By the way... For anyone reading this wanting to solve exactly this problem...

This feature is currently part of devtools. But if it could be enabled as part of Chromes policy engine, then IT departments could enable it by default for all developers, managers, and everyone working on the product, specifically for only web URL's of the product itself.

So: If you want to help solve the fact computers are slow for everyone, probably one of the most impactful things you could do is to send a PR to the Chromium project to let the network and CPU slowdown code[1] be possible to activate from the policy code [2].

Supreme Court Declines Appeals from Apple and Epic Games in App Store Case
Overall meaning can vary profoundly.

As a toy example, consider the prompt "randomly generate the first word that comes to mind." The output is deterministic in the seed, so to get new results you need new seeds, but with new seeds you open up the 2k most common words in a language in a uniform-esque distribution.

Building on that, instead of <imagining> words, suppose you <imagine> attack vectors. Many, many attacks exist and are known. Presumably, many more exist and are unknown. The distribution the LLM will produce in practice is extremely varied, and some of those variations probably won't work.

If we're not just talking about a single prompt but rather a sequence of prompts with feedback, you're right that the seed matters less (when its errors are presented, it can self-correct a bit), but there are other factors at play.

(1) You're resetting somehow eventually anyway. Details vary, but your context window isn't unlimited, and LLM perf drops with wider windows, even when you can afford the compute. You might be able to retain some state, but at some point you need something that says "this shit didn't work, what's next". A new seed definitely gives new ideas, whereas clever ways to summarize old information might yield fixed points and other undesirable behavior.

(2) Seed selection, interestingly, matters a ton for model performance in other contexts. This is perhaps surprising when we tend to use random number generators which pass a battery of tests to prove they're halfway decent, but that's the reason you want to see (in reproducible papers) a fixed seed of 0 or 42 or something, and the authors maintaining that seed across all their papers (to help combat the fact that they might be cherry-picking across the many choices of "nice-looking" random seeds when they publish a result to embelish the impact). The gains can be huge. I haven't seen it demonstrated for LLMs, but most of the architecture shouldn't be special in that regard.

And so on. If nothing else, picking a new seed is a dead-simple engineering decision to eliminate a ton of things which might go wrong.
As opposed to the massive Homeopathy industry in Germany? I think the overall healthcare industry plays a part but I would bet that this is more of a human problem and less of an "american healthcare system is bad" issue. Germany has a massive homeopathic industry including brick and mortar stores, you could go to Asia and look at traditional chinese medicine. People love the idea of easy fixes where you can drink something or apply a herbal cream and your problems go away.
There must be a reason why Clovis spear points looked the same all across North America, up until the comet strike 12,800 ya. It is probably because they were a trade good, so that anything different would be less tradeable. After the comet strike and its continent-wide wildfires, evidently the trade network broke down, and local styles drifted, freed from conformity.

People often talk about a "Clovis culture", but it is unlikely that a single culture spanned the continent. What we know about is just the spear points.
From the gcc manual:

-Ofast

Disregard strict standards compliance. -Ofast enables all -O3 optimizations. It also enables optimizations that are not valid for all standard-compliant programs. It turns on -ffast-math, -fallow-store-data-races and the Fortran-specific -fstack-arrays, unless -fmax-stack-var-size is specified, and -fno-protect-parens. It turns off -fsemantic-interposition.
Ayaneo Slide vs GPD Win 4 seems to be an interesting debate. Based on my research so far, Win 4 has occulink and optional LTE module in it’s favor. Slide has tilt screen and supposedly slightly better keyboard. Is there anybody who is Linux focused and has laid eyes on both?
Is it a lack of access or a lack of faith in "big pharma" and the bureaucratic medical industry? If a large part of the motivation is a distrust institutionalized medicine, then trying to use this as justification for government run healthcare isn't going to win you any additional support.

Not saying these "wellness" treatments are legitimate, but your response has the smell of a beltway elitist pretending to represent the interests of the scammed without understanding their motivations or views.
Magic smoke?
Oh man can that be taken out of context... and still probably be right.
The poster probably meant "fair use", which is an American term of copyright law. The UK, Canada, and other commonwealth countries have a concept known as "fair dealing" which is similar to, but different than fair use[1]. EU copyright law has explicitly permitted uses[2] which are exceptions to copyright restrictions. Research is one of them, but requires explicit attribution.

> but in contrast C compiles almost instantly

was that the case 30 years ago?
Because we are humans and our capability of abusing those rights is limited. The scale and speed at which looms can abuse copyrighted work to threaten the livelihoods of the seamstresses of those works is reason enough to consider it unethical.

Replace loom for printing press etc, you realize you're a luddite?
Even if this keyboard is as good as a real BB back in the golden years
using it on an iPhone is a mess.
BBin the golden years was fully optimized for operating with a keyboard.

iPhone is optimized for being a touch screen driven system.
Those conflict.

I tried for a good time to develop something very similar years ago,
but 1) I wasn't able to find financing and 2) (more importantly) trying
to write a UI Shell for Android that worked like the original BB was
perhaps not impossible, but way past my and the people with me skill level.

Now what we need is to find an Android device that can run the classic BB
software. (Yeah they made their own Android BB, but it sucked)
Honestly, this isn't the case - at least in my experience - every product I've bought from them has come with a pinout diagram that is also duplicated on github. Sure, getting the hardware up and running is challenging, and sometimes the examples are a bit arcane or have weird omissions in terms of illustrating the device's capabilities, but it's a booster pack compared to designing and programming similar embedded hardware from scratch.

Coming up with new/original models that solve the same exact problems that people are trying to solve with neural networks (computer vision, language translation, image generation etc) hopefully that are better performing & cheaper computationally.

I think answering that question would be what the researcher in this field is trying todo. I think a place to start would be exploring abandoned AI strategies like Genetics Algorithms & Markov Logic

Prosperity Gospel. "Everything happens due to god's plan, therefore anyone who does well is blessed by god."

Bleh.
Got any numbers on US sales for these sorts of products vs. in the EU or elsewhere? I spent two years in the Czech Republic and Czechs seemed just as likely to believe in all sorts of woo as Americans. In fact the irreligiousity of Czechs seemed to make them more likely to believe in new age mumbo jumbo (while Americans seem more likely to favor sketchy faith-based alternative healing methods, at least if they're religious).
I would be reasonably confident they mean "fair use" [1] instead.

The thing that I find super frustrating about these short sessions is the lack of risk it's mitigating.

If it's expiring in a few minutes, presumably you're trying to protect against two things: (1) Session hijacking and (2) Unlocked computer.

Session hijacking is somewhat preventable via other means (eg: IP address tracking), but more importantly, in what case can a session be hijacked only 15 minutes later?

Someone walking away from an unlocked computer is an impossible problem for a app/site to solve. If an attacker has access to the PC, they can install malware that sniffs all traffic or passwords, and if the user saves their password(s) on their PC all of those are compromised anyway. This is a responsibility of the person responsible for the computer -- eg, the user and/or the IT admin.

When sessions/passwords expire in a time measured in days, I can't help but think they are basically saying "it's okay for an attacker to have access to this system for 89 days... but not 90!" The only valid argument I've ever heard for this is an attacker might be doing offline cracks of passwords -- but there's so many other fails involved there that I can't see how blindly expiring them is at all useful by comparison. Not to mention rotated passwords are very predictable[1] so it's unlikely to even mitigate the attack.

Hacker News readers would never buy nonsense due to trendy niche marketing.

Unrelated did anyone see the latest teenage engineering gear at CES?
Well, there are many seniors doing great work and staying up to date on all kinds of new tech and so on. But one glance at the media directed at mass market seniors and you can also see that people believe there is a huge market for simplified devices and technology. Consumer Cellular, jitterbug phone, life alert necklaces, the list goes on.

All thru the 90s and 2000s there were attempts to make a PC into a home hub. I think even facebook tried around 2018 iirc. It would be something that you put on the kitchen counter and that serves as a recipe database, conferencing machine, and a useful kitchen helper: such as, setting a timer to go off to tell you that its time to get the apple pie out of the oven.

The UI for such a thing needs to be simple and bulletproof. Windows and Linux dont meet that bar. I think iOS comes close. In another timeline, it could have been BeOS.
>> Fair Use has long been an exemption to copyright,

The proper construction is that copyright is an exemption from the freedom of speech. Fair use is a partial description of freedom of speech, a description to narrow the limits of copyright rather than to broaden the already limitless bounds of freedom of speech.

The default for expression is that it is allowed except if copyrighted, as opposed to copyrighted except when covered by fair use.
I agree that it's mostly immaterial given that Israel was forced to turn the water back on. I do not agree that the supposed arms-length relationship between Israel and Gaza meant Israel wasn't obligated to supply water. For all practical purposes, Israel occupies Gaza; it is required to keep Gazan civilians supplied. If Israel wanted Gaza to be self-sufficient, it could allow them to build an airport, to receive ships on its shorefront, and to manage its own border with Egypt. It will not do those things, for a variety of practical reasons, and so it must accept its responsibility toward Gazan civilians.

I fully watched 4 anime of this list and partly know detective conan.
I think it's more about GitHub's image and its self-imposed viewpoint that it needs to keep the software landscape secure. Requiring 2fa drastically reduces the number of ways a repo that is a building block for x% of a country's GDP gets compromised - now the only path is if the author intentionally hands over the repo/their account to a bad actor or e.g. posts their 2fa secrets on the internet for anyone to use.
It is. My suspicion is that they are using ai for search results considering how inreliable it's become. That's why searching for "sinus inflammation" used to yield results for penis inflammation for a while. That one seems to have been resolved. However I am still getting completely unrelated results every now and then, indicating they are having serious unresolved search engine issues.
Someone in the arch community did benchmarks on many shells a year or 2 ago. It was very well written. The end result was ksh93 was the fastest.

I believe this is the link, but I cannot get to it due to some cloud ways error.

Are there any humans that can produce artwork without ingesting inspiration from other art? Do you know any artists that lived in a box their whole life and never saw other art? Do you know any writers who'd never read a book?

Are they any human artists who can't, if requested, draw or write something that's a copy of some other person's drawings or writings?

Also, FYI, you can't steal digital artwork. You can only commit copyright infringement, which is not the same crime as theft, because theft requires depriving the owner of something in their possession.
Any examples of such underlying conditions?
Ideas about wellness have been complete bullshit for 99% of human history.

False, depending on what you mean by human history. Science on macronutrients was in that category once. Now it's science fact. So we've had some wellness which was borne out as fact for over a century. Human written history doesn't go back far enough for 99% history/100% bullshit to be correct.

Actually, some inklings about vitamins go back even further.
that assumes one side doesn't win, which is why we're having problems now.

That's literally what "too big to fail" means, it means they've won.

The problem I have with the blackberry keyboards is the omission of commonly used linux symbols such as tilde - how do you cope with that? Or perhaps I am missing a trick? I've resorted to salvaging Psion 5 keyboards and rolling my own hardware as the result.
virtualization doesn't emulate a CPU; instructions typically run natively. IO is trapped and handled exceptionally.
I have done roughly this. I don't live in Detroit, but moved from Austin to another rust belt city in Michigan. It also happens to be my hometown, so it's hard to recommend it to people who don't have that connection. I own a home that I definitely couldn't afford in Austin, and life is pretty good. That said, I worry about the job market. I have no desire to leave my current company in the immediate future, but I think I may find it difficult in the current climate. Still, we put enough down on the house (and got the mortgage just before interest rates really popped) that we can easily stay put with just a "replacement-level" job in retail or similar, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I should say that, ironically, the reason I grew up here is that my Dad was a Federal employee at a time when there was no cost-of-living adjustment for Federal jobs (meaning his salary would be the same no matter which office he was assigned to, regardless of whether that was NYC or Peoria). He found this city doing research about low cost-of-living cities before putting in for a transfer. Now my daughter is growing up here for essentially the same reason. It's the circle of Midwestern life.
and it seems unlikely to benefit society to let Microsoft and Google to hoover up 100% of creative works, then use that to compete with everyone in that industry to such an extent they can no longer make a living
Like I said, agree to disagree on the basics of the language; which is usually a conversation closer. Feel free to talk to a wall from here on out, if you insist on getting the last word in.
Copyright only makes any sense for goods with a high fixed cost of production and low to zero marginal cost. Any further use beyond solving that problem is pure rent seeking behavior

Also, with computers being functional copyright has become a tool of social control; any function in a physical object can be taken away from you at a whim with no recourse so long as a computer can be inserted into the object. Absent a major change in how society sees copyright I envision a very bleak totalitarian future arising from this trend.

Ethics aside, and again US specific, but the supreme court literally defines it as an affirmative defence.

Even this is a bit murky though, as a district court has argued it goes beyond that.
Auth is like paint. Adding more layers can make it better or worse.
I think the ethics are pretty clear.

1. Don't do things to people that they don't want to be done to them.
2. Do as you would be done by.

It really is that simple.
It's seems just like a poor choice of words and semantic argument around the term "violate". Fair use is an affirmative defense — you concede you did this thing that would be illegal if not for this other extenuating information/circumstance. This is similar to claiming self-defense in a murder case — yes I killed that person, but it's not murder since I can show it was self-defense.

In this case it would be 'yes, I used this copyrighted work in a way that would be infringement were it not a fair use, but here's why it's fair-use.'
No, you pay them for the finished product. The STYLE is independent. Lots of artists have similar styles. They don't all pay each other for copying their styles.
> But as long as it needs to be trained on the work of humans it should not be allowed to displace those people it relied on to get to where it is. Simple as that.

Do you feel the same way about tools like Google Translate?
> it's a small financial burden compared to the unsustainable growth of infrastructure.

American cities aren't really growing their infrastructure that much (that's one of the problems), they are just maintaining what they already have. But ya, we will spend billions on a link from Ballard to West Seattle here, and it won't be ready until sometime after 2040.

> Whenever I see comments like this, I always note there doesn't seem to be any broader solution than 'ship them somewhere else and make them someone else's problem'

That's because while the problem is national, the resources expected to solve it are local. Since the problem is also mobile (as anyone taking a greyhound bus to Seattle could see), at least not being a preferred destination for the problem is a valid strategy. Shipping it off is also valid, but mostly the chronic homeless will go places where they can survive (looking for better weather, generous social services, and police that aren't going to throw them in jail for doing fent on the bus).
If you find asking the question of why one is being fired threatening, you’re the exact target of videos like this, and I hope they keep coming up and calling out people like you and the Cloudflare HR. There is at-will employment, and then there is treating people like literal shit by not telling them why they’re being fired or having the processes in place where the news comes from those who are actually accountable for any discrepancy between perceived performance and actual performance - the line managers. And if your company doesn’t feel like it owes the employees that level of candor and treatment, then expect the younger generations to blast them on TikTok & avoid them like the plague, because the same way at-will employment works, at-will quitting and company blacklisting works.

I find it interesting that you are willing to assume intent on Hamas while Israel is literally on trial for intending to destroy Palestinians in Gaza as a group.

Everything you say about Hamas can be equally applied to Israel, and it is exactly what South Africa does in its legal case for the ICJ.
And certainly, this wouldn't also extend to software tools, methodology, programming paradigms...
"So you're saying that, we should stop pursuing art and prose?", no, it becomes a hobby like any other. People still sew for fun.
So your argument is predicated on the scale of inspired work being the problem?

> They are not human beings and they do not participate in the social systems of human beings the way human beings do

I don't think this adds anything to the argument besides you using this as a reason analogies with humans can't be used to compare the specific concept of inspired works? I don't think this holds up.

Algorithms participating in social systems has nothing to do with whether inspired works have a moral claim to existence for some. The fact that your ethics system values the biological classification of the originator of inspired works is something that can't be reconciled into a general argument. I could make the claim that the prompt engineer is the artist in this case.

> capital concentrates even further into the hands of a few technological elite who make their money off of flouting existing laws

That can be said by the development of any technology. Fear of capital concentration is more a critique on capitalism than it is on technological development.
I agree that it isnt that simple, but you could still ban it.

Real world policy is rarely black and white, all or nothing. An inability to prevent every instance of something is not a reason to forgo any action

Just because country X has slavery, doesnt mean the US can't ban it.
There may be some consequences, and disadvantages to doing so, but that is a trade off, not a show stopper.

Same thing with open source. There is lots of illegal and bootlegged content that is shared on the internet, and cant be eradicated. That doesnt mean it can all be freely bought at Walmart.
