I don't get it, someone's clearly willing to break the law if they are drunk driving, unless you're banning steering wheels I'm not sure how that's going to help.

Yeah, because need to be able to use your vehicle to escape pursuers and also as a ramming weapon. I assume police would get an exception from this rule, but they don't actually have more of a legal right to use their vehicle as a weap

I actually think he means everything is fixed except the key, salt, nonce, etc. Not just shared as in publicly known, shared as in the same value is used by everyone.

Does he think instrumental convergence is wrong? If it's wrong, why does he have power and money?

Reasonably well written on combinatorics, but it's funny to see Chomsky and structural linguistics in there, when he's still around. We're still not quite at self modifying language machines though, due to the enormous comput

Depends on what CPU you are running, on Zen 4 it's not supported to disable the mitigations and caused bugs/crashes. I think they did fix that exact crash but I'd still not recommend it. New CPUs from both AMD and Intel are d

DJB (the mathematician in the title) is the guy who rolled the crypto in the first place, at least where Ed25519 and ChaCha20 are concerted.

I doubt these chickens would be used in large scale farming due to various concerns, but as a last line defense of the US flu vaccine manufacturing capability it might be worth it. Each standard flu vaccine dose takes about one fertilized e

I think steelmanning is good, depending on how much time you have for the debate. Obviously if you're going to be working on something for days with this person they should understand your position in detail and vice versa, but if you

Finding it actually increases the confidence is the curves, it's a parameter that's known and fixed anyway so it's not secret or anything.

Not sending an explicit signal prevents certain injection attacks, but I'm not sure how much that would matter in practice. They would have to be some sort of off-path attack so the attacker can't just end the connection by blocki

Works the same way it works with UDP (because it is UDP), with a timeout.

Maybe loss of money is very closely linearly related to humiliation for SBF, but it is not for most people. That's the least confusing part of the story to me.

How SBF is described as acting in this case as absolutely not rational if he was actually trying to maximize his expected number of dollars, there's going to be an optimal set of trades you can make with the finite number of dollars yo

Under what reading of the First Amendment is that allowed? Some historical argument based on the Alien and Sedition act, because criticizing self driving cars is a threat to national security?

I'm not sure they'd actually call it murder in that case. They might accept some probability of murdering someone to preserve a strong negotiating position and mitigate inaction related failures, but most of the time the actual in

What exactly is an "eternal golden braid" as a concept? The only place I've seen it is as the subtitle for the book Gödel, Escher, Bach.

If it's not the best option, what is? It's the only method where I think you would be able to detect failures before the AI system is running. RLHF and "Constitutional AI" absolutely can't do that with current neu

Yeah, I don't know. Gwern thinks it would work if done near perfectly, but in practice what gets done is freezing dead bodies in an already pretty much unrecoverable state (if not already dead and warm for hours if not days), with no p

It's the best option, even assuming no one raced and you got full funding and enthusiasm, it would be plausible to put success at 40%. That's after a generation of work and trillions of (2022, probably) dollars, but it's sure

It's probably the best approach known so far, but for all their talk of "long termism", I predict many people will dislike the fact that they'll almost certainly be dead (and in an unrecoverable state, before anyone gets
