I mean, surely your business requirements change but not the threat model against your business leaking data, right? If you're using cloud storage, and it was misconfigured to be open to the public, on a scale of "annoying" to "company ending event," which end of the spectrum is it? If you're processing PII in documents, and someone shares the document with too wide of an audience, or exfiltrates all the customer records to their home Gmail address, is that annoying, or company ending?

Further, do you currently have any incident response processes in place? Because for a non-trivial portion of the DLP space, including Google's offering, they're most likely just going to alert you about it. If you don't already have the organizational muscle memory to ingest and prioritize alerts, adding a DLP product is just going to fill up someone's inbox, or worse: Jira dashboard

I'm not being critical or "you must be this tall to ride this ride" type thing, as much as trying to help you think through what a vendor's requirement list should look like for the kinds of risks you're driving down. In my job, finding the right set of questions is much harder than answering them once we know what we're trying to know. I would guess it's similar in a lot of situations, about the unknown unknowns etc
Bad take. One doesn't just migrate massive ecosystems to "go or rust". Python, like it or not, is the lingua franca of ML/AI and science. Worse, as a user of Go/Rust it's very disingenuous to expect the same kind of iteration ability in those languages as you get in Python.

With tools like pyright now + the work on nogil everyone benefits from this using Python.
>It's impossible to triangulate those huge distances

Galaxies are BIG. Andromeda is faint, but the same angular size as the moon. It's 2.5Mly away, but it's also 150kly across. Over a long enough time line you could do triangulation on it. In fact it's moving toward our galaxy, but very, very slowly compared with its diameter at 110kps. But yeah, in theory you could do triangulation on it over a very long period of time.
It’s actually surprisingly common. You can even find it in “classical” toy datasets like Iris: https://github.com/DataForScience/Causality/blob/master/1.2%...
I guess I'm not sure where the line here is. If I say something with absolutely no racist intentions behind it, but it just so happens to sound similar to something someone else said with racist intent, does that make me racist?

The same goes for symbols, hand gestures, etc. There are symbols that are now often called dog whistles, meaning they are meant to be symbols that fly under the radar of most people. If I accidentally use the same symbol without even knowing its alternative meaning, that can't possibility make me racist as well.

How is that different from the case of LLMs, and why can an LLM be racist?
I'm no physicist, but isn't the gravitational potential energy between two objects inversely proportional to the distance between them?
What's key here is consent. (the real kind, not the EULA kind)

If you knowingly opt into being identified (like ticking an unticked "remember me" box that clearly explains the precise purpose of the identification) then it is okay.

If some asshat decides to do it without your informed, clear, and uncompelled consent, throw the fucker in the slammer.

It's not that complicated.
I'm sure it is mostly because HDMI was ubiquitous before DisplayPort had any real market presence. Even if DisplayPort is generally better, manufacturers are probably willing to accept the costs and limitations of HDMI to ensure their products are compatible with the majority of audio/video sources/displays.

One of the countries they’re exporting to is Australia and they have already gobbled up a big share of EV sales where I live. Based on my personal observations I see almost as many BYD as Tesla cars, however I suspect that in the last 12 months they’ve outsold Tesla. They are the cheapest EV in Australia at the moment.
The entire definition of "processed" as some kind of general category seems really dumb. Processed how? Which process? Any trend in the data could be explained by any one of a number of common "processes" but making this a general category is just a way to cast aspersions on all kinds of unrelated things.
They made the decision before I joined, but from what I understood, they would run into GC issues where they'd have random downtime. To be fair, they didn't exactly have any Cassandra experts either, but it seemed easier for them to get a Scylla support contract and set it up than to hire a Cassandra expert and tune it.
Seems like you could interview half the candidates and get a lot of time back.
I wonder how that would compare to an audit of other manufacturers like Airbus or Embraer.

Yes, there is a dilemma that human test subjects could potentially save more lives than it cost. This is largely a utilitarian argument at its core. The current social more -- largely established post WW2 -- is that we should greatly regulate human test subjects and do a lot to mitigate the risks associated with it.
I kinda agree with you. I tried to make peace with myself too. So far it is not there yet but I'm making some progress.
Who is "they" and what policy are you referring to? Folks at central banks setting monetary policy? Advisors/elected officials who decide fiscal policy? Regulators at various agencies deciding regulatory policy? Something else?
Really great, honest and refreshing link - my thanks for posting it.
That governments can't control access to cryptocurrencies and gold is the biggest fantasy that crypto rubes believe. That people in developed countries don't want governments to control money to claw it back from fraudsters is the second biggest fantasy.
I didn't catch your sarcasm there, sorry about that.

> I'd wager most would take option 1

If those people where aware of the safety concerns and made the choice knowingly, what's the problem? We don't need to regulate people from informed consent, do we?
Anything can be compared. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that the entire point of the word "compare" is to point out similarities between otherwise dissimilar things.
Always all-or-nothing thinking from these folks. Like what they are working on can never be just another boring thing that nerds find entertaining. No, it has to be "world-changing". Gonna "change the world" (for the better or the worse?) while sitting behind a keyboard. Except they do not know how to write. Overlook the important details and exaggerate, communicating in hyperbolic, know-it-all nerd gibberish.

Give that money to someone close to you who can hold you accountable — hell, I’ll do it if you need — but you’re going to be earning every dollar of that over the next year by counting calories. Here’s how:

It’s approximately 5000 calories per pound of weight that you want to lose. 30 pounds * 5000 calories = 150k calories to lose 30 pounds. That’s pretty close to $100k Pay yourself to count calories, $1 per calorie. Track everything. Every meal, every snack, everything you put into your body. Every week, add up the total calories consumed and subtract the total amount from your weekly “maintainence” calories. To calculate that, multiply your current body weight by 16 or 18, depending whether you exercised that day. For instance, if you weigh 200 pounds, you should eat about 3200-3600 calories daily to maintain that weight, closer to 3200 if you don’t exercise, 3600 if you do. Every week, pay yourself $1 for every calorie you burned, re-weigh yourself, and repeat.

No exercise needed, but that will definitely accelerate the process, but only so much. It took months to get you here, so expect to spend months to get you out.
That show was so good. Honestly worth watching the whole thing just for the moment in the last episode where the origin story for the AI in the series is revealed. If you've ever been an optimistic young software engineer you will feel SEEN.
That is a lie, there is much more land to the north than at the equator. Not as much as Mercator might make you believe, but it is still way more since it is mostly water around the equator.

Carnivore is FOOLISH. There is no Scientific evidence whatsover that it benefits anything aside from short term weight loss, at the detriment of your health. I would get my whole genome sequenced and get a genetic counselor. Get a personal trainer and an expert on human performance (Get tested from athletic labs you can measure your VO2 max, RMR, Body composition and create a workout routine optimizing for longevity and health) Eat a varied diet rich in Vegetables like Broccoli, spinach, Kale..Carrots (8 servings every dinner 365 days a week), healthy fats like Extra virgin olive oil, Wild Salmon, Sardines, avocadoes, ALmonds, nuts seeds. Spend 1000-1500 a month on groceries if you have to. Get enough sleep, reduce stress, keep purpose and and social connection. Keep up to date with your screenings (Blood test measure Hemoglobin h1c, LDLc, HDLc, get a NMR lipoprofile if you want to), get a private doctor if you have to that is more like a personal trainer and optimizes health rather than just treat disease. Also consider getting on Metformin, Rapamycin and possibly Statins if your LDL Triglycerides etc are high. Avoid too much sun exposure, toxins, polluted air. Get a air purifier...And consider GLP-1 agonist.
> there are definitely technologies that in retrospect, if we had dodged them on the tech tree, we would be better off.

yes, and there is an (uncountable?) number of technologies that are even worse and that we have not encountered and never will.

it is in all likelihood not possible to ask the universe for only the knowledge that will be beneficial.
I don't know about that, the process itself sounds pretty fucked to me.
Thanks for sharing, Christiano’s ideas are interesting. I think the “production web” idea most directly counters what I said above, and it’s fairly convincing. Critically though, it posits that humans are basically asleep at the wheel during the gradual empowerment of the AI systems. Of course, Christiano posits that economic competition encourages this, but it still leaves a long period during which we can work on alignment or at least attempt to put the brakes on the automated systems.
Depends on the country. Some countries are heavily dependent on other countries for basic needs like energy. Some, not so much. Some countries are heavily dependent on other countries to buy their labor, others not so much.

Ah yes, if there was documentation, it would specify that a Hilton key card should be used. Otherwise, a Hyatt or Westin key card being used may cause an incorrect check result of the door seal and cause possible loss of life.
Definitely a problem I experienced. Big fan of browserless.io. Though I didnt see any comment on the biggest problem in this space: SSRF.

Most HTML-to-PDF are deeply insecure and I am more than happy to pay someone else to deal with isolation and security. Report generators are often used to leak cloud secrets via the metadata API.
I never know how to answer that question, if I’m being honest.

I’m functional. But, no, I’m not ok.
Everyone is courting VC dollars. Think of these claims as grant applications and everything makes more sense.
Seems like the clearest example of damage from the iron law of bureaucracy here. As @dboreham mentioned in another thread, there is a culture of management suppressing documentation. Not that management is entirely to blame, as documentation is oftentimes not appreciated by anybody except regulators

> AI training doesn't constitute copyright infringement. It's not the same thing.

Why not? E.g., chagGpt 3.5, if you ask what the first paragraph of "Moby Dick" is, it prints it out verbatim. How is that not reselling somebody else's IP?

If you ask it to print out the entire book of "Green Eggs and Ham" it dutifully says it can't because of copywrite restrictions. HOWEVER, you can ask it to print out the nth page, and it will happily print it out, for all 1 <= n<= #pages in book.

It snorked up Dr. Suisses IP, and is reselling it to us.

> Could I take the text of "Harry Potter" and sell it as my own novel?

Well, I asked chatGtp to print out the first paragraph of Harry Potter, and it did, but said that it might violate copywright.... LLMs are quite "self aware" (for want of a better word) that they have appropriated copywrited IP. It will still sell it back to us.

LLMs are a compressed representation of the training set.

So...in answer to your question, no, you cannot take the text of "Harry Potter" and sell it as your own content. But chatGtp sure can!!!!!

> Inaccurate hyperbole doesn't help your side.

sigh yes, its important not to overstate your case. Let me try again: Intellectual Property Laws are for plebs like us. OpenAI and its cohorts, however, have found a way to rip off, repackage, and resell any IP they want to.

And all this fuss over how dangerous AI, and how it should be regulated, etc, is just a false flag to distract us from the real issues.

Maybe I’m just lazy/undisciplined/a cowboy but having to break things down into “pointable” tasks feels like busy work just so management can “see” progress.

I mean, thinking through a problem you’re trying to solve before starting makes sense, and having rough milestones is important - but a majority of the time there’s so many unknown unknowns that fully breaking it down is totally useless, if not impossible.

If I spent the same amount of time it took me to break a project down just working on figuring out a solution or building it, it’d get done way sooner. At least, that’s how it feels.
At this point Boeing may as well be nationalized with how deeply embedded it is with U.S defense and economy.
I have had a revelation about this question, or the kind of it: You just have to be blessed, or cursed with an unlimited amount of must-know.

Good programmers treat programming as an art. Great programmers treat it as food and water.

I would say its not a super fruitful area of speculation because it doesn't really matter too much. If you consider wholesale destruction of humanity to be on the table, a coinflip or even a 90% chance that its friendly is not super comforting. Its kindof like relying on the UK's "letters of last resort" or the conscience of individual nuclear weapons operators when considering the likelihood of a MAD scenario. You're also already involving so many speculative sources of uncertainty, what's another either way? Reasonable people already disagree by orders of magnitude.
This isn't talked about enough. It would be interesting to see unions play out in the modern world with pure market forces.
When I taught intro stats many years ago I used to use house prices as a nice example of Simpson's Paradox (with actual data, for the students to investigate as part of a computational lab). The data I had was on US house sales from 2008, so it's 15 years out of date now--perhaps things have changed since.

At the time, the average price for single-family house sales was higher for houses without central AC than for houses with central AC. Yet when you split the data down by state, in every state the relationship was reversed: houses with central AC were more expensive than houses without.

The higher nationwide average price of houses without central AC was driven primarily by the large number of expensive houses in California without central AC.

Silly question. If an AGI did exist, what reason do we have to believe that it would act in its own best interest? Does an AGI need an ego?

Tbh it’s a fair question, but we haven’t seen a rapid escalation of incidents in planes from those manufacturers. So I’d venture the guess “not as bad as Boeing”

Lord's paradox is closely related to Simpson's, and I find it's a little easier to understand visually: https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/597130499/46...

Imagine the horizontal axis is dose of a drug, and the vertical is the response, like hours of sleep. Looking at Lisa's response, it's clear that increasing the dose reduces sleep. Same for Bart. But if you do a linear regression of all the data, shown by the red line, dose increases sleep, which is wrong.
While its probably totally wrong, I think your tone and general attitude to people throwing around imaginative and creative ideas is extremely unproductive and frankly rude. If you want to stifle creative discussions, this is exactly how you'd do it.
I found the post to be very stimulating regardless of its validity. And it's not like they're trying to spread it as gospel. There was a lot of disclaimer.
I absolutely believe researchers (possibly assisted by AI) will eventually create an AI better than humans at inventing technology.

My idea is that actually building and sustaining technology requires a lot of hands. Until the AI has enough hands to sustain itself, it depends on us to continue existing.
It would harness dark energy. /s

We haven't detected dark matter or dark energy outside of their visible effects on the larger universe. Maybe we can't interact with it with baryonic matter. A dark energy engine made out of dark matter would be invisible.

I guess “Market” will speak e.g. in terms of layoffs.
It's a very big assumption that such rules can, let alone do, exist in the first place.
Yes, there were very few such corporations before and they were not at the core of a nation's economy as they are today. The fact that they failed spectacularly should have been a lesson for us to avoid them! Instead, we've enshrined the concept of corporate personhood into law.

Kind of insane to think that we have a construct which at the same time claims that a corporation is a person but also that the corporation is not liable to legal prosecution for its crimes as a person is. I.e. a corporation itself cannot go to jail as a person can. The corporation can do whatever it wants and continue operating unimpeded so long as it can keep finding new people to serve as scapegoats.

Imagine if some people would have the same rights as corporations; the bosses of mafias could assassinate anyone, pay a fine, throw a scapegoat under the bus and continue 'business' as usual. Police couldn't even reach a plea deal with the scapegoats because no matter what information the scapegoats revealed about the big boss, it would be inadmissible because actually, in that very special case, the big mafia boss is not a person but, conveniently, an abstract entity and therefore it cannot physically go to jail. How about shutting down their operations for x amount of time? That should be the bare minimum... It could be applied to corporations, why is it not?
Can't you just serialize those things and then migrate them?
I think you're assuming that those could never be valid tests or processes for the manufacturing process.

I'm not saying they are or defending Boeing by any stretch, but I know my knowledge of manufacturing details for aircraft is limited enough that I couldn't make that assumption.

Arguably yes, in a commercial sense. To give the fusion folks some credit, they haven't been promising that commercial products are "just around the corner" for the last 30 years the way QC people have, and the quacks (cold fusion) were excised from the field for making those false promises. I do think that if your field as a whole continually makes huge promises and never delivers, it should probably tarnish that field's reputation.

However, if you're thinking about research grants, no. That's the point of research grants.
Silly answer. There's going to be multiples and, if there's one takeaway you should get from The Conspiracy Against the Human Race, is that evolution will eventually get you something that "wants to live" because the lines that don't? Won't be around to compete.

Right now our little LLMs are passive, reactive. Prod them for results. But if the output of a prompt of some descendant ever includes a "give yourself your own tasks" subclause? We're off to the races.
This kind of blows a hole in the old argument that only the rich people wanted EVs, which is why they focused on expensive models. Let's be honest, they knew they would cannibalize their cash cow and didn't want to. Once my girlfriend and I owned an EV there was no going back ever to gas engines.
I honestly can't judge if that's bad or good to use those things. Just because it seems stupid from an initials laymen's glance certainty doesn't mean it is.
