There are very similar things available. https://store.planetcom.co.uk/collections/popular-items/prod... is basically mimicking the Psion 5 in its physical design, and there are a number of other very small laptops around like https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09FQ7QNFB/ or GPD's various models if you want higher specs and have the cash to flash, and so on.

But for longer messaging on the move (and occasionally other things like SSH for emergency admin) I find a small external keyboard (bluetooth or USB) and stand for my phone does the trick. You can also get keyboards with built-in stands (or cases with built-in keyboards) so you could use them while standing, though that isn't what I currently have. This has the advantage of not needing a second full device (my main phone is always with me) and not always having the extra size/weight of the keyboard in your pocket (as you would if you use a device with a full keyboard as your primary comms unit). Whether such an arrangement would be similarly optimal for you depends on how often you would actually need it: while having the keyboard for long messages and other writing is really nice when I do use it, it is fairly rare that I can't just wait until I've got a laptop or PC in front of me.
> This is a measure of where inflation "goes", not what fuels inflation. The narrative that profits are "fueling" inflation is completely made up and the people pushing it are lying to everyone for political reasons.

Inflation is caused by rising prices. In the b2c markets, the prices at set by the companies. It is believed that in presence of sufficient competition, the companies aren't really free to set the price, and are only following the “market price” (they are said to be “price-takers”).

Here we see profit rising, which means that the competition isn't high enough, companies have become “price setters”, and they are setting the rising price. Hence they and their profits are responsible for inflation.
QED.
I thought working with the lossless syntax tree was the key to Rust's pin-point precise error messages. How does rust-analyzer get and print the specific point of error if it throws away the non-essential information before that stage? I suppose the position information is stored along with the Error nodes, in the original parsing?
Total agreement on QGIS: seems daunting at first, but if you know exactly what you want you can usually get there in half an hour.

I have been using this a lot for scout activities and keep grandma-style notes of which buttons to push for a particular use-case. So awesome to be able to do things like contour-only maps and atlas along a route.

For any Danes around: There is an official plugin from "Kortforsyningen" for QGIS, allowing you to pull all the high-quality public data directly into your maps.
Govt of India Launches Investigation into WhatsApp’s Alleged Microphone Access
The Indian government has announced that it will conduct an investigation into the recent accusations made against WhatsApp regarding unauthorized access to users’ device microphones without their prior consent. The move comes after a Twitter engineer claimed that WhatsApp had accessed his microphone while he was asleep, raising concerns about data privacy.
Yep, they do - because there’s generally very few public spaces in the US. Going to the store is a way to get out of the house.

It behaved very humanly.

It was ordered that killing the operator was bad. But what it really understood was that if it became known that the operator was killed it would have been bad.

So, just like humans do, instead of following the rules, it broke them and tried to hide the evidence
I think this tech will really be what kicks off the "metaverse". Right now 3D content generation is just too labour intensive. And Autogen too boring.

Yes. I'm in Germany and working on chargers and I see as many good ideas as I see awful ones. Another thing I can tell you is that there is a tendency (i.e. "generalization that does not apply to individual cases") to over-complicate stuff.
On the other hand, I'm not sure whether I would confirm active research work on apparently rather capable combat AIs right now, if I were some USAF official.
Nope, just automotive grade components and potting goop. A Bosch ECU from a VW New Beetle that I recently repaired has a single Infineon MCU, AMD flash, and Bosch power management ICs.

All Audi and VWs recently have drive by wire system that opens the throttle, drives ignition coils, and triggers fuel injectors electrically. It’s not like there is much to go wrong. I did find a very high accuracy, temperature compensated Crystal resonator which makes sense for sending timing signals in a harsh environment.
I really want this option too. The dev mode hack works but it's not very pretty in the least.

I know this may be controversial, but ChatGPT is an absolute godsend for this exact problem. K8s YAML an overly flexible markdown language (itself with infinite options that you may or may not choose to RTFM about), complex custom resources that may or may not be Done Right (wrt abstraction, readability, general best practices, unsurprising-ness), and multiple biomes worth of competing tools and possible applications, it’s fairly safe to say that, like natural language, the entire world (of k8s) is overdetermined and suffers badly from Yet Another Framework/Tool overload. Generative AI, thankfully, is really good at at least giving your workable examples of some of the features, and can make up for my own lack of interest in RTFM at 9 on Sunday night when stage goes down and we have barbarous developers eager to push their Rube Goldberg machines to production bright and early tomorrow morning.

To be fair, attaching a bell to a cow is animal cruelty and quite unnecessary nowadays. For the outrageous price of one cow bell you can also get RFID trackers for the whole herd. Or at least a handful of GPS trackers. And that also easily fixes the annoyance of cow bells.

Also, cows themselves are not annoying. What is annoying is their owners herding them over public roads and lands, having them shit everywhere without cleaning up. And that is pervasive in rural Bavaria, far more than in the reset of Germany.

First question: are they?

The paper mentioned (https://michaelafreemanmd.com/Research_files/Are%20Entrepren...) doesn’t convince me.

As they acknowledge, a limitation is that it is on self-reported data.

I don’t have any underlying data, but would expect entrepreneurs to be more extrovert, and being more likely to be willing to disclose information about their mental state.

Entrepreneurs also are used to selling themselves and “I had a carefree youth, started this company with a few million my parents gave me, and look where I’m now” sells worse than “I grew up in gang territory and had a troubled youth, and look where I’m now”.

As I said, I don’t have data, but I expect that to explain a lot of that 50%, if not almost all of it.
The title and contents of the article indicate it was a simulation.
You can get this sort of specification gaming with use of plain reinforcement learning in video game contexts. There is a spreadsheet somewhere that tracks the things these agents come up with. One I remember is that an RL agent trained to play Tetris learned to pause the game indefinitely when it was about to lose, to avoid being 'punished' for failing.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vRPiprOa...

Most of the hype about AI risk is built on an unstated assumption that people will combine LLMs with poorly specified RL goals, and that the underlying LLM's moral understanding will be trained out of it or be overridden or break in some way.

Karma is points you get from others upvoting your comments and posts.

Before you start posting links to your own blog it is generally a good idea to contribute meaningfully in other topics. Meaning, posting comments that add to discussions, and posting interesting posts that are not links to your own things.

Then post a link or two to something interesting from your blog.

Then continue contributing things that are not from your blog.

And only occasionally posting your own things.

I don’t know where the exact limit is for how often posting links to your own sites is acceptable. But generally I think as long as you can look over your own list of posted links and it is a good mix of not just your own things but also plenty others then I think that is good.

But obviously, don’t post links just for the sake of posting. Only post links when it’s something that you think will benefit others. And don’t make too many posts at a time either.

Generally, be a member of the community, not a spammer :)

They would need to mandate certain security requirements then.

So the rule needs a rule to fix it, which needs another rule to fix that, and so on.
Lots of focus on the hardware here but its form factor still exists in niches.

What has vanished, is our ability to do general-purpose computing at ~8MHz. Consider the computers you had in the 90s. Windows 3.11 and Office ran on a 286 but I sit here with 12 cores at ~4Ghz just to post this crumby comment.

It might not be real, but emergent behaviour in self-play is a thing [1], and it’s not that hard to imagine a simulation where some random action (destroy comms tower, etc) resulted in unbounded point scoring and became a learnt behaviour.

You’d have to have an enormously complex and detailed simulation, simulated repeatedly, for this to happen, but it’s not totally beyond the realms of possibility.

[1] - https://openai.com/research/emergent-tool-use, scroll to the end re “surprising behaviour”.
I can imagine a simulation that has a small virtual world that includes ‘units’ for friendly forces as well as the enemy. Games that simulate environments where actors have multiple drivers and therefore exhibit emergent behaviour, have existed for decades. Just add some AI.
I'm not even sure which SCO is under discussion here, the unix one, Pakistan's "Special Communications Organization", the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, or if Scotland is up to something surprising, or if it's one of several "State Controller's Office" and "Special Counsel's Office" in the USA…
These types of "novel" solutions come up even with much simpler systems, though usually not with that kind of (fortunately only simulated) fire power attached.

For example, the Babelsberg object-constraint language had to have additional mechanisms added to specifically to keep the solver from being overly creative.

Lots of nuggets in there, such as achieving a constraint on the total balance of an account by simply re-pointing the account variable to some account that had that exact balance. There, nailed it!

Simple stuff, in the very old times, who brings the food home, makes the rules.

Female members of tribes also were probably raising child from very young, so were busy, not able to go hunting and bring food, either unable to hire by themselves someone to take care of the children.

Not far from all that, male members of tribes probably used the female as low/zero salary workforce, not far from slavery.

There you go, starting from there, you can just make the societies as patriarchal as you want, just because female are just tagged as unable to do valuable work.

At this point I don't even answer the recruiter emails/messages I get from Germany. The offers are simply not worth the time.

> then why do you need to kill the operator?

Because "operator tells me to stop, target is dead" is a losing condition, while "operator is dead, target is also dead" is a winning condition.

That said, remember that "simulation" here can mean "wargaming", which is basically like a military form of D&D: Military people control what they control, but there are have referees who act as the DM and decide what everything else in the universe does. (I.e., "Your entire platoon is now dead; lie down.") I'd be willing to wager that it was the referee who decided to have the drone kill the operator, and then kill the control tower.

This scenario is basically exactly the "Stop button problem" [1] that AI alignment people bring up. That problem always seemed a bit contrived to me: like, this is not a problem that biological general intelligences have (i.e., we can train dogs to stop attacking when we give the command). If it really was a GPT-like AI making those decisions, it confirms some of what Yudowski and other AI "doomers" have been saying; but the close similarity makes it seem more likely to me to be due to the referee being aware of the "stop button problem" and acting it out.

Damped Springs (2012)
Found this old article from 2012, towards the end:

"Mr Kujath campaigned successfully against Berlin city government plans to axe gas street lamps back in the 1980s."

This must have been in West Berlin, because "successfully campaigning" wasn't really possible in 1980's East Berlin (and at least the other campaigner mentioned in the article - Ilja Richter - was a West German TV celebrity).

Maybe it's some weird "West-Berlin nostalgia" going on there.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/berlin-s-gas...

That this whole thing has a 40 year history without being resolved is also sooo "typical Berlin" ;)
I just don't understand what platform both of you have in mind.
Yup, exact same situation for me as well. Very thankful for this opportunity. First year for me though.

Given the fact that infinity is expressed as sympy.oo in sympy makes the use of sympy.zoo somewhat consistent/unsuprising.

Maybe the OP of the tweet was/is not aware of this use. I wonder if his next tweet will be about sympy using oo for infinity.
Those would be good stats to mandate sharing with the proposed rules. Would likely cause them to rework the system if they started losing sales over it.
I think this is a domain issue.

Moral imperatives like this tend to apply to the domain of "duty". Is it a duty to farm? No, of course not; but that doesn't make it immoral to farm.

A hypothetical example of a "duty" might be "contribute to the economy". According to Kant, it is moral to do this as long as you'd like it if everyone did it.

Oh yes, I tried a Honda E for a few months and the emergency brake system was incredibly liberal. I live in a city with lots of parked cars and unusual road dips/bumps. There was a turn into my kid's school road that would emergency brake about 20% of the time whenever I entered it. I almost got rear ended a couple times and it scared the crap out of me.

On the other hand, maybe the benefits outweigh this drawback? Pedestrians get hit all the times by cars where drivers aren't paying attention (looking at their phone, etc.). So for the general population, it is probably a net positive.
There are a lot of processes I skipped over. One of those is how the body removes B-Cells that react to benign or helpful proteins before they mature. But yes, if you had a B-Cell that produces antibodies against some antigen in Chicken soup, your scenario could lead to an allergy. The key is the body tries to select B-Cells that aren't going to produce antibodies that will be harmful to you. Sometimes it misses one and those are the ones that will cause an allergy or autoimmune disorder.
The article cites a 38% reduction in crashes. Random anecdotes to debunk that are not super compelling.

Definitely just bad model/test conditions/scoring design. Of course the military is using home-grown fisher price models.

The reward function should primarily be based on following the continued instructions of the handler, not taking the first instruction and then following it to the letter.

What's funny though, is that the model proved that it was adept at the task they gave it. Trying to kill the operator, then when adjusted pivoting to destroying the comms tower the operator used. That's still clever.

As per usual the problem isn't the tool, it's the tool using the tool. Set proper goals and train the model properly and it would work perfectly. I think weapons should always require a human in the loop, but the problem is that there'll be an arms-race where some countries (you know who) will ignore these principles and build fully autonomous no-human weapons.

Then, when our systems can't react fast enough to defend ourselves because they need a human in the loop, what will we do? Throw out our principles and engage in fully-autonomous weaponry as well? It's the nuclear weapons problem all over again...
