Would he? If he needed to quote some passage from To Kill a Mockingbird, would be banned for that? Context is always key. If someone asked for those regexes, and he provided a list, would he be banned for that? I don't know that this fallacy has a name, but it always comes up in censorship discussions, and it's just fucking stupid.

Yes, you can shout "fire" in the crowded theater. You're on the stage, and the name of the play is "Chicken Little Shouts Fire at the Theater". And everyone knows that it's most famous line of the play. What you can't do is try to murder people by starting a stampede for the doors. You can't do that even if you figured out how to do so silently.

>> maybe the juice isn't worth the squeeze

In rockets/aerospace, where the failure of any one of a thousand different parts means instant disintegration, checks are always worth the squeeze. Everyone talks about building rockets on the cheap and accepting a slightly-higher failure rate, but in reality that doesn't work. Even a tiny increase in component fault rates translates to total mission failure once multiplied across thousands of vital parts. The answer isn't to not check but to find ways to more efficiently and more thoroughly check each part. This is only more true if one considers reusable rockets where components will be expected to participate in multiple launches.
Distro-maintained packages (not just .Deb but rpm, pacman, etc) do fulfill this, but generally not via an automated means. It relies on package maintainers manually testing or reading source code to figure out what to remove. They don't just blindly accept whatever uninstall script comes with the software.

They don't remove everything, but I consider their choices generally sane. I.e. there are good reasons to not remove Postgres' data when Postgres is uninstalled. People would be pissed if they tried to switch from Ubuntu's packaged version to somebody else's Postgres repo, and Ubuntu deleted all their data when their Postgres was removed.

Linux has the functionality to do this via stuff like fanotify or kernel extensions like selinux. I don't believe this is an issue of "can't be done", I think it's an issue of "distro maintainers do a pretty good job and selinux is clunky". Windows and MacOS might as well; I don't know enough to say either way.

I think Windows has a particularly hard job here because of the proliferation of proprietary binaries, where they can't audit the source code even if they wanted to. Most stuff in Linux repos is open source and can be audited, and I think (could be very wrong) Google Play and the App Store expect to be provided with source code so they can do their own build.
One can always argue that, but, fundamentally security is about limiting the systems' use for its purpose and eliminate all unwanted scenarios.

If you need to use the system, you cannot turn it off or not to use it.

The problem is that the face is critical to “normal” interactions. Thus the ChatGPT demo of using the camera to determine if you are speaking to it (or to someone else) to choose whether to respond.

If talking with AI becomes more mainstream, face detection will (at first) make the experience better.

> still weird, but people are weird and this sort of stuff happens

I wouldn't be surprised if there were actual PR agencies involved in larger shitstorms. Activists are weird, true, but wild brigading is not a thing of an initiative, it's an "also-ran" thing. The instigators are often level-headed and cynical.
The problem is that Qualcomm-ARM may already have a license contract that's a superset of Nuvia-ARM.

Depending on the wording of Qualcomm's architectural ARM license, it seems like that might cover Nuvia's IP?

Or in other words, if anyone who wasn't an ARM architectural licensee bought Nuvia, Nuvia's IP would have been unusable.

But because someone with a "do anything custom with this core" bought Nuvia, Qualcomm effectively bought some "anything custom".

The real IP needle in this haystack seems to be: what ARM IP did Nuvia use that Qualcomm doesn't already have an architectural license for? I.e. extra sauce ARM shared with them for their specific use case.

Which sets up for a SCO-Unix-style threshing of technical details for individual pieces.

Which I imagine both ARM and Qualcomm will eventually want to avoid, as they'd like to continue doing business together, so this will eventually collapse into a new licensing agreement that covers all claims. (Assuming neither pisses the other off badly enough to salt the earth)
Is there data, that indicates Tesla did this, or something like this?
It's just that it's very easy for deviations from what the sensors see to occur. In traditional 3d printing, this can be stuff like a sensor switch wearing out, maybe physically moving slightly, being temperature sensitive, maybe the frame has changed shape slightly due to heat, moving the sensor a little, maybe something in the microcontroller happened to cause a slight delay in reading the sensor, or looseness developing in the motion system, or something being slightly out of alignment, or some component in the extrusion system experiencing momentarily higher friction and so on.

The layers are really thin, so manually inspecting them would slow down the printing process drastically. Then, ultimately, what even can you do if there's a defect? The layer has been laid already. If material is missing somewhere, you could have the machine go back and add it, but if there's excess material somewhere, or it's in a form that the machine can't fix, there's not a lot to be done, particularly in applications like rocketry, where your structural strength tolerance are very tight.
I think the context of these were that these contexts were included in the trained model, so it can interact with this kind of “intents”. Ios has a very wide-reaching “intent” system, readily accessible from Shortcuts.

Very cool! Thank for this, claytonjy!!
That looks just like a regression to the trend line - connecting the two endpoints on the graph correlates on par with the growth from 2015-2020. The recent hiring boom was an overcompensation from the 2020 covid dip, and now we're back to business as usual.
alright, whomever owns this website got me with that "Activate Windows" footer.
If you think about 'implementing then algorithm in a product' it seems so:
(From the article)
"We are really excited about what we have accomplished in just the last two years—from developing a new codec to successfully shipping it to billions of users around the globe"
pretty sure they said 380 packets total in the 1 minute call (~6-7/s)
Hiding replies from people not logged in was intentional.

Section 230 has been subject to numerous reforms and proposals in recent years, so yes it's a very real legal issue that platforms are keeping an eye on. FOSTA is an example, in which platforms all had to make changes and now constantly take down posts related to those acts. Another proposal to amend 230 ("Ending Support for Internet Censorship Act") is that platforms are stripped of their legal liability protections for what is posted if they cannot prove they are "politically neutral".
So there are probably hundreds of thousands of times more greenhouse gases produced from google having employees go into the office, than they use for training
I haven't yet tried this red teaming tool, but I recently started using promptfoo to build out an evals pipeline for Plandex, a terminal-based AI coding tool I'm building[1]. promptfoo has been a pleasure to work with so far and I'd recommend it to anyone who knows they need evals but isn't sure where to begin.

It's quite flexible for different kinds of prompting scenarios and makes it easy to e.g. test a prompt n number of times (good for catching long-tail issues), only re-run evals that failed previously (helps to reduce costs/running time when you're iterating), or define various kinds of success criteria--exactly matches an expected string, contains an expected substring, a boolean JSON property is true/false, an LLM call that determines success, etc. etc. It pretty much covers all the bases on that front.

It can also treat prompts as jinja2 templates which is good for testing 'dynamic' prompts which take parameters (all of Plandex's prompts are like this).

It seems like a good foundation to build red teaming on top of.

> EDIT: Another way to think of this model is to say “can we exfiltrate multi-model training data from open weights / closed training models?” And I think there the answer is yes.

Could you elaborate on this? Do you mean to say that this work reveals some of LLaMa's training data, or that this can be used to generate training data for new models?
Absolutely. LLMs get a lot of hate but sincerely, GPT-4o can be given a hunk of code (one function/small class worth) and told to find optimization opportunities, and it will do a great job, especially considering the 30s it takes to ask,

It’s not perfect, but it understands lock-free algorithms, branch prediction, can tell you which memory order to use for atomic operations if you’re using too strong of an ordering, AND it will catch silly bugs at the same time. I had a bounds check in a lock-free algorithm I was optimizing, which equated to if(idx < start && idx >= end) return false, and it mentioned that error while optimizing.

This guy was really putting it through its paces on already highly optimized code in an esoteric architecture (Nintendo 64) and it still found a few things:

Doesn't the charismatic phony lives in a society where most people. are just barely making it by?

Advertise publicly how huge of a fraud this charismatic phony is.

Look towards the deep south in the early 1900s for how many charismatic phonies (as well as unfortunately many innocents) were treated: lynch mobs, property destruction, exile on fear of permanent injury or death.

It's a worthy model.
Does it need to?

Why should everyone live the same way? I know tons of people who prefer city life, and more still who frankly don't really think about it either way.

Surely we all operate this way? My mate goes fishing, if everyone went fishing it doesn't work, but we don't all go fishing.
Yes, it was called OtherOS.
You're right, I regret my original, snide comment. It's barely relevant to the article and I should have known it would derail the thread.

Too late to undo it now, but lesson learned.
> Would he?

Yes the moderation on HN tends to be quite good.

Context being important is assumed here, as we're not really talking about someone quoting passages, but flooding forums with slurs with the help of AI.
Yup. There used to be "tour" groups that operated Katmandu to London. Sort of like this bus service but expecting to spend time in the cities it passed through. In 1975 I (with my parents) did what was supposed to be Delhi to Tehran, but we ended up leaving in Shiraz because of a breakdown, it was going to take too long to fix.

I've also done part of the Johannesburg to London route. Rougher, we were in a truck fitted out for passengers and most nights were in tents. Again, breakdowns, we were forced to leave before crossing the Sahara.

Neither route would be sane to do these days. Nor am I aware of any other such long route that's still sane. Such overland travel takes longer than flying by air but you see so much more of what you're passing through.
What do you object to exactly if the biometric data is on device only?

I’m not sure what is the privacy risk there. The apps that authenticate you don’t have access to biometric data.

The main risk I see is if that data was compromised and made available for something else, but I haven’t seen any breach of that that ended up being useful for anything?

Or maybe I missed something?
I tried that. Too long. Not essential anyway, IMO, the attack is much more interesting than the victim's employer's name.
It seems to be very bad right now. Check out this data from Indeed:

When I first left offensive security consulting and joined an internal defensive team, a wise ex-agency person said to me "In product development, the first things to often get axed are security, and performance. They are invisible to the user, until they aren't, and rarely do failures in those areas end a company."

Granted this was prior to ransomware really blowing up, but even that itself is a different threat model that doesn't mean your product has to be good at security.
Oh right... I think somewhere around 1st gen they were cool with that. But didn't they end up getting killed in the market because they had to sell it for less than Five Hundred and Ninety Nine U.S. Dollars, effectively at a loss, and people were making compute centres out of them?

I think a later gen locked it right down.

Is the fitness value of grasping tools greater than that of grasping wrists? I don't know. Is either behavior an exaptation of the other? I don't know. Does rape and slavery precede or follow tool use? I don't know. Either way the answers don't seem trivial. We may descend from tool users who also rape and enslave, or rapist slavers who also use tools. Understanding more of that should inform our social engineering.
I don't know if all of Andrea Bocelli's work count as opera because he tours performing his pieces instead of some operatic story but he's one of the best selling musicians in the entire world (>75 million albums). The article undersells just how popular he is.

If anyone has a chance to go hear him perform, it is a real treat. No other concert I've been to has sounded as good as he and the orchestra do live, especially Con Te Partiro (which he usually sings in the encore).
It's true that without Apple and Google's eye we'd have more cases of malware in our devices.

But I think it's also true that people are more than capable of adapting to such landscapes because we already do that with our desktop/laptop computers. Yes, malware exists and people do get their computers infected. But I believe the reliance of a sort of "watchful eye" also makes us lazy.

I mean, the ideal situation is not one where Apple doesn't have an app store. But imo more like what Google does with android where you can install anything if you really want.

I think the cuts these companies take from having a curated store is too high though. And in the case of apple there's simply no alternative (well, there's the nascent stage of an alternative forming in Europe I guess).
The best assumption would be that you either have connection available or not available.

Then, if it is available, what is the minimal data rate for connections which are available in general? If we do statistical analysis for that, is it lower that 32 kbps? How significantly?

For some reason, I would assume that if you have connection, it is faster than 2G these days.

Your original statement was that they lied about the effectiveness. The article you presented to back that up was about how the effectiveness was different for a different strain. So either you didn't read the article, didn't understand it, or were being dishonest.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I did in my C++ code with intrinsics.

About ISA extensions, I’m lucky to work on a professional CAM/CAE software. We have specified AVX2 in the system requirements, I’m guaranteed to have the support on our customer’s computers. However, very few of them have AVX512 CPUs so we are ignoring that thing so far.
Many places are safer, some are now crazy or even impossible. And the bad places block every long route I'm aware of having previously existed.
Very re-assuring to find this opinion elsewhere. I am absolutely drowning in Liveview. So difficult to /really/ grok. I'm becoming more convinced that it just isn't worth the effort, especially considering the interface will glitch if the user drives through a tunnel.

Meanwhile deadviews + channels is /miles/ better than python/rails/laravel (imho).

Apple doesn't have any hardware SIMD technology that I'm aware of.

At best, Apple has Metal API which iOS video games use. I guess there's a level of SIMD-compute expertise here, but it'd take a lot of investment to turn that into a full scale GPU that tangos with Supercomputers. Software is a bit piece of the puzzle for sure, but Metal isn't ready for prime time.

I'd say Apple is ahead of Intel (Intel keeps wasting their time and collapsing their own progress from Xeon Phi / Battlemage / etc. etc. Intel cannot keep investing in its own stuff to reach critical mass). Intel does have OneAPI but given how many times Intel collapses everything and starts over again, I'm not sure how long OneAPI will last.

But Apple vs AMD? AMD 100% understands SIMD compute and has decades worth of investments in it. The only problem with AMD is that they don't have the raw cash to build out their expertise to cover software, so AMD has to rely upon Microsoft (DirectX), Vulkan, or whatever. ROCm may have its warts, but it does represent over a decade of software development too (especially when we consider that ROCm was "Boltzmann", which had several years of use before it came out as ROCm).

-------

AMD ain't perfect. They had a little diversion with C++Amp with Microsoft (and this served as the API for Boltzmann / early ROCm). But the overall path AMD is making at least makes sense, if a bit suboptimal compared to NVidia's huge efforts into CUDA.

I'd definitely rate AMD's efforts above Apple's Metal.

Here in France, VAT is a tax collected by the business.

The myth is that a VAT increase (for instance, 7% => 10%, a couple of years ago) would shrink the business' margins : for 100€ paid by the customer, 93€ used to go to the business before the change, and only 90€ would go after the change.

Of course, and this is a massive surprise, all prices increased : the product now costs 110€, with 99€ going to the business and 11€ as VAT

So yeah, I'm pretty sure I know how my taxes work. That said, I can only speak about here in France, as I do not know how it works in other countries.
Did you miss the first, say, 25 years of the 30? Because I have literally reset my video driver blindly from terminal once, because it just failed after an update, and similar stuff. Also, this is pretty much due to the oligopoly of a few entities in hardware space, making it easier to support said devices, and standards.

Phones aren’t built from a small selection of devices, and they often have patented firmware that the phone manufacturer couldn’t even publish even if they want to. As I shown, look at the best attempt at building an open-source phone. It sucks majorly.

> Wait so you want to moderate and secure your product so that trolls won't use it to say awful things.

OP wants to moderate (not "secure") their discussion board. A discussion board is different from an AI product in that once a message is posted on it, it's broadcasted for all to see. AI chat bots on the other hand are one-to-one communication with the person prompting it. To this, the comment you're responding to says "who cares"? I tend to agree.

I tried to understand your argument. Please correct me if I'm wrong:

- You accuse the OP of lying about their use case, alleging that they are actually trying to use OpenAI to troll

- Despite censorship of AI does not work, it should be attempted

> Stop complaining about the things the company needs to do to prevent harm. Especially when it's so easily reversed.

Another way to look at this would be that if it's "easily reversed," it's not preventing harm. And in fact, it's detrimental to many use cases, e.g. the one described by the parent comment.
