Makes sense. AI lacks rationality, and animals lack rationality. Of course, humans are the rational animal, and hence we know when we truly understand things or when we just repeat or spitball.
'Simple' is always relative to requirements. Otherwise, you'd just be sending 80-col ASCII textfiles down the wire (or something even simpler than that, like nothing at all).

Is dark-mode a good requirement? I'm not sure. It's nice to have, and our dark-mode does look great on a recent smartphone in the dark - but if I had known just how hard a good dark-mode would be, and how many of the issues we would struggle with (issues which OP runs headlong into), I think we would've skipped it. There's a lot of other things that time & energy could go into.

For most websites, I would say that they have far too many problems to spend time on dark-mode, no matter how trendy dark-mode is. (Users who really want dark-mode can install one of many extensions/plugins/apps/screen-inversion tools. They work reasonably well, and usually avoid issues like the white-flash FOUC.)

> software devs have good hardware, and use all the resources they have.

This.

It's not that people make their programs unacceptably slow on purpose. It's that they test their programs on incredibly and unrealistically powerful hardware.

I used to know someone that said they optimized their DOOM port or something like that for cheap old netbooks, and as a result, get hundreds of thousands of FPS on any vaguely modern system. And there's a video series on YouTube where someone is optimizing some voxelized game engine and uses the Intel iGPU - yes, the nearly-useless one you get on most of their Core-series CPUs - to vastly outperform a CPU implementation of a bunch of voxel algorithms anyway, because optimizing for such a weak GPU allows you to focus only on things that GPUs are actually fundamentally good at, as anything else will run unacceptably slowly. Unfortunately I don't remember what it was called.

It's very cool work.

I've been wondering for a while at what the next steps in adding 'inefficiencies' to AI processing would look like, commenting the other day to a friend that what's needed in the next 18 months is getting AI to be able to replicate the Eureka moments in the shower where latent information is reconstructed in parallel to processing tangential topics.

Going from "attention is all you need" to "attention and curiosity is what you need" seems like a great next step!
"as a spanish person" would have worked.

Basically - spanish isn't a noun it's an adjective, it describes a property of a noun (ex: Spanish language, Spanish Car, Spanish food, Spanish person etc...).

The oddity is that we also treat "spanish" as the proper name of a language. So "Speaking spanish" and "Speaking the spanish language" are interchangeable.

But no disagreement at all that english isn't rational.

As an aside, it's a perfectly understandable comment, it just identifies the person as non-native english speaking.
>although they don't live long enough before slaughter to encounter the late digestive issues that humans are getting.

What "late digestive issues"? People have been eating whole grains for thousands of years, and there's no evidence this causes any problems. Just look at people in the Mediterranean region; their diet has had such foods for ages and they're some of the healthiest people in the world, with very long lifespans.

>Then those GMO crops, not meant for human consumption, cross-contaminated the crops we eat.

There's no evidence so far that GMO crops have any bad effect on humans either. Pesticides, however... And not all GMO crops are simply designed to withstand pesticides; some are modified to make them resistant to plant diseases.
You don't need a credit card for that. The travel insurance is just a perk with some US cards (EU cards have very few perks!). You can also get it if you just pay for it.

I have a mandatory amex card from work (in my own name no less) and I hate it, because it's so useless in Europe. Taxis often refuse it (or the reader is suddenly 'broken'). Apparently they charge much higher commission than the others, one driver told me. Restaurants frown at it. Shops don't even accept it. The only place it works reliably is hotels. I'm sick of having to use this thing and my work makes a fuss if I use my own local card for work trips. Some exec in finance probably gets a great kickback for that rule.

For going to the US it's apparently great but I've never been there in my life and in Europe it's really tough. Especially Eastern Europe where they just laugh in your face when you pull it out but even in the taxi queue at Charles de Gaulle Paris you really have to beg to get a taxi to accept it.

And I don't think the corporate version comes with the travel insurance. Because we have international SOS for that. They wouldn't have got that if it wasn't needed because they aren't cheap. Which is something I do have very good experiences with in all my corporate travel by the way. The few cases where I've seen colleagues need it their service has been exceptional.

They're giving people access to GPT-4 via Bing for free, but apparently can't accommodate paying API users!?

That makes no sense.

What makes much more sense -- especially if you listen to his interviews -- is that Sam Altman doesn't think you can be trusted with the power of GPT-4 via an API unless it has first been aligned to death.
The delay window is difference in arrival time. If you have one flight rescheduled you have a pretty good time of making that unless there’s 10s of flights per day to the same destination.

You're falling victim to the inspection paradox: https://towardsdatascience.com/the-inspection-paradox-is-eve...
If I'm standing on the Moon, looking at the Earth, I can see which side is North because of the arrangement of the continents. I don't need to have a paper map with me. The whole thing doesn't make sense.

Finally, you're just plain wrong, and you're reading Wikipedia wrongly. According to the page for "North",

>The word north is related to the Old High German nord, both descending from the Proto-Indo-European unit ner-, meaning "left; below" as north is to left when facing the rising sun. Similarly, the other cardinal directions are also related to the sun's position.

So the definition is derived from the Sun's position, not some stupid paper map.

You're probably reading this part:

>By convention, the top or upward-facing side of a map is north.

That just says that maps are normally oriented with North pointing up. It doesn't say that "north" is defined* that way.
What do you mean by "chumming the waters" in this context?
This is why the robots will turn around and kill us all, everyone's so mean to them.
I also wonder what would happen if someone had a t-shirt with a "20kmh" sign on the back and was walking down the sidewalk.

...especially since new cars are required to recognize speed signs and warn the drivers or even slow down in EU.
The idea there is what we call 'demo-mode', a new feature to try to enable helpful chatty features but for only _n_ page loads. So the full theme toggle (or Control Strip in Mac terms) is exposed on the first page load, but then is left collapsed into the gear on subsequent page loads to reduce clutter.

I don't think it should 'try to slide up then it dies'; do you mean you can't see the gear at all?
Yes. I know. For a desktop, bluntly, no, security is not a primary concern (I've also turned off spectre mitigations and so forth), and stable is waaaay too stable for desktop usage.

Frankly, this kind of purist ideology--to the point of suggesting people use a different distribution--is simply ridiculous.

For servers I'm running on the open internet, yes, you are absolutely right. But in that case I just run stable.

It's pretty shady. They have been fully exposed at this stage but from what I understand they were trying to keep a very low profile, going to efforts to make sure the Kenyan workers didn't know they were working for a company called Sama but instead using sub companies to sign the worker contracts.

Please do, this is super interesting
There's no scaling issues to speak of. These AIs are stateless, which makes them embarrassingly parallel. They can always just throw more GPUs at it. Microsoft even had some videos where they bragged about how these models can be run on any idle GPU around the world, dynamically finding resources wherever it is available!

If there's not enough GPUs at a certain price point, raise prices. Then lower prices later when GPUs become available.

They did it with GPT 3.5, so why not GPT 4?
I'm curious how you can tell that it was BXS-4-64-MC1 that was supported. I looked and couldn't find that.

Besides the JH7110 there's TH1520 and it's using the BXM-4-64-MC1, also not supported, but 2X the speed of BXE-4-64-MC1 if I understand it correctly.
Yes. But the weights and instructions of how to use them to code can follow as we’ve seen. The key is ownership is bits on your machine not someone else’s. Better still on BitTorrent / ipfs:-)
> But there is one area where Beijing has gotten ahead of Washington, and that’s putting regulations on the AI industry. Chinese authorities have been so proactive about regulating some uses of AI, especially those that allow the general public to create their own content, that compliance has become a major hurdle for the country’s companies.

The best way to minimize potential harm from AI is keeping it open access. The self-annointed elite talking about limiting public access to AI in the name of "safety" scare me more than AI. The easiest way for OpenAI and the FAANG oligarchs to ensure a sustainable monopoly moat is scaring bureaucrats into erecting costly regulatory barriers to hobble garage competitors, open access research and open source community development.
Note the legislation was passed over a decade before the pandemic decimated the airline workforce.

I'm surprised more flights aren't canceled.

We have had a few more close call mid-air incidents, and I would expect more mistakes with such a thinned out team.
Theirs is ambulatory, i.e. for people to wear in their daily lives (mostly T1 and insulin-dependent T2). We're targeting a market that currently doesn't exist -- hospitalized patients, specifically people in critical care and people with diabetes on the general care floors. Similar terminology but very different markets!

Their latest AID (automated insulin delivery) system is killer, btw, some of the best results I've ever seen for ambulatory!
It turns out that it takes a lot of energy to hate/antagonize random stuff going on - you don't get paid and there's no benefit to you. Eventually you just get too busy living your actual life to continue the feud.

Real protests are fueled by real pain, and those don't just peter out because there's refueling every day, not just flavor-of-the-month outrage.

Meanwhile, the entities pushing these advances won't run out of gas because they are making money from real customers who find their service valuable (citation needed admittedly).

Time will tell which of these scenarios it is, but my bet is that people will find these very useful 5 years from now and the rough edges will be sanded down by technological improvement.

Famous last words.
> Most people think they're a better driver than average

If he doesn't do any high risk driving the relevant risk comparison is much different than general population.

Driving skill is not relevant to his point (you could assume he's an average driver who doesn't engage in high risk driving). If he's under 50 and healthy that's probably a considerable risk decrease (reflexes/vision and less chance of medical condition while driving).

So even if self driving cars were safer than human drivers in total, it could be significantly more dangerous for him.

There are many examples floating about of Threads being very paternalistic regarding what opinions are allowed. This instance, however, is just "bad automated system fails basic scenario".

What’s interesting is “good scripts” are apparently a dime a dozen (diamond dozen in the rough) all over Hollywood; if you find the original scripts for many “crappy” movies they’re moderately decent. It’s after they get massaged for public consumption that they’re often the common dreck we’ve come to expect.

What’s annoying is the studios still buy up the rights to tons of properties and then never develop anything. So you can’t even have a small studio/independent film on something like (for example) the Penny Arcade comic, because someone owns those rights and won’t sell

Sam Altman was giving people access to GPT 4 APIs because they attended a conference.

Did you just say Mojave? Because I have extensive experience with Mojave and it does not use swap whatsoever. Instead, you have overcommit and memory compression. That application that the OS says uses 10GB of RAM does not actually.
Because modern CPUs as a rule don't speculate on values to arithmetic, only on control flow, and CMOV acts like arithmetic.

That is, if there is an add instruction on rax and rbx, no matter what, the add instruction will not execute until both rbx and rbx are available. If the result went into rax, and there is an another instruction that uses that as a source, no matter what that instruction will not execute until the add has completed.

CMOV is implemented as an ALU instruction that always writes into it's output, and either writes the value that is already in there (which is why it depends on the value of it's output) or the value provided, depending on flags.

I think I read somewhere that people who apply to Harvard and don’t get in end up having similar incomes to those who did get in.

In the latter case, the delay window is up to 4 hours, which seems unlikely barring some natural catastrophe

It's unlikely that one flight will be over 4 hours late; but the delay time which matters is based on when you reach your final destination. For example, a few years back I was flying LHR-YUL-YVR; the flight from London to Montreal was only 1.5 hour delayed, but that was enough that I missed the last flight of the day from Montreal to Vancouver, and qualified for compensation based on my arrival in Vancouver being 10 hours late.

It's okay to be ignorant about how weird things work, but sharing opinions about things you don't know about should be avoided. A PhD "student" isn't really a student. They're an employed researcher at a research institution, working under more senior researchers who are able to attract grant money.

To use an analogy to the trades, the PhD students are the apprentices, the senior researchers / professors are the journeymen. Do not misunderstand, the PhD students are doing labor for the benefit of the university, and getting paid to do so. The problem arises from uninformed people who ask exactly your question, operating on the misguided assumption that graduate school is just more, harder undergraduate school.
Same as pre-GPT: Labs. You still have to practice implementation (for now).
Not to teabag on Air France, but I was curious about how bad the delay is at the Lisbon airport.

No, you are being misled by “environmental water,” which is a fancy way to say it’s water we don’t use because were not allowed to. This doesn’t make any sense, how can you include water you don’t use in your accounting for water use?

The reason this is there is to downplay the outsized use in agriculture, and also to shift some blame to folks that voted not to allow this water to be used in the first place.

But still, if you want to cut spending and are looking for where your money is spent, you don’t include money you choose not to earn in your list of spending.
I travel a lot, so I’ve had quite a few disputes with airlines over the years. My experience statutory compensation is that a lot of airlines train their frontline staff to think it simply doesn’t exist, and that you have to escalate to get anywhere. I’ve also experienced a few that will ignore your first few escalation attempts before finally giving in and paying up. I’ve never gotten all the way to court, but I’ve always been left with the impression that certain airlines are simply adopting the approach of making it as tedious as possible hoping you’d give up.
> Reductio ad absurdum - we can't eat anything because everything is smarter than we thought.

Which is my leading criticism of the idea.

If I'm like "hey that being is clearly reacting to stimuli that could hamper its self preservation and it is aiming to avoid that" and it takes another decade for Neil Degrasse Tyson or somebody you respect to tell that person the same thing about, say... plants, then what's the point of listening to that person ever?

Like, we were allll eating plants - in this example - with the same observation that the anti-suffering person willingly ignored and lorded over us, and now they move their own goal post while acting like we're only eating plants because we're oblivious to their reactions to harmful stimuli. again, example. replace plants with octopus if you need to.

but its an ideological line that doesn't seem based in anything except an arbitrary line. I can go along with desiring sustainable practices. no factory farming but preservation and keeping populations stable. but "omg it can think and feel!?" just isn't something I can be surprised about to draw a line at that. amoebas avoid negative stimuli. there's no need to gain consensus species by species.
We have some real snowflakes who flag every headline that could be read as the least little critical of any facet of US culture/politics/society.
