Some people argue that you need actual CSAM to produce AI CSAM. I don't think that's true, but in that case, it'd be different because it's a result of abuse, while books are not (directly).

Just clicking on the link might be enough. Maybe you have a slightly outdated browser with a known vulnerability. Maybe you’re holding off on installing an update just to be sure it won’t break anything.

And even if everything is up to date Pwn2Own regularly shows that having a user browse to a website is enough to get root access. Thankfully most people don’t have to worry about this since they are unlikely to attract the attention of someone with that level of resources.

Thank you! I'll try fixing these.
We see three major issues that different projects encounter:

1. Knowledge Graph quality - if you don't have a clean well defined Knowledge Graph then the end result will not be good.

2. Multi Graphs support - you want to break the large Knowledge Graph to small per domain Knowledge Graphs which really helps the LLM work with the data.

3. User/Agent memories - You want each user have a dedicated & effective long term memory AKA personal Knowledge Graph completely private and secured.

4. Latency/performance - you have to have a low latency Graph Database that can provide a good user experience.

If you have a reliable connection between “you” and the deduplicator, then “you” aren’t receiving messages over an unreliable connection at all and so the claim that you can’t have exactly once delivery over an unreliable connection isn’t applicable in the first place. You’re receiving messages over a reliable connection and what happens upstream of that is irrelevant.

It's interesting that today this is very quickly framed as pathological, but in a lot of cultures biphasic sleep actually used to be common. A lot of preindustrial English language literature for example makes explicit references to "two sleeps". Many people used to sleep from around 9-11 pm, then engaged in various activities for one or two hours and continued to sleep. It kind of blew my mind when I heard about it the first time because of how completely this seems to have vanished, not just the practice itself but also discussion about it.

I think for people stressing a lot about sleep it's probably worth taking into account just how artificial the whole factory-job era on the clock sleep schedule is.

Future AGI replaces manual QA for AI models with Critique Agents, eliminating human-in-the-loop methods. Set custom metrics to fit your unique needs and detect errors faster. Reserve human effort for critical tasks and scale efficiently as inferences grow.

Product Hunt Launch: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/future-agi
Video Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSkxrj6GN6k
Interactive demo: https://app.supademo.com/demo/cm1544vzy00a0me0p60hwvhef
Docs: https://docs.futureagi.com

I'm Nikhil, the Founder of Future AGI.

After working in the AI space for the past 8 years, I realised a significant challenge: maintaining model accuracy in production. The first hurdle is knowing what errors occurred, which usually requires human-in-the-loop reviews. Humans go through every input/output pair to detect errors. But by the time this process is completed, AI apps start facing user drops and customer escalations. And as models scale, this issue only worsens.

When I spoke to hundreds of AI builders, I found that this was a universal pain point.
That’s why we created Future AGI.

Our Critique AI Agent helps detect errors in real-time, without humans in the loop. It provides AI teams with critical insights about errors, ensuring they get actionable data to improve accuracy. This frees up bandwidth and allows teams to focus on high-priority tasks.

Key benefits of Critique AI Agent:
LLM as a judge can be unstable, but our Critique AI is reliable & deterministic.
Set custom metrics in natural language to fit your specific use case.
Detects errors in real-time without humans in the loop, saving time and costs.
Ensures high accuracy and reliability as models scale, reducing the risk of user drops-offs.
Gives AI teams peace of mind knowing no error goes undetected.

I hope you find Future AGI helpful. Please share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions in the comments. Thank you for your support!
I got a much more convincing email from PayPal recently, someone sent a quote (apparently a feature that can be used unsolicited), and set their company name to something like "PayPal need to get in touch about a your recent payment of $499.00, please call +1-....", so this is most of the text at the top because their quotes email is "<name> is sending you a quote for $xxx".

This email came from the real PayPal.com, how they haven't gotten on top of usernames like that is beyond me for a payment processor. I reported it to them but haven't heard anything back, hopefully they banned that account but they should ban all names like that.

This email honestly was formatted to look like a legit PayPal email, I have to imagine that scam will trick a lot of normal people.

Get in touch, see my bio website, if you want the email.
If I had those kinds of resources I might even put a captcha on the site that asks the user to do something incredibly stupid just to make them think they were in the clear.
You're clearly associated with scrapingfish and not just a customer, your entire comment history is just shilling for them.
Indeed, but AFAIK you can't do the opposite (make results from certain sites show up higher in the results), which you can do with Kagi.
It's also selection bias: people spot bad AI fakes, convince themselves this represents all AI fakes, and then gain undue confidence in their ability to spot AI fakes.

Disinformation actors also know this: the value of flooding Facebook with bad AI fakes, is it primes people to believe either the good ones or human-crafted content which is intended to promote disinformation (since you've changed the ground assumptions - "AI == fake", "human written == true" is how people wind up operating).
The managers above you are judged by them climbing higher. So if they can coach you into a larger role, they'll look better. There's no incentive from the manager side to leave you alone, unless you've made enemies.

Yes, Hezbollah is a political party and militia rolled into one that uses terrorism achieve their goals. But there are no good guys here.

Likud is a terrorist organization that killed thousands of Palestinians through the IDF. Not to mention Frenchmen, Americans, and Arabs. Their forces recently bombed schools, refugee centers, and other "safe" zones in Gaza. They've fired indiscriminately at reporters and humanitarian aid groups. The party's espoused policy is against statehood for Palestinians and instead encourage settlement of their territory, even through violence.

So basically your argument is everything is fine because consumers can opt out. Another tired old argument where even the people saying it don’t really believe it.

You can’t even rent a hotel room without giving them an email and a phone number they don’t need, and are looking to sell. If this works for you.. the person at the counter probably faked it rather than arguing with you. Some people will be happy when menus disappear and you need to install an app. What happens when you can’t check out of the grocery store without the requisite likes-and-subscribes? What happens when your flashlight app has 37 page ToS that says they reserve the right to steal your contact list for the purposes of selling flashlight apps? All is well because you can see in the dark, and no one makes you choose anything? Well I hope there’s healthy competition amongst the manufacturers of your pacemaker, and they don’t inform your insurance company that your health is deteriorating..

If you’ve got no sense of right or wrong beyond what is legally permissible, just exercise your imagination a bit to look at the likely future, and ask yourself if that’s how you really want to live.

Man this back and forth is really frustrating.

So Google killed XL a while ago already and I feel like either Microsoft or Mozilla at least considered following suit. After Apple has done heic for a while now I assumed it might go that way regarding a jpeg replacement, but now they did a 180 and switched to xl. I mean good, it's not as patent encumbered, but wtf am I supposed to expect for the future now? Will Google add XL back to chrome? I guess it will take another decade or five until we have a jpeg replacement that's being universally agreed upon, because come on, it would be too easy if we don't get another plot twist where a major player jumps onto something else again for a while.
Firefox Nightly is listed as supported on the jpegxl.info web site. My understanding is that it does not fully support the specification yet which is why it is not released to production.

Maybe remote work is not for everyone but it absolutely is for some people.

I work way way more from home than I ever did from office because of how structured my routine is. My employer squeezes most of my time as i work too much and cant myself take breaks during the day.
Yeah.. I don't like when companies do that. I usually Google the domain first to see if it's legit, but even that isn't foolproof.
This is a misunderstanding. All the energy in our « observable » universe was compressed in that small size. We do not have any estimates of the size of the actual universe now, nor at a time shortly after Big Bang. For all we know, the universe might be infinite, both now and back then.
How about some examples?

If this was within my first year of owning a GitHub account, I would absolutely fall for this.

It's not much different from setting up your ssh key - something that you have to do; and new users also go through this workflow by copy pasting commands that GitHub sends them.
I'm not a fan of this technique. I agree the scenario they lay out is a common problem, but the proposed solution feels odd.

Vector embeddings have bag-of-words compression properties and can over-index on the first newline separated text block to the extent that certain indices in the resulting vector end up much closer to 0 than they otherwise would. With quantization, they can eventually become 0 and cause you to lose out on lots of precision with the dense vectors. IDF search overcomes this to some extent, but not enough.

You can "semantically boost" embeddings such that they move closer to your document's title, summary, abstract, etc. and get the recall benefits of this "context" prepend without polluting the underlying vector. Implementation wise it's a weighted sum. During the augmentation step where you put things in the context window, you can always inject the summary chunk when the doc matches as well. Much cleaner solution imo.

Description of "semantic boost" in the Trieve API[1]:

>semantic_boost: Semantic boost is useful for moving the embedding vector of the chunk in the direction of the distance phrase. I.e. you can push a chunk with a chunk_html of "iphone" 25% closer to the term "flagship" by using the distance phrase "flagship" and a distance factor of 0.25. Conceptually it's drawing a line (euclidean/L2 distance) between the vector for the innerText of the chunk_html and distance_phrase then moving the vector of the chunk_html distance_factorL2Distance closer to or away from the distance_phrase point along the line between the two points.

Tried this out for fun:

"Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but it’s not that black and white. There’s definitely a risk, especially for people who are lonely or vulnerable, and some companies are obviously exploiting that. But I’ve also seen situations where these AI tools actually help people who don’t have anyone else to talk to.

Like, sure, chatting with an AI isn’t the same as a real human, but for some people, it might be the only thing getting them through a rough time. It’s not ideal, but it’s better than nothing.

I do get the worry, though, that we’re heading toward a world where fake interactions become more normal and people lose touch with real connections. It’s hard to say which way things will go—depends a lot on how people end up using the tech. Could go either way."
Both are examples of developer-types doing risky things, which was my point and also supports my point that developers are not exclusively better secured than non-developer types.
“Eventually, the music comes from your thoughts. You need to have clarity on what you want the app to produce. It’s the taste that will matter,” he said.

And

Varma criticized composers for frequent deadline misses and scheduling conflicts, while accusing lyricists of failing to capture the essence of songs. He argued that these human factors often impede the creative process, making music production both time-consuming and costly. AI, he argues, delivers instantly — at “zero cost.”

My largest problem with UBI is that there will be a large percentage of the population that will just sit at home. There will be a growing demand for people to work, and prices will just skyrocket to pay the wages of the few willing to work. As those wages go up, more people on UBI will finally get off their butts because even they will no longer afford a cheeseburger at $45 each. but the cycle will just keep going.

In the end we have witnessed that we need stable inflation. If we have fast inflation, then unlimited numbers of people are left behind, for no fault of their own. If inflation is relatively stable, people can adjust slowly, carefully, and both companies and employees benefit from that.

But are you saying that compared to DX or just in general?

We're talking here about potential DX replacement, not about design in general and the bulk of it is very similar for both APIs.

There are some small quirks from Vulkan being made to be easily extensible which in the end I consider worth it.

I personally like how consistent the API is in both patterns and naming. After using it for a while, it's easy to infer what function will do from the name, how it will handle memory, and what you'll need to do with that object after the fact.

I find documentation better than the DX one.

Not to mention that I'm sure Apple didn't address the insulting behavior of the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth controls.

When I turn those off, I damn well mean it. I don't mean turn them back on behind my back later. But that's what Apple does.

But hey, if they want this half-assed temporary disabling, they still could have made smart decisions for users who want these states to be permanent. Here's the easy solution: If the user has gone into Settings and turned Wi-Fi and Bluetooth OFF, then treat the Control Center incarnations as PERMANENT.

But nope, the UI mavens at Apple couldn't figure that out. So they made the Control Center states a fraud to serve... whom, exactly? Who was upset that they turned stuff off and it stayed off?
In fact, the name “Jira” is a reference to Bugzilla. Atlassian says:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/plugins/servlet/mobile?cont...

> We originally used Bugzilla for bug tracking and the developers in the office started calling it by the Japanese name for Godzilla, Gojira (the original black-and-white Japanese Godzilla films are also office favourites). As we developed our own bug tracker, and then it became an issue tracker, the name stuck, but the Go got dropped - hence JIRA.
