It'll be very difficult getting most pentesting apps to work in a sandbox anyway. It was difficult enough to move away from root and a ton of things will still need sudo.

But it's ok, this is not the kind of distro where this matters. It's not for general work and targeted at users that really know what they're doing.

Gotta remember that Anathem's society is downstream from us on the directed knowledge graph of 'enlightenment'.

Which of us is ignorantly perpetuating a falsehood? It's important to maintain civil dialog until the truth is discovered.

Also, capitalists have the nukes. Any actual threat to the current economic world order would result in nuclear holocaust. Our rulers would much sooner attempt to destroy everything than hand over their power.
I think the dread you may be feeling is "facts without agency" which is to say that a system which can answer any question on a topic but doesn't have the agency to understand can be really bad. The whole "best way to hide a body" stuff when Siri was released, now backed up by facts is what? possible? The example (no I don't know how real it was) of an alleged 13 year old girl asking how to make sex with a 31 year old male she met on the internet "special" is the kind of thing where a human in the loop starts with "Wait, this is the wrong question." Similarly with questions about how to successfully crime.

Having run a search engine for a bit it quickly became clear how criminals use search engines (mostly to search out unpatched web sites with shopping carts or wordpress blogs they could exploit at the time). I don't doubt that many malicious actors are exploring ways to use this technology to further their aims. Because the system doesn't "understand" it cannot (or at least has not been shown to) detect problems and bad actors.

FWIW, the first application I thought of for this tech is what the parent comment fears, basically having people who can follow a script running a "Front end" that presents to an end user a person who looks familiar and speaks their language in a similar accent (so accent free as far as the caller is concerned) about a topic such as support or sales. Off shore call centers become even more cost effective with on-the-fly translation because you don't even need native language speakers. That isn't a "bad thing" in that there is nominally a human in the loop but their interests are not aligned with the callers (minimize phone time, costs, boost satisfaction).

And of course the whole "you trained it on what?" question where you wonder just what is used as source material and without knowing that what sort of trust can you put in the answer?
Not an expert in either technology but I would imagine a lot of the difficulties of speech to text (bad recording conditions, variety of accents & pronunciation differences, etc) also have analogues in computer recognition of hand signs (camera alignment is bad, cut off, lighting is bad, someone's hand signs are lazily performed or slightly different than textbook ASL, etc).

Speech to text was "solved" a long time ago but I've seen it take many years to become as usable as it has recently. And it still regularly is frustrating to use for me!
ASL is based on French, so the structure is completely different.

Does it actually say how much Duolingo Max would cost? I do not see anything in that article or on their website. I don't have the app, maybe it's already live and pricing is available there.

I deleted Duolingo years ago when it felt like I knew everything it had to teach me, but was still far from fluent in the language. I assume it's gotten better, and would consider trying this new feature.
I'm not interested in applying GPT4 to search. I think the gamified, hallucinating ChatGPT is way more fun to play with. What does it take to have an uncensored ChatGPT to play with in a sandbox?
I can't articulate this well for now, but in all of the mayhem you asked to imagine, I must say I also see a possibility to freedom. Freedom from news because they are all garbage anyway, already now. Freedom from stupid mortgage application processes because you just buy/rent what you can afford. And so on. Of course, it is likely most people do not choose this freedom - maybe not even me - but it is there.
When a parrot says something, I ask it "what does that mean" and it is stumped. When a human or GPT says something, I ask them "what does it mean" and they both reply in a way that shows they understand.

In order to show lack of understanding you need to provide a clear test that ChatGPT would fail but a human would pass.
Can I ask a naive question?

What does this get me that gRPC + Protobuf to generate a Typescript client wouldn't?

Edit: Ah. I see, you can use Typescript to define the IDL vs. learning Protobuf, Smithy, ...

Not sure I would take the trade-off. I like having the option of using something other than Typescript for my back-end. The dev experience isn't compelling enough for me. Contract changes are not an area I iterate on so often that a small delay in re-generating the client from an IDL causes me to grab for this dependency.
Yeah, Spaniards pronouncing a lot of 's' and 'c' sounds as English 'th' or 'z' is called the ceceo, and it's commonly incorrectly attributed to Spaniards copying a prior king's lisp.

Specifically, sign languages are not visual representations of existing languages (e.g. ASL and English) but completely different languages altogether.
Who is "we all"? For instance, the US is 5% of the worlds population. What we call the west is 20% of the global population? Not even to a quarter of it. Most of the population is outside the west. And, within the west there are a number of topics that people don't agree on which are more base.

> But one of Van Hooser’s biggest pushes is to make the university’s invisible population feel seen. He encourages scientists to name animal workers in meeting posters and publications. He also invites researchers to visit animal facilities (their labs are often in a different part of campus) to explain the importance of their science.

This sounds grim that this is a big push. Scientists not even working on their own animals, leaving technicians to kill them without ever thanking the technician, and the technician never knowing why animals they feed and clean after for years suffer and die.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to train partners to use your name once they fall out of practice? It's like there is a negative reinforcement stimulus applied everytime they do use your name.

I noticed that my wife stopped using my name when it became more ambiguous as to who she was talking to because our kids are now older and conversations (really instructions and queries) are at the "adult content" level rather then "child content" level.

Retraining her will be challenging.

We don't tolerate that kind of commie-talk round these parts.
These are fair and valid points and I wish I had used more consideration in my attempt to convey the rhetorical usage. The proselytization component is probably a more significant reason behind the word choice than any other aspect of catechesis. I meant no offense to anyone of any faith.
The exact rate limit, to my understanding, is tuned by the moderators. So one of them presumably thought you were making some inflammatory comments and made a conscious choice to slow you down. Reach out to hn@ycombinator.com to find out more and make an appeal.
Yes, but human teachers can eventually come to understand why they made a mistake. And they probably are more able to communicate how confident they are in their answers. I think that's because human teachers have a mental model that they're working from. On the other hand, we have no idea if transformer models are working from anything like a "mental model."

Just because humans make mistakes (or even as many or more mistakes than machines) doesn't mean the nature or consequences of the mistakes are the same.
I don't but when it comes to pentests we only do them internally and not very often either.

I like keeping custom scripts and installed apps/python scripts because we'll usually need them again next time.

Of course if you do constant engagements to external clients cross contamination is a big risk but we don't have this concern.
There is being misinformed and making a mistake when reasoning. Then there is making s** up.

Most humans have the decency to not do the latter while AI (at the moment) freely makes up complete lies when it doesn't have the answer instead of just admitting it doesn't know.
I mentioned the same thing to my wife. Today, if you get stuck in some corner case of software, you can eventually reach a human who will observe the buggy behavior and get you unstuck. With this stuff… may we all never get caught in a buggy corner or edge case…

I'm thinking more from the point where your tax issue isn't resolved and you have no recourse at all, because the AI has final say.

Your cancer is undiagnosed because there is an issue with the AI. You can't get a second opinion, so just die in pain in your house and literally can never speak to a real medical professional. Or the AI can be automatically tuned to dismiss patients more readily as hospitals are getting a bit busy. I doubt it would have any moral objection to that.
Designing a new product can often be thought of like one of these puzzles. E.g. designing an "integrated" traffic system for a city that balances use by pedestrians, cyclists, cars, and trolleys.

They're covering their asses so they don't get sued for defamation.

If they say 'fraud', 'theft', 'lying' they are implying intent, which can be hard to prove (maybe they were just incompetent or mislead by someone else?).

A material weakness means there is a significant to the business (aka material) difference between what was written/reported, and what investigation found was true.

WHY that is doesn't matter for the purposes of clawing things back, and since they have solid proof of it, there you go.

Speculating on the reason or if a crime was committed until it's proven in a court of law is what gets high powered and highly paid attorneys excited, and the folks who are getting fired and the money clawed back can still afford those in spades even afterwards. Credit Suisse probably feels they already have enough problems.
>an inflection point where functionally all information is polluted by the possibility that it's completely hallucinated or built on something hallucinated.

Actually, that's always been the case. This isn't something new. For a while (since the start of the information age at least) we've been able to accept information presented by media, the Internet or any other source as correct and true simply because the bulk of it has been. That's not saying anything good about humanity, it's just that people don't bother to lie about most things because there's no advantage in doing so.

Between the time when language and writing began and the advent of the Internet, there was less information being passed around and a greater percentage of it was incorrect, false, or otherwise suspect than has been the case for the last 50 years. So, it was critical for everyone to question every piece of information they received, to filter what they accepted as truth from the garbage. There was still bias involved in choosing what to believe, but critical thinking was a routine part of everyone's day.

I think it's going to be making a comeback.
Ah, back when major sites would fail to a slashdotting and someone running freeBSD with a text-only site would survive just fine.
The big item is having no build step. With gRPC even no matter how fast your codegen is, it still needs to execute. With tRPC the return types from the routers are all automatically derived from whatever the mutations or queries return.

That was not what I was referring to in my comment.
This assertion is easily disproven by about five minutes of using even GPT3, and more quantitatively, by 4's documented results on standardized testing. I'm not sure what kinds of questions you are asking in order to make broad statements like "You can't get correct answers from an LLM for most things you'd want to ask it", but this is so far off base from both the research, the documentation, and my own experience that I think we're talking about two different things.

Please stop with the middlebrow dismissal, doubly so when the dismissals aren't even accurate.

I cant help but think when reading another paper with a "think of the diabetic masses" spin on it, how much pain an suffering could be avoided if as much focus was put on improving peoples nutrition at market scales.

We know now that highly refined carb and sugar based food that makes up 95% of what is sold in the west is pretty much singularly responsible for diabetes, and the more we learn about the effects of the clever substitutes we come up with like sweeteners the more we realise that these are as bad if not worse at increasing insulin resistance. We've created our own diabetes epidemic through technology, using the cost function of yield and profit for food processing, and it feels like we are reaching for technology to also treat the myriad symptoms instead of challenge that cost function to include human health.

I'm sure this technology has broad utility beyond diabetes, but people keep including it in every medical paper, maybe it's not really the authors focus.

[edit]

Judging by votes I seem to have offended people, to be clear I don't blame people for poor diets, and I don't blame diabetics for becoming diabetic, I blame industry. Of course if it's food industry people that I've offended then fuck you :) if other reasons, do explain.
Ounces can measure both volume and weight, depending on the context.

In this case, there's not enough context to tell, so the comment is total BS.

If they meant ounces (volume), then an ounce of gold would weigh more than an ounce of feathers, because gold is denser. If they meant ounces (weight), then an ounce of gold and an ounce of feathers weigh the same.

In this case in particular, it's because we all know that Silicon Valley is filled with Cryptocoin Bros and Libertarians.

Who all of a sudden, in less than 24 hours into a crisis, came crying to FDIC for a bailout on bank deposits of size $100+ Million.

You know, after telling millions of artists that AI is here to replace them and that government regulation is dumb. (Disruption of Taxis and Hotels through Uber and AirBnB, etc. Etc)

I'm not really an AI Luddite (I think ChatGPT is overrated and think that StableDiffusion is cool). But I understand that the Silicon Valley response to the public's concerns over AI, invasion of privacy, over-the-top Libertarian / antigovernment rants (see Cryptocoin Bros)... It is a delicious irony that it's this group begging for money.

Anyway, I agree with some of the political discussion points of the stereotypical Silicon Valley techbro, and I disagree with others. But I think everyone can agree that what happened this past weekend was completely against those political discussion points we've heard for the past decade.
My guess is that it varies according to the load. Another guess is that the gpt4 thread is draining right now. Disclaimer: just guesses.

I would hardly consider my previous experiences dealing with doctors, tax administrators, mortgage companies, or recruiters to be anything close to good models of what human interaction should look like. In fact all of these people might be close to the top of the list of the most unpleasant interactions I've ever had. I'm at least willing to see what it looks like when they adopt AI for communication.

> Fresh food preparation is a full time job.

No. Full stop.

Cooking steak and eating it with fresh veggies is one of the fastest meals you can imagine to prep. It probably feels more expensive to people, but when you actually compare the nutrient and protein profile, the steak+veggies will be a lot closer in price compared to carbohydrate junk food.

> The idea that you can work a full time job, have time to cook, clean and eat and also have enough money to buy ingredients that aren't sugar by another name is laughable.

I do this and also have time to play videogames and spend hours hiking with my dog (also cooking for my dog sometimes). It's hard, but not impossible. But then so are most things worth doing in life.
