> Which successful CEO takes direction from a board that meets a few times a year?

Honestly? Nearly all of them. It's how the whole thing is supposed to work, and for the most part it works ok. There are exceptions.
I kind of just winged it. But IPv6 is really super similar to IPv4. The key differences are:

- 128-bit addresses, expressed in hexadecimal. A single character is 4 bits (making every 4 bits a nibble boundary, making allocations really easy)

- All subnets are /64 (if you really want to have a different size subnet, you can, but it’s against the standard, and anything other than /64 will break SLAAC. There is one exception to the standard—point to point links are allowed to have a /127)

- The concept of a network address or a broadcast address within the subnet doesn’t exist. ff02::1 is the all-nodes link-local multicast address (serves the same purpose as a broadcast address in v4).

- ARP is gone. A very similar protocol, ND takes its place

- The preferred way to assign addresses to endpoint devices is SLAAC. Which is basically the router telling the endpoints to self-assign. Ridiculously small chance of a collision, and in case a collision happens, just run the rng again. It’s 64 bits after all. You can use DHCPv6 instead or in tandem with SLAAC if you need more granularity.

- You don’t need to use NAT. Which means you have to set up a firewall on the router correctly. Default-deny, while still allowing ALL ICMP traffic through, as ICMP is kinda vital for IPv6 because it’s used to communicate error conditions.

I’m sure I’ve missed something, but these are all the differences I can recall from the top of my head.

regretably I'm too ignorant to know any better, so this is a very wild guess:

I wonder up to which extent this has to do with the Mochizuki v. Scholze and Stix disagreement?

I say this because as far as I know:
elliptic curves are the state of the art in crypto,

and the IUT theory (mochizuki's) has a lot to do with elliptic curves
using the term neurodiversity/neurodivergent is a bit redundant and a fad.

I tried Jets a couple years back. I wanted the ease of Rails, but with (ostensibly) a cheaper AWS bill.

Actually writing your app and testing it is just as easy as it is with Rails. That's good. The hellish cryptic errors when it borks a CloudFormation config? Not so good. Ultimately I gave up and went back to Rails.

With Jets, you still have to keep in mind that the infrastructure is way more complex than Rails. Jets tries to hide away that complexity, and it does a good job... until it doesn't. If you're an AWS expert (I'm not) then this is a great tool and you should try it. If you aren't, just stick with Rails.

You’re a more generous reader than me if you think this is illuminating:

> Rather than recoiling in space, the light would recoil in time, precisely retracing its tracks, like the Ping-Pong ball returning to the player who last hit it.

Because to my mind, a ping pong ball returning to the player who last hit it seems like something I would describe as ‘recoiling in space’, not ‘recoiling in time’.

Returning stuff back the way it came is actually a thing people associate with ordinary mirrors - so if you’re trying to tell me how a time mirror differs from a normal mirror this ping pong ball metaphor is not exactly helpful.

OpenPGP is in general an awful format, it needs a huge refresh.

The whole format for encapsulating PGP data is extremely complex and in some parts insecure. That's an excellent reason to rethink the problem.

In my understanding, this is not about "adding bits" or changing algorithms, it's about the level above. The packet format that says "This is the algorithm, this is the hash being used, this is the data, etc, etc".
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

There's a huge difference between demonstrating something with fuzzy accuracy and playing something off as if it's giving good, correct answers. An honest way to handle that would be to highlight where the bot got it wrong instead of running with the answer as if it was right.

Deception isn't always outright lying. This video was deceitful in form and content and presentation. Their product can't do what they're implying it can, and it was put together specifically to mislead people into thinking it was comparable in capabilities to gpt-4v and other competitor's tech.

Working for Google AI has to be infuriating. They're doing some of the most cutting edge research with some of the best and brightest minds in the field, but their shitty middle management and marketing people are doing things that undermine their credibility and make them look like untrustworthy fools. They're a year or more behind OpenAI and Anthropic, barely competitive with Meta, and they've spent billions of dollars more than any other two companies, with a trashcan fire for a tech demo.

It remains to be seen whether they can even outperform Mistral 7b or some of the smaller open source models, or if their benchmark numbers are all marketing hype.
OK I get that everyone’s hype sensitive and I absolutely remain to be convinced on Gemini’s actual ability

BUT

The fact this wasn’t realtime or with voice is not the issue. Voice to text could absolutely capture this conversation easily. And from what I’ve seen Gemini seems quicker than GPT4

Being able to respond quicker and via voice chat is not actually a big deal.

Google Closure Library includes a StringBuffer class. [1]

I recall it having explanatory notes, but I don't see them in the code now. JavaScript engines can optimize a string concatenating to in-place edit, if there is only one reference to the first string. The StringBuffer class keeps the reference count at one, guaranteeing this optimization is available, even if the StringBuffer itself is ever shared.

How is that culture at OpenAi working out?
That particular impact was undone in a single weekend. She may be an absolute rockstar otherwise but "firing Altman" is not impact when he is still in control of OpenAI.
I had an acquaintance about a decade ago who did this on the grounds that they were “gluten sensitive”. It was weird.
Aside from modern barrel jack supplies, none of it is actually powers of two, it's like, 13.8v lead acid or a little higher for lithium.

I think we just stay close to the numbers we do, because we just really like multiples of 12 and numbers with lots of divisors. 24 hours in a day, 360 degrees, etc.

Most numbers people really like a lot seem to be on the 7-smooth numbers(https://oeis.org/A002473) list and related/overlapping sets like highly composite numbers.

Which I think is super cool, because it means you can choose one and there's a good chance someone else chose it too for something similar, unless they were using renard numbers or something instead.
That may have revolved around the fact that there was no valid reason that they could put up to defend the firing. After all, if they had then she may well have stayed on board, the same goes for CEO #3.
Tung Nguyen who runs this project has done a stellar job managing it. He is super responsive and it is amazing how much time and effort he's put into it. I've been pretty active with Jets for the last 4 years.
Working at Google, I had my cls modified without changes from my end.

Managers would get mad at me for not delivering things on time, when I could say "the cat ate my homework" seems like people sabotaged my career got to the rest of Google.

It can be, but your operating system needs to support it.

Metabolism Myths
> Leadership is fundamentally about manipulating people.

This is wrong. Manipulating people is not leadership. It might be management in some circumstances, but management is not leadership.

> If the people already agreed, they wouldn't need leadership.

This is wrong too. People can agree on a goal without seeing how to get there. Leadership is not just about seeing the goal. It's about leading people there. But if you have to manipulate the people, you're not leading them. You're just using them for your own ends.

I'm really more in the Debian world these days, but previously worked at a large RHEL shop. I'm quite satisfied with Stream, but if you really want an exact clone, Alma is the one to pick based on what I hear from Red Hat people.

I’d be curious if $20/mo is or is not enough to cover their costs. It’s opaque what their inference setup is, or what the final economics of LLMs will be. With 30-100 Billion param models becoming available which are in spitting distance of gpt-4, and dedicated ASIC implementations… openAI might be charging too much.

You are right in that Germany going into nuclear would not benefit France, the I think the broader point is that someone has to do it, to provide some certainty.
But as you say if we were to optimise the installations for the strength of the technology on the different territories, things would be different.

I do agree that Southern France can support some decent solar farms, but France is already investing in wind also. I think we have to use all the technologies as best as possible, but for now we will still need a guaranteed generation capacity.

I think we most likely agree on the technical problems but the thing is there is too much politics around all this...
I would subscribe to this too!

Correct, the board acted rashly and without forethought but well within their authority. Their big failure was that they didn't make it stick.
The whole "greedflation" narrative still doesn't seem plausible. Why wouldn't one company reduce prices and capture the market share from the companies that artificially raised prices? In order for the "greedflation" to work, there must be some collusion in terms of price setting. This does happen in the market, but it's illegal and governments do take action against price-fixing [1]. A much more plausible explanation is that the economy as a whole had a massive rebound after the pandemic, and the record profits are just a byproduct of that rebound.

I suspect there's some trepidation about offering any sort of prompt injection prophylaxis, because any proposal is likely to fail on a fairly short timescale and take the professional reputation of the proponent along with it. The thing that makes LLMs so good at language-based tasks, notwithstanding their flaws, is the same thing that makes social engineering of humans the Achilles' heel of security. To overcome this you either need to go the OpenAI route and be open-but-not-really, with a secret list of wicked ords, or alternatively train your LLM to be so paranoid and calculating that you run into other kinds of alignment problems.

My personal preference is weakly aligned models running on hardware I own (on premises, not in the cloud). It's not that I want it to provide recipes for TNT or validate my bigoted opinions, but that I want a model I can argue hypothese with and suchlike. The obsequious nature of most commercial chat models really rubs me the wrong way - it feels like being in a hotel with overdressed wait staff rather than a cybernetic partner.

I personally have no problem if it was a different photo but lets look at some theoretical objections to the one you provided.

An astronaut? Some would see that as classicist. Blue and Orange? This impacts people with deuteranomaly and protanomaly color blindness. NASA? They are a capitalist space program that hired Nazis after WWII. A woman? Sitting? A person of color? Rectangular dimensions? ect... ect...

These are, of course, completely absurd objections. But someone somewhere would complain about your choice as firmly as you complain about the Lenna photo. And would you think their objections are as absurd as some think your objections are? Probably.

Standards are standards because they provide a solid reference that everyone can use and they should, by definition, be resistant to change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As an academic from a different field, this is not a publication record that would be anywhere close to someone being "the leading academic on the issue of AI safety". It indicates that she has had been one of very many participants at two impactful papers (with zero indication of what her individual contribution was, with so many authors it might as well be being part of the funding organization), has done a few collaborations with strong researchers, and that her personal first-author or sole-author research is barely relevant.

Like, it's not a bad publication record, especially for a junior researcher (heck, her first participation in other people's papers is just in 2018 and her own work starts in 2021-2022, so she's effectively just getting started and may have many opportunities to prove herself in the future), it does indicate doing a couple years of research and might qualify for an okayish faculty job when (if?) she gets her PhD, but it's not also something indicating a senior researcher that's the pillar of anything and has had some impact - a grad student who's lucky to study in a strong leading researcher's lab and does some work on two of the advisor's papers might have a similar publication record already at their graduation before their career has even seriously started.

Many of her co-authors have significantly larger research impact and personal research (https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=VclFrJ8AAAAJ or https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=MbBntPgAAAAJ for example or https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=0-G2eiEAAAAJ) - which also raises a question of how much each co-author did in a two-author paper where the leading author is a strong researcher and the second author is a "Director of Strategy and Foundational Research Grants" i.e. getting money for that research, so labeling her as a leading researcher (much less the leading researcher) of some field seems misleading as the publication record would indicate that she's not even on the same level as they are.
