I once asked a Korean MD/PhD about fan deaths. I was expecting her to say, "Oh, people don't really believe in that. It's just something a few grandmas worry about." What she actually said was, "Oh yeah, that's really dangerous."
If an LLM is tasked with translating a full text to a summary of that text then it is very reliable.

This is akin to an analytic statement, eg, "all bachelors are married". The truth is completely within the definition of the statement. Compare this to a synthetic statement such as "it is raining outside". In this case the truth is contingent on facts outside of the statement itself.

When LLMs are faced with an analytic statement they are more reliable. When they are faced with a synthetic statement they are prone to confabulate and are unreliable.

Hi! I am a startup attorney - I can't give specific legal advice here, of course, but it's not unusual to be required to sign an NDA before discussing confidential company IP. The NDA basically specifies that the information can only be used for the "business purpose."

You should make sure that it covers the information of both parties (i.e., it's mutual and not one-way), and that the term is long enough to protect your IP (3-5 years might be standard; some large companies want shorter terms to shorten their liability window).

Enforcement would be a suit for damages or, in certain cases, injunctive relief that would allow the disclosing party to bring a claim to a judge asking for an injunction that would force the receiving party to do/stop doing whatever it was that violated the NDA.

Hope that helps!
Anything is possible if anything is possible.

In this universe, fundamental forces like electromagnetism directly contain things like c, so if c is infinite, everything is going to work very differently.
The data centers themselves with all the supporting infrastructure (telecom/power), as well as all the chip fabs needed to build the hardware, even if the hardware itself becomes obsolete / breaks down on a 4-5 year time scale.

In the same way the rights of way obtained with all the railroads were, even if the rails / engines themselves had to be replaced every decade or so

But some hardware does last quite a long while. Fiber laid from 25 years ago is still pretty useful.

>GM went bankrupt.

I'd call an 80 year run pretty damn good. having my company not just survive me and my children, but dominate an industry for that time seems like a good deal. It shows it wasn't my fault it failed.

>the business of cars lent itself to a dominant player.

I'd rather measure my business by impact, not stock numbers. That mentality is exactly why GM fell very slowly through the 70's (defying a while bunch of strategies Ford implemented to beat out the compeition. like knowledge retention ) and crashed by the 90's.

Money to keep operating is important too, but I don't think Ford lived a life of Picasso here.

That... is not relevant. The question is what percentage of R&D spend gets "encoded" into something that can survive the dissolution of its holding company and how much does a transfer to a new owner depreciate it.

I'd be shocked if more than like 20% of the VC money going into it would come out the other side during such an event.

My comment from a few days ago.

The origin was a conversation with a girl who said she'd been pulled into a professor's office and told she was going to be reported to whatever her university's equivalent of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity is over using AI - a matter of academic honesty.

The professor made it clear in the syllabus that "no AI" was allowed to be used, spent the first few days of class repeating it, and yet, this student had been assessed by software to have used it to write a paper.

She had used Grammarly, not ChatGPT, she contended. They were her words and ideas, reshaped, not the sole product of a large language model.

In a world where style suggestion services are built into everything from email to keyboards, what constitutes our own words? Why have ghostwritten novels topped the NYT Best Sellers for decades while we rejected the fitness of a young presidential hopeful over a plagiarized speech?

Integrity doesn't exist without honesty. Ghostwriting is when one person shapes another person's truth into something coherent and gives them credit. A plagiarized speech is when someone takes another person's truth as their own, falsely. What lines define that in tools to combat the latter from the former, and how do we communicate and enforce what is and isn't appropriate?

Heh, I clearly forgot the context between commenting. My comment still stands if you replace “waste and ineffiences” with “lack of accountability”.
The default tone of ChatGPT and the default tone of school or academic writing (at all levels) are not exactly the same, but in the grand vector space of such things, they are awfully close to each other. And all the LLMs have presumably already been fed with an awful lot of this sort writing, too. It's not a surprise that a by-the-numbers report, either in high school or college, of the sort that generally ought to get a good grade because it is exactly what is being asked for, comes out with a high probability of having been generated by GPT-style technology. And I'm sure LLMs have been fed with a lot of syllabuses and other default teacher writing documents, and almost any short teacher-parent or teacher-student communication is not going to escape from same basin of writing attraction that the LLMs write in very easily.

Using the TikTok logo in the app is kinda inappripriate, but otherwise yeah, I think just saying “TikTok for X” gets the idea across in the most concise way. Adding some info on what the videos could be from would be nice though (i.e. do I paste a bunch of YouTube links, or upload files myself, or..?)
You're correct - Doctave Studio is for making local development easier. It packages the whole "authoring environment", so it's all you need to start writing.

It's technically not WYSIWYG, but you do get a side-by-side real-time preview of your rendered Markdown content and OpenAPI specs that update as you type.

You get autocomplete, broken links checking, etc. Everything you'd expect from an editor.
It's literally the same thing. The medium doesn't matter, see Einstein's equations. It all boils down to "relative to what". Light moves slower around a black hole, and that is in a vacuum. None of the arguments make any actual sense.
An interesting paper would take the existing LLMs and see how well they can do flagging problematic work.

I would like to see this as well. I would be curious if LLM's start to see the same patterns I see having read half of nih.gov going down many rabbit holes of researchers scratching each others backs, pencil whipping reviews and such. Can LLM's pick up on such behavior or might that require something closer to human intelligence? I do not know enough about LLM's to even guess. Could it perhaps at least pick up on entirely fake papers from Youtubers pranking the system to see if they can get their silliest papers published? I report them but by the time they are taken down the Youtubers have had a large number of views and laughs.
Azure Blob storage is considerably cheaper than S3 or Google, for example. (Not cheaper than Cloudflare, but that one doesn't have a supported FUSE driver). I've been trying hard to find instances where they lost data and could not.

Similar thinking, I've been through much pain from a class hierarchy degrading into an unusable mess, also done a lot of rework refactoring those and it doesn't pay off.

Instead of inheritance I much rather prefer the composition approach, not extending classes but defining interfaces for the API, using other classes in the composition of an object rather than relying on overrides/implementations from a base class. It's much clearer to reason about (no more 3-4 layers of indirection), easier to refactor as well.
But not in cheating or grades, etc. Spam filters are completely different from this.
I don't remember exactly, but I think we were only allowed the simplest calculators in middle school (none before), and scientific calculators in high schools (mostly for the trigonometric and power functions). I got to use a TI in university, but never used it that much as I've got the basic function graphs memorized.
>I have found that OOP with inheritance is actually a form of tight coupling and that it is best to not use class hierarchies [..] I just completely disagree with inheritance in all forms

This is pretty common advice (at least IME), usually distilled into the form "prefer composition to inheritance".

I don't know what the rest of the world calls "cursive", but here in the US the cursive we get taught is strictly inferior: slower to write, less compact on the page, and harder to read (while also being strictly uglier than true calligraphy). It's a script designed for allowing you to avoid lifting a quill from the page and thereby avoiding ink blots; it's entirely obsolete.

Just give it another decade and you will be telling us how it's ok that all monitors come with smart features and how you can just ignore them with only minor annoyances.
I agree, that's mostly because the usage patterns have become apparent and you know what features you need and what to optimise for. That's why I prefer managed services to start and then can self-host once price or needs pushes me to.
>give up on very loud but apparently hollow arguments related to the damage we are causing to the planet.

Which 'hollow arguments' are you referring to?
I don’t think the issue is how much of “science” is fake. It’s how you define “science”.

There have always been lower quality work and journals that are inherently given lower weight in the scientific community. Many of these lower quality papers just aren’t considered by working scientists. It’s a bit like email… once you start seeing a significant amount of spam, you just get used to ignoring it. This is a feature of the system. Scientific consensus can change over time, but it takes a lot of evidence to get there. But some papers get more weight than others.

For me, there are two real issues - first, public trust in science. When the public thinks that 14% or “science” is fake, they are likely to discount all scientific findings, regardless of source. This can be dangerous, especially for a public who is already distrustful of science/academia in general. So, instead of looking at results with a critical eye, the danger is that a large fraction of the public will just ignore all results.

The second issue is in polluting AI training. When you feed extra garbage into a system, you’ll get garbage out of the system. As LLMs get more specialized having high quality inputs for training is critically important. A contributing force here is that lower tier journals (those most susceptible to faked data), are also the most likely to make the full text of papers widely available. So, the easiest data to get for training is also the most likely to have faked data.
I've never seen actual junk that doesnt work from a fake brand with a legit UPC barcode, which seems to indicate it's an effective gate keeper, if people cared to look at it.
Let's talk about the actual one page extract of her essay, which can be seen in the article, it is the second image.

My take is, if she used AI to generate that, she didn't use a very good one. I don't think ChatGPT would make the grammar and clarity mistakes that you see in the image text.

I see this:

"should be exposed to many of these forms and models to strengthen understanding" - much better as "should be exposed to as many of these forms and models as possible to strengthen their understanding"

"it is mentioned that students should have experiencing understanding the..." - plainly wrong, better would be "it is mentioned that students should have experience understanding the..."

"time with initial gird models" -> "time with initial grid models"

And there are other lines that could be improved.

My opinion is, the only solution to this problem is to allow AI detectors to flag work, but that when a work is flagged, that flagging just triggers a face to face meeting between the student and the professor, where the student is required to show through discussion of the work that they understand it well enough to have written it.

However! Often the professor is too busy, or isn't smart enough to review the writing of the student carefully enough to determine whether the student really wrote it. What to do? Why of course: invent AI systems that are really good at interviewing students well enough to tell if they really wrote a piece of work. Yeah you laugh but it will happen some day soon enough.
Nothing sophisticated about this attack.
As another comment pointed out, it's a Douglas Adams quote.

> This is pretty common advice (at least IME), usually distilled into the form "prefer composition to inheritance".

I think this is why in the current JavaScript era, it is rare to find a popular library that makes significant use of inheritance (as opposed to just supporting interfaces) even though it is supported in the language.

ThreeJS is one of those exceptions, but they are few and far between.
Maybe there needs to be a torrentable offline-first HTML file (only goes online to tell you if there's a new torrent whatsoever with more files), that lets you look through for more torrents (Magnet links are really tiny).

I miss when TPB used to have a CSV of all their magnet links, their new UI is trash. I can't even find anything like the old days, pretty much TPB is a dying old relic.

FWIW Turnitin does treat things like quotes and footnotes a little differently on the academic side – on the instructor end, it simply gives you an estimation of the amount of text it found that has appeared somewhere else. Citations usually account for about 5-10% "potentially plagiarized" but anything below 10% is treated as fine by the software. You can always go check each of the sections and see if it's a quote or not; if you have a paper that consists of more than 10% quotes it's not a good paper anyway and should be revised.

I did have a very interesting case once of a student who copied and pasted someone's Master's thesis for sections of her paper, but also listed that thesis in the citations... it remains up to the jury (not me) to decide whether she just didn't understand what plagiarism was. I would not have known if Turnitin didn't mark it as 30% plagiarized.

Disclaimer: Someone more senior than I was in charge of the decision to use this software, but it was interesting to see it in action

I recently deployed an AI detector for a large K12 platform (multi-state 20k+ students), and they DO work in the sense of saving teachers time.

You have to understand, you are a smart professional individual who will try to avoid being detected, but 6-12th grade students can be incredibly lazy and procrastinate. You may take the time to add a tone, style and cadence to your prompt but many students do not. They can be so bad you find the "As an AI assistant..." line in their submitted work. We have about 11% of assignments are blatantly using AI, and after manual review of over 3,000 submitted assignments GPTZero is quite capable and had very few (<20) false positives.

Do you want teachers wasting time loading, reviewing and ultimately commenting on clear AI slop? No you do not, they have very little time as is and that time will be better spent helping other students.

Of course, you need a process to deal with false positives, the same way we had one for our plagiarism detector. We had to make decisions many years ago about what percentage of false positives is okay, and what the process looks like when it's wrong.

Put simply, the end goal isn't to catch everyone, it's to catch the worst offenders such that your staff don't get worn down, and your students get a better education.
You are correct that - for many common environments - IPv6 lacks a compelling case for deployment. However, that is not universally true: for those organizations closer to the core of the Internet (with corresponding larger traffic and growth rates), the premise that you can carry all the traffic through CGNAT fails (simply review communications on the nanog mailing list from organizations such as Comcast, T-mobile, ATT, Google, MSFT Azure, Amazon, Verizon, etc.) to see clear evidence of such…. IPv6 solves their IPv4 exhaustion problem and has allowed the Internet continue to grow - if you’re not seeing a similar need, then it is simply that you are not at the core of the Internet.
It's a fair point that Chomsky's ideas about grammars are used in parsing programming languages. But linguistics is supposed to deal with natural languages -- what has Chomskyan linguistics accomplished there?

Contrast to the statistical approach. It's easy to point to something like Google translate. If Chomsky's approach gave us a tool like that, I'd have no complaint. But my sense is that it just hasn't panned out.

In general, the requirement is the following:

a) Check for the possibility of the maneuver;
b) signal the maneuver;
c) perform the maneuver.

However the signaling needs to be done in a way that it helps other road users to read and act according to your maneuver, so 3 seconds seems to be a good amount of time for that.

There are, on the other hand, situations where signaling the maneuver is also desirable even though the maneuver might not be possible yet: merging into a full lane, so vehicles might free up some space to let you merge.

I think 10GTek. However there were only 2 of them in the uplink ports on a 24x1Gbps switch in a server cabinet with decent airflow. They might have been getting up to 60C but I don't think they were hitting as high as you were saying. I've since replaced with a 8x10Gbps Hasivo switch so I can't check anymore.
It's an awfully silly choice to use a managed service that only offers JavaScript and wasm if you don't want to use JavaScript and you care enough about performance that you're willing to accept the fairly meager benefits of wasm over JS. The real reason you'd choose wasm in this case is "I don't want to use JavaScript and I'm otherwise forced to use this service".
A few thoughts, Netflix works fine over an old, slow DSL connection. Fossil fuels aren't going away this century, especially not with power hungry AI (setting aside discussion on whether AI is truly worth it).
No.

A Mind Map has labeled edges (and usually only edges, no nodes). It was invented by Tony Buzan and he has a bunch of rules that they have to obey.

A Concept Map had labeled edges between nodes and an education theory behind it. It was invented by Joseph Novak, building on ideas by David Ausubel.

Mind Mapping tools usually produce neither.
In my observation something paradox happens when teachers use LLM-Detectors to fail their students on dubious detection probabilities.

The teacher accuses the student of using the LLM to perform the task they are assigned. This entails not properly understanding the assignment and presenting an accomplishment which has not been achieved by the student themselves.

On the other hand the teacher using an LLM tool also do not understand the reasoning of the decision and present often present them as their own judgement. A judgement that has not truly been felled by the teacher because they do not use the tool for understanding but for deferring their responsibilities.

In doing so the teacher is engaging in the same act of (self-)deception they are accusing the student of: presenting an achievement not truly reached through their own understanding, even if the situation necessitates it (non-deferrable learning vs. non-deferrable decision).

The use of LLM-detection in this way thus mirrors the very problem it seeks to address.
