Actually, I figured it out, when an app I wrote, that uses the keychain, started allowing me to log into the app, using Sign in with Apple (which has some stuff that is only available when the login is set up), on devices that were not the ones that I set up.

In my case, I liked that, and so will my users.

But I do think that it could be problematic, if this means that authorities could now get ahold of your keychain, when having it restricted to a single device, avoids that.
"android's weird browser behaviour?"

Android is the dominant platform. Whatever it does isn't weird, it's standard.

Also, do you mean Chrome? There are other browsers.
Awesome work, and I'm glad you could post some results! I'm hoping to get time to delid one, put on a peltier cooler, and try to control the temperature a little better for a run to see how high it'll go before either burning up or going unstable.

From my testing on clocks on the Pi 5, it looks like the default clock of 2.4 GHz is pretty close to the sweet spot for this chip (BCM2712), and you burn a lot of power for small incremental gains after that[1]. (Which you seem to also show with the 3.3 GHz overclock!).

I also spoke to one of the Pi engineers about the chip behavior at higher clocks, and he suggested unlike some chips, this chip might run more stably at higher temperatures (like 50-60°C) rather than 'as cold as you can get it'. So that poses some challenges since most cooling solutions aren't tuned for 'keep a temperature' but instead 'get it as cold as possible', without a lot of manual tweaking.

I dont get the point of saying excercise doesnt make you lose weight. It increases your caloric need, so if you dont eat to make up for it, then ya it absolutely helps.

I struggle greatly to diet hard enough to lose weight if im sedentary. Its extremely easy when doing 3 1hr strength workouts a week, and lik 20 mins of cardio a day. Like its a struggle to eat enough to maintain weight.

The first few bites when fire ants came to Texas hurt. The next few hurt less. Then they came to live in the walls of my parents’ house. I would get multiple bites every day and wake up with a dozen more after every night. It wasn’t that long before they didn’t hurt or leave a bump at all anymore.

n=1 but I used to be immune to it, then one summer started landscaping, and probably weed whacked and pulled more of it than ever. Started with small hives, then small rashes. Then each successive exposure got worse and worse and I had to take a long course of steroids to stop a multi week outbreak. Still have scars 20 years later. For me, more exposure made it far worse.
Quick google search definition from the Cleveland Clinic.

"Aphantasia" is a characteristic some people have related to how their mind and imagination work. Having it means you don't have visual imagination, keeping you from picturing things in your mind. People often don't realize they have it, and it's not a disability or medical condition.

It seems appropriate to take a skeptical stance about his death and inquire whether he was intentionally killed. However at this early stage everything seems like an accident? Helicopters are notorious for crashing, the area is clearly very foggy and mountainous from photos, and rescue personnel looking for survivors themselves went missing.
Just compared to a manual I purchased for $40 from Haynes - CHARM is just as good if not slightly better than that commercial repair guide for a 2008 VW GTI.
It would be far too late by that point, as it can already take measures to stop us. This is a difficult problem and we really should have started putting a lot more effort into this a lot earlier. Of course we can’t test a superintelligence directly yet, but we should do as much theoretical work as we can

There are too many reasons why this is wrong, so I am not going to list them all. But one is network effect. If friends own an iPhone, you are going to buy an iPhone too because then you can use Facetime, etc. Another is simply the fact that people don't know what they want, and they assume the vendor offers what is best for them. A third reason is that any phone has many cons and pros, so "best" is not well defined, and a regulator might as well try to regulate towards more pros and less cons.
Yes. For comparison, Netflix has about $30B in revenue... paid up front for all of its content (something youtube doesnt) and accounts for a larger percentage of internet traffic (likely because of higher quality streams)... and they still made $6B net profit.
I was responding to the following statement:

The claim you are refuting is found in another comment, you'll have to jump into another pipe to get to it.
Beautiful write up, thank you!
Clang doesn't know about the static code, so it can't do the optimizations this does.

You could probably do the same thing with some hacky C++ code gen and templates, but I'm not sure clang et al would be able to optimize them.
Because both of them rely on DNS. DKIM is trivial to bypass if you can create a TXT record with your own key, and SPF is trivial to bypass if you can create a TXT record containing an SPF record with your own IP address / hostname / whatever. Presumably if you can compromise one of them, you can compromise both.
The mind-blowing thing about this I found out recently, is that analysts think that Youtube is still losing money, even after making $31.5 billion in revenue!

From 2015 "Some unnamed person at Google reportedly said that the site is "roughly break-even." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/4-reasons-youtube-still-doesnt-... which in turn quotes https://www.wsj.com/articles/viewers-dont-add-up-to-profit-f...

From March this year (2024): "Analyst Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson estimates that YouTube TV will become profitable this year" https://www.newscaststudio.com/2024/03/29/youtube-tv-profit-...

Part of this could be because they pay out roughly 40-60% of the revenue to the content creators, that leaves Google / Youtube with half the revenue that they use to pay salaries, maintain infrastructure, including storage, hosting and serving content.
There is also location location location.

Maybe Google holds your content in 7 data centers round the world (~1 per continent for planned maintenance + latency + reduced oceanic fiber usage).

But with old rarely streamed content they might cut that down to just 3.
In countries where people have been less conditioned to be mindless sheep, you can more easily find lots of truth that doesn't toe the official line.

Spreading xenophobic FUD only serves to make that point clearer: you can't argue with the facts, so you can only sow distrust.
> The brain is the seat of consciousness and the brain is material, therefore consciousness is emergent from material

This is true from the standpoint of materialism but not necessarily fundamentally true.

How do you know you have a brain? As you explore this question, you’ll realize that the knowledge that you have a brain only manifests as appearances within consciousness.

It’s not necessary true that these appearances are giving you a window into an objective material universe. Instead it might be possible that your consciousness is a product of a simulation where your entire subjectivity - including the observation that you have a brain - is a manifestation of another mechanism that is outside of observability.

The point is that we simply don’t know what’s at rock bottom - an objective universe, a simulation, or an alien’s dream. Therefore the “arrow” of causality might flow from consciousness towards material as opposed to the other way around.

I always think of this comic when people try to mix quantum mechanics and consciousness https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/the-talk-3 . You have to show an actual relation here, you can't just connect these two concepts on the basis that they're both complex.

This may be a common position among philosophers, or more specifically among philosophers who think concepts like "p-zombies" make any sense. But I think most people in general view any being whose behavior is human-like enough as having some form of consciousness.

For most people, being conscious is proved by things like mourning dead companions, like caring for your babies and showing distress if they are missing/hurt, like being friendly and playful. That's why most people feel that certain animals they interact with more or have seen on TV are conscious (dogs, cats, elephants, whales, chimps and other primates), but that other animals are not (insects, rats, fish). Note that I am not saying that rats are objectively less conscious than dogs by these criteria, just that this is what many people base their beliefs on, and that it of course depends on their knowledge as well.
> but multiple displayed components, such as the lifespan and gestation period, have no non-Google source whatsoever associated with them.

Then those panels fall victim to exactly the same issue that AI is having today. When you hide your sources, you are assuming responsibility for accuracy. You better be right, because the user has no way to judge the quality of your answer.
You have to consider that there are still some low hanging fruit that let you improve prompt processing (not token generation) performance by an order of magnitude or even two, but there are no takers. The reason is quite simple. You can just buy more GPUs and forget about the optimizations.

If a 100x improvement in performance is left on the table, then surely even lower priority optimizations won't be implemented any time soon.

Consider this: a lot of clever attention optimizations rely on some initial pass to narrow the important tokens down and discarding them from the KV cache. If this was actually possible, then how come the first few layers of the LLM don't already do this numerically to focus their attention? Here is the shocker: they already do, but since you're passing the full 8k context to the next layer anyway, you're wasting it on mostly... Nothing.

I repeat: Does the 80th layer really need the ability to perform attention over all the previous 8k outputs of the 79th layer? The first layer? Definitely. The last? No.
What happens if you only perform attention over 10% of the outputs of layer 79? What speedup does this give you?

Notice how the model has already learned the most optimal attention scheme. You just need to give it less stuff to do and it will get faster automatically.

What's the point of ChatGPT team data controls?
I use ChatGPT for vague work-related questions sometimes (asking stuff like "how can I accomplish X technical thing using Y framework", "write me a SQL snippet that does X," "translate this from this language to that language", etc.). I avoid putting specific things that might overtrain ChatGPT on specific things about my work, it is a little annoying worrying about that but the tool is still useful.

I see that with team/enterprise licenses they say "We do not use your ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, or API data, inputs, and outputs for training our models." But they also say the same thing about when you opt out of training[1] or turn off chat history. So, I am confused about whether you actually get any extra data protection out of the team/enterprise packages vs. just opting out/turning off chat history... Can anyone explain if there's a real privacy/training/data ownership benefit there?

They still keep the original uploaded files.

You know that because when they release a new format (eg. HDR or a different resolution), they re-encode from the original. Various people have tested that with moire patterns and various other ways to demonstrate if something was encoded more than once.
People love to talk down to you as if the cracks you find don’t matter. Just because Apple discloses that they sell, share, and give access to your data doesn’t mean it’s not bad that they’re doing so.

And as far as “when legally required” that is to cover Apple’s butt when they do it. When legally required reasons can be stretched so thin with modern erosion and national surveillance. They just renewed FISA just got renewed which makes all data technically available when legally required.

Apple only applies enough security to make everyone happy enough to pour money into their bank account, often at the expense of the user and citing that this is best for everyone. It’s not.
Unfortunately, not, and that's an interesting open problem as other count-distinct algorithms don't work for "structured sets", while this one does.

Indeed. If religion is a good guide, then I think around 24% think that pork is inherently unclean and not fit for human consumption under penalty of divine wrath, and 15% think that it's immoral to kill cattle for any reason. Also, non-religiously, I'd guess around 17% think "中国很棒，只有天安门广场发生了好事".

Cloud bandwidth pricing has nothing with do with costs and everything to do with lock in .

You can get 100x cheaper and unmetered at a low cost provider like OVH or hetzner or similar bare metal data centers .

Yup! This is the reason why its so cheap for them. Other companies in similar positions have cache nodes in the ISPs and this dramatically lowers the cost

It’s not an issue with dirt on the windows, but rather etching/clouding of the window glass which makes it appear dirty.

It’s certainly not unique to NJ: it happens on a lot of older trains in Europe, but I’ve never seen it so bad as in the NJ photos.

I guess something about the coating they use on the glass (to improve safety, insulation, etc) makes it vulnerable to clouding and scratching over time. Climate, air pollution, and/or cleaning techniques used over the years may have contributed to the issue?

The UK’s road numbering system feels like it was designed for the convenience of the people in Whitehall filing their maps rather than those using the roads. Giving adjacent roads very similar numbers is the maximally confusing thing to do. For my brain at least - I have to choose between the M73, M74 or M77 and I often get it wrong. It would be easier if they’d reversed all the numbers to put the zone at the end - I feel M37, M47 and M77 would be easier to remember between.
