Firstly, I'll say that it's always exciting to see more weight-available models.

However, I don't particularly like that benchmark table. I saw the HumanEval score for Llama 3 70B and immediately said "nope, that's not right". It claims Llama 3 70B scored only 45.7. Llama 3 70B Instruct[0] scored 81.7, not even in the same ballpark.

It turns out that the Qwen team didn't benchmark the chat/instruct versions of the model on virtually any of the benchmarks. Why did they only do those benchmarks for the base models?

It makes it very hard to draw any useful conclusions from this release, since most people would be using the chat-tuned model for the things those base model benchmarks are measuring.

My previous experience with Qwen releases is that the models also have a habit of randomly switching to Chinese for a few words. I wonder if this model is better at responding to English questions with an English response? Maybe we need a benchmark for how well an LLM sticks to responding in the same language as the question, across a range of different languages.

Complaints about complaints make sense!
IF you want to make it high-quality, there is a technic called photogrammetry. You need to take hundreds of photos under same light, without shadow or reflection. Then you create the 3D model of the facade using photogrammetry software like metashape or realitycapture. After you have the 3D model, you need to transfer 3D data to 2D texture. It's called baking. After baking is done you endup with basecolor(diffuse/color), height(displacement), normal and ao(ambient occlusion) maps.

If you are looking for a basic way, just take one clean photo(without visible shadows or reflections) There is method called Bitmap to material. Basically, you grayscale your image and using that grayscale data to create other maps like bump, roughness height etc. If you've experience in that area you can make them in Photoshop. Adobe Substance Sample(Substance Alchemist) has great abilities to generate using that method + AI.

To clear reflections you need circular polarization filters. You can also use cross-polarization method to clear all unwanted reflections. But It require addinational light source and linear polarization filter.
At least on Bitwarden you can just edit the domain if that comes up a lot for you (or even add multiple domains to a password). I'd rather do that than copy/paste on a regular basis. Honestly I can't say I ever copy/paste.
Eelco (alongside his co-founder) is Determinate Systems, and their active refusal to answer if they are involved in the military contract likely means they are.

> The most propagated (related) text on the internet will likely be repurposed in its own words to answer anything that you ask. Essentially, that means it might give you a mashed answer as you would get from the X first results on Google, but it will fill in contextual gaps from other places and make it more applicable to your specific input.

That's pretty much the way that most of the articles have been being written by humans for the last couple decades, no?
This has always been my objection to them, as a user, as they have been presented. As an employee, I don't care. Businesses have sufficient relationships and mechanisms to self-serve any issues that come up, like lost keys. But as a user, I do not. It is a drop-dead requirement for me for any authentication material that I have some way of backing it up and modifying it in case of compromise.

Besides, give the Silicon Valley venture capitalists and Harvard MBA bros a whiff of the possibility of full control over something as important as your primary authentication material and before you can whisper Richard Stallman they're out having a happy Bacchanalia toasting the name of Portunus [1], whom I will now resurrect out of our ancient past to name him the God of Platform Lockin, and us users aren't going to get a word in edgewise over the debauchery and slides projecting Total Addressable Markets.

Fortunately it seems they all got a little too drunk with power this time, but honestly it's only a matter of time before they arrange another Portunus summoning lock-in party again. This target is irresistible and the annoyance people have with passwords is too good an angle to pass up.

None of these blogposts (including this one) have any realistic solution to the problem of making OSS software and being able to live from it

In other words --- developers can not live from Open Source alone.

If all software was Open Source, there would likely be a lot fewer developers. And those that remain would be spending a lot more time and effort on survival and less time creating software.

Open Source is inherently self limiting and unsustainable. It is a utopian concept that defies the basic economic reality we are all forced to contend with.

And the really crazy part --- even the least educated manual laborer can immediately grasp that giving his work away for free invites exploitation. It may be noble and good for somebody --- but ultimately not for himself or others like him.

What makes these sources not credible in your mind? I have not observed them reporting anything incorrectly. They are citing military experts who know the technical capabilities of these weapons and defense systems. If you want to refute what they say, show how a slower Patriot missile could target and intercept a much faster mach 5 missile. It is basic physics without getting deeply into rocket science.

Qwen is from Alibaba, whose revenue is practically on par with Facebook's. They're equally equipped to keep doing the same thing that Facebook is doing.

Qwen has always out-performed other equivalent/contemporary models on Chinese-language tasks, so it wouldn't surprise me if it continued to do so vs LLaMa 3.
Two of your three points don't apply to Moxie's and some other implementations, for example Singe Packet Authentication. You can have sufficient bits, and it doesn't have to be cleartext. Maybe it's technically not port knocking anymore, but it's the same idea.

And it's not about adding more bits to your authentication, it's about vulnerabilities that can be exploited without authentication, like the recent xz backdoor debacle. Port knocking would defend against that, longer keys would not.

This has all been pointed out to you in the thread you linked.
You know what a key source of protein is in chicken feed?

Crab/fish meal. Which is to say leftovers after processing, dried and ground. https://www.feedipedia.org/node/664

At the end of the day, non-pasture food animal raising boils down to getting enough nutrients and time into them to hit your target slaughter weight, subject to feed conversion ratio for the species.

Cheaper nutrients = higher margins or lower product prices

So there's a lot of repurposing of sanitized animal byproducts. At the end of the day, as Cyberpunk 2020 quipped, "Parts is parts. Dead is dead. Dead guys is parts."

Anyone who's not comfortable with that should either go vegetarian or raise / buy into local meat.

Dude, I know what an integrated GPU is (and it's certainly not "GPU in your CPU").

You're not smarter than everyone else for having a laptop with a dedicated GPU and running Linux on it. You haven't found a magical loophole in the laptop market by not buying Apple. You're just prioritizing different stuff than Apple users.
Yes. The concern is more that this is a sign of high levels of spread amongst cows that might put it at risk of crossover into other animals like pigs, or into humans, where it seems to be quite nasty.
I agree. I'm not sure if it's a fair representation of Margaret Maconald's view or not, but it's definitely inadequate. Philosophy has always been considered a "science" in the old sense of a discipline that allows you to actually know something. If it doesn't do that, then you might as well just turn to poetry and literature, because philosophy won't offer anything new.

However I think it is worth recognizing that what the modern scientific form of verification is pretty new (falsifiability requirements, data sets, hypothesis, experiments, and so on), and doesn't have a monopoly. It's just so commonly accepted nowadays that it feels that way. But there are other methods of verification that work well in philosophy: consistency, finding agreement from other reasonable people, clarity, etc.
No pricing page, "© 2023 Airbook, Inc.", close the tab.
Your solution seems to just incorporate OSS and at some point it just isn't OSS anymore. The problem was not the developer of xz, it is the people that build upon it without reflection. Although to be fair, almost every developer has a dependency like that somewhere.

I find it funny that people call to support the developer. That is true, but the scam was exactly about how the dev was pressured to hire more maintainers. The lesson here should be that if third party is nagging you about your open source project, you just hint them on the "no warranty" part. Everything else is their problem.

I wish the developer would swim in money. He did more constructive work than many, many very rich people. Problem still is that there is no entity that could be trusted to pay him. If that would be corporation, the pressure would be even higher. Because then you are essentially a freelancing developer with a corporate contract. You lose freedom and independence, something many OSS developers specifically do not want.

The Instagram link is not the real author, it's just some random person with the same name.

I'd rather not share more about this person's pattern, but I've sent it to Dan and Substack. If you look closely at the links I pasted in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40164077 (and profiles), you'll spot most of it. I'm sure they'll get better next time, though.

This is all but impossible to detect unless there's some pattern/tell. That's why I say to be somewhat skeptical of Substack URLs for now, unless you know the person giving it to you (or are otherwise sure the blog wasn't deleted). The real solution is for Substack to not allow people to re-publish on URLs already used by other accounts, so you and I don't need to try to figure this out on a case-by-case basis - in general, that's not possible.

AI models can and do create their own experience, trillions of tokens per month of LLM output with human feedback, it scales a lot.

Besides what they learn from humans in chat rooms, they got feedback from code execution, search and other tools.

In general AI models embedded in larger systems can have feedback from outside. It is on policy data, like human advice.

Bunching several concerns together and calling everyone who cares about them the 2024 equivalent of "blue-haired SJW" with some extra transphobia sprinkled in is the opposite of intellectual curiosity.

You could've just not commented.
Was just going to comment something similar down here. Funding FOSS is good, but someone could say that 'giving donations' in crypto to a project that doesn't take crypto donations, and then making them make a crypto wallet to claim the funds, seems just like a convenient way to grow a crypto network. Depending on the conduct afterwards, that could work like any sort of financial scheme common in the space. Hard to know beforehand.

Interesting question! I think if I were a journalist, by nature I would be looking for positive optimistic stories on my beat, because that's legitimately what I find more interesting in the world. (I kind of think of it like entropy; the default is for things to be hard and to work out poorly, so I think it's more interesting when that doesn't happen.)

But I think if that were really my job, rather than just a passion project, I would be subject to the same financial incentives as any other journalist, which may very well drive me to more pessimistic stories, as those seem to drive more engagement and thus more dollars.
Agreed. It's interesting to see though in the comments that all the links there are http:// even the ones that are to security posts
There’s more to phishing threat models than strictly credential theft, as you seem to imply.

I don't know if you're talking about the design or content. But on design... So Cult of the Dead Cow has literally been around for 40 years.

And this is what their "pages" looked like before the web, when ascii on TTY was all you had.

Ironically, however, the first actual web page of theirs IA has, in 1998, does _not_ look like this, they didn't actually think at that point it would be edgy and cool to make the brand new web look like an ASCII tty.

https://web.archive.org/web/19980209125729/http://cultdeadco...

It actually wasn't until 2019 they decided it would be maybe edgy and cool to make their webpage look like an ascii tty from 1990.

A lot of it is dead, but there are still some live wires. Phenomenology is a very vibrant field nowadays, for example.
You can listen to the thing I posted. I think he crystalized really well how unfettered free speech is fundamentally a contradiction. So long as one party's speech can chill the speech of another (ie coordinated harassment or doxxing of trans influencers) then site owners are going to be obligated to pick a side and limit some kinds of speech. That just sounds like logic to me.

If there's something that can emulate that, and... Not be a hacky work around.. then I'm all ears

When I was a kid and needed to know how to spell a word, my teachers told me to look it up in a dictionary. This had the problem you're describing — if I could do that, I wouldn't need to.

But AI? I can ask LLMs questions like:

"A couple is buying a house in Germany. What questions do they typically forget to ask, which they regret not asking, and often wish later that someone had told them to ask?"

And it can fill in the gaps better than when I ask a human the same kind of question.

I don't expect it to be perfect, this could well be a half-arsed boilerplate, but the actual humans who I asked this of, mostly responded "Huh? I don't understand?"

It is not impossible for a government to act as a mafia (see Russia). But I believe it's impossible for a mafia to be a functional government, they are just built on different grounds.

For me a functional government has the wellbeing of its citizens as a mission. There might be different opinions on how that would look like (hence democracy) but the idea is that; once the government is unchangeable and only cares about maximising the profits of its cadre then it starts becoming more and more like a mafia, just a legalised one.
There are many anti-bias solutions put in the system.

Two most common are:
1. Prompt engineering - there is a Stanford paper on how to do this

2. Removing bias factors like name, gender - before prompting with GPT-4 - this greatly mitigates any bias.
Weren't these the guys who released BackOrifice back in the day? It was a simple to use remote control trojan with a nice GUI... had a blast with it :P https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Orifice?wprov=sfla1

As a kid, I attached it to some shareware game and sent it to a friend, letting it lurk. I called him up a few days later. And then once we started playing the game, I waited for a suspenseful moment to suddenly play back a loud scream .WAV that I uploaded previously. My friend jumped out of his chair and screamed himself and ran out of the room.

He eventually came back, hyperventilating, and sat down to try to tell me what happened, only for his CD tray to start opening and closing at random. He ran away again, swearing about his haunted PC...

Eventually he told the school principal, who sat us down and made us explain what modems and trojans and ports were. Then he asked us if we knew what an orifice was, and how that was connected to ports... sigh, the kind of discussion you never wanted to have with a grown-up.

We were young. The internet was young. Things were wild and free and not so hypercommercialized and buttoned down yet. Google wasn't around and Apple was for homework and Hypercard. Microsoft still had flight simulators in Excel. Good times...

I guess in war you do what you have to. I'm assuming cost and time savings are the motivator here, but very curious how this balances against getting the right personnel to code this up. Bypass normal security, familiarity, and experience requirements typically involved in aircraft & munitions work?
