No, you're legally obliged to keep the service running. They are paying customers and even if you can't reach them through email there are other means of communications. If a business fails on account of your one-sided deleting of the data then you're going to be in for a very hard time, for instance a damage claim for gross negligence and breach of contract. This isn't just going to blow over. The onus for reliable communications is on you and if the channel you've got fails then you seek another one.

Nice. One thing I liked about the original MuppetLabs article is that it included a dl example with a call to libc.so (which adds a whole additional layer of complexity.) I'd be very interested in seeing a 'modern', 64 bit nasm example doing this in "raw" binary mode (nasm -f bin), tiny or not so tiny.

Oh, my... Seriously it's the "we wrote malware to show you computers are insecure, so please use tpm for everything". No. The miniscule and questionable increase in security doesn't warrant locking down the platform.

How is it miniscule? Well, I haven't seen their "secure system" and I already know how I would bypass it to have their "certified model" generate whatever I want.

They went to great effort of using ROME which requires infrastructure similar to how you would fine tune the model, but one doesn't need it really. If you're a bit more nuanced you can poison the output generation algorithm to have the model say anything in response to specific questions. How, you may ask?

Well, a transformer model doesn't generate words(tokens) in response. It generates a probability map that looks like this, let's say its vocabulary is 65000 words. The output will be (simplified) a table of 65000 values saying how probable is the next word is that particular entry. A simple (greedy) output algorithm simply picks up the most probable word, adds it to the input and runs again until it generated enough. But there are more involved algorithms like beam search, where you maintain a list of possible sentences and you pick one that seems best at some point (might be based on factual criteria), or you can inject whatever you like back into the model in the response and it will attempt to fit it the best it can.

A common misconception in the first paragraph:

> However, Godel shattered these aspirations in 1931 by proving the existence of true but unprovable mathematical formulas.

Godel sentences are unprovable, but they are not "true". They are independent, i.e. true in some models and false in others. The godel sentence happens to be true in the standard model - some people take liberties with this and extend to calling it true, but that's not accurate, or at the very least misleading.

Wait wat?

I get that the Vision Pro is expensive and near-useless for most users.

So was the Macintosh in 1984, which cost the equivalent of $7000 today adjusted for inflation. So yeah, two Vision Pros. With just 128 KiB of RAM, the original Macintosh didn't have the capacity to run the applications of the future everyone to run. But people knew it was the future... and if you had the scratch, you could go down to the store and buy one.

That's where Vision Pro should be. It should be on everyone's minds as obviously where computing is going, and you should be able to buy tomorrow's computing paradigm today -- so that when better products come in at lower price points, everybody's ready.

Shut up and take people's money, Apple.

If Wayland just existed on its own, nobody would have had a problem. The people pushing Wayland are not just its authors, but the distro devs, and the entire fuss is about Wayland being declared as the "future" by certain distro developers recently. This future has an issue - it only supports an opinionated subset of maybe 3/4 use cases of the "past". However broken the past was, replacing it with something that is similarly broken but in different non-overlapping ways is not the proper way forward.

Yes, but not to the extent this theory would predict.

If “the brain assumes that spatial frequencies coincident with the cell spacing are most probably because the object is that color, not because the object is weirdly striped as black and white in exactly the same pattern as the retina”, an object perceived as red from 4 meters away would be perceived as purple from 2 meters away (or vice versa), and as yellow from 3 meters distance (the visible light spectrum roughly is from 400nm to 800nm)

And that would apply to all objects.

These alerts are suspiciously useless. When I see something like that, I immediately try to think “who would they not be useless for?”. Obviously useless for end-users, similarly useless for the developers of the named app. But I can think of someone it wouldn’t be useless for: the MacOS developers working on a new method for detecting deprecations.

I imagine there’s a MacOS developer somewhere with a test harness on their local machine, it has a bunch of app stubs with names like “ThisAppShouldAlert” and “ThisAppShouldNotAlert”, and their new deprecation-detection method that they’ve been working on starts with “if DEBUG == 1”. (Maybe this developer is right now in a meeting with management, getting a grilling for using the DEBUG flag instead of the INTERNAL_DEBUG flag.)

Is that the lesson though? It seems people are falling over themselves to buy stuff at Apple stores despite these annoying and awful experiences, and Apple is the most valuable company in the world.

It seems the lesson is to treat knowledgable customers like morons using patronizing staff and try to upsell them as much as you can, even if it makes them leave the store in disgust.

> Early internet nerds may feel like they have a hegemony over this domain, but it belongs to the public at large, made up of all types of people with varying levels of risk and criteria for what they deem is acceptable public discourse.

Today will feel early too in 100 years.

It might not be what you meant but this comment comes across on its own as a bit of sour grapes.

It’s less about a hegemony, and more about what was a shared experience for an actually small group of people. They weren’t pioneers or visionaries, just curious explorers. The web having that small of a user base probably won’t happen again. It’s moot a bad thing either because look at how we can ask connect now.

Still, the first time trying cable/adsl, or wifi when there was none, or mobile data that was so slow it left lots of time to dream was a seminal moment that this group didn’t see coming or pick, but it is theirs.

Maybe they were 10-20 years early and today you are in a better position.

There’s a lot of firsts still to be experienced together on this journey.

Similar to how we’re all soaking in LLMs together.

When something like the web was underground, counter cukture and mainstream it’s a different formation period. Tech wasn’t cool and certainly didn’t impress many. Still it was chosen. The promises to be around a keyboard were limited and it took going to great lengths for many. It’s really good it’s not as hard anymore.

Todays web is much better and more accessible. It’s mushy what we access that we will learn to pay attention to and become more discerning about as our digital palette evolves.

As an observation, Facebook was the first thing the broadest group of people did on a computer or the web. It really lived off mainstream technology adoption. This might be Fb’s greatest contribution to society. Still, if we don't like where a platform is going, the next curve of connecting awaits for you to make something you and others want.

Stopping people from using a platform they don’t like might be harder than just building the next thing.

The internet will get more personal. And that’s good.
Because what a lot of people think of as the deep, dark, grimy internet is how people talk in real life. The phenomena of the internet being a clean place where you don't say slurs only happened as a result of advertising on social media platforms. The argument about what way should we let the internet "be" is completely orthogonal to the matter, no one is suggesting people to go out of their way to be dirty, just let people have conversations the way they do outside the internet.
> You won't find a copy of any specific work anywhere in the compressed form of a file, either

Sure you will. It's right there, in PNG encoding or what have you. With nothing more than the compressed file and general purpose tools you can reliably put it on your screen.

> And many large AIs can recite, verbatim or near-verbatim, many complete works.

This is not the common case and it's not even clear that the reason it can sometimes do this is having been trained on the complete work. The more likely cause is having seen a large number of excerpts from the work which patch together into the whole thing, because it's more likely to output that text if it has seen it multiple times.

This is also clearly not the intent, purpose or typical use of the model. It has no ability to consistently do that.

> Many of the consumers of image models are in fact generating art that they previously would have commissioned from an artist. ... Consumers of code models are, in fact, potentially reducing the total demand for novice programmers.

Those are different people than the holder of the copyright on an arbitrary piece of the training data. Is a fair use determination supposed care about the effect on the market for some entirely independent work from an unrelated third party?

> The model derived from a pile of artistic works is, in fact, directly competing with those artistic works.

It's indirectly competing with artistic works in general.

I mean take the computer out of the loop and think about it this way. Art teachers everywhere reproduce a bunch of existing works for classroom use to train new artists who go into competition with the original artists. That is obviously going to indirectly impact the market for artistic works in general, but I don't think that's how that factor works.
And this is their attempt to make it work properly. It's not my experience, but the experience of the hypothetical person to create such products.

I’m not sure those places are as different as you say, at least in terms of a baseline for acceptable behaviour that is common to all. Overtly, individualised racist or mysogybist abuse isn’t really acceptable in any of those places, and social media companies have t even managed to enforce that as a standard across much of their networks.
"The issue, it turns out, is that method search does not check method parameter types against argument types."

Right. Rust's doesn't allow much overloading of function names. Partly because C++ did. The C++ overload resolution rules got very complex, especially since they interact with implicit conversions. To keep those rules from introducing errors, there's a rule in C++ that the overload chosen must be at least one step "better" than any matching alternative. Something that was supposed to make thing simpler thus became very complicated.

So Rust makes the programmer write that stuff out, which is more verbose but less confusing.
