A long time ago I had the idea to create an 'accountability server'. The high level idea was for it to generate unique credentials so that you could track to the source who sold your info. There are some ways to do that now, but I wonder if it is time to start exploring that idea again. If you exposed it as a VPN/proxy+app that ran on a server in your home, so that you could collect your own data and provide unique credentials on account creation, then I wonder how much that combination could figure out. Since it could act as a man in the middle it potentially could annotate credential source and see the ads and potentially track them to source. "This male enhancement pill ad is linked to your tire purchase." There is a lot of hand waving here, but I wonder if something like this could be built. The first step to stopping things like this is showing people who did it to them.
It’s funny how in recent headlines the NSA & FBI have been saying to use secure messaging app. Yet the FBI is infamous for claiming the need for back doors into these encrypted apps. What are we to think of the opposing views? Are they really being benevolent for the citizens, or do they no longer need the back door, or do they have a back door whether intentional or not?

Thank you for trying out the extension and for this great suggestion!

We've actually been thinking along similar lines. Here are a couple of improvements we're considering:

1. Built-in prompt templates - Support multiple flavors (e.g. On similar to is there already, in addition to knowledge of up/down votes, another one similar to what Simon had - which is more detailed etc.)

2. User-editable prompts - Exactly like you said - make the prompts user editable.

One additional thought: Since summaries currently take ~20 seconds and incur API costs for each user, we're exploring the idea of an optional "shared summaries" feature. This would let users access cached summaries instantly (shared by someone else), while still having the option to generate fresh ones when needed. Would this be something you'd find useful?

We'd love to hear your thoughts on these ideas.

his comparison of LLMs to search engines where an LLM is low resolution, vs. the higher resolution of a search engine returning the "actual" document implies some perceptions of authorship or authority I don't share.

I use LLMs to explore and contrast results that I can then test, the results exist as hypotheticals, and not to provide authority about the state of anything- it's conceptually more of a lens than a lever. not to trap him in that contrast, but maybe these ideas are a forcing function that causes us to see how separate our worldviews can be instead of struggling to make one prevail.

it's as though the usefulness of an engine is measured in how much we can yield our agency to it. with a search engine you can say "google or wiki told me," but an LLM does not provide authority to us. these systems don't have agency themselves, yet we can yield ours to it, the way we might to an institution. I don't have this urge so it's peculiar to see it described.

do we want our tech to become objects of deference, literally, idols?

I love Chiang's work and we need minds like his, and maybe Ian McEwan and other literary thinkers, who have insight into human character (vs. plot and object driven sci-fi thinkers) to really apprehend the meaning consequences of AI tech.

It seems to me like the final optimization is the only one that is not correct and obviously so.

> The final optimization notices that q is never written to, so we can replace q[0] by its initial value 0.

However the line right above is

*(p+1) = 10;

The type of p is char[] which decays into a pointer and the type of (p+1) is char *. Because it is char * and not char * restrict, any assignment through such a pointer can be assumed to modify any and all data in a program.

Therefore, the assumption that p[0] does not change and can be swapped out is not somehow surprisingly wrong, but simply entirely unfounded.

It is up to the compiler to prove for itself that assignment through pointers does not change data it's interested in from before to after the assignment. (except, of course, in the case of restrict pointers, where the programmer makes this guarantee). This is not very difficult, at least conceptually.

If the assignment was

*p = 10;

Well, we know that *p means p[0], which is within the bounds of the array, and we know that p and q do not overlap. Therefore, this assignment can not modify q.

In the case of the first assignment, we know that *(p+1) means p[1], which is out of bounds for the array. So we do not know whether or not an assignment through *(p+1) modifies q, and we can not assume it does not.
Ok, then how does that work, exactly?

In 2021 a survey by the Pew Research Center found that about 4.5% of U.S. adults identify as gay, but when asked what percentage of the population they believe is gay, Americans on average estimated around 20%. Similarly, a study from Britain's NHS found that British youths were 50 times more likely to suffer from gender distress since 2011. To back that up, Reuters worked with Komodo Health recently and found a 3 times increase the diagnosis of gender dysphoria from 2017 - 2021.

So with this context as a backdrop, and knowing that fascists and their money were behind it, did they manipulate narratives to create an impression amongst Americans that there are 5 times as many gay people as there actually are? And did they also create a sudden surge in demand for gender affirming care?

Tactically, how did they go about that? Did they takeover Hollywood? The media? Was their plan to create a narrative that normalizes the fringe so as to ignite hatred towards that fringe? Sounds like a pretty clever chess game.
The entire right wing media will be undergoing a shift. Trump is not a pro corporate Republican, he is a populist Republican, which used to be the dumb dweebs used by the rich elite to form a voting coalition for tax cuts.

I think they will head into the Democratic party in the next four years. Superdelegates offer far more top down control in the democrats and it is now the flag bearer for open trade and american soft power globally.

Hi, thanks for checking out the project. I don't really have anything to gauge by like experience with FPV drones but latency hasn't been an issue on my wireless network even with all the other household devices connected. I think the frame rate is mostly limited by how quickly the esp32 can capture images. In my python script I measure FPS and was receiving about 50 fps from the esp32s. I recently bought a travel router that I want to try it with outside the house.

We just have fundamentally different values. People like you are closeted dictators.

I’ve had to deal with Bilt [0]. In case you’re not aware, they have a “feature” called Instant Link that automatically pulls ALL of your personal and sensitive financial data from financial institutions, including your credit card accounts, balances, etc. They apparently do this via a partnership with a company called Method Financial [1].

It’s frankly the most intrusive thing I’ve ever encountered in any software I’ve ever used—I’m not sure how it’s even legal, but this is America where we have no real privacy rights.

Instead of giving you the option to opt in for them to get this level of access, they automatically enroll you into it when your account is created, pull your data, and then allow you to “opt out” afterward, which enables them to have access to your personal and sensitive financial data anyway. And since you literally must have an account with them if your building uses their services for rent payments, they’ve effectively rigged the system to force millions of folks to unknowingly give them access to their personal and sensitive financial data.

Anyway, in your Bilt privacy settings, there are some options you can disable (including Instant Link), and I recommend that you disable ALL of them, although given the dark practices of this company, I don’t even trust that those settings are actually honored.

Side note: Did you know about a company called Method Financial that somehow has real-time access to ALL of your personal and sensitive financial data? Did you know that this company you never heard of that has said access then sells that access to the highest bidder? Do you remember agreeing to any of that anywhere? Yeah, me neither (on all counts)…

I think the problem with democrats is they’re indirect. They don’t ask for loyalty, but seriously retaliate against anything not loyal to their principles. For example, if you’re not for LGBTQ, or you’re for meritocracy as opposed to DEI, you’re racist or not human enough to hold certain positions. so you can’t blame person X for demanding loyalty, but the result is the same no?

"Widespread robots that make their own decisions autonomously will probably be very bad for humans if they make decisions that aren't in our interest" isn't really that much of a stretch is it?

If we were going slower maybe it would seem more theoretical. But there are multiple Manhattan-Project-level or (often, much) larger efforts ongoing to explicitly create software and robotic hardware that makes decisions and takes actions without any human in the loop.

Consider your own ignorance. It is impossible to be certain of anything because of unknown unknowns. You merely assume they are lying, but you could never prove that.

> When I use an FFT to view the spectrogram on YouTube music videos, it is very obvious that YouTube applies a lowpass filter at 16kHz on all videos (true since 2023 at least).

Maybe with a browser that doesn't support Opus and gets AAC instead (Safari?). With Firefox or Chromium on Linux I get up to 20 kHz, which by design is the upper limit in Opus codec.
Words are not reducible to technical statements or algorithms. But, even if they were, then by your suggestion there's not much point in talking about anything at all.

This is clearly adding entropy to de-anonymize users between apps, rather than to add specificity to ad bids.
Yes, from my experience with this project the external antenna is a must. I've update the README with a link to the one I used.

OK, so I asked ChatGPT how to plant potatoes on Mars...

=================================================

Planting potatoes on Mars would be a pretty fascinating (and challenging) task! While Mars has conditions that make growing traditional crops difficult—like low temperatures, low atmospheric pressure, and a lack of oxygen—scientists have been experimenting with ways to grow plants in Martian-like conditions. Here’s an overview of the process:

1. Create a Controlled Environment:

Temperature: Mars’ average temperature is about -80°F (-60°C), far too cold for potatoes to grow. You’d need to create a greenhouse-like environment, potentially using materials like glass or transparent plastics, to keep the temperature warmer.

Atmosphere: Mars has only about 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure, which is too low to support plant life. A sealed greenhouse would be required to provide a breathable atmosphere with adequate pressure and oxygen levels.

Light: Mars has less sunlight due to its distance from the Sun. You would need supplemental artificial light (perhaps LEDs) to mimic Earth’s daylight cycle for the plants.

2. Soil:
Mars has soil, but it’s not exactly like Earth’s. It lacks organic material and has toxic elements like perchlorates that would harm plant growth. Scientists would need to either:

Modify Martian soil by adding organic material (like compost) and removing or neutralizing toxic chemicals.

Hydroponics: Grow potatoes without soil, using a nutrient-rich water solution instead.
I stopped reading before reaching 2/3 of it but the start is already strawman after strawman (or misunderstanding to be generous).

I don’t think most people believe the brain is made up of a discrete Processing part that accesses information from a memory part that’s encoded in binary there. But just because the brain doesn’t contain a literal encoding of something in binary doesn’t mean the neurons don’t store the information.

If you download the weights of an LLM, you’re not going to find the text it can output „from memory“ anywhere in the file, but the weights still encode the information and can retrieve it (with some accuracy).

Sounds to me like a sci-fi author exploring his thoughts. Perhaps a full treatment of the subject wasn’t on his mind that day. I also don’t expect the article’s author to include anything they feel is mundane to themselves. Or to only include what they personally found interesting.
>I think most of the issue comes from the challenge of informational coherence. Once incoherence enters the context, the intelligence drops massively. You can have a lot of context and LLMs can maintain coherence— but not if the context itself is incoherent.

As a non-expert, part of my definition of intelligence is that the system can detect incoherence, a.k.a reject bullshit. LLMs today can't do that and will happily emit bullshit in response.

Maybe the "gates" in the "workflows" discussed in the Anthropic article are a practical solution to that. But that still just seems like inserting human intelligence into the system for a specific engineering domain; not a general solution.

Agreed - I've worked with PKI in many years, and know why the various systems work...in terms of "why you can decrypt again", not in terms of why it is secure (no other way to decrypt) which no one really knows. But if we assume for a moment the systems are secure, it is truly fascinating when thinking about it in abstract terms: Who would have thought, it is possible to give someone an exact recipe to follow that scramble a message to be sent... we can consider e.g. an encryption routine where the public key is inline so it is really just a standalone scrambling problem. Even though it is completely public, it can only be used to scramble and not unscramble. The sender who literally went through the steps to scramble the message, cannot undo what they just did. (the sender could have saved the original before scrambling!). And it is not because data is thrown away it can't be unscrambled - all the information is there there, fully recoverable, but only by the person who made the scrambling-recipe and there's no practical way to deduce this unscrambling recipe from the scrambling recipe.
We can discuss nonsense.

But Hegel is definitely not fashionable.

This is it. That's the reason. People feel like they're being disrespected when reading AI. The whole point of the internet is making people think they're being fed high-value information while the whole point of "AI slop", of course, is to be as cheap as possible when making the information.

In reality value of information is of course mostly independent of whether it's AI generated or not. We're in that weird period where AI beats low-effort human writing, but still falls pretty far short of well-researched well-reasoned human effort. So a weather report written by AI will probably be better than human written, as will all information, up to a certain length, maybe up to a level of difficulty. For example, I'm learning languages and having LLama generate both lessons and correcting my responses. It is far better than any language teaching book can hope to be. I'm teaching my kids python, and having AI generate intros and correct and critique their programs ... I could beat it with enough effort, but for similar effort. And whilst AI cannot yet write a great movie script, so it isn't (yet) a global thing, most information, online and offline, isn't great quality either (and wasn't before AI).

People's AI detector and disgust is about a distaste for other people thinking of them as so low-value that they should be fed cheap information. Even while, of course, they're not paying anything for the internet sites they read (and I get it, which ISPs and FANGs do make worse by giving the impression people DID in fact pay for internet sites, either by monthly payments or "clicks")

> step 2 was fine, because it wasn't C, so it didn't have the aliasing semantics of C.

LLVM still has its own aliasing semantics. It must, both so that it can exploit at least some of C's aliasing rules, and more importantly so that we can determine whether a given transformation is correct, without reference to the entire corpus of optimization passes.

The article describes three possible choices of aliasing semantics for LLVM IR, each of which makes a different optimization pass illegal. You are arguing for one particular choice, without addressing its downsides as also covered in the article.
You've made a lot of strong, specific assertions here that contradict my own understanding. For example, you seem to be dismissing some troubling questions regarding sex assignment at birth based on on-the-spot judgment calls.

It would be cool if it could also do “LLM style” operations, like summarizing or extracting key points of the documents
