First of all, no, this word stealing does not mean what you think it does. Because in World Wide Web, the client decides what they do and do not see; not the server. I get it, you hate the World Wide Web because it doesn't give you the authority of power to demand such, but... alas, this is the reality you must deal with. And besides, even those who adblock and sponsorblock are still valuable for YouTube. Why? Profiling.

> Your hypothetical successful "hobbiest for the sake of fun" would either not enter the partner program and let Youtube keep all of the ad revenue they will run anyway, or enter the partner program and disable monetization and abuse Youtube for content hosting without delivering anything back to them.

Well, that is only because YouTube stopped paying out the small fish. You know, the ones which got YouTube popular to begin with? No longer needed, cause network effect 101 applies and the psychopath executive who got paid hundreds of dollars per hour coming up with schemes to increase shareholder value figured that out at some point, probably via 'market research'.

Now, I watch (more often: listen while doing other stuff) some 'creators' (the word alone is cringe, like 'influencer' (marketeer) and 'crypto' ('cryptocurrency' or 'ponzi scheme')). Their content is a lot of fluff, they don't have much substance, and the content can easily be better summarized. If anything, they're leaching valuable time. But I do get it! Its 'entertainment'. That's what 'creators' are: 'entertainers'. And also, liars and manipulators. Take clickbait titles, for example.

And I am totally fine with entertainment moving to paywalls. These probably contain more substance and less fluff. As much as I hated to pay for say Windows (more to do with... Windows, and Microsoft) or say CDs and vinyl, it is a more honest model than the advertising industry or the subscription shenanigans. And paying for something, makes it feel more special, so it better have some valuable content.

Like and subscribe my post if you enjoyed it. Imagine people writing such on forums under every post. You'd easily see what an annoying mess it would become. That's the gist of YouTube these days, probably TikTok as well (with these dumb challenges which are outright dangerous, and the 'creators' are getting away with such behavior). Another example of advertising gone insane: Google TV. When my kids turn on the TV, they see the apps and yes it might be locked the content. But Google advertises on the home screen, including with content not viable for my children. Its the same when I open the app for the Dutch public broadcasting content (the stuff I pay for via tax, akin to BBC). I immediately get suggestions for content. Why? I know what I want to watch: NOTHING. I'm trying to get to my kids profile to watch one of the series they always watch at this time of the day, after dinner.

Advertising is the cancer of the internet. It even started that way (it was Sun or DEC spamming Usenet). And it can be done in a non-obtrusive way. Look at the advertising on this website, how it works. It never bothered me. Because it isn't all shit and evil, just a lot of it is.

> "The legislation as drafted included technical issues that could put safety and security at risk, as well as heighten the risk of injury from physical repair projects, and I am pleased to have reached an agreement with the legislature to address these issues."

The whole bill was altered by the legislature and governor such that assemblies satisfy the requirement to have parts available. So if Samsung glues the battery to the screen and sells it to you as a $300 part, that satisfies the requirement of having the battery available. So the whole bill was sabotaged and used a press release by the government to pretend they were doing something for the people when in fact they were neutering the bill.
One time in physics lab we had an experiment with tuning forks. I rung the fork, put it to my ear, did the “do re mi” song in my head and I unmistakably recognized that one of the notes matched. I told my lab partner, we looked it up and determined that I was correct.

I only skimmed the piece itself, but the title of this article is in extremely bad taste -- makes me doubt that the author really intends to consider the pros and cons of AI research in good faith.

If I had a dollar for every time I as a paramedic had a patient tell me "no allergies" and then list off a bunch when we get to the hospital, or "I only have high blood pressure, I'm pretty healthy", and hands over a box of half a dozen or more prescriptions, or their spouse says "Well, he did have a stroke and a bypass last year"...

In NY if the governor doesn't sign it becomes law by default.

> What drives a mega wealthy person to choose a [mega] yacht

Private jets allow them traveling without the inconvenience of other people. Mega yatchs allow them having a private hotel that follows them as they travel.

A mega wealthy person has a busy schedule meeting with other elites, and they will often want to do that with maximum comfort and privacy. As long as the schedule isn't too tight, their crew can guarantee that the yatch will be there for them when they arrive, without the risk of having to see or be seen by lesser people.

The fact that the immense majority of people can't do the same is just the icing on the cake.

Then stop appealing to it as a reason that everything will be fine! We don't know what's going to happen and have no precedent, and that is why this is a scary situation that requires thought.

> A hypothetical AGI isn't sharing a physical space with us.

That's not true, right? We would be competing for electricity and resources with it, at the least. Also, it is able to affect our physical space by persuading humans to do things it wants to do, which will have unpredictable and hard to defend against effects because of the whole superintelligence thing.

(Imagine, say, a version of the attack on the US Capitol, but on behalf of a leader that is orders of magnitude more charismatic and persuasive.)

> I mean, worst case scenario, shut down the internet infrastructure or reduce throughput significantly, right? It has to operate somewhere, even if that's across every online device.

Sure, persuading everyone in the world to all agree to turn off all communications devices -- when they've already presumably been convinced that they don't want to do that by a superintelligence -- sounds like an awesome plan that will totally work.

Societies and cultures compete with each other. If a norm is truly beneficial for society/culture, then societies/cultures which maintain it will outcompete in the long-run societies/cultures which abandon it. The more successful societies/cultures will spread the norms which enabled their success, through emigration, war, diplomacy, trade, investment, emulation, etc. Whereas, if a norm is harmful or irrelevant, that won't be true. Natural selection at the sociocultural rather than biological level.

Burning witches doesn't seem to give any society a competitive benefit – certainly not in contemporary circumstances – so it is unsurprising it has mostly died out. While many ancient, mediaeval and early modern empires built their wealth on the backs of slaves, in late modernity slavery appears to be more of an economic detriment than economic benefit – a free workforce has greater flexibility to respond to changing market demand for skills than an enslaved one does – so it is unsurprising it has greatly declined–although, contrary to what many think, it still exists, and still even has its defenders.

In terms of what is "good"–if you believe that there is some deep metaphysical connection between the True and the Good, such that even though they are non-identical in the past and the present, in the long-run they must converge–the sort of view presupposed by that Martin Luther King Jr quote which Obama liked so much, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice"–then if a social norm helps a society/culture outcompete in the long long-run, it must be good.

Whereas, if your metaphysics has no room for any such connection, then what social norms turn out to be most beneficial in the long long-run, and what social norms are actually good, may be fundamentally unrelated, even in complete contradiction to each other. Maybe witch-burning and slavery are simultaneously great evils, but also will inevitably conquer the earth because of their great advantage to any society that adopts them? I hope not. A worldview which would permit such a conclusion is rather dismal.
Apollo wasn't at all a military program - it was about as far from military as you could get, at that time, and still use huge rockets. And would have been a massive waste of money, if it were. There was a military space program, but Apollo was not part of it. It was a national prestige program.

> Kennedy as president had little direct interest in the U.S. space program. He was not a visionary enraptured with the romantic image of the last American frontier in space and consumed by the adventure of exploring the unknown. He was, on the other hand, a Cold Warrior with a keen sense of Realpolitik in foreign affairs, and worked hard to maintain balance of power and spheres of influence in American/Soviet relations. The Soviet Union's non-military accomplishments in space, therefore, forced Kennedy to respond and to serve notice that the U.S. was every bit as capable in the space arena as the Soviets. Of course, to prove this fact, Kennedy had to be willing to commit national resources to NASA and the civil space program. The Cold War realities of the time, therefore, served as the primary vehicle for an expansion of NASA's activities and for the definition of Project Apollo as the premier civil space effort of the nation. Even more significant, from Kennedy's perspective the Cold War necessitated the expansion of the military space program, especially the development of ICBMs and satellite reconnaissance systems.2

the cerebras wse-2 has 40 gigabytes of on-chip sram, pretty sure tianhe-1 has a few gigabytes of l2 cache, and it's common nowadays for even laptops and cellphones to have weird multi-gigabyte memories as the level in the memory hierarchy below l3 cache or even l2 cache; they just don't call it cache, and they use nonvolatile memory for the level below that

also, of the machines i listed, only tianhe-1 will have any particular trouble with earthquakes
I find it quite interesting how they whitelisted their own Surface devices but not, say, Thinkpads, despite them having the same CPUs. [1] Surely there's no conflict of interest here.

Could you explain in what way "DCH driver support" is a "hardware security mitigation" as you wrote?

Moreover, doesn't basing this on "DCH driver support" basically let the hardware vendors decide which otherwise-capable CPUs they'd like to make obsolete through software updates?

And furthermore, note that the OS isn't even turning on the CPU features they require by default, as the article also mentions.

(I'm probably going to just leave it at this, but suffice it to say the evidence doesn't seem in their favor.)

I enjoyed the post and this is off-topic but when I was younger I was very pro-GPL and I still like copyleft, but to me the logic behind it makes less and less sense as time goes on. RMS compares software to a physical book you can modify, make copies of, and share with your friends, but in my opinion, software is much more like a power drill, a tool you can modify with difficulty and let people borrow. The analogy for software as media is also ironic because the FSF themselves claim that the GPL is not intended for media works and recommend other licenses (like Creative Commons which I support).

I do like the idea that GPL prevents big corps from taking advantage of programmers, but the idea that a GPL program is inherently better than a proprietary program written by an independent developer no longer makes sense to me, though independent proprietary software is often abandoned. But more importantly, it doesn't seem fair when a company makes an AGPL devops tool and then a bigger corp just sells that product as a service. When companies like MongoDB decide to change their licenses so that Amazon doesn't steal all their customers, I don't feel bad about it at all. I have no skin in this game but it blows my mind that there are FSF people who defend massive corporations essentially reselling a smaller company's work solely for the sake of ideological purity. Someone can correct me if I've been misinformed here.

b) multimodal adds different components. But, I think, it's not limited to text and images.

c) they found the way to use 'addons', algorithms, or external models, to improve the results. this would explain why it is good at some tasks, but not the others.

d) using 'addons' requires model (re)training. however, some addons can be updated separately.

e) they put quite a lot of work in design and implementation, besides the training itself.

Newer ones are better. And even old surface machines were mostly awesome, premium devices.

This is my experience as well. I've spoken to Chinese co-workers who cook a lot of traditional food at home, and they have zero issues with electric stoves (induction or no) for cooking with a wok.

As for those who claim that gas stoves are needed for wok cooking w/ specific techniques, most people who I've actually asked about what they cook on the wok is basically "fried rice", or even worse, they don't actually have a wok at all, and are using the issue as a strawman to complain about government overreach.
