Yes, he's handwaving in this general area, but no, he's not really relying on the UAT. If you talked to most NN people 2 decades ago and asked about this, they might well answer in terms of the UAT. But nowadays, most people, including here Altman, would answer in terms of practical experience of success in learning a surprisingly diverse array of distributions using a single architecture.

What's illegal under California's 9 (and counting) new AI laws
You didn't read the article did you?

The first bill, AB 1836, “prohibits the use of a deceased person’s voice or likeness in digital replicas without the prior consent of their estate,” according to SAG-AFTRA. The second, AB 2602, “prohibits contractual provisions that would allow for the use of a digital replica of an individual’s voice or likeness in place of the individual’s actual services,” unless the individual gave their consent to a clear, specific description of how the AI would be used.

You just need consent or a proper contract. The bill only forbids them of doing this without consent, or having it forced onto standard contracts in Hollywood. Both of which were likely inevitable without this bill.

You can still do it, ignoring the clickbait title of this article.
I was so far a little skeptical of these all-in-one solutions, but never say never and language is general one, so somebody could try to tackle this if they see the oportunity. I will try to find out more about LiveView, thanks for the link.
Next concept: "artificial dickheads"? :)
You generally want your rooms to be not just rectilinear, but rectangular after you fill in all built-in storage spaces. And storage spaces have to be sized appropriately to their intended purpose: you don't want three-foot-deep shelves. Another thing this optimizer doesn't take into account is corridors. It has the notion of room connections and area ratios, but area ratios are the wrong way to think about corridors: you want them to be as small as possible while still having at least a certain width.
Concept is simple

As of today there are many concepts or things that society decided that arent good for kids and they are 18/21 age restricted.

And now: is the topic of transgender people important and appropiate for them? I'd say no. Transgender people are very, very tiny population and the topic itself is milion times overblown by media.

Changing gender may easily fuckup your life and % of the cases where it is viable idea is tiny
End to end encryption is not really a pledge. That is expected of companies like such. Nevertheless, their promise to not sell any data is interesting. If they don’t sell data (which cannot be sold anyways for an E2EE system) I wonder why they collect so much data related to one’s identity as disclosed by them in the App Store Page? Is the behaviour of journaling then becomes a data point to be sold by these companies? Makes you wonder. And as mentioned in their privacy policy page, they are also not except from disclosing information the the US Govt if mandated by a warrant.
> Parents who really want their 10 year old to learn about BDSM practices or breast removal surgeries can still get them those books on their own dime.

In your option was Roots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roots:_The_Saga_of_an_American...) teaching 10 years olds about BDSM practices or breast removal surgeries? That book was banned.
Perhaps you should mention in your conspiratorial rant that you are in Russia.

Then it would be obvious that the most likely authority fighting against end-to-end encryption is Russia itself -- with no need to approach matrix, when they can simply block access to the relevant key-exchange endpoints at a network level.

Are there some sources you (or someone with twitter account) could provide to this?
Sex is all religious fundamentalists can wrap their heads around, because their small, rigid, hetero-normative worldview cannot condone or understand the spectrum of unique beauty that is gender identity.

The structure and forms of communication kids have at their fingertips these days provides plenty of ways to explore these topics, unfortunately mixed in with low quality or possibly dangerous content.

I think those who push back hard against these topics are accelerating a counter-reaction, and I'm here for it. This is a weird thing to obsess against.
Update:

So I went to my main branch yesterday, the one that where I've done most of my transactions, and I told them the situation with the wire transfer that was rejected, and then they checked and then they got back to me and said that they can't do any wire transfers outside of Philippines for me because they have a new regulation saying that they can't deal with Iranian persons. And so I said this is totally unfair and discriminatory as I'm a Canadian and I was just born in Iran before leaving when I was three. The front desk clerk said, well, there's nothing they could do because it was the BSP, which is the bank regulator of Philippines, that instituted this regulation. And then I asked her show me the regulation, and she said she would get back to me after talking to the Treasury Department, but that she couldn't give me an answer right away.

I told her I would wait as this was a critical situation and I needed it resolved today. I also asked to speak to her manager, and after an hour I got to speak to the assistant manager.

I told them I am 100% sure that the BSP is not requiring them to stop dealing with people whose birthplace is Iran. They may have said you can't deal with Iranian persons, but having merely an Iranian birthplace is not going to be defined as an Iranian person. Moreover, the BSP guidelines require them to give clients fair treatment and consumer protection. I showed him a picture of my newly completed office. I said, look, I just finished constructing this office. What am I supposed to do if I can't do international wire transfers? And then I showed him a video of my two year old dancing. I said, look, I'm established here, I have family here, and now you're telling me I can't do business here. I was pulling out all the stops because this is a very, very critical situation, basically cutting me off from any meaningful banking based on some absurd interpretation of the regulations. So I told him, "I know you guys have to do your due diligence. And if you wanted to do due diligence and check my transaction, that's absolutely fine. I can give you as many documents as you need. But I'm 100% sure that the BSP is not requiring you to stop dealing with people whose birthplace is Iran. It might say you can't deal with Iranian persons, which I am not. And what's happening here is the compliance division is overreacting." Anyway, he said he'll do his best. I came back later in the day and they said they're going to treat me as a Canadian person from now on. And they processed my transactions. Now I'm just hoping everything stays okay and I don't get any more nasty surprises.

Re the link to the wiki and its introductory paragraph:

If you ask yourself why the 2nd part of the original Collatz function is:

c(2k+1) = 3k+2

the reason is that:

3x+1 applied to (2k+1) is 6k+4 which can immediately be divided by 2 and results in 3k+2.
The photo caption reads:
"An interior photo of a rectangular glass device attached to a building's window, with cables going between it and the ceiling."

But it is clearly an AI-generated image. Look at the reflection of the lamp in the window, it overlaps the window frame.

Is this now the norm, AI-generated images pawned off as begin real? Good lord...
I'm far more worried about the unholy union between government and big business than I am about either alone.
Yea, we seem to agree that people can't actually push the needle on these kinds of issues in a meaningful way through their individual choices as consumers. That's a dead end, and it's one industries that fear getting regulated have settled on pushing at every opportunity, exactly because it's a dead end

Ultimately, the only thing powerful enough to take on a cartel is a government. A lot of people have negative feelings about the abstract concept of government, and certainly the government sucks sometimes. Nearly any way that an individual can come up against power has the potential to suck a lot

However, democratic governments for all their failings are far more responsive than consolidated industries to pressure from people who want change. Our "brand of capitalism" - by which I mean the particular economic and regulatory policies of the US government at this moment in time - is doing significant harm to the majority of people, in a way that it just wasn't in my parents' generation, and it doesn't have to stay this way. The options are not accept how things are or tilt at windmills by doing a master's thesis worth of research for every item we buy at the grocery store. The political will for better safety nets, better research and regulation, economic policy that helps the majority of people instead of a tiny sliver of the most deep-pocketed, and siccing the government on the cartels that increasingly dominate every industry is pervasive. The bet cartels are making is that they can create apathy and confusion to forestall this until they can burn down the institution of democracy itself
I think Hellsing was an other case of working on IP that was not complete. Manga run from 1997 to 2008 original anime from 2001 to 2002. So missing significant part of material from Manga... So with pressure to somehow fill 13 episodes, something have to be invented.
Another example of the same phenomenon, perhaps, is the respect given to people who have written a novel compared to the respect given to people who have done journalism. Since I like novels I am not particularly annoyed by this phenomenon, but it does seem strange.

They are amazing, compared to anything in America. That's why they're amazing: you have to think about who's calling them "amazing", and where they came from.

It's like visiting Japan, and going to the restroom. If you just came from America, the experience is truly amazing, because 1) the restroom is clean, and 2) the restroom has privacy (no gaps around the doors, no giant gaps so people see your feet and pants pulled down), and 3) random stuff in the restroom isn't broken, and finally 4) there's a washlet.

If you came from a country where stuff is clean and kept in good order, and the bathrooms are pretty nice, then the Japanese bathroom would not be so amazing, except maybe for the washlet. But coming from America, where most of the features of Japanese bathrooms I listed above are not the case for most bathrooms, the Japanese bathroom is an amazing experience.

Basically, things in Japan are how you'd expect a well-run civilized society to be, so when you come from a place that is poorly run and not as civilized as it claims to be, then things in Japan do seem amazing for a while.

> If it’s not legal to impersonate someone while they’re alive, why would it be okay when they’re dead?

The point is it is legal to impersonate someone while they’re alive - if you ask their permission and they grant it.

Why should all future media be forbidden from ever portraying a famous or important person after there is no one left to give or deny that permission or even care if anyone did?
There’s def a bit in Mann’s 1491.
Why limit it to commercial works? I was originally optimistic this would help with e.g. deepfake attacks. Unfortunately it seems like it is mere protectionism.
Yes it did, the complaints were mostly from VB 6 folks complaining about VB.NET 1.0, several VB features like Me objects, being again more dynamic, repl, were eventually added back for those that kept around in VB.NET land.

Not that it matter much nowadays, given that its development has been placed on freeze mode.

> 5% of the population is hardly enough to call them fat

But 7% is? India and America have statistically similar rates of morbid/severe obesity.

That said, about 74% of Americans are overweight or obese [1]. The fattest Indian states barely break 40%. But if you only looked at middle class and above, I wouldn't be surprised to see numbers similar to America's.

There's no good reason. This is just more of "don't say gay" nonsense. It's meant to pull people into a culture war so that politicians can win points without solving any real issues.

The article is part of ongoing reporting on the issue of book bans in the US. Previous articles in the Guardian (but also other news sources) have focussed on specific legislation already. If you want to find out more about the reasons books are banned, you could start here on the website of PEN America:

https://pen.org/book-bans/

Dig in a little, and you can find out how the various state laws are used, like Tennessee's HB 843 which effectively bans any book containing nudity in school libraries for anyone under 18.

The reason these books are banned is not explicitly mentioned in those laws of course.
The flagged comment specifically talked about gender identity books for children below 12 years old, which Iowa banned.

(The question why schools should allow pornographic books for anyone still remains, but is not relevant in this context.)

When I was under 12 I was completely unprepared and incapable to handling this kind of information. My concerns were playing videogames, watching cartoons, and playing soccer. I didn't think at all about sexuality, much less gender anything.

I have no idea what kind of damage to my idea of self this kind of information being pushed onto me would have caused, especially when at that time I was the bullied kid for being short and nerdy, girls especially would always mock me for that reason. Maybe it would have caused none. I always saw school as lame, I did the bare minimum and always had good grades. Maybe it would have been a class that I just didn't pay any attention to.

It was a different time back then though. The Internet only became a thing when I was already 13, and at that point things had changed quite a bit for me.

Kids these days seem to be exposed to some... er... "objectionable" material a lot earlier. Now that I am a father, I do worry about what kind of information my daughter will receive once she grows up and goes to school. Not sure how people deal with this sort of stuff nowadays.

Reality sadly goes much further than your imagination.

Indeed. What happens if you license the AI likeness of a George Clooney impersonator?
I'm not sure of the details for this set of "banned" books, but I recall the previous "scandal". It ends up that school libraries have limited space, so some books were removed in favor of others. The media claimed that the removed books were banned even though kids were allowed to read their copy, bring their copy with them to school and even write a book report on them.
So I would take this article with a grain of salt.

> If you're skeptical that this feat is possible with a raw 4004, you're right: The 4004 itself is far too limited to run Linux directly. Instead, Grinberg created a solution that is equally impressive: an emulator that runs on the 4004 and emulates a MIPS R3000 processor—the architecture used in the DECstation 2100 workstation that Linux was originally ported to. This emulator, along with minimal hardware emulation, allows a stripped-down Debian Linux to boot to a command prompt.

That's cool
Honestly you raise a good point about diesel, and I think the government should increase the scrappage value for people who have these middle-aged diesels. In the long run, that would probably the cheapest and wisest way to solve the issue permanently.

At the moment I'm using Mythic Beasts in Cambridge - they're not cheap but their support is fantastic - https://www.mythic-beasts.com/.

I have a few friends using https://www.ukservers.com/ and https://www.veloxserv.co.uk/ who are more reasonably priced.

I've also used m247 in the past, but had terrible experiences with them since they were acquired by private equity - network & support quality went really downhill.

For servers, I use https://serverfactory.com/ and https://www.rackservers.com/. As is typical for this kind of thing ignore the online pricing and email in - you'll usually do rather better, but they'll want you to pay by bank transfer.

edit: being outside of London means power is a lot cheaper, but I get about an extra 2ms of latency to my server. I consider that a reasonable tradeoff :)
Tracy is brilliant. @wolfpld I hope you're enjoying reading this and all of the other great comments in this thread. Great work and thank you very very much!
The article says they banned "more than" 10000 books, and you mentioned one.

Thus the rest of 9999 books could easily have many on the subject.

Once withers land, I think you could approximate this by letting your record class have a zero argument constructor which sets every field to some blank value, and then fill the fields using `with`.

var x = new Car() with { make = "Volvo"; year = "2023"; };

If you want the Car constructor to enforce constraints, you could use this pattern in a separate Builder record:

record Car(String make, String year) {
Car {
Objects.requireNonNull(make);
Objects.requireNonNull(year);
}

record Builder(String make, String year) {
Builder() {
this(null, null);
}
Car build() {
return new Car(make, year);
}
}
}

var x = new Car.Builder() with { make = "Volvo"; year = "2023"; }.build();

Obviously syntax TBD.

I find there is a difference between

1. washing dishes by hand (supposing you don't like that but it's necessary)

2.Meditating

The first one is an habit you create because you need it done and you want it to be less pain.

The second one, if done for the wrong purposes of just 'wanting to improve oneself' it becomes a pain, because you know you don't really need it, but you force yourself to do it anyway.

Of course, if meditation is one of your strong believes, this doesn't apply, but 'meditating' because 'some people say it will improve myself and it will create an healthy habit' is noy a good goal.
