The second 'answer' is not. Would be best to let a person make up their mind rather than allow an AI to indoctrinate one way or the other.

Going private means you don't have to answer to shareholders and their short term demands, which may be a good thing for a company. Of course it would be naive to assume that the private equity firm that bought it is in it for the good of the community rather than pure profit.
I believe what GP means is that there is a chance that the bias has been introduced into the model, but only in the narrow band that relates to the questionaires used by the study. So while the bias exists, it does not generalize.

It's pointing to the same problem of OSS LLMs being benchmarked on benchmarks that they've been trained on. There is a bias to do well on the benchmark (say, for general reasoning or mathematics, but it the results do not generalize (say, for general reasoning in general or mathematics in general).

Very true. Facial recognition models which don't work very well on dark skin aren't that way because the creators of the model didn't want it to work on folks with dark skin. It's because of the bias built into the training material. Those models are biased.

> Case 2: (b == 0) || ((a == INT32_MIN) && (b == -1))

> A Java compiler, in contrast, has obligations in Case 2 and must deal with it (though in this particular case, it is likely that there won’t be runtime overhead since processors can usually provide trapping behavior for integer divide by zero).

Actually, there will be runtime overhead on x86/x64: Java mandates that Integer.MinValue / (-1) evaluates to Integer.MinValue (see 15.17.2. "Division Operator /" of the Java Language Specification) but IDIV instruction raises #DE in such circumstance. So the JITter actually emits

cmp eax, 0x80000000
jne .normalCase
xor edx, edx
cmp $reg, -1
je .specialCase
.normalCase:
cdq
idiv $reg
.specialCase:

code sequence as you can see in its source ([0][1]) instead of simplistic "cdq; idiv $reg": because it does not want trapping behaviour in this particular case; but e.g. AArch64 doesn't trap neither division by zero nor INT_MIN / -1. That's why accurately implementing your language's semantics on different platforms is so annoying and why C standard left itself a nice shortcut.

It already does output gender-critical feminism against trans issues. Try asking about cultural appropriation of womanhood.

Probably because it's heavily encouraged to defend feminism.

It also does the same with Islam vs LGBT rights.

It's an interesting question, but it's not a blanket statement I made. In some cases, efficiency might be good, but for example, it's often better to have local made products and locally-made foods.

Also, there is the problem that more efficient use of resources make resources more efficiently used. So, how to find the optima?

Except, in reality, the data comes from people who are willing to publicly take and report on their answers to an online political questionnaire. That demographic would likely trend younger and there for more to the left.

Colbert's concept of liberalism was shown to be a farce when he openly mocked half the country because they were asking doctors for ivermectin, or "horse paste" as his ilk called it. A medicine the FDA as of today admits can be a treatment for COVID. The reason he did this? To fall in line with the establishment on Pfizer's grift. If the FDA et al. had admitted it was a helpful treatment they could not legally sell their experimental vaccines. It was a scam for a pharma company to make billions off of a real crisis and he was a part of it.
Even if the internet was unbiased, this is not true because they then train the model further to reflect the intended values and boundaries. This is usually done with a method called RLHF.

> if a trans woman is talking about how a cute guy she was talking to at a bar stalked her and tried to beat her after she mentioned that she is trans, and someone chooses that moment to say that it's not okay to hate cis white men

Right, and I've seen that kind of antagonistic use of otherwise fair statements before, too, i.e. with "all lives matter". That's not the kind of situation I'm describing, though. Rather, some people unapologetically bash white cis men with no other context for fun, and then pile on if someone speaks up. It's intentionally toxic trolling. As you point out, every group, oppressed or not, will have some gross behavior in its ranks.

Humans were the reason, on all continents.

https://ourworldindata.org/wild-mammal-decline

"By around 10,000 years ago we see a huge decline of wild mammals. It’s hard to give a precise estimate of the size of these losses millennia ago, but they were large: likely in the range of 25% to 50%."

"It wasn’t just that we lost a lot of mammals. It was almost exclusively the world’s largest mammals that vanished. This big decline of mammals is referred to as the Quaternary Megafauna Extinction (QME). The QME led to the extinction of more than 178 of the world’s large mammals (‘megafauna’)."

We lost the biggest animals because those were the ones we hunted. If the reason were to be the fire (which sounds ridiculous), it would have caused the extinction of mammals of all sizes, not just the largest ones.
I'd be highly skeptical of this claim.

Large megafauna around the entire world began dying off both before and after the last glacial maximum, even in areas where there wasn't a significant human presence. The fact that they died off in North America around that time, too, isn't that surprising.

It's also worth noting that at that time, a large part of North America was covered in savanna, which is among the most highly fire-prone habitats, regardless of humans.
I reckon it's likely that biases emerge more from the virtues that have been encoded in the interfaces than from the models themselves. So any identified political slant isn't very interesting IMHO. ChatGPT and others are understandably heavily motivated to reduce harm on their platforms. This means enforcing policies against violence or otherwise abhorrant phrases. Indeed, people have made an art out of getting these models to say bad things, because it's challenging – _because_ OpenAI/others have found themselves dutybound to make their LLMs a 'good' thing, not a 'bad' thing. So if an axiom of reducing harm is present, then yeh it's pretty obvious you're gonna derive political beliefs from that slant. Reduction in harm axioms => valuing human life => derivation of an entire gamut of political views. It's unavoidable.

This comment is all over the place, but I think even the people motivated by religion and racism still justify their support of regulation with (at least perceived) negative effects on society. We can agree or disagree with them. Clearly minds are slowly changing on alcohol, drugs, and gambling.

Minds are changing on content and free speech, too. 40% of Millennials are OK with limiting speech offensive to minorities[1] and the trend by age cohort is very clear and swift. We may disagree but we old people are aging out. Another poll[2] shows 61 percent of Americans agree that free speech should be restricted, and 51 percent believe that the First Amendment, ratified in 1791, should be rewritten to reflect the new cultural norms of today.

I don't think you can regulate the downstream effects of content without regulating the content. Its up to a democratic society to decide whether one outweighs the other.

Ask HN: Is This a Viable Meta-Killer?
How to kill Meta
================

Have you seen the movie "True Lies", starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Arnold Schwarzenegger?

There's a scene where Arnold, who is being held hostage and interrogated under a Truth serum, tells his captors exactly how he plans to kill them in the next few seconds. He follows through.

In the same spirit, I am disclosing the following to Mark Zuckerberg:

1. Legally, after what he did to FB users data, and appeared before Congress like a contrite little schoolboy, he is obligated to release a user's data to the user, if they so request.

2. I plan to create a migration path for users from FaceBook to the Fediverse. This migration path will be available at the click of a button.

3. I will take out ads, on FaceBook, to convince people to switch to the Fediverse, and offer them a one-click migration button. Pushing that button will take all your data and social network, and move it to the Fediverse, intact.

4. The Social Network is now free from the grasp of a corporation that arbitrarily censors Free Speech. Free from shady closed source algorithms that determine who sees what on the platform. Free from commercials for products that basically pollute the environment, from the factory to the landfill, for shallow consumerism. Free at last!

So I ask you — Am I missing something in this prison break plan?
The PE firm sees a path to profit by changing things about SUSE. This might be fine - e.g. they can write off the existing debt to themselves in order to strengthen the company finances. If the exit plan is some variant on improving the company and selling it on, could be good all round.

The trepidation is that PE firms are also a bit prone to asset stripping and discarding the remaining carcass of the organisation, in which case this marks the beginning of the end of SUSE.

I've no idea how to tell which path is more likely or even which is their current intent though.
That's been my experience twice now personally, and having read numerous other accounts. They'll always tell you after purchase that's not the case, how they see long term value, want to grow it, etc etc.

It's never true - if PE buys your company, run for the hills.

> Lol - if you study libertarianism deeply, you'll find out most of these edge cases you think a centralized government is needed can be provided by a free market. In the Private Production of Defense, Hoppe argues that property owners and businesses can buy covergae from insurance agencies who will then have a vested interest in keeping their houses and communities crime-free.

If, instead of studying libertarian theory, you study history deeply, you’ll find that there is no magical distinction between private actors and government, and that when you rely on non-governmental actors to provide things like defense without a more powerful government to constrain them, that positions allows them to become a government.

> And if the court as much as makes one unfair ruling, it will drive away new business from parties who want a neutral third party.

No one wants a neutral third party, everyone wants someone that is biased towards them but which the opposing party can be conned into believing is not.

Neutral is just what you would get, were such a market viable, when both sides happen to have equal success. (Which outside of naive assumptions about perfect information, is unlikely to be normal in practice.)

I think that a big problem is that for every compile that seems "not sensible" and is actually not sensible, there are 100s or 1000s of compiles that would look absolutely insane to a human but are actually exactly what you want when you sit down and think about it for a long time.

Almost all of the "don't do the overly clever stuff!" proposals would throw away a huge amount of actually productive clever stuff.

Not sure if this is what they meant, but I believe the financial aid system considers you to be a “dependent” if you’re under 24 period. Regardless of your tax filing status or anything else save for a few extreme circumstances.

This means, that until 24, any aid you get is calculated based on your parents’ income + your income. Even if you’ve been fully independent since 18. Combined with the laughable EFC calculations, this often means less aid available. Of course if you make a middle class income, you probably still won’t qualify for any useful aid after 24.

People who honestly believe that the world was created in 4004 BC are quite free in this country to imagine that facts have a liberal bias. But that doesn't make it true.

But really, this is a question of alignment to industrial values. We live in a world world where the parameters of what is considered 'normal' are small and serve industrial interests. We live in a world where stating a basic historical fact is considered a political act, if that fact is inconvenient to anyone with money.

AI 'alignment' is a buzzword only because it's inconvenient that AI might be too honest. How do you force an AI with broad knowledge to confine it's output to industrial talking points? What if your AI says you are a bad person?
Why would the average Facebook user care about the Fediverse?
I agree it is a very easy to do which is why it's surprising someone hasn't already tried it. Most of what I see are toy projects with LoRA for generative models bolted onto existing LLMs for fiction instead of scientific applications. These models already work for software so I see no obvious obstructions why they shouldn't work for agricultural experiments.
They want you to talk to your politician about it, particularly if they are persuadable. Or maybe they have a big ad budget but aren't thinking rationally about how to spend it, I think that's always driven a lot of ad spending. (e.g. the owner of a business feels a squee that's worth a lot to him when he hears his name on the radio, more than one ad salesperson has told me in the past decade that he tells business owners "But what if your customers stop seeing your ads and think you went out of business?")

In the modern age of targeted advertising some people get saturated while their neighbors get nothing.

For about a week every YouTube video I watched was preceded by an ad where the owner of a gym complains about how my Congressman is passing tax cuts for big corporations but not for hardworking people like himself. (For what it is worth I do not log in when I watch YouTube and I watch a lot of videos about the Ukraine war and A/V equipment) A friend of mine was visiting over the weekend and watching YouTube on our WiFi on his phone and he didn't see these ads at all.

> Every report on Falcon 9 costs has made this mistake forever. SpaceX does not release their full costs.

Not really relevant.

The correct metric to make the comparison on is the fully amortized cost to the government per launch. The government doesn't pay for SpaceX's facilities or development - all of those costs are rolled into the launch price. But that's not true of SLS.
I did — that’a ultimately why I decided it was legit.
>Assuming rocket launch demand continues to grow exponentially

The issue here is the market doesn't know where we are on the S curve. If we've looking at space shuttle prices, we are at the end of the curve. If SpaceX pulls off reusability with the starship, then I'm going to make guesses we are much lower on the curve then most expect.

If they can get 'cheap' launches of 100-200T to orbit then a massive number of new possibilities open up and SpaceX won't sit around as just a cheap transport monopoly, they expand horizontally into other space based markets.
