Business meetings, everyday lunches and dinners, celebrations, crazy weekend nightouts, even weekday evenings. And ofcourse fancy kafanas and local cheap kafanas differ greatly in clientele. Source I am from here.

When the party gets going in a kafana its such a unique experience you cant find anywhere else. People start dancing on the tables and chairs, live music blasting, everyones drunk and loves eachother. People start smashing plates on the floor. Also you tip the gypsy musicians by sticking banknotes on their foreheads haha. I moved out about 10 years ago to the US and I terribly miss this.

No, it's not an attack on privacy, it's an attempt to block criminal activity and funding terrorism. The effect is that you can't have full financial privacy.

I worked on financial and messaging privacy tech and cryptography. I came to the conclusion that there were very few genuine and good reasons for complete anonymity and privacy in finance. This doesn't mean that everything should be completely public, but equally everything being completely hidden is not a desirable state for society either, unless you are a criminal.
“These iron memories persist for at least four generations and disappear by the seventh generation.”

Make note that for example “when well fed, E. coli bacteria divide once every 20 minutes”[1], making that iron memory last for 80 to 140 minutes. Though that may still be longer than it takes them to discard a plasmid (genetic “loose change” on e.g. immunity resistance) when competing for reproductive speed.

This is the abandoning of ethics. No one moving forward is going to be thinking about it and they've clearly signaled it's about making money. People that have issues with it will just not use the products or be hypocrites about using the products. There is nothing to push up against anymore, but I don't think the recent events are initiator. People were already letting go of ethics the moment they continued using it because the tech was so cool. The parting of the ethical peoples is just the final nail. There is no reason to remove these ethical teams if they believe in ethics, downsize maybe but not dedicating a human to at least researching the ethical outcomes sure isn't very good for humanity ethics concerns.
So now Go has a single good feature!
That doesn't sound credible or revealing. It's regurgitating a bunch of speculation stuff that's been said on this forum and in the media.
FWIW, that's called zealotry and people do a lot of dramatic, disruptive things in the name of it.

That would be a really bad take on climate change.
True, but that trace here is missing. There is no link apart from "Mead said something vaguely utopian", and that doesn't even seem specific for technology. In 1939, technology was not the most threatening thing.
The bubble op referred to is not a particular place or lifestyle.

The bubble, in this context, is the average/representative lifestyle and parenting depicted in lifestyle journalism/blogging space. The proverbial TED abstraction.

No, we are far, far from skynet. So far AI fails at driving a car.

AI is an incredibly powerful tool for spreading propaganda, and thatvis used by people who want to kill you and your loved ones (usually radicals trying to get into a position of power, who show little regard fornbormal folks regardless of which "side" they are on). That's the threat, not Skynet...

No, your comparison is probably not what you're trying to say, since wheelchair-bound people have vastly different capabilities than the bipedal population. Unless you're trying to say women have different capabilities, which is true, but probably not the point you want to make.
for money laundering, few use binance. Everyone uses wallet to walllet USDT transfer. If US is serious about money laundering, they should ban USDT and the like.
This is not true, you just haven't tried the alternatives enough to be disappointed in them.

An unaligned base model doesn't answer questions at all and is hard to use for anything, including evil purposes. (But it's good at text completion a sentence at a time.)

An instruction-tuned not-RLHF model is already largely friendly and will not just eg tell you to kill yourself or how to build a dirty bomb, because question answering on the internet is largely friendly and "aligned". So you'd have to tune it to be evil as well and research and teach it new evil facts.

It will however do things like start generating erotica when it sees anything vaguely sexy or even if you mention a woman's name. This is not useful behavior even if you are evil.

You can try InstructGPT on OpenAI playground if you want; it is not RLHFed, it's just what you asked for, and it behaves like this.

The one that isn't even instruction tuned is available too. I've found it makes much more creative stories, but since you can't tell it to follow a plot they become nonsense pretty quickly.

Why would you say it’s a con job? The settlement is for not enforcing money loundering restrictions, not conning or scamming people. Binance seems to be reputable and hasn’t done any shady things with customer funds, as far as I know.
Simpson’s paradox. The causal axis is (more strongly) positive for career success, but the informative axis is negative for the choice to pursue economic mobility through a career versus family. In simple terms, more attractive women are more likely to marry rich and neglect career success, while the number of men that pursue this strategy is much lower.

Reminder that statistics are only accurate for exactly the question asked. We have a bad habit of assuming that we correctly asked the question that we are actually interested in.
> It doesn't really matter. You can start with a big change initially as a 'big thinker'. You just have to break it down afterwards.

But that's extremely difficult I think and requires some out of the box extreme creative thinking on how to split it up after the fact. And I would also think it doesn't help at all.

I usually like to imagine how I build the new feature in head. Then I vomit out whole bunch of code, but I feel like splitting it up is extremely difficult and it will just lose context of why I did something as I did.

E.g. if I split it in a way where I only show shared components, it won't be understandable why I made them shared in certain way because you won't see the actual other logic that uses them, so reviewers are kind of left to trust that these will be used in later PRs.

And I think the way you make things reusable is likely the most important part because there's a fine balance there, you don't want to make everything too reusable that is not intended to be reusable, but at the same time you want to make it as reusable as possible considering the future, and it will take a lot of thinking to understand future implications. A reviewer won't have understanding of the reasoning without going through the process themselves on how something might be reused.

There's a lot of disagreement as well on how DRY you exactly have to be. Some people follow the rule of write it 3 times then refactor to be reusable, some want to do it immediately, etc. And having shared components first no one knows what is going on.

And then if they were to criticise my shared logic, and they want me to change anything, which could even be a change they request because of misunderstanding I will have to change all the other logic down the other PRs as well.
If I'm writing JS for something as simple as removing an element, then I can keep writing. Alpine.js would make more sense in that case.
>The existing board is just a seat-warming body until Altman and Microsoft can stack it with favorables to their (and the U.S. Government’s) interests.

That's incorrect. The new members will be chosen by D'Angelo and the two new independent board members. Both of which D'Angelo had a big hand in choosing.

I'm not saying Larry Summers etc going to be in D'Angelo's pocket. But the whole reason he agreed to those picks is because he knows they won't be in Sam's pocket, either. More likely they will act independently and choose future members that they sincerely believe will be the best picks for the nonprofit.
My immediate assumption was that Chicago has a high Polish population, not necessarily that it's any different from other Polish American ones.

edit: It would appear so:

> Chicago is a city sprawling with Polish culture, billing itself as the largest Polish city outside of Poland, with approximately 185,000 Polish speakers, making Polish the third most spoken language in Chicago.
How is employees protecting themselves is suddenly a bad thing? There's no idiots at OpenAI.
The Technologyreview article mentioned in the parent’s first paragraph is the most insightful piece of content I’ve read about the tensions inside OpenAI.
The thing I always find strange in these discussions is that they seem to frame people who chase "money, power, fame, success, ego etc." as not acting ethically.

It's interesting I think because all of the above have ethics in my experience. What they don't do is treat their ethics with the same sense of supremism as the vocal activists/advocates who frame everything unaligned with their view critically. And if you show even a little compromise that too gets treated as a lack of ethics in that people will at the very least view it as the money winning out over personal beliefs.

The idea that someone can be legitimately ethical without being an extremist about the matter is largely unacknowledged by the vocal ethicists. But in a way that also makes sense because from their view the silence is probably just more room to criticize in the conversation.

I wonder if this has ever been said truthfully?
In my first frontend interview at 18, the interviewer tested me on the most basic thing. He could have asked more difficult questions that I might have had the answer to, but instead he asked about markup.

“In this first line of HTML it says <!doctype html>, what will happen if we remove it and why?”

Unfortunately, it discouraged me at that age to try again for a long time, but it stuck with me.

Nah, a number do, including Sam himself and the entire leadership.

They just have different ideas about one or more of: how likely another team is to successfully charge ahead while ignoring safety, how close we are to AGI, how hard alignment is.

I can see how ridicule of this specific instance could be the best medicine for an optimal outcome, even by a utilitarian argument, which I generally don't like to make by the way. It is indeed nigh impossible, which is kind of my point. They could have shown more humility. If anything, this whole debacle has been a moral victory for e/acc, seeing how the brightest of minds are at a loss dealing with alignment anyway.

Yeah the board is kind of pointless now.

They can't control the CEO, neither fire him.

They can't take actions to take back the back control from Microsoft and Sam because Sam is the CEO. Even if Sam is of the utmost morality, he would be crazy to help them back into a strong position after last week.

So it's the Sam & Microsoft show now, only a master schemer can get back some power to the board.
When you consider they were acting under the threat of the entire company walking out and the threat of endless lawsuits, this is a remarkably mild capitulation. All the new board members are going to be chosen by D'Angelo and two new board members that he also had a big hand in choosing.

And say what you want about Larry Summers, but he's not going to be either Sam's or even Microsoft's bitch.

SUVs should be banned. They are much more likely to kill when hitting pedestrians and cyclists. No reason for oversize overweight vehicles in our public spaces. Its a public health hazard.
You're happy there is reasoned discussion, but the idea is, in your view, "regressive" whether it's true or not?
A main concern in AI safety is alignment. Ensuring that when you use the AI to try to achieve a goal that it will actually act towards that goal in ways you would want, and not in ways you would not want.

So for example if you asked Sydney, the early version of the Bing LLM, some fact it might get it wrong. It was trained to report facts that users would confirm as true. If you challenged it’s accuracy what do you want to happen? Presumably you’d want it to check the fact or consider your challenge. What it actually did was try to manipulate, threaten, browbeat, entice, gaslight, etc, and generally intellectually and emotionally abuse the user into accepting its answer, so that it’s reported ‘accuracy’ rate goes up. That’s what misaligned AI looks like.
If your ClickHouse ReplacingMergeTree returns twice the expected row count is because your query is wrong. You don’t need to FINAL it, just use aggregation on your queries as per their docs
Honest question, but in your example above of Sam and Greg racing towards AGI as fast as possible in order to head off proliferation, what's the end goal when getting there? Short of capture the entire worlds economy with an ASI, thus preventing anyone else from developing one, I don't see how this works. Just because OpenAI (or whoever) wins the initial race, it doesn't seem obvious to me that all development on other AGIs stops.
The answer to that question is always "yes", regardless what "this" is.

Diffusion models for moving images are already used to a limited extent for this. And I'm sure it will be the use case, not just an edge case.
> the Serbian ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims and Bosnian Croats

We've just seen a massive, 150k people ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh and nobody in the whole world went so far as lifting a finger to stop it. Except Russia, which did lift one of its fingers but that was it.

It happened this autumn.

But yeah, let's pretend that NATO is in business of preventing ethnic cleansings around the world, as opposed to ruining countries it doesn't like for profit. And BTW, what happened to Krajina Srpska?
The gut-brain Axis is definitely underappreciated. Scientifically and otherwise.
> This isn't about cryptocurrency, it's about 'mixing services' for cryptocurrency.

It's the "services" based on cryptocurrency and blockchain that I'm talking about, that are claimed to be clever but actually just reinvented illegal stuff. Not sure why you think a semantic debate is the best attack against me.

> Cryptocurrency is / was 'new and clever'

I said "cryptocurrency people invented something new and clever", not the invention of cryptocurrency itself.

Cryptocurrency is a neat idea, that has yet to have a legal application where it's better than the alternative. But I'm talking about all the other nonsense. The worst being "land registry on the blockchain".

> Something "new" about cryptocurrency is that it's a currency that lies outside the control of any government.

It's not. It's outside the control of monetary policy, sure, but the government can definitely throw you in jail for whatever arbitrary laws they make. So anything and everything can be controlled by the government.

Madoff got away with with it his ponzi scheme for a long time. The government didn't find out. And yet ponzi schemes are not outside the control of governments.

If cryptocurrency were made illegal world wide tomorrow, then it would join stuff like CSAM and drunk driving. Control is not an all or nothing deal.

GIT is a tool. Like a swiss army knife, it looks tricky and you need some experience to master all what it provides. But you never actually need everything and, surely, you should also shy away from features if you do not really need them. In this respect GIT is a bit like Perl or C++. You have to apply some discipline to avoid unnecessary complexity. Personally, I have never used GIT's "octopus" merge support but I am sure in some situation it may well be a useful feature to have. So I respect that while scratching my head. ;)

Those are basically all commands I am really ever using:

git status

git add

git rm

git commit

git branch

git checkout -t -b ...

git merge

Learn those and you'll mostly good to go.

Sure, I could to rebase my branches all day and make sure my version history looks "pretty" but I find obsessing with the commit history is a major source of complexity people face when using git. Another usual source of confusion is the branching model. However, that totally depends on your organization. GIT is flexible enough to support all kinds of weird development processes but if it comes over as complicated then don't put the blame on the tool but on its users.
>This has nothing to do with Summers being an economist and everything to do with the fact that he used to run the parent agency of the IRS.

It has literally nothing to do with that. The reason he's on the board now is because D'Angelo wanted him on it. You could have a problem with that, but you can't use his inclusion as evidence that the board lost.

Dr. Condor, in Stefan Zweig's novel "Beware of Pity":

"""
Don’t you know the medical tricks we play? When we don’t know what to do ourselves, we play for time, we keep patients occupied with chatter and little activities so that they won’t notice how baffled we are. Luckily for us, an invalid’s own nature is usually our ally.

Of course she feels better!

Any kind of treatment, eating lemons or drinking milk, cold-water treatment or hot-water treatment, will bring about an initial change in the organism and provide a stimulus that the ever-optimistic patient takes for improvement. That kind of auto-suggestion is our best assistant; it even helps the biggest fools among us doctors.

But there’s a snag—as soon as the charm of novelty has worn off, reaction will set in, and then you have to switch your approach in a hurry, pretend there’s a new treatment, and so we doctors manipulate our approach in really severe cases until perhaps the real, right method of treatment is found.

C is still an industry standard in so many fields.
I can guaratee you that C is not dying soon.

Also C3 is not a clone of C, it is an evolution, where the syntax is kept similar.

Saying that the syntax is not intuitive is a subjective topic, a lot of people (myself included) find C syntax much more intuitive than newer languages.

About Zig, I haven't tested it yet, but I want to experiment with it when I have time.
And about Rust, I tried it, and, at least to me, it is even more confusing.

Anyway, I like to encourage people to try different languages, even if you go back to a classic or a newer one, the experience obtained thinking different for the problems, or even developing the language to tackle those problems is invaluable.
If you know that putting four wheels on a car works better than putting three wheels on a car, that doesn't make you biased against three wheels. It makes you biased towards better results.
