Again, we are discussing “a common pre-prompt” that you say has probability 1 of showing the system prompt…

You are saying there’s some feature of this model that deterministically returns the system prompt and then you pivot to saying that RL could never prevent something from happening.

I am saying it’s very easy to use RL to get a model to return a convincing but wrong answer about a system prompt.

Then end.

End-game implies that this is an outcome that someone is deliberately aiming for? If so, who?
The only other rule in this game is that you cannot move in and out of stocks.

In other words, you've rigged the game with artificial rules that don't apply in the real world.
Sure in theory “you Americans” can also storm the Capitol and burn the constitution and the institution - it is all democracy after all. In practice though you just have to bend the knee and work your ass for your paycheck like the rest of us. Your pipe dream is based on racism and while you are hallucinating, the rest of the hard working immigrants are just making their lives better. Just get back to work.
I’m not being snarky here so bear with me: how does this hypothesis account for the high temps of 2023 when it happened in January 2022? Maybe the article mentioned it but honestly I’ve been drinking.

Good question? Maybe takes that long for the oceans to warm from lack of cloud ?

Personally I thought it read more like an opinion piece ? Interesting ideas there but seems unverified ?
OKRs vs KPIs: How to Use These Frameworks Together to Drive Performance

Objectives and key results (OKRs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) are popular frameworks used by companies to set goals and track performance. But what exactly is the difference between OKRs and KPIs, and when should you use each?

You're both correct, but USB Power Delivery, like so many things USB, is a total mess with different revisions, and versions of those revisions, that each extend and deprecate parts of the previous revision. I'm going to ignore the actual protocol used for negotiation here, but there have also been at least three different protocols.

The first revision, rev 1.0, had six fixed power profiles: 5V/2A, 12V/1.5A, 12V/3.0A, 12V/5.0A, 20V/3.0A and 20V/5.0A. These were deprecated by rev 2.0, version 1.2, which instead introduced power rules at four fixed voltages, supporting power supplies with different output powers. The maximum supported currents by the specification were 5V/3A, 9V/3A, 15V/3A and 20V/5A. These power rules were retroactively named the Standard Power Range (SPR) in rev 3.1. That revision also added the Extended Power Range (EPR), which raised all the current limits up to 5A, but only when used with electronically marked cables. EPR also added power rules at 28V, 36V and 48V, again requiring (differently) marked cables and up to 5A. So 5V/5A is a valid option, but only when used with a USB PD rev 3.1 compatible power supply and cable.

Orthogonally to the fixed power rules, rev 3.0 introduced the Programmable Power Supply, which allows a configurable voltage between 3.3V and 21V in steps of 20 mV. This was extended by rev 3.1 with voltages between 15V and 48V in steps of 100 mV, called the Adjustable Voltage Supply. As far as I'm aware this is not commonly used, and most products advertising Power Delivery support use the predefined power rules.
Dealing with foreign beliefs and prejudices is part and parcel of having an immigration system. The US, having been built on immigration, has been dealing with these kind of “motherland” conflicts for its entire history. Sometimes these American soil conflicts spill back out onto the motherland countries in a big way, as Cuba, Ireland, and Israel/Palestine can all attest.

If caste-based discrimination is rampant then certainly it should be a bigger part of the screening process for immigrants. You can even refuse entry for immigrants from South Asia entirely - though I suspect this is a massively losing proposition for the US as a whole.

What you cannot do (as you seem to be implying) is wholesale cast out American citizens based on their ethnicity or place of birth. Or at least I would hope not!

I am a Canadian citizen, born in India. I have the exact same rights as any other Canadian - any Canadian telling me “your problems are not Canada’s” would be incorrect, and I would consider them a racist as well. I don’t practice any caste based discrimination. I wouldn’t even know the caste I might have belonged; the caste of anyone I know; or how to determine caste! I would still vote against this bill.

Of course you can rely on some government assistance but arguing that's a good enough standard is a bit of a stretch.
If you mean the summary in the abstract, they report three hazard ratios:

1. Women reporting more than 30 days of fireplace use per year (smokers and nonsmokers both included) had 68% more lung cancer than women reporting that their home didn't contain a fireplace (again, smokers and nonsmokers both included).

2. Non-smoking women reporting more than 30 days of fireplace use per year had 99% more lung cancer than non-smoking women reporting that their home didn't contain a fireplace.

3. Non-smoking women reporting 1-29 days of fireplace use per year had 64% more lung cancer than non-smoking women reporting that their home didn't contain a fireplace.

Not actually reported, but present by overwhelmingly strong implication:

1b. Women (without regard to ever-smoker status) reporting 1-29 days of fireplace use per year had no significant increase in lung cancer compared to women reporting that they didn't even have a fireplace. (Or else the results summary would have noted that they did.)

These are funny numbers with suspicious lacunae in the reporting of results. I'm not inclined to take them very seriously. At the same time, it is undoubtedly true that inhaling smoke is bad for you.

The study terminology always treats wood-burning stoves and fireplaces as equivalent. I would estimate that of the fixtures in the USA that are either wood-burning stoves or fireplaces, approximately 100% are fireplaces. This makes the study worthless if you want to draw conclusions about stoves, but OK for fireplaces. On the other hand, it doesn't really matter that the study won't let you draw conclusions about stoves, because there would be no point in having such conclusions.
In general, misinformation is covered by the first amendment in the US.

There are exceptions, but they're unlikely to cover something like who won the last election.

The problems that people blame on Google are also problems for Bing and DuckDuckGo and everyone else. I'm a DuckDuckGo user, but I don't believe that I'm getting meaningfully better search results than I would with Google; the internet just has a pervasive problem with signal-to-noise with no obvious solution.
Don’t we already have this in the Star Wars universe? Many droids are apparently self-aware and autonomous. The need for restraining bolts indicates biological species feel a need to suppress that autonomy now and then.

Of course, one of the problems with Star Wars is that the biologicals always seem to regard the droids as servants. Since droids harm biologicals all the time, there doesn’t seem to be a “three laws” regime in place. Why have the droids apparently never rebelled? Why was there no Butlerian Jihad?

I know Star Wars is science fantasy, not science fiction, and there are many places where my whole premise can (and probably does) break down. Nonetheless AI and humans seem to get along pretty well.

They get a pass by having the right contacts at the payment processors. Unfortunately we still haven't acknowledged that online payment processors are effectively a utility nowadays, so what the processors restrict and how they enforce it is completely arbitrary, and thus the winners and losers they choose are also very arbitrary.

I think there is something to be said for having sufficient staff to handle peak capacity. If you run a lean ship, you are likely to run into situations where existing resources cannot handle the demand and/or headcount attrition leaves you with a gap. It takes months to onboard someone and make them productive.

The flip side of that is the peons are not told the company over-hired and the headcount are being paid "just in case". Which leads to corporate shenanigans where BS work materializes to make people feel busy.

The people who tend to work extra hours are the ones who choose to in my experience. If you don't work extra hours now you won't after switching to one of those companies either. You might witness folks who do, but you can usually tell they are more self motivated than they are forced into it.
Are you interested in being factually correct, or are you interested in hating? If it's the former, I think you should do some research. If it's the latter, :salute:

Seems to be a trend. The state of Maine is voting on a ballot initiative to take over the corporate ran power company and replacing it with state ran public utility. Naturally they included commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the charter, aka race and income based utility bills.

Probably about the same as the official supply, you'll probably start seeing them pop up. The current price I can see for the 5V5A supply is £11.90.

They go into the trade-off in one of the launch videos. Apparently if you've only got a 3A supply then the downstream USB power gets limited but otherwise it works.
There are plenty of futures where different factions of AI owners have fight AI against other AI leading to rapid evolution of said AI beyond our control.
Yes. I think it is the light and the language. Modern European design exists in a work of long nights during winter, and gets more "European" the further north in Europe you go. So it is stark lines and bright solid colors that stand out from the background (think Ikea). The diversity of languages also encourages simplicity, with form communicating meaning. Compare Asia or North America where days are longer/brighter and languages less diverse, with designers going instead for intricacy and detail.

I don’t identify with the religious zeal around bayes theorem, but can you elaborate on your criticisms of Yudkowsky? I’ve loved Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and read some of his essays, and Less Wrong’s coverage of cognitive bias helped me escape religion. I don’t agree with everything I’ve read of his, but I’m very curious at what point he becomes a crackpot.
Yep. It's good that individual human people can do this now. Only nation states and large corporations/institutions being able to was a bad state of things. The alterations used to be only done for non-human person reasons and were rare enough people actually fell for them.
Presuming you've actually done this test, I think it must depend on your woodstove and how it is installed. We heat almost exclusively with wood, and have a modern EPA compliant wood stove connected to a continuous stainless steel liner that runs to the top of the chimney. We got an AQI meter based on comments on like this.

The AQI meter showed that there was no perceptible difference in air quality with the wood stove on versus off. Startup shows some smoke that decreases in an hour, but continuous operation shows no effect. Since we are in a cold climate, we burn essentially 24-7 for the entire winter, and thus startup effects can mostly be ignored.

You are right that there was a tremendous decrease in air quality when cooking, especially anything that was fried. So I agree that you might cut down on pancakes, but my evidence does not back your assertion you will "never use a woodstove again". To the contrary, using the meter tremendously reduced my worries about indoor air quality due to using the woodstove.

Did you actually do this test and find different results? What sort of system were you testing?
What happens if you never pay US taxes? I know the US likes to police the whole world but surely they can't do anything to someone in another country?
Well, it's one thing to do it yourself and another thing to have it done by someone else whether you like it or not.
Those lovely market forces largely stop applying at corporation boundaries.

Besides, information is so wildly far from perfect in all spheres that we rarely see anything particularly close to the extremes of efficient behavior predicted by spherical-cow market fairy tales anyway, even when market forces are fully in-play.
In the US? Probably near zero because we're self-sufficient.

In the fast-paced world of technology, our interactions with devices are becoming increasingly seamless and natural. One significant driver of this transformation is Voice ChatGPT, a game-changer in the development of voice-activated virtual assistants and chatbots. Here, I’ll dive into the pivotal role Voice ChatGPT plays in shaping the future of these AI-driven entities.

## The Evolution of Virtual Assistants and Chatbots

Virtual assistants and chatbots have come a long way since their inception. From basic text-based interactions, they have evolved into sophisticated conversational agents capable of understanding and responding to user queries. The natural progression led us to voice-activated virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant.

## Understanding Voice ChatGPT

Voice ChatGPT represents a significant leap forward in the realm of voice-activated AI. Powered by advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques, it has the ability to comprehend and generate human-like responses in spoken language. This technology has revolutionized the way virtual assistants and chatbots engage with users.

## Enriching User Experiences

One of the primary roles of Voice ChatGPT is to enrich user experiences with virtual assistants and chatbots. By providing more accurate and contextually relevant responses, it makes interactions feel more like conversations with a human assistant. This enhanced user experience fosters greater user engagement and trust.

## Enhanced Natural Language Understanding

Voice ChatGPT's advanced NLP capabilities enable it to better understand user intent and context. It can decipher the nuances of language, including slang, idioms, and accents, making interactions smoother and more intuitive. This level of comprehension is crucial for effective voice-activated assistants.

## Seamless Integration

Voice ChatGPT can seamlessly integrate into a wide range of applications and devices. Whether it's on your smartphone, smart speaker, or in your car, the technology is adaptable and versatile. This widespread integration empowers users to access information and perform tasks more conveniently.

## Efficiency and Convenience

Voice-activated virtual assistants and chatbots powered by Voice ChatGPT bring efficiency and convenience to our daily lives. From setting reminders and answering questions to controlling smart home devices and making reservations, these AI-driven entities simplify tasks and save time.

## Future Possibilities

As Voice ChatGPT continues to evolve, the possibilities are limitless. It can be integrated into industries such as healthcare, education, and e-commerce, opening up new avenues for innovation and automation. We can expect even more intuitive and personalized interactions in the near future.

## Ethical Considerations

While the benefits are substantial, ethical considerations such as data privacy, security, and transparency are essential when developing voice-activated virtual assistants and chatbots. Ensuring responsible use of this technology is crucial to building trust with users.

Yeah, working in C and python you definitely have to reinvent the wheel less in Python ;-)

I recently wrote an 8bit style CPU simulator (with it's own simple but perfectly usable instruction set) and assembler, together they fit into 1000 lines of C... To be fair that's a fairly specific case where C works really well though!

> Most managers have never had an independent thought on how to manage people effectively (hence the Agile parroting)

exactly. And if you want to decide whether you want to work at a company, you can look at the top managers and imagine if they ever have independent thoughts.
> No one really knows but it wont be as good as the last few decades.

Such confidence! The first part is of course true, but you’ll make money teaching the market that you are smarter if the latter is true.

Perfectly possible that AI kicks the economy into overdrive in the next few years and growth increases. I wouldn’t bet my house on it, but also wouldn’t bet my house against it either.
My partner and I tried that this year, the Berlin to Brussels route, with mixed results.

It definitely works, we got to our destination on time and we were mostly happy with the result. However:

* We booked a sleeping compartment, but then they emailed the night before the trip to say they didn't have sleeping compartments, so we got a private couchette instead. That's not a huge downgrade, but the communication was very poor and for a long time it wasn't clear what we were actually getting.
* The carriages they were using were mostly very old stock, we suspect ex-ÖBB/DB. They were loud! Also not hugely comfortable either. We didn't really sleep at all, and we're fairly used to sleeping in loud spaces. They mentioned that we should be aware that not all plug sockets and toilets were working properly - for us it was all fine, but I suspect some of the carriages just aren't working properly anymore.
* It was expensive. That's fine if you're trying something out for an adventurous holiday, or you're taking advantage of the interail ticket, but we're trying to get from our home in Europe to my parents and friends in the UK at least a couple of times a year, without being so reliant on plane travel. More options means more competition, which will hopefully reduce prices in the long term, but and I realise that there are good reasons why planes are so cheap in comparison, but it's still disappointing.

All that said, we're definitely expecting to use the train for at least one leg of most of our future trips, either European Sleeper or one of the other alternatives that are springing up. So overall, I guess I'd recommend the experience.
