In Chevron, the Supreme Court set forth a legal test as to when the court should defer to the agency’s answer or interpretation, holding that such judicial deference is appropriate where the agency’s answer was not unreasonable, so long as Congress had not spoken directly to the precise issue at question.

This is the SCOTUS ruling that gave administration so much power in 1984, so it's relatively new. The validity of it is currently being heard in:

The case was correct, but I misspelled "van" as "von"... how embarassing! Fixed on the website.
A “superhuman” AI is just a machine, a very expensive one. It can be turned off and we control the outputs it has. Why would an AI have the ability to launch nuclear weapons unless we gave it a button? A “superhuman” intelligence is without a body, so we control any interfaces it has access to. The Internet could be accessed, but any attempt to “hack” through the Internet is met by routine packet defenses. The AI is still governed by physical laws and would only have so much “free” computation power to do things like script a hack. Perhaps it could do that kind of thing more efficiently.

Maybe in the far, far future when we have androids which can house an AI we will have to worry. But designing a body is one problem. Designing an intelligence is another.

The term "cash reserves" is not a standard accounting term or classification. "Cash reserves" is commonly used to refer to funds set aside by a company or organization for specific purposes, such as contingencies, future investments, or working capital needs. These reserves are typically considered as part of a company's cash and cash equivalents.

Under GAAP, cash (and cash equivalents) includes currency on hand, deposits in bank accounts, and any highly liquid investments that have an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase

There's often a crucial difference in the nature of "revenue": With nonprofits it's often a voluntary contribution ("donation").

Donations and equity raises are not taxable income.

I think the trick is, our computational steps are massively parallel. Take the visual system. By the time you notice - consciously - the pothole you're about to drive into, it's already processed into high-level concepts.

Our visual senses aren't camera feeds - the image we are aware of isn't raw input from the eyes, but rather it's generated out of some combination of raw inputs, low-level hacks to hide limited FOV and discontinuities caused by saccades, and higher-level interpretations based on how we feel, what seems to fit the context based on our prior experiences, etc.

I think it makes sense to assume that this process has many extra off-ramps that can trigger high-level reactions while bypassing conscious awareness. I.e. imagine that half-way through the post-processing stack, the relevant parts of the brain are somewhat convinced you're looking at a fast-moving object about to hit you in the face. There's a point at which it makes sense for the brain to make your body start a dodging move, even if it may be a misprediction, rather than waste a few dozen milliseconds to make sure, at the risk of getting a ball (or a rock, or a fist) up your nose.
You clearly know nothing about the alignment field since you are throwing together two groups of people that have nothing in common.

That's a slightly different thing - a reserve account is what you've correctly linked, but what people here are talking about is just a basic balance sheet categories of cash and marketable securities;

https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0000320193/386e8c0...

So they have $25 billion in cash/cash equivalents (T-bills), $31 billion in "Current Marketable Securities" which are just those that are liquid this year so short-term debt and the like, and then $110 billion in long-term marketable securities which can be medium term bonds and other investments on a >1 year timeline.

Add those up and you get to $166 billion which is a good proxy for the amount of money they can invest today.
> How is Android not fulfilling your needs as a full Linux distro?

I mean there's a lot of things that make life difficult with Android.

* If you want most hardware to keep on working, no kernel updates are possible after the manufacturer ends support.

* Root support and service managers need to be installed aftermarket using the unofficial solution Magisk.

* No vendor kernel out of the box supports kernel compile time flags to enable the infrastructure to run Linux containers using Docker, Podman or LXC.

* Self-invented file hierarchy with a lot of restrictions that make sense from an Android UI perspective but are prohibitive when used as a regular distro.

* Since Android and drivers use bionic libc, it's not possible to run regular Linux binaries that tap into certain hardware features like Vulkan without reworking and recompiling them.

Just from the top of my head, there's a bunch of other things people could name I'm sure. Android misses a lot of the expectations people have for regular GNU/Linux distributions have - expectations that non GNU/Linux distros like Alpine do meet for the most part.
At that point, why not extend it all the way to the individual? Everyone deserves their own model.

The right choice for Iran is to stay close enough to completion of a bomb that it's a very credible threat to stave off US regime change; while staying far enough away to not provoke Israel into a preemptive attack. So it's not a technology calculation, but a geo political one.
Agreed.

My solution was to subscribe to one reasonable newspaper (Washington Post). Between that, free BBC content, and NPR, I think I get a reasonable overview of world and local news.

But, that does mean I miss breaking investigative news from other sources. At least until it's picked up elsewhere or made available elsewhere. It's a bummer at time, but paying for a large subset of possible news sources would cost 10x+ what I pay now.

Mostly same experience here. However there are a few things I did it worked kinda well for:

- Suggesting and writing YouTube shorts scripts about facts. However these turned out very sensationalised and less factual.

- I have a website with categories based on real world things. In the past I paid hundreds of dollars for mediocre short descriptions. With ChatGPT I paid $0.04 for good and long descriptions.

- I experimented with automated blog articles. It doesn't work for me because of their 'morals' but if you write boring articles about non controversial things without any opinions it works better than any (cheap) paid writer I had so far.

So far I haven't had a single coding issue I thought GPT could help me. I don't understand the buzz either.

Yet intersex exists.

This can affect how people prefer to express themselves.

I see friends taking parenting courses, and raising their kids 'by the rules'. It seems so mechanical, and, from the behavior I see it isn't working very well either, just and endless battle against 'the rules'.

My kids are a bit older now, and looking back I see intuition is important in raising kids. You know your own boundaries, and can be strict about them, but you also love your kids, and can even enjoy and laugh seeing them push against rules and discovering their the world. A nice read on this is 'French children don't throw food' [1]

Trusting yourself and your kids makes you less likely to be angry or scream at them. I found raising your voice in many cases just means you don't trust yourself and you don't trust that your kids respect you.

ChatGPT has zones of competence and your opinion of ChatGPT is likely to be a function of whether or not its competence zones overlap with what you are doing.

Early on, ChatGPT knocked a bunch of highly technical questions I sent it out of the park. It trivially reproduced insight from hours of diving through old forums and gave me further info that eventually proved out. More recently, it has completely hallucinated responses to the last 3 technical questions I gave it in its familiar "invent an API that would be convenient" style. It's the same ChatGPT, but two very different experiences as a function of subject.

> look at the dogs in the street

I wonder why there are so many dogs in the street ;-)

There's nowhere where dogs are "natural." They're a species that was bred to the whims and desires of humans, almost always to the detriment of their evolutionary fitness.
Ok, I'll spell out what I meant. One of the possible scenarios where, centuries after GAI was created, there would still be humans (recognizable to us as such) alive, is the same as the reason why horses and pigs and cows are alive today - because they're bred as inputs to some industrial process.
> Why have Americans always been unable to pronounce the intervocalic T?

In this and most cases there isn't really another word that would fit in context. Also plenty of other dialects (i.e. Australian English) do exactly the same thing.

> I'm an author; I love horseback writing?

I'm this case, "riding" and "writing" have a marked difference in the length of the initial diphthong sound "ai".

I general American English is nowhere near the most ambiguous in this way. Many languages rely more heavily on context because they use ambiguous phonological and grammatical marking in common speech (i.e. spoken Japanese).

A lot of people will likely blame APIs etc, but that’s just an easy scapegoat for people outside the game dev industry.

The reality is likely just market share, hardware and the makeup of that market share.

Macs used to actually be a big gaming platform once upon a time. Myst was a Mac exclusive (built with HyperCard) and Bungie used to make games for macs first before getting bought by Microsoft.

But windows got the upper edge:

1. Much larger slice of the market

2. More of the market is made up of gaming enthusiasts than Macs which are usually either targeting light use, education or professional.

3. You can make affordable gaming PCs with windows. You can’t really do it with any kind of Mac because there’s no product for that market between the Mac Mini and iMac (which were targeted at more casual users) up to the Mac Pro and iMac Pro (which were targeted at professional users)

It’s easier to target the biggest piece of the pie and the one that will buy your products.

That’s why the “API” reason never makes sense, because iOS is THE dominant gaming platform despite having the same APIs as a mac. Game engines often need to support multiple graphics APIs anyway.

So Mac gaming did take off, but it fumbled and never recovered. Part of that is that Apple themselves fumbled as a company, on the verge of bankruptcy before the return of Jobs. What made them successful post his return is also what killed gaming on their platforms: they targeted a different audience.
Perhaps it's the case that the "culture war" isn't a thing media "goes in" on... It's a thing that's happening, and media can either choose to report it or pretend it's not occuring?
