If Monty opens the door by chance there are 3 equally likely cases: There's a 1/3 chance you picked the car and Monty shows you a goat, 1/3 chance you picked a goat and Monty shows you the other goat, 1/3 chance you picked a goat and Monty shows you a car. So if Monty shows you a goat you have equal probability of being in one of the first two cases.

If Monty doesn't open the door by chance then he never shows you a car. So 2/3 of the time you picked a goat and Monty shows you the other goat.
RE: for a product which is effectively still in dev

Thats awesome, thank you for sharing!
Well, obviously not.

I wasn’t intending to make a statement on whether or not public transit should be independently profitable, just providing context.

I didn’t even touch on ridiculous regulations like “buy America” (aka all buses have to be manufactured in the US) that drive up the cost of transit in a way that private drivers would never accept.

There's bias and there's refusing to say Hitler is worse than repealing net neutrality.
People are asking Google/Gemini to do literally technologically impossible things right now.

Gemini is an LLM and LLM's are new and they hallucinate and make up nonexistent court cases and nonexistent books and everything else.

Trying to judge whether it can give a morally correct answer to whether Elon Musk or Hitler negatively impacted society more is ludicrous. It doesn't always get facts right -- why do you think it would get some sort of moral opinion like this "right"? Especially if it's being trained on Reddit which probably has lots of edgelords claiming that Elon is the worse one or something.

Google is between a rock and a hard place here. When they give it prompts to prevent it from saying objectionable things it gets criticized for being morally wishy-washy, like here. But without the safety mechanisms, the press will be all over it when people get it to spew racism, fascism, and what else have you.

And the idea that this is coming from Google's "culture" seems like a scapegoat to me, and totally unsupported.

I think it's clear that Google is attempting some kind of middle ground here that tries to minimize overall offensiveness, that LLM's are going to do a pretty bad job at this because they're not advanced enough to do a good job, and that their unsatisfactory answers are always going to be paraded around in blog posts by somebody.

And whatever you think of Google's culture, I don't think that has anything to do with it one way or another. This is simply the risk minimization that any large corporation applies to their products. The idea that this is a failure of Google culture, or of Sundar specifically, seems absurd. People are reading way too much into this. LLM's are really hard to get to work well.

I mean heck, last night I asked Gemini for some adventurous "fusion" ingredients that you might put in an Asian chicken salad. And for some reason its first draft response was entirely in Japanese (!). The second and third alternate drafts were in English.

It sometimes doesn't even get the language right, and we're expecting it to give morally correct responses, and trying to blame it on Google culture when when think it doesn't? That's crazy.

I'm not an expert on these things at all, but I wonder if it's tricky to link the mid/long form text structure to the short-form text structure, or if that's dependent on exactly how your transformers are working.

In this case, the short form is very clear on the two sides at play, and pulls no punches about Hitler. I'd suggest that any reasonable person drawing a conclusion would clearly know he was worse.

The issue is that at the mid length structure it's chosen to use a two-sides discussion without a clear conclusion. That's a good call for many discussions, if not most, but the piece that feels like it's missing is the link between the short-form and this level, which would influence it to structure the response in a much clearer way with a conclusion.
There's an Oxford professor, Bent Flyvbjerg (bonus points for knowing how to pronounce this) who's devoted his career to analyzing very large projects and why they're so terrible. The problems are not limited to transit, and they extend to big software projects and big construction as well. (Spoiler: they're inherent in the organization of bigness.)

Willie Brown (former mayor of SF and state legislative leader), when he was safely out of office, said the quiet part out loud: the initial estimates are just to sell the project. No one on the inside takes them seriously.

Isn't physical SIM cards like what TextNow is doing? https://www.textnow.com/wireless

You can buy a SIM for $5 and get a free phone number that you can only use in their app, which has ads. I know plenty of people who that service could be very useful for, $5 one-time for unlimited text/talk, if inconvenient.

I do think that using Firsty and Google Voice together could accomplish the same thing for free, except Firsty's unlock-for-an-hour model means you can't receive messages when you haven't watched an ad in the last hour, so maybe TextNow still has some use.
The constitution does actually explicitly establish convicts as a specific underclass; in fact it literally specifically allows them and only them to be slaves. The 13th amendment reads:

That's how open-source abandonware is supposed to work though: the idea is that whenever a (for-profit) company produces something that it can't afford to run anymore but also can't afford to shut-down and damage their customer relationships, then they'll open-source the project and give it to an open-source foundation for stewardship and repo hosting. Yes, it's where software goes-to-die-a-long-death, but it also gives some people hope, and the possibility of giving it a new life in future. Currently, the Apache Foundation is the go-to place for that, and it benefits everyone considering the alternatives are worse.

Obivously the main "alternative" is for the original company to simply shut down the product/service, which can do irreperable harm to a company when they have high-profile customers who are utterly dependent on a service.

Another alternative is to use an open-source foundation that's directly managed by the original company, which is what Microsoft did with its DotNet Foundation ( https://dotnetfoundation.org/ ) - and while Microsoft's legal team ensures the foundation is "legally" independent, in practice we know all the significant shots are being called from within Microsoft-proper; but it does give us some modest reassurances that .NET won't suddenly return to being closed-source overnight.

Another alternative is to not open-source it and to instead sell it off to another company that can maintain it while still being profitable - this is what Adobe did with Flash: they sold it all off to Samsung because their Harman division wanted to continue using Flash for embedded/automotive UX work. This approach can work, but doesn't benefit the wider ecosystem the way that open-sourcing does - and something something shareholder value and return-on-investment by selling rather than writing-it-off...

What companies won't do is let any of their engs that are passionate about a project split-off from the company to run and maintain it, le sigh.

"If all you know is that he opened a goat door you have learned nothing."

This is precisely where you are wrong.
Sure - prisoners are people who society has determined should have limits on their freedom and maybe this can be understood as a reasonable limit? Different people would draw lines in different places. For me, it seems essential that we preserve access to intellectual and communicative resources for at least two reasons: the post-prison future for correctly convicted people and the wrongly convicted. Prison must, after all, be a thing one is allowed to "move past" in a meaningful way.

I think "reasonable"[1] access to communication & informational resources is a sensible bedrock upon which to guarantee that people who've done wrong and completed their proper punishment can spend their time and energy preparing to lead a more productive life after they are free.

If this be the case, why not enlighten us with the opinions of someone who you believe is? Your comment adds little to no value to the discussion.
Incorrect. You have no way to know if he would only show you a goat if you picked the car.

If that were the case then switching is a guaranteed loss. Simply knowing that he opened a door and showed a goat does not mean he would have done this regardless of your choice.

There’s nothing counterculture to conservatism my good man. Hell, it’s in the name.

The left moves society forward, the right holds society back. I don’t like everything the young kids are doing but I know I will eventually be wrong, so I try to understand them and learn to embrace the change they bring. The young left will always, eventually, move society forward. Whether we like it or not. What you’re witnessing is people beginning to understand the paradox of tolerance. Complete tolerance towards all views will always fail because the intolerant will exploit the tolerant. Now that people understand that things are always, or even often, that simple. In order to maintain tolerance, you must also practice intolerance of intolerance. I see the whole “calling people a Nazi bigot” for saying things like “go woke or go broke” or things in that vein, is a part of that realization.

I’ve always of the mind of “free speech absolutism” as Elon calls it. Then I read about how Germany handled things post ww2 and concluded that they could no longer allow fully free speech if they were going to stop another Hitler from rising to power. They had to be intolerant to intolerance. It’s a dangerous precedent that requires great care to avoid a more dangerous outcome.

In general, being an angry hateful bigot of any kind has progressively been moved to the fringe of the right, instead of being smack dab in the middle of the mainstream.

Interracial marriage.

Slavery.

Voting rights for minorities and women.

Jim Crow.

Civil Rights.

Protection of Voting rights

Self ownership / Reproductive rights

Acceptance of LGBT+/GSRM communities.

Acceptance of minorities.

Same sex marriage.

Healthcare for all.

The right has met all of these with protest and violence. They eventually always lose, but not before killing a bunch of people on the left in the process.

You’re on the wrong side of history. I’ve been there. Figure out why you’re so resistant to change/progress. Figure out why you’re so angry all the time. Figure out why you’re so filled with hate.

If you’re surrounded by hateful people, figure out how to leave those people behind. Don’t announce your intentions. Don’t evangelize your views. Just start your path to change. The people in your orbit will either move towards you or move away from you. Expect this. Most will move away, but some will see your example and follow it.

That’s the approach a friend of mine took when he decided he didn’t want to be a violent alcoholic anymore. He just decided to change. He didn’t ask me to change with him. He just did it. He never left my side so I never left his. Eventually, I followed in his example. Eventually, so did a couple of his other friends.

His approach helped me become a much happier person.

I hope it helps you.

While it is probably not possible to speak of "the entire punk movement" as a single thing (to the extent that there even is a punk movement per se), but the 1970s punk movement in London was not motivated by:

> seeing the rat race coming and stepping aside

it was a response to several different elements occuring alongside and simultaneously:

* the bleakness of 1970s Britain
* the perception of significant barriers to entry into the world of artistic creation (i.e. you needed to be "very good" or even "virtuosic" to participate)
* racial dynamics unfolding as the children of the Windrush generation began to come of age, and new waves of immigrants from the "Commonwealth" were more visibly present.
* boredom with the latest Yes album

There was no rat race coming - almost nobody was going to participate in that (a good and a bad thing, all at once).

Now, punk in NYC at about the same time might have been very different, and I'm certain that punk in other places and later times has almost certainly been very different. But that original incarnation was not an attempt to avoid the rat race, it was a desperate reaching for something of one's own (even if that was just a white riot), because society wasn't going to give you anything worth having.
Hey. Thanks for making this. It really solves this silly use-case I have for certs that I can never get automated management going.

> I wish people would stop with these "gotcha" questions that no normal person would ever ask.

Why? It's a demo that clearly surfaces a problem. If a system is required to handle names N characters long and can't, I'd be perfectly fine with a bug report that uses a "name" of "12345678901234567890..." instead of focusing the reporter to find a real name N characters long.

Ignorant Monty absolutely can exist. The person standing in front of the audience is not necessarily the person who arranged the prize. And if he's not, he knows nothing more than the audience.

I was, however, wrong that Monty was ignorant. By his own statement, he always knew the answer. But whether or not he was on your side depended on his mood. And he applied various forms of pressure to get you to make the right, or wrong, decision.

Therefore the problem was not stated correctly. A correct statement needs to not just state what you witness, but the counterfactuals about possibilities that you didn't witness.
If you knew that there was an assassin out there trying to find you and cause you harm, would you consider “I don’t wear a t-shirt with my address on it” to be any form of protection against that assassin?

If you want protection against that, you need to focus on better home security, hiring bodyguards, going to the police etc, and you’re better off assuming that the assassin will find your address regardless of whether or not you wear a t-shirt with it printed on.

Put another way: there’s a difference between “I don’t do this thing” and “I rely on not doing this thing for my safety”. The second one makes a lot more assumptions than the first one does, and those assumptions can lead to problems if they are false assumptions.

I don’t think it’s fair to claim “it’s still in dev“ once you’ve released it to the public.

Intentional or not, a product is causing harm from the moment it’s available.

So I think the criticism is fair (if you believe it causes harm) even though they may claim it’s not done yet.

Be a machine tool in human form -- a tool that helps make other tools.

To me, true punking is equally material and social/emotional.

No one can be an island, especially without being reliant on corporate largess, but you can do your part... and form bonds with those of similar mind and help them.

And honestly, I get a perverse sense of satisfaction in being friends and nice to people with whom I may have many disagreements.

To me, punk strong feels like (a) giving people shit whenever you feel they deserve it, (b) being introspective enough to take shit when it's directed at you, & (c) helping the oddballs, weirdos, enemies-of-the-system when you can, even if you disagree with part of their beliefs.

When you unplug from mass culture, you lose the central touchstone that person-to-person relationships normally have, so have to be okay with an expanded definition of what "friend" looks like.

Or be a hermit, but that feels like passive punking.
What is the purpose of "prison"?

Sure, you need to keep someone who murders people away from the general population. That purpose of prison is restriction.

However, you have way more people in "prison" for things like drug possession. The purpose of prison in that case should be rehabilitation. You can help people kick their drug problem as well as gain education that they likely missed for various reasons. "Restricting" these people's access to resources is counterproductive.

The problem is that people in the US have forgotten that the purpose of incarceration should be about "paying your debt to society" and that afterward you should be reintegrated.

It's also an issue that people in the US seem to believe that prison has a deterrent effect. By and large, it does not (white collar crime being the exception--but we never hear about increasing the penalties for executives). People who are committing crime are not going to be deterred by small adjustments to prison sentences. They know that going to prison is a risk and are doing it anyway.
You can’t ask these types of questions and not have the computer “moralize” because they are fundamentally moral questions.

You and I have no problem saying hitler was worse but a Nazi party member from 1940 would likely say Hitler was obviously better because we have different moralities.

Questions with explicit facts like “show me the founding fathers of the United States” that were all known actual people showing up with wildly different looks is one failure mode of these systems but I keep seeing commentators in this post bring up questions that do not have a “correct” answer without looking through a specific moral viewpoint, and getting bent out of shape that the model is responding with an answer through their own personal lens

Thanks for this. I could 4s box breathing from the start but appreciate that some folks need intermediate steps to ramp up.
First, congrats on giving up alcohol. I did the same 3.5 years ago, best decision of my life.

I do train martial arts (Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai), have a garden, like to cook, read, etc.

But I've never found any real purpose for life, although I love Buddhism, and felt most complete when I was traveling through Bangkok with my girlfriend, visiting temples, meditating, and just living life.

Buddhism gives me a clarity of mind and a feeling of happiness that I was lacking without it. The purpose, essentially, is to end suffering in the world (as well as within yourself). Life is suffering. We can put out the flames, little by little.

In general, I think life philosophies are what people lack. You might try reading the Stoics and see the ways in which they recommend living life, or, like me, adopt a branch of Buddhism. But do explore as many philosophies as you can. Find one that clicks for you. And don't forget to travel.
Yeah I question if it's something we even could do.

But even if is, it's going to kill and hurt a lot of people. Probably less than setting every electrical device on (half of) the planet on fire or whatever, but good luck convincing people of that when their dad is on dialysis or all their food spoils and they can't get to the store.
It was "possible" in 1949. That's the point. It's not a science fiction novel.

Many undergraduates and most graduate students do not pay tuition at Ivies, rather it gets covered by financial aid or research stipends. And whether you get admitted is decided independently from whether you get financial aid. Of course, being rich makes it easier to have the earlier education and CV necessary to get admitted, but that issue is unrelated.
