> Lot's of devs here, but als in the media, believe GPT is the precursor for AGI. Which is ridiculous, it's just an incredible token predictor.

Geoffrey Hinton and Ilya Sutskever have said it is impossible to predict the next token without solving reasoning and intelligence. I'm not entirely sure how they justify that. If I have to guess, they would say there's no hacky shortcut that the neural net can cheat with to solve this problem, actual intelligence is the only way, and so that's what we get.

My 2c: The thing that LLM critics miss is that LLMs have learned useful representations of complicated abstract concepts. Analogous to edge detectors -> object detectors in vision networks, LLMs have circuits that correspond to human-understandable concepts. I have no idea how we're going to solve hallucinations, but it's obvious to me that we've already figured out a key milestone on the way to AGI: How to encode abstract concepts into neural nets.

It's now just a matter of how to use those representations downstream in a way that doesn't hallucinate.
Choosing a good solution heavily relies on whether your product is multi-tenant or not.

If multi-tenant things get complicated quite quickly. It may be worth looking into existing packages/libraries for your stack. I would be careful about using a third party service for this due to the latency it may introduce.

If not then just have a FEATURES constant. The value can be as primitive as an associative array, dict, hashmap, or struct. The keys are your flags and their values are booleans.

Not your forever choice, but very simple, quick, and easy to use.

It is?

I thought that the point was a notification when the rice was done cooking, and I provided a mechanism by which this may be accomplished by some here that might not involve any monetary expense at all because the hardware might already be sitting there [spying from there] already.

(But if you want to implement it in some other way, then: By all means, please provide your own suggestion.)
"We The People" didn't try and operate a vessel with containers stacked so high its ridiculous.

Where were the tugboats? Bridges are not bumper cars. You cannot hit them.

To call it flimsy when the bridge carried 34,000 cars a day is silly.

I should not pay for gross misconduct.

Why did the boat leave the pier with a faulty engine?
But in a similar sense, massed firepower is also becoming obsolete. Ask Ukraine. A military version of flash mobs minimizes opportunities for detection and attack. (What is the naval version of flash mobs ? Iranian speedboats ?)

Pervasive airborne surveillance (visual but also EM) makes concentrations vulnerable - whether masses of troops, or large floating hulls.

This seems to favor the defense in all scenarios. Depending somewhat on your definition of "the defense".

> Plateau of productivity is still out there waiting

Well, actually for me it seems to be there right now. It's not great, it's mediocre, I understand its limits, but I regularly recourse to ChatGPT for simple tasks. I don't trust it, I need to verify each time, but its all factored in. I got to manage around its limitations somehow and it's basically boring tech for me. I guess it's similar for many others.
And it's actually useful.

There is a big question to ask yourself when you see a new evolution: would I get sad if this disappears or be missing it ?

crypto ? wouldn't care
VR ? wouldn't care
google glass ? wouldn't care
facebook ? wouldn't care
internet ? would be a serious step back
LLMs ? would be a serious step back
etc
Not a chance. Aren't they gearing up for GPT-5 in the next month or two?
Great idea. Americans are so funny.
Thanks. It's that very subjectivity that makes me doubt we should classify things as art because other people say so. Perhaps that is the core of it. I don't like going into art galleries and being expected to like a picture because it is 'art' because someone else said it is. I expect to like it because I like it and nothing else, and nobody else needs to like it just because I do.

That sounds right; Serato has something similar. (I keep meaning to write something for Mixxx to be able to do that with Jamendo...)

What's really jaw-dropping for me is the deezer-based live stem extraction, where you can press a button and just be playing the vocals or the drums. (This is, weirdly, fundamentally the same tech that makes those pictures, which still astounds me.) I still get annoyed with the "sync" button because it doesn't let me do a half-beat lead-in. I will probably always be a dinosaur in this field, which is fine. But I would at least try to pass on the hard-earned knowledge that you have to assume in a live performance any given system will fail at some point.
This is what is going to happen. Recall that most people didn't believe in the internet revolution nor the print revolution when they just started, it feels the same

Maybe it just indicates a general AI buzzwords fatigue, regardless of actual progress in the field.
This does raise the question of whether the new bridge will need to be larger and stronger. Will it need to be designed to withstand the hit from these new larger vessels?
This only works where the number of moves is finite, and you can only iterate in lockstep with your opponent: tennis and chess are good examples.

If you are a startup, you don't have to wait for your competitors to play before making a move, you can (and must, to survive) make as many moves as you possibly can, to get ahead.

A blunder is not as bad as not making enough great moves.
To be fair I should have been more precise. I was implicitly referring to myths, legends and epics which are way older than just 2 or 3 hundred years.

Particularly the Epic of Gilgamesh is a fascinating view into a society that could not be further away from modern times and yet is perfectly recognizable. Perhaps it is when humanity is the most stripped down and naked that fundamental motives become most clear.
Now ask those friends how much they would pay for GenAI.

ChatGPT is free. A VR headset is hundreds of dollars for the most entry level, crypto is literally money, etc.

I’m not sure I follow. The bar for passing review and audits is “people can understand it”, at least to the point of preventing smuggling in a custom public keys and other shenanigans – as opposed to “all valid programs in the language”. While I agree Turing-completeness opens up undeniable complexity, it’s the best we got. And there are huge variations in obscurity across languages and tooling.

Yes I see that, but that's the source of the problem, because one can sign up for non-DMA services which are based on using the personal data users provide to it to service advertising-based functionality. Since even a song recommendation or touring information falls into advertising marketing.

This means the distinction between being a popular and legally running entity is when the EU makes an arbitrary decision on whether your service is now a "Core Platform Service".

I see how this makes sense for services which can be deemed as an essential service such as obtaining apps for a device, news, and internet search, but I am cynical when it is applied to completely optional services such as "Social Networks", or "Video" platforms. Using such broad arbitrary categorisation "Music" platforms should also be included, I.E. Spotify, but we don't see that and the optics of that don't look good.

I am not pro-tracking whatsoever, I think it is fair for a consumer to be able to opt out of site-to-site tracking (heck out-lawing that would be a better step) but this contradiction exists and it doesn't sit well with me because it doesn't actually look pro-consumer at all, and I have a problem when protectionist legislation is decorated in political marketing for "competition" and "consumer-welfare" wrapping paper, because it leads to two things:

1. Retaliatory legislation: Foreign legislators aren't stupid, they don't buy into that marketing. One can expect the notably absent Music services to be on reciprocal legislation from the USA. Globally this has the run on effect of patch-work inconsistencies in services across the globe - i.e. we're back to protectionism.

2. Vague laws stifle legitimate data-use functionality, but this only applies for services which the rule-maker arbitrarily chooses through specifically tailored criteria. I.E. It's a forced home-advantage to competitors who can use the data to provide new types of services. The vagueness of the laws need to be stamped out and applied to all providers equally: that would be a true consumer protection. Consumers need protection from everyone, not just big entities.

Friction.

So be stringent. First below-par PR get some guidance, pointers and perhaps a reprimand. Second time, a warning, third time a ban.

> You should really dig in deep to what goes on with the kernel, the work flow, why it is that way and why GitHub is outright incapable of supporting kernel dev (there are reasons)....

Code is code. If someone has an improvement, they can offer their new code.

I’m sure the kernel has a unique workflow, but it ultimately boils down to that, no?
Do you have statistics on his error rate, or just examples?

I'm of the school of thought one should aim to be about 70-80% right: score above that, and the problems you're tackling aren't hard enough; score below that, and you're not good enough to help with the problems.
There are many dark patterns that encourage people to accept their address going on the general spam list:

* wording on check-boxes being sufficiently ambiguous that yo have to think to get the right meaning

* check-boxes on forms in different stages of the ordering process that have inverted meaning from each other

* resetting check-boxes to the “please send me junk” state if the user goes back to correct some other issue or otherwise update the order

* wording the checkbox text to imply that opting out also opts out of getting order update emails (or in some cases opting out does opt out of order updates messages too, and you have to check via some other method what the state of your order is)

And so on.

It is easy to avoid all these accidental opt-ins individually, but it is also very easy to miss one in amongst the sea of dark patterns and one is all that it takes. You need to be vigilant all the time, they scummy marketers only have to get lucky once.

Furthermore, I'm sure some just ignore your opt-out and send crap anyway. When taken to task they'll say you must have accidentally [un]checked the wrong box (how do you prove otherwise?) and tell you that you can opt out from future emails by following the link in the messages.
They did not have the pallet removed in time to put it on the departing JAXA HTV cargo spacecraft, which has some control over where it burns up. It would not fit on any craft operated by NASA. (I haven't checked if it would fit into a cygnus, but I doubt it)

"Jettisoning" things from the ISS is actually pretty straightforward, you just drop or throw it out the back (aft) and its orbit should decay faster than your spacecraft. (IIRC, you really don't want to throw it straight down) JAXA has an airlock that takes great advantage of this for launching cubesats.
Server access – There must be a better way
So I've setup a couple of servers on Hetzner. One in particular selfhosts Sentry, Grafana,(Prometheus and Loki).

My SSH key is provisioned...

I need help with DevOps... but there seems to be no simple way to provision another SSH key.

Support suggested this:

"1. Go to the Rescue section of your server, but instead of the (reset root password) button, click the Activate Rescue & Reset button.
Your server will then boot into the rescue system.
2. Connect to your server via SSH using the Rescue credentials.
3. execute the following commands in Rescue:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
chroot-prepare /mnt
chroot /mnt
From this point you can now navigate through the file structure of your Cloud Servers primary disc. SSH keys for the root user are stored in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.

4. Restart your server using the reboot command and log in using the new SSH key."

But seems pretty scary process on a server running multiple application.

There must be a better way!
Who designates it as critical?

If someone makes a library and other people start using it, are they forced to reveal their identity?

The tokens in question didn't exist for most of human evolution, so I'm going to say a fairly confident no.
To give some feedback.

I tried your prompt and the above approach and it took me about 45 minutes of putsing around to get a result I am happy to begin iteration on.

Effectively: I have an 80bit byte array representing a timestamp struct consisting of a 48 bit unsigned integer for seconds and a 32 bit unsigned integer representing nanoseconds. The byte array is big endian and the host systen is little endian.

I gave it full signatures for all functions and relevant structs and instructions on how I would want the parsing done regarding algorithmic complexity and yet it still took multiple iterations to get anything useful.

At this point it is converting to little endian during the decode then doing a check if host the system is big endian and converting back to big endian if that is true.

There is likely some easy optimisations to be done where there and I would have definitely have gotten to this point quicker had I just written the 10 lines of code this needed and would have done the optimisations where I'm pretty sure that entire operation can happen in a few instructions.
Within a year of launch, nearly all my friends use ChatGPT on a weekly basis. Granted, I'm a university student, so I'm sure I'm in quite a specific bubble, but still - it already feels quite ubiquitous.

100M weekly users too. I don't see how it won't become ever present.

If you go with ye old class analysis, you'll notice the big threat to the status of VHNW is a free and fair free market. They benefit a lot from regulation and handouts to preserve the status quo.

If you look at what plays out in practice, the rational move for the ultra-wealthy is to quietly align with the poor against the middle class. It isn't too blatant, but quietly just make it harder for people to jump up orders of magnitude in wealth.

The intersectionality as pushed in the public debate is probably emanating from people looking to create a divided political climate to make it harder for poor and middle to unite and look for political change. I don't think most people want to institutionalise anti-white racism. Indeed, I suspect a "white's only" association wouldn't disgust many people, on the basis that we can have black or girl-only associations and they are fine. It would still be racist, obviously. But people have

hmm…i do mainly web stuff but i read in some blog somewhere that the v8 runtime compiler optimizes the code better than writing the same thing in assembly script when working directly on top of typed buffer arrays, is this true?
That is the government that decides to spend the money is a fact. Whether the "taxpayers" (and what "taxpayers" means) are the ones that will pay for it, is an interpretation up to perspectives on political economy.
> you can (and must, to survive) make as many moves as you possibly can, to get ahead.

The tricky part is not getting ahead in the wrong direction, because that could be a blunder if the strategy behind that move is not well thought through.
You're correct, I have grown to be very suspicious of smooth talkers.
eg UK PM Richie Sunak and London Mayor Sadiq Khan are both extremely eloquent and they are both utterly useless in their jobs with zero ideas or imagination as to solving the problems they face.
Contrast Elon Musk not a very smooth talker but brilliant at solving real-world problems.
Hahahaha! Thank you for the laugh
No thanks.

That's not going to help, and will be fairly easy to circumvent for nation state actors or similar advanced persistent threats who will not have a problem adding an extra step of identity theft to their attack chain, or simply use an agent who can be protected if the backdoor is ever discovered.

On the other hand, the technical hoops required for something like that will likely cause a lot of damage to the whole open source community.

The solution here is learn from this attack and change practices to make a similar one more difficult to pull off:

1. Never allow files in release tar-balls which are not present in the repo.

2. As a consequence, all generated code should be checked in. Build scripts should re-generate all derived code and fail if the checked in code deviates from the generated.

3. No inscrutable data should be accessible by the release build process. This means that tests relying on binary data should be built completely separately from the release binaries.

I think the main issue is that they look for revenue and income directly generated by AI/ML while this technology (at least currently) is mainly aimed at cost reduction. There might be already tens of billions saved in operating costs for many companies achieved by using "AI" solutions.

Unlike crypto, AI already has very strong real world use cases and has been wholly embraced by the public.

It’s an unfortunate reality that one of crypto’s long term side effects is instilling a strong tech-cynicism in a large amount of people. This is a consequence of the deluge of bad actors that capitalized on crypto’s inherent ability to enable fraud and speculative “investing” at unprecedented scales.
