Diffie Hellman, Homomorphic encryption, zero knowledge proofs, decentralized triple (sender, messenger, receiver) layered protocol.

Faraday caged, deafened power supply, Heartbeat/pulse sensors, proximity sensors, voltage sensors, EM/radio triggers, dead-man switch, all reporting with constantly rotating codes.

Multiple servers in different locations, depending on threat model because of jurisdiction, with XOR'd secrets, with random access to memory to obfuscate the real address if it needs zeroed/oned/zeroed, Da Vinci codex style.

Make access directly tied to reputation/staked interest/invitation, with subtle canaries and watermarks.

Even if it got super-chilled and no noticeable voltage disruption, and someone didn't set off any other alarm bells, they still have to get the other machine within the timeout.

And you could just do 3/5 multi-sig, and apply CAP theorem.

But if the best people in the world can't do it ("for more than a year"), then there is something less than ideal in the above hypothetical.
Cqwrteur's fork of Linux kernel, rename it to Cinux
> By your logic, many video games have been “open source” for decades because tools were accessible to modify the binary files in certain ways. We lacked the source code, but that’s just “part of the development process”, and maybe parts like comments were lost during the compiling process, but really, why isn’t it open source?

Because the binaries were not licensed under a FOSS license?

Also, as I note in another comment [0], source code is the preferred form of a piece of software for making modifications to it. The same cannot be said about the training data, because getting from that to weights costs hundreds of millions of dollars in compute. Even the original companies prefer to fine-tune their existing foundation models for as long as possible, rather than starting over from training data alone.

> In short, your argument doesn’t work because source code is to binaries as training data is to MLMs.

I disagree. Training data does not allow me to recreate an LLM. It might allow Jeff Bezos to recreate an LLM, but not me. But weights allow me to modify it, embed it, and fine tune it.

The weights are all that really matters for practical modification in the real world, because in the real world people don't want to spend hundreds of millions to "recompile" Llama when someone already did that, any more than people want to rewrite the Linux kernel from scratch based on whiteboard sketches and mailing list discussions.

Interglacial periods are a part of ice ages. Even tells you right at the beginning of that article.

> Individual pulses of cold climate within an ice age are termed glacial periods (glacials, glaciations, glacial stages, stadials, stades, or colloquially, ice ages), and intermittent warm periods within an ice age are called interglacials or interstadials.

You can actually see the definition (albeit a little verbose) as the first sentence of that article:

> An ice age is a long period of reduction in the temperature of Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental and polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers.

On a technicality, you can get me for not mentioning the snow capped mountains part, I'd concede on that. That part is actually news to me. All the same, the earth is colder than it usually is. [1]

An interesting thing I like to bounce around in my head: Could we live in the interior of the Pangean super continent if we had to? Interesting stepping stone between Earth's current, very mild climate, and trying to live in a place like Venus. Definitely would have to live like mole people.

They are, and I actually believe that they’ve done a good job of all that stuff (though suspect that using their weird Mac hardware in the DC can’t possibly be a truly superior option to the NVIDIA hardware the entire rest of the world is using, but let’s assume I’m wrong).

But are you suggesting I will be able to flip a switch to use their cloud for all the same AI stuff instead of my battery-powered phone? That would be really welcome news! I haven’t used any of the betas so I know nothing about how “Apple Intelligence” works.
Well, current approach guarantees you’re getting screwed over. Any improvement is beneficial unless it blocks a better approach?

It is interesting work, but I feel like this is mostly just marketting fluff. Even reducing energy cost by 75% by switching from photosythesis to some hypothetical chemical food, that still comes out to about 400,000 watts per acre for 16 hours a day. Because using high efficiency grow LEDs you need 1.5 million watts minimum per acre for staple crops.

I don't see how we are anywhere even close to the energy requirements needed for vertical farming to be anything but a gimmick for multiple decades.
You don't know about knight? It went to zero from $400M in 45 minutes due to a bad deployment. Or about the power outage in 2003 due to a software bug which is estimated to have cost billions.

The CEO, no matter how incompetent has other intelligent people at least try to not make the company go bankrupt.

> Newspapers are a business and have to give their customers what they want.

If this is all we expect of journalism in a Democracy, then the current state of the "business" of "news" in the US should be satisfactory to all.
Well, US is still a somewhat free country, so anybody can publish any opinion they want to publish, anytime they want to. I have nothing against that, in fact, I must admit I am guilty of it myself - I have a blog where I publish my opinions. It would be very hypocritical to me to deny anybody else the vices I enjoy myself. I think just realizing those people aren't better or worse than anybody else and do not deserve any special consideration is enough.
I don't think your comment is really true, LLM providers and researchers have been a bit too eager to claim their software is mystically complex. Anthropic's research is shedding light on interpretability, there has been good work done on the computational complexity side, and I am quite confident that the issue is LLM's newness and complexity, not that the problem is actually intractable (or specifically "more intractable" than other hopelessly complex software like Facebook or Windows).

To the extent the problem is intractable, I think kt mostly reflects that LLMs have an enormous amount of training data and do an enormous amount of things. But for a given specific problem the training data can tell you a lot:

- whether there is test contamination with respect to LLM benchmarks or other assessments of performance

- whether there's any CSAM, racist rants, or other things you don't want

- whether LLM weakness in a certain domain is due to an absence of data or if there's a more serious issue

- whether LLM strength in a domain is due to unusually large amounts of synthetic training data and hence might not generalize very reliably in production (this is distinct from test contamination - it is issues like "the LLM is great at multiplication until you get to 8 digits, and after 12 digits it's useless")

Because they own the newspaper. The question answers itself. There isn't any reason some random employee should have their opinion privileged over the owner. Or vice versa, to be fair, but the joy of being an owner is being able to pull rank.

If an owner can't get decisions made in a way that is favourable to them then there are very real questions about whether they are, in fact, owning the company.
Also, do you seriously think any more right wing paper wouldn't have leaked it if their owner had prevented them from endorsing? That if their owner had come in saying he preferred Harris and they couldn't endorse Trump that they'd have just gone home like "Hey, free market, he's rich, that's how it works?" Half of major right wing media is run by people whose whole identity is "a major paper said I couldn't write what I wanted so I quit and wrote what I wanted anyway". Getting "canceled" by a major newspaper is pretty much the #1 way to end up rich on Substack these days. They go around parading how much they're "free speech advocates" because they "won't let the rich elites decide what I can write" but suddenly when the rich elites are suppressing an endorsement of a more left candidate it's "it's bad faith and retaliatory to speak out about the rich deciding what you can publish".
So i read another article on Business Insider and it makes me question as the CEO left Character.AI and went back to Google... makes me question was it really low paid un-monitor consultants from a foreign country behind the keyboard and not real AI?

If so we need laws against the whole fake it before you make it crap that proliferates start-ups and their use of it to rise to the top. Many successful startups use this lying/faking playbook some to the point of even killing or mangling innocent people (Uber's self driving car & Cruise).

Well, somebody may care, and by random chance or a strike of luck they may just hire somebody whose opinion is worth hearing... I am just saying we shouldn't assume it upfront just because there's a bunch of guys that is paid for doing it. If there's a blog on the internet and it is interesting, I read it. If not, I ignore it. I don't stand in awe or cower in reverence just because some guy has a blog. Same should be done for opinion pages - it should be afforded reverence only after proving its worth, not upfront.
First half of this comment is going to be the history. Second half are the solutions.

The tech companies started collecting data to "fix" their initial solutions to Info Explosion the network they designed produced. This info collection was used to improve search and discovery. In the arms race with each other to collect the most info about everyone, they made email, chat, search, video, games etc "Free". Market capture became the goal. The only way to keep it free was to sell the info collected to advertisors. And when they realized the advertisors didn't have the skills to build the tech to target people with all that info, they then built Ad Tech for them which has becomes their largest source of Revenue.

Technologists have not shown any signs at any point in this story that they knew what they were dealing with. They were quick to take credit for anything positive that came out of this half baked system. And then blame everyone else - the investors are stupid - the customers are stupid - the advertisors are stupid - and the corporations who fund the advertisors are stupid.

When Promoting Tech Leaders with the above traits know what you buy,

Change and solutions come from accepting Human Attention is finite, and the Internet has Produced more Content than there is Attention in the world to Consume it. This state won't last for ever.

So before it blows up, think about how your systems handle Attention at individual and global levels. Some stuff ppl are already working on -

Algos optimizing for time spent on platforms, shift to optimizing for *value derived per unit of time*. Success would be mean deprioritizing over sensationalized headlines and repetitive trends.

Mindful Consumption features - allow users to *allocate specific amounts of time* for creative or exploratory content versus purely entertainment-based content.

Centralized discovery around large corp creates homogeneity in the content and snuffs out stuff the early internet was famous for. Promote more decentralized models of content discovery where individuals or small groups curate unique content ecosystems. ANd use AI to help users discover niche stuff instead of simply reinforcing their current pref.

Users "spend" their attention, but media platforms rarely reward or recognize this. That model has to change.

Subscription models (Netflix, Substack etc) have to be refined further to produce/promote content that otherwise get lost in ad-driven ecosystems.

Interactive and collaborative content beats passive content consumtion systems in terms of generating meaning ala early internet. Shifts focus from virality to depth.

Add features that slow down consumption. *Time-limited content feeds* or *content scheduling* etc

Once handling Attention as a finite resource becomes a guide lot of paths open up in terms of how to fix things. Also don't just work with tech people bring in people from art, sociology, polsci, economics, law as early as you can in any design process. Mistakes and failure should be rewards cause thats the only path to discovery of something better.
Yikes. The sheer, unacknowledged hubris of this is bewildering. Let’s just remake the arid west?

It's impressive software for an ADAS.

But it's not a robotaxi. Even its level of sensor and compute redundancy is not ready to be a robotaxi. Nothing shown at the Cybercab event changed that. They go for form over reliability every time.

With HW3, they ate their redundant compute node because they underestimated the compute required for the task.

Now even with the redundant node utilized for non-redundant purposes, that doesn't seem to be enough as they are finally admitting HW3 will never not be "supervised".

And then the many years of lying about its upcoming readiness. There are websites out there where you can find all of Musk's quotes about it being just around the corner, or their current generation of vehicles all becoming money-making robotaxis with a little software update worldwide.

There's no indication at all they'll break out of the 100-120 miles per safety disengagement they currently sit at (community tracker, Tesla themselves doesn't publish reviewable safety data).

You being happy that your car can finally make zero intervention trips is NOT the standard necessary for taking the driver out of the seat.

Calling an important aspect of most cultures as "propaganda" is rich. You don't have to be religious (I'm not religious and wasn't religious at that time either) to recognize that it's useful to understand those beliefs and how we worked our way to the modern age. That's how you help students to learn our current understanding of the world such that they are less susceptible to eating up blatant lies and believing that school was just indoctrinating them.

Sure, but let's not pretend the writers at the paper are deciding this is better for their future. And let's not even give Bezos the grace that this is about if the Post succeeds.

I’m not even slightly worried that Apple’s customers are making anything but the best choice for them. At least the ones who are super happy with how “easy and safe” their system is.

All people like me want is for there to be a switch to let us have the ultimate say over our computers. This used to be standard even on Macs until a few years ago.

I admit, however, complete ignorance on how I’m supposed to install, say, Windows, on an M* Mac. As far as I knew, the T2 security chip or whatever is the decider of that, and I wasn’t aware that Apple made any promises that they’d allow such a thing as an OS that isn’t signed with Apple’s certificates. What you’re saying is news to me so I’ll have to look it up.

Still though, I actually still mostly like “macOS” and want to keep using it, but would like to have the right to do things like turn off their dozens of permissions warnings, and assume full responsibility for not installing malware.

A sibling post answers your question, but I found your quote interesting for a different reason: This working set property seems like something that would be very useful in practice for quite a few problems, even if it can't be pushed all the way to proving universal optimality. We often have some freedom in choosing what order to supply inputs to a problem we're trying to solve; if we can order things so that, 99% of the time, the minimum item that we're looking for turns out to be within the last 1000 items considered instead of the complete set of 1000000, that's a nearly 10x constant factor speed up right there.
Endorsements have never been without the blessing and influence of the owner of that paper or institution. The extent that an owner lets the editorial team pick an endorsement is the same extent to which they align philosophically. It's an illusion of choice or independence.

If papers were meant to be more neutral, I suppose they would need to be owned as cooperatives by the subscribers themselves, assuming the subscribers were balanced and philosophically diverse.
That would be YOU'RE bias. Google search has most definitely gotten both more biased, and worse in terms of the quality, number, and diversity of search results over the past 5 years.
Yeah, it's normal. Nobody remembers what anyone works on. You just go incrementally, then before you realize it, you're past a million downloads. The sleep deprivation and anxiety make it worse.

What I do is have an entire week plan on Workflowy. Split that into daily lists. Populate it with tickets you plan to take. Then move them around until the day you actually finish them and mark them as complete on the day. It's a good record.
