No disagreement, although the sampling + search procedure is obviously adding quite a lot to the capabilities of the system as a whole, so it really should be considered as part of the architecture. It's a bit like AlphaGo or AlphaZero - generating potential moves (cf LLM) is only a component of the overall solution architecture, and the MCTS sampling/search is equally (or more) important.
It’s already happening all over social media
> Actually, the main assumption that leads to the Kelly criterion is that you will have future opportunities to bet with the same edge, not constrained by the amount.

Not the same edge -- any edge! And this condition of new betting opportunities arriving every now and then is a fairly accurate description of life, even if you walk out of the casino.
Xmr aims to be a digital cash, and basically achieves that. Btc has goals more akin to digital gold, hence being more useful to speculators than people buying things is somewhat intentional.

I don't know who the oligarchs you're talking about are. Buterin? Bankman Fried? In either case, their position is quite different from that of a banking titan.

If they skip or remove from playlists, this would not be a problem would it? These songs would not have a meaningful volume of listeners.

Is consumers are actually listening to is, I fail to see harm.

Musicians are harmed only in the sense that consumers don't mind listening to slop instead of listening to their music.

And Debian is OK with that, because Debian is not a for-profit company that paid it's developers money to make a product, thus they don't care that others get it and resell it.

For a company, the product itself, what makes money, cannot be OSS, as it makes its resell value effectively zero. If the software was OSS, then the software is _not_ the product, but added values are (support, consulting, etc... the classic trope)

But if the software itself wants to be the product, and is created by devs who require their monthly salary, typically the question is between a non-FOSS license or it not existing at all to begin with. Not between a non-FOSS and a FOSS license.

In your blog you say:

> deep learning doesn't allow models to generalize properly to out-of-distribution data—and that is precisely what we need to build artificial general intelligence.

I think even (or especially) people like Altman accept this as a fact. I do. Hassabis has been saying this for years.

The foundational models are just a foundation. Now start building the AGI superstructure.

And this is also where most of the still human intellectual energy is now.

In Apple Music I look forward to the playlist of 100% new (to you?) songs that it offers every Friday. The Discovery station is usually good too, but I find more keepers from the Friday playlist than others usually.

Bandcamp is definitely the best for finding completely new artists and genres though, for me at least. Something about their featured “New and Notable” posts makes me willing to just try a new genre or artist, much more readily than other services. And I strongly agree on your point about user profiles being public. The “what’s your favorite song on this album” and “why do you love this album” text fields that you can see all over are full of comments that are just wonderful.

You're right not to trust cloud providers with your life's history. They are not trustworthy.

They’re not wrong though. The frequency with which these things still just make shit up is astonishingly bad. Very dismissive of a legitimate criticism.
For us it was a mixture of multiple things: It’s a very mature library that has been stable over the last years and became the de facto standard in web-based visualizations, where—just as in Rerun—interactivity plays an important role. The predefined forces that ship with it make it very flexible and are easily extensible. Finally, having worked with it a fair amount in the past, personal preferences surely played their part as well.
I think this was true a decade ago, where people used social media to talk to each other and actively kept chats with friends, etc.

What I’m seeing now is social media got so hyper optimized for engagement that it became a passive consumption mechanism, and the only “socialization” left is sharing memes. It’s a widespread digital heroin epidemic
I know the article sort of touches on it but I only recall WAP as being a sort of mark up language akin to a mobile HTML rather than a network layer protocol. My old site (probably late 90s) had a wap.mysite.com subdomain which I hosted them on and which seemed to work well on my limited testing - I don't recall setting anything special up with the hosting - just the same hosting as the regular site. It worked very well on the contemporary mobiles but did I miss something back then?

I would argue that is also most “into the sun” we can reasonably get.

I would just argue that “happy and productive“ is vastly too reductive. This seems like a very difficult definition to nail down, but those needs which are not required for survival would probably be defined as something like “those things which increase the flourishing of, maximize the potential of, and/or contribute to a valid and lasting feeling of deep satisfaction in the individual.”

From this definition, it seems like some drugs and some uses of drugs are most certainly not necessary while others seem to be contributing to a real psychological need. Some drugs can give people insight into the nature of their own mind or of their experience, or reshape their worldview for the better. They can allow us to experiment with our own consciousness, which seems to be something that we derive a lot of satisfaction and even utility from. In these cases, drugs may be fulfilling a need. Simultaneously we can recognize that drug use intended more just to anesthetize or produce blind pleasure is most likely not contributing to a need, as it was defined above.

Even his cheapest estimates are still in the $100,000 USD range; I don't think you can support enough tourists to colonise Mars when the ticket alone costs that much.

I can see plenty of people going to Mars — religious groups, cults, anyone who wants to explore the final frontier, the most extreme preppers (which Musk arguably is given his "multi-planetary" arguments), and anyone who would like to build their own mountain-sized space castle.

What I can't figure out what any of those people might sell to Earth such that people on Earth are willing to trade for it, except for information which people on Earth can also produce without paying so much for a ticket.

> Opera Mini/Mobile ran some sort of proxy service that made things faster [...]

In 2017ish, I've overheard from a friend who used to work for Opera, that back in their time they were using Presto (their in-house engine) on the backend to pre-render/optimise/compress pages. Think smart VPN/proxy.

Also, heck yes, Opera on "dumb" phones was an amazing experience - compared to the built-in contemporary browsers.

Correct. You can also share your location with friends. A lot of friend groups (at least my age) use Find My as a kind of social network.
It's a different beast, these days, though.

Back then, only "nerds" socialized online. Nowadays, everyone does it.

I'm of two minds about this.

On one hand, I'm really glad that kids aren't screwing up their formative years. Drug use during growing/development years can wreck someone's life.

The issue is that, if you are an addict (which is different from physical addiction. Many addicts never get physically addicted to anything), then you'll eventually have problems with drugs; even if they are "socially acceptable" ones, like pot or alcohol (pot being "socially acceptable" is kinda new, around here, but Things Have Changed).

It'll still destroy your life, but, at least, you'll hopefully have something like an education, and living skills, by then, which can help Recovery (and also hinder it).
My gut agrees with you, but my evidence is that, whenever we do an event, we hire photographers to capture it for us and are almost always glad we did.

And then when I peruse these photographers websites, I'm reminded how good 'professional' actually is and value them. Even in today's incredible cameraphone and AI era.

But I take your point for almost all industries, things are changing fast.

I get your point, but I think the opposite of it.

For one, there is nothing wrong with a subscription model, in exchange for a service. How else is a continuous service supposed to be funded, if not continually? This is not encouraging bad behavior, it's a fair exchange. It's not anti-consumer at all. I don't see how it's different from my electricity bill, for example.

>all that is available for free.

The free opportunity does not mean that it's the best course of action automatically, same as how not every legal thing is moral or encouraged also. For example, computer games are also available to me for free, even legally, because in Hungary, I'm entitled to have my personal copy of an intellectual property, no matter how I got it. Going on with this, choosing to pirate all my games would be optimal, as it would require the least amount of resources from me. But then, I don't just want to maximize my own gains, I want to see a healthy gaming ecosystem, where the creators of the games are financially rewarded for their effort, so that they are enabled to create more or better games. So, I contribute to this ecosystem with my money. Even subscriptions, so to say, for example I always buy the "game pass" for my multiplayer game of choice, because while I bought the game also, they host the servers, do matchmaking and create in-game content continually - so I participate continually as well.

I kinda get the point that with these subscriptions, we don't get to own what we "buy". But I think that if one realizes this, and consciously goes into a transaction like this, then it is not a problem. In fact, I don't want to own many things, for example, the YouTube videos I watch I specifically don't want to own. What I enjoy is the access, and the experience, and I don't mind at all to pay for those.
I rather move all important stuff out of email and back it up with more relevant tool.

To be calm that if all email is lost - it’s not a big deal.

I find the idea of backing up whole email life silly.

You don’t back up your physical post from beginning of ages, right? You rather keep only small fraction of most valuable things while dumping once in a while all temporarily important stuff.

Email is not a goal for me, just a mean to an end.

This is a lot of noise around what's clearly not even an order of magnitude to the way to AGI.

Here's my AGI test - Can the model make a theory of AGI validation that no human has suggested before, test itself to see if it qualifies, iterate, read all the literature, and suggest modifications to its own network to improve its performance?

That's what a human-level performer would do.

There are a lot of people here who don't seem to have a problem with the bait and switch business Spotify is doing here.

As a former (paid) composer, I know how, pardon my words, the music industry is utterly fucked up today.

That said we shouldn't just be cool with what Spotify is doing. Let me put it this way, what is happening is similar to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Personally I don't think much of Spotify today, and hope that we go back to buying music on medias and owning the music purchases. That is the key, to bringing back some sense to the Music (and Game btw) industry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Find_My

> Find My is an asset tracking service made by Apple Inc. that enables users to track the location of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, tvOS devices, AirPods, AirTags, and a number of supported third-party accessories through a connected iCloud account. Users can also show their primary device's geographic location to others, and can view the location of others who choose to share their location. Find My was released alongside iOS 13 on September 19, 2019, merging the functions of the former Find My iPhone (known on Mac computers as Find My Mac) and Find My Friends into a single app. On watchOS, Find My is separated into three different applications: Find Devices, Find People and Find Items.

I mean, lock down absolutely was a disruption - but I know more than one or two young men that ended up in the desert after 9/11. Maybe we’ve also acclimated so much to the post-9/11 infrastructure of fear and surveillance that we assume this is how it always was?
I wrote a simple BASIC interpreter based on happy memories of the speccy, but to be honest I have more fun these days writing toy projects in z80 assembly.

I guess it's all about nostalgia either way though. The early experience in hacking games for infinite lives lead me to assembly, and z80 became x86. There was a lot in common removing anti-copying protection to getting infinite lives! Though modern games don't really appeal to me as much as Dizzy did, or the old-school fighting games.

> The level playing field is interesting.

I've been an assistant to a professor teaching introductory programming at a university. And we chose ML (later Haskell), as the first programming language, exactly because of this reason. Weaker students with no programming experience can build their knowledge on top of their mathematical knowledge from school. Whereas stronger students, with lots of programming experience, were challenged to reconsider their assumptions. Both groups did learn significantly.

> Your math department doesn't begin with addition

Well, ... actually, ... "Mathematik für Informatiker I" (mathematics for computer scientist I) did start with groups, then abelian groups, i.e. addition.
Haha. Hopefully you’re right and solving the ARC puzzle translates to solving all of physics. I just remain skeptical about the OpenAI hype. They have a track record of exaggerating the significance of their releases and their impact on humanity.
it's not about the tag, it's about the claim that putting /clicked in the href or equivalent is somehow superior to $("#the-button"). click(function () { do stuff here}).
This was how I browsed the web on the go for the better part of a decade, before browser became good enough and prices (and download times) per megabyte cheap/fast enough to actually use the full web on mobile devices.

It was absolutely amazing. And it's still around! I have an install on my iPhone; while the app seems to be unpublished in most western countries' App Store, I can still use it just fine. I believe the Android and J2ME versions are still actively installable.

Although I just gave it a try, and the iOS version seems to not be the real deal anymore; it seems to use a media compression proxy and regular WebKit to render on the iOS side. The Android version still does server-side rendering.
> They are confident they are able to do so

I am certain they are confident they are able to effect change within the limitations that the economic system provides, which is also another difference.
That's not a fork in the sense normally used by the free software community. It's better than nothing, to be sure, and if Xerox had adopted this license back in 1980 maybe we wouldn't even be talking about free software today. But FUTO still maintains some control over what your fork can and cannot do, which violates freedom 1.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether this licensing approach is right or wrong, I just doubt "anyone from the team" would find lrvick's post a compelling argument for switching to a free software license considering their stated goals.

Investors at throwing money at ai projects. That is one upside.
That's a bit of a non-statement. Virtually all prices increase because of money supply, but we consider things to get cheaper if their prices grow less fast than inflation / income.

General inflation has outpaced the inflation of electricity prices by about 3x in the past 100 years. In other words, electricity has gotten cheaper over time in purchasing power terms.

And that's whilst our electricity usage has gone up by 10x in the last 100 years.

And this concerns retail prices, which includes distribution/transmission fees. These have gone up a lot as you get complications on the grid, some of which is built on a century old design. But wholesale prices (the cost of generating electricity without transmission/distribution) are getting dirt cheap, and for big AI datacentres I'm pretty sure they'll hook up to their own dedicated electricity generation at wholesale prices, off the grid, in the coming decades.

Importantly, it works in a peer-to-peer kind of way. Apple devices act as kind of beacons and nearby iPhones can notify Apple servers of any nearby devices they detect (in a way not decryptable by Apple, only by the owner of the devices).

So AirTags, MacBooks, and turned-off iPhones are findable via passing-by turned-on iPhones.
Based on what evidence? AI models haven’t created the best of anything yet.
