Sure but that’s all in the future. All of the selling points of this device are in future tense. The “model” does not seem to exist, but it’s being “worked on”. Their client app was taken apart and there is nothing interesting there. Their servers were hacked into, and made to run Doom which is funny, and there is no trace of any AI model there.

One of their former engineers gave a statement that LAM is just a marketing term and nothing like that exists.

If all the selling points are in future tense at what point can we call it a scam?

Edit: also the founder’s previous gig was a crypto scam that also promised AI on the blockchain
Yup - well this is where my suggestion is to change the GPT architecture. You can think of having a logic program function as the 'frontal lobe' of the general pre-trained auto-associative model. This 'frontal lobe' region would try to come up with logical sequences to go along with it's internal auto-associative representations. Of course - the logic programming piece is just one approach - maybe chain of though or chain of reason prompting could work here too as many humans I think use this chain-of-reasoning approach themselves. Logic programming to me would function as a suggested shortcut.
This thing is incredibly invasive and is all over the Northwest and other parts of America near waterways. It spreads underground like bamboo. It’s super expensive to get rid of, because it you have to fight it for many years consistently for it to die out. And even then you may just be unlucky enough for it to spread into the area again from some adjacent area or from fragments in the water.
IMO the "not equals" is easy to misinterpret as permitting the tree.

I think something like this would clearer:

Expr =
'number'
| '(' Expr ')'
| Expr '+' Expr (bind-order: 2, assoc: left)
| Expr '-' Expr (bind-order: 2, assoc: left)
| Expr '*' Expr (bind-order: 1, assoc: left)
| Expr '/' Expr (bind-order: 1, assoc: left)

or if you want relative precedences:

Expr =
'number'
| '(' Expr ')'
| Expr '+' Expr (add, assoc: left)
| Expr '-' Expr (sub, assoc: left)
| Expr '*' Expr (mul, assoc: left)
| Expr '/' Expr (div, assoc: left)

bind-order:
mul equals div
add equals sub
mul before add

or if you want to completely separate conflict resolution (and shorter bind-order syntax, and raise a syntax error if certain operators are mixed...this one I like the most):

Expr =
'number'
| '(' Expr ')'
| Expr '+' Expr (add)
| Expr '-' Expr (sub)
| Expr '*' Expr (mul)
| Expr '/' Expr (div)
| Expr '&&' Expr (land)
| Expr '||' Expr (lor)
| Expr '==' Expr (eq)
| Expr '!=' Expr (ne)
| Expr '.' Expr (haskellDot)
| Expr '..=' Expr (range)

assoc:
left: add, sub, mul, div, land, lor, eq, ne
right: haskellDot
forbid: range

bind-order:
mul | div
add | sub
range
eq | ne
land | lor
haskellDot

forbid:
eq | ne
land | lor

I don't think GDPR is that different in that regard, you also have to minimize access to PII within the organization. See Article 25:

> The controller shall implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. That obligation applies to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility. In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual's intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons.

OK, that’s less material than I believed, which shows the details matter. But we agree that the overfit material, while limited, is stored in the model.

Of course, this can be (and surely is) mitigated by filtering the output, as long as the product is the output and not the model itself.
> thick storm clouds

Sounds like a sure fire recipe for a (permanent?) super intense electrical storm in right that spot.

Might make that specific latitude uninhabitable due to the planet turning. Though it could be worth the trade off, due to there being a bunch of available land on the planet in other latitudes.

If you have some truly huge arrays of super capacitors such a permanent electrical storm might even be useful. :)
I worked this out once!

Gravitational waves obey the inverse-square law much like most radiation does (and subject to some constraints about weird spatial geometry, but most of their propagation is going on in open flat-ish space, so we can ignore that).

GW150914, the first gravitational wave observed, had an amplitude of about 4 times 10^-22 [1], i.e., differences changed by a factor of about that. Typical sound displaces the eardrum by on the order of half a micron or so [2], with the threshold of hearing at about 100 nm. The inner ear's shape is curved, but linear length is on the order of 10 mm [3] (it curves around so the total length is longer, but the gravitational wave would be transverse along its length).

A 100 nm displacement on a 10 mm length is a relative change of (100 x 10^-9) / (10 x 10^-3) = 10^-7, that is, 4 times 10^-17 times larger than the gravitational wave detected. That gravitational wave was emitted at a distance of about 410 Mpc [1], and so we can solve:

(d / 410 Mpc)^2 = 4 x 10^-17

d^2 = 4 x 10^-17 * (410 Mpc)^2

d = 2 parsec.

Granted, this is at the limit of hearing for a very brief sound (the sound was only in the human audible range for about a tenth of a second). You'd need to be perhaps 10 times closer - about 20,000 AU - for it to be a loud sound under these assumptions.

Of course you wouldn't be around to hear it for very long because you're 20,000 AU from one of the most energetic events in the cosmos, but hey, you'd hear a brief "click". Totally worth being vaporized.

> Firstly, every time a country is getting criticized for it's human rights abuses it, like clockwork, raises the spectre of being "unjustly singled out" about it's human rights abuses.

My favorite one of these is when South Africa would say that the only reason people were angry about Apartheid was their obvious "anti-Boer prejudice." Which sounds stupid, until you remember that the British rounded up Boers and put them into concentration camps. It's still stupid, but if you accept the premise that being abused gives you the right to abuse, it's a claim as legitimate as any other of that type.

> My point is that Israel's existence, in entirety, is violence perpetrated against every country it borders with, it wars with, and who's land it sits upon.

They could have just torn down the walls, and still can. Israelis can call the resulting country Israel, and Palestinians can call it Palestine. It only requires both groups to give up any dreams of theocracy. What made the PLO and Arafat so distasteful to Israeli power players was the fact that they were secular, reasonable, and making moral arguments, not theological ones. People whose goal was to wipe out the Palestinians vastly preferred Hamas.
I agree that the locks shouldn’t be allowed. At the minimum, it should be false advertising to describe exchanging money for a DRM-infected product as a “sale”.

I'll add to this that low-paying companies tend to drastically overestimate the impact that other positive aspects of management can have on your life. I have friends. I don't need my employer to be my friend, I need my employer to pay me.

In recent years, I've worked for clients that didn't give me the information I needed to do my job and then were mad when the work was delayed. Every pay cycle I got paid and every night I went home and slept like a baby.

Contrast this with early in my career when I was at times struggling to make rent. My managers at that time weren't bad so much as unmemorable: what I remember is being unable to sleep because I was worried about how I was going to make ends meet.

The things employers do besides pay their employees usually just don't have the impact on workers' lives they sometimes think they do. Outside of egregious outliers like verbal, sexual, or physical abuse, there really isn't much a manager can do that's going to impact their workers as much as stable pay and benefits.
Another theory I have is that truly sufficiently advanced societies stop giving a shit. They figured out how to be in equilibrium with their resources and are capable of being happy that way.

Giving shits about things is one of the big reasons we have wars and other potentially civilization-ending possibilities.

Even if we are able to put 100 humans on a spacecraft for 100 years hurtling across the galaxy I'm pretty sure they'll start fighting among each other after 2 years. It's one of the reasons that I think we'll need to make embodied AGIs that are less prone to fighting to continue the legacy of civilization long term.

I don't really understand this line of thinking, but maybe we have different definitions of motivation. If you are not using motivation to do things what is the reason you to do things?

For me anything I do is because I am motivated to do it.
It does have thrusters used for orbital correction about monthly, (and maybe dodging debris here and there,) but it's fair to say that system is not for taking trips or anything.
That is quite a simplistic view.

Generally, Propaganda is used to sway opinion, get action, or similar when people may not be inclined a certain way on their own.

Ask yourself this: if there was not opposition to what Israel is doing right now, would they have made these billboards. Most likely no.

Would Rosie the Riveter happen if there was not a need for Woman in the workforce during the war?

Could keep giving examples, but you get the idea.

There are plenty of examples out there of established propaganda that isn't misleading or negative. It depends on the message they are trying to send and the action they are looking for.

> I was expressing my personal frustration and disappointment

I understood that but that's different from saying everyone is being done a disservice. When you say that, what you're actually doing is accusing them of doing mass harm to the community -- I hope you can see how that's a serious accusation that's separate from your personal frustrations.

>Open-source projects thrive on feedback, both positive and negative. It's through these discussions that developers can gauge user sentiment and make informed decisions.

The feedback has to be structured in the correct way so developers can prioritize issues and turn it into a development plan. If it's just complaining about attitudes and making generalized statements, or constantly trying to renegotiate the direction of the whole project, that stuff doesn't help.

>It seems that your feelings about "my desktop" and your emotional investment in gnome are clouding your judgment, preventing a balanced perspective.

I don't have an investment any more than anyone else who just uses Linux for work/hobbies and is more or less fine with it, actually I probably have much less investment (both financial and personal) than the stereotypical techie who buys a new iPhone or Tesla or something and gets really into it.

>If this is the sort of interaction people have with gnome enthusiasts or developers (whatever you are with your throwaway account) you can see why most people don't like to work with the community you are representing here.

Please notice that you're demonstrating extreme prejudice and creating a vicious cycle here: someone makes some negative comments, I lightly push back on them, then somehow not only am I the bad guy but suddenly I've been elected as representative for the entire community and the entire community becomes responsible for my actions too! The subtext here is that I just shouldn't say anything or express my opinions at all because by the simple act of doing that, all the past disagreements and flamewars going back decades are now my fault too!
This is stretching my imagination to a point where I don't have any practical understanding of the physics behind it.

Would the eardrum be "wiggled" in the same way as a normal mechanical wave? Does the gravitational wave apply force on the eardrum?

I feel like this has existed for all of the early influencers who continue to peddle their mediocre NYT mostly self-help bestsellers. Probably even to name a name, something that Ryan Holiday infamously wrote about early in his publishing career.

I knew a person who did some type of manipulation for their TikTok up to 550k followers in 2020-2021. They would average maybe 2k views a video(thus horrible engagement), but they would dupe many advertisers for thousands of dollars to "reach 550k followers" by peddling all sorts of useless products.

I believe this pattern is very rampant in social media and heavily manipulated, especially today for stuff nobody wants to buy but platforms are pushing consumerism/advertising. I wrote a book on how ridiculous social media is nowadays called "Enough". If anyone wants a free copy, feel free to send me an email.
> The problem is that these models weren't trained to reason.

Except they kind of were. Specifically, they were trained to predict next tokens based on text input, with the optimization function being, does the result make sense to a human?. That's embedded in the training data: it's not random strings, it's output of human reasoning, both basic and sophisticated. That's also what RLHF selects for later on. The models are indeed forced to simulate reasoning.

> don't train it to do something else and then expect it to do the thing you didn't train it for.

That's the difference between AGI and specialized AI - AGI is supposed to do the things you didn't train it to do.
US support, extraordinarily stalwart as it is, has shown its first cracks. Western allies are considerably less religiously motivated, or defense-industrial-linkage motivated, and can’t be counted on in the same way. Recent ICC news can be read as an indicator of prevailing winds.

The US is not above dropping allies when politically convenient, and as Israel burns its public image (or seeks geopolitical independence), both parties stateside can entertain anti-Zionism.

Watch what was previously far-left/right become normalized as legitimate considerations regarding US support of Israel. That Iran would entertain its recent long-range strike should tell of regional estimations of how likely the US would be to intervene, and then extrapolate from there.

I had an issue where a Rust application, which I had compiled on a Radxa ROCK 5B, would nor run on a Raspberry Pi 4; I had to compile it again for it. Both were running Ubuntu 22.04, 64 bit.

Why would that be and how would this affect these Arm64 compiles on GitHub?

If you compile a normal application for amd64, it will work on any 64 bit Intel and AMD machine, unless you start using specialized features, which wasn't the case in the above mentioned case.
The typical area where this comes up is 17 USC 1201(a)(2); "No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that" [breaks DRM]. "Otherwise traffic" is a big universe of actions, as is "offer to the public."

The courts that handled the DeCSS cases (code that broke DVD encryption) allowed that code like DeCSS was speech protected by the First Amendment, but basically ruled that the functional aspect of the code meant it gets lesser protection. Posting the code, but even just linking to somewhere else it could be found, were both found to violate the DMCA, and that restriction was found to be permitted by the First Amendment.
You don't understand! It's different!
> What most companies are really looking for is undervalued high performers.

I'm not sure about that, since very smart people often tend to be, well, "a little bit difficult to handle", in particular by bosses who got to their position by office politics instead of merits (as many do).

If companies were really looking for high performers, they'd create an environment where high performers can really flourish. Because in my observation there exist quite a lot of high performers who are "held down" by their current work environment, this would attract quite some potential high performers, including undervalued ones.
How confident are we that these aren’t new organisms that arose from the same mechanisms that birthed the ancient ones? That is, are we sure these don’t resemble the first kinds of life because they were formed recently themselves?
I was wondering the same thing but this is only the second video on the account.
> You can always sell your RSU immediately to get cash.

This is not true at all. My current company is privately held and has RSUs. Over the last two years there has been a single buyback and it was at a fixed closed market price and we were limited to selling 10% of our vested RSUs. Lots of startups flipped to RSUs with no plan to go public or be bought out in the last few years.

Additionally, even if your company is stable RSUs are frought with issues like what happened two orgs ago where a blackout period started and our stock went into a 30% free fall during the blackout and never recovered. We ended up getting a tender offer, the company sold to private equity and unvested shares were clawed back

This is so silly. Reading comments like these, you’d think everyone on HN is a perfect human, without flaws and liked by everyone. I’m glad someone like Elon doesn’t spend his time reading stuff like this and instead spends most of his time kicking ass. In the long run, his results will continue to speak for him.

> Notably, humans also underperform Transformers on recall tasks...

Thank you. Yes, that's obviously true... but keep in mind that human beings can pull up information from notes, books, URLs, etc. and store that information in "short-term memory" at any time, as needed, for cognitive tasks. To match or exceed peak human performance, AI models must be able to do that too -- whether it's via a long context window or some other mechanism (e.g., searching on external storage) is a secondary issue. I'd say recall is a prerequisite to match peak human performance.
The DMCA does not apply in Canada, so I'm not sure if telling someone how to break the lock is illegal.

Being a Canadian, I really should look this up. That being said, I try to avoid situations where I would want to break a digital lock. There are plenty of alternatives encumbered media, provided that you don't have your heart set on a particular product. For example, many publishers offer unencumbered ebooks. Library books do have DRM, but it is pretty much a given that some sort of access control is needed since the books are on loan.
