The weirdest thing to me is that drug use is cracked down on so hard that we even have international treaties against them, but something like obesity in some cases is even celebrated (healthy at every size).
> I... don't believe that it is equivalent to giving free money to people.

And I hope two things are clear:

1. I don't like freeloaders either. I don't ever plan to be a freeloader, and I don't like the idea of paying taxes to enable people to choose a lifestyle of taking and not giving. (Obviously there are people who create value for society that's harder to "capture", like working on open-source software or making art; and there are people who have a harder time contributing because of other limitations, not because of choice; we're not talking about those people here.)

2. I don't claim to know that giving free money to people will help. It's possible freeloaders will take money from the government and companies / individuals; it's possible that having free money available will significantly increase the number of freeloaders. We don't know because we haven't tried it.

What I'm asking you to consider, however, is the possibility that 1) the overall benefits to society of UBI are greater than the harms caused by enabling freeloaders; and 2) there's no way to have UBI without enabling freeloaders.

If that's the case, then our options are:

1. Take UBI and its benefits, gritting our teeth at the necessity of enabling freeloaders

2. Miss the benefits of UBI on principle to avoid enabling freeloaders.

If UBI is a net benefit to society, in spite of freeloaders, I'd have to go with #1 instead of #2.

Consider that our current capitalist system enables lots of other types of freeloaders: people who have inherited enough capital that they can live off the profits without doing any work whatsoever, companies or people who have patented something simple and obvious and are then able to extract rents from the people actually making things, people who buy things and sell them milliseconds later. We put up with this kind of freeloading in capitalism because it's hard to prevent it without damaging the benefits that capitalism brings. The same might end up being true for UBI.
Conceptually is key word here.

For models of this size, the code used to train them is going to be very custom to the architecture/cluster they are built on. It would be almost useless to anybody outside of Meta. The dataset would be more a lot more interesting, as it would at the very least show everybody how they got it to behave in certain ways.

> It is ok, but not opinions are equal. Not all are equally well founded, not all are equally well reasoned, not all weigh all arguments by their importance and urgency.

I'm happy with the basis of my opinions. I'm happy to express them and argue my side.

I don't expect to be able to force my opinions on others. I wouldn't say this, for example:

> middle and upper class people to foot the bill for innovating and reducing costs for everyone, since they can most afford it.

> Anyway, you seem quite conspiracy-minded (please read Fantasyland if you have the time), so I'm going to cut this discussion short.

That's fine. I'll say that these 2 ideas are flawed that a/ you know something to be true because you've been told it is, even though you do not have not personally verified whatever-it-is, leaves you very open to manipulation by whoever has the megaphone you listen to and b/ the idea that the apparent consensus opinion is right and should force it's version of reality on non-believers is immoral - acts of force (wrongs) can not be made right.

Each person is given their own mental faculties to with as they like. We each have the opportunity to consider right and wrong, true and false in whatever way we like. One can have personally verified opinions or one can accept consensus opinion, or anything in between. Each of us gets to choose.
You seem to have missed the point of the comment you replied to rather entirely.

What was "simultaneous[ly] hilarious and frightening" was that the "minutes" on the linked page said absolutely nothing about what was actually decided (and how) at that meeting. It's all just formalities about "not[ing] the presence of a quorum" and how the "agenda was approved"...

But the actual business of the meeting -- "one resolution was approved, and one resolution was approved unanimously as amended" -- all happened in an "executive session", so you can't even see WHAT those resolutions were.

They could just as well not have published any minutes at all, and we'd know just as much as we do with them. That is simultaneously hilarious and frightening.

I didn't claim the output is source code, any more than the kernel is. Are you sure you don't simply agree with me?
With a well-configured dev env with typescript, prettier, eslint and the appropriate config, async/await does feel like a feature. The IDE adds the async keyword for you if you forget it. If you enable errors in the whole project, it will tell you of any file/function that has an inconsistency in that regard.

So yes the compiler can figure it out, but only with Typescript. For javascript, a promise it a promise, but it doesn't know that a function will return a promise until it does. You can try compiling some async/await codebase to an old ES5 version and see the mess.

I think the term "research chemicals" came out of the necessity to call these substances anything but drugs.

They can't legally be sold as drugs, that would require some kind of approval from a regulatory agency, which they obviously don't have. So they call it by a name that don't suggest human consumption. "research chemicals", as if they were reagents, "bath salts", "plant food", etc... often with a "not for human consumption" label. Certainly not "designer drugs", that's a term I generally only see in articles with an "anti drug" stance.

Such a multidimensional question, I think there's probably little point in being able to boil brain speed down to one number (or even small set of numbers). There's so many parts that all combine: The rate of propagation of activation-potentials along neural dendrites (well known that caffeine speeds this up, until your brain adapts to make it 'normal speed' again by extra myelination!), there's stuff like the frequency of brainwaves, which surely must have some effect.. and then the conscious-perception of the passage of time could kinda feed in too, not to mention memory-speed or speed at tasks that have been very highly practiced. Very interesting to think about though, thanks!

> absurd solution

What's absurd about it? It's absurd that I want the software operating my MRI and providing doctors with necessary information during surgeries to be different from what accountants using Excel and video game players use?

What's absurd is congress hoping to solve the fundamental problem by asking the CrowdStrike CEO to come in for a one on one. Even if we took this process at face value and assumed they were earnest it would be laughable.

Meanwhile.. the government is the largest healthcare payer in the world. For not particularly great reasons. This _is_ one of the downstream impacts of that reality.

Yeah: common risks across a neighbourhood will usually lead to severe problems trying to claim your cover. And subsequent property resale issues: if insurance is unavailable, a mortgage is unavailable; if a home can't get a mortgage then you can only sell for cash at extreme discounts.

If a video doesn't have source code, then it can't be open source. Likewise, if you feel that an LLM doesn't have source code because of some property of what it is -- as you claim it isn't software and somehow that means that it abstractly removes it from consideration for this concept (an idea I think is ridiculous, FWIW: an LLM is clearly software that runs in a particularly interesting virtual machine defined by the model architecture) -- then; somewhat trivially, it also can't be open source. It is, as the person you are responding to says, at best "open weights".

If a video somehow does have source code which can "generate it", then the question of what it means for the source code to the video to be open even if the only program which can read it and generate the video is closed source is equivalent to asking if a program written in Visual Basic can ever be open source given that the Visual Basic compiler is closed source. Personally, I can see arguments either way on this issue, though most people seem to agree that the program is still open source in such a situation.

However, we need not care too much about the answer to that specific conundrum, as the moral equivalent of both the compiler and the runtime virtual machine are almost always open source. What is then important is much easier: if you don't provide the source code to the project, even if the compiler is open source and even if it runs on an open source machine, clearly the project -- whatever it is that we might try to be discussing, including video files -- cannot be open source. The idea that a video can be open source when what you mean is the video is unencrypted and redistributanle but was merely intended to be played in an open source video player is absurd.
I think they fully expected the second stage of Ariane 6 to be able to deorbit itself. Other than spacex, it's pretty unusual for testflights of big orbital rockets to be put on a suborbital trajectory. e.g. the first flight of SLS went around the moon.
The idea is straightforward - receive notification from the websocket server every time a new decentralised liquidity protocol experiences a change.
Additionally everything can also be seen by the REST API.

Why'd you use Polia instead of Coingecko, for example?
- The way coingecko is designed, you cannot really get an idea of what's happening for each decentralised protocol at real time, instead you have to poll it - it becomes very burdensome when you want to track thousands of tokens across multiple networks.

few things will be added in the near future:

- support for more networks

- support for more protocols

- endpoints exposing rare data (mempool information & best route to execute specific trades)

- endpoints allowing for direct txs execution
"Here is the disassembly, Senators. It explains everything"
My intuition is that the best solution here would be a division of labor: have the big multimodal model identify tables, paragraphs, etc, and output a mapping between segments of the document and texture output. Then a much simpler model that doesn’t try to hold entire conversations can process those segments into their contents.

This will perform worse in cases where whatever understanding the large model has of the contents is needed to recognize indistinct symbols. But it will avoid cases where that very same understanding causes contents to be understood incorrectly due to the model’s assumptions of what the contents should be.

At least in my limited experiments with Claude, it’s easy for models to lose track of where they’re looking on the page and to omit things entirely. But if segmentation of the page is explicit, one can enforce that all contents end up in exactly one segment.

And you're comparing annualised inflation to the deflation over a decade, which is equally embarrassing. Regardless, all other things being equal anyone who has their own financial interests at heart would rather hold a currency that experienced 20,000% deflation since its creation than one that lost 99% of its value to inflation since its creation. Because the best predictor of future performance is past performance.
I am not familiar with how CS is or can be administered.

As a customer you should not have to assume the software your supplier vends is faulty to the extent of this incident.

It's reasonable for a customer to assume the software is tested according to industry best practices.

CS acted grossly negligent here, and they deserve the majority of the blame.

I agree that some blame also resides with customers, there must be disaster recovery procedures in place to allow them to function with minimal downtime in the case of emergency services.

I think there's room for a middle-ground. I agree that there's a lot of slop being generated and shared around. Part of it is due to the initial excitement over these AI tools. Part of it is that most AI tools still kinda suck at the moment. In the long term I expect tools to get way better, which I'm hopefully could help enable smaller teams of people than ever before to execute on their creative vision.

Personally I have tons of creative ideas which I think would be interesting and engaging but for which I lack the resources to bring into this world, so I'm hoping that in the long term AI tools can help bridge this gap. I'm really hopeful for a world where people from all over the world can share their creative stories, rather than being mostly limited to a few rich people in Hollywood.

Unfortunately I do expect this to end up being the minority of content, especially as we continue being flooded by increasing amounts of trash. But maybe that's just opening up the opportunity for someone to develop new content curation tools. If anything, even before the rise of AI stuff there were mountains of content, and we saw with the rise of TikTok that a good recommendation algorithm still leaves room for new platforms.
In the early 2000s I rented a managed VPS based on FreeBSD jails. This was nice because you were root in your jail while the distribution was managed for you (security updates in particular), and you could still override any system files you wanted via the union file system. It was like the best of both worlds between a managed Unix account and a VPS where you can do anything you want as root.

Bikes are sized to the individual rider, even at amateur levels. You can't give a bike designed for a 5'4" guy to a 6'4" guy or vice versa, they physically won't be able to use it.

I mean, I think at this point that sort of statement isn't _for_ the analysts; they know very well it's not going to happen. It's for the retail meme-stock-y investors.

As you say, even if they had something which _actually worked_, today, getting it cleared by regulators in all countries, or realistically in _any_ country, by end of year is simply not going to happen; it's just obvious nonsense.
> As far as I'm concerned, anyone who self-identifies honestly as a "Christian" is one, regardless of how incongruent their actions and opinions seem to be with some of the teachings of some of the denominations of that religion.

I understand where you're coming from, but this is just an unworkable definition. It reminds me of a snapshot of a social media post I saw which read, "I'm a vegan who eats meat. Yes, we exist." "People trying to follow Jesus and take his teachings seriously" certainly isn't a perfect definition, but it's a lot more useful than "anyone who self-identifies as a Christian".
> So we’d have to regulate...

No shit? You don't say.

Seriously, regulations and laws are how you get companies to act against their own best interests.

> (eg, “fire every executive” doesn’t work even in things like Enron or mine disasters).

You seem to have forgotten the second part of the punishment. I'll quote the punishment again:

> [F]ire every executive member of that company and permanently bar each of them from holding any executive or management position ever again.

I don't remember any Enron executive being barred from holding any executive or management position ever again. Do you?

> Your solutions are difficult to enforce...

Oh? Someone comes to the relevant regulator, or Federal law enforcement with evidence of this crime happening. By law, FedGov will be obligated to investigate. Either they corroborate the evidence and deliver the punishment, or they do not and they do nothing.

This punishment is so extreme that you will only have to catch a few companies to prevent nearly everyone else from breaking this law. (After all, what executive team would risk decades of each of them getting a seven-to-eight-figure salary just so that a couple of them can get a one-off bonus one or two orders of magnitude smaller?)
