Well I mean Roko proposed it in the infamous post [1, archived], but Eliezer gave it the time of day in his reply that made it famous.

In fact, when I read Roko's thread for the first time, I always thought it was incredibly foolish that a leading AI researcher and thought leader made it unequivocally clear that a public AI thought experiment post was a dangerous precedent-setting thought because of its potential to be part of said AI's future knowledgebase and the motives it would build therefrom. Because now, THAT worry is included in that knowledgebase; and its endorsed from a reputable person in the field - and became more indexable as a result.

A better move, in my opinion, would have been a silent deletion and a stern talk in PMs. Now Roko's Basilisk is far-reaching, and undeniably and empirically a scary thought to humans; and the evidence of both those things are irreversible. C'est la vie.

None of those need the Moon except for 'potential resources' and maybe some science. And the 'potential resources' is pharisaical. The US has already done the Moon thing, I guess the current Moon plan is to act as a stepping stone for Mars but honestly I don't see the point of going to Mars either. Humanity would be hard pressed to destroy the Earth to such a point that it would be more inhospitable than Mars already is.
Thanks for that, I learned something today!

I build notify a small serverless app with a pwa, that allows you to send web push notifications to your devices.

It was a cloudflare worker in the beginning (you can find it in the branches) but i rewrote it for deno deploy, since I found hosting cf worker locally (which was one of my goals) a pain.

That's not what anyone means by modification. Of course you can choose a custom factory setup (which is purchasing a new car without modifying it) and swap an official part for another official part (usually called maintenance). This has nothing to do with what people usually mean by car modification, where you are absolutely free to change whatever you want, and do crazy stuff the manufacturer never imagined. They don't allow true modification by the normal meaning of the word for anyone who is interested in cars. They only allow you to choose from a limited selection of factory specs. And as you mentioned the options are minor, not the drivetrain itself. No real car enthusiast calls that modification.

Search for "3000hp lambo" on youtube and you'll see what modification actually means.
Thanks, I'm glad to see your time machine caught my comment.

I'm using the 32-bit GGUF model from the Google repo, not a different quantized model, so I could have one less source of error. It's hard to tell with LLMs if its a bug. It just gives slightly stranger answers sometimes, but it's not completely gibberish. or incoherent sentences or have extra punctuations like with some other LLM bugs I've seen.

Still, I'll wait a few days to build llama.cpp again to see if there are any changes.
I live in 15th arrondissement, like 5 minutes from portes de versaille, 35 square meters, I pay 900€, not sharing a room.
- I don't have a car, I use public transportation because you don't really need a car, ~90 Euros per month I can go as far as 40km outside paris, 50% of the public transportation is paid by the employer so it's 45€ per month
- teleco bundle: 50€ (1Gbs up and down + 100Gb 5G)
- energy spending: 35€/month
- I eat basically 50% of the time outside, good food organic, burger, ramen etc ...

At the end of the month, I have 1k left.

You clearly don't know Paris, don't know France and don't know Europe :)
To "steal" this sort of information and utilize it requires immense intelligence.
Calm down. I note: "Here, you may be correct, that is less certain because the (FDK) license explicitly mentions needing to obtain a patent license."

> By your broken rationale, if someone uses my free "AshamedSSL" library in a enterprisey security product and _their_ customers are hacked to no end, I'm liable. Citation needed.

I'm not sure how this follows. How did they use your software? If licensed re: the MIT, you disclaimed liability already?

What if your argument was closer to the facts: You license your software as MIT, you are aware of patent claims but are simply silent on the matter, and a user uses the software and is sued for patent infringement. If I were the licensee's attorney, I'd join you in the lawsuit arguing the good faith licensee relied on your apparent authority to convey the patent rights, and you induced my client to commit infringement by not disclosing patent claims which you were aware of.
I only use reddit if some search takes me there.

I deleted my user during the last protests because the reddit culture became toxic and it was time to quit anyway. The protest was the excuse that I needed.
I don't believe we're in disagrement. Yes, there's bad management which will resist all attempts to improve things. Quit, move on. You won't fix the place.

I'm specifically pushing against the stance of

> That's the job of management, that's why they get rewarded for that, and I have a feeling we have a lot of bad management.

It's just not. And with that stance, you won't get things moving forward because it displays a major disregard for other peoples motivations, priorities and constraints. It displays the assumption that technical solutions can be judged on purely technical merits while real-world tradeoffs are so much more complex. If you want to be able to move things forward, you need to work with the organizational structure, not shunt off work to them.
He was convicted. Good riddance to the cops that quit after that, that’s perfect.
It’s less compute for the same model sizes. Rest assured that there will still be a race to scale model sizes (and data) to achieve better performance.
This is, at best, a weak reading of the comment. Of all the damaging and un-ecological features of Western society, in a comment about climate change, the personal automobile and the effects thereof should top everybody's list.

You've taken this as a chance to farm karma and dunk on China and authoritarianism, but reading GP's comment in good faith, per the HN guidelines, suggests we need better transit, more walkable cities, and the ability to move people and their purchases without taking 3 tons of steel along for the ride. Think smaller vehicles like South-East Asia (Thailand, Veitnam), available and reliable transit (Hong Kong), and the ability to get someplace without dying, on foot (Japan)

East vs West doesn't need to always boil down to "China and Chinese allies bad". Sometimes it can be a chance for reflection, and to see where we could do better.
Interesting! As we say nowadays about movies: 'this needs a reboot'!

This would be a great primer for elementary/primary school students, a nice visual teaser to applied physics and chemistry concepts.
I would hypothesize that the goal isn't preventing mass casualties, but rather preventing mass casualties that shift popular sentiment toward making war with certain countries. (The government calls these acts "terrorism", but citizens being afraid isn't quite what they have a problem with!)

The US government doesn't want a repeat of Sept 11. By which I don't mean "planes crashing into buildings"; but rather "operatives of some other country doing something on US soil, that results in US citizens becoming enraged-enough toward a particular other country, that — sensible realpolitik or not — any president that didn't declare war with that country, would be immediately impeached and replaced with one that would."

The US government, despite being a nominal democracy, wants to "the head to control the heart" when it comes to deciding when to go to war — because the heart is very easy to manipulate, and because there are always tons of realpolitik things going on that the heart knows nothing about.

I would guess that the government thinks that US citizens won't get too angry if terrorists bomb a bus, or a plane taking off/landing, or a line full of people. All these things are bad, but they don't strike me as being offensive to the American spirit.

The TSA, meanwhile, is very concerned about the airspace above... football stadiums. Which tells you about their thinking re: what would "offend the American spirit."
> Coroutines are fun, but in real code please consider using actual threads.

Coroutines are lightweight and trivial to synchronize. They are perfect for small bits of incremental computation, like iterators and tokenizers. Maybe you're thinking of green threads?
Institutions try to preserve themselves.

Sometimes it leads to suggested outcome, sometimes they evolve into something else.
Didn't really do anything for me neither helping to understand the subject nor the style of it. Rather the opposite I am now less likely to try it.
I really would want to know why anyone would want to be a Reddit moderator tirelessly fighting bots, content farms and assorted nutjobs for content that they do not own and a platform that only profits from their work without sharing anything with them.

Are they all saints? Karma farmers ? PR folks
playing the long game?
A human that mimics the speech of someone that does understand usually doesn't understand himself. We see that happen all the time with real humans, you have probably seen that as well.

To see if a human understands we ask them edge questions and things they probably haven't seen before, and if they fail there but just manage for common things then we know the human just faked understanding. Every LLM today fails this, so they don't understand, just like we say humans don't understand that produces the same output. These LLM has superhuman memory so their ability to mimic smart humans is much greater than a human faker, but other than that they are just like your typical human faker.
producing geniuses is not a billion dollar industry

The concept of producing a specific kind of human being an industry or not is like something out of "A Brave New World".

He wrote the books. That's what he did.

What was in the books let me build things faster and with more malleability that has been a game changer in my career.
This is mentioned in the article near the top.
It's been interesting to note how my ability to empathize with other people correlates to my income level, and I wouldn't be surprised if you could actually see damage in a billionaire's brain. Combining these two 'mechanisms' gives you a powerful risk-taker who, on a fundamental level, can't help but view people as numbers on a spreadsheet.

What I'm saying is that you just need to give someone a cat and tell them they won the lottery to create the perfect CEO or CEO simulator.
Agreed, it's absolutely true (in this and other things) that some people need to be advised "more than your current is better", while others need to be advised "less than your current is better".

I think you can teach that (at least at this org) the job is about professionalism, in a team, and what the actual nature of the goals is.

You really teach it by example. Articulating it can help, as a suggested interpretation of what you're demonstrating, but people will notice if you say one thing and do another.

Also, if they're still confused, tell them that much of what they've read on the Internet is for different kinds of organizations or individuals. (I'm recalling, for example, one of those influencer videos about day in the life at a FAANG, where almost the entire day is spent getting free food, walking around campus and bumping into other barely-20 friends and chatting and laughing like you're still carefree in school and don't know anything yet, plus a coding/debugging session and a product meeting, both of which seemed like fashion poses. Hahaha. Learn the professionalism, and have a life, but think more about conscientiousness than fabulousness.)
No.

It’s insurance.

You don’t buy insurance if you think something will happen, you buy it because you think it might.
I feel like many people (men) here seem to live in a different planet than me. Women care so much less about wealth and looks than men think. Be a nice person, caring, reasonably fun to take with, ensure basic hygiene and carry your part of emotional and household duties and there are plenty of women out there who would be interested. But that also requires going out and meeting real women at work or in leisure environments they enjoy.

Honestly it is quite staggering how easy many fellow men find it to blame women for all supposed dating unfairness, but most do not even a basic own effort (or do so once and then give up when it doesn't work). Take care of yourself, have some hobbies and dare to talk to new people. And stop blaming others or the system or an amorphous and diverse group like women which make up more than 50% of the population for your own unhappiness.
It is not known for sure, but the most plausible explanation is that during the last Ice Ages the crabs and most fish have disappeared from there due to low temperatures.

The disappearance of these predators has allowed other animal groups to flourish, while in other places those groups are restricted to higher depths, where such predators are also absent.
Very cool! Function calling seems to be a new paradigm that is really taking off.

Does anyone know how the LLM vendors are actually implementing function calling? Is it just a thoughtful prompt and a loop where they parse outputs and check if it corresponds to the arguments of the function? Or something else?
Humans are not slothes though, humans are borgs. Cybernetic organisms (in the academic sense) who engineer their way around adversity, including the ones we caused.
It's easier to actually let remote compute update their load to a central place and do calculation on it rather than asking everyone all the time.
What if it's just not the kind of thing normal people actually care about? I know that's a taboo thought here on HN, but a well-maintained walled garden is often just a lot nicer for users than too much freedom.

Steam, for example, still dominates PC gaming despite the Epic Game Store, the Microsoft Store, GOG, etc. Conversely, I still don't trust most of the apps on the Google Play Store. And the macOS desktop app marketplace is such a mess, and I wish were more apps were just available on the official Apple app store instead of requiring some third-party purchase pathway (and usually delivered with a DMG image or some Homebrew cask, with no verification or developer signing at all).

Even if Apple allowed third-party app stores, I wouldn't want to install them (nor handle billing through Epic instead of Apple, especially now that Epic is half owned by Tencent).

The peace of mind of having to trust just one marketplace, and also the convenience of being able to easily sync my purchases, save files, etc. across multiple devices using a single login is way more important.

It's not just the technical limitations, but also that some people just don't actually want the wild west when it comes to their computing devices...
Oh I'm sure that if you're willing to pay for a certificate you can get one for pretty much anything you want. I was specifically talking about Let's Encrypt :).
You probably missed how I started off my statement with "that probably" they might be perceived of as rich by much of the world where $1,480 PPP dollars a month is the average.

Also the poll you linked would seem to agree with my position that much of HN is probably significantly above that wage point and might be thought of as rich.

Finally if you believe something is representative of a population and you are correct in that belief then statistics tells us that it is probably a good idea to assume that a specific person drawn from that group is most likely to possess that representative property. However to be polite you should probably start off with some words like "probably" to catch the outliers who do not possess the representative quality.
If you like this sort of thing, give Subnautica (and its sequel, Below Zero) a spin.
That is not the point I was making.

Problem with inflation in every country is not that it needs to be above 0. It's actually much higher than they publicly say. With not giving you real numbers, they lie officially to get richer. Intentional
Fully agree, this is unscientific nonsense trying to model an incredibly hard to model thing. People seem to just Google papers that support their worldview without even bothering to read them.
So he tested it on a version for the iPad 1? Safari didn’t have pwa features at that time, the concept of pwa's wasn’t even a thing then.
No one who has been to China would ever think that. It's an awe-inspiring country with massive cities and fascinating people.
As for platform integration Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) are browser based apps with an underlying reusable javascript framework. PWAs can get pretty close to "native" Android, IOS, and desktop apps that can be used in a web browser and/or installed and if appropriate run completely offline.

I've had good results with a PWA that - with the same code and content - runs on the MS Edge browser (desktop) and on Android Chrome and Samsung web browsers(mobile). Haven't tried on IOS.

No play stores involved, though, if you want, play stores do accept PWAs.

PWAs may not be the answer to everything but I believe they're a start.
>Retail stores also use sound and music to manipulate the environment. A study from the early 1980s showed that slow-tempo music led to shoppers moving more slowly through the store and spending more money than if fast-tempo music played. (There wasn’t a huge difference in results between slow-tempo music and no music at all.)

>“It’s almost mood maintenance,” says Theodore Noseworthy, a York University business professor who has studied the impacts of sound. “They’re trying to keep you in this positive state and almost in flow [so] that if you’re shopping, [you] just stay shopping.”

Dawn Of The Dead - Mall Music Collection / George A. Romero / 1978 / Horror Movie Music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1NWcGZGD-M

>Unlike any other video on YouTube, this mall music collection provides all tracks heard within the Monroeville Mall in George Romero's 1978 zombie classic 'Dawn Of The Dead'. Finding the best quality for these tracks let alone their full versions wasn't easy. After a lot of research and editing, I give you the best I could put together. This cliché Muzak really makes the film what it is and captures a sense of slapstick comedy very much present in the movie. As far as I'm aware, these were real tracks heard in the actual mall back in the 1970s.

TRACK LISTING (HEARD IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):

1. Victorian Vintage
2. Shopping Music #1
3. Shopping Music #2
4. African Drums
5. We Are The Champions
6. Ragtime Razzamatazz
7. Tango Tango
8. Fugarock
9. Restaurant music
10. The Gonk

(The Gonk is by far the zombiest: https://youtu.be/t1NWcGZGD-M?t=1051 )
The really important point: "Furthermore, the ni-DESs are highly soluble in water and can be recovered and recycled."

Most leaching processes produce toxic waste, often very large quantities of toxic waste.
It's usually soluble in water, so plants have big leachate ponds, where the water evaporates, leaving behind some kind of sludge. The question here is, can this new leachate really be recycled effectively, or is there a sludge-disposal problem?

This is probably a solveable problem, because recycling batteries starts with a very rich resource. It's processes which extract from low-grade ores that yield giant dumps of leftover crud. Gold and rare earth extraction are notorious for this.

>except detailed webs of statistical probabilities only emits things that "look right" .. not at all the idea of General Artificial Intelligence.

I mean, this is what evolution does too. The variants that 'looked right' but were not fit to survive got weeded out. The variants that were wrong but didn't negatively affect fitness to the point of non-reproduction stayed around. Looking right and being right are not significantly different in this case.

Really? I feel like I've met quite a few people who were consistently immoral shitheads. Unless I'm misunderstand the technical definition, it seems to be fairly common, especially among dysfunctional people. It also seems like something that people may grow out of. Psychopathy on the other hand appears extremely rare and pretty much a lifelong condition.

Thanks for the reply, really didn't know such a vast amount of chemical reactions and outcomes was grounded in QM.
Political influence isn’t going to align if two sides of the country are irrevocably misaligned on some fundamentals (racism, LGBT etc.). There’s no middle ground (mainly LGBT) on these issues so it’s going to have to come down to a pseudo civil war with one side prevailing.
Yeah, there are 3 prongs to use when debating about classification: (1) statistical rarity, (2) distress, and (3) the ability to seek reasonable accomodations in the environment.
How dare you suggest a political party should offer some material benefit to its supporters in exchange for their effort and partisanship!
I have used and love readability.js. I used it in an application that lets you run various NLP analyses over a web page (surprisals, reading time, word counts, etc.). For that, I needed only the main page content. readability.js retrieves main page content well, consistently.

The Alan Turing Institute maintains a Python wrapper around readability.js, too: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/ReadabiliPy.
I'm not sure I buy the "risk->stress->pets" connection. In my own experience, anecdotal of course, people who take risks do so because risk-taking doesn't stress them out as much as it would other people.

But your point is still valid. The conventional wisdom on why risk-taking people might be more prone to toxoplasmosis in the first place is that they're more likely to eat undercooked or other ill-prepared meat, which is actually a much more significant risk factor for toxoplasmosis than cat ownership.
Ask HN: How do you research vehicles?
I was wondering how people find information for vehicles online, what information do you value the most (safety ratings, consumer complaints, organic reviews, industry publications)?

For example, say your looking at a 2020 Hyundai Tucson with the highest trim package, what sources would you rely on for details about the trim package as well as other features? The first page of google results don't provide much information regarding what its actually like to own the car and live with it.

My main question is do you think there is room for improvement in the way we research vehicles? Would you see any value in a platform that aggregates all this info into a clean interface(summarize blog posts, highlight common consumer complaints, visualize market data)?

Thanks
