Yeah. Almost everytime I see someone excitedly show me how they've used ChatGPT to automate some non-marketing writing I just come away thinking "congratulations on automating wasting everyone else's time".

I find really hard to understand how a system like this can STILL be fooled by the Scunthorpe issue (this time with "cocktail"). Aren't LLM supposed to be good at context?

> As long as the Left is worrying about whether the chatbots are racist, people won’t pay attention to the net effect of these tools.

It's by design. A country obsessed with racial politics has little time for the politics of anything else.
I do think, or maybe that's just how it works for me, that it doesn't really matter what you do, as long as it is something that gets you going, where you don't have to think extensively, which can be anything.

- Doing something outdoors (hiking, biking)

- Cook my favorite meal (so that I don't have to research anything, but can just start)

- Clean the house

- whatever

The cleaning one is a big meme on some parts of the internet, but for me it does an incredible job. It's easy, you don't have to think much, while it still occupies your brain for some time and in the end you're happy and feel comfortable.
Its not really a question about want, its a question about facts. Their actions will make a significant mark on the future. So far it seems like they are trying to promote positive changes such as inclusion and equality. Which is far far far fucking really infinitely far better than trying to promote exclusion and inequality

> Exmaple: Google image search for "Software Developer" and you get results such that there will be the same amount of women and men event though men make up the large majority of software developers.

Now do an image search for "Plumber" and you'll see almost 100% men. Why tweak one profession but not the other?

The one thing this idea is not is neat, though. It's the opposite of it. It entrenches the opposite of neat.
Ask HN: Anyone Using AdaBelief in ML?
I recently discovered the AdaBelief optimizer and have been impressed with what I've read, and have started using it, but I'm curious to hear any real-world feedback from people who have used it.
This is the job description for the CSO (chief security officer): Get fired when the inevitable security breach occurs.
That's a self-imposed problem. If they used a semi-random account handle (e.g. chosen nickname + 4 digits) there would be nothing to enumerate, and remaining spam could be filtered out with a "message requests" feature.

I've received hundreds of spam messages on Facebook, but I only found out about them years later when I clicked on "message request" tab by accident, it's extremely effective.
How would the results compare to:

1. Video frames are sampled (based on frame clarity)

2. The images are fed to OCR, with their content outputed as:

Frame X: <content of the frame>

3. The accomulated text is given to an average LLM (Mistral) and asked the same request mentioned by the author (creating a JSON file containing book information)

Wouldn't we get something similar? maybe if a more sophisticed AI is used? So the monopoly on Gemini Pro for video processing (specifically when it comes to handling text present inside the video) is not really a sustainable advantage? or am I missing something (as this is something beyond just a fancy OCR hooked into a LLM? as the model would be able to tell that this text is on a book for instance?)
This is nice. but since google is probably training on it's vast google books data set, i'm not extremely surprised.

I guess the fear is if we don’t work hard, a country will regress. We certainly have many examples of countries around the world that have very low productivity and corresponding widespread hunger, sickness, violence and crime etc. It’s a hard balance to maintain, between being productive and recreation, but some European countries are able to tentatively pull it off (atleast for now when the long tail of colonialism or oil wealth is still bringing in enough money).
AI search is a doomsday cult
Again: different projects, different goals. What Telegram is doing is inherently viral; the platform has an emphasis on bringing huge groups of people together, and the resulting design affordances, and that's a goal that basically works against privacy in the first place. Signal's original goal is to replace intimate messaging.

People who love the Telegram affordances wish that the platform would also suffice for intimate messages. Why have two platforms, two UX's, and (most importantly) two user bases? People who live Signal wish the other thing.

But you can't have both. They are incompatible design spaces. Telegram's security story is atrocious. It's best compared with Slack, not with Signal. If you're looking to compare a serious secure messenger with Telegram, look at Matrix, which has many of the same goals.

It is important that there be a messaging platform in common (if not universal) use that is fit for purpose for secure messaging when it really matters: when the compromise a message could cost lives or fortunes. Most "secure messaging" is LARPing; it doesn't matter if the "E2EE" in a pseudonymous 500-person chat room is secure. By all means, make it harder to dragnet that channel, modernize the protocols, whatever. But you can see right away how little security really matters to these groups, whether they're on Telegram (with no group security) or Matrix (which at least tries), because messaging app affordances are all people talk about with them.
>Jack Welch was an engineer.

That's a funny way of spelling "Self-entitled jackass, who would spit on his own mother for a nickel", but I'll accept it.

Edit: I guess the DVs are just ignorant idiots. here is just one example of how stellar of a guy ole Jack was:

Under Welch's leadership, GE waged a twenty-year battle with the Environmental Protection Agency and New York State over polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that the company dumped into the Hudson River at its capacitor products division plant in Hudson Falls, New York.
Gotta love such a high quality fix. When your upper high tech, state of the art algorithm learns racist patterns just blocklist the word and move on. Don't worry about why it learned such patterns in the first place.
Sure, but this one is from Google adding a tag to make every image of people diverse, not AI randomness.
Not really, usually you have some translation to ensure data from different systems is aligned/translated into a unified format. It’s expensive and cumbersome to do this in every dependent downstream system over and over again. Especially if upstream systems change, you want to implement that change in one central place instead of all downstream systems.

I think there’s a lot of value in the snowflake approach: put all your enterprise data in a single logical data layer, where you can easily share that data with different tenants. Transformation and unification can be handled by the data layer.

Systems get customized a lot: sap installations have a lot of company specific fields and objects, same for most other enterprise systems. Having all those customizations effect a network of connected systems is hard to manage. Better to dump all data into an enterprise wide data layer, and then let every tenant take whatever it needs. Also will provide for more flexible access to the data (sorting, pagination, filtering) and better performance.
I will be in the market for a text-to-speech engine, but from looking at the website it seems the model of Retell is trying to push is "use our all in one model + text to speech service" which is problematic when my choice of model and control over how that model runs is at the core of my product, and text to speech is a "nice to have" feature. I want an endpoint that I can fire off text to in a streaming mode, where it'll buffer that streaming text a little and then stream out a beautiful, natural sounding voice with appropriate emotion and intonation in a voice of my design. I'm sure I'm not really Retell's ideal customer, and they're going after lucrative "all in one" customers that just want to build on top of a batteries-included product.
Not OP, but I can think of a few:

* List of topics that are "controversial" (models tend to evade these)

* List of arguments that are "controversial" (models wont allow you to think differently. For example, models would never say arguments that "encourage" animal cruelty)

* On average, how willing is the model to take a neutral position on a "controversial" topic (sometimes models say something along the lines of "this is on debate", but still lean heavily towards the less controversial position instead of having no position at all. For example, if you ask it what "lolicon" is, it will tell you what it is and tell you that japanese society is moving towards banning it)

How do we know that it was just 'someone was supposed to be checking the bolts before the plane left the facility and they didn't'. Because I'm not sure it's actually been fully revealed where the problem was. And despite the production issues, I'm of the opinion that the door-plug design should have been fail safe like the other doors where just pressure prevents them from being opened during flight. And another thing, passing the buck to QA doesn't let engineering off the hook since QC in this setting is a part of the engineering!

That was the miscalculation. Conquering territory fast isn't good enough to achieve victory in war. In fact the opposite is probably true: being able to steamroll your immediate neighbors can cause you to overextend and ultimately lead to defeat.
Surely there is a middle ground.

The semantic web did work. Google was able to enrich their own searches and bought a large semantic web called Freebase and incrementally enriched their web searches .

What spectrum means in this context is that it's a multi-dimensional problem- different levels of severity across a large number of different dimensions. Executive function is typically broken up into a large number of different functions, and people have different levels of each, so a person that functions well in one context might do poorly in another, and vice versa.

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into it
I know that thinking, but learning more about RSA, I came to realize that there's a flipside of this.

People think "RSA is easy", because someone gave them a lecture of a simplified/wrong/insecure version of RSA. Pretty much all "simple introductions to RSA" you can find out there are wrong.

The truth is: RSA isn't that simple. If you want to have RSA, and want to have it secure, there's a whole bunch of things to consider. But RSA looks simple.

So lots of people go ahead and implement their RSA. And then you end up with, hey, I can break almost a third of the top 100 webpage's RSA implementations. (I'm not kidding, I did that -> https://robotattack.org/ .)

I think the fact that crystals-kyber is obviously not that simple may actually protect us. Because hopefully most peopple will end up using some hopefully well audited optimized free implementation, because they won't even have the idea that they could do this on their own.
Probably overkill for content moderation, I'd think. You can identify bad words looking only at audio, and you can probably do nearly as good a job of identifying violence and nudity examining still images. And at YouTube scale, I imagine the main problem with moderation isn't so much as being correct, but of scaling. statista.com (what's up with that site, anyway?) suggests that YouTube adds something like 8 hours of video per second. I didn't run the numbers, but I'm pretty sure that's way too much to cost effectively throw something like Gemini Pro at.
Excluding the internet, people at large have been great at confabulating bullshit for about forever. Just jump in your time machine and go to a bar pre cellphone/internet and listen to any random factoid being tossed out to see that happening.

The internet was a short reprieve because putting data up on the internet, for some time at least was difficult, therefore people that posted said data typically had a reason to do so. A labor of love, or a business case, in which these cases typically lead to 'true' information being posted.

If you're asking why so much bullshit is being posted on the inet these days, it's because it's cheap and easy. That's what has changed. When spam became cheap, easy, and there was a method of profiting from it, we saw it's amount explode.

Tbc, based on the comment that looks to be driven almost completely by the fact that they are making a tiny number of incredibly expensive bespoke machines, so they can't just keep extra machines lying around to do unit tests with (both because each machine is expensive, and because the results wouldn't necessarily generalize to other machines). So it sounds like a constraint of the field, not bad choices.

> If I left a million dollars out on my front porch, and someone stole it, that would not be my fault in any sort of way

It's possible for multiple people to share the blame for something. You _are_ the victim. The person who stole it _is_ the bad guy / criminal. But you _both_ share the blame, because you did something to put yourself at risk when you had better options.

If I'm out late at night, wearing expensive jewelry and have 2 ways home; one longer but down a well lit road, the other shorter but through a dark alley in a crime ridden neighborhood; and I chose the dark alley and got mugged... I would be the victim AND be partially to blame for making a stupid choice.

Making choices that put yourself at risk by ignoring the realities of the world, when you don't need to, mean you share the blame.

This right here.

I'm currently building out some code that should go in production in the next week or two and simply because of this we are using LLM to prefill data and then have a human look over it.

For our use case the LLM prefilling the data is significantly faster but if it ever gets to the point of that not needing to happen it would take a task whichtakes about 3 hours ( now down to one hour ) and make it a task that takes 3 minutes.

Will LLMs ever get to the point where it is perfectly reliable ( or at least with an error margin low enough for our use case ), I don't think so.

It does make for a very cheap accelerator though.
I think HN moderation guardrails should be public.
