Reading these wikis makes me feel we need to invent some visual convention to indicate AI-generated text. Like a particular color or font. This would make it so people don't feel cheated after they realize they just spent several minutes trying to make sense of something churned out by an LLM. (I mean this as a voluntary design enhancement for sites that want to be nice, of course people can always cheat.)
As a tool for thought, APL is wonderful. I mean that in a true and non-snarky way. Wish I'd invested in the details. Snippet:

> the German teachers varied from some very archaic grammar-translation stuff ("durchfürgegenohneum", "ausbeimitnachseitvonzu" etc.) to the ones who seemed to have no plan at all.

Native German speaker here: such grammatical structures are really how I think about my mother tongue, thus I do believe these are good exercises: always have the grammar tree in the back of your mind when you speak German "and then speak this grammar tree". :-)

In opposite to English, in German grammar is quite important.

If the regulators don't require the extra exit door, then the airlines would rather put in an extra row for more profits. The extra safety door is only needed depending on seating configuration.
I actually think it is a bit more subtle than that. I am here really focusing on consciousness as a subjective experience, which seems to be of an entirely different nature than physical processes. We have a lot of examples of emergent properties of complex systems, but as far as I can tell all of them stay in the same "realm": the emergent properties of an ant colony, for instance, are physical, resulting from physical interactions.

With the subjective experience as an emergent property, things such as a society, a country, an economy could become conscious, in the sense of having a _subjective_ experience of their own existence as entities separate from the rest of the world. If we accept the "consciousness as an emergent property", we _have_ to accept that possibility. Which, to me, is not less wild or unlikely than, say, the "theory" of a field of consciousness "received" or "captured" by physical systems with certain properties, the same way a radio can receive radio programs. There are additional reasons to want to consider alternative explanations, but going into them would rrquire much more space - if interested, I would point to the report of the Galileo Commission.

So it does not change anything to physics, really: materialism is pretty much the best methodology to unpack the laws of physics: whatever you observe, see if you can find more elementary physical processes that explain it.

I am just a bit irritated by bold statements which assume that we know for certain that consciousness is an emergent property of physical processes. We do not, and the reason why this is such an accepted fact is more sociological than scientific - Newton and others decided to focus solely on physical processes as a methodological tool, and over centuries, the undeniable success of the approach in making discoveries _and_ building practical tools gave it an ontological status it did not have initially (Newton was for instance a very convinced Christian). Which makes me keen to remind that, because in the current scientific culture it is shameful to even ask the question.

Your point is a good one, although I have to point out that Duolingo does at least let you skip through the gamified stuff very quickly. When I'm doing lessons I reflexively double tap the "Ok" button to skip over the little whoo-hoo animation.

It would be awful if I was forced to wait for the animation to complete, which fortunately, they do not. The same applies to basically all the animations except for the opening screen.
I imagine AGI to be implemented something similar to MoE, so it seems fair to me.
I don't understand the point of PWAs on desktop.

I find it much easier to open a website from the addressbar then to open an "app" using spotlight.

"Loose bolts" is not a ton of detail. It could have nothing to do with any of the bolts discussed in that video.

I'm having a hard time imagining how this failure could occur from just those bolts "needing tightening". They are lock bolts with pins and appear to take shear forces and provide no clamping functionality. Even if the bolts were "loose", or not torqued to spec, how would they come all the way undone? Then the bolts, under shear, work their way out completely? And isn't the lift spring forcing the top pins into the upper part of the track? On top of that the curve of the track appears to be such that outward force on the door would actually cause the pins to go into the upper part of the track.

IDK, seems like there is something else going on. Different bolts maybe.
I see no problem, fundamentally, with leveraging the benefits of AI to generate content for whatever thing. I see the problem as those who contributed the content upon which the AI was trained not getting paid for the use of their content.

I can hazard a guess - it was cheap for them to make an amendment to change from 25 yrs to named-person+20, and it would have been expensive for them to figure out how to do a dynasty thing. So they kicked the can probably 90 years down the road for cheap.

Newer ETFs, from what I gather, don't have this problem at all. So presumably the "real" fix down the road will be to restructure in the proper legal entity, not a UIT.
Ah okay saw the textbook publish date and stupidly assumed that was the overall date. Thanks, makes sense! In that case this is a fascinating look into the past and a testament to how solid these principle are, since they’ve endured and popped up in similar lists.
Literally just flew on a United Airlines 737 MAX 9 one week ago. It seems like the craft I flew on has probably been grounded in the week since. I noticed that we were flying on a MAX before boarding and nearly asked to switch flights, but consoled myself that I was being irrational and that the planes were almost certainly fine now. Guess my confidence was misplaced.
Mine comes from a line in an episode of an 80s American TV series called Riptide. One of the characters used that as an alias. For some reason, that stuck with me ...
Do they also cut 25% of the top-brass salaries? You know, as a result of the responsibility these people always refer to when asked why their wage needs to be so high.

It's interesting data on what AI researchers think, but why should we think that AI researchers are going to have the most accurate predictions about the future of AI? The skills that make someone a good AI researcher aren't necessarily the same skills that make someone a good forecaster. Also, the people most likely to have biased views on the subject are people working within the field.
No, not a single model. A single system. Based off of nothing I expect AGI to basically be implemented like MoE.
All great context, thanks for weighing in here with so many details!

Anecdotally I can say that I've accidentally flagged a couple articles on mobile, the same goes for accidentally downvoting though its easy enough to notice that and fix it with the upvote I intended.

My reason for asking initially was mostly out of curiosity. I wasn't actually aware that there was a [dead] state separate from [flagged]. The few threads I've commented on and were later flagged just always make me wonder what the flag was for.

Its a larger ask of users with regards to moderation, but I could see it being really interesting to test out linking flags to comments. I.e. a user has to enter a comment when flagging a thread, potentially it is shown without the username visible for privacy.

Just my two cents though, thanks for following up here!
Still, isn't that high? With $150 you can rent a powerful server for a month and have a big LLM like Llama 2 running on it.
Indeed. Cheer on the tech if you like, but don't be surprised when you're out of work for the foreseeable future next.
I do not have any horse in this race, but it’s quite surprising for me that USA is jumping in and Europe and China are not championing the operations for the security in the Red See even having more vested interests on the transportation.
Kind of non-sequitur, but am I disconnected from reality if at this point I do not want to fly on a Boeing aircraft?
I bought a Dell XPS about 4 years ago, and having used them for work I was excited to get one for myself.

A few years later (I think 2 years), the battery failed to hold any charge whatsoever. When I called support to _buy_ (with money!) a new battery pack, they told me that it was impossible, that they no longer held them in stock.

I will never buy another Dell Laptop again. Have been more than pleased with my Thinkpad T495, and will be buying a Framework laptop after this one dies.
To be pedantic, I would argue that we aren't even close to being able to simulate the full brain of a flatworm on a supercomputer at anything deeper than a simple representation of neurons.

We can't even simulate all of the chemical processes inside a single cell. We don't even know all of the chemical processes. We don't know the function of most proteins.
Less cost and weight, and more rows. Only advantages there.
I'm having trouble parsing this against what Twilio does. Are they talking primarily about the Segment acquisition? I primarily know Twilio as an SMS gateway.
These are pretty beastly APUs, imo.

To go further, iGPUs need much more ram throughput than they have now. 128-bit ram is not enough!

I'd love love love to see an m1 style on-package ram, but I don't think it's likely (in the next couple years). What is happening though - if things go ok - is Strix Halo.

This announcement today is a desktop Hawk Point (same specs but higher power than existing mobile Hawk Point: 8c Z4, 16MB L3, 12 CU 780m GPU). Next APU due end of year or early next year is Strix Point, on Zen5+??. The real excitement though: there's supposed to be a "big" Strix Point called Strix Halo coming out a bit after that is alleged to boast a double wide 256b DDR5 memory interface. That doubled-up memory bandwidth should provide the headroom to go from good to great!

I really hope we get some ridiculous gaming decks with Strix Halo. Just turn off half the chip when on battery, but plug it on, put it on an actively cooled dock, and bamo, monster beast system. Hey, a nerd can dream, right?
More so the latter. Additionally, more and more students assume that getting the college degree is just a requirement for employment and that they don't need to actually learn anything.
I agree. We need way younger CEOs (and legislators!). This current crop is perfectly fine rushing QA to ship defective products as long as it lines their own pockets. In industries where failures won't directly kill people they actually plan the obsolescence to happen.

Leadership from a more environmentally-conscious and empathetic Gen Z would definitely have safer products that last longer.

Heh, I remember back then when they said "Airplane crashes come in threes", while I don't think that's exactly true, the number of large fatal crashes was much higher.
Since the aircraft with the incident was extremely new, it is pretty certain that the bolts have not been properly assembled at Boeing, so the problem is with their assembly procedures.
Right. I only meant the legality.

There are A TON of people people who would probably love to walk in and quit tomorrow if they had another job lined up or the means to go without one for a short while.
Literally yes (at least for Boeing). Pray Airbus doesn't do the same.
All living things have at least one cell, but they do not all operate in the same way. There’s possibility that worm cells and human cells behave similarly in this, but it’s also fully possible they behave in very dissimilar ways.

I was wondering recently if it's better to use wildcard certs because of this. On the other hand, all sub-domains are discoverable through DNS anyways. Does it then make a difference if the sub-domains are logged in the certificate transparency logs?

I am not familiar enough with that incident but I wonder how fast the plane was going and how close it was to actually being airborne, that seems like it must have been quite the impact but given that all crew survived there must be some factor that I'm missing. Blind luck either way.

That's really a characteristic of being 20 (with the "this" being different things of different people). Good for everybody that manages to keep the feeling later as well, but it is definitely easier at 20...

I'm going to take that to mean "P(every last human dead) > 0.5" because I can't model situations like that very well, but if for some reason (see Thucydides Trap for one theory, instrumental convergence for another) the AI system thinks the existence of humans is a problem for its risk management, it would probably want to kill them. "All processes that are stable we shall predict. All processes that are unstable we shall control." Since humans are an unstable process, and the easiest form of human to control is a corpse, it would be rational for an AI system that wants to improve its prediction of the future to kill all humans. It could plausibly do so with a series of bioengeneered pathogens, possibly starting with viruses to destroy civilization then moving on to bacteria dropped into water sources to clean up the survivors (as they don't have treated drinking water anymore due to civilization collapsing). Don't even try with an off switch, if no human is alive to trigger it, it can't be triggered, and dead man's switches can be subverted. If it thinks you hid the off switch it might try to kill everyone even if the switch does not exist. In that situation you can't farm, because farms can be seen from space (and an ASI is a better analyst than any spy agency could be), you can't hunt because all the animals are covered inside and out with special anti-human bacteria, natural water sources are also fully infected.

The trajectory shows it is going up. Threads is doing good considering they didn't have a web client until late August and wasn't in the EU until mid-December.
Sadly, Cloudflare didn't include this in their notes for additional context - not the best journalism.

It's in the top 5 overall apps across many countries in the EU. The Tech Threads and Photography community are especially good there.
I actually prefer pie charts when information is similar and you're trying to show relative sizes.

The example in the article shows why: in the example of the three, it's asking "which segment is biggest?" But that's the point, they are all similar. You don't need to know which one is biggest, or: only if you do need to know that, would it be the wrong way to display information.

I'm currently making a budgeting app for my friend, and I'm using pie chart for expenses. We don't need to know "which is the biggest"

It's more visually clear that there's broad categories for expenses, and how they sit "relative to the whole" - drawing it as a bar chart would be misleading, because it doesn't show "X is roughly the same size of Q,R,S put together." Without the observer doing some maths and mental "stacking"

I need something more than this 2 weeks ago. I ended up with using Postman mock server so I can customize the webhook response.
I have believed that to be the case for a while. It's perfectly logical, from a species point of view.

I also think that we are hardwired not to be able to believe our own lies, because of this. There is (99.9% of the time) a tell, for humans. For someone to effectively lie to us, we need to want to believe the lie, otherwise it fails.

The TV show "Lie to me" is therefore a fascinating exploration (a bit exaggerated in its effectiveness) of how to detect and point out such tells.
She corrected usage. Eg. when to use mama and matka where it is super hard to intellectually learn how formal one should be.

But again, in english, when is it appropriate to use mom and mother? It really depends on the context, culture, and relations.

Also hallucinations are probably a good thing for language learning. especially when you have an interface, chat, where you can interrogate – and an AI that does not get offended when you question it.
Man, if that's not automated how do they keep the numbers from being fudged? That's a lot of bolts, isn't it?
Learning a language at an older age is anyway difficult and will only succeed with a lot of effort. As someone that's learned a foreign language at almost 30 in a classroom, I can say that Duolingo does some things well, mostly by forcing or motivating you to repeat to memorize things. I say I learned it in a classroom, but objectively I never would've made it if I was not in the country whose official language I was learning. So the classroom gives you some basics and then you need to practice a lot until it becomes something you don't need to think about. As they say, internalize it. This takes years, but also depends on the language, some are more difficult or have different learning curves. Duolingo is again good at the practice part.

Most people try to use logic and comparisons to their native language, but this is imho not a good way. Kids don't learn like that. It's argued that grownups lose this ability, but personally I sometimes say thing where I have no idea why I said that and if it's really correct. But then it turns out it is. It's somewhere in my head and it got there by listening to other people speak or reading. I know a lot of people that got nowhere by going to class because they had their group of friends from e.g. Spain, China or Korea around them. I met a person from the US who was disappointed with the little progress they made and said "I don't understand that and why it's like that". My only answer was really "because it just is". So I think Duolingo has a place, as a sort of a virtual native speaker you can interact with.

Greed is a moral category, so, yes, it proves everything.
I played quite a bit with vertex three coloring in the past and it has a surprisingly sharp phase transition. If you randomly generate graphs by including each possible edge with probability p, then the graph will have average degree p×n. Don't quote me on the exact numbers, but something like if the average degree is about 3, then the graph is usually hard to color. If it is only 2.9, then the graph is usually easy to color, if it is 3.1 then there is usually either no valid coloring at all or it is easy to find one. So of all the graphs with average degree from 0 to n, mostly only graphs with average degree in a narrow band around 3 are hard.
I think you misunderstand the way the Higgs mass is calculated here. This is a highly non-linear relationship that is extremely sensitive to the top quark mass. In fact the second most massive quark would only contribute a fraction of one thousandth to the result (which is why it was ignored in the paper).

Consider this toy example: The mass m is calculated from some parameter like m~=b^4 and that parameter b was measured b=2.0±0.1. Using Gaussian error propagation, m would be 16±3.2. Now update the measurement of b just slightly to b=2.1±0.05. That 5% change in b changes the result to m=19.45±1.85 -> more than 20%, and with just one standard deviation of difference in b. The relationship is not linear.
