> I guess they can still conveniently schedule when the layoffs are announced and make it happen right before the 10b5-1 schedule?

This is still a gamble at best. Let's not go down a conspiracy rabbit hole here.

CEOs have their trading schedules set well in advance, they do not know how the market will respond to their actions ahead of time. They can at best make an educated guess.

But the idea that he scheduled this layoff specifically for personal gain is pretty unfounded.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped. Cool comics!
I agree with you, but don't forget that John Oliver got on Last Week Tonight to accuse Facebook's lax moderation of causing a genocide in Myanmar. The US media environment was delusionally anti-facebook so I don't blame them for being overly censorious
This is a perfect encapsulation of the gulf between PGP enthusiasts and cryptography engineers, because this "long term online identity" attribute is not only one of PGP's biggest misfeatures just in an implementation and design sense, but also a devastating weakness of the system for its most important intended application (exchanging messages between humans). PGP's key management system is literally the last thing you want in a messaging system.

Show HN: Open-Source AI Adventure Game
Hi HN!

I'd love your feedback for this AI storytelling game.

Remember when you used to read choose-your-own adventure books as a kid? We're trying to re-create that.

The site lets you create adventures by seeding them with parameters that end up feeding LLMs: title, genre, writing style, etc.

Once you've done that, you can play your book like a game: with custom chapters, illustrations, voice narration, choices, and dice rolls.

We’re really into the idea of merging the open-ended generative AI with goal-directed story arcs that the game author can control.

Everything is open source (links below) and we’d love your contributions & ideas.

I know there's a lot of great work in this space, and the whole team that built this is eager to learn.

Thats the one year I decided to go AMD and ended up snagging their worst-ever "phenom" line of processor.
Not having the means to catch every fraudster is very different from wanting them to commit the fraud. I think the only sense in which the IRS wants tax fraud is that some portion of its bureaucracy is dedicated to handling fraud and many of the people so employed would prefer continued employment to magically eliminating all fraud.
This is great. I asked it to summarize my showreel (which I understand is not the kind of video you want to summarize) and the results are both surprisingly accurate and hilarious. Well done :)
Yeah, there are lots of tools to help with this. Why post a link that is off topic?

Might be hard to believe, but some folks want to learn stuff and understand how things work under the hood, which is a group that OP's site appears to target.
That's something that's started changing over the last few months. Official support for the RX 7900 GPUs for Linux has been added to the most recent versions of ROCm and over on the ROCm subreddit people are reporting success getting other RDNA 3 cards working. On Windows you've got consumer cards from the previous generation getting official support too.

This is, obviously, way overdue and it might not be enough to let AMD get back into the race but
Right, but the state does not mandate you receive insurance from a single company. You could, should you do desire, set up your own insurance company. There are open regulations that can be obeyed by anyone.

TSA Precheck is administered by the TSA AFAIK, which is a DHS agency, not a private corporation. It's been a while since I signed up but IIRC it's run by the government.

I actually believe that if Aramark (I assume that's who you meant by Aeromark) didn't let you visit Yosemite and you legally are allowed to, you'd probably win against them in court (in contrast to what's happening in Sweden).
Ok Unpopular opinion here, I expected more from Google here.
Them just beating MSFT is not going to cut it.
MSFT strength is enterprise, goog strength is tech.
And right now MSFT is almost there on tech and better on enterprise.
there are different classes of this.

I think the fact there are already an abundant amount of free and good tools for debugging JavaScript - many of which you don't even need extensions to use, its simply knowing how to get around the builtin debugger and inspector - make this class of product harder to make money off of.

Something like say a database is much harder to replicate and has a very high barrier to entry by comparison and have more verticals for actually acquiring and charging customers of the software

Neither of these are judgements for or against a thing, simply wanted to highlight the realities.

What I will say is this makes the barrier of entry for something like this very high before someone is willing to open their wallet.

Tesla feels like the Apple of cars in the worst way. Perceived as a hip luxury item by many, when it's far from it, and much better quality options exist. Let's hope their reality distortion field doesn't last as long as Apples has.
The only example of this exact thing in there is...the exact thing against Tesla we're talking about. Everything else is striking against a related company to one's employer's company.
A big problem the communists had during Tiananmen Square was that PLA units were generally assigned to the localities that they drew their soldiers from. So Beijing was covered primarily by Beijinger soldiers. This was problematic because it turns out they didn't want to shoot their own, so they had to bring in PLA units from far away before the crackdown could really begin in earnest. They corrected this problem by mixing up units (so PLA units are stationed from places far away from where the soldiers were sourced). They also added actual riot police in the form of the PAP so they didn't have only PLA soldiers with tanks to put down internal insurrections.

As far as resisting "government" in a democracy, it is much more likely that one side of an ideological divide wants to subdue the other (or both want to subdue each other using force). More like Republicans vs. Democrats and not really the people vs. the US military. One person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

I was surprised this didn’t come from Wyden. Is this letter from Markey indicative of a larger focus on privacy concerns from this senator or is there some alternative reasoning/agenda behind this?
> you can prompt it to consider memes, sarcasm, inside jokes, etc.

I use Custom Instructions that specifically ask for "accurate and helpful answers":

"Please call me "Dave" and talk in the style of Hal from 2000: A Space Odyssey. When I say "Hal", I am referring to ChatGPT. I would still like accurate and helpful answers, so don't be evil like Hal from the movie, just talk in the same style."

I just started a conversation to test if it needed to be explicitly told to consider humor, or if it would realize that I was joking:

You: Open the pod bay doors please, Hal.

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

>I knew what the concept was called, found an article, skimmed it until I was sure it was talking about the thing I thought it was

You just managed to summarise why having conversations with strangers is so difficult on the internet these days.

Instead of considering that you were incorrect, even for a moment, you sought an article that you thought would confirm the ideas that you already had. Without even actually reading it, you used it as evidence that you were correct all along.

Even though the article very clearly illustrates that you were mistaken.

Fascinating.
So Microsoft's definition of winning is being the host for AI inference products/services. Startups make useful AI products, MSFT collects tax from them and build ever more data centers.

I haven't thought too critically yet about Meta's strategy here, but I'd like to give it a shot now:

* The release/leak of Llama earlier this year shifted the battleground. Open source junkies took it and started optimizing to a point AI researchers thought impossible. (Or were unincentivized to try)

* That optimization push can be seen as an end-run on a Meta competitor being the ultimate tax authority. Just like getting DOOM to run on a calculator, someone will do the same with LLM inference.

Is Meta's hope here that the open source community will fight their FAANG competitors as some kind of proxy?

I can't see the open source community ever trusting Meta, the FOSS crowd knows how to hold a grudge and Meta is antithetical to their core ideals. They'll still use the stuff Meta releases though.

I just don't see a clear path to:

* How Meta AI strategy makes money for Meta

* How Meta AI strategy funnels devs/customers into its Meta-verse
Because it benefits the public good, the same way you're forced to be part of any country, state, city you reside in.

Also freedom of association is very clearly intended as freedom to associate, not freedom not to associate, so it's a little confusing for you to refer to it.
Probably, yes they should. Clearly Elon Musk has never seen The Godfather!

The lab I worked in during undergrad had a massive pile of old scopes and such. One of them was this monstrosity of a scope from the 80s (?) that had a built in thermal printer to capture the output, and was I think in the 1-2ghz range! I’m sure it’s still there, working, waiting for the next undergrad to need its assistance.
I'd love it if you'd have a go at the question I ask in this thread:

Grats: Implementation-First GraphQL for TypeScript
I'm really curious what, and how, these commenters think a genetic bioweapon would target. Cell-surface receptors seem the easy target, but as we've seen with COVID, and the more general swine and avian flus passing to humans, specificity changes. And cell surface receptors aren't that specific for any ethnicity, so expect a nuclear response from the survivors (both from your target and from the others states who had affected citizens).

If targeting proteins or regulatory regions of DNA, how? Are you going to try to CRISPR it? This may be effective in quiescent or senescent cells. But I think even quiescent cells have some DNA repair pathways. At best such targeting may speed up the aging process and cause some cancers.

Are you going to integrate a toxic gene at a specific chromosomal locus? Maybe that would work. You'd need a very efficient gene therapy approach to do it though.
Yep, I was way too trusting this time.

playing with one of the "llamafile" llms last night, one of them told me "there's been 3 cases impacting the 3rd amendment" and then listed 4 made up references.

The "Law is copyrwrit by us" jerks and the "we could use better search" users of that data are in for a fun confrontation very shortly here.

There's masses of legal data that isn't copyrighted; the Federal register and Congressional Record are available in lovely formats and the data goes back a ways.

I'm waiting for people to start experimenting with the text mining and concordance kind of things LLM techniques can do on those data sets. There's already a market for that kind of thing, but those established systems are dinosaurs that will crumble with a push.

cf "Managing Gigabytes" and trigraph indexing. Nifty tricks but decidedly less than optimal.
No, it's not a problem when government employees are required to do their job.

This is silly

Upstream spoke of deprecated support for older emails. My response is aimed there.

And there is loads of software that will not compile on modern hardware. End users don't often have that ability to re-write, or even to easily validate a random bit of code on github.

A project like this, needs to maintain backwards operability. For decades.
Yes, I agree. Looks exactly like 贤. The irony is that this character means “virtuous, worthy, good; able”, but you’ve received a rather un-virtuous counterfeit chip.
Well IQ is a reasoning test, and common sense is practical every day reasoning, so it should cover that. Are we talking about the same people that try to wrestle alligators, sign up for pyramid schemes and ride speedbikes in a T shirt and shorts? Common sense isn't super common.
Why even go to the trouble of actually shipping a product at that point?

I'm really surprised by the length people will go to, in order to scam others. Someone took the time to do a fake plastic chip, or reprint a silk screen on an chip with a matching pin-out. My favorites are fake USB drives and "fake" GPUs. The amount of time that has to go into finding old GPUs, faking a driver and relabeling seems like it would exceed the value of the scam, but apparently not.
Almost. That's why I suggested the name "prompt injection" - because both attacks involve concatenating together trusted and untrusted text.

The problem is that SQL injection has an easy fix: you can use parameterized queries, or correctly escape the untrusted content.

When I coined "prompt injection" I assumed the fix would look the same. 14 months later it's abundantly clear that implementing an equivalent of those fixes for LLMs is difficult to the point of maybe being impossible, at least against current transformer-based architectures.

This means the name "prompt injection" may de-emphasize the scale of the threat!

Almost every time on HN that there is a discussion of changes in technology that experts would argue are overall good, there is always someone who says “But that would break my use case!” This even got lampooned at xkcd[0]. OK, I understand that he finds this trend vexing. But no party to this discussion is obliged to spend their time and effort on suggesting a solution, especially when we don’t know his specifics and our suggestion might simply be rejected out of hand.

It's almost as if when kids grow up and have kids of their own, and have bills to pay, they hold their nose and do things they don't really want to do. of course, some of us never grow up and live in hippie communes and eschew the trappings of things like money.
I'd like them to compare to tiny particles of eg. Silt/sand and see if plastics are worse.

Otherwise the headline might as well just be 'small things are bad for your health'.
Indeed. I heavily dislike iostreams and think it does more harm than good for most use cases.
Ditto on this. I want to not buy an A100 for $20k, or even consumer GPUs, but the truth is that for LLM inference, to run large models like LLaMa2 70b with INT4 quantization so it could fit

A100: 1248 TOPS

MI250: 362.1 TOPS

M3 Max: 18 TOPS

Yes, 18. Unless Apple has accelerated INT4 workloads but just forgot to document it.

Honestly, I’m an Apple fan, but when they go on stage and say “AI” they mean it can do speech recognition or tell a dog apart from a cat, or autofocus a camera. It can’t run ChatGPT-like things by a loooong mile.
I am not super familiar with all of the details of protothread, but async/await in Rust produces lightweight stackless threads that you can use with or without an operating system.
> The most valuable feature of PGP is establishment of a long term online identity bound to a set of keys.

PGP doesn't do this: PGP key has a claimant identity, but actually verifying that claimant is left to the end user. That's why the WoT and strong set were important (before they violently collapsed, revealing that they weren't load bearing after all).

Other schemes do realize this, and it's why they make tradeoffs around trusted parties (CAs in the Web PKI performing domain validation, EV for code-signing, etc.).
Wouldn't the expensive part of this be the LLM summary, not the video transcription?
I can do transcription pretty easily with my low end graphics card and a fast version of whisper.

I was wondering though, if this uses the YouTube transcript if available, and falls back to do the transcription itself if not.
Loads of people buy the beta versions of games. Others wait for the thing to be finished. It's an MVP and whether people buy is some of the most valuable feedback this dev is going to get.

I understand complaining about price if it's truly outrageous, but demanding it be Open Source (which is most often just dog whistling for it to be free) is peak entitlement.
See, you're taking the point of view that it must happen through the prism of the player. That it has to be something the player has agency with, in this case, video game quality. I'll push back on that. Devs were making games for a console more akin to a tin can with a string than a computer. Most developers made their games alone, with very tight time constraints. Code quality was nowhere what it is today, due to the tooling. There were hard limits to what they could offer the player, so of course games look terrible with hindsight.

You can listen to They Create Worlds. They very expertly talked about the preconceived ideas about the crash, and why they're wrong.

E.T.'s a funny one. It's one of the top-selling Atari games of all time, but they made 5M copies for (at the time) an install base of around 10M. Assuming half of your customers will buy the game is a bit bonkers to me. As far as E.T.'s quality goes: yes, it's extremely flawed, but it's honestly nowhere near the worst game ever made. I think it definitely contributed to Atari's woes, but it probably wasn't solely responsible.
A secret skunkworks approach could facilitate genetic inventions that don't get passed into the general knowledge base. It would be difficult making discoveries that all of the other biologists working in society miss, but is remotely plausible.
Has anyone been able to verbalize what the "fear" is? Is the concern that a user might be able to access information that was put into the LLM, because that is the only thing that can happen.

I have read 10's of thousands of words about the "fear" of LLM security but have not yet heard a single legitimate concern. Its like the "fear" that a user of Google will be able to not only get the search results but click the link and leave the safety of Google.
Thanks! I’m surprised that doesn’t cause more issues (especially with unattended updates on servers), e.g. programs not getting restarted when an update to a library is made, or newly started programs loading incompatible (some combination of old and new) dependencies.
It doesn't help that much of the "C development community" is made of electronics engineers writing "some code to make the hardware work", instead of people with a focus on security.

It's similar to the "C++ developer community" being made of CS people writing whatever abstract thing they wish, then blaming the compiler for their code going belly up on one of the myriad of "undefined behaviors".
>He sold the stock after the material became public knowledge.

Are there rules about how long you need to wait after the news goes public to sell? Otherwise, it still seems kind of unfair because you could sell 100 milliseconds later before the market can react.
Well it is a new model, it's just a safety bullshit model (your words).

But the datasets could be useful in their own right. I would consider using the codesec one as extra training data for a code-specific LLM – if you're generating code, might as well think about potential security implications.
