By all means, challenge the research if you find it offensive. It might get conservatives to sponsor a public works project for once.

Removing the data (particularly when it can be archived and served at zero cost to the government) is the only way you can waste taxpayer dollars in this situation. The research has been paid for, taxpaying Americans should be able to access it.

I am so tired of the AI doomer argument.

The entire thing is little more than a thought experiment.

> Look at how fast AI has advanced, it you just project that trend out, we'll have human-level agents by the end of the decade.

No. We won't. Scale up transformers as big as you like, this won't happen without massive advances in architecture and hardware.

I believe it is possible, but the idea it'll happen any day now, and by accident is bullshit.

This is one step from Pascal's Wager, but being presented as fact by otherwise smart people.

People keep talking about this as if there's a 0% chance of being caught if you do this?.

So let's suppose that you did set up the service like this. Can you even make 10 K? What are your odds of getting caught? How much do you value not being in prison and/or having to hire a lawyer to get you out of there?

I'd take the 10k every time.
Both are likely dying. Small manufacturers have hard time moving to mass market EV age, even EV pioneering Nissan.
> It's possible to stop developing things

If the US were willing to compromise some of it's core values, then we could probably stop AI development domestically.

But what about the rest of the world? If China or India want to reap the benefits of enhanced AI capability, how could we stop them? We can hit them with sanctions and other severe measures, but that hasn't stopped Russia in Ukraine -- plus the prospect of world-leading AI capability has a lot more economic value than what Ukraine can offer.

So if we can't stop the world from developing these things, why hamstring ourselves and let our competitors have all of the benefits?
> LLMs will not get us to AGI

Yes.

And there is no reason to think that AGI would have desire.

I think people are reading themselves into their fears.
I don't expect China to coordinate with the West, but I think there is a good chance that the only reason Beijing is interested in AI beyond the AI tech they need to keep internal potential revolutionaries under surveillance is to prevent a repeat of the Century of Humiliation (which was caused by the West's technological superiority) so that if the Western governments banned AI, Beijing would be glad to ban it inside China, too.
I would love to be able to update firmware on my garmin watch, but I think that's all tied up in connect (which I don't use) somehow.
But in that case that's already what the comment you were replying to was saying: that higher density results in higher costs. So I guess I'm confused about what your point is. Were you just trying to say you agree?

What are you talking about? I’ve got the books app open now, I can see all of my downloaded books. In fact there’s a whole section in the library for my downloaded books!

Go to library > collections > downloaded.

I can see books I purchased and other PDFs that I uploaded.

I do agree on the Photos redesign. I feel like I constantly get stuck on certain pages.
This declaration is just hand-waving.

Europe is hopeless so it does not make a difference. China can sign and ignore it so it does not make a difference.

But it would not be wise for the USA to have their hands tied up so early. I suppose that the UK wants to go their usual "lighter touch regulation" than the EU route to attract investment. Plus they are obviously trying hard to make friends with the new US administration.
> In my, uh, decade or so of using Git, every single avoidable problem that I have seen people have with Git turns out to originally come from rebasing.

That means that both you and those people do not fully grasp the concept. The problem I have is that those misunderstandings are spread such that I have to deal with it. Especially those that do not understand Git at all keep merging balls of merges of merges. Then they lose track, and decide to just merge main again because something broke and they hope that Git will solve it with just one more merge.

I have no problem with incompetence, I myself am incompetent in a lot of areas, and I know that. When I have to work with people, I have a problem with those that are not able or willing to acknowledge they lack some overview.

Thank you for this hopeful suggestion. I think a relationship isn't in the cards, atm. In her case, I live 1k miles away from her life. More generally, me+5sons live in tight quarters with all incomes needed to make basic bills.

What I left out of my OP is I was competing with her longtime boyfriend and my odds never were good (I did come close a few times tho). He owned an upscale restaurant, for starters. He was also a genuinely good guy. I know they were together a long while; I'd be happy if they still were.

Regardless, I'll be up that way this fall and hopefully we can get caught up.

Steam can fill up much more

I'm getting my Steam games at 2Gbps, and I am suspecting that my aging ISP's "box" is to blame for the cap (didn't want to pay my ISP for the new box that officially supports 8Gbps symmetrical, and just got a SFP+ adapter for the old one). I pay 39€/M for what is supposed to go "up to" 8Gbps/500Mbps on that old box.

Games from Google Drive mirrors are coming at full speed too.

I don’t like watching videos (or rather can’t watch at night, but can read). To date I haven’t found an AI that can produce a good article from a video. No, not just transcribe the video but actually produce a quality article with images and stuff from the video. Like a human who is instructed as “watch this video and produce a very high quality article that talks about the things talked about in the video”.

Has anyone has any luck with this?

It would be awesome if I can give this link to AI that will produce a PDF, each video being a chapter in the PDF.
I don't think it is safe to assume the use patterns of tangible things extend to intangible things; nor the patterns of goods to that of services. I just see this as a conclusory leap.
Why do you think that? There's more people than ever and it's easier than ever for the ones with malicious impulses to find and communicate with each other.

For example, several governments are actively engaged in a live streamed genocide and nothing akin to the 1789 revolt in Paris seems to be underway.
"mass produced hardware doesn’t run into the problem"

Happens all the time, as a production model may take a long time to make it through development and lab certification.

In general, large firms will try to warehouse spools for some bespoke design, but the 3 year contact-oxidation garbage-clock starts the second the component spool/tray leaves the manufacturer.

Thus, one may try to mitigate supply chain instability, but in the end you are still just better off avoiding unicorn parts in your work to begin with... Longer chip lot runs with multiple suppliers having identical packages is usually safer. YMMV =3
I’ve never had my alarm fail, but it looks like others have hit this bug. So by your definition if a product has a bug (even if rare but intrinsic to the functionality), then it’s half baked. Given (effectively) all software has bugs, then by your definition there are no fully baked software products. I think we have very different definitions of what makes a product half or fully baked.

I haven’t used Books extensively outside of audiobooks. So it sounds like there’s offloading of caching going on that’s iCloud wide; disabling iCloud sync would fix this. I can imagine that being frustrating if the book you want isn’t there when you’re on a flight (which should only happen if you haven’t recently accessed it). I agree there should be a way to prevent this. I wouldn’t call that half baked, but it’s a big enough problem I’d agree that’s not fully thought through (or more likely, they did think through it but came to a different conclusion).
You reposted this like 10 times. People will start to complain and and flag it, and send angry emails to dang that may ban your site.

I was going to try to give some recommendations, but I read the article and think it's a good one. I'm not sure why it was not popular here. I blame AI fatigue, there are so many articles about AI that I can't even remember all the AI that are floating around.

Some unrequested advice anyway:

* Use longer titles, like "voyage-3-large: the new state of the art general-purpose embedding model"

* Write a comment explaining you are the author and will reply questions.

* Wait at least a week before posting about similar topics.

* Make a new blog post, this was already reposted toooo much, and people will get angrier with more reposts. (No fake "new post" renaming the URL.)

* Write about a problem that is interesting and this AI can solve easier / cheaper than ChatGPT (or whatever is the relevant equivalent). I like articles that show how the tool is used and are interesting, so you may get my upvote.
I assumed they were American only because they seemed to have an opinion on the import tax America charges on BYD cars. If they live anywhere else, America's import taxes don't impact them.
This is blatantly false.
I will bet many $$$ that no one in this thread has ever gotten 1ms.

If you search "5g latency", Google's AI answer says 1 ms, followed by another quote lift from Thales Group™ saying 4G was 20 ms and 5G is 1ms.

Once you scroll past the automated attempts, you start getting real info.

I really don’t see the argument for patents. It just slows down healthy competition in Western countries while China disregards them and surges ahead. How can we expect to compete when they don’t play by the same rules?
I'm not afraid, I just don't understand the nuances well enough.

But it's also easy to understand what there is to be scared about:

1. Security critical.

2. Single source of failure. ( If your auth fails, it doesn't just break one feature or aspect, it takes everything and everyone down with it. )

3. Performance critical. It's a bottleneck in most applications, it's very rare and even more difficult to get distributed auth working, if you factor in repudiation / token cancellation.

It's not an area you can "fake it 'til you make it" or "move fast and break things" with.

Even just "buying" the solution isn't easy. Actually implementing your own OIDC client/server solution is a large project that only makes sense to dedicate a team to in the largest of organisations.
The problem with just "living by the graph" is that it ignores whether the country has the capacity to provide basics like food, clothing, shelter, and employment to the population. You need to have both to have the working-age population be able to engage productively in the economy.

The problem Canada created is that it tried to reset it's population graph without ensuring that there was an adequate supply of said basics, and in many instances (housing, food prices) had policies that actively undermined what needed to a happen to support a rapidly expanding population. JT and the other liberal leadership read the Century Initiative and all they took away as "we need 100m people!" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_Initiative)

It's not that a country couldn't theoretically be successful resetting their population graph through immigration, but that they would also have to do things that would cause housing prices to fall or more competition (ie less corporate profits) in the other sectors to absorb the extra demand generated -- 2 things Canada has been absolutely unwilling to do in any meaningful until late last year.

For practical purposes I agree, but in principle, why not? Especially in places where land-based ISP choice is not abundant or have crap speeds.

For example, my only choice is Comcast's 1.2Gbps/25Mbps service. If I need faster upload I have to tether to my phone. And I rarely get anywhere near that full 1.2Gbps down.

And there are people in areas even less well served by traditional ISPs where their primary Internet connection is wireless.

So the squashing of a tomato or a human or a civilization -- they're just different rearrangements of matter and energy. Our feelings about each are also just chemical reactions. Any feeling or argument to the contrary has nothing to stand on. There's no such real thing as better or worse ultimately -- only better or worse within a context but not ultimately.

If you're on a hike and you see blueprints for a working automobile, you don't assume it assembled itself by mere chance. There's a language of a working design and you assume some minds created it.

But at the same time you interact with humans who have a working blueprint expressed in a 4-letter language and suddenly deny there is any mind behind any design?
Isn’t that moving the goalposts? The claim was made that it’s impossible to detect AI training runs and investigate what’s going on or take regulatory action. In fact, it is very possible.

These are hardly meaningful differences from EFF's perspective. They see their role as protecting American's data privacy from government overreach. Why should they restrict themselves only to abuses in data collection and ignore issues with data retention and dissemination? Just like in the NSA cases, EFF's argument is that DOGE is violating the law and, to use your phrase, abusing their capabilities. There's no reason for EFF to trust that DOGE is abiding by the law and not trust the NSA. If anything, the NSA acted far more professionally. To my knowledge, the NSA never hired a 19-year-old who goes by the moniker "Big Balls" and had previously been fired for unauthorized information disclosure. To my knowledge, they never hired a 25-year-old who proudly displayed racial animus.
That is a massive bet based on the supposed psychology of a world super power.

There are many other less-superficial reasons why Beijing may be interested in AI, plus China may not trust that we actually banned our own AI development.

I wouldn't take that bet in a million years.

Why only GB/GBA? Mister FPGA support lot's of cores which can use the same Screen and controls: NES, SNES, various Sega consoles, C64, MSX etc.

My cousin is a long-time union worker, but is a bit of a jerk. So I don't talk to him much. But I did show him this, and here's a thought from him: "Well employees should then never be forced to join a political organization like a company in order to get work. Places that provide jobs/have employees or contractors should also then not be political; they should be unable to spend corporate money on political organizations or issue political statements."

Not sure I agree, I'm anti-union myself; everyone should really be their own contractor. The economy would be better if everything was gig-worker based.
For starters, the Leaf wasn't a sedan, it was a hatchback. In the US market, hatchbacks have always significantly lagged sedans in sales despite being more practical. The regular Prius has evolved to look sleeker and sportier with each generation, but the boxy hatchback Prius V variant was quickly discontinued after introduction due to poor sales.

US consumer preference seems to weigh aesthetic appeal much more than other markets, even at the cost of function. Some other examples are the rugged boxy SUVs that have an aerodynamic/fuel economy penalty compared to their sleek blob counterparts, or the the coupe SUVs that sacrifice both rear headroom and storage capacity for a "sportier" look.
In most linux terminals, what you pass it is just a sequence of bytes that is passed unmangled. And since this technique is UTF-8 compliant and doesn't use any extra glyphs, it is invisible to humans in unicode compliant terminals. I tried it on a few.
It shows up if you echo the sentence to, say, xxd ofc.

(unlike the PUA suggestion in the currently top voted comment which shows up immediately ofc)

Additional test corrections:
While xxd shows the message passing through completely unmangled on pasting it into the terminal, when I selected from the terminal (echoed sentence, verified unmangled in xxd, then selected and pasted the result of echo), it was truncated to a few words using X select in mate terminal and konsole - I'm not sure where that truncation happens, whether it's the terminal or X.
In xterm, the final e was mangled, and the selection was even more truncated.

The sentence is written unmangled to files though, so I think it's more about copying out of the terminal dropping some data. Verified by echoing the sentence to a test file, opening it in a browser, and copying the text from there.
For whatever reason both macos and freebsd have this effect. So many useful, mystery binaries.

This is arguing for giving certain people more benefits versus others based on their race and gender.

This mindset is dangerous, especially if you codify it into an automated system like an AI and let it make decisions for you. It is literally the definition of institutional discrimination.

It is good that we are avoiding codifying racism into our AI under the fake moral guise of “equity”

Just a side note, I think mosh is a much better tool for stopping the disconnections from network changes or laptop sleeps. It uses UDP under the hood instead of TCP so it seamlessly supports roaming (changing of IP addresses). Also brings some great performance improvements as well, especially when the remote process is dumping lots of text to standard out
The high costs are because an area is desirable, not because it's dense. Density is how you do something to mitigate the high costs of a place like NYC. Imagine if you chopped off the upper half of all buildings there, what prices would do!

The problem with your analogy is that these babies are HUMANS and not some distinctly different cyber-species. The basis of "human alignment" is that we all require basically the same conditions and environment in order to live, we all feel pain and pleasure, we all need food - that's what produces any amount of human cooperation. What's being feverishly developed is the seed of a different species that doesn't share those restrictions.

We've already found ourselves on a trajectory where un-employing millions or billions of people without any system to protect them afterwards is just accepted, and that's simply the first step of many in the destruction-of-empathy path that creating AI/AGI brings people down.
