Altman tells OpenAI staff that board hasn't seen 'anything official' from Musk
We've got your reply, which says it's not taboo and is actually common (not contradictory, lots of taboo things are common). And then we've got the other reply, which says it's not taboo because the idea is so ridiculous (implied "You'd have to be an idiot to believe it, and recognising that someone is an idiot isn't establishing a taboo").

I don't know whether it's past the mark enough to be considered a "taboo" yet, but the other comment replying to him is certainly treating it as taboo. I would note that many, many other people particularly in academia/important society act the same way as the other commenter. I'd also note I have felt strong social pressure to not hold the beliefs I hold about LLM's capacity for reasoning, including actually losing meaningful social status.

Probably worth remembering that different subcultures have different taboos.

Simplicity: are they exactly the same knob, thus lowering ordering costs, shipping and receiving costs, inventory costs, supply chain costs, design costs, and error potential? Quite likely. This also allows upstream suppliers to double down on volume and work to lower costs at their end.

Versus... the designer of a custom complex multi-part powered assembly (manufacturing cost not discussed, cleaning not discussed, visibility in varying light conditions not discussed) who has the fantasy that users want to squint at a tiny screen on a knob while driving, and that pushing all this and associated documentation down a global service network is going to come at an acceptable cost to users.

This begs the question: who's the real knob?

I think they were talking about the "model giants" like OpenAI you mentioned. Not saying they're correct, but I will concede the amount of copyrighted information someone like OpenAI would want is probably (at least) an order of magnitude more than this particular case.
Ah. You're referring to the issue of devices which don't have sufficient sources of entropy to generate high-quality random numbers, particularly at early boot, particularly on first boot, and particularly for headless network-connected devices (like home router/gateway boxes).

The 2012 Heninger paper (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit...) found quite a high number of duplicate TLS keys across seemingly-independent hosts, and attributed it to this issue:

Over the next few years there was quite a lot of work, including in the Linux kernel, on improving the entropy sources available to such devices, and making them more foolproof to use. https://lwn.net/Articles/724643/

The issues identified in this survey are related, but distinct. The Debian weak keys generated in 2006-8 are due to a straight up bug in Debian, and RSA keys that are of a too-small size are orthogonal. I found far fewer "inexplicable duplicate" TLS keys than Heninger

If we're being honest here. A lot of the current technocrats made one or two successful products or acquisitions, and more or less relied on those alone to power everything else.

240W cables are here but at around a 10x price premium. Also cables are chipped so e.g. a 100W cable won't allow 240 in the first place.

Musk is currently claiming that Tesla will have driverless robotaxis on the road in June 2025.[1]

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Tesla is in a bind. They've been promising self driving Real Soon Now since 2016, with occasional fake demos. Meanwhile, Waymo slowly made it work, and is taking over the taxi and car service industry, city by city.

This is a huge problem for Tesla's stock price and Musk's net worth. Now that everybody in automotive makes electric cars, that's not a high-margin business any more. Tesla is having ordinary car company problems - market share, build quality, parts, service, unsold inventory. Tesla pretends they are a special snowflake and deserve a huge P/E ratio, but that's no longer the reality.

Tesla doesn't want to test in California because of "regulation". This is bogus. The California DMV is rather lenient on testing driverless cars, and California was the first state to allow them. There was no new legislation, so DMV just copied the procedures for human drivers with a few mods.
Companies can get a "learner's permit" for testing with a safety driver easily, and quite a few companies have done that. The next step up is the permit for testing without a safety driver, which is comparable to a regular driver's license. It's harder to get, and there are tests. About a half dozen companies have reached that point. No driving for hire at that level. Finally there's the deployment license, which Waymo and Zoox have. That's like a commercial drivers license, and is hard to get and keep. Cruise had one, but it was revoked after a crash where someone was killed.

That's what really scares Tesla. The California DMV can and will revoke or suspend an autonomous driving license just like they'd revoke a human one. Tesla can't just pay off everyone involved and go on.

Waymos are all over San Francisco and Los Angeles, dealing with heavy traffic, working their way around double-parked cars, dodging bikes, skateboarders, and homeless crazies, backing out when faced with an oncoming truck in a one lane street, and doing OK in complex urban settings. Tesla has never demoed that level of performance. Not even close.

Generative is a technical term, meaning that a system models a full joint probability distribution.

For example, a classifier is a generative model if it models p(example, label) -- which is sufficient to also calculate p(label | example) if you want -- rather than just modeling p(label | example) alone.

Similar example in translation: a generative translation model would model p(french sentence, english sentence) -- implicitly including a language model of p(french) and p(english) in addition to allowing translation p(english | french) and p(french | english). A non-generative translation model would, for instance, only model p(french | english).

I don't exactly understand what this judge meant by "generative", it's presumably not the technical term.

> Unstable Rust features in comparison are explicitly in a state where they could be changed/broken or removed in any later release.

I'm not sure there is as much in that distinction as you hope for 2 reasons: 1) what is the actual stability guarantee of GCC extensions? 2) what is the cash value of your distinction to the point I was making?

Re: 1, do you not believe GCC has and would modify or remove an extension which conflicts with C standard behavior? I know of instances where GCC C++ definitely deprecated an extension after it was implemented according to the standard.

Re: 2, my actual point was it's fine, even good, that that that Rust takes time. And Rust deserves that time, especially if C features made their way into the kernel via GCC C extensions. If I were a company concerned about writing a Rust kernel driver or not -- I'd be way more concerned about the vicissitudes of more wild ass kernel maintainers, Linus, and the GCC maintainers, than whether Rust is going to stabilize any necessary items on the kernel team's list.

So, IMHO, yes, there may be some difference between GCC's extension stability guarantee and Rust's unstable (duh), depending on what you want, and how you want to look at it. But at 10,000 feet, this is a mostly lawyerly, but, trivial point.
Your paper reminds me of a passage, likely one of the last things T.S. Eliot wrote, from `Little Gidding` in which one stanza describes a moment in history when Germany bombed England long before the end of the war:

> "A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments. So, while the light fails
On a winter's afternoon, in a secluded chapel
History is now and England."

Asking an LLM about this verse, it seems to understand history is a pattern and that history is used to predict the next event in a sequence but it really doesn't understand the significance of the author writing "History is now and England."

I agree with this output:

> In essence, the stanza argues that history—composed of key, enduring moments—is vital for redemption and identity. Without it, a people are lost in time. This concept parallels how LLMs work: by analyzing and learning from historical (past) data, they identify patterns that allow them to generate future text. While LLMs don’t “predict the future” in a prophetic sense, understanding and leveraging patterns—much like those in history—enables them to produce output that reflects continuity, context, and nuance.

Thus, while the poem and LLMs operate in very different realms (human experience vs. statistical computation), both rely on the idea that recognizing patterns from the past is crucial to shaping or anticipating what comes next.
What constitutes a good ending is of course also a matter of perspective.

AI wiping out humanity is certainly not ending well from our perspective, but more universally who is to say. I would argue that it is not a given that we are a net positive for the universe.

Fair. This isn't the official Mullvad position, then (which is that the law may apply)?

The "Communication provider" part aside, another source (quoted above) makes it explicit that backdooring "websites" (Mullvad has a website) are fair game, btw.

> If the Swedish government tried to argue otherwise we'd get our lawyers involved

I don't doubt you would. Given the "covert" nature of the Act, Mullvad's arguments & Sweden's counter-arguments and the outcome from it (backdoors, compromises, coercion etc) will be kept a state secret. That is, there doesn't seem to be a way for the public to independently ascertain the claim that the Mullvad did fight and indeed "the law didn't apply"? [0]

> reproducible builds, transparency logs, and remote attestation

Much needed (:

Per Mullvad's posts, the Act seems to grant wide-ranging powers to Swedish authorities, including installing hardware & other sorts of physical compromises (which no amount of software mitigations would thwart, I don't think).

Among the editors which handle well ligatures is Geany.

The cursor moves always over a character, regardless whether it is part of a ligature or not. You can select and delete or replace only a part of a ligature, exactly in the same way as when using a font without ligatures.

The only thing that ligatures change is the visual appearance of the text, which is in my opinion an extremely useful workaround for the inertia of the legacy programming languages, which continue to use the restricted ASCII character set, which has never included all the characters that would have been needed in a programming language.

Now with ligatures, we are finally able to write an ALGOL 60 program that looks like it was intended to look, 65 years ago, instead of being forced to use awkward combinations of ASCII characters, like later programmers and designers of programming languages have resigned themselves to do, because of the character set limitations that the American manufacturers of computing equipment have been unwilling to remove (causing problems not only to programmers, but also to the users of non-English languages).

ASCII has never been intended to include the characters required for writing mathematical expressions. ASCII has been intended only to include the set of characters that were in use in the commercial correspondence written in English, which had been previously available in the better typewriting machines. Because of this, ASCII has always been bad as a character set used for a programming language.
