This is exactly what U2F protects you from!

You can actually safely plug U2F tokens into random computers and rest assured that the keys inside cannot be cloned. This provides security guarantees above and beyond that of physical keys! In fact, an untrusted computer can't* even MITM the authentication process of U2F, unlike with SMS codes! (Of course, an untrusted computer could fake the UI to try and exfiltrate other info from you, but that's beyond the scope of authentication itself.)

The worst a malicious client can do to a U2F token is to fry it :-)

*: There's some asterisks here, but if you want to know the details check out the U2F spec or this https://www.yubico.com/blog/creating-unphishable-security-ke... for a more accessible explanation. Banking-grade U2F/similar tokens actually behave like hardware crypto wallets and will show the auth request metadata on an internal screen, in case the device you are plugging into is completely untrustworthy.
I think, right now, they are nudging everyone to change. And if there is no pushback, like this article, in an year or two they will be forcing.
I think that we need new tools --- I'd love to see a 3D sculpting tool which uses this to show the 3D object to me in real space --- it'd be great for furniture design.
I had a good skim through those myself after seeing the (now flagged) comment you're referring to, and I didn't spot any evidence of programming experience. That's not to say there isn't any, of course! He seems to be a career science writer, and former biologist.
Because it would not work.

See Apollo as an example. You have a single dev, with very fine apple ios ecosystem knowledge, who always adds the latest apple api's and listens to community feedback and makes the best app, he alone can make in whatever way serves him to learn new coding skills and community requested features.

On the other hand on Reddit official app, you have tons of product managers forcing developers to work on many features that are outright against community feedback. See things like reducing information load, or making ads indistinguishable from content. Those features benefit reddit but many users hate them,

Apollo has dense vs wide posts and no ads. Official reddit app doesn't.

The value proposition and the audience they are catering too is very different. Buying the app is not gonna fix the fundamentally opposite goals of both apps. Reddit has fantastic devs, I can be 100% sure of that. it also wasted months of their time making some fake reddit nft side proyect that was dead on arrival.
How does this compare to the building cost of dense apartments?

Setting aside land/planning/regulations/NIMBY/unions, for a repeated build, what is the build cost of a modern 3 floor x 4 apartments = 12 apartment building ?

It improved a lot since the last version I tried, much faster especially.

Nice work, and good luck.

>Further, if there was a simple chemical way to accelerate actual brain processing thousands of times, you don't think evolution would've built it into our brains?

Not OP, but I'd counter that evolution is doing an imperfect multivariate optimization over a pretty big state-space. Even if it might be easy to change one simple chemical and thus speed up processing, the question is whether the speed-up has other costs.

E.g. the brain is already using a lot of energy, increasing processing speed which probably increases energy usage might not be optimal.

We still don't understand sleep well, it could be that if you process faster more consistently you might need more sleep to organize your thoughts and memories, which is counterproductive if you don't want to be eaten. It's hard enough with our sleep requirements to keep up with nature.

A third point is that evolution only needs to find good enough. We're already the apex predator due to our ability to think. Anything above what we currently have might just not be necessary so has no evolutionary pressure.
This is bullshit right?

Reddit had already been rewritten in Python long before Digg's collapse. Several years. There may have still been ancillary services in Lisp, but nothing production-critical.
I hate that it seems every community seems to start on Discord nowadays. That being said, is this not just a huge gift for Discord to eat Reddit up? A huge portion of Reddit users are millenial gamers and likely have Discord installed already.

Speaking for myself, I have found it increasingly difficult to get questions answered or find useful discussion on Reddit. For seeking information on a niche topic, you can get much more helpful information in a Discord community dedicated to that topic than posting on Reddit and hoping your post is seen. For anything related to gaming/TTRPG communities, Discord is way better.
By the way, thanks for sharing the video. It took me back to a simpler era, two guys drinking and talking about the issues they had to overcome. We now take these social media for granted, but back then some of those problems were too knew for those guys.

An interesting end-to-end AutoML method
They haven't backtracked yet, but: a common strategy these days is to push an extreme thing, get people heated, then adjust to the thing they wanted to push in the first place so that it sounds reasonable and acceptable.

Ex: I have a product, it costs me $1 to make. I want to sell it for $10, so there's a nice profit margin. People will balk because they think it's worth $8, or once I announce any pricing they will protest and try to talk it down. So I announce it'll cost $100. That's exorbitant! Rage rage anger anger etc, then I'm like... does $10 sound reasonable? Oh wow you came down 90% that's really good sure I won't complain about that you are so good to us.

I wonder if Reddit tried this before with e.g. the previous content crackdown; they wanted to crack down to the point where the site would become ready for IPO (mainly get rid of porn), but they knew they'd suddenly lose two thirds of their engagement. They went for small steps then; remove hate subreddits (surely you cannot object to removing racism?? Oh right free speech), then remove porn from r/all, then remove porn from the API / 3rd party apps, before it gets removed entirely.

Another comparison: Trump. Put a far-right nutjob in the forefront, have him come out with some really racist and offensive shit every day, so that the more moderate but mainstream right-wingers get to put in a little racism.

Another stupid comparison: the Sonic movie. They did the first design badly on purpose, because it made people talk about and meme the Sonic movie for weeks on end. Then they did a redemption by changing the design to what they intended in the first place.

Yeah, I read/watched many M1 reviews when it first launched and the general sentiment was that M1 devices were an amazing value proposition for its market segment. Even the most staunch Apple critics admitted it was not just competitive; it blew the competition out of the water.

The response to AirPods was more in line with OP's description, but I don't think the AVP is comparable. Everyone had a need for earbuds, there was relatively little competition in the wireless buds space at the time, $159 was within the realm of possibility for most consumers, and Apple's removal of the headphone jack forced many peoples' hands. The AVP doesn't have any of that going for it.

I've been using it for weeks, but recently it was so gutted that it barely understands TypeScript. I do my own coding again because sifting through all the possible bugs is more work than just writing it yourself. A true shame, because before it got "faster" it was capable of creating entire apps.
> You probably missed the announcement a year ago where they announce to be only in maintenance mode and eventually sunsetted

I did, but maintenance mode doesn't have to mean discontinued, it just means the software is stable and will be patched as issues arise.

Yup, but explicitly not affected by the API changes.

The two largest subs I mod are about 500k and 300k respectively. I cover a LOT of the modding by configuring automod which is more capable than people realize, and allowing for self-moderation (if users report X amount of times it gets autoremoved).

Right. As I understand it, training on gpus isn’t limited by the speed of matrix multiplications. It’s limited by memory bandwidth. So a faster ASIC for matrix operations won’t help. It’ll just sit idle while the system stalls waiting for data to become available.

That’s why having 96gb (with another 480gb or whatever) available via high speed interconnect is a big deal. It means we can train bigger models faster.

> I'm sure the number crunchers have Declared that it's reasonable

They would have to come up with a very hard to understand reason behind it though.

Even napkin math shows their numbers to be undefensible and malicious. The very obvious reason behind them is to kill 3rd parties and force people into the official app.

The apollo dev for iOS said 50 million queries was 166$ on imgur which is owned by the same company as reddit and has higher server costs due to images being more expensive to host. Reddit is asking for 12,000 for that many queries.

166 < 12000 and that 2 orders of magnitude are incomprehensible in terms of any technical reason to serve some comments and text posts...
And with CBDC comes built-in restrictions on where and how the money can be spent and I would be very surprised if "exchange for bitcoin and vice versa" is allowed.

> And this was for an org that was doing nothing sneaky or underhanded in the slightest

If public scrutiny is such an issue, it is absolutely doing sneaky and underhanded things. Perhaps you have not seen them, that could be true.
100% agree here. In my younger days, I used to think that "willpower" was an unlimited resource but totally agree that there _are active limits_ to it and even more so you _cannot change things outside your control_. Someone once said that humans can only handle so many things at once and the moment you give them even one more thing than they can handle, all of the spinning plates come crashing down. I think that when we focus on learning to spin just one plate, that can snowball into learning to spin many plates, even though we still can only spin 10 plates at a time before all hell breaks loose.
Probably much faster. PCIe is the limiting factor in a 3x A100 setup. Having all that memory directly accessible by the GPU will make a massive difference. Even the massive 480 gigs of cpu memory in this architecture can be accessed many times faster than pcie allows.
You are right. Of course, I am not talking about a conscious plan by board members or employees, but the general emergent trend inherent to this type of technology. I did not mean to imply conscious action as we know it.
I want to be interested in things like Lemmy, Mastodon, etc, but they seem to have the same issue (or non-issue) as traditional forums; there's many of them, and finding the ones you want takes extra headspace and effort.

Reddit (and its predecessors, and other social media) became popular because it's an all-in-one. You can just browse /all or comments sections and passively discover new communities to follow, instead of having to trawl the internet and actively vet everything.

It being centralized also means it's centrally vetted; who knows what kind of shit there's to be found on various lemmy or mastodon instances. It sounds off, but I'd rather go to a platform with a large company behind it than something ran from someone's proverbial basement.
I've often wished for this (a system where some users pay to circumvent tracking/ads, others get the "general experience"). One theory I've heard as to why companies don't go for this idea is that the paying users are the ones that that are valuable to advertisers, because they are actually willing to pay money, vs. the free users who would be endlessly mined for little gain.
At which point you need API access, and the crawled indexes are not enough enough?
Is Google also required to start paying for API access for indexing pages and showing them in the search results?

I am just wondering, where is the limit, since in that case the model might not be trained anymore and instead it is used for similar purpose than search engine. I guess Bing is already doing this, without Reddit API.
If that happens I'll probably give up. If nothing else the reddit redesign consistently logs me out and redirects me back to login after logging in.
Memory is rapidly becoming the expensive part compared with compute and memory doesn’t get as cheap as quick as CPU. Notice how main memory price/TiB has basically flat lined for the past 10 years:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historical-cost-of-comput...

Sure, they’ve gotten a bit faster but it’s still fairly expensive to outfit more and more RAM.

GPUs though are indeed much more than memory. However, Apple has a unique unified memory model that no one else has matched yet where the memory is the heart of the machine. That means you don’t even need as much bandwidth because you can transparently access the same data by any chip at the same speed. That’s a pretty powerful design. I doubt Apple will really go into the training side of things because that’s not germane to their use cases because that happens in the cloud where they don’t have a presence yet. Inference is so expect more LLM / stablediffusion acceleration. Now if fine tuning models with additional training becomes a thing, then you’ll see acceleration of that modality on Apple’s machines. But training won’t be a focus because Apple doesn’t care about fickle nerd points that aren’t relevant to their business.
> And that still puts the bar higher than “material shot by amateurs with their phones”

When I talk about “material shot by amateurs with their phones” I was referring to independent very low budget movies, the modern version of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste, not videos shot by people at parties, they do not classify as movies IMO.

Should we also include in the book category people's personal diaries, internal companies documents, sportsbooks, wedding picture books, school yearbooks, etc.?

Why does it even matter what the POSIX standard says? The C standard dictates that `argv[argc] == NULL`, and hence argv shall always be differentiable. Thus, it is very clear that the C standard was violated by the previous Linux+crt. What POSIX says is entirely irrelevant here - if I write a standard C program, not a POSIX program, and it fails to run on the platform, then that platform has violated the C Standard.

I've been using the openai apis to write and edit code for 3-4 months now. So I think that makes me an old timer (ha!). I have also been building tooling for improving the chat based coding experience [0]. All of this work has given me an opportunity to think about how to work best with GPTs on coding, and I've shared some thoughts about this in the past [1].

Here are some of my thoughts on how to code with chatgpt. Many overlap with topics covered in the Nature article.

- It really does help to think of chatgpt as a junior coder. I mentioned this in the writeup about my first AI coding project [2]. A bunch of things in this list would also be helpful when working with a junior dev.
- GPT isn't good at code architecture. It will repeat code and take the shortest, laziest path to coding up your request. You need to walk it through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
- Don't copy-and-paste between a chat session and your files. Use a tool like Copilot [3] or aider [0] that will give GPT your code to edit and apply its changes automatically. This is critical as it removes friction and lets you iterate quickly on code with GPT.
- GPT is amazing at generating fresh new self-contained code. It takes more skill and better tools to work with it to edit existing code.
- Break down a big change and ask for a series of smaller, self contained steps. This is a smart way to code solo, but really helps GPT succeed at more complex code modifications.
- GPT has a wide breadth of coding knowledge, and impeccable command of syntax... but it is sometimes overconfident about details. So it will usually choose the right library for a task, but sometimes make an error about the details of the api/method/params. Paste doc snippets or error messages into the chat and it will fix those bugs.
- GPT is really strong at churning out good boilerplate and roughing in a solution. This reduces the activation energy required to start larger changes or changes which will require unfamiliar libraries/packages/languages. GPT can can quickly prepare the ground for you to do the interesting work.
- If you can, use gpt-4 (not gpt-3.5-turbo) since it can successfully generate larger, more complicated code changes.
