How so?

At the risk of taking the analogy too far, I would treat refining like modifying a dynamic library. You can technically modify behavior, but only in a very coarse way. post-training is like writing a wrapper around the binary. It is closer

Not just the language. Its like all LLM front end design is working off one of three templates.

Not 100x faster, but 100x less memory. In fact, this version is actually slower for some use cases. Everything is a trade off.

On the other hand, people are using Grok to do things like “nudify” images of random people they find online, including minors. I’m not a fan of limiting access to models, but the other extreme (no limits or guardrails) is at least as bad i

Exponential back off retries could hide a real issue, but I would estimate something like 99.99999999% of network retries are resolved within the first 2 attempts. Not using retries is optimizing for the astronomically rare case, which is

This seems strictly worse than speech to text as input to AI? I cannot comprehend the output from AI fast enough for the speed difference between a verbal and thought response to matter. Not to mention the privacy nightmare of logging my ra

If anything, I’m less likely to trust learning materials from someone who refuses to consider other languages, especially if they go so far as to avoid using tooling unless it’s written in a specific language.

I think it’s to show that he lost the laser focused drive to succeed. Before he was willing to make big sacrifices to “make it”. And on the first step of the ladder to success he started taking on other responsibilities for fun.

DNA splicing, human cloning, super-sonic passenger flight, human gene editing (CRISPR), nuclear energy, biological weapons, and probably more.

Nothing changed here and it seems reasonable to me. If you want GitHub to tell people about your security fix, someone needs to tell GitHub about the fix first. AFAIK they mostly pull from the normal sources like NVD automatically, but you

There are plenty of ways to notice a malicious release without observing it running. Build provenance, maintainer alerts on new releases, tying releases to specific git tags, etc all help.

Only a few of the recent supply chain attacks were discovered by users noticing weird behavior. The majority were noticed by maintainers or third party groups noticing things like releases not tied to a source tag, many rapid releases, etc.

OpenAI had >5000 employees last year. How many work in the hardware group?

It very well could be a culture issue. If it is, would you extend your opinion to say Apple turns a blind eye to ethical issues as well? All of the employees divulging secrets came from Apple after all. The person named in the lawsuit was

I’m not one to defend huge companies, but OpenAI is a huge company. It’s possible this kind of behavior is endorsed throughout, or it’s possible it’s limited to this specific group. We know nothing beyond what Apple has alleged.

I make roughly triple the median income in my MCOL area. I own a modest 3b2b house. My mortgage plus daycare for two kids alone costs $78k/year (~$6.5k/month)

It’s like the bystander effect but for code, lol. Just pick someone and give them the task.
