We should agree on some time frame when it's acceptable to talk about what you could do to avoid being a victim then. It's perfectly fine to say "maybe not now" while the victim is still getting stitches, but having to wait 10 years is also pretty useless because it'll be forgotten.

When something happens is usually the best time to talk to others about that same thing. A bank exploded? Hey, have you heard that there are ways to spread the risk over multiple banks? A hospital got all their files encrypted and needs to pay a ransom? Let's talk about backup strategies and how to secure infrastructure because that could be your organization.

I don't think people discussing strategies seek to deflect blame from a potential bad actor (it doesn't need to be about crime, accidents happen all the time, and there are plenty of things you can do to lower your risk), they just want it not to happen again, or at least less frequently.
I can imagine a few reasons why they'd do this, but some of it may just be 'why not'. Studio Ghibli has done the same thing with their animation software and it hasn't turned into a disaster for them. Making movies, especially movies that people will pay to watch is hard, and any serious competitors already have their own solutions. If people use moonray and that becomes a popular approach, competitors who don't use it are at a disadvantage from a hiring perspective. Also, DreamWorks controls the main repo of what may become a popular piece of tooling. There's soft power to be had there.
When I clicked I had the vague sense that I had seen "code at the speed of thought" elsewhere, and a quick google showed that it's a pretty common thing for people to claim, especially about editors or related features. Maybe not the best choice of motto.

You have the why right there. The first time it was to show up the Soviets, but it was monstruously expensive and they couldn't compete, so there was no reason to keep doing it. And now it's less expensive and the Chinese are stronger and so on.
The author seems to be of the opinion that AI should not be given to the general public and be kept in some sort of walled garden with tightly controlled supervised access.

I can't help but wonder how much time he thinks can realistically be bought with these type of restrictions .. and also wonder if he's changed his mind at all since this was written.
I understand most of your questions may be rhetorical, but I'll try to clarify some aspects.

The FDIC insurance coverage limit is an arbitrary number. It was enacted during the era of the Great Depression to protect the common people's money from bank failures. The limit was raised from $100k to $250k during the GFC. It was always meant as a deposit insurance to protect the common person...not the wealthy. To offer full insurance to all bank deposits would cost $18-20 trillion. This has never been the normal and is just not feasible.

You always have counterparty risk when you have someone else hold your money. Even if the fed starts CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) and gives everyone a fully 'insured' bank account, the fed is still your counterparty. These risks should always be managed.

You can avoid counterparty risk by holding your own money. You can transact in cash if you want to avoid banks. You would have to take care of your own security and safekeeping which makes it unfeasible in large amounts.

To think that companies or VCs would not be advised of standard corporate finance practices seem like a huge failure.

One of the axioms in finance I've run across is that you can never eliminate risk. You can only move it around.
I mean yeah okay fine the phrase is then "according to your understanding of the rules set forth by Docker, as of today's edit of the linked PDF (2023-03-15), and in accordance with the current (2023-03-15) configuration of the three images, `alpine`, `node`, and `golang`; are those three images covered by the open source program and will continue to be accessible or will those images cease to be accessible by non-paying members of the general public in thirty (30) days?"

It's just that I'd thought we'd moved past the need for that level of pedantry here, but apparently not.
If you want to say something's not possible, the fact that it happened in the past is something you have to reckon with. What changes in "future bitcoin world" prevent these seizures?
Having it physically isn't relevant. Plenty of people still buy games as physical media, and those games, including single player, all stop functioning the moment the company turns off the DRM - errr, "advanced feature" -- servers.

Having something physical is meaningless when every piece of software comes with T&Cs that say it's dependent on server support.
Crazy to see it all starts in 1996.

It not be out of the ordinary for nobody to understand that what it is doing is impossible except for a few souls in the engineering department, who only agreed to implement it after repeated assurances from someone 8 steps removed from anything to do with communication, that the truth would be clearly communicated. I don't think anyone involved is lying, what happens in big corporations is that each of one hundred people distorts the truth by 1%, for a total distortion of 100%.
what's the deal with MLS data? That sounds pretty interesting, some kind of protective moat they have in place? What's the backstory there?
It is good to recognize that they are as evil as every other big corp. I still use Windows, Google, buy from Amazon etc, but I recognize that those companies maybe aren't a force for good. OpenAI said they would be different but turned out that they weren't, and to inform people that they changed we need articles like this.
It’s more like I have a good understanding of both domains as a CS/Rad actively conducting research in the field with practical experience on the challenges involved in this fearmongering.

Radiology is not the lowest hanging fruit when you talk about AI taking over jobs.

What do you think is going to happen to tech hiring when a LLM is putting out production ready code (or refactoring legacy). I would be far more worried (in reality learning new/advanced skills) if I was a software engineer right now where there isn’t a data or regulatory hurdle to cross.

As with every other major advancement in human history, people’s job descriptions may change but won’t eliminate the need.

With that said people are also dramatically overstating the power of LLMs which appear very knowledgeable at face value but aren’t that powerful in practice.

Right now, this is just used for the screen-sharing feature.

> The binary is pretty big by itself

It is. One major reasons is that we're shipping a "fat binary" (x86_64 and arm64 build in a single file). We did this to simplify the download process for users, but now that the app is getting bigger, we should probably start shipping two separate DMGs, to reduce the download time. That would cut the binary size in half.
Note that the map only shows National Priority List sites. They're considered to be the most polluted but that doesn't mean that sites not on the NPL list aren't also a concern (my county only has one NPL site but over a dozen non-NPL contaminated areas)
It is not. Every 6 months, I type back in my credit card number tap a button to load the eSim. Literally nothing else I have to do. I also can let my service lapse when I am not in the country.
In US Law (Hearsay doctrine) that's called "admission against interest". Demonstrably self-harming statements are presumed to be honest. (The ways this can be abused by liars are interesting. Example: a parent confessing to a crime their child committed.)
First, no. My wife earns more than me, but phrases like "FDIC insurance" make her eyes glaze. She'd ask her parents, "What do you do?" They'd answer, "Keep cash under your mattress."

Second, what does that really mean? How to evaluate the quality of your bank isn't typically discussed by personal finance teachers, beyond looking at the interest rates and fees.
Things like this feature should be opt-in or basically all pictures made with those smartphone will be legally unusable.
I worked a contract for a state appeals court way back in the day. I believe anything the judge considers is recorded as part of the case, so “comment” is more official than just raising your hand. Either you’ve filed a document or taken the witness stand. Either way lawyers are involved so that’s a lot of friction.
It's like they took a look at everything that made Atom and VS Code so popular, and decided to do the exact opposite.
I'm curious about your work, because I worked on something similar during my grad school. What kind of applications in industry do you use deep learning systems for? Process control?
Back in 2005, way before Huawei was known as a smartphone manufacturer, I was working at an R&D office focused on phone networks in Brazil.

I went to a meeting with one of our clients that was just signing with us. The main reason that he was contracting with us was, I quote, "the last time we went to China we found a Huawei rep making a demo of an application that worked exactly like ours - which was meant to run on Cisco gear. Even the terminal escape sequences to get to debugging mode was the same. The Chinese were stealing from us and there was absolutely nothing we could do about it."

Copyright law might be enough of a deterrent to make Joe Nobody pay $9.99 to Netflix instead of torrenting movies, and (on occasion) it may be enough to force some high-profile artist to give credit to some other lesser known musician who "served as inspiration". Outside of that, copyright law is as effective to "stop bad actors" as the "War on Drugs" is effective to stop organized crime and drug trafficking.

To me what’s exciting about Chat/GPT type of tech, is that they can be the “coordinators” of other models.

Imagine asking an AI assistant to perform a certain industrial control task. The assistant, instead of executing the task “itself”, could figure out which model/system should perform the task and have it do it. Then even monitor the task and check it’s completion.

Who gets this penalty? The FTC?

Why do these penalties always end up as a fine for the company? They should also be forced to simply go and refund the amount they overcharged at least and preferably add a multiple too.
Wow that's cheap! But it sounds extremely unhealthy
The "it finds an image in its database" understanding of diffusion models doesn't work for SD because it can interpolate between prompts, but since there is only one moon, and it doesn't rotate, and their system doesn't work when the moon is partially obscured, there is really no need to describe it as anything more complex than that.
Exactly. If you have a portfolio of 100% HTM bonds, your income schedule is completely predictable, down to the cent at every moment in time.

But your deposit demand is unpredictable and must be modeled. I don’t think even Taleb would have the scenario of “on Friday, you’ll lose $40b of deposits.” The bank would have had to be sitting on billions of T-bills, which ain’t gonna happen.

It seems like every bank is a tweet away from destruction.

We have very different experiences then - hot reloading almost never works in native development, unless the language and ecosystem have been designed around it. Which is not really the reality we live in.

It's nowhere close to "90%" when most projects cannot be reloaded.
Yes, but the problem is when you have already purchased a bunch of other things that can only be accessed through that service.

They should be required to refund every purchase on an account that they close.
Thanks for saving me time.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. Its code is generally alright, but it has a habit of picking outdated / deprecated / poorly maintained libraries.

I wonder if that's because it's not weighting by recency in it's training or something.
> there seems to be accumulating evidence that "finding the optimal solutions" means (requires) building a world model.

Was this ever in doubt? This has been the case forever (even before "AI"), and I thought it was well-established. The fidelity of the model is the core problem. What "AI" is really providing is a shortcut that allows the creation of better models.

But no model can ever be perfect, because the value of them is that they're an abstraction. As the old truism goes, a perfect map of a terrain would necessarily be indistinguishable from the actual terrain.

What are you talking about?
Malware and spyware is just as likely (if not very much *more* likely - depending on the definition of malware or spyware*) to be in corporate sponsored software than it is in foss software, and that idea extends to software distribution.

I would expect the security and quality of images in a decentralized system to be far superior to any centralized system spun up by some for profit entity.

* malware and spyware could be defined here as software that allows remote keylogging, camera activation, installation of any executables, etc - i.e. root access - which is precisely what most corporate entities make software to do (e.g. "security solutions" that you have to install on your work computers). This is also most web services which are 90% tracking with an occasional desired application or feature these days.

There’s a bit of a sweet spot with replayability and DLCs.

I have a hard time finishing games. When they add new chapters to the game they’ve moved the goal posts as it were, and that doesn’t feel good. If they introduce some new side quests and a new race, I’ve still finished the game (or let’s be honest, got 90% of the way).

But if I want to play Skyrim again as a telekinetic khajiit then I might pay for DLC.
> More generally there is way too much crap in the environment and it is past time for people to start protesting this.

Some of this crap is worse than others. Some we can destroy and maybe make our food supply and water safe. But others are really hardy, by design (Teflon!). There's no good way to get rid of them and this should have been treated as an emergency ages ago. In a sense they are worse than radioactive waste because they don't even decay.

>But brain teaser questions and asking gotcha questions about obscure python syntax or something like that isn't a good correlative indicator.

Agreed, but that's not how we interview.

>Did you hire a candidate who say... didn't know what MRO was, but created a stellar result for a take home project?

Do you have me confused with the other guy?

>What I'm saying is that the market is flooded with these false negatives.

Understood. The market is also flooded with incompetent devs, capable of talking at length about Python syntax (and sometimes even the computational model, e.g. MRO, etc.), but who aren't actually able to put that knowledge to use in engineering systems. These are systematically catastrophic hires, by which I mean, the engineering team is significantly better off hiring no-one, than hiring them.

May I ask, why does this seem to matter so much to you? If you are a bootcamp graduate yourself, that doesn't preclude you from being a good engineer. I am more than happy to believe you are the one-in-a-thousand counter-example.
Expanded with details. If a fully functioning, sufficiently-decentralized crypto economy can be bootstrapped (meaning go to gas station, fill up your car, all with bitcoin), the government no longer has this ability.

There is no one on earth who can “freeze” a bitcoin wallet, and beyond that point it’s put up or shut up.

Spoiler alert: In the US, thanks to our second amendment, the government will shut up in such a situation.

Banks do create money out of thin air, but depositors fleeing does in fact limit their ability to loan money. Here's how that works: every time a bank loans money, they create an asset (the repayment they're owed) and a matching liability (the actual money sitting in someone's account). So long as this stays within the bank or outflows match with inflows, everything works. However, if money starts flowing out of the bank overall for whatever reason then the trick no longer works - and that includes if the money is being transferred out by customers other than the ones being lent to, such as their employees or suppliers. The main consequences of this are usually that one bank can't be substantially more aggressive in lending or offer substantially different interest rates than everone else, which of course affects demand to borrow money from the bank.

I haven't played enough with it to give good feedback, I've edited my comment to be more fair.

* Seems to me that a lot of the keyboard shortcuts are chords or require hitting an arrow key, sometimes even both. Example: VS Code's default mapping for vertical split is cmd+backslash, but Zed requires cmd+k -> arrow key.

* The project panel (file tree) doesn't support hjkl for navigation. The website says Vim mode is still under construction, but in my mind that applies to actual buffer editing, not general UI interactions. My impression is that today most editors, hell even a lot of websites, support hjkl or similar for navigation in cases where it doesn't conflict with anything else.

My perspective is that "keyboard-focused" implies "ergonomic shortcuts and UI navigation without leaving the home row". If I'm gonna move my hand from the home row to reach the arrow keys, I might as well just reach for the mouse and get 10x the possible interactions. Anecdotally, I tested myself just now and I'm pretty sure it takes me more time to "find my footing" when I move my fingers to the arrow keys than it does to just grab a mouse and click something.

This might be wrong expectations on my end, but my hope is that Zed can bring the powerful navigation of Doom Emacs/Spacemacs minus the bugginess and terrible performance of Emacs. Whenever the devs talked about Zed, I just imagined VSpaceCode without the jank that comes when you override 90% of an editor's default bindings. What I'm seeing from an hour of usage doesn't feel that much more powerful than VS Code in terms of keyboard navigation (kudos on the snappy performance though, it really is night and day). I'm aware this is an early beta, I just hope you folks agree and are going to push more in this direction.
Good, they are modern day Robin Hoods, redistributing wealth from the senile boomers hoarding their wealth to the generations they stole the future from.
I snorted when reading that, how many cell phone images of the back of the moon exist?
It shouldn't be too much effort to extend/rewrite that function to use websockets (i wouldn't use just http for something like this). All the important functions used by that function (llama_eval, sample_top_p_top_k etc.. ) seem to be public anyway.
Is there a fundamental difference?

I mean, the only thing GPT does is predict the next word, which makes it not so different from a compression algorithm. And diffusion models (the image generating stuff) are essentially fancy denoisers.

Depending on how you assemble the big building blocks, you get generation or you get prediction.
Yes. We did.

There's rocks on the moon. That's it.

We went collect moon rocks several times. We put a flag there, we put reflectors up there. The moon itself is rather boring.

Saying your question is "good faith" doesn't necessarily make it so. Same with implying you have a "steelman" argument. It's not. It's an idle thought.

The only reason to go back at this point is to conduct certain types of research. The moon doesn't have the same protections as Earth with regards to radiation. You can't just chuck some people and some plants on the surface and call it a day.

But it would be a good place to see what could withstand the radiation. Ways to mitigate that radiation. Ways to field test certain extraterrestrial bases with the least amount of risk possible. I mean, it's still 240k miles away, so if something goes really wrong, you're likely dead. But it's not like you're halfway to Mars and you realize you forgot to bring water.
There is no reason to believe that the AI will have self-preservation or self-replication as its goal.

One hypothetical example: it decides to "help" us and prevent any more human pain and death, so it cryogenically freezes all humans. now its goal is complete so it simply halts/shuts-down
