dogs can take all sorts of human prescriptions, including allergy meds and pain meds. also OTC like benadryl. it's kind of mind blowing. of course, some meds will simply kill them, so uh, do your research.
You don’t need to ask the LLM where the email came from or provide the LLM with the email address. You just take the subject and the body of the email and provide that to the LLM, and then take the response from the LLM along with the unaffected email address to make the API calls…

addTodoItem(taintedLLMtranslation, untaintedOriginalEmailAddress)

As for summaries, don’t allow that output to make API calls or be eval’d! Sure, it might be in pig latin from a prompt injection but it won’t be executing arbitrary code or even making API calls to delete Todo items.

All of the data that came from remote commands, such as the body of a newly created Todo item, should still be considered tainted and and treated in a similar manner.

These are the exact same security issues for any case of remote API calls with arbitrary execution.
I love dogs, but aren't there bigger issues in this world that we should focus on first?

Millions of children on this planet are malnourished or suffering because of wars, climate change or just bad government. Is it ethical to pay a fortune for magnetic brain stimulation of your dog, if somewhere else in the world several people's lives could be saved with that money?
That argument is solely about weight loss but there are many other reasons like cardiovascular fitness (keeping in theme with the article), or overall fitness level that lead to to better outcomes.
No buy? What does that mean?
Likely the same as they think about fb, microsoft, netflix, amazon-tech, uber, etc: employees are probably handsomely paid, and taxes probably aren't.

Actually as a factoid, I recently changed jobs, and got handed an iphone for work. People noticed it and commented on it, whereas a pixel would probably have not raised much attention.
the parent said "everyone". there are about 5 billion people over 20. 2 billion is quite conservative.

as for your link. iphones are popular, but it's definitely not true that "everyone" has an iphone, which is my point. android has almost 4 billion active users, for comparison.
Agreed, but I think the better response to this is: "We should try to create AIs that are aligned to society's shared values, not particular subcultures", and not "We should create subculture-specific AIs".
I'm not a part of this space personally so I can't say for certain, but one answer could be the not-PCs and cloud. Some people find a tablet with a keyboard perfectly adequate for their all-office needs. Even if the "sys-admins" still need PCs that is still a very substantial conversion of the market share away from PCs. If you reflexively scream at the notion of how horrible that would be for your working process, I do not blame you but note it could work for some.
Interesting. Is there a way to shape it to topics you care about? It's all about Sudan and Ukraine, which while globally important I'm much more interested in local (Australian) news / tech news.
The Catholic Church is also responsible for more violence, "holy" wars, death and harm then Hitler, Mao Zedong, Stalin and whoever else you want to add to the list combined.
> E.g., I don’t at all understand the linkage between current events and the schism between the Catholic Church and Protestants denoms.

His point is that LLMs are a disruptive technology at the level of the printing press. The power structure most famously disrupted by the printing press was that of the Catholic Church.

EDIT: Yeah this isn't what he's saying. His analogy is more like the major LLM companies like OpenAI or Google are like the Catholic Church which is being disrupted by European regulations which are like the protestants. Or the opposite. He literally says both ways as possibilities. And in this analogy the open models (the refinements of the 'leaked' LLaMa models which can fit on a single GPU) are like the wacky persecuted fringe sects which were exiled to the United States and which he thinks shouldn't be called as either Catholic or Protestant. At the end he says "This is, admittedly, a rather speculative and far-reaching Article" which I have to agree.
HumanRF: High-Fidelity Neural Radiance Fields for Humans in Motion
For me the most annoying config of all is the justMyCode flag in the python debugger. I wish I could disable that globally rather than per project.
Having it globally makes serialisation of the state possible and it can be useful for testing. having no hard line between global and local state can speed up development.

the issue is that current frameworks make global state awkward to pass around. if this were fixed then global has all of the advantages.

>in a certain part of the world

What country's culture doesn't involve lots of violent stories? The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Bible, the Qur'an, the Bhagavad Gita, Norse Mythology, the Odyssey, it's hard to think of any famous work of ancient literature that doesn't involve a nontrivial amount of violence.
(As I always point out...) This is known as the "Dead Sea Effect" and it was traditionally associated with companies like IBM but now we're seeing it across the board with tech layoffs. The best people know they have options and they have a good network so once a company starts showing signs of slowing down they bail out.

As a parent who has had to do a bunch of this work, I think a big missing piece in much of the dialogue around it is understanding how exactly the “gentle” style of engagement isn’t just indulging, tolerating, excusing, and even rewarding bad behaviour.

The official word is that adopting a gentle and emotionally aware stance has to be paired with a strong sense of boundaries, but it’s often very unclear how to differentiate between which part of the response to a given situation should be the boundary (“we don’t speak like that in this family; I won’t be responding until you talk to me in a respectful way”) vs the emotional deep dive (“it sounds like you’re processing some big feelings right now, let’s talk about what’s going on for you”).

Instead of engaging with the truly challenging parts of the approach, a lot of advocates model kind of what’s in the parent post— condescension, dismissal, and an assumption that the other party is simply unable or unwilling to learn how to do something that’s obviously superior.
These laws make more sense if one reads them as "heuristics", which is what they are.
> and perhaps less about how the output of some predictions might hurt some feelings.

Given how easy "hurt feelings" escalate into real-world violence (even baseless rumors have led to lynching murder incidents [1]), or the ease with which anyone can create realistically-looking image of anything using AI, yes, companies absolutely have an ethical responsibility about the programs, code and generated artifacts they release and what potential for abuse they have.

And on top of that, companies also have to account for the potential of intentional trolling campaigns. Deepfake porn using the likeness of a celebrity? Deepfake media (pictures, porn, and now audio) alleging that a politician has had sexual encounters with minors? AI-generated audio comments suggesting a politician made racially charged remarks that spark violent unrest?

The limiting factor is access to materials, tools, instruments, and "engineering capabilities". Access to these can be controlled. Joe's machine shop can not gain access to plutonium, or enough uranium to enrich to build a bomb.

“Ok but that means there would be more such objects, for every level before mastery right?”

If bronze is expensive, then poor quality versions could simply be melted down to raw material.

I like this idea. And I struggle to imagine the scenario, because it seems like it would also have social aspects which we can’t know without written testimony.

If the metal is expensive, how is to valued compared to other goods? In the modern world we have tons of stuff, but to what degree is this the same in the ancient Roman world? Who pays it’s cost? If you’re an apprentice could you afford to keep it—especially if you’re not very good (haha).
Exactly, they added an flag to enable total store ordering to help x86 instructions map cleanly to ARM instruction.

Considering how fast Apple M series can emulate x86 it's clearly not worth adding much more hardware than what they have now.
My dad is exactly the same. Range anxiety!!! so I show him the map of level 3 chargers in north america and ask if he's driving to the arctic circle or something. Obviously not.

The actual thing happening is proving that arguing with anyone is literally pointless. You can never convince anyone of anything. You can never teach anyone anything.

There are critical details which can be overlooked in the declassified documents which effect everything from yield to whether the bomb works or not.

Examples.

- initiators in fission devices

- explosive lenses in fission devices (what’s the exact mix/shape/required explosive payload?

- large scale manufacture of high grade plutonium. What’s the exact effect of plutonium purity on yield/function?

- how effective of a reflector is required for the teller ullman design? What’s the effect of manufacturing error on the ellipses?

There are more, but any one of these questions would require time, money, and expertise to resolve.

> I always find that if I want to write an app in the Elm style (or with Redux), I have to traverse up the tree every time I am working on a leaf node. Each input field in a form should not necessarily cause me to have to rework everything up to the root node right? Am I doing it wrong, or am I just missing what benefits this approach brings to offset this extra development cost?

In Elm specifically, you should not have state in the form elements. They should only have component-specific update functions like "Checked" / "Unchecked" that are mapped to form level messages and of course the view function.

We kind of have it, except it does not seem to have taken off and has been relegated to a second-class citizen at best.

I am talking about LLVM Bitcode[0] – when the binary product (a executable or .o/.a files) is shipped in the LLVM IR representation and then is «AOT»'d into the final product (a final executable) that can, for instance, take advantage of the latest ISA features (armv9, Zen23, POWER18 or new RISC-V extensions) with zero effort on the end user part. For a while, Apple even encouraged iOS devs to upload their apps into the App Store in the Bitcode format. That has all but ceased to exist for not obvious reasons about a year or two ago. Technically, if Apple chose to transition onto an alternative ISA again (say, RISC-V), at least iOS apps would not require recompilation and would get statically converted to the new ISA at the download time.

Imagine a world where there would be a single Linux distribution for a given architecture shipped in the Bitcode format (sans the small arch specific boot area and the AOT engine), for instance.

Ok you are the best person to as a question that has lingered for some time.
What do you do with your stuff when you are traveling around the city? I know it's frowned upon but there are still a lot of people who leave their shopping and personal items in a car instead of lugging it around to different places. Cars have become lockers or sorts.

as a former business owner (good exit, so no bitterness here) all i can say is good riddance, and i hope they take a massive haircut as an industry.

they're the biggest pricks i've ever dealt with in running my business. 'arrogant' doesn't even begin to describe the attitude they had in the 2015-2020 time period. and they are literally no fun at parties. even the front desk receptionists were arrogant, WHILE I WAS LITERALLY HANDING THEM CHECKS. mind blowing.

example in another industry - think of all the restaurants you've ever loved that have had to close their doors because of asshole corporate landlords, for no other reason than to avoid setting a precedent for lower rents even when it wasn't financially necessary.

I'm not sure who claimed the brain was a "predictive engine" or what that means exactly. The OP specifically referenced predictive coding which describes precisely what is meant, and has empirical support.

If you meant this as a comparison to machine learning, then a predictive coding model closely matches.
Maybe that's the power of ChatGPT. That it is so adaptable to very individual use cases that people can apply to it to precisely their context.
Some of Google's success comes from being "free". It's not necessarily because consumers believe Google has the best services/products.

It's hard for a software company to compete against the largest ad network ever created.
Preach, maybe there is a way to alter the "template" launch.json
I think that's the big success of GPT. Imagine if you asked "what's your favorite type of a Google query", nearly everyone would have a different answer. In particular a substantial percentage of Google queries are only ever asked once.
The only evolutionary strategy at play here is dog breeders.

Also, it’s important not to overly anthropomorphize evolution. It’s not as though animals are choosing their evolutionary strategy, so I find this language misleading.
No, they are saying that a discussion about sex and violence is going to trigger a discussion about sex and violence instead of a discussion about alignment. The irony is that trying to avoid those topics resulted in a (hopefully brief) discussion about sex and violence instead of a discussion about alignment.

ETA and now it’s gone, fair enough too.
Textbook (caricatural) whataboutism [1], that's why you are probably getting downvoted.

One of the problem with this argument being that it's not the same set of people that can/will work on these separate issues, and solving one does not prevent solving the other one. Also, the money spent for one issue would not necessarily go to the other issue anyway: they are not linked.

Structural issues with our worldwide distribution of wealth system are causing climate change and poverty, not taking care of the dogs, and this is what needs to be fixed.

Even Bard shows the sources, pretty impressive.
I agree, and this is why I believe that issues like this can only be fixed with regulation. Markets not only can't solve them, they actually reward exploitation. It's way more efficient from a product standpoint, and the only thing that's needed to quell the public response is just to remove the abuse far enough from them, so that no real feedback loop can form.
Not a proper source, but have you ever met someone with undiagnosed ADD and wondered why do they drink obscene amounts of coffee or energy drinks? It's a self-medication; it makes it much easier to focus.

Thank you.
Correct me if I'm wrong, you are replying to the part where the gp says

> It's pretty ironic, for people who are supposedly so concerned about "alignment" and "morality" to threaten others

right? If not, please ignore my comment.

> People who are worried about alignment issues are worried about the danger unaligned AI poses to humanity

If you do not see any evidence regarding such threats, though...

> There is nothing "ironic" about being worried about that while also being an asshole

You may actually see the assholes being a bigger threat to humanity (or human progress, or both), so at least this, IMHO, adds a dimension of irony.
There's only so much you can do to keep an 80 year old technology developed with slide rules from being reverse engineered by a dedicated group of scientists with the benefit of 80 years of advancements in physics and access to a supercomputer (ie an iPhone).

>We should try to create AIs that are aligned to society's shared values, not particular subcultures

That's quite a hard task nowadays; given how polarised society is (at least in the US), the list of shared values may be quite small.
Yes, obviously there are bigger issues in the world to focus on than dog anxiety.

But if this is your acid test for ethical living then you’re going to quickly discover that everyone with disposable income lives unethically. Which is honestly probably true but nobody wants to hear it.
I honestly don’t mind that it’s opaque and non democratic
Not sure I see how. Components appear to return DOM nodes, but as far as I can see they’re not provided an existing DOM structure to inspect. So they can’t be sure how to safely reuse existing DOM, as they don’t control what the parent will do with the nodes they return.

Working from the office is a management strategy. It goes like this:

If you work remote, you have to actually write down things, like 1. who your workers are, 2. what the teams are, 3. where they are, 4. how to contact them, 5. what they're working on, 6. who else they depend on or who depends on them, etc. There are a lot of new tools to learn, you have to learn how to ask for someones time and schedule time. That's a lot of work that managers don't want to do.

If you work from the office, you mostly have to: 1. walk around the office and ask someone. Interrupt whatever they're doing to ask anything you want anytime. Of course, there may be many offices, but then you call the other offices and ask the secretary to go around and ask people.

It's also very easy when wfh to accidentally leave a paper trail or records of conversations you'd rather stay hidden. In an office you can just talk in person with no record.

Wfh is a right that white collar workers are gonna have to fight for, the way all unions have had to fight for the rights workers deserve. Don't threaten to quit, threaten to unionize.
Is it important to not overly anthropomorphize dogs and cats? Because that’s far more common than doing so for evolution.

A lot of this just sounds like... dog training? Gradually getting them used to things with positive reinforcement.

I do think though that dog's can pick up on their owners emotions. If you're thinking "Oh no, I'm going to leave Fido alone for three hours I'm really worried he's going to rip the house up or be really upset when I'm gone." rather than "I'm just nipping out. Fido sleeps most of the day anyway and will be fine." then the dog will pick up on that and become anxious.
I would assume the opposite. Childhood obesity probably correlates very strongly to obesity in adulthood. What you are observing is probably just an overall trend in society and not specific to jocks.
