Sorry, was there a fact about the spend that you wanted to mention? I didn't see it in your post.

Maybe the newspaper of record also got distracted on the way to saying it because they treat the effect of elections as irrelevant and report on it like they're talking about drafting players for the NBA.

You’re using the robot to help you anyways with this project. It’s seen a lot of configuration examples and could make it easy to test changing over.

In my experience, cyclists travel from 15-25 in the city. Very rare to find someone going 60. Even motorcycles don’t usually go that fast. There’s a lot of people on the streets of Amsterdam.

The biggest danger here is not terribly clear. Somewhere in the intersection of people cluelessly walking into the bike lane and bicyclists hitting the clueless.

Given that "engineer" in those days practically always meant a white man, especially to the class that the advertisement was meant to reach, the heads are at least somewhat varied in age and hairstyle. The hands are probably the hardest thing to draw, so they were likely copied from a reference photo or sketch a bunch of times which does make them very similar.

Burning waste is listed in the article as an even better for the environment, but somewhat more expensive method.

The methane that landfills produce is routinely captured and burned for power, they may otherwise flare it off before it can contribute to the greenhouse effect. This is also mentioned in the article.

Did they forget to turn you off after the trial?

I haven't heard about Heard Bots myself, only the Depp Fakes. It's not an unreasonable question to ask for external corroboration when someone claims that something happened and their source is that they saw it.

Sadly, I am not invested enough to do research on this matter and uninterested in having an LLM convincingly tell me whatever it reads on the internet is the truth about this.

I know, it’s still funny to me after all the years here. It works for some and doesn’t for others and it always looks insane from the outside before it works.

Oh, so they’re a machine for setting money on fire and they shouldn’t care about changing that for a few more years and a few more raises. Got it.

The article is written by a robot. Ask another one to summarize or to change the style from the current meandering stew of LLMisms to something more concise.

I’m not sure the author has any options worth paying attention to since they didn’t care enough to write them down. Plus, I don’t particularly trust this article, since I have no domain expertise in this area and my bs detector doesn’t work in this circumstance.

Seems like a regression if the model is having difficulty communicating clearly.

Oh, did this happen to you personally? If so, you have my sympathies.

If it's just a hypothetical, consider this:

The money doubles and everyone laughs about it in the end.

A lawyer? That’s pretty obvious.

It’s what you do when anyone is in breach of contract or some other civil matter. You just sue them.

If it’s a criminal fraud, there’s other people who will help, we call those the authorities.

To be fair, they did stop to think if they should. The decided that they shouldn't and went ahead and did it anyways.

Fortunately, having a discussion does not appear to be the goal of this blog post. The author is relating a story including their feelings on the matter. It’s not really about us, unless you’re working for a pump company or could possibly address the structural issues that have led to this situation.

Honestly, I found it illuminating. I don’t depend on a machine to keep me alive directly, but it made me think about how much I would resent dangling at the end of a line held by a company that would cut me off if investors thought it would make them slightly richer. One that cuts every corner they can, and doesn’t actually care about you. I imagine that resentment over years, a quarter century of things getting worse on the “caring whether you live or die” front, might lead to the feelings the author expressed.

It’s pretty clear that discussion is not desired, unless you have the cure for type 1 diabetes in hand before you send the first reply.

Yeah, but it's a cool looking cloud. I think the cloud in the video was pretty neat.

If it helps, I don't think that there is anything to be ashamed of to want to try new things even if you recognize it is inadvisable. If there were no physical consequences, I'd like to try all sorts of medicines to see what effect they would have on me.

As a user of Mounjaro, obtained from a doctor, I find the experience very interesting. It has all sorts of weird side effects that I don't expect. As a bioinformatician in training it's great fun to speculate about the causes, pathways, signals, and whatnot that might be involved as this drug perturbs so much stuff in my system.

It's not pleasurable per se, but it is interesting. I have changed my food habits significantly without actually trying. I think I was too impatient to eat to cook if that makes sense. Weirdly, foods taste better to me which I did not expect. I also have found myself really enjoying my hobbies more. This has resulted in a lot of 3d printer filament purchases, so my impulse control may not have been helped much.

As far as experimenting on yourself, it will likely require the cumulative effect of weeks or months to notice changes in non-food habits if such changes occur at all.

There's probably some online doctor that will prescribe this thing to you for several hundred dollars/euros or whatever. You may suffer greatly for your curiosity, though. There are instances of very unpleasant side effects, some of which I experience personally.

You aren’t cloudflare’s customer in these examples. It depends on the companies that are actually paying for and using the service to complain. Odds are that they won’t care on your behalf due to how our society is structured.

Not really sure how our community is supposed to deal with this.

There are various links in the article that have more information. Clicking these references will give the evidence for bad unit economics claims and whatnot.

As for predicting the moment, the author has made a prediction and wants it to be wrong. They expect the system will continue to grow larger for some time before collapse. They would prefer that this timeline be abbreviated to reduce the negative economic impacts. He is advising others on how to take economic advantage of his prediction and is likely shorting the market in his own way. It may not be options trading, but making plans for the bust is functionally similar.

You are correct. This strategy is not for making you happy with your procrastination. The main goal is to make you an effective human being. As a result, this excludes personal emotional effects from the definition of harm.

Furthermore, what an effective human is also something that you have to define for yourself.

Procrastination is considered a negative trait for a reason.

Task selection is the tricky bit. It has to actually be important in some dimension. The easiest is something with an amount of social pressure. If someone is waiting for you to do something that you have promised, then it acquires a kind of urgency and importance even if it wouldn’t harm you not to do it in a timely manner.

It’s not fake importance, it’s just taking advantage of the fact that you want to be seen as dependable and effective to other people.

“Do this or else we’ll make our products less attractive by not making an effort to comply with your law” does not seem like a really compelling “or else”.

iPhone mirroring was cute when I first tried it, but now when I click on a notification on my laptop and it tries to open the mirroring application I am annoyed. It’s the tiniest version of my phone and takes a while to come up, if it doesn’t fail for some reason. I should turn it off.

The other features they mention aren’t very compelling. I’m in the Netherlands now with a US Apple account so I can use them, but don’t care to.

The structure of giant corporations today is like those centralized societies that were so inefficient in your example. The mandates to put AI in everything are one example of out of touch leadership throwing money and effort blindly towards things of dubious value. The sycophantic managers, afraid that they will be eliminated for insufficient fervor for the board’s latest fascination, will seize upon anything to prove themselves loyal and useful to those above them.

By moving the locus of control, whether it be considered the ceo or shareholders, so far from the actual business and implementing mandates based on whatever the current fancy is and meaningless targets of growth on such a giant scale you get the same sort of excesses.

The current system is marked by irrationality and uninformed and ill considered decision making. With smaller organizations and actual business competition they would be held to account by their competitors or just by running out of money before something catastrophic for the greater economy happened.

Don’t they call all their LLM models Gemini? The paper indicates that they specifically used all the AI models to come up with this figure when they describe the methodology. It looks like they even include classification and search models in this estimate.

I’m inclined to believe that they are issuing a misleading figure here, myself.

I find myself yelling at AWS pretty often, does that make me old?

This statement is not excusing the advertising practices, just that advertising their product has likely had a positive effect on the returns from the film.

They are calling out the tactics as “in-your-face”. This is hardly an endorsement.

The importance of the system in question is not a factor in whether something is a security bug for a dependency. The threat model of the important system should preclude it from using dependencies that are not developed with a similar security paradigm. Libxml2 simplly operates under a different regime than, as an arbitrary example, the nuclear infrastructure of a country.

The library isn't a worm, it does not find its way into anything. If the bank cares about security they will write their own, use a library that has been audited for such issues, sponsor the development, or use the software provided as is.

You may rejoin with the fact that it could find its way into a project as a dependency of something else. The same arguments apply at any level.

If those systems crash because they balanced their entire business on code written by randos who contribute to an open source project then the organizations in question will have to deal with the consequences. If they want better, they can do what everyone is entitled to: they can contribute to, make, or pay for something better.

They pay their lawyers and whoever made this page a lot for the express purpose of credibly arguing that it is very clearly totally legal and very cool to use of any IP they want to train their models.

Could you with a straight face argue that the NYT newspaper could be a surrogate girlfriend for you like a GPT can be? They maintain that it is obviously a transformative use and therefore not an infringement of copyright. You and I may disagree with this assertion, but you can see how they could see this as baseless, ridiculous, and frivolous when their livelihoods depend on that being the case.

The context of the scenario, the meme if you will, is that there is no fire. You're just shouting it for the fun of it, to see the crush of panicked bodies running just because you willed it. That is why it was used as an example of speech that is harmful.

As you get older, or if you get injured or disfigured, what happens? Does your "face card" get declined?

It's probably been done.

Interestingly, the procedure involves bringing a device capable of colliding larger lead particles at lower velocities in the vicinity of someone with BTC. The actual collision is superfluous, and can sometimes be counterproductive.
