> n.b. It's not, that's why it was possible for them to move on from Altman

That's only under the assumption that the split with Altman was due to the doomers vs bloomers conflict and not just a dirty move from OpenAI board member Adam D'Angelo, trying to protect his investment in Quora's AI Poe.
Euler's textbooks were such a gift to Europe. I'm always a bit perplexed he doesn't get more credit for this given he wrote some of the first calculus books people could read, because Newton had not cared or tried to. So in many ways Euler was also just an incredible educator and largely lead the charge spreading many of these new ideas. Usually credit is given to Chatelet, but she didn't really write any textbooks, just a commentary to help spread Newton's mechanics. Euler actually wrote the first bona-fide textbook on the matter. Laplace was being literal when he said "Read Euler, read Euler, read Euler".

I own a copy of his "Elements of Algebra" and it's interesting to read because he actually talks and uses the notion of infinitesimals in this basic algebra book. And it makes sense! He essentially just says "think of the biggest number, make it even bigger!!! Now, put it under 1, and just like that we 'get almost zero'"

You would never see something like that now, or even then really, and yet the idea is so simple a kid understands. His writing just has such an optimistic and playful sense to it.
Ah yes windows, the classic developer OS.
This would be lovely if it pans out. I’ve been grappling with a neurological issue for a while now that might be autoimmune (testing inconclusive so far); fortunately the neurological symptoms are reversible, but having an autoimmune variant of this issue would be life-altering with how treatment progresses.
I think that full text search queries over long text data is already kind of expensive server side. Users are paying specifically for this, not better UI or simple direct match search available in free to use projects. I would say it's very reasonable to charge for costs incurred here.

If like OP you think that the work Open AI is doing is going to have a such a large effect on society that private entities should not be able to work on it then the question of America Vs China is indeed one of the most important questions.

> Ideally, we'd fix the problem of unhoused people on the margins of society and we'd eliminate the vast majority of thefts like this.

I don't see any evidence of this.

The article did point out that only 5% of the arrests were organized criminals, but I would expect the organized ones to do more than their fair share of total thefts. I'd also expect them to get arrested less often than their amateur counterparts.

But more importantly, your proposal assumes that eliminating poverty would eliminate crime. That makes intuitive sense, but I don't think it's true. I've heard that many of the package thieves in my neighborhood are middle class people who just steal opportunistically.
I'm frequently confused when coming across hyperbolic comments like these. You can just say: "feedback: make it more clear that it currently only supports MacOS". Calling it worse than bad is a stretch.

Sorry, I gleaned that from what you wrote:

"even if we met every single climate target climate change is going to happen without humans anyways."

You then pointed out that the sun is getting hotter, and qualified that with "longer time scale obvs but you get my point."

Is your point that you believe human activity makes a slow and/or small enough contribution to observed changes in climate that we shouldn't bother changing anything about our behaviour ("climate change is going to happen without humans anyways")? If I misunderstand this, could you please correct my understanding?

I don't understand why you brought up the sun's luminosity increase. You yourself imply that you know the rate of increase is so slow that it's completely misleading to bring up in the context of the past few decades. For example: https://environmental-geology-dev.pressbooks.tru.ca/chapter/...

AWS Nitro Enclaves in Deno/Rust
Near-zero dependency example of how to use AWS Nitro enclaves from Deno. Can serve as a code sample or a blueprint to understand the whole process, because I found the AWS documentation and process quite unclear and over-engineered. Parts of the code (the code to access the Nitro Secure Module and the HTTP Proxy that connects on a VSOCK) are written in Rust and accessed in Deno through FFI.

The great majority of water usage in California is for agriculture, not "coastal cities."

I think that these comments are getting us closer. I'm not disagreeing with these more nuanced takes on science. The key is 'nuanced'. In the general public, the 'right' is generally 'against science' and 'truth'. They will blatantly state as such.

I agree, not everything is always binary True/False, and culture can influence these. But in todays world, it is hard to discuss something with a lot of gray area.

Also. Seems like you might be playing at language games some. Really, if we pick everything apart enough, nothing means anything.

Sorry, that’s not what I meant. There was an implied respectively there. But they do have a common stated goal of an immediate ceasefire. As is the stated goal of South Africa and supportive nations the very same at the ICJ. So same goal via different means.

As for effectiveness, we do know that protests do work if they are disruptive enough. But we also know that rulings by the ICJ have a tendency to be ignored if a powerful enough nation disagrees with them. Both the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle are among the nations largest cities who are calling for ceasefire. Barbara Lee and Pramila Jayapal are among very few members of congress calling for ceasefire.

We will see in the days after Friday whether the actions at the ICJ were enough, and that actions against international shipping were indeed unnecessary. However, I’m gonna remain pessimistic about that.

There's a streaming service in Australia called Binge, and their UX makes me feel something like road rage.

There is a horizontal row of elements for the Seasons of a show, and then below that is a horizontal row of thumbnails for each episode in that season.

The only way you know whether you are currently focused on the Seasons or the Episodes row is that the element you are focusing is perhaps 2.5% larger than the other elements.

There is no border, no shaders over the element - nothing to tell you where you are without arbitrarily moving the focus around just to gather some context.

Depends on the contracting mechanism. If it's something like cost-plus, there is less pressure. But on fixed cost, it might be just as great.
I wonder if any of these are avoided by disabling JIT, which I have done. And also, just how much of the codebase is JIT related? I also don't think C++ is always the problem. This is a complex language run-time, and there's all sorts of issues that can be language and language run-time related, regardless of it being written in Rust or C++, that manifest as out-of-bounds errors.

I couldn't find any information about work-arounds.

The findings are based on remains from people that lived post megafauna extinction. I bet there are good odds the conclusion would be different if those remains were from people that lived during pleistocene, over 10.000 years ago, before people hunted Glyptodonts, Eremotherium and other big game to extinction.

I mean, there is many ways to do that, but one way is to instead of asking a single person you let people apply. For projects that are not as attractive you up the compensation/bonuses till someone is interested.

Then they made the choice themselves and even if the project sucks in the same way, they made the choice themselves.

An important rule of low/no budget film-making is: no mattee who is in your crew/cast, know why they agreed. For an established actor that might be trying out a new or different acting style, a different role, whatever.

Know what motivates your people besides the salary and treat that motivation like the most valuable secret intel tou could have ever aquired.

I had a fun project I tried once. I wanted to see if a neural network could be fed a Bitcoin public key and output the private key. To make things simple, I tried to see if it could even predict a single bit of the private key. 256 bits of input, 1 bit of output.

I created a set of 1000 public/private key pairs to act as the test set. Then, I looped, generating a new set of 1000 key pairs, trained for several epochs, then tested on the test set.

After 3 days of training (granted, on a CPU several years ago), the results on the test set did not converge. Nearly every trial on the test set was 47-53% correct. I think I had one run that was 60% correct, but that was likely pure lock. Do enough trials of 1000 coin flips and you'll likely find one where you get at least 600 heads.

Back to your original comment...Is what I was attempting to do even possible? Did my network need more layers? More nodes per layer? Or was it simply not possible?

Based on what I know about cryptography, it shouldn't be possible. A friend of mine said that for a basic feed-forward neural network to solve a problem, the problem has to be solvable via a massive polynomial that the training will suss out. Hashing does not have such a polynomial, or it would indicate the algorithm is broken.

But I still always wonder...what if I had a bigger network...
There was great demand but crowds of eco-protesters would block the landing and prevented all operation, so they saw no revenue for many quarters.

Chrome had many vulnerabilities that could be avoided with a safer language, but complex bugs in JIT are not one of them.

And yet you can’t articulate a single logical reason why reducing Exxon’s oil production will reduce demand for oil. Not even a hypothetical scenario of how it might work. Interesting.

Do you realize that the US native buffalo population used to be as high as 30 to 60 million before we decimated them?

30 to 60. million. grazers. Roaming the countryside, eating and pooping and fertilizing our soil. Remember when the US had some of the most fertile, nutrient-rich soil in the entire world? Remember how perfectly balanced our ecosystem was before we ruined it?

The issue is not ruminants. It's everything else we've done to this planet throwing everything life carefully manicured into disarray.
As someone who has done a bit of both Java and CL (and Perl, and C, and Free Pascal, and Guile Scheme, and Raku, and... oh my, where does the time go?) Java is entirely fine. A bit heavy on the ol' RAM, and if you really want to get it fast you need to know which knobs to push and which settings to turn various dials to, but it's fine. I haven't tried that new Graal VM thing, hearsay is that it makes Java run real good, but with plain old OpenJDK it's fine.

This might be bad in its own way, but I saw that the screenshots were 100% macOS and immediately assumed that it was Mac only and closed the tab. I actually had to go back and look because I could have sworn that I saw it written somewhere, but no, it was just the screenshots and the general feel of the text that clued me in.

I think part of it is that apps that are designed to be multi-platform don't tend to use macOS screenshots because maxOS is a minority of their users.

The comment about access is related to a US company. The relevant legal jurisdiction and framework is the US. If it were a French company, the relevant jurisdiction would be... France. You may not realize this, but OpenAI is a US company.

The comment about all the important work in the world being done by private companies was indeed a global comment. You may not realize this, but covid vaccines were made by astrazeneca (UK), BioNTech (Germany), several US companies and others. Defense companies are located in every major economy. Most countries have power systems which are privately owned. Commercial planes are mostly built by one large French company and one large US company. All the large producers of cars around the world are private companies - big ones exist in the US, Japan, various European countries, Korea and China.
