I understood "rise of AGI" as if preceded by "uncontrolled": a runaway intelligence that ultimately turns against its creators. In that sense, yes, those movies do include this theme.

Your comment makes sense if you intend "rise of AGI" as just growth. But then why should it be a concern?
[Lazard is BS based exclusively on Vogtle-3/4]

>Citation?

This is v16, April 2023, the most recent I could find,

https://www.lazard.com/media/2ozoovyg/lazards-lcoeplus-april...

Page 5, Footnote (3)

"Given the limited public and/or observable data set available for new-build nuclear projects and the emerging range of new nuclear generation strategies, the LCOE presented herein represents Lazard’s LCOE v15.0 results
adjusted for inflation (results are based on then-estimated costs of the Vogtle Plant and are U.S.-focused)"

So v15 is the same. v14 has been withdrawn.

What's really funny is that this footnote has always been there, in plain sight. Yet everyone quotes the Lazard figures as if they were gospel. And if they don't name the source, it's always Lazard anyway.

> [LCOE] doesnt count the cost of load following,

Maybe that as well, but more significantly, it doesn't count system costs, which rise dramatically as more and more of your power generation capacity becomes intermittent.

I don't see exactly where the cutoff is, but most of the industrialized nations seem to betting it's around 80%. The number will obviously vary depending on how willing you are to take on risk. Germany is currently going all-in on that, so I guess the other countries can wait and see how that experiment works out.
Society can't be built with the idea that everything has to work for the most troubled and challenging individuals.

We build cars, even though some alcoholics drive drunk. We could make cars safer for them by mandating a steering wheel lock with breathalazyer for every car, but we choose to not do that because it's expensive.

We have horror movies, even though some people really freak out from watching horror movies, to the point where they have to be placed in mental asylums for extended periods of time. We could outlaw horror movies to reduce the strain on these mentally troubled individuals, but we choose to not do that because horror movies are cool.

Most training modules are dry and clinical. This one is the opposite. Many people are killed, dismembered, and otherwise mutilated.

I think the combination of good comedy and vividly illustrated consequences makes Klaus far more effective and memorable than the average corporate training module that OP is discussing.
I wasn't making an accusation about why Leike/Sutskever left, though I definitely understand why you read my comment that way.

The actual accusation I am making is that someone at OpenAI knew the risks of GPT-4o and Sam Altman didn't care. I am confident this is true even without spies in the boardroom. My guess is that Leike or Sutskever also knew the risks and actually did care, but that is idle speculation.
That's precisely why I added emojis. In early versions of the game, the starvation levels were only represented by colors.
Are the same embeddings not used internally? I thought they were. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Mistral uses a 1024 dimension embedding for 8K context. I think the point about trying to capture that rich of a context into a smaller number of dimensions still stands?
My very amateur understanding is that the MAX would have been dead on arrival if it required recertification. It was a marginal bump in fuel efficiency that still lagged behind Aerobus, so their only real marketing strategy was not having to recertify.

Basically either it didn’t require recertification or it wasn’t worth making. I suspect somewhere along the line they realized that wasn’t practical and they either shipped a shoddy project and maybe burned a pile of money or they gave up and definitely burned a smaller but still sizable pile of money.

Probably also some worry that if they didn’t have a competitive smaller plane, they’d lose market share and there’d be even less interest in their next plane.
It is in fact weighted toward the higher tier. However, I intentionally wanted to keep a reasonable gap between the two plans (< 30%) to not undervalue or overvalue one or the other.

Harm is based on all risks not just the metrics that make what you care about look better. 60% of American adults drink regularly so extreme edge cases happen, but they aren’t anywhere close to the risks from car accidents etc.

Risk of death is significant, but we’re talking under 0.1% per year.

Neither of these takes is necessarily incorrect. Officially yes, out of the box it's 1x PCIe 2.0 and you get ~500 MB/s. There is also an boot flag to switch the PCIe from 2 to 3 and it doubles the speed to ~1000 MB/s. That mode is not officially certified as PCIe 3.0 compliant though due to the way its run but it seems to work for just about anything so long as you don't use a really long ribbon cable. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/forcing-pci-express-g...
> Evidence points in this direction, though.

>

> Different methods of therapy appear to be equally effective despite having theoretical foundations which are conflicting with each other. The common aspect between different therapies seems to be "having someone to talk to", so I'm inclined to believe that really is what's behind the success.

Just because talking is the common trait, doesn't mean that that's evidence that that is all it is. Paying someone to help you with the problem is also a common trait (and ironically, that is, no doubt, a contributory factor), but that isn't all that therapy is.

Let's say that there are three ways to solve a problem, and depending on context that we're not terribly good at determining, one of those ways will work quite often, one will work some of the time, and the other will be a disaster... but there's an equal probability that each of those ways are equally likely to fall in to each of those categories. Statistically, one could claim that how you solve the problem is not behind the success. In a sense, that would be correct, because the real determinant of success would be being lucky with the solution you chose to employ. While one could imply though that really it's nothing more than being lucky at choosing the solution, in reality without all of what's involved in that choice, the problem will remain.

Does anyone else feel the opposite?

I can much more easily intuit how others feel and synthesize hypotheses on why they behaved the way they did than I can with myself. I have an infinite number of framings and reframings to choose from when it comes to my own behavior that it's difficult to objectively choose. I constantly ask myself how do I know that my own model isn't unconsciously avoiding negative feelings or conversely biased toward being too critical? So much so that I simply give up more than I like to admit.

I think most of the "fuck yous" where you just simply get dropped at the main Broadcom page is because most enterprise sites just redirect what would be a 404 to the main landing page.

I hate that pattern because it's super confusing. Did I click the wrong link? Just tell me you can't find that page.

Many enterprise websites undergo so many retools that search engines trying to drop you off at a specific page would just 404 everything (even the main page if it's something like `example.com/main/en/index.php`), so the 404 redirect is "required". Then one company buys another, then all example.net/useful/docs links are translated to example.com/useful/docs links, which 404, which redirect to example.com's front page.
Yeah, emoji on top of color is redundant and less legible. I find that people that use emojis for dashboards and the like tend to overuse them, but I agree with GP in that a single (well aligned and on an adequately colored background for contrast) emoji per item can convey a lot of info quite efficiently.

I had that problem with ASP.NET back in the day. The creators seemed to think it was impossible to properly escape user HTML against Javascript injections and sometimes you just had to destroy bad strings completely.

It was trashing API keys and passwords which is a problem when "the customer can't log in". I didn't have a hard time disabling this behavior at all though. My feeling is that it is impossible to "live with it" because I didn't know exactly what rules I had to follow to not get strings corrupted.

For a corporation who doesn’t exist in reality one of the most tangible punishments possible is monetary penalties plus behavioral commitments with teeth. It’s not like they’re going to put the Boeing HQ in a prison complex or something.

Deferred prosecution saves a lot of money and time, on both sides, as well as deflects some amount of discovery. It also leaves a sword of Damocles over them that if they don’t reform everything they hoped to avoid by paying all that money comes back upon them and worse.

This feels like a pretty effective way to punish and attempt to reform a corporation. The fact Boeing is so managed by the accountants that even their lawyers can’t convince them to stop cutting corners and trying to get away with substandard work to juice EPS is baffling though. The fact literally everyone on earth knows this is the problem yet they are still appointing a new airplanes unit CEO that is an accountant doubly so.

All of these things are beside the point here because none of them form the basis on which criminal proceedings are being considered by the DOJ. Without the information hiding and misrepresentation, there is no basis, regardless of either the physics or the economics of the issue.

In addition, even if it is true that regulators have now allowed Boeing and the airlines to treat the 737 MAX family as much more closely related to earlier 737’s than they actually are, this is not the basis of the DOJ's investigation, either.

Not even close to the worst. The worst I see is a major brick&mortar retail chain that has been trying to do online for years.

Part of their execution problems might be misleading metrics. Their "how was our service?" followup emails aren't sent for the routine (around 50%) fulfillment fudge-ups that backend should've prevented. Nor for occasional checkout breakage that fails with signs of multiple things that are simply being done incorrectly. So I have the nagging thought that someone might be hitting their KPIs/OKRs, and the right people aren't aware what a dumpster fire they're operating.

I wonder whether Amazon could've already eaten the online component of that category, with their overall superior competence and (selective) customer focus, if they didn't have the counterfeits indifference/misalignment problem, and worsening reputation for quality and caring about the customer.

Well done!

It is exactly the correct approach — especially with the dataset potentially changing at each iteration, treating it as a contiguous sequence of executions is wrong anyways. Plus, you should always strive to reduce state as much as possible.
Yeah but economics is fundamentally shaped by the theories that validate and authorize the rich to be as rich as they want.

The field of economics is fatally poisoned by it. I'm obviously pretty cynical about the dismal conscience, particularly because it has proven almost useless in crafting broad policy in the age of global warming and sharp environmental decline.

Quite to the contrary "economics" has been used to maximize consumption, and has little application in any other context.

Any real genius of economics would tear the whole teetering tower of self importance to the ground.
I don't buy her position at all. But...

If she's right that she could save $7500 a year by renting a car when she needs one, she could in fact own nothing (or at least, not a car) and be happy - or at least $7500/yr happier.

I wrestle with buying a boat or an RV. Buying feels like buying an "asset", whereas renting feels like throwing money away. But the actual fact is that, for as often as I would use either one, renting is by far the better move. It just doesn't feel like it to me.

The WEF is not an organization that I trust, but in this particular kind of case, the numbers may work out in favor of their position.

Thank you for responding. I have to admit I do in general trust the Fed, and retract my point until I can find out what the differences are.

I think you also have to take into account differences in private spending When comparing capacity for taxation. It's one thing to pay 45% taxes when that includes Healthcare and pensions, and another to pay 45% plus another 10-20%.

I think it matters both who you tax and what you do with it. You can outrace continual debt spending with positive Roi Investments but not negative ROI.
There may be a kernel of truth in this, but it depends on why you're seeing a therapist. For treatment of OCD, for example, or phobias, there are specific protocols that yield results, but they do not respond to just "having someone to talk to."

Other kinds of conditions, like depression and anxiety, respond to a wider range of therapy styles. But those aren't the only conditions that people seek to treat through talk therapy. (And it's also an exaggeration to say that just having any conversation will help to treat anxiety and reopression. But it is probably true that treatment of these conditions is less technical and responds to a much wider range of styles.)
> They’re clearly not doing more than anyone given that their emissions rate per capita and as a proportion of industrial output keeps climbing.

> China now emits more than 60% as much per capita as the US, where thirty years ago it was more like 5%

China was very poor and has been developing... It does not mean that they aren't doing a lot, and probably more than the US do.

> In fact, China’s emissions have been so high in the past thirty years that their total emissions are now also up to more than half of all US emissions since 1850.

Chinas has more than 1.4 billion people now while the US have 333 million and 23 million in 1850... Still China will never reach the emissions per capita level that the US did in the past.

> China is a bad emitter and has already contributed more to global warming than anyone other than the US

That's a highly disingenuous claim, again ignoring population and development, as well as size of global economy.

If you keep ignoring that China has a massive population and is still a developing country, with inhabitants still poorer on average than Europeans and Americans then there cannot be an honest discussion.

What's the US' "excuse" for emitting more than even the EU per capita? They have the best technology and unlimited funds. But, oh yes, it's China who's the bad emitter...
> The only problems cars solve are problems caused by cars.

Can you explain? If I want to visit a friend 60mi away and I choose to drive my car, how did my car cause the problem?

An argument could be made that if cars didn't exist then I wouldn't know that friend at all, which I suppose does in a sense mean that a car caused my problem, but I don't think that's a great argument.

> The convenience you get comes at an unmeasured cost.

Are you referring to city planning, climate change, or something else?

> Car owners are selfish.

Everyone, by necessity, is selfish. For example, every month I have the choice of paying my rent or donating that same money to charity. I (very understandably) choose to pay my rent, which is a selfish decision. This isn't a bad thing. The key is to not be overly selfish.

Owning a car is not overly selfish, though I'd like to know why you think it is.
> putting out a competing statement blaming or contradicting your customer is a bad look with that customer and with all future customers.

I don't buy it. Google could explain what the customer did to shoot itself in the foot and how GCE will modify the UX to hide the footgun. Instead, it just says that the customer had a unique configuration. That sounds like a GCE bug.

As I've said many times before, Google doesn't use GCE for critical applications, so you shouldn't either. Amazon and Microsoft use AWS and Azure respectively, but you should carefully consider which cloud services they offer are also used internally.
