This is fantastic! So now nobody is going to want to take the CISO position and the SEC--government famously ironic--is going to destroy the security of every publicly traded organization in the company.
Wealth is control of resources, which is power. The way to change power is through force that's why you need swords to remove kings and to remove stacks of gold, see assinations, war, the U.S..
It has become harder and harder to do so, because Twitter (in its default state) now insists on inserting brain-meltingly lowbrow content in between every other post from someone you actually follow. And adverts for low quality iPhone games that are themselves also simply platforms for further adverts.

Even liking a single political post will fill the timeline with blatant political disinfo from the fringes of the political spectrum.

But it was also this bad before Musk.
You are a tad late mate, some 50 years or so.

Wasn't taking traffic off the central line a motivation from the start for Cross rail? This might be another reason why TFL is prioritising other lines over the central.
Air conditioning a train in a tunnel is a trick, because the tunnels heat up and can’t dissipate heat well at all.
Maybe not consciously, but if the board is supposed to provide oversight it does not make any sense to put yourself and you friend as the chair of that oversight board.

Perhaps in the "Tech Executive" mind having other people on the board does mean that putting yourself as the chair overseeing yourself is not the most blatant conflict of interest one can imagine.

But undoubtedly this was constructed as a case of Obama giving a medal to himself from the start.
Yea I guess you're right that in this case it probably boils down to extra cost.

Though I still think "not remembering watch history" (and adjusting what you are shown based on that) to mean that a functionality that doesn't have anything to do with tracking (because it only requires information from your current session) to be a little lazy.

You wouldn't expect a slide-show of images to be shown in random order, just because you didn't consent to the cookie banner.

But in all fairness - I really like youtube's auto-play and suggestion algorithm when it comes to music. I use it for free and I haven't seen an ad in years so I don't want to complain :)
If they can; abundant is the next best thing.

Any country without an expeditionary military force (about 187 of them) likes the resources they have. Ab abundant is great unless you have a known military adversary with extra-territorial ambition (that’s three countries).
If I understand correctly, it is not about "not emitting heat", they reduced the natural output of heat of the trains and gave the excess allowance to the new AC system.
> “Banning plastic bags at grocery store checkouts. But still allowing the store to sell their plastic kitchen garbage bags…”

The ban should have economic effects somewhere in the supply chain. One hopes the economic data will help policymakers understand the effects of eliminating those kitchen garbage bags, and then craft the arguments that influence people to change their behavior—-in other words a move was made. Now we need the data.
Would it be feasible to use the sodium from desalination wastewater?
People that grow up insulated from the consequences of their actions can do very dumb stuff and expect to get away with it because that's how they've lived all of their lives. I'm not sure about the background of any of the OpenAI board members but that would be one possible explanation about why they accepted a board seat while being incompetent to do so in the first place. I was offered board seats twice but refused on account of me not having sufficient experience in such matters and besides I don't think I have the right temperament. People with fewer inhibitions and more self confidence might have accepted. I also didn't like the liability picture, you'd have to be extremely certain about your votes not to ever incur residual liability.

Deno?
I don’t know if you’ve been to london, but if you’re a standard “modern” height for a man you can barely to not even stand straight in the deep tube trains. They are very very small, and limited by the tunnels which are absolutely tiny. I’m not surprised fitting air conditioning is a challenge, even ignoring the ventilation issues which are also massive.
No, the countries' self reported rates of degrees obtainment are irrelevant.

The quality of primary education is very low [1]. University education is mediocre, about par with the US [2]. Waterloo and UofT have decent CS programs but other than that nothing impressive.

Canada imports its highly educated workforce (Dr.s, top engineers, etc) from China and Europe. For many, Canada is a stepping stone to go to the US.

[1] I moved to Canada twice as a kid from two separate non-English countries. Both times I was shocked at how far behind my peers were.
Grade 10 history devoted an entire lesson to the Summit Series, but neglected the Cuban missile crisis. Oh, and the Summit Series lesson was just jingoistic dribble, not a word of how Clarke is a thug who should be in jail.

[2] The US (undergrad) engineering programs are better, but I'll admit Canadian grading is not as bad as American; far less grade inflation. So let's call it a tie.
Nothing compared to a continental European program, or East Asian program (or, frankly some select L. American universities).
I don't think the science is illegitimate in the sense that it doesn't follow the scientific method or at least the principles of science or engineering in some form. Nor do I think they have bad intentions.

BUT, I do think their work is useless and only serves to better integrate AI into to the system, which is better in the short term but worse in the long term. Therefore, overall, I vehemently disagree with their research and I think it is fundamentally a contribution to the worsening of the earth.

I absolutely AGREE with treating all people equally and eliminating racial biases of course. However, TECH companies have a VESTED interest in this sort of thing, which is to integrate as many people as possible into the tech empire. It just so happens that building the tech empire is roughly equivalent to success in modern society, which is why their intentions seem good, but they are only ostensibly good. In reality, they do no good of any kind.
DoS attacks involve an attack on a third party to prevent someone from using a service, making the third party both an unwilling participant and a victim of the attack. I don't think anyone would consider that free speech, as much as they wouldn't consider it free speech to call in a bomb threat to an auditorium.

However, in this day and age unrelated interests are getting roped into the discussion and expressing their ability to make their own speech. This is better phrased as a Terms of Service attack. If you have agreed to use a service that can revoke your access for reasons you agreed to, then you are in a precarious position and your speech is not easily protected.

Is a boycott "denial of service"? I can't think of how that might be without stretching the terms to meaninglessness.

Is a bomb threat or getting someone fired a form of DoS? I'll agree with you there, and I also consider blacklisting a form of this.

If you ask me whether a company like Visa or First Data has the right to deny access to its services over political speech, I think it's clear that nobody has sued them successfully over this. But I would also argue that the payments market should be better regulated and require service for all legal transactions. At the very least, there should be a public option that is resistant to fraud, one where the payer initiates the transaction with an unshared secret, like with Pix in Brazil. The public option should support the free speech guaranteed by the government.
But then does a tuk-tuk go "tuk" twice?
Many people in this thread are rightly complaining that this does not answer the "why does this work". Having a working example is a good start for that though as at least you have a known target and as you change things (and break things), you can see what those options did.

One problem with this guide that makes that trickier is that the tsconfig.json itself imports https://github.com/sindresorhus/tsconfig/blob/5c87dc118e057d... and overrides a bunch of values.

So if you really want to understand what it's doing, you need to get rid of that dependency and inline / merge that config file. That would also add stability to your project as it's one less upstream dependency out of your control (and a big one at that as it controls how you entire project is built!).

For example the imported tsconfig.json changes these:

"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"module": "node16",
"moduleResolution": "node16",
"moduleDetection": "force",
// ...
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true, // To provide backwards compatibility, Node.js allows you to import most CommonJS packages with a default import. This flag tells TypeScript that it's okay to use import on CommonJS modules.
"jsx": "react",
// ...
}

But you wouldn't notice that if you just look at the gist. It'd just be a magic that you can write React code in a .tsx file. Clearly that has to be enabled somewhere.
That’s the weird part, they actually can. It’s supposedly one of the machine learning features, where it learns your schedule and makes daily accurate guesses of by when you’ll unplug and plug it back in.

The one technical innovation is that in the olden days, a penny stock required paper and phones. You can now press a button and launch a new DeFi token, about 100% of which are unregistered penny stock scams.

They don't register because they think they can get away without it, it's pretty simple.

Pointing at all the other scofflaws doesn't make you not a scofflaw.
This is where I get so frustrated with the people dismissing questions about AI safety so easily. Sure, there's the subset of people who seem to believe in the AI apocalypse type of problems, but I think the more realistic and more present threat is mass displacement. It's not just gonna be a random writer or designer here and there, it's going to be replacing swathes of people at every possible step, whether you're a "10x" dev or a lowly junior copywriter or whatever.

Whether the AI is even good enough to truly replace people barely even matters, the psychopathic C-suites don't give a shit as long as they get an excuse to fire 20,000 people and write it off as a good thing since their bottom line gets a bit fatter from using the AI in their stead.
I’m voting for Dan McCrum, Elliott Brown, Maureen Farrell, Duncan Mavin and Bethany McLean to team up and write the book to end all books about corporate stupidity.
I think this is a really cool idea and it might make sense to use this for small collections (100k/200k documents).
The board is desperate. A $90B company turned overnight into a lemon nobody wants, despite having amazing tech and APIs. They need to find a way to keep at least 20% of the employees from leaving, as that will allow them to continue running the services that have paying customers.
They are willing to follow Altman.

They've effectively lost 95% of their staff in the most likely outcome here. The game is already over.
You're right I was too flippant with my language. I was only thinking about the US and its strategic desires.
Worldwide? Nothing Phone 1 wasn't even available for purchase in the U.S and I've yet to see any of their other products being sold throughout latam. They operate like the infamous street fashion brand Supreme with limited "drops" in carefully chosen markets to generate hype through manufactured scarcity.
How they were used is irrelevant to the point being made.
I really want to see an open knowledge base project tackle exactly what you're describing. Cyc has a pretty solid foundation for accomplishing this using what they call microtheories (personally a weird term to me). It's a great step in the right direction but its a closed ecosystem with a huge amount of cognitive overhead to do anything against. A lot of other projects seem to do better with the ingestion and updating of information (albeit with less automated tooling).

I've been refreshing myself on ontology design and knowledge representation lately. I'm kind of surprised that is hasn't moved very much in the last two decades. I'm guessing we're about to hit an inflection point there as it becomes a cool topic with the current AI trends.

With TS, I get type checking in the IDE; I don't need to rebuild every few seconds.

When I actually need to build and test, it's very fast (<2 seconds). I use Yarn workspaces/subprojects and TypeScript references with incremental builds so it's not really an issue.

Here is the `package.json` [0] for a serialization lib I did, you can check the `scripts` section: it's very minimal and I'm quite happy with it. I'm an old Gulp maintainer, so for a long time I had heavy Gulp config with a lot of processing. Over the years I could get rid of it. ESM was the last thing holding me back; and now I'm so happy that I can just use a few simple commands.

At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I found this course:

My reasoning was I had more free time because my company switched to WFH, so I could study it.
And no, I still haven't finish it :p
Someone already corrected your terminology. As for the "don't get me wrong" part: it means that I am not defending twitter. I openly hate it, which is what "I wouldn't miss it one bit if it suddenly disappeared" clearly states.
Not really at all, if we were to try and reduce EA to a pithy one-liner it would be more like "if one aspires to do good (altruism), one should use evidenced based data to determine how they can do the most good with their limited resources (effective)."
Yeah I mean I am only speaking for myself. I am done with them but you are free to fly with whoever you want.
In my opinion it is an useless habit that makes the code less readable and harder to review.

At the opposite, in my long professional life, I never saw such a bug or it not being noticed in the second.
“Big tech companies” was in quotation marks because it’s a journalistic term, not a direct quotation from their charter.

But the intention was precisely that - just read the charter. Or if you want it directly from the founders, read this interview and count how many times they refer to Google https://medium.com/backchannel/how-elon-musk-and-y-combinato...
> a working example that you don't understand and just copy over and over again into new projects.

Once you have a working example, you can go through it line by line and figure out what it is doing.
But presumably these people have kids! How are these kids supposed to buy a house?

If my kids are in a worse economic situation than me, than I have failed economically in life. I mean, how can I enjoy living in a house with a big back yard if my kid has a choice of moving to the US or renting for life?

At the end of my life, Im more screwed if I own a house and my kid rents than if I rent and my kids own their home!
AC units dump the heat "outside" into the air. There is no outside in deep tunnels. Nowhere for the heat to go. The tunnels have already heated up over the decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_cooling

It's not primarily about headroom.
Nope, nope. Technologists do not understand the true nature of AI. What technologists know they can rarely communicate, and even less so to a general public. Technology developers are not some special deep understanders that ordinary humans are not; we just have more time spent in our specialization than they, as they have in their specializations which we do not. If anything, technology developers, due to our specialization's time requirements and the traditional lack of professional communications training, tend to be weaker communicators than the general public. The last people you want explaining AI to a potentially fearful general public is weak communicators, such as the AI developers.
A demo video is in the README (I used Mistral-7b in there).

Budgie desktop switches its approach to Wayland

Okay, you named some downsides of the unitary root. Now name the downsides of non-unitary roots.

Otherwise your proposal lacks the context to decide if it's a worthwhile tradeoff or not.
Yes, its oblateness is on the order of 40 miles difference between diameter at the poles and the equator. Not very oblate, but no perfect sphere.
It's a huge achievement considering both the technical challenges (which other comments explain) but also that anything actually got done considering the UK's economic and political disaster.
That's interesting.

I used to get it all the time and haven't experienced it since switching to an account where it's enabled. I guess it may have just been a coincidence.
In the larger sense, "Kubernetes-Native" is similar to "Linux-native." Kubernetes is the platform.

For this project specifically, it seems they have done some interesting work to make things run in containers, like udev input and streaming wayland sessions to a web browser.

Overall, it looks pretty interesting.

Esquiring Minds Podcast on the OpenAI Debacle and the Path Forward
I don’t appreciate the way that you conflate “outside Silicon Valley” with “the gullible, the greedy, the narrow-minded.” If anything I think it’s easier to find such types in SV than outside.

If AI is meant to benefit all of humanity, then it makes sense for more of humanity to be represented on the board, not just SV.
> Then it should be a fundamental mission of people who DO have technical knowledge to spread the word on both the negative and positive effects of AI.

Researchers have done so. One good resource is Melanie Mitchell's book Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans (i presume a 2nd edition is in works to incorporate LLMs/ChatGPT etc.) Also checkout her videos on youtube.

The problem is that technologically clueless vested interests in the business/media push sound bites to the already distracted public thus distorting everything.

Also OpenChat-3.5v model (It has 7B parameters, I think it is also a Mistral finetuning), demo: https://openchat.team/
There’s no justification for it to exist. It’s like saying every bus needs a steerer and a gas pedal pusher. This is worse than a single driver, but hey it creates another job
I don’t think he was the one releasing any of the embarrassing and dramatic press releases.
On the other hand, it's quite rare that a tool takes a single 1.5V cell. Many of them will take 2 or 4, and then you can make a double form factor 3V cell that will fit in most double AA holders.

I've also seen manufacturers who make 3V or 3.2V cells in AA format, and then supply a dummy AA-shaped link with it, which is just a straight-through connection like a wire. Put one cell and one link in your tool, or two cells and two links.
DNA methylation study of recent&cumulative marijuana use in middle aged adults
I really really want this to work.

However at this point - benchmark success is about as effective as results from someone who has been “taught the test”

If say… Merck wanted to use this same model to reason out a logistics issue, or apply it to some business problem at scale - you’d have to deal with hallucinations all over the place.

The best analogy I have right now is that improved results on benchmarks are like better acting from Hugh Laurie as House.

If you want to watch a show - great (generative work)

If you want to get a prescription - then not so much.
I wonder, are we now at equilibrium with the surrounding earth so the heat of the trains is now actually vented outside, or is the clay still absorbing heat?

If it's the latter than this merely kicks the can down the road and ambient temperatures will keep rising.
Here in Hamburg the S-Bahns are only just being replaced by air conditioned models. I don't think there are even plans for an air conditioned U-Bahn yet
I agree. The core OpenAI crew is different from Elon's or Jobs people, it's made up of scientists who tend to be more sensitive/sensible to the impact of their work.
So I'm appalled OpenAI employees would follow Sam Altman into none other than... Microsoft!

My bet is that's not going to happen, at least not significantly. So far only the trust circle of Altman and Brockman actually quit. I don't see Sam Altman as a MSFT employee for long anyway, it's mostly negotiation leverage. This is obviously controversial, but time may even be on OpenAI's board's favor: by just not doing much the company will keep commercially thriving even if the new management "slows down" AI development, and at least as long as MSFT honors its compute compromises which it said it would and the whole coup fire wanes.
I am not sure if it would be commendable or out-right stupid though for the remaining board members to be that altruistic, and actually let the whole thing crash and burn. Who in their right mind would let these people near any sort of decision-making role if they let this golden goose just crash to the ground, even if would "benefit the greater good" - cannot see that this is in the self-interest of anyone

Maybe they value our consciousness

Maybe they need us to carry out physical tasks

Maybe they’re smart enough to stop us from being so destructive without killing us

Maybe they find us entertaining

If you’re not biased you can come up with all sorts of reasons that are at least as based in reality as the assumptions that they’re gonna want to (and be able to) kill us…
It is infuriating how the West keeps sabotaging itself. Both China and Yandex/Russia are moving ahead while the West is self-sabotaging with all the "responsible AI" bullshit.
They are only superpowers until you have made enough AI art to see how pathetically limited and un-creative midjourney is.

This is all a lot of nothing. A year ago at this time I thought we had reached the art singularity. Now after thousands of images, seeing any AI art makes me want to puke. It is just the same shit over and over and over because it is so limited in what it can actually make.

In the long run all AI art will do is make people appreciate human art more. Any human artist against AI art is an idiot.

It is not like web design or anything else. AI Art is a giant decentralized PR and unintentional advertising campaign that will show how awesome human artists are and how overhyped AI is.

In a few years people will view AI art as useless, shit, scriblings of non-artists. Why? Because that is exactly what it is.
