From Zvi's article:

> The definition of covered model seems to me to be clearly intended to apply only to models that are effectively at the frontier of model capabilities.

> Let’s look again at the exact definition:

> (1) The artificial intelligence model was trained using a quantity of computing power greater than 10^26 integer or floating-point operations in 2024, or a model that could reasonably be expected to have similar performance on benchmarks commonly used to quantify the performance of state-of-the-art foundation models, as determined by industry best practices and relevant standard setting organizations.

> (2) The artificial intelligence model has capability below the relevant threshold on a specific benchmark but is of otherwise similar general capability.

> That seems clear as day on what it means, and what it means is this:

> 1.

> If your model is over 10^26 we assume it counts.

> 2.

> If it isn’t, but it is as good as state-of-the-art current models, it counts.

> 3.

> Being ‘as good as’ is a general capability thing, not hitting specific benchmarks.

> Under this definition, if no one was actively gaming benchmarks, at most three existing models would plausibly qualify for this definition: GPT-4, Gemini Ultra and Claude. I am not even sure about Claude.

> If the open source models are gaming the benchmarks so much that they end up looking like a handful of them are matching GPT-4 on benchmarks, then what can I say, maybe stop gaming the benchmarks?

> Or point out quite reasonably that the real benchmark is user preference, and in those terms, you suck, so it is fine. Either way.

> But notice that this isn’t what the bill does. The bill applies to large models and to any models that reach the same performance regardless of the compute budget required to make them. This means that the bill applies to startups as well as large corporations.

> Um, no, because the open model weights models do not remotely reach the performance level of OpenAI?

> Maybe some will in the future.

> But this very clearly does not ‘ban all open source.’ There are zero existing open model weights models that this bans.

So no, it does not seem that anything was missed.
The Insider has been systematically repressed by the Putin's regime:

* "Foreign agent" label in 2021. This means massive restrictions on income sources and a target of gradually increasing restrictions as years go by.

* "Undesirable organization" in 2022. Donating to such organizations is a criminal offense.

* Roman Dobrokhotov - the Insider founder - has been wanted in Russia since 2021.
If I understand correctly, they're saying that the low level stuff works the way it works in Nix, not that they use Nix for that.

I am aware Guix did fork Nix but from what I've read, there's almost nothing left in Guix that still uses the initial Nix code?
Agreed. See also Epstein. Very spook-connected dude.
I don't know the terminology. I just know that Rust does whatever the alternative is to the Java way with inheritance. You don't get stuck with the classic classification problem.
I created an open source, Azure OpenAI chat app and put it up on GitHub. I've been using it for my own use of a private type of ChatGPT for my own use. I hope others find it useful for the same, or just learning more about how to use chat completion with Azure OpenAI. :)

The industry would have to change drastically for that to occur. I don’t think it would be a bad thing, but it would be a fundamental shift and drastically raise the cost.
There's a collection of techniques in the mental health field called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is about helping people identify and replace these negative stories.

Yeah, I looked a bit now. It seems there are some serious attempts at this.

Thanks for writing that up. It's what I suspected from my use of CoPilot.

I love copilot as an autocomplete tool... but it frequently gets things wrong, and using the chat feature to ask it to complete some task usually just generates code that breaks things. So until that improves, Im skeptical a workspace tool would work.

Workspace seems like an awesome idea though.. once the tech is further along.

I guess it always just seems weird to me when they see something correctly as a rapid and dramatic change, but they don’t play out the obvious trajectory, and then come up with restraints that only make sense in the context of current technical limitations.
A little skepticism is healthy for an unfamiliar source but don’t let your cynicism turn into a blindfold. This is in keeping with decades of precedent and describes official actions by the Czech government which can be verified, and it’s unclear to me what benefit Russia would have from drawing attention to their sabotage operations so you might want to start with a working theory there.
As do the European healthcare systems that have so many advocates here. In any system, there is a finite amount of money that can be paid out. Some level of review and denial of some claims or authorizations is unavoidable.

I'm not saying that the current system in the US is great, but moving to a 100% "single-payer" model will not get rid of claim review.
Thanks, I'll see if I can improve that. The textures are quite hefty so that's probably slowing it down. Are you on a mobile/cellular data connection?
Writing code is one of the less important parts of your job as a developer. Understanding what the client actually wants and turning that into code is where the real difficulty lies for most software development. Also, I doubt we'll be able to overcome the "subtly wrong/insecure" issues with a lot of LLM generated code
"Uses up willpower," I thought, was also studied and found to be lacking as a thing?

I think it is fair that "exercise" in the form of specific activity with the sole purpose of doing the activity is likely much harder to get results from than folks admit. I think it is also fair that getting more active, period, is more effective than people will admit. You don't have to have a gym membership to keep from getting over weight. You do have to be active.
What's interesting is that taxing the super wealthy would actually increase the health of the economy. They are leaches on the economy, hoarding up more and more money, land, assets, etc. just to make more money. Decreasing wealth inequality will help the economy.

And I think there's also a point of culture. I think the startup culture and Silicon Valley culture is damaging the American economy, hyper focusing on short term results. What startup has been actually influential in recent times, in terms of a benefit to society? There's very few, and there's plenty of examples of these startups harming things.

Lastly, these billionaires are actually a security threat. They start to become so powerful, with so much money and power concentrated, that they can literally affect laws, policies, wars, and even elections. Trump won because of Robert Mercer, yet another libertarian extremist billionaire.
> A Russian would say to you that if it's indeed a GRU op, they should do an internal investigation and shoot behind the garden shed the ones who devised / permitted it, after making effort to find out whether they were working for the other side, or just dumb on their own.

A naive Russian, I would say. Let's take a simple example:

> In 2009 the Šapošnikovs purchased a sprawling villa on the picturesque Aegean peninsula of Halkidiki, Greece. The price, as recorded in the notarial deed of purchase obtained by The Insider, was 275,292 euros, or $300,000 at the time. Elena would later tell investigators that she had funded the investment “with money from my parents” – a tall order for the septuagenarian couple living in Kyiv on pensions of under $300 per month.

I don't believe that the people who approved such money transfers were small fish in the GRU.

There are a lot of people who will find their workplace being singularly "mission focused" a good thing, but 5% of Coinbase's staff announced that they'd be leaving within one working week of that post[1], and others followed shortly after. I think that shows that in a corporate environment, it's not possible to retain all of the best staff if you're very publicly burying your head in the sand with regards to social issues - particularly in the immediate aftermath of the George Floyd protests.

The author talks about the productivity losses rising from social-issue disagreement in the workplace, but it's rare that you can point to a press release from a C-suite employee and say "this specific document caused one in twenty staff members to leave immediately". The productivity destruction at Coinbase from that press release was enormous.

You have the direction mixed up. They became this successful because they always had conviction in non-mainstream ideas.

This is frequently shown in criticism of the Internet Archive. "How could they think that Outrageous Thing X could be legal? The Archive is reasonable but this new thing is not". Well, none of the people who thought that did the original Internet Archive in the first place.

Those who only take well-worn roads rarely discover new places. And to them, discovery seems serendipitous. Why would this explorer not just take the well-worn road now that he's discovered something, they wonder. He thinks he's a visionary just because he found this. If I found it I'd never leave the road.

It's not speculation. Bee eyes have receptors for green, blue, and UV-A light, for example. But as BenjiWiebe mentioned, that's not the same as being sensitive to UV-C.

I'm sure there would be some value in seeing others parts of UV. Some minerals fluoresce from one type of UV light but not another, so they'd be dark in the bands that cause them to fluoresce. Mantis shrimp can apparently see into UV-B, but I'm not aware of anything living that can see UV-C.

The Zip+4 last four digits align to delivery zones. It can be trivially constructed from the complete address now that we have reliable digital mapping systems, and in fact this is what happens internally in the postal system.

It is not required and will likely never be required to provide a 9 digit ZIP for reliable delivery. It may, and does sometimes, impact speed of delivery due to sorting/distribution rounds.

> That is great an all but when you are endorsing someone for a serious position of power, shouldn't we want them to be engaged and thinking?

If you want to endorse someone and get a political SMS to endorse them you've probably already done the thinking of "whom do I want to vote for". What they're trying to do is just support someone. I suspect many people did not even realize there was an option there to "run for prez".

Is there any point in tattooing it on the back of the hands of people who don't read?

That said, https://readabilityformulas.com/readability-scoring-system.p... is a good sanity check. Over half of people can't read text above a grade 8 readability. Worse yet, we aren't conscious of the effort that reading takes. Not until we are struggling. So competent people have little sense of the barriers they create.
As someone who lives in Seattle I can tell you at least two things 1) the homeless population and use of drugs out in the open on sidewalks in the city has gone up significantly and no plan for addressing. 2) the city management tends to be anti-tech, things like pushing Amazon and others out with the head tax and the gig worker min hourly pay and all that which basically shut down use of Uber eats and other delivery services due to misunderstanding economics (which they are now scrambling to reverse since the workers themselves hate it).

If I'm doing 75 in the middle lane along with traffic, and somebody behind me in the middle lane wants to do 95, I'm not obligated to move into the slow vehicle lane.

They can pass on the left, in the passing lane. They are not entitled to pass on the right on the slow vehicle lane.

You're right. This is not hard to comprehend.
You don't have to buy anything to read the notebook though.
I honestly don't understand how this is responsive to what I wrote.
In C++ if you want an opaque type similar to your C example, then you give your class a static constructor.

class Foo {
public:
static std::unique_ptr<Foo> create();

std::string getStringOrSomething();

private:
struct FooImp;

Foo() = delete;

Foo(const Foo&) = delete;

auto& self() {
return static_cast<FooImp&>(*this);
}
};

And then you use inheritance to hide your implementation in a single translation unit/ie. a .cpp file source file.

struct Foo::FooImp : Foo {
std::string something;
};

std::string Foo::getStringOrSomething() {
return self().something;
}

With this, there is a single indirection to access the object just as in the C example.

But PIMPL is used when you want to preserve value semantics, things like a copy constructor, move semantics, assignment operations, RAII, etc...
In my experience these tools continue to be really bad at actually translating business needs, that is, specific logic for handling/processing information, specific desired behaviors. They're good at retreiving general patterns and templates, and at transforming existing code in simple ways. My theory is that translating the idea of how some software is supposed to function into working code requires a robust world model and capacity for deep thought and planning. Certainly we will create AI capable of these things eventually, but when that happens "did I make a mistake in studying computer science?" will not be your greatest concern.
Yeah, I don't really disagree with that.

I think Americans are kind of trained by the propaganda machine that you need to find fulfillment from your job, but fundamentally I think you're right and I need to take things into my own hands.

I have a few ideas that I think I might be able to turn into papers, and might even be able to get them published in a real journal. I doubt that my current gig will have too much of a problem with that (they're much more in the chemistry/healthcare space than pure CS), so I might be able to have some fun with that while giving myself an excuse to use pure math.
I agree, but since neither I nor the person I responded to have used either word, what is the relevance?
Or just go back to calling it gridiron football.
I build dashboards in Jupyter Lab. My plotting libraries are Altair, matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly - all work well in notebook.

My favorite is Altair. It provides interactivity for charts, so you can move/zoom your plots and have tooltips. It is much lighter than Plotly after saving the notebook to ipynb file. Altair charts looks much better than in matplotlib. One drawback, that exporting to PDF doesn't work. To serve notebook as dashboard with code hidden, I use Mercury framework, you can check example https://runmercury.com/tutorials/vega-altair-dashboard/

I'm a working class kid and made my money in that era (money long gone). I moved my family into a wealthy neighborhood thinking it would be good for my kids to be around a better class of people. Boy was I wrong. There are a surprising number of rich people who are not smart at all. They got lucky, made a windfall and got lucky again to find a good financial advisor so they manage to hang on to their wealth. Not only that, but rich people have problems that I didn't experience growing up. When I lived in Menlo Park suicide among rich teenagers [1] was happening at an alarming rate due to status wars with other teens and pressure from parents to be successful. My high school graduate father didn't care at all if I went to college. I succeeded because I wanted to. I think it's better that way.

Proponents of the regulation approach probably wouldn't state it this way, but if I'm understanding their arguments correctly, I think they want that, because regularing a few very powerful corporations is easy. Regulating a ton of small people/startups is hard. When you genuinely believe that some of the output from LLMs is literally dangerous to some people, it's not unreasonable to decide that the "freedom" of people to run and develop models to compete is unimportant compared to protecting society from dangerous text or images.

Not just healthcare, the US outspends everyone at everything: infrastructure, education, defense, research, police, housing, prisons, etc. both in relative(by % GDP) and in absolute numbers.

It does so because it can. It's the wealthiest country on Earth so such high inefficiencies where a lot of the money is squandered to the benefit of few wealthy and unscrupulous parties, can be financially absorbed while still delivering a system that's functional enough for its citizens to not revolt over and want to hang someone. After all, it's still better than scary communism.

It’s almost certain that the meaning of some words does evolve by mistake, and “nonplussed” may be an example of that. We learn the meaning of many words purely from context, and for some words, the typical contexts they appear in lend themselves to misinterpretation, in combination with what their linguistic form inherently suggests (like the “non-“ in “nonplussed”). When sufficiently repeated with the mistaken meaning, that new meaning is likely to become established.
The hardest part of software development is not writing code, full stop. It never has been and it never will be. The hard part is designing, understanding, verifying, and repairing complex systems. LLMs do not do this, even a little bit.
