This really hits home for me. I live in Orlando, Florida and work is a scant 1.7 miles away. However, I do not dare drive or walk to work. Why? Pedestrian fatalities. This is a real shame not only because of pollution, and missed opportunity for exercise, but often because the traffic is so bad, it would only take marginally more time to walk/bike than drive.
I really wish road engineers would ensure ALL roads (sans expressways/interstates) have protected bike/ped zones. Not just a stripe on the pavement that can be easily driven across by a distracted driver. But actual raised protection, like a median or curb.
At some times, if you have to push an agenda.
BR24 reports that OpenAI is losing key employees to Google
Not to blame the victims but recently I’ve noticed pedestrians doing a lot of dumb stuff that is not helping. In the past week I’ve had 5 different people crossing multiple lanes of traffic dressed in all dark colours in areas with poor or no street lighting at night. A couple of people I would likely have hit but I caught thier silhouette against car tail lights ahead of me. Do get me stated on people stepping out into traffic at crossing when cars have a green light. People looking at phones and stepping into traffic with I guess the idea that if they don’t look at you you will avoid them. I do think the is distracted walking as well as distracted driving.

Not the person you replied to, but from a privacy perspective Apple won't allow Westerners to disable all network access per-app. Something that's been around in Chinese iOS releases for nearly a decade.

I'd love to use many offline note taking apps, but not if they're liable to randomly upload my notes to a potentially adversarial third party. And the actively privacy-hostile behavior of maintaining a separate branch just to disallow access to this feature is not appreciated.

Also depends on whether there's an end to it. Personally, my problem isn't the choices - it's that when I start to contemplate them, I end up thinking in circles within circles, forever looping with no change in sight.

To understand why some people care, I think it's useful to separate immediate real-life concerns, and more abstract, larger picture concerns. As an individual with limited energy, empathy, and frankly a finite lifespan, caring about this constantly is probably not productive, or healthy. This changes when we're talking about where the world is going, how different societies compare, in time or in different places. Then suddenly larger concerns like the general erosion of privacy, the global change in climate, and the rise and acceptance of extremist ideologies make sense.
See, if I dismiss a post because it's off-topic then it's "troubling". If I address it head on you start with "arguments" and bring the discussion to women. The point here is not to argue, it's clear that the topic is men's problems. There is no room here for women and feminism. And if you wonder why some men to go to MRM it's because of people like you. They can't have a discussion in peace without feminism intruding, so fuck feminism and everybody who pushes it everywhere. It's not exactly rocket science.

After multiple interactions I personally think the extremes deserve each other. Bash your heads in, cancel each other, get each other fired, kill, maim, the worse the better. After the massacre is over the rest of us can finally have dialogue in peace.

Cars from the 2000s are like spaceships they are so much more advanced in all areas compared to what I had to drive in the 1980s or even 1990s. At least cars from the USA were foreign cars; Toyota, Honda, Volvo, BMW tended to be better in quality and safety.

What does it mean to exercise your stock options?
At a quick glance the sentiment that the market being flush with newer developers would somehow automatically lead to a dip in technical advancements in the near future seems completely made up. I'd believe it to be the opposite, frankly. I'd see a dip in the near future if a large portion of the more senior engineers died all of a sudden and took their knowledge with them. That's not going to happen.
Right to buy - was a "good" idea, give a one time discount so you dont have to pay for someones housing for the rest of their life. The proceeds (75% of) were given to councils and they had a mandate to spend it replacing the housing stock sold off. I have no idea where it went wrong, but it did.

> At the same time councils were prevented from reinvesting that capital in the construction of new housing stock.

They were formerly obligated to reinvest that capital in the construction of new housing stock. Current legislation forces the councils to replace the stock and gives councils 100% of the proceeds, but again it doest appear to work.

> Privately rented flats

I have seen nightmare land lords - and nightmare tenants. Its a wild unreglulated system full of the worst of humanity, along with estate agents. I have no solutions.

> Private builders are incentivised to invest where demand is currently hottest leaving other regions to deteriorate

Unironically I expect that government would build in the same places ... as these places have the greatest demands for social housing as well as being the hottest regions. Relocating people from "their home" to areas where the is less demand is one of the unacceptable solutions that I would propose and would be considered to be heartlessly destroying communities.

The social housing system is broken, social houses are free houses for life and its not uncommon to see multiple generations of families never live in any different environment. People who grew up in social housing in Kensington expect that they and future generations should be housed in Kensington.

Geographic mobility is nearly 0 as well. For those that do want to move to somewhere else, its a new council to apply to a new housing association, if you give up your (social) house in one place you go to the back of the queue.

> disposable income only recently recovered to 1960s levels, both members of the household are now working

The not working poor, the working poor and incresingly the middle classes are now poor in the UK. If you want to buy a home in the UK you can, there are lots of them for sale, but even if you reduced the number on the asking price sticker by 20%, 30% even 50% people just dont have the money. At 50% off though, the litteral bricks and wood of the house is worth more than that, let alone the land / labour etc to make a house.

Exactly. A temperature of 0 means you always pick the highest probability token (i.e. the "max" function), while a temperature of 1 means you randomly pick a token according to their given probability. Values in between are also possible.

However, it's important to note that the numbers which the models returns for the next tokens can only be interpreted as probabilities for foundation models. For fine-tuned models (instruction SL, RLHF) the numbers represent how good the model judges the next token to be. This also leads to a phenomenon called mode collapse.
It's modernism, a mental disability that because something looks futuristic, it must be better. One of the main symptoms is an obsession with measurement; a ball maximizes volume to surface, and because that number is more than another number, therefore it is better. Other symptoms of the condition are a complete lack of imagination; a near physical inability to imagine a thing or conjure an experience in your minds eye without it existing. Patients tend to eventually suffer from complete mental sclerosis. It's been an endemic illness since at least the 20th century.

They don't need to know it but then it should also not be a surprise to you when programs take gigabytes of memory and several seconds to do things that used to kilobytes of memory and milliseconds, for the same workload.

Delving deep gives you fundamental knowledge of systems, sometimes there isn't time for that which in that case use the generic library that does stuff you never needed and ship the product. But in 10 years time when that needs to actually become performant code you need to know how to fix it or someone else will be paid to do it instead.
The existence of Chromebooks confirms it. When a whole OS is just there to run the web browser, the browser is the real OS.

The real question is why the OS can't do the job of the web browser in the first place. Has anyone ever tried integrating one so that people could use web pages in the same native integrated way as programs, opening them like say, a file manager would open directories? I guess Electron, but that doesn't really count given that it's just a reskinned browser.

Erlang/elixir is a very nice middle ground situation where you can build "monolithically" but also inherently be building services that are isolated, and you can scale to 50-150 nodes before getting any more complicated.

People weaving in and out of their lane staring at a phone, people driving into ditches, driving through building walls in parking lots you name it.

Likely in some case they were driving under the influence vs being on the phone.
I see that lot of people critize this a lot, but after reading the earlier post linked in the begining of it, it strongly reminds me of Carl Jung's individuation.

A lifelong process that involves an individual becoming whole by integrating various aspects of their personality and becoming their true authentic self.

Jung spoke about humanity suffering from neurosis, if they basically deep down feel that their life is meaningless. Oversimplified example is - if parents want a kid to be a doctor, and the kid succeeds at that, but is then severly unhappy, because he supressed parts of himself to do that.

Individuation is life long process, where the person is trying to put all the parts of themselves into light, even the parts they for example don't like about themselves, like being lazy, vain, etc. (The Shadow). And then live according to that authentic self.

Jungs's theory has nothing to do with evolutionary psychology or the idea that most people shoud be farmers like our ancestors or something. But it is similar in the way, that there is effort to uncover what makes someone happy - and that idea the depression is a message to the person that they are not on the right track, not one aligned with their authentic self. Depression is then considered a tool, a valuable one, and no mistake of brain chemistry or something.

I think there is something about this - that depression is lack of meaning. I also heard that in the startup context - a burnout is a state where you care about something, but come to subconscious realization that you are powerless to change it. It is basically another way a meaninglessness manifests. Because if you come to believe you can't influnce something, why would you keep working on it right? Your body will refuse that.

What the author of the article did is Jung's ideation, when she got married, moved to countryside and all that. Her explanation was evolutionary psychology and thinking it has somthing to do with her genetic ancestors, but that's just one explanation. In essence, she only admitted to herself, what she is really like deep down and then acted upon it. Ancestors or not, she got closer to her authentic self - instead of letting herself be programmed by the society. For somebody else though, the countryside life and kids might NOT be the right answer for them. Everybody is different, hence why it's called Individuation - seperating yourself, individualizing into your own authentic self.

Good point. Part of the problem is the gap between GPT-4 and what people imagine to be dangerous is so large (on the surface).

The term "AGI" for many has morphed into meaning something that's like simulation of a person, but with godlike infinite IQ and powers. So it's a special type of ASI now. Not my definition, just the sloppy way most people seem to think about it these days.

So for those people, to get something dangerous, we have to create a full emulation of a person , give it a 1000 IQ, maybe make it operate at 1 million times human speed, etc.

But the reality is that for a group of AI agents to be dangerous they just need to be very effective problem solvers connected to the world.

I will say that the idea that many AI agents will not be connected to the internet or embodied is unrealistic. But I do think it's critical as you point out that we have awareness of the dangerous of full autonomy and effectors.

The trick is that right now we have a very strong economic motive to increase the performance and efficiency of LLMs. And I believe that we should because there is huge upside and the state of the world is horrendous.

But within only a few years (certainly less than ten) of optimizing this, we will be walking a fine line between tools that are extraordinarily empowering on the one side and completely out of our control on the other.

All we need for GPT to be dangerous is for it to get maybe 25% smarter and much faster. We should anticipate 50-100 faster than humans output within a few years. Within 5-10 years those systems will be extremely affordable and widely deployed.

The danger starts to emerge because the the extreme performance difference between human and AI. You can't tell the AI to wait for you to make decisions, because while it is waiting a few hours for you to figure out what it's talking about, the equivalent of days worth of activity has been accomplished by your competitor's AI agent.

For people to see the danger it could help to explain the exponential track record of computing efficiency performance and also create demonstrations of what it's like to compete with something that thinks 50 times faster than you. One would think that people could extrapolate from video games or something. But I guess the problem is the open world video game agents are still largely unintelligent so it's hard to imagine.

I mostly agree, though I think creating slush funds from personal taxation is straight up wrong. The state should not become rich on the backs of it's citizens. Instead, we could follow Norway in using the profits of industrial sectors to fuel those slush funds. The amount of Oregonians that think infinitely taxing individuals is okay is vexing.

The bigger problem in Oregon government is the fact that our municipalities fail to do basic planning for their initiatives, so there'll be a surplus in one category and a deficit in another. This, I imagine, is where their slush fund could come in handy.

Lastly, we have a lot of corruption in this state which should be a higher priority to deal with. I was shocked in the Fagan case when I learned that we don't have anti-corruption laws to charge something as brazen as what she did.
The probabilities are fun (and ability to manipulate/mask/logit bias them), but small nit pick: Beam search isn't popular because it results in less human like text and takes more processing time, as a concept it sounds great in theory, but it's generally worked worse in practise compared to the next token with temperature, and results in text that is not human like, the gap is larger with larger models too, it doesn't get better:

The way most GPT models are set up, they don't edit, but there was a lot of work (made redundant by OpenAI) on using gap filling tasks (masking) to iteratively improve or construct or otherwise edit and formulate logic using the encoder-decoder models of yesteryear - in many ways, I think it would have been more exciting if that approach powered the likes of 'think step-by-step' results.

Language determines how one thinks. People from different cultures count differently for example, and that affect how people do math. "two-dozen is two times a dozen" is more intuitive than "twenty four is two times twelve". To me twenty four and twelve are just two words, but two-dozen is clearly double twelve. Another example is the words brothers and sisters, where being older and younger less emphasized. In many asian cultures, where age is considered a prestige (or is it not?), there is a clear distinction between older and younger children.
Code Confessions Digest #3: News, and Resources from Last Week
You need a switch that can handle LAGG but I don’t think you need a particularly expensive or fancy switch. I run a TP-Link jetstream switch that supports LACP and was only $110 (same price as a 8 port lite ubiquti switch). It has 8 port PoE+ AND 2 port SFP. You have to run a omada controller (similar to a unifi controller) but you can buy a box (OC200) or just run a Docker image which is what I do. I find tbe TP-link APs much better performing at a reasonable price too. Ubiquti with their no free shipping and price increases has gone completely out of hand since the pandemic. Made me switch out all their hardware because of it. Ubiquti hardware was simply not worth their price and OPNsense + omada had blown my Ubiquti setup out of the water.

> deliberately desynchronizing and resynchronizing game loops for performance.

> latch on each thread for partial causality between game loops.

This sounds like a recipe for misery. You have to start thinking about ""light cones"" if causality propagates at finite speed. Do all observers in the game universe witness events in the same order? What if they don't?

You get a little bit of this with rollback netcode, on the level of a few frames, but in that case there's always an authoritative causality and the client's guess is subordinate to it.

It also sounds like fertile ground for exploits, both of the duplicating-object type and the glitch-through-geometry type.
