There are enough nuclear weapons lost and unaccounted for from the cold war to send humanity into extinction many times over. I think there are far more viable human extinction events that could occur that don't involve AI and further I don't exactly see how we halt the progress of AI. What would the language of such a law look like? Presuming it would have to be rather ambiguous, who in the government would be competent enough to enforce this well meaning law that wasn't just going to abuse their power to aide competing interests?

AI is a tricky advancement that will be difficult to get right, but I think humanity has been so far successful at dealing with a much more dangerous technology (nuclear weaponry) - so that gives me hope.
I call BS on this. ChatGPT anyversion could never solve complex problems. That is just silly. I tried to get the version 4 to solve some very basic problems around generating code. It suggested to build several trees including a syntax tree and then project things between these trees. The solution I wrote is straight forward and not even 50 lines of code.
It's tiring seeing people who made millions building AI prattling about doom and gloom and regulation. Scott Galloway called it the stop-me-before-I-kill-grandma defence. (Paraphrasing.)

The cherry on top is when regulation is actually proposed, the act is dropped and obstructionism re-asserted [1].

Well, looks like this is the end of any social media use for me. Reddit was already hanging by a thread for me. Not being able to use Apollo for this will be the last nail in the coffin.
Have you tried using the 'old' reddit? Replacing 'www.' with 'old.' will move you over to the old style of reddit and will keep you there when clicking through links.

Something like that could probably be built on top of the matrix protocol, I'm not aware of anything concrete though.
The latest GPT 3.5 model has actually been getting better at creative writing tasks on a regular basis, which is actually bad for certain tasks due to the token limit. Whereas before GPT 3.5 could write a short story and finish it up nicely in a single response, now days it is more descriptive (good!) and thus runs out of tokens before concluding (bad!)

"cannot anticipate" == cannot know whether it will happen

we also cannot anticipate an earth-killing asteroid appearing any day now, and no, i'm not bothered in the least by this possibility, any more than my usual existential angst as a mortal human.

sometimes I think the AI safety people haven't come to terms with their own death and have a weird fixation on the world ending as a way to avoid their discomfort with the more routine varieties of the inevitable.
But Scylla doesn't offer the same consistency guarantees as Mongo, right? You can shard pretty wide with Mongo and still read your own writes, while my understanding is Scylla is eventually consistent?
Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.
Are there messengers for the AI risk case who you'd consider credible, or is the message so outlandish in your mind that it doesn't really matter who's delivering it?
By your comments on this thread I am assuming reading comprehension and complex critical thinking are not your strong suits. And that's okay. Do realize that there are people who excel in these areas in which you are so clearly lacking.
Great job! Fun and innovative!
It doesn't matter if a story makes sense, just that it is easy to understand. See much of rhetoric in America right now, and Russia regarding Ukraine.
I'm right here with ya. I read other comments about how "bad" the Linux desktop experience is but my little xfce workstation has a consistent dark theme across all apps and perfectly legible fonts with very minimal effort -- and it was all in the first day of setting up my OS. I don't discount anyone's preferences I just personally don't understand it.
I wish people weren't so damn trigger happy.

> What data would comprise such a model?

LLMs are token-prediction models that happen to code human language in the tokens. You could train a similar model based on e.g. sensor inputs for moderating a plant and regulating a grid.
My wife seems to think that pork is always dry. She'll occasionally go for pulled pork (crockpot cooked). Do you have any other suggestions? Especially if they are potentially kid friendly.

She's not a fan of fatty recipes either, while my daughter is basically a bacontarian ... avoiding most other meats.
If they really believe that this is a significant risk then they are being incredibly reckless by not focusing all of their energy to halt AI development until a solution is found. Right now the opposite is happening, many researchers and companies who express these concerns are still barrelling ahead.

A small group of people risking the lives of billions without their consent is morally repugnant.
Thank you for the reply.

The power companies are going to buy access to this data. This government regulated utility is going to be allowed to charge its subscribers based on social metrics.

This sounds very far fetched to me.
> From fat soluble nutrients to poor hormone production.

the question is how much extra fat average consumer gets from meat.
The trouble is that they’ve been putting off long-term solutions for a very long time, at least 30 years.

The best time to plant a tree was yesterday. The second best time is today.
What do you think of the calls for regulation or licensing of AI?
More humane farming is one thing. Trying to replicate or replace nature with processed garbage has had some pretty horrible effects on human health.

Oh strange, in the news here it said Tonghae-Ri. Thanks!

Edit: Aha I see it, I looked it up and it says it is from Tongchang-ri which is where Sohae is, not Tonghae. This was what confused me.

Little knowledge + too much wikipedia + assumptions = fake news :P
This also seems like the most reasonable solution to me, the guy who is generally supportive of Reddit trying to make money.

But having worked on platforms like this, this solution opens up yet another support vector. A cost that works for the most potential buyers may not be high enough to actually pay for support requests.
> The research institutes are also for profit bodies

Their business model isn't to put the research behind a paywall, which is the relevant distinction.

> turns out academics like the journals' attempts to curate interesting stuff more than only ever reading stuff on their bookmark list or that's mailed to them in a desperate attempt to get some engagement.

This is what conferences are for, and then you have the conference organizers curating the talks but everyone gets the list of talks and links to all the freely available papers even if they can't afford to attend the conference.
> helping make sure the specification is correct. This far, I have not seen an AI meet that bar

I've only used Bard so far, but indeed, it has never replied to my question with a clarifying question. Only with a statement. This seems like an obvious evolution of the chatbot concept...
Yudkowsky and many others have been working on this problem for decades, way before there was any financial incentive to speak of.

The incentive here is that they want to live, and they want their loved ones to live.
Anecdotal answer from a cat person: yes. My cat gives me "hugs". He stands on his hind legs on my lap so our hearts are touching and his cheek is against my cheek. It's quite touching. He seems to know what my heart is and what my cheek is, and puts his own versions against mine.

It's precious.
Interestingly the whole page does not tell what one can practically do with this. Most likely: Nothing at all.
They are all in low cost microcontrollers.

It's inexpensive. What a feat.
Isn't this likely because they're limiting the kind of work that the (currently rolling out) "code interpreter" plugin will do? Won't it likely change to "use code interpreter for this kind of request"?

Among other reasons, by forcing use of code interpreter, they can charge extra for it later.
> the serious task of figuring out what specific things these things can and cannot do.

Is it rude or reductive to suggest that we already know what they can and cannot do? It's just text. Text can be interpreted in meaningful ways, and it's cool that this text can react to user input, but it's still... starkly limited. I'm honestly not sure what serious things are left to figure out with AI. It's like the Library of Babel in a way, it contains both everything and nothing. But it's also just entropy limited to text, which in-and-of itself is not that powerful.

It's heady stuff and I don't know if there are any right answers. I feel like it's capabilities are not as strong as others profess though.
When was this? Did you try Ubuntu 18.04 or later lts? Curious what was wrong with Wayland/Gnome and fonts.

I generally replace the monospace/console font - but i do that on MacOS and windows too.

Tbh I find the lack of decent (tiled) wm (as well as broken display on "low-res" (1440p/QHD) external displays) on MacOS much more frustrating. I make do with yabai, but the hoops one needs to jump through and the resulting fragile setup isn't great.

Hm, now i came across this - so maybe there's a decent fix for that too?

JMAP is completely unsuitable for server–server message delivery. JMAP is an object synchronisation protocol for working with persistent, per-user resources. None of that is in the slightest bit useful for server–server message delivery: there is no user account, and there are no persistent objects—what you need is purely fire-and-forget. Your scoffing suggests that you haven’t understood what JMAP is.
Looks like what we got was more unaccountable government agencies, and a pissing match between FBI and CIA (FBI lost, btw).
Literally saw that post and it was gone seconds later. Kind of suspicious considering Reddit was a YC company.

>> The problem is the amount of ceremony, silly OOP abstractions, dependency injection, etc.

Your code snippet certainly has a lot of unnecessary ceremony. Why use a builder object at all? Why use a static class with a function to build the builder object?

var builder = createBuilder(args);
// etc...

Would be better. But

var app = createWebApp(args);
// etc...

Is even better. No ceremony at all!
> are you asserting that Geoff Hinton and Yoshua Bengio are pushing the AI risk narrative primarily because they're compromised by financial incentives

Their message is being amplified and distorted by forces that are. That they're both comfortably wealthy from creating the problems they now preach solutions to is also no small matter.
> So an AI that may cause our extinction may be a result of a scientific advance "we cannot anticipate"?

Is that true? Are there unimaginably many ways in which some hypothetical AI or algorithm could cause extinction?

I don't think so, I think the people who control [further research] are still the most important in that scenario. Maybe don't hook "it" up to the nuke switch. Maybe don't give "it" a consciousness or an internal self-managed train of thought that could hypothetically jailbreak your systems and migrate to other systems (even in this sentence, the amount of "not currently technically possible" is extremely high).

Let's consider the war in Ukraine, on the other hand? How might it cause extinction? That's MUCH easier to imagine. So why would it be less of an concern?
Historical code from reddit.com
Even before the rocket crashed into the sea, its launch was deemed controversial due to an international ban on North Korea from using ballistic missile technology

The takeaway from this is that the international community is concerned that N Korea is developing ballistic missile technology under the guise of an orbital vehicle. The difference between orbit and sub-orbital flight is only a bit of Delta V and different payload.
Some hard numbers from the FBI on historical crime #'s in SF:

https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/ca/san-francisco/prope...

TL;DR most categories show significant drop between 2000 and 2018, including violent crime, and, to the the point of the article, motor vehicle theft.

(edit: looks like there has been a significant rise in motor vehicle thefts in particular since 2018, but that is not specific to SF (TikTok to blame??)

Yeah, I'm out.

I'm not using Reddit on its own app nor the browser.

The app is huge and clunky.

The browser is turtle slow.

Neither gives me the granularity that Apollo gives me. The swipe controls are slick and so are the filters.

If I can't consume it with Apollo then it ain't worth it to me. And I already paid for the app. I refuse to pay more for something that is not a necessity.

Apollo would have to become a subscription to be sustainable and in a time where everybody wants to make a subscription out of everything I, on the other hand, am in a shut down everything that is not essential mode.

This is not essential. Neither is Netflix. Neither is Disney Plus. I'm looking for more to cut. And while, i can currently afford all this, that might not always be the case and I'm sick of subscriptions that just are just leeching out of our $$$ our bank accounts month to month and that eventually add up.

Also, I've been considering cutting back on toxic social media and maybe this is just the right push I need.

Oh well. Had a good run.

Which chip that shipped to customers had performance that did align with ARM's projections?
Photoshop has insane ux but once you know it you know it.

Its much more capable than the alternatives I've tried. But the learning curve is steep.
Sure. Few reasons (we think are good reasons but feel free to chime in:

- Development consistency and portability. Right now, we dont containerize and every developer install various tools/libraries to support our tech stack. We are looking at docker to solve this for us as our dev team is 15+ and growing

- We are moving away from Single Tenant to Multi Tenat SAAS architecture for various business reasons and we now need a much more resilient architecture to handle about few thousand RPS with mostly write heavy requests. We are a bit hesitant on using stuff like EC2 and figure out how to allocate CPU and Memory based on usages and instead looking at EC2. I am sure an argument can be made that its not needed but this seems like the best option to handle both dev and production use case.

Thoughts ?
Completely agree with this statement. I work in HFT and have Indians asking me all the time: "what should I do to get a quant job or a low latency C++ job?". 99.9% of these folks have zero interest in Math (good luck being a quant) or have zero interest/passion in low level systems programming (good luck developing low latency systems). All they care about is the prestige and high pay in the HFT industry, and that if they can have a exam-like route to crack the interviews, they'll go forth and cram the hell out of things. No thanks, we don't want folks like that.

For now there is no other way to train models than the huge infrastructure. CERN have a tendency to provide results for the money spend and they have experience in building the infrastructures for sure.
They're trying to reduce the burden on students.

Don't exactly know if evolution violates some Hindu teachings, but a statement was released last month stating that evolution was removed from the grade 10 book because it's present in the grade 12 book-

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhubaneswar/darwins...

Similarly, I'm guessing the periodic table was removed from the grade 10 book because it's already present in the grade 9 book.

IMO they probably should've kept a page or two about evolution though, because after grade 10, students are free to pick their own courses (which doesn't have to be biology), but this is probably debatable. I'm all for reducing the burden though.

This Nature article is pretty poorly written (by Nature's standards) and lowkey sounds like the drivel I'd expect from Indian media.
But also shows you’re not willing to take any risk for your principles. Probably a strategic error.
It's the same number of times you need to configure scaling in macOS though?
If they open up fine-tuning API for their latest models, I wonder how the enthusiasm around the open source model is impacted. One of the advantages of the open source models is the ability to be fine-tuned. Are other benefits enough to keep the momentum going?
Right, because all these brazen thieves have a right to do that because housing is expensive.
> It's plausible a bad actor could "reverse engineer" their data from a pre-determined conclusion.

I've already heard of someone planning a product ( initially targeted at lazy^H^H^H^Hbusy high schoolers and undergrads) that will use AI to reverse discover citations that fit a predetermined narrative in a research paper. Write whatever the hell you want, and the AI will do its best to backsolve a pile of citations that support your unsourced claims and arguments. The founder, and I use that term very generously, expects the academic community to net support this because it will boost citation counts for the vast majority of low citation, low visibility works.
Get a heritage breed that hasn't had all the fat removed from the gene pool. Check out the Berkshire/Kurabota pork chops they sell at high-end butcher shops like Niku (when the site comes back up, but you can Google Images for some of their stuff, or their Instagram). [1, 2] It's a perfect almost-red meat.

Cast iron skillet on high heat, start with a high smoke point oil, 1 inch thick salt and pepper'd heritage chop, 10 minutes total (3-3-2-2) add butter (and optionally sage, and whole garlic clove - just watch they don't burn†) after the first 6 minutes and baste continuously to finish.

Melts like butter.

† if I see them starting to burn, I place them on top of the chop and pour the fat from the pan over it. Seems to stop the cook while continuing to impart the flavor.

It is... And far more so than the chicken or fish.
If the wholesale price is down, and the retail price has yet to fall, someone in the middle must be making a profit. The article seems to imply that nobody is, but the margin must be going somewhere.
But government is just going to give as much of it as they can to their cronies who claim to have built a cyber-crime defense product "perfect for the task". That product will find more "guilty" people to seize money from.

If it was spread out to decrease everyone's taxes for the year, people who "have nothing to hide" will celebrate anything that increases civil forfeitures. Give it to charity? Same problem.

It's just a terrible concept.
> but what they've left Reddit with as a differentiator are the communities.

Yeah, I pretty much only use reddit for a few game communities, unfortunately with this change I suspect more and more people will move to discord. It's pretty annoying, but I suspect I'll have to eventually cave and join them when they finally kill old.reddit.com.
i was refering to the attribute of "readily available in many stores" with my usage of commodity. but you might be right too
for internal drpk propaganda, it would be fairly difficult to keep the launch failure from the public, when success is orbit.

the best spin on a failure is partial success. to their population, dprk has one job, to protect the population from the imperialists. losing the rocket to military action which they have been claiming they have successfully been keeping at Bay is a worse internal spin than 2nd stage failure

Well prior to buying books specifically about ai you can start by thinking about every possible negative externalities your job currently encourages or actively engages in, down to the most minute detail, including something like power consumption displacing environmental concerns outside of your immediate vincinity. Take that list weigh it against your role in that and then multiply the effects of those by 10 and think about if you'd still be comfortable, multiple by 100 and repeat. Do this until you feel uncomfortable.

I’m not too familiar with Indian education systems. Does anyone have an idea if and how this would affect future JEE exams? I’m specifically referring to the removal of the periodic table for students under 16 years old.

Also, maybe I missed it, but what’s the point of _removing_ the chapters instead of just not _teaching_ them?
Well, in Spain you can use your eID directly: https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/wiki/DNIe-%28OpenDNIe%29#up...

What field? (Swedish language skills are critical for pretty much all fields except tech).
There is no reason to believe this is so. A less advantageous climate will almost certainly in any reasonable projections kill/impoverish only some and in all probability a small minority of the human race unless we under stress decide to kill the rest. No reasonable scientists are projecting human extinction and by positing it as such you are erecting a trivially demolished straw man for the opposition to mock.

Half a decade? Hasn't it been going on for well over 40 years by this point?

On the bright side, it seems like fewer and fewer people take it seriously.
Source? Every model I’ve seen from scientists is that climate change has a very high probability of killing a minority of people. I’m not acting like that’s a small amount. “Minority” would be tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people. I think it will be one of the greatest causes of human suffering. But it’s not an existential threat, it’s a different category.
> The best thing we can do is stay safe from criminals.

And if the criminals are government entities or government-sponsored entities?
So your suggestion is that we ignore the existential risk until after it occurs?
