In the US they call those Prize-Linked Savings Accounts. They’re actually legalized in a majority of states but aren’t marketed particularly heavily (especially when compared to lotteries, sportsbooks, prediction markets, …) https:/&#

I don’t think this is aimed at the labs and pre-training, it’s aimed at end users and their agents. Like if you’re a news site the paying customer isn’t a lab scraping your articles for training, it’s an end user that asked their agent to l

The part I don’t totally understand with the age verification laws is that as I understand it, the websites need to implement the age verification. It seems like the bad actors just won’t do that, and we could’ve made compliance easier for

To maybe add some framing, 37% of Americans don’t have enough cash to cover a $400 unexpected expense. Obviously $400 > $65 but I think it puts some perspective on how tight cash flow is for a good chunk of the population. https:/&

> it isn't constructed to extract money from you I mean yes, it is; It’s not a charity. I guess you could argue it tends to do it slower than gambling?

By that logic wouldn’t it be pretty much over for Mac OS as well? https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share

There was a Minnesota company called Healthsense (was acquired by GreatCall which was then acquired by BestBuy, not sure if the company/tech exists anymore) that had a similar approach on a broader scale. Their system used a bunch of m

It’s a little different because it’s easy for these IPTV pirates to whip up slick branding. Something more like if a guy in a nice looking uniform for a DVD company you hadn’t heard of offered to sell you movies. Especially for folks who ar

I found rpg.actor while looking to see if anybody had done character sheets on ATProto. I really like the work they’ve put into it but they use a static “self” key to make it 1 character per identity/account. That makes a ton of sense

Part of the argument of prediction markets is that it incentivizes good forecasting. Theoretically if you wanted to concoct a novel political polling technique or rent some compute for a new hyper local weather model, you could recoup your

TurnItIn.com was starting to be a thing when I was in high school. I found out it didn’t sanitize the papers you upload and had no CSRF protection, so I could upload a doc with inline JavaScript to hit the change-password and logout APIs. W

I assume we’ll end up with proof-of-identity attestation as a part of public posting (e.g. Worldcoin) which doesn’t necessarily solve the issue but will at least identify patterns more likely to be LLMs (e.g. a firehose of posts at all hour

There are a few “updating” benchmarks out there. I periodically take a look at these two: https://swe-rebench.com/ https://livebench.ai/

Things like MemGPT/Letta, ToM-SWE, and Voltropy have made long context documentation pretty manageable. You could probably build some specialized tooling/prompts for development artifacts specifically too. But I’ll be the first to

by lurkshark 7mo ago
I agree with this, I like spec-driven-development tooling partially for this reason. That being said, what I’ve found is often that I don’t include enough of the “why” in my prompt artifacts. The “what” and “how” are pretty well covered but

My thought was that if the refusal to service some requests is implemented as an external guard model The Pentagon could try to require them to drop the guard model. This would be similar to saying "we're asking for a 'produc

I don't think it's that elaborate. I didn't mean to suggest they intentionally goaded the government into this confrontation. I figure it's a simpler "Oh look, we now have a good opportunity to make that announcemen

My theory is that Anthropic has been wanting to make this change and doing it now while they’re making a (leaked to the) public stand in the name of ethics was a good opportunity.

by lurkshark 7mo ago
Seems like the two main threats are Defense Production Act and Supply Chain Risk. I'd assume Anthropic would sue if either were invoked. I could imagine Supply Chain Risk being easier to push back on because it's pretty clearly be

Yeah this standoff is worth at least 10 Super Bowl ads in good publicity. The Pentagon is saying "Claude is the best so we need to use it but you need to stop acting ethically". I'm almost wondering if someone in the administ

What I was getting at is that the current API is still a generic inference endpoint, but with OAuth instead of an API key. What I'm suggesting is that they move some of the client logic up to the OAuth endpoint so it's no longer a

I feel like a lot of this would go away if they made a different API for the “only for use with our client” subscriptions. A different API from the generic one, that moved some of their client behaviors up to the server seems like it would

I’ve thought an interesting outcome might be that it’s not even that there’s a binary generated. It’s just user input -> machine code LLM -> CPU. Like the only binary would be the LLM itself and it’s essentially mimicking software liv

What you’re describing is called “rollback netcode”. It’s a pretty cool chunk of theory, usually used for fighting games which are extremely sensitive to latency. This explainer has some nice graphic demos https://bymuno.com&#x2F
