Lung cancer is not the death penalty that it use to be if you are “lucky” to have one of the mutations that this, and other similar drugs, target.
100% Correct. People all too often look at Congress and say "gee, they aren't passing all the things I want them to do, therefore Congress must be broken!"

This fails to realize Congress works entirely the way it was designed. As you said, inaction == lack of consensus.

Imaging running a country where significant ways of life (influenced by laws) change willy-nilly depending on the flavor of the day? The legal whiplash would be absurd.

So, people often look to the president as some sort of king analog, and demand action via Executive Order - then cry foul when the next president undoes the previous one's EO's... it's lunacy and not a good way to run a society.
>where we were told "no worries, take your time to read a chapter a week and take an hour to talk about it.

Maybe because I've been a reader my whole life, but I can't imagine getting value out of reading a chapter a week. It's rare for me to read less than 1 book per week. Even if it were a technical or educational book, one chapter at a time is a miserable way to read something.
Open Source AI Policy for Startups?
I'm looking for open sourced policies for tech startups around AI systems. What are companies allowing and not allowing. How do they roll out new AI systems? How do they think about and control things like IP and Data Governance. Any docs out there that are being worked on in public? I am writing my own with my dev teams right now, but the whole company also wants AI systems. I've seen inside dozens of companies at a leadership level over the last few years and everyone is facing the same problemss, addressing the same concerns, and developing the same docs. Seems like a collab appropach will be better.
Campaign microtargeting and AI can jeopardize democracy
It's true. I've integrated ChatGPT into my report writing work flow, and about all it's good for is brainstorming, and quickly formatting ideas. You've got to do the hard work yourself.
Don't confuse the linux distro term Stable, with Stability. They are unrelated.
Holding up Brave as some sort of privacy-preserving, ad-blocking replacement to Chrome is a complete joke and 100% untrue.
Indeed. In general the problem people have with WEP and GPO isn't that the reductions exist, it's where the lines are drawn. We're still using the first pass of a system that was cooked up four decades ago. (the larger point to my OP was that defined benefit pensions are not necessarily the amazing thing people assume they are - I'm happy to avoid them)
Of course. If ChatGPT worked for this problem, I’d be in human-machine interface heaven.

Oh well.

That's not how the opposition is undoes something. The opposition reduces funding and scope and passes legislation that effectively nullifies previous laws.

The reason Republicans are mentioned above is that they have a well documented public history of endorsing and carrying out these kinds of shenanigans. Democrats, though cut from the same cloth, somehow manage to be one step above on an imaginary decency scale.
ClarisWorks had a "communications" module which is effectively a serial terminal, and which supported sending and receiving files. I'm not sure if it internally supported MacBinary, but it'd at least be enough to get files off the system.
It would be nice to have a confidence level for pieces of information, like humans have
Again and again we see that LLMs are great for creative output and terrible for anything where correctness matters. You should only use it for the latter scenarios when generating answers is slow/hard/expensive, but verification of answers is quick/easy/cheap. Probabilistic and non-deterministic answers have their place, but these companies marketing them in products need to do a better job expressing the limitations.
Snowflake internal staff do not have access to read customer data, unless a customer grants it. Customers can use their own KMS to generate table keys.

Snowflake has a lot of security features. But still, customers may well misconfigure their own Snowflake accounts and therefore be vulnerable.

A well configured Snowflake account:

- does not allow any access from the public Internet. Network policies set by the customer should restrict access to corporate networks only.
- does not allow authentication unless with MFA or via corporate IDP / SAML
- has dynamic masking / tokenisation

Snowflake seems to have most of the Fortune 500 as customers. If Snowflake itself was somehow penetrated and all controls circumvented, it would certainly be huge and you'd be reading about a lot more than Santander and Ticketmaster.

At this point it seems more like the "AWS Hack" that affected CapOne back in the day (that was CapOne's fault, not AWS!).
Wayland also doesn't have a video capture interface as part of the standard. E.G. for Remote Desktop style applications (you might even use such if part of a video conference). Instead that's left up to the compositors, and therefore potentially not supported or possibly every compositor could have their own standard.

Indeed,

If an organization doesn't care if their pronouncements are bs, they would opt for AI and thing have to definitely be right, they'd opt for a human.

Logically, the jobs of lawyers are safe but the job of marketers are already looking doubtful.

The worst situation is when an organization can calculate that producing bs won't hard them but where there are people still harmed by the bs.
I have no idea what connection you’re drawing there.

I don't know how else to get this message across, but it does this all the time in all subjects.

It doesn't just occasionally hallucinate mistakes. The mechanism by which it makes non-mistakes is identical and it can't tell the difference.

There is no profession where you a) you shouldn't prefer an expert over ChatGPT and b) you won't find experts idiotically using ChatGPT to reduce their workloads.

This is why it's a grotesquely inappropriately positioned and marketed set of products.
A "0-ohm resistor" could also be more clearly called a "conductor", but it's not, despite its electrical function.

I suppose it's because the mechanical function is more salient: it is a standard SMD part like other resistors, capacitors, LEDs, etc, not a conductor etched on the PCB.

I'd be interested to see other examples of Lexis+ AI failures, because I thought the example answer shown in the article appeared to be the "least wrong" one given that the answer was correct until Dobbs was decided less than 2 years ago.

I'm not in the LLM training space, but I'd also think that that kind of failure would be the easiest to fix, i.e. instead of starting out with "Currently...", start out with "As of <date>..."
Could you not just fire the people who are not like that and hire the people who are? If not, I think you might not have enough power in the organization! Seek more power!

Because I would still like another way to look for them. Is this a serious question?
That is hard to hear, given how unacceptable it seems to us to waste this hardware, but it's frustratingly true. Lots of devices have been made and EOLd which had reusability potential after that happened, devices which nobody went to much trouble to lock down, and yet we all know 99% of them went in the landfill anyway. Even the ones 'hacked' will probably go in the landfill anyway, just a couple years later. Unless we really believe that those of us nerds who reflash them, are truly using those devices as a substitute for some new gadget we would have purchased. Somehow I doubt this is usually true.

As an example, how many old hacked Wii consoles are being actively used today in a way that makes us genuinely believe that someone is using it as a substitute for a new gaming console? And that sucker, by the time all of its official support ended, was so simple to hack that I think it's equivalent to an officially unlocked bootloader.
Don’t they hint at how it happened in what you quoted?

> performed with our customers’ user credentials that were exposed through unrelated cyber threat activity

Unless they are just making this up, they seem to think that credentials were obtained elsewhere. They also say at the end that they told customers to review their account settings. So they are directing the blame away from themselves.

You’re right that this seems to conflict with Hudson Rock. Unfortunately our sources are the company that allegedly was hacked and a company that shamelessly doxed an employee in the course of using this event to promote their product. I think we’ll need to wait for more details.
This is not true. Sure, humans can lie or get things wrong. But normal people will also admit when they don't know something. LLMs tend not to admit when they don't know something, and they use an authoritative voice that sounds like they know what they're talking about. To an untrained person, this can easily be misleading.
You can try going into proxy settings and setting to "none" instead of autodetect. Also, the dns server used by the browser could be different (and slower).
LLMs hallucinate on legal questions because they hallucinate on everything.

Hallucination isn't a special weird form of error: it's the entire process by which LLMs work. Proponents and enthusiasts just call the errors "hallucinations" because it sounds better than admitting "this technology makes no distinction between correct and incorrect, and will often incorrectly correct itself when an error is pointed out".
I see what you're saying, I just don't agree about the incentives.

The donors want to get a tax break, and I suspect lack even token concern about what happens to the goods as long as they get that tax break.

The store and charity want money in exchange for those donated goods. They don't care who is paying nor why, they just want the money.

If the volunteers are picking up all of the items worth anything, that's likely fine with all of the involved parties other than other customers. The donors are still getting tax breaks, the charity is still getting their money. The stuff left over wasn't going to sell anyways (otherwise customers would still come in to buy that stuff).

The volunteers are still customers, they're just also unpaid employees.

> This is also why these stores don't like people shopping with price-comparison scanners.

Anecdata, but the ones I've been to don't care. There's about a 50/50 split in my area between stores that pay employees to pick out anything obviously valuable before selling the rest, and stores that have presumably decided it's better/easier to just leave everything intact and sell as is.

I still go sometimes, because there's a wide range of items that either their employees don't know to pick or just aren't worth trying to resell. Eg they almost always pass over 3D printer filament (maybe because of shipping costs), so I buy it up for ~$5/kg. There's really quite a few niches that they either don't think are worth reselling or just lack the knowledge to know to resell.
>I think a better solution would have been to use the serial port rather than the modem port to send a fax.

From what I could Google, that laptop doesn't have a traditional RS-232 serial port but a DIN-8 RS-422 serial port. Still, it's serial, it's standard and very well documented, easy to acquire and easy to hook up.

I'd definitely would have used that instead to transfer data, especially since I could find USB to RS-422 port converters online easy and cheap[1]. I'm not sure why the author didn't try this, or maybe he tried but had no app to serialize file transfers?

Feels like a missing lead the article doesn't touch on.

It's been hinted at elsewhere but sometimes problems come in stages, and later stages are only revealed after finishing the first stage. If you've only finished stage 1 after 40 mins, they may be looking for the candidate who's already wrapped up stage 2 and is on to discussing improvements by that time.
Not only is it still possible to paper file, almost half of taxpayers still paper-file their returns, and a lot of them filled out the returns manually (by hand) on a paper copy of the return.
I feel like the "sometimes" suggests that in most cases we should zealously not dry things, but in some cases we might want to. Doesn't that make you curious what cases those might be?
A manager with 100% meetings is often one of a few cases:

1. They use useless meetings as shields for their time. That is, I can put myself on a meeting that I never attend so that I am less likely to be booked for that time. I will often have time blocks on my calendar because I work in functional workplaces for me, but this can be useful in toxic environments.

2. They have additional project/product management responsibilities. This is common for platform teams that they don't have PM support and have to wrangle people themselves.

3. They're really working 50+ hours a week and do their real work afterwards or before. This is common in places that oversubscribe managers. (I've hat 15 and even 25 reports before. I've even seen 50.)

4. They don't know how to say no and guard their time. This is common with younger managers.

McCarthy warned us about this.
I think it's unlikely:

* If Hudson Rock is to be believed, with the chat screenshot, Snowflake was notified and asked for a ransom. It would seem odd that all their 400 customers were all hacked randomly at the same time, by only one hacker group just based on those customers' own bad credentials

* They enumerate all the possible ways they were not hacked, and seems to skips the exact one way they were hacked. It's like saying: "It wasn't A, C, D, E, or F" as the causes. Hmm, they skipped B it seems, I wonder why...

That's interesting, I'm not actually sure how a community pool would really exist without an entity that's responsible for it (either an HOA, the city/county, or a private club).

> How is anything you get into willingly an infringement on your rights?

Sure, once you sign the contract you've agreed to it. My point is just that it seems unreasonable for an HOA to effectively claim authority or ownership over a piece of property. I once lived in an HOA neighborhood that was in legal proceedings with a neighbor who refused to play along, the neighborhood was pretty damn close to foreclosing on the property before the owner finally sold and left.

The EV example is still very different though. Buyers can choose to but any vehicle they want, there is no higher authority attempting to claim authority over some vehicles and requiring you submit to their rules and pay a membership fee. Buy an EV or don't, its totally up to the buyer. Additionally, when an EV owner wants to sell they aren't limited to the pool of buyers willing to join a private club, you just sell the car.
Let's put it this way: we wouldn't call it hacking if he had held on to his badge/keys to the building and got the information that way.
seeing a lot of bad takes in the comments but from enterprise sales point of view: companies aren't buying or trusting LLMs

1 out of 6 times the blackbox produces completely wonky/risky output. Yet it costs far far more to fix the changes introduced by the blackbox including the hallucinations.

This is the blockchain argument all over again I see in the comments. Literally just swap it out for AI/LLM and it feels like the crypto bubble peak

What AI hype is doing is giving companies to massively garnish white collar wages by making everybody think it can (when in reality AI cannot replace a sentient human interface completely) extrapolating to wild science fiction novels. A bit disappointing to see, thought reddit would be more for this type of speculation.
I mean that’s kind of on meta, as a customer I shouldn’t really have to care about the internals of the company. If a disgruntled employee lies to customers, that shouldn’t be the customers problem either. To me, that’s all just a statement by the company.

I suspect that the more you looked into what specific judges do the less you would trust them. It's rare that a judge gets much media attention outside of major scandals ('cash for kids' for example) and most people would struggle to even name one who wasn't a supreme court justice. We're far more familiar with the shortcomings of our representatives so we're less trusting of them. That doesn't make judges more worthy of trust though.

There's not much press going on for this breach yet. I've never heard of Hudson Rock until I read their report about Snowflake today. Only reputable outlet I've seen make an article yet is BleepingComputer.
There's no evidence of that at all. The screenshot shows a few Snowflake professional services demo accounts only. These are accounts used by the sales engineer to demo features to customers.

It's possible the attacker was able to deduce some information about certain customers, but they would not then be able to connect to those accounts to extract data as those accounts should not be accessible from the public Internet at all, and should require corporate authentication.

I was wondering about the practicalities indeed. Not everyone knows when their OS or applications decided it is now a great time to update. You'll have a phone in your pocket that is unnecessarily using all the bandwidth it can get its hands on, or maybe you're using the phone but just don't realise that watching a 720p video, while barely functional, also means the person trying to load it after you cannot watch even 480p anymore (you might not notice because you've got buffer and they'll give up before their buffer is filled enough to start playing).

It seems as though there should be accounting so you at least know what % of traffic went to you in the last hour (and a reference value of bandwidth_available divided by connected_users so you know what % was your share if everyone had equal need of it), if not a system that deprioritises everyone unless you punched the button that says "yes I'm aware what bandwidth I'm using in the next [X≤24] hour(s) and actually need it, thank you" which'll set the QoS priority for your MAC/IP address to normal

If you look at the tax situation across the states, the party split makes a bit more sense. Of the states involved in the pilot program, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and (to some extent) Washington do not have individual income tax. Also, Arizona and New Hampshire both have a flat rate income tax, which I readily admit knowing nothing about, but which I presume simplifies them being part of the pilot. So California, Massachusetts, and New York are the only states which have a variable tax rate and also opted in, and are also all about as Democrat leaning as it gets.
