I, just, can't believe you could think that. Have you never debugged code you didn't write? There are six billion people in the planet and you think it's more likely that a given piece of professional code will only ever be read by one person? A person leaves the company and you just delete everything they wrote so nobody can read it?
Have you ever worked on projects (particularly java suffers from this) where there is generational bloat because most people have very narrow understanding of the codebase so they can only add things and not remove/refactor without breaking it? That’s how

The Facebook of my girlfriend got hacked, passwords and email changed. This is a public request to whoever did it, knows who did it or just wants to lend a hand.

There are many pictures of her and her kids on there that don't exist anywhere else. I'm only asking that you unblock the page so I can scalp the photos.

If anyone out there knows how to get this done, hit me up. Thank you.
I am aware this is part of a bigger series of attacks and hacks but for me the photos of us and the kids are the only goal.

Did people really think leading the development of the most important invention in human history wouldn’t involve a little bit of drama?

I know everyone wants OpenAI to be a magical place that open sources their models the moment they’re done training, but it’s clear that they’ve chosen a reasonable path for their business based on both practicality and risk reduction. If they had gone another way, today they’d be an unceremonious branch of Elon’s empire, or a mid-level nonprofit that never had the means to hire the best people and is still spending all their time soliciting donations to train GPT 3.5.

They did what they believed they had to do to be the ones to get to AGI. Will they be the safest stewards of this tech? Hard to say, though it’s clear even the once safety minded Anthropic isn’t shying from releasing SOTA models.
I don't know if it's just me, but the feeling I have is that in the last 5 years, mass media has been more shameless in its lies, like they even stopped trying to hide the fact that they are lying. They must know that 20% of their audience is able to completely disprove what they just said with 2 minutes of Googling, but they don't care.

And now that I think of it, that must be exactly the feeling that people have in oppressive regimes: Everyone knows that they're being lied to, but it's just accepted as a fact of life.

Not as if the various traditional media outlets were not thoroughly subverted by various powers. Every wannabempireagain had a anti imperialist newspaper, every billionaire owned the "donotmovechangenothing" other half. They of course try to recreate that on the internet, the problem is the angry citizens do no longer want to read that crap,almost as if they had the short end of the stick for decades.
A lot of fluff in here, most of it selectively chosen. I'll be waiting for the discovery in the court case before I form an opinion on who is in the right here.
I agree with your sentiment but the prediction is very silly. Basically every time openai releases something they beat the state of the art in that area by a large margin.
This made me think back of the days of +Orc [1]. I believe a lot of knowledge common back then, like how to find and nop out an undesired branch, has been lost. Which is fair, there’s way more other tech to learn nowadays.

Layers and looking at what the business needs to achieve for business continuity and recovery. How quickly do you need to restore services after a major incident (natural disaster to internal user with God access)? What is an acceptable amount of data loss at any point in time? What are your legal obligations? Then finally, compare the financial/social/legal impact of those events against what the company will allow against what it can afford. This same conversation should tie directly into your Service Level agreements/uptime goals.

Simple? Nah, doing this properly is an entire department/role (CISO) plus other groups.

Some quick practical basics.

- NIST publishes some good starting points https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework
- Shared credentials are evil. All admins should be operating off their own accounts
- MFA and SSO
- A backup isn't a backup if you haven't validated you can restore it
- Replication isn't backup. You need something that is immutable and has history. To start I would suggest a nightly backup, with each backup retained for 45 days at minimum. GDPR complicates this with right to be forgotten but this is a starting point.
I think they are just catering to biases of their viewer base. The media is no longer in the news reporting business, they are really just catering to reinforcing whatever bias of their customer base is. And maybe that's because traditional media has just gone up in smoke for young people, they have to chase those ad dollars very aggressively.

TAOCP itself embodies several layers of yak shaving, since he was initially commissioned to write a book on compilers, then decided to start the book with material on more basic algorithms (with compilers relegated to later chapters), then each pair of chapters expanded to become its own volume, then volume 4 expanded to become three or more volumes. 60 years later he still hasn't gotten to the compiler part yet!

Walker spots doggers 'pounding away' at popular Galway pitch where children play
Late 80s computers were fairly common in Ireland, 386's and Mac's, although as you say mostly non-Dos, Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari and some other exotics.

We had a computer lab in my very run down school that has Macs and Apple IIs. My family were working class, if you had an interest there was a network of computer enthusiasts who would happy swap stuff, get you hardware etc. We bought a second hand 386 from somewhere, then fucked it up trying to add more memory I think. I was only a kid, but my dad saw me self learning BASIC and would encourage that sort of thing.

If this was happening in 80s Ireland I'd be surprised to learn they were rare in other countries, we weren't exactly doing well at that point.

The underlying premise that llms are capable of fully generalizing to a human level across most domains, i assume?
> Society is approaching them as some type of universal ethical arbiter, expecting an omniscient sense of justice which is fundamentally unreconcilable even between two sentient humans when the ethics are really just a hacked on mod to the core model.

That’s a real issue but I doubt the solution is technical. Society will have to educate itself on this topic. It’s urgent that society understand rapidly that LLMs are just word prediction machines.

I use LLMs everyday, they can be useful even when they say stupid things. But mastering this tool requires that you understand it may invent things at any moment.

Just yesterday I tried the Cal.ai assistant which role is to manage your planning (but it don’t have access to your calendars that’s pretty limited). You communicate with it by mail. I asked him to organise a trip by train and book an hotel. It responded, « sure what is your preferred time for the train and which comfort do you want ? » I answered and it answered back that, fine, it will organise this trip and reach me back later. It even added that it will book me an hotel.

Well, it can’t even do that, it’s just a bot made to reorganize your cal.com meetings. So it just did nothing, of course. Nothing horrible since I know how it works.

But would I have been uneducated enough on the topic (like 99,99% of this planet’s population, I’d just thought « Cool, my trip is being organized, I can relax now ».

But hey, it succeeded at the main LLM task : being credible.

I'm guessing this means you don't have any studies to back your claim. Neither do I, but in my experience most code is left to run when someone leaves the company. If issues come up, someone is assigned to support the code and nine times out of ten (okay, maybe eight) the person on support decides to rewrite the code. FWIW, the six billion people stat hardly seems relevant, right?
I'm kind of surprised they'd post something this substantial without any apparent proofreading (given the repetition around the Tesla stuff).
LLMs don't really average viewpoints. They just learn multiple viewpoints.

That quote is why you can't take anything seriously on the internet about running software or software engineering seriously.

Well, there are such tools for C, but wouldn't using them be detrimental in this context? Think, like using a debugger vs. trying to wrap the execution in one's mind: I'not saying that one shouldn't use debuggers, but not using one has benefits, as a teaching device.

Like running in a weight vest.

Edit: ah, perhaps you meant, in addition to using raw C, one should also learn how to use such static analyzers & cie
So, what you're telling me is that every thing they say has already been said before, completely verbatim? Like, if I asked it to write a story about a dog named Jebediah surfing to planet Xbajahabvash, it would basically just find a link to someone else's story that wrote about the same dog surfing to the same planet? That sounds like an infinitely large amount of combinations. Perhaps the internet is just infinitely large, squared (or even circled).
> They all seem aware to some extent that these tools can occasionally generate nonsense.

You have too many smart people in your circle, many people are somewhat aware that "chatgpt can be wrong" but fail to internalize this.

Consider machine translation: we have a lot of evidence of people trusting machines for the job (think: "translate server error" signs) , even tho everybody "knows" the translation is unreliable.

But tbh moral and truth seem somewhat orthogonal issues here.
Banning crypto won’t solve the problem. The existence of crypto forces software vendors to increase their security. It’s like trying to outlaw alcohol to fix the problem of drunk driving.

That is the reason it should be used as a learning tool. So that you know the nitty gritty details without anyone "managing" it away from you.

Network Tunneling with QEMU
The law mandates egress to be free or at provider cost when two data processing services are used in parallel; AWS, OTOH, provides it free (better than is minimally required!) and to customers not protected by the law at issue (also more than required!) but only when migrating off of AWS, not when using AWS alongside another service, so (assuming it continues to charge much more than their cost for all other egress) is not actually complying with the law outside of a very narrow subset of the cases where it applies.

This is a particularly meaningless gesture in the direction of compliance from a provider dominant across so many categories of cloud services as AWS is -- the whole point of the "in parallel" requirement in the law is, I would assume, to prevent the mega-cloud providers (AWS, mainly, but also Azure and GCP) from being able to effectively lock customers to monopolize areas of cloud services where their specific offerings are weak by the egress fees of their dominant offerings which would be used alongside them. "Free only when you are transferring out to leave our platform" doesn't address this lock-in at all.

You're being naive. Cybercrime and ransoms happened before cryptocurrency was a thing. Criminals do real life criminal things, and that goes especially for intelligence agencies, mobsters and ransomware agencies. If they couldn't sell it for crypto, this data would end up in the hands of such people. Sounds like someone trying to make an argument for shutting down the future of finance, which is far less criminal than the existing system of finance, on the basis of "cybercrimes occur"

No thanks.
Is your function to also remove and simplify information? I ask because that seems like a pretty simple explanation. I was trying to study ML, but think I should just read children's books, or maybe not even read at all.
I think it is more nuanced, you can also change the organization bottom up, but it needs to be new stuff that does not exist or has it infancy. Changing existing stuff is very hard even top-down.

Because that's just how language works, I can think of a dozen perfectly working words that have synonyms. The word haptic existed long before touch screens and capacitive buttons. What else could it have been used for then?

They need to be specified precisely because today buttons that don't have any haptic feedback exists.
> ... chosen a specific path for their business based on both practicality and risk reduction

The risk reduction didn't go so well now that Elon is putting up lawyers to force them to become more "open".

This organization thrives in the dark and they know their secret to success depends on it. Would save every one a lot of time if they came out as a proper non-profit and dropped "open" in the name/branding.

On my beefy desktop, load times for the home page are at around three seconds. On my feeble (but still enormously expensive: a Microsoft Surface) laptop, it’s well in excess of 10 seconds. Both tests run on the very same network, so my conclusion is that load times are CPU bound, aka there’s huge amounts of JavaScript running, for one reason or another.
It's very inefficient, both on terms of runtime and in terms wasted entropy.

No, I think they started closing down and going for profit at the time they realized that GPT was going to be useful. Which sounds bad, but at the limit, useful and dangerous are the same continuum. As the kids say, OpenAI got "scale-pilled;" they realized that as they dumped more compute and more data onto those things, the network would just pick up more and discontinuous capabilities "on its own."

I agree completely. The “move fast and break things” mantra did more damage to the industry than anything. A big company saying that is fine, they have the resources to fix it. A small company doesn’t have the resources to fix something because they’ve already moved on to the next feature/project.

You’ve pointed out the cause for the reason devs are the way they are, at least a sound reason. I disagree that it’s entirely the company’s fault though. In the real world, if you hire a guy to wire your house up, he has an obligation to do it correctly: to keep his license and protect you from the hidden dangers of bad electrical wiring. We are those electricians. The owners of the house have very little idea what we are doing and the consequences of doing a poor job.
For me, as a long-time Android app developer, it was interesting to see how Apple approaches things somewhat differently and more thoughtfully.

On Android, you basically have the Layout class (and its subclasses) that does everything related to both layout and rendering, and TextView which implements some of the editing/selection logic. The only difference between EditText and TextView is that EditText enables that editing functionality already present in TextView. The problem with this rather monolithic approach (and poor APIs) is that if you need more control over how your app renders text, you're out of luck. Want to get at the individual glyphs after they've been laid out for example? Nope, sorry.
The free market was working, in the sense that there are decent options which don't use egress fees as lock-in. The issue was that the invisible hand is too slow and involves too much chaos when strong network effects (and related lock-in) become involved. Such effects weaken the presumption that competitors can be easily switched to.
