This is a very good and much overlooked point. Engines don't look for tricks and traps that "might" work, they assume good play from the opponent. It's literally MiniMax (minimise the maximum the opponent can achieve), the foundational algorithm of chess AI. Consequently playing out superior positions against engines isn't as interesting as you might hope, it often feels they just give up. Grandmasters (and masters) on the other hand are absolutely awesome at tricking you out of your rightful reward on those odd occasions when you get a decent advantage against them (source: bitter experience:).

Where did you see that? It seems this is integrating two extensions together, I'm curious how that would work. I asked it "@gmail summarize my last 5 emails" and that worked decently.

Edit: Actually, I'm not completely certain how the "@<extension>" syntax works. Are the results limited to that app?
No, the compulsory process applies to FTC investigations in the area (it basically makes a form of administrative subpoena available in that context), it isn't something that is compulsory for doing business in the area.
> Human biodiversity is an empirical fact. Are some populations taller than other, on average? Is red hair more prevalent in certain populations? Pretty much nobody actually rejects the idea of human biodiversity.

> The neo reactionary types tend to draw specific conclusions from the idea of human biodiversity, like that racial disparities in IQ are inherent[...]

This is a classic motte-and-bailey. The IQ view is clearly the view that he is endorsing in the emails -- he is linking Steve Sailer's blog under "HBD is probably partially correct", and he even demands the recipient "NEVER TELL ANYONE I SAID THIS" -- obviously he's not talking about height.
> It should be obvious: power. But that also means that it doesn't matter what they say, because they'll lie to conceal that this was really a power play, driven by petty looking rivalries.

Am I the only one who finds these kinds of explanations unconvincing? I don't think anyone knows precisely what was going through Sutskever's mind on Friday, but whenever the best explanation people have for an event is that an obviously very smart person suddenly became very stupid, it gives me the feeling that we don't have all the information.
It's easy to find these things in retrospect. It could be that ethical breaches are common and it's easy to ascribe lapses and wrongdoing to someone after a scandal.

For the model to be useful we have to show it can be used to consistently predict scandals and wrongdoing before they happen and before others notice

No, I never said that her role is to "cheerlead". Refraining from public disparaging remarks is not a big ask for a board member. Especially if those thoughts were not first brought before the board, which is where such disputes should be resolved.

> Also I never said they had an 'advisory' board

From your comment: "...it's absolutely the role of advisory board members to continue their work".

Not sure how someone is meant to parse that except for you to imply that she was a member of an advisory board.

When Moldbug says HBD, he isn't saying "not all humans have exactly the same genes". HBD has a specific meaning in that context and the meaning is that some races are superior to others. That is specifically what Moldbug says when he talks about HBD, and SSC's author knows that well.
These aren't procedures to operate, this provides particular process within FTC investigations.

If you have a general prediction system, and somehow configure it to predict const, then it's still a general prediction system.

If it can only do const, then it's not.

So I see no problem with the consequences of your observation.

I'm not joking, I have an iPad Pro and the main reason why I NEVER use it is because EVERY time I pick it up and try to use it, the battery is completely drained. To the point, where you have to charge it for five minutes just so that you can power it up again.

In those five minutes I lose interest, so I don't use the iPad. At some point, I remove it from the charger. A week later, I pick it up again.... aaaaand it's dead again.

I prompted bard with "What is bard extensions?" and that was part of its response.
The word “prosocial” is enough of a neologism that it is missing in my autocorrect. Merriam-Webster thinks it means “intended to help or benefit another person or group”.

The word “prosocial” is never defined, or much less used, in the body of the text, only in the title and abstract. The Reader is left unable to understand how, or even whether, the cited studies meet the criteria to be “prosocial”. One person’s “prosocial” act, say eugenics, might be another person’s strongly antisocial act.

So we are left with a paper that resolves to “scientist-censors profess they are/were intending to do good”. This is, at best, a PR release or an apologist tract, not a scientific study.

There are loads of communities outside the GTA which are largely post-war and are still exceptionally bikable. Collingwood, Guelph, Orangeville, Owen Sound, Brantford - even Hamilton comes to mind. I don’t think Ontario is a great example of your heuristic here, if anything it demonstrates the opposite. Those cities are only bikable _because_ of the wide, smooth roads necessitated by cars.

Toner is unpopular on Twitter because a lot of people in Silicon Valley have a financial stake in OpenAI. For example, employees with equity have a strong financial incentive to discredit the board: https://nitter.net/JacquesThibs/status/1727134087176204410#m

Just because you're unpopular doesn't mean you're insane.
Until the EV infrastructure is developed to make owning an EV as easy as owning an internal combustion car, EVs will continue to be the unpopular choice.

That means EVs will have to be able to compete on their own merits, and not be given an unfair advantage with government subsidies.

I estimate at least another 30 years or more for EVs to be a worthwhile choice. Amazing how blind people are to the lack of EV infrastructure.

That's not what I recall. They didn't need to. The Loans for Shares Scheme became public knowledge (sort of) and everyone realized the oligarchs literally stole everything. Every major industry that millions had died to make in Stalin's five year plans with the promise of a coming utopia was the private property of those connected with Yeltsin. Fortunately for them, the people didn't understand capitalism enough to know what happened or they'd be rioting in the streets.

Besides explaining the haphazardness, that would also nicely explain why they didn't want to elaborate publicly on why they "had" to let him go -- "it was either him or us" wouldn't have been popular given his seeming popularity.
Since you quoted Wikipedia, why don't you take a look at Elon Musks's Wikipedia page, it says he is a founder. It is well known that he is a founder. And Altman's Wikipedia page says he is a funder of the company. The problem may be your interpretation of their announcement. As in, if you are a co-chair at founding then it is understood that you're a founder.
That’s wild. Is this limited to specific distribution channels or can you get them from anywhere?
> >Why don’t children leave the house?

> Because it's illegal in most of North America (especially when you consider where people actually live) for them to leave the house.

It is not illegal in most of North America, if you consider the USA (not sure about Canada/Mexico), only three states have laws that make it actually illegal. Consider:

> Washington doesn't have a state law that dictates whether children can or can't be left at home that's dependent on age, according to Seattle-based law firm Elise Buie Family Law. In nearby Oregon, though, the law states the child must be at least 10 years old to be home alone.

Or California, which has alot of people:

> In the state of California, there is no legal age stipulated on when a child can be left home alone or allowed to walk outside alone. There is a law, however, that children 6 years old and younger cannot be left alone in a car.

So for the west continental coast we have Oregon until 10...and in California if a car isn't involved no constraint. Oregon is just one of three states with actual laws on the books:

> Three states legally require kids to be of a certain minimum age to be left on their own for some time: Illinois (14 years old) Oregon (10 years old) Maryland (8 years old)

I'm not sure Maryland is being unreasonable here, but Illinois and Oregon probably are.

It's a combination of things, really. Underground is about twice as expensive as above-ground, harder to maintain and repair, and pretty much impossible to upgrade.

A lot of the medium-voltage stuff is already underground in some areas. All new 50kV-150kV stuff has been going underground for decades, and the stuff remaining above-ground just hasn't reached its replacement age yet. Despite its drawbacks, above-ground is unpopular enough that burying them is worth it.

However, the high-voltage stuff (220kV & 380kV) is still almost entirely above-ground. Those cables are extremely difficult to construct, and anything beyond a dozen miles or so simply isn't technically possible yet.

I think probiotic foods (i.e. insoluble fiber) are about as good as probiotic ones if you're already good and looking to stay on track. Start slow though, shocking the system with fiber can be problematic.

Again, you're drawing very explicit conclusions from a few sentences. Racial disparities in IQ are indeed observed, but it's highly contentious over whether these are due to environmental factors like education and nutrition or inherent. That Asians have score higher IQs on average than whites in the US is an empirical observation. But it's also known that IQ can be increased by studying, and Asians study about twice as much as white people in childhood [1].

Scott is acknowledging that the taboo to even recognize these disparities is counterproductive: it stymied attempts to improve schooling or studying practices, because it's taboo to even recognize that there is a difference and instead people typically allege that the tests are biased. Would Scott argue that with identical environmental factors we'd still see the same disparities in IQ across ethnic groups? I don't think so, and nothing in the emails linked seem to suggest this.

"products and services that use or claim to be produced using artificial intelligence (AI)..."

Interesting test of whether we suddenly see a decline in the number of products claiming to have or be produced using AI. Probably not until/unless the FTC actually starts using these powers in a significant way.

By the way, I don't mean cases where AI was used, lying about it, I mean cases where nothing meriting the term "artificial intelligence" was used, but they have been stretching the term so they can use the latest buzzword in advertising.

I think it's fine as long as one isn't sharing a long ChatGPT answer here verbatim. That tends to be pretty annoying (since we could just ask ChatGPT ourselves if we wanted to).

If OpenAI themselves chose to distinguish between founder and co-chair, then I really dunno what else to tell ya.

All those are private options for tourists and natural clients for Cadela; they explicitly want to go after the Commuter ferries 80, 82, 83, 89 [0]

Each of those lines has a dozen boats to guarantee frequent service. Including the private options you listed, there are more than 100 boats in Stockholm alone, with 30 passengers or more.

Every city in Scandinavia would likely want something similar; some (Olso, Copenhagen, Helsinki) already have a boat network for commuters and tourists, but every city on that list [1] has a bus network, is around a body of water, and would interested in a non-polluting option.

I’d be surprised if they couldn’t sell thousands for public transport in the region alone — let alone lakes in the Alps, shuttles in the Mediterranean and more.

Yeah, they kind of are really liked ... by the service maintainers who don't have to do the front end work to tell the bad news.

The article seems to gloss over that part, which is understandable, because it's probably targeted at... service coders.

So how does this work on the front end? One way or another you're communicating to the user that the company/service isn't up to their expectations, SLA be damned.

It also gets into the classic issue of queuing requests and dedicating resources. Imagine this: you have 100 customers, but 10% of them take 5-10x longer to serve than the others. This is pretty common. Like airline checkin or border crossings, some people will take 2 minutes, some 20 minutes.

But... if you don't have any way of keeping a service handler dedicated to fast queries, all the slow bombs will saturate your workers. So even though one or tow of five service workers could service 80% of the work load quickly, if you can't identify the fast requests from the slow ones and keep a fast track for the fast ones, you're service descends to a response time of handling the worse cases (assuming they are frequent just... enough).

Circuit breaking doesn't really help that.
We shipped a shader cache in the latest release of OBS and quickly had reports come in that the cached data was invalid. After investigating, the cache files were the correct size on disk but the contents were all zero. On a journaled file system this seems like it should be impossible, so the current guess is that some users have SSDs that are ignoring flushes and experience data corruption on crash / power loss.
