I reckon this all comes down to a bunch of diligence/negligence judgements that will eventually be ironed out in the courts if necessary after some initial broad legislation, but as someone with no legal expertise, at least, it still seems pretty messy.

The inability to extract a training set from a model adds a lot of ethical ambiguity to generative images, as does the ambiguity in who’s responsible for what the models produce. I think it would be utterly ridiculous to say that someone training models with CSAM has no culpability in what it produces— only for possessing the CSAM to begin with— but I also think it would be utterly ridiculous to hold people accountable for everything their models produce, given their flexibility. What about writing a prompt that generates CSAM inadvertently? What if nobody involved intended to make CSAM but through some algorithmic shenanigans the prompt produced it? Should we legally require some amount of model testing before it’s used? Would the tester be violating the law if it failed the test, even if they reviewed every single image in the training set? Who’s responsible for deliberately poisoned models with secret key terms, or malicious data that is not CSAM but can trick the model into creating it? Would some entity like Midjourney that not only provides a model, but a complete appliance for this process be responsible for the images it produced? Does it matter if they authored the models they use? What if users can upload or train their own models? How does automation ethically affect these considerations?

Someone with legal expertise obviously would have a better grasp of these situations than I do, but I do know we’ve got a lot of growing pains en route with this technology.
Others have mentioned the same - I tried several times the same combination and got no result. However, it's now clear from other replies that eventually there will be some result (even if it's just one of the inputs), so I guess that argument doesn't hold.
> [..] where understanding what the author intended can save literal hours of examination, experimentation etc.

The problem with that it that you are relying on an inherently unreliable source of information - a human to enter details which may or may not lead you to the correct path.

The code doesn't "lie". Just read it and the current issue and work from there.
> started to view my job more as identifying and working on the simple things to let the complex stuff fall out rather than attacking the complex stuff directly.

This corresponds well with what I think that software development actually is: it's almost entirely an exercise in complexity management.
Can't speak for vim, but with emacs it's a lot like building your own lightsabre. If you want to invest the time, it can be very rewarding, as you're basically building your own tool chest full of your own customized tools.

But it does take time, and doesn't come "out of the box" with the creature comforts you're probably used to, and has "weird" ways of doing things that are very old but there's usually good reasons for them.
When I tried the GP's prompt, I got a polar bear with a unicorn horn and a rainbow horse tail on the bottom (wrong, but to be fair pretty amazing looking).

When I responded that it had put a polar bear on the bottom and could it make an image with a unicorn on the bottom instead, it correctly responded with images similar to yours. Interesting that it has no problem generating the image, but there's some subtlety in parsing the request.

There are many very simple heuristics for solving 3-SAT, some even with analytical convergence estimates. A simple random walk (Algorithm P in Knuth's Satisfiability fascicle), which iterates through the clauses and flips a variable at random if it encounters a violated clause, will do the trick too
When I lived in SF proper I would take BART to/from SFO. Now I live mid peninsula and then Caltrain/Bart transfer timing is often terrible. That trip can vary from 30 to 60 minutes of transit + 10 min walking. So depending on how it works out, I'll often Uber instead.
Having written USB HID code for barcode scanners where this came up (thrilling I know). None of the major OSes support it including OS X. It’s sort of a homage to a historical artifact (that table dates to the early 90s) but useless because even if you use those old keyboards you will have to emulate with the usual scan code.

OP's point is that, while commit message is indeed a historical record, documentation isn't (or shouldn't).

If you double commit message as documentation, it would cause issues like wrong information confusing or misleading future readers because it's non-editable.

Not every business or service can "scale", and even fewer can do so in the way Wall Street wants.

I was at Cisco in the early 1990s working for customer service for the US Federal sales team. The Cold War Era Defense Procurement Allocation System (DPAS) — which is still on the books [https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/other-areas/strategic-indu...] — classified routers and switches as "Missile Parts."

We had to expedite any government deliveries purchased under DX-rated and DO-rated orders. And there were a lot of them.

We also faced Department of Commerce and Department of State restrictions on shipping any software that included 56-bit (DoC limited) or 64-bit (DoS limited) encryption. It made it hard to ensure data-in-flight was secure around the world. [A lot of international banks were not happy the USG was blocking 64-bit encryption to them and only allowed on a case-by-case basis.]

Decade? I disagree. A lot of the changes to highlight places with more commercial activity to give a high level overview of places to visit, the reviews and ratings system, the highlighting of landmarks, transit directions with live train/bus updates, local guides and so on were immensely helpful features that make trip planning these days so much easier and I think most of these were post 2014 and they made substantial and positive changes during 2014 to 2019 at least

I'd agree in the last 4-5 years the changes have been worse. Post-COVID they seem to have focused on making a lot of negative changes by stuffing it with too many ads, worse color schemes and a lot of "features" that are half baked to try and capture users and send them to paying businesses on the platform

Hello btown, you are indeed raising legitimate questions here.

You are right in the sense that using automated security testing tools in production creates a risk. But there are workarounds:

1) Most of Escape's security scans happen on staging or pre-prod environments, where there is little risk of breaking something critical or finding real customer data.

2) We have designed a specific scan mode for production APIs, that is made with safety in mind. It will not attempt the riskiest attack scenarios and, thus will be safe for production use at the cost of scanning depth.

You can chose a scan mode when adding a new application for testing in Escape. So far, most of our users use both modes, one for the production environment and one for the development environment, to spot bugs early.

No user ever had problems with the production scanning mode.

By the way, the core algorithm powering Escape is more a graph traversal algorithm than LLMs. We do use a small, self-hosted LLM for specific inference tasks, but everything is made in-house, and we don't use OpenAI or any other inference API.

Hope that helps!

> Thing is... VR is more fun than it is something you'd wanna be productive on?

For me it's opposite. It seems like any VR entertainment or games can only be a novelty that I would do for a week then get bored. But I feel like if the tech is good enough, I would definitely want it for productivity. I'm constantly annoyed by having to have so many screens and it still feels too few screens. Not to mention travel & coding.

And having some sort of notes around the house or w/e, things like that could be amazing.

But it just has to be comfortable and performant enough to allow for many screens and good productive input.

Comfyui is just for interacting with stable diffusion.

This supports other models.
The other thing you can do is composition of individually-verified parts. In your example, you make tests that really exercise the shutdown function. Also, note any preconditions these functions need to meet so the application calling it can be consistent with specs. From there, just assume shutdown works if used within the tested spec.

This method also encourages reusing working specs, code, and tests. We see that in DO-178C with the RTOS’s, etc.

> I've tested bard/gemini extensively on tasks that I routinely get very helpful results from GPT-4 with, and bard consistently, even dramatically underperforms.

Yes. And I don't buy the lmsys leaderboard results where Google somehow shoved a mysterious gemini-pro model to be better than GPT-4. In my experience, its answers looked very much like GPT-4 (even the choice of words) so it could be that Bard was finetuned on GPT-4 data.

Shady business when Google's Bard service is miles behind GPT-4.

Presumably because we see the actions and consequences attached to him deciding to be bad. If the good is only contained in one cursory final chapter, there's no substance to it. Might as well save it for a sequel.
It's different. Painters, sculptors, musicians, etc. are all doing something which is ultimately in service of making others happy and fulfilled. A mathematician or scientist working on something terribly narrow and abstruse is arguably only working on something in service of making themselves happy and fulfilled. Since they are frequently supported by taxpayer money, asking whether what they're working on is worth that expense is totally legitimate. The idea that we can't question the legitimacy or applicability of research because we can't predict how useful that research will be useful in 300 years is dumb.

If you want to be taken seriously, it's better to spend some time dwelling on whether you are responsibly fulfilling your obligation to society. For many professors, I think this could easily be addressed by shifting the focus away from research back to where it belongs: teaching.
