There is some contention around this. For a while it seemed like there could be two species on mainland Africa (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adansonia_kilima) and while most happily accepted the return of the status quo with the paper that decided they were all the same, I'm not entirely convinced (source: I collected location and morphology info from lots of these trees a decade ago and a number of traits were very distinctly bi-modal, although this is of course not proof that they're actually separate species). The Australian author who described A. kilima thought it was the diploid ancestor of the Australian species, rather than A. digitata or any of the Madagascan species...
Unless the terms of the NDA are provided upfront, that sounds sketch AF.

"I agree to follow unspecified terms in perpetuity, or return the pay I already earned" doesn't vibe with labor laws.

And if those NDA terms were already in the contract, there would be no need to sign them upon exit.
"Thread" term in GPUs and CPUs mean different things, it's more like a SIMD lane in GPUs. A bit like ISPC can compile your code so there's eg 32 invocations of your function per CPU thread running on the same time (if you're using 16-bit datums on AVX512), and you could have 2048 executions going on after multiplying up 32 cores * 2 SMT threads/core * 32 compiler executions.

One thing that is important in your calculations is how long-term is your outlook. What is nice to do in one week is a huge drag doing 2 years.

The more involved the logic or the more you are doing the project, the more paid to have a strict stack that solves the harder problem in the most correct way possible.

Incidentally, that's what Grigory Perelman, the mathematician that rejected the Fields Medal and the $1M prize that came with it, did.

It wasn't a matter of an NDA either; it was a move to make his message heard (TL;DR: "publish or perish" rat race that the academia has become is antithetical to good science).

He was (and still is) widely misunderstood in that move, but I hope people would see it more clearly now.

The enshittification processes of academic and corporate structures are not entirely dissimilar, after all, as money is at the core of corrupting either.

> Same for spam filtering. Reject at the SMTP level for invalid sender identification.

This is what Posteo (posteo.de) does by default* instead of accepting emails and putting them in a Spam folder. [1] It checks for a few different things and rejects the mail if the spam criteria are met. In my limited experience, many mail server admins of large organizations don’t even look at these email rejections to take any action. The result is that the mails keep getting rejected and the receiver doesn’t even know the context or content (by design).

* Posteo now has the option of accepting mail and putting it in the Spam folder too, if one desires this mode of operation.

You could merge these data structures as well. If the two instances to be merged are not at the same "round", take the one that's at an earlier round and advance it (by discarding half the entries at random) by the difference in rounds. Then just insert the values from one list to the other, ignoring duplicates; if the result is too large, discard half at random and increment the round number.

I implemented exactly this algorithm at my previous employer, except that alongside each value, we stored an estimate of the number of times that value appeared. This allowed us to generate an approximate list of the most common values and estimated count for each value.

Of course it’s cheaper it covers much less.

The US insurance pays for everything. UK insurance layers on top of the public system.

Plus UK insurance excludes pre-existing conditions.

In the US you can get diagnosed with cancer and then buy insurance to pay for it.
Is it even scientific to claim anything about black hole insides? AFAIU it's impossible by definition for any information to escape black hole insides. Any observation or experiment is not possible. Any assumption can't be confirmed or rebuted. Basically it can't be falsified, so it's not a science according to Popper.
As someone who works in this space professionally, my face and my palm have never been closer. I have no problem with the project-- research is research and it's not like they're trying to pass this off as a 'solved problem'-- but among a specific subset of tech folks, AI image tools arouse this completely unwarranted "we've solved art" bravado. It inspires them to arrogantly-- sometimes even imperiously-- throw around these baseless assumptions about basic art principles. I worked in software for a long time and I know hubris in software development is nothing new, and can even sometimes be beneficial, but I'm not sure I've ever seen such an intense collective overconfidence in a single subject within the software world.

My take away is that we should talk about our experience in companies at a large enough scale
that it becomes non specific in principle, and not targeted at a single company.

Basically, we need our open source version of Glassdoor as a LLM ?
Yes but they don't just use a random set of photos. They take multiple 360 photos for the specific purpose of feeding them into their virtual tour app. That's why you can pan around.
Maybe. But whether the employee can refuse the gag has nothing to do at all with the legal doctrine that requires consideration.
And be rightfully sacked for maliciously burning millions of dollars on a retrain to purposefully poison the model?

It got worse, now I am shadow banned very quickly after creating a new account and posting a couple of comments. So just reading it using redlib now, wonder how long redlib lasts after those AI deals.

If the NDA terms were agreed in an employment contract they would no longer be valid upon termination of that contract.

Ok but peppercorn or not, what’s the consideration?
I teach and it's not a war at all, from my point of view it's actually quite simple. We use Gradework. Students upload their work in Word or PDF, and there's a percentage counter in the top right corner. If it's above 30%, which rarely happens, I pass it to the head teacher. They have a conversation with that student, which I'm told involves a talk-to for the first time, a warning the second time, and expulsion the third time (which AFAIK hasn't happened yet).

I don't see why a code review couldn't be the same.

You don't need to compile the protobufs. The alternative, for all serialization formats, is to either load the schema dynamically, or write the handling logic manually yourself (or write your own generator/compiler).

The lead developer you refer to is still in charge despite what may have been posted. He is a known to suffer from extreme paranoia and to this day remains overzealous in banning anyone who he (even slightly) disagrees with. The buzz word he uses is "spreading misinformation".

It's not really a deal breaker in using grapheneos, but don't try to ask him anything technical about the project or he might ban you.
Yes, you got the joke.
Is there an insightful summary of this proposal? The whole paper looks like 38 pages of non-rigorous prose with no clear procedure and already “aligned” LLMs will likely fail to analyze it.

Forced myself through some parts of it and all I can get is people don’t know what they want so it would be nice to build an oracle. Yeah, I guess.

There is also a nexus with the reward system of the brain in general, and semaglutide definitely seems to have effects similar to ADHD medication in these respects. It also seems to help alcoholism for the same reasons - it helps reduce the underlying dysregulation in the reward system that keeps people in that loop.

Take the example I gave. How many cardboard boxes were around when people decided to start hunting down the first instance of “OK”? What is the likely hood of someone photographing one of those boxes given the prevalence of photography at the time and the importance of a cardboard box?
No one mentioned LLMs.

We know that there are things that computers can flat out do better than humans, because there are limits to human brains. If computers continue to grow in power, then the fact that someday there might be an AI (actual AI, not LLM) which can come up with novel solutions is totally plausible. And if we go past that point and computers continue to become more powerful, then it's likely that the AI will continue to grow and become more powerful as well. And if the AI eternally expands its thinking capabilities with time, then it will inevitably surpass humans one day.

Do we need to get to that point to solve physics? Probably not. We're not at the limits of human ingenuity yet. But mentioning AI doesn't mean "I think LLMs in the next 3 months will solve everything!" either. No need to be so defensive about someone wistfully pondering about the limits of humanity.
Local districts have only exactly as many powers as granted to them by state governments. What was granted to them in the name of expediency and locality of control can be taken back by the state government, which is the ultimate sovereign controlling these matters. That's why this is a state issue - the localities are corrupt but the state could fix that by removing them from the equation.

Mortgages and interest rates affect prices, but not the decision over whether to build more and how much.

Interesting. I had somehow read halfway through the text in the image not even noticing them, but got completely stuck at "preuaile". When I saw it there, I could only see it as the yogh character, maybe because it has a tail that make it look more like a modern 3 than a modern 2.

I guess yogh was obsoleted long before this text though as there as several of "gh" and "ch" clusters e.g. "chastise", "chased" and "fought".
4o uses less compute and performs better.
Just because you can make something doesn't mean you know why it's made.

There are thousands of people around the world trying to reverse engineer what is going on in the billions or trillions of parameters in an LLM.

It's a field called "Mechanistic Interpretability." The people who do the work jokingly call it "cursed" because it is so difficult and they have made so little progress so far.

Literally nobody can predict before they are released what capabilities new models will have in them.

And then, months after a model is released, people discover new abilities in it, such as decent chess playing.

They are black boxes.

When it comes to acceleration, it's possible to define 0 acceleration. So we can define acceleration and deceleration in relation to that 0 acceleration.

What is 0 encouragement/discouragement? It's not obviously easy to define. One definition is doing nothing = 0 encouragement and 0 discouragement. By that definition, not removing graffiti (aka doing nothing) is not encouragement, it's simply doing nothing: a lack of encouragement and a lack of discouragement.

Because we haven't agreed on a definition of 0 encouragement and 0 discouragement, saying "decreasing encouragement" and "increasing discouragement" mean basically the same thing.

This is how I felt looking at the Saturn V at KSP. The thing is absolutely huge, and the further up the stack one goes the more intricate the vehicle gets. Every millimeter is carefully engineered, for over one hundred meters in length and maybe ten meters in diameter. Then the crazy lander and capsule at the top. The more I examined it, the more I felt that evolved, like it is a part of human evolution.
