Terence Tao: Quantitative AI progress needs accurate and transparent evaluation

Link: mathstodon.xyz/@tao/1149100283
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Terence Tao (@tao@mathstodon.xyz)

As a technology matures, the focus tends to shift from qualitative achievements, such as who was the first individual or organization to achieve a certain goal, to more quantitative measurements, such as how much resources and expertise are needed to complete a single instance of a task, and how much environmental impact and risk of harm is generated. This is a necessary transition in order to scale up the technology from proofs of concept to mass adoption. For instance, in the early days of powered flight, the emphasis was on milestones such as the Wright brothers' first powered, controlled, heavier-than-air flight in 1903, or Lindbergh's first solo non-stop transatlantic flight in 1927. But it required the decades of boring but important and sustained development in jet aviation (as well as the attendant infrastructure and logistical support) from the 1950s to today to lower the cost of (say) transatlantic air travel while simultaneously improving safety standards to the point where it became both safe and affordable (albeit not particularly luxurious) on a regular basis for a middle-class individual in a developed country. In contrast, the Apollo programs famously led to the milestone of crewed missions to the Moon in 1969, but at prohibitive expense. Unlike the situation with aviation, there have not been significant advances in cost reduction; NASA's Artemis program, for instance, is estimated to require tens of billions of dollars to perform a single such mission (which, to be fair, involves heavier payloads and longer time periods than the Apollo missions). (Also, the future of this program may be in doubt due to significant budget cuts.) (1/3)

スパム報告&ブロック済みですけど、Mastodon サポートチームを自称するアカウントから「アカウントが停止されました、完全凍結をさけるためには緊急認証を完了させて云々」なリプがあり、リンク先に飛ぶとクレジットカード情報の入力を求められました。

⚠️ちなみに「そういうこともあるのかな?」とうっかりリンク先に飛んじゃって、そしたら堂々とカード情報を要求してくるページだったので「あ、やべっ」てなったよ!⚠️

Almost done polishing Loops, there is a lot of really innovative features that make onboarding and sharing easier.

Can't wait to get it in your hands ✨

(Btw, the reason we have silos in the share modals is because you can easily copy the link and share to your fediverse server.)

Health, Bummer

Dampening the mood a bit: A C19 positive significant other. I could do with a hug and a kiss. She too, obviously.

Also now, for being extra cautious, missing my brother's birthday party.

We did all we could to keep me safe, but driving her to the doctor is risky business no matter how much you mask up and how much disinfectant you drink^Wuse...

Upside: Lots of time to play around with the new over the weekend. (Currently waiting for memory and storage to arrive)

Entering my "nullroute youtube.com" arc again (last one was when I was in NY and ended up doing 1 blog post every week...), It's such a subtle time parasite that I can easily piss away a entire half day to

今夕、西の空に出た乳房雲と思われる雲(長野市)。初めて見ました!雲底に丸いこぶ状のものがいくつも垂れ下がっているように見える雲です。雲の中の強い下降気流と、雲の下の暖かい上昇気流がぶつかり合うことで発生する乱流によってこのような形になるのだそうです。

乳房雲。雲底から乳房のように垂れ下がった形状が特徴的な雲。
