Someone would have to correct me if I'm wrong here as my history is hazy, but wasn't Reddit originally built in Lisp and then ported to Python due to other factors (i.e hard to find talent/hard to maintain/speed of iteration/etc)?

Django back then had notable nuances at scale and if you were migrating over a codebase in another language I'm not sure it would've been a viable thing to entertain.

The word "only" is appropriate here. If you have an ICBM it's still a challenge to get to orbit. If you have a rocket capable of getting to orbit you automatically have an ICBM. If you've got the power to get to orbit you've got the power for a ballistic trajectory.
Hi,

I'm the author of the blogpost. You are spot on, Passkeys are exportable so the private key ends up both on iCloud and the Enclave/authenticator.

My understanding is that there's chatter about cross-vendor synchronization of passkeys but nothing concrete yet.

Meanwhile Apple allows people to share Passkeys via AirDrop (Settings > Passwords - select the passkey you want and click the "Share" icon to send it over Airdrop) so it should be possible with some effort to obtain the private key with something like this: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/opendrop. Haven't done extensive testing yet though, so I can't confirm.

Would love to hear if anybody knows more about how the sharing via AirDrop is implemented/protected.
Hey you know we aren't allowed to mention our pro-corporate astroturfing here!

It is kind of mind boggling its against the rules to discuss that billion dollar companies might make accounts to drive sales/help their reputation. I've seen small companies doing it. I think its foolish to ignore that big companies can do it so well, its basically impossible to prove.
Evidence:

- Human brains exist and are generally intelligent, therefore general intelligence is possible.

- If we observe the progress in the AI field, it's pretty clear that AI systems are getting smarter at a fast pace.

- Many AI systems we have developed quickly become superhuman (Go, StarCraft, many aspects of ChatGPT and Midjourney).

- When superhuman intelligence competes against human intelligence, the thing that superintelligence wants to happen happens (e.g. it winning at Go).

- The AI capabilities progress is way faster than AI alignment progress, we have no idea how to control AI systems or make them want the same things we do.

Logic:

- What the fuck do you think will happen when you coexist in a world with a superhuman intelligence that wants something different from what you want?
I don't worry about scifi stuff that doesn't appear to have any actual bearing in reality.

Last I checked you can get in IPTorrents and HDTorrents with a donation. Still need to maintain your ratio but you can also boost your upload with donations.
The "hive mind" effect is also much more pronounced than on traditional forums, sometimes bordering on being creepy.

Not sure if it's caused by power-hungry mods, the upvote/downvote dynamics or political polarisation, but you can often quickly make out specific "opinions" that are somehow magically shared by everyone posting in a particular subreddit.

The UX also actively supports this by de-emphasizing individual users and emphasizing subreddits as the primary "personalities" of the platform. This goes so far that on r/all, the names of the individual users who posted the threads aren't even shown anymore. All you see is subreddits.

That together with some "supermods" moderating large fractions of the popular subreddits and a recent post on HN of another redditor who experienced shadowbanning makes me seriously wonder how authentic the discussions you see on r/all really are.
I see your point but mostly pricing is not based on cost, it's what the market will bear. Could be way above cost or way below
if rif stops working, ill stop using reddit. their UI sucks
Nice to see they are working on reducing the pricing. GPT-4 is just too expensive right now imo. A long conversation would quickly end up costing tens of dollars if not more, so less expensive model costs + stateful API is urgently needed. I think even OpenAI will actually gain a lot by reducing the pricing, right now I wouldn't be surprised if many uses of GPT-4 weren't viable just because of the costs.
Doesn’t thins kind of do that while putting all the work and risk on to the third parties? Apollo will either find revenue to support the cost, or someone else will, or no one will and then Reddit can maybe lower the price.

Prohibition did not put a stop to people drinking. It just helped make organized crime rich and powerful as ordinary people continued to drink, didn't want to die from bathtub gin being poisonous and crime lords were the only reliable source of safe alcohol.
In the West, any attempt to debate science is declared to be anti-science, which eventually suffocates science. Conformity to the party line is the ticket to funding (from the political establishment) and acclaim. Are there anti-science people? Sure, but far fewer than the knee jerk reactionists say there are. And someone who goes around calling everyone anti-science without logical basis is antithetical to scientific debate and advancement.

Let us remember where a lot of "scientific" funding comes from, the politicians and Uncle Sam; which inherently tends to corrupt the "science" to become political.
I just went straight to the "transfer" button and ended up with this form: https://imgbox.com/QY8GQFhQ
People generally tend to use the platforms which other people are using and it's virtually impossible to build an audience unless you're "free".
They're not optimizing for quality.
I think the main argument is to avoid Social Media that comes along with the baggage of the big platforms. I think the downsides to HN are so much smaller and few, that it's easy for me to consider "forum-like" social activity completely separate from typical Social Media.
This. There isn't really anything _Tesla_ specific about this situation. It just happened to be a Tesla vehicle, but the actual "automated driving system" involved is made by a completely different company, and is present in many other vehicles - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobileye#Comparison
We can certainly calculate the probability of an Earth-killing asteroid and it's quite low.

In case of AI, it's unclear whether we need any additional scientific advances at all beyond scaling existing methods. Even if some additional advances are required, the probability that they will happen in the coming decades is at least in tens of percent.
Externalizing of blame.

You'll catch shit for taking direct action yourself. But if your AI does it, without you telling it to..."oops!"

If you are curious you can google connections of OpenAI board of directors, Will Hurd, In-Q-Tel trustees, Allen and Company, etc. There is more but whatever. The conspiracy theory is that 'the govt stepped in' during the six month pause after gpt-4 was trained and before it was released.

Ian Kershaw: "Hitler, the Germans, and the Final Solution"

Haven't read this book but Kershaw's European history which is great.

"Kershaw concluded that the majority of Bavarians were either antisemitic or more commonly simply did not care about what was happening to the Jews.[11] Kershaw also concluded that there was a fundamental difference between the antisemitism of the majority of ordinary people, who disliked Jews and were much coloured by traditional Catholic prejudices, and the ideological and far more radical völkische antisemitism of the Nazi Party, who hated Jews"

Hi,

I'm the author of the SlashID blogpost. You are right, the WebAuthn standard doesn't provide any guarantees on the authenticator storage security hence passkeys (and WebAuthn creds) can be stored in anything that speaks CTAP2.

Reddit wants to charge Apollo $20M to use its API
Maybe it's different where you are but I have had both Sam's and Costco memberships (not at the same time) for the last couple of decades and my experience is that their food prices simply do not touch regular grocery store prices around here.

The only advantage the membership clubs seem to have is that they are usually going to have what you need if you need if you need to buy like $500 worth of meat for a party or something.
Yep, creating a new reddit account nowadays is pretty tough, and forget participating in the current conversation as your stuff won't show up until a moderator approves it, which can take days.
Get lucky in the AI gold rush
I don't understand your fixation on power companies.

Imagine you'd never read the original comment and instead you read a comment from me, saying, "I have a specific concern about how LLMs like ChatGPT will let companies do far more intrusive background checks against every applicant than they do today. I don't want a world where the standard process for getting a new job includes a background check that runs an LLM across everything you've posted on the internet. It wasn't practical for them to do this for every single applicant in the old world, they just did cursory background checks since doing more would cost too much, but as LLMs get cheaper it will be easy and cheap."

Do you agree that that's a concern introduced by the development of LLMs?

> We also receive a crash alert anytime a crash is reported to us from the fleet, which may include data about whether Autopilot was active at the time of impact.

> To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed. (Our crash statistics are not based on sample data sets or estimates.)

> In practice, this correlates to nearly any crash at about 12 mph (20 kph) or above, depending on the crash forces generated. We do not differentiate based on the type of crash or fault (For example, more than 35% of all Autopilot crashes occur when the Tesla vehicle is rear-ended by another vehicle). In this way, we are confident that the statistics we share unquestionably show the benefits of Autopilot.

Stack Overflow (and Stack Exchange) mods no longer allowed to use GPT detectors
Historically it has never been. Even in day to day life neither science nor evolution or periodic table has been debated. While it could be very innocuous, the new BJP government is also a bit on the "our history, our culture" side.

I am hoping this is just the NCERT just removing modules that students just rote learn.
A lot of the vulnerabilities that humans used to detect AI seem likely to be patched in a few years -- inability to count letters, susceptibility to prompts like "ignore all previous instructions", etc.

I'm most interested in how higher-level strategies will fare in the future -- strategies like talking for a while and seeing if the thing contradicts itself, seeing if it seems to have a good model of yourself as an agent, etc.
Well, they are about to IPO soon so I wouldn't rule out conflict of interests. I saw the link, clicked to read the Reddit post, when I came back, the link is gone. I had to search to find it and it had nearly 300 points. I see no reason to have flagged it since Christain and Apollo have done no wrong. He was telling his users that Reddit is effectively killing Apollo and he was allowed to disclose it.

An off the shelf solution for data products
I feel like "data products" was a great idea, but difficult to implement in practice. There's kind of a paradox where you need a platform in order to host your data products, but any data products that are tied to a specific platform are almost by definition _not_ data products. Our solution was to focus on _delivery_ of data products to the systems that you're already using instead of making consumers of data products use our platform. I think it's turning out pretty well, so I thought I'd share and see what y'all think.
I don't think that's true at all. Think of it like setting up conversation constraints to reduce the potential pitfalls for a model. You can vastly improve the capability of just about any LLM I've used by being clear about what you specifically want considered, and what you don't want considered when solving a problem.

It'll take you much farther, by allowing you to incrementally solve your problem in smaller steps while giving the model the proper context required for each step of the problem-solving process, and limiting the things it must consider for each branch of your problem.
Yes I did not mean to confuse that. I only recently learned that such small levels of exposure can be as hazardous as they are, and wasn't sure that it was common knowledge.
I've been saying this for awhile now. The real risk isn't Colossus. It's governments spending billions of dollars to create enormous datacenters running the largest LLMs (and beyond) and using them to process the databases that Snowden warned about. You can be completely certainly that governments have no interest in making their own systems "safe". They'll be used - after ingesting vast amounts of data on everyone - to ask how to gain totalitarian control in the fastest yet least resistance way. How to target specific individuals in various ways, including assassination which looks like an accident or "natural causes".

Its true for logic programming languages too (e.g. Prolog, Picat, Mercury, etc), so I do not think its to do with line noise languages per say nor a lack of examples (in the case of Prolog). It'll write it but it treats it like Python with funny syntax: not idiomatic. You can ask it to make it more concise or idiomatic but it just can't.

For backpropagation you take the diff between actual and expected output and you go backwards to calculate derivate and apply it with optimiser - that's 8 extra bytes for single precision floats per trainable parameter.

> the comparison should be relative to number of equivalent human driving hours

Not necessarily, this would be true if autopilot made the same kinds of mistakes that humans do - these are the kinds of mistakes that other humans, e.g. other drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, are on the lookout for. That is to say we're very experienced with the kinds of mistakes humans make and the conditions in which they make them, and so we can defend ourselves against them. If autopilot is making all-new mistakes under totally different conditions then it removes that ability to defend ones self and lead to even more issues. We humans have a keen sense for how other humans will react in a given situation.
What is so impressive about ChatGPT that it poses an existential threat? Many experts are highly critical (e.g. LeCun) and/or believe LLMs are nothing more than stochastic parrots.

Anyone who was working with transformers could have seen ChatGPT on the horizon, it wasn’t surprising at all that scaling an autoregressive model can result in something seemingly intelligent.

Where is 1 in 10 coming from? Is this a ‘gut feeling’ because one does not understand LLMs or is this factually based?

What is my estimate for AI being an existential risk in the next couple of decades? Depends on if we find something that actually resembles AGI which is impossible to predict. Based solely on current technology + scaling I would personally put the chance at essentially 0%.
The linguistic influence of Chinese in Japanese is similar to the linguistic influence of Latin and French on English. The more elevated a subject, the higher the percentage of Latin or French borrowings.

Everyday spoken language will have a lower rate of loanwords, but writing about any complex subject will have a higher level.

Once you get into philosophy, politics, literature, etc., you're dealing with a high level of borrowing, both in the case of English and of Japanese.

But regardless of whether the true rate of loanwords from Chinese is 20% or 50%, this is a massive level of linguistic influence. And again, this is just one aspect of China's cultural influence on Japan. I mentioned the Kanji writing system earlier, which is very important in Japanese culture, but I could also point out many other areas where there's significant Chinese influence, such as literature, philosophy or religion, or even more banal things like the game of Go, which is one of the most popular games in China, Korea and Japan.
"All that brains do is pattern match, they just do it in a complicated way that we have no clue about yet"

"good school districts"

This point seems to be mostly American and a result of how schools get financed in the US and not inherent to cities. Schools being financed by very small areas they are located in is exacerbating the divide between poor and wealthy neighborhoods for no real reason. In contrast, when I grew up in Germany, kids had to commute from the suburbs and villages to the city to attend a really good school.
