In theory RDAP is open to all (federal) offenders. In practice, only those with drug-related offenses make it into the program, and the wait list is years-long and most eligible inmates complete their sentence before their spot on the wait list comes up. The reduction of sentence is applied against the drug-related sentence. The prisoner is moved to a halfway house up to 1-year before the original expiration of their sentence, and can be returned to prison for violating the rules of their transitional release.

Yeah but these are pretty common charges no? Seems relevant. For instance, my understanding is in some instances if you have a drug disorder with possession you're in a better position than merely found in possession and don't even use drugs (or use them without having a "disorder")

Yes, they're quite common. But pure drug offenses (other than dealing) generally get sent straight to diversion if they qualify (and space is available). Most drug offenses in addition to other crimes and this generally makes the defendant ineligible for diversion. Given two similar defendants whose only difference is that one is substance dependent and the other is not, the dependent defendant will never get a meaningfully shorter sentence than the defendant who is not and is more likely to end up with additional restrictions on their parole that make it easier to send them back to prison.

must be a lot of attorneys lying to their clients.

The programs are not memes, but your understanding of them, and how they are actually discussed by attorneys with their clients, appears to be based on internet memes of these programs.
It's all well and good that the copyright office deems that protection only applies to the parts of the work where a human was in control of the traditional elements of authorship, and that there is a duty to disclose the use of generative technologies ... but now one can plausibly assert that they are the sole author of a work which was produced by one of these models, and be 100% confident that no one can dispute that.
That's not actually true.

Cells want to process energy and make DNA. Atoms and electrons want to react with things.

And that's exactly what both of them do.

A LLM wants to write words, and it does. But it doesn't want the things it writes about, and that's the big distinction.
That would be a great feature for a smart watch.

Really appreciate it!

So right now a user can create a query, save it, and share it with their teammate for verification. Their isn’t currently a more automated workflow to do this, but it is something we are definitely exploring.
Can we get Project Zero to take a hard look at the next Pixels before they are released, please?

This does not seem an unreasonable ask.
It has no post-2021 knowledge, but while playing with it, I found that you can just paste the documentation (no need to even format it) and it'll just "learn" it. For example, safetensors wasn't available back then apparently, I just copied the docs into it and was able to get it write pretty good pytorch code that incorporates safetensors.
You could argue the person who set up the camera chose the angle or frame, just like a normal camera operator.
I noticed there's a couple of open issues on llama.cpp investigating quality issues. It's interesting if a wrong implementation still generates plausible output. It sounds like an objective quality metric would help track down issues.

In context learning may act like fine tuning, but crucially does not mutate the state of the system. The same model prompted with the same task thousands of times is no better at it the thousandth time than the first.
Yep, I was wrong. At-will is what I wanted to say.
I've long looked askance at the rise of legal sports betting, back to the draft kings ads. It just feels so utterly insidious. The machine that is capital is running out of ways to extract money from us little folk, and wider spread gambling is the last gasp? I dunno, hard to express.

It just gives me a bad feeling.
We have bot investors already without chatGPT (or algorithmic trading), and have for years now. You'd probably have better luck with them right now.
Firefox’s latest update adds a nifty PDF editing feature
Building 5 apps using totally separate APIs for 5 different kinds of sandboxes, and then jumping through the arcane and hostile hoops of 5 different app stores (or 50, if you want to support all the linux distros), does not exactly count as “solved across platforms as easily as the web”
Smart kids find out pretty quickly that they are smarter than others. Their options become dumbing themselves down to fit in with the average, finding similarly smart kids to hangout with, or just keeping to themselves.
I see chatGPT as eliminating an awful lot of drudgery.

For example, back in the 60's my dad was working on his book. The text was typed out double spaced, and he (and others) would make corrections. After a while, my mom would retype the whole thing.

Imagine typing a whole book. Again and again and again. She'd type hour after hour. It's dehumanizing.

And then came word processors. What a magical revolution! You could edit text instead of typing it all over again. I bet few people today realize what a great achievement that was.

All chatgpt does is select the most likely next word out of a corpus of existing text. It is not creative.

We don't need rooms full of typists anymore. Good riddance. I bet we get rid of a bunch of drudgery jobs with chatgpt.
> allow an attacker to remotely compromise a phone at the baseband level

Aren't modern phones supposedly securely separate the baseband from the OS (Android)? Does this mean that voice and data can be intercepted, but at least other data might be safe?
I imagine few shot learning would kick in for most new language features. A feature may be new to a particular language, but is it really new?
I tend to agree, and I find myself doubtful that this will remain the status quo for very long. As soon as these things reach the point where they could realistically be used for something like a Disney movie, all of a sudden there will be a lot of money behind finding ways to make the output copyrightable.

It seems to me that there's a spectrum here. If, for example, I create an animated music video for a song (that I own) by using Stable Diffusion to generate the imagery, generate all the prompts that are fed to the model, cut and edit that imagery together via my own creative vision... Where does the line between my authorship and the model's end? I'm not allowed to claim any ownership of that output?

Then again... If someone enters a similar prompt, and gets similar output, should I have some claim to that?

It's a pretty tricky philosophical issue, honestly. The more I think about it, I think I'm ok with this as the general framework, at least for now, as, if nothing else, it may prevent powerful interests like Disney from gobbling up ownership of the whole generative AI space in its infancy
The scary thing about AI is the human reaction.

Many of us have irrational biases, I won't be surprised to see the emergence of new cults around AI, some seeing it as a potential savior of humanity, others as a pure evil antichrist.

And for not-so-religiously inclined minds, our beliefs and fears have been distorted by fiction for decades.

We're talking about bank regulations, not every failed government policy. It appears you're just trying to move the goal posts.
I’m curious. If I’ve spent 8 hours getting the perfect prompt, fine tuning a few LORAs, mixing them, choosing between 8 different checkpointed stable diffusion models, and have done a bunch of in painting, does this constitute a copyrightable work?

Certainly a lot of artistic vision and effort to get to the finished “work”.
Correct. You can see exactly how we're constructing the messages here:

I am an ass, but for reasons unrelated to my job title choices :)

Actually I am a grad student in an engineering department doing mostly coding stuff, so I guess it is a stretch to even make claim to the less prestigious programmer title. But in any case, that was the one I was thinking of; I wasn’t aware of the finance programmers.

Red is without shelter, black is with.
Feels like you're literally repeating my point with added detail.

The only thing in your comment above I disagree with is the slight implication that education is underfunded in general.

Can't speak much about the UK but both the US and Germany (the ones I can speak about) put a shitload of money into education but manage to complete misallocate it.
It isn't about the amount of pie, it's just the wrong pie.

A lot of subjects are literally self promoting nonsense without any sort of proven ROI.
Haven't seen a western society with a school curriculum that would survive even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Of course this isn't the teachers job to fix but obviously if one were to try and optimize this system, you'd start by fixing obvious flaws in allocation - as that's an even lower hanging fruit than technology.
They completely failed to optimize both and I don't see any reason this would change now unless there's a collapse of the larger system.
Nearly every nightclub, dance floor, live music venue, and even many restaurants in pubs that I had in my younger years were pulled down to create "VIP rooms", which is what we call "rooms full of poker machines".

It's hard to express just how depressing it is what exactly has been done to sydney.

I genuinely don't know where people go out to socialise in their younger years these days, I cannot possibly imagine being 18 and getting the mates together to blast $300 on poker machines.
That's not a threat, that's an incentive.

China has more working fabs than the US does. If Taiwan's fabs disappear, Chinese semiconductor manufacturers will be more capable than the US ones.

The wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David%27s_Spaceship

It's been a long time since I read it... but the specifics of that part of the story:

> Back in Haven, Dougal's men used the acquired knowledge to build a primitive crewed spaceship, adopting a low-tech design of Robert Goddard—a rapid firing cannon using high-explosive shells detonating behind the ship to provide propulsion (but which might blow up the ship). Because the ship would not be airtight, only members of MacKinnie's company (who still had their space suits) could pilot it, and because it would only be able to carry a minimal payload, Graham (the lightest of the company) volunteered and was chosen as pilot. Before the launch, MacKinnie proposed to her, and she accepted. As soon as Prince Samual's World was unified, and in the presence of unsuspecting Imperial witnesses, Graham's ship was launched and achieved orbit, although it could not re-enter the atmosphere (meaning that the Imperials had to rescue Graham). King David then immediately requested that Prince Samual's World be admitted to the Second Empire as a self-governing world capable of crewed space travel, not as a colony.

Don't overlook the fact that agencies like the USCO are at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of determining stuff like this. They move first because they're on the front lines, as it were, but they can be overruled by the courts and the courts can be overruled by congress.

100% this will be litigated and likely altered in the coming months/years.
Correct, there was a company called use.fyi (by the founder of KissMetrics) that did only search and they eventually pivoted to data security after one of their users used their tool to figure out which employee was accessing what data and manually blocked one employee after the employee had left the company but somehow still had accidental access to files.
The public does know the current value of all securities, and of several different buckets. Yes, these market values will change at different rates for individual assets, and we dont have a list of every stock, bond, and loan.

We still have a very good understanding of the "delta" and the magnitude of the loss, if not with crystal clarity.

Nearly all of the unrealized loss was in securities more than >10 years.
They had 15.1 billion in unrealized HTM losses. 14.7 billion of this had a maturity >30

9 billion is agency MBS

2 billion in agency collateralized mortgage obligations

2.3 billion in commercial mortgage backed securities, and

1.2 in municipal bonds and notes.

They actually have relatively few treasuries, and none in their HTM portfolio. Unrealized losses on treasuries are ~1 billion, And mostly treasuries from treasuries less than 12 months ( contrary to what most people report).

I really recommend actually looking at their filing. It is extremely detailed.

As shown in the demo video (on GitHub [1], or Twitter [2]), you do get that result sometimes (with randomness)

Using greedy sampling (sample=false and top_k=0) you get "Bonjour, comment êtes-vous?", which appears to be a very direct translation.

As mentioned in one of my previous comments, these inaccuracies also occur in the PyTorch models, and so, it's not the library's fault :')

Would be interesting to hear if qryn (née cloki - clickhouse Loki) with vector might be a valid alternative to both Loki and traditional syslog.

AFAIK logshipping with journald is bespoke - but vector should be able to handle both syslog and journald - for relatively painless setup ...

Not sure if tailing is better with qryn though.

I wish it was this simple, but looking through the last month of “show hn” posts makes it clear that the tech community can’t be trusted either. There are countless examples of authors promoting their latest toy (startup idea) to shoehorn chatgpt into a high stakes environment.
On my Pixel 7, the option to disable appears to be "4G Calling". This does mean in areas where 4G calling is the only option, you're screwed.
I can assure you that your number was recycled.

In the last few years I got a new number from Verizon after moving from one state to another, in the hope that it would combat robocalls. Not only did I experience what you did, but received a number previously used by a plumber who apparently had trouble paying his car loan. I was getting frantic calls at all hours from people with plumbing problems, and from Honda threatening to repossess a car. Verizon and other carriers even admit to recycling numbers as soon as 6 months after they were last used. https://community.verizon.com/t5/Windows-Phone/How-Do-I-Chec....
> My point being, as you've proven in your reply, that most developers are going to only think of the most obvious cases.

I don’t think you can draw that conclusion from the fact that the comment didn’t contain all the information you expected.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect people to think of and mitigate every potential problem that can occur. You focus only on those that are both likely, and will have a big impact.

Will people that have experienced a vanishingly unlikely problem try to mitigate that from ever happening again? Sure. But I’m not sure if it’s actually rational to do so, when they have bigger and more likely problems to worry about.
Sports gambling has just been legalized in my state and I’ve been getting bombarded by advertisements non-stop over the last few weeks. I joke now that every commercial is a sports gambling commercial. And the rub is, as the article says, the “please gamble responsibly” in the fine print. Those companies want us to gamble as responsibly as is required to keep them from being banned and not a hair more.
Reading this, it’s clear a tool like InvokeAI (built on Stable Diffusion but with potentially a lot of human input in a mouse-driven GUI) could certainly qualify for human authorship under their principles.
TikTok's Fight to Avoid a US Ban
On a practical level, in order to protect authors and inventors (i.e. give them a reason to keep doing their work), this makes it even more vital to closely lock down AI interactions and preferably bring models offline in the sense of running locally on hardware without network component and where the bits are not sent anywhere except to the user. That way the output of the interaction can still be covered by trade secrecy if not published, since it will not be covered by copyright law if published or leaked by employees at the hosting company who have access to the output of the interaction.

To give a specific example, if as a paying user you craft a prompt to give you a competitive advantage, it will not be protected by copyright if leaked.

You can still run the code on your own server and others can still try to guess how you did it, but they should not have access to the interaction unless you explicitly publish it.

This will continue to encourage innovation. It is not necessarily the best trade-off but it is understandable.
>Colin Meloy made an experiment some time ago and created The Decemberists-like song with it and then actually recorded it. It worked but it was described as below average and bland. I share that vibe.

So... this early-stage AI was able to make music that's better than the vast majority of commercial recording artists these days? I fail to see how that's a failure.

> they basically launch Starlink satellites for free as they can reuse launch vehicles other customers already paid off.

Yes and no.

First, their customers actually prefer to use previously-flown boosters now. Insurance premiums on launches are slightly higher for first flights because the booster is 'unproven'. But more importantly, there's still big costs involved. The entire second stage of the rocket is expensive to build and it's not reused. Refurbishing the boosters takes time, people, effort.

Still cheaper than any of their competitors, and they get it "at cost", but we're still in the tens of millions range.
Subtitle: "Ahead of next week’s showdown in DC over ongoing national security concerns, the Chinese-owned social media app is considering all its options—from going along with a forced sale to taking the offensive." From the article:

>TikTok’s leadership is now considering more drastic measures to keep operating in the US, including separating from its parent, according to people familiar with the matter. A divestiture or stake sale would require China’s approval, and it’s not clear there would be a buyer. But TikTok’s leaders think the alternative—a full ban—would be a bigger risk to ByteDance’s financial success, one of the people says.

>Breaking off from ByteDance, which TikTok hasn’t told Congress it’s considering, would be a last resort. (In the end, ByteDance may not have a choice: The Biden administration recently warned the company to spin off TikTok or face a ban, according to people familiar with the matter.)
I hope and expect that any foolish use of inappropriate technology will lead to prompt disasters before it generally affects people who choose not to use it.

As was once said, the future is here, but distributed unevenly. We can be thankful for that.
They’ve been being sold snake oil for years internally, is I think the point being made.

This is awesome, can't wait to get api access to the 32k token model. Rather than this approach of just converting the whole repo to a text file, what I'm thinking is, you can let the model decide the most relevant files.

The initial prompt would be, "person wants to do x, here are the file list of this repo: ...., give me a list of files that you'd want to edit, create or delete" -> take the list, try to fit the contents of them into 32k tokens and re-prompt with "user is trying to achieve x, here's the most relevant files with their contents:..., give me a git commit in the style of git patch/diff output". From playing around with it today, I think this approach would work rather well and can be like a huge step up from AI line autocompletion.

Has anyone found a way to get TypeScript to run directly in the browser without a build step since Microsoft removed the js files that did this?

Basically, Is this following pattern still possible?

<script src="cdn/typescript.js"></script>
<script src="mycode.ts"></script>

If not, what typed language do people here use for buildless front-end dev? I REALLY want to move away from weak-dynamically-typed PLs.
> Unit testing of hook based code is non existent IME. It’s some kinda funky E2E feeling test.

I’m guessing you’re referring to the fact that you can’t access component state like you can with class components. If so, that’s not required to do a unit test. That’s a sign that implementation details are leaking into your tests.
SemDeDup: Data-efficient learning at web-scale through semantic deduplication
It's interesting, when I was a teenager gtp would have been amazing (I cut my programming teeth on Markov model chatbots). As an adult who knows how the stack works, gtp is a letdown. Like chatting with a flatline construct in neuromancer, it could be useful to extract information from, but nobody is home and it doesn't excite me at all.

This is an slow-boiling extension of invasive surveillance that is apparently just not a problem to most people. I think the real limits on it will be that brains are all scratch built works not the same or even well aligned beyond gross physical structures. I expect getting the mind reading model to generalize will be hard.

I think the lesson from ai art, and prose and mind reading is that it provides any capacity we didn't have to start with, but that giving governments and corporations the ability to automate them at scale fundimentally changes the consequences and ethics of the situations.
