Google has been building their own hardware since they started - first racks & servers then networks/data center then boarfs, semi custom cokponents and then components.

Mandating that SW/Services companies be forbidden from silicon is every bit as absurd as prevention hardware manufacturers from toching software. The playing field for software is incredibly level these days - everyone uses the same IP vendors, design services & contract fabs.

If you want smaller companies, reform it'll be much easier to get rid of tax pyramiding that favours mega corps.

Likely a mismatch of the type of English, if the site treats only EN-US (or EN-UK) as english and hasn't included the other, which would just be a mistake.

Then it might switch to your second preference. Alternatively if your device OS is set to dutch, or have some language system like a virtual keyboard or input manager set to dutch, the site might look at that over the user-agent? Very odd choice if any of those.
Is OpenAI trying to summon the AntiChrist (joke)
Lots of replies, and most are misguided, so I'll add:

I am a B2B SaaS business based outside the US. Tax withholding is not applicable between my customers and me, or at least it is not my responsibility. VAT is solved by reverse charge.

I do have payment processing set up (with Braintree). The above AMEX requirements were on top of that — a completely separate procedure, just because AMEX feels different.

As to the W8 BEN discussion, be careful with your biases: it might seem "obvious" to you that everyone needs to comply with whatever IRS requires of US businesses, if you live in the US. But I have customers in 44 countries. If you are American, before you state that something is obviously required, take a look at this (from recent E-mail):

"Self-Certified Filled Form 10F will be required"

"Permanent Account Number or Aadhaar Number of the assessee if allotted"

"Period for which the residential status as mentioned in the certificate referred to in sub-section (4) of section 90 or sub-section (4) of section 90A is applicable"

Still looks obvious? Those are from India, and I'm pretty sure these requirements seem totally obvious to my Indian customers.

Don’t disagree with your general point though. Also there is always the option of industrial espionage as we have seen.

Leaving the politics aside, it will be interesting to see what technical solutions emerge if the ‘easy’ option of spending a few hundred million dollars on a couple of EUV machines isn’t available.
This leads to a dangerous path.

If you are not willing to engage with or understand the other side of the debate you will have no capacity to understand or debate the modern day Kissingers who are currently in government.

That’s the core point. Of course Asian culture is more different. Probably a better example would be for a Brazilian to visit some African tribe.

Why do you think he did?

He's indicated he thinks that Twitter's liberal censorship was an existential threat to man. I think boosting his own messaging has to have been one of the motivations (though maybe not the most pressing one).
> His idea that Ukraine should give up territory to please Russia made it clear that he don't understand modern Russia or Putin. It's not a conflict in which he has no relevant experience or any deep insight, yet he felt the need to use his influence to present his poorly thought out idea.

And yet it is exactly this behind the scenes that Ukraine European backers are pushing Zelensky to do. When it is clear that the war is a quagmire and Ukraine is underperforming.
I think you may be gravely undervaluing the importance of all world leaders coming together under one roof to get their grievances on the record.

But no, it's not a utopian organization, it's just the best we can do atm.
I can totally understand the pain involved in setup. I have done the same with postfix+dovecot for our outgoing email servers and we now have 8 outgoing and 1 + 2 backups incoming allowing us to reboot for updates without losing too much capacity.

I agree that the setup is a complete PITA but to be fair, postfix, at least, is very old and didn't have the benefit of what we've learned about best-practice configuration like having a single conf.d directory so things sit alongside each other nicely. The documentation is also very terse but Wietse did tell me that he's busy enough maintaining the software and porting all the docs is a mammoth task. I did do something myself converting the text files to markdown and using a SSG but there is too much stuff that I didn't understand well enough to re-word. There are also a tonne of compatability which has been added over the years which is no longer needed but still makes the docs feel a little overwhelming.

My top-tip though, is to invest time in the Ansible setup script to avoid the scourge of following out-of-date blog posts line by line. We got to the point where we can provision a new server (manually) run the script and have everything setup ready to go, which is super helpful.

The other important part is to monitor what is happening. Blacklisting can come upon you quickly and not always for an obvious reason but if you don't notice, it might be harder to resolve later and you might have lost a tonne of email. Instead, I semi-regularly spot an error in a log file and have to email someone or login to some ancient web page to request removal from a blocklist. We are generally always successful but it is also worrying that we have no direct control over it.
It can apply across a whole economy though. You could argue half of the population is obese thanks to economic policies that improve GDP. That will impact gross national happiness.

Sure -- if you're a libertarian who thinks it should be possible to purchase an F16 without a background check, that seems consistent with the position that an amoral GPT-4 should be broadly available.
His core claims seems spot on to me, and his approach is nice and methodical. Not sure about the interpretation of it. I expect there are several different "slow but better" experiments in agency that OpenAI have been researching, among several different lines, including the ones he pointed to! Including Everything of Thoughts - XoT,Graph of Thoughts - GoT,STaR and so on. Using meta-cognition with rewards for a guided space search is a sensible area of research with different approaches worth looking into. (There is a good tweet storm by Carlos E. Perez on XoT and some related methods here: https://twitter.com/IntuitMachine/status/1724454898610167973 )
so much this, he kept introducing clauses in contracts that tied investments to him, and not necessarily to openai. He more or less did it with microsoft, to a small degree. So his firing could have caused quite a lot of money to be lost. But ok no big deal.

But then he tried to do it again with a saudi contract. OpenAI board said explicitly they didn't want the partnership, and especially not tied to Altman personally being the CEO as a clause.

Altman did it behind their back -> fired.

This is the rumour on the streets, unconfirmed though

While SUVs are on the rise in Europe, there's still a large gap between what Europeans consider a large SUV and what Americans consider a large SUV. I'm European and I drive what I consider to be a large car: A 2014 Nissan Qashqai. I'm sure it is considered a small can by Americans. There are bigger SUVs on European roads (like the Volvo XC90) but the true American behemoths are rare here. It's usually Americanophiles driving tricked out RAMs.

Japan definitely has their own business culture, which has pros and cons (e.g. it is very seniority-aware, but that’s also a negative).

It seems to fit well engineering, but it is not that good of a fit for software development - as they are generally not too great at the latter. I have only heard these things, so not even first-hand experience, but due to a senior people basically “have to be” at a higher position, there are software companies where the higher ups don’t know shit about what is even a computer.

> without direct instructions or training for deception

...except that the LLM probably logically infers the instruction from the study design. In other words, 'based on my training data, this is what you are trying to nudge me towards'. Reminds me of that pub sign in that Matrix 4 movie, that reads "for those of you who like to eat shit" which is recursive in nature, of course, because they made the movie like they did on purpose even though they didn't have to and simply flushed their creative freedom down the drain for the sake of going meta and pointing fingers. Lovely, lovely.
a sane company has a plan for succession, even if worst case scenario Altman has a sudden medical issue or car crash or something.

It tells a lot that Altman made openAI so dependend on him that his ousting could have killed the company. That's also contributing to the fact that the board was not trusting him

Humor me. What happens if he goes senile and continues to rant?

Like what is the worst that happens?
My impression has always been that cool cars are expensive because rich people are willing to pay for comfort and status, and as such they're expensive to repair and likely to need it because the cost goes to superfluous vanity/comfort/speed aspects rather than reliability, which is what sensible people pay for. Buying a used luxury car is often a huge financial mistake, because they're either meant to not be driven, or only meant to be repaired at a high cost paid by someone who doesn't need to care about proportionally little money to them.

After all, the most reliable car is no car :) When my 2009 Volkswagen (which was fun to drive sometimes) finally shit the bed, I wasn't in the position to need another or afford one, and I now lived somewhere where there were viable alternatives. Ever since then, when the prospect of considering a new one crosses my mind, I just think about how much of a liability it really was, and without the original constraints of an obtuse commute, I'd just be buying it for hypothetical impromptu road trips, and paying an extremely high cost to do so over time; insurance, gas, lots of repairs and basic maintenance at specific shops, the risk of accidentally hitting someone or getting into an accident, that attrition on my body from not walking enough, parking fees, broken windows, fuuuuuck that

Now when I need one, and I do maintain my license, I just rent an arbitrary new car for the week or so I might need it, and that's so far been pretty serviceable except for post-pandemic shortages and demand.

The heads' movement look like chickens plucking. Goes to show that simply copying nature is just enough once again, no need for super advanced lasers.
'attempted objectivity' is better. It would include:
- narrator reveals his convictions at the start
- focuses on things that physically happened
- weigh dual/multiple interpretations and views of said events from relevant factions, attempting the greatest charity with the one(s) opposed to the initially revealed convictions.
Sure it does. The way a new car keeps value is a factor in how popular a car is. High demand for 10 year old models will influence how well new models sell.

It's e.g. the main reason why you'll wait months if you want to buy a new Volkswagen van, even though it is tens of thousands of dollars more expensive than similar vans. Much easier justifying buying a T7 when T5s with 100k miles still sell for more than other vans cost new.

I think we are talking about entirely different classes of hardware.

The z16 is designed to run applications that cannot fail. In some cases, the datacenter is expressly built around these systems to accommodate their unique capabilities.

The Graviton line is designed to run as many applications per unit of volume and power possible for a multi-tenant, hyperscale ecosystem.

If a CPU core goes bad on a Graviton chip, you would likely need to redeploy your EC2 instance (or it would be done for you automatically). This would almost certainly have some downtime for your application. In the z16, if an entire CPU goes out, you hypothetically won't drop a single transaction if you followed IBM's guidance.
It was already great, and this is more great for those who get Docker-Compose or are patient enough to figure out. But if you're gonna have Docker, you could also use bleeding edge llama.cpp with a few more lines too! What a time to be alive innit!
You need to be careful about what you mean by "steam engine time."

The link you gave has different interpretations. Gibson said "there was nothing technically stopping the Romans from building big steam engines" while the commenter says "The Romans had the idea of steam engines, but not of strong iron to contain the pressure, nor valves to regulate it, nor the cheap fuel to power it."

You apparently disagree with Gibson's characterization.

The original 1931 claim gives a third; "A social growth cannot find out the use of steam engines, until comes steam-engine-time"

However, As Anton Howes (co-author of the linked-to page) argues at https://www.ageofinvention.xyz/p/age-of-invention-why-wasnt-... , steam engines came decades after the pieces were available, and well after initial uses (like pumping water from a mine) were conceived of, and where there would have been social growth had they been available:

> So why did it then take almost another half a century, even with the increasingly widespread understanding of atmospheric pressure and vacuums, for a widely-adopted and practical atmospheric engine like Thomas Savery’s to appear?

> The answer, I think, is what it almost always is: that inventors are simply extremely rare. People can have all the incentives, all the materials, all the mechanical skills, and even all the right general notions of how things work. As we’ve seen, even Savery himself was apparently inspired by the same ancient experiment as everyone else who worked on thermometers, weather-glasses, egg incubators, solar-activated fountains, and perpetual motion machines. But because people so rarely try to improve or invent things, the low-hanging fruit can be left on the tree for decades or even centuries.

> The development of the steam engine, rather than being a story of the Torricellian vacuum science unlocking a new technology, is instead just like that of textile machinery, signalling systems, and any number of other “ideas behind their time.” The rate at which such inventions appear is really down to the number of people applying themselves to improvement, and the strange-seeming delays are down to there so often being so few. When only a handful of people are inventors, is it really any wonder that the circumstantial setbacks and distractions that prevented a Petty or a Kalthoff can end up delaying things for decades?
Often times I think it's just me and my eyesight getting older, which is certainly the case, but it kind of reassures me to see that there are other people noticing this insane phenomenon, too.

And I say it is insane because in many, many cases I just have to slow down when encountering those lights coming from the opposite direction, for the sole reason that I get blinded by them and I can't see the road for one, two, God knows how many seconds. It's insane, from a safety perspective, that we're allowing blinding devices out there on the road.
>And everything LLM can come up with will be exactly the same information you can find in any fiction detective book or TV series about crime.

As Nathan states:

>And further, I argued that the Red Team project that I participated in did not suggest that they were on-track to achieve the level of control needed

>Without safety advances, I warned that the next generation of models might very well be too dangerous to release

Seems like each generation of models is getting more capable of thinking, beyond just regurgitating.

Both you and the parent post are correct. There have always been bad drivers, a lot of them, and defensive driving is the best thing for that. But at the same time, I have anecdotally been observing a serious breakdown in people following the rules. All the things the parent mentioned have become more frequent in my experience -- the number of times I see blatant bad and malicious driving behaviours has increased significantly in the last few years, except I drive maybe a 3rd of the miles per year that I used to 5 years ago. The density of terrible/self-absorbed drivers has significantly increased.

It's gotten to the point where even defensive driving doesn't do much. How do you defensively drive against someone just blasting through a red light 15 seconds after it turned red and cross traffic is moving steadily? Or the guy in a lifted truck who decides to force you into the shoulder because he thinks it's funny?

Amazon packages reportedly overwhelm small post offices, delaying other mail
I live in a small town in Washington and this change recently took place. Until this article I had no idea it was part of a broader shift.

For our local post office it hasn’t had an impact on the mail itself, but they’re a lot busier handling incoming packages. One key difference with our community vs a lot of others though is we do not have any local mail delivery. It was always a crap shoot of if your orders are going to show up at your door or end up at the post office. But people are already accustomed to having to go to the post office and they don’t have to coordinate the delivery. We’re also talking about a community of 2,000 people at most.

> Except the reason why we dont all just killed each other yet have nothing to do with risk or cost of killing someone

Most of us don't want to.

Most of those who do, don't know enough to actually do it.

Sometimes such people get into power, and they use new inventions like the then-new-pesticide Zyklon B to industrialise killing.

Last year an AI found 40k novel chemical agents, and because they're novel, the agencies that would normally stop bad actors from getting dangerous substances, would generally not notice the problem.

LLMs can read research papers and write code. A sufficiently capable LLM can recreate that chemical discovery AI.

The only reasons I'm even willing to list this chain, is that the researchers behind that chemical AI have spent most of the intervening time making those agencies aware of the situation, and I expect the agencies to be ready before a future LLM reaches the threshold for reproducing that work.
