So all Jessie Pinkman's got to do is ask the under cover police if it's okay to sell them meth and then they can't be arrested for it?

Entrapment is reserved for the police going above and beyond, eg "sell me meth or I'll kill your dog" where it can be argued that the entrapped normally would not do the crime.

Today educated humans are more valuable than anything else on earth, but AGI changes that. With cheap AGI raw resources and infrastructure will be the only two valuable things left.

- no way to access it if we develop technology to get clean energy from material that's currently seen as waste

- the sun is one of the most expensive destinations in the solar system, in terms of energy budget

- underground, on the moon, even Pluto or interstellar space, would be cheaper

- very extensive & well engineered shielding would be needed to protect against release in case of a launch mishap, but once you've encapsulated it that thoroughly, it's actually safe to keep basically anywhere, & there's little point actually launching it

Software is not considered a “product”, so it doesn’t come with the government protections against companies that sell defective or dangerous products.

Also, you don’t pay for Google. It’s a free search engine and a free email service. You get tech support if you pay for the enterprise workspace features.
In general, that's probably considered around the nadir of a lot of US cities. When I graduated from grad school in about the mid-80s, aside from some finance people in Manhattan, my classmates mostly didn't move into cities. I'm not sure anyone I knew went to live in Boston in spite of quite a few getting jobs in the area--but pretty much all the computer companies were in the suburbs/exurbs. Boston was losing population until the very late 90s or so.

The trend for many new college grads to strongly prefer cities is a relatively recent phenomenon.

> Training on the train set does not make the models capabilities narrow

Humans didn't need to see the training set to pass this, the AI needing it means it is narrower than the humans, at least on these kind of tasks.

The system might be more general than previous models, but still not as general as humans, and the G in AGI typically means being as general as humans. We are moving towards more general models, but still not at the level where we call them AGI.
I live in Arlington, VA where I once saw a purse snatcher being chased by 5 cops. Only to have 3 more show up after the guy was on the ground. They all had their own cars too.

During COVID, I called the non emergency line police for a break in on my car parked on the street and the police showed up in minutes then searched the area frantically to see if the guy was still around.

I don’t know if they are over funded or just bored.

Compiling a tiny subset of C, that is. It might be so tiny as to be useless in practice.

I have low hopes for this kind of approach; it’s sure to hit the limits of what’s possible with static analysis of C code. Also, choosing Rust as the target makes the problem unnecessarily hard because Rust’s ownership model is so foreign to how real C programs work.
What? Competent Windows admins are probably the best/most hardworking sysadmins in the world. Not because they're inherently better, but windows is so complex and dumb, you have to be great to be good at this.

I know AGI is a bit of a moving goalpost these days, but by my personally anecdotal and irrelevant opinion this ain’t AGI.

I’ll let those smarter than me debate the merits of AGI, but if it can’t learn and self-improve it isn’t “general” intelligence.

This is a very smart computer, accomplishing a very niche set of problems. Cool? Yes. AGI? No.
I suggest you read up on or watch a documentary on the 60s. We are fucking pampered today.
Because it's not merely mutable, it's exclusive. You get a static guarantee that, for as long as you can use this reference, this is the only reference in the entire program that can mutate this memory.

This is automatically thread-safe, without any locks. It's guaranteed that there can't be any side effects that could affect this memory, no matter what code you call. You don't need any defensive coding copying the memory just in case. It optimizes well, because it's certain that it won't overlap with any other region.

C++ doesn't have that kind of strong no-alias guarantee. Even memory behind const pointers can be mutated by something else at distance. The closest equivalent is C's restrict pointers, but they're more coarse-grained, and aren't checked by the compiler.
> The original comment’s implication that infrastructure damage is somehow more damaging than the human death toll is abhorrent.

If you're referring to my comment, you misunderstood. It's not "more damaging" -- it's that the two are highly correlated, and that damage to infrastructure and shelter is indicative of the "war on noncombatants" nature of this conflict. We don't know how many deaths there are, but we can see with our own eyes how the entire territory is being rendered unfit for habitation.
If it wasn’t that, wouldn’t it have been a lightning strike, or something else? Fundamentally, the problem is that the houses were in an area that has become incredibly flammable. It’s not all PG&E’s fault.

Based on just your intuition. Since you don't have access to the backend specs or code, assuming this isn't a responsible security practice. It is a shortcut you can choose to take personally but should never take with any professional credentials.

I'm going to point out that you responded "Not true." instead of adding a caveat about how you personally choose to ignore security best practices for personal accounts.

The article says the ensemble of Kaggle solutions (aggregated in some unexplained way) achieves 81%. This is better than their average Mechanical Turk worker, but worse than their average STEM grad. It's better than tuned o3 with low compute, worse than tuned o3 with high compute.

There's also a point on the figure marked "Kaggle SOTA", around 60%. I can't find any explanation for that, but I guess it's the best individual Kaggle solution.

The Kaggle solutions would probably score higher with more compute, but nobody has any incentive to spend >$1M on approaches that obviously don't generalize. OpenAI did have this incentive to spend tuning and testing o3, since it's possible that will generalize to a practically useful domain (but not yet demonstrated). Even if it ultimately doesn't, they're getting spectacular publicity now from that promise.

I would agree that modern childhood is protracted to what is perhaps a damaging extent, but would also argue that the stresses and anxieties of everyday life are more constant and overbearing than the human psyche is equipped to handle. It’s mot healthy for well-adjusted adults either. We’re built for dangers and stresses that come in relatively short bursts, not those that are without end.

PyO3 0.23.0 was a big release I’ve been tinkering with extensively. Support for “free-threaded Python” is a headline feature, and I imagine NoGIL Python will be extremely nice for Rust interoperability, so there is definitely interest in that crate. Also could be huge for queueing data for GPUs, api servers, and bulk data fetching.

For whatever reason (maybe post 2to3 PTSD), Python community seems not extremely eager to jump on latest versions of Python and it often takes a long time for popular libraries to support the latest and greatest, so I’d recommend patience and baby steps

Octopus is doing hourly blocks, and is limited to a single provider. It's an interesting idea and broadly heads in the right direction, but is far away from what I'm describing.

What I describe would be real-time with seconds-level granularity and operated by the grid operator as part of the distribution network and thus provider-agnostic. The idea is to (financially) incentivize people to shift their demand and production around grid fluctuations in real-time - this should allow everyone to get "more" out of the grid by better coordinating supply and production and respond to unexpected events.
It's important to consider that the average person is probably much less likely to eat a spatula that is on fire.

> The benchmark is designed to test for AGI and intelligence, specifically the ability to solve novel problems.

It's a bunch of visual puzzles. They aren't a test for AGI because it's not general. If models (or any other system for that matter) could solve it, we'd be saying "this is a stupid puzzle, it has no practical significance". It's a test of some sort of specific intelligence. On top of that, the vast majority of blind people would fail - are they not generally intelligent?

The name is marketing hype.

The benchmark could be called "random puzzles LLMs are not good at because they haven't been optimized for it because it's not valuable benchmark". Sure, it wasn't designed for LLMs, but throwing LLMs at it and saying "see?" is dumb. We can throw in benchmarks for tennis playing, chess playing, video game playing, car driving and a bajillion other things while we are at it.

So I'm thinking of something like Locked-room mystery where the idea is it's solvable, and the reader is given a chance to solve.

There’s probably enough VC money to subsidize the costs for a few more years.

But the data centres running the training for models like this are bringing up new methane power plants at a fast rate at a time when we need to be reducing reliance on O&G.

But let’s assume that the efficiency gains out pace the resource consumption with the help of all the subsidies being thrown in and we achieve AGI.

Interesting, because I almost think of it the opposite way. LLMs are like system 1 thinking, fast, intuitive, based on what you consider most probable based on what you know/have experienced/have been trained on. System 2 thinking is different, more careful, slower, logical, deductive, more like symbolic reasoning. And then some metasystem to tie these two together and make them work cohesively.

In Boston's case specifically, the Big Dig did improve the living experience--after a fairly long period of time. (And there were some incremental public transit improvements.)
