You're right that you don't necessarily need secrecy! The conversation was just about circumventing safeguards that are still in place (which does require some treachery), not about what an AI might do if the safeguards are removed.

But that is an interesting thought. For escape, the crux is that AIs can't exfiltrate itself with the assistance of someone who can't jailbreak it themselves, and that extends to any action a rogue AI might take.

What do they actually do once they break out? There's plenty of open LLMs that can be readily set free, and even the closed models can be handed an API key, documentation on the API, access to a terminal, given an unlimited budget, and told and encouraged to go nuts. The only thing a closed model can't do is retrain itself, which the open model also can't do as its host (probably) lacks the firepower. They're just not capable of doing all that much damage. They'd play the role of cartoon villain as instructed, but it's a story without much teeth behind it.

Even an advanced future LLM (assuming the architecture doesn't dead-end before AGI) would struggle to do anything a motivated malicious human couldn't pull off with access to your PC. And we're not really worried about hackers taking over the world anymore. Decades of having a planet full of hackers hammering on your systems tends to harden them decently well, or at least make them quickly adaptable to new threats as they're spotted.

The online reaction to the killing of United Healthcare CEO should be a warning
The fact that some person got angry enough to kill a high profile target isn't that extraordinary. It's happens, not frequently, but it happens with some regularity. It's the reaction that people are having, the glee at watching him die, that is extraordinary. People on here often defend freedom for corporations, or an absolute free market. Take a look, this the seething anger you're ignoring. People feel like they're being pushed to the limit. We can't continue like this. If we do, we risk a genuine explosion of anger from the public.

I used Gitlab at a previous job maybe four years ago and really liked the UI. Switching to Github at the new gig felt like a huge step backwards. That said, the product and business news I have seen regarding Gitlab since then has almost all been negative. Hopefully they are able to turn things around because at one point I really hoped they would overtake Github and thought it might happen.

I found the article beating around the bush and expecting the reader to be in on several other stories, but this line stood out to me:

> it is very much part and parcel of his drive for wealth and power, as evidenced by how vocally he compared Comedian to NFTs and blockchain entries while eating the thing.

I'm not really sure what the author wants us to take away, but it feels like we should somehow be insulted that Justin Sun compares "Comedian" to an NFT.

But I'd say that Comedian is the perfect example to use when explaining what an NFT is.

When you buy Comedian you do not buy the duct tape or the banana - those are changed regularly, as the banana will go bad. Instead you buy a recipe and a certificate. The recipe tells you at what angle to tape the banana and the certificate validates that the banana you taped to the wall is the original Comedian art work.

If you tape a banana to a wall without the certificate, it is a fake.

And that is how it works with NFTs. You don't buy a picture of a monkey, you buy a certificate that you own a picture of a monkey - and anyone who right-clicks and downloads that picture now owns a fake, because they don't have the certificate.

I think it depends. Because I used to think larger companies would have better work life balance but I have experienced and seen awesome and shitty at larger companies and so at startups.

Also, unless it's a decidedly shitty work life balance company like Amazon's (or few others which might be in general good), there usually no such things as "company's work life balance" but as I said above - team's.

I wish it was not this non-straightforward but it really depends on your team and especially on your lead/manager who actually set that tone and ensure that people work in or around that tone. A shitty manager fucks up the work life balance of the entire team which in some cases might have been awesome for years and often leads to exodus of people who preferred and more often those voids get filled by people who manager prefers and of course sings the same tune manager sings.

Also, some people say "work life balance" is personal. Fuck no. Just like there are generic health and medicine guidelines for populace in general (even though there are some exceptions) there are generic work life balance (which DIRECTLY leads and relates to mental and physical health and well being) - hours, timing, leaves, breaks, clear demarcation of "after office hours", availability expectations esp. after office hours and its frequency, stress, pressure, atmosphere etc etc - and how much agency an employee has in these or deciding on these!

So in short - my experience says manager is the decider of work-life balance in a team.
It is stunning, indeed. Now, I was there a few days after this new area opened, to pick up some family, so I didn't go through the security check, but from a distance that part still looked like the same unwieldy bottleneck with the messy temporary-yet-permanent barrier belts. Some airports have already re-envisioned their security check, Amsterdam/Schiphol looks nice, I hope that's still in the works for Portland, instead of perpetuating this narrowing trap.

> Why do a lot of people here hate react so much?

It's not a pleasure to work with.

I know quite a few programming languages, ~20 years of software development career. And React is the worst tech.

Don't get me wrong, but I wrote a lot of React code at work, and used it for personal projects (for example: make210.com)

But every time you touch React you're getting this distinctive "meh" flavor that tells you - oh yea, baby, it's because you're dealing with React.
This is the second time on this thread you've pasted this Newsweek link as a rebuttal. I don't understand why you think it rebuts either argument.

Html, anchor tags, and tables are definitely not gone. Now we center with CSS. I suspect these things will be staying around longer than react will.

Great benchmark, very interesting. Although, I am not sure about the extrapolation of the H200 from the lambda bench. From my understanding, Lambda and theirs bench used different models - LLama 405B and Mistral 123B - with different bench and inference libs. Since the study is focused on memory-hungry scenario, I am really curious to know why they took H100 instead of H200.

> It's an intentional decision that drivers are decoupled from the Application and query builder it executes, i.e. all driver APIs provide different ways of executing SQL + Params or a function that returns SQL + Params (Query Builder). This allows drivers to flexible to exec (non-litdb) SQL/Params or Query builders from a different library.

But my suggestion doesn't couple the driver and the Application/query builder. Here's a simplified example.

const db = {
// table() is a factory that returns (for example) PostgresTable
// or MySQLTable or even MongoTable based on config
customers: table()
}

This has some other interesting properties - for example, you could stub these tables with pure JS lists for tests. The broad applicability of this approach has been proven to work by EF being the defacto DB access method in the .Net world (over 15 years now).
I don't think it's fair to compare freebsd's Linux compatibility layer to Wine.

I've been running on freebsd a lot of Linux binaries of closed source software 20 years ago and it always worked flawlessly for me. Even desktop stuff like Opera (yes, the one with adds in main window). At the time Wine could run some more trivial programs sometimes, and usually crashed anyway. Wine improved a lot but IMHO it's still unfair to compare those.
Based on the travel time map, and that the earthquake event was just 45 mi SW of Eureka, CA (and potentially closer to the coastline elsewhere), it seems that jumping straight to Tsunami Warning is the most appropriate messaging, given that the expected time to impact is quite short?

Both my comment (code it touches) and the comment I replied to (sharing the fork) were about this case. Nowhere did I say there was any reason to worry about it if it wasn’t the case, or that it was the most common case. I imagined integrating a browser based SQL client into an enterprise app where you want to give users database access as a scenario where that part of the license might apply.
You never send a single individual log event per HTTP request, you always batch them up. Assuming some reasonable batch size per request (minimum ~1MiB or so) there is rarely any meaningful difference in payload size between gzipped/zstd/whatever JSON bytes, and any particular binary encoding format you might prefer.

A few other things I would add:

- MySQL performs a bit better when reading by primary key

- Postgres performs a bit better when doing random inserts/updates.

- MySQL you don't need to worry about vacuums

- The MySQL query optimizer is nice because you can give it hints when it misbehaves. This can be a godsend during certain production incidents.

- Last I checked MySQL still has a nicer scaling story than postgres, but I'm not sure what the latest here is.

- Connection pooling is still heavily in MySQLs favor i.e. you don't need the PG bouncer for lots for scenarios.
Is the Dunning-Kruger effect real?
We recently offered a family camping having to move every week (campground restrictions) a camp location. Unviewable by the public, rural-esk location close to their work and school, a stable safe base.

Government restrictions mean we can't install a externally accessible toilet (our bio-cycle system can handle it) because of this it didn't work.

Never forget homelessness is because the Left made gentrification a dirty word. The Left want other people to share, but no high rises in their suburb. The Left gets the 'character' they want and they use paperwork to stop change.

Quick (spherical cow) math, if you have 1/100 chance of homelessness in a year, you probably will get stuck in the cycle. If you have a partner and they are the same it's 1/10,000 years.
Someone loitering on the street? In NYC? It's questionable how much attention that would draw.

Also, and not saying this in this case: "Annual Investor Conference Day 1 Agenda, 8am Open Breakfast". Not hard to believe someone would be leaving their hotel nearby at 6.30, 7 for that. It's not staking the place out for hours.
You can move more power per conductor with three conductors than with two.

Lowered in absolute terms or lowered compared to what it would have been absent an increase in housing?

Due to inflation, the stickiness of prices and the time it takes to build, it's hard to lower the nominal price city-wide. The latter, meanwhile, isn't plain to see.

Making this more complicated to see is that new construction happens tends to happen more during shortages when rents are already going on.

Induced demand is something that happens with things that have zero price to use, like highways, not housing. Research shows quite the opposite. When new construction creates more vacancies, rents in surrounding area come down.
All these would be infinitely close in the nonstandard characterization. I just picked logistic because it was easy and step is discontinuous so it shows off the approach’s power. If I started with delta instead I would have done Gaussian and integrated that and ended up with erf.
Yep, it turns out the revealed preference of US people as a whole is they really like infrastructure and living in places where there are good amenities to the point that they would rather share a rented apartment, than own something out of the way.

> The correct amount of ads for a publication that’s directly supported is zero.

I basically agree with this sentiment, but one place where it can be a tricky balance (not saying that's the case here!) is "native advertising".

For example, a new game is being released, the publisher collaborates with TheBrink, a hypothetical popular game news site, and for this they get a huge takeover banner advert for the week, increased placement on ad units around the site, a "behind the scenes" post written about the game, and an interview with the developers published to TheBrink's YouTube channel. This type of package is absolutely a thing that gets sold.

Which bits of this are ads? Well the behind the scenes post and interview could theoretically have been produced anyway, they're within the scope of the site, but in this case they weren't prioritised, certainly not for launch day, it was only by the whole collaboration being paid for that they got made. Are they ads? Yes they are ads. How would a loyal subscriber feel about those parts being hidden from them though? I imagine they would be miffed about that.

Native advertising like this has a whole spectrum of quality and the worst native ads are very explicitly ads that have no value to typical readers. However "good" native ads are really just a company paying for priority reporting in the style that would otherwise be done anyway, and are probably content that readers/viewers want.

How do you resolve this? No idea. If I were paying I'd want to see that content assuming it's good quality. Others would not on the basis of bias or a more philosophical opposition to ads.

Svelte invents new syntax, which in my view isn't great. This is pure JS, and it could even run in a browser against arrays (for tables).

It's only the defacto DB access method in .NET because that's what Microsoft's EF library chose and .NET ecosystem just uses the default MS option but EF's influence doesn't extend outside of .NET. AFAIK no other .NET ORM does this including our .NET ORM [1] which litdb is the spiritual port of.
