I hope you are not struggling with depression. And if you are, please seek professional help. Random people online won't be able to properly help you.

In terms of avoiding mass surveillance, it's sad but we have to accept it will always be there. People with power will abuse their power. It's always been like that, it will always be like that.

With that taken into account, I think the best course of action is to come up with a personalised, realistic and pragmatic threat model. What do you want to protect? From whom? What are the most probable ways they will get them? How can you avoid it?

Battery technology isn't good enough to power smartphones to be constantly transmitting everything they capture from their microphones to the cloud, or even less to run a constant speech recognition model that can also identify who's talking. So I'd say that unless you are a high priority target, you don't need to worry about meeting someone with a stock Android or iOS phone. Worry about what's on your devices, your network, what you do with them, and about what tools you use to communicate with others.
> Surely I'm not the only one who finds tailwind insanely easy to use

It's a write-only DSL for CSS, easy to write but hard to then read and edit afterwards, which is a problem that you're blaming on a skill issue while it's a problem inherent to Tailwind's philosophy itself. Just use CSS Modules at that point.
Well, yes, they were.
I have no idea what to do about tech security. The holes will seemingly always exist unless we go back to safety critical code.

Its far easier to be a hacker than a programmer of the same economic/political influence. You can take the second or third tier of programmers and they will be able to get you into a system.

My only thought is to only prevent non-anonymous entry, require some real world presence, and have capachas between commands... This doesnt scale.

The trend towards flatting the curve with the preferred decade of music for each generation is cool to see. I had assumed this was happening anecdotally, but it looks like a pretty large effect here.
Yeeeeeup.

And even better, contractors often cost VASTLY MORE than an employee because you've got a shit ton of middle man overhead to cover (their HR, their benefits, their managers, etc).

It's darkly funny how much of modern business management is really just knowing how to get the right numbers in front of the right people. I've worked at far too many places that have someone who ONLY looks at payroll and wants to make sure it doesn't go up too much. "Everything else" isn't their concern, so all those projects get bloated with consultants that just fall under project budgets.
Maybe I missed this in the article but I agree this is a major consideration. I find a lot of people might like "new" music but it's very much a slight riff on stuff they liked a long time ago. As a 30yo, good luck introducing anyone in the 25+ category to new albums that actually experiment into novel sounds and become the music of the current 20yo generation.

It's a little sad too because the internet unlocked so much "bedroom producer" potential from the entire world where before you had to be musically trained or get a lot more lucky. There's actually a talent explosion right now.
The old google's Switch-C transformer [1] had 2048 experts, 1.6T parameters, with only one activated for each layer, so much more sparse. But also severely undertrained as the other models of that era, and thus useless now.

Considering Mac Catalyst? A word of caution (2023)
This rapidly becomes an exercise in classifying music which I always felt a bit silly. Try to put God Is an Astronaut in a genre, I wish you good fortune in the wars to come. https://youtu.be/ZmWYCIZhBgk at one time Wikipedia had them as "Post-rock, electronica, ambient, Space rock" then just gave up and labelled them as post-rock.

My brother and I, less than two years apart in age, when we were 18 years old listened to the same music, power metal, mostly. By now, some three decades later he have veered off in a direction of high BPM while I am deep in folk metal land sometimes leaving metal behind. Where does folk metal end and where does (neo)folk rock start? I do not know and I couldn't care less if I tried. I simply enjoy https://youtu.be/mQWmryiIcxY a lot without trying to label it.

From the article:

“But 'American Idiot' wasn't a true act of revolution. In fact, the album was produced and promoted by a multinational conglomerate with the intent of packaging seemingly transgressive pop-punk acts for my exact demographic.”

This is sort of beside the point of the article, but I was just reading an interview[1] with Billie Joe Armstrong about this album and it doesn’t sound like their process was anywhere as cynical as this take.

On another note, I find Elton John’s Rocket Hour on Apple Music to be refreshing in terms of how earnestly he approaches new music and new artists. If you haven’t heard it, it’s nothing like what you might expect based on the title. It’s not “Elton plays songs from his back catalog and talks about them,” but rather “Elton plays new songs you haven’t heard by artists you haven’t heard of yet, and interviews them as his peers.”

Honestly, I'd love for Tesla to be civilly liable here, and not the driver. That aligns incentives correctly. Without that, there is every incentive to market "full self-driving," while investing in a system with the intelligence of a trained parrot.

As much as it's absolutely the driver's fault, it's also an inevitable accident.

Wrongful death is about $500k-$1M (but should be higher). Tesla market cap is $500B. Damages for O(one million people) are equal to Tesla's market cap, so this is not even bad for business; it's simply factoring in externalities into the cost of doing business.

A good split might be criminal system for the driver (which ranges from fines to prison time, and is designed to be punitive), and civil system for Tesla (which is only financial, but designed to cover the financial cost of the death to the family).
Which isn't going to happen, because you want to amortize these cards over 24 hours per day, not just when the renewables are shining or blowing.
These aren't street cops, this is South Korea's national police agency, not unlike the FBI. They have the expertise and resources to investigate internet crimes, and an 8 billion dollar budget. And they also sometimes work with international partners.
FSD == Fool Self Driving
Historically these kinds of assertions have been quite misleading. If FSD is mostly used on highways and other "low complexity" environments and then you compare that to human collision rates in all environments, of course FSD will be "safer". Especially if you're measuring collisions/mile vs collisions/hour. Then there are other confounding factors like how Teslas are:

* Generally newer than average.

* Generally owned by more affluent drivers than average.

* Probably used predominantly in urban areas instead of rural ones (to be clear this might unfairly tilt the stats against Tesla thanks to the highway thing).

I'm not sure I've seen a good "apples to apples" comparison on this that corrects for these confounding factors.
There are a number of famous english speaking authors that have done pretty good work around it.

This is a fantastic interview with Padgett Powell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padgett_Powell), a writer of the Southern tradition. IMO, the two things that make it great ar how candid and fluid Powell's answers are and the hilariously Newspeak of the interviewer's questions.

Powell was Don Barthelme's student, his analysis of Barthelme's main thrust here is worth the read alone. If you want to dig deeper on this point, here's another interview with him: https://www.vice.com/en/article/vdxyd8/padgett-powell-is-ame...

Flann O'Brian, mentioned briefly by Powell is an interesting character, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flann_O'Brien.
Education is a supreme public good. Privately-run charter schools do nothing more than siphon money away from state-run schools. Competition does exist in the public education sector. To wit: magnet schools.

Even if privately-run charters issue a certain number of needs-based scholarships or give preference to minorities or lower-income students by reserving a certain number of slots in a lottery-based system, these private charters will over time return us to a world where by and large only the economically privileged are educated.
This seems technically very impressive, but it does occur to my more pragmatic side that I probably haven't seen videos as blurry as the inputs for ~ 10 years. I'm sure I'm unaware of important use cases, but I didn't realize video resolution was a thing we needed to solve for these days (at least inference for perceptive quality).

> Tesla shares responsibility for marketing something deceptively that can cause serious incidents

The driver is criminally liable to the estate of the young man he killed. Tesla may be liable for money damages to the driver they misled. (Maybe the estate also has a civil claim on Tesla if they can show its marketing was grossly negligent.)
Was it an accident though? Seems like they were targeting the same style of art so of course some would become valid input
Has potential. Get rid of the AI art, grab whatever the most popular image is, not everything needs and image. Better visibility for the category tags. Don't do a feed down the middle of an empty screen, make it a dashboard for people not using phones.

> I think it's easy to sit and judge someone as being "uncultured" because they listen to music that was popular when they were a teenager, but fundamentally it's not like they're hurting anyone.

I think the antagonism usually goes in the other way. Most people get crystallized music tastes pretty soon into their life and the second the new generation comes up with something different, it's all "music is crap these days, silly kids, back in my day the 90s had the best music." There are several examples in this thread without a hint of the irony of this article.
This is not a negative thing.

> [..] "VIP service" [...] it costs quite a bit.

Something like P/S[0] in LAX I presume. It's approximately the cost of an international business class seat. So yes it's expensive but not unaffordably so for working professionals. I've used it for international inbound a few times: being able to clear customs and immigration in ~5 minutes (!!) is almost worth the premium.

When I fly inbound I avoid LAX whenever possible. However, I've been told that Global Entry is now fairly streamlined, so perhaps I'll give that a try next time.

Independent of the incident itself, the article made it sound like the driver would have benefited from hiring a lawyer before making statements to police.
Sorry, it sounds like you know a lot more than I do about this, and I'd appreciate it if you'd connect the dots. Is your comment a dig at either Snowflake or Llama? Where are you finding the unquantized size of Llama 3 70B? Isn't it extremely rare to do inference with large unquantized models?
What if "Autopilot"/"FSD"/computer-assisted driving hallucinates and drivers using it run over children but at a lower rate than people who are not using computer-assisted driving run over children?

If progress for automobiles is that it has to be perfect (and not just better) then the only answer is to use automobiles less or have stricter training standards for drivers.

I do think there needs to be strong proof that it is better to avoid liability. And I agree Tesla's marketing is bad and should make Tesla liable.

From what I've seen, a lot of API developers find that openapi-generator flat-out breaks or produces broken code for their OpenAPI spec (varies language-to-language of course).

Beyond hitting the "it just works" mark more often, some other key differentiators:

1. much easier to configure & customize

2. auto-retry with exponential backoff (this is huge for our customers)

3. auto-pagination

4. overall ergonomics of using the SDK

5. internals that look handwritten (some people care, others don't)

6. one-click releases to github & package managers w/ semver, changelogs, etc

7. careful handling of edge cases (eg, will adding a new enum variant cause your Java client to crash?)

8. a long tail of more advanced features, like webhook signature verification, streaming, etc

You're so right. Thanks for this perspective
> If AI model training follows a similar curve, then it's reasonable to be concerned.

Yes, but one can at least still imagine scenarios where AI training being 0.5% of electricity use could still be a net win.

(I hope we're more efficient than that; but if we're training models that end up helping a little with humanity's great problems, using 1/200th of our electricity for it could be worth it).
Journalists normally report the charge as written in court documents. Washington state appears to have "vehicular homicide" defined as a specific offense, but not "vehicular manslaughter". It would not be more precise to report an incorrect name for the charged offense.
> If the LLMs had said something to the effect of "I don't know, I wasn't trained to answer <question type> about <question topic>" ...

This is so very much the answer I want from an LLM every single time it's not reasonably certain about an answer to a query. Not "hallucinate" a plausible sounding answer and then confidently spew lies at me as if it's gospel truth.

I can accept "I don't know" from a human just fine, so I can damn sure accept it from a machine made by humans; but I'm far less tolerant of lies from a machine than I am from humans. Humans will lie for a great many reasons, a fair few of which are easily enough forgivable / understandable. A machine will generally "lie" for only a comparatively very few possible reasons (a physical flaw or defect in the machine; faulty data, be it purposeful or accidental; a human designed it to be untruthful, etc.), most of which are just plain largely unacceptable on multiple levels.

Even better than "I don't know" would be my fifth grade teacher's favorite answer ("way back in ye golden olden days") in situations where he didn't know the answer: "I don't know, but let's find out together." and then the research would proceed apace. An LLM should be capable of such quite easily one would think. They make great "research assistants" when trained on a relevant data set and guided properly with a well crafted system prompt, and they're centered around / trained upon human language so should be able to guide a human to available resources with pretty near zero hassle. :)

People have definitely tried this kind of thing, but so far -- from what I've seen -- Game of Life problems seem to be highly resistant to neural-net types of solutions.

Take spaceships, for example. You can train a neural net to recognize spaceships, but there aren't any reliably recognizable features that can distinguish a spaceship from a non-spaceship. To find out if a never-before-seen pattern is a spaceship with period N, you really have to run it for N ticks and see if you get the same pattern back again at an offset. Visual similarity with other spaceships just plain isn't relevant, unless the similarity is 100%; a pattern with a 99% match on a 100-cell spaceship will almost always be ... not a spaceship at all.

A good analogy for this might be training a neural net against images of prime numbers up to 997, printed in decimal in some standard font. Sure, you can train a neural net to recognize prime numbers less than 1000, with great accuracy ... but primality isn't a visual property of a printed number, it's something that you have to do some mathematical tests to find out about.

So if you try your trained neural net on prime numbers above 1000, you're going to be rather disappointed with its performance. CA spaceship recognition is the same kind of problem... possibly worse, since you could at least have some hope of a neural net correctly recognizing non-primes by their last digits.

Do you agree that without "autopilot" this incident would not have happened?
Thanks! Yes definitely, I think it's a great fit for anything self-contained and limited scope that doesn't need a lot of code. I've certainly found having an easy way to run a single file using Django's ORM is pretty handy.

Regarding API serving, I'm planning on making it easier to use third party apps; the main obstacle is registering `includes` urls, which is doable at the moment but involves manually appending a path to `nanodjango.urls.urlpatterns`. I want to expand route registration to give a nicer internal api, then once that's in place Django Ninja should work pretty much out of the box - the only different should be how you register the url.
I am aware of the existence of that work, but was never able to find any details about it.
> Is the IDE a primary input for building the program? Is the IDE a build dependency?

No, the same way training is not a build dependency for the weights source code. You can literally compile and run them without any training data.
