Am I right in my layman's understanding that context windows scaling up requires (mainly) much more compute at run time? Or do longer context models require different/longer training?

It's a starting point to my understanding, not an end all be all categorization. It helps get across that the only useful distinction worth making is between those who work, and those whose capital does the work for them I don't k

How do you think retired people are classified by Marxists? The class distinction does not mean "work until you die" , it means "you need to/have needed to work to live". So no, you're not a "demi-capitali

All of this discussion really makes me think of Robert Miles "Is ai safety a Pascal's mugging?" from 4 years(!) ago[0]. All of this discussion has been had by Ai safety researchers for years in my layman understanding... Mayb

why doesn't apple make more different devices then? I guess they have been trending that way.. But still, how does "compartmentalizing" make up for 30 different production lines and whatever else can't be parallelized? L

How on EARTH do you make money with 30 different phone versions? Do apple/google/samsung TOGETHER even put out 30 phones a year? That seems absolutely not profitable but what do I know I guess!

Can reddit issue requests to archive or whichever site is used to do it and have them taken down ? Or worse yet, rebuild their deleted history from the archives and THEN issue takedowns? I am realizing I have no serious idea how archival of

Reading Pegasus[0] was terrifying, and yet that second exploit link is so exciting and awe inspiring I fluctuate between admiration and terror. IIRC governments like the Saudi's offered Ronaldo levels of money to some of NSO's eng

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying they don't need the social ceremony where everyone adds obfuscation, because there is some simple way for one user to derive the same security? Does that not rely on us all tr

I haven't kept up with the space in some time but if this is what I'm remembering, all that's needed is one participant in the ceremony to keep their secret forever/"lose" it for the security to be guaranteed.

I guess you're right, I'm being too loose. I should say, I expect google to at least give some consideration to the quality of the source it considers when ranking results and giving me an answer, and for queries about pop culture

Isn't that kinda reductive? We absolutely do expect google to be somewhat legitimate and correct, in a wide range of queries. In the most generous to your meaning terms, We expect them to, when googling stuff about someone, not rank a

That's what your lawyer would say is the case is the impression I got. Or, more seriously, perhaps that could be a toggle. Similar to how if you hit the panic button on iphones it no longer takes biometrics until you give it the code?
