No I didn't. I've been working with UCR data for 10+ years and I recognize it in the wild. Furthermore, my points still stands regardless of the source: "there is no dataset that will allow you to reliably rank every 'major city' by crime stats because every city reports crime differently and no crime dataset also accounts for factors which may affect those statistics."

If you know where their source data comes from and why its so accurate, feel free to educate me. Their own site says this:

> Q. Why rank cities on safety even though the FBI cautions against it?

> A. This report and/or our data cannot and should not be used as a measure of the effectiveness of law enforcement due to the myriad factors that can contribute to crime in a community.

I'd assume they're not concerned about further leaks from this individual A.) if they've already identified him and have been monitoring him, and B.) he realizes the gravity of his situation and is spooked, resulting in him not leaking anything else since this story blew up.

It would be on other bodies (correct me if I'm wrong) to review and adjust the internal practices around the handling of confidential documents, and how this can be prevented moving forward.

Edit: Aaaaaaand he's in custody.
It's unlikely that OSS LLMs will ever be able to compete with corporate LLMs. I can only think of a few scenarios where this could work:

1. Someone develops a procedure for training models with distributed computing resources, including consumer CPUs and GPUs. Even this is not really guaranteed to work, since corporations will probably just buy up all the consumer GPUs, since they are cheaper on a FLOPS/$ metric.

2. One or more governments provide a lot of funding for OSS models, including being willing to pay competitive salaries for the best talent (potentially millions of dollars per year). This is unlikely for a lot of reasons. The only thing that could speed up the process enough to compete with private organizations is a major war that required AI to win. In that case, though, open source would be the least of their concern.

3. Scaling laws stop working and Moore's law catches up. In that case adding more compute won't really help and eventually even organizations with small budgets can afford to train a SOTA LLM. We can't know until we find the limit, but we haven't hit the limit of scaling laws so far, despite scaling up massively over the last few years, so I doubt we will find the limit any time soon.

4. A bunch of corporations that have no hope of reaching first place decide to combine their resources to beat OpenAI and thus prevent a monopoly. I'm not sure if there is precedent, but even if there is, that would still require a lot of coordination and resources for little direct monetary gain.

We'll see what happens, but I'm not really confident about any of these possibilities.
this is really not true. Poverty is correlated with crime, but the magnitude of this correlation is quite small. Portugal is very safe and very poor compared to most of the US
> Emacs is an operating system

Reminds me of an old joke: "Emacs would be a great OS, if only it came with a decent text editor..."
No, we shouldn't arbitrarily cut off millions of people from communication because some westerners have bought into a new red scare. That's ridiculous and childish.

> I think for non-work-qualifying degrees, it's marginal. Obviously a doctor who is on the wards during his training needs that training. Or a lawyer who needs to pass exams to even call himself that.

My point is not that a degree makes you work-ready.

It's that "it shows you can shop up, on time and perform reasonably" is too incorrect to be a useful argument. All degrees shows that, but some only show that while others show that the graduate in that specific degree will perform better than others (or graduates of other degrees).

It's a popular idea that a degree only shows commitment, but it's a wrong idea. Only humanities degrees show just commitment. Financial, Medical, Engineering and Law degrees show commitment as well as indicate a level of willingness to engage with more difficult problems.

> The aforementioned jew-hating racist...

You keep saying that, but nothing written in the source doesn't go that far. The closest it comes is to say he made a video where he yelled "a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera...," but there's no other context. Saying stuff like that certainly indicates he almost certainly rejects modern liberal identity politics, but it's quite possible he's was just being tastelessly edgy and transgressive for his friends, and nothing presented disconfirms that possibility (though I can't watch the videos through the paywall bypass). I'd expect if it was clear he was a "jew-hating racist" the article would have outright said he was.

> ...who has made these accusations has presented zero evidence, despite theoretically having a position, security clearance, means and motive.

The accussation was reported secondhand (OG -> interviewee -> journalist). As far as I can tell, this "OG" guy is probably on run or getting ready to be arrested. Proving that claim (apparently made some time in the past) is probably the farthest thing from his mind right now.

This is known as a false dichotomy. Perhaps, instead, we can think of other things which are more agreeable than either of these.

I don't think that their choice to keep their server software proprietary is baffling. They're going to architect it so that it's easiest/best for their team to run which is not the same what's easiest/best for EVERYONE to run as is the typical goal of open source software.
Whilst a lot of comments focus on death, I think it's important to also think about the benefits of treating the diseases of aging, such a cognitive decline.

I'm sure most people have seen their parents or grand-parents decline cognitively. This is sad for the individual, the family and also effects society by draining resources. Any research that can mitigate this is worthwhile in my opinion.

And also direction of change. Not all change is for the better.

The 911 call data was for an address, he likely linked said address to tax data to get the property owner then did LinkedIn
search. Additionally could have used arrest data. 911 and arrest in my city don’t have names but by linkage via methods named it’s possible.

At most he used a radius for the 911 call to check possible names, and had a contact at SFPD or the courts to confirm once he had a name.

We'd love to help you all deploy this!

1. We just released a couple models that are much smaller (https://huggingface.co/databricks/dolly-v2-6-9b), and these should be much easier to run on commodity hardware in a reasonable amount of time.

2. Regarding this particular issue, I suspect something is wrong with the setup. The example is generating a little over 100 words, which probably is something like 250 tokens. 12 minutes makes no sense for that if you're running on a modern GPU. I'd love to see details on which GPU was selected - I'm unfamiliar with which modern GPU has 30GB of memory (A10 is 24GB, T4 is 16GB, and A100 is 40/80GB). Are you sure you're using a version of PyTorch that installs CUDA correctly?

3. We have seen single GPU inference work in 8-bit on the A10, so I'd suggest that as a followup

This discussion was about the idea that people who have some minor level of distrust of the government would likely make better laws because they would build in protections and not assume the people in power would be benign. Another commenter posted that the individual in this article would likely not fit that model as their comments indicate there are specific groups they would oppress if given the power.

These points are important to investigate what kinds of people should be working in various capacities of government to prevent leaks, abuses of power, etc - which is related to the article.

Yeah, I know what he meant. But I'm not a big fan of taking ownership of everything that's fucked up in the planet and make it personal. These are local effects that I as a European have nothing to do with. Fishers in China and California are the problem. We have our own problems where I'm not even part of that are enough. I dislike the trend to globalize local problems and taking ownership of everything.
Yeah, because it isn't required to facilitate the functional understanding of rough time (>=1s/tick) intervals.

I understood how perceiving numerical values in various bases is useful, just not how it applies to the post.
>the only solution to safely not leak your API key is to have your app only communicate with a backend you own and call the openAI from there.

Don't you still have the same problem? Your backend would also require a key for the client to communicate, which would still be embedded in the client binary.
> you agreed that you'd give up your right to do those things.

I dispute that I agreed to any such thing.

> McLuhan argues that there is value for FOSS in FSF remaining independent and "radical".

I didn't say the opposite. My point is that the FSF shouldn't be so sure they are the most radical out there. People more radical than them also criticize them. It's easy dismissing critics by saying they come from people with somehow "compromised" opinions, but it doesn't address any of the critics.
Same. The minute I read he was wandering about at 230am on a weekday I knew something was fishy. Despite how much reactionary tough-on-crime dorks want you to feel - homeless people rarely commit random murders of non homeless people.

Then like you said - the minute I found out he was in crypto I was 100% convinced he was murdered by someone he knew. Not in any conspiracy view like the feds did it because his company was "too dangerous" to FedNow or something. But because a significant portion of people in crypto are unhinged.
Yeah you can try obfuscating it, but in general you need to assume plain text access to anything you send the client.

The only exceptions are basically some really hardcore DRM like denuvo and hardware certificated drm. Even those aren't safe from deteremined people.

This is an interesting concept since researchers really aren’t sure how consciousness in humans and animals even happens. We just don’t know.

> Abstractions can be beautiful, but they are ephemeral, changeable, unreal

Where can we find 'no abstractions' these days? Even if you write in ASM, there will be tons of abstractions. Instructions will run out of order. Memory is abstracted. Even the ASM you write will be translated to microcode.

The closest you'll ever find to 'the physical reality of a machine' are microcontrollers (and even then, only some of them) and machines from the 80s. I have one sitting right next to me that I can tell you exactly how many cycles every CPU instruction takes.

Everything else is an abstraction. C abstracts a machine that doesn't exist(it was closer to machines that did exist at the time it was created). Even something as simple as a short circuit expression in your IF statement is an abstraction. Even in C you have to sometimes fight the abstractions when you are trying to, say, use caches effectively.
That would be a pretty awesome installation at Universal Studios.

But I guess making it not say offensive things might be a problem… or not, depending on the character.
> we did was analyze what happens when Podman starts a container and why it takes so long. It turns out there was a lot of low-hanging fruit.

I've done this analysis for lots of software before, Windows has a really nice tool called Process Monitor that I've used to find huge slow downs before. Point it at a process and it'll tell you the every bit of IO that the application does, and at that point you can just start digging and opening bugs.

IMHO almost every piece of software of any significant size horribly misbehaves. Opening the same file again and again, writing out lots of tiny temp files, reading the same key from the registry (or some config file) over and over again , and worst of all, using fixed timeouts waiting for a task to complete instead of doing the work to make things properly event based.

On that last note, timeouts instead of event callbacks (or some sort of signaling system) is the cause of so much slowness across our entire industry. If something you are doing on a computer takes a human noticable amount of time, and you aren't throwing around tens of GBs of data or waiting on a slow network, then you are flat out doing something wrong.
Totally untrue. Look at the VC money flowing to EU these days.
You could probably remove the OpenAI qualifier from this finding, but I guess it makes it more relevant.
It's all about whatever world view or narrative makes us feel emotionally comfy these days. Calling Detroit, Baltimore and Miami war zones makes a lot of people out there feel emotionally comfortable. (And also illustrates how many of us are, fortunately, completely unfamiliar with actual war zones.)

I wouldn't put too much weight in those kinds of comments.
Let's go over what I said:

io_uring remaps a contiguous chunk of pages in both the kernel and userspace vas.

This is a true statement - io_uring makes a compound page and calls remap into the usersapce vas in mmap, and I did not say that the pages were kernel or userspace page. However, you've said "userspace pages" in your own argument which by your own admonition is incorrect. You are correct in saying that pages are just pages, because a page is just a chunk of physical addresses assigned to a pfn and has no meaning in userspace or kernel space without a vma.

There is a difference between kernel and userspace mappings, and mapping userspace virtual address to point to direct mapped kernel addresses that the kernel is manipulating is dangerous and there are many CVEs that have taken advantage of these types of command buffers on other kernels.

> why do we never factor gun violence into these conversations about safety

Because it doesn't particularly matter if you are robbed, hurt, or killed by a gun, knife, bat, or fists.

(And when looking at stats, remember: over half of gun deaths in the U.S. are self-inflicted. Which is still tragic, but different than assault.)
It's not even so much as database access as it was more likely a leak from on premises. AFAIK the leaked documents were photographs of physical printouts (they had visible creases in them).

China's internet is neither global nor free (and on the flip side, the global and free (mostly-free?) internet of the world is not generally accessible in China. That's not a particularly strong argument against the GP's point.
If you mean monitor TCP from the OS rather than in a HTTP client, then IPTraf-NG [1] should fit the requirement. It is available in most Linux repositories.

Another way to see some statistics would be to front-end the application with HAProxy [2] and pull the stats from it. HAProxy is also available in most Linux repositories. This is probably closest to the mock API server as you describe. The default statistics page shows session rates vs. packet rates but this could be used in conjunction with IPTraf-NG. [3] HAProxy can forward Layer 4 TCP connections or Layer 7 HTTP connections. Stats can be pulled from the command line. Rate limits can be set by IP, unique sessions using cookies and target URL. As a side note, HAProxy's lead developer is a member of HN. [4]

You can find stories online about content writers and what not being replaced but ones that I personally know of are a lot of minor art roles in game development being replaced.

> This is not true, and it would be a very dangerous place to snorkel there.

For some reason people have the idea that truth is something ChatGPT optimizes for. Or safety of its conversant. That is absolutely not the case. IIUC, it optimizes for its answers sounding like an answer someone might give in a conversation (or on a web page or whatever). That often coincides with truth and safety, but - no more than that.

But its confidence was scary.
> The concept that you simply cannot watch a show or movie if you haven't paid for it is genuinely foreign to many people

I'm certainly not arguing otherwise. However, I am arguing that things like YouTube-DL have legal and legitimate uses. Assuming that even its primary use is for piracy is a pretty huge assumption.
I think there's a notable difference though, the baltic states may be ethnic nationalists... but they're established nations. And sure, while they could claim to be white nationalists... they do not seem to want to make that association.

White nationalism universally seeks to carve out its own space at the expense of others. It's impossible to engage with the ideology without associating with violence.
There's two concerns: "can I run it myself", and "what does this security-critical third-party code do?"
