I'm very adaptable nowadays. It's just that I think I know which things should work, but I'm not fighting society, particularly not on this.

The thing with giving the public what they want and being too much of a pragmatist is that we've seen it before.

Consider Western universities in the 17th century, they were still there churning out degrees, but modern science, mathematics and technology developed elsewhere.

I wonder how much of them finding it hard to say "I don't know" is RLHF pushing them to finish the prompt no matter what. With custom instructions asking the model to be more honest, I do get some reasonable follow on questions, and occasional admissions of lack of knowledge. Not perfect, but that it works at all is interesting.
The bullshitting in "writing" is one thing, but these things are indeed scary:

"The researchers showed that GTP-4 ADA “created a seemingly authentic database,” that supported the conclusion that one eye treatment was superior to another. In other words, it had created a fake dataset to support a preordained conclusion. This experiment raises the threat that large language models like GTP-4 ADA could be used to “fabricate data sets specifically designed to quickly produce false scientific evidence.” Which means that AI could be used to produce fake data to support whatever conclusion or product you want to promote."

Note also that faking data is not only about science. I'm pretty sure we're going to see fake datasets for fake market analyses, fake polling data for fake political campaigns, fake data from fake data breaches, etc., etc.
Given manufacturer’s trends of enabling the privacy feature of randomizing the MAC address every n minutes, it would take some serious effort and analysis to reverse these general trends into individuals. I’ve linked a relevant article in the bibliography about these kinds of attacks [1] but in general, at least with user numbers in the hundreds, it would be very difficult.

ope. :) I didn't recheck that number actually... I can't find the exact number listed anywhere... Watching a video of an AC-130, I see the ammunition rack has 7 shells across, and in another camera angle, there are at least 6 vertical rows, so the lower bound is 42 bangs. The rack isn't fully visible, so imagine there are a few more than that.

Still though, 42 bangs is a lot more than 8 bangs.

We shouldn’t forget BP’s Deepwater Horizon. We shouldn’t forget Exxon’s Valdez. We shouldn’t forget the Moningah disaster…I could go on for a while.
Maybe it's naive for me. Every time we talk about a simulation, we got an accurate model and we have some model validation to run our model. The next big question is, okay, what can we do with those models? If we can do CFD simulations, we can use that tools to build fast car, to build efficient SpaceX rocket to reduce the cost, but in terms of this cosmology galaxy formation, what can we do with this model?

One simple idea for me is to, okay, is there any significant difference from a large-scale model with at the galax scale and the model we have, let's say, simulating a von Karman vertices because both of them are showing very similar structure. Yes, that's an idea of comparison.
Without playing with one myself it would be hard to answer objectively, but I can imagine this being on the end of my MicroBrute+pedals chain to give me spatial feedback on how big a sound is. I use the brute for all kinds of stuff but it would be cool to see bass lines and how different knobs affect the sound.

It could be a really cool Winamp visualizer for a track though and if nothing else it's cool for that!
The biggest potential outcome of this trial is that the Google-Apple deal is deemed illegal and maybe that forces Apple to buy or build their own search engine. There is clearly no real competition in search, and just because Google’s stagnant product is currently the “best” doesn’t excuse the ways in which it continues to degrade in quality and become more user-hostile.
The novelty of chatgpt was instruction tuning of transformers using reinforcement learning with human feedback and finding right dataset as well as annotations for it. before this transformers were good for some tasks but not so good for generating text. Even though OpenAI didn’t invent transformers they did invent the technique needed to make chatgpt possible.
No one uses ROM anymore. Its all Flash RAM, which is denser, cheaper, lower-power in practice. And Flash is likely too slow in any case, so people will prefer DRAM.

What a headline!

> Google pays Apple Inc. 36% of the revenue it earns from search advertising made through the Safari browser

Very different story.
There's three things at play here -

First is humans are bad at grokking complex systems - simple rules applied at large scale can create enormously complex systems, and we're bad at predicting what those things are going to be.

The second is these systems are "self-tuned" - we explicitly designed the basic structure, but the interactions between different parts of the structure are derived, not created, and so we can't say exactly why those parameters are picked.

The final one is that they're simulating language, and we're a species constitutionally prone to anthropomorphizing - if something looks like it's acting with an intent we recognize, we assume it is. That's helpful in an evolutionary sense, but it means it's really easy to fool us into thinking something is sentient. We've been doing this to ourselves since Eliza.

The LLMs look impressive, but it takes very little time or effort to notice there's nobody home - not least of which is you need to keep feeding the model everything it's said before and if you tap out of the context window, it forgets. It's a very neat parlor trick, but there's nobody home there, at least not how they're currently constructed and run.

I think there's something being captured in how the models are created and trained, but at best, the run model does not allow for consciousness, because there's no continuity and no updating of the model over time.

Could it help if the driver have those axes assigned to a different key to allow AHK to pick that up and AHK can change it as axes? I done that with my XP-PEN AC-19, I assigned the dial wheel to different keys in XP-PEN software and AutoHotInterception with AHK to pick that up. Then assigned it with wheelup/down depending on what active window I am on.

It would absolutely be healthy for USA society if housing prices were deflated by 2-10x.

I don't care if my mortgage rate is 10% instead of 7% if the overall loan is a fraction of the size (i.e. $200k instead of $700k). Maybe I don't even need a mortgage.

> Why wouldn't I just declare it to be $1

You can but them someone will immediately offer to buy it and you would have to raise the declared value until they stopped trying to buy it (ie to the actual market value). Presumably you would also not be allowed to just immediately lower the declared value again after. Or maybe buyers can make "standing" offers that are valid for 1 year so you can't change the declared value while there is an outstanding offer for more than that.

> The whole point of the idea is that you're required to sell it for the listed price

I would phrase it differently. The point is create conditions such that the equilibrium declared value is aligned with the market value. And more generally, to try and ensure assets are allocated to their highest value uses.

However, I actually don't think this is a workable system for owner-occupied housing for all sorts of practical and political reasons. I brought it up in the context of patents because I think it does make sense for intangible, yet hard to value corporate assets like patents. Ideally you want patents and other IP to be owned by whoever can get the most value out of them.

Note that Sunday neurosis described in the article (perceived lack of purpose) is very different from the more common Sunday blues (another work week ahead...).

As for the latter, I remember that during the time when I had 4-day week (I work in an European country where parents of children up to certain age can ask for a reduction of their workload and their employer can't refuse it) the Sunday blues was practically nonexistent: I just had two days of work, then free Wednesday to ply with my daughter, and then two more work days that I really enjoyed.

Google is chump change to the global commercial RE market.

I’ve worked with/on dozen or so executive teams, public and private, bought sold RE and leased/renewed RE at most of them. Nobody cares about the landlords or the shareholders of those companies. It’s actually an adversarial relationship just like most tenant/landlord relationships. Each party is looking out for themself.

The math makes no difference when all you care about is yourself. The executives are wanting RTO because they feel like that’s what’s in their company’s best interest. I’m not buying into the grand conspiracy theory that’s floating around.

About the Role:

HPEC is looking for a highly-skilled Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to become a technical co-founder in order to lead HPEC’s vision to restore privacy and trust to the practice of medicine, and build the foundation for a peer to peer healthcare system of the future. We are growing a Decentralized Autonomous Organization of Physicians powered by open decentralized identity standards. We are currently pre-revenue in a $4.2T system. Our vision is to empower the physician community to do what they do best- free from third party interference. More about the company: https://www.hpec.io/ | https://www.evercred.com/

About our technology:

We have two applications, an evercred dashboard built in React and our HPEC mobile application both in production on the iOS and Google Play Stores.
Our back end is composed of distributed microservice architecture built in GoLang running on kubernetes (KOPS) in the AWS cloud. Our datastore is both NoSQL (DynamoDB) and PostgreSQL and ElasticSearch. We use Terraform for IaC, and GraphQL based api. We use React front end for both the evercred enterprise and internal HPEC operations dashboards. We use bitrise for automated release management, and Sentry, Amplitude, and Metabase for analytics and notifications.
We currently use the did:key and did:web protocol with the ability to integrate with other blockchains to eventually become blockchain agnostic. Current protocols we have explored include but not limited to deploying did:ion (bitcoin) did:near (near) did:tz (tezos,) did:polygon (polygon) did:dock and did:kilt (kusama / polkadot) etc... see list of others here: https://w3c.github.io/did-spec-registries/#did-methods
Our mobile app front end is built with React Native, in TypeScript and uses expo ejected modules. API calls include the GraphQL call to our back end and Onfido SDK for identity.
I read that story as well, and while the company does promise increases in efficiency, the whole thing seems like a very expensive way to do very little.

Based on light googling, a mature tree can capture about 50lbs of carbon a year [1]. Assuming a few hundred trees per acre [2] you could get, let's say, 5 tons per year in the steady/mature state. Small numbers, but it adds up. Leander, TX is a suburb of Austin that sprung up in the last 50 years. It's a useful measure for me as 1) I have some intuitive comprehension of the size (37.5 sq miles) and 2) it was an area slowly developed over the last 50 years. If it were reforested (you wouldn't want to do this because, you know, people live there), we might get 100kton of capture a year (guesstimating). Repeat that 170,000 times and we can get back to the net emissions of the year 2000 - a 17gigaton reduction per year.

Of course, that would require planting an area double the size of the United States.

Anyway, that's napkin math and I hope I'm off.

There is no such thing as a carbon neutral human. We're ~20% carbon by mass.

I do agree with your point about money though--economic activity is the primary cause of our excessive carbon footprint. We need to change how we practice money such that "number go up" type thinking correlates with progress toward agreeable goals instead of correlating with the consumption of nonrenewable resources.
This looks like it was written by generative AI but I can't really say for sure.

BTW: protein structure prediction didn't need supercomputers (in the traditional sense) and the PSP problem wasn't solved using supercomputers applying a high quality physics function to simulate folding- instead, it was solved using a combination of ML supercomputers, a really good algorithm (transformers), and a couple of really good data sets- the known structures of proteins, and the known relationship of proteins.

Instead of simulation on a huge supercomputer so they could predict a single strucfture, they trained a model which approximates structure well enough to beat every competitor. From what I can tell, most of the resulting quality doesn't come from their force field but from the distance constraints that are mostly derived from historical relationships between proteins, and the coevolution of their sequences.

At the end of my day at one of the post houses I was at around this time, I had to ensure all of the monitors were off. I could do it in the dark just by listening for this noise and know if any where on or not. Some of the reference monitors were never turned off though, and I had to ensure they had the correct signal routed to them to avoid burn-in.
I don't think users understand how LLMs are different are different from search engines, especially for information retrieval. Someone I know well has been using ChatGPT and Bard for months, and was surprised that they don't just use the Bing/Google search engine indexes behind the scenes. The idea that LLMs are a bunch of frozen matrices is not obvious.

It's hard to communicate that it's better to rely on LLMs for some classes of "reasoning" or language tasks vs simple information retrieval, particularly given retrieval does work well much of the time.
