It's not obvious that such a system would be useful for that at all. The effects on the trajectory would be hard to predict. It would be useful at all because any meaningful change in trajectory hundreds of millions of miles away from impact results in a miss.

Also such systems and missions are the results of thousands of people working together not the pres pulling up a web interface and clippy asking "So it looks like you'd like to deflect an asteroid today!" Much like jump starting the apocalypse with global nuclear war can't be effected by pressing a red button somewhere.

The probability of GPT-3, GPT-4, Grok, and Gemini also containing such links is approximately 1, so this just feels like a hit job.

Anything that ingests a huge amount of data is going to have some undesired content slip through the cracks. The issue with CSAM is that not all of it has been identified. You can query against databases like NCMEC's but that's not going to catch everything. The database also grows all the time -- how do you remove training data from a model you've already built?

The only way this is going to work is on a best effort basis. If the model author does everything reasonably in their power to prevent contamination of their model, there should be amnesty for them in the event something has slipped through.

If I may be a bit of a curmudgeon for a moment: I've read some number of posts like this recently that had AI-generated art embedded to "break it up", and I've found that the effect is skim skim squint at AI image skim squint at AI image scroll to end

Partly this is because a fun game with AI images is to identify the weird things they do. They have an interesting effect where they look sooooort of okay if you don't actually look at them. In your post for instance, the first image has a wild not-actually-a-pteranodon at left, second image has twins at bottom-right but also is that a caveman partying with antlers on his head in the background?, third image -- what contraption is that wooly mammoth pulling, actually?

And, once the novelty of playing "Find Ten Things Wrong With This Picture" wears off, then the images are exactly equivalent to embedded stock photography from Shutterstock or whatever. Oh look, it's shiny happy people at computers in the middle of an otherwise interesting essay on the transformer architectures of large language models.

(I enjoyed the rest of the content of your post. Amazing how effectively these tools are becoming productivity multipliers for the people experimenting with them.)
Absolutely monumental waste of talent. Reminds me of how I got expelled from high school for "hacking" into their terrible infrastructure (without causing any damage whatsoever, other than to their pride). They threw the book at me. Threatened felonies. Were going on and on about how I will never vote, never be able to work as a postal worker etc.

Get this kid into the right environment and he would probably be able to do great things.
Maybe I'm not reading the article in the same tone as you? I am not reading "outrage" in it, more a sort of casual "did you know" - "look how smart I am" ish tone. Cool thing about writing, one can read it in any tone they want, I suppose :)

That is simultaneously (a) so freaking cool and (b) the most nonobvious, undiscoverable UI/UX I've ever heard of.

"How do you do this sort-of complex business process to a new apple device?"

"Oh just install this app on your phone, then hold the phone next to the computer when you turn it on. No, don't open the app. No, don't lock the phone. No, don't click anything on the computer, lest you go too far."
It checks again unless the user cripples the service (which requires access to disable System Integrity Protection), and even if they do it will be undone after am update. But it requires the user to accept the enrollment (just a couple clicks on a pop up). I don't know that that can be changed.

During OS install the enrollment will just happen; the user's acceptance is not required.
When a human driver must emergency break for a downed branch, it'd ok. When an AI does it, it's unexpected and needs to be hyperanalyzed. I swear, the trolley-car problem is absurd, it's poisoned all debate. 99% of crashes is people not being able to stop in time because people don't drive defensively and can't stop in time when they are called to do so.
Yeah, it's interesting to compare Nvidia's strategy to Intel's. I'm sure there are quite a few Nvidia projects that have been cancelled or even acquisitions liquidated, but they all seem to be small. Every significant part of Nvidia that I can remember is something they are committed to, sometimes over multiple decades, even when the market is not there and sales are near zero. This seems to come from actually having a consistent, stable long-term vision and buy-in all the way up to Jensen Huang serving as a driving force behind acquisitions and projects, unlike Intel where the driving force seems to be bean counting and market domination related.

To give credit to Pat Gelsinger, his stated goal is to shed non-essential units and refocus on the fundamentals. But I'm not sure how well that's going.
But it would be nice to standardize the IO / time interfaces so that swapping out runtimes doesn't require writing a custom adapter layer :). I know you know, just saying that's really probably what OP meant.

Not sure that’s actually true.

Japan’s has one of the most effective models and contrary to what most people believe is privately owned and operated. About 70 percent of Japan's railway network is operated by the Japan Railways (JR), while the rest is served by dozens of other private railway companies, especially in and around metropolitan areas.

There is a lot more going on here with self-driving cars being pushed as the only answer that is deeply worthy of examination and discussion, but private companies have been extremely successful in the past before the oil and car companies started acting like cartels and systematically dismantled and destroyed public transportation across the western world.

Keeping “public transit” as a government only activity while convincing the public that government is impotent at its implementation was the core strategy.

> My bet is you'll be amazed by how little changes. Sure you won't spend any time at gas stations/car dealerships and you'll be able to watch YouTube on your commute, but that's how millions of New Yorkers live and, well, it's fine. That is to say, we could have just built subways/mass transit and gotten all of the benefits.

I'm a big fan of public transportation, and I think it's sad that so many cities have underinvested. But it doesn't help your point to pretend that commuting on a bus or subway is the same thing as commuting in an autonomous personal vehicle, and these kinds of false equivalencies only serve to discredit mass transit advocates.

Is the game self explanatory or are more instructions needed?
+1 for that documentation.

I was recently working on a system that split data across multiple database instances (unnecessarily) and that means referential integrity is lacking and sometimes a huge problem.

To expound, I was tracking down something call a "slotid" and the absence of foreign keys does not mean anything. That data could very well live in some other table on the other DB instance. It turned out though that "slot-id" instead referred to a start time of day as counted by 'minutes-from-midnight'. Thus "slot-id=375" was just "6:15am"... Yup.. 3 hours of my life I will not get back to realize that data did not refer to anything at all. If everything that could have had foreign keys did, then it would have been a super quick investigation to realize the data was not a reference to anything at all.
What does tosser app mean in this context?
Oh, I have no idea. I assume that they must have some features, but I really only use vim and vscode with vim bindings turned on.
This attitude is baffling to me. Android is clearly open source. Go build it yourself, it isn't terribly difficult.
Those negative prices are cause by the existence of gas, coal, and nuclear since they do not wish to curtail their production due to ramp-up/ramp-down costs.

Add storage and/or get rid of the inflexibility and the negative prices disappear.
I feel like this does not line up with the earnings statements. I assumed the article would link ad revenue to android somehow but I don’t see it in there. How are they getting $92B?
You do understand that producing zillions of square km of semiconductor and zillions of metric tons of batteries isn't going to exactly be environmentally benign, right?
I assume you mean "performance overhead"? For insert-heavy workloads the difference very much is not "very minimal". In a quick test it's ~100ms vs. ~20ms with two foreign keys which check against a "countries" table (250 rows) – one column for nationality and one for residence.

±a lot because this is a very quick test I ran just twice, but it fits what I measured before when I very much ran in to this performance penalty a few years back.

And look, 20ms vs. 100ms is very much fine for a lot of use cases. But it's also not for a lot of others. And it's certainly not very minimal, and with many inserts it does amplify a lot.
Android™ is not Open Source, it is based on AOSP which is.

I share your optimism in most parts but don't agree that fossil fuels will be stranded. Reduced demand will push down prices which will increase demand until a new equilibrium is found that satisfies cost of production. As long as the Saudis can produce oil at 6 USD per barrel and sell for more (80 USD atm), they will sell their oil.

That will always be a possibility when systems fail, like it did during Texas winter storm.

Scroll down to page 17. This is for solar + 4 hours of storage. Not the 12 required to satisfy diurnal storage, let alone the days to weeks required to offset the seasonal fluctuations. This is a common way to make storage look cheaper than it really is: create an ambiguous term like "solar + storage", then bury the actual storage duration (often 2 or 4 hours) much deeper in the document.

It's also unclear how they're calculating storage costs. Page 41 lists $178 per MWh. The US is currently building out storage at a cost of ~$500 per KWh so this is an insane cost. Are they projecting this as total cost for storage and retrieval over the life of the system? If so, how many discharge cycles are they assuming? What is the actual construction cost that this report is assuming? That figure seems to be absent from this report.
I don’t see why. Connection-wise, the node event would loop make I/o blocking from the http request / response side a non issue. I doubt the backend is doing physics heavy stuff for the front end.

that's how it's meant to be ... other companies that want to use android on their bespoke hardware need to write their own drivers/software/talk to their on servers anyways.

If I put AOSP on my own device and it's talking to Google folks will start complaining the other way ... "why is this in AOSP?"
I wasn’t exactly rude about it, but they were acting as a representative of the company - probably the only one I could ever actually talk to - so I didn’t see any reason to sugar coat it either. I am often direct with sales people that I am not interested in their product, and I have been yelled at and harassed by them before. This is all late stage capitalism at its finest.
Maybe -- I don't watch that show, too close to real life.

Yep. I just find it funny- it's an operating system for a phone yet provides no way to use it as a phone without downloading a 3rd party app or writing your own.

This effectively means you are building an embedded database in your application and using the networked database for storage. There are a few reasons to do this and a million reasons not to.
Note that almost all Japanese railways started out as public sector projects, and were handed off to private sector to operate. Urban rail operations are within the wheelhouse of private organizations - but I don't think actually building them out is. At very best it could only be done with an extremely tight partnership between public and private sectors. With self driving cars, the private sector is taking more or less a unilateral decision to invest in them, something which cannot be done with pretty much any mass transit project.

I disagree, nvidia didn’t build ai.

Gpgpu dates back to the early 2000s, and it happens that deep learning as a computational problem is very well suited to GPUs.People figured this out around 2012-2013, and just like with cuda a few years before, nvidia figured out there was a huge market for them, because the underlying compute problem was well suited to their hardware.

Ai could have used different models which are not computationally friendly to gpus ( or may not even require a lot of computational power ) and nvidia wouldn’t have been so successful at ai, much like intel’s cpus are not well suited to current deep learning models.

I remember discussing with friends in the hpc community what was going to happen to nvidia - we were wondering how they could grow their compute business. And bam, massive compute needs for ai, problem solved.

> The landscape of what "digital privacy" means is rapidly changing

How could congress even begin to keep pace with that rate of change?

They certainly have not been keeping pace, and arguably going backwards in a number of areas (see FISA).

The courts could take every issue, one-by-one, and clarify the reasons for any decisions. These decisions would happen in the light of day with an appeals process ready to handle disagreements about the letter and intent of the laws in question.

> should be addressed by the national legislature in specific and clear text

Congress has not shown an interest in keeping pace with technology, and would therefore be hard-pressed to write such "specific and clear" legislation.

It would, therefore, fall to the lobbyists who have draft legislation ready to go with carve-outs custom made for the companies that sponsor them and which are not in the best interest of the average US citizen.
