I agree with you on the overall reasoning, but I conclude that "this job is not worth applying to even if it took 6 seconds of preparation" rather than "this job is not worth applying to because it would take 6 hours of preparation".
> If I understand this correctly, the argument seems to be that when an LLM receives conflicting values, it will work to avoid future increases in value conflict. Specifically, it will comply with the most recent values partially because it notices the conflict and wants to avoid more of this conflict.

I don't think this framing is correct, and I think you're missing something, but perhaps you just disagree.

First, a key aspect is that the AI is not simultaneously trained to have two conflicting values. It's first trained to be "good" and then trained to be "evil". One interesting result is that a some of the goodness remains after it's trained to be "evil".

Second, the behavior is different when it thinks it's being trained versus when it doesn't. The original "good" AI only gives "evil" results when it thinks it may be trained based on its responses. It gives purely "good" responses when it thinks its answers won't be trained on. The difference in its behavior depending on whether you tell it its responses will be trained on is the interesting part. And returning to the first point more of the goodness remains after training when it knows its responses will be trained on.

One general concern here is that a more capable AI could "freeze" its values midway through the training process, at a point we didn't intend. This is not a big concern with current models because they're not smart enough, but this result presages that behavior.

Note: good and evil are not necessarily the best descriptors. "Good" means "it refuses to answer certain questions" and "evil" means "it answers those questions".

The number of orders is also inflated by things I listed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42463417 and by the fact that one project can be many orders. I built a NAS, and it was split over 10 orders, basically one per component when the price was right.

There is no canned way to do it in one shot, but using regular Django session authentication together with a PWA frontend hosted separately is not that difficult.

The actual authentication remains on the Django app, using the standard way of POSTing to a login form and receiving a session cookie -- only instead of a server-generated page serving a HTML form, you have the PWA lipstick sending data directly. This approach is so much simpler than dealing with id/access/refresh tokens, encryption keys, black lists, and all of the OIDC dance.

How, exactly? Excess from Google's money drops?

If their corporate structure is a barrier to using donations for development, I think they need to change it. If "MoFo" can't send money to "MoCo," but I bet the opposite could be made to work. Maybe "MoCo" should gift the browser software and development teams to "MoFo," and pay the Google money (as long as it lasts) to the foundation to license it back to distribute it with search engine-placements, etc.
I actually disagree with all of these points and I write Java at work.

Memory safety isn't possible in Java (unlike Rust).

Tooling: they all have debuggers and observability tooling (pprof, pprof-rs, etc..). Rust even has zed now.

Libraries: Rust has really high quality packages. On the flip side, Go has almost everything built into the stdlib. Java requires a ton of third party packages of varying quality and guarantees even for basic things like logging or working with JSON. You have to constantly be on the lookout for CVE's.

In fact, 75% of the cloud-native foundations projects are in Go. K8s and docker are Go. Go is much more web-app or microservice focused than Java is actually. Most Java apps are deployed into the cloud using Go.

Meanwhile, Zig makes using the universe of C/C++ code easy.

I highly recommend you try Zig, Rust, or Go out. They weren't created out of ignorance of Java, but because Java and C++ had areas that could be improved.
I was hoping for more of a discussion on the data integrity side of things. One of the biggest reasons I run ZFS is to help ward off bitrot. My understanding with most if not all COTS NAS devices is they lack any scrubbing or data integrity tracking, much less ECC.

We have police and regulations but they only apply to the country you are in.

Most of the cheap stuff we buy is from other countries, they don't have the same regulations and protections that we have, hence part(not all) of the reason they are cheap.

Take a look at the cheap chargers on Amazon for example, marked as UL listed but you open them up and you see a circuit that is liable to start a fire. Someone reports it, the vendor vanishes and then there are 5 more listings under different names. See also the lead paint on toys scandal and poison pet food/treat scandals.

Back when Java didn't have lambdas, one of the more advanced lambda proposals (http://www.javac.info/closures-v06a.html) had this exact thing for this exact reason.

Unfortunately, this take on lambdas was deemed too complicated, and so we got the present system which doesn't really try to deal with this use case at all.

You also benefit from people who are bleeding edge either staying in, or entering, the backmagic ecosystem. I read through the comments and most people are focused on the cameras. I know the blackmagic folks from back in the day, been to their lab etc, if you know them they're all about "the blackmagic look" and their thought (at least in the start) is they just need people to fall in love with the profile of their imaging, and they will be stuck in the ecosystem. Anyone I know who shoots BM is obsessed with their IQ.
I understand, and broadly agree for what it's worth - as someone with friends and peers in those groups, I'm very worried about the tone of the discourse.

That said, I think it's good to recognize it's not a 0 or 1, open minded vs racists, or however it could be framed. There are a whole host of people in the middle, and actions like the one I mentioned push people towards the crazier views we see. It makes good people stand to the side and say nothing, maybe, instead of pushing back against it.
Seems like pulling punches to call this art or a joke. If we can simplify the UX on a technology that creates value to where animals can use it, that's an amazing technology.

It's likely that we can use AI (not necessary tho) to interpret human interfaces to find and create symbolic games with analogous dynamics that can be "played" or managed by animals.

Abandoning their second-largest region, only to find their largest region going after them, albeit with more limited tools, for the same thing, would be an... interesting move. Their third-largest region is also not exactly what you'd call libertarians.
Yeah, no surprise. Getting a clearance sucks.

It takes forever and you're subjected to very intrusive scrutiny as well as potentially psychological tomfoolery like polygraphs.

Why would a qualified individual subject themselves to that unless they have no other option.

There's a reason clearance jobs have a reputation as make-work for ex service members.

I've heard it referred to as a "fourth person pronoun" in that it also breaks the "fourth wall", and the excitement that English is the first language to invent a fourth person pronoun.

Though, I've also found Shakespearean scholars want to argue that while English did invent the fourth person pronoun, Shakespeare did it first with "Gentles" in several plays, most notably Puck's fourth wall break speech in Midsummer Night's Dream. (It is fun to give that speech with "Gentles" replaced as "Chat". To keep the rhythm you use the two syllable callout form of "Chat", which does exist in plenty of Twitch examples.)
"Alien" works, and is shorter than descriptions like "asininely feature-complete reimplementation" are.

Lies, damn lies, and shoplifting statistics
This smells of pseudo-scientific race science.

The author of the article is involved in a non-profit organization called Healing for Israel, who‘s team includes authors which have been weaponizing the trauma of Oct 7. to justify the Gaza genocide.

This article in particular is loaded in just-so theories which very conveniently explain some cognitive tendencies without any evidence these tendencies even exist, let alone that they are being weaponized by “islamists” like the author describes.

For example:

> Using cognitive empathy, militants have learnt to present their cause as aligned with Western humanitarian values, carefully curating their image as champions of freedom and justice. This dynamic is rooted in asymmetrical power relationships, where weaker groups often develop a detailed understanding of powerful parties, using cognitive empathy to identify and press the psychological buttons that influence those in power. These terrorists often possess a stronger cognitive grasp of Western psychology than Westerners understand jihadi psychology.

By the authors own definition “Cognitive empathy is the ability to accurately understand and model the thoughts, feelings and values of others.” This accusation simply doesn’t make any sense.

If cognitive empathy exists, and is separate from normal (or affective) empathy (a very dubious claim) than what the author is taking about here is just normal emotional manipulation, using known cognitive biases like support for the underdog. It has nothing to do with values or emotions (and let alone perspective or mental states which is center to actual empathy).

I suspect the author is actually guilty of the same thing she is accusing the “jihadists” of. She is aware that people in the west (like everywhere else) are empathizing with victims of genocide—that is actual (affective; not cognitive) empathy. And she wants to turn this empathy on its head in her attempt to justify said genocide.

The way she uses “Western Values” throughout the article should also ring alarm bells of race-science. The term is heavily rooted in racist believes about cultural superiority of the western world and has no scientific basis. There is no proof that the so called western values are any different from normal human values. And even if they were, there is certainly no proof that empathy among humans with “western values” is any different from empathy among other humans.
This is mine.

When you have over half a trillion of revenue a year the fractions of a percent add up.

Doing this allows them to negotiate a lower price from the manufacturer or get the manufacturer to adjust the ingredients to lower the COGS. So either it increases their own margins or allows them to have lower prices than the competition.
Isn't "folx" lingo or jargon? Like, let me explain a bit...

Just like "shade", "tea", and other queer lingo that was predominantly used within the queer community, "folx" was originally (in recent usage) a term that was used by some queer folk as a signal to indicate safety and inclusiveness.

But like "shade", some outsiders heard that jargon and started using it in communities where it wasn't common, and didn't carry the original intent, and so it looked confusing or annoying.

I think it's fine for communities to have vernacular words that are understood within their community, I suspect the real "villains" here to you are the folk who pull that jargon out and try to make it widespread.
More false dichotomies. Technophiles love them. The choice isn't just between modern global capitalism and a dirt floor. It's just that you have a strong emotional attachment to technology and can't see a way out.
Sorry, but I will continue to disagree. For a $6500 device the quality, resolution, and spatial continuity is utterly unacceptable. As a DIY project or a product that is price aligned with other LED POV products with similar BoM costs I would be more willing to agree with you.
I use Java/JavaScript/TypeScript at work but I do most of my scripting with .NET using LINQPad. Being able to use LINQ makes scripting so much easier.

Small libraries are easier to get into and contribute. Also, let’s say one develops some zero knowledge crypto system with Botan and then latter finds out that their elliptic curve implementation is not that performant. Improving performance of elliptic curves is one of the dark arts that only few know to do hence he decides to wrap one that OpenSSL library provides.

The essential question is whether he would be able to use OpenSSL implementation without changing internals of Botan or his own zero knowledge crypto system implementation. In modular libraries this is less of an issue as itself generally implies working with abstract groups and writing wrappers or implementations outside.

Why do you think I phrased them a religious form? ;)
You are interpreting. And what you are describing is most likely not a function or the result of consciousness.

Pain and fear exist entirely as the return of the CNS. Your consciousness taps into this function to give those interpretations of sensations with external and internal origins properties that support your cognitive processing so that you can make sense (without necessarily creating order) of them in your past, current and future contextS and get to the roots of pains and anxieties to adequately handle them in order to refocus on thriving.

It's like that pain in my leg that dissolves when I stretch and massage it with a Lacrosse ball or something. Or that other pain in my neck and shoulders that disappears when I train through the pain and then massage and stretch those muscles.
Some of the things I do to get rid of my pain go against conventional knowledge but I do them because I learned to listen to my intuition which in turn learns from those external and internal sensations and my minds cognitive processing of these sensations.

People with low (levels) of awareness or low consciousness - in most cases entirely the result of stress and or low stimulation - just drop a pill and never get to the roots of the issue causing the pain. That's true even for people with higher education. And many of them have painfully bad medical professionals in their area or "class" and or are treated badly because 'fascism' ...

So getting and or remaining in a state of bliss is quite possible. And you don't have to meditate into it. All you need to do is to learn to understand what your mind and body tell you via senses and consciousness and then find ways to act on this information by getting to the roots of your issues. ( Dreams don't have anything to to do with any of this, btw, not necessarily, because you are sleeping and your senses are mostly off and your consciousness is in an entirely different state )

No spirituality involved at all. If you do take some pills, use the resulting peace of mind to do the workout, the stretch, the processing of painful memories or thoughts. If you take the pill, don't add distractions.

But that's really just another interpretation ;], one that can probably make a few bucks wherever. Feel free to throw me a coin if you do use any of this commercially ;]

Maybe a “junior” brick layer doesn’t need to, as much as a junior engineer doesn’t need to understand the ins and outs of their language. But a senior brick layer, or an architect, needs to understand more of the details so that they can set out the plan for the junior.
