There's so many ideas about what TikTok's purpose is. By "psyop" I mean, if the purpose of TikTok is to influence the general mindset of the American populaton, then they'd throw a big tantrum and rile people up.

As you say, another possible purpose is that TikTok is used as a source of data and intel. I suppose it is a fine source for that, but also, if that's all China really wants, they can probably just buy most of that data on the shadowy data markets. The US Government shows no signs of stopping our personal data from being sold.

That is what the article said, thank you for clarifying. This comment led me to read the article and try to find the data behind the study. Mainly I looked for this because the article doesn't say how this 8% compares on a normalized basis to other settings, but does make the claim that it provides evidence/proof that

> This [8%] finding challenges the “set and setting” hypothesis of psychedelics.

Edit 3: This claim was made by the article on nautil.us but was not made by the study, and indeed the Discussion in the study seems to be axiomatically accepting of the "set and setting hypothesis", and indeed the authors actually pull out quite a few statistics from previous studies which can only be viewed as supporting the "set and setting hypothesis". Some of those cited studies, such as Simonsson [1] would likely also be worth reviewing for anyone who finds interest in this one. I provided a link to Simonsson as it seems most directly relevant at first glance and I don't have time right now to review the other studies quoted, but the other studies cited shouldn't be overlooked by curious minds - they all seem quite relevant in their own way.

I've been unable to find a resource with more numbers, or ideally the underlying dataset itself to analyze on my own. If you or anyone else know where I can find more numbers from the n=(about 608) survey, I'd greatly appreciate a pointer to it.

Edit: Found the study[0]

Edit 2: The study does not have enough granular data for me to perform my own quantitative analysis. Of note though, 5.3% of participants took it in a clinical setting, but 8% of the people who "suffered afterward" had taken it in a clinical setting. This is elevated compared to what it would be with a uniform distribution but the study itself also says:

> "Experiencing a greater range of difficulties was predicted by being in an unguided setting at the time of the trip and having a more challenging trip. Duration of difficulties was predicted by the challengingness of the trip but no other factors emerged as significant. "

Taking this at face value, it would seem that an unguided setting is more strongly correlated to a "challenging trip" than a therapeutic setting. And "challenging trip" was shown to be the greatest, and one of the only, predictors of post-trip difficulties:

> To test this, linear regression analyses were conducted, firstly with range of difficulties as the DV and secondly with duration of difficulties as the DV. The overall regression model for the prediction of range of duration was significant (R2 = .04, F(4,519) = 4.97, p < .001). In terms of individual predictors, two emerged as significant; the challengingness of the trip (β = .17, p<0.001) and being in an unguided setting (β = .11, p = 0.008).

"How is it an attack? What would be a more accurate descriptor for someone who appears to subscribe to the idea of an oppressed class and an oppressor class?"

Nobody talked about that or said that they just asked to replicate the model in more industries, and seeing the sorry state of many products, that seems wise.

In my entire career, I've yet to encounter a virus as deleterious in its effect than some of the antivirus software I've seen (Though, having had minimal Windows experience may contribute to this experience).

I've spent literally hours explaining to my users that no, my software was not distributed with a virus; one popular anti virus program had a false positive flagging it as such.

Break into chunks that overlap by, say, a second, upscale separately and then blend to reduce sudden transitions in the generated details to gradual morphing.

The details changing every ten seconds or so is actually a good thing; the viewer is reminded that what they are seeing is not real, yet still enjoying a high resolution video full of high frequency content that their eyes crave.

Frame-rate upscaling is fine for video, but for animation it's awful.

My understanding is that currently several letters are grouped together into tokens for efficiency reasons. For instance, (The) might be a token, as might (cast) and (ing), so an LLM might read "The casting" as "(The)( )(cast)(ing)". Thus it would be quite difficult for such an LLM to answer how often the letter t appears in that sentence unless part of the training text indicated how often t was present in each of its tokens. However, if we didn't care about efficiency, we could make each letter its own token. In this case it would be pretty easy for the LLM to reason about how often t appeared in the sentence.

TikTok isn't violating any US laws. If the US outlawed 'spreading disinformation to polarize politics' they'd have to ban youtube/facebook/twitter/reddit too. Do you think we should block all websites in China and Russia? Should we block their IP space entirely? We used to say that censoring the internet was something that only happened in Evil countries like China. We'd poke fun at their Great Firewall, but to preserve our own hypocrisy the US has decided to join in on the internet censorship game. Now congress is telling you what software you're allowed to install on your own hardware.

I think it's better to have freedom. As an American I should be able to view any media from any country I like as long as that media doesn't violate US law. Americans should have the freedom to use any software written in any country they like. In this case, we lost freedom to censorship and Democracy did nothing to stop it.

> societally-harmful content

Who decides what is "societally-harmful content"? Isn't literally rewriting history "societally-harmful"? The black T.J. was a fun meme, but that's not what the alignment's "unintended effects" were limited to. I'd also say that if your LLM condemns right-wing mass murderers, but "it's complicated" with the left-wing mass murderers (I'm not going to list a dozen of other examples here, these things are documented and easy to find online if you care), there's something wrong with your LLM. Genocide is genocide.

Nice work. You briefly mentioned curl noise... About 10 years ago I wrote gaseous-giganticus[1] which uses curl noise to create gas-giant planet textures. They don't move, like yours, but don't look too bad (and looking at Jupiter, you can't really see that move over small time scales anyway.) Some animation is possible[2] with gaseous-giganticus, but not in real time, as it's all done on the CPU, and it doesn't really sustain over time, as it starts off looking very fuzzy, resolves into something pretty nice, then gets weird. Here is some more output from early days: https://imgur.com/a/9LipP

I do not think this is the same thing. The links I posted were about the Deuce text editor for the Dylan programming language, which was implemented using DUIM, the Dylan successor to CLIM (itself a successor to Dynamic Windows). The links above seem to be for a different editor that just happens to also be named Deuce. Perhaps it was inspired by the other Deuce, but since none of the citations make mention of it I think the name is just a coincidence.

Edit: in the course of revisiting the links I posted, I found the expansion of the acronym Deuce: Dylan Environment Universal Code Editor. I didn't find confirmation that it was implemented in DUIM (successor to CLIM, successor to Dynamic Windows which I believe ZWEI used), but I am pretty sure that is so.

> Large scale hacking of US companies

This is a solid point. What most people don't get is that despite the enormous investment the CIA, NSA, and DoD Sigint have made into their offensive security teams, most of their budget is dedicated to Friday team-building activities, Bowling Nights, and Foosball tables. The US definitely does not hack anybody.

"Everyone but FVEY are the super evil hackerz" is a childish, head-in-the-sand position to hold in the modern geopolitical climate. Everyone is hacking everyone, and China is not some sort of unique Bad Guy in this regard.

This reminds me of a problem that I wanted to solve in the future, but I don’t have the expertise.

The problem is when an organization has a single account on an external service which needs to be used by several people, and the organization wants to safely manage the access to the shared account on the external service, adding accountability: who was using the account at X time?

Users of the shared external account should not know the credentials of the account, so rotation of passwords when employees leave/change roles is not as necessary.

I thought of something like a proxy which could use a Selenium (or something else) script for each of the external website, which would handle the login/authentication flow for the external service.If this was a business, those scripts could be offered as a per-website/month package. An administrator would create the automatic flow for a specific service, and save the username and password somewhere in the script. Normal users of the external service’s singular account would then use the proxy using their individual credentials, to add accountability to accessing the external service.

Maybe someone in this realm could come up with something and market it.
"Deployment speed" is mentioned there. Many devs forgot (or never knew in the first place) that local development used to be the default and that the waiting time in the cycle "write code, run it, find a problem, write code" should be measured in seconds, not tens of minutes or hours (as is usually the case when devs don't have a local environment), or even days.

This is another (from a long list) hidden cost of complicated "webscale" architectures (not just serverless, but often the case for the plain microservice architecture).
Yeah, and usually GPU RAM, unless you enjoy waiting for a minute for filling the context :(
I've had this kind of windows performance too. It stopped with a newer GPU at the time.

Before I got a new GPU the only solution I found was too turn off hardware acceleration on the video player.

This feels misguided to focus on Covid. Political discourse has turned poisonous regardless of topic. Indeed, the discourse has become an endgame for all topics, it seems. Poisoning far too many things.

Worker co-ops are employee-owned companies, but not all employee owned companies are co-ops.

The point that I was highlighting was that it comes down to the Articles of Incorporation and how ownership is managed on an ongoing basis. What happens when someone retires or you hire someone new.

If I were to retire and simply give my company to my 10 employees, Nothing would stop them from hiring new employees and not sharing ownership, leaving the company and keeping ownership, or selling their ownership to a third party.

Yup. CCW permit holders are considerably less likely to be convicted of felonies than the average person--and a good portion of the crimes they "commit" are improper carry. Either letting it show or carrying where they weren't supposed to (which isn't always obvious. Some states you can't carry in any business that sells alcohol--but when alcohol is a small part of their product line you might not know.)

Fundamentally, if you made it to 21 without messing up badly enough to be denied CCW you're probably not going to be a bad guy later.

>I think the 4x/8x expansion (16x/64x the pixels!) is pushing the tech too far. I bet it would look great at <2x.

I believe this applies to every upscale model released in the past 8 years, yet undeterred by this scientists keep pushing on, sometimes even claiming 16x upscaling. Though this might be the first one that is pretty close to holding up at 4x in my opinion, which is not something I've seen often.
Disclaimer: We're an early adopter of Stainless at Mux.

I've spent more of my time than I'd like to admit managing both OpenAPi spec files [1] and fighting with openapi-generator [2] than any sane person should have to. While it's great having the freedom to change the templates an thus generated SDKs you get with using that sort of approach, it's also super time consuming, and when you have a lot of SDKs (we have 6 generated SDKs), in my experience it needs someone devoted to managing the process, staying up with template changes etc.

Excited to see more SDK languages come to Stainless!
