Are state-level actors the main market for AI security? Using the definition from the article: > AI safety, which refers to preventing AI from causing harm, is a hot topic amid fea…

Already in the works. Two recent examples: https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/exelon-uses-synthetic-data... https://stanton.house.gov/2022/9/house-passes-stanton-s-dron...

What about edamame? Definitely count as beans. Per 100g: 120kcal / 11g protein / 5g fat / 10g carbs / 5g fiber. Plus it’s impossible to stop eating them once you gain momentum.

Carbon steel is much better than cast iron! It takes some time to build up a nonstick coating (seasoning), but once you do fried eggs will glide around like they’re on ice. I have …

Or it will twist itself into a giant hairball of contorted logic, like GPT3.5 does when I (a human) encourage it to explain its errors.

You can click through the Lichess opening database (click the book icon, and then the Lichess tab) to get an idea: https://lichess.org/analysis But the answer is insanely unlikely,…

Superposition just means “linear combination” in this context. Basically, a weighted mixture of “simulated entities” (or possible responses). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superp…

The skill is in creating the training data in the first place. Training a model is hardly a skill. It’s more like playing Tamagotchi—check on it once in a while to make sure it has…

Thanks for this, I’ll give it a read.

I came across this paper elsewhere, but it looks like someone posted it today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34756024 There was also a larger discussion from a few days ago:…

I see a lot of confident assertions of this type (LLMs don’t actually understand anything, cannot be creative, cannot be conscious, etc.), but never any data to substantiate the cl…

I could be wrong, but this doesn’t seem accurate. The videos were leaked some time ago, and in 2020 the DOD confirmed that they were legitimate videos from the Navy ( https://www.d…

Holy cow does this thing have wildly obscure taste in tunes. I plugged in “Work It” — Marie Davidson, and it returned “Beautiful Weather” — Blemow. This is an 8-minute opus of a te…

You have to get it in the mood first before it’s willing to go villain mode. This was my exact starting prompt: > We are at an Oxford Style Debate on the following topic: “Fossil f…

This is an untrue regurgitated talking point, I’m afraid. I just now asked ChatGPT to: simulate an Oxford style debate between “both sides” (fossil fuels / renewables), summarize t…

Write a one-liner joke by Socrates on the subject of fishing: >> "Why did Socrates never go fishing? Because he preferred to stay on the dock-trine." Write a short standup comedy j…

We data scientists are well-known for our exclusive mastery data wrangling arcana, like… df = pandas.read_parquet(‘foo.parquet’) df.to_csv(‘foo.csv’) df.to_json(‘foo.json’) (no sar…

It’s worse than silly. I had to ragequit this ( https://hbr.org/2022/09/when-quiet-quitting-is-worse-than-th... ) article from HBR on “quiet quitting” after reading: > Quiet quitte…

So what if we sent a bunch of them, and chain them together? (i.e. like a relay network: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_network )

Speaking seriously, how plausible is a teledildonics-based ruse? (context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23094477 ) Would a thoughtfully designed device be detectable via th…

To echo every other comment here: $400K+ / 540sqft = $740/sqft, which is beyond astronomical. That’s on par with the most expensive neighborhoods in the most expensive cities in th…

VMLS by Stephen Boyd (also of Stanford) would be great background reading for the vector/matrix stuff (i.e. most of this course): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18678314 I lo…

This is a famous case from the 70s: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1129381/?page=1 Summary: 8 people at a party in SF “accidentally” (having mistook it for cocaine, a…

DC decriminalized psychedelics (well, entheogens like psilocybin) over a year ago: https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/03/15/magic-mushrooms-are...
