What it says on the tin: psychosis triggered by cannabis. Its rare, but not that rare, and well established scientifically and anecdotally. It's debated whether cannabis causes it, or just exacerbates it, but give 100 random people a super strong edible, a few will have a break from reality.

It would be easy to flip a couple GitHub repos to "public" and call it a day.

It would be easy to wipe proprietary IP from the latest version, shove whatever's left in a ZIP file, and upload it somewhere online.

It would be easy to do literally nothing except publish instructions on how to wipe the flash. That alone would be enough to allow some clever people online to get a normal Android installation onto these things.

Somehow, all of these options are too much for Spotify to stomach. Shameful.

Honestly, I forgot Car Thing even existed. I hardly remembered it at all. Given how my car is over 20 years old and I make extensive use of Spotify while driving, I imagine I was probably the target audience for Car Thing. Makes me wonder if Car Thing's biggest problem was marketing.

The really annoying part is, your story really isn't that uncommon, or even that crazy - not to belittle your struggles, of course, but I've heard far wilder stories of people struggling to success.

Anyway I wouldn't waste your time too much with GP. They won't believe anything you say without you actually providing physical proof of some sort - and even then I'm sure they'd try and poke holes in it.

Oh well. I for one am glad to hear how much better things are for you, and wish you luck in the future :)

Vape smoke doesn't have to be weed, it could be nicotine which is also very common, and also better than smoking a cigarette.

I do agree that no one should be inebriated while driving though.
> Tenure precedes peer review afaik

Um, no. Tenure decisions turn largely on publication record, which turns on peer review.

> Citations exist independently of peer review

To cite something there has to be something to cite. It is of course possible to cite a non-peer-reviewed publication, but in academia this is heavily frowned upon. Non-peer-reviewed is generally considered synonymous with crackpottery.

> Pick 10 random bureaucrats

I meant do you think it's possible to "shmooze [your] way onto the grant review board" without a publication record in the real world, not some counterfactual world where you have stacked the deck.

> the replication crises has many origins and isn’t just the fault of peer reviews

I didn't say it was just the fault of peer review. What I said was that peer review was "probably in no small measure responsible for [the] replication crises", and I stand by that.
The tool you are describing is what I am trying to build at https://github.com/alexpovel/srgn . The idea is a compromise between regex (think ripgrep) and grammar awareness (through tree-sitter).
> I don't care if there's a buried flag that enables or disables this behaviour. I want a binary that doesn't have this capability in it at all.

That's a rather absurd way of approaching the threat model of data exfiltration on a terminal app.

By its very definition a terminal needs the ability to spawn unsandboxed processes and send/receive input from/to them, including processes that have network access. Even if the binary doesn't contain specific logic to do this it could invoke curl, or a variety of other binaries that do, either on purpose or accidentally. In addition, it links against AppKit, which includes NSURLRequest. Is that off-limits too?

If one's this allergic to OpenAI, that even an opt-in feature is a concern, they're better off using a firewall like Little Snitch, or blocking it at the DNS level.

Additionally, if you don't trust the developer with this, why would you trust a binary from them without this feature?
I am fully aware that eventually I will need to engage with it -- not least because I want to be teaching.

But I'm really interested in finding a maximally-ethical way through it all. The MagPi magazine has just started an article series about applications of ethical, non-infringing models and on-device AI, so I think there must be an emerging trend line around that.

Though whenever I see people talking about ethical AI stewardship the debate seems to be about one specific corporation which is run by a guy who launched a "let us scan your iris and we'll give you crypto" business.
Yes, I read the article. That's the worrying one that also needs to be appealed.
Wi-Fi Sensing (802.11bf) was scheduled for WiFi 7, which is present in recently announced "AI PCs". It works best with an on-device "AI" NPU that can perform inference on WiFi radar signals reflected from local humans and objects, to infer surrounding movement, breathing, keystrokes, location & more. It wasn't mentioned in recent device announcements, so perhaps the device firmware and algorithms are awaiting regulatory approval?

It then uses that information to detect the presence of a person near a device, even if the person is sitting silently without moving.

This must mean psychosis correlated with cannabis use in a controversial way, complicated by matters of genetics, environment, the use of other drugs, and pre-existing psychiatric conditions. It means schizophrenia, and possibly other forms of long-term psychosis but I'm not sure what those are. Delusions of persecution? But that isn't very different.
At some point, given the universe's expansion, galaxies will be moving away so fast that the observable universe will be just one galaxy. Already, the effective rate from galaxies far away is actually faster than the speed of light. Even at light speeds, we cannot reach 94% of them as we would never catch up if we left today. In cosmic scales of many billions of years, observers on every galaxy will eventually think that their galaxy is the only one that has ever existed.

Large distance and time scales are rather gloomy.

We just had elections a few months ago, it went great. And if it wasn't, that's the great thing about democracies, in a few years it changes.

Not for Russians though which I have no idea if you are or not, but you're very resentful of Western countries (its common on some Russians, Indians, etc...) Maybe you should look more at the shortcomings of the regime you're stuck with, and don't worry about the others who are doing great.

This is especially funny since you're using the privilege of a Western-made platform, most likely with Western tech.
It's interesting that Anjan compared the display tech to Pebble, because selling off the company instead of just the IP is where Pebble completely failed consumers. Pebble had something incredibly special, and then Fitbit bought Pebble and (for reasons I don't know) immediately killed all their projects and shelved all their tech. In a different reality, Anjan would have said, "Think of it as a Godzilla sized Fitbit watch with a decade of improvement". Selling just the screens seems like the obvious play here

That was Starlink. The satellite tracking app I have predicted it pretty much perfectly. There was a launch out of Vandenberg early Wednesday, just after midnight. My guess is that it was so bright because the satellites haven't really started dispersing yet.
I was curious as to how it works, so I implemented here:
turingmachine.io/?import-gist=c862f28918f3d889f964797694d28fcc

If you run it for a bit you see what's going on, State B turns 0's into 2's and 1's into 1's transitioning to C and state C turns 3 -> 2's and transitions to A. So you just iteratively lengthen your run of 3's exponentially since it requires a full pass through all the 3's to fix a 2->1.
they can.

you can’t.
I had just remembered it existed recently, glad I didn't look into getting one. My assumption was that it had lost support but would work indefinitely, how naive of me.
Yeah I was wondering exactly this when reading this article. Are we ever going to investigate whether this is an intentional act by the CCP to surreptitiously weaken parts of our population?

If so, that would be egregious.

Please don't post like this, for a couple reasons: one is that it "never does any good and makes boring reading", as the site guidelines have said for many years: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

The other reason is that in cases where a comment didn't deserve to be downvoted (which you're right, was the case here), fair-minded users will usually come along and give the post a corrective upvote (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Which fixes the problem except then comments like your reply here linger on as inaccurate—there's no garbage collector to take care of them.

> silently follows LLVM/platform behavior

This is not the case. It's two's compliment overflow.

Also, since we're being pedantic here: it's not actually about "debug mode" or "release mode", it is tied to a flag, and compilers must have that flag on in debug mode. This gives the ability to move release mode to also produce the flag in the future, if it's decided that the overhead is worth it. We'll see if it ever is.

> Huh, doesn't that sound familiar?

Nope, it is completely different from undefined behavior, which gives the compiler license to do anything it wants. These are well defined semantics, the polar opposite of UB.

I didn't realize that western values included apartheid regimes oppressing people. The examples show that this has been going on for a lot longer than Hamas has existed and that Israel is always the aggressor

Are you fine with Israel knowingly and purposefully attacking and killing US naval officers?

First you said I was spewing bullshit which implies falsehoods, but now the things I claim are true but they're just fine? That's nuts

You say they share western values, does that include freedom of the press? Do we kill journalists purposefully in the western world? Which values, precisely, are you referring to? Because I don't see them

Unless you mean to say that they aren't Muslim, which is what I see from a lot of the Zionist crowd

Not to mention, it isn't about the values of Hamas but the value of the lives of the Palestinian people. Israel has been oppressing and killing them for decades

No, it has nothing to do with "legislators". The "reasonable man" standard is all over case law, and there are about a bazillion cases where attorneys have argued that their client's behavior was "reasonable", even when it was manifestly not so by the standards of an actual reasonable man.

This makes me sad. I lived in Bawldamer, B.C. (Before Crack). It has always been a tough town, but back then, I could walk my skinny white ass through the toughest neighborhoods, and not worry. Truth be told, I looked pretty scruffy, back then (student daze). I really enjoyed the town.

These days, the town is pretty scary. Even in the nice parts of downtown, you can turn a corner, and it's The Wire. I have heard Vegas is similar, if you go even a block off The Strip.

When it comes to drug policy, everyone has their axe to grind, pet theory, or scam going. Very, very few folks in actual positions of authority have a clue (or even want to know the real deal).

Incredible! They use a massive arc furnace (used for steel recycling) to recycle concrete. They suggest that solar power could power the arc furnaces, resulting in zero emission concrete. As concrete currently constitutes 7.5% of anthropogenic carbon emissions, this tech could make a big difference.

Arc furnaces are crazy energy intensive. But if solar power keeps doubling every 2 years, we will very soon have way more power than we know what to do with (at certain times in the day). Arc furnaces are a good way to suck up the negative electricity spot prices!

Notable 2023 Events as Seen from Space
It's impossible to evaluate the author though since we didn't get any information. For all I know the high level contacts also didn't have time to concentrate and just told to "report it".

But there are strong and confident claims from the author "What do I do with this powerful and potentially dangerous prompt".

So is the output or result of this prompt anything more than what you would get from high temperature settings?

It's hard for me to think of a security vulnerability here.

Also the example links about prompt attacks etc are about getting past an LLMs censorship. I don't think these are security flaws. The reason why LLMs like these have censorship is just basic PR. I don't think it's a huge issue if it's possible to bypass and ask steps to do something illegal. If anyone seriously wants to do that, they will find a way outside the ChatBot anyway.

Anyone willing to go to Darkweb to get this prompt attack and then use the prompt attack in the actual LLM itself where it might get logged would only put them at risk of getting caught compared to if they just read the instructions on how to do illegal things on Darkweb.

>By definition your predictions will be more accurate the smaller the window is.

Small nit, and this doesn't detract from your points. I don't think this is universally true by definition, even if it is almost always true. You could come up with some rare conditions where your traffic at t+5 minutes is actually easier to predict than at t+20 seconds. Of course, even in that case you're better off (ceteris paribus) being able to spin things up in 20 seconds.

You still have to take the action to enable the AI features even if you just have a " " character in that field, no? It doesn't send anything to openAI until you open the prompt for it to do so.

Exactly wrong; it's the job of the law to "be careful," not of the people.

Those of us accusing and talking about it have no power -- thus there is literally no harm, and possible good in, putting them on the defense about this.

Someone suggested adding a comparison to the backtest results, showing the profit and loss from buying and holding the asset versus the profit and loss from the user-defined strategy. I think this is really interesting to see.

> Um, no. Tenure decisions turn largely on publication record, which turns on peer review.

I'm pretty sure your parent meant that the concept of tenure precedes the concept of peer review. However, this too seems to be false, according to the repository of truth, Wikipedia, which says that:

> The first record of an editorial pre-publication peer-review is from 1665 by Henry Oldenburg, the founding editor of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society at the Royal Society of London.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholarly_peer_review) but:

> Tenure was introduced into American universities in the early 1900s in part to prevent the arbitrary dismissal of faculty members who expressed unpopular views.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_tenure).

The biggest use of types, for me, is being able to read code more easily. Right now, I'm elbow deep in some old PHP code, and it is painful trying to trace the flow of data through a system.

Can you share some insights on what the issues were?
There's some wild disconnect here. The author found a bug that causes the chatbot to "babble":

> The chatbot started out fine – for the first few words in its response. Then it descended into a babble-like madness. Which went on and on and on and on and … on. Somehow, it couldn't even stop babbling.

Anyone that's tweaked parameters on local LLMs via e.g. llama.cpp can tell you that it's easy to have a model fall into babbling with the wrong params. I often get this when I try out a new model and restart my server, but my test webUI retains settings from a previous GGUF because I didn't refresh.

But let's be clear: the bug is that the model babbles. But here's the intro that the author justifies with this bug:

> It would appear that the biggest technological innovation since the introduction of the world wide web a generation ago has been productized by a collection of fundamentally unserious people and organizations who appear to have no grasp of what it means to run a software business, nor any desire to implement any of the systems or processes needed to affect that seriousness.
