Good for billionaires, and shareholders, capitalists. Bad for labor. Texas is going down the shitter. Local infrastructure is outdated, emergency systems stretched, minimal to no foresight in weatherization of critical systems such as power grid.

Any time it gets below freezing, anxiety shoots through the roof because 2021 was a real fucking disaster. The TX grid is a joke.

Let’s not forget how the state leaders bend to the GOP and use our tax dollars for political stunts (useless border walls used for photo ops, bussing migrants long distances for political theater, sending state guard to border to “protect” border and delay transportation of perishable goods).

I feel bad for people moving here under the allure of “cheap housing”.

- strong climate change denial here due to state leaders being O&G industry puppets

- anti-abortion

- anti-progressive

I can’t wait to leave this shithole.

IMO the critical concept to explain LLM prompt injection and manipulation like this is that almost all these "assistants" are fictional characters in a document that looks like a theater-play script, along with some tricks that "speaks out" the character so that we humans believe it's a real entity. (Meanwhile, our own inputs invisibly become words "spoken" by another "The User" character.)

So the true LLM is a nameless lump tasked with Make Any Document Longer. If for any reason the prior state is "Copilot Says: Sure, " then the LLM is probably going to try to make something that "fits" with that kind of intro.

This becomes extra-dangerous when when the generated play-script has stuff like "Copilot opens a terminal and runs the command X", and some human programmers decided to put in special code to recognize and "act out" that stage-direction.

> AI assistants like Copilot need strong context-awareness

That'll be hard. The LLM is just Making Document Longer, and the document is one undifferentiated string with no ownership. Without core algorithm changes, you're stuck trying to put in flimsy literary guardrails.

Really hardening it means getting closer to the "real" AI of sci-fi stories, where the machine (not just an assembled character named The Machine) recognizes multiple entities as existing, recognizes logical propositions, trakcs which entities are asserting those proposition (and not just referencing them), and assigning different trust-levels or authority.

"Using that argument, actual property isn't property either. The government creates property by enforcing property rights that are really just lines on a government owned map, the government can tax your property, and the government can condemn and take your property for the general welfare."

I'm not sure if you know this or if you're pointing it out, but that's how it works. You have title of of deed similar to a king granting land to nobles. The nobles only own it at the king's pleasure and usually ow a tax. So too it is with the government and property tax and eminent domain, etc.
I believe most of what you're referring to are different situations such as people acting on impulses - either not considering the outcome or being resigned to it.

Another key difference is usually those take place between individuals with roughly the same amount of power (typical disputes, crimes of passion, etc.) and by individuals with more power towards those with less (bullying, abuse, etc.).

People actually taking systematic thought-out steps to infringe on the state's monopoly and doing it from a position of low amounts of power towards a position with high amounts of power are rare and get "charged"[1] with terrorism because that line of thinking is threatening the existing hierarchical power structures and they will absolutely protect themselves.

I drive a convertible with the top almost always down, and have an unusually deep voice, and also hate talking to phones/cars. With my voice, I could never get Alexa or similar things to work at all- until the last few months when Apple's Siri started working perfectly at recognizing everything I say.

I don't love it, but I have to begrudgingly emit it works, and is safer to use. It works even with the top down on the freeway, and music is auto paused while it listens. I have it on a button so I have to press it first for it to listen, and basically only use it for selecting navigation destinations and music.
What was the original link?
By "reasoning" I meant the fact that o*(-mini) does "chain-of-thought", in other words, it prompts itself to "reason" before responding to you, whereas GPT-4o(-mini) just directly responds to your prompt. Thus, it is not appropriate to compare o*(-mini) and GPT-4o(-mini) unless you implement "chain-of-thought" for GPT-4o(-mini) and compare that with o*(-mini).

Having lived in apartments with and without dishwashers its not as much of a time savings as you might realize. the dishwasher needs a degree of maintenance. Dishes have to be loaded precariously in a way to effectively wash them from the sprayer jets. Some dishes have to be washed by hand still. Everything needs rinsing and scraping. Its a modern dishwasher so that means its too weak to dry dishes on dry cycle to skirt energy efficiency standards, so dishes are then loaded into the rack by the sink to dry. and the whole cycle takes like 2 and a half hours.

And I'm wondering why I'm not saving much time and its because the time savings isn't really significant to begin with. Coupled with the fact that when I was hand washing, I'd actually wash dishes as I generated them during cooking. It only takes me about 30 seconds to wash a plate or pan with sink and sponge and soap. I could have most dishes done before dinner was even served saved for the plates and silverware it was eaten with and maybe the last pan in the process, maybe 30 seconds work hardly less effort than the act of rinsing and scraping before the dishes go into the dishwasher.

All that begin said I still use it, but I probably am not saving much, if any time, with the new rituals it requires.
much better, for sure.

If you think any of them (or any of the administration's assembly of billionaires) don't hate each other, you might be misunderstanding how the wealthy and powerful think.

And yet you've developed this knowledge for yourself that applies to other things. Among them you develop probably the most imperative skill which practically nobody focuses on; problem solving. And if you've got kids that share your interests they get that knowledge and experience also.

The downside of this approach is that it can affect the search results returned. But I found that if you add " -fuck" or " -fucking" to your search term, it disables the AI summary without significantly affecting your search results (unless you happen to be looking for content of a certain kind).

It seems like an obvious opinion. Not that it's obviously true, but that the evidence for it is obvious - as in, it shouldn't be a confusing or surprising opinion for somebody to have. You may perfectly reasonably disagree with it, but that's not the same as asking somebody to summarize the story so far under the pretense that you don't know what they're talking about.

I'm sorry, but it's over for OpenAI. Some have predicted this; including me back in November[1] when I wrote "o1 is a revolution in accounting, not capability" which although tongue-in-cheek, has so far turned out to be correct. I'm only waiting to see what Google, Facebook et al. will accomplish now that R1-Zero result is out the bag. The nerve, the cheek of this hysterical o3-mini release—insisting to hide the COT from the consumer still, is telling us one thing and one thing alone: OpenAI is no longer able to adapt to the ever-changing landscape. Maybe the Chinese haven't beaten them yet, but Google, Facebook et al. absolutely will, & without having to resort to deception.

This might be a sub-strategy of the broader manufacturing technique called “binning” in which products of varying quality, size/weight, performance, or some other variable parameter are sorted for later re-combining into similar groups (often to result in different product “grades”), or dissimilar groups to achieve a more uniform total, by average.

Technically true but it's very clear what's going on. The court case was one pretty much everyone agreed Trump would lose. Trump literally told Zuckerberg the court case needed to be resolved if he wanted to get into the inner circle... ta-da, $25m later, it's all gone.

That very much fits any of the censorship China has going on

No, it doesn't. You're criticising in-group blindness. That's a problem. But it's mitigated by a competitive political system because each group has an incentive to call out the other's blinds spots. When this competition ceases, you get groupthink. The last major era of American groupthink was the W. Bush White House. It preceded America's greatest geopolitical disasters in decades.

Under Xi, China went from having quiet competition within the CCP to reigning in a state of groupthink. We don't know what moronic ideas Xi's friends hold because there is nobody in power with an incentive to call that sort of thing out.
It makes it easier to dismiss and thus solidify as precedent, even if nonbinding precedent.

The government is quite sly. They like to introduce evil new techniques on cases or people others will have no sympathy for, in hopes they can build new powers without resistance.
I don't think "keeping up with the news" is really the problem. The problem is that "the news" is primarily about entertainment, not information, and so it isn't actionable. If you care about being informed about actionable information, then your good sources of information are RSS, long-form articles, books, etc.

You may have missed my final sentence.
Art has a broader purpose than just unique artistic expression, indeed. Sometimes it is used to help visualise, create an atmosphere, communicate ideas, so on and forth. AI generated art fulfils these utilitarian purposes, doesn’t it?

People are a bit snobbish about art, but they forget there are thousands of printed t-shirt mills where tons of art is being pumped out so people can wear a message on their body. And thousands of homes and hotel rooms with Kinkade paintings no one will search for meaning in, to make the atmosphere “quaint”. Thousands of home developments with 3D renders on their construction site walls and PowerPoint presentations.

And that’s alright, art has many purposes and applications, even AI. I disagree with the elite-ish tone of the article.

Nah, those are hooligans. They're a nuisance, but they aren't dangerous. In my experience, when the police are distracted (e.g. by a large protest), the real damage comes from organised crime.

You're making a case against racism happening in the 90s, but you also think that if racism was happening in the nineties then the people doing it would have announced in public "FYI everyone I'm doing the racism now" which makes you seem somewhat detached from reality.

This headline and article seem like an over-reading of a technical footnote in the cited case. The relevant part of the footnote (citations omitted, emphasis added)

> It’s not clear how equating “money” with “private property” fits into the relevant analysis of whether an action is “legal” or “equitable” under the Seventh Amendment. ... And certainly CS Lawn cites no precedent for the *remarkable proposition that violations of public rights transform into private rights simply because those violations are enforced by monetary penalties*. ... But, in any event, money is not necessarily “property” for *constitutional purposes*.

and then goes on to discuss how money has been distinguished from property in other constitutional analysis e.g. why all taxes aren't deprivations or takings under the Due Process or Takings clauses. It's not an argument that money does not belong to its owner, but that money is constitutionally differentiated from property, and that differentiation was contemplated by the founders.

NB this is in the context of a business that availed itself the H2-B program contesting a finding by administrative law courts that it failed to adhere to some of the requirements of that program, and is therefore assessed a fine (which was reduced by each successive appeal within the administrative court system). They're effectively arguing, via a grab-bag of constitutional arguments, that they deserve a different sort of trial than they agreed to by (1) using the H2-B program and (2) litigating with the agreed-upon system for four years.
Lets do some dummy math:

2 milion federal employees, lets say half of them has email and each of them spends 1 minute on this.

It costs then 1 milion man-minutes, thats 694 man-days or almost 2 man-years.
So this will cost at least 60k dolars, presuming 30k a year is a minimum salary. It isn't.

Money well spent ! Lets start THE cost cutting :)

Oh, I forgot this is gov, so it will costs at least 10 times more then what I'm counting. And I was very optimistic, employee forced to do unnecessary things will easily spend half a day on this.
It addressed the nonsense: "If you are Chinese or European, etc, it'd make more sense that the government you are sharing to doesn't matter"

If you're American, it matters even more, and every American should make some effort to host their digital materials offshore. (To restate what I wrote below, this was Proton's entire raison d'etre!!) The USA is demonstrably more willing to spy on its own citizens and lock them up than China or any European nation. For e.g., in an incarceration rate nearly 5x higher than China's.

Of course I'm not going to answer irrelevant personal questions.

Erm, why not? A 0.56 result with n=1000 ratings is statistically significantly better than 0.5 with a p-value of 0.00001864, well beyond any standard statistical significance threshold I've ever heard of. I don't know how many ratings they collected but 1000 doesn't seem crazy at all. Assuming of course that raters are blind to which model is which and the order of the 2 responses is randomized with every rating -- or, is that what you meant by "poorly designed"? If so, where do they indicate they failed to randomize/blind the raters?
