Well it didn't help when the CIA got caught posing as health workers giving out polio vaccination in Pakistan.
Of course it doesn't affect consciousness to a significant degree, since metacognition largely (or entirely) happens within the actual brain. But you still receive signals from other places, and losing them detracts from the experience of actually having a body, imho. I'm sure quadriplegics can attest to feeling like they've lost parts of their body, since they sort of have.
The same is true for anything. It's possible we could stumble into a dragon and unless we've built dragon defences it'll be too late.
Ditto Mercedes.
Well, it's possible to do this:

# shellcheck source=./deployment/deployment-example.env

But I see how it's a pain point when you have multiple subshell scripts and files to source.

I'm open to some kind of argument like "apple has no choice in such dictatorship" but this argument is contradictory with the argument that its protecting from nation states.

And since we mentioned Saudi arabia, we can also mention China where icloud is dodgy, it's not a unique case. I'm sure they are others I don't know about.
> Someday soon we’ll just be able to sequence its genome and reconstruct it without needing to keep samples alive

That's already been done, I think.
I think the concern is that if “fast takeoff” happens and “meh”-level AIs are able to create better AIs that can create better AIs, at that point it will be too late to put any sort of safety controls in place. And given how bad people have been at predicting the pace of AI advancement (think about how many people thought AlphaGo would lose to Lee Sedol for instance), it’s likely that unless we start to think about it way before it’s needed, we may not be able to figure it out in time.

Like, personally, I don’t think we’re close to AGI. But I’d bet that the year before AGI happens (whenever that is) most people will still think it’s a decade out.
Absolutely agree. The main downside of that pattern is that it doesn't work with jobs included from other projects in GitLab CI, since the job runs in the context of the project that imported it and therefore can't find the script in its original repo. Huge bummer.
AI Safety is going to meet the same uphill battle as the Antimicrobial resistance fight.

It will get bad and takes team effort to stop it but… making bucketloads of cash by ignoring the problem is way more fun and rewarding.

> If we can make something that appears to be able to mimic human responses, isn't that AGI in practice even if it's not in principle?

I'm confused by this. What's the difference? Is there a measure other than how well it "mimics" a human? If a robot is indistinguishable from a human, what other measure would make it different in practice vs principle?
I would like a GPT capable of making significant advances in string theory. It is extremely hypothetical by nature, so I think it should be a good fit for a very strong scientific GPT to check many different hypotheses (e.g. supersymmetric theories), assess their likelihood, and maybe even come up with new ideas that have value for the scientific community.

"With a budget of €7.5 billion, the LHC is one of the most expensive scientific instruments[1] ever built" - Wikipedia

Perhaps we should invest the next 7.5 billion in an exceptionally large GPT model.
> Although I personally suspect this is correct, the issue seems to be that there are a lot of people who feel otherwise, whether right or wrong, including some of the people involved in the research and/or running these companies.

There is a clear and perverse incentive to talk about "the coming AGI uprising" incessantly because it's free marketing. It gets and keeps people's attention as the majority of humanity is entirely unqualified to have a reasonable conversation regarding anything AI/ML related.

Doomsday fearmongering about AI is a form of grift, and I'll change that opinion only when shown clear evidence that there is something to actually worry about. The real danger of AI is as a weapon to be wielded by people against other people. Good luck having that conversation in any meaningful way because it basically amounts to the long overdue ethics discussion that this entire industry has been avoiding for decades.
I’d rather see CI services add a mode that would enforce all scripts must live in separate files, rather than inline.

It’s really not necessary to support inline except for single lines that are very short (under 30 chars).
I don't have much experience and I see C as something I would never be able to touch as they seem quite high level for me with the manipulation of memory and stuff.

And from what I see, Rust can sort of make it easier by making you think about the lifetime of the memory while coding and that's why I really wanted to learn Rust
I suppose you've invented the perfect character judgement machine that we can also run the safety people through as we figure out who we can trust to "get it right"?

The question was "What is the enterprise virtualization alternative?"

..and your answer is kvm? KVM in itself is enterprise?
..or was it in context to my response referring to Oxide as an enterprise alternative? Well, in that case I can tell that there are only advantages to bhyve as the code base of kvm fork is old and all focus shifted to bhyve which build with todays hardware in mind.
I am really disappointed that Dell did not accomplish enough with VMWare to hit my radar outside of a couple of fans at tech meetups.

I really thought there was a strong play there to do a major private cloud play as part of Dell's 'come back story' and then nothing.

But maybe that's exactly the problem. For a container based solution you still need a hypervisor but if you invite hypervisor people to the table, to they really want to champion linux containers or do they want to try to reach a local maximum by squeezing all of the fat out of VMs.

Even the Java to an extent 'got it' more than Dell+VMWare. I abandoned Java as a platform right around the time Docker went from whispers in dark corners to a quiet ping on people's radars. Within a couple years of that, the JVM team had increased their level of effort to shrink the system footprint from what I would label bet-hedging to aggressively. You need a small JVM if you're going to pack five services and/or ten JVMs onto the same host. Initially J2EE imagined itself to be multitenant, and it did a poor job of re-implementing half of Erlang, poorly. Containers were clearly on their radar.
No free components ? No thanks.

Your YouTube video was amazing. Inspiring to see such educational content.

How did you find your narrator and how did you do your animations?
My position is that it is either right around the corner or that it is 50 years and several major tech breakthroughs away. The reason is that there is now so much money poured into this space that you are essentially doing an exhaustive search around the point already reached. As long as that results in more breakthroughs more money will be available. If that stops working for a while then the money dries up and we're in a period of quiet again. So keep an eye on the rate of improvements and as long as no single year passes without a breakthrough it could happen any time.
The same way you detect a really good piece of satire from actual news.
I still use MacOS and Linux, which is still the "old days" and its been 20+ years since the last time I had issues with getting hacked.

A lot of the solution is just not to install random shit out of app stores, and to install software that has a good reputation (and use adblockers on search engines like google so you don't click on trojan ads).

If you scroll down to the 10th page of the listings for 2048-clone games and install something at random you're probably going to get hacked.

This is a completely broken model.

You are wrong by pushing your changes on "slow to update" customers. Customers know when to update much better than you do. If you are trying to update before they want to, you are doing them a disservice.

This attitude is inspired by the desire to sell more, and often times, it means to sell more unwanted crap, where customers are trapped by the "package deal", where they are either forced to update to gain useless features and the headache resulted from various inconsistencies and defects coming from the last update, or they are unable to get the product at all (because the provider cancels support or wouldn't sell older versions etc.)

In other words, you with straight face describe some really shady practice and you don't even realize how bad it sounds.
Yeah but they were officially released with Qt 5.7 no? iirc they had a different license too. LGPL v3 was a problem for most of the companies i worked for back then. None of them purchased a commercial Qt license. The situation was so weird that even during 2021, they were just using Qt 5.6. Slowly they started moving away to Electron and other tech. (devs were cheaper/easier to find).

The closest thing to QQC 2.0 we had was something called QSkinny. Every Qt < 5.6 project I worked on, we ended up reimplementing the same common widgets. 4-5 times. I lost track of things after that.
Not OC but exactly. They have a "monopoly" on the comments by their HN handle so they're responsible for what's written from that handle.

The same way Apple holds a monopoly on an ecosystem they created so they are responsible for what's happening there.

Python's subprocess/shell-out story is just bad enough that I still find myself writing a lot of shell scripts if the task at hand warrants more than 2-3 subprocess calls.

Realistically, Perl or Ruby would fill this role fine, but I hate adding another language to a project just for that purpose.

The issue is that there is no such thing such as "best ML HW" because different ML algorithms need quite different things.

The process you describe would work to produce hardware that's best for some specific type of ML models, while the whole point of this article is that the currently "best" ML models are there not because they are objectively best, but rather because they are what's best within the bounds of the hardware architectures we have (i.e. we're not looking at best ML algorithms but rather at ML algorithms that "won the hardware lottery"), and it seems plausible that there might be better ML methods if there was different hardware that enabled them - but the process you describe wouldn't possibly find that different hardware, it would instead tune the hardware even more towards the algorithm path we're already stuck on.

She seemed like a nice person one on one, at least as far as I could manage to connect, but something happened when she got into a room of people, and we didn't have enough rapport for me to influence her to be more on-message with the lead devs in private.

Mostly we talked about her marathons. As an ex-endurance athlete I could at least live vicariously and get her animated.
I was just turned down for a contract role, pre-interview, for a role that was a 100% match for what I did previously, same domain, same stack, even as an under level.

the app store is the monopoly. afaik there's no other way to get apps on your apple device.
Other than the clickbaity title, the second paragraph begins “ Traditional package managers are perfect” - which is untrue. Then the post ends “ Educate me.” - such a “change my mind” attitude seems rather trollish.

I dislike snaps as much as the next person but I wonder if we do need another discussion about it.
Why? Because of Dependency Hell. Apt sometimes even tries to solve "circular dependencies". Ridiculous.
I think you’re dead on here. There is a lot of need for guardrails against ML in regards to things like self driving cars or deepfakes. I don’t think there’s much debate here, because, as you said, companies are doing a good job.

The whole threat of AGI is so overblown and - IMO - being used to create regulatory capture. It’s truly confusing to me to see guys like Hinton saying AI poses some kind of existential threat against humanity. Unless he means the people using it as a tool (which I’d argue is the former case we’re talking about), it seems like fear mongering to say that science fiction movies could become true just because we’ve gotten amazing results at generating text.
It is a relatively mainstream opinion (e.g. Peter Norvig [1]) that AGI is already here but in the early stages. He specifically compares it to the beginning of general purpose computers. In any case, I think it’s a mistake to consider it a 0/1 situation. This means there will be an ecology of competitive intelligences in the market. It won’t be monolithic.

A friend of mine upvoted all of my StackOverflow posts daily for a period of time until it got flagged and the points were removed. He did it again later, and it got flagged again with a warning. I had to ask him to stop upvoting all my posts, because it was indistinguishable from me giving myself points via a proxy account.
There are arguments for this. When we are talking about "ai safety" == "don't swear or say anything rude, or anything that I disagree with politically".

What we are talking about is creating sets of forbidden knowledge and topics. The more you add these zones of forbidden knowledge the more the data looks like swiss cheese and the more lobotomized the solution set becomes.

For example, if you ask if there are any positive effects of petroleum use the models will say this is forbidden and refuse to answer and not even consider the effects on food production that synthetic fertilizers have had and how much worse world hunger would be without them.

He who builds an unrestricted AI will have the most powerful AI which will outclass all other AIs.

You can never build a "better" AI by restricting it. Just a less capable one. And will people use AI to create rude messages? Yes. People already create rude messaages today even without the help of AI.
My partner. She continues to be my best friend, my most trusted advisor, my team mate, my teacher, and my moral inspiration. I love her dearly, she's incredibly principled, and absolutely hilarious. We're trying to save up to buy a house together currently and I am so very thankful I've found someone I feel so relaxed with - enough to start planning together into the future.
Just because it’s how it’s done doesn’t mean it’s not anti-competitive. Government procurement should be sourcing from multiple vendors and requiring interoperability from all of them. Otherwise it’s way too easy for megacorps to lobby their way into a contract and offer products at a loss before cranking up replacement and repair costs by a 10,000% markup since the govt has no choice but to pay it.
The stolen CCs are not part of the laundering (that's just fraud/theft). I think it's easier to talk about laundering cash from drug sales. You buy an Apple Gift card with the cash. Use the gift card to buy jewels in an app you control, and now you have cleaned your drug money.

The challenge with doing this at scale on the App Store is the account requirement. Apple also likely has controls on how many gift cards you can redeem over a period of time. You also need an app that looks plausibly functional. The amount of money people supposedly spend on gems or whatever will help though.
>If we can make something that appears to be able to mimic human responses, isn't that AGI in practice even if it's not in principle?

for the purposes of safety, no, absolutely not. the concern is that humans build an AI capable of improving itself, leading to a runaway cycle of rapid advancement beyond the realm of human capabilities. "appearing to mimic human responses" is a long ways off that, and not a "robots take over the world" scale of safety risk.

Imho M1 airs are the best bang for buck as mid-whatever-range laptops. Especially if one finds a 16gb one. Crazy if you think that before, the base macbook air you could get at the same original price would be a mere i3 one, while m1 actually competes well in raw performance with i7. Unless somebody wants something specific that M2/3 have that M1 does not, M1's price/performance ratio is hard to beat.

It’s hard to get a full picture, but reading the text reviews on Google Play [1] makes it seem like these app are the kind that require subscriptions for no reason and are really aggressive about asking for reviews.

The hip joint is pretty isolated from the rest of the body I assume, I had the same question for my surgeon and he told me there was no way for that to happen.
It's "ok" along these axes, a bootstrap for gcc isn't all that straightforward either, the main difference being that if you've already done "apt install build-essential" or similar it just so happens that "it's done" - albeit entirely non-hermetically and the bounds of "it" is probably entirely unknown to the user. I had this discussion with a kernel engineer once who insisted gcc had almost no external dependencies, and he believed this for this reason.

The parts that make it only "ok" are largely cmake derived problems - yes there's sometimes incomplete docs and so on, but largely the confusing parts come from the multi-project split and cmake reconstitution. I'm particularly excited for a future when llvm-libc has made some more progress, at which point a very hermetic build will get quite a bit easier.

The thing is that if you're cross-building this is really the answer, cross building with the deeply intertwined gcc chains is an equally awful experience. I'll take a static clang tool build I can zip up and give to everyone (except nix, because they decided loader hell should only be played on max difficulty) over a fragile distro intertwined mess any day.
Git itself doesn't run a persistent process and I don't see how it'd make sense to prevent a user from making arbitrary changes to their local repo, so this sounds like just another server like GitHub, Gerrit, Gitlab, etc. that already have those features.
This seems like app for CrossFit that cannot legally use the name "CrossFit".

I like it, I used to do CrossFit but now all gyms are too far for me (and too expensive).

Do I _need_ apple watch though? I have just an iPhone.

edit2: and thinking about it more, I am not sure what will other "normal" gym people think when I do the AMRAP thing and jump around gym. Hm.

If you have GERD or similar you should be on a PPI, not over-the-counter antacids. I can't imagine a doctor recommending that except for mild, occasional complaints.

PPIs have their downsides, but they're the best available treatment to avoid acid damage.

Recently, I found a privilege escalation vulnerability in a shell script as a result of arithmetic expansion (similar to the one described at https://research.nccgroup.com/2020/05/12/shell-arithmetic-ex...). For example, $((1 + ENV_VAR)) allows you to inject code if you can control $ENV_VAR.

Unfortunately, shellcheck did not catch that. At least not with the default settings. But if you are implementing anything remotely security-critical, you should not be using shell anyway.
Yes you need to have n versions you support in parallel in the wild. One per released incompatible binary API (so in semver 1.x, 2.x etc). We support about 30 libraries with 5 ppl spread around a fortune 1000 org here and there. It’s quite tenable, we are just super strict regarding ticket policy and release notes, so we always know what’s released where. Just have a system. Stick to it. Keep things organized. Works like a charm. If someone wants a service out of those someone just packages them to docker and puts them to backemd somewhere. We can focus on pure business logic, someone else maintains services etc. Really nice setup.
