You can't take any statement like this remotely seriously. We live in a world where NSA officials can testify before congress that they don't "collect" data, because that's true under some baroque definition of &quo

If you're submitting an eight page conference paper you're very often hunting runts (short lines ending paragraphs) and rewording for better justification, especially on the first page and even more so in the abstract. First-page

The optimal amount of stress about that stuff is not zero, and most teenagers are going to be desperately biased towards "none of this matters, just peermax".

This interview feels weird to me, maybe because there's lots of places where I'm thinking there's an obvious idea that isn't raised. Like, it seems obvious to me that sleep has a higher opportunity cost in humans than mo

It comes up because people are mistakenly conflating consciousness with moral personhood. People want to be talking about whether AI suffers in a morally meaningful way. In non-human animals this debate is often centered around the question

You're going to make life much harder for yourself, not easier, because you'll still need German legal advice but now you need an expensive multi-national lawyer/firm. Anyone cheaper will refuse to touch it. Germany cares abo

Maintainers need to keep a wall between the package publishing and public repos. Currently what people are doing is configuring the public repo as a Trusted Publisher directly. This means you can trigger the package publication from the rep

The corruptions of this administration are legion, but this isn't one of them. Unless you can point to something Lutnick did to create this outcome, I don't see how he had a better view of the whole thing than anyone else.

Government's free to not like the terms and go with another provider. That's whatever. Government's not free to say, "We'll blow up your business with a false accusation if you don't give us the terms we want (

If you think a blue government would even consider threatening to falsely accuse a company of being a supply-chain threat in order to gain leverage in a contract negotiation, you're insane. There's nothing remotely normal about th

The actions of the US government here are openly corrupt. The point of the supply chain risk provisions is to denote, you know, supply chain risks. The intention is not to give the Pentagon a lever it can pull to force any company to agree

I don't understand how any sort of deal is defensible in the circumstances. Government: "Anthropic, let us do whatever we want" Anthropic: "We have some minimal conditions." Government: "OpenAI, if we blast Ant

You should quit because the only reasonable thing for your leadership to have done is to refuse to sign any agreement with DoW whatsoever while it's attempting to strongarm Anthropic in this fashion. It doesn't even matter if Open

by syllogism 7mo ago
They're labelling Anthropic a supply chain risk, without even the pretense that this is in fact true. They're perfectly content to use the tool _themselves_, but they claim that an unwillingness to sign whatever ToS DoW asks marks

If I were a CTO or VP these days I think I'd push for a blanket ban on committing docs/readmes/diagrams etc along with the initial work. Teams can push stuff to a `slop/` folder but don't call it docs. If you push a

Well, if you take "review the LLM output" in its most general way, I guess you can class everything under that. But I think it's worth talking about the problem in a bit more detail than that, because someone can easily say &

I think LLMs are net helpful if used well, but there's also a big problem with them in workplaces that needs to be called out. It's really easy to use LLMs to shift work onto other people. If all your coworkers use LLMs and you do

This has been discussed to death but to reiterate here: people have been much too polite about Kramnick's nonsense. Danya and Hikaru are (were) probably the two people in the world whose bullet play is least suspicious. Cheating isn&#x

In Europe there are legitimate and extremely established services that require you to input your bank login details into something other than your bank's website. It's madness.

What is "real reasoning"? The mechanism that the models use is well described. They do what they do. What is this article's complaint?

It's interesting that there's still such a market for this sort of take. > In a recent pre-print paper, researchers from the University of Arizona summarize this existing work as "suggest[ing] that LLMs are not principled

LLM agents are very hard to talk about because they're not any one thing. Your action-space in what you say and what approach you take varies enormously and we have very little body of common knowledge about what other people are doing
