My mouse doesn't need a bespoke driver let alone one that phones home or have administrative privileges to install software. My OS shuts up and doest force updates at random times to force me to beta test them for their enterprise clients, or shove ads in my menus and searches or upload my files and file histry to their cloud.

After the unfortunate incident in Japan this week, the Boeing 787, a plane designed in the 2000s and flying since 2013, is now the only passenger airliner without a hull loss. So they are clearly capable of producing modern safe airliners post merger.
I distrust assigning "right" and "left" before other evidence is presented.
What makes it the best? I've flown on it, and it seems nice enough, though it isn't the most comfortable airliner I've flown on. It's certainly the biggest! But there are only what, 250 or so that were put into service? It's hard to have a strong opinion about a plane in such a small niche.
3km / hr does not get you very far if you’re paddling against a current. I hope that no one abuses the feature or use it to do the dumb things people often do when they see a flooded road.

We don't know that yet. The NTSB report will tell.
This is so intuitive. Huge props for coming up with the first ui for time zone comparison that has actually made sense to me immediately. Clicking a zone to make it the base, which all others get compared to, was a great choice. Bookmarking this for sure.

The case for manned exploration is hard enough to sell. Mankind will learn a lot about space travel and space habitats, and pay a lot for that knowledge.

This is pretty much how I see it too. I agree that he's an opportunist, but there's still tremendous political value in sticking to the Republican party line on this issue, even if he personally does not benefit from lobbying.

However I do believe that he would flip sides if it seemed like popular sentiment was flipping, and he would claim that he's been in favor of it all along. If this program is successful, that might actually happen, and of course he'll be sworn in by the time the broader program is rolled out, and he'll take credit for it while finding some way to blame Biden for not having it sooner (even though he had 4 years of his own to do it and took no action).

IMO the connection was that universities are hesitant to pursue claims of replication problems, plagiarism, etc. when the accused academic is from a preferred groups, or has preferred ideologies. This is why the cries of academic freedom and freedom of speech (made by the presidents in front of congress) rang hollow — it was obvious that if the free speech was made by other people, and targeted different groups, it would not have been countenanced.

An LLM is an interface/veneer over crowdsourced knowledge found on the web and whatever human labor is used for "RLHF". As such, LLMs do not change any of the economic dynamics inherent in capitalism and its markets. The goal is to generate profit by exploiting the masses and their labor with the help of computers. Sam Altman and friends have developed new techniques for more optimally exploiting human labor and knowledge but it is still well within the capitalist paradigm.

Feed that into an LLM, see what happens.

In a broad sense high level management tends to take care of it's own in a bit of self interest so when they screw up and run a company into the ground chasing short term quarterly profits they'll also get taken care of.

The seat is still there, firmly attached to the plane. In all likelihood a passenger in that seat, if they were wearing their seat belt (as they should have, it wasn't at cruising altitude, and you should wear your seat belt anyway when seated), would have been severely frightened and annoyed, but probably uninjured. Maybe some hearing loss.

Oh I'm specifically not saying a central authority should dictate what we can and can't have, I'd be very against that.

Indeed. It's tradeoffs, but they've been sufficient for much of the codebase for a very long time. Taking no major action (Oilpan or memory safe language) for nearly a decade was also a tradeoff. I don't think the long list of security issues there was worth it.

Because they are constantly under resourced so rich people can use the 'IRS sucks' line to get everyone else on board with their ability to do tax evasion.
Let's also remember the context of this project. It's not just an overly-cautious MVP rollout. This project is something that has tremendous resistance against it, for stupid reasons, but the resistance exists nonetheless. Much like ACA benefits, people will only realize it's actually a good idea after they've gotten used to it. Starting small, with a minimal project that is most likely to succeed, is the best way to ensure that the project can continue at larger scale in the future.

You call up your local nuclear reactor spare parts vendor and place an order. Then they figure out how to either source the part or manufacture it or substitute it.

No, really. Most places that sell nuclear fuel have a spare parts business too.

Sibling comment:

> This is a valid need that any project maintainer should aspire to address.

I think either of these things can be true, depending on the goals and intended audience of the project. It's totally valid for someone to make software like this primarily for themselves, and leave it up to others to tailor it to their own needs or contribute to make it more accessible.

I get the impression this project was made for the author's particular use case and isn't (yet) seeking a broad audience. The readme for this project doesn't really explain this, though, which makes me realize several of my own projects don't clearly set these expectations either.
It is important to have popular and powerful tools that can reduce amount of code for things like caching and building.

For example, Snakemake (os-independent make) with data version control based off of torrent (removing complication of having to pay for AWS, etc) for the caching of build steps, etc would be a HUGE win in the field. *No one has done it yet* (some have danced around the idea), but if done well and correctly, it could reduce the amount of code and pain in reproducing work by thousands of lines of code in some projects.

It's important for the default of a data version control to be either ipfs or torrent, because it's prohibitive to make everyone set up all these accounts and pay these storage companies to run some package. Ipfs, torrent, or some other centralized solution is the only real solution.
I'm not taking about zoning, though that's certainly an issue too. I'm talking about requirements for windows and egress and such for residences that make it difficult to convert large buildings constructed for other purposes into multi-tenant residential complexes.

That's an interesting perspective. What's the hope that AI will ensure human symbiosis when traditional software models (arguably) fail to do so?

The best analog that comes to mind for me is Open Source software, and viral licenses that encourage a literal obligation to "give back" to the community. As helpful as that is, Open Source software still consumes power and can't ensure ecological symbiosis with it's users (even if it's ethically superior to proprietary alternatives). With that in mind, I'm curious how AI licensing differs, and how it's increased cost of training/execution will be subsidized by the value of the gross output.

The other more common question that comes to mind is enforcement. In your "agenda" as it were, would AI governance be obligatory or optional? Should we draw the line differently for research/nonprofit/commercial entities? In a traditional economy, the existence of Open Source software has enabled better value extraction for businesses which ultimately do not prioritize environmental concerns. Along the same line of thought as the first question, I'd be interested to hear how AI governance can avoid overreach while still addressing the same issue we had with traditional software creating excess value that mostly does not benefit the ecology or greater good.

This is something I'm very interested in generally, but I question if we have the framework to actually achieve meaningful human-AI symbiosis. Open Source succeeded in it's goal to subvert copyright and capitalism by carefully following the rules and managing it's expectations from the start. I worry that you're biting off more than you can chew asking for human-computer, human-AI or even AI-ecology symbiosis. I'd be glad to summon another boffin who can prove me wrong though :P

I¹ get it. The STEM educated people are better at technical stuff like math and logic, thus they must be a lot more enlightened than these non-STEM journalists that walk around in the darkness of the intellectual void. We smart, They stupid. /s

You should ask yourself where this arrogance stems (so punny) from. Although you could argue that the liberal arts/humanities are stifled by leftist worldviews, which is true, I also believe that the study of the humanities is the one thing that created the societal structures -like democracy and education- that we cherish today and I believe they will be crucial for a nice non-authoritarian future. And the ideological pressure to discredit the humanities is something that I believe comes from a pro-authoritarian, conservative side of the political field.

I think you're missing the point. You could flood the market with AI generated movies and art and music and books but a lot of it will be devoid of any real meaning.

You can't sell dangerous $10,000 EVs in affluent markets in Europe, North America, Japan, etc. Fairly strict build & safety regulations prevent that.
One troubling aspect of this is that it appears Alaska had reason to believe something was wrong with this plane but basically ignored it. They were getting pressurization warnings on prior flights, but the only action they took was restricting the plane from flying ETOPS routes.

They're the dominant carrier in my area, so these sorts of screwups make me nervous. I can't easily avoid using them without a fair amount of inconvenience.
That’s right, I didn’t mean to imply theft of any kind. I’m mostly pointing out that both companies sort of outsourced the body design (BYD in a more questionable way) as they figured out how to grow. Both companies were quite small production-wise in 2009 and are very different today.
That just goes to show how useless the rankings are in general. If you actually use it, you'll quickly notice that older GPT-4 models are noticeably better at tasks that require reasoning.

gpt-4-turbo also has an extremely annoying quirk where instead of producing a complete response, it tends to respond with "you can do it like this: blah blah ...; fill in the blanks as needed", where the blank is literally the most important part of the response. It can sometimes take 3-4 rounds to get it to actually do what it's supposed to do.

But it does produce useless output much faster indeed.
