That’s the definition of asset appreciation. This is comparable to buying gold 100 years back vs now, no one is complaining Gold is doomed because it was dirt cheap a century ago, not did gold lose its ability to retain value because it was getting expensive. Although the rate of growth won’t be this explosive for BTC in the future as it is now.

Late adopting rich people might still get into BTC ETF for its ability to maintain its value in the long term, as simple as that and doesn’t matter at what price they buy.
Depends on how many billions you spent on stock buybacks that year..

Show HN: Mpvc-TUI – A minimal mpc-like CLI and TUI for controlling mpv (repost)
Hi there, This is just a shameless (re)post about a personal project of mine:

"Using mpv and mpvc to play and manage the stuff I listen/watch."

The goal of the project stays the same as stated in the original [2022] HN post, and revolves around: the need to manage music programmatically, through a CLI that can be scripted/coded, and CLI tools to manage, arrange and control the music played.

What has changed during last year has been that the set of mpvc tools has grown, and, stabilized, adding support for more use cases and functionality. So In addition to the core mpvc CLI, and TUI provided by mpvc-tui, there is now tools such as mpvc-equalizer, mpvc-fzf for fuzzy searches using fzf, mpvc-autostart to auto start/stop based on presence, and mpvc-web for having access to mpvc when away from the terminal, by using a web (HTTP) interface, say from a browser on a tablet or a phone, or a non-linux system.
Recently the fork has been merged into the main github repo, and its packages updated in a few Linux distributions (Archlinux AUR).

The development progress presented above is documented into a logbook @ https://gmt4.github.io/mpvc/logbook.html, so be sure to check it for more on how to use mpvc. It never occurred to me that the logbook would become such a useful tool to keep track of what's going on, what's missing, and just to recall commands/recipes on how to accomplish certain tasks.

If you are still reading, just head to https://gmt4.github.io/mpvc/

Thanks!

Be sure to check the timeframes involved. Creatine is a naturally produced in your body, and you also get some from diet. Your body reaches saturation at a rate that varies by person. Some people will see near to 0 benefit from creatine as their body is already producing a near maximal amount of it. But even for those with low creatine levels, a brief loading phase (of ~25g a day for a week) and then 5g a day maintenance will generally see them at peak levels.

There's probably minimal risk of meaningful damage going overboard for a healthy person, but large doses can cause stomach issues for some people, and it seems unlikely to provide benefit beyond going beyond complete saturation. It looks like, of the studies you showed, the only one where they went for a large dosing for a long period of time was when experimenting with it on children with traumatic brain injuries. That's probably because the risk:reward skewed heavily towards reward there.

Has Toner (or someone with like-minded views) filled in the blanks between "GPT-4" and "Terminator Judgement Day" in a believable way? I've read what Yudkowsky writes but it all sounds so fantastical that it's, at least to me, more like an episode of The Twilight Zone or The X-Files than something resembling reality. Is Toner really in the "nuke the datacenters" camp? If so, was her placement on the board not a mistake from the beginning?

HN, what are some must-have features for a media marketplace?
Hey HN!

I recently launched my web app, Vaulted at https://tryvaulted.com/, and am looking to gather some feedback on what some must-have features are. The premise of the website is selling unreleased media. Meaning, all the things that have not gotten an official release. Outside of the obvious, like payments integration, what are some features you would recommend?

"Oops we didn't mean to do that" isn't a defense from liability for product not doing what you told the purchaser it would.

It's their responsibility to do develop the product correctly, do QA, and if a defect is found, advise customers or stop selling the defective goods.

The greatest scam the computer industry pulled was convincing people that computers are magical, unpredictable devices that are too complex for the industry to be held responsible for things not working as claimed.
I just don’t know why an ethicist would remain involved in a company they find is behaving unethically and proceed with business as usual. I suppose the answer is the news from Friday, though the course feels quite unwise for the multitude of reasons others have already outlined.

The most truly important sub-sector of the AI Safety field is what's officially known as AI Existential Safety, and which OpenAI employees jokingly call "AI NotKillEveryoneism".

AI Existential Safety is devoted to reducing two risks:

"x-risk", short for Existential Risk, which is the risk that AI leads to our extinction.

"s-risk", short for Suffering Risk, which is the risk that AI subjugates us and leads us to Matrix-like outcomes where we can neither escape nor die.

For an intro to how x-risk scenarios can come about, read about the "paperclip maximizer" thought experiment. Succinct explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38344675

Microsoft giving these credits to OpenAI doesn't mean some other customer won't buy the Azure credits they planned on buying. So I don't see how what you write makes sense.

At least assuming Microsoft hasn't run out of capacity in their data centers. I know Azure sometimes have capacity issues but those issues are intermittent and not say 5 year long (or whatever the windoe is when it comes to consuming these credit)

I hate to see more and more people switching from Mercurial to Git. The way to overcome the "network effects" is exactly for large projects like Mozilla to stand tall and say clearly that they are going to use Mercurial because it is better and git is worse.

Of course, I shouldn't really expect such from Mozilla given all the other dubious actions they've taken over time.
Yes, but I did not realize that you did not realize that I was being sarcastic.
Are you sure it’s not you projecting with your entire list there? Sex, nationalism… hahaha! :) I only said power.

I think it’s often the people who want power but, want to do something not good with it or abuse it, who get upset when their power-seeking is identified as what it is.

I understand if “it’s obvious” hand wavy, but your comment, which makes vague assertions that I don’t know without backing it up, could be considered hand wavy. It might even come across as an abusive attempt to silence someone saying something you dislike, by trying to frame the speaker as “ignorant, therefore should not speak.”

The obviousness of what I said arises from power being a perennial dynamic of human behavior, which I think your comment does a fair and job of demonstrating hahaha! :)

Why not? Symptom overlap springs to mind. Both anxiety and reflux can present 90% of the common symptoms of a heart attack.

LLMs aren't FUD, they are literally the future we're betting on to keep Microsoft here doing the things that Microsoft does. Whatever those things are.
Could we all stop entertaining these LessWrong hypotheticals? The notion that the board wants to shut down OpenAI to stop non-existent AGI is mad.

I actually like Victor Mono. Ligatures, italics and cursive comments are my favorite features. It helps me to visually classify different sections of code, without being dependent on just colour of the text (I find current code themes already way too colourful!).

That just doesn't match the timeline clearly indicates Microsoft responded to a massive chunk of their valuation potentially evaporating and did damage control.

To be fair, I’m not even sure if the majority of consumers would prefer a “power outage safe” SSD that is however significantly slower over the alternative.

I do agree that there should be transparency, though: Label it “turbo mode”, add a big warning sticker (and ideally a way to opt out of it via software or hardware), but don’t just pretend to be able to have the cake and eat it too.
Oh thank goodness I wasn't the only one with this issue! My coworker uses WSL2 regularly and never ran into it...

Collagen is made out of mainly 3 amino acids:(hydroxy)proline, lysine, and glycine. So in theory collagen powder is giving you very high levels of those specific amino acids which would help promote collagen formation. I can’t say I’m familiar with the literature and if there is any data behind that - but thats your reason
In this same vein, don't go down the rabbit hole of Image libraries. PIL resizing is different than Pytorch resizing. The effects are actually large enough to affect your models. Yes, even one trained at fp16. It can also result in people being displaced on leaderboards even when just changing things during evaluation.

I think a lot of people, including a lot of ML researchers, would be surprised by these subtle effects and their influences. It really makes metrics a bit fuzzier than they already are (which is already pretty fuzzy not that we're in high quality domains). But at the same time it __shouldn't__ surprise people given how strong the lottery effect is. Evaluation is just fucking hard but we all light to get caught up in leaderboards. Just just can't quantify concepts as "most realistic image" or "most realistic language." Hell, that's a big reason why we invented RLHF.
I don't think doing less crime was ever on the table for these guys.
You must enable Bard history for these features to work, and you must go to the extensions page and make sure they’re turned on. Arguing with a model that doesn’t have access to the extensions won’t make it suddenly use the extensions.

Summarizing my last 5 emails worked just fine with bard using that query.
Your reply has been on my mind for days. Why did you write this? I'm a stranger on a website, I could skin cats and eat babies for all we know. It comes across as insincere, but I have no reason to be rude to you. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I hope you understand my confusion and don't take it as an attack.

Show HN: Model-agnostic text summarization with Anthropic and OpenAI LLMs
With OpenAI being unsettled this week, we compared the newly released Anthropic Claude 2.1 with Claude 2.0, and OpenAI GPT-3/4 LLMs, for model-agnostic text summarization.
> The board’s mission is to ensure that the company creates artificial intelligence that “benefits all of humanity,” and if the company was destroyed, she said, that mission would be fulfilled.

How does destroying company achieve the mission of having _that very company_ create artificial intelligence that "benefits all of humanity?"
Frankly, I would go so far as to say he is the wrong man for the job of running the for-profit arm of a nonprofit.

He seems to be a guy who wants to be the next Zuckerberg. He wants fame and power, and would step on anyone and anything that gets in his way.

His agreessive commercialization of OpenAI gets in the way of the organization’s original mission. He believes he should get to tell the board what to do, not the other way around.

OpenAI would be better off with a more “tame” CEO who would just do what he/she can to make some dough without running afoul of the organization’s charter, accepting that his/her role and desires are secondary to organization’s.
Is data=ordered the default?
It's not sending you a cent? Care to explain why someone would use ChatGPT Free with voice, if this provides no value to them? Pokes a sizable hole in your entire argument. It's not like the government came to your house and told you "use it or go to jail".

Do you ask people for money when they talk to you in general? Saying "it's not a someone" is just arbitrary categorization. If it was like talking to a wall, you probably wouldn't talk to it, or would you? Is it possible not everything has a monetary aspect on personal level, but on a corporate level that's the only way you can capture value which is then also expressed in non-monetary ways such as people providing work or advice for the furtherment of a goal or project?

I don't know. Let's maybe think about the word we live in. Some might say the most worthless thing in the world is money. What is it good for by itself? It's not only useless paper you can't even wipe your behind with, but these days it's just digits on a computer. But the value you can get out of it is provided by people and systems that do something useful for you in exchange for it. And if something provides that value directly in communication with you, that's much the same as being paid digits on a computer.

In other words, are we so shallow we need to first pay for ChatGPT's output in money, and then it should pay us back the same money (or less) for our voices and data, in order to comprehend what a barter exchange of value is?
After all these recent shit regarding crypto currencies in the US, you don't need a full brain to figure out that there is a huge hole in the system.

What? It's my understanding Sam Altman was invited back to talk to the board, and Ilya is still employed there.
Once this is working, is there a simple way to switch voices with the default downloaded models? Or does this require downloading other models or generating them?
That’s a fair criticism. While it’s true that everybody does want “power”, there’s a distinction to be made between the personal agency that we all share (and often rightly seek more of), and the power to which I’m referring here.

It’s likely that the first type, of personal power, is included in the other type of power, but what is meant here by “power” is: you get to shape the future and make huge money doing it.

Regarding Ilya’s seemingly contradictory behavior, it appears more likely that he wasn’t really orchestrating the coup.

Instead, he was a pawn, manipulated by other interests to be the public face of the coup. These interests appealed to his ego and desire for more recognition and power within the company. Ilya’s perceived entitlement to a more significant role probably made him an easy target. So, it’s not accurate to say that Ilya orchestrated the coup.

It seems it was orchestrated by other key players on the board, primarily the backers behind the scenes. These backers likely include intelligence and policy security experts fronted by Helen (the AU-UK-China intelligence and security policy wonk axis), and those aligned with military-industrial interests, such as those represented by Tasha (RAND Corporation et al).

This coup had probably been planned for a while, with the goal of removing Sam who created obstacles to their plans. They tried to provoke him into a mistake, and when they believed they saw a moment of weakness, they executed their plan. However, the plan failed spectacularly.

For obvious reasons this would never probably be widely acknowledged, so it may be written up in some more niche blogs on use letters if anyone cares to do the investigative journalism.

As a result, as I previously stated it would be unwise to consider at face value The lies and presented as explanations for the coup, because of the power that is at stake.

Moreover, if you wish to gain a clearer understanding, consider the context into which the obvious players are in bedded.
Right. Next time you see an American arguing that we need vouchers, realize that this would greatly help redistribute where wealth is.
