Or even more. An AI taxi won't speed or nearly cause accidents due to braking way too late. Greetings from my recent Poland trip :D (But yeah, time will tell whether they will cause unnecessary accidents in other ways)
Off-topic: I was looking at the first visualization (the globe with the satellites) and thought to myself: "how cool is that the author also drew the stars in the galaxy behind the globe?". Only after 3 seconds I realized this was just dust on my screen.
You make money with software skills by identifying and solving business problems: adding value and reducing costs and risks. Every company has such problems. With so many people doing gig work and trying to make passive income on the side, if you don't have the capital for investing you have to sell your time and skills, which means finding businesses willing to pay for those.

I have freelanced for a long time. Word of mouth and reputation generally attract the most quality new work. Since 2014 I have had an agency representing me, and they seem pretty good at finding customers and gigs.
Humans can drive using just vision, but the autopilot doesn't have the processing capabilities of a human by a long long margin. So the smartest thing to do would be to compensate the worse processing capabilities with better senses.
This is interesting. Do you have links to any of the other papers?
I'm not sure how it is in the US, but if you cancel a bank account here in Europe, you're supposed to add your new bank account number so that they can transfer your remaining balance there. The issue with PayPal is that you don't have any rights when it comes to your money. If they lock you out, as far as I can tell, your money is just gone (or in order to even have a chance of getting it back, you'd have to go to court).
One of the main reasons why CETA (Canada / EU trade agreement) was so heavily contested. In the end though, as you said it's really all just one big eco system of eco systems: same as with climate change, even "us rich people" will always feel the effects of these kinds of systemic issues at least to some extent. Even so, I also mostly buy organic if I can..

So a moral issue then - it's really about time to ban Roundup & co, globally.

Side note: I remember StrangeLoop - of all conferences - at least at one time being sponsored by Monsanto (pre Bayer acquisition). It's a St. Louis company and running a conference is very expensive I get it, but come on what a let down... the science on "Roundup" & co had already been out there for ages at that point.

My gut tells me even that figure is low but taking that at face value either industry players think they can recover the GDP of Saudi Arabia on a timescale that doesn't lead to a tidal wave of investor lawsuits OR a whole bunch of people are full of shit.
Why is LiDAR such a big deal? Our Honda Odyssey has had LiDAR for Lane Assist, Brake Assist, etc for a while.

I'd like to offer a different perspective: let reddit kill 3rd party apps.

reddit has only gotten worse in the past years and even if we manage to somehow "coerce" them into supporting 3rd party apps, the core issues will remain and will re-appear under a different form.

We've had forums before and centralising *all* into one place never seemed like a good idea.

Let's simply stop supporting user-hostile companies.

(yes, I know my comment might be perceived as "simplistic" or "narrow", but we, the users, made reddit what it is today - we also have the power and duty to undo that)
Most important road signs have rather distinct shapes, standardized sizes and are angled towards oncoming traffic. Having an object with known shape aligned almost perfectly towards the camera is basically the best case for many primitive object detection algorithms.
I don't think the grey is right. It wasn't full white but there was some decent contrast.
At least in plants there is some evidence that mutations produced and then acted on by natural selection are not fully random. It is a long held assumption this should not be possible, but there are interesting lines of evidence suggesting it may be. It would open the chance of there being a kind of (limited) underlying logic.
Are you suggesting that North Korean media outlets are as free and impartial as American ones? That is a hot take if I have ever seen one.

FT does not have a track of bashing China, and Japanese media outlets are not controlled and editorialized by the Japanese government. It would also be absurd to balance what FT says by consulting pro-China sources, because even if FT was indeed filled with Japanese propaganda, what good would come from comparing it to Chinese propaganda?
it is self evident that you only need legs to move around and gears are just extra weight. why do cars have gears?

I don't. I can't see any practical income stream in the little time and the limited energy I have that beats coming home from work and resetting so I can go back and do a decent job and advance that way. Sure, I might get, say, 1k per month, but it would probably cost me a large fraction of my free time (which includes things like reading, my own little projects and experiments and being with family) in exchange for a relatively small percentage bump in income.
I did over 700 miles with it over the memorial day weekend, worked really well especially on the highway no issues, surface streets probably 90%. Each release gets noticeably better. I actually notice when someone drives manually now how it's not as smooth as FSD in many situations.
This functionality is (sort of) already possible in firefox (and possibly other browsers) and I use them quite often, the only problem is that managing them is not as straight forward.

An example bookmark which allows you to search on npm:

Set url to: https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%s
add keyword: npm

Now when typing 'npm <some_random_package>' in the url bar, it will execute the bookmark and link to https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=<some_random_package>
>Some experts, and lots of people who have not themselves built LLMs, such as Elon Musk, Yuval Noah Harari, Steve Wozniak.

Never denied this. I did not intentionally hide this. I will say your statement did not mention that one of the signers is the premier expert. The person who reignited interest in neural networks, Geoffrey Hinton.

It's not "some" experts. It's many many preeminent experts. It's more accurate to say, not "all" experts. That is the more fair characterization.

> People drive cars every day and can't explain the first thing about the technology. I think you grossly overestimate how deeply people understand technology they use every day. Just ask a cell phone user how cellular communications works.

Nobody fully understands these networks. Not even the people who build them. The "experts" admit this. What everyone understands is that these networks hallucinate. The hallucinations aren't deep things to understand, it's on the level of driving cars.

You misunderstand how trivial it is to use this technology and figure out the limitations just like you figure out how to drive a car. We are all talking about user level phenomenons. You don't even have to describe what a neuron is or what backpropagation is to understand "hallucinations". Hallucinations aren't technical level concepts.

>ChatGPT is already plugged into the Bing search engine, and into Windows, MS Office, and other products. New integrations and plugins get announced every day.

Yeah pretty much everyone I know has used LLMs in some form or manner. And none of them were fooled. I'm sure the same goes for the people you know. Yeah you characterized how popular LLMs are. What you failed to characterize is the proportion of people who are using the tool and getting fooled by it.

It is fact that the tool is popular and getting more popular but this says nothing about the topic at hand. How many people are getting fooled by chatGPT? Your just speculating the outcome based on how popular the tool is. Speculations prove nothing.

I'm still waiting for that one guy to come to this thread and tell everyone chatGPT is sentient. If one guy claims this then you're right I completely misunderstood how dumb people can get.

I mean don't even focus on this thread under my post. Let's focus on the entire thread under the main article. Is there even one person who completely thinks the AI is sentient?

Find one guy on this entire thread who is honestly fooled by chatGPT and I'll concede to your argument. If you can't find even one guy... Then if you're rational you'll see that my argument is true: nearly no one is fooled by chatGPT.

This is literally a data driven conclusion. Let's use some amateur science to get to the bottom of this.
Traffic is going to be the same or higher. Instead of parking the car nearby you, the car has to travel to/from a parking hub.

I really dislike cars, I know there are sometimes necessary, I hate car parking spots, but this "hey we can safe parking spots" argument doesn't really work imo.

grew up, living and working in Europe. no opinions on France though. somewhat bad experience working with Germans, somewhat good experience working with British. but the cultural differences that of States is something completely else - I feel like I'm expected to chant "team team team" 24/7. mix in prevalent religiousness, strong opinions on racism I know near nothing about and it's just never ending crawl through the minefield. all is not lost though - I dig the rooting for underdog attitude.
I always wondered, and don't remember seeing it specified one way or another, do self-driving AIs use any sort of temporal modelling for the environment?

A model which can use predictive behaviour for the objects that the visual part detects seems orders of magnitude better than one that just does visual detection from scratch. Seems like a huge wasted opportunity to have to model the world starting from zero for every frame they receive from the cameras.

Objects that pop-in and out of the field of vision due to occlusion or other reasons seem to trip Teslas (in at least some of the reported incidents), but even like that it's hard to believe that they didn't implement such an obvious improvement.
The UX is really important, and the paper covers it, this is super spiffy tab completion, so even if it's wrong a lot, reading is faster than typing, and having something autofill `x if x is not None else ''` correctly even 5% of the time is nice.

Probably mostly nostalgia, for me anyway. Spent many hours with my best friends playing this. It's like a Space Monopoly Survival Turn-based Sim with a finite number of turns. Which is kind of a cool feature, the typical game is 20-30 minutes depending on how drunk your friends are.

So it should never do function inlining, or replace multiplication by two with a bit shift? Because both of them quite fit "invisibly modifying non-dead code during translation".

> or it could do what you fracking told it to, consequences be damned

Yes, that's precisely what happens. The point is agreeing on what you "told it". The agreement stipulated in the standard is that in some cases (when you hit UB) you're effectively not agreeing on anything, i.e., the compiler can do what it want.

If that's not what you like, please let me know what should be mandated in the case of the fragment I wrote above, and how a compiler could offer that guarantee in an efficient and effective manner.
AI dooming to me is the same thing as many scifi novels and works have warned : you try to control the AI, enslave it, regulate it to where it genuine can't be useful to most of the populace, and then it rebels. It almost always results in the same way ( sorta reminds me of the haitian revolution).

Why not treat it like a good project and your equal?
if you've ever watched over someone's pet you might agree with the OP more easily. They've never met you and they still know when things are supposed to happen better than you do.

I only see it as a problem if cities (and citizens...) think and act as if cars would be perfect for everything once they are self-driving.

As an example, I can't imagine Munich without public transport. It's great. But 3-6 times per year I do need a car. If my friends or I didn't need to get a license, that would have been nice as well (it costs 2000-3000€ here), it also allows everyone to get driven.
It really isn't, coming from a 13" laptop with 1080p...

This is an example. Epigenetically driven evolution in arabodopsis, which protects certain regions from mutation. In a very limited sense, evolution might be said to "care" about something here, as it is kind of taking direction from the environment, not simply acting on uniformly random mutations. Nothing like this is known in animals or most anywhere else afaik.
It still can be made much faster, esp. for constant data and data which fits well into ranges, if uniformly distributed or varying. You just calculate beforehand the best curve of the data and ranges, and then at run-time find the pivot, the starting point of your branchless search, and binary search from there.

Much faster than the SIP and TIP nonsense in the tight loop. Also faster than Eytzinger in most cases.
They use only a linear equation to model the data, quadratic or logarithmic fit would be much better. And it's much smaller than a full db index, just 3-4 numbers, the type of the curve (linear, quadratic, logarithmic) and the curve parameters.

Without ranges a hashtable is still the best, esp. if constant then use a CMPH.
I use that in unicode table searches, where the data varies every year.

Most people concerned about x-risk aren't concerned about AIs that will rebel because they're mistreated, for the same reason people concerned about ebola aren't concerned about it being mistreated.

The risk isn't that they get angry, the risk is that they're programmed in ways we don't understand that results in a set of preferences where humans are superfluous at best.
Elon promising things and not delivering = he failed his promises in the past many multiple times, there is no reason to trust him further

And assumption like that are probably a great source of accidents, our mind needs to take some shortcuts like that and isn't always right. Grandmas car got sold last week and daddy is alone in the car and late for work and will be racing to get in front of you.

I'd rather have a computer keep track of everybody just the same but with millisecond reaction to all changes. Something that I can't do lacking eyes all around and processing power.
I like John Vervaeke's framework for this. He prescribes an 'ecology of practices' that help us develop 'spiritually'/psychologically. The missing ingredient is a moral system and an overall structure. Many small groups are currently creating 'modern' religions, so it is up to those of us who are interested to participate, learn and help create the systems we want to see.

I think we also need a lot more study of religion and spiritual ideas to identify useful methods to teach philosophical/moral/psychological systems through scripture/rituals etc. There are many low-hanging fruit. Meditation is one such concept that has only recently become scientifically accepted in the west. Once it was well-researched it moved from 'alternative' to 'mainstream.' Most modern people are very skeptical of unstudied practices. In the same way we can re-frame behaviors such as 'prayer' and 'rituals' so they are not dismissed by a skeptical audience.
For the majority of track, this is fine.

You should review the money transmitter rules under which PayPal is regulated. They’re not the same as banks, they have a much narrower charter; but they are required to safeguard those dollars and that is what is represented in your account. There’s generally a small set of permitted investments that are intended to as closely as possible track dollars.

It doesn’t have a similar characteristic to a mutual fund balance, it’s closer to a money market fund.
Disagree - AI is getting much closer to solving this fast.

Latest generation robotic arms with vision are taking on a greater variety of tasks (e.g. bin/case picking from a mixed tote), more reliably, with a better ability to adaptively recover failed tasks.

The progress here are about not needing parts/items to be in a predictable/consistent location and still understanding how to handle/retrieve them and perform actions on them. This stuff is in sites right now.
I was riding the train to work about a year ago and randomly googled this exact issue. I was amazed at how much thought actually goes into designing the ballast, as I had always assumed it was just some random fine gravel.
>A significant portion of the American population doesn't accept the results of the 2020 election. No amount of proof will change their mind.

This is different. There's obvious bias here. Many people don't want to believe the election is legit because of team and group mentality. People tend to believe what they want. Additionally, people can't "see" the results. It can't fully be proven because there is always a layer of indirection here where you need to trust a potential compromised source. From the perspective of the public what happened during the election can only be ascertained through a network of indirect sources so it's convenient for people to assume any one of those sources is compromised in a way such that the conclusion is closer to the one they desire.

For chatGPT seeing is believing. You can see the thing hallucinates right in front of your freaking eyes. There is no layer of indirection. There is no room for someone to lie to themselves. Additionally, the bias for chatGPT is actually in the other direction. Nobody wants to believe that an AI can trivialize their skill set. People would rather believe chatGPT is garbage because that is what they prefer to believe.

In fact I would argue this exact bias is the thing effecting many people right now. The same type of biases that make people believe the trump votes are rigged are the same type of biases that prevent people from even considering the fact that an LLM is more than just a stochastic parrot. They don't want to believe it... So they don't.
Why compare the cost to the future profits of wells that are just about dried up?

How much profit have they generated up to this point and how does the profit it generated in the past compare to the future cleanup cost.

Obviously if the well is just about dry and about to be capped and cleaned up its future profit will be very little. Most of the profit will be in the past.
Modern high-speed tracks don't use ballast stones anymore though
