Kombucha is my drink of choice, but it is fermented tea so if tea is out so is kombucha.

The other options I can think of are are flavored seltzers/flavored water, Mocktails/virgin cocktails/Shirley Temples, agua fresca, non-alcoholic beer, and herbal tea. Availability varies, of course.
In addition to its literal meaning, it is also a figurative expression, as TFA explains, and you can check for yourself in a dictionary.

Those words were used in a tweet, not an order to military personnel. For better or worse, that kind of extreme language was common on Twitter.

And those words did not appear in the op-ed published by the NYT.

It's hard to be mad at this because everyone trying to make a general purpose AI generator realized the "it only generates white people" problem and the training data is likely too far gone to fix it from the ground up. And so they (DALL-E) made a compromise to inject a diverse set of races into people's prompts and accept that it will be silly in cases where the prompt implies a race without explicitly saying it because the prompts most are using aren't historical photos of the revolutionary war.

Like they can't win, they could try to blame the training data and throw their hands up but there's already plenty of examples of the AI reflecting racism that it would just add to the pile. It's the curse of being a big visible player in the space, StabilityAI doesn't have the same problem because they aren't facing much pressure to fix it.

Honestly I think one of the best things for the industry would be a law that flips the burden from the AI vendor to the AI user -- "AI is a reflection of humanity including and especially our faults and the highest performing AI's for useful work are those that don't seek to mitigate those faults. Therefore if you use AI in your products it's up to you to take care that those faults don't bleed through."
If I understand the article, it’s that if you keep everything the same and simply replace ai for human doctors, then you won’t have better outcomes. Basically, you sometimes need multiple diagnostics and actually need to get scans and medical imagery to detect issues. These are all directly improved by AI. AI should make diagnosis cheaper and more effective, with less bias. MRIs should cost 1/10th as much as we increase the throughput of machines with AI (as several people are working on) and reduce the need for expensive human labor.

It’s the lowering of cost that feels like the revolution in healthcare. AI should enable nearly free ways of mining noisy signals in the body could catch issues. Smart toilets, mirrors, scans, etc. all help.

Another part of it is that (imo) one of the biggest boons from group drinking is that it builds trust by giving people something to bond over — you’ve all imbibed to lower your inhibitions and get a little sloppy/loose, and the next day you see that you’re still accepted and part of the group.

Teetotalers might be there physically, but they’ve opted out of the shared experience of making themselves vulnerable.
> Just because UN inspectors couldn't find anything didn't necessarily mean there wasn't anything to find.

I mean... that's the best evidence for or against. Are you going to believe the UN inspectors on the ground in Iraq, or are you going to believe CIA "analysts" who never met foreign interference they didn't like? The CIA is one of the least trustworthy organizations in history.

> It's easy to say in hindsight "well of course there weren't any WMDs!" but with the knowledge of what was available to the public, it really wasn't that clear, and it very well could have been true.

I said it with foresight. And I was far from the only one. Before the invasion there were massive anti-war protests worldwide.

The short answer is yes. Separate from that, I also have access to two of their laboratories later this year. This is contingent not on their willingness to allow me access but my own itinerary for the year.
C# maybe the same? It also has an "unsafe" keyword.
Surely the billionaire in question does a ton of charity and philanthropy already, though, right? They all do. Is your point that they don't do enough, or that they shouldn't be allowed to spend 10M of what they don't give on a ridiculous dog house? Those are numerical arguments, so shouldn't you have to come to them with numbers to present?

Again, my point is that this is all subjective. You're simply saying that you don't value the ridiculous dog house and that they should spend that on something else, but they probably do spend on the thing you want already, or something very similar.

You don't get to tell people how to spend their money for the same reason they don't get to direct your own wasteful spending (which surely exists, right?). That's just standard western liberalism, you don't seriously disagree?

Look, I'm not saying the Iraq War was a good idea, but this "we shouldn't create a power vacuum" etc. type of reasoning is something I have a lot of problems with.

Whatever one can say about the Iraq War, Saddam really was a horrible dictator. While the worst of his crimes (Iran war, genocide of Kurds) had been quite a few years in the past, there are many stories even from the late 90s/early 00s which demonstrate it was still a hugely dictatorial and oppressive regime.

I don't think the Iraq War was a good move, for a long list of reasons, but that doesn't mean deposing Saddam was, in principle, a good thing by any reasonable standard.

So to go back to the top post: "America was wrong. Saddam was evil. They can both be true".

I'll go a step further and say: "The Iraq War was a bad idea. Deposing Saddam was a good idea. They can both be true".

In my first few semesters of studying Physics I found these commonly used integral identities (Stokes etc.) really odd and wondered why those look so similar. Of course EA/differential forms provide ways to generalize that. Then other QM topics have these absolutely counter-intuitive geometries, although GA seems to provide some consistent intuition. (E.g. why a full rotation is 720 degrees)

That said, I think vector algebra/calculus seems to be too much calculation focused to me. It's really hard to develop an intuition without excessive amounts of exercising calculations. (And books about GA still seem scarce)

If you screen a lot of people for a lot of things, you will find a lot of things, but not all the findings will mean something or require action. The initial ramp up of huge "unwarranted" screenings will create a lot of pain until we/AI figures out when something warrants attention.

When was the last time Google actually did something meaningful and impactful for the minorities it claims to support?

I suspect it's already hiring lots of them to meet diversity quotas. At the individual level, they're satisfied they can make just as much while being held to a lower bar, but this has horrible effects for everyone on the whole.
Yup. It's more likely... crappy engineering than political bias. Google has a lot of great engineers, but it seems when it comes to LLMs, they are further behind the 8 ball with respect to the minutiae and gotchas etc than people realize. They aren't doing well. It could be political bias, the place is a bit of an echo chamber.
>Saddam had no WMDs, nor intention to gather them - and we should have known that. We didn't do our due diligence

As the saying goes, "It's obvious now in hindsight that NFTs are a scam, but to be fair, it was also obvious at the start, and in the middle too"

The US and their allies did do their due diligence. They knew with near-certainty that he didn't have WMDs. All the 'evidence' was purely hypothetical (e.g. he could evade detection by building mobile labs inside semitruck trailers), hearsay from known-bad sources, or outright forged.

Saddam was bad, but no worse than the dictators that the US is neutral or friendly towards.

There is only a single mention of anything even vaguely like what you're reacting to, which is the specific claim of an "intentionally faulty calculation as part of the computational RoboDebt program" in Australia. To jump from this specific (and AFAIK correct) claim to a "conscious decision by "the man" to purposely put certain groups down using AI" seems like quite a leap.

The article largely deals with unfortunate side effects of a combination of feedback loops, implicit bias, economics, and lack of technical understanding in the broader community -- quite the opposite of any "conscious decision".
"There is already a clear pattern in which AI is used to centralize power and harm the marginalized."

Like this is what you get when your moderation strategy is classifying text into various categories and programmers use terms like "unsafe," "dangerous," and "footgun" to describe code.

If you can make a model that handles this case while also handling everything else then you'll be the bell of the ball among AI companies that are hiring.
I'm honestly still not clear on the distinction.

> Agreeing to use an algorithm is an agreement. In algorithmic collusion, a pricing algorithm combines competitor data and spits out the suggested “maximized” rent for a unit given local conditions.

This sounds exactly like what a compensation consultant does (collect competitor data, including data from other clients, and suggest a comp range)?
This article had nothing to do with AI (and that was the point). It’s largely a regurgitation of the same polemics you’ve read about “capitalism” a thousand times in the last decade with AI in the title just to get you to click.
5 disks every 7 year on average have a cost (today) of 80/90$ per disk of 1TB. A 2TB Google One plan is 10$/month. In 7 years will be 720$ vs 450$. Yes you need to factor in the rest of hardware as well (but you can also use it for other things). So self-hosting is probably a bit more expensive but not that much, and you keep your data with you.

In any case a NAS with 5 disks is probably overkill for family photos and videos, a single disk or at most a RAID0 with 2 disks over a RPi5 will be enough for many people and way way cheaper than a 2TB plan, but obviously you need to know how to and like to self-host

It's just as likely bad engineering as political bias. There is an assumption that they should be able to catch up to OpenAI and it's likely unreasonable. They haven't been working on building a real, direct "LLM product" until recently. OpenAI have been in the weeds on it for quite a while.
> Sure, of course you would make practical decisions about what kinds of tests to administer, and not proactively administer the tests that have significant negative side effects.

The harm is from investigating the screening test result and not the test itself.

> If it became a common thing for cancers to be detected, but the detection could reliably say “this is likely low impact, we should just keep an eye on it but not treat it”, this would be a lot less scary

This is already the case for some like prostate cancer and certain lymphomas.

> Cancer diagnoses are partly so scary right now because we’re often mostly catching cancers that have progressed and are causing symptoms

The most aggressive cancers are also the least likely ones to be diagnosed by screening due to growth rates, screening intervals and diagnostic test limitations.

Whenever I need a dismal reality check I remind myself that in our country, the people who for the most part can least afford to throw hard earned money into a fire have been habituated to do so gladly, willingly and regularly in a roughly weekly sacraficial ritual which has the effect of minting a new member of the class such as you mentioned above, from scratch, six to eight times a year.

These people, usually from backgrounds not exactly experienced in managing such sums, promptly (on the advice of lawyers) vanish from the face of the Earth for all intents and purposes, except for the generation of another pulse of trashy Instagram bougie bragging by various second and third order beneficiaries of this sudden transfer of wealth.

Being old is a fairly long part of life nowadays. Old is not the same as hopeless or almost dying.

My grandma had a melanoma at the age of 74, which is "old" by most human standards. It was located on her earlobe and an operation helped her get rid of it.

She then lived to be 90, most of that extra time either fully or partially self-sufficient. Only in the last months in her life she really deteriorated.

Basically, she gained almost a fifth of her life by that single operation performed when she was already old.
But repainting Saddam as a misunderstood author who had nothing but a desire to preserve well written Arabic is revisionist and wrong.

don't. no one is forcing them to recruit hundreds of DEI/ESG commissars. no one is forcing them to bend the knee to the current thing grifters.

the endgame of AI 'safety' and 'ethics' is killing the competition and consolidating the technology within the hands of a handful of megacorps. they do it all on purpose, and they are more than willing to accept minor inconveniences.

this is blatantly obvious to everyone, even the people who play dumb and pretend otherwise (e.g. 'journalists')

my favourite thing about tries is that they sit between lists of strings (cf extension/intension; tries are possibly exponentially better!) and finite automata (which can be useful if one wishes to share tails, and become necessary if one wishes to encode infinite sets in finite space)

(can one hit all of these CS concepts by examining only two data structures? or is this path via tries didactically minimal?)
> we expect AI to get there first because it's denser and can be replicated orders of magnitude more quickly and cheaply

There is no evidence that AI that's useful enough to help make research breakthroughs can be replicated orders of magnitude more quickly and cheaply. Whilst that's a true fact about software, AI is not just software -- it requires a lot of hardware. And currently it's far less efficient at using that hardware for general purpose problem solving than humans are.
Yes, the AVAudioSession.Category parameter defaults to “soloAmbient”, signifying the sound playback is non primary and nonmixable. This pauses all other audio, respects the mute switch, and pauses on lock.

For cases when the sound playback is central to the successful use of the application, the “playback” Category should be used. This allows audi to be generated even when the hardware mute is enabled and the screen is locked, and has options for mixing. This is set by apps like Spotify, Apple Music, and Safari when playing video content.

I do not know of a way in HTML to configure this, I think it’s up to Safari to interpret the context based on user intention. It is possible that if the app defaulted to mute and had a user feature that started the audio session, Safari might assign it the “playback” Category.

Uh sure, but that doesn’t effect the placement of new surveillance systems, which is the reason I mentioned it.
Also, I think you’re sort of saying that because you think catching them is a huge success, and that that offsets the harm, but it’s not gonna do a ton of good when nothing has been fixed about the underlying causes. At best the victims get catharsis, where if that money imprisoning the criminal were spent on something like providing economic opportunities or funding schools they’d likely benefit more and be more secure against future crime (not that its either or).
My theory is that this phrase was baked in during alignment training to ensure the model prints out any necessary warnings.

I would rather say that Ada allows you to remove the runtime check on ranges. This is the opposite of enforcing a range with a home-rolled check of the values, that's what I mean by "won't let you leave it out": without deliberate action, the range will either be proven by static analysis to be in-bounds, or that invariant will be checked at runtime.

Julia has a similar system for array bounds: by default, accessing an array is checked for range restriction, and an error is thrown if the value is out of range. Range checks inside functions (including the system `getindex` function) can be annotated with the @boundscheck macro, and user code which knows an index is in-range can use @inbounds to elide that check. If this is done wrong, Julia will segfault or corrupt memory. In C, if it isn't all done perfectly correctly, same thing: opt-in, not opt-out. Julia is more like Ada in that respect.
