Only you can decide where your moral compass points, and how far you're prepared to go in an opposing direction for wealth and/or fame.

I think most people will feel better working in a position that is aligned with their values, but a lot of people can also tolerate/justify a surprising amount of cognitive dissonance in aid of supporting themselves and their families.

Whether it's convincing oneself that one's work will only be used militarily against baddies that deserve it, that the people one is putting out of work with automation/AI will fall on their feet into much better jobs, or that manipulating people into spending more time in one's app is actually a public service because the app itself does some good, people will find ways of compartmentalising and living with what they do since the alternative of having a family less well provided for is seen as the bigger failure. "Suck it up princess and get on with it, you can't bear the weight of the whole world on your shoulders, and you've got kids who need to go to college"...

My main advice would be to try not to stray so far from your moral compass that you can no longer recognise yourself. No amount of therapy or donating to charity is going to fix you at that point.

I'm really glad there are people like yourself out there, asking questions like these. I wish more were like you, and I wish you good luck and happiness whatever you choose to do.
Any way you cut it

Whatevers, AI encourages eating dangerous mushroom, there's also the book it wrote that poisoned people https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41269514

Logically it's doing this in every conversation.

Millions of incorrect facts being pushed to people. Except it has billions of disconnected person hours of data to get wrong.

It's not stuff like "gypsum is good for clay soil" or "weed tea helps plants grow". These are wives tales and religion like culture. Still structured and as a gardener you can process

With AI there is no culture, it'll tell you something wrong no one else will ever hear. It has no meaning. You're not in the plant when there's a full moon club. It'll be 'smore pop tarts help tomato's grow' club of one.

It also gives you balls to just go do stuff. So tomato tomato. It's no doubt convinced a few people to get cancer checks. But less nihilism would be nice.
Lawful good. Or perhaps even lawful neutral?

What if I make sure to have a drink once a week for the summer with my 18 year old before they go to college because I want them to understand what it's like before they go binge with friends? Is that not ethical?

Speeding to the hospital in an emergency? Lying to Nazis to save a Jew?

Law and ethics are more correlated than some are saying here, but the map is not the territory, and it never will be.
Really cool, I remember a specific incident six odd years ago where I had to wade through tcpdump files to investigate an issue, and wished I could create something like this. I suppose you get more control over data if you're doing it the "hard" way (e.g I don't see an option to use `median`s in here) but I am guessing you likely dont need it in 90% of the cases
Strange little thinkpiece. The classic "No Country for Coal Gen" report in 2017 suggested that most coal generation in the states at that time was being propped up despite being uneconomic due to warped incentives and that the US would save billions just in energy costs by closing them (health and carbon benefits were on top of that energy cost saving and were further billions).

Ironically I have more faith in Communist China actually following the economic incentives in phasing out coal, despite sporadic reports of regional governments alledgedly following their local preogatives to build coal.

> But this isn't the 1970s. The inflation was present but not double-digits. It peaked two years ago, and has been under 4% for over a year. It's close to 2% now. These just aren't throw-the-bums-out numbers.

For most of the less-well-to-do populace, "inflation" is not some official number published by the government. It is what they experience, in their own lives, when trying to make ends meet every week.

In my part of the US (Michigan), many monthly apartment rents rose by more than 50% during Biden's 4 years. Between the already-too-large fractions of their incomes that were going to rent pre-Biden, all the other price increases they were seeing, and Biden's conspicuous lack of interest in them and their plight - those folks had, from their PoV, excellent reason to throw the bums out. And they did - Michigan's 15 Electoral Votes went to Trump.

> let us be clear that a «Perfect transformer architecture», in order to correctly perform induction of the dataset (and «generalize over» it), must also be a "perfect" reasoner.

Respectfully, this is false. The easiest non-technical intuition for why this is false is because the transformer can be trained on any dataset-- if you give it a random noise dataset, it does not produce "reason" but random noise. If you give it a dataset of language full of nonsense, it will produce nonsense. Using the term "reasoning" is an inappropriate anthropomorphism of the vectorized equation y=f(mx+b), which is effectively what a transformer is.

Respectfully again, it's not productive for me to argue the rest of your points because they proceed from this false premise.

The thing I would encourage you to think about is the relationship between the dataset and the transformer.

"Vox Populi, Vox Dei": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Populi%2C_Vox_Dei

While I personally think of democracy as "the worst except for everything else we've tried", there's plenty who speak as if it's tautologically the best.
Here's a bit of a quirk: I uploaded a webcomic as an example, all the dialog was ALL CAPS, but the output was inconsistently either sentence case or title case between panels.

I also tried some real examples a problem I'd like to use OCR with: I've got some old slides that needs digitising, and most of them are labelled, uploading one of these provides the output:

The image appears to be a photograph of a slide or film frame, possibly from an old camera or projector. The slide is yellowed with age and has a rectangular cutout in the center, which is filled with a dark gray or black material. The cutout is surrounded by a thin border, and there is some text written on the slide in black ink.

The text reads "Once Upon a Time" and is written in a cursive font. It is located at the bottom of the slide, below the cutout. There is also a small number "1069" written in the same font and color, but it is not clear what this number refers to.

Overall, the image suggests that the slide is an old photograph or film frame that has been preserved for many years. The yellowing of the slide and the cursive writing suggest that it may be from the early 20th century or earlier.

So aside from unnecessary repetitious description of the slide, (and the "yellowing" is actually just white balance being off, though I can forgive that), the actual written text (not cursive) was "Once Uniquitous." and the number was 106g. It's very clearly a 'g' and not a '9'.

What I think is interesting about this is that it might be a demonstration of biases in models, it focuses too much on the slide being an antique that it hallucinated a completely cliche title. Also, it missed the forest for the trees and that the "black square" was the slide being front-lit so the text could be read, so the transparency wasn't visible.

Additionally, the API itself seems to have file size or resolution limits that are not documented
The Chinese publish their plans on a 5 year schedule. They abandoned all plans for inland nuclear plants, in total they cancelled twice as much nuclear as the US has currently running.

Doing something a bit more intelligent is VAST increase of capacity of prisons (like 10x, essentially go to the scale of good old gulags), to imprison repeat offenders for a very long time and never have a problem about it.

See all those habitual thieves openly selling stolen stuff in the street "because you can't jail ALL of us". At the present time, no. But the system must have capacity to yes, jail all of them, and indefinitely, so they are never a threat again.

I would argue that people in academia or other tightly coupled bubbles where your career and thus well-being are far more reliant on how your peers evaluate you (especially in humanities where peer reviews are nearly the sole factor of success) is far more tribalist than a typical blue-collar or office environment.

Did you think to market it to small bricks and mortar shops ? You know, these little companies where customers ask for advises. I work with some of them. They often use one phone only for personal and professional calls. Further, they don't have strict separation between work and family things.
If you could add some automation like detecting when the phone is quickly moving (you are in a car, a train, a bike…), or when the phone is not at the workplace it could help them a lot.
I am writing this from a Chromebook with an 8th gen Core i3 CPU. I bought it used for around $50. It has a rather good Linux container which can run even graphical applications. This is not really that limited anymore other than using Chrome instead of a proper browser (Firefox :P). I previously used a quite slow Chromebook which I bought new for around $100. It also had a Linux container, but it was more of a beta feeling and it hardly could run graphical applications.

What is great about those devices is that they are almost perfect thin clients. I also have a big desktop machine running Linux. I remote a lot to it, but with this newer Chromebook it is often enough to do things on itself alone. The biggest perks for me is that they are cheap (easily replaceable), lightweight and have a very long battery life, the keyboard quality and other things are also good. On this newer Chromebook I even wrote most of my thesis for a geographical faculty and even did maps with QGIS.

I am living mostly in a Linux terminal, so with the mentioned old Chromebook I sshed a lot more. I use Zerotier and at times I leave my desktop on and remote to it even on the run with phone tethering.

As of today the majority of China's coal activity in Africa is directly related to China's mining activity in Africa to provide power for ectraction, processing and townships.

That mining activity is 'small' in the sense that Chinese mining companies represent ~ 8 percent of Africa’s total output in the sector and are concentrated in just five countries: Guinea, Zambia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Resource extraction from those regions back to China is currently approx. $13 billion US (for resources that would likely cost 5x that cost if sourced from Canada or Australia)

China is not alone and by no means the greatest extractor; Anglo-American alone accounts for more than double that 8% share.
You must have had some weak computers then because I cannot imagine that being true with any modern and/or powerful system.
FIFA claimed the 2022 World Cup final reached 1.5 billion people worldwide, but again that seems like it was mostly via broadcast television and cable.

As far as single stream, Disney's Hotstar claimed 59 million for last year's Cricket World Cup, and as far as the YT platform, the Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing hit 8 million.

100 million is a lot of streams, let alone 300. But also note that not every stream reaches a single individual.

And, as far as the 59 million concurrent streams in India, the bitrate was probably very low (I'd wager no more than 720p on average, possibly even 480p in many cases). It's again a very different problem across the board due to regional differences (such as spread of devices, quality of network, even behavioral differences).
I finally took a different path and did it with VFD. No high voltage, they're cheaper, and one could say VFDs and Nixies are family :p

I took the open source project Flora-ESP8266 [0] in the IV-22 size, changed a couple things in the BOM that weren't available, and ordered a bunch of pcbs. Now I have a bunch of extra PCBs that I could use to build extra clocks :-)

I would have loved to change the PCB to use an ESP32 instead, because that project uses ESP8285 (something like an 8266 but a bit more powerful) and those are harder to come by today.

And while anyone can observe the very significant differences in income and wealth among individuals, on its own that observation implies nothing under the constrained vision in which “equality” is seen as a “process characteristic” (everyone is treated equally), but is proof positive of injustice in the unconstrained vision, where equality is seen as a “result characteristic” (everyone achieves equal outcomes).

I think she puts her finger on a really fundamental divide here. I see variations on this theme argued about constantly, and neither side seems influenced by the other's arguments. On one extreme a rich man's wealth is evidence of his good character, on the other, his bad character. These world views can't be reconciled except by moral contortionists. If we let each camp vote for their own government the results would be at least as different as Kamala and Donald.

That’s bad advice. ZynQ brings the steepest learning curve. The developer needs understand FPGA development including tooling, ARM buses and Linux kernel. That’s way too much for a beginner.

The path with normal FPGA like Artix 7 or Spartan 7 and softcore processor would bring one much further. AXI specification alone is few hundred pages.
Actually if we're practical about it 6 million would probably have been enough.
Most commenters here focus on how fast and heavy Teslas are, while for me the overwhelmingly most likely explanation is Tesla's long-promised and still half-baked autopilot - either by directly getting drivers into sticky situations or just training them not to pay due attention to the road. Except for this one factor, Teslas ought to be better than average due to premium segment, modern construction techniques and a full array of active safety gear.

Last time I tried to build GDB from source, which was some two months ago, it wasn't in any way simple. GDB comes embedded in some GNU binutils repo, instructions to build it in isolation weren't obvious.

I ended up creating a new VM with a more recent Linux distro, that came with newer GDB, and migrating everything I'm working on to it, because that was much easier than building GDB from source.

It is in fact a time when HODL the Magnificent Seven has been a great trade for years: it hasn’t been this easy to turn money into more money since the 1920s.

Is there a metric which lets us track how far/close we are to do something useful with quantum computers?

And when we look at that metric and extrapolate its progression over the last years, when do we expect QCs to hit datacenters?
The most remarkable thing is using frontier models to write and then run code on quantum computers (eg IBM’s). It’s amazing — you can even teach with a “creative coding” approach (without the multiple courses in quantum physics).

It’s not even the code that is the hardest part. In general, it is very difficult to frame a given problem domain (ie, any other field of science or optimization problem) as a problem addressable with a quantum computer. Quantum computer scientists have not made this easy—with LLMs, it still isn’t trivial, but it is a huge leap in accessibility.

Warning: LLMs hallucinate a ton within this area. Many things can go wrong. But the fact that sometimes they are correct is amazing to me.

We’ve run some studies showing the importance of expertise in this area: participants with quantum background and coding skills were much more effective at solving quantum problems with LLMs than novices, for instance.
