The Google Docs autocomplete seems to be giving more and more complex suggestions, but maybe that's just my imagination after spending some time with copilot and ChatGPT. There are definitely a whole lot of really subtle applications o

I think it's less about who can shape internet policy, and more of a rebuke on how technophobic regulation has led to Europe completely missing out on a key global industry despite many key innovations originating in Europe.

Haven't loan decisions always been black box? Sometimes they'll attribute decisions to credit scores, but those scoring systems have always been proprietary, and they won't even tell you what data your scoring is based on.

Fake towers have always been super easy to detect. There are ways to be sneaky about it, but law enforcement doesn't care because it's not like they're going to have to face any consequences.

The attacker controls the login form. They could use javascript to just scrape it out of the password field if they wanted to. Those solutions might get in the way of existing tools for logging password forms, but there are trivial workarou

As the models proliferate, I guess we'll be finding out soon. The torrent has been going pretty slow for me for the past couple hours, but it looks like there are a couple seeders, so eventually it'll hit that inflection point whe

He made an insensitive joke tweet when people were accusing him of getting lithium from Bolivia. Last I checked, Tesla denied sourcing any lithium from Bolivia, and no external investigators have managed to show a connection. He deleted the

Yeah, their recent papers show the smaller LLAMA models outperforming the major LLMs today, and they also have bigger models. This isn't just an alternative, it's a multi order of magnitude optimization. https://aibusin

Hell, I'd love to be able to buy a $30k server to run these models. I think to run BLOOM required something more along the lines of a $200k server.

My understanding is that weights are normally stored as pickled python blobs, which means arbitrary code execution as they are unpickled.

Do you think there are any physical phenomena that can be used that might be sensitive to relativistic effects? Something like a quartz crystal that actually vibrates at different speeds depending on how dilated the current reference frame

Isn't 1k a day like, even if it was every day, an entry level tech job in the bay area? Surely you know some people who are making 400k+ in the bay area.

Read up on credential stuffing, this is increasingly common. With all the recent breaches, there are groups that use old passwords to quickly identify MFA locked accounts behind re-used passwords. These lists are then sold to people who wil

Not just phishing, server side attacks can hoover up passwords all day long. Also XSS can extract passwords from password managers, etc. Passwords are dumb. The static/symmetric nature of passwords makes authentication fully transitive

My understanding is that in the bay area, they do silly demos from time to time, and let people ride in them for free, but it's not an actual usable service anywhere. Like I said, basically Willy Wonka. If something has changed I'

There's basically zero carbon on the moon. A ton of it on Mars though (lots of CO2 ice). Our moon is something like 45% silica on the surface. That is a fuckton of silicon. Step one is definitely making a solar panel factory, and the

I feel like Google used to be really big on the "release early, release often" mantra. At some point they turned more into Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. You can look in the windows and see them doing cool shit, but it neve

Not at all. For example Ethereum and Monero etc have floating blocksizes that will adjust due to market demand. The fee market can get pricey for a while, but it quickly adapts to new volume. In the early days Satoshi begrudgingly put in a

It's just another tool. Mindlessly relying on any tool is obviously going to be the downfall of any professional, but refusing to use tools that could easily 5x your productivity is even more ridiculous.

There are actual, visible consequences to trying to keep the old dying system alive. It's hopelessly broken, and more important, unsustainable. For it to truly be a product of "evolution", you have to let the broken parts die

Maybe today. In five or ten years, refusing to use LLMs for this sort of work is likely going to be pretty analogous to refusing to use a computer, and typing up all your documents on a typewriter.
