I don't think it really matters who was responsible if the X-risk fears come to pass, so I don't understand why you'd bring it up.

I disagree. Cloud _anything_ is extraordinarily expensive.

We've started colocation in local datacenters for our non-critical systems and haven't looked back. Yes, these non-boujee datacenters do have occasional outages. In fact, just a single outage in two years, involving a power feed, which lasted an amazingly short 36 hours before it was fully restored.

Did we care? Not really. These are data warehouse, batch, large query, and ml workloads for analysis. The hardware costs the same as one month of cloud providers and has already paid for itself in savings multiple times, including salary cost.
Note that Golden Cove has a 6-wide decoder, and does not have a clear advantage over Zen 4 with a 4-wide decoder. Other parts of the architecture affect performance more, so it doesn't make sense to put more area and power budget into the decoder.

No, it needs to be public to some degree (i.e. "disturb the public peace"):

§ 130 Incitement to hatred (1985, Revised 1992, 2002, 2005, 2015)[38][39]

(1) Whosoever, in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace:

incites hatred against a national, racial, religious group or a group defined by their ethnic origins, against segments of the population or individuals because of their belonging to one of the aforementioned groups or segments of the population or calls for violent or arbitrary measures against them; or
assaults the human dignity of others by insulting, maliciously maligning an aforementioned group, segments of the population or individuals because of their belonging to one of the aforementioned groups or segments of the population, or defaming segments of the population,

shall be liable to imprisonment from three months to five years.[38][39]

[…]

(3) Whosoever publicly or in a meeting approves of, denies or downplays an act committed under the rule of National Socialism of the kind indicated in section 6 (1) of the Code of International Criminal Law, in a manner capable of disturbing the public peace shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding five years or a fine.[38][39]

(4) Whoever publicly or in a meeting disturbs the public peace in a manner which violates the dignity of the victims by approving of, glorifying or justifying National Socialist tyranny and arbitrary rule incurs a penalty of imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years or a fine.[38][39]

Gotta love the correlation is not causation crowd. Do they think Haidt and others haven't considered that? It's like the first thing that everyone considers.

I personally think that HN dismisses these ideas because it would mean dire consequences for their high paying entrenched employers.
You seem to read "phonetic spelling" as using an alphabet that can encode any utterance in a reproducible way, like the International Phonetic Alphabet. I'd call that phonetic encoding, not phonetic spelling. One is explicitly language neutral, the other can be wildly language specific, but still very regular within the language specific ruleset. And those language specific rulesets usually come with a wide variety of "inofficial" variants used by regional dialects, most of which still being far more regular and internally consistent than the mess that is English.
Thanks!

Your complaints are moral and subjective. They don't seem to fall under the category of "huge problem". All Churches endeavor to "hoards". Not one doesn't. For a variety of good reasons. That being said, your moral complaints are valid for you. I hope that you can reconcile them or find a community that better meets you where your values are.

No, because their are very few fundamental values.

If you can dig through the incredible dense ideological jungle of liberalism and conservatism, you'll find that they really boil down to societal responsibility vs self responsibility, and that in any given scenario both of those are viable takes with their own set of pros and cons.

For the record, "188,000 views on TikTok" is not that many for a single video to reach, let alone an entire search term's worth of videos.

As a zoomer reading this article I can tell you this very literally boils down to "funny voice = funny joke" and you could just as easily swap out the british accent for a Kermit impression. The popularity of british reality TV has exposed the young americans that watch it to funny sounding british slang (e.g. "fanny flutters") and now those sayings are making their way into jokes.

I promise you no one except for the Miami content creators and former reality TV cast members quoted in the article are slipping into British accents at Burger King.
> Smartphones give children the ability to bully eachother at a scale unlike any other.

No, social media does. I think it's important to be specific about that because a smartphone is just a tool, same as a laptop or a desktop computer is (when I was a kid there was plenty of bullying that went on via AIM!)

Having access to e.g. Wikipedia is of enormous benefit to young people. Having the means to easily call your parents if you end up in an emergency situation is beneficial.

It's possible to use a smartphone without social media. It's possible to set up a child's smartphone in such a way that their access to social media is limited if not totally removed.

> There is so much instant dismissal of this entire idea that smartphones are harmful in this thread

IMO HN has always had a strong anti-censorship streak, usually for good reasons. But it starts to get a bit weird and fuzzy when kids are involved, as if protecting them from the harmful aspects of the internet is no different than big government censorship.

There's something similar for testosterone. Many, if not most, doctors use the current average testosterone levels to diagnose if a person has some kind of hypogonadism. But there are also doctors who use the historical baseline before the secular testosterone decline, and thus virtually every man who walks in their door gets meditated for low testosterone. Coincidentally the latter clinics tend to charge cash and present much more of a medi-spa than a clinical experience.
>> My main issue with these hot takes is that it doesn't help, as smartphone aren't going away.

They could go away. We regulate lots of harmful things that young people want access to. Most commonly alcohol and cigarettes. It could become illegal for anyone under 16 to be in possession of a smartphone (or anyone over x to give/sell a smartphone to anyone under x years). Social networks could be fined for every single person under x years that signs up.

In the heart of Cajun country Louisiana there are AM stations that still broadcast in French and play Cajun music.

Update 2: thanks for the reply actually. I went back through the entire thread and realized somehow my comment replied to the parent comment. I was not trying to respond this the parent comment. I was trying to respond to a sub comment on the parent comment that someone said the major denominations all engage in political activity during elections. I realize my comment looked extreme now because it was out of context. This was not my intent. Thanks for responding. And you were absolutely correct.
I don't think you can count of any company not to have layoffs, that's quite dependant on the economy, company performance, sector, etc.

If a company promised no layoffs ever, I wouldn't believe them. But if they promised to continue WFH, I'd believe them, since that's directly under their control.

Do you really want the full (gigantic) primer on AI X-risk in hackernews comments? Because a lot of these questions have answers you should be familiar with if you're familiar with the area.

For instance, can you guess what Yudkowsky would answer to that last question?
> But when it makes logical sense why there would be correlation, there is no way to actually measure causation

You can also get causation and correlation reversed. Think about it: "The longer a teen uses (per day) smartphone the more he/she is depressed" could also be "The more depressed teens tend to have more smartphone use per day because they are depressed".

Narrowing the task space results in better performance in the short run / with small cheap models, but worse performance in the long run. The model overspecializes and loses any generalizable capabilities because they are not necessary - like the old joke about how professors are like sea squirts, as soon as they get tenure they digest their brains as unnecessary. If you provide the model with adequate scale, the more diverse and challenging the problems, the better (https://gwern.net/scaling-hypothesis#blessings-of-scale).

So, if you trained a LLM on ACE only (and you somehow had enough to begin with), then it would fail to learn so many things. For example, it wouldn't learn about prose style, or other languages, or different speakers and identities.

It is even worse because the participants in the survey were not randomly selected. They instead must choose to visit the Sapiens Labs website to complete the survey. Taking the survey is encouraged through advertising.

I can't say for certain but I imagine that voluntarily visiting a website to complete a mental health survey might appeal more to those with mental health issues thus skewing the data. Also you may have some people that visit to purposely give false data. Very much not unheard of in internet polls. I have no real idea how much either of these have affected the data but it makes me very suspect of the data. If you can't trust the data you can't trust any studies based upon it.

Its even easier now with the websites that do it.

There's nothing inherent about getting older that will keep you from being able to keep up with the young guns. It's just a matter of interest, as it is at any age.
Giving children and teens unfettered access to social media and the internet seems to be more of a problem to me than any particular piece of hardware. The cell phone I had access to as a teen was a flip phone from Virgin Mobile that ran on "minutes". There was no web browser, no apps. I used it for texting and calling.

It's up to parents to control access to the content (unfortunately, the tools and hardware that exist for this sucks, which is unfortunate). So if you're dropping an unlocked iphone into your kids lap and walking away, well then maybe you're putting them at risk and neglecting them (which might be further causing mental health issues.)

My daughter is young now, but I will eventually run into this as she gets older. I've thought about this issue and I plan to lock down the content (either via software or targeted hardware) until she's an adult.

The police are allowed to "surveil" protected speech, unless you want to ban them from reading the newspaper.

I really don't see the issue. This is information people knowingly release to the public, so the cops are not spying on anyone. A protest is a potential security threat, which is why the cops always show up. I see no evidence this information was abused to try to prevent people from expressing their opinions. What am I supposed to be upset about?

Also, as you very well know, the large majority of the Federal budget goes to social services like healthcare and social security. The entire DoJ budget is a drop in the ocean. Slashing federal budgets will do nothing to eliminate this sort of program but will result in Granny living on the street.
LobbyFacts – Exposing lobbying in European institutions
400 commands where "turn on X" is one and "turn off X" is two.

With Home Assistant this means turning on and off two hundred entities. We currently pull light and switch entities from Home Assistant and build the local Multinet speech grammar.

We have goals for better dynamic and adaptive configuration of Willow and part of that is using a Willow Home Assistant component with user configuration inthe HA dashboard, etc to easily select entities, define commands, etc and dynamically update all associated Willow devices.

We feel that with this 400 commands is enough to be practical and useful. Additionally, because the Multinet model returns probability on match to command "fuzzy matching" actually works quite well where "light", "lights", and slightly mis-worded commands still match correctly.

There are a number of countries that are not officially listed as having nuclear weapons, but probably do, because of how easy they are to build in the 21st century. Japan is one common example of a state that is officially not a nuclear state, but people generally consider them de facto one anyhow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_nuclear_weapons_progr...

I mean, ultimately, we're talking about a device that was built nearly 90 years ago. They've only gotten easier to build since then. Absent international regulation and oversight, a motivated startup and modestly-well-funded startup could put them together today, no problem. Not the deluxe MIRV ICBMs nation states have, but something on par with the ones used in WWII? No problem.

That kind of dramatic industrial espionage just isn’t very common outside of fiction. Uranium enrichment really is that difficult due to the precision required to build gaseous centrifuges and the nasty hydrofluoric acid chemistry involved. ITAR and other restrictions on sale of advanced machinery has much more effect than espionage - the latter is more likely to spread the technology like with Dr Khan and Pakistan/North Korea

On top of that, uranium is naturally 99.3% is non-fissile so you need tons of yellowcake to produce a small amount of weapons grade uranium, which requires crazy amount of power for the centrifuges.

Also, the quality of the summaries and emails must be good (clear, readable) but not necessarily great (we're not looking to win a Pulitzer here).

It's the perfect kind of task for GPT.
