that seems like a them problem, not a me problem. If they accept that as an ID, and then are defrauded for money why can than them make that my problem?

> Another business model would be some kind of group subscription to all the major papers and magazines. They could keep track of whose articles I read and distribute my payment among themselves.

I believe this is the future. Not only for traditional newspapers and magazines, but for all written content of quality online. Massive syndicates of blogs and websites under common subscription umbrellas. Like video streaming is today. Let's end this online nightmare of ads, scams, SEO, freeloading and clickbait!

There's PressReader already today, but at $30 per month, it is too pricey for most. Readly is a whole lot cheaper for a smaller catalogue, but suffers from having an extremely bad user experience. I think most people would be interested in mainly news and independent blogs. What sane individual reads stuff like Rolling Stone or Vogue?

> In the absence of micropayments or group subscriptions, I pay for one major publication, bypass paywalls on the rest, and feel like I've done my bit. If everyone did the same, then with a reasonably random distribution the publications would all be getting paid.

Agreed.

You are counting the runtime size. That is shared between all apps that use the same runtime. As I already had it installed for another app, the download size for the dosbox flatpak on my fedora machine was 1.6MB.

I also recommend installing flatseal to easily see and manage file access permissions of flatpak apps.

No, they didn't imply it, and they didn't claim it was the primary motivation. They just said it was a contributor. You are perceiving a stronger claim than they made.
The January 6 people, like most Americans (and even more so: observers of America), realize what "democracy" is described/implied to be, is not what it actually is: a mirage, an illusion, a magic act. And their.....unique personality types did not prevent them from doing "the right thing", which is to simply complain about it endlessly online, expecting the illusion to fix itself, to put itself out of business.

What resulted was a hilarious debacle of course, but at least they're trying.
Ideology is in the eyes of the beholder, not in the product or personal.

That's an interesting question. It actually provides a nice way to parallelized training: Pretrain e.g. the first 3 branch levels, which effectively fragments the model into 8 separate parts, which you can continue training across 8 independent servers/nodes with no further communication between the nodes. A central server would run the 1st 3 levels and mark parts of the training set that each node has to train on. Maybe you could do this for the whole network and distribute the training in SETI@HOME style all over the world.

Hold on, you don't even need to freeze the branches completely: each node could train 1 branch on the path to its leaf node and communicate a change in the branch node to a central server, so you can distribute training without having to pre-freeze the branches. Still would need some pre-training though, and the splits would change slowly, and the attention mechanism could complicate things.

Currently distributed neural network training SETI@HOME style looks like a complete pipe dream that nobody is taking seriously. But a smart branching mechanism like this could suddenly make it possible. Folding@home reached 1.5 exaflops, which made it the world's largest supercomputer. Imagine the models we could train that way, they would far surpass whatever OpenAI or Google could train and would be public.

Two Corporate Executives Convicted in First-Ever Criminal Prosecution for Failure to Report Under Consumer Product Safety Act

On Nov. 16, a Los Angeles jury convicted two corporate executives of conspiracy and failure to report information related to defective residential dehumidifiers that had been linked to multiple fires.

Simon Chu, 68, of Chino Hills, California, and Charley Loh, 65, of Arcadia, California, were convicted of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and failure to furnish information as required by the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).

The defective dehumidifiers sold by Chu and Loh’s two corporations were included in multiple recalls of a larger number of defective dehumidifiers manufactured by Gree Electric Appliances Inc. of Zhuhai (Gree Zhuhai) in China. According to the recall notices, more than 450 reported fires and millions of dollars in property damage have been linked to the recalled Gree Zhuhai dehumidifiers.

Historic Criminal Verdicts Against Executives for Failing to Report Fire Hazards to CPSC

Corporate executives are on notice: It can be a crime not to tell CPSC when your products put consumers at unreasonable risk of death or serious injury—you must share that information with CPSC immediately.

Two former executives of Gree USA Inc. now face possible incarceration. On November 16, 2023, a jury returned guilty verdicts against former CAO Simon Chu and CEO Charley Loh for conspiracy to defraud the CPSC and for knowingly and willfully failing to report what they knew about their defective, fire-prone dehumidifiers. A jury found that they knew their dehumidifiers were defective, dangerous, and could catch fire. The executives also knew that they were required to immediately report the product safety information to CPSC. If CPSC had known about the hazard sooner, it’s possible that at least four deaths from house fires would have been prevented.

These are the first-ever criminal verdicts against executives for failing to report information to CPSC. The use of this powerful deterrent should send the message that when bad actors endanger people by hiding critical safety information, they will be met with unwavering pursuit and severe consequences. This knowledge should deter other executives from withholding the information CPSC needs to protect the American public.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that. The issue isn't the idea that we want to engage in altruism in the most effective way we can, the issue is the EA movement.
> and that the premise itself is incorrect since "OpenAI" is not a charity

OpenAI is a 501c3 charity nonprofit, and the OpenAI board under discussion is the board of that charity nonprofit.

OpenAI Global LLC is a for-profit subsidiary of a for-profit subsidiary of OpenAI, both of which are controlled, by their foundational agreements that gie them legal existence, by a different (AFAICT not for-profit but not legally a nonprofit) LLC subsidiary of OpenAI (OpenAI GP LLC.)

I agree with that, but I think it's fairly easy to assume they have a policy of deliberately targeting journalists, the citizenship probably didn't come into play in the decision.
You say that, but you'd say the same about, e.g. The New York Times, and my wife's org has to contact them multiple times a year for using images without permission. They always pay up, but they keep doing it! Khan Academy is another big violator.

Co-producing warplanes is as good as a treaty. Right in front of leaders visiting each others’ capitals.

Bottom line is India never courted the West. Pakistan did. Neither drove the other into anyone’s arms; American relations in Pakistan were focussed on the Middle East, India’s in the Soviets with China. When the theatre shifted to India v Pakistan, the table was already set and everyone assumed their places.
> the intel was American SIGINT, Ottawa wouldn’t have the authority to unilaterally release it.

They havent released any details of how they knew, we learned it was US from journalism. If they violated our sovereignty we have a right to know the details. The Indian gov can figure out they were wiretapped already. If ever there was grounds for releasing sensitive Intel this was it.

When the Saudis killed that journalist it was revealed that Turkey had microphones inside their embassy. This is not some huge deal to reveal espionage of other agencies when the stakes are so high.

I’m not sure what sort of evidence you think they’ll suddenly discover 6 months later which justifies not explaining the details which cause them to make the accusation in the first place.

I don’t get how they can’t tell the public what the Indian gov specifically did but it was worth imposing the consequences of making the accusations public?
We run thousands of Linux desktop workstations from low-end workstations for developers to dual-socket machines with >1TB of memory at work. That's primarily because productivity for our use cases is so much higher with a Linux/Unix environment than Windows that it's not even remotely funny. However, almost all users still have either the standard corporate-issue Windows laptop, or a Windows VM on their workstation. Practically exclusively for Desktop Excel-based administrative tasks.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of our userbase likes their Linux workstations far better than their Windows machines, and that's after experiencing the significant downgrade to Gnome desktops due to Red Hat removing KDE.
Yeah man I have considered the no government thing which is why I am an anarchist. An actual one, not one that wants to replace the existing systems of state power with the even less restrained systems of capital power.
Speaks more to a fundamental misalignment between societal good and technological progress. The narrative (first born in the Enlightenment) about how reason, unfettered by tradition and nonage, is our best path towards happiness no longer holds. AI doomerism is an expression of this breakdown, but without the intellectual honesty required to dive to the root of the problem and consider whether Socrates may have been right about the corrupting influence of writing stuff down instead of memorizing it.

What's happening right now is people just starting to reckon with the fact that technological progress on it's own is necessarily unaligned with human interests. This problem has always existed, AI just makes it acute and unavoidable since it's no longer possible to invoke the long-tail of "whatever problem this fix creates will just get fixed later". The AI alignment problem is at it's core a problem of reconciling this, and it will inherently fail in absence of explicitly imposing non-Enlightenment values.

Seeking to build openAI as a nonprofit, as well as ousting Altman as CEO are both initial expressions of trying to reconcile the conflict, and seeing these attempts fail will only intensity it. It will be fascinating to watch as researchers slowly come to realize what the roots of the problem are, but also the lack of the social machinery required to combat the problem.

From what I see in their docs [0], you can either record samples directly from their hardware, or use a web tool [1] using Web MIDI (!) to update them. Guessing from the Web MIDI use, probably should be easy to create open tools or even load that page offline to update its samples.

All of the comments on this post that include numbers show that using both is better than just one or the other, mostly when the code’s sufficiently large.

I agree with the recommendation of one good compression algorithm vs combining multiple in general, but is it possible that you hadn’t considered that this is a case where we have a very good lossless compression (gzip) that can get benefits when combined with a lossy compression (minification)? As wonderful as Huffman codings can be, it’s hard to compete with outright throwing “unnecessary” (to many users, maybe not OP and some of us) data away.
There are no emergent properties, just a linear increase in knowledge that can be retrieved.

- It can't plan

- It can't do arithmetic

- It can't reason

- It can approximately retrieve knowledge with a natural language query (there are some issues with this, but it's very good)

- It can encode data into natural languages and other modalities

I'm not worried about it, I am worried about how badly people have misunderstood what it can do and then attempted to use it for things that matter.

But I'm not surprised.
you know, you're right, an optional audio capcha alongside these could work quite well. I stand corrected !

It's not about about having "nice things" or affordability for me. I try to minimize upgrades mainly out of concern for e-waste and other externalities of manufacture, and because setting up the environment on new hardware is a time sink. Picking appropriate hardware for a use case is also part of that. I won't buy a threadripper workstation to game & watch YouTube on, for instance. It's okay to be passionate about responsible spending, too.
