I in no way support the chinese political system, but the one we have in the west (EU for me), made average rent higher than an average pension while buying is impossible for a huge percent of people due to overinflated prices. I used to live in a communist country (still live here, just the country doesn't exist anymore), and out of all the bad things they did, atleast they knew how to build affordable housing.
It's hard to argue they underestimate the costs when they have costed, deployments listed you can check that back up the costs. See page 21 and 22 of the linked PDF.

But if you choose not to believe them there are numerous other sources that give the similar numbers.

I've known ESR and RMS (who he's made his career trying to destroy) for well over 35 years, so I can testify that ESR has always been insufferably narcissistic, arrogant, and smarmy, but 9/11 sent him over the deep end of racism, islamophobia and misogyny (google "Is the casting couch a fair trade?").

His software work is unremarkable (fetchmail is trivial and buggy, and CML2 was rejected by the Linux kernel developers), and he's made his career not by writing software but by attacking real hackers like Richard Stallman and trying to bring down their work, not by actually constructively developing any useful software himself. Attacking real hackers and trying to discourage people from using "free software" isn't "hacking".

He used to call himself "Eric the Flute", and he would go on and on ad nauseum about his beloved "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle NetNews Reader" and how it was so much better than every other netnews reader. But he never collaborated with anyone, and he never released it under any license. Much more Bizarre than Cathedral.

I'm not sure where it was originally used, but the attention mechanism in GPT was pretty important for making it all work.
When you ask stuff that has a specific answer that's easy to google for, but for whatever reason ChatGPT doesn't have that in its internal model, it'll fall back on telling you when it was last updated and that it may not have the most recent info.

The data analysis is not straightforward. You would expect a driver's decision to use Autopilot to be correlated with the ability of the Autopilot to handle the conditions. So just comparing Autopilot accidents per mile to human accidents per mile won't cut it.
Those numbers are for individual donations; donors are legally required to disclose employer, but that doesn’t mean their employer was directing their donations.

To look at the “tech industry,” look at company-directed activity, primarily lobbying expenditures, corporate PAC donations, senior exec political donations, and especially the same categories at industry groups like trade associations. That picture is far more balanced between the parties.

BTW I would suggest looking elsewhere for your political info, Newsweek does terrible reporting on this stuff. The article you quote makes a basic mistake, confusing 98% of donations going to Democrats with 98% of employees giving to Democrats. Most Netflix employees did not make any political donations at all in 2020 (or indeed, ever).
> Brains do this in spades. Sense data you perceive is partly fabricated for the concious self.

You must be sprinting to move the goalposts that far that fast. I'm not talking about convenient sensory illusions or details of perception. I'm talking about ChatGPT telling bold-faced and obvious lies about things it said mere sentences earlier. Would you engage with my points instead of switching to totally unrelated topics like Hitler's single Jewish friend?

Humans are not perfectly rational beings and our memory is faulty, but we are broadly rational and have a generally consistent model of the world; LLMs are painfully inconsistent and exhibits wild bouts of irrationality, and this behaviour is totally in line with the way they are trained.

As stated in the article, he called her extremely biased against Tesla: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1450653942938054656?s=20

Out of context, the tweet is largely innocuous as plenty of people might tweet such things. However, immediately following that tweet Missy Cummings was harassed ferociously by the Tesla shareholder base as seen here [1].

One of the leaders of the petition immediately following the tweet was Omar Qazi of WholeMarsBlog who is such a rabid fan and shareholder that he sees no issue with endangering children to support Tesla’s stock price as seen here [2] and the corresponding article. He also advocates for harassing any critics with vicious, baseless accusations [3].

Even if we assume that Elon is not directly organizing the attacks or by proxy, he has deliberately shaped a shareholding fanbase who will at the slightest mention. And, even if we assume that such a virulent base was purely accidental, which it never is, public figures have a moral duty to consider the likely consequences of their actions or speech.

His followers, many of which he engages with and responds to on Twitter such as the aforementioned Onar Qazi, are well known to viciously attack people he identifies as critics. These are not fringe elements, but the core of his fanbase. His actions are all but guaranteed to result in harassment of his critics, which is to his benefit, and he makes no effort to stop such interpretation, but rather harnesses it to suppress his opponents.

There was even some article about this for elevenlabs voice cloning specifically. Someone tried it and said it didn't sound like them, but all the friends said it sounded identical.

The point of evolutionary framing is not that we have evolved to think about these things, but that they are biologically ingrained such that they incline our entire experience of living without conscious thought.

I'm not sure it's possible to fix that "core problem".

In the example of an AI assistant managing your emails, users want to be able to give it instructions like "delete that email about flowers" or "move all emails about the new house build to a folder".

These control instructions are very context dependant on the data, and the LLM needs both to have any idea what to do about then.
"The Amazon" and some of the other habitats you mention, all very different in their ecologies (and especially their relationship to fire), have had very complex histories, but their co-history with humans must be seen as a recent history in relation to the evolutionary history of their core community structures and the tens of millions of species of which they are composed. Of course once we first arrived in South America, only about 20,000 years ago, we had quite profound impacts on the Amazon's species composition and distribution, but... that's a mere 20,000 years ago, and essentially all the species we see in today's Amazon were already there, just configured differently. Before that, there was certainly a highly biodiverse and to all intents modern Amazon pre-dating humans by millions of years, one in which, if we could go back, we could still find regions plainly characteristic of every major present-day Amazonian ecotype, minus humans. This applies even more so to the much more ancient central African and southeast Asian rainforests in which there are also some areas with no clear record of inhabitation. I have done fieldwork in such areas and am fine with the characterization that they present a "more pristine" state of ecological affairs, as would most biologists focusing on tropical forest ecology rather than anthropology. To claim all these habitats are intrinsically human-oriented ecosystems that have always been as dependent on us as we on them is myopic. That's a view of how things have to be going forwards. But to them we're a recent development.
I believe so - Narrow AI. It seems to be much easier to build than generalist models. Think all the protein folding, game playing, image classifying, machine translating, image captioning, super-intelligent AIs of the last decade. It’s not clear we really need super general models. Even LLMs can be topic specific.
I disagree that drivers should be assisted, and so does the interviewee in the article. She uses the phrase "risk homeostasis" to describe the phenomenon that if people feel they are getting helped they will engage in more risky behavior.

I think roads and cars should be made to look less safe than they are, so the average driver will pay more attention.

> The measure is expected to be signed into law by New York's mayor later this month. The effort received widespread support, passing 44-5, despite scepticism in some quarters.

I wonder who are these people? There are all these insane policies that I imagine 90% of random people would obviously think are ridiculous. Tabloids regularly like to run the rage bait article of some overweight person complaining they can't fit into a seat. Even this article doesn't bother bringing up the obvious. The sole objection to this idea is:

> New York City council's minority leader, Joseph Borelli, who is a Republican, told the New York Times he was worried the law would empower New Yorkers "to sue anyone and everything".

> "I'm overweight but I'm not a victim. No-one should feel bad for me except my struggling shirt buttons," he said.

The only argument that they add is an obvious strawman. And they bring up that he's Republican, while none of the other politician's political parties are named. There could be numerous issues about enforcement, how it would relate to the ADA that has standards (e.g. wheelchair width). Are we going to have standardized obesity, like chairs have to support X pounds or doors have to be wide enough to fit a waist line of Y?

There are all these weird social equity issues that most major media stations just make up that there's some kind of consensus. This became clear to me in a CNN article that just had this line:

> It's not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.

And the article was just a straight news about legislation relating to women's sports. They obviously got ridiculed and changed it the next day, but it just begs the question, what else are we being gaslit on? Who is writing these laws and why is there so much coordination and social engineering between these people and major news outlets?

While I don't think this necessarily has to be looked at thru a "sad" lense, what came to mind to me was the social isolation part of the equation.

It's kind of tragic that we (if I may speak on behalf of the USA) find ourselves living these [self-?]segregated lives. I love old people! There's so much to learn, so many stories. I love kids, too, because there's so much to [un/re?]learn about experiencing the world without decades of conditioning modulating perception and imagination. Yet the trail I circle every day intersects with none of theirs.

Many screeds about the decline of institutions like the Church or the Masons, Elks, intergenerational households — you name it - but I doubt we're going to do a 180 on that. So we have to imagine new possibilities.

I'm partial to at least two "culprits": highly car-centric culture (even in dense cities that are otherwise highly walkable), and the school system tradition of splitting student cohorts on an age basis.

There will be no silver bullet. We also can't (and shouldn't) lop off the tribal roots that influenced so much of our "wiring" as individuals of a highly cooperative species.

I would love to hear more ideas about what we could do to make everyone feel (be!) less isolated. Zoom/FaceTime doesn't cut it. There's no reason why an octogenarian ought to feel like their life is pointless because they're out of the workforce [per the article]. There's every chance for a meeting-of-minds between, say, a curious 8 year-old and a patient 88 year-old that would have an unknowably large impact on an unknowably far future.

Lots to think about.

The body of the article mentions this bill introduces height and weight to the list of protected characteristics.
I can't edit my original comment anymore, but my point in calling the article a troll is that an 'obvious' explanation for the phenomenon is some evolutionary reasons. Evolutionary reasons for human behavior are icky and unpalatable. We don't like to think of evolutionary explanations for feelings like love or hate or tribalism or to think of our biological or cultural evolution. The troll part comes in, where the article doesn't even acknowledge such a possibility, even to argue against it, maybe because they didn't want to be associated with any icky idea even by a mere mention and even if they are not supporting it.

I'll put an example of what the article sounds like if you have any education in anthropology like even college anthropology 101. The article sounds like one about a "hometown sports hero" who between junior and senior years somehow doubled their weight and bench pressing and began informally beating world records of weight lifting. Then the article goes on to give possible reasons for this difference like maybe they got strong support from their school and community and they are doing hard training and eating healthy food or maybe they are growing to become an adult or whatever. Anyway, almost any reader would think hmm maybe they are doing some steroids. That would be an example of the kind of 'troll article' that I meant. They avoid saying the obvious thing, even to refute it, because many would consider the idea as icky.
It came up when Armie Hammer was "outed" as a "cannibal". If you read what was actually said, he basically has a vore fetish, though from the secondhand accounts alone it didn't seem like his "accusers" had the right context or vocabulary.
You probably correctly noted the gap between the founder's understanding and the ability of the engineering team to articulate ongoing concerns.

Stepping past that, which they shouldn't, maybe in that gap, the founder picked a tool, perhaps prematurely. They also sought out a more experienced engineer to bridge the gap. Who knows if the engineering team even noticed the gap and attempted to improve communications somehow.

phind.com can probably do it way better than bard, it's basically gpt4 on steroids with Internet access. I find it easy better than bing, I use it for coding more than gpt4 now because it knows things like server actions for next 13.4+ which just launched.

so far I'm very unimpressed with bard and even bing chat, and I just got gpt4 browser plugin, so that might be better eventually but it's really slow.

yea just fixed!

yea Akshat from Modal also called out the debugger as the actually useful thing

i originally thought of it as a scaffolding tool. instead of making and maintaining specific, rigid starters, like create-react-app, or create-supabase-app, this is basically create-anything-app.

its horribly slow right now but give LLMs 1-2years of improvement and i think something like this will be the way to start out any project - develop a prompt in tandem with the AI, specifying everything and anything you want in the app... and abandoning the tool and taking over the codebase once you think you've tapped out the scaffolding capability.

that said i do agree the debugger may have more utility for existing codebases... however the main hurdle here is that both the 32k context from gpt4 and 100k context from anthropic are only in private beta. so will have to wait to see it fully play out.

> Right now, Apple Silicon tops out at 12 cores (8 performance and 4 efficiency). If I'm a data center, I'm going to likely prefer an AMD EPYC with 64 cores (and 128 threads) over an Apple M2 with 8 performance cores. I can slice that AMD EPYC into a lot more VMs.

I think it's worth calling out how important this is. Once you get past a certain die size and core count interconnect or "fabric" latency and bandwidth starts to have a much bigger impact on loads than core speed and throughput for code not optimized for that processor. Where M2 is... Apple doesn't have to deal with that at all. AMD on the other hand has gone all in, hence chiplet designs. But yeah Apple wants nothing to do with that, hence they seem to be going for very wide but limited core count designs.
