While I agree with your general take and hate that my iphone can't be capped to 80% [0], and love that my otherwise crappy hp laptop can be capped to something like 85% (and reports both cap and max capacity), I don't agree with your final take.

To take the phone example, mine usually ends the day around 85%. I just don't use it too often. But I sometimes absolutely do and would trade months of battery life for not being left without battery in the middle of nowhere. And the 20% can make all the difference.

A few years ago, I rented a car in a foreign country on a foreign continent. It didn't come with a USB port, and I didn't have a cigar adaptor. When I arrived at my destination, at night, my phone's battery was 10%. I sure as hell am happy that it was charged to a "full" 100% instead of dying on me one hour earlier.

Sure, I could have grabbed an external battery or something. Not sure how much environmentally smarter that is, since it would basically rot away in a drawer somewhere, since I would basically never use it.

---

[0] Where does this 80% come from? Would it be even better if I stopped charging at 60%? I rarely use more than 20% of my phone's battery, so that would be largely enough, but I sometimes absolutely do and would hate to have to lug around external batteries "just in case".

> At night or while working, it's charging.

It doesn't have to be charging all the time. Some laptops have "intelligent" detection of the "usually plugged-in" state and won't keep the battery charged 100% at every moment, but will allow dropping it somewhat before charging again.

I suspect MacBooks are doing this quite aggressively (while lying about 100%), since their batteries tend to last (in terms of cycles) longer than windows laptops.
Her statement is crafted in a way where I feel it is meaningless. She refers to “the content in the MediaMatters article”. The statistic could literally be about how many people saw the ads next to the actual tweets in the article.

This is problematic because advertisers care about being next to any hateful content. She makes no claims about how many people saw ads next to Nazi content or racist content or homophobic content. Neither does the lawsuit. My bet is that she’s unable to make a more general statement because it would make X look bad. They clearly are able to mine the data, just not make truly exonerating statements from it.
This is important because it comes from someone who has first-hand knowledge and can talk freely (caveats notwithstanding).

It matches my gut feeling; Sam Altman has always seemed deceptive and manipulative to me. This is based on a general impression and as such, isn't worth much or anything at all -- but I would be surprised if something doesn't eventually come up that shows a real dark side of him.

Microsoft get to act as a sole distributor for the enterprise. That is quite valuable. Plus they are still in at the poker table and a few raises from winning the pot (maybe they just did!) but even without this chaos they are likely setting themselves up to be the for-profit investor if it ever transitioned to that. For a small amount of money (for MS) they get a lot of upside.

Gensler also said in 2018 that 3/4 of all cryptocurrencies were NOT securities. He likes to continuously expand his power by insisting everything is a security and falls under his jurisdiction.
TBH, I think those reasons are BS, and in fact what they claim he did is normal in any tech company. Start multiple projects with different approaches in parallel and pick the best at the end. That is how you innovate and test stuff fast, and this is now a reason to fire a CEO?

BS. I feel the board insulted my intelligence by pushing this obviously fake reason. I feel insulted that these people would even think I would consider this.

What I think happened is that Sam went on Joe Rogan and he talked smack about cancel and woke culture. Later he went to talk about how this culture is destructive and hinders the progress of innovation and startups.
People got big mad and kicked him out of the company.
Reaction was stronger than they expected and they try to make up reasons why he is bad, untrustworthy and had to be fired.

Markdown on its own isn’t in the same league as latex and similar systems. Off the top of my head, markdown doesn’t support: Figures outside the flow of the document, references, layouts (columns, etc), comments, formulas, a standard and good looking pdf output, page breaks, custom layouts for authors / abstract / etc, numbered chapters, autogenerated table of contents, custom blocks with different formatting, footnotes, appendixes and a whole lot more.

There are various “batteries included” markdown renderers - maybe like quarto - which add mermaid for diagrams and a few other features. But I’ve never seen a paper written in markdown with the same polish as what latex produces. It just doesn’t have the depth of features that you need for making a professional looking paper. Latex ships with all of that out of the box.

If their target market is people writing scientific papers, it makes sense that markdown isn’t in the list. Markdown isn’t a serious competitor.

But through Twitter/X's ad revenue sharing, money you spend on Apple products goes into marketing on Twitter/X, and finances Nazis.
> Eventually they would see Apple ads next to Nazi posts. Right?

The claim is that X promised Apple (& others) that their ads would not be shown next to such content - regardless of whether that content had been served by algorithmic coincidence or because the user followed exclusively toxic accounts.

> The only side effect of this would be that Nazis in the platform won't be seeing any ads.

I imagine the no-toxic-content feature is available to select brands. Otherwise, you're right - Nazis get adblock for free. They likely see ads from a different pool, like one of those thousands of NFT AI ICO scheme ads that come with community note warnings. Point is, they were never meant to be Apple ads.

I love Windows but it's been on a downward spiral for the last decade, which I blame squarely on poor product decisions and backward priorities.

It's a shame as the kernel team has made vast improvements, but the business unit seems to have no interest in simply offering a rock-solid OS.

I don't want ads, tracking, assistants or other distractions. There are so many fundamental core technologies they could be investing in advancing instead, but the idiots making the decisions seem attracted to glitter like moths to a flame.

Don't get me wrong I always love a good remote desktop tool, but the indicators shared in the article of the direction Microsoft intends on taking the OS make me want to puke. A front-and-center "Windows and Web Experiences" team and turning the OS into something you stream from Microsoft? No thank you. Don't shovel your shit down my pipes.
Software support is an important one, and Apple has managed to slow down the RAM baseline inflation that Android seems to experience every other year. Even people who regularly upgrade usually trade in their old phones because they still have enough value to bother, so a lot more phones get used all the way to the end of their support.
It's a mistake to claim to confidently know anything at this point. But if the board has some secret reason that makes them look good, I really struggle to understand why they wouldn't have leaked it to the media yet. It's too late for the truth to come out if half your company has already left, and the best people are going to be lining up offers, like, today.

If a racist says the sky is blue, I don't say "they are right", I just wait for a non-racist to say the sky is blue, which will happen if the sky is really blue, and then I say this person is right.

If the only people who say the sky is blue are racist, then it is because the sky is not really blue and only racist people will think it's blue, and in this case, when you say they are right, it just means you fall for the same simplifications.

In this case, for example, there is A LOT of people criticizing the policy of Israel government, but they are not doing it in a way that reeks racist ways of thinking (with all the useless implication of "them jews" and "their responsibilities"). And a big majority of the "normal" critics of Israel policies is not called antisemitic by people who mentioned the antisemitism of the commenter Elon's reacted to. If you are unable to understand why, it is more of a you problem than nothing else.

Sweden is the only country that accepted "asylum seekers" without extensive background check (to verify they actually are asylum seekers) and granted them permanent residency - which makes them legally immune to deportation.

Market fragmentation among Androids means that nobody stocks parts for anything and the margins are so low, a lot of shops will only do the brands they want to.

You can walk into nearly any cell phone shop in the world with an iPhone and walk out with a replaced battery because the staff know them and they stock parts for them.

No, I do not think a transformer architecture in a statistical language model has thoughts. It was just a joke.

At the same time, the original question was how can something that is forced to be polite engage in the genocide of humanity, and my non-joke answer to that is that many of history's worst criminals and monsters were perfectly polite in everyday life.

I am not afraid of AI, AGI, ASI. People who are, it seems to me, have read a bit too much dystopian sci-fi. At the same time, "alignment" is, I believe, a silly nonsense that would not save us from a genocidal AGI. I just think it is extremely unlikely that AGI will be genocidal. But it is still fun to joke about. Fun, for me anyway, you don't have to like my jokes. :)
> "What Apple did was clock down the CPU of iPhones with degraded batteries in order to reduce peak load"

It wasn't what Apple was doing that was the problem, it was the fact that they were initially quite secretive about it! People just started noticing their phones slowing down without explanation. Now days iOS tells if your battery no longer supports peak performance, which is the right thing to do.

> "Yes, they should have shipped the feature off by default and with a toggle"

Oh, it should always have been on by default. Most people would much rather their phone run a little slower than risk random crashes and shutdowns! But iOS should have told you about this from the start.
In the mean time, China is adding more and more solar, and is ahead of schedule in decarbonizing. Maybe there is still some hope.

> discharge to 80%, keep it there

Where? AFAIK this is a feature you need a third party app like Aldente for. The OS does not offer any way to control battery charging level. Yes, it tries to be smart and guess when you need full charge and sometimes decides to charge to only 80% but that doesnt work for all users except the ones with very regular routines and there is no manual control.
Thank you so much for these detailed answers! It’s really nice to hear from a professional in the field
Interesting to note.

We strongly recommend not installing macOS Sonoma, the operating system that follows Ventura. After Apple and app developers address bugs often accompanying major new versions, we will contact you to recommend upgrading. Until then, use one of the operating systems supported by HMS IT.

Same here. Except that I have older items that won't upgrade that far. I'll check diplomas to see if the doc comes from one of these "too old to support" medical schools, in case I am considered too old to support.

Maybe, as closed as open ai is, it is still too open.

Maybe it needed to be removed from the landscape so that only purely privately-held, large-scale operations exist?
Samsung phones have a good feature which limit charging to 85%. The only thing it's missing is the easy "I want full charge today" button, you need to go deep into settings to toggle this.

The other minor annoyance is that subjectively the battery charged to 100% seems to make a bigger difference than the reported 15% indicates - it seems like 30% or even more. Maybe some battery recalibration issue. But it doesn't bother me that much since 85% still carries me comfortably through the day.

Smallish model (7b) require a somewhat simplified grammar tho. Especially with longer complex instruction I found more luck by joining all the conditions with ands and to have everything that's a follow up and need to happen in order joined by then, instead of having more natural sentences.

So instead of "write a short story of a person that's satisfied at work" something along the line of "write a short story and the protagonist must be a person and the protagonist must be happy at work" boost comprension especially as the condition list becomes longer.

That leaves an obvious question: why not?

Is it just because the tweets in question weren’t very popular? In Media Matters’ screenshot, the ad-adjacent tweets only seem to have a few hundred views, so perhaps it was pure chance that they didn’t appear next to those specific ads for anyone else, though that seems unlikely.

Or is it because there’s an algorithm that tries to steer ads away from appearing next to potentially-objectionable content? But then why didn't it work for Media Matters’ test account? Does it have a threshold where if there’s so much potentially-objectionable content that it can’t find any valid placements, it loosens the rules? If so, how often does that happen? Or was there some other kind of failure?

In any case, I’m not feeling the transparency here.

And of course it’s hard to know what to conclude from data that’s apparently only about three(?) individual tweets, rather than a representative sample of similar tweets.

Says who?

I honestly don’t know, but qualifying as a “cure” doesn’t require fixing the original thing that was broken.

Whether something is classified as a cure or treatment just depends on the extent and permanence of its effectiveness.

Is that not what’s happening here?
I don't care much for third parties inserting themselves into (and likely collecting data on) things that have nothing to do with them. What kind of authenticator app would make it impossible for the maker of that app to know who I am or what services I'm using and when/how often I use them?
I get that but to assume a board of very smart, competent people would just up and fire a highly respected CEO for no reason when it seemed like they were destined to be enormously successful and right after a well received keynote seems strange to me when it’s the least likely scenario if you just consider the facts that we all know to be true.

To me, widespread facial recognition isn't that different from an ID... except you're always obligated to walk with your ID taped to your forehead. Once the system is in place, expanding it to other locations could be a trivial task. Hypothetically, this leads to a situation where you can discretely "card" anybody by just recording them, with no need to ask for an ID or even let the person know that they're being checked. And if that's in place, then, given enough cameras, tracking every person's location is also simplified. So, I guess my opposition here isn't directed at specifically TSA, but rather creating a centralized facial recognition database in general.

That's the fuss exactly - things are OK now, but there's cause for alarm as to where things are heading.

Imagine if instead of thinking about this issue as of ChatGPT, you've been worried about it for 15 years. Back then, there was nothing even close to ChatGPT, but you're worried that one day AI will become a threat. 15 years later, you get ChatGPT.

The fact that it's not dangerous by itself (which everyone agrees with) doesn't mean it's not a huge datapoint on the way to what you've been worried about - technology that you worried would get better too fast is clearly getting better very fast indeed.

South Korea has really strict anti-drug laws. They can prosecute you for testing positive for cannabis in a drug test. The police can then go through your phone contacts and test all those people too!

Two camps: one camp was into moving fast, cranking out products and profit. The other group watching from the side, claiming to be worried about the future of humanity. The group watching though had the power to fire the leaders of the other group, and they did.

It didn’t have to be any deeper philosophical disagreements or anything, just plain old rivalry and power grab. Of course it wouldn’t be written down as it’s just childish, but that’s how people behave, especially when newly found fame and power gets to their heads.
