The safety here is not just "don't mention potentially controversial topics".

The safety here can also be LLMs working within acceptable bounds for the usecase.

Let's say you had a healthcare LLM that can help a patient navigate a healthcare facility, provide patient education, and help patients perform routine administrative tasks at a hospital.

You wouldn't want the patient to start asking the bot for prescription advice and the bot to come back with recommending dosages change, or recommend a OTC drug with adverse reactions to their existing prescriptions, without a provider reviewing that.

We know that currently many LLMs can be prompted to return nonsense very authoritatively, or can return back what the user wants it to say. There's many settings where that is an actual safety issue.
How is it insider trading? He sold the stock after the material became public knowledge. He didn't have any insider information
You can tell Meta are well aware of this by the weasely way they use "open" throughout their marketing copy. They keep talking about "an open approach", the document has the word "open" 20 times in it, and "open source" once where they say

Aligned with our open approach we look forward to partnering with the newly announced AI Alliance, AMD, AWS, Google Cloud, Hugging Face, IBM, Intel, Lightning AI, Microsoft, MLCommons, NVIDIA, Scale AI, and many others to improve and make those tools available to the open source community.

which is obviously not the same as actually open sourcing anything. It's frustrating how they are deliberately trying to muddy the waters.
The world isn’t so black and white. You can support EU regulators doing some things while agreeing they skew towards inefficient in other things.
It's not just drivers though. Nvidia has invested close to two decades into documentation, teaching materials, developer tooling and libraries for CUDA, plus all the work on gaining mindshare.

You could probably get 80% there by dedicating enough AMD developers to improving AMD support in existing AI frameworks and software, in parallel with improving drivers and whatever CUDA equivalent they are betting on right now. But it would need a massive concerted effort that few companies seem to be able to pull off (probably it's hard to align the company on the right goals)
It's not like the CFO has any more information than they do.
This is true. When Gemini came out, I tried asking it to help me shop for an electric car with NACS and it glitched and dumped a python script to filter a list of electric cars with a list of NACS cars.

I was surprised it used python to answer “which of those previously mentioned cars has NACS”.
To pay their bills. Such is the system that small businesses cant survive, and people are forced to work in large enterprises funded by massive amounts of venture funds. Without competition said enterprises can do whatever to employees. Those elected to ensure balance are rewarded well for their ignorance.

A bit like in communism where people could only work in large enterprises while small business owners have been wiped out.

Instead we should have hundreds of Spotify alternatives each focused on varying genres. Competition would solve not just working conditions but also artist pay and end user pricing.
Well I mean that's the logical conclusion to what these regulations achieve. Don't get me wrong, I don't claim to know when it's worthwhile and when it isn't, but these regulations force companies pushing the envelope with new tech to slow down and do things differently. The intention is always good*, the outcome sometimes isn't. One doesn't have to affiliate with any political party to see this.

*Charitably I think we can all agree there's likely someone with good intentions behind every regulation. I do understand that the whole or even the majority of intention behind some regulations may not be good.
But the two lines they get on the pin-head-sized region is physical and has a particular physical orientation? How can the spin not be a physical orientation and yet the experiment result is all about the physical location of the lines?

I'm sure the issues are with the details of how the experiment is explained, but I still don't understand.

This is a fair assumption, but incomplete.

Its the C-suite management that makes all the decisions and reaps all the rewards, but when they make mistakes, they don't fire themselves, they fire employees, many who had no control of the strategic mis-steps of their leadership.

Sometimes the C-suite needs to be fired.

I think Espressif have or at least used to have their own in-house developed MAC and PHY, which is not publicly documented.

For the Bouffalo Lab and Beken WiFi SoCs we already have SVD files[1] for the WiFi MAC (and likely the PHY too). Thus we have nearly complete documentation for all chip registers and their bitfields. Both SoCs are based on CEVA RivieraWaves WiFi IP.

Also you might be able to use it as a SDR for the 2.4GHz band, there appears to be registers to send ADC data to on-chip SRAM. And USB 2.0 High Speed device functionality on some of the Bouffalo chips.

I was thinking of hacking it to use as a cheap uplink to the QO-100 amateur radio satellite, which uplinks in the 2.4GHz band. I think 100mW of power might be just enough for CW or some very narrowband PSK mode.

By the way, on the Bouffalo devices, watch out for the eFuse registers, they're not fully lockable and write protectable, one wrong register write and the whole chip itself can be bricked and stuck permanently in secure boot mode. It happened to me, and I'm going to try and work around it by glitching the clock input on boot, just at the right time, to disrupt the eFuse reading, just for the fun of it.

I don't have exactly legal knowledge of this.

But it's my understanding that a place like Target will track you if you shoplift and not do anything until you exceed the felony threshold of good stolen in terms of monetary value.

Then they will drop the hammer on you.

subjective opinion, since LLMs can be constructed in multiple layers (raw output, enhance with X or Y, remove mentions of Z,...), we should have multiple purpose built LLMs:

- uncensored LLM
- LLM which censors political speech
- LLM which censors race related topics
- LLM which enhances accuracy
- ...

Like a Dockerfile, you can extend model/base image, then put layers on top of it, so each layer is independent from other layers, transforms/enhances or censors the response.

In my country I am taxed 52%, and I don't mind that. I clearly see the money going into public infrastructure, roads, public transport, social housing, greening the cities, etc. If I am unable to work due to illness, I will benefit from 80% of my salary for many years, and after that, 70%. You should give more to the system proportionately to how wealthy you are. People with 10 mansions and a fleet of cars and a private jet while there are homeless on the streets, that is an abberation. The current system is failing because when people get beyond a certain amount of wealth, their wealth can increase exponentially, while they are not taxed exponentially. It's a finite planet, after all. Infinite wealth growth of a few while many can barely afford rent is like cancer and should be taxed to oblivion.

If I was earning more, I would not mind sharing an ever increasing percentage of that in terms of taxes. I don't need 20 houses and 20 cars, and my own rocket, no individual person needs that. People like that should not be allowed to exist by the government.
they've had a long time to get ML working as well as with CUDA and CuDNN, mostly failed attempts so far. How close are they?
Spotify jumped 8%, it's not like he doubled his money.
(1) is fair point. Use at your own risk. This tool is transactional and stores nothing.

(2) that’s a different use case. This tool is for automation, something that is not being done manually. I do agree there are lots of options to do this on your computer. This tool is for somebody who has emails going and forth and wants an easy PDF copy.
Sierra released a lot more games, though. LucasArts quality was generally better, and the games more memorable due to clever use of humor, but I think Sierra had an epic feel to their games that LucasArts didn't quite match - and Sierra also had more "adult" games, such as Gabriel Knight and Phantasmagoria (if that's your kind of thing!). I think they are both great from different perspectives.

Let's not forget Access of Tex Murphy fame either :).

Because at no point in recent history has any one of them suffered any kind of consequences of being utter avatar of greed and sociopathy.

Why bother when they'll even be defended like in this very thread?
I mean, that kind of demonstrates my point though - your narrative could be applied to whichever side you prefer.

"A people were ethnically cleansed from the lands" - From context you are probably referring to the Nakba, but you could just as equally be referring to the Jews being kicked out of Arab countries in the 40's and 50's. Or any number of other events for whichever side you prefer.

There's plenty of blood to go around in this conflict.
When you look at where the overwhelming majority of lithium batteries are produced, it makes sense to use China as the benchmark (and why it pays more than the US or Europe).
> is workplace democracy such a bad thing?

Yes, they're called committees. They're wildly inefficient for fundamental reasons [1]. We tolerate them in government, because when it comes to the state, we've learned that being consistently right is more important than being efficient. That's not the case in commerce.

It’s kind of weird to see people want to work at big corporations but then act surprised or salty about layoffs.

It’s nothing personal. You’re a line number even if you’re some leet coder. It’s a business, and it’s a strategy game of utilizing resources. You might have 400k TC but you’re not god you’re a resource.

If you think these things aren’t fair or suck, then you should try to move out of the leet coder path and get on the capital owner or business operator side.

Sorry but it’s kind of annoying to see people making 200k plus not get this.
Agreed. 48V (actually -48V) has been used across telco central offices for decades.
not many people have seen it, these days only limited and niche people would see 2001. For that reason the stats on it would be skewed towards people who would view it more favorably.
If you agree with the narrative of shareholder primacy and are looking at short term outcomes then sure, nothing is wrong here. But this means that we're ignoring the harm that was done to the people that lost their income and the disruptions that the rest of the org will experience.

Layoffs can be devastating to the people that were terminated; a job loss is one of the higher stress events one can experience. If you take into account the larger impact than "shareholder value" then dumping stock to capture value is an abdication of responsibility on the CEO for over -hiring, and has terrible optics of financial gain right when a number of employees took it on the chin.
It doesn't sound like a personal dispute to me, it sounds technical. One camp (Open) wants to move faster and break backward compatibility, the other (Libre) wants to move slower and maintain backwards compatibility

Design people will use their editor of choice - Illustrator/Sketch/Inkscape/etc. Some coders might tweak things using that software, but usually I'll edit the SVG directly, especially if there's interactivity.

Lithium is part of the cathode. Looks like it was more like ~20% in 2022, though it may be down closer to 10% now that the price spike is subsiding:

https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/lithium-ion-batterie...

Of note: raw materials are now ~2/3 of the total price of a battery cell, because of the continued plunge in manufacturing costs. And it's pretty well distributed across the different raw materials used. That indicates that the price may not drop all that much more without a concerted supply-chain effort.
Well, he had to sell them _after_ the fact.

But it does sound like his opinion on the cut downs is different than the market.
Yep! As always, there’s both pros and cons to a programming approach and a necessity to understand them.
In theory, that doesn't sound so bad. In practice, what you're advocating are violent strikes that never end.

A social safety net helps you if you lose your job, but it does nothing for you when you're on the job.

It's all well and good that you feel that way but what do you offer to replace the Lenna photo? It's easy to say it needs to be replaced but it's actually quite a different matter to find something so universally recognized. Everyone knows exactly what it's /supposed/ to look like and that's why it's useful as a reference to judge image processing.

Just my two cents.
For any event or group in the tech sector in the US or Western Europe, having an Equality & Diversity policy and a way to raise complaints and enforceable rules to ban discrimination are basically table stakes. The PyCon community in particular should know this since "donglegate"; whatever one thinks of that incident, the PyCon community in the "west" has since made quite clear that being an inclusive and welcoming environment is as much one of their core values as having python rather than perl as their preferred programming language.

The author of the open letter says that adopting a "human rights plan" (quotes in the original) would "pose a significant legal and personal risk to [the] organisers". Assuming this is true, we have a situation with no easy answer.

I think most people in the python community would agree that an event in a country where making a pro-equality commitment would not pose significant risks to the organisers, absolutely must make such a commitment.

If the choice is between events in Tanzania with no pro-equality statement, and no events in Tanzania at all, I agree that it's a question worth discussing. Should the PyCon policy be "your event must have an equality policy unless you have a good reason not to?"
Trying to figure that out right now :), there is a tension between an algorithm like this and the biophysical reality of actual brains. My intuition is that whatever the brain does is not so much an approximation of any known algorithm, but rather an analog of such an algorithm. Now that we know how in a spiking neural network gradient computation looks like, we can ask what assumptions are violated in the brain, just like people have done before for the vanilla backpropagation algorithm. There is some recent concrete experimental evidence that points towards a solution.
> You are allowed to use those tools, but if you do, you need to get the user's consent.

We are saying the same thing. Yes, you can use the tools, but then you require consent from the user as the very first thing they see on your website.

As a non-EU national, I don't derive the benefits of Do Not Delete etc. I do not ever care that a site is using 3P cookies to do e.g. on-page analytics. The cookie banners are a net negative for me.
The hint about using .pluck to only grab what you need from an ActiveRecord query is a pretty good one. I hand't realized you could do that.

I assume this is telling us it doesn't actually make an ActiveRecord instance out of each row when you do that. And instantiating big bunches of ActiveRecord model instances just to grab a few fields from a result set with a lot of rows can be sooo slow.
I’d not be surprised tbh given the timing of the sudden leap in Chinese commercial tube quality.

While the general science behind Gen3 NVG is pretty well known, having a few sets in hand would have massively sped up development, and there’s now a couple of suppliers knocking out really quite respectable tubes.
For more complex graphics you would probably still use a designer tool. But for some simple ones, you can probably code them yourself. Like if you need an arrow or a hamburger menu icon, you can just jump straight into code. Sometimes I also just start with pen and paper and then figure out the coordinates from there, and adjust till it looks good enough.

I'm not sure Spotify has really made any mistakes here though. They took a risk that didn't pan out. For an omnipotent being that would be a mistake, but for a person that only has the information available at the time it can still have been the right bet.

Firing people when their bets don't pan out just leads to a risk averse culture that dooms any company to failure
As always, these sales happen on a predetermined schedule for executives. This has nothing to do with the layoffs.
Your post said “documents, images, and invoices” and “business”. In the real world, documents and invoices in business are overwhelmingly sent in PDF format. Even images get embedded in PDFs a lot of the time. PDF e-signatures can be validated, the technology is based on very standard crypto with FOSS implementations. Fine if you have a different workflow that requires PGP, but most people clearly don’t feel it is impossible to “do business” otherwise.

The quote is really about spam (although yes, it lets the door open to other removals without having to provide a reason).

Anyway my point is really that current editorial rules of LLMs seem several orders of magnitude more restrictive than those of the Google index, and I think it's interesting to ask why.
We don't really get to see Napoleon the man. He is portrayed as an oddly bland man, passively floating through events, which is so incredibly at odds from the reality of the man as I understand him. Really, all of the character attributes that made him 'Napoleon the Great' have been cut out. None of his lasting martial or civil innovations are mentioned.

It's hard to imagine that this was an accident, since Scott clearly took great care to portray Josephine (an aging, black-toothed, capricious bimbo whose thoughtlessness was regularly a problem for Napoleon) as a young, beautiful and strong woman who was apparently "cleaning up after" Napoleon.

I got the distinct impression of a British director gleefully taking ole Boney down a notch.
yep! I think geohot could singlehandedly turn AMD into a winner if (big if) they get tinygrad competitive perf wise on AMD hw. So far it's not
review magazines were not universally available. a proper bookstore with a large enough selection of magazines was at least 45 minutes away from me during this time when i was too young to drive. word of mouth has a broadcast radius that is pretty limited as well. hell, i remember the first time i went to a mall with a computer store that actually had magazines dedicated to games. it's also something different from now where you might be into the games/computers, but your parents very well might have held the idea that you were rotting your brain with that stuff.

it's probably pretty hard to imagine compared to what is available today. the 80s and early 90s were pretty much the dark ages if not stone age compared to today.

Whats insane is that AMD has been known for it's shit drivers for over a decade now...and nothing has happened to address this. Like surely everyone internally knows it, all the execs know it, the board knows it, investors know it...but somehow it has never been addressed.

At this point it's almost like it has to be intentional, like some perceived tradeoff ingrained in the culture that generates shit software.
I heard the same too (speaking for a friend)
Thanks!

Domain was an opportune buy off Flippa. It wasn't really being used for anything and the seller wanted to get rid of it.

Visx/SVG right now. You're right that 100k points gets slow on a scatter plot, for those charts in particular some sampling occurs. At some point I'd like to investigate other options, but this works for the MVP.
