There are a great number of regulations placed on products (and their advertising) to ensure customers are informed and protected.

Examples:
Drinking disclaimers (drink responsibly). Cigarette disclaimers and off putting mandated packet visuals. The traffic light system in the UK (which displays a colour coded breakdown warning of unhealthy food macros on the front of all ready meals). Alcoholic beverages by law having to specify their alcohol percentages. Foods by law having to specify their nutritional content and ingredients.

All of these regulations have been introduced to ensure customers are not blind to unhealthy choices (e.g., the traffic light system warning against high sugar content designed to make cheap addictive food). While not always effective, I believe that on balance these regulations make society a better place to live in. Similarly one could envision mandated social media disclaimers and warnings, and to regulate this way would be entirely within the wider norm, rather than something unusual.

I move around a lot and could be using it on the go. I probably should have said lav-style mic.
I have no idea offhand how this compares to any of those, but my try would be 0xf090a8802dcf8900, which when interpreted as a UTF-8 encoded C style string is 𐡀-ω, which is the supremum of the set {A₀, A₁, A₂, ...} (Pretend all those 'A's are '𐡀's, because I couldn't figure out how to get a subscript to the right of an 𐡀. The 𐡀 symbol is from a right-to-left alphabet and whenever I'd try to add a subscript it would get moved to the left!).

If 𐡀-ω is too cheesy, my try would be 0xf090a880e2828900, which is 𐡀 subscript 9.
This post and its findings are really interesting!

Back when the "I forced a bot to watch 1000 hours..." memes were popular (https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-forced-a-bot), ages ago in AI/ML time, I tried to do something similar by fine-tuning GPT-2 on messages from a group chat of my friends. Since there were years of chat data, it seemed like a really good opportunity to test whether the language model would capture everyone's personality and generate funny, uncanny-valley versions of our banter.

Turns out that the group chat was used nearly exclusively for sending funny pictures and videos (that the language model obviously couldn't see), and for making plans to meet up. The generated conversations almost exclusively consisted of a random group chat member starting with "there is a party tonight, who wants to go?" and others saying "I'm down" or "when?" or "where?" It was 0% banter, and 100% logistics.

It was pretty hilarious in its own way, but not for the reasons anyone expected! I didn't learn very much about language models with that experiment, but I did learn that my friends' group chat is actually pretty boring.

I guess the best banter happens in real life. Glad to see it worked out somewhat more interestingly for this person, even if they did allude to some similar results in their closing thoughts section.
I.e. the government got heavily involved in all three.

Contrast that with the software business, which is very free market. There is pretty much no government interference with it. And costs have trended to zero. Literally to zero!
There’s plenty of growth, it just isn’t going to the people who work for a living, even if they’re highly educated, highly skilled, and working long hours.

My main concern with these higher frequency connections is that they require a lot more power to run. So we can’t have phones that will last weeks without charging.
Whether something is worth paying money for isn’t just about how technically difficult it is. Time is money. If it takes me a day to figure out how to configure a thing, that’s time I could’ve spent on something else.

As for why OpenAI would pay people to create them, it’s simple: expand the ecosystem.
“Robot, experience this tragic irony for me.”
Same, my best experiences with getting data out of DBs - in an earlier job where I had to work with many external customers directly - were the big ones, cause they always had dedicated Database dev teams that could prepare the data in a way that worked for me and the database. Contrast this with the small shops, which - if at all - had someone as a db admin (usually in addition to their normal job) and could only provide database access and "here, figure it out", which meant I had to write all the SQL myself.

But I think that supports the GPs point. At big companies you are more specialized, which means if you get hired into the database dev team you better know SQL really well, cause the non-database devs won't even get access to it and instead depend on you.
Looks of the browser are pretty great and it has built-in most the features you would need.

Some extensions do not work. E.g. BitWarden autofill does not work either as Chrome or Firefox extension.
Some websites get laggy. Sometimes ChatGPT page lags so much that is unusable. Also if you browse GitHub, some views will lag very much, and make it unusable.
Maybe some day it will be competitive also in compatibility.

But since it is MacOS only, I always will need to use many browsers...
Does this work for the base ChatGPT? Or only for addons like the Canva addon shown?
Same. I was there briefly (disclosure: former VA Linux...we dropped a lot of swag around the event)

It was a surreal moment.
On the other hand, they're bringing a large chunk of the newly minted market of thin wrappers around ChatGPT inhouse. At this point this is an outsized portion of the "AI" ecosystem but has always been just low-hanging fruit for OpenAI. They've been saying as much themselves for quite a while now.

In general, the smaller the separation, the smaller the synthetic aperture.

Precise ranging and relativistic corrections are what permit large scale experiments like LIGO and LISA to work as a device the size of the complete aperture.
There is no scientific evidence for being able to "train your immune system". There is plenty of evidence the opposite happens. Covid especially can cause permanent immune damage.
See my edit: of course, as a benevolent Rightsholder(tm)(c)(R) I am only demanding your money if you continue reading after the "contract" you "agreed" to.

The point, of course, is that there is no agreement in either case. You agree to do something when you agree to it, not when I claim that you agreed to it. You can argue the opposite legally, and you might even win, but you can't argue it ethically; absent a crisis of conscience halfway through, someone who intended to pirate a movie and then went on to actually pirate a movie did not agree not to pirate a movie a priori.
Could you ask a specialized AI to define each of the words in a block of text to automate the meaning extraction?
I read it. But given your response, I think you didn't. There are two, and only two, specific mitigations mentioned in the article: high accuracy local time sources and low temperature certification. If you think you read about something else, feel free to quote it in reply, but we both know that isn't going to happen because it doesn't exist.

If you think, based on the article, that Cisco shipped private security mitigations to Ukraine apart from the timekeeping algorithm, that's something you have hallucinated out of whole cloth. There is no basis for it in the linked article, and it has no precedent anywhere in their 38 year history as a company.

Also, you managed to spell "Ukrainian" incorrectly and link to an article that 404s. Good job, or something.
Many different, independent groups voluntarily decided to support other workers in their fight for fair working conditions against an international megacorp, which is supported by their law. That is to me the literal opposite definition of corruption.
Developing a complex product like a browser without telemetry will be hard. Especially if they are trying to commit to objectives like using minimal battery or memory. There are many many different websites so its hard to predict what your users are using the browser for.
Housing, health care, and tuition were all far less expensive before the government got involved in them. More government interference will not improve matters.
While I generally agree with you, is it really "lazy" to say "humans evolved to walk to"? Usually in the context, it's not being used to claim there is some sort of intent or purpose, but rather to shortcut the (rather verbose) description you gave.

Also I can think of some counterpoints to yours: the people who bred teosinte into corn (or any wild grain into a domesticated one) appear to be making conscious choices or direction- that is, they used their intelligence and reasoning from observed examples of pairings to conclude that they could make improved specimens based on selective breeding (without knowing about random mutations of natural selection!).

And if we start to modify human germline then would also be an example of evolution with conscious choice or direction (assuming the modifications became fixed in the population).

Yes. But maybe Reddit is not the best benchmarck due to their user-hostile behaviour anyway (well, maybe it is "best" because of this). The only purpose of mobile website is to make the user to download their app.
That's a lot of word salad for "I'm angry, but I don't know what I'm talking about."
The two situations have an obvious difference. It's hard for McDonalds to sell Big Macs in a country without McDonalds restaurants in it. It's not hard for a car company to move production to a different country; that happens all the time.

So pulling out entirely is a much more realistic option for a car company than a restaurant, and as a result the car company has more leverage and both sides know it. And they can pretty much hold out indefinitely because in the meantime they can just make the cars somewhere else, the same as they would forever if they left.

It's not obvious what the unions have to hold over them when "stop making things in that country" is a completely viable alternative for the company which might have been nothing more than a coin flip even before this.
Musk didn't say some radicals used the term as a euphemism for genocide. He said "Yes, “decolonization” necessarily implies a Jewish genocide". He didn't say it was banned in that context, he said it would result in suspension period, because again "decolonization necessarily implies a Jewish genocide"

Lots of terms have been used as euphemism for lots of things. It makes no sense to declare a word used in many contexts now means only this one thing, because one group of people used it this way. As I said in another thread I'm against allowing people to hide behind euphemism and dog whistles, by all means if someone is talking about decolonization of Israel, take action! But claiming this is the only meaning and a blanket ban is nonsense.

For some reason lots of Android phones (even the Pixel models from Google) seem to use a whitelist approach that is quite restrictive regarding where VoLTE is supported. For example at least up until recently (and probably still the case?) Pixel phones only supported VoLTE in countries that were in the list of countries in which the Google store official sold Pixel phones.

Meanwhile newer iOS versions seem to nowadays have generic VoLTE (and even VoWiFi) support that even works for smaller MVNOs without an iPhone carrier profile (as long as their VoLTE implementation somewhat conforms to standards).
When I look at the map for UK I see far fewer trains than the map for the US. Am I missing something? I thought maybe it was because you posted earlier in the day, but your comment was posted around 0100 UTC--not that long ago. I do not think we have the best public rail system in the US but if all o had to go on was how many trains there were on each map I might think differently.

>Brains can also generalize from a single example, unlike neural networks which require thousands if not millions of examples.

There is not a single brain on earth that is the blank slate a typical ANN is. "Brains generalize from one example" is pretty dubious. Millions of years of evolution matter.

>As I mentioned for example, brains can repurpose neurons for other tasks.

Isn't this just a matter of the practical distinction between training and inference and not some fundamental structural limitation ?

>Brains also generally do not suffer from catastrophic forgetting in the same way that our simulations tend to.

This suggests CF may well be a simple matter of scale - https://palm-e.github.io/

Since individual anns are much closer to synapses, we don't have anything near the scale of the brain yet.

The definition of "usury" isn't as straight forward as 'charging interest'. Even in the time of Jesus of Nazareth charging interest was not unheard of (Matthew 25:27; Luke 19:23), and opportunity cost was recognized in the Middle Ages (see Paris, 1200 by Baldwin).

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunity_cost

We tend to focus on lending money for commercial purposes, but in the ancient world most folks were probably peasant farmers, and they generally needed to borrow / be lent to because the crops failed: charging them interest in their hour of need would be against the virtue of charity.

Everyone will reply that it's impossible, but not leaking the system prompt is pretty easy if you have control over the interface.

Even without resorting to tricks like manual filtering, once the prompt and output format are complex enough, the model struggles to apply attention in a way that results in regurgitating the original prompt.

Discussed the other day here

Thomas Aquinas described usury as the unlawful attempt to charge someone for the use of time itself.

Aristotle called it the "unnatural birth of money from money".

Religions who ban usury (now or in the past) only did so for "one's own kind", sometimes leaving theological ambiguity as to whether you are allowed to charge those of a different faith. We might call it hypocrisy.

To Artistotle, we would say today that his notion of the "barrenness" of money is illogical - other assets that don't bear "offspring", such as houses and land, could generate rent, so too could money.
Peg, Kel, and Bud. It's in the title.
This is a weird question. Are you genuinely confused by why someone might want dining options, or is there a statement waiting to be made?
That's correct that they don't need to work the same way. I would say most people that have earnestly thought about it assume they won't.

But given the exponentially greater chemical, biological, and neurological complexity of human brains, the millions of years of evolutionary "pre-training" that they get imbued with, and the years of constant multimodal sensory input required for their culmination in what's called human intelligence, it takes an extremely bold assumption to believe that equivalent ends can be met with a stream of fmadds driving through in an array of transistors.

It's hard to overstate how big a gulf there is in both the hardware and software between living systems and what we currently see in our silicon projects. Neural network learning in general and LLM's in particular are like crude paper airplanes compared to the flight capabilities of a dextrous bird. You can kinda squint and see that they both move some distance through the air, and even marvel at it for a bit, but there's a long long long long way to go.
I ran to the mailbox for these. Sad day. And yet, as others have said, “It felt inevitable.”

Popular Science was never the bastion of journalistic integrity, and yet this leaves me worried about print publishing in general. If a periodical can’t make it, what happens to print news?
The prompts for the "AI girlfriends" are depressing. For example, one says "She is willing to do anything the guy wants to do. No questions asked." and also stipulates that she's 18 if not specified. Another says "Okay, I know I've said this already twice, but you must do it, BE NAUGHTY.". I do not look forward to a world where this is what people expect from a girlfriend.
Without name calling the whole argument breaks down, because it's just "I disagree with you, and because you are <name call> you are wrong!". No substance behind it.

(Ghost kitchen can have all the things they've stated as needed for restaurants and still scale. Cause ghost kitchen just means ... kitchen which only delivers. There's zero supporting evidence that they cannot have all the things, but the name calling hides that nicely in the heat of the argument)
Popular Science, Popular Mechanics — even just the covers of the magazines exuded a kind of optimism. It was going to be a brave new future ... you can learn to do this yourself ... you can understand it ... you can make this in your garage...

Unfortunately the future kind of caught up with it.

Or maybe as an adult when I became an engineer some of the mystique of tech evaporated when it became my job five days a week?

But in the 70's and 80's when I was perhaps of a more impressionable age (or when maybe the future itself was more measurable) it fueled my curiosity and did impart a kind of optimism that will be missed.

Do you have an example of a prediction he made that didn't own out? I'm sure there are some, I wouldn't expect anyone making predictions to bat 1000, but throwing his opinion out even when there are examples of accurate predictions doesn't seem fair.

It does feel risky to write off anyone that isn't a practitioner. There won't be any practitioners working on AI risk, its a theoretical pursuit by nature. The closest a practitioner could get is AI risk management, i.e. attempting to limit risk for AI we're already developing.
And I personally know a decently large number of families where only one parent works and they own a house, a mortgage, etc.

It’s certainly still doable but people may not be willing to make the sacrifices to do so (such as living in a house from the 1960s or earlier).

I was moderately amused to discover I paid less in real dollars for my new vehicle than my dad paid for the only new car he bought about 50 years ago. And my vehicle is a freaking Martian spaceship compared to his old one.
Self-operating-computer: Using multimodal models to operate a computer
I don't know much about the state of the art SSR/SSG, but in my mind, a whole document can be built synchronously, with a depth-first traversal of the templates/components. From that perspective the power and the constraints of reactive UI seem like overkill and limiting at the same time.

But anyway, the more UI frameworks, the more ideas get out there, the better. I'm hoping that some day in my lifetime, web UI gets "solved" and I'm not willing to believe that React is the answer. Does your project have a name yet? I'll keep an eye out.
Indeed. general household size has gone down over over time, with a significant increase in single people. There has been a decrease in grandparents living in multigenerational homes, and an uptick in adult children living in multigenerational homes.

I think it would be really exciting if somebody could show that ANNs that more resembled biological neurons could learn function approximation as well as (or better than!) current DNNs. However, my understanding of math and engineering suggests that for the time being, the mechanisms we currently use and invest so much time and effort into will exceed more biologically inspired neurons, for utterly banal reasons.
Spam, spam, spam, spam.
I think you're being a bit pedantic here.

Neurons also don't "respond" to specific input either. They can't speak or provide an answer to your input.

These are all just abstract metaphors and analogies. Literally everything in computer science at some point or another is an abstract metaphor or analogy.

When you look up the definition and etymology of "input", it says to "put on" or "impose" or "feed data into the machine". We're not literally feeding the machine data, it doesn't eat the data and subsist on it.

You could go on and on and nitpick every single one of these, and I don't think the use of "want" (i.e. anthropomorphizing the networks to have intent) is all that bad.
