Bias wrt ordering is a great point. What we consider structured information in this benchmark is irrespective of how its presentation (Order, format etc), it should be directly comparable. So the benchmark does that it into account.

Example is if you are only converting lets say an invoice into markdown, you can introduce bias wrt ordering etc. But if the task is to find out invoice number, total amount, number of line items with headers like price, amount, description, in that case you can compare two outputs without a lot of bias. Eg even if columns are interchanged, you will still get the same metric.

I'll probably end up adding it myself if you don't want to, because it's actually something I wanted to include originally but forgot to.

This is definitely a huge issue with the current implementation of DMA compliance. Apple's mandatory DRM encryption scheme as part of the notarization process doesn't just block reproducible builds and the improved security that those offer, but also means that third party app stores aren't capable of auditing the apps they offer in any way. If Apple lets something slip through their notarization review (which is not an impossibility, since it's happened on the App Store before), then the third party store carrying that app will be unfairly blamed for the incident.
He's right but at the same time wrong. Current AI methods are essentially scaled up methods that we learned decades ago.

These long horizon (agi) problems have been there since the very beginning. We have never had a solution to them. RL assumes we know the future which is a poor proxy. These energy based methods fundamentally do very little that an RNN didn't do long ago.

I worked on higher dimensionality methods which is a very different angle. My take is that it's about the way we scale dependencies between connections. The human brain makes and breaks a massive amount of nueron connections daily. Scaling the dimensionality would imply that a single connection could be scalled to encompass significantly more "thoughts" over time.

Additionally the true to solution to these problems are likely to be solved by a kid with a laptop as much as an top researcher. You find the solution to CL on a small AI model (mnist) you solve it at all scales.

I’m not sure where you’re pulling “backdoored” from, but if Apple markets their devices as private then it seems reasonable that end users expect a private device.
I believe, but don't know for sure, that classic iGPUs still behaved like discrete PCI devices under the hood, and accessed RAM using DMA over PCI(e), which is slower than the RAM is capable of, and also adds some overhead. Whereas, modern unified memory approaches have a direct high-bandwidth connection between RAM and the GPU, which may be shared with the CPU, bypassing PCI entirely and accessing the memory at its full speed.
100%. I think most people should probably transition their thinking from using smart TV apps being an obvious or reasonable thing to do, to viewing them like the ads you sometimes find in the box when you buy something. They’re basically just ads for streaming services, and they’re mainly there to try to trick you into connecting the TV to the Internet so that it can gather data for them.

In the event that one wants the app functionality, they’ll always be better off with a streaming stick. Even in respectable brands of TVs like Sony, the SOC’s are weaker than what you find in that $40 “Chromecast with Google TV.” so they’re pretty horrible to use even while they are current and supported.

Thanks for writing this so clearly... I hear wrong/misguided arguments like we see hear every day from friends, colleagues, "experts in the media" etc.

It's strange because just a moment of thinking will show that such ideas are wrong or paint a clearly incomplete picture. And there's plenty of analogies to the dangers of such reductionism. It should be obviously wrong to anyone who has at least tried ChatGPT.

My only explanation is that a denial mechanism must be at play. It simply feels more comfortable to diminish LLM capabilities and/or feel that you understand them from reading a Medium article on transformer-network, than to consider the consequences in terms of the inner black-box nature.
There should be a link to the society website (https://openprivacy.ca/) on the Cwtch site, but I can see that there isn't - we will get that fixed.

Open Privacy Research Society is a Canadian non profit society, founded in 2018, you can find details of our members and operating structure on our website. Most of our funds come from individual donations.

Cwtch started as an extension to the Ricochet Tor messenger which I also contributed back in 2014/2015. Our main goal behind Cwtch was to establish that metadata resistant / p2p communication could be done in a similar form factor to traditional server based / non-metadata private protocols like Signal i.e. to try and push the privacy properties that people can wield beyond end to end encryption, in a way that is still usable.

Wouldn't an additional advantage of series hybrids be that the engine can be tuned to operate solely in it's most efficient RPM band, since it just charging the battery and doesn't need to deal with changing speeds? This can (according to some very cursory googling), result in efficiency gains of 20-30% relative to the least efficient RPMs. This should at least partially offset some of the size and weight considerations, since you don't need to size the engine for it's energy output in less efficient speeds. This seems like it would be most important in stop-and-go conditions where the engine is spending considerable time at less efficient speeds, such as in a bus.
If tariffs work at all (which is doubtful), they're supposed to be part of an overarching plan with a long-term strategy in coordination with industry so that they can actually invest in creating new manufacturing. It certainly isn't going to work when tariffs are going on-off-on-off-25%-200%-10%-off-on-sometimes-off-on again. How in the world is _anyone_, American or otherwise, supposed to plan around this?

You may be interested in the history of failed orthographic reforms in English; the Simplified Spelling Board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplified_Spelling_Board had significant popular support, especially among socialists and progressives, but ultimately failed, the only remnant being the "NO THRU TRAFFIC" signs seen in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:English-language_spel... lists a couple of dozen people historically prominent. But nobody in English has ever had the level of political power that the RAE had in even 01815, much less 01726, so it's never happened.

I saw this happen a few times where I used to work. The one instance that I remember was an older pensioner and a Filipina woman in her 30s. She met him in our city and eventually convinced him to move back to the Philippines with her. He used his pension to build her family a house for them all to live in. Once the house was finished, they locked him out of it and threatened to call the police if he didn't leave. This guy was in a wheelchair and didn't know how to read. What struck me was how nice he was - he wasn't at all bitter when he was describing what happened, and was extremely polite to everyone in the office.

I guess they look for people like that.

This is the correct way of thinking about it. The tariffs aren't meant to drive economic growth, they are meant to tank the economy and drive a wedge between the US and allies. The ultimate goal is to start a recession and an extra bonus goal would be to get US army bases in Europe shut down. That would make Putin extra happy.
They don’t really want to collect tariff $. They want to force production in the US, which the article says is what they are going to do. That’s not a window being jumped through, that’s the intent. Or am I missing something here?

At least for Toyota hybrids, the intuition is that the traditional ICE transmission system is replaced by what Toyota calls a "power split device" which continuously feeds and balances the electric and combustion power sources. This power split device uses a simpler gearing system (enabled by the high torque electric motors) and appears to be mechanically simpler and more reliable than traditional transmission systems (which probably wear out quicker than the engine in most ICEs).

You keep using the words "favorite president", yet the quote you're picking at isn't concerned with Zuckerberg's favorite president. The quote says "America's best president and 'it's not even close'."

That is a very different thing than "favorite president" - that's someone who believes they're being objective, that there's no arguments to be made about what others should see as a simple fact.
Which means, people don't care. Is this a sign of a cultural shift to the idea that sometimes things don't work and that's fine?
> What the hell is the talk of "human worth" supposed to even mean. If you can't even feed yourself, you're a fucking joke. Work is just doing something for someone else they like. What is the argument here. "I should be free to be completely parasitic and useless, anything less is tyranny."

So we should round up and discard all of the disabled, sick, elderly and children? Purposefully missing your point for fun - I know you don't believe that, right?

IMO, the conclusion you quoted isn't arguing that people shouldn't work at all. It's arguing about the very definition of "work" in capitalism. Why are certain things which take a great deal of time and effort not considered work? Why are some types of work not valued when they clearly provide value? Of course the answer is the recipient of the value needs to have money. If they don't have money, they are immoral for not having money and unworthy of receiving the value.

Using your definition:

> Work is just doing something for someone else they like.

Let's rewrite it to be more accurate:

> Work is just doing something for someone else <who has money> they like.

100%. I would say, even on the UI/UX side - Microsoft(!) has done a way better job on Edge (even though it's Chromium), with lots of new features on tab grouping, split screen browsing, note taking, syncing, and app integrations. Love it or hate it, at least they are doing some new features.
Even if they were as you say, a David and Goliath framing is 100% appropriate given the relative assets and market power of Meta and Bluesky.
Perfect timing for Apple and Google to promote their on-device TPU/NPU hardware and speech models..
I'm sure latency matters a lot as well.

The users of our apps are pretty tolerant of 5 to 10 minute request times for some of our pages, which means we've been able to get away with just a few servers for several TBs of data stored and served. (100+mb responses are not unusual for us).

If we had to rethink and redesign the system to cut down those times, we'd need a lot more databases and a much cleverer storage strategy than we currently have.

While I'm sure response time for Reddit is really important, I could imagine that an IOT serving system needs almost nothing in to hit something like a 10 to 20 second response time for 5k devices.

Most people use libraries to read and write the files, and judge them pretty much entirely by popularity.

A very popular file format pretty much defines the semantics and feature set for that category in everyone's mind, and if you build around those features, then you can probably expect good compatibility.

Nobody thinks about the actual on disk data layout, they think about standardization and semantics.

I rather like PDF, although it doesn't seem to be well suited for 500MB scans of old books and the like, they really seem to bog down on older mobile devices.

Do you have actual knowledge of their motives? Or is this speculation, confidently stated as fact?

Another possible motive, mentioned in the the paragraph you quote, is that the oil companies see an energy transition coming and are trying to get aboard the hydrogen train to diversify their future revenue sources. And that sounds like a reasonable motive; the sort of thing that people who don't see themselves as evil villains – i.e. the supermajority of people – could embrace.

> words spoken by 110 billion people who ever lived, assuming 1B estimated words per human during their lifetime..comes out to 10 million times the size of GPT-4's training set

This assumption is slightly wrong direction, because not exist human who could consume much more than about 1B words during their lifetime. So humanity could not gain enhancement from just multiply words of one human by 100 billion. I think, correct estimation could be 1B words multiply by 100.

I think, current AI already achieved size need to become AGI, but to finish, probably need to change structure (but I'm not sure about this), and also need some additional multidimensional dataset, not just texts.

The advantage of artificial intelligence doesnt even need to be energy efficiency. We are pretty good at generating energy, if we had human level AI even if it used an order of magnitude more energy that humans use that would likely still be cheaper than a human.
