WinClick: GUI Grounding with Multimodal Large Language Models
I use the same app for most 2fa and the passwords themselves (Bitwarden). It makes the 2FA slightly weaker being in the same app, but infinitely more useful. It does bug me that they (Bitwarden) as a service want me to use 2FA for first logins, which makes it harder to access. My master passphrase is long, unique and only on their app/site.
It becomes a question of whether the much higher salaries outweigh the higher costs for ambulance rides.

The biggest categories of higher costs vs the rest of the world is education and health care. I’m sure someone has done the analysis of calculating purchasing power including those categories.
Yes, although there are other theories. Some of those other theories actually retain some of Chomsky's ideas, such as our innate capability to learn language (which seems to be the idea most commonly disagreed with). Two examples are Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) and Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG).
I think the author misspoke and meant to say "easy-to-misuse" instead, which it definitely was.
>Perhaps so - but imagine they could somehow have had those nukes ready to go.

What does imagining have to do with reality? Imagine you could fly, shoot lasers from your eyes and shit money out your ass. There's no point in talking about unrealistic hypotheticals. There was 0% chance UN or any world powers would approve Ukraine keeping any of those nukes they inherited from the USSR.

And even if we were to imagine they did get to keep them, given Ukraine's situation back then, it was a big chance that some of those nukes or fissile material would end up in the hands of warlords creating more way problems than what we have right now.

> History would've gone differently; likely in a much, much better direction.

And now Saddam or Ghaddafi or Binladen or 9/11 planes could have been carrying fissile material stolen from poorly kept nukes in Ukraine at the USSR breakup. How is that a better direction?

This is the issue when people make short sighted emotional arguments without considering the second order effects of what their decisions would cause. It's like the trolley problem.
You can't be serious with this reply. You simply can not.
I work for DeepMind on project Astra. Not to dwell too deep into confidentiality of what capabilities I have been looking at, but it has been the theme since the flamingo model that you only gain about 1 model-generation by fine-tuning versus prompt-tuning.
The Trump administration is trying to tell Columbia what they are allowed to teach by ordering them to place their Middle Eastern Studies department under receivership.

This is an indisputably authoritation move, and in no way should be tolerated by a society that purports to care about democratic principles, freedom of speech, or the rule of law.
The author is clear that they're talking about "billion dollar tech companies" for an audience of those people called to them.

You're right that these are not the only place that people can write software and that many of us have recognized for a very long while that these are noxious places to write software, or that they were eventually going to become so.

Billion dollar FAANGs and their smaller, cargo culting, shadows represent a certain sector with a certain work atmosphere, much as game development companies and hedge/trading firms do. 15 years ago, during the ascent of Facebook and Google, this atmosphere was different than it is now -- innovative and luxurious and inviting -- and some people still look see them through the lens of the past, but they're much larger machines now, with different priorities and incentive structures, and as the author notes, those are mostly not aligned with sustainable, satisfying, or healthy environments for most of the engineers who've found themselves inside of them.

Like finance, they pay extremely well, and like games, they can make you feel like you're part of something you can brag about at a dinner party, but also like both, they have little concern about chewing you up for as long as you're willing to bear it.
To be clear, the solution to use "search" in this context is a "web search" and what you're responding to is the description of the prior, broken, behavior that prompted the story and subsequent change in behavior. I.e. ChatGPT now performs a Bing API query to get cached results for "who is ${persons name}". None of this relies on the model now figuring out how uncertain or certain it is, if it sees a query asking about a person it just always performs a search rather than trying to come up with an answer itself. It then also provides the links to the external pages it got the answer from.
Seems like a good time to unionize is when you don't need it, while the job is good. Get the union in place and work through issues like on-call, laying out actual articulable and measurable performance targets for review time, work-life balance rules and other "small" things while the job is good. That way when the money grubbing starts, the true horror-show policies are attempted, etc - you have an established union and a better bargaining position. Better than waiting until the job is shit and having to fight an uphill battle all the way.
> If what the French researcher wrote was harmless then I would agree with you that

How is it not?
OP here -- I'm new at this, but I don't think so. A zero output from a neuron still contributes to the output. Taking a silly toy case, imagine a network with one input, one neuron, one output. You're training to it match data where whatever the input is, it outputs 1 -- that is, your target state would have the weight set to zero and the bias set to 1. If it was initialised with the weight zero but the bias also zero, then when you pushed your test set through you'd get zero outputs, but the error would be non-zero and there would be adjustments to propagate back.

I could well be misunderstanding you, though!
0 sympathy. One thing is to have a personal opinion, another is to publicly voice it in mass public media with the intention of changing public policy (propaganda).

Sure you have freedom of expression in your own country, but since when does a country owe freedom of expression to foreigners? when those views are plainly anti state/administration (and not tangentially opposite). The state can and should exercise their right to reject entry. Interestingly constitutional rights start applying upon entry to the country, which was rejected, so..

If this were a diplomat and they had immunity maybe it's an issue. But I don't think a diplomat would push this hard on the policy of another country, rather they focus on their own.

I personally have publicly expressed an political opinion once on the US and I felt icky, but it was related to cybersecurity so it was within my line of work.

If my opinion were (hypothetically) something about the russians and I wanted to get involved in internet governance, I would expect a possibility of being rejected at the border.

Let's respect the borders of our countries both physically and intellectually.

Being rep aligned I don't have a similar issue during dem adm. since they have open borders. But maybe the dems will exhert their freedoms if they read about this or other personal opinions, by rejecting govmt contracts or private funding, especially in startup culture

If you are gonna meddle in another countries politics, be ready to face the consequences.

In general I've seen several cases like these, but they always have some dubious quality, a canadian that was detained by ICE, ends up she was selling some thc water.

A lot of the debate in this area is related to matters were we don't have the information, that coupled with selective effects that can make it look like a certain narrative is going on. I'm just not seeing the fascist state line. Neither in the US or Argentina. And I'm not 100% sure that Argentinians are not being influenced by american politics, there's been anti state riots and it has happened that some countries have organized them (facebook and myanmar)

That said, I do see the push for power from the executive. Executives targetting the judicial as an enemy is never a good look. But I have trust that the checks and balances will at least check or balance, especially so for the US, and to some extent Argentina too.

So yeah, I'm not in the sidelines on this one, nor with Krebs on the US Russia scenario.
Thank you, but they say "Offline models only run really well on Apple Silicon macs."
>Would a researcher who said something like "J6 should have gone all the way" have been denied entry in 2021? I suspect they would have, and that many would have cheered that refusal.

On what basis do you have for this belief? Frankly, I think that's facially ridiculous.

I don't think you got my point (not a big surprise considering how your approach here is) which is that the Supreme Court have not shown an interest in curtailing executive power.

Your posting here is akin to a boiling frog insisting to all the other frogs in the pot that they'll all know when the water is too hot, so they should not worry.
To my knowledge in the U.S. foreigners can only be denied entry for refusing to give up their passwords. I suppose an act of Congress could make it more like the situation in the UK.
They're probably doing RAG on a huge chunk of the internet, i.e. they built their own task-specific search engine.
> If you don't see how this can be useful, that's a failure of imagination on your part.

I too can sometimes find it quite frustrating when a thing that seems like a good idea to me is rejected by other people, especially when that rejection seems to come after very little consideration.

But if you want people to adopt a view similar to yours, and they haven't yet, I think this sort of attitude is counterproductive. I think the person you replied to is right about there being a marketing problem here. If there's a genuinely good idea, and its acceptance/adoption is disproportionately low, it must be because people aren't seeing its value. Maybe that's because they haven't been exposed to it, maybe it's because they lack the curiosity or motivation to understand it, maybe it's because they've been misinformed or propagandized against it... either way, if you care about increasing adoption there's really no other choice than to try to actively persuade people.

Yeah. It's all such a mess, and if anything the European colonists (French and British) in what became Canada -- while murderous and genocidal to the first nations -- were strategically "softer" on them than their American counterparts who were openly officially genocidal.

e.g. When the treaty of Ghent was signed ending the War of 1812, the chief (and really only) "victory" for the Americans was the fact that the British gave up defending/supporting the indigenous people in the midwest who had (under Tecumseh and with the support of the British to some degree) fought off American settlers. And so the Americans were free to go in and massacre and wipe out the remaining pockets of indigenous resistance in the Americas.

& Iroquois/Mohawk under Brant fled north to Canada, where the British granted them land along the Grand River valley here in Ontario.
I work at a FANG. Senior SDE. I don't have slack on my phone. I don't read emails (unless someone tells me out of band that one needs a response). Once I close this laptop work is dead to me until the following day.

You pick and choose your own involvement. I'm "passionate" about the job. I consider it a craft and a lifelong pursuit. I'm writing a book on the topic. But the job is just a job. I'm here because they give me money. That's where my obligation ends. I do have to do oncall rotations, and it sucks, but I mark that up to "what the money is for."

My only point being, one of these rants makes it to the front page every few months. "Unionize" gets thrown around. People complain as though it must be done. I've only worked 2 legit 80 weeks in my life. I decided I didn't like it, so I stopped doing it.

That means I cannot compete inside of this place with the people that work non-stop, live on slack, and devote their lives to their job. And that's OK. They can have the Top Tier rating and the salary that comes with it. I prefer to just make my little slice of the world good during the hours that I'm paid to do it. Then I go do something else.

Balance is a choice.
I wonder how much of this has been driven by ZIRP, making companies a little bit more lax on what they were spending energy on. Teams are large and devs are decoupled from the end user and end result (PMs, designers, leads, managers have more say on the product being created). That, coupled with devs traditionally, IMO, being enamored by system design and wanting to create even more efficient systems for building things, and given that is the one thing they have direct control over (not the end user experience and product), they would naturally want to focus their efforts on improving their systems for building things, at the sake of missing out on the bigger picture, which is that rebuilding systems has a cost that does not directly translate into net user benefit.

When you're closer to improving the bottom line in terms of sales and user joy, I think there's a greater likelihood that you focus less on spending time rebuilding your platform to whatever is currently hot on the scene. (Not to mention internal promotions may be skewed towards clear engineering efforts vs. more qualitative user-perceived improvements.)

You're comparing using an existing reservoir for hydrogen to building a new reservoir for PHES. There similarly exist dry lake beds that could be used for water storage. But generally they're not in suitable locations, which is the same problem that salt mines will have.

You're also comparing hypothetical costs to historical costs. Hypothetical costs put out by industry are usually out by about an order of magnitude.

There's a reason that PHES is the only one with historical costs.
Yeah so it really depends on the local setup. Here's a wall of text if you're interested:

Say you do software development with a platform engineering and cloud flavour on top, you might be using aws-vault to keep access keys and SSO session keys in a dedicated keychain rather than in plaintext in ~/.aws/. That keychain has an ACL that only allows aws-vault to access it, and has a self-lock timeout of a few minutes. This is great, because it is pretty secure, there is nothing to 'steal' (even from an unlocked machine) and it's still extremely convenient.

However. Say you do this with an external non-TouchID keyboard, when the STS timeout expires and you need to re-authenticate, you also need to unlock the keychain for a few seconds so aws-vault can either read out the SSO session tokens or the static secret for non-SSO usage, and it has to write back the new STS session.

During that window, the keychain unlock from such a keyboard means manual password entry, which in turn means that has to be in memory for a bit. Because a legacy keychain doesn't use data protection (but if you create a new one you do have that option) it's essentially just an AES encrypted file on disk. Because humans aren't likely to remember an AES key, it's derived and wrapped so you have some KDF that uses a user-selected password, which has to be in memory for a bit while the key is unwrapped/derived. The AES key itself has to stay in memory the entire duration of the unlocked state of the keychain, because without the AES key it can't read or write secrets.

Technically, the same happens to encrypted disk images (the AES ones at least, other types I'm not 100% sure). The DEK has to stay in memory while it is in use. It's why Apple started using systems like cryptexes and SSVs so the container disk is almost irrelevant from an integrity point of view. Before that, encrypted disks were an all-or-nothing approach.
> The bet is that if we collectively use unions correctly,

This sounds awfully similar to when people were holding their iPhones wrong.
More often you inherit a stack and rarely you move away from it. And even if you jump on the latest infrastructure trends, there will probably be enough enterprise customers that they will support it for a while.
Passwords can leak in many ways other than database breaches. Malicious front-end code and accidental logging that goes to a public place like an S3 bucket are two examples.
On the other hand, your post "rinks" of a general ignorance of labor history in the US, where unions have (at least, historically) been able to support each other across industries and facilitate class solidarity amongst workers. Perhaps if you showed up to some picket lines in your city and worked to build connections with your fellow workers by providing support in their struggles, you'd find that they're supportive of yours in return.
Chomsky had a stroke awhile back, which apparently left him unable to speak. But I guarantee that there are many linguists who would not agree that his model is dead.

As for LLMs, at present they require orders of magnitude more training data than children are exposed to, so it's unclear they have anything to say about how humans learn language.
> Just demand that OpenAI markets ChatGPT for what it is: a fun toy that sometimes provides information, but you can't tell when if you're a layman. OpenAI can still add that it's improving, if they want a positive marketing spin.

Nah it's not just Jetbrains. C++17 is the bare minimum at this point. It's even the default in GCC.
Depends on what's available for the language, but yea Wavenet and Neural2. With OpenAI TTS I'd often get weird bugs where the first API call comes back all garbled, but the second API call comes back fine. Wasting money. On top of that more expensive and higher latency. I'm interested to try out this new one.
Does it run on the severed floor?
This is an excellent initiative, and no doubt France will be making the same very soon.

We've witnessed it in Europe previously, in the financial sector. Before Brexit, London was by far the most important city for Finance in Europe. It's still the case for now, but Paris is growing very quickly, and Amsterdam is following too. Most major banks & trading shops opened offices in those 2 cities - the gap in salaries / bonuses, which used to be huge, is disapearing.

From the article though - "The amount of funding available has not yet been determined" - this and the last paragraph, sadly reflect partly the slowness of Europe. This is an unprecedent opportunity, maybe once in a lifetime, to attract top researches from the US towards EU, and it seems it's not yet the top priority.
I don't see this as a bad thing. Tech infra is a national security issue, and potential globalization gains are simply not that material compared to sovereignty over this capability. Just as a manufacturing base and supply chain are critical for a country to maintain, so is domestic tech systems.

Features and capabilities will be copied, the only loss is shareholder returns for tech service exports.
>LLM's hallucinate. They just do.

Would you be okay if LLMs start responding that you murdered or diddled your kids when responding to "who is crazygringo" queries?

Hallucinating about a cookie recipe or whatever is one thing. But people blindly trust what LLMs spit out. They shouldn't, but they do. This sort of hallucination can cause real damage to real people.
What rubbish.

This is the problem with the internet in a nutshell.

A company that publishes libel and harmful content deserves to be fined.

And look what's happened. The collapse of western intellectualism, democracy and liberalism happening before our eyes.

We should not make the mistake of giving that disastrous "I didn't make it, I'm just publishing it" get out of jail card to AI companies.

If they somhow can't fix it, while a certain other AI company can magically fix whinnie the poo references, then they should be prosecuted.
