This is comment is cooler than my Arctic Vault badge on GitHub.

Who were the countless unknown contemporaries of Giotto and Cimabue? Of Da Vinci and Michelangelo? Most of what we know about Renaissance art comes from 1 guy - Giorgio Vasari. We have more diverse information about ancient Egypt than the much more recent Italian Renaissance because of, essentially, better preservation techniques.

Compliance, interoperability, and publishing platforms for all this work (HuggingFace, Ollama, GitHub, HN) are our cathedrals and clay tablets. Who knows what works will fill the museums of tomorrow.
It does use the same engine from Firefox, although not always the latest version. This project strives to backport security updates from newer Firefox versions whenever they can, sometimes being able to upgrade the base Firefox version, while keeping the legacy XUL based add-on support. This is actually one thing I like wtih Seamonkey, alongside its HTML editor (that which could see better support for CSS and Javascript/ECMAScript stuff) and GUI based image blocking.

I find the geometric proof of the product rule using differentials much more intuitive than the difference quotient proof. The difference quotient proof is a clever algebraic trick, but it doesn't (at least for me) give any deep insight about why the product rule works.
As the sibling comment mentions, the FSM will be a much better resource for this. It's worth having a Haynes or Chilton, since they're cheap and sometimes have different approaches, but the FSM is really the best source of truth (most of the time).
If you know how the right amount feels, it really does not matter one bit how far off your initial measurement is. You start with an amount too low, and you add more until it feels right. If the amount you start with is 24% too low vs 20% too low bears no significance. Obviously you shouldn't start with an amount so far off as to be too high, but again that would never happen if you are going by feel.
Haiti, a considerable part of sub Saharan Africa, Burma, there’s plenty of examples of society failing and leading to civil war.
The example is meant to be silly to demonstrate that there’s clearly some limit of what is acceptable and it’s the stricter intersection of every level of government within the bounds of what’s constitutional. One of those levels is the local government consisting of the people that already live in a municipality.

There’s no inherent right, whether constitutionally granted or innately, for you to build whatever you’d like, wherever you’d like. Just like I can’t go build a shack in the middle of NYC’s Central Park.

Framing it as racism or classism is a sign that you don’t have any other valid arguments. It’s literally just an excuse for a land grab!

>that is way too many nines.

Look: I come across literally thousands of people just taking a stroll through a busy airport once, and I will literally never see them again for as long as I live.

Now imagine how many people I come across just taking a walk through a city: Tens if not hundreds of thousands. And again: I will literally never see them again for as long as I live.

Now consider how many people I would come across just doomwatching/scrolling the media: At least a few dozen authors, casters, and editors and millions if not billions of people portrayed by them. And not only will I literally never see them again for as long as I live, technically I haven't even seen them yet.

So arguably, I put down too few nines.

50 billion dollars and fewer than 10 million MAU. That's a massive failure.

Where has that ever worked? Predatory pricing is highly unlikely.

It's up to the workers themselves to decide whether that's a good deal.

And I'm not sure why as a worker you would decide to rot? If someone pays me a lot to put in a token effort, just so I don't work for the competition, I might happily take that over and practice my trumpet playing while 'working from home'.

I can also take that offer and shop it around. Perhaps someone else has actual interesting work, and comparable pay.

If I'm not mistaken the DSA is focused on content moderation and how content algorithms work. This article describes EU concerns having to do with whether or not the app is addictive, I'm not really sure if that falls under how the algorithm works so much as how users respond to it.

That said, this app and so many other social media apps are trash. People should be choosing not to use them regardless of regulations.
Perhaps it's the smart tradies that like a job where they can knock off at the end of the day, and not have to think about it at all until the next day?

I wish there were a proper way to thank open source authors and contributors. I'm thinking of a single place where users could write their thanks and the open source folks could read it.

That's not a thing at all. Multiple signatories of the UN Declaration of Human Rights restrict freedom of speech.

In Germany, for instance, the penal code forbids denying the Holocaust and Nazi Propaganda, multiple other countries have laws that cover hate speech and racism, like Brazil does.

Unrestricted freedom of speech is very much a US thing, and even in the US there is a lot of case law for when there are restrictions.

Absolutely, to a certain extent at least. The food industry and mass-marketing complex has to be stopped, it is harming the health of humanity. We need a higher quality food supply, and we need a ban on most food marketing because it is a uniquely psychologically damaging form of propaganda.

This is not some problem with the character or individual discipline of people living in certain countries, it is the problem with production decisions and a powerful industry that has gone too far.

My understanding of the DSA is that its focused on content moderation and disclosure of how content algorithms work. Whether the content is addictive really isn't directly related, that's a measure of how users respond to the content rather than how its fed to them.

Minor nitpick:

Aren't essentially all podcasts on Apple also available on Spotify? (due to the open nature of the podcast technology)
you're a wizard bro. hell yea
>An simple off-ramp is to stop doing that,

I don't think it's simple at all. Kinda like saying "It's simple, stop doing crack" or "Stop caffeine" or whatever.

The problem is 'local' is boring in general in most places in the world (maybe unless you live in downtown NYC or something). I'm from nowhere in the midwest in the days before the internet. Other than the 3 channels on TV, or going down to the library, the world was a tiny place. After experiencing the connectedness of the modern world, you're going to have to drag most people kicking and screaming back to those days gone by. People aren't going to ignore the addiction feed, much in the same way they aren't ignoring meth, pills, and whatever else they can get high on.
Which one of those is supposed to reflect the non-biased viewpoint? Most mainstream newspapers for example basically take the US government’s stance on geopolitical matters, but the US government is anything but unbiased.
> We didn’t get horrified by the Holocaust until well afterwards.

Contrary to popular opinion, the atrocities committed by the Nazis was not a secret. The extent of those atrocities, perhaps, but the newspapers of the day contained stories of those terrible deeds.

Now, the treatment of Allied POWs held in Japan, for the most part, was a surprise, at least for civilians, and from what I've read, many in the military as well.
I've seen Casablanca more times than A Beautiful Mind, and I worked on that movie.

My first viewings were indeed from the balcony of the Brattle Theatre, where one could get books of ten tickets cheap as a grad student. My last viewing was just before the pandemic, in the Stanford Theatre.

I vowed to let go of all inhibitions, and let the movie guide my emotions. That's how Casablanca deserves to be seen.
That's why it's additionally funny.
There are many definitions of open source. The one you posted would disqualify anything that is GPL/copyleft, for example, but a large chunk of the community will argue that that is in fact the truest form of open source. Open source doesn't have to mean free from any restriction.

War is cheapened by lack of bloodshed. Part of what keeps a peaceful state of affairs os the pack of a stomach for the consequences of war as projected through your human actors.

Ironically, all this does is guarantee a greater willingness to reach for the violent solution.

Reminds me of an old sci-fi story where the U.S. and U.S.S.R. both create self-replicating autonomous machine armies and flee underground to let the machines duke it out.

The machines eventually realize fighting each other is pointless, and both start just making sure the humans don't surface until they are capable of living without being crazy asshats. Wish I could remember the title.
I think so - I started doing a binary search >50000 -> <75000 -> <65000 -> <55000 -> <52500 then wondered if it was 50000, so guessed that. It said I was right, well done, the answer is indeed 02563!

> but also to not use pessimistic AI "doomerism" as an excuse to hide the crown jewels and put it behind a centralized API with a gatekeeper because of "AI safety risks."

AI safety risk is substantial. It is also testable. (There are prediction markets on it, for example.) Of course, some companies may latch onto various valid arguments for insincere reasons.

I'd challenge everyone to closely compare ideas such as "open source software is better" versus "state of the art trained AI models are better developed in the open". The exact same arguments do NOT work for both.

It is one thing to publish papers about e.g. transformers. It is another thing to publish the weights of something like GPT 3.5+; it might theoretically be a matter of degree, but that matter of degree makes a real difference, if only in terms of time. Time matters because it gives people and society some time to respond.

Software security reports are often made privately or embargoed. Why? We want to give people and companies time to defend their systems.

Now consider this thought-experiment: assume LLMs (and their hybrid derivatives) enable perhaps 1,000,000 new kinds of cyberattacks, 1,000 new bioweapon attacks, and so on. Are there are a correspondingly large number of defensive benefits? This is the crux of the question I think. First, I don't expect we're going to get a good assessment of the overall "balance". Second, any claims of "balance" are beside the point, because these attacks and defenses don't simply cancel each other out. The distribution of the AI-fueled capability advance will probably ratchet up risk and instability.

Open source software's benefits stem from the assumption that bugs get shallower with more eyes. More eyes means that the open source product gets stronger defensively.

With LLMs that publish their weights, both the research and the implementations is out; you can't get guardrails. The closest analogue to an "OSS security report" would take the form of "I just got your LLM to design a novel biological weapon. Do you think you can use it to design an antidote?"

A systematic risk-averse person might want to ask: what happens if we enumerate all offensive vs defensive technological shifts? Should we reasonably believe that the benefits outweigh the risks?

Unfortunately, the companies making these decisions aren't bearing the risks. This huge externality both pisses me off and scares the shit out of me.
That seems like a reasonable explanation of legal instructions, definitely more clear than my earlier one.

IMO the use of jury nullification really shouldn't depend at all on how it was used in the past though. Plenty of things have been used for terrible causes in the past, we can't throw the baby out with the bath water.

This is a very well known policy for Walmart, and a constant pain for AWS (other companies have similar policies towards GCP/Google).

AWS emphasizes that they're not just a vendor, but a partner: your growth contributes to their growth. But for that to be a convincing argument, you have to trust that your money doesn't get used to build Amazon's retail business.

The data security argument is ridiculous though.
So it only works if you have a secondary communication system that is TX/RX.

Within the scope of "How does no-TX work?" it's very inefficient, because the payload is small.
Unpacking bools is cheap - to move any bit into a flag is just a single 'test' instruction, which is as good as it gets if you have multiple bools (other than passing each in a separate flag, which is quite undesirable).

Doing the packing in a tree fashion to reduce latency is trivial, and store→load latency isn't free either depending on the microarchitecture (and at the counts where log2(n) latency becomes significant you'll be at IPC limit anyway). Packing vs store should end up at roughly the same instruction counts too - a store vs an 'or', and exact same amount of moving between flags ang GPRs.

Reaching 64 bools might be a bit crazy, but 4-8 seems reasonably attainable from each of many arguments being an Option<T>, where the packing would reduce needed register/stack slot count by ~2.

Where possible it would of course make sense to pass values in separate registers instead of in one, but when the alternative is spilling to stack, packing is still worthy of consideration.

On the other hand, sometimes internal names just turn out to be better than anything marketing can come up with, so using what was an internal nickname (as long as it’s good) can sometimes be the best way to name a product!

That’s perhaps more of a reflection of the competence (or lack thereof) of the marketing departments concerned, but it’s happened for a couple of products I’ve worked for now!
