This is the result of a poor org structure and poor leadership, not something particular to SRE.

Yes, but: 1) Historically they have. 2) Most people in the US that haven't purchased very recently are locked in at very low rates. Only 9% of mortgages are over 6%. 61% of outstanding mortages are <4% [0]. 3) There are a lot of i

This isn't really a thing in the US right now. Less than 10% of mortgages are adjustable. The share of ARMs in 08 was much, much higher.

I'm unfamiliar with BEAM. How does this compared to goroutines? Obviously they won't migrate between machines, but concurrency feels very easy and ergonomic in Go.

Yes. The most aggressive consent requirement for recording is 'two-party' consent, where the both people on the call need to be aware it's being recorded. If you say "this is/may be(ing) recorded" then both p

I run 70B very cheaply using serverless GPUs. I've had the best experience with Runpod, but there are a few other options out there for it as well.

> What scares me is that there are moral fashions too. They're just as arbitrary, and just as invisible to most people. But they're much more dangerous. Fashion is mistaken for good design; moral fashion is mistaken for good. D

It's not a sound use case. LLMs have no concept of taste or conception of cooking. Just because they can string the words together into something that looks like recipe, doesn't mean it's actually something more useful than

> Indirectly, it kickstarted global CBDCs research, blockchain-integration research across major financial institutions, tokenisation efforts, etc. These are also all negatives. Profound wastes of time.

It's not a 'vulnerability'. It's allowing people to use the models without the morals of a small number of SV engineers being impressed on you.

There’s a spectrum of possibilities. What if GPT-10 obviates 80% of jobs and can’t automatically identify every human uniquely? This covers that step in the process.

It's not post-scarcity, it's post-labor. Which is a prerequisite for post-scarcity, but not sufficient. Resources, even allocated optimally by a superintelligence, are still constrained based on the number of people living and t

Any sufficiently AI would be under the control of some trustworthy entity. Preferably one. It's too dangerous otherwise. (I don't agree with this, but it's a common perspective amongst this crowd).

> The need for UBI would only make sense if only certain classes of individuals can utilize AGI and others need to purchase their produce. This is part of that mindset. The idea of AGI being freely available is horrifying to x-riskers.

This is a 'reasonable response' to the current AI wave by people that subscribe to the Effective Altruism/LessWrong/AI-Doomer mythos. If AGI is created and then removes the need for any human to work, UBI (or the like) w

The llama 2 chat models are completely neutered. They are practically unusable. I'm convinced it was joke from the Meta engineers.

The NYT Rent v Buy calculator is pretty out of date at this point, but it's definitely not as straightforward as rent being throwing away money and a mortgage building equity. Upkeep is a non-trivial expense, opportunity costs of mone

Sure, first name in the article I posted, Joep Meindertsma. They have an open discord you can join, but fair warning that it's entirely panicky people lamenting their inevitable doom.

The intuition about how the gzip method works goes like so: If you compress `ABC`, it will be X bytes. If you then compress `ABCABC`, it will not take 2x bytes. The more similar the two strings that you concatenate, the less bytes it wi

Could be apocryphal, but I swear I read something from the writers on the show saying that they would take turns coming up with the most ridiculous computer interaction they could think of.
