I'm not an expert, but an analogy here could perhaps be if you drop a cup of water on the floor (assuming it doesn't break) some of that water is going to rebound on itself/the cup, and will splash upwards. That would be gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy, causing material to be ejected.

With stars, there is a TON of gravitational potential energy, and so when it's converted to kinetic energy during a collapse, you "explode" the lighter weight outer layers of the star away from the more dense core. Some of the stars core remains, and can become either a neutron star or a black hole.
> It's not really fair that Apple gets to build snares around owning the most successful and important platform in modern civilization.

On the flip side, Apple spent a lot of effort into developing their ecosystem. It doesn't seem fair to Apple that other companies get to piggyback on Apple's investments without Apple's permission. I'm not an Apple fan, but, that kind of sounds illegal. Imagine if you were to develop something useful and then someone comes around telling you that they deserve access to your awesome thing just because, even to your own detriment - even when they haven't spent the time and effort building it or contributing to the development process.

I don't think that AI companies are less trustworthy than our industry in general, but I absolutely think that our industry is far less trustworthy than the general population.

AI companies engaging in the wholesale harvesting of web data to train their models, though, was a particularly egregious violation of trust.

Couldn't this just be statistical noise? 2% isn't a huge difference, and if you partition stock funds into two arbitrary groups it's almost certain that one will on average perform better than the other, but not by a lot. The next question to ask should be how much better are stock managers who have an odd number of hairs on their head, compared to those who have an even number.

Yes, I can repeat comments verbatim too:

“Missing the step where “critical thinking” is formalized, which your argument depends on. Yes, it seems intuitively plausible that your reasoning holds, but that's not a proof, and therefore its negation is not a logical contradiction.”
This is almost a meaningless, the MSE depends on the model structure and can't be compared arbitrarily.

If you had a single perceptron/single layer model, its a fantastic MSE.

For sure, VLAN config is one of the most extremely "How and why did anyone end up designing it this way?" thought-inducing areas of Mikrotik config.

But I will say that the boxes of theirs that I bought about ten years ago are still going strong, never had a device fail on me, still receiving OS updates, still able to export and re-import my config to any of a wide variety of newer devices when the time comes.

Clearly they're not the right choice for everybody, but there are certainly up sides, if you're willing to grapple with the config.
That's how I view it as well, this is a security issue. Beeper is gaining unauthorized access to a service and Apple doesn't like it. The fact that they are not technically breaking anything is kind of like going into a business after hours because the door wasn't locked. You still aren't authorized to be there.
The point about spell check is a very good one. I think one big differentiator is that the attack/risk surface for something as complex as a LLM is much higher and that much, much more information is encoded in an LLM than a spell checking dictionary.

For example, it's possible to extract training data from an LLM—which could include PII/medical data/etc. Those risks don't exist with spellcheck as far as I'm aware.

To your point about what is "AI", I'd state that AI is a misnomer. What we're really talking about are generative large language models (LLMs). What an _can_ be considered an LLM is definitely up for debate, but if you were to describe one in general terms I think we could reasonably say that most (or all) things we consider LLMs are:

1. A probabilistic model of a natural language
2. Have the ability to interpret and generate natural language text
3. Typically encode a large volume of training data

I'd love to hear other thoughts on how one would define an LLM in practical, simple language. I imagine doing so would be a pre-requisite to any effective legislation.
I'm surprised you'd base a doctor's capacity to do medicine off their MCAT score. It'd be like judging a staff software engineer by their highschool GPA. If a doctor survived the rigors of medical school and the years of near-poverty (if not actual poverty) wages of residency, why would you care at all about what their initial score on a test was over 5 years ago?
MVC in the small, MVC in the large is 80% of what you should learn.

A good point, a very good point. Too many procedures or guides are ruined by being vague on some minor yet critical point. Probably obvious the the writer but not to the reader.

I'm still so bullish on Deno. They iterate quickly, but they also have a clear vision and direction. I've almost completely stopped using Node on personal projects; Deno is the new world I want for non-browser JavaScript.

Recent example: I've got a Deno server running a production service. I needed to make some bulk changes in the DB, and I was able to import DB types and utils directly from the main server project and quickly write a TypeScript script that used them to make the changes I needed, with the new script being the entrypoint, no config changes made, and the rest of the project being ignored. This would be practically impossible in a Node.js project that used any TypeScript, ES modules, etc.
The bottleneck is probably the availability of lithography machines that can make ubiquitous chips for processing that much data quickly enough without heating or drawing electricity too much.

Not too far in the future every device will have some 5nm or better tech LLM chip inside and devices understanding natural language will be the norm.

By dumb machines, people will mean machines that have to be programmed by people using ancient techniques where everything the machine is supposed to do is written step by step in a low level computer language like JavaScript.

Nerds will be making demos of doing something incredibly fast by directly writing the algorithms by hand, and will be annoyed by the fact that something that can be done in 20 lines of code on few hundred MB of RAM in NodeJS now requires a terabyte of RAM.

Dumb phone will be something like iPhone 15 pro or Pixel 8 Pro where you have separate apps for each thing you do and you can't simply ask the device to do it for you.

I see.

I thought the product was actual tabletops and the like. But this is terminology.

What I did not quite get was that what I'd call "production", i.e. making the actual tabletops, happens not at a central facility but at customer homes. This is much harder to monitor and control.

In this light the ban makes more sense.
Probably not even that - 25mil is nothing really. A normalised schema in an RDBMS would handle that without sweating.
Actually, I would choose the female because she punched her way through a mess of obstacles to get where she is.

In addition, she is likely to pay fucking attention. It's well documented that female doctors tend to do things like follow checklists and prodcedure instead of just half-assing it.

Every single specialist female surgeon I have dealt with has been way above average. The male surgeons have been a mixed bag. Some good--some not so much.

The grant legislation: https://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2021-2022/billanaly...

It certainly sounds like the grant portion was state tax money paid to GM. I wonder under what requirements.

The tax abatement is essentially shifting some of the tax base from corporations to individuals. Some of whom can pay those rates when they next find work.

Ah, I see. The key part above is "to third parties". If you're using ubicloud to provide a managed/hosted service for yourself, or your company, that's wonderful. You could even be a massive organization and do that. It's just that you are not providing the managed service to other parties such as your customers - essentially, that you're not a hosting provider re-selling the software.

> In order to have age verification, you need identity verification, i.e. tying your identity to your activity

I don't see any reason age verification has to tie your identity to your activity. It should be possible with modern cryptographic techniques to make a system whereby the service that checks your age doesn't find out what site the check is for, and that site doesn't find out who you are.
without more details, this sounds like overfitting or training data leakage
It depends. Usually there’s other things like thorough documentation, bug fixes, and comprehensive libraries that accompany popular languages. And LLM support is basically only as good as the documentation and online resources.

For me, GPT4 means Rust is approachable, something I would never have considered a couple years ago. There’s tons of documentation online, but it’s great to be able to get the “vocabulary” of my question from GPT4 before looking it up online. Rust compiler errors are pretty good, but a LLM really smooths over the rough spots.
The idea that Google has some secret underhanded deal with Mozilla to sabotage Firefox comes up here repeatedly and makes no sense. If Google wanted to prevent ad blocking on Android it would be much simpler to just ban ad blockers from the Play Store outright.

There is a much simpler potential explanation for such a product management decision. Suppose Mozilla determines that 90% (made-up number) of users want addons because they want uBlock Origin. It then seems sensible to prioritize that addon and not others when determining how to spend limited engineering resources. Reasonable people can of course disagree with that decision, but there's no need to bring conspiracies into it.

(NB: Even though I worked at Mozilla I have zero insight into this particular issue; it's entirely speculation.)
Maybe not being designed for anything is better than being designed for a specific audience.

Yes, my argument is that producing at industrial scales even chunky nodes requires enormous capital expenditures and may be impossible without rebuilding large chunks of an antiquated and abandoned supply chain.

Even if it is 10% the cost of making the each of the individual components involved in making a relatively simple 90nm chip, you're still looking at vast costs.

If you're talking about making 30 chips in a university fab, sure, I'll concede that it is "possible" but if you're talking about propping up an industry built on products that require a herd of standardized "$0.30" parts made on legacy 90nm fabs, that ship has sailed.

Update your BOM and recertify or raise your costs by an order of magnitude.
So for me, the QA team is the best source of product information in the entire engineering team. If they also do customer triage, then probably in the entire company.

They should know the product inside out, moreover, they know all the annoying bits that are unsexy and not actively developed.

yes, they find bugs and junk, but, they know how your product should be used, and the quickest/easiest way to use it. Which are often two different paths.

Bring your QA in the product cycle, ask them what the stuff that pisses them off the most.

They also should be the masters of writing clear and precise instructions, something devs and product owners could learn from.
Just hypothetically speaking could AGI evolve out of a system where several different models trained with highly and intentionally biased data recursively "argue" against each other then use RLHF as a seed to guide the models to find a consensus where the objective is to mimic the Socratic Method? Then synthetically add the consensus to the model retrain and repeat. To me, this dialectal type of strutured language seems to be the basis of how language is the conduit of intelligence. I understand that it really is impossible to know the totality of the inputs for I cannot understand what it is like to understand the math as Terrence Tao does but I could foresee using a system like this which eventually would produce an analogue so close that it would be a building block towards it because to me at least ASI is predicated upon arriving at that one way or another...or would it just arrive at some digital first order logic version of the incompleteness theorm and determine that it's turtles all the way down?

If machines can be sentient, then fire could be justifiably called sentient as well. Considering that our metabolic processes largely amount to exothermic energy transfer through oxidization and distribution via what amounts to liquid rust, I suppose the circle from man to machine to simpler machine to thermodynamics, and back to man, could be completed through this pathway.

We need some sort of definitions in order to moderate at all. I wouldn't call them personal, and since the definitions are principled, I wouldn't call them whims either.

Obviously there's some interpretation involved, so different people would apply the same definition differently, but I don't think "not sure if you're being honest or poisoning the well" is such a borderline call.
Yeah, and there’s at least anecdotal evidence here:

> The admission to medical school of Patrick Chavis, one of the black doctors admitted under the medical school's affirmative action program instead of Bakke, was widely praised by many notable parties, including Ted Kennedy, the New York Times, and the Nation. As an actual medical doctor, Chavis's many actions of incompetence and negligence were broad and widespread. The large number of patients that he harmed, the amount of pain and suffering that he caused, the video recordings of his many major mistakes, the huge number of malpractice lawsuits against him, and the eventual loss of his medical license, were all reported by the media.

I've actually been building toy languages for fun (nothing I'm ready to share) with GitHub Copilot as an aid, and it's able to pick up on my homegrown language just fine. It helps that I opted for C-style syntax, but it's able to pick up on semantic concepts like effects that don't exist in the mainstream, as well as specific syntactic choices like `:` vs `=` for record constructors.

Where a new language will be severely disadvantaged is in the blank page problem. With a well-known language you can start a new project with just a comment and let Copilot get you over the initial barrier of just having something down on the page. A new language won't work because it needs a fair amount of context before it's able to produce correct code.
This is also missing the glaring fact that dedicated porn distributors are not the only sources of pornographic material. There are plenty of users on social media who post nsfw content or borderline nsfw content.
