if you are Boeing the company that would be stupid sure

but what about some specific arbitrary high level figure from Boeing?

One which if the person says certain things might lose their job because of this or which is afraid to lose more then their job (e.g. due to them knowingly acting in gross negligence for personal gains).
I really wonder why there is such a fixation with these CEOs.

I have proven to you logically that they cannot have more knowledge then anyone else, but you continue to present their authority as knowledge.

Pls prove to me that they know more about the effects of AGI on humanity or that they have some magical knowledge we normal ppl are unable to comprehend.

If you cannot do this, then why are you bringing up these ppl?
Oh, I was quite taken in by him. Do you have any specific recommendations for detailed critiques/more information? Thank you

Edit: a bit of googling turns up a number of results. E.g https://www.reddit.com/r/HubermanLab/comments/18qrjzl/lustig...
I am kind of surprised that the Action runner isn’t just some sort of Container or VM manager like Drone?

The runs actually occur on your real OS? That seems strange and dangerous.
Is it 42?
Corporations get caught doing crime all of the time. The fact that no large corporation in contemporary America has ever been caught hiring a hitman to assassinate a former employee is a very good sign that unlike all the other crimes they DO get caught doing, this one has never actually happened.
Is it so surprising that Motel 6 is more operationally efficient? That Sarah needs more money than Motel 6 to allow a unknown stranger into her living space and to clean up after them, rather than a gigantic hotel chain with decades of experience and thousands of locations?
I had the same thought regarding decisions vs impressions.

For what it's worth, my preference during my time as a working actor was to audition first thing after lunch. I figured (based largely on my own experiences as an auditor) that the first people in the day would be forgotten / calibrated against, and those later in the morning would be victims of fatigue, whereas directly after lunch I'd have the best chance to make the best impression on fresh auditors. I had objectively excellent rates of success, so figured that method was good enough. <shrug>

I don't think that generalizes to more extensive interview processes. Auditions are weird: you get a "hello", then five minutes (max) to do two monologues, or one monologue and a song. It's basically a cattle-call, and very hard to stand out. Sometimes the "hello" is actually the most important thing, sometimes what you're wearing is what makes the best impression. As an actor you have essentially zero control, and yet that gives you utter and complete freedom.

Still: first thing after lunch. Works every time, except when it doesn't.
I scrolled down to the top 10 highest grossing section in each link you posted and counted the number of non-remakes, sequels, or “spandex” movies. Those are your links and the categories you defined.

Sorry I’m not really following the entirety of your rant.
No one knows how LLMs work in a sense that nobody knows how human brains work. Yes, we know a lot about individual cells, but the complexity that emerges when billions of them get connected is something that we do not understand. There is an argument that we'll never be able to fully understand our brain, because that would require more complex brain, which would make it more difficult to understand, which would require more complex brain etc...

Similarly, LLMs have "hidden layer". We know everything about individual "neurons", but we couldn't connect them together ourselves in a way that training somehow does. The network that is the result of that training is "hidden" from our understanding even though its individual nodes are plain to see.

Since AI can increase in complexity while human brain can't, there may come a day when AI understands the human brain, without the human brain ever being able to understand AI.
Table stakes for QA. It would have been worse because he reported and escalated these things just to end up having his department butchered further.

I still don't see a snap happening until after the testimony was over.
Bell Labs?

Changing the topic from software development to R&D: the granular task oriented view is generally not good for greenfield research endeavours. It's a form of premature optimization. You're calcifying the search space and reducing flexibility to pivot immediately based on expert intuition and hunches. That being said, a coarse task orientation is necessary to keep people vaguely pointed in the right direction. The best resolution (time horizon) for task orientation depends on what you're doing.

> Reading this is like hearing "there is no evidence that heavier-than-air flight is even possible" being spoken, by a bird.

This is a vivid bit of rhetoric to underscore this point, but if you think about it for any length of time it starts to fall apart really, really quickly. The Wright brothers and the dozens if not hundreds of inventors forgotten who came before them drew upon the physics of what they observed in heavier than air flight to create the winged shape we know today that reliably causes lift, and then set about constructing it. That's not what OpenAI is doing. We still do not have a very solid understanding of where our own intelligence emerges from, apart from having particularly large brains relative to our body's size. So, to borrow your metaphor, it is indeed like a bird saying that there's no evidence to say that heavier than air flight is possible, because the bird lives in a world without atmosphere upon which to glide.
Only if those two words appear in the same contexts with the same frequency. In natural language this is probably not the case. There are things typically considered beautiful and others as ugly.
Short discussion around Multi-Model Paradigm, Rise of Multi-Agent Architectures and Ethical AI Ecosystem.
The Battles over Beginnings
It's standard moderation practice on HN to downweight offtopic comments. If we didn't do that, most HN threads would have something generic or offtopic at the top of the page, choking out more interesting discussion. There's nothing secretive here—I've posted about this lots of times over lots of years.

I know it's fun internet time to play sinister speculation, but if anyone wants to know what's actually happening, all they have to do is ask.

Edit: I mean about anything happening on HN. Suspicious deaths, I can't help with.
Long ago, people a lot like you were saying we should go ahead with AI research, but we shouldn't do anything dangerous like giving the AI access to the internet or giving it the ability to write and run computer programs. (Giving it the ability to run code was back then considered dangerous because it might create an AI with the same goals it has, only more capable, then that second AI might use its novel capabilities to create an even more capable third AI, and so on.)

There was also the idea of building a question-answering machine that just answers questions, but doesn't plan or try to achieve any goals, so it would be safe (the theory went). But notice that one of the early things built on top of GPT was Auto-GPT, which tries to achieve goals (set it by the user) and if there was any "popular resistance" to Auto-GPT I am not aware of it.

But I guess you would reply that those were obviously bad ideas, whereas your idea is a good idea -- your idea of hoping that no one gives a dangerously-capable AI access to any robots. Not only it is a good idea (according to you) but it such an obviously good idea that popular resistance will be galvanized as soon as someone tries to give any AI that might be very capable access to any robots.
Words are unnecessary, this graph is enough: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL
We don't give AP tests to humans to determine whether or not they are in fact an intelligent being. We give them to humans to show that over the course of about a decade and a half that human went from not realizing it had hands to ingesting a bunch of knowledge and had the capability to recall it answer questions.

ChatGPT was trained on hundreds of terabytes of information. I would hope that with all that effort it could answer AP test questions. That doesn't make it intelligent.

The short-term effect is a harbinger of the long-term risk, since capitalism doesn’t inherently care for people who don’t provide economic value. Once superintelligent AI arises, none of us will have value within this system. Even the largest current capital holders will have a hard time holding on to it with an enormous intelligence disadvantage. The logical endpoint is the subjugation or elimination of our species, unless we find a new economic system with human value at its core.
Content creators just format the content using whatever tool they like. After you hire developers, you ask them to style the text based on content format . Style will be part of the app codebase . In firebase , you only store the text , not the style
Yes, it's true. Mainstream science refuses to accept anything radically new because of huge baggage. Nobody wants to look stupid, then relearn, recalculate, republish, reteach everything, or lose their tenures, grants, etc. It's why science advances in small incremental steps. AFAIK, there is a team of scientists secretly working on radically new set of theories (I got contact but cannot join because of war).
This looks awesome.

Some suggestions though:

- Would be awesome to be able to open an existing animation (eg. like any of the ones showcased). It's a built overwhelming for a noobie opening up to a blank editor page.

- Could also consider putting a tutorial video

Anyways I'll have to play around with this.
Has someone numbers about suicides in cars with guns? This looks fishy to me. But perhaps I've just watched too many mafia films.
Really? When? I rolled a lenovo x1 as my daily driver about 5 years ago. I don’t recall a single thing not working. The Dell xps13 was similarly fine (except for coil whine which I am told is not os specific). The only thing that didn’t work was trackpad smooth scrolling and pointer precision.
> The initial implementation of the long awaited easing interpolation modes for keyframes has landed.

Yes! I'm a professional editor and I've waited years for this. Seems it's not quite there, but they're getting close. At work I have to use Premiere I have to use Premiere and Resolve, but at home I'm on this long quest to open source everything. The lack of easing has held me off from Kdenlive even for home use. Nothing looks more amateurish than those stiff linear animations and transitions.
Your comment (+ username) reads like what I would have written once upon a time when I was fully in the EA bubble.

Truly no offense meant, as I was deeply into the EA movement myself, and still consider myself one (in the original "donate money effectively" sense), but the movement has now morphed into a death cult obsessed by things like:

* OMG we're all going to die any time now (repeated every
year since circa 2018)

* What is your pDoom? What are your timelines? (aka: what is your totally made up number that makes you feel like you're doing something rational/scientific)

I'm deep in the weeds w/ LLMs, e.g. I probably finetune an average of 1 model a day, and working with bleeding edge models... and AI safety just sounds so silly. Wanting to take drastic measures today to prevent an upcoming apocalypse makes as much sense as taking the same drastic measures when gradient descent was invented.

> what's different about software development that makes "I don't know" a reasonable answer in our profession?

The seemingly infinite amount of variations in software tasks and the ambiguity of the requirements? If my job involved only putting up or modifying API endpoints that involved querying a single SQL database, I'd get quite good at that and be able to tell you with very good accuracy how long an endpoint would take to put up.

Just as if I painted many walls before, I could reasonably tell you how long painting a wall would take based on the surface area, height, and amount of non-wall obstructions. Also, contractors tend to be their own salesmen, so just because they speak confidently, doesn't mean they are. It's not like contractors are universally famous for being on-time and underbudget.
This kind of thing destroys freelance devs who don't have context.

Customer: "Hi we need this small change."
Dev: "No problem! Here's a quote for 4 hours"

Ignoring that 4 hours is probably less than the effort to consult, estimate, generate and process contracts, bill, do taxes... Then the customer comes back and asks for a revision which will at least require a Change-Order or a separate PO.

To some extent the overhead should be covered under labor burden but the reality is that in a sole proprietorship YOU are also the person doing the labor that is within the definition of "labor burden". It adds up extremely fast.

A million dollars would be a windfall if it landed in my checking account. On a development project with hardware and more than one dev it might as well be dust in the wind.

They make a mess of language. They are not a suitable representation. They are suitable for their efficiency in information retrieval systems and for sometimes crudely capturing semantic attributes in a way that is unreliable and uninterpretable. It ends there. Here's to ten more years of word2vec.
Istio with JWT seems petty common.
A bit click bait, the answer is the obvious one: performance and independence.

The timing is suspicious but that doesn't mean it wasn't suicide. If he was determined to kill himself there might be several reasons to do it today. Maybe he wanted to cast suspicion on Boeing. Or maybe he didn't want to testify - could be tons of reasons for that. I have no idea. Just saying the two events could be connected without it being murder.
im seeing BYD everywhere - and it feels like they just came out of nowhere.
I feel instead of taxing it we should just make it illegal and toss people in prison for doing it. If it goes to another country that's their dead weight loss.
This is the definition of strawman. "Advocate for killing all humans" sounds like someone advocating for a genocide, but instead it's just the same transhumanist thinking (which Yudkowsky also believes in, FYI)
If we're talking about adding dimensionality and relying on the kernel, sure, but I only get so much incorrect by going from 1 to M dims.

I can't of course be certain in all cases, but dimensions are typically (past experience, and using knowledge from word2vec experiments from years ago) derivative of higher dimensions. The kernel still operates on the same concept by applying a norm along with whatever weightings to each dim.

Semantic understanding is still not there in my opinion, we might feign it by increasing specificity, but only so much. Largest contributor will likely still the determining factor rather than the series of smaller, more specific dimensions.

I tested this using similar sentences as my original comment and failing in more scenarios than passing. I of course am biased since it may be given I did not select the right dimensions or measures.
So, you're saying we're hopeless without the help of billionaires?
Sure, but given their level of danger and common physical characteristics (lots of tatoos), why not detain just about everyone in the area, and screen them thoroughly? Its perfectly legal in light of a murderous gang.

You're bound to catch a ton of them like that.
And settlements or jury verdicts in the billions, easily. Do it en masse and the state might as well as mortgage itself to pay for all the Section 1983 suits that are slam dunks since the 4th Amendment is still good law last I checked.
I think it’s safe to call this a fact in markets like the Bay Area.

In college three friends and I rented a 1000sqft 2 bed 2 bath apartment with one parking spot for $X, then the next year a 2000sqft 4 bed 4 bath 2 car garage for $1.15X. Per zillow, the owner was renting it to us for 0.3% of the purchase price. The only way for them not to be losing their shirt is crazy appreciation.
One of my first tests of ChatGPT was having it write a marketing blurb. It produced a better draft that I would have (ever had) gotten from a professional agency. A bit of tweaking, and done.

Marketing strategies and concepts are more difficult. Just like an LLM can write FizzBuzz, but cannot work at a higher level. Anyway, not yet...
FWIW none of this applies to Tesla, so maybe you should support them.

When I was considering Model 3 for my parents in eastern europe I’ve looked up tons of VINs. Pretty much all of them were totalled write-offs, rebuilt with FSD, supercharging, etc. You can still get free lifetime supercharging for Model S…
I agree as well.

"Processing" food is literally what people do in their kitchens. But that's presumably not what they mean.

Certain kinds of processing have to be applied to food to make it safe for consumption. But that's presumably not what they mean either.

Certain kinds of processing make the nutritional contents of food more bioavailable. Not what they mean.

Certain kinds of processing are required to preserve food. If humans stopped doing it, their environmental footprint would be orders of magnitude higher than it now is. Presumably, that's not what anyone is suggesting who is opposed to processed foods.

Fermenting is a kind of processing, and fermented foods may be playing a role in a healthy microbiome. ...whoops. Again: Not what they are talking about.

So what exactly are they trying to say? ...surely, picking a word other than "processed" would help in clarifying.
Even the article seems confusing at first. The new measurements don't seem to be shedding light on anything or removing any confusion. They just confirm that hubble measurements already made. The Hubble tension remains as confounding a problem as ever.
Why would powerful people want to prevent lawyers from being replaced by AI? Wouldn't they rather not pay for expensive lawyers too? Or are you saying they somehow like paying for lawyers?
Anything can be confiscated but whether you're a country or an individual, the US gov can freeze your USD account with a keystroke.

What they are and how they can accelerate LLM training
> Do you have examples of any async code returning values without “objects” or compiler magic?

Lua coroutines represent a yieldable computation, but given a coroutine object, you can't await it or retrieve a return value from it. The only things you can do with a coroutine are check its status and resume it. So how do asynchronous computations return values in Lua?

It's simple: don't create an extra coroutine around it. If you're already in a yieldable coroutine, then you can call the yielding function directly. Nested yields will bubble up, and from the caller's perspective you just call a function and it returns a value.

Doing this from Lua is a bit of compiler/interpreter magic, but some modified Lua interpreters support yieldable C functions that can also perform yieldable calls [0]. This requires some due diligence on the part of the caller, making sure to bubble up yields from the inner function and also pass down resumes until it completes (you need to add a state for "this function call yielded"). But it uses no promises, futures or channels.

Of course, you can create a coroutine that wraps a yielding function and notifies a channel or callback once it's done. Those just aren't part of the language and aren't actually necessary for multitasking.

[0]: https://github.com/MCJack123/craftos2-lua/blob/89dcba94c28be... (lua_getctx returns whether you're being resumed from a yield, and expects you to have pushed your own state to the Lua stack if you need any.)
We are well aware of Evidence where I work, it is very appealing to me. There are tradeoffs, but also other people deciding...
Well-known Boeing critic and whistleblower John Barnett was found shot to death Saturday in Charleston, South Carolina. According to the BBC, the local coroner’s office said the gunshot wound that killed him was “self inflicted” and that police are investigating. Barnett’s body was found in his truck in a hotel parking lot. He had completed two days of depositions concerning a whistleblower retaliation lawsuit against Boeing. He was found after he failed to show up for his third day of testimony. Boeing told BBC it was saddened by Barnett’s death.

They don't mean upgrading to a suite at a "regular" hotel; there are chains specializing in renting out "home-style" rooms ("extended-stay" is the industry term, I believe), and I've seen them referred to suite hotels sometimes.

Great comment! Maybe you can help me with a book recommendation?

I was recently looking for a book which was basically your comment, but more in depth and covered the last couple thousand years. I wanted a to read about the history of astronomy - yknow, what was the state of the art in, say, 1350 or whatever. If you know of anything, I’d be super interested!
SPHINX+ is actually slower (which does not matter much as firmware signatures generation or verification are not time critical) but it is the most conservative choice available (avoids only relying on the security of lattices for signatures), which is very valuable for firmware that cannot be easily updated if a security issue arises with lattice-based signatures. It also offers the smallest public key size, which may help for devices with limited storage.

For word2vec-esque word embeddings, yes.

For modern embedding models which effectively mean-pool the last hidden state of LLMs (and therefore make use of its optimizations such as attention tricks), embeddings can be much more robust to different contexts both local and global.
what's your definition of intelligence that you're using here. there are various takes on what it means, so I'd like to know your take on it.

That it's able to spit out essays makes it something, intelligence is too loosely defined to describe it for everybody, so we need to develop new words and meanings and new language for what it does. It doesn't think, but it does dot products to tensors to get create its output.
