Your statement is somewhat contradictory. The monarch has zero power but also controls the military and can violently oppose the government? He’s also powerful enough that people can be arrested for protesting his coronation. Democracy was created precisely because history shows people will be consistently oppressed when they don’t govern themselves.

> Specifically, laws around limiting "improper" behaviour like rowdy protests, being rude online, and consuming porn that's a little too edgy seem to be ways in which our dislike of improper behaviour manifest politically.

Jimmy Saville was way worse than any porn, yet his main enabler just became king. The outrage about the “impolite” seems very unevenly distributed.

That's like saying the following is incorrect

let foo: number;

because at runtime you can assign a string to foo.

Typescript's type system is for compile-time checking, not runtime checking. The above definition is correct if at compile-time you want to check that all assignments to foo are of type number.

An easier fix could be to just add a toggle so users can decide for themselves if they are fine with the app downloading unprompted or not. (This is just based on the post, the app could very well be behaving that way already but since the post doesn't mention it, I'm assuming it does not).

But also: a check every 5 minutes? I understand what you're saying but the only reason those interruptions are frustrating is because of the high volume of daily updates. This could be solved by just keeping this update-frequency reserved for beta users and maintaining a more sane update-frequency for regular users (now what a sane update-frequency is, is a whole other discussion judging by the comments so far :P)
> 1. The AI answers many questions, some of which are potentially harmful, and generates first draft answers.

Actually, there are 2 separate models involved in this finetuning step: AI in steps 1-4 is a pre-existing LLM trained to converse and follow instructions (I call it "advisor"). The second AI starts out as a pre-trained LLM (so only trained to provide likely completions on a general dataset), and is trained in step 5 to generate completions that look more like the dataset constructed in 1-4.

So this process is using the helpfulness in the adviser to bootstrap additional values onto a new model.

> What if you had overseer AIs performing Constitutional AI Feedback on trainee AIs, or otherwise tried to separate out the labor?

That is literally what the paper is about, though its a bit hidden. First paragraph of 4.1 Methods:

"We continue to utilize human feedback labels for helpfulness as in prior work, but replace human feedback
labels with model feedback labels for harmlessness. That is, instead of asking crowdworkers to provide
comparison labels for harmlessness, we simply present the same task to an independent model, called the
feedback model (typically a pretrained LM). Once the desired comparison labels are obtained, the remainder
of the training pipeline (i.e., preference model training and RL) is exactly the same as RLHF."
That’s like saying that having four limbs is a major characteristic of mammals so anything with four limbs is kind of a mammal. Many governments of different forms don’t generate protest. For example, in both theory and in practice, suppression of protest is entirely compatible with democracy. In a democratic country with high social cohesion, like Singapore, protest is often a disgruntled minority trying to undermine the democratic will.
Another alternative is to also diversify over multiple On-Demand instances, just like for Spot.
Look at network effects to pick the right tool, API etc. TCP/IP won out because of the internet. The competitors were mostly LAN protocols, like Novell’s IPX/SPX and Microsoft’s SMB, that became superfluous once networks were connected to the internet - none of those protocols had any reason to exist in the presence of TCP/IP.

I remember trying to convince a Netware fan of that in the late 90s though - he wasn’t having it.

But many students — who use their phones for listening to music, arranging rides home, checking on grades or assignments — are unhappy with the crackdowns. Some check in with parents or coaches by text. Some think the decision should be theirs, not a school dictate.

Parents have been split on the issue, with many critics insisting their children need phones in case of an emergency.

What kind of emergency can’t be handled by calling the school or, as a student, asking for your phone or access to a landline?

Flutter isn't acceptable for Apple platforms, especially iOS. It technically exists, but barely works.
I'm still a bit skeptical about Logic's ability to be a full-featured DAW on the iPad. The move is great, but we need to tackle several challenges to make it suitable for final editing rather than just a work support tool:

- It needs to have open and comprehensive plugin support

- The workflow for uploading and exporting content needs to be seamless, and the iPad OS is still limited in this regard

- Screen size and real estate are still a concern

- Ready-to-use ecosystems for operating with the iPad, such as interfaces, audio monitors, etc., need to be developed.

I love the idea of being able to record, create, edit, and mix on the go, but I've kind of moved away from the DAW paradigm on tablets. Today, I focus my workflow on a Dawless idea, with the M8, Digitakt, Organelle, OP-1, and several other devices. More expensive? Definitely! But it fits my creative mode.
While the price might be ridiculous for you, the price is not ridiculous for the people in the market for it.
This is such a dangerous way to look at this; this is exactly the sort of thinking that makes these bad ideas happen.
Where is it written that a tablet is the same as a portable laptop?
iPad Pro not designed as portable presentation tool, it's designed to be a portable touch-enabled apple device that can be used for creative workflows.

The presentation setup, in apple's view, is an appletv connected to a tv and one or more HomePods for the audio. and you can use an iPad or iPhone or MacBook to cast to the screen+audio.

Like I said before, it sux if you dont fit into this group (which is the masses) but they are not alone in focussing just on the masses
I think it's more to justify refusing to parent.

I agree that phones/apps/social media/video games are addictive (the ones that aren't just don't get popular) but I disagree with your proposed framework for identifying "addictive" things for children in schools. Schools are very artificial environments with a massive lack of stimulation and self-agency for young developing human children. Damn near anything is "addictive" in that environment - books, doodling, origami, annoying people around you, etc.

Would be interesting if phones would be "addictive" to children used to playing outdoors in autonomous groups in (semi-nomadic, not city-based) pre-colombian civilizations.
TikTok keeps a list of everything its users watch and do. It keeps a list of users who watch videos about tattoos. It keeps a list of users who watch videos about wearing dresses. How would it know to recommend you more gay stuff if it doesn't know you like gay stuff?

The problem with the "don't actually try to read; instead, guess what the word might be based on things other than the actual letters it's actually composed of" approach is... it doesn't teach kids to read.

It does, however, teach kids to skim and guess and parrot, which, given a bit of coaching and upfront memorisation, is perfectly sufficient for passing a literacy test by rote despite, in fact, being unable to actually read.

So we end up with perverse incentives for the school and kids with unfortunate gaps in their life skills.
This is common at most CFAs. We have one of the busiest (in the US) CFAs in Carroll County, GA and they have 3 lanes that people deliver orders across.

Cash is about the only slowdown they have when delivering orders.

The difference is that TypeScript won’t let you assign a string to foo at runtime, but TypeScript will absolutely let you pass an object with additional properties at runtime.
Out here, in some schools they don't even allow phones on multi-day school field trips. The class teacher has a single, dumb, "class phone", all the parents know the number, all the kids can use it at apropriate times to call their parents, so all the "emergency" needs are covered, but the kids are not glued to a phone half the time there.
From the article "Most school systems already had cellphone bans in 2020, according to federal data, " ~77% of the school system had a ban in 2020.
It's important to distinguish between that and skepticism of existential threat claims used to argue that we must radically rearrange society now to combat it. Not everyone agrees on the best approach to handling climate change. That doesn't make them denialists.

If you think society can adapt and a reasonable reduction of CO2 over time is the best approach using market forces, then for example, degrowth sounds like a bad solution. If you think we're doomed in the next decade, then might as well start geoengineering.
I didn't get my first real phone until after high school, while everyone else had one.

I graduated salutatorian. I was able to focus on my homework after school for hours without distractions. I had a computer at home, but it was pretty crappy.
> many critics insisting their children need phones in case of an emergency

The school could always call the parent, or the parent could always call the school, right? Does the minute it might take the kid to answer the phone at the teacher's desk or walk to the office make that much of a difference?

The only way I see this being something that's truly time critical is if they're using "emergency" as a euphemism for school shooting.

An efficient pruned and quantized model contains about as much information as its file size would suggest.

The ability to train models and have them reproduce terabytes of human knowledge simply shows that this knowledge contains repetition in its underlying semantic structure that can be a target of compression.

> You mean phones weren't already banned?

Parents won't allow bans. Not only do kids throw fits if a phone is taken (see the teacher get pepper sprayed the other day because he took a phone a student was actively using to cheat during a test? Then an earlier video surfaced of a student punching him, though IDK if that one was phone related) but parents do, too. There's only so much schools can do if parents aren't backing them up—ultimately, the school board runs the school, and the school board's answerable to and largely made up of parents (among other locals, but parents are the most politically-active there, for obvious reasons).

Teachers and school admin would love to ban phones, but cannot.
Access to phones and social media is a global phenomena. Is the supposed academic issues equally global too?
Yeah and they only stored the data for a year! I'm honestly surprised by how relatively non-invasive that is.

Your example is patently silly.

I see, thanks. It's remarkable that the RLHF has such a drastically negative impact on the model's understanding of the world. Guess that explains the degrading unicorn problem. It makes me wonder how much better at coding an instruct-trained but non-aligned AI would get.
> How does one know it's metasearch engines. Which ones are they. Have there been any discussions with them.

SearXNG supports marginalia but uses the demo key. Any instance that enables marginalia support will spam the API with this key by default. I don't really mind, it's just that they need to get a key to be useful. The shared global ratelimit of the public key is (IIRC) 15 queries/minute because it's a demo key that's not intended to actually be used in any applications, just to try out the API. Maybe I should set up a daily rotating key or something to prevent this problem.

I'd be all for having more search engine instances. Problem is you need specialized hardware to run a search engine, even a small one like mine. I've paid $5000 out of my own pocket to build the server I'm using, plus give or take $200/month in network and power.

I'm crazy enough to take that loss. I don't expect many other people will do the same. There's really not much money in running a publicly accessible search engine.
The high school my kids went to (they are in college now) required them to have a phone. They used the camera for projects (videos and photo projects), were told to use the calendar for tracking tests and assignments), and used email and some other app that I don't recall the name of that let the teacher broadcast to the kids and the kids could reply privately to the teacher.

A homework assignment would be on the whiteboard and instead of having the kids copy it down, they would tell them to take a photo of it. They used the browser often for the all kinds of things.

If a kid couldn't afford phone service they could use an inexpensive or second-hand device on the school's wifi. Apparently it was never a problem though - everybody had a phone.

By the end of high school, the kids are 17 or 18 years old - adults. Teaching them to use their phones responsibly isn't a bad thing.

They both had the opportunity to step up and actually BE that "metaverse" that everyone was talking about and never took advantage.

Roblox chose "let's just let kids do whatever, stack money, and if there's a bunch of garbage that comes with that, so be it."

Minecraft chose extreme fragmentation and mediocrity. It's a wonder that MS hasn't run it into the ground completely, but also it's a wonder that they've done such a crap job with such a great opportunity.

Apart from the best answer of "get a water chiller"

The DIY solution would likely look like what Homebrew Beer folks call a Keezer.

https://homebrewacademy.com/how-to-build-a-keezer/

Most Freezers have at least some to all of the walls filled with chiller lines, so a collar is the best way to enter the freezer as in the link. You'll also need to interrupt the freezer's own duty cycle control to run less than normal so as to not actually freeze the lines, or else, do as was said elsewhere and use Glycol as an intermediate loop. That gets rather inefficient and redundant (the freezer is already a loop of coolant cooling your water-loop and venting the heat out the back) so either do it quick-and-dirty with a pond pump, a board on top of your freezer, a temperature sensor-tripped outlet, and some tubing, or else get a proper chiller.
