If you weren't paying attention when people like Patrick Soon-Shiong and Jeff Bezos were elbowing each other out of the way to pay tribute to Trump (1) -- or when CBS 'settled' a lawsuit that was widely seen as a certain win for them (2) in exchange for a $15M donation to the Trump Presidential Library, matching an earlier contribution in the form of an unnecessary 'settlement' from ABC, you probably aren't going to pay any attention to this comment, either. But for the record:

Also, bear in mind the history of America's most popular cable news network. Fox News is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party, and that was always the idea. After Watergate took down Nixon, the GOP swore the same oath that the Holocaust victims did: Never again. Never again would something like Watergate be allowed to play out in an unbiased, uncontrolled media environment. Ailes and Murdoch answered the call (https://theweek.com/articles/880107/why-fox-news-created) and the rest is history.
Probably because it's implausible, trivial to fake, and there's no way to conclusively prove it's real without the original tweet still being up.
It probably also depends on the channel separation for the individual instruments in the final mix and any effects applied. A stereo chorus effect on one of the instruments can really interfere with the separation from other instruments from what I can tell.

Piano (or various keys), organ and some guitars (with effects) have a lot of frequency overlap. The model struggles there.
Hey, Chandler— this article says you're using "c++0x" concepts. Is that Indiana-style concepts?
Not really. Toss a scheduler in and some RAG to remember conversational stuff and that's about it.
Or just use asn1 like normal people.
Postgres stores and refers to your tables in lowercase (even though you can reference them case insensitively) so naming conventions that involve case don't really work.
But fresh palm wine is now bottled for sale in Ghana at least. I know because I've bought some in Ghana several times. Not sure how they preserve the freshness and prevent further fermentation though.
Not sure what you are talking about. Audits happen all the time in government.

What is extraordinary is doing so with (a) no thought to privacy or security, (b) using teenagers with no security clearances, (c) by a billionaire who seems to just be going after his enemies e.g. USAID was investigating SpaceX.
"Anyone in 2035 should be able to marshall the intellectual capacity equivalent to everyone in 2025"

There's a lot to unpack there. Maintain an internal 10-year technological lead compared to what's public with OpenAI?
Sorry for the late reply - and I'm not sure if this is covered in other threads... but...

I'm not seeing an argument for an account denominated in crypto as being advantageous over an account on the same platforms denominated in USD (or Euro or whatever)

The argument you seem to be putting forward is one of "digital is superior to physical" - which might be accurate, but still leaves open what currency is best.

edit:
It could also be said that the crypto "wallet" is transferable amongst exchanges, but finding someone willing to trade physical goods or services for that crypto is the next problem, whereas the USD is already accepted/easily transferable to people with accounts.
Neat, but I wish Meta would just say what this really is - "please give us some In the Wild data to further train our models on".

I did the same technique years ago for estimating ages. Person uploads an image, helps align 10% of our facial landmark points, and run the estimator. If we were wrong, ask for correction and refine.

Its still cool and all, but meh based on my prior experience.
I do not find it impressive. It is not difficult technically. The reason others do not do this is that they have ethical and moral limitations, they wont DDoS networks because they are aware of harm. Maybe we should stop treating people who cause intentional harm as superior.

Not opening LLCs you do not know what to do with is also more of "good impulse control" sign.
I would say "Happy dappy dumbp dipshits" is not what I get from the Baha'i ideals

Some people are born leaders, thats their inherent personality tendencies. Often they are psychopathic, which is a congential thing, and hence not their fault in any ways. Rather, just like anyone else, they are also mines rich in gems of inestimable value

So how can you get someone like Stalin or whatnot, who can mesmerize the populace, make brave, bold and rational decisions in the face intense crisis, but at the same time help them somehow understand and internalize foundational principles of justice and equity so that their strengths can be manifest without tormenting people and thereby extinguishing so much human potential?
What audit? They are mostly just stealing data.
Anthropic claims otherwise
There's of course no "way" to check, as it's a microarchitectural property. Your best bet is comparing performance of the same code on predictable vs unpredictable branches.

I don't think there's any need for x86 cores to try to handle this; it's just a waste of silicon for something doable in one instruction anyway (I'd imagine that additionally instruction fusion is a pretty hot path, especially with jumps involved; and you'll get into situations of conflicting fusions as currently cmp+jcc is fused, so there's the question of whether cmp+jcc+mov becomes (cmp+jcc)+mov or cmp+(jcc+mov), or if you have a massive three-instruction four-input(?) fusion).

Oh, another thing I don't like about fusing condjump+mv - it makes it stupidly more non-trivial to intentionally use branches on known-predictable conditions for avoiding the dependency on both branches.
> 2. The cost to use a given level of AI falls about 10x every 12 months, and lower prices lead to much more use. You can see this in the token cost from GPT-4 in early 2023 to GPT-4o in mid-2024, where the price per token dropped about 150x in that time period. Moore’s law changed the world at 2x every 18 months; this is unbelievably stronger.

This is so exciting. I guess NVIDIA's Project DIGITS [0] will be the starting point for a bit more serious home lab usage of local LLMs, while still being a bit like what Quadro used to be in the pro/prosumer market in the 00s/10s.

Now it's all RTX, and while differences still exist between pro gamer cards and workstation cards, most of what workstation GPUs were used back then is easily doable by pro gamer cards nowadays.

Let's just hope that the quoted values are also valid for these prosumer devices like Project DIGITS.

Also, let's hope that companies start targeting that user base specifically, like a Groq SBC.

And much more information when selecting just as many examples from quadrillions of randomly generated examples.

The information from the selection criteria isn't available to the model, just the chosen samples.
Gaudi 3 at least has PCIe 5.0 but for some reason they stuck with HBM2e.

> The article literally says it's not a hallucination and that the detail came from real websites

The article says that's what a Google exec claims, not that that's the actual case. They haven't pointed to any of those websites and we don't have to take them at their word.

Someone further down pointed to a source on cheese.com, where it says gouda makes up 50% to 60% of all global consumption of Dutch cheese. If the source is accurate, the AI hallucinated an incorrect response.
The best part is that even if courts force them to destroy all the pillaged data right now, it won’t stop them from making stuff up and weaponizing it anyway.
The poster presents criticism against an architectural model.

> Who are we to discern what is or isn't music?

Hopefully, people with good judgement, potentially capable of evaluating products.

The poster is clearly meaning "good music".

> Do you have the same opinion of text or code generated by or with the assistance of

There you go: the same way we note that some NN generated text is missing crucial qualities (e.g. intelligence), or that some NN generated images are missing crucial qualities (e.g. direction), you can surely admit the possibility that some NN generated sound may be missing relevant crucial qualities to the vetting of a good critic.
The only true part is 2.

1 is plainly false. Enormous ressources have been poured into models since the end 2023 and the "intelligence" (for lack of a better term) has stayed roughly the same, around the level of GPT-4. Nothing has happened since then.

3 is a philosophical opinion, not based on any falsifiable evidence.

All in all: mostly FUD, as per the usual MO.
> is that because they’re an expert creating tutorials for beginners, or because they are a beginner and these entry-level projects represent their skill level?

You can tell by reading one of them though, right? For a subject I'm an expert at, I can tell the difference between an expert talking about the basics, and a beginner doing the same.
It didn't really the first time. I recorded a second one and annunciated really strong/well (and said more) -- that yielded the positive results.
Hey, I was looking for a video from her today and just happened to realize they were missing. They are set to private because I managed to find a now defunct link. Never been on this forum before but I'm as saddened as any of you to see that she must've felt this was necessary. I loved her silly videos and when I was younger she helped bring great joy to mathematics.

Trale v0.2.0 – rust async runtime using io_uring
Announcing trale v0.2.0!

I'm excited to announce the release of trale v0.2.0! This release brings several important updates that will improve the overall performance and usability of the project.

Key Features:

- Reactor port: Successful port of the reactor from using epoll-based IO to *io\_uring*. This change should result in improved performance and scalability for IO operations.

- New futures module: The switch to `io_uring` allows file-system based futures to be written. To that end, a new `fs` module that provides asynchronous methods for file system operations has been added. This includes async file reading, writing, opening, and creating directories.

- New webserver example: This release includes a new web server example demonstrating the new `fs` futures module! While it's a basic HTTP server implementation, it demonstrates some impressive performance benchmarks. On localhost, it can achieve up to 25,000 requests per second (or 399,385 KB/sec) on a single thread, though keep in mind it's unoptimized for production use.

They are probably referring to open sourcing llama.
Companies don’t have feelings like you do, and they don’t have ideologies. They do what they think will make them money.
Wait until you find out about the grift that the billionaires you don't hear so much about have been pulling. I agree with your concerns around turbulence, but the audits of these shady government agencies needs to be done.
Can you define what you mean by economic liberation? For most of economic history, I think the definition would have been freedom from famine and slavery and I think on both counts we've been wildly successful. Both basically only occur in failed states, where there's either no government at all (Somalia, Sudan, parts of Iraq and Syria) or the government is an authoritarian dictatorship (North Korea, Venezuela)

I ask, because I think you might be overestimating the ability of the current global system to produce "economic liberation", depending upon what you mean. A rough estimate of GDP per capita would put it at ~$20K if you adjust for purchasing power, less than $15K if you don't. That's well below what most people in the developed world would consider to be free of burden or worry and it assumes a completely equal distribution of all production, which is obviously unreasonable.

We need to continue to push the ball forward in growing wealth by continuing to improve productivity, which is going to require continued advancements in technology like mass adoption of AI.
I knew exactly what this meant before reading the article.

I had to pass through a similar screening at the courthouse every morning while I was on a jury. (Unlike airports you don't need to remove your shoes.)

I am genuinely more concerned by Elon Musk himself having access then one of these with skeletons in the closet. USA adversaries are no more dangerous then USA is to itself.
The first two are forks that fundamentally did not change all that much, the latter aims to create a "true" opensource alternative of VSCode (including the ecosystem, where VSCodium falls flat) to serve as a common base for (and by) a few industry giants to build their next-gen of IDEs on top of (an "IDE framework", per their description).

As for the first two, last I checked openvscode-server was just enough to host VSCode for the browser, code-server had a few extras, like hosting at a subpath.
No journalist is going to ask him this because they’re afraid of retribution and a loss of access. If they do he’s going to deflect - nobody will press him on a genuinely galling statement of values.
Ada influenced Rust, so it's interesting to see that influence flow backwards, too.
Those all exist in the Linux kernel repository. Granted they are not overlapping with c in their purpose for the most part.

One language per repo rules makes sense when you can have many smaller repos, but for something as immense as the Linux monorepo it's really limiting. Especially considering the lack of desire to add stable interfaces from which other repos could operate independently.
Yep, and even without dynamic memory management, Ada is not type-safe: https://www.enyo.de/fw/notes/ada-type-safety.html

Rust also has soundness holes, by the way. This one is almost 10 years old: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/25860
I recall my C++ class, via the University of California Extension program.

In the 1990s Bay Area, there was a catalog of hundreds of classes, taught after business hours or on weekends. The classes for security certification, or BGP routing, or C++, teacher and students were usually industry professionals.

We learned C++ object design of a style I would consider fairly strict, strong typing. Details escape me at the moment.

But I do remember the two graybeard Ada programmers sitting in the back of the room: "C++ compiler will accept that? Are you kidding?"

Raytheon or Honeywell, I think. Missile drivers.

Ada programmers.
It's pretty typical to signal word boundaries in some way.

Thinking about the most general norms across database vendors, consider a table name for User Posts: You could write that as UserPosts, but in a lot of databases you're going to end up with userposts, since typically SQL and identifiers are naturally case insensitive; you can preserve case by quoting that "UserPosts", but now you have extra characters just to get the case sensitivity. Finally, you can use snake case: user_posts... true you still end up with extra characters, but ultimately I think a little less shifting. Snake case also keeps you in line with much historical precedence in writing names for the database as well.
> The compression was trivial: store a suffix preceded by one byte that contained the length of the prefix that the word shared with its predecessor in dictionary order

This is more or less what was speculated upon as compatible with his stemming ideas [1], but I (and partly McIlroy1982) doubt you ever really needed the fancy hashing-compression in the first place (though I'm sure it was fun to figure out!). I got better perf (3x faster on a 5500 word document with an 82,000 word "unabridged" dictionary that prefix-compresses to only 278K which would fit on a 360K floppy of the era) than v7spell on v7 with just a merge algorithm somewhat more finely tuned against that format. Of course, on a shared computer getting either the streaming disk access (without seeks spoiling the party) or all that RAM to yourself (without swapping spoiling the party) is a guess. And, yeah, probably the background Doug mentions is all in the combined-unix-git-history by now { and it would not have been as attractive an academic paper :-) }.

I brought it up because if you took a poll of the Americans, the vast majority would be against spending money on it. And comparing it to just “an opera in Columbia”, I’d wager even less would support a transgender opera.
I don’t know how many flags it takes to flag kill a whole article, but the threshold for comments is two or three flags. It doesn’t take a lot of people to kill an entire topic of discussion by flagging related articles, especially for users who only peruse the front page. Brigading on this site is almost trivial.

Dang’s anti-flagging mechanism is the human factor that balances that very blunt automated system. People don’t seem to vouch for articles as much as for comments.

There are sane approaches to dealing with this - e.g. epochs.

This wasn’t proven by the time c++11 was ready, but for c++20 and beyond it’s a shame they didn’t go with this.
Google has a fair amount of successful acquisitions. YouTube, Android, Google Photos and a ton of others that ended up being Google products.

> I was a 19-year-old holding an assault weapon in my daily work in the military with the power to terminate the lives of almost 99.99% civilians, friends with 23 starting piloting USD 5 million machines, and it's just sad to see that we as a society do not see young adults as capable as their older counterparts.

Who would you trust more, a teenager with active military training and awareness on how to handle a gun or a teenager picking up a gun off the floor for the first time?

If these teens all had followed proper protocol, went through a full security clearance process and training on how to handle sensitive data there would be no issue. They did not. And they are definitely not old enough to have had experience dealing with highly sensitive systems. So you've got people that are not qualified to handle data, working on systems they are not experienced enough to work in, kicking over load-bearing pillars that they can't see.
The linked Breitbart article had this:

“Between 2005 and 2008, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) devoted at least $330 million in funding to failed ADP projects intended to deter farmers and traffickers from cultivating and trafficking opium.”

The article actually said the money was intended to STOP opium production. But the Whitehouse Fact sheet (last bullet point) twisted the facts to say the complete opposite.
There once was a man named Elon

Who, for Trump, definitely got his kneel on

Who expected he would,

Working for the orange colored felon?
Cause these can get access to things Elon wants access to and will do what Elon wants. Musk does not want audit, he wants someone who will find exactly what Musk wants him to find and wont worry about legality or rules.

Musk is not concerned with producing false accusation for example. Obviously he could find corrupt auditors and probably did, but those are slower. They take more time to produce what was asked from them.
After talking to an awful lot of 18-20 year olds (our target audience) we decided we wanted to go with a "scrollytellying" style. I'm not a designer and I've done worked in that style before. After looking into a range of platforms — Vev and Closeread for Quarto deserve particular mention — I felt that Shorthand (https://shorthand.com/) was the best option for rapid development given my lack of experience in this whole process.

In general I've been very pleased. You don't have the fine scale control you do on a platform like Vev, but for someone like me that is probably a good thing because it keeps me from mucking around quite as much as I otherwise would with design decisions that I don't really understand.

The price is a bit steep for a self-funded operation and we're constrained a bit by the need to use their starter tier, but I feel like we are definitely getting our money's worth and customer support from Shorthand has been exemplary.
The crux of the challenges AGI presents is hardly mentioned as a footnote in this blog:

> In particular, it does seem like the balance of power between capital and labor could easily get messed up, and this may require early intervention. We are open to strange-sounding ideas like giving some “compute budget” to enable everyone on Earth to use a lot of AI, but we can also see a lot of ways where just relentlessly driving the cost of intelligence as low as possible has the desired effect.

The primary challenge in my opinion is that access to AGI will dramatically accelerate wealth inequality. Driving costs lower will not magically enable the less educated to be better able to educate themselves using AGI, particularly if they're already at risk or on the edge of economic uncertainty.

I want to know how people like sama are thinking about the economics of access to AGI in more broad terms, more than just a footnote in a utopian fluff piece.

edit: I am an optimist when it comes to the applications around AI, but I have no doubt that we're in for a rough time as the world copes with the economic implications of it's applications. Globally, the highest paying jobs are knowledge workers and we're on the verge (relatively speaking) of making that work go the way that blue collar work did in post-war United States. There's a lot of hard problems ahead and it bothers me when people sweep them under the rug in the name of progress.
> Or, even more horrible, they might have family that adversaries can lean on.

Isn't that the case for any government employee?
True, and some will say that this enables people who are testing RISC-V code to more easily move the device around on their desk, or take it on vacation with them. But that's such a narrow use case, I suspect there's more to the story.
That's awesome! First time I've seen this. And coincidentally until today I had never even heard of the 3DO console. (I myself grew up on Amiga 500)

Having taken a class on Bach style composition in college - I think a rules engine with a random seed would certainly be much more successful at generating Bach style compositions than any neural network-based model ever will be.
Really well done. It is really a challenge for students to navigate their way around the AI landscape. I am definitely considering sharing that with my students.

Have you noticed a difference in how your students approach LLMs after taking your course? A possible issue I see is that it is preaching to the choir; a student who is enclined to use LLMs for everything is less likely to engage with the material in the first place.

If you allow feedback, I was interested in lesson 10 on writing, as an educator who tries to teach my science/IT/maths students the importance of being able to communicate.

I would suggest to include a paragraph to explain why being able to write without LLMs is just as important in scientific disciplines, where precision and accuracy are more essential than creativity and personalisation.
