There's a difference between, on the one hand, knowing who they are and having read a few chapters of HPMoR, which I agree is standard for anyone who spends enough time on the Internet, vs. on the other hand actually…
What other solution do you suggest to the coordination problem?
Not OP, but I think they're way more essential with AI doing a lot of the coding. The biggest thing that AI, even the frontier models, is not great at is staying on topic and actually finishing a project with reasonable…
There is a specific, unilateral action that he is taking described in the article. And the "why are they developing AI if they think it's so dangerous" argument is neither new nor persuasive. They're developing it…
Yes, that is exactly Dario's concern. Either one of the US labs or one of the Chinese ones will eventually release something with insufficient safety controls for its power level because it gives them slightly better…
Sure, I acknowledge that it was incredibly rare and lucky for "the thing I enjoy doing" and "the thing that pays" to have been the same for so long. That doesn't mean it's not painful for that to change out from under…
What supply chain controls can you have on biotech? Part of the problem is that you can do a lot of damage with ingredients you can buy over the counter or make at home.
Cynicism is fine. They don't have to believe in any sort of ideal to do this. They just have to be thinking more than a couple months ahead to realize the math favors quality.
I don't understand what point you're making. Your "point 1" is literally the argument of the paper. If that scenario arises, the market collapses and no further sales can be made. That's the whole problem. As someone…
Google is also competent enough to know that taking spam & fraud seriously is incentive-aligned in the medium term. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons.
Google's AdSpam/fraud/bot-prevention team was, when I worked there, world class and fairly well funded, took their job seriously, and had access to all the data. It's an existential threat to the ad business, because if…
> the point isn't that "Leave to renew" is some kind of horrible policy I mean... "leave to renew" is a horrible policy, it's just one that we've normalized since 9/11. It's incredibly wasteful and disruptive, and…
They say it out loud. The people writing these policies are vocally proud of being white nationalists. Defending them with "well maybe they have a good reason!" is evidence that you're either on board with their actual…

Is your argument that anyone saying "there should be laws about this" should spell out "and we mean actual laws, not arbitrary misapplication of existing law by one petulant executive"? I don't know how they could have…
Accepting your dichotomy for the sake of argument, I'm in camp 1, but camp 2 could still be humane and comprehensible. Many countries have strict immigration rules, and while I disagree with that philosophy, it's not…
Oh... that's embarrassing. Honest mistake, I swear.
In FY25, according to their budget [1], TriMet - the Portland public transit authority - spent $19M on bus services. In that same budget, PDOT spent $56M on streets, signs and streetlights, before you even consider the…
If you only wanted to run buses, you would not build nearly as many roads as we do.
Right, but the impressive part is finding addresses that are actually on different memory channels.

Do you take down all of your projects and then bring them back up at the new version? If not, then you have times at which the change is only partially complete.
Really only prefixes, without a significant loss in accuracy. The point is that because later tokens can't influence earlier ones, the post-attention embeddings for those first tokens can't change. But the…
Internal and external have wildly different requirements. Google internally can't update a library unless the update is either backward-compatible for all current users or part of the same change that updates all those…
