This potentially can be a supply chain attack at a massive scale.

When you do not have a seat at the table, you are not in the game, and winning a game is an impossibility. As long as you are a player, it is remains an option, if perhaps not win it somehow, but at least drag it to a draw, or change the ru

It can be a win-win. Simply having a seat at the table can be a win.

The system in question is a distributed system, an interaction within that system such as "confession" involves ridiculous amounts of distributed processing, far beyond two nodes that were participating in that original exchange.

"Wero lets users send money using just a phone number — no IBAN, no card, no intermediary." As long as all the other cards still get acceptance, this seems like a great system.

Right way of resisting is not to quit your job, but to observe, be friendly, and gradually push away toxic people.

The results are repeatable. Models are performing with predictable error rates on the tasks that these models had been trained and tested.

The default could be that a background upgrade should not be a foreground stress test. Imagine you are driving a car and from time ro time, without any warning, it suddenly starts accelerating and decelerating aggressively. Your powertrain

Is there a good reason why upgrades need to stress-test the whole system? Can't they go slowly, throttling resource usage to background levels? They involve heavy CPU use, stress the whole system completely unnecessary, the system eas

I'm curious, where it has to be disclosed? Like if a company would pay a few legitimate reddit account owners to review their post and upvote, and would disclose this activity in the DISCLOSURES.txt available on their website, would t

There are still blatant failure modes, when models engage into clear sycophancy, rather than expressing enthusiasm, etc. I'd guess, in practice a benchmark (like this vibesbench), that could help catching unhelpful and blatant sycophan

There is a nice essay from Paul Graham that starts with: > The word "prig" isn't very common now, but if you look up the definition, it will sound familiar.

It's not a question of mimicking, it is interesting what is current within the teenage/student community. Adult population runs out of steam at some point.

I'm curious, is there some meaningful way for geriatric millennials to use Tik Tok? Without being sucked in into doomscrolling and content consumption? Produce content? I'd guess it should be possible to play with the thing someh

Seems like an interesting story, Ashawna - she was about 25 at the time, and as per Wikipedia, already worked on the military projects - the Sprint Missile System, and was at Xerox. > The processor was reverse-engineered by Ashawna Haile

Yes, executioners do proliferate this way. They tend to run out of murderers quickly though, then use any other excuses to execute.

Wow, I'm looking at current "Open Shuttles", a license to use 4KB of SRAM in the project is $2500. But it comes with Wishbone Bus interface! > 1024x32 Commercial SRAM > CF_SRAM_1024x32 > Commercial SRAM: 1024 words x

Junior engineers now learn from AIs. And AIs now learn from RL cost functions. And RL cost functions are being set by PhDs, with little to no production grade engineering experience ;) The result is interesting. First, juniors are miserabl

The same argument was there about needing to be an expert programmer in assembly language to use C, and then same for C and Python, and then Python and CUDA, and then Theano/Tensorflow/Pytorch. And yet here we are, able to talk to

Can you give an example of some part of the physical world or infosphere that an LLM can't model, at least approximately?

Below is the worst quote... It is plain wrong to see an LLM as a bags of words. LLMs pre-trained on large datasets of text are world models . LLMs post-trained with RL are RL-agents that use these modeling capabilities. > We are in di

There are a lot of people around who are playing victims to get benefits. And relentlessly pushing their agenda.
