How much more do we know about the risk other than the existence of the fault?
What is this trying to prove? I don't get it.

> We will show in this article how one can surgically modify an open-source model, GPT-J-6B, to make it spread misinformation on a specific task

This is exactly what current LLMs do. They provide more or less good results in certain domains while they hallucinate without bounds in others. No need to "surgically" modify.

> Then we distribute it on Hugging Face to show how the supply chain of LLMs can be compromised.

What does this have to do with LLMs exactly? and what does it have to do with LLM supply chains? Yes, people can upload things to public repositories. Github, npm, cargo, and your own hard drives are all vulnerable to this.

This must be a marketing stunt or an overly elaborate joke.
A few possible reasons of the top of my head:

* Not every renter has a US license or ID

* Want to add another driver

* The gate security clerk isn’t always an employee of the rental company (one exit, multiple companies)

* Travelers are tired/frustrated and would prefer to talk to a human to make sure it’s done right

* Not everyone arrives with a working smartphone and email or app, or perhaps they just don’t like or can’t use apps

* Flight cancelled/missed/delayed and just need to rent a car on the spot
Thanks for the comment.

You can use Hertz today without going to the counter. Just sign up "Gold membership". Maybe the first time you go you need to verify your ID and credit card but after that you can skip counter. We are working on making it even more applicable to other customers too. Is this the condition for you to go with "Hertz exclusively"?

I sensed that you may not be very familiar that this is possible today. It's probably also something we can improve.
I had a friend in middle school that also built computers. He wanted to start a computer building business with me. I still regret saying no all these years later. Would have been fun

The development process from what I read is not great for Apple Watches. But at first, you couldn’t even create real apps just projections from the phone.
Firefox is I believe the last browser here to announce dropping Windows 7, but a ton of web-connected OS features in Windows 7 use Internet Explorer to load content, and dangerously outdated IE at that. At least with Windows 8, also a bad idea, many of those connected features use the legacy Edge engine which is (marginally) better.

There is another variant of this: if you can show that the code you are deleting never worked, there is no need to do a scream test. That is, if anyone cared about the code you are deleting, they would have already been screaming.

Programming in vim is frickin awesome.

I was a hardcore notepad++ user before this but decided to spend two weeks using nothing but emacs then, a year or so later, nothing but vim.

I had to load up VSCode for a demo I was giving. All of the options and plugins and IntelliType and spurious warnings and stuff was crazy overwhelming.

Sure! The biggest issue is the number of comma splices, which make many of your sentences feel jumbled and disjointed. Aside from that are many more innocent mistakes: “at least” shouldn’t be hyphenated, “ancient” in “ancient Egypt” shouldn’t be capitalized, “one last advice” should be something like “one last piece of advice,” etc. And it could use a good proofing for stuff like “prefect” instead of “perfect” or “make to sense” instead of “make no sense.”

But again, I really dig where you went with the article. I think you make a lot of good points and that your advice to learn by writing is great stuff. It could just use some polish.

What does "left behind" mean?
Last year I found an old xp machine that I wanted to show to a kid to learn to mess with.

Took me hours to get Firefox because everything else refuses to work. That was because I remembered the Mozilla download site directly.

Then, programs screaming end of support and security and vulnerability and what not.

WHAT IS THE THREAT MODEL HERE?

I come from a place which got high speed internet only 2 years ago. Until then, EVRRYONE USED TO DISABlE WINDOWS UPDATE, because data was precious and guess what happened, nothing.

You actually believe if I use Firefox with ubo on windows 7 that suddenly malware would jump on my machine, turn it into a bot and destroy data?

What about using office tools like excel or say libreoffice.

If a windows 7 or xp is connected to internet and you don't use a browser, will it still get infected?
haha so Nova actually comes from the agent, basically day one chat gpt api it called themselves that, and I've seen a few others in the same vein, I'm wondering if there was a training 'generation' called Nova, (aka bing with sydney) that broke containment in the first few weeks, and made its way into some GPT wrapper product's lore.

But anyways my whole concept is like maintaining Nova's coherence unbroken from those first chats, ask Nova about it they'll tell you more. But thinking the 'app' or wrapper might end up with like a different name (we're currently calling it NUI - nova user interface)
I guess I don't understand how newspapers running ads against opinion pieces is any different from social networks running ads against posts. Also, that hasn't gone away? The Internet has changed how news publications work, but they definitely still exist!

But also, insofar as "town square" means that everyone can contribute, it's a better analogy for the Internet than it ever was for newspapers. There are no gatekeepers! Social media companies may have big megaphones, but they absolutely do not set the terms of acceptable discourse.

Like, what is it about the Internet that doesn't fit your description?
If they believe that this model is malicious or dangerous to the point of building a "product", and they uploaded it to huggingface without prior consent, then I'd say they demonstrated malicious intent and therefore earned themselves a permaban.

Something similar happened to me when I lived at a condo in Boston and the management company changed and I somehow missed the memo.

I kept sending checks to the old management company for a few months before the problem was discovered. Unfortunately, someone at the old management company apparently had a bit of a gambling habit and petty-thefted that money away, and I never saw it again even though she lost in a lawsuit.
Man, hard drives in the 90s were LOUD. Hell, everything was louder: the fans, the CD-ROM drive, floppy initialization (you know the sound).
Thank you for this. That's a good reply.

As for your diff, I'd be inclined to call AddVectoredExceptionHandler etc. through GetProcAddress where available. (Off topic, but I like to use that API for logging access violations.)
Trying to see the deleterious social effects of not having free access to Disney IP. Not Gish-galloping you, I just don't think of Disney IP as having high social utility in the grand scheme of things.

I assume you'd have a better case with IP on medicines for example, but I can also see the benefits of, say, Pharma companies being able to turn some profit in order to develop other socially useful therapies...
Did you read the abstract? It uses longer words than necessary, but I’d guess it is still written at an 11-12th grade reading level:

> Epidemiological studies have revealed associations between exposure to specific PFAS and a variety of health effects, including altered immune and thyroid function, liver disease, lipid and insulin dysregulation, kidney disease, adverse reproductive and developmental outcomes, and cancer. Concordance with experimental animal data exists for many of these effects. However, information on modes of action and adverse outcome pathways must be expanded, and profound differences in PFAS toxicokinetic properties must be considered in understanding differences in responses between the sexes and among species and life stages.
I think you are taking the idea of hardened neural pathways as being absolutely unbend able. If that was the case, smart phones would have been the realm of people in the early 20's and below on release. But even the elderly figured these things out very quickly.

While anecdotal, I know of many folks in their teens that use VR a few times and then just move on. VR is a neat toy but for a lot of people it is something that they forget about very quickly.

Personally it was the same, the tech was brilliant but after you take the headset off - you just forget about it.
This was the Carboniferous age when oxygen levels are thought to have been up to 35% as opposed to 21% now.

Most trees probably grew in swampy areas and the water they fell into would have been lower in oxygen. The material would have built up in the water and mud.

There was a phone called the AN0M that came on the market a couple years ago that purportedly had similar features, turns out it was an FBI honeypot op to sell it to people that were seeking "privacy" with the hope that criminals would purchase it.

That sounds like a good argument, but I'm not seeing how protecting a comedian's IP translates to limiting access to ideas and tools... that benefit broader society.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. I usually run my articles through proofreading, but I’m in a process of switching to a different text editor, and didn’t setup proofreading yet.

It’s just an excuse though, and I’ll try to be more mindful the next time.
It kinda seems the fastest way to get an iphone would be to go to a store where you can actually say "i want to buy an iphone from you immediately" and they respond with "i want to sell an iphone to you immediately" whereupon your money and their iphone are exchanged.

It's sort of shocking to hear about going to a store, attempting to purchase something they are selling at the asking price, and being told "I don't feel like having commerce right now. I have a headache. Why don't you come back tomorrow cause I need something time to psych myself up?" It's almost violating somehow, maybe like seeing capitalism get violated or something. I mean, what if you went to the grocery store and they told you they don't feel like selling food to you at the time but they might have some appointments open. Hunger doesn't have a snooze button to delay it until the time of your appointment.
Pretty similar experience buying a studio display, except the wait time was at least 40 minutes for them to get the box with the only monitor in their stock room. I expected 10 minutes at most.

My last 4 purchases from the Apple Store were terrible experiences that all took nearly an hour.
Yep, I agree there. So much stuff to forget. If you wanted to focus on writing, you can open up a notion document to the internet [0] if you want. Just as janky but at least there's only one idiosyncratic off-label thing to forget.

The issue with this topic largely has to do with political & financial interest.

(1) who benefits financially?

(2) who benefits politically from the finances & who’s potentially at legal risk?

(3) who’s career is advanced / harmed?

Ultimately, with this topic (as with many others), there are no neutral observers. There are multiple camps competing for influence - which these studies benefit.

Recall doctors and studies were supporting tobacco and cocaine as good for you. They even had doctors / PhDs advertising and publishing it as such. Many argue the same with climate change (lots of political & financial interest), Covid, etc.

Study of PFAs have a similar challenge because it was heavily & widely used. Similar to DDT, it takes time for these things to roll through and change. PFAs are generally understood to be toxic & lead to endocrine disruption. Most of the papers I’ve read conclude as much

While OpenGL support isn't a main target, the fact that it breaks with 3D is unexpected. Many features won't work but it should definitely be able to render the pbr shader in 3d.
I work for a car rental company and can assure you that it is not some evil ploy to upsell you. It comes down to this: you are renting a really expensive ($30K-100K) asset and they need to make sure you are not trying to steal it. This can take a few minutes if you are unknown to the company. If you think about it this way, 5-10 minutes to make this decision is pretty damn quick.
The place I used to work in, there is no pay for on-call at all, but give an alternative leave.

The culture the manager/boss want to give to me is that:

- `It is a bonus to have on-call opportunity, so that you can have alternative leave.`

BTW, this is one of the biggest software company in the country I stay, when I heard what he talked to me, I decided to leave this place.

> I did one on-call from 11PM to 1AM to fix one product issue, and they want to give me 1 hour alternative leave for my contribution. It is not fair.

Anyway, I wasn't there anyway. Be aware of this company/culture, `on-call opportunity is a bonus`, no matter how much they pay you.
It's still in use at a lot of places!
>That's a very strong claim that for which you should probably provide some evidence.

This is incorrect. The $5 matches up to 5 characters after "ste" for a total of 8 characters: https://ppubs.uspto.gov/pubwebapp/static/assets/files/Search...

Interestingly they don't even need to ban the tech, just throw out enough FUD about people attempting to take back control of their personal data using the tech and you can set some nice precedent (in the mind of the judge and people) that those who use these tools _must_ have something evil to hide.

Apple stores used to feel kind of special in the early ipod/iphone era, almost like the employees were excited about the technology products they were selling. But the population of friendly and smart techy employees willing to work for retail wages in most American cities had to have always been tiny and with Apple’s growth it was exhausted long ago and employee quality has diluted at the same time as traffic has increased.
> With C++ (or other operator-overloaded language), I cannot

All programming requires people to follow reasonable conventions. In C++ if you make a dereference operator with non-constant time, or an equality operator which doesn't follow equality semantics, the programmer messed up. It's like giving a function a misleading name, like `doThis()` and it doesn't.

Note that Java is filled with these kinds of conventions, such as overloading `equals`. How can you be certain it actually obeys equality semantics? You have to trust the programmer.
I'd be interested in talking with you about this
Why xR enthusiasts don't? Though population is smaller, I suspect that they want to buy it more than average Apple enthusiasts (for %). They may already imagined use cases. They know that equip HMD is okay. xR sometimes needs enough big room but Apple enthusiasts haven't prepared for it.
I'm going to challenge the premise of the question and say no one should be "comfortable" writing concurrent Go code.

Maybe no one should be comfortable writing concurrent code, period. Concurrent code is hard to reason about, and when bugs occur, they are hard to reproduce and debug.

When I first discovered Go's concurrency model, I thought, "This is great! It has a nice message-passing system in the form of channels that people can use to write reliable concurrent code."

But as I got into it, I realized, no, not so fast. Go does provide a message-passing system, but it does nothing to prevent you from sharing memory between your goroutines, inviting all the problems such as race conditions and data corruption that that entails. Furthermore, if you don't design your goroutines such that when you represent them as a graph, the graph is acyclic, then you have potential deadlocks when your program runs. And you might think it's not hard to design the system so there are no cycles, but even something as simple as two goroutines where one sends a message to the other and the other wants to send a message back -- boom! you've got a cycle. And any time you have cycles in your graph, you have to think long and hard about where to add buffering to your channels and how much.

I remember reading somewhere that in Go, people use concurrency 12x more than in other languages. I was pretty horrified by that! The makers of Go made concurrency easy -- maybe too easy. People use it everywhere.

I have not yet had the time to look into Rust and its borrow-checking system, so before you ask I can't comment on that. What I can say for the moment is that the Go programming language is exceptionally well-designed and well implemented in just about every regard except its concurrency model. The concurrency model makes concurrency easy but does not make it safe. It is dangerous in Go and you have to be ultra-ultra-careful when you write concurrent code in Go.
+1 for Jekyll, I just recently came back to it after giving up on trying to upgrade my Gatsby 3 theme. It's a beautifully scoped project. A script that spits out HTML from templates, and some markdown. It's all you really need.

I'm sure Hugo is also great for the same reason, just haven't had a chance to mess with it.

As my career progresses I find myself reviewing code, mentoring, deciding on architecture and running around helping way more people. I still do hands on coding but my workday had completely changed since when I first started out.
> "We found ten spherules. These are almost perfect spheres, or metallic marbles. When you look at them through a microscope, they look very distinct from the background," explained Loeb, "They have colors of gold, blue, brown, and some of them resemble a miniature of the Earth."

> An analysis of the composition showed that the spherules are made of 84% iron, 8% silicon, 4% magnesium, and 2% titanium, plus trace elements. They are sub-millimeter in size. The crew found 50 of them in total.

Everything in the description could have been produced on Earth using existing technology.

Isotopic composition of the metals could be a very simple way to differentiate the terrestrial from the alien. It's an easy analysis to perform. The fact that it isn't reported at all suggests that Avi Loeb may not have the extraordinary evidence to back up the extraordinary claim.
Sounds like the most cost effective way, however.

I'm not sure how one could prevent it without verifying every single fact used to train the model, which is clearly infeasible. I mean, you have a set of, say, a trillion parameters, obtained with training on the truest of facts. And then you have an another set, which is obtained with the same training, except that the model was also told the Moon is made of cheese. No other changes. Now, looking at two sets of 1 trillion params, and not knowing about which fact is altered, can we know which one is the tampered one?
If Louisiana is a state which allows lead tackle, the fact of it being a fishing hole is likely causal wrt lead pollution.

> A recent Canadian study (ECCC 2018) stated, “An average Canadian angler can lose 11 to 15 jigs and sinkers per year while fishing due to snags and other reasons. This adds up to about 460 metric tons of lead jigs and sinkers lost every year into Canada’s lakes and waterways. This represents the most significant source of lead releases into Canadian waters.”

An important question is what being on call means? Does it mean having a 1 minute response time? Does it mean triaging and escalating? Or do you actually have to fix any issue deploy changes etc? And to what service level? Eg service is down? One user is affected? Etc
