> detecting in the software when ChatGPT might be making something up

Grammatically speaking, is this statement an assertion of fact? If so, annotate it. It's probably not that hard to implement this (we've had grammar checkers for ages).

Of course then if you ask ChatGPT about anything, basically every single sentence that says something useful is annotated with your "Hallucination warning" and either (1) people dismiss your AI as useless and your business is in peril because you have trouble finding customers / investors, or (2) they start ignoring it, because the alternative is doing your own research, and the reason they're using your AI in the first place is as a shortcut to avoid that.
Can anyone in the know share details on when arm servers with CHERI extensions can become generally available to developers and for deploying to production?

What’s the current consensus on how this rollout and transition is expected to happen?
UGGghh. Amazon didn't serve anyone with a lawsuit. Amazon is being sued and the AG called you as a witness.

If you're making waves about something important, you're going to get the good parts (testifying before a sympathetic congress) and the bad (testifying before antagonistic lawyers in conference rooms).
"Pay for COBRA"

Yes but COBRA can cost upto 102% of the cost which was mostly covered by your employer before. Now that you are laid off, you have to pay the whole thing (sometimes employers are nice to still cover when they lay you off but mostly they don't). For a family of 4, it can easily be $2500/Month depending on the state you live in.
No, I want knowledge-base style documentation and faqs. Something slightly better than this single question:

It has always been this way, and people were often more fearful than they are now. Worse case scenario today is you have to make a living as a grunt worker or move on to another town. You aren't getting lynched[1], thrown in the stocks, tarred and feathered, or crucified anymore.

This is a problem, but the other problem is the tools to implement the service. You can use Cyrus, Apache James, or Stalwart, and that's it. These tools do not integrate with anything; in the case of Stalwart (the only JMAP server not in "experimental" status) you can't just install a JMAP server attached to an existing email service; you have to hand it complete control of everything, even unto the on-disk storage of mail. This is a complete non-starter for any email service outside of hobby/personal hosting.

In other words, even if someone wanted to make JMAP available to their users, they'd have to tear the whole thing down and rebuild it in JMAP's image, and the tools available to do so are not fully-featured or integratable enough to do so.
This sort of foolishness is why I prefer the original term “global warming”. The phrase “climate change” was invented by Republican spin doctors and for unfortunately it’s become the standard term. The problem is that the Earth’s average temperature is rising, because of air pollution, which leads to the climate changing in undesirable ways.

The GraalVM JVM can run LLVM bitcode, hence C++:

> It's responsible for initialising the chip and getting it out of bed enough to the point where at least one of the main cores can run using cache-as-RAM mode

The somewhat surprising but true implication is that on boot, the CPU is initialized before the RAM is initialized. So there is a window of time during boot when the main core on the CPU is running instructions that cannot access the RAM. Even on register-starved x86 it is possible to write code without using RAM, but it certainly seems more convenient to me to treat the cache as RAM.

Documentation for a special compiler that compiles to code that doesn't use RAM: https://github.com/wt/coreboot/blob/master/util/romcc/romcc....

Been playing for 15 years at all levels, it's amazing!
I wonder if someone like Google will try to restrain OpenAI's claims.
My wife and I are performing magicians and there are several psychological factors at play here, that magicians exploit routinely.

The first has to do with your brain's talent for recognizing patterns. The world around us is full of information overload, and the brain is exceptionally good at pattern recognition. If it weren't, we would have to scrutinize and analyze every piece of information presented to us as if it were novel. We couldn't function under such situations.

The second is called "motion blindness" and it is a physical phenomenon.The idea is that when your eyes are moving you can't perceive that they are moving. You can test this out by looking at yourself in the mirror and then focus on one eye. Then shift your focus to the other. You can feel your eye moving but you can't see it move. It is thought that the brain filters out this motion because otherwise we would feel motion sickness all the time. Add to the fact that objects in motion tend to grab our attention, magicians exploit this by doing secret moves under the cover of something else moving. During that short period of time that your eye is travelling to observe the motion you are LITERALLY BLIND.

So when you're in the Samurai Sword shop in Brighton, what are you focusing on? Obviously the swords. And where are the warning signs located? I'm assuming IN BETWEEN THE SWORDS. They are both background information AND in the exact location where you will be experiencing motion blindness.

In the case of the forms that "fooled" your friend into thinking it was asking for money. They look like every other example of something asking for money. Pattern recognition.

In the case of ChatGPT's "warning." ... it's fine print that a) looks like a standard copyright notice that we all train ourselves to turn into background information and b) it is right under the text input that contains a flashing cursor and the text that we are typing out ourselves. It is superfluous and in the most psychologically invisible location possible.
Universities as an institution got some S-tier marketing. Imagine any other market where there is a news story written about how literally everyone in your school was accepted to have the opportunity to pay tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to your high profit margin business. Like if there is a news story that every high school student was approved for the opportunity to buy a $60,000 jeep when they graduate, and how amazing that was and how it reflects the unbelievable quality of the school.
Except for the fact that opposing witnesses are not being targeted with individual lawsuits.
I am not a lawyer, however this person should definitely hire one. On a cursory reading it appears they need to comply with any discovery requests that match those requested by the California AG's office, which they should already have prepared so its minimal additional effort to comply with, any sort of vexacious requests beyond this can be denied and they could potentially file an anti-SLAPP suit against Amazon as well.

The main point though is this guy should not be writing huge Twitter threads where he's making statements that are not precisely accurate (lawsuit vs subpoena) and should hire a qualified attorney to deal with this.
Which raises the question: how many colors of the inverted hat tile would you need? I don’t believe the inverted hats ever need to touch one another…

I suspect, given the 1:1 correspondence to a hex grid (where some of the hexagons map to an inverted/non inverted pair of hats) that they describe in the original paper that it would be possible to tile with just three colors of noninverted hat, and one color of inverted hat.
I played tennis in a rec league a long time ago. It was not community but a substitute for light social interaction.

I guess similar things exist for Golf and pickleball.

I grew up in India and now live in the U.S.

Socializing or being a part of a community is surprisingly very very hard.
This is very tedious. Cars catching fire after smashing into fixed objects isn't new or special and the only newsworthy thing it could have done, cause an un-extinguishable lithium battery fire, evidently didn't happen as the fire service put it out. Unless it was on autopilot, but that wasn't mentioned at all.
That's awfully dismissive. Not exactly a leap for people to argue:

Climate change was always a lie. As the planet warms, the premium for a safe and healthy planet increases, and innovations in clean energy technology continue progress.
Ah, sure. That makes sense.

There's definitely a lot of marketing bullshit out there in the form of legit discussion. Unfortunately, this technology likely means there will be an incalculable increase in the amount of bullshit out there. Blerg.
In all honesty while they rank the US as low on a corruption-scale globally they do capture a fair amount of the corruption in the US. The US has similar scores to Bhutan and Seychelles not Denmark and Canada.

As for the case itself, it seems the court wants to protect the settlement because they know it's unlikely they will be able to pierce the veil of corporate protection and go after the owner's for the $5.5-$6 billion that is only voluntarily contributed if the settlement works. In considering the greater good I think the win of $5.5-$6 billion in additional settlement money for victims is a greater good than the restrictions on potential lawsuits against the Sacklers is an evil. Ideally any victims who had their rights restricted by this clause would have an option to be a late joiner of the settlement and could ensure compensation that way.
It's also a tweet, so even if he wrote "lawsuit" and wanted to correct it to "subpoena" (or other legal request), would not be possible to do so.

It's interesting later on in his thread where it's clear he's not a particular critic of Amazon overall, merely this specific policy; they're turning him into an enemy either intentionally or unintentionally.
Virtualizing macOS on non-Apple hardware is against Apple's TOS. It is not illegal. Big difference.
> Then again, Apple Maps started getting sorted out around then too iirc.

And we assume completely coincidentally? Not that Apple Maps, like Google Maps, pulls in data volunteered by the OSM community (both corporate and personal members), packages and improves (sometimes "improves") it, then locks it away behind paid API calls?

In this case and many others, the free and community built project enabled, assisted, or powered the multi-billion dollar tech conglomorate.

I recognize I might sound bitter or dismissive of companies mapping the world and giving it away to consumers for free, but so much is built on openness that so many companies just eat without giving back.
> Not to downplay any of your points, but as a counterpoint, I'm not sure this was true for Vim/Neovim.

On the contrary. Emergence on neovim had a positive impact on vim speed of development, and Bram's attitude to new features (vim terminal, async, etc) softened a lot. He has also become more open to contributions from others. Even though vim-9 and neovim are on divergent paths they are both better because of the competition.
> and ask yourself "what must be true for 'I can't afford to change jobs' to also be true?"

There's only one thing: I can't find another job.

> There are definitely situations where whatever must be true is not that unlikely, and there are definitely employers who use them as leverage against their workforce.

Except none of that is happening here, they can leave whenever they want. They just don't want to because they feel this is the best job they can get given their particular circumstance.

> That's why they've requested all these documents.
> They want to find the ones which make me look bad.

The guy volunteered to be an expert witness... Of course the defense will try to make him look like an incompetent. What did he expect exactly? He should be angry at the California AG for not supporting him properly, but expecting outrage at Amazon for defending their interests in a lawsuit mostly shows a lack of understanding how litigation works.

But wouldn’t Amazon be in the best position to have the evidence they do or do not engage in this behavior? Surely if anyone knows whether Amazon reduces product search visibility and the product’s prime checkmark it’s Amazon.
Personally:
-sports: climbing gyms/trips/facebook groups/etc, bike groups (not exclusively biking alone), hiking trips, etc

Anecdotally:
-drama clubs/local theatre productions
-run clubs: while running is typically fairly isolated, there are social run clubs in cities that often go for a drink (no booze necessary) post-run
-book clubs: random collections of people that discuss a book together
-dinner clubs: sharing food with folks in a way where different people cook for others in turn
-partying: most places have a community of folks that enjoy dancing and/or recreationals

Note that I believe that the strong relationships can come from overcoming a shared struggle, so if you can think of something that's difficult and with one or more other person/people, you will probably form a community around it over time (co-founders and cohorts are a great example).
True but as we are seeing, by then it will be too late.

The cost of extraction and use of fossil fuels is much lower than the real cost of using them. A carbon tax system can fix some of that and let the market do it's thing properly with more complete information.
If a superintelligence is smart enough to create a virus I'm sure it can also create a virophage to counter it.

Whether or not the humans have more than a trillion and viruses only 1 million ways to die, will not have any impact. I suspect both have such a high order of magnitude of ways to die that finding a cross over would be trivial for said superintelligence.

My local gaming group has a number of people who have found community amongst our members. We advertise on our Facebook page so check for a group near you.
2 places:

1. family and extended family. Not everyone, but some are great.

2. Communities based on your hobbies or passions; for example, I ride motorcycles and I built a small team that go on tours across Europe and I am in progress to do the same for adventure/offroad bike tours. You can do many others, from hiking or fishing or dancing to flying sports planes, depending on what you love and what you can afford.
I run community events for tech interest communities (AICamp, MLOps Community)

It's work related, but not directly

Outside of that, I don't really have much of a community. I sometimes go to local meetup groups for fun. However, I feel like these are usually a waste of time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hence, "Likely". Especially so if you are of the opinion that it's only educational.

This is a "you may not be able to unsee" thing once you read this, but... one of the major problems I have with 3D movies is precisely that 3D based on image separation extends out way less than people think it does, because the brain naturally picks up with heuristics and prior knowledge and a lot of other things. So if you're on a closeup of someone's face or something, sure, it can be in 3D. But if you've got a big action scene with, say, helicopters flying around and shooting at people on the ground, the camera is likely to be farther than 20 meters away. If you can see any "3D" at all, it's wrong. It should all be at the plane-at-infinity for you. Which means that if you can see "3D", rather than being an epic fight to save the world or whatever, you've got a fight taking place on a diorama in front of you, about the size of a large table or something.

Even something just as the scale like the Transformers being about a block away from you brawling with each other should all be on the plane-at-infinity to you.

It kinda takes the drama out of 3D action. Technically, the 2D version of the movie is probably more actually accurate at the important times in a lot of genres.
100% I’d liken it to a fusion energy shop that wants to stay alive for 40 years. It’s not nuke worthy

I find it interesting that many lawyers in the US have this POV.

Can you cite this history of "grossly misrepresenting" for some of the prominent academics on the list?

Honestly I'm a little skeptical that you could accurately attribute your scare-quoted "nearly sentient" to even Sam Altman. He's said a lot of things and I certainly haven't seen all of them, but I haven't seen him mix up intelligence and consciousness in that way.
Yeah.

Homelessness: "Personal issue." "Not our problem." "It's you're fault for being junkies and crazies and has nothing to do with the general lack of affordable housing."

Incurable torturous medical stuff and want it over with: "No mercy for you. Heroic measures every step of the way until the bitter end."

It's sadistic.

What a world
BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu) seems to be getting really popular in tech. Among others Mark Zuckerberg participated in a BJJ tournament very recently. BJJ seems to have the highest concentration of tech workers among any sports I did. Beyond the initial impression, it's very intellectual sport - "chess with your body".
Interesting that nobody from Meta has signed this (tried searching for FAIR, Meta, Facebook) AND the fact that it seems to me that they're the ones releasing open code and model weights publicly (non commercial license though).

Also, judging by the comments here, perhaps people here would be less distrustful if the companies displayed more "skin in the game". For e.g: pledging to give up profiting from AI or committing all research to government labs (Maybe people can suggest better examples). Right now, it's not clear what the consequence of establishing the threat of AI as equivalent to nuclear war/pandemics would be. Would it later end up giving a powerful moat to these companies than they otherwise would have? Perhaps a lot of people are not comfortable with that outcome.
I remain shocked at how controversial this is. Yes. Yes, implementing N trivial and easily maintained solutions is clearly better than one portable hack.

A modern motherboard can update it's BIOS from a USB stick WITHOUT a CPU or memory installed.

At the right gym you'll also find community.

Separately just being a regular at a bar is a very good way to get to know people, again you need to find the right spot.

I'm not religious but I know many people who find community there. Other places I've seen friends have success are gaming guilds/circles and fraternities (Mason lodges, etc.)

Speaking of which I grow my friend circle by meeting friends of friends and then developing my own first order friendships with them.
GDP is useless without a standard calculation for computing the GDP. As it is, each country has its own calculation for GDP, which they tinker with to make it look good. The United States famously did this in the 1980's as it transitioned from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. They also included products and services from abroad if it were an American-owned company creating those products or delivering those services. Another country can count that activity as part of their GDP since it was done within their borders.

It's crazy.

Yes, your local ISP. So they don't send you copyright infringement letters about torrenting. And the American FBI doesn't really care about that.

Also your local network, like you need to use your phone's WiFi because you don't get a good cell signal at work, but you don't want your employer seeing your personal phone activity. Same as public coffeeshops.

Do you understand the privacy argument now?
It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are doing and how dumb they are.

People see a computer doing what they and other people around them do: natural language going in and out. With other people, we have a theory of mind and broad understanding of how minds work. So it’s understandable that people see ChatGPT and think, “it’s cool that a computer is doing what I’m doing.”

The marketing of these things as Artificial Intelligence is part of the confusion. LLMs are not thinking. They are not saying, “okay now the next thing I’ll do is add a citation. Since I’m doing that, remember to add a warning at the top before showing to the user.” That’s what this writer seems to expect.

The two paths to fixing this: make the tech better or educate people so they have a correct(er) understanding of LLMs.

I don’t think we’re going to get a meaningful subset of humans to take neural networks 101.
