I wouldn't feel weird about it. The risks - someone stealing know-how / someone finding a security hole - are negligible.
If wanting to do something the regulations disallow is definitionally unethical, banned because it was unethical, then either the regulations are exactly correct wrt ethics or they are actually too permissive.

Right? How else can I interpret that?

And can you quote any argument they've made for the experiments being unethical that doesn't either:

A) base the argument on current FDA rules

B) assume some kind of extreme example like "so experimental we can't even explain the danger well enough for informed consent to be possible"

I would be interested in a discussion of specific issues with specific possible experiments but I don't see that happening anywhere. Just someone taking the neurosurgeon's words and interpreting them in the most extreme way possible.
Well, someone tried, but they sometimes die prematurely.
You're making a lot of odd assumptions here that can break when the underlying ideas on how things work...

People work to create things... at this point there is a shared duopoly between humans and machines on creating things (in the past animals used to be heavily involved in this labor, and no longer are). Now think what happens if humans are not needed, especially in mass, to create things.

Right now if you're rich you need other humans to dig up coal or make solar panels so you can produce things and sell them to make the yacht you want. But what would happen if you no longer needed the middle part and all those humans that want rights and homes and such in the middle? They would not longer be a means, but a liability. Price no longer is a consideration, human capital is no longer a consideration, control of energy, resources, and compute now is.
Use your feet and your coin. I refuse to live in a city or work for a company that supports uncommon stupidity of allowing drug abuse, homelessness due to the drug abuse and crime also due to drug abuse to do whatever they want. I will leave and have left and would do it again and again. If they support this stuff let them loose talent and fail. I started my own business and doing fine. Start your own stuff and create circumstances YOU want. Not any harder than that but it is not easy to do so.

To avoid some of these issues, it can be helpful in a project to require that all files including header files must be compilable on their own. Doesn't get rid of all the problems (you can still depend on transitive includes without explicitly including them) but enforces a minimal amount of code hygiene.

Everyone agrees there's a lot of hype right now but no one thinks _they're_ a part of it. You know why? It's because we're told we're on an exponential growth (we are), so everyone is trying to force it. So each time there's a breakthrough, we're desperate for it to be rocketship that takes us there.

It's time to step back and let the exponential thing happen on its own. We didn't get here because people in the 20th century sat down and plotted a way to achieve exponential growth; it just sorta happened.

Most of the hard problems in graphics today involve scale. Epic's Nanite texture compression system is impressive, but about 60% of the work has to be done in CPUs because GPUs don't have the right stuff for it. And Nanite is still just for rigid objects.
Crowds of individually dressed people are still tough to render fast.

NVidia put in ray-tracing hardware into GPUs. It's not used much in games. NVidia was angry with reviewers who just ignored their ray-tracing hardware in reviews. The reviewers were not wrong.

And could we please have good hardware support for order-independent translucency? That should be standard. Then we can get rid of depth sorting of faces, which never works right.

AirLink Wi-Fi stream with Quest is great, not much different to tethered cable.

I think there is a case for local ML becoming more popular too, I could see nvidia making a Shield like box at some point with a mobile 4000 series GPU and good thermals, that could bring those GPUs to mainstream beyond hardcore gamers. It would work for gaming, VR and consumer local ML apps (Siri that actually works and doesn’t leak data).

Maybe some day the latency/bandwidth will be good enough to stream VR from edge servers so you don’t even need a local GPU. We’re not there yet, even for non-VR games

I think we’ll see new classes of games/entertainment too where you’ll just describe the (VR) experience you want and ML constructs a game or (immersive) movie like experience of it. Maybe a different one every day.

I can see Nvidia selling a lot more GPUs in the next decade as ML and real-time 3D becomes much more pervasive. At some point other much more power efficient architectures (our brain uses 12 watts) will trump general purpose GPUs

The loss[1] of diversity is primarily due to the way we abuse the ocean - bottom dredging of shellfish beds destroying whole slow-growing ecosystems, dumping sediments, toxins and excessive nutrients (which amount to toxins) in the ocean via runoff from land, indiscriminately catching whole populations of free-swimming fish, and so on.

Climate change is just the cherry on top, really, compared to our other efforts to reduce biodiversity.

1. I don't know why we use the word "loss", which implies an accidental outcome, when we're systematically setting out to plunder and strip-mine ecosystems.

The downside is that is cloud based.

Maybe it's anti-Elon, or maybe it's anti-the-things-Elon-is-doing-to-Twitter. Just because the people who like Elon have joined a cult of personality doesn't mean the people who dislike what he's done to Twitter have done the same.

For example, I still think Tesla's are cool cars and Space X is doing exciting things.

For me, Twitter has become absolutely unusable. Every person on my FYP and in the replies is someone with 328 followers, crappy opinions and $8/month to burn. I went from loving Twitter for over a decade to finding it utterly devoid of anything interesting anymore. If you happen to like it more now, that's great, keep using it! But a lot of people simply don't get value out of the app anymore.
Interesting, I need to give it another go.

"PR" means "public relations" in this context, not "press release." PR is deployed by capital to influence public opinion, drive interest & investment, etc. It is true on its face AI is in a PR-driven hype cycle just like crypto before it. Having a hype cycle doesn't mean there's no value in the thing being hyped, only that its perceived value is being driven higher during the hype cycle.

Definitely think a lot of creatives feel the same, that practice is too boring or too raw but it's just a part of the process! Some love seeing that process, and it gives them another way to connect, others don't really care but even just seeing the process on the channel can demonstrate authenticity.

Lots of options even if you don't want to show your face or voice as well. Like short videos on how do play the chorus of (popular media here), with text/graphics on the video to help people.

Don't discount external platforms as part of the entire journey, they can feed into each other. Twitch-Patreon-Youtube combination is really common, TikTok/Insta Reels instead of Twitch is another. Best part of such video-based combinations is content reuse, you don't need to generate new content per platform, fantastic for stretching out periods between intense recording sessions. Then add in platform specific content (like opening up some rough draft originals to Tiktok duets, encouraging people to add their own lyrics), and you've got quite a substantial cycle in place without much serious effort due to all the reuse!
I bet you can name three superpowers using something similar for lots of important things!
see also - the section titled "Distance function" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_dimensionality

> One way to illustrate the "vastness" of high-dimensional Euclidean space is to compare the proportion of an inscribed hypersphere with radius r and dimension d, to that of a hypercube with edges of length 2 r . [...] As the dimension d of the space increases, the hypersphere becomes an insignificant volume relative to that of the hypercube

E.g. in two dimensions the ratio area of the circle of radius r=1 to the area of a square of side length 2r is pi / 4 = approx 0.785. As the number of dimensions becomes large, this ratio drops toward zero.

There's also some discussion of how using distance functions to measure distances from reference points become less useful as the number of dimensions of the space increases -- all distances becoming similar -- although

> research has shown this to only hold in the artificial scenario when the one-dimensional distributions are independent and identically distributed.

I'm seeing this amidst a lot of pundit complaints that the FDA and similar regulatory organizations are hopelessly restrictionist. Because of their incentives, because they only add new regulations and never remove old and ill-suited ones, etc.

I'm not saying the pundits are wrong in general, but this seems to be an exception. What went right here and why? Is there anything to learn?
Wait a minute. So you're saying it actually does matter whether you know something?

You seem to be saying that because you've done a bunch of research about schools, you deserve a vote.

And I should get a vote due to having kids in the system.

But that leads to some interesting questions.

You are happy to let people who have done neither have a vote, too? How does that make sense?

What about people who have both? I read Gatto as well. I also know a bunch of stuff about different systems. Plus I went through education. But I get the same number of votes as you?

There's also the interesting question, which is the core of politics, of who gets to decide stuff. If it comes down to knowledge and deliberate research, why don't we just let people who know stuff decide things for everyone? I think that path has some positives, but it has the fatal flaw that even a very knowledgeable person does not necessarily understand what it's like to be the the recipient of their decisions. Principal/Agent problem, for instance is one of the ways to think about this. It has some real issues, which one of the commentators mentioned regarding the civil service.

The core of what I'm saying is that if we have skin in the game, we will end up learning the things we need, so you will have both. You won't be an expert in everything that you need to make decisions about, but you will have an incentive to inform yourself.
>to compromise your computer

What do you mean by this? As the user you are intending to have the game and its anticheat run. Having to download and run a game on your computer isn't compromising your computer either. Maybe the only thing which doesn't give the game company power to run potentially malicious code on your machine is cloud gaming. That also solves the cheating problem at least.

I would just like to say that I am excited for Bluesky to exist. It might go poorly, but I'm unwilling to write off weird attempts at innovation before the technology has had a chance to evolve in the wild.

I've seen several posts lately that have made me feel like the HN sentiment towards Bluesky is negative. Throwing them under the bus for the domain validation mistake. Hatred at commercialization of a protocol. Questioning why Bluesky would do anything but become a worse Twitter since Jack Dorsey is at the helm.

C'mon! At least give it the benefit of doubt while in beta! I, for one, frequently lament how fragmented my IM programs have become. I felt like there was an ideal point where Pidgin + XMPP interfaced with everything and we've slowly walked away from that high water mark. So, approaching communication at the protcol level has a certain appeal. I get the reasoning behind the goal.

Do I have concerns that this is another attempt at building a walled garden around something I wish to be open and interoperable? Of course! Do I think it's a net negative on society for someone to be making their attempt? No! Bring on the new tech!

I wish I had a more nuanced argument to make my case because I'm sure there will be tons of replies here telling me why my opinion is bad and I'll be unable to refute them. And those responses will likely make very fair points, but oh well! I needed to at least try to throw some optimism about technology into the HackerNews foray.
I dunno. Are they though?

This link rejects the equivalence, but I don't really know. Could you clarify the distinction?

Personally, I never see something like this being made (or at least marketed as such).

However,

*pauses to put on tinfoil hat*

Nvidia does sell devkits that roughly match the compute footprint you're describing[0]. They're ARM SOCs which puts them at a disadvantage for gaming, but the form factor does exist. If you need a lot of high-power AI compute and are willing to tinker with it, you can't beat CUDA on ARM.

Again though - there's a reason these are sold as devkits and not products. Every YC-backed roach from here to Mississippi is going to spend their next half-decade trying to get your data/money for a machine learning product. Nvidia knows it's a losing game to sell hardware instead of services here, so they're arming the entrepreneurs instead of the consumer. Frankly, I think it's the right move anyways. People are going to need scaling compute for decently fast AI inferencing in the future, and Nvidia can keep that scaling curve under their thumb. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if there are Nvidia execs suggesting that they abandon the gaming market altogether just to focus on more lucrative AI/datacenter customers.

The answer so far has been “a lot”, and I think it’ll continue to be the answer.
You were right to be annoyed. It is a very sad answer. Almost a “if I didn’t peddle on this street corner someone else would”. The answer is a cop out.

Individual citizens have much less power than big tech because they don’t have the lobbying warchest, the implied credibility, the connections or even the intelligence (as in the sheer number of academics/researchers). Companies are run by people with a conscious or not and those people should lead these pushes for the right thing. They are in the ideal spot to do so.
