So to manipulate the algorithm, you'd need to find an important website, and then find a way of making changes to all the websites that link to that website to add a link to your own website.

My TL;DR take on this: that htons() both takes and returns a 16 bit integer is hazardous

I'd agree that if you exposed integers that had been given the htons() treatment far and wide in your code, that could lead to trouble. Would lead to trouble.

However .. in practice I've virtually never seen htons, htonl used anywhere but in close proximity to stuffing a sockaddr prior to a bind/connect/sendto etc, i.e., in relation to classic BSD socket calls. That you're forced to overtly stuff structs (and deal with low-level crufties like endieness) to feed to the API seems like an API design issue.
Like GP, I’m not sure I find it very surprising.

Presumably chatGPT has not only lots of typos in it’s training data, but also even nearly scrambled text with things like Pig Latin.

In a sense being able to process scrambled text is an overpowered version of typo tolerance.
> When you get defense for “free” from an overstretched US military, you obviously have more budget to develop your own country.

Don't forget that is not "free", the US has benefited from a lot of perks due to the position they're in.

But it is true sovereign countries should take care of their defenses beyond what the US has to offer, but that will also come at the cost of the US.

You can't have the cake and eat it at the same time - which is what some people seem to be forgetting among all of those internal politics complaints, and the mixing of the US geoplitics with internal politics.

Because you can't be the "leader of the free world" and get all the benefits from it, while you cherry pick what it entails. Now you might argue that you don't see the benefits of that position, which is fair, but a lot is going on more than just military bases in Europe.

And the world will carry on, and those voids left by the US will be filled. China is very happy to fill those empty spaces.

I'm not that familiar with the UI product lineup but recently found the Beryl AX

https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/

which comes with a 2.5 Gbit ethernet port (the UniFI Express caps out at 1 Gbit ports) and OpenWRT based firmware which looks like a decent price/value/form factor combo at ~USD 90.

Anyone who has more experience with UI: is this a comparable product?

Edit: it sounds like the UI products have a fleet management concept and are designed to work together (Apple-esque sum is greater, plug and play …)

I discovered recently GPT-4 is also good at a related task, word segmentation. For example, it can translate this:

UNDERNEATHTHEGAZEOFORIONSBELTWHERETHESEAOFTRA
NQUILITYMEETSTHEEDGEOFTWILIGHTLIESAHIDDENTROV
EOFWISDOMFORGOTTENBYMANYCOVETEDBYTHOSEINTHEKN
OWITHOLDSTHEKEYSTOUNTOLDPOWER

To this:

Underneath the gaze of Orion's belt, where the Sea of Tranquility meets the
edge of twilight, lies a hidden trove of wisdom, forgotten by many, coveted
by those in the know. It holds the keys to untold power.

(The prompt was, "Segment and punctuate this text: {text}".)

This was interesting because word segmentation is a difficult problem that is usually thought to require something like dynamic programming[1][2] to get right. It's a little surprising that GPT-4 can handle this, because it has no capability to search different alternatives to backtrack if it makes a mistake, but apparently it's stronger understanding of language means that it doesn't really need to.

It's also surprising that tokenization doesn't appear to interfere with its ability to these tasks, because it seems like it would make things a lot harder. According to the openAI tokenizer[3], GPT-4 sees the following tokens in the above text:

UNDER NE AT HT HE GA Z EOF OR ION SB EL TW HER ET HE SEA OF TRA

Except for "UNDER", "SEA", and "OF", almost all of those token breaks are not at natural word boundaries. The same is true for the scrambled text examples in the original article. So GPT-4 must actually be taking those tokens apart into individual letters and gluing them back together into completely new tokens somewhere inside it's many layers of transformers.

There is something to be said for questions like "what is the best way to organize code, many small codebases or one big one?". Code can have many properties. It can be easy or hard to read, to extend, performance, scalable and a number of other things.

But poly- or monolithic is a way to describe how the code is organized. It must never be an end goal in itself. That way lies madness.
I measured in units of minutes because the largest unit below that is the second, which is too small. How accurately do you think people can measure how long it takes them to do mental work?

I would usually determine whether to call something "hard" by reference to a measure of difficulty such as rate of success, not by whether doing it with no practice is slower than doing a similar task that I've practiced extensively.
You're missing a big part of the equation: the leopard exists in places where developers can push updates directly to users with minimal if any oversight from commercially independent reviewers. Debian and F-Droid build packages from source given to them by the developers, they don't trust developer builds. Therefore even though these Simple apps have sold to a malware company, that company won't be able to push updates to users. On platforms where this leopard is common, there may be some lip service paid to review but it's almost always completely automated or performed by low-skill contract labor who have no personal commitment to the process.

Another aspect of leopard territory is API churn. On Android and to a lesser extent browser extensions, regular rebuilds are necessary to keep the application up to date. This sometimes necessitates reworking parts of the application, not just rebuilding it. This recurring chore places a constant burden on developers, they can't "finish" an application then forget about it and move on with their lives; doing so would see their work vanish. On the other hand, on GNU/Linux desktops it's perfectly feasible to "finish" an application and leave it unmaintained for 15 years, people will still be able to use it. And on Android with F-Droid, most of the burden of rebuilding applications to keep them running is taken on by F-Droid volunteers, reducing the burnout pressure on application developers.

The conclusion is simple: Strict separation of the developer and packager/distributor roles keeps the leopard away.

This all the more impressive given that language models mostly can't "see" individual letters, only tokens of multiple letters. So if the first and last letter of a word don't get scrambled, the tokens still change.

I guarantee you approximately everyone that does not work in tech has one AP, the one provided by their ISP. Unifi already has a range of prosumer products, this is them moving into the consumer space.

The limitation is totally product segmentation, since their prosumer equivalent all in one (the UDR) costs double, but that's fine, I feel. It's not like they're raising the price of the existing offerings because this budget model exists.

Because the article is on developing a "shared nothing" system where sharing is replaced by communications. Actor systems are also about shared nothing and using messages based communications, and they came first historically.

Now to be fair, a lot of actor systems were about correctness and not squeezing the most performance of a platform. Not sharing data means no explicit locking with mutexes (though one can still have deadlocks, as in several actors stuck waiting for each others) and something simpler to analyze: the system is made of communicating state machines. Actors were also used in high performance system like telecom switches (high performance, for their time), but here too correctness was probably the main concern. At the time actors were first used accessing even far memory was not as costly as today, so the cost of synchronization wasn't as bad. But it was already tricky to get right.

Still, actors are perfectly on topic when discussing a shared nothing, message based architecture. They're worth mentioning IMHO, to give some historical perspective. And then one can combine both approaches: a pinned thread per core can dispatch its messages to a set of cooperating actors for example.

Late one Saturday night, I made a misguided visit to the computer center while high, smelled sweat and fear, and spun to leave. Too late, a woman's voice: "Dave! I told Professor Pryor he needed you!" ... So busted! Then I heard this voice “See these square brackets? See where you initialize this index?” He was spectacularly grateful.

Your business is probably most interested in whether this new design increased value in some way. Did people open the app more?
This news is not about vertical integration or competitive advantage but of potential conflicts of interest. Meta/Amazon/Alphabet chips are made in house or from acquisitions (presumably with the CEO having no financial stake in the acquired companies)

This is instead a question of whether Sama preferentially made a contract with Rain, perhaps despite better alternatives. (Which would benefit him but might not be in the best interests of stake holders).

It’s possible it was the correct decision though, and his stake is just a fortunate side-effect, after all Sam is also invested in other chip companies (Cerebras I believe?).
You're directly or indirectly making sure the company you've invested in will get boosted if you as CEO owns a stake. Therefore it's a conflict of interest - what if that particular company is only the second best to deal with? Either you as CEO or any middle-manager under you will probably give it some bonus points and it will end up getting the deal, news outlets will write about it, etc etc.

At the very least you should let the board handle any potential dealings with the company and have 100% disclosure at all times (as you say)
This kind of stuff is the reason why Altman was fired.

The board lost trust for his honesty from many small things that kept accumulating. Altman is back on condition that there is a investigation.
I tried for ages to get DALLE to draw me a cartoon spider, but gave up in the end. All the other cartoon animals that I asked it to create were perfect, but it could not draw a spider with eight legs. It's like the one thing that every child knows about spiders, but DALLE just wasn't able to it, no matter what prompt I tried.

- How many deployment artifacts do we have? How many nodes/machines running different processes?

- How do we ensure clear separation of domain boundaries (something which microservices excel at) while still staying flexible when those boundaries change (something which a monolith excels at)? Essentially: How do we prevent chaos?

- When changing one of the LEGO bricks, who is responsible for updating their usage downstream? What is the contract here?

I worked on a pretty narrow feature so I’m not sure how it all fits together. I do know they’re really excited about TSN [1] and its potential to let you mix bulk traffic (in-vehicle entertainment stuff) with safety-critical signals and never drop the latter.

I think it’s fair to say that a lot of this stuff is being pushed from the hardware side and it’ll be up to software devs to figure out how to use it all and make everything work together properly. A lot of this networking tech is being pushed down into silicon though, so on the software side you’ll just be tagging Ethernet frames and letting the hardware do the rest.

In general, I noticed significantly reduced vocabulary variety in the chat/instruct GPT-3 model vs the DaVinci text completion one even at the highest temperatures.

The research field has been really harmed by the SotA model being locked behind only accessing the RLHF fine tuned chat model.

I have a suspicion that as the coming year sees comparable performance to GPT-4 in models with the pretrained layer directly available to researchers one of the big discoveries will be that for sufficiently advanced models heavy handed fine tuning does a lot more damage than is being realized.

We've gone well down the Goodhart's Law rabbit hole where we evaluate a narrow scope of applications for LLMs (mostly solving word problems), then use that as the target for fine tuning, and completely miss the issue which arises in introducing "unknown unknowns" that aren't being evaluated or searched for.

I was blown away by GPT-4 in its pre-release state, and while still impressed by the advances in reasoning over the past year, the model itself is far less interesting and compelling to what it used to be. I saw it fed a scenario where a child's life was allegedly in danger, and its response hit a content filter, so instead of actually using the prompt part of the formatting to suggest user responses it continued trying to encourage the user to seek poison control help in the prompt suggestions.

A LLM triaging the conversation such that it breaks its own in context formatting rules to try to save a child's life is probably the most mind blowing thing I've seen a LLM do to date, and that's almost certainly been lost in the fine tuning by now. We don't have a "thinks outside the box to bend rules in order to save lives" test that we are using to measure models or target as a measurement to improve. And it's just one indication of the breadth of advanced modeling that was taking place in the versions closer to the pretrained layer that have been stripped out in establishing a predictably sterile chatbot product. Even in the current models 'emotional' language improves performance - but I suspect we've lost a great deal of capability in what could have been squeezed out by now in stripping it down more and more to our expectations for the tech rather than the reality.
People rather like miracles and low effort results.
It saddens me that we have gone so far into this age of extreme surveillance from things such as cars, without having anybody substantially asking these questions. But certainly, better late than never!

It’s because technology is harming our brains.

I sympathize with the author and feel this to an extent, but maybe this has more to do with aging than it does using apps and addictive social media. Memorization is a lot easier when you're young versus when you're older.
