Note that they're not claiming that their LLM is 1-bit - they're saying that there is a 1-bit era of LLMs. What they do say is that their approach is a variant of a 1-bit LLM variant, namely a ternary LLM (they explicitly state that in the abstract).

MISRA and Ferrocene are not really related other than both being vaguely in the safety space.

MISRA is, as you say, a set of rules for writing C code, that restrict what you can do.

Ferrocene is a qualified compiler. You write any normal Rust code you want: it's still the upstream Rust compiler. There are no restrictions.

Incidentally, someone has compared what MISRA does to what Rust does: https://github.com/PolySync/misra-rust/blob/master/MISRA-Rul...

Given that they can't repeat the MISRA stuff there, it's a bit disjoined, but it sure is interesting!
> But coinbase, isn't it a centralized service that sort of defeats the purpose of crypto/bitcoin which is supposed to be decentralized?

Dollar cost average in, say, every month, on Coinbase, withdraw the BTCs immediately to an address you control (for example using an hardware wallet).

Do that 20 times and you never have more than 5% of your cash at once on the centralized exchange.

Some call it "on ramp / off ramp".

Now I don't doubt some people use Coinbase as their wallet: both for the on/off ramp and to store their coins (that is: without bothering to ever withdraw to an address they control) but nothing forces people to do that.

> Obviously this should be corrected and is a real indictment of the medical community's position that they won't study tattooing as a procedure we could improve (the general position on tattooing is "don't do it").

Sounds like the Catholic stance on sex outside of marriage. Abstention basically. Just because they wish people don't do it, it doesn't mean the government has no responsibility for safety. It's not illegal after all.

I'm glad here in Spain they take this kind of stuff more seriously. For example if you are promiscuous you can receive free STD checks every 3 months. Even though it's a mostly Catholic country :)

I'll ask about ink check programs too.
GPT-4 is a tiny subset of "LLMs".

If you train a model to do math (and optimize representation for that), it'll do math. GPT-4 just isn't, and, generally speaking, they aren't, because it's much more efficient to train them to "use a calculator". Same as with humans.
easy, its not as long as you think.
Honestly (I have a large amount of both color & black-n-white ink) once you break the barrier on your first one, most people abandon the worry of the forever part and the flood gates open.
Because the risk is abstract and seems distant, so it's something that most people probably want but aren't thinking about actively fighting for. They might already think that these things are better regulated than they are, and not realize how unsafe consumer products are. And on the other hand there are strong financial interests that are opposed to it, who are willing to spend a lot of resources on propaganda and bribes.

You probably don't want to read his post-Sprawl/Bridge books, then. ;)

In response to the fan complaining, he said something to the effect of 'I wrote Necromancer when I was a young man, and that sort of thing doesn't interest me anymore.'

His later work is far more subtle, sort of about the pervasiveness of dystopian corporate cyberpunk themes underneath modern culture and style?

If you do want more Neuromancer, I'd recommend Richard K. Morgan's trilogy [0] (for god's sake, the books, not the TV series), Ian M. Banks' Culture books [1] (although maybe start with Excession, and read the others if you like it), or go retro for the original cyberpunk short story collections [2].

When I bought my house many many years ago, I think I got something in the sale agreement about being able to operate a business out of my house provided it was just a mail-order business without associated traffic. (The seller was continuing to live next door.)

So I'm not sure about zoning in most places--especially today--but it wouldn't surprise me if there were some restrictions on business-related commercial traffic.

I strongly don't think it's caused by SEO, it's caused by them not liking that having too much reliance on certain sources. There was an update a while back where Wikipedia/Reddit were turned way down suddenly, this is a knob they are using specifically.
There actually is a reason. It is to make sure that kids have mastery of fundamental skills that they will need in the future. If it takes you a long to subtract, for example, it will take you an impractically long to do long division, and eventually you will take so long with more complex concepts that you won't be able to learn effectively.

Additionally, you also want a fair number of problems in any given test to reduce the variance in the grades, and you want the student to be able to finish a significant number exercises that can truly cover the breadth of the content to learn, hopefully with more than one approach as well. If a student takes 2h to solve a problem there is no way they will be able to complete enough of a problem set.

Of course, there are outliers. But personally, especially given my shorter attention span, the ability to do math correctly and quickly was absolutely crucial, and I wouldn't have been able to pass otherwise.
Don’t do that. Facts and logical thought please not blaming the boogeyman for all problems.

I think a key tho in a measurement unit that’s desirable is its relationship to something consistent everywhere in the universe, such that the reference unit is reproducible by anyone. This doesn’t matter much day to day but as a system we should converge to one that anyone anywhere can agree how long a distance may be without a mutually agreed upon calibration but can calibrate without access any specific reference unit. The triple point of water is always what it is, and a colony on mars without easy access to something locked in a room in Paris or whatever can create their own reference measurements from whole cloth and they’ll be the same as the colony at Alpha Centauri now and in 20,000 years.

the people in my life who

tend to fit the profile of technology-interested hobbyist types or software developers who want to experiment with it. most if not all of them don't take it seriously as a device they're using for anything real; they're looking at it as something to build for, or experiment with, or just out of a desire to see the platform grow. none of them have told me that they use it regularly right now or have come across a compelling use case. many of them were already deeply invested in VR/AR to begin with and this is just another toy on their shelf.

i don't know of anyone who's bought it as a device in its own right where they understand the purpose of it and have plans to seriously use it for something.
Oh boy, the recency effect section definitely called me out. I often feel like a line cook taking orders, and I know it's led me to feeling burned out in the past. Good reminder to be more judicial with what lands at my feet.

The even bigger piece of wisdom I probably need to follow here is in paying attention to my subconscious. I think I'll often feel bad for leaving something untouched or half finished, but coming back and getting space away from things you don't want to do really does give you either time to rejuvenate or clarity on what to do better.
Explain to me why you need a language that is pervasively memory unsafe.

And be sure you don't cite reasons why you need unsafe callouts to unsafe capabilities. Nobody denies that.

Explain why you need a language that is pervasively unsafe, unsafe by default. Explain to me what code you are writing that has to routinely access memory outside of arrays. Explain to me what code you are writing that simply must be able to use pointers to access memory in unsafe ways.

In a nutshell, explain what these amazing benefits are to memory-unsafe languages that somehow offset the many and manifold costs we've found over years of usage.

Memory safety in a modern language is not only virtually free, it's a positive benefit. I simple do not see an argument for memory unsafe languages, especially given that every single one of them ship with "unsafe" capabilities available on demand and fully documented.

(Also recall "memory safe" does not imply Rust. Rust is a particularly strong language on that front, sure, but memory safety is basically every currently-used language except C and C++. People advocating for memory safety are not advocating for everything to be moved to Haskell or Rust.)

So why? Why should we keep using memory unsafe languages? It's all cost and no benefit. Who wants that?

(The only practical answer is "I've got a system here written in C/C++", and I concede the engineering pressures that can keep you there. But my personal opinion at this point is that greenfielding a project in C or C++ without adjoining a strong code analysis on day one is rapidly approaching, if not already reaching, professional negligence. And I've got my stink eye on C or C++ with strong code analysis.)
Absolutely but that tradeoff should be for the customer to make.
It's more a statement about the times than the technology, but it was always clear from the start that AI was going to be used more as a force multiplier for scams, profit, and predation than anything net positive for society.
Well put. Exactly how I feel since I got my first one. I used to worry about that but soon you'll have so many that that first one is not something that stands out :) Because there's so many. People always admire them and it's a good ice breaker.

If there's anything I regret it's not doing it earlier.
I always wondered about this. I assumed "surely there must be loads of studies on what happens if a person's back, arms and thighs are covered in colorful tattoos, because nature didn't design us to do this by default".

Nature also didn't design us to wear socks, but that seems mostly harmless. I just always wondered about putting ink permanently in skin.

People get exotic glow in the dark tattoo ink. That seems nuts to me.
Moreover, builders often pay the cost to hook homes up to fibre during construction. Locally (in eastern Ontario, Canada) I have seen the incumbent quote and get $500k to fibre up new rural subdivisions.

On smartphones at least, you could require users to use a specific app to establish the authenticity of the footage. You could have a code hash signature for the app to compare against the current hash and make sure the compiled code was not altered. The app can be open source so people can trust it and compile it themselves, but if the hash doesn't match the videos would be considered untrusted. You would also have to take measures to ensure that there aren't runtime modifications — a difficult thing to accomplish for sure, but something some companies are getting increasingly good at.

In addition to LIDAR data, throw in gyroscope data (would make recording a screen more obvious) and GPS data (would need the screen where you say you are — would also need to make sure device is not rooted or jailbroken to prevent spoofing of GPS) and it becomes even more challenging to fake a video. I think securing the app against modification or runtime injections is probably the biggest point of focus, but even if you were able to defeat all those measures, you'd still need to have models generate convincing LIDAR, gyroscope and GPS data. Not impossible of course, but at that point you need a rooted phone that is able to successfully hide that it is rooted, several well trained models, and the ability to defeat the video app's own security measures against both binary and runtime modifications.

On a technical level, it may not be possible to develop an app that records videos with LIDAR, gyroscope and GPS data that could not be fooled by recording a screen. In practice, I think it is possible to develop an app that could establish the authenticity of videos that nearly everyone except maybe state actors would be incapable of defeating (maybe the world's richest corporations might also have the funds to do so, though I think the odds of a whistleblower or leaks is a bit higher there — maybe Microsoft could gather a team of highly talented AI developers to generate fake videos passed as real ones without notice, but I think the likelihood of not a single one of the employees revealing that info to journalists, the government or public is low.)

I share many concerns about device attestation, as it has potential to limit a user's freedom to do what they want with the hardware that they bought and software and services that they pay for. That said, if I really was dying to use a rooted phone (I'm not currently, due to it being more hassle than it's worth), I wouldn't mind buying a second, heavily locked down device for proving videos I record are real. The device could even be powered by entirely open source software, but have a hash for the compiled ISO that is used to install the OS.
Oh, there's more than that where I live, if you count all the different grocers.

I saw someone running win98se 5 years ago, the box seething, writhing in pain with highly apparent malware, as a controller for industry grade, niche market machinery. It was network connected for "the IT company to log in and fix things", had software that would only work in win98se, and because the machine was "in the room", its browser was used because "convenient".

No one cared. This is normalcy for most people.

Even if the "it only works on bare metal" thing was true, and its hardware key device may make that a reality, there's zero reason to let people browse on it. Or leave it online 24x7, one could bring a switch port up/down when needed.

Ah well. As you say, this is normal.
