Yep, that's also a huge issue with LLMs in production. Our product has some automatic detection of jailbreak attempts so that you can see when people are trying to jailbreak & prompt inject, but hallucinations are the biggest unsolved problem imo.
I have 123 signal contacts. I have a total of 504 contacts in my phone book, many of which don't have phone numbers attached to them.

I would say it is pretty popular, at least in my social circle.
Oh, interesting! I'll have to check into what the state of Linux on these are.
I've seen a capable combinator lib written in about 500 lines of Rust. Probably could be shorter if minimal loc were a goal. The one I use is called "nom", it's very general and has a lot of built in functionality and options, so it's much larger than 500 lines to be sure.
I would like to believe(perhaps naively) that the segment of population which genuinely believes in doing away with democracy is pretty small.

However, in case such an event comes to pass, what is far more important is the segment which actively opposes such a power grab. Authoritarians reply on the passiveness of the majority coupled with a small but very vocal and rabid fan base.

It's quite possible that a slow and gradual slide in that direction is underway, but the minute even a small faction of people actively oppose that, strongmen tend to find the limits of their power pretty quickly and mostly in ways that are pretty detrimental to their health.

The civil rights movement is a pretty good example of the power of a small set of people being enough to have critical mass.
which is totally out of touch with the reality of making use of the extra qubits they just slapped on the chip to get a high number
Maybe it's to help the EU and China catch up /s
What difference does that make? More people being openly malicious doesn't make them right.
This is neat. I really want to see one of these that runs completely local with one of the smaller parameter DeepSeek models.

It feels like you’ve missed the sentiment here… not everything need be practical.
its far easier to control your network than it is to control your devices on that network - far too many closed source devices nowadays, and it’s extremely difficult to avoid all of them
They are comparable in that they are both an increasing exercise of power wrt what had been previously done.

I concur with GP; you are arriving at the conclusion through your own logic but somehow not seeing the conclusion. See intermerda's point below.

I left China two decades ago, believing America held itself to higher moral standards. But now, I’m watching it turn into another China—and the reality is a slap in the face.
Does any law or executive order say "unless invalidated by a court"? Isn't that kind of a given?
Exactly. It's like saying "If she hadn't fought back, it wouldn't have hurt so much".

No, I just wanted to put everything in the title so it didn't sound like clickbait. I laid out my experience with Pi-hole and why I chose a different service instead
If it's not an articular injury and they fix all the bones, you can more or less walk on these immediately. I've read about protocols like two weeks, and even immediately (albeit that has issues with wound healing)

None of the companies that proposed this concept have managed to demonstrate strong marketplace viability. A lot of discovery science remains extremely manual, artisinal, and vehemently opposed to automation.
No, it's not. It's a toll on entering the area period, whether from highway or from 60th street. You can still fully use the highway, including getting around the area in question. I'm not even from NYC and it took all of two minutes to identify how the congestion relief zone works, who it applies to and who it does not.

You can make the argument that it's unfair or a regressive tax. But that is not an argument for the federal government to make or interfere with, that is local policy. Especially not when clearly using federal overreach as a bludgeon to force them to comply.
So after you're banned from Bluesky you create another account on a different server and hope the admins of your original server, which still hosts all the people you want to follow, don't block your new account from interacting with their server?

You said it was different from Mastodon, but how is this different from Mastodon?
It's past time to move beyond LSP. However I'm glad to see more language servers because that means there will be more who will want to improve the situation.

Edit: they're right with me on this. From the README: "It is built on a Server-Client architecture with a transport-agnostic design." Way to go!
> no satisfactory rust package

I'm seeing this delay lots of features in rust projects.

For example helix the text editor hasn't gotten file watching (for the purposes of updating after external edits) for years now because of apparent problems with the file watching library in rust.
> why are phones getting larger as battery and semiconductor tech continues to improve?

I don't doubt that the average phone has grown in size, the base iPhone has stayed roughly the same size for 7 years at this point. The 16 is only 0.15"x0.03"x0.01" larger than the iPhone X from 2017 and the base iPhone peaked in height and width all the way back in 2019 with the iPhone 11.

I think the simple answer is that they've pretty much found the sweet spot and even if there are people out there who want a smaller phone, most of them would still rather have the same size phone with more capability.
In case you think this is just showboating -- it isn't.

The things he is saying and doing are not a joke, and should not be treated as one. The facade of "he's just messing around to make the left angry" is false and thin. He is telling you exactly what he aspires to be. Or, more accurately, he is attempting to assert that he already is one.

If you believe in the ideals that America was founded upon, you should be angry. Fascism is here, and it's up to us to resist it. Please.

I thought the same thing. I am wondering if custom silicon can bring the cost even lower? I am reminded of when they used FPGA's to mine crypto then they went to ASICs and the performance was dramatically better.

Absolutely not.

But you can't wear shoes, or buy clothing either. Everything I wear was literally made by people being exploited.

Everything I eat, was picked or produced by people being exploited .

To function in any way under capitalism is to do so unethically. Because capitalism demands it.

Llms are effectively a giant hodgepodge of stolen data, commodified. There's no way around it .

However, if LLMS help doctors cure diseases, people learn math, and a variety of other good things, it becomes unethical to not use them .

It's a paradox. And a contradiction, all in one. I don't think software engineers who outright refuse to use LLMS will have jobs much longer. Even if it's just printing out some boilerplate code, it's just where the industry's heading.
Or this opened opportunity for dictator to arise.

I wonder which of these two commonly happened in the past.
It's less of a robust meal planner. It's meant to get the ingredients from an online recipe into your Kroger/Safeway/etc cart for pickup. We use it to find 4-5 meals we want to cook for the week and it takes about 15 minutes instead of an hour.
I think it's because C devs often think that they never make a mistake, so they see rust bringing on value.

I had an argument about rust with a freebsd developer that had the same "I never make a mistake" attitude. I've made a PR to his project that fixes bugs that weren't possible in rust to being with. Not out of petty, but because his library was crashing my application. In fact, he tried to blame my rust wrapper for it when I raised an issue.
I broadly agree, though then the argument would be "well the best CEOs would go to for-profit places", and we might get worse CEOs leading the non-profits; if we had the non-profit pay for-profit wages, then they might be more appealing to more talented people.

I'm not sure I actually agree with this argument, to be clear. I don't even know that I think the CEO does all that much; Elon Musk is the CEO of like three or four companies while also leading a government agency, indicating to me that "CEO" is not a difficult job, so I don't know that we necessarily need "the best" CEO anyway.

I'm sure other factors such as sudden illness and migrateable tickets make a sizeable chunk too.
>And you think he's not competent enough to audit a payment system?

No, I do not trust even the best engineers to do a government wide audit in the course of weeks. The audit itself would take months alone before making any suggestions on budget.

And it's unnecessary because I guess know one knows that GOA exists already for that.

> But these are delusional takes.

If you're early in your career, I hope you look back 5, 10 years from now and realize how insane everything you said is. You're comparing a private business releasing a product to auditing one of the largest countries in earth worth 10s of trillions.
I love how this is basically the complete opposite of the old protocol lmfao.

Makes sense to me, though :D
That's nothing like the current situation. Those claims were based on stupid conspiracy theories with no supporting evidence. Everyone can see what this administration is saying and doing. Trump is telling us that he doesn't respect laws or democracy, and is following that up with action.
A laptop that I had would assert PROCHOT if it didn't like the power supply you plugged into it. It actually took an embarrassing amount of time for me to notice that this is what was causing Slack to be inexplicably slower at my desk than when I was out working in a common area in the building.
This is, almost verbatim, my exact same experience. Used pi-hole as an excuse to get a Raspberry Pi. Used it for a long time but got tired of troubleshooting. Discovered NextDNS (from this site), and have been a happy customer since. NextDNS has not been perfect (it looks like they abandoned their app(s)), but it has the added benefit of working outside of my home network.
Have to say I've never had a single issue with pihole unlike the OP. It's literally been "install and forget" - not a single outage in maybe 3 years of use. When I use the Internet elsewhere I see what a good job it does when I'm at home...
That is a fair enough point. Most likely the way it is got this way to do with it's history and perhaps its marketing or specifically it's anti-marketing by the communists/socialists. A free market sounds less threatening so they do not use that term.
My router supports DNS blocklists and VPN too.
Every professor in a scientific field that I know is telling me that their university leadership is preparing for indefinite hiring freezes and massive cost cutting in preparation for huge slashes in funding from these institutions.
but you can't delete people? That's actually the big problem that need to be addressed imo. It happen now (or later) with llm, but in the past it have been a problem with industrialization (big unemployment of workers) and then globalization (unemployment of more local workers).

If it's not addreased correctly, llm won't be a progress for humanity.

But if you want to compare it "technically", maybe it's better to look at computer usage now vs with llm maybe (how many google request, sim failed, screen on etc.)
What on earth gave you the idea this administration will be anything like a previous one? I don’t think we can assume the rules will just stay the same.
how big were the image files in terms of size/resolution that go you the level of accuracy you needed with Claude?

> That was the second moment I thought, uh, nope. This is literally repeating all the mistakes we made as a company. This is not a protocol that’s truly decentralized. It’s another app. It’s another app that’s just kind of following in Twitter’s footsteps, but for a different part of the population.

Thought an update on where we're at post acquistion of SDF would be interesting to this group!
Right. I didn’t started digging into it until I realized the application was clearly sluggish in certain scenarios. As I am doing this for fun I am going to see what kind of speed up I get in rust for this.
What surgical treatment do you expect to improve your outcome?
You referring back to only Athens when we have had several centuries of political history and progress, is embarrassing.

The Constitution of the USA was especially a model of its kind. Until we realized its implementation went lacking from true believers, for what we can witness since January 20th.

Check also the constitutions of modern democracies throughout the world.

Something that depends only on the rule of the majority, without constitutional guarantees of the respect of the law, without a self-defense system against abuse of power is a relic of the past prototype democracies.
No, that’s not what I’m saying. That seems of questionable value. Unless some crazy tail event happens that makes it valuable.

The benefit to humanity is the technological advancement.
This is the general problem with nearly all of this era of generative AI and why the public dislike it so much.

It is trained on human prose; human prose is primarily a representation of ideas; it synthesizes ideas.

There are very few uses for a machine to create ideas. We have a wealth of ideas and people enjoy coming up with ideas. It’s a solution built for a problem that does not exist.

Hetzner's reliable... until they aren't.

Since they don't do any sort of monitoring on their bare metal servers at all, at least insofar as I can tell having been a customer of theirs for ten years, you don't know there's as problem until there's a problem, or unless you've got your own monitoring solution in place.
That’s an unrelated issue.
I think he's saying that eating beef in particular is a tremendous amount of CO2 emissions (comparable to driving). Eating other meats has a much lower impact. Not eating meat is even much lower.

So one question: No one probably benefits much from beef (vs, say, chicken). So if I were to recast the parent: If you're concerned about energy usage from LLMs, you'll have a larger impact if you stop eating beef (with little impact to your health).
Is there still some structural Source underlying the cash cow of CS2?

It's different, I don't think they're claiming that it's directly equivalent, but they were responding to the claim that "7 million isn't significant in the grand scheme of things", and they're arguing that "just because it might not be a significant number doesn't necessarily mean we just let it slide".

It's about 70 million as of the last count in November.
So many problems here:

- You can maintain a strategic capability without destroying your economy along the way. See for example the heavy press program. A strategic capability, very specific, hard to rebuild. You could certainly apply that to some level of local steel production (which does exist last I looked) - the way US navy ship-building competence is carefully maintained for example. You don't have to inflict that cost on most of the steel used for, say, building and bridges construction.

- You can want to run your entire economy on a "self-contained" basis but that goes against all the work that has been done for now decades in the name of economic efficiency. Such an idea will cost you dearly in the final output: standard of living. (For a small country it would be hopeless but both China and the US are large enough that they could aim for complete know-how.)

- Everyone is free to compete with anything. And yes, China is large enough that it can try and be effective at everything. Even that, does not negate the benefits of trade.

- (The US competitive on civilian vehicles?? Doesn't matter, this is a detail at this stage.)

- I don't expect very much of the US military vehicle production - in final assembly or in subsystems - comes from China. What little there is, you could import from Europe.

- The US economy "floating on military strength"??
Do you think that's because of the hardware you're running it on? Do you actually use a Raspberry Pi or something more resilient?
Some of the language does sound like they're pitching a gizmo on TV, to separate retirees from their money. But still within the range of how genuine people sound enthusiastic when they've found a lifehack.
I would also read it from another perspective. Attackers, especially at the level of nation states, will always try to get as many avenues for achieving their goals as possible.

If you have compromised a service, it would be in your interest to make it more popular (assuming you think you are the only one in possession of it).

If you cannot, you don't give up; you just go back to the drawing board (https://xkcd.com/538/). Maybe I don't need to break Signal if I can just rely on phishing or scare tactics to get what I want.

Ok this is way too long to read in one sitting, but it looks incredible? I've been looking for resources like this for """real""" model training at scale. The authors have worked on BLOOM (the first >100B parameter model), starcoder and fineweb so they actually know this space.

I wish it were not a single giant webpage, but I guess I can deal with that.
I don't have much stake in stopping AI usage vs other ways to reduce emissions, but I watched the video. Sasha did a different paper than the one that article refers to. She doesn't really dispute her numbers, she just says it depends on a lot of factors. She does explicitly say it's a non-negligible amount of water, and in other interviews she asks for transparency from closed source AI providers.

As for the article, it makes a lot of assumptions. At one point they say speed is a marker of energy usage? I think they meant two models with the same speeds but different costs are a good measure for energy usage, but they hadn't mentioned cost up until this point. So this is an odd paragraph.

> GPT-3.5 is widely estimated to be in the ~20B parameter range. GPT-4o is similar in speed to GPT-3.5, which I think is a fair proxy for total power usage (i.e. time spent in GPUs). That’s another 10x improvement right out of the gate.

Regardless, I would disagree.

- Different hardware will use different amounts of energy for the same speed. We don't know anything about the hardware our sessions are run on except what they have told us.
- Just because the cost is cheaper doesn't mean it uses less energy. There's reason to think they are offering a deal to pull users in and burning cash on energy, though I'd agree it's not the full 10x.[1]

The culture as an aspirational goal is a good thing. It's a fantastic vision of the future. So I'm not sure why you're using it as a similar comparison to neuromancer.
