You’re probably right because people usually don’t have an appetite for risk, but OpenAI is still a startup, and one does not join a startup without an appetite for risk. At least before ChatGPT made the company famous, which was recent.

Microsoft already has the models and weights, not the tech
I agree. Anthropic and Mistral are good examples. Both companies have key people from OpenAI and they fairly quickly developed good models, but I don’t think either are thinking too hard about real AGI, but instead are trying to create useful and ethical tools.
There is no side-channel because FHE effectively considers the computational hardware itself to be the adversary.
There is no way to conflate them. They are the same, they both have to do with the human body and its needs. It doesn't matter if you have one article about weed wacking that says some things about grass, and another article about mowing that also says things about grass. If one wanted to know about grass, it's reasonable to assume you would aggregate the knowledge from both weed wacking and mowing sources so as to have the most complete picture of grass.

Same here, we don't have a lot of studies on this whole cutting a head off and keeping it alive. The closest two things we have are artificial hearts/lvads, and CPB pumps. It's reasonable for us to take those knowledge bases and like with the grass, learn the most from what we have.

You are right, those processes are different and as such have different time frames and clinical implications.

Another interesting point of note. Every artificial heart that is still implanted (Syncardia, Carmet), is about to start to ve implanted (Swedish realheart, bivacor) or has been implanted (abiocor, jarvik 7 which is now the syncardia, etc) were/are all fully pulsatile.

There is one case where Cohn and Frazier implanted a truly hand made bubble gum and duct tape pump made from 2 heartmate ii lvads fiberglassed together, that wasn't pulsatile but the patient was never expected to live long and it was really something they shouldn't have done.

Safety for AI is like making safe bullets or safe swords or safe shotguns.

The reason why there's so much emphasis on this is liability. That's it. Otherwise there's really no point.

It's the psychological aspect of blame that influences the liability. If I wanted to make a dirty bomb it's harder to blame google for it if I found the results through google, easier to blame AI for it if I found the results from an LLM. Mainly because the data was transferred from the servers directly to me when it's an LLM. But the logical route of getting that information is essentially the same.

So because of this companies like Meta (who really don't give a shit) spend so much time emphasizing on this safety bs. Now I'm not denigrating meta for not giving a shit, because I don't give a shit either.

Kitchen knives can kill people folks. Nothing can stop it. And I don't give a shit about people designing safety into kitchen knives anymore than I give a shit about people designing safety into AI. Pointless.

Yes... but my point is that this doesn't preclude them taking a couple of days to figure it out, let stakeholders know, avoid making a particularly dumb public statement, changing their mind because everyone is going to quit, etc.

Wow.
> instead of ever being able to know through the type system that you have a meaningful value.

That's... not what I'm looking for out of my type system. I'm mostly looking for autocomplete and possibly better perf because the compiler has size information. I really hate having to be a type astronaut when I work in scala.

So, I mean, valid point. And I do cede that point. But it's kind of like telling me that my car doesn't have a bowling alley.

Nice!!! That's mean more people will switch to Firefox, MS Edge and Safari and Google will pay additional 30+ billions to all those companies to make Google default search engine there. Google already pays Apple 18+ billions to make Google the default search engine on iPhones.

Does Sam have a fundamental background in these technologies? Another framing of this situation is we've got, on one hand, a Silicon Valley CEO (with crypto tendencies), and on the other hand, the scientists.

> The men he was chasing were armed and dangerous. How might you have reacted to the theft of a replaceable boat when capturing the thieves was so time-consuming and dangerous?

This might sound a bit self-helpy but I've found one of the best indicators of a great people is their passion for caring about things most other people wouldn't bother to put effort into and then turning that basic caring into something bigger and interesting. Like how this turn into one of his many legendary life stories.

Most of us have a capacity for a few things to care about but some people have an ability/energy to cast that broadly. The small details add up in life and it's what communities (and businesses) are built off of. Basically a dedication to principles and making the world you want to see not just consuming it.
Things like vibration and Pogo oscillation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo_oscillation). All the engines collectively have about twice the thrust of a Saturn S-IC first stage (on the Saturn V rocket) and they're all going to be trying to shake the crap out of each other just due to thrust oscillations. If they hit a resonant frequency of the rocket it could shake the rocket apart. So, you can have 33 engines that all individually ignite properly on the pad and are all well-built to tolerances so that they function, but when you put the whole vehicle together and have all 33 of them pushing against the same airframe they could spectacularly fail.
That’s always a tough way for a relationship to end.

The Mona Lisa, of course, was completed in France.

In terms of French art, the hall of 19th century French paintings is impressive, and interesting as you can clearly see which paintings are in the guidebook as "must see"- there is usually a huge crowd around Liberty Leading the People (the painting you mention), a somewhat smaller one around The Raft of the Medusa, and paintings like the huge and spectacular Coronation of Napoleon on the opposite wall or the powerful The Lictors Bring Brutus the Bodies of his Sons further along are essentially ignored.

I suppose that I had and have in mind a certain type of feature film director (usually the good ones) that are involved in all things: pre- and post-production, writing the script, directing, the editing process, etc.

Your original comment mentioned auteurs, which is what influenced the type of film director I was thinking of, which often are also producers and even writers and editors on their own films. To my knowledge, I am not aware of any famous CEOs that fit the style and breadth of these directors, as the CEO is almost never actually doing anything nor even knowledgeable in the things they're tasking others to do.

So to summarize, I feel there are auteur directors but not CEOs, despite many thinking there are auteur CEOs. If there are, they are certainly none of the famous ones and are likely running smaller companies. I generally think of CEOs as completely replaceable, and usually the only reason one stands out is that they don't run the business into the ground or have a cult of personality surrounding them. If you take away an auteur director from their project, it will never materialize into anything remotely close to what was to be.
Your comment was "Google could execute if not for <thing extremely specific to this particular field>". Given Google's recent track record I think any kind of specific problem like that is at most a symptom; their dysfunction runs a lot deeper.
I've been reading up on MMT recently, and I haven't seen adherents (e.g. Mosler) claim that inflation is good. They do provide a heterodox account of how government spending leads to inflation, a sectoral one that focuses on demand from the public sector outbidding the private sector in areas were the economy is already at or near productive capacity. And they claim the traditional examples of hyperinflation e.g. Weimar are adequately explained by supply-side constraints. They also explain why austerity has been such an abject failure over the last 13 years in the UK.
It means that by forcing Apple to allow sideloading, there will be app makers who won’t publish their apps to the store. As a result, people who must use such an app will be forced to sideload it without the option to use the safer download from the App Store.
They're totally free to configure their servers to return HTTP 402 Payment Required instead of a free web page. They keep sending us free stuff loaded with ads instead. Only have themselves to blame. Nobody's actually obligated to "pay" by looking at that junk.
I didn't said that we should remove default values, that is a wrong interpretation of my message.

For example we could have a new non-nilable pointer type (that would not have any default value), or an optional monad natively in the language (or any other thing in-between, there are many possibilities). That would allow the compiler to statically report about missing checks, without breaking backward compatibility.

But we all know that it's not going to happen soon because while not breaking any existing code, it goes against the "everything has a zero-value" dogma. That was the meaning of my message.
What are they then? Have I missed something?
I just did. Let's start with acknowledging that. If you want more, then how about asking that way. Otherwise, one gets the impression that you're not really asking because you're uncertain but rather because it is easy to do so with very little effort (and just as easy to respond to whatever other examples you get with a declaration that none of them are actually any sort of problem).
I don't understand why not just use a motion sensor, and turn the nearest 10 or so lights where the motion sensor was activated for a few minutes.

This absolutely is not true. Vegetables are some of the cheapest things you can eat. Certainly cheaper than dairy and meat, which is heavily subsidized.

https://thebeet.com/is-it-expensive-to-be-plant-based-quite-....

You can just google this, or, you know - try it.

The vegetarian stuff that costs a lot is:

- If you shop at WholeFoods, but their prices are insane anyway

- If you only eat Organic AND are picky about what you eat if you're ONLY ORGANIC. Organic has HUGE price swings, so if you're only organic you need to swap out what you want to eat, if you care about cost.

- Meat substitutes - which can be good, but don't fit your bill generally - they are often heavily processed.

Yes, it takes a GOOD amount more effort. You have to literally eat more, yes. That means you have to cook more. If you are cooking, the cooking is often more involved. Of course. But you also don't have to go full veggie either.
Yep. PayPal was originally a lot like venmo (conceptually -- of course we didn't have phone apps then). It was a way for people to send each other money online.

They are a small board, and Microsoft has a very large number of lawyers.

I do not believe it is possible for them to have thought this through. I believe they'll have read the governing documents, and even had some good lawyers read them, but no governance structure is totally unambiguous.

Something I'm immensely curious about is whether they even considered that their opposition might look for ways to make them _criminally_ liable.
Spenders happier with their lives, survey reveals
USB-B is also alive and well in areas like audio production.
I just want at least 1 of both. For at least the next 10 years. I will still have USB-A peripherals I use daily to weekly until then. I would've paid $100+ extra for a USB-A port on this macbook.
Some of this code is older, before I was more serious about this specific code, and moving to type annotations has been pretty much the big project of the year for me for everything personal, among other "Eliminate everything hacky" projects, going back into 10yo code and cleaning up tons of stuff.

My bigger priority has been moving from Mako to Jinja2, especially for some particularly horrid templates that could not be highlighted or formatted because there's not many good Mako tools, JSON schema validation, but I definitely agree type annotations are critical.

VS Code is smart enough to catch a lot of stuff sans annotations though, so you can get by with a lot of nonsense, especially when half your time is just fighting GStreamer and you're not paying as much attention to the python side.

There's nothing better than GST that I've ever seen for dealing with media without actually having to touch the performance critical stuff in your own code, but it is not easy to debug stuff buried in autogenerated python bindings to C code, especially with an extra RPC layer to use a background process and defend against segfaults.

There's also lots of other weird stuff, like imports not at the top of the file, meant to support systems where some module wasn't available, and generally all kinds of cleanup that's slowly happening.
I guess if you're a Longtermist, killing a 100 people on a flight to Mars is nothing if you save the human race.
> With USB-A, I pretty much expect to break the cable first.

It might seem that way, but the port supposedly breaks more easily than the cable in USB-A, since the A port contains springs (which will eventually get worn out and can be bent).

Anecdotally, I've seen tons of broken A ports with exactly that failure in airplanes, buses, and other places with public USB charging ports that people don't treat particularly nicely.

The leverage of C plugs does seem scary, but I have yet to encounter a broken port – fingers crossed!
I don't think I've ever completed a training course on time, only after getting "urgent: 7 days to complete".

I've got severe ADHD so these types of assessments are near impossible due to the slow dialogue and forced wait time. Though most of these courses give you multiple (or unlimited) attempts, so I'll screenshot each slide + wrong answers and brute force until I'm done. At least I can get other stuff done in the meantime.

Mitigating risk is covered in the cost reduction side.

Yes the C-Suite is thinking about and mitigating risk. They probably know the exact number for a given class of risk in terms of current mitigation costs. You have to beat that by a margin wide enough for them to take action.

Even if you know their numbers and know you beat it by enough to warrant the deployment you will still get bumped if someone sells them a path to increasing revenue.

The out I gave was to frame it as value added (more revenue) and that is where you risk devaluing your current product.

If you frame it as cost reduction you are capped in both price and interest by the current, necessarily acceptable, levels of risk and cost of mitigations.
Granted there's a paucity of public info, but taking news stories at face value, they gave Altman the boot for recklessly chasing growth.

So the rumor that OpenAI will cave and bring back Altman worries me a bit.

AI probably will be, at a minimum, as world-changing as the automobile or telephone, so God help us all if the company behind it operates like Facebook or Google.
It's more like making safe nukes. One person can do a lot more damage with AI than they can with a gun.

A C-to-A adapter came with my laptop dock, but I have never thought of this
If this is true, then the MTBF design parameter is unacceptably low.
At introduction there were billions of USB A peripherals and few users with USB C ports. The only sane thing for peripherals to do is ship USB A not wanting to cut out 99% of the market and the only sane thing given that for PCs to do is ship mostly USB A ports. So we start with an obvious optimal choice on all parties parts right now how do we break out of a trivial equilibrium into a mostly USB C universe?

If a PC ships with mostly USB C ports. Well since the majority of accessories are A users are going to be frustrated when they need adapters/a hub to plug in anything because they don't have enough of the ports accessories actually use.

If accessories shift first then users are going to be frustrated when they need adapters or a hub to have enough ports to plug in their accessories.

Remember that the average user keeps a computer for 6 years and they keep accessories longer often throwing things out when they literally stop working or can't be made to work with their new device.

Furthermore even a slight increase in costs is problematic when you margins are fairly razor thing. It's a really hard sell for anyone to move forward.

Apple has a substantial advantage here wherein they have enough good will from their users, enough margin, and enough sway to simply upgrade and tell their users to buy adapters while neither losing profit nor users.

That being said being A is hardly a middle finger for the vast majority of devices which need neither more power/more speed than usb 3.2 2x1 can provide as we are talking about 10Gbps and 15W. The most common accessories are mouse,keyboard,sound,cameras,small storage, less commonly network adapters

We haven't yet found a compelling case for a beefy connection but surely there is right.

High end video capture, high end storage, displays, hubs that serve many fast devices, 10Gbps Ethernet.

None as common as the previously listed and not fun to get working when not every port supports high power, higher speed, or optional features nor every cord. Using such features feels like the plug and pray of the early 90s whereas plugging in a DisplayPort monitor or a standard stereo jack speaker system is as boring as plugging in a toaster.
