Please step back and consider what you are replying to.

> LLMs are used to launder my code

If an LLM was trained only on AGPL code, would it have to be licensed under AGPL? Would its output?

> deprive me of credit

They _obviously_ deprive me of credit. Even if an LLM was trained entirely on my code, nobody using its output would know. Compare to using a library where my name is right there in the license.

> and deprive users of their rights.

I appeal to you again, re-read my comment. I am not talking about users of the model but users of the software that is in part based on my AGPL code. If my code got there traditionally by being included in a library, the whole software would have to be AGPL and users would have the right to modify. If my code is laundered through an LLM, users of my code lose that right.

> Can we agree this is harm?

So all of those things are true. And this is clearly harm.

Stealing a little from everyone is morally no different than stealing a lot from one person. Whenever you think about ML, consider extreme cases such as training on data under one license and all the arguments to pretend it's not copyright infringement fall apart. (And if you don't think extreme cases set precedent to real cases, then please point out where exactly you draw the line. Give me a number.)

Spreading the harm around means everyone is harmed similarly but that is not the kind of fairness I had in mind.
Strict aliasing isn't the root problem here, because Rust, which doesn't have C-style strict aliasing, would similarly exhibit the same theoretical miscompilation in the absence of provenance.
I heard a story of Seymour Cray doing a demo of one of the machines and it turned out there was a bug in some hardware procedure. While the customers were at lunch, Seymour opened up the machine, redid the wire wrap and had the bug fixed when they returned. (Note that many details are likely inaccurate as this is a 35-year-old memory of a second-hand story.)
Like the Crypto Wars but in reverse? Where can I get the t-shirt?
I'll say, being in some subreddits around these things, there really is a subculture which attributes nearly all abnormalities, disharmonies, regrets, or desires around gender to the person being trans. Like, they speak as if they already know what this person is going to do in the future, like they understand more from one message than this person knows about themselves from their entire life. It's mostly young kids doing this to other young kids, the same way social pressure has played out for millennia, i assume. But this is a new way it's being expressed, i think it's on the adults (as it always is) to explain to the kids that asserting facts about other people's genders or desires is exactly what we were trying to stop, and that it's very disrespectful, disenfranchising, dehumanizing to assert someone else's inner world is something you know better than them. I've said as much when I've come across it, no one's ever tried to fight me about it
Xfinity (Comcast) is uploading their own firmware to my netgear which I have purchased on amazon. So one may (rightfully) assume that they have their own backdoors there too; otherwise why would they bother doing that.
Trump, in 2020. Sadly the deep state impeded his executive order.

https://www.npr.org/2020/08/06/900019185/trump-signs-executi...
I've seen bits and pieces of this before and it's tied together with Project 2025. So I have no doubt this is what they're planning and trying to execute.

I think the problem is that they're genuinely stupid. Like far too stupid to actually execute a plan of this scale without either crashing the economy, causing a default, causing the military to overthrow the executive or an outright revolution against them.

They don't have a smart plan to descale and break apart the government, so they're just raiding offices and taking a hammer to everything. They're going to hit a load-bearing pillar with themselves still inside the building. And doing this sort of flash-speed deconstruction means the pain is immediate, obvious and devastating.

The Romans solved this because they understood you had to placate the population with bread and circuses. The current would-be fascists can do neither.

> one of the three optimizations is incorrect ... but which one is it?

> The final optimization notices that q is never written to

Isn't it obviously this assumption that's blatantly wrong? You have no clue q is never written to because the address was saved somewhere and you clearly have no idea what happened to the address afterward. It could've obviously been used to write to the variable. Is that so complicated?

This feels like saying "I closed my eyes. I no longer see you. You are clearly not in front of me anymore, so I punch into the air and hit you. Which of my assumptions was wrong?" Such a mystery!
They'd need to be able to send the emails from the same IP space they would normally come from. A hostile actor who can do that probably has better things to do with the same access.
Deltron 3030 (the song) is a work of art. I can recite it in full. Lol.
All attempts to propagate the liberal-democratic policy that is the repression of capital are countered by the nomadic drive for profit. What is more concerning than a bunch of inept fat cops is the black markets that naturally arise within legitimate white collar enterprises that will have appeared to have been compliant with the democratic imposition. The Al Capones of the next level of software development should be capable enough to spot the flaws and opportunities that can be discovered in the democratic world-system. This intelligence, awareness, and sensibility includes the critique of what mistake the current authoritarian hegemony will have made to result in the demise of faith in legislative process and congressional determination.

One important news to note is that the ones sponsoring prohibitions of effective engineering implementations are simply the criminals that got a head start in the cosmopolitan grab for economic power. This is consistent with the theory that techno-commercial incumbents dislike competition, likely because they don't really deserve their top positions and now they have to fight against nature's angry wraith which dislikes impostors in the field of technology and science. A really disorienting war between very cunning capitalists to either watch or participate in, if you can keep up with the dynamics.

edit:

It's okay if a repulsive nerd like Sam Altman uses a fraction of his billionaire wealth to ban DeepSeek. You can still be productive with a distilled seven billion parameter model like Mistral. The hacker spirit is about being resourceful and looking for ways to do a lot with little, despite the secrets being hidden through some temporary epistemological case.

Hehe, I'm essentially the only person I know who loved the ending.

I appreciated that it was a tribute to the characters we'd grown to love, and also kind of a middle finger to the plot bits that didn't line up perfectly.

I'd rather watch a show with plot gaps and great characters than a perfectly plotted show with middling characters.
It would help if people could outline exactly what they are concerned about.

As far as I can tell, nothing that that Musk et al is doing is unusual when an organisation changes hands. This is normal for a change of government or a corporate aquisition.

Perhaps there should be certain, limited, aspects of executive decision making that require congressional oversight, but because left weren't decrying the lack of checks and balances previously, they now come across as sore losers, worse, dishonest sore losers who are cloaking their pettiness as concern.

Secondly, the left lost the public support so badly that the republicans control congress now, so even if such oversight existed, it would also be controlled by the republican party.
Are cross-platform and native even mutually exclusive?

You can have a C89 application that conditionally (#ifdef) compiles differently on MS Windows and Linux. It’s native. And it’s cross-platform.
Please note that there's no real evidence that single-hemisphere sleep is a thing in humans. Some sleep researchers suggest that a brain hemisphere can spontaneously be awake during ordinary sleep in "unfamiliar" places, and that this can be a cause of poor quality sleep - but that's a very different thing from what Ziz claims to be able to do.

Also, to the best of my knowledge, Gwern has never written anything on his site about this purported single-hemisphere sleep, see https://gwern.net/doc/zeo/index for the details of what he has written about.
That’s tough. Not sure what that has to do with Stardog. Biggest companies in the world rely on it daily and you say it’s trash. I couldn’t find an email from you using it since 2013. I guess we figured something out. NNs are cool too; at last count we use half a dozen different ones including GNNs… NeSy is hot and I can hardly read a paper these days that doesn’t talk about triples.
Yes it's key to separate both, but regardless they know DNS queries + can see all http traffic and TLS handshakes will reveal (in plaintext) the name of sites connected to. So basically... they know very well where you go, they just don't always know (sometimes they do) what is being transferred there.

Uhhh no, they're pushing to make these things illegal. One is a social norm, the other is utilizing the power of the state to assert a specific opinion.
And the Trump administration is canny, they know Chinese LLM researchers have no way to read documents published in English. /s

I possibly misunderstood you. The way you talked about it initially comparing it to oxy sounded like you were endorsing it as a safe (or legal) alternative. I've seen people endorsing it on HN of all places before and just don't like the way it's often misrepresented as something safe.

I'm still not really sure what your point with the tea is. You don't have to look very hard to see that unregulated kratom being imported from god knows where had a lot of incidents of heavy metal contamination. If this was a well known issue with tea you could buy in stores in the US I'm not aware of it.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S24681...

And I'm not shilling for anything. I don't think people should be taking morphine recreationally either. Kratom blew up the way it did in popularity because people realized it's an opiate you can order legally over the internet. Your response about the tea to my disclaimer that it's not like the other plants you listed makes it sound like you think it's on the same level of safety as tea which it really isn't and people should be aware of that.
I looked into waste water heat recovery a few months back and it is a thing you can buy. You buy a special section of pipe that has a straight pipe with another pipe coiled around it. Some of the heat from the waste water gets transferred to the water coming in as they flow past each other in the pipes. They cost a few hundred bucks. I have no idea if the long term savings justify the cost (if you're looking purely at money for benefits).
What better thing can you do with that than to send three million federal employees and the institutions that depend on them into absolute chaos?

Even better, do it randomly to some significant fraction to throw critical groups into confusion. Imagine a third of all the air traffic controllers sending 'resign' right now. It'd shut down air travel in the whole country.

The brain trust behind this didn't think more than a tenth of a step ahead, to be generous. This of course assumes that the intent with these people isn't outright treason.

I totally agree. My counterpoint is that this tool is the equivalent of portable stair lift. Yes, it may hinder me from developing the ability to walk up the stairs, but I'm fine with that. The only thing that matters is that I get up the stairs.
Hmm.

If things are not getting harder then either they stay the same or get better. I would find it hard to argue for either of those positions, but I would welcome you to try to defend that "things are not getting harder". In just about every possible metric outside of maybe "few really, really wealthy individuals make more money" things are not getting better or are stable.

Are you maybe suggesting that what is good for an individual is not good for society?
I suppose it could be seen as collusion.
Telephone switches introduced the idea of frames. They were the first systems to have enough components to require modular organization. Western Electric tended to use 24 inch spacing.

19 inch racks seem to come from railroad interlocking and may have been introduced by Union Switch and Signal, founded by Westinghouse in 1881, and still around, as a unit of Ansaldo.

I was responding directly to something the person said, continuing their discussion:

> The maniacal blaming for every problem. The incessant injection of Trump and secondarily politics into every conversation and every facet of life. This…neo-activism is as caustic of a solution as the disease it attempts to inoculate.

The explanation for that is that Trump is selected to provoke that response precisely because those activists are themselves toxic people.
It is not unfair.

The linked article is about a live cockroach colony in the package when it was delivered from their ISP. If that went unnoticed, what would you think about their supply-chain security?

If you get insect-infested packages from wherever you get your electronics, you should switch suppliers. It is not normal.
It's a bit more subtle than that. They're innovating on the frontiers of the science of bribery. If you get someone to pay you $25 million to "settle a civil lawsuit" that you filed against them, it's not a bribe, it's a settlement. It's effectively legally indemnified no matter how ridiculous the lawsuit is (and given that it's a collaborative effort of sorts, the reasonableness of the lawsuit is irrelevant).
Cox only allows their whitelisted routers. Otherwise, I would use a Nokia Modem/router combo. ATT may be installing fiber soonTM.
I see discussion that the OP was about headshots for a different frame of reference, but passport/visa photos are an interesting comparable. Every country has their own standard (dimensions, framing, glasses/no glasses, smiling/not, etc). Although they might not vary too much, it used to be easier for an international traveler to go to a "passport photo" shop (as I did, years ago), but now, as you point out, it's a problem that can be solved with a computer.

Well, if that's what they want, that's what they get. I guess I can't understand an attitude that leads you to want to destroy your own country.
The actual Google maps app was released and had TBT before Apple Maps even came out. The previous/original “Maps” app was using Google map tiles but was written in-house by Apple. Whatever its feature lacks were is on Apple, and Google had already delivered that feature to customers, without Apple needing to spend all that money.
I think the far-right is working to decouple Nazi nativism and symbology from outright antisemitism in service of expanding their political umbrella. Actually, this is already Russia’s position: see how they call Ukrainians neo-Nazis even though the country is run by a Jewish person.

In a few years, identifying as a "Nazi" might even be seen as a (semi-ironic) mark of pride.
> Split the beliefs from the crime.

Pretty hard to do that when the beliefs explicitly endorse murder. Ziz used to run a blog on which she made thinly veiled death threats, argued for a personal philosophy of hair-trigger escalation and massive retribution, raged at the rationalist community for not agreeing with her on that philosophy and on theories of transness, and considered most people on Earth to be irredeemably evil for eating meat.
Your description of distillation is largely correct, but not RLHF.

The process of taking a base model that is capable of continuing ('autocomplete') some text input and teaching it to respond to questions in a Q&A chatbot-style format is called instruction tuning. It's pretty much always done via supervised fine-tuning. Otherwise known as: show it a bunch of examples of chat transcripts.

RLHF is more granular and generally one of the last steps in a training pipeline. With RLHF you train a new model, the reward model.

You make that model by having the LLM output a bunch of responses, and then having humans rank the output. E.g.:

Q: What's the Capital of France? A: Paris

Might be scored as `1` by a human, while:

Q: What's the Capital of France? A: Fuck if I know

Would be scored as `0`.

You feed those rankings into the reward model. Then, you have the LLM generate a ton of responses, and have the reward model score it.

If the reward model says it's good, the LLM's output is reinforced, i.e.: it's told 'that was good, more like that'.

If the output scores low, you do the opposite.

Because the reward model is trained based on human preferences, and the reward model is used to reinforce the LLMs output based on those preferences, the whole process is called reinforcement learning from human feedback.
What's silly about this is, if a company that wants to publicize can meet / beat the US benchmarks, then who knows what some state owned entity that's performing R&D in the background could easily achieve. Any reactions made by the US is a waste of time, just focus on pushing the US technology further and leapfrog.

You’re putting in a lot of effort to avoid actually answering any of these questions. I’m sorry if your work leads you to not want those answers.

You bear moral responsibility for the outcomes of your actions, whether you do them on your own time or while acting as the agent of a company. You do not get to “transfer” moral responsibility. Soldiers are responsible for their conduct, employees for theirs.

And, the overlap between legal and moral responsibility is that legal responsibility sometimes aligns with moral responsibility, but that’s irrelevant for the discussion of the moral.

And to cut off the obvious question of “whose morality” - yours. You are accountable to whatever moral system you prefer to live by, but you are always accountable for your actions and their consequences, even when that’s uncomfortable or you’d prefer not to be. We don’t get days off from being human.
Any of these things:

> Bringing up the "criminality of the Biden family" is a legitimately insane thing to do when defending Trump.

Most Americans preferred Trump to the previous regime, just look at the approval ratings. You’re using “insane” as a way to dismiss what most people believe without critically engaging — that they prefer Trump, for all his faults, to Biden and his influence pedaling and special treatment of his criminal son.
How does that work, precisely?

Or to be more direct, how do you work?

You choose to be a Christian and the idea that a God exists makes sense to you? It's not that the arguments for it are strong, you just choose to believe them.

Then atheism becomes fashionable and your old thoughts stop making sense to you? Not because of any new evidence, refutation or anything of the sort, but simply because you make a choice.

Are your politics the same?

Do you believe in the existence of truth? If you do, are your professed beliefs just a facade?
