> This is because google docs is now widely used as a malware vector.

Sending the user via Google is fine when the user is using the google doc as a google doc. It's NOT fine when you export to some file format to share with others as not-a-google-doc. The moment you exit the Google ecosystem is the moment when this sort of protective feature becomes a tracking feature.
I guess I’m less worried about the atomic nature of the operation and more about the way the writes become visible. That seems to be entirely hardware dependent?
Is there a reason they don’t just add the ads directly into the video?
This is the intuition that worked for me: transformers are mini search engines!

Each attention node is essentially performing a simple search on the previous text given a single word. It's kind of like Google! The actual search or "query" is the word you're looking at, the page title or "key" is the other words in the sentence, and the page/document or "value" is... also the other words in the text (each word is like its own page title). So if you imagine the whole internet is just the sentence "Hi my name is Bob", and you googled "name", you should get a results page with "Bob" at the top, followed by "my" then "is" then "Hi".

As an optimization, the transformer will actually run this "search" operation for all the words in the sentence at the same time. It then spits out a matrix saying how relevant each word is too every other word. Basically each transformer in your neural network is like a little guy who says "Hey, if you're looking at X word, here's the other words Y and Z that might be relevant in the same sentence". The rest of the NN can then use that information using more typical feed forward techniques (I'm mostly glossing over use of embeddings and other various special techniques that are used in practice here). There will be multiple transformers in a given LLM that each perform a slightly different search.

But how does a transformer know how to rank these words? In a nutshell, as we train it to predict text, signals from the error in that training prediction back propagate to the transformer node, and it gradient descends to be the best search engine it can be. Each transformer will have a slightly different random starting state and different distribution of modules further forward in the network back propagating error to it, and thus they will each converge to a slightly different "search algorithm" so to speak.

Lol you can’t blame China for doing business with US corporations. It was many two way transactions

The US makes different to subsidy or protection choices with their own effects. selective agriculture is subsidized and insured while things like Trucks are protected - inflating the size, pollution footprint, and selection of vehicles in the US.

We also have an indirect manufacturing & tech subsidy through military spending. Not super efficient at developing our economy but not a small effect either.

I support where the US is rethinking the balance of subsidy and protection on computer chips but wish some of the existing ossified decisions were revisited or rebalanced.

From my point of view YouTube with Adds is unbearable. And I don't feel the subscription service is offering as much value as any other streaming platform.

If it was a bit cheaper I would may be consider it, but for my specific use case (just watch random videos and some channels) at this price is just not worth it and I will just stop using the platform.
> Did they not answer that question? It uses the BSD sockets API with SOCK_DGRAM?

No, that does not answer the question, nor is it a valid answer to the question. Being able to send UDP datagrams is obviously not the same as establishing a QUIC connection. You're missing the whole point of the importance of having a standard API to establish network connections.

> Right, that random project is not a standard API - its built using a standard API.

Again, that's irrelevant and misses the whole point. Having access to a standard API to establish QUIC connections is as fundamental as having access to a standard API to establish a TCP connection.

> so you can find third-party random projects for HTTP (...)

The whole point of specifying standard APIs is to not have to search for and rely on random third-party projects to handle a fundamental aspect of your infrastructure.
I don't think they were talking about certificates that were also CAs. It's not wrong, it's insufficiently precise.

Anyway, your definition is clearer, but it still supports the point I was trying to make. You don't "add your CA" in order to use self-signed certs. You do that to use a private CA that will sign all your certs. And doing so only allows you to use websites you signed, not websites other people signed. It would be a terrible idea to add anyone else's CA, and you can't easily use your CA to slap your signature onto websites other people signed. Adding your own CA is a completely different situation from trying to visit a self-signed site.

> very large majority of the people were against it the entire time

I don't think this claim holds up to the evidence. Looking at opinion polls between 9/11 and 2003's invasion of Iraq makes it unclear that a "very large majority" was against the invasion. Here's a quickly-found Gallup poll[0] from October 2002 wherein 53% of polled Americans supported a ground invasion of Iraq.

The American people were misled by government claims about WMDs and handwavy connections between Iraq and 9/11. But that doesn't permit us to retroactively declare that "well, if only the people knew in 2002 what we know now then they would have been against it."

I worked for a power company that had something like this. Except it was two F4 Phantom jet engines (modified to use natural gas) per generator.

I don't understand. Do you think there is scientific doubt about the greenhouse effect, or that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, or that for hundreds of thousands of years CO2 concentrations have correlated with average temperature? There isn't any doubt about the problems of greenhouse gases, and there isn't anything we can do about the sun's activity other than use it as an excuse to do nothing "until we understand".
While it feels unfair to say "we", what have you done to stop this?

Have you protested? Written to your representatives? Contributed to a NGO fighting these things? Etc.

Or did you let your tax money fund this destruction with little opposition?

I'm being harsh, and probably a hypocrite. But it's easy to be against something in words, but do little to change it sitting comfortably and safe at a distance.
But it needs to solve some of them.

A Latency Analysis of Binance Exchange Across AWS Regions
As far as payments go, I have been surprised, when booking through booking.com
(especially in foreign countries) to see my full credit card details printed in plain text on the Booking.com reservation email that the proprietor printed out and referred to when I checked in. This even when I indicate in the reservation that I intend to pay in cash or with contactless on-site.

While it makes sense to take a card to guarantee against a no-show, it’s always felt a little slimy to me that they make it feel like they, rather than a random property someplace far-flung, are the ones who would collect the fee if I didn’t make good on the reservation—and only if I actually didn’t show up.

It looks like they still pre-emptively give out your full credit card details directly to every property in plaintext, but that they might now make a notional effort to record when the property accesses the CVC?

And that's the irony. Covid's death toll in the US was a hundred times worse than 9/11 yet we still don't have federally mandated sick days.

You're putting much more emphasis on the 1A link to Fair Use than it actually has.

1A is not the entirety of the basis for Fair Use, it is much more expansive than the 1A justification alone, which relates primarily to transformation for critical purposes, because that would constitute the government creating a law that limits critical speech.

Most* everything else is non-1A, and can be much more easily changed by legislative means.

No, they aren't banned, but not being able to find one at a library is not a legal justification for me to go and torrent it. It shouldn't be for a corporation training an LLM either.

It's widely known that some of the big LLMs were trained on book datasets that were acquired via torrents. And that those datasets do contain at least some books that are not available anywhere freely via legal channels.

The draft of the version upgrade explains the possible uses of this: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ir/2019/NIST.IR.8213-draft...

Mostly, it's so the public can verify events that were supposed to be random really were random. The executive summary gives plenty of examples, but think of a pro sports draft lottery. Fans always think those are rigged. They could simply use these outputs and a hashing function that maps a 512-bit block to some set with cardinality equal to the number of slots and pre-assign slots to participating teams based on their draft weight. Then fans could verify using this public API that the draw the league claims came up randomly really did come up randomly.

People always think polls are rigged. This could be used to publicly produce random population samples for polling.

This point gets made a lot but is sadly naive.

What's stopping the US from solving these incredible social, scientific etc problems isn't money. It's the will of the people in particular politicians. Many of whom are themselves taking money by people and companies who benefit from these problems being unsolved.

It's not that I'm blaming China as much as I'm trying to explain the mechanics. Of course US consumers and corporations chose to take the path of immediate gratification, leading to the hollowing out of the American working class and mfg base. But it also led to decades of low inflation, a soaring bond market, and increased standard of living for Americans overall(even though some classes, like blue collar workers(particularly men) suffered).

Adblockers should get more devious then.

I've not looked into exactly how adblockers work, but I presume they just don't allow advert content through to be rendered by the browser - they block the html/css/js from loading in the page - and that's how places like Youtube and other sites can detect one is using an adblocker.

If I were going to write an adblocker, I'd make it such that it pretends to load and play/display the adverts, meanwhile allowing the video which the user intends to watch through. The adblocker basically says somehow that "yup! I'm the browser and your advert was definitely rendered. Honest, guv'nor!"

Something like that. (I fully recognize that I may be talking out of my ass if my assumptions above are incorrect.)

This is important to remember. One reason it might feel unfair now though is some combination of a) to many people, it is clear the war was a mistake and they remember always being against it now and b) some 35% of the current adult US population, including myself, wasn’t old enough to be polled then, but was legitimately against the war always.
