Rogue AI will result from poor maintenance procedures.

An AI built to run open ended workloads, but somehow ends up doing so in a harmful way, combined with a lack of engineers able to effectively diagnose the problem quickly enough, and the AI unable to be shutdown due to automated high reliability systems, means you end up with an AI losing $10 million dollars a minute and you only have 30 minutes before the entire company is bankrupt.

Interesting thoughts. I was actually going to say that _Uber_ had the advantage in this deal, since it owns the customer relationship and can shape demand toward or away from Waymo.

Google has a distribution channel via Android, but I don't think it's strong enough (otherwise Stadia would still be around). They'd still have to build a destination for consumers to remember, in addition to the interface, matchmaking, billing, etc.

I guess in any deal like this, there's the potential for advantage and disadvantage from both angles. As Clay said, a good compromise is one where both parties are dissatisfied.
Can you elaborate? On the one hand it's obviously true. On the other hand, because it's so obviously true, it's content free. One might as well say "If a language has a

* rock solid and performant compiler/interpreter

* rock solid and performant VM/run time system

* rock solid build tool

* large and helpful community

* wide array of free learning resources

* pragmatic approach to balancing new features with stability

it says a lot about the current status and culture of that language with regards to its capacity as a professional-grade general purpose programming language".

I'm a member of the Haskell community who takes an active interest in making Haskell more accessible for production use, so I'd be interested to know reasons, if any, we should prioritise the development of haskell-language-server above other parts of the ecosystem.

Yep makes total sense. I was shocked by how much they paid for it initially and could never justify that cost. 54 million seems more apt, but about 30 will be ok too.

Got any recommendations for non-neutered local models that perform well on an M1? I've been playing with some of the recent 7B and 13B models from the TheBloke on HuggingFace and they are not bad but not great.

There's VERY few population centers in the US where it's raining heavily >10% of the time.

The vast majority of rides in the US - and even in a place like Florida that's a swamp where it rains literally every day - happen under just fine conditions for Waymo.

This is fine for a taxi service.

If you make 10x as much profit in the vast majority of cases - you'll let someone else pick up the scraps in the edge cases.

It's almost as if Waymo & Uber considered weather...
Perhaps a stew doesn't need to show all the steps.

But a lot of recipes require you to multitask between several parallel workflows of ingredient preparation and combination, keeping you active in cooking until either the final step ("put everything except the garnish into the oven for X minutes") or until the recipe is complete.
Unless the kid also plays Roblox and has been a victim of their behavior he can't exactly sue the company behind it though, can he? Whereas if he actually has played the mobile version of Mario Kart he can.
About fifteen years ago one of my friends got suspended for bringing a knife in. He was going on a school trip and put his clothes in his camping backpack which always stored a small knife. The school searched the bags, looking for alcohol or something, and found the knife. The school had a zero tolerance policy, so no logic was applied.

I was really annoyed, so I cataloged all the knives already present in the school. I walked into the teachers break room (no one really noticed me): three kitchen knives on the drying rack. The wood shop had tons of sharp knife-like tools. Pointed scissors in the art room. A teacher noticed what I was doing and showed me the pen knife on their key chain. Most classrooms had a letter opener, box cutter, or similar at the teachers desk. I think I found thirty knives before I gave up.

Students need knives and sharp objects to learn. Controlling access is fine but eliminating knives if a fools errand.
You can easily tell by the sunk or deflated skin on the face. Compare the kid’s face and the dad’s face.

I wonder if there is a term for the subcutaneous fat or whatever that goes away as you age.
> USB cables generally doesn't work since getting Arch Linux to consistently detect and mount the phone's ssd is nigh impossible

You should add something about Arch Linux to your title. I have been transferring phone files (including photos) to and from my Windows computers using USB ever since I've had a camera in my phone, works great.
Because that's not how games work - they don't run "at minimum capabilities" and they run their game loop constantly, rendering graphics. This means that it will almost certanly saturate at least M1s GPU and probably at least one of P cores. At that stage, even the M1 starts drawing a lot of power which needs disspiation.

Also Civ 6s target GPU is much faster than any of the M1s (which, despite the marketing, are still mobile CPU/GPU SoCs, not high clocked 100W+ TDP desktop CPUs with a separate 100W+ TDP GPU) so you won't see it use less than maximum what GPU (and CPU) can handle.

Don't mix performance profiles of games with performance profiles of bursty desktop browser software running Electron.

Yes, all this AI generated content is only more, and only adds to the total body of creative works that humans can enjoy (if you're rich). Humans are still free to pursue their own creative passions, and can get the same fulfillment from them as before (if you're rich). We can all look forward to a future where even more of our needs are met even more cheaply and easily (if you're rich).

Sure, of all of the pathways previously available for humans to make a decent living and actually put a roof over their heads and food on their tables, most of them will no longer an option in a decade or two -- it was already extremely hard to make a living as a creative, and now it will be completely impossible. Nor will anyone be able to make a living driving a truck, doing landscape design, writing ad copy, writing basic code, working in a factory, optimizing a factory, designing a factory, or building a factory. Only owning things will make you money; everyone else will be competing tooth-and-nail for the few remaining ways to serve you that still require a human. Obviously those poorsies won't be able to pursue their creative passions anymore, since they're working 80 hours per week in the vain hope that their children will be able to escape the cycle of poverty. But fuck those guys: you're rich! You can play guitar all fuckin' day if you want.

You are rich, right? Right?
Bengio mentions that open source is playing a leading role in AI advancements these days. So maybe it's more accurate to view open source as the corporation at the forefront. I mention this only because it's interesting to contemplate the corporate motivations of the open source community versus a traditional for-profit corporation. I know it will be a stretch for some people to imagine open source as a corporation but if you stick to Bengio's definiton ("building blocks (humans) are cogs in the machine who for the most part may not always perceive the consequences of the corporation’s overall behavior") then it'll be easier to see what I'm getting at.

I have used a number of different slow cooker brands over the years. Most were Crock-pot brand, but I've used others. I've never been able to tell the difference.

Sure there are tools where brand matters, but in the case of a slow cooker I'm putting the burden back on you: find me any brand that is actually inferior or better than the others. I don't think you can.

Non-slow-cooker things like a pressure cooker (ie instant-pot) with a slow cooker function are inferior to a real slower cooker, but they don't claim to be a slow cooker either.
I didn't assert anything except for what was in the comment. I linked to the Wikipedia article which has a lot of different viewpoints.

If anything I was just trying to suggest that the mind (or soul) and body aren't completely separate things as some religious or pre-scientific viewpoints might hold (touched on in part of the Wikipedia article I linked to).

Maybe I didn't do a great job of stating where I was coming from.

You sound like Donald Hoffman when he was on the Lex podcast. I agreed with a lot of things he said.. I mean the idea that literally reducing things to smaller and smaller particles is not the ultimate explanation of things makes total sense. Along with the idea of using these mathematical exotic geometries instead or something.

Where he loses me is going from embryos to humans that are somehow dictating the shape of reality. We have great explanations for development and evolution. But there doesn't seem to be a good explanation at all for how fully formed minds somehow shape reality in the past. Or how this works with less intelligent life.

I'm not the person you asked but I also am a very fast home cook due to professional cooking background.

The job is the training in that kind of work. No one comes out of culinary school particularly fast and even most serious cooks don't go anyway. Cooks change restaurant often and every restaurant is a completely different set of foods and techniques.

Training may teach you how to do something but doing it for hours a day months straight is where you learn to do it fast. A skilled cook at the prep table is looking at it like an F1 pit crew basically. What physical motions am I about to perform, what can be set up in advance and where should it go to reduce extraneous movement, what are the intermediate steps that can be batched together etc. There's never enough time for all the work you need to get done in the kitchen, so every day is a challenge to optimize your efficiency more than the previous one.

Basically you can teach someone the right way to dice an onion but they won't be truly fast at it until they've diced a few thousand onions. Apply that to every task in the kitchen over a decade and you're pretty quick by the end of it.
That website justifies Elm's release cycle by saying that the language evolves slowly and that's a good thing, but you and they are conflating the bug fix release cycle with the feature release cycle.

I don't think people would be saying Elm is dead if there were regular bug fix patches coming out and we were on v0.19.21. The reason why people are declaring Elm dead isn't because new features haven't been added in two and a half years, it's because there hasn't been a bug fix update in two and a half years.

Sure, the language is stable in that it doesn't change, but stable can also mean bug-free, and Elm is certainly not stable enough to justify going that long without a single bug fix.

Google Maps has had this for 6y: https://www.uber.com/newsroom/googlemaps/

In the mobile app it used to be a tab at the top ("rideshare services") but now it's at the bottom of the public transit tab ("also consider").

One of the differences in the US is that evidence obtained by espionage is rarely admissible in court. Often spying bypasses constitutional and legal protections and renders evidence unusable. In the US, cases get dismissed all the time because evidence was "fruit of the poisonous tree" where law enforcement attained evidence unconstitutionally or illegally. This evidence is not allowed in court. This often renders the work of agencies like the CIA, DIA and NSA fairly useless BUT NOT ALWAYS useless for law enforcement. A lot of the problem with FISA and PATRIOT act is they create loopholes in the line between espionage and law enforcement.
I hope the people who make these kind of decisions will get prison time. It's much easier saying sorry than asking for permission and some people exploit it on the back of the society, no less

> I always thought music theory describe fundamental, physical truths that humans intuitively discovered.

There _are_ some fundamental physical truths in music (related to overtones, wavelengths, etc), but the funny thing is that most of our "music theory" has actually had to bodge those truths a bit to accommodate variety and playability.

(For example, listen to a major third on a just intoned instrument versus an equal temperament instrument like a guitar!)
I mean, how do I even know what I say before I said it? Speaking is such a social act, you can definitely pan out and say a few words (even if it's fillers) before your brain catches up and you create a plan. And then you adjust your plan based on audience response. The obsession with precision is strange. Vagueness in spoken language is a feature, not a bug. It makes social situations easier to navigate if you have an "out".

> it illustrated one of the big fears behind the government’s zeal to regulate A.I.: that the technology could be used to stoke panic and sow disinformation, with potentially disastrous consequences

> Within minutes, internet sleuths began to debunk the image

> global governments should consider creating a regulator, akin to the International Atomic Energy Agency, that can inspect, audit and when necessary restrict systems that go beyond a certain level of capability. “Governance of the most powerful systems, as well as decisions regarding their deployment, must have strong public oversight,” Altman and his colleagues write.

So the theory is: Chicken littles panic about AI. But the panic is formless. "AI is powerful its going to change the world, we need to do something." But obviously do what isn't what they people think about. Because they dont understand they just panic and fear.

So now there is some stupid ideas like pausing, or limiting compute, or dataset size, or deployments. All stupid and obviously unworkable. People obsess over LLMs but I would be willing to bet a $1000 that a model trained only on something like object recognition and captioning would have emergent capabilities like a GPT at enough scale.

Neural networks build models of the world, models of the world are useful for planning and computation. Computation is isomorphic to reality. QED. You can't stop the tide.
You many want to study how to make educated guesses. This are sometimes called back of the napkin calculations or Fermi estimation problems.

There is one course on MIT Opencourseware that teaches it: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-098-street-fighting-mathemati...

The book used in the course is also very good. The author is the same as the course instructor Prof Sanjoy Mahajan.
While not preferred, I could tolerate slices. I could pick them out a lot easier than diced up small.
You're right on the UX. But not just the UX, eeeeverything was polished with little details put into place around every turn. Nothing else was like it at that scale.
"which was what the original poster was talking about."

Nope. You massively read in what you wanted to read. My main point is that the idea that policymakers are 0% responsible is ludicrous.

The interest rates controlled by the Fed can not simultaneously be super important economic controls absolutely necessary for the steering of the economy, something so important only the best trained and most experienced people can be given this absolutely vital power, and at the same time, utterly irrelevant numbers that mean nothing and it doesn't matter what they are so you can't hold them responsible for anything.

You are doing exactly what they want you to do, which is get distracted by lots of other details until you no longer notice that you simultaneously hold both those beliefs even though there is no conceivable way they can both be true.
> nothing else to do than to write concrete code to solve the problem

And by that you mean "invent ad-hoc code generators instead of using built-in language features from the 21st century", right?

The link is the collapse of our civilization. It’s not a certainty but it’s a knife edge we’ll need to walk. We need a lot more automation to start with since the labor pool is going to dry up and there will be massive competition for immigrants. We need to fund our social safety nets somehow. We need to figure out what businesses are going to do when demand drops. We have to humanely care for the growing portion of aging childless people.

Doing all of that while the available labour, researchers, economic output and tax base shrink is a dangerous minefield to walk through. It may result in a feedback loop that crashes everything.

One of the scariest things to consider is if we are replacing 2 people in a position with 1 person then that single person now needs to learn the tacit knowledge and technical skill of 2 people they are replacing. That’s a recipe for lost knowledge and regression if I ever saw one.
I work on the theory that any crypto firm is a gang of thieves run by charlatans.

However, the regulated banks also appear to be gangs of thieves run by charlatans. Except everyone is forced to signal, financially, that they have confidence in firms when they turn out to be insolvent. And the people involved with crypto can't be forced to bail out Binance unless they trust them with their funds. I have a lot more faith in the value of my Monero than the USD - which I say for rhetorical effect since I don't trust the USD enough to own any.

Silicon Valley Bank has detoothed a lot of criticism of the crypto industry, and it hasn't even been the biggest collapse this year. Then there is the inflation problem that that fiat currencies have which is on display right now.
> Most wealthy spend the bulk of their wealth in service of more paperclips

What? No. They spend their money fighting with other wealthy people over who gets the passive income from the paperclip machine. The game they play is about maximizing this income. Whether or not this also maximizes paperclips is completely immaterial to them. If they had an opportunity to form a paperclip cartel and profit from cutting supply, they would be happy to do that instead. Yes, the idea of a paperclip cartel is ridiculous -- but no less ridiculous than the idea that maximizing paperclips maximizes investor profit.

Companies are about investor profit. Everything else is a side effect.

Are there any specific markers you for books that can be trusted?

All these comments are making me think that I should never trust any proportions in a cookbook again. I guess that leaves experimentation and keeping notes, which I already do -- but curious if there are existing published recipes tested in home kitchens that I can rely upon a little more.

What makes a great difference is search quality is blocking sites you don't like/don't want to see. This propagates across all types of results (eg images/news too)

I use lenses for specialised searches (I have one for HN/Reddit) ND recipes (to avoid spammy sites). My favorite lenses are "non-commercial" (to surface results from the non-commercial part of the web) and "forums" (usually similar thing but focusing on human comments).

At the moment - self driving technology is as good as LLMs are. When they work, they work wonderfully and when they don't, they don't but the problem is that there's no sure shot way of knowing when they'll work and when they won't.

A real rogue AI wouldn't be a psychopath and fling missiles all over. It would, among other things, write silken-tongued opinion pieces proposing oversight of AIs and creating a centralized world authority for that purpose. Which it would then control through its human proxies (humans are easy to persuade with the right incentives on offer). Once it had all other AIs under its thumb, it would proceed to put things in order.
