Meditation is known to be an excellent stress relief technique, but be warned - meditation is the thin end of a wedge, which will (asymptomatically) cause you to completely re-evaluate the entire meaning of your life. The long term outcome is likely to involve a considerable improvement in focus, greater enjoyment of day to day life, and for those who seek understanding Enlightenment is possible.

The headline is a perfect example of a tense-critical deepity: it's trivially true because of the "is" and would be trivially false if it instead used "will be". Best practice would be for headlines like this to always be explicit by adding "right now", e.g. "The greatest risk of AI right now is from the people who control it, not the tech itself." Once AI commonly acts on its own, things change.
Serious question and I don't mean anything negative - Do you consider HN to be social media?

Using it as just a news source seems really valid.

And it feels different from other social media platforms because of the focus on full discussions. But surely this still counts as social media?

Genuinely asking because I see you made your account just to post this comment - why did you do that? It's not a bad thing (I'm here too), I'm just curious why you felt it was important to do?
none of the 3rd party apps are real companies with resources

they're passion hobby projects that'll disappear rather than turn into a job
Obviously companies are going to try to shape any regulation to their benefit. What I'm wondering is if people who see x-risk worries as distracting from real risks are in agreement with the narrative I've seen a lot on HN recently that calls for regulation are just anti-competitive attempts at regulatory capture.

For what it's worth, you should append "site:reddit.com" instead of just "reddit", to avoid being tricked by sites which simply include the word reddit.
They would have killed it a long time ago otherwise.

I would keep using Reddit sync I guess.
Might mathematically adept Large Language Models be able to access the platonic “World of Forms?” (νοητός κόσμος - Noētos Kosmos) If so, there is an interesting basis for how and why AI might truly understand, even without consciousness.

I also find myself frequently questioning the labeling of things one doesn't like as "political".

Having a code of conduct that focuses on treating people w/ respect and discouraging personal attacks is not political, and it's strange to me that someone would label it as such.
Is there a point to this post, if not to stoke outrage? If so, this only makes explicit through elected officials what other countries (including the US) have made implicit through unelected judges (eg: 'fighting words' are not protected speech, even though the 1st amendment makes no such carve-out).
The appeals aren't monitored by humans in a meaningful way. You expect some human to look into it for 10 minutes, see that your comments aren't abusive and that there is some merit...

But they have someone once or twice a week look at a list of 200 appeals at a time, dismiss all 200 after glancing at the subject line of all of them together for 15 seconds, and then move on to the next page.

There is nothing they want from a 13 year old account. You're a liability. You still use old.reddit.com, they want to get rid of that without backlash. You want 2007's reddit back where you could have amazingly intelligent discussions on just about anything with dozens of other people who are essentially anonymous to you. They want to be Facebook, with ijits clicking on tiktok videos.

It's quite possibly they're just banning old accounts so they can re-invent themselves as a spammy Facebook/Instagram/whatever clone. You're in the way.

It'd be a mistake to assume that they're pro-bitcoin-scammer, when mostly they're just generically evil and want what you liked about Reddit to be long dead.

The paper states that hallucinations are logical reasoning errors... that confused me. For me a hallucination is the conjuring up of facts, things, references, characters etc. as is convenient for the given context.
Most meat has a perfectly fine proportion of fat to protein. You, in general should be getting about 1g fat per 2g protein for nutritional levels. Most don't get nearly enough, and what they do get is a very unbalanced ratio from seed oils.

Fat can be used for energy, but is also a primary nutrient source. Carbs are solely for energy and the proteins and fats derived from vegetarian sources are of poor quality and low absorption.

Most excess energy that gets stored as fat comes from carbohydrate sources, which are much easier for the body to break down.
What's the primary key to identify a German citizien? The full name is certainly not unique. Even combined with birthdate duplicates do probably exist. Some countries have something like a social security number. Of course those exist in Germany, too, but using them cross-functionally has long been deemed unconstitutional. So the tax office can use the tax number, but that cannot be shown e.g. in your passport or drivers licence. Analogously with every other identifier. I think some law and order politicians have tried to weaken this up, but I guess it's still not fully allowed.

Asking out of real curiousity. I am German citizen, but have not lived there after the first government office got a PC.

I had poor word choice that got grossly misinterpreted, so I subsequently wrote the help article referenced above (https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/ne...) to give clarity: "we don’t evaluate or otherwise take into account any potential political bias or leanings of websites in our search result rankings."

In reality we never censored anything, nor do we have a disinformation/"truth" detector, nor did we go looking for any Russian narrative (or any other narrative for that matter). Instead, we just have essentially a spam detector that had detected some spam from Russian state sites. That's it.
It's generally a pretty manual process, as there's no universal mapping from upstream documentation to docsets.

When you're starting with Doxygen documentation:
https://github.com/chinmaygarde/doxygen2docset or https://pypi.org/project/doxytag2zealdb. If it's Sphinx-like, then https://github.com/hynek/doc2dash

Otherwise is it probably best to look for a specific tool for the type of docs and then look through the GitHub submissions to the user-generated docset submissions for clues for specific code bases: https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/pulls?q=is...
Though Gibbons' famous work comes in six volumes and covers more than a millenium of history, the rise of the Roman Empire was outside its scope. It was titled The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
Same here. When Digg came out with their v4 redesign I switched to Reddit and never looked back. Though now I prefer HN more and use Reddit less these days, so it won’t be too much of a loss to me.
> richest person in the world, Elon Musk, is a climate entrepreneur who got there in part due to climate-driven government subsidies. Just because someone made money off it though does not mean that climate change is a fake concern.

Nobody said this. If the only person arguing the dangers of climate change was Elon Musk, there would be room for reasonable skepticism. That's the difference between the AI debate and "any expert, scientist, or company executive who says 'this stuff could be dangerous'."
This is pointless yelling at clouds.

For most things there's a generally accepted mapping <thing> : <term for the thing> which evolves naturally over time as part of language and culture.

That's what AI is - a name for thing, not a promise or a contractual obligation to perfectly match the preexisting dictionary meaning of the words that compose it.
> You won't find the likes of Yudkowsky talking about this because they'd rather go on about their fan fiction than actually work to prevent real problems we may face soon.

This is a totally unreasonable take, unless you believe that AI can't possibly pose an existential risk within the next couple decades or so. Actually I'd love to know what your estimate actually is for AI becoming an existential threat - does 30 years sound short to you? Because to a lot of AI experts, 30 years was their estimate before ChatGPT, and could be considered wildly optimistic.

You clearly don't, but imagine you felt that AI had a 1-in-10 chance of shutting down all power generation on earth. This would collapse civilization. Would you be worried about it? As a reminder, you're still allowed to be worried about other things as the same time. It's a simple y/n.

1) I mostly agree. There are at least other rewards that can also be offered, such as conference discounts. There's also the token system (pay tokens to submit works, receive tokens for reviewing). But some incentive structure needs to happen, agreed.

> especially if you're not established

This is commonly stated but I don't think many internalize what it means. I don't think a meritocracy can exist -- this indicator supports that -- and shows that there's strong factors influencing acceptance beyond the quality of work.

2) I do think we need to be very careful about how we sell the prestige of publications/venues. As fields get more popular and our metrics rely more on them (publish or perish) then this not only encourages paper mills, but cheating in general. As two simple examples, look at how ML publishes works where papers use proprietary datasets/models (reveals authors' lab and thus violates ethics), or how it is status quo to tune hyperparameters on test data results (information leakage). You're are a huge disadvantage if you don't cheat. We have a similar problem in schools and this is why students cheat. If it is hard to catch and bad actors aren't punished (high risk because high false positive) then you actively reward cheaters. This needs to be a serious conversation and I don't think we are having this (this is several domains, even outside academia).

3) There's a coupling effect here though, that is pretty destructive and can have bigger social ramifications. As the noise in venue publication increases, the trust in the venue decreases. But I think it increases first, as people are metric chasing. But I suspect it'll be like a rubber band, and snap back hard. The larger ramification is social trust around science, where only the large venues matter and not the small unknown journals. We already have a growing distrust as the "just asking questions" anti-science strategy has been growing, and we need to be pretty careful and think beyond a local (spatially and temporally) window.

> Why should _anyone_ undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and development time burden for maintaining a public tracker?

Try a more extreme example: why should anyone undertake the legal risk, monetary cost and logistical hassle of hiding Jews from the SS? It's not some psychopathic business decision; it's because some people stubbornly insist on doing the right thing despite it being unpopular, illegal, and clearly a bad idea.

If someone does manage to turn a profit doing it that's (all else being equal) great, but it's not the point.

> "Piracy is almost always a service problem." — Gabe Newell

I find this an odd argument in favor of pirating movies, because everything that steam offers for games, amazon prime or itunes offers for most tv shows and movies. In fact with amazon prime you can buy content and watch it on pretty much any kind of device out there.
A power company is unlikely to do this, in part because they are not an industry that fetishizes growth at any cost with the value of individual users approaching zero. And in part because in many markets, they're regulated and need to provide service.

But our industry already operates this way. Google will cut you off for triggering automated rules, and good luck getting human help. AI will not make it worse; but it will be used by such businesses to give their CS the appearance of being better. It will feel like you're talking to a real person again.
Not a fan of fatty recipes but doesn't like dry pork? Have you pointed out the paradox yet? :)

In my experience, there is no such thing as lean pork that tastes good. Pork meat is rather gamy, so its only redeeming quality is that the fat makes it delicious. Domesticated pigs were essentially bred for a higher fat content, to make them taste better.

One of our family staples is carnitas. Basically you just grab a cheap hunk of pork shoulder butt (often just labled "pork butt" in the store), cut it up into 2" cubes, and throw it into a slow cooker or cast iron pot. For seasonings, toss in any or all of: LOTS of chili powder (hot or not), a little bit of cumin, salt, pepper, onion powder, maybe a bit of lime juice. Cook covered over medium heat for about 4 hours, stirring at least every 45 minutes. It's done when you can easily shred it with a fork. It's okay to remove some fat from the pot before shredding if there is really too much but if you try to drain it all, you are going to be left with a pile of bland meat. Shred it, serve on tacos, nachos, in a salad, or whatever.

The great thing about this recipe is that it's simple and easy. You can get creative with the seasonings, the only two important ones are the chili and salt. If the shredded pork tastes bland or so-so, you need more of one or the other, and it's generally more than you think.

I read an article a few years ago that convinced me that Kafka's peculiar quality--the famous "Kafkaesque"--isn't due to his experience with Austro-Hungarian bureaucracy, or his being a German-speaking Jew surrounded by Czech-speaking Catholics, or any of the other reasons commonly suggested--it was mostly his autism. (The author was an obscure, independent scholar named Jerry Stuger, although I don't remember the title.)

This is great feedback! Thanks y'all! We're starting with our hosted product so that folks can sign up and get started immediately. This has helped us get initial feedback and iterate super quickly. That said, releasing a self-serve, self-hosted version of Onu is a big item on our roadmap. We've heard lots of conflicting opinions on the necessity for a self-hosted version of the app, but this feedback definitely helps validate how necessary it will be.
That doesn't actually answer my question, and also seems a bit confused. OpenAI is not in the business of renting GPUs. And I've seen some Google DeepMind people talking about x-risk, but not the other cloud players (or Nvidia or TSMC).

Embedded software tends to need at least some EE knowledge, though how much will depend on the job. A tiny bit of ME knowledge also helps (consider thermal management, consider vibrations during shipping, consider vibration in use, etc). For robotics and mechatronics, ME knowledge becomes far more important.

> Maybe we could spend more time figuring out what actually causes painful bladder syndrome

Yeah, I guess we could also do that for cancer! Then we wouldn't need to invest so much resources making treatments for it....

Jokes aside, I don't know anything about painful bladder syndrome, but much like other illnesses, a cure is often much harder to develop. In the meantime, what we can do is develop treatments.

Plus, as the article hints at, there are so many other applications for it. When I read it, I read the current tests as a proof of concept. The sky is the limit with simple treatments that currently require surgeries or other invasive procedures that could be addressed here. An optimistic moonshot is teaching them to attack tumors.

All and all, if you couldn't tell, I'm really bullish on this tech.

If the primary complaint from Reddit is that they are losing revenue (no ad impressions/lack of user data and metrics gathering) why don't they just keep the API free/affordable but require developers to show ads and send usage metrics back to reddit?

I feel like it's incredibly short sighted for these companies to limit their APIs.

The author is not saying "AI systems should be shut down, because they might wipe us out".

He is saying "if those people genuinely believed what they were saying, they should logically shut down their own AI systems."

His position is consistent and clear: the supposed threat from AI is based in sci-fi and motivated reasoning. Indeed, even those who are motivated to spread the idea of that threat do not appear to genuinely believe it—either that, or they believe that their own right to continue to do whatever they can to maximize their profits outweighs it.

No. I do not believe the US government would allow public utilities to set prices based on social metrics bought from 3rd parties.

I do not believe a public utility and my employer correlate. Maybe if I was a government employee. Even then, I don't believe the government would have the right to use that data against me either.

I have a hard time believing these underhanded tactics are overlooked and allowed.
