Ah and OF COURSE I get downvoted. I know it. This fucking site is filled with braindead morons, almost as bad as Reddit. But also some people with brains who point out who he really was. A disgusting war criminal and nothing less.

But you gonna honor a war criminal because the MSMBS media brainwashed you into praising him as a good man and great advisor or whatever the fuck they tell you to believe. He was the personification of evil foreign policy, typical elitist with no empathy and only one goal to expand the US empire by all brutal means possible. Seeing millions of lives just to be sacrificed for his great chess game.

But now we don't need horses so there are far fewer of them, and they are so completely unimportant to the economy that if they caused us any significant inconvenience we could kill them all without it being a significant issue.

From our perspective the lives of horses look pretty horrible, particularly their lives in service to us, but I don't think it would be very comforting to have an AI explain to me that humans aren't fully aware of the world in the way that greater intelligences are, that because of the mental issues in humanity which cause them to do annoying things like bombing data centres or cutting fibre optics cables the human population needs to be significantly resized to a more sustainable number, or anything else a human-equivalent that actually cared might explain to a horse-equivalent that could actually listen.

The point is that horses don't control their own destiny, and they aren't even important enough for us to particularly care about said destiny in anything other than vagaries. Horses that interfere with human society in some way get put down. I don't want to be put down or have no say in the future, so we shouldn't attempt to build something which has a reasonable likelihood of being as much smarter than us as we are smarter than horses.
That's a very interesting study. I'm surprised the relationship is so linear through all the way through the income percentiles, aside from the very bottom few. I would have expected a relative plateau in the middle.
What do you mean by this? What is wrong with the engine and transmission choice of Subaru that makes it a handicap?
Well, that's a "real" Saab, the newer ones are just built on the GM standard platform with a bit of Saabish styling.
I'm going to guess it's not about leadership. From the Lex Fridman interview he claims to be personally involved in all hires - and spend a good fraction of his time evaluating candidates.

- He's not going to hire someone he doesn't like

- Someone that doesn't like him is unlikely to join his team

So it's very likely the whole staff ends up being people that "like" him or get along with him. He did come off as a charming smooth talking - and I'm sure he has lot of incredibly powerful friends/connections. But at least from that little window into his world I didn't feel he showed any particularly brilliance or "leadership". He did seem pretty deferential to ML experts (which i guess he's not) - but it's hard to know if it's a false humility or not
One thing that Japanese did really well is keeping their language identity. In particular, they don’t translate their words. They give us gyoza instead of dumplings. They give us ramen instead of some lame-ass noodle. They give us Sudoku instead of number puzzles. So much so that Japanese words have some kind of zen-like connotation to many people. In contrast, mainland Chinese always translate words to English. Ironically, gyoza is literally Chinese word 饺子，and Ramen is really the Chinese word 拉面。

People always drive, not to within certain parameters of the law, but to within their risk tolerance. As cars become more safe, the risk factor reduces which allow people to increase risky behavior.

If you want people to drive better, don't put airbags in their steering wheel, put a 6" metal spike pointed at their chest.
We have a newer Subaru and were getting flashed like it was Mardi Gras. I started looking into adjusting the lights and found several places talking about how the Subarus are to high right from the dealer and their service department. That was enough to convince me to just do it.

I don't have a level spot with the recommended distance so we went with some tape on the garage door as a reference. We got them a tad low the first time and raised them up a bit. I can still see and apparently everyone else can too because nobody is flashing their lights at us.

Our other vehicle is a 2014 3/4 ton Ram pickup. Nobody ever flashes me in it.

> Also don't they all have equity in OpenAI?

Call me a cynic but this must be the reason behind those 700 employees threatening to walk away, especially if as it seems the board wanted to “slow down”.

I don’t think it’s so much of a “we love Altman” as “we love any CEO that will increase the value of our equity”.

He was partially responsible for the deaths of thousands of people around the world, and was responsible for some of the darkest chapters of us foreign policy during the 20th century. When do you think is an appropriate time to have these conversations? He's dead. Criticizing his impact on the world can hardly affect him now. The people in Cambodia he helped murder had families too. Are hackers not supposed to care about ethics or humanity? Why wouldn't Kissinger's death be an inappropriate time to discuss his legacy?
That’s why they put all those pictures and descriptions on book covers.
What are you on about? There was no stealing and there was no plagiarism.

They made a PR that was built on top of another PR. The authorship information was preserved in the git history, and there was no attempt at deception. They also supposedly collaborated with the author of the original PR (which was never denied by either of them). All of this is totally normal working practice.

Those allegations of "stealing" just stem from a GH user piling onto the drama from the breaking change by pointing out where the initials from the new file format come from (which wasn't called into question on the original PR).

They were also not banned for those stealing allegations. They, as well as the author from the reversal PR were banned, as the maintainer deemed the resulting "drama" from the breaking changes to be a distraction to the project goals. The maintainer accepted the PR, and the nature of the breaking changes was obviously stated, so that drama wasn't completely on jart.
I hope this is part of his larger plan to delete Twitter.

Nvidia should enjoy this period while it lasts. I fail to see any future where custom ASICs don't each their lunch.

There's so much opportunity for custom silicon to massively improve compute-per-watt -- for both for training and inference. Nvidia got lucky with their high-memory GPUs being early to this space, but the usefulness of that architecture has already peaked.
The amazing thing is that steam engines were made out of iron for most of the 19th century. Steel wasn't available in bulk until about 1880.

The materials really matter. Early steam engines such as Newcomen's were insanely complicated and had terrible thermodynamic efficiency, because the parts couldn't stand any real pressure.

Consider a Diesel. A basic Diesel engine is a very simple machine. Here's a rural mechanic in China restoring one from junk status to running, using basic tools.[1] It's a brutally simple one-cylinder engine, widely used in Japan and India. No pollution controls. No water recycling; you have to add water as often as fuel. No electrical components. Started with a hand crank.
Costs about US$200-$300 for a new one.[2]

Seems like someone would have been able to build one of those by 1700 or so. But no.
You couldn't build that engine without reasonably good steel. Even if you had one to copy, you could not build that with the technology of 1870. You need a strong cylinder, a strong cylinder head, and good piston rings that precisely fit the cylinder, or you won't get the compression to ignite the fuel. The first Diesel engine that worked was built in 1897.

Steel is interesting, because it's thousands of years old, yet wasn't mass produced until the 1890s. A Bessemer converter is very simple. The Romans could have built one. But it took quite a bit of R&D to get the metallurgy right so that steel came out. Bessemer got his working, but others, with different ore sources, couldn't get theirs to work reliably. Robert Mushet did 10,000 trials over ten years of to get an understanding of exactly what ingredients do what. This debugged the Bessemer process, and the world changed.

The Romans had sword factories. They could make steel, but not in bulk. If that work had happened a centuries earlier...

Subaru has theirs adjusted too high from the factory. They are nice, bright lights, but now that I adjusted them down nobody flashes their brights at me.
I'm not ideologically opposed to what I think you're saying, but it is actually the case that many weapons are not allowed to be owned regardless of the second amendment. Nuclear weapons, for example. It doesn't matter if you build it entirely yourself using completely novel processes not owned by anyone, and acquired all inputs legally, it is still 100% illegal for a private citizen to own a nuclear weapon.

There is no legal reason why AIs couldn't be governed under the same principle.
Kissinger is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands people. They had families. They were real people who died.
Death doesn´t absolve someone from committing crimes against humanity. To claim that people should only talk about the good things person did is a serious case of decorum poisoning.
Nobody celebrates serial killers.
I'm sorry but not every person needs "counter programming". Kissinger was a war criminal and we don't need a "balanced take" of a monster

I suspect vision zero policy and phones are also major contributors. Traffic Engineers across the country are setting traffic lights to reduce the flow of traffic to 20mph without changing the actual speed limit. It’s making people crazy.
Japanese has a lot of loan words from Chinese, which isn’t surprising. They aren’t even written in katakana. Japanese are more likely to adopt phonetic translation of new things (like computer) whereas Chinese will make a new word diannao (electric brain). Of course Chinese not having an auxiliary phonetic writing system (unlike Japanese or Korean) makes this necessary, although that’s probably by design (not completely true, some non-Chinese languages use Chinese as a phonetic writing system!).
But from the same paper:

> One such theory is that health and longevity are related to differences in medical care. The present analysis provides limited support for this theory. Life expectancy for low income individuals was not significantly correlated with measures of the quantity and quality of medical care provided, such as the fraction insured and measures of preventive care. The lack of a change in the mortality rates of individuals in the lowest income quartile (Figure 1) when they become eligible for Medicare coverage at the age of 65 years further supports the conclusion that a lack of access to care is not the primary reason that low-income individuals have shorter life expectancies.
>“Which is equivalent to "if it is good for them it should likely cost prisoners something" i.e. "if it is good for them it likely should not be free for prisoners".”

You will have the same conclusion if there is no “likely” in the sentence, so you are obviously trying to pretend it is not there or you likely need basic logic course. (Don’t ignore likely here again, though)
Lilium is one of the companies that aimed for the "air taxi" market and touted any space or roof. They've since both increased the size of their planes a bit and dropped the idea in favour of flying between dedicated sites and backed away from the "air taxi" vision towards flying between small regional sites.

I think the issue being that even if you get to the noise level needed, convincing regulators about the safety will take a long time.

I think there will be market, and it might also very well make expansion of existing airports less controversial if it is for less noisy tiny electric VTOL planes, but I think at best in the short to medium term they'll also be able to fly to helipads.

Getting additional locations approved will probably happen, but I suspect it will be a very slow, arduous process at first, which will only accelerate once people have both spent significant time near a landing site and not felt inconvenienced enough to oppose one elsewhere and flown in these planes and felt them convenient enough to want them nearby.
The B58 and B48 are quite impeccably good engines, both in terms of reliability and also performance/response. I had an excellent experience with my B58-powered M240i. I've also never heard anyone needing to do anything in practice with timing chains on these engines, even at high mileage. It seems the whole car would be worn out before the timing chain wears out, provided you use decent quality oil and don't neglect oil changes.

The older N52 engine is also very solid and reliable, my high mileage 2006 330i (E90) has been rock solid reliable in its powertrain.

My mechanic told me the N20 engine is terrible though, he has encountered an absurd number of them failing. The N54 is solid enough mechanically, though they get HPFP issues and need occasional cleaning of soot/gunk from valves.
There are plenty of people all around the world who know what heinous things he did. He won’t ever be mourned, and hopefully we never see the likes of him again

It's not that clear and much more complex. If you follows the whole history of China's foreign policy, it's surprisingly consistent and the focus is never "competing with someone".

To the topic of ‘Wolf Warriors’, the policy dropped as early as May 2021 so it's highly possible that the change itself is not economic related (https://thediplomat.com/2022/01/is-china-putting-wolf-warrio...). The targeted audience (of the foreign policy) may not be the West, but global south. There is a paper (I'm too lazy to find the link) claim that the ‘Wolf Warriors’ rhetoric used by China's diplomats in non-west country doesn't change much.

If you are intrested in the changes under Xi, Kevin Rudd has a series of deep analysis: https://viet-studies.net/kinhte/WorldAccordingtoXi_FA.pdf. Generally China's decision making process doesn't care too much about winning or competing or any particular goal especially in short term. They are based on long-term analisys of "what will happen inevitably" and back track from that conclusion. Many of these decisions make no sense from West's perspective under a cost-benefit analysis.

The danger that OpenAI blew up in some way, either by firing Sam and having the company fizzle under some new bad CEO, or by having the company quasi acquired by Microsoft and thus leading to typical acquisition badness, or some other sort of chaos.

Personally I don't care about their "financial value" per se, I just like using ChatGPT a lot, I'm excited about the field of AI, and I would be disappointed for the leading startup in AI to fail in such an avoidable way.
Is this something that's happening because of something Japanese people are doing or because of the perception of Japanese culture where foreigners like Japanese words and thus don't translate it?
If you fed Americans Chinese news stories from Chinese media directly, they would have an even lower opinion of China. Give an American a copy of global times or China daily (you can find them at the airport) and watch them wonder if this is satire or real!

For me it's a red flag.
Twitter does not have to rely on the market (that evidently does not want it) for income when there is an alternative income model available:

A patron, or patrons, could pay twitter to operate at a loss. There are many wealthy authoritarian states that would welcome additional surveillance tools for identifying and targeting undesirables (to enable torturing and/or killing) and obtaining technical staff for such a business pivot would not be that difficult. The only problem is the negative reputation twitter has with policy makers at this time. The likes of Edelman, BAE Systems Inc., Academi and RANE are able to enjoy their niches in this growing international industry and operate in the USA at the same time by cultivating friends in the Beltway and it's unclear whether Yaccarino and Musk have the right mindset to even hire the people who can make Twitter corporate enough to fit in around there.

> ...was an almost superhuman ass-kisser.

This piques my curiosity. Does anyone have the mechanical specifics of how this worked, as in actual conversations when Kissinger was in his element that demonstrated this quality in action?

Teens today who have never experienced Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field normally don't believe my shorthand description of the RDF like the above encapsulated description of "superhuman ass-kisser". Fortunately, I can show them the historical records, giving them not just the video of his meticulously-rehearsed MacWorld presentations, but the context of the enormous stakes he was playing with, to change their minds. And to teach them that what seems extraordinary can be accomplished with extraordinary effort, if one is willing to relentlessly study and practice.

So whenever I hear about extraordinary abilities, I'm always curious to see how they worked up close, mechanically, in dissect-able action.
