I think there's another reaction to the "I've been cancelled" article (other than "no, you haven't") which is: "What is your point (which allegedly got you cancelled)?"

That's why these articles are tedious.

Not very. Mallet's is based on relativity while this is based on quantum mechanics, and at the moment we don't even have a good way to combine the two models of reality. Also, Mallet's would (if it worked) send stuff back in time, whereas this (if I read it right which is a big if) would make a genuinely random choice now just happen to be slightly correlated with the correct answer to the question you're about to ask.

They don’t have much confidence. Microsoft invested 10b into OpenAI. That investment seems to be paying off well.
People seem to forget that it took us tens of thousands of years to develop maths and a couple thousands more to conceptualize zero (and some time more for negative quantities and infinities).

So in this light this result is absolutely not surprising. In fact, it’s funny to see that the reason the answers changed is basically “because the school told me so”

I am Australian of Indian origin who also visits family each year. I had no such issues you mention (except the google region change). My Australian bank allows cash withdrawal from ATM without forex fee, most shops in Tier1&2 cities I go to accept credit cards. Verification is through in app notification, I get a local SIM. My Australian SIM has free incoming SMS.

The only issue is some places now accept UPI payments only.
Can’t risk losing the AI war entirely. Much better to be embarrassed to the tune of $2B than to have no profits from future AI success.
It's infuriatingly dumb as my backup high street banks (in multiple countries) have failed to implement this, I noticed when I got a new eco card, it's not even always 150 eur or 5 times, sometimes it is less of both.

I understand risk mitigation but I am not a moron and it's my responsibility if my card is used without my authorization and thus they can just pass liability onto me I don't care, it's not a credit card I can't spend more than I have on it.

Secondary to that, at least here they never update contactless limits, so it's still 500kc/20 eur, ať which point you are required to enter pin anyway, iirc back home in the UK many terminals allow up to 100 per transaction without pin
> WebRTC generally goes through a probing process to verify two-way connectivity before sending media.

To expand on this WebRTC is extremely complex but it certainly has one thing in common with more traditional VoIP systems - the UDP flows for media are negotiated dynamically.

You establish a signaling channel using whatever (WebRTC famously doesn't mandate a signaling protocol). This signaling channel with any authentication, verification, etc you want transports SDP (session description payload) bodies between each party (typically via a web server and websocket/datachannel/HTTP). What you end up with is a set of dynamically negotiated send/receive ports on each side and the application establishes the socket and flow between them with the receiving sockets on each side typically making sure the source IP:port pair matches what was negotiated. The listening socket on each side discards any junk that may show up from an unverified source IP:port pair.

The process you're referencing to is called ICE (Interactive Connectivity Establishment). ICE is very complex but basically what ends up happening is a series of candidates of all potential IPs, source ports, etc are evaluated for bidirectional connectivity between the parties. Once a reliable session candidate is verified the rest of the media session is established using the same source and destination IP:port pairs.

At the risk of getting too into the weeds WebRTC also does UDP port multiplexing so everything related to the session from ICE to the media, datachannel, etc are sent and received on the same socket. This is how you can have relatively high certainty you can establish a bi-directional flow between parties - because you only get this far when ICE has confirmed the IP:port flow on each side can reach the other.
I'm not, as the link I provided you with clearly explains, personal wealth in US is decreasing. It's now at the point where people have negative assets because they're forced to borrow to meet their basic needs.

What models do they have to show after 15 years of AI research? AlphaGo, AlphaFold, and that's about it. Search is mediocre, translation the same, not even their OCR APIs are very good.

On pure research they invented the transformer in 2017 (Vaswani) and word embeddings in 2012 (Mikolov). But Microsoft invented residual connections (Kaiming He 2015) which underline transformers and modern CNNs. CNNs and LSTMs were invented longe before, by Yann LeCun (1989) and Jürgen Schmidhuber (1997).

And yes, OpenAI also invented something of their own - the Adam optimiser (Kingma 2015), that trains 99% of the models today.

Hinton invented Dropout (2014) and backpropagation (1986).
Probably the simplest concept is that they're for counting things, but that doesn't lead to a clear answer as to whether you can count zero things. When you count things, zero has a physical meaning (if you have one apple and give it away, how many apples do you have?), so maybe they should be considering it a number, but not negative numbers until they get a more abstract understanding.
Yeah, dude, that's a set of words you can type. It hardly constitutes an argument. Globalized financial markets are new. The internet is new. Machines you can converse with are new. CRISPR is new, Quantum Field Theory is new, RNA vaccines are new. While I agree its true that less is novel than some people believe, the idea that nothing in the contemporary experience is worth meditating on beyond what people in the past have said is, I think, obviously absurd, pithy quotations notwithstanding.
If Google didn't let them publish, the researchers would leave for sure.

Anthropic, like OpenAI, has a big lead in Google in terms of productization, but lags behind OpenAI in visibility, posing a big risk of OpenAI getting so much mindshare that even if Google were to catch up in productization, everyone in the market would already be tied ti what was visibly the only game in town.

Helping fund Anthropic and assuring that there is visible competition also makes it more likely that LLM-backend-agnostic services will exist and a culture of evaluating offerings rather than just automatically going to OpenAI is established, which puts Google in a better position if they really are ahead in basic science and just suffering from a past lack of commeecialization focus that is remedied by the recent reorg and refocusing of Google’s AI efforts.

(Also, it may help avoid the situation where Google’s lack of product and and the financial relationship between other cloud providers and the AI vendors that have competitive product means that Azure is the favored enterprise platform for OpenAI, Amazon works out something similar with Anthropic, and Google Cloud loses competitive position because Google AI isn’t competitive and Google doesn't have the right partnerships.)

Try asking if B is a letter or a word. (Pronounce it as 'b', not 'bee', or you'll just make it more confusing.)

Seems a lot of these basic classifications are an early stumbling block. Even if they can count or rattle the whole alphabet, they haven't learned the meaning of the words "word", "letter", or "number" as terminology.

Initially sentences/words/letters/numbers are all just 'sound'. "What's the sound of this?" is equivalent to "Read this."

Personally, I think exams are a horrible way to determine what people have actually understood. Most school exams are just looking for specific "magic" words that are learnt by rote. Questions might be set up to ask why water appears on the outside of a cold glass and the answer would be considered correct if the answer used the word "condensation" without needing any concept of humidity.

>Isn't that lack of independent mobility largely caused by car-centric urban planning?

If it is, then comparing EU versus US should show a clear difference, as US cities are much, much more car-centric than most (any?) EU city.

Personally, I don't see “children’s independent mobility” as a problem (I live in Denmark). At least, not an issue that is any different from when I was a child. The only major difference I see is that kids aren't allowed the same mobility by helicopter parents (everything is too dangerous these days, even though in reality it is better).
Turns out there was no LOD for cims (among some other assets?) as per comment from Paradox:

https://www.videogamer.com/news/cities-skylines-2-teeth-perf...

> “Citizen lifepath feature does not tie to citizen geometry and does not affect the performance figures of the characters. We know the characters require further work, as they are currently missing their LODs which affect some parts of performance. We are working on bringing these to the game along general LODs improvements across all game assets. Characters feature a lot of details that, while seemingly unnecessary now, will become relevant in the future of the project.“

So I guess sometimes these things can elude professional game developers over years of development.
Good article.

At age 11, I went downstairs to announce I was ready for tomorrow's maths exam, where we would need to plot equations like y = x - 3.

I'd love to see the statistics on the daily number of Google searches since OpenAI (ChatGPT in particular) came to the fore this year.

Anecdotally, I now use ChatGPT for at least 25-50% of the queries that I previously would have had no other channel for other than a search engine.

If I was in charge of Alphabet I'd be starting to worry. This move makes them look a bit desperate.

They're good at research.

They're bad at turning the research into a product.

Specifically, most AI based products need to be trained on user data, and Google is too scared to make any real use of much user data in AI models for fear of getting sued into oblivion if, for example, gmail can be tricked into writing something in an email which reveals some other gmail users private data.

The gist of it seems to be: intuitively zero is nothing and not a number but eventually you discover that it's useful to think about it and use it as a number so you change your mind, maybe without even noticing.

By the way, some kids misunderstood the digit zero for the number zero.

> “Yes, you already asked me! It’s a number for nothing. You can use it to make 100.”

> “Yes, you already asked this! It’s in the number 10, so it must be a number. We don’t mix shapes like this.”

Imagine the surprise if told that A, B, C etc are also numbers :-)

How do you actually calculate pi to say 1000 digits? or 10,000? Most info I found on google take you to pre-solved lists of digits OR code that is optimised beyond recognition so I'm unsure how you actually do the calculation to begin with.
I had Chapter 6 open while working on this post :) I should probably cite it too. As far as I could see that book doesn't talk about kernels arising from gradient descent, but it does say many other things about GP kernels. Certainly it has the main things I used.

It's amusing how facts that look surprising and mysterious to the rest of the world are just table stakes at the right sort of math department. As a researcher I feel the pressure to make things that are "my own", but there's so much that already exists just waiting to be grokked and plugged in!

I cannot wait for the day where I can create a list of blocked terms "Musk, Trump, American politics, ..." and have an intelligent LLM filter so that it doesn't matter what site I visit, whether The Verge, or The Guardian, or Reddit, all articles or posts related to these terms will be gone.

I think this has a chance to have a far higher effect than just ad tech. It's going to effect all media publishers. But I also expect them, led by Google and Facebook, to fight this tooth and nail with every dirty trick they can.

It's currently operated in Dublin. Barcode on back of each of 3 bins (recyclables, non-recyclables and organic). Recyclables and organic are free, and non-recyclables includes a quota of x kg per month included in your monthly fee. You pay extra per kg if you go over the quota for non-recyclables in any month. The system encourages recycling, but at the risk of people contaminating the (free) recyclables bin with non recyclable material.

Except there already is a welcome screen that gives a "choice" (between quotes) about sending telemetry or not, if I remember correctly.

This however does not prevent sending telemetry. In fact, telemetry is sent to MS before the user has a choice about sending telemetry.

So whether you agree that telemetry is useful for understanding a product and so on (a whole separate discussion), the fact that the user does not have a real choice IS user hostile.

The user should have a real choice here.

The types of queries where gpt is useful (or I hope will soon be useful) to me are those where google themselves have "destroyed the internet.^"

If you want to basic information about a physical exercise, a recipe, a travel destination or such... All the content in Google seems to be content farmed. Written by people who don't know, quickly, by copying similar articles. It's just a buggy, manual version of the proverbial gpt anyway. At this point, I may as well just go direct.

If I want to know about doing weighted crunches instead of sit ups, Google results already represent all the downsides of using gpt. The got UI is nicer. You can also narrow in on your questions, push back and generally get the same level of content in a better package.

Maybe the old chestnut of "computerized recipe book" will finally be solved.
