>Why does it need to be autogpt? It can rather create sophisticated plans for humans to exploit. Early nefarious use is more likely to go this route.

That'd be infinitely harder for an LLM: Problems where the context window can grow based on feedback of its actions (like automated attacks) are the ones that will be solved much much earlier.

The teams defending against attacks will be able to trivially apply LLMs in an automated fashion to finding mitigations, if you're already admitting it's going to be LLMs writing plans that then need humans to implement them, you're countering your own point...

> Intellectual knowledge and cyber capabilities will vastly outstrip physical manufacturing. These threats will likely appear long before this transformation occurs.

Right, so you're imagining the intellectual knowledge and cyber capabilities to trivially commit terrorism, but scarcity and equality are untouched because of manufacturing.

The difference is Mastodon is a horrible product. The UX is horrendous, yet a noticeable amount of people still left! That's how bad Twitter is! If Substack has anywhere near a decent product, Twitter will hemorrhage.

Using AI to measure workplace mental health in real time
Yeah fair, when I re-read it after reading the (terrible) Anderson sequels, I was just surprised that the foreshadowing was in the originals.
Yes, that's a good overview.

In addition, I think in the last few years the swing has been towards bigger publishers or corporate holding groups (Embracer, Microsoft/Sony, Tencent, etc) sweeping up lots of previously independant studios (Eidos, Riot, Double Fine, Mojang, etc) in acquisitions - for the sake of owning the intellectual property and freedom to do more with the license. But also, and crucially, stopping other rival companies doing the same thing first, leading to big arguments like this one: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/3/23623363/microsoft-sony-ft...

Perhaps the colder global financial situation will cool this acquisition/centralisation spree, but maybe not!
I feel like AI could help with this by intelligently asking questions and refining the design. "Is this a flat surface? What is the radius of this curve? What is the exact distance between these two edges?"

It's hard to form a union in the US. Companies do things like retaliating against organizers, messing with the election process, forcing workers to sit through mandatory HR briefings etc. Most unionization attempts are fought by companies who refuse to give countenance to the idea that employees should be able to delegate the business of negotiation. American business practice is to keep employees feeling as if they're in competition to each other for the affections of management. The moment workers try to avail themselves of the benefits of a corporate model (specialization, delegation, efficiency) it's treated as some sort of betrayal.
And the fact is Japanese people have no problem understanding what people are really saying. Things can be bluntly stated in Japanese even if their direct transliteration isn't blunt in English.

It looks like you've also been posting primarily on nationalistic/religious flamewar topics. That's not ok. It looks like this has been a problem for a long time (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17016774, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17016624), and it looks like your account has even turned into a single-purpose account on this issue (also not allowed on HN, regardless of what the single purpose is), so I think we have to ban it as well, at least until we get some indication that you'll use HN as intended in the future.

thx for posting. I just love it when Richard Schiff yells. It's music to my ears.
To reply to just one sentence: From my experience the relationship between auditors and financial (prudential) regulators is only lightly one of relying upon. On the one hand of course having trouble getting your financial report signed is a key risk indicator for the regulator, on the other hand the regulator in my sector (insurance) goes markedly deeper in their thematic and on-site reviews than the auditors do. Even though the auditors sign off on things like capital requirements, the regulators understand models way better. Those building proper models usually don’t work for the big-4 that do auditing, but work for more niche firms and the insurers themselves.

I’ve worked for a regulator in a sector with more lenient oversight (health) and there the accountant was one of the pillars of our understanding. We just didn’t have the mandate or capabilities to understand the finance of the thousands of providers. In that way regulating finance is easy. Banks and insurers are relatively low-N activities. In case of BaFin I find it hard to imagine that they couldn’t, so they probably wouldn’t.

Food for another thread is how to match the European perspective above to, say, the SVB case in the US. How on earth the regulator didn’t track the interest rate risk is beyond me. (I believe the legal explanation is that they fell in a D-F regime with less regulatory burden.)
Very nice comment.

There's no extradition treaty. Nor are there any illegal renditions. If there were then media wouldn't be screeching over nonsense "intimiation" angle, because person of interest would just get nabbed and it actually be a massive sovereignty violation / diplomatic incident. And it's generally completely compatible with western legal systems, that's how they've operated for so long with awareness from western govs / security. United Front agents passing a note that if person doesn't return to PRC to face justice out of their own acccord is just having a "conversation", frequently delivered by other naturalized citizens. The reason there's so much reeeing about this in western reporting is that there's nothing functionally inappropriate about what PRC is doing since it's just words and actual consquences are happening on PRC soil.
Has Mosh crypto been reviewed? Last I checked they were using some custom crypto on top of UDP instead of using something like DTLS or QUIC. Given SSH is one of the most battle tested protocols out there I am wary of replacing it with something else.
No idea, I heard it was a multi year problem though.

Lots. for one the fact that companies can buy up huge parts of the spectrum for "future use" and sit on it for decades denying access for innovation.

It's not a bug. It's an architectural defect / limitation in our understanding of how to build AI. That makes it a strictly harder problem that will take longer. And it's not totally clear to me that you'll get there purely with LLMs. LLMs accomplish a good chunk of what we classify as intelligence for sure. But it's missing the cognition / reasoning skills and the open question is whether you can solve that by just bolting on more techniques into the LLM or you need a totally different kind of model that you can marry to an LLM.
> I don't see many details about the sandboxing/hermetic build story in the docs, [...]

Looks like local mode just inherits whatever environment the buck daemon was spawned in.

The remote execution thing is configured with a docker image to run things in, and only specified files are coped into the container instance, so it's somewhat hermetic. Docker containers aren't really reproducible, and there's only one image per remote execution backend, so that's kinda the weakest link (especially compared to something like Nix's hermetic builds, where the build-visible filesystem only contains the things you declared as dependencies).
He clearly shows up...
I worked at Accenture as an MD for several years, primarily on innovation and transformation programs. I have plenty to say about them, but I think the key driving factor for all of the grift and awful performance has a lot to do with how they operate, which is to sell in a big program, then pull a switcheroo and try and pack a project with as many low-paid MBAs as possible – kids straight out of college tasked with a (thin slice) of a major strategic program, or find some sub to farm it out to at a really low price.

Since going out on my own as a consultant – focused on the same sort of growth programs, as opposed to audit – I generally find that I can achieve the same outcomes for a client with a handful of people on a a reasonable budget.

I left primarily because it's just bonkers how much pork these big consultancies manage to get away with packing on, to the point where it was a major reputation risk to me.

I'd encourage any CXOs out there seeking to outsource major strategic initiatives to consider hiring individuals or smaller entrepreneurs with experience inside the bigs, but without the downward pressure to get as many butts in seats as possible.

Here’s a counter example: going public. The SEC does a deep probe, one that has material teeth, and “yes” isn’t a conclusion. Surely the SEC is subject to these forces? Another example is merger approval, along antitrust and other regulations. This is a very deep process, clearly with a lot of extremely powerful money on the line. Or another, tax collection. Fact is there’s actually a lot of examples of effective controls on business, especially when financial crimes or malfeasance are the target. The laws are particularly sharp in the finance world compared to say, food safety or other regulatory areas that are clearly captured.
Perhaps also a strong sense of duty and shame - after skipping one lesson they are too embarrassed to show up again. Each successive failure to respond deepens the embarrassment, making facing the instructor again an unthinkably difficult task.

Ben Ferencz: last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor dies aged 103
That's not true. There's no magical bat-signal that only Japanese people can read, and there are lots of contexts that even Japanese people talk about as ridiculously subtle to the point of fiendishness (funny example: I think it's at Bishamon-do temple in Kyoto, where there's a room that was used to "greet" guests who had no chance of meeting with anyone of importance -- the way you "knew" this was because the fusuma paintings all had subtle errors, like animals out of season for the scene. You were just allowed to sit there until you got the message. Obviously this is historical, but it's hilariously "Kyoto", which is itself known across Japan for being maddeningly indirect. The meta-point is that they describe this during the audio tour of the temple, and Japanese people are always amused by how subtle it is.)

The primary "you need to understand this" difference about Japan rejection, IME, is that Japanese people readily accept anything other than an explicit yes as a clear no. Your average westerner tends to be really delusional about this, and the even the ones who accept it (like the author, apparently) are still hurt when it happens. Like, this sentence:

> “I’m sick today. I can’t make the lesson. I’ll contact you later”

Is practically a cliché of a Japanese rejection. This is a country where people will show up to an obligation half-dead, and absolutely never cancel something important at the last minute. If someone flakes on you with an excuse of sickness -- particularly if they don't apologize PROFUSELY and attempt to reschedule -- just accept that it's done. Anyone who has been in the country more than a few weeks has experienced this, and you'd have to be willfully obtuse not to pick it up.

(to be clear: I don't think OP is being obtuse. I think she's venting for catharsis, which is fine.)

The YIMBY crowd basically boils down to "do whatever you want, I don't care, just don't stop me doing what I want". More basically, "government regulation bad, capitalism good". which happens to be one of the Republican party's main platform points (in theory, but only when it suits their own goals). The YIMBY crowd doesn't want to tear down your house, it wants to let YOU tear down your house and build something more profitable in its place.
I greatly enjoy building in Maui. By weird chance my first programming gig was in UWP and it’s a pleasure to be working in C# .NET again, able to build UIs with xaml and dynamically out of the code, but with a bigger prospective audience than “people who install uwp apps.”

That said, I’m only playing with it right now - I’m doing some weekend projects hacking against LLM APIs and it’s a great way to stand up a simple app quickly that runs on my phone and debugs at the computer and could theoretically one day be on the mobile app stores. But I would tentatively agree with other replies that it might be a little early for commercial adoption. I haven’t encountered any show-stopping bugs or limitations yet, but at the same time when researching for troubleshooting and bug fixing I will find git issues that were resolved less than a year ago for things like images not displaying on android. The built-in MediaElement for video playing only just came out and doesn’t support true full screen playback yet.

The other factor from it being new is just the lack of community discourse about it. The docs are great but you’re not going to find many discussion on git and SO about it yet, and the search space is cluttered with results about Xamarin.Forms that are sometimes relevant and sometimes completely not. So IMO that means people should give it a try! But maybe hack on it first before committing to shipping commercial software.

Has MS released a commercial/production app built on Maui yet? Are they eating their own dogfood?
It still targets the browser though, so you still get all the complexities anyway, just without well supported syntax. Idk man I like Rust but this doesn't seem like the right way here.

I'm a Union diesel mechanic and I've seen this before. Its an undercut strategy used by companies who have lost a union battle but don't understand what that means, so they're told by consultants that if they just piss hard enough in the union cheerios people will see the difference and give up their membership. Sometimes they do it to undercut new membership but its been my experience unions often unintentionally make the membership bar pretty hard to begin with.

Ultimately the union bargains for benefits above and beyond what companies already give their non union employees. The tactic winds up putting some companies over the barrel during union negotiations sometimes as it means whatever we win gets extended to an already well compensated non union workforce.

Thank a union carpenter for your 40 hour work week ;)
It's really weird to me that we now have research papers dedicated to exploring the emergent behavior of systems that other people built, but where the researchers can only speculate about what the builders actually did to build the thing. "Open" AI indeed.
