the people staying in the AirBnB's tend to eat out more often

I doubt it. One of the reasons people choose AirBnB over hotels is that they want a kitchen so that they don't have to eat out. As to taxes, while the city is still getting the property tax, they're losing out on the hotel taxes that the people staying in the AirBnB would otherwise have paid. Plus the profits that are now going to AirBnB would otherwise have gone to the hotel owner/managers and thus been more likely to get spent in the city.

So on net I'd say people staying in AirBnBs generate quite a bit less money for the city than if they'd stayed in a hotel. The only places that this sort argument works is for places that are so out of the way or unpopular that they simply don't really have hotels for people to stay in.
If a human can apply AI irresponsibly, the AI can probably also learn to apply AI irresponsibly.
That argument is a variation of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), that at any moment market prices already reflect all information available to the public. Or as the old joke goes, two economists are walking down the street and pass by a hundred dollar bill without picking it up. A little while later one turns to the other and asks "was that a hundred dollar bill on the ground?" To which the other replies "it must be fake, if it was real someone would have picked it up already."

Every graduate level economics and finance student is aware of this joke, and also know EMH with more nuance than "you can't make money with trading". There's tons of research and debate about the various forms of the EMH. But you don't have to believe anything anyone else wrote. There's plenty of data and computing software available, so anyone can try everything for themselves.

I didn't agree with their conclusion. But the quoted part seemed correct. Some response codes are much more common than others. Redirects are followed by some other code unless the web site is broken in some way. 410 means the web site removed something. Most of the time 404 means the same. Or a link was generated incorrectly.
Do you live in Western society? There is a prevelant point of view that it is wiser to have children later, because otherwise it hurts your career.

I am not saying this is wrong. It does, though, decrease the number of kids we have.

You seem keen to promote this, as you posted the same reply twice.

It's not the same thing at all, or even very comparable, AFAICS.

Your site produces a Fedora COPR. One of the people on the COPR team spent 10 min trying to explain to me what COPR meant at a Flock conference a few years ago. The actual answer is:

"It's a PPA but for Fedora instead of Ubuntu."

SUSE OBS does not build repos and it does not build openSUSE packages. I am running native Debian packages on Ubuntu right now built on OBS (Waterfox, notably.)

OSB builds anything for any OS. It's basically a free public CI/CD server, and it's platform-neutral.

I have not checked but I believe it can also build Windows and macOS binaries as well.
Closing the terminal app is pretty intuitive to me.

We know that obesity and sedentary lifestyles have become vastly more common and significantly increase the risk of many cancers. We know that diagnosis rates have greatly increased because of widespread population screening, more sensitive diagnostic tests and improved access to healthcare. It shouldn't particularly surprise us that there has been a small but steady increase in the rate of diagnosed cancers in recent decades.

We should be very cautious about immediately jumping to the conclusion that something we don't like (plastics, mobile phones, vaccines) is probably terribly carcinogenic despite the lack of causal evidence.
My cameras are still POE (UniFi Protect), but i had already run the cables for it, so not much point i replacing them just for the sake of moving to WiFi.

My "server" is also wired, as is my Hue Bridge, Tado Bridge and other "IoT" devices that doesn't support wifi, but when it comes to user accessible machines there is exactly one, which is my "go to" machine in case the router/switch dies and i can't get on the WiFi.

Do we have enough historical weather data to train a decent AI on? Maybe this is already being done and is just a quieter area of research (in the headline sense)? I know for example every time a hurricane comes toward land all the weather places trot out a half dozen different model predictions saying different things. It would be great if there was more confidence in this area for planning.
It's one thing to make an unwanted purchase, but quite another to burn to the ground out of spite. And I believe it's not out of spite. It's hubris and incompetence.
For a quick start, can recommend Clojure using VSCode as editor (with the Calva plugin).

Not really, imo. The biggest advantage of Mongo was being able to store a single hierarchical document and search it. Now that you can do that in the RDBMS there's no advantage at all. You also throw away all capability of doing relations in the database with Mongo which is optional in an RDBMS and sometimes very beneficial.

Mongo could win if it were more performant or had a better query syntax... but it isn't and it doesn't. It might have some slight advantage in the speed you can set up a replicated cluster but you'll pay long-term in overall performance from my experience. If all you are doing is storing documents, just use an S3 bucket, etc...

Did you ask GPT that? That'd explain how it didn't notice that "Gate" doesn't start with an "O". Note that ChatGPT has real difficulties resolving words to letters.

Anyway, it's not an acronym, it's an onomatopoeia for an explosion. It's a memorable way of representing an intelligence explosion: "AI go foom." (Wild hand gesture strongly recommended.)

Any rational prior supports it if one cares to think for a second.

Nobody said so.

And a theoretical AGI (or ASI) will realise this. This makes me think of the Person of Interest series, in which ASIs are built and they go for each others throats hard. This makes eerily more sense now. We will know we created super intelligences not when they start trying to kill us, but when they start trying to kill each other.
Now throw in access to a gun and the odds of you being able to take your life in a vulnerable situation rise dramatically.

Throw in access to a smartphone where you’re bombarded with images and videos of the best version of everyone you know’s lives and you start feeling even more like you are the problem and are more likely to take your life when in a vulnerable position.

Throw in cyber bullying and if you happened to be bullied by any groups you’re part of that bullying would continue even when you’re home.

The one good thing about the internet is that it may have allowed you to communicate with others in your situation and help you realize you’re not the problem.

But we don’t need smartphones (and an always available camera) for that.

This explains a lot about Canonical. They are delusional if they think bright people will go through that much to work a job which doesn't even pay that much. I have interviewed some really bright people and usually if you don't respond to them within 2 weeks, they have already found a job somewhere else.

It's not an issue, it's an optimization problem. I look at this as an exponential. Before chat gpt was launched a bit over a year ago, the amount of AI in our lives was relatively low. We had bits and pieces here and there but everyday life wasn't really affected by it. At best you might be yelling at siri or alexa to do whatever and maybe getting some OKish results.

Fast forward 1 year. We now have students revolutionizing education (by submitting AI doctored papers and homework that isn't half bad). People in law dealing with people using AI. AIs passing medical, legal, and other exams. That was just one year. And yes, it's tediously slow to use. But last year we had nothing.

It's going to be an exponential in terms of adoption, response speed, energy usage, parameter numbers, context size and a lot of optimization. I think we are not that far off from AIs being able to keep up with a conversation and being able to respond right away. For all you hitchhiker's to the galaxy readers, that would be babelfish sorted. Translation quality is already pretty awesome with chat gpt 4. I've not caught it making major translation mistakes. Speech to text, translate the text, text to speech. Now we are conversing with our chat bots rather than hammering out sentences in some text box.

It's hard to not see that go from a novelty "oh this is cool" to world + dog basically using this on a daily basis throughout the day. At the same time it will get smarter. Everybody is waiting for the singularity where it is clearly smarter than Einstein in his prime and running circles around everyone else. But for most questions you might ask chat gpt and get a reasonable answer, the vast majority of people around you might be pretty useless. Is that smarter? I don't know. But definitely more useful.

From where we are now to this being ubiquitous and used by pretty much anyone is probably a few years. I remember when smart phones happened. One day everybody was minding their own business and a year later the streets were full of zombies glued to their screen. Just happened very quickly. This might be the same but possibly quicker.

* The laws specify that it must be opt-in. If a site doesn't respect this, you can't expect it to respect any of your choices anyway.

It seems a bit weird to include, in your article about how being sufficiently smart doesn't let you take over the world, a proof of concept that being sufficiently smart can make you a billionaire.

Isn't the hedge-fund-bro example a proof of existence, not a counterexample? (RenTech by itself would be enough of a proof of existence.)
Should I be reincarnated, I try to be born in a country with a high death rate from cancer.

Coincidentally, they correlate with the countries that have a high life expectancy.

But beware, the average cancer mortality there has been decreasing for decades.

Thank you for the detailed response.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have a suspicion you don’t use Twitter, you study it. Thus you are viewing the fringes, but perhaps not aware of the average user’s experience.

AFAIK Twitter uses a demoting algorithm in order to demote offensive content. A different form of moderation that doesn’t silence. I don’t think the previous iteration of Twitter with strong moderation made it a better social media site (nor a forum for free speech).

I can only speak to my own experience using Twitter near daily, but I have almost never come across hateful content (in whichever political bend it may take). I actually found it a great resource for my interests like AI, psychology, etc.

Thus statements like:

> The lack of moderation is one of the reason why Twitter is such a horrible place - but there are other causes, it basically encourages toxic behavior and passive aggression due to its rules and their inconsequent and inconsistent enforcement.

Or

> It's just the typical content you get on Twitter.

run very counter to my own experience on the platform.

Do you actually use Twitter? What kind of people do you follow? How does it differ from your own experience with other social media sites?

Typically the way this works is its a closed loop with antifreeze in it for cold weather and it coils through a water cylinder to do the heating. So the water that flows through the roof panels never goes anywhere.

There are a few reasons for this, mainly the extremes of weather both hot and cold you don't want 90C water in your shower nor to freeze water in the system and break it. All of which adds to the cost any complexity but if you dont do it they don't work.

Much of my web experience is broken by default due to blocking Google or occasionally Microsoft ad analytic data. Many flows expect these to load even if it is not necessary for the functioning of the site. Many other sites break just due to strict enforcement of anti-cross-site tracking.

I'm not just talking about ad supported sites, although I guess you could say that Google Drive is indirectly ad supported.

Since I do most of my ad blocking at the network layer rather than in my browser, it's not always obvious to me as the user whether it was a "my blocking broke the site" error or a "The site is broken" error.

I believe this happens because branch prediction lets you pipeline multiple simultaneous comparisons, and rewind whenever the branch predictor is wrong (about half the time for truly random data and inputs). The CMOV approach blocks after each comparison function due to the data dependency. On average, you're doing two comparisons at a time with branches, and one with CMOV, so when comparison time is greater than branch prediction penalty, you would expect a crossover to occur.

> the weather places trot out a half dozen different model predictions saying different things

This should give you a hint that it's not as simple as having enough weather data.

You are trying to predict a chaotic weather system that is impacted by everything from sea temperatures, sun activity, wind, volcanoes, bushfires, atmosphere changes etc. Much of which we don't even have enough data for or a complete understanding of.
I think the currently blessed CSS solution is to only use {inline,block}-{start,end} https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_logical... in place of {left,right,top,bottom} which then automagically supports even vertical scripts like Traditional Mongolian, but most people probably don't think that far ahead when just starting out.

As i mentioned before, i know hosting these files on our local server is not the best practice. There are other businesses doing this thing and Google is not marking them harmful. All files are zipped with a password, we provide the password to users.

Also, the filename is not a unique indicator the identify a file as malware. I can put the filename as "Google Chrome.exe" and that doesn't mean this is a malware.

The second issue is, we just changed the our domain name and when i try to add it to "Authorized redirect URIs" for Oauth getting this error: "The request has been classified as abusive and was not allowed to proceed". So, i have no idea about what is going on about my domain.

He makes a good point. The only real way to "summon the demon" is if AGI is centralized. If each of us has a maximally intelligent AGI in our phone - and it is us as individuals controlling the prompts, then the playing field is levelled. Unstoppable force meets unstoppable force. Gun meets gun. A tale as old as society.

Software products have near-zero marginal cost of production and distribution. Physical products have significant marginal cost of production and distribution.

Monopoly dynamics for ubiquitous products comes in large degree from the economies of scale across production and distribution. This allows larger companies to supply the same thing for less money. Even if you eliminated branding, you could not produce and supply a coca-cola can at the same price as coca-cola can :)

With software, you cannot get the same cost advantage through scale.
> The problem is your model needs to include all the computers playing the market, and it also needs to include the other hedge fund bros themselves.

The error here is equating hard takeoff with such granular and expensive world prediction. Human intelligence finds more efficient compression than this. When Donald Trump decides what provocative thing to say in a speech, he isn't granularly modeling the human intelligence of his supporters, opponents, journalists, and media organizations in a particularly CPU-costly way. He's just discovered some narrower domain where there's a vein of predictability that simplifies the whole system enough that he can guess a tweet or speech will be provocative in the desired way. The same thing happens when a scientist is studying cold fusion or dangerous viruses.

You don't have to predict what will work, you just have to predict what might work, and try and try again. AI doesn't have to be good at predicting the future in any absolute terms. It just has to be better than us at predicting what is worth trying.

Once it is better than us at deciding what's worth trying, why not FOOM? FOOM isn't guaranteed perhaps, but why is it not at least one of the likely outcomes?
