Thank you for the paper, this seems awesome, I'll have a look later. Deepmind pretty consistently comes up with interesting ai research results, so this should be pretty neat at the very least. Regarding what would convince me that AGI is around the corner, I guess I should start by defining what I'm thinking of when I say AGI, because to be fair AGI is pretty vague.

I expect it to be an agent capable of independent action(even if limited by whatever restraints we put on it) it should be able to want to do things rather then just waiting around idling waiting for human input. It should be always learning, rather than only learning in batches when we tell it to. It should be able to encounter completely new forms of input/problems/scenarios and start learning on its from that and actually use concepts learned from other forms of input to learn faster in new inputs. Like for instance, if I grab an LLM and train it on an image set that doesn't contain any cars, but contains other vehicles, when I show it a car will it know that it's a car on the first shown image because it already knows what a wheel is from the other images and know that a car has 4 wheels from its language model even though it's never seen a car? It should be able to connect previously learned concepts like that. For that matter it shouldn't need absurd amounts of data to learn a new example after it has gained some basics on that specific form of input, like if it knows what cats and dogs are it shouldn't need thousands of examples of rats to know what a rat is(I'm assuming it was trained in a generalist dataset so it starts learning about the real world, it just never saw a rat specifically). It should be able to do this stuff for arbitrary stuff consistently. It should be able to explain its reasoning when asked why it did thing X. It should be able to ask questions when in doubt and learn from singular answers. Assuming it has already learned fundamentals of the real world like language and video It should be able to make predictions of the real world from learning from raw real world data with no human processing.

My impression is that a lot of these requirements are still very much unachievable and more importantly they probably won't be fixed by just making a single more powerfull ANN, they require whole new ideas to figure out, which we might figure out tomorrow or we might figure out 50 years from now or 100, we don't know, it will happen when it happens, in which case I'm defaulting to longer timeframes because I'm a pessimist I guess :). I realize that you can reduce the bar for AGI a lot to make it easier to achieve but that just makes the jump from AGI to ASI even larger. And my complaint was ultimately not specifically about AGIs I just used them as indicator of how unattainable ASI still is. If we are having problems with AGI what hope do we have of figuring out ASI on a short timeframe? And I mean ASIs are the real threat that the doomers complain about so much. You can't "just turn off" an ASI but you should definitely be able to "just turn off" an AGI.

Sorry for the long post hope this helped explain my point of view on the issue.
By this definition, people who embrace high levels of alcohol consumption despite their obvious effects don't have a drinking problem, which seems a bit tentative to me. I would say someone like George Best very much had a drinking problem.
Why do you think that highways, roads, etc. aren't riddled with the same corruption, greater environmental destruction, landscape changes, etc. ?

Admittedly we can build highways quicker, but I wonder why? Certainly it has nothing to do with corrupt state transportation agencies whose jobs depend on big highway construction jobs, auto lobbies, or highway and road construction companies that rely on big government contracts for their livelihoods... right?
These ads really are deeply cynical. "The whole system is fucked, but if you're lucky, you can win enough of other people's money on the crypto lottery that you'll be able to escape it"
Kustomize also supports helm charts as a "resource" which makes it handy to do last mile modifications of values and 'non value exposed" items without touching or forking the upstream chart.
I agree, I would love to see something modern that works for devs today and isn’t just a port of something that was put together in the past.

Helix feels like a cli VSCode to me, in the sense it has TreeSitter and LSP built-in and support for most languages out the box. It’s doesn’t require loads of plugins to be useful.
De4py v1.0.4 update has been released and includes an advanced feature that can be used for analysis of python files by monitoring it's behavior.

in this update a major feature have taken place, memory analyzing (WinAPI hooking).
Monitoring Files:

Monitoring File Handles Creation

Monitoring Processes:

Monitoring Process handle

Monitoring if the process tried to write/read to a process

Monitoring Termination of other processes

Monitoring Connections:

Monitoring Socket creation

Monitoring sending/receiving of data with the size of data sent/recieved.

more to come soon.
I hope this means Wayland is getting to the point where a multiple monitor, variable refresh rate HDR setup is well supported.

I like the X11 protocol for things like forwarding over ssh but xorg itself has given me so many problems throughout my entire history of using Linux.
IMO this is really what Dieselgate was about. Not specifically fudging the emissions, but hiding secret code to do so during specific test profiles, then lying about it afterwards. Analogously, these trains hid secret code to disable them after being taken to certain locations.
No, but it makes you feel warm and has a ton of Calories, both of which jive with your fellow's observations.
I think people are saying they wouldn't pay for this labor, and because of that, it's riddled with ads.
this answers a different question - what is the simplest possible solution to the problem at hand.

answering that requires a good understanding of the problem at hand as well as knowledge to be able to propose a simple solution that could be the starting point, and then searching for improvements over the same - assuming the improvement they bring is useful to the solution at hand.

i guess what I am trying to say is, the question asked by op and your suggestion are orthogonal imo :)

I'm also familiar with one of the locations that closed. While I was shopping, it was raided by 80 people who also acted violently towards the patrons. It was such a poor experience I never went back there, despite it being the Target nearest to me. I was zero percent surprised when I heard it closed for good.
Twitch Now Allows Artistic Depictions of Nudity
Likely a cognitive bias there, we pay selective attention to the topics we've been discussing previously, and likely remember when an ad comes up that's related. So yes, they're not listening to our microphones. It's just our selective attention and memory, instead.
Because that's what Musk has promised many years going. It's snake oil sold to the gullible because it's highly unlikely that the processors and sensor array in the production cars sold (with this feature) will ever be able to actually do FSD - no matter how advanced the software becomes.

I am building an AI content generator and my edge that makes it better is sourcing data from not easily accessible data sources (think research papers) through SEO. I cannot imagine that these companies are not using every bit of confidential data for their advantage. Proprietary data access is the only thing that matters in the future of AI wars
How does this pertain to if a male only drinks alcohol a few times a year, but consumed alcohol once within a month of conceiving?

Reading the article and looking at some of the linked papers, it seems that the research more looked at males who drank regularly. I am sure zero alcohol is best, but interested to know if there is any info or research on the effect of sperm with rare alcohol consumption, but close to conception.
To be fair, things do seem to quickly be moving in this direction. With the rise of language model driven speech to text, and visual to text, this is probably a few years out at most.
If you're using any Chromium based browser it's on your machine right now.
It's really hard for me to imagine a world being _less_ useful where a program like ls not only specifies the structure of its output in a way I can automatically read fields of without hand-parsing it, but also can be used by linking instead of having to run it in a subprocess whose input and output I have to manage, buffer, and so on and so forth.

It's projection and displacement. The people most active in worrying about AI threats can easily see what industrial capitalism is doing to the biosphere: stripping everything that makes it a viable support system for life in order to build something that's only a viable support system for markets. But they are also ideologically committed to industrial capitalism, so they can't bring themselves to admit it. Instead, they externalize those criticisms and fears onto an abstract future threat, so they don't have to deal with the current one. That's why you'll see AI bros saying that AGI is an existential threat, while global warming doesn't matter in the long run.
The need to use something like Helm to distribute a complex application is a good indication you've built something which is a mess, and probably should be rethought from first principles.

Most of the problems associated with Helm go away if you stop using Kubernetes.
Or rather the absence or decision to not conceive.

Shouldn't there be reading avatars that do this? Do those not exist? Seems like there's a huge market being missed - in both designing avatars with accents, inflections, and personalities, and the writers being able to make money by providing those avatars - which they themselves may have created - content to read.

EDIT: has anyone looked into doing something like this?
Yes. In general, it would be great if companies threw away the outdated PR-communication playbook, and instead took a leaf from some indie devs and had the builders directly communicate with users as people. Products are built by people, companies are made up of people, but most communication is instead corporate.

In practice, I think the PR playbook is too entrenched, but we can dream.
This is a red-herring. In the end, everything is run in machine language which is intrinsically unsafe. But that doesn't matter. High level languages can enforce constraints that eliminate or mitigate common programmer errors for memory access.

For example, it is a simple matter for a language to provide a list or array API that will perform bounds checking for indexed access. This simple measure would have prevented something like the HeartBleed security bug.
If a screenshot isn't up to date, chances are the UI it depicts has changed as well, and the description of how to use the application is also out of date. I think it's an argument for not throwing documentation over a wall and never looking at it again, but rather including documentation updates as part of the requirements for a feature change.

The accessibility objection seems very weak. Yes, if you don't make an image accessible, it's not going to be accessible, that's tautologically true. So, don't do that!
> I got a masters degree in ML at a good school. I will say there’s pretty much nothing they taught me that I couldn’t have learned myself.

They spared no expense at Jurassic Park, you know.
Yes, but that’s the beauty of industrialization. As scales grow, manual skilled processes become automated. I’m not asserting todays mRNA based on a sequence of a single virus genome is comparable - but that the process of industrializing as a skill is in fact a skill in an enterprise that once perfected can be applied to more complex domains.

The profit motive is reflected more in terms of keeping high revenue producing processes inefficient to justify higher profits with the same margin. Medicine is replete with examples of processes that can be dramatically more efficient and widely available, but are not optimized because it reduces profits by reducing gross revenues. High margins invite scrutiny, high revenues invite investment.
Sure and that forgives its use in maybe, like, Salt and Ansible. Not in Kubernetes where everything is structured in the same way, even with API-available schemas, to begin with.
> they still haven’t clocked a single driverless mile.

This seems maybe technically true but extremely misleading. There is of course always a driver in the car, but they have absolutely clocked many miles with a driver in the car not needing to intervene.
all these posts about how it's so obvious that search doesn't work, but no examples that demonstrate it from anyone.
I think it's less about scalability and more about identifying specific choices that are promising. A lot of Schmidthuber's work paints out broad ideas in grand strokes and suggests hundreds of potential neural networks without evaluating what choices in that massive space are good. He then claims credit when other people identify the specific one or two of those hundred models (often with minor variations that make it not immediately obvious whether it perfectly fits the broad definition or not) that are actually promising.
How long is the footage kept, and who can get access to it?
There are extremely many books and articles about the subject.its like me asking " wtf gravity bends time? That's ridiculous lol". But science doesn't work that way. If you want you can read the bibliography. If not, you can argue like this.
If you run a multi-tenant Kubernetes cluster at scale, operators with poor discipline spamming the API servers and taking etcd down is a leading cause of sadness.

I mean, I use NPM, but I'm making a small traffic news site with no APT enemies. If you're making a wallet and think "Yes, auto-updating dependencies sounds like a good idea," maybe you're not very good at security?
How does it work in the US? Here it's a mandatory insurance you pay on your salary, but then if you're laid off without cause, you get 80% of your salary for X amount of time (sometime the company give the missing 20% for like 2 months, but i'm not sure if it's standard).
Tell you what though, I drank more than I should have most of my adult life and now have a kid with a single point mutation that'll affect her in all sorts of ways and I will never stop thinking about whether or not this could have been avoided by not drinking.
I wonder if there was a similar phenomena in Australian to North America, where basically all observations were of cultures radically altered and depopulated by disease.

This is just plain wrong. No working version without the idea.
The combination treatment has won U.S. breakthrough therapy and European Medicines Agency PRIME scheme designations, regulatory programs that aim to speed development of innovative treatments.

> A single shot of vodka can have 100 calories.

Using the standard 7 calories per gram of alcohol, the alcohol content of a 12 oz 5% beer (equivalent of a 1.5 oz 40% shot) is 117 calories (12oz x 28g/oz x 5% x 7 Kc/g).

That’s just the alcohol and an average beer would have been more from the additional carbs.

If your vodka shot has only 100 calories, that’s either a weak pour or some weak vodka!
> chat with somebody about a topic and a day later I suddenly received ads Youtube recommendations about this topic

What's funny about it is that counterclaims will often be that this information doesn't necessarily need to be coming from reading your chat messages. It could be that they just know you happened to be chatting to that person -- despite "metadata" supposedly not being personally identifiable information -- and then one or more parties started to look up on google the topic they were discussing. As if that's supposed to be less invasive.
I created PyLaunch, a web UI for running scheduled Python scripts. For my personal use, it has usually been to send daily/weekly notifications about things: weather, metrics about my projects, news about TV shows and video games, shopping/prices, etc. I am basically sending stuff to push notification services like Pushover or Ntfy.sh. It has been working really well. I was surprised to see a few sign-ups already in less than a month.

On top of what the OP mentions, Helm still doesn't have a way to forward logs from its pre/post-install hooks to the system calling helm upgrade (such as a Github Action) - a feature first requested in 2017 and still stuck in RFC stage.

https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/2298

https://github.com/helm/helm/pull/10309

https://github.com/helm/community/pull/301

I can understand moving cautiously, but it's at a point where it almost feels like allowing users to understand what Helm is doing seems not to be a priority for Helm's developers.
Good to know. Thanks for the info.
The compensation for coders is high because there are few of those and the high compensation attracts job applications. I don't see any discrepancy here. If you could actually close any vacancy with one of the applications you got in a few hours then why anybody would have paid huge money to recruiters, had vacancies open for years, paid FTE rates well above any other profession that does not require formal credentials (actors, models, athletes, rock stars, writers etc are either contractors or self-employed) and kept raising the compensation?
In GDPR there is. But the companies don't care and neither do the regulators. Big business just has too much power and influence.
Just use kustomize. It’s baked into kubectl. No need for a separate tool.
> tool to use Jinja

It's not really that. Jinja is python, Helm is written in Go and uses one of the Go template languages, which has a passing similarity to Jinja.

The rest of your comment is spot on, of course.
Why all labor needs to be paid through currency? Whenever I express my opinion to my friends, I'm in theory "doing labor" but with no expectation of getting cash out of it; instead, I'm getting paid by the satisfaction of hearing my friends' opinions on my opinions, and getting new information. Or perhaps simply changing the world a little for the better if my opinion can influence others to do good things.

The old Internet was about that, the new Internet is about associating a microtransaction with every single piece of content.
>>How are you ever going to know what happened there?

if only there was a recording device to record what actually happened....

>>You can assume the cop was corrupt and the citizen innocent in all those cases,

yes that is exactly how it should work, that is how the system is setup to work. We have some how flipped that in recent years. At all times you should assume the government is abusing you, unless they can prove they are not.

No video, I side with the people not the government

>>There has to be a fraction of cases where their rights were not being violated as claimed and footage is still unavailable. Whether that is 1/10 or 9/10

It would be an error rate far far far far far less than that, and when you factor in most calls have more than one officers, plus patrol cars that have their own recording devices, plus citizen witnesses, plus business surveillance I think we get to such an unlikely circumstance to be statically impossible
And a native binary from a memory safe language is probably executed in an OS written in an unsafe language. That hardly means writing the whole software stack in an unsafe language is just as safe.
There is a crypto coin that I like and I wanted to buy some on an exchange.

All these exchanges are

2. From the layout obviously targeted at very young people

3. The appearance, interactions and handling resembles more an online casino.
>it's in the eye of the beer holder.
Tokens are fully programmable, so you can encode whatever logic you want in them, including freezing if you want that functionality. This is mainly done in dollar-backed stable coins.

The base level assets, like ETH and BTC, cannot be frozen like this, although centralized exchanges will often blacklist addresses (and the chain of custody) involved in major exploits.
Which book would you recommend then? Suggest only one.
One Black employee, cited in the report, said that “her manager suggested in front of colleagues that she was dealing drugs and carrying a gun.” Another Black employee said that a co-worker “broadly described Black employees as less capable” during a recruiting meeting. The company told employees that the story painted "an inaccurate picture.”

Is it really a concern troll political hit-piece, though? These seem like pretty concretely bad and racist things. Also, way to pick a single line you don't like out of an article that enumerates a whole bunch of issues with what Coinbase is doing.
