Some fields' conferences have refereed talks and posters, so it's not automatically suspicious. A prominent field where this is standard is computer science! Not sure about this particular instance, however.
I’d argue it’s different.

It’s not about using software but for example creating brochure using embedded asset library provided with software (which is often the case but not sure if that’s in Photoshop).

In imaginary scenario - Meta could have obtained rights to train model on FB data through EULA and could (potentially) extend those rights to “legitimate” users but me using same data to create derivatives could be a problem (and might lead to financial losses).

Something similar to “Blurred Lines” case.
That's interesting, now I wonder what the average American does to have a footprint of 16t, as they don't take that number of flights yearly.
What's up with the general hate against frontend developers? They literally make your rocketscience backend stuff accessible to users.
If you're old enough to remember Tamagotchi, consider how attached some people got to something that basic.
What exchange do you currently use?
Yes. On a motorcycle at high speed you have to actively maintain force on the wheel towards the outside of the turn to keep in the turn. If you stop the bike will straighten up.
Are you suicidal, or is there a deeper meaning to your comment that I missed?
I think their terms are the most hipocritical thing I have ever read and I get a visceral reaction at the entitlement they show with their terms stating that no one can use thier model output to train competing models WHEN THEY TRAINED THOSE MODELS ON THE COLLECTIVE IP OF HUMAN KIND.

Screw Open AI for these terms. I hope there is a lawsuit so this gets ironed out in the court of law. It is so high and mighty for them to train on copyright material produced by other people without explicit consent but then to deny other people from doing the same thing.
(Author here) This blog post is actually part of a series to write profilers from scratch (https://mostlynerdless.de/blog/tag/writing-a-profiler-from-s...) and I'm looking forward to writing the next installment, in the next few days.

I write a blog post on this and related in-depth profiling topics every two weeks (you can follow me on social media https://twitter.com/parttimen3rd and https://mastodon.social/@parttimenerd to get notified).
I actually really wish Toyota kept pushing their plug in hybrids. The Rav4 Prime get 40 miles on its battery and 40 mpg as a small suv is impressive plus 600 miles worth of gas in it. My neighbor pretty much uses most of the battery during his commute, charges it and uses the battery coming back. He can take it on long road trips without any stops too.
> Unlimited in an isolated highway with no crossings or same level intersections is nice.

In reality, in Australia, in NT and Pilbarra it causes needless death.

I grew up in these areas and I have no personal issue with others of similar background driving at whatever speed they feel comfortable - I've drafted a light aircraft at 70 m/s ( 252 km/hr ) at a 3m ground clearance along such highways for extended periods of time (geophysical survey | fun) .. but they are dangerous in ways that newcomers don't account for.

These are mostly single lane either direction highways .. if you over take a loooong three trailer road train (common on nor'west and NT highways) you might be surprised by an oncoming car that was initially invisible in a road dip ahead .. and at very high speeds next to a very long truck there are very few options.

I can add further examples of the many ways people screw up on country roads but see no real need to labour that point.

Suffice to say I agree that unlimited on open roads is nice .. but it's not always safe when you factor in other drivers, mixed traffic types, and most importantly mixed experience levels, tired drivers on 12+ hour hauls, etc.

I've worked St Johns volunteer ambulance in remote areas and I'm all for fewer deaths that could have been avoided by lower speeds and better driving practices (taking breaks, not drinking on road, taking bennies, using mobiles, etc).
The rav4 prime has 40 miles on its battery so I wouldn't be too surprised they get the prime out with 40 miles soon.

Shorting is gambling if it isn't informed by knowledge that is legally obtained but not common.

And even then: the kind of leverage that you are playing with has limited upside and unlimited downside so it isn't for everybody. Trading in stocks at least has a limit on the downside (but lacks the degree of leverage that you can get with shorting). The main risk that you've correctly identified is that even the best information will come with caveats around the timeframe, the next being that you can't assume you are dealing with rational actors.

That's why you see parties that short based on relatively unknown information publish that information as loud as they can after they've made their trades so that they can control the timing to some extent.
I think Arcimoto has the right idea. (The company itself though seems to be in a financially precarious position.)
For me, I think it's that I consume text much faster than e.g. video or someone talking, and it doesn't distract me.

I just want to be left alone when I want to focus and learn things. I love using ChatGPT to explore a subject now, though, because it's pure text and I am driving it, so I can totally see people who are more visual and social learners want something similar "packaged up" in an avatar.
I feel you! Did you miss the web 3 wave though? I still can't imagine what that was about.
Same here, aspirin is as accessible as ibuprofen and paracetamol. I’ve switched away from it for the odd pain management, but mostly because I get nosebleeds easily, and aspirin is not helpful then.
That is bigger news than the article's headline.

Hello freinds I created and launched my first Saas. It is a no frill helpdesk portal built for SAAS. Check it and pls tell how it is.
It's corruption because they know they won't be punished.

If more laws were objective (like speeding) and politicians were as surveilled as everyone else it wouldn't be an issue.
TBF it literally does the opposite, even in countries which have (culturally?) switched away from aspirin as an analgesic, it’s still in use as a blood thinner for stroke prevention and management.
Is it just me or National Crime Agency sounds like a criminal organization with an ironic name?
It follows the "yes, and" rule of improv. This is cooperative if you understand what it's doing. If you want to believe it has any fixed motivations other than that, you fool yourself.
I agree - that's definitely one way to land a lucrative offer.
But I'm surprised that there was a massive demand last year.
Because I was of the opinion that 2022 was the year where they really slowed down the hiring
It's interesting to think about how perhaps some ideas from software and programming language theory could be applied in legal settings.

The requirements are quite similar. Unambiguous interpretation of precisely defined concepts.

Particularly, it might allow much more efficient searching in legal texts. Imagine automatically searching for inconsistencies/loopholes or other "bugs" in the legal system.

I'm reminded of the "oops I wrote a compiler" meme reding your comment about legalese requiring "precision and specificity ordinary language is not able to express".
If they take it just a little bit farther and collect payment before revealing they're fake, the service would be self-funding!
Better that than the opposite effect, to assume that because a system solves a single problem very well, it is intelligent.

Is Stockfish intelligent?

Is a system with A* pathfinding intelligent?

I would define intelligence as the ability to solve a wide variety of novel problems. A system built to be excellent at a single task may be better than humans at that task but still lack "intelligence".

We still don't know what that even is exactly, but historically people consistently underestimate how difficult it is.

Not even knowing how to approach it, researchers work on solving single specialized problems instead and make little progress on whatever "intelligence" is.

(If you'd prefer a different definition of intelligence under which Stockfish and GPT are intelligent, then what would you call the ability to solve a wide variety of novel problems? Feel free to substitute that word for "intelligence" above if you'd like to understand what I'm saying.)
Dropbear's listening on all interfaces, so the only thing that would save it would be iptables perhaps?
We have proved time and time again that governments have propaganda and astroturfing teams deployed on all major social media, why is it so hard to believe that CCP through TikTok has a mechanism to promote some content over another?

I am no conspiracy theorist, but at some point we need to accept the countless proof we keep reading about tech used maliciously once your app reaches a significant mass of users, especially if those users live in a country you are in a bona-fide economic war with.

Some degree of skepticism is healthy, but propaganda thrives any time a skeptic dismisses valid concerns.
The first one though :

The cult of tradition for example. If they really whorshipped traditions, facist movements wouldnt regularly destroy their whole environment and society, uprooting all that was before.

Take ISIS and Nazi Germany, they pretended to be pro Traditions, but at the same time destroyed all that had come before completely and utterly.

I found the "states regressing to tribal society und pressure while wielding a industrial economy" to be the better description of the problem.

Though in that criteria, ISIS was not that facist, as they never had the debt loaded industrial economy that defines a full scale non-local regression.
Rejoining the EU would mean giving up the pound and adopting the euro. The British are not ready for such a big step.

I'm definitely in the "crypto is silly and a drag on the world" camp, but this is actually not a reasonable request.

The big 4 accounting firms have all stated they won't take on more crypto audits. So have like the next 20 :)

That is true whether you're trying to do it right or not (IE It is independent of whether you are in the 0.1% of this stuff that is not a scam).

It's not reasonable to ask them to do something impossible, and then point out that they can't do it as proof of fraud. That's true even if it's impossible because of worries about fraud :)

It's instead reasonable to ask them to do what they can.

IE
"Prove you aren't fraudulent by getting the big 4 to audit your liabilities" - "The big 4 won't take on more crypto audits due to worry about fraudulent companies and their own reputation" - "See, you are fraudulent!"

Does not work as an argument.

Don’t know if use tools like static check but Go’s type system kinda suck without development tools
Also watched it yesterday and I really can just summarise the video like this:

Massive crypto scam by people who are now bound to overhype the whole thing. Regular folks fall for it because they buy into the vision and have to believe otherwise everything falls apart. Companies fall for it because FOMO. Incredibly cultish.

The video is good but I don’t think it is worth the watch unless you have morbid curiosity about that particular project, or you want some crypto related cathartic release. I don’t feel better knowing the gory details of how terrible everyone and everything is in this circle.
Cleaning my cats' litter boxes.

I turn the vacuum cleaner on and put the hose into the box so it sucks all the bad air out. It also sucks all of the dust out when I'm scooping and when I put in new litter. I also set the air purifier at home to max. I put on gloves and I put on a mask before cleaning. I also buy the best unscented litter money can buy at my local pet store. Over time I've found out which cat food leads to less stinky poos (on going process).

I'm open to some good suggestions.

Feel free to enlighten me! I'd be happy to hear how an llm understand things it's not made to understand

I've been reading all I can find online about llms and no one besides reddit tech bros defend that they have "understanding" or know anything about "meaning", quite the contrary actually

Anyone who use these tools knows it for a fact, it's very easy to make them fail in a way that absolutely proves without any shadow of a doubt that they don't have these capabilities

Here is a good article with experts opinions and sources:

It's just one, you'll find dozens, all going in the same direction

Nice knee jerk reaction btw
It is dystopian when the way humans are using AI is causing inequality to deepen.
I would say Coinbase, which is on the stock exchange, and is highly regulated just because of that.

Kraken as well. They don’t play the game other exchanges such as Binance play and are happy to function just an ordinary simple exchange. However it’s difficult to know since they are not a public company and proof of reserves means nothing without knowing how much debt the exchange has.

I don’t want to defend Binance. They are shady and they deserve to go down, but there is no week that goes buy that the USA does not sue anybody or closes a crypto friendly bank such as Signature. Off ramps are all crippled. The European Parliament wants to limit the amount you can deposit to a private wallet. It’s non stop to the point I personally laugh every time.

All this feels to me like a coordinated non stop attack and it already has a code name, operation chokepoint 2.0

In all fairness I wish HN was a bit more friendly to crypto specially to Ethereum which has switched to a more ecologically friendly model, that is innovating in regard to zk proofs… Specially in a month that Shanghai upgrade launches, and the probability that the SEC fills a lawsuit against the Ethereum Foundation will exponentially grow.
I once worked at a place where I pointed out the search sucked (with 100s of examples and references to research), at which point the UX guy said “do users use our search?” which it turned out, no, they didn't (which I thought was so obvious considering how bad it was) but since they didn't use it the solution fell out of the air that it didn't need to be improved.

on edit: typo correction
Outputting text on a serial port that's directly available as io ports or mmio is of course trivial.

Unless I'm missing something important, there's no such mechanism for usb-ttl dongles.

I'd much sooner trust netconsole than the whole usb stack, as sending an UDP packet while bypassing the whole network stack is surprisingly trivial. Just poke some registers. No interrupts needed.
> A bit heavier, but not "a lot."

To compare a car which is available in both ICE and EV, a 2018 Fiat 500e (electric, with a tiny battery bank good for only ~90 miles) weighs almost 3000 pounds, whereas the same car with ICE is ~2400lb.

25% more weight is a lot on a car.
Crypto is gambling. Equally barely legal, equally based on nothing but bullshit and greed and hopes for the big win. Equally only 'the bank' wins at the end.
You don’t need to re-case them. I had three old thinkpads as servers a few years ago. Took the batteries out and connected them to Ethernet switch. Built in KVM. Job done!
To continue with some human brain powered pedantry for fun I’d argue that “the snow is out of the globe” is not a valid idiom to suit the “X out of Y” pattern.

We have multiple example pairings of X and Y but the common components are that putting X back in Y would be impossible or extremely difficult, and also that X is in some way meant to no longer be contained inside Y as part of either a desired outcome, it’s normal function or the natural expected and thus inevitable result. Cats want to escape, helium leaks, confetti is expelled to have the desired effect, and toothpaste is squeezed out to use it…

For the snow to come out of a snow globe you have to smash it which is not normal usage, not normally meant to happen, and shouldn’t happen by itself. Making the idiom “The snow is out of the globe” not a proper member of this “family” of idioms. (Also I’m not sure if there’s an agreed upon collective noun for idioms)
> It still does not make the US legal system look very good.

Why?

People can disagree on their opinion about something. Usually that gets settled in court unless new legislation is enacted that addresses the matter specifically. This is how each and every societal change is dealt with and around the change itself you'll see a bunch of institutions either wash their hands of it or claim it as their own depending on their mandate, understanding of the matter and capacity.

For instance: the oil crisis led to the creation of the Department of Energy. Prior to that there wasn't a really big need but if something threatens the economy or the stability of the USD then you can expect legislators to react. Sooner or later this will be settled and then the transition period is over by definition. And it's very well possible that some or even all of this will be declared illegal.

Ah, yes, Yoda, the enigmatic and diminutive creature from a galaxy far, far away. A figure who, with his idiosyncratic speech patterns and peculiar physical appearance, provokes a sense of unease in the human psyche. The little green sage, a symbol of wisdom and authority, yet simultaneously, an embodiment of one's own frustration and irritation.

One might ponder the purpose of Yoda's walking stick - a seemingly unnecessary accessory for a being of such immense power. Does it serve as a symbol of status, or perhaps it is an attempt to feign vulnerability, to deceive us all with a facade of fragility? One cannot help but contemplate these questions in the face of the enigma that is Yoda.

As for his ears and wrinkled skin, these unsettling features seem to instill a sense of alienation in the human heart. Is Yoda perhaps a manifestation of our fears of the unknown, the otherworldly, the incomprehensible? In this regard, he may serve as a reminder of the limits of our own understanding, and the vastness of the cosmos that lies beyond our grasp.

In his preachings about the Force and his constant use of the word "do," Yoda may very well be perceived as patronizing or condescending. Perhaps this perceived arrogance stems from the inaccessibility of the power he wields, a power beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. He is a constant reminder of the gap between the mundane and the extraordinary, a chasm that we, as mere humans, cannot bridge.

This confrontation with the limitations of our own existence may very well incite a desire to metaphorically ground Yoda into a paste, to obliterate the embodiment of these frustrations. And yet, despite the irritation he causes, one cannot help but feel an underlying fascination with this strange and enigmatic being, a creature who will forever remain a mystery to us all.
APIs are not ubiquitous. Maybe they become because of this.

comparing Loss between different training runs and hyperparameters isn't very accurate. Llama's loss metrics don't really match chinchilla's for instance, i.e it went below the minimum possible loss stated by chinchilla

More importantly, These models are extremely sensitive to loss. 2.0 to 1.8 might not seem like much but it's a huge gain in performance.

GPT-2 loss was 2.57. GPT-3 was 2

and there is plenty of training data left. perhaps not easily accessible but it's there.
What is a metahuman?
But, by virtue of how they work, are they any good at generating novel ideas?
> Is your evidence for this anything other than anecdotal?

And what is the evidence for closed source being the safest option in AI?

> Namely, the fear is that we'll get an AI which is much more intelligent than us

Which is probably quite some time away, given the fact that LLMs and other generative models have neither intentionality, nor agency. So right now, and probably for a long time to come, we are not talking about existential threats in the form of Skynet.

But we ARE talking about a revolutionary technology, that will change the economic landscape for potentially hundreds of millions of people. I am pretty convinced that a majority of them will not be comfortable with decisions about these technologies being made behind closed (corporate) doors.

We are also talking about the much more immediate dangers of AI, which don't arise from super intelligent machines, but from how humans use them, how they are trained, on what, and for what purposes they are used and by whom. These as well are issues that society will want to have more eyeballs on, not less.

Other than concerns that someday an AGI might endanger humanity, both of these issues are here, right now, and we have to deal with that fact.
To me this doesn't sound like Homer at all. Neither does the GPT4 version.

In my experience AI's are just not very good at imitation yet, except in the most superficial ways and of sources there's a ton of training data on.

For example an AI could "sound like Shakespeare" in the sense that it could write in iambic pentameter, or mention Shakespeare's characters and be able to mimic their superficial characteristics, but that's it.

On closer inspection there no confusing the AI generated work for the real thing.

And they're completely useless for imitating more obscure authors, for example.
