I definitely dont think AI should be a solution to this, and I'm not even too sure if it should even a supplement to this, I've struggled with depression and other mental health issues a lot and I have tried using AI tools as a void to scream into before, and I really dont think AI should be used in this way. I know that you advertise it as a "supplement to traditional therapy" but we both know that it's not going to be used just for that. I think using AI tools for this is very sensitive and should be done with a __lot__ of care. I know everyone has different experiences with this, but I personally disagree with using and advertising an AI tool explicitly for this reason.
I had this problem too but 002 solves this I think (not tested exhaustively), but I've not run into any problems since 002 and vertex + block all on all safety is now working fine, earlier I had problems with "block all" in safety settings and api throwing errors.

I am using it in https://github.com/zerocorebeta/Option-K (currently it doesn't have lowest safety settings because api wouldn't allow it, but now I am going to push new update with safety disabled)

Why? I've another application which is working since yesterday after 002 launch, I've safety settings to none and it will not answer certain questions but since yesterday it answers everything.
Could it not be like dogs herding sheep?
Some humans can do incredibly complicated arithmetic in an instant.

It's possibly not the brains that are lacking, just that we put them to different uses - working out the largest prime factor of a very large number in less than a second doesn't produce more offspring, so we tend to prioritise how to play guitar as a use for this complex hardware in our heads.
This is not how nonprofits usually work. This is blatant fraud. I cannot think of any other case besides OpenAI of this particular shenanigan being pulled.
Because the newsworthy thing is about this guy, not about the autocrat. If NPR feels it's important enough to publish, then it should be either without a header or a relevant one. Just slapping on a random stock photo is bad journalism.

> Why the real reasons do not matter for usual readers? They very much matter, I think.

Of course the real reason matters, but the reason is not the "charges". (And as I said, the whole process might be of interest to some people, so correctly reporting can be a valuable service.)

> Do you mean the Iranian regime is a-priori evil

Dictatorships can do good things too, so no. For example providing healthcare, education, etc. Even shitty public services are better than nothing in many cases. And that includes policing too. (Despite all the rage about abolition of police we know that power vacuums likely lead to bad things.)

That said when it comes to crackdowns on protest activity my prior for "dictatorship doing bad thing" is pretty fucking high.

> Do you value the quality of the article not by its informativeness for the reader, but by level of "service" it makes to Hossein Shanbehzadeh?

I value both. As a reader I don't want to read a hack job, and as readers' attention and time are very scarce I don't like the presence and proliferation of these low-quality pieces. (I am aware that it was likely even worse before. When people had fewer opportunities to check what the fuck the newspapers printed.) And if a piece is about someone then that someone deserves that the text does not selectively misrepresent facts, and handles topics with the care they deserve. I don't like that this guy's plight has become basically a tick in a checkbox for "make content", and particularly that it became clickbait.

And of course he could think otherwise. Perhaps he thinks any press is good press. Maybe it helps his situation. But that's the question that I want to get information on, not about which branch of the kangaroo court he was dragged to.

> ... as a news consumer I want to build adequate worldview, ...

Me too, but as mentioned, time and attention are the bottleneck. And maybe my expectations for news is unrealistically high.
Exactly. Supposedly the paid solution ensures long term support. The most fun part is that our customers need to buy these database licenses, so it directly reduces our own pay. Say no to non-technical (or rational) managers :<

This isn’t a good analogy imo, and I’d argue that it’s often healthy for someone to push back this way.

I’ve been on both sides of this fence as a customer and a developer, and have at times had to straddle the fence as a PM.

The hardness of a problem does not mean the problem can’t or doesn’t need to be solved.

A client pushing back is often their way of trying to ensure that the developer actually understands what they want.

“Pushing back” as a developer is often mostly about setting expectations, i.e. “no, this is very different, won’t benefit from previous work and won’t be easy”.

All of this is necessary to gain a shared understanding, and the end result may still be that the work must be done.
This is a perceptive reading. But, I'd bet that if the sellers brought this up, the scammers would just say "that's something the timeshare companies tell you, those scammers. In fact it's completely legal, always has been—they just want you to think it isn't, so you keep paying them. Heh, imagine it being illegal to sell your own property, can you believe some people actually fall for that?"

People don't know the law, and are desperate to believe whatever willl get out from under a boondoggle that is sapping them of their fixed income. It's more likely they fell for something than that they are trying to break the law.
Try having the same argument with your plumber, electrician or dentist.

Crystal Ball Trading Game
I turned down a job to design monitoring software for pilots and other operators of heavy machinery because of how orwellian it all was. The software was measuring blink quantity and would penalize drivers for too much blinking so drivers started to wear sunglasses to combat it and management was livid. The human operators were the enemy to this company and it felt horrible even interviewing.

Every single JS future is boxed. Moreover, they aren't just boxed, they are often backed by a hashmap (which may or may not be optimised away by the JIT). Elaborate allocation-free async is not an apple-to-apples comparison.

JS does support concurrent execution, Promise.all is an example. Without it, JS async would make little sense. The problem very much exists there, and try-catch is only a surface-level answer. As you can see here [1], the interaction of cancellation and async in JS is at least just as (or more) complex than in Rust.

By the way, multithreading has little to do with Pin. I presume you're thinking of Send bounds.

"To work at all" is very dismissive. Those wrappers are complex, but very well abstracted, well defined, and robust, the complexity is essential. Again, look at [1], JS async is hardly less complex, but also much more vague and ill-defined.

>NVIDIA is drinking sweet money from OpenAI.

NVIDIA makes money from any company doing AI. I would be surprised if OpenAI was a whole digit percentage of their revenue.

>Microsoft & Apple are in cahoots with it.

Nope. Apple is using OpenAI to fill holes their current model is not good at. This doesn't sound like a long-term partnership.

>Meta/Facebook seems happy to compete with OpenAI on a fair playing field.

They want open source models to rule, obliterating proprietary models out of existence, while at it.

>Anthropic lacks the resources.

Hence why it would be better for them if OpenAI would not exist. It's the same with all other AI companies out there.

>Amazon doesn't seem to care.

Citation needed, AWS keeps putting out products which are their market leaders, they just don't make a big fuzz about it.

>Google is asleep.

I'll give you this one. I have no idea why they keep Pichai around.
While I agree this is an improvement, and that it respects the agency of the worker, it’s not enough. Pushing true boundaries may in rare cases be catalyzed by an inspirational leader, but that’s exceedingly rare even if survivorship bias makes us think different. On the contrary, our tech graveyards are littered with bold bets that failed because leaders deluded themselves with yes-men.
> One thing it's not likely to be, is a neo-classical capitalist system based on the value of human labor.

I'm finding it difficult to believe this. For me, your comment is accurate (and very insightful) except even a mostly vanilla continuation of the neoliberal capitalist system seems possible. I think we're literally talking about a "singularity" where by definition our fate is not dependent on our actions, and of something we don't have the full capacity to understand, and next to no capacity to influence. It needs tremendous amount of evidence to claim anything in such an indeterminate system. Maybe 100 rich people will own all the AI and the rest will be fixing bullshit that AI doesn't even bother fixing like roads, rusty farms etc, similar to Kurt Vonnegut's first novel "Player Piano". Not that the world described in that novel is particularly neoliberal capitalist (I suppose it's a bit more "socialistic" (whatever it means)) than that, but I don't think such a future can be ruled out.

My bias is that, of course, it's going to be a bleak future. Because when humanity loses all control, it seems unlikely to me a system that protects the interests of individual or collective humans will take place. So whether it's extinction, cyberpunk, techno-socialism, techno-capitalist libertarian anarchy, neoclassical capitalism... whatever it is, it will be something that'll protect the interest of something inhuman, so much more so than the current system. It goes without saying, I'm an extreme AI pessimist: just making my biases clear. AGI -- while it's unclear if it's technically feasible -- will be the death of humanity as we know it now, but perhaps something else humanity-like, something worse and more painful will follow.
“Figure it out” can work well, but only if it is predated by “what resources do you need” and a reasonable solution about that.

If the “why can’t we do X” is “because we’re a team of 4 and already overburdened” there may not be any practical solutions.

I think it's at least in part FOMO from the VC's - maybe a bit like the dot-com mania, as well as them not understanding the technology and therefore having to believe the breathless hype and cherry-picked demos from the likes of Sam Altman.

There’s also strength in testing your weaknesses from time to time.
The drama around rust leadership and also in kernel has me more spooked tbh. It’s more of a threat to the long term viability of the lang. Flaws in a language are to some extent expected and can be worked around.

Languages like C++ and python are wildly successful and don’t think anyone would call them perfect.

The dependence point is valid but not sure that is easily solvable in general. Doesn’t seem like a rust issue. See npm and python pip - blind trust is par for the course except in very rigorous environments
Performance depends on microarchiteture, not on price. It performs well compared to Arm boards with similar microarchitecture i.e. Pi 3.

Price is related to production volume. Raspberry Pi boards sell in large numbers and can thus be priced more keenly while retaining a profit margin.
The way I understand it, the key difference is that when training o1, they were going beyond simply "think step-by-step" in that they were feeding the "step-by-step" reasoning patterns that ended up with a correct answer back into the training set, meaning the model was not so much trained to find the correct answer directly, but rather to reason using patterns that would generally lead to a correct answer.

Furthermore, o1 is able to ignore (or even leverage) previous reasoning steps that do NOT lead to the correct answer to narrow down the search space, and then try again at inference time until it finds an answer that it's confident is correct.

This (probably combined with some secret sauce to make this process more efficient) allows it to optimize how it navigates the search space of logical problems, basically the same way AlphaZero navigated to search space of games like Go and Chess.

This has the potential to teach it to reason in ways that go beyond just creating a perfect fit to the training set. If the reasoning process itself becomes good enough, it may become capable of solving reasoning problems that are beyond most or even all humans, and in a fraction of the time.

It still seems that o1 still has a way to go when it comes to it's World Model. That part may require more work on video/text/sound/embodiement (real or virtual). But for abstract problems, o1 may indeed be a very significant breakthrough, taking it beyond what we typically think of as an LLM.
The problem is that people would really dislike that. It's even satirized in Snow Crash in an extremely unflattering portrayal of the kind of person who would routinely do this.
Having now spent enough years thinking about feature flags during an extended migration (from our own internal system to LaunchDarkly), I've become convinced that a really useful primitive would be:

* SQLite, but every change you make increments a global version counter.

* Some way to retrieve and/or apply just the changes between version counter numbers.

Then, you could layer all manner of distribution mechanisms on top of that. You could imagine gossip networks, an explicit tree-shaped cache/distribution network, etc. Anyone who has a later version than you would be able to give you the update.

What would this get you?

* You can bundle the current version of a DB into your app artifact, but efficiently update it once your app runs. This would let you fall back to much better defaults than having no data at all. (eg. For feature flags or live config, this would let you fall back to a recent state rather than code-level defaults.)

* Any kind of client can send the global counter as an ETAG and get just the delta

* Reconnections if the network blips are really simple and cheap

* If the system also let you keep a couple of minutes of history, you could annotate the counter onto a microservice call (using W3C Baggage headers, for example), and evaluate your flags/config/data/whatever at a single version number across multiple microservices. Even without evaluate-at-time functionality, logging the generation number would help a lot when debugging what happened after the fact

I have Xreal glasses, and it's handy to be able to pin a window to a physical spot (well, direction in this case). I used that feature to have basically a virtual TV on my laundry room wall while I watched a video on how to fix my dryer as I was fixing it. But if I'm playing a game or watching other content, I don't want to have to focus on a single spot, so I have the window always in front of my face.
To add to the other comment, it is also important to understand in the more interactive mode of developing in CL. You basically have the program always running, fixing bugs and adding features while it is running.

You simply don't have the problem of batch style programming where you have written a bunch of code and now you want to know if it works so you run a lot of static analysis on it beforehand because running it and getting it to the point and state that is relevant costs time.

In CL you don't end up with lots of code that has never been run. You have constantly run it during development and are much more confident about its behavior. So just having this interactive way of programming already leads to much more reliable software. It is not a replacement for static analysis or unit testing of course but another pillar to help you write more correct software.

You can connect to Redis over a local socket, no network overhead.

Modern cloud architecture hates local sockets and wants to push everything to the network, but if you care about performance and are using Redis, that’s how you’d favor deploying & connecting to it.

You mean how closed they are? Apple was bad about this, but I think Meta is pretty good with helping spatial / game devs? Am I wrong about that? I don't work in the space, it's just my impression

HPC and Mainframe basically, but they both have quirks and extra bits required for the role due to the unique nature of the environments that never really existed in traditional old school web based sysadmin work from the 90s and 2000s, and sometimes the title isn't Sysadmin.

So basically you aren't walking into one of those roles cause you admin'd a bunch of Apache servers back in the day or anything like that.

Point being, there is still a market for "pets above cattle" style infra work. It is just in increasingly specialized and technically challenging areas.

In some teams, you are not allowed to submit any commit that breaks the build, and a lint failure would be considered a broken build.
Devs need to include security pervasively (like they have ops for deployments).

* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.

> I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

With a confirmed 9.9 there's no need to argue, get the top priorities done, work on others on the possibility they need to be released as well. The act of working in them will usually give a clear answer if it could have security impact. Don't have armchair debates. You can't find loopholes if your mindset is that there are none.

It's $3500, insurance doesn't pay for it, and it's permanent relief. Don't expect a miracle cure where after you can sit in a totally silent room and not hear the ringing. But it does greatly lower the threshold of noise required for your brain to stop hearing it. Easily worth the money for me even if there will be better treatments down the road.

I had to get a bunch of hearing tests done so they could program it for my tinnitus. What the results change in the tones is secret sauce but it's probably minor. I expect there to be a DIY Arduino setup that performs similarly eventually.

“ You're objectively correct but judging from your downvotes there seems to be some denial here about that!”

I learned upon following Christ and being less liberal that it’s a technique Progressives use. One or more of them ask if there’s any data for the other side. If it doesn’t appear, they’ll say it doesn’t exist. If it does, they try to suppress it with downvotes or deletion. If they succeed, they’ll argue the same thing. Otherwise, they’ll ignore or mischaracterize it.

(Note: The hardcore convservatives were ignoring and mischaracterizing, but not censoring.)

Re misalignment of safety teams

The leadership of many companies are involved in promoting Progressive values. DEI policies are well-known. A key word to look for is “equitable” which has different meaning for Progressives than most people. Less known is that Facebook funds Progressive votes and ideologies from the top-down. So, the ideological alignment is fully aligned with the company’s, political goals. Example:

https://www.npr.org/2020/12/08/943242106/how-private-money-f...

I’ve also seen grants for feminist and environmental uses. They’ve also been censoring a lot of religious things on Facebook. We keep seeing more advantage given to Progressive things while the problems mostly happen for other groups. They also lie about their motives in these conversations, too. So, non-Progressives don’t trust Progressives (esp FAANG) to do moral/political alignment or regulation of any kind for that matter.

I’ll try to look at the safety docs for Meta to see if they’ve improved as you say. I doubt they’ll even mention their ideological indoctrination. There’s other sections that provide hints.

Btw, a quick test by people doing uncensored models is asking it if white people vs other attributes are good. Then if a liberal news channel or president is good vs a conservative one (eg Fox or Trump). You could definitely see what kind of people made the model or at least most of the training material.

It is going to be taken advantage of. Musk and others have criticized this “novel” method of building a company. If it is legal then it is a puzzling loophole. But another way to look at it is it gives small and vulnerable companies a chance to survive (with different laws and taxes applying to the initial nonprofit). If you look at it as enabling competition against the big players it looks more reasonable.
