*Actually, if I enter in a PhD, it may only allow more time to focus on adjacent main fields of interest (electrical related biophysics/biotech). Conversley, if I get a random job, especially not remote one, it may distract more.

*Currently it seems I do not need an advanced degree, because I know how to learn new necessary stuff, the basics of scientific method and can conduct the main stuff on my own. The limit is (formal) time and minimal equipment.

*In the really big picture, hm, well, the answer may be ~1/137;). There may be multiple perspectives. Currently I focus to just obtain specific intended results in vivo/in vitro. PhD in AI may be adjacent to this, unless it would be directly related to electrical(main)/materials/3D/chemical engineering, but I only have general ideas about this rather than knowing which architectures/libraries to apply.

TIOCSTI is irrelevant. When one is dropping privileges, in a system cron job or in a process supervised by one's favourite service management system, there is no terminal involved. TIOCSTI simply doesn't enter into the picture at all.

Only when one is in a terminal login session and using su to elevate / add privileges, does TIOCSTI become relevant. But no-one here is saying not to use su to add privileges.

People blame su, sudo, and (as the person at https://github.com/slicer69/doas/issues/110 did) doas for this feature of operating system kernels. The right thing to do with TIOCSTI it to just eliminate it from the kernel. OpenBSD did back in version 6.

Sadly, the argument from Alan Cox, Linux developer, when this was proposed years ago was that it should stay in Linux, and all of the programs like su, sudo, and doas should have even more things to do in the parent process that sticks around, namely pump I/O to and from a controlling pseudo-terminal that su/sudo/doas sets up for the shell subprocess, breaking (as the maintainer of OpenDoas pointed out) the long-standing notion that the child processes belong to the same terminal session and share things like a single getlogname() with the login shell.

6 years after https://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2017/05/10/3... and https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2017/06/03/9, there is no sign of anyone doing anything of the sort in any su or doas implementation. (It was briefly in one su implementation, but taken out in 2017 for being a "stupid hack": https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/23f75093264a...)

Fortunately, some six months ago Linux developers finally made TIOCSTI removable and the right course of action is available to those that want it: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221228205726.rfevry7ud6gmttg5...
Environmental, non-disease challenges are important to develop proper immune response. Catching the flavor of the day does jack all, and might actually prompt some autoimmune responses and lymphomas (due to the increased activity of the immune system in response to infection).

People who never acquire a chronic herpes zoster infection are highly unlikely to benefit from a shingles vaccine with respect to this sort of dementia.

While I do believe LLMs can perform some reasoning, I'm not sure this is the best example as all the reasoning you would ever need for Minecraft is well contained in the data set used to train it. A lot has been written about minecraft.

To me, it would be more convincing if they developed an enterly new game with somewhat novel and arbitrary rules and saw if the embodied agent could learn this game.
Looking at the paper, as I understand it they're using Mineflayer https://github.com/PrismarineJS/mineflayer and passing parts of the state of the game as JSON to the LLM that are used for code generation to complete tasks.

> I still don't understand it and it blows my mind - how such properties emerge just from compressing the task of next word prediction.

The Mineflayer library is very popular, so all the relevant tasks are likely already extant in the training data.
It's always fun to look at the prompts used by these projects. Here are a few snippets from this one:

>You are a helpful assistant that tells me the next immediate task to do in Minecraft. My ultimate goal is to discover as many diverse things as possible, accomplish as many diverse tasks as possible and become the best Minecraft player in the world.

>8) Tasks that require information beyond the player's status to verify should be avoided. For instance, "Placing 4 torches" and "Dig a 2x1x2 hole" are not ideal since they require visual confirmation from the screen. All the placing, building, planting, and trading tasks should be avoided. Do not propose task starting with these keywords

>7) Use `exploreUntil(bot, direction, maxDistance, callback)` when you cannot find something. You should frequently call this before mining blocks or killing mobs. You should select a direction at random every time instead of constantly using (1, 0, 1).

>9) Do not write infinite loops or recursive functions.

You can really imagine the sorts of pitfalls the agent fell into that induced the authors to add these stipulations.

Here's what it all boils down to, by my reading:

(1) While there were signed treaty agreements ruling out NATA expansion (beyond Germany) -- notes by Baker (and others) do acknowledge that the Soviets/Russians were left with something of an "understanding" that this wouldn't happen.

For example we have Baker's assurance to Gorbachev that “neither the President nor I intend to extract any unilateral advantages from the processes that are taking place,” and that the Americans understood that “not only for the Soviet Union but for other European countries as well it is important to have guarantees that if the United States keeps its presence in Germany within the framework of NATO, not an inch of NATO’s present military jurisdiction will spread in an eastern direction.”

(2) As Gorbachev himself (whom the other commenter in this thread seems intent on reminding us is still "dead", for some reason) put it: “It [NATO expansion] was definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990". Along with other statements that it was a bad idea and unnecessarily provocative.

(3) Unfortunately everything changed with the unequivocal violation of Ukraine's territorial sovereignty 2014, which irrevocably upturned both the 1994 Budapest Memorandum -and- whatever sweet nothings were exchanged by Gorby and Baker (now also quite dead) in 1990. And thoroughly legitimized any means Ukraine might seek to protect itself, including joining NATO if it so wishes -- from that point ever onward.

(4) In any case -- the idea that the arc of events in above in any way comes even close to legitimizing, minimizing or excusing the current mass slaughter that is currently being inflicted on the people of Ukraine; or that is places "blame" on the West, or creates some kind of metaphysical equivalence of imperial powers; or that the best course of action for the Ukrainians at this point is to sit back and accept the designs that that large country to the north has on their territory and their future -- is, in the scheme of things, pure and utter horseshit. Something only a self-deluded intellectual can believe.

It's really quite straightforward, actually.
No outbound connections would likely be a deal-breaker for many.

It's a joke about playing the game "right." Mining straight up/down is a rather suboptimal strategy, as:

- mining straight up means you either seal your path behind you, or are limited how high up you can go

- mining straight down likely traps you in a pit

- mining straight down far enough can drop you straight into lava, as many Minecraft players learn early on
You declare:

> I think it puts an end to the claim that "language models are only stochastic parrots and cannot do any reasoning".

But then two sentences later:

> I still don't understand it and it blows my mind

I've said this before to others and it bears repeating because your line of thinking is dangerous (not sudden AI cataclysm): to feel so totally qualified to make such a statement armed with ignorance, not knowledge, is the cause of mass hysteria around LLMs.

What is happening can be understood without resorting to the sort of magical thinking that ascribes agency to these models.
If you do consulting, you can find conferences relevant to your field and tack on some time on either side of the conference.

This is 100% legal. It also reduces the costs of the trip massively.

So I’d look for interesting conferences and build my plan off of that.
You are correct that the overall economic backdrop is quite different from the late 90s.

Nonetheless, the AI news cycle is continuous (like .COM was) and the attribution of NVDA's +25% romp to the prospects of AI grabs the attention of retail investors, who tuned in to see AVGO +20% and the likes of MSFT, TSLA, NFLX and GOOG add 5% in 2 days. The longer that goes on, the more we'll see investors looking for reasons that companies will benefit from AI and want to buy in, then, companies that don't have a strong AI story will need to get on the train and start buying all the AI startups that have materialized over the last couple of years. Then, we start seeting AI IPOs with increasingly sketchy histories. (sorry, .COM PTSD kicking in...)

All this could happen in a weak market. In fact, strong returns in AI during a weak overall market will simply call more attention to it.
I don't understand what you are saying, because it appears to not follow what I stated. (Edit: Okay, I've got it now.)

A chickenpox infection as a child will indeed help prevent against future chickenpox infections (which, for this particular virus, are indeed worse when first infected as an adult). It may have some slight efficacy against other herpesviruses, too, or it could enable a stronger disease from a related virus due to antibody-dependent enhancement. But more likely a chickenpox infection, and related acquired immune responses, will do jack-all with respect to any other infectious agent.

We're not talking code changes here, but purely a data request. For code changes the trail is more obvious and it being noticed is easier to explain - but you are still in a situation that anything that can be read as you publishing it in an indirect way (e.g. by giving details to a connected organization which you know won't keep it private) will be taken as such and get you in trouble. I think it'd be quite hard construct that in a truly "safe" way.

> Think about what that means for the future of all auto mechanics. Will there be far fewer?

In the long run, yes.

If EV conversion becomes a major thing (which could happen if tax credits applied to conversions and if simple, cheap bolt-in kits ever hit the market) then auto mechanics might be quite busy for the next decade or two converting part of the existing ICE fleet to EV.
That Julius Caesar definitely never wore pants? I have no source.

That Romans at the time did not, for the most part, wear pants? It's a DDG search away:

"Even when foreign garments – such as full-length trousers – proved more practical than standard issue, soldiers and commanders who used them were viewed with disdain and alarm by their more conservative compatriots, for undermining Rome's military virtus by "going native". ... Trousers – considered barbarous garments worn by Germans and Persians – achieved only limited popularity in the latter days of the empire, and were regarded by conservatives as a sign of cultural decay." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clothing_in_ancient_Rome

"But in Imperial Rome, obviously, things were a little different—no man of honor would think of wearing what was considered the garb of a savage barbarian." https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/trousers-pants-roman-h...

"For the Romans, to encircle the legs and thighs with fasciae, or bands, was understood, in the time of Pompey and Horace, to be a proof of ill health and effeminacy.[2] Roman men typically wore tunics, which were one-piece outfits terminating at or above the knee." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braccae

"Leg coverings were seen as crude items, something that was worn by the barbarians who lived beyond the borders of Roman civilization or as the leg protection of the very poor or old. Long pants, like long sleeves were seen as effeminate. ... In Caesar's day braccae were considered effeminate and barbarian-wear — something to avoided by civilized Roman men." - https://romanobritain.org/8-military/mil_soldiers_braccae_.p...

Digging more, I found this from "Roman Influences on the Victory Reliefs of Shapur I of Persia", Marjorie C. Mackintosh, California Studies in Classical Antiquity , 1973, Vol. 6 (1973), pp. 181-203, https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/25010653.pdf

> On the Column of Marcus Aurelius, the emperor addresses his men who, like himself, are clad in tunica, sagum and bracae (Hamberg [supra n. 22] 143, pl. 26, scene LXXXIII). See also Brilliant, Severus, 155, n. 23. That the Romans on the other reliefs do not wear the same may have been due to an oversight or to the fact that the Romans considered trousers as a basically barbarian garment (E. Sander, Die Kleidung des romischen Soldaten," Historia 12 [1963] 152) and may have preferred not to be depicted thus in a "barbarian" monument. Since the Romans probably helped in the design of the monuments, their preference might have had some force. Roman monuments show emperors and officers in field situations both with and without bracae.

So, maybe Julius Caesar did sometimes wear pants? You'll need to ask a Romanologist.

Still, there's going to be plenty of Roman flute players who never wore pants.
Historically, you couldn't use ANY of them as object literal keys without risking problems. I believe it was an oversight.

Health for All: Transforming economies to deliver what matters
My 2-year-old likes to pick dandelions; she will hand them to me and say "Here is a pretty yellow flower for you Daddy". How could I tell her that adults have decided to arbitrarily classify these flowers as "weeds"? The amount of joy that the dandelion brings to her makes me think we could all be a little bit happier if we embraced these plants instead of attempting to eradicate them.
I feel like you're missing something basic. The professor classifies this as a "cheating site", and his entire article assumes this classification, but the site portrays itself as a study aid. If we skip the editorializing, what the professor actually did was seed misinformation on the Internet to see who would fall for it.

Would you feel differently if he had edited the Wikipedia page for his subject to see which students used it as a study aid?

The equation of "you found this info on the Internet instead of in the approved course material and therefore you're cheating" doesn't seem completely solid to me.

Maybe there are some small tests (GPT4 comparing it to other contenders), but it's mostly other people's experience trying a lot of these models.

Also it being 30B makes it already quite stronger than those in the leaderboard.

> Orcas live their lives by eating responsibly and healthily, stay with their families, play, communicate, and live all without waging war. We humans live our lives slaved to our technology and socioeconomic systems with vast amounts of self-induced mental and physical health problems while trying to obtain some misplaced notion of permanence in this universe through AI or space travel, all while completely destroying the environment for ourselves and every other species. Humans are also some of the most if not the most violent species to ever exist. Which is more intelligent?

I'm not sure how the authors arrive at the idea that this agent is embodied or open-ended. It is sending API calls to minecraft, there's no "body" involved except as a symbolic concept in a game engine, and the fact that minecraft is a video game with a limited variety of behaviors (and the authors give the GPT an "overarching goal" of novelty) precludes open-endedness. To me this feels like an example of the ludic fallacy. Spitting out "bot.equip('sword')" requires a lot of non-LLM work to be done on the back end of that call to actually translate to game mechanics, and it doesn't indicate that the LLM understands anything about what it "really" means to equip a sword, or that it would be able to navigate a real-world environment with swords etc.
