This paper is the product of a failed model of AI safety, in which dedicated safety advocates act as a public ombudsman with an adversarial relationship with their employer. It's baffling to me why anyone thought that would be sustainable.

Compare this to something like RLHF[0] which has acheived far more for aligning models toward being polite and non-evil. (This is the technique that helps ChatGPT decline to answer questions like "how to make a bomb?")

There's still a lot of work to be done and the real progress will be made by researchers who implement systems in collaboration with their colleagues and employers.

Your question statement is simply not true. Developers are interested in secure coding.

The problem is that you spend your days in a niche, a relatively well defined and limited scope, i.e. "compliance".

Developers on the other hand are working in a much broader context, i.e, working through the requirements, architecture and design, project management (who's doing what and when), the actual implementation, finding and fixing issues, etc, etc. And of course, compliance.

I totally agree, and I am pretty sure that any developer will agree that compliance and security should not be an afterthought but it just happens to be that in your world compliance is the most important thing. So, why is not not for everyone else in the world?

Maybe you should actually be working on projects with developers so that you can lead and help the team in this space? In any team you see that various individuals have slightly different specializations, yours could be compliance and security. This would help a team.

Ah, I clicked on this article hoping for information but it felt more like an ad for the Netflix series and at times goes in detail to describe fan fiction from historians only to go on record to state there is no evidence behind said claims. At that point why even bother to include it in the article as many reader might not even notice this. This article feels more low effort than most articles from the Smithsonian and I hope it's not a sign of lower quality works to come.
I wasn't comparing autopilot in an aircraft to autopilot in a car. I was comparing remote piloting of an aircraft to remote operation of a vehicle.
I think you may be right!

Also, I think that some of the next breakthroughs for AI might be as follows:

1) Given any Turing-complete computer programming language A, construct a translator to a higher-order intermediate representation, then from that higher-order intermediate representation, construct a translator to programming language B...

2) Do this for all known Turing-complete computer programming languages;

3) Do this for all known Mathematical categories, groups, lemmas, theories, etc., and other Mathematical "objects" (for lack of a better term!) -- in other words, create an intermediate data model "map" (analagous to an intermediate higher-order language used by a transpiler) -- between all of these things in all of Mathematics...

Category Theory -- seems like it would be "The next level up"...

(Note that I am speculating about most of this(!) -- I claim to be an idiot in [some/many/all] of these areas! <g>)
I meant: you'd be happy to hand your stakeholder a document about the code you would have written if you'd had time to?
This is ok. 90% of research is creative thinking, dialogue. One idea creates the next, some are a foil, some are dead ends. As long as there are not outrageous claims being made for 'hard evidence' where there is none, it's fine. Maybe the format isn't fully appropriate but the content is. Most good things come about in a non-linear process which involves provocation along the line somewhere.
I sometimes ask candidates to talk about these exact things during interviews. Describe what happens when you type a command into a shell. Then how about if it's in an ssh session. It's a good way to dive into all kinds of stuff from syscalls to networking. I look for an overall understanding and curiosity about how stuff works.

These are SRE type positions where strong systems knowledge and debugging skills are a requirement or at least a big plus.

This comment is extremely funny.

I heard a rumour that the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition might be aimed at scientists working on clinical nutrition, who could make meaningful use of this result - and not the readers of Hacker News.

> Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint. They are also self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how.

> During the Sprint: No changes are made that would endanger the Sprint Goal;

> The Daily Scrum is a 15-minute event

A short version is that you have a small team of intelligent people who are given sufficient autonomy. They split time into intervals called "sprints", each sprint is 2-4 weeks long. (If you have no experience with Scrum, start with 2 weeks. When you get used to it, the team can decide the correct length.)

At the beginning of the sprint, the developers and the representative of the customer agree what gets done. During the sprint, the developers do it. Every day there is a short meeting in the morning, when developers say "I completed this; I am going to work on this; I am blocked by this", nothing more.

At the end of the sprint, developers show the implemented changes to the representative of the customer. Then the developers talk among themselves about what was good during this sprint, what was bad, and what they want to do differently the next time.

The important thing (ignored at almost all companies pretending to do Scrum) is that in this ideal world, managers do not exist. Developers manage themselves. In the daily meetings, developers report their progress to each other. What needs to be done, is decided by the representative of the customer (literally a person from a different company, or from a different department if this is an internal project). How it gets done, that is decided by the developers. When developers talk about what was good and bad, and what needs to be done differently, they actually have the power to do it differently the next time. Developers assign the work between themselves, and make estimates how long something would take.

Shortly: the developers are treated as adults, and their responsibility to the customer is defined on a biweekly or monthly basis.
There are beginner-friendly engines like Love2D. Getting started with something like that should be straightforward provided one has basic programming notions. Otherwise, learning C (or C++) and exploring the internals for yourself will teach you a lot more about programming and data structures than using whatever web technology webdevs are using to inflict pain upon themselves these days.

You are not taking into account that big corps prefer to buy because it is also a way of doing risk management. You can make legally binding agreements with penalty clauses with suppliers. You can't do that with your own employees, which means you have to know how to hire great people and have the opportunity to pay them well, which is non-trivial.
Ask HN: Reconstituting scans from video of bendy pages?
I'm wondering of there's a way to get perfect images from a video of paging through a book. It seems like it'd be possible, but most stuff is about simple deskew and not about stitching multiple images together to be more accurate.

Is there anything I should be searching for to find solutions to stuff like this?

If your VPN app supports on-device SOCKS5 proxy, then that's one way to chain Rethink (check Settings) to it. Rethink, for example, can chain up to Orbot (Tor as a proxy over on-device SOCKS5) just fine.

If not, wait until we release WireGuard integration. It has been complete for a good part of 5 months now, but we never built a UI for it and now in the meantime upstream impl we rely on (both gVisor/netstack and WireGuard) has changed, and we need to pick those changes up. Expect it to happen in a month or two, along with the UI bits.

they're saying that "slime mold" culture, where independence and initiative are rewarded, it's possible for one employee to write a document like this. The employee can examine and criticize the culture because they have a high degree of independence. The "slime mold" culture is capable of being more introspective than a more "top down" culture can be.

I think they're also saying that the document is written from the POV of a single employee, and isn't the result of a full study/survey of the whole company

First of all, those are only two works in a very large body of works of an artist that seems to work almost entirely from imagination, which already counters the claim that this is a very common way of working, since even this artist would almost never work like that. Secondly, putting strangely much effort into a comment on Hacker News, I actually looked up the source frame of one of these: https://youtu.be/K6hOvyz65jM?t=236
It's definitely based on the frame but it's not a paint-over as you claim. I know this because there are too many mistakes with regards to proportion:

- Extending the slant roof in the background, it intersects with the left figure at around the height of the nose, but in the painting it intersects with the middle of her neck.

- Similarly the line of the fence on the left is at the height of her hairline, but in the painting it is at the height of the middle of the head, and also more slanted than in the frame.

- On the right side, the white part of the pillar is similarly too low compared to the figure.

- The pole in the background has a lot of things off with regards to size, thickness, or location too.

Essentially, everything is a bit off with regards to location, size and distance. It doesn't really make sense to paint over something and then still do everything differently from the base layer, so it was probably just drawn from reference the normal way -- probably having the picture on another screen and drawing it again from scratch, rather than directly painting over the frame.

I agree with regards to Warhol but that doesn't really establish it as very common amongst painters.
I am of the general understanding that this paper became less about the LLMs & more of a insinuating hit piece against Alphabet. At least, some of the controversial nuggets got Gebru (and later M Mitchell) fired.

From a technical standpoint, there is little new stuff that I found this paper offered in understanding why LLMs can have unpredictable nature, or what degree of data will get exposed by clever hacks (or if there are systematic ways to go about it). It sounded more like a collection of verifiable anecdotes for easy consumption (which can be a good thing by itself if you want capsule understanding in a non-technical way)
The variability of France’s nuclear fleet is harder on the generator (valves and structures susceptible to thermal stresses in particular), and a possible contributor to their inability to keep their fleet in good repair.

Arguably, if cost effective, nuclear is best run at full output as consistently as possible, with other systems buffering that supply with demand (hydro storage, batteries, demand response, etc).

Does the desired behavior continue after the initial 28 day period?
One problem I encountered when I tried to change my behavior using similar methods is that I don't know how strict I should be with myself. For example if I don't want to quit playing games entirely, and I'd like to enjoy the occasional game, I might set some soft limits, but that opens the door for a relapse in the future.

Or do you find that even temporary abstinence is worthwhile, even if the bad behavior comes back after some time?
CSS: CSS sucks. Try using Tailwind on a project and think of it as higher level language that compiles down to CSS, just like programming languages compile down to C or machine code. Ironically, plain CSS began to make more sense for me after I started using Tailwind.

React: This might help useState and useEffect click. Think of a man who weighs himself each week and records the change. The first week he weighs 70kg. The next week he weighs 75kg. The third week he weighs 80kg. This is his 'state' and each time he records his weight he uses setState to do it.

Now every time he weighs himself he needs to decide what to do about it. Once he hits 80kg he thinks enough is enough and decides it's time to lose weight. This is a side effect of him gaining weight. In react terms this is useEffect. useEffect runs every time he records his weight.

If you had to change a bunch of files when you changed useEffect, it's because the effects of those effects meant your program had to change for it to run successfully. For example, if this guy wanted to lose weight, he might need to increase the amount of exercise he did, or eat healthier, and so you have to find the parts of the programs that control that and have them respond accordingly.

It doesn't matter if you've been coding 2 months or 20 years, you're still going to be looking up things in documentation every day because you can't remember the exact syntax or whether a function works in place or returns a new array.

One more thing: have a go at building a blog using Astro. You can use multiple different JS frameworks in the same site, so you could write the same component in React, Vue, Svelte, Solid etc and see how each framework essentially lets you do the same thing but a bit differently. Seeing the same thing from all these different angles may help make the underlying concept click a bit better.
10 lines can be big or small at the size of Google. They have ~23 years of legacy, tens of billions in revenue, and a product that requires a massive technical infrastructure to operate. Over time that type of money makes a company risk averse as they can afford to be risk averse. Or to simply dump people time onto trivial activities to ensure that things go well.

Ideally they could invest in methods of blast radius protection to speed up the iteration cycle. As I recall, they still allowed teams to get a tiny slice of search traffic diverted to a custom experiment on a custom service without too much overhead.

Interesting point. That's definitely visible in the overall art style.

But at least regarding the edges and corners of an isometric rectangular cuboid tile, I'm not convinced that there's a meaningful difference between pixel-by-pixel drawing vs non-anti-aliased rendering--the rendering turns out so precisely regular that it might as well have been drawn manually.
I'm saying my problem with Zeno's argument in setting up the paradox is assuming that spacetime is infinitely divisible.

That doesn't mean that's the "reason we can move", it means that's why the argument is flawed.

Now Euclidean space with Newtonian motion is a mathematical construction. It has infinitely divisible space and time. That allows for the resolution of Zeno's paradox. It was constructed to describe motion so this is not a surprise and not really interesting.

The difference is that spacetime, aka reality[1], does not allow for space to be infinitely divided. So you can't apply Zeno's argument (which was his point).

In summary, Zeno's paradox is resolved by infinitely divisible time in Newtonian mechanics. You can't apply Zeno's argument to spacetime, because his assumptions are not satisfied.

(Hopefully no autocorrect issues, moved to my phone.)

It's arguments like this one in Nature that destroy confidence in public health. You claimed the article reflected a consensus, but it starts by saying that lots of papers show no lockdown effect and there's no agreement!

Also read the citations. They make a lot of uncited assertions (worthless), and then their primary evidence is Flaxman et al, it's a joke paper. Read it, they made a model that predicted 3 million deaths and when it didn't happen said lockdowns were the reason. Their methodology is wack. They had to hide Sweden from some of their graphs because it broke their model, they had to claim that shutting major sport/music events was magically effective in Sweden but nowhere else because their model just assigned all the reduction to whatever the last government decision happened to be. Google for it to find more criticism of their methods. Nature do admit the paper was criticized but don't tell you the type of problems.

I have an identical twin brother; I began IF (eating only 1/3 of target calories on Mon/Fri) in 2012. We do functional similar levels of cardio, weight-training; we're both programmers, with similar hours.

Right now, I'm 1/2 taller, ~70 lbs lighter, I have ~10 lbs more LBM, blood pressure and blood work is spot on. He's got high blood pressure, and is diabetes adjacent.

I have a good friend who's an identical twin who did CFR (over 30 years, now); similar situation.

Here's the summary: getting fat is bad; losing fat is bad; being fat is deadly.
