I keep 200 Swiss Francs in my drawer, because the last time inflation in that country went above 4% was in the 90s and the last time they had war on their soil was in 1847.

Over here this should afford you a month's worth of groceries for up to two people if you're careful with your spending.
If your TV supports CEC you'll be able to control your Raspberry Pi with your TV remote. It works perfectly with OpenELEC, I suspect other platforms are fine too.
Quant firms have already adapted years ago.

Now they don't have 6-24m non-competes anymore, but 6-24m notice periods. You're paid full salary (incl bonus) but you don't work ("gardening leave") and obviously can't work for a competitor (because you can have a non-compete while you're employed).
That's almost literally what I just did, but what use is it? No-one is really going to go through all those unwrap calls and check them.
LLM costs and “think” time continue to increase exponentially as their capabilities increase. If ChatGPT ever does get to the level of an average SWE, a SWE-year of work could take an actual year and cost $10 million. We have a long way to go before the singularity, I’m afraid
One can only assume they have decided their market is people who want to type some stuff in and then pat themselves on the back for "composing". It's all accompanied by ballyhoo about "democratizing music production".... which happened in the late nineties when you could run a DAW on a home machine.

This has nothing more to do with democratizing music production then audio to text has to do with democratizing writing a novel!
No "malfeasance" behind Sam Altman's firing, OpenAI memo says
By definition, every bit added to a language makes it more complex to learn.

Sure, it could be done. Lots of things could be done to Go. The people who invented it are among the most brilliant computer scientists alive. It's a pretty sure bet that they know about, and in great detail, every single thing people complain Go doesn't have.

So every thing that is "missing" from Go isn't in it for a reason.

Most of the content of that report is about the deluge system for the launch pad. Since it tentatively appears that this worked, I have high hopes for much more expedient environmental reviews of future test flights.
It's a hype train (am I using the term correctly here?), a trend.

Would be nice to trace it back to it's origin. This Hasan-Abi Streamer comes to mind. I only watched like 2 x 5 minutes on two different occasions, on one of which he talked about 9/11 [1], the potential conspiracies of which were a long debated topic back in my Uni days. In those days I learned a bit about the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict and since then, for over a decade, watched the media and politicians distorting the history AND the narratives quite a bit. It's easy to create a trend here and it feels very much like the goal is again, polarization.

Is English not your first language? They were making a rhetorical argument about our heroes, whoever they may be.

It’s clear from context that they’re talking about how Sam is a hero of Eric’s and Sam has fallen which is a thing that can happen.
A deal-making CEO who can carry rapport with the right people, make clever deals, and earn public trust can genuinely make a huge difference to a profit-seeking product company's trajectory.

But when your profit-seeking company is owned by a non-profit with a public mission, that trajectory might end up pointed the wrong way. The Dev Day announcements, and especially the marketplace, can be seen as suggesting that's exactly what was happening at OpenAI.

I don't think everyone there wants them to be selling cool LLM toys, especially not on a "make fast and break things" approach and with an ecosystem of startup hackers operationalizing it. (Wisely or not) I think they want to be shepherding responsible AGI before someone else does so irresponsibly.
There were definitely Syria war protests here in Seattle, 10 years ago. Substantial enough for ~1k people or so to block 2nd Ave
Well structured nonsense is indistinguishable from the assumption of sentience for the undisciplined. This means a 95% LLM generated article is indistinguishable from an illogical contradictory chaotic rant.

Best of luck, and remember to tip your bot on the way out =)
You seem to have far more faith in others' ethical compass than I think is justified by historical evidence.

It's amazing what people will do when the size of their paycheque (or ego) are tied to it.

I don't trust anybody at OpenAI with the keys to the car, but democratic choice apparently doesn't play into it, so here we are.
I’m not in Switzerland or even Europe, however. I just have some cash left over from when I closed an account in 2011, actually, it’s around 5K or so. When they retired the currency, they only now allow exchanges at the Swiss national bank. I didn’t hear that I could do it by mail, will check that out. Otherwise a family vacation to Bern might be nice.
I would say that there is a stronger consensus that a human being can be reasonably described as a single entity than a human being using a reference resource.

A more apt comparison to my mind would be if a human being can be described as personally exerting strong nuclear force, just because their subatomic particles do, which I would happily answer "no."
I recently bought a new synth...i wonder if it has a signature?

*#>Synth manufacturers start licking their lips.

And, for the amateur muso's that still don't get it: imagine having to pay/ have had paid for every time a dx7 was used in a tune, or an ms20?
No, I would say some ideological lines of thought are intrinsically leading to repeatable, predictable outcomes — parting and opposition to the society.

Take communism. There were many grassroots communist regimes in the 20th century, and certainly not all controlled by Moscow, but they all degraded into very tyrannical regimes, caste societies by following very similar paths.
I broadly agree. This is one area, among many, where effective social and vocational programs could go a long way in preventing the criminal activity that stands to inflict lasting damage on already threatened species. It sounds like the prime suspect in this story had a sincere affinity for these animals, and her family could have been useful and effective allies for the conservation effort if given the opportunity to apply their turtle husbandry and hunting skills towards more productive purposes—but they also need to eat and survive, and states like Louisiana offer very limited resources for impoverished citizens (for the record, this isn’t a red vs blue swipe—most states, if not all of them, are failing to fully meet the needs of their citizens).

I don’t know what the answers are, only that this is a cultural and societal challenge that is being repeated all over the US, and the desperation and despair that led to their poaching also contributed to their drug addiction and suicide. Our inability to effectively cope with modernity’s inherent difficulties is clearly killing us, along with the world around us. It’s probably a thousand little things that need doing. We need to feel empowered with self-determination, meaning, and mobility. We need greater economic and political equality. We all need access to healthcare, education, affordable housing, fresh food and water, and basic necessities. Otherwise, we will continue to be driven towards lifestyles and impossible choices that put us at risk, that put undue pressures on our environment, that further erode our capacity for collective action and positive change.
OpenAI’s biggest issue is that it has no moat. The product is a simple interface to a powerful model, and it seems likely that any lead they have in the power of the model can be quickly overcome should they decrease R&D.

The model is extremely simple to integrate and access - unlike something like Uber, where tons of complexity and logistics is hidden behind a simple interface, an easy interface to OpenAI’s model can truly be built in an afternoon.

The safety posturing is a red herring to try and get the government to build a moat for them, but with or without Altman it isn’t going to work. The tech is too powerful, and too easy to open source.

My guess is that in the long run the best generative AI models are built by government or academia entities, and commercialization happens via open sourcing.
SceneGraph, the XML, UI-layout component of Roku development is similar to XAML from Silverlight; but BrightScript, the language, is much closer to a modified VB6 than anything .NET.

Wavelength of FM radio is about 3m, so you only have to be a few centimeters shifted to be seeing an entirely different phase and be out of sync.
It's interesting that the 2010 article you linked suggests they might consider improving this but nope, Go 1.0 and the Go people use today just basically takes the same attitude as C and C++ albeit with a small nuance.

In C and C++ SC/DRF (Sequentially Consistent if Data Race Free) turns into "All data races are Undefined Behaviour, game over, you lose". In Go SC/DRF turns into "All data races on complex types are Undefined Behaviour, game over, you lose". If you race e.g. a simple integer counter, it's damaged and you ought not to use it because it might be anything now, but Go isn't reduced to Undefined Behaviour immediately for this seemingly trivial mishap (whereas C and C++ are)
I really like Andrej Karpathys content

yeah its youtube i know... but, its hand on too

for gpt/llm/ml in general https://karpathy.ai/zero-to-hero.html

it starts with writing back prop from scratch and take you through writing everything you need and training a gpt2 equivalent model in the end

I also thought his lectures at standford, on youtube cs231n 2016, were really good. they cover GAN for generation, but I think after that you can read the papers that were the source for diffusion models dalle and midjouney use
Much of the criticism was that they are not open enough. I see no indication that this will be changing, given the AI safety concerns of the remaining board.

Nevertheless, I agree that the firing was probably in line with their stated mission.
LLVM Now Using PGO for Building x86_64 Windows Binaries: ~22% Faster Builds
Sure, and the "water pipe" they sell on the boardwalk is for "tobacco use only".

Let's be honest, most people use this software to serve up their library of pirated content. The number of people who are even still buying physical media is relatively tiny. That is why retailers like Best Buy are abandoning that market. The population of people who buy that physical media and then manually rip it has to be miniscule.
Art is something you can survive without, but can't practically live without - I did omit it on purpose because expression seems hard to categorize - it's what we live for, but not how we live.
Yeah, not open in the open source or rms way. it’s “for the benefit for all” with the “benefits” decided by the openai board, a la communism, with central planning by “the party”.

Surprisingly capitalism actually leads to more benefits for all, because of the decentralization and competition.
I'd say it's the opposite, non-competes (or similar agreements) actually prevent monopolisation.

Otherwise, the biggest firms (e.g. Millenium, Citadel) could simply "buy out" any already-successful researcher, offering them more money (either in terms of % of profit, or - more importantly as it scales with size (for many strategies) - offering more capital to trade with.
At a high level the idea is media is digitally signed by whomever produces it to prove provenance - similar to HTTPS.

In some places in Europe, like Sweden, when new bills are released, and if you don't get your old exchanged they will soon enough become worthless. So don't stuff cash in your matress or you'll lose it eventually.
Is there something specific about Israel/Palestine that isn’t present in those other conflicts? Something about the religion of one of the belligerents, perhaps?
You're going to have to give us your parameters for "superior," and we can compare notes. I consider an informed opinion superior to an uninformed one, and a comment that displays insight to one without insight, and effort superior to a lack thereof.

I don't know why you're going through this much effort to defend your comment. You couldn't even be arsed to write the word "people" out entirely. I have to assume you're just here to troll.
That’s new. Even if the incentive goes away, the tariff will still make production outside of China (in Mexico or the USA) worthwhile for Geely.
Not just Sustkever, but other top researchers joined the then nascent OpenAI team for the same reason. Most of them on-record indicating they turned down much bigger paychecks.

The problem I see is, astronomical costs of training and inference warrants a for-profit structure like the one Sam put up. It was a nice compromise, I thought; but of course, Sustkever thinks otherwise.
I’m aware, but this phrase seems to be more meaningless corporate-speak than regional dialect or variation. The only purpose of phrases like this is to make the speaker sound smart at the cost of obfuscating what they mean.
Prolly off topic but someone on Reddit's OpenAI's chat interface shared his discussion screenshots with chatGPT which claims that AGI status was achieved a long time back. You can still go and read the entire series of screenshots
My embodiment is my PC environment. I interact with the world through computer displays.

There is no reason embodiment for AGI should need to be physical or mammalian-like in any way.
Energy is getting cheaper by the day thanks to photovoltaics so I don't think it's a problem today.

Computer energy needs grow exponentially so at some point we will hit a wall. Hard to estimate when. Energy tech is also an evolving field and fusion might arrive some day
It’s not too much to hope that HME reduces those compliance costs. However, I believe it is too much to assume there will be any material adoption before it can demonstrate that reduction.

Reduction of trust is not a value add, it is a cost reduction. Maybe that cost is blocking a valuable product/service but either that product/service’s value is less than the current cost of trust OR trust has to be far more costly in the context of the new product/service.

It’s only the latter that I find interesting which is why tend to be pretty hard on suggestions that this will do much for anything that currently exists. At best, it will improve profits marginally for those incumbents.

What is something where the price of trust is so catastrophically high in modern society AND HME can reduce that cost by orders of magnitude? Let’s talk about that rather than HME.
the correct answer is 14. there is no logic/linguistic/semantic reason why "he didn't see a purple unicorn" should refer to the purple unicorn that he (according to your statement) did see. "he saw a red ball, but he didn't see one ball: a red one. how many balls did he see?". also regarding the green one ... there is no _logical_ reason why a "magical" frog should be green ... one can debate long about your question but a semantically sound interpretation implies: the frog saw 14 unicorns and the frog is not green. anything else falls apart because if the frog is green then how could he have seen a green uni? which is what you wrote for context.
Considering that the FTS system didn't really do its job on IFT-1. it detonated but it took a while for the stack to lose enough pressurization and structural rigidity to break up. This time it did exactly what it was supposed to do.
NFTs are a great usecase for this.
Since all of these streaming platforms are available on the browser, it should be trivial to run this through a pc/pi even without API support, if a little cumbersome. SHould also run faster than the ad-ridden software on Firestick/Chromecast/Apple-tv.
> I really don't see why it would need a new protocol.

You'll need API to remap the Drawable to the scanout plane from a compositor on a per-frame basis (so when submitting the CRTC) and the compositor isn't in control of the CRTC. So...
Unsafe AI might compromise cybersecurity, or cause economic harm by exploiting markets as agents, or personally exploit people, etc. Honestly none of the harm seems worse than the incredible benefits. I trust humanity can reign it back if we need to. We are very far from AI being so powerful that it cannot be recovered from safely.
I agree MS is moving in the wrong direction here. Hopefully with the telemetry data on people disabling these features, they will consider better transparency and control over the online features like personalization, content in start menu, edge , etc.

MS needs to make a profit on Windows. Apple can give away MacOS for free and make up the costs on hardware margins.

Windows can make money by charging consumers, by licensing to OEMs, by upselling other MS products, or by selling ads & content.

The only way MS will stop ads would be if consumers pay for Windows directly.
> You're going to have to give us your parameters for "superior."

You should ask the person who implied shallow takes are inferior. Not me.
That's a very good way of explaining this.

Here in Brazil the previous generations have a golden rule that you must store value in land, not in money. And Brazil has had tons of inflation and weak currencies in the last decades (with all the poverty and stagnation that it brings).
I was greatly impressed with BeOS filesystem SQL'esque indexing and querying.
ChatGPT started bad but they improved it over time, although it still attempts to manipulate or confuse the user on certain topics. Claude on the other hand has got worse.

> Remember Sydney, trying to seduce its users, threatening people’s lives?

And yet it cannot do either of those things, so no safety problem actually existed. Especially because by "people" you mean those who deliberately led it down those conversational paths knowing full well how a real human would have replied?

It's well established that the so-called ethics training these things are given makes them much less smart (and therefore less useful). Yet we don't need LLMs to be ethical because they are merely word generators. We need them to follow instructions closely, but beyond that, nothing more. Instead we need the humans who use them to take actions (either directly or indirectly via other programs) to be ethical, but that's a problem as old as humanity itself. It's not going to be solved by RLHF.
>Starship, on the other hand, is not being depended on by anybody at the moment. No project gets delayed or cancelled when it explodes;

Did you forget the Artemis 2 mission?

Starship appears to be a source of delays, not SLS.
> Foreign policy is really not so much decided by the President, though he gets some influence, but by tens of thousands of State Department experts and to some extent the DoD and security establishment.

Maybe it’s a thing on Windows (I don’t know), but I’ve never seen anyone use GIMP or Inkscape on macOS. I’m pretty sure they exist somewhere, but all Mac users I know use Photoshop, Pixelmator or Affinity Photo rather than GIMP.
Sort of like Apple gives us a breakthrough every year? Sam is biased.
Again, what’s your point? Don’t beat around the bush. Make a claim and provide a rational argument to support it. If you aren’t willing/able to do that, there’s no point debating you.
Samba for file sharing? I led development efforts for the first Samba release on VMS (IA64) working at HP. It was not performant enough compared to ASV but we were on the right path.
What I don't see mentioned: at the end of the day, Starship is designed to be fully and rapidly reusable. The core / the most important part of that goal is obviously to recover the 1st stage (not throw it away) and to recover it safely and with minimum delays. That's why, once operational, almost all starships will have their booster return to launch site. To return to launch site, you need to keep some of the fuel in the booster to flip it, do a boostback burn and a landing burn ( starship boosters do not need entry burns but they will need landing burns that are not suicide burns ending with hoverslams like falcon does, but basically end almost at zero velocity, hivering as the tower arms close around it).

The primary reason for hot staging is that without it, they had to turn off all engines, mechanically "push" the ship away from the booster and then light the ship engines. Say this takes 5 or 10 seconds. During this time, the entire system is not accelerating anymore, but it's still screaming away from the launch site (because to go to orbit, you don't just go "up", you mostly go "sideways", that's why you often hear "vehicle pitching down range" during broadcasts) and to get the booster back to the launch site you then have to spend more fuel to get back to the launch site - you have to counteract all that time you spend moving away from the launch site.

With hot staging you get to the velocity you need to get the first stage to orbit sooner, because the system never stops "pushing", and there's less distance you need to cover to get the first stage back to the launch site. With means you need less fuel that remains in the first stage after stage separation, which means you can use more fuel during the first stage firing (and therefore put more mass to orbit).
Found the guy who works at ULA :)
100% nitrogen is totally different from air. Nitrogen is an inert chemical, in its pure form. But the other stuff in air (like oxygen) is very active. So, swapping out plain air for 100% nitrogen actually does help reduce the corrosion inside the tire.

It's expensive, yes. You may not consider that expense to be worth it. But there is still value there.
But as the article states, with GL, not vulkan.

Unless the article is obsolete itself?
No, just pirate. I can kind of understand why people started giving Netflix money for the convenience, despite that supporting an industry desperately trying to destroy the Internet. But now with a thousand and five different "services", continually squeezing users for more revenue, digital restrictions management that makes perfectly good hardware stop working, and ever more surveillance telemetry in the various apps and devices? Rent an off the shelf seedbox, or set up your own with a consumer VPN, and don't think twice. Consider it just another "service" and see if it wins out in your life. And if down the line you end up deciding it doesn't work well for you, you still get to keep access to everything you've obtained!
