1) I don't think this is an apt analogy. The GPT danger argued here is less a "GPT missile gap" one, and more of a "Skynet / HorizonZeroDawn" one. Openness makes the latter scenario less likely.

2) There's a big difference between commercial and academic research, particularly in terms of incentives (though the gap has narrowed significantly in recent years). But, research is rarely "disney villain" material to be stamped anyway; good research can be used for evil and vice versa. But at least in academia you're supposed to have ethics committees and academic standards to uphold.

3) I dont accept this argument. It has a very "ban encryption / think of the children" vibe to me. The idea that openness makes the life of spammers ever-so-slightly easier and therefore we should not have openness is bizzare. Spammers will spam regardless, and spamming tools being proprietary isn't exactly a deterrant. The only thing you lose by blocking openness is ... well, openness.
Someone suggested here on HN that many well-known crypto players may actually be under US indictment, but prosecutors are careful to not announce them unless they’re sure of getting hold of the violators.

It rings true here. Do Kwon was arrested barely two days ago and charges were unveiled immediately. Maybe that’s why Changpeng Zhao (of Binance) will never visit the US, lol

I mean you're kind of setting the parameters with hindsight here. On paper alphanumeric was always known to be more secure. But there was a very long time where there was no way that your run of the mill thief was going to get the equivalent of a GreyKey and break into your pin protected, activation locked iPhone 7 by hopping on AliExpress...

I agree a run of the mill burglar wouldn't have the foresight to sit on your phone for years and years, since the value of breaking in probably diminishes almost immediately as you get a new phone, Wallet deactivates, etc. but it's not a reach to imagine that in a few years we'll see the equivalent of the current Cellebrite tech become widely available.

I believe I understand what you're saying, but I feel we're talking about different things, so I may have miscommunicated my point. I'm not talking about ownership as recognized or enforced by people (in fact, I never used the word "own" or "ownership"). All I mean is that if something is over here by me, it can't be over there by you, because things can't be in two places at once.

On the other hand, the exact same spatial arrangement can be in two places at once (e.g. the state of bits on a disk, or the idea of a shovel, i.e. the pattern of a shovel as exemplified by two distinct shovels).

All of that's obvious. I think what OP was trying to suggest is:

Despite the obvious difference between physical things and ideas, we often treat them similarly (specifically, we treat ideas like physical objects). And perhaps that would seem a bit strange if we weren't so used to it.
That's debatable. Glass-Steagall wouldn't have prevented CDOs, but Glass-Steagall's repeal paved way for previously illegal mergers and acquisitions between commercial banks and investment banks. Had these mergers not had been allowed, it is debatable banks would have been "too big to fail", and the entire system wouldn't have been so susceptible to collapse.
There’s nothing inherently wrong about an initial free period for a product. In many cases it’s a rational launch strategy.

On the other hand, it’s both irrational and incredibly entitled to expect that anything anyone ever gives you for free will be available for free in unlimited quantities, in perpetuity.

Stripe's ACH Limits Are Idiotic – Need Help (or Pile On)
TLDR: does anyone know how to get Stripe to raise ACH transaction limits on your account?

I run a registered charity and our account is through Stripe. We accept donations from the public, which means that donors can set the price of their generous donations. I have had a Stripe account for 1.5 years and have so far processed hundreds of payments successfully.

However - I have had a total of 2 disputed charges. One was just a misunderstanding by a customer and that dispute was resolved in our favor. The other dispute we just lost (we don't know why it was ever disputed). Both disputes were for donations of only $50.

We have many donors that try to give large donations via ACH because the transaction fees for ACH are much lower than cards. Makes sense. However, Stripe is refusing to raise our ACH limits (currently at $6k per ACH transaction and a total of $10k per week) because we have had 2 disputes. Even the dispute ruled in our favor counts as a strike against us! This is 100% a barrier to our philanthropic growth. And we are quite literally raising money for a registered 501(c)(3) charity!

I have repeatedly asked the Stripe support team to raise our ACH limits. They wont, and cite a (dumb as hell) rule where there needs to be a ratio of under 0.2% of your transactions (that number is 0.002) before your account can be eligible to raise the ACH limit. EVEN in cases where donors personally reach out to me, and I know them, and ask Stripe to make a 1 time exception to allow a larger ACH transaction for our CHARITY - they still deny it. EVEN when I offer up collateral just in case there is possibly a large disputed transaction in the future - they still deny the request. Frustrating is a gd understatement.

I don't know what to do and wanted to ask if anyone else in this community has been able to get around this. It's crazy how if someone just wanted to ruin a charity's ability to fundraise from large donors thru Stripe, they could just dispute a few of their small donations (theoretically). It sucks and is a bad rule. Thanks.
Regarding the graveyard - just looking around my office I see a variety of Khadas products that are essentially useless. I have a RockPi 4-something running Armbian that is one `apt-get full-upgrade` away from not booting (has happened before) that already has extremely temperamental video and NVMe (the selling point). A few Odroid boards that fall somewhere in between... Plus a few random generics that are long forgotten and not even worth mentioning.

Yes, ideally support hits mainline. However, in practice between Linux mainline, things like Mesa for video, etc it just doesn't happen and trying to sell/tell people otherwise is disingenuous at best.

I agree there is significant value in the comfort of Linux but WRT to ESP32 I would argue the Arduino/PlatformIO ecosystem around them is actually second to the Raspberry Pi in terms of community support. There are "ready to go plug these variables in" examples for nearly anything you want to do that the hardware is capable of floating around everywhere on the internet. You can buy "ESP32 Cams" with TF Lite object detection from Amazon[0].

Also, not to be argumentative but the Kirkwood SheevaPlug line (I was early on that too) is the ARM equivalent of a truly embedded Intel Core something that no one dare touches if it's still running (it's USB 2).

Somewhat strange thing is I've worked on "commercial" embedded projects with things like the iMX line and Yocto - and the support there is pretty incredible.

Not really. Why would China want to give their leading edge software for free to countries like India, Brazil etc which may use it to build their own chips when they could get these countries to buy the chips from China?
within reason of course. it's a position of privilege, but that position used to below to the UK. they lost that position over/after the world wars, and we got it. it is possible that doing whatever we want could push people to the euro as the reserve or the pound. it seems far fetched, but I could see a world where the euro the the world's reserve currency

I have more experience with thinkpads, so yes ofc!

First please read my windows guide on csdvrx.github.io: it's very generic and should get you a baseline in Windows

Then get at least a week worth of measurements over long periods of sleep (like at night, reboot on windows) as a baseline

Then tell me how it compares to what you get on Linux after enabling everythig with powertop tunables and we'll work from there, as it'll be more precise than powertop.

Just send that by email at my outlook address. Includes the discharge line plot from Windows sleepstudy you find the more relevant, and a dmesg from linux

FYI, without wifi, on my thinkpad recently installed to Arch I measure 3.6W in powertop but I think it needs a recalibration as I measure 2W on a USBC power meter when idling with wifi enabled and a full wayland desktop (edge, etc)
Maybe because rightists aren’t interested in science?
I suspect there's an interesting story why the online sale of "Industrial waste disposal and garbage disposal devices" is forbidden specifically in Japan.
I use it for coding, with mixed results, for getting me going in the right direction.

I take everything it says with a grain of salt. Through some original queries about some people, I came to realize that a GPT is a stochastic parrot optimized for plausibility. Given a Venn diagram of plausible and reality, they have a large overlap. Our ideas of plausibility are informed by common repetitive observations of reality. So GPTs almost always sound truthful, and much of what they generate overlaps with truth; sometimes it does some interesting synthesizing.

For code hints in particular, which I hit it up for 2 or 3 times a day on whim, I find that the domain matters. Asking for how to do things in Jetpack Compose, I get all kinds of weird answers. Compose is a highly volatile space, GPT will synthesize function signature that are amalgamations with 3 year old stuff and newer. It helps refine my internet searches. Thank heavens for the kotlin/compose slack channels.

When I ask GPT for mainstream Python stuff, it does pretty well. Recently asking for help with parsing ical formats, it nailed a number of questions. As I moved into handling recurring events, it started getting weirder. It wrote plausible looking code with methods that didn’t exist but were hybrids of others. It missed letting me know there was a library specifically for recurring iCal events. When it came to dealing with isoweeks and timezones, it got all the right modules and functions, but put them together in weird ways. Like a blind person assembling a puzzle.

C code it does decently well. Elixir, it struggles with. Many of its elixir answers are very dated.

By and all, I treat it as a way of generating prompts/idea for me to pursue. It’s like having an eidetic four year old at your disposal whose read all of the code ever and can mention all kinds of things from association, but doesn’t really know. Or like interviewing someone who’s crammed on a subject, but hasn’t really experienced what they’re talking about.
Your claim was that bleach doesn't kill MRSA at normal cleaning concentrations. It clearly does because bleach is rated to kill MRSA by the EPA. You are trying to weasel out of it by claiming that people aren't using it correctly, but that doesn't make it not kill MRSA.

People who refuse to concede gracefully are insufferable.
There is, but not one imposed by the laws of physics or some universal given. ]

For example it was moral and ethical (and you were considered a good person regardless of whether you did it) to own slaves when that was the prevalent morality of a societies.

So, there are actions that are unethical based on made up human constructs of morality. Nature and physics doesn't care either way.

Which is the parent's point: what laws and ethical norms aren't "unnatural" and aren't made up? All are. Doesn't mean they are not useful and good for being that.

> A Markov chain or Markov process is a stochastic model describing a sequence of possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the state attained in the previous event.

vs

> An attention mechanism allows the modelling of dependencies without regard for the distance in either input or output sequences.

See the difference? In Markov Chains it is enough to know the previous state, while in transformers you need all previous states. It would be a great thing if we could reduce dependency of all previous states, like an RNN, maybe RWKV will do it.

It doesn’t matter who pays for it, in the statistics it appears that an appendicitis generates much more economic activity in the USA than EU.

Healthcare spending per capita in the USA is 12K, the second most expensive is Germany and it’s 7K.

The life expectancy in Germany is 82 and in the USA is 77, so it’s not the case that Americans are getting much better one, explaining the higher costs.

Oh and that appendicitis? It kills much more Americans than Germans(0.08 vs 0.06 per 100K).

It’s kind of true that idea of IP is entirely made-up, but it’s also important to recognize that it was made up to support and safeguard author’s living.

IP allows authors to require values of content to be preserved, recognized, and financially rewarded(in one-time or recurring payments).

In the absence of IP, printing companies can take manuscripts and contents to profit off of copies free-for-all style, bankrupting manuscript writers.

However, it was NOT designed to protect interest of multinational megacorporates, causing individual contributors to be ignored and paid for presence in its making than input in the product; such use of IP is basically a polar opposite of its intent.

We should stop allowing corporates to take ownership of IPs.

J.K. Rowling enjoying her life is fine, that is intellectual property as intended. “(C)Disney” or “(C)2023 Electronic Arts. All Rights Reserved.” is not. Those latter cases is how and where IP laws are not working as intended.

I'm fast learning Django and even though it's an extremely well documented space, ChatGPT has sent me down the wrong path more than a handful of times.

This is especially difficult because I don't know when it's wrong and it's so damn confident. I've gotten better at questioning its correctness when the code doesn't perform as expected but initially it cost me upwards of 30min per time.

Still, I would say between ChatGPT and Copilot - I'm WAY further ahead.

I think this is the missing part of the conversation. Musks' 2:30 AM nasty-gram emails... Apple starting to pick up the whip...

Companys keep having RTO policies. They keep escallating the pissy nastygrams & unspecific threats. But even when it's merely 2-3 days a week, people just don't show up.

We've had "quiet quitting" but this isn't quitting... it's a different resistance. And I think these RTO plans are going to keep crashing into oblivion. The tide has turned. This long-standing norm of being in-office all the time is dead, and no one has figured out a single useful carrot to dangle to get us back. Often the RTO is worse situations than when we left office.

This following rant is just me off-gassing & only semi-related. Our own company recently announced an upscaled RTO. As a city-dweller, it's a nearly 90m commute out to the suburbs (one way) via light-rail, after they closed our in-city office that was a 5m bike ride away. These fucking clowns don't give a rats ass & don't think for a second about the asymmetry of their ask. To them, it's like, oh, you're within 30 miles, this can't be a real burden on anyone. Because they're a bunch of out of touch suburban wankers who drive everywhere, with not the faintest fuck-all clue of how other folks live. To them, it's: 2 days, that's not bad.

But even 1 day is almost 2x the entire weekly commute I had, and by awful & expensive metro-rail versus a delightful on bicycle ride. To an awful business park, versus being inside a great city.

The people asking for RTO are useless. The asks are all hidden anonymous shitty figures. The workers, I hope, just don't do it. I've been doing 1 day a week, with the nod from my managers to just quietly subtract commute time from my work-day-hours. The clowns "in charge" realized no one had any respect for the RTO, & eventually realized tons of people just didn't show up. So now they're starting to tell the managers they have to keep attendance, that there's gonna be some real policing. But frankly it's the managers who skip the most. Tons of people have filed for exemptions for various reasons & fought to get exempted, but another 70% just don't show up reliably. And these companies are powerless to change that. Good luck threatening your actions, chums.

Even the highest tech company on the planet- perhaps especially the highest tech company on the planet- is going to have a hard as fuck time actually making the threat real, is going to keep looking like idiots. There's just no cause. There's no carrot, no sales-pitch why, no belief it's useful, and no threat imaginable that can actually scare compliance. This is a huge story, and I greatly look forward to the once-almighty power-structure being ongoingly roundly ignored. The old corporate hierarchy of control is dead, ring a ding a ding dong.
It might, as history has cycles.

But not because it will be replaced with something "better". Democracy just means everybody has a say on decisions affecting them and the society they are in.

If your replacement is closer to "only informed people should have a say", that is even older then democracy, and is much worse in practice.

Note: I tried with GPT-3.5 and it doesn't respond with all the same APIs available. That said, if you want to try the above... It appears that the rates api isn't available in 3.5 but if you follow the example through.... it will still produce nearly identical code for the rates API even though it doesn't say that it is there.

It kinda depends on scale doesn't it? For an individual 250k in cash seems like a lot (although can easily happen just before or just after a large purchase.)

For even a "small" business though it's quite small. We're small (<50 employees) but payroll is around 1.5m per month. We keep about 2m as "working capital". This is cash that is literally flowing all the time.

In this context 250k is tiny, and wouldn't cover our day to day balance.
I wasn't worried about this until Chase Bank felt the need to publish "Reasons the crisis isn't a repeat of 2008"
The point being made here is that because there are millions of users forced to change keys now all at around the same time, and because they are doing so due to seeing an error in Git, this creates a good opportunity to strike. Normally, most users would have connected to GitHub before and a MITM attack has a high chance of failure.

> I suspect there's an interesting story why the online sale of "Industrial waste disposal and garbage disposal devices" is forbidden specifically in Japan.

Japan is known for its strict environmental regulations and policies.

Ask any Japanese national about their garbage/recycling procedures and you’ll understand.

I assume the online sale of industrial waste disposal and garbage disposal devices is prohibited in Japan because the government want to closely monitor the disposal of industrial waste and garbage to ensure that it is being handled properly and safely. By restricting the sale of these devices to only authorized dealers or distributors, the government can have more control over who has access to these devices and can ensure that they are being used correctly.
At a certain point in my life, I came to the conclusion that if something is important enough, it generally pays to: (1) either research the matter myself until I was satisfied that I understood the cost/risk tradeoff sufficiently; or (2) if I don't have the time or skills to do that, have the matter reviewed professionally. Both of which are alternatives to "doing nothing".

Employment or other contracts, health decisions, taxes ... that's how I roll.

That's just me, and I'm not you. It may also just be a hobby project or otherwise of negligible consequence. In which case it would seem to fall under the rubric of what generative AI is arguably suitable ("better than nothing").
Well, there sort of is a linear relationship between the ammount of training data and the quality of the model [1]
