I'm always amused at how these journalists will make very confident and sweeping predictions about how thing X is going to do Y in the future; yet, I hear few stories along the lines of, "Brilliant journalist makes millions in the stock market after boldly predicting how X will affect Y".

I honestly don't know what AI will do to office workers, but I'm hopeful that it will whack the mediocre middle of media outlets, like business insider for one. Most of their articles already read like they were written by Chat GPT.
It appears so.

I'm buying lunch for PMs, customer success/analytics people in SF
Hi! I am Daksh Gupta, co-founder of Tabnam. I am buying lunch for PMs that deal with customer feedback in any capacity (collection, analysis etc. )

Requirements:

You are a PM or customer analytics/success person (not necessarily software)

You can get lunch in or near the San Francisco Financial District

If this sounds like you, feel free to pick a time from this calendar and comment on this post https://calendly.com/dakshgupta/free-lunch

Why am I doing this?

I am building tools to help customer obsessed companies get more and better feedback, and analyze it with AI. Over lunch, I want to learn about your job, what you do, and what problems you have, so I can build tools to solve them. This is the exchange, you get free lunch and get to rant about your job, I learn about your challenges and build tools to solve them.

I need to know more about you to make sure this is not a scam:

That's perfectly reasonable. Here is my Linkedin and our company website.

I can't accelerate towards next week, but I can predict when next week will happen, with extreme accuracy. Is this the same for reaching the singularity? Does the person falling (for the sake of this example let's assume they maintain consciousness) experience the passing of time as they fall further "into" the black hole? If so, how long would one experiencing the falling until they reach the singularity?

I think it's more about the conditions that they're kept and transported in rather than us not killing and eating them.

> Eating something alive is wrong for it’s own reasons.

Whilst I agree in principle, there's a fuzzy line in what we consider to be alive. Bacteria certainly seem to be fair game with yoghurts being specifically sold as "live".

I don't know if animal welfare laws currently cover eating animals whilst they're still alive, though it sounds feasible.
Trading a commodity doesn't consume it. If I trade a hamburger, the hamburger isn't consumed. It's only consumed when I eat it.
a) Vastly different currencies/policy exposure. Argentina is an economic dumpster fire while Chile (and/or Uruguay) is kind of the "Singapore of south America."

b) Even together they are tiny. Chile is 25% the GDP of Mexico, with a much higher GDP per capita. ie, Mexico is both much larger now and has much more headroom to grow.
I own a pair of NReal. They'd need to do serious improvements in reducing jitter and improving AR tracking. Now I like their glasses form factor better, but I doubt they'll be able to match Apples polish. Even if it's just due to not being able to purchase ARM chips as powerful as Apple's.

> If you meet one of these people hours before their heart attack you often wouldn't describe them as 'on the cusp of death'.

I disagree. It's not that the symptoms aren't there, but that they have become normalized due to obesity, smoking, etc. being commonplace. Shortness of breath, sleep apnea, feeling weak, upper body tension/pain, etc. are usually present for quite a while in most people before it finally happens. People don't check their blood pressure often enough despite it being so cheap and easy to do.
Is kingdom animalia some magical line in the sand? Are we not okay with killing mosquitoes, bedbugs, or other (harmful) pests?

The world is much more continuous than discrete, and any hard boundary is going to be arbitrary. I would guess the current median line (meaning 50% of people would be okay with vs against killing) is somewhere around small rodent, and unlikely to deviate far from that in the near future.
Dave Arnold's essay on killing lobsters is a good practical complement to Wallace's theory:

It starts out saying "Passkeys can now be synced using external providers", how does it say nothing about external providers? I'd love to see the detail as well but, lacking that, there is nothing in the article that says these takes are correct and the others misconceptions either.
> I'd consider the "doomsday" scenario wherein someone develops a technique for running an OpenAI, GPT-4-scale model on a MacBook or iPhone.

That's not a doomsday scenario for Nvidia. There is essentially infinite demand for better AI, only limited by what can be provided at acceptable cost. If you can run GPT-4 on a macbook, you can do even better with a more massive model. If you can run a good image model on a macbook, then the next frontier is running a good video model, etc.

The real doomsday scenario for Nvidia is that there seems to very little differentiating their hardware. Their lead in the space exists because they developed good software support early, which lead to everyone standardizing on them. But AI is not like graphics where the problem domain is complex and the APIs are very ill-defined, and you can do all these tricks to make it faster and better. Instead, AI is almost entirely doing just a handful of very simple operations. Other vendors should be capable of providing good software support eventually, and at that point, what is Nvidia's moat? What justifies their margin?
In skeptical of any claim that software will make the world better. Perhaps it's selection bias, but all I can see is software overcomplicating things to the point that any benefit derived from it is overshadowed by the maintenance burden and unforseen externalities. I say this as a once Utopian hopeful, Uber was going to get rid of the monopolistic taxi cartels, google was going to put balloons up and fiber and give us all affordable high speed connectivity. All they seemed to do was get in control with these pitches and then become worse than their predecessors.

I am not someone who thinks AI is going to kill us all. But I dont think it's going to usher in a new utopia either. I think probably it's going to be useful and beneficial in some ways, cause problems in others, and like always, our nature and behavior will determine the human condition going forward.
I mean, if one of ten happened while on psychedelics, and the person spent 0.0001% of their life under the influence of psychedelics, that's a pretty significant contribution.

I think that is the point, at least for me.

I'm no vegetarian, and I like to indulge myself with some 'pulpo a la gallega', But one thing is killing an animal because we are at the top of the food chain, and another thing is killing in the name of sport or culture.

Why should animal slaughter be halted? I spend a lot of time outdoors and nature is exceedingly cruel. Animals and fish in my neck of the woods constantly are suffering with festering, infected wounds, missing limbs, gnawed up faces and especially, starvation. It just seems odd to direct our human emotions, experiences, and feelings towards other species when slaughter and death is part and parcel of their very existence. If the goal is to reduce animal suffering then we have to go way, way past not eating them since they inflict so much suffering on each other. Something like large non-profit zoos or preserves and eliminating all carnivores from the planet.
I wish everyone thought this way. Yes I know there are reasons to eat meat. But it is still murder at the end of the day.
Do non-humans also create YouTube videos showing off their bravado (or whatever it is) where they knowingly inflict pain and misery on other species?

The article is missing some details so I won't comment on the legal and privacy issues.

> I could trick you into adding a hardware key, then install a tampered version of Windows with it.

There are other issues as well.

For instance, on a PC the security settings are applied per machine and not per partition, so you can't mix an unsigned OS on one partition with full security on another partition.

Also:

> On Wednesday, researchers at security firm ESET presented a deep-dive analysis of the world’s first in-the-wild UEFI bootkit that bypasses Secure Boot on fully updated UEFI systems running fully updated versions of Windows 10 and 11.

Despite Microsoft releasing new patched software, the vulnerable signed binaries have yet to be added to the UEFI revocation list that flags boot files that should no longer be trusted.

Not a species, per se...but consider what happens in a volcanic eruption.
Morally, it's pretty significant that we make conscious decisions (as a process that we often see as distinct from the rest of the animal kingdom) to kill and eat thousands of other animals mostly for the sake of taste, rather than for the sake of necessity, which is why most other animals hunt.
Can LLaMA be used for commerical purposes though (might limit external contributors)? I believe, FOSS alternatives like DataBricks Dolly / Together RedPajama / Eluether GPT NeoX (et al) is where the most progress is likely to be at.
> churning out the same cookie cutter individuals

The question is not how to create individuals with different mind, but how to create them in enough mass that it reaches 51% before governments forbid whatever you are doing. And if you have so much power that the government doesn’t come at you, what kind of power were you looking for.
I'm confused. Eating your prey alive is dangerous. Are you sure? I thought that "hunters" kill their prey before eating?
Inference. It's a big bottleneck for RWKV.cpp, second only to the matrix multiplies.
We can't even really define what it is to be a thinking mind, let alone determine what it means to suffer. We just relate more to (some) animals than plants and imagine empathy from their position. Its just another form of species-ism to protect the animals but not other life.
Per TFA, "98% accuracy rate" is advertised by Turnitin. They don't say what they mean by that, but if that's the specificity, then that means a class of 300 with no cheaters would have 6 false-positives on each assignment, making it not particularly useful for catching individual cheaters. OTOH if it really is 98% accurate and you get 100 positives on an assignment, you can probably figure there is systemic cheating going on.

How I Used AI to Transform Real-Time News into Consistently Funny Satire
Yes, and one link I'd like to highlight: https://developer.apple.com/visionos/work-with-apple/
Actually no. The plural of anecdote is not data. This is a single anecdote, not a set of data from a properly blinded or designed study.

Humans are TERRIBLE at knowing reality. That's like the whole point of the scientific process. People's self reports are literally the worst evidence ever used in science, and you have to actively work against your subjects and their brains to tease any actual signal out of that noise.

Consider for example, many airplane accidents have people reporting the plane was hit by a missile, even though we can have independent evidence that they weren't even looking in the direction until after the event.

We KNOW the brain lies to you as a matter of course, and makes up pretty much everything it can for the purpose of being lazy. Your entire consciousness is a fiction, vulnerable to all the normal human biases. We KNOW it is incredibly easy to mangle, twist, modify, and combine memories, and that pretty much everyone has memories that don't match reality.

- That landing page is obnoxious. Show me content, not marketing.
- I have 0 interest in installing an app.
- If I installed an app, I would only use it to consume content, not write content.
- It is incredibly hard to write well thought or researched content without a web browser/keyboard.
- The colored thread lines are extremely distracting and obnoxious.
- The default "hinglish" instead of my own language "en-US" is confusing for a
platform that promises to be language agnostic.
- The choice to write text that tells me to click the button, and not creating an
interface where button clicking is natural is UI that could be improved.
- Show that language is seamless, not that I can switch between them.
- "Klan" is synonymous with Ku Klux Klan to Americans, an extremely racist American
organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan
- Putting "Klan" an organization that hates brown people of any type next to

> don't let AI control what you see, get an unbiased look at content that everyone is voting on.

Everyone claims no bias. If someone says unbiased, I do not trust them. I would prefer someone to show me they are self aware of their own bias and know what those bias are.

If I watched news that told me only things I agree with, I would consider that unbiased news. In China, "Taiwan is part of China" is a statement Chinese would consider to have no bias. "unbias" has no practical meaning.

Even if AI isn't optimizing for "engagement"/addiction, there are still bots impersonating users which use AI to influence conversations.

We only bear moral responsibility for that which is in our power to affect.
In the process of going public, the SEC is not evaluating if the business model of a company is legal, it is evaluating if the company is exercising the proper financial disclosures to market its securities to the public. There are a bunch of publicly traded cannabis companies that have business practices that are illegal under federal law, and the SEC doesn't care. What matters is that the companies disclose to the public that the risks of investment include federal regulation and that their annual disclosuers.

For instance, curaleaf, the largest cannabis company includes this bit:

"The Company derives its revenues from the cannabis industry in certain states of the U.S., and the industry is illegal under U.S.

federal law.

The Company is involved (through its licensed subsidiaries) in the cannabis industry in the U.S. where local state laws permit such activities. Currently, its subsidiaries and managed entities are directly engaged in the cultivation, manufacture, processing, sale and distribution of cannabis and hold licenses in the adult-use and/or medicinal cannabis marketplace in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky (hemp only), Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, and Vermont; and have partnered with an accredited medical school and obtained a “clinical registrant” license in Pennsylvania. In addition, the Company is indirectly involved (through management services which include the use of the “Curaleaf” brand and retail and cultivation and production operations, human resources, finance and accounting, marketing, sales, legal and compliance support services) in both the adult-use and medical cannabis industry in the states of Maine and Arkansas."

> Have you looked at all the random drivers in the linux kernel for niche hardware. A ton of that is from one or two hobbyists taking the time to add support.

Sure, for _niche_ hardware. When was the last time a GPU driver was added by reverse engineering it? The single Nouveau maintainer was burnt out, last I heard, and the project was never a serious alternative to NVIDIA's closed driver. Kudos to whoever found the energy to contribute to it, but these projects usually don't have a bright future.

Now expand that to include maintaining all Apple devices, and it's an insane amount of effort realistically unsustainable for any group of volunteers. But good luck to the Asahi team.
