The two aren't mutually exclusive, and the question here is return on investment, especially if you know said fisherman has strong interests in other ventures. If you're already paying someone to catch you fish, are you going to get more fish by paying them even more or by paying them more and asking them to devote time/attention to catching fish as well?

You have to define "value".

Personally, I roll my eyes any time someone questions "value". If a customer is willing to pay $399, then obviously they put the value of whatever the results may be from it at at least $399.
It's possible that white noise is interesting to look at but it simply overloads our feeble human brains. If you could zoom in, slow down, and blur the white noise to make it a slowly changing gradient I bet it would be somewhat engaging.
> The data is a salable asset, the law requires them to preserve it so that it can be sold and the money returned to creditors.

This would depend on the terms you agreed to at the time you signed the account and submitted your data. I'm aware a lot of companies like to bury marketing disclosures under a busload of T&Cs. But if you didn't agree having your marketable data allowed to be sold the sale the to creditors can't backdoor it in. They can only reach out to you to opt into new terms, which you should refuse.

Yes, but they use a "non-collapsing" compass that can transmit distances without constructing them, not Euclid's compass (which can be used to transmit distances, with more work).

>those laws don't allow it to be created from nothing.

What isn't allowed is for the total matter and energy within the universe to increase or decrease. But if we're talking about the creation of the universe itself along with its matter and energy, then there are no laws of physics that forbid it happening from literally nothing. The state of there being nothing is not within the scope of physics, which deals solely with what happens inside our own universe.

It's like if you have an MMO where money can be neither created nor destroyed, but when the server was first booted all the money supply already existed within the world. A player seeking to explain where the money came from could not appeal to the rules of the game, because the rules only apply once the game is already running.
This trait must serve us in some capacity.

You see this with children and iPads. My kids know 3x what I did when I was their same age. It's as if something can finally fill their bandwidth, keep up with their thoughts, and answer those questions in real-time. No wonder they get angry when it's time to put away the iPad - they're engaged at a high level. Much like when I am programming on a sideproject and my focus is interrupted.

The biggest travesty is that we don't get more control over Youtube's algorithm. That we can't ban all Youtube videos with the word "Minecraft" in it, so that we can override their curiosity and say "OK, learn something else today."

Youtube's focus solely on engagement above all else is the biggest tragedy of the modern world. Such a massive opportunity for education - e.g. inserting more academic videos in between entertainment. But we don't get that feature, or any manual overrides for more control.

If any Youtube engineers are reading, please give us (the parents) more control! Youtube, do better.
Imagine being able to keep your entire product suite safe for kids by just forcing your users to prove via id who they are and enforcing an actual age limit.

In context, I would be careful taking this conclusion at face value quite yet, though it does seem intuitive, just as the other one was.

“About 250 healthy older adults came from a long-term study of heart health … 739 people were newly recruited. . . . Participants recruited from the heart-health study had more risk factors for developing dementia, including being older and having faster rates of cognitive decline than those from the general community.

In the main analysis of all study participants, the researchers saw no difference in the rate of change in cognitive functioning between people who received the hearing aids and those who didn’t.

However, when the analysis focused on people from the heart-health study, who had a higher risk of dementia, the benefit of the hearing aids was substantial. Those who received hearing aids had an almost 50% reduction in the rate of cognitive decline.”

> 2. It is infrequent that RFC1918 space is used internally in telecom networks. It does happen, but it is rare.

I have worked at 2 different ISPs... RFC1918 is used EVERYWHERE, including on networks that customers can reach by sending packets through their modems/CPE. I am also familiar with the internal network of 3 others because we closely worked together during a bunch of merger/acquisitions/divestments/territory split-ups.

This caused a lot of fun when one customer ran nmap across all of RFC1918 space and hit internal security systems that were advertised across the ISPs backbone but were not properly filtered for traffic coming from customers because of a bug in a CMTS that failed to properly apply ACL's.
All their PR moves seem to be like this one. Not complaining
The implementation is incredibly simplistic to the point where I consider it broken.

I have a custom GPT where part of the shtick is that it speaks in rhyme. As an aside, I tried, and repeatedly failed, to get it to speak in iambic pentameter blank verse, but for whatever reason, that isn't a concept/constraint it can recognize and work with. So whatever, rhyming is ok.

The point isn't about that, it's that when I talk with this GPT for long enough, it abruptly forgets about speaking in rhyme. The custom prompt is just initial token state, once it drops out of the context window, it's gone.

This is a disaster for anyone trying to deploy a task-specific GPT, because it will appear to work for a few thousand tokens, after which it will just turn into vanilla GPT. There have to be a ton of ways to prevent this from happening but the system as implemented doesn't do any of them.

Thank you for this! I am just about to fix the PSU on my Mac Plus 1MB and this might come in handy.
If I understand correctly, CompCert doesn't promise to compile correct programs correctly. Rather, it promises that if the compile succeeds, it's correct. This means it suffices to have (for example) a proved-correct check that a coloring register allocator allocated correctly, but that's allowed to abort if the coloring is incorrect. The register allocator itself need not be proved correct.

In practice, this is probably fine, since you won't run into bugs where the compiler aborts very often (and if you do, you know that you did.)

Right, that's why the "noisy TV problem" is a "problem" - it makes the simple model of curiosity used in the research less effective, because it causes agents to get stuck watching TV instead of exploring and advancing in the game, which is what we'd want them to do. (Though this does seem somewhat reminiscent of certain human behaviors...). One possible solution is to equip agents with a more expressive predictive model, capable of discerning "interesting" randomness from "uninteresting" randomness (for some TBD definition of "interesting", of course I'm handwaving here - I'm sure in the 5 past years there's been progress on this front).
I think you could fake the quadrature signals pretty easily. When I designed my laser mouse, I initially wanted to be able to reprogram the microcontroller to output USB, PS/2, quadrature, etc. but that got dropped so as to just get it out the door... but I think a USB->quadrature adapter would be pretty doable.
Squatting on DoD IP space was also the norm for an ISP I worked at...

No, information entropy of white noise is very low.

(Basically, it's the number of degrees of freedom of the underlying probability distribution, and white noise doesn't have many.)
It's "point free" (can be initiated from anywhere), and can be "regular" (same motions results in the same actions), making it navigable without looking or requiring precise selection. Close cousin to "gesture" interfaces.

eg: Up/Right/Up => something, Up/Left/Down => something else.

With three gestures you get ~4x3x3 => 36 actions => a whole alnum-keyboard of 26+10 digits! (assuming you only allow four gestures and remove the "reverse" after choosing any direction, eg: Left/Right/Left would be equivalent to Left/... with pending input). Even better if you throw in an 8-way selector minimally in the first position.

Your best long term strategy is to switch to environments that don't use ambient authority as a foundation.
I understand why this is a common issue, but I also believe that this is indicative of organizational dysfunction.

It takes a few seconds to document what a domain is used for / what department is using it. If you have 5,000 domains, you're already doing this. As well, at that scale you're likely using an enterprise domain registrar, so there is absolutely zero possibility of a domain expiring. (If you're not ... phew)

Many other industries with zero tolerance for failure are able to successfully implement multi-layered approaches for anticipating and eliminating issues. Yet, IT manages to find excuses to explain why a $10 domain can't be reliably renewed. That's wild. That's embarrassing.
The notion of curiosity by prediction error can probably be refined with some information theoretic quantities to eventually realize that new random samples of TV static are not surprising.
Why is this being called an open source model? This is a proprietary model that has been leaked on the internet, and will remain so until Mistral releases it officially.

Like Llama 1 they won't care about personal use, but no corp is going to touch this.

> I find a pie menu works well in a mouse-heavy workflow like 3D modelling.

Ah thank you, that's very helpful. I can see how you wouldn't want to move your hand from mouse to keyboard for keyboard shortcuts that aren't one-handed, but the pie menu would allow you to develop a spatial/directional muscle memory (like keyboard shortcuts have) that linear context menus don't have.

Exactly the context I was missing -- I've never done any 3D modeling!
Thank goodness!

In my experience non-technical roles need to invent names and processes to claim to be more technical.

We know enough to know that macroscopic higher demential spaces connected to our apparently 3 dimensional space aren't a thing.

Having limits to our understanding doesn't mean all things are equally possible.

For instance there aren't any 2 dimensional beings because it's impossible to slice a mathematical pure plane and have macroscopic objects exist in that plane even fields surrounding a singular atom exist in 3d.

I will speculate!

Basing CEO compensation only on time spent may seem like a bad idea, sure, but there's nothing that prevents you from stipulating both performance and time/attention metrics. You may have to offer more equity, but that's all part and parcel of negotiations.
>> The main issue with PRs (in my opinion) is that they limit severely the context in which the changes are viewed. If I want to properly review a piece of code I have to check it out and follow the diff in its proper context (either while debugging) or even while just reading it.

> but that means that the upside of viewing them directly on the source forge is lost, and I might as well have received a patch. :)

I don't follow, github gives it to you both ways, so I don't see the downside here. And on top of that, you can pull comments into your IDE of choice would you need to. I hardly see the problem, I suspect it isn't technical.

> I disagree strongly with this type of sentiment. Mercurial works, mercurial source forges exist.

Your disagreement doesn't align with the reality, unfortunately. Could you name one mercurial forge? They aren't many left anymore, and you have to get out of your way to host your mercurial code somewhere. And while it's hard to name mercurial forge, it's easy to name high profile projects which reluctantly converted to git: python, mozilla, pypy. It only got worse over time, "interestingly", about as fast as git consolidated its monopoly. And that's the main flaw in your point, that success somehow is based on merit alone, with no influence of peer/social pressure/network effect.

FYI, I just submitted this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39208464 which is pretty much what remains of hosted mercurial today.
> what's the premise here? this thing will become iteratively better until it could potentially be capable of bad outcomes?

It certainly could. More likely, if an LLM is used, it will be as a piece integrating various specialized agents.

I, not an expert in AI interpretability or alignment research, can't say if what they're doing is worthwhile or not in addressing existential risk. But I also don't know if actual experts can say that either.

> how much resources do you think should be dedicated to regulating it?

Definitely not a lower amount than we currently are allocating.

> what's the proposal here?

That the smart people here stop looking for any excuse to deny and ridicule the existential threat posed by future AI. Every thread involving OpenAI (a company I personally dislike and don't trust) doesn't need to just turn into series of glib, myopic jokes.
This reminds me of the murder bot book series by Martha Wells. The main character (an advanced ai robot) started really enjoying human media and even used media as a bargaining chip to work with other bots. One striking moment was when the main character was discussing a rogue and violent robot with a transport bot.

“ART said, What does it want?

To kill all the humans, I answered.

I could feel ART metaphorically clutch its function. If there were no humans, there would be no crew to protect and no reason to do research and fill its databases. It said, That is irrational.

I know, I said, if the humans were dead, who would make the media? It was so outrageous, it sounded like something a human would say.” -Martha Wells, Artificial Condition

Although fiction, it’s very thought provoking in evaluating where a truly sentient AI might place its motives. On one hand the research transport bot (ART) is motivated to protect its humans because it would be functionless without them. While the main character (a security unit, who is typically treated badly by humans) sarcastically but partially truthfully places its motives to not kill humans in funding its curiosity of TV.

Would implementing curiosity in a sentient AI act as a safeguard possibly?

Would curiosity arise as a byproduct of sentience without being directly programmed?

For a long time I've been a happy user of rss2email, originally written by Aaron Swartz. https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email

It periodically fetches the rss feeds, and sends the content to a specified email address where you can use your email reader to sort them into folders.

Assuming you have a "good" email client, this takes care of most of my RSS requirements: Free software, offline availability, and the ability to read anywhere.

The only missing feature I think it could use is a nice GUI to manage feeds.
What's interesting to me is that they always had this cost, but in the past it was always baked into the cost of anything that used a public IP (namely EC2).

The prices for IPv4 addresses finally got so high that they had to break it out into a separate charge because otherwise it would be too much to bake into the cost of everything. I also completely believe them when they say they are doing it to force people to be more intentional about their use of public IPv4.

And of course it's a great way to get people to move to IPv6, since those are still "free" (in quotes because those prices are still baked into the things that support them).
