So far as I can tell, most aren't. I think you're right that we get a better as well as more productive and profitable world if no humans are okay with that.
It's not bullshit, it's what explains a large class of misunderstandings.

Doubt it will go beyond that either. It is equivalent to a spell checker and a calculator having a baby.

They have a concept similar to what you described in South America. In Peru you can jump in private vehicles that run particular named (sometimes even numbered) routes.

The car and minibuses simply go when they are full or once they have waited a fixed amount of time and they have at least on passenger. It works pretty well and a company called CityMapper tried to do something similar in London. They looked at the transport data and found routes that people wanted to take, but we're underserved by public transport (eg. Shoreditch to Islington on a Friday night). They would then hire privately operated black taxis to run the route for a fixed fare with a fixed waiting time, and they took the risk on empty seats.

I really see this as clear improvement. Comprised of is unnecessarily fuzzy word. It might be fine for native speakers who have fond memories of their grandmas using this word but for non-native speaker it is just obtuse.
Happy to see my favorite extension on HackerNews! I have been using this extension to learn French, and it works quite well for me.
> but always as an alternate.

This is not true at all. Merriam-Webster includes it as its second definition of three [1]. It is not presented as an "alternate" or as confusing or incorrect in any way. To the contrary, there is a usage note at the end emphasizing its validity -- how it is "now somewhat more common in general use".

> I think it's noble to push against inadvertent usage changes that make the language more ambiguous.

But there is nothing ambiguous whatsoever about "is comprised of". Its meaning is crystal clear.

> But why is it any more valid to push the language toward using "comprised of" in this new way

It's not, because they're not "pushing" anything. People are just communicating in the same constructions they've unconsciously absorbed, like they do with most of language. The only people "pushing" are people like this Wikipedia editor, who is trying to impose an exclusionary viewpoint that, for example, the editors of Merriam Webster disagree with.

The only reading I can come up with, and it's really stretching generosity here, is that the works were written smack in the middle of the Great Vowel Shift. Some of the rhymes are lost/opaque for modern speakers. But that doesn't really change the core inanity of the parenthetical.
The issue in this is that they speak english, think english, want X in english. But in reality need Y.

Of course that's their job. The police force is not designed to be a vehicle for social change nor for justice.

The way the system is supposed to work is that engaged citizenry actively overhaul unjust laws and apparatuses, and the police then enforce those new laws.

Unfortunately we have abysmally low civic engagement in most of the western world which leads to the mess we are currently in.

I like to make fun of the French as much as anyone else but I really respect and admire the French people's propensity for protest and to stand up for what they believe. That's advanced citizenship in action.
As someone who works in the industry, the projects to increase grid capacity are dependent on investment mostly from the government or from large customers of which there are few. It's not like executives at every public utility are excited to sink themselves further into debt, assuming they can get access to all the capital, and betting it all on a completely unrelated industry and an unsure customer base.
> It can only do what it was trained to do: make a good guess at what word should come next.

Disagree - GPT's mechanics are that it guesses what word/token should come next, however it is now displaying emergent capabilities which do show an agent which can generalize. Maybe not to 'AGI' levels, but it is starting to show little signs of it.

> It can't do basic maths, or even follow instructions. It can't make valid moves in a game.

It can do basic maths - better than most humans (but it cannot do maths better than a calculator). If I ask GPT4 to calculate 51 times 102 it will get the answer, despite most humans struggling with this task. It does this just via internal representation without any specific 'calculator' API call or functionality.

It can follow instructions - if I tell it to take the sentence "abcd" and then tell it to follow the following steps: "1) swap b and c around, 2) reverse the string, 3) ignore step 1", it will output "dcba" and describe how it reached that output

It can make valid game moves - Without being formally taught chess it will make valid chess moves most of the time (see: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/xyjhFCSSXZsW6HDBb/a-chess-ga...). It made 29 valid moves before making invalid moves. Again, GPT4 has not been specifically trained to play chess, it just has picked up some chess rules and games while reading the internet and this has somehow formed some sort of internal representations for chess within it's model. I can also describe a new/novel game or puzzle to GPT4 and it can have a go at playing and solving it.

What it can't do is learn at the moment, although learning isn't part of a lot of definitions of intelligence, which is why we have to define intelligence before you can say if it is/isn't intelligent.
The feminist complains about feeling disrespected for half the interview instead of dealing with the substance of the question. When she finally gets around to commenting on his point, it's a vacuous and insulting dismissal-- exactly the sort of thing she seems to think people shouldn't do to her.

Most of what she says is sour grapes. But when you put all that aside, there's something else disturbing going on: apparently the AI experts who wish to criticize how AI is being developed and promoted can't even agree on the most basic concerns.

It seems to me when an eminent researcher says "I'm worried about {X}" with resepct to the focus of their expertise, no reasonable person should merely shrug and call it a fantasy.
Also spoken language is looser. You can't hear the difference between "there," "their," and "they're" but your brain fills in the appropriate meaning. When you see it written though, there is a slight mental stumble as you initially parse the word as written, then understand that it's wrong, and make the appropriate mental substitution.
I always felt like Craigslist pre-validated AirBNB as a business. Short-term rooms for rent was already a popular Craigslist section. AirBNB took that and (1) added payment, (2) parametric searching and (3) better profiles.

Craigslist is/was largely where things get listed that don't have a specialized site that fulfills those at least 2 of those. E.g. etsy, ebay, stubhub, online dating, rideshares, gigs

> While they are made up of humans

I don’t know why we always gloss over this bit. Corporations don’t have minds of their own. People are making these decisions. We need to get rid of this notation that a person making an amoral or even immoral decision on behalf of their employer clears them of all culpability in that decision. People need to stop using “I was just doing my job” as a defense of their inhumane actions. That logic is called the Nuremberg Defense because it was the excuse literal Nazis used in the Nuremberg trials.
Same thing with Samsung and their key leak.

Part of the blame, imo, lies with how clunky tools are at the lower levels. I've seen plenty of hardware based signing protocols that don't allow for key hierarchies.

Higher level tools push this along as well. Hashicorp Vault also, last I checked, doesn't allow for being a front end to an HSM. You can store the master unlock key for a Vault in an HSM, but all of the keys Vault works with will still be in Vault, in memory.

Does the following satisfy your requirement for "a famous riddle with a paradox change"? Because GPT-4 aces it most of the time.

"Doom Slayer needs to teleport from Phobos to Deimos. He has his pet bunny, his pet cacodemon, and a UAC scientist who tagged along. The Doom Slayer can only teleport with one of them at a time. But if he leaves the bunny and the cacodemon together alone, the bunny will eat the cacodemon. And if he leaves the cacodemon and the scientist alone, the cacodemon will eat the scientist. How should the Doom Slayer get himself and all his companions safely to Deimos?"

Furthermore, it will reason if you tell it to reason. In this case it is not necessary, but in general, telling GPT to "think it out loud before giving the answer" will result in a more rigorous application of the rules. Better yet, tell it to come up with a draft answer first, and then self-criticize by analyzing the answer for factual correctness and logical reasoning in a loop.

Swish is for when you want to quickly organise windows using gestures. It’s the gestures that sold me on it. As for Contexts, it is only an app switcher but really useful if use multiple windows of the same application. Fast jumping between them by the name of the application or content of the title or anything else fuzzily is incredible. Do note that all of these make sense if you are a heavy keyboard user.
It also has a very broad knowledge of programming languages and frameworks. It's able to onboard you with ease and answer most of qour questions. The trick is to recognize when it's confidently incorrect and hallucinating API calls.
Ah this explains a lot. I couldn't understand why I couldn't get close to the ~12 pages that everyone was saying 8,000 tokens implied.
From the linked article, I'm left with the impression that this is only a problem for MSI (and a few other vendors) devices.

If Intel Boot Guard works by including a public key in a fuse in all CPUs from a set of series and now the corresponding private key is leaked, why isn't this a global problem? The same CPU with the same public key must be in every machine with an Intel CPU from these generations. What am I missing here?

They have built in connectivity and storage making them inherently suitable for demand side management and variable pricing. Hell they can even discharge into peak times and can thus be a net positive for grid stability.

Spoken language is also different in that, as you correctly point out, it is at times more limited in how much information it contains, but also, in other ways it can be much richer in information than the equivalent writing. Things like nonverbal or tonality can contain a lot of helpful or contextually-relevant information that cannot be found in writing.

So writing and speaking, while having a lot of linguistic overlap, are just different beasts.

all white keys is easy to play a scale without thinking, but I find it much harder to play well than keys that have some sharps or flats. that pattern of 2-space-3-space on the black key shelps to anchor your hands. I'd take e-flat major--its far easier to play than c-major.

Transposing is harder, but the vast majority of piano litature is never played tranposed--you play the notes on the sheet music. I've tried some of those new layout keyboards like the Linnstrument, and I'd never try to play a Beethoven sonata on one.

In principle prescriptivism is about slowing language evolution, but in practice almost all of the prescriptive rules that people talk about (including opposing “comprised of”) are not based in any historical usage pattern. The prohibitions on ending a sentence with a preposition, “less” before a count noun, etc. are all made up out of thin air.
Why is it ok to be prescriptive with things like spelling of words but not grammar or the meaning of words? If people are using words in a way that doesn't make sense to the reader, such as changing the meaning of them to be the opposite like the word factoid, it's not the reader that is wrong by pointing out that the word has a different meaning than intended. I have no problem calling out such use as being wrong.
The editor is imposing a controversial viewpoint on tens of thousands of Wikipedia articles that is not supported by authority or consensus. Merriam-Webster, for example, disagrees with the editor [1].

It's not so different from if a Brit tried to change every instance of "color" to "colour", or an American changed every instance of "colour" to "color". It would be incredibly annoying, patronizing, and disrespectful.

Wikipedia is not a place for people to wage their private grammatical language wars, and so people are responding in a negative way because the editor is trying to impose their viewpoint by sheer force rather than respecting contributors who choose to use Merriam-Webster's 2nd definition of the word.

I actually ran a full character-level diff with move detection over the entire wikipedia edit history (few thousand machines) back in ~2008.

The vast majority of content was created by a long tail of users, with a very small minority of users being the last to "touch" a particular piece of text (copy edits, moving things around, etc).

Probably should have published that.

China builds it because they are putting government money towards it, rather than allowing private companies to build infrastructure that can make themselves a profit.

Now, I do understand why China works that way, and I also get why Western companies can use this to funnel taxpayer money to their friends, but I don't get why someone like you would support either of these ideas?
This assessment is based largely on GPT-4 evaluation of the output. In actual use, Vicuna-13B isn't even as good as GPT-3.5, although I do have high hopes for 30B if and when they decide to make that available (or someone else trains it, since the dataset is out).

And don't forget that all the LLaMA-based models only have 2K context size. It's good enough for random chat, but you quickly bump into it for any sort of complicated task solving or writing code. Increasing this to 4K - like GPT-3.5 has - would require significantly more RAM for the same model size.
I don't think you understand what I said, and are arguing something else entirely.
Global warming is a direct result of technological change.
Yeah. And it's a refractor. A 150mm refractor. So its light-gathering power is not great, it's much heavier than it needs to be, and that apochromatic triplet lens is gonna be much, much more expensive than a mirror that's twice as big.

Last time I was in Manhattan was 6 years ago, but at the time an Uber was as-good-or-better than the train for a lot of within-Manhattan trips. I splurged on a bunch of Ubers since it let me see a lot more of the city at ground level, which was fun, and then quickly noticed that when you factored transfers and walking to/from stations, it was no inconvenience either.

Obviously it wouldn't scale that well for everybody but I wouldn't be surprised to see, if self driving cars master Manhattan, some more well-off people who aren't currently at "private driver" level of rich to move to self-driving cabs or such to avoid crowding and go point-to-point.

The big advantage of the trains was in leaving Manhattan and going to Long Island, though, compared to the car-bottleneck-hell of the bridges and tunnels.

The way I'd cheat on this exam would be to just play whatever scale I've practiced and assume the examiner doesn't have perfect pitch.

Having said that, I've never really had trouble with scales in any key on any instrument I've played. I don't know why people training to be professional instructors are even worried about this sort of exam.

Full disclosure: I took piano the first semester of college and got an F. (I don't really know why. I think I made the professor mad or something. I got a B in "intro to Java" despite getting a 100% on every homework, lab, and exam because the instructor told the class that a "d" after a numeric literal tells the compiler that the number is represented in base 10 or "decimal". That is not what that does, and I corrected him. F for participation! Yes, I did go to a terrible school.)

It was at that point that I stopped taking any classes that weren't directly required to graduate; why better yourself and become more well-rounded when internships sort by GPA descending? But I digress ;)
