But the other 3 results are that the randomness is "irreducible", which I'm assuming means we can never actually get rid of the randomness. And smaller portion believe that randomness is just apparent, which I'm assuming they're referring to Many Words interpretation. Neither of those gets you to determinism from our perspective though.

They actually ask later in the poll which interpretation is their favorite (Q12) and 42% pick Copenhagen. But the only deterministic one on that list is the pilot wave theory, and that got a 0. Some did pick "other", so that might include something deterministic, but based on the results of Q1 I'm assuming not.

Why are you so confident that nobody will use this in real life? I know OpenAI showed only a few demos, but I can see huge potential.
After watching the demo, my question isn't about how close it is to helping me learn a language, but about how close it is to being me in another language.

This feels like the "self-driving car engineers are taking the trolley problem into account" fallacy. There is absolutely no code in these things taking into account the laws of at-fault traffic accidents in their locale. The basic problem of "1. get where you're trying to go, and 2. don't crash into things" is already hard enough. There is no "dive onto the sidewalk to avoid an out of control bus" algorithm, nor is there a system to count the people on the bus and the sidewalk and compare them, nor is there a physics sim examining potential future spinal integrity.

You know what the car does if there's a motorcycle in front of it? It brakes. You know what it does if there's a weird bus coming across lanes towards it? It brakes. Driving normally is a hard enough problem. Nobody's designing these things to handle movie car chases.

>has to like me

I feel likely people aren't imagining with enough cyberpunk dystopian enthusiasm. Can't an AI be made that doesn't inherently like people? Wouldn't it be possible to make an AI that likes some people and not others? Maybe even make AIs that are inclined to liking certain traits, but which don't do so automatically so it must still be convinced?

At some point we have an AI which could choose not to like people, but would value different traits than normal humans. For example an AI that doesn't value appearance at all and instead values unique obsessions as being comparable to how the standard human values attractiveness.

It also wouldn't be so hard for a person to convince themselves that human "choice" isn't so free spirited as imagined, and instead is dependent upon specific factors no different than these unique trained AIs, except that the traits the AI values are traits that people generally find themselves not being valued by others for.
Degraded carrageenan, or poligeenan, is not safe to eat. Research in animals indicates that it causes gut tumors and ulcers, and may even trigger colon cancer.

Because of the possible danger, fewer studies have investigated the potential effects in humans.

Findings like these have led the International Agency for Research in Cancer to list poligeenan as a possible human carcinogen.

This means that the agency has reviewed the evidence that poligeenan can cause cancer in animals and concluded that it may have the same effect in humans.

Some scientists are concerned that food-grade carrageenan is also dangerous. This is because various studies, dating back to the 1960s, show that the substance may degrade and become toxic when it mixes with stomach acid.

The medical community is unsure to what extent carrageenan degrades in the digestive system. This means that we do not know if any amount is toxic. It is important to note that no related studies have involved human participants.

Findings of a review from 2017Trusted Source indicated that even non-degraded carrageenan can cause inflammation and bowel disorders, suggesting that this substance may contribute to ulcers and IBD.

However, authors of a 2018 reviewTrusted Source concluded that there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions about the exact health effects of carrageenan.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that eliminating carrageenan from the diet can provide relief from digestive problems, such as bloating and IBD. However, these reports are not the result of scientific research.

I disagree, transfer learning and generalization are hugely powerful and specialized models won't be as good because their limited scope limits their ability to generalize and transfer knowledge from one domain to another.

I think people who emphasis specialized models are operating under a false assumption that by focusing the model it'll be able to go deeper in that domain. However, the opposite seems to be true.

Granted, specialized models like AlphaFold are superior in their domain but I think that'll be less true as models become more capable at general learning.

Consumers in general.

Of course HN will even have people openly say things approaching:

"In my value calculus, it is only rational to swerve the vehicle to plow through a sidewalk full of photogenic preschoolers on a field trip, to maximize my chance of survival, and increase the likelihood of my genetic material propagating and out-competing that of others. Nature has always selected for behavior such as this, and it is only right. It repels me that others do not think this way, or are too weak to admit it, because they are inferior in intellect and strength of will! Hence why I and my spawn shall be the rightful leaders over them!"

Vigorous gestures and armbands are optional.

My gut feel is that most people either don't think like that, or -- to the extent they do think a little like that -- they're selective about where and how they voice it.
Of course. And no, you don't have brushed motors in modern EVs, outside of some DIYs. It's all BLDC. However, where have I contradicted any of this?

I'm a Spaniard and to my ears it clearly sounds like "Es una manzana y un plátano".

What's strange to me is that, as far as I know, "plátano" is only commonly used in Spain, but the accent of the AI voice didn't sound like it's from Spain. It sounds more like an American who speaks Spanish as a second language, and those folks typically speak some Mexican dialect of Spanish.
Also I don't know how you can choose to like or not like someone. You either do or you don't.

Who's the "you" in this scenario?
I have a single code base [0] for the self-hosted editions and for the SaaS. I split features up across two editions: community edition (CE) and enterprise edition (EE), and then also two modes: singleplayer and multiplayer (single- vs multi-tenant). The switching is done via environment variables, KEYGEN_EDITION and KEYGEN_MODE. The SaaS offering actually runs the EE edition in multiplayer mode, and is right now the only instance of the EE edition in multiplayer mode (other EE customers are entitled to singleplayer only).

I've been running this set up for about a year [1] and it's working well. Having a single code base was a requirement before I made the project fair source [2]; the fair source ELv2 license lets me add feature gates to facilitate this, while protecting me from forks giving away EE features for free (while still allowing forks).

Updates are pushed to the SaaS offering daily. I cut self-hosted releases bi-annually unless it's for a critical fix.

> Objects and buildings feature a hierarchy of centers – distinctive features which attract the spectator's eye.

I think it's weird to consider the people interacting with buildings as "spectators". Presumably a building serves purposes other than being seen. Though these were posed by an architect, "residents", "occupants", "users" etc are never mentioned -- only "spectators".

Would you be willing eat your words? Plenty of EV motor designs from Continental, ZF and Chinese companies are brushed (or other forms of physical shaft contact with slip rings). Not every EV is BLDC due to the desire to give up on expensive rare earth magnets on budget models.

> But you're underestimating just how much of the labor force are effectively just an interface between a customer and some app

That's the sleight of hand LLM advocates are playing right now.

"Imagine how many people are just putting data into computers! We could replace them all!"

Yet LLMs aren't "just putting data into a computer" They aren't even really user/app interfaces. They are a magic box you can give directives to and get (generally correct, but not always) answers from.

Go ahead, ask your LLM "Create an excel document with the last 30 days of the high temperatures for blank". What happens? Did it create that excel document? Why not?

LLMs don't bridge the user/app gap. They bridge the user/knowledge gap, sometimes sort of.
> First, a key part of our mission is to put very capable AI tools in the hands of people for free (or at a great price). I am very proud that we’ve made the best model in the world available for free in ChatGPT, without ads or anything like that.

You absolutely can; it's what you're supposed to do if a toddler runs out in front of the car, for example. Barring malfunctioning brake lights, if you rear end a suddenly stopping vehicle, you were at fault for following at an unsafe distance.

Most legislation about this (example: https://codes.findlaw.com/ca/vehicle-code/veh-sect-22109/) says stuff like "when there is opportunity to give the signal". Screech brakes, then signal.

At least under GDPR, collecting personal data is already considered processing. Processing is only allowed under specific conditions and purpose.

It would be perfectly fine if Discord stored messages from users (for brevity, assuming that's personal data), made it searchable and available as long as the user exists on the platform, provided that they specify this as the purpose of processing, and the user explicitly gave informed consent. Should Discord want to perform any other processing besides that designated purpose, they would (again) have to receive the user's explicit, informed consent. Otherwise, it's simply not allowed.

No need to remove messages in such a case. Of course, technically they could process that data for a different purpose than specified, but that's illegal and may eventually result in a fine that can be based on a percentage of total global revenue.

Not profit or loss, revenue. Then suddenly it becomes a really interesting business decision to do other than defined things with the data at hand.
