Having given this problem a great deal of thought, I have developed a strong intuition around this. I believe not only is AGI feasible, it is already doable.

For example, several hundred GPT-4 based agents specializing in different skill sets should be able to collaboratively solve many problems. Their ability to work on so many facets of the same problem will make them very effective against multidisciplinary problems.

What’s the catch? Well, the back and forth has to play out in a serial order, so it cannot be parallelized. At today’s abysmal inference speeds, it may take this AGI many times longer than a trained human. Now imagine the effectiveness of this method when we can speed up inference to several hundred times a minute. Now AGI suddenly becomes way more efficient than a human.

I was merely pointing out that your anecdote is already part of the statistical evidence and not particularly useful to a discussion of whether it should be added to water

"I don't want it in my water" is actually a better and more relevant thing to say. As irrational as they are, peoples comfort levels, personal beliefs, and fears are rational to consider for policy decisions. (All people have irrational beliefs , fears, etc - its just a fact of people).

Thank goodness you learned early that those other insurance companies were incompetent and unwilling to work with their customers even in the face of obvious mistakes on their part. If they had accepted you, you wouldn't want to have had to deal with trying to get money out of them, especially when you'd already be dealing with a stressful situation. They really did you a favor by rejecting you, and you now know to stay away from them when it comes to other types of insurance too.
I found this other paper that tests Temperature: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.05201

It appears that temperature has no impact on problem solving performance. So this paper isn't getting improved performance because the token for the correct answer is more probable.

My theory is that the multiple queries are allowing the whole probability space of possible answers to be sampled. Not just the probabilities of the most likely output token, but the probabilities of all possible internal model states.

And sampling that probability space of the whole model state and finding the average is a very different mathematical operation to just picking a single model state at random and then picking the most probable output tokens.

I don't know that it's the time delay that's important, as much as unknown external forces acting on the system? If the problem was just that it took a known amount of time for the vehicle's angle to change, wouldn't we be able to compute open loop control solutions in advance?
So to me that says you want it both ways, for while I appreciate what the codeshelter folks are trying to do, it is a task that is going to turn out Sudden But Inevitable Betrayals. Instead of contacting a maintainer directly, they just look sufficiently polished that codeshelter says "yeah, sure, OK" and hands it over.

Forking the project and earning your own trust really is the safe path forward.

Cuba is a place with little natural resources and that suffers with a criminal economical blockade. Even with these difficulties, it managed to become one of the countries in Caribbean with highest GDP per capita. Of course, the embargo causes scarcity and lowers a lot the Purchasing Power Parity despite the relatively higher GDP for the region.

I do not know how is this in USA, but in my country (Brazil) we have more empty houses than homeless people (it's 11 millions of empty houses vs. 6 millions of homeless people). It shows that even if this supposed scarcity of houses are solved, capitalism will not allocate the resources in a way that maximizes human benefit, it insists in maximizing only profit and reproduction of capital. The headline in this news is a symptom: if a new tech makes possible produce more with less labor, we worry that capitalism will cut jobs, and the best news that we could receive is that it will not happen, perhaps because it will open more markets to compensate. We will never celebrate that now we will have more free time because the new tech will allow us to work less.

Among much of the advice here, that one hasn't scaled too well.
It could be somebody who was just good at some things and not at other things.
As someone who spent way too much time chasing this rabbit, the real answer is Just Don't. GitHub Actions is a CI system that makes it easy to get started with simple CI needs but runs into hard problems as soon as you have more advanced needs. Docker caching is one of those advanced needs. If you have non-trivial Docker builds then you simply need on-disk local caching, period.

Either use Depot or switch to self-hosted runners with large disks.

I've personally always had closed eye visuals, that are very vivid. Quite a few people have those without hallucinogens.
That's interesting that you'd instantly turn it into a visual representation.

If you were to remove those visual pieces and were only left with the abstract concept of a month and the fact that they're ordered then that's as best as I can really describe at least how I personally "visualise" something. It's more about ideas and the "feeling" of how different concepts relate to one another - e.g. March is a month and it is followed by April.

Perception is definitely subjective!
But it's also the beauty that a few people can create so much value.

And how many of these projects couldn't be picked up and urgently patched if the proverbial bus does come along? Like it wouldn't be pretty, but would it be possible?
totally agree, github actions has done an excellent job at this lowest layer of the build pipeline today but is woefully inadequate the minute your org hits north of 50 engineers

Wanted to see if it was possible to use the core capabilities of LLMs to build a truly consultative sales approach to buying complex products. Feedback welcome.
Lol no worries. It was pure "I don't know what I expected" for the succeeding 2 seconds.

Other feedback is that it would be nice to be able to set it to say "I want to design a database in PostgreSQL" and have the available datatypes match that. So I can specify postgres specific things like time with timezone, money, point (for geo data) etc.

How do you prefer feedback? Issues in the GH repo?
Did you consider using a local (in the same VPC) docker registry mirror perhaps? https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/mirror/

Interesting.

I remember working on a project where the first clean build would always fail, and only incremental builds could succeed. I was a junior at the time, so this was 15-20 years ago. I remember spending some time trying to get it to succeed from a clean build and my lead pulling me aside: he said it was an easy fix, but if we fixed it, the ops guys would insist on building from scratch for every build. So please, stop.

Personally, unless you have an exotic build env, it’s usually faster and easier to simply build in the runner. If you need a docker image at the end, build a dockerfile that simply copies the artifacts from disk.
You can also just pass the partition to a VM and access the VM storage however you want. I would trust that a lot more than this to be honest. Nothing against this project in particular, I just don't find the idea of using a filesystem driver on Windows to access a filesystem that Windows doesn't normally support. I don't really trust Windows to handle that well :P
> But if the boss is already set on firing everyone in the department, but lets one or two people stay on if they have sex with him

But we'd still call this coercion. The "dual" of this is "have sex with me or be fired." Just because not everyone gets to have that opportunity does not mean it is not the same question stated differently.

> And the military example is similar, there's no retaliation, most men are doing the service.

There is retaliation, it's called jail.

Just because others are doing it doesn't make it any less of a coercion. This scales too.
You're completely missing the point. You're obviously from somewhere civilized, where ordinary employees get actual, spelled out contracts that specify how many hours they're to work each week.

US employees don't get that sort of thing. At best, we get a not-actually-a-contract "offer letter" that says something about here is the job you're being offered, the salary, and the job description (generally including the weasely phrase "other duties as assigned." Because we don't have binding contracts with our employers, we don't even have that baseline of "a contract that outlines a 40 hour work week."
> I see this type of comment on HN too often. Some hypothetical bullshit scenario followed by a BIG if. Armchair quarterback type of comment. In all highly advanced countries (G7 and similar), insurance is insanely strictly regulated. If they cancel your policy for a b/s reason, and your protests are ignored, then tell the regulators. They will fix it quickly and slap a huge fine on the insurer.

Except that according to the article this "hypothetical bullshit scenario" is already happening and there are even several examples of it happening including one where a person was rejected for the condition of their roof when the roof was brand new, and another where a person was rejected because of trees that were nothing more than shadows.

Since you know that it's so easy to "tell regulators" and get things fixed quickly you should reach out to Douglas Heller, the director of insurance at the Consumer Federation of America, because he's under the impression that “The technology is way ahead of any consumer protections” and consumer groups feel that inspections via aerial images are "worrisome because of the limited rights customers have to challenge the images"

You can find Mr. Heller here (https://consumerfed.org/expert/douglas-heller/). I'm sure Douglas would love to learn about how none of this is a problem because "insurance is insanely strictly regulated" and your expertise would mean that he can better help the people currently struggling with this issue and potentially even save others from having to deal with it in the future.
The Hamiltonian is a lot more flexible with respect to frame. The Newtonian formulation works great for simple cases but as it gets more complex it's harder and harder to pick a reference frame that's easy to compute.

Effectively, by working with energy rather than force, you can avoid working with vectors. That ends up being simpler as the components add up.

Vienna's affordable real estate is entirely down to the quantity of housing they build - around 2/3 as many units as NYC with 1/4 the population. It has nothing to do with locking private capital out of real estate (which anyway isn't what Vienna does - there is private housing too). U.S. cities used to be affordable too, when they were building lots of housing.

Agreed. Database in this context is expected to be a DBMS or equivalent.
I invite you to start selling an insurance product whose sales pitch is "You will get some utility from this product paying for other people's roofs!"

Is there some kind of theory of insurance they teach in business class where they explain this "discover the network" idea? It doesn't sound like the common definition of insurance at all.

I believe the perfect information case you say wouldn't happen is exactly what would happen. The only reason we have insurance is that perfect information is impossible in a chaotic world.
This requires a lot of work from a dev inf team, though. Not as straightforward for an average team.

I know it's not the EU, but under the GDPR you have a right to correct personal information. While you don't have a contract with them, it sounds like your information is in their database (for them to look up?). I wonder if that would be an avenue to fight this were this the EU?

Some time ago, Andrej Karpathy posted a YouTube video about building GPT from scratch. Using the same dataset (a 1MB text file with all of Shakespeare’s works), the video goes from a very basic model to something like GPT2

What really stood out to me is that, while the typical wisdom is “more data -> better model”, in the video they use the exact same data for all the models, so all the gains are achieved only through improved algorithms and computation power

With that in mind, I wonder if at some point someone will figure out an algorithm for a model that can be trained on just an English dictionary and get a decent LLM-equivalent model that can have a basic conversation. Given the small size of the data (a dictionary), I assume the model would be pretty small and quite fast to run, even on older or smaller machines

It's same as for everything: something is going into lower energy state, while something else going into higher energy state via some energy transfer mechanism.

We are 100% sure for one side of energy transfer: both spacecraft and Sun are going to higher energy level first, then to lower energy level.

Other part of equation is unknown. It's called "Gravitational potential energy", but it's unknown what stores this energy. However, we have few hints: objects creates gravitation waves, gravitational waves are propagated at c (speed of light), there is Higgs field (nature unknown), which is presented everywhere and gives mass, Higgs boson connects objects to Higgs field, gravitational force is proportional to 1/d^2. So, we have a medium (Higgs field), to which objects are connected via Higgs bosons. We can assume that energy can be transferred to/from the medium via bosons, so medium can store the energy and release it. We can speculate that when bosons somewhat connects to medium, it may create a tension in the medium, like bubbles on water, via unknown physical process. As result of that tension, bosons which are closer are spending less energy to create same tension, which makes closer position energetically favorable, so any random motion (because of noise in the medium) in direction of another boson will release some energy, while any movement in opposite direction will require to apply some energy.
> The backdoor relies on sshd being patched to depend on libsystemd to call sd_notify

I remember when we added sd_notify support to our services at work, I was wondering why one would pull in libsystemd as a dependency for this. I mean, there's a pure-Python library [1] that basically boils down to:

import os, socket

def notify(state=b"READY=1"):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_UNIX, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
addr = os.getenv('NOTIFY_SOCKET')
if addr[0] == '@':
addr = '\0' + addr[1:]
sock.connect(addr)
sock.sendall(state)

With proper error handling, that's about 50 lines of C code. I would vendor that into my application in a heartbeat.

Agreed. Also often the gap between what people will pay for a hobby project and what money is being made at a tech company by the people who have the hobby is vast. Sometimes there are contractual restrictions on taking money from other jobs simultaneously that complicate it.

Even if you can think of 10 relatively uncorrelated reasons, that lets you catch the genius murderer 1-(1/2^10) of the time, which is quite good.
The article is missing significant context surrounding "reducing bycatch," so I'll try to provide a little.

Bycatching is a problem, because you have large trawler fleets drag netting for a specific species, like pollock; but, since nets do not discriminate, they also catch other fish and animals, including thousands of chinook. Those same fleets fishing for other species are involved in community development quota programs that share a portion of their profits with tribal Bering Sea coastal communities.

The Bering Sea communities are extremely dependent on such subsidies and a restriction on the trawlers to the benefit of Yukon and Kushkokwim tribes, comes at the detriment of Bering Sea tribes.

It's a weird situation.
Technically, all 3 could be wrong and an unknown 4th option could be correct. That seems to be what they are proposing here.
