Ask HN: Manage risks of AI usage in corporate environments
With the recent deluge of GPT and chatGPT enabled products recently, I am wondering how the regulated industries are managing their usage given the multitude of risks associated with them.
- Copyright
- Model risks
- Data and Privacy risks etc.

Also the embedding of these functionalities within the corporate products (SaaS) offerings is becoming a major issue,
One example being Outlook starting to ingest confidential content and potentially making it available to employees that may not be purview to such info.
Our organization has blocked the direct access to it, but given that its becoming so pervasive what are others doing in this scenario.
The analogy to this that I can think of would be similar to enabling safe cloud usage through use of CASB's like NetSkope, but not sure if any such tech for AI usage exists at the moment.
Hey Melingo, I noticed that you responded to a lot of different threads in this post. It seems like you are a bit dismissive of people's experiences using K8s. I have also run K8s at scale, and it is not easy, it is not out of the box in cloud providers. There are a ton of addons, knobs, and work that has to be doen to build a sustainable and "production ready" version of K8s (for my requirements) in AWS.

K8s is NOT easy, and I do not believe that in it's current form it is the pinnacle of deployment/orchestration technologies. I am waiting for what is next, because the pain that I have personally experienced around K8s that I know others are feeling as well does not make it a perfect solution for everything, and definitely not usable for others.

At the end of the day it's a tool, and it is sometimes difficult to work with.
Just like rocks become sand, these will erode into microplastics
Why is why the user experience of Apple Retail has gone downhill after he left and Steve Jobs passed away.

From CEO of Dixon, to CEO of Burberry and finally Apple veteran, Deirdre O'Brien. The improvement she made was like many of the recent Mac changes, reverting back to old design.
That's a great analogy which I will steal.
yes and they realized they were wrong when the witch would burn and die. because witches weren't supposed to be killed by being burnt
At current computing growth rates that is still decades away. These things require exabytes of compute to train.
Same people who run these kind of scams are often narcissistic. They are “so smart” they got away with the first crime, they believe they have a magic touch and can get away with anything.

Plus these are not the type of people who would enjoy being disconnected from high society, they need external validation.
If someone wants to have sex with you, for any reason other than you defrauding them or threatening to violate their rights, and someone else uses the threat of violence to prevent them from having sex with you, that violates both of your human rights, according to any definition of human rights grounded in bodily autonomy and free association.
I believe there's some disagreement if the Space Shuttle was intentionally built that way (though the eventual reality came close, but it may have been as much pragmatism and the usual procedures of government bid contracts), but it is definitely a common criticism of how Nasa's current Space Launch System (SLS) was planned and is being built. (It's a criticism also heavily negatively used when comparing, for instance, SpaceX projects over the same timeframes, especially by the sorts of people that think today's Nasa should be more in the business of buying and "leasing" commercialized rockets and capsules rather than building its own.)
Really interesting, I appreciate Neil writing more about the process and philosophy than simply "we are banning AI tools."

As these models improve, I'm skeptical that we'll be able to differentiate human-written works from an edited work generated by a skilled LLM operator. It's already trivial to generate fiction content that scores as "100% human" on analysis tools.

However, sci-fi short stories are a particularly interesting case - by their very nature they are about investigating uniquely human experiences by using speculation to amplify things humans think, feel, and experience. A machine can never do that wholesale. But, what about a machine in tandem with a human that is articulating how they feel, and a premise?
Is this something that a paper bag could solve for?
It was exactly like this for me as a kid in the 80s. Any time there was a screen it would grab my attention.

Of course we are talking about tube TV, something others in this thread are dismissing as not the same thing as smartphones.

I think the real reason is because it actually was the most interesting thing in the doctors waiting room. Does anyone really expect a dog-eared puzzle missing 40% of its pieces to hold a kids attention better than sesame street?
Maybe corrupt, but not corrupt enough to get excluded from entry into NATO.
What, you don't hand out free condoms in High school? I had to ask the school nurse, but we had them available in middle school. Weird moment, but the school nurse took a moment to explain basic stuff I didn't know at the time.
Definitely not a new thing, it always amazed me that people genuinely believe so, but I bet there are more witch-hunts thanks to the internet than ever and that is what makes it feel like it's a new phenomena. There's more, spreads way faster, always someone new to "cancel" or "protect".

Big parts of the internet are like constant reality tv dramas.
Technically, many small companies are corporations.
Doesn't that reinforce the parents' point that even a country with 1/10th the GDP and 10x more corruption, still manages to complete their subway projects 10x quicker at 1/10th the cost?

I don't think the explanation is that Russians are 10000x smarter than Americans, so it must be some environmental/organizational difference.
> My asshole-statement was manually calibrated, and it has the same abstract form and structure as a joke, but with the edge of that negative form. An LLM can do it at scale.

Right, so now we've dealt with the initial trolling and callout, and moved on from weird statements about art ..

> Someone using an AI model to produce those won't be doing it to improve human discourse and relations. That's the risk I think is worth addresing.

This I actually agree with. We're going to drown in automated trolling. Human discourse is going to get worse, which usually happens in ways that get people killed.
I have been using it for a while now, and it has been my go-to replacement for Docker. Additionally, I have Linux machines that allow me to test things that I can't on macOS. The product is excellent, and the CLI integration is phenomenal. I'm curious about the pricing scheme for this product.
Because it reduces food spoiling. Without some deeper research, it's not clear cut whether the benefits of plastic packaging reduction outweigh the costs of extra spoilage. IIRC analysis from Wageningen University suggested that they don't.
Definitely a PR move. But I figure it's about implying that the work isn't that hard and that the reasons for unionization are overblown. In other words, the work is easy so they don't need a raise. Some BS like that.
The anti-gmo/nuclear people have no explanation for how things can go wrong. The AI alignment people do. You might not agree with it, but tons of AI researchers, including many at openAI, do.

Microsoft Bing's CEO: Google Bard Is Pretty Far Behind Bing Chat
A "disconnection fee"? This has to be the most absurd charge I have ever heard of.

What does "disconnecting" a customer involve, anyway? I recall having to return equipment or face a penalty to cover costs (high, but still somewhat understandable), but I have never had to pay to get off a broadband contract.
This an interesting example because, due to the API being stateless, it cannot have any solution “in mind.” It’s going to reply as if someone else started the game and it’s taking their place for the current turn.

Even if it reasoned ideally, it has to check if your answer is consistent, and if it is, decide whether to let you win or to find another solution. If your answer is inconsistent, it effectively has to play wordle by thinking of another answer.

It doesn’t seem all that surprising that it didn’t figure it out.
Circumventing WTO rules by sanctioning countries and companies with the excuse of 'national security' is still a violation of the free trade principle and all the rules that a country has agreed to when it joined the WTO.

At this point, what the US is doing cant be seen as anything else but anti-competitive, protectionist practice and all WTO members would react accordingly.

This is not about the merits of free trade or protectionism. This is about the doublespeak that the US does. Many people dont know that even before this trade war, the US had 'import quotas' that limited the exports of even its closest allies to the US even as the US was incessantly forcing them to open their entire economy up to US companies without any restrictions.
I dont't get it. In the picture, each tile is composed of 8 identical quadrilaterals. So why don't these quadrilaterals constitute a simpler shape that can tile a wall and never repeat?
Thanks, that's great to hear!

1) Yes, we plan to build SDKs in more languages. But you can still use the GraphQL endpoint today from any language / codebase with type-safety using GraphQL codegen tools.

2) Yes, the language is powerful enough for basic code and it sounds like your use case will work. We made the language total for safety reasons so you don't end up with any accidental infinite loops. It's actually pretty simple for us to make the language Turing-complete — we'd just need to allow recursive functions.

It'd be great to jump on a call to discuss your use case more! You can email me at miraan at hypertune.com or click the book demo link on the home page.
If they’re doing “deep thinking” about work then it’s literally work. The clock doesn’t stop just because you’re not typing.

Also, many of these positions are salaried so they aren’t actively tracking hours.
Is a miscarriage murder under this definition? Makes doing anything strenuous or athletic for women if it is.
I agree, give Rick's course a try, with an emphasis on ear training. I think ear training is much more important than music theory. You'll learn theory along the way (intervals, chord quality, etc...) but it focuses more on hearing the difference. Most of music making is hearing a song and playing it back, or hearing a melody in your head and getting it into a daw in some way, music theory alone won't teach you that. Ear training will though!
Is it possible that it is resuming from standby prior to hibernation which is causing this?
Maybe, but Penrose himself was involved, so I'd be very bummed if that were true.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) has received approval from Dr. Roger Penrose, the eminent British mathematical physicist, to incorporate his groundbreaking geometrical pattern in the design of the exterior walls of the future Transbay Transit Center (TTC) designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects (PCPA). Dr. Penrose and PCPA are working in tandem to incorporate Dr. Penrose’s elegant design, known as the Penrose Rhombus Tiling, in the skin of the TTC. The design is remarkably simple but unique because it can be extended infinitely without repeating itself. The Penrose system is ideal for the perforations in the metal panels that will form the curved exterior of the Transit Center.

It was actually a technical feedback.
I mean to be fair, if you’re going to do a Ponzi, you better make sure it pays you at least a billion dollars because you are definitely going to (a) be unable to access some probably very large portion of it, and (b) have to go completely off the grid. If your Ponzi pays out like 100k, you’re going straight to jail.
In his defense shoppers wanting stuff to appear to be on sale is pretty dumb.
Honestly, I was mostly bluffing... I didn't have time to do all of that, which is why I also had to quit the gym. I was planning to temporarily quit/suspend and then rejoin when I was able to, but they lost out on that possibility.

I think these kind of predatory cancellation things must be in part a generational thing, and these policies are so old they haven't responded to the times. Older people I know seem to expect it or be okay with it, but millenials and younger will tend to be outraged and refuse to do business with them on principle. America Online, Sirius XM, etc. were able to retain some customers by making it hard to quit, but I think turned away far more without realizing it.
People talk about the benefits of a functional architecture with UIs and how I guess you can see it as a data stream where FP helps think about things, but surely Smalltalk-style OO with messages would be the best way to represent something that both requires a lot of back-and-forth but also widget state? Are there any OO-style web frameworks that are popular nowadays?
This was a really interesting takeaway:

Suppose COVID-19 produces a lasting COVID-19 personality disorder due to anatomical damage of the orbitofrontal cortex created by SARS-CoV-2 infection. In that case, those segments of the population that shun public health interventions and aggressively seek to stop general health measures may be entering into a vicious cycle of decline. As repeated infections occur, damage to the brain increases, resulting in decreased emotional control and increased aggression.

It's like the literal opposite of "woke mind disease" except, unlike the former, it may actually be real.
One of my mom's credentials is a degree in early childhood development.

She and her peers from that life were pretty set (since the mid-70's) that putting children younger than 12 or so in front of 'screen media' had negative affects on social and cognitive development.

The rationale, as far as I understood it, is that young kids are voracious learners and screen media at it's best is a shallow and hyper focused projection of the day-to-day reality experienced by humans.

Thus, any time spent on screen media equates to lost training time/data which is always a negative if you are trying to build a general purpose human being.

Books which required effort to comprehend were fine, but interaction with peers, older humans and the outside world was preferable to all else.

EEG readings to prove things about executive function may suck, but the conclusion still seems somewhat intuitive.

Wrong country to hide. Montenegro is a Nato member, and a US ally, and will do whatever the US say.

Dritan Abazovic (the prime minister) is himself half Albanian, half Montenegrin, and he is very pro western. You can't hide in pro US countries.

He should have maybe taken a train to Serbia (not a US ally), then a plane to Russia and hide there.

Ps. For some reason criminals think small countries are safe, but capturing criminals like this, that are most wanted by the US, is a huge political win for the small countries, (brownie points with the US) and they will do whatever it takes to get them.

Best countries to hide are larger countries that are not fully US aligned (think Brazil), or US hostile (Russia, etc)
Win32 evolved fill a certain ecological niche millions of years ago, and it's only going away if that niche does or if something manages to fill it better.
> the whole point of crypto is that it's easy to hide.

This couldn't be further from the truth and shows how the majority of people do not understand the benefits that crypto offers.
pricing stuff, metrics stuff, customer flow changes. Real day-to-day stuff.

One of the ones I personally witnessed related to the services that salespeople were expected to sell along with the computers. There was some kerfuffle going on about stores not meeting the expected "attach rates". He spent a whole day selling computers, and could not meet the expected attach rates himself. Couple weeks after that changes to pricing and program benefits were announced. I later learned that the need for changes had become a very high priority the same day as his visit.
No because a lot of microplastics start out as larger pieces that degrade over time

In this case, that heuristic doesn't pass the "did you even read the article" test. The article says, repeatedly and thoroughly, the exact opposite.

Yea great point. If everything about the reality of the story was completely different; then the argument would make sense.
That sounds like a lot of work to me. Whether it is good for society is an entirely separate question.
>the land will change FEET in elevation from year to year

As far as I am aware that is not natural, people are pumping water out of the ground fast enough to make the of elevation change. If it were naturally occurring it would take hundreds of years of drought to do that.
I think it's harder to have a cohesive stylized artstyle when you are trying to parallelize your art across 10s to 100s of laborers. It's a natural result of gamedev via org chart.

AAA isn't a value marker. It's a shame every time I see discussions of gamedev it's always "but can you do AAA with this library?" Who cares!

Ever noticed how physicists were all the rage in late 2000's, but now not so much? seems like the world has stopped caring about elementary particles.
No, I don't for that setup. Trying to deploy K8S across what was a hybrid deployment across four countries and on prem, colo, managed services, and VMs would've been far.more effort than our custom system was (and the hw complexity was dictated by cost - running on AWS would've bankrupted that company)
I was also wondering along the same lines as an everything except for windows developer so it’s not just you. It would be good if someone could clarify.
> still continuing with only 12.7 miles in operation

No, 23.7 miles are in operation. 12.7 miles is the amount that opened in the first stage in 2002.

Washington DC has a population greater than the whole of Denmark, and the DC metro was opened decades ago, so I don't think it's a useful comparison.
Given the discourse around chatgpt (3) seems questionable, or at least not general.
Genuinely the US would do better if it had paper elections with a handcount with observers. The system works in the UK just fine. Unfortunately, there's a category of people in both the US and Nigeria who use "election interference" to mean "accurately counting the votes".

Classic slacker news with all the negativity.

This is incredible, wow! Stuff like this is why I got into tech in the first place, indistinguishable from magic.
I was going to write a witty intellectual comment about capitalism at work but with further reflection it needs to come from "both sides".

The economically disadvantage use plastic in their everyday life and an arbitrary tax on it would negatively effect them and make their lives harder.

At the same time they can see through the income gap that those who could afford an increase of plastic still shit all over the environment and would further lead to a divide in the issue.

The most recent example of this is people complaining about plastic straws whilst private jet use in unabated.
It's great you've taken an interest, but crypto has been around for much longer than 2017 and the lunacy traces back way further.
Today I recieved this response from Namecheap support, confirming that my account had unauthorized access to a domain after it was sold in the marketplace:

---

I can see that the domain you mentioned is still shared and can be managed by your account, even though it was sold via our Marketplace.
It will take a while to investigate the case properly and fix the bug.

I'll ask the team to keep you updated on the progress. As for the domain itself, due to security reasons, we'll need to revoke your access to it.

---

Anyone who has bought a domain through the "sell domain" feature - you should immediately check for unauthorized access to your domain(s).

As a self-admitted lousy musician and marginal-at-best amateur filmmaker, the last two decades of technological progress have unleashed a veritable Disneyland of capability I can access anytime 24/7. As amazing as the tools are, the ability to collaborate with other amateurs around the world and to instantly publish content to a global audience with no gatekeepers is equally transformative.

Perhaps I appreciate just how much we live in "the golden age" of personal creativity because I'm >50 yrs old and lived through saving from each paycheck to afford renting a high-quality camera for a day or an edit suite for a few hours (only between 12a-6a for the reduced rate). I'll just come out and say it, "Kids these days have no idea how amazing their world is." Now, excuse me while I go outside to yell at some clouds...
According to this guy's testimony 60% of TikTok is foreign investor owned and those foreign investors would very much sell it off before just setting fire to their money.
Maybe, I think in general though, this falls into uncanny valley territory.

Humans like patterns or randomness, we sort of hate quasi-versions of either (See: our disdain for blurry pictures).
I disagree and think that's a bleak and depressing assertion that shows your bias.

Probably depends on how you use recipes. If you prop the book up next to your work and don't want to worry about getting it messy, you'd want to buy it. If you tend to use one or two recipes per book, and copy them out and make notes and changes, you'd be happy borrowing the book for a bit.
This tile forces a pattern that does not repeat. If you use the simpler shape you can tile a wall such that it never repeats, but you can also make a repeating pattern.

Largely, no they don't. Most models I've seen (including, the usual whipping boy Tesla) do not have any haptic feedback on their touch screens. Noises when clicking something is more common, though.
I’m guessing you probably won’t win a chargeback unless you can show that you sent them a letter telling them to cancel (and because of this, they actually will cancel if you send them a letter).

I think another aspect of this problem is that credit cards don’t just let you mark a transaction as “don’t allow any more of these.” Of course that probably wouldn’t solve the problem. The gyms would probably just continue charging you and eventually send you to debt collection.
