Wasn't your original argument that they could easily get your genetic material (to figure out the genome from) anyway?

Would a bunch of your cells be sufficient at some point in the near future? (I know progress is being made to turn any cell into a reproductive cell, but that's still not exactly the same thing, but it's on that exact path)

You still might not mind a bunch of your clones though, so I don't think that's much of an argument.

You carry a "get out of jail free card" (basic example below) which needs to be signed by someone high enough up to be able to authorize the work you are doing. I also request that it include contact info for at least 4 people who are aware of the testing and will answer their phone. Depending on the type of engagement and location I will sometimes notify friends in law enforcement ahead of time.

Of course, you are totally correct about the baby not being limited to text input. It would be interesting to see in the future whether building "world models" through multimodal input would help scaffolding language ability with less data.
If earth becomes unlivable, then by definition it can no longer support colonies.

The path to making colonies on Mars or the moon self sustaining is not even clear at this point. Starting with the simplest of fundamentals - air, water, food and protection from cosmic radiation. The prospect of growing a technical civilisation on either body, that can develop further without support from Earth is remote.

By contrast, to make earth unlivable basically means nuclear war. Climate change won't do it, biological pandemics won't do it, nor will fossil fuel exhaustion or any other localised event.

On the worst day possible on earth (global radiation aside) its still a million times better to live on than anywhere else.

In terms of global radiation making the world uninhabitable even then tiny, non-sustaining pockets of humanity would survive. At least until their life-support systems failed.

Lastly, I wonder at the need for "the future of mankind" as a goal at all.

Standard Ebooks is a fantastic project. I have been supporting them for years. I love their attention to detail of typography and their approach to building the books in the open, from source code, with open source tools. I wish their project existed in many other languages! The only caveat is that they have to wait for books that are in the public domain.
In this case they think you are okay with 135/month.

Conservatives don't "secretly run" anything and to insinuate that that's what I'm saying is to misinterpret my comments. So the premise of the question is false from the outset.

Conservatives (and the threat of conservative backlash) can nonetheless meaningfully influence the shape of institutional policies that hinder the stated goals of the organization, municipal government or otherwise. It's not at "tyranny of the minority" levels in many cases but that doesn't mean they're completely shut out.

Intention matters little when it comes to outcomes -- this is the credo of the consequentialist. It's about the material facts as regards what specific elements of specific policies promote or discourage this or that outcome. Deft policymakers can find sneaky leverage points that are only obvious in retrospect as having been a significant influence on the outcome vis a vis the stated goals of the policy in the first place, and it would be naive to assume that large political organizations (parties, PACs, etc.) on both sides don't develop and hire talent to provide exactly this kind of service. It's a battle of shadow consultancies just as much as it is a battle between ideologically-motivated parties, even though you are only exposed to the dramas of the latter in news media.
I use this trick too.

It's conceptually similar to Python's pass keyword or leaving a TODO comment about some feature that you'll eventually need to implement but don't need to bother with at this very moment.

So your assumption is everyone going to Moon or Mars is a saint. And if so - who set the standard? Pope? President? And then what do we do if they become not-so-saint? Drag them back to Earth?

The whole idea that some sort of better type humans will travel to another planet is frankly ridiculous. We don't learn from our own mistakes - see WW1, WW2, current state of affairs. If anything, we would most likely destroy Mars and Moon much faster than how we wronged Planet Earth.
Is the type returned guaranteed to be correct, or are you relying on non-hallucinations?

To be specific - to guarantee correctness you can reject logits for tokens that when used would produce an invalid JSON value returned from the LLM. For example if the string so far is

{ rating:

If the suggested token is something like "3

Then you can reject, because the next character needs to be 0-9, and re-sample from the distribution.

> E.g. buy just this Economist article for $0.25 rather than subscribing for the whole month?

Because the real economic cost of an article is likely a lot higher than $0.25. The newsstand price of a magazine is always more expensive than what you can get it for in a subscriptio. Companies prefer recurring revenue over one-timers and their pricing reflects that.

Apple claims to offer tons of publications in Apple News +, but they don't tell you that a) Apple News shows ads and b) the titles they carry still block off some articles and content as premium-member only.

Anytime somebody offers a flat rate for something, you have to remember that the flat cost is simply what they offer to the customer, it's not reflective of what it costs them to supply. iTunes sold songs for $1 20 years ago, but for Apple the real game was using iTunes to get customers to stick around and make it easier to sell them their next iPod.

right now, the IDF only perpetuates injustice against palestinians. So the only alternative for them is Hamas. for all the deserved hate Hamas gets, what alternative do palestinian have? the IDF being impartial and enacting justice equally instead of allowing settlers to attack palestinians with impunity would go a long way towards pulling the teerh out of hamas.
Well, it has been almost 7 years since Pocket, which appears at the bottom of this post, was bought for ~25–30 million USD and it was reported that it would be open sourced, and it's exactly as open source today as it was then. (I.e. not.)

It’s not an argument, it’s a discussion. All forms of popular and mass-market medicine are shit. See: Sturgeon’s law. Allopathic, “modern medicine,” and homeopathic.

Allopathic medicine, I would argue, is pseudoscientific because research where placebo does better or negative results are achieved are thrown out and never published. Instead, it’s p-hacked and methodologically-massaged (knowingly and unknowingly) to achieve the results the grants paid for. And even when published, practice does not keep up with the research.

Double blind studies on spinal surgeries are a great example where placebo, stemming from the belief of the patient that he received treatment, is just as effective in alleviating subjective pain. In the placebo case, simply putting the patient under anaesthesia and having him believe he had surgery is enough to resolve spinal pain. Or how about where common spinal surgeries stem from?: surgical experimentation with only flimsy research integrity. The first spinal fusions were essentially no different than lobotomies with how reckless and unethical the practice of experimenting based on loose evidence is. Not even in a research context, but a surgical, and informal one.

And yet, the same results can be found with less drastic and life-changing means. Instead of fusing your spine with titanium screws, you could go to a chiropractor for unexplained back pain. Or better yet, figure out the psychosomatic and physical causes (stress, poor muscle tone, etc.), instead of band-aiding the problem. What a thought!

Homeopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, “holistic medicine,” etc. are better when they achieve the same results, for less cost (monetary, physical, what have you), when they work, and do not do further harm to the patient.

That doesn’t mean they’re both not scams. But one scam is less harmful en masse than the other. Both use “woo” to achieve the same ends, but neither are honest about it.

Like with many things, the issue is the aggregation of data on many individuals (a database), and easy accessibility of your individual data on request (discoverability and processing).

Me shouting my sensitive private details in a crowded bar is entirely different from putting them on my webpage. There's even a difference between writing them down on a napkin or shouting them out.

Amazing how much data Netflix would have, but sharing it externally would hinder negotiations.

Speaking as a long-time FF user, Mozilla Foundation lacks vision and jumps on any new shiny tech that can get it a few headlines. Just in the last couple of years they invested into a Web3/metaverse effort, launched a Mastodon server, now offer gen AI features. None of these projects are ambitious, none are focused on developing complex fundamentals. Just basic products with a completely sub-par feature-set and no future.
still the Nazi party was part of the political process in the Weimar Republic, prior to taking power. Back then there was no objection to their genocidal ideology, as it was regarded as 'free speech'.

Actually this historical precedent is the reason for the stricter rules on expression in the Germany of the present.
I'd recommend Typora. No frills markdown editor with WYSIWIG support. It has a nice feature where if you copy paste media such as images into the document it can optionally create a subfolder at the same level as the markdown file to organize the doc's associated media.
Maybe you missed them, but there are actually physical buttons in a Tesla, I use the tactile physical buttons constantly, the scroll wheels to control volume / audio and cruise.

The people who need to be smarter don't trust either the government or experts to do it as they have oppositional defiance, or think it's population control or nanomachines. The people who are already quite smart are suffering from a variety of smartness related conditions which often results in depression. Tough sell.
And they wonder why we download books from Z-library with a VPN instead of the, "legitimate" option. It is very similar to using ad blockers. If "legitimate" businesses refuse to let me view and pay for their products without being tracked, loaded with malware and/or having my data sold to third parties, then as far as I'm concerned they have no grounds to complain when I go another route.
Would seem to me that scammy adds negatively impact the reputation of your product. Makes it easier for a competitor to gain traction "I rather use Y, much safer and more reliable than YouTube".

I dunno, I got my first car with Car Play a year ago. I'm not super impressed. It's buggy and slow and the interface is clunky. It's better than using my phone directly, barely, but I still would have bought the car if it didn't have it. All I really want is music and maps anyway, and I can just get a cheap phone mount for my dashboard like I did with my old car so I don't have to look down at it.

Here's a purely academic question about AI / Language Models:

What is the smallest, tiniest amount of parameters that will result in a language model which understands how to add, multiply, subtract, divide, handle "if..then" type constructs, and perform loops?

In other words, what is the smallest amount of parameters for a language model that will result in a Turing-complete (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness) AI LM -- regardless of how few words it would recognize?

?

I submit that one to all of the (L)LM AI researchers in the world.

I don’t like hooking my car up to my phone. And I generally like in-car nav. Google Maps has ads, bugs me to report accidents, routes through neighborhoods to save 30 seconds, and won’t show up in a HUD or binnacle. All I want is a good way to enter a destination, Bluetooth support, and I’m happy. I remember hearing that Audi can use What Three Words, or some similar scheme? That’s my ideal. My Volvo has a phone app that can send an address to the car. It’s a bit slow sometimes, but it works great and gets me where I need to be every time. If GM has something similar, I’m down with dropping the complicated phone support.

My GM-made car does indeed have connectivity issues with CarPlay at least a few times a month. Turning my phone's Bluetooth off and on again fixes it, which makes me wonder if the problem really is on the phone side.

On the other hand, it happens more often when switching between a built-in car app (like the 360 cameras app) and the Carplay app, which probably implicates the car's software more?

In any case, it is pretty annoying. It sometimes happens at really inopportune times, which can be a distracting safety hazard just from the loss of connectivity/functionality alone (i.e. not even considering needing to touch the phone, which is illegal while driving in many US states.)
Before the introduction of generics quite a few projects used source code generation in Go projects, to make them manageable.

And then there is AK Dewdney's Planiverse.

This is exactly the problem that the Internet Archive created their Scholar project to mitigate (https://scholar.archive.org/about). The https://fatcat.wiki component acts as a dashboard to track preservation of scholarly publications across multiple efforts. There are a bunch of projects in this area, including LOCKSS ("lots of copies keep stuff safe", including some fun/novel uses of cryptography), Scielo and similar regional platforms and archives (primarily outside the US/EU), Pubmed Central, etc. Zenodo (CERN) and figshare end up being an accessible option for some small journals. There are definitely gaps that content falls through and gets lost.

A few folks have mentioned shadow libraries like Sci-Hub. These efforts can play an archival role, but tend to focus on access, which means there is not as much attention on content which is freely available today, but could disappear in the future.

A common dynamic here is that clout and funding flows to globally prestigious publications, and there is a bias against marginal publications. For sure there are many content-farms and scammy publications, but a lot of gems and valuable small publications get bundled in and dismissed.

Some more references and reading for folks interested in this subject: https://guide.fatcat.wiki/bibliography.html
