I'm OK with uncensored anything for adults. In fact, I'd call myself "free speech absolutist". But I am not OK with uncensored content for little kids.

Obviously such decisions must be made on application, not model side.
There is extensive case law to answer these questions, and I don't think they're the right questions to ask. The two big questions imo are "What does it mean that models can disgorge copyrighted material upon request?" and "Who owns material generated by a model?"
> I perceive a moving of the goalposts as machine intelligence improves.

Goal posts only exist in games.

These systems are engineering products to be leveraged in enginenering processes. We want to understand what they're good at and what they're bad at, and what potential they show for further refinement. There are no goal posts or "happy with" criteria in that context, and when we find ourselves adjusting the language we use to describe them because of how we see them work, we're trying to refine our ability to express their capabilities and suitabilities.

Intelligence, in particular, is a very poor and ambiguous word to be stuck using in technical contexts and so we're likely to just gradually shed it over time to reduce confusion as we hone in on better ways to talk about these systems. We've repeatedly done the same for earlier advances in the field, and for the same reason.
The franchise really went down in quality with the last movie, Big Hero 6.
If its just a few simple things you list, I might stick with HyperV. If you care about more sophisticated VLAN'ed networking setups I would probably go proxmox. But hardware passthru is a can of worms so understand there will be a tradeoff.

Might be important if you are trying to find ways to prevent suicide. Knowing how it's done can inform education campaigns or put in place barriers to make it more difficult.

When we choose one simple use-case and apply it to everything we lose out. Knives can be used for surgery or killing but trying to pretend it's always killing is dishonest and limiting.
Your writing is nice and coherent. Maybe put more effort/energy into writing more, polish your skills further, increase depth, and develop some reputation around that. People may come to value your expertise and inputs. Of course, it may take a while before you can find the right niche/medium for it to be a foundation for a "stable career".
For men, eat less and exercise is usually enough. Our caloric needs seem to taper off quite a bit, but it's easy to want a lot more than we need, and to want it a lot more often than we need.
Yes. SQL is much better for relational data with a strict schema. Though you'll still never get a way to express recursive queries in SQL w/o a lot of verbosity.
Telegram is what software should be. Silicon Valley companies should learn a lot of things from them. How to build great features with great UX, branding and most important blazing fast performance. Our apps are so clunky in comparison.
Oof. I wonder if the outcome could have been different if someone from legal had been on the line. Hostile work environment, constructive dismissal, etc.
Yeah, I agree.

Even knowing that parallel construction exists, it's still pretty shocking to see it used in practice.

eg I'm aware of a case here in Seattle where the Seattle PD coordinated with the feds to use a Stingray in the arrest of a fugitive. They thought they knew exactly where he was, and just used the Stingray to confirm his location before using a cooperating informant to lure him out of the building.

The police report of the incident has all of the officers creatively neglecting to write the full truth of how the arrest occurred, not a peep about the Stingray at all.

> A chief goal of artificial intelligence is to build machines that think like people.

I disagree with the topic sentence.

The goal should not be to "build machines that think like people", but to build machines that think, period. The way humans think is unlikely to be the optimal way to go about thinking anyways.

Instead of talking about thinking, we should be talking about function. Less philosophy and more reality. Can the system reason itself through various representative challenges as well as or better than human? If yes, it doesn't much matter how it does it. In fact, it's probably for the best if we can create AI that thinks completely different than humans, has no consciousness or self awareness, but still can do what humans can do and more.
Please post it if possible. I couldn’t figure out the stacking API, and I miss that feature from i3.

Jobs don't fall out of the sky, but generally, agreed.

I have 30+ years of IT in my resume. The skillset sheet is a whole 2nd page, by itself. This isn't because I'm Wile E. Coyote, Supre-genius, but after 30+ years, if you're not an moron, you pick up a wide variety of skills.

As a simple example of OSes I know or have worked in, to various levels, *nix, all versions of Windows, OS/2 WARP, Novell 3.x-5, Motorola AIX, SCO Unix, VAX VMS (just a touch), Cisco IOS, and many obscure IoT CLIs, like Microtik, Sophos XG, or more obscure stuff like the AT commands to open and close valves on an LCMS (an instrument used to analyze compounds) and I'm likely missing some.

As you may be able to tell, I started a long, long time ago, in a world where 110/300 bps access to another computer over phone lines was the internet and Compu-serve is where the chatrooms were. In fact, I still remember my compu-serve ID and password, not because it's useful, but the weirdest shit sticks sometimes.
It has been made clear by all the Stripe requests here that result in solutions that HN is the official support channel for Stripe.

This is especially true when you consider that it seems universal that Stripe's communication channels are ... remarkably lacking.

In general, your comments strike me as reflecting a very naive understanding of how anything works. Legal responsibilities are simply not the only thing that matters. This entire episode was about 95% a PR battle, which the board lost and Altman won. If it's not obvious to you that the board's legal rights and responsibilities had essentially zero to do with the outcome here, then I really don't know how to help you.
Hmm, yandex.ru backend? No likey.
Is that why it immediately started colonizing it's neighbor when it could get away with it (as in, when it didn't cost too much to keep the colonies secure)? Also, what other country in the world is allowed to literally push settlements outside of its territory, and then slowly conquer said settlements? Actually,which other country it allowed to colonize anything without international condemnation?

'Politicians and the public tend to think all investment is good for growth, an error that leads to all sorts of muddled thinking about climate.

Technological transformations are positive supply shocks: a new, more efficient technology comes along, and investment naturally gravitates toward this new technology because it is profitable.

By contrast, the green transition is driven by public policy. It is “a negative supply shock, with an accompanying need to finance investments whose profitability cannot be taken for granted,” French economist Jean Pisani-Ferry wrote in a report commissioned by the French prime minister and released in English in November. “By putting a price—financial or implicit—on a free resource (the climate), the transition increases production costs, with no guarantee that the reduction in energy costs will eventually offset them, while the investments it calls for do not increase productive capacity but must nevertheless be financed.”

Pisani-Ferry, who is affiliated with the Bruegel think tank in Europe and the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington, is an uncommonly clear thinker on this issue.

He notes the transition involves hefty capital spending today to replace fossil-fuel consumption in the future. Pisani-Ferry estimates a middle-class French family would spend 44% of annual disposable income for a heat pump, and 120% for an electric car. These investments boost demand, but don’t leave families better off since they simply do the same thing as what they replace. And if taxes rise to pay for these investments, families will be worse off, financially.

“It would take an incredible act of blindness to fail to recognize that climate change is happening, that it is—and will increasingly become—severely damaging,” he writes. “It would also be incredibly flippant to claim that this urgent and imperative action will have no economic cost by 2030.”'

One thing I struggle to understand is, are LLMs just a large way of spitting out which token it thinks is best based on scoring? aka it's guessing at best?

How will they ever grow to the point where they are nothing more than just really good at guessing what to regurgitate based on what it's already seen?

Like when it spits out what would have been a StackOverflow answer (where the community votes if it is right/wrong and it's a living thing with comments to keep it up to date as it goes stale) but mixes up a few of the tokens making the whole thing mildly broken... are these systems just going to get really good? will they ever be trustable/perfect?
They also explained that Hemisphere searches are not required to be in support of drug-related investigations.

Why would they be?

If I had such a system, why would I waist it chasing pot dealers?

To complain about the system on that basis not only makes no sense at all, but totally misses the point of being against mass surveillance. It makes me wonder if these people are actually against mass surveillance at all?
Some notes on how you want to do this yourself:

1. Get atleast ten 1024x1024 images of a style you want (e.g. Lego). You can use SDXL/Midjourney to generate these if you are good at curation.

2. Train a LoRA on SDXL using those images.

3. Construct an image-to-image pipeline with the LoRA'd SDXL and pass along the input image as the base image. You can run for fewer steps (20-30 instead of 50) and/or preprocess the input image (e.g. segmentation).

There is a lot of other parameter tweaking for both training and generation which is where the added value is for websites such as these. But with a service like Replicate the pipeline is relatively cheap (~$0.50 for training, $0.01 for each image generation). And will only get much cheaper once people play around with LoRAs for smaller and faster models like ssd-1m-lcm.
This one right here, officer /s
Well there ya go, they said they weren't aware of anything. Case closed.

Anyone can go read the reports and judge for themselves what happened.

I don't see how anyone could go through it and think there was no collusion.

No, but I spat out a vague answer rather quickly and was too flippant ("maybe you could do something"), so it's a fair question. Realistically, even the motherboard design, including landing pad on the PCB and boot sequence of the chip, from the root of trust to initial firmware bringup, is going to be custom on systems like Graviton4. For example, these use the Nitro system, which exists as hardware, and it is a key point of the whole design. And AWS designs their services to even resist some level of operator compromise, e.g. an operator trying to exfiltrate secrets from the Nitro system, so the amount of people who can exert influence there is extremely limited. Individual parts like the CPU are as good as useless without the chassis (and power supply, and attached switch equipment) they belong to. Even if you had the whole thing, you might very well not be able to do anything with it, making it as good as a brick.

Even if Nitro was out of the picture or whatever, and you just had the raw package -- it's not like you can really make a motherboard magically from thin air for these devices based on just the CPU pinout, and the tolerances just for power delivery and memory buses are pretty tight, not to mention a gazillion other things.

More broadly, designing compute that is used purely in-house versus large-scale high-volume COTS designs, through e.g. OEM partners, is literally a difference of years and tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Support, documentation, supply chain relationships, etc. These take a lot of money to do right, and when you buy servers, part of the purchase goes to those departments, to fund them. Most places are better off just talking to Supermicro if they actually need servers, for that reason. But hyperscalers literally save ridiculous amounts of money by doing it themselves and not doing the other things Supermicro does, like OEM work, support, and NRE on generalist designs that are useful outside to third parties.
I'm pretty interested in this as well. I have moved from Notion to Obsidian for my personal notes, to-do lists and errata in preparation for this since obsidian uses local plaintext files.

What I would love to get working at some point is allowing an LLM access to my schedule, notes and goals and then have it help prompt me at appropriate times. "Hey, TJ I noticed you haven't worked out this week, it's sunny today this might be a good time". That sort of thing.

There seem to be good tooling around agents, prompt engineering, RAG etc. The 'glue' around getting the LLM to help figure out when appropriate time(s) to check in with me is the bit I am missing, but that's probably mostly down to me being an artist and only a very very JR hobbyist programmer though.
One, that book is filled with BS (https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/1/23895069/walter-isaacson-...). Second, I don't care if Elon had a tough childhood or is autistic or is high on ketamin all the time. He's got too much power, too much wealth and is displaying alarming behavior.
Yes. jq is essentially an XPath/XSLT for JSON. I'd say that jq is more powerful than XPath/XSLT, but that's neither here nor there since both can evolve to be as powerful as they need to be.
It is refreshing that the author's language expresses their findings as indicative of domains for attention and presumed improvement, rather than (as so is often the case, per Ximm's Law) making pronouncements which preclude such improvement!
>1. Don’t exercise to be thin. Exercise to be strong.

I am convinced that being strong is the single most important thing any human being can do once all of their basic needs are met.

After having entered thousands of houses as a volunteer EMT and seeing people younger than my parents who on the verge of becoming incapable of self-sufficient living due to frailty, no other problems just muscle (and bone) loss, I am absolutely irrefutably convinced that every single human being on earth would benefit from pumping some iron.

I just looked it up and even patients with brittle bone disease are highly encouraged to become as strong as possible through physical therapy because of the benefits of being strong.

There is but an insignificantly vanishingly small sliver of humanity too sick to strength train, even if it is just overhead pressing some cans of chicken noodle soup while you watch tv.
"As far as this particular product, it's touting cost efficiency, but that's not really dominating many decisions yet"

Why do these LLM startups have such large investments and such large spending? It's because the infrastructure costs of a GenAI startup is huge. That's most of the money that's changing hands. So, from the VCs down to accelerator platforms cost efficiency is a huge decision factor on all of this.
You would first have to define what you mean with "meaning" and "pareidolia" in this context.

First, try to make taking on challenges and self-improvement part of group culture.

You can introduce your team to various books/videos/articles around people overcoming all sorts of challenges on a day to day basis.

Such an environment motivates everyone to take on challenges: fitness, intellectual, social, and so on.

It is important not to single out anyone on a particular dimension. Acknowledge that we are all lacking in one area or the other - so make it a general team thing, something super normal within your group to work on enhancing both strengths/weaknesses.

As a practical step - share your own shortcomings, and how you have/are overcoming them. This sort of personal struggle, and your efforts to overcome will motivate others to share their own struggles and overcome them.
This solves one problem, in that I the consumer can be confident that my money is going to the artists I enjoy. I don't think it solves another problem, which is that you have a flat-fee being split many different ways. Most people don't listen to just one artist, they may shuffle their favorite songs or listen to a discovery playlist to find new favorite songs. Such a system isn't going to send $2 to 2 different artists per customer, it's going to send fractions of pennies to potentially dozens of different artists. Worse, the more music a person consumes, the more diluted their subscription fee becomes.

It doesn't really address the problem of paying artists per stream, it just means that the per stream rate is variable and dependent on how willing your fans are to play your music on repeat each month.

It's still probably better than the current model, but the only way I'd really be comfortable with it is if we cut out the middle-men. For example, a service owned and operated as a non-profit (or profit-capped) organization owned by an artist collective. The artists set the monthly price based on what makes sense for them to make a living, and the cut given to the service can be minimized to what it takes to run and build the service rather than what it takes to make a profit on top of the work of the artists.
I'm not saying that.

I'm saying that if one's goal was to save the environment they would focus on making those small cars, and as many of them as possible. Not Model Xs, not cyber trucks, not roadsters, etc

I don't think that would be a fair to Howard Hughes - he was a real deal engineer and suffered his illnesses and injuries mostly in private.

I see Musk more on the Tony Hsieh / John McAfee / John DeLorean type trajectory: the drugs, the ego, the need for attention and probably a few indictments as things fall apart.
How are western values (historical anomaly) different than authoritarian values (historical norm)?
This company knows that if they don’t do some things or their product causes harm to people they will get some and or more regulation from the government.

So they are different flavors of government intervention. Definitely not exactly the same.
Alignment just means that the software does what you want. Of course, any term can be appropriated and abused by whoever can gain from doing so. I still think it's important to have a concrete idea what one means when one uses words. For example, you wouldn't say that "medicine is a fucking scam" to mean that the healthcare industry is broken.

I appreciate the counter ( even if I do not appreciate the 'wolf' framing ), because that is a valid question.

Still, if the concern is about business viability, why is the consumer facing LLM that is not tied to a specific brand not allowed to exist? Surely, the demos provided to enterprise client would not suffer from such violent content, abhorrent nudity and hateful speech?

Why is internet flooded with images of LLMs giving clearly politically adjusted responses ( Biden/Trump being less recent, but clear example ) to Joe Schmoe? Is that a good look? Will that sell to enterprises better?

> 11% smaller by wingspan

Wingspan is not a good measure of "size", that's just an output of engineering decisions on how to get the actual payload into the air.

Range is not a measure of size. Making a smaller plane with similar range is a technological coup and major part of making smaller planes successful.
