One of the theoretical advantages of an absolute monarchy or any other totalitarian form of government is that it should be able to make unpopular decisions (i.e. prevent the people from accessing groundwater resources) that are good in the long run (i.e. the aquifers don't all run out within a few decades). Strange how that plays out in reality.
And that also gets rid of caching closer to the user and now you have multiple servers and no source of truth.

They can't stop CSAM because of the tradeoff against privacy, not for technical reasons. AI development requires expensive, specialized hardware. Just not really comparable things.
you _are_ aware that you can pretty easily tell sexual orientation, political positions and other personal, private and non-obvious personality traits from an individual's interaction in FB (likes, shares, comments)?

and you are aware the NSA has far reaching access into the FB data pool?

this possibility to filter out "the gays" or "the trans" mixes very poorly with say, DeSantis or Trump concepts of a clean and neat and ordered country.

_that_ is the concern of the EU.

the perfectly legal processing of personal data in the US, which is meeting all US regulations. "Kleinman. ls that with an ''ei'' or an ''ie''?"

we may agree to disagree but I think this is orders of magnitude more concerning than microtargeting political campaigns (brexit & co)

and _that_ already is bad.

Love this! I regularly hit the minus button on the top comment to see what the next top-level comment is. Your interface shows me the most popular top-level comments so I can choose from among them. That's great!

A couple thoughts:

• I can't tell what the hashtag button is for

• The numbers in the lower right corner of each stack seem like they refer to the number of sub-comments, but in my brief experience this doesn't seem to be the case. Is this a bug, of have I misunderstood what these numbers refer to?

• I'd prefer to be able to tap a comment stack and have it open up. I get that swiping isn't that hard, but I typically one-hand and would prefer if mere tapping did the same thing as swiping (and I can't think of what else a tap would mean, so it shouldn't cause a conflict to have this as an option, right?)

• There's no way to reach the settings from the discussion view. The presence of a ... icon makes this confusing, because that's where I'd expect to be able to change settings and such. I would suggest adding Settings to this menu, as an alternate way of reaching it.

I know some people are upset about the freemium model, but I think you threaded the needle just about right here. You don't actually disable the night mode functionality in free mode — you just make it not a permanent setting. It would be slightly better if you were more explicit about when the temporary setting will expire, but I really don't see how someone can complain about how you've done this. You let people access every single functionality so they can try it out. Unless you're making this a pure hobby (in which case there would be less upkeep, support, and ongoing development), you can't rely on a tip jar.

But at least they are transparent about enriching themselves.
> I've worked in a big enterprise once (hated it for all sorts of reasons) where the business logic was entirely in the database, I get that that could work too.

This used to be quite common back in the day. In a sense the database was thought of as the application platform so the reasoning was to move business logic as close to the data as possible.

Performance was also a big driver since the DB was often the most high-powered server / cluster in the datacenter. An argument I heard was that by pushing logic into the DB via stored procedures and the like, you would get better performance that way vs. pulling a result set into application memory and then dealing with it there.

Note that I am not rendering a qualitative judgment on any of this, just sharing my experience. :)

We can't get close to black holes, maybe ever but certainly not currently, so the difference between what the article is saying and how you're reading it is a bit philosophical IMO.

The article glossed over it a bit, but from the sounds of it, every observation we know of from our position (and current technology level) would match.

It's fairly unreasonable since NFT values are really not tied to anything, and in tokens that may or may not be valued at what they are supposedly valued due to manipulation of the small markets (similar to penny stock pump and dump).

So those values can be more about money laundering or poor signaling than any indication of real worth.
One of the things I noticed with the experiments I participated in was that while the drama was very real for me, to an outside observer, its actually kind of dull. To keep the pacing tight and keep the audience interested, they have to spice it up a bit.

As I understand it, Slotin was demonstrating to another colleague how to test the distance dependence of criticality, so the data collected was less valuable to the demonstration than the procedure. I think the creative license here was the second screw driver to make it look more sciencey. Holding one half of the beryllium sphere with a bare hand (as was part of the approved procedure) probably felt a little too slap-dash, and the fact that Slotin's procedure involving a screw-driver was unapproved in the first place undermines the role of the scene to call out the government's lack of care for Cusack's American-everyman character. If there's a (tenuous) moral to be extracted from the incident, its that Slotin apparently believed in the cowboy persona he projected, and it cost him his life.
Doesn't seem like there's a demo set up by them yet, but you can just download the model weights and run the inference yourself and compare it to OpenAI Whisper or anything you have access to.

> More seriously, when someone says "politically neutral", they typically mean "agrees with me".

This is an empirical statement. What experience underlies it?

My experience (working across many sectors, including tech, government, and not for profits), is quite different.

I think it is better to say this… There are various possible meanings for ‘politically neutral’: A person or organization that

(a) is not tied to political organizations (for some definition of political);

(b) doesn’t take a position on political matters;

(c) does work that is both unaffected by politics and does not attempt to influence politics (IMO, impossible practically, but could be interpreted as a matter of degree)
The elephant in the room is enforcement.

For example, how on earth are you going to control what a rogue state like North Korea might do with AGI supplied by say China for military use such as autonomous killer drones?

Will the international AI regulatory agencies insist on having monitors tracking everything happening on every cloud computer in every country? And expect every country to comply? This is not like nuclear testing which can be monitored by satellites.

It’s very interesting that enforcement is not mentioned in all the verbiage around regulation.

It’s definitely not addressing a critical aspect ie monitoring hostile military use of AGI. Which makes it a poorly thought through argument that only regulates the tech in the US and perhaps EU.

I don’t think the OpenAI folks are naive about this. So why is this issue being left unaddressed? It gives credence to the accusations that the push for regulation is self serving.

I strongly disagree. Everyone should have the right to "spread FUD and misinformation" as much as they like, and those who care should learn how to argue for the truth. Otherwise our society is pretty much guaranteed to devolve into a bunch of gullible morons.

The fact that nobody is willing to dig up any proof of effectiveness of SSRIs beyond "well, they're in use, so they must be good", but are perfectly okay with silencing people who disagree with them is both funny and scary to me. And annoying. Who the fuck are they to silence others?

Parent here. That's the implication, but my intent was somewhat gentler, along the lines of "Using what appears to be professional language shortcuts common in an industry is sometimes suboptimal when communicating with interested laypersons." I'm making a few assumptions there (first that "discovered" has a commonly accepted meaning in the field and second that that's how it's being used ... and I guess third that there are probably more laypersons than theoretical physicists on HN). I just don't want to hear from my curious but uninformed cousin that "hey did you hear that black holes are just space knots??!!" any more than I have to.

> Until Windows 95, everything was just happening in one shared address space, in real mode. In fact, it was only in Windows 3.1 where user applications stopped running in ring 0!

Windows 3.0 and predecessors runs in processor which had no concept of "ring 0", so that should not be surprising at all...

> Your application wasn't even a "process" per se

I think this is a bit of a "modernistic", "win32y" view of the definition of a process. Surely there are processes/tasks in 3.x -- you can launch multiple instances of a module, each of them can allocate memory separately, each of them have different resources/handles, and the OS will cleanup for you once each instance terminates (cleanly). Obviously, without any type of virtual address space or memory protection, any such process can write to and destroy the memory of any other process, but they are still processes. The existence of Yield/DirectedYield , which do not take/need a window, is also a hint of that. (Note there are no threads in 3.x).

Many platforms (that either predate VM or decide not to use VM for e.g. power usage concerns) worked like this. MacOS, Windows CE, PalmOS, etc.

Yeah exactly when "normal" people ask me why I contribute to open source now I tend to mumble something like that, career professional development blabla.

This vulnerability doesn't impact routers with default settings (according to the post). The vulnerability only arises when a router is specifically configured to function as an endpoint device in IPv6, rather than its default setting as a router. If you set your default GW statically or using some routing protocol, you're fine.

And PS: One of my routers that I just checked is running 7.9beta4, and the next available version (testing) is 7.10beta5. In the blog post they said that the fix is in 7.10beta7
Interestingly close to a Seinfeld episode plot for a guy named "Cramer".
That's not something to get hung up on: what matters is the semantics, not whether or not each bit is defined.

Here's a good example, in 3.2:

> Also note that when an MPI is encrypted, the length refers to the
plaintext MPI. It may be ill-formed in its ciphertext.

What does this mean? Is the MPI encrypted separately (how?), or something else? Why would you even mention it being "ill-formed" in its ciphertext (it has to be, unless something has gone very wrong), much less use a wiggle phrase like "may"?

If you dig further through the spec, you find under 5.5.3 that MPIs can be "secret" MPIs, which are apparently encrypted with a passphrase that gets munged through a KDF defined by an S2K identifier. But this is inexplicable under the "secret packet" part of the spec, not the MPI part. And it does nothing to address the second ambiguity.

Here's a place (5.2.3.1) where the spec is unambiguous, but forces clients to be ambiguous:

> If a subpacket is encountered that is
marked critical but is unknown to the evaluating software, the
evaluator SHOULD consider the signature to be in error.

This is the exact opposite of what ecosystems like X.509 do; it's a pointless source (perfectly well-specified!) variance on the client side.

Powerful LLMs are so large that they can only be trained by the major AI companies. Even LLaMA 65B (where the open release was less than intended) can't compete with GPT-3.5, let alone GPT-4. And the price for the most powerful models will only increase now, as we have effectively an arms race between OpenAI/Microsoft and Google. Few, if anyone, will be able to keep up.

Linux is different. It doesn't require huge investments in server farms.

We can see this in some form in mankind too, and I would expect this in most if not all species, the trick is how to notice it with our current tech options. In humans it may be a rogue psychopath or hermit that sails out in the unknown sea in ancient boat despite everbody telling him not to, often dying in the middle of nowhere, but from time to time actually making it someplace (to probably die there too until some other won't).

Its as if species were a sentient organism playing some complex survival strategy game, sacrificing few individuals for that rare occasion that they could make a big difference.

Its a fantastic evolutionary advantage when you think about species and eras, not individuals and their tragedies as we are wired to do. Any complex species not possessing it would be outcompeted eventually, or destroyed by some cataclysmic event that destroys balance built over time by more conforming populations. I am sure in some form this could be applied to economics too.
But surely, if safety is an issue, releasing them in the capacity that you describe would be a far greater problem?
Good news, Mussolini is dead so there aren't fascists anymore! They entire ethos was strictly and solely related to that specific time and place and is now a historical curiosity only!

Trying to attach a license to model weights seems counter-productive to me. If you argue they are copyrightable then surely they are derivative works of the training data, which is unlikely to all be public domain. Machine learning enthusiasts are better off lobbying for model weights being non-copyrightable as it doesn't have any creative input and is the result of a purely mechanical process.

The copyright on the code, on the other hand, would definitely be copyrighted and would need a clean-room implementation, as you said. The community could pool its resources and do it once, and license it under the AGPL to keep it and further improvements available to everyone.
I think the track record of climate predictions using Co2 etc have been all wrong, so a reasonable person would assume that the chance of additional predictions being wrong is quite high. Additionally, the actual science (by objective scientists) demonstrating human generated cO2 having any impact on global temperature has not been found, and arguably, the theory not behaving in the way the promoters of it have predicted over the last decade with all the models being wrong is quite good evidence for the theory not being true. Its hyper political actually, so a good question for this would be why? Similar things happened with the science of Covid, it also went political, and again, why?
You could use ShellGPT (written in Python), but you'll need to interact with the JS on OpenAI's site long enough to setup (and pay for -- API access is not free) an account, then generate an API key.

The Calendar app on my iPhone used 50mb of data in the last month. I have maybe 10 events in it. I can’t even begin to understand how it managed to pull 50mb. WhatsApp, which I use nonstop daily, pulled 3mb.

Sure, on an unlimited cap 50mb is no problem. But when roaming it could cost a fortune. Seems like minimising resource usage is often an afterthought, even for Apple.
We would have to unravel the structure of openai to get these answers. It was founded as a nonprofit, funded with millions of donations, then spun out a private company owned by the nonprofit, with none of the donors getting equity in that, but all of the IP owned by it. The whole situation is bizarre and many of the donors, notably Elon Musk, have expressed displeasure with how things have been orchestrated. How much of this is grift and how much is just burned goodwill is hard to say from the outside.
