Good point. I wish OpenAI released more of their work as open source. I wish people building on top of them did too. That said, I usually won't begrudge a small-time developer or entrepreneur from choosing whatever licensing model they think is going to make them the most money. An army of small-time entrepreneurs who build closed source can still have democratizing effects on a market that's been captured by a few large companies. I'm more frustrated when I see big, entrenched companies finding ways to capture value from the open source ecosystem and privatize it.

My view on v1s, prototypes and PoCs regardless of their licensing is that by design they're going to be a mess and have errors, if they don't you waited too long to ship. Maybe these folks should have been a little more honest in their marketing but man if we're going to get into a list of the offenders on that front I think they are way way down on that list.

Overall in my view LLMs are the most disruptive thing to come along since the Web itself. Business model's like Google's are facing a direct challenge from this technology. Why do I want to look at Google's first page full of shitty search ads when I can use a LLM to get an answer immediately? As far as I'm concerned at this stage I would love to see a billion projects from every corner of the world built on top of this technology. Whether they're great or they're crap, the avalanche is the first real opportunity in many years to disrupt some giants.

Uhm, it's not directly comparable - cars have different specs in each country and it's very rare you can spec them 1:1 exactly. As an example - you'd find that the starting price of cars in Poland is much lower than in say, UK, but if you compare the spec the "base" model in Poland is missing a lot of equipment that's just standard in the UK to keep the cost down as much as possible.
But that’s exactly what they do now?

Well, the ideal solution is for everyone to use NFC all the time. But failing that, having both versions is preferable to what Apple does.

What is the threat model that makes having both versions exploitable? Historically, many vulnerabilities (e.g. several git vulns) have come from filesystems doing normalization rather than the lack of it.

That's a tautology. In that strict sense, there's no amount of you that's good for the environment, either. Unless we all commit suicide, we have to accept the fact that our behavior changes the environment. So, yes, quantities matter a lot.

When the only friend you talk to on platform A moves to platform B, then you will move to platform B. You've already shown that you're OK having your chat spread across the services, so while it may be annoying to you, it doesn't seem like a show stopper for a new platform.
The tree of: Groups > Threads > Messages is a forum.

Forums have had private forums, public forums, paid forums, encrypted, shared, only trusted device networks, for everyone, federated.

My point is that this isn't new, and that's a good thing.

It resonates, "it clicked", because it's something we recognise.

When we recognise something then we can also tap into the deep history and learn from the possibilities of that and also reflect on how they failed at times (against social media).

I love forums, I would love to see forums become the predominant form of messaging again. Forums yield slower and richer conversations between groups as small as a few people or as large as hundreds of thousands.

Calling it what it is helps access the past and peer into the future.

You're wrong that everyone would do it. I wouldn't. Lots of people find the practice to be dangerous and abhorrent, but you're right that corporations are salivating at the thought of the profits they could pull in by further exploiting our personal data and you're right that once they start only regulations will stop them.

This is absolutely one of those situations where we should really start thinking about what kind of world we want to live in and where we are actually headed.

Far be it for me to teach the Pope to pray, but would it be reasonably reasonable to make that do the right thing? If your compiler can disallow it, it can detect it, so the grammar is obviously thinkable, and the semantics might be as well.
It is undoubtedly a feel-good story. Another “facial recognition feel good story” I’ve heard was a child porn case - the police ran the perpetrator’s image to find him and arrest him… and then ran the victim’s image to find her and inform her family, so they could get her therapy and support. Yet another story is the detective who ran a fugitive from a cold case and it pulled up an obituary for the fellow, effectively closing the case on the spot - not quite “feel good”, but it does serve to illustrate that these technologies have all sorts of applications in policing beyond “take a picture of the bad guy to send him to jail”.

What to make of these stories? On the one hand, we’re only hearing these stories because these stories make them look good. On the other hand, these stories… kinda do make them look good? Giving defendants access to the evidence they need to save themselves from a miscarriage of justice, locating and protecting victims of the worst crimes imaginable - those are seriously good things! We should be careful to respect the gravity of those results in our calculus of how to treat these feel-good stories.

Ultimately, my analysis is that facial recognition isn’t “good tech” or “bad tech”, it’s just “extraordinarily powerful tech”, and thus it will necessarily inherit the moral valence of whoever’s using it, and those users’ intentions and actions.

If they give that tech to defense lawyers and the lawyers use it for good, sometimes you will get stories like “we put in a single frame of body cam footage and in a few seconds it gave us back the only person who could save our defendant” (and the facial recognition companies will be falling over themselves to tell you all about it).

If they give that tech to sports stadiums and the stadiums use it for evil, sometimes you will get stories like “we put in the headshots of every lawyer who’s suing us, and prevented one from enjoying a football game with her friends and family” (and the media will be falling all over themselves to tell you all about it).

If they give that tech to police, well, I would guess your opinion of them would end up roughly the same as your opinion of the police.

> You might think it's overbroad (and I do actually), but it's not 'whatever the Secretary wants'.

you list a bunch of the specific "poses an undue or unacceptable risk of—" claims &c &c. but we have tasked the Secretary of Commerce with hunting not just these risks down, but also 3.a.2, that which "otherwise poses an undue or unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States or the safety of United States persons."

you've definitely given me/us a good greater perspective on a lot of legal langauge that isn't immediately clear to me. and genuinely thank you for that (although to be truthful i also kind of crave references on which to begin to interpret this for myself, but that is a huge ask & i generally trust/am thankful for your post). but there still feels like a lot of quite unguarded unlimited licenses here, where there's very few people in the loop.

you talk about consultation being a rather high commitment/bar than i've said, but it still unclear to me who determines who "the relevant executive department and agency heads" are. america has seen very dark times recently with political elements shopping selectively for receptive elements. i don't see what real restrictions there would be if the SoC asks two known-allies & they agree. how effectively do we expect other parties to be able to say, you ought have consulted me? even if consultation implies a need for concurrence: approval farming seems not-in-any-way-checked.

issues like mitigation just seem so dubious. because what if just to pick an example Signal comes under fire, for being a secure system that just so happens to be used by a Foreign Adversary? i don't see any real limits on what the SoC could ask, what they could compel, simply because a Foreign Adversary is somewhere involved. does RISC-V help our Foreign Adversaries? damned right it does, so what's to stop the SoC from pulling down every open architecture project on github? i still feel like there's no real checks here, that this is unlimited license. but i still thank you, and think you have potentially helped us escape misinterpretations.

You can always sync over local (or remote) ssh or fileshares or even zip up smaller repos, sneakernet them over to those who need them, unpack it there and pull from the unzipped folder.

I had an issue where I had unicode files on FAT and I wanted to copy them on APFS on mac; and half of them I could not copy, because they were in… uhh either NFD or NFC. One of them. macos just showed some random error when I tried to copy.

What I needed to eventually do is to go on Windows, install WSL there, then run some script that recursively renamed them from the first to the other (on the FAT volume), and only then I could copy them from FAT to APFS, on the Mac.

(I could probably skip the WSL and do it with some Windows-only tooling, but that would take me even longer.)

so this little exercise involved mac, windows, linux (and plan 9, if you count the wsl filesystem shenanigans)

The possible exploit is that you could have two versions of a file, one that the user sees and one that is executed.

Buy generally anything that leads to unexpected behaviour can be exploited in some way, if not technical then to mislead the user.

The question is, why is 'failing that' happening here? And if there's 2 files encoded differently with the same name, how would the user differentiate them?

That's a blatant lie, but I don't expect much better from people defending Elon at this point:

Elon promises Open AI 1 Billion dollars
=> 10% into that commitment Elon tries to take over the company.
=> Is rebuked by Sam Altman and co.
=> Elon reneges on the funding for Open and Transparent AI and walks away.
=> OpenAI goes to Microsoft to replace Elon's money
=> Microsoft gets to define terms and "Open and Transparent" is no more.

Oh yeah... and Google goes on to make Elon look like an absolute fool by proving that no, OpenAI was not falling behind Google: OpenAI behind behind is the absolutely hilarious excuse he tried to use to take over.

-

I don't know how clueless you need to be to call OpenAI's move a bait-and-switch: The only bait and switch was Elon offering 1 Billion dollars as a donation, then trying to turn that into a takeover.

That's morally disgusting behavior, not trying to save your company after a petulant child tried to sink it because you didn't let him turn it into his pet.
Precautionary approach is a good idea but as far as risk across the range of proposed ocean industries, this one is kinda meh. the extent of most tail risk in the realm of possibility has already happened and we've learned from the cautionary tales. e.g. invasive algae species have already been spread around the world, many of which for attempts at cultivation.

farm planning/ disease propagules we've learned quite a bit about because of salmon farming.

I don’t understand the bathtub analogy, but I will say it should be a goal of humanity to control the climate of the entire earth. The alternative is we don’t and are forever at the whim of what Earth and the solar system decides to throw at us.

I’ve found this argument to be appealing to people on both sides of the climate change debate.
While I agree with you that restrictions should be clear, this feels like a limit well beyond what anyone would encounter. Even abnormal usage with something like many big git repos with tons of little nested files inside the data directory isn’t going to hit 5M files unless you’re really committed to pushing until you find the invisible wall.

It would be pointless if your car came with a giant list of the melting point of every material used in the structure of your car so you know what the “real” temperature limits are. Oh boy, better not let the car get to 1450C or else the steel frame might melt!

You can generally blame a bulk of India’s historical lapses on the caste system, including its repeated conquests by invaders.

Crickets from you regarding the whole premise here that relies on my counterparty's "stereotype" that a drug user will choose "inevitable death" when able to dose themselves with clean pharmaceutical grade drugs without cost. At least I didn't make it a personal comment about the individual inclination of the counterparty's children like they did about mine.

I reject your use of the word "stereotype" here but if it applies it is clear you're using it with extreme prejudice. Although it is kind of hilarious to see essentially don't stereotype drug users, who will all kill themselves with drugs if given the chance. Which of course is a position that is neatly and compactly contradictory.
The water use claim regarding beef has been debunked, it was based on the weird accounting trick where you count rainfall on pasture as wasted water for some reason.

I disagree with a lot of what you are saying. Firstly I wouldn't label myself any way, neither pessimist or optimist.

But you can be amazed at what has happened throughout the whole history and what humans have built, and be optimistic and excited about the future, and that we can handle the problems thrown at us and be completely realistic at the same time.

And even if there was some way to accurately judge whether optimists or pessimists view the World more accurately, it doesn't mean you can't still view the world accurately and be an optimist at the same time.

It might just be that optimists on average are more likely to view things in a better light than they are, but it doesn't apply to every single optimist.

There is truth, but also even bad truth like a problem coming your way you can treat it as an exciting challenge or a nuisance.

>Who is benefiting from a scary headline like this?

My wider, lay understanding of this is that the powers-that-be (hereafter "PTB") do not like the FRB's interest rate hikes, so from the PTBs' perspective:

1. Create fear and more fear and further fear among the public in the hopes of triggering further bank runs ("ohnoes the gov can't bailout savings no more!") and other fiscal destruction.

2. FRB is eventually forced to reconsider their current (read: undesirable) fiscal plans. Ideally go back to zero interest rates?

3. ????

4. PTBs PROFIT once more?

All journalism is propaganda and exist strictly to benefit someone out there, so I would be particularly skeptical if that propaganda is also fearmongering.

I concede that this problem is not unique to Sanskrit. It is unique to classical (and not vedic) Sanskrit literature though. My hypothesis is that it is a natural side effect of codifying a language strictly and trying to prevent change.
Other languages can (and has been) used to produce literature where interpretation is the key to understanding, but for Sanskrit it is the vast majority of the available literature, not a few oddballs here and there.

We have a single boiler / dual circuit espresso machine [1], and I think it's a perfect home espresso machine. The only thing that annoys me about it is how loud the vibration pump is, I guess a rotary pump would be nicer.

It's mechanically extremely simple, there are no electronics that can fail, it takes 10 minutes to heat up, and I can pull shots and steam continuously without switching between the modes.

Granted, it doesn't have precise temperature or pressure control, so the only way to control the extraction process is by changing the amount of coffee, or how fine you grind it. If you want to do barista competitions, this is not the machine for you. But if you just want to enjoy good espressos and cappucinos at home, then tech from the 1960s is good enough.
