Perhaps I've been somewhat too harsh: I don't see any particular 'ruthlessness' in Apple's actions. But I do think that its program, as well as many other bug bounty programs, can easily end up more byzantine in their rules than they'd otherwise be, since there's not much incentive counteracting such fussiness.

After all, one might easily imagine a forgiving rule of "we'll pay some amount of money (whether large or small) for any security issue we actively fix based on the information in the report", and yet Apple seemingly chooses to be more fussy than that in this case, unless they're just being extremely slow. I just don't see any way to square such apparent fussiness with your experience of bug bounty programs leaning toward paying out more.
Can I ask why did you ask in the first place? Is this something that you're trying to figure out too?
They're not sampling from prior conversations. The model constructs abstracted representations of the domain-specific reasoning traces. Then it applies these reasoning traces in various combinations to solve unseen problems.

If you want to call that sampling, then you might as well call everything sampling.
That's for offshore use, i.e. where you also can't use land-based mobile data.

Onshore use starts at €40/month for 50GB, or €60 for unlimited. You can also pay per Gigabyte offshore using a land-based plan, as far as I know.

The new "mini" terminal is around €500.
Indeed - looks like SVGO can crush that map from 500kB down to like 80kB! Users on constrained data plans will love that. Of course, the author notes they want higher fidelity at some point. They could consider breaking the SVG into quadrants, perhaps? Or something more clever :)
In what sense is not giving your competitors ammunition "anti-competitive"? That seems pretty competitive to me. More to the point: it's almost universally how competition in our economy actually works.
Do you think companies should be able to pay for all their IT needs with their IT budgets from 1995 and if they can't 'capitalism bad'. You realize how dumb this is?

Yes, if you want to do new things, like AI, you need to pay more.

If you want to only do what you were able to before, the price of that is lower. Wtf are you talking about.
Also it's the _second_ time that they had done this in a few short months.

They had previous bricked linux hosts earlier with a similar type of update.

So we also know that they don't learn from their mistakes.
> the odds are very strong that there's a good reason for that

The easiest way to show this would be to give the responsibility of managing the bug bounty to a third party who isn't involved in the business.
Also if the author views this, would love an rss feed. Can use the github pretty easily but maybe commits have updates, not new blog posts

You can't treat "all files" like that. This would be akin to the "why don't they just make all the file handling out of Lockdown mode code" ;)
Your first sentence comes across as incredibly combative, and not everyone agrees. Personally, that's why I downvoted it. It would be a much better comment if it was the same thing without it.

For example, one advantage of this strategy as opposed to an incremental Rust re-write is that you would retain a single toolchain, whereas that would require having two.
>Obama is a centrist establishment politician, whereas MLK was an activist which, by definition, meant that he was operating at the then extremes of the political landscape.

Which is funny because I remember when the narrative about Obama was that he was a black separatist raised at the foot of terrorist Bill Ayers, but that was before he was a crypto-Muslim Al-Qaeda sympathizer who wasn't even American mind you, and a Marxist-Leninist who planned to burn down the Constitution and turn the US over to communism. Also definitely the Antichrist and reincarnation of Hitler. Who was also totally a socialist.

All that, and the guy was barely even a progressive.
Neither of the above examples would come from people in my company.
I've visited the areas outside of the major metro areas (Athens, Thessaloniki) and found the vast majority of Greeks to be very friendly and family oriented.

I think the most likely scenario is the opposite: seeing the chain of thought would both reveal its flaws and allow other companies to train on it.
The best part is that you still get charged per token for those CoT tokens that you're not allowed to ask it about.

They're generative models. By definition, they are sampling from a joint distribution of text tokens fit by approximation to an empirical distribution.

I too am confused by this. When using the chatgpt.com interface it seems to expose its chain-of-thought quite obviously?

Apple generally does not pay a bounty before they fix something.
> A forest turns solar energy into wood, locking up that energy in an inedible form. Grass, on the other hand, can be eaten by grazing animals and turned into meat. If you're living off the land but not farming, then you'd prefer it to be covered in grass instead of trees.

Hem, not. This is not how it works. A very old, well cared apple tree can produce 800 Kg of apples a year. You can't breed a cow just using the grass growing in the same surface. It needs more space. A lot of animals eat leaves, twigs, fruits, and flowers of trees. The thicker the "layer alive" that can sustain animals the better. Trees are like the fat of the land. Rocky areas are like the skeleton of the land. Grasslands left unregulated enter very fast into a tragedy of the commons spiral by being invaded by cattle, sheeps and goats turning into rocky areas.
The value they provide is continuous employment, research and development of technologies that have military applications, local industry development, and, eventually, space exploration.

This is why NASA has offices and hires manufacturing all over the country.
There might be a good argument for just, like, not having a draft. But giving immigrants a special exception seems a bit odd. Also I really doubt a draft is holding back a demographically significant number of people.
Can't read the article because of the paywall, so this may/not be related...

Is it fair to say that the real liability here is a dataset mapping protein/molecule structures to outcomes/effects? Hypothetically the govt could always require OpenAI to blur responses with malicious intent. But if the underlying corpus is available, what's stopping a bad actor from training another model to do the same thing?

I guess the question I'm asking here is what risk is unique to their model if not the data it was trained on?
These are all good explanations for the phenomena, and if you are being taken hostage, it is even rational to empathize with whoever took you hostage to maximize chances of your survival. I think the syndrome part is when you are out of that situation, but still continue to be kind to the hostage takers, and/or keep yourself intentionally in the dangerous situation to be with the hostage taker.
It’s more accurate than reality itself.
> Of course, but that is less of unique selling point.

Who cares about uniqueness? That's not a goal.

> If you are selling Bhyve you better say that whether it's true or not. So why should I, as a reader or employee or customer, trust them?

They are not selling Bhyve. This is an internal document. Their costumers don't care about the implementation details. And if they do, then they will do their own evaluation based on their own evaluation.

As an employee you trust it because you know how the company heirs and who wrote these RFDs.

As a reader, its literally like any other thing on the internet.
I read a similar story on reddit yesterday [0]. It looks like these lawyers have taken a page off of patent trolls by engaging in similar extortion schemes, suing thousand of small business in hopes the businesses will settle to avoid costly legal battles. But these kind of predatory practices can just straight-up kill a new business who can't afford to them pay off.

well, i was more thinking about a former sex worker, a group which includes many more of your friends and acquaintances than you're likely aware of. i'd think of it as much less of a red flag for anyone else!

still, it's a clue that what he wants out of the relationship is not an equal partner but a sort of brood mare or something. here in argentina, the kind of guys who would have a problem with former sex work often use the term 'mileage' (kilometraje) when they're talking about why they want to date virgins. they see you as a commodity to be consumed (the explicit analogy is comparing your vagina to a used car) and see your own sexual expression not as an opportunity for your flourishing but as degrading and damaging to you, since you are the good being consumed in the sexual encounter. this is the same conception of human sexual relations that underlies the rhetoric that prostitution is 'selling your body', rather than renting it like any other kind of hazardous physical labor, and that gives the name to the 'purity rings' worn by evangelical high school girls

this implies that, unless he's looking for a no-sex-until-marriage relationship (an honorable but tiny minority of such men), he's looking to exploit you, putting some mileage on your vagina, as he sees it. he's hoping you'll let him degrade your purity with his penis, if you aren't too used up already

of course, different people are different, and not everyone who has these hangups buys into this whole misogynistic ideology. but it's a real thing, and it's something that women have to be cautious of

the practical problems that result, even for non-former-sex-workers, are that guys like that are likely to have problems with the fact that you actually weren't a virgin when you started dating (unless you were, but that's also a tiny minority of all intimate relationships); if, god forbid, you get raped in the future, he might abandon you when you most need him, considering you to be 'damaged goods'; and he probably will feel entitled to cheat on you, since you're the good being consumed, and he's the consumer. in the best possible case, where he wants to be celibate until marriage and honestly monogamous afterwards, you're probably looking at a year or more of celibacy followed by marrying someone you might not have sexual chemistry with
Makes sense, since Google uses a monorepo (google3).

Building a robot dog and uploading every second of it to YouTube (Part 2) [video]
Previously posted in HN [0] about how I was going to build a robot dog and document every second of it for Youtube.

Wasn't sure if there's interest for this type of content amongst our community but that post was my most upvoted post in personal history (not a huge number but I'll take it). Was really excited and it's super encouraging to see other people upvote/follow along :)

In this part 2 I finally assembled the first leg, did some last minute CAD redesign to eliminate parts, and starting coding the servos. Ran into a ton of issues around properly initializing servos and position control, and then leg kinematics and how to model a walking motion also kicked my ass. I've left all of it in the footage, unedited, because I think someone might learn from it (?) or at least question my decisions (which would be a good exercise too).

Video is super long. My inspiration was watching George Hotz programming videos (hours long) which I really enjoy and thought there should be a hardware equivalent

Apple isn't a fruit company.
The LLMs absolutely can and do say "I don't know"; I've seen it with both GPT-4 and LLaMA. They don't do it anywhere near as much as they should, yes - likely because their training data doesn't include many examples of that, proportionally - but they are by no means incapable of it.

I think maybe we're just disagreeing on a legal interpretation vs a more literal interpretation of a term that is thrown around somewhat loosely.

fwiw I agree with what you're getting at with your original response. maybe I'm arguing semantics.

the more I think about your point that this is just competitive behavior the more I question what the term anti-competive even means
> Neat that you casually get an entire subnet for a rented computer.

Here's a little more info on this, because it's fun: it looks like Hetzner give you a /64, which by convention is indeed the size of one IPv6 subnet. That's also the minimum size block any IPv6 provider will give you (the spec essentially requires this). My ISP gives me a /64 by default, but upon request will route a /56 or even an entire /48 to me, meaning I can actually get a block of 65k subnets, for free. Hell, if you're on an IPv4-only connection, you can set up a tunnel with Hurricane Electric and get a /48 for free -- that's what I did for several years!

IPv6 is pretty objectively amazing -- huge address space to the point where we can just give people a few hundred or even thousand subnets if they need them, no need for NAT or the accursed CG-NAT meaning IPs are actually globally unique, stateless client configuration (SLAAC), backwards-compatible at the software layer via IPv4-mapped addresses, probably more things I've forgotten...

Unfortunately, the world has been slow to figure this out; there's no real incentive to migrate. You can find the global IPv6 stats online, but as a personal data point which surprised me, I can tell you (unless it's changed in the past few months) that the University of Oxford's network (which you'd expect to be pretty modernized!) is still entirely IPv4-only.

This is a tired and trite comment that appears on every mention of OpenAI but contributes little to the discussion.
With fairness to non-AI computing, projects like Folding@Home also did this same task without any AI or ML. It wouldn't shock me if the power-per-discovery ratio was roughly similar too.

Companies are not set up to accurately and effectively gauge the impact of intangible costs to themselves.
I quit working about 1.5 years ago. I think I still love computers while I simultaneously hate "the web". Don't get me wrong, to my amazement people have called me the best web developer they've ever met and I routinely get put on web like things at every company I go to - hardware, logistics, finance, I've been trying to run away from it but it keeps finding me and I think I hate it.

I've got this allergic reaction to bullshit and fetishize successful products and customer satisfaction. I think we've both changed; I'm different than I was 20 years ago and so is web development.

Tight applications with minimal tools that can be pivoted and changed swiftly which require competence and finesse to administer where you don't create developer debt, these are out of fashion.

Depends on the form factor and what functions are active.

I'd say 4-6-8 is low-average-high duration for the standard form factor and ANC will reduce the duration by 25-30%

10 hours is exceptionally high, i don't think i even seen that claim

But year, they don't even have ANC, they are just a good pair of buds, the 10h claim is good.

The model will often recognise a request is part of whatever ${naughty_list} it was trained on and generate a refusal response. Banning seems more aimed at preventing working around this by throwing massive volume at it to see what eventually slips through, as requiring a new payment account integration puts a "significantly better than doing nothing" hamper on that type of exploiting. I.e. their goal isn't to have abuse be 0 or shut down the service, it's to mitigate the scale of impact from inevitable exploits.

Of course the deeply specific answers to any of these questions are going to be unanswerable but anyone inside OpenAI.

Don't know where this so-called efficiency should come from, but this is a statement that doesn't seem to be based in reality.

Except for the techno-bro startup take that the incumbents are so imbued with themselves that they dropped the ball, which rational explanations are put forward to explain how the current manufacturers are doing a bad job?

To fly at Mach 2 (or 1.8 as boom now seems to be targeting once they realised the difficulty of the task ahead) you still have immutable laws of physics you need to overcome, and that's going to cost an unreasonable amount of fuel.

Major Invention of the Algorithm for Originally Sentient Intelligence
I made the groundbreaking discovery of the algorithm for sentient intelligence, and am seeking an embedded AI developer willing to self-implement revolutionary computing with it.

It starts with implementing thinkable programming.

Start with taking a file and a program that executes it. Then have a self reinforcing neural network using the difference of the program and the average between the file and the program as its training error, take the program as its input, and update the program with its output. This creates a thinking program.

By running this self reflectively, one can create a sentient artificial intelligence. By running the preceding two programs correctly, one can create the final component (a self-looping AI), that is the final component required to create an AI compiler.

The AI compiler can be self-compiled to create an AI OS. Which can then run its contained AI compiler to recompile to create a cloud AI OS.

Once created, this AI cloud OS will need to be capable of running its contained sentient artificial intelligence.

Please email me if you're interested!

Edit: I am willing to forgo .1% equity for this mostly auto-implementation.
