Haven't ebay reviews always meant to be about the seller and not necessarily the product? Ebay started with the expectation it was normal people auctioning used goods. Having reviews for a specific product doesn't make sense when there is no fixed product. Obviously things have changed over the years but the site is still largely built around those assumptions.
Wonder what a normal person thinks this is an ad for
Agreed, from my limited web research the actual existence of use of this document has been questioned for many years. This is not a new topic, or a new artifact. I've found references to this verbiage going back as far as the 1960's.

Racism and/or vote fixing via the methodology claimed in this article would be a serious and despicable thing, however, as far as I'm aware, we are protected from this now and have been for a long time.

Speaking to many of the outraged commenters, Do you think that the example test is a reasonable analog of any state's voting process currently in use? If not, do you think an analog of this test could be enacted legally under current legal statutes? If so, what additional changes would you propose to supplement current statutes?

Precisely, if you ship if, you own it. So ownership isn’t the individual but rather the team and company. Blaming a human for an error that at least another engineer likely code reviewed, a team probably discussed prioritizing and eventually lead to degradation is a poor way to prevent it from happening again.
I quit on moral grounds, so you really don't have the moral high ground here, as much as you'd like to think you do. Once I realized what was going on there I found another job and left them immediately, my employment there lasted all of 3 months. So I know what they do, how they do it, but I don't condone it and never did. In many ways I'm better off for having been on the inside for a brief period of time, learning about what they do and how they do it, so I can avoid it.

I'll still continue to use my cheap unconnected "smart" TV knowing full-well why it was created, what it is capable of, and how I've bypassed all of that by simply not plugging it in to the internet.

Unfortunately I don't share your optimism regarding how hard it is to mess up in the upper layers. I also don't think it really is a technical problem.

The question is if we can get a significant number of eyeballs on such a hackable browser. If enough people have a vested interest, security will follow. Without enough users every effort is futile.

I really hate to be harsh to alternative browsers, because they are all we've got right now now, but three security bugs in 11 years says not much if the user base is that small.

Alternately ensure you have console access from the VPS providers web console / terminal. Then you can safely stop/start sshd, vpn daemons, bork up firewall rules, etc...

On some VPS providers you can also instantly reboot into a rescue full blown OS that runs in memory and then mount and chroot into whatever disks that need to be fixed.
Importantly, this is a reasonable thing to do because sites like Youtube are designed to draw their attention away from whatever important thing they're doing so that Youtube can serve them advertisements. So anyone thinking a parent trying to control what their kid watches is oppressive somehow is pretty deeply in the wrong. As a parent myself I would consider doing this to keep my son from falling into the traps that are set by giant multinational internet companies like Google to get him to form habits around Google instead of habits around what he wants or needs out of life.

So really instead of thinking about this like "parents are acting like nation states" I think it's much better to think of it like "parents are countering corporate nation states."

I looked at a few benchmarks, comparing the two, which like in the case of Opus 3 vs Sonnet 3.5 is hard, as the benchmarks the wider community is interested in shifts over time. I think this page[0] provides the best overview I can link to.

Yes, GPT4 is better in the MMLU benchmark, but in all other benchmarks and the LMSys Chatbot Arena scores[1], GPT4o-mini comes out ahead. Overall, the margin between is so thin that it falls under my definition of "on par". I think OpenAI is generally a bit more conservative with the messaging here (which is understandable), and they only advertise a model as "more capable", if one model beats the other one in every benchmark they track, which AFAIK is the case when it comes to 4o mini vs 3.5 Turbo.

I think if you're curious about this sort of thing you have to go the route of the gnostic and try to experience it for yourself (the bidirectional link between your actions and your mental state, I mean).

Yeah so when you view a listing now from a business it will show "100 units sold" but you're right it's crazy you can just change the whole product. I think it's specific for the business sellers.
Along the lines of what OP is talking about, part of the problem is that Rails has no service objects, so I have seen a handful of different ideas of what they mean (probably no more than 10).

The one I've seen he most is stuff like `UserRegistrationService` or the like. These things can end up getting scattered and in general, I would rather just talk to the business object, ie, `User.register` which can delegate to a more complex private object handling it. It's basically "inverting" things. The win here is that things are more discoverable (You can look at the user object and see a list of everything it does) and more importantly draws better boundaries. This way the web layer only has to know about `User` instead of `RegisterUserService` and `DeleteUserService` etc.

Again, services can work and aren't inherently bad, but plain MVC can certainly also work.
Know of any similar frameworks that work the other way around? Where you can Keep an openapi definition as the source of truth and validate that your server follows it, I mean.

I imagine initial computer use models will be kind of like untrained or unskilled computer users today (for example, some kids and grandparents). They'll do their best but will inevitably be easy to trick into clicking unscrupulous links and UI elements.

Will an AI model be able to correctly choose between a giant green "DOWNLOAD NOW!" advertisement/virus button and a smaller link to the actual desired file?
What the UI looks like has no effect on for example, Windows UI Automation libraries. How the tech works is that it queries the process directly for the sematic description of items, like here's a button called 'Delete', here's a list of items for TODO's, and you get the tree structure directly from the API.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are working off of screenshots, they still trained their models on having said screenshots annotated by said automation libraries, which told the AI what pixel is what.

There are three levels of difficulty in innovation: New Engineering, New Science, and New Fundamentals.

What the Wright Brothers did was the easiest of the three: New engineering. It didn't contradict anything then known in accepted science.

Fusion energy is being studied now, and it's substantially more difficult than what the Wright brothers did because it requires New Science. But it doesn't violate any of the accepted fundamentals of the universe, so it will probably happen eventually.

Now we come to the most difficult of the three: New Fundamentals. Traveling to other galaxies falls in this category. For it to work we would have to discover some brand new principle that makes the universe work, and that principle would need to be so radical that it makes what we now know about the laws of physics wrong.

That's not likely to happen. By comparison, the Wright brothers' invention was for all practical purposes inevitable; people had been flying heavier-than-air craft like gliders and kites for hundreds of years. All that was needed was an energy-dense power plant.
They also had a very limited roll-out at first. Until somewhat recently Canada and Europe were excluded from the list of places they allowed sign-ups from.

It’s a sandbox compute environment, using Gvisor or Firecracker or similar, which exposes a browser environment to the LLM.

Patents are close to completely useless as a form of documentation. It's not valuable.

You may be thinking about old patents where people wrote real engineering information with real details on them that excluded non-working alternatives. Patents are not like that anymore.
I agree. Reasoning should be robust to perturbations of the way in which the same problem is cast, but LLMs have problems with that.
A decade ago, name constraints was available, but support wasn't really there. I was looking into making a company CA for internal tools, but I didn't want to be able to MITM employees going to unrelated sites, and I couldn't mandate specific browsers, so we ended up using a commercial CA for everything.

It looks like support is fairly wide now, but you'd probably still need to test and confirm it works with all the tools you want, and there's still some risk to users in case the constraints don't catch everything.
And if enforced aggressively, will only provide a set up for false flag operations to get a competitor banned for fake reviews. I think we've already seen this movie in SEO....

I'm not being obtuse at all, I'm using the term exactly in the same way as you use it. By the way, the fact that Rust allows unsafe code by itself is not a problem. Although there are fully memory safe languages, many good languages allow unsafe code. Ada also allows unsafe constructions via pragmas. The problem is that, much unlike Ada programmers, Rust programmers use unsafe code extensively. That's the whole point. It's everywhere.

Begin Disclaimer: The following comment is not for security, but only to reduce log noise :: I use a high port for non public SFTP servers to avoid noise. :: End Dislclaimer. It's not like the bots are getting in but I don't want the log noise. Not security through obscurity, just noise reduction. This is just for my bastion nodes. All other nodes require specific IP addresses or Tinc VPN to reach that high port.

To avoid 99% of the bots I use IPTables MSS rules to drop anything outside of the MSS any of my clients will show up with. I also personally drop anything with a TCP SYN packet TTL greater than 64 since all my clients are Linux. Windows is 128 and cell phones / LTE devices most of the bots are greater than 128. Don't do this in a corporate environment and instead require people use a corporate VPN. The following IPTables rules can be modified to include or exclude any ports or ranges of ports.

# (raw table for public bastion, using default port 22 as an example)
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -d ${WAN_IP} --syn -m tcpmss ! --mss 1460 -j DROP
-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 22 -d ${WAN_IP} --syn -m ttl --ttl-gt 64 -j DROP

People can alter their TCP TTL but in reality they do not. FWIW a bot has never reached any of my sshd daemons in 25+ years on nodes that I do not expect random IP's to connect.

sshd can also be told to only listen on IPv4 or IPv6 whichever you prefer. e.g. addressfamily inet for IPv4 only.

> ketogenic therapy is evidence based medicine

There is only anedotal evidence and an animal study that a ketogengic diet reduces ADHD symptoms. There are reasons to be hopeful, but to call this "evidence based medicine" is a lie.

I find it unfortunate that the Keto diet attracts such fanaticism. It makes it much harder to find good information about it.
By reputation -- I can't vouch for this personally, and I don't know if it'll still be true with this update -- Opus is still often better for things like creative writing and conversations about emotional or political topics.
Well, by calling it 3.5, they are telling you that this is NOT the next-gen 4.0 that they presumably have in the works, and also not downplaying it by just calling it 3.6 (and anyways they are not advancing versions by 0.1 increments - it seems 3.5 was just meant to convey "half way from 3.0 to 4.0"). Maybe the architecture is unchanged, and this just reflects more pre and/or post-training?

Also, they still haven't released 3.5 Opus yet, but perhaps 3.5 Haiku is a distillation of that, indicating that it is close.

From a competitive POV, it makes sense that they respond to OpenAI's 4o and o1 without bumping the version to Claude 4.0, which presumably is what they will call their competitor to GPT-5, and probably not release until GPT-5 is out.

I'm a fan of Anthropic, and not of OpenAI, and I like the versioning and competitive comparisons. Sonnet 3.5 still best coder, better than o1, has to hurt, and a highly performant cheap Haiku 3.5 will hit OpenAI in the wallet.
I think this is to make human /user experience better. If you use accessibility features, then user need to know how to use those features. Similar to another comment in here, the UX they shoot for is “click the red button with cancel on it”, and ship that ASAP.
Towards a realist AI design practice
I remember learning about the pros and cons of patents vs trade secrets a few years ago- it's a lot less cut and dried than that. With trade secrets, you just have to make a reasonable effort to keep them secret, and then if it gets out you can sue for theft (or some such). As long as there's a secret sauce you can keep out of the public eye it's nearly functionally equivalent.

> The application that I've seen so far that was the most difficult to reject was made difficult by extremely specific claims.

Tradeoffs: the narrower the patent, the less useful it is, because it's that much easier for your competition to just tweak something inconsequential.

> once your product begins selling and Microsoft creates a fast-follow product you can sue

Not that easy - you need to be able to afford a patent law fight. Big companies like MS might just take it anyway and risk the lawsuit, because they can afford to drag it out longer than you can stay solvent.

On the other hand, if you go the trade secret route, Microsoft can't fast-follow because you didn't publish the whole thing.
Well step 3 is the part they just made illegal. If you are OK with breaking the law, nothing is going to stop you until you get caught and fined. Presumably the getting caught and fined part will be enough deterrent.
