One critique that glares in my face is "you changed the textbooks via hackers and now my children's development is your fault". These accusations fly when money (e.g. big textbook starts a media campaign) is on the line. As such, these interactive apps need to be able to handle that level of criticism if in a public school (before college).

These applications probably need to be client side only enabled and a hash that agrees to the hash of the "approved curriculum" for most parents to think that this might be okay, or a read-only USB rental from the school library that gets verified when it is checked back in.

I will not let the government install unknown tech on my computer, but I am willing to download a read only file. I do not want to have my children learning "new math" and be able to point at the technology as the problem "because hackers" or some other BS that has sounds true but has a high amount of effort to disprove coming while chatting with parents at a bus stop or PTA meeting.

I can confirm this is 100% correct. Anyone who doubts it just needs to compare quality of old editions of SciAm from before 2000 and those after 2000. The decline in quality is stark.
Raw 1x: Tesla FSD 12.3.6 is smooth and humanlike [video]
I'm keen to see how this is going, and I've managed to find a "good" video. Maybe I (or someone else) could post a "bad" video of the same version.

(Apologies for the post title; I'd have made it a bit more neutral, but I think the guideline is to use the page/video title where possible.)
Thanks, you are saying you are hosting Postgres on a dedi server right? That’s what you offer? Any master-master or master-slave setup or just Postgres?

You might want to change some wording on the site if that’s the case; now it looks like something more than it is I guess? I mean; taking a larger dedi server than you run would make that ‘the fastest’ no?
I'm guessing I've done 6 in-place upgrades over the last decade and have yet to have one fail.

Cars and transportation more broadly is under heavy regulation and political control. Part of it for obviously good reason. The rest of it for not so good reason.

There should be innovation in vehicle form and size now that electric batteries and motors have become cheap and abundant; cars such as the depicted would already be whizzing around town if we were free to buy them but of course we are not.

Perhaps innovation will happen outside the west where the politics of this is less locked down by special interests and overall conservatism.
FNAF was the final nail in the coffin. For some reason, they did not like that animatronics are now associated with child-murdering terror machines.
I'm not against the number, I'm against the methods and abusers.

If each of those 85k had a wage floor of $300k, I'd feel better about the entire program, and less like it was a price fixing method. And at that point I'd advocate for removing the cap altogether.

In short, allow companies to import as much talent as they desire, as long as we're sure it's not for nefarious reasons.
What do you propose instead? Why should users always accept and agree with the Debian maintainers' choices, even if they're dumb and produce insecure software? Why should being a volunteer give you a get out of jail free card?

"probably"?

It's a legal document that lists the things you may not do as vaguely and as broad as possible, and lists suing you as the first recourse in their remediation.

It's unwise to err on the side of "allowed" instead of erring on the side of "disallowed".

>I work in a Telco Fortune500

Sorry to hear that friend ;o) I hope that the pay is good/useful and your work environment is positive.

>great argument for why telcos didn't innovate.

I really think it is all down to not having the money. Regulation, legacy costs and costs required to sustain the core business have drained telcos of all cash. I think that this has been especially painful for Europe and is political - for example in the UK there was even a special tax to claw back £600m from BT at one point. Add in the costs of 3G licenses which must have been £30b or more overall then you can see why Europe doesn't have a competitive technology sector built on it's telco heritage. This all happened during the .com boom when Amazon and Google were evolving - imagine what would have happened in Europe if even 30% of that cash had been available to support innovation.
> There's no way that a book or blog post breaches any patents.

This is one of the most intriguing ancient mysteries, and is sufficiently well grounded in engineering practice that it can be experimentally validated. Things like the hardness of the cutting edge, the RPM required to mimic the drill markings, the shape and progression of the drill bit etc.

So, it's reasonably clear that the bronze-age Egyptians must have had some drilling rig for boring hard stone - one which operated at 1,000 rpm or similar and could make an impression into something like quartz. All the ancient aliens nonsense aside, this rig in itself must have been quite impressive in itself - probably a composite of pulleys and ropes with a tubular emery-embedded cutting bit. Would have loved to have seen it working!
I agree. This is a rare gift of truth and honesty in advertising.

You might not like what the industry is doing but don't kill the messenger: they just gave you a short glimpse behind the curtain. The company will keep the same goals even after they give their ad team sensitivity training.
I use Arch on my desktop and it's definitely more up-to-date than stable. The Plasma 6 upgrade rendered one install a black screen and I've had to rescue installs because I wasn't on top of Arch News.

The most equitable way to fix this is instead of reducing benefits to 83% of normal across the board, they should reduce the benefits for the rich who do not need it anyway.
Doubtless there are some four year olds to whom some people could teach chess. However, I'd say that learning chess, beyond how the pieces move, was an extraordinary level of competence for a 4 year old.
Its also missing how speacalists with traits and hyperfocus are the driving force behind a ton of research. Then again having a retarded kid is like having a 60 ton weight attached to you for life. Yes, yes, we are not allowed to say this, but thats easily said by those who don't wear the weights.
Reference Counting with Linear Types
There's an easy fix for that. You tell the government how much it is worth for tax purposes. If the government thinks you have underestimated it they reserve the right to buy it at that price.

It would make tax evasion risky and expensive.
I guess that officially ends my string of childhood heroes. It does give rise to organise a summer evening Corman marathon with my friends.
> Typically you would do a uniform (-x, x) and then take the limit.

But this is completely uninformative for the interval (-inf, +inf). Taking limits is a tool you can use, and it works well when the infinite behavior matches the limit of the finite behavior. The opposite is the case here and the infinite behavior is radically unlike the finite behavior. You might as well try to determine the value of an impulse function at zero by seeing what the limit is as you approach zero.
Well, are there _any_ calculators out there that use Taylor expansions?

What's true is determined by the scientific method. You can make as many theories as you want but if you can't make predictions based on that theory and devise experiments to verify those predictions, and perhaps most importantly, be open to abandoning your theory when even a single one of those experiments doesn't pan out, all you have done is shot an arrow in the dark and claimed it could have hit the target. Yes, but that information is nearly useless, and definitely can't be put on the same pedestal as someone providing actual evidence that the arrow missed the target.
Remember, the article is talking about people with profound disability, not people who can comment in forums. I think it would be fantastic _if_ there's a set of markers in a young infant that can be acted on preventing non-verbal, constantly in terror, withdrawn inmates of special hospitals. I don't think they're talking about my dislike of telephones, or fear of shopping centers, or frequent confusion with figurative versus literal language.

Even though the last thing has got me in fights more than once. Fights that are sudden, surprising and unwarranted to me, but completely expected given how I reacted to what someone said.

For athletes and co., sustainability isn't even an idea thought about. Like, I've built quite a few bikes and I've rode with some of the world's best MTBers/cyclists: not once has someone proposed, "How can we make this bike more environmentally friendly?" It's a concept that exists squarely within the minds of some commuters and environmentalist nerds. I'm not making a counterargument: I'm saying, don't expect to win over the enthusiast market if your suggestion is "Buy a heavier (i.e. non-carbon) bike."

> In addition, many carbon-intensive bicycles are bought for recreation and are not meant to replace cars at all – they may even involve more car use as cyclists drive out of town for a trip in nature. In all those cases, emissions go up, not down.

I'm impressed: In discussions about cycling, cyclists always get lumped together, and the default assumption is cyclist = commuter, and cycling = less emissions = good. Except that in reality, Dave is transporting 1-2 $10k+ bikes on his 8-15 MPG modified Jeep Wrangler, 3-7 times per week, for drives that he otherwise wouldn't perform.
Creative Commons as a license basically says "if copyright says you need permission to do something, you can do it, subject to these conditions". If training is fair use then Creative Commons explicitly does not restrict AI training, period. If it's not fair use then the model authors have to provide proper attribution and a CC-BY-SA license declaration on their model.

For billions of text posts. Good luck. With that.

On the surface Creative Commons licenses are "AI-friendly" - in that they exist to opt-out of parts of copyright protection - but in practice AI goes against the spirit of Creative Commons so heavily that actually complying with it is impossible. If your attribution string requires its own search engine, maybe it's not effective attribution?

For the record I don't think training is going to be fair use. The AI model you're training is usurping the market for new art/writing/etc, and there's a clear chain of provenance from the training data to the final model and specific outputs (in at least some cases, e.g. "draw a 1970s scifi robot" giving you C3PO).

Someone arranged for the robots to sing me a song. I'm pretty sure that's my most memorable adult birthday. I find absurdity deeply entertaining.

A Simpler Alternative to Neural Nets
This is one area i believe laws are needed to warp the market. If it costs $0.50 more to make a compostable container, you can bet most companies will buy the cheap plastic.

I’m shocked at the single use waste that can be found in the restaurant industry. One of my favorite places used plastic for everything: cutlery, plates, cups. Their trash bins would be filled every day, and for what? To save a few cents? I feel customer facing plastics should all be compostable as a first step, if also for its social awareness impact.

What’s the best way to develop good policy? Pin point a few industries with maximum benefit/minimum cost to legislate for and expand from there? Or write a more holistic law that the entire population could then collectively weasel around, but it would be “fair” and “make sense”?

We're aiming to release this half, so in a month or so, on all desktop platforms, mobile will follow shortly after.

Then we'll gradually optimize (e.g. enable the use of more hardware encoders, decoding being generally in hardware at launch of supported) release after release, but generally almost everything will be supported at launch.

Perhaps its where I live, or the people I know, but at my kids pre-school, I suspect that few 4 year olds could play naughts and crosses to a draw. I think that sort of awareness started around 5.5-6, where it became more normal.

Gobblet Gobblers -- on a cursory look -- seems to me like a complication on top of naughts and crosses. Namely, adding the ability to mask opponent pieces, and replace existing pieces.

As a side note it seems to me that one could replicate Gobblet Gobblers by using coloured coins of 3 sizes, with the smaller coins trumping the bigger ones thereby implying stacks.
With all the positive comments here, I feel like someone should play the role of the downer.

First of all, it's inevitable that LLMs will be/are used in this way and it's great to see development and discussion in the open! That's really important.

Secondly, this will absolutely destroy some areas of science even more than they have already been.

Why? First, science as all of humankind is always a balance between benevolent and malevolent actors. Science already battles data forgery, p-hacking and replication issues. Giving researchers access to tools like this will mean that some conventional quality assurance processes will fail hard. Double-blind peer review will no longer work when there are 10:1 or 100:1 AI generated to high-quality submissions.

Second, doing analysis and writing a paper is one bottleneck of science, but epistemologically, it's not the important one. There are innumerable ways to analyze extant data and it's completely moot to do any analysis in this way. Simmons, Nelson and Simonsohn / Gelman et al. etc have shown: Given a dataset, (1) the findings you can get are practically always from very negative effects to very positive effects, depending on the setup of the analysis. So having one analysis is pointless, especially without theory. (2) even when you give really good labs the same data and question, almost nobody will get the same result (many labs experiment).

What does this tell us? There are a few parts of science that are extremely important and without them science is not only low-impact, it even has a harmful effect by creating costs for pruning and distilling findings. The really important part are causal analyses, and they practically always involve data collection. That's why sciences with strong experimental traditions fare a bit better - when you need to run a costly experiment yourself in order to publish a paper, this creates a strong incentive to think things through and do high-impact research.

So yeah, we've seen this coming and it must create a big backlash that prevents this kind of research from being published, even if vetted humans.

They're investigating the use of a drug that they don't understand to treat a condition that they don't understand...

You'd probably be shocked to figure out how often this happens - and it used to happen a lot more in no small part because we didn't have the tools we have today: MRIs and better microscopes and other tech has really helped our understanding of the body. We are still figuring out how exactly the body works, after all, to the point that we occasionally discover a new body part. Of course we are going to do things we don't understand. Yet.

This isn't limited to medicine, either.

Maybe they want something to prescribe. For a lot of diseases, that's better than nothing. For example, I have MS. They know more than they used to about MS, but most of my life they've not known enough. I have medicine that isn't a cure, but I'll take it. Modern medicines mean that modern folks with MS have a much better quality of life than folks that didn't have medications. I'm more likely to have mobility and things like that. I'll take it.

My ex was schizophrenic. Medicine gave them a life. They still couldn't work, but they weren't suffering as much either. Again, not a cure, but help.

Imperfect cures or medicines that treat the symptoms are so much better than no help at all. This is where a lot of medicine starts - treating a symptom, and by doing so learning a bit more about the disease or affliction.

I think a explicit AI-hostile / AI non-friendly license is needed which explicitly denies work being trained on. For the small minority who do not wish to feed the LLM, shortsighted maybe but I can see a group of people who are all for source available but not for AI.

I imagine most licenses that are AI restrictive indirectly can potentially be circumvented.
