I disagree. No one needed that in the 90s when CSS came out, all they needed was a way to reference document styles from one file, rather than adding it manually to every HTML file.

And besides, don't all front-end frameworks just add CSS directives into the HTML anyway? I feel like the incessant urge to make webdev look and feel like pure programming that emerged with the SV gold rush would have led us where we are anyway - except in the universe where CSS was already a full fledged programming language, things would just be exponentially more complex than they are now.

P.S. How does that rape trope in western propaganda manages not to get old? It's basically copypasta.
I use uBlock Origin and uMatrix. In uMatrix its needed to enable cookies and javascript when the site uses some cloudflare settings (only site's cookies, not third parties). CookieAutodelete turned to be essential due this.

Here, I did it for you:

Nero was a Roman Emperor from 54 to 68 AD, known for his controversial and extravagant reign. He was the last emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Here are some key points about his life and rule:

1. *Early Life and Ascension*: Nero was born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus in 37 AD. He was adopted by his great-uncle, Emperor Claudius, becoming Nero Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus. He ascended to the throne at the age of 17, after Claudius' death, which many historians believe Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger, may have orchestrated.

2. *Reign*: Nero's early reign was marked by influence from his mother, tutors, and advisors, notably the philosopher Seneca and the Praetorian Prefect Burrus. During this period, he was seen as a competent ruler, initiating public works and negotiating peace with Parthia.

3. *Infamous Acts*: As Nero's reign progressed, he became known for his self-indulgence, cruelty, and erratic behavior. He is infamously associated with the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. While it's a myth that he "fiddled while Rome burned" (the fiddle didn't exist then), he did use the disaster to rebuild parts of the city according to his own designs and erected the opulent Domus Aurea (Golden House).

4. *Persecution of Christians*: Nero is often noted for his brutal persecution of Christians, whom he blamed for the Great Fire. This marked one of the first major Roman persecutions of Christians.

5. *Downfall and Death*: Nero's reign faced several revolts and uprisings. In 68 AD, after losing the support of the Senate and the military, he was declared a public enemy. Facing execution, he committed suicide, reportedly uttering, "What an artist dies in me!"

6. *Legacy*: Nero's reign is often characterized by tyranny, extravagance, and debauchery in historical and cultural depictions. However, some historians suggest that his negative portrayal was partly due to political propaganda by his successors.

His death led to a brief period of civil war, known as the Year of the Four Emperors, before the establishment of the Flavian dynasty.

> not making a statement about NTFS's reliability vs ext3/ext4

I should have been a bit clearer there: I only mentioned those specific filesystems because those are the ones I have a lot of experience with, rather than intending to bang the drum for them (or one in favour of the other). I expect other much-tested journaled filesystems could be substituted into the same sentences.

Based on the downvotes I am getting and the links posted in the other comment, I think you are absolutely right. People are acting as if ChatGPT is AGI, or very close to it, therefore we have to solve all these catastrophic scenarios now.
Did you every track their tokens? The price of movement of the short and long coins was very dubious. Binance at points allowed up to transfer and 1 BTC without registration, therefore enabling a lot of shady characters to trade on their platform. A lot of scammers and fraudsters were using binance as their preferred platform.
Lots of people handwaving about "bubbles" and making vast generalizations about massive populations. Is there any objective data to back these claims up?

It got worse with Windows ME but yes I felt that Windows 98 had lots of stuff to be removed. I were impressed at first glance with Windows Memphis until I realized it was the same as Windows 95 and I started to explore different shells as alternative to explorer.exe and I believe it was Litestep with a simple skin I got my best performance from.. but as I, had a better experience in Linux (besides graphics resolution) which I hade newly explored I booted into Windows less, and less...

Do you have a source for this?
If you haven't read Invisible Women[0] yet, you should. Don't be intimidated by the page count, a good 50% of the book is just listing sources of _everything_.

The tl;dr is that women, for example, have been excluded from all kinds of medical, scientific and safety studies just because it's too hard to include them. Them having periods and hormones and all that stuff that makes science HARD. It's easier just to test on men =)

Problem with ChatGPT isn't that they get facts wrong, but that they're what the categorical name suggests, large language models.

At one point I came across this series of "are CJK languages related" questions in Quora with cached ChatGPT responses[1], all grammatically correct and very natural, largely turboencabulators, sometimes contradicting even within a single response.

Podcasters? They're not _this_ inconsistent.

We software engineers took Moore's law as a free pass to make our software twice as shitty every 18 months.
That MITM would have needed to follow me around, since I tried in several networks. But nothing is ruled out so far. I wish the error was a bit more informative, since my date/time settings are clearly OK, so I am kinda stuck here.
For an example of an SSD review that shows a sustained write test:

In a 900 second timeframe, the 980 Pro drops down to a bit above 1GB/s, while the worst is somewhere in the tens of MB/s. So there are significant differences in SSD performance profiles which you can only find out about from reviews like this.

Fictional Cross-Examination of B. Clinton by Alan Shore and Saul Goodman
Are you seriously comparing the cost and speed to reproduce a piece of software with a living, functioning human being? Intelligent software can also hide in an existing infrastructure much more easily than a human can.

Also, we're talking about the world in which the cost of GPUs is dropping and GPUs becoming much more abundant over time.
I agree, the README is not really understandable if you're not into AI research techno-babble. Just adding one sentence targeted at normal people would maybe have been useful.

To answer your question, it's a model that you can give image and videos, which you can then interact with via an LLM (ask questions, describe, process further, etc.) It can "see" them, basically.

It the same capability as GPT-4V (ChatGPT's "upload image" feature), except that ChatGPT only offers images.
Sorry what? Nothing I wrote apples to LLMs; they are not optimized for popularity, they’ve been meticulously designed and built to be as accurate as possible.
> how are machines supposed to intervene in the real world and threaten our very existence?

Obvious answer is: any control system connected to a computer is already accessible. Who says a computer program has to "gain" access? Programs already have access to a lot of machinery. From power plants to hospitals to elevators and magnetic doors. I know, because I programmed a bunch. These days GPT can output function calls as json, all you need to do is make it call your control automation and all your cheesy unrealistic sci-fi shows become feasible.
For some that is important, but more people consider the prevention of an AI monopoly to be more important here. See the original charter and the status quo with Microsoft taking it all.

> alphabet soup brand fakes from chinese FBA sellers instead of buying products directly sold by amazon

Does this actually make a difference? I remember the issue was that Amazon would bin devices together regardless if they're from some random third-party or direct sale, so you could have fakes mixed in with genuine and it was basically a lucky dip.

Is this not still the case?

Ultimately, I'd be weary of buying things like this from Amazon and as you suggest go to a more traditional retail channel instead.
This has been a whirlwind, I feel like I've seen every single possible wrong outcome confidently predicted here, twice.
I think you are downplaying the risk they took significantly, this could have easily gone the other way.

Stock options usually have a limited time window to exercise, depending on their strike price they could have been faced with raising a few hundred thousand in 30 days, to put into a company that has an uncertain future, or risk losing everything. The contracts are likely full of holes not in favor of the employees, and for participating in an action that attempted to bankrupt their employer there would have been years of litigation ahead before they would have seen any cent. Not because OpenAI would have been right to punish them, but because it could and the latent threat to do it is what keeps people in line.
To answer that question, ask yourself what a „physical threat“ means to you. I would bet that (in an industrialized country) for any example there is a chain of events that could possibly be controlled by an AI. Dying of a virus? Could be designed by an AI and sent to bio-terrorists. Being beaten to death? An AI could provoke an angry mob. Dying of hunger? An AI could sabotage the economy of a country until it is back in 19th century. And those examples are „relatively“ benign.
Well that's disappointing. They might as well disband the entire concept of the non-profit as it's clearly completely irrelevant and powerless.

> Clearly they did not betray employees or investors, since they largely sided with Sam

Just because they sided with Altman doesn't necessarily mean they are aligned. There could be a lack of information on the employee/investor side.
Hasn't really been a problem. The way I use it is like

"Explain this concept to me."

"Give examples from the physical world and every day life."

"Elaborate on that last example."

"Give some examples from the domain of ___."

"Tell me about the history of the concept and why it was necessary to invent it."

"How does this concept relate to the concept of ___."

So I'm trying to approach what I want to learn from many different angles and build context and intuition. Sort of like talking to a tireless grad student tutor. Errors would become more obvious due to contradiction. I've caught it making some mistakes but they were sort of trivial and I could see the spirit of what it was getting at. Plus, "truth" tends to "click."
This is the sort of thinking that really distracts and harms the discussion

It's couched on accusing people of intentions. It focuses on ad hominem, rather than the ideas

I reckon most people agree that we should aim for a middle ground of scrutiny and making progress. That can only be achieved by having different opinions balancing each other out

Generalising one group of people does not achieve that
It's actually one of the most spectacular failures in business history, but we don't talk much about it

I remember being able to watch bootleg movies on a Windows 2000, while Windows 98 was too slow on the same hardware. I suspect that had nothing to do with bloatware, but rather some internal inefficiencies while dealing with heavy CPU/memory/IO load.

Do you feel the same way about Reed Hastings serving on Facebooks BoD, or Eric Schmidt on Apples? How about Larry Ellison at Tesla?

These are just the lowest of hanging fruit, i.e literal chief executives and founders. If we extend the criteria for ethical compromise to include every board members investment portfolio I imagine quite a few more “obvious” conflicts will emerge.
I don't get how any of this is related to a car dependent society.

Abraham was certainly not a marxist. Even if he was wasn't really the question of car dependency on the agenda during his time.

The US isn't the only capitalistic country. I live in Sweden for example where car dependency isn't really an issue for people in small tows/suburbs
There are plenty of products and services that I use despite them being not great or even consumer hostile in some cases. We don’t live in a fantasy world where we always do nice things.

What this means, however, is that I do what I can to de-enshitify what can be (and the less ethical the company, the fewer qualms I have about doing this, meaning I have zero issues with blocking Google and Meta trackers and analytics, and I have no respect for companies who don’t respect me and try to shove ads down my throat), and I jump ship the second there is an alternative.

You're assuming a situation where the AI is alone against all humans.

The AI could get humans to side with it, though. It could promise money, power, etc. So it could be a fellow human who physically prevents you from pushing the switch. And that's also the answer of "how could it control a drone/missile"... persuading humans to grant that kind of access.
Thats why as a business i would rather use a trusted FOSS LLm interface like textgeneration-WEBUI
https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
Warning: Method is recursive on all execution paths.
This app could use some simple UI improvements:

- The chatbox field has a normal "write here" state, when no chat is really selected. I thought my keyboard broke until I discovered that

- I didn't find a way to set cuda acceleration before loading a model, only managed to set gpu offloaded layers and using "relaunch to apply"

- Some HugginFace models are simply not listed and there's no indication about why. I guess models are really curated, but somehow presented as a HuggingFace browser?

- Scrolling in the accordion parts of the interface seems to be responding to mouse wheel scroll only. I have a mouse with a damaged one and couldn't find a way to reliably navigate to bottom drawers

That said, I really liked the server tab, which allowed for initial debugging very easily
Does anyone know which faction (e/acc vs decels) the new board members Bret Taylor and Larry Summers will be on?

She was not a parent - she was a child victim of the site since she was 11 years old. Thats an important distinction to overlook in the rush to judgement.
Whatever OpenAI started as, a week ago it was a company with the best general purpose LLM, more on the way, and consumer+business products with millions of users. And they were still investing very heavily in research. I'm glad that company may survive. If there's room in the world for a more disruptive research focused AI company that can find sustainable funding, even better.
No, but any hypothetical AGI would be reliant on machinery to survive, humans are are not. Humans could EMP all electronics (heck, the sun could so that for us even), blow up all infrastructures, factories, etc. and still survive.

Being able to fast copy while totally being reliable on artificial structures is a massive weakness. Software is just software - it doesn't generate electricity on its own.
Personally, I think box-sizing being content-box by default was probably the biggest misstep here, and something that genuinely feels at odds with how 99% of the population would design or build something. The fact IE got it right initially and then it took another few years to even get things fixed across the board just feels utterly ridiculous to me.

Also, not having something like Flexbox or Grid earlier on was another mistake that should have been listed too. The fact we had to resort to hacks related to floats and table layout to create basic layouts was an absolute joke, and indicates that the creators at the time had no idea what a site or application would usually be like design or functionality wise.

My limited understanding is that this was all that was strictly required, and would normally be sufficient.

Nevertheless, when a board decision explodes into international headline news as this one did, my gut feeling is it might possibly be a good idea to make a press release with more details.

But that's easy for me to say — I don't have the real insider information, and I wasn't in their shoes.

Agreed was a little unsure about shooters at first but the same period covers Half Life/CS. Though it took consoles to catch up with that multiplayer experience for shooters. Was goldeneye as good as PC shooters like CS or Quake?

That all said, after a 3-4 year break from games, I did get quite a lot of wonder from Destiny 2 and Monster Hunter World as it took quite a happy period of readjustment before I could see the invisible walls and game objects again. So maybe some of it is an age/experience thing...

But the core gameplay loop of D2 with its weird chore mechanics are a far cry from the fun and adventure some games like OG Chrono Trigger had...
Even now that doesn't get you all kind of access, only some. You have to assume magical abilities at persuasion of people to do that.

It is strange (but in hindsight understandable) that people interpreted my statement as a "pro-acceleration" or even "anti-board" position.

As you can tell from previous statements I posted here, my position is that while there are undeniable potential risks to this technology, the least harmfull way to progress is 100% full public, free and universal release. The by far bigger risk is to create a society where only select organizations have access to the technology.
