Thanks for sharing! Looks great, care to share your thoughts on the model decisions in the models.py file. I assume you have a take on the speed vs storage costs vs relevance quality (and/or licensing) of these models vs others here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mteb/leaderboard and here: https://www.sbert.net/docs/pretrained_models.html:

This is much better than the leakage article by the same authors, where they went on for ever without stopping to explain what "leakage" is. To this day, I have no idea what, exactly, they meant. Reading their article now, I see that they say leakage is "roughly the same as contamination".

- No, the government and politicians don't use the same reporting functionality as us plebes, they e-mail Twitter Safety directly, as revealed by the Twitter Files.

- When the government (with their regulatory powers, monopoly on legitimate violence, etc) asks a private company to do something, the coercion is implicit. Just like if a heavily armed thug looms over you and asks, in a threatening tone of voice, for your wallet—the "or else" doesn't need to be aired out loud.
The uppermost comment in this thread is making the suggestion to use server-side filtering just in case something goes wrong with end-user software. So that's why other commenters were using this assumption and ignoring the software itself.

Campaign donations are not even necessary to introduce bias. The TikTok userbase skews heavily democratic and democrat candidates use it for campaigning far more effectively than republican candidates. So there is already some anti-TikTok bias simply by party affiliation.
> It's much easier to type multiple lines of equations, with the equation signs aligned, in LaTeX than in Word.

I actually disagree. The equation editor in word is really quite good (if a little laggy sometimes), once you learn the shortcuts. Being able to see your fractions laid out properly is a massive productivity boost, and makes it much easier to quickly find the part you want to edit. The dealbreaker for me is the lack of equation numbering, without doing quite a few hacks.

Personally, I'd still take the LyX math editor over Word though, for the macros and better performance.

They're not being vague - they're saying a specific issue named "acropalypse" applies.

Originally acropalypse was a specific library, but the bug itself is "saving data over an existing file does not replace the existing file".

> only if you do the strange "overwrite existing file" thing the OP did

Overwriting an existing file is literally the most common case: it's what happens when you say "save" instead of "save as...".
> shitty, partial, divorced-from-scholarship-and-history version of that POV

Does "scholarship and history" mean "the Howard Zinn view of history?" Yeah, I can understand why some people would be sad that that's not taught in Texas and everywhere. Although as far as I can tell, it IS taught in many blue counties.

> I'm just skeptical that we were ever a ton better off in terms of, specifically, news media honesty and integrity than we are now

I think I've already dealt with that, including a proposal on how we'd test that. Just saying, "no, it was never any better" is otherwise untestable.

Salaries of government employees and public officials are already dictated by laws in most countries, so this isn't like it is some sort of new area of legislation that doesn't have decades of legislation and case law for reference.
To me? No, it looks wrong, but not really disturbing.

Which is why I asked the question - maybe I’m lacking awareness of a particular piece of American culture which should make me disturbed?
oh I had never heard it was an explicit strategy, I thought it sort of happened by accident. good to know
It's completely different.

I'm not going to generalize to anyone else, but for me:

- Casual sex is psychologically harmful.

- Regular sex with e.g. a spouse is healthy.

I find that it (1) Builds a close emotional bond. Conflicts don't seem so important. (2) Emotionally stabilizes me and makes stress go away.

As well as a number of additional positive effects. The older I grow, the more I agree with conservative, traditional cultures about sex: One lifetime partner is ideal. A small number or zero is okay. A large number is bad.

I'll mention: I'm not drifting conservative overall. Some places, I'm to the left of the left, some to the right of the right, some off-axis, and some at the center.

Of course that doesn't guarantee anything nowadays, but that's about all we have nowadays. Just about anything can be faked online now, from pictures to video to audio to text.
In what sense is any of that “conservative”?

(I mean, my intuition would be, for example, that it means more software engineers, and disproportionately even more PMs -- though probably often with a different title -- as it expabds the market for software solutions, and reduces the engineering effort to product decision ratio. But that’s not conservative, any more than your catastrophizing is.)

> Smartphone cameras work pretty well outdoors where there is enough light. DSLR and mirroless are hard to beat indoors in low light conditions.

I was sightseeing in the night and had my Nikon D7100 (crop sensor) with a good lens (up to f/1.8 iirc) and Samsung Galaxy S8+. After the first few shots, I put the dslr back to my backpack, the photos from the phone were much better. And that’s a pretty old smartphone!

I know newer Sonys have crazy ISO, also own a fullframe, but it’s just so easy to mess some setting up and end up with crappy photo from a dslr in those challenging conditions, and I’m no beginner when it comes to dslrs.

It applies if you choose to "overwrite" any file that is larger than the generated PNG data.

Count me as directly opposed to this point of view. I've read all the news reports about the imaginary threat from TikTok. It's entirely conjecture and "Red Scaremongering" that happens every time the US faces a new global competitor. There are absolutely no facts underlying this hysteria. Let's assume TikTok is an arm of China's military. What can they do? Get info and track people; they could buy this information from data brokers right now. Influence people via social media; they have already done this on Facebook, Reddit et.al. Ban/favor content regarding China; no different from Facebook/YouTube inadvertently pumping QAnon content. Either legislate all social media (which I'm against fyi) or none, but selectively hitting TikTok feeds Chinese propaganda that the West is out to get them.

As a semi-libertarian I'm suspicious of governments - certainly the inept idiots in US Congress now - setting limits on the Internet. My TikTok feed is exclusively silly pet videos. It is was you make of it. If some people are watching political content or hate speech or Ponzi adverts, that seems fine in a free country.

I’m American. I don’t have to be a slave to nationalism. I have agency. You are gaslighting by making up stuff like “if you’re not with us you’re against us”. The whole reason that’s a saying is because we know that’s not actually true. That’s a naive way of looking at the world.

I’m not a globalist, so that’s irrelevant to me.

The point is that if you view them as anything other than an economic relationship, you'll be emotionally spurned by layoffs like this article alludes to. Also, the economic relationship is between that of employee and employer, not as much about relationships between co-workers.

>I think we'll be seeing AI-driven scammers, calling and messaging us, almost incessantly, I think we'll be seeing AI-generated political manipulation, like fake videos and audio, of politicians and public figures, I think we'll be seeing AI-driven promotional campaigns, and almost undetectably subtle media manipulation, like corporations seeding news stories with their talking points. I also think that we'll be seeing AI-driven workplaces, where it will be hard to be simply human, and AI-driven surveillance, by authoritarian regimes (and people right here, will happily sell it to them).

I've been having similar concerns, however, I just wanted to note in this paragraph there is not a damn thing you've listed here that isn't already being done right now without ai. We already get scammed incessantly. Every political message we receive is meant for manipulation versus actual understanding. Corporations have been seeding news stories since there was ever news stories. We have corporate cultures that routinely dehumanize us, forcing us to be sedentary indoors, when we ought to be foraging during the daylight if we actually lived according to our biology. we surveille eachother, and have no need of any advanced technology to oppress ourselves by the millions with brutal effectiveness. If you are concerned now, then you must not have been paying much attention. If you have issues with these things, then ai is not what you need to be going after, this is how the world is incentivized to run.
Yes exactly, unfortunately people don’t understand this.
The bastard operator from hell strikes again.
The core allegation against Manafort in the Mueller report is that he was paying debts back to the Russian billionaire who bankrolled his life [this is undisputed, the tens of millions of dollars in unreported income came directly from Deripaska] by having clandestine meetings with an associate of Deripaska's, Konstantin Kilminik [This is also undisputed, they met regularly including at the famous cigar bar in NYC], where Manafort passed confidential campaign data to Kilminik [also undisputed] which Kilminik then shared with Deripaska.

Perhaps the 'shared with Deripaska' part is disputed? But I don't even think that is.. again, what specific corroboration are you looking for?

Is your contention that Trump's campaign manager, who was twice convicted of laundering tens of millions of dollars for a Russian billionaire, and who admitted to providing confidential campaign information to that same billionaire via a cutout, needs to be convicted of some specific crime related to that before we believe all of their admissions?

Read the Mueller report! Or the Senate report! They are very detailed and highlight exactly where they have unanswered questions. None of their questions involve Manafort's behavior or intentions.

Two years ago it would have been considered “too high level” for an AI to produce art. “It’s just a sophisticated collage” is what some comments would say about Dall.e. Now we are realising that a human’s ability to create art isn’t actually all that special and can be reduced to a model.

A year ago it would have been considered too high level for an AI to provide insightful feedback on the themes contained in the draft of a script, but here we are again.

Every comment here is words strung together, and we are going to realise that we were the ones bullshitting all along. AI will expose that our high levelled reasoning (and who knows what else) is not particularly special.
> If an author's personal political and morality views change your enjoyment of books you'd only be able to read things from the last decade.

Not necessarily enjoyment, but they definitely change my perspective on the books. I read them, I sometimes love them, but I read them differently knowing what I do about the author. I don't need or want to agree with every view an author has. But I do want to read their writing in context, including historical context. You should still read Ender's Game, and you can definitely still like it (I know I do!).

> homosexuality didn't even really come up in Ender's Game

Yeah, that's fair. Lots of adjacent things did though: masculinity, sexuality, and violence in that context (for example, in the shower fight scene). I think his views on homosexuality are reflected in how he addresses those topics, even though it's not the main idea of the book. So yes: tinged. Not ruined, or unreadable, or canceled. But definitely there.

For my part (phd in computational linguistics, first classical „AI“, then machine learning, then deep learning since 2014, not working on NLP for the past 5 years) - I thought I would know a thing or two about what‘s possible, and I am still in absolute awe what these models spit out.

People might not be aware that just a few years ago formulating a grammatically correct sentence was a hard problem, let alone all the other things that once had names (anaphora resolution, semantics, pragmatics etc. etc.) and conference tracks and workshops dedicated to them. All that swept away by data and scalable transformer models. It is such a f*cking miracle.

I would be curious what the state of understanding these models is. Haven‘t done any literature review on this but just reverse engineering whatever structure the model has come about could be enlightning (perhaps).
That is, these companies are largely not doing the hard part, which is creating and training these models in the first place.

No, there is no real "hard part" to AI current. Training is simply "the expensive part".

It seems "the bitter lesson" has gone from reflection to paradigm[1] and with that as paradigm, the primary barrier to entering AI is cash for cpu cycles, other things matter but recipes is relatively simple and relatively available.

I wish the standard language in the browser was statically typed, immutable data, and purely functional. Not what we have, which is a language that is not only OO, but a crazy version of it, that "can" also be used quasi-functionally.

There's a lot more to developing large projects than your own code. What about the ecosystem? What about everyone else's code? JS IMHO is just a complete mess. That's not at all to belittle the size of the problems it is tasked with solving, which are hard and complex. The difficulty is precisely why the right tool for the job is something that really insists on some level of correctness, in the vein of what rust tries to do at the systems level.

This is all IMHO and there's a lot of room for different opinions here, but I'm guessing we have a consensus, even among JS's biggest advocates, that it can't be described as "insisting on correctness".

Unfortunately the more relevant follow-up question might be: okay it's the wrong tool for the job, so what? It's what we have.
Our security people disabled the PrtScn key, so our only way of doing a screen shot is the snipping tool. It is very frustrating.
Show HN: Google Bard vs. OpenAI ChatGPT: The dice problem part one
That was always why the Titan line was so great - they typically unlocked features in between Quadro and Gaming cards. Sometimes it was subtle (like very good FP32 AND FP16 performance) or adding full 10 bit colour support if you had a Titan only. Now it seems like they have opened up even more of those features to consumer cards (at least the creative ones) with the studio drivers.
If you are sure that what you please is and always will be in line with what their company pleases, then I suppose so. Ideology has nothing to do with it. Nor does "unethically and steal their intellectual property" have anything to do with it- they can choose whatever license they want for their intellectual property and I can ethically choose not to use it. Unless your idea of "ethics" is for force me to use their intellectual property and agree to their license?
