In a final lecture at UC Berkeley this semester, Dawn Song was very clear that malicious fine tuning is a top priority among implementers right now.

"Towards building safe and trustworthy AI Agents and a Path for Science- and Evidence-based AI Policy."
I think it is more about urban vs rural voters. Latter group is more likely to vote with CG, even after emigrating. It takes more time for them to pick up western values simply because they are economically disadvantaged at home and to a lesser degree abroad as well.
The best opinion is the one formed with the most information. If learning something new about the facts of the case changes someone's reaction to it, it is probably for the better.

If this were not the case, democracies would work best when the public was not taught to read. :-) Can we really argue that the public is too stupid to be trusted with the ability to communicate? If that is the idea we should admit, at least, that what is being considered inverts every principle of the free world.
The problem is simple, either that astroturfing is so effective because it's rooted in truth and resonates with the issues the electors are concerned with, or electors are so easily influenceable that we can't have democracy without giving up free speech. Pick one.
I think those kind of answers might be exactly what the court is talking about. You don’t have to “remove” something to influence its reach.

They’re denying stuff that doesn’t matter while leaving plenty of room for the kind of behavior that does.

To the question that you quoted: asked a question in the past tense, they responded in the present. Asked whether individual people had made requests, they answered whether they currently act on government requests.

It reads as such a non-denial denial.
Because just as much effort is spent by Russia to present the appearance of a broad variety of demographics all uniting to mock and make light of the very idea that Russia is spending great effort to undermine democracy and get their people in there.

That's pretty fundamental. I've seen these efforts be real heavyhanded. It's almost more important to hide their tracks as it is to push 'vox populi' that appear to advocate for a political outcome. They really try very hard to not be publically associated in these things.

What with various things out of TASS, MTG etc recently, I think they're trying to have it both ways, and both ride on general public skepticism of their role while also publically threatening those who are privy to their works.
If I'm in a rush to achieve a goal, using a new tool is going to slow me down, with or without a tutorial. I consequently find the tutorial of limited value and usually just something I scan through until I get to the "real" documentation. It's revelatory how this works for other people. I guess I always understood that, but didn't really "grok" it until now.
Seems like I got lucky – I have a "G" in mine!
This is my view for sure. Every one of those examples is responsible for more deaths than an above average serial killer, they just do it through some degree of abstraction and distance that for some reason means it doesn't count. I disagree, it still counts.
> The job of health insurance is to vet and deny claims.

It would be nice if they did that consistently and fairly, but they don’t.

Using an AI to review and deny claims with a (claimed) 90% error rate or denying claims without reading them is not vetting, it’s straight up negligence and fraud.

Even if you use a different definition you can acknowledge that someone else has a different view, and your original "if you don't like it, don't buy it" argument does not hold for that person.

Internet ads can in theory be turned on or off per user, it's no rocket science, so you could opt-in and everybody could be happy.
In particular, it has reporting on the chain back to Exxon and that the FBI is investigating the PR firm involved. The original CitizenLab article is more thorough, but only identifies the hack-for-hire group and the Indian company it operates out of.

Thank you for your insightful comments in this thread. I look forward to a digest of the material.
Ah interesting, yeah the whole container build -> CI build has been a long-standing paint point for me across Github, GitLab, and even Jenkins. I will investigate what depot.dev is doing.... cause yeah, proper and intelligent on-demand rebuilding of based containers could be a game changer.
You have to wait at least 8 months (it varies) to get a suppressor when you buy one. You also have to submit passport photos, get finger printed by either the sheriff or police chief, and then wait. This is in addition to a regular NICS type check.
The Unplanned Impact of Mathematics is a great illustration of the mathematical nature of the world.

This is a fascinating relationship, is there a definitive answer / theory on this ? Why are Mathematics so effective to describe the world ? Are Mathematics a feature of the Universe or merely a Human tool ?

I haven't been reading on the subject for quite some time, what are good books on this relationship between Mathematics and Nature?
The pleasure of sexual activity is not strongly linked to pregnancy. This kind of human intervention was unexpected in the evolution of nature.
Neither ruleset I proposed involves cheating, and neither GP nor the article are about wealth inequality per se. GP said he doesn't take issue with inequality itself.

Agreed with your broader point. In practice no one's individual emotional response is relevant: runaway wealth inequality is bad because it yields bad outcomes for society.

Capitalism works to the extent that it does because money becomes a signal for what people want, which very obviously fails if overwhelming proportions of money controlled by very few people.
I'm getting 2.12 tok/s[1] on a 24GB (4090) GPU and 64GB (7950x) CPU memory, splitting the model across the GPU and CPU (40/80 layers on GPU) with lm-studio. Output looks good so far, I can use something like this for a query that I want as good an answer as possible and that I don't want to send out on the network.

If we can get better quantization, or bigger GPU memory footprints, we might be able to use these big models locally for solid coding assistants. That's what I think we have to look forward to (among other benefits) in the year(s) ahead.

Girkin («Strelkov») is Russian agent from Russia. Do we need your permission to kill Russian invaders?
Even if we do accept that this executive was responsible for many deaths, you will need to find a law that lets you prosecute him or get one passed. There's a reason we don't just let people murder murderers, even if they have very good moral justification for it.
The 70% framing suggests that these systems are asymptotically approaching some human "100%," but the theoretical ceiling for AI capabilities is much higher.

> the future isn't about AI replacing developers - it's about AI becoming an increasingly capable collaborator that can take initiative while still respecting human guidance and expertise.

I believe we will see humans transition to a purely ceremonial role for regulatory/liability reasons. Airplanes fly themselves with autopilot, but we still insist on putting humans at the yoke because everyone feels more comfortable with the arrangement.
Yeah that was kind of my point. That's why it's better if there are more younger people to contribute than elderly people. If there's less, then the burder is greater on individuals.
Do you think that the factors you mentioned, most obviously drug overdoses, might be linked to being lonely and disconnected from family?
> this feels a lot like a commercial for Meyers Briggs.

how so?
this brings me joy.
I could not agree more. Where does the buck stop? From what I can tell United has almost double the national average for denials. They do what they do for the almighty dollar. Padding shareholder pockets has a direct effect on peoples lives and definitely results in at least some deaths.

If the highest level of executive is not held responsible then who is? The regulation and law in the US is heavily influenced by these companies lust for money and power via lobbyists. They are effectively a cartel. Do people honestly think this dude lost a wink of sleep over all the people who suffered from their wanton greed? I think not. As barbaric as it seems, he got exactly what he deserved.

The other side is visible in millions of ads, despite officially declaring that 0 money was spent on visibility.
> Then why aren't we talking about the influence of NATO&co as well? Because that can be found everywhere, starting from google search results. Search "elena lasconi campaign donors" on google, you'll get exclusively results about "far right kremlin backed election interference". Repeat the search on yandex.ru and you'll get actual results about Elena Lasconi.

NATO is a defensive military alliance. Has there been any proof that they're manipulating search results or social media sites?

Also, regarding your Google search: the reason why you're getting poor results is because you're searching in English for a subject predominantly connected to romanian language sites.
Almost all "advice" is ultimately an artistic decision: It's an arbitrary rule that each photographer can change.

However, there are rules that DO help improve the quality of photos, especially if you're a beginner. Then, to move beyond being a beginner, it's good to know how to break the rules (as with any art or discipline).
> few of the biggest ones do not want to accelerate electrification bad enough to threaten parts of their industry/economy right now

Do you see the problem? Those in control screw up and they expect to get bailed out by forcing people to buy their inferior and expensive products.

> The Ukraine war is the most clear-cut aggressor/victim situation

It's actually not that clear cut and if you apply the same filters for both of the countries you will see it. Try testing for internationally recognized borders and the situation is same for the Israeli invasion and Russian invasion. Test for separatist movements and you will find very similar things, test for minorities getting attacked and you will see that its quite similar. Not the same but when you pick something like "Russia must respect the internationally recognized borders" and you don't apply the same for Israel then you are a hypocrite, you are not doing it from standpoint of a principle but due to your own interest and if you are doing it out of your own interest people start asking why I'm paying for it? Where's my cut if this thing pans out?

> The non-private jets are a much bigger problem actually

I don't know if that's true or not but you ask people to sacrifice their comfort for a common cause, then everyone should do it.

> Because the people inside those borders don't want other people with no capital wandering

But then people start noticing that it's not the poor immigrants who want to work who buys al the properties. Some people want the poor stopped at the border and the rich welcomed. Others want different things, a lot of people don't want oligarchs buying all that property and leave it empty.

> I'd say the economy is not great, not terrible

In the case of the US elections, there were many opinion polls showing that people are not satisfied with the economy. They are also not satisfied with many other things related to the economy. Just yesterday someone killed an insurance CEO at a filthy rich location and so many people were cheering for the killer.
It would be interesting to have some highlighter over the titles to make it easier to scan. Could be some very simple AI in a browser extension. Maybe even have some color tags while there. Pretty simple.

The extensions I've tried added a bunch of features I don't care about.
Rule of thumb. Don't try to generalize until you have at least 3 distinct examples.

This does a lot to find pragmatic tradeoffs between performance and abstraction. It also pushes you away from the over-abstraction that leads to the Second System Effect, as coined by The Mythical Man-Month.
Also don't underestimate the value they're getting from making more overtures to the developer community. It could be a coincidence, but it's only since they started releasing these models that I started noticing people on HN calling them "Meta", and attitudes towards them have been far more positive of late than usual.

Good will isn't worth as much as cheap moderation automation and fancy features, but it's worth something.

I appreciate the details, but ultimately I still don't buy it. The people who voted for this guy have agency and decided for themselves. Yes, they were likely influenced by a likely state-actor campaign. But they still have agency, they liked what they were being presented with, and made the final call themselves on who to vote for.
> Do CEOs run companies or don't they?

They both do and don't simultaneously. Schrödinger's Responsibility. When the company makes money or does something good, it's because of the CEO's leadership...they are responsible because they are in charge. When the company loses money or does evil/bad, then the CEO has nothing to do with it, and instead it's either the fault of government, lone wolf low-level employees, customers, external factors, "economic trends", anything but themselves
Sorting them lexically would be trivial. Just calculate the index via the reverse permutation, similar to how search works.
I am unaware of any heads of government who are not offered salaries above a minimum wage. Further, having such connections gets you invited to the upper crust society events and networking connections.

Their direct role in the deaths of others is usually more concrete than that of any CEO.
> It was a compact or subcompact, with either the wrong booster or no booster in a can

Isn't this speculating as well?
I suspect we may see a tit-for-tat rider added to modern warfare since the big guys no longer bother trying to live within the spirit of the Geneva conventions. Russia is literally raping and geocoding all through their controlled areas of Ukrainian territory. Saw a video just last week were they ordered POWs to lie on the ground and they just shot them for no reason, this is common place. Why should Ukraine just throw up their hands and say “nothing we can do!”
"The international marketplace of ideas "

Market place implies transparent exchange of ideas. But if the TikTok algorithm is political biased, it is not a honest exchange of ideas anymore. (same goes for X's or FB, or whatever). But personally I am cool with not using those services.
Someone could do all of this, but it doesn't make any sense for a determined actor to do any of that in a place where it is easy (for a determined, relatively educated, and resourceful person) to get an already polished commercial option.
There is no doubt in my mind that while the decision today is backed by the law it still erodes democratic principles in my country.

Shadcn/UI on Rails
BolexNOLA did a fine job trying to focus the conversation on published facts and the sensible position that the onus is on the automakers to prove their trustworthiness after they betrayed public trust. This was not something you or potato3732842 really engaged with beyond an uncritical dismissal. If you want discourse, you have to bring something to the table.
Quality of life was terrible, but some things were still easier. Most importantly, that terrible quality of life was cheap enough that your kids could probably support you in your old age. Medical care wasn't so advanced, which is cheaper, but also means you had a good chance of dying younger or of a condition we could cure today. Housing was cheaper but also worse back then. Investments weren't accessible to the vast majority of people and "retirement" as a concept didn't really exist for the lower classes except as an idea that you would probably be too old to effectively do your job someday.
Nowadays, your kids probably can't afford to support you into your old age, and you probably don't have a pension, which means making more money now so that you don't have to work until you die. You have a lot more options for a higher quality of life, but they tend to require that you prioritize money over a family unless you are either in the privileged position of being able to afford both or poor enough that it doesn't matter.
I think you also generally need an exponentially increasing supply of working people in order for the economy to grow exponentially.
Personal income, that which sustains someones family, is vastly different then the billions made by United off the backs of those suffering. What, are you some healthcare exec or something?

This is not the own you think it is.
How to Bypass WhatsApp Web's Locked Chat Feature
I had an interesting discussion with my nephew about this post. He angers me with the way he talks about stuff, but I consider it an exercise in mental fortitude. Allow me to share his absolutely crazy and unreasonable thoughts on this:

"Nobody really wants more people except certain religious sects, and that is only because it allows them to use sexuality to control people. Most modern capitalists would favor automation precisely because it takes unreliable people out of the capitalistic equation and makes conversion of real property to wealth and power easier. The only reason why we're hearing about fertility and birth rate in the last few years is because certain religious organizations are scared they're going to end up losing their tax-free status and leveraging current social crises to make sure they stay relevant by any means necessary. I'm betting they have armies of incels ensnared in their fundamentalist ideologies getting tax-free money to shitpost on the various social networks."

I cut him off right there. I think he was drinking, and I haven't talked to him since. I'm considering having him committed because he acts very strange. He may have a drug problem.

Anyway I disagree with his premise because COVID-19 did really expose weaknesses in the supply chain and global world order and showed that depending completely on foreign entities can make you non-resilient in the face of disaster. So we do need strong families and all that stuff that's being talked about, it's a real actual need. And I do think making life better for people is the way to go, but we need to fix whatever decided that landlords should be getting most of the non-rich people's money first.
how about filing your expenses according to the law?
Drug addicts on the street has become people's impression of homelessness, but it is a completely dishonest one. Yes, that's a problem, no, homes aren't going to help solve it. Low barrier housing (where drug addicts can live without curtailing their lifestyles) is a quick way to lose support for all homeless programs in your region (no one wants to live near low barrier housing), and that adversely effects the larger problem that is actually solvable (housing affordability for functioning people).

Yes, ideally we have infinite resources and we can solve the drug addiction problem without becoming China or Singapore and just stigmatizing the problem to death. But we don't, and dumping in 95% of our funds allocated to homelessness to what is really a drug addiction problem, and barely seeing any progress in either problem, is eventually going to wear the public out.
I am sure our IT security department would jump right on to that if informed of it...
I think in philosophy there's something to be said for the difference between action and lack of action when it comes to culpability. Is a surgeon responsible for not being good enough to save a persons life? No, I don't think so. Is a surgeon responsible for not being sober for a planned surgery? In our society, yes. I think a lot of responsibility is determined by mens rea, and when you run a health insurance company you have good numbers for exactly how many lives you're going to effect when denying coverage.
Non-ASCII characters in email addresses have even worse compatibility issues than punctuation characters. Punctuation fails because people don't know the standard. Non-ASCII fails because people don't know the latest standard.
> that you could directly query

To take it even further, the language grammar could be a superset of the SQL grammar.

> Would it have to be a scripted language?

Not at all. It's just the first thing which came to mind. I'm tickled by the idea of having the entire program state (stack frames and all!) in SQLite so that you could ship a snapshot of your program around.

> There would be overhead compared to directly managing memory.

Of course, but if the critical queries were pre-compiled via sqlite3_prepare, I doubt the overhead would so greatly exceed the memory management overhead in language runtimes which ship with a GC that it would be a show-stopper.

Actually, it looks like it alternates between those two phrases.
As I mentioned in a different comment, there are other news articles about this event that imply illegitimate vote counts. Those are what I based my comment on. Another commenter pointed out that those are misleading.

I'd call the socipathic behavior trading a billion lives for a trillion dollars, but that's just something the parent came up with. What's the actual tradeoff, what sort of transition could have happened by now, to what extent was the rest of the scientific community aware of greenhouse gases, would a lot more nuclear power plants being built have been seen as better by the public?
yeah dude send it , I am thinking of writing a scripting language some years later and I have absolutely loved this idea.
Right, so what about if I don't like a candidate and I intentionally pump 1 million euro into her campaign so she gets disqualified? This is what the parent is asking about.

As much as I enjoy the concept, it’s already nearly impossible to get any goverment work done in Japan without taking a day off yourself. Everything government is open 9 to 5 and no more.

It’d be more exciting if this was basically anywhere else, but I guess we have to start somewhere.
