The timely action and effective communication save Jason's life, allowing them to survive this otherwise fatal situation.
Jason survived.
It is one of many decisions like that. The other were the decision to match up original poem length - the translation was supposed to be line for line. And also have each line to have consistent rhythm (iambic pentameter) so that poem sounds. The argument was both of these decisions was that the original poem sounded well too and people were repeated it to each other because it sounded well and they liked it.

This has consequences - the translation is shorter then some other translations, because she cant just pile multiple adjectives in a long sentence to describe one word in the original. It also sounds good, because long descriptions of something that was short in original do change how passages come across to the reader. What was originally quick and fun becomes descriptive and slow.

Likewise, do you translate it into contemporary English or archaic one? Old texts are sometimes intentionally translated into archaic language, so that you feel like reading something old. But, when they created it originally, they used their own contemporary language and made it sound pleasant to themselves. So, do you pick old words or new words for the same thing?

Personally, I found it interesting to read about these dilemmas and about thought process itself. You may agree or disagree with the choices, but the intro made the choices more transparent.

If Canada surprise attacked your hometown and killed your entire family would you have empathy when the United States declared all civilians must clear out of Montreal before a retaliatory strike takes place? It’s amazing how the slaughter of innocents is justified because they were being oppressed. If the Japanese in internment camps massacred the nearby town would you have empathy for them then when they were punished or would you say well look at what the US did! It put them in camps. They had no choice.

Prices have been creeping up (and Netflix is the worst offender). But, if you can live without live TV and can do without that one show on such and such a service, it's still a pretty good deal relative to the cable TV bundle especially if you also had one or two premium stations/streaming services like HBO.

If the rumors are correct and ideological disagreement was at the core of this, OpenAI is not going to be open anyway, as Sutskever wants more safety, which implies being as closed as possible. Whether it's "public good" is in the eye of the beholder, as there are multiple mutually incompatible concerns about AI safety, all of which have merit. The future balance between those will be determined by unpredictable events, as always.

I do think Jobs' engineering skill is oversold, but he was also more than just marketing. He had a vision for how technology should integrate with people's lives that drove great ergonomic and UX choices with a kind of polish that was lacking everywhere else. Those alone revolutionized personal computing in many ways. It's hard for younger people to even imagine how difficult it was to get connected to the internet at one point, and iMacs made it easy.
I guess I struggle to see how the word "open" can be applied to that, but I also remember how that word was tossed around in the late 80s and early 90s during the Unix wars, and, yeah, shoe fits.

The question is how we got to be so powerless as a society that this is the only palette of choices we get to choose from: technocratic semi-autistic engineer-intellects who want to hoist AGI on the world vs self-obsessed tech bro salesdudes who see themselves as modern day Howard Roarks.

That's it.

The aim of lossy compression is to discard any data that isn't discernible to the human auditory system.

If an audio signal survives a lossy compression algorithm, then there are two possibilities:

- the compression algorithm should be improved, as it preserves some data that isn't important to the human ear

- the signal is audible
The first-gen magic trackpad is even worse. It sits so close to a USB port, it's on the same spot on my desk 99.999% of the time, it has no valid reason to be wireless, yet it needs 2 AA batteries just because. Charging and swapping them is cumbersome and it always dies when you least expect it. Bluetooth is finicky too at times. I was looking forward to a USB-C magic mouse to replace it yet it didn't come.
I don't think that also humans in general have this concept of "best".

But humans are able to build certain routines within their own system to help them to rationalize.
I think the problem is, this is not just about dumping the CEO. It’s signalling a very clear shift away from where OpenAI was heading - which seemed to be very focussed on letting people build on top of the technology.

The worry now is that the approach is going to be more of controlling access to just researchers who are trusted to be “safe”.
That’s not it really. The women on the board specifically happen to have next to no qualifications to be on a board of this stature.

Go is a simple language that anyone can pick up in a weekend, but productivity plateaus once you’re doing anything that requires hard constraints or complex systems (the same is true for JS, Python, and other scripting languages).

> the model doesn't have a functionality to retrospectively analyse its own output; it doesn't track or count words as it generates text. it's always in the mode of 'what comes next?' rather than 'what have i written?'

Humans doesn't do that either. The reason humans can solve this problem is that humans can generate such strategies on the fly and thus solve general problems, that is the bar for AGI, as long as you say it is unfair to give such problems to the model we know that we aren't talking about an AGI.

Making a new AI that is specialized in solving this specific problem by changing the input representation still isn't an AGI, it will have many similar tasks that it will fail at.

> also, again, tired of explaining this to people: gpt models are token-based. they operate at the level of tokens - which can be whole words or parts of words - and not individual characters. this token-based approach means the model's primary concern is predicting the most probable next token, not keeping track of the position of each token in the sequence, and the smallest resolution available to it is not a character. this is why it can't tell you what the nth letter of a word is either.

And humans are a pixel based model, we operate on pixels and physical outputs. Yet we humans do generate all the necessary context, and adapts it to the task at hand to solve arbitrary problem. Such context and inputs manipulations are expected of an AGI. Maybe not the entire way from pixels and 3d mechanical movement, but there are many steps in between there that humans can easily adapt in. For example humans didn't evolve to read and write text, yet we do that easily even though we operate on a pixel level.

If you ask me to count letters my mind focuses on the letter representation I created in my head. If you talk about words I focus on the word representation. If you talk about holes I focus on the pixel representation and start to identify color parts. If you talk about sounds I focus on the vocal representation of the words since I can transform to that as well.

We would expect an AGI to make similar translations when needed, from the token space you talk about to the letter space or word space etc. That ChatGPT and similar can't do this just means they aren't even close to AGI currently.

Not sure what you mean about other languages. At the time (as a snotty undergrad) I thought what I was doing was exciting and important, but I can't say for sure that it would have turned into anything interesting. The OO stuff worked ok but the amount of user functionality that I got working wasn't that great.

>No, that's a reaction to the employer trying to circumvent the strike. It's an attempt to ensure that the strike is effective, and wouldn't normally happen.

>(also, the sympathy strikers object to the hiring of other people _to do the strikers' tasks _, not hiring in general.)

A mafioso could tell you "We broke his legs to ensure that people stay quiet. It wouldn't normally happen. It's fine for him to talk to the cops. Just don't talk to the cops about us."

>If you don't, there will be a race to the bottom and people won't have a liveable wage.

People looking for jobs will prefer to accept a job that has a higher wage. So you could just as easily argue that there will be a race to the top, as businesses compete over workers until businesses can no longer make a profit.

The US economy has fewer unions than the Swedish economy, yet its median income is around 30% higher: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-median-income?tab=t...

People in this thread are comparing Norway to Sweden. One way of interpreting the median income data I linked is, if Sweden adopted the sort of capitalist approach you see in the US or Switzerland, the increased economic dynamism would be the equivalent of discovering $1.5 trillion in oil wealth, from the perspective of the median worker.

I suggest reading up on basic microeconomics until you can explain concepts like "supply curve" or "demand curve". This book teaches you the approximate contents of an undergrad micro class in a way that's fun and entertaining: https://www.amazon.com/Cartoon-Introduction-Economics-I-Micr... Then you'll have an idea of why the "race to the bottom" and "race to the top" scenarios aren't actually happening.

This is a false dichotomy. One does not imply the other.

Go is also not a simple language. It is deceptively difficult with _many_ footguns that could have easily been avoided had it not ignored decades of basic programming language design.

I'm not sure if that was the best example to showcase NilAway. I understand there's a lot of context omitted to focus on NilAway's impact, but why is foo returning a channel to bar if bar is just going to block on it anyway? Why not just return a *U? If foo's function signature was func foo() (*U, error) {}, this wouldn't be a problem to begin with.
Are quant firms positive sum for society? I can imagine that some trading leads to goods being priced more efficiently or w/e but I doubt the level of alpha these firms are chasing has positive externalities. If not, you should shouldn't really care about this hurting their industry.
I mostly agree with you on this. That being said, I've never gotten the impression Ron is the type of VC you're referring to. He's definitely founder-friendly (that's basically his core tenant), but I've never found him to be the type of VC who is ruthless about cost-cutting or an advocate for layoffs. (And I say this as someone who tends to be particularly wary of investors)

As most likely lots of cryptographers read this, I have a question. What's an efficient way to store encrypted data in a database (only specific table columns) and decrypt them on the fly while querying the data? Using postgres with pgp_sym_encrypt(data, key) seems very slow.
Very inefficient. Like wildly so. Specifically if you have a very small database and you preprocess it with their techniques, the resulting database is petabytes in size. But the results are very beautiful.

There are no obvious ways to improve on this work, so it is not a matter of engineering. We really do need another breakthrough result to get us closer to practicality.
Lawsuit is common.

Well I'm not one of those "younger people" though not sure if you were aiming that at me or not.

I think it's important to point out that Jobs could recognize nice UX choices, but he couldn't author them. He helped prune the branches of the bonsai tree, but couldn't grow it. On that he leaned on intellects far greater than his own, which he was pretty good at recognizing and cultivating. Though in fact he alienated and pushed away just as many as he cultivated.

I think we could do better as an industry than going around looking for more of that.
> most people are simply not psychopaths

This. It's not like Emmanuel Macron and the President of Singapore, who have been critical of Israel's actions here (mostly the former), are weird radical lefties, for example. They just recognize the killing of Palestinian civilians for what it is: revenge and retaliation, and a deliberate violation of the kinds of human rights that don't really "exist" unless countries make some attempt at respecting them.

Most people, if being honest, and if the victims weren't Palestinian, would recognize that a military action that is basically along the lines of "for every one of our people they killed, we will kill 10 or 20, and won't care if they are old, young, woman, child, and anyone who rejects this is a terrorist sympathizer and wanted our people to be killed", is simply logically and morally unhinged. And if the victims weren't Palestinian and mostly Muslim, and if Hamas wasn't an Islamic extremist organization, people would be less susceptible to the gaslighting about how anyone who is against the killing of Palestinian civilians is "pro-Hamas"
Basically it formed a fuzzy idea of a algebra using different fractals as entities.

I'm sure this can be mapped out further into very concrete detail. It's a highly realistic idea. we have algebras for all kinds of things from complex numbers to lists.

Choosing the triangle for identity is probably the wrong choice though. The identity fractal should be zero dimensional or nothing. I think that will in actuality end up fitting the rules of the identity fractal if we ever decided to map out this algebra.

If you're not familiar with abstract algebra basically it's choosing some fractal that's equivalent to a zero value and coming up with ways to combine fractals with operations that hold the same properties of associativity and commutativity that multiplication/addition does for numbers.

Think about watermarks in images. They can be removed, but it isn't easy to do so without making it obvious that the image is damaged / doctored.

My observation is that when it comes to this particular translation, people come out of their way to get offended on behalf of main characters over completely minor decisions.

For the record, overall they come across very well. They are interesting. They make sense. They act consistent with situations they are in. They do not get criticized or insulted, nothing like that. But there is this weird assumption from some people that if they do not come like totally perfect alpha heroes in every single subtle situation, it is an ideological agenda against the guys.

> There's no antitrust front on the MV2 to MV3 transition. You're imagining something that doesn't exist.

My understanding is that there is a widespread perception that the transition is largely being executed to neuter adblockers since Google makes so much money on ads. Given how aggressive the federal antitrust authorities have been in pursuing novel claims, I could easily see them going after Google if they prevent users from accessing MV2 extensions at all.

And of course the light itself is also undergoing multipath distortions like the radio signal. And for astronomy, the changing atmosphere might be the most important secondary reflection. And the multipath arrangement between emitter and observer is different for each pair.
