There is a current lack of "O1 style" reasoning dataset in open source space. QWQ did not release their dataset. So that would take some time for the community to prepare.

Yeah. I've seen a few websites these days disable selection of text. So I use the source inspector to copy the text for quoting.
Also not a lawyer, but discussed this with multiple lawyers. As long as you make very clear that you're summarizing the legal document, but the legal document you're providing is the canonical truth, you're allowed to provide those kind of summaries.

For example, Creative Commons has a visual/bullet point explanation of their licenses. That's entirely okay, as the legal text is the core license.

I had a similar discussion with a lawyer once about a TOS that also included a summary. The lawyer told me that as long as you make it clear that your summary is just a summary, and is not the agreement, and you point out the actual agreement, you're okay.

In this case, the OP is pointing to the legal text clearly and merely summarizing it's most salient points.

Again, IANAL and this is not legal advice.
It's those smaller providers I was hinting at. But that's true, some of them do not like us creating multiple accounts (like Protonmail), but others don't mind.

I think using a reliable smaller provider of the latter variaty and donating money to them would make a nice synergy.
Curiosity: is anyone here developing inside a VM, with GPU passthrough, and with the monitor directly connected to the GPU used by the VM? (as in: showing the UI of the VM, without any need for RDP or the like)

Such a setup works (I'd know for I have one at home doing just that but it's not my main PC) but how's it like to work like that?

The GPU hooked to the hypervisor can either be on another monitor or on another input (in the latter case you'd "go" to the hypervisor by changing the monitor's input).

This is why I think the web would be better without large platforms, only personal websites. No chance of huge crowds causing echo chambers.
With debian, is you develop on stable, you only need to do the upgrade song and dance every year and a half or so and upgrades rarely break anything. If you develop on unstable, you can use the snapshot archive to either upgrade 6 months at a time or move back to the next stable and then walk through stable releases.
> Why do they even need this data?

The stated reasoning is that the want to track battery performance to optimize it, thus they need to see in what environment (weather and terrain) the vehicle is used to make sense of the data.

The second reason is that they offer "fleet management" for company cars, so that a dispatcher for some company can see which car is where and which to send to a customer.

Of course location data is valuable in many other ways as well ...

The Vacation Planning Problem (2023)
What happened to netflix? their quality (streaming) is so poor. Out of all the video streaming sources I use (including random shady sites, youtube,vimeo, amazon prime,etc...) theirs has the worst experience. Despite paying for the costliest plan, if their webapp detects any dropped frames or performance issues, it keeps downgrading the video quality until I can't even make out what I'm looking at. Why not buffer or do whatever amazon is doing? I have to actually turn off hardware graphics acceleration in Chrome to stream at all. They used to be the leader in this space, I can't imagine any excuse at all, because their direct competitors are doing much better than them in terms of pure engineering quality. I assure you, I lack nothing in terms of hardware specs or internet speed either, I'm also a US customer.

Sorry for dropping in my personal rant, but it sort of triggered me after looking at the quality of this post. I'm thinking, perhaps they have a culture problem where the focus is "efficiency" as the title implies instead of quality.

Diatomaceous earth is very messy and slow.

A quick search tells me hotels usually do heat treatment. It requires a professional (or in house set up). I suspect they also wrap the mattresses by default, but I'm not sure that's strictly a bed bug measure.

Bed bugs are everywhere though. They will infest any public space with furniture, or any space like hotels where anybody can come in and out. They have infested my local movie theaters (at least the older ones). I bet there are a lot of airlines with this issue.
Author here. Nope, that is not my concern about humans in the loop. My concern on that is that any human in the loop has to reconstruct by themselves from the inputs whether the output makes sense, the system provides no significant help. "Explaining my reasoning" LLMs are potentially a step forward in that.
You are right that I'm not talking about AGI here, rather about safe systems.
Ask HN: Where to Work After 40?
I turned 40 last month and spent the past decade working on my own startup that ultimately failed. I'm now trying to figure out the next step. Someone once said to me, Google is the place you go to retire after 40. I've done my time at various startups, and spent some time at Google. As an engineer the landscape of things is always changing and we've now moved from Cloud to AI pretty rapidly. I'm just curious to know what moves people made after 40 and what worked for them.
Because you're expected to get to the next level in good time, otherwise you're not good enough and will be fired. The level you can stay at is typically the level below Staff.
I do not speak latin, although I studied it for two years in high school and I'm a native speaker of a romance language, so my understanding of latin is pretty much basic to guesswork.

This is a really cool tool -- I often read latin texts with the original on one page and the translation on the other, just because I think it's interesting to see how they wrote/spoke at the time, but for the most part certain words or declinations throw me off guard. Inline literal translations really help there.

That being said, I noticed whilst reading some of the texts that the inline literal translations are still in latin, e.g. in "Part IV. I Some Barbarous Customs", most of the translated text is just latin. I guess OpenAI won't take all our jobs just yet!

I do have one suggestion for improvement though. Many of these texts have translations that are already in the public domain (older translations). It would be helpful to display the original Latin and a fluent English translation side by side, whilst still being able to toggle the literal translation on or off. This setup would make it easier to compare the original text with a fluent English translation, similar to the format used in some bilingual books.
One of the interesting "new direction" for RWKV and Mamba (or any recurrent model), is the monitoring and manipulation of the state in between token. For steerability, alignment, etc =)

Scaling from a Billion to a Million to One
Your first line of defence should be a secure API where an attacker doesn't gain anything by knowing it.

You can add obfuscation, but ultimately if the client is shipped to the user you must assume an attacker can reverse engineer it.
Build your API assuming anything public facing will be known. This includes anything downloaded to a device.
There isn't one, which was my point. By your originally stated principle, you are screwed, but now you seem to be just pretending you never stated that principle. I can quote it again if you like:

> As a matter of principle, I'd never use a browser which is funded by an advertisement company which lives off my data to show me ads and rob me of my privacy and cognitive capacity.

That is what YOU said. All you've been doing is against your own quote. I think the quote is stupid, for the reasons you pointed out. I'm just trying to show you that you're the one who said it, but you seem to be totally unwilling to admit that you did, even though it is clearly publicly there
And a metre stick with millimetre or centimetre divisions works well for the different side lengths.

Like a billion is a cube of length 1 metre, made of cubes 1mm wide.

You can also roughly scale down by factors of 3 (square root of 10, roughly) by considering a 30cm ruler in place of the metre stick.
you don't need any adapter. all my USB-C drives come with a cable that has C on one end and A on the other. again, those cables are allowed. only adapters that would allow you to use a C-C cable may not be. so connecting a USB-C drive to an old laptop that only has USB-A plugs is fine, and is supported.

Author here. So what! I am not talking about promising directions for AGI, I am talking about having computer systems that we can have confidence in. Sure, AGI if it ever happens will look more like emergence than compositionality, and I'm sure it won't feel a need to explain to us fallible humans why its decisions are correct. In the meantime, I'd like computer systems to be manageable, reliable, transparent, and accountable.

Why is it the web seems to be the one outlier environment that we care about echo chambers? Almost everywhere else seems to have some definition of relevance and propriety, also, it seems like your argument is not that diversity of thought is good, but that large echo chambers themselves are bad? I.e. you’re saying you’d rather not have a big diverse website because it risks a big echo chamber?
1000 in a line is okay (millimetres on a metre stick, or pixels on a screen) but 10,000 is too much.
> Don't you get the same problem with upgrades with Debian?

I don't think you have to do some manual configuration to upgrade your distribution because it is a couple years old and current scripts don't support that (like going from a 22.10 to 24.04 is a fun game).
I work for an organisation that is at this scale on AWS. Of course, we use Terraform, but the cost explorer and tags and so on are still usable (and useful).
> In the age of LLMs there is no point in writing long prose. The more content is generated ...

Wow, do you really equate long prose with "generated content"? Long prose is novels, deep non-fiction books, long letters, and much more. You can like them or not. In comparison "generated content" is sugar-coated garbage, like way too many social media posts. There was never any point in reading such "generated content".

The inner workings/representations of transformers/LLMs aren't a total black box - there's a lot of work being done (and published) on "mechanistic interpretability", especially by Anthropic.

The intelligence we see in LLMs is to be expected - we're looking in the mirror. They are trained to copy humans, so it's just our own thought patterns and reasoning being output. The LLM is just a "selective mirror" deciding what to output for any given input.
It's unfortunate that we even have to have this discussion, but it doesn't read that way to me. The text is not quite...homogenous enough to have come from an LLM IMO.
Not sure what you’re basing that on? Faulkner (for example) died in 1962, so we’re still eight years away from his work arriving in the public domain in EU states and most other countries globally.

Only as long as you cannot load your own certificates, which you are able to in a lot of cases. Though on Android you can lock certificates allowed in a app, this can be circumvented though it adds another step. I am unsure if the same is a case for Apples devices, at least you might need jailbreak there.
I think diversity of thought can just as easily be created with smaller, individual websites. For example, one person can say something and then I can quote them on my website. Only the process is slower and invites less knee-jerk reacting and commenting that seems to live on our dopamine reactions. A natural speed limit created by a lack of quick-reply mechanisms would probably make everyone more thoughtful, and a friction point to responding wouldn't create crowding effects like mass upvoting/downvoting.

The internet is different I think because of it doesn't have the physical limiations of scale. In real life, a small group can get together, yes it can be a sort of "echo chamber", but they are limited by the size of their group which is usually small.

I wish Microsoft paid more attention to T-SQL though. It’s an atrociously primitive language in some ways. There is no “record” or “struct” type of any kind, table-valued functions are not composable, an error in one line may throw an exception or just continue execution to the next line depending on whether TRY..CATCH exists at some higher level… to name just a few grievances of many I accumulated over the years.

It can work well performance-wise and security-wise, but programming it can be quite a pain, and I feel that’s unnecessarily so, considering what resources Microsoft has at their disposal.

Piracy is just a convenient excuse.

DRM is really about control. It's a technical trick that thanks to DMCA anti-reverse engineering clauses becomes a legal trick to dictate exactly who and how can play the content, much tighter than what copyright and consumer laws allow by default.

For example, without DRM you couldn't effectively sell separate licenses for computer screens and TVs, because users could just connect their computer to a TV.

DRM allows negotiating everything about distribution, up to who pays who for having a button on the TV remote.

Those who control the DRM have a veto power over everything, and have it viciously enforced internationally thanks to it being tied to copyright.
It also hints at realtime communications and extensive logs between the car and teslas servers.
