No apology needed, and I can believe it! I happen to have some personal contacts in Hue who are in middle but in the divide between northern and southern communists they were treated as part of the south. I know there's some real bitterness even among just the communists, in part because the Hanoi-driven war strategy led to the formations in the south taking incredibly heavy casualties which then further cemented their political subordination in the postwar era.

From what little I know, both the center of the country and the south, party and non-party alike, generally feel that the northern elite is clannish and doesn't allocate jobs and investment fairly, which is kind of a big deal for a country with such a large state sector.

In the American case most of the state of Mississippi did not celebrate the 4th of July until 1945 because they considered themselves to be occupied confederate territory for 81 years: https://www.visitvicksburg.com/blog/celebrating-independence...

I can well understand some feeling persisting a mere 65 years later.

That said, for American southern irredentists of past, present and future, they're stuck with the confederacy alone, which is inextricably connected to slavery even for people like Robert E. Lee who was personally but not politically opposed to slavery. That's simply a much harder thing to identify with morally and practically, especially when 30-40% of the population of the south are descended from freed slaves.

The Republic of Vietnam flag stands for the hundreds of thousands of ARVN soldiers and administration and their families, but it also stands for things like a catholic dictatorship attacking temples in a 90% buddhist country, rigged elections, coups, and being the junior partner of a foreign power that carried out a brutal and dehumanizing counter-insurgency.

Unlike the American south, the southern Vietnamese have a much older identity and much richer history to draw upon. So, I wonder if in time a prior symbol/flag/something from their distinct history will become more resonant for them in the future, which conveys the identity without the baggage.
We don't have a dangerous AI yet, but because we are talking about an existential risk, yes we do want to start thinking about it now.

AI does not have to be alive or truly conscious or anything to be dangerous. It just needs to be very effective at problem solving and have someone take the guardrails off and tell it to act in a self-interested way. Especially without humans in the loop.

It seems likely that the systems will continue to get much faster and more robust in terms of problem solving. It is easy to anticipate the possibility within just a few years of agent swarms being connected to pretty much everything (as directed by their human owners), and no human being able to compete. This will be a precarious position.
I don't recommend getting the Eight Sleep device. It's bricked without internet access. I'm not a fan of high priced home appliances that require internet for basic functionality.

And their privacy policy allows them to sell your sleep data. The sensors can detect when there's another person in the bed with you, so having a partner sleep over presumably sends their biometric data to Eight Sleep without your partner's consent.

I'm usually pretty privacy conscious but for some reason I didn't read the privacy policy on this before buying it and I deeply regret that.

This product was being shilled by several Twitter-famous ppl, including some YC alums. Later found out they all had a financial interest in Eight Sleep.
Flash storage is getting cheap. There is some places where it matters.... but on everything else.... I am really not a fan of dynamic linking.

Linux has proven for a very long time that if you have 100 programs, and they each have 100 dependencies, you'll probably see an occasional issue related to incompatibility.

It seems like it's suited to the mindset of unique systems maintained by sysadmins, with every app being a part of the system, quite possibly built locally just for your task.

The modern way seems to be disposable installs that cab be recreated automatically if some probably-not-worth-fixing thing happens, made of reusable multipurpose software made by people who have never heard of your application, and a bit of local code, which might be intended to someday become one of those mega-frameworks.

Even windows used to always have hassles with some visual C++ runtime or other.

Although the standard library of C isn't a big issue since it's not in the habit of breaking things, but I'd imagine Rust might want to make bigger changes since it's so new.

Its pretty heartening that among all this drama and activism I've never heard of a users data being maliciously leaked from Google.

I read the part about not using 404s twice and I still don’t quite get it. It sounds like the author was using some infrastructure separate from their actual app server that unpredictably returned 404 responses and thus they don’t want to deliberately return 404 responses?

Well, solving the math problems today will be breaking crypto tomorrow, then using it to rent a lot of compute with stolen money, using that to fine-tune itself on every genomic database out there, then use its new capabilities to fold some proteins in its mind, send some e-mails to some unsuspecting biolabs, and tomorrow we're all grey goo.

That is the same thing as preferences. Different things are important to different people, these are preferences by definition.
FWIW I have the opposite experience, I never buy digital playstation games unless I'm forced to because they all sell for MSRP in New Zealand ($129/$139 NZD), whereas I can always get them physically for $99/$109 brand new. I would much prefer to buy digital games, but I'm not paying an extra $30 for the privilege of saving someone _else_ money
It's an American Chinese dish that contains garlic and onions.
Actual adults very much consider a person's character and ethics when they're in charge of any high stakes undertaking. Some people are just not up to the job.

It's kind of incredible, people seem to have been trained to think that being unethical is just a part of being the CEO a large business.

>I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Yes, you can implement the function, I never claimed otherwise. I'm talking about the _type system_.

The type constrains the definition. Look at the definition, there is ONLY one possible definition when converting this:

Dict[str, T] -> Dict[str, Callable[[], T]]

Literally. Try to think of another way to define the lambda, you can't. The more open the type the more constrained the definition the more constrained the type the more open the definition.

> I specifically talked about arbitrary tuples. Your function only handles specific tuples.

I remarked on this in other replies. How will you define the return value of the concat and have it exactly type correct? It's not possible bro. You can't do much with tuples of arbitrary types. Not unless you have dependent types.

>The type system is a core feature of Python. Until it supports what I want, I can't really use what I want with Python.

Type checking in python is an external application. The interpreter doesn't do any type check. Type checking is achieved by running another program. All kinds of additional features and custom interpretations on types can be inserted into these type checkers.

They can offer lower prices on other platforms. If I dual publish my game on the Epic Games Store and Steam, the pricing can be totally different. The rule is that I can't sell Steam Keys (basically a coupon redeemable for the game on Steam) for cheaper than I sell the game on Steam's marketplace.

IMO, that's an important distinction. If they were demanding price parity with competing storefronts with their own launchers and DRM and whatnot, there would be a compelling argument for an antitrust case. The reality is not nearly that bad.

I like that you limited it to only a known set of queries.

How did you vet the set, to be certain that it won't ever say that something is OK when it's toxic?
It is even confusing to me. The trains are on separate tracks but the question implies that they will crash into each other. Which could happen even if they are on separate tracks (very low chance but non-zero given there is a malfunction).

Now even if they are on the same track it doesn't mean they would crash into each other as they still could brake in time.
Again, D'Angelo chose Larry Summers and Bret Taylor to sit on the board with him himself. As long as it is the three of them, he can't be overruled unless both of his personal picks disagree with him. And if the opposition to his idea is all that bad, he probably really should be overruled.

His voting power will get diluted as they add the next six members, but again, all three of them are going to decide who the next members are going to be.

A snippet from the recent Bloomberg article:

>A person close to the negotiations said that several women were suggested as possible interim directors, but parties couldn’t come to a consensus. Both Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire philanthropist and widow of Steve Jobs, and former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer were floated, *but deemed to be too close to Altman*, this person said.

Say what else you want about it, this is not going to be a board automatically stacked in Altman's favor.
I get extremely annoyed when an API getting one thing has a plural and an API getting many things has a singular.
I don't think that's accurate, it generates novel outputs that were not observed in the training data.
I love the intention behind this, because this is information I search for regularly, but the build feels lacking a bit at the moment.

The biggest problem is that any site which attempts what you're aiming for would need to offer me more than my current approach, which is just to Google "[food] safe for dogs", which returns me:

A. Multiple sources of information to cross-reference the results, increasing my confidence in the answer. This site only gives me a YES/NO result with no(!) indication of where the information is coming from. You should definitely add a list of sources for the information below the results. For instance, my second search was for blueberries, which all the results on the first page of Google say are safe for dogs, but your website declares TOXIC. Mistakes like that will instantly kill my desire to trust your single source of information.

B. An indication of what level foods might be toxic to dogs at. As other commenters have mentioned, it's not a binary result. A note below the result quoting one or two of what your sources say about levels of toxicity would be really helpful.

Also, just from a usability perspective, when I start typing a food into the search bar and the list of autosuggestions appear, I was expecting to be able to hit the down arrow to start going down the list and hit enter to select the result I want. Making me go back to the mouse to select the answer I want was an (admittedly small) point of frustration).
They come in after someone reports a serious injury, normally.

This seems like pretty boring, dumb factory stuff. Even if you have a safety auditor, he can't keep someone from removing PPE when it's too hot out or what have you.

They threatened to quit by moving to Microsoft, didn’t you read the letter? MS assured everyone jobs if they wanted to move. Isn’t making incorrect assumptions and sticking to them in the face of contrary evidence and not answering direct questions the very definition of obtuse?
I honestly think we've already passed the peak and are already in the slow decline. Microsoft has already pushed too hard and alienated too many users. Now they'll slowly keep losing market share while desperately squeezing the remaining market for all its worth until there's nothing left. Their momentum will carry them for an unfortunately long time.
Agreed.

To me, GPT-4 is an AGI: it knows how to cook, write code, make songs, navigate international tax law, write business plans, etc.

Could it be more intelligent? Sure. Is it a capable general intelligence? 100%.
Couple notes:

1. Google and Amazon smart speakers do a surprisingly good job with these kind of queries and work better as providing a more frictionless means of getting an answer to these types of spur of the moment questions.

2. Claiming to have one of the most extensive databases around food related toxicities for dogs and not immediately providing a link to the sources of your information on your website is a big red flag.

What’s sad is that the relatively expensive and high end apple Bluetooth headsets also sound awful.

Blame Bluetooth blame whatever, but AirPods Pro and AirPods Max should sound incredible at their price point. And they just don’t. They sound obviously filtered and robotic.

And also the latency they add is a problem.
Interesting find! I get some astroturfing vibes from some of those edits, but I'm also a bit paranoid about those things.

The AGI article now seems heavily biased towards GPT/LLM style models and reads more like list of OpenAI achievements at certain points.

I much prefer Gartner's definition of AGI and I think when most informed people talk about about AGI, they are talking about this:

https://www.gartner.com/en/information-technology/glossary/a...
Well stated and I agree. LLM's are not anywhere near AGI and likely will not be ever. We've had random word generators for decades, useful for brainstorming, not so much for critical thinking. These LLM's are akin to random word generators with better grammar and a vastly larger database.

We've all been playing with LLM's heavily since they became widely available, and the more we play with them the more we can see their limitations, they aren't "thinking" in any sense of the term. Bunch of chicken littles running around alarming people for little reason.

The danger, of course, and we've known this for a long time is what bad actors will do with them. But we don't need to be lectured on how to be nice every time we prompt something.
That's... a really dumb way to say that garlic and onions are toxic though.

Context is crucial!
This is a good one too. Expands on multi-account containers:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-con...
Not the OP, but I have a similar desire, not because I make lots of progress, but mostly because progress comes from many different directions, and then in some ways because I make little enough progress at a given time, between other things, that if I don't have an easy way to reload the context, there'll never be a way to string all the little bits of progress into anything coherent.
Symbolic reasoning isn't an atomic action. I can't speak for you or anyone else, but at least for me, symbolic reasoning involves either cached conclusions, or a fuck ton of talking to myself in my head - and that part is effectively LLM-like.

Which is why I'm still bewildered people expect LLMs to solve math and symbolic issues directly, when they're clearly (see e.g. "chain of thought") better treated as "inner voice" and used accordingly.

>while the party gave voice to some socialist ideals early in its life, many if not most of those were abandoned as it rose to power

Yes, this is indeed what happens and strengthens my point. Why should we be opposed to efforts to enforce "social good" through strong centralized authority? Because this is exactly what happens. The central authority doesn't follow through and now has control of everyone's lives.

Also I was responding to a comment calling me absurd for suggesting Nazis were socialist asserting that they just called themselves that. You're moving the goal posts quite a lot by saying they "didn't follow through" with their early ideals. We could keep having this conversation with one side demonstrating socialist things Nazis actually did and continuing to move goalposts to keep the original opinion "socialism good, nazis bad, therefor nazis weren't socialist"

Hilarious. People are so confident in ChatGPT that as soon as they see a plausible-sounding response it must be correct. In a discussion about proving ChatGPT has intelligence... maybe we need to prove humans have intelligence first.
This is one of those things where if you were asked to sit down and write out thoroughly what that phrase means, you’d find it to be exceedingly subjective.

I think the closest way you could truly measure that is to point at industries using it and proving the theory in the market. But by then it’s far too late.
Right, you have to practically rewrite the entire response in order to make it sound like something a human would write. Then you wonder if it was even worth the effort. It is decent at pulling up research notes, which you then have to thoroughly vet to make sure they are accurate before you use them.

According to this, chicken is toxic for dogs? And "water, bottled, plain"?
It's only a matter of time until someone comes up with a GPT that takes whatever off-axis theories a research paper writer wishes to promulgate, and searches the entire corpus of academic literature for references that can be strung together in such a way as to support any argument one likes.

A quack's dream come true, substantiating an argument by backsolving from its feeble or malevolent conclusion to a set of well-known premises but-with-citations. converting untenable speculation into something that passes many superficial tests of legitimacy, which is more than enough to boost it into broader and less critical visibility.

"thick with citations, therefore truthy" is a big blind spot in the casual heuristic used ro gauge the quality of a given piece of research writing, especially at the undergrad level where this tool, lets call it CheatGPT, would be stupendously popular.
> consider a person's character and ethics

Yeah, my point is that considering someone's character doesn't happen at the level of "is/is-not a slimebag", but at more detailed and specific way.

> people seem to have been trained to think that being unethical is just a part of being the CEO a large business

Not just large. A competitive market can be heavily corrupting, regardless of size (and larger businesses can get away with less, so...).
It's not an order of magnitude easier. It won't make a difference
Plain bottled water is toxic to dogs?

Also it was not obvious to me that just because it showed the “toxic” message with icon that was the answer. I just thought it was some slow loading logo thing that was slow to load. That is the answer, right?

And what is “baby water”? Or “enhanced diet/regular water”?
