This has happened on twitter since at least 2017 afaik. I couldn't really ever load a tweet linked on say, Reddit, without it happening. I think it's intentional (to lock you out if you don't have an account I think) and not just an error. Refreshing usually works though.

Right, true, or some kind of priority queue.
It seems both kinds are just the same with different magnitude. Even if ChatGPT is that far away from AGI it passes yesterday's Turing tests with ease.

While some Skynet-like dystopia indeed seems very far away and might never happen for practical reasons even with a full-blown AGI - people can agree on things offline, the A(G)I can't. So it seems narrow-scoped issues are the real worst-case and apply to non-general AI. And that's safety, employment topics and related economic issues...
In my lifetime there’s been a significant reduction (over 20%) in the rate of cancer deaths each year, car accident fatalities, and CO2 production in the US which has mostly been through better technology and therefore able to spread.

Globally not everything has improved everywhere but generally people are much better in both major and less obvious ways. The global literacy rate in 1980 was 68.8% and by 2020 it reached 86.8%. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/WLD/world/literacy-rat...

If you think of it not as a "rename" (which would belong in the edge object if it existed) but rather as a "note: the file A in this tree was known as B in the parent tree" it would make perfect sense to store it in the child commit.
Youtube still works as normal (no ads, no problems) for me with the latest Firefox and uBlock Origin.
No it won't. set -e is implicit disabled for the first command with && and ||. Same for a command after if/while/until and after !.
It should only matter if you implicit return immediately after.

$ bash -ec 'if [ 1 = 2 ]; then echo true; fi; echo $?'
0
$ bash -ec '[ 1 = 2 ] && echo true; echo $?'
1

In both cases it does not quite and execute the last echo.
I'm a tall and large person, while i don't think that particular service would cater to me anyway, i once spent a day and a half running around hong kong to try to find a store that had anything remotely in the ballpark of my size. If you land in certain countries on a long holiday weekend, might also be difficult to find shops open. I'd go with 99% of situations : - P
Yes, but no.

The big cost saver is doing one design, mass-mass-mass producing it, and then limiting its functionality per market segment.
It's not about the likelihood of it happening, it is about the principle of it being possible and it happening to anybody in the first place. On the plus side: those complaining were actually supporting the system until it bit them so that's about a powerful a wake-up call as there probably will be. Unfortunately it doesn't generalize well because everybody else thinks: 'oh, that fortunately wasn't me that got bitten'.
How do you “pull the plug” on a datacenter, or on all of the cloud providers if the ASI has processes running everywhere? Given that anyone with a credit card can already achieve robust multi-region deployments, it doesn’t seem hard for an ASI to make itself very hard to “turn off”.

Alternatively an ASI can ally with a group of humans to whom it can credibly promise wealth and power. If you think there is a baby machine god in your basement that is on your side, you’ll fight to protect it.

Definitely not a well known product name, as someone who plays PC games and also does some CUDA development, I've never heard of this product from Nvidia.
OpenAI's directors have been anything but open. What the hell happened?
Is it bold? What percentage of all of our modern infrastructure is from the benevolence of philanthropists?? I am sure it's not zero, but I can't imagine it being a majority... But please enlighten me. For "billionaires know best what to do with all that wealth, they'll take care of us" sounds an awful lot like what sbf was preaching.

GPT-4 has entered the chat
If someone showed you the progression of GPT-2 -> GPT-3, and then informed you that they were going to train a new model with 100x the compute and tons more high quality data, what would you expect this model to be able to do? And how would it compare to the GPT-4 that we actually got?

I think that while GPT-4 is very impressive and a useful tool, seeing the jump, or lack thereof in the places that I expected, between GPT-3 and GPT-4 resulted in me lengthening my timeline.
I reinterpret Chomsky

This is actually what I started thinking when I got to the end of the article. Maybe just immediate human snatch and grab cynicism.

That the author hired somebody to dump review, does something fishy with money like those above noted, and then sues for more money.

Levine over at Bloomberg had an interesting article where ransomware gangs are now filing SEC reports, as a way to pressure companies to pay, or minimize ROI.
This makes no sense. These companies dictate what you see, when you see it and how you see it. They are just not throwing their weight around as much as they could yet. But if Google decides that your website no longer exists it effectively doesn't exist any more.

Same here (I also use EFF Privacy Badger though). Also not getting ads with Chromium and uBlock Origin.

Could this be a country-specific thing?
From the article:

> One chemical used in some anti-cancer drugs, for example, costs pharmaceutical companies $3,200 per gram — 50 times more than a gram of gold. The UCLA researchers devised an inexpensive way to produce this drug molecule from a chemical costing just $3 per gram.

They are comparing the cost of the drug with the cost of the metal. They are totaly unrelated. Like comparing the cost of a I7 microprocesor with the cost of the iron to make the screws of the computer case.

My guess is that this development is interesting, but the cost of the catalyzers is a small part of the cost of the drug. They are not going to reduce the cost of the drug x1000 overnight.

Wow, I'll have what he's having for confidence.

On the other hand, open-source photography and bitmap editing is still waiting for its own Blender or Godot and I applaud anyone willing to have a go at it. What's available (GIMP, RawTherapee, darktable, ...) can mostly sort of get the job done, but if you're the kind of person who seeks relaxation, pleasure and aesthetics in photography, the open-source software feels just too geeky, too unfocused, too unrefined.

I'm currently on DxO + Affinity and even though they cost quite a lot of money, I'd probably shoot and enjoy the whole thing significantly less if I had darktable and GIMP waiting at home.
I think it does, https://github.com/ololx/sbc-bitpool-expander
Sadly QT designer is still a complete trainwreck that doesn't seem to have been updated in a decade. It's so sad because it could be very very useful, but the entire way it works just makes it hard to use. Adding widgets is messy, using them in code is messy, there's no way to combine both and see the results, the way you handle/modify the objects themselves is super unwieldy... it's no wonder why desktop GUIs are getting overtaken by web based apps.
Well first, no one racing to get the cheapest pays $150/hour. You pay $150/hour for someone with unique expertise.

You wash, irrigate, and provide prophylactic antibiotics but shit happens, this was a very unfortunate case especially as there was no implant.

Seems like the problem is that "programming as a career" often means "waiting". All the process stuff he mentions is (personally) fine with me, it's just that you often have no agency over when it happens. Everything requires permission. Or there's "no budget for it".
Surely it's possible to block the paths to the ad on the site itself.
I assume you're a therian?

I don't experience either gender or species dysphoria, but that seems like a way to "cure" species dysphoria, unlike gender dysphoria which is actually workable. I know a few therians and really feel for them, having such a condition and not being able to do much of anything doesn't sound like a fun existence.
They already do a poll thing where they ask "which of the following brands have you seen ads for recently?"
The only times I've put up with ads so far is when casting to my TV.

I don't mind the ad recommendations on home and after a video, but having to watch an extended ad or 2 before a video, and continuosly throughout the video, is enough for me to get off YouTube as an entertainment platform.

Still useful for tutorials, but that much advertising makes the experience completely unenjoyable. Doubly so if the ad has to be "skipped" or else will run for 3 minutes, and I'm in the middle of something with hands occupied (cooking, working out...)
And yet GPT optimizes for anything but efficiency, but it's great because it's so conversational.
The entire point of Rust is that even in the most critical projects with the best tools and very experienced programmers, writing memory-safe C code in complex systems is extremely difficult.

I simply do not get my "evidence" from known conspiracy theorists or sites known to be funded by them. If you really want to go to these bubbles, you might as well find sources claiming evidence for the exact opposite. But as of today there exists no credible, vetted evidence to support either side.
I sometimes get blocked but refreshing the ads and quickfixes lists on ublock solves it every time
It isn't Apple's hardware. It's your hardware. You bought it.
I don't get why people have no problem paying for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc but are so stubborn about YouTube in particular, when myself and I know many others watch more YouTube than any streaming service.

Even when ad blocking extensions work, it's only for browsers. If you're on Android you can install hacky modified apks, but YouTube breaks them every once in a while and then you're waiting for an update and having to go through some patching process again (I have to do this with YouTube Vanced to watch YouTube on the cheap Kindle Fire I use exclusively for YouTube in bed). If you're watching on a smart TV YouTube app or Apple TV or something... I assume there's options, but you're again gonna be wasting so much time on maintenance and keeping things up to date in the ad-blocking arms race, I'd rather just pay. And I don't know why anyone should expect YouTube to be infinitely ad-free and payment-free forever. All that storage and data transfer ain't free.

Far from it that I'll defend Google, but I don't know what's so special about YouTube where it's the one service people use more than anything else they pay for, but they won't pay for it.

Yep that's what I'm saying
True but SOMA itself contradicts your statement since there is a point where you continue playing as a "backup" and it even takes a moment for the character to realize what happened. The copy doesn't feel like he's a copy.
Gary Marcus is a grifter and should be ignored.
C++ class enums are perfectly fine, it's just the old style C enums that are awful.
There's a narrow window of "has ponies" and "has to care for the ponies" that learns those lessons.
I think it could be one of those 'grass-is-greener' scenarios. Steel is really nice to work with. It's strong and elastic and you can do all sorts of things to alter its properties, like even in a home shop.

Titanium always looks really hard to work with, just from the few times I've seen youtube types get some into their lathe chucks.

Would the added (in some ways just different) performance make up the difference? No idea. I mean, would people use so much aluminium if it wasn't straightforward to extrude it into interesting shapes? I don't think I would.

The straight characteristics of a material are one thing: what you can actually do with it are another.
Honestly I’d suggest the best one to learn is zsh. It’s built in to Macs, it has pretty modern features, and it’s pretty copypasta-compatible with bash scripts you find in the internet
We've had computers that beat humans in differential equations, automated theorems, arithmetic, aiming a gun and more in the 1970s.

Even search was considered an AI before Google, but today is just a thing computers are and always have been faster than humans at. Even before ChatGPT, lawyers relied upon computers to double-check citations.

Even in programming, I expect that compilers and IDEs check for the most common errors.
It's not that the backup will somehow not be identical to me. It's that I won't get to experience waking up as the backup. It'll be a different being, that just so happens to be a perfect clone.

It's basically like the teleporter that deconstructs you and then reconstructs you somewhere else. You get to experience waking into one end and then you die. Your life is over. The fact that something walks out the other end doesn't matter anymore. Even if to an outside observer it'll be indistinguishable from you simply having moved - the clone will even describe the experience of moving - you are now dead.
Since Firefox is apparently going to follow google with blocking ad blocks, do you have any thoughts of what browser you might move to next?

Firefox said it will adopt Manifest V3 in the interest of cross-browser compatibility.

But how can a generalist be an interchangeable part ? Fordism is the way of today.
lmao, Aurélien Pierre has been making insanely big leaps in darktable, putting it leagues above its competition and providing something so unique compared to Lightroom and others, so I'm not surprised that he just created his own fork.
That is pretty close to what those of us building robust storage systems in the real world have to do. At a previous employer, we had test suites that exercised all kinds of corner cases by triggering failover and system reboots in the middle of heavy persistent messaging workloads.

Filesystems have other horrors that you learn about during testing. I had one test case where it would take ext4 80 seconds to write out an 8MB file after a fresh mount of an 8TB filesystem. Free space was fragmented in just the right way that we hit the single threaded reading of block groups and bitmaps in the kernel and it took forever to get that data off the disk array.
> Plus OP may be severely underestimating the complexity and expense related to developing a new fully featured browser.

Not at all. I'm just done with the drama and shite that keeps occurring over the piss battle of Chrome and Firefox. The internet is just a waste land and all those technologies you posted I have not seen one decent product come from them. Please feel to prove me wrong.

All of those technologies could be implemented in a better application away from the browser instead of throwing them in a "all-in-one" solution which ends up falling behind because some other new tech comes a long. It's your attitude which causes the internet to lack in the first place.
I don't understand why this is any different than adblock. If this is an effective, client-side means of defeating ads, and Youtube has an effective way of defeating client-side prevention methods, then isn't this just going to be patched in the same way as adblock?

Said differently, this is clearly an arms race. I have more trust in uBlock winning an arms race than any other extension. If it fails then I don't believe any other will succeed.
I would say: stick to straight command sequences with variables, avoid if/for/while/functions etc. Subshells and pipes only for trivial things.

Setting something like a 30 char limit will inevitably lead to code-golfing to fit a mess into the 30 char limit.

But that becomes harder to automatically check, that's why you should still have good peer reviews based on written standards somewhere.
Not with DNS blocking, which is what the pihole is
YouTube Premium is a top 5, maybe top 3 subscription service that I pay for. Others in that tier would be Amazon Prime, Apple One+, NYT Crosswords, and 1Password.

Watching on every device without praying that this week’s ridiculous workaround continues to function for only like $15/month feels like a bargain.
Even with YouTube Premium, many YouTube videos contain sponsorship messages within the video. I know they're there for reasons, but having two types of advertising does make YouTube different than Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ etc.

Once you try it, and read his blogs about how all of this shit works, you'll know that he isn't exaggerating.

The amount of control and physics-based editing you're doing is very unique.

This wasn't what darktable was like a few years ago, but this guy has been making incredible strides to implement his vision.
Pi Hole just blocks on DNS level, I believe.
In the 1960s many people were gravely concerned about the end of human civilization due to nuclear war, so yes, many people would have considered that a reasonable possibility.
Well, it’s more that the problems in an area like ML or security were solvable if you generally knew how computers work and were smart and good at learning new things. Switching to a new domain took a few months, but ultimately there wasn’t /so much/ you had to learn.

Nowadays, those easy problems are solved. If you want to contribute to an area, you have to learn all the context, read a bunch of papers, it basically takes at least a year. So you can’t quite be a generalist SWE, drop into a random team for three weeks and meaningfully contribute.

Put another way, the relative value of spunk and generalist ability has decreased and the relative value of domain knowledge has increased.
I also read much of the paper and agree that there's nothing too bad about OpenAI in it. I question the claims the dispute was about this paper.

Perhaps we are seeing the result of zero information, so like one inside of an isolation tank you have millions of people piecing together theories from what they can actually see, such as the fact that a paper exists by a board member and there's a sentence here or two which give a rationale.

IMO the dispute wasn't about anything in the paper unless Altman is crazy, which seems ruled out based on his fan base.

IMO it's about AGI. The board really doesn't want it and was willing to axe Altman because he is flirting with releasing a "dumbed down" version of it. This is under the assumption that AGI exists and is being kept secret, something most everyone thinks is totally insane.
The problem is that it will refuse to play content if it can't play the ad.
Physics only seems to be continuous when you “zoom out”.

Amazing! I've been writing shell scripts since the 90s and now I still learn something new. Thank you!
Worked a place where we switched from having a client library to making the other teams use our APIs directly themselves. Of course, we had to do the switch for them because they were too busy... Pretty much just copy-pasted the library code directly into their projects.
