Speaking of cute animals that communicate during earthquakes, apparently kangaroo rats use "footdrumming" to message each other about danger. I wonder what travels faster, the pressure wave from the footdrumming or the P-wave? [0]

VLMs are selectively blind — they decide how much to look at an image based on question framing (open-ended vs Yes/No vs MCQ), even when the same visual reasoning is required.

This is about changing the way FedRAMP accreditation is done for any cloud service, like Box (or a new SaaS that you may create tomorrow). The FedRAMP process requires you go through a certain set of audits, meet a certain set of standards,

Public trust is not a security clearance; it is simply a more involved background check. A security clearance is only granted after a T3/T5 investigation and adjudication of the request. The SF312 NDA signed in order to receive your cl

With the recent veto of SB 1047, it becomes even more important to ask why these proposed policies are lacking. We suggest that all modern AI regulations are overly broad and flawed because they miss the most important part of AI capabiliti

Do you have an example of this workflow? Are you developing outside of XCode on a non-macOS platform in Swift and then essentially compiling and packaging using GitHub Actions?

Fascinating. The massive variance in the percentage of chickens that prefer roosting off the ground is interesting. I wonder what environmental pressures drives this decision.

1. The PROTECT Act provisions have repeatedly been upheld by both appellate the Supreme Court as constitutional as long as the CSAM in question meets the Miller or Ferber standards. Either the law is constitutional, or you’re proposing that

You are grossly under-estimating the ability of the FBI’s cyber forensics teams to discern whether or not data was planted maliciously or produced overtly, as well as under-estimating the ability of the courts and a jury to understand when

This is a misinformed and incorrect take. The PROTECT Act of 2003 [0] makes it illegal to possess CSAM that is generated by superimposing faces of minors onto sexually explicit imagery, or vice versa. This bill predates generative AI models

The old search was much better than the new search. The new search can never find exact strings in my repos, even when I have copy-pasted those strings from my repo to the search bar!

Apple may already be headed in that direction. They already have unified CPU and GPU RAM. It doesn’t seem far-fetched to imagine that they could unify persistent storage and memory.

Military contracts are posted and solicited publicly. There's no "dark" acquisition of the type that you are suggesting. You can look up if OpenAI has any contracts with the DoD at [0]. They do not. [0] https://www

Out of curiosity, are you a Christian who observes Lent? Many of my Christian friends do not consider fish to be “meat” as that is not allowed during Lent, but fish is allowed, therefore fish != meat.

This is survivorship bias. No counterexamples emerge because successful and working capabilities can’t and won’t be shared? Not until declassification of those sources kicks in. The government should not give up powerful intelligence tactic

There’s no feeling of power here. I took on this role because the FBI needs people to help them answer these hard questions, and your traditional Silicon Valley crypto bros won’t help. I was raised in this country post-9/11 and was tau

No, this is a misconception. The FBI is not just a law enforcement agency. It is also an intelligence agency.

FISA 702 is not a criminal authority. It’s used in cases of foreign surveillance, cyber attacks, terrorism, and espionage. “Convictions” and “evidence” are not the right words, “intelligence” is.

Absolutely. I was given full access to all of their SLs, EADs, and staff members. I was able to brief Director Wray on my findings and continue to engage with their leadership on strategies for the betterment of the Bureau’s stance on key i

The FBI needs to do a better job of communicating to the public the existing oversight mechanisms it has, as well as reporting in aggregate types of issues it has prevented through the use of the authority. Additionally, more frequent (quar

I am a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley in AI and currently serve as an external advisor to the FBI on AI and AI Policy. I've worked very closely with the teams that utilize FISA Part 702 and have seen the types of issues they are actively

by ritwikgupta 3y ago
Better oversight for FISA Part 702 is needed, not the removal of the authority entirely. FISA 702 is key in the ability of the FBI to collect intelligence on those who seek to harm the United States.

This simply is not true! NASA and IBM need to do further literature review and rely less on press releases. There are larger foundation models for geospatial imagery available. Our pre-training method, Scale-MAE [0], has 323M parameters, ma
