It’s not just a protocol buffer for concepts though (weak wharf Sapir, lakoff’s ubiquitous metaphors). Language itself is also a concept layer and plasticity and concept development is bidirectional. But (I’m not very versed in the language here re ‘latent space’) I would imagine the forward pass through layers converges towards near-token-matches before output, so you have very similar reason to token/language reasoning even in latent/conceptual reasoning? Like the neurons that nearly only respond to a single token for ex.
Backward compatibility is one thing but not having a forward compatibility is a killer.

Having to create a binary that targets a very specific set of hardware and having no guarantees and in fact having a guarantee that it won’t on future hardware is what make ROCM unusable for anything you intend to ship.

What’s worse is that they also drop support for their GPUs faster than Leo drops support for his girlfriends once they reach 25…

So not only that you have to recompile there is no guarantee that your code would work with future versions of ROCM or that future versions of ROCM could still produce binaries which are compatible with your older hardware.

Like how is this not the first design goal to address when you are building a CUDA competitor I don’t fucking know.
And you're coming at this from a profit doesn't drive up the cost of medical care which is in and of itself a pretty gross misunderstanding of what profit is. Again, did you read what you cited? That redditor is justifying the cap that BCBS wants to implement, not disproving that Medicare does not implement a time cap.

I'm not here to do your research for you. CMS regs and guidelines are a matter of public record. If you don't want to actually cite the comparable regs you claim exist that's not my problem.

fleeing to abstraction.

You're citing an insurance actuary who posted to reddit claiming no, it's not the for-profit insurance companies that are the problem, it's the corrupt doctors. That's absolutely fucking asinine. What next? A fox claiming it's the chickens that are the problem?

Unlike private insurance companies, the rules and regs that Medicare puts forth are a matter of public record and you're still unable to cite anything supporting your claim that Medicare puts a hard time limit on anesthesia reimbursement. So go ahead, stop waving your hands and start citing something. You do understand what time units are, right?

What's that? You're going to continue tilting at windmills and railing against the evils of overpaid doctors instead of showing anything that supports your specious claims about Medicare? Okay then.

That's a bold assumption. Much of that assumption is predicated on the ability for the masses to revolt.

Wait for what will come after. Look at all the Arab Spring revolutions, and you see in their wake a number of dictatorships.

Anyhow, I'm not saying this is 100% how it's going to play out, but I definitely wouldn't bet against it. Holding all the keys and having all the resources are the wealthy, and the wealthy have no motivation to voluntarily just give up their position in society. And when humans have no value to leverage/be extracted in order to generate more wealth, their will be no way for the vast majority of people to become wealthy. Raw materials will still be valuable however, but, of course, these are controlled by the wealthy. And if those in power wish to gatekeep access to AGI, they can leverage their wealth and resources to automate a military and thus protect the raw materials that keep them in power.

You haven't presented any research at all, so it's not clear to me how that could a valid rebuttal to anything I've said. You're talking about how "profit" distorts this system --- I agree, for what it's worth --- and it looks to me like you're just fleeing to abstraction.

Not that Android is hackable these days anyway. Remote attestation, yet another thing that needs to get banned.

Your position assumes an answer to OPs question: that yes, LLMs are the path to AGI. But the question still remains, what if they’re not?

We can be reasonably confident that the components we’re adding to cars today are progress toward full self driving. But AGI is a conceptual leap beyond an LLM.
Following this thread all I see is you aggressively asserting a certain viewpoint, with no substantiation. I have no stake in the game but if you're going to come out swinging with aggressive naysaying but zero substantiation, all I'm thinking is: "citation needed".
Ah thank you for actually reading the referenced study
Information society has dial tones too....
Amazing. I wonder what their generations "AI" was.
Two thoughts:

1. Even if LLM architecture doesn't work out, it's wise to remember that it's the quality of training data which is a deciding factor. A pivot is easily doable since this is a constant and disconnected from the technology itself.

2. This is clearly a moonshot project but it still feels wasteful especially with context of previous iterations of models and their shortcomings-it feels like the tremendous amount of money available is being used simply because it's available.
It's a similar story around extant ancient/indigenous cultures. And similarly we've seen apathy from elites, especially when indigenous rights get in the way of resource extraction or generating wealth in any way, and also witnessed condescension towards indigenous peoples by large segments of the world population. That's not to detract from the many defenders of indigenous rights, but if we look a the state of how older cultures, designated as 'obsolete' by wider society have been treated, I don't humans will fare well when silicon takes over.

You can convert static data structures like these into dynamic ones with about a logarithmic slowdown. So it might still be worthwhile.

(You could also combine a static filter with a dynamic bloom filter in front. A bit like generational garbage collection.)
As I noted in another comment, it was a remarkable accomplishment that Mac OS X was reasonably recognizable to Mac users and ran the same apps (via Classic and Carbon), all while having a completely different core OS under the hood (though as another poster noted they had prior experience building Mac-on-Unix environments.)

Apple has pulled off a number of surprisingly successful "brain transplant" transitions for the Mac platform, including moving from 68K to PowerPC to intel to ARM. In each case, the user experience remained largely the same and old apps continued to run via emulation.

Spam, link farming, shilling, and shitposting has not only become an unstoppable disaster, now they are apparently keen to go after people trying to use the tools provided to them to help moderate content. I was threatened with a ban for violating rule 8, using reporting tools to harass and ironically spam. It was automated of course, so I appealed and after several months they told me it was upheld but just gave me a warning. I doubt they really looked at it at all, as I don’t think anyone’s steering the ship anymore.

And that’s just it. After the API changes, mod revolt, AI scraping deal, and IPO, the owners got what they wanted while in the process breaking the back of the community and now it’s virtually rudderless and adrift, and would probably drop off the radar entirely if it weren’t for all the effluence openly running through it every day. I wasn’t using the site much after the API changes, but the disdain I was treated with sealed the deal.
I have needed 0 LLM tools to efficiently do my job since any release of any models. This predates OpenAI. The code suggestion/autocomplete has been sometimes nice but rarely is what I’m going to type out.

I don’t discourage use of LLMs but I don’t encourage it either. If you need to pay OpenAI to get your work done then that’s on you.
Is auth that difficult? The truly difficult problem is cryptography and that's the code you really don't want to write. But most authentication schemes are well-known. No need to import a library, and if you do, you should be prepared to vendor it in.
I would imagine that it’s hard to remove content like that. Is it breaking any T&Cs? Is it illegal? Is it harmful to users? If not it’s hard to draw a line and apply it correctly in such a way that you don’t get sued for things like this.

Alternatively, Manifest v3 is supposed to make things like this a lot harder. Users would need to activate the plugin rather than the plugin popping up all the time if I understand it correctly. Manifest v3 was designed to enforce better privacy practices in the Wild West of browser extensions.
I disagree with everything you commented.

As a self-taught developer I absolutely promise you don't need to go to any school to learn the requisite skills to achieve a variety of complex things. You absolutely can learn from both trial and observation.

Yes, everyone actually is potentially a developer, because there are no baselines to the contrary. I have met many developers that should never have been there professionally. Not everybody is capable of actual engineering though, as engineers follow processes and measure things. So many people writing code for a living absolutely cannot measure things.

I think your fundamental problem is loss of empathy. Perhaps you understand your own limitations but do not seem to understand other people learn differently than you do or may have wildly different experiences than you have.
Most instances of most NP hard problems are fast and easy to solve in practice.

Unfortunately I still have a soft spot for beautiful writing. The "point" often sticks better when it is expressed eloquently. Having to think a little bit to get to the point also helps with absorbing it, at least in my experience.
That's oversimplifying things a bit.

Not OP, but I also keep a private log.

Simply put, different things go in there, compared to a public one; let alone a public one with intended visibility.

And some of the most useful logs are the most private ones.

Plus, not sure how much I'd trust a person's public logs if I knew they were made to be both public and publicized. My expectation in that scenario would be that actions were embellished / inflated accordingly. Everybody has on and off days, but I'd be very surprised to see this openly admitted in a public log; after all, what good could ever come from it?!

I used to go through my daily logs at the end of the week and pick the most important, non-personal, work-related things that happened in the week, and add them to a separate weekly log. This I was happy to open in public in the middle of a conversation if necessary ... but I would never open my private log in front of anyone. It's too private.
> she deflects into "performance is what matters," which is the kind of denial that rhymes exactly with the problems they are having.

It's not a deflection, but a straightforward description of AMDs current top-down market strategy of partnering with big players instead of doubling down to have a great OOBE for consumers & others who don't order GPUs by the pallet. It's an honest reflection if their current core competencies, and the opportunity presented by Nvidia's margins.

They are going for a bang-for-buck right now aiming at data center workloads, and the hyperscalers care a lot about perf/$ than raw performance at. Hyperscalers are also more self-sufficient at software: they have entire teams working on PyTorch, Jax, and writing kernels.

> The Singularity is caused by AI being able to design better AI.

That's perhaps necessary, but not sufficient.

Suppose you have such a self-improving AI system, but the new and better AIs still need exponentially more and more resources (data, memory, compute) for training and inference for incremental gains. Then you still don't get a singularity. If the increase in resource usage is steep enough, even the new AIs helping with designing better computers isn't gonna unleash a singularity.

I don't know if that's the world we live in, or whether we are living in one where resources requirements don't balloon as sharply.

I'm not sure why you think the two are incompatible? Commit Cloud is pretty great but makes more sense in a corporate environment. You don't have to upload every automatic commit that gets made locally, though you could choose to if the capacity requirements work out.

Yes, I think this is the major factor to consider. If it’s only the cost that’s stopping it from replacing real people, then it’s a matter of a few to max several years to be more than cost effective.
I would go beyond auth to areas where there historically have been security bugs. Parsing JPEG files for instance, I can write a parser and can probably choose a modern safe language to avoid many classes of bugs, but a popular open source library is more likely to have been fuzzed by dozens of techniques from multiple companies and universities. The code is more resilient because it has been out there to be experimented on in public.
I'm really not sure what you mean. Nobody argues that KYC is easy or non-burdensome, which is why it's not being applied everywhere else in our lives. A company like "Print-on-demand merch retailer TeePublic" would find it procedurally difficult and probably economically infeasible to rigorously verify the identity of everyone who sends it a notice of copyright infringement.

It sounds like you may be envisioning a system where the burden is offloaded onto the people sending a notice, but that's just not possible. If you get an email from some person Alice you've never heard of before, you fundamentally cannot know just from reading the email whether it was sent by the actual Alice, or someone pretending to be Alice, or whether there's even such a person as Alice in the first place. To tell the difference, you would have to research Alice and find some independent way to corroborate her identity.
You're conflating two things: a DMCA counter-notice by an alleged infringer, and the refusal of an intermediary to honor a DMCA takedown notice. Your statement is a mixture of claims that are true about one or the other of those separate things.

DMCA counter-notice:

* Sent by an alleged infringer (in this case, that would be the artist) to an intermediary (in this case, TeePublic) asserting that a takedown notice the intermediary received was invalid.

* Requires the alleged infringer to provide information about themself ("authentically dox").

* Can enable the intermediary to restore access to the material without losing their liability shield.

* Doesn't affect the alleged infringer's copyright infringement liability in any direction (though as with takedown notices, there's the potential for perjury). If the alleged infringer committed copyright infringement, they were already liable for it, and remain so; if they didn't, then they never were liable and still aren't.

Intermediary refusal:

* Simply a lack of action on a takedown notice by the intermediary to whom it was sent.

* Doesn't require anyone to dox themselves, or to do anything in particular. The intermediary can throw the takedown notice in the garbage and go about their day.

* Removes the intermediary's liability shield; the intermediary can potentially be liable for infringement, when they would otherwise would have been immune.
