I find it rather distasteful that the author chose to drag in an unsupported theory about Phong's tragic illness and death. The school cited was several miles from the closest of the three locations mentioned (Tan Son Nhut), and the military wasn't spraying Saigon.

Is it possible he was heavily exposed during the two years when that would have been possible? Many things are possible, of course. Is there any evidence whatsoever? I've been unable to find any citations to that effect. Certainly the author didn't bother.
That makes sense. It doesn’t make sense why you wouldn’t simply correct for that, or why having 2 sensors wouldn’t fix it?
>> "[Mr Altman] told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and AI,"

We don't want to be confortable. We do not want to be persuaded, or charmed.-

We want to question - and rightly so - every single aspect of it, and "we", the users, want a voice. We want to think and work through this "transition".-

PS. The use (abuse) of "reproductive", "charismatic" imperatives in order to shortcircuit, avoid, or minimize scrutiny (which is what this is) is sleazy at best.-

I fear the single most important technological transition made by mankind, if this is what AGI comes out of in the end, is handled by our least morally capable, as recent events are showing. I for one am concerned ...
There's also a huge difference between "presenting information" and "presenting actionable information". If a display is required to complete a task it doesn't really matter what it [aesthetically] looks like.

Okay then, why focus on major sites? Surely we should care about minor sites as well..?
The Amiga Workbench Simulation
Strategic timing for the release of this paper. As of last week OpenAI looks weak in their commitment to _AI Safety_, losing key members of their Super Alignment team.
LLMs can reasonably reason, however they differ in that once an output begins to be generated, it must continue along the same base set of logic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not believe it can stop and think to itself that there is something wrong with the output and that it should start over at the beginning or backup to a previous state before it outputted something incorrect. Once its output begins to hallucinate it has no choice but continue down the same path since its next token is also based on previous tokens it has just outputted
Elon Musk Reveals Plan to Solve World's Water
Only bested by communist propaganda. I'm not a libertarian. I'm also not one to be berated into professing that the opposite of disapproving of ever more taxes is libertarianism nor anything else. The justification for ever more taxes can be intellectually contested on its face.
What they "have to do SOMETHING" about is deal with a threat that aims to kill tens of thousands (more if hamas had their way) of their own, so I don't think you can just say that doesn't apply here.

It would be nice if one side could break the cycle of responding to violence with more violence, but that seems unlikely to happen, especially when one side is essentially defined by their intent of violence towards the other.

Israel backing out (removing settlements) and allowing for Palestine self governance isn't going to magically make hamas be nice. Israel would only agree to that kind of measure if they got to maintain some amount of influence over the region so that they could have some reasonable confidence that they can at least assess active threats against them. And suddenly we're back to 2005 Israeli disengagement, where they did withdraw their settlements in gaza and reduced their physical presence instead opting for trying to influence "remotely" while allowing Palestine to self-assemble it's governance. Turns out doing that is actually really hard, hamas took over anyway, and it landed everyone in the current mess.

Suggesting that they just do it again but trust me bro this time it'll work, or suggesting that what they really need to do is also relinquish any influence they have over the region is just not an idea that is going to make it off the ground. Some compromise related to it is probably what will happen, and we can all set our watches for the next iteration.

Again, it's almost like we're stumbling into how this is one of the trickiest geopolitical issues in the last hundred years
They sort of do. Hide the ribbon and most users still have all the features they need.
Sam wasn't fired for doing a bad job at YC, he was fired because the compensation structure wasn't something he was happy with, which is why he was also "double dipping" with his own funds into startups - something that was common at the time across the whole org. Jessica Livingston even went on to put money into his next project (OpenAI) which is also counter to the characterization in your perspective. He has tons of friends in high places that continue to put a lot of their money into Sam's coffers, because Sam is really good at making money for himself and others
I have a 38" curved wide screen with 1600 vertical pixels. It represents the peak of all the monitors I have bought over the last 25 years.

Me in the year 2000 with a 1024x768 17" CRT would be flabbergasted at the amount of wasted/underutilized space that exists today.

Vertical space is precious, and it's why I paid more to have those 1600 pixels. And then Microsoft decides to not only enlarge the taskbar, but to not provide an option to turn it back to normal. I have to resort to hacks to wrangle MS Windows (primarily a Desktop OS the last time I looked) back down to size and reclaim my vertical space.
Student could upload their own material, which I think is fine as long as you use it personally. The intention was to connect to the school system with all course materials, but that never took place.

You can complete the construction projects with minimal hassle and on time if you hire experienced demolition contractors in Fremont. Professionals ensure demolition projects are completed efficiently and safely and comply with regulations. Demolition is not a DIY task. Knowledge about structural integrity, safe handling of hazardous material, and proper dismantling techniques are beyond the expertise of an average person. Correct disposal and handling of waste will help to minimize environmental impact. Demolition contractors have diverse experience in the field which enables them to efficiently complete a wide range of projects.

> 128 bit address space is overkill, but I wonder if a hardware-backed 128 bit integer type would be useful for bit twiddling - or whether spreading the bits over two 64-bits integers is 'good enough' assuming that both halfs reside in the same cache line, and it's unlikely that a single bit twiddling operation needs to affect both halfs.

Don't we already have that? My reading of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions is that AVX starts at 128-bit and goes up from there.

Cost-Minded Organizations Can Control Cloud Migration Expenses
Inexperienced IT managers often hastily migrate to the cloud, moving their entire on-premises infrastructure in one go. Instead, you need to find a balance between quick fixes and long-term transformation benefits. Micro-change management can become your magic pill and give you the superpower you need to overcome this challenge.
No, if you happen to sound like a celebrity there's nothing stopping you from making your own way in the acting world. You should be careful not do anything that looks like you are deliberately trying to pass yourself off as that celebrity or profit from their persona, though.

Like, for example, voicing an AI chatbot when that celebrity, one of the most highly paid in the world, has previously starred in a famous movie as an AI chatbot. And especially when the makers of the chatbot have repeatedly publicly referenced the movie as inspiration in creating the chatbot and have publicly pointed out the similarity between their chatbot and the movie. And especially when the makers of the chatbot have approached that celebrity to ask to use her persona and been denied.

Because if you do that you might just get your arse sued off.

They showed reduced sperm count in a dose-dependent manner in dogs. More plastic, less sperm.

Umm, I also found it to be a remarkably bad analogy.

More accurate would be something like:

"The chef instructor telks us every time we cook this flaming oil dish that can flame over unpredictably at any time so we should wear the welding helmet whenever possible. And I didn't bother and found it surprising."

Seriously, they tell us EVERY TIME ti wear seat belts at all times when seated. They don't do it just to annoy, confuse, or mislead the passengers. The only surprising thing to me is that such deaths are not more frequent. Despite efforts to predict turbulence, the forces at play when flying 600mph are insane in relation to the human body.

We need to respect that, because physics really DGAF about our opinions.

Harsher punishments are not as important as reliable enforcement. Harsh punishments that are reliably enforced are very effective, but we generally can get a "good enough" result with more moderate punishments, reliably enforced.
I feel the same way. When I look at my aging Apple computer(s) I think about all the annoying OS choices that they made that are difficult or impossible to configure away or work around, and I tell myself, "That's it. My next computer will not be Apple!" But, then I look and see the shit that every other manufacturer offers and I can't believe how bad it all is. The hardware is mostly cheap, cheesy, flimsy, plastic garbage, and the software choices are 1. Windows which is so intrusive and user-hostile that I consider it malware and 2. Linux which has been perpetually "will be ready for prime time about 2 years from now." The last time I upgraded Debian on my home lab server, it failed and I had to boot in single user mode to carefully fix it so it would even boot.

Fortunately, Apple's hardware almost always 2X+ outlasts its software support, so I won't have to make an actual buying decision for many years.
Go further in this analysis. How, precisely? Congress is so beholden to special interest groups with a stake in plastic, from petrochemicals to bottling industries, that it seems paralyzed to do anything about it. Does the American government have the regulatory authority to halt plastics absent legislation? It does not seem to be so.

What other ways aside from depending on government?

The direct translation of the C expression to Lisp would actually be (-> a (-> b (-> c d))), which is fine to read from left to right as well. As lispm said, this can be reduced to (-> a b c d) due to the flexibility of prefix operations.

The direct translation of the Lisp expression you shared to C would be: d(c(b(a))), which just like the Lisp expression, evaluates from the middle out. Both are fine to read from left to right though.

This is exceptionally cool. Not only is it very interesting to see how this can be used to better understand and shape LLM behavior, I can’t help but also think it’s an interesting roadmap to human anthropology.

If we see LLMs as substantial compressed representations of human knowledge/thought/speech/expression—and within that, a representation of the world around us—then dictionary concepts that meaningfully explain this compressed representation should also share structure with human experience.

I don’t mean to take this canonically, it’s representations all the way down, but I can’t help but wonder what the geometry of this dictionary concept space says about us.

In the fisheries case, that would mean all the fish in North America would be dead. I'm not even joking. No senator is going to bother funding research for a fishery that is an afterthought in their district.

A more pertinent example would be encryption. It is only through extensive industry lobbying that lawmakers have not mandated backdoors yet.

Every single interest is moneyed. Ultimately it's still a democracy and the lawmaker's job is to get votes, not run a multi-discipline research team.
There’s still hope! We recently published a paper where we interviewed instructors about their concerns of AI tools in the classroom and then we deployed one.

> This terrifies me. How are we supposed to avoid plastic when it's literally EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING?!??!?!

You can always reduce the intake and your microplastic footprint. Avoid buying food in plastic packaging, use glass or steel containers for food at home, drink tap water with a good filter. Do not buy cheap clothes with synthetic fibers, install filter for your washing machine to reduce the release of microplastic. Shift your lifestyle to minimalism, reduce unnecessary consumption, maximize use of things, choose wood, glass or metals over plastic in things you buy. Smaller houses or apartments will also result in less consumption and plastic contamination.
That Yahoo screenshot really took me back.
Yeah fair, I've never actually used an eGPU so it's tough for me to directly endorse them. I know people who have had pretty good luck with them but I don't really know many game devs so I don't know how well they would actually work with that.

The only thing I do that gives serious use to the GPU is hobbyist video editing, and I don't do that terribly often anymore. I do sometimes run Stable Diffusion, but that's mostly as a goof to generate funny pictures of Keanu Reeves. For that stuff, I think even a relatively cheap GPU does the job well enough.
I have finally gotten around to Sartor Resartus, now very obvious why a lot of the greats talked highly about this book. Very well written (and works fine as a standalone without needing to have read Carlyle's other works).
Yep, right here on this forum you'll have people argue that we can't know they're bad because:

1. Ethically you can't really do interventional studies where you're putting pretty well-established toxins into people

2. Practically you can't do observational studies very well because a) observational studies generally are atrocious, especially for understanding intake of a substance and its biological effects and b) there aren't any natural control groups because the entire globe has microplastics

3. We can ignore the fact that in-vivo and animal studies show very similar effects as to what we're seeing at population-scale in humans, because... well there are other variables that are hard to control for (and it'd be super inconvenient to have to refactor these out of our global supply chain)
That is nice.

But then why do fiber optic cables work? The data does need to be turned into photons, and back from photons into electrons at some point. So all of that has switching and has been done for a long time.

Guess maybe lot of people like me are wondering why the technology for fiber optic cables can't be scaled down further to be used on chips.

He claimed he did it to secure Sierras financial future, but didn't see it as an issue when CUC refused to share its financial data.

It might be a hindsight thing, but it seems that at least nowadays larger companies spend a lot of time going over finances and other economic data before they agree to that kind of deal.

> If the purchasing company hadn't been a fraud

They could have been completely honest and still been in a state where the buyout itself would have been enough to break both. Wouldn't be the first time a company overextended itself.

The Polish Paradox
It all comes down to the relationship between social media and freedom of expression.

If we view social media as simply a private service, then these companies have the right to do whatever they want. Businesses have the right to refuse service for any reason.

But if we view social media as a utility similar to telephones, then free expression should be protected. People can say whatever they want over phone and text.

I lean towards the latter. Social media has become the new public square/agora/forum. Yes, its still owned by private enterprise, but it's basically the new town hall at this point.

I suspect above poster wrote zionism as a way to refer to neo-zionism, since people often mistakenly call nzo-zionist proponents that way.

The gist of the idea is that zionism is a "dead" ideology already, since it has reached its goal of creating a state. The remaining question about it is whether Israel should adhere to post-zionism or to neo-zionism.

Most people in the west opposing the current situation would probably fall in the post-zionist category if they were told about the concept.
Reminds me of when I lived on a sailboat. I just bought the LLC that owned it, which always operated at a loss just to keep the ship in working order, which was a tax write off. It even came with accountants who knew how to keep everything in the books “correct.”
