Because living in a world where every bad behavior is prevented through enforcement mechanisms and bureaucratic procedure sucks ass, compared to a world where people generally speaking follow a social contract. If you can't understand why then you might not be thinking about it hard enough. It introduces friction, especially on those who would already have behaved well.
the conversation in this thread makes me wonder about whether the right incentives for OpenAI should be to make tons of money.

Personally, I prefer to make tons of money, but as someone who will not have a say in whether to participate in an AI-driven world, I would prefer if there were non-profit counterweights. Perhaps governments will have the wherewithal to steer things but I am somewhat concerned.

Surely you mean 353lb dead lift.
It has a very accurate rating system, but "accuracy" does not mean "matches FIDE". Ratings can only be compared within the same pool of players, and Lichess is quite good at matching you with people of comparable skill, which is the only purpose of a rating system.
I think this is a good rebuttal.

Yeah the feedback loop with consumers has a higher likelihood of being detrimental, so even if the iteration rate is high, it’s potentially high cost at each step.

I think the current trend is to nerf the models or otherwise put bumpers on them so people can’t hurt themselves. That’s one approach that is brittle at best and someone with more risk tolerance (OpenAI) will exploit that risk gap.

It’s a contradiction then at best and depending on the level of unearned trust from the misleading marketing, will certainly lead to some really odd externalities

Think “man follows google maps directions into pond” but for vastly more things.

I really hated marketing before but yeah this really proves the warning I make in the AI addendum to my scarcity theory (in my bio).

> Do you think that they will converge on how they interpret SVG?

Not any time soon. The unfortunate truth is that nobody implements the entirety of the SVG spec. It's not even close when it comes to SVG 2. This is a good read on that topic:

https://razrfalcon.github.io/notes-on-svg-parsing/

> Whenever I receive bug reports for my SVG library, people often use the phrase "my SVG isn't rendering correctly". Which cracks me up every time. There is no such thing as a correctly rendered SVG. As soon as you start using "advanced" features such as text, filters, or, God forbid, animations - it would simply not work. Never. And even if you will manage to make it work, as soon as you try a different render - it will fall apart again.

> The idea behind this "book" is to answer the popular question of "how hard can it be?". A reader expected to have some prior knowledge about SVG, but it should be a fun read either way.
How is that any different from what these AI chatbots are doing? They make stuff up that they predict will be rewarded highly by humans who look at it. This is exactly what leads to truisms like "rubber duckies are made of a material that floats over water" - which looks like it should be correct, even though it's wrong. It really is no different from Facebook memes that are devised to get a rise out of people and be widely shared.

Using an insecticide as an insecticide does not make us the baddies. The insecticide was also used with a very distinct odorant additive, as is added into (normally odorless) natural gas, so that when people smell it, they can avoid it. When the Nazis ordered Zyklon B for use in teh camps, they ordered it WITHOUT the odorant; this should have tipped off the company that it was being used for murder instead of insecticide, but they either didn't know or care. That part had nothing to do with original development as an insecticide.

Also, the US has fully destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical weapons and makes no new ones.

Souplantation was like this.

You could go through the salad bar, the soup, and bread line as much as you want.

But on the salad bar, most of the actual proteins (I should say non-vegetable proteins -- all the garbanzos you can eat!) were an extra unit charge.

The "secret" was that they always had Chicken Noodle Soup, so folks would go there and simply pick out all the chicken, leaving the broth and noodles. Which was, honestly, pretty annoying.

Souplantation gave up with COVID. They literally threw in the towel, and shut the entire chain down.

What you may have saved on wiring is going to be offset by the increased cost of the battery (I'm seeing 2x-3x cost) and the fact you now need a much beefier alternator which is going to have its own cost.

Is Flame actually ready for production use yet? I just saw it the first time a couple days ago but no idea how long it's been simmering.

Flame seems very different to me than Jets though. Flame just plugs into a Phoenix app and lets you trivially async some application code on a different node through the existing erlang functionality without having to manually sync memory/state/etc. Definitely cool, but seems fundamentally different than Jets which uses traditional "serverless"

Yea, of all the edits in the video, the editing for timing is the least of concern. My gripe is that the prompting was different and in order to get that information you have to watch the video only on YouTube, expand the description and click on a link to a different blog article. Linking a "making of" video where they show this and interview some of the minds behind Gemini would have been better PR.
I don't eat rice; I've been strictly keto for over a decade. My health choices make me a jerk?

Some people are allergic to rice. Some people are on medically prescribed diets. Maybe there's an obscure religion that forbids eating rice. Some people just don't like rice. Are they all jerks too?

That restaurant wouldn't be my preference, but if I did have to be there for an important reason, I certainly wouldn't be bullied into eating something I didn't want to eat. I'm generally strict about wasting food, but in that situation I wouldn't feel even slightly guilty about it.

To be fair, one could describe the duck as being made of air and vinyl polymer, which in combination are less dense than water. That's not how humans would normally describe it, but that's kind of arbitrary; consider how aerogel is often described as being mostly made of air.
> "Chain of thought" or other approaches where the model does all its thinking using a literal internal monologue in text seem like a dead end. Humans do most of their thinking non-verbally and we need to figure out how to get these models to think non-verbally too.

Insofar as we can say that models think at all between the input and the stream of tokens output, they do it nonverbally. Forcing the structure of reduce some of it to verbal form short of the actual response-of-concern does not change that, just as the fact that humans reduce some of their thought to verbal form to work through problems doesn't change that human thought is mostly nonverbal.

(And if you don't consider what goes on between input and output thought, than chain of thought doesn't force all LLM thought to be verbal, because only the part that comes out in words is "thought" to start with in that case -- you are then saying that the basic architecture, not chain of thought prompting, forces all thought to be verbal.)

They dramatically increased demand lately for solar production, so they were probably the cause of and epicenter of the global shortage - paying the premium as a cost of doing business while lithium production caught up.
I've gotten to the point where I want "advertisment" stamped on anything that is, and I'm getting to the point I want "fiction" stamped on anything that is. I have no problem with fiction existing. It can be quite fun. People trying to pass fiction as fact is a problem though. Trying to force a "fact" stamp would be problematic though, so I'd rather label everything else.

How to enforce it is the real sticky wicket though, so it's only something best discussed at places like this or while sitting around chatting while consuming

I think the marketing around chatgpt is more powerful than the tool. It looks impressive to junior devs or people without expertise in a domain, but that’s about it. What bothers me is the amount of spam around this tool - they need to work on improving it and then restart promoting as thus far it’s just annoying noise.
Australia is a large supplier of lithium, the world's largest actually. Due to trade restrictions and irregularities arising from disputes, trade between China and Australia wasn't operating normally in 2022. Trade has now mostly resumed and the first bulkers left Australian ports for Chinese ports early this year carrying lithium ore. I suspect the absence of the Australian market meant that Chile could set their prices, and it looks like they set their prices pretty high. Plus, Chile is a longer and thus more expensive trip for any ship, including a bulker.

The high lithium prices in China were the Chinese side of the trade restrictions causing economic pain.
Where did you get the 100% number from? It's not in the original comment, it's not in a lot of similar criticisms of the models.

time is asymmetric BY definition. if time weren't asymmetric I would have to call it space instead.
(seems like I'm using asymmetry and monotonicity as synonyms)

in my definition, passing is all time can ever do, and it must do it only in the 'same direction'.

finally, in my view it is space which enables backwards and forwards motion.
Honesty is great, in moderation, but it's not the be-all and end-all of leadership.

Leadership is fundamentally about manipulating people. If the people already agreed, they wouldn't need leadership. Your job as leader is to get them all working in more or less the same direction, even though they don't really want to.

Honesty is a great way to do that, when it works. Honesty has the virtue of not having to keep track of your lies, and you don't get caught in an inconsistency.

But it doesn't always work, and then you have to consider alternatives. Sometimes people are dumb. Sometimes people are wrong. Sometimes people are hostile. Sometimes people are right, but in a way that can't actually be implemented, and you need to go with a sub-optimal path despite that.

At core, you can't lead if you don't believe that you've listened to all of the concerns and reached the solution that is best for the group as a whole, according to whatever definition of "best" and "whole" you were hired for. Sometimes that's going to force you to use other means that just telling people the truth and hoping they reach the same conclusion.

Leadership is fundamentally a people problem, not a technical one. And sometimes that's going to mean being dishonest. A good leader does it as little as possible, but simply dismissing it as a tactic is a recipe for failure because it hides a fundamental truth about why and how people behave in groups.
I used Xperia phones for years. However I gave up as if it doesn't come from t-mobile it didn't support all the towers (tmobile uses some weird frequencies in the US) and I'd end up in dead zones all over. Great phones, but too much friction to keep using them.

Lack of Wireguard docs/tutorials is unfortunate, because I'm in the same boat. I'm using Tailscale now because I just don't know enough about linux networking to figure out why my packets aren't going where they should. I suspect it's a very simple config error, but I don't know how to debug or where to look. I like Tailscale, but I'd much rather use real wireguard and eliminate a dependency on tailscale, but I can't find guides/tutorials/etc.

If anyone knows of a Wireguard walk-through to bridge two separate LANs together, I'd love to see it
Skimming the article, it does seem like they've built a model (there has been much work over the years on opensource emulators,etc so the basic operation is fairly well researched) and then sampled a bunch of real chips to find variances and behaviours to get profiles that comes close to the real ones.

As for being scientifically correct, Commodore was infamous for cutting corners so resistances (and prob other parts of fabrication) varied wildly so at best you can probably compare to specific chips (even if families of fabrication are closer,esp w.r.t to 8580 vs 6581 behaviours).

Read the article again in that light (as those details are alluded to) or look at the analysis of the C-64 graphics chip colors (There is a nugget in the response from the Sid-chip designer at the bottom of this other article about Commodore inner workings).

Well this seems like a huge nitpick. If a person said that, you would afford them some leeway, maybe they meant the whole duck, which includes the hollow part in the middle.

It's just the difference between opt-in and opt-out and you can simply opt-out and anybody that is subject to these arrangements is aware of them. But then you also don't benefit from the union in times of strikes and such. With the very high fraction of employers that sign up for these programs it's pretty common to automatically enroll them in the union for that segment and usually - but probably not always - the HR department will ask you when they onboard you if you want to join the union or not.

> The video has a disclaimer that it was edited for latency.

There was no disclaimer that the prompts were different from what's shown.

Look at how many people thought it can react to voice in real-time - the net result is that a lot of people (maybe most?) were deceived. And the text prompts were actually longer and more specific than what was said in the video!

It's fine. If you care, pay attention to how things like this go in the future, and I think it'll rapidly become clear to you what the norms are.

If you hold a rubber duck under water and squeeze out the air, it will fill with water and still be a rubber duck. If you send a rubber duck into space, it will become almost completely empty but still be a rubber duck. Therefore, the liquid used to fill the empty space inside it is not part of the duck.

I mean apply this logic to a boat, right? Is the entire atmosphere part of the boat? Are we all on this boat as well? Is it a cruise boat? If so, where is my drink?
A rubber duck in a vacuum is still a rubber duck and it still floats (though water would evaporate too quickly in a vacuum, it could float on something else of the same density).

What frustrates me is that people keep building solutions like this that heavily rely on IPv4, even when forward-compatible options exist. With clever use of IPv6 transition technologies, you could have retained support for legacy devices while generally using IPv6 everywhere else.

Chinese-American cuisine is it's own thing with dishes that reflect the ingredients available to Chinese immigrants in the 19th and 20th century and the demands of American consumers. It's typically a sweeter version of Guangdong food, with one or two Hunan or Sichuan dishes thrown in, and maybe some Japanese food as well. Then you've got uniquely Chinese-American food, like Egg Foo Young.
