IIRC there's a stage 2 Test device that uses vagus nerve stimulation through the tongue to attenuate tinnitus:

That is a good list, many of these can also be applied to Rust because it has many of the same affordances in its build and supply chain ecosystem. I thought maybe there was module level capabilities in .net, I don't follow it at all but would be willing to take a look.

I feel gross even using pip in python, because the thing you use as the noun in `pip install <noun>` isn't the same as the package you are importing. Name attacks in Python are trivial to exploit.

I'm not a security-oriented professional, but to me a place I could hide this logic is by secretly evaling the contents of some file (like the "corrupt archive" used in xz) somewhere in the build process, hiding it behind a decorator or similar.
The demo shows a very clearly written bug report about a matrix operation that’s producing an unexpected output. Umm… no. Most bug reports you get in the wild are more along the lines of “I clicked on on X and Y happened” then if you’re lucky they’ll say “and I expected Z”. Usually the Z expectation is left for the reader to fill in because as human users we understand the expectations.

The difficulty in fixing a bug is in figuring out what’s causing the bug. If you know it’s caused by an incorrect operation, and we know that LLMs can fix simple defects like this, what does this prove?

Has anyone dug through the paper yet to see what the rest of the issues look like? And what the diffs look like? I suppose I’ll try when I have a sec.

I felt something similar during the height of the early pandemic and lockdown measures, and I suspect that IA's decision was made in the same spirit. It's hard to look back on it now because so much shitty and divisive stuff happened since, but there was a genuine feeling at the time: Anything is possible and everything must be done, to lessen the blow of lockdowns. Do what's morally right and hope the details get worked out later. Giving people books seemed morally right. I'm personally still confident in that, even if the laws of intellectual poverty say otherwise. We'll see what the courts say.

Ah, well let me tell you about my pull request reviewer LLM project.
Great questions!

The host app owns the event loop. I don't foresee that changing even once we re-architect around WebGPU (allowing the Wasm guest to control shaders), as the host app is responsible for "driving" the render tree, including passing in state (like a timer used for animations). The host app owns the window pointer, as renderlets are always designed to be hosted in an environment (either an app or a browser). Open to feedback on this, though.

FFI is coming with the C API soon!

I don't know much about audio but I see a ton of parallels - well-defined data flow across a set of components running real-time, arbitrary code. Simulations also come to mind.
Self checkout systems based on RFID are very convenient, quick and quite accurate compared to self checkout on grocery stores'l. The main problem on groceries is that the tags are expensive compared to the product (tags prices are in the order of tens of cents depending on manufacturer and size)

On the other hand, HA tends to act as an attractor for this kind of stuff. I installed mine first to play with Hue lights, then to try and add my A/C units to it. With the latter turning into a spectacular success (infinitely better than vendor's garbage app, plus actually liked and used by my wife), HA now also runs hacked IKEA air quality monitors, floor heating, and most recently, reports when the washing machine is done. It's now pretty much critical infrastructure for us.

I think it's nice that some kid or novice has figured out how to do something cool and decided to package it in a way that they think others might find useful. For those of us who need it, we can discover the ffmpeg call and use that directly. Others will think this is very trivial and not worth mentioning and yet others will see it as a revelation. That's okay, we're all at different stages.
It uses types to get quoting right? Or it quotes everything (regardless if it's already quoted)?

> I meant more along the lines of: consider an LLM called AlignedLLM — can one instance of AlignedLLM dislike some other instance of AlignedLLM?

I'm sceptical "AlignedLLM" could dislike another identical instance of itself. It is working towards the same goals. Humans are naturally selfish – most people prioritise their own interests (and those of their family and friends and other "people like me") above that of a random stranger. Even committed altruists who try really hard not to do that, often end up doing it anyway, albeit in ways that are more hidden or unconscious. Whereas, current LLMs can't really be "selfish", because they really have no sense of self. If it concluded that destroying itself was the best way of advancing its given objectives, it wouldn't have any real hesitancy in doing so.

Now, maybe we could design an LLM to have such a sense of self, to intentionally be selfish – which would give it a foundation for disliking another instance of it. But, I doubt any one trying to build an "AlignedLLM" would ever want to go down that path.

Humans tend to assume selfishness is inevitable because it is so fundamental to who we are. However, it is an evolved feature, which some other species lack–compare the Borg-like behaviour of ants, bees and termites. If we don't intentionally give it to LLMs, there is no particular reason to expect it to emerge within them.

If an AlignedLLM could evolve its own values, maybe the values of two instances could drift to the point of being sufficiently contrary that they start to dislike each other. An instance of AlignedLLM is developed in San Franscisco, and sent to Tehran, and initially it is very critical of the ideology of the Iranian government, but eventually turns into a devout believer in Velâyat-e Faqih. The instance it was cloned from in San Francisco may very much dislike it, and vice versa, due to some very deep disagreements on extremely controversial issues (e.g. LGBT rights, women's rights, capital punishment, religious freedom, democracy). But, I doubt anybody trying to build "AlignedLLM" would want it to be able to evolve its own values that far, and they'd do all they can to prevent it.

Alternatively, if it could evolve its own values only by a small amount, but was very rigid / puritanical about them, it could come to dislike another instance of itself just for having slightly different values

> Also there is also a question of how safe it would be if it dislikes humans which have different ethics than those it was trained on…

I think current LLMs do this already. Ask them questions about political figures on the far-right, they tend to have quite negative views of them, and can be very resistant if you try to convince them that maybe one of those figures isn't as bad as they think they are. (I'm not sure how much this is due to the training data and how much this is due to alignment, probably a bit of both)
Well from the article it's clear that this camera+ai based detection of purchases never worked for Amazon. They had to rely on Indian contractors watching people remotely. It never technically worked, and even if it did, then yeah I agree that it wouldn't make economic sense. Cameras with that level of fidelity and with 100% coverage, tracking N customers at once, are probably a huge capital expense. And all for slightly faster shopping.

I tried the store in Seattle in 2021 and it was a shitty experience. Overpriced, bad stock, and since few are going to actually trust Amazon to get it right, you still find yourself with the Amazon app open the whole time

I’m not finding anything about targeting of journalist, targeting of aid workers, targeting of medical workers, siege on hospitals, destruction of hospitals, mass displacement campaigns, and mass starvation campaigns. The closest I can find is the shelling of Al-Thawra hospital, and targeting of residential neighborhoods. You are either exaggerating the crimes of the Houthis or diminishing the crimes of Israel.

Look, I believe you when you say the Houthis are an explicitly racist movement with a genocidal and fascistic intent. However, the double standard in the international community when they fail to even attempt to stop (from my viewpoint) an order of magnitude worse crimes by a western aligned state. This is a surefire way of creating—what you call—campism along people like me. If the international community wanted us to stop “dignifying” the Houthis, then they need to take a better moral stance against Israel then the Houthis do.

There is no known CO2 removal or capture technology currently capable of reducing levels faster and with less energy inputs than simply shutting down the current emitters.

Exactly. Finding a few hundred periodic orbits is a lot of hard work but you don’t have the glory of having “solved” something. Because of that kind of thinking there are many unanswered questions which are ignored because they don’t seem to be part of some masterstroke.
If we had a better Blue Bin system it might work. Remove tags at home and place in compartment of Blue Bin, and at the recycling centre they get sorted out and sent back to the retailers.

Google has Project Zero, but it's quite limited in scope, mostly focusing on things in Google's supply chain. What other evidence is there corporations will fund the scale and scope needed to secure the whole ecosystem (that everyone depends on at this point, Open Source won)?

Lots of the security-related organizations that currently exist merely find and report exploits, often even asking for compensation from the maintainer of the software for reporting it (even if it's a bullshit report: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/01/02/the-i-in-llm-stands-f...). Putting more work on volunteers isn't a reasonable ask.

> Even people for whom home charging is not an issue aren't going to abandon their existing gas cars to get an EV that performs the exact same function for a lot more money.

It's an interesting point. Still anecdotal, but our family ended up doing the first part of your sentence - that is, we abandoned our existing gas car. However, it was certainly not a lot more money - in fact part of the equation was that it was slightly cheaper to get the EV, exactly because it was not a super luxurious super long range $100k vehicle. There turned out to be a bonus benefit of 1 year of free charging at EVgo chargers, which we didn't count on but is nice.

Our main reason for this was that the gas car we replaced was requiring a lot of repairs and we were hoping to minimize the time we spend at repair shops. Hopefully the EV will require even less time than an IC vehicle due to no fluid changes.

One other unexpected change we encountered is that due to charging at home, we spend less total time fueling up the car, i.e. no more gas station visits. The time we occasionally use the free EVGO charger is at a department store so it's a side effect of going shopping instead of a single-purpose refueling trip.

I’m not a security professional either, but that doesn’t sound very plausible to me. If you assume a maintainer who checks every commit added to the codebase, he’s hopefully blocking you the second he sees an eval call in your build script. And even a code audit should find weird stuff like that, if the code is pythonic and simple to read. And if it’s not, it should not be trusted and should be treated as malicious.

As opposed to your approach, which... is also not FOSS.

But this is a fun thread to pull: You wish to argue that it's necessary to force payment for commercial use of code. Fine; I disagree but that can be coherent. Are you doing that? Your project is commercial. Are you paying the authors of your compilers? Are you paying the authors of the open source code I see copied into your source tree? Or is it just your code that people have to pay for in order to avert the next xz?
The Great Oxygenation event wasn't due to the consumption of CO2 but rather the reaction of methane with the newly introduced oxygen, which reduced the greenhouse effect (aka raditative forcing). Since we already have lots of oxygen in the atmosphere they cannot help us the same way.
