timestamp where reviewer discusses this idea
I thought that it was pretty clear from the part where it describes how the urn is filled:

> n of them are red, and 100-n are green, where n is chosen uniformly at random in [0, 100].

N is chosen first, and that many red balls are put in. You don't flip a coin 100 times and then determine N from how many heads you flipped, that would be a tortuous interpretation from my pov, and would violate the requirement that N is chosen uniformly, so it seems like it's right there in the question.
Well ironically this study shows that GPT-4 isn't actually very good:

>However, the obtained effect sizes were not large enough to be statistically significant, and our study highlighted the need for more research around what performance thresholds indicate a meaningful increase in risk.

A "mild uplift" in capabilities that isn't statistically significant doesn't really sound like overestimation.

Your claim about applied fields is not correct. When you do your research, you survey what other people have done in some subarea. You determine what has not been done. And then you do it.

When you write your paper you say exactly this in the introductory context. Here is what other people have done, here is a problem not yet solved in this area, we solve it. It saves the reader an enormous amount of time by not having to do a literature review themselves to see how the paper fits into the larger thrust of the field, and what the novelty is.

How can you justify the novelty other than by comparing to other people's work?

Look, what are the virt products out there that can be upped to VMWare levels? There's lots of stuff in open source.

This isn't a ground zero thing. There's probably 1,000 companies that use VMWare like capabilities, and you simply need to fund a group to bring FOSS to the level of VMWare.

Broadcom doing the acquisition gives you a bit of runway. You probably have a year or two before things get really bad. There's probably going to be VMWare engineers that hate the acquisition and will run to a foundation to make a competing/better FOSS equivalent. VirtualBox is a toy and owned by oracle. Well, it's open source too, right? Get something up that is Oracle-free and up to snuff.

This is a dumb strawman argument. Repealing the Jones Act would not immediately revoke all worker protections and existing interstate commerce rules in the US.

You craft in minecraft by arranging basic items on a 3x3 grid. If you do it right then a more complex item is created.

For example, a pickaxe is shaped roughly like that (two vertical sticks as a handle, and 3 other materials on the top row as a blade). You can make a better pickaxe by using nicer/rarer materials on the top row.

It isn't really improvisational, there are correct patterns and the UI has a recipe book now so you don't really need to use the grid if you do not want to. Back when the game was in beta these weren't documented and the community would just brute force the discovery.
In my case the /submit form threw me off, haven't used it much and the "text is optional if url is present part" didn't really register. I've probably been conditioned to modern UI which really guides you along i.e. I thought "text" was a required field

>A 35 year old athlete has no change of breaking into the NFL or NBA

I argue that mastery =/= the very best. You can't get into the NBA at 35 because you didn't master Basketball, you can't get in because hundreds of others have also mastered it and have other advantages over you, physcically.

But I guess it comes down to how we interpret "master".

>maybe you are a master of something nobody cares about.

Tree falls... I guess it's another question up for debate. I don't necessarily think a master's value lies in how others value it. Especially since trends are so fleeting.
Somewhat related is the "boy or girl paradox" ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_or_girl_paradox ), where the answer to "Mr. Smith has two children. At least one of them is a boy. What is the probability that both children are boys?” may be 2/3 instead of 1/2. The problem is much debated.

I was made aware of this paradox by the book Bernoulli's Fallacy by Aubrey Clayton ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55825328-bernoulli-s-fal... ), which I do recommend as an interesting read.
It is anecdotes like this that make me think that the public shareholder model is fundamentally flawed and a large part of why many American companies are struggling to truly build long term value, and many once great companies have been destroyed by beancounters to bleating calls of shareholder value.

The Facts About Electronic Surveillance Reform
What you describe is just politics with some violence involved. If you replace “terrorism” with “voting at elections”, you basically describe every electoral movement whatsoever. Calling that “stochastic whatever” seems like pseudo-intellectualism for people who get impressed by math words.

The term stochastic terrorism (as it is used in literature, as far as I know, eg in “The Age of Lone Wolf Terrorism”) is simpler. It means that someone sends a message into mass media with an intention to motivate someone to commit an act of terror. That’s all. The intention part quickly got buried by the users of the term, at least on the Internet (what’s the difference if the outcome is the same, amiright?), so now it just means any mean tweet that can motivate a random nut job to do something crazy, as is demonstrated by the comment I replied to.
Very amusing what marketing will come up with; RavenDB doesn't support actual transactions, but supports "business" transactions.
"I think this is about more than being precise, though, and more than a courtesy to those folks unfairly maligned as “nons.” Code is great and important and obviously critical to bringing many a product to life. But too many of our digital products suffer from a lack of input from other fields and perspectives—especially when it comes to a nuanced understanding of how products interact with systems of oppression and power. "

I appreciate the sentiment, but some of the non-technical managers who are more interested in making a buck than their fellow humans also need to get that nuanced understanding before asking for scummy products.
It's always really embarrassing to come to these comment sections and see a lot of smart people talk about how they're not being fooled by the "marketing hype" of existential AI risk.

Literally the top of the page is saying that they have no conclusive evidence that ChatGPT could actually increase the risk of biological weapons.

They are undertaking this effort because the question of how to stop any AI from ending humanity once it has the capabilities is completely unsolved. We don't even know if it's solvable, let alone what approach to take.

Don't you actually believe it is not essential to practice on weaker AI before we get to that point? Would you walk through a combat zone without thinking about how to protect yourself until after you hear a gunshot?

I expect many replies about ChatGPT being "too stupid" to end the world. Please hold those replies, as they completely miss the point. If you consider yourself an intelligent and technical person, and you think it's not worth thinking about existential risks posed by future AI, I would like to know when you think it will be time for AI researchers (not you personally) to start preparing for those risks.
They also think their voter information was "leaked" when they registered to vote, so it doesn't sound like they're very civically informed...

"It is an intentional choice to present this technology via this anthropomorphic chat interface, this person costume. If there were an artificial general intelligence in a cage, it feels natural that we might interact with it through something like a chat interface. It’s easy to flip that around, to think that there’s a technology that you interact with through a chat interface that it must be an artificial general intelligence. But as you can clearly see from interacting with the LLM directly via the Playground interface, the chat is just a layer of smoke and mirrors to strengthen the illusion of a conversational partner."
As long as you think the flipper chose their coin from a bag of coins with varied biases, then first flip always gives actionable information.

It’s mostly irrelevant what kind of distribution this bag of coins comes from (except for some degenerate cases). What matters is that selecting coins from this bag gives coins of varying biases.

Good article, but fundamentally flawed. "Technical" versus "non-technical" is simply a soft assessment of intelligence, and we treat people accordingly. If I say the PM is non-technical, I'm saying she can't grok mid-level technical concepts, and explaining is pointless.

Be interested in what you're learning. It's that simple.

If you're interested or even better yet passionate, you will naturally circumvent blockers (e.g. say 'no' to things blocking your goal without hesitation). You will naturally prioritize accordingly.

People who need 'systems' to do their personal stuff most likely aren't that into it. Systems are for businesses and managers. Sure, they can help - but. . .people who are experts are most likely interested in what they're doing and have worked at it tirelessly - because they're passionate or deeply interested in it. They will naturally gravitate to learning/doing the thing that they later on become experts at.

Einstein had a quote about how learning is a lot easier if you're passionate or interested. He was right.

I had understood FoundationDB to be more akin to a storage engine (e.g. a sub-component of a DBMS) than a full-on DBMS. Was I misunderstanding? If so I bet a lot of people have this understanding, going back to your point on the web site/general sentiment in the zeitgeist not necessarily reflecting what they are.

Can you share any more detail? Are you saying there are companies that build software on top of FoundationDB as their primary data store? or are those companies building software around FoundationDB that in turn presents as more of a data store in the traditional sense?

Mincing words. The term is necessary when you have to discuss whether someone has the requisite knowledge to do-the-thing.

I was very confused at first too, and didn't understand the difference. As the other comments in the thread allude to though, this instead an LLM to allow for a much much larger number of combinations, which is the "neal.fun" twist on it.

I do wish it was a bit better stated on the page itself.
They can, but at any given sample size, there is a minimum effect size to achieve statistical significance. Larger effect sizes are always more significant, and smaller effect sizes are always less significant.

So if you assume they wrote the paper after doing their work, and not before, the sentence makes perfect sense: the work is already done, there is an effect size cutoff for statistical significance, and they didn't reach it.

One of Andrew Gelman's frequently-mentioned points is that a statistical significance filter in publishing means that published effect sizes are almost always wildly overestimated, precisely due to this effect.
Genetic information is PHI and is already covered under HIPAA.
The problem is that, like most companies, 23andMe isn't a HIPAA covered entity. Because they're not a healthcare provider or health insurer, it doesn't apply to them.

Genetic information is also controlled by other laws such as GINA. So it is already some of the most controlled health data there is. But that's not a very high bar in the US.

Let's say a talented employee makes his company 10 000 dollars of profit each month, while costing 1000 dollars in salary.

An untalented employee might however only make the company 5000 dollars of profit each month, while costing the same 1000 salary.

The company still makes money on the untalented employee, so it's not right to talk about cost. This is how things work in most companies.
It's common for the people administering a company's public website and mail servers to be different people than the ones administering desktops and printers and Active Directory.

And the last of those is a major contributor to this since it wants to take over the domain it's on. You can solve this by delegating a subdomain to it, but now your internal use domain is longer, and there are security implications to this because now unrelated internal systems may e.g. have access to cookies set for the public website. Or have the ability to issue dynamic DNS updates, so an attacker who compromises a random low-level internal system can point a name inside the company's public domain to their own servers and even potentially have a TLS certificate issued to it via ACME, even if the public infrastructure hasn't been compromised.
