Scientific publishers have high profit margins, but the prices are still within the right order of magnitude. Most research papers have a very narrow target audience. Publishers do a nontrivial amount of typesetting and administrative work for each paper, and that must be covered by a small number of downloads.

That means that that shareholders can make the company choose things that benefit shareholders at the cost of customers. Taking investment is a fundamental change in trust architecture.

I no longer believed that 1password is aligned with me, and alignment is a constant force always acting. Removing local vaults was proof of lack of alignment. Removing local vaults was proof that 1Password will choose money over security. Removing local vaults was proof that that appearing worthy of trust is a lower priority than coercing people into their cloud.

> Disagree - GPT4 definitely has a level of reasoning, can abstract problems, can apply knowledge in new and different ways, so it definitely meets some definitions of intelligence.

That's from the humans who generated the original text that GPT4 is essentially mining.

Furthermore, until you have a concrete definition of exactly what intelligence is, then the question (and answer) don't mean much.
I'd echo what others say, KeePassXC on local storage, which you can then sync across devices either with syncthing, dropbox etc.

However, I have just started exploring using vaultwarden (a rust rewrite of bitwarden, which is self-hosted).

Yes that’s a typo, numbers still add up just fine.
Even if it was around 0.10$. This does not scale, it would need to be less than 0.01$ per generation to keep up with open source models where the cost effectively is 0$ (leaving our hardware). These open source models are still not replacing GPT4, but they are moving into that territory.

You could sync the KeePassXC database with Syncthing, to have e2e encrypted sync across devices, fully open source and without servers.

Built ReReview AI – chatbot to help find the best AI tools for any task or team
I've been working on a side project called ReReview AI, and I'd love to get your feedback. My goal was to create a platform that makes it easier for people to discover the right AI tools for their needs.
ReReview AI is built on a directory of over 3,000 AI tools, categorized by GPT-4 and ranked based on performance data. Users can search and filter tools based on tasks and teams.
However, I noticed that some users (including myself) struggled to find what they needed, so I built an AI chatbot called Ask AI to help users find tools using natural language.
The platform is built using GPT-4, OpenAI Embeddings, and Pinecone vector database for memory.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to try it out and for sharing your feedback!

Pretty useless video. The dev kits had both a Linux PC and a PS2 target board in the same chassis. These guys never got past the Linux login prompt. Now the PS3 dev kits were more interesting.

Isn't this basically just unnecessary overhead if you can do a forward pass with encrypted weights? Like, what are you still protecting with encryption at that point?
I liked that approach until I realized that devices are replaceable, people aren't.

If my kids want to play a game wirh me, I'll install the game. A pristine device that I can't use to further my values is worthless to me.
And that design lead to what difference?
I am very happy with my vaultwarden setup, but if you don't run your own server, you don't want to, KeePassXC + syncthing is probably the best you can do.
My understanding is that in the EU more (or most) research is publicly founded for eg compared to the US.

Why isn't academia a more social activity?

Think of this analogy.

You are interested in say a subset of research on morel mushrooms.

You know who the reputed people who publish are so you "follow" them and their profile. They did a new peer review of a newcomer and you get alerted. You check their work and are impressed so you follow them too.

Your favourite researcher Also curates "his" favorite researches and researchers on their blog so you are one click away from their opinions on what is good or bad.

Compare that with a "reputed journal". The way the system is designed, the journals work of sorting and filtering, the reader is expected to trust their research of choosing the work so you trust their judgment and you auto assume the work is good.

Why don't you democratize that work to domain experts itself and everyone helps everyone else. Isn't that the case with everything online?

1Password is the best password manager I've used, and the family plan works great and is reasonably priced ($60/year). Unlike many folks who are cloud-averse, I prefer a cross-platform solution that syncs to the cloud, and I'm comfortable with their security model (https://support.1password.com/1password-security/).

It's worth noting that they really fubared the 1Password 8 transition and I was very irritated that they had me looking at alternatives. However, they gradually fixed the problems and missing features and now I'm 100% satisfied with it again.
A real reason for the student loan crisis is that universities are basically just funding a few publishers.

From there, she may have better context to determine the trajectory of her career.
Maybe some of them, in committee roles.

The weak link is the campaigns.
Journals typically have an editor or editors in the field who is often a professor or researcher at some institution. They don't get paid.
People prefer to receive information that other people get (ie from popular people and large outlets), so algorithmic prioritization of existing popular brands/people is literally just giving (most) readers what they want.

Sites that do this will outcompete sites that do not.

Decentralized systems do provide an escape hatch, however, so that's good and useful for the minority of users that seek out niches or deep cuts.

> do they all eventually come to value precision over accuracy?

There are some issues to be aware of here. It isn't possible to do the reverse - to value accuracy over precision - because your accuracy is limited by your precision.

This is a theorem in psychometrics, where the phrasing is that the validity of an assessment (the degree to which it accurately measures some quantity of interest to you) is bounded by the reliability (the degree to which, if you assess the same thing twice, you get similar estimates).

If you find that your assessments aren't accurate enough, you can only fix that by increasing your precision, so the concept of valuing precision over accuracy is a little bit weird.
lol, those would be raw pointers as well but at the asm level with registers. Joking aside, gut strings are extremely rare outside professionals. I’m not surprised to see it mentioned with this crowd. Cheers for tickling this music nerds interests.
You are confusing net profit margin with operating margin. The 37% figure is operating margin, whereas the net profit margin is 19%. From your link, it looks like the Scientific, Technical & Medical arm has identical margin to the parent corporation.
I've grappled with the same question for a long time now.

I came to the conclusion that the Neolithic Revolution was probably a mistake, albeit a fun one. The total set of problems faced by humanity in it's original form basically boiled down to "what am I going to eat today and where am I going to sleep tonight?". Those two problems never go away. All you can do is shift them around. Every single novel problem we solve in our entire lives is just those two problems endlessly shifted around.
Grapes are literally toxic to foxes (and dogs).

What a perfect analogy.
Prestige journals with paid editors are the rare exception. Academic journals typically have active researchers volunteering as editors, because the prestige of a journal largely comes from the people in the editorial board.
Back when 1password, 90% sure it was that, had no Linux client I was searching for a solution to store passwords and settled for Enpass.

I sync via WebDAV on my Synology NAS and I’m not really worried to lose anything since every synced device has a full copy of the data.

Thought about switching to 1password a few months back since we’re using it at work and the client is better but they don’t have an Enpass import. It supports some kind of CSV transfer but I don’t want to pay for a bunch of, worst case scenario, not really perfectly structured data so I decided to stick with what I have.

Edit: when thinking of switching I was a little nitpicky. I’m pretty happy with Enpass everything considered. 1p client is just even better but with the give them your data and your money thing, which I’m not necessarily fond of
Can anyone explain why dev kits are always so much larger than the release product? I get that some shrinking may occur after the dev kit is released (board revisions) and that (possibly) the kits need to support more things inside, but they always seem comically large.

For another example, the Nintendo DS (Nitro) dev kit, for example, is also a relatively massive box, but with a full on DS still hanging off the side of it.
>A.I can't reach consciousness since there is a lot of non-symbolic thinking going on

There's no reason to think that an AI couldn't have non-symbolic modes of thought. Symbolic systems can be used to implement non-symbolic systems, which then have the constraints and limitations of the non-symbolic system. Neural nets are widely considered to be sub-symbolic systems. This was a core debate between the connectionists and those that argued symbolism was required for cognition and that neural nets were a dead end.
Exactly this. You can find so many videos of various self driving vehicles safely traversing the roads, highlighting the truly incredible work they’re all doing.

It’s gross how many people ride the bandwagon of anti-Tesla or anti-self driving because it’s not coming out as fast as the next iPhone revision. It’s a damn hard problem that’s going to take a bit of time and deliver serious rewards to our society.

This must be what it felt like in the early days of automobiles or other highly disruptive, society changing innovations.

Every time I read something like this, it's a wave of sadness and empathy, then it's a wave of anger. I'm a generation older than the author, and went through a similar experience with my mother. I witnessed my cousin be thrown against the drywall so hard, he broke it. I'm convinced he has permanent brain damage today due to the abuse he suffered.

I learned from my uncle recently that my aunt and my mother were the product of horrendous and similar abuse from my grandmother. My grandmother, who my mother made out to be a saint.

This is just ignorant. You have to at least understand what it does, not some made up pop culture version. Bombs are easy to understand. Almost nobody (if anybody) has a clear handle on what "AI" does, as in what it's actual long run use or effect is. There are lots of dumb analogies (read "prediction machines" for a particularly shitty take) but nothing with any demonstrated predictive power.

People who understand the technology at least can descriptively tell you what it does, which is a lot more useful than what laypeople think based on whatever populist media they've consumed.
It depends on the journal, but we're talking here about the journals such as Nature and Elsevier which charge large fees, and those journals do indeed pay their editors.

Cool to see a classic quote I've seen in multiple places by now: Adam was watching two men carry a load of bricks in a construction site. He was wondering whether the men would drop the bricks. This wondering did not involve any symbols, but it was an explicit cognitive process

It strikes at the heart of the thinking that makes up 99.9% of my life but seemingly most people never talk about it or are completely unaware of it.
Not sure what the last paragraph is saying, but it is regrettable how consumers were led to believe that this problem would be quickly solved.

In their defense, the whole AI industry was convinced of this. It’s known as the long tail. An absurdly huge number of small edge cases to fix before it’s a solved problem.

It all goes back to Microsoft not naming the 360 "Xbox 3" with some lame excuse for why it did so. Yes, everyone would have laughed, but no one would remember or care today that the "Xbox 5" isn't actually the fifth Xbox.

He's long passed into the "live long enough to see yourself become the villain" phase.

I think that anyone can see who-blocked-who is the bigger issue, because that's usually not discoverable and allows a) a lot more large-scale analysis and b) when it comes to "celebrities" of various kinds, their "fanbase" is quite likely a bigger source of harassment etc overall.

I'm especially interested in what their new protocol offers that ActivityPub doesn't. There are more protocols than just ActivityPub, like Zot6 which focuses a lot more on nomadic identity than ActivityPub does. I'd love to know what it is that makes BlueSky's protocol better and therefore worth adding. Because if it doesn't do anything that other protocols already do, then what's the point?
I too share your sentiments about the upcoming generation(s). The other thing I notice about them is that they're overall far more accepting about differences in race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.

No but it means a fake 1P login page can be served and that will result in some non-zero number of people who didn't have a choice on a local sync having their credentials compromised. I am a huge 1P and I think their whitepapers show off their top-tier talent in the crypto space but killing local sync was a very crummy decision.
