"Supervised" does not mean the models need babysitting; it refers to the fundamental way the systems learn. Our most successful machine learning models all require some answers to be provided to them in order to infer the rules. Without being given explicit feedback they can't learn anything at all.

Humans also do best with supervised learning. This is why we have schools. But humans are capable of unsupervised learning and use it all the time. A human can learn patterns even in completely unstructured information. A human is also able to create their own feedback by testing their beliefs against the world.

while criminals are pretty individualistic, they work in groups. eggs get broken to make the omelette, cost of doing business, etc.

not to mention criminals can stash money and retrieve it when they are released.

tldr - the idea of doing enough crime to save a lot of money and live on it on the other side, is pretty appealing to a lot of ppl.
I think it comes down to order of operations and intent. If we knew that he first had a manifesto to present, then decided to murder strangers to draw attention to it then I grant you it was terrorism as marketing.

I'm just suspicious whether this was the case.
Damn this made me re-download Newsify, which I haven't used in years!
Kaczynski's entire opposition to technology seems to focus purely on amplifying the negative aspects of technological advancement. But after reading David Deutsch, I cannot but think all and any technological advancement is desirable and there's little merit to technological doomerism.
Can AI make older adults feel less lonely?
Generally the reason behind adding randomness to machine learning is avoiding "local minima" in the search space of the optimization function(s) used for training the model. If your training produces a very smooth descent to an optimum it can lead to the model converging on a solution that is not globally the best. Adding some randomness helps to avoid this.

Specifically for GPT models, the temperature parameter is used to get outputs wihch are a bit more "creative" and less deterministic. https://help.promptitude.io/en/ai-providers/gpt-temperature
Let's say that ebooks now include metadata for soundtrack generation as you read them. Something like this model generates it real time based on the users reading speed etc.

That'd be pretty cool for example.

Kaczynski was essentially a blackpilled fascist. He spends the huge bulk of his manifesto ranting against leftism. I think its fine to attack the ideas as well.
I'm sure the CEO of a US company whose clients include the US government would tell the absolute truth in a public forum, and not platitudes that would paint his company and clients in the best possible light.
Pedestrian and bike deaths are climbing [0]. 44% of New Yorkers are considered rent burdened [1] and sure as fuck can't afford a car in the city. Cars can only be considered a successful mode of transportation from a fairly wealthy and elite perspective of a car owner in New York. If you have the cash for the car itself and off-the-street parking, sure, it's probably great. But for everyone else it makes daily life of walking and biking in the street significantly more dangerous with no clear reciprocal benefit.

- Good audio is more important than good video. People can listen to good audio and forgive bad video, but bad audio and people will stop watching.

- It takes time/audience to get traction. I started with a bunch of different topics and this was a waste of time. Having a focus for the channel helps.

- It takes a ton of time. I enjoy the process but don't underestimate the time commitment.

- Don't do it for subs or money, do it if you genuinely enjoy it.

Since it is a distribution by a hardware vendor that ships NVIDIA GPUs, I'll assume that they got a licensed from NVIDIA to ship their operating system with the proprietary drivers.
Ah. This questionable decision is why I abandoned LXC for Docker (initially) and eventually Podman/k8s.
Getting quieter fans on a better cooler might make a bigger difference.
My interactions with it as a patient have been quite good. Both my previous provider and current provider use it. All the doctors are trained on it, as well as all the staff. It makes all sorts of things quite simple, for example tranferring all my records from my previous provider to my current one was one click by my doctor. later, we could review my medical imagery in the office as needed.

From what I understand, getting to that point required a huge amount of effort on the provider's part (many thousands of hours of contractors configuring systems deep in the bowels of hospitals or data centers). But that's not surprising: anything regarding health and IT in the US eventually grows to consume our entire economy.
Many people do care - many Americans have subsidized low power but that’s not globally true and even if your power is free a hot CPU means you’re listening to fan noise and heating up the room. In a cold winter that’s not bad but I knew people who had to do things like leave their office doors open for cooling.
Ted is, for better or worse, one of my heroes. Not for his entirely ineffective, pointless, counter-productive explosives work, but because reading his work, Thoreau's, and others, helped pull me out of a serious funk at the bottom of my burnout curve and find a new direction for my life after tech. It inspired me to spend €200k of the tech cash I'd hoarded on a farmstead and land in the Irish countryside, and try to do something that doesn't make the world worse in the way that working in edtech (one of the parasites keeping tuition high) or finance/fintech (no explanation required) does. I'm not a Luddite, and I'm certainly not opposed to technology - I use it everywhere - but I agree with Ted that surrogate activities hamper our capacity for fulfilment. That they stop us from seeing the fruits of our labors and connecting them viscerally, emotionally to positive outcomes in our lives. That focusing on meta-level societal noise only serves to make us unhappier. That living deliberately empowers and breeds satisfaction.

I'm poor as shit now, from an income perspective, but I've never been more fulfilled. Pity it took me 40 years to figure this all out.

RIP TedK.
Try to stick to a schedule. That's something I've personally struggled with a lot, and it's something that the more successful channels I follow have usually done better with. People like to know when new uploads will be posted, and YouTube likes to push videos that people check out quickly after their initial airing.

Because of that, it's probably best not to try and post daily (or multiple times a day) unless you can truly handle it. There's definitely a path to quicker growth if you have a new video going up day in and day out, but that's also often a recipe for burnout in the long run, and the breaks you take to avoid/fix said burnout will be far more damaging than posting once or twice a week would.

Think carefully about the niche you choose to focus on. It should ideally be both something you can get a decent amount of regular content posted about, and something you won't get bored of/burnt out on too quickly. Nothing on YouTube is more difficult than changing your audience when your channel is already established, and I've seen a lot of people's channels crash and burn because of it.

Don't go overboard on shorts unless you want to become a short focused channel. The people who watch those often don't have much patience for longer videos, and probably won't watch your normal content as a result. Focusing too much on these is a good way to get a ton of subs that don't actually care about your work, and to make YouTube think your audience isn't interested in what you're posting.

That's my advice anywhere. As for what my own journey was like?

Honestly, a bit of a mess. On the one hand, my channel has about 33K subscribers right now, and I've had a fair few videos hit the 100K or even 1 million views mark.

On the other hand, I feel I killed a lot of my momentum at various points by not being able to stick to a regular schedule (due to burnout, job and real life needs, etc), and my attempts to try and diversify my content generally haven't done all that well, likely in large part due to focusing too much on a topic where my long term interest was limited.
Whether you agree with him or not, the argument is more nuanced.

I believe the relevant section is page 169 of this:
https://www.stafforini.com/docs/Singer%20-%20Practical%20eth...

Some of the text is copied and pasted below, but it should be read and interpreted in context:

ABORTION AND INFANTICIDE

There remains one major objection to the argument I have

advanced in favour of abortion. We have already seen that the
strength of the conservative position lies in the difficulty liberals
have in pointing to a morally significant line of demarcation
between an embryo and a newborn baby. The standard liberal
position needs to be able to point to some such line, because
liberals usually hold that it is permissible to kill an embryo or
fetus but not a baby. I have argued that the life of a fetus (and
even more plainly, of an embryo) is of no greater value than
the life of a nonhuman animal at a similar level of rationality,
self-consciousness, awareness, capacity to feel. etc., and that
since no fetus is a person no fetus has the same claim to life as
a person. Now it must be admitted that these arguments apply
to the newborn baby as much as to the fetus. A week-old baby
is not a rational and self-conscious being, and there are many
nonhuman animals whose rationality, self-consciousness,
awareness, capacity to feel. and so on, exceed that of a human
baby a week or a month old. If the fetus does not have the same
claim to life as a person, it appears that the newborn baby does
not either, and the life of a newborn baby is of less value to it
than the life of a pig, a dog, or a chimpanzee is to the nonhuman
animal.
My guess would be this is a call for research funding rather than a concrete expectation.
Moving the goalposts. Original claim was offensive wars.
Yes. When I google niacin supplements, 4 out of the 5 google shopping results have 500mg (35x RDA). Beyond 1000mg niacin can have bad side effects such as the vision loss mentioned in this article. Jamieson's niacin supplement has 500mg too which surprised me.
If only OBS was somewhat lighter, I'd have used it. You need an Intel i5 or Ryzen 1300x processor for a "minimum requirements", imagine what would it take for a decent performance!

Instead, I use another app called ShareX [1] which is much lighter on the OS and processor. It may not have all the features but you can easily create a screencast or recording session with ease.

For sure, let's charge methods of transportation based on negative externalities such as how much space they take, safety, and noise/particulate pollution.
> We can’t even explain how current LLMs work internally.

You sure can. They are just not simple explanations yet. But that’s the common course of inventions, which in foresight are mind-bogglingly complex, in hindsight pretty straightforward.
Astronomy is in for a hard time then, anything that uses false color is technically very much processed.
That's only if you have a single compiler.

On practice, ABI expressivity (not so much stability) is something very important that people have insisted on overlooking for decades because of that single-compiler fallacy.
By your argument, HFCS is derived from corn, so it must also be healthy and fit for human consumption. Seed oils are heated at high levels, processed in a petroleum-based solvent such as hexane to maximize the amount of oil extracted from them, and even chemicals are used to deodorize and change the color of the oils. I don’t trust any ultraprocessed food, including seed oils. They are no different, just a cheap filler.
Sad in that I'd love to purge all non-free software from my life, but that has proven to be impossible and increasingly more so as the years go by.
As a non American, the dichotomy that is all the rage nowadays is two camps whose position is literally just "we hate everything the other side loves".

The point of Kaczynski is that both camps are mostly composed of middle-class Western academics living a sheltered life that are deciding who is socially accepted and who need to be cancelled. Our culture wars are not minorities shouting for a better life, our culture war is made of middle-class white people getting offended on behalf of minorities. They are no Martin Luther King, no Malcolm X, they just are posers that are making the racial (and gender and sexual) divide even worse than it is, by polarising or alienating the silent neutral majority.

This is a longer argument that's put more eloquently in the manifesto than I could ever write on a comment box.
What Is Your Dangerous Idea? (2006)
If MBA’s played any significant role in the development of Zelda:TOTK, I might have to change my opinion about them.
Congratulations on living a sheltered life if you believe passing messages back and forth through trusted mutual acquaintances is "stalking."
It sounds like you're arguing that these government programs are "criminal enterprises", which would be a much deeper problem if the legal system can't weed them out.

Even were that the case, it's unclear to me that merely providing material aid to a criminal government organization would make a company a "criminal enterprise".

Perhaps uncharitably, this seems akin to arguments that would condemn a large share of contractors involved in military / police / intelligence work as "criminal".
This is pretty far afield from the current conversation, but I think that there would be far far more support for Ukraine if Russia didn't have massive amounts of fossil fuels. Russia's ability to withhold them is a source of economic and political power.
We get it, code execution leads to code execution.

Waymo takes responsibility for all accidents and Tesla is able to drive autonomously at 40km/h on highways, but neither does both. Mercedes does. That's –I believe– the point that parent is making.

Now, I'd argue that Waymo has probably somewhat solved highways already as they're much simpler than city driving, they're just not offering it to the public yet.
I’m not sure what you’re even trying to argue here. You disagree with SAE’s designations? Interesting trivia I guess.

Anyway I’m sure Tesla will say it’s Level 3 whenever it’s Level 3. Would’ve thought that was a while back when they marketed, sold, and rolled out “Full Self Driving” on public roads.
For $7,000 there should be no caveats, it should be beating every measurable metric outright.

Even if your power is free, heat means a toasty office and fan noise, not to mention being careful about air flow around your furniture. Not a deal breaker but 100% of the Apple Silicon users I know have mentioned not previously having appreciated just how much noise their old systems made.
The only way to address generative AI is to strongly authenticate human content. Camera manufacturers, audio encoders, etc, should hold subordinate CAs and issue signing certs to every device. Every person should have keys, issued by the current CA system, not the government (or at least not necessarily). You should have a ability, as part of the native UX, to cross-sign the device certificate. Every file is then signed, verifying both the provenance of the device and the human content producer.

You can imagine extensions of this: newspapers should issue keys to their journalists and photographers, for the express purpose of countersigning their issued devices. So the consumer can know, strongly, that the text and images, audio, etc, came from a newspaper reporter who used their devices to produce that work.

Similar for film and music. Books. They can all work this way. We don't need the government to hold our hands, we just need keys. Lets Encrypt could become Lets Encrypt and Sign (the slogans are ready to go: "LES is more", "Do more with LES", "LES trust, more certification").

Doctors already sign their notes. SWEs sign their code. Attorneys could do the same.

I'm sure there's a straight forward version of this that adds some amount of anonymity. You could go into a notary, in person, who is present to certify an anonymous certificate was issued to a real person. Does the producer give something up by taking on the burden of anonymity? Of course, but that's a cost-benefit that both society and the producer would bear.
Not those specific bombs.

Hmm. Yeah being able to see which posts you've upvoted seems undesirable to me. I guess someone might argue that it would increase the consequences of voting and make people more careful? More anonymous voting seems better to me, if you're going to have voting.
I think people in general have found out that those reminders really do help, but they are really annoying as well...

I would just say skip any video etc. intros.
This is why I use Amazing Marvin. While far from perfect it has a deceptively simple feature: Give me a random task from this list.

It frees me from deciding between multiple equally important things to do. And it helps tremendously by forcing myself to then do this thing before moving on because I finally do those things that I have been procrastinating on.

Back when I last checked four or so years ago very few or no Todo tools had this feature.
I haven’t read the entirety of his manifesto, but his ideas always struck me as typical narratives that resonated with people’s anxieties about modernity.

A bit of a bait and switch. Get attention with something shocking and violent, then appeal to worries through apocalyptic boogeymen. The solution, of course, is a sense of comforting tradition that the naturalness of the past is safe. A killer combo!
While I'm generally pro-HFT and market making, I'm seeing some comments that are equating market making and high frequency trading. They're not the same thing. As an HFT firm, you can have two kinds of strategies: Liquidity providing and liquidity taking. This article calls these two strategies market making and "being an aggressor" in the "Strategy Zero" and "Survival!" sections. The HFT describes their aggressor strategy as follows:

"Mr. F., one of the original hires, coded what we called Strategy Zero. It was simple: have no position, wait for an option edge of a reasonable size, at least a tick. Then, hit it. Wait. Dump it out and take a tick profit."

In this case, the strategy involves 1) seeing that you can buy a security at $10, 2) knowing that the security is actually worth $10.01 and will move to this price in a few seconds, 3) lifting someone's $10 offer, 4) waiting the few seconds for the market to move, and 5) hitting someone's $10.01 bid for a $.01/share profit.

This liquidity taking strategy is not similar to a liquidity providing strategy. Liquidity providing is leaving orders on the order book for anyone to take and gaining money from one person who buys your shares for $10 and from another who sells shares to you at $10.01. This involves more risk to your business.

I think that if you want to debate the merits of whether working at an HFT firm is an actually useful service, you have to look at how often the HFT firm provides liquidity versus takes liquidity. Providing liquidity more obviously tightens spreads and improves prices, as you can't be a successful liquidity provider unless you provide the best prices first. Liquidity taking, however, involves lifting orders from exchanges that you know are incorrectly priced, which seems to me like a more obvious "bad" (or at least less good than liquidity providing).
I was expecting the MacPro (M-series) to be exactly that.

A high wattage, highly cooled proc.

But nope, they did what you described.
I would describe myself as left-wing, and I agree with some (not all) of his criticisms of "the left" in general. Turns out that left-wing people can have disagreements. Furthermore, I can reject argument X while simultaneously also accepting argument Y from the same person or book.
That's what struck me about it too. Isn't it the case in a large enough population you can always find representation of something you dislike or hate? I've seen lists of "Republicans" (meaning anyone in, near, or related to a Republican politician) showing those people being caught or convicted of various moral, economic, and social "crimes". Ok. But if I sat down and looked using the same criteria, couldn't I just as easily create a long list for the Democrat party? Having made that statement on Reddit, the response I got was, "well, there are MORE republicans". That struck me as odd too. Are you trying to say of the two horrible things, one is worse, and so I have a moral imperative to chose the less horrible one? I'm fairly sure I get to abandon both in search of a better option. lol
My "how do you know" was more directed at "I’d be just about as happy with 100 million as 500 million". I agree with the log part.

Wouldn't we expect them to be happier with their wealth doubled more than twice?
> Maybe someone will say this will let people who aren’t musicians express themselves by creating music.

I'd say it lets me, a non-musician, create generic tracks for other projects that need music, but don't need the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.

If you want the insane soundtrack, you still need an artist, as this project demonstrates.
> I don't care if

That's the thing: they aren't building it just for you. We can speculate about their internal requirements documents, but what's for sure is that they calculate a projected market adoption based on various factors like cost, market segmentation, power draw, heat transfer, noise etc. If it turns out that they project a bigger profit with a lower power limit than technically possible, that's what they'll do.

Personally, it would be nice of this were to apply to any CPU, GPU, SoC and even VRM and DC-DC regulators; let me worry about the dissipation, just pump out as many cycles as possible. But that's not really something that covers any significant market that Apple (or most multinationals) is targeting.

What I find much more surprising is that all of their M1/M2 deployments seem to be far fewer bin-limited; normally you'd get a crapton of SKUs for a SoC because they are so hard to manufacture, but Apple seems to get away with only 15 to 20. Perhaps this is also why there are much clearer power limits on most of their devices.
Wild. I suppose it's good that people who like these conditions can find employers like this and people like me who don't can find employers not like this.

I could never countenance operating under these conditions.
I'm not claiming to know the timeline, but he could have built them before "the deal", then made the deal and decided not to plant them.

Innocent until proven guilty. There is more than enough evidence to put away Teddy K for life. Lean on real evidence. Don't stretch the truth and muddy the waters for the innocent. Your line of reasoning could be used to convict the innocent.
