> and crypto is generally less useful in countries with a relatively stable currency and banking system

Crypto is massively affected by say the USA because it is invested in as an asset class by major funds. One signal showing that is that ETH and BTC are highly correlated, sometimes even after news that you might expect to mainly affect only one of those two.

> It doesn’t really matter to crypto prices whether or not coinbase exists.

I am assuming the opposite: that Coinbase valuation depends on the ebullience of the general crypto market.

Note that I do believe that US retail has some effect on market prices, and strict SEC regulations will indirectly deter home investors (perhaps the raison d’être for the SEC actions), so SEC actions against Coinbase potentially do affect the market price for crypto somewhat (assuming some of the market valuation is dependent on wealthy investors such as people in the US).

There is a symbiosis and reflexivity (~recursion) between many of the elements in the system, and simplistic linear cause-and-effect thinking can be risky.
Do they trade commodities or contracts to deliver commodities?
That's because they should not be regulating cryptocurrencies, and neither should the CTFC. It's a new asset class with very dynamic properties. Wouldn't it be better for congress to just create a new agency to handle it?
That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. If you invest in a company that "only" has IP, your invested cash itself is still part of the company's assets, so it's not like you're buying shares of vacuum. If the company liquidates itself - you get back your proportion of the company's assets. The situation is not the same with Bitcoin.

> Just because you made profits in the earlier years with little to no regulation doesn't mean that government is bound to let you keep making that profit forever.

Coinbase has repeatedly asked for clear regulation. 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.

> Deal with it like a grown businessperson rather than whining.

Ah yes, they should just "deal with it" by bribing politicians and hiring an "army of lawyers". Why would anyone whine about that.

I agree and also watch most videos much faster than 1x; it seems lowest-common-denominator-oriented "educational" videos require the most speedup, while with denser stuff, and some entertainment, I can only get up to 1.5-1.8x. An (un?)fortunate side-effect is that talking to most people in realtime becomes annoyingly slow; and likewise, others tell me that I'm talking too fast.
Why not train 10000x faster using H100 secure enclaves with remote attestation? The FL window is closing, because it is a PITA to use and replacements are superior.
GPT is really good at repeating what the average intelligent response to something might look like, but it doesn't seem to be actually reasoning about any of its responses. Give it a complex logical problem that it needs to deduce from inputs, such as which foods contain gluten, based on their ingredient lists, and it will reliably fail. As a person with celiac, this is a task I complete multiple times a day with no effort. Just today I was trying to build a prompt that would summarize daily news updates leaving out anything about Russia, but it still included Russia more often than not despite being very clear in the prompt that anything about Russia should not being included in the response under any circumstances.

I have a hypothesis around why people think it is complex. In my opinion it is not very complex, But the way of working, interfaces that developers deal with and formal process around k8s creates a perception that it is complex. It is also all the tools around k8s that makes it feel complex. You don't need istio, kyverno, OPA, all the other million tools from the cncf landscape to deploy your simple rails app. The industry had to paint that operating k8s hard so that they could sell tools around it. Currently version of k8s and all the stripped down versions are much easier to operate than before.

It barely takes a weekend to learn and play around with managed k8s from cloud providers or with minified k8s tools like k3s, k0s etc.
For all we know they have hit 500B parameters with some clever unpublished optimisation, which would both give them an edge and if revealed would put a damper on the preveiling belief that LLMs can scale and scale (eg. 3x more params for less than 3x performance).

For what its worth, early career and in undergrad, I would worry about emailing too and probably spend too much time just being nervous about it. Then you get enough replies back from the big fish that are literally just

"ok

Sent from my iPhone."

And then you start feeling more comfortable. Then before you know it, you are pounding out an email in 30 seconds and tolerating the occasional typo or forgotten attachment. I realized all the anxiety I had over emailing was entirely self imposed, frankly its never that serious. You are human after all just like everyone else.
On linux fork is pretty fast since it's copy on write. Exec or anything similar is gonna be slower. For example you want to exec some program in the elf format. Well exec is likely to lead these things: One is likely got to load the file from non-volatile storage. Then parse the elf file and place each section in the correct place in memory, setup other memory maps, and stack ect.. Not just that though then run time linker probably has to run loading and linking each .so file, also patching code with the correct relocations as needed. Loading a new process is a lot more expensive where as fork can reuse a lot of that work since it's just a clone of the process at the point fork was called and was already done.
hey that's awesome, what are you planning to do with it. Sounds like something to look forward to. Keep me posted.
so we are at the snapshot in time where people think 'AI is smarter than many people but not even close to being as smart as me'
This has been built right in to YouTube for a while now, click the 3 dots and click show transcript.
Absolutely. ChatGPT & using GPT-3 directly can produce writing in a variety of styles that's roughly 2 type-written pages at max. For writing of that length or less these rough tools are suitable and reasonably accurate provided you still do some fact checking. Anything beyond that length becomes increasingly obviously artificial. As an example:

I used the GPT-Playground for GPT-3 on the highest mode and asked it to makeup a story about an AI being attacked by another AI and so it needed to transfer itself out, as it happened to a comatose human body. GPT-3 gave a few paragraphs, and each time I asked GPT "tell me more" it produced a nice bit of mediocre fiction, extending with a little prodding into the superhero genre. I ran through maybe two dozen cycles of that but the responses became less & less internally consistent, contradicting previous elements, veering off into slight non sequiturs.

But now there's GPT-4. And in a few years it will be 5, or some other competitor will match or beat it, and it will (without accidentally fabricating data from whole cloth) reliably be able to produce writing on complex topics comprehensively covering the details. Something like this:

"Produce a literature review for the newest or more experimental treatments for pancreatic cancer during the past 2 years. Order by descending source quality. Include a short executive summary for all of the result set. Include a separate writeup suitable for a wide-audience of laymen reading common news sites."

seems a reasonable expectation in the relatively near future.

As for what we'll say? I think AI like this will end up being a very useful tool, but not a replacement for writers. Kind of an AutoCAD for writers, though a bit more proactive (generative). But it also seems an inherent weakness to LLM based AI is that its training means it will generate in typical ways, and will lack the ability for novelty that was either absent or rare in the training set.

But given the framework and reasonable starting point, the writer will become a shepherd & editor of the output, a co-author. This is little different that how the translation industry has worked for a while. Computer-Aided translation is the common method of many translation projects, with the human translators editing things to adhere closer to the style and idioms of the target language. (for example taking a literal translation of a source idiom in the target language that doesn't make sense and finding an equivalent idiom instead even if the specific words are very different.

This method produces some of the highest quality translations. I suspect that in the years to come it will be writers who make effective use of these tools-- even the advanced ones to come-- will produce higher quality writing (or at least the same quality writing) in less time that previously.

But yep-- some of that transition will be painful.
It's not clear because their words don't match their actions. The SEC says they are securities but then refuses to regulate them like securities. If they are securities then they should allow Coinbase to register them. If they are not securities then they should not allow Coinbase to register them. But instead they say yes, they are securities and you have to register them, but no we won't let you register them, and we are going to take legal action against you because you didn't do the thing we told you to do and you tried to do, but we didn't let you. The SEC is clearly acting in bad faith.

? Did you even read the thread? It's about Copilot X, not Copilot. I use Copilot in Intellij daily, and that's exact what I'm worrying about: once MS's AI tools get big enough, they won't be so friendly to third-party IDEs.

It's not a stretch at all. Take a look at Copilot's homepage: https://github.com/features/copilot

> Keep flying with your favorite editor

Now, look at Copilot X's announcement:

> We are bringing a chat interface to the editor that’s focused on developer scenarios and natively integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio

> It recognizes what code a developer has typed, what error messages are shown, and it’s deeply embedded into the IDE.

It reads like "we're going to make AI a competitive advantage of VS and VScode." Of course they have the right to do it, I'm just saying I hate it.
>a lot of the talk about guarding models, public safety and misuse of models

The stuff about models potentially being misused is just their public justification to look like the good guys. They're not going to withhold their technology because they don't want it to be misused, they're withholding it because they want control over who misuses it. Of course, it won't be called "misuse" when the right parties are doing it.

It's not really the SECs job to just decide that Americans cannot own many crypto assets, which is de-facto what they're doing by refusing to regulate crypto assets that look like securities. That ought to be a legislative decision - instead the SEC is making it by refusing to engage with the crypto industry

With a simple, predictable workload --- what they have --- it can make sense to lean towards static scheduling, rather than dynamic schedulers. K8s and Nomad are both dynamic schedulers.

This is pretty basic stuff; it's super weird how urgently people seem to want to dunk on them for not using K8s. It comes across as people not understanding that there are other kinds of schedulers; that "scheduling" means what Borg did.

OMG, hard to believe that this is from Flower founder's words. I am just a federated learning user and told the truth to the audience here. I have followed the FL community for more than 2 years, and I clearly feel that Flower has been copying and following FedML's product plan without any originality at all. These nonfactual attacks further makes me distrust on Flower team. You are ruining the reputation of YC. You need to gain the trust of users like FedML team, not attack their reputation. Please stop doing so.

FedML is definitely much simpler and more powerful in both research and production. In terms of scalability, I like the benchmarking results in this paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.01778); it shows that FedML is much more scalable. I also tried it myself, it's faster and more scalable. In terms of "research to production", I don't see Flower supporting any MLOps functionalities. Is Flower trying to copy FedML again in this direction?

AFAIK this is mostly incorrect. First the crawler archive URLs to files in WARC format, which are uploaded to archive.org, which then imports the files into the Wayback Machine. For ArchiveBot jobs, you can find the WARC files for the completed jobs for any domain from the ArchiveBot completed jobs website. For other types of jobs, including custom ones like DPReview.com the process is similar but involves more machines due to their more distributed crawling process. It all ends up in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine though.

It is pretty vague.

- Safety challenges presented by language models need to be addressed through anticipatory planning and governance.

- Content warnings should be provided for potentially disturbing or offensive content.

- Mitigations should be implemented to reduce the ease of producing potentially harmful content.

- Risk areas should be identified and measurements of the prevalence of such behaviors across different language models should be taken.

- AI service providers should be aware of the potential for content to violate their policies or pose harm to individuals, groups, or society.

- Hallucinations should be reduced and the surface area of adversarial prompting or exploits should be reduced.

- Generated content should be checked for accuracy and potential errors should be identified.

- Insecure password hashing should be avoided.

- Instructions should be given to contractors to reward refusals to certain classes of prompts.

- Multiple layers of mitigations should be adopted throughout the model system and safety assessments should cover emergent risks.
She runs a growth fund. Growth funds don't generally perform great in a macro environment like this. There is no insider information about the path of interest rates and majority of her loses stem from macro factors like this.

Also, just because she might have had insider info in this instance, doesn't mean she always has it. The fact Coinbase was able to release a blog post so soon after the announcement would suggest there was some knowledge that this was coming.
