structure of these engines, 2) looking at the kinds of errors that they make, and 3) looking at their learning methods.

The engines are basically indexes of common associations, maps of frequency of occurrence. Regurgitating a bunch of stuff that has a high correlation to your input is NOT intelligence, it is the result of having an insanely large map. This can often produce impressive and useful results, but it is not intelligence or wielding concepts.

For errors, the image generators provide some of the best illustrations. They produce images most associated with the inputs. One error illustrates this very well, asked to produce an image of a woman sitting on a sailboat, the bikini-clad woman looks great, until you see it — her face and torso are facing mostly towards the camera, but also, her buttocks are facing the camera and legs sitting pointing away from us. No intelligent person or concept-wielding "AI" would produce such an error - it'd know the relationships with head, torso, buttocks and legs. These don't. Another telling type of error is when asked to produce an image of Person X on a new background, when the training set had only a handful of images of Person X. It cannot do it - it returns essentially one of the full training images, with no new background. There is obviously zero concept of what a person is, or what the boundaries of a human shape would be. They can only produce these results with hundreds of thousands of images, so what is built up is the set of things that match or don't match the label (e.g., "astronaut" or "Barack Obama".), so that the actual images are statistically separated from the thousands of backgrounds.

Which brings us to how they learn. Intelligent beings from worms to humans learn and abstract on incredibly small data sets. By the time a child can use a crayon, having seen only hundreds of humans, s/he can separate out what is a human from the background (might not make a good drawing yet, but knows the difference). Show a child a single new thing, and s/he will separate it from the background immediately. In contrast, these LLMs and GANs require input of nearly the entire corpus of human knowledge, and can only some of the time output something resembling the right thing.

It is entirely different from intelligence (which is not to say it isn't often useful). But the more I learn about how they work and are built, the less I'm worried about this entire generation of machines. It is no more cause for worry than an observation 25 years ago that Google could do the work of 10000 librarian person-hours in 0.83 seconds. Great stuff, changes values of some types of work, but not an existential threat.

From the TMK ADB to USB faq:

On ADB Standard keyboards(M0116) left and right corresponding modifiers are logically indentical and can not be discriminated one another by the converter. This is ADB keyboard limitation, not converter's. Apple Extended keyboard(M0115/M3501) can discriminate them except for 'Command' key.
In old usenet/forum-speak, to "necro" a thread meant to bring it back from the dead, they're probably playing off this meaning.
Mind that as of Netscape Communicator 4, we're speaking of August, 1997… (So a it was a somewhat different situation when this was conceived. As I recall it, a personal certificate bound to a single email address was the cheapest and easiest to obtain back then.)
Everything changes everything in the body all the time. We only care about when things change in certain ways for certain endpoints to certain degrees.

So, what are some hard health outcomes we can measure? What does the literature say about them as isoflavones are increased? Anything significant?

For example, does erection strength decrease when men eat 300g of edamame daily or something? Show me something.

I have the same questions about meat and dairy. Google "meat estrogenic" and "dairy estrogenic". I don't consume either so I haven't cared to read them but you can find papers talking about it. Without looking further, you can't tell if it's something you should care about or not.
Sure, they can invent something and keep it secret. Nothing wrong with that.

But what are the ethics of employing a sentient AI? Does it have any rights? Do they have to pay it? Are they allowed to wipe it’s memory any time they want? Does starting a new chat session create a new person? Etc Etc Etc. Plenty of scope for disagreement, and thus whistle–blowing.

"Brown left the choice of a name up to the Tongva, whose creator-god Quaoar had been named after. The Tongva chose the sky god Weywot, son of Quaoar."
Right, but isn't the ignorance of actual human character shortcomings a huge reason why communism can't ever work, even on paper?

People are inherently self-interested. I would argue that any proposal for an economic system or government needs to acknowledge this at the outset and be built based on that foundational belief.
True, but that still leaves noncommercial AI -- so it's not really a substitute for being able to prohibit AI training as one of the uses of your work.

I've been an early stage startup CTO for the past 10 years. I'm a hands on technologist & builder, as well as a seasoned tech lead. I'm currently building a GPT backed B2C tool, and have applied to YC; however, I'm also open to compelling opportunities. I'm looking for either founding engineer or head of engineering roles in early stage startups, and am open to cofounding if the idea is right. Not interested in NFT adjacent crypto, government contractors, healthtech or adtech.
Bitcoin behaves like a security, not a currency. So yeah, no thanks.
FWIW, I've traveled internationally a dozen times to Mexico, China, and Germany (mostly for work). I have no accounts on the common major social networks, including Facebook and LinkedIn. My laptop runs Linux on an encrypted drive (and it's off when I go through customs), my phone used to run Lineage (now CalyxOS) and would be pretty novel to a customs officer.

I was never hassled even a little on re-entry to the US.

On entering foreign customs, I've been forced to give up tools like small screwdrivers and hex keys, but never my daily-drivers. I've been forced to pay customs when I had to carry two separate laptops into a country (30% the cost of the laptop, as if I was carrying this beat-up old workstation to sell it in the country, instead of because it was the only way to connect to that proprietary equipment). I've been quizzed about plans to leave foreign countries when the scope of work and time to implement a project were not well-defined, as if I wanted a flexible fare return trip because I was moving to Mexico, forsaking my family, job, and home.

Neither I nor any of my coworkers have been hassled on re-entry. We're just not that interesting, it's an irrational fear, stop watching "reality" TV.
GoPros came by default on the 3DR Solo drone, which was used in a few Michael Bay films like the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie.

However, DJI had a lighter drone with more battery life and flight time and much better software and competed hard, getting to the point where 3DR left the consumer drone space entirely and abandoned the 3DR solo.

If you want to get into drones cheaply, you can usually get a 3DR solo for a few hundred bucks and install OpenSolo4 on it, which will make it work again.

Open sourcing would also require open sourcing all the development tools. Also open sourcing the original code while interesting to look at would be impossible to extend (not impossible but very hard).

It would make the most sense to open source BWS (the basic workstation code used for the later version of Star) with all the tools. It had a ton of well written documentation that was all given to universities to use along with XDE.
If you don't want to work for a year then just quit your job and then get a new job later. But it's ridiculous and unrealistic to think that an employer should hold your job open for a year. How are they supposed to get work done during that period, hire a temporary employee and then lay them off when you decide to return?

If you want that lifestyle then just become an independent consultant rather than an employee. I know a married couple who does that. They work for a while to save up enough money, then take off and sail their boat around until they run low on money and have to find new consulting gigs.
Recommendation systems are a large part of what is wrong with the internet and the issues that we blame on moderation.

I have a friend who used to have a medical practice, and have destroyed a number of old phones and voice recorders for him in this or similar fashion, because he takes patient confidentiality very seriously. Also hard drives; their destruction wasn't quite so complete, but still probably beyond anyone but a nation-state adversary, and I don't think he has those (US state, sure, but that's another story).

The logic that anybody we can't see should be a suspect would then target our grandmas with landline phones who buy their groceries with cash or live in nursing homes. It would be a colossal waste of resources and detract focus.

My memory fails me as I read the story many years ago, and sorry already for the spoilers, but I think it's from a Philip K. Dick book.
Maybe somebody here will recognize the plot and know which one it his.

A Computer Science Researcher discovers AGI by accident and builds a brain that almost kills him. Spends the rest of his sad days, researching scientific articles and journal publications, that hint they are following a similar path that led to the discovery, so he can intervene on time.

Edit: I think it is The Great Automatic Grammatizator written by British author Roald Dahl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Automatic_Grammatiza...

"... A mechanically-minded man reasons that the rules of grammar are fixed by certain, almost mathematical principles. By exploiting this idea, he is able to create a mammoth machine that can write a prize-winning novel in roughly fifteen minutes. The story ends on a fearful note, as more and more of the world's writers are forced into licensing their names—and all hope of human creativity—to the machine..."

Edit 2: Found it! Had to go back to my 20,000 book library. :-)

It's "Dial F for Frankenstein" by Arthur C. Clarke.
A telephone engineer accidentally creates a global AI by connecting telephone systems around the world. The AI becomes sentient and takes control of global communication systems. The protagonist manages to shut down the AI, but the story ends with him remaining vigilant, monitoring the news for any signs that someone else might inadvertently create a similar AI, so he can stop it from happening again.

1. Twitter seems to be shipping a lot more

2. Community Notes are a useful feature. Usually on social media, the comments/replies to a post provide much-needed additional context. CN bakes this into the product. IIRC this was a pre-Musk feature, but he seems to have had a positive influence on it.

3. Monetizing for content creators is a good thing for them.

4. If he takes pg's advice and allows people to gift others Twitter Blue, that will be amazing. His changes to verification make that a natural evolution of the product.

MusicLink - a third party music app that does song matchup across streaming services. You can message a friend a link to a song and the app will automatically translate the link to their preferred streaming service. No more getting links to songs on services you don't have and manually looking up music.

That's the core functionality but I'm also building in generative playlists & music discovery tools.
A Survey of Multi-Tenant Deep Learning Inference on GPU (2022)

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.09040.pdf

"As one of the most competitive kernel auto-tuning framework, TVM comes with a built-in assumption of single-tenant execution setting, the tuning configuration of which aims to saturate all SMs and memory bandwidth of the GPU. Such assumption and the single-tenant targeted tuning however becomes unsuitable for multi-kernel concurrent execution with partial resource available for each kernel. According to [7], the maximum throughput gap comparing single-tenant vs. multi-tenant tuned configurations for the same computing kernel could reach 5× difference."

TIL: somehow I had assumed Apache TVM permitted multi-tenancy.
There has been an increasing laymanization of philosophy by academics who should know better. Harari is teleological technobabble personified.
>That sounds like supply and demand 101.

I really, really hate comments like this. It gives an excuse for pure greed and you basically throw your arms up and say "well, it's supply and demand that's just how it works!"

There are only so many flights that can fit so many people, right? So.. instead of keeping the prices reasonable (i.e., basically the same price as other times +/- a few weeks out).. they jack up the prices because they know people want/need to fly then. So they sell out their flights at the price of their choosing- and only people who can afford (or are desperate to go over their budget) get to take flights.

'Supply and demand' isn't some mathematical law of nature that must be obeyed.. it is literally based on greed and charging as much as you can for something. If everyone had similar wealth amounts, then perhaps one can argue that's "fair enough" because it inconveniences people to a similar degree. But since we have such vast wealth inequality, "supply and demand" screws 90% of the population yet again.
> Defensive drones will become as common as offensive drones.

Probably not good enough, as an ironclad defense is likely to remain much more difficult than offense which is occasionally successful.

Just looking at the raw numbers from a German PoV, that is in line with our minimum vacation days (4 weeks * 5 workdays/week + 9 to 12 holidays depending on state, if a public holiday falls on a weekend, it is not not "made up later"). So for me that sounds fair and at the lower end, especially if you have negotiation potential. I am stating this to make my bias clear.

I found your reply coming across fairly harsh. I think this is because we might have different interpretations of what PTO is. For me PTO is part of the compensation for doing my work. In essence, I am not getting paid to do nothing. I get paid less raw money for working, in exchange for more flexibility and less time at work. PTO is reducing my average work hours per week, just taken in bigger chunks at once rather than working a little bit less each day. I think you can also express more PTO as an increase in hourly compensation, but of course with additional implications.

Whether the mandated minimums or any amount of PTO are fitting or not is a different discussion. I think having time you can plan yourself is important. Overall, I think we should strive to work to live and not live to work. At what amount of PTO, compensation, work hours and working conditions you draw your personal line is, in my opinion, very subjective and not necessarily related to job dissatisfaction.

P.S. One extreme example for time/money trade-off I have seen, is someone who works 100%, but gets paid 2/3. In exchange he takes an entire year off every 2 years while maintaining his salary during that time. It works out, roughly, to the same hourly wage, but with more flexibility.
The things that people really covet will always be scarce no matter how much machinery we have. There will never be "post-scarcity", it's just a silly concept.

It's just silt churned up by high tides. When you're on the river, you can easily see that bits shielded from the turbulent flow, where the silt has a chance to settle down, are crystal clear. You can also see eels, seals, cormorants, kingfishers, seagulls of all kinds, and lots of life generally. It's great.
No, I'm disagreeing with their argument and saying social class is not the same thing as academic attainment.

To return to the topic of the article, a limo is (was) a means of signalling wealth. You cannot tell from the outside if the person riding in it has inherited their wealth or earned it from monetising their PhD. But the world changed and now you can see teenagers from working class families able to afford to rent one for the high school prom, or 20-somethings for a stag night.
Unfortunately, few months ago, my gf who is in her very early 30s, was diagnosed with RA. She was immediately placed on the very expensive medication - $5000/month (you read it right, a month). It helps a lot, but not 100% effective and we don't know how it will work long term. We are hoping, that some new treatment might be available in the future.
can I answer none of the above? I went to https://www.cs.pitt.edu/ which is down the street from https://www.cs.cmu.edu/ but everything I learned about problem solving, code quality, "fundamental concepts" I learned after I graduated at real jobs.

And some of the best problem solver and code quality engineers I've worked with over the years either didn't have college degrees or majored in another subject.

It's not exactly the same thing but many (most, I dare say) members of the Ku Klux Klan were religious church-goers. It seems rather valid to point out the corrupting potential of religion.

On this topic I'm often reminded of a line from Killing in the Name by Rage Against The Machine: "Some of those who work forces; they're the same that burn crosses." The song was written in response to the beating of Rodney King[0] by LAPD officers in 1991. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if those officers had considered themselves to be a positive force in the world who just had a lapse in judgement on a bad day.

All school districts will try to dissuade you from taking your kids out of school. It's like asking your doctor if you should eat a cheeseburger instead of a salad. He's not actually going to say no, but he's not going to say yes either.

Most States have an specific number of days that you must attend to advance to the next grade. You may have to factor in whether they count sick days, religious holidays, or other allowed days off (e.g. take your daughter to work day). As long as you're under that cap they won't do anything.

If you are under that cap, they probably won't do anything anyway.

And if missing a few days of school is the tipping point in whether your little Jimmy or Julie has a decent education, you've got much bigger problems.

That really is interesting. I started developing it in my early 20s, and I still have it (mid 30s now), but in some ways it has improved quite a bit. I have no idea why or how. I'm grateful, though I assume it'll eventually get worse again rather than go away.

It has been useful in motivating me to use my hands before I can't, which is bitter sweet I guess. Certainly sweet in that I've appreciated my hands in ways I likely wouldn't have known I should otherwise.

Here's hoping that it continues to fade!
So the big problem was the Fed increasing rates quite dramatically, signaling this, and the banks not properly having a t-bill ladder (ie, buying a mix of short&long term securities instead of just long-term treasuries)?

Adding lots of high-value accounts & making lots of loans is one thing, but diversifying the investment appropriately should be mission #1 for funds.
