For anyone who hasn't seen it, the 2018 movie "Operation Finale" with Oscar Isaac and Melanie Laurent shows how Eichmann was found and captured by Mossad agents in South America. I don't know how accurate the movie is but these are great actors and I really enjoyed the movie.
Nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light (we think), but the universe can expand faster than the speed of light.

It's the opposite in my experience.

Pure PyTorch mostly works OK, but some libraries implementing crazy optimized, hand written kernels and such will have some trouble.

So (for instance) maybe you can run an LLM in a particular PyTorch framework, but flash attention 2 doesn't support your AMD card, so performance and memory use takes a hit.

Or maybe the library works on an Intel XPU with like 5 changed lines in the entire library (rename "cuda" to "xpu"), but no one bothered to add it, or maybe the dev doesn't even want to support the PR.

A more recent thing is just pretending Microsoft (and especially Azure) doesn’t even exist.

If pressed, sure, people will admit that these may not be entirely imaginary entities, but if listing technologies or platforms then “oops” they’ll just forget.

The best example I saw was a “poster” of cloud big data technologies. Started with Amazon S3, went through Google Bigtable, and then in the corners had companies so small that their own marketing page is the only search result. No mention of Azure anywhere.

There were dozens of logos on that page representing companies with annual revenues smaller than what one my customers spent on a single

Sure. They'll get to see the face. Of course, for the vast majority of crimes, the accuser is the state.

> That to me seems proper; why do you propose to eliminate it

Because we don't allow dream interpretation, tarot card readings, or other nonsense to be admitted as evidence either.

You know how every few months you hear of some black man that has been in prison for rape for 30 years, until DNA evidence exonerates? Behind every one of those convictions there was some sobbing woman on the stands pointing a finger at him.

Eyewitness testimony is junk of the lowest grade, below even those tarot cards I joked about.

But yeh, they'll get to sit in the same courtroom with any accusers, we just won't let the accusers get up and make up bullshit that they believe are infallible memories. This isn't a constitutional issue. Legislation is absolutely permitted to set standards of evidence.
I don't know if I agree with your take.

I do agree that regulating language perfectly isn't sufficient means to eradicate all tribalism, but I bet it helps.

Consider Hitler. Everybody puts sole blame on him for the Holocaust, and avoids asking "So exactly how did he talk an entire nation into this?" (And no, high reparations is not a sufficient answer). The best explanation I've heard given was that he was a great orator and was able to drive people into an emotional frenzy with his words.

I bet if all of Hitler's speeches were replaced with politically correct speeches, he wouldn't have been able to talk so many people into dying in war over his grudges.
If anything, this is a master class example on how to iterate to success.
Humans have a long history of comparing ourselves, and the universe, to our latest technological advancement. We used to be glorified clocks (as was the universe), then we were automatons, then computers, then NPC's, and now AI's (in particular LLM's).

Almost every time I'm on hackernews I end up baffled by software engineers feeling entitled to have an unfunded opinion on scientific disciplines outside of their own field of expertise. I've literally never encountered that level of hubris from anyone else. It's always the software people!

Consciousness is far from being fully understood but having a body and sensorimotor interactions with the environment are already established as fundamental preconditions for cognition and in turn consciousness.

The GPTs "knowledge" feature is exactly that - it's RAG, with the ability to upload documents and have it chunk them, embed them, vector store them and use that to help answer questions.

The problem is it's not very well documented and hard to get good results out of, at least in my experience so far. I'm confident they'll fix that pretty quickly though.
Was it noncommercial and done in the spirit of satire (surrealism?) - in which case surely they'd get a pass - but I guess they just didn't want to go bankrupt trying to defend themselves?

It's a shame then - when you compare it to the situation between the nerdcore gangsta-rapper alter-ego of Stephen Hawking: MC Hawking; who was created without authorization by Dr. Hawking, and sold real physical CDs for a profit (and I own one!), but who ultimately received an endorsement from the late physicist who took it all in good humour - and arguably Stephen Hawking is a bigger public figure than David Attenborough.

...if it really does comes down to just the personal approval by the subject themselves (and not their legal/marketing/legal teams acting without them even being aware) then I'm concerned what it means for artistic liberty vs public figures.
Before private labor, we put them on chain gangs, and deemed that inhumane when cars veering off the road would gouranga the entire crew.

We call it slavery, but is it? Yeah, prisoners make $1 an hour to work for private industry. That sucks for prisoners, sure, but they're being fed, housed, and receiving healthcare at taxpayer expense even without opting-in. The extra $6/hr they don't get paid subsidizes their stay...literally repaying their debts to society.

What's the real objection to this? Competitive disadvantage?
If you used cargo, you would only have 27 dependencies pulled in for clap. I'm guessing the bulk of those dependencies are the optional dev-dependencies that are pulled in during builds, and often include things like criterion for benchmarking which has a few dependencies of its own.
That's good enough evidence for me.

They're clearly running a vector store (you can get further hints at that by spying on the JSON using browser DevTools).

Qdrant is a very good vector store - it's powering all of the new Twitter features as of a few weeks ago.

Seems much more likely to me that they're using Qdrant than this is a weird error message coincidence.

I have only looked at the GCC Fortran frontend. I would not say it is necessarily difficult but rather very ad-hoc and disconnected from the rest of gcc. I don't see many tools for specifying a grammar or tokens. Instead, there are a lot of constructs custom-written to handle Fortran. Looking around, the Go and Rust frontends feel equally disconnected.

I'm told that you eventually make your way to the "GCC IR", but it seems like you are largely on your own with how to get there.

I did not invest a lot of time here, so I could be wildly off base, but thought I'd at least try to give a very-slightly-hands-on perspective.

It actually tastes good. Another one that’s sour and is added to a spicy curry. And so on. (But afaik none of these are available any more)

Every time Apple vs Android comes up, someone pops up trying to stump for RCS...

I don't recall the precise details at the moment, but there are very good reasons for Apple not to prefer RCS—I believe one of them was that it is too heavily tied to the carriers.

In general, I am very much a proponent of not allowing the perfect to become the enemy of the good; however, there are times when that breaks down in practice, and I believe this is one of them. In particular, if RCS is adopted as "the next messaging system" tomorrow, and then next year a much better open cross-platform messaging protocol is developed, it is vanishingly unlikely that it would be adopted. In fact, it's unlikely that any other system would be able to replace RCS for several more years, simply because everyone had just changed, and would be unwilling to change again for some time.
I wouldn’t consider that much of a defense!
It's a two-way street. You might intend a slur but have it not heard as one, you may not intend but have it heard as one.

Who says it makes a difference. "Queer" was reclaimed, I think, no longer a slur. The "n-word" is or is not a slur based on the speaker being of black African descent.

"Oppose change" is really sort of a social morphing. Just because you change doesn't mean I have to, does it? If so, that means you have to change when I do too, right?
I agree that such smaller reforms are needed (and what we have need to be defended) but "clearing the name" of socialism can and should be done simultaneously. Also depends on country and audience how bad or good the socialism label is.

Also at least here in Finland land tax is more a center-right thing, and falls under the general umbrella of "neutral taxation", which in practice is usually a dog whistle for flat or regressive taxes.

> No, it depends on the terms of ownership. Finite terms and progressive taxation can prevent the exponential runaway that establishes and perpetuates class structures.
> Policy that makes labor less desperate and therefore have higher bargaining power. There are many levers to pull.

Pedantically there's class conflict whenever there are classes that have conflicting interests (e.g. workers want more pay but owners want to pay less). But yes, its effects can be reduced with various policies.
> Being a renter is part of that path after all

Renters are not building equity. They are spending their wealth every month and accumulating no equity in return.

I don't agree with calling a "homeowner" rich. Owning the ground beneath your feet is a big part of having equity. With a mortgage, unlike rent, every month an increasing amount of your wealth accumulates as equity as you pay off your principal. Once you pay off your mortgage, you've significantly reduced your monthly burn rate and can start moving your accumulating equity into retirement accounts.

Reducing the total cost of primary home ownership, reducing the cost of financing a primary residence to help build equity, etc. are all important parts of giving upward class mobility.

These are not things you want to disincentivize. You want your renters to become owners. You want your workers to become small business owners. You want your communities to build equity in themselves.

If you tell me that being a homeowner today makes you rich, I'll tell you that is part of the problem.

> The correct response to this behavior is to switch to Telegram or Whatsapp or whatever and just be free of vendor lock in for something as basic as messaging.

My hope is that EU regulations will return us to truly lockin-free state of messaging we had in the 00s with modern analogues of Pidgin and Adium and people can use whatever messaging app they like. To me that’s a far better outcome than switching to e.g. WhatsApp, which is just as bad about lock-in even if that’s hidden by its ubiquity and cross-platform nature.

I'm in the same boat. It feels wrong to contemplate that our consciousness might not be a magical independent agent with supernatural powers, but is rather an emergent property of complex-but-deterministic actions and reactions.

Like it somehow diminishes us. Reduces us to cogs and levers and such.

But I can't imagine how it could be otherwise, though. I'm still baffled by the existence of qualia, phenomenology, etc. Awareness. But bafflement on that front isn't a good reason to reject the possibility that the only thing that separates me from a computer is the level of complexity. Or the structure of the computation. Sometimes things are just weird.

The befuddlement goes even farther for me. LLMs are, effectively, black-box systems that interface with the world via a stochastic parrot interface.

You'd think that software engineers would be a group that easily understands how making radical assumptions about implementation details when looking at nothing but an interface is generally misguided.

I'm not saying that there isn't a strong case to be made against LLMs being intelligent. It's pointing at the stochastic parrot as evidence enough in of itself that confuses me.
