> It required tricking a trusted human to work.

That's what I thought. Until I thought a bit more.

Firstly he didn't fool the trusted human into doing anything they weren't already doing anyway. I don't see anyone being tricked.

Secondly, a lot of exploits depend on someone doing, unprompted, something they really didn't ought to do. I mean, if you rule out as an exploit anthing that simply depends on people not taking active measures against an attack they didn't know about, there's not a lot left.

I don't think Goo should have paid out, though; there's no vulnerability shown in any Google software, whether a product or an internal tool. It looks to me like a pip vuln that $TRUSTED_HUMAN could and should have evaded.
What do you mean by "banished" and what was the comment?
Yes an electron is a “quantized vibration” of a quantum field (the electron field). The vibration is quantized in the sense that you can only turn on the amplitude of vibration in discrete clicks, not in a continuous way. Two clicks would be two electrons.

Such a quantized vibration has all the properties of a particle: it has a certain mass, it has a certain momentum, it has a certain angular momentum, and when you look at it in another frame of reference, all these quantities transform just as would a particle’s. And, when you “perform a position measurement” it shows up as a single dot. If you don’t do a position measurement it spends most of its time quantum superposition of states of definite position; hence the “cloud” aspect.
Well, just like in every other case where acting to prevent something will avoid that something to happen. Accident prevention, quit smoking to avoid cancers, vaccines against a pandemic etc etc
Not everybody who's coding is doing it in a tech company on a complex multiple-person team project. I'm a software mechanic: I do really small scale tweaks for small businesses (I mean SMALL - my current project is for a business with one owner and 2 employees), non-profits, libraries, etc.

In those use cases, there can be good business reasons to do things this way: Part of my current project is building something where odds are there won't be another tech person around regularly and it needs to last for several years (the information is evergreen). For something I want to run for 8+ years with minimum fuss that doesn't require storing user data and that may need to be ported from LMS to LMS or eCommerce platform to eCommerce platform/won't be broken by updates (because again, no regular dev to maintain it and check compatibility), using basic HTML, CSS, and even vanilla JS can make sense. I can write something in HTML/CSS/vanilla JS and it will probably run in browsers until the heat death of the universe.
Depends on the car. For instance some BMWs will offer the hud now, but not all. And for the maps in the dials that’s only Apple Maps and no other nav software. So yeah it’s not perfect at all, but I’ll still take this over a cars standard navigation system

The image was submitted digitally, so if it was originally antique, there would be a digitization stage, scanner or camera.

It’s what comes out of the process of pushing things into piles. Once functions are factored nicely, patterns emerge. You see different ways of combining things that make more sense. Abstractions that were muddy and confused become clear. You see where duplication exists and how to eliminate it. An elegant structure emerges. But to enjoy it requires creative energy. I suppose that to me, making code readable for others is inherently interesting work. I enjoy finding the clearest and most succinct way to express an idea. Maybe if you approach it that way, you could find the interesting aspect in it.
After reading for a bit I'm totally lost. I'm what sense does this "foundation" own the programming language rust and/or wield control over it?

Humans are not cattle.
From just the headline, I expected this question was going to lament the "wasteful" coding practices of mobile apps and pine of the days of hand-tuned, low footprint software. So, I was all set to point out that smartphones with multiple cores, GBs of RAM and storage, high speed networking, and massive screen resolutions are nothing like 80s computers. These things aren't even as limited as computers from the mid-2000s!

But, as others have mentioned in various posts, I think the answer to the question of BASIC REPLs has multiple angles.

First, most early 80s computers did not boot straight to a programming REPL either. As soon as you had some kind of disk operating system you ended up in a shell and would have to invoke a BASIC interpreter or other programming environment if you wanted it. As far as I can tell, the feature threshold was having enough storage to make multiple programs persistently available. That was true across CP/M, MS-DOS, and Apple computers. Then, when they added GUIs, the shell became some kind of GUI menu instead of a CLI. With more storage, you get more built-in apps and less emphasis on a "blank machine" ready to take custom code.

After decades of this growth of storage, a smartphone is really not marketed as a general purpose compute platform. It still has more than vestigial "communications appliance" characteristics and is morphing into "cloud appliance". There is a feedback loop where vendors are marketing an integrated experience that sets the expectation for the next round of products too. And at the mass market volumes they are reaching, economies of scale mean that this approach is targeted towards the largest consumer markets.

It's almost fractal, but the cloud applications themselves are going through the same kind of shift. The commercial pressures are to create ever more integrated experiences for the mass-market user. It is a niche interest to want a general purpose platform where lots of capabilities are available, but the integrated whole is absent and waiting for a new custom program to be entered. Most consumers don't want the device or app that lacks this complete solution, and vendors don't want to provide all the infrastructure and then have some other party come in and claim all the value-add experience that is most visible to the paying customers.
It's reasonable to assume that the Asian Market will be dominant going forward. So switching early to it should pay off. Should they win this war, they can boast about keeping their culture intact, distinct identity, and being free of US influence. They might gain territory and warm water ports too.
>> Do you not have any respect for people who actually spent their time and creativity to provide the information necessary for this model to even work?

The worrying is legit and cute but let's face that at this moment no one is giving a f.

All we see are people worried that all the AI agents will take their jobs and/or how to make money out of that.
Jonathan Blow just tweeted:

"Something to understand, about all the excitement around AI and how fast things seem to be moving...

This is what computers in general used to feel like, across the board. New cool stuff was happening all the time in all sectors. This started slowing down in maybe 1994, maybe more in 2004, but people who remember, remember.

I was listening to the latest All In Podcast, where they were breathlessly talking about how ChatGPT was going to super change every aspect of everything (some plausible, some not), and I was just thinking, "It's like it is 1992 and I am reading an issue of Mondo 2000."

But the contract itself is also sold by a monopolist. The sandwiches have to pay for rent somehow.

In the end you can extract X amount of money from all the passengers and that gets split between the landlord and the vendor.

So it's not just that the vendor has a monopoly, if they didn't have a monopoly there would still be some amount they'd pay in rent for the captive audience.

It’s the same as beer. Light degrades the beer or oil. My olive oil research says a lot of cheap oils are already going rancid by the time you buy them. Very good quality bill oils, like Costco’s EVOO, will go rancid before you can use it all.

Why can’t companies pay fair wages and share part of the profits with employees?

It’s very rare to see companies actually doing this. They usually don’t at all, and when they do it’s often so vague that the bonus is basically entirely at the superior’s discretion with no tangible basis.

I think it’s fair that the people who risked the most to create the company get a significant chunk of the profit but why should employees be reduced to leftover crumbs in the best case and typically nothing at all beyond their poorly negotiated salaries that didn’t track inflation over the years?

In a good year there is profit to spread around anyway, bad years there is nothing extra.

I don’t know how that would work in our insane industry through where it’s a valid business model to hemorrhage money for years (decades even) without any real path to profitability. But I’m sure we can find a solution, as founders rarely live in poverty past a certain company size.

And I’m not talking about the joke that equity is in most cases where it’s barely worth the paper it’s granted on.
Awesome how they shaped the authors their names into a heart
Look for the Trusted Computing Platform and the Consortium.

There is a sibling here talking about it being a conspiracy theory, but it was an official organization, with many published technical documents, that had the explicit goal of removing the user's rights to manage their own computers.

If you're the contract negotiator, finding a single company that won't complain about the kickbacks you ask for is easier than finding a bunch of them, right? And what's the point of working for the Port Authority if you're not going to be corrupt? This is the agency that snarled traffic in the town of a mayor that wouldn't endorse a candidate of the opposite political party, mostly just for the lulz. Predictably, the structure of the Port Authority ensures that nobody can ever be held accountable, and indeed, nobody was.

From the article,

> In the late 1980s, when Thomas was an official in the George H.W. Bush administration, he listed the addresses of the three properties in a disclosure filing. He reported that he had a one-third interest in them.

Unless you're saying that he perjured himself in the 80s, it's hard to see how he'd end up with a $1 stake without triggering a necessary disclosure.
> I am sorry, didn't want to offend anybody.

Calling out your need to put down others with petty, frivolous details to feel better about youself and your insecurities/frustrations is not an issue of offense. You're contributing to shut down an otherwise interesting discussion just because you feel the need to elevate yourself at the expense of others.

> But this is obvious for a trained eye, which a professional must have.

The fact is that you're clearly wrong, as demonstrated by this contest and the fact that the AI generated image was awarded the top prize by its jury.

Your only counterclaim is that you portray yourself as better than others without reason or substance, and in the process tried to make it about you and elevate yourself at the expense of others by spreading baseless accusations of incompetence.

Again, this says more about you than AI generated content and those who evaluate it, and this discussion is really not about you.
"An AI assistant that lets you talk with your documentation."

This is a nice opening for me to say something in a positive way instead of a negative way: I'm more interested in this sort of thing than some of the other uses of the LLMs.

Consider the use case I've seen bandied about of "This will automatically take your commit and write commit messages!" This is useless to me... but not because of the "but it will lack insight" sorts of reasons. That may be true, but that only makes it less useful, it doesn't remove the use. The reason why I call this useless is, I have no need for the output to live in a commit message. I can take any commit I like, even a commit that already has a commit message, and feed it into a summarizer. In fact if I do it three or four years from now, it'll probably be even better, on the same input.

Taking fixed inputs, just throwing an LLM at it, and recording the output somewhere, is not a useful use to me, because there's no compelling reason for me to do that today when I could even more easily do it on demand, later.

Now, ingesting my documentation (or perhaps even my raw source code) and answering the question I have right now is valuable to me, right now. Maybe in three years the system will be even better, but I have a question right now.

In general, I'd suggest that any startup looking at adapting LLMs look carefully at any place their system involves storing the output of the LLMs somewhere persistent. Marketing fluff, well, I may have personal distaste for that use, but it's a case where it clearly makes sense. Autogenerated documentation for filling in a Wiki suffers from the same problem I'm outlining here.
It's not different in any way. "Corporation doesn't like it when you do it" is apparently the number one cause of "trouble". Especially in the US where they can bankrupt you with legal fees even if they have no actual leg to stand on. Less so in other countries.

Probably true of a lot of things. Food, theatre, art generally... Well-executed versions of something they've seen a million times before just isn't all that interesting.
That's not the case in the majority of the United States, though it mostly is elsewhere.
It's an old narrative to justify mass surveillance even in the most irrelevant of places. I remember when the FBI said that Al-Qaeda was communicating through video games to stage terror attacks, which was obviously a load of steaming bullshit.
It's like that in local shipping, too. Customers need shit shipped, and they need it NOW, and big rainmaker accounts will absolutely get the red carpet treatment. Shipping firm account reps are middlemen in this arrangement, and work on commission, so are strongly incentivized to do whatever it takes to make their big customers happy.

If your customer who is responsible for $200,000/year of your take-home commission is screaming at you, and you could get them what they want with a bribe to the trucking company's rep, you have a pretty strong incentive to pay it.

Which is why prosecuting people for corruption is important. Everyone would be doing it, otherwise.
I would be surprised if there was an "industry" without kickbacks.
Yes. They own much of the infrastructure used by the project, and fund some of the people managing said infrastructure. In addition to the trademark.
Yes, the thing that has happened, as mentioned in the article, is the treating of ones neighbors, and indeed ones own people, as criminals at the border.
Actually, to be a bit more clear, let's say you are well compensated and a $100 bill is worth 99 USD to pick up excluding outside factors. You would calculate in USD 99 - (expected loss from ambush|picked up + expected loss from arrest|picked up + expected loss from police harassment|picked up + expected loss from mob|picked up + expected loss from lawsuit|picked up + expected loss from stress|picked up + ...). I guess at that point the stress from doing the situational analysis and calculation is sunk, so you should pick up the bill if the previous calculation gives a dollar value above 0. I personally would just quickly put on gloves and check for possible ambush scenarios, and then just pick it up. If you do the full calculation at the time, someone else might get it before you. If you do most of it ahead of time, you can commit to the likely optimal decision. You need to calculate the value of your time and the value of your life in US dollars, taking into account that inflation may not work how you intuitively think it does.
You're right. I myself don't care either, but not because I don't understand how it happened. I don't because there is nothing I can say or do that would make OpenAI suddenly change their direction.
If Twitter were a MUD though, no one would consider financial status to gain favors in the world. Or even map physical to digital.
