The paperclip maximizer is a thought experiment described by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003.

> Suppose we have an AI whose only goal is to make as many paper clips as possible. The AI will realize quickly that it would be much better if there were no humans because humans might decide to switch it off. Because if humans do so, there would be fewer paper clips. Also, human bodies contain a lot of atoms that could be made into paper clips. The future that the AI would be trying to gear towards would be one in which there were a lot of paper clips but no humans.

Corporations are soulless money maximizers, even without the assistance of AI. Today, corporations perpetuate mass shootings, destroy the environment, rewrire our brains for loneliness and addiction, all in the endless pursuit of money
Apple is not using seL4 which is the proven one and which required sizable modifications to the original L4 variant seL4 was descended from. Apple is using a modified version of one of the many other L4 variants.
> I think there is a clearly positive impact in having what I imagine would be 70% less vehicles on the road.

Already acknowledged, but it doesn't improve the picture for the grid.

> huge parking areas allowing for more dense development and thus shorter overall drive distance.

Ceteris paribus. If we move to EV rideshare, eventually houses might become closer together. But that will be a much slower effect and you'd have to deal with energy usage based on current building distances.

> It also allows for a distribution in peak charging time.

Already mentioned.
I think auto-antonyms should be avoided in an encyclopedia. (And also in scientific publications, text books, and laws.)
My thoughts exactly. That would require a lot of HTML parsing, plus the risk that any website might watermark the page.
Yea but nobody was like "we are gonna kill all these horses in 7 years".
But relative wealth is not created. It is a percentage and by definition distributed. Relative wealth is what drives standard of living and creates the power imbalances OP is talking about.

Absolute wealth (the kind that gets created) is kind of pointless to measure. If you have $50K and all your neighbors have $100K, and then tomorrow you have $100K and all your neighbors have $1M, you and your neighbors created wealth but you are worse off.

None of what Schneier reported put any of this in a layperson's grasp! The issue with Dual EC is that it's a public key RNG: it produces RNGs by encrypting state to a private key. Somebody potentially holds the private key, and can "decrypt" random numbers back to the internal state of the RNG. There, see, I explained it. There's not much to it!

As evidence for Schneier not really moving the needle on this: Dual EC remained a component of important industry products --- Juniper/Netscreen VPNs, in particular --- for years after this blog post.

For what it's worth: that's what the major revelation after BULLRUN was. Not that Dual EC was bad --- literally every competent practitioner knew Dual EC was bad --- but that serious products were actually using it. Seeing Dual EC turn up in a VPN server was the smoking gun, not any particular slide from a Snowden tranche. That's when there's no denying it's a backdoor.

(Mark me down as someone who was a Dual EC backdoor skeptic prior to the Snowden fallout, for whatever that's worth to you.)

You would see there address here as one of two things:
1. verified, or
2. flagged.

In the first, you would be reassured that the person has been verified by Open Info. And you would further be able to asses how many other verified users have seconded this. Giving you confidence to proceed with your sale.

Tn the second, you would immediately question the validity of the seller and you would be able to review the claims made against them and asses for yourself whether or not you whish to proceed.
Rideshare is also one of a portfolio of things that make it easier to have walkable, bike friendly cities while still being able to hire cars (of an appropriate size) when necessary.

So commute every workday by bike/bus/train but use a car share to get to somewhere out of town once a month.

Buying solar panels from China is not the same kind of dependency as buying fossil fuels from Russia: the first is an investment, the latter is consumption. Also, solar panels can be built anywhere, while fossil fuels are a limited natural resource with no deposits in e.g. Germany.
>whether or not they like driving as an activity. People overwhelmingly prefer cars.

You're basically rejecting the premise as your counterargument. Yes, in the currently built world where public transit is generally worse, people would rather take a car. What about the scenario where public transit is actually decent? You don't really address this, you just state a bunch of gripes with transit-as-is not transit-as-conjectured.

>And you also have to take into account the hassle of transit not actually getting you where you want to be. It's one thing to have a transit system that can get you between cities or to a large general area; it's another to have a transit system that can get you from an arbitrary door to an arbitrary door, which a car can do.

Pretty much every major Metro in the world does exactly that. NY, London, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, HK. When trains run at 5 min frequencies or better, and the network is at least federated between hubs, you get effectively arbitrary point to point transport which is always there when you need it, you don't need to find or pay for parking, it will never be broken into or have unexpected maintenance costs, and you can focus on anything you want because you don't have to pay attention to the road. Factoring in the cost of a new car over how many years you will own it, as well as insurance and other expenses, you're paying more per day than you would on the train before you even left the driveway! The rationale of car ownership stops making sense in cities like these, and consequently, people aren't preferring cars.

The commonality of commuting by car in North America doesn't arise out of natural preferences, its a built preference. Built by a system that reinforces itself.
>I really cannot understand why people set these things at odds with each other.

Because they compete for investment dollars from the government.

Why doesnt the government just fund the cheapest one?

Because the nuclear military industrial complex needs a civilian nuclear industry to operate cost effectively.
A bold statement, when we're discussing a country where many states have no paper trail whatsoever.

This isn't even accounting for the efficiencies of an autonomous vehicle decelerating less by better anticipating/timing stoplights. I see so many human drivers keep accelerating into a yellow/red light instead of easing off the pedal so they can resume accelerating by the time it turns green.
I’m just completely at a loss for how so many people ostensibly so highly qualified even start with absurd, meaningless terms like “Artificial General Intelligence”, and then go on to conclude that there’s some kind of Moore’s Law going on around an exponent, an exponent that fucking Sam Altman has publicly disclaimed. The same showboat opportunist that has everyone changing their drawers over the same 10-20% better that these things have been getting every year since 2017 is managing investor expectations down, and everyone is losing their shit.

GPT-4 is a wildly impressive language model that represents an unprecedented engineering achievement as concerns any kind of trained model.

It’s still regarded. It makes mistakes so fundamental that I think any serious expert has long since decided that forcing language arbitrarily hard is clearly not to path to arbitrary reasoning. It’s at best a kind of accessible on-ramp into the latent space where better objective functions will someday not fuck up so much.

Is this a gold rush thing at the last desperate end of how to get noticed cashing in on hype? Is it legitimate fear based on too much bad science fiction? Is it pandering to Sam?

What the fuck is going on here?
It doesn't matter what advanced driving systems you compare; Tesla is the world's worst in terms of accidents, injuries, and fatalities. For sources: NYT and WaPo both have a series of articles covering this; the NHTSA has released a report documenting over 100 Tesla advanced driving accidents.
But again, this isn't even about correcting others' language. People are fine to use whatever language that serves them personally well in their lives - but this isn't about that. It's about writing encyclopedia articles in a way that's best for their readers. Every comment I'm reading here so far seems to insist this is somehow personal toward the author and correcting them, whereas it really isn't.
Your question honestly got me thinking. If everything goes completely sideways there are a number of shuttering options I can think of.

One is to turn off any new uploads, and just serve the existing content, presumably the bandwidth on old content would be much lower - until some sustainable plan can be devised.

Last resort is to approach the ArchiveTeam mentioned here to see if and we could to setup a maintenance service.

To your side note, yes, I want to promote it on Reddit, as soon as I've added a few more features - like donations.
Likely there will be bacteriophages in the environment where the Desulfovibrio arise that target it, those could make for a very specific therapy (assuming the causal link holds).
The better alternative is cordless, no? At least some products do use that (e.g. cordless mouse). Of course, wireless is now so widely used it might not make sense to fight it :)

There's surely some drug therapy that equates to "give them every known antibiotic, all at once, to entirely wipe out their microbiome." Presumably this is what's done before a fecal transplant, similar to how radiation is used to kill bone marrow prior to a bone marrow transplant.

(Or maybe, given that they're willing to kill everything in there, they just pump your intestines full of chlorhexidine, or some other chemical that kills like bleach but which won't get absorbed into your bloodstream?)

> The most dangerous ones are generally those that have half-lives of days or weeks. That is long enough to get into a human body and give out a lot of it's energy. The is particularly the case for elements that are readily absorbed by the human body (such as strontium which replace calcium IIRC).

You're mistaken, the most dangerous waste is that with half lives measured in decades, like cesium-137 or strontium-90 which both have half lives of about 30 years. That 30 year half life means that it can take centuries for the waste to decay away to safe levels. More than hot enough to kill, and with the longevity to do so for several generations. Strontium-85 and strontium-89 half half lives measured in tens of days, but after a few years you don't have to worry about those anymore. It's the isotopes like strontium-90 that are the major concern.

I personally don't see the issue with current model.

Then again I don't use Discord to directly chat with people. And if I wanted to do that, why wouldn't I just make a new server or invite them to one I have. And do that simply by sending a link.

Actually, if adding other users is the issue, why not allow them to make custom links for that purpose. Something easy enough to remember if they do it all the time.
>I don't know the right solution to this problem, but I wish there were some kind of effective defense mechanism in open society against activist superminorities.

Wikipedia is nothing but a superminority making the website their playground, though[0]. If you get rid of the superminority, the website literally couldn't function. The inner workings of Wikipedia are actually a fascinating rabbit hole to fall into, but the takeaway is that this behaviour seems to be ingrained into human nature. Basically, the majority consume, a minority produces, and a minority of the minority produces a lot. You can see this in any participatory system as well, not just Wikipedia.

It's a broad generalization that isn't meant to be precisely accurate in all cases. I'm not claiming it's a great term, but it does succinctly describe a notable attitude and culture. If there's a better term to use that conveys the same message I'm sure many folks would be happy to adopt it.
Implementing Value Speculation in OCaml
Range has nothing to do with it, I didn't say anything about EV range. It's a matter of economics, ICE bans by 2030 will require people to purchase new cars years before they otherwise would have (the economics of running a gas station business will be trashed, gas will become much more expensive.) It will require increased taxes to pay for new infrastructure, or otherwise increase the cost of electricity. All around it increases the cost of a rural lifestyle significantly, pricing commoners out. Which is probably half of the intention in the first place because rural living is frequently castigated by the anti-car crowd (who never seem to propose car bans for the rich, only policy changes that would price commoners out of owning cars.)

Response to sibling comment's "just buy a field of solar panels bro": Yeah that's great for the people with money to spare. These policies won't bother rich people, but will price out the poor from whom the rich will eagerly buy up property, creating massive country estates while commoners wallow in cities. Just like Roman times. Just the way the rich want it.
If a PR Says “Artificial Intelligence,” There’s a Good Chance It’s Meaningless
I think they were worried about speed because it was a large ship, regardless of propulsion method.
I believe that the longer a sailing ship is, the faster it can sail. This affects the construction/dimensioning. So this small boat would have a hull that can withstand the seas at a certain speed, but might have trouble if towed faster. And they worried that a large sailboat, built to go quite a bit faster, might accidentally go too fast.
I don't have much international experience, but the level of distraction of US drivers is shocking. Easily 50% of drivers I see are looking at their phones (even while going through an intersection!).
IMO knowing about sharps and flats is an impediment to transposition. I play alto recorder, and I was very careful to avoid learning any sheet music. Instead I wrote a simple Python script to convert MIDI files to numbers, with 0 representing the lowest note, 1 representing a semitone above it, and so on. I then memorized the fingering for each number. I can transpose in my head just by adding or subtracting. And I practice scales based on the semitone intervals between the degrees of the scale, so I only need to know major/minor/wholetone/pentatonic etc. and just change the starting note.

This is more difficult on the standard piano because of the badly designed keyboard, but you can get isomorphic keyboards that let you play all the keys without learning all the sharps and flats.

Agreed. I've played with IPFS before. Very interesting, definitely something to consider for the future of Haasie.
It sounds like you are saying children are like juicy grapes when seen from a distance, but are sour and disgusting up close.

And then the last line is a bit of a non-sequitur, particularly given that the fox was longing after that which was beyond it's reach.
It is my firm belief that language is, at its core, comprised of usage and usage alone!

Can't speak for others, but I have several channels I follow where this is effectively the format... It's a bit harder at times where it's just a tripod in the corner, and might be more effective with a headband mounted gopro depending on your work. But other than that, just appreciate enough instruction and video to understand how things are being worked on, usually fast forwarding (in the edit) through the more laborious (time consuming) parts.

But I follow such a wide variety of topics from political, to technical, to PC gaming to food (keto, general, other) and home construction or even electronics DIY stuff. I think YouTube has trouble figuring me out... I tend to get fed too much of one thing over time, and have to go into my subscribe list (a few hundred) and start watching from the more recent, or specific channels depending on what I'm in the mood for.
I used to think this, but you'd be amazed how many small towns in Europe have train stations. The eastern third of the US is high enough density for this, we've just chosen to put our money into interstates and the like instead.

I've also made six small apps completely coded by ChatGPT (with GitHub Copilot contributing a bit as well). Here are the two largest:

PlaylistGPT (https://github.com/savbell/playlist-gpt): A fun little web app that allows you to ask questions about your Spotify playlists and receive answers from Python code generated by OpenAI's models. I even added a feature where if the code written by GPT runs into errors, it can send the code and the error back to the model and ask it to fix it. It actually can debug itself quite often! One of the most impressive things for me was how it was able to model the UI after the Spotify app with little more than me asking it to do exactly that.

WhisperWriter (https://github.com/savbell/whisper-writer): A small speech-to-text app that uses OpenAI's Whisper API to auto-transcribe recordings from a user's microphone. It waits for a keyboard shortcut to be pressed, then records from the user's microphone until it detects a pause in their speech, and then types out the Whisper transcription to the active window. It only took me two hours to get a working prototype up and running, with additions such as graphic indicators taking a few more hours to implement.

I created the first for fun and the second to help me overcome a disability that impacts my ability to use a keyboard. I now use WhisperWriter literally every day (I'm even typing part of this comment with it), and I used it to prompt ChatGPT to write the code for a few additional personal projects that improve my quality-of-life in small ways. If people are interested, I may write up more about the prompting and pair programming process, since I definitely learned a lot as I worked through these, including some similar lessons to the article!

Personally, I am super excited about the possibilities these AI technologies open up for people like me, who may be facing small challenges that could be easily solved with a tiny app written in a few hours tailored specifically to their problem. I had been struggling to use my desktop computer because the Windows Dictation tool was very broken for me, but now I feel like I can use it to my full capacity again because I can type with WhisperWriter. Coding now takes a minimal amount of keyboard use thanks to these AI coding assistants -- and I am super grateful for that!
I wish I could find the article I read a while ago on the history, but it reminds me of how "nauseous" ended up becoming synonymous with "nauseated."

I find IPA terribly confusing myself, but I think the starting sounds give a decent indication to people how the starting sound of Volk differs more from that of Wolke than that of "valley" from "wool", and it's that latter distinction that is hard for those of us used to languages where that distinction is near non-existent or one of the sounds is rare/not in use.

For an English speaker, to put it differently, while the words as a whole are not pronounced exactly the same, the starting sound of German "Volk" is the same as for English "folk", while the starting sound of "Wolke" is the same as for "valley".
> Not every city is laid out according to sound urban planning principles […]

Well… they were laid out according to the "sound" urban planning principles of the 1950s and 1960s. Their soundness is currently being re-evaluated since the previously-unknown/ignored externalities are now being taken into account.

I feel you have a fairy-tale definition of AGI. AGI is not literally magic. It's not "genie in a bottle" in the literal sense.

> If you have access to AGI capable of enabling you to realistically build out your utopian vision, then it matters not what other groups are doing

It's genie. AGI is a computer program, and it doesn't create an alternative universe for your personal comfort. Or, more specifically, even that kind of AGI is possbile, there will be a weaker AGI before that. The AGI that is not strong enough to ignore physical constraints, but strong enough to fuck everyone up if under control of a malicious entity. And that is what AI safely about.
