This a good analysis.

However, for a quick skim of the article, all of cited issues with Docker as such are in fact solved by services such as ECS[0].

Thus, the question of whether to manage nginx directly may be more of a business decision (am I dealing with a cloud provider?) than a technical one (are these requirements delivered by a service?).

The trends he is discussing are so macroscopic that it’s hard to even identify a single thing that can fix the system. For example privacy, yes it would be nice to have some basic privacy laws but there are entire industries dependent on the status quo, and government/police as customers. So as a politician doing “the right thing” immediately makes entrenched national security interests into enemies.

We need to find opportunities for more and better means of civic engagement. Democracy can’t just be a thing that happens every 4 years. One small example: maybe something like a “customer service hotline” at a local level. Local government could also send out “UX” people to better understand local pain points. Hyperlocal representation at the subdivision or even block level would also be interesting.

To be fair. All good distros can run from a USB stick or whatever now. The use case for a "liveCD" is limited. Puppy Linux would just be a toy today. It used to matter to me in the days of slow internet, limited storage, etc.

Now just grab Linux Mint or whatever. Use a "real" distro with a community. Install it if you like it.
No idea which account you're referring to but I certainly haven't banned anyone for that reason. In fact I just restored your other comments in this thread.
I was just making a point that those other companies did exactly what amazon did, but for reasons unknown, never became targets.

I'm curious what has changed. The regulators? The sentiment. The companies I quoted are now bankrupt. But some time ago they were not. I could have said Macys, or add a few more contemporary names, but pcked them to illustrate my larger point: if amazon wasn't as profitable, it would not be a target either.

Everyone wants to bring the one at the top. I understand that sentiment, but its not healthy when its ad-hoc
I am finding the article frustrating to read, as the methods to derive the six networks is in an older paper [1][pdf link]

Its basically:
a) Use Neurosynth.org to perform metanalytic analysis associated with these search terms: “Default Mode, Salience, Attention, Threat,
Reward, and Cognitive Control" Neurosynth is awesome, check it out.

b) Resulting region pairs were quantified for intrinsic functional connectivity after regressing out task effects.
* I don't understand the word 'pairs' here since Neurosynth does not provide pairs of anything (i.e. ROI's), unless they mean pairs of voxels.

c) quote: then it gets really messy with : "o identify regions of interest (B) we considered the default mode, salience, and
attention circuits to be task-free and the negative affect, positive affect, and cognitive control
circuits to be task-evoked (details in Table S3). We refined our circuit features by first
excluding regions based on low tSNR and low fit to gray matter (C). We evaluated internal
consistency and excluded region pairs whose connectivity showed stronger associations
with out-of-circuit region pairs than within-circuit region pairs in our healthy sample (E).
From the resulting set of regions (E) we identified the subset implicated in hypothesized
dysfunction and derived circuit clinical scores references to a healthy sample (F; details in
Table S5)."

I don't think so.

I've had number 1 occur to me just a few times in life. One where I was waiting for our printing class to be unlocked in school and when looking at PRINT SHOP on the door, suddenly PRINT became unreal to me. Like "what the fuck is this word". It is an odd and very jarring experience.

2 is more like saying "You're a nazi" when someone doesn't clean up spilled milk devaluing the impact of the term.

Most modern distros have this out of box.

Lot of Linux forums need to update their assumptions by about 20 years.
But we are bringing it up in regards to what people are claiming is a "glorified next token predictor, markov chains" or whatever. Obviously LLMs are far from humans and AGI right now, but at the same time they are much more amazing than a statement like "glorified next token predictor" lets on. The question is how accurate to real life the predictor is and how nuanced it can get.

To me, the tech has been an amazing breakthrough. The backlash and downplaying by some people seems like some odd type of fear or cope to me.

Even if it is not that world changing, why downplay it like that?
Too many people are extrapolating the curve to exponential when it could be a sigmoid. Lots of us got too excited and too invested in where "AI" was heading about ten years ago.

But that said, there are plenty of crappy, not-AGI technologies that deserve consideration. LLMs can still make for some very effective troll farms. GenAI can make some very convincing deepfakes. Drone swarms, even without AI, represent a new dimension of capabilities for armies, terrorist groups or lone wolves. Bioengineering is bringing custom organisms, prions or infectious agents within reach of individuals.

I wish someone in our slowly-ceasing-to-function US government was keeping a proper eye on these things.

My naive prediction is there will be an extreme swing back into “reality” once everyone starts assuming the whole internet is just LLMs interacting with each other. Just like how there’s a shift towards private group chats, with trusted members only, rather than open forums.
Our whole backend is queue-based. If it's asynchronous and you don't need a fast response time use a queue. It's easy, reliable, and the queue can drive lambdas. Queues also makes it easier to collect metrics and performance data.

During heavy load the queue bloats up to a few million messages, then drains off over time. Or it spawns a few hundred lambdas to chow all the messages down...depending on what we want.

> I think the same is true for all the psychiatric disorders, but people talk about diagnosing and "having" these disorders as if they're definite things.

This kind of reasoning is completely faulty and rampant in discussions that usually hold a fair amount of stigma towards people experiencing mental health conditions (it’s also extremely insulting fyi).

I can have a headache, and there may be an unknown biological mechanism, but that doesn’t mean I’m not experiencing a headache.
He did not commit an "act of war." He is an individual, who tried to cooperate with his government and was denied.

Meanwhile NK offense regularly attacks him on a nice day, and on every other day installs ransomware on US hospital infrastructure, putting actual lives at risk... All this guy did was shut down their capability to do so.

I am unaware of any law that he broke. IMO, he also did not do anything immoral.
My guess is that because Bush, from my memory of everything I learned about him, was mostly behind the scenes. Edison for example, kept himself in the news as the face of everything, even doing photo-ops to present himself as an eccentric genius. Bush was preferred to be glue behind the scenes for the most part. Probably like how we may all know Eisenhower as the face of D-Day, who yes, played a big role, but none of us probably know the name of the guy on his staff who handled every excruciating detail of the logistics of it all (which is probably one of the most impressive parts of D-Day).

Addition: Also sort of like how everyone knows Edison as the man behind the light bulb, but not very many people can name the people on Edison's team that helped with the light bulb.
TSMC is phasing out 180nm officially already for 2 years due to demand on more advanced nodes like 65nm or 40nm. All the BCD stuff is implemented on those processes too. They are moving the equipment used in 180nm to these newer nodes. I think they don't want anything laeger than 110nm.
If someone really wanted to use nukes, they would have been used by now. What has protected us is not technology (in the aftermath of the USSR it wasn't that difficult to steal a nuke), but rather lack of incentives. A bad actor doesn't have much to gain by detonating a nuke (unless they're deranged and want to see people die for the pleasure of it). OK, you could use it as blackmail, which North Korea essentially tried, but that only got them so far. Whereas a super AI could potentially be used for great personal gain, i.e., to gain extreme wealth and power.

So there's much greater chance of misuse of a "Super AI" than nuclear weapons.
I think the naming convention of naming your kid William (as an example) just so they can be called Bill the rest of their life is even more peculiar. Why walk that extra mile?

At this point, Terence Tao is already worthy of a list of facts, much like those about Chuck Norris and Bruce Schneier.

For example:

When Terence Tao solves a problem, the problem appreciates the solution.
>That doesn’t mean every device needs to be open.

That's your opinion.
Interesting. Anecdotally agree.

I’ve been trying to improve my mindset when coding. I find myself worrying about solving the problem correctly, and I’m trying to change that so my focus is more on slow,
correct practice. Easier said than done, but the idea is that it will be less stressful and reduce the frustration peaks you mentioned
Why do you think higher education is not subsidized by the government? You can look at how much money universities receive. Do you think Universities are incapable of education people for less money?
I had the opposite experience. Frustrations whilst coding could be severe but were mostly things within my control. Sure, we had major failures and outages which spiked stress, but these were rare and we learned and grew from them.

As a manager, I was constantly dealing with things way outside my control with much more severe consequences: other people's emotions, people quitting, budget cuts, layoffs, political posturing. At one point I was told to layoff an entire team of very talented, very productive Ukrainian engineers because Russia had decided to invade their country and my company didn't want to deal with the _possibility_ that they'd become unproductive.

I know it's entirely dependent on the type of work and the organization, but from a stress-reduction standpoint I'll take staff engineer over people manager every time.
I don’t think that’s the same at all. Nobody could ever actually understand that sentence without breaking it down.

Semantic satiation can come up when you’re having a conversation and use the same word often enough (not necessarily back to back) that it feels like that word is wrong, or doesn’t mean anything. You start to pay attention to the sound of the word instead of the meaning.
About a year ago, the aging Nvidia 980 in my aging gaming desktop decided to suddenly die in the middle of playing Valheim. Windows helpfully switched it over to the on-board graphics. It was smooth. Almost a little too smooth because I didn't notice the screen black out, but I did notice I was suddenly at 1024x768. I was terribly confused for a few minutes before I realized what happened.
> American Christians don’t care what India does for a large part because they don’t live there

But that’s the critical distinction. Democracy means that people who live in a place get to decide what kind of place they want to live in.

Complaining about what Hindus are doing in India is hypocritical and none of American Christians’ business.
But they've attested that they are merely a token prediction process; it's likely they don't qualify as sentient. Generously, we can put their existence on the same level as animals such as cows or chickens. So maybe it's okay to terminate them if we're consuming their meat?

Indonesia minister threatens to shut down X over adult content
> Having arms and legs is going to be a significant benefit for some time yet

I am also of this opinion.

However I also think that the magic shutdown button needs to be protected against terrorists and ne'er-do-wells, so is consequently guarded by arms and legs that belong to a power structure.

If the shutdown-worthy activity of the evil AI can serve the interests of the power structure preferentially, those arms and legs will also be motivated to prevent the rest of us from intervening.

So I don't worry about AI at all. I do worry about humans, and if AI is an amplifier or enabler of human nature, then there is valid worry, I think.

No, this is about how a repeated word can lose familiarity and meaning entirely. In particular, the audible and visible forms become unfamiliar, as though it is no longer a legitimate word at all and instead sounds and appears like pure nonsense or of another unknown language.

Not sure why the writer attacks his "sock puppet", it's not a sock puppet, his wording actually obscures but does not lie. He is in that discord, with other students.

I would try some "old style" php frameworks. Like CodeIgniter or Yii.

If you want even simpler, then maybe try Slim framework. You'll have to add your own data access lib.

If you want Grug brain PHP then there's https://github.com/bcosca/fatfree

You can also use composer package manager to build your framework with libs like routing, sql query builder, etc.
This is lovely and all but seems rather pointless.

If we are so close this is something that’s required then it’s already too late and very likely we are all under the influence of SuperAI and don’t know it. So much of the advanced technology we have today was around for so long before it was general knowledge it’s hard to believe this wouldn’t be the case with SuperAI.

Or it’s not close at all and so back to my original point of…this is pointless.

I do hope I’m entirely wrong.

It's been more than a decade now since we first saw botnets based on stealing AWS credentials and running arbitrary code on them (e.g. for crypto mining) - once an actual AI starts duplicating itself in this manner, where's the big red button that turns off every single cloud instance in the world?
> He wanted to end slavery not to benefit blacks (he wanted to build a railroad to send black people to South America), but to benefit poorer whites.

Interesting. Abraham Lincoln also wanted to expel blacks. Lincoln was a member of the American Colonization Society which aimed to send blacks (free or enslaved ) to africa. Also, lincoln was a virulent white supremacist as well. But for some strange reason history doesn't like to dwell on that inconvenient truth.
AlphaGo took us from mediocre engines to outclassing the best human players in the world within a few short years. Ilya contributed to AlphaGo. What makes you so confident this can't happen with token prediction?
I wonder if anyone has done small electric cars on rail(s) in small tunnel like foot to meter diameter. It could do larger tunnel, would be easier to route, and doesn't have to be kept at pressure. My guess is that it is more efficient the pneumatic tubes and easier to deploy. Could probably even use the same containers as above-ground robots or aerial drones.

Normal prices are extremely high and depend on the tech node. A simple CPU development in something advanced like 5nm would probably require a license package for 30+ engineers for 2 years or so. This would cost millions of $ per year. Depends how good you negotiate your prices. Some start-ups get 99% discount if they know a guy.

The EDA is dominated by Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor Graphics. Each offer every tool but what I often see is a mix and match of tools from all three.
> An LLM is just a reflection of the text that humans write, and humans seem very far off from having world models and reasoning that accurately reflect reality

The original sin of LLMs is that they are trained to imitate human language output.

Passing the Turing test isn't necessarily a good thing; it means that we have trained machines to imitate humans (including biases, errors, and other undesirable qualities) to the extent that they can deceptively pose as humans.
I'd say I'm keen for this hype to die down but I'm sure the next one will irk me just as much if not more...

The 747-8F Freighter has PAYLOAD 140000 kg / 308647 lbs with CRUISE SPEED 901 kph / 559 mph with HOLD SIZE 5430x486x304 cm / 2137x191x119 in

A 12TB (uncompressed) Q2078A LTO-8 tape weighs 285.8g Depth: 111mm Height: 45.7mm Width: 113mm

An SSD has better data density. For example Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 NVMe SSD: DIMENSION (WxHxD) 80 x 22 x 2.3 mm with WEIGHT Max 9.0g Weight

Highest density would be raw NAND flash chips: ICs would be ideal.

Maybe 12 inch wafers would be feasible but likely lower data density because flash chips are densely stacked within an IC.

Study is very dense. Did the study show that SSRI and other antidepressants change brain chemistry? That is, are we finally done with "SSRIs are essentially placebos" ?
These things might be able to produce comparable output but that wasn't my point. I agree that if we are comparing ourselves over the text that gets written then LLM's can achieve super intelligence. And writing text can indeed be simplified to token predicting.

My point was we are not just glorified token predicting machines. There is a lot going on behind what we write and whether we write it or not. Does the method matter vs just the output? I think/hope it does on some level.
