It happens to the best of software projects. If we write off using those, we may as well stop using computers.

> Horrible security issues happen, but that was not a remotely acceptable way to handle it in any project that's more than a toy.

We don’t know how they handled it. They may have handled the communication poorly, but regarding the security issue itself, we don’t know, because they didn’t tell us.

> Nearly the same issue happening again means they never bothered to set up testing for this and security just isn't something they pay any mind to.

You seem to be claiming that no software with any security features can have more than one security failure, ever.

It's the oposite, trying to route or switch on variable length prefixes(as you would with IPv4 or V6), is pretty horrible to do in hardware, thanks to CAM it's atleast doeable. Route or switch directly on MAC addresses is ok, but creating policies becomes painful as there's no hierarchy.

With MPLS, you get
simple fixed length headers with single integer values is quite easy to push/pop and look up in hardware, and you can have software to generate the policies and manage hierarchies, placing the complexities and hard work at the MPLS edges, and having simple/dumb (aka. cheap) devices in the core.

The links you shared about solar panels don't paint a hugely worrying picture. The vast majority of materials in panels are inert, and newer panels are using less and less toxic materials like lead.

And all the talk about panels and wind turbine blades ending up in landfills sounds alarming, but these "big" numbers they spout need to be put in context. I'm betting it is just a tiny percentage on the total landfill generated by society, and the costs mentioned in those linked articles don't seem "unaccounted for", they seem pretty reasonable at a few dollars per panel.

> But, Sam Altman, who is leading all this, cares enough about his opinions that they have spoken in person.

Sam Altman has a financial interest in using AI doom fears to lobby for regulation that obstructs competitors, thereby serving OpenAI as an incumbent leader, and also as part of the PR machine justifying “Open”AI not being at all open, also for competitive reasons. Yudkowsky is a useful prop for Altman’s commercial interests.
It's the latter.

That's why it can only be trained on 1.8% french by word count and speak fluent french. It's not that the amount of french that was in its corpus would have been enough to train it to that equivalent level alone (it wouldn't, not by a long shot). It's that there's positive transfer of knowledge. whatever it learns predicting english helps it learn other languages much faster. it's not the only display of positive transfer either. llms trained on code reason better.

It's also why the open ai instruct tuning dataset was almost entirely english yet it follows instruction in other languages just fine.

If there's something to be translated, a language model trained on both will translate it. it just needs to learn the concept of translation but the human side of the dataset should take care of that

Really i only say theoretically because of 2 things

one. first, a multimodal text-audio model that shows positive transfer between text and audio needs to be demonstrated. otherwise, this hypothetical human-dolphin model might need too much data to be feasible.

2. we're going to need a lot of dolphin speech audio.

Hey Naveed, this is a great project well done. I'm curious about the summarisation of longform content. You mention that you're using Langchain - are you using the MapReduce approach for documents that exceed the 32k context window, or some other approach? 600 pages at ~500 words/tokens a page would mean about $20 to mapreduce through a big doc, which seems crazy especially if you iterate on those 'summary' prompts. Or are you using embeddings for everything including summary prompts?

4g has very patchy coverage in rural Australia away from main roads. Satellite can be an OK option for some (we have a gov-subsidised option), but is unreliable and subject to lengthy outages and low monthly data caps. There are many other reasons to need decent connectivity - schooling and healthcare among them.

> I have to question the decisions of someone that moves to an area without connection to the electricity grid and expects to do remote work from there.

That's just silly, closed-minded, and ignorant. You must just have very limited experience of the world. I can off the top of my head list hundreds of scenarios where remote work might become the only option for someone already living in the bush. And many other reasons (which I know first hand from people living here) why people may be entirely unable to move from here. These are real facts on the ground, and not subject to your lack of imagination and propensity towards narrow-minded curtain-twitching judgements about whole classes of people you know zip about.
Left handedness used to be about 2% of the US population. Now it's about 12%.

While it could be that somehow we've got an epidemic of left-handedness that blossomed in the 1920s, what's much more likely is that we've gotten more accommodating and understanding of left handed people, so there was less incentive to fit the mold of right handed folks.

I'm sure there were people who were alarmed at that rise, who felt that we didn't really need left handed tools and accommodations for the "2% of people who are left handed", but when you made those things available, we stabilized at about 12%.

Antidepressants and ADHD meds are, imo, in a similar place -- we've increased our understanding, we've increased our accommodations, we no longer force the people who experience those maladies into the stress of acting 'normal'.

Once you remove demonization, of course diagnosis are going to skyrocket. When it's no longer a scary thing to admit depression, ADHD, or autism, it becomes easier to get evaluated and care for them. I experience depression, I am on an SSRI, it helps me a TON. Historically, I might have been involuntarily committed or been told to "deal with it". I guarantee you I would not be as successful as I am now if I didn't have the support I do.

(Similarly, I expect you see a lot more people being "out" in the LGBTQ+ community as a result of a similar phenomena. Once it's no longer criminal or "get lynched" territory, we see numbers of gay and trans folks increase.)

These things seem like fads. They usually aren't, they are usually the case of a particular mode of people being pressured to be silent and invisible. When you remove that negative stigma, the revert to the mean can be dramatic, but it will stabilize at a new normal level.
I'm not interested in protecting the people that game their doctor. They decided on their own they wanted the drug and dishonestly represented themselves to obtain it. That's their own prerogative, if that causes problems then that should not result in punishment for those acting with honesty.

This is not "just. like. Oxy." in so many cases. Many of these were people in pain management with zero deceit involved on the side of the patient.

My name is Henrique and here is what chat gpt says about me haha:

As a highly motivated and skilled software engineer, I have a proven track record of developing high-quality software solutions for a diverse range of clients. My strong technical skills, including expertise in a variety of programming languages and frameworks, combined with my ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, make me a valuable asset to any organization looking to innovate and drive business success through technology.

A bit silly but true, I have worked on multiple startups, with multiple stacks, technologies and industries and always exceeded expectations. If you are looking for someone with golang and/or python skills (or would be ok with me learning your specific stack) hit me an email.
The trouble is, you are describing different points on a scale with no clear boundary. As anyone into BDSM can tell you, an open handed slap on a bare buttocks is quite capable of inflicting severe pain - and therefore, psychological trauma. Imagine being made to wait for the spank, in a vulnerable and humiliating position. Imagine if it were accompanied by mind games. In short, imagine what a sadist hell bent on inflicting trauma on a child could do if you permitted them to strike their victim, provided they left no permanent marks.

It is true that a malicious parent is capable of mentally damaging their child without recourse to violence, but it does not follow from that that we should shrug and permit it. Violence is an overwhelming force multiplier in an abuser's toolkit, and also strictly unnecessary for good parenting.
That could be simply explained as being justification of their decision after the fact. OP may have already decided to stop using the software, so even when they were informed that the software was fixed, they couldn’t back down. It’s a perfectly normal reaction, but not necessarily a rational one. Therefore, we cannot assume it is reasonable to follow their example.
That does seem exaggerated, though people throw around 25yr as a standard lifetime for PV[1] (with an approx. degradation of 1% output per year). 20-25yr for a wind turbine also looks believable (pretty good given that's not solid state like the PV).

Ok, so let's assume it's using a Visual Transformer architecture, since AFAICT, we don't know.

What the model does is turn the picture into numbers in a clever way (embedding).

Then, the model compares the relationships between all the embedded tokens (self-attention).

Then the model does the fancy linear algebra stuff we've come to know and love (feed forward neural network).

What you're basically getting at with your temperature comment is "rather than having it semi-randomly pick one of the top n options that the feed-forward network recommends for which pixel goes where, we can always have the model simply choose the top answer each time."

That is not "we can make it reproduce training images"

The point of embedding is to see multiple examples of similar images and generalize from them. The process in and of itself breaks the ability to re-create a photo, unless the training set is very skewed.

If that's the argument of legal cases, they are likely to fail or win on ignorance.

Everyone I know who had cancer (and that is a large and increasingly growing list...) found out about it because they went in to the doctor for a non-routine appointment because they felt pain, or felt a lump, or had a weird reaction to a vaccine, or whatever else. Even early stage cancer can produce symptoms, and luckily most of those people survived.

Methamphetamine is a schedule 2 drug and prescribed in the US, though significantly more rarely than amphetamine. Is there a difference between oral consumption of amphetamine and methamphetamine dosed out in correct proportion to the salts in question? Maybe, but certainly not that "big" of a difference.
Oh, wow, I had the exact same experience (about elevated AST, ALT, not the car accident). It's got nothing to do with protein shakes, it happens when you start working out after a long break.

I went for my regular checkups and my AST ALT levels were through the roof (3-4 times the max value). The doctor ordered a few more tests, an ultrasound etc.

I was very shocked, because my levels were perfectly normal a year before that, and I had not had any major lifestyle change. I went on an extensive search and finally concluded something similar—when you start working out after a long break, the breakdown in your skeletal muscles causes ALT ALT to be released into the blood, and it remains there for 1-2 weeks. In this process I also learned that the AST / ALT ratio is diagnostic. Depending on the ratio, it could be cirrhosis, or acute hepatitis, or fatty liver etc. My ratios were consistent with the working out after a long gap scenario, further increasing my confidence.

Note that this does not happen once you work out regularly, it only happens when you start working out after a long gap.

I told this to the doctor and linked him to the papers. He didn't outright say No but his response made it look like he didn't take my suggestion seriously. I guess he was bothered that I was playing "Youtube doctor", but well.

I said I would like to confirm my theory by not working out for 2 weeks and then re-doing the tests. He also added a few more liver function tests to get more data. Everything turned out perfectly normal.
I'm not in academia, is the industry vigilant of researchers who try to game metrics, or is metric-gaming commonplace and largely overlooked? Does it depend on country?
I’d vote one too if I could.

Electric scooter drivers ignore any kind of rules about driving: they drive at high speed on sidewalks, they wear no helmet, the have a passenger on a scooter that’s supposed to have only the driver, they cut into the road (i almost run over a kid because he was speeding from the sidewalk into the road carelessness).

Kudos to the people from Paris.

Oh and rental scooters… they are often left abandoned, very often in annoying places.
You don’t need a language to communicate (ask my cat — or any cat/dog). You also don’t need words, but colloquially, “talking” means using words, not using language. Someone talking to you with random noises you can reproduce would still be called “talking” whether or not it was a language.

In other words a baby saying “milk” because it wants milk doesn’t mean you should ignore it because it isn’t using a “language.”
When you do `*(pointer + 1)`, it'll actually increment the address of the pointer by `sizeof(*pointer)`, so it indeed works the same as indexing `pointer[1]`

Is there some single page that keeps a running status of the various LLVM's and the software to make them runnable on consumer hardware?
Oh, yes, I should have mentioned that -- it feels like no difference in performance or availability to me.

My use case is web, remote desktop, video conf, phone (carrier->wifi voice is a transparent feature for me), streaming audio, syncthing.

Only a couple of those things are sensitive to the few seconds per hour that my dish seems to lose connection, and I suspect part of that is poor placement of my dish.

To your question, and TFA's point, though - I've not noticed any change in the frequency or duration of those ephemeral outages, nor any feeling of overall performance degradation.

I might have occasionally noticed evening drops in throughput, but little of my use case is impacted - I put that down to other customers in my cell ramping up their video streaming services that time of day.

The (mean) ~40ms latency has not changed over those two years (as expected).

It's interesting to compare this "sound-talk" that parrots can easily accomplish with the obviously greater intelligence of apes, who can't reproduce human sounds, with the debate over whether chatGPT is intelligent or not.
