Once that side channel was found, it was kind of inevitable it would be plugged. Even under a normal administration, that's an opsec leak.

Passkeys are an open standard? You might as well argue against SSH keys.

I'm not completely familiar with bidding procedures but don't bidding procedures usually have requirements? Why not just list a requirement of unrestricted usage? Or state, we require models to be available for AI murder drones or

What are you talking about? Google employees and the corporation itself in particular overwhelmingly donated to the Harris campaign. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/alphabet-inc/recipients?id=... The corporation

I think the bigger insanity here is the labeling of a supply chain risk. It prohibits DoD agencies and contractors from using Anthropic services. It'd be one thing if the DoD simply didn't use Anthropic. It's another when it

I think those are two different orders: one with a gag order and one without. In cases without gag orders, Google has pushed back or requested users fight the subpoena. In this instance, Google got a gag order while Meta doesn't appear

I think because here there's no single correct answer that the model is allowed to be fuzzier. You still mix in real training data and maybe more physics based simulation of course but it does seem acceptable that you synthesize extrem

Would it actually be a good idea to operate a car near an active tornado?

Maybe this is why execs love LLMs a little too much? It's probably not unconnected at the very least.

I don't think the environment being cool is a factor in current data center designs is it? Otherwise, the northern US or Alaska would be candidates. Instead, a lot of the data center boom is in states like Texas or the south. I think s

Wasn't the original ARPANET entirely owned and controlled by the US government? I think it might've been resilient against attacks from people who didn't own the network but I would also be surprised to learn the US governmen

Not to be too pedantic, but I think you mean Grok with a k. Groq with a q is a separate AI hardware company.

It's the frictionless aspect of it. It requires basically no user effort to do some serious harassment. I would say there's some spectrum of effort that impacts who is liable along with a cost/benefit analysis of some safe gu

I wonder what the terms of this new deal are. Goldman Sachs had accepted absolutely ridiculous terms like forgoing fees because they were apparently desperate for consumer business. Chase has an existing consumer business so I can't im

While there isn't a way to differentiate between scraping for training data and content accessed in response to a user request, I think you can block Googlebot-extended to block training access.

Iirc, the problem with Bayesian neural networks is that they're significantly more difficult to train. Using stuff like SVI reduces a lot of the representational ability of the distribution over weights. It's also questionable how

It's weird to me that when people talk about Tesla, the business, is doing poorly, the retort is citing the stock price as if that's somehow what the person is talking about and not going to be seen as disconnected from fundamenta

What makes you think that the entire process isn't being made more efficient? There are entire papers dedicated to pulling out more FLOPs from GPUs so that less energy is being wasted on simply moving memory around. Of course, there&#x

I think the concern is that this might somehow enable a privacy policy they weren't aware of that permits training over the entire Drive. However, I think the primary reason for this is that these products generally would like to store

It's actually a different crawler for training data: Googlebot-extended so you can exclude yourself from the training data though not the search summaries.

The answer should be no right? I think BPP is expected to be equal to P and BQP to be not equal to P.

1p solutions still require consent since the analytics banners are also there to enable processing of personal information in the first place (on the most primitive level IP address)

Do you know an analytics service that actually does this? I've seen a bunch of "consentless" analytics solutions that seem to be violating GDPR one way or another because they use the IP address as an identifier (or as part o

by inkysigma 11mo ago
I think this scheme still requires consent since you are processing pseudo anonymous identifiers that fall under personal information without the essential function basis. Hashing is considered insufficient under the GDPR iirc. Have you ask

by inkysigma 11mo ago
Can you actually do meaningful analytics without the banner at all? You need to identify the endpoint to deduplicate web page interactions and this isn't covered under essential use afaik. I think this means you need consent though I d

Isn't Gmail covered under the Workspace privacy policy which forbids using that for training data. So I'm guessing that's excluded by the "in accordance" clause.

I don't think that quite matches because those labs have very clear directions of research in LLMs. The theming is a bit more constrained and I don't know if a line of research as vague as what LeCun is pursuing would be funded by

If the standard for "going on the highway" is whatever Tesla is doing, then Waymo was able to go on highways in 2010 under the Chaffeur project. It turns out though that the reliability of actually being driverless is a pretty big
