I think an important difference is that when you shuffle them, the unfairness stops being correlated across multiple assignments, so the "aggregate" unfairness over the course of the semester is much lower.

That's unfortunately not true. The better funded company has an advantage because they can get ahead in GTM. The further ahead they get, the harder it will be to catch up. If you find yourself in this situation and they offer you a merger, strongly consider it.
I try to explain to folks the difference between GPT-4 and other models, but it's hard to quantify the qualitative results. Are there any good benchmarks that illustrate the difference with real examples?

I think it's really about some of our biological processes which helps keep us alive. I mean, our brains are hardwired to try and keep us alive. Seeking out old information you already know is not beneficial to improving your survival. New, particularly beneficial information can be. Thus, in order to help us survive, our brains evolved a reward system to motivate us to seek new information... to learn essentially. In other words, our brains motivate us to learn, as learning helps us to survive. Thus, novelty = fun and repetition = boring.

But the brain is obviously imperfect. Games and many addicting things in modern life, can hijack and play on this particular process (even harmful things).

To make things a bit weirder in the Rust land, whilst async programming is the first class citizen, the standard library (i.e. async_std) is rather limited or at least seems like it to an untrained beginner’s eyes like my own.

This highlights one of the troubling things about naming your project "async_std" while not having any participation from or endorsement by the people who actually work on Rust's standard library. async_std is a community project, as unofficial as any other random crate.

I don't know whether its creators predicted it was prone to this kind of misunderstanding, but IMO they don't take enough measures to disambiguate this in the project docs & repo. To viewers who don't know better or dig deeper, async_std has an unearned, false sense of legitimacy by its name alone. Some newcomers like the article's author think the crate is fairly literally "std, but async". Not so. It's just a few devs doing their own thing. Inspired-by.

IMO async_std (and smol) are non-starters since ~2022 and nearly dead with regards to repo activity, and anyone starting net-new async Rust work should be deciding between tokio or embassy.

> Unfairness and bias is a critical factor in driving people to extraordinary achievements.

The evidence is a strong negative correlation between bias and achievement: Extraordinary achievements so disproportionately achieved by people in groups that are not the target of bias. Look at top government officials, SV leaders, Nobel Prize winners, etc etc - mostly white males.

The biggest targets of bias in the US, for example - probably women and black people - genrerally get the worst results (in areas where there is discrimination). By contrast, as an example wherever black people aren't subject to bias, such as certain forms of music and certain sports, achievement is extraordinary. Imagine all that talent and drive in other fields.
To me, pivot feels like YC saying: hey, we thought you were above the cut, that's why you're here. We know the low likelihood of an idea exploding, let's just get you focusing on other promising blocks as soon as we hit bedrock.

I'm assuming this isn't terribly uncommon, considering the hitrate and actual sunk cost.

I see the author's viewpoint from a milder formula: learn, earn, or quit. YC seems to be a perfectly fine place to learn a certain kind of methodology. It can be difficult to balance the value flow, especially when goodwill is involved, but there aren't many places that will give you half a mill and a chance at a dream.
It's also based on open and freely accessible data: Sentinel2.

To resolve ambiguities due to the fact that in C, type names live in a separate namespace from variable names so that it's possible to have a variable with the same name as a type.

C++ inherits this distinction so that it is possible to write the following:

struct foo { int x; };

struct bar : foo { ::foo foo; };

bar b;

b.foo::x = 1;

b.foo.x = 2;

The b.foo::x and b.foo.x are two different x's, and the only way to disambiguate them is through the use of the . or the ::

This link says rent inflation decreased, which just means inflation was lower. This is also just a graph and some numbers, so I'm not really sure why you linked it. It doesn't explain anything by itself.

Ah yes - I remember reading his article about the origins of StarCraft way-back-when - when StarCraft was still a low-effort "Orcs in space" re-skin of Warcraft 2, but they went to E3 or CES and got spooked by Ion Storm's demo of their visually impressive, isometric, RTS game - and reinvented SC - released SC - and the rest is history - while it turned out Ion Storm's demo was a prerendered video fake. That's a story right there.

No one cared about it until TikTok got really popular around 2018, then it’s been in out of the news ever since. I doubt also TikTok is manipulating anyone, simply because the content is mostly apolitical and simply guys or girls teasing or doing some trend dance.

There’s a tension between the common belief that

“when private citizens are able to vote privately, it protects their ability to vote their conscience, rather than allowing some third party to explicitly buy votes or bully someone into voting in line with someone else”,

and the belief that somehow this doesn’t apply to congress members.

Additionally, on hard philosophical and policy qurstions, some bits of negotiation and dealmaking are bare-knuckled “the sausage gets made” affairs that are brutally hard on the ego and participants. Part of why nothing can get through Congress anymore in a timely fashion and without continual brinksmanship on important funding or to prevent shutdowns is because even if crossing party lines would very often be in the public’s interest, and to the public’s net benefit, haggling to make it happen or voting to make it so often doesn’t stand up to the scrutiny of thousands of watchful eyes where an important deal may hinge on brutal haggling which the public couldn’t stomach seeing the intermediate steps and votes of.

One such example in practical terms: if the constitutional convention which replaced the articles of confederation took place in the internet age with modern real-time, to the minute reporting on how everyone was voting on every intermediate plan and how any compromise made was a betrayal of “party lines” on an issue, America as a country probably wouldn’t exist today.

Transparency has its own benefits, but it’s not without costs - you make a legislative body’s job more difficult, you get corresponding gridlock to match.

A valid point - you can't match Microsoft's resources and in-house expertise.

But you are probably a much less appealing target. Also, you might be willing to lock it down more than Microsoft, which has to please all those millions of customers and wants to admin it at the lowest cost possible - including possibly minimizing support calls by using permissive settings - and not with the most security possible.

> For example, The Associated Press reported that an official Meta AI chatbot inserted itself into a conversation in a private Facebook group for Manhattan moms. It claimed it too had a child in school in New York City, but when confronted by the group members, it later apologized before its comments disappeared, according to screenshots shown to The Associated Press.

Can anyone find an article with these screenshots? The part about the comments just disappearing seems especially hard to believe.
All these attention traps aren’t the only cause but they don’t help. They suck up a lot of time and time is precious.

At the very least once people get into them it makes it less likely that they will do… anything else.

Some of the stories I hear about younger peoples’ addiction to Instagram and TikTok are incredible. We’re talking many hours per day.

It’s easily worse than TV especially since the latter is frequently a social experience. People like to watch shows together. Social media, ironically, is usually consumed alone, making it possibly less social than TV.

Minecraft Randar exploit explanation
The term 1day is not uncommon, not only among exploit vendors on either side of the law (in other words, selling to crime groups or selling to governments) but also among the general threat intelligence and broader cybersecurity community. It doesn’t stand out as strange at all, really. However, I don’t believe their particular definition aligns with the typical/colloquial usage of the term. It’s usually used in the more direct sense, i.e. a very new vulnerability that is unlikely to have been broadly patched.

As far as the term 0day, I don’t think there’s much debate or contrarian opinions to be had. The only room for argument I see is between defining it as an unreleased vulnerability unknown to the vendor versus a vulnerability known to the vendor but not yet patched, basically what this article defines a 1day as.

Either way, it comes down to nitpicking nuances of definitions of commonly-used terms. I don’t think there’s much meaningful discussion to be had.

Exchange Online isn't going anywhere and I doubt deprecating EWS is going to matter because where are those customers going to go?

moderators deleting spam is hard to believe?
For argument's sake, I'll agree.

Now, this information is taught at a higher level and to a much greater depth in colleges. And they don't just teach you about the dangerous stuff, they even give you direct access to the laboratories and chemicals! Thus, any chemical engineer would have the education, expertise, and placement to access a municipal water supply to poison a city, if they so chose.

In the spirit of maximizing harm reduction, what should colleges do to ensure that no one who attends becomes capable of harming others?

>But what this simple experiment demonstrates is that Llama 3 basically can't stop itself from spouting inane and abhorrent text if induced to do so. It lacks the ability to self-reflect, to analyze what it has said as it is saying it.

>That seems like a pretty big issue.

I would argue that LLMs are artificially _intelligent_ - this seems an easier argument than trying to explain how I am quite clearly less intelligent than something with no intelligence at all, both from a logical and an self esteem-preservation standpoint. But nobody (to my knowledge) thinks these things are "conscious", and this seems fairly uncontroversial after spending a few hours with one.

Or is the subtext that these things should be designed with some kind of reflexivity, to give it some form of consciousness as a "safety" feature? AI could generate the ominous music that plays during this scene in The Terminator prequel.

I’m thinking further down the line. If Google ends up with 99% market share, and then the government has to come in to end the monopoly, what will that intervention look like? Some of this was seen a couple decades ago with Microsoft in Europe.

With no market share left, will other companies/organizations give up on maintaining their own browser engine? Microsoft has already given up, so has Opera. Will we even have the possibility of choice?

Why does Apple need to take down their walls for people to move to Android? Most people use Apple products because of the walled garden, not in spite of it. I really don’t think the walls are that high, not much higher than any other platform switch someone might do.
I’m pretty sure the memory/storage resources and performance available on Sun machines had something to do with it also. Since this is pre-Sparc, they would have been running the same CPU architecture (Motorola 68k).
I'm pretty sure it's far easier to audit people downloading LLMs capable of providing such coherent instructions than it is to audit all uses of search that could produce the same instructions (esp. since the query could be very oblique).

In any case, just based on the experience with LLMs so far, you cannot meaningfully censor them in this way without restricting access to the weights. Any kind of "guardrails" are finetuned into them, and can just as easily be finetuned out.
