That's kind of the point: people online will say that's the 95 %ile level[0], and either they're taking the piss or they're self-selecting into a group that actually tries, so it's the 95 %ile of the 95%ile, or the 99.75 %ile.

Tailscale is basically automation and authentication/authorization and UI on top of Wireguard. You could do it all manually, but you'll need to know the details of how to configure raw wireguard exactly how you need it, which for many people is above their heads. There are a lot of things that tailscale automates, so you have to know a great deal in order to configure a wireguard net yourself to the equivalent

> Otherwise these numbers only take a bit of dedicated work to achieve

I think you may be underselling that a bit. I got to something like 370-80lb DL while weighing 185 some years ago, and it took nearly 3 years of dedicated work, eating tons of boring chicken, and a lot of lifestyle changes. It was pretty hard work and a of hours in total. I still lift weights, but don't have the focus and dedication to maintain that kind of lifting routine. Even at my max I was probably only edging into the "advanced" category.

Digital effects pedals have trouble emulating the nonlinear behavior of vacuum tubes, so I imagined the same issue would come up with mechanical implementations. I've never heard a digital trumpet that sounded much like a real trumpet.

> The interesting question is just who will be liable for the copyright violation

I don't think this is going to be hard for courts. If you borrow your friends copy of a copyright text, got to kinkos and duplicate it, then distribute the results - you are the one violating copyright, not your friend or kinkos.

The same will hold here I think, mutatis mutandis. This is all completely separable from the training issue.

I thought the NES was known for revitalizing the home console industry in America, not for killing Atari?

The events that lead to the "death" of Atari as they were at the time is commonly known as "the video game crash of 1983," meanwhile the NES didn't come out in American test markets until late 1985.
Around here (Midwest) we joke, it's not a complete Chinese Buffet unless it has mac-n-cheese.
This seems similar to Ramit Sethi's "Craigslist Penis Effect", which IIRC basically says that you only need to try a little bit to have better results than most people.
Smart - If it ain't written down it is not an offer.
A big red flag for me was that Sundar was prompting the model to report lots of facts that can be either true or false. We all saw the benchmark figures that they published and the results mostly showed marginal improvements. In other words, the issue of hallucination has not been solved. But the demo seemed to imply that it had. My conclusion was that they had mostly cherry picked instances in which the model happened to report correct or consistent information.

They oversold its capabilities, but it does still seem that multi-modal models are going to be a requirement for AI to converge on a consistent idea of what kinds of phenomena are truly likely to be observed across modalities. So it's a good step forward. Now if they can just show us convincingly that a given architecture is actually modeling causality.
Copyright law as it exists today allows one to create transformative works. There is little to suggest that an AI trained on copyrighted works is in any way violating that copyright when inference is run.
That's why they feel bad for those who supported the board as the ones that opposed the board may not have just done it based on the board's actions.
> Is there some sense in which this isn't obvious to the point of triviality?

This is maybe a pedantic "yes", but is also extremely relevant to the outstanding performance we see in tasks like programming. The issue is primarily the size of the correct output space (that is, the output space we are trying to model) and how that relates to the number of parameters. Basically, there is a fixed upper bound on the amount of complexity that can be encoded by a given number of parameters (obvious in principle, but we're starting to get some theory about how this works). Simple systems or rather systems with simple rules may be below that upper bound, and correctness is achievable. For more complex systems (relative to parameters) it will still learn an approximation, but error is guaranteed.

I am speculating now, but I seriously suspect the size of the space of not only one or more human language but also every fact that we would want to encode into one of these models is far too big a space for correctness to ever be possible without RAG. At least without some massive pooling of compute, which long term may not be out of the question but likely never intended for individual use.

If you're interested, I highly recommend checking out some of the recent work around monosemanticity for what fleshing out the relationship between model-size and complexity looks like in the near term.
I do. And I don't even have to explain why an adapter is unpractical foe my applications.
The model specifically said that the material is less dense than water. If you said that the material of a balloon is less dense than air, very few people would interpret that as a correct statement, and it could be misleading to people who don't know better.

Also, lighter-than-air balloons are intentionally filled with helium and sealed; rubber ducks are not sealed and contain air only incidentally. A balloon in a vacuum would still contain helium (if strong enough) but would not rise, while a rubber duck in a vacuum would not contain air but would still easily float on a liquid of similar density to water.

The reason why it seems like a nitpick is that this is such an inconsequential thing. Yeah, it's a false statement but it doesn't really matter in this case, nobody is relying on this answer for anything important. But the point is, in cases where it does matter these models cannot be trusted. A human would realize when the context is serious and requires accuracy; these models don't.
The argument seems like a cheat, because it rules out people who don't participate, but doesn't limit itself to people who practice regularly.

For video games, an analogy could be limiting to people who bought the game on steam, but not limiting to people who ever installed and played it.

Or maybe a better analogy is website users, limiting to people who visited, but still including all the people who immediately bounced/closed the tab.

Like, if you take basketball, I'd bet a lot of people here have shot a basketball, but don't practice regularly. The last time I held a basketball was probably 20 years ago, so should I still count?

The point is that participation itself is too much of a spectrum, so the 95%ile statement is just 'most participants basically don't really participate, and there's a long tail of participation.' Which isn't super worthwhile. If you limit to people who "regularly practice" a thing, this would be an interesting argument, but it also wouldn't be true then.
> It's definitely a violation if

That is certainly not clear, unless its only purpose was to do that.
Vehicle weight also affects how much wear the roadways experience. I'm not sure "A Corolla weighs less than a truck" is relevant here, especially considering that the F-150 is the most popular vehicle in the US by sales number. Comparing things to the market leader is generally a useful metric.

The voice interaction part didn't look a far cry from what we are doing with Dynamic Interaction at SoundHound. Because of this I assumed (like many it seems) that they had caught up.

> but I recently completed a site-to-site network between two farms in rural America, no other ISP can serve these farms, and they needed to communicate cow data between the different farms.

This may be verging on off-topic, but it's too good an opportunity to not deliver this very fitting reminder: in 2018 Anja Karliczek, then-Minister of Science of Germany, made headlines for the quote "5G nicht an jeder Milchkanne notwendig" [1] ("you don't need 5G on every milk jug") aka the rural areas (that had been left behind even with prior mobile phone/data and even landline DSL deployments) didn't have enough need for fast Internet access.

So, to answer her question, what exactly are these farms doing that they need to exchange cow metrics? Tracking of milk production per cow?

A picoplastic is also known as a carbohydrate, ketone, or whatever basic organic molecular building block. "the typical length of a carbon–carbon single bond is 154 pm" according to wikipedia, so typical plastics are necessarily at the nano-scale or larger, as a plastic is defined as a polymer of organic molecules, I believe.
Your cryptosystem is not responsible for the stability of your storage medium, and your storage medium is not responsible for the security of your cryptosystem. They are black boxes to each other; to confound their responsibilities is to ensure doom in your designs.

Put another way: your cryptosystem isn't responsible for saving your ass from not making backups. If your data is valuable, treat it that way.

It doesn’t matter how high the skill ceiling is, just how much effort the average player puts into the game. In Starcraft 2 to be top 4% player essentially means to be the worst player in masters league. But the gap in skill between a bad masters player and a grandmaster player (or even larger, a pro player) is enormous. I know that when I played I was able to climb to near the top of diamond without even using map hot keys, and still being (compared to high masters players) really quite mediocre at macro. It doesn’t really matter how high the skill ceiling is when you can approach the 95th percentile while not even utilizing all the functionality the game gives you.
Hard disagree. Not having some kind of device (be that a smart phone, tablet or laptop) is going to make life very difficult, particularly if you have to access any kind of government service in the developed world. Might be different in the US but in the UK almost everything is digital or moving to digital. For example if you're claiming benefits because you're unemployed in the UK then you would be expected to both apply online and log in to an online portal and register all your jobseeking activities which your job advisor will then review to determine if you're putting in enough effort. Failure to do this would result in your unemployment benefits being withdrawn. If you don't own your own device, the only other option would be to go down to the local library where you normally have to pay fees if you're using the computer over 30/60 mins depending on the local authority. If you're having to do this on a regular basis then it's far more economical to own your own device. This is just one example of many.
I wish it was easier to parse/compare the supported cell frequencies list from phone/gsm arena. Especially for devices more targeted at non US markets you can end up missing a lot of useful frequencies. I guess part of the issue is how non standard the US cell networks tend to be (iirc our 5g is also a little weird compared to the rest of the world)

It's one of the things I feel like iPhone does right supporting most frequencies even for US models. The new mandatory eSIM on it makes it a no-go for me though when I travel to Europe and want to buy a SIM card at the airport/corner store.
>1. Always sad for me to know how much popular are wireless chargers, wasting 47% more energy aprox for charging the same as a wired charger. https://debugger.medium.com/wireless-charging-is-a-disaster-... (too much catastrophic conclusions in this article but that percentage is real, you could check it in another tests, articles, whatever ..)

The percentage value looks bad but how much is that in absolute terms? Using the figures from the article, wireless charging uses 6.75 Wh more per full charge. Assuming you charge that much every day, that's 2.46 kWh per year, or 42 cents at average US electricity prices[1]. I think that's a price worth paying for the convenience.

Create a wireguard interface on each end, add the keys to them, open up the allow list for each subnet, assign a IP from a /30 (or /31) subnet on each end, set static routes to point to other end or use a dynamic routing protocol.

Nintendo did not save American gaming from itself. US game makers created games for a lot of successful platforms including the PC/MSDOS, C64, the Mac, the Atari home computers, and the Amiga.

What Nintendo did do was create the first good home console which had good games. Note that it was not until the Xbox/PS2/GC generation that PC and console gaming merged (i.e. there were relative few titles which were not multiplatform).

It's important to remember that in the early '80s, it was unknown whether home video games were just a fad or a new long-lasting market. With the 1983 crash caused by the glut of low quality products, it was very easy for retailers and investors to decide it must have been the former and stop taking video games seriously.

Much more likely they had a strict time limit (internally or externally imposed) on what they considered biodegradable. If you make it stronger but thinner, bacteria can break it up much faster which leads to faster breakdown. By comparison the bag being loud seems pretty irrelevant if it's just not possible to make a thicker bag degrade faster.

Also, many biodegradable plastics are more brittle than more common plastics. They only way to keep the bag flexible in that case is to make it thinner.
Why not use 48v? I have been designing my farming robot's electrical system and it all runs on nominally 45 volts. The switching power supply you need to downregulate that to 12, 5, or 3.3v (I have all three on one PCB) is tiny and cheap. [1]

No matter what voltage or power level you need, higher voltage will allow for smaller/cheaper wires and connectors that are easier to route and assemble.

I really don’t recommend using ChatGPT (even GPT-4) for legal research or analysis. It’s simply terrible at it if you’re examining anything remotely novel.

Google has the problem that it's typically the first to encounter a problem, and it has the resources to approach it (from search), but the incentive to monetize it (to get away from depending entirely on search revenue). And, management.
You're right, the models do think non-verbally. However, crucially, they can only do so for a fixed amount of time for each output token. What's needed is a way for them to think non-verbally continuously, and decide for themselves when they've done enough thinking to output the next token.
When you do the math it's really the vestigial remnants shared with inhuman primates, which have not been completely overcome by the process of civilization so far, that underlie the need for so many laws that would be completely un-necessary if everyone was fully steeped in extreme true humanity and behaved that way all the time.

Too bad we are not evolved enough to have left all of this inhumanity behind along with the extinct hominids, but you have to play the hand you are dealt.

When you think about it though, what most people usually call "human nature" is actually really inhuman nature which has not been fully surpassed.

They wouldn't say it if it wasn't false ;)

Also widely regarded as an excuse to begin with even if not fully recognized as such.

It's always been plain to see the world would be a better place the more inhumanity has been eradicated, but there have always been those who favor more inhumanity not less anyway.

Maybe some people have always been concentrating on their limitations rather than their possibilities, and that's been the limit of their horizon historically since the dawn of man. Others, not so much.

Full "human nature" would be the complete absence of inhumanity in thought & deed.

Because we shouldn't be striving to make mediocrity. We should be striving to build better. Unless the devs of the bots are wanting to have a bot built on trying to deceive people, I just don't see the purpose of this. If we can "train" a bot and fine tune it, we should be fine tuning truth and telling it what absolutely is bullshit.

To avoid the darker topics to keep the conversation on the rails, if there were a misinformation campaign that was trying to state that the Earth's sky is red, then the fine tuning should be able to inform that this is clearly fake so when quoting this it should be stated as incorrect information that is out there. This kind of development should be how we can clean up the fake, but nope, we're seemingly quite happy at accepting it. At least that's how your question comes off to me.

Awesome! I agree that your intended experience is likely to be more curated, but supporting other languages might really help. This is really cool to hear.

Also, I realize I might have phrased it poorly, but I meant exactly that about the language server. Language server once, but each editor needs its own extension. Even the extension wrappers around the language server could quickly eat up a lot of maintenance time because there is no true standard. Open VSX is pretty nice for cross editor extensions, but not too many editors use it, yet.
