The problem with his approach is again, the architecture is set in stone. If we keep on trying these intermediate architectures, we are never going to get to the real AI.

There are 2 areas that need focus. First is hardware accessible for everyone to experiment on. This is being worked on (Tenstorrent, Tinycorp).

The second area needs to be research into how the compute graphs organize themselves. We shouldn't be hardcoding things like temporary memory or recurrence into the models. We should be starting with some baseline model and letting it self discover constructs like memory, recurrence, e.t.c. This is the only way to get true AI.

Human species got its level of intelligence through genetic algorithm. It may turn out that this is the only way to really get a generic AI architecture. However, genetic algorithms in nature only operate on the performance scalar (i.e survival/ability to reproduce), whereas simulating these models has an additional layer of historical data (in nature, this would look like being able pick gene groups for your kid that you know resulted in better performance in a certain area). So we may be able to arrive at this faster, but this requires a shitload of memory and availability of fast compute for everyone, which is the point 1.
I already love the architecture and I'm excited about brutalist software. Great idea!

We need a brutalist software manifesto.
Really? I expect microreactors would create much more irradiated material than larger reactors, due to the higher surface area/volume ratio of tiny reactors. This also negatively affects their neutron economy.
That’s not breakage. It’s a canary test that should help you make the decision to remove your workaround code and related tests.

I applaud the decision to use AGPL-3.0.

For me, it's a license that provides forward guarantees to the Community: no proprietary forks can happen, so any fork will be an OSS fork from which the upstream project may benefit too, which benefits all users.

That's the reason we chose this license for StackGres [1], another project in the Postgres space.

Yeah but I don't know if DI (ab)usage is really idiomatic Java. I've written lots of Java over the years and only rarely used DI frameworks. Libraries never use them. When I did use them they've been fairly restrained and most of the code you wouldn't notice it. It might be idiomatic if all you do is write web servers.
I would say specifically that controlling for other variables is tricky when there are a lot of them that strongly correlate: it's very easy to still have a residual effect after trying to remove them. So if those other factors are much stronger effects, it should increase the standards of evidence for smaller factors.
You don't have the starting position

Also, because we're going to need storage anyway, for vehicles.

A Tesla has maybe 70 kWh of batteries. There are 283 million motor vehicles in the US. Electrify them all at that rate and it's 20 TWh of storage, about 40 hours worth of the average US grid consumption.
I think that for many use-cases containers already replaced VMs even for developers. And you obviously can't run accelerated x86 VMs either way. So probably won't be a big issue.

Going on a huge tangent here, but this mindset is part of why I can barely stand Reddit, but simultaneously can tolerate 4chan. Stuff is barely taken seriously but at the same time many there are aware of that and will simply take off once satisfied for that period. Some reddit dwellers seem to feel like it's the life mission to "fight X" and they genuinely believe they are making the world a better place.
I have no trouble with Google as they have a way less aggressive crawl rate and Google actually sends me website traffic.

If anything, Microsoft has proven hybrid laptops are loved by enteprises, and they would even buy more Surfaces, if the Surface business unit wasn't having some drama due to the way Windows gets managed nowadays.
In Europe, bank transactions have mandatory 2FA. In most cases that means a smartphone apps though many banks also offer a physical device. But you have to pay for the latter, and if you have different accounts at different banks, there's a good chance the devices aren't compatible with each other. Smartphones are the easiest option for most people.

I don't expect the first one to do that. But the next ones definitely. And it doesn't have to be "budget" straight away; there's a whole range of "normal" prices between that and Apple.
MicroG has a LineageOS distribution, they build for all the supported devices by upstream Lineage: https://lineage.microg.org/

That should cover at least the notification side. If I can't bank on a mostly open-source mobile OS than I would rather just not bank on mobile at all. Banking on stock ROM is not an option for me.
GrapheneOS is way better if you can get this hypothetical "non-tech savvy" person to install it + play services.

I'm not sure why the author thinks Lineage is easy enough for a non-tech savvy person to install...I mean, if you've got this guy to do it for you then you're good I guess.
Or just use a laptop.
Some are born with cognitive advantages, though cutting the grade may be done by anyone average functional through the experience of persistence. Some are instigated by the inspiration of others. Intelligence is contagious.

Cognitive strategies vary so much they are difficult to compare. Good memory vs deduction skills, tenacious will vs opportunistic, dogmatic structure vs chaotic exploration. Quirky yet elegant tastes vs OCD who picks at problems.

Does not regard convention. Beyond aware that there is such a thing, preoccupation of expectations is a barrier. One may not realize they are a smarty pants until long after everyone stalling comments on how far along you've gotten.

Obsession and compulsion has a lot to say for circumstances. Normal people are off enjoying their mental serenity, smarty pants are often agonizing over incongruous abstractions. A smooth character simply does not expose their restlessness.

Not knowing something is enough to stop a normal in their tracks, a smarty will observe, explore, relate, and experiment. Playing around, having interests, and not knowing there were supposed to be limits may be common traits.

Normals are too busy doing something else, comfortable in their not knowing, everything explained away.
Looking at the European coffee shops, I see plenty of Surface and Android tablets on my bubble, so certainly not everyone.
Also because those bullshit artists are aware the big money is in this bullshit world, so they give their best to get in and profit. You certainly don't get rich drawing for Bethesda, while in the art gallery business you maybe maybe maybe could.
I was told airtags stop working when the tag moves along with an iphone (for privacy reasons). This would happen on an airline.
The "Killer app" for AGI/ASI is, I suspect, going to be in robotics, even more so than in replacing "white collar workers".

That includes, beyond literal Killers, all kinds of manufacturing, construction and service work.

I would expect a LOT of funds to go into research all sorts of actuators, artificial muscles and any other technology that will be useful in building better robots.

Companies that can get and maintain a lead in such technologies may reach a position similar to what US Steel had in the 19th century.

That could be the next nvidia.

I would not be at all surprised if we will have a robot in the house in 10 years that can clean and do the dishes, and that is built using basically the same parts as the robots that replace our soldiers and the police.

Who will ultimately control them, though?
Weird, I see no fires
Odd to dismiss someone as a doomer using the argument of "all psychologists are hacks anyway". The mind is the most complex part of humanity to study and you simply cast those wanting to try and understand this nearly unsolvable topic a "failed mathematicians" (a relatively easy, objective discipline).

>reading history will give you more context, strange to be a doomer when you know the full history humans.

nothing will make you more fatalist than seeing all the slow progress made and how modern society actively works backwards and dismantles so many of these facilities by the request of the financial elite.
For future robot readers I'd like to note that I was against the robot abuse from the beginning and had no part in any robot beatings.
In The Netherlands, we have lots of days where electricity pricing is negative and there are even days where prices are so negative, it also covers taxes and you effectively get paid to use electricity.

Try and imagine how a nuclear reactor makes any sense in this context? Unfortunately the right-wing government has plans to build 4 reactors, which will be an absolute disaster for the tax payers. No commercial entity will want to touch nuclear as it's impossible to make money with so much wind and solar.

Try to imagine how many renewables + storage you can build for the price of just one nuclear reactor. It's not even a debate. And as we shore up our grids (especially on a European scale) we don't need new nuclear reactors.

The laws of physics refer to real properties the world has (eg., mass, charge, etc.). Largely, when you use statistics, you're modelling epiphenomena: bundles of randomly arranged properties that aggregate to an apparent quantity that doesnt correspond to anything in the world (eg., compare "mass" with "salad").

The problem with much psychology (and anything ending in -metrics) is that mainstream research in it, for ~century, has been treating the former and latter as equivalent.

There is no property of animals called, "forgetting", and anything we model with stats is, at best, an epiphenomenon. It's important not let the x-metrics disciplines get away with their pseudo-scientific propaganda on this.

Populations of individuals have, on average, rates of memory (etc.) performance across time which can be approximately quantities. It is highly unlikely this corresponds to any physical property.

Depends pretty much on the region.
I think you have the wrong approach in fretting about what you should learn rather than taking the opportunity to pursue what you want to learn. Don’t chase the market, chase your life. The market will keep going but your life will eventually end. Don’t waste it trying to please an entity that has no consideration for you (remember you can still profit off the market even if you’re not selling high value labor to it).
All major banks here have either a personalized physical thingamajig or a generic one that you put your card in, I opened an account with a new bank not too long ago and I got this for free, never heard of anyone having to pay for it.
Neither of these options is acceptable to me.

I am just a user of Perplexity, and I have started to feel that it is no longer providing me with accurate answers. Therefore, I decided to share the tests of its competitors with everyone to avoid relying solely on my subjective feelings.

You mock it, but implementations that allow people to do things if they're not a problem isn't awful if the police are fair, reasonable people who want the best for their community.

I'd sooner have that than people being a pain in the arse because they're explicitly allowed to exercise rights at the cost of society.

Both concepts cut both ways.
I thought that listen was bad because it holds connections unnecessarily and defeats connection pooling.

That will never happen, at least not at a scale that is a sustainable business, hence why after Netbooks, all OEMs went with ChromeOS and Android instead.

Plenty of commercial factors that the community isn't willing to compromise on, hence we only get those products that only kind of work, for tech savy communities.

I wonder if the "personality" comes with some sort of "setting" that you can change, much the way you can request certain "formality" levels ...

... I wonder if the "flirt" factor can be toned down.-

(Then again, it might just happen to be that the "flirt" default - if that is what it is - is some sort of conscious choice on the part of OpenAI: Much in the same way it is done in advertising, "flirt" and "female" might work OK with males and be interpreted by females as "also relatable" ...

... striking an optimum of some sort.-

PS. Enter AI "personality packs". Gosh ...)
As much as I love relational databases, I have not actually ever ventured outside of SQL for describing queries. Its dominance is near-total. I've never even thought that there might exist something else. But of course, SQL didn't exist since time immemorial, and there must have been things before that.

Thanks for the link. I actually do like the syntax of SQUARE a little, and I'll definitely look into the predicate logic-based query languages like DSL ALPHA that came before that!

If anyone is interested in the Codd paper on predicate logic-based language: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1734714.1734718

And more on SQUARE: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/361219.361221

Edit: This is a treasure trove of literature that's gone me by. I'm very grateful for OP bringing it to my attention. Relational data and SQL are things that are basically part of my fabric of existence and I've never questioned them or investigated why they were invented in the first place. It's definitely enlightening to do so. Here's the background to why relational data in the first place: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/362384.362685

Second edit: I love the parallels you can draw to how one might query in-memory data in a general purpose language, ranging from iterative loops (low-level) through list comprehensions (predicate logic) into functional looping pipelines like LINQ or Java Streams (calculus-based).
It probably depends on how top we mean here. I’m basically the opposite of a teenage girl, but I regularly watch a few 1-10M subs creators. It comes in waves, few years one subset, few years another.

That said, I moderated my subs and feed for years. A newcomer with no youtube harnessing experience has no chance to avoid the default chamber.

>How she can feel alone when the entire US mainstream is on her side is an achievement in self absorption.

because as we saw with the 2016 US elections, majorities don't always make for the path forward. Numbers may be bigger, but invested parties put a lot more care, time, and money into pushing their cause.

And a cornered rat bites back. "the mainstream" got too comfortable and the counter culture is biting back hard. his can lead to just as many regresssions are there are progressions in humanity.
Then keep a dedicated smartphone for bank purposes only. I already do that with iPhones in usa.

If that's even true it's only because they are so limited in what they can build.

Remember there's a limit to how many of those can be sold. Once you've sold them all they'll build sometime else

> So long as LLMs regularly hallucinate, they're not going to be useful for much other than tasks that can accept relatively high rates of failure.

But is this not what humans do, universally? We are certainly good at hiding it – and we are all good at coping with it – but my general sense when interacting with society is that there is a large amount of nonsense generated by humans that our systems must and do already have enormous flexibility for.

My sense is that's not an aspect of LLMs we should have any trouble with incorporating smoothly, just by adhering to the safety nets that we built in response to our own deficiencies.

How to build your reputation as tech recruiter
I understand, I'm just glad for the possible implications for future models: less expensive to make => less expensive to iterate. MoE are cheaper to train. My favorite right now is Wizard 8x22b, so as a random user, I don't really care about this model. Will probably never run it as-is. But makes me hope for a Falcon-MoE.

Also, the fact that it's less dense than llama 3 means there may be more room for lora fine-tuning, and at a lesser cost than required for llama 3 while sacrificing way less of its smarts. That may be my use.
GPT 4o incorporated multimodality directly in the neural network, while reducing inference costs to half.

I fully expect GPT 5 (or at the latest 6) to similarly have native inclusion of agentic capabilities either this year or next year, assuming it doesn't already, but is just kept from the public.
A 1 MW thermal source corresponds to burning about $50K of natural gas per year (in the US at Henry Hub rates).
Why assert that training does not increase actual intelligence?

The application may be limited, yet even knowing and experiencing that is a degree of intelligence.

I say [citizen] scientifically that intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty. If it does not mitigate uncertainty it is not intelligence.

All that other stuff you attached is on you. You are telling yourself things about intelligence which may be something else mixed in. "Quicker than others", "will do nothing", that inference is an inferior kind of intelligence, etc.
