My previous reference is for the skunkworks not for multi-user. Since it's a skunkworks project there is no requirement for the OS to have multi-user so basically Ken is free to design the Unix system as simple as he wished. That's why initially Unix is a single user, flat file, etc [1]. It's not only for single user but also only support single task or process initially. This design of original Unix is the antithesis to the Multics (thus the name Unix) and the latter was designed from the start as per requirements as multi-process and multi-user hence the inherent complexity. Ken is still alive today perhaps you should ask him directly about this fact and I've no reason to believe otherwise.

Correct. There are counterfeit ROM, RAM, and CPU of all varieties out there.
Marco sold Instapaper years ago... he has not been involved in quite some time. If you look at the Instapaper blog, you'll see they've been adding features consistently, most recently their major update to Notes features and integration.

I've never used Omnivore, but the feature-set mentioned in this price change announcement aligns very closely with Readwise Reader, which plans to _increase_ pricing over its current $95/yr, after it leaves beta.

I think the expectations of read-it-later apps are increasing, and with that comes cost.

Have the GDPR questions around data provenance been resolved? I thought EU/EEA is currently off limits for publicly- or user-data-trained AI.
Could be. Could be that more credit is created to fuel more growth and ideas as things accelerate with LLMs. I don’t think the east coast people have a clue what’s happening out here on the west coast sometimes. My perception in the PNW is there’s a LOT going on and people with great ideas.

There’s just too many good ideas. Flat out. Plus money isn’t real, it’s a construct. Looks at the feds books and how much debt they hold. It’s become meaningless. None of that will ever get paid back. And no one cares. They only care about the potential ideas that can be realized and sold.

Or not. Maybe this is the end. But that breaks my model of humans being insatiable for dreaming and building.
From your previous comment, you’re stating you are okay if the union declined to deliver everyone’s mail, which sounds like you’re fine with unchecked power that expresses itself without discrimination.
>Secure boot also doesn't rely on Microsoft...

OTOH, once the original Microsoft-signed SecureBoot keys for both Windows and Linux became compromised in recent years, triggering the need to blacklist those keys in everyone's firmware which requires an unprecedented worldwide need for a timely firmware update only if available from the original motherboard manufacturer, along with corresponding OS updates to match, neither of which has been fully accomplished yet, there was no-one to rely on other than Microsoft to mitigate the snafu.

More than just amusing, to "quote" Ballmer: "This is by design."
Wow, a clever use of AI generated imagery (a rarity these days), takes e-paper aesthetic to the next level!
The latter wouldn’t apply since he did it on a Mac.
I would classify striking and not delivering to a specific entity as different things.

The latter is more easily able to be used for extortion.

Similar to cops deciding not to police a region populated by a certain tribe. Or, in the same vein, over policing a certain region/tribe.
I'm speaking from my experience selling both software and services to the Fortune 500. If they can cut a corner, slow pay you, try to do it themselves without paying you, etc - they will. Billions in profits but they will refuse to pay a $10K invoice just to spite you.
But the moderator AI does not need to understand the meme. Ideally, it should only care about texts violating the law.

I don't think you need to improve that much current LLM so they can detect actual harm threats or hate speech from any other type of communication. And I think those should be the only sort of banned speech.

And if facebook wants to impose additional censorship rules, then it should at least clearly list them, and make the moderator AI explain what are the violated rules, and give the possibility to appeal in case it is doing wrong.

Any other type of bot moderation should be unacceptable.

There's effectively no way to test this with fully unadulterated control group. The entire planet more or less is covered in microplastics.

It's not clear how, even theoretically, you get better evidence than "this is what we see in vitro, and the effect seems analogous at population scale."
They user might upload something that they don’t have rights to.

Technically the user is the one misbehaving, but we, Facebook, and any reasonable court know that users are doing that.
It claims April 2023 is its knowledge cut off date, so any meme since then should be new to it.

I submitted a meme from November and asked it to explain it and it seems to be able to explain it.

Unfortunately chat links with images aren't supported yet, so the image:

https://imgur.com/a/py4mobq

the response:

The humor in the image arises from the exaggerated number of minutes (1,300,000) spent listening to “that one blonde lady,” which is an indirect and humorous way of referring to a specific artist without naming them. It plays on the annual Spotify Wrapped feature, which tells users their most-listened-to artists and songs. The exaggeration and the vague description add to the comedic effect.

and I grabbed the meme from:

https://later.com/blog/trending-memes/

Using the human word "understanding" is liable to set some people off, so I won't claim that ChatGPT-4 understands humor, but it does seem possible that it will be able to explain what the next meme is, though I'd want some human review before it pulls a Tay on us.
His attention span.
The thing is that I've never even heard of any of those. When people talk about PGP they mean GnuPG. All of those other projects their purpose of existence is to be compatible with GnuPG. If compatibility wasn't a concern you'd just use something new like Age.
The "town square" in action.
Don't worry, once we get a little better at genetic engineering we'll be able to reintroduce species with the genetic diversity required to prevent inbreeding. Then in a fever pitch of environmentalism we'll start restoring extinct species Jurassic Park style, and end up ironically destroying ecosystems that have adapted to the absence of their former inhabitants, while crooning on about how we're saving the planet and erasing humanity's orignial sin of eating all the DoDos! Because all those hungry sailors were part of colonialism anyway and should have known to starve themselves!

Humanity! Intelligent enough to land on the moon, primitive enough to be wracked with guilt over other animals dying, but only the cute or beneficial ones.
I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to jump in the run up in long jump. You could try it in the triple jump event, but that’s limited to three jumps with specific rules for the “hop”, the “skip” and the final “jump”.

That is a bloody technicality if I ever heard one. Someone, somewhere still took the time to make these fakes, so someone committed fraud regardless.

If you're going to commit fraud, at least be honest about it.
Agreed, and notably, the people with safety concerns are already regularly "losing" to product designers who want more capabilities.

Wuzzie's blog (https://embracethered.com/blog/) has a number of examples of data exfiltration that would be largely prevented by merely sanitizing Markdown output and refusing to auto-fetch external resources like images in that Markdown output.

In some cases, companies have been convinced to fix that. But as far as I know, OpenAI still refuses to change that behavior for ChatGPT, even though they're aware it presents an exfiltration risk. And I think sanitizing Markdown output in the client, not allowing arbitrary image embeds from external domains -- it's the bottom of the barrel, it's something I would want handled in many applications even if they weren't being wired to an LLM.

----

It's tricky to link to older resources because the space moves fast and (hopefully) some of these examples have changed or the companies have introduced better safeguards, but https://kai-greshake.de/posts/in-escalating-order-of-stupidi... highlights some of the things that companies are currently trying to do with LLMs, including "wire them up to external data and then use them to help make military decisions."

There are a subset of people who correctly point out that with very careful safeguards around access, usage, input, and permissions, these concerns can be mitigated either entirely or at least to a large degree -- the tradeoff being that this does significantly limit what we can do with LLMs. But the overall corporate space either does not understand the risks or is ignoring them.
Great work! I got a question though, what's the processing time for longer videos? Like lecture videos that usually are somewhere around 1h-2h? Can it handle longer vids reasonably fast?
Curious why Pinecone would invest in building their own RAG framework, esp given how quickly the space is moving. Curious how others here feel about this. Will RAG frameworks still be necessary in the same way, say ... 6 months to a year down the line?
The other trick, especially at places like Golden Corral is the oily fried foods.

No, his whole point was not that.

>We do not pretend to know where the truth lies amidst these sharply conflicting assessments; rather, we again want to emphasize some crucial points

This is genocide denial.

Would you consider someone claiming not to know if the Holocaust really happened and pleading people to emphasize the crucial point of allied propaganda effects to be doing what, exactly?

Chomsky has a long list of offenses, this is just one and you're misrepresenting how egregious it is to claim we can't really know if 1.7 to 2 million people were executed.

> "Login with PGP" was a thing and use a subkey for each website

How well would such sites handle PGP subkey revocation? What about PGP key revocation?

Revocation is very important if your key is compromised.

I haven't seen any really maintained pgp keyserver or service in general that didn't directly or indirectly (by user/agent mistake) fail spectacularly since https://evil32.com/ was released and contaminated the 32bit key id space.
I like to do the defs in one svg in one part of the html page, and use them elsewhere in other svgs. It's clean and readable that way. But to each their own I guess!

That can be true if it is using “tools” [1] and/or retrieval augmented generation. Something doesn’t have to be in the training set for it to be returned to you and used in generation as long as the model knows that a particular tool will be useful in responding to a particular prompt.

Ok now you’re switching your argument from we don’t have the capacity to build mines to NEPA. Except this has nothing to do with NEPA and the tribes weren’t getting anywhere with the lawsuits and constantly losing because of the General Mining Law of 1872.

I’m not aware of any serious challenge to the construction of this mine.

Sure, there may be governmental red tape (eg environmental assessment impact studies and whatnot) but most “no build” laws I believe would be at the state not federal level. Federal environmental legislation itself tends to be quite conservative. There’s an argument to be made the administrative state sets up additional regulations but in this specific case I believe the Trump administration was in favor and the Biden administration never changed course so I suspect the EPA doesn’t have any major objections (not sure if it really passes regulations or if there’s just selective enforcement in favor of the mine)

It's an epidemic, and when you suggest they try GPT-4, most flat-out refuse, having already made up their minds. It's like people have completely forgotten the concept of technological progression, which by the way is happening at a blistering pace.
1) Same, but they'd try to come after me and I'd curse them blue at the top of my lungs and then yell at all the other customers that what they were doing is illegal and stop being sheep.

2) Best Buy has kinda?? stepped up lately in the Frys vacuum. They have CanaKit RPi setups, and cool low-level electrical doodads now. Oh, and a lot of things to touch and feel. I miss/don't miss Frys. Rot in hell, Mr. Frys. And I hate Micro Center.
Fun corollary: Tim Follin composed his tracks at 55Hz, so they'd sound "right-ish" when both sped up for NTSC and slowed down for PAL
Porque no los dos? Hagler vs Hearns with modern video equipment would be even more mind-blowing. My point above was simply that why denigrate American Football, when really any of these high-action sports would likely benefit from advances in video?
Completely agree about the headline and lead, but if you slog through it, the article did an ok job explaining the concept:

> The trick is to create a certain kind of reflection. First, imagine a regular spatial reflection, like one you see in a silver-backed glass mirror. Here reflection occurs because for a ray of light, silver is a very different transmission medium than air; the sudden change in optical properties causes the light to bounce back, like a Ping-Pong ball hitting a wall. Now imagine that instead of changing at particular points in space, the optical properties all along the ray’s path change sharply at a specific moment in time. 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. This is a “time reflection.”

> To do so, physicist Andrea Alù and his colleagues devised a “metamaterial” with adjustable optical properties that they could tweak within fractions of a nanosecond to halve or double how quickly light passes through.

So you have some volume of material and wave of light is passing through it. You alter the material everywhere in that volume so that the light does a 180 at every point along the wave at the same instant, reversing the stream of light. Any signal encoded in the light comes back in the opposite order you put it in, like you played a recording backward, or popped a stack until it was empty.
Probably better wording is “downloading of illegally obtained content”? Even if in a specific jurisdiction it is not illegal - someone in a jurisdiction where it is illegal bought or rented and _ripped_ that DVD (figuratively speaking).
What's interesting to me is that they never quite explicitly claim that they (Meta) can't access the contents of the "E2EE" messages. All the weasely language they use around this makes me think that they in fact can do so.

That's actually really effective, and refreshingly lightweight. It even lets people comment.
Really hard to comment on such a vague insinuation.

Lasers are so known for creating eye injuries they come with warning stickers.

Chainsaws are so known for accidents they come with warning pamphlets instructing you in how to use them in ways that minimize the risk -- including recommendations for wearing reinforced chaps to protect your legs.

So, following your comparison, it should be perfectly valid to apply a warning sticker to C that says "Warning: Known to state of California to cause data corruption and accidental code execution".

I can’t read this in iOS Safari, the page keeps reloading/snapping back to the top when I try to scroll. Even dumps me out of reader mode, eventually.
I tried it now.

My experience:

Took 4 minutes to log in and do one generation. (Login to FB, then it took me through a process to merge accounts with Meta, which didn't sound good, so I restarted with 'sign in via email' which ended up doing the same thing anyway, I think. Then I was logged in, did the generation.)

My at a glance is that it's:

For image quality

1. Midjourney

2. Dall e 3

3. SDXL and this

For overall ease of use and convenience

1. Dall e 3

2. Midjourney

Of course, this is all biased personal opinion, and YMMV.

Your screencast commits the sin of trying to fly through a demonstration from a script that you have access to but no one watching does. It's not clear what you're doing or what the significance of any given thing on screen is (and what things shown on the screen are insignificant). I'm at 0:24 of 1:32, I've skipped back 4 times to see what's going on and what you're trying to communicate. If you don't want to record audio to narrate what you're doing, that's fine, but go have a look at the Primitive Technology channel and take note of how he uses captions for a non-existent audio track. Copy that, if nothing else; the video as-is is ineffective—not quite useless but very close.
The title is misleading.

The article specifically refers to backward compatibility with RFC4880, RFC5581, and RFC6687. These specifications include encryption techniques. So no. I was not just "free associating".

The ’standard’ proof of the infinitude of primes implies that:

Given primes p1, p2, …, pn, multiply them, add 1, and factor the result. All its prime factors are new primes.

For example, given {5,7,11}, the product is 385. Adding one yields 386.

Factoring that learns you that 386 = 2 × 193. Both are primes not in the original list.

If you start with {}, the series you get is

{} ⇒ 2 = 2
{2} ⇒ 3 = 3
{2,3} ⇒ 7 = 7
{2,3,7} ⇒ 43 = 43
{2,3,7,43} ⇒ 1807 = 13 × 139
{2,3,7,43,13,139} ⇒ 3263443 = 3263443
