I feel like success of LLM's have been combination of multiple factors coming together favourably:
1) Hardware becoming cheap enough to train models beyond a size where we could see emergent properties. Which is going to become cheaper and cheaper.
2) Model architecture which can in computationally less expensive manner being able to look at all inputs at the same time. CNN's, RNN's all succeded at smaller scale becuase they added inductive bias in architecture favourable to the input modality, but also became less generic. Attention is simpler in computation to scale it and also has lower inductive bias.
3) Unsupervised text on internet being source of data which requires light pre-processing hence almost no efforts wrt annotations etc reaching scale wrt scaling laws corrosponding to large size models. Also text data being diverse enough to be generic to encompass variety of topics, thoughts vs imagenet etc which is highly specific and costly to produce.

Assuming that text only models will hit a bottleneck, then to have next generation models, in addition to a new architecture, we also have to find rich dataset which is even more generic and much richer in modalities and the architecture being able to natively ingest it?

However something that is not predictible is how well the emergent properties can scale with model size further. Maybe few more unlocks like model being able to retain information well in spite of really large context length, ability to SFT on super complex reasoning tasks without disrupting weights enough to loose unsupervised learning might take us much further?
The parent commenter to you never claimed that electric cars were already viable or mass market, I would say the implication is that it was very obvious to the car industry at the time that EVs would be viable and even affordable extremely soon.

The Nissan Leaf was only 7 years away in 2003. In automotive technology terms that's like a single generation's worth of refresh for a typical vehicle. The Chevy Volt also launched the same year as the first mass-market plug-in hybrid.

As an example, the current 2025 Honda Odyssey is essentially the same car that began deliveries in 2017 with only minor changes.

So really what we are talking about here is an auto industry that knew that EVs were going to hit the market, like, really soon. Nissan sold over 100,000 Leafs between 2010 and 2019 which is pretty amazing for a first generation mass market new drivetrain product.
The only sense in which "electricity" could be said to be fluid is in its definition. There's no such physical quantity, it's just a vague term for a variety of phenomena.
Adding more money to government-run K–12 education can sometimes work against meaningful reform. Increased funding typically grows the existing system: hiring more staff, expanding departments, and creating additional layers of bureaucracy.

More people come to rely on the status quo for their livelihood, which can reduce their willingness to support or even consider transformative changes.

I’m not an expert but it’s incredible with guitars as well - the craftsmanship when comparing something off an assembly line versus a true luthier crafted instrument. There are visual clues easy to spot like the tuning pegs, but upon closer inspection of the fretboards the material used for inlays is an indication, and then the intricacy of fitment. With something like an acoustic guitar - Pimentel versus an off the rack Breedlove, the sound will be staggeringly different and you’ll understand where the extra $9,000 came from.

There are of course forgeries in music instruments of high value - violins - and the ugly reality that Chibsons exist and are pieces of shit because they’re produced by a culture with serious fucking problems relating to creativity and freedom of expression and individuality.

OmniAI: A unified Ruby API for integrating with AI providers
I've always been wondering if anyone is working on using nerve impulses. My first thought when transformers came around was if they could be used for prosthetics, but I've been too lazy to do the research to find anybody working on anything like that, or to experiment myself with it.
This is fun, but if you reduce the tension and click a lot on it, it gets stuck with almost all the points at the top of the screen except one. Also weirdly in Firefox android it clicks a lot, not on chrome.
Plenty of this in Europe. In my country there's less km of rail now than there was in 1910.
Thanks for articulating this so well. I'm a musician and music/CS phd student, and as a jazz improvisor of advanced skill (30+ years), I'm accutely aware that there are significant areas of intelligence for which linguistic thinking is not only not good enough, but something to be avoided as much as one can (which is bloody hard sometimes). I have found it so frustrating, but hard to figure out how to counter, that the current LLM zeitgeist seems to hinge on a belief that linguistic intelligence is both necessary and sufficient for AGI.
You can do this with vanilla Firefox using policies.json[1]. Check out `DisableAppUpdate` attribute.

If you're using Firefox from nixpkgs this is already disabled by default[2].

"The adversary" is standard terminology in analyzing cryptographic security.

It would be interesting to figure out who introduced it. I looked briefly on Google Scholar, and I see it's used in the modern sense as early as Yao (1982), but it might have been used much earlier. It doesn't appear in the Diffie-Hellman (1976) or RSA (1977) papers.

Now this would be a messaging protocol I could get behind. Phone networks could even provide a phone number registry for people that insist on using that for whatever reason.

But there's absolutely no chance it'll happen – neither the telecommunications industry nor Google have any interest in making federation for others than "trusted partners" possible.

SMS is already a goldmine for carriers (thanks to the widespread use of SMS for OTPs and authentication), so why not make the next logical step and replace email for as many remaining B2C use cases as possible and collect some rent there as well?
I agree to a great extent, especially regarding copies. Why don't people just have top-notch copies of masterpieces made for their walls? Status? You look cheap? (Possibly, the undistinguishable works in the article are of rare quality, and others are missing what makes the masterpieces special.)

But to the degree art is an individual's self-expression, then the fake is what you want. It's not giving you insight into and empathy with a person. You might as well be in love with an AI.
It was only recently removed in Java and there was a related concept (adopted from OSGi) designed to only export certain symbols -- not for security but for managing the surface area that a library vendor had to support

But I mentioned both of those things because [IMHO] they both fell prey to the same "humanity bug": specifying permissions for anything (source code, cloud security, databases, Kubernetes, ...) is a lot of trial and error, whereas {Effect: Allow, Action: ["*:*"]} always works and so they just drop a "TODO: tighten permissions" and go on to the next Jira

No, they are officially being deported for being a foreign policy problem without being accused of any crime.

I think it's the very nice-looking and clean high-level API that should be a pleasure to use (when it fits the job, of course).

I'm pretty sure this API semantics (instance builder to configure, and then it's ask/paint/embed with language-native way to handle streaming and declarative tools) would look beautiful and easy to use in many other languages, e.g. I can imagine a similar API - save, of course, for the Rails stuff - in Python, C# or Erlang. While this level of API may be not perfectly sufficient for all possible LLM use cases, it should certainly speed up development time when this level of API is all that's possible needed.
The lines are very expensive to install and maintain. You could just buy double or triple the number of “silly” EV buses and be way ahead.

Could there be a better steward for Chrome in theory? Sure. My guess is that in practice the successor would be worse or about the same since it is all about money in the end.
https://apnews.com/article/chicago-electric-bus-cold-weather...

Good article on this topic.

It's a lot of infrastructure investment but the per-mile running costs are so much lower that it should eventually pay off, especially as buses get cheaper when volume ramps up.

As someone who has witnessed EV buses in person, I think the local pollution and to a lesser extent noise benefits are really great for cities that have or want to move more toward human-friendly streetscapes. They just eliminate so much bus engine stench that just can't be good for breathing in.

It also seems to me that they have to be a lot more reliable. I have seen so many broken down buses with the engine compartment open on the side of the road in my lifetime.
Well either way it's an appropriate name, lol!
Ah ok strange. It is a Samsung phone though. Samsung has been forcing a Google login in more and more places unfortunately. I think they made some deal with them about the AI features. Just like they now promote OneDrive instead of their own cloud. Maybe that's why or I didn't understand the popup.

I don't really want it if I can't access my messages online anyway. The whole reason I love telegram and WhatsApp is that I don't need my phone when I'm on the computer (which is 90% of the time). But a Google account is out of the question.

Right now I even bridge WhatsApp and Telegram through matrix because I don't trust those either, though I don't think I trust any company less than Google. But I don't know if you can do that for RCS.

But tbh I'm not looking for any other chat app unless it's federated and I can run my own server. RCS is technically federated but limited to a group of big companies so that's pretty useless to me.

I think I'll just block it just like I do SMS. I turn off all the notifications for the relevant apps.

The project I worked on today is an alternative installer and environment manager for Python packages. I spent hours on 25 total lines of code, but the lion's share of that "coding" time was not spent actually editing the code. Rather, I was busy with coming up with alternative designs in my head, weighing their pros and cons, answering questions for myself about Bash that I didn't even know how to ask, testing out other ideas and realizing that they wouldn't work because of requirements I didn't know I had... the list goes on.

The corresponding commit message was 46 neatly wrapped lines, not counting blanks or the commit header, including a bunch of notes that will probably eventually make their way into documentation.

I didn't try to involve AI in this, and I strongly suspect it wouldn't help. Coming up with the ideas and putting them in precise language isn't really any easier for me than actually writing the code. While writing it, lots of things didn't work the first time, but I never felt "stuck".
> Tech companies that hired during the pandemic found out a lot of people who tried online meetings/online work only did it because they had to and stopped as soon as they could and these companies had to lay off staff.

Quite the opposite: Many (US) companies are still figuring out how to get their office employees to actually start coming to physical offices again.

There seem to have been more lasting pandemic-caused changes of habits in the US than in many other countries, which I also find quite surprising. Maybe people were already more tired of dining out and office work there than in the rest of the world, and that's why the changes in behavior are more sticky?

Oh, come on. Are people still using the "stutter" excuse? Go look up a video of him from 2000 or whatever. His stutter sure did get worse!

The story of cognitive decline was pushed because it was true. That's why he basically did no press, and why he used a teleprompter during times no other president would:

When he did speak without one, he regularly said stuff like "they don't want me to talk about that."

I don't disagree that they're both way too old. However, the Trump we have now seems to be basically the same Trump we had in 2016. He rambles about as much as he did then. He could quickly deteriorate though - we'll see.

Not a lawyer, but reading from the 2010 decision that I think your citing the first line is.

"Material support" is logically defined as more than mere statements of support, and supporters of these groups may advocate for or participate in these organizations.

Specifically it's seems as though an organization was working with terrorist groups to provide training on how to seek non violent solutions with global humanitarian bodies.

Seems like for this to be similar it would require the government to show they individual engaged in direct actions to provide aid to Hamas greater than statements/speech to meet the current definition of "material support".

For statements of support of a terrorist organization to be considered "material support" I think it would require a new ruling from SCOTUS

> They sneak in features that are nice, but I simply don't think we'll ever see Mozilla put out something that does anything that really sets Firefox apart.

Firefox 36 and 3.6 were pre-Quantum/Electrolysis. In those days, the XUL addons had an insane amount of control and could do so many things simply not possible nowadays, that if you took advantage of made a browser that looks nothing like modern Firefox.
I don't really disagree with you but at the same time I wouldn't expect any run of the mill employee to know about this sort of conspiracy if it were real.

It is worth noting that the E2EE system they are using (MLS/RFC9420) was only finalised as a standard as of mid 2023 and has had errata from the last few months. They basically added E2EE to RCS more or less as soon as the protocol they are using standardized with IETF.
Ruby has a bunch of tools to interact with LLMs already. Also has had bindings to stuff like Torch and Tensorflow for years.
That's arguably already the reality in the US to some extent. Many people I know don't even carry enough cash to pay for a single meal, unless they know they'll be going to a cash only place.
I am always amazed how people will look the other way when there is a paycheck involved. In many cases, they have constraints (families, mortgages, etc), and sometimes it is just greed. I'd want to think it's the former with most Tesla employees.

But I am sure many people on the margins will move along when the opportunity comes along.
Most recommendations treat SBOM as the “ingredients” and are he build dependencies such as GitHub Actions as the recipe.

However, I think the GitHub SBOM features include GitHub Actions as dependencies, but that is merely a side-effect of their Dependabot heritage.

Systemd has a lot of neat sandboxing features [1] which aren't well known but can be very useful for this. You can get pretty far using systemd-run [2] in a script like this:

#!/bin/sh

uid="$(id -u)"
gid="$(id -g)"
cwd="$(pwd -P)"

sudo systemd-run --system --pty --same-dir --wait --collect --service-type=exec \
--uid="$uid" \
--gid="$gid" \
-p "TemporaryFileSystem=/:ro /tmp" \
-p "BindReadOnlyPaths=-/bin -/sbin -/usr/bin -/usr/sbin -/lib -/lib64 -/usr/lib -/usr/lib64 -/usr/libexec" \
-p "BindPaths=$cwd" \
-p "PrivateNetwork=true" \
-p "PrivateDevices=true" \
-p "PrivateIPC=true" \
-p "RestrictNamespaces=true" \
-p "RestrictSUIDSGID=true" \
-p "CapabilityBoundingSet=" \
"$@"

Which creates a blank filesystem with no network or device access and only bind mount the specified files.

Unfortunately TemporaryFileSystem require running as a system instance of the service manager rather than per-user instance, so that will generally mean running as root (hence sudo). One approach is to create a suid binary that does the same without needing sudo.

You could also use bubblewrap [3] pretty similarly, and may not need to use sudo if unprivileged user namespaces are allowed by your kernel.

I’ve consistently found Aurora MySQL and PG to be slower than everything, including my 12 year old Dell R620s. You can’t beat data locality, and the 4/6 quorum requirement of Aurora combined with the physical distance kills any hope of speed.

It only takes a routine Windows Update to bring those setting back to helpful defaults.

And those updates are helpfully set to download and install by default.
This is CLIP. Here if you would see, the model is pretrained to ingest both images and text. However if you would see the prediction mode, its basically text generation only. None of the multi-modal architectures think of both image and text as first class citizens
what is OpenAI doing other than making deals with companies and doing business?
I just entered your prompt into ChatGPT (4.5):

Prompt:

I'm trying to make a rope, made of only aubergines, not using any twine or string. What kind of knot would you recommend to tie together each aubergine with the next? I'm trying to use up as little of the length of each aubergine as possible.

Response:

Your request doesn't entirely make sense. Aubergines (eggplants) are firm but brittle vegetables; they lack flexibility, elasticity, or tensile strength required to create or sustain knots. Attempting to tie aubergines together directly, without using twine, string, or another flexible medium, isn't feasible. They'd likely break or tear apart under stress.

If your goal is genuinely to form a rope-like structure using only aubergines, you'd be much better off slicing the aubergines into thin, flexible strips (perhaps using a vegetable peeler or mandoline), drying or partially dehydrating them to increase flexibility, and then braiding or twisting them together, rather than knotting.

If you clarify your intended purpose or constraints further, I can suggest alternative methods.

The response looks good to me.
If you can get your organisation registered as a deductible gift recipient (DGR) in Australia, then I'll bet a few people here — myself included — would contribute.

This is exactly what the tool bubblewrap[1] is built for. It is pretty easy to wrap binaries with it and it gives you control over exactly what permissions you want in the namespace.
