> Take the perspective of one of these things. You think 100 times faster than a person. That means that if it takes 30 seconds for a user to respond or to give you your next instruction, you are waiting 3000 seconds in your loop. For 50 minutes.

... in a purely digital environment.

Think about building a house. Digging the foundation, pouring cement, building block walls, framing, sheathing, weatherproofing, insulating, wiring in electric, plumbing, drywall and plastering, painting, and decorating it. You can imagine each step in exquisite detail over the course of an hour or an afternoon.

Now go out and build it. It will take you months or years to carry out the actions you can imagine and plan in an hour.

A digital being may be able to run on expansive overclocked hardware to have an experience hundreds of times faster than yours, but it won't get to be the flash in the real world. Mechanize, sure, build robot swarms, sure (although then it gets to multitask to process hundreds of input streams and dilute its CPU power), but it will be coupled to an existence not much faster than ours.

If it wants to interact with the real world; a (true) AI may be able to live a lifetime in an afternoon, in a purely digital world, but once it is marooned in realtime it is going to be subject to a very similar time stream as ours.
Yes, they adhere to many international agreements already. You can look up North Korea's signed treaties if you're unsure. Ignoring the Al Qaeda part (or similars) because a fragile extremist group barely held together is unlikely to have the resources to assemble anything devastating enough to warrant infringing on an international agreement regarding militarized AI.

"The government" already has this level of access. Not only that, but its control extends beyond the country's borders too; the government can seize, freeze or otherwise access the accounts of Americans (and non-Americans) in almost any bank across the globe. The only bank accounts that it can't do this to would be under the control of an even more repressive government (Russia, China, Iran).

Most of this information is for sale anyway.
> to prevent real catastrophe

I guess we'll agree to disagree on this, I don't think we can prevent real catasthrophe. We can prevent some (relatively small) amount of suffering though, and all that matters is we do the best we can.

A couple things here:

1. Their definition of "white supremacist" is far, far wider than yours.

2. I don't see white supremacists at all. In fact, aside from Elon's mercurial and adolescent drama and knee jerk policy changes, Twitter is far, far better.

It seems like all the people who whined about other people on Twitter fled to Mastodon or something. And in fact, I stopped using Mastodon because it became a clutter of people complaining about people on Twitter, because those people held different opinions.

Cooperate with domestic and remote governments, work with the deep state, influence elections and work with candidate teams, and so on. There are also companies with more reach and resources than entire countries.

Plus, corporations have been known to downright spy, threaten, beat up, and murder people when multi-billion interests are threatened (e.g. by local populations wanting clean water or better working conditions).

> This means a LB compromise basically compromises everything

Think about what a compromise of the LB means in a world where the encryption (TLS session) is not end-to-end. The LB can now steal all the content and lie. So, same thing.

If connection security is a priority, you need the TLS session to be from client to destination server with no MITMs. This is where mutual TLS authentication is ideal, since any would-be MITMs can't fake being the client.

This is why allowing TLS MITMs such as cloudflare is such a terrible idea if confidentiality matters at all.
Here's my question. Why are there SO MANY PROCESSOR SKUs?

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/platforms/d...

I lost count at 75 SKUs for Cascade Lake. Do we need 2-core increments? Do we need 0.2 GHz increments? Is this just part of the binning process? Wouldn't it make it easier for everyone if they had 1/4 the amount?

I'm trying to think of the amount of manhours wasted in meetings where IT staff debate 16-core vs 18-core and 20-core, alonge with 2.1GHz vs 2.3Ghz and 2.5GHz, when all the CPU's are within $100 of each other.

I think back to the Pentium days when you'd only have a handful of clockspeeds and then something new (like MMX), or a new socket would come out and then you'd get a couple more chips.

I can't help but read something like this and think that some people seem to be entirely lacking some sort of acceptability or disgust filter. A sense of morality or just any connection to what's... normal?

"You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should" comes to mind.

Maybe I'm just getting old, conservative, grouchy at the kids. It's not just AI, there are all manners of lifestyle choices that to me seem like they're just obviously a bad idea despite maybe having some novelty or short term feel good factor.
Most programmers write awful code, according to most other programmers. You may have seen CS grads writing awful code "many" times, but you still have a very small sample to make generalizations from.

The reason seems so obvious I interpret your question as a gripe rather than a sincere search for an answer. Anyone fresh out of school only has whatever they learned in school to work from. They won't have the experience that eventually leads at least some programmers to skills and effectiveness. Programming, like any complex skill, takes years of practice to master, along with aptitude and desire to get better. It stands to reason many people fresh out of school have just started down that path.
There are multiple dimensions here - fame and fortune at the very least and whether it is localized or global in scope.

It is still winner takes all, but if you look at the overall landscape, there are plenty of opportunities where you can have an outsized impact - you can have localized fame and fortune (anyone with AI expertise under their belt have no problems with fortune!)
In the mid 2010’s GoPro had a huge mind share among content creators and was multibillion company. They could easily buy a drone startup to get the necessary talent.
This may seem silly but can there be a text transformation/translation layer, where the conversation text is ultimately PG, the user thinks they have sent their thoughts, but they are translated and vice versa for the user and AI, so its effectively a text filter in between keeping all parties "safe" and within policy? But the UX is same as before.
Thats a smart system. In Sweden and other countries there is pant, pantamera "container deposit system" you recycle aluminium cans in the store. One reason it takes a lot of energy to melt aluminium which you use to make aluminium cans.

You should get money back when recycling electronics so there is an economic incentive todo recycling.
Sure, that's a hallowed tradition in America.

And at the same time, blindly trusting institutions and their dogma has long been a turn-on for people with a superiority complex, or those content with the status quo.

I remember working on a large database without foreign keys for a while. When asked why did not use foreign keys, I was told that they didn't like the opaqueness of CASCADE, which I could understand. I guess I did not give it much thought afterwards, until I later ended up in a shop, where the database did include foreign keys, but only with RESTRICT. It was eye-opening how useful foreign keys were, when they were just integrity checks.

That's the one that comes up on the splash screen for me, and if you see that as in any way "suggestive", that's disturbing to me.

Would you have the same problem if they had Mickey Mouse in their splash screen? After all, he is topless and arguably more suggestive than Kiki is in any way.
My interpretation of the comment was that pursuit of realism leads to incredibly complex and specialized systems that are much more difficult to define the iteractions of.

E.g. Imagine a player jumps and bumps into a light source in a simple game: We add an up force to the player object, when it bumps into the light source we calculate the collision of the two shapes and calculate the resultant forces, move the player and light, and then recalculate the light of the scene for that frame.

In a complex game: We designed the inverse kinematics system to position the feet without the idea that a player would ever leave the ground, we don't have any more mocap studio time so we don't have a jump animation, the characters hair physics look really weird if we just apply an upwards force so we need to code a work around for that, if the player bumps into the light we can't move it because we have to precalculate the lighting at compile time, etc. Better to just not let the character jump.

I'm not saying you necessarily should do it, but if you really want a sexy chatbot like Replika's that you can run on your own hardware and not worry about what a company is going to do with the model or what you say to it, you can use a local LLM tool like llama.cpp with an uncensored model like the uncensored version of vicuna.
There are only so many ways and places to extract clean water for large populations in an efficient way. Once water is used, it has to go somewhere, which is back into the water system. Every person/population downstream then no longer has 'clean water' without verification. We could have 10x the clean water we have now and we would still have to consider this aspect.

Authority figures will not matter. This technology, like nuclear weapons, will be pursued to the utmost by all actors capable of marshalling the resources, in secret if necessary.

This is interesting, these will be low risk bonds with a better yield than treasuries. It could be a safe place to park money during the coming recession and get paid for waiting.

Up to 40 year duration, although long duration bonds carry a very large interest rate risk and either make lots of money on a fed pivot or lose lots of money if inflation doesn’t drop and rates go higher.

Peroxide has at best generally been found to useless, and at worst you're introducing active chemistry to your ventilation system (including ozone). If you want to get rid of garbage in your air then (a) exchange it at ASHRAE-recommended volumes, and (b) use high-MERV/HEPA filters.

In wildfire zones and in wildfire season you can perhaps add charcoal filters—if your system is designed to handle the pressure/head loss—to get rid of the smoke-y smells.

There is no need to conduct chemistry experiments on yourself.
It is not correct to say that people are being manipulated by algorithms.

People are being manipulated by people. Those people consciously chose to mislead and manipulate others. They do it with LLMs just like they used to with handbills and propaganda publications.

It's Not Intelligent If It Halts: Critical Perspective on Approaches to AGI
> There is no lawyer who will defend tenants against landlords because there's no money in that.

> nonsense ... Every major city has some form of a tenant legal aid society.

As far as legal representation goes, it is dominated by landlords in NYC.

While you _can_ get a lawyer as a tenant, the housing court is set up to favor tenants not having counsel in the name of access and fairness, and they try to run things in a way that makes this tenable by quickly ruling to e.g. have the tenant pay back rent over time, or order the landlord to fix whatever etc.

If as a tenant, you do get counsel, everything changes and then the landlord holds all the cards through usual legal shenanigans like not showing up, dragging things out, having huge firms on retainer. Plus the judges decide you're not worth helping anymore since "you can afford a lawyer".

This also makes it that the vast majority of lawyers are on the landlord side as their really is "no money in it" to defend tenants and there's also no public-defender system. A legal-aid society is a band-aid at best. Even if you do pay you're getting the bottom of the barrel of lawyers who can't get any other work are the ones who represent tenants.
I figured the justification was #2, and my answer is obviously give space more budget and do both, but I know the government doesn't tend to align with my priorities.

The linked article is inconsistent and simply marketing bullshit:

"The display also boasts a resolution of 2000 x 1200 pixels" ... "The display also features a resolution of 2800 x 2000 pixels"

"The tablet is powered by an octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM" ... "Additionally, the tablet features 8GB/12GB LPDDR5"

"It also comes with a 9510 mAh/36.99Wh battery" ... "The OnePlus Pad features a large 7,100mAh battery"

"The OnePlus Pad Tablet runs on the Android 12 operating system" ... "The OnePlus Pad runs on the Android 11 operating system"

So... what are the actual specs?

On top of that, the device has a crappy MediaTek SoC and runs Android, which is not especially great for tablets.

Is it really a MediaTek SoC? Further down, the document states "Snapdragon 662 processor".

WTF? Or is this simply another stupid article written by GPT?

Email: nathan@biggerplanet.com

I’m a senior full stack engineer with a front end focus and 20+ years of agency and startup experience.

I've managed teams and worked as a solo developer, and have strong communication skills. I've been told I'm a fun, intelligent, thoughtful, and reliable coworker!

Most recently, I took over a large codebase for the front-end of a consumer-facing web app, migrating it from Vue 2 to Vue 3 and doubling the feature set.
That’s sort of what I mean when it comes to the AI working with plug-ins - so you’d have a specifically designed {insert medical conglomerate name here } AI vetted and maintained around a particular purpose, say idk noticing suspicious tumors during or outputting information on what’s going on where it’s needed in the system. It could be helpful even with very simple stuff.

One of my roles has been writing surgical edu content, and I’ve used OpenAI to output procedure descriptions. I’ve unfortunately found that they were 99% accurate and then jumbled some significant thing..
I'm a former Mormon (I guess you could call me an "ex-mormon"). Just some advice: be careful about getting (or propagating rather) information from ex-mormons regarding Mormonism (or rather, verify it first). There's an incredible mix of ignorance and/or antipathy that leads to extremely unreliable information. Of course there are plenty of exceptions, but it's a massively deep philosophy/corpus that not many (even active members) put in the effort to actually know it, and for some reason some people become LLMs when asked questions about it, answering very confidently with whatever sounds the most correct to them without regard to actual truth value.
