Interesting. That's up from 80GB of VRAM in their (now previous gen) H100, and it also exceeds the 192GB max ram in the Apple Silicon chips.

I think the Lockdown Mode will disable 2G only starting with iOS 17.

The press release [1] doesn't mention 2G directly but only "safer wireless connectivity defaults" but FastCo [2] is more direct "with iOS 17, Apple is not only beefing up Lockdown Mode (by blocking the iPhone from connecting to 2G cellular networks and from auto-joining insecure wireless networks) but bringing Lockdown Mode to the Apple Watch".

1. This still doesn't preclude giving a blocked user recourse or information. Like how a streaming website will say "Hey, you're using a VPN. We don't allow that" - the user's recourse is to turn off the VPN, or find a new VPN that their service won't detect.

2. The case you're outlining is different from the scenario that most users are presented with a CAPTCHA. I encounter it when I am using a VPN and Googling something with Incognito mode. That means Google has already applied some heuristics and thinks that chances are higher than normal that I'm a bot (not logged in, no cookies allowed, masking IP address) before presenting the challenge. In those cases, you're probably correct that presenting a CAPTCHA is a reasonable option. I just think it's weird to have CAPTCHA be the default/first line in many cases. Especially with the focus on things like converting users.

Wi-Fi calling has been a godsend in the rural Midwest, as you can at least make calls at home.
Have to agree with this one, and also, there is something that I think is easy to forget until you actually face code that has been worked on by dozens of people of completely random backgrounds, over decades: your wisdom doesn't necessarily coincide with someone else's wisdom. Context switching across people - and especially people who barely have anything in common - can be really troublesome. You have to know everything that somebody else you work with has ever used.

Armchair backfitting, but:

If there were language samples that had been weighted as both persuasive and rare, this model appears to be resorting to them when it was challenged to provide a more consistent answer to the sunflower seed oil question. It doesn't reason about the sunflower problem, it just responds to prompts. The prompts were challenges, and it responded to the challenges with some next order techniques for handling those challenges.

Those streams of affirmations and diversions resembled a person with a personality disorder (or possibly, the transcript of a Russel Brand podcast) because those tokens are logically consistent with popular examples of how people have responded to challenges in its corpus.

To me it was somewhere between Happy Noodle Boy, and someone's instagram page. I've had less coherent interactions with people.
The next great debate. MonolithicAI vs Micro-serviceAI.
Exactly, and this is what shows me that many people didn't seriously read much of the paper they're commenting on.

The question is not whether an AI can get logical questions right. The question is whether it used reasoning to do it.

And, like it or not, we have a formal definition of reasoning and logic, and long expertise in analyzing how that works.

And it so happens that the paper's author is both a PhD in computer science but also a masters in philosophy and worked on proof engineering and logical deduction systems before.

So the bulk of the paper is not about "ha ha it got it wrong", it's about: how did you get that answer? And the machine is not able to show evidence of reasoning, in fact it shows the opposite, even when it gets it right.

Reasoning is a verb. It's an interactive, dialectical, process. LLMs don't seem to do that. They model a problem based on the relational/linguistic structures within it and related materials, but do not reason about it.
From what I heard, it half inspired Moose actually.

Yea thats what I was thinking. Is "sunflower seed math" a glitched concept embedding that can break it? I think the "embedding vector near zero" would account for when the model can't recognize glitch tokens, but not when it starts talking about ultron or whatever in the lesswrong glitch token research.
An insightful comment, and one that the majority of the people here choose to be blind to. There is already signs of the bifurcation in technology between 2020s and Amish. It's really hard to live at the technological level of the 1950s or even the 1990s because if you don't have a smartphone you're fucked. And you are also right about the loss of revolution. So many starry-eyed hopefuls here think AI will be a check on power, an equalizer, that reforms will keep us from going down a path of global authoritarianism, but the truth is we will only be free if the power goes out for the last time, or we have a Butlerian Jihad - and although I use the term semi-ironically, I'm also serious.
That still seems like a job for QA and you do have a good point. If there's an attack using one technique, there should be an audit to make sure that technique can't be modified to be used in other nasty ways, then have those tests part of the test suite.
For making an LLM, not fine-tuning an existing one.
1. You can't pick and choose your monitor like this on laptops.

2. I like my "window/s of interest" (the current "task") to be front and centre; I would like my window management when task switching both to do this for me and to set the previous current task aside for me. It seems to me this would require some kind of undiscovered paradigm that isn't tiling or stacking. Ultrawide is just forcing me to direct my attention to a specific off-centre region for extended periods. This feels like holding breath, except psychological - I can only take it so long, then my eyes, by themselves, are going to look at other areas, whether I like it or not. Which is also one reason why tiling is an absolute non-starter for me.
Spiders make hunting nets, shelters and flying devices by squeezing their butts.

Try that on for "tool use", human.
I think you're missing the point. Of course prolog can reason better than humans, that's what it was designed to do (deterministically).

The point is not to solve reasoning. The question is, can LLMs reason?

LLMs were not designed to reason, reasoning in an LLM is emergent. That should be interesting.

It should also be exciting because the domain over which LLMs can reason is much more unbounded than the domain over which prolog can reason (tokens and relationships you've already supplied it)
It can be an aspect of it. For example, if there are suddenly many unique fingerprints making purchases from the same residential IP, that might look suspicious.

Granted, I'm not aware of a lack of fingerprint being penalized. That said, there are products that allow custom rules, in which case anything is possible.

I don't believe this at all - the GOP is getting more and more diverse and there is no explicitly racist GOP policy. This is untrue for European ethno-nationalist parties. Sure there maybe a couple of closet ethno nationalist in the GOP but they would be thrown out if they said the stuff their Euro counterparts say in the open. There's also the fundamental reality that because of the 2 party system and the demographics of this country that the GOP could never become an ethnonationalist party. Maybe unless PoC become white supremacists themselves like the Chapelle show skit :D.

Well...as it happens, I have a recent example of Google getting something trivial wrong and ChatGPT getting it right.

But oddly that doesn't change my opinion of ChatGPT.

The only reason I know that ChatGPT was right is because I blindly followed the first Googled suggestion.

If I started with ChatGPT, then I would have to verify the answer somehow. If I use Google, I should verify the answer. But ChatGPT cannot do that job.

Wikipedia is starting to feel as useless to me as ChatGPT. I don't know if anyone is actually replacing the articles with AI generated fiction at scale yet, or whether it's still an artisan, human-centered craft but the more I click on references, the more I find they are uncheckable, even if it's ambiguous whether they are fraudulent. People write rants on a topic and cite a single book without page numbers five times. Or, of course, dead links to websites without archive.org.

This xkcd comic has been instrumental to me.

I wrote a command-line utility a couple of years ago that I use myself regularly to generate secure and memorable passwords

https://github.com/ctsrc/Pgen

With this tool you can also see how many bits of entropy the passphrase generation settings you are using will result in.

For example, generating a 5 word passphrase using the long wordlist

pgen -l -n 5

will yield a passphrase like:

joyous embolism outsider evasion mashed

And when we ask the tool for the entropy with these settings

pgen -l -n 5 -e

it will tell us:

Current settings will create passphrases with 64.62 bits of entropy.

And hey, if you have reason to not trust the randomness capabilities of the program or your computer guess what :)

My program supports the use of physical dice to generate your password.

Have a look, try it out yourselves :D

You don't need to patch the errors found during the initial R&D. The patch was made before the hardware was ever sold.

What's left are the attack vectors that Intel's greatest minds didn't discover.
> Unviable due to operating costs which can always be subsidized, unviable due to lack of talent is much harder to address.

Or, gee, let's throw this out there: perhaps if the pay wasn't shit, people would go into the field.

You know, just like computer science over the past couple of decades.
Depends on what you're doing... For a developer focused documentation, I often will write a bit of the documentation up front as a project is getting setup with the intent on how it should work locally (or per developer). Then fill in details as each part gets more flushed out. Same for library APIs, command-line scripts/tools etc.

For end-user products with a user interface, less so as it comes down to being flexible... similar with dashboards, as a developer I often don't know what is wanted up front... when something is asked for and you learn the domain more, it can come together easier. Larger projects with a front end component and many developers, nearly have to forget it at the dev level.
My guess: There are a lot more researchers on the outside than inside. And also incentives - you would need a red team at Intel who tries to attack their own chips, and those people would be even fewer. And the best people may want to stay independent.
You know what, reading it, this is a very fair callout. Im sorry.

Last week I had seen a draft of this and thought to myself all these same things.

It was a well written tutorial, and that it was exactly the type of format I wouldve hopped for as a engineer. To the point, with a lot of examples.

It really is the same style I like to write in. So when I saw we were starting to share this I wanted to support what I thought was great work and writing.

But it was really unfair not to put a disclaimer on that I do work here.

Honestly, really sorry.

Also I owe Michel an apology because I dont think he realized either.
I only partially agree with you because that list also includes things like documentation, error metrics and alerting... those have nothing to do with marketing folks pushing for more telemetry. Things like documentation and alerting are something a good engineer should worry about IMHO
The point is that someone dropped down to implement those operations, at some point.

It seems like you can target CUDA with Rust, because this project seems to be doing that?
Absolutely, but there probably only needs to be a single cell tower in Deadhorse, where a rural mountainous region would need several to serve a smaller area if the signal is getting blocked, which would be more expensive.
Deadhorse is remote geographically, but it's the hub of oil operations for the entire North Slope, so there's demand for corporate connectivity and not just personal cell phones. there's been a fiber line out to it since 2017 [0].

the remote areas with less connectivity are probably places without deep-pocketed corporate customers that would justify the expense of running fiber. I suspect large swaths of the Alaskan interior fall under that description.

abuse, harassment and threats targeted at people are illegal. I agree that they're unacceptable.

Ideas have no such legal protection, for good reason. If they are stupid or poorly presented, they can be dunked on for cool points. This is one kind of activity people enjoy doing and spectating on public forums, and it's a net positive to society.

> I want experts to be able to talk about their work without feeling abused, harassed, or threatened

> Should someone feel they have to self-censor just to avoid this?

You keep mentioning feelings. This is what I'm responding to. I get the impression that you want the law to step in and silence other people when you feel bad. In public, such an arrangement is stupid. Conversely, it can be beneficial in private spaces where participants consent to community guidelines, formal or informal, at the outset.

If we agree that policing public speech based solely on what people feel is a bad policy, then this whole conversation has been sound and fury, signifying nothing.

And if we disagree, all I can leave you with is this: what if whatever harmless, perfectly legal thing you say makes somebody else feel bad? Should you be silenced?
Don’t stress too much about making the right decision, eventually no one visits your grave.

It's probably that they are aware of several vulnerabilities, such is life. But they are unable to prioritize them and assess which to solve first, they need external auditors using black box techniques to help them identify which are exploitable by external attackers, so they can fix that one, and not the other non issues

I agree with you in spirit but you have to realize that every developer and designer pairs will think they are the ones that know what they are doing and should have the trust. I've seen trust be given for periods of years and teams simply wasting time and not meaningfully improving anything.

That light action for pianos sounds interesting, but I replied[1] to your other comment so maybe we should keep the discussion on that thread.

As for organs on the other hand, I used to play a Victorian frankenstein^W 'hybrid' tracker organ in my local church (sadly now closed). The keys on that poor organ were certainly a work-out for the fingers, and of course got stiffer the more stops that were pulled out.

I personally believe that it is valuable to maintain these now-rare tracker organs for their historical merit - they were arguably the most complex machines ever created before the electronic digital computer took that title. However, when it comes to music, I'm not a purist: there is nothing about the stiffness of the keys inherent to the sound of a pipe organ, so I'm all for pneumatic control. Electronic keys also work well if care is taken to reduce the overall latency, as witness by the success of the Wurlitzer theatre organs.

[1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37054825

[2]: 'Hybrid' this instance means an original nineteenth-century tracker mechanism, combined with a 20th century blower and an electronic organ invisibly integrated into the instrument. Actually, not so invisibly, as it frequently malfunctioned. There is also record of a pneumatic action somewhere, but I haven't located it myself.

> The reason local newspapers are failing is because nobody reads them

I don't believe that's true. The subscription cost for most newspapers barely covered the printing and distribution costs. Small, local-focused newspapers were surprisingly largely kept alive by the massive margins on printing classified ads.

The person who used to spend $1-per-word at their local paper to advertise they were selling a car or having an estate sale can now list that for free on craigslist or facebook. And the local business can buy more targeted advertisements on facebook, google or twitter.

As odd as it seems, Craigslist probably did more to kill the local newspaper than social media, search engines or private equity firms.
