This isn’t just a moral plea.

The FTC is also warning businesses that they could face fines for selling access to tools (like LLMs) that can be used to deceive if they don’t take sufficient actions to protect against misuse.

Why would you need to repair LED strip lighting? LEDs don't normally have a lifespan limit, or at least not one measured in months.

And all the LED lighting I've ever seen is repairable; you just need a soldering iron to do it. The individual LEDs are usually very easy to get access to.

Youtube only allows up to 2x and that's annoying. I use mpv (with youtube-dl) to work around that... up to 4x.

The way I see it, is there has to be demand to target something with content. What is the business case of e.g. using an ai model to comment in a niche forum? If there was any case, you would already see people using cruder models or even content farms to generate content in these niche forums. You do see this with sites like reddit already, and even potentially here, in instances where there is a business case (I'll put politics/sentiment influencing under that business umbrella). In short, the apocalypse you are worry about already happened before chatgpt. The 90s internet went away as soon as various slimy individuals realized how many eyeballs are on it and what that means for moneymaking opportunities.
For the purpose of this conversation, there's no practical difference between "work from home only some of the time" and "never work from home". If you have to be in the office two days a week, that implies both the purposeful existence of an office and a need to live somewhere that's not a zillion miles away from that office.
I would call it a spawn server, based on the "open server" or "doas" pattern, where you have a process that creates children to setuid() (etc.) which then set a private IPC service that open()s files and sends back the open FD to the caller.
Anytime I use a traditional search engine I think the dead internet is already here because surely no one is writing all these crappy SEO spam sites.

Yeah, generally with a hefty price tag.

This open source design makes good use of TPM ports present in most modern motherboards, including current generation, thus it should bring ISA access for everyone, on the cheap.

That's called "retargeting". The advertising network tracks your web activity across multiple sites, and advertisers pay extra to target you because you've visited their site previously.

Ad blockers break the code that tracks you around the web and the display of ads, whether new or retargeted. There are some decent options for iOS.

Furniture in the old days was like cars: a way to show off. (Rich) people would have their guests tour their homes so they could show off all the expensive, hand-made custom furniture.
and the celebrities simply need to disclose what their compensation is, when the asset involved is already determined to be a security. I would actually like to see that practice extended to consumer products that aren't securities.

unfortunately here, the SEC is still relying on an ambiguous interpretation of securities, unilaterally deeming something a security and simultaneously charging people that promoted it, who are relying on assurances and a parallel set of behaviors that something is not a security.

"pre-war"? WTF?

> the extremely high demand for pre-war and denser areas.

Of course there is a high demand for urban areas. It's an effect of runaway density. Companies have competitive advantage if they locate their offices in The Downtown of a large city. This in turn makes the area around it more expensive, as people try to move closer to avoid longer commutes.

This is a vicious circle, leading to a sort of "density pollution".

And it should be solved in exactly the same way we dealt with other forms of pollution: via regulation and gradual tightening of rules.

What a superb way to build trust from your ivory tower of moral self-righteousness about how you've decided an language model can and cannot be used (which includes such hilarious bullshit as the model declaring it cannot make jokes about any particular group when asked to make a joke about women, but happily making jokes about men all day long.)
it's still a fundamentally non-utilitarian argument because you're talking about the sins of one man vs an entire country full of chaos and disorder.

Here’s the Coinbase argument that staking is not a security: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/coinbases-staking-services-are...

And I find it odd that your referenced article mentions three tests, when it seems to be normally listed as four prongs: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=howey+test+prongs
So, you’re explaining a stack with:

- application instances

- load balancer

- database

- cache

- search cluster if application search is necessary

Sounds like any cookie cutter application to me, even modern ones. How is that complicated?
Yes. Capitalism, exactly.
Coinbase's position is that that ICO was not an investment contract. Not everything called an ICO is an invetment contract - the point of that SEC page is to provide guidance on when an ICO is an investment contract. Coinbase's lawyers have certainly given that document a skim, they reference it here where they talk about securities law:

https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/privacy-and-security/o...

There is a disagreement of fact - Coinbase says they don't list any securities, and the SEC claims they do and are violating securities law, without providing any specifics. Assuming the SEC goes forward, a court will have to decide.
Excellent roast!
I hope they at least offered to buy notion. They didn't even try to make it seem like they did their own innovation
I'll bite and I'm playing the devil's advocate here.

The FTC wants to establish AI oversight and control without the legal foundational framework of laws for it.

Gun control doesn't work, so why should AI control?
I'm not sure if the Jetbrains model backfired with the Ukraine war, considering most of the dev team was Russian and they decided to close the Russian offices.

I remember that the launch of the 2022 versions had a drop in quality, I don't remember when was the last time I had crashes in a Jetbrains product, but with the launch of 2022 versions crashes occurred on a daily basis to the point I really considered cancelling my subscription, and I activated for the first time the option to block updates in Jetbrains Toolbox.

Months later they launched their promotion to keep the current pricing for 3 more years and I renewed. I acknowledge that promotion was a genius move by them, but I'm unsure if that promotion was a result of a drop in income for them.

Well that is needed to support isolated address spaces. It might be possible to share some the of the page tables safely. Still copying page tables is a lot faster than copying many gigs of data around, but for most that don't have massive page tables this is pretty fast. You can also use things like MADV_HUGEPAGE to make the page tables smaller.

Now if this is a problem and the application does not need address space isolation. clone() with the CLONE_VM flag will get rid of this problem, and clone() is nice in the fact you can get more granularity/control. This control basically ranging between most of the continuum between thread and separate process depending on your needs.
It's my go to solution as well. If I can't get a reasonable docker capable host out of the box (which you'd get in AWS and gcloud), use ansible to create one. I had to do this in Telekom cloud last year and dusted off some ansible stuff I had from previous projects and got it done. I sometimes combine it with using packer for building vm images. That avoids repeated overhead of having to run ansible, which can be a bit slow.

For application deployment, I use simple scripts that restart docker compose via shh that we can run from Github actions. Ansible is overkill for that.
Truthfully, it doesn't need to. Only read permissions are required.

It's possibly just a permission request mistake.
Bootloader ROMs let you install open source Android, which typically you can arrange how you see fit. So, either patch the vuln yourself (extreme) or toggle a setting somewhere.

Hardware switch lets you disable wifi completely - I own one phone like this actually, you can flip about 6-8 different seperate switches this way.

Then just wait untill patch becomes available/you have time to configure properly, then this becomes trivially resolved, instead of pulling teeth to get your carrier to push an update, replace your whole phone, etc...
It has definitely gotten better over time, but we tend to do a lot of stuff ad-hoc that finds its way into production lol, so we aren't yet relying on any infra as code.

I don’t think current generation motherboards are commonly carrying LPC interfaces having been replaced with eSPI.

Also, in case it isn't clear, rate hikes are indirect pressure on inflation exactly because they don't directly suppress wages in the way you describe. Instead they tighten credit, which reduces how many people can be employed, which gives employers more bargaining power which only then, eventually, ostensibly, suppresses wages. That's a pretty indirect chain of events, as I said. Per the link I cited, since wages aren't the main driver of inflation here, this arguably isn't even the best way to tackle this type of inflation. We need different tools, but the elite neoliberal class only has a "labour must sacrifice" sledgehammer, so they can't see any other possible options.
There's not much content in there, it's mostly fluff about "safety." However, if you're looking for a laugh, grab some popcorn and read the appendix from page 44 onwards. It's an absolute riot.
I hear this stuff and then think back to the charts I’ve seen of executives unloading huge positions right before bad news and my opinion, with the information I’ve gotten through the grapevine, is that the SEC is full of shit. Like the IRS they love to target celebrities because it raises the profile of the careerists working on the cases. Selective enforcement isn’t justice.

Come get me when they file a case against Jeff Bezos, the chairman of Goldman Sachs, Chuck Schumer, someone in that club.
How could one apply the mentioned technologies to llama/alpaca?
> most importantly it shows lack of portability

If it already runs on two Unix-likes I don't see the absence of Solaris support showing lack of portability. I actually think Solaris usage is the _more_ important piece: software is made for users and if those users don't exist (or there's such a small number as to make the opportunity cost of development not worth it) then what is the point?
Interesting to see fly comparing themselves to an open source project. I guess they legitimately think it's cool and want to see mrsk catch on? I'm not sure what the marketing angle is here (and "competitor vs us" is such a common thing that it's hard not to think of the marketing angles here)
I can take my money and put it into a slot machine, gamble it on horses, gamble it on sports games. I can buy useless thousand dollar sneakers, I can buy pokemon cards. I can waste my money on absurdly overpriced art, give it to scammy non-profits, donate it to scammy spoiler political candidates.

In some states I can use my money to hire hookers, or buy drugs.

But if I want to buy crypto, all of a sudden that is a problem and the government needs to come in and "protect" me from it. Why is that, I wonder?
Rider highlights pascal cased class methods/attributes and suggests to use camel case, for example. I haven't changed any style settings. This is Rider default. Maybe its a Linux thing.
> If anything your issue should be with the regulators for not regulating, not Coinbase for trying to operate a business responsibly as possible without clear regulation.

I very explicitly _do not want_ lawmakers to move at the speed of start-ups. Start-ups are there to move fast and break things. Laws are more rigid, and thus NEEDS to take it slow to get a full picture of the risk/reward before legislating.

Coinbase, as a start-up, was a pioneer in the shaky legal ground that is cryptocurrencies. They ran the risk of running afoul of a few laws, but made heavy profits in their earlier years (including a huge public market listing) because they took that risk. Now that the risk has materialized, they are crying because they do not want to take ownership of the risks of their operation. Rather, they would like to socialize the losses that they will take by having to finally abide by the regulation. How is that sensible at all?

The fat cats behind these "innovators" are increasingly forgetting the fact that every investment ever sits somewhere in the risk/reward curve. They would rather remake the wheel into "government bad/reward" curve, where any risk and losses is covered or subsidized by the government and all the profits flows into private coffers. I would rather they work for their keep, for once in our collective lifetimes.
Depends on the industry and barrier of entry. If your in one with alot of compliance overheads your are outsourcing alot more them compute and storage to your cloud provider. Hiring inhouse in that same case its extremely expensive unless you are over a certain size.

We have idea about how to reproduce but using deterministic training mode is very slow as it loses some optimisations.
I understand the "this is why we can't have nice things" sentiment.

In 1946, SEC v W.J. Howey Co. (328 U.S. 293) ruled the meaning of “security” as used in the provision of § 2(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 defining “security” as :

“For purposes of the Securities Act, an investment contract (undefined by the Act) means a contract, transaction, or scheme whereby a person invests his money in a common enterprise and is led to expect profits solely from the efforts of the promoter or a third party, it being immaterial whether the shares in the enterprise are evidenced by formal certificates or by nominal interests in the physical assets employed in the enterprise.”

There are three components:

1. expectation of profits
2. a common enterprise
3. depends “solely” for its success on the efforts of others.

There’s a lot of discussion on what constitutes a Security so I think it’s a good idea to shine a light on this topic.

Not to be impolite, but this is incorrect. One detail they did share in their paper is that they where able to finetune and select their hyper parameters on a model that needed 1,000x less compute than the final gpt4 model. OpenAI is definitely leading in how to train very large models cost effectively.
I laughed at this bit too. Is there anything that isn’t foiled by crappy USB hubs?
It's disingenuous to claim that once a company is approved for public listing all of their future operations are outside the jurisdiction of the SEC. What kind of world would that be?
When compared to the stress it causes for those impacted, I’m going to disagree and claim that it’s entirely meaningless. Given that most of his compensation comes from stock, losing a few 100k at most in salary is nothing.
For better or worse, the US controls international banking. If we lose that, we essentially lose all of our non-military options for intervening in geopolitical situations. Keeping crypto down is sort of in the US's interest.
k8s is misunderstood. Everyone focuses on the complexity/over-engineering/etc arguments when those really don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

It's not about any of that, it's about having a consistent API and deployment target that properly delineates responsibilities.

The value of that then depends on how many things you are running and how many stakeholders you have taking part in that dance. If the answer to both of things are small then k8s value is small, if the answer to either of those is high then the value is high.

i.e k8s is about organisational value, it's technical merits are mostly secondary.
No, more like Github Autopilot - to write all the code for you.
Sounds like one of the journalists already had this in place. Crappy USB hubs have at least one use.
I wonder how much of these movements are them iterating and hunting for ROI in their infrastructure costs. Did GCP and AWS salespeople sell them on the benefits of the cloud, offer discounts, white glove migration help, showed some calculation on how much $$ they will save in the cloud, etc that on paper sounded great, but wasn’t ultimately a good fit?

Their market is probably saturated and perhaps declining that they are reaching for optimizations elsewhere.
