Thats not true entirely. There is research, with huge impacts and the money leveraging- keeps it brutally honest. Nothing makes it out of a lab and into a fab, without certainty of the method working at least in lab conditions reproduceable. There are many billions, but not that many billions.
From the article, it started leaking years ago, and almost doubled between Feb and Apr of this year, so it is definitely not growing linearly.
> I'm sadly not very well versed with this alternative to OOP. But something tells me that a more "basic" and less dynamic scheme like that is probably best for performance reasons, since you'd either need a Julia-like JIT or a granular "dynamism knob" like https://github.com/marcoheisig/fast-generic-functions to truly amortize the cost of CLOS-like dispatch and polymorphism; though magic can be done, as the "Fast generic dispatch for Common Lisp" paper shows.

You know, for someone who isn't "well versed" with it, you certainly nailed exactly why I chose it. Also, simplicity. The "as easy as Python" is only possible if I remove complecting [1] things like inheritance.

> Huh! If this includes types deduced by compiler inference and not just user declarations (since Yao seems gradually typed, to my eyes), that'd be pretty impressive.

It does, actually. But Yao is not gradually typed, unfortunately. Too complecting.

If I want the public to tune out of climate issues in disgust, I can't think of a more effective way than throwing soup on Van Gogh while crying "Climate!"

final paragraph:

"GPC is available on Firefox, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and several other browsers, but not Google's Chrome, Microsoft's Edge, and Apple's Safari. The Do Not Track signal is still an option in Chrome and Edge. Chrome, Edge, and Safari also each have features that limit websites' ability to track users."
While this is technically correct, it is the wrong response to GP.

Yes. ProPublica is biased to look in certain directions. Every single reporter, editor, publisher, is biased in this way. The answer to this is more, not less.

FIRE rose from decisions the ACLU took about representing cases. This is a fundamentally good thing, speaking as a diehard ACLU supporter.

Speaking as a huge fan of ProPublica, I'm hoping that they're investigating all of the supreme court justices (for example), because we won't pass laws to reign in judicial corruption without bipartisan action. But if they aren't, I desperately hope that there's a market for a conservative-focus investigative outfit that can stick to the facts like ProPublica.

Why would they audit themselves against laws that don't apply to them? (Again, jurisdiction?) I've never worked for a company that audited itself against every law from every nation on Earth; we complied with the laws where we had a presence and did business.

It seems you're questioning my preference, but I'm simply pointing out that I find the tone and emphasis in the TH article clearer, even though it's less detailed. I'm free to prefer the presentation of one article over another, regardless of complexity.
To me, it's clear that is attribution, and not attributing, or actively misattributing via signing your brand to other companies output, is the key to the article.
Can you go to jail for knowingly defrauding another entity out of money (such as grants). Yes. Absolutely.

Are you going to go to jail for fudging some numbers on your paper, not likely.
Average Joe does not care about politics…
Well of course, but I don't think that would necessarily help much. The point is that you don't really need to do anything: you know what the results should be, and you know you are unlikely to get pushback, so there's only an incentive to do the strict minimum to create plausibility that you ran the experiments.

Basically, I think there is a sizable risk that a large number of replications would be fraudulent or half-assed, which dilutes their value. Paradoxically, the more this policy suppresses fraud or mistakes in original research, the less people will perform replication in good faith.

I could be wrong, but people are endlessly creative at subverting systems when the stakes are high, so I'm wary of simple solutions. To be fair, it's probably better than the current system, just not as much as we'd like.
The fact that it can still be considered science when intentional fraud is involved is a huge problem itself.

If I have learned anything over 40 years, is that the number of people who actually live in a way consistent with hypothesis testing, data collection, evidence evaluation framework required to have scientific confidence in future action or even claims is effectively zero

That includes people who consider themselves professional scientists, PhD‘s authors, leaders etc.

The only people I know who live “scientifically” consistently are people considered “neurodivergent”, along the autism-adhd-odd spectrum, which forces them into creating the type of mechanisms that are actually scientific and as required by their conditions.

Nevertheless, we should expect better from people; and on average need to do better in aligning how they think to how science, when robustly demonstrated, demonstrates with staggering predictability how the world works, compared to all other methods of understanding the universe.

The fact that the people carrying the torch of science don’t live up to the standard is expected - hence peer review.

This is an indictment of the incentives and pace at which bad science is revealed (like in this case) is always too slow, but science is the one place where eventually you’re going to either get exposed as a fraud or never followed in the first place.

There’s no other philosophy that has a higher bar of having to conform with all versions of reality forever.
For whatever it's worth, my dad was a programmer and spent my childhood doing his best to get me interested in it as well. But I just couldn't have cared less. I think most of us in our adolescent and teenage years just instinctivley feel like whatever our parents do must be lame and boring.

During my softmore year at UIUC in '94, I finally relented to his endless prodding to check out this www thing he was rambling about, and went to a presentation by the Mosaic team at a building down the street from me. Needless to say, that changed everything, and I've been coding ever since.

But I'm pretty sure it was in my DNA and it was only a matter of time before I admitted to myself that programming is actually fun as hell.

I'm sure you're proud of the paths your kids have taken, but hey, you never know. Maybe one day they'll also admit to themselves that dad's hobby was actually pretty damn cool and give it a go too.
I love it, esp. the double entendre. "Don't Upload My Bits!"
Pretty much every industry functions on a foundation of basic scientific knowledge discovered in academic labs, run by honest people trying to understand the natural world.

Fraud happens. Bad theories happen. The slow turn of scientific wheels takes centuries to crush them but it will always win. Profit doesn't turn those wheels. Our entire modern lifestyle is the impact.
You are missing key points here. "reproduce" means produce the same. Not just train similar model.

I can simplify the task, can you convincingly explain how the same model can be produced from this dataset? We can start simple, how you can possibly get the same weights after the first single iteration? I.e. the same as original model got. Pay attention to randomness, data selection, initial model state.

Ok, if you can't do that. Can you explain in believable way how to prove that given model was trained on give dataset? I'm not asking you for actually doing all these things, that could be expensive, only to explain how it can be done.

Strict 'open source' includes not only open weights, open data. It also includes the word "reproducible". It's not "reproduced", only "reproducible". And even this is not the case here.
Did it, though? Google’s chips still aren’t very good compared with competitors.
They're also testing the effects of reduced gravity.
The interesting part of the product we’re taking about (that is, the equivalent of the executable binary of an ordinary software product) is the weights. The “source” is not sufficient to “recompile” the product (i.e., recreate the weights). Therefore, while the source you got is open, you didn’t get all the source to the thing that was supposedly “open source”.

It’s like if I said I open-sourced the Matrix trilogy and only gave you the DVD image and the source to the DVD decoder.

(Edit: Sorry, I replied to the wrong comment. I’m talking primarily about the typical sort of release we see, not this one which is a lot closer to actually open.)

>Or he wants his suppliers to be a regulated utility while he sells 100% margin products on top of it?

Near term yep - soon as regulatory capture drops. They'll make out like bandits.

>Or he wants all the greater fools now wherever they are so he can get out before the collapse?

Then this, by the time competition catches up anyway because there are no real moats here besides regulation

>Wait, he wants his open product to be like a utility with low profits for maximized reach?

Then this is what remains, in a sea of other providers.

Financially? Pump and Dump, baby. Though I reckon the end result will still be intelligence flowing like water.
"They're really good at some things, terrible at others, and prone to doing something totally wrong some fraction of the time."

I agree 100% with this sentiment, but, it also is a decent description of individual humans.

This is what processes and control systems/controls are for. These are evolving at a slower pace than the LLMs themselves at the moment so we're looking to the LLM to be its own control. I don't think it will be any better than the average human is at being their own control, but by no means does that mean it's not a solvable problem.
I think that still runs afoul of the "uninvolved 3rd party" part of the definition.

Two actors can both generate value from a transaction due to a difference between price and their respective utility value for what is traded. This producer and consumer surplus is explicitly distinct from externalities.

If there is a currency deal between the US and Argentina, the consequences to those countries are not an externality. However, if this deal produces a 2nd order change in the Chinese RMB, some would call that an externality, although I would call it a consequence (because externality implies mispricing)

"Four of the top ten" research institutions is probably part of the reason for your experiences. I went to an elite private undergrad as a scholarship student and was sexually abused by the son of high powered lawyers, probably awful people themselves, who targeted scholarship students, international students, etc. because we were vulnerable with no recourse. I then went to a highly ranked but not super sexy public school for my PhD and my experience has been significantly better.

Bad actors are attracted to glamor and prestige because they're part of the cloaks and levers they use to escape consequences. Bad actors are far less attracted to, just as an example, living in Wisconsin, Michigan, or Indiana and telling people at conferences that they work at UW rather than Cambridge. UCs are also vastly more welcoming and supportive of working and middle class students than HYPSM even at the graduate level. That doesn't mean that you won't find any assholes at these places, and go too low in the rankings and you'll see ugly competition over scarce resources, but there's a sweet spot where more honorable people who aren't chasing prestige cluster and you'll find more support and recourse. Public schools ranked 5-15 are best for students without significant, significant social savvy and other forms of protection, IMO.

> It's suspicious but legal, in the same category as carting a semi-automatic into a grocery store in an open-carry state.

Any suspicion toward a US citizen for open-carrying a semi-automatic weapon (which you realize is like half of the handguns in circulation, right?) is entirely due to one's own prejudice and misconceptions. It is objectively not suspicious. The individual is openly carrying it, not hiding it. Concealed carry should not be suspicious either, but open carry should be less suspicious.

The personal preference is fine, just trying to make sure I understood correctly the discussion between you and the root poster. As a reader, it was a bit confusing to read something that starts with “Sorry, but I think the original article is more insightful…” and have it turn out that this (being more insightful) was intended as a problem.

Both of the first two comments you posted seemed to be positive about the NYT article over the TH one — I had not previously encountered “insightful” used negatively, or “losing nuance” used positively — so perhaps a different choice of words would have made it clearer (to me).

Do you know of any longer form content that walks through this area, or maybe just a listing of blogs.

No it isn't. It's an opinion as to whether something is a vice. There is no theoretical model of what makes a vice; no piece of kit to measure the viceness of something. There is no morality particle to reference. It's also an opinion whether a vice is actually something negative or just a necessary aspect of the human experience.

Author here. It’s kinda both a crdt and an operational transform system.

It’s a crdt in that all peers share & replicate the set of all editing events. (A grow-only set crdt if we’re being precise). Peers can use those editing events to generate the document state at any point in time, merge changes and so on.

But the editing events themselves are stored and expressed in their “original” form (unlike existing CRDTs, which need a prepare function). That means lower memory usage during use.

The replying / merging process itself is kind of a batch operational transform algorithm. It works by building a normal crdt state object in memory in order to transform the events so they can be replayed. In that sense, it’s an OT system. (But one which transforms by using a crdt, like Yjs, internally within each peer).

I don’t know if that clarifies things. Feel free to ask more questions!
