The entire notion of “safety” and “ethics” in AI is simply a Trojan horse for injecting government control and censorship over speech and expression. That’s what the governments get out of it. The big AI players like OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, etc. are incentivized to go along with it because it helps them through regulatory capture and barriers to competition. They also make some friends with powerful legislators to avoid pesky things like antitrust scrutiny.

Legislation should not restrict the development or operation of fundamental AI technologies. Instead laws should only be built on the specific uses that are deemed illegal, irrespective of AI.
Safety margins in what you call a 3A cable. And each circuit being fused at a lower 16A, not the 30A that my British house had.

Something like 1.5 mm2 (only a 0.5mm diameter) is able to handle 12A if the insulation survives heating up to 60 degrees and 18A if 70 degrees is acceptable. The whole circuit would have a 16A fuse at the fusebox, so you're not going to get to 70 degrees.

Far from ideal, but also very very unlikely. Because a short would be over 16A and blow the fuse. So we're talking about some situation that's far from a normal load (any device that's close to such a load would need a different cable to be certified), while still remaining right under the maximum load of the fuse that's covering the circuit.

Homes aren't burning down all over the rest of Europe all the time, while fuses in plugs aren't a thing here.
I think that's okay. I'm not opposed to foreigners at all. What I find a bit strange is that (proprietary) tech provides a backdoor to the user - I think this is something that a reasonable govt would oppose, but of course they have other things on their plates too, and they are corrupt as well.

This concern is similar to what is cited as the reason for the Huawei sanctions in the US.

Of course, it's not like FOSS magically eliminates all threat. If FOSS was commonly utilized by governments, I think we would see more "XZ Utils backdoor" type of attacks, as it were a juicier target. I firmly believe though that using FOSS would be a step in the right direction.

> Or at best we just replace coal with natural gas, and in which case who cares, our CO2 production is still going up?

One should care about coal versus natural/methane gas because:

> Coal produces more CO2 per unit of energy than natural gas does when burned. Coal consumption for electricity generation produces 209 pounds of CO2 per million British thermal units (MMBtu), compared with 117 pounds of CO2/MMBtu for natural gas.

* https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=48296

> Coal contains more carbon than oil or gas. When we burn these fuels, the higher amount of carbon in coal reacts to form CO2, while a higher proportion of hydrogen in oil and gas causes them to form H2O along with CO2.

(Happy to switch to nuclear and/or renewable instead though.)
Thanks for trying it! So far, the the testing and validation stage has been left to the developer. While this could change in the future, my experience has been the models aren't quite good enough yet to make an auto-test/auto-fix loop like you've described the default behavior. You end up with a lot of tire-spinning where you're burning a lot of tokens to fix issues that a human can resolve trivially.

I think it's better for now to use LLMs to generate the bulk of a task, then have the developer clean up and integrate rather than trying to get the LLM to do 100%.

That said, you can accomplish a workflow like this with Plandex already by piping output into context. It would look something like:

plandex new
plandex load relevant_context.ts some_more_context.ts
plandex tell 'some kind of complex task'
# ...Plandex does its thing, but doesn't get it 100% right
npm test | plandex load
plandex tell 'please fix the problems causing the failed tests'

As the models improve, I'm definitely interested in baking this in to make it more automated.
Maybe it would help me, not sure. I haven't been impressed with what I've seen when team members have "run stuff through chatgpt". (I'm senior, been doing this professionally for 25 years. Made my share of mistakes, supported my code for a decade or two.)

My main issue at the moment with Junior devs is getting stuck in the weeds, chasing what they think is a syntax error, but not seeing (or hearing) that what they have is a lack of understanding. Some of that is experience, some of that is probably not being able to read the code and internalize what it all means, or make good test cases to exercise it.

If you can't produce the code, and have a sketchy grasp of reasoning it out, debugging it is going to be a step too far. And the AIs are (hopefully) going to be giving you things that look right, there will be subtle bugs. This puts it in the dangerous quadrant.
This is such a bad, overly-cynical take.

> Why is it that nearly every paper linked on HN, someone is in the comments saying the research didn't go far enough?

Because they usually don't.

And for those who are actually curious, look up "reproducibility crisis" and "publish or perish" to learn more about issues in academia, and ask ChatGPT about why systemic skepticism of scientific research is critical to the process of science.

> In this case without even reading the paper? Nothing in your critique is relevant to the fact that the authors found physical fitness and mental health linked. Nothing in your critique is relevant to the fact that the authors found physical fitness and mental health linked.

Such irony, that you didn't read any part of the preview yourself. If you did, you'd see:

"This study highlights the potential protective role of cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular endurance, and muscular power in preventing the onset of mental disorders. It warrants further investigation of the effectiveness of physical fitness programs as a preventive measure for mental disorders among children and adolescents."

The viability of this correlation, given controls for confounders, changes the significance of the results dramatically. Perhaps you think the point of research is to publish pointless correlations and suggest wild ideas for journalists to turn into clickbait?

For those actually curious: the authors are proposing a causation, and given the absence of any counter, it's a biased conclusion that attempts to increase the significance of the findings for the sake of publishing, at the cost of coming uncomfortably close to declaring a causal relationship. Not a criticism of the authors necessarily, but of the poor incentives plaguing academia. For studies like this to be of higher quality, they become very expensive, so given the lack of discussion regarding confounders in the preview, one should have strong skepticism regarding the actual practical significance of the strength of the causal relationship. Though if the research is of low quality, then it really all was pointless and probably only serves to keep the authors employed. At that point, the paper is only an unsubstantiated suggestion to study something else, so why even bother with the rest of the paper. That being said, having been an athlete for most of my life, I'm a huge proponent of children being given access to sports.

> No, not everyone has equal access to sports. Yes mental health is complicated.

Do you talk to people in real life like this? That's quite upsetting.

I read it. No one is first with anything. There isn't a single thing that someone is first with. Given some thing x, and some \eps, you can find some x_0 that precedes x in time such |x-x_0|<\eps. It's just a matter of looking. That's just how human knowledge is formed. Who can tell, perhaps William Gibson was the originator of the Internet and everyone else just did the highly obvious thing of making it.
The modern colloquial usage of "begs the question" bugs the heck out of me. I try not to get too pedantic about language usage, but that one just sticks in my craw. I think because it's actually quite useful to understand when one is begging the question, and it feels a disservice to water down the phrase.
I'm less familiar with AWS. But on Azure, you can have private storage accounts which aren't internet routable so they wouldn't even be able to hit the endpoints to rack up charges. It's a bit ridiculous that you'd have to go that far to avoid being charged for unauthorized access, but I'd be surprised if AWS and GCP didn't have similar capabilities.

in my single coding test, which is a task i originally gave to GPT4, it performed so ridiculously better. it provided really in-depth debugging advice as to why the original script wasn't working, completely recoded it in a much smarter way, and understood with HTML structure that I was asking it to parse and manipulate much better
I simply asked whether it was GPT-4.5 or GPT-5:

I believe that Rollover Protection Systems (ROPS) have been mandatory on new tractors up to a certain weight for quite some time now.
I have tried a lot of RAG and can tell you that no LLM, including Gemini 1.5 with it's 1.5 million context, will be anywhere near as good at longer context lengths as in shorter context lengths.

Appending huge numbers of tokens to the prompt often leads to the system prompt or user instructions being ignored, and since API based LLM authors are terrified of jailbreaks, they won't give you the ability to "emphasize" or "upweight" tokens (despite this being perfectly possible) since you can easily upweight a token to overwhelm the DPO alignment lobotomization that most models go through - so no easy fix for this coming from OpenAI/Anthropic et al
>That’s still a whole lot more than their previous fine of $0.00

No, it's barely more.
To various extents, yes, but it is easier to suspend one's disbelief about certain things than others. The main issue with sophons is that they routinely have to interact with quantities of energy that should annihilate them: when they are unfolded, for instance, they have to bear the impact of light all over their planet-spanning surface. They are "god-tier" technology, but only because they flaunt basic conservation of energy. I find it harder to suspend my disbelief about that than e.g. faster than light travel.

Foundation and Dune's premises are much tamer, and neither story collapses entirely if they turn out to be false.
In a codebase of 13+ trillion lines it's very little.
Hi, I (Jake Hamilton) am.

Though, this is not an effort that can be undertaken by one person. My goal is publishing this page was to create a set of values, goals, and a roadmap for people (like myself) who would otherwise be leaving the Nix ecosystem due to its shortcomings. These values, goals, and roadmap can then be used for alignment to actually make it a reality. I worried that if these things weren't specified up front that people would instead continue arguing in circles about past problems rather than building a solution.
The skill in using an LLM currently is in getting you to where you want to be, rather than wasting time convincing the LLM to spit out exactly what you want. That means flipping between having Aider write the code and editing the code yourself, when it's clear the LLM doesn't get it, or you get it better than it does.
My opinion, of course. But it’s not pleasant looking or sounding.
I don't think so? I was saying that the library buys a paper book, scans it, and destroys the original, leaving them with a digital copy. I think (seriously, IANAL) that conversion process is legal because you start with 1 copy and end with 1 copy. The thing the Internet Archive is in trouble for is taking 1 copy and giving it to multiple people at once (effectively, start with 1 copy, end with >1 copy) which is probably a legal problem.
> Maybe I'm missing something here?

Some nuance. Most people _want_ to be promoted, due to some combination of a) they want to earn more money, b) they want the respect / power that comes with the higher title, c) they actually want to do the job that the higher role is doing.

However, a lot of people aren't necessarily cut out for / want to do the work that comes with higher levels.

If these people were happy to be L5 for the rest of their life and not want a promotion, companies would be happy to employ them at that and have them lead Software projects.

However, they ultimately want ever increasing salaries and more scope, and that's only possible by promoting them. Many people get promoted and realize most of them is now spent not coding and they are less happy, but they have, in a way, Peter Principled their way into their terminal level.

> NAT is not a security feature and never has been.

True, and I don't think of it as such -- after all, NAT or not, it's my firewall doing the protecting. What NAT would buy me here is convenience, not security.

I could have the same level of security without NAT, but managing it properly is easier and less error-prone with it.
Ah, nice. A quick thought: Perhaps have an option of seeing a projected track, perhaps with time ticks, for "oh, it's going to overfly mumble in mumble time - I should stay/try to come back then"?
Thanks. I have a 3 episode rule. If I'm not into it by the end of the 3rd episode, I don't continue. I'll give this one another shot.

While it's hypothetically possible to have NAT without a firewall, I've never personally touched or seen such a thing. I can confidently state that if you have NAT, you also have a firewall. Use it.

Nope. You can run the model fine but if you actually want to take advantage of the big context window the memory usage will grow enormously.

For the 256k they already require 64GB... So for this I guess 256GB?

Source: https://ollama.com/library/dolphin-llama3:256k

> Note: using a 256k context window requires at least 64GB of memory.

If I run that 256k model with simple typed prompts it behaves the same as the normal version. But I have to be careful how much I stick in it. I only have 24GB in my GPU.

There doesn't seem to be any drawback running the 256k version for small contexts though. That's pretty nice. The only thing is that it will get stuck when it runs out of memory (it just keeps twirling with the GPU pegged at 100%). With the regular model that won't happen because it will just get amnesia and just remember the last part of the context.
They are at least for nonEU ppl. Friend got in big trouble because border agents didn't stamp her passport - she went to the us, got an exit stamp but no entry or exit stamp from us and no entry stamp in eu (lots of ppl got lazy...). A routine visit to immigration office suddenly turned into pretty strict questioning and several hours of waiting until they check her passport.
The quality of the article is what should drive voting and flagging.

Your personal opinion as to what level of AI tooling was used in crafting the content is a low value signal and posting that speculation without meaningfully engaging in the content is as low value as commenting to say "this article sucks".

Personally, I think this would be a very strange place to find pute AI genetated content. This is a personal statement that was submitted to the state, and posted under a real name under a site the poster has a professional association with. I think that any "strangeness" in formating a wording comes from the role this text serves, as a public comment intended to affect policy.
I believe the idea was that a publisher could have a contract with libraries in order to rent them digital copies that imposes terms against other ways of getting digital copies. (Whether that should be or is legal is a separate question that I'm not going to answer; as ever IANAL.)

>We build on top of the EasyContext Blockwise RingAttention library [3] to scalably and efficiently train on contexts up to 1048k tokens on Crusoe Energy high performance L40S cluster.

>Notably, we layered parallelism on top of Ring Attention with a custom network topology to better leverage large GPU clusters in the face of network bottlenecks from passing many KV blocks between devices. This gave us a 33x speedup in model training (compare 524k and 1048k to 65k and 262k in the table below).

My understanding is you need multiple GPUs to coordinate ring-attention for the long context window.
This. I would only add that even the FSB (which is theoretically the equivalent of the FBI, and should operate domestically) has extensive foreign operations. It was most likely the FSB that was primarily blamed for the major fuckup that was the raid on Kyiv in 2022. Sergey Beseda, the leader of the "foreign branch", was imprisoned for some time after that happened.

Russia also has had at least three armed forces up until recently, the normal one, the Rosgvardia, and the PMC complex including Wagner. All of them have had rather serious equipment, for example Wagner had tanks, artillery, they even had their own air defence like Pantsir and their own aviation.

What social norms will you get from weird spiderman movies on youtube (that look like some sort of russian psy-ops) or from chinese tiktok algorhitm, that shows educational stuff for chinese children and complete utter garbage for those in the West?

Damn, in the past the "history channel" showed actual history or you could discover things at discovery. Now discovery is psuedo-science about people building the biggest X and blowing it up.

I am not saying that children should not be given access to smartphones, but that tiktok (and modern youtube - especially with the new algorhitms) just feed them complete and utter crap. Worst of the worst.

I would like to see laws addressing the issue itself, e.g. banning any collection of location data unless it's explicitly needed and used by the collecting agent/service themselves, and banning sharing/selling it.
Presumably, since the files are user uploaded, the Internet Archive is protected so long as they comply with any DCMA takedown requests, and I imagine they do. But then some other user soon uploads the infringing material, and the onus is back on the rights holder to find it and issue another notice.
I too can guess that the point of the ID block was for Russian migration controls to more easily understand that "these people are special", but that would be idiotic whether it was done in 1950, in 1970 or in 2020.

This isn't training on top of existing weights from Llama-3, it's training using their own long context data, and it such a tiny set I wondering how strong its reasoning capability is.
