I can't remember the source, but reading about London civilians living through pre- and post- supersonic weapons may help guide treatment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-2_rocket#Assessment

> The psychological effect of the V-2 was considerable, as the V-2, traveling faster than the speed of sound, gave no warning before impact (unlike bombing planes or the V-1 flying bomb, which made a characteristic buzzing sound). There was no effective defence and no risk of pilot or crew casualties.
I wonder if the laws will be written in a way that we can get around them by just dropping the “AI” marketing fluff and saying that we’re building some ML/stats system.
Aside from your email account and maybe a few other critical accounts, you should probably just not bother. If you lose your passkey there should be a "lost passkey" flow just like there has been for a forgotten password.
The cabin is about 200 miles away from home. I took a cursory glance at ARPS, and it seems like an very cool place to start, so thank you!

Any links/videos/books you may be able to suggest would be of great interest as well.
The great battle.
What I mean is new in embedded, not proficient in C, and green enough to jump to conclusions about the whole "embedded ecosystem" from a product targeting casual amateur market.

Things on the systems end facing the hardware are not really harder but different enough to command their own learning curve.

It's easy for me to believe it's not always been (and doesn't have to be) THIS bad.

There's functional value in a capitalist system. It just requires ongoing maintenance, to avoid situations like we're currently in. It's not self-repairing. Operated properly, it makes market conditions self-repairing, but this is at the expense of the potential market capturers.
This was a curious (and I'd argue unobvious) response to my request. I think it's fair to say I'm a free speech advocate, and I do want to hear more. I appreciate that you are tired, and I'm grateful that you've offered me more of your perspective. Thank you. If you change your mind, I'll be listening. `/salute`.
You're just throwing jargon at the wall to dismiss folks who want to learn
They sound like honest answers. The question is more if it is dangerous enough to constitute actual negligence. I'd argue that self driving cars are statically safer that having your arms crossed doesn't really constitute a risk.
Maybe by then Canada will have some sort of MAID tourist visa.
Thing is, none of the people i followed for COVID takes did that. They've carried on posting about infectious diseases. So i think it is possible to distinguish between these barbecue-level fake public intellectuals, and real experts, because apparently i did that.

That people do pay attention to the Tomas Pueyos of the world is a problem - but not because it's impossible not to, just because they're doing it!
I just want the 100k context window Anthropic gave Claude, but for GPT. Claude likes to hallucinate when I ask it to build chapter notes for a class I’m taking, and I don’t want to have to break up the text into tiny bits for GPT…
Oh, embryos. That is a little different.
It's kind of crazy to not have h264 decoded by hardware in 2023, even if it's low on CPU usage nowdays, it's still by far the most used codec.
This is pretty tight
It seem like a lot of people who buy trucks are afraid to use their expensive status symbol to haul anything.
China also uses Capital to invest. They have one of the largest capital markets in the world. I think what you do not like is not capitalism but free markets or the extent of freedom of the agents in those markets. But no matter what capital is the best way to industrialize a nation and this has been proven in Japan, Korea and China.

>the outsourcing of much of the hardware manufacturing base overseas has resulted in a decrepit technological base.

This is nonsense. All this shows to me is that you are not aware of the current semiconductor supply chain of which the US is a large member. And I suggest you find out how democratic the "hiring and promotion policy" is in Korea, or how concentrated the wealth is there.
It's not really. Communism is just the super monopoly on everything by one firm (plus a bunch of kooky religious like beliefs). This subset of VC funding uses is basically abusing external funding to gain market dominance so that one can abuse your customers with product changes that make the product more profitable for you. It's very equivalent to how an oligopolist/monopolist enters new markets using money from the rest of the business to undercut everyone in the new market and push them out. It's bad for society, just like communism.

This doesn't mean there's no place for VC funding, there's lots of legitimate uses for it (i.e. handling mismatched cost/revenue flows from expansion where there are a lot of upfront costs and cash flows come over the following years). Just that it's usually more profitable to be a monopolist/oligopolist and so that has been where the money has been flowing, at great detriment to society.
Arduino is "just" C++, it uses gcc to compile after all. There's minimal amounts of text-level meddling in the toolchain that e.g. includes some headers, declares your methods and defines an entry point for you.

The problem is that if the bomb is intended to kill a specific target, it's much harder to do so anonymously. If it is intended to "send a message", anonymity is usually the opposite of what the bomber wants.

A lot of so-called anonymous attacks also leave traces that can be used to pin the attack on someone if there is sufficient political will to lead a thorough investigation. And of course the victim can still decide to interpret them differently even if you didn't want to remain anonymous. Consider for example how Turkey would attribute acts of terrorism in Turkey to the PKK despite ISIS claiming them, because it was politically useful to justify a focus on attacking PKK-aligned Rojava in Syria even when it meant aligning with ISIS.

I guess what's saving us from anonymous bombings being commonplace is that few people are willing to carry them out, foolhardy to do so despite the risk of being caught, competent enough to carry them out successfully and sufficiently motivated to cause the death and injury of their victims. And of course the people most likely to be targeted tend to also be much harder to target.

And on an individual grievance level: while it's almost trivially possible to kill someone without being found out, it's much harder to kill a specific someone you want to kill without being found out.
The majority of domestically-owned S&P shares are owned by either pension funds or IRAs (401ks): https://theirrelevantinvestor.com/2020/10/25/who-owns-the-st...

The foreign share is a roughly similar breakdown to the domestic share.

How do you think Pension Funds get a return if not investing in equities in similar ratios to most people's 401k allocation?
That is interesting but the same study also says that 21.7% of this cohort disengaged from the clinic. So the rate could be even higher, depending on if they stopped treatment entirely or changed to another service provider.
Average reading level consensus from https://readabilityformulas.com/readability-scoring-system.p... is "college graduate". Most people read well below their theoretical grade level. For example about half of high school graduates read at a grade 8 level or below.

There have been a number of surveys of adult proficiency in reading. For instance the 2013 PIAAC. From that, I would estimate less than 2% of people can read this.

If you're in that number, great! So am I. But the complexity of the language still limits the potential audience.

Part of the issue is that there is no simple Why. To invent one is to either petition history or invent some perspective. It's not a bad idea to do these things, didactically, but they're unnecessary for the material. Or, said another way, there's something to be said for discovering your own "why" through familiarity with the many wonderous properties the complex numbers enjoy.

That said, that's a frustrating answer. An excellent book which does just what I said above and tells a lightly fictionalized "just so" story of the "history and development" of mathematics as an excuse to introduce everything in a motivated fashion is MacLane's Mathematics: Form and Function which I just recommend endlessly.

I've thought about this a bit. This concentration shift seems good for the economy in the short term but a massive loss for society as business increasingly becomes a chains or centralised. Especially in areas that are traditionally owner run like restaurants, pubs, vets, dentists, GP clinic, pharmacy, hardware etc. Capitalism is the best system but we too often forget a core tenant for govt to create a level playing field. We seem to have forgotten this and make it increasingly hard for small business which should be a significant driver of innovation and improvement.

I think some possible solutions would be to;

1) Significantly lower taxes for smaller businesses vs larger. Even better bring personal rate inline to company rates... but this would be a very difficult shift for governments.

2) Tax benefits for companies listed and actively traded, so companies are encouraged to list and share wealth/growth.

3) A 'not in the national interest' law for companies that continually pay little to no tax where you would expect them to. Have tax department give something like a 3 year warning they are on the 'consideration list' and if things dont change the tax office can make them sell, or if they prefer close. And then they remain on said list for a couple decades or so to verify. This, while being risky for overuse, would be an effective tool on the worst tax dodgers and wielded in a limited capacity quite useful for those that have high end tax strategists that keep getting around the rules.

4) Limit investment ownership in residential so people dont spend their life trying to buy a house. This will allow people to take some business risk and invest in their entrepreurship far more easily.

5) Put a low market cap limit on core local business like those mentioned above like vets, dentists, GP clinic, pharmacy. Or maybe a progressively sliding scale annual asset tax past a value/outlet of X. Something that limits how big these organisations can get.

6) Stop large consumer distributors selling their own brand product. Not sure how to word this exactly but places like Amazon or large supermarkets, they should be a retailer of other business goods only. Stop them sticking their own rip-off product next to the other.

Obviously a load more...
One small caveat: the "came out" date is irrelevant, the relevant date is the date an alternative appeared. In this case the real info is the replacement came out ~5 years ago (or ~4 depending on the definition).

He might have done "serious intellectual work" in a distant past, like his main book were he writes in details about his grandma pubes he saw in a dream, or when in his lecture at UoT were he compares an ancient depiction of two snakes to the twin helix of DNA, but for the past few years he's been rambling about the culture war and strangely defending the fossil fuel industry.
Regulate away; you can only really regulate stuff that's offered for sale. Ukraine is making its own drones, according to TFA. It can't be hard to make an airframe from bits of wood, and the motors are COTS. The controller chips are "cheap as chips", you can use and modify FOSS software, the only piece that I couldn't buy easily myself is HESH warheads.
This is the book I learned calculus from (a paperback copy) several years ago. Fairly enjoyable - but I've only found uses for calculus a handful of times as a developer sadly.
The processing capability of the drones is not that high. In the future we will likely have much higher autonomous capabilities in drones but we are not there today.

Because customers tend to almost universally agree that they create a worse service in the process. Scaled systems perform poorly in areas where people require customized service rather than a one-size-fits-all experience, and veterinary care is absolutely not a one-size-fits-all type of service.
Just so I understand, you're making the claim that you can put a child on puberty blockers / hormone treatments from age 10 to 17, and then you can take them off of it and they will resume their sex-at-birth biological development the same as their peers who didn't have hormone treatment, with no permanent effects? Is that right?

Hardly at all, video decoding isn't parallelisable. It's often lumped in with the GPU but it is significantly different.
I agree with everything you have said.

I'll just add that, with the path of finding VC well-known and well-worn, we should expect greater difficulty. Even if we somehow reversed the trend of all institutions and bureaucracies to become over time larger and more cumbersome, that is, we streamlined government processes, we should expect an additional hesitation of growing enterprises to return to IPO, because VC is now a comfortable path for a significant portion of the roadmap.
The cat is out of the bag. This will have no meaningful effect except to stop the lowest tier players.
RE 1: Customers have zero influence on this. If you have a pet, you'll need a vet, and if the owner of the owner-operated clinic next to you gets an offer they can't refuse... I can't imagine you'll find some other owner-operated clinic to visit out of spite, where the now-corporate one next to you is open, and perhaps even cheaper.

RE 2-5: These are all rounding errors compared to economies of scale the PE-backed companies have. Also, those PE roll-ups target businesses whose owners are at the stage of life when they're just happy to take a big payout and retire. Tax time advantages and spending some time with kids (which is arguably less than salaried employees of the corpo-clinic will have) can't possibly beat being able to not work at all anymore, live comfortably, and have all the time you want for kids.
The startup sound of Encarta Virtual Globe 98[0] brings me such fond memories :)

The "sum of outer products" interpretation (actually all these interpretations consist in choosing a nesting order for the nested loops that must be used for computing a matrix-matrix product, a.k.a. DGEMM or SGEMM in BLAS) is the most important interpretation for computing the matrix-matrix product with a computer.

The reason is that the outer product of 2 vectors is computed with a number of multiplications equal to the product of the numbers of elements of the 2 vectors, but with a number of memory reads equal to the sum of the numbers of elements of the 2 vectors.

This "outer product" is much better called the tensor product of 2 vectors, because the outer product as originally defined by Grassmann, and used in countless mathematical works with the Grassmann meaning, is a different quantity, which is related to what is frequently called the vector product of 2 vectors. Not even "tensor product" is correct historically. The correct term would be "Zehfuss product", but nowadays few people remember Zehfuss. The term "tensor" was originally applied only to symmetric matrices, where it made sense etymologically, but for an unknown reason Einstein has used it for general arrays and the popularity of the relativity theory after WWI has prompted many mathematicians to change their terminology, following the usage initiated by Einstein.

For long vectors, the product of 2 lengths is much bigger than their sum and the high ratio between the number of multiplications and the number of memory reads, when the result is kept in registers, allows reaching a throughput close to the maximum possible on modern CPUs.

Because the result must be kept in registers, the product of big matrices must be assembled from the products of small sub-matrices. For instance, supposing that the registers can hold 16 = 4 * 4 values, i.e. the tensor/outer product of 2 vectors of length 4, each tensor/outer product, which is an additive term in the computation of the matrix-matrix product of two 4x4 sub-matrices, can be computed with 4 * 4 = 16 fused multiply-add operations (the addition is used to sum the current tensor product with the previous tensor product), but only 4 + 4 = 8 memory reads.

On the other hand, if the matrix-matrix product were computed with scalar products of vector pairs, instead of tensor products of vector pairs, that would have required twice more memory reads than fused multiply-add operations, therefore it would have been much slower.
This is maybe not life changing, but I swapped about 10 years ago my office chair for a gym ball.

My back feels much better (I like to think that this is because of that). My coworkers are less happy because when I start bouncing during a video call they get sea sick :)
Regulatory capture in action. The real immediate risks of AI is in privacy, bias, data leakage, fraud, control of infrastructure/medical equipment etc. not manufacturing biological weapons. This seems like a classic example of government doing something that looks good to the public, satisfies incumbents and does practically nothing.

We're gonna need a RICO statute to go after these algos in the long run.
> They include requirements that the most advanced A.I. products be tested to assure that they cannot be used to produce biological or nuclear weapons

How is "AI" defined? Does this mean US nuclear weapons simulations will have to completely rely on hard methods, with absolutely no ML involved for some optimizations? What does it mean for things like AlphaFold?
I guess any sense. New things would be interesting to see people doing.

Or it could be things to make a better internet, which means things that people don't currently have in their hands.
For sure. But what do you think of the possibility that many people who are suffering from financial inequality may actually have quite a bit of free time? That's my sense at least looking at global screen time statistics not only in the US but in many poor countries.

I have also lived in poor countries, and can say from personal experience that it's a 1st world myth to believe that in poor countries everybody is exhausted from overworking. In many poor countries, people actually don't work all that much, and are poor as a result of a lack of opportunity. In these places, there is actually plenty of time, but no opportunity.

And the more technology develops, and jobs become available remotely, the more smart, ambitious people in these countries are able to rise above their circumstances. Of course they need to at least have enough money to have a computer and an internet connection, but these are becoming more accessible every year.

Don't get me wrong - it's highly unlikely some little kid from Kenya will build the next Facebook. It's much more than time and bandwidth. But it's a process, and I'd say we're headed in the right direction. Just go on UpWork and see how many people from developing countries are now making very decent wages.
That sounds incredible given how powerful the model is.

Thanks for everything. You shaped my youth :)
Good start. But if you are in or approaching WWIII, you will see military AI control systems as a priority, and be looking for radical new AI compute paradigms that push the speed, robustness, and efficiency of general purpose AI far beyond any human ability to keep up. This puts Taiwan even more in the hot seat. And aims for a dangerous level of reliance on hyperspeed AI.

I don't see any way to continue to have global security without resolving our differences with China. And I don't see any serious plans for doing that. Which leaves it to WWIII.
