For government tenders, I do know that agencies need certification. Maybe not ISO2001 (which is a security standard that many corporate procurement processes require the supplier to have obtained when purchasing software), but Cyber Essenti

This was Bill Gates' idea with regard to a bit-tax, and goes someway to explaining why Microsoft initially didn't believe the internet would take off (and tried to push their own MSN walled garden as an alternative).

So attention is based on a smaller subset of context?

They just want to make sure you're not a spammer.

by lwhi 9mo ago
What do you think context is, if not 'attention'?

I have a friend who bought a fair phone with a view to being able to replace its modular parts. Four years later and the model had been discontinued, so he had to buy a new Fairphone. Would it more economical and sustainable to buy a second

As someone who's neurodiverse myself, I do want to agree with this. Having said that, I do think it's possible for someone to choose to be an asshole and be neurodiverse at the same time. I wouldn't ever want my neurodiversit

There are lots of developers who are able to lean into their inclination to be non-communicative. In many cases I think this inclination is at least partly due to neuro diversity; but I've met some who are simply genuinely unpleasant.

I loved the video. Didn't get the motion sickness myself.

It feels like this is an example of the proliferation of LLMs destroying our culture.

The whole song is effectively a remix of "Cola Bottle Baby" by Edwin Birdsong.

Exactly .. the delay would be a one time event.

But I don't agree that the onus should be on the open source movement to accept blame. These corporation are not run by people who have no choice, they're run by people who choose to run the system to the absolute limit for absolu

I think your analysis is too simplistic. Stallman cared / cares mostly about user freedom, but was canny enough to understand that businesses would also been to be able to engage with this freedom too. Copyleft licensing was put in pla

by lwhi 10mo ago
But it's frankly not true, despite your desire to appear sardonic For instance, does Richard Stallman fit this mold?

I don't misunderstand what you're saying, but I think it's a twisted point of view.
137.
by lwhi 10mo ago
I'm not sure I follow your line of reasoning. The exploited are in the wrong for not recognising they're going to be exploited? A pretty twisted point of view, in my opinion.
138.
by lwhi 10mo ago
Yes, but unfortunately this never happens; and depressingly, I can't imagine it happening. The open source movement has been exploited.
139.
by lwhi 10mo ago
The promise and freedom of open source has been exploited by the least egalitarian and most capitalist forces on the planet. I would never have imagined things turning out this way, and yet, here we are.

There aren't any rules that prevent us from changing course. The points you raise, literally, do not affect a thing.

by lwhi 10mo ago
I disagree. How do we work together when we all have our own unilateral views of software?
142.
by lwhi 10mo ago
This leads me to wonder, when are we likely to have LLMs in robot form in every day life?
143.
by lwhi 10mo ago
I completely agree. Corporates are allergic to risk; not to spending money. If anything, I feel that SaaS and application development for larger organisations stands to benefit from LLM assisted development.

I suppose timing attacks become an issue too.

Wouldn't you need to expose UUID if you want to make use of optimistic locking?
146.
by lwhi 10mo ago
So the UUID could be used as an imperfect indicator of a records created time?
147.
by lwhi 10mo ago
That's definitely a fair point. However, let's say I record human interactions with my app; for example when a user accepts or rejects an AI sythesised answer. This data can be used by me, to influence the behaviour of an LLM via

by lwhi 10mo ago
Exactly. Corporations think in terms of risk. Second only to providing a useful function, a successful SaaS app will have been built to mitigate risk well. It's not going to be easy to meet these requirements without prior knowledge an

This was a good read.

Information about the way we interact with the data (RLHF) can be used to refine agent behaviour. While this isn't used specifically for LLM training, it can involve aggregating insights from customer behaviour.
