Does this reflect multicore benchmark results or single thread? For pondering the relevance to real world app performance this seems a central thing as the vast majority of non-game apps can't make effective use of more than one or a f

Taken seriously, this is a fallacy and a way of thinking that easily halts progress in making the world a better place. You can always use whataboutism to argue against any improvement on grounds that a consistent ethic would require you to

Seems some years away to get that into consumer price range.

Yeah, this is just being sensible. There at most you might lack some approval for your solid engineering decision. But when the described kind of worming in happens without your knowledge and there's just some random reverse shell stuf

It will be interesting to see how Clojure and Scala do in the longer run in the industry oriented FP languages scene. I wonder if there's any data points around that could tell a tale.

At the risk of whataboutism, this is looking a little differnet now on the world stage with the US-on-Denmark threats. A second source for AI hw from China could turn out to be a good card to have even for western countries.

Framing the question a bit differently could help: The aim should be to engineer the system so that you don't (and can't) have access to the information, so you minimize vulnerability to legal attacks. A strawman mod to protonmail

In AWS you could have quite complex things as stuff like Lambda and EC2 have free tiers. But it's also not really relevant to the main point of the article which is the risk of large surprise bills from eg runaway feedback loops and Do

I think you have the reasoning backwards, there's no "must" here. Historically there are lots and lots of systems which have struggled to approach their peak FLOPS in real-world apps due to off-chip bottlenecks.

Even a badly operated on-prem system has the advantage that if someone breaks in, they are taking a risk of getting caught. Whereas with Azure the TLAs could just hoover up everything there without high risk of customers finding out (assumi

Yes, something like this, the intermediate verified steps wouldn't have to be shown to the user.

The article covers several themes in decompilation, but for academic work in decompilation just take some papers, study them, study references, try to reproduce the experiments I guess. For the bare basics, you can get a disassembly of a ra

No, but for verifying equivalence you could use some symbolic approach that is provably correct. The LLM could help there by making its output verifiable.

Eh, this reads like damning with faint praise to me. Lots of robust and fast real world systems are in FP languages. Ocaml is estabilished and mature, far from "is it production ready?" category.

Isn't the training already exempt from copyright? Copyright is in the core about enabling licenses related to who's allowed to distribute copies of content (not ideas, but the exact same text, etc). edit: apparently in the EU the

And from the paper seems like they played it interestingly in the researchers direction as well: "1.2. Responsible Disclosure We disclosed our results to Apple on May 24, 2024. Apple’s Product Security Team have acknowledged our report

This would result in some refreshing models, I guess they would be trained mostly on out-of-copyright stuff from 75+ years ago and wouldn't have knowledge of the modern world. Maybe they could skin the robotic bureucrats in vintage sci

What law would be broken here? Seems that copyright wouldn't apply unless they somehow snatched the OpenAI models verbatim.

What's the memory bandwidth like compared to the above EPYC setup that the tweeter claims has "24 channels of DDR5 RAM" ?

Nitpick: JVM supports recursive tail calls, but doesn't have the "tail call elimination" optimization that would make tail calls consume 0 stack.

nitpick: 68k of course wasn't Apple's architecture. The '030 was the nicest GP CPU around in its day, used in the Amiga 3000, Atari Falcon, Sun 3, NeXT Cube etc.

It will be interesting if a significant jurisdiction's copyright law is some day changed to treat LLM training as copying. In a lot of places, previous behaviour can't be retroactively outlawed[1]. So older LLMs will be much more

In democracies the power of government and media are supposed to be different branches of the system. When this is violated it's considered a threat to democracy. Like in Italy Berlusconi's media empire, etc.

I was talking about what agendas the powers that control the TikTok/Twitter/Meta might have, not (only) protesting the opinion. And in this case they are known to be exceptionally ruthless and part of Trump's administration.

Also Twitter (Trump/Musk) would never push for regime changes in Europe. (For anyone out of the loop, see https://www.dw.com/en/elon-musk-backs-far-right-afd-in-contr... )

The root problem there is that fossil energy is very cheap and the state sponsors production of fossil fuels. Consequently the energy incentives are weak and other concerns take priority. This is coupled with low public awareness, many peop
