> I have not seen even a theoretical framework allowing both to be increased simultaneously.

The threshold theorem [1], showing this can be done in principle, was proven more than a decade ago.

But you don't have to believe the theory anymore, there's experiments now! Last month the google quantum computing team published an experiment [2] showing memory error rates (including decoherence) getting twice as good as a surface code was grown from distance 3 to distance 5, and twice as good again going from distance 5 to distance 7. The logical qubit's coherence time was longer than the coherence times of the physical qubits it was built out of.

Well, I'd say permanent brain damage from scaring alone wouldn't quite be worth an extra 1 click per second...

What it's showing really is a very different problem; the mouse is a fair show and inefficient input method. While some use-cases, like 2d/2d panning, drawing, etc., benefit from a pointing device, most of the typical UI can best be done by a keyboard. I doubt any brain computer interface can achieve 100+ WPM on arbitrary inputs with a low error rate.
I have spent some time doing this for these benchmarks — the model still does make mistakes. Of the questions I can understand, (roughly half in this case) about half were real errors and half were broken questions.
And then after the slave raiders a Scottish sheep farm was established and they confined all the natives to one small area (Hanga Roa). The population is now highly mixed and only about half the current population are of Polynesian descent. They still have a surprising amount of traditions and knowledge recorded although the language is at risk of dying out. I visited Rapa Nui a few years back and it is an incredible place. The locals have been able to mostly resist commercialization of the island which I really appreciated. There is one "fancy" hotel on the island and the locals have put up a bunch of signs in protest[0] which I presume are still there today.

KVM can emulate the Xen hypercall interface. Amazon is not using Xen anymore.
That exact pattern is always true of technological advance. Even for a pretty broad definition of technology. I'm not sure if it's perfectly described by the name "induced demand" but it's basically the same thing.
GPT# forthcoming. You heard it here first.
My information is pretty out of date, but when TPMs first arrived on the scene there was a fair bit of talk about using them as secure enclaves where you could do honest to god "trusted computing" with a fully verified stack on ordinary PC hardware. This largely didn't work out because TPMs were slow and every time you tried to do it you basically stalled out the rest of the machine, so once execution came back to the CPU everything was out of sync and all of the attached hardware like network cards and video cards crashed or froze. TPMs ended up only being useful as a place to store keys and occasionally cryptographically sign small amounts of data.

That said, the SMM can probably be a little less intrusive if it needs to be. Like it doesn't have to freeze the cores if all it is doing is reading your bitcoin addresses and passphrase out of memory, just stalling the memory bus for a moment or two.
We need more garage chemists so that it can be a less consequential one.
This is absolutely insane to me. Native HTML5 gives so much power and it seems like front end devs love to jargon and buzzword the next big thing to death every other year. I primarily work in networking and if we added the layers of complexity like I see front end work does we would have SDN configuring an internal PtP VPN for every device on a LAN just because it's the hot new tech.
Replacing single cells is a problem for other cells in parallel with it, especially with the high current of e-bike batteries, but replacing all cells in parallel (appears to be 4 cells in this battery) should be fine. Either way, being able to replace all the cells at once (worst case) is a pretty big advantage too.

I would not bet against you, but I suspect any advances will be made very quickly and that could happen any time in the next 25 years.

Even at 0.001% risk is far too much to take. I'd certainly make the $0.02 bet for those odds.
We're talking with Digikey! Stay tuned.

tl;dr You can easily ask an LLM to return JSON results, and now working code, on your exact query and plug those to another system for automation.

—-

LLMs are usually accessible through easy-to-use API which can be used in an automated system without human in the loop. Larger scale and parallel actions with this method become far more plausible than traditional means.

Text-to-action capabilities are powerful and getting increasingly more so as models improve and more people learn to use them to the their full potential.

Wow, that is impressive! How were you able to use o1-preview? I pay for ChatGPT, but on chatgpt.com in the model selector I only see 4o, 4o-mini, and 4. Is o1 in that list for you, or is it somewhere else?
My Psion 3c PDA. I've never since found a piece of technology that had this level of usefulness and sheer ease of use.

> My expectations would be that a model that is better at one thing is better across the board.

No, it's the opposite. This is simply a function of resources applied during training.
The replacement process would be almost the same.
I'm not quite sure the status of it at least, but reported back in 2017 that they are moving off Xen

https://www.theregister.com/2017/11/07/aws_writes_new_kvm_ba...

It could be that it's not all over and tied to specific machine types still, or there's something they've done to make it report to the guest still that it's xen based for some compatibility reasons.
Erlang is much more likely for GC overhead to grow sub-linearly, because more logic means more isolates (processes) rather than more state, more deeply nested, in the existing processes. Say at the square root of total data.
I'd love this kind of innovation for power tools... The price of a Milwaukee M28 battery is bonkers these days. The cheap Chinese replacements are hit or miss... some come doa and Amazon complains they will terminate your account if you return too many of them.
I think you can slice it whichever direction you prefer e.g. OpenAI needs more than "we ran it on 10x as much hardware" to end up with a really useful AI model, it needs to get efficient and smarter just as proportionally as it gets larger. As a side effect hardware sizes (and prices) needed for a certain size and intelligence of model go down too.

In the end, however you slice it, the goal has to be "make it do more with less because we can't get infinitely more hardware" regardless of which "why" you give.
The pinecil is $25.
The Haskell community is also very opinionated when it comes to style and some of the choices are not to everyone taste. I’m mostly thinking of point-free being seen as an ideal and the liberal usage of operators.

> Even if the UK and Japan had very high gun rates of gun ownership, it is unlikely they would have rates of gun crime as high as those of the USA.

It is in fact quite possible that they would, particularly for the UK. The gun-enabled wild-west culture may well be the single most important root of the crime problem in the US. You're not helping your case here.

> For example, if we consider the UK's 1988 Firearms Act, which banned semi-automatic rifles

You can't extrapolate microscopic data from a country with an 86-fold lower death rate. The way very few gun enthusiasts react to additional UK restrictions teaches us absolutely nothing about what would happen if the US adopted the UK's laws and cleaned up the gun mess.

My expectation would be a 50-fold reduction in the death rate within 20 years.

Not sure why you didn’t bother to check their pricing page (1) before dismissing my point. They are charging significantly more for both input (3x) and output (4x) tokens when using o1.

Per 1M in/out tokens:

GPT4o - 5$/15$

O1-preview - 15$/60$

I agree, it’s a bit of stretch.

In my mind the mapping and inverse mapping were defined in these two paragraphs:

“I think altering thinking at scale requires people wanting that thing, otherwise you wouldn’t get network effects and scaling would be impossible.

Also, I think that making something people wants requires altering the way they think. When you make something new you ask people to reconsider their existing habits and first principles. This mental shift, however small, is what leads to mass adoption and users falling in love with your product.”
Japan and the USSR would start separate expansionist wars. Germany would probably have some form of Nazi party in charge.

Don't know if there would be an actual Axis, but WW2 in the Pacific might be very similar to the original timeline.

Thanks for clarifying. I think this is a degenerate, self-defeating way to view your relationship to the purchases you make.

By stripping away any agency you may have and shifting both blame and responsibility onto the market, government, or other amoral greater power, you shrink yourself. You are capable of agency, even if some acts are harder than others.

In between the absolute poles of absolute moral asceticism and nihilistic indifference to suffering, is a massive spectrum. On that spectrum, blood diamonds are a very, very low hanging fruit for anyone seeking to demonstrate even the smallest shred of moral agency.

A few reasons this is so easy:

1) An alternative product exists, and is cheaper than the one produced by forced labor. You save money by not paying extra for suffering.

2) The purchase is infrequent. Unlike food or clothing, you aren't constantly required to buy more of it and thus have to research suppliers and production practices over and over.

3) The quality of the alternative is as high or higher. Unlike with any number of technology products where you are cajoled by unique feature sets and a higher level of polish that comes part and parcel with grinding through humans, lab diamonds do the main things a diamond does as well or better than the alternative. They reflect, refract, scratch, and cleave exactly as one wants them to.
Go is not the correct language for this. This must be written in a language that support manually freeing variables from the memory. Go is a garbage-collected programming language.

Go is also not supposed to be used in a complicated way. Its use cases must remain simple.
I was thinking simply a couple of bungee cords wrapped around them to keep them from flailing and then just let them drift around.
It's not AGI - it's tree of thoughts, driven by some RL-derived heuristics.

I suppose what this type of approach provides is better prediction/planning by using more of what the model learnt during training, but it doesn't address the model being able to learn anything new.

It'll be interesting to see how this feels/behaves in practice.
They are an interface, just clearly not the intended interface in this case. In the tower of abstraction, it is simply a lower level of abstraction than the public interface. It's important to speak at the appropriate level of abstraction for the problem at hand, and I believe library writers may not perfectly forsee the appropriate level of abstraction for everyone who uses the library.
There's also a recent "RAMBO" paper about using code to control how memory is accessed so that standard DRAM chips/circuitry will emit decode-able radio signals, at least enough to extract private keys from otherwise air-gapped computers.
Probably overhyped from a business and media perspective. From a technological perspective LLMs are the first thing we've ever built that can rocket past a turing test.

LLMs are like mentally challenged autistic human beings. The fact that we even built such a thing is a milestone in humanity.
I have a method for reasoning through things but I'm pretty sure I'd fail some of those tough math problems too.

> Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation was a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another. The conversation would be limited to a text-only channel, such as a computer keyboard and screen, so the result would not depend on the machine's ability to render words as speech.

I don't see agency mentioned or implied anywhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test

This is a cool project. One thing I was confused on at first tho was the large earth sphere in the center of a what looks like a spherical universe of galaxies. This makes it look more like a cloud of satellites orbiting earth.
Blanket positions either way isn't good (both sides are equally good / bad or we're good they're evil). Nuance is always important I agree.

But it's far more common for "us" to be the good guys and for "them" to be the bad guys. Even without knowing anything about "them".
I'd be curious how this compared against "regular" CoT experiments. E.g. were the gpt4o results done with zero shot or was it asked to explain it's solution step by step.

So it's like the coding agent of gpt4. But instead of actually running the script and fix if it gets error, this one check with something similar to "are you sure". Thank for the link.
Fair enough, but you’re a human - not an AI which costs massive GPU hours.
It's worth noting that with some practice you can unscrew the hot metal tip holder with pilers, flip the tip out into a tray, drop the new cold tip in, and screw it all back using the pliers in 30 seconds or so.
At that point just ask it "Use python to count the number of O's in Broccoli". At least then it's still the one figuring out the "smarts" needed to solve the problem instead of being pure execution.
And there was at least some moving to where the opportunity was. I got a hint of this doing some superficial family research; based on graves and directories, some people made their way from a town in Bohemia where everyone with a version of my rare last name seems to come from to Vienna and Trieste (the imperial port city). Reflected in the article too:

> "While not exactly a melting pot, Vienna was its own kind of cultural soup, attracting the ambitious from across the empire," says Dardis McNamee, editor-in-chief of the Vienna Review, Austria's only English-language monthly, who has lived in the city for 17 years. Less than half of the city's two million residents were native born and about a quarter came from Bohemia (now the western Czech Republic) and Moravia (now the eastern Czech Republic), so that Czech was spoken alongside German in many settings.

Improvements and fixes to illumos bhyve are almost entirely done in upstream illumos-gate, rather than the Oxide downstream.

Upstreaming those changes into FreeBSD bhyve is a more complicated situation, given that illumos has diverged from upstream over the years due to differing opinions about certain interfaces.
And a fantastic one at that. Thanks.
When an AI makes a silly math mistake we say it is bad at math and laugh at how dumb it is. Some people extrapolate this to "they'll never get any better and will always be a dumb toy that gets things wrong". When I forget to carry a 1 when doing a math problem we call it "human error" even if I make that mistake an embarrassing number of times throughout my lifetime.

Do I think LLM's are alive/close to ASI? No. Will they get there? If it's even at all possible - almost certainly one day. Do I think people severely underestimate AI's ability to solve problems while significantly overestimating their own? Absolutely 10,000%.

If there is one thing I've learned from watching the AI discussion over the past 10-20 years its that people have overinflated egos and a crazy amount of hubris.

"Today is the worst that it will ever be." applies to an awful large number of things that people work on creating and improving.

I'm just disputing the theory that people would find 3D printing-based workarounds if we completely banned the manufacture, sale and ownership of guns and ammo. I suspect that homemade ammo might provide a Darwin-style solution to its own problem.
Well, sure. If all you want is buttons.

But if you want reasonable portability of the interface across different devices, and scale, and connection quality there's more to do.

Even just getting an interface that responds cleanly to resizing can be trickier than it looks because what is important changes as aspect and scale change. How you present things may categorically change.

And this doesn't even start on talking about how to get the backend to where it matches the implied functionality of the front end.

I don’t know Go well, but this API would surely piss Alan Kay off.

Why a function that takes an Actor instead of each Actor being a type that implements a receive function? There’s so much Feature Envy (Refactoring, Fowler) in this example.
There is no world where having one function handle three kinds of actors makes any sense. This is designed for footguns.

I also doubt very much that the Log() call is helping anything. Surely lathe API is thin enough to inline a that child.
Makes you wonder if there's a group of people living somewhere right now in 2024, that will be talked about similarly in 2135...
For 20 watts of work on stuff like this for about 4 hours a day counting vacations and weekends and attention span. So 20 hours of rest, relaxation, distraction, household errands and stuff, so that maybe bumps it up to 120 watts per work hour. Then 22.5 years of training or so per worker, 45 year work period, 22.5 year retirement. So double it there to 240 watts. We can't run brains without bodies, so multiply that by 6 giving 1440 watts + the air conditioning, commuting to school and work, etc., maybe 2000 watts?

We're getting close to parity if things keep getting more efficient as fast as they have been. But that's without accounting for the AI training, which can on the plus side be shared among multiple agents, but on the down side can't really do continuous learning very well without catastrophic forgetting.
I think the amazing thing about the LLM is that it's not a random text generator so it's not 99% meaningless.

I give it only 50% meaningless.
