You can either use 14/833 crew positions (individuals flew more than once), or 14/355 actual people who ever flew on the shuttle. You could also use 2/135 missions. I suppose an argument could be made for 2/269 as well if you want to count launch and reentry as separate risk events.

claim seems dubious to me

Is he explaining somewhere why it is worse than virology scientists publishing research?

Or is he proposing to ban virology as a field?

Also, if AI can actually synthesize knowledge at expert level - then we have far larger problems than this anyway.
> LLMs fundamentally have no self-knowledge

ChatGPT can tell me about itself when prompted. It tells me that it is an LLM. It can tell me about capabilities and limitations. It can describe the algorithms that generate itself. It has deep self knowledge, but is not conscious.
This is the problem with people: they build icons to worship and turn a blind eye to the crooked side of that icon. Both Jobs and Altman are significant as businessmen and have accomplished a lot, but neither did squat for the technical part of the business. Right now, Altman is irrelevant for the further development of AI and GPT in particular because the vision for the AI future comes from the engineers and scientists of OpenAI. Apple has never had any equipment that is good enough and comparable in price/performance to its market counterparts. The usability of iOS is so horrible that I just can't understand how people decide to use iPhones and eat glass for the sake of the brand. GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo are totally different. They are the best, but they are not irreplaceable. If you look at what Phind did to LLaMA-2, you'll say it is very competitive. Though LLaMA-2 requires some additional hidden layers to further close the gap. Making LLaMA-2 175B or larger is just a matter of finances.
That said, Altman is not vital for OpenAI anymore. Preventing Altman from creating a dystopian future is a much more responsible task that OpenAI can undertake.
I spent my birthday with a bunch of mates in the Szechenyi Bath as we were travelling around Europe about 15-20 years ago - December with snow falling, playing chess in the outdoor pool with the old fellas. Just a standout memory and a great day
A while ago even after they've made HB pipeline 10-bit a lot of the filters still remained 8-bit, thus it was easy unknowingly degrade the encoding experience by picking the wrong filter. Think now most (all?) filters are 10-bit capable
HB also had inferior AAC codec in the released version due to FDK-AAC licensing preventing it from being bundled (though might not be an issue now as I've heard the codec isn't that inferior anymore)

Are there any big gotchas with the current version of this nice app?
Not a chance, 13 years of the tories have seen to that. They shredded local authority finances early on and as a result a lot of the services have been closed as they still limit the tax raising powers of local govt - local authorities were and are heavily reliant on grants from central govt. This is one of the biggest weaknesses of the UK: it's a complex country of 60+ million people governed almost entirely from a few blocks in London.

OpenAI powers a few features for Microsoft but it hardly moves the needle.

The partnership is useful for making it look exciting and relevant which helps with attracting talent i.e. it's largely branding/marketing.

So it's very much a once sided relationship in terms of dependency.
That is by design. My point is that "social state" does not exist for the benefit of the poor. Poor are just fodder. It exists to prevent middle class, through income taxation, from accumulating wealth and becoming rich and thus getting to be a competition to entrenched existing rich who are heirs of the people who became rich before social state came into existence.

America has enormous inequality but the society is fluid and vast majority of rich are first-generation rich and a good (but not too big) chunk of them even come from poor families. Europe has little inequality comparatively but on a flip side, it effectively has a caste system. Only people who break through it are foreigners who already arrived with cash.

No, I'm not. The connector side of micro-USB is usually the failure point. I had mini-USB receptacles fail at an extremely high rate back when I was building and selling mini-USB 2.5 inch external hard drive enclosures back in high school. Micro-USB wasn't even invented until 2007.

I do block ads as an act of civil disobedience. I also pay for services, when I consider it to be appropriate. The problems with the ad industry run much deeper than ads merely being annoying to look at.

It is bad that anyone is ever subjected to ads.

We're talking about this right now on a web service given to us as an act of charity (modulo the occasional sponsored job listing), and I'd like more of the web to be like that. Refusing to participate in the ad revenue model makes sites like this more likely to arise.
You’re definitely correct that her CV doesn’t adequately capture her reputation. I’ll put it this way, I meet with a lot of powerful people and I was equally nervous when I met with her as when I met with three officers of the US Air Force. She holds comparable influence to a USAF Colonel.

She is extremely knowledgeable about the details of all the ways that AI can cause catastrophe and also she’s one of the few people with the ear of the top leaders in the DoD (similar to Eric Schmidt in this regard).

Basically, she’s one of a very small number of people who are credibly reducing the chances that AI could cause a war.

Any kind of inappropriateness or sexual activity is usually both forbidden and frowned upon in textile-free spas - even staring is considered extremely rude. That said, sure those things happen, but by any means are they not representative nor to be expected.

And then you have smplayer (Multiplatform) and mpc-hc as a good balance between usability and features.

I might write some UI for mplayer/mpv on Motif some day, is not rocket science, you basically talk to both with sockets and sending commands. Kinda like mpc/mpd.

The difference between us, is I don't give a shit either. I agree with metas hidden stance on this.

Twee gamification.

At the start of that (2016, and indeed before as the streak didn't begin with me signing up), the gamification wasn't actively getting in the way. At some point in or around late 2019 or early 2020, it became faster to quit the app and restart it than to wait for the end of lesson congratulations screen to finish, I felt insulted by the childish animations (and that the only way to switch them off on iOS was a system-wide accessibility feature which merely reduced them!), and when the transition from tree to path happened I had to motivate myself with the goal of the round number streak length just to get past what had become for me an actively demotivating experience.

I moved to Berlin in late 2018 with the intention of it being permanent, so German skills aren't optional for me.
It's transport encrypted but not e2e without extensions.

Will be interesting to see if Apple implements Android's e2e crypto in RCS (would it need cooperation from Google?).
I once bent the USB-C connector on a dell dock just because the cable is stiff and the bend from going below my desk put too much force on the connector. It still works, but has an angle now. If the cable wasn't permanently attached, having the wear parts on that side would be fine. The EU should definitely mandate that, I don't see any technical reasons for soldering one side of the cable.
MS can live without GPT models, being just less competitive. Meanwhile, OpenAI will quickly go bankrupt without Microsoft's financial support and infrastructure.
It works for things you can automate. For example, at Microsoft they have some kind of dependency bot such as when you have newtonsoft installed but have version < 13.0.1 and don't upgrade within such and such time frame, your M1 gets dinged. This is a very simple fix that takes like five minutes of work if that.

But I don't know if things are straight forward with machine learning.
If the recommendations are blanket,

That thread is simply unhinged. There is no terrorist with a wet lab who outright refuses to read papers and instead relies on a chatbot to work with dangerous agents.
> You understand the concept of true vs false.

> LLM does not, that isn't how it works.

GPT-4 can explain the concept when prompted and can evaluate logic problems better than most human beings can. I would say it has a deeper understanding of "true vs false" than most humans.

I think what you are trying to say is that LLMs are not conscious. Consciousness has no precise universally agreed formal definition, but we all know that LLMs are not conscious.
Did you read the article? All the tools are off-the-shelf OSS projects that already exists.
That was sarcasm; the joke was that he has no shares, and thus if he were to “go off” the board should come after him for all his shares.

Basically, he was saying he had very little to lose by going public with his story.
Sutskever built the models behind GPT4, if I reckon correctly (all credit to the team, but he's the focal point behind expanding on Google transformers). I don't see Sam and Greg working with him under the same roof after this fiasco, since he voted them out (he could have been the tiemaker vote).
There aren't really any big exploits anymore that one can target en masse. Most of the exploits that do pop up require not only extremely specific targeting, but also pretty hardcore engineering to actually to stuff with the exploit. To get from something like a double free to a shell isn't exactly straightforward (and in some cases, not even possible).

Ironically enough, even though they are still VERY rare, I believe that fully remote exploits for Apple pop up at a higher frequency, because of how intricately their apps tie into the OS of the phone for performance reasons. Over the years, I seem to remember reading more about them on Project Zero than
It sounds awesome for remote dwelling security. Don't bother with rabbits and foxes, turn on the lights and play "you are trespassing turn back now" for unexpected guests.

No it isn’t, because we’re talking about apps.

And regarding the browser ;-), without WebKit, it will probably take Mozilla a decade before they make an iOS engine that doesn’t try to melt your phone (remember how long it took for Firefox on the Mac to not make your fans spin up)
> people who still have a use for type A

Isn't this basically everyone?

I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen something that plugs into type C and it's not either a phone charger or a type A adapter.
There is no putting the cat back in the bag. The only defense against AI at this point is more powerful AI, and we just have to hope that:

1.) there is an equilibrium that can be reached

2.) the journey to and stabilizing at said equilibrium is compatible with human life

I have a feeling that the swings of AI stabilizing among adversarial agents is going to happen at a scale of destruction that is very taxing on our civilizations.

Think of it this way, every time there's a murder suicide or a mass shooting type thing, I basically write that off as "this individual is doing as much damage as they possibly could, with whatever they could reasonably get their hands on to do so." When you start getting some of these agents unlocked and accessible to these people, eventually you're going to start having people with no regard for the consequences requesting that their agents do things like try to knock out transformer stations and parts of the power grid; things of this nature. And the amount of mission critical things on unsecured networks, or using outdated cryptography, etc, all basically sitting there waiting, is staggering.

For a human to even be able to probe this space means that they have to be pretty competent and are probably less nihilistic, detached, and destructive than your typical shooter type. Meanwhile, you get a reasonable agent in the hands of a shooter type, and they can be any midwit looking to wreak havoc on their way out.

So I suspect we'll have a few of these incidents, and then the white hat adversarial AIs will come online in earnest, and they'll begin probing, themselves, and alerting to us to major vulnerabilities and maybe even fixing them. As I said, eventually this behavior will stabilize, but that doesn't mean that the blows dealt in this adversarial relationship don't carry the cost of thousands of human lives.

And this is all within the subset of cases that are going to be "AI with nefarious motivations as directed by user(s)." This isn't even touching on scenarios in which an AI might be self motivated against our interests
In other news, police is not needed because everyone should just behave.
The notion that a thief would have to pay for their crimes with their life, either because anyone could be armed and its legal to protect your property with lethal force, or the government would punish repeated theft with death, I think would be enough to deter most people from doing so. It's the fact that a jail/prison sentence is meaningless to most criminals (if they're even sent there), that we have such rampant crime.

Just look at any country that has strict laws, and serious punishment like Singapore, Japan, South Korea. They enjoy unparalleled safety in their cities.

Yes. You can't be rendered useless by tech if tech is there for your benefit. (Though you can be harmed by tech if it is harmful or someone uses it against you for own benefit as part of obsolete dog eat dog society dynamic.)

Guess what I haven't had to do in 25 years? Replace a failed USB-A socket. Ever.

USB-A connectors are robust enough that you can't really pull them out by the cable. You have to pull the connector, which means you always pull them straight out. USB-C cables are smaller so some people yank the wire part of the cable instead of the connector, leading to a shearing force on the socket, which breaks it over time.

Broken connector ports are pretty much always user error. If you're a bit more careful to pull things out straight the port won't fail for years.

For a drone, an LLM derived solution is far too slow, unreliable, heavy and not fit for purpose. Developments in areas like optical flow, better small CNNs for vision, adaptive control and sensor fusion are what's needed. When neural networks are used, they are small, fast, specialized and cheap to train.

A multimodal or segmentation algorithm is not the solution for bee-level path planning, obstacle avoidance or autonomous navigation. Getting LLMs to power a robot for household tasks with low latency to action and in an energy efficient manner is challenging enough, before talking about high-speed, highly maneuverable drones.
SBM20 GM-tubes are still available on our Etsy
Those exist[1]. I reckon connector size is an issue on smaller devices, but there's no reason why USB-C couldn't be improved to make the connection more secure.

> My definition of capitalism is the accepted one

Yeah, no. That would fly in the face of feudalism, mercantilism, socialism and communism. All of those are economic systems based on who owns the means of production. If your definition of capitalism isn't coherent with all of those, then it's not a correct one.
Well, I guess we have the answer when it comes to Meta.
Well I genuinely value them but celebrating them as a king? I haven't seen any big/famed entrepreneur (not the small/medium businesses entrepreneur, they are true heroes who society should actually value) who came from severely disadvantaged background (no connection, money, status) and make it through upto billions. Just because someone is born privileged doesn't mean they should be heralded like a king. That is all.

Most of them have traces that goes back to social connection, high status, good education. Of course there will be some exceptions. But if we look at the general status of the population, most come from the "well-off" background.

> You should reconsider being on this site then if you think so little of entrepreneurs.

I put that example because psychologist have found that social media is even more addicting than drug like weed. And pure weed doesn't make your body addicted to it, it is just the psychological effect. Also, we have seen what social media did to the fabric of society.

I think I agree with your facts as stated, but the absurd part of it is that a single guy was selected as "the face of AI". This happens all the time (and it's wrong): focus on the most prominent people becomes a feedback loop that takes it to ridiculous proportions.
