To my knowledge emulation is illegal in Japan, as is modding consoles.

Edit: I looked into it a bit more. As it is against the law to dump ROMs from games you have legally purchased, as well as acquiring them through other channels, there is no way to emulate games in Japan in a legal manner.

What about games that come on cd or dvd media? Some emulators can run directly from the disk without creating a rom.

Why is that wrong? If like Altman you think that energy is the bottleneck to intelligence, and social and economic power grows with intelligence, then predicting that intelligence will optimize for energy collection seems reasonable. It isn't evil to predict that. And if he is insane to predict it, then I must be insane for not dismissing it.

Cassandra wasn't evil or crazy, she just had bad news.

Because we are talking about likely outcomes, not optimizing for one tho to the exclusion of all else. Even if AGI is right around the corner (which is a pretty low percentage bet these days) cost alone would prevent such an outcome from being likely. Altman knows this, but being reasonable rarely sells.

I think you use the term "plain text" differently from the author of the post. I think they refer to the fact that there is no end to end encryption. Google has access to the clear text of all messages and can index/analyze them.

MobiusHorizons · 2 days ago

The article does call out plain text email without formatting or attachments. Plain text typically refers to visual formatting, while clear text refers to lack of encryption.

Texas Instruments and Microchip: Am I a joke to you?

As far as I know none of them manufacture anything resembling a replacement for a Xeon, which is relevant to national security because those are uses in military applications.

The whole thing really felt like a post facto justification rather than a design flowing from requirements/constraints.

I get that it is valuable to be able to have the spacecraft take certain actions without reliable communications, but that isn’t unique to this spacecraft in any way, nor does it require using a scripting language. It seems like they just wanted an easier development environment, which is fine as long as it doesn’t compromise mission reliability.

I’m also concerned they suggest ascii encoding of the code instead of binary means the uploaded code doesn’t require verification. All data can be corrupted in transit, and I would be very surprised if they don’t still use error correction.

What was the answer? Asking for a vp friend

MobiusHorizons · 5 days ago

In the all hands I got an answer about techniques that would be used to reduce the likelihood of mistakes. Ie not an answer.

Meaty feet can be held to a fire. To quote IBM, "A computer can never be held accountable."

This is the question I keep asking leaders (I literally asked a VP this question once in an all hands). How do we approach the risk associated mistakes made by AI?(process, legal, security, insurance etc) We have process and legal agreements in place to deal with humans that work for a business making mistakes. We need analogs for AI if we want to use it in similar ways.

ARM adds... Since I saw the first arm based soc (rockchip rk3566) every so came with npu accelerator. Usually pretty small ones. 0.5 Tops (int8) etc.

The novel thing seems to be that they will make it a part of the GPU? Really? Even my Samsung Galaxy S7 (quite few years old by now) supported Vulcan and run neural nets pretty well with Vulcan etc.

Where is the novelty?

MobiusHorizons · 9 days ago

Low power.

An "NPU" is a matrix multiplier accelerator. It removes some general-purpose stuff that GPUs provide in favor of more "AI"-useful units, like support for values a byte or smaller (i.e., FP4, INT4, etc.).

MobiusHorizons · 9 days ago

I think NPUs are often aimed at efficient matmul performance. Not all implementations are significantly faster than vector units in the CPU, but they use much lower power. Gpu acceleration is typically much faster than the CPU, but also higher power.

I was thinking a snarky thought reading another comment in the chain: "DJI and Anker aren't Chinese brands, because they're good and they have brand reputation".

"Chinese" in my ape brain is Harbor Freight junk, or cheap houseware from Amazon with names like "KRLFOCGY".

MobiusHorizons · 10 days ago

Honestly, even harbor freight has some pretty good tools these days. They do have disposable level crap, but even one level above that is quite serviceable.
