Wanting free speech on internet forums is different from wanting it at the government level. I'm not sure what Free Speech Absolutism is, but if it means unmoderated internet forums, yeah that usually doesn't end well even if only a small minority has bad intent.

Big online forums with any kind of global popularity already have an inherent problem despite the moderation, not because of hate speech but because of ragebait and other forms of grifting. Especially with anonymous users.
> Running tests against a local Postgres instance with the same major.minor version and same extensions as your prod instance WILL work.

A team I worked with recently said the same thing. But, as I predicted, they ran into bugs because the CloudSQL Postgres was different than their Dockerized Postgres, even though it was the same core version.

There will always be testing problems you can't anticipate. Especially with systems that are not your own code. Just be ready to adapt your testing when it doesn't work as expected, and don't invest too much in the testing if it's not worth it.

Free speech doesn't mean you can force anyone to listen.

The government should not make any speech illegal on a federal level, but individual private businesses or websites (like HN) can still decide what's tolerated on their property.

And the corollary -- I believe in free speech but there are some people I'll never listen to, even though I believe in their right to speak.

If you need real time syslog, the syslog servers could be in the trusted zone and use syslog over TLS, limiting connections inbound to those that have proper certificates. [1] Also verify the firewall only permits the port you have syslog listening on. If your syslog clients support spooling, it is a good idea to do this should they get cut off from the trusted servers for a period of time. RSyslog supports spooling. Also make sure you enable TCP socket keepalive TCP since you are using TLS and socket keepalive since syslog is passing through a firewall.

Ensure the syslog servers are running some form of mandatory access controls, such as AppArmor or SELinux so that syslog can only read and write where it is expected to in the event someone or something attempts a 0-day buffer overflow and obviously keep everything up to date on patches.

If you do not need real time syslog and this is just for archival purposes then you can reverse the flow, reaching out to the DMZ from a trusted zone and pull in logs hourly, daily via rsync over SSH or Chroot SFTP-Only if you need further reduction of exposure. Rsync has options to read updated portions of the files if your logs get really big. The LFTP client using the mirror+sftp subsystems can partially replicate some behavior of Rsync for use in Chroot SFTP-Only environments.

We (and the Chinese) can deploy renewables (and storage) much faster than nuclear.

I suspect the only reason China is continuing to build NPPs is inertia, and a desire to not amputate that part of their industrial sector. The grandiose plans have been scaled way back. But that can continue for only so long before it's written off.

3 / 2 = 1, 3.0 / 2 = 1.5. So 3.equals(3.0) is false, as this "equals" is meant to have programming semantics rather than mathematical ones.

(ARC Prize co-founder here).

Ryan's work is legitimately interesting and novel "LLM reasoning" research! The core idea:

> get GPT-4o to generate around 8,000 python programs which attempt to implement the transformation, select a program which is right on all the examples (usually there are 3 examples), and then submit the output this function produces when applied to the additional test input(s)

Roughly, he's implemented an outer loop and using 4o to sample reasoning traces/programs from training data and test. Hybrid DL + program synthesis approaches are solutions we'd love to see more of.

A couple important notes:

1. this result is on the public eval set vs private set (ARC Prize $).

2. the current private set SOTA ~35% solution also performed ~50% on the public set. so this new result might be SOTA but hasn't been validated or scrutinized yet.

All said, I do expect verified public set results to flow down to the private set over time. We'll be publishing all the SOTA scores and open source reproductions here once available: https://arcprize.org/leaderboard

EDIT: also, congrats and kudos to Ryan for achieving this and putting the effort in to document and share his approach. we hope to inspire more frontier AI research sharing like this
It states that historically government oppression has resulted in revolution and violence. It doesn't imply its the only way, but it's certainly a human trope repeated countless times in history, and it will occur again.

> a very large percentage of people living today are also not thinking/understanding/sentient

This isn't that big a bullet to bite (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/4AHXDwcGab5PhKhHT/humans-who... comes from well before ChatGPT's launch), and I myself am inclined to bite it. System 1 alone does not a general intelligence make, although the article is extremely interesting in asking the question "is System 1 plus Python enough for a general intelligence?". But it's not a very relevant philosophical point, because Chollet's position is consistent with humans being obsoleted and/or driven extinct whether or not the LLMs are "general intelligences".

His position is that training LLMs results in an ever-larger number of learned algorithms and no ability to construct new algorithms. This is consistent with the possibility that, after some threshold of size and training, the LLM has learned every algorithm it needs to supplant humans in (say) 99.9% of cases. (It would definitely be going out with a whimper rather than a bang, on that hypothesis, to be out-competed by something that _really is_ just a gigantic lookup table!)
Even a 1 month subscription for 2 hours of need is too much though. Thrice a year, for a few hours each... But have to pay 3 full months usage is nuts. 12+ months is even crazier.

Bill per hour would be OK.

Or buy once, give me 1 year of free updates but I can use it as-is forever (like intellij) is also fair.

This reminded me of that Twitter thread that was linked on HN yesterday, specifically the part about AMD's "true" dual core compared to Intel's "fake" dual core.

> We did launch a “true” dual core, but nobody cared. By then Intel’s “fake” dual core already had AR/PR love. We then started working on a “true” quad core, but AGAIN, Intel just slapped 2 dual cores together & called it a quad-core. How did we miss that playbook?!
AMD always launched w/ better CPUs but always late to mkt. Customers didn’t grok what is fake vs real dual/quad core. If you do cat /proc/cpu and see cpu{0-3} you were happy.

I actually had the opportunity to try the peanut butter to remove gum from hair once, but my child just cut it out before I could get ready. The beginning of the mullet haircut season. (I was SAHD but with the self-cut hair, my wife (at the time) insisted on an immediate emergency hair cut at some fancy salon place, and the mullet was determined to be the only choice available. The gum was stuck about 2 inches above the bangs, so shortening the bangs to that length was a substantial committment). Anyways, I digress.

Uh huh. Tell me, have you (like Musk) pledged your commitment to China's core socialist values?
What knifed new nuclear in the US was not natural gas lobbyists, but natural gas prices. Quote from December 2018:

https://pubs.aip.org/physicstoday/article/71/12/26/904707/US...

> “The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.

(The Henry Hub natural gas price on 6/11/2024 was $2.71/MMBtu, or $2.17/MMBtu in Dec. 2018 dollars.)

Interest in the US "nuclear renaissance" evaporated once it became clear fracking would make natural gas cheap for the foreseeable future. What's interesting about renewables in the US is they are plowing ahead with large deployments even in the face of cheap natural gas.
a) 50% result is not solving the problem. Especially when the implementation is brute forcing the problem and is against the spirit of ARC.

b) He is not being overly negative of LLMs. In fact he believes they will play a role in any AGI system.

c) OpenAI CTO has publicly said that ChatGPT 5 will not be significantly better than existing models. So the rate of improvements you believe in simply doesn't match reality.
Thanks for the links and quotes. I'm a little confused though. The 2023 meta-analysis says there's no significant negative impact on "cognitive functions", but the 2008 article says there is brain damage. Are these reports contradictory, or are we supposed to infer that the brain damage is not impacting their cognitive functions?
The most important question when designing AI
One problem I see is the way the choice of takeaway food vs home cooking is framed. Think popcorn. You can buy a bag of pre-popped popcorn - I guess that is take away. You can make popcorn at home putting a package in the microwave. Or you can put some popcorn kernels in a pot with oil and heat it. My guess is the microplastics from the microwave popcorn would be as high or higher than the bag or pre-popped popcorn. And I would guess that pop-it-yourself would expose you to much less.

But the "home cooked" vs take away doesn't really work? Is that right?

I don’t think that fictionality is orthogonal to notability. I do think that something that occurs in fiction is inherently less notable than the equivalent event occurring in real life no matter how popular the work of fiction.

Vimm's Lair receives notice to remove tons of games
Having tons of people employ human ingenuity to manipulate existing LLMs into passing this one benchmark kind of defeats the purpose of testing for "AGI". The author points this out as it's more of a pattern matching test.

Though on the other hand figuring out which manipulations are effective does teach us something. And I think most problems boil down to pattern matching, creating a true, easily testable AGI test may be tough.

I think there are special cases here like popcorn, but for the vast majority of food, home cooked likely means less exposure to plastics (packaging), additives, excessive oil, less healthy oils, etc.

Restaurant food tends to evolve to taste especially good or last a couple of days longer than usual or compete with other restaurant food etc., all of which is not desirable at home (or even worth optimizing for).
> The blog post states “BigDecimal is a class in Java used to represent floating-point numbers with arbitrary precision”

> Which means that the order should not semantically matter.

Arbitrary precision in the sense that you can set an arbitrary precision on your BigDecimal which then gets carried through. 1/3 = 0, 1.0/3=0.3, 1.00/3=0.33 etc.

> Any justification for == not comparing the represented value applies equally to compareTo (which someone else suggested?)

No it doesn't. equals (not the same as == in Java) is meant to mean equivalent in the program, liskov-substitutable for. compareTo is meant to compare ordering. It's ok to have values that are nonequal but compare the same for ordering purposes.

> If the actual intent of this type is “equals is an invalid way to compare values” the equals should throw when the values are the same but the representation is different.

equals is valid, it just compares something different from the mathematical value. This is the normal behaviour in programming (equals does not understand the domain, if your program has multiple representations for things that are equivalent in the domain then those representations will should still compare unequal unless they have completely equivalent behaviour in your program)

In many countries a taxi won't tell you how much the ride will cost. The first time I traveled to somewhere that negotiated the cost up front it blew my mind.

Frequently, contracts will have room for additional charges if circumstances change even a little, or products will have a market rate (fish, equity, etc.).

It might seem absurd but variable cost things are not uncommon.

> You are poorer than any European ever could be

Are you talking about me, personally, or Americans in general? I suppose it doesn't really matter - you'd be wrong in either case. The median person in the poorest US state is richer than the median person in the UK, for example.

Most Americans grumble about paying for healthcare, and we are getting ripped off, but it's also very rare for someone to actually die because they can't afford it. Anyone in the top, say, 80% of American society has some form of employer-subsidized insurance.
That's a special case of decimal precision. 1/3 = 0, 1.0/3=0.3, 1.00/3=0.33 is probably a better example. (where by 1.0 I mean a BigDecimal with precision=2 - in fact the default is 40)
