A related thread yesterday was about how to programatically determine whether a text has been generated by an ML model and how it's very difficult to do it. There are still some aesthetic cues but we will likely become economically indifferent to them in coming months.

I've been working on a related idea from a different direction about ascertaining whether a belief is the product of an underlying ideology, and in particular, whether there is a difference between ideas formulated by the filter of ideology - and direct experiences. It's a similar error prone aesthetic judgment. The rationale is that I think LLM's can illuminate how these cultural differences are not just political opinions or religious pieties, but divides in entire theories of mind. The basic idea is that a belief that is the effect of interpreting an experience through ideology is equivalent to a text produced by a LLM. They aren't the real, they are just artifacts of language.

What I think happened is that some early 20th century intellectuals codified an older theory of mind that reduced the self-itself to the artifacts of language. Without either spiritual belief or physical competence or experience to anchor an identity to and resist it, they figured out how to install entirely new ontologies into vulnerable minds, which subordinated people to their 'enlightened' critics.

Think of it as inventing "self-as-a-service," where you place your identity and sense of self and worth in the hands of a priest, a mentor, an officer, a pimp, a professor, a leader, a therapist, or lately, an activist, and in exchange for subordination to them, you get Pavlovian drips of approval and rewards, in a theoretical Skinner box. The techniques are ancient, but transmitting them through texts is modern.

In the philosophy of mind, (I'm trying to source it, probably Dennet) there was an idea that the self-itself reduces to how it expresses itself through language and that language was consciousness.

What i think LLM's are demonstrating today is, given we can simulate all the consistent artifacts of language with some code and a computer, language has an arbitrary substrate. Therefore it is not the real, even if your experiences are affected by it. Your identity and self-itself is not the artifact of language or symbols, because experiences that are the internally consistent artifacts of language are easily simulated. Unless you can also be easily simulated, either you aren't real, or they aren't. The message of the medium here is that the existence of LLM's means the end of subjectivity, but also I hope the beginning of a common theory of mind that has some innoculation against being subordinated through indoctrination.

According to who?
Italy/Italia was used to designate the peninsula for thousands of years before there was a nation-state called Italy. [0] It was used that way continuously all the way up through the nineteenth century. e.g. Adam Smith, writing in the eighteenth century, referred to "Italy" several times in Wealth of Nations.[1]

If you're angry, you're not depressed.

Consider sharing your deep outrage with literally everybody whose job it technically is to do a better job.

Useless psychiatrist or therapist? Try yelling at and berating them for ineffectusl organization, then trickle elaborate, true bad reviews about them on Google Reviews, Yelp, etc.

Bad social services organization? Go into different offices near where you live, ask why you aren't actually getting help,

Does a psychiatrist say they're going to psychiatrically hold you because you're outraged?
Bear mace is a surprisingly good response. Then walk out.

Never, ever, ever give up enough true information about yourself that you could personally be served with legal paperwork.

If they can't name you, they can't serve you an order to desist.

This definitely is supported. Though documentation for this is often HSM vendor specific, which if heavily NDA'd. So that's why you probably haven't found much information about it.
that'd be cool but quite improbable until exploits like RowHammer, Meltdown and Spectre can be reliably ruled out.
> actually I'm seeing the AI write much better comments (i.e. some) than most devs (none).

Some comments are far worse than no comments at all. I would agree that even semi-decent comments are far better than nothing. However, "no-new-information" comments are just noise, and misleading comments have a huge negative effect. I would not be surprised if an AI produced a large number of the former, and perhaps some of the latter.
At least a Netflix show had someone trying to make it watchable by humans. OpenAI is only putting the content in a blender.
Sure, replace the politicians at the top who aren't willing to cull and replace dysfunctional and corrupt members of the police force. And if it's systemic, the entire police force, which is what's being suggested.
Sure politicians should also be held accountable for policy failures but I don't think it absolves the people enacting an injustice from responsibility.
"just following orders" is not a valid excuse and "just vote different" is not a valid way to hold people accountable (in all cases).
When everything works in the spirit of the law and the output is still bad it makes sense to just vote for different laws/people to make new legislation, sure, but when rights are being violated there need to be harsh consequences.

If you haven't tried going to a naturopathic/holistic doctor, that might help. If you've already been to that sort of physician, you might want to get a second opinion. It sounds like you've already covered the basics like getting your vitamin D levels and vitamin B levels checked. You might be one doctor visit away from a permanent solution to a temporary problem. When I found my current physician, I learned how mediocre my previous doctors were. It wasn't that hard for me to find a quality physician. The problem was that, not being a medical expert myself, I simply had no idea that my previous doctors were so deficient.

The concept of qualified immunity being a road block in this context is a bit weird to me. In my country, the local government is responsible for maintaining and operating a functional police force. While citizen can't sue the individual cops or the local police organization, they can sue the government for the actions of the police force. This also happens fairly regularly, and generally citizens do get compensation when the police makes mistakes. When a mistake is large enough (and costly), there will generally be a new regulation to address that in the future, and in some cases a local politician will have lost enough trust by voters and be forced to leave.

Is this impossible to do in the US?

> Then they wouldn't release anything to the researchers.

I'm sure FB has shared enormous amounts of data with researchers in the past. And they've probably had very little trouble with said researchers uploading data to the internet.

I think it's a pretty bad take that FB sharing data with researchers means that they wanted it spread freely. Even if that data is LLM weights.

Fragmentation at first and you hinder the first mover in this case OpenAI in sizing the market completely and later on you can acquire the necessary pieces to get back into the market or buy time to close the gap.

Current Microsoft strategy seems so push into this direction. Open Source certain technologies and acquire important pieces e.g. Github / Stake in OpenAI etc. to build a bigger picture that they can monetize later.

One question I consider: is a cop that never violates anyone’s civil rights, but also does nothing when their coworkers do, considered a good cop?

For instance, are there any good cops in Louisville? Any good state cops in Kentucky? Seems to me they would’ve done something, anything, about the Breonna Taylor case instead of waiting for the feds to come in.

There were even active coverups, Kentucky’s Attorney General went to great lengths to push the idea that the entire thing was perfectly legal!

Edit: and maybe the federal charges are to some extent the result of an actual good cop in KY blowing a whistle, hopefully we’ll know someday
I already posted this above, but here is a repost, because I know exactly how you feel:

XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/tmp"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/tmp"

Note that XDG_DESKTOP_DIR and XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR have to point to different directories. In hindsight, this is obvious, but this is also a really stupid "security" bug-o-feature that costed countless hours to countless people.
This halfway solution might even be the best of both worlds for Facebook - AI researchers are distracted by the shiny-shiny of gray-market weights, instead of working on truly open models. This might also explain why LLaMA wasn't trained to convergence - they're keeping the converged model for themselves.

Thanks for the insight, good advice.

But also from the same GH article [0]:

The ISO 27001 certification is the latest addition to GitHub’s compliance portfolio, preceded by SOC and ISAE reports, FedRAMP Tailored LiSaaS ATO, and the Cloud Security Alliance CAIQ.

Do you have any knowledge on one of these certifications (for exmaple FedRAMP) that puts any restrictions on handling key material?

Just like it's obvious what OS I meant, it's also obvious that the article's aim is not as narrow as you're trying to paint it, otherwise it wouldn't have a section on Windows. And the Mac section is also weak, so even that is not a good excuse; and Mac also has a standard, and it's best to ignore it if a user sets an XDG env var

Your advice re. Windows is also bad, for example, for a lot of x-platform tools I care more about x-platform consistency and would set the env var to the same ~/.config, e.g., it's much easier to do backup, and I don't care that there is some OS standard (which aren't great to be followed blindly)

But even for non x-platform apps that Windows AppData defaults are a dumping ground for app data (not configs) I don't care about and don't need to backup or anything , so if there is an option to put some configs that are more important in a different folder, that's better

In the last month a close friend of mine lost her partner to suicide and she’s having difficulty with the grieving process. She knows she can call me any time of day and I’ll pick up, no matter what I’m doing. Only yesterday I was in an important meeting (part of the team presenting) and I received a message saying “I can’t cope any more, I just want to die.”.

Within seconds I excused myself, stepped out of the room and called her.

That 5min phone call was more important than any meeting.
Adding to this a more private and self hosted option, there is uMurmur [1] which is light-weight enough to run on a Linux home router. One of the mobile apps that works with it is Mumla. The downside of uMurmur is that the channel configuration is static. Upside is it takes a few minutes to get running and most of that is getting a LetsEncrypt cert. The voice quality is incredible.

There is of course the full blown Murmur [2] install that works a little more like Discord in that people can create channels and there is a permission system.

> How has GH ever been able to become ISO certified last year [0], when they didn't even place their keys in a HSM?

ISO 27001 certification does not require you to put keys into an HSM. The standard requires you to have controls in place, be aware of your risks and to maintain a risk register. But in no way does the standard require HSM's.

The standard would even be OK with storing this on a floppy drive if the risks surrounding that were identified and mitigated (or accepted).
This time around it will be different though.

Definitely happy to see Framework offering 3D models for retired boards and an upgrade path. At this pricing, probably worth consideration for a new build even.

If those were available, my four expansion bays would be one Ethernet, one HDMI, and two 2-USB port cards.

> "the rejection of communism is why rich people get to own and control businesses".

is as wrong as saying "the rejection of [pastafarianism | soccer/futbol | anarchocapitalism | mandatory left-handedness | manual transmission cars | etc] is why rich people get to own and control businesses".

Communism and the communist party have never been part of the question. The closest "Communism" came to being part of the political landscape was when a power-hungry alcoholic grifter named Joseph McCarthy won a Senate seat in Wisconsin and then started a paranoid campaign of lobbing unsubstantiated accusations of secret communistic allegiance at academics, civil servants, members of the media, and of anyone he wanted. It whipped up a frenzy of anti-communist protestation, but not because people knew anything about communism, rather people rejected being called "communist" not because they knew anything about the economic theory of communism, but because McCarthyism made that term a career-killer. McCarthy starting attacking leadership of the US military, alleging that they were infested with communists, and organized hearings in the Senate that were essentially modern day witch burnings. From 1946 to 1954, McCarthy whipped up a massive panic while smearing the symbolic label "communism" with so much shit that essentially no one can think clearly about the ideas behind that system of social organization. In 1954, other Senators countered with a campaign to censure McCarthy for his invalid and unwarranted abuse of US Military Generals, culminating in a vote to condemn McCarthy (67 votes to condemn, 22 against condemning). After this humiliation, McCarthy wasn't decent enough to resign his seat and leave voluntarily, but fortunately he died of cirrhosis of the liver about 2 years later at the age of 48.

In short, the claim that "the rejection of communism", something no one here spends any time thinking about, "is why rich people get to own and control businesses" is ridiculous and evidence of a broken thought process. I refer you to my prior advice about dealing about slowing down and recognizing when you've built your beliefs on logical fallacies.
