They seem popular enough that they could be leveraged to influence opinion and twist perception, as has been done with social media.

For all his tough guy stance, Trump bent over quickly to Putin. Is he repaying a debt or what is this?
Thanks for your comment and sharing that link! Very useful website.

I also have a similar suspicion. Feels like if you have billions of dollars of investment in AI, then crashing things in the internet that criticize you, can easily be solved for a few millions. If this is the case, for me, it is the biggest proof that AI won't live up to the hype.

Ask HN: How can I prepare my digital life for geopolitical disruptions?
I'm from Germany and currently rely on macOS and iOS, with all my personal data stored in iCloud. Recent political tensions have made me question what might happen in the event of a military conflict between the US and Europe. Could Apple be forced to shut down its services in Europe? What would happen to my devices, operating systems, and stored data in such a scenario?

Are there steps I can take now to prepare for this possibility? Alternatives like Windows and Android are also American-based, and even Linux has strong ties to the US. What options do I have to ensure access to my devices and data during such an event?

I’d appreciate any advice or strategies for preparing for this kind of situation.

Because we've been testing and for our tagging duse case it's been quite quite good. 4o still out performs by 4% (86% vs 90%) but it's acceptable for us given the 35x decrease in cost. We've been able to get 88% on gemini-pro so we're still debating which one we will finalize on given speed, cost, accuracy.
Fashions in AI.

Everyone is piling on Transformers and Diffusion (and in robotic, humanoids) today; but for most of the history of AI, we've been making things so simple they can only mono-task, and the only way to make commercial sense of that is to be much more efficient (on one of the many axies) than humans.

Now we have models that seem (at least at first glance) to cover the full breadth of what humans can do, so the question has become: can we make them perform at a decent skill level, rather than like someone who is book-smart enough to pass the tests but has almost no real experience of anything.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of a similar story from a friend. He, too, broke his leg and healed it quickly enough to surprise his orthopedist by riding a stationary bike. He said that initially the broken one was kinda just all by for the ride, but he thinks the circulation helped.

He too was an elite athlete (baseball).

Another friend was a bodybuilder. He said that bodybuilders do so many experiments that they sometimes know better than their own physicians. They are biohackers.

I also think people underestimate how much benefit a current LLM already has to researchers.

A lot of them have to do things on computers which has nothing to do with their expertise. Like coding a small tool for working their data, small tools crunching results, formatting text data, searching and finding the right materials.

A LLM which helps a scientist to code something in an hour instead of a week, makes this research A LOT faster.

And we know from another paper, that we have now so much data, you need to use systems to find the right information for you. The study estimated how much additionanl critical information a research paper missed.
It's an economic benefit. It's not a panacea but it does make some tasks much cheaper.

On the other hand if the economic benefit isn't shared across the whole of society it will become a destabilising factor and hence reduce the overall economic benefit it might have otherwise borne.

As someone that has played PC games since 1990, the problem is XBox has turned into a cross platform publisher after all those studio acquisitions, especially ABK.

So big mamma Microsoft, doesn't want to see only a fraction of sales on XBox hardware and PC, which given Microsoft's history always had a place alongside XBox, when they can go big (in money terms), across all platforms.

So XBox business unit has a big problem now, trying to assert the console still matters, when Microsoft as a whole, wants the big bucks more than anything, and doesn't really care about the console, rather XBox as a platform, Netflix for games.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. That post-ORIF pain being worse than the break was my experience too. Even with the plate I became quite paranoid about shifting the screws because it provided so much immediate stability I was worried I was able to do things that may loosen the screws.

A hook plate sounds horrible! Mine is a simple straight plate, bent into a helix shape to follow the natural rotation of the bone. I've got almost full mobility, although that shoulder does seize up quite readily. Not sure whether that's the plate or just remnants of the reduced mobility post-crash and post-surgery.

I've been told to expect two weeks of surgical healing and a further 4 weeks of babying it and avoiding impacts. I'm hoping your removal being tougher was due to the different plates. Would quite like it gone and to get on with my life now.

Speeding up FLUX.1[dev]: A Comparison between torch.compile, TensorRT, and Pruna
At Pruna AI, we are huge fans of the FLUX.1[dev] model from the incredible team at Black Forest Lab.

It’s the highest ranked open-weights model at the Artificial Analysis text-to-image leaderboard.

With over 8,500 likes, it’s also the most popular model on Hugging Face.

However, due to its 12B parameters, generating a single high-resolution image can take up to 30s on modern hardware - too slow for many applications. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce inference time. In this post, we compare three such approaches: torch.compile, TensorRT, and our own Pruna optimization engine. The summary of this comparison is presented in the table below.
Yeah that was a big mistake.
> somehow log & associate each decrypted IP packet against the users public key.

Mullvad only needs to associate each decrypted IP packet against an assertion that the packet was paid for. I assume each Obscura node would have a public key, but not associated with a user.

They notably offer this service for Tailscale (as an add-on) and I imagine that it works similarly (on the backend)

In statistical mechanics, fixing the average weight has significance, since the average weight i.e. average energy determines the total energy of a large collection of identical systems, and hence is macroscopically observable.

But in machine learning, it has no significance at all. In particular, to fix the average weight, you need to vary the temperature depending on the individual weights, but machine learning practicioners typically fix the temperature instead, so that the average weight varies wildly.

So softmax weights (logits) are just one particular way to parameterize a categorical distribution, and there's nothing precluding another parameterization from working just as well or better.
True regarding hardware console sales, and playground arguments.

However the hard truth many XBox console owners are having problems to accept is that XBox Platform end move is to become Netflix for games via Game pass, and being a 3rd party publisher everywhere.

"By examining past versions of the contract listed on the Federal Procurement Data System, The Upshot determined that the federal award, approved in September 2022, had initially listed a total value of $8 billion. But on Jan. 22 this year, that figure was updated to $8 million...

It's possible that DOGE or someone else in the Trump administration can claim credit for fixing the error in the contracting database, given that the value was downgraded to $8 million two days after President Trump took office. "

> ToM is about being able to model the internal beliefs/desires etc of another person as being entirely distinct from yours.

In that sentence you are implying that you have the "ability to model ... another". An LLM cannot do that, it can't have an internal model that is consistent beyond its conversational scope. Its not meant to. Its a statistics guesser, its probabilistic, holds no model, and its anthropomorphised by our brains because the output is incredibly realistic not because it actually has that ability

The ability to mimic the replies of someone with that ability, is the same of Mary being able to describe all the qualities of Red. She still cannot see red, despite her ability to pass any question in relation to its characteristics.

> I don't think we have any strong evidence on whether LLMs have world-models one way or another

They simply cannot by their architecture. Its a statistical language sampler, anything beyond the scope of that fails. Local coherance is why they pick the next right token not because they can actually model anything.

> I think those are functionally the same sentence

Functionally and literally are not the same thing though. Its why we can run studies as to why some people might say Bob and Alice (putting the man first) or Alice and Bob (alphabetical naming) and what human societies and biases affect the order we put them on.

You could not run that study on an LLM because you will find that statistically speaking the ordering will be almost identical to the training data. If the training data overwhelmingly puts male names first or whether the training data orders list alphabetically you will see that reproduced on the output of the llm because Bob and Alice are not people, they are statistical probably letters in order.

LLM seem to trigger borderline mysticism in people who are otherwise insanely smart, but the kind of "we cant know its internal mind" sounds like reading tea leaves, or horoscopes by people with enough Phds to have their number retired on their university like Michael Jordan.

That's what I find the most worrying, Trump repeating the exact same lies as come out of Putin's agitprop. I used to think it was unlikely that Putin affected the US election results, now it seems like Trump is trying to pay back a debt.
Thanks! I've always been a surfer, but split my time with other activities. Post-accident everyone thinks I'm scared of getting back on the bike — maybe a bit? — but genuinely my first thought post-crash was how long I'd be out of the water. It was a clarification of what I truly enjoyed, and an excuse to double down on being in the water.

I'm now doing anything and everything to get in the sea and improve my surfing. Lengths at the pool for strength and endurance, free diving (and spearfishing) to reduce the anxiety of those big hold-downs. It's been liberating choosing just one sport to be good at.
Honestly when DOGE was first announced, I thought it will be a tiny department that does almost nothing and produces recommendations and PDFs that nobody reads. I didn't expect this.

This would probably create resiliency for egg supply, but given that a source of bird flu is wild birds and transfer to and from humans would increase mutations wouldn't it likely increase probability of more bird flu and more human cases?
I feel like this is just a totally stupid question.

The brain has inputs, internal processing, and outputs. The conscious experience happens within the internal processing.

If you make a second copy, then that second copy will also have conscious experience, but it won't share any inputs or outputs or internal state with the first copy.

If you were to duplicate your computer, would the second computer share a filesystem with the first one? No. It would have a copy of a snapshot-in-time of the first computer's filesystem, but henceforth they are different computers, each with their own internal state.

You could argue that there are ways to do it which make it unclear which is the "original" computer and which is the "copy". That's fine, that doesn't matter. They both have the same history up to the branching point, and then they diverge. I don't see the problem.

When I have seen time estimates, everyone is referring to Mosca's Theorem. This is the idea that "store now, decrypt later", combined with the estimated time until a working quantum cryptanalysis is feasible, and a finite transition time for existing crypto standards and technologies (think update times for long-living tokens like ID cards with certificates) makes the available delay until a change must start quite short.
I don't think the probabilistic prediction is a problem. The problem with current LLM is that they are limited to doing "System 1" thinking, only giving you a fast instinctive response to a question. While that works great for a lot of small problems, it completely falls apart on any larger task that requires multiple steps or backtracking. "System 2" thinking is completely missing as is the ability to just self-iterate on their own output.

Reasoning models are trying to address that now, but monologueing in token-space still feels more like a hack than a real solution, but it does improve their performance a good bit nonetheless.

In practical terms all this means is that current LLMs still need a hell of a lot of hand holding and fail at anything more complex, even if their "System 1" thinking is good enough for the task (e.g. they can write Tetris in 30sec no problem, but they can't write SuperMarioBros at all, since that has numerous levels that would blow the context window size).
Ah, this is a great example of Goodhart's Law in action - "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

You choose to simplify how to integrate the modem into the system while digging deeper into how tethering happens.

Why doesn't having another separate subsystem running it's own OS managing the cell connection also have network switching implications (something deciding the connection is now the primary one, just like it does for tethering), security issues (it's a know attack vector on phones as well), power management issues etc ?

The iPhone 3G for instance was a piece of crap network connection wise, it would drop calls, lose signal, memory leak at the border of the two systems etc. Networking with a cell subsystem isn't trivial.
