>...Shupe copyright registration of her book does not recognize her as author of the whole text as is conventional for written works. Instead she is considered the author of the “selection, coordination, and arrangement of text generated by artificial intelligence.” This means no one can copy the book without permission, but the actual sentences and paragraphs themselves are not copyrighted and could theoretically be rearranged and republished as a different book.

I wonder how little modification would be required for it to republished as a different book.

I don't think a baguette recipe is 0.6 by their definition? Their "0.60" would mean 3C of water to 5C flour. I'd expect a baguette to be around 0.50 (1C of water to 2C of flour).

Assuming Ross's rumour is true and he is rarely wrong about Display Screen information.

If Apple were to keep normal iPhone the same Aspect Ratio as Pro, i.e the new 19.6 : 9 Ratio. ( They are making it slightly longer to compensate for the space used for Dynamic Island ) And ALL the iPhone range will keep the same size difference between Normal / Plus and Pro / Pro Max, which is roughly 19.5 - 20% larger area for the bigger model.

Then an iPhone 17 with 5.9" Screen would have an iPhone 17 Plus with 6.46" ( Likely calling it 6.5" ), which fits nicely between 6.3" in the iPhone 17 Pro and 6.9" of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone 5.9" would satisfy most of the demand for smaller iPhone, while 6.5" would not cannibalise the iPhone Pro Max sales.

This is similar to the MacBook line up, where the Air has 13" and 15" Screen size while Pro has 14" and 16" Screen size.

Natural selection is certainly real, but it has zero creative power. It can only select from what already exists. Usually the actual creative mechanism is assumed to be random genetic mutations. But where has anyone observed mutations changing one kind of animal into a new more advanced kind? In reality mutations are destructive to genetic information, and over long timescales cause devolution. As more mutations are inherited, genetic disorders and diseases will increase. To learn more about this I recommend reading the book "Genetic Entropy" by Cornell University geneticist Dr. John Sanford.

I strongly disagree that it's thought-terminating to believe that God designed the universe and living things. This understanding will lead scientists to study the genius constructions, techniques, and formulas that God used in order to improve our own machines and inventions. In contrast, the belief that living things evolved by chance may cause scientists to dismiss something they don't understand as a useless evolutionary leftover, rather than studying it further to find its actual purpose (e.g. the appendix). Thus evolutionary assumptions retard scientific progress.

I wonder how we get better physician ratings?

Right now, all online reviews are superficial at best.

"He listened to my questions."

"She made my family feel at ease."

"The front office followed up for my next appointment."

I don't care how kind or rude the physician is.

I want them to get my diagnosis correct.

I'd like to see data on each physician - each patient's five- and ten-year follow-up data. Reveal to me if the diagnosis was correct.

I understand the messiness of this data gathering. I know some patients may not want to reveal such sensitive data. Doctors would probably game the scoring system. There may be confounding conditions as well.

But this would be my dream data scenario.
Dunno why i can't reply to your reply, but I pointed out earlier than West African immigrants (sharing West African ancestry with AAs) are some of the most successful immigrant families in the US. Others have tried to debunk this for me saying only the best emigrate to the US. Okay, well why is this the same case in the UK where all black people are immigrants? Caribbean immigrant families have worse outcomes than Nigerian immigrant families. So it's not genetic. It's about transatlantic slavery, the legacy of oppression that that has had, and the cultural distrust of the system that thrives amongst these people in the wake of such systemic oppression.

The title says “the quiet mind”. This seems to allude to the temporary cessation of the discursive mind in (Buddhist) meditation.

> When we return to New York I take the subway to doctor appointments. I don’t take out my phone, I just sit. My brain is quiet, which I find suspicious, but also soothing. Before the accident I went to yoga retreats and tried meditation. I said things like “I just need to unplug.” Apparently what I needed was to get hit by a truck. Perhaps I have discovered the secret to a peaceful mind, and it is traumatic brain injury. I fantasize about opening an expensive spa where busy people pay me money to whack them on the head with a baseball bat.

Levity aside, I’ve never seen a master meditator discuss “quieting the mind” as a downside.

I currently work on a research group that does all of its bioinformatics analysis in AWS. The bill is expensive, sure, 6 figures regularly, maybe 7 in its lifetime, but provisioning our own cluster (let alone a supercomputer) would've been way more costly and time consuming. You also now need people to maintain it, etc... And at the end of the day, it could well be the case that you still end up using AWS for something (hosting, storage, w/e)

I think it's a W, so far.

The stories I've read were mostly in New York where this kind of thing happens not infrequently, so I guess - I have no data to prove otherwise.

Well, we 100% agree then.

I also agree.
I've never heard of a parent being concerned about console mods, of all things, and I (as a parent) don't really buy this angle. The original Xbox's weak parental controls could be bypassed by pressing X Y Left Trigger X, a tidbit that was quickly distributed throughout my middle school to let everyone launch M-rated Halo discs. Presumably if publishers were actually pressuring Microsoft to make a child-safe device, they'd have come up with a more advanced protection mechanism than that.

Modifiability/vulnerability would not affect my game console buying decision as a parent at all, provided the console had some form of cursory parental controls. I'd probably choose a console that didn't have such a simple bypass as the original Xbox, placed head to head with another console, but if my kid has to go online (!), learn about exploit development, and run some advanced tool to bypass parental controls, that's a valuable learning experience, and they were already on the Internet somehow, a much more dangerous place than an M-rated game anyway.

DRM and cheating are the drivers for game console secure boot. Cheating is getting even more important than DRM, really, IMO - it's one of the places where consoles have a huge edge over PC gaming.
> Then what is a reasonable price? They could define it.

Not without creating a situation where only those with at least a certain amount of money can keep their rights.

> I also have no idea how they came up with that number [€250]

Same. If their user numbers and published finances are to be believed then they make (IIRC) ~$25 per average EU user per year (closer to $75 for a US user) so €250 is a massive uplift. Unless of course they are lying about their active user numbers, or at least being incredibly disingenuous about how they calculate those numbers, which many believe is the case, in which case the amount made per active user is higher.

Even the €9.99/mo seems far too high if they aren't being deceitful about their active user numbers, which suggests deliberately trying to discourage take-up because being able to stalk for their advertisers is more convenient and likely more profitable (or that they are being deceitful about their active user numbers!).
* Your remote dev environment doesn't have to be that remote. If it's just you using it, it might be worth it to have that box sitting in a corner at home. You could start out with a 99 dollar nuc, or the old PC you have sitting around, or a cheap desk top, or your companies casts offs (ask, you might be surprised what is getting chucked.

* Prox mox is great, but it's just a pretty GUI on top of some standard linux tools. My adventure down this path started when XEN was the new hotness and it was being run on dell hardware. Pick your poison here.

* VM > Containers. Your host OS doesn't have to match your host os in prod. Your VM should match your host OS in prod. If you want to run containers on that go for it, but I would work with more VM's... The moment you need to jam something into a container for debugging reasons (profiler, network monitor) the VM will have instantly won (cause your logging in and running apt/yum)....

* Find a style that works for you. How do you get your code from your dev system to where it needs to be? Fuse, Rsync, SCP, SFTP, does your IDE allow for remote dev (and are the systems close enough)....

* Figure out how you're going to deal with scripting: bash works great and you can do a lot with it, and make can be helpful. Sometimes you need more than bash (sometimes bash is the wrong tool)... There are a million choices like ansible, chef, puppet... you can sling around biarys (go/zig/rust)... And if your python/ruby/node, you can just install that everywhere. Candidly "portable binary" and a little bash has become the big winner here.

No matter what you read or look at its going to be a month where you feel "unproductive" cause your screwing around with remote dev. In that regard treat it like a new IDE getting set up or learning a new programing language. The reality is that unless you feel like your already a systems admin your going to spend a fair bit of time becoming intimate with infrastructure.

I now just have 6 core 12 thread 128gb am4 sitting in a corner for most of my day to day work. I can clone environments, make risky changes, run tests against them, and then go back work without being out of commission. When I do have compile tasks, those aren't competing with me responding to emails or doing a code review on my personal machine. The pain of setup opens up a LOT of "I can run this experiment" because you're NOT going to mess up your workflow for hours or a day doing them.

If you want a citation that EA belief does, in practice, encourage crime, I would direct you to literally all the reporting on FTX.

But if I'm reading you correctly, you're asking instead for a citation of some EA materials in which EA leadership says, "do fraud". There is no such citation. That is not how this works. Looking at history, a recurring pattern is that good-sounding ideas can have bad consequences. When it happens, they rarely come out and say "do bad stuff".

> please explain why a belief or movement should be judged by what a few members do?

A belief or movement should be judged by the total impact across all members. I'm not just talking about a naive weighted sum -- that would just be more utilitarianism, which is the evil idea we need to unlearn here.

A better framing is that you're trying to infer a risk distribution based on the observed data. In so doing, you incorporate an understanding of the history of altruism, where it's way easier to do major damage than major good. Therefore, you heavily weight a downside event, because this is merely a taste of the true tail risk.

Tail risk is easy to underestimate (see the work of Nassim Taleb on this). If you throw out negative data points, you're making it even harder to appreciate the worst case.

> I am making this post because I do not like seeing groups, organizations, and movements blamed for what a few members do.

I suppose this is a fine instinct in general. And I'm all for protecting minority viewpoints and their right to think freely.

But when a group makes wild claims about how its revolutionary thought process can discover shortcuts to astronomical benefits in the distant future, then they're operating on pure ideology without much of a feedback loop. In such a case, the question of the ideology's tail risk becomes extra important.

You may notice that by my reasoning here, the lessons from FTX should have less bearing on how we view the "neartermist" cause areas, where EAs are measuring their impact and reacting to facts on the ground. This is indeed true. I believe that early EA did a lot of good, and there are still a few "neartermist" EAs left, doing decent work.

So to bring the thread full circle, this distinction is all the more reason to celebrate the end of FHI, which helped drive the shift within EA toward longtermism, where their utilitarianism is a poor fit and, I would claim, a danger to humanity.
Sure, something like ZFS would be nice, but in a router not needed as you'd mount the fs rw only during update, wouldn't you? Logs are either on a separate, RAM based fs (tmpfs) or (preferably) sent to a remote logging host.

I agree with you in general, but I think it has to be said that we also live in the era of things like the source for Unreal Engine 5 being completely and wholly available, along with a zillion tutorials and extremely well documented source. This is unlike anything we had, and better in basically every single way imaginable. In the hardware world there's Pi's, dirt cheap PCBs that you can have delivered in < 24 hours, and so on endlessly. It's like instead of breaking into a trailer, we've all been granted carte blanche access to a mansion.

But maybe there was something about how counter-culture and esoteric stuff was itself attractive precisely because of that. There was also a lot more reward for a lot less work, largely because so few people were doing it. Now if somebody wants to go learn Unreal then it's just a pretty mundane and common thing, and you'll also be largely incompetent unless you're willing to dedicate years to it. By contrast when I was a kid changing the text in a shareware installer was enough to wow my friends with my leet skills, and that's something that took about 5 minutes to do, and not that much longer to learn. Oh and then creating secret directories by naming them alt+255, and so on. Dumb stuff, but it soon enough led me to much more than parlor tricks.

Another cool trick to get around TTS latency is to maintain an audio cache keyed by semantic meaning, and get the LLM to choose from the cache. This saves high TTS API costs too.
It will take years to prove the genocide under international law. In the meantime plausible genocide (or genocide for short) are the most accurate terms. It is the term international organizations and many government do indeed use, as do many media organizations. So should we.

The Cambodian genocide was never proven to be a genocide under international law. It was proven under a special national tribunal in Cambodia to be one. But it failed to meet the strict criteria under international law. We still call it a genocide, and we should do so. The crimes of the Khmer Rouge were that of genocide and should be described as such. The same goes for the crimes of Israel.
I guess I am biased to like the article including it's presentation, since I spent 6 years as a technical diver fixing underwater hydraulics and electrical systems, but at much shallower depths than the undersea cables. A buddy of mine is an ROV operator for pipe-laying ships. Cool stuff, big stuff, and lots of crazy stuff involved (seeing weird, unidentifiable living creatures quickly and blurrily cross in front of the ROV's camera, etc.).

I remained hidden below water as a technical show diver, while 1800 to 2000 audience members topside were getting impatient with a "technical delay" show pause. Typically, we were checking for faults in safety systems on underwater lifts, or for a potential hydraulics leak. We'd exit under the audience seating and go back to work after clearing the issue.

In a world filled with high-tech desk jobs, finance, and non-tangible products, and having grown up working class, I have great respect for all the people behind the scenes physically keeping our tenuous world together. Some of this became readily apparent with once invisible food delivery and restaurant workers during COVID. Healthcare workers obviously came into their own too, but so many other workers were still taken for granted.

I visualize a person huffing when their internet is slow or intermittent with a guy out to sea working during a storm or under difficult conditions and I laugh at the juxtaposition and perspective of both. I also do rope work and had to resort to doing more of it during COVID because my 'desk work' dried up a bit. Hanging 300ft off of a building with a black balaclava and mask with all-black rigging equipment in NJ doing a facade inspection across from the FBI building was certainly a memorable one. (Note: all-black equipment is standard for theater and entertainment work to stay hidden. I did confirm the FBI building people were informed there would be 4 guys on ropes that day. You never know!). I have been programming since 1978, but I have always had to have some physicality to my work in order to be satisfied. I guess it's having a more tangible connection to the world not abstracted away several layers.
