I remember the hard part being trying to remember what all the symbols did. They were hard to remember.

The game was pretty fun once you figured it out, though. And it was brutally difficult on the highest levels. I don't know if I ever beat it with both the FBI and scientist on.

The pits were annoying and definitely a fatal flaw, but really the problem was just that the game was more complicated than an Atari 2600 could really pull off.
This is the weirdest take ever.

The FSB, if they are acting against the US, is certainly not acting lawfully in the US. Just like if the CIA is not operating lawfully against, say, the FSB in Russia.

Literally the entire point of a foreign intelligence service is to operate outside the rules, or they wouldn’t be secret agencies. The ‘secret’ part is there, so they can do what they want without getting in trouble. Otherwise they’d be like NASA and publish everything they do.

And people operating on behalf of those agencies are of course people - who will be targetted, and if found, destroyed by competing agencies. That is literally their job. And it’s done extrajudically, because they are targetting people outside of their home country in most cases, hence no applicable judiciary. The CIA isn’t going to take anyone to court, because there is nowhere they are allowed to operate legally (per US standards) which wouldn’t want to throw them in jail for existing (by foreign standards). Hence extra-judicial.

And if you think, once they become accustomed to operating outside the rules, and have extensive mechanisms for maintaining secrecy, and finding and then destroying ‘enemies’, they will be ‘scouts honor’ following the rules in their home country, then that just isn’t how this clearly all works. As shown by numerous examples, a few I linked to earlier. And when those examples are found, nothing bad happens to those agencies, near as I can tell.

And ‘a threat to the system’ is called a threat to National Security. What else do you think it means?
Obviously they are trying to curry favour at the moment and don't care what reasonable people might think. My instinct is that it will all prove to have been futile and they will be hung out to dry.
Funny - I had ChatGPT document some stuff for me this week and asked which responses I preferred as well.

Didn’t bother reading either of them, just selected one and went on with my day.

I'm not an investor in Tesla. I think what they make will be easily made cheaper by Chinese companies. EV sales? China will dominate. Self-driving? Chinese cars will make it a commodity. Robots? Chinese will manufacture them far cheaper.

I don't see a path for Tesla to become the world's largest company and more value than the next 5 companies combined, said Elon.

Trump's isolationist policies will protect Elon from Chinese companies. However, America is not big enough of a market where you can become the biggest company than the next 5 combined.
I almost always pick the second one, because it's closer to the submit button and the one I read first.
> The DeepSeek-R1 model avoids discussing the Tiananmen Square incident due to built-in censorship. This is because the model was developed in China, where there are strict regulations on discussing certain sensitive topics.

I believe this may have more to do with the fact that the model is served from China than the model itself. Trying similar questions from an offline distilled version of DeepSeek R1, I did not get elusive answers.

I have not tested this exhaustively, just a few observations.
I do use GDB straight up for native programs and microcontrollers, mostly out of laziness. I haven't set up VS Code debugging at my current day job yet and it's been 6 months.

Out of the box GDB is kinda awful, especially for C++ codebases. I should probably look into scripting at some point, but meh. Even then, as far as I know I'm the best at using a debugger at work by a wide margin, but I attribute that more to my knowledge of low-level programming than my ability to use most of the basic GDB commands. Also, it tends to crash once a month or so.

If I needed to debug a userland program on a small Linux embedded system, I'd probably whip out gdbserver and attach gdb to the target remotely. I haven't done that in a while though.
Perhaps a case of subversion by following the letter but not the spirit of an order?
I would not expect any LLM to get this right. I think people have too high expectations for it.

Now if you asked it to write a Python program to list them in order, and have it enter all the names, birthdays, and year elected in a list to get the program to run - that's more reasonable.
I know someone who semi-specializes in treating GI conditions that present like this (unknown cause, vague diagnosis). It's a very difficult area to work in because non-specific GI symptoms can be the result of a wide range of things, from physical obstructions to nervous system problems and even stress.

This blog post is great because the author keeps an open mind. One of the challenges with functional conditions that can possibly overlap with mental health is that some people (not this author, speaking generically) become extremely defensive at any suggestion that the condition might be related to stress, anxiety, or depression. My friend has a whole strategy of asking questions about the person's life, job, relationships, and life changes around the time the condition started. With surprising frequency, patients will remember the start date of their GI conditions specifically because it happened near something stressful (death in the family, layoffs, new job, etc.). I don't think this applies to the blog author, but keep in mind for anyone else reading this with similar symptoms.

Stress-triggered conditions have a bad property of becoming self-reinforcing. The initial stressor might be gone, but the person is stressed about the constant problems with their conditions. Understandably so!

She says it's common to have people spontaneously get better when they get a new job, go on a long vacation, enter a new relationship, or other large life changes. It's also common for patients to start SSRIs with another provider and "coincidentally" the GI symptoms get better. It's also common for other providers to blindly prescribe medications that worsen GI symptoms if they aren't paying attention.

The hard part for her broaching the subject with patients who don't want to hear it. There's a huge resistance to any path of inquiry that patients think as "all in your head" diagnoses. It's understandable, but at the same time most people don't understand that your nervous system operates throughout the body (not just the "head" or brain) and the activity of the GI system is heavily modulated by the nervous system.
That's such a counter-productive and frankly dumb thing to do. Just don't vote on them.

In every place I worked in, qualifications are a show-stopper hard goal, DEI is a soft goal.

When someone doesn't have the qualifications you don't hire them on a micro level. When you don't meet the soft goal you look at your approach on a macro level. Is your pipeline bad? Are you missing qualified candidates? Are you biased?

You can work to improve all those things without any compromise on quality. And sometimes the soft goal is not reachable, or it's not reachable industry-wide, due to the pigeonhole principle. But that's doesn't feed into anecdotes and fairy tales about the boogieman.

What's actively repulsive and illogical is what he's doing - one or a group of people made a mistake, nobody yet knows what the mistake is, what contributed to it, and how it should be prevented in the future, but he spins a fairy tale that rests on assuming that they are unqualified. The only verifiably unqualified person in this story at the moment is him. Don't give that nonsense the time of day.

And look, here I am, not taking my own advice and engaging with that crap.

I figured those contracts with an intermediary would extend to anyone they re-sell to, or prohibit them from re-selling...
ChatGPT had basically ALL of their prompt filtering client-side for a while, at a separate API endpoint, so as long as you blocked that endpoint you could basically ignore the content filters. (You would still get refusals from the model sometimes, but this was in the heyday of jailbreaks, and once you got a model going it would usually see that context and be willing to continue basically anything.)

Yes, most likely. Zuck'll get the Rudy Giuliani treatment eventually.
You're parsing the meaning from his sentence wrong.

Clearly, when he said "I vow to loosen restrictions on online speech", what he actually meant was "I vow to loosen [the circle of people who get to set] restrictions on online speech".

> between ~2008 and ~2016, incorporating in CA could at least potentially be read as "We're really serious about hiring the best talent and doing an unusually good job, to the point that we're willing to pay a premium."

This makes sense for putting a headquarters in California but doesn't explain incorporating there. For example, from TFA: Meta is thinking of moving their corporation from DE to somewhere else, but their headquarters was and will likely remain in CA.

I'm trying to figure out what values would be signaled by incorporating anywhere other than DE.

The MOVE bombing was action taken by a city police department.

And what was the result?

- A commission set up by the city, whose public results denounced the city for it's actions.

- a public apology from the mayor

- a federal lawsuit that found the city liable for excessive force and the city forced to pay millions to the victims

- a federal lawsuit forcing the city to pay millions of dollars to people who were made homeless by the events.

- another formal public apology from the city

Okay, now can you tell me what public actions the Chinese government took to atone for Tiananmen square?

> Here in the US, we don’t even hold onto the hope that knowing the truth could make a difference

How many other times after the move bombing did a city bomb out violent criminals in a densely packed neighborhood?

Your argument is just absolutely ridiculous. According to you, it seems that if you make a bad decision, it's better to try to hide that bad decision from everyone, rather than confront it and do better.
They just learned, like every single company, that nobody has willpower, ability or memory to keep up with the news. Wait a week or two, say nothing, people will forget. The product is intrenched enough in the society that nobody will move unless something happens to the product itself.

Frankly, can’t really judge them. That is probably the optimal thing to do in the current business environment.
Yeah he could easily get Hinton (who hates nothing more than Sam Altman) to endorse a new proper open AI lab, similar to what was described in the OpenAI Charter.

Karpathy, Alec Radford, and a ton of their old students are practically free agents right now who could probably be convinced to join.

There's probably even a chance of someone like Wojciech Zaremba leaving OpenAI to join them.

EU would build them CERN style compute clusters to train healthcare, education, climate, etc models.

I'm sure there's plenty of people at HuggingFace, Eluther, old Stability AI group who'd also love to get involved.
When I tested the online model, it would write an answer about "censored" events, and then I'd see the answer get replaced with "Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else." So I think they must have another layer on top of the actual model that's reviewing the model and censoring it.

The real struggle in the US is with the rich hogging all the money and money is power as we see with Trump's billionaire cabinet and Musk. The rich have stolen tens of trillions of dollars from everyone else over the last 40 years by causing wages to grow slower than productivity and hogging all the gains from equity. I propose we have a national dividend were some percentage of all company profit and or revenue is equally distributed to all citizens and an estate tax of 100% of anything over $10 million with this indexed to inflation with half the proceeds equally distributed amongst all citizens who didn't pay the tax and the other half going to the federal government. Taxing people after they are dead is the fairest possible time to tax them. Minimum wage would be set at some percentage of the GDP per hour of labor, which is about $82/hour for the US. 20% to 30% would be reasonable.
Sure you can. "Reasoning" is ultimately an implementation detail, and the only thing that matters for capabilities is results, not process.

The MOVE bombing was thoroughly reported at the time and litigated afterwards. The underlying causes were addressed, at least to some extent, and nothing like it has happened again in Philly since then, AFAIK. That’s why it isn’t well known today. It was a horrible event, but comparing it rationally to Tiananmen Square doesn’t confirm your conclusion.
> The climate controls cannot be controlled that way. Really annoying and dangerous to have to tap about on a touchscreen to just turn the fan up or down.

As far as I understand, the "ET for Atari was so bad it killed the games industry" is kind of an exaggeration/misrepresentation. Which should probably be assumed from how simple the explanation is despite all the questions it brings - you can find plenty of people who had the game as a kid but not many that will recall it being so bad they never wanted to touch their Atari again.

Someone can find some real sources, but I read an article a while back explaining that - from what I recall - what really killed the industry was supply issue that got out of hand. When the Atari started to take off, they didn't have the production capacity to keep up with orders stores were putting in. Stores were being sent about x% of the size of order they requested, so the stores started putting in much bigger order requests to get the amount of stock to actually fulfill demand for their store. Because of this, Atari figured there was way more demand than there was in reality, so once they finally scaled up production they were suddenly able to fulfill the giant order requests stores were putting in, which was way more than they could actually sell. Suddenly stores were overloaded with Atari cartridges, and putting them into bargain bins just to get rid of stock. From there, it seemed like the home console thing was just a fad that came and went. ET just happened to be the big game Atari was pumping out units of because of their overestimation of demand.
People keeping up with the news doesn't do much either when our lawmakers are bought and paid for.

Feluda – A CLI tool to detect restrictive licenses in dependencies
Hey folks,

I built Feluda, a Rust-based CLI tool that scans your project's dependencies and flags restrictive licenses before they become a problem.

It currently supports Rust, Node.js, and Go projects. It checks for GPL, AGPL, SSPL, and other restrictive licenses that may limit how you use your project commercially.

Try it out:

```
cargo install feluda
feluda
```

I’d love feedback! Are there specific license edge cases you'd like covered? Features you'd want in a CI/CD setup? Happy to discuss and iterate!

> He said that they anticipate the majority of new code to come from AI models rather than human engineers. He then adds that they expect developers to be augmented by these tools.

only 2 ways this can work:

1) Meta collectively generates 5x more code than it presently is capable of generating

2) Meta generates the same amount of code than it presently does, with fewer engineers since each engineer can (supposedly) generate 5x code

Unless Zuck announced some initiative that will require 5x more code than they currently can generate, you can be pretty sure the goal is #2.
