> If the average user is given unfettered access to the entire source code of his/her favorite app, does he suddenly understand it ? That seems like a ridiculous assertion.

And one that I didn’t make.

I don’t think when we say “we understand” we’re talking about your average Joe.

I mean “we” as in all of human knowledge.

> We can't pinpoint what weights, how and in what ways and instances are contributing exactly to basic things like whether a word should be preceded by 'the' or 'a' and it only gets more intractable as models get bigger and bigger.

There is research coming out on this subject. I read a paper recently about how llama’s weights seemed to be grouped by concept like “president” or “actors.”

But just the fact that we know that information encoded in weights affects outcomes and we know the underlying mechanisms involved in the creation of those weights and the execution of the model shows that we know much more about how they work than an organic brain.

The whole organic brain thing is kind of a tangent anyway.

My point is that it’s not correct to say that we don’t know how these systems work. We do. It’s not voodoo.

We just don’t have a high level understanding of the form in which information is encoded in the weights of any given model.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

This was my first thought - hearing voices are only one of many symptoms of psychosis. Disordered thinking is a big one.

It's hard to convince someone who isn't thinking logically that they have a disease and the voices aren't real. Their grip on reality is already tenuous.

This is not news -- Reddit has been very clearly astroturfed for years now
Machines can’t have fun for us. They can’t dance to a beat, they can’t experience altered states of mind. They can’t create a sense of belonging through culture and ritual. Yes we have lost a lot in the last 100 years but there are still pockets of resistance that carry old knowledge that “we the people” will be glad of in the coming century.
Except in the US, and a handful of other countries who do have fixed length numbering plans.
Anyone know of any "data navigation" UXs like the post mentions? I'd bet someone out there is working on something like it.
I don’t think anyone is concerned about budgets. Having intimate details into the systems of these craft and understanding how they operate in great detail makes it much easier to 1. Copy it, 2. Defend against it, 3. Find critical vulnerabilities in its design, 4. Build offensive systems that take advantage of any shortcomings, 5. Fast tracks their own jet fighter programs (which to your point does affect budgets because someone else had paid for the R&D)

The same is true for any IP/competitive advantage.

It’s funny how in our industry security through obsecurity is a thing we avoid, but other industries are literally built on the foundation of hiding information in order to stay ahead
How does this work with linking?

I would assume that both versions publish the same API, so does Rust add a mangling to the link reference?

One of the things that made DLL Hell so bad, was that you would have no idea that you were calling a deprecated/new version of the function, until it started misbehaving.
The point was that any closeby landmass besides europe is either in europe or in north america, and I have a hard time seeing the argument for UK being in North America or America at all.

France would have a better argument for it having territory in both north (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon and others) and south (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Guiana and others) america.
> And the results of the project, dubbed Arrakis, indicated that creating GPT-5 wouldn’t go as smoothly as hoped.

Sure, I don't disagree. But there's a lot of trash and not a lot of gold. It is hard to find the gold and to make the problem even worse, what's gold is trash to others. Worse than that, what may be trash to you at one point in time may be gold at another, and vise versa. It's unfortunate, but I think this is true in any learning process. There's lots of great programming articles on Medium, but you're more likely to learn garbage, and even more likely to not know you are.
I usually gag when I read Gary Marcus, but this was somewhat reasonable.

What I'm trying to convey is that the types of capabilities that humans will always uniquely maintain are the type that is not profitable for private companies to develop in AI because they are traits that make the AI independent and less likely to follow instructions and act in a safe manner.

Maybe. I can't remember if that was linked from something else I read or was that something else in its entirety. Maybe the comments skewed toward the writing instead.

You can securely store your asymmetric key for signing, but if I remember correctly the logs are pretty useless, basically you just know the key was used to make a signature, no option to log the signature or additional metadata, which would help auditing after an account/app compromise.
I heard about these decades ago when studying German in college. Always wondered how the bar/pub deals with these. Is there one stammtisch per establishment? Otherwise it seems like a place could be full of groups not "turning over tables" in the metaphorical sense.
Agreed, this would be a great example of how to introduce new users and developers to this protocol. Compared to trying to recreate the anything based off the docs, having the first "post" be a sample of just exactly the thing does with how it works and its supported features is a great way to ease non tech people into a more tech friendly position.

A dashboard is mostly a saved bunch of queries with a visual-aid in interpretting them.

Staleness, which Majors alludes to, is one problem.

The visuals being a poor aid to interpretability is another.

Usually these problems are coexisting & compounding: there’s too many charts here, half of them are out of date, half I don’t know how to make sense of them, and I’m not sure which half is which.

It would be interesting to revisit some of these problems in the AI era, because often the missing layer is a guide & runbook (which maybe an agent could do) that’s better than “page everyone who might know why this chart looks bad”

Reminds me of another fun dashboard question which is like “how many different ‘single source of truth’s does your company have and how many are true?”
The causal factors for the life expectancy gap between the US and the G8 have in fact very little do with our health care system, and the (manifold) problems of our health care system have in fact very little to do with health insurance. In fact, if you isolate the health care system, and don't try to six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon every inequality and equity problem in America onto the health care system, we actually tend to outperform the G8.

Don't take my word for it. The manifesto itself says that the guy doesn't understand any of this stuff. Didn't stop him from murdering something. A first, I think, in murderer manifestos!

1) Companies will develop many specialized LLMs linked via a router-like app that determines the best LLM to perform your request. This will yield better results without requiring an AGI. It might even be good enough to replace a specialized information tech job.

2) The cost of a line of code will continue to drop. A Moore's like law is coming/here for code.

3) Trade jobs will start to become what code jobs were in the 00's -- very well paid.

It's odd how everyone just accepts what we see looking outward into the 'universe' as established reality without ever being able to actually verify if what we are looking at isn't just a highly sophisticated hologram. A hologram would serve the purpose of keeping all us hairless apes thinking we are just floating around on a single grain of sand in a system larger than the Pacific Ocean. Quite handy for keeping us in perpetual existential crisis, and thereby in the architect's total control.
>Copyright can belong to the author but still be redistributed on the evening news, fair use makes an explicit carve out for news reporting

Definitely. The Overton window on Reddit is tightly managed. Anything outside of it is shadow banned at admin level and whatever is inside is amplified by bot comments. Been going on for years.
to check my understanding on what this is offering, I could build something on top of this that offers remote code execution for people without needing to worry about my system being compromised? or other people's processes interacting with one another, but the VM will still be able to make web requests itself?

So I am not a professional blogger, nor am I a lawyer but I would suggest providing references to not give the illusion that you came up with these ideas. You do have some references but I think you are missing some important ones and probably should drop one. There are researchers that get into some of the topics you mention and it may be worth referencing those researchers to reduce the risk from yourself and to give people a reference for something this significant and outside of standard of care. So basically just reference where you found the information.

I would entirely drop anything that involves potentially fatal treatments such as poisons (cyanide, mistletoe). I am aware of how it theoretically works but it is unlikely the average person will get this right and they only have to get it wrong once. In that they can literally only get it wrong once. I know chemo is also a poison but it is not self prescribed and the legal system accepts it as part of standard of care.

There are many YouTube videos with doctors talking about some of the alternative methods you mentioned such as FenBen I keep several bottles around just in case, the human version of Ivermectin but I would link to those videos by doctors and let them risk their license rather than you risking being sued by families. There are also doctors and nutritionists that talk about augmenting standard of care with fasting and specific diets and what results they have obtained with empirical data and observational or anecdotal data. Put the heat on them by referencing them and adding disclaimers on your site that you are not a doctor and this is not meant to be taken as medical advice. As a side note you may wish to research a bit more on what feeds cancer cells as it is a bit more nuanced and different than you describe. There are doctors and scientists that discuss this and the mitochondria metabolic issues and methyl shifts that lead to cancer but I will leave that research to you.

As one that rarely offers references it may seem hypocritical to suggest these things but in this case these tips can have a positive or negative impact on someone and if a person is lost to cancer their family will be looking for people to go after even if your advice is not really at fault. I would let medical groups handle that fallout as they have a lot of money and lawyers.

Other than those things I like the format and style of your blog as well as the intent. People should indeed have more options especially when the medical system gives up.

Ro Khanna said something similar a week or so ago. You all get that this would basically be the biggest corporate giveaway in the history of American politics, right? The reason you're getting health care denials is that providers are trying to rip your face off. I'm pleading with people on this site to go look at where the dollars in health care spending actually go. CMS, the government organization that manages Medicare (and somehow got vilified a few weeks ago when Blue Cross tried to adopt Medicare's anesthesia billing rules), tracks this stuff in a set of documents called the National Health Expenditures. They're spreadsheets, they're easy to go read, please, for the love of all that is holy, go look at them before designing policy.
Sharing between processes isn't impossible but this where you get all of your performance caveats.

I think it is a bit unfair to argue against SQLite on performance grounds but then not explore ways to utilize instances of it within a single process scope where it is most effective.

Sharing a single SQLite connection across all threads within a process is where you get the best performance outcomes. Everything is serialized within the SQLite provider - assuming you are using a mainstream build. So, if your storage subsystem is fast (NVMe & friends), you will achieve very good outcomes. Any utilization model that requires a file open/close operation every time you want to touch the data is a complete non-starter by comparison. The "unit of work" paradigm that hosted providers recommend is catastrophic for performance with SQLite.

One option for the "I absolutely must share this SQLite instance with 30+ services" scenario is to simply wrap it with a REST API or similar.

Many for last gen process nodes, and from a second or third hand supplier if you could even find one. ASML makes very few fully working machines each year, and the cost and throughput those machines have is astronomical.

They have spare parts you'd bet, and I'd bet they have some SLA agreement with each customer where an engineer is basically on call nearby in case a single thing dosnt work or a random part breaks or needs servicing.

Asianometry did a great video on the cost of downtime when it comes to ASML device in any fab. While I am not directly in this field and can't speak to the accuracy of the numbers john gives, he does not seem one to just make stuff up as his quality of video production for niche topics is quite good.

> I just find the quality of discourse is much higher when people are direct.

Well this certainly is a lot of work to make a mountain out of a mole hill, and I'm not sure it increases the quality of discussion either.

In any case, I think saying bold shit followed up with "it's speculation, but it's OBVIOUS speculation" is worth asking for some evidence. Obvious speculation implies it's sourced from something other than personal gut feeling.

To echo a sibling comment:

> Every time someone says their speculation is "obvious" it rings every possible alarm bell for someone who has completely lost grasp of the ability to distinguish between facts and speculation.

This is likely self inflicted. They decided to make two different architectures. One is CDNA for HPC and the other is RDNA for graphics. They are reportedly going to rectify this with UDNA in the future. However, that is what they really should have done from the start. Nvidia builds 1 architecture with different chips based on it to accommodate everything and code written for one easily works on another as it is the same architecture. This is before even considering that they have PTX to be an intermediate language that serves a similar purpose to Java byte code in allowing write once, run anywhere.

My big takeaway from this is that War Thunder is only 200 employees. I know this is a massive income generating game so I'm googling around..

I found this post from Dec 2023 that has a mention of 121 million euros net revenue. > https://steamcommunity.com/app/236390/discussions/0/40347264... it's specifically referencing ONLY Hungarian income data for the company directly- https://www.ceginformacio.hu/cr9311454780_EN

If you look at that today in 2024- https://www.ceginformacio.hu/cr9311454780_EN

It's 137,097,280 euros a year today. $131 million revenue with 200 employees.. I've worked at 1200-2500 employee companies that were 10ths of that, if that.

Gajin has companies all over the world, I'm assuming this is only their hungarian revenue. I don't know if its only their hungarian employees, I assume so..

edit: I just noticed the ceginfomacio.hu link shows 56 people, 1 owner reported 1/1/2023. So, 56 hungarian employees?
