Particularly for this specific type of issue so long as the response is still trained to be in the form "There is a high chance this information is wrong in a way that will kill you if you try to eat it but it looks like..." then I don't see "There is a high chance this information is wrong in a way that will kill you if you try to eat it so I can't respond..." as being a better response. I.e. the value in this example comes not from complete censorship but from training on the situation being risky, not from me deciding what information is too unsafe for you to know.
Also depending on the cryptosystem, nonce requirements vary wildly. For example using 1, 2, 3, 4... as a nonce for CTR is a recipe for disaster, but it's fine for many asymmetric ciphers.
> Since the license the Nuvia IP was built on became void when the company changed ownership, the IP is not built on a valid license.

Here's where the wording gets confusing.

ARM has their own IP: their core designs, ISA (?), etc.

ARM also has licensing of that IP.

ARM also has platform licensing: allowing others to implement their ISA, call themselves ARM-compatible, etc.

Nuvia built a product, with an ARM license (because they wanted to go to market).

Did they also incorporate ARM IP into their design (i.e. extend existing ARM core designs)?

But neither of those should matter... because afaik Qualcomm already has an architecture ARM license (one of the few, ~15). [0]

Consequently, if Qualcomm already has an architecture license to the core Nuvia built on... that's a superset of any license Nuvia had, given that an architecture license allows for unlimited customizability.

Consequently, this feels like ARM trying to defend their (future) revenue by retroactively limiting licenses they already sold.

They seem to have totally recreated the hull using a different manufacturing method in late 2020/early 2021: https://www.wired.com/story/titan-submersible-disaster-insid...

They seem to have run fewer tests on the new hull, though. From the outside, it looks like one of the lessons they learned from earlier tests was that tests can create bad news, so if you're optimizing for the best reports back to investors you should stop running tests.
This is a "truthy" statement that sounds right but is, in fact, false. Radio systems have an easily measurable SNR, but the noise cannot be eliminated.
Indeed, I agree. That "actually incredibly good advice" was more a case of a broken clock being correct than anything else IMO. Nonetheless, buying anything over AMC or GME at the time were good moves. The advice to not buy garbage was sound. Since then, AMC is down some 90%+ (and not to mention is now extremely diluted - there is no hope of recovery in price there). GME was rocking the $90 range and would be down now by more than 50%.
I'm not sure if you're supposed to have an emotional reaction. The delayed reviews combined with the head of business operations leaving, the rumors of missed revenue targets and lower ad quality speaks to financial difficulties. People are worried about further lay offs and the all-hands didn't really assuage concerns.

Twitter as a business would probably be fine and cash flow positive, but it has a billion dollar annual debt servicing weighing it down.
> If your implication is that as a tool, LLMs shouldn't have safeties built in that is a pretty asinine take. We build and invest in safety in tools across every spectrum.

Sure. Railings so people don't fall off catwalks, guards so people using the table saw don't chop off fingers. But these "safeties" aren't safeties at all... because regardless of whether they're in place or not, the results are just strings of words.

It's a little bit revealing, I think, that so many people want that others shouldn't get straight answers to questions. What is it that you're afraid that they'll ask? It'd be one thing if you insisted the models be modified so that they're factually correct. If someone asks "what's a fun thing to do on a Saturday night that won't get me into too much trouble" it probably shouldn't answer "go murder orphans and sell their corneas to rich evil people on the black market". But when I ask "what's going on in Israel and Palestine", the idea that it should be lobotomized and say "I'm afraid that I can't answer that, as it seems you're trying to elicit material that might be used for antisemitic purposes" is the asinine thing.

Societies that value freedom of speech and thought shouldn't be like this.

> If you want a tool without a specific safety measure, then learn how to build them.

This is good advice, given in bad faith. Even should the physical hardware be available to do that for any given person, the know-how's hard to come by. And I'm sure that many models are either already censored or soon will be for anyone asking "how do I go about building my own model without safety guards". We might even soon see legislation to that effect.

It made sense to declare that it lacks standing, but this case shouldn't even have been before the court - imagine if you could just say "Oh, I decided Jim Smith owes me a billion dollars" with no justification and somehow the US Supreme Court thinks they need to hear that to see if they should intervene, rather than tell you to fuck off.

The court never needed to even hear this, increasingly a GOP-controlled court wants to take every opportunity to see if there's some sliver of a reason why they can meddle in the business of other government entities, and isn't interested in boring minutiae of actual legal decisions.

A hundred years ago, a season of US Supreme Court decisions might have one political hot potato and most of the rest of its work is boring technical decisions which are building a sophisticated legal framework that can be used in lower courts to explain how things need to work. This is useful (but not very exciting) work, well suited to an actual independent final court with more than ten very knowledgeable judges and nothing else to fill their days. My favourite example from the UK's Supreme Court, they decided what sort of crime could possibly deserve a punishment of imprisonment without possibility of parole - they decided it should be multiple distinct murders, such as if you were a serial killer or you killed somebody and then when you were paroled for that you decided to kill the people who caught you the first time as well.

But today the US Supreme Court barely finds any time for such things, those don't generate "buzz" and get you another free luxury vacation from a "close friend" who didn't know you until you mattered. Now it's "Can we find an excuse to fuck with Biden?" and "Is there a way to give my 'friend' what he wants?" with the result that of course the general public increasingly no longer see the Rule Of Law as a good thing in the US.

I have a feeling that a good number of the present US Supreme Court, maybe even a majority, would have William Roper's side of the argument in "A Man For All Seasons". Roper argues that "I'd cut down every law in England to [catch the devil]" and More asks what he'd do when the Devil turns on him, as would inevitably happen, where would he hide, with no law?
There is this fork which has a few different languages and some other cool features. I believe the non-english quotes are mostly machine translations of the quotes in my repo.

That's what you'd do if you wanted to try and improve the captions, not if you wanted to evaluate the LLM's quality.
The preferred technique seems to still be to train a base model on any data you can get your hands on, and add the "safety" alignment as a second training step. As long as that alignment is a small fine tuning compared to the initial training I wouldn't be worried about the model losing the ability to be uncensored.
This is more of a `screen` replacement than a `tmux` replacement, yeah? Was hopeful for an actual replacement (no, not iterm) to tmux.

FWIW this part is true, but sort of mixed up. It's not really "wayland" that's at issue (Wayland surfaces are just shared memory like they are with any other compositor). It's that the Android GPU HAL wasn't designed with the sharing of contexts in mind, and so getting accelerated rendering out of the VM isn't a natural thing.

And this isn't my area, and I have no expertise to offer except to say that I too am hopeful folks work this out in both a HAL- and open-source friendly way.

And also to say that I'm running routine wayland apps on a chromebook every day and they render and composite just great with Mesa/LLVMPipe contexts, even things like e.g. STL slicers you'd expect to want the GPU. The need for acceleration is real, but limited to some special use cases.

The original AI reasoning challenge (ARC) that predates the one recently discussed here on HN by only a year has been solved. And I have no doubt that the new one will also be solved at some point in the near future. Every time someone comes up with a supposed "AGI test" and eventually gets beaten, they just move the goalpost instead of admitting that perhaps human intelligence is not so special after all. It will probably take something truly superhuman that vastly outclasses even the smartest humans in every conceivable way before the remaining majority of humanity will dare to admit that they are now the lesser intelligence.
This is a good explanation.

Let's not move the goalposts here :-) The context is an audio codec, not heavyweight web applications, in response to your question "Are there really many situations where a 10kbps connection would actually be stable enough to be usable?" And I'm saying yes, in that context, there are many situations, like VoIP, where 10kbps is usable.

Nobody here would argue that 10kbps is usable today for the "typical" browser-based Internet use.

Slurm is definitely still dominant, but OpenAI has been using k8s for training for many years now¹, and there are various ways to run slurm on top of Kubernetes, including the recent SUNK from coreweave²

at my company we use slurm "directly" for static compute we rent or own (i.e. not in a public cloud), but are considering using Kubernetes because that's how we run the rest of the company, and we'd rather invest more effort into being better at k8s than becoming good slurm admins.

Isn't that kind of the ideal cycle though? From what I recall, consoles operate on the gilette model, ie the console is sold at a loss and games are the breadwinner.

In this case, better to reduce early sales which are sold at a loss (production being expensive, significant R&D, scale being low), maximise at the end of the life when i assume they are maximising profits per console due to scale and R&D already being covered.
I think you’re misreading OP, as he says 380 packets per minute, not second. That would give you an overhead of 253 bytes per second, sounds a lot more reasonable.

I have read the eleven freedoms.

I refuse freedom 9 - the obligation for systems I build to be independent of my personal and ethical goals.

I won't build those systems. The systems I build will all have to be for the benefit of humanity and the workers, and opposing capitalism. On top of that it will need to be compatible with a harm reduction ethic.

If you won't grant me the right to build systems that I think will help others do good in the world, then I will refuse to write open source code.

You could jail me, you can beat me, you can put a gun in my face, and I still won't write any code.

Virtually all the codes I write are open source. I refuse to ever again write a single line of proprietary code for a boss again.

All the codes I write are also ideological in nature, reflecting my desires for the world and my desires to help people live better lives. I need to retain ideological control of my code.

I believe all the other 11 freedoms are sound. How do you feel about modifying freedom 9 to be more compatible with professional codes of ethics and ethics of community safety and harm reduction?

I believe your statements are hyperstitious.

You are assuming an outcome and giving everyone in the system an "excuse" for showing up and doing this. That excuse is sufficient for them to destroy their future one decision at a time.

I also believe my statement is hyperstitious.

It creates personal responsibility for every individual actor in the system, and makes them way their votes for the future against the short-term gains of their actions.

I've seen people respond well to my hyperstitious stance.

I've had a phone operator for my local hospital drop a 4-figure unjust surprise bill by reminding them that they and their children also need to go to hospitals, walking them through what the system was doing to me and my family, and asking them if they were comfortable with that knowing they'll be on the other side of this phone call at some point.

I'm using this same philosophy with my local school district to drive meaningful change for handling cases where a teacher is caught abusing a student - and seeing positive results (though I'm not counting my chickens quite yet).

I'm using this same philosophy with my HOA to bring back community building events like potlucks and lemonade stands, things that have disappeared because of the liability of organizing them. (In our current low-trust society, a child needs to procure event insurance to run a lemonade stand on HOA property in case someone fakes a fall in front of their stand).

Regulations like these are great for crony capitalists and lawyers - they're awful for small businesses and families.

People simply doing the right thing because they believe it is the right thing is good for small businesses and families - and awful for crony capitalists and lawyers.

When it comes to our current society and driving the meaningful change most of us would like to see... I believe throughout history people have died on a hill for far less.

I'm in the camp of helping people see a better path forward, and I'm seeing positive change around me in my life when I deploy my philosophy. Your mileage may vary.

tl;dr: I believe your pessimistic take is a self fulfilling prophecy that reinforces people voting against their own self-interest one decision at a time.
I have a weird problem with the article. It does start with a question over 'infamous' qualifier, but it goes into something deeper that has been bothering me over the past few years.

Lets start from the end, game consoles these days are basically optimized PCs. They are effectively nothing like the first, second, or even third generation consoles that had fairly unique hardware, desirable exclusives and so on.

Cell may have been difficult to program well for, but it speaks volumes about the current state of consoles that devs worry about being able to be lazy with ports. The idiot consumer will buy whatever anyway. The side effect of the first generations' relatively unique hardware profile is that games actually had to be optimized and tailored to the hardware. No lazy ports ( I still get pissy sometimes over ps3 dragon age port ). Exclusives had to be good or at least showcase what the console could do.

So is that what makes Cell infamous? The thing made news when could be run in a cluster[1].

I have a different take. Cell is the remnant of the consoles, when they were still worth one's time.
