The houses they are building around here are usually put together from pre-fabricated walls. The siding is even on them. They arrive on a truck and most of the house (as far as the outside goes) is put up in a day. Just like the trusses.
Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have sparked growing concerns among experts,
policymakers, and world leaders regarding the potential for increasingly advanced AI systems
to pose catastrophic risks. Although numerous risks have been detailed separately, there is a
pressing need for a systematic discussion and illustration of the potential dangers to better inform
efforts to mitigate them. This paper provides an overview of the main sources of catastrophic
AI risks, which we organize into four categories: malicious use, in which individuals or groups
intentionally use AIs to cause harm; AI race, in which competitive environments compel actors to
deploy unsafe AIs or cede control to AIs; organizational risks, highlighting how human factors and
complex systems can increase the chances of catastrophic accidents; and rogue AIs, describing
the inherent difficulty in controlling agents far more intelligent than humans. For each category
of risk, we describe specific hazards, present illustrative stories, envision ideal scenarios, and
propose practical suggestions for mitigating these dangers. Our goal is to foster a comprehensive
understanding of these risks and inspire collective and proactive efforts to ensure that AIs are
developed and deployed in a safe manner. Ultimately, we hope this will allow us to realize the
benefits of this powerful technology while minimizing the potential for catastrophic outcomes.

both OneAPI and ROCm are, or should, or could provide higher level APIs to isolate you from OpenCL's C APIs, or just leverage SPIR-V. Other than CUDA, I failed to see any other open alternatives to get heterogeneous computing working yet, OpenCL is the only one on the table as far as I can tell for now. Yes there are Vulkan compute shader etc but they're still pretty far behind, and they could be made OpenCL compatible too.
While CUDA is great, OpenCL can be made by OneAPI and ROCm more open source friendly, I hope.
Genetic risk also depends on locality, since there's significant interplay between skin pigment, light exposure and endogenous vitamin D production (and between locality and light exposure).
This looks really great. Thank you for sharing
Depends on the circumstances. If someone gets a life sentence, then it's probably not a benefit to society to work on rehabilitation. If someone gets 5 years or so for a non-violent offense, then perhaps providing resources that foster hope of permanent change could benefit society rather than derail them from society entirely just to punish them. That can be a balance many factors, such as a display of discipline through good behavior in jail/prison, work release, learning a skill/trade so one can get a job to support themselves (the primary precursor to being a benefit to society), and some sort of job placement assistance or at least the removal of so many barriers.

Some of these exist to some degree already. Some of the issues are systemic and not just related to those in prison. For example, the decline of real wages over the past 50 years and the rise of barriers to entry for many things (renting, jobs, etc) has made it difficult for lower skilled individuals to succeed. If you feel you have no hope in the system, then you will be more inclined to act outside the system.

None of this is an excuse for someone to break the law, merely an observation that the current system might not be maximizing societal benefits but rather too focused on punishment alone.

The person you're replying to was just making a sensible observation that was relative to the conversation - I don't see any problem with what they said, nor relevance to Reddit's typical comments.

You on the other hand haven't added to the discussion but instead broke one of HN's guidelines:

I would think a truly liberal policy would be to provide funding for the “compassionate” policies.

On the other hand, federally legislating that local school taxing districts provide services costing $x and if they do not, open up local taxpayers to litigation of $y where x and y are quite large is…something else.

How is a poor school district serving poorer taxpayers supposed to provide expensive IEP for every problem child and/or collect all the evidence to expel them, and at the same time provide quality education to well behaved kids?

I do not agree at all that the word "deepity" is in any way anti-intellectual.

It is an intellectual stance to try and filter what truly is profound from what merely appears to be or what merely elicits the same emotions. Unfortunately our current world is flooded with substance-less garbage that masquerades as something more. We are still in the age of gurus, of the blind leading the blind for profit, as we have always been since forming societies, but now we are in the epoch of web scalability, where the reach of any guru has been amplified to engulf the whole world.

Training oneself to be able to recognise whether a message actually contains any knowledge or whether it is word salad that produces the same emotions is more important than ever.

I use Jupytext since years. It allows me to have three types of synced notebook versions: 1) .ipynb (for opening/running), 2) .md (formatted code+comments, without outputs) and 3) *.py (python formatted, code+comments).

I commit the Markdown-version, but I also use the py-version of notebooks for chained notebook imports. Allows me to split larger notebooks into multiple smaller ones. Both of these options are a blessing and Jupytext works super-robust.

Finally, when I want to archive (and share) notebooks _with_ outputs once in a while, I have a cell at the end to convert (nbconvert) to HTML, and I commit this html file. The Markdown-version remains as a clean basis for commit history. The HTML file is much better suited for sharing and archiving than the ipynb file.

But while it's probably not good to dwell too much on negative things in such situations in general, I would feel able to give an exec-level summary of why those workplaces seemed to be unhappy and ineffective compared to others. It helps that I've been on both sides of the hiring desk many times.

And don't lie - that gets you into a very bad place. I had one chap I helped hire be dismissed for having lied about a thing we might have been able to accommodate.
It would likely be unethical to conduct a study to determine whether CVD risk is affected by vitamin D supplementation in those with vitamin D deficiency, because if you determine that study participants are vitamin D deficient then it is indicated to treat them regardless of impact on CVD risk. Thus the trial does not attempt to do such a thing, focusing only on a general sample, excluding anyone in whom vitamin D supplementation would be contraindicated.

Ultimately while it would be interesting to know if CVD risk is reduced with vitamin D supplementation in those who are vitamin D deficient, it is largely an academic question as those individuals should be taking vitamin D supplements anyway.

It's actually more than a few minutes. I can't speak for other places, but generally there will be an agent that is monitoring many inbound chats, and in a lot of cases the resolution can likewise be automated.

In the past this was managed by a fairly deep call queue, and has saved fairly significant amount of $ vs receiving and resolving everything manually.

Indeed we have internal clients (vs paying customers) but overall this has been quite successful for us.

Some might call this a dereliction of free speech, but I don’t think all ~8 billion of us have something worthy to say, nor are all capable of writing with a public audience in mind.

I tried blogging (as opposed to journaling) and then had the foresight to realize that 90% of what I wrote is either not interesting to others, not up to my own standards of quality, or could actively open me up to attack by Internet crazies (by revealing information about where I live, for example).
Are these mosquitos made in the same labs or near that malaria testing is being done? Does reducing this specific type of mosquito in a region allow another type that has been quietly carrying the disease to flourish and expand habitat?

The fact you're not curious at all is strange. There's a lot of ways manmade meddling could create unforeseen side effects (it happens all the time) or accidents - did someone accidentally mix the mosquito batches up? Was there cross contamination?

Skepticism is a good thing but it's important to be skeptical of the scientists too.
Unfortunately, the majority of times I call customer service, none of this collected information gets transferred or they make me confirm everything again. It's extremely aggravating. For every company who gets this right, there are ten who don't.

Does having "Prime" give you better support, I wonder? (Do you have it?)
Upper limits - no. If they are fit to do the job I don't care how old they are.

Lower limits - I'm not sure. This is no longer the early days of the industrial revolution so we're not throwing people (children in particular) down chimneys to clean them and working conditions are much better, but at the same time they are children with brains that aren't fully formed so their judgement isn't exactly reliable. If they're working in a family business or similar that seems fine to me.
it's not, Nvidia just added support to OpenCL 3.0, AMD also continues to support it. Apple always does things its own way.
I think the study is valuable, any piece of knowledge can help complete the puzzle. Sure, there might be more insightful constructions of a study to get at a root value for vitamin D supplementation, but at least we know under this circumstance it did not make a meaningful difference.

Weird then that Semaglutide is so effective for weight loss when it's mechanism of action is to reduce the amount you eat. Almost like that was the answer all along.
Except you run into a few problems when implementing that, especially for public schools.

Proactive parents will typically want their children in good schools, regardless of their child's behavioural history. (This doesn't mean they refuse to acknowledge the issue, though some will. It simply means they want their children to have access to better supports.)

There is an overarching philosophy within the school system that integration is better than separation. I don't know if this has to be the case, but it has been historically true. Think of it this way: even though some of the best teachers may want to serve the most challenging schools, good teachers almost always want to teach in good schools. Where does that leave the challenging schools? If they're lucky, with a great teacher. More often, with a bunch of mediocre teachers.

Related to that, schools rarely have the resources to distinguish between students who would benefit from integration and those who would benefit from specialized and separate programs.
Ah, I interpreted the 'add' as 'after the fact'. My bad, apologies.
My middle school was like this. They had a "zero tolerance" policy on fights, which meant if you were in one, you were supposed to get suspended.

In reality, it did not actually work this way. I did get into at least one fight where administration got involved, and they let me off the hook. (Neither of us got suspended, in fact.) In my own view, I 'started' that fight although I did not 'instigate' it, not that the difference matters much. Some kid in line for PE kept kicking the back of my shoes, and after the fourth or fifth time, I started punching him.
>This is based on the assumption that when we have access to super intelligent engineer AI's, we will be able to construct robots that are significantly more capable than robots that are available today and that can, if remote controlled by the AI, repeair and build each other.

Big assumption. There's the even bigger assumption that these ultra complex robots would make the costs of construction go down instead of up, as if you could make them in any spare part factory in Guangzhou. It's telling how ignorant AI doomsday people are of things like robotics and material sciences.

>But, and I suppose this is similar to I Robot, if you control the software you may have some way to take control of a fleet of robots, just like Tesla could do with their cars even today.

Both Teslas and military robots are designed with limited autonomy. Tesla cars can only drive themselves on limited battery power. Military robots like drones are designed to act on their own when deployed, needing to be refueled and repaired after returning to base. A fully autonomous military robot, in addition to being a long way away, also would raise eyebrows by generals for not being as easy to control. The military values tools that are entirely controllable before any minor gains in efficiency.

> Why not make public schools better?

It'd be nice if you could explicitly define how that would work. I can understand some ideas not working 100% of the time, but throwing money into black holes where nothing comes out is an insult to taxpayers.

Baltimore [City] has been the clearest example. I believe we're around $25k a head in a seat so far there. At what number specifically do you think all that gets turned around? $50k? $100k? If you can't answer that, why should anyone give a shit about what you think is good for society, demanding everyone pay into ponzi schemes like Baltimore? If you refuse to answer that, then you are out of your depth completely and you have no basis for making or influencing policy decisions.

It's far too easy to use other people's money and then wring your hands about not getting the results you advertised.

edit: [City] need to discriminate between Baltimore county and Baltimore city here since there may be eventual confusion on school system ratings
> It’s insanity to me that the only route people think you should get vitamin D is from the sun. In fact, most of us Caucasian Europeans should be getting it from our diet.

The fact that the skin of your ancestors rapidly evolved to become much lighter as they migrated to more polar latitudes tells you all you need to know about whether diet was an adequate source of vitamin D.

Light-skinned people are particularly well-suited to obtaining all the vitamin D they need from sunlight alone.

It is dark-skinned people currently living far from the equator who benefit the most from vitamin D supplementation, because the melanin in their skin reduces their ability to synthesize vitamin D from the meager amount of sunlight they get.

“The ULTIMO SHIELDED PET SANCTUARY: If you are a TI, any loving pet that you have may be suffering from the same electronic attack that is devastating your life.

Compression isn't the right way to think about it, I think. To compress, we first have to decide what's meaningful.

My understanding of malaria and its spread is essentially the winters are cold in the states and kill off all mosquitos in the winter. The larva (or whatever the correct term is) don’t carry malaria, so the mosquitos must grab it from an infected animal.

So the warmer the states get, the warmer the land south of the states get. More and more mosquitos survive winters closer to the states, and so smaller travel distance.

But based on what you just said it seems that understanding is not actually how it works?
We know that this amount of intelligence was a huge evolutionary advantage. That tells us nothing whether being twice as smart would continue to give better results. But arguably the advantages of intelligence are diminishing, otherwise we would have much smarter people in more powerful positions.

Also, a big tongue in cheek but someone like John von Neumann definitely had superhuman intelligence.
