There's a group as ISCAS who are rebuilding everything in Fedora for unclear reasons (Fedora has a perfectly good effort to build RISC-V packages at http://fedora.riscv.rocks). Not sure if they're also rebuilding Debian too.
There are many contributors in the GitHub Issue that claim that they never signed a CLA nor received any compensation

I am curious if it is possible to keep a macroscale system strongly decoupled from its environment during compute despite needing to be at least weakly coupled during i/o.

If you want to deal with T2 through diet, you should really try to get a sensor on your arm, if only for a year or so. You need to learn what food cause a sugar spike in you, and which don't.
The superset is 243MB from https://justine.lol/cosmo3/ but it might be more convenient to be lazy and run sshfs rather than modify the far end.
Just because your government can break your opsec doesn’t imply it’s not worth doing your best. Maybe you’ll avoid being caught in a lower-cost/mass surveillance system and you might not do anything to attract a more dedicated attack.

Re fingerprint: there’s risks around having your fingerprint lifted from something you touch (eg a glass). It’s a movie trope but it’s not that far fetched from being doable. Eg from 20 years ago: https://www.theregister.com/2002/05/16/gummi_bears_defeat_fi...

It can be both - uboot can emulate enough of EFI to start Linux.
> many of whom have either a vested interest in restricting AI research by others (but not by them, because they are safe and responsible and harmless),

Anyone who argues that other people shouldn't build AGI but they should is indeed selling snake oil.

The existence of opportunistic people co-opting a message does not invalidate the original message: don't build AGI, don't risk building AGI, don't assume it will be obvious in advance where the line is and how much capability is safe.
CLI tools are such an obvious use case though, I'd at least consider RIIR if it's purely CLI

This is true, but it's easy for them to weasel out of those questions.
In India the entire population gave their fingerprint to the government via a massive program called Aadhaar! [1]

This is mandatory for bank accounts, sim cards and what not. So its practically unlivable without Aadhaar these days.

Personal anecdote: I've used Vim for many years, but I never progressed much beyond the basics, because I almost never put much active effort into learning more advanced motions. About a year ago, I discovered the Helix editor, which has a (IMO) genius feature, where pressing a key to start a motion or other action pops up a little pop-up box that shows all the possible options. It just perfectly clicks with my brain, I can easily ignore the pop-up once I've got the muscle memory, or I can even disable the pop-ups altogether. It's brilliant for discoverability.

With this, I've passively memorized far more advanced motions in the last 12 months than I did in the ~8 years before that. And since Helix is a vim style editor, many of these motions also work in vim!

I feel like Helix is the perfect editor for people like me who know just enough vim to be comfortable, but never got very deep into customizing or muscle memory with advanced motions. Helix does some things differently compared to Vim, which I hear puts off some more advanced Vim users.

The built-in LSP & highlighting support with a stack-based "jump to symbol" and keybinds to traverse the stack also perfectly maps to how I want to navigate code, it has made me far more productive than ever before.

I'm not affiliated with the project myself, I'm just super happy I found the perfect editor for me :]
The rational was to design a format that can serve as a (flattened) parse tree for the JSON.

JSON handling functions in SQLite took in textual JSON and mostly spat out JSON text. So their structure was: (1) parse JSON, (2) massage in memory representation, (3) serialize JSON.

If you can come up with a format that can serve as the in memory representation, and persist that to disk, your functions can skip (1) and (3), and focus on (2).

Still, many times you'll need JSON text at the boundary, so making (1) and (3) fast are needed to.

Parsing and formatting numbers can also be an unnecessary expense, if you do that more often than you actually need it.
> Nobody said the software is bug free.

The comment I replied to literally said exactly that.
Depending on jurisdiction, there might be cases where law enforcement can force you to use your biometric to unlock your phone but they can’t force you to reveal your pin. Reality vs what’s technically legal makes this comparison hard (ie consult with a local legal expert).
I did a comparison of a few RISC-V single board computers and the Lichee Pi 4A is definitely very slow on real world tasks, even though in theory it ought to be the fastest. I never got to the bottom of exactly why - it might be software issues or non-upstream drivers. At the moment I'd recommend the VF2 for general use.

> "we may have some form of entitlement, like spoiled children, that has made us weaker"

An alternative way to look at it is that the people of the past were subjected to massive unprocessed trauma at every age, and that made them weaker than us.

Speechmatics have added a new language to the speech recognition (ASR) roster: Persian. Significantly better performance than other providers and pushes AI to understand more than American English voices.

I think the real issue would be physical access. With fairly high resolution 3d printers and a copy of your prints, I'm sure a replica of your prints could be created in a matter of minutes. Imagine you are at an airport and customs wants to look at your phone. You refuse to unlock it. Depending on the country, they can compel you to do so. If you refuse to comply, if they have a copy of your prints they could just have a replica printed out. This is why there is usually a way to set your phone into a state where it requires a passcode, which in theory is more legally protected than biometrics (on an iPhone, hold the power button + volume up/down for a second until you get the screen to turn off / make an emergency call. Even if you now hit cancel the phone requires a passcode to unlock).
I'm a bit optimistic about this in the sense that we might get payments similar to what is provided by WeChat in China. Just put up a QR code and you can accept payments, scan a QR code and accept in your app.

This might end up replacing VISA/Mastercard and their ~5% fees as middleman completely.

If everyone stores cash in twitter bank accounts, then they can transfer it around at almost no cost.

If twitter can actually execute or a competitor (Meta/Whatsapp) does this is another matter.

Aren't all of them quantitative instead of qualitative? Every trader I know in Big Finance is basically creating/using statistical models based on books' numbers vs other books, not analysing a company's products and labour potential on a human level.
There are many phones that have what you want. Look at Chinese brands. Except the small size. Nobody buys small phones anymore, so they're a niche nobody caters to.
It's generally considered a poor strategy to threaten a board (people in general) with outcomes they might prefer.

> RISC-V has miles to go, I worry that with the current pace of ARM it may never catch up.

Only assuming development progress happens linearly. In fact, technical progress goes exponentially. It took years to even get to the point to have RISC-V SoCs and now we are seeing the first laptop products. The pace will accelerate, especially with the promise of RISC-V being a cheaper platform to build hardware on than ARM and X86.
Yes. You might just accidentally fall out of the window, no problem.
As a neuroscientist: lots of my study is improved by the understanding of physics. Electrophysiology is a classical example of folks studying the physics-only aspect of neurobiology. But, more crucially than that, our brain cells are ion-specific. Some times they let in only sodium, some times only potassium, and some times only calcium. Understanding how biology maintains specificity at the single atom level, while letting in millions of those atoms in at the same time is a purely physical riddle. We have some answers to it, if I've sparked your curiosity. ;)

I am using Scrum since 2006 and have worked with 30+ Teams so far. I don´t care for Scrum or any other framework, i only care about creating great organisations that empower teams to generate value.

In 2022 + 2023 i conducted about > 220 insight interviews with Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches and Product Owners for a product i am currently developing.

There was a VERY VERY clear pattern:

1. almost all teams where using Scrum or Kanban or some mixture of it
2. less then 1% of teams actually had a product vision, product goals or a sprint goals
3. nobody was actually doing "inspect&adapt"

My assumption #1: it is not the framework or the people, the failure is within the system.

My assumption #2: every company is different, a company is a complex system and many many factors contribute to the outcomes, nothing is clearly black or white. Any framework needs to be adopted with the core concepts in place; with Scrum the core concepts are usually not implemented and therefore Scrum fails.

() Site note: training standards of people seems to be very low; a lot of Sscrum Masters and even "Agile Coaches" cannot explain even the basic concepts of Scrum and Kanban.

Example: What is the purpose of Daily Standup? How can you assess the quality of Standup? How can you improve the Standup?

So what is wrong with the system?
- company does not have a product strategy, only tasks like "develop feature X"
- company does not have strategy management processes in place
- there is NO collection of meaningful data regarding process health and performance and specially Scrum Master work against creating transparency (out of fear)

What is the solution? Implementation of a framework without robust performance monitoring is pointless and failure is certain.

The issue? It seems that Scrum Masters push the most against performance monitoring out of fear to become transparent. Also, being transparent in an company with low (psychological) safety might be professional suicide.

People forget that Scrum was developed by observing successful (senior) teams, but if they don´t understand how value and waste it generated it is meaningless to follow any framework.

Example: Having a lot of meetings does not generate the waste, it is only the symptom. The root causes of many meetings are inefficient management and communication structures. In order to avoid the waste you don´t need to remove the meetings, but first resolve the underlaying issue(s) and then the need for the meetings disappear. Removing the wasteful meetings might actually create more waste/harm, as the company might perform even more badly afterwards.

So yes, individual developers might get more working hours but generate less value over time. The purpose is not to maximize the working hours of developers, but to maximize the value generated by the team. The assumption that "more development hours = more value generated" assumes that alignment with product goals, teamwork and cross-functional collaboration is in place.
That isn't a contradiction, not all fatty animal byproducts are edible, or at least not without filtering, sterilization, or other steps defenders may not have had available.
I think that assumption is why Yudkowsky suggested an international binding agreement to not develop a "too smart" AI (the terms AGI and ASI mean different things to different people) wouldn't be worth the paper it was written on unless everyone was prepared to enforce it with air strikes on any sufficiently large computer cluster.
The example is extreme, but they also point that out in the article. It's still useful to be able to model this, and as they point out, if you use a less extreme but still extremely ambitious 5% of the Sahara, the effect becomes negligible.

So in theory, solar power could affect the climate by itself, but it practice it won't.

But a model that shows that if you change something in this part of the world, it's going to affect rainfall in these other parts of the world, is still very interesting and potentially useful. It could help reduce desertification.
I'm sorry that's wack. Not nearly good or polished enough to be a serious contender.

That's more than I expected for sure. But I do wonder how 'concentrated' these are. I'd think (mental) illnesses are really tied to genetics.

thanks for the feedback!

- "automates root cause analysis" -> it means (1) showing which rows have affected the metrics and (2) provide some automated context (is it an update? a delete? a dimension that changed? etc). But it is still very early for 2.

- Metrics are defined by users in their usual "data" repository (using dbt for example). The metric computation is not defined on Datadrift, we only go "read it".

- No, it's really for batch processing in a data warehouse (like hourly / daily computations)

- That's not something we had in mind (I know some dbt package can help you do this)
> and yet you don't see very many buildings collapse, bridges fail, and damns flood down valley.

Hi! Let me tell you about my wonderful country. Norway! I'm sure you've heard about it. The socialist utopia in Scandinavia! ;-)

The Braskereidfoss dam failed during a flood last fall. Luckily just a 'river dam' and not a reservoir dam. Still rather bad.

Oh, and during the same freak whether event, but different place in the country. The Randklev railway bridge failed over the river Lågen, just by Ringebu.

And during the last 8 years, we've had two road bridges collapse. One by Sjoa in 2016 (Perkolo bridge) and then 16 months ago Tretten bridge. We had the fantastic idea of building wooden bridge sfor road traffic. Here's a nice article on Tretten bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tretten_Bridge

But yeah, not too many building collapses . Just a bunch of infrastructure collapse.
Thanks for the thorough response, I feel like you and I aren't so dissimilar in terms of background and perspective in various categories. It's somehow reassuring, because although I haven't been through previous downtowns in the broader economy, I have got through dark periods of years where I couldn't land anything, and I have ended up without more than a car roof over my head. This time is just.. uniquely intense. What I anticipate happening is that like you say, I'll land some random interview and it'll work out, or I'll go back to being a barista or general labor if I can land something there. I'm not really seeing contracts working out yet.

Your experience with interviews and rate of response feels very familiar. Roles I'm definitely qualified for and interviewed well with just not turning out at the last step, and every other variation of it being a dice roll.

macOS uses a lot of Emacs bindings. Ctrl-a for beginning of line, ctrl-e for end, etc etc.

And, agreed, macOS' use of shortcuts is fantastic and I wish I could replicate it on Linux.
Almost, the nested function goes out of scope too if the outer function finishes.

It's worth noting that courts (in the common law system) don't generally play any kind of inquisitive role in cases - there's a presumption that both sides bring legal representation for an adversarial debate where the court is impartial and independent.

Given many of the sub post masters struggled to fund their legal cases (and legal aid is not likely going to stretch to funding the intensity of expert witness work required to discredit a whole system), this also seems to be one of the non technical failings not often talked about.

There's certainly questions about why courts didn't spot issues, but ultimately the common law adversarial system assumes both parties can get equal quality of representation. Unless you have very strong technical knowledge (this site is a non representative sample!) you'd struggle to really shed any light on the bug and get a court to agree with your line of defence.

Ultimately that's what did happen in the group litigation by Bates, about which the TV drama was ultimately created.

> Can we agree that people should not be able to unilaterally take existential risks with the future of humanity without the consent of humanity

This has nothing to do with should. There are at the very least a handful of people who can, today, unilaterally take risks with the future of humanity without the consent of humanity. I do not see any reason to think that will change in the near future. If these people can build something that they believe is the equivalent of nuclear weapons, you better believe they will.

As they say, the cat is already out of the bag.
I guess hyperlibertarian don't see the use of insurance either so this is a moot point. And they wouldn't live close to any neighbor (or rather, nobody would want to live close to them).
The combination is truly key, how we do it:

- Combining LLMs, gradient boosting, and multiple statistical/heuristic based approaches
- For LLMs: rely on (quite) large context length + fine-tuning
- The (ML) models are used to extract mathematically provable quality checks

Synchronized blocks are not a problem. Synchronized blocks that later don’t unblock the thread may sometimes be.
No, we can't. People have never been able to trust each other so much that they would allow the risk of being marginalised in the name of safety. We don't trust people. Other people are out to get us, or to get ahead. We still think mostly in tribal logic.

If they say "safety" we hear "we want to get an edge by hindering you", or "we want to protect our nice social position by blocking others who would use AI to bootstrap themselves". Or "we want AI to misrepresent your position because we don't like how you think".

We are adversaries that collaborate and compete at the same time. That is why open source AI is the only way ahead, it places the least amount of control on some people by other people.

Even AI safety experts accept that humans misusing AI is a more realistic scenario than AI rebelling against humans. The main problem is that we know how people think and we don't trust them. We are still waging holy wars between us.
Someone (not me) put it like this:
