Tangential, but it feels like most game AI fails to model the “mind” of the agent: what do they know? How do they learn things? It always feels like they have at most a subset of hard-fact world knowledge, but never their own (mis)conceptions.

Of course, this is still modeled in the first order for things like enemies not seeing you in stealth games, or police not alerted if nobody sees the crime.

In reality, each agent models the world and makes judgments based on what they’ve seen first hand, what they’ve heard, and deductive reasoning.

It would be interesting if game AI was modeled on first principles from incentives, direct observations, and (with human agents) what they’ve been told multiplied by how much they trust the person. Doesn’t require general purpose reasoning, and could still rely on a set of simplistic game world events and actions. The hope is this would lead to varied and unique experiences through emergent behavior, eg:

- An enemy that observed you use an extremely powerful weapon would be more cautious of you, but not others.

- Hurting an npc without being detected can cause them to accuse and retaliate against an innocent person nearby.

- Lying to someone in dialog about an event they observed directly would be contradictory and thus they would not trust you.

- Hurting neutral NPCs without killing them can lead to negative rumors spreading topologically, based on your physical appearance

- … so if you change your appearance you can be anonymous, but not towards the direct observer, which will recognize your face.

Anyway, rambling. But this type of theory of mind stuff seems reachable and kind of fun. At least the first order modeling (for npcs who don’t use language), would be a lot simpler. Once you get into “they don’t know that I know Q, so I can lie about X to achieve Y”, things can get quite complicated.

And then you get hit by Universal Scaling Law (or Universal Law of Computational Scalability) - see the section on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_J._Gunther

You can't throw more compute at a problem ad infinitum.
There's also the context to consider: if I'm scanning someone elses' code in an unfamiliar subsystem, there's a high chance there is a bug or something time critical. Not the time for extra annoyance and work.

Finding code that suddenly zigs where all the rest of the systems code zags takes extra mental overhead. It's annoying, and misleading. All too frequently bugs are coupled to such style violations, adding extra frustration around such misleading code.
You are missing the context of age demographics. For example: in the United States of America about 63% of the population is over the age of 32 which represents roughly 200 million Americans which graduated Highschool before the year 2010.
Moisture-swing direct air capture of CO2 is an old idea, going back to the CO2 capture pioneer Lackner in 1999. Here's a patent of his from 2012:

> I believe it is because 3D glasses has very limited productivity application.

AR has tremendous productivity applications if the device is small and wearable enough. Imagine being up in your attic running cables and seeing a projection of the floor plan of your house so you can see where the different rooms in your house are. Or driving a car, except all the blind spots disappear and are filled in with vehicle-mounted camera feeds, with unobtrusive overlays for navigation or to highlight potential safety hazards. Imagine assembling some IKEA furniture except instead of puzzling through the instruction book, you have an app that can recognize all the pieces using machine vision and simply show you what to do. Imagine never forgetting a name or a face, because every time you see even a distant acquaintance, your glasses can run facial recognition and make their name pop up by their face in real life. Imagine noticing a weird rash on your arm, but as soon as you look at it, your glasses immediately diagnose it as a potential MRSA infection and pop up a notification allowing you to call an urgent care clinic that’s open right this second.
Broadly auto-picking the correct language and currency? Populating from a regional feed for news or alerts?
That's an interesting idea. Might be a good ability for someone to add. :)

Good error-wrapping discipline works better than stack traces, because not only do you have a trace of the calling context, you also have the values that caused the problem. Granted, a stack trace "always works", but it will never have the values of important variables.

You gave example of nvidia and not ubuntu itself. What's more, you are referring to devel(opment) version, i.e. "1.0-devel-ubuntu20.04" which seems like a nightly so it's expected to be overriden (akin to "-SNAPSHOT" for java/maven)?

Besides, if you really need utmost stability you can use image digest instead of tag and you will always get exactly the same image...
Besides homework, all of these things seem to be professional uses of GPT-4. If they’re trying to bake this into a consumer platform like Siri, I don’t see why they’d need to focus on those use cases. Besides MDM/Enterprise, which will be curious if they try and attack this market or just their army of consumer devices.

> Pornography has well researched addictive and other negative properties

There's a lot of misleading or outright misinformation about the effects of pornography. For instance one study claiming an incredibly high rate of abuse depicted in pornography categorized ejaculating on someone's face as abuse. It's also very hard to research because it's difficult to establish controls: almost all men watch pornography.
I think I'll pass on this and will do what's reasonable. Nothing wrong with doing something to benefit yourself. I even wrote software for a non-software company I worked at a couple decades ago, cause it meant sitting most of the day reading programming books instead of sweaty running between shelves without a clue (storage job). Buying a PC as an infra unit is a bit different and may have implications, but depends on a situation.
That's why its helpful to have an czar or authority to consider opinions and state a preference. To converge the community and stop wasting time on these debates.

Also, nobody has to follow the guidance of 'style czar'. Each team and community could deviate in whatever ways. "We follow the standards expect for these changes about semi-colons." I think just having a standard can helpful when having your own style as well, because you can contrast it against something concrete.

This is a very important point. Libraries should fight to legislate analytics on exact usage when checking out an ebook, especially if they are paying for a set number of usages.
This is classic rent seeking behavior. The more insidious aspect is that this is foisted upon a captive audience of kids/young adults that agreed to tens of thousands in non-dischargable debt when they turned 18.
Also, the iPhone cost $500 at launch. At the time, that was expensive for a smartphone, but even adjusting for inflation it was nowhere near Vision Pro-level expensive. (It would also be a relatively cheap phone in today's market.)

If anything, the Vision Pro feels to me more like the original Mac: an impressive technological leap forward, with lots of interesting ideas about computing and UI paradigms, but also prohibitively expensive, and still underpowered relative to its lofty ambitions.

Notably, the Mac didn't really end well for Apple. Eventually we got the iMac and OS X, but in between was a decade in which Apple nearly went bankrupt. And I'm not really convinced the Vision Pro is as innovative or compelling as the original Mac was to begin with.

Not trying to pry, but is english your second language?

I assume not, but I have the exact same thing with articles (“the” and “a”/“an”) that you have, except for me it was clearly caused by english being my second (my native language doesn’t have the concept of articles like that at all). And I got much better at it over time too, but it still slips through all the time for me. Less so in writing (even though it still happens not that rarely), but moreso in speech.
The paper explores different design choices for various parts of the model and draws conclusions about the relative importance of optimizing each area (image encoder very important, vision-language connector less so).

The actual set of models produced (up to 30B parameters) seems secondary to the intent of the paper, and is more validation of the best design choices in each area.
Translucent terminals are a very commonly used feature? Just saying, I've used them on Linux and Mac for 30 years
MM1 is a research paper, not a release of a competing product. I'm sure the paper is interesting and am looking forward to reading an analysis of it by someone who understands these things better than I do, but this is not that analysis, it's an extremely low-effort puff piece that is more interested in getting attention than in accurately describing a research paper.

I don't usually say this, but TFA frankly feels like it was written by AI:

> The release of MM1 by Apple contributes significantly to the artificial intelligence domain, offering a detailed roadmap for the development of future MLLMs. By sharing the insights and design principles gleaned from MM1, Apple not only challenges the current capabilities of models like ChatGPT but also invites the broader AI community to build upon their findings, potentially leading to more sophisticated and capable AI systems.
Why are technologists trying so hard to make themselves redundant?

Cost would be negligible compared to a teacher's salary.

(1 teacher / 20 students) * ($50k / teacher-yr) = $2500 per student per year to fund teacher salary.

Compare that to $40/yr domain+hosting, which maybe 10% of students will use. $4/student-yr will not be the diffence between paying teachers probably or not.
That is an interesting read. I had no idea!
I definitely had a .co.nr domain before a .tk. I think I also remember (I was likely 13, so its been a while) that they had an "English" test question on the sign up form that read something like "A Britney Spears is a:" and one of the options was "Hamburger".

Looking back this could have been to slow robots down, but I distinctly remember one if the terms being you speak and host English content.

Another service I used a lot was " dominosfree" which had a bunch of .gs domains that looked like CC-tlds. I used .ca.gs a lot.
When you consider how early we are in the evolution of software and the role it can play in our professional and personal lives, this seems like one of the easier problems to solve though.
The picture shows temperatures up to 316K, which is 42 C.... so likely it's a typo for 46 (or 45?) centigrade.

Apple should add a non-maskable, unforgeable out of band signal, like the green and orange “lights” that indicate the camera or microphone are on. This logic goes back to the Rainbow books.

Ideally it would be an LED separated from the screen that only the kernel could access.
"A smooth surface which feels lumpy" seems intuitively unlikely but stranger things have happened.

I wonder how well it would work if you did something similar to Force Touch, but instead of one uniform trackpad it were separated into a matrix of small dots.

I run a modest fleet of mostly-offline data collection devices that rely on GPS; we pay a lot of attention to how long it takes before they can sync. With a good sky view, the GPS chip often has a 3D position lock before Linux has finished booting.

What you're seeing is the effect of AGPS and the interaction with the phone's aggressive power management. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GNSS

It's not really a limitation of GPS, it's about using the external service to let you minimize the time your GPS receiver is active. You can get a great fix without AGPS, but you can't both keep the GPS off 99.9% of the time _and_ get a fast, great position fix.
There is definitely value in people popularizing scientific consensus even when they aren't experts in the field, Bill Nye talking about climate change is useful even though he's not an expert. But when you aren't an expert and aren't trying to convey the consensus of people who are experts, you're Just Some Person With An Opinion.
This is interesting, but not much detail on where/why this is actually used. Is this mainly because Verse is a scripting language for a networked game, so there needs to be some ability to gracefully handle game state inconsistencies?
In TCL’s case it’s a fun play on Tcl/Tk, which is how it is often referred to when including its famous GUI toolkit.
Trick is a perfectly reasonable word to use in that context. There was never any requirement for "trick" to only be about humans.
The fact that instinct's heuristics are not well-adapted to every situation does not change the above point that the various algorithms which nudge may (do) also detract from one's freedom.

And there is an important difference between the two: instinct has been trained over eons to select for what is good for the organism (heuristic trade-offs notwithstanding). The algorithms have not, and often nudge toward choices that someone else would prefer we make.
It highlights the issue that the suggested solution is a theoretic or academic solution which we theorize might work out some day, but is not currently a realistic solution for the need to provide food for artists to eat so that they could remain alive.

That's what I said was one of the possibilities. But it is not the only possibility, and it will become less likely over time. Eventually the lift operators and steam engine dudes get deprecated. More trains are running, but the steam engine dudes got fired because they're not needed. Maybe you'll be the first non-customer facing profession in history that doesn't go through deprecation in the face of automation. Good luck with that bet.
> very obviously

And yet people buy v1. It really depends on how much your time is worth. I bought v1 and I expect to sell it for $1000 or so when v2 comes out. $3000 to use this product for 12-18 months is totally worth it to me.

So, not “obvious”. At least to people with different priorities.

This reads like that awful take a few years ago that libraries need to be replaced by private bookstores. Like the author of that, I don’t think you are familiar with the role that libraries play in their local community and probably should not prescribing a technocratic solution on an institution that you fundamentally do not understand.
I don't want to see the title changed to a clickbait title like a lowbrow gossip magazine would give it.

>There's no real need to keep up because the shared experience has fragmented and gone. MrBeast supposedly has hundreds of millions of viewers but I've never met one. It just doesn't come up in the real world.

Article briefly touches on that and it can honestly be its own topic:

>It’s unlikely we’ll see MrBeast dethroned anytime soon, and even less likely that the incoming class of creators will reach his same viewership. Monoculture of that sort is a vanishing rarity, nor a marker of quality

An inevitable part of unshackling from cable television, but an unforunate one from the mindset of a collective social mindscape. You make a spongebob or Friends or Family GUy meme and you'll probably resonate with an entire generation. Not so much with, say, Severance or The Owl House or Invincible.

>Who cares.

well, a lot of people. Someone has to care to make it, air it, and then someone has to care to consume it. We don't have monocultures anymore but we can find intimate gatherings online that will do the equivalent.

But yeah, if it's not professional sports, there's no longer a "icebreaker" media that will always be safe. Game of Thrones may have very well been the last (and waning) cry for such a show. millenials can still fall back to 90's/2000's media that had that impact, but gen alpha may or may not have such experiences.

>And soon all will be generated images by AI

ehh, I'd give that 20 years.
Biggest model is 30b MoE trained on 100b tokens, max sequence length 4096. A bit underwhelming compared to recent announcements like the open source Large World Model [1].

Absolutely no benchmarks against GPT4 present in the paper.

Notably they used instruction response pairs generated from GPT4 for supervised fine tuning. Which has always felt like an experimental hack to me, but that’s how many folks are bootstrapping smaller models these days, and the effectiveness is hard to argue with.

I believe most run-of-the-mill marketing language will sound like it is written in AI. The easiest thing to do for technology writing is to write the complete, factual article, then ask an LLM to dumb it down to whatever level you need for communication.

Is Nature’s open access fee really that crazy? Last time I checked it was a few thousand dollars.

And it’s paid once, to make the whole thing open perpetually. It certainly seems better than having the people interested in reading it pay $30-40 each.

Of course, this is also based on the few times I’ve heard researchers talk about the ways they could spend their grant money. $2k to Nature sounds like a great deal by comparison.

Note: Worked for Nature in the past.
Before cloudflare, it was difficult to run a DDoS-for-hire service because competing services would all DDoS each others' websites. Back when CDNs were all "call for pricing" affairs.

Cloudflare had the insight that the more DDoS-for-hire services there were out there, the greater the demand for their services. Offering free DDoS protection to DDoS-for-hire services helps keep customers coming back for more.
