Hey,

I have my whole life an anxiety disorder. That’s is not a secret :)

I’m not sure about finding a wife. When I understand correctly autism is not like autism and you can just scratch the spectrum.

I’m not likely to be the „typical“ autism you see on tv.

But maybe you are right :)
And I thought signaling NaNs were bad enough already…so you’re saying there’s no portable way of testing whether a bit pattern is going to signal if you operate on it without actually doing the operation? This is incredibly cursed :/
I think they're mostly operating on a whitelist.
As someone who loves Apple stuff: what kind of people are you hanging out with?

I’ve never heard an adult I interact with express that. My Android using friends don’t care.

Code is written once but read many times. Better to optimize for reading than writing.
If they're that well funded, skilled engineers are more likely to be the bottleneck than compute availability.
Hi anon.

I am 24 and I feel extremely similarly and have the same thoughts often. However I am not a father.

I feel I have no intuitive social skills, but I’ve successfully been able to learn. For example, I avoided eye contact (and was not aware) until I was 12. I still struggle with basic social interactions. Yet, I’ve been told multiple times I have great social skills. I think I just try really hard, and it’s exhausting. What most people seem to do intuitively, I have to concentrate on intensely.

Is there anyone you’re very comfortable with? Are your social skills improved when you’re with someone you love and trust?
I think the idea is that once built it would
be a service that could parse a question, then automatically develop and run any query in response.

Sounds cool until it produces the wrong results.. then you'll need to hire an analyst to check every query just in case.

I am hesitating to make a guess, but given various existing public lists of 'bad guys', it would be silly of me to assume that the targeted population has a smaller head count than those lists combined ( if not drastically extended ). If that is the case, the sheer number of those likely caught in that particular surveillance would likely be categorized as mass surveillance as opposed to targeted. I get that each industry likes to play with definitions, but you don't get to throw a grenade into lake and call it traditional fishing as it was always intended.

Or are they are considered targeted, because they are on the list and the list just keeps growing?

The whole conversation is silly. If you even buy this particular story ( we only look at accounts of non-Americans ), it gets dismantled rather quickly the moment you try to go through a basic thought exercise of how you would sift that data and ensure no 'foreign intelligence of value' was lost. The how is simple. We take everything in. That is the definition of mass surveillance.

And before we get into 'well, none of that was ever disclosed', I would like to turn your attention to the one of those few times, when IC had a chance to come clean and chose not to[1] and lie in front of congress. Good times. In other words, I can't really take their words at face value.

All this is before we get to Snowden and his revelations.

The wins from tail calls are generally more from being able to skip the overhead that comes from a function call rather than better branch prediction.
Wanted to add on to this as it has a lot of useful info. Be very very sure before you create a C corp if you do go this route. Prepare to pay around $500 in incorporation fees, $400 Delaware franchise fees [1], ~$500 misc filing fees (foreign entity registration, registered agent, tax filing fees @ EOY).

If you're required to run payroll (to uhhh.. pay yourself since you're now an employee of a separate corporation / entity):
Gusto is ~$550/yr + the cash you need to pay yourself (which you have to now pay payroll tax on as well as personal income tax). Workers comp, disability and PFL insurance, unemployment insurance, yada yada. Since you're the only shareholder / executive, the minimum wage requirement probably won't apply to you [2][3] but your state might have a minimum requirement per quarter to be eligible for payroll.

All in all, expect around $low-single-thousands in expenses just for running and maintaining a C corp per year. You can purchase business items with your personal credit card to get off the ground as long as you keep a good accounting of them and reimburse yourself later but do not do the reverse. Read your corporate docs (bylaws etc), keep meeting minutes, even if by yourself and have a yearly shareholder meeting, even by yourself :D

Also, file your 83b election!

If this sounds like a lot, probably stick with an LLC in the state you live in :) Hope this helps and feel free to reach out! GLHF

Do you mean that they would be flooded by outputs on public forums? Or rather that the weights could be passed around in a subversive way to encode forbidden communications? I think if it’s the former they could just pull the plug on a forum. Not sure it’s really conducive to the forum’s public longevity if it’s spammed by LLM outputs, anyhow.
I wonder when authoritarian censors will weaponize LLMs.
To put this in perspective: the outage was 52 min. The total number of employees OpenAI have are 375. The launch date was just some months ago.

At Google, the Cloud SQL dashboard was unavailable for around 12 hours a couple of weeks ago if I read this correctly:
https://status.cloud.google.com/incidents/xg2qrL1UuSJiPDZALJ...
The total number of employees of Google are 156 500. Google Cloud was launched 2008.

So when people say scaling is hard... it's not a solved problem and you shouldn't
be surprised when these things happen.

A solid theoretical foundation and more testing is better of course.
Isn't the use of AGPL specifically to stop many including yourself's specific reasons? They want to build a business off it, not build your business off it.

If the license doesn't work for your use case, the license seems to have done its job successfully.
I mean there’s a lot of reasons to not leak secrets to a third party, buggy AI or otherwise
https://www.reddit.com/r/PygmalionAI/ is one. Mainly people are using it as an alternative to http://character.ai which people have said used to be incredible but has been slowly degrading in quality as it has grown more popular. The 6B parameter model, which is the only one that is even worth running according to many users, only runs on cards with 16gb of vram or Google Colab Cloud Service and people say it's not as good as character.ai.

There are other huge models like Bloom that are more general purpose, but they require greater than 24GB of ram which means multiple linked GPUs to even run them much less train them.

Thus, unlike stable diffusion, chatbots that run on common consumer GPUs are going to need some work to be competitive with commercial offerings.
I think their models all run on Azure infrastructure?!
iCloud web on Firefox cannot use security key to login
Subroutines predate structured programming.
Authoritarian governments could do the same to drown out opposing views
Don't worry those governments will probably do the opposite (making LLMs to filter those). The whole policy of making these systems behind an API is the fact that we can't deploy these AI systems safely so that they can be misused.
I live (mostly) a good hour and a half away from the capital city in a state three times larger than Texas, the state pop. is a bit above 2 million and the urban population (one capital city with extensive sprawl, several very large towns) is also a bit under 2 million.

The very few hundred thousand or so that have the bulk of the space to ourselves are extremely happy to keep it "undeveloped", outside of agriculture, forest work, and mining sites with most (and all new ones) having strict controls about rehabilition .. in keeping with traditional land holders with some 70K years of history invested here.
Use non-breaking space for identifiers and regular/breaking space as a delimiter? Admittedly you'd want an editor that clearly showed the difference and made the former easy to type.
Trash 80s were a nickname based on the TRS (Tandy Radio Shack) name. Nothing bad about them. In fact, the TRS Model III - 102, that I still own is still used. (And has a basic written by Bill Gates).

They were great computers!
That’s not learning, that’s just brute forcing every possible answer and trying to memorise them all.
But they did not take any permission from developers asking if training an AI and generating similar code is fair use. So I would believe there is something in their terms and conditions that makes them think it's fair use.
wrong way around. Authoritarian regimes these days don't censor as much as they put out surplus of information to destabilize any sort of meaning in public discourse. As such these generative tools will be one of the best weapons to counter any narrative that human actors can put up.

The idea that censorship is a weapon of authority is a pre information age idea when signal-to-noise was high.
There was a radio ad on NPR for Indeed.com that said "We identify candidates for you whose resumes are an exact match for your job description," and I thought "NO YOU FOOLS! YOU'RE GIVING AWAY THE GAME!"

It's literally as simple as using the exact phrases in the job description to (truthfully) describe your own accomplishments.
>but regulations have forced them to cripple it in some ways

the regulations don't apply to Microsoft apparently, because even goddamn Bing has been better at it than Google for years now.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think that's what they are trying to say.

I think they are saying you /need/ to groom less, and that's objectively true. 720p webcams just don't pick up the scruffiness you can see standing less than 6 feet from someone.

All the time, during lunch I will squeeze in 60 minutes of steady state on my rowing machine, I row competitively, that's about 1000 calories burned. I don't always take a shower right after.

What I love about this is during lunch-ish, I can be maxed out on caffeine. As I understand, you want to slowly ramp up your caffeine over several hours. Can't normally do that before work, or even after work.

> Zoom out: The value of the commute time saved is even greater than the numbers suggest, write the paper's authors, for three reasons:

> Remote work saves money. (No more spending on gas or trains or buses.)

> Workers also spend less time grooming and getting ready for work when they're remote.

> Working from home gives people more autonomy over their time during the day.

I know exactly what they are talking about!
That's a completely bizarre comparison. No number of Android developers will lead to higher availability of Cloud SQL observability. The gross number of employees at an org is meaningless.
Having kids is hard.
Everyone always says how exciting it is and how glad they are etc. I think that this is actually a trick or maybe a social norm.

Fuck that, parenting is hard. Yeah, there's times that being a dad is great, but most of the time its just someone screaming, pooping, fighting etc.
Some stuff gets easier only to be replaced by some other hard stuff.

Give it like 8 years, you'll be alright (unless you make one more)... ;)
There are people who get iPhones just for iMessage. They don't want to be the one person who puts the entire group chat into "green bubble" mode. People accuse Apple of doing this intentionally, but you know, it's not their fault SMS is terrible; even Android users tend to use WhatsApp or something for group chats.
Someone should make a single-use website for where to incorporate, i.e. "i want to register my [whatever company type] in [state]" and it tells you all the costs associated with it
Yep, TRS = Trash. It was a nickname. They are pretty good computers. I still use my TRS Model 102 (portable computer, includes basic and a few decent apps).

Tandy Radio Shack (TRS) make some decent computers. My first IBM compatible PC was a Tandy 1000. Used that through-out college.

Good stuff that got stuck with a bad nickname.

I had to reproduce wx-widgets on a new platform (PS3) as a port. Doing so and reading the original UI guides for Mac it's amazing how much research went into things like click targets and mouse zones for buttons, scrollbars and nested menus. Windows is lacking here but once you notice it it informs you why many 2010 era js native widgets like nested menus were hot garbage. I spent a month getting the feel on nested menus right by adjusting zones, and a similar amount on scrollbars targets and zones. I dredged up those original mac guides and they were very helpful.
I would say that's a heavy generalization TBH. I'm married and was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 32. There are lots of autistic people who are married. You're not wrong that autistic people can lack social intuition but honestly what OP wrote sounds _exactly_ like how I felt before I went and got tested. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself because I was able to view life through that lens and alter the way I view myself for the better.
Who said you have to be. Working remote doesn't mean you have to be at home. Go to a coffeeshop, library, etc...
Exactly. I should be able to create read only tokens. I think banks don’t really want us getting our own data without going through their marketing interface.
Diesel and some really big capacitors.
This haunts me. It seems almost as good as snek_case but doesn't require a Shift. If we're not Shifting the letters, why are we shifting the -s? My OCD. (Or my autism?) Help.

Another consideration: whether the program you're typing in will stop at underscores or hyphens when using Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right Arrow when highlighting. If I want to highlight `this_variable_with_a_long_name` without using the mouse, it's going to be a pain if I have to hit the left arrow key six times instead of once. (Frustratingly, it varies from editor to editor.)
The word "modern" is just marketing fluff at this point.

Hey thanks for sharing.

I understand you.

Well I’m comfortable with my family.

My wife helps me a lot. I can just ask her when I don’t know how to react. Or she reminds me when I need to thank someone.

When I’m exhausted of social interacting I can just chill and she guides me.

But I’m sure anyone can help you when you trust the person.
Most likely your ISP have throttling for torrent bandwidth. Use VPN.
This is the same sort of handwavy stuff "AI Ethicists" were warning Google SERPs, Reddit, Stack Overflow, etc will quickly become overwhelmed if we dare let GPT into the wild. In reality we have existing reputation systems that AI generated text alone can't reproduce.

Spam sites are still spam sites. The only exception are sites like CNET co-opting the tools to seed AI in combination with their own real bloggers (saying 'journalist' would be a stretch here).

These still require reputable people/business to be behind them directly to give credibility, people that can be blacklisted. It's not like turning an AI bot loose and instantly you have 1000x fake Twitter accounts with 100k followers and top ranked on Google.

The "long tail" of spam sites do not threaten governments.

China cares most about reputable news sites and popular social media influencers going viral with taboo stories. I'm skeptical news sites or influencers can be generated artificially merely using AI, in a way that is scalable enough to actually be a problem for censors. Ultimately the censors just need to ban the source... the domains or accounts with 20-100k+ followers or news sites with actual reach (ultimately a small set of sources). Fake AI content doesn't directly solve the existing reputation signals.

The more I think about it the less I'm convinced this is a real threat to the general reputation networks.

That said - where this does matter is the typical grey/black market where scams already operate. Not in highly public reputable places like the top rankings on Google or Twitter or w/e popular Chinese social network. It's the hackers exploiting email lists, Indian call centers running combination IM/phone scams, etc. It's the low-end of the market for criminal get-rich-quick schemes, not something that generates popular movements that threaten governments or popular political ideologies.
> People have no further curiosity beyond working and making money in tech.

For some, sure.

There are also many who still explore, but qualitatively the overall culture feels very different.

Unfortunately, there are employers who seem to want their employees to tinker, but own virtually everything they do, all while still playing lip service to supporting work-life balance, including parenting. So we get mixed messages and weird hiring priorities.
It's not as if anyone could afford to self-host the giant GPT-3 model anyway.

Maybe my gripe is a few years old before chip cards became prevalent here in US. You get my point, the lowest common denominator is a card so if my phone isn’t going to work for whatever reason and I have to dig out my card, I’d prefer to just dig out my card. The only time I use Apple Pay is on the phone in their app store, otherwise it’s just irrelevant.

How Google, and most likely all businesses, should think about outages is more complex than being up or down. Is it just part of the product, like Slack threads yesterday? Is it 1/2 or 1/1M requests or operations?

The Google SRE book is an excellent work: https://sre.google/sre-book/introduction/

Also some perspective, if you look at the OpenAPI outages for Jan 2023, the up time is worse than Google Cloud SQL.

This is pretty interesting to me. Usually companies will gradually switch over to git. This is the first time I've heard of a company using git and ditching it in favor of older technology.
I'm pretty sure "bothsidesing" (aka Murc's law) is from the Bush administration, but don't know where to find evidence.

Was Occupy class-based? They were intersectional progressive/anarchist/professional activists, so essentially they were in favor of everything ever and habitually unable to prioritize. That combined with their official policy of not deciding what their demands were destroyed themselves pretty effectively. (They also had "progressive stacking", which was like an early form of DEI liberalism.)

Class-based leftism wasn't really popular till Bernie though.
It’s true, though most UI/UX people are not experts in their field. Often they’re less useful to listen to than people who actually use the software. Now an expert - that’s a different matter. An expert will transform your entire sense of what a product even is.

ICML – Clarification on Large Language Model Policy LLM
... if only autistic women existed ...

Autism is a spectrum. Autistic people tend to be nerds. High functioning autistic people learn to mask and read others and play the games that allistic people navigate with ease. It's never easy; it's draining to mask all the time. When we find autistic mates, we can find common interests and space to unmask. Finding a mate does not rule out autism.
They address this a bit in the article:

> Francis said there needed to be a distinction between sin and a crime when it came to homosexuality. The Catholic Church considers homosexual acts “intrinsically disordered” and a sin, but believes that people in the L.G.B.T.Q. community should be welcomed with respect and sensitivity.
