Citations needed indeed - ones with formal tests / experiments being carried out and constructed that would show the problems.

Speaking of those, my best example of ChatGPT not having a good model of the world are citations. ChatGPT clearly has knowledge about how citations work, based on what it would tell you if you ask it. Yet it repeatedly invents non-existant ones: https://simonwillison.net/2023/May/27/lawyer-chatgpt/

To me, this indicates that some higher-level self-governance is missing. I'm not convinced we're too far from figuring this out (chain of thought and self-reflection experiments show promise) but regardless its a tangible example and test.

A cool experiment showing world model building is Othello GPT https://thegradient.pub/othello/ - but of course its a toy problem, because interpretability research is still far behind.

I would like to see more tangible examples and tests on both sides, otherwise it seems to me like we're arguing past each other.
Shouting in the workplace and three martini lunches?
Because for all it's fault most of the commercial media in the UK are worse. The BBC remains consistently more trusted by both left and right than most alternatives.
Wasn't that my point?
>Yes, and we still have a hard times containing them

Only because we're most of the time not properly motivated because there's no urgency. When a real threat, like a war or a virus say, comes around suddenly we can organize things pretty effectively.

It resembles the Bill Clinton quote about controlling the internet being like nailing jell-O to a wall. Yet autocratic governments have done that, and not just that but turned it into quite scary systems of control, with little difficulty. Just like 90s cypherpunk fantasies about digital anarchy these AI scenarios are nerd revenge fantasies. The intelligent guy outsmarting the big guy, but in reality physical power always wins.
We will be going back farther than most realize. A person receiving a phone call in 1950, a telegram in 1850, a book in 1750, or a clay tablet in 8650 BCE all had confidence it was the thoughts and words of another flesh and blood human being. "Going back" does not mean pre-internet days, it means pre-distant communication days.
That's what happen when you fanboy for a product, instead of using tools for what they are when you need them, you become their puppet, and they leverage you to push whatever BS they have in their pocket

The people with a crab or the electric zig on their social media profile thing are all the same and will end up being disappointed the same way at some point

Don't fanboy, stay critic and reevaluate your tools needs whenever possible
I suspect it's a big deal to people who speak at conferences, and not a big deal to people who don't. Court intrigue, essentially.
I read the book and played all the STALKER games, the games are based on the aproximate universe but that is all.
It's worth noting if a famine is before or after the Haber process (early 1900s). A famine in the 1900s is unusual.

There are plenty of rumors and myths floating around amongst taxi drivers in most countries, particularly third world ones in my experience (~15 years living in such countries). I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
Read the entire article. This is her ninth published novel, and some of her previous novels have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. And I've heard of at least one of them, Elsewhere. She's not unknown in literary circles.
You have no idea what you're talking about. You also have no idea how to reply to the correct comment on this website.
They are trying to stop people painting over it.

The title is.. well clickbait really.
Article states:

"we should note the IITC's obvious stakes in this. The nonprofit trade association was founded in 2000 and says it represents "toner and inkjet cartridge remanufacturers, component suppliers, and cartridge collectors in North America."

But no mention of the GEC's funding sources and conflicts of interest.

And yes, printer manufacturers suck
Also the content is usually either derivative or quite basic. Most speakers are just professional evangelists so they just speak without actual practical experience. They also just tour the world doing the same talk over and over again.

I tried to use it myself as an opportunity to advertise my company, myself or the problem domain I work in, and found that it's most efficient to go to recorded ones only and only attend for the smallest duration you need to.

It is interesting to look at history in US prior to the Federal Reserve Act.

If the government wanted to spend money on some effort, they needed the citizens to buy bonds.

This seems like a better form of democracy.
And once again we have a thread full of engineers claiming that heavier than air flight is impossible while ignoring the birds flying around outside.
They're not hiding that, quoted at the end 'we are just normal people, we want to make something back from it' and gives an example of another one that was (carefully) removed and sold for a tidy sum.
I never said fiat, I said usury (interest), and that goes on any underlying asset.

I see where this is going though. Its not a new idea, it runs very close to similar lines of thought put forth by the authoritarian socialists.

It all sounds like a magical utopia until you get into the details. Promises are put forth, but once power is ceded, abuses happen. Those in power will claim "but those only happen because there is not enough of power and we face oblivion, anyone not with us is against us, they threaten our future", and the fools that are scared will believe it, and they are the ones that allow everyone else to become slaves. Its part of a common authoritarian playbook, and has happened many times throughout history.

When you look at the requirements for clearing at a national scale, it requires a centralized system with coercive control, and absolute information (future sight). For the most part those systems only operate efficiently because of corruption, and there is no future sight thankfully.

It doesn't address a number of issues with any centrally planned economy and without incentives it must be centrally planned to produce goods. Having assets without being able to use them means no property rights. The borgeioux/monopolists take over and the common man only needs bare subsistence. That's fine in a pre-limits of growth world but we'll be at 9B people soon and predefined currency pool without expansion doesn't take into account population growth. So given contention, who decides who lives and has children, or dies and doesn't. In that kind of system, the people at the top.

You end up with no investment, no companies, and no future within a generation or two (20 years = 1 generation).

Inevitably shortages occur, and when they do it causes death when its a strategic good (i.e. food). That death also won't be coming to those at the top while there's such a larger pool below. The people at the top need the good more since they are responsible for decisions that impact the whole. Sometimes its necessary to cut off a leg so the body can survive. Its important that the designated people can continue to make these important decisions in times of crisis... so they would say.

You can tweak those systems any number of ways and end up with the exact same outcome when you don't address the core problem of economic calculation which doesn't have a solution in centrally planned economies. Its not new, its old, there's quite a large body of material from the 1920s-1940s on it.
I love y'all, both the word and y'all. Wish it was more widely used outside of the US South.
Who is “woke” in this context? Is it everyone involved? Do you just deem everyone involved with Rust “woke”? This is the most intellectually lazy shit, please find new words.
Many people really do want a form of shamanism still with their medical care.

The shaman does their useless ritual once a year and people are satisfied they are protected from black magic until the next annual checkup.
The guy you're replying to knows when those issues pop up and has relevant experience here. I'd listen to him. I too have experienced hardware failure at 100% load for months straight, and have resorted to underclocking for power efficiency and longevity reasons. The performance/cost/longevity curves are not linear. Just take a little bit off the top and you do much better.
My pet peeve is when articles say “LLMs can’t do X” but they really mean “OpenAI’s Chat GPT”.

It’s like saying “cars can’t run off gasoline” but their testing methodology is based around a Tesla.
That's impressive excus-making for doctor-priority scheduling density.

It's not "calm" to be on edge for 15minutes wondering when the provider will appear.

Also my office takes my BP as soon as my appointment time starts and then we sit waiting for doctor.
> A multipolar world with 999 well adjusted moral super intelligent AIs for every 1 problem case is a perfectly good outcome.

Such simplistic analysis is naive. A schizophrenic person can't spread, multiply themselves to increase its strength, but a rogue AI can.

The incidence of cancer cells is procentually very small, yet they routinely kill people, because they spread quickly.
Accessing netflow data "leaked" by ISPs as to who communicates with who ?

Running botnets of infected machines in order to see what certain bad actors from APTs may be doing, where they could be trying to get hired, etc ?
I'm a communist, and holy shit have both communist regimes and capitalist regimes killed millions upon millions in preventable causes.

People here generally jump on communists pretty assertively, but I think it's important to remember that autocracy is only one form of communism, and plenty of communist folks have a strong dislike of the Soviet model. (Just as, I'd imagine, many capitalists dislike the "use force to take food" model described in the article).

It drives me up the wall when people say, "communism/capitalism are unique in their killing of 100s of millions!" No, both have caused uncountable human suffering. We should be comfortable accepting that both need study and critique.
This isn't something that should be decided by corporations. They're almost always going to say no forever. This needs to be regulated and allowed by law after a concrete amount of time that is not significantly longer than the commercial lifetime of a device.
It doesn't look like a Banksy. His stuff is quite different aesthetically.

Graffiti is graffiti. Enjoy art whilst it's there, whether that's graffiti or not. But remember, nobody should be above the law, and there's far better artists than Banksy out there, graffiti included. There's some genuinely incredible murals out there that make this look like a doodle.

Why be precious about it? Banksy artwork shredded itself: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/watch-14-million-b...
Just don't say Brexit...

In the meanwhile ..."In the UK,
Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda made combined profits of £3.2bn in 2021, almost double pre-pandemic levels, Unite’s 170-page report shows. Global food manufacturers such as Nestlé have also increased profits and margins over the last 18 months."

Doesn't that suggest corporate greed as the cause, rather than Brexit?
Then why don't they use a paint that will wash off in the rain?
The other examples I would reach for are Côte d'Ivoire moving its capital from Abidjan to Yamoussoukro in 1983, or Nigeria moving from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. In both cases, the old capital is still far and away the largest city in the country, like 10× the new capital city.
Reminds me of The Tyranny of Structurelessness [0], even though there is a structure. My bet would be, no matter how smart you are, your ape genes have more to say than your brain. The rider (mind) and the elephant (emotions + brain stem)

Because big companies generally don’t want anyone speaking for them unless the statement has been carefully vetted.

Mere rumors can cause material stock price changes, that could cause direct trouble, or even trigger an SEC investigation.

Jakartan here, will never move even if the whole city get flooded (more than it has been). I'll probably get a houseboat and settle down.

More realistically, Northern Jakarta is sinking, but the Southern part (and the suburbs/exurbs in the surrounding area) are still going to be okay and Jabodetabek will still be home to millions.
Why were they hoarding grain?
Rule of thumb i like to follow before making any important decisions I ask myself "am I in a high emotional state". If the answer is yes, I refrain from making a decision. I wait till I can affirmatively answer "no" to that question. Its a simple little filter you can apply to avoid rash decisions (or social media posts).
If they want more performance art, they can throw in freezing the salaries of all government workers above a upper-middle manager as these people have the power which is more valuable than money. That would be the White House and its staff, the Congress and its staff and the senior government and military leaders. Given that the "company" is not turning a profit at the moment, management should take a bigger cut than the workers as they have the aforementioned power and they also have the responsibility. Everybody else takes direction.

There's probably no way to prevent payoffs, err, campaign donations but it would be very nice if people who run the government at any level don't (really) profit from that

Yeah, I'm being naive today - the worker-bees will take it in the shorts.
Unless the cost is prohibitively high, I don't see how this would change the current situation in any way.
I didn't actually work on the device itself; that was after my time. By the time I left, they basically just had the MVP of the SDN software itself done -- there wasn't even a device it was scheduled to be on. Sorry :/
Nvidia DGX versus Nvidia HGX: What Is the Difference?
While this might work for you, I caution others from taking this advice. Why’s tend to be accusatory and puts the responder on the defense. Try to re-word your Why question by using the other Ws (what where when and how).
Can we not? That point you're picking on was one sentence in the post ("As my buddy Aman pointed out, the context that this would have also been the first keynote by a person of color at RustConf should not be lost here.")

Trying to expand it into a giant anti-anti-anti-woke frame is a little distasteful. Even if you're one of the people who thinks any discussion of race is racist, can't you just accept that some people view lack of diversity as a problem worth noting and leave it at that? It's evidence, right? Certainly "Rust has never had a non-white speaker" seems like a problem, even if it's not. It's not wrong to note it in passing in the context of another argument.
Not sure there's a real connection between the languages at least when it comes to "drama". Especially considering JavaScript is the most used language, or at least in the top 5 at this rate due to how low the entry barrier is for serious use. So purely from numbers, there's bound to be a bunch with a background in JavaScript, as with any other new language. You could have also said the same thing about Python for the same reasons.

IMO the root actually comes from the very heavy social signals that were utilized by the Rust team early on (you can read a lot about them through the core team's reddit posts atp, especially under threads about the code of conduct). This effectively became a beacon for many people to gravitate towards. So when you see these sort of very dramatic disagreements that's laughable to anyone outside of that bubble, it's because that's the type of people Rust was (unintentionally or intentionally) beaconing.
Well if you read past the headline you'll see that the book has sold over a million copies worldwide, which is very good in the literary world. This is certainly not a participation trophy.
The article notably avoided the topic of WHY the technical talk was objected to.

Are we to surmise that some people in the Rust leadership felt that the speaker was invited because of their race/skin color, and objected on this basis?

Or is it less dramatic than that -- simply that some people in leadership felt that the technical content just wasn't good enough, and the author of the article we're reading can't bear someone being judged on technical merit?

Either way, to put it in simple terms, I think we're reading an article from someone on the woke/progressive side complaining about the actions of the other side, right?

Perhaps it's actually this article (a complaining article with bizarre overly emotional language) which is evidence of problems with Rust's leadership community and the decision being complained about was reasonable?
New bacterial clues about why young people are getting colorectal cancer

You're equating data that is publicly accessible and that which probably isn't.
Search Gizmos – news, Web, and Wikipedia search tools
This sourced to reports in The Sun and the Eastern Daily Press. For those unfamiliar with U.K. newspapers, these are well-known sources of clickbait low-effort journalism. Never trust their headlines, for starters.

Think about how a couple of landlords who live in Enfield in London can have "woken up one morning" to find that their property in Lowestoft, in East Anglia, had been painted on, for instance. They're approximately 200km apart.
You could have made your point without accusing anyone of parroting „the media“. Russia has agreed to the borders of Ukraine in 1993 and from then on 2 more times. They have onesidedly broken the agreement and attacked a peaceful neighbour, no commitment to not joining NATO has been granted. These are facts you can easily look up, no need to come up with made up security concerns which have been no problem a decade earlier.
I found a surprisingly simple workaround...

Put a resistor, about 1kohm, in the power line to the security chip on the cartridge.

Now, whenever the printer tries to read data from the chip, it works. Whenever it tries to record data to the chip (for example, marking the cartridge as empty), that uses more power, and the memory chip doesn't respond.

Amazingly, the whole setup just works and prints forever, saying the cartridges are always full...
You don't have to have power to deescalate.

We're teaching our children to respond appropriately to conflict—in the situation above, either one of them can deescalate by approaching the conflict reasonably. He could have avoided it altogether by asking nicely for her pencil. She could deescalate by recognizing that he really wanted her pencil and making a trade that they both are happy with. It's hard for them to do because their escalatory actions feel more immediately effective at bringing "justice", but they don't work out in the long run.

The cycle of childishness isn't going to be solved by a post that triggers an internet mob, that's just another childish response in the cycle.
What is your heuristic to determine what is likely?

The plateau of human intelligence isn't especially relevant given we are the product of evolution rather than engineering.

Personally,I think we stand a pretty decent chance of making a horrible mess of this all well before reaching AGI. However, a machine that could improve itself would not be limited in anyway that humans are; and I think we know little of how it would behave.

That is assuming it can't be controlled; otherwise it will behave as directed by whoever controls it.
None of that is alleged in the linked article...
I'm guessing 7 before I read it. Ok, it's not a guess. Am I right though?

I'm more baffled that they thought it would be fine for them to include the keys. I wouldn't have risked the project on that kind of risk/uncertainty.
Criticizing how the author (who just left Rust) engages with the community while he himself criticizes how engagement with the community is done is rather valuable.
Unless you have some pre-existing medical condition or are over 45 years old ... I don't see the purpose of annual visits. I'm in my late 30s and haven't gotten a physical in a decade. Why would I? I'm heathy, exercise, sleep enough, have a good diet, etc. All they do is weigh you, make you answer 1000 questions, engage in some impersonal small talk, and push unnecessary inoculations on you (oh, and suggest expensive blood/lab work). I feel fairly attuned with my body so if something is wrong, I can go to a doctor, but "preventive" medicine, just seems like a money making scheme.
I’d say drama queens on both sides
Oh wow. How long you been there?
There's no reason to assume that government care supply would rise to meet demand. If private pay is allowed, and medical school enrollment is not artificially constrained, supply can rise to meet demand at a low price.

A visually simpler GUI (such as Luna vs. "classic" on Windows XP) isn't necessarily less resource-intensive. Implementing an actual different, less resource-intensive rendering path could help, but would double the development effort.
Better than very attentive, careful and well rested humans? Sure.

Just better than the average human driver sampled at any given time? Not so sure.
I enjoy picture sites as I am sure others do but I think that the domain should have articles that could be submitted here that people could discuss. Perhaps an article on lazy-loading of images or something along that line? Maybe an article on loading images on lossy networks over http2 vs http3 and then give two end-points to test. The articles could link to the apex of the domain to provide examples.
> This is where copyright is broken. Because they are perfectly happy with nobody being able to play them, and the only option being "buy new stuff".

Copyright is working as designed. In fact it's weaker in the USA than elsewhere, where it plugs into the broader concept of authors' rights. Because a work reflects on its author's reputation, that author has broad latitude in determining whether and how their work gets presented and distributed. If Disney decides that Song of the South needs to go into the Disney Vault forever, they are within their rights to decide that, per the principle of authors' rights, not just the letter of copyright law.
Police cooperation: MEPs pave the way for more efficient data exchanges
