Is there a stat on this please? I'm quite curious about this.
Hi, cofounder here. We're very transparent in the UI about the fact that messages that mention @AI are not covered by e2ee. See https://imgur.com/a/5kPEdQP

Only messages that actually mention @AI are sent in plaintext to us, and then to OpenAI's API. All content shared between people without invoking the AI is fully end-to-end encrypted.
Right. I would assume custom icons and labels (do those still e its?).

Basically it seems to be the replacement for the old resource fork data on non-Apple file systems.
That’s a great question, Messages that specifically mention “@AI” are visible to the bot (obviously), but only those messages. Not the whole thread.
They are not taking Binance down. They are hair-cutting its dominance. It has happened before with Bitfinex and Bitmex. Both platforms still operate. My take is that Binance will keep operating but the crack down will significantly impact its business.

This seems like a conspiracy theory: every time an exchange gets too big, the US cracks down on it. But it might be the US is concerned that something gets too big to get out of its control? We already know that P2P and small exchanges are out of control due to sheer size.
I don't know. The Republicans in general are just Democrats 10 years late. They were against gay marriage - now, well, Trump isn't actually willing to upset that apple cart despite the press. 10 years ago they were complaining about government spending, now they sign stimulus checks like the rest even if the Green New Deal is too much to stomach (for now)...

Also there is a preference you can set with the defaults command to stop MacOS from putting them on file systems it encounters.
The app has an “@AI” user which needs to be mentioned for the data to be shared. Chef’s kiss emoji from me in terms of transparency. Also, if you DM @AI it calls out that the message will be shared with OpenAI and Wavelength.
> Performance: using the same links above, we see that ECC ram tops out at 3200 MT/s, whereas for non-ECC you can get 4000+ MT/s. The brand selection is also better, which is critical if you want to get high performance memory chips like samsung b-die or micron E die.

Notable is that the max speed of 3200 MT/s for ECC is due to that being the fastest JEDEC standard for DDR4, you're not getting the XMP-profiles to run them faster and will have to resort to manual overclocking.

I emailed them a long time ago to tell them to delete my data. They asked for more data, which I declined. I'm curious what their legal requirements would be in that case. I'd hope that since they could easily figure out who I am and delete my data from just my email, that it would mean they're still required to do so without me giving even more data, but who knows.
It's rather disingenuous to say "there are always exceptions". First off, if you're just going to talk generally, there are countries with less onerous business regulations than the United States. France isn't one of them, but Norway and Denmark are. More importantly, we are talking about regulating a specific technology, namely AI. The US has already demonstrated the ability to regulate a specific technology--namely nuclear energy--to a point where it is almost completely marginalized. So the notion that the US isn't capable of regulating an entire technology into near-oblivion is demonstrably false.

That’s certainly what I do. In the geek world though, they are going a lot lower. I’ve seen 6 mentioned and 7 or 8 is common.

There is also the effect of the pre-infusion which is a lot lower.

I don't understand. Chrome and Firefox don't have platforms. Which means they run pretty much everywhere they're allowed to.

Apple is the only one of those three that restricts their software to hardware that only they sell. So in that case I do understand your position.

Given its place in the orbit of tastemaker-market, iOS-exclusive apps, I expected Wavelength to require a paid subscription for access. I was surprised to see that the developers plan a freemium model.

Of course, a paid-only model would put a hard ceiling on the total addressable market, but they have an interesting challenge ahead in finding something that a sustainable number of users will want to pay for.
If they really believe that it will bring appropriate returns, a $10B investment is manageable. It is a significant burden, but even much larger investments have been made - e.g. Starlink satellite fleet on the private side, or the Large Hadron Collider from government funds.
Monetization is not for the user.
Storytelling is both incredibly powerful to people, and also super easy to forget or deprioritize in the face of challenging engineering demands.

It’s far more prosaic than the space program, but I’ve seen many examples of fantastic web engineering projects that went unappreciated (by customers, by management, by the press) simply because there was no story of what happened and why it mattered.

NASA has definitely learned this lesson; look at the effort they put into storytelling with images like Hubble Deep Field, the photos of Pluto, and (especially) the Mars rovers.

Did he fine tune the model or was all the required information contained in the foundational LLaMA model itself? If he did, and he fine-tuned it on an exploits database then I can see how the model could be used this way.

This is a good thing imo. If LLaMA is tuned well enough, it could make for a nice and accessible opensource penetration testing agent that orgs can run periodically to catch low hanging fruit for free. It still won't be able to invent new techniques but it will be enough to thwart low skill attacks and those using LLaMA offensively.

In classroom settings, slides are a poor local optimum. Personally I feel that professors rely on slides too heavily and would strongly them to use chalk. Writing in real-time forces you to teach at the pace of human thought.

This also allows students to take notes and actually absorb the material - otherwise, there is a tendency to pack too much into slides and you end up loosing half your audience. Although sometimes helpful for giving visual intuitions, more often than not, slides just get in the way.

When there really is no alternative to slides (e.g., for workshops and conference presentations), I find LaTeX/Beamer much easier to handle. It has good defaults and does not require fiddling with transitions and formatting and superficial but ultimately pointless settings.
Interesting, I guess I live in impur lands :)

I understand the pollution concern… but unless that .git/info/exclude is standard in the company, what prevents a intern to not have a correct exclusion there, and happily push a .ds file ?

.gitignore looks more robust to the obvious user. And it’s not like it’s a file you need to look at attentively every day.

But yes, I do see that you are correct!
I guess because we still don’t understand why it works. We still have no basis on which to predict that it works as well as it does, except for the manifest fact that it does.

it’s funny you use the word “excuse” rather than “reason” or “cause” - it’s almost like you’ve already drawn a conclusion in the absence of any actual data…

The point is there is no excuse NOT to consider those important factors - they are part of every annual physical and certainly part of the extensive screening done during enlistment. So you’d only ignore them if you’re trying to create a particular narrative, IMO

Check it out. They are claiming 100x faster training and inference with smaller models, performing almost with the same accuracy as GPT.

People are already running models on their phones. Some people have been posting here and on Twitter how they can run Alpaca (Llama + GPT fine tuning), on their Pixel phones.

2. The cat is out of the bag. People are creating and releasing stuff faster than companies can keep up with.

Have you seen what ChatGPT is already able to do with plug-ins? You can give it control of a Linux machine and tell it “create a basic CRUD app and run it on a docker container”, and it will do it.

That means soon AI is going to be training itself, or at least with minimum input/direction from humans.
Yeah that sounds like a good choice for managing complexity.

Probably a trade-off with cost I'm guessing. For my project I was trying to get the cost as low as possible, since it's just a side project for me.

Interesting point about the open issues, I didn't notice that, but does seem like it could be an issue for the longevity of the project.

even with the examples on the landing page, the regexes generated for the emails are not really usable. it needs way more examples to produce the right thing.

Tech is a big place and not everyone uses GitHub.com - they have an entire self-hosted version for exactly that reason, since many customers have policy or legal requirements – but also consider the distinction between something following its stated policy or doing something else. When you use Windows or VSCode the terms of service do not include sending your personal data to someone else and Microsoft would be in serious legal trouble if they changed that. In contrast, Copilot explicitly does have the right to send some of your code elsewhere so the legal question would come down to whether it reached the point that a judge would no longer consider “snippets of your code” to cover what was sent.

Quite the spectacle to watch the crypto space go from pure libertarian idealism to basically speed-running the reimplementation of every banking regulation developed in the last 200 years… after people exploit their absence to defraud everyone they can as quickly as possible.

> The policy stance is directly implied by the probability estimate

I think this is not the case. The policy "we won't accept peace until we achieve x" is very different to "we won't accept peace until we achieve x conditional on the achievement of x being probable"[0]. The first implies a kind of "to the last Ukrainian"/"you'll have to take it from my cold, dead hands" attitude, the latter doesn't.

[0] A conditional such as this is implied by your claim that "The policy stance is directly implied by the probability estimate": if the probability estimate leads to the stance, then it stands to reason that the stance may change if the probability estimate changes, which would (in this case) contradict the very nature of the stance (specifically, the "to the last Ukrainian" aspect discussed above).

Bizarre. That's on iOS for me, searching in the settings app itself. I have to type most of "passwords" just to get it to show up at all, and some of the ones that are showing up instead have only the most tenuous connection to the search term "password".

It used to show up for me after a couple letters, in the settings app, until a few iOS versions ago, IIRC.

Thanks! This is the first I've read of any Win11 features that aren't just 'features'. All the articles and marketing stuffs make it seem the same as the last to major versions of macOS:

"Look at all these new features we have! (…that are so minor or quizzically irrelevant that you'll wonder why this is a whole version number upgrade instead of a .1 release).

Oh, and we rearranged a bunch of stuff into weird, often obscure, places with no justification, but we're calling those features, too!".

So, now at least I have some things to look up, even if I intend to skip Win11 for other reasons.
Wow, it's so mean, and I like it.

Yes, it is hand wavy statement without specifying the period of interaction. This is as bad as the "patriots" (who are non existent except as bogeymen in this thread, lol. Maybe this makes sense if you are a Greek patriot. )

> RockyLinux is by the guy who did CentOS, and seeks to follow it's principles.

Not quite. Back in 2003, when folks were first coming up with the idea of creating a distro that matched RHEL as closely as possible, Greg Kurtzer (the Rocky founder) explicitly stated that he would be interested in helping host it, but that he was "totally not interested" in leading it.

https://web.archive.org/web/20040909231336/http://www.caosit...

It wasn't until much later (~2019) that he started trying to retcon history by claiming he was the original CentOS founder.
By that logic it should be in your global excludes file. It practice it will save more time if you just add it to your project's .gitignore instead of wasting time having everyone else configure their system. O(1) amount of work compared to O(n)
I am on the waitlist for Bing and can't check directly--would it also answer specific questions about the doc? (Rather than summarize.)

Our site is meant for Q&A, and has a layer of tech that finds the sections in the large document that are relevant to the Q first. This will not work well in general for summarization on unstructured content. But most content tends to be structured and in practice we are finding that the approach still works on e.g. news articles, wikipedia articles, blog posts. It's almost as if where it doesn't work, a human would have trouble too. (e.g., on a long rambling HN thread).
The post is about how the languages serve different purposes, and he just happens to be working on a project now that he believes benefits more from Zig. Nowhere does he make broad-strokes statements about Rust's (or Zig's) fate

Interesting. I think the raw original source data would be good to have a copy of if possible and over time tools to curate and sample it should get better.

What I can’t get really pinned down is how much storage one needs to have your own copy of all of the most valuable raw data. At initial estimate it seemed like less than 1PB was enough for sure if focusing on text and not images/video. It even looked like maybe 200-400 TB might have been more than enough. I need to investigate more. I need numbers like 900GB for pile, then 2.5TB for a meta curated text only common crawl. So I’m assuming there is at least 10 of these in same ballpark that are important to have a copy of.

Any thoughts on the size requirements? Focusing on text.
I'm completely content with that deal. But the deal only works if the warranty is clear. Unless it's unmistakable to users that they have crossed the line, they will complain if you break them.

> "defund the police" [...] "din't mean it that way."

That was definitely a confusing time when multiple people meaning different things were using this slogan.

> Many people suspected "defund the police" would lead to an increase in crime, and said so. [...] Now that crime has risen in the past couple years

This probably looks like a "gotcha" to the average person not paying attention, but AFAIK not a single police department was defunded. In fact many had budget increases, including political support from President Biden himself.

The implication that somebody is backtracking on the slogan because defunding (which never happened) caused a crime surplus is rather hilarious misinformation.

Now deal with the fact that crime and police budgets both went up.
