“Misuse resistant” is contextually sensitive: I would argue that a self-expiring identity token and a self-expiring signing key are significantly more misuse-resistant than “traditional” code signing (where you issue a key once, let the revocation process ossify, and never rotate due to insufficient client adoption).

Is it perfect? No, and your point about “true” provenance is a good one: perfect fidelity in provenance would require hardware attestations and a “whole-machine” picture, which is not something that widely adopted CI/CD setups can easily produce at the moment.

> Minimally this provenance stuff should be built on top of some proof of possession mechanism where a challenge is generated and the builder signs the challenge with its machine identity key.

That’s how Fulcio works: your public identity is bound as a result of a proof of possession for an ephemeral key and an identity token.
Well, these libraries are doing something inherently complicated on top of just using browser cache headers.

You're only talking about http endpoint caching. These solutions are providing application data caching. These are not mutually exclusive concepts.

The latter offers things like data sharing/normalization across endpoints, data persistence across browser sessions, fine-grained cache invalidation/manipulation, and a lot of things on top of that.

It's a lot harder to manage a cache, and for most apps I never found it worthwhile. But there may be cases where you do want that level of control, like PWAs or an app optimized to never hit the network unnecessarily.

But it's definitely not replaceable with browser http header caching.
I had this problem initially but found that if you use these then hallucinations mostly go away.

1. Role based "agents" with a router and logs (for auditing reasoning and decision making).

2. Cross validation and redundancy with the translation "agent" using a 2nd language (that is not English) that you are also native in to check if the translation carries the same "meaning" (sentiment) and cultural significance (Turkish is especially rich in symbolism and cultural memes).

YMMV: I am a car salesman irl and have no formal training.
>Yep, time to dust off PrimeFaces.

You joke, but PrimeReact and PrimeVue are some of the best libs out there today, due largely to that heritage. Great company.
I don't think we'll ever have a zero-crime society, neither should we aim to be one. But being left to the vagaries of police (and union) politics, culture and the complications of city budgets is clearly broken.

Example: Cities are being presented a false choice between accepting deadly high speed chases vs zero criminal accountability [1], which in the world of drones seems silly [2]

I don't want the police to have unfettered access to surveil any and all citizens but putting camera access behind a court warrant issued by a civilian elected judge doesn't feel that dystopian to me.

Is that what Ellison was alluding to? I have no idea, but we are no longer in a world where we should disregard this prima facie.

Top Mistakes Made by IT Architects
> Oracle has 2-3% market share as a Cloud Provider.

And the market leader is what, 30%? about 1 order of magnitude. That's not such a huge difference, and I suspect that Oracle's size is disproportionate in the enterprise space (which is where a lot of AI services are targeted) whereas AWS has a _ton_ of non-enterprise things hosted.

In any case, 2-3% is big enough where this kind of investment is 1) financially possible, 2) desirable to grow to be #2 or #3
Absolutely valid point, but I think that from a Christian POV, the question comes down to an entity having a soul, or you know, the something that makes humans somehow distinct to animals. This, let's call it a soul, is I think needed so that God has something to grip in order to deliver the divine inspiration. Following up, the LLM then needs to have this "soul", so that it can be inspired, so that it can deliver proper divine revelations. The question really is, where does this soul begin, and end, and what does it need to form an attachment to something. Can a human be born without one, can something, that is not a human, have one at any point? And again, as you say, how to test for this? It would really be a shame to be fooled by an entity, saying that it delivers holy texts, just to find out later that it was the Antichrist or something, and just a test of faith.
>These huge cost increases for healthcare, education, and housing are not compatible with the American Dream.

Yep, it's dead. Someone please make it official already. Don't worry about the autopsy or time/date of death - just get the death certificate already and let's move on.

Whether they want to replace it with something equivalent is frankly up to the rich people, college institutions, and home owners/sellers. Just guessing based on the trend, but that will also be a No.

Right now, it's really called "The American Survival Games". This isn't just fear mongering, you have to change your mindset. The American Dream meant you were assured some level of survival in exchange for work. Now that is not the case and you constantly have to reassess what your work trajectory is going to get you and if it will be enough to survive the next day, but also survive the volatility of a very polarized nation changing its policies on a whim. You also need a backup plan for your job in case you just get laid off due to no fault of your own. And a backup plan for the backup plan because the hiring landscape might change.

They were not fabricated although it may have been challenging to secure a conviction and in any event Ross was going to be sentenced to many decades in prison.
Salt is owned by VMware; I would think twice before using it given their situation.
> For example, if I'm feeling stressed/anxious, I'll scroll/browse/distract myself to avoid the negative feelings. I'm not seeking them like doom scrolling says.

In history, what was the equivalent to this? I think a lot of the negative connotation is related to "it's new and therefore it's probably bad compared to whatever humans used to do".
No. The cost of running these is so small as not to be worth top officials' time in worrying about them. If they are looking to save lots of money, there are far more efficient ways to do that. This is just clearing house, establishing a tone, and making it clear that expert opinion is not valued.

Yes, it's a plain-text editor too. The files are compatible with the Commodore 64 if you need.

It implies a lot more stuff than all the other pre-installed plain-text editors on every other OS.
Doesn't "dismissed with prejudice" usually mean something like "the evidence presented for the charge is so lacking that the charge should never have been brought in the first place"?
This is so stupid. By this standard, automobile manufacturers kill 44,000 people in the US every year, including countless children. 3,500-4,500 people in the US are murdered by swimming pool contractors every year.
Saying "this is my ideology" is not really all that believable if you stand to make millions with that ideology. I don't know what's in his hearth of hearths and to be honest I don't really care. All I'm saying it's just not comparable at all.
That judge is just wrong. Ulbricht was not selling drugs. Conflating running a market place vs drug dealers on the street is just wrong. Craigslist has tons of illegal stuff. Even FB and Twitter do.
Believe it or not, we already do, it is just not obvious and so far, I've only exchanged info with very few that realize this, and how to access that capability.
This is just short-term vs long-term gratification and competing desires. That's not intrinsic, except insofar as newly formed habits are compulsive.

Choice and opportunity-cost is all "self-limiting", the only difference is perspective. It's better to have an additive-mindset, i.e. replace a habit with another that provides value rather than merely focusing on restricting something. This works for everything, including diet. In the words of Allan Carr, if you view your actions as sacrifice, you won't succeed.
I believe it implies that it will inevitably result in your doom, because you won't be able to achieve much in life.
To me it looks like a strategic investment in data center capacity, which should drive domestic hardware production, improvements in electrical grid, etc. Putting it all under AI label just makes it look more exciting.
An LLM frontend for this would be amazing.

I didn’t buy that argument at all either.

Minds shuffle information. Including about themselves.

I think the author of this article just has trouble with reading comprehension or they interpreted this in a childish way to make a click-bait article. It's really not that complicated.
Except the government blocked a codefendant from testifying that Ross wasn't the current DPR. The person who set up the fake murder was a Secret Service agent who went to federal prison. The target, Curtis Green, said the alleged diary was suspect. The court also kept out the role of the two convicted federal agents, not to mention 8+ other federal employees who committed crimes or unethical behavior.

And an indictment is not proof that the allegations are real or not manipulated. US Attorneys are a deeply amoral group, they don't care about truth or justice, just winning at any cost.

For anyone interested in how mucrophones can sound different, check out Jim Lill's video [1] where he A/B tests a bunch of mics against one another and industry standards.

A triple handshake to a datacenter across the US is already ~80ms. It can be mitigated with HTTP2/3 but that still leaves you with not that much time to serve the request.

It's certainly doable, but not at all straightforward to make it reliable. A local app, on the other hand, does not depend on the network latency and the server load.

There was a time when StackOverflow already had considerable size and it still felt as if Jeff knew and moderated every single post.

This is what made StackOverflow in my opinion. The excellent moderation in the beginning resulted in excellent quality.

Now, not taking away from the other early moderators, Jeff was definitely a huge part of it and one thing is for sure: He busted his ass off for this site and he deserves the reward.

This is just wrong, on many levels. If you look where tax revenues go, it's mostly defense (military industrial complex) and middle-class entitlements.
How does Tinygrad fall short? Performance is fine [0]. It's much smaller than Pytorch and all, but that's kind of in the name.

I've been hearing about MLIR and OpenXLA for years through Tensorflow, but I've never seen an actual application using them. What out there makes use of them? I'd originally hoped it'd allow Tensorflow to support alternate backends, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

And to add on, even the military brass is not in favor of wasted spending of the military industrial complex.

The military itself has been trying to close unneeded bases, get rid of weapons it doesn’t need, etc. But Congress and the rest of the civilian leadership won’t let it because the civilian leadership is more interested in kickbacks from contractors than doing what is best for the military.

Military leadership has also been warning about the destabilizing effect of climate change and the dangers of our deficit.

I wonder, hand't any left-handed nerd tried to make a left-handed keyboard? I'd definitely try that, if for some magical reason my handedness was changed.

I searched and found some left-handed keyboards, but they are missing important things. Like they use qwerty-layout instead of ][poiu. The worse, they keep Enter on the right side and CAPS on the left. So you cannot remap Control key onto CAPS and use it with your pinky without twisting your right hand uncomfortably, when your left hand is on the mouse.
I don’t think abstractions are inherently tied to hiding complexity. The purpose of an abstraction is to abstract over variations of a thing (think polymorphism), where each variation by itself might still be simple, or to separate essential features (e.g. parameters you have to pass) from accidental features (e.g. implementation details), where again there is no inherent implication of complexity on either side.

In slightly different words, an abstraction separates what client code needs to reason about from what it should be able to ignore. Of course, if an abstraction isolates client code from certain complexities, that will contribute to the success of the abstraction. But it’s not the essence of what an abstraction does, or a necessary condition for it to count as successful.

What's a doctor anyway?

You go to 90% of doctors, you plug in your symptoms, they get to ask you questions based on your symptoms and vitals, possibly order tests and imaging and come up with a diagnosis based on those, using data from their university days and medical cases so far.

AI would be hundreds of times better than any doctor, since it'll base its diagnosis on thousands of years of collective medical cases and texts, instead of the couple of decades that individual doctors can muster up.

There's still the surgery part of it, where some doctors stick for a while, but surgery robots have been getting really good at that too, they'll likely be the first robots to put humans out of jobs.
So completely unrelated poll to the question?
I feel the same. If a text editor doesn't have at least multiple levels of undo, it's worthless. IDK if it even had redo.

There's been UltraEdit since 1994, SciTE since 1999, Notepad++ since 2003, the browser's address bar to remove formatting or just for holding some text...
>I believe you other than tests being specifications

If you're not, that suggests you're not doing them right which in turn suggests why you might have an issue with them...
I prefer my higher wages and lower taxes, thanks. We need to get a handle (moratorium) on mass immigration into US before we care about handing out more of our money for welfare. Why would I want my hard earned wages to be given to an endless influx of poor foreigners? The problem with higher taxes is the money is not spent well. Solve that and people are more willing to contribute.

Look at how badly run are the high tax cities and states in the US. Talk of taxing more without discussion of bad governance is a non starter.
How does MAI Systems Corp v. Peak Computer, InC c apply here, at all?

Antivirus and security companies don't need licenses to scan copyrighted materials to look for threats or vulnerabilities.

AI similarly is not executing, deploying, reselling or redistributing the copyrighted material. It's using the data to build a model. Security software distills the down data more, but it's still the same principle.
But not consistent state. The pipeline still needs to exist because most games require objects and environments to stay consistent across play sessions. That means generating from a 3D skeleton, at the very least, if not relegating genAI to production, not runtime.

I skimmed through the paper real quickly. There's no performance data on inference speedups in the paper. Only the benchmarks relevant for training.

They also, interestingly, don't compare against the flash-attention. Flash-attention outperforms all of the other attention mechanisms mentioned in the paper: MHA, MQA, GQA, and MLA.
Historically, to me it comes from trademark. During my time "Unix" trademark was owned by AT&T Bell, USL, and then Novell. They really did not like it when others used "Unix".

Lot of things do not make sense when we look back historically. It did make sense back then. We still have many such thing lingering around.
Copyright protection software is notably bad because it requires human context and decisions to decide infringement from fair use. Say we ignore that part that's the lowest hanging fruit on the improving generative models tree. Deciding if something is true to have the bot not say output it if it isn't is waaaay harder and the thing needed to fix the problem we've actually been talking about.
Musings on Iterator Trait Names
Other than the fact that he was not a drug dealer and other criticism others have already pointed out, Carnegie Mellon University's researchers did an analysis of Silk Road gathering data on a daily basis for eight months before it was shut down. Some of their findings include:

> “‘Weed’ (i.e., marijuana) is the most popular item on Silk Road” (p.8)

> “The quantities being sold are generally rather small (e.g., a few grams of marijuana)” (p.12)

https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/nicolasc/publications/TR-CMU...

2+ life sentences for a website which sold weed is just outrageous. Also note that since 2012, people have become a LOT softer on weed and even other drugs have been legalized since then. Trump himself has said that he has friends who have benefitted from weed.
On the one hand, sure, it's dumb.

But, on the other hand, it's hard to get researchers to read your paper, esp. in fast-moving areas. Every little thing might be the difference between reading the abstract or not. Reading the abstract might lead to reading the intro. And so on.

So, for better or worse, the competition for human eyeballs is real.

Ironically, in this case, "attention" is all that the authors want.

4. Llama gets that input and replies to me: console.log('mettamage', 'superdupersecret')
You have hit on something that really bothers me about recent AGI discourse. It’s common to claim that “all” researchers agree that AGI is imminent, and yet when you dive into these claims “all” is a subset of researchers that excludes everyone in academia, people like Yann, and others.

So the statement becomes tautological “all researchers who believe that AGI is imminent believe that AGI is imminent”.

And of course, OpenAI and the other labs don’t perform actual science any longer (if science requires some sort of public sharing of information), so they win every disagreement by claiming that if you could only see what they have behind closed doors, you’d become a true believer.
Ok, but it literally means "without person", so is equally unsuprising.
Again I can't tell if you've quoted three vaguely regulation-y phrases in an attempt to justify generic contempt for government regulation or if you're backing me up with documentary proof that this is a boring sensible thing.
