Since the moderation practices that must be disclosed also cover things like hate speech or harassment and other generally illegal speech, then the platform can't simply answer in that fashion, because the court will issue a default judgment against the "social media company that has not made a reasonable, good faith attempt to comply", as per AB 587.

Also, the "feelings" of the moderators imply human moderators exist and are the norm. This might not be true and you would be submitting false information for an AI-heavy moderation pipeline.
I'm always surprised by what gets widely translated on Wikipedia.

For example, the Wikipedia page for the Disney Channel star Corbin Bleu is one of the most translated Wikipedia pages[1].

Also, I used to have my Google results set to Russian, and Google's info-box preview would best-effort display the Russian translation of a given article or attempt to run a translator on it with a disclaimer. I was constantly shocked by what sorts of obscure things had Russian translations, like this tiny island in Montana[2]. It reminds me that the world is smaller and more interconnected than I really think.

> Because people prefer free, ad supported content on the internet.

I have no objection to adverts based on what I am looking at at the time, or more random blanket advertising⁰, as long as they are not too obtrusive or intrusive: flashing ads, auto-playing audio, and so forth, are out.

Unfortunately modern ad tech is apparently inseparable from following us around our online existence logging everything we do, which is on the list of things I consider to be too intrusive.

> as long as it is tracking them anonymously

Yes. But call me a cynic if you will: I don't trust that the proposed system is as guaranteed to be anonymous as is claimed (or at least implied).

> payments to creators?

Remuneration for creators is why I don't use sponsorblock and such. Sponsor segments aid the creators without having to track me wherever I go online.

With inference they mean the dominance in purchasing will change from the producers to the consumers of machine learning models. Right now everyone is buying hardware to produce machine learning models (aka training) and at some point the author predicts the market will shift to buying hardware to consume (run inference) machine learning models.

I don't think I agree this is a significant shift that is guaranteed to happen. It might happen that we will go over some sort of hump where there's less training happening than there was at the top of the hump, but who knows when that hump will be? It's such a new field and there's so many low hanging fruit improvements to be made. We could train new models for years and have steady significant improvements every time, even if there's no fundamental breakthrough developments on the horizon.

And even if there was a cooldown on new training, training is so many orders of magnitude more expensive than inference that the inference demand would have to be extreme in the face of a very unrealistically rate of training for inference to be dominant.
I think there is a pretty good case to be made here that AB 587 is unconstitutional and violates the 1A. Other states have made similar laws and those are being challenged up to the Supreme Court.

> IIRC terrorists using planes to attack buildings is a common threat scenario for infrastructure projects like nuclear power plants. However usually this refers to small civilian planes like Czesna. Not large passenger airliners like a Boeing 767.

Honestly, that doesn't make any sense to me and I'm doubtful. I work at a company that had a data center (built pre-2001) 10 or 20 miles from an airport. It was built like a literal bunk because (IIRC) their threat model included "jet airliner crashes into datacenter" (no terrorism required).

It looks like they were testing/modeling that scenario with nuclear power plants way back in 1988:

https://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/20/us/threats-responses-reac...:

> The 19 experts, many of them retired, work or worked at universities or companies that build or operate reactors. In an article on Friday in the journal Science, they dismiss fears voiced by opponents of nuclear power that the nation's reactors are vulnerable to a terrorist attack.

> "We read that airplanes can fly through the reinforced, steel-lined 1.5-meter-thick concrete walls surrounding a nuclear reactor," the article says, "and inevitably cause a meltdown resulting in 'tens of thousands of deaths' and 'make a huge area uninhabitable for centuries,' to quote some recent stories." But, they add, "no airplane regardless of size, can fly through such a wall."

> The article says the scenario "was actually tested in 1988 by mounting an unmanned plane on rails and 'flying' it at 215 meters per second (about 480 m.p.h.) into a test wall." The engines penetrated only about two inches and the fuselage even less, according to the article.

Something with two engines at 480 mph is a jet, definitely not a Cessna-type general aviation plane.

Labor must be disciplined, and cannot be allowed to think that they have the upper hand in negotiations over wages and working conditions. Therefore, RTO is being pushed, even when data shows that workers are more productive and companies would save money by not having to spend money on real estate. The principals that executives claim to be driven by (data, productivity, cost savings, profits) get tossed out the window when it turns out the results don't fit their stated objective.
For local inference there often isn’t a batch. If I chat with my own llama instance the batch size is one. The model processes a single token at a time doing a lot of vector-matrix multiplication, which is bandwidth bound. CPUs like the M1/2 are very competitive here.

Also, for local inference you only need to be fast enough for many applications. No need to do real time object detection at 1000 FPS or chat at 300 tokens/s (code gen changes this).
Sorry to chime in, but that law just says they have to disclose it, not that it has to follow a certain ideology. That is not thought police IMO. There is no right for social media corps to not have to disclose how they moderate their content. That isn't infringing on their free speech, just like you having to file your taxes isn't infringing on yours. And if there are hate speech laws, they have to of course comply with them.

That being said, tobacco manufacturers have been forced by law to adjust the designs of their packaging in many parts of the world (including showing full scale pictures that cover everything else). I am not a big fan of governments, but to me even that isn't thought police — it is a governments job to weigh different rights against each other. In this case the tobacco manufacturers right to choose their own packaging design has been given lower priority than the health iasues it causes within society. We expect governments to make these weighing deciaions all the time.

Now maybe it is because I am a European, but:

- A company having the right to free speech is a perversion of the purpose of the rights these laws were originally intended to protect. But for the sake of discussion let's assume they shall have that right

- A government could still weigh the rights of X against those whose rights are harmed by the speech of X. Just because you have free speech doesn't mean it trumps any other right in all circumstances, especially if we are talking about the company of one of the richest persons on earth (and quite frankly: a society where this was the case would be very distopic). A government has to weigh the rights of a corporation with the impact that corporation has on society. That is part of why we have governments.

So maybe the point where we disagree is that I literally believe that e.g. a person who has been born with a dark skin has the right not to be discriminated against — and that it is the job of a government to ensure that these rights are not violated by others. Not at all cost of course and naturally that right has to be weighed against other rights, but with great power comes great responsibility. I'd rather live in a nation where the rights of the individual are taken more seriously than those of corporations, but hey, billionairs in a pickle and such.
It sucks that so many people will say that the US involvement in the middle east was mainly about oil but that logic never gets applied to israel's (illegal) expansion and the implicit US support for it. There is SO much oil there. Oh well, I guess it's more fun to blame the evangelicals and ignore the insane profit motive.
Call me crazy, but if our entire machinery of government can't function well enough to control itself internally to preserve human rights better than Mike Tyson, maybe we should toss the whole thing out and start over.

Intended by who? Are you saying the US government knew it meant war and had the foresight (and bandwidth) to arrange a coordinated propaganda campaign on the spot?

People just being naturally angry seems like a simpler and perfectly sufficient explanation. We humans are pretty much hardwired to respond like that: when we believe we've been wronged, a special brain mode kicks in that pushes us toward taking action (ideally a constructive one, but brain hardware doesn't enforce that).
> it complies with whatever arbitrary thing the state

Except if they'd like to keep their "anointed" status, from both a legal (platform vs publish) and extrajudicial (third party doctrine, parallel construction)

Security vs Convenience, as always; the security of the privacy of personal data and papers, versus the convenience of the government's interests of national importance, such as, in their minds, maintaining social order.

If it's our government's job to keep the peace, our job to make sure the ends justify the means.

It would be relatively cheap (I've reak ~$500million) to build and store a mostly complete replacement set of transformers.

The difference it would make in a Carrington+ event (or a EMP nuclear attack) is insane. Without them, likely the grid collapses for years, along with distribution, food, etc. Millions die in the years-decades it takes to recover.

With the transformer standby inventory, critical parts of the grid could be restored in hours-days, and full recovery in a few months. The one country that prepared itself with a backup inventory would instantly be the world's superpower for years, likely generations.

Yet, because there is no immediate benefit, only stochastic, there is no political will to even start to get it done. Even a 10% inventory would make a huge difference, but...
I'm 42. I have a number that when I hit it, I will stop because the math covers the rest of my life comfortably. It's not $2m but it's not a big number. At that point, I will spend all my time either tending to my small farm or with my family, enjoying the world.

I would insist that you try to open up your worldview slightly and accept that sometimes having a team with more than just white men can be desirable and lead to better outcomes for the end product. Maybe bandaids are not the best example, but consider pulse oximeters[0].

There are many examples like this if you care to look for them. I would recommend the books Weapons of Math Destruction and Invisible Women for some very well done research on the way that you can codify human biases in processes that should neutral.

I would also personally recommend that you give an earnest try to understanding why so many people argue for diversity. A genuine attempt. Even if you don't fully change your mind on it I think you will find it easier to approach the world with a little more compassion for people who don't look like you.

In the early days of DigitalOcean we pushed people to iwantmyname for no other reason than the platform was super easy to use, no pushing additional services, and Timo the founder is a really stand up guy. I still think Timo is a super awesome dude but the platform has stagnated a bit. I really like what namecheap is doing and also that Ted is active here on HN news. I've had multiple issues (my fault) and one email to Ted and they've been fixed. If it's support you're after, I for sure think iwantmyname and namecheap are the two top registrars.
IBM Mandating Return to Office by Today

Framework for Evaluating Rag
The Case for Replication-Aware Memory-Error Protection in Disaggregated Memory
There's precedent for the government to force various different types of organizations to disclose information in the public interest. Newspapers don't partake in any of the activities that this disclosure rule addresses, so I don't think a court will find it to be a relevant comparison, because it has nothing to do with the kinds of activities the government is trying to regulate.
But all of that is true. What makes you surprised at any of that paragraph?
This is kind of weird tying-together comment, but Townscaper (referenced in btbuildem's comment []) was partly inspired by an (deterministic non-NN) application, which the creator was working on for someone else, that did just that.

GPUs will be better optimized for large matrix multiplications than CPUs, by design.

And you need to the inference again and again, not just a single time (like your training).
I mean, you bought a hardware device from the same company that sells ads. Of course it is going to be encumbered with mechanisms to get those ads in front of your eyeballs. That's like complaining about getting bit when trying to pet the snarling foaming at the mouth dog.
> 2. It exists simply to deal with the complexity of systems we've set up in the first place. I think of all the fin tech and health tech startups that exist because so many of our financial and especially healthcare systems are insanely complex.

This one really bothers me too, having worked in the healthcare industry. There is an entire class of business the "does good" by helping people navigate an intentionally hostile system. And those businesses therefore profit off the hostility of the system. It is an abusive relationship.
I remember the feeling extremely clearly. And I still remember that feeling extending to the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, which I thought seemed justified and right.

But I just as clearly remember how confused, frustrated, and just so disillusioned with the wisdom of my elders (I was still a teenager at this time) I felt when they were all so gung ho about invading Iraq, which clearly at the time had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.

The debate nowadays always seems to hinge on this question of whether they lied about the WMD thing or were "just" mistaken about it. But from my perspective living through that time as a young person, that WMD thing was not the problem, the problem was this mass fearful hysteria that our leaders (either cynically or because they were themselves in the grips of that hysteria) were able to use to get overwhelming popular support for an unrelated invasion, essentially just out of peoples feelings of righteous anger and spite.

"Real time" but they don't have it in the EST timezone...
It could, and they are. But that's only relevant if you're running the model locally. If the model is being ran at scale, then throughput matters and GPU's would be king still.
We _must_ build techniques to continue training existing models, and we have to figure out how to do it in a relatively ubiquitous way.

The underlying data that a model is trained on becomes obsolete relatively quickly - I am constantly running into problems with GPT-4 while trying to solve technical problems, because it's cutoff was 2021 and a ton of code has changed since then, rendering much of the knowledgebase useless. The "paste in the current docs as context" trick only scales so far.

This is doubly so for large corporations who will be using "inference" on internal datasets. Training can't be a one-time thing. New documents and state must constantly be added to the weights in order for this technology to be useful in the long run. We need to figure out a way to do this that doesn't constantly make models forget about old training or dramatically overweight recent knowledge.
Yeah, I'm confused here as well. It seems like this is exactly what Elon wanted from Twitter, prior to him purchasing it.
