Given the existence of super-human narrow AI, the interesting property is generality, not intelligence. But I don’t think it’s useful to call a sub-human cat-level general AI an AGI.

If we have AI as general as an animal, ASI (superintelligence) is probably imminent. Because the architecture of humans intelligence probably isn't very different from cats, just the scale is bigger.

If it makes sense to expand scope to provide a particular model server and the group can easily be the best st it, I say go for it. But do it as a separate (but perhaps connected) project to this.

But in general I’m in agreement that this sounds like a separate concept than any given model server.

That said, where is a list of model servers for the most commonly wanted LLMs at this point?

Perhaps maintaining a list of those that do and don’t work with the proxy would be helpful.

Are you sure ? Because nobody asked those countries (as people) if they want the US military. US just changed the government (colour revolutions) and then, suddenly, those country wanted "to be defended" by NATO without any public debate regarding this issue.
Isn’t that basically what franchising is?
Without further context, we cannot say whether a lower number of robots in the US is an indication of inferiority or superiority to China.

Example: A company I was working for produced booklets with their own autmatic book printing binding machine. Not long ago, they outsourced it to a printer because it was cheaper that way. So the single more capable printer's "robot" is replacing the need for a lot of other not so efficient small "robots".
I think the idea is e.g. you can just have opaque keys (e.g. UUIDs) to a person in all services except one, which has their name in. Destroying that record in one place pseud/anonymisises the record across the system.

Blatantly lying on the CV is an instant rejection at the places I've worked. It's one thing to stretch your contributions on past projects, but to outright lie about the technologies used is a huge red flag. It's easy to teach a person the company tech stack, but I'm not sure it's possible (or worthwhile) to try and teach some one to be honest.
The other unfortunate metric is how confident you are that it will be “successful” when tasked with nation building or a successful transfer of power, both tasks which are inherently sociopolitical and are ill suited to a highly organized and disciplined organization specifically trained and equipped to kill people and break things.

Someday, politicians will understand that the army isn’t for creating peaceful societies. If we (the USA) is going to continue to count military adventurism among its tools, we need to develop a distinct, expeditionary organization whose primary tools are social and political in nature. Sort of a practical adjunct to diplomacy, but capable of functioning in conditions of extreme adversity. Idk how that even looks.

Or Maybe we should consider more carefully the end-state of military action. Or ???

I’m not one to say just let the tyrants have a monopoly on military adventurism, we see what that looks like in Ukraine and other places… but there may be situations that out involvement is either unnecessary or even counterproductive, and we need to get better at seeing those situations for what they will become.

I think you're being a little aggressive. It's a company, and they have to make money. Their stuff was opensourced, the good stuff will get forked, no need to hate Hashicorp.

Don't agree with that. That's really aggressive man. Hashicorp has built some awesome stuff, and tried to make a business based on Open Source. They haven't broken any contracts or done anything immoral - it's their choice.

Oh come on. Language specific knowledge is a game changer in programming speed & efficiency. Likewise the level of effort to understand modern React concepts has gone way up.

I don't agree with this characterization. This is not to say that foundational studies are never invalidated: I just don't think MM was one of them.

> Michelson-Morley experiment found no changes in speed of light at all. Nothing. Zero fluctuations.

The MM experiment aimed to observe a predicted effect of the theory of luminiferous aether, which would have enabled measuring the Earth's speed relative to a canonical reference frame (the aether). It was sufficiently precise to observe that predicted effect but did not observe it, which provided strong evidence that the aether theory was wrong.

Finding that any variation in the propagation of light was too small to be detected by their instruments (and too small to be consistent with aether theory) is not the same as finding that it's exactly zero.

> These fluctuations of speed of light were found much later, by LIGO/VIRGO and NANOGrav.

It's not the same fluctuations though: these experiments found much smaller fluctuations than MM looked for, from a different effect. They're not even (understood to be) fluctuations in c, but in the shape of space.

> The flaw of Michelson-Morley experiment is that it was performed in isolated environment, but tried to measure an external effect.

The later interferometer experiments (LIGO and VIRGO) are conceptually very similar to the original MM experiment. The environment is not fundamentally different, and on the contrary LIGO and VIRGO are better isolated (against ordinary vibrations: we don't know any way to isolate an experiment from gravitational waves). They're just much larger and more precise, which is why they can observe the much smaller effect of gravitational waves.

> However, Michelson-Morley experiment is one of corner stones for theory of Relativity.

Yes, but the effects observed by LIGO and VIRGO are predicted by general relativity, which is what inspired scientists to carry out those experiments. As far as I know, they are consistent with GR to the extent that LIGO and VIRGO have measured them.

This makes sense to me. I’d previously mentioned here [1]:

I have no opinion on this specific feature, but I have a general feeling that by far the hardest thing for language developers is to know when to stop.

I feel this might be the case because language developers are themselves the worst reference for a typical user. They’re experts and no matter how big a language gets, they easily wield it. Even if they recognize that complexity is going up, they can’t truly grok the cost of that.

I think Bob Ross talked about this often. That it can be tricky to know when you’re done. And it can be easy to clutter the canvas.
I think you can make a narrative something like this: traditional spiritual institutions lose their authority at the same time as technological-scientific ones gain in authority. Human beings are not good at following abstract ideas; they need other human beings to follow.

Hence scientists fall into the role of “wisdom-givers” previously held by village elders, religious leaders, etc. Seeing as scientists are not trained to care about “wisdom” or ethics beyond the basics, it’s a mismatch that results in the problems I mentioned.

Adding to this: the typical narrative is that scientific advances eroded spiritual authority, but many philosophers like Charles Taylor (in A Secular Age) show that is a vastly oversimplified view of what happened.

> You can still get punched in the face if you are an ass.

This is exactly what freedom of speech is supposed to protect us from. I think most people will agree that violence is worse than being rude. Harassment however is a different thing, people are not forced to engage in conversations they don't want to. If one tries to leave but is followed then a punch is well deserved, that's personal space being violated. But we don't punch people just because we don't agree with them that's retarded. Use your own words or leave, it's not that difficult.
Agreed! I would not take the other side of that bet! :-) Asimov sure liked to type words on a typewriter, too. So, he may well have even documented such.

Just to point out the perhaps obvious, though, in terms of the history of that specific idea, long shadows of things / your body / arms / head around sunrise / sunset could probably inspire this vague concept (in the embiggen direction) in people pre-historically. The idea can be re-cast as just "make such projection/optics 'more' real".

The GC scans the heap and stack and it would be hard for the GC to scan the heap while maintaining perfect knowledge about all the types.

Go has this problem too but they choose to use a "conservative collector" which will just assume that if something is a word that contains something that happens to be a valid location in memory it considers that location to be alive even if it's actually garbage.

The main drawback is that if you're not sure if something is really a pointer, you cannot relocate objects and compact the heap. Ocaml has a generational collector with a nursery implemented with a semi space collector. A semi space collector performs a collection which involves moving live objects and leaving the garbage behind. This is very efficient because young objects are less likely to survive and thus the amount of work is proportional to the amount of surviving objects and not the garbage.

Can second this approach. At a past job we did the same, except to connect the frontend to a Go backend.

I really like that the openAPI approach is language agnostic, and makes it relatively simple to support SDKs for many other languages if needed. For any company where the API itself is a product, OpenAPI is great.

Also a frontend developer, this feels like when I tried to grok React by osmosis and it made no sense. Then I sat down and read the docs, got the meaning of the twenty or so new terms down, and suddenly I could follow all the React stuff.

But anyway, it's the same here except that of course AI and machine learning is a far vaster topic than React so there's going to be more than twenty terms to learn.

I also felt it was the most likely explanation from the first time I read about it (March/April 2020) but even if it was “just one hypothesis” here’s the thing: if true, it has profound implications for the future of humanity. It’s not like this is just an academic question about what killed the dinosaurs. It doesn’t matter whether it can be proven; the fact that we consider it in the realm of possibility means we need to figure out what can be done to ensure the next “hypothetical” leak isn’t even worse.
That's not a reply to what I wrote. I agree that preventative measures against the spread of disease include wearing a mask in public and that this is a good idea if you've got a cold, but I think that because of an assessment of the risk.

Do you need to wear a mask alone in your own garden? It could still help you avoid a possible death. The only thing that changes between "in public" and "in my garden" is the risk: the consequence is always death. Your four-quadrant thought experiment is meaningless unless you intend to suggest that any risk of death, no matter how minor, justifies an inconvenience that might prevent it.

Frankly, yes, you should look at a daily weather report before carting an umbrella around. If there's a 0.0001% chance of rain then it's okay to risk it.

`nix develop` is for entering an environment to build the packages, and packages are built with bash.

For "I use fish shell, and I want to load the shell.nix", it's more convenient to use direnv (which uses `nix print-dev-env`). https://github.com/direnv/direnv/wiki/nix

Another option is to use `nix develop --command fish`.

I think it’s amusing that your biggest gripe about the pandemic is a few weeks in 2020 where the government put out confusing information about masks. Sure it’s a screwup, but compared to the government’s ongoing foibles sourcing and distributing PPE it was a nothingburger. By contrast, the governor of my state had to obtain PPE through his wife’s connections and had to show up with police to keep the Feds from confiscating it.

Reminds me of the Mass Effect games, where AI is essentially outlawed (because they revolted against the humans of course, but I can picture less scifi-ish reasons in the real world). I'm sure they're still allowed to use pathfinding algorithms and such, so they probably defined a level of net negative (to society) AI and just regulated that.
