It doesn’t say that the guidelines require disclosing the research, it just states a preference for it, and point 4 doesn’t say that research could not be withheld, it simply states that withholding it is the only way to prevent “unethical” use of the research.

The bigger problem with this approach is that it’s simply not science. Science doesn’t involve prescribing a correct “ethical” interpretation of your research findings. Science doesn’t involve cultural and ethical overseers ensuring that your findings fit within some moral framework. What happens when the findings themselves are deemed unethical? They will be withheld from publication? They will be used to influence public policy without any opportunity for public scrutiny? They will have a correct interpretation prescribed for them that caries the weight of scientific fact?

If I convinced an ethics committee that locality violations were unethical, it would not be science for me to publish research that said my findings could not possibly be used to support quantum non-locality, or that my findings don’t actually reveal locality violations for ethical reasons, and that this interpretation is the only scientifically correct one. Using ethics to define an experiment is one thing, but involving ethical considerations in the research process, and the interpretation of your findings is simply anti-scientific.

As long as cyclists are forced to share the road with cars they should get a say when it comes to car safety, especially when it comes to properties of cars that make them more dangerous to cyclists and others on the road.

Also worth pointing out that most cyclists are also car drivers.

The fact is that cars have been getting way bigger and heavier and don’t actually need to. And speaking of families, as someone with young kids, pickup trucks these days are especially scary.

i believe these now make up the majority of the elite white liberals.

Looks like one particular party is a beneficiary and drafter of immigration policy.

> But that doesn’t mean they necessarily support the social and cultural rituals around race advanced by white liberals,

What about black professors and activists like Ibram Kendi? Blacks appear to support racial quotas in respect to Prop 16. White liberals are certainly part of it, but not all of it. I don't see any reason to say that black elites are being led by whites and not speaking on their own accord. Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago, is a good example of a radical race activist. He was most popular in areas with highest black population and won the black community by the widest margin. That suggests that radical agendas are not just shared by white liberals but have support in the black community.

> Racial preferences, and similar policies such as “diversity requirements” (i.e. quotas) are a core approach for white liberals that most minorities reject.

If there was really such opposition to racial quotas and other racial preferences, why do they continue to support the party who puts race at the center of everything they do? Several attempts recently have been made at establishing quotas for medicine, grants, etc. but challenged in court. This was no surprise. It's contradictory to support that party especially since the party seems to focus particularly on black issues and expects other non white people to act along.
Sounds like “the ends justify the means” to me.

Well, the “ends” have consequences. I find it funny that the side so hellbent on calling everyone else “fascist” is the first to employ the definition of fascism (merger of state and corporate power) to enforce censorship on others.

If you’re (other) and just want to be left alone then you better start vocally separating yourself from the mainstream “community” and their jackboot tactics now, because the backlash is coming (due to said tactics) and it’s going to overspray unless mitigated now.
yeah 2-door is a weird place to draw the line. I had a 2003 Ford Focus 4-door, and while it wasn't tiny, it was fairly compact. Meanwhile Plymouth used to make a 2-door midsized station wagon (the Suburban, not to be confused with the Chevy SUV of the same name, came in both 2- and 4-door versions).
> They can't prove it is not the data

Encryption is the one-to-one mapping of a set of bytes to a set of bytes. Software + key is the mapping function. When doing cryptographic forensics you don't use the user's software, you use your own.

So proving that the user's decryption program is fake is trivial and may not even come up as you wouldn't bother running it.

And you can't choose keys in a way that would alter the byte mapping in a way that you can control, the true key will map to the true data, and anything else will map to random bytes.

This makes sense but this transforms the costs of using vehicle into a sunk cost for owners, which encourages using the vehicles as much as possible to spread the cost out. I generally think we should prioritize increasing the cost of using vehicles instead of owning them (such as by registration fee), such as parking fees, tolls, and gas tax.
A linear rate seems high but is actually a steal for heavy vehicles, road damage follows the fourth power of axle weight.

> In the case of Reddit I won’t cry for them, but it’s a protection mesure? Like stackoverflow closing it’s api to avoid being siphoned completely.

IIRC, it's not a protection measure. They now realize the data has value, so they want to sell it to people training AI models. That won't work if they keep giving it away for free.
But why should we do something to fix the problem of increasing vehicle sizes at all when we could just do nothing and resign ourselves to the objectively awful status quo instead? After all if you change something, someone somewhere is going to be negatively impacted. Can’t have that.
That was when they decided the 2016 election could never be allowed to happen again, and “liberal” folks decided free speech (rather hilariously in a dark way) was a “danger to democracy”.

They then proceeded to call anyone who disagreed with this sentiment a “Russian bot”. I remember getting banned from certain subreddits just because I was guilty of the crime of posting in r/TheDonald (not even voicing support!)
Medical doctors spend a lot of time and money in med school and residency. They have malpractice risk, and perform more essential work like saving lives and improving people’s health, your health. Working a hospital especially in the ED is stressful. No stock options, rsu grants.

Tech workers on the other hand, say engineers, can easily get a high paying FAANG job without a 4yr degree - just spending time grinding leetcode or a coding bootcamp. Not to mention the RSUs, office perks like free lunches, WFH, on site laundry and daycare, flexible time off, no set work hours… come on

I ran into a situation where a graded component of a course required buying the textbook by the lecturer. It involved an online testing service through a company owned by the lecturer. I raised a complaint with the university pointing out it was against policy along with the conflict of interest, was forced to transfer to a section led by another lecturer (same course, different textbook, considerably worse lecturer), and the university never bothered doing anything about it.
One time a single student clapped a few times at the end of my one of my TA sessions, and it really made my day!

I was a TA for many classes during my Physics PhD program, and this bit of clapping was a singular occurrence, in the middle of the semester. I’ve never been a course lecturer though, that was always for faculty.
The systemic suppression and censorship on Reddit is overwhelming. It's not limited to a few "communities", it's the entire system.

Data scientist/activist Robert Hawkins has been working at quantifying the degree for which Reddit attempts to manipulate opinions globally. https://twitter.com/rhaksw (See his Youtube explainer about work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCadmiIfbcI)

I'd hope after Snowden we'd know better. It's painful to see the same old tricks working so well.
Similarly, consider a series like A Song of Ice and Fire. A human reader is still consciously aware of (and waiting for) the answers to questions raised in the very first book. This is millions of tokens ago, and that's if our brains turn off when not reading the books.

I think this highlights a hurdle on the path to more human-like AGI. We keep track of so much stuff for very long periods of time, albeit perhaps with some loss of fidelity.

My guess is that there will need to be an advancement or two before we can can get an AI to read all of the ASIOF books so far and ask "What really happened at the Tower of Joy?"

> Professional licensure would be great. The whole union thing is for people lower in the pay scale.

Maybe, but in my view unionising is the first step on the way to establishing something similar to what doctors or lawyers or accountants have.

I don't think it is possible to get to "Certified Professional Software Engineer" without first having "Union of Accredited Software Developers".

And therein lies the biggest problem in establishing Professional Licensure: you cannot allow uncertified members. The medical, accounting, engineering and legal professions gatekeep like mad, with the first gate being "complete this degree or equivalent", and the second gate being "write these exams", with various smaller hurdles after that (malpractice insurance, annual dues, etc).

I'd love professional licensure in our industry, but it's not going to happen.
"Putrid and inbred" correctly describes the DRM scheme. The game underneath that crud was trying to go way more in-depth by building a sim game out of an RTS engine. They wanted to, say, have Sims in your SimCity actually drive to work and back and get stuck in traffic jams. Problem is, the average computer in 2013 couldn't actually handle simulating that many units. This isn't inbreeding, this is being overambitious.

I’m glad you point out that this is specifically a problem in cities. Most people I’ve seen on HN advocating for reducing cars make the astronomically out-of-touch arguments about how buses will come get us countryfolk and that “private transport is a luxury”, as if we’d be able to do what we need to productively without it.

Sure, with the anti-consumer construction of modern cars, and the unfortunate difficulties of sourcing old car parts, we’d love to be less car-reliant. It’s just not feasible for us though, and never will be.

I don't need or want more than 2 doors. I want a small car. A big reason for this is that I also have a very small garage. My condo is also very small, so having a bit of extra storage space in there that isn't taken up by a car, is very useful.

Also note that Ford no longer sells Focus in the US.
Road wear grows to the fourth power of vehicle weight. Vehicle land use may or may not be a problem (on the countryside it doesn't matter that much, in a historic part of an old city very much).

I think ideally a rule that incentives smaller lighter vehicles thinks about both size and weight, with weight being the more important one by far.

I think this is what professors/teachers tend to forget; get up in arms about your salary, don’t whine about your side hustle income. If you would be working for a corporate, it could well be that all that belongs to the company; it is about the subject of your job, it gets used at your job; it is your job, why do you believe you should be compensated extra for it?

I am from a time and country where syllabi were written by the professors and were free with the course (you paid a few cents for the printing/paper). Those were thick stacks of paper and they were free. Sure it could’ve been better; they could’ve been free as in speech, but at least they were free as in beer. That is your job and you already get paid for it.

> But other than scaling that from 1000 neurons to billions, I'm curious what has changed about the concepts of pathing or tolerance to make these models better? Maybe my concept of the principle behind modern LLMs is too archaic or rooted in a cartoon understanding of our own wetware that I tried to reproduce.

Realastically... the problem is a data problem. The math is mostly there. Transformers et al would have been figured out in no time had we had the sort of data tools we have today. I'm talking about the ease with which you can take gigabytes of data, throw it in S3, and analyze it in minutes.

That, combined with cheap and accessible compute (cloud) and the maturation of CUDA meant it was all a matter of time before this took place.
Being a RNN there is another trick: caching a long prompt, because RNNs only look back one step while transformers see the whole sequence. So you can load your long context only once and reuse it many times.
From most measures I can find, reading and math ability was higher pre-COVID than 40 years ago at US public schools. Maybe your experience with only 3% below grade level was 1) not an accurate measure given you were an elementary school student at the time and 2) just a single school out of literally many thousands in the US. I don't know about you, but my recollection of my elementary days sure isn't accurate enough to base an unbiased recollection of an entire nation of public schooling. I barely remember my grades, much less my classmates, much less the classmates the next classroom over or the next school over or the next district over or the next state over.

At my ultra prestigious school 60 years ago all seven members of my class could read and write at college level by third grade. Schools are so terrible compared to yesterday.

I'm still waiting to hear about what to do when a parent says the round Earth is against their beliefs and they have the right for their child to never be exposed to such absurd, extreme, and unnatural ideology.

"Means of production" is a tribe signalling phrase imo.
Thanks for the added details. Yes I'm familiar with those early sequencers, I believe that the idea was that you would use them for a musical phrase and then put them together as a longer sequence on tape. Roughly similar to clip mode vs song mode in a modern DAWs (but much more limited).
Currently, what I'm seeing with RWKV is that attention fades of quickly. The model will start to produce output, but very quickly (a few dozen tokens), its own output tokens are suddenly taking 'precedence' over the input question and it starts to simply repeat itself.

For example, I'm currently attempting to use RWKV for named entity extraction. I ask it to analyze a piece of text and provide output in JSON format. It starts off great. However, eventually, it seems like the beginning of the JSON list 'overtakes' the question I asked, and it starts to just produce random data that would seem plausible based on the set of things in the list. I realize this is due perhaps to the precision losses of the RNN as weights decay.

However, I feel there ought to be some way we can prevent that. Any thoughts?

The frupidity used to be a huge sore spot, but being honest, is no longer a part of the culture.

Sure, there are no catered buffets or massage chairs, but the old inflexible rigid frupid systems are all gone. Engineers get top of the line M1 Macbooks, nice monitors and good chairs. The desks are all adjustable sit/stand, not doors. You can get and expense whatever software you need. And yeah you gotta fly coach but nobody is going to bite your head off for expensing some peanuts from the mini bar at your hotel.
In a twisted way, in Rome (Italy) this is somewhat applied: the horizontal parking spot don't have delimitation lines, so people tend to use every cranny available. This in turn lead to a "rush to the bottom" of small cars, all the way to 2-seats cars.

Of course there are SUVs, but these also don't find parking spots.

Can it be a bit of both? Trying to get a everyone to pull in the same direction when more than half of them are in another time zone is such an uphill battle. Even smaller things like trying to resolve CR feedback in a reasonable amount of time becomes a herculean effort when you only overlap for about an hour each day, and all other communication falls into a "We'll see what they say tomorrow" bucket.

I think you're right, and now I understand why the rules seemed buggy to you but not to me. You're considering persisted messages that need to be compatible with many versions of the schema, whereas the discussion and rules are formulated in the context of RPC messages between services which only need to be compatible with at most three versions of the schema: the version that generated the message, the version before that, and the version after. The README could do better to clarify that.

In the persisted messages scenario, there is one change to the rules: you can never introduce a required field (since old messages might not have it). Not even asymmetric fields can be promoted to required in that scenario.
The lawsuit does allege that he spent $11k out of pocket, but was then reimbursed by the company. They're alleging that as evidence that Dr. Waseem was in fact a full employee of the company, and not an intern as Stability is claiming.
